Chapter 601: Strength Competition! A Parade of 'Experts'.
Chapter 601: Strength Competition! A Parade of 'Experts'.
Compared to the speed competitions on water and land, the suspense in the air was much less.
Even Little Crow, after being suppressed to the Overlord Rank, might not be able to compare with Big Wind in terms of flying speed, leaving some doubt as to whether they could be on par.
Not to mention, Big Wind wasn't an ordinary Divine Wind Falcon; it had mastered the super-tier skill, Hurricane Eye.
Initially, the Stormy Wind Eagle, a unique elemental evolution of the Great Eagle, also possessed this skill. However, the Great Eagle didn't participate in this speed competition, and even if it had, the couple would still have had some differences.
Moreover, if one were to strictly calculate, although Phoenix Heart had some pets, they paled in comparison to the two Emperor Rank birds under Wind Heart.
This greatly displeased Little Crow.
The rules were the rules.
Some of the pets personally bred by Su Ping were not allowed to participate in the Sports Games, and Little Crow was one of them.
The birds under Phoenix Heart, including the Blue-Feathered Flame Bird and others, were all its little brother's subordinates, firmly under Phoenix Heart's control.
But the Big Wind family of four was different! Although they were all birds, they were initially 'mounts' brought back by the Fire Lord's Flame Avatar.
Later, Su Ping directly placed the entire Wind Island on West Dragon Lake, connecting it to the spatial teleportation array, making it a part of the Heart of All Souls.
Therefore, theoretically, the Big Wind family of four were considered pets of Wind Heart, not Phoenix Heart.
Su Ping had repeatedly instructed them not to have internal conflicts or engage in malicious competition.
However, for the Sports Games with competition points as rewards, Little Crow naturally wanted to keep them under his command if possible.
Unfortunately, the results were not in his favor.
Even after being suppressed to the Overlord Rank, Phoenix Heart's pets didn't even make it to the top three.
Big Wind, Little Wind, and Little Eagle took the top three spots.
Obviously, Little Crow was dissatisfied with this outcome.
Su Ping didn't mind; they were all his pets.
Moreover, he hadn't extensively researched Wind-type pets.
The Wind Heart area was a highly mature and unique natural treasure land.
The Big Wind family of four was the best research foundation, and their ranks were already sufficient.
Most importantly, he was very pleased with the comments appearing in the live stream.
Starting from Phoenix Heart's Phoenix Perch, they flew along the Spirit Stream River, back and forth to Wind Island three times. Under the transformation of the Heart of All Souls, the Spirit Stream River had long since undergone a remarkable change.
The scenery along the way captivated many viewers, drawing their attention to the Heart of All Souls.
Although Su Ping's purpose in establishing the Heart of All Souls was purely to increase the number of pets he bred and create a more complete ecosystem,
gaining popularity and attracting more visitors was still a good thing, a truly satisfying achievement.
The Sports Games proceeded smoothly.
Although the speed competitions on sea, land, and air had already taken up the entire morning, there was still ample time.
After all, Su Ping hadn't intended for it to be a formal event.
It was just a casual game.
It was an opportunity for all his pets to play and prove themselves at the end of the year.
So, after a quick lunch, the afternoon competitions continued.
The first event in the afternoon also attracted everyone's attention.
This event had the most participants among all the sports events, except for the final unrestricted sparring competition.
The reason why the Great Eagle, one of the four members of the family, didn't participate in the aerial speed competition was that it was going to take part in the upcoming event!
Strength Competition!
Of course, this strength didn't refer to the common physical strength; currently, the only pet in the Heart of All Souls with such strength was the Stone Mountain Spirit, Mount Tai.
Therefore, this strength competition was essentially a one-time skill power contest!
Indeed, at this moment, all the pets in the Heart of All Souls had gathered behind the Heart of Sky, in the skill power testing area!
Every participating pet was full of confidence, and with a wave of Bai's hand, all the pets' ranks were suppressed to the Overlord Rank.
"Wow, there are so many pets participating this time."
"That's right, and there are quite a few Plant Types and Undead Types among the contestants!"
"So many pets I've never seen before!"
"Yeah, what is that green one with the vine-like patterns that look like threads?"
The chat was abuzz with comments, just as Su Ping had expected.
After all, there were too many contestants this time, but Su Ping still introduced them: "That's the Everchanging Cloud Vine, a relatively rare and extremely scarce vine-type pet in the Dragon Kingdom.
The red one is the Extreme Flame Lotus. It's a completely extinct Fire-attribute plant-type pet with immense combat power!"
"And that one is the Sword Forest. It may look like many, but it's actually a single pet, also extremely suitable for combat..."
Su Ping didn't show any signs of arrogance that a young genius breeder might exhibit.
He smiled and introduced each pet to all the viewers in the live stream.
He didn't feel any particular way about it; on the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came with having his pets recognized and acknowledged by everyone.
This was the joy of breeding.
As expected, every pet attracted a lot of attention and exclamations in the live stream.
Especially the Extreme Flame Lotus.
The enormous fire-red lotus blazed with fierce and intense flames, a sight that was both majestic and exquisite.
It was like a red jade adorned with the special effect of flames.
As for the other contestants, there was no need to mention the Undead Types. Although there were many pets, at most, only the Dark Earth Binding Spirit could hold its own, and its current realm wasn't high.
It wasn't a pet known for its combat prowess.
In this competition, the Undead Types would likely be outclassed in most events, except for a few specific ones.
This was also what Su Ping intended.
The strength competition officially began, and the pets suppressed to the Overlord Rank showed no signs of holding back.
This was especially true for some unique ones, who seemed to be giving it their all.
Take the Icefang White Wolf, for example...
Indeed, after Old Liu had created this pet and it had comprehended the Super Skill Frost Child, how could Su Ping not breed one for himself? Of course, it was named as his own creation, but in reality, it was one that Old Liu had bred while researching the Dream Butterfly at Su Ping's place.
The previous Icefang White Wolves were just ordinary ones, but this one was Old Liu's creation, and its origin was extraordinary.
It was the direct offspring of Old Liu's Icefang White Wolf.
Its name was White Star, and it was the true pillar of the Ice Heart.
This terrifying white wolf of the Ice Attribute, even at the Overlord Rank, with the empowerment of Frost Child, was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's hearts.
It dampened the confidence of many pets in an instant.
Too terrifying!
After White Star transformed into a crystal of ice and spread its wings, all the water molecules in the air solidified and became permanently frozen. The ice storm, sharp as flying daggers, almost shattered the testing target, which could withstand an Imperial Rank attack.
"Holy shit, 62,000 skill power? Isn't this the power of a mid-Monarch Rank skill?"
Please... You... Collect... 6191 Book... Bar (Six Nine Book Bar!)
"No way, what kind of wolf is this, and what's this skill?"
"The person above, you're obviously not from Jianghai. This is the pet of Liu Fuhai, the president of the Jianghai Breeders' Association."
"That's right, I heard that President Liu has become a Master Breeder and personally bred an entirely new Super Skill. This must be it!"
"Damn, I know President Liu became Master Liu, but I thought he got lucky with Su Ping's help. It seems he has some real skills."
"Of course, what do you expect from a Master Breeder?"
"But I heard, I heard that this Super Skill was indeed something Master Liu achieved with Su Ping's help. My cousin's second aunt's nephew's neighbor used to work at the Breeders' Association headquarters, and he said this skill was developed by Su Ping and Master Liu together."
"Too powerful, that's all I can say..."
However, something unexpected happened, contrary to everyone's belief that the strength competition was a done deal.
Because, the next moment, the Great Eagle made its entrance.
Normally, with Little Crow, Old Sha, Little Qing, Little Fire, and Qian Yi, the contracted and primary pets, they wouldn't have a chance to show off.
But this time, it was their moment to shine.
So, the evolved Stormy Wind Eagle, which had nearly been destroyed on Wind Island, did not challenge its mate in the aerial speed competition.
Instead, it participated in this unique strength contest!
The White Star Icefang White Wolf was indeed formidable, as was the Frost Child. However, White Star was only at the second level of the Monarch rank, suppressed to the Overlord rank. Su Rian seemed to have a slight advantage, but his experience and skill level were evident.
But the Great Eagle was different.
The Storm Eagle, with its Imperial-ranked base, even when suppressed to the Overlord rank, was not comparable to White Star.
Not to mention, the Great Eagle also possessed the super skill, Hurricane Eye!
A vortex of wind appeared, as if tearing through everything in its path.
Hurricane Eye left another mark on the target, one that surprised everyone:
'Holy shit, what is this? An Overlord-ranked skill with an attack power of 77,000?'
'Is this thing so powerful? I once rode it in the Heart of All Spirits, and it cost me 8,000 for just 15 minutes. It was a painful expense, but now it seems like I got a good deal!'
'Damn, Rich Bro, look at that power!'
'The Storm Eagle, didn't Su God just say that it was a special evolution of the Stormy Wind Eagle, a Monarch-ranked companion beast? Even a wild-bred one has a super skill. That was definitely a super skill just now.'
'This settles it. No other companion beast can beat this Storm Eagle. That skill power, wow.'
'Hey, are you sure about that? I don't think it's possible.'
'If something this powerful can't win, I'll be a fraud!'
Su Ping smiled as he read the messages in the chat. After the Great Eagle, another special participant took the stage.
Phoenix Perch.
Previously, at the Heart of Phoenix, as the finishing point for the aerial speed race, it had not attracted much attention.
But when it appeared, everyone was stunned.
Super Ashen World.
Another special evolved companion beast, and another rare super skill!
Then, another record was broken!
Compared to the Wind and Ice lineages, the Fire and Thunder lineages were perhaps the strongest and most visually striking.
Phoenix Perch, when it evolved, was based on the Cloud Saint's Fire Phoenix, making it incredibly powerful from the start.
Under the Ashen World, the concentrated domain unleashed its most powerful attack, causing the target to emit a sound of unbearable strain.
'What the... 80,000?'
'The skill power of a high-level Monarch-ranked companion beast! It's almost at its peak.'
'What the hell?'
'Where's the guy who was talking about fraud earlier? The speed race is starting!'
'No, there weren't this many freaks in the previous competitions!'
'Should this be it?'
Is it over? Su Ping glanced at the few remaining participants.
No, they weren't just kids.
At this moment, an old friend who hadn't been seen in a long time, a rare one who joined in the excitement, also appeared.
Perhaps, it was also drawn by the allure of points.
The Old Tree, who usually avoided conflict and lived a peaceful life, was now among the competitors.
But the Old Tree was no longer the same.
After being treated by the Spring God, it had mutated from a Life lineage to a Poison lineage.
Then, with the help of the wood root potion created by Su Ping, it developed the super skill 'Rooted Firmly'.
While it wasn't a combat skill, its effects were still impressive.
Moreover, the Old Tree was far more experienced than the other newcomers.
When the ancient tree, with its verdant and somewhat eerie green, appeared before everyone, and its branches, entwined with purple poison, suddenly pierced through, everyone finally understood the meaning behind Su Ping's mysterious smile:
'Damn, there's another expert?'
'How many powerful companion beasts are hiding in the Heart of All Spirits? And why are these mighty beasts so obedient to Su God, who isn't even their contract master?'
'You already know it's Su God...'
