Chapter 1157: Chapter 337: Battle Totem Gai? (Double-Length)
As for the rankings within the top thousand, they will be determined in the top ten knockout competition on the third day, without considering the combat power scores.
A person and his three pets huddled together, staring at the screen to finish reading the event rules.
"If the first round of the qualifiers doesn’t reveal ’Soul Attachment’, we can actually just wing it," Lin Su shook his head helplessly. "The combat score doesn’t affect us."
His goal was to be in the top ten; the score from the Heavenly Stele was meaningless.
But the problem was, during today’s qualifiers, ’Soul Attachment’ had already been exposed.
Using it or not tomorrow doesn’t make much difference, but the rewards from the Heavenly Stele are different.
Though the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm is a mysterious-level secret realm, even mosquito legs are still meat after all.
"In tomorrow’s first round, Youyou and I will use ’Soul Attachment’," Lin Su quickly decided. "We’ll also use the scores to roughly gauge the strength of other contestants."
Apart from those confident of getting into the top thousand who might hold back, other contestants should be giving it their all now.
"As for the second and third rounds..." Lin Su carefully looked at the format of the following two rounds, "Combining both rounds requires fighting five matches."
"The draw result for the second round will come out shortly, while the third round will be determined based on the results of the second-round knockout matches, requiring on-the-spot drawing."
As Lin Su was speaking, a notification email appeared on the communication device. Upon opening it, it announced the draw results for tomorrow’s second round of qualifiers.
"My number is 08668," Lin Su glanced at his number and smiled. "That’s a lucky number, let’s see the opponent...09231, who’s that?"
"Krr!" (You can check other contestants’ numbers now!)
Ghost wiggled its communication device, speaking quickly.
As Lin Su said the opponent’s number, it had already started its search and now had results.
Lin Su leaned in for a look and quickly showed a look of surprise, "Ah, this..."
The contestant number 09231 was a hall-level Beast Tamer.
If it were just a normal hall-level Beast Tamer, Lin Su wouldn’t pay much attention.
But this Beast Tamer named Wulan was somewhat different.
Records showed he came from the Desert Region.
"Faith Evolution path, huh." Lin Su suddenly recalled his previous encounter with Sangla and couldn’t help but grow more curious. "Can we check what his pet beasts are? I remember we can view today’s match videos."
"Meow! (｡òωó｡)" (I’ve already found it!)
On the other side, Qiuqiu briskly waved its communication device.
After searching for the name Wulan, all of his match videos from the seven-round qualifiers appeared.
With just a glance, Lin Su’s surprise deepened in his eyes.
Wulan was also a Beast Tamer with a sixth-level Beast Taming Space, and he had three Faith Evolution pet beasts. The strongest one was the same as War God Leon’s main pet beast from the Desert Region, hailed as the Desert’s number one Faith Totem...
Totem Gai!
In an instant, Lin Su thought of War God Leon.
Since the other party entered this competition, he would inevitably face him in the top ten contention.
But currently, he was entirely clueless about the Totem Gai. Facing the enemy in the future would definitely be disadvantageous.
If he could first face Wulan and learn about the abilities of Totem Gai, it would undoubtedly help in the subsequent battle with War God Leon.
"I must prepare well for tomorrow’s second round!"
"Mm! (⑅ŏᴗŏ⑅)" (I want to fight!)
Not having had the chance to showcase its War Spirit Form today, Youyou eagerly raised its small hand.
In future battles with War God Leon, it would definitely attach to Lin Su, so it’s the most suitable to familiarize itself with Gai’s skills now!
This reason left Qiuqiu and Ghost, who also wanted to battle, without any argument.
As the elder brothers, they exchanged a glance and sighed with worry.
The little sister has grown up and is not so easy to fool anymore.
"Alright then, tomorrow you’ll go out in War Spirit Form to test Wulan’s Totem Gai’s strength..." Lin Su pinched his chin. "But then again, what if the guy doesn’t use Totem Gai?"
"He probably will." After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly. "If I can check his situation, he can definitely check my situation too. Totem Gai is his strongest pet beast. If he wants to win, he can only use the strongest pet beast to try."
"If there are hall-level, monarch-level opponents in the third round, I’ll let you two fight," Lin Su quickly reassured the slightly disheartened Qiuqiu and Ghost, who didn’t get a chance to fight.
"By the way, I’ll ask Sister Nan who her opponent is tomorrow..."
...
"Knock, knock, knock."
A somewhat dull knocking sound came from outside the door of a contestant reception room.
"Come in!"
With a voice coming from inside the room, the door was pushed open.
A young man, appearing around thirty, with dark skin, entered the room, looking at an uncle busy inside.
The uncle with similarly dark skin was cooking delicacies in the kitchen prepared for contestants, and a rich aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen.
He only glanced at the young man and then mumbled, "Isn’t it my unlucky nephew Wulan? Why are you here?"
Wulan’s face slightly twitched, and he helplessly shook his head, "Uncle Leon, I..."
"No rush!" Leon interrupted Wulan, "Wait till I finish cooking, then we’ll talk slowly. Do you want a juicy, tender, full-bodied Leon steak with a marvelous pink hue of myoglobin?"
Wulan touched his rumbling stomach, with a hint of uncertainty, "...I’ll have one?"
"You’ll love it!" Leon laughed heartily, humming an unknown tune as he continued his cooking.
After some time, the uncle and nephew sat across from each other at the dining table.
"So, what is it?" Leon asked, cutting a piece of steak with a knife and fork, savoring it before asking.
"Uncle Leon, my opponent for tomorrow’s second round is confirmed; it’s Lin Su," Wulan said, pausing, "I’m probably not his match, so I plan to use Crane Mo tomorrow."
"Huh?" Leon’s chewing slightly paused, and he hummed discontentedly, "You idiot, even if you know you can’t beat him, you should use your strongest pet beast to fight!"
"Uncle, I read online that Lin Su has the strength to enter the top ten. If he battles with Totem Gai, and then faces you, surely he would have... mm!" Before Wulan could finish speaking, Leon stuck a forkful of meat into his mouth.
"Just eat, you foolish boy!" Leon reluctantly shoved a forkful of meat into his mouth, chewing vigorously until the rich juice dribbled from the corner of his mouth. He then picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, "After eating, go back and prepare properly. Use your strongest pet beast against your opponent tomorrow!"
Wulan struggled to swallow down the huge piece of meat, nodding helplessly.
"Alright, I understand."
(It’s the last day of October! Your monthly vote will expire if not cast!)
