He couldn't help but want to experiment with the feasibility of the interesting tactics that had come to mind.
"This tactic seems pretty normal."
Defeating the opponent in their strongest area was the only way to show how amazing he was.
◑w◐ Winning with skill, wouldn't that show his intelligence more than just unleashing full combat power?
Shi Yu called Eleven and Buggy over.
"Next round against that Miao Xiaodong, you do this, then that, and finally this, got it?"
Eleven and Buggy nodded blankly, understanding, but not completely.
However, wasn't the name Miao Dongdong?
"That's not important." Shi Yu stuffed nutrient solutions in front of them.
Seeing the happy water, Eleven and Buggy's expressions brightened.
"Awoo woo woo woo~"
"Ji ji ji ji~"
Battles could wait, first recover the physical strength they'd consumed earlier.
Eleven picked up the happy water and chugged it down, while Buggy used its silk to make a straw…
As for Shi Yu, he looked at the small TV, paying attention to the subsequent battles.
Next, he only focused on the battles of a few victors.
Sure enough, the ones who advanced were still those few people.
As for the ranking battles of the losers' group who had lost once, he wasn't interested, the chances of encountering each other were slim.
…
Time flew by quickly again.
When Eleven and the others had overdone their replenishment, it was Shi Yu's turn to battle again.
Eleven and Buggy's faces flushed red, having eaten too many supplements at once.
Their bodies were in an extremely full state of energy…
Shi Yu's mouth was slightly agape. Even if this was the first time you were drinking nutrient solutions made from energy crystals, you didn't have to binge eat like that.
If your physical fitness isn't as good as your Beast Tamer's, don't eat things randomly.
But this wasn't a big problem, they just needed to expend a little more energy.
Buggy closed its eyes, projected two Ice Dragon babies, each doing a set of military calisthenics, and immediately recovered.
Eleven used its god-level Hardening to make a trophy, congratulating them on winning the championship in advance!
"Sigh…"
Seeing his two pets so abnormal, Shi Yu deeply reflected…
…
Inside the arena.
The audience looked at the names and portraits on the big screen with strange expressions.
This was the third round of assessment.
Iron-Eating Beast Knight, Tactical Genius Shi Yu vs the mysterious Gu Master Miao Dongdong.
They wondered what kind of sparks would fly between the two in this assessment battle.
"Although this Shi Yu isn't stable enough, his strength is really good, very promising, unfortunately, it seems he's already been reserved by Gudu University."
The recruitment teachers from other universities who had come from afar secretly lamented.
Next time they met, they might be competitors.
The conflicts between the nine major universities every year due to the allocation of educational resources were not few.
However, some consortiums found Shi Yu quite interesting.
Even if Shi Yu entered Gudu University, it wouldn't affect them from seeking cooperation with Shi Yu.
If Shi Yu became this year's top scorer in the Gudu assessment, they could directly have Shi Yu endorse a personal mechanical lightsaber pet and shoot an advertisement, wouldn't the effect be more sensational than those young idols?
On the arena stage.
Miao Dongdong, wearing clothing similar to cloth, had already walked up. After coming up, he exhaled a long breath.
Opposite him, Shi Yu also normally stepped onto the stage.
After coming up, Shi Yu kept staring at the ground, then looked at the Distortion Master.
Not bad!
Eleven had clearly smashed such a big hole, but after the Distortion Master's earth-type pet repaired it, there was no trace of a battle.
No wonder construction companies outside all hired contract earth, metal, and wood-type pets as workers.
"This kid…"
"…" The Distortion Master silently looked at Shi Yu, who was eyeing the arena stage and him with ill intentions.
He hoped that Shi Yu would battle normally next. Was it easy for him to work as a referee as a side job?
"Beep beep beep—"
After both candidates arrived at the venue and were ready, this time the Distortion Master quickly announced the start of the battle, after all, it was almost lunchtime, and everyone was hungry.
As for the outcome of this battle… many masters were still more optimistic about Shi Yu.
Now, in the eyes of these master-level Beast Tamers, the only ones who had a chance to defeat Shi Yu were Yin Zhengfan, who truly possessed a monarch-level pet, and Zhang Qianyi, who possessed violent combat talent.
As for Miao Dongdong… his Emerald Tree Python could only be considered half a monarch-level pet because it was a corpse.
On the arena stage, as the Distortion Master announced the start of the battle, Miao Dongdong's brain was once again struck by a lightning storm, his thoughts racing.
"Our advantage lies in the Emerald Tree Python's monarch shell, which is an excellent protection. Parasitized within the tree python's body, the Parasite Gu can largely be immune to mental attacks… and with the Shadow Gu and I coexisting, our mental fusion can also somewhat resist mental attacks."
In this way, one of Shi Yu's trump cards, Proficient-level Intimidation, was half-useless.
Miao Dongdong, with his brown curly hair, stood opposite Shi Yu, taking a deep breath, feeling the pressure for the first time, because the person opposite him wasn't a normal Beast Tamer.
Although, with the advantage of the Gu Master, they could minimize the possible impact of Shi Yu's Proficient-level Intimidation skill, the god-level Hardening, the Perfect-level Lightning Palm, and that strange Green Silkworm still worried him a lot.
"Let's fight!" Now that things had come to this, Miao Dongdong couldn't think too much. He looked at Shi Yu with a serious expression.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
On the arena stage, a strong wind rose, and the two summoned their pets at the same time.
After Shi Yu quietly summoned the Iron-Eating Beast and the Green Silkworm, a huge summoning array also appeared on Miao Dongdong's side.
"Roar!!!"
From within the array, a shocking roar was heard.
A green python nearly ten meters long suddenly appeared from the array, standing tall like a building, using its green pupils to look down at Eleven and Buggy on the opposite side with a shocking presence.
This was the magic of the Gu Master and the Parasite Gu. It was hard to imagine that such a "living" Emerald Tree Python was actually a corpse, with another host controlling it inside.
"First time battling a Gu Master…" Shi Yu looked at his opponent, silently checking in.
[Name]: Parasite Gu
[Attribute]: Bug
[Race Level]: High-level Transcendent
[Race Skills]: Parasitism (High-level Bug-type skill, can sneak into and control the target's body, inheriting the target's racial skills in the parasitic state, and having the ability to repair the target's injuries, and can use the parasitic shell as a protective shield, immune to most attacks.)
This skill was very strong, but it also had limitations, it could only parasitize animals, and at the same time, the original host lost its ability to grow after being parasitized.
"Roar!!!"
On the arena stage, the giant python roared, and Miao Dongdong stood not far from the giant python, returning to his previous calm expression.
On the opposite side, Eleven and Buggy were expressionless, even thinking the other party was quite fierce.
However, fierce as they were, pandas were even fiercer!
"(
へ´≠) Awoo!!" The little Iron-Eating Beast glared. You wanna act tough?
Boom!!
As it roared, an immense, invisible wave of air directly bloomed from Eleven's body!
Its gaze fixed on the Emerald Tree Python and Miao Dongdong himself. At this moment, the air on the arena stage began to vibrate, and the almost materialized Intimidation waves turned into a gale sweeping across the arena.
"Here it comes—"
At this moment, the Emerald Tree Python's body suddenly froze, and the shadow under Miao Dongdong's feet instantly disappeared, merging with his body, and strange black tattoos appeared on Miao Dongdong's body.
Buzz!
The mental storm swept over, Miao Dongdong gritting his teeth, feeling the dizziness in his brain, instinctively clenched his fists, and then, smiled.
Likewise, the Emerald Tree Python quickly shook its head, its gaze gradually clearing, and roared.
"Roar!!!"
"So-so!!"
Faced with the terrifying Intimidation waves, Miao Dongdong was covered in sweat, but he quickly stabilized and recovered, and the Parasite Gu within the Emerald Tree Python had obviously withstood this terrifying mental impact under the protection of the monarch shell.
"Next, it's our turn to counterattack."
Miao Dongdong raised his hand, and countless shadows appeared out of thin air, about to converge into a ball, which was one of the Shadow Gu's abilities, Shadow Ball.
At this time, the Emerald Tree Python's body also swayed slightly, making an attacking posture, revealing its fangs.
This was the first time Shi Yu and the others had encountered an opponent who, despite being affected by Eleven's Intimidation, could still continue to attack.
Sure enough, the noob-stomping skill Intimidation immediately became less omnipotent when encountering a slightly stronger opponent.
"Holding, held on!!"
"Miao Dongdong is awesome."
"You're the first to prevent the Iron-Eating Beast Knight from showing off."
As Miao Dongdong and his pet resisted the Intimidation, a wave of cheers erupted from the spectator stands.
Many people's eyes lit up, feeling that this battle would be very exciting.
Those master-level Beast Tamers also showed appreciative expressions towards Miao Dongdong.
The Shadow Gu and the Parasite Gu were only two Transcendent-level Gu worms, but they could be developed to this extent by Miao Dongdong. He and Shi Yu were simply the two most inspiring candidates in this assessment.
However, at this time, perhaps only a few people realized the seriousness of the problem.
"What are you guys shouting for… do you even have any insight? That was just one layer of Intimidation, the Bug God hasn't even made a move yet." In the spectator stands, a pair of cousins stared at Buggy, who was starting to close its eyes, feeling that things weren't that simple.
This Intimidation didn't seem to be trying to kill the opponent in one shot… but… trying to attract attention!
Sure enough, soon, someone noticed Buggy, who had closed its eyes.
This had already become the sign of Buggy's rampage.
"Look quickly."
"On the Emerald Tree Python's head!"
At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that the Green Silkworm was clearly still lying on the Iron-Eating Beast's shoulder.
However, another identical Green Silkworm had appeared on the Emerald Tree Python's head!
Just like how it materialized dragon might in the first assessment and materialized wings in the second assessment, this time, the Green Silkworm materialized a projection of itself!
"What?"
At this time, feeling the change, the Emerald Tree Python and Miao Dongdong were stunned.
"Roar!!!"
The Emerald Tree Python was still stupidly opening its mouth wide, and the next moment, the Green Silkworm on its head directly bent its body, rotating three hundred and sixty degrees, diving into the Emerald Tree Python's mouth like a fancy dive.
This scene directly stunned everyone.
"Holy crap."
Everyone showed a dumbfounded expression.
"(⊙﹏⊙) Uh…" The Emerald Tree Python also felt that something was wrong.
Miao Dongdong: d(ŐдŐ๑)? What the heck!
Miao Dongdong himself was a little dazed, not knowing what it meant.
Was it trying to launch an attack from inside the tree python?
But the tree python had the Poison-type Stomach Acid skill, which could even corrode gold and stone!
Suicide?
As Miao Dongdong didn't understand, the next moment, he saw the Emerald Tree Python suddenly widening its eyes, making a vomiting motion, and then showing an even more painful expression—
"Roar!!"
Its body began to twitch crazily.
Inside the Emerald Tree Python.
Swish!
The Green Silkworm phantom erupted with countless silk threads, making the silk threads stab into the Emerald Tree Python's body like the hair of a mad lion.
Glug~
The surging stomach acid met the silk threads, constantly corroding, but the strong corrosive effect couldn't cause any damage to the level-less silk threads.
Instead, these silk threads, one by one, like small living beings, had their own consciousness, launching a fierce attack on the Emerald Tree Python from within!
Max-level silk threads were definitely a product that no one understood, not even legendary Beast Tamers.
The parasitic thread effect derived from the max-level silk threads, which even the god-level silk threads didn't possess, was only mastered by Shi Yu's Buggy!
At this moment, no one knew what was happening.
They only knew that Shi Yu seemed to be planning to attack from inside the tree python, and it seemed to be working.
"Despicable city people."
Miao Dongdong, who came from the countryside, immediately remembered the warnings his grandmother in the clan gave him, and his eyes turned red.
Feeling the Parasite Gu's cry for help, he couldn't bear it. He quickly looked towards Eleven and the Green Silkworm, and shadows instantly appeared under his feet and suddenly lengthened!
He wanted to use another skill of the Shadow Gu, Shadow Control, to immobilize the little Iron-Eating Beast. At the same time, the Shadow Ball in his hand had also been condensed and was suddenly thrown towards the Green Silkworm.
Although he didn't know what was happening now, defeating the Green Silkworm was always right—
Swish!
The Shadow Ball smashed towards Eleven and Buggy like a black meteor, but Eleven didn't even intend to move.
Shi Yu: "Emerald Tree Python, block the attack!"
Shi Yu, as the Beast Tamer, appropriately issued instructions to his pet.
At this moment, the huge Emerald Tree Python suddenly suppressed the shadow created by the Shadow Gu. At the same time, it used its huge body to block in front of the Shadow Ball!
Miao Dongdong: ???
Everyone: ???
Boom!!!
The Shadow Ball smashed into the Emerald Tree Python's body, and the Emerald Tree Python's eyes glowed. Its huge body only had a little skin scratched off, a light injury to the point where it couldn't be lighter. This was the power of a monarch-level body, even without using moves, it could have an extremely strong presence.
Everyone's mouths were slightly open.
It was strong, but something must have gone wrong—
Why, why was this Emerald Tree Python listening to Shi Yu's orders, helping the Iron-Eating Beast and the Green Silkworm block damage!!!
"Could it be the legendary parasitism bug??"
"No, impossible!" Miao Dongdong was completely dumbfounded.
And asked the Parasite Gu what was going on.
At this time, inside the Emerald Tree Python's body, in a small room, the Parasite Gu, whose main body was only a High-level Transcendent race and didn't have any other awesome skills, looked at the active silk threads surrounding it. Did it dare to move?
The only Stomach Acid skill that could attack the invaders in its body was ineffective against this silk thread. Did it dare to move???
"Ji!!!" The silk threads made an excited sound.
"Ji!!!" The Parasite Gu let out a chicken-like scream.
Don't come over—
What the heck was this!!
Was it the parasite, or was the Green Silkworm the parasite!!
Why could this guy's silk threads have their own consciousness, invading this place and controlling the tree python's actions!!
This was unscientific!! The Parasite Gu shouted to the Beast Tamer through the contract, unscientific—
Miao Dongdong: ◐△◑
Miao Dongdong was dumbfounded.
Outside, everyone was stunned.
Including the master-level Beast Tamers, looking at the Emerald Tree Python that was helping the little Iron-Eating Beast block attacks, they didn't know what had happened.
On the arena stage, after helping the little Iron-Eating Beast block the attacks, the Emerald Tree Python slowly leaned over, approaching the little Iron-Eating Beast and its companion.
Then, under everyone's incredible gaze, the little Iron-Eating Beast, carrying the Green Silkworm, climbed onto the Emerald Tree Python's huge body, transforming into a python-riding panda.
Pa!
Riding on the tree python, Eleven's god-level Hardening activated, immediately wrapping a powerful armor around the tree python!
Compared to the Parasite Gu's Parasitism skill, Buggy's parasitic thread still had many shortcomings, such as only being able to control actions, but not being able to inherit moves. Therefore, to have stronger output, it could only rely on Eleven's Hardening.
"Ying!!"
"Ji!!"
With everything completed, the tree python and Eleven glared at the tiny, helpless, pitiful, and confused Miao Dongdong on the opposite side.
Miao Dongdong subconsciously took a step back, his expression sluggish.
"This is impossible, impossible."
"How could it be…"
"What did you guys do…"
Shi Yu silently looked at the little Gu Master on the opposite side whose expression was starting to go wrong.
His psychological endurance wasn't good.
"It's nothing, it's just that the Green Silkworm hijacked your Parasite Gu into Bug Matter."
"So, now the one controlling the Emerald Tree Python's shell is the Green Silkworm."
"Don't worry, we'll return it to you after the battle is over."
God damn Bug Matter.
At this moment, looking at the changes on the field, the Distortion Master was once again in chaos. His professionalism as a referee seemed to be a bit lacking again. He didn't know what had happened.
He always felt that Shi Yu was talking nonsense, but he couldn't refute it.
Everyone's mouths were slightly open, looking at the changes on the field. What the hell was going on again.
The battle was going in an unscientific, abnormal direction again! What were all those messy ghost skills of Shi Yu's pets!
Miao Dongdong: (pД`q。)·。Ah!
At this moment, Miao Dongdong took another step back, widening his eyes.
He was the most confused.
Human, human words?
Get out, are you the Gu Master, or am I the Gu Master!
He looked at the approaching green giant python and was a little silly.
The Parasite Gu and the Emerald Tree Python were his trump cards, and the Shadow Gu was an auxiliary that existed to protect him. Now that the trump card had betrayed him, how could he fight, how could he fight anything.
Many examinees silently looked at Miao Dongdong, who was retreating helplessly.
A good genius, but as soon as he met Shi Yu, why did he become like this again? Who was the last one?
Somewhere, Yu Shu, Fang Ji, and others all turned dark. Oh no, it was over, another examinee was about to go crazy. This Shi Yu was definitely not normal!!!
It was suggested that he not participate in other competitions in the future!!! He was deliberately here to mess with other people's minds!!
