The competition ended, and Bai Ming was also dumbfounded.
What was going on?
It was over just like that?
Cao Kang and the others had the same thought as Bai Ming. They felt that the number of extraordinary creatures they had hunted was far from their expectations.
Out of ten thousand extraordinary creatures, the top ten should have hunted at least three to four hundred.
However, he had only killed over two hundred.
Some contestants had even killed only a few dozen.
Until everyone was teleported out of the ruins space and returned to the previous competition venue, they saw the large screen displaying the number of extraordinary creatures killed by the top ten in the auction.
Zheng Dong's kill count of extraordinary creatures far exceeded the second place.
In fact, the second and third places combined did not kill as many as Zheng Dong.
This monster?
Hu Maoxue couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Although he had entered the top ten, the number of extraordinary creatures he hunted was not even one-fifth of Zheng Dong's.
Besides Cao Kang, Fan Liang, Wei Su, Bai Ming, and Hu Maoxue, Shen Bing and Shen Xue also entered the top ten.
The remaining two came from Fengdu University and Leidu University.
The finals were scheduled for three days later.
During this period, all contestants could rest and adjust their condition.
Meanwhile, Bai Hongguang was also close to breaking the seal.
The black stone tablet was already covered with cracks.
It wouldn't be long before the stone tablet collapsed, and the seal would break with it.
On the other end of the seal was a sinister world.
This place was inhabited by a large number of undead.
As well as many ferocious and violent hell asuras.
In the mythical era, this异世界 (otherworld) was itself a part of the netherworld.
As the mythical era ended, the netherworld shattered into hundreds or thousands of异世界 (otherworlds).
Therefore, the undead and hell asuras here were very powerful.
Among them, the undead established the Nine Nether Totem Kingdom, and the strongest Nine Nether Ghost Emperor was already close to the strength of a lower god.
If this异世界 (otherworld) could not withstand divine power, it would have condensed divine personality long ago.
Of course, the hell asuras also established their own Asura Totem Kingdom, and the strongest Asura Emperor was on par with the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor.
As the seal was continuously damaged.
The Asura Emperor and the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor also sensed the abnormality.
They came to the secret realm space connected to Blue Star.
Looking up at the sky.
They saw that the originally blurry continent in the sky was gradually becoming clearer.
This continent was where Yanhuang was located.
Once the continent fully appeared, they would be able to travel to Blue Star.
Instantly, the Asura Emperor and the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor became excited.
They each summoned their subordinates and prepared to go to Blue Star.
In the palace hall of the Nine Nether Totem Kingdom, the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor sat majestically on the throne above, with a quasi-god level undead standing on each side below.
Behind them, seven or eight totem-level undead stood respectively.
"The secret realm leading to Blue Star is about to open. I need you to go to Blue Star and search for the ruins left by the Netherworld Ghost King God."
The Netherworld Ghost King God was one of the main gods of the netherworld during the mythical era, and his strength was immense.
If the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor obtained the inheritance of the Netherworld Ghost King God, he might have a chance to become the new Netherworld Ghost King God.
At the same time, the Asura Emperor also said to his subordinates:
"I don't care what methods you use, you must find the ruins of the Asura God King for me!"
The Asura God King was also a main god of the netherworld.
The Asura Emperor's dream was to become the Asura God King and the ruler of the hell asura clan.
Of course, Bai Hongguang was still unaware of the situation in the异世界 (otherworld) on the other side of the secret realm.
He only wanted to break the seal as soon as possible, throw Yanhuang into chaos, and make everyone pay for the Bai family.
Meanwhile, Zhao Pu, the legendary, and the Special Operations Bureau and Security Bureau had not yet discovered Bai Hongguang's whereabouts, nor had they discovered the abnormality in the Bai family's backyard.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The finals began.
The ten contestants who entered the finals drew lots to determine their opponents.
Each person would fight against the other nine.
The one with the most wins would be the champion.
If the number of wins was the same, the two who fought each other again would determine the victor.
In other words, Zheng Dong needed to fight against the other nine people.
If he won all matches, he would win the championship.
As the first place in the previous two rounds, Zheng Dong was arranged to draw first.
Coincidentally, Zheng Dong drew Bai Ming in the first match.
Upon hearing the news, Bai Ming frowned.
He, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Seeing Zheng Dong's performance in the previous two matches, he felt that he might not be Zheng Dong's opponent.
Gritting his teeth, he walked onto the competition stage with a forced smile.
Instantly, the surrounding audience erupted in thunderous applause.
It was almost all cheering for him.
After all, he represented Wudu University, and the surrounding audience was also from Wudu, all hoping for his victory.
Bai Ming stepped onto the competition stage and looked at Zheng Dong.
A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
Zheng Dong, I will not lose. I will settle the score for the Bai family with you sooner or later.
Bai Ming summoned his two Emperor-level pet beasts, the White-Eyed Winged Dragon Emperor and the Azure Luan Bird Emperor, as well as four Monarch-level pet beasts.
Judging by his appearance, he intended to go all out and use all his pet beasts to defeat Zheng Dong.
The surrounding cameras were all focused on Zheng Dong and Bai Ming.
All the spectators were also looking forward to this battle.
In the live broadcast, Di Ying also asked:
"President Wei, who do you think has a higher chance of winning?"
Wei Shichuan did not answer immediately.
There were still many people scolding him online, so he did not dare to easily declare who would win.
But now it was a live broadcast, and he had to answer Di Ying's question.
He thought for a moment and said:
"This is really hard to say.
Both Zheng Dong and Bai Ming are Grandmaster-level beast tamers. Bai Ming has been a Grandmaster-level beast tamer for a longer time, which is why he has contracted two Emperor-level pet beasts by transcending levels.
However, Zheng Dong clearly became a Grandmaster-level beast tamer not long ago and has not contracted Emperor-level pet beasts by transcending levels.
He might be at a disadvantage in the fight.
Of course, we need to analyze the specific situation based on the actual combat situation!"
After listening to Wei Shichuan's analysis, Di Ying felt that it made sense, but also felt that something was not quite right.
Although Zheng Dong's pet beasts had not yet grown to Emperor-level.
Zheng Dong's Elemental Ancient God Tree, however, had mastered many Emperor-level elemental spirits.
Di Ying had not yet reacted.
A warm-hearted audience member pointed out Wei Shichuan's mistake with a bullet comment.
At the same time, on the battle stage, Zheng Dong also summoned his pet beasts such as Xiao Zi, Youyou, and Ling'er.
Facing the White-Eyed Winged Dragon Emperor and the Azure Luan Bird Emperor.
Ling'er also released two Emperor-level light and dark elemental spirits.
As a result, the battle became one-sided.
The White-Eyed Winged Dragon Emperor and the Azure Luan Bird Emperor were held back by the Emperor-level light and dark elemental spirits, unable to launch effective attacks.
Xiao Zi, Youyou, and other pet beasts quickly dealt with Bai Ming's remaining Monarch-level pet beasts.
Then they turned back and, together with the light and dark elemental spirits, dealt with the White-Eyed Winged Dragon Emperor and the Azure Luan Bird Emperor.
Although the White-Eyed Winged Dragon Emperor and the Azure Luan Bird Emperor were powerful, they were helpless against being ganged up on and were quickly defeated.
In the first match, Zheng Dong easily won.
This made Bai Ming very unwilling.
Unfortunately, even though he had hidden many trump cards, he did not dare to use them in the battle.
Using external forces to compete was not allowed and would result in disqualification.
This also affected his reputation.
Damn Zheng Dong, we'll see. I will make you pay sooner or later.
Next, Zheng Dong continued to draw lots and met Shen Xue.
Shen Xue was still the same as usual.
Her pet beasts were all very violent. The Abyssal Barbarian Bear, the Purgatory Titan, and the Night Giant had all evolved into the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor, the Purgatory Titan King, and the Night Giant Emperor.
Their growth levels had all reached Monarch.
Of course, Shen Xue's greatest trump card was her beast-taming talent, Undead Fusion.
If she fused the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor, the Purgatory Titan King, and the Night Giant Emperor together, she would likely be able to deal with Emperor-level pet beasts without any problem.
"Zheng Dong, it's been a while since we fought. Don't disappoint me!" Shen Xue said.
The Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor she summoned also provocatively looked at Xiao Zi.
I've become Monarch-level, and you're still General-level.
Xiao Zi was not to be outdone.
Hmph, what's so great about Monarch-level? I'll beat you to a pulp later!
Instantly, the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor roared.
It looked eager to fight, impatiently wanting to beat up Xiao Zi.
Xiao Zi looked at Zheng Dong.
Master, hurry up and start. I want to show this simpleton who is the strongest.
As the match began.
Xiao Zi also transformed into the Star Devourer Beast, its size becoming enormous, no less than the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor.
Immediately after, Xiao Zi used Gravity Control, making the already clumsy Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor move even more frantically.
Invisible gravity pressed down on the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor.
The Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor immediately felt as if it was carrying a large mountain.
Let alone fighting, even walking was a bit difficult.
It angrily unleashed its ultimate skill, Earthquake.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zi disappeared from its original spot the next second.
Afterward, Xiao Zi appeared in mid-air, used the Magnification skill to become huge, and then used Mountain Crushing Strike, descending towards the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor's head.
With a rumble.
The Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor was smashed into the ground alive.
It was like a pile driver hitting its head.
The Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor's head buzzed.
Before it could regain consciousness, it was hit by Mountain Crushing Strike again.
Xiao Zi, who mastered spatial teleportation, could repeatedly use Mountain Crushing Strike to launch attacks, gradually smashing the Abyssal Barbarian Bear Emperor into the ground.
At the same time, Youyou, Jingjing, and other pet beasts also heavily wounded Shen Xue's multiple pet beasts, including the Purgatory Titan and the Night Giant.
Shen Xue couldn't help but glare at Zheng Dong.
Bastard, can't you go easy on me?
You don't even care about people.
Seeing that her pet beasts were no match.
Shen Xue decided to use her beast-taming talent, Undead Fusion.
Under the effect of Undead Fusion, her multiple undead pet beasts fused together to become a brand new undead.
This undead looked like a monster.
Its size was enormous, integrating the strength of multiple pet beasts such as the Abyssal Barbarian Bear, the Purgatory Titan, and the Night Giant, exuding an aura comparable to top-tier Emperor-level.
But for Zheng Dong, it was nothing.
Monarch-level Ling'er and Youyou could both deal with Emperor-level pet beasts.
However, Zheng Dong still gave Shen Xue some face and did not use the Emperor-level light and dark elemental spirits.
He let Ling'er, Youyou, and other pet beasts fight slowly.
Until Shen Xue could no longer sustain the use of her beast-taming talent, Undead Fusion, and the Abyssal Barbarian Bear, Purgatory Titan, and Night Giant were forced to separate.
The result was obvious.
The separated Abyssal Barbarian Bear, Purgatory Titan, and Night Giant were quickly defeated.
In the second match, Zheng Dong won again.
After that, Zheng Dong continued to win two more matches.
By the fifth match, he encountered Hu Maoxue again.
Hu Maoxue walked onto the competition stage and looked at Zheng Dong, smiling.
"You are more powerful than I expected. In such a short time, you have become a Grandmaster-level beast tamer, and your strength is much greater than mine.
I feel that if you try to complete the God-making Plan, you will definitely succeed!"
Zheng Dong frowned.
This guy Hu Maoxue wanted him to participate in the God-making Plan again.
He was unwilling to participate in such a crazy plan.
His interest in the Fire God Cult was limited to information about his parents.
Seeing that Zheng Dong ignored him.
Hu Maoxue did not feel awkward and continued to say:
"You must really want to know information about your parents. I told you last time that we would only let you know if you joined the Fire God Cult."
"I will find out one day," Zheng Dong said indifferently.
Joining the Fire God Cult was not his only option.
Once he had enough strength, he would be able to find out what his parents did in the Fire God Cult.
He would also find out if his childhood illness was caused by his parents being mixed-bloods.
Seeing this, Hu Maoxue also frowned.
His patience was worn out by Zheng Dong.
So, he summoned his pet beasts and threatened:
"Zheng Dong, don't think you're so great that you can challenge our Fire God Cult.
I'm telling you, even a Titled Legend wouldn't dare to provoke us."
Zheng Dong still ignored him.
If Titled Legends couldn't, then Legends could.
His goal was to become a Mythical-level beast tamer.
Would he still be afraid of the Fire God Cult then?
Zheng Dong directly ordered his pet beasts, Xiao Zi, Youyou, and Ling'er, to attack.
Hu Maoxue knew he was no match for Zheng Dong.
He also had his Mechanical Asura Spider, Mechanical Asura Wolf, and Mechanical Asura King combine to form a giant mechanical pet beast.
However, Zheng Dong did not intend to give him any face.
Zheng Dong had Ling'er release two Emperor-level light and dark elemental spirits, which quickly dealt with Hu Maoxue's mechanical pet beasts.
Next, Zheng Dong would face Cao Kang and others.
At this moment, Wudu suddenly experienced an earthquake.
The earthquake was not very strong, but everyone felt the ground shake a few times.
The cause of the earthquake was the collapse of the Bai family's backyard.
The seal broke, and the entrance to the secret realm was revealed.
Immediately after, totem-level undead and hell asuras rushed over from the异世界 (otherworld).
As for Bai Hongguang, he fled after the seal collapsed.
He was very fond of his life and held grudges.
Destroying the seal was only part of his plan.
Next, his target was Zheng Dong.
If it weren't for Zheng Dong, the Bai family would not have been so quickly encircled and suppressed by the beast-taming legions.
After all, many of the Bai family's actions were very secretive, and ordinary people did not know about them, so the impact was not very large.
The Elder Council could not find an excuse to take action against the Bai family.
Afterward, Bai Hongguang rushed towards the finals venue.
He felt that with the collapse of the seal and the arrival of a large number of undead and hell asuras, Wudu would definitely descend into chaos.
It would be easier for him to deal with Zheng Dong.
