Chapter 419: The Final Battle! Time Projection!
Chapter 419: The Final Battle! Time Projection!
Defeat.
No one could have imagined that at the final hurdle, Ye Zou still had such a trump card hidden.
Time Rewind.
Although it is far from comparable to the concept of rebirth skills like Time Reverse, the heaven-defying effect in battle is also beyond comprehension.
It allows all existing allies to restore to their peak state as recorded.
This is almost equivalent to an extra life, and most importantly, this skill is difficult to counter!
Even after recovery, Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon still has the strength for one more battle, but as long as it's not a brief defeat of that Ring Tiger and the combination of Ice Cricket, Ye Zou, holding the Time Hourglass, can restore the companion beast to its peak.
Yes, after that, Chen Zhan tried again.
However, it was still useless.
Ye Zou's talent is called Time Wander.
This is a seemingly element-like ability, but it seems even more heaven-defying than element transformation, allowing him to enter a bizarre state.
It's difficult to directly harm him.
And to break through the defense line, Ring Tiger is not just there for show.
So, in the end, this second battle that lasted for almost an hour finally came to a close after such ups and downs.
The dull and tedious first thirty minutes, the formation of Wind and Thunder Wings, the shock of Time Rewind, and Ye Zou's calmness when facing the fierce and somewhat crazy Azure Dragon—all these revealed the true strength of the companion beast of the previously low-key number one from Demon Capital Academy.
The Elder Whitebrow, the Imperial Capital's Dean, and Chen Zhan's Elder Yuan, all had grim expressions.
The once confident and assertive Elder Yuan, who even initiated the bet, never expected his grandson to lose two consecutive battles, effectively locking in the third-place position.
Especially with the mocking gaze from Lord Leng, Elder Yuan's expression turned even gloomier:
"Time Rewind? It seems that throughout Blue Star's history, in all the countries' beast taming history, this skill rarely appeared, right?"
Elder Feng nodded:
"Super-tier time skills are too rare. Even Divine Spirit Breeders might not see it once in their lifetime. This little guy named Ye Zou is truly remarkable!
It seems that Jiang Xuanji, from over a thousand years ago, did have some research results."
However, Elder Yuan was still somewhat dissatisfied:
"Zhan'er and the Azure Dragon's bond is too short, and the cultivation time was also insufficient..."
Lord Leng sneered:
"Su Ping has only been awakened for over a year, right?"
Elder Yuan's face slightly reddened. In the end, he couldn't compare with that young genius.
But after all, he was an old fox. After a pause, he spoke:
"However, from the current situation, even with Time Rewind, Ye Zou should not be Su Ping's match, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Elder Ray, who had been unable to contain his excitement from the start, eagerly nodded:
"Let's see then."
Seeing Elder Ray's mysterious demeanor, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Even at this point, Elder Ray still remained enigmatic.
This meant that Ye Zou from Demon Capital still had hidden cards. Even the usually head-down, video-watching Sage Kuang, closed his tablet and curiously looked towards the mechanical beast with his mechanical beast eyes.
Chen Zhan's defeat surprised everyone.
But this also added more suspense to the upcoming final battle.
The reason was simple. Whoever won this last battle would be the winner of this Youth Beastmaster Assessment Tournament and the number one Beastmaster among the young generation.
Representing an immense future and the role of 'protagonist' in Dragon Nation for the next few decades.
Compared to the low-key but top-ranked Ye Zou from Demon Capital Academy.
Without a doubt, Su Ping's name is synonymous with legend. From the renowned genius breeder who rose to fame in the breeding competitions, to the suspicions and questions surrounding his alleged backdoor entry during the provincial professional assessment, Su Ping has been a constant source of intrigue.
The provincial assessment itself was a spectacle, with Su Ping single-handedly taking on hundreds, if not thousands, of companion beasts, leaving everyone in awe. Then came the global-scale super-tier skill cultivation release event, which was disrupted by the appearance of a Saint from across the ocean, sparking endless discussions.
And now, in the Imperial Capital, under the countless spotlights, Su Ping, not yet twenty years old and the youngest participant, has finally reached the ultimate stage of the competition.
Who else but Su Ping could have walked such a legendary path?
Even during this fifteen-minute break, the overwhelming flood of news headlines has set the entire Dragon Nation's internet ablaze. Despite the late hour, ten o'clock in the evening, when most people are already resting, the excitement and fervor continue to surge.
In just fifteen minutes, as Su Ping takes his first steps and Liu Xu speaks, the spotlight shines upon him, and his name echoes throughout the entire arena like a thunderous wave.
The deafening cheers, the dazzling lights, and the thousands of spectators in the stands, all shouting his name, all focused on him—Su Ping takes a deep breath.
Being the center of attention feels incredible.
However, what slightly concerns Su Ping is the thought that if he were to receive the same treatment as those popular celebrities, it might drive him crazy.
But this is not the time to dwell on such thoughts.
As Su Ping slowly steps forward and approaches the stage, he glances at Ye Zou, who has also arrived.
Both men share a knowing look, understanding the gravity of the moment without needing to rush onto the teleportation platform.
Ye Zou smiles and says, "Su Ping, I never imagined that in the end, it would be you and me here. Indeed, I didn't misjudge you!"
Su Ping smiles in response, "Don't forget what you promised me. If I lose, you'll come to work for me at the Heart of All Spirits. Besides bloodline regression, I think you'll be very interested in a project I have in mind."
Ye Zou raises his eyebrows, "Oh? Don't worry, if that's the case, I'll definitely go. But victory will be mine!"
"With just your time regression skill? That's not enough!"
Ye Zou's expression turns slightly serious, "Consider it my way of repaying the favor. Su Ping, this battle is yours to lose, but when it's time to choose the dragon beast, I can give you the priority choice!"
Su Ping's eyes narrow slightly, "Don't act as if you've already won!"
Ye Zou doesn't say anything further, offering a final smile before taking the first step onto the platform.
Su Ping follows suit, and both men appear on opposite sides of the arena, a significant distance apart.
"The final battle, the focus of all eyes!"
"Introducing the participants, Su Ping from Jianghai Province and Ye Zou from the Demon Capital's Advanced Beastmaster Academy. They have overcome millions of challengers to reach this ultimate stage!"
"Tonight, one of them will emerge as the strongest Beastmaster below the Monarch rank among the countless powerful participants!"
"Will it be the legendary Su Ping or Ye Zou, the master of time? The suspense is about to be revealed!"
Host Liu Xu's voice sends the audience's excitement to its peak.
But in just an instant, the entire arena falls silent, with not a sound from the outside world reaching the platform.
The energy shield surrounding the arena seals off the platform from the outside world, leaving only the mechanical prompts audible.
The entire arena falls silent, and the countless viewers watching the live broadcast feel their hearts race.
Especially among them are those who know Su Ping, those who have met Su Ping, and those who are familiar with Su Ping.
Needless to say, the entire student body of Linzhou No. 6 Middle School is watching the live broadcast, witnessing the figure they once shared years of their lives with, now standing at the center of attention, basking in the glory and cheers of thousands.
The Rong family, including the current head, Rong Bao, Su Ping's uncle Rong Xia, aunt Rong Qiu, and cousins Rong Mang, Rong Zhu, and Rong Chan, are all nervously seated in front of the television.
Among them, Rong Mang was actually eligible to participate in this Youth Assessment.
However, Su Ping had given him a Green Thunder Bamboo Tail Scorpion, and Rong Mang had only recently contracted it, currently possessing only the strength of an ordinary peak-level beast.
He didn't have Su Ping's confidence and dared to participate in the assessment with just two companion beasts.
So, at this moment, he sits in front of the television, eagerly watching.
However, neither he nor the entire Rong family could have imagined that their nephew would reach this stage.
If before, the numerous branches of the Rong family had some complaints about Su Ping due to the Five Saints' Eggs incident, no one dares to have such thoughts now.
The Rong Bao lineage's status could be described as solid as Mount Tai.
"Can my cousin defeat that guy?"
Rong Chan, with a slightly babyish face, clenched her tiny fists and glared at Ye Zhou, who was also live-streaming the event.
At this moment, no one dared to speak, not even the Snake Ancestor who was peering in, who could only exclaim, 'These young people are really off the charts!' without daring to make any predictions.
It was Rong Bao who looked at his phone and said, "This Su An Yong, what's going on with the Legion? How can they be unaware of such a big issue involving my son? I haven't gotten through to them in days."
As he finished speaking, the phone rang, causing Rong Bao to pause. He quickly lowered his head and indeed, it was Su An Yong, who had been out of reach for nearly a month. Rong Bao hurriedly answered the call:
"Su An Yong, you finally picked up! Where have you been all this time?"
On the other end, Su An Yong's voice came through:
"Don't mention it. I've been dealing with some Legion matters in a secret realm. Hey, we got some good stuff this time. Later, I'll make that rabbit kid drool. It's just that we can't communicate with the outside world, so what's the rush?"
Rong Bao shook his head helplessly. Although he didn't want to ask too much about the Legion, he quickly said:
"Alright, hurry up and watch the live stream. Ping is about to take the stage for the professional assessment."
"What? The professional assessment has already started? No wonder that rabbit kid didn't answer my calls."
Hearing Su An Yong's grumbling, Rong Bao was a bit suspicious.
Although this son-in-law seemed unreliable, he shouldn't be that unreliable.
What has he been up to all this time?
How could he be unaware of such a big issue?
However, Rong Bao didn't have time to dwell on it and instead turned his attention to the screen.
Within the screen, the familiar mechanical prompt appeared, indicating the final battle that would determine the rankings:
Terrain: Forbidden Apex
Both sides, please prepare. Countdown begins: 60 seconds... 59, 58...
Forbidden Apex?
In an instant, the entire arena became somewhat dim, and under the moonlight, the platform beneath Su Ping and Ye Zhou slowly rose, transforming into a series of palace rooftops.
Under the grand moonlight, the two figures appeared somewhat thin.
"Forbidden Apex?"
Su An Yong's voice continued from the phone:
"I've already reached the Imperial Capital, and this kid has advanced in the provincial assessment. Damn, this arena is really something to behold."
No one paid attention to Su An Yong's voice on the phone.
However, soon, another exclamation was heard:
"What the hell? The final battle?"
Rong Bao couldn't take it anymore and directly hung up the phone.
At the same time, the countdown ended.
In this final battle, the arena's terrain no longer affected the combatants.
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 flickering energy.
Qian Yi's body was encircled by the five elements' light.
Xiao Qing's numerous clones emerged.
In this final battle, all their strengths were on full display.
It was clear that not only Rong Bao but also Ye Zhou had the same idea.
Rarely, Ye Zhou mounted the Ring Tiger and in just a few seconds, reached a hundred feet away from Su Ping, gazing at Su Ping's companion beasts, especially the origami figure.
A mysterious smile played on Ye Zhou's lips.
Then, in full view of everyone, he made a move that no one could have anticipated.
He abruptly tossed the Time Hourglass, causing it to smash into the ground with a crisp crack.
All were puzzled by this action.
Companion beasts, especially tool-type ones, shouldn't be this fragile, right? But soon, they understood.
Within the Time Hourglass, the sand grains resembled diamonds, and as if by magic, they began to flow like a stream.
From this stream, a figure emerged, holding a long sword, its body distorted with multiple long swords piercing it.
It was Qian Yi's phantom form.
And in the next moment, a nearly identical Qian Yi appeared within the sand's arrangement.
"Su Ping, this is my trump card, the Time Projection!"
Ye Zhou's voice not only silenced Su Ping but also resonated with everyone listening.
For a moment, they were all left speechless.
"Time Projection possesses the full power your companion beast exhibits in its timeline, along with the time-reversal ability of the Time Hourglass!
Therefore, Su Ping, your defeat is certain!"
