Chapter 581: Ye Zhou's Achievement? Degeneration Potion?
Chapter 581: Ye Zhou's Achievement? Degeneration Potion?
Three rounds of friendly sparring.
Initially, everyone was eagerly anticipating the match.
Dong Muchuan, who had previously ranked within the top ten to twenty in the Professional Assessment Tournament, was a known entity.
As for Ye Zhou, he was second, and Qin Xiaoxue was fourth, both impressive rankings.
Therefore, to the spectators, this Beastmaster duel was undoubtedly a genuine battle of the titans.
Such a spectacle was a treat for all to savor.
However, the final outcome left everyone stunned.
Qin Xiaoxue, who had gone back and forth with Su Ping in the previous assessment half a year ago, found herself unable to retaliate against that ancient crow. What did this imply?
No words were needed; everyone understood.
How could Su Ping's strength have improved so rapidly? Not only were the spectators unaware, but even the three participants present couldn't comprehend it.
Especially Ye Zhou, because initially, this Fire-Eating Crow was one he and Su Ping had found together. In just a year, it had evolved from an Elite-ranked creature to the peak of Monarch rank, and that's not all.
Even at the Monarch rank, its combat power was no less than an Imperial rank, and among Imperial ranks, it stood out as an exceptional being.
This made no sense.
So, Ye Zhou stepped onto the arena.
He turned to Su Ping, his previous confidence now completely gone:
"Su Ping, how far has your strength progressed?"
In reality, Qin Xiaoxue and Ye Zhou had some understanding of Su Ping's strength.
Naturally, they also knew that Su Ping's promotion speed far surpassed theirs.
But this was a Beastmaster's promotion speed! No one had mentioned anything about the speed of the beast's improvement!
As Ye Zhou questioned, everyone else was also curious. Su Ping finally stopped holding back, and a terrifying spiritual pressure wave was unleashed.
The Imperial rank's mental suppression slowed down Ye Zhou's summoning speed.
Imperial rank! Even with prior expectation, Ye Zhou's breath momentarily halted.
How could a young Beastmaster's meditation realm breakthrough be so exaggerated and absurd? Was this reasonable?
It was clearly unreasonable.
But that familiar Imperial-rank spiritual pressure clearly told the three present that it was real.
An Imperial-rank Beastmaster.
A Beastmaster who had reached the Imperial rank at just twenty years old.
What did this imply? Everyone knew.
Su Ping didn't like to hide his strength, nor did he need to.
However, since this was a friendly sparring match with beasts, not a real arena duel, there was no need for the Beastmaster to get involved.
So he hadn't shown off, but now that Ye Zhou asked, there was no point in hiding it.
Ye Zhou's eyes lit up:
"Wait! You, your origami figure hasn't come out. Is it because it also reached the Imperial rank, and you didn't want us to guess that you've promoted to the Imperial rank by summoning two Imperial-rank beasts?"
Qian Yi, how was he addressed by other Beastmasters online?
Simple. He was the strongest Overlord-rank beast in history!
The value of this title was unparalleled, the highest there was! Although it was just the highest Overlord rank, it was still impressive.
And now, during this friendly match, Su Ping's most crucial combat beast hadn't appeared. The reason seemed obvious, but Ye Zhou soon frowned:
"But your Flame Elemental Spirit has also reached the Imperial rank. How can it be that you're afraid of summoning two Imperial-rank beasts and letting us guess that you've promoted to the Imperial rank? You don't want to show off to your brothers?"
Su Ping scorned him with a glance:
"What's there to show off? Qian Yi's current situation is not suitable for sparring, and the strength gap between your beasts and ours is too vast.
If Qian Yi were to appear, this friendly match would be meaningless. Understand? I'm just being considerate of your pitiful self-esteem. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
It was clear that once Ye Zhou started talking, his temper flared:
"Cut the chatter. Summon that paper figure and let me see your beast!"
This guy had initially benefited from his connection, entering the Celestial Dragon Secret Realm and obtaining the inheritance of an Immortal Sage.
Moreover, his fourth beast was there, but he had always been secretive about it, never mentioning it to Su Ping.
Now that he was so confident, Su Ping couldn't be bothered to waste time with this guy.
After Qian Yi came out, this guy would understand everything.
It wasn't surprising that Su Ping was so confident; he couldn't help but feel that way.
Aside from the fact that he had once shattered a Saint Spirit Rank Winter Snow Demon King with a single sword, even without that achievement, the two beings currently residing in Qian Yi's Death Sword Domain were genuine.
One was the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, a Saint Spirit Rank weapon with the purest realm and value. Even the mighty Cold Lord had to be cautious when dealing with this truly advanced Necromancy Grand Saint.
As for the other one, although it didn't possess the same level as the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, its foundation was even more heaven-defying than its counterpart.
The Legendary Rank Dragon Slayer Sword, a special pet beast meticulously cultivated by the opponent of the Dragon Legend in the past.
Even without its soul, being an equipment-type pet beast, it was different from other beasts. Even if the pet beast died, its shell would still retain a portion of its power and the sharp, high-quality nature of the weapon.
Therefore, as long as the Dragon Slayer Sword was slightly awakened and infused by Qian Yi, it might not be able to unleash the full power of the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, but it would certainly not be too weak.
With these two creatures, Qian Yi could already rival some of the mid-level Saint Spirit Rank Beastmasters, such as Meng Yao.
Ye Zhou, a mere Monarch Rank, dared to challenge Qian Yi?
Not only him, but all the people present wouldn't be a match for Qian Yi.
However, this guy insisted on challenging him, so what else was there to say! Su Ping stretched out his hand, and a white summoning light appeared.
Show yourself, little treasure! "Wow!"
Qian Yi's voice echoed throughout the arena.
Su Ping rubbed Xiao Qing, who was slightly annoyed, and comforted his other contract beast of the same rank, before turning to Qian Yi.
Qian Yi's realm and appearance remained unchanged.
His body was still wrapped in that silvery-gray tin foil, and the pitch-black Death Sword in his hand exuded an eerie and sinister aura.
The eyes of everyone present were fixed on Qian Yi.
The Origami Figure from before, including countless Beastmasters, had chosen this most unassuming little creature as their contract beast.
This was the same low-level pet beast that no one had taken seriously before, and it had become the shame of the Necromancy class.
After Su Ping's appearance, the Origami Figure became the hottest contract beast, with no other rival during this period.
At the same time, during this period, numerous discussions and topics emerged regarding the Origami Figure's composite form.
It was incredibly lively.
So, when Qian Yi appeared, representing the rebirth of the Origami Figure, many spectators outside took out their phones.
They captured the evolved appearance of this 'Ancestor' of the Origami Figures.
Even Ye Zhou couldn't help but stare with wide eyes at the little paper figure:
"Goodness, how did you evolve like this? This paper figure seems to have returned to the Necromancy class, abandoning the Five Elements Body?
That's a Hall Rank Supreme Skill! Isn't it a bit of a waste to abandon it like this?"
Su Ping ignored him and said directly:
"Alright, you don't need to summon your pets either. Let Qian Yi show you a little, and then we can call it a day!"
With Qian Yi's appearance, Su Ping no longer had the desire to continue the spar.
The gap was too vast, not just between the beasts.
It was like comparing heaven and earth.
Admittedly, Ye Zhou was unconvinced, even if Qian Yi was Imperial Rank?
Moreover, Qian Yi's body didn't seem to possess the aura of the Five Elements Cycle.
Without that heaven-defying Supreme Skill, his other abilities should be observed first, right?
Why should he surrender without a fight? Was Ye Zhou not concerned about his reputation? After all, he was the second-ranked candidate in this professional assessment tournament.
However, he soon understood why.
Qian Yi didn't seem interested in this battle either.
During this time, while studying the Dragon Slayer Sword in the Death Sword Domain, most of his time was spent sparring with the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.
An opponent like Ye Zhou couldn't spark much interest in Qian Yi anymore.
So, Qian Yi immediately summoned his two subordinates without hesitation.
'Clang!'
'Clang!'
Two crisp sword sounds, as if tearing through the sky.
The entire arena fell into a deafening silence as the two swords made their appearance. The moment they emerged, their mere auras seemed to strain the energy shield protecting the arena, hinting at its impending collapse.
What did this signify? It was clear as day.
More importantly, these two swords made no attempt to conceal their auras.
The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, in particular, with its enormous crimson eye on the blade, glanced at Ye Zhou standing before it and exuded a distinctly human-like disdain.
Being a high-level Saint Spirit Rank artifact-type beast, its intelligence was on par with, if not superior to, that of humans.
With just a glance, it assessed the human's meager strength.
How dare he stand there with such paltry power? Ye Zhou, a top student at the Demon Capital Academy, had a deeper understanding of beasts than most. He instantly recognized the creature before him:
"This is... the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword?! And it's already a mature Supreme Evil Spirit Sword? How is this possible? What's going on here?!"
"Wow!"
Qian Yi was proud of his junior's impressive display. With a wave of his hand, he slowly approached, and his 'Wow' spoke volumes.
Was this tamed by the origami figure?
But how? An Imperial Rank beast taming a high-level Saint Spirit Rank one?
Was this even reasonable?
Ye Zhou couldn't help but suspect that this was some kind of favoritism from Cold Lord or even Saint Dragon. How else could it be possible? So, he became furious:
"Su Ping, the little crow earlier was one thing, but this Supreme Evil Spirit Sword is going too far!"
Clearly, Qian Yi's strength was being questioned! And he became enraged!
The other relatively inconspicuous long sword suddenly emitted a flash of light.
The Dragon Slayer Sword seemed to resonate with an incredibly powerful dragon's roar.
Within this roar was a terrifying sword aura and energy that rivaled, if not surpassed, that of the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.
However, unlike the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, this Dragon Slayer Sword was completely under Qian Yi's control.
This sword, covered in dragon scales, was no less formidable than the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.
Didn't that mean that while Qian Yi's current rank was Imperial, his true strength was already at the Saint Spirit level?
What was the point of continuing the fight?
Ye Zhou understood why Su Ping had said those words earlier.
Indeed, there was no need to continue the fight.
There was also no need to summon a beast.
Ye Zhou, being single, quickly assessed the situation and, without hesitation, leaped off the arena.
"Why aren't you fighting?"
"Scram! Didn't you say you didn't want to fight? After thinking it over, I realized that since we haven't seen each other for half a year, it's not right to start fighting right away. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."
Ye Zhou felt no embarrassment whatsoever.
In fact, the guest was taking the initiative to treat the host to a meal.
"No fancy dinner, but how about the canteen?"
"Let's go!"
The canteen at the Heart of All Spirits wasn't far off from a grand feast.
In Su Ping's private room, Miss Qin, who had been pestering him about the Taiji Yin-Yang Dual Body Transformation skill, finally calmed down after Su Ping promised to help her with beast cultivation after the New Year's Day Breeder Competition.
At the dinner table, Ye Zhou didn't inquire about Qian Yi's evolution but instead asked about Ye Zhou's recent cultivation results:
"How was your recent cultivation? What are you planning to present at the Breeder Competition to impress this judge?"
Ye Zhou boasted:
"For skills, it's mainly about inheritance, which can be discussed later. But during this time, Professor Wang and I have successfully developed what you initially wanted!"
"Huh? What did I initially want?"
"Don't you remember? It's the 'degeneration' potion that can make beasts regress, which we talked about when we first met!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's eyes lit up.
