Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 331: Eleven, Exhausted
As Karen's Steel Bull King was so easily defeated by his opponent, his four teammates stood up abruptly.
On the rostrum, the two legendary figures from Minghua were also surprised and looked at Chairman Xia and Director Zhong.
They knew Karen's strength and the Steel Bull King's strength. If the opponent had used a powerful super-tier skill to win against the Steel Bull King, they wouldn't have been surprised.
But, relying solely on physical strength to withstand a super move and sending the enemy flying like it was nothing, was this something a bear cub barely over a meter tall could do?
Even the Vajra Dragon King of a quasi-mythical race wouldn't have such physical power at the Sovereign level, right?
"Is he really only ranked 22nd?" Legendary Katavi questioned.
She had analyzed the five contestants with her teammates yesterday, saying that Shi Yu wasn't important, and the main threats were Zheng Hai and Zou Yun, but who would have thought that Shi Yu would be so strong!
Even a fellow quasi-legendary figure would have to use their talent to defeat the Steel Bull King so easily, and Shi Yu's side not only had a negligible beast-taming talent... but also only used a low-level skill. This was too outrageous.
"He is indeed 22nd, but this ranking is also related to the fact that he has hardly participated in ranking battles, so the Sequence Competition Committee couldn't determine his full strength," Director Zhong said, twitching his mouth.
They in Dong Huang didn't engage in any ranking fraud, don't misunderstand!
It was purely that Shi Yu hadn't seriously participated in any ranking battles since he signed up!
This ranking was still based on the National Competition.
National Competition...
Speaking of the National Competition...
Director Zhong and Chairman Xia were silent for a moment, suddenly realizing that the Iron-eating Beast at this time was still in its restrained form, and the infinite power within it hadn't erupted at all!
The guests from Minghua were restricted from accessing the internet and didn't know the situation, but they had personally seen the Nine Li form of this Iron-eating Beast during the National Competition after it had grown to a hundred meters tall, wielding the power of thunder!
Hey hey hey... just how strong is this Iron-eating Beast?
Chairman Xia and Director Zhong also wanted to know.
Unfortunately, during the National Competition, Principal Feng revealed that Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast was a re-evolution of the Nine Li War Beast, a quasi-mythical race, but more information was not disclosed at all. This was a top state secret.
"I see."
The two legendary figures from Minghua looked grim and continued to watch, not quite believing this explanation.
Right now.
Karen was extremely nervous, unsure if his teammates were setting him up or not. Was this definitely the weakest beast tamer on the other side???
If Shi Yu, the lowest-ranked beast tamer among those seven, had this strength, how terrifying would the others be?
"Woo~~~~"
Instantly.
The figure of the Steel Bull King disappeared, and a larger creature appeared on the field. It was a giant elephant five meters tall, covered in gold-green rust, with metallic colors forming irregular patterns on its body.
Rumble.
As soon as it appeared, its thick, long trunk, like a steel bar, slammed towards Eleven. This strike was as heavy as ten thousand jun, like a collapsing mountain, the sky falling, and the air instantly howled.
The Minghua audience naturally recognized this pet beast. It was Karen's second main force, the Golden Mountain King Elephant of a quasi-overlord race, mastering a proficient super-tier skill, which it was currently using. Its normal energy value was as high as 3 million, and it could exceed 7 million after being strengthened by the beast-taming talent, plus its unparalleled power...
However.
Karen still didn't realize the difference. After five level-eight metal resources, including a demigod fragment, strengthened Eleven, its current normal energy value exceeded 6 million. In addition, its physique, trained by Hundred Refinements into Steel and Steel Muscles and Iron Bones, had physical strength comparable to a proficient super-tier skill!
With this overall attribute, against the Golden Mountain King Elephant, even if it didn't use any skills, it could fight evenly. If it wanted to win, it didn't even need to evolve, it just needed to stack a skill on top of its existing power.
Like Harden, which was still at max level.
Eleven looked at the incoming trunk, its eyes flashed, and its fist was filled with black metallic luster. Still in the form of an ordinary Iron-eating Beast, it punched the incoming elephant trunk!!
"Awoo!!"
Harden · Impact!
Boom!!!
Eleven condensed its power and punched out. At this time, the trunk was still a few meters away from hitting Eleven, but with a loud noise, the Golden Mountain King Elephant felt a terrifying force. Its trunk instantly twisted in mid-air, a devastating power emerged, and Eleven's fist wind swallowed the Golden Mountain King Elephant's shrinking pupils, then spread into the distance!!!
The powerful wave even stirred up a huge storm, directly lifting the cracked floor of the arena!!
Along with the incoming shockwave, the Golden Mountain King Elephant was also blown away without much surprise. Karen blocked the gale blowing towards his face with his arms in shock, watching the Golden Mountain King Elephant, which was also flying out, gradually losing his ability to think!
"It's like this again!"
As this blow was struck, Karen's throat was dry.
Of course, the Golden Mountain King Elephant's defense seemed to be stronger than the Steel Bull King's. After taking a hit, it didn't lose its ability to fight, it was just injured to some extent, wailing and rolling on the ground trying to get up.
Seeing this, the Minghua audience was speechless and looked at the small Iron-eating Beast with incredulous eyes.
"Just send out your trump card."
Shi Yu suggested, not wanting to cause too serious injuries to the opponent, just wanting them to understand the difference in strength and act quickly.
At this moment, sweat dripped from Karen's forehead, and the other Minghua contestants also had serious expressions, analyzing what to do if they encountered this strange pet beast.
"What race is this, exactly?" The Minghua contestants were solemn.
Iron-eating Beast? Impossible, Iron-eating Beasts are just a mid-level transcendent race. The pressure from this pet beast is even surpassing an overlord race!
"So strong..." Xia Qingwei said dumbfounded in the Dong Huang audience seat. Beside her, Dr. Zuo was silent and then said, "Adding the performance of this Iron-eating Beast in the National Competition, I suddenly understand why Principal Feng said that even the legendary Martial Emperor wanted this pet beast as his trump card!"
This is simply a power that insect-type pet beasts can't even dream of...
At the same time, Karen realized that the Golden Mountain King Elephant was still unlikely to be a match for this pet beast, so he didn't stubbornly fight but directly recalled the Golden Mountain King Elephant.
However, he didn't rush to summon a new pet beast but stared at the Iron-eating Beast and Shi Yu, saying:
"Before I summon my trump card, can you tell me what its race is?"
"Although it looks like an Iron-eating Beast, it definitely can't be that simple."
"I heard that each of your pet beasts is from an overlord race and is very powerful. I've seen it now, so can you tell me its real race?"
The purpose of their participation in the Minghua exchange group was to see more foreign pet beasts and increase their knowledge.
A group of Minghua contestants, led by Karen, had solemn expressions. They didn't expect that just after arriving in Dong Huang, they would see a powerful pet beast they had never seen before.
"Sure."
Shi Yu had no intention of hiding it. He looked at Eleven and said, "In the past, Iron-eating Beasts were indeed just transcendent race creatures without any potential for evolution."
"However, since a genius archaeologist discovered the evolutionary method of Iron-eating Beasts, everything has changed."
"After evolution, Iron-eating Beasts are called Nine Li War Beasts, and Nine Li War Beasts can evolve again."
"Depending on the breeding method, the evolved race level is also different."
"My Iron-eating Beast has reached above the high-level overlord race and can be called a quasi-mythical race!"
"Soon, Iron-eating Beasts will become a national treasure-level creature in the Ancient Kingdom of Dong Huang, with a status comparable to dragons and phoenixes."
Eleven crossed its arms and looked proud. Buy, buy, buy, buy everything for it. It wanted to see who wouldn't choose an Iron-eating Beast as a pet beast again! Eleven seemed to still be brooding over the fact that no one bought it back then...
Karen's pupils shrank.
The Minghua contestants, audience, and even the two legendary figures all had their pupils shrink.
They wondered if they had heard wrong.
Quasi, quasi-mythical race?
This race actually doesn't exist in the evaluation system of the Beast Tamer Association of the Seven Nations Alliance. The highest race rating is just the high-level overlord race.
Only those totem-level creatures that have improved their bloodlines to the best level are qualified to be called a quasi-mythical race.
And when a breeder or a beast tamer calls a non-totem-level creature a quasi-mythical race, there is only one possibility besides bragging, and that is that its talent potential is indeed far beyond and completely surpasses ordinary overlord races.
It was a rather arrogant but confident judgment.
"High-level overlord race?" Regardless of what quasi-mythical or not, at this time, as Shi Yu said that the race level of the Iron-eating Beast had reached above the high-level overlord race, the two Minghua legendary figures were shocked. Although they were both overlord races, the gap between low-level and high-level was still very huge.
They looked at Chairman Xia and Director Zhong, who smiled faintly.
What a national treasure-level creature in the Ancient Kingdom of Dong Huang, with a status comparable to dragons and phoenixes... Shi Yu's ambition is really not small, Chairman Xia and Director Zhong thought.
Dragons and phoenixes are totems worshiped by the human race in the land of Dong Huang since the totem era...
"The Ancient Kingdom of Dong Huang... has discovered a new evolution form with high-level overlord potential again, and it's... an archaeological discovery?" Legendary Katavi was surprised. As another ancient country, how could the foundation of the Ancient Kingdom of Dong Huang be so strong? The Ancient Kingdom of Minghua hadn't discovered a new species of high-level overlord race for a long time.
"Which archaeological master is it?" Legendary Fardir from Minghua asked, they must let their archaeological team go and communicate with them.
Chairman Xia and Director Zhong: "..."
Chairman Xia: "Is there a possibility... that the genius archaeologist that Shi Yu mentioned is himself?"
The two legendary figures from Minghua: "..."
"Quasi-mythical race??"
On the other side, Karen was startled by Shi Yu's words, but soon, he grinned.
His desire to win became even stronger.
The more awesome Shi Yu said it was, the more he wanted to win against Shi Yu after two defeats.
Dong Huang's national treasure, quasi-mythical race? It would be more exciting to defeat it this way.
"Amazing, it's the first time I've heard of it."
"You are indeed very strong, but it ends here." Karen couldn't help but say.
In the last match, he would definitely win, even if it cost him his life.
"Chirp!!!~~~"
In the next moment, as golden light flashed on Karen's body, a giant bird with a wingspan of nearly ten meters appeared in the sky, casting a shadow over the sky. It had a gorgeous golden crest and golden feathers all over its body, and its posture was unparalleled. A pair of red eyes revealed the sharp gaze of a top predator!!
[Name]: Golden Winged Peng Bird
[Attribute]: Metal, Wind
[Race Level]: Low-level Overlord
[Growth Level]: Sovereign
[Energy Value]: 4.69 million
Boom!
[Energy Value]: 10 million
Karen finally sent out his trump card battle beast. The strength of this pet beast was indeed completely different from the previous two. Karen himself instantly unleashed the maximum strengthening power, sending the Golden Winged Peng Bird's energy value breaking through the 10 million mark. After kneeling twice in a row, he couldn't be crushed again this time. To save face, he would take away this "Dong Huang national treasure" no matter what!
At this moment, as Karen summoned the Golden Winged Peng Bird, Shi Yu and Eleven showed surprised looks for the first time.
He knew it, how could Minghua's super genius be as weak as before? It turned out that he still had some skills.
"This Peng bird..." As this overlord-level Peng bird appeared, Zheng Hai and Zou Yun and others in the Dong Huang contestant seat also narrowed their eyes.
If they couldn't solve the two pet beasts that Karen had sent out before as easily as Shi Yu, it wouldn't be difficult to solve them. But this golden Peng bird... They looked at the golden particles tearing the air around the Golden Winged Peng Bird and the thick aura, and immediately understood that this Golden Winged Peng Bird was definitely not on the same level as the previous two pet beasts.
It could already be called a top Sovereign.
In the field of beast taming, beast tamers called those Sovereign-level creatures whose energy level could reach 10 million after being strengthened by beast tamers or after using explosive skills top Sovereigns.
If top Masters wanted to have a chance to compete with overlord-level creatures, it would be difficult to do so without a top Sovereign in their team.
Obviously, Karen, the super genius of Minghua, could do this alone with his pet beast. He didn't need the assistance of other pet beasts and reached the top Sovereign level. In the eyes of Zheng Hai and Zou Yun, his strength was already very strong and worthy of their attention.
"Top Sovereign..."
However, although the strength of this Golden Winged Peng Bird had obviously reached the top Sovereign level, Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast couldn't possibly not be a top Sovereign.
Zheng Hai, Zou Yun, and others became solemn. The previous opponents were relatively weak, but this time, the Golden Winged Peng Bird should be significant. They wondered how much strength it could force out of Shi Yu and that Iron-eating Beast...
"Golden Winged Peng Bird, Dragon Hunt!"
The battle began, and Karen immediately opened his mouth, activating Dragon Hunt, a proficient super-tier gold and wind dual-attribute skill!
In Minghua, Golden Winged Peng Birds feed on pseudo-dragons. Even pseudo-dragons have strong physiques, so in order to hunt food smoothly, Golden Winged Peng Birds have developed the Dragon Hunt technique, which contains terrifying tearing power!!
It can tear apart the body of a dragon in an instant!
"Chirp!!!" The Golden Winged Peng Bird was like a sword hanging from the clouds, surrounded by cyan-gold intertwined giant claw phantoms. It wrapped its whole body and instantly entered the Dragon Hunt posture, turning into a golden beam of light and tearing towards Eleven on the ground!!!
Below.
Eleven was also locked on by the Golden Winged Peng Bird's perfect-level intimidation. The cracks on the surrounding ground cracked again, but Eleven was naturally unaffected by this level of intimidation. It looked at the swooping giant bird, and a trace of electricity flashed in its eyes.
"This guy..."
It wouldn't be good to just use Harden to solve it.
Let's add two more skills...
Shi Yu's thoughts fell.
Eleven "Eh" and stretched out its palm, pinching in the air.
Karen and the others' eyes flickered slightly. What kind of skill prelude was this again?
Pinching in the air...?
"It's not using the huge power and massive gold-type energy to create shockwaves..."
"Wait, this time it's not even gold-type energy!"
Suddenly, Karen noticed the blue particles permeating the sky, which were completely different from the previous power fluctuations.
"Thunder."
Karen's pupils shrank. He didn't think anything of it at first when he realized it was a thunder-type skill, but as the skill took shape, he was dumbfounded.
Crack!
In an instant, lightning filled the sky.
With a boom, almost everyone covered their ears and widened their eyes.
The Iron-eating Beast pinched in the air.
A thunderous handprint that was hundreds of meters long and wide formed almost instantly. The handprint was overwhelming, making the Golden Winged Peng Bird look extremely small in comparison!!!
Skill Near Dao Gigantification + Divine Proficiency Thunder Palm + Skill Near Dao Intimidation!!!
Profound Meaning: Divine Might Thunderous Handprint!!
It still didn't use a super-tier skill, but only relied on basic skills to form the strongest profound meaning.
Eleven released its energy and pinched towards the enemy. The Gigantified Thunder Palm and Intimidation quickly formed a terrifying thunderous handprint, appearing between the two pet beasts, causing the Golden Winged Peng Bird, which was tearing downwards, to shrink its pupils and its brain to roar instantly, as if it were in an endless sea of thunder!
The Peng Bird's perfect-level intimidation cracked instantly, and mental loopholes appeared, so its energy dissipated, and its combat power was weakened a lot in an instant. At the same time, the Dragon Hunt technique collided with the Thunderous Handprint, and the energy of both sides was compressed first, and then it burst out suddenly, but it burst out towards the Golden Winged Peng Bird!!
Boom!!!
In an instant, the huge Golden Winged Peng Bird was pinched in mid-air by the giant palm. Endless thunder gathered into a blue sphere in the sky. Then, like the explosion of a blue planet, the terrifying current instantly turned into tens of thousands of electric snakes flying in all directions. At the same time, the figure of the Golden Winged Peng Bird fell from the sky extremely weakly!!!
"Chirp!!!" In the sky, the mournful cry of the Golden Winged Peng Bird was heard!!
The scene was extremely spectacular.
The electric snakes, as magnificent as fireworks, took several seconds to dissipate.
The arena was instantly silent.
Most beast tamers recognized at a glance that this was not a single move, but a profound meaning formed by multiple moves, but...
"Step! Step!!" Karen took two steps back, his eyes exploding, but the power of this move was so incomprehensible to everyone!!!
Karen was stunned.
This is no longer about race, right?
What's going on with your profound meaning!!!
How does it feel like it's about to catch up with the effect of a perfect-level super-tier skill!!!
This is normal. After the proficiency of low-level skills is high, the effect is not necessarily much worse than that of proficient super-tier skills. What's more, it is a profound meaning formed by multiple skills... Before super-tier skills reach the perfect level, the profound meaning formed by Shi Yu's pet beasts' low-level skills can still form unparalleled dominance in terms of skills!
"Damn it, this guy."
With the appearance of this move, Zheng Hai, Zou Tianwang, and other Dong Huang contestants couldn't sit still and looked at Shi Yu in shock.
This move... this move... Even they didn't guarantee that they could take it.
The most important thing is that the Dong Huang people themselves know more about it than the Minghua contestants. Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast is still in its normal state and hasn't entered the battle state at all!!!
"Your ranking must be wrong!!"
The two legendary figures from Minghua widened their eyes and said, don't fool them.
If the 22nd-ranked young beast tamer in Dong Huang has this strength, what kind of monsters are the ones in front?
The Dong Huang people are definitely fooling them!
What's wrong with this person?
It's okay if the pet beast's race level is ridiculously high, so it has such a terrifying physique, but how can the skill proficiency not be left behind? It almost completely crushed Karen, completely crushed in all aspects. The most terrifying thing is that this guy has a telepathy talent and a non-combat-type strengthening talent!!
"It should be wrong."
"However, it will be updated soon." Director Zhong's mouth twitched.
"Other than that, can some of these Iron-eating Beasts be introduced to Minghua?"
Legendary Katavi said, but then, Director Zhong righteously refused.
"Other pet beasts are okay, but the Iron-eating Beast has been listed as a special protection species in Dong Huang, and management is very strict. Sorry."
The Iron-eating Beast is related to the stable breeding channel of overlord races, how can it be given to other countries!
Hearing this, the two legendary figures from Minghua looked grim, so stingy!
……
"Karen... lost like this?"
The same bewildered were the Minghua contestants. Seeing Karen among them being easily defeated by his opponent, each of them was extremely solemn at this moment.
They clenched their fists, and their hearts beat thump, thump, thump.
They began to feel a shadow over the words Dong Huang Beast Tamer.
Although they knew that there was some gap between Minghua and Dong Huang... was the gap... really that big?
How can a beast tamer with a telepathy talent who is less than 20 years old be so perverted!!!
What made their hearts "thump" was that Shi Yu's gaze suddenly came over, as if he was picking the next opponent. Amyri even pursed his lips, feeling that this person seemed to be looking at himself!! What does he want to do?
"Still fighting?" Shi Yu felt that the Golden Winged Peng Bird still had fighting power, but he saw that Karen himself seemed to be unable to hold on, his face was a little pale. He had strengthened three pet beasts in a row and had been completely defeated three times in a row. The last one was strengthened to the limit, and it seemed that he couldn't hold on.
He was in urgent need of supplements.
"I..." Karen gritted his teeth.
"Come down, Karen, take a rest first." On the rostrum, Legendary Katavi took a deep breath.
This legendary figure was also a little pessimistic at this time. Although the exchange hadn't ended yet, she still felt that the strength of the Minghua contestants would definitely be inferior to Dong Huang. With this kind of strength... would Minghua really participate in this World Competition?
The opponents in this World Competition are not the other six countries, who still know how to hold back, but the totem alien races that once made the seven countries breathless!
As soon as Legendary Katavi's voice fell, Karen felt a little dizzy on the arena. Although the combat-type talent was easy to use, it was indeed quite draining.
However, what was even more shocking to everyone at this time was that on the opposite side, the quasi-mythical race, "Dong Huang National Treasure" Iron-eating Beast, which had just shown great power, suddenly "turned pale" after the result of the match was announced. Its eyes wandered, and it staggered back a step in a dizzy manner, looking a little physically exhausted.
"Eh..."
Eleven looked at the girl from Minghua who had the Golden Phoenix Dragonfinch. Come on, come on, as long as you come down, it will immediately be physically exhausted and leave the field, and switch to Chi Tong. Isn't that fair enough?
Chi Tong is much weaker than it.
"That Iron-eating Beast... is physically exhausted?"
"Indeed, that move just now looked quite draining."
"Being able to deal with Karen's attack so easily, behind the calmness, there must be a huge consumption!"
The beast tamers of Minghua suddenly froze. So that's how it is, a powerful race with high consumption? That's more reasonable.
Karen also stopped, damn, was he just a little short?
"..." At that moment, looking at the Iron-eating Beast, which hadn't even broken out or evolved and was "physically exhausted", the Dong Huang beast tamers had big question marks on their heads?
What's the situation, little brother...
