Chapter 418: Ye Zou's Secret Weapon: Time Rewind?
Chapter 418: Ye Zou's Secret Weapon: Time Rewind?
In the previous battle, Chen Zhan was defeated by Su Ping.
However, it must be said that this fight ignited the passion for the final showdown of the professional assessment, and the atmosphere among the audience reached its peak.
After the previous battle, no one dared to mention that Qin Xiaoxue had intentionally let Su Ping advance before.
Being able to defeat Chen Zhan is enough to prove Su Ping's true worth.
At the very beginning, who would have thought that Chen Zhan, the young dragon tamer from the capital, would surely be the champion of this professional assessment? Yet now, in the first battle, he almost completely shattered that possibility.
This left Chen Zhan feeling somewhat defeated, even in his own eyes.
But soon, facing Ye Zou, Chen Zhan took a deep breath as he slowly stepped onto the arena, with only one belief in his heart: he must win! Solely because Su Ping had once again given him a reason to win.
Being able to let this Su Ping, the renowned beast breeder, promise to help cultivate his companion beast, is no longer something that an ordinary person can experience.
Moreover, if he were to lose to Ye Zou again, wouldn't he be firmly in third place?
Third place nationwide is already impressive, but for him, a top seed, it's still a bit embarrassing.
Chen Zhan's gaze firmly locked onto Ye Zou, and the referee's familiar voice echoed from the mechanical arena:
【Random Terrain: Plains】
【Both sides, please get ready. Countdown starts now. Sixty seconds until the match begins! Fifty-nine, fifty-eight...】
Plains?
This is the most ordinary, even simplistic map, where terrain has almost no impact on beast taming battles.
It's clear that this battle will test the true strength of both sides! Chen Zhan's eyes gleamed with determination as the countdown ended.
He raised his right hand, summoning his main battle companion, Qinglong Qingqiong.
Qinglong soared in the air, majestic and awe-inspiring, as if it could shake the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, the summoned Thunder Roar Element and Hurricane Element, two companion beasts, formed an elemental storm around Qinglong, and in the blink of an eye, the air was filled with raging energy.
Such a formidable display, but Ye Zou remained unfazed.
On this vast plain, there were only knee-high grass, and from afar, one could see Chen Zhan's situation. Ye Zou summoned his three companion beasts.
No mistake, even facing Ye Zou, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.
Nianlun Tiger, Ice Cricket, and Time Hourglass, were summoned by him.
Both of them knew this would be a tough battle.
Chen Zhan was highly focused, his eyes only on his opponent and his beasts.
The soul contract's command was conveyed, and this time, he didn't dare to stand atop Qinglong's head again.
In the air, thousands of meters above the arena, Qinglong suddenly dove, charging towards Nianlun Tiger with the power of Thunder Roar Element and Hurricane Element. Thunder Roar Element's lightning crackled in the air, and Hurricane Element's fierce wind pushed forward.
Chen Zhan's beasts' offense was as fierce as ever.
The enveloping elemental power, among the three, was undoubtedly the strongest, except for Origami Figure.
"As expected, Chen Zhan launched an attack at the start of the battle, but unlike before, he didn't attack alongside Qinglong. Clearly, he's also extremely wary of Ye Zou's time pause ability!"
"That's right, at this moment, Chen Zhan remains in his original position, protected by the most agile Hurricane Element. Even if time is paused, in that brief moment, he can't be harmed."
The commentators chimed in, each taking turns to speak.
Chen Zhan's tactics were straightforward yet highly effective.
In close combat, even Qinglong Qingqiong, as a dragon, was no less formidable than any other companion beast.
And before this, Chen Zhan's Time Hourglass had never been used. At this moment, playing it safe was the best choice, after all, not everyone is like Su Ping, with the ability to face him head-on.
However, the outcome surprised everyone.
Facing the menacing Qinglong in the sky, along with the hurricane wind blades and Thunder Roar Element's attacks, Ye Zou seemed extremely calm.
He had no intention of directly engaging Chen Zhan, nor did he show any signs of countering.
The diligent Nianlun Tiger waved its sharp claws, meeting each elemental attack head-on. Although its defense was airtight, it showed no initiative to attack.
A war of attrition?
Not only the audience and Chen Zhan on the field were puzzled,
Even Su Ping couldn't quite grasp Ye Zou's intentions.
Only in the office above the arena, Sage Yuan narrowed his eyes, observing Ye Zou's three companion beasts. Time-based beasts, for someone of his level, were still rare, but not as rare as they would be for an ordinary student.
So, Sage Yuan finally asked:
"Mulberry Saint, who is this Ye Zou?"
Aside from everything else, just the Nianlun Tiger and Ice Cricket, being able to hold their own against Qinglong without the Wind Domain and Wind and Thunder Wings, was already an impressive feat.
Mulberry Saint spoke calmly, "No one knows, this child is an orphan."
"Impossible!"
Elder Whitebrow immediately frowned in denial. An orphan from a family with three time-based Companion Beasts? It seemed too far-fetched, but in his opinion, this world was never fair.
Even Su Ping, who rose from the grassroots with his genius talent, had a part of his success attributed to the Ghost Sage's backing, allowing him to fully utilize his talent, aside from his exceptional breeding talent.
The others remained silent, and even Lord Leng seemed to disagree with this simple explanation.
Mulberry Saint continued, "Indeed, this child has excellent luck and talent. Once, he happened to encounter a secret realm that appeared in the wild, and it was a heritage-type secret realm. From then on, his rise was unstoppable."
Upon hearing this, Elder Whitebrow nodded in understanding.
No wonder, then.
Secret realms, especially heritage secret realms, were considered once-in-a-lifetime opportunities on Blue Star.
Especially for low-level Beast Tamers without significant resources, such opportunities were invaluable.
Moreover, in terms of control over this aspect, although the Dragon Nation had the Heaven Inspectorate, it wasn't strictly prohibited.
Numerous civilian Beast Tamers used this as a springboard to reach the pinnacle of their lives.
It was a matter of personal destiny.
"What kind of person's secret realm heritage? With such a background, to reach this point, it's quite impressive, isn't it?"
Even the nearby Sage Cloud was curious and asked.
Mulberry Saint didn't hide anything:
"During the Wu Dynasty, Jiang Family's Jiang Xuanji."
This name made those with a general knowledge of history pause slightly, clearly unaware of who this big shot was.
But soon, Elder Feng stroked his white beard and explained:
"The Wu Dynasty was known for its most mysterious ancient family, the Jiang Family, and its eccentric head who supposedly spent his life researching time reversal, hoping to bring his beloved back to life."
Obviously, everyone was still clueless about this name.
However, it must be said that this statement shocked many.
The taboo of time-based skills lay in time reversal.
Countless people had never achieved this.
How many outstanding time-based Beast Tamers had tried to carve a path with this skill?
Unfortunately, over the years, not only had no one succeeded, but even the slightest progress in this area had never been heard of.
So, Sage Cloud asked curiously:
"Did Jiang Xuanji succeed?"
Mulberry Saint shook his head, seemingly saying he didn't, but also implying he didn't know.
However, it must be said that with this connection, Ye Zou's time-based Companion Beasts, which had always been unremarkable, now seemed shrouded in mystery.
In everyone's opinion, including Su Ping's, this would undoubtedly be an exceptionally intense battle.
After all, Su Ping and Chen Zhan's previous battle had already set the bar high.
The intensity of this top-three ranking battle seemed to be as it should be.
Hence, the battle between Chen Zhan and Ye Zou was highly anticipated by everyone.
However, to their surprise, their expectations were unmet.
Thirty minutes passed.
The battle showed little change.
The two Companion Beasts, one attacking and the other defending, seemed to clash fiercely, but it was more like a graceful dance than a fierce battle.
So, after more than ten minutes of combat, Chen Zhan couldn't hold back any longer.
Even in an energy-consuming battle, it shouldn't be fought like this!
Thus, the Wind Domain was activated.
However, it seemed that the Ring Tiger and Ice Cricket sensed the activation of the Wind Domain and also activated a skill.
Or perhaps, in the previous battles, these unique time-based Companion Beasts had already used such skills.
It was just too subtle to notice.
But when faced with the Wind Domain, a large-scale skill attack, everyone saw the true nature of these beasts.
The endless gale of the Wind Domain seemed to directly weaken the Ring Tiger and Ice Cricket within its range.
The terrifying gale turned into harmless breezes.
The Ring Tiger, with its sturdy physique, could withstand the energy attacks and even the physical combat with the Azure Dragon, showing no signs of pressure.
So, even with the activation of the Wind Domain, the battle remained unchanged.
It was still a back-and-forth exchange.
The only difference was that instead of the Thunder Roar and Azure Dragon's energy attacks, it was now the Wind Domain.
At most, both sides' energy consumption might increase, but as of now, neither showed signs of depleting their energy.
Hence, the result remained the same.
This battle lasted for half an hour, leaving the audience, who had just witnessed a day of intense combat, yawning in their seats.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back their complaints any longer:
"Are these two going to keep fighting until tomorrow morning?"
If this battle continued like this, it would undoubtedly be a huge letdown.
As one of the combatants, Chen Zhan certainly didn't want to see this outcome.
He had to make a change!
Of course, the other main reason for making a change was also because the energy consumption of this super-tier domain skill, Wind Domain, was indeed too high.
He originally thought that Ye Zou's energy consumption wouldn't be small either, but looking at it now, this guy might have already prepared for an energy-draining battle.
They couldn't continue like this any longer!
So, Ye Zou made the change!
Wind and Thunder Wings!
The familiar two elemental spirits merged once again.
The Azure Dragon, which formed the Wind and Thunder Wings, finally entered its complete state at this moment!
"Roar!"
The crisp and spirited dragon's roar made many of the drowsy spectators suddenly perk up.
They looked towards their savior!
At this moment, regardless of the outcome of this beast taming duel, in their hearts, Chen Zhan had already won!
Ye Zou's cockroach shell was about to be shattered by Chen Zhan's relentless assault!
The Wind and Thunder Wings, a fusion of the two powerful elemental spirits, was Chen Zhan's trump card. As the skill's caster, he exerted his full strength, causing the Azure Dragon's mobility to be hindered.
This strike landed solidly.
Boom!
Finally, the stubborn defense of the Ring Tiger seemed to be shattered.
This damn Ring Tiger seemed to be injured at last!
Chen Zhan seized the opportunity. Through the soul contract, he commanded the Azure Dragon to launch a series of fierce attacks, causing the Ring Tiger's body to be covered in ripples.
Despite the Azure Dragon sustaining some injuries in the process, the Ring Tiger's life force was already weak, so these injuries were insignificant.
Chen Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and once again gave the Azure Dragon its final command, just like before.
He ordered the Azure Dragon to finish off the Ring Tiger, which seemed to be the only combat beast and opponent of Ye Zou.
This made everyone, including Su Ping, stand up in surprise. Ye Zou finally held up the Time Hourglass, which he had never used before.
With a slight smile, facing Chen Zhan in the sky, he said with a smirk, "Time Rewind!"
The Time Hourglass, which he had picked up, was flipped, and the sand that had already flowed down was now flowing upwards, continuing its flow.
The next second.
The injured Ring Tiger, covered in scars, suddenly had its wounds disappear, and its weak life force returned to its peak.
The Azure Dragon, however, showed not even a hint of change.
The Wind Domain, Wind and Thunder Wings, and this intense thirty-minute battle, all seemed to be in vain due to Ye Zou's casual four words.
Su Ping gasped in shock.
So, this guy also mastered such an overpowered super-tier skill!
And it was such an incredible, game-breaking super-tier skill!
