Chapter 419: The Final Battle! Time Projection!
Chapter 419: The Final Battle! Time Projection!
Defeat.
No one would have expected that at the last moment, Ye Zhou still had such a hidden trump card.
Time Rewind.
Although it was far from being comparable to the concept of time-reversal skills like Time Rewind, which allowed one to return to the past as if reborn, the effect of this skill in battle was also mind-boggling.
It could restore all of one's forces to their peak state, as recorded in their memory.
This was almost equivalent to an extra life, and most importantly, this skill was extremely difficult to counter!
Even after Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon and Zhan'er's power were restored, as long as they didn't defeat the Ringed Tiger and Frost Cicada combination too quickly, Ye Zhou, holding the Time Sandglass, could directly restore his pets to their peak condition.
Indeed, after this, Chen Zhan tried again.
But each time, just as he was about to defeat the Ringed Tiger and eliminate the opponent's main battle pet, the Time Sandglass would once again activate the Time Rewind ability.
This ability seemed to have no cost for the Time Sandglass, a pet of the equipment class. As long as the sand in the hourglass flowed out completely, it could be used again.
And Chen Zhan wasn't a fool; after failing to defeat the Ringed Tiger the second time, he shifted his target and mainly focused on attacking Ye Zhou, the beastmaster.
However, it was still useless.
Ye Zhou's talent was called Time Wander.
It seemed similar to Element Fusion, but it was even more incredible than Element Fusion. It was a state that was difficult to harm directly through conventional means.
And if one wanted to break through the defense, the Ringed Tiger wasn't just there to be defeated easily.
So, in the end, this second battle lasted for nearly an hour, and finally, amidst the ups and downs, the curtain fell.
The first thirty minutes were boring and dull. After the Windstorm Wings were formed, the shocking effect of Time Rewind, and Ye Zhou's calmness in the face of the vicious and even slightly insane Azure Dragon, made everyone truly realize the terrifying strength of this previously low-key beastmaster from Magic Capital Academy.
The white-browed elder, the dean of the Imperial Capital, and the Yuan Sage of the Chen family, had a rather unpleasant expression.
His previous confidence and even his willingness to initiate a bet had not anticipated that his grandson would lose two battles in a row, which was equivalent to directly securing third place.
Especially with the taunting gaze from Lord Cold beside him, the Yuan Sage's face turned even gloomier.
However, as a veteran saint, the Yuan Sage could afford to lose:
"Time Rewind? It seems that in the history of Blue Star, the breeding masters of various countries have rarely possessed this skill, right?"
Elder Wind nodded:
"Time-related advanced skills are too rare; even a Saint Spirit might not witness it once in their lifetime. This young man named Ye Zhou is truly remarkable!
It seems that Jiang Xuanji, who lived over a thousand years ago, indeed had some research results."
However, the Yuan Sage was also somewhat unwilling to accept this:
"The time for Zhan'er's contract with the Azure Dragon was indeed too short, and the cultivation time was also a bit rushed..."
Lord Cold chuckled:
"Su Ping has only awakened for a little over a year, hasn't he?"
The Yuan Sage's face turned slightly red. After all, no matter who he compared himself to, he couldn't compete with that young man.
But in the end, he was an old fox. After a pause, he said:
"However, looking at this situation, even with Time Rewind, Ye Zhou should not be Su Ping's match, right?"
Everyone nodded, and Elder Ray, who had been unable to contain his excitement, eagerly nodded:
"From what we've seen so far, Time Rewind is indeed powerful, but it's mainly used in attrition battles. However, the offensive power of Su Ping's Origami Man is even more ferocious than the Azure Dragon with Windstorm Wings."
The experienced people in the room had already understood the situation after this battle.
But Sage Sang just smiled:
"Let's wait and see."
Everyone was slightly startled by Sage Sang's mysterious expression.
Even at this moment, Sage Sang remained enigmatic.
Was Ye Zhou still holding another trump card? Even the originally low-key Mad Saint, who had been watching the video on his tablet, closed it and curiously looked at the outside scene through his mechanical eye.
Chen Zhan's defeat was something no one had expected.
However, this also made the upcoming final battle even more suspenseful.
The reason was simple: whoever won this final battle would be the champion of the Youth Beastmaster Qualification Tournament.
Among the younger generation, they would be the strongest beastmaster below the Monarch rank.
They represented an unimaginable bright future and would be the 'protagonist' of the Dragon Kingdom for the next few decades.
Compared to Ye Zhou, who had been extremely low-key but had occupied the top spot at Magic Capital Academy for a long time,
Without a doubt, Su Ping's name had become synonymous with legend.
From his rise to fame as a genius trainer in the training tournament, to the doubts and questions surrounding his alleged backdoor behavior before the professional examination.
Then, during the provincial examination, he stunned everyone by single-handedly taking on hundreds, even thousands of pets.
The global release of his Grand Hall Rank Advanced Skill, as well as the arrival of a Saint from across the ocean, sparked widespread discussion.
Finally, he arrived at the Imperial Capital, and under the gaze of countless people, he stepped onto the final stage at the youngest age, under twenty.
If this wasn't a legendary journey, then what was?
In just a fifteen-minute break, the news had spread like wildfire, exploding the entire Dragon Kingdom's internet.
Even at this late hour, 10 pm, when most people were resting, the excitement and fervor showed no signs of abating.
As Su Ping took his first step, accompanied by the sound of Yu Lan's voice and the locking of the spotlight, his name echoed throughout the venue like a tsunami.
The deafening cheers, the countless lights shining down, and the thousands of spectators in the stands, all chanting his name - Su Ping let out a deep breath.
The feeling of being the center of attention was indeed exhilarating.
Although it was a bit worrisome to think that he might be treated like a celebrity in the future, this wasn't the time to dwell on that.
Su Ping walked slowly towards the stage, looking over at Ye Zhou, who had also arrived.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, but didn't rush to climb the stairs.
Ye Zhou smiled faintly: "Su Ping, I never thought it would be you and me in the end. I guess I didn't misjudge you!"
Su Ping also smiled: "Don't forget, you promised to work for me at the Heart of Ten Thousand Souls if you lose. It just so happens that I have a project that might interest you, aside from the Bloodline Reversion."
Ye Zhou's eyebrows rose: "Oh? You can rest assured that if I lose, I'll definitely go. But victory will still be mine!"
Su Ping sneered: "Just relying on Time Rewind? That's not enough!"
Ye Zhou's expression turned serious: "Let's just say I'm taking advantage of your kindness. Su Ping, you will definitely lose this battle, but don't worry, when it's time to choose the dragon pet, I'll give you priority!"
Su Ping's eyes narrowed: "Don't act like you've already won!"
Ye Zhou didn't say anything else, just smiled and stepped forward, climbing the stairs.
Su Ping followed suit, and the two figures appeared on either side of the stage, far apart.
"The final battle, with everyone's attention!"
"The contestant from Jianghai Province, Su Ping, and the one from the Magic Capital Academy, Ye Zhou, have surpassed millions of challengers to reach this final stage!"
"Tonight, one of them will become the strongest Beast Master under the Sovereign Rank!"
"Will it be the legendary Su Ping, or Ye Zhou, who controls time? The suspense will soon be revealed!"
The host, Yu Lan's voice, brought the cheers to a fever pitch.
But in an instant, the energy shield on the stage blocked out all external noise.
The only sound left was the mechanical voice, and the entire stage was silent.
The countless people watching the live broadcast seemed to have their hearts lifted.
Especially those who knew Su Ping, like the people from the Heart of Ten Thousand Souls.
The students from Linzhou No.6 High School, who had lived with Su Ping for years, were all watching the live broadcast, seeing the figure they once knew standing at the center of attention.
The Rong family, including the current head, Rong Bao, Su Ping's uncle Rong Xia, aunt Rong Qiu, and cousins Rong Meng, Rong Zhu, and Rong Chan, were all nervously watching the TV.
Among them, Rong Meng was actually eligible to participate in this year's youth examination.
But Su Ping had given his older cousin a Qing Lei Zhu Wei, which had only been contracted and hatched a few months ago, and was still at the ordinary peak level.
He didn't have Su Ping's confidence, and unlike the other contestants, he didn't dare to participate in the professional examination with just two pets.
So, he was watching the TV with bated breath.
However, the Rong family, or rather, anyone, had never thought that their grandson would make it this far.
If previously, the Rong family's numerous branches had some reservations about Su Ping due to the Five Saints' Egg, now no one dared to have such thoughts.
The Rong family's status could be described as stable as Mount Tai.
"Can my brother-in-law defeat that guy?"
Rong Chan's face, slightly baby-faced, clenched her tiny fists as she glared at Ye Zhou, who was also broadcasting the live feed.
At this moment, no one dared to speak, not even the Snake Ancestor who was peeking his head out, muttering, 'These youngsters nowadays are really off the charts,' but not daring to make any definitive statements.
Rong Bao, on the other hand, glanced at his phone:
"This An Yong, what are they doing in the Legion? My son is in such a big news, and they don't even know about it? I haven't been able to get through on the phone these past few days."
As he finished speaking, the phone suddenly rang, causing Rong Bao to pause and quickly lower his head. Indeed, it was Su An Yong, who had been missing for almost a month, and he hurriedly answered the call:
"An Yong, you finally picked up! Where have you been all this time?"
Su An Yong's voice came through the phone:
"Don't mention it, there's some stuff going on in the Legion, in a secret realm, haha. This time, we got some good stuff, and later, that little brat will be drooling. It's just that there's no way to communicate with the outside world, what's the matter with you, all flustered and anxious?"
Rong Bao shook his head helplessly, but he didn't want to inquire too much about the Legion's affairs, and quickly said:
"Alright, you hurry up and watch the live stream. Ping is about to appear in the professional assessment."
"What? The professional assessment has already started? No wonder that little brat didn't answer my call."
Su An Yong, who was grumbling on the phone, caused Rong Bao to frown.
This son-in-law may seem unreliable, but he shouldn't be as unreliable as he seems.
What has he been up to all this time?
Such big news, and he doesn't even know about it?
However, Rong Bao didn't have the mind to pay attention, instead, he turned his gaze towards the screen.
On the television, the familiar mechanical prompt sound appeared, indicating the final battle that would determine the rankings was about to begin:
【Random Terrain: Forbidden Summit】
【Both sides, please prepare. The match will start in sixty seconds! Fifty-nine, fifty-eight...】
Forbidden Summit?
In an instant, the entire arena became somewhat dim, and under the moonlight shining in the sky, Su Ping and Ye Zhou's platforms gradually rose, making their silhouettes appear somewhat thin.
"Forbidden Summit?"
Su An Yong's voice continued through the phone:
"You've already reached the Imperial Capital? This kid has advanced in the provincial exams? Damn, this arena setup is really impressive."
No one paid attention to Su An Yong on the phone.
However, soon enough, another exclamation was heard:
"What the hell? The final battle?"
Rong Bao was startled.
Meanwhile, the countdown finally ended.
In this final battle, the terrain of the arena no longer affected either side.
The summoning light shone.
Su Ping's two companion beasts and Ye Zhou's three companion beasts appeared before them.
Under the moonlight, they were surrounded by twinkling energy lights.
Qian Yi's body was encircled by the Five Elements light.
Xiao Qing's countless clones emerged.
In this final battle, there was nothing left to hide.
Only by displaying their full strength would it be correct.
Obviously, it wasn't just him who thought so, Ye Zhou also had the same idea.
Rarely, Ye Zhou rode on the Ringed Tiger, and in just a dozen seconds, he reached a hundred meters away from Su Ping, staring at Su Ping's companion beasts, especially the origami figure.
A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he suddenly threw out the Time Sandglass, slamming it onto the ground.
Crack!
The shattered Time Sandglass, its fragments sparkling with a crisp sound.
No one understood what this meant.
A companion beast in the form of a tool shouldn't be this fragile, right? But soon, they found the answer.
Within the Time Sandglass, diamond-like sand grains seemed to flow like water, and in that water, a figure slowly emerged.
That figure, holding a longsword, had an eerie physique, and the longswords on his body seemed to be part of him.
Then, in the next moment, a nearly identical Qian Yi appeared within the sand grains.
"Su Ping, this is my trump card, Time Projection!"
Ye Zhou's voice not only silenced Su Ping but also caught everyone's attention.
For a moment, no one could snap out of their daze.
"Time Projection contains all the abilities your companion beasts have displayed in their timeline, and at the same time, it possesses the Time Sandglass's time rewind ability!
So, Su Ping, your defeat is certain!"
