Chapter 32: Super Golden Wheel!!!
Virtual Battle Space, Cloudtop Arena.
Looking at the motionless Giant Moonlight Rabbit across the 200-meter expanse of clouds, Wind God Academy #2’s expression was grim.
She seemed to be…in trouble…
No, not seemed to be. She was in trouble!
If the golden-haired girl and the Moonlight Rabbit hadn’t suddenly spaced out, she wouldn’t have even had time to heal the Cloud Chariot Wheel before being torn to shreds by those absurd Golden Wheels…
“If it were before, I would have accepted it…”
“But with the Captain watching, I don’t want to lose face~~~” With a conflicted sigh, Wind God Academy #2 raised her hand.
In the next second, two magnificent silver wings unfolded behind her, their powerful aura shaking the entire cloud sea. The silver wings beat the air, but they weren’t connected to any physical body, as if they were mere decorations.
[High-Tier — Viral Species — Silver Dream]
As the vice-captain of Wind God Academy, Wind God Academy #2 naturally had more than one High-Tier pet beast.
As the silver wings flapped, a silver light enveloped the Cloud Chariot Wheel, making it look like a divine being bathed in holy light, radiating an unparalleled aura.
[Damage Immunity]
[Increased Movement Speed]
[Increased All Resistances (Elemental, Piercing, Impact, Weakening, Debilitation, Stun, Sleep, Suppression…)]
[Omnipotence (Dark Purple): Entrance Combat Skill, randomly applies three buffs to the team’s main battle pet beast upon deployment]
Although it was a bit embarrassing to use two High-Tier pet beasts against two Mid-Tier ones, Wind God Academy #2 was determined to win today. After all, the Captain was watching…
However, she didn’t notice the mutation happening to the Golden Wheels.
In the beast taming system, many pet beasts were inherently unsuitable for combat. Even with zero stats across the board, some pet beasts could single-handedly defeat ten opponents, while others would be the weak link even in a 10v1 situation.
Like the Giant Moonlight Rabbit, in most people’s perception, it had no combat ability besides its agile ears.
But…
That was only true for Mid-Tier!!!
Once they broke through level 30 and reached High-Tier, all main battle pet beasts would transform into combat forms, becoming more adapted to fighting. This transformation was subtle and natural, not reflected in their stats.
Beast Tamers called this a “Characteristic.”
Characteristics weren’t displayed on the pet beast panel but were unique combat styles specific to each pet beast. For example, if the Giant Moonlight Rabbit reached level 30 and evolved into the Dominating Demon Rabbit instead of the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, what would be the difference between them, assuming they had the same talent, combat skills, and Arcane Arts?
The answer was — Characteristics.
When a pet beast reached level 50 and unlocked its second talent tree, the difference in Characteristics would become even more apparent.
However, at this moment…
Lian Xing, standing behind the Giant Moonlight Rabbit, clearly saw…
Without warning, the two Golden Wheels on the Giant Moonlight Rabbit’s ears changed color. One turned into a black and yellow jade-like hue, while the other gradually took on a dark red glow.
This was…a Characteristic!!!
The Golden Wheel, at just level 10, had inherited two High-Tier combat Characteristics, one of which belonged to a Super Rare evolution path…
What would happen next!?
“Whirr——”
In the next second, the Giant Moonlight Rabbit began to spin the black and yellow Golden Wheel on one of its ears. The dark red Golden Wheel remained still. It seemed it wasn’t planning to use both wheels yet…
“Boom!!!!”
At the same time, the Cloud Chariot Wheel, unable to hold back any longer, erupted with scalding steam, charging forward like a raging torrent. Empowered by the Silver Dream, its speed had almost doubled.
Like a falling comet, it tore through the clouds, arriving before the Giant Moonlight Rabbit. However, before the Moonlight Rabbit could assume a throwing stance, the Cloud Chariot Wheel drifted and flashed, shifting to the side, making it difficult for the rabbit to aim.
Seeing the Cloud Chariot Wheel closing in, the Giant Moonlight Rabbit threw the Golden Wheel without aiming properly.
“Boom——!!!!!”
In the next second, a deafening whistling sound pierced the air, a black and gold flash streaking across the sky. The thrown Golden Wheel, like a supersonic lightning bolt, grazed the Cloud Chariot Wheel’s scalp.
Even though it wasn’t a direct hit, the Cloud Chariot Wheel still stumbled, its scalp tingling, a chill running down its spine.
“What…speed is that?” Wind God Academy #2 stared blankly as the black and gold lightning bolt pierced through the clouds.
The initial launch speed alone was more than three times faster than before.
If that thing had been aimed properly, how could anyone dodge it? It was just a Mid-Tier Weapon Species, but she felt like she was facing a powerful enemy of the same tier…
[First Speed Arcane Art]
[Topaz (Mutation): Greatly increases rotation speed when moving faster]
Greatly increases. This wording was rarely seen in early-stage Arcane Arts. Even many pet beasts with 5th or 6th level Arcane Arts only had “significantly increases.” “Greatly increases” was already exceeding expectations…
“But, luckily it missed…”
“This is the end!!!” Wind God Academy #2 wiped the cold sweat from her brow, sighing in relief.
The Cloud Chariot Wheel was now less than 10 meters away from the Giant Moonlight Rabbit, leaving no room for another throw.
The battle…was over…
“Boom!!!!!”
In the next second, a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, shook the sky. Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, the black and gold light descended from the sky, returning to the Giant Moonlight Rabbit’s ear even faster than before, its momentum like thunder and lightning.
The impact of the explosion sent the Giant Moonlight Rabbit sliding back four or five meters before it regained its footing, the ear holding the black and yellow Golden Wheel trembling slightly. The sheer power of that throw was evident, even the rabbit itself almost failed to catch it.
Then—
A moment passed.
With the Cloud Chariot Wheel as the center…
A black and gold arc bisected the entire cloud sea map.
[Topaz Double Wheel (Characteristic): Can change its trajectory once during flight by activating a burst of speed.]
