Chapter 121: Crimson Combat Skill, Lian Xing’s 8-Win Streak!!
[Rank 7, I’ll Measure Your Code]
[VS]
[Rank 9, Get Out, Stocking Wearer]
[4v4 Hell Survival in progress]
On the Alliance Competition stage, all eyes were glued to the two figures on the screen. A golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, dressed in translucent white stockings, casually sipped her milk tea, her expression relaxed.
Moon Rabbit, the rising star of the “Measure Your Code” team, this was her ninth match in the Alliance Competition. And her opponent was a black-haired woman in white stockings. At this moment, although the black-haired woman had successfully dragged Moon Rabbit into the Monarch-Tier attack phase in the 4v4 Hell Survival, she was drenched in sweat, her expression strained, looking at the golden-haired girl as if she were a monster…
After all, in the “Measure Your Code” team’s previous match against the 5th-ranked Soul Hunters, Moon Rabbit had still managed to secure 3 points despite being hit by the Monarch-Tier attack.
She didn’t need to completely block it, just survive half a second longer than her opponent.
“…”
“…”
“The Monarch-Tier attack is coming!!!!!” the commentator shouted, his voice tense.
In the next second, the entire screen exploded…
A blinding beam of light descended from the sky.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the two participants and their pet beasts were vaporized…
The Mist Colt had simply pretended to activate its Viral Space, then canceled it after half a second, creating the illusion of its void being shattered.
Thanks to its convincing performance, it had successfully died half a second later than its opponent, turning into dust along with its master.
[“Measure Your Code” team wins, earning 3 points.]
“Whoosh, whoosh!!!”
A few seconds later, the two figures reappeared on the stage. As if nothing had happened, Lian Xing casually walked back to the “Measure Your Code” team’s waiting area, still holding her milk tea.
Seeing this, not only the eagerly waiting viewers in Baiyue Province, but even the commentator was excited.
“An 8-win streak, everyone!!!”
“Four months after her draw against the Bingqing team captain, Moon Rabbit has achieved an 8-win streak with a Mid-Tier pet beast!!!”
“The ‘Measure Your Code’ team has also climbed from 15th place to 7th, just one step away from representing the Beast Tamer Alliance in the Interdimensional Grand Finals!!!”
“And they even crushed the ‘Get Out, Stocking Wearer’ team in the…Great Lord Biluo sponsored teams’ civil war… Truly amazing!!!”
“And according to rumors, Moon Rabbit isn’t even 16 yet! How exciting…everyone~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Their team name is ‘Get Out, Stocking Wearer,’ but all their members are wearing stockings…” Lian Xing muttered, returning to her team, feeling a bit speechless…
She had been deceived by the team name.
But she didn’t regret joining the lower-ranked “Measure Your Code” team. After all, having reached this point, with a little more effort, they could reach the top five.
Having exploited the Great Lord Biluo’s wealth, she had to contribute to its sponsored team.
By the way, Lian Xing had been using the Mist Colt in all her matches. The reason the Cloud Dream Calamity could de-evolve…was simple. Just like the Heaven-Gracing Curtain could transform into the Moonlight Rabbit, and the Red Prison Palace Master could revert to the Golden Leaf, a pet beast could only switch between its current form and its Juvenile form.
Since the Cloud Dream Calamity’s initial form was the Mist Colt, it could freely transform, concealing its true strength.
Meanwhile, the black-haired woman in white stockings from the other team returned to her team with a wry smile.
“Why didn’t the Great Lord Biluo send Moon Rabbit to our team?”
“Could it be because I didn’t send it a gift last year?”
“…”
“…”
“It’s because of the team name, Vice-Captain,” one of the members said, her expression strange.
When the two teams had first appeared, they had seen the confused expression on Moon Rabbit’s face as she stared at their legs.
At the same time…
—8th-level region, Baiyue Province—
Youlan Academy had expanded to six or seven times its original size, its enrollment numbers exploding, exceeding even Tian Quan and Wind God Academy by hundreds of times.
Watching the Alliance Competition livestream every day had become a tradition in Baiyue Province.
In the Youlan Academy livestream, Chi Yan and Tao Wan, the two star students, who were now the official captain and vice-captain, were still commentating. Having been…dead weight in last year’s Baiyue Province Academy League, they had gained a large following.
At this moment, seeing Lian Xing win, Tao Wan’s face flushed with excitement.
“Lian Xing has an 8-win streak! She’s amazing~~~”
“But I wonder if she’s deliberately hiding something. Her signature Moonlight Rabbit hasn’t appeared yet…”
“Do you think she’ll use it in the later matches?”
“…”
“…”
“Perhaps the Moonlight Rabbit hasn’t mastered Awakening yet and isn’t suitable for this kind of competition~~~”
“After all, everyone knows what kind of monsters those top-ranked teams are, right?” Chi Yan said, shaking her head regretfully.
During this time, they had not only watched Lian Xing’s matches but also the matches of other teams, so they understood the power levels and the different battle styles.
Although the “Measure Your Code” team had been performing well, reaching 7th place, no one believed they could reach the top five. Because in their remaining eight matches, four of them were incredibly difficult.
The 4th-ranked team, Monday, whose captain was the pioneer of the one-person-four-roles strategy, using four pet beasts to participate in all four rounds.
The 2nd-ranked team, Inverted City, which had a perfect record against all teams except the top five.
The 1st-ranked team, Shining Girls, which had a 50-win streak in the 5v5 Siege Battle, having defeated all other teams except for one, which they had avoided.
And…
The 3rd-ranked team, Dead Ash.
The uncrowned queen of the Beast Tamer Alliance, whose fame had spread throughout countless regions. Even Tears Maiden, the recently famous prodigy who had shocked the entire pet beast world, had mentioned her in an interview.
When the Alliance Competition livestream access had first been granted, the…naive…residents of Baiyue Province had accidentally watched a Dead Ash match, after which the region had immediately banned all broadcasts of her matches.
An Ancient Species…
The people of Baiyue Province had witnessed a legendary being for the first time.
Just a descendant of an Ancient Species, a mere trace of its bloodline, was enough to shock countless regions, a true king of pet beasts.
“But maybe Little Star is just hiding her true strength. After all, we all know about that, right~~~?” Tao Wan said, her voice mysterious.
“That…what…?”
“You know…that thing… Those who know, they know…” Seeing Tao Wan’s subtle expression, Chi Yan suddenly remembered.
Half a year ago, in the Academy League, Lian Xing had suddenly unleashed…that thing…, shocking the entire Baiyue Province.
Because the news had been suppressed by the officials for so long, even they, her teammates, had forgotten.
Lian Xing still had a Legend, didn’t she!!?
A Legend versus an Ancient Species…it wasn’t impossible…
Perhaps Lian Xing would surprise everyone in the Alliance Competition~~~
Beast Tamer Alliance, Monday team’s common resting area.
At this moment, a woman with long, golden hair was luxuriating in a bathtub, her smooth, white skin like cream, her crescent moon-shaped eyes watching the large screen with interest.
Her bringing a bathtub into the team’s resting area and bathing while watching the competition…it was like taking a shit in the middle of the street…
However, several uniformed team members were diligently massaging her shoulders, pouring tea, and attending to her every need, as if she were an empress.
The captain of the Monday team, codenamed Moon Princess.
The epitome of the one-person-four-roles strategy.
No matter how the other members’ lineups changed, she had to participate in all four rounds. Even with her strength divided like this, she was still ranked fourth in the Beast Tamer Alliance, her power undeniable.
“By the way, that ‘Measure Your Code’ team has been performing well recently. Although only Moon Rabbit scored 3 points against the 5th-ranked Soul Hunters, their captain, Zi Ye, also managed to last a few minutes against the Soul Hunters captain. Truly worthy of a top ten team.”
“Princess, you’ve been watching Moon Rabbit a lot lately. Should we arrange a meeting…? We still have some Viral Species Red Quality combat skills in the team’s inventory~~~” the team member massaging Moon Princess’s shoulders asked curiously.
In the past few months, the “Measure Your Code” team’s fan base had skyrocketed, even the number of tourists visiting Bimen Pass seemed to have increased.
The Great Lord Biluo, having failed to choose a suitable candidate in its trial, had inadvertently found a rising star for its sponsored team.
Hearing this, Moon Princess narrowed her eyes.
“Heh, I’m not interested in her beauty…”
“I just want to see how long she can keep up this act…”
“…”
“…”
“Act? What act?” Ignoring her teammate’s curiosity, Moon Princess’s gaze was fixed on the golden-haired girl on the screen.
One of the Great Lord Biluo’s people…?
So…was her target that person…?
Although it was unbelievable…, Moon Rabbit had indeed reached this point with just a Mid-Tier pet beast.
Thinking of this, a subtle smile appeared on Moon Princess’s lips.
This was intriguing…
At this moment, eight matches remained in the season.
And the next match, the eighth from last, would be between the “Measure Your Code” team and the 4th-ranked Monday team!!!
After their 10:0 victory against the other team sponsored by the Great Lord Biluo, the “Measure Your Code” team held a celebratory feast in their resting room. Meanwhile, Lian Xing returned to her private room alone, picking up her Monarch Express delivery along the way.
After four months, the package from Thunder Fly had finally arrived…
This time, she had specifically prevented Thunder Fly from sending her mother…
After all, this was the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters. If a Monarch from Youyou Leize suddenly appeared, it would cause chaos.
Although this delivery was also being handled by a Monarch-Tier pet beast, it was a well-known organization that specialized in interdimensional deliveries, unlike Thunder Fly’s mother, who could just teleport directly, so it had taken over four months to reach the Beast Tamer Alliance.
“Click, click, click…”
“Whoosh!!!!!”
As Lian Xing opened the package with the Golden Leaf, three crimson lights erupted, almost blinding her.
A few seconds later, the light faded, revealing three combat skill cards at the bottom of the box, emitting a crimson glow.
[Sand Toss (Crimson): Enhances throwing power based on the pet beast’s Agility. Grants a 100x multiplier when throwing objects or tools, and a 10x multiplier when throwing Weapon Species pet beasts.]
[Star Plucker (Crimson): Concentrates all throwing power into a single projectile, its power enough to…pierce the stars. Highly effective with ball-type Weapon Species.]
[Ten Intentions Annihilation (Crimson): Prevents throwing motions from being interrupted by any injury, unless fatal. Each attack received during the throwing motion significantly increases the throw’s power.]
“…”
“…”
“Ding!!!”
[Thunder Fly: Little Star, did the package arrive? The Green Quality combat skill is still being delivered. It’ll probably take another two or three months.]
[Oh, by the way, I’m currently grounded…because I was caught selling five Monarch-Tier crystals from our family’s vault to trade for that Green Quality combat skill. My mom…beat me up~~~]
After updating the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s combat skills, Lian Xing chuckled and replied to Thunder Fly.
[Lian Xing: Received. By the way, did Ephemeral mention when the next race is?]
[Thunder Fly: She said she doesn’t want to race for now. Maybe later.]
[Lian Xing: Uh…]
During this time, Lian Xing had been having the Cloud Dream Calamity race against Ephemeral almost every week. Because Thunder Fly was now present, she hadn’t used Star Sand to cheat.
However, Ephemeral had still lost every time.
After losing over a dozen times, Ephemeral had become depressed…
And Thunder Fly, taking advantage of the situation, had been using comfort, encouragement, and self-pity… to gain Ephemeral’s favor. She had even taken Ephemeral out shopping…
“It seems Thunder Fly’s contract with Ephemeral is imminent…”
“I also have to start my final preparations…” Lian Xing looked up at the match schedule posted on the door.
Next match, the eighth from last in the season, and her tenth match since joining the league.
The Monday team, Moon Princess…!!!
