    Chapter 90: A True Fallen Species???

    So, you’re also a hybrid…

    Looking at the silver-haired girl with a dragon tail emerging from the forest, Lian Xing’s expression turned strange. Meanwhile, Silver Dragon, who had been anxiously searching for Lian Xing, panicked when she realized that the golden-haired girl was standing right there, staring at her.

    She quickly covered the half-exposed dragon horn on her head.

    Then, she hugged her tail, trying to hide it.

    Finally, she gave up, her arms falling limply to her sides, her eyes unfocused.

    After all, the dragon scales on her skin couldn’t be hidden.

    A quarter hybrid…? Lian Xing thought, observing her.

    She hadn’t noticed any pet beast characteristics on Silver Dragon when they had bathed together. And being able to freely conceal those characteristics was a trait of quarter hybrids, like the armless girl.

    However, the fact that Silver Dragon was also a hybrid further confirmed that she, Lian Xing, was also a hybrid. Because, in most cases, hybrids looked down on pure-blooded humans, but they were attracted to their own kind. Like Yu Bo and Silver Dragon, they might not be able to immediately identify Lian Xing as a hybrid, but they were instinctively drawn to her scent.

    It seemed that she had always been popular with hybrids…

    “Lian Xing…”

    “Are you okay?”

    Ignoring Silver Dragon’s anxious question, Lian Xing walked over to her, deep in thought, and casually patted the large dragon tail behind her. Its surface was smooth and slimy, like raw meat coated in lubricant. And those seemingly sharp barbs, they could actually move and sway like fins.

    “What are you hiding? As if I’ve never seen it before…?” Lian Xing asked nonchalantly.

    Silver Dragon squeezed her legs together, her body trembling, her face flushed as she turned away.

    “D-Don’t…don’t touch there…”

    “Oh, so you’re disgusted by me now?”

    “N-No…”

    “It’s for…you know…that…”

    Silver Dragon had assumed that saying this would scare the other girl.

    But Lian Xing wasn’t fazed at all. Instead, she became even more curious.

    “What? Is it special? It’s not like I don’t have one…”

    “Why don’t you try it?” With that, Lian Xing casually lifted her foot and rubbed it against the dragon tail.

    Lian Xing’s actions were the epitome of teasing.

    After all, they weren’t strangers, they were technically a couple online.

    Only after teasing Silver Dragon to the point of collapse did she finally stop, wrapping her arms around the other girl’s shoulders and climbing onto the large, silver dragon tail.

    “Darling, my pet beasts are all dead, and my feet are sore. Can you carry me out of here?”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Can I really use it?” Silver Dragon asked, her mind filled with fantasies, feeling the sensation on her tail.

    Hearing this, Lian Xing’s expression froze.

    When she had asked Silver Dragon to stall that Royal-Tier pet beast in the virtual battle, she had not only promised a relationship and information about the Heavenly Windless Clothes’ future evolution, but she had also implied certain things…

    But she hadn’t expected Silver Dragon to take it so seriously.

    So young, yet so eager…

    “Let’s think about it when we get home~~~”

    Baiyue Province, Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.

    Over ten hours had passed since the Royal-Tier incident, and the casualty data had been compiled.

    Although the damage seemed severe, considering the clash between Royal-Tier pet beasts and the descent of a Legend, keeping the losses to this level was already a miracle. When the report was presented, the guardian of Qingyao Sea’s first reaction was disbelief.

    Even Qingyao Sea had suffered thousands of casualties from Calamity Sun’s residual energy. How could Baiyue Province, the epicenter of the incident, have so few casualties?

    After all, when Calamity Sun first appeared over ten years ago, a casual throw from the leader of the Cycle of Calamity had wiped out all life in almost 20 regions!!!

    However…

    Although many questioned the validity of Baiyue Province’s report, under the authority of Millennium Marquis, a high-ranking official from the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters, the matter was quickly dropped.

    Meanwhile, inside a makeshift conference room built on the ruins of the city, the golden fox, her face bruised and swollen, Shuitianliang, her fishtail covered in frostbite, and the woman in the Qingyao Sea uniform sat on the stage. Before them sat the Ten Greats and a few other star players with Commander-Tier pet beasts, including Zi Wutong, the captain of Starlight Academy.

    In the solemn atmosphere, after briefly summarizing the casualties, the golden fox switched to another report, her expression serious.

    “Next, regarding the handling of this incident…”

    “The Beast Tamer Association will fully compensate for the casualties, the city’s reconstruction, and the cancellation of the league.”

    “Ice Palace Academy will be banned for five years and fined 10 Commander-Tier crystals.”

    “Since the perpetrator behind this incident couldn’t be identified, the bounty for the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King will be distributed as follows: 50% to Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, who lured it out; 15% to the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters; 15% to Baoyu Shuitianliang; 10% to Silver Dragon of Wind God Academy; and the remaining 10% will be split equally among Tian Quan of Phantom Sea Academy, Lei Ji of Xiyu Academy, and Xinghong of Lingkong Academy.”

    “Furthermore, since the league was interrupted and the winner and the Ten Greats couldn’t be determined, compensation will be provided to all participants, including access to the virtual battle region of the 8th-level region, Qingyao Sea, for certain academies. And…”

    “Moon Rabbit, Silver Dragon, Tian Quan…the three of you have received an invitation from Bimen Pass. Please travel to Qingyao Sea within a month to participate in the simulated assessment for the…Speed Puzzle…hosted by the Great Lord Biluo.”

    The Great Lord Biluo, the Speed Puzzle!!!?

    As the golden fox finished speaking, everyone looked at the three girls in shock and envy.

    While they were still struggling to reach Royal-Tier, these three had already received an opportunity to contract a Monarch-Tier pet beast!!

    Yaoxian, the former second-ranked Ten Greats, was devastated. She had been confident in her chances of being chosen, but after witnessing Silver Dragon’s performance against the Royal-Tier pet beast, she had lost all hope.

    Meanwhile, Tian Quan of Phantom Sea Academy was also excited.

    Although the Sea-Dried Bright Moon was more of a…grandmotherly…guide, none of its previous contractors had ever become a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer!!!

    As long as she could contract a Monarch, even Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, who had intimidated her so much, would eventually become…irrelevant…

    “Who’s…Great Lord Biluo…?”

    “It sounds…powerful…” Lian Xing asked Silver Dragon, confused.

    Silver Dragon explained, “Great Lord Biluo, a Monarch-Tier pet beast, the guardian of the 6th-level region, [Bimen Pass].”

    “It’s said that its lifespan is nearing its end, and it has been hosting Speed Puzzles frequently in recent years, but it hasn’t been satisfied with any of the winners, so it has been…prolonging…its life.”

    “Qingyao Sea only has the…nomination…for the Speed Puzzle. To actually participate, you’ll have to pass the assessment and then travel to Bimen Pass…”

    After Silver Dragon’s explanation, Lian Xing lost interest.

    A Monarch-Tier Speed Puzzle…no thanks…

    Spending over half a year to gain its approval, only to be bound by a bunch of rules, just to contract a Monarch-Tier pet beast…

    She might as well focus on improving her own lineup!!

    Half an hour later, after the golden fox finished explaining a bunch of precautions…, the meeting finally ended, and everyone could go home. However, just as Lian Xing stretched and was about to leave, she was, unsurprisingly, stopped by the golden fox.

    After taking Lian Xing to a private room, the golden fox fidgeted nervously.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Are you in heat…?”

    Ignoring Lian Xing’s insult, the fox asked tentatively, “Lian Xing, you made a great contribution in eliminating that Cycle of Calamity member. I’m about to be promoted to president of a 9th-level region.

    “But, is there a possibility that…”

    “No.” Lian Xing interrupted, refusing before the fox could even finish.

    The fox’s expression turned sad…

    “Won’t you reconsider…?”

    Lian Xing shook her head again.

    “Be happy, you’re getting promoted. Don’t overthink things~~~”

    “I’m the one who chooses my pet beasts, not the other way around. And I enjoy the satisfaction of raising Juvenile Species from scratch. I wouldn’t accept a…finished product…”

    Actually, there were a few other details Lian Xing didn’t mention. She wouldn’t accept a pet beast that was weaker than her, whose combat style was already set, and whose build didn’t fit her lineup. But saying that out loud would be too cruel…

    The Royal-Tier pet beast, the Six-Tailed Moon Fox.

    The Biological Species evolution path of the Fire Firefly.

    She knew a few decent Viral Species evolution paths for the Fire Firefly, but they wouldn’t significantly improve her current lineup, just…minor enhancements…

    “I understand…” the Six-Tailed Moon Fox muttered dejectedly.

    Its reaction further confirmed the…allure…of a Legend Beast Tamer.

    Even a Royal-Tier pet beast would…beg…to be contracted by her, someone who possessed Star Sand.

    This was why she had to carefully choose her future pet beasts, ensuring that her final lineup wouldn’t be weaker than her previous life’s!!!

    In her previous life, her virtual account in Pet Beast Evolution Battle hadn’t just had the Ancient Species Moonlight Rabbit, but also over a dozen other pet beasts at the peak of evolution.

    Like the Cycle of Calamity leader’s Emperor-Tier mutation.

    The 72 Legends, just one step away from the pinnacle.

    The server’s only…stocking-type…Weapon Species.

    The dual-attribute Elemental Species with two crystals.

    The descendant of a Shining Species.

    And…

    The Juvenile Species she had brought back from a future expansion map.

    Unfortunately, with her transmigration, all of that was gone.

    4th-level region, Silver Corridor.

    In a silver-grey, snowy world, a figure in a black cloak stumbled forward, seemingly heavily injured, leaving a trail of black blood with every step. Beneath the cloak, its skin was…deteriorating…, its humanoid form barely holding together.

    “I…I was the strongest…”

    “I was just…one step away…from becoming a Fallen Species…”

    “My disguise was perfect…how could anyone dare to challenge a Fallen Species? This…this isn’t normal!!!” the figure rasped, its voice filled with despair and disbelief.

    It was the former leader of the Cycle of Calamity, the ruler of the 2nd-level region, Dark Abyss Sea, a being that had undergone Emperor-Tier mutated evolution!!

    And it knew…

    That Moon Calamity…it hadn’t known its true identity or strength, it hadn’t even believed it was a fake Fallen Species.

    This meant that from the very beginning…that being had been targeting…Fallen Species…

    However, as it finished speaking, it suddenly looked up, its expression filled with disbelief.

    “Whoosh——!!”

    In the next second, above the silver-white clouds, a giant phoenix feather, burning with white flames, descended from the sky, covering the horizon. Just a glimpse, and the Cycle of Calamity leader’s body trembled uncontrollably, an urge to kneel washing over it.

    Clearly, even as Emperors, their strength was on completely different levels!!!

    At the same time, a cold voice echoed in its mind.

    “One step away from becoming a Fallen Species…?”

    “From what I see…it’s more like…an insurmountable chasm…”

    “…”
    “…”
    “What…do you want…?” the Cycle of Calamity leader asked, suppressing its anger, unable to retort.

    All its Pet Essence was concentrated, ready to flee at any moment.

    “Relax, I just heard that Moon Calamity defeated a Fallen Species. I came here hoping to assess its strength based on yours.”

    “Unfortunately, you’ve even violated the requirements for mutated evolution. You’re…useless…as a reference~~~”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Can I…leave now…?” the Cycle of Calamity leader asked, forcing a calm tone.

    However, the other party seemed to have lost interest, no response coming.

    Just as it thought it could escape…

    Under the Cycle of Calamity leader’s horrified gaze, the phoenix feather, burning with white flames, slowly descended from the sky, then exploded into a burst of white light.

    [August 23rd, 427621, 4:00 AM]

    [Centered around the 4th-level region, Silver Corridor, 87 regions were incinerated, casualties unknown. The leader of the Cycle of Calamity has been eliminated.]

    [Target suspected to be…a Fallen Species…]

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 89

    Chapter 89: The Legend’s Token of Love!!

    “Among you, I will choose…”

    “My son-in-law…”

    “…”
    “…”

    As the white bride deer finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the boundless expanse of clouds. The expressions of the five girls froze.

    Even Lian Xing was stunned.

    They had speculated about whether this was an Emperor’s trial or a Speed Puzzle, but they had never imagined that this was actually a marriage competition…!!!

    So, what species were this white deer and its daughter…?

    What level of existence were they, to set their sights on a Legend Beast Tamer…?

    “Who is your daughter?” the lightning elemental girl asked directly.

    “It’s a secret~~~”

    “Are you an Emperor?” the armless girl asked.

    “Guess~~~”

    “What species is your daughter?”

    “I don’t know~~~”

    Seeing the bride deer’s casual and dismissive attitude, the girls felt a wave of frustration. If it wouldn’t tell them anything, how could they possibly compete…?

    Perhaps after they went through all the trouble of contracting a Legend, this deer would just…steal it…from them.

    Meanwhile, unlike the other confused hybrids, the golden-haired girl with starry eyes was deep in thought, her head lowered. After pondering for a moment, Lian Xing asked tentatively, “Are you “Moonwalker”…?”

    “…”
    “…”

    The moment she heard those words, the white bride deer’s pupils constricted sharply. After a moment of silence, it looked at the golden-haired girl with admiration.

    “You…”

    “You’re…different~~~”

    Wait, Moonwalker!?

    Was this thing really a Moonwalker…?

    How was that possible?

    Seeing the deer’s ambiguous response, which seemed to confirm their guess, the girls gasped, their expressions filled with disbelief.

    Moonwalker, one of the 72 Legends…weren’t they supposed to be Elemental Species? How could they appear in this Biological Species form…?

    Having received a vague answer, Lian Xing let out a sigh of relief. She had only heard stories about Moonwalkers, knowing that their classification was…unclear.

    The appearance of a Biological Species, the abilities of an Elemental Species.

    She hadn’t expected to guess correctly on her first try. This bride deer, which seemed to be a Biological Species, was actually a Moonwalker, an Elemental Species.

    Having its identity revealed, the deer wasn’t angry but instead explained nostalgically, “It’s been hundreds of thousands of years since I last heard that name. Yes, you’re right. I was indeed called a Moonwalker hundreds of thousands of years ago…”

    “Hundreds of thousands of years ago?” Lian Xing’s starry eyes narrowed.

    So that was it…

    The deer’s hint was clear.

    Even ordinary Monarchs couldn’t live for hundreds of thousands of years. Only Emperors, those who had surpassed Monarchs, could defy the passage of time.

    So, if she wasn’t mistaken, this thing was most likely a Legend who had reached the pinnacle of evolution!!!

    She even suspected that even her Ancient Species Moonlight Rabbit from her previous life wouldn’t be a match for this deer…

    This opportunity, stumbled upon due to Calamity Sun’s descent…it was truly…a stroke of luck…!!

    “I want to know…what are the conditions for winning?”

    “Is the first one to contract a Legend the winner, and they can form a contract with your daughter unconditionally?” the white-haired woman asked, her eyes burning with desire.

    One of the 72 Legends, a Moonwalker, and a…powerful…mother who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years as a backer…

    This temptation…it was worth fighting for!!

    However, the bride deer chuckled and shook its head.

    “Heh, becoming a Legend Beast Tamer…that’s just the first test.”

    “We Moonwalkers are Legends among Legends, having reached the pinnacle of evolution and witnessed the world countless times. Not just any lowly Legend can compare.”

    “But, if one of you is the first to contract a Legend, there will be a special reward…~~~”

    “Also, our Moonwalker clan has a rather open view on relationships. If all of you perform well, perhaps my daughter will like all of you. So, it’s fine if you form relationships with each other. And it would be even better if you could stay in touch and train together!!!”

    “Alright, it’s getting late. Each of you can ask one last question before you go. Any question, evolution information, bloodline combat skills, the coordinates of Rare Species, anything I know~~~”

    “Let’s start with you~~~” The bride deer nudged the nearest girl, the one with teardrop-shaped eyes, with its nose.

    Lian Xing perked up her ears, hoping to eavesdrop, but their conversation was blocked by an invisible barrier. A dozen seconds later, the fishtailed girl’s expression brightened, but with her teardrop-shaped eyes, it looked like she was about to cry from joy…

    She must have asked about specific evolution information, right? Lian Xing thought.

    After that, the white-haired woman, the armless girl, and the elemental girl also asked their questions and received their answers, their expressions suggesting satisfaction.

    Finally, it was Lian Xing’s turn.

    Under the curious gaze of the white bride deer, Lian Xing hesitated.

    She wanted to reveal Star Sand’s information and claim the daughter right then and there, but she was worried about this deer’s retaliation, if she wasn’t strong enough. What if it broke the agreement…?

    After all, both Moonwalkers and Star Sand were high-ranking Legends. What if they hit it off and kicked her out? Wouldn’t she become the victim…?

    As for pet beast evolution information. Lian Xing felt that with her knowledge, she didn’t need to ask anyone.

    So, she didn’t really have any important questions to ask.

    At this moment, under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Lian Xing hesitated for a full minute before finally asking cautiously, “Actually…”

    “I like mature, voluptuous, gentle, and elegant beauties like you, Milady.”

    “Milady, are you seeing anyone…?”

    “…”
    “…”

    In the ensuing silence, the other four girls assumed that they would be transported back after the golden-haired girl finished asking her question.

    But as the golden-haired girl spoke, the bride deer’s expression turned strange.

    Meanwhile, Lian Xing felt a shiver of nervousness.

    Heh, a newborn Moonwalker is nothing. If I’m going to pursue someone, it’ll be the strongest, the Big Moonwalker…!!!

    As long as I win the heart of the Big Moonwalker, the little one will be easy to handle…~~~~

    By then, forget about son-in-law and daughter-in-law, I’ll gladly take her as my own daughter!!!

    Under Lian Xing’s slightly anxious gaze, the bride deer’s expression quickly shifted from shock to shyness…

    It blushed, covering its mouth with a hoof, and chuckled.

    “Oh my, child, what are you saying? I’m old and faded… I don’t have those thoughts anymore. You should focus your attention on my daughter~~~”

    “No, I only like you , Milady. Please, give me a chance~~~” Lian Xing pleaded, acting cute.

    Seeing this, the bride deer was flustered.

    Was this a marriage competition or a blind date…?

    “Fine, if you’re the first to successfully form a contract, I’ll reward you once…” it said after a moment of contemplation, giving in.

    To be honest, it didn’t have much hope for Lian Xing. This conclusion was based on the identities and abilities of the other four candidates.

    Especially the fishtailed girl whose pet beasts’ levels had been reset. She had been deeply marked by Rainwater. After this transformation, contracting Rainwater was only a matter of time.

    And the elemental girl from Ethereal Thunder Marsh, as an incredibly rare Elemental Species hybrid, her appeal to Legends was far greater than anyone else present.

    As mentioned before, Elemental Species had weak possessiveness and rarely developed desires for their Beast Tamers!

    [Except for Moonwalkers]

    So, even among hybrids, Elemental Species hybrids were incredibly rare!!

    This meant that Lian Xing, a villager from a 10th-level region, her chances of winning were slim.

    But if a miracle happened, and this golden-haired girl became the first to contract a Legend…

    Then, rewarding her once wouldn’t be a big deal, right?

    Thinking of this, the bride deer licked its lips, its face flushed.

    To be honest, it had been a long time. It would be like a pre-marital inspection for its daughter…

    “…”
    “…”
    “I…won…”

    As the bride deer finished speaking, a white light enveloped the five girls. As her vision blurred, Lian Xing muttered excitedly to herself, using all her willpower to resist the urge to reveal that she already had Star Sand.

    After all, she didn’t really want to spend the night with the bride deer. She just wanted to latch onto its thigh and enjoy the benefits…

    With a Legend at the peak of evolution as her partner, resources, information, bed partners, the future…they would all be within her grasp.

    Since the other four couldn’t possibly contract a Legend anytime soon, she could announce her victory whenever she wanted~~

    Well, a professional gold digger wouldn’t just blurt out “I want money”~~~

    So, she would observe for a while, learn more about the Moonwalker mother and daughter, and then make her decision…

    Lian Xing, feeling smug and in control…

    Had no idea…

    …that once you caught the attention of such a being, there was no easy escape.

    Moreover, with her unique hybrid constitution, she couldn’t even handle ordinary humans. There was no way she could satisfy a lustful being that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

    Her greed and actions today would come back to haunt her…

    10th-level region, Baiyue Province, Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.

    In a forest reduced to a charred wasteland, a girl with long, golden hair and delicate, white skin slowly opened her eyes. She blinked her starry eyes and stood up from the scorched ground. Looking down, she saw a city in ruins.

    The sky was dark.

    The air for thousands of kilometers was turbulent.

    All the buildings were gone.

    This scene of devastation, this was the handiwork of the Heaven-Gracing Curtain and Calamity Sun…

    “I woke up…and everything’s like this…”

    “Well, I was unconscious. I don’t know anything. Blame that idiot who did this~~~”

    Lian Xing scratched her head sheepishly, shifting the blame as she assessed her current state. Seeing her pet beast panel, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of despair.

    Heaven-Gracing Curtain, dead.

    Star Sand, asleep.

    Red Prison Palace Master, exhausted after using its Red Quality combat skill.

    This meant…she didn’t have a single usable pet beast right now…

    Suddenly, she noticed something strange on her hand and raised her arm in surprise. A beautiful, white diamond ring adorned her left ring finger. A lifelike ice antler was carved in the center of the ring, surrounded by swirling white mist, as if it were alive.

    “This is…”

    “A token of love…?”

    “It’s quite pretty~~~” Lian Xing, naked and unashamed, admired the ring.

    At this moment, a line of text, formed from Pet Essence, appeared before her eyes.

    [Children, you’ve all received the token, right?]

    [Every week on this day, you can use this ring to enter the cloud space and gather. You can also use it to sense each other’s locations.]

    [But please refrain from fighting each other. Whenever a major event occurs, I will send the five of you on a mission together.]

    [Please reply to confirm receipt.]

    A moment later, a blank input field appeared before Lian Xing.

    After pondering for a few seconds, Lian Xing typed a message, adding an emoji.

    [Got it, darling. ??]

    Having taken advantage of the Big Moonwalker…

    Before Lian Xing could even figure out how to leave this place, a strange, silver figure appeared in her vision.

    Amidst the chaotic, black energy field, a silver-haired girl, her clothes destroyed by the devastating shockwave, her body covered only in silver scales, dragged herself forward with a white dragon tail protruding from her lower body. The featureless mask on her face had shattered, revealing a small, deformed silver dragon horn.

    At this moment, the dragon-like girl was struggling to find Lian Xing’s trail in the lingering aura of Calamity Sun.

    Just like how an Elemental Species’ map-wide bombardment wouldn’t affect its own master, Lian Xing, as the one who had ordered the Heaven-Gracing Curtain to throw Calamity Sun, hadn’t been affected by the blast.

    But Silver Dragon was different. As an outsider, the moment she entered this area, she felt an intense pressure, as if gravity had increased tenfold. Not only did she need the Heavenly Windless Clothes’ full power to withstand the energy, but she was also forced to revert to her hybrid form just to move.

    A few seconds later, as Silver Dragon raised her head with difficulty, she finally saw the golden figure in the distance, staring at her with wide eyes.

    Their eyes met, and both were speechless.

    So, you’re also a hybrid…

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 88

    Chapter 88: Lian Xing is a Hybrid! ?

    Within the boundless expanse of clouds, the expressions of all five girls changed drastically after the bride deer revealed their shared experience.

    Rainwater, Curfew, Thousand Jin, Libra…

    These four of the 72 Legends had all appeared within the past century. And none of them had chosen a master or even a partner, known for their elusive, solitary nature. But for some reason, they had all appeared simultaneously…

    This meant…

    The girls before it were the lucky ones who had been affected by the Legends’ characteristics.

    Thinking of this, they looked at the naked golden-haired girl again.

    So, which Legend had she encountered…?

    It’s Star Sand, of course~~

    Lian Xing was speechless.

    She hadn’t expected that simply using Star Sand would transport her to this strange place. She wondered if her physical body had been moved or was still sleeping.

    Under their curious gazes, the bride deer revealed the truth.

    “August 22nd, 427621, 11:07 AM, one of the 72 Legends, [Calamity Sun], appeared in the 10th-level region, Baiyue Province, and was…thrown…”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Calamity Sun!!!” Before Lian Xing’s underdeveloped brain could even process the information, the armless girl gasped in disbelief.

    As residents of a higher-level region, they naturally knew that Calamity Sun had been lost after the leader of the Cycle of Calamity was defeated.

    How could Calamity Sun possibly appear in a 10th-level region!?

    And who was its user?

    Lian Xing was also dumbfounded.

    Shouldn’t the Legend she encountered be Star Sand…?

    Wait, Calamity Sun was here!?

    What the hell was going on…

    Speaking of which, what had happened to Baiyue Province after she fainted?

    Suddenly, Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened as a thought crossed her mind.

    The one who had thrown Calamity Sun couldn’t be…

    “Casualties?”

    “How many casualties were there?” the Elemental Species hybrid, her body crackling with purple lightning, asked curiously.

    According to records, when Calamity Sun first awakened, the leader of the Cycle of Calamity had casually thrown it, piercing through over a dozen regions, causing over 140 billion casualties. And now, since this bride deer had mentioned “a throwing event,” the casualties must have been catastrophic…

    Combining that with their own experiences, could it be that this golden-haired girl was the sole survivor, the chosen one protected by Calamity Sun’s power?

    So that was why she wasn’t wearing any clothes…

    “Actually…there weren’t many casualties~~~”

    “The question is…”

    “What did those Legends do to you…?” the bride deer asked, changing the subject.

    Hearing this, the girls looked at each other, especially the fishtailed girl with teardrop-shaped eyes, her expression as gloomy as a stormy sea.

    After a moment of silence, she asked, “Since you brought us here it means…you can fix…what happened to me, right?”

    “The levels of all four of my Royal-Tier pet beasts have been reset, they’ve reverted to their Juvenile forms. Is there anything you can do?”

    “…”
    “…”

    Silence fell.

    Even Lian Xing, who had been spacing out, looked at the fishtailed girl with pity.

    That was rough…

    Four Royal-Tier pet beasts reset, even a genius from a higher-level region would lose years of progress and resources.

    But, that was still nothing compared to the pain of losing an Ancient Species!!!

    Meanwhile, facing the fishtailed girl’s question, the bride deer shook its head casually.

    “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Why don’t you guess what the two of you have in common~~?”

    “One, we’re all beautiful.”

    “Two, we’re all victims of the Legends.” The tall, white-haired woman raised her hand eagerly, answering first.

    However, the deer didn’t even react.

    “We’re all victims of the Legends, and…”

    “We’re all virgins…!!” the Elemental Species hybrid blurted out.

    Hearing this, the fishtailed girl’s eye twitched.

    Clearly, she wasn’t.

    “We’re all beneficiaries of the Legends, and…”

    “We’re all human-pet hybrids…” the armless, black-haired girl said hesitantly.

    This was nonsense. Everyone shook their heads, speechless.

    First, how could the girl whose four Royal-Tier pet beasts had been reset be considered a beneficiary? And how was this golden-haired girl with starry eyes a hybrid?

    However, to everyone’s surprise, the bride deer nodded, smiling.

    “Correct~~~”

    “Huh?”

    “Aaaaah!!!” Hearing this, the white-haired woman gasped, then screamed in embarrassment, covering her face with her furry paws, unable to look at the golden-haired girl.

    The reactions of the other beast girls weren’t as dramatic, but their expressions were still filled with shock.

    They had assumed that the golden-haired girl was human, but it turned out she was a hybrid like them.

    This instantly amplified the appeal of her nakedness by a thousand times…

    It was like a pet that never wore clothes suddenly turning into a human. The impact on their minds and bodies was significant…

    But the most confused person present was Lian Xing herself.

    She was a hybrid?

    How come she didn’t know…?

    She didn’t have any of the physical characteristics of a Biological Species hybrid, nor was she surrounded by elemental energy like an Elemental Species hybrid. She didn’t have any strange appendages like a Weapon Species or a Mechanical Species hybrid either. The only possibility was a Viral Species hybrid.

    But, she had heard that Viral Species hybrids could use their bodies as storage space…

    So, Lian Xing tried to store something in her body. Unsurprisingly, it was just a delusional fantasy, proving that she wasn’t a hybrid.

    “Actually, I’m really not a hybrid…” Lian Xing protested weakly after a moment of hesitation.

    However, the bride deer wasn’t surprised. It walked around Lian Xing a few times, then whispered in her ear, “Are you…fast…?”

    “Slap!”

    Lian Xing quickly covered the deer’s mouth, her face flushed.

    She understood.

    She might actually be a hybrid…, but it wasn’t externally visible. Her internal organs were different from a human’s. This meant that if you cut open her stomach, you wouldn’t see intestines or a spleen, but something else…

    After all, in her memories, she had been an orphan since birth, so even if she were a hybrid, it wouldn’t be that strange.

    Lian Xing quickly accepted this fact.

    Being a hybrid wasn’t a bad thing. Now she could not only attract human girls, but also those beautiful hybrid girls. Her options had expanded significantly.

    “Wait, even if she’s a hybrid, I can’t possibly be a beneficiary of the Legends!” the fishtailed girl with teardrop-shaped eyes protested.

    The bride deer gently freed itself from Lian Xing’s grasp, then returned to its original position, looking at the fishtailed girl with a smile.

    “Oh, really?”

    “Have you ever considered that your evolution path is wrong…?”

    “All your pet beasts are Water-type, and they witnessed the Legend, Rainwater. Can you guarantee that they won’t change their minds…?”

    “What’s so bad about having their levels reset? Their combat skills and techniques are still there. Catching up is easy~~~”

    The fishtailed girl fell silent, considering the deer’s words.

    It was true, she had been struggling with this issue. Although having all four of her pet beasts’ levels reset was painful…

    Her main battle pet beast, whose evolution path had been blocked and had no chance of being reset, had actually been given a rare opportunity to start over. Whether this was a blessing or a curse, it was hard to say.

    No wonder she felt both pain and relief…

    After a moment of silence, the fishtailed girl asked, “Who are you?”

    “…”
    “…”
    “I’m just an ordinary deer~~~” the bride deer said, dismissing the question with a smile.

    “Also, it’s not entirely accurate to say that you’re beneficiaries of the Legends. To be precise, you’re the ones who were most deeply marked during this Legend courtship event—”

    “This means…you…”

    “Have a high chance of contracting the Legend you encountered today!!”

    Hearing this, the expressions of the girls turned to shock and disbelief.

    Meanwhile, Lian Xing lowered her head, the star patterns in her eyes twinkling rapidly.

    Based on this deer’s words, her previous guess was likely correct.

    It was highly probable that the Heaven-Gracing Curtain had thrown Calamity Sun while she was unconscious…

    Although she didn’t know the details, she had to return to reality as soon as possible and investigate the situation in Baiyue Province.

    After a pause, the deer continued, “My goal is simple: to strengthen your connection with the Legends, to bring you closer to them, until you finally become true Legend Beast Tamers!!!”

    “I can fulfill most of your requests, but…”

    “You will be forced to come here every week on this day. I will observe your progress, and then…”

    “I will choose…”

    “My “son-in-law”~~~”

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 87

    Chapter 87: The Gathering of the 72 Legends!!

    “BOOM!!!!!”

    Baiyue Province, Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.

    As the black meteor streaked across the sky, the once prosperous city was instantly reduced to ruins. Countless residents and small pet beasts who hadn’t evacuated in time were swept away. Silver Dragon, closest to the impact, was severely injured, her eyes almost blinded by the black meteor’s blinding light. She only survived by hiding within the Heavenly Windless Clothes’ protective barrier.

    Of course, the most…miserable…were the two Royal-Tier pet beasts caught in the blast.

    The golden six-tailed fox was blown to the edge of the city by the shockwave.

    Shuitianliang and the Merciless Rain were buried under the rubble, unconscious.

    The entire city was a desolate wasteland.

    This scene of devastation…

    This was the legend, the origin…of Calamity Sun, one of the 72 Legends!!!

    Calamity Sun had empowered the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, unleashing an attack that defied its Commander-Tier limitations, piercing through the skies of four consecutive regions, including Baiyue Province, finally dissipating after reaching the Qingyao Sea region.

    Meanwhile, the livestream equipment had been destroyed the moment Calamity Sun was launched, but the official livestream’s viewership continued to climb, even with the screen blacked out!

    Because even though they couldn’t see anything online, no one in Baiyue Province had missed that scene.

    That black meteor that had pierced through the sky…every living being in Baiyue Province had witnessed it!!

    Although everyone was shocked, they didn’t know what had actually happened.

    Who had won in the end?

    Why hadn’t Baiyue Province been destroyed?

    And…was Moon Rabbit Lian Xing still alive!?

    Only the former Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer knew the truth.

    No, perhaps…even it didn’t fully understand…

    Thirty minutes after the incident, someone finally traced the origin of Calamity Sun.

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    Above Baiyue Province, as a gust of wind howled, the sky suddenly darkened!!

    Without warning, a giant swift, its wings black and white, its body as vast as the sky, descended from the heavens, covering the clouds above Baiyue Province. Its size was beyond the comprehension of ordinary Beast Tamers.

    Any pet beast before it seemed like a…tiny ant…

    Even a slight flap of its wings could create a devastating shockwave.

    Under the horrified gazes of the survivors, the giant swift circled Baiyue Province a few times, then suddenly vanished with a “pop,” turning into a tiny black dot. A few seconds later, a small swift, its wings fluttering gently, landed on the ruins of the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.

    It frowned, looking around, its expression puzzled.

    “Strange…”

    “The source of Calamity Sun was clearly here…but the aura has completely disappeared…”

    “But, what kind of battle could have attracted Calamity Sun…?”

    “This level of destruction and casualties…it doesn’t look like an Emperor-level battle…”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Right, let’s rewind the Pet Essence flow in the air to a few hours ago and see what appeared~~~” the small swift muttered to itself, casually flapping its wings.

    In an instant, time froze.

    A strange, transparent force field, like a barrier, enveloped the entire Baiyue Province. Soon, the chaotic Pet Essence flow, disrupted by Calamity Sun’s impact at the league venue, began to reverse and restore itself. Shimmering, visible lines of energy particles, flowed towards the small swift, converging around it.

    At this moment, Baoyu Shuitianliang, lying unconscious nearby, slowly opened her eyes. Her hair dishevelled and her fishtail scales shedding, she looked up at the swift with a weary expression.

    “Are you…the guardian of Qingyao Sea…?”

    “Could you help me…remove the rubble…”

    Before the blue-haired, fishtailed woman could finish speaking, the swift impatiently flapped its wings, sending her and the surrounding debris flying for hundreds of meters.

    Needless to say, Shuitianliang lost consciousness again.

    Ignoring her, the swift continued restoring the surrounding Pet Essence flow. A few minutes later, through the shape of the flow and the lingering scents and auras, it pieced together what had happened.

    “The Academy League?”

    “A remnant of the Cycle of Calamity, I see…”

    “But…how could a mere Royal-Tier member of the Cycle of Calamity attract Calamity Sun? Something doesn’t add up…”

    “Hmm? The scent trail ends here?”

    “Why can’t I trace who used Calamity Sun…?”

    “Wait, something’s not right. It seems someone deliberately used a force field to block this 10th-level region!?”

    The swift naturally couldn’t fully reconstruct the entire event just from the Pet Essence flow. Not even a god could do that. It was simply using its abilities and its understanding of auras to create a basic reconstruction.

    But it quickly noticed something amiss.

    The Pet Essence flow around the Baiyue Province Academy League venue was incomplete, as if someone had deliberately tampered with it.

    “Heh, such crude techniques~~~”

    “Do you think you can hide from me by doing this?”

    “It seems…Calamity Sun’s appearance was orchestrated…” Having reached this conclusion, the swift chuckled disdainfully.

    Although the deliberately disrupted Pet Essence flow prevented it from fully restoring the scene, as long as it could identify a fragment of the culprit’s aura, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, it would find them!!

    So, it abandoned the restoration, focusing all its energy on capturing the perpetrator.

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    The air rippled as the incomplete Pet Essence fragments converged, the culprit’s crude image about to materialize. Everything had been going smoothly so far.

    However, at that moment…

    As if seeing something unthinkable, the swift’s eyes widened in horror, its irises and eyeballs trembling uncontrollably.

    “Bang!”

    In the next second, without warning, its body exploded into a bloody mist, only a single cell of Pet Essence remaining, quivering in fear. A moment later, as the blood and flesh slowly regenerated, the swift’s body and bones reformed.

    Its face was pale, its entire body trembling.

    Without saying a word, the swift bowed deeply towards the empty air, then, as if fleeing for its life, soared into the sky and disappeared.

    “…”
    “…”

    Half a minute later, a woman with long, light blue hair cautiously emerged from the rubble, peering out. She wore the uniform of the 8th-level region, Qingyao Sea, a shiny badge with the Beast Tamer Association symbol on her chest. Clearly, she was the true guardian of Qingyao Sea.

    At this moment, the guardian of Qingyao Sea blinked, looking at the swift’s rapidly disappearing figure with a puzzled expression.

    “Isn’t that Millennium Marquis from the Association Headquarters?”

    “I never thought Calamity Sun would attract her…”

    “But, even an Emperor was scared away…could the situation here be that serious? Maybe I should run away too…?” Although she said that, seeing the unconscious, blue-haired, fishtailed girl lying nearby, she quickly rushed over to help.

    Clouds swirled, mist drifted, creating a dreamlike landscape.

    Inside an endless expanse of clouds, a naked girl, her long, golden hair barely covering her body, lay sleeping on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, she slowly opened her eyes. As her blurry vision cleared…

    Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened, and she immediately sat up, quickly checking her pet beast panel.

    [Heaven-Gracing Curtain LV114]

    [Red Prison Palace Master LV48]

    [Star Sand LV6]

    Hmm, everything’s normal, nothing happened.

    Since she could still open her pet beast panel, it meant she was still alive, still in reality, and hadn’t transmigrated again.

    “…”
    “…”
    “Wait—”

    “Normal my ass!!!” Lian Xing cursed, staring at the first line of her pet beast panel in disbelief.

    When did the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer evolve into Heaven-Gracing Curtain!?

    How was the High-Tier restriction of perfect evolution lifted?

    And why had her level increased so much!?

    What had happened while she was unconscious…

    Lian Xing was dumbfounded.

    She clearly remembered that after their first victory against the Extreme Cold Detonation, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s level had reached 97, and the other two had reached levels 48 and 6, respectively. But now, the other two remained the same, while…the Heaven-Gracing Curtain…

    It was as if it had single-handedly defeated a Royal-Tier pet beast afterward. Was this a joke…?

    In reality, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain hadn’t just defeated a Royal-Tier pet beast, it had even thrown the legendary Calamity Sun, its sense of fulfillment and satisfaction overflowing, even a sense of possessiveness and desire welling up within it.

    This was why it had instantly jumped to level 114.

    The level range for Mid-Tier pet beasts was 1-30.

    For Commander-Tier pet beasts, it was 60-100.

    This meant that if it weren’t for its newborn status due to perfect evolution, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain could already challenge the Royal-Tier realm!!!

    “Speaking of which, where is this…?”

    “It doesn’t look like Baiyue Province…”

    As Lian Xing looked around, the white mist surrounding the area suddenly dissipated with a “whoosh.” Her vision expanded, revealing a vast, dreamlike landscape of clouds.

    There was no ground here, only an endless sea of clouds.

    And Lian Xing realized that she wasn’t alone.

    Besides her, there were four other strange individuals.

    A girl with a blue, spiraling fishtail. Lian Xing initially thought it was Tian Quan, but then she noticed that the girl’s eyes were teardrop-shaped, as if she were constantly crying.

    A tall woman with long, white hair. Her hair was incredibly long, trailing on the ground like an animal’s fur.

    A girl with empty sleeves, her arms missing. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, her features delicate and flawless, a tragic beauty.

    And the last one…

    Lian Xing couldn’t help but question her species and composition. She only had a humanoid outline, her skin and features formed from purple lightning.

    Could this be a hybrid of an Elemental Species and a Beast Tamer!?

    The world was truly full of wonders…

    However, as Lian Xing observed the other four, they were all staring at her.

    The reason? She was… naked…

    After a moment of awkward eye contact, the black-haired girl with missing arms blushed and turned away, her expression shy. Meanwhile, Lian Xing, being stared at by four people, remained calm and indifferent.

    As mentioned before, Lian Xing’s only shame was about her legs. As long as she was wearing stockings, she didn’t care. But now, without stockings, she still felt no shame, because these four freaks…weren’t even human!!!

    Would anyone be embarrassed to change clothes in front of their pets?

    Two Biological Species hybrids, one Elemental Species hybrid, and one armless girl, who seemed to be a Weapon Species hybrid…

    “Ahem~~~”

    At this moment, a soft cough drew their attention.

    A graceful, white figure slowly emerged from the endless sea of clouds.

    Seeing this creature…

    All five of them felt a chill.

    It was a small deer, its body covered in snow-white fur, icy antlers on its head. It wore white high heels on all four hooves and a translucent, white wedding dress.

    A few seconds later, the bride deer gracefully approached them.

    “Who are you?”

    “Where is this?” the Elemental Species hybrid, her body crackling with purple lightning, asked.

    However, the deer ignored her question, instead walking towards the fishtailed girl, its voice soft and childlike.

    “August 22nd, 427621, 11:07 AM, one of the 72 Legends, [Rainwater], descended upon the 2nd-level region, Worry-Free Pond, causing the levels of 1.6 billion Water-type pet beasts to be forcibly reset.”

    The moment the deer finished speaking, the fishtailed girl’s teardrop-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. Ignoring her reaction, the deer casually walked towards the white-haired woman.

    “August 22nd, 427621, 11:11 AM, one of the 72 Legends, [Curfew], descended upon the 3rd-level region, Ice and Snow Kingdom, forcing 130 billion contracted pet beasts to return to their Beast Tamers.”

    Then, the deer looked at the armless girl.

    “August 22nd, 427621, 11:08 AM, one of the 72 Legends, [Thousand Jin], descended upon the 3rd-level region, Ancient Sword City, causing all contracted Weapon Species pet beasts to experience…death…”

    Next, it turned to the elemental girl.

    “August 22nd, 427621, 11:10 AM, one of the 72 Legends, [Libra], descended upon the 2nd-level region,Ethereal Thunder Marsh, scrambling the evolution requirements of 360 billion pet beasts.”

    As the deer finished speaking, the expressions of the four girls turned grim.

    They had only known that their own regions had been affected by a Legend. They hadn’t realized that so many incidents had occurred simultaneously.

    The simultaneous appearance of multiple 72 Legends…this wasn’t a coincidence, it was orchestrated…!!!

    Finally, the deer turned to look at the naked, golden-haired girl.

    Lian Xing blinked innocently.

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 86p2

    Chapter 86: Moonlight Rabbit Evolves, Calamity Sun’s Strike!! p2

    Five minutes later, Silver Dragon, enveloped in the Heavenly Windless Clothes’ wind, had evacuated the city and was heading towards the location where Lian Xing had crashed, when a bone-chilling cold washed over her. She stopped involuntarily, looking at the forest ahead, her body covered in goosebumps.

    “Get out of here!!!” Both the Heavenly Windless Clothes and the Silver Wing Dimension within her sent out urgent warnings.

    Meanwhile, standing in the devastated forest, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, half-conscious, clutched the black sphere in its paw.

    [Let’s play a game.]

    [Let’s see how far you can throw me!!]

    As the two lines of black text appeared, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer felt like its entire body was about to collapse. Already heavily injured and on the verge of death, with its master, Lian Xing, unconscious, it was practically impossible for it to even stand.

    Because what it held in its paw…

    Was Calamity Sun, one of the 72 Legends, a spherical Weapon Species!!!

    It couldn’t even comprehend how Calamity Sun had ended up here. It was simply following its instincts as a throwing-type pet beast, wanting to challenge its limits, to unleash its strongest throw with Calamity Sun!!!

    But it was impossible…

    Even ordinary Royal-Tier pet beasts couldn’t withstand Calamity Sun’s backlash. As a mere High-Tier pet beast, it couldn’t possibly use Calamity Sun. The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer knew this.

    At this moment, its paw, holding the black sphere, trembled, its body and fur withering as if all its blood had been drained. It couldn’t even maintain its grip.

    Because around Calamity Sun’s surface, there was an incredibly powerful aura of destruction. As its throwing speed increased, this aura would expand, covering a wider and wider area. But even its initial, dormant state was unbearable for a normal Royal-Tier pet beast.

    No matter what…

    Even if it was just a swing…

    It had to complete this throw!!!

    To throw Calamity Sun…it was the ultimate dream of all throwing-type pet beasts!!!

    The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer thought.

    No…

    It wasn’t just about completing the throw.

    It also had to defeat that Royal-Tier pet beast!!!

    That thing had dared to harm its master!!!

    Unforgivable…

    Like a flashing slideshow, countless thoughts raced through the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s mind, but its body withered, losing all its strength, and Calamity Sun slipped from its grasp.

    Unfortunately, with its current strength, it couldn’t use Calamity Sun.

    And it couldn’t defeat that Royal-Tier pet beast…

    “…”
    “…”
    “Buzz—”

    However, at that moment, the surrounding air seemed to pause.

    Just as Calamity Sun was about to hit the ground, time and space froze for an instant, and then it was caught by a soft, white band.

    “Boom!!!!”

    In the next second, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s body exploded, a wave of scorching steam erupting. The violent wind swept through the forest, uprooting countless trees.

    The mountains shook, the earth trembled.

    Under this terrifying aura, the Juvenile Species Moonlight Rabbit was sent flying, screaming as it tumbled down a cliff.

    A moment later, as the wind subsided…

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    A white Moonlight Rabbit, in a new form, emerged from the smoke. Its body was smaller and more delicate, less than two meters tall, its fur and outline significantly reduced. The number and shape of its ears remained the same, but a soft, white band now floated behind its shoulders, swaying in the wind.

    Its arms, shorter than its ears, were bound by white shackles, as if it were a prisoner. And its eyes were covered by a white blindfold, giving it a unique and alluring appearance.

    This was…

    The Moonlight Rabbit, Commander-Tier evolution!!!

    Commander-Tier — Biological Species — Heaven-Gracing Curtain!!!

    The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, its level already around 90 after defeating the Royal-Tier pet beast alongside Star Sand and the Red Prison Palace Master, had finally transcended its limitations!!!

    After all, if it evolved now…it could successfully throw Calamity Sun, right…?

    Only by evolving…could it defeat a Royal-Tier pet beast!!

    An undefeated victory.

    That was perfection!!!

    At this moment, the white band behind its shoulders descended, one end wrapping around the falling Calamity Sun, the other gently enveloping the unconscious golden-haired girl, carrying her like a mummy.

    “Whew~~~~”

    After securing its mother , the Heaven-Gracing Curtain exhaled. In the next second, the connected spore sac on its six ears rapidly inflated, enveloping half of its body like a cocoon, enclosing all its throwing appendages, forming a grotesque, fleshy balloon.

    This was a characteristic inherited from a certain Rare Species by the spore sac of Six Ears.

    By fusing all its throwing appendages, it could unleash half of their combined power!!!

    However, unlike the distributed power of nine appendages, this was a single attack with 450% power!!!

    It was like the difference between firing nine shots from a pistol and firing one shot from a sniper rifle…

    At this moment, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s band wrapped around the black sphere, gently placing it inside the spore sac’s opening. A few seconds later, the entire white, fleshy balloon began to vibrate, emitting a loud hissing sound as steam escaped.

    Then, as the power reached its peak, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain aimed its single firing port towards the Academy League venue.

    One of the 72 Legends, Calamity Sun…

    At this moment, it would once again show the world…

    The origin of its name!!!

    “…”
    “…”
    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    In the next second, as the spore sac exploded, a deafening black nuclear blast erupted, consuming the entire forest. The sky for hundreds of kilometers around turned pitch black.

    The buildings in the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters city were instantly obliterated, countless rocks and trees vanishing, as if erased by a god. Meanwhile, Silver Dragon, standing below, her body trembling, watched in disbelief as a black meteor streaked across the sky above Baiyue Province.

    Along its path, darkness fell, stars extinguished, a true embodiment of disaster.

    “What…is that…?” Silver Dragon muttered, her voice hoarse, her eyes wide with shock.

    She watched as the black meteor pierced through the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters and vanished in an instant, like a falling star, disappearing beyond the horizon. But even with her enhanced vision, she couldn’t see its final destination.

    Baiyue Province, Academy League venue.

    About five minutes had passed since the battle began, and most of the residents and participants had evacuated. However, the little fox and Shuitianliang were being pushed back by the Extreme Cold Detonation’s power, their injuries mounting, their strength fading.

    If not for that Red Quality combat skill, they might have had a chance.

    But facing a Red Quality combat skill unleashed by a Royal-Tier pet beast, they couldn’t even fight back, only endure the relentless assault.

    “It’s coming again…”

    “We can’t withstand it this time…” the golden six-tailed fox said, its body covered in frost, its expression grim.

    She had naively thought that they could lure this Royal-Tier pet beast here, and then, with Baoyu Shuitianliang’s help, defeat it.

    Now it seemed…

    That was just a fantasy.

    They were no match for this healthy Royal-Tier pet beast…

    And Lian Xing, who had been so close to victory…her plan had been ruined by the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s betrayal.

    “Sigh, if only Lian Xing were here…”

    “She would definitely know how to turn the tide…”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Heh—”

    “You fools!!!” Hearing the golden fox’s complaint, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain sneered.

    With the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s power, and her own knowledge of beast taming, even Moon Rabbit Lian Xing at her peak wouldn’t stand a chance. After defeating these two insignificant Royal-Tier pet beasts, she would destroy the entire Baiyue Province, erasing all evidence of her actions.

    However…

    At that moment, they all sensed something.

    The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King, the golden six-tailed fox, and Baoyu Shuitianliang, all three of them looked towards a certain direction, their expressions filled with horror.

    It was the direction where Moon Rabbit Lian Xing had been blown away…

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    In the next second, without warning, a black meteor streaked across the sky, piercing through the venue. The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s hard, Royal-Tier life crystal, at the meteor’s trajectory, shattered like an egg, offering no resistance.

    At the same time, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s body was instantly torn apart, simply from being grazed by the black meteor’s aura.

    Only her head remained, her expression shifting from joy to terror.

    The golden fox and Baoyu Shuitianliang, although unharmed, were terrified, watching as the black meteor, after piercing through the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s crystal, continued its flight, disappearing into the distance.

    At this moment, sensing the approaching death, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s mind raced, its gaze fixed on the origin of the black meteor.

    This familiar aura…

    How could it not recognize it!?

    More importantly, how could this thing be here!?

    “How could I…die here…”

    “And why are you here!!!”

    “Calamity Sun!!!!!”

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    In the next second, as the Extreme Cold Detonation’s consciousness faded, the residual energy exploded, a black wave of destruction engulfing the area, sending the golden fox and Shuitianliang flying like dust particles.

    At this moment, they witnessed the city’s destruction and…

    The black meteor, which had vanished after piercing through the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King.

    [August 22nd, 427621, 11:00]

    [One of the 72 Legends, Calamity Sun, has descended upon the 10th-level region, Baiyue Province. Its user is unknown, and the reason for its appearance is unknown.]

    [Starting from the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association Headquarters, Calamity Sun pierced through the skies of four consecutive regions, finally disappearing at the edge of the 8th-level region, Qingyao Sea, its whereabouts unknown.]

    [Casualties are minimal, negligible.]

    Within a field of annihilating black energy…

    The forest was gone.

    At this moment, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, its body shattered, lay under a charred tree, the white band behind its shoulders tightly protecting the unconscious golden-haired girl, shielding her from harm.

    But the Heaven-Gracing Curtain itself was a mess.

    This was the price of throwing Calamity Sun…

    Because even most users couldn’t withstand the backlash…

    The Royal-Tier pet beast, the Nether Crystal Hand, had died this way.

    However, at this moment, a faint smile appeared on the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s lips. It had achieved the ultimate dream of all throwing-type Biological Species.

    [This is still far from enough. Keep trying~~~]

    The message, formed from Calamity Sun’s aura, slowly faded.

    Yes, the next time we meet…

    I’ll be even stronger…

    Hopefully, by then…I can truly…control you…

    Thinking of this, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s body shattered, turning into black dust that scattered in the wind. And its consciousness returned to Lian Xing.

    Soon, the white band unraveled, and the golden-haired girl, her body bathed in holy light, lay on the ground, sleeping soundly, oblivious to what had transpired.

    As the Winter’s Embrace combat skill activated, the entire league venue was enveloped in a bone-chilling cold, the icy branches and leaves of the ancient tree spreading rapidly, creating an impenetrable barrier.

    Imagine, the Red Prison Palace Master, a High-Tier mutated pet beast, its Red Quality combat skill already possessed devastating power. What about a Red Quality combat skill used by a Royal-Tier pet beast?

    The chilling aura spread outwards, and even the other Beast Tamers surrounding the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain felt a surge of tension.

    The little fox and Shuitianliang were fine, they were Royal-Tier pet beasts after all.

    However, for the other Ten Greats who had joined forces, simply being near this Red Quality combat skill’s aura was incredibly oppressive.

    Meanwhile, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain, her body unaffected by the cold, clenched her fist, a smug look on her face.

    “So this is…the power of a Royal-Tier pet beast…?”

    “This is the world beyond Baiyue Province!!!”

    “From now on, even Commander-Tier Beast Tamers will have to look up to me!!!”

    “Boom!!!!”

    However, before she could finish her arrogant speech, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, landing directly on her head. A large section of the venue was charred, scorching heat filling the air, the Lightning Princess’s terrifying aura crackling around it.

    But a few seconds later, as the smoke cleared, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain remained unharmed, standing motionless. She narrowed her eyes, glaring at the Lightning Princess and Lei Ji.

    “Insects…so eager to die…?”

    “The Extreme Cold Detonation and I are still getting acquainted. You’re perfect for practice…!!!”

    “Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

    As she spoke, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain waved her hand. Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the icy ancient tree, forming countless eye-shaped holes.

    The Red Quality combat skill — Winter’s Embrace, activated!!!

    “Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

    Without warning, a barrage of ice-blue beams erupted from the thousands of tree holes, shooting towards every corner of the league venue like concentrated lasers. Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically, but it was too late to react. The venue was pierced and shattered by the ice beams, many spectators who hadn’t evacuated yet instantly turning into ice sculptures.

    The golden six-tailed fox’s face paled, its six tails rapidly wrapping around its body, forming a giant ball. The Lightning Princess, carrying Lei Ji, dodged the ice beams with its lightning-charged magnetic field, but a single graze instantly froze them solid.

    Silver Dragon, protected by the Heavenly Windless Clothes, endured a few hits, then, her expression grim, entered the Silver Wing Dimension’s void, seeking temporary shelter. However, the ice beams pierced through the Viral Species’s void, freezing Silver Dragon solid.

    Tian Quan, enveloped in the Sea-Dried Bright Moon’s protective barrier, thought she was safe, but a single beam drained most of the Sea-Dried Bright Moon’s power. Tian Quan’s face turned pale. At the critical moment, Bing Zhuyu swooped down, using its own ice barrier to shield her, narrowly saving her.

    However, facing the relentless barrage of ice beams, Bing Zhuyu’s stamina also rapidly depleted. Five seconds later, Bing Zhuyu’s ice barrier shattered, and both Tian Quan and the Sea-Dried Bright Moon were frozen solid.

    At the same time, Xinghong’s giant purple crow folded its wings, protecting its master. But it was constantly bombarded by the ice beams, its body riddled with holes, covered in frost.

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    After a dozen seconds, the relentless barrage finally ended.

    When everyone opened their eyes again, the world was a frozen wasteland. All the buildings within a radius of several kilometers had been turned to ice, even the sky above Baiyue Province was scarred with countless ice trails.

    With a single attack, the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters had fallen…

    “How beautiful…”

    “None of the Ten Greats could withstand it!!!”

    “This is the power of a Royal-Tier pet beast!!!” The Ice Palace Academy vice-captain, looking at the devastated, icy landscape, her expression becoming increasingly fanatic.

    She had never imagined that she could slaughter the Ten Greats like this!!!

    It was all Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s fault…

    Why had she prevented others from contracting the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King!?

    Just a simple request and they could have become invincible Royal-Tier Beast Tamers! Those spectators who were too afraid of Lian Xing to even try, they were all fools!!!

    Meanwhile, as the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain reveled in her newfound power…

    Baoyu Shuitianliang, the only one unaffected, held a water-blue umbrella, her expression grim as she exhaled a cold breath. A few seconds later, with a “crack,” the ice encasing the golden sphere shattered. The golden fox, its six tails unfurling, emerged, its expression pale and its body trembling, blood trickling from the corner of its mouth. It sneezed several times, looking at the still-intact icy ancient tree in disbelief.

    “Wasn’t that skill supposed to be a one-time use…?”

    “Why hasn’t it disappeared yet!!!”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Heh, Winter’s Embrace is a permanent terrain effect. It activates automatically every minute. How could mere insects from a 10th-level region understand the power of a Red Quality combat skill!?” the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King sneered from within the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s body.

    Without Star Sand’s restriction, it was feeling exhilarated.

    However, the thought of its current master being a weakling made it feel a bit disappointed.

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    Suddenly, as Baoyu Shuitianliang closed her umbrella, a wave of invisible water energy enveloped the venue.

    Royal-Tier — Elemental Species — Merciless Rain.

    A gentle rain, like a soft breeze, washed over the area, slowly thawing everyone who had been frozen by the ice beams. Silver Dragon, recovering inside the Silver Wing Dimension’s void, shivered, her expression furious, and immediately prepared to attack the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain.

    However, before she could even take a step, she was blocked by a golden fox tail.

    “Go, evacuate everyone from the city. Leave this to Baoyu and me. Before a Royal-Tier pet beast’s power, a Commander-Tier is powerless!!!”

    “Go find Lian Xing and take her away from Baiyue Province…” the golden fox said urgently.

    As the ice melted, the other Ten Greats, including Tian Quan, regained their senses, their expressions grim. They all realized that before this Royal-Tier pet beast… they were just burdens…

    Silver Dragon nodded, her figure blurring as she vanished from the Baiyue Province league venue. Lei Ji, Tian Quan, and Xinghong also started retreating in different directions.

    Just as she was about to leave, Xinghong had her giant purple crow spit a mouthful of saliva.

    “Bang!!!”

    In the next second, the saliva, transformed into a barrage of stone-like projectiles, struck the frozen ground behind the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain, startling her.

    “Heehee, free experience~~~” With a parting shot, Xinghong fled, disappearing from sight.

    The Ice Palace Academy vice-captain, furious, was about to chase after her when she was stopped by the golden six-tailed fox and Shuitianliang.

    “My pet beast is a support type, and hers is pure offense.”

    “We can’t hold her off. Quickly request reinforcements from a 7th-level region!!”

    “If possible, contact the guardian of a 6th-level region!!!” Shuitianliang said, her expression grim, staring at the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain.

    She had only reached Royal-Tier a few years ago and knew the difference in strength between them and this mutated Royal-Tier pet beast.

    However, hearing this, the golden six-tailed fox scratched its head sheepishly.

    “I already requested reinforcements, but…”

    “Baiyue Province’s signal seems to be blocked by some strange force field. It can’t get through. It’s been like this since Moon Rabbit’s Star Sand appeared…”

    “…”
    “Why didn’t you say so earlier!?” Shuitianliang said, her eyes widening in disbelief.

    “I thought the signal would recover soon…but it’s still not working~~~”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Duh, if the signal could get through, there would already be Emperors here to witness…the Legend.”

    Hearing their comical conversation, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King, inside the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s body, rolled its eyes.

    Did they not even understand the allure of a Legend to those powerful beings?

    10th-level regions were truly peaceful…

    Meanwhile, seeing the desperate situation of the Ten Greats and the two Royal-Tier guardians, the Baiyue Province livestream chat was filled with anxiety.

    “Are the guardian of Baiyue Province and Baoyu Shuitianliang going to lose?”

    “Wait, if they do…aren’t we next?”

    “Can someone explain what’s going on? Why is this year’s Baiyue Province Academy League so different…? Although my pet beast is leveling up rapidly just from watching this Royal-Tier pet beast fight, which is nice…”

    “Nice my ass! Didn’t you see that bastard trying to destroy the entire Baiyue Province? We should start evacuating!!”

    “Yeah, I heard that a Royal-Tier pet beast can destroy a region in just a few hours…”

    “Speaking of which, what happened to Moon Rabbit? If she recovers, Star Sand can suppress the opponent again, right?”

    Amidst the discussion, everyone realized something.

    Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, a High-Tier Beast Tamer, had actually managed to beat up that overwhelmingly powerful Royal-Tier pet beast.

    Her true strength was absurd…

    If not for the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s sudden betrayal, that Royal-Tier pet beast would probably be a life crystal by now, right?

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 85p2

    Chapter 85: Lian Xing’s Ancient Species!!! p2

    What had happened? The seemingly doomed Royal-Tier pet beast had been saved!?

    And Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, the almost invincible had been defeated by a fluke…

    Who had done this!?

    Under everyone’s gaze, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain slowly emerged from the ruins, her forced composure hiding a surge of joy, as she walked towards the unconscious Lian Xing. Undoubtedly, she was the one who had stolen the kill at the last moment, secretly contracting the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King!!!

    This was why Lian Xing had forbidden Beast Tamers specializing in Ice and Water from approaching. They couldn’t resist the temptation of contracting a wild Royal-Tier pet beast.

    “Boom!!!”

    In the next second, a giant golden fox tail blocked her path.

    Under the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s confused gaze, the giant six-tailed fox with shimmering, golden fur lowered its head, its voice filled with displeasure, “What are you doing?”

    “You’ve already contracted that Royal-Tier pet beast. Why are you attacking Moon Rabbit!?”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Heh, I’m just fulfilling a promise to my pet beast. Are you, the guardian and president, going to stop me?” the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain asked, shrugging nonchalantly.

    A few seconds later, Baoyu Shuitianliang also approached, her expression cold, blocking the other girl’s escape route. Seeing this, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain felt a pang of fear and confusion, but she quickly regained her composure.

    “Oh? Is the strongest Beast Tamer in Baiyue Province also going to stop me…?”

    “Is that Moon Rabbit really that valuable?”

    “Or…were the three of you in cahoots from the beginning? Why else would Moon Rabbit attack my baby without warning? That’s a serious violation!”

    “Is the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association just decoration? They don’t even care about such a blatant act?” The Ice Palace Academy vice-captain tried to incite the crowd with her lies.

    However, she was only met with the exasperated and contemptuous gazes of the two Royal-Tier pet beasts.

    The golden six-tailed fox shook its head and explained, “Child, you’re thinking too simply…”

    “The Emperor of the Cycle of Calamity is heavily injured and dying. The Cycle of Calamity is falling apart. Those who have been harmed by them…they won’t let any of them escape.”

    “Right now, those beings beyond our comprehension are still dealing with the remaining Monarchs and Emperors, but…they’ll soon turn their attention to the Royal-Tier members. No matter what, Baiyue Province won’t let you go.”

    “…”
    “…”

    Hearing this, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s expression changed slightly. But after a brief explanation from the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King within her, she quickly calmed down.

    “Even so, it’s none of your business!”

    “I’m not going to live in the shadow of Phantom Sea Academy forever! This is a perfect opportunity! I can finally leave Baiyue Province! No Beast Tamer here can compare to me! I earned this with my own efforts!!!”

    “Get out of my way! I’m going to eliminate that arrogant Moon Rabbit!!!” As the girl’s angry voice echoed, a wave of chilling cold erupted from her body, the aura of a mutated Royal-Tier pet beast, making Shuitianliang and the little fox’s expressions change drastically.

    No matter what, according to the Extreme Cold Detonation, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain had to eliminate the injured and unconscious Lian Xing.

    Otherwise, once Lian Xing recovered, it would be the one being eliminated.

    After the previous battle, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s fear of Star Sand, one of the 72 Legends, had reached its peak. It knew it could no longer progress further, but Moon Rabbit Lian Xing was just a High-Tier Beast Tamer. Perhaps after a year or two of training, she could easily crush it.

    So, this was the best chance to eliminate her.

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Suddenly, a deafening roar.

    Just as the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain was confronting the two Royal-Tier pet beasts alone, an invisible, silver wind descended, followed by a sharp wing blade that slashed at her back.

    This was—

    Silver Dragon’s Silver Wing Dimension!!!

    Although this surprise attack was blocked by the ice crystals hastily summoned by the Extreme Cold Detonation, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain still stumbled and fell.

    Useless…

    The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King, seeing this pathetic display, scowled.

    Forming a contract with a trash Beast Tamer had weakened it.

    It couldn’t unleash its full power and even had to protect its Beast Tamer from being attacked.

    In this weakened state, it couldn’t possibly defeat Moon Rabbit Lian Xing after she recovered!!!

    It had to reach her as soon as possible.

    However, before the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain could even get up, a bolt of green lightning struck from the sky.

    “Boom!!!!!”

    The earth-shattering lightning bolt was blocked by a thick layer of ice. Under the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain’s terrified gaze, a green elemental figure, its body crackling with electricity, hovered above her.

    A few seconds later, a green-haired girl in a luxurious gown, her expression cold, stepped onto the battlefield.

    Lei Ji, the sixth-ranked Ten Greats, and her Lightning Princess!!!

    “Lei Ji…”

    “Why are you…against me…!!”

    “Do we have a grudge!?” the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain asked, her face contorted in anger.

    “…”
    “…”
    “This disgusting face, it’s truly unbearable. You ugly and delusional trash. You, who stole this power through sheer luck, a disgrace to Baiyue Province…you dare to try to eliminate a true Legend?” Lei Ji cursed, her words instantly pleasing the livestream viewers, who were outraged by what had happened to Moon Rabbit.

    She had never spoken to Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, but she wouldn’t tolerate this scum harming her.

    At the same time, not only Silver Dragon and Lei Ji, but even Tian Quan’s Bing Zhuyu floated nearby, ready to attack.

    Tian Quan could finally… justifiably steal some experience…

    However, as the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain scowled, another girl, with purple, bobbed hair, stepped onto the battlefield.

    “Well said, Lei Ji~~~”

    “When Moon Rabbit’s legend is recorded in the history of Baiyue Province, what role will we play? The hero’s companions?”

    “Do you really want to be remembered as a clown…?”

    “Haha, Mommy, I’m on TV!!!”

    The fifth-ranked Ten Greats, Xinghong of Lingkong Academy…

    Behind the slightly insane purple-haired girl, a giant, purple-scaled crow perched, its eyes fixed on the ice-covered girl.

    At this moment, not only the two Royal-Tier pet beasts, the guardian and the host, had personally intervened, but even almost half of the Ten Greats, the Commander-Tier star players, had decided to stop the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain.

    The Baiyue Province Academy League was in complete chaos!!!

    However, facing these stars…whom she wouldn’t have even dared to dream of confronting before, the Ice Palace Academy vice-captain felt a surge of pride.

    She felt like a superstar, the center of attention.

    So this was it.

    The stage she had always dreamed of…

    But she was now a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, on a completely different level compared to these ignorant insects…!!!

    Looking at them with pity, she shook her head and sighed, “You’ve made a grave mistake…”

    “Buzz——!!!!!”

    The Red Quality combat skill, Winter’s Embrace, activated again.

    The icy tree’s terrifying aura spread throughout the league city, like a natural disaster.

    Meanwhile, as the battle raged in the league venue…

    The golden-haired girl, her stockings and clothes torn to shreds, lay unconscious under a large tree in the forest, over ten kilometers away. A drop of drool trickled from the corner of her delicate lips.

    The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, a giant hole in its abdomen, lay beside her, barely clinging to life, its vision blurry. The hole in its abdomen was from its own Raging Wind…

    At that moment, if it hadn’t escaped, it wouldn’t have been able to guarantee Lian Xing’s safety.

    No matter what, this battle was no longer their concern.

    Whether that Royal-Tier pet beast was defeated or Baiyue Province was destroyed…it was up to fate now.

    Thinking of this, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s body began to fade.

    Its master was unconscious, and it had reached its limit. Its physical body would soon dissipate, returning to Lian Xing. It was only holding on because it was worried about Lian Xing’s safety, trying to stay for as long as possible, in case of any unexpected events.

    However…

    A few seconds later, a small, white figure appeared in its blurry vision.

    Under the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s confused gaze, a Juvenile Species Moonlight Rabbit hopped towards them.

    What was that?

    A wild Moonlight Rabbit…?

    The little creature, seemingly attracted by the commotion caused by the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s fall, hopped around curiously, sniffing the unconscious golden-haired girl, then jumping onto the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s chest.

    Normally, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer would have shooed it away, but in its current state, it couldn’t even raise its paw, so it simply ignored the little rabbit.

    It was just a Juvenile Species…

    It couldn’t possibly harm Lian Xing, right?

    “…”
    “…”
    “Blegh!”

    In the next second, under the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s bewildered gaze, the Juvenile Moonlight Rabbit suddenly started retching, its body convulsing as if it were pregnant. A stream of white vomit emerged, and a small, black pill rolled out from its mouth, landing on the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s weak ear.

    What was this!?

    It looked a bit like the pills that Lian Xing often secretly ate…?

    Curious, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer used its remaining strength to grasp the black pill in its paw.

    “Boom!!!!”

    Its fur stood on end, its body trembling as if struck by lightning. Its eyes widened in disbelief as it looked at the pill in its paw.

    This…

    This, this, this—

    This wasn’t a pill!!!

    It was…

    At this moment, two lines of black text appeared before the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s eyes.

    [Let’s play a game.]

    [Let’s see how far you can throw me!!]

     

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 85p1

    Chapter 85: Lian Xing’s Ancient Species!!! p1

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    The moment the Red Prison Palace activated, the entire league venue was enveloped in an illusory red light. The sky for ten kilometers around turned crimson, as if a scorching sun had descended.

    At this moment, friend or foe, weak 11 or 12-year-old, newborns with no Beast Taming abilities, or powerful Royal-Tier beings like the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King…

    All were treated equally.

    Sensing the terrifying power of this Red Quality combat skill, even the three Royal-Tier pet beasts present were stunned, let alone the other Commander-Tier pet beasts. The livestream cameras captured the shocked expressions of the renowned Ten Greats, frozen in place, not even daring to breathe.

    Meanwhile, the Sea-Dried Bright Moon, hiding inside Tian Quan’s body, was also dumbfounded. Among all its masters, only one had ever possessed a Red Quality combat skill, but they had died in battle against a Monarch-Tier pet beast.

    This Moon Rabbit…

    Who was she!?

    “…”
    “…”
    “Boom——!!”

    Suddenly, a wave of red light pulsed outwards.

    The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s pupils constricted sharply, as if sensing something unthinkable. Within its field of vision, all the surrounding terrain and structures, including the venue and the battle devices, vanished in an instant. It was like reality itself had been erased.

    There was no sound, no explosion, just nothingness. Except for the stunned spectators, most of the city’s environment and structures had simply disappeared.

    After a brief spatial distortion, the Extreme Cold Detonation’s already damaged body contorted further, its beautiful ice-blue color fading.

    “Ugh!!!!”

    In the next second, the Extreme Cold Detonation vomited a mouthful of blue blood, half of its elemental energy dissipating.

    As the only one affected, sensing this incomprehensible power, its eyes widened in horror.

    “Impossible…”

    “How could I…die here…!!!”

    “I won’t…die…at the hands of an…insect…that hasn’t even reached Commander-Tier!!!”

    After struggling for a moment, captured by the livestream camera, the Extreme Cold Detonation turned and fled in a panic.

    It could sense death approaching.

    Because within this red, illusory palace, the invisible slashes didn’t just target a single life form, but every single molecule of its elemental body!!!

    The damage from this single attack was already comparable to the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s relentless barrage with the Red Prison Palace Master’s crimson bombardment for an entire minute!!!

    This was the true power of the Red Quality combat skill, Red Prison Palace…

    At this moment, although they hadn’t been affected, the little fox and Shuitianliang, the two Royal-Tier pet beasts, were still terrified, their fur standing on end, seeing the Extreme Cold Detonation’s miserable state. Even Bing Zhuyu and Tian Quan trembled uncontrollably.

    Undoubtedly, in their previous battle against Moon Rabbit, even without Star Sand, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand this attack.

    Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…

    She hadn’t even used her full power before!

    “Whoosh——!!!!!”

    Under everyone’s gaze, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King hadn’t even gotten far before it was yanked back by an illusory golden chain. It turned its head, its expression contorted in anger, and saw a beautiful, golden elemental figure, enveloped in starlight, floating in the sky, a star-shaped chain extending from its body, tethering it like a dog.

    It couldn’t break free from Star Sand’s control!!!

    Meanwhile, Lian Xing, sitting on the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s shoulder, smiled playfully.

    “Struggle a bit more. It’s no fun if it ends too quickly~~~”

    “You’re a Royal-Tier pet beast, after all”

    “—”

    “Aaaaaaaaaaah, Moon Rabbit!!!!!”

    “I won’t let you get away with this!!!!!”

    “Boom!!!!”

    As the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s desperate scream echoed, after ten seconds, the all-encompassing particle slashes activated again, obliterating every molecule of its body, leaving only its life crystal exposed. Within half a second, it desperately gathered its remaining strength, reforming its ice elemental body.

    It checked its combat skill panel again. Still greyed out, unusable. A wave of despair washed over the Extreme Cold Detonation.

    At this moment, filled with unbearable resentment, it looked at the golden-haired girl and her pet beasts.

    First, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, which had learned a bloodline combat skill at the High-Tier stage…

    The mutated evolution, the Golden Wheel weapon with a Red Quality combat skill…

    And finally, Star Sand, one of the 72 Legends, the culprit behind its inability to use its combat skills, the one that had chained it down.

    They were all just High-Tier pet beasts, insects it could have easily crushed with a single thought before.

    How had things become like this…?

    Moon Rabbit, Lian Xing…

    “Bang!!!!”

    Facing the fourth Red Prison Palace activation, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s body exploded. A giant crack appeared on its life crystal, its surface scarred, as if it could crumble into dust at any moment.

    “Aaaaaaaaaaah, I don’t want to die here! This isn’t fair! I haven’t even used my Royal-Tier abilities!!!”

    “We have no grudge! Why are you attacking me!!”

    “Beast Tamer Association! Someone do something! Help me! Anyone! Form a contract with me!!! “

    “Wait, Master Moon Rabbit, I was wrong! Spare me! I’ll be your dog!!!” After the third slash, the Extreme Cold Detonation finally despaired.

    It knew it had no chance of winning.

    Under everyone’s gaze, its life crystal, like a crawling insect, slowly moved across the ground, trying to escape from the golden-haired girl, but its speed was so slow that even with several hours, it couldn’t escape the Red Prison Palace’s range.

    At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.

    The golden six-tailed fox trembled, Baoyu Shuitianliang’s face pale.

    If even they, Royal-Tier pet beasts, were so terrified…

    What about the other spectators and participants who were witnessing this scene?

    Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…

    Was she even human?

    A Royal-Tier pet beast, forced to beg for mercy, its dignity shattered, crawling on the ground like a dog…

    This scene, this moment of despair…the entire Baiyue Province was in shock.

    Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl put her hands on her hips, her expression cold as she scanned the surrounding area, her voice filled with authority, “All Beast Tamers specializing in Water and Ice, especially those mermaid newborns from Phantom Sea Academy, take one step closer, and you die!!!”

    “No one is allowed near her contract range!!!”

    “…”
    “…”

    Under Lian Xing’s threatening gaze, Baoyu Shuitianliang quickly retreated several steps, raising her hands in surrender.

    Honestly, Lian Xing was most wary of Shuitianliang, the host, constantly watching her, afraid that she would form a contract with this mutated Extreme Cold Detonation and then backstab her.

    It seemed this hybrid wasn’t completely brainless. She wasn’t one of those mermaids who couldn’t resist submitting to a Royal-Tier pet beast.

    At this moment, as the fourth slash was about to land, Lian Xing wouldn’t give the dying Extreme Cold Detonation any chance to survive.

    Three seconds left, the Extreme Cold Detonation, consumed by the fear of death, screamed desperately, “Aaaaaah, someone form a contract with me! Even if you’re not an Ice specialist, anyone will do! Please save me!!”

    “Can you really bear to watch me, such a powerful Royal-Tier pet beast, die here like this?”

    “You…villagers…from a 10th-level region…don’t you want to become Royal-Tier Beast Tamers and see the world outside!?”

    “You useless trash…are you content to live in the shadow of the strong forever!?”

    “This is your only chance to rise above…!!!”

    “Bang——!!!”

    The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s desperate plea was cut short.

    As the Red Prison Palace’s fourth slash landed, its life crystal shattered into countless shimmering fragments, scattered by the wind.

    A Royal-Tier pet beast defeated…

    At this moment, the entire league venue, even every corner of Baiyue Province watching the livestream, fell silent.

    Only the golden-haired girl’s flowing skirt and her joyful starry eyes remained, etched into the memories of all the viewers.

    A High-Tier Beast Tamer, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, had defeated a Royal-Tier pet beast, two tiers above her!!!

    “…”
    “…”
    “Hmm?”

    However, in the next second, before Lian Xing could even relax, her expression turned to shock, her breath catching in her throat. Her starry eyes blinked rapidly as she stared at the spot where the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King had fallen.

    There was no doubt.

    It was dead…

    And her team’s levels had all increased significantly.

    But why…

    Had the Royal-Tier crystal not dropped!?

    At that moment, Lian Xing realized something, her teeth gritting as she glared at the nearby battle rooms.

    “Who!!!”

    “Who dared to contract that thing!!!”

    “…”
    “…”

    The prize had escaped…

    Lian Xing was furious.

    She had been wary of the nearby spectators, but she had forgotten about the battle rooms, which were even closer!!

    Although she had never killed a human before.

    She wouldn’t let this thief get away with this.

    However, before Lian Xing could find the culprit, a terrifying wave of ice erupted from the Ice Palace Academy battle room.

    “Boom!!!!!”

    In the next second, without warning, a bone-chilling, crimson light engulfed the entire venue. A giant, icy tree suddenly emerged from the ruins of the battle rooms, its countless branches spreading out like a canopy of sharp, crystalline leaves.

    At this moment, the little fox and Shuitianliang’s eyes widened in horror, but it was too late to intervene.

    This was…

    A Red Quality combat skill!!!

    [—Winter’s Embrace—]

    Facing this sudden attack, Star Sand couldn’t activate its Star Order talent to silence the combat skill. Because it couldn’t even locate the target, not even knowing which Beast Tamer had activated the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s attack.

    Moreover, it wasn’t a targeted combat skill.

    Star Sand was powerless. And by the time the Red Quality combat skill fully formed, it was too late for Lian Xing to react.

    She hadn’t expected that this thief would actually attack her.

    “Bang——!!!!!”

    In the next second, within a kilometer radius of the icy tree, everything was pierced by countless ice spikes, the air filled with a blizzard of sharp crystals. Just as Lian Xing was about to be impaled, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, its eyes wide with terror, desperately swung all nine of its ears towards its own body.

    “Raging Wind!!!!”

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

    With a deafening roar, nine concentrated blasts of wind pierced through the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s own body. Facing the unavoidable attack, it had blown itself away, its frail body like a cannonball, crashing through the city.

    Within seconds, the blood-soaked Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, carrying the golden-haired girl, had carved a deep scar through the city’s buildings, finally collapsing in a forest over ten kilometers away.

    Then, it fell limply to the ground.

    Lian Xing, a mere human, naturally lost consciousness from the impact.

    But at least they had escaped the range of that Red Quality combat skill…

    Meanwhile, Star Sand, witnessing this scene from the league venue, powerless to intervene, was furious. Its hands clenched, its entire body radiating light, a wave of star-shaped energy spreading outwards, enveloping the entire venue.

    “If I can’t find the culprit…”

    “Then I’ll just…destroy everything…!!!”

    “Nether Staircase…” Star Sand’s angry words were cut short, its body dimming, the starlight flickering, forced into its pre-return, ethereal state.

    What the…?

    Lian Xing had fainted!!!

    Due to the distance and its master’s unconsciousness, Star Sand’s combat skill was forcibly canceled. A few seconds later, with a look of unwillingness, its consciousness faded, its star-filled body dissipating, returning to Lian Xing.

    “…”
    “…”

    A cold breeze blew, and a deathly silence fell over the venue…

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 84

    Chapter 84: Red Combat Skill Unleashed Again, Crushing a Royal-Tier!!

    “BOOM!!!!”

    A deafening explosion ripped through the Baiyue Province Academy League venue, a blinding flash of red light cleaving the two battle rooms in half, severing everything within. As debris and dust filled the air, the golden fox, sitting in the president’s office, clutched her head and screamed, her eyes wide with disbelief, unable to comprehend whether this was a dream or reality.

    Attacking the participants in their physical bodies, while they were defenseless.

    What was Moon Rabbit Lian Xing thinking!!!

    Could it be that she was actually a member of a terrorist organization?

    This act was unprecedented in the history of Baiyue Province!!!

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    After slicing through the battle rooms, the red Golden Wheels continued their trajectory, accelerating with a thunderous roar, heading towards the spectator section. Facing this terrifying speed, the ordinary viewers had no time to react. Tens of thousands of people were engulfed by the red light before they could even summon their pet beasts.

    “Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Under the horrified gazes of countless viewers, the two crimson Golden Wheels began their massacre, the spectator seats exploding in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the entire seating area was obliterated.

    At this moment, facing this sudden chaos, the expressions of the participants from all the academies froze. The official livestream chat fell silent, no comments appearing for a long time.

    Even Baoyu Shuitianliang, a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, who was relatively close, couldn’t react in time.

    “Clack—!!!”

    A few seconds later, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer caught the returning Red Prison Palace Master, its body emitting white steam, a scorching breath escaping its mouth. The league venue before it completely destroyed by the Red Prison Palace Master, no spectator could have possibly survived.

    Looking at the golden-haired girl’s joyful and satisfied…starry eyes, the livestream viewers felt a wave of despair.

    “Moon Rabbit, what are you doing? Why are you killing the audience!!!”

    “Wuwuwu, my mom was there! My mom was killed!!!”

    “What is Shuitianliang doing? Just standing there watching? Aren’t you a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer???”

    “Someone stop Lian Xing!!!”

    “…”
    “…”

    As the terrified viewers watched, the dust settled, revealing a devastated league venue. Almost all the buildings and equipment were gone, the terrain flattened. But strangely…

    The nearly one million Beast Tamers, protected by their pet beasts, were unharmed, their expressions bewildered as they looked at the golden-haired girl in the center of the venue.

    Huh?

    How…?

    She had destroyed the entire venue with that crimson Golden Wheel.

    How could there be no casualties!?

    At this moment, under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl, sitting on the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s arm, smiled triumphantly.

    The experiment was a success.

    The Red Prison Palace Master, from the moment it mutated, had to destroy everything in its path to fulfill its evolution requirements.

    But, its outer ring characteristic could distinguish between friend and foe!!!

    So, as long as it attacked everyone and then designated them as allies, it wouldn’t violate the Fallen Species rule.

    At this moment, as everyone was still confused, Baoyu Shuitianliang and the golden fox exchanged glances, looking towards the spectator section. Among the nine participants who had been sliced by the Red Prison Palace Master, only one, an ice elemental figure, had a slightly dimmed aura.

    Wait, this was…

    A member of the Cycle of Calamity!!!

    “Boom!!!!!”

    Before they could react, the two Red Prison Palace Master rings shot out again, intersecting as they pierced through the ice elemental figure. The two Golden Wheels, crackling with lightning, dragged the Royal-Tier ice elemental out of the participant section.

    Like two falling meteors, the Red Prison Palace Master rings, trailing flames and lightning, returned to their starting point, dragging their captive with them. Meanwhile, seeing the returning Golden Wheels and the ice elemental figure, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer swung all nine of its throwing appendages.

    [Raging Wind X9]

    [Combo X10 X9]

    [Sand Toss (Gold)]

    [Flurry, Power Throw, Wave Breaker]

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    A large, fan-shaped area was obliterated, half of the league venue blown away. This time, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer didn’t care about the innocent spectators.

    There were two Royal-Tier pet beasts present. They couldn’t just stand there and watch, right?

    Meanwhile, inside the virtual battle space, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King, fighting against Silver Dragon, sensed something was wrong.

    What was going on? Its physical body was being attacked!?

    Impossible…?

    Its mind raced, and it immediately tried to open the settings menu.

    “Whoosh—”

    However, before its finger could reach the exit button, a silver wing erupted from the void, severing its elementalized arm. After a few seconds of stunned silence, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s expression contorted in rage. It glared at the silver-haired girl, surrounded by silver wings and an invisible wind.

    “I see…”

    “You colluded with her, didn’t you?”

    “So the Beast Tamers of Baiyue Province aren’t all idiots…”

    “Boom!!!!!”

    As the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s furious words echoed, a powerful wind enveloped its body. The heavy, viscous wind pressure pinned it down, making it difficult to even move its hand, its attempts to struggle futile.

    Seeing its enraged opponent, Silver Dragon smiled, twirling a strand of silver hair.

    “I suggest you to give up on logging out. Defeat me first…”

    “Before I lose, you won’t be able to move a finger~~~”

    “…”
    “…”
    “Annoying brat, die!!!!!”

    Meanwhile, in the real-life Baiyue Province league venue.

    Under the horrified gazes of billions of livestream viewers, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer was brutally beating the motionless ice elemental figure. After ten seconds of testing, Lian Xing had realized the problem.

    Neither Six Ears nor Raging Wind could actually harm the highly elementalized Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King.

    So, she had to rely on the Red Prison Palace Master’s crimson bombardment.

    The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer held the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s head with one of its paw-shaped ears, then repeatedly swung the two Red Prison Palace Master rings on its other ears, tearing through the opponent’s elemental body.

    “Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

    Flashes of red light, like knife strikes.

    With the three-stage acceleration of Thunderclap, even without actually throwing them, the Red Prison Palace Master rings achieved terrifying power with just their swings. As the crimson explosions ripped through the air, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s aura dimmed, cracks appearing on its elemental body, which was desperately protecting its life crystal.

    The audience watched in shock and horror, speechless.

    Meanwhile, at the edge of the league venue, a giant, golden six-tailed fox gently set down the hundreds of thousands of innocent spectators it had rescued, then turned to look at the scene of the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer beating up a Royal-Tier pet beast, its giant eyes twitching.

    So Lian Xing had already discovered the Royal-Tier pet beast’s hiding place…

    No wonder she had asked for that specific match schedule…

    But, couldn’t she have waited until the league ended?

    This was during the league!!!

    She had almost fainted from fear!!!

    But to come up with such a devious and evil plan.

    What kind of dark heart was hidden beneath that perfect exterior…?

    “Your attacks are too one-dimensional…”

    “Let me help!!!” Thirty seconds after the incident began, Baoyu Shuitianliang finally reacted, taking a few steps forward and asking tentatively.

    Well, expecting a brainless hybrid to think was asking too much. It had taken her this long to realize what was happening.

    However, after taking a few steps, she was met with a glare from the golden-haired girl a few hundred meters away and quickly retreated.

    Fine, fine, she wouldn’t steal the experience. Did she have to be so aggressive about it?

    After glaring at Shuitianliang, Lian Xing turned to the stunned, giant golden fox and said, “Are you stupid? What are you waiting for? Evacuate the audience!!!”

    “Especially those Water-type hybrids! Get them as far away from here as possible!!!”

    “Oh…okay…” Hearing Lian Xing’s command, the golden six-tailed fox nodded dumbly, then began ordering the evacuation of the audience.

    Meanwhile, as Lian Xing was beating up the Royal-Tier pet beast, not only the spectators but even the Ten Greats in the participant section were dumbfounded.

    What kind of performance was this?

    They couldn’t even understand what was happening anymore.

    Moon Rabbit Lian Xing had suddenly attacked a participant, and the president of the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association and the host, Baoyu Shuitianliang, instead of stopping her, were actually joining in to gang up on this imposter posing as the Ice Palace Academy captain, what the hell!?

    “I see…so that’s the missing member of the Cycle of Calamity.”

    “Let’s go, too!!”

    “Defeating a Royal-Tier pet beast…the benefits are unimaginable…”

    “She’s trapped in the virtual battle now. This is our chance to steal the kill…!!” In the Phantom Sea Academy section, following the Sea-Dried Bright Moon’s explanation, Tian Quan, who had been confused for a while, finally understood.

    The opportunity to defeat a defenseless Royal-Tier pet beast was the dream of every Beast Tamer stuck at the peak of Commander-Tier!!!

    Even Shuitianliang, who already had a Royal-Tier pet beast, couldn’t resist the temptation. After all, her other pet beasts hadn’t evolved yet…

    So, even if Lian Xing wanted to monopolize this opportunity, she would have to ask for their permission.

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    However, to everyone’s surprise, the moment Bing Zhuyu flew out of the spectator box, it was blocked by a giant golden fox tail, as thick as a wall.

    Under Tian Quan and Bing Zhuyu’s confused gazes, the golden six-tailed fox, the president of the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association, shook its head.

    Since Moon Rabbit had lured this Royal-Tier pet beast here as agreed…

    It had to keep its promise and give Lian Xing this precious opportunity to kill it alone.

    If Lian Xing couldn’t defeat it, then she and Shuitianliang would step in and capture this injured Royal-Tier pet beast.

    “There’s no time…”

    “We have to help her!!!”

    “She’s no match for that Royal-Tier pet beast!!”

    “Once it logs out of the virtual battle, everyone here will be in danger!!!” the Sea-Dried Bright Moon said urgently, trying to convince the golden fox.

    Through the screen in the participant box, they could see the progress of the virtual battle.

    Under the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s furious assault, Silver Dragon was struggling to hold on. However, her goal wasn’t to defeat the opponent but to prevent it from moving its hand.

    Heavenly Windless Clothes and the opponent were both Elemental Species, and with the addition of the Silver Wing Dimension, a Viral Species that could counter elementalization, Silver Dragon’s lineup was the perfect counter to the Extreme Cold Detonation, easily disrupting its form with wind pressure and elemental fields.

    Several times, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s finger almost reached the exit button, but at the last second, it would be blown off course by the wind, accidentally clicking on [Customer Support] instead.

    Facing the new pop-up window, it was furious.

    The exit button was originally in the center of the screen, but this new window was so large that it had to move its finger to the top right corner to close it.

    So, it gave up on trying to log out midway, focusing all its efforts on defeating its current opponent.

    Finally…

    After being trolled by Silver Dragon for 45 seconds, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King finally crushed her opponent. Tears welling up in its eyes, it immediately clicked the exit button.

    It didn’t know who was attacking it.

    Was it the host, or the guardian!?

    Whoever it was, it wouldn’t let them get away with this! The entire Baiyue Province would pay!!!

    “…”
    “…”
    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    In the league venue, a giant wave of ice erupted, freezing the ground for dozens of kilometers. At this moment, an aura far colder than Bing Zhuyu’s spread outwards.

    The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer and the Red Prison Palace Master were both blown back several meters.

    But Lian Xing, the culprit, remained calm, simply smiling as she looked at the figure emerging from the ice mist.

    After returning to reality, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King felt sore all over, as if it had been violated for three days and three nights, on the verge of a mental breakdown. It checked its battered elemental body, then glared at the golden-haired girl with buns, its expression furious.

    At that moment, remembering the lustful look in the golden-haired girl’s eyes before leaving the battle room, it felt a chill run down its spine.

    “It was you…”

    “What’s your purpose!?”

    “Why did you attack me!!!”

    “…”
    “…”
    “See? It’s too late!!”

    “She’s about to be killed.”

    “No matter how strong Moon Rabbit is among Commander-Tier pet beasts, against a Royal-Tier…she’s just an ant” the Sea-Dried Bright Moon, inside Tian Quan’s body, said mockingly to the giant, golden six-tailed fox.

    At this moment, the fox was conflicted. She had thought Lian Xing could shatter the Royal-Tier pet beast’s life crystal before it woke up, but it seemed she had overestimated Lian Xing’s strength. She must have been delusional from the Legendary power, thinking that defeating a Royal-Tier pet beast was like slaughtering a chicken.

    Wait, no!!!

    Where was Star Sand!?

    Star Sand, one of the 72 Legends.

    It hadn’t appeared yet!!!

    “Purpose!?”

    “You, a mutated evolution, asking about purpose? How amusing~~~”

    “Do I need a purpose to kill you?” Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, chuckled, her tone condescending, facing the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s furious question.

    Seeing Lian Xing’s flippant attitude, the Extreme Cold Detonation was enraged. Its face contorted, it unleashed a wave of ice.

    “You!!! Sneaky little thief, since I logged out in time, you won’t even have time to beg for mercy !!”

    “Die!!!”

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Under the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s full power, a wave of ice threatened to freeze the entire Baiyue Province. However, the moment the dark gold light emerged from its hand, before the combat skill could even form, it was enveloped by an invisible force field. Then, the spreading ice shattered like glass, disintegrating into stardust.

    At that moment, in its incredulous eyes, a beautiful, golden elemental figure, enveloped in starlight, slowly rose from behind the golden-haired girl, like a guardian angel.

    One of the 72 Legends, Star Sand!!!

    What the…?

    It was a Royal-Tier pet beast!!!

    How could this thing seal its combat skills without any reason!!!

    An Elemental Species without combat skills was like a Weapon Species without a wielder. How could it possibly fight!?

    “And then?”

    “What’s the point of logging out?”

    “Whoosh——!!!”

    At this moment, under the stunned gazes of the entire league venue, as Moon Rabbit Lian Xing chuckled disdainfully, the Red Prison Palace Master, held in the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s ears, suddenly vanished. Then, its outer ring expanded, transforming into a terrifying red circle that spread outwards, enveloping the entire venue like a giant sun.

    Under everyone’s gaze, the crimson sun, like a massive, illusory palace, shimmered and pulsed with energy.

    Red Prison Palace, activated!!!

    Even though they knew Moon Rabbit wouldn’t harm innocent people, many of the spectators within the giant sun’s range were still terrified by the aura of this combat skill.

    Meanwhile, witnessing the color of this combat skill, the three Royal-Tier pet beasts, including the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King, the little fox, and Shuitianliang, were all dumbfounded.

    A High-Tier pet beast with a Red Quality combat skill.

    Seriously!?

    No matter what…

    At this moment, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing was facing a Royal-Tier pet beast head-on!!!

  • I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 83p2

    Chapter 83: Legend descends, the power of Star Sand!! p2

    Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing, captured by the livestream camera, began adjusting her stockings again. As usual, she made her teammates go ahead, staying behind to fumble…

    After about five minutes, the Wind God Academy team finally arrived.

    At this moment, led by Silver Dragon, wearing a white mask, the five Wind God Academy star players encountered Lian Xing.

    However…

    Under everyone’s curious gazes, as Lian Xing and Silver Dragon passed each other, they high-fived.

    “I’ll give it my all…” Silver Dragon whispered to Lian Xing before entering the battle room with her four teammates, their expressions filled with awe and admiration.

    This confused the Baiyue Province viewers.

    What the hell?

    Did Silver Dragon and Moon Rabbit know each other?

    They seemed close…

    “Those traitors!!” Aurora of White Maple Academy cursed inwardly, seeing this scene.

    She had been crushed by Silver Dragon and Moon Rabbit duo queuing together a month ago and had suspected their relationship.

    It seemed they had already made a deal back then.

    But, these two were no longer people she could afford to offend…

    Meanwhile, after Wind God Academy entered the battle room, the Ice Palace Academy team also arrived. Wearing the Ice Palace Academy captain’s uniform, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King glanced at Lian Xing with a cold expression as they passed each other.

    It knew its own limitations and wouldn’t even consider claiming Star Sand.

    Even if Star Sand willingly offered itself, it wouldn’t dare to accept.

    So, it was currently weighing its options, deciding which high-level organization to sell the information about Star Sand to, in exchange for sufficient benefits.

    These insects, their online discussions couldn’t even reach other regions, let alone the true higher-ups.

    But it was different…

    As a former member of the Cycle of Calamity, a powerful Royal-Tier pet beast, it still had connections to other organizations. Even if some mysterious being was concealing Star Sand’s aura, it didn’t believe they could block those omnipotent rulers from the 23rd-level region.

    However…

    At that moment, as it stared at the golden-haired girl, for some reason, the other girl was also looking at it with a smile. Those twinkling starry eyes, there was a hint of lust and greed within them.

    This confused the Extreme Cold Detonation.

    It blinked in disbelief, but when it looked at Lian Xing again, the other girl had already turned and left, as if that strange look had just been an illusion.

    A mere human Beast Tamer, who had obtained the favor of a Legend through sheer luck, how could she possibly look at it with such eyes…?

    It must have been seeing things due to its nervousness.

    The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King shook its head, dismissing the thought, and continued walking towards the battle room with the four Ice Palace Academy members.

    A moment later, as the battle was about to begin, Lian Xing still lingered near the entrance, refusing to leave. Several staff members tried to persuade her, but she ignored them. Due to the shock of Star Sand’s appearance, no one dared to push further.

    Even the little fox, seeing this, didn’t think much of it, tacitly allowing Lian Xing’s rule-breaking behavior.

    She was probably just wanting to watch her lover fight up close, right…?

    She wouldn’t be so foolish as to send a message reminding her. She would definitely be scolded.

    Soon, the second match of the top 16 round began.

    [Wind God Academy]

    [VS]

    [Ice Palace Academy]

    [Mode: Team Melee (Unlimited)]

    [Map randomized: Moon Bridge]

    Moon Bridge, a medium-sized map with few obstacles, perfect for a clash between the Elemental Species pet beasts of Wind God Academy and Ice Palace Academy.

    However, after witnessing Star Sand’s devastating power, many viewers couldn’t focus on this battle. After all, no matter how absurd it was, it couldn’t possibly be more unbelievable than a 72 Legends, right!?

    And the Ice Palace Academy captain’s main battle pet beast…it couldn’t possibly compare to Bing Zhuyu’s awakened form!!

    “Boom!!!!”

    The moment the battle began, whether to counter the audience’s fanaticism towards Moon Rabbit Lian Xing or to intimidate the ignorant insects of Baiyue Province, a wave of ice mist erupted from the Ice Palace Academy captain, covering half the map.

    Just as the Wind God Academy members were about to be engulfed by the blizzard, an invisible wind erupted from behind Silver Dragon, shattering the ice mist. Then, the wind, like a flowing robe, enveloped the silver-haired girl, shielding her from the chilling cold.

    Commander-Tier, Elemental Species, Heavenly Windless Clothes!!

    Seeing this, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King frowned slightly.

    Undoubtedly, the girl standing before it was on a completely different level compared to Chilinhou, who had been instantly killed!!!

    Without revealing its true form, this battle might be troublesome…

    However, as the battle reached a stalemate…

    Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl in stockings, standing in the hallway, smiled.

    Actually, if she hadn’t witnessed Silver Dragon’s Heavenly Windless Clothes, she would have asked the little fox to arrange a match between Ice Palace Academy and Phantom Sea Academy.

    But now…

    Since she could collude with Silver Dragon, the Heavenly Windless Clothes was the perfect counter~~~

    Lian Xing wouldn’t hesitate to spoil her darling. She had not only provided Silver Dragon with the Heavenly Windless Clothes’ future evolution information, but she had even sacrificed one-twentieth of her dignity, forming a couple relationship with Silver Dragon online.

    All this, was to ensure that Silver Dragon would willingly give up on this league, unleashing her full power in this match, temporarily suppressing this attention-seeking Royal-Tier pet beast.

    Preventing it from even logging out.

    Finally, Lian Xing could carry out her evil plan.

    Under everyone’s gaze, a few noticing her strange actions, Lian Xing, who had been lingering near the entrance, started walking towards the battle rooms. At this moment, most people were focused on the battle between Wind God Academy and Ice Palace Academy, not noticing the golden-haired girl’s unusual behavior.

    A few minutes later, Lian Xing reached the battle rooms, unhindered.

    By the time the staff noticed, it was too late.

    In the president’s office, the golden fox also stared in shock.

    What was going on?

    What was Lian Xing thinking!?

    Even as a newly risen superstar, possessing one of the 72 Legends, and even being their accomplice, being so close to the battle rooms was a serious violation!!

    At this moment, many viewers also saw the golden-haired girl outside the battle rooms, their expressions filled with disbelief.

    What was going on? Had Lian Xing forgotten something?

    Why was she back?

    Surprised as they were, no one truly believed that Moon Rabbit would do anything to the helpless participants inside. After all, a player of Lian Xing’s level definitely had privileges. Even if she did something like this, the Beast Tamer Association would just give her a verbal warning.

    There wouldn’t be any actual punishment.

    However—

    As everyone assumed it was nothing serious.

    At that moment…

    Something unthinkable happened.

    Under the horrified gazes of the golden fox and Baoyu Shuitianliang, Lian Xing’s actions could only be described with a few lines of poetry:

    The setting sun’s gentle embrace, the rising dawn’s first light.

    Dancing and caressing the ancient trees, a plum blossom blooming in the pavilion.

    Crimson mist descends, like a silken curtain.

    “Boom!!!!!”

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Two deafening explosions echoed, and a giant cloud of steam engulfed the entire area. A few seconds later, a white, lop-eared rabbit, its ears adorned with two giant, crimson Star Ring Golden Wheels, emerged from the smoke, its aura overwhelming.

    The Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer!!

    The Red Prison Palace Master!!!

    “Whoosh——!!!!!”

    After a brief silence, the entire venue erupted in chaos.

    At this moment, no one realized what Moon Rabbit Lian Xing was about to do.

    But, not only was she so close to the battle rooms, but she had even summoned her pet beasts in reality.

    Was she trying to rebel!?

    Seeing Lian Xing’s actions, the golden fox’s face turned pale.

    And Baoyu Shuitianliang, who was closest, hadn’t even considered this possibility. She was so shocked by this unprecedented scene that she didn’t react in time.

    “Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Screams filled the venue.

    While the ten members of Wind God Academy and Ice Palace Academy were still immersed in their virtual battle…

    The battle rooms, where their physical bodies were located, were instantly sliced in half by a crimson light, all the devices destroyed!!!

    Then, both battle rooms were blown away by a hurricane.

    Seeing this unbelievable scene, all the participants and viewers were stunned, their minds blank.

    The Baiyue Province Academy League had just ended.

    Only the golden-haired girl’s joyful and lewd starry eyes remained, twinkling on the screen.
