Chapter 420: A Sure Loss? The Breakthrough of Out-of-Body Mastery!
"What the heck? There's a skill like this? This Ye Zou is so cunning, why didn't he use it earlier?"
"Unfair advantage! Using a pet beast he cultivated himself to fight against his own?"
"It's just a skill of his pet beast, what's there to say? Let's see if Su Ping can break through this!"
The shattered Time Hourglass, as expected, sparked intense debates among the audience.
"What's this?"
At this moment, not only the audience but also the eight Saint-level Beastmasters in the broadcasting room above were startled. They all stared at the Time Projection formed by the crystal dust, which was a projection of Ye Zou's past battles in the timeline.
And Ye Zou's words.
To be able to showcase all the abilities experienced in the timeline?
And the time rewind ability of the Time Hourglass itself.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the Mulberry Saint, who smiled slightly and said:
"That's right, Ye Zou mentioned this to me before."
Lord Leng's eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"Isn't this against the rules? Didn't Master Bai clearly state that skills shouldn't be accumulated and released before the ranking battle? This Time Projection should be Ye Zou using the Time Hourglass to project Su Ping's previous battles, right?"
Mulberry Saint laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. Ye Zou's skill isn't considered an accumulation skill. From an energy perspective, there's no problem with it. Moreover, Su Ping's Origami Man also has the same number of contracts."
"Besides, this also happens to suit Gui Sheng's intentions, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Leng was slightly taken aback, but after careful thought, it seemed to be the case.
So, he didn't say anything more.
The Ray Saint beside him felt a bit disappointed. He had bet his family's fortune on Su Ping, but he didn't mind losing a single Earthbound Spirit. However, he had just recently advanced to the Saint Spirit level, and his family was much smaller compared to Gui Sheng's. Facing Mulberry Saint, Ray Saint couldn't say much more.
On the other hand, Sage Yuan sighed helplessly:
"So, this kid has such a skill. But, I've never seen this skill before. It seems like this little guy developed it himself?"
"It looks powerful, but it's not as strong as it seems! At most, it can be considered a functional super-tier skill."
Mulberry Saint explained, "First, the current Time Projection can only project pet beasts of the same level or lower. Higher-level beasts cannot be replicated.
Secondly, the summoned projection requires multiple visits to the corresponding pet beast's location to reflect fragments of time and sense the beast's combat in the timeline.
Finally, this Time Projection, formed with great difficulty, can only be used once in combat. Unless it maintains this form continuously, it won't be able to change again. It's quite restrictive."
Everyone nodded, including the surprised Wind Elder.
After Mulberry Saint's explanation, the value of the Time Projection decreased significantly.
One could even say it became somewhat redundant.
On the battlefield, in secret realms, and various wild environments, this skill could be used as a one-time trump card, but it requires a lot of energy to charge each time.
Compared to the Five Elements Body, its value was indeed quite ordinary.
However, at this moment on the ranking battle stage, it was different.
The Time Hourglass, which perfectly mirrored and absorbed Qian Yi's complete combat power, how could it defeat Qian Yi in the same situation?
Perhaps, just as Ye Zou had guessed, at this moment, Su Ping was surely going to lose!
The Origami Man with a flickering phantom body, surrounded by a colorful glow, was staring intently at the impostor.
That glow, to Su Ping, held a special meaning, and it was because of this familiarity that he truly understood Ye Zou's confidence.
Although, he had already guessed some of it before.
Su Ping believed that Qian Yi's Celestial Five Elements Body was absolutely unbeatable!
At the current stage, unless there were some incredibly powerful skills or pet beasts that defied all odds, nothing could match Qian Yi's combat power.
Even the super-tier skill, Hall of Fame's Path, of the Origami Man with the Body of Green Demon, couldn't compare to the Five Elements Body in its current state. Su Ping didn't believe that any pet beast could rival Qian Yi's power.
Unless it was Qian Yi himself.
And indeed, Ye Zou's previous actions almost confirmed Su Ping's guess.
Su Ping looked at the phantom Qian Yi, took a deep breath, and decided to see how far this so-called Time Projection could go.
He didn't pay attention to Ye Zou's words, as Qian Yi's eyes were fixed on the impostor.
"Waaah! (Impostor! Qian Yi won't let you off!)"
At Su Ping's command in the soul contract, Qian Yi's body was enveloped in rapid, continuous flashes of Five Elements Light, and he charged forward.
'Clang!'
Clearly, it was the Origami Man's paper sword clashing with another.
The explosion of energy ripples caused an azure-white burst of light in the air.
Two sword blades,
Two almost identical figures,
Their swords clashed together.
Unveiling the final battle of the professional assessment!
"Roar!"
"Hoo!"
Two similar roars echoed, as Ring Tiger and Qing clashed in battle.
Undoubtedly, Qing's strength, with the Body of Green Demon and the skills like Time Pause and Time Slowdown Barrier, was far superior to Ring Tiger and Ice Cricket combined.
However, Xiao Qing’s abilities did not include any that could instantly eliminate an opponent.
Even the terrifying toxicity of the poison explosion and the Emerald Venom could not take effect instantly against the Year-Ring Tiger.
As a special time-based Companion Beast, the Year-Ring Tiger's physical constitution was somewhere between elemental and corporeal. If given enough time, Xiao Qing would certainly be able to take it down easily.
However, on this stage, the Time Hourglass, with its time rewind every few minutes, made it impossible for Xiao Qing to fight against two and a half opponents, break through Ye Zou’s defenses, and secure a victory.
This led to a stalemate right from the beginning of the battle.
But, perhaps, in anyone's eyes, this wasn't really a stalemate!
The confrontation between Xiao Qing and the Year-Ring Tiger and Ice Cricket was barely a stalemate.
But the battle between Qian Yi and the Time Projection couldn't be considered a stalemate at all!
Bang!
The swords clashed, and Qian Yi’s face had long turned into a poker face, unreadable by the opponent.
But whether it was the Ace of Spades, or the 2 or 3, this damnable Time Projection almost perfectly countered everything.
Even the number of swords was the same.
Clearly, when Ye Zou came to Linzhou and Qian Yi fought a thousand opponents, the same timeline projection was recorded in the Time Hourglass.
Even in the recent battle, Qian Yi's breakthrough was completely within the grasp of the opponent.
One could say that this Time Projection was a perfect replica of Qian Yi, plus a new Qian Yi with the ability to control time rewinds!
Two identical abilities, one with the capability to infinitely recover injuries and return to its initial state, facing an opponent who could also be injured and had a limit to their energy, the advantage was clear.
Even the rate at which their energy increased was the same.
The head of the referee team, Li Ran, watched the increasingly intense battle with a bitter expression.
These two guys were truly terrifying.
The surge in energy, even the ripple effects from the collision of their swords, made the protective barrier on the stage hum with vibrations.
This barrier, which could resist attacks from Imperial-level Companion Beasts, had not yet reached its limit, but it was clear it was approaching that limit.
Especially when the five-color rotating light on the two Origami Figures reached its peak, indicating that the Five Elements Body had entered its most advanced state.
However, Su Ping knew that, barring any unforeseen events, this would be the end.
Even with the experience of using the Five Elements Rotation multiple times, Qian Yi could not sustain it for long!
But with the ability to rewind time, the Time Projection could almost maintain this state indefinitely.
How could he possibly win!
Indeed, this was the reality.
The clash of sword blades, even if Qian Yi summoned a dozen swords in the next second, the Time Projection, using the same technique, could not be breached.
"Such a pity! Su Ping’s Origami Figure is truly too strong. If not for this ability, no one at the same level of Companion Beasts could defeat this Origami Figure,"
On the commentary stand, Lu Guangming sighed, "As the vice-dean of the Imperial Capital’s Academy, the Deputy Dean, "With the strength of that Origami Figure, paired with the time-revers ability, the Time Projection, it’s not just a simple one-to-one situation. Ultimately, Su Ping could be said to have lost to Ye Zou,"
That's right. This moment, Qian Yi is indeed too strong. The result of the battle is almost certain."
Zhang Lan paused for a moment, then somewhat wistfully said, "People always yearn for stories of youthful achievement, But, unfortunately, the path of the young, truly is to to be slow. This is just a minor setback, but what difference does it make?"
Even if this battle is lost, what does it mean for Su Ping?
After all, as Su Ping said, the true stories of legends and the path of the young is not just a simple one-to-one situation. The Time Projection, is a whole different level."
Indeed, Su Ping has already become a legend, But, ultimately, he’s not just a simple one-to-one situation. The Time Projection, is a whole different level."
So, Wang Sheng nodded:
"Truly a pity. Such a strong young is no one at the same level of Companion Beasts. But, ultimately, the path of the young is not just a simple one-to-one situation. The Time Projection, is a whole different level."
"That's right, that's the only way to defeat this skill. However, achieving a breakthrough in battle is no easy feat, especially when the origami figure has already broken through."
Lu Guangming sighed in agreement.
Indeed, even Su Ping knew that the only way to defeat this time projection was for Qian Yi to continue improving outside the replicated timeline.
But how could such a situation arise in consecutive battles?
Su Ping exhaled, then subconsciously wanted to give a command to Qian Yi within the dust.
He was already prepared to concede.
Even if Xiao Qing was strong, it was impossible for her to face Qian Yi's time clone and the suppression of the Year-Ring Tiger. Failure was inevitable.
Ye Zou had indeed exceeded his expectations.
Even if he used some of his untapped abilities, such as the Dragon Aura talent to influence his opponent, it wouldn't make much difference.
Time-based, tool-based, these attribute classifications had inherently little effect on such influences.
However, just at this moment, Su Ping's heart suddenly fluttered.
An indescribable feeling emanated from the soul contract.
Su Ping had never experienced this feeling before.
He turned his head sharply and looked towards the place where the dust had settled around Qian Yi.
The time projection stood in the air, holding a wind sword, without a poker face, but the two-dimensional expression on his face was equally wooden, as if it were the real poker face.
However, just then,
A calm shout rang out:
"Wow! (It's just a counterfeit! Don't get too arrogant!)
"Wow! (I've been practicing for so long, why can a counterfeit defeat me?)"
This sentence also made Su Ping sigh slightly.
Yes, how much pain had Qian Yi endured? After analyzing the cause of the mutation, the golden origami man knew that he had been pierced by countless swords.
Su Ping could also understand that the little guy's determination to become stronger was no less than any other companion beast.
Su Ping, as a beastmaster, could afford to leisurely research other companion beasts, but Qian Yi was just too driven.
Even Xiao Qing, who was not particularly fond of combat, was motivated to improve her combat abilities.
Su Ping had almost never seen this little guy rest.
Even in the beast taming space, the specially made wooden post for sword practice needed to be replaced every so often, and new sword marks would appear every time.
Except for occasionally watching those sword-fighting movies, when had Qian Yi ever rested?
This Qian Yi, in addition to cultivating himself, was constantly improving, all on his own.
However, even so, could the opponent's so-called time projection completely replicate Qian Yi's abilities and use them perfectly?
But unfortunately, that was the fact.
Su Ping sighed, but Qian Yi's voice quickly continued:
"Wow! (You counterfeit, do you know what a true sword is? Do you know what a true swordsman is?!)
Qian Yi's voice went from calm to increasingly angry and high-pitched:
"Wow! (A swordsman should face challenges head-on, a swordsman should draw their sword against stronger foes!)"
In the end, his incomprehensible voice, almost in sync with the dust, shouted with all his might:
"Wow! (Only wanting to take shortcuts, only wanting to reap the fruits of others' labor, how dare you bear the name of a swordsman, how dare you draw your sword, you bastard!)"
Just as his words fell,
Clang!
An incredibly crisp sword ringing sound, with an indescribable sense of clarity.
This sound, which should have been quite ordinary, gave people an extremely special feeling at this moment.
Not only Su Ping, but even Ye Zou in the distance, was also stunned.
Then, under the simulated night sky of the arena, a dazzling light, like a gleaming white star in the entire black night, suddenly lit up.
White Beam Piercing the Moon!
This was the only word that came to Su Ping's mind to describe the scene before him.
A dazzling white light, seemingly a sword, or perhaps Qian Yi himself, suddenly pierced through.
The time projection, in a flash, was almost instantly pierced through, nearly bursting into pieces.
Fortunately, with the rewind of time, it returned to its original state.
Dodging that one burst of white light trailing sword qi.
But, on the protective barrier above the arena, a dent appeared.
Then, on this dent, a cracked spider web pattern instantly shattered!
The force of one strike finally caused the overburdened barrier to shatter and burst.
In the white light, Qian Yi was still Qian Yi.
But no one knew what had happened.
Including Su Ping, the owner.
Therefore, Su Ping, in a state of shock and awe, immediately captured the source of Qian Yi's transformation through the feedback of the soul contract and spirit insight.
His realm hadn't changed, but his upper realm had increased.
So, was it a skill transformation?
Indeed, it was.
Su Ping gasped in realization.
Through the feedback of spirit insight, he finally saw where that White Beam Piercing the Moon had come from.
It was a skill that Su Ping had almost forgotten.
But it was now the most special skill:
