Chapter 116: Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, An Instant Hit!!

“Boom!!!!”

Under the incredulous gazes of the Alliance audience, a deafening explosion echoed as the matter and Pet Essence within the void shattered. The Mist Colt, transformed into a stream of green flames, burst out, returning to the golden-haired girl’s side, swirling around her like a protective aura.

Seeing this, the entire battle stage fell silent.

Even the Baiyue Province livestream chats were filled with silence.

Normally, the streamers should be explaining the battle mechanics at this point, but not only the Ten Greats of Baiyue Province, but even Xiao Jie, the former professional commentator from the Alliance Competition, was speechless.

A Mid-Tier pet beast blocking a Royal-Tier pet beast’s Crimson Quality combat skill… how could they even explain this?

This was defying the laws of nature…!!!

The Alliance Competition livestream chat exploded.

“If I’m not mistaken, there was a red glow around that Mist Colt, right!?”

“This Moon Rabbit…she equipped a Mid-Tier pet beast with a Red Quality combat skill!!!”

“Did you see the Mist Colt’s terrifying speed in the void? I can’t imagine how fast it would be in reality!!!”

“I’m doomed…I think I’m becoming a fan of this newcomer…time to spend money…”

“Release a life-size, usable Moon Rabbit doll already! ?????????”

Lian Xing’s debut had truly made a splash…

The Mist Colt, a Mid-Tier pet beast, blocking a Royal-Tier Sunburst Ray’s Crimson Quality combat skill, it instantly triggered a wave of comments from the authorized Alliance Competition streamers, the discussion far surpassing the initial negativity surrounding her bizarre lineup.

In the Dead Ash team’s resting room, the members were also dumbfounded. Their entire strategy revolved around the final 5v5 Siege Battle. So, unless they adjusted their lineup, even they couldn’t withstand a Royal-Tier pet beast’s third-stage attack.

However…

A mere Mid-Tier pet beast had actually survived?

They couldn’t imagine how strong it would become if it evolved further…!?

Meanwhile, as the viewers were still in an uproar…

As the scorching heat in the battlefield dissipated, a figure resembling a snowball rolled out from the flames.

The Freezing Point Coagulation was also still alive!!!

Everyone suddenly remembered.

Because the Mist Colt’s performance had been so shocking, they had forgotten that the Bingqing team captain had a 35% chance of surviving this round, based on her battle data. Although it had been hit by the Crimson Quality combat skill, it had survived, just like the Mist Colt, thanks to its unique survival abilities.

Otherwise, with just this level of strength, it wouldn’t have specialized in Hell Survival…

A few seconds later, the girl with ice-blue hair also emerged from the flames. She looked at the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, her expression serious.

“You’re strong. To be able to drag me into a draw…only the members of the top ten teams can do that…”

“Moon Rabbit, I’ll remember you!!”

“…”
“…”

A draw?

Lian Xing blinked, confused.

Was there no continuation…?

Was a draw automatically declared at this stage?

In the next second, as a red light suddenly enveloped the entire space, Lian Xing understood what the ice-blue-haired girl meant.

“Boom!!!!!”

As a terrifying aura erupted, the entire space collapsed, turning into dust. At this moment, the concepts of distance and space vanished. No matter how far apart Lian Xing and the Bingqing team were, they were all simultaneously defeated.

This incomprehensible attack, as if from another dimension—

This was…

Monarch-Tier!!!

Normally, if their positions were different, there would be a sequence to their deaths. Even with a wide-range AOE attack from above, the shorter ones would likely be considered dead last…

But this didn’t apply to Monarch-Tier beings.

A Monarch-Tier pet beast’s attack would compress the scale of their bodies by a factor of trillions, even surpassing the virtual mode’s size limitations, making everyone equal…

So that’s it… Lian Xing thought as her consciousness was being transferred.

After the Crimson Quality combat skill, it was immediately followed by a Monarch-Tier attack?

In that case, a draw was indeed the most likely outcome.

Before a Monarch-Tier pet beast’s perspective and power, even the Mist Colt’s speed and Shared Travel depth were meaningless.

Unless…

“…”
“…”
“Whoosh!!!”

A few seconds later, their consciousness returned.

As Lian Xing slowly opened her eyes, she and the Bingqing team captain were back on the center stage. Their scores were both zero.

A draw!!!

Although Lian Xing hadn’t scored any points, she had dragged the Bingqing team, specialists in Hell Survival, into a Monarch-Tier round, resulting in a stalemate…

“Moon Rabbit, the rising star of the ‘Measure Your Code’ team, she actually made the Bingqing team captain fail…in her debut match!!!”

“By the way, the ‘Measure Your Code’ team captain’s expression was so grim before. Who was she trying to impress?”

“But now…Moon Rabbit’s name has officially spread throughout the Alliance Competition~~~~”

“I’m also looking forward to Moon Rabbit’s future performance~~~” As Xiao Jie, the commentator, chattered excitedly, the Bingqing team captain returned to her team, her expression grim.

And Lian Xing, turning around, saw the strange mixture of awe, admiration, and shock in the eyes of her “Measure Your Code” teammates. Even the pink-haired girl with buns, who had been so rude to her before, now looked at her with worship…

“Moon Rabbit, I misjudged you… I didn’t expect…”

“No, even after seeing it with my own eyes, it’s still unbelievable. Equipping a Mid-Tier pet beast with a Red Quality combat skill…what were you thinking…!!!”

“Oh, by the way, my codename is Mianyang (Sheep). You can call me Xiao Yang (Little Sheep). Can I call you Bunny?”

“No,” Lian Xing shook her head decisively.

“Then…Tutu Tutu Tutu Tutu Tutu…?”(Bunny)

“Also no.”

“…”
“…”

Just then, Black Magpie, the woman with long, black hair, walked over and said to Lian Xing gently, “I have a lot to say, but the next round is about to start. We’ll talk later~~~”

With that, Black Magpie walked towards the center of the stage, followed by the captain with the purple scorpion braid, who nodded at Lian Xing.

Clearly, after this battle, Lian Xing’s status within the “Measure Your Code” team had risen significantly.

If the captain herself had participated in this round, she wouldn’t have been able to block that Royal-Tier pet beast’s Crimson Quality combat skill. Although defensive and survival abilities didn’t necessarily translate to strong offensive power…

At least in this dog-eat-dog world, facing the indiscriminate AOE attacks of powerful pet beasts, being able to survive was a valuable trait.

As Black Magpie, the captain, and another teammate were teleported onto the map…

Lian Xing looked at the pink-haired girl with buns curiously.

“Xiao Yang, can anyone withstand that final Monarch-Tier attack?”

“…”
“…”
“Final?” Hearing this, the pink-haired girl’s eyes lit up, and she shook her head mysteriously.

“No, no, that’s not the final attack. For the 1st, 2nd, and 4th ranked teams, that’s just the beginning~~~”

“Those three teams, unlike the Dead Ash team, don’t just focus on the Siege Battle. Their captains will randomly appear in any round except the 1v1 Single Pet Battle. So, if they happen to be in the 4v4 Hell Survival, it’s not uncommon for them to endure the Monarch-Tier attack until the fourth or fifth stage.”

“I see…” Lian Xing nodded thoughtfully.

Withstanding so many Monarch-Tier attacks…?

It seemed that besides Dead Ash, there were other incredibly strong players in the Beast Tamer Alliance.

---

---

Baiyue Province.

After Lian Xing’s draw against the Bingqing team captain in her debut match, the entire region was in an uproar.

Facing a Crimson Quality combat skill, an attack they couldn’t even comprehend, Lian Xing’s new pet beast, the Mid-Tier Mist Colt, had actually survived. Just how much stronger had she become in these two short months!!!

Lian Xing’s mommy fans, power fans, girlfriend fans, and…obsessive fans were all celebrating.

But most of the Ten Greats and star players remained silent.

It was terrifying…

The level of competition in the 2nd-level region’s league was beyond their comprehension…

And Lian Xing had actually managed to make a name for herself in such an environment…it was unbelievable…

Now…they could barely even see Lian Xing’s shadow…

At the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association branch, the golden fox, watching the radiant golden-haired girl on the livestream, couldn’t stop trembling.

“Lian Xing…you’ve become this strong…?”

“No wonder you looked down on me…” The little fox’s face, despite its excitement, held a hint of bitterness.

It had been the one who provided Lian Xing with the Mist Colt’s location information~~~

Meanwhile, in Youlan Academy—

Chi Yan and Tao Wan, watching the comments flooding the livestream, could barely contain their smiles.

“Lian Xing actually managed to achieve a draw against an opponent of that level with a Mid-Tier pet beast. I bet those 2nd-level region viewers are shocked…”

“At least…more shocked than we are!!!”

“I wonder if Lian Xing’s follower count will surpass 10 billion? Then our Youlan Academy will also be famous…~~~” Chi Yan said excitedly.

“Don’t be silly. They’re all using virtual accounts to protect their personal and regional information,” Tao Wan said, interrupting Chi Yan’s fantasy.

Revealing regional information wasn’t a good thing.

Wasn’t it common in novels? Something that would only result in a family feud in Baiyue Province might destroy an entire region in a 2nd-level region~~~

However, just as the Baiyue Province fans were celebrating Lian Xing’s performance…

Silently, in the 5v5 Siege Battle, something unbelievable happened.

“—Awakening—”

As Black Magpie’s cold voice echoed…

The Wing-Hiding Black Sky, its massive body circling high above, suddenly disintegrated into countless black feathers. Then, a black shadow, its speed surpassing even light, began slaughtering the wild pet beasts around the city, its form too fast to see, leaving only trails of blood and gore.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

The black shadow zipped between the five entrances of the city, from south to north, then east to west, its movements a blur, leaving a trail of carnage.

Under the shocked gazes of the Baiyue Province viewers, it had single-handedly cleared all five spawn areas!!!

Lian Xing’s teammate was so strong…!!!

Meanwhile, facing this situation, the “Measure Your Code” team captain simply gave up, not even bothering to attack.

And the Bingqing team had completely collapsed, offering only token resistance with their Commander-Tier pet beasts.

Their captain wasn’t even playing. What was the point? No one else on their team could activate Awakening…

“Black Magpie, worthy of being the first to have both mother and daughter participate in the competition. Mommy is so strong!!!”

“It seems the Bingqing team has completely given up. But they didn’t even score in the 4v4 round. They must be confused…~~~”

“…”
“…”

Three minutes later, the awakened Wing-Hiding Black Sky quickly shredded all the wild pet beasts on its side, then, enveloped in a white light, teleported to the Bingqing team’s city and began its massacre.

The people in Baiyue Province, witnessing Awakening for the first time, were shocked…

This terrifying pressure was comparable to the Sunburst Ray’s Crimson Quality combat skill…

In the White Maple Academy livestream, Xiao Kui, looking at the participant’s information, was dumbfounded.

“Black Magpie, 27 years old, two years younger than Baoyu Shuitianliang…”

“Are all the battles in the 2nd-level region…like this…?”

“Lian Xing has truly entered a different world…” Xiao Kui muttered, her voice filled with awe.

Because she had been bullied by Lian Xing several times, she had a bias against her.

She would even fantasize about tying up and humiliating Lian Xing while studying human anatomy at night.

But no matter how much she disliked Lian Xing, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration for her strength.

At this moment, after briefly checking the participant’s information, Xiao Kui scrolled through the season’s match schedule.

According to the data, there were 17 matches remaining in this season.

The “I’ll Measure Your Code” team was currently ranked 15th.

If the 15th-ranked team was this strong…how powerful were the top ten teams…?

Xiao Kui, her heart filled with a mix of emotions, scrolled through the schedule and noticed a few upcoming matches.

[“I’ll Measure Your Code” Team Schedule]

10 matches later, versus the 4th-ranked team, [Monday].

11 matches later, versus the 2nd-ranked team, [Inverted City].

14 matches later, versus the 1st-ranked team, [Shining Girls].

And…

The 17th match, the final match of the season…

Versus the 3rd-ranked team, Dead Ash…

Chapter 115: Mist Colt’s Explosive Power, Crimson Combat Skill!

In the 4v4 Hell Survival, as the Sunburst Ray’s attack swept across the map, even the two support Royal-Tier pet beasts of the Bingqing team were vaporized. And on the “Measure Your Code” team’s side, the girl with pink, bun-shaped hair wasn’t doing much better. Her main battle pet beast, a pink, cloud-like sheep, a Biological Species, had only managed to last a few seconds longer despite its best efforts.

But this was to be expected.

After all, this mode was called “Survival,” which meant—

The NPC’s attacks were incredibly strong for their tier!!!

Unless you specialized in defense, there was no way to withstand them!!

However…

A few seconds later, as the smoke cleared…

The two members of the Bingqing team were completely unharmed!! Facing the devastating Sunburst Ray, not only the Bingqing captain’s Freezing Point Coagulation, but even the other member’s ice shield Weapon Species hadn’t suffered any damage.

Seeing this, the viewers were amazed.

A Mid-Tier Mist Colt, facing a Royal-Tier attack, had somehow managed to survive alongside the other three Royal-Tier pet beasts.

This indirectly proved the strength of the “Measure Your Code” team’s new member.

But… a mere Mid-Tier newborn easily blocking a Commander-Tier attack was extraordinary…

“…”
“…”
“It seems…the Great Lord Biluo had its reasons~~~” Black Magpie of the “Measure Your Code” team said, her voice filled with surprise.

Meanwhile, the captain with the purple scorpion braid also nodded thoughtfully. She had a general idea of the Great Lord Biluo’s intentions.

The Great Lord knew that their 4v4 Hell Survival team was weak, so it had sent them a seed with great defensive potential to improve their overall performance. As long as this Mist Colt evolved, Moon Rabbit could lead the “Measure Your Code” team to greater heights.

Good thing I sent the Great Lord Biluo the latest electronic devices as a gift last year…

“Whoosh——!!”

However…

In the next second, a sound like wind tearing through the clouds echoed.

Under the incredulous gazes of the audience…

A golden-haired girl, enveloped in a green mist, emerged from the corner of the dark space. Under everyone’s gaze, green, ethereal flames flickered around her body, and her twinkling starry eyes seemed to hold a thousand stars…

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.

The viewers from various regions, the participants on stage, even the commentator and the residents of Baiyue Province, all stared at the golden-haired girl, dumbfounded.

Moon Rabbit…

She was still here…?

This meant—

The Mist Colt…was still alive!!!

A mere Mid-Tier pet beast had actually blocked an attack that even a Royal-Tier pet beast couldn’t withstand!?

“…”
“…”
“W-What’s going on? Moon Rabbit’s Mist Colt isn’t dead!?”

“How is that possible!!!” Xiao Jie, the commentator, exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief.

Many of the participants also reacted, their expressions filled with shock.

The pink-haired girl with curly hair, Lian Xing’s teammate, also stared at the screen, her mouth agape.

And in the Baiyue Province livestreams, the commentators, the star players, were speechless.

What…what was the principle behind this…?

Even the former professional commentator from the 2nd-level region didn’t understand, so they, with their limited knowledge, naturally couldn’t comprehend it.

---

---

Meanwhile, in the training room of the Dead Ash team, the third-ranked team in the Beast Tamer Alliance…

The Dead Ash members had been discussing the artistic performance of the “Measure Your Code” team’s new member.

But now, seeing this scene, they all froze, their expressions stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.

“How is this possible?”

“A Mid-Tier pet beast against a Royal-Tier…is that even allowed…?”

“Is it a…bug…?”

“No, look at her smug expression! She planned this! She deliberately trolled the Bingqing team!!!”

“…”
“…”
“Just a simple Shared Travel,” the grey-haired girl on the sofa said casually, her voice flat, her eyes empty.

Dead Ash, the captain of the Dead Ash team. She held a small, blue, goat-headed deer-like creature in her arms, gently stroking its scales, seemingly not paying attention to the battle on the screen.

However, hearing her words, the Dead Ash team’s vice-captain suddenly understood. She looked at the golden-haired girl on the screen, her expression filled with awe.

“A…high-purity…Shared Travel?”

“That’s absurd…”

“Normally, a Mid-Tier Viral Species can’t even learn Shared Travel, let alone bring its master along!!”

Yes, the Mist Colt could have simply teleported by itself, but both it and Lian Xing were participating in this mode for the first time and had subconsciously forgotten that the Beast Tamers were protected… They had instinctively activated Shared Travel the moment the attack arrived.

Normally, Shared Travel would hinder the teleportation distance, but the Mist Colt, even with Lian Xing as a burden, had somehow managed to achieve a level of viralization that far exceeded the Sunburst Ray’s penetration power.

In the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition, any Beast Tamer with even a little common sense knew that although Viral Species were suitable for 4v4 Hell Survival, mindlessly using Shared Travel wouldn’t guarantee victory. Because, against a Royal-Tier NPC’s attack, an ordinary Viral Species’s void would be instantly broken.

Whether the NPC was a Viral Species or not, the result was the same. Because the essence of a void was still Pet Essence.

When the surrounding Pet Essence was crushed, the void would collapse.

Unless…

Its purity was so high that the void’s collapse speed couldn’t keep up!!

…

…

On the battlefield, the Bingqing team captain also stared at the golden-haired girl in disbelief. However, she quickly regained her composure.

As a fellow Viral Species specialist, she had seen through the opponent’s limit…

No matter how deep the Mist Colt’s Shared Travel was, it couldn’t possibly block her next attack!!!

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

A few seconds later, the Sunburst Ray began to evolve again. A red halo appeared on the surface of the viral energy sun. If the previous attack had been just a normal attack, then this was its ultimate…

Red Quality combat skill, activated!!!

At this moment, a massive amount of red energy converged, compressing and collapsing, even the Pet Essence in the dark space seemed on the verge of imploding…

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, two beams of light erupted from within the sun, their speed like lightning, instantly piercing through the ice shield and the golden-haired girl’s body.

The holy light and the barriers covering the ice shield instantly shattered like paper. The shield itself trembled violently from the impact.

However, it held.

Although its surface had dimmed, its life crystal, deep within, was unharmed.

Meanwhile, on Lian Xing’s side…

Facing the sudden Red Quality combat skill, the Mist Colt’s Shared Travel seemed to have been a step too slow, its body exploding at the entrance of the void.

However, a few seconds later, before the Bingqing team members could even celebrate…

“Whoosh—”

A cloud of mist erupted from behind the golden-haired girl.

The Mist Colt, having completed a full Shared Travel, reappeared from a different angle.

[Refracted Light (Dark Gold): Creates an illusory image of the user traveling through the void, concealing its aura, making it difficult to detect.]

From the beginning, the Sunburst Ray’s target had been fake…

Its Red Quality combat skill had missed!!!

What the…?

Seeing the unharmed Mist Colt, the outside world was in an uproar again.

And the Bingqing team captain’s expression finally changed, staring at the Mist Colt’s ethereal, flame-like form in disbelief, cold sweat dripping from her brow.

She had been participating in 4v4 Hell Survival for years, but she had never been so flustered…

A Mid-Tier pet beast blocking a Royal-Tier pet beast’s Red Quality combat skill…this was unnatural. Were there even rules in this world anymore!?

And then—

As the Sunburst Ray’s attack dissipated, the Pet Essence in the air became heavy. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, a crimson, flame-like light slowly emerged from the Sunburst Ray’s body.

It was finally here…the rare third Royal-Tier evolution stage!!

A Crimson Quality combat skill!!!

Few participants could reach this stage in 4v4 Hell Survival.

Even the top ten teams wouldn’t send their captains for this round.

So, in most cases, the outcome was decided by the second Royal-Tier evolution.

And the aura of a Crimson Quality combat skill…it was a disaster for everyone.

At this moment, facing the Sunburst Ray’s almost explosive aura…

Lian Xing’s eyes narrowed.

Honestly, she had never witnessed the Mist Colt’s limit.

This time…

Could it survive…?

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!!”

At this moment, to withstand this terrifying Crimson Quality combat skill, the Freezing Point Coagulation, hidden within the ice shield, activated two Red Quality combat skills simultaneously. And under everyone’s dumbfounded gazes, the green mist surrounding the golden-haired girl also began to glow red.

A Red Quality combat skill!!!

Unbelievably…this Moon Rabbit had actually equipped a Mid-Tier pet beast with a Red Quality combat skill!!

Was she insane…!?

It was like putting makeup on a one-year-old baby. Wasn’t she afraid of slowing down the Mist Colt’s level progression!?

“Buzz.”

Under everyone’s gaze, the Freezing Point Coagulation abandoned its Royal-Tier ice shield and, before the attack arrived, entered the Viral Space along with the Mist Colt. Facing the impending disaster, the two Viral Species rapidly teleported through the void, increasing its density.

However, at this moment, as if everything around it had slowed down, only the Mist Colt’s life crystal began to spin rapidly.

The Red Quality combat skill, Overclock!!!

Almost instantly, its void’s complexity surpassed the Freezing Point Coagulation’s by several levels, and the gap continued to widen.

And then, at this moment, under everyone’s gaze, a crimson light, surpassing even the Red Quality combat skill, erupted.

The Sunburst Ray’s attack instantly tore through the other two Viral Species’s voids.

And this was the first time the people of Baiyue Province had witnessed a Crimson Quality combat skill.

[Crimson Quality combat skill: Radiance]

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

Sunlight filled the sky.

Like a falling sun, the ice shield instantly melted into ashes.

And the Mist Colt and the Freezing Point Coagulation’s voids were also revealed, nowhere to hide in the darkness.

Under the incredulous gazes of both teams…

The Freezing Point Coagulation’s body was almost instantly overtaken by the light.

However, the Mist Colt’s speed continued to increase, like a bolt of green lightning, teleporting endlessly through the void. Every time it was about to be caught by the light, it would accelerate again, creating a greater distance.

Deeper, farther, faster!!!

Mist Walk!!!

Although it was grazed by the light several times, it always emerged unscathed, a truly breathtaking and unbelievable display.

First Defense Arcane Art, Shock Absorb.

Second Defense Arcane Art, Shield.

First Speed Arcane Art: Endurance.

Talent: Floating Cloud!!!

“Bang!!!”

Ten seconds later, as the Radiance’s light finally began to fade, the Mist Colt, crashing through the void, returned to the golden-haired girl’s side.

At that moment, silence fell over the venue.

Everyone stared at the golden-haired girl, enveloped in green flames, speechless.

Both the residents of Baiyue Province and the audience and participants of the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition were in awe.

On the “Measure Your Code” team’s side, the captain and Black Magpie looked at each other, speechless.

Meanwhile, even Dead Ash, who had been indifferent, raised an eyebrow slightly, her empty eyes fixed on the golden-haired girl on the screen.

Moon Rabbit…

What a misleading codename…

She must be hiding her true main battle pet beast, right?

Chapter 114: Mist Colt’s True Form, Shocking the Alliance Competition!! 

At the center of the Alliance Competition stage…

While the cameras were focused on the 3v3 Rotation Battle, the young girl with pink, bun-shaped hair began lecturing Lian Xing, taking advantage of the temporary lack of audience attention. But the more she spoke, the angrier she became, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she were about to cry.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing, her mind elsewhere, was studying the other girl’s hairstyle. Bun and baozi (bun) hairstyles might sound similar, but the difference was like the difference between a small meatball and a large steamed bun… To create Lian Xing’s gravity-defying double buns, a waterfall of hair was essential.

“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!”

Suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed from the screen, a powerful gust of wind sending their skirts and hair flying. As this minor incident unfolded on stage, the students from various academies in Baiyue Province were stunned by the power of the two pet beasts in the first round.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

In the sky above, Black Magpie’s daughter, the Wing-Hiding Black Sky, its massive body larger than a mountain, soared through the air at an impossible speed, its movements causing the Pet Essence on the entire map to churn. Even the weather shifted between clear skies and dark clouds due to its flight.

Seeing this, Xinghong of Lingkong Academy was dumbfounded. Her main battle pet beast was also an avian Biological Species, and she firmly believed in their power.

But every time she participated in the Academy League, she felt a flicker of doubt.

Were avian types really that strong?

Before a true expert, wouldn’t something that flew around be an easy target…?

The Lightning Princess of Xiyu Academy was famous in Baiyue Province for its incredible speed, but even it couldn’t escape the Blazing Earth Crimson Poison’s attack range.

And throwing-type pet beasts were unpopular…

So, was speed actually useless for Biological Species?

However, at this moment, watching the 2nd-level region’s league match, she suddenly understood the true meaning of avian…

The reason she was so weak…was because she wasn’t fast enough!!!

In the battle, the Wing-Hiding Black Sky’s speed was so great that it created an illusion of day and night shifting rapidly. Forget about attacking it, they couldn’t even see it with their naked eyes!!!

No attack could possibly hit something that moved at such a speed!!

And in the next second, with a “Whoosh!!!”…

Without warning, their vision was engulfed in darkness. The giant black bird, which had been circling high above, suddenly swooped down, appearing before the opposing team. Facing the massive Wing-Hiding Black Sky, the Beast Tamer from the Bingqing team seemed to have given up, her pet beast just a small green lotus leaf.

However, at that moment…

Just as the black bird descended…

A sinister smile appeared on her lips.

At the same time, a bright red light erupted from the green lotus leaf’s body.

“Ten Thousand Blades Windbreak!!!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!!”

In the next second, the Nether Leaf Rotating Flower began vomiting profusely.

From its delicate mouth, thousands of shimmering, green crescent moon blades erupted, scattering like a torrential downpour. Each blade, like a natural disaster, shot towards the edge of the map, slicing through the lake for dozens of kilometers.

The Wing-Hiding Black Sky should have been shredded , but just as the first blade was about to pierce it, its body blurred, then vanished without a trace.

“Buzz—”

Seeing the faint afterimage, the Bingqing team Beast Tamer’s expression turned grim. The Wing-Hiding Black Sky seemed to have anticipated the attack. It hadn’t been a real attack, just a feint to bait out her ultimate skill.

Then, the helpless Nether Leaf Rotating Flower adjusted its vomiting angle , its branches swaying as it unleashed a barrage of moon blades, chasing after the giant black shadow in the sky. Countless green moon blades chased the black bird from the center of the map to the edge, then back again, slicing through the entire map, but they couldn’t even touch it.

A dozen seconds later, smoke started rising from the Nether Leaf Rotating Flower’s mouth, its green body turning red from the heat, as if it were about to explode…

“Whoosh—”

Just as the Nether Leaf Rotating Flower reached its limit, the black shadow swooped down from the sky, grabbing it and carrying it away from its Beast Tamer.

In the Alliance Competition, Beast Tamers were protected by a mechanism and couldn’t be harmed.

At this moment, the Wing-Hiding Black Sky, holding the Nether Leaf Rotating Flower between its wings, its feathers generating friction and heat, crushed the green lotus leaf in mid-air.

“Bang!!”

“…”
“…”

The first round ended just like that.

Seeing this, the Bingqing team Beast Tamer shook her head helplessly.

It seemed she would definitely lose this point…

Her remaining two pet beasts were even weaker than the Nether Leaf Rotating Flower. They would probably be swept…

But this was to be expected.

Against the 15th-ranked “I’ll Measure Your Code” team, being able to trade 3 points was already a good outcome.

At this moment, the battle continued, but the Beast Tamers in Baiyue Province were still reeling from the power displayed by both sides.

Forget about the Wing-Hiding Black Sky’s speed…

That Nether Leaf Rotating Flower…a single combat skill from it could probably destroy half of Baiyue Province, right?

No, it didn’t even need to use its full combat skill. Just one of those tens of thousands of green moon blades would be enough to flatten half of Baiyue Province!!

“…”
“…”
“Lian Xing…is she really going to fight against these people…?” As Tao Wan’s bewildered words echoed in the Youlan Academy livestream, the chat fell silent.

Could someone from Baiyue Province even participate in a battle of this level?

Giving them, a 10th-level region, access to watch this…it was like letting ants witness the power of gods…

They weren’t even on the same level…!!!

No matter how much Lian Xing had improved in the past month and a half, she couldn’t possibly compete in the 2nd-level region’s league.

And she had even deployed a Mid-Tier Mist Colt…

Why not use the Moonlight Rabbit? Had she made a mistake?

In the White Maple Academy livestream, Xiao Kui also sighed.

“Although I don’t really like Lian Xing, she’s still from Baiyue Province. If she loses too badly, I probably won’t have any appetite for the next few days~~~”

“At least Lian Xing wouldn’t sell herself…” Aurora, the White Maple Academy captain, who had been silent, suddenly said.

Xiao Kui’s face twisted as if she had just eaten something unpleasant…

---

---

After about five minutes, the first round concluded.

“I’ll Measure Your Code” team had won, the Wing-Hiding Black Sky having single-handedly defeated all three opponents. After being teleported back, Black Magpie was treated like a hero, both her teammates and the livestream viewers celebrating her victory.

Black Magpie’s expression remained unchanged as she glanced at the indifferent golden-haired girl beside her.

Next was the 1v1 Single Pet Battle.

On the “Measure Your Code” team’s side, a tall, green-haired woman, seemingly even older than Black Magpie, almost past the age limit, entered the stage. Her main battle pet beast was the Royal-Tier Viral Species, Hundred-Eyed Evil Pupil, which resembled a floating balloon with hundreds of eyes. Although it looked bizarre, its offensive capabilities were incredibly strong. Its first attack, a Red Quality combat skill, instantly obliterated the opponent.

As Lian Xing observed the battle, Black Magpie suddenly said, “Sister Baimu, she’s been participating in the league for almost ten years. She used to be the second-ranked member of the ‘I Really Want to Eat Shit’ team, specializing in 5v5 Siege Battles.”

“Since she never mastered Awakening, she was transferred to our team when she was almost over the age limit, specializing in the 1v1 Single Pet Battle round. To be honest, the Hundred-Eyed Evil Pupil’s normal combat power is even higher than our captain’s main battle pet beast.”

As Black Magpie explained, Lian Xing’s expression turned puzzled.

She didn’t understand why Black Magpie was suddenly telling her all this.

In the eyes of these official members, she was probably just a nobody who would be gone after this match, right?

“You’re too young, and your actions in the first round were strange. But the Great Lord Biluo must have its reasons.”

“Perhaps you have some hidden talent that others can’t see~~~”

“A few years later, when you’ve matured… and are ready for the league, ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’ will always welcome you…” Black Magpie continued, her voice gentle.

Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded silently.

As expected of a considerate wife. She could even tolerate her unorthodox behavior.

But…how would she actually perform…? They would soon find out…

Xiao Jie, the commentator, began explaining the next round.

“Alright, next is the 4v4 Hell Survival round~~”

“As everyone knows, the ‘Bingqing’ team is infamous. Their captain, despite possessing the ability to awaken, has completely abandoned the 5v5 Siege Battle, instead focusing on the 4v4 Hell Survival, even defeating the vice-captain of the 9th-ranked team once!!!”

“As you can see, the ‘Measure Your Code’ team has already given up, even sending out a Mid-Tier pet beast as a joke~~~”

As Xiao Jie finished speaking…

The Alliance Competition livestream chat exploded.

Using a Commander-Tier pet beast as a placeholder was common, but deploying a Mid-Tier pet beast was absurd… It was the first time in the Alliance Competition’s hundred-year history.

Even the teams ranked below 100 wouldn’t use a Mid-Tier pet beast!!

No, even in 7th or 8th-level regions, you wouldn’t see a Beast Tamer using a Mid-Tier pet beast in the league!

Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing and the girl with pink, bun-shaped hair were teleported into a dark space.

4v4 Hell Survival. Lian Xing had only deployed the Mist Colt, while the girl with buns had deployed three pet beasts: one Royal-Tier and two Commander-Tier.

But the Bingqing team also only had two participants.

First, the girl with ice-blue hair, whose body was enveloped in a chilling aura, the captain of the Bingqing team, and another ordinary-looking girl.

Surprisingly, three of the Royal-Tier pet beasts belonged to the Bingqing team captain.

It seemed she was truly obsessed with 4v4 Hell Survival.

At this moment, facing the Bingqing team captain, the pink-haired girl with buns swallowed nervously, her eyes blinking rapidly.

[Royal-Tier — Viral Species — Freezing Point Coagulation]

This was the Bingqing team captain’s main battle pet beast, its form a ring of ice.

The other three were a Mechanical Species, an Elemental Species, and a Weapon Species.

The Weapon Species belonged to the other team member, its form resembling an ice-blue shield.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Then, before the competition even began, the ring of ice merged with the ice-blue shield. A white, priestess-like Elemental Species began casting a spell, channeling a dense, holy light energy into the shield. Finally, as the Pet Essence around the Mechanical Species vibrated, countless rhombus-shaped barriers appeared, completely covering the shield, hundreds of layers of protection, 360 degrees.

It looked impenetrable…

Seeing this, Tiemu of Heavenly Tomb Academy in Baiyue Province was dumbfounded.

Defense specialization…could it reach this level!?

Just sensing the density of these layers of energy and shields, she knew that the outcome of this match was predetermined…

At this moment, the person with the most troubled expression was the pink-haired girl with buns from the “Measure Your Code” team. As a specialist in 4v4 Hell Survival, she naturally knew the Bingqing team’s lineup and its terrifying strength.

Not only its defense, but also the fact that the Freezing Point Coagulation could travel through the void with the shield and its energy intact, without any stamina consumption.

And even if the Elemental Priestess and the Mechanical Species pet beast were defeated, their enhancement combat skills were one-time use…

Finally, after the other three pet beasts’ defenses were broken, it was the Freezing Point Coagulation’s turn to shine. It was the most evasive and durable of them all.

Although there was a significant difference in strength between the two sides, the girl with buns at least had a Royal-Tier pet beast as support.

In comparison, Lian Xing looked like a naked dinner participant…

Even a fool could tell that she had no chance of winning.

“…”
“…”
“Buzzzzzzzzzz—”

Under everyone’s gaze, the dark space began to tremble.

The Hell Survival NPC appeared.

A red, thread-like figure materialized, then began circling the eight pet beasts, attacking them symbolically.

“A Juvenile Species…a red thread…?”

“Probably a Viral Species evolution path…” Lian Xing blinked thoughtfully.

In the next second, as she had predicted, the red thread evolved into a Mid-Tier Viral Species, a large, red flower ball.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!”

Eight red beams shot out, targeting the eight pet beasts simultaneously. However, except for a ripple of mist appearing around Lian Xing, the red beams, upon approaching the Royal-Tier pet beasts, were instantly crushed by the Pet Essence in the air.

This was the power of a Royal-Tier pet beast. Mid-Tier attacks couldn’t even penetrate their aura.

High-Tier attacks were similar…

“Boom!!!!”

After the attack, the red flower ball automatically evolved to High-Tier. If its previous attack had been beams, then this one was a laser cannon…

But it still couldn’t penetrate the Royal-Tier pet beasts’ aura.

Meanwhile, under the viewers’ curious gazes, the silver mist covering the golden-haired girl rippled again, absorbing the High-Tier attack. Seeing this, Xiao Jie, the commentator, blinked in confusion.

“Strange…it dealt with a High-Tier attack so easily?”

“It seems a bit different…”

“But…it’ll be over once it evolves to Commander-Tier, right?”

“A Mid-Tier Viral Species can’t even use Shared Travel…”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Before Xiao Jie could finish speaking, a giant red beam exploded in the dark space, the churning Pet Essence in the air trembling. The red flower ball had evolved into a blood-red cloud floating in the sky.

And this nuclear bomb-like attack made all the students in Baiyue Province turn pale.

In the White Maple Academy livestream, Aurora’s expression was grim.

She felt like she couldn’t even withstand this attack with her full power…

This thing…it already had the strength of a peak Commander-Tier pet beast. Even for the top academies in the league, it was a major threat.

And Lian Xing’s Mid-Tier Mist Colt…it couldn’t possibly block this!!!

As expected…

A dozen seconds later, as the smoke in the dark space cleared…

The first casualty appeared!!!

The “I’ll Measure Your Code” team.

The girl with pink, bun-shaped hair. One of her Commander-Tier pet beasts hadn’t been able to withstand the attack, instantly disintegrating into dust.

At that moment, silence fell.

Under the pink-haired girl’s shocked and pale gaze, the green mist surrounding her teammate, the golden-haired girl with starry eyes, remained undisturbed.

“How…how is this possible!?” she exclaimed in disbelief.

“…”
“…”
“W-Wait, what’s going on? Why could Moon Rabbit’s Mist Colt block a Commander-Tier attack? So she wasn’t joking…?”

“Could this be the ‘Measure Your Code’ team’s secret weapon…!?” At this moment, not only Xiao Jie, the commentator, but even the captain of the Bingqing team, the girl with ice-blue hair, looked puzzled.

Meanwhile, on the “Measure Your Code” team’s side…

The five members looked at each other, their expressions filled with disbelief.

“Did you see that?” the captain with the purple scorpion braid asked, her grim expression softening slightly.

“Yes…”

“It didn’t even use Shared Travel. It blocked that attack with just some talent…” Black Magpie said, frowning after her analysis.

It seemed the Mist Colt wasn’t Moon Rabbit’s main battle pet beast. If both were new Beast Tamers, the main battle pet beast couldn’t possibly defeat a higher-tier opponent so easily.

However, if someone already had a Royal-Tier main battle pet beast, then using Royal-Tier resources to train a Mid-Tier pet beast…it might be possible to defeat a Commander-Tier pet beast.

But something still felt off.

The Mist Colt had blocked the attack too easily…

No matter what…

Royal-Tier was a huge hurdle.

Once the Royal-Tier attack arrived, the Mist Colt would have no chance…

Under everyone’s gaze, the giant, red cloud began to transform, turning into a massive sphere of light, like a sun. The energy emanating from its surface wasn’t heat, but pure, concentrated power.

[Royal-Tier — Viral Species — Sunburst Ray]

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

Under the horrified gazes of the Baiyue Province viewers and the mixed reactions of the Alliance Competition audience…the end had arrived.

The red sphere began to unleash a barrage of crimson energy rays.

Endless, countless, like a tidal wave, the red rays instantly swept across the entire battlefield. The Bingqing team’s Elemental Priestess and Mechanical Species pet beast, both support types, were instantly vaporized. The girl with pink, bun-shaped hair also struggled for a few seconds, her face pale, before her Royal-Tier pet beast was shredded by the red rays.

Under everyone’s gaze, only the ice shield, protected by layers of energy and barriers, remained unmoved.

The map-wide barrage of red rays lasted for over ten seconds before dissipating.

Except for the two remaining pet beasts, everything else had been vaporized…

At this point, no one thought Moon Rabbit was joking anymore.

After all, even a Royal-Tier pet beast couldn’t withstand that attack. It was normal for her Mid-Tier pet beast to be unable to block it, right!?

It had already blocked the previous Commander-Tier attack.

That was enough…

The “Measure Your Code” team still had a place for her on the reserve team.

However—

In the next second…

Under everyone’s incredulous gaze, at the edge of the dark space, a golden-haired girl, enveloped in a green mist, emerged.

At this moment, her starry eyes were calm and indifferent, a faint mist escaping her lips.

The Mist Colt…

It was still alive!!!

The Alliance Competition fell silent…

Chapter 113: Lian Xing’s New Lineup, Baiyue Province is Shocked!!!

“Lian Xing, Lian Xing, it’s really Lian Xing!!! Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

“Who said Lian Xing wouldn’t be playing? Isn’t she a starter in the first match!?”

“The 2nd-level region is so beautiful, and look, it’s Lian Xing!”

“Streamer, hurry up and send a message! See if Lian Xing can receive it!!”

“…”
“…”

As Lian Xing’s familiar golden figure appeared on the screen, almost all the streamers in Baiyue Province were stunned. Who had said that Lian Xing wouldn’t be playing in the first match?

This was so sudden…

They weren’t prepared at all, they didn’t even know what to say…

Meanwhile, in Youlan Academy, looking at the empty chat in the livestream, Chi Yan hesitated, hovering over the input field.

Did Beast Tamers in the 2nd-level region not…send comments…?

The chat was so empty…would her message be too conspicuous…?

She struggled for a while, typing and deleting, as if she were sending a message to her crush…

However, before Chi Yan could make up her mind, someone else sent a message first.

[(Baiyue Province) Nimble-Fingered Xiao Kui (Contact for Private Lessons): We’re famous, everyone!!]

“…”
“…”

Seeing this familiar region name and ID, Chi Yan paused, then quickly deleted her previous message and typed a new one.

[(Baiyue Province) Youlan Academy, No One Cares: Xiao Kui, stop embarrassing yourself with that ID. And what’s so great about White Maple Academy being famous!?]

At the same time, in White Maple Academy…

Xiao Kui, who had been feeling smug about her eye-catching comment, was suddenly insulted, and she let out a confused “Huh?”

This Chi Yan…

How dare she provoke her in the 2nd-level region?

How could she tolerate this in front of millions of viewers!!!

So, Xiao Kui immediately prepared to engage in a verbal battle with Chi Yan on the stage of the 2nd-level region.

Lian Xing was bringing honor to their region on the stage, and they were bringing honor to their region in the chat. Perfectly balanced…

However, just as Xiao Kui typed out hundreds of words in ten seconds, a message popped up.

[Each viewer is limited to one comment every 24 hours.]

“What the hell??????????”

“So I was just… insulted for nothing!?” Xiao Kui slammed the table in frustration, and the livestream viewers laughed.

Actually, this rule had been clearly stated in the livestreaming contract. Xiao Kui simply hadn’t read it carefully. Otherwise, with tens of thousands of streamers from various regions, the chat would be chaotic, and the participants might even be harassed…or have their real names revealed by viewers from less civilized regions.

This was why the Alliance Competition livestream chat was so empty.

After all, the contract clearly stated that comments couldn’t be spammed, and the penalties were severe. Losing livestreaming access was a minor issue. Serious violations could even result in warnings for their regional Beast Tamer Association branches.

However, after her initial outburst, Xiao Kui quickly calmed down.

She decided that in tomorrow’s match, she would be the first to…insult Chi Yan!!!

---

---

Beast Tamer Alliance Competition, on the battle stage.

The other six main members of “I’ll Measure Your Code” were facing off against the team sponsored by the Great Lord Bingqing.

However, Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, was casually browsing the comments on the side screen. Seeing those two familiar IDs, she chuckled and waved.

Lian Xing’s gesture seemed like a friendly greeting from a newcomer to the audience.

But the residents of Baiyue Province were excited…

Lian Xing had clearly recognized Xiao Kui and Chi Yan’s IDs!!!

But…although this was Lian Xing’s first official match, she didn’t seem nervous at all.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jie, the commentator, also noticed the eye-catching golden-haired girl.

“Hmm? Did ‘Measure Your Code’ get a new member?”

“She’s quite beautiful, but she’s so young… Could she be one of the Great Lord’s… concubines…?”

“Of course, it could also be a new tactical adjustment for the ‘Measure Your Code’ team. After all, the ‘Bingqing’ team is known for specializing in Hell Survival. Even with a lower ranking, losing too many points in that round would be a disadvantage~~~”

Hearing Xiao Jie’s nonsense, Lian Xing’s fans in Baiyue Province were outraged. Chi Yan was even more furious, her face red.

This woman…

How dare she insult Lian Xing! She should have saved her comment for this commentator’s bullshit…

However, what the people in Baiyue Province didn’t know was that Xiao Jie hadn’t meant any harm…

In the world of higher-level regions, being a Great Lord’s concubine was actually a compliment, not a reference to selling oneself…

After all, to be chosen by a Great Lord, whether for beauty or potential, it meant becoming a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer, a position of power and prestige even in 5th or 6th-level regions.

If you didn’t want to be a concubine, there were trillions of others who would gladly take your place~~~

Lian Xing herself didn’t care.

But her expression still stiffened slightly.

Based on this commentator’s analysis, it seemed the opposing team specialized in 4v4 Hell Survival.

No wonder the captain had chosen her for the first round…

Her team had clearly given up on the 3 points from Hell Survival, planning to secure the remaining 7 points.

“But…if I don’t perform well, I won’t be able to play again…?” Lian Xing glanced at the woman with the purple scorpion braid, her expression indifferent.

The Beast Tamer Alliance Competition was strict…

Seeing Lian Xing’s uneasy look, Black Magpie comforted her, “Little Moon Rabbit, don’t be nervous. As long as you can reach the top five, you should be able to play in the next match~~~”

“Although their captain will definitely participate in this round, the other team members will probably use support pet beasts to protect her. They don’t have strong defensive capabilities themselves, so reaching the top five should be easy~~~”

“I understand, Auntie Magpie.” Lian Xing nodded obediently.

However, the moment she appeared on stage, seeing her youthful appearance, the Alliance Competition viewers already knew…

How could someone this young be an official participant?

She wasn’t like Dead Ash…

She was probably just here to gain experience…

After this match, with this valuable experience under her belt, she would probably go back to streaming or looking for a husband…

Soon, after Xiao Jie, the commentator, finished her introduction of the two teams, it was time to reveal the lineups.

First round, 3v3 Rotation Battle, three Royal-Tier pet beasts versus three Royal-Tier pet beasts.

Second round, 1v1 Single Pet Battle, Royal-Tier versus Royal-Tier.

Third round, 4v4 Hell Survival, four Royal-Tier pet beasts versus one Royal-Tier, three Commander-Tier, and one Mid-Tier pet beast.

Fourth round, 5v5 Siege Battle, five Royal-Tier pet beasts versus five Royal-Tier pet beasts.

Lian Xing finally saw Black Magpie’s lineup.

[Royal-Tier — Biological Species — Wing-Hiding Black Sky]

[Royal-Tier — Biological Species — Wing-Hiding Black Sky]

The daughter resembled her mother. Nothing unusual.

However, to Lian Xing’s surprise, this black-haired wife’s popularity was incredibly high. The moment she appeared, thousands of streamers used their comment privileges.

She even saw comments saying that Black Magpie was the first to have both “mother and daughter” participating in the competition.

However, if Black Magpie’s mother-daughter duo only generated a few thousand comments, then Lian Xing’s lineup… it almost broke the Alliance Competition stage.

[Mid-Tier — Viral Species — Mist Colt]

“???”

“???”

“???”

At this moment, everyone, including the commentator and Lian Xing’s teammates, was dumbfounded. The Alliance Competition chat and the various livestreams in Baiyue Province were flooded with question marks.

Deploying a Mid-Tier pet beast was unheard of…

The residents of Baiyue Province were even more confused.

When had Lian Xing contracted a Mid-Tier pet beast? And why wasn’t she using her signature Moonlight Rabbit?

Making such a strange decision in her debut match…what was she thinking…?

Meanwhile, the captain with the purple scorpion braid scowled, glaring at Lian Xing, but she didn’t say anything.

Even if you wanted to throw the match, you shouldn’t do it like this, right?

What would the other teams and their fans think?

That any pet beast could participate in the competition now!?

“Uh…the ‘Measure Your Code’ team’s lineup today is a bit confusing. Is this an insult to the ‘Bingqing’ team? Deliberately sending a Mid-Tier pet beast to give them points…? Is this charity…?”

“But looking at their captain’s expression…it doesn’t seem like that… Could there be a communication problem within the team?” Xiao Jie, the commentator, frowned slightly.

Black Magpie beside Lian Xing shook her head helplessly.

It seemed that after this match, they wouldn’t be seeing this Little Moon Rabbit again. Even someone recommended by the Great Lord Biluo couldn’t do something like this in an official match.

She probably wouldn’t even be a reserve member anymore…

Meanwhile, as the two teams were lost in their thoughts, the map for the first round, the 3v3 Rotation Battle, began to generate.

3v3 Rotation Battle…

Baiyue Province also had this mode, but it wasn’t very popular.

They hadn’t expected the 2nd-level region to use it as one of their main league events.

It seemed the popularity of 3v3 Rotation Battle in the virtual battle space would explode starting tomorrow~~~

“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!”

A few seconds later, the map was randomized. Unlike the previous desert terrain, the battlefield for this 3v3 match was a giant lake, its surface rippling, its boundaries unseen.

Unlike the leagues in smaller regions, in the Alliance Competition, filled with Royal-Tier pet beasts, they wouldn’t use small arena-type maps. Those wouldn’t even be big enough for a Royal-Tier Biological Species’s toe…

As expected, as the Royal-Tier pet beasts from both sides appeared, the Baiyue Province viewers gasped in shock.

On the “Measure Your Code” team’s side, the first to appear was Black Magpie and her Wing-Hiding Black Sky.

At this moment, the entire sky above the lake was covered in a black shadow, countless black feathers falling slowly, finally revealing a giant black bird that resembled a demon god…

Wing-Hiding Black Sky. A single feather on its body was larger than a human.

At this moment, Black Magpie, riding her daughter, looked like a tiny speck of dust…

Seeing this terrifying scene, the golden fox, the guardian of Baiyue Province, was also stunned.

This creature…it was really the same tier as her…?

She wasn’t even a tenth of its size…

And the first pet beast from the “Bingqing” team was unremarkable, a green lotus leaf floating on the water’s surface. It didn’t even look like a pet beast.

“Well, both lineups for the 3v3 are…conventional… The first match is Wing-Hiding Black Sky versus the Nether Leaf Rotating Flower.”

“But can you tell if that’s Black Magpie’s daughter or her wife?” Xiao Jie, the commentator, asked playfully.

She had chosen the question with the most comments.

It was obviously Black Magpie’s daughter participating in the 3v3 Rotation Battle! Did they even need to ask?

Many viewers, baited by Xiao Jie, answered her question.

Black Magpie wouldn’t use such a stupid tactic as switching her daughter and wife, because her wife…had already mastered Awakening…

And in the Alliance Competition, Awakening was only allowed in the final 5v5 Siege Battle!!!

---

---

Meanwhile, as the 3v3 Rotation Battle was underway, the atmosphere in the waiting area was tense.

The other three members of the “I’ll Measure Your Code” team, including the captain, glared at Lian Xing. Since one of their members had deployed two pet beasts in the 3v3 Rotation Battle, only she and Black Magpie had been teleported in.

“Little Moon Rabbit, you understand the consequences of your actions, right?”

“Even if you’re one of the Great Lord Biluo’s people, you can’t just do something like this and get away with it. I’ll be filing a complaint with the Alliance’s higher-ups…” a young girl with pink, bun-shaped hair said angrily, her voice lacking conviction, as she stood before Lian Xing.

The other team members, although their expressions were grim, remained silent.

Besides Lian Xing, who had appeared out of nowhere, she was the youngest, only in her early twenties, so she was the one who dared to offend Moon Rabbit.

After all, Lian Xing would definitely be kicked out after this match. The others wouldn’t bother offending the Great Lord Biluo over such a trivial matter.

The Great Lord Biluo’s status and influence within the Beast Tamer Alliance were immense. Even the Four Lords treated it with respect.

However…

Facing their accusations, Lian Xing remained silent, instead looking at the Mist Colt within her. The Mist Colt had now fulfilled the requirements for about ten evolution paths, four of them relatively rare, ready for a breakthrough at any moment.

But this level of transitional evolution wasn’t enough…

After seeing that Ancient Juvenile Species, she had realized that there were still many beings in this world that she couldn’t defeat.

So, she had to significantly increase the Mist Colt’s rarity…!!!

Her lineup had to become stronger…

Chapter 112: Ancient Juvenile Species!!p3

This unbelievable power was beyond the comprehension of many Beast Tamers from smaller regions.

However, the three Dead Ash Beast Tamers and their two remaining pet beasts were protected by some kind of mechanism, unharmed.

Next, it was Dead Ash’s second pet beast’s turn. As the protective light around it faded…

“Thump!!!!!”

Once again, without warning, the second Royal-Tier pet beast was also crushed, its body exploding into a bloody mess, without even a chance to attack.

However, seeing this horrifying scene, the audience wasn’t particularly shocked…

Since the Soul Hunters captain had personally entered the battle, the outcome of the Rotation Battle was predetermined…

At this moment, everyone was waiting.

Waiting for that thing to appear.

The reason they were enduring this mental torment, risking their lives to watch Dead Ash’s battles, was to witness that final moment…

“Thump!!!”

As expected, the battle ended without any suspense. The giant heart, as if alive, pulverized all the Pet Essence on the map, its every beat causing devastation.

But…

Its rhythm was too fast…

Even a Mid-Tier Beast Tamer could sense the Heart Extinguisher’s emotional turmoil…

It looked like…it had been frightened by the Ancient Species’s aura…

“Well, the Soul Hunters captain’s Heart Extinguisher is still very powerful. Worthy of the 5th-ranked team. They’ve successfully traded points in the first round~~~”

“However, using their main force in the first round…the later rounds won’t be so easy…” Xiao Jie, the commentator, said seriously.

No one thought the Soul Hunters were cheating…

Ever since the Dead Ash team appeared, all teams had adopted this strategy.

Being defeated directly…it didn’t matter…

After all, in this Ancient Juvenile Species’s debut match, it had forced the opposing team captain’s main battle pet beast to de-evolve…, and even after four years, it still hadn’t been able to evolve again.

In other words, its evolution path had been completely destroyed…

After the Rotation Battle was the Single Pet Battle. The Dead Ash team only sent out a nobody, while the Soul Hunters deployed their vice-captain. With a strength second only to the Heart Extinguisher, she easily defeated the Dead Ash team member.

Soul Hunters, 4 points!!

However…

The silver-haired girl with a malnourished appearance, her expression remained blank, her empty eyes seemingly staring into the void.

Next was the third round, the 4v4 Hell Survival.

In this round, the Soul Hunters finally faced the Dead Ash team’s main force. Even with their captain and vice-captain each deploying a Royal-Tier pet beast, they were still completely crushed. When the Royal-Tier boss illusion reached its third evolution, its earth-shattering attack instantly killed all eight pet beasts on the field.

However, the Dead Ash team vice-captain’s main battle pet beast had managed to last for over 20 seconds, while all the other pet beasts had been killed before the first attack even landed.

This was to be expected.

After reaching Royal-Tier, due to the massive influx of resources, the difference in strength between a main battle pet beast and a support pet beast would be immense.

Even the Dead Ash team vice-captain’s main battle pet beast could easily defeat the Soul Hunters captain’s support pet beast.

Soul Hunters, 4 points. Dead Ash, 3 points.

Finally…

Under everyone’s gaze, the final round of the match arrived.

The 5v5 Siege Battle!!!

The rules of Siege Battle were more complex than Team Melee (Unlimited), and it was the only mode that allowed Awakening.

First, the five pet beasts had to defend a city from a beast horde, with five entrances, Commander-Tier wild pet beasts constantly spawning.

In the later stages, even Royal-Tier elite monsters would appear.

The faster they killed, the faster the monsters spawned.

And once a pet beast defeated all the enemies at its entrance, it would be automatically teleported to the opponent’s city gate, joining the wild pet beasts in the siege…

This round tested a pet beast’s pure combat power!!!

It was also the most important of the four rounds.

However…

The moment the lineups were revealed, the Soul Hunters had already given up. They had even deployed a Commander-Tier pet beast in the final round.

It couldn’t even withstand the first wave of wild pet beasts, let alone the enemy pet beasts after they had cleared their own entrances!!!

But…they still had to go through the motions…

Under everyone’s gaze…

A massive battle map began to generate.

Two cities, in different areas, quickly materialized.

And just as the participants were about to be teleported in, almost all the viewers held their breath.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened, as if trying to memorize the figure on the screen.

“…”
“…”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!!”

With a flash of light, the silver-haired girl with silvery-grey hair and her four teammates were teleported in.

As the camera’s perspective shifted, the air seemed to distort…

Around Dead Ash, the Pet Essence was completely shattered…

She stood alone at one of the city gates, extending her hand with an empty expression.

In the next second, despair descended.

“Buzz.”

Centered around the grey-haired girl’s feet, a blue life force field enveloped the entire city.

And then, the scene before them began to fade rapidly, like shattered glass, disintegrating into dust.

It was like the sky collapsing.

Like a planet falling.

No one could see what was happening, only the destruction…

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In an instant, everything vanished.

All the wild pet beasts, before they could even spawn, were eradicated…

Then, the city defended by the Soul Hunters team also disappeared…

This was…

The Ancient Juvenile Species, the Commander-Tier Biological Species — Extinction!!!

“…”
“…”
“Gasp, gasp, gasp, gasp~~~~”

Half a minute later, Black Magpie, sitting on the sofa, snapped out of her daze, gasping for breath, her face flushed. Under that immense pressure, it felt like she couldn’t even breathe…

A lingering chill ran down her spine.

“So…impressive, right?”

“What’s the difference between that and a Monarch-Tier pet beast…?” the black-haired woman asked, turning to look at the pale, golden-haired girl with a smile.

Just a Commander-Tier pet beast…yet it possessed the power of a Monarch…

This was why Dead Ash could dominate the Beast Tamer Alliance.

However, the newly arrived Moon Rabbit seemed stunned, motionless and silent.

Seeing this, Black Magpie chuckled and turned away, not wanting to disturb her.

At this moment, Lian Xing’s starry eyes were unfocused.

But her heart was burning with excitement, her body feeling like it was on fire.

“I saw it!!!”

“If I can see it…then there’s a way to defeat it!!!”

“…”
“…”

A faint smile appeared on Lian Xing’s lips.

Although ordinary humans might not have been able to see it, with her hybrid eyes and her focused mind, she had clearly seen the Ancient Juvenile Species’s true form.

How could it possibly crush the world with just its aura?

It wasn’t a true Ancient Species…

So, this time, she had seen it clearly!!

That strange, blue creature had first slammed its tail against the ground, shattering all the spawning wild pet beasts. Then, in the instant it teleported, it had slammed its tail against the opponent’s city, creating the illusion of instantaneous destruction…

This meant…it was still within the Royal-Tier realm, it hadn’t truly surpassed that level.

And more importantly, its level wasn’t that high…

Thinking of this, Lian Xing smiled.

“Always bullying weaker opponents must be boring, right?”

“…”
“…”
“Are you…scared…? It’s our turn soon. Can you even stand?” Just as the golden-haired girl was chuckling to herself, the captain of “I’ll Measure Your Code,” the woman with the purple scorpion braid, appeared beside her.

Hearing the captain’s serious words, Lian Xing finally snapped out of her daze.

Even if she could see the opponent’s true form, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain and the others couldn’t fight.

Even if they fought, they couldn’t even stand.

Even if they stood, they couldn’t even move.

How could they possibly win!?

The suppression of the Ancient Species’ bloodline was too powerful…

She still had a long way to go…to defeat it…

“I’ll manage~~~” Lian Xing stood up, forcing a smile.

---

---

8th-level region, Baiyue Province.

One minute remained until 9 PM. Normally, this was the peak time for virtual battles, but today, it was unusually quiet. Even some clueless Beast Tamers didn’t know what was going on. They couldn’t find any matches, then, checking the news, they finally understood.

The livestream of the 2nd-level region’s competition was about to begin! Moon Rabbit Lian Xing was about to represent Baiyue Province! Those who didn’t watch would regret it…~~~

At this moment, in various academies throughout Baiyue Province, all the popular streamers were staring at a black screen…

And in Youlan Academy, Chi Yan and Tao Wan were also livestreaming, over ten million viewers watching.

Their expressions were tense.

This was the 2nd-level region’s league!

Could they, as High-Tier Beast Tamers, even understand a battle of that level?

And if Lian Xing lost in her debut match…wouldn’t that be embarrassing…

“Whoosh——!!!”

At 9 PM sharp, the black screen lit up, connecting to another battle region.

Quite punctual.

A dreamlike, starlit stage appeared before them. Chi Yan and Tao Wan, the two Youlan Academy students, stared at the empty stage, holding their breath, afraid of missing anything.

However, since the two teams were still logging in, they could only see Xiao Jie, the commentator, adjusting her equipment on a smaller screen below.

“Lian Xing should be appearing soon, right!?” Tao Wan asked excitedly, her voice filled with anticipation.

“…”
“…”
“Calm down, she might be a reserve member. She might not play in the first match. But just seeing Lian Xing in the 2nd-level region’s league is enough~~~” Chi Yan said cautiously after a moment of thought.

Actually, they were also nervous.

With Lian Xing’s strength…could she even compete in a 2nd-level region?

That was a 2nd-level region…a place beyond their comprehension…!!!

Flying through the sky, shattering the void, omnipotent…the pet beasts there could probably do all those things described in fantasy novels, right?

It was a good thing the people in Baiyue Province hadn’t seen the previous battle.

Otherwise, they would know that shattering the void wasn’t that impressive, just compressing and exploding all the Pet Essence in an area…

After a brief silence, the scene on the screen finally changed.

Xiao Jie, the commentator, after taking a heart-saving pill, began speaking, “Alright, everyone, have you recovered…?”

“That was… intense… Let’s watch something a bit more relaxing now~~”

“The 15th-ranked team, ‘I’ll Measure Your Code,’ versus the 28th-ranked team, ‘Sponsored by the Great Lord Bingqing, Follow the Great Lord Bingqing’s Pinches’”

“…”
“…”
“Did…did she just… insult us…?” Chi Yan asked, turning to look at Tao Wan, her expression bewildered.

Was she hearing things?

Had that commentator just used vulgar language…?

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——”

In the next second, before they could even react, 14 figures appeared on the virtual stage. Seven of them had five large words floating above their heads, incredibly eye-catching:

[I’ll Measure Your Code]

And the other team’s name was equally bizarre…

[Sponsored by the Great Lord Bingqing, Follow the Great Lord Bingqing’s Pinches]

So…it was the team name…

As expected of a 2nd-level region…even their team names were unique…

However, as their attention shifted from the team names, they all noticed a familiar golden figure.

At this moment, seeing that familiar figure, almost the entire Baiyue Province fell silent.

Yaoxian, the captain of Yinji Academy.

Xinghong, the captain of Lingkong Academy.

Xiyu Academy, Starlight Academy, Cangying Academy, Volcano Academy, Heavenly Tomb Academy, Youhe Academy, Ice Palace Academy.

And Aurora, Xiao Kui, and the others from White Maple Academy, who were also livestreaming…all of them were stunned.

Under everyone’s gaze—

The golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, dressed in her signature translucent, knee-high stockings, casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. This simple gesture instantly ignited the desires of countless viewers.

Seeing this, Tao Wan and Chi Yan’s mouths went dry. They stammered, unable to even speak.

Lian Xing…

She was actually…

Playing in the 2nd-level region!!!

At this moment, Moon Rabbit’s debut in the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition…was about to begin!!!

Chapter 112: Ancient Juvenile Species!!p2

Lian Xing sat down beside the black-haired woman obediently.

“Little Moon Rabbit, my codename is Black Magpie. You can call me…Auntie Magpie… So, how did you earn the Great Lord Biluo’s favor…?”

“By the way, I heard that the Monarch from Ethereal Thunder Marsh visited Bimen Pass recently. Do you have any insider information…?”

“Is there going to be a war between us and Ethereal Thunder Marsh…?” As expected of a mature woman, she was much more open and conversational…

But Lian Xing wouldn’t casually reveal the Heaven’s Cry Thunderclap Hairpin’s purpose. She just made something up and changed the subject.

After chatting for a bit, Lian Xing asked curiously, “Auntie Magpie, you said your daughter is older than me. Did you give birth before you were 15?”

“…”
“…”
“Well, that’s a long story~~~” the black-haired woman chuckled awkwardly.

But after a moment of hesitation, she told a joke…

Once upon a time, a little girl met a little black bird. They became friends and played together for a few days, and then…accidentally…a little black chick was born.

Ten years later…

The black bird was responsible for the 5-Pet Siege Battle in the “I’ll Measure Your Code” team, and the little black chick was responsible for the 3-Pet Rotation Battle. Mother and daughter, each with their own role.

After hearing Black Magpie’s joke, Lian Xing could barely control her expression.

After a long while, she finally exhaled, suppressing her twitching lips.

This world was truly full of strange people~~~

“It’s almost time. Our match is next. Are you ready?”

“Little Moon Rabbit, I’m looking forward to your performance~~~” the black-haired woman said with a smile, looking at the slightly uncomfortable golden-haired girl.

Lian Xing nodded silently.

She had been assigned to the 4-Pet Hell Survival round.

A 4v4 match.

Actually, in Pet Beast Evolution Battle, 4v4 Hell Survival was relatively unpopular. Most people played 100-Pet Hell Survival.

When this mode was first introduced, its popularity had exploded, far surpassing 100-Pet Battle Royale.

If 100-Pet Battle Royale tested a pet beast’s mobility and awareness, then Hell Survival tested pure defense and dodging ability. After the battle began, the map would simulate an illusory pet beast boss that would attack all players, starting as a Low-Tier Juvenile Species and evolving until no one could withstand its attacks.

The last one standing was the winner.

Although the attacks of the Juvenile Species at the beginning were weak, the main purpose was to determine its final evolution path, allowing the players to prolong their survival time.

“Buzz!!”

At this moment, as a loud noise echoed from the large screen in the resting room, a new message appeared before Lian Xing.

[Next round, ranked battle, about to begin.]

[Soul Hunters]

[VS]

[Dead Ash]

[Please log in to your remote battle devices immediately.]

After these two teams, it would be “I’ll Measure Your Code”‘s turn.

Lian Xing glanced at the team names on the screen, feeling a bit speechless…

Why were the other team names somewhat normal, but the teams sponsored by the Great Lord Biluo…so strange?

But…thinking about it differently…their team name was quite imposing…

Measuring everyone’s…code…upon arrival…

However, as Lian Xing’s mind wandered—

A heavy silence fell over the team resting room.

Not only Black Magpie beside her, but even the captain with the purple scorpion braid held their breath, as if they had forgotten how to breathe.

“Auntie Magpie, what’s wrong? Are they strong…?” Lian Xing asked curiously.

“…”
“…”
“…”
“It’s not about whether they’re strong or not. You’ll understand when that person appears,” the black-haired woman said meaningfully, looking at the innocent golden-haired girl with starry eyes.

Hearing this, Lian Xing blinked thoughtfully.

A moment later, an elegant woman with a dignified demeanor appeared on the screen, sitting at a desk with a microphone, starting her commentary: “Hello, beauties of the Alliance! I’m Xiao Jie, a former Alliance Competition team member. I’ll be commentating on this match today.”

“The 3rd-ranked Dead Ash team versus the 5th-ranked Soul Hunters team. It seems the viewers from all regions will be entertained today~~~”

As Xiao Jie finished speaking, the screen split, revealing a dreamlike battle stage. Seven members from each team stood on opposite sides of the giant stage.

Unlike the Academy League teams, the maximum number of participants in the Alliance Competition was seven. After all, there were four rounds, five people weren’t enough.

The captain of the Soul Hunters was a tall, heroic woman with a black ponytail, dressed in heavy armor.

And the captain of the Dead Ash team…

She looked like an underdeveloped orphan…

The girl, her body thin and frail, had long, silvery-grey hair, her skin pale and bloodless, her eyes two dull, white circles, her expression devoid of any fighting spirit.

“Alright, then please confirm your pet beast lineups for each round~~~”

“…”
“…”
“Ding-dong!!!”

A few seconds later, the lineups for the first round, the 3-Pet Rotation Battle, were displayed. However, Lian Xing was puzzled. The reserve member had just said that the last round, the 5-Pet Siege Battle, was the most important, so why were all the Soul Hunters’ main members concentrated in the first round?

Even their captain had deployed a Royal-Tier pet beast.

Noticing Lian Xing’s confused expression, Black Magpie shook her head, signaling her to continue watching.

Just then, Xiao Jie, the commentator, explained, “Oh, as expected, the Soul Hunters have chosen the point-trading strategy. They’ve completely abandoned the last round~~~”

“After all, everyone knows that the Dead Ash captain ignores everything except the Siege Battle~~~”

So that was it…

This meant that the Dead Ash captain was incredibly strong…

Even other strong teams with similar rankings had to avoid her.

Lian Xing blinked thoughtfully.

But…Black Magpie had said that she would understand when that person appeared… What did that mean?

Judging by the silver-haired girl’s aura, it didn’t seem that special. It shouldn’t be enough to make everyone so tense…, right?

Next were the lineups for the Single Pet Battle and the 4-Pet Hell Survival. As Xiao Jie had said, the Soul Hunters had put all their effort into the first three rounds, completely abandoning the last one. They had even deployed a Commander-Tier pet beast in the final Siege Battle round, a laughable decision.

But…

At this moment, no one could laugh.

The moment the 5-Pet Siege Battle lineup was revealed, a faint aura rippled outwards from the Dead Ash captain, the silver-haired girl.

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, the venue shook.

An invisible pressure crushed the entire virtual stage.

Xiao Jie, the commentator, who had covered her ears in anticipation, still winced in pain. Since the lineup deployment was based on the pet beast’s aura within the Beast Tamer, this leakage of aura was unavoidable.

Meanwhile, the entire Alliance Competition city trembled.

Even the team resting room where Lian Xing was located was affected by this invisible force field.

“Buzzzzzz—”

“Buzzzzzz—”

Lian Xing’s starry eyes remained unfocused, her expression blank, her ears ringing with a shattering noise.

After a dozen seconds, the virtual stage was finally restored and reappeared on the screen. They could clearly see that except for the Dead Ash captain, all the other members had pained expressions. Even her own teammates hadn’t been spared.

This was just a livestreamed virtual battle…yet it could affect the spectators to this extent…

This life force was terrifyingly powerful…

Even Lian Xing’s highly trained pet beasts spirits had crumbled for a moment.

She could clearly sense the fear emanating from the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, the Red Prison Palace Master, the Mist Colt, and Star Sand.

Perfect evolution, transcendent evolution, full reset, one of the 72 Legends…

All their unique advantages… completely suppressed!!!

The Great Lord Biluo had said that she needed Lian Xing to defeat someone in the Beast Tamer Alliance, even in a virtual battle. It hadn’t specified who, only saying that she would understand when she saw them.

Black Magpie had also said the same thing.

Lian Xing had seen them.

And she understood…

This wasn’t about strength or winning or losing anymore…

This was…

Unseeable!!!

Untouchable!!!

Unquestionable!!!

The absolute ruler of this world!!!

At this moment, Lian Xing’s entire body trembled.

She suppressed the tingling in her scalp and the weakness in her legs, her eyes unfocused as she stood up from the sofa, muttering in a voice filled with awe, “—An Ancient Species—”

“…”
“…”

At this moment, seeing the golden-haired girl still able to stand, the other team members, who had collapsed onto the floor, looked at her with strange expressions.

As a newborn, experiencing an Ancient Species’s aura for the first time was impressive that she hadn’t wet herself, and she had even recognized it?

The black-haired woman, sitting nearby, comforting her bird-wife and bird-daughter within her, corrected her, “To be precise, it’s the descendant of an Ancient Species, not an Ancient Species itself yet.”

“Otherwise, the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters would have already been crushed by its aura~~~”

“…”
“…”
“Heh…hehehe—” Hearing this, Lian Xing chuckled nervously, her lips twitching.

It was like the uncontrollable laughter caused by a surge of adrenaline during a rollercoaster ride. She was so shocked that she couldn’t control her laughter.

So this was the opponent the Great Lord Biluo wanted her to defeat?

An Ancient Juvenile Species?

With her current strength…she probably wasn’t even qualified to summon her pet beasts before it…

And the Great Lord Biluo naturally hadn’t expected her to break the Ancient Species’s evolution path.

But…no matter the method, even in a virtual battle, as long as she could defeat the Dead Ash captain once, shattering its invincibility, damaging its confidence, the concentration of Ancient blood within the Juvenile Species would decrease significantly.

The Great Lord Biluo…that old thing was quite devious…

But what was it thinking? Did it really believe that she could defeat a descendant of an Ancient Species?

[Commander-Tier — Biological Species — Extinction]

“…”
“…”
“Ahem, after all these years, I’m sure everyone is familiar with the Dead Ash team. The following official matches will be even more brutal… Those with weak hearts or mental illnesses shouldn’t watch~~~” Meanwhile, as the Ancient Species’s aura faded, Xiao Jie, the commentator, quickly regained her composure and began warning the viewers.

The reason the Dead Ash team was ranked third was because the other teams had adopted a point-trading strategy, avoiding them.

However, this silver-haired woman was the uncrowned queen of the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.

Codename: [Dead Ash]

Team name: [Dead Ash]

Dead Ash, only 19 years old, already considered the future leader of the Beast Tamer Alliance.

At this moment, as all the viewers were still reeling from the Ancient Juvenile Species’s powerful aura…

Unnoticed by anyone—

After the initial shock, a strange desire flickered in the golden-haired girl’s starry eyes.

This strange look…

It was like a baby seeing its favorite toy or a dog seeing…something…

“How…exciting…”

“Great Lord Biluo, although I don’t know the details of your grudge , just defeating her in a virtual battle…how could that be enough?”

“An opponent like this…I have to personally crush her and destroy her Ancient Species evolution path…!!!” At this moment, like a frightened bunny, Lian Xing’s small body trembled uncontrollably.

And the star patterns in her eyes twinkled brightly…as if excited…

---

---

Imagine, defeating a descendant of an Ancient Species…how many rare evolution paths could that fulfill?

Conversely, if Dead Ash were defeated, her invincibility and her Ancient blood would be weakened, and the entire Beast Tamer Alliance would be doomed…

But so far, no one had ever done it.

Not even in a virtual battle, let alone a real-life fight to the death.

The Beast Tamer Alliance’s higher-ups didn’t believe anyone could defeat Dead Ash, leaving her to her own devices.

But…

Moon Rabbit Lian Xing didn’t mind playing the role of the villain…

At this moment, in the “I’ll Measure Your Code” team resting room…

The golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, after recovering from her initial shock, calmly sat back down on the sofa.

“Welcome to the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition~~~” Black Magpie said with a smile, looking at the golden-haired girl.

A 2nd-level region was a magical place where monsters like this were born every few hundred or thousand years.

They had simply encountered the right era.

If they were lucky, they might even be recorded in history alongside her.

Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded silently, her buns swaying. Although she seemed calm on the surface…

Her evil and lewd mind was already plotting how to defeat this Ancient Juvenile Species…

Soon, the battle began.

Under everyone’s gaze, the first round of the Dead Ash VS Soul Hunters match, the 3v3 Rotation Battle, began.

“Whoosh!!”

“Whoosh!!”

The camera quickly shifted perspectives.

In a vast, desolate landscape…

As the six pet beasts appeared, one after another, their Beast Tamers were also teleported in.

Notably, in this round, the Soul Hunters captain had deployed her strongest pet beast, determined to trade points…

A few seconds later, a giant heart, as large as a city, appeared in the sky.

“Thump!!”

“Thump!!!”

The heart, as if alive, beat rhythmically, its every pulse emanating an aura of destruction.

[Royal-Tier — Viral Species — Heart Extinguisher]

At this moment, sensing the Heart Extinguisher’s aura, Lian Xing couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration.

As expected of a star player from a 2nd-level region, even its normal aura far surpassed the awakened forms of the four Cycle of Calamity beasts, on a completely different level compared to those weaklings like the Blood Spirit Orb.

“I’ll go first. Let’s end this quickly…” the Soul Hunters captain, the tall woman with a black ponytail, said coldly.

She could clearly sense that the Heart Extinguisher wasn’t in its best condition. This always happened when they fought against the Dead Ash team.

Even the Beast Tamers, let alone their pet beasts, would be affected for a while…

And the 3v3 Rotation Battle wasn’t about winning two out of three matches, but about defeating the opponent’s last remaining pet beast.

So, as long as they had a super powerful pet beast, they could sweep the entire team.

“…”
“…”
“Thump!!!!!”

Facing the Dead Ash team’s first pet beast, a Royal-Tier, a deafening heartbeat echoed, and the air in the entire desert seemed to crack…

In an instant, everything within a radius of several thousand kilometers, including the opponent’s pet beast, was pulverized by an invisible force.

An instant kill!!!

T/N:  “卧槽你妈” (Wò cào nǐ mā), a very strong and offensive insult in Chinese, similar to “fuck your mother” in English. “我测你的码”(I’ll Measure Your Code!) sounds similar, but replaces the offensive characters with more innocuous ones.(like a slang)

Chapter 112: Ancient Juvenile Species!!p1

Baiyue Province, in an uproar!!!

Phantom Sea Academy, White Maple Academy, Xiyu Academy, Starlight Academy…all the Ten Greats academies were in shock.

Even Youlan Academy, whose Dean was currently in the ICU(intensive care unit), its students were buzzing with excitement.

Just two months ago, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing had been competing alongside them.

But now…

She had gone to participate in a Monarch trial and had somehow jumped to a 2nd-level region to compete in the league!?

Although Moon Rabbit’s strength was unmatched among Baiyue Province Beast Tamers…

But in a 2nd-level region, a place beyond their comprehension, a place they knew nothing about…

Could Lian Xing even compete…?

Could she even perform against Beast Tamers from such a high-level region, whose strength and abilities were unknown?

At this moment, facing the open door to a new world, some were excited and eager, while others were worried and apprehensive.

Having suddenly gained access to the 2nd-level region’s league and its information channels, this massive shift in perspective… was it truly a good thing…?

But at least Baiyue Province had been promoted to an 8th-level region.

All thanks to Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…

Meanwhile, inside Youlan Academy…

In the ICU, Chi Yan, holding a selfie stick, filmed her mother, the Dean of Youlan Academy, who was lying unconscious on the bed.

“Old hag, if you can’t handle it, just… give up… I’ll inherit Youlan Academy~~~” Chi Yan’s filial words made the livestream viewers laugh.

At this moment, the Dean of Youlan Academy, lying on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed, looked like she might jump up and fight her daughter at any moment.

In the month since the league ended, Chi Yan had become Youlan Academy’s most popular streamer, thanks to Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s fame and her own lack of presence and comical tendency to be instantly defeated in battles.

Her livestream content wasn’t about virtual battles, but about tormenting her mother, the Dean of Youlan Academy.

So, the mother and daughter duo, every day, in front of millions of viewers, would fight each other, their antics incredibly entertaining and stupid…

But despite its bizarre style, Chi Yan’s follower count had already reached almost 5 million.

She was also one of the first to receive livestreaming access to the 2nd-level region’s Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.

After leaving the ICU, Chi Yan went to pick up the package from the Beast Tamer Association. Opening the small box and looking at the access chip inside, she muttered, “Captain Lian Xing, just how strong have you become…?”

“I guess we’ll soon find out…in the livestream…?”

---

---

6th-level region, Bimen Pass.

At this moment, inside a training area provided by the Great Lord Biluo…

Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, was examining her pet beast lineup.

[Commander-Tier — Biological Species — Heaven-Gracing Curtain LV190]

[Talent: Flexibility Enhancement, Heavenly Ruler]

[Arcane Art: Flurry, Combo, Power Throw, Moon’s Grace]

[Combat Skill: Lunar Crash (Purple), Sand Toss (Gold), Raging Wind (Dark Gold)]

[Bloodline: Six Ears, Eclipse]

…

[High-Tier — Elemental Species — Star Sand LV13]

[Talent: Star Order, Formless]

[Combat Skill: Nether Staircase (Gold), Death Sentence (Red)]

…

[High-Tier — Weapon Species — Red Prison Palace Master LV60]

[Talent: Limit Heavy Metal]

[Arcane Art: Red Amber, Thunderclap, Crimson Bombardment, Dimensional Penetration, Azure Edge, Penetration, Desperate Gamble, Heavenly Graffiti]

[Combat Skill: Red Prison Palace (Red)]

…

[Mid-Tier — Viral Species — Mist Colt LV30]

[Talent: Mist Walk, Floating Cloud]

[Combat Skill: Refracted Light (Dark Gold), Overclock (Red)]

…

This was Lian Xing’s current pet beast lineup.

But it wasn’t her final form…

Because she hadn’t chosen Star Sand and the Mist Colt’s Arcane Arts yet, and the Red Prison Palace Master hadn’t absorbed that transcendent evolution product’s crystal.

Lian Xing didn’t rush to allocate Star Sand’s points. She knew that a Legend’s Arcane Arts couldn’t be chosen casually. She had also possessed one of the 72 Legends in her previous life.

Choosing its Arcane Arts…it had been almost as dramatic as an Awakening…

And she probably couldn’t use Star Sand in the 2nd-level region’s league for a while. In a place like that…

If its existence was revealed…

Who knew what kind of chaos it would cause.

So, Lian Xing focused on enhancing the Red Prison Palace Master and the Mist Colt.

“Transcendent evolution…”

“Since it doesn’t have any suffixes…it means it can continue fulfilling other evolution requirements. Unlike mutated evolution, which requires simultaneous fulfillment, the steps and timing of transcendent evolution don’t matter, not even the tier.”

“The Amber Palace is very close to a Super Rare Species evolution path, so there are still two or three more evolution requirements it can fulfill.”

“A true Super Rare or a Throne-level…” Lian Xing mused as she fed Qing Zhanwan’s Royal-Tier crystal to the Golden Leaf.

Instantly, the Golden Leaf’s body began to tremble violently.

As its Arcane Arts received a significant boost…

A flood of memories and techniques related to Sheathing poured into its mind.

A moment later, the Golden Leaf’s tense body relaxed, as if it had entered a state of bliss…

[Second Characteristic inherited]

[New Talent — Blade Aura: Significantly increases the range of ranged attacks.]

Seeing this characteristic, Lian Xing frowned.

Ranged attacks?

It didn’t seem very compatible with the Red Prison Palace Master’s characteristics, it might even be useless…

Qing Zhanwan, as a triple transcendent evolution product, should have three characteristics. The one that increased durability and the one that allowed teleportation were both useful, but she had somehow inherited the most useless one.

Well, it didn’t matter. The important thing was that Qing Zhanwan’s Sheathing technique had been absorbed. She could replace the second characteristic later.

The Golden Leaf was currently immersed in comprehension, motionless. As a High-Tier mutated pet beast, absorbing a large amount of Royal-Tier combat techniques at once…it was a bit overwhelming…

Meanwhile, Lian Xing turned her attention to the Mist Colt.

The Mist Colt, having reached level 30, could now evolve to High-Tier.

However, if she wanted to increase its rarity, there were still a few evolution requirements it hadn’t fulfilled…

“Absorbing the crystal now would be a waste of experience, so let’s save the Blood Spirit Orb’s crystal for later, after it reaches High-Tier.”

“Let’s unlock its Arcane Arts first…” Lian Xing had already allocated the Mist Colt’s attribute points, but she hadn’t chosen its Arcane Arts yet. It had only been level 18 back then, and she couldn’t see the later Arcane Arts.

Now that it had reached level 30, she could choose freely.

20 points in Defense, 10 points in Speed, three Arcane Arts.

After about ten minutes, a new and improved Mist Colt was ready.

[First Defense Arcane Art: Shock Absorb (Reduces the power of attacks that don’t significantly damage the core.)]

[Second Defense Arcane Art: Shield (Converts a small portion of health into a large capacity shield. If the pet beast doesn’t take any damage for a certain period, the shield instantly recovers to full capacity.)]

[First Speed Arcane Art: Endurance (Temporarily increases stamina while moving at full speed.)]

After selecting the three Arcane Arts, Lian Xing had a general idea of the Mist Colt’s future evolution path.

However, fulfilling the evolution requirements would be complicated…

After recalling the Golden Leaf and the Mist Colt to her pet beast space, Lian Xing left the Great Lord Biluo’s private training area. At the entrance, a silver-haired girl was waiting for her.

“Little Star, are you leaving?” Silver Dragon asked, her voice filled with reluctance.

“Yes,” Lian Xing nodded.

The 2nd-level region’s Alliance Competition wasn’t a place for just anyone, and bringing companions wasn’t allowed. Only she had received a recommendation.

And in a competition of that level, even someone like Silver Dragon wouldn’t be able to make a splash.

So, both she and Tian Quan had decided to stay in Bimen Pass and train.

“Darling, I’ve already given you the evolution requirements for Heavenly Windless Clothes and Silver Wing Dimension. You have to work hard. I’ll contact you regularly through the virtual battle space~~~” Lian Xing said, gently petting the silver-haired girl’s head.

She was different from those promiscuous girls who had dozens of online lovers…

Her relationship limit… was 20, and she wouldn’t divide her affection into 21 parts.

So, since Silver Dragon was one-twentieth of her heart, she would naturally cherish this relationship…

“Then…who’s Little Fly?” Silver Dragon asked cautiously.

“…”
“…”
“L-Little Fly!?” Lian Xing was stunned, her expression confused.

After a while, she remembered. Little Fly was Thunder Fly, the lightning elemental girl from the white deer space…

No wonder Silver Dragon was so depressed. She must have heard what the Heaven’s Cry Thunderclap Hairpin had said before leaving and started overthinking…

“We’re not close…” Lian Xing said seriously, under Silver Dragon’s suspicious gaze.

…

…

A few minutes later, after finally comforting her jealous lover, Lian Xing, not even bothering to say goodbye to Tian Quan, the third wheel , went to find the Great Lord Biluo.

Inside the familiar cave, filled with high-tech devices…

At the end of the cave, the green-haired woman stood before a teleportation array, adjusting the coordinates. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned to look at the golden-haired girl with starry eyes.

“Moon Rabbit, have you chosen your team?”

“I suggest you join the 8th-ranked team, ‘Get Out, Stocking Wearer ??’. Although they’re highly ranked, they’re always short on members. And the captain is the daughter of a friend of mine. With my recommendation, you won’t be benched…”

“I’ll Measure Your Code!” However, Lian Xing, ignoring the Great Lord Biluo’s suggestion, blurted out those words.

“…”
“…”
“I’ll Measure Your Code!!!” After a while, seeing the Great Lord Biluo’s stunned expression, Lian Xing repeated herself, her voice filled with enthusiasm.

A few seconds later, the Great Lord Biluo’s expression returned to normal, but it was speechless…

Although it was the team’s name… was she trying to insult a Monarch-Tier pet beast…?

“Have you decided?”

“I’ll Measure Your…”

“That team is ranked 15th. They’re not a top team, and they haven’t been in contact with me recently, so I can’t guarantee that you’ll get to play immediately.”

“Why not join the 8th-ranked team?”

“Stockings must win!!!” With this nonsensical declaration, Lian Xing stepped into the teleportation array.

Watching the golden-haired girl’s disappearing figure, the Great Lord Biluo’s lips twitched.

Just because of such a trivial reason…?

But since Lian Xing had made her decision, there was no point in arguing.

Long-distance teleportation took one or two hours.

The Great Lord Biluo immediately took out its phone and started sending messages.

---

---

2nd-level region, Beast Tamer Alliance.

The entire sky was covered by a giant, silver shield. The city was filled with giant, nest-shaped arenas, with no residential buildings in sight.

Strictly speaking, this wasn’t actually a 2nd-level region. Its area was less than one percent of Baiyue Province.

The entire Beast Tamer Alliance’s combined power was considered a 2nd-level region.

But this area was the Alliance’s central hub, a place built solely for battles!!

There were no ordinary residents or passersby here, only the members of hundreds of teams.

It was like an elite academy city…

The Beast Tamers who emerged from here every year were all super elites with the potential to reach Monarch-Tier!!!

“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!!!”

At the center of the city, in a fountain-shaped teleportation array…

A golden-haired girl materialized in a flash of silver light. A few seconds later, her starry eyes opened, and she looked around at the giant arenas with a look of wonder.

This place reminded her of the main city teleportation hub in her previous life’s online game.

As Lian Xing marveled at the scenery, a woman in a golden cloak, waiting outside the fountain, asked, “Hey, are you the Beast Tamer recommended by the Great Lord Biluo?”

“Golden hair, starry eyes…it seems to match…but just in case, state your name.”

“Moon Rabbit…” Lian Xing replied respectfully, without hesitation.

The Great Lord Biluo had warned her not to use her real name here. There were too many spectators. Unless she wanted to become famous, she shouldn’t reveal her true identity, or her hometown would be overrun by fans.

Especially those star players, their fanatic fans were everywhere, so they couldn’t reveal even a hint of their real identities.

The woman in the golden cloak nodded, then said, her speech slightly stilted, “Moon Rabbit, follow me. I’m a reserve member of ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’. I’ll take you to our team’s section.”

“Alright, Sister of ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’,” Lian Xing replied with a smile.

“By the way, congratulations on joining ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’.”

“Yes, I’m honored to join ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’.”

“…”
“…”

Beast Tamer Alliance, “I’ll Measure Your Code” team section.

The woman in the golden cloak led Lian Xing through the futuristic building, explaining the basics of the Beast Tamer Alliance as they walked. They had initially greeted each other by asking about each other’s mothers, but they had quickly switched back to normal human conversation.

“Almost every team has a Monarch-Tier sponsor. We also received support from the Great Lord Biluo in the past.”

“But we’re not sponsored by the Great Lord Biluo alone, so even with its recommendation, you might not be able to play immediately.”

“The specific match schedule…you’ll have to ask the captain~~~” As she finished speaking, they reached an electronic device at the end of the hallway. After registering her name, fingerprints, facial features, and other biometric data, the door at the end of the hallway opened automatically.

In the next second, several team members, watching a match on a large screen in the team resting area, looked over curiously, their gazes fixed on the petite, golden-haired girl. Among them, a voluptuous woman with a purple scorpion braid was particularly eye-catching.

A golden badge adorned her chest.

It seemed…

She was the captain…

Not only the captain, but every member here was much older than Lian Xing.

A strange thought crossed Lian Xing’s mind.

In the previous leagues, she had only encountered young girls, none older than 20.

But in this Beast Tamer Alliance, with its age limit of 30, almost everyone was a mature and experienced woman, their figures and appearances even more perfect…

Perhaps here she could find more…one-twentieths of her destiny~~~~

“Wait, are you sure?”

“Isn’t she just a child?”

“My daughter is older than her!!!” After a few seconds of silent observation, one of the team members stood up in disbelief.

They had only known that the Great Lord Biluo had recommended a new member, they knew nothing about Lian Xing herself.

So, seeing the golden-haired girl, everyone was stunned.

“Could she be one of those people who look younger than they are…?” another team member suggested.

But no matter how you looked at it, this… little brat…Lian Xing was definitely under 20.

“Everyone, it’s an honor to join ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’.”

“I’m 15 years old this year. Please take care of me~~~” Lian Xing said politely.

Hearing this, the resting area fell silent.

Most humans only gained the ability to contract pet beasts at 15, right?

This girl…

Entering the Beast Tamer Alliance at 15…

Had she been beast taming since she was in the womb…?

At this moment, even those who had been dissatisfied with Lian Xing’s sudden arrival suppressed their feelings.

They wouldn’t argue with a child.

When they were 15, they were still struggling with High-Tier evolution paths in their regional academies…

Just then, the woman with the purple scorpion braid, sitting on the sofa, spoke, “Tonight at 9 PM, we’re fighting against the 28th-ranked team. You’ll be participating in the Hell Survival round. Only one participant allowed. Perform well, and you can play in the next match.”

“If your performance is unsatisfactory, you’ll be benched, and your future appearances will be uncertain…”

“…”
“…”

Although her voice was cold, the captain was clearly giving the Great Lord Biluo face, granting Lian Xing a chance to play in the first official match.

Besides those rare individuals who were born with unparalleled talent, how strong could a 15-year-old newborn be?

Even participating in the Academy League would be a challenge, right…?

Lian Xing nodded calmly.

She naturally knew the rules of Hell Survival. It was a new mode introduced in the third anniversary update of Pet Beast Evolution Battle.

Meanwhile, the reserve member who had been following her started explaining patiently, “The Alliance Competition’s ranked battles are held every three days, with four rounds per match.”

“The four rounds are: 3-Pet Rotation Battle, Single Pet Battle, 4-Pet Hell Survival, and 5-Pet Siege Battle.”

“Once a pet beast participates in a round, it can’t be used in another round.”

“By the way, winning in the Single Pet Battle only awards one point, so it’s the least important. Teams usually don’t send their strongest pet beasts for this round. The other three rounds award 3 points each, so the maximum score per match is 10 points!!”

“And finally, only the 5-Pet Siege Battle allows Awakening, so it’s the most important round, with the highest viewership. All teams will deploy their strongest lineups for this round!!!”

“…”
“…”
“I see—” Lian Xing nodded thoughtfully.

Compared to the Academy League’s single-elimination format, the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition was much more formal…

There wouldn’t be any unlucky situations where two strong teams met early and one was eliminated.

All teams would play against each other throughout the season, the winner determined by the total points. And with the restriction on pet beast participation, those unorthodox single pet builds were completely eliminated.

“Darling, don’t just stand there, come sit here~~~” At this moment, a beautiful woman with shoulder-length, curly black hair, sitting on the sofa near the wall, beckoned Lian Xing curiously.

She was the one who had exclaimed that her daughter was older than Lian Xing.

Lian Xing didn’t refuse and walked over. Seeing this, the woman in the golden cloak chuckled awkwardly, then quietly retreated, leaving the resting room. As a reserve member, she wasn’t allowed to intrude on the main team’s resting area.

But in her view, this golden-haired girl would soon be joining her…

A 15-year-old official member…?

In your dreams…!!!

Chapter 111: Baiyue Province in an Uproar!!!

“Wait, wait, wait. Say that again. ‘I Really Want to…what…?’”

“…”
“…”
“I…I…I Really Want to…” Facing Lian Xing’s playful question, the Great Lord Biluo stammered, unable to utter those two words. It turned away, glancing at the team name on the panel with a look of resignation.

The world was truly full of wonders, especially when you gathered Beast Tamers from tens of thousands of regions. There would always be some strange and abstract team names.

Actually, there was something it hadn’t mentioned. This was only the second tier of strangeness…

So, the Great Lord Biluo quickly changed the subject. “Moon Rabbit, the Alliance Competition attracts viewers from tens of thousands of regions. Its popularity and viewership are far beyond any ordinary regional league. And with the age limit of 30, those who can stand out are definitely not ordinary Beast Tamers.”

“Just participating in a single match…you’ll understand…” the Great Lord Biluo said meaningfully.

After all, as an…old thing…that had lived for 20,000 years, it had seen a lot, including countless talented individuals who had fallen from grace…

Even a Legend Beast Tamer, if the Legend hadn’t fully matured yet, suddenly jumping from a 6th-level region’s trial to a 2nd-level region’s league achieving fame and recognition in such a short time was practically impossible…

The 2nd-level Beast Tamer Association Alliance, encompassing tens of thousands of regions…its level of competition was on a completely different scale compared to the lower-level regions.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing also fell into deep thought, her heart stirring.

With her current rapidly increasing strength, there was no need for her to stay in a 6th-level region. She had to participate in higher-level competitions, battling against stronger opponents, to further enhance her lineup.

Seeing the hesitation in the golden-haired girl’s eyes, the Great Lord Biluo said, its expression complex, “Moon Rabbit, if you have the chance…I implore you to defeat someone for me.”

“You don’t have to do anything in reality. Just defeat her once in a virtual battle.”

“If you succeed before my life fades completely…”

“I can destroy my own crystal…and let your pet beast consume it…”

As the Great Lord Biluo finished speaking, a heavy silence fell.

Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened.

A Monarch-Tier crystal…?

This reward was too generous…

But Lian Xing didn’t agree immediately. An opponent that the Great Lord Biluo was willing to sacrifice its own crystal to defeat…it couldn’t be just anyone.

And…just a single victory in a virtual battle…?

Thinking about this strange condition, Lian Xing asked, “She’s never lost in her life, right?”

“…”
“…”

“Yes,” the Great Lord Biluo nodded, confirming her suspicion.

Lian Xing didn’t ask any more questions. This information was enough.

If she could do it, she would claim her reward. If not…then not.

She had nothing to lose.

“Alright, I’ll consider it. Contact me if you have any news.”

“Now…show me your collection. You haven’t given me my rewards yet~~~” Lian Xing said, her voice filled with anticipation.

The Great Lord Biluo had promised four rewards of her choice: a Red Quality combat skill, a Royal-Tier crystal, evolution information, and a Rare Juvenile Species. She didn’t need the latter two, so she could choose two from the first two categories, twice.

Old thing, time to pay up!!!

However—

Lian Xing, who had entered the Great Lord Biluo’s warehouse with excitement, emerged a few minutes later, her expression speechless.

This woman had said… any Red Quality combat skill, any Royal-Tier crystal…

But they were all Mechanical Species types! What was the point!?

In the end, she could only take four Mechanical Species Royal-Tier crystals. At least she could trade them for other types of crystals.

Seeing the girl’s disappointed expression, the Great Lord Biluo chuckled awkwardly.

It had already consumed the other types of crystals as snacks, and the Red Quality combat skills had been sold to other regions. After all, in this world, besides Beast Tamers, no wild pet beast would bother storing other types of resources.

Just like how…except for those who catered to their clients’ preferences, constantly changing their outfits most of the time, those who didn’t like stockings would never wear them, and those who liked white stockings would always wear them…

***

At the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters in Baiyue Province, a small, adorable golden fox sat at its desk, absentmindedly sorting through the documents before it. Today was its last day working in Baiyue Province.

Tomorrow morning, it would be leaving for Chijin Province, a 9th-level region, to take up its new position.

After a while, the little fox sighed.

“Lian Xing should be in Bimen Pass for the Monarch trial now. I wonder how she’s doing…”

“The competition in a 6th-level region is different from our little games here. I hope Lian Xing won’t be too discouraged…” As a newborn from a 6th-level region, the Six-Tailed Moon Fox knew the strength of those geniuses.

Phantom Sea Academy might be undefeated in Baiyue Province for a decade, but in a 6th-level region…they were nothing, no advantage whatsoever.

“Ring, ring, ring, ring—”

Suddenly, the phone rang.

The little fox answered casually.

A few seconds later, its expression froze.

Even after hanging up, the little fox remained motionless, its eyes unfocused. A few minutes passed, and only when a knock echoed did its gaze return to normal.

“President, are you still working?”

“Someone will be coming to take over tomorrow anyway. You can just leave those documents~~~” After knocking a few times, the former Dean of Phantom Sea Academy, with her blue, fishtail-shaped hair, dressed in a secretary outfit, entered the room.

However, hearing this, the little fox shook its head, its expression strange.

“No, I’m not leaving~~~”

“…”
“…”
“W-What’s wrong?”

“President, what happened!?” the former Dean of Phantom Sea Academy asked, blinking in confusion.

This little newborn had only been in office for less than three years…

Had it actually developed feelings for Baiyue Province?

Was it sick…?

“Lian Xing achieved a high ranking in the Bimen Pass trial and was recommended by the Great Lord Biluo to an official team in the Alliance Competition. Therefore, Baiyue Province has been promoted to an 8th-level subordinate region, and we now have access to the Alliance Competition livestream,” the little fox explained seriously.

“…”
“…”
“Crack!”

After a few seconds of silence, the former Dean of Phantom Sea Academy stumbled, accidentally breaking the heel of her high heels. Her expression mirrored the little fox’s previous shock.

Seven years ago, Baoyu Shuitianliang, a graduate of Phantom Sea Academy, had also been recognized by the higher-ups during the trials and transferred to a nearby 8th-level region as a guardian, her status and fame skyrocketing.

But…had she heard correctly?

Lian Xing…what had she done in the trials to be directly promoted to the Alliance Competition in a 2nd-level region!?

Looking at the dumbfounded blue-haired woman, the little fox let out a sigh of relief.

“Quickly inform Youlan Academy…”

“We can watch the Alliance Competition now!!”

“Alright, I’ll inform them right away—”

“Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring…” The blue-haired woman with a fishtail took out her phone and quickly dialed the Dean of Youlan Academy’s direct line.

Half a minute later, a crashing sound came from the other end of the line.

If she wasn’t mistaken…

Something had just broken…

---

---

“Who else wants some!?!”

“Are you impressed? Speak up!!!”

“Who understands the significance of a 30-win streak in 100-Pet Battle Royale? Am I the strongest in Baiyue Province now?” Xiao Kui, the girl with short, perky hair, bragged, her hands waving excitedly in the livestream.

Seeing her arrogant behavior, the chat immediately began criticizing her.

[What’s so great about winning in 100-Pet Battle Royale? None of the real experts in the academy even play that mode!]

[Xiao Kui, are you getting cocky? Is this how you talk to your paying customers…???]

[Take off your clothes and kneel!!!]

[To be honest, Xiao Kui has improved a lot since she stopped selling herself… I think she might even reach Commander-Tier in a couple of years.]

[True, it’s a pity that this year’s league was interrupted. Many academies didn’t get to show their full potential…]

[It doesn’t matter. Tian Quan and Youlan Academy already had their final battle…~~]

[Go, Xiao Kui! Defeat Moon Rabbit next year!!!]

Seeing the mixed reactions in the chat, Xiao Kui’s lips twitched.

Actually, after witnessing that attack not long ago, most of the star players in Baiyue Province had experienced a surge in growth. After seeing a Royal-Tier battle, the atmosphere in Baiyue Province was clearly different from previous years.

Before this, their understanding and goals had been limited to Commander-Tier. Both ordinary students and star players had strived to become Commander-Tier Beast Tamers. For those like Aurora of White Maple Academy and Heavenly Tomb of Iron Hostel Academy, the bottom-ranked Ten Greats, their goals had been to achieve a higher ranking in the Academy League, not to pursue higher levels of evolution.

This was why, when a Royal-Tier battle erupted before their eyes—

They had finally realized how small and insignificant their previous goals had been.

Royal-Tier…

A Royal-Tier pet beast…

Right before their eyes!!!

They had to become Royal-Tier Beast Tamers or die trying!!!

“Ding!”

At this moment, Xiao Kui received a message.

It was from the advertising department of the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.

However, the moment she opened the message, her expression froze.

[To the Beast Tamers of Baiyue Province, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing has qualified for the Alliance Competition. Therefore, Baiyue Province has been promoted from a 10th-level region to an 8th-level region.]

[Livestreaming access to the (2nd-level region) Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters Competition will be granted to select streamers from Baiyue Province.]

[You have been granted livestreaming access. Please check your mail for the contract.]

“…”
“…”

At this moment, since Xiao Kui hadn’t hidden her screen, all 600,000 of her livestream viewers saw the notification.

Not only Xiao Kui herself, but the entire chat fell silent.

2nd…2nd-level…

2nd-level region!?

What did that even mean?

Before this, their understanding of regions had been limited to the 8th-level. Due to the segmented battle region network, they had no access to information about areas beyond Qingyao Sea.

And now…

Not only had Baiyue Province been promoted to an 8th-level region, but they had also been granted access to watch the 2nd-level region’s league!?

This unprecedented feat…

Even Baoyu Shuitianliang, who had once been famous throughout the region, hadn’t achieved this…

“Huh?”

“Lian Xing, Lian Xing…wuwuwu, my Lian Xing…I finally know where you are!!!”

“I’m numb…what kind of world is a 2nd-level region? Are there immortals…there!?”

“Wait, in the…adult novels…I read, people already… ascend to a higher plane in the 4th-level region. What kind of pet beasts are there in a 2nd-level region?”

Xiao Kui’s livestream chat exploded.

Even she herself was dumbfounded.

With information completely blocked, they couldn’t even make things up. All the online novels could only fantasize up to the 3rd or 4th-level regions.

After all, the residents of Baiyue Province couldn’t even comprehend what an Emperor-Tier pet beast was.

Monarch-Tier…

That was already an unimaginable term for them…

“Everyone, something big has happened! I’m going to inform the other team members! Bye!!” Finally snapping out of her daze, Xiao Kui quickly logged out of the virtual battle space, her hasty retreat as if her family had just been in a car accident.

But her hands were indeed nimble…

Meanwhile, not only Xiao Kui of White Maple Academy, but every streamer with over 100,000 followers received this official notification.

Overnight, Baiyue Province was in an uproar, a wave of excitement sweeping through the region…

The door to a new world was slowly opening before them.

And at this moment, no one knew…

Just how powerful Lian Xing had become…when they next saw her familiar, golden-haired figure…

Chapter 110: Sovereign-Tier Emperor

—Bimen Pass—

In the devastated battlefield, Lian Xing stared blankly as the Great Lord Biluo grabbed her hand and placed it on its surprisingly large breast…

Mechanical Species, of course, weren’t as passionate as Biological Species.

And the Great Lord Biluo didn’t have any seductive intentions.

Because the moment Lian Xing’s hand touched the green-haired woman’s clothes, it passed through , as if entering a virtual world, arriving in a green space filled with jade and crystals. Although only her hand was inside, she could clearly sense everything within the other being’s body.

Inside, countless streams of data, like electronic noise, floated on the crystal walls. Just a small fraction of this data was as vast as the starry sky, seemingly containing the evolution paths of all the pet beasts in the world.

This was…

The inside of the Great Lord Biluo’s crystal!!!

Unlike other types of bloodline memories, Mechanical Species’ knowledge and data were perfectly preserved, recorded within their control centers, easily accessible and transferable.

As Lian Xing marveled at this infinite amount of information, the Great Lord Biluo’s voice echoed, “Moon Rabbit, I’m sick. They say I’m incurable. What do you think?”

“As a Beast Tamer with multiple Legends…what do you think of me…?”

“…”
“…”

Facing the Great Lord Biluo’s curious question, Lian Xing remained silent, her mind still reeling from the other being’s actions. It had shown her its crystal on their first meeting…

It was like walking down the street and having a pervert suddenly strip naked and jump on you. Even a 15-year-old girl like Lian Xing would be shocked.

And in this situation, with her hand inside its life crystal…she could even form a contract with the Great Lord Biluo with just a single thought.

Of course, she wouldn’t do that.

Her reasons were the same as with the little fox in Baiyue Province.

However…

Lian Xing was fascinated by the state of the Great Lord Biluo’s crystal.

Withered, decayed, like a dying candle flickering in the wind.

Judging by its condition, this Monarch-Tier pet beast had actually lived for over 20,000 years??

That was even longer than some Emperor-Tier pet beasts!

No wonder this old thing could even recognize a Moonwalker…

However, Lian Xing herself was a walking pet beast encyclopedia. She didn’t need the Great Lord Biluo’s knowledge. After pondering for a moment, she briefly examined the Great Lord Biluo’s evolution status and discovered something absurd…

Normally, Mid-Tier pet beasts had the most evolution paths, High-Tier pet beasts also had quite a few. Even random guesses could sometimes fulfill the evolution requirements. But at Commander-Tier, it became much more difficult.

And from Monarch-Tier to Emperor-Tier…the available evolution paths were extremely limited.

However, the Great Lord Biluo, in its long, 20,000-year lifespan, had somehow managed to block almost all of its own evolution paths. At least 90% of the requirements for the paths Lian Xing knew were impossible to fulfill.

“…”
“…”
“Yes, you’re very sick. Probably incurable…” Lian Xing finally answered after two minutes of silence, observed by the Great Lord Biluo.

Hearing this, the green-haired woman lowered her head, her expression dejected.

Unlike the emotionless Mechanical Species in most people’s minds, the Great Lord Biluo was surprisingly expressive…

However, Lian Xing, seeing the dejected green-haired woman, continued her ruthless assessment…

“Your rarity is too low. It’s rare to see a Monarch-Tier pet beast with such low rarity. You haven’t even reached the threshold of a Super Rare Species. It’s a miracle you’ve managed to survive for 20,000 years in this form…”

“You must have rushed your evolution~~”

“Were you in a hurry to reincarnate…?”

“Sigh, you haven’t even reached the level cap. Old hag, did you spend the past 20,000 years shitting…?”

O-Old hag!!?

As Lian Xing continued her criticism, the Great Lord Biluo’s head drooped even lower, its eyes unfocused.

Even the Emperors of the Beast Tamer Association treated it with respect, afraid of offending…this elderly…being.

Old hag?

How could such a word come from the mouth of a young girl?

Wasn’t this a bit too much…?

“But…it’s not completely hopeless. It’s just… the requirements are a bit difficult for you~~” Lian Xing said after her rant, shaking her head.

The Great Lord Biluo, its voice meek and humble, asked, “Do I have to single-handedly defeat an Emperor…?”

“Yes, a Sovereign-Tier Emperor. Don’t even think about it…”

“Just find a decent person and settle down~~~” Lian Xing withdrew her hand from the green-haired woman’s crystal and patted her shoulder with a pitying expression.

Hearing this, the Great Lord Biluo’s expression froze.

What was a Sovereign-Tier Emperor?

It meant that even the entire Beast Tamer Association didn’t have one.

Only the top 2nd-level regions had Sovereign-Tier Emperors as guardians, like the Sovereign’s territory, Ethereal Thunder Marsh, the Seven Heavens, the Cycle of Calamity, the City of Awe, the Dominating Cauldron Palace…

And it wasn’t just about whether you could defeat one, it was that no one would challenge a Sovereign for the sake of a Monarch-Tier pet beast.

Even so…

The Great Lord Biluo simply shook its head sadly, its expression calm. It had already accepted its fate, not planning to contract with any Beast Tamer.

Since even Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, a Legend Beast Tamer, couldn’t do anything…it had completely given up hope.

Sighing, the Great Lord Biluo continued, “Moon Rabbit, although this trial was interrupted, your strength and contributions are undeniable. You single-handedly defeated four Cycle of Calamity remnants. The champion’s reward is yours.”

“A Red Quality combat skill, evolution information, a Royal-Tier crystal, a Rare Juvenile Species…you can choose one from each category in Bimen Pass’s inventory.”

“Also, I’ll suppress the news about Star Sand. After all, the only ones who saw it were Divine General Bai Feng and the Future Tower Beast Tamer. I’ll also erase the remaining aura after restoring Bimen Pass.”

“And finally, a recommendation letter for the Beast Tamer Association Grand Finals. You can join any team you want, even the top ten teams…”

“Can I exchange the evolution information and the Rare Juvenile Species rewards for Royal-Tier crystals?” Lian Xing asked after a moment of thought.

“Of course.”

“Well, I’ll decide on the rest later. Give me the crystals and the drops first~~”

“…”
“…”

Under the Great Lord Biluo’s exasperated gaze, Lian Xing began counting her spoils.

Three Royal-Tier crystals: Viral, Weapon, and Elemental.

The Lantern Tail’s Biological Species crystal had already been consumed by the Red Prison Palace Master.

Besides those, there were two Red Quality combat skills and one Dark Gold Quality combat skill.

[Refracted Light (Dark Gold): Viral Species combat skill. Creates an illusory image of the user traveling through the void, concealing its aura, making it difficult to detect.]

[Death Sentence (Red): Elemental Species combat skill. Unleashes a Wind-type slash against all targets within the area. Slashing power is equal to the combined aura of all Wind-type pet beasts in the area. 50% damage reduction against Viral Species voids, 50% damage increase against Elemental Species.]

[Overclock (Red): Viral Species combat skill. Passive enhancement type. Increases the frequency of void travel, accelerating the crystal’s rotation speed, enhancing thought processes and significantly increasing movement speed. However, it increases the breathing difficulty for companions during Shared Travel.]

As Lian Xing examined the dropped combat skills, her eyes lit up.

She could use all three of them!!

Strictly speaking, Refracted Light was a normal enhancement, suitable for the Mist Colt’s characteristics, but it wouldn’t be a game-changer.

However, combined with the passive combat skill, Overclock, the Mist Colt’s performance would reach a whole new level!!

And most importantly…the Evil Wind Ink Spirit’s Death Sentence had actually dropped…

And Star Sand was a Wind-type pet beast!!!

This would be interesting~~~

After some adjustments, Lian Xing gave Refracted Light, Overclock, and the Viral Species Royal-Tier crystal to the Mist Colt, Death Sentence to Star Sand, and the other two Royal-Tier crystals to the Red Prison Palace Master. As a Legend, Star Sand couldn’t level up or inherit other talents even by consuming crystals.

So, maximizing the Red Prison Palace Master’s Arcane Art enhancements was the optimal choice.

After completely upgrading her lineup, Lian Xing finally turned to the Great Lord Biluo, who had been waiting patiently.

“Darling, about that league recommendation letter…?”

“…”
“…”

Darling…?

Hearing this, the Great Lord Biluo blinked in surprise.

It seemed Lian Xing was in a good mood, using all sorts of endearing terms.

One moment it was “old hag” and “old thing,” the next it was “darling”…

---

---

“Buzzzzzzzzzz!!!”

About ten minutes after the attack, accompanied by a piercing alarm, Bimen Pass, which had been reduced to ruins, began to rise from the ground. Not only the terrain, but also countless mechanical structures began to materialize in the air, quickly forming various magnificent buildings.

Under the trial participants’ awed gazes, towering skyscrapers rose from the ground.

Within minutes, Bimen Pass was restored…

Hearing the commotion, Hades Spear, Jueying, and the white-haired girl from Floating Snow City, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up. They looked around at the intact Bimen Pass, their expressions bewildered.

What was going on?

Was the trial over!?

They had lost consciousness after being knocked out, not seeing what had happened afterward, not even the simultaneous Awakening of the four Cycle of Calamity beasts.

But judging by the situation. Fire Ban Bai Feng must have defeated all the enemies, right?

Seeing the white-clad girl, her arm severed, her expression cold, everyone looked at her with envy and admiration.

Meanwhile, Fire Ban Bai Feng, clutching her severed arm, her expression slightly dejected, sighed and muttered to herself, “Great Lord, this was…part of the assessment, right?”

“I failed again…”

“So…Moon Rabbit must be the only one who passed the test…?”

“Moon Rabbit, Moon Rabbit…a fitting name…” Recalling that devastating final attack, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

A perfect combat skill, and a bloodline combat skill developed to that extent, perhaps within the Beast Tamer Association’s jurisdiction, only those few kings at the top of the Grand Finals could surpass her…

…

…

Meanwhile, as everyone was lost in their thoughts, Lian Xing had followed the Great Lord Biluo to its private sanctuary. Deep within the dark cave, rows of futuristic virtual devices lined the walls.

Even the scenes at the four entrances of Bimen Pass were being monitored in real time.

The Great Lord Biluo brought Lian Xing to this area, casually waving its hand, and a list appeared on one of the device screens.

[Alliance Team Rankings]

[Rank 8: Get Out, Stocking Wearer ??]

[Rank 15: I’ll Measure Your Code ]

[Rank 29: I Really Want to Eat Shit]

[Rank 36: Who Understands, Besties?]

Seeing this list, Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened in disbelief.

Lian Xing: ?

“These are the teams I sponsor in the Alliance League. With my recommendation letter, you can join any of them this season, unconditionally.”

“I know you’re not interested in contracting with me. So, if you want to reach a higher level of evolution quickly, the Alliance Competition is your only option,” the Great Lord Biluo explained, seemingly sensing Lian Xing’s confusion.

However, although Lian Xing heard its words, she couldn’t process them.

Th-These…were these…team names…?

They were too vulgar…!!!

At this moment, Lian Xing finally understood why the academy leagues in various regions banned custom IDs.

If people were allowed to use names like these…

She couldn’t even imagine the reactions of the audience.

After a pause, the Great Lord Biluo continued, “Unlike the Academy League, the age limit for the Alliance Competition is 30, and the team members come from different regions, so there are no regional restrictions.”

“The Alliance’s ranked battles are held weekly, with annual settlements. At the end of each year, the top five teams can participate in the Interdimensional Grand Finals, competing against the elites from top powers like Ethereal Thunder Marsh and the Sovereign’s territory.”

“By the way, Bai Feng is a member of the ‘I Really Want to Eat Shit’ team. Her White Incandescent Nova achieved 21st place in the single pet battles last season…”

“Wait, wait, wait, say that again. ‘I Really Want to…what…?’” Lian Xing suddenly interrupted, her eyes twinkling with amusement, as if she had found something interesting…

Chapter 109: Moonlight Rabbit Rampages, A New Form!!

“Clang!!!!”

The moment the shackles binding the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s arms shattered, a deathly silence fell over the battlefield. Everyone, including the three Cycle of Calamity members, held their breath, their gazes fixed on the small, white rabbit.

If Lian Xing’s previous joke about “super evolution” had been obviously fake…

Then this time…

This aura…

It was real…

As the shackles fell from the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s wrists, the white ribbon behind it began to tremble violently. Mist swirled, the wind picked up.

“Whoosh——!!!!!”

In the next second, the two ends of the white ribbon extended, spiraling around the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s arms like flowing sleeves, enveloping it in a faint white mist, like a celestial being.

Heaven-Gracing Curtain, characteristic unleashed!!!

If it had just been this, it wouldn’t have been so oppressive. But what happened next was beyond their comprehension…

The cloak on the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s back was suddenly bisected by an invisible force, transforming into two illusory, white, furry giant hands that gently cupped the flowing ribbons around its arms. This bizarre position and appearance…it was like armrests on a throne…

From the moment it evolved to Commander-Tier, Lian Xing had never unleashed the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s true characteristic.

She had always been fighting in the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer form.

After all, only by suppressing its characteristic could the bunny grow stronger, faster…

Once the characteristic was unleashed, leveling up wouldn’t be so easy…

Because the enemies it once considered unbeatable would become insects it could easily crush.

At this moment, with its original ears and arms, the two illusory armrests, and the Six Ears from its bloodline combat skill, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain had twelve throwing appendages.

However, this wasn’t the end of its transformation…

The bloodline combat skill, Six Ears.

As the name suggested, ordinary creatures had two ears, so mastering Six Ears would triple the Moonlight Rabbit’s number of throwing appendages. But in reality, bloodline combat skills could grow, and three times was just the initial stage…

After countless battles, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain had developed its Six Ears to an even more terrifying level.

Four times!!!

This was the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s current achievement…

At this moment, under everyone’s horrified gazes, as white blood spurted from its body, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s ears began to multiply…

6, 12, 18, 24…

In addition to its original six throwing appendages, Six Ears had created 24 new ears, bringing the total to 30.

“…”
“…”
“A bluff…” the Blood Spirit Orb, despite feeling the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s overwhelming aura, said, its voice trembling slightly, but its resolve remained firm.

Battles weren’t won by who had more body parts…!!!

This seemingly absurd transformation was just a bloodline combat skill… It couldn’t possibly be more broken than their Red Quality combat skills, right?

However, under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl stepped into the Mist Colt’s void.

Just before disappearing, she looked at the Cycle of Calamity members with a cold, indifferent expression.

“Goodbye…no…”

“Farewell—”

“After all, you’re just… this level of Royal-Tier…”

With these condescending words, Lian Xing entered the Viral Species’s Shared Travel state without looking back. She hadn’t even considered these Cycle of Calamity remnants as worthy opponents…

Her true enemy was the Monarch-Tier pet beast she had yet to meet—the Great Lord Biluo, the Azure Green Giant Pincer Crab Guardian!!!

Bimen Pass had been devastated to this extent, yet it hadn’t made a move…Lian Xing suspected that this whole incident was orchestrated by the Great Lord Biluo, perhaps even part of the trial.

But…

Since the viral barrier in the sky had been torn apart by the Heaven’s Cry Thunderclap Hairpin, there was nothing to worry about. The Beast Tamer Association’s higher-ups must have already sent people to investigate.

What she needed to do now was to quickly eliminate these mutated evolutions and…

Collect their life crystals!!!

---

---

“After all, you’re just…this level of Royal-Tier…”

As the golden-haired girl’s mocking words echoed…

Before they could even feel anger…

The scene before them…

The Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s 30 slowly descending ears…

Suddenly, the Pet Essence became chaotic, the sky seemed to collapse, the wind and clouds churned, and all sound ceased, as if the entire Bimen Pass had fallen into a pre-apocalyptic silence.

The Evil Wind Ink Spirit and Qing Zhanwan exchanged glances, their expressions bitter.

This time…

They were definitely going to die…

And the Blood Spirit Orb, still in its awakened state, its eyes gradually dimming, could clearly sense that the Red Quality combat skill it was charging had been interrupted.

This wasn’t related to energy or characteristics.

This was pure power!!!

Realizing this, the Blood Spirit Orb immediately tried to activate its void, but it couldn’t even control its own Pet Essence. Because the Pet Essence around it had been pulverized…

In the next second, its vision turned white, then everything faded, its senses and consciousness disappearing.

“What kind of throw is this…?”

“…”
“…”
“Moon Rabbit!!!!!”

[Combo X10 X30]

[Lunar Crash X30]

[Raging Wind X30]

[Sand Toss X30]

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, the Blood Spirit Orb’s desperate cry was cut short, and the world before them shattered. A deafening roar echoed as a vertical hurricane pierced through the clouds, the ground beneath Bimen Pass collapsing, sinking into an abyss.

At the epicenter of the terrifying wind pressure, the bodies of the three Cycle of Calamity remnants were instantly crushed into paste, without any chance to resist.

No, it wasn’t even paste or ashes, it was dust, too fine for the naked eye to see.

From the beginning, this hadn’t even been a fight…

Meanwhile, not only the Cycle of Calamity members, but the already devastated Bimen Pass was once again struck by a catastrophe, almost all living beings crushed by the wind pressure.

This attack’s power was too much!

This wasn’t a level of power a Commander-Tier pet beast could achieve!!

However, at this moment, a helpless sigh echoed.

The collapsing Bimen Pass suddenly stopped, a green, rippling electronic barrier appearing in the sky.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

The devastating wind pressure slammed against the illusory barrier, creating violent ripples, but it couldn’t break through, Bimen Pass’s descent halted.

After a dozen seconds, the disaster finally subsided.

Everyone looked at the green ripples in the sky, their hearts pounding.

Moon Rabbit, Lian Xing…

Had she just tried to kill everyone in Bimen Pass…???

Meanwhile, Fire Ban Bai Feng struggled to her feet, looking up at the sky, her expression complex.

“Great Lord…”

“What are you doing…?”

“…”
“…”

A moment later, as the wind pressure completely dissipated, the golden-haired girl in stockings carefully emerged from the Mist Colt’s void. As she was about to search for the dropped crystals, her breath hitched, and she turned around abruptly.

Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened.

A graceful, voluptuous woman with long, green hair stood three meters behind her. She wore a loose, low-cut, light green dress, her arms supporting her ample chest, a beauty mark beneath one eye, her gentle face tilted slightly as she observed the golden-haired girl.

And at her feet lay the unconscious bodies of Hades Spear, Jueying, and the other defeated Divine Generals.

The moment Lian Xing saw her, her vigilance reached its peak, her entire body tense.

The Great Lord Biluo…

It had finally appeared!?

Although she couldn’t sense any hostility from its expression or aura, a Monarch-Tier being was beyond her current capabilities.

If it made any suspicious moves, Lian Xing would immediately flee on the Mist Colt.

Even if it meant burning through the Mist Colt’s life force and will!!!

However, to Lian Xing’s surprise, the Great Lord Biluo didn’t move, simply observing her intently.

Was it using some Mechanical Species detection method to scan her stats?

After a while, Lian Xing realized that the Great Lord Biluo wasn’t looking at her body, but at her eyes…

What was wrong with her eyes?

A few seconds later, the Great Lord Biluo finally spoke.

“Those…starry eyes…they look familiar…” it sighed, its voice filled with a hint of sadness and confusion.

Then, its expression returned to normal, its gaze fixed on the golden-haired girl.

“Moon Rabbit, don’t be nervous, I won’t harm you.”

“You protected Bimen Pass. I’ll give you a reward~~~”

“A reward?” Lian Xing asked, her voice suspicious, her vigilance increasing.

She glanced at the devastated Bimen Pass, the ground littered with craters and debris.

Heh, protection? Reward?

Was this reward going to be her own death…?

The two most destructive attacks against Bimen Pass had been Star Sand’s awakening and the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s final rampage.

The four Cycle of Calamity beasts hadn’t actually caused that much damage…

“Don’t worry, the buildings in Bimen Pass are all constructed by my system. I can restore them with a single thought. But—”

“Moonwalker aside…Star Sand’s presence can’t be hidden anymore, can it?”

“…”
“…”

Seeing Lian Xing’s stiff posture, the Great Lord Biluo paused for a few seconds, then continued, “Moon Rabbit, do you know the difference between a Speed Puzzle and an ordinary trial?”

Why the sudden change of topic?

Still reeling from the revelation about Moonwalker, Lian Xing didn’t respond, her eyes fixed on the Great Lord Biluo.

She wasn’t its slave. She wouldn’t just answer every question.

But she did know the difference.

In this world, only the Speed Puzzle was considered a legitimate trial. All other trials were just inferior imitations.

Like the Great Lord Biluo’s trial, although it was called a trial, it was just it choosing a master based on its own subjective preferences.

But [Speed Puzzle] …

Those two words made all the difference!!

It meant that tens of thousands of Beast Tamers would willingly abandon their current lineups and embark on a predetermined path, just for the Monarch’s approval.

Only the first one to fulfill all the requirements would gain the Monarch’s favor. Absolute fairness, justice, and transparency.

To put it simply, both Monarch-Tier and Royal-Tier Beast Tamers would have to abandon all their current pet beasts and be placed in the same battle region, engaging in regular duels, starting over from the Low-Tier level.

Like raising “gu”

The risk was high, a true survival of the fittest!!!

Those who emerged victorious from a Speed Puzzle were all legendary figures, destined to be etched in history, standing at the pinnacle of the world.

“Moon Rabbit, if you participated in an Emperor’s Speed Puzzle, do you have the confidence to win against tens of thousands of elites?”

“Do you have any understanding of Mechanical Species lineups?”

“…”
“…”
“None of your business~~~” After the Great Lord Biluo finished its questions, silence hung in the air for a dozen seconds, then Lian Xing replied, her tone rude…

Since the other party had already recognized Moonwalker’s species…there was nothing more to say.

Kill or be killed…

Do it or don’t…

In the end, everything depended on the Mist Colt’s escape speed.

Lian Xing had bet everything on the Mist Colt’s speed!!!

“Give me back the crystals!!”

“You took their crystals, didn’t you?” Lian Xing continued, her voice demanding, as the Great Lord Biluo stared at her, dumbfounded.

A few seconds later, the Great Lord Biluo finally recovered from its shock.

Then, under Lian Xing’s wary gaze, the green-haired woman walked towards her. The distance between them shortened, but the Mist Colt didn’t react. She had ordered it to escape the moment the Great Lord Biluo attacked.

Since the Mist Colt hadn’t moved, it meant the other party hadn’t shown any killing intent…

But…it was too close…

Letting a Monarch-Tier pet beast approach so casually was too dangerous!!!

A dozen seconds later, the tall and graceful Great Lord Biluo stood before the golden-haired girl. Although Lian Xing was petite, her legs were slender and beautiful.

However, compared to the Great Lord Biluo’s smooth, white thighs, they seemed insignificant…

Lian Xing’s head barely reached the other woman’s chin.

In this unequal confrontation, Lian Xing suppressed her urge to kneel and beg for mercy.

I’m sorry, Great Lord Biluo, I was too rude. Please spare me. I’ll do anything you want!!

If not for her pet beasts, who were still on high alert, Lian Xing would have shamelessly begged for mercy.

However, in the next second…

Under Lian Xing’s stunned gaze…

The Great Lord Biluo grabbed the golden-haired girl’s hand and placed it on its surprisingly large breast…
