Chapter 417: Breakthrough of the Super-Tier Skill! Su Ping's Victory!
Chapter 417: Breakthrough of the Super-Tier Skill! Su Ping's Victory!
The splattering dragon blood, the sword that had just been sheathed, was barely seen by anyone in the entire arena.
However, they clearly witnessed the azure dragon that had taken flight, suddenly severed in two, stunned and motionless in midair!
The raging wind and thunder elements, after a moment of chaotic eruption, vanished without a trace!
The terrifying offensive from before was annihilated by this single sword strike, reduced to ashes!
What just happened?
Apparently, no one understood what had transpired.
Even Su Ping was momentarily stunned.
Because he never imagined that Qian Yi, at this moment, could instantly slay the azure dragon with a single sword.
According to his thoughts, Qian Yi, with the Five Elements in motion at this juncture, could not only block but also suppress the azure dragon.
Then, continuing to stall for a moment, waiting for the Five Elements to reach the fourth rotation or even directly entering the peak state of the fifth rotation, he could cleanly end this battle.
But with just one sword?
How could Qian Yi, who had condensed the Wind and Thunder Wings, achieve this?
The reason was not difficult to discern.
At the moment the sword was unsheathed, Qian Yi's Five Elements radiance dimmed, indicating that within this brief moment, Qian Yi's Five Elements rotation had already reached its pinnacle.
And it wasn't just a simple matter of using the skill while the Five Elements were in motion.
Hence, there was only one answer.
Su Ping's Spirit Eye instantly locked onto Qian Yi's body, and at this moment, two changes appeared on Qian Yi's body.
The first change was also what Su Ping had anticipated.
Naturally, Qian Yi had acquired a new skill.
A sword skill.
During this period, in the few opportunities Qian Yi had to take action, he used a pure golden sword, and Qian Yi's sword skills already covered many elements, except for rare attributes like light, darkness, and space-time.
Uniquely, he lacked sword skills for the gold and earth elements.
And the gold element was almost intrinsically linked to the sword.
Therefore, when this sword was unsheathed again, it was reasonable for Qian Yi to comprehend sword skills.
【Perfect Blade Slash (Mastery): Named a blade, but in truth, a sword. The sheath conceals its sharpness. When drawn, it possesses the absolute power and speed to slay with a single strike.】
This skill was somewhat similar to the previous One-Word Electric Sword, yet also somewhat different.
Nevertheless, it was still a good thing.
And within the observation of the Spirit Eye, another change and breakthrough in Qian Yi's skill list were evidently extraordinary.
Among the five paper bodies controlled by Qian Yi, the five origami figures, each with a super-tier skill 'Celestial Five Elements Body', had progressed from 'Entry' to 'Proficiency'.
This was also the reason why the speed of Qian Yi's Five Elements Body rotation had reached a new level.
Simultaneously, the burst of energy released had also attained a new level.
Did the proficiency level of the super-tier skill increase?
After understanding this, Su Ping turned to the young Qian Yi, who had silently made progress without anyone noticing.
However, at this moment, Su Ping finally understood.
But just as this scene appeared, the entire arena erupted with a mountain-shaking roar after a brief silence.
Even Lu Guangming, who had remained calm and composed throughout and was certain of Su Ping's defeat, exclaimed in surprise:
"What just happened? At the last moment, Su Ping turned the tables! That origami figure actually took action! And with just one sword, it instantly slew Chen Zhan's azure dragon! What's going on here?"
What just happened?
Wang Shengtian, standing beside him, pondered and said:
"Is Su Ping hiding his true abilities? In fact, the Celestial Five Elements Body skill doesn't even need charging; it can directly enhance to its peak? But this is a bit..."
"No!"
Zhang Lan interrupted him, speaking with certainty:
"That origami figure indeed requires charging, but at that critical moment, it should be the skill proficiency level breaking through. Therefore, it completed the charging at the last moment!
And... based on my observation, this origami figure continued charging even while blocking the azure dragon's Wind and Thunder Claws before striking. Hence, I speculate that, in fact, Su Ping's origami figure could also take action during the charging phase.
From this, it's not unreasonable to say that Su Ping was hiding his true abilities!"
As the vice-president of the Mechanical Beast Association and the trusted deputy of the Mad Saint, Zhang Lan indeed had the skills to back up his words.
The keen observer's insight was indeed accurate. On the stage, the rapid editing and reverse playback footage confirmed Zhang Lan's statement.
"So it's true, a breakthrough during the battle? This companion beast of Su Ping's is truly an unexpected surprise! Or rather, Su Ping himself, the beast tamer, is an unexpected legend!"
...
"Did he really break through during the fight?"
Elder Whitebrow's eyebrows furrowed, as if he hadn't anticipated the final outcome.
Beside him, Mulberry Saint spoke calmly, "Even without the breakthrough, Chen Zhan would have no chance of winning."
Lord Leng scoffed, "Elder Chen, so this is your trump card?"
Elder Whitebrow glanced at the two guys who were singing in harmony, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Can Su Ping's origami figure really accumulate power during the fight? If so, then..."
The others could understand what Elder Whitebrow was implying, even though he didn't finish his sentence.
Doesn't that mean it's invincible?
Both of them were at the peak of the commander level, and outsiders would weaken with each blow, but this beast became stronger with each blow. Moreover, it wasn't just a simple 1+1 increase in strength, but a terrifying 1x2 and then continued to double, multiplying in power!
Could there be such a rapid increase in power?
Elder Feng stroked his white beard, "Elder Chen, if not for this skill, how could it be ranked among the Hall of Fame? Even Charles personally acknowledged it!"
Elder Whitebrow exhaled, feeling a bit guilty as he avoided the resentful gazes of Sage Yun and Sage Kuang, who had also bet on Chen Zhan. He coughed lightly, then furrowed his eyebrows and turned to Mulberry Saint.
"That's not right, Mulberry. With the strength of Su Ping's origami figure, how could you bet on Ye Zou?"
Mulberry Saint replied, "I bet on Ye Zou precisely because I knew Su Ping's origami figure had this strength!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room exchanged glances, but the next moment, the fight between Ye Zou and Chen Zhan began, leaving no room for doubt.
Among those present, except for Feather Saint who had already left, the happiest and most relieved was Sage Meng Yao.
This Su Ping indeed had the skills, and he was right to believe in him! He would invite him to Jianghai for a celebration!
The group chatted casually, even including Sage Yuan himself, seemed unconcerned about the severed Azure Dragon and the pale-faced Chen Zhan on the field.
In fact, there was no need to worry.
Even though it was undoubtedly a fatal injury in the eyes of many ordinary people.
However, on such a stage, how could there not have been casualties before?
After all, those present were the top talents from various nations. If there were injuries or even casualties on the stage, it would be a significant loss.
Therefore, even Feather Saint didn't rush to intervene. When the referee saw the Azure Dragon's life force rapidly weakening, he immediately sent a companion beast to rush forward.
A time-based companion beast, the Immortal Tree.
A monarch-level companion beast with imperial potential and peak-level time abilities.
The leader of the referee group was clearly no ordinary person.
The branches of the Immortal Tree extended.
The body of the Azure Dragon, severed by a sword, seemed to be frozen in place.
Then, the branches turned from lush green to withered, and the originally severed Azure Dragon seemed to flow backward in time, even the severed marks disappearing, and its body reassembled.
Although it was evident that the beast's life force had weakened to a thin state, there was no doubt that the danger to its life was gone.
However, Chen Zhan's face remained grim.
He knew that the referee had intervened, and it was a direct healing intervention. Combined with the near-collapse in the soul contract, it all indicated that without external interference, his Azure Dome would have undoubtedly perished under that sword.
Therefore, the referee's intervention represented the outcome and result of the beast battle.
Indeed, it was true.
"The final battle, Su Ping versus Chen Zhan. Su Ping wins and gains a point! In fifteen minutes, the second battle will commence, with Chen Zhan facing Ye Zou. Stay tuned!"
The transformed stage vanished, and Su Ping exhaled, recalling the exhausted Xiao Qing, who had displayed 'Proud and Arrogant' and 'High Rank Solitude', along with the significantly depleted Qian Yi, into his beast taming space.
Following Chen Zhan, they entered a medical room enveloped in a sphere of holy light summoned by Feather Saint.
Bathing in the holy light, not only Su Ping but also his companion beast, connected through the soul contract, recovered all their lost strength and healed all injuries.
Such treatment was truly heaven-defying.
Title: Saint Dragon Legend
Chen Zhan's expression gradually returned to normal as he turned to look at Su Ping by his side.
"Breeder Su, I have to admit, you're truly remarkable for your age and abilities!"
Seeing Chen Zhan's thumbs-up, Su Ping smiled. It was his unwavering dedication, determination, and resilience that led to his beast taming prowess and breeding achievements at such a young age.
So, facing Chen Zhan, Su Ping paused before speaking:
"Go for it! Defeat that annoying guy! If you beat him in the next round, I'll help you breed a skill for your companion beast!"
Su Ping's promise surprised Chen Zhan, who then became excited. This was a rare opportunity:
"Really?"
Su Ping patted his chest.
He wanted to see what tricks Ye Zou, that sly guy, had up his sleeve.
As they left the medical room, Su Ping saw Ye Zou, as expected, on the battle stage, slowly recovering after his previous fight.
He claimed to be looking for the feeling of battle.
But who knew what he was really up to.
If Chen Zhan could defeat him...
Suddenly, Su Ping had a chilling thought. What if Chen Zhan defeated Ye Zhou, and then Ye Zhou defeated him, and then he defeated Chen Zhan?
Who would be ranked where?
But...
It was hard to say.
So he nodded in confirmation:
"Of course!"
"Alright, I'll give it my all for Breeder Su's skill breeding!"
The holy light faded, and Chen Zhan and Su Ping exchanged glances before leaving the medical room, Chen Zhan filled with fighting spirit.
Su Ping, unconcerned with these thoughts, entered the beast taming space.
Ignoring Qian Yi, who was still standing with his hands on his hips, Su Ping comforted Xiao Qing, whose aura had slightly diminished, and then turned his attention to Xiao Huomiao, whom he had been neglecting recently.
After consuming two Flame Sovereign Spirit Beasts, Xiao Huomiao's body had changed, but it had only grown from the size of a hair strand to that of a small fingernail.
This little guy had been behaving lately, and Su Ping had not provoked him.
Although Xiao Huomiao still resisted becoming Su Ping's contract beast, he responded to Su Ping's attempts at communication.
As a result of consuming two Flame Sovereign Spirit Beasts, Xiao Huomiao had gained some of their memories, including an understanding of elemental beasts.
Chen Zhan's performance, especially the fusion of the Thunder Roar and Hurricane Elements with the Azure Dragon to form the Wind and Thunder Wings, had left a deep impression on Su Ping, opening up a new path for companion beast breeding.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Ping decided to ask:
"Elemental fusion?"
Hearing Su Ping's question, Xiao Huomiao let out a hissing sound as he seemed to ponder the question.
After several minutes, Xiao Huomiao finally responded:
"My original body's memories... seem to have something about this. I... elemental fusion... but... I forgot... need to consume more... of the same kind..."
Su Ping was speechless.
But he nodded in agreement.
It made sense; Xiao Huomiao had barely broken through the Elite Rank, and it was unlikely that he would understand the Flame Sovereign's memories as well as the Flame Sovereign understood elemental beasts.
Thinking of this, Su Ping habitually drew a big picture:
"Alright, you rest for now. I'll help you find the rest of your kind, and it'll be soon."
"Hissss (Thank you... Su Ping... you're... a good human... if you don't want to be a companion beast...)
Receiving Xiao Huomiao's approval, Su Ping shrugged, unbothered.
But he wasn't trying to fool the little guy.
Last time, Saint Dragon had made that promise.
He would help Su Ping search for the Flame Sovereign Spirit Beasts using Dragon Nation's resources.
It was just that Su Ping had been busy with the professional assessment and hadn't asked about it yet.
With this thought, Su Ping exited the beast taming space and left the medical room, which the Feather Saint had never entered.
The rest time had passed, and the second round of the final ranking battle between Ye Zhou and Chen Zhan was about to begin.
Su Ping focused his mind, looking at the battle stage and the broadcast screen.
He wanted to see what Ye Zhou was up to.
