Chapter 469: The Other Effects of the Wood Root! The End of the Exercise!
Chapter 469: The Other Effects of the Wood Root! The End of the Exercise!
"The situation is almost over! If this stalemate continues, then this attack will end like this."
The girl nodded at the scene on the screen, her cheeks showing no signs of emotion.
In fact, this was within her expectations. Even though Su Ping wasn't suppressed immediately, and instead, a standoff like this had already made her quite satisfied.
It should be known that although it hadn't been long, after confirming the fusion of the small world and the competition with the Ten Great Mountains, the entire Yunnan-Tibet Southern Legion was specially prepared to counter Su Ping's beasts and abilities.
It was to test Su Ping's reactions when facing an absolute crisis.
If this was the case, and Su Ping managed to counterattack, then wouldn't the several school-level officers, the special forces king, and even the captain of the special forces legion who came personally, all be dead?
Sang Sheng also nodded:
"The response is acceptable. They didn't rashly let the Fairy Blossom and the Life Ancient Tree continue attacking, but instead, they fully protected themselves to prevent any other enemies or hidden beasts from appearing! At the same time, if this situation continues, Su Ping and Xiaoxue will definitely be able to win.
It's just that the time was too short. If they waited for a while, and Su Ping's third and fourth beasts grew up, the situation might be completely different!"
"If we wait until then, Li Bu will have to take action personally! Moreover, it's not certain if he'll be a match for them."
The girl smiled:
"In the end, it's only been a little over a month. By the way, has Su Ping contracted his fourth beast?"
"I heard that he has, but I don't know which beast he contracted. I really don't know."
During this time, Sang Sheng only heard her partner's complaints and knew how busy Su Ping was. Hence, she didn't ask further.
Speaking of which, the two people in the room turned their heads and looked at a figure standing beside them:
"Long Er, do you know which beast Su Ping contracted as his fourth beast?"
Long Er blinked and then nodded:
"I once heard Su Ping mention it."
"Oh? What kind of beast is it? Is it another mutated beast?"
Sang Sheng smiled.
Long Er shook his head and then nodded:
"I don't know if it's a mutated beast, but I do know that it's an incarnation of the Flame Lord!"
Long Er spoke frankly. When Su Ping mentioned it to him, he didn't pay special attention to it, obviously not needing to keep it a secret.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire cabin fell silent.
At the same time, as if sensing something, the two of them suddenly turned their heads and looked at the screen.
A pure flame was burning in Su Ping's palm.
The next moment, the situation reversed!
...
It must be said that the sudden appearance of the small flame not only broke the original stalemate but also drastically changed the situation that had been briefly held in check.
The burning flame, although unable to directly cause fatal damage or threat to the two Monarch-level beasts, did weaken their tightly interwoven domains, allowing Xiao Qing to take the initiative and create an opportunity to strike.
Once Xiao Qing took the initiative, the outcome was evident.
The reason was simple.
Even though it was a super-tier poison skill, it had unparalleled toxicity.
However, Xiao Qing's Emerald Demon power, combined with the power of the Spring Demon Ginseng within Su Ping's Beast Taming Space, and the mutated Poison Wood Heart, made her a formidable opponent.
Moreover, the Emerald Serpent King and the Stench Thistle were also Monarch-level beasts.
Even if they reached the Imperial level, Xiao Qing was not afraid of them due to their shared attribute.
The reason for the stalemate and even being suppressed, was not for herself but purely because of Qin Xiaoxue and Su Ping behind her.
Perhaps there was also a wooden companion to protect.
It could be said that all three of them were dragging Xiao Qing down.
Of course, Su Ping had seen through this and knew it wasn't a real attack.
Otherwise, in the beginning, he would have directly used the Sovereign Beast Taming Master's ultimate means.
Directly entering his Beast Taming Space with his main body.
Unless the opponent had a beast with spatial abilities, there was nothing he could do against such a move.
The Emerald Demon Wolf Spirit's form changed again.
Using poison to counter poison, the absolute dominance of the Emerald Demon's poison was once again displayed! The Emerald Serpent King spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist, attempting to block Xiao Qing's clone from approaching.
Not only was there no effect, but it also made the poison on Xiao Qing's body even more intense and vibrant.
Her speed increased instead! However, facing Xiao Qing's poison, accompanied by the energy of the Spring Demon surrounding her body, entered the Emerald Serpent King's body without any resistance.
In just ten seconds, the original Emerald Serpent King couldn't even maintain its domain.
The dual domains were shattered, instantly removing the countless blood-red thistles that had been flying in the sky, along with their once-dominant threat.
"Roar!" Amidst the piercing howl, Wood had already been pushed to his limits.
The domain of the Thorn Garden also instantly expanded, with countless thorn demons covering the entire roadside forest and the dilapidated residential buildings.
The mere appearance of a single flame was enough to turn the tide, like a collapsing building, instantly reversing the situation.
Even by the side of the Emerald Serpent King and the Stench Thistle, several other companion beasts of the same Sovereign rank appeared, but they were utterly useless.
Xiao Qing and Wood, even though their cultivation levels were lower than their opponents', the duo had secured such rankings in the professional competition, not to mention that Fairy Blossom and the Life Ancient Tree behind them were not mere decorations.
Especially the Life Ancient Tree, after comprehending 'Rooted Firmly' last night, encountered a battle today against a mutated Life Ancient Tree, which instantly turned pitch-black, absorbing energy from the earth and unleashing its death attribute with full force, even suppressing the opponent's companion beasts more effectively than Wood.
At the same time, on the battlefield ahead, a loud cry rang out:
"Wow!"
Su Ping turned his head to look at Qian Yi.
The combined attack of Xiao Qing and Little Flame enabled a breakthrough, and Qian Yi, who was facing the two mechanical beastmasters alone, suddenly moved.
A white light burst forth from Qian Yi's body.
It was the radiance of the Golden Spear Technique.
Its absolute sharpness caused the air to reverberate with its keen white glow.
In the instant the white light appeared, the energy absorbed by Qian Yi's body was instantly converted and disappeared by more than half.
At this moment, the white sword light of the keen Golden Spear Technique directly shattered the tiniest mechanical fleas!
The Golden Spear Technique had reached a state of perfection! Could it be used like this?
Su Ping was stunned once more.
The last time Qian Yi used this technique against Ye Zou's projection of time, performing 'Crescent Moon Heaven Thrust', was enough for Su Ping to understand the power of a perfected skill.
And now, an impenetrable sword aura had formed around Qian Yi!
The perfected Golden Spear Technique not only increased the power of gold-type skills but also allowed for the addition of partial skill changes, which Su Ping had previously overlooked.
Now it seemed that this was indeed the most important aspect.
The Golden Spear Technique, originally meant to enhance the physical attacks of gold-type companion beasts, making their weapons or claws sharper, had reached a state of perfection in Qian Yi's hands, who was playing with it like a flower.
At this critical moment, a terrifying energy explosion sounded.
Su Ping abruptly looked up, his gaze drawn to a massive figure that had suddenly descended before him. Despite the distance of over a hundred meters, the stench of blood and gore from the colossal figure wafted towards him.
It was a gigantic spider!
At first glance, its exposed legs alone appeared to be twenty to thirty meters long.
Eight massive legs connected to a body the size of a house at its center. On top of the body, a man stood.
The six compound eyes of the giant spider fixed intently on Su Ping, and just a glance from this creature caused Su Ping's skin to crawl.
As a Beast Tamer and an expert in Poison-type Companion Beasts, Su Ping instantly recognized the spider.
Imperial Rank!
Poison King Spider.
Su Ping pursed his lips.
He had only intended to intimidate, but this was the real deal?
"Even Li Bu couldn't hold back. This kid truly has some skills," the girl said, referring to the Poison King Spider in the image. She shook her head, acknowledging the spider's formidable abilities. The name 'Poison King' was simple, but the term 'Poison King' alone was enough to signify its exceptional power, even among Imperial Rank Companion Beasts.
Moreover, this Poison King Spider of Li Bu's was not naturally born; it had evolved from a lower-ranked Companion Beast. Such evolved Companion Beasts often possessed combat capabilities far surpassing those of Imperial Rank Companion Beasts born with such abilities.
However, the girl's attention quickly shifted to Qian Yi and the Poison King Spider, who were engaged in a battle of numbers against the smaller Little Green.
Her gaze primarily focused on the Life Ancient Tree:
"This Life Ancient Tree has actually learned the skill 'Rooted and Firm'? How is that possible? As far as I know, this skill requires a Companion Beast to reach a certain age and spend a long time rooted in one place. Even with additional nurturing, the chance to comprehend this skill is incredibly slim."
The girl was referring to Qin Xiaoxue's Life Ancient Tree, which didn't seem particularly old.
Sangce, the Poison Sage, was not a pure Plant Beastmaster, but among her Companion Beasts, there were Plant-type Poison-type Companion Beasts. She was well-versed in such ultra-high-level skills.
Clearly, this Life Ancient Tree was no ordinary beast.
Sangce smiled and said, "I was going to tell you about this anyway, as I also received some benefits from the person who nurtured this skill. It's not just Xiaoxue's Life Ancient Tree; even my Yin Wood Silkworm is close to comprehending it. And I not only have to pay a hefty nurturing fee, but I also have to help promote this person."
"I wonder if you're interested, A Liu?" Sangce asked, seeming a bit reluctant.
The girl's eyes lit up at the mention of nurturing such a powerful skill.
If she could acquire such a skill by paying a price, it would be an incredibly worthwhile investment! "I wonder which Wood-type Nurturing Master is responsible? Is it Master Feng or Master Zhu?"
"I haven't been in touch with those two recently, but whoever it is, they're right under our noses!" Sangce replied.
"Su Ping? How is that possible...?" The girl was about to question further but then closed her mouth.
Everything about this young Beastmaster could be questioned, even his identity as a human, but his ability to nurture Companion Beasts was beyond doubt.
Just as the girl was about to inquire further, Sangce suddenly froze, her eyes widening in surprise. Then, to the girl's astonishment, Sangce closed her eyes, her expression becoming incredibly vivid.
There was a mix of shock and complexity in her reaction.
"Sangce? What's wrong?" the girl asked after a moment.
After a brief pause, Sangce opened her eyes, and the girl hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Sangce seemed to still be processing what had happened, and she responded instinctively, "My Yin Wood Silkworm has completed its nurturing."
"What? Nurturing completed? In your Beastmaster space? How is that possible...?" the girl exclaimed, not finishing her sentence.
Sangce continued, "The skill 'Rooted and Firm' did not appear."
The girl's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and she asked, "It failed?"
Sangce showed no disappointment at all and even nodded excitedly, "I suppose so. However, I'm not sure if it's due to Su Ping's nurturing efforts, but although 'Rooted and Firm' didn't manifest, the Yin Wood Silkworm's racial skill 'Nourish Yin' has advanced by one level, reaching... the Divine Transformation level!"
Upon hearing this, the girl was stunned.
Three seconds later, the Poison Sage didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie, shouting into it, "Li Bu, stop right there! If you so much as harm a single hair on Su Ping, I'll flay you alive when I get back!"
In the image, Li Bu, who was about to command the Poison King Spider to perform the final stage of the exercise, froze in his tracks. He was also an instructor and captain of a Southern Legion's Special Forces unit.
