Chapter 420: A Sure Loss? The Breakthrough of Perfection!

Chapter 420: A Sure Loss? The Breakthrough of Perfection!

"What the hell? There's a skill like this? Ye Zhou is really a lucky bastard. Why didn't he bring this out earlier?"

"Unfair victory! Using a pet bred by Su Ping himself to fight against himself?"

"What's there to say about this? It all depends on whether Su Ping can break through this situation!"

The shattered Time Sandglass had clearly sparked intense debates among the audience.

"What's this?"

At this moment, it wasn't just the audience.

Even in the broadcasting room above, the eight Saint Spirit Rank Beastmasters all stared in surprise at the Time Projection formed by the crystal dust, which was a projection of the Time Sandglass.

And Ye Zhou's words.

"Being able to demonstrate all the abilities experienced in the timeline of battle, and also having the Time Rewind ability of the Time Sandglass itself."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Sang Sheng, who smiled slightly:

"That's right, Ye Zhou mentioned this to me before."

Lord Cold's eyebrows furrowed slightly:

"Isn't this against the rules? The rules of the qualification tournament clearly state that skills cannot be charged before the arena matches, right? This Time Projection should be Ye Zhou using the Time Sandglass to project Su Ping's previous battles, right?"

Sang Sheng smiled and explained, "It's not like that. Ye Zhou's skill is not a charging skill. From an energy perspective, there's no issue. Moreover, the number of contracts for Su Ping's origami figure is the same."

"Furthermore, this also happens to align with Ghost Saint's intentions, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Cold was slightly taken aback. After careful consideration, it seemed to be the case.

He decided not to say more.

Aiyue Sheng, standing beside him, felt a bit disappointed. He had bet his entire fortune on Su Ping, and although Ghost Saint's family was wealthy, he didn't care about an Earthbound Spirit. But he had just been promoted to Saint Spirit Rank, and compared to Sang Sheng, he couldn't say much.

On the other hand, Sage Yuan, standing next to him, sighed. "This skill has never been seen before, but was it developed by this little guy?"

"One of the legacies left by Jiang Xuanji, it seems Ye Zhou has perfected it. Although this skill seems powerful, it hasn't reached that level. At most, it can be considered a functional advanced skill."

Sang Sheng explained, "First, the current Time Projection can only project pets of the same or lower rank. Higher-ranked pets cannot be replicated."

"Second, the summoned projection needs to repeatedly visit the corresponding pet's battle location to reflect fragments of time and sense the pet's combat experience in the timeline."

"Finally, this hard-earned projection can only fight once, unless it maintains this form. Otherwise, it won't be able to fight again."

Everyone nodded, especially the surprised Elder Wind, who slowly sat down.

After Sang Sheng's explanation, the value of the Time Projection decreased significantly.

It could even be said that it was somewhat useless.

On the battlefield, in secret realms, and in various wild environments, this skill could be used as a one-time life-saving trump card, but it required a lot of effort each time.

Compared to the Five Elements Rotation, its value was indeed ordinary.

However, at this moment in the arena, it was different.

The Time Sandglass, which had completely absorbed Qian Yi's full combat power, how could it defeat another advanced skill user under the same conditions?

Perhaps, as Ye Zhou said, at this moment, Su Ping was indeed a sure loss!

The origami figure with its flickering illusory body was surrounded by a five-colored glow.

That glow was very familiar to Su Ping, and it was precisely because of this familiarity that he truly understood why Ye Zhou was so confident.

In fact, he had already guessed some of it before.

Su Ping believed that Qian Yi's Heavenly Cycle Quintessence Body was a super-class skill that had advanced from the beginner level to proficiency, enhancing the speed and power of the elemental body.

At the current stage, unless there were some incredibly powerful skills or pets that defied the heavens, what could match Qian Yi's combat power?

Even Qing Long, who also possessed the advanced skill of External Incarnation, couldn't compare to the Heavenly Cycle Quintessence Body at this stage. Even if it was a time-attribute pet, Su Ping didn't believe that any pet could be Qian Yi's match.

Unless it was Qian Yi himself."

Ye Zhou's previous actions almost confirmed Su Ping's guess.

And indeed, it was as he thought.

Su Ping looked at the illusory Qian Yi and exhaled lightly. Since it was like this, let's see how far this so-called Time Projection could simulate.

He didn't need to pay attention to Ye Zhou's words. Qian Yi's big eyes in the soul contract stared intently at the imposter.

Angrily:

"Wah! (Imposter! Qian Yi won't let you off!)"

At Su Ping's command in the soul contract, having some fun."

With a rapid flash of the five-colored light around Qian Yi's body, his figure suddenly charged forward.

'Clang!'

A crisp sound rang out.

The paper sword, assembled by the origami figure, at this moment, actually produced a sound of metal clashing.

The burst of energy ripples, and the air was filled with golden-white explosive light.

Two sword blades,

Two almost identical figures,

Their swords clashed together.

The curtain was raised on the final battle of the qualification tournament!

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Two similar roars sounded, and at this moment, Ringed Tiger and Qing Long also launched their attacks.

Undoubtedly, Qing Long was no match for Ringed Tiger, who possessed skills like Time Freeze and Time Slowdown Barrier, even with the addition of Frost Cicada.

However, Xiao Qing's abilities truly lacked the power to instantly take down an opponent.

Even the terrifying toxicity of the Poisonous Explosion and the Green Demon Poison could not instantly take effect against the Year Ring Tiger.

As a time-manipulating special pet, the Year Ring Tiger's constitution was between elemental and physical. If given enough time, Xiao Qing would undoubtedly be able to easily defeat it.

However, on this Arena, the Time Sandglass, with its time rewinds every few minutes, made it impossible for Xiao Qing to fight against two and a half opponents, break through Ye Zhou's defenses, and achieve victory.

This caused the battle to stall from the very beginning.

Actually, perhaps in anyone's eyes, this wasn't even a stalemate!

Xiao Qing's struggle against the Year Ring Tiger and Frost Cicada was barely a stalemate.

But the battle between Qian Yi and the Time Projection wasn't a stalemate at all!

Bang!

The swords clashed, and Qian Yi's face had long turned into an unreadable poker face.

Yet, whether it was the Ace of Spades or the 2s and 3s, the damned Time Projection almost perfectly countered everything.

Even the number of swords, the opponent had them.

Clearly, when Ye Zhou came to Linzhou and Qian Yi fought a thousand opponents, the same timeline's projection was also imprinted into the Time Sandglass.

Even in the recent battle, Qian Yi's breakthrough was completely within the opponent's grasp.

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 that could infinitely recover from injuries and revert to its initial state, facing an opponent who could also be injured and had a limit to their energy state, the advantage was obvious.

Even the speed at which their energies increased was the same.

The referee group leader, Li Ran, watched the increasingly intense battle with a bitter expression.

These two were too terrifying.

The explosive energy from their clashes, even just the ripples, made the protective barrier on the Arena hum continuously.

This barrier, which could withstand up to Imperial Level pet beasts, was approaching its limit, despite not reaching it yet.

Especially when the five color rotation on the Origami Figures reached its peak.

This represented the peak of the Five Elements Body's operation.

However, Su Ping knew that, barring any unexpected events, this was as far as it would go.

After entering the Five Elements Cycle, even with Qian Yi's multiple experiences, the duration wouldn't last long!

But with the ability to time rewind, the Time Projection could almost maintain this state indefinitely.

How could he possibly win!

In fact, it was indeed the case.

The clash of sword blades, even if Qian Yi summoned dozens of swords in the next second, still couldn't break through the Time Projection's defenses.

"Pity! Su Ping's Origami Figure is too strong. If not for this ability, among pet beasts of the same level, no one could probably defeat this Origami Figure."

On the commentary stage, Lu Guang Ming sighed, his words filled with regret.

As the deputy dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, he naturally hoped that Su Ping would ultimately win, especially after Chen Zhan's elimination.

However, the scene before him left no room for denial; Su Ping's chances of winning were virtually non-existent.

Wang Sheng Tian also nodded:

"With the Origami Figure's strength, coupled with the time-manipulating Advanced Skill, Time Rewind, it's not just a simple one plus one. In the end, Su Ping can't be said to have lost to Ye Zhou, but rather to himself."

Indeed, at this moment, Su Ping had lost to himself.

Qian Yi was too strong.

This led to the Time Projection, completed by the Time Sandglass, being even stronger with the additional skill, almost unimaginably so.

Once a slight advantage was gained, the balance of the battle would tilt in an unimaginable way.

Especially when everyone saw the Time Projection, restored to its complete form, split Su Ping's original Origami Figure with a single sword strike, smashing it against the roof and wall, causing a cloud of dust, and revealing a clear sign of decline.

Zhang Lan paused and spoke somewhat wistfully:

"People all year people, us, us eager to us young, stories of of about the gifted young, year, want to hear more stories of young talents, year, want to hear more stories of young talent, but unfortunately, the path of the young must be walked slowly."

As he spoke, the stage fell silent for a moment, and Lu Guang Ming and Wang Sheng Tian gave the vice president of the Association a strange look.

What kind of of 'literary dream talk' was this vice president spouting?

The youngest age, second in the national youth professional examination, an exceptionally promoted cultivation master.

This is still considered a slow walk?

This is already a flight, at most a slight bump during the flight, but what impact does it have?

Even if he loses this time, what does it mean for Su Ping?

Of course, as Zhang Lan said,,'s dream, the Time Association, vice president, people love to hear legendary stories, but legends are legends because they surpass people's imagination and understanding.

Su Ping is already a legend, but ultimately, he is still just a human, not some divine Beastmaster.

So, Wang Sheng Tian changed the topic:

"It's really a pity. If that scene had happened now, if the Origami Figure had completed its breakthrough and its skill proficiency had increased, there might have been a small chance to defeat Ye Zhou."

"That's right, and this is the only way to defeat this skill. However, it's not easy to achieve a breakthrough in the midst of battle, especially when the origami figure has already broken through."

Lu Guang Ming also sighed regretfully.

Indeed, even Su Ping knew that the only way to defeat this Time Projection was for Qian Yi to continue improving outside of the copied timeline.

But how could such a situation occur in consecutive battles?

Su Ping exhaled, then instinctively wanted to issue a command to Qian Yi, who was buried beneath the dust in the arena's crater.

He was ready to concede.

Even if Xiao Qing was strong, but it was impossible for her to overcome the suppression of Qian Yi's time clone and the Ringed Tiger. Failure was inevitable.

Ye Zhou had indeed exceeded his imagination.

Even if he used some of his unrevealed abilities, such as the Dragon's innate ability to influence opponents, it wouldn't make much difference.

The influence of time-related and tool-related attributes on such effects was inherently limited.

Just then, Su Ping's heart suddenly throbbed with an indescribable sensation, emanating from the soul contract.

Su Ping had never felt this way before.

He quickly turned his head towards the direction of Qian Yi, where the dust had settled.

The Time Projection stood in the air, holding a wind sword, without a poker face, but its two-dimensional expression was equally wooden, as if it were the real poker face.

At that moment,

A plain cry rang out:

"Wah! (It's just an imposter! Don't get too arrogant!)"

"Wah! (I've trained for so long, why should an imposter be able to 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 figure knew that it had been pierced through the heart by countless swords countless times.

Su Ping also understood the little guy's determination to become stronger, which was no weaker than any other companion beast.

Su Ping, as a beastmaster, had never seen this little guy rest.

Even in the beast taming space, the specially made wooden post for sword practice had to be replaced every now and then. Almost every day, new sword marks would appear.

Except for occasionally watching those sword-fighting movies, when did Qian Yi ever rest?

This Qian Yi, in addition to his own cultivation, strived to improve every moment.

However, even so, how could the opponent's mirrored timeline completely replicate and utilize all of Qian Yi's abilities?

Su Ping sighed, but this was the truth.

Su Ping exhaled, and at that moment,

A crisp sword ringing sound reverberated, carrying an indescribable sense of clarity.

This sound, which should have been ordinary, gave people an extremely special feeling at this moment.

Not only Su Ping, but even Ye Zhou in the distance, was stunned.

Then, beneath the simulated night sky of the arena, a dazzling white light flashed, like the bright star of the night, suddenly illuminating the darkness.

White Rainbow Piercing the Moon?

This was the only phrase that came to Su Ping's mind to describe the scene before him.

A dazzling white light, like a sword, or perhaps Qian Yi himself, pierced through the air.

The Time Projection, standing in the sky, flickered and was almost instantly pierced, nearly exploding on the spot.

Fortunately, with the activation of Time Rewind, it returned to its original state.

Although he dodged the white light that shot out, the sword energy that followed was avoided.

However, a dent appeared on the protective barrier above the arena.

Then, on this dent, a spiderweb-like crack appeared, and the barrier shattered in an instant!

With a single strike, the overburdened barrier finally broke and shattered.

In the white light, Qian Yi was still Qian Yi.

But no one knew what had happened, not even Su Ping, the master.

Su Ping, in a state of shock and amazement, used the soul contract and the spirit contract eye simultaneously to capture the source of Qian Yi's transformation at the first opportunity.

His cultivation realm hadn't changed, but his upper limit had increased.

So, was it a skill change?

Indeed, it was.

Because soon, Su Ping gasped in surprise.

Through the spirit contract eye's feedback, he finally saw the origin of the sword that had pierced the moon with a white rainbow.

It was a skill that Su Ping had almost forgotten.

But now, it was the most unique skill:

【Golden Spear Technique (Divine Transformation)】
