T/N: “卧槽你妈” (Wò cào nǐ mā), a very strong and offensive insult in Chinese, similar to “fuck your mother” in English. “我测你的码”(I’ll Measure Your Code!) sounds similar, but replaces the offensive characters with more innocuous ones.(like a slang)
Chapter 112: Ancient Juvenile Species!!p1
Baiyue Province, in an uproar!!!
Phantom Sea Academy, White Maple Academy, Xiyu Academy, Starlight Academy…all the Ten Greats academies were in shock.
Even Youlan Academy, whose Dean was currently in the ICU(intensive care unit), its students were buzzing with excitement.
Just two months ago, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing had been competing alongside them.
But now…
She had gone to participate in a Monarch trial and had somehow jumped to a 2nd-level region to compete in the league!?
Although Moon Rabbit’s strength was unmatched among Baiyue Province Beast Tamers…
But in a 2nd-level region, a place beyond their comprehension, a place they knew nothing about…
Could Lian Xing even compete…?
Could she even perform against Beast Tamers from such a high-level region, whose strength and abilities were unknown?
At this moment, facing the open door to a new world, some were excited and eager, while others were worried and apprehensive.
Having suddenly gained access to the 2nd-level region’s league and its information channels, this massive shift in perspective… was it truly a good thing…?
But at least Baiyue Province had been promoted to an 8th-level region.
All thanks to Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…
Meanwhile, inside Youlan Academy…
In the ICU, Chi Yan, holding a selfie stick, filmed her mother, the Dean of Youlan Academy, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
“Old hag, if you can’t handle it, just… give up… I’ll inherit Youlan Academy~~~” Chi Yan’s filial words made the livestream viewers laugh.
At this moment, the Dean of Youlan Academy, lying on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed, looked like she might jump up and fight her daughter at any moment.
In the month since the league ended, Chi Yan had become Youlan Academy’s most popular streamer, thanks to Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s fame and her own lack of presence and comical tendency to be instantly defeated in battles.
Her livestream content wasn’t about virtual battles, but about tormenting her mother, the Dean of Youlan Academy.
So, the mother and daughter duo, every day, in front of millions of viewers, would fight each other, their antics incredibly entertaining and stupid…
But despite its bizarre style, Chi Yan’s follower count had already reached almost 5 million.
She was also one of the first to receive livestreaming access to the 2nd-level region’s Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.
After leaving the ICU, Chi Yan went to pick up the package from the Beast Tamer Association. Opening the small box and looking at the access chip inside, she muttered, “Captain Lian Xing, just how strong have you become…?”
“I guess we’ll soon find out…in the livestream…?”
6th-level region, Bimen Pass.
At this moment, inside a training area provided by the Great Lord Biluo…
Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, was examining her pet beast lineup.
[Commander-Tier — Biological Species — Heaven-Gracing Curtain LV190]
[Talent: Flexibility Enhancement, Heavenly Ruler]
[Arcane Art: Flurry, Combo, Power Throw, Moon’s Grace]
[Combat Skill: Lunar Crash (Purple), Sand Toss (Gold), Raging Wind (Dark Gold)]
[Bloodline: Six Ears, Eclipse]
…
[High-Tier — Elemental Species — Star Sand LV13]
[Talent: Star Order, Formless]
[Combat Skill: Nether Staircase (Gold), Death Sentence (Red)]
…
[High-Tier — Weapon Species — Red Prison Palace Master LV60]
[Talent: Limit Heavy Metal]
[Arcane Art: Red Amber, Thunderclap, Crimson Bombardment, Dimensional Penetration, Azure Edge, Penetration, Desperate Gamble, Heavenly Graffiti]
[Combat Skill: Red Prison Palace (Red)]
…
[Mid-Tier — Viral Species — Mist Colt LV30]
[Talent: Mist Walk, Floating Cloud]
[Combat Skill: Refracted Light (Dark Gold), Overclock (Red)]
…
This was Lian Xing’s current pet beast lineup.
But it wasn’t her final form…
Because she hadn’t chosen Star Sand and the Mist Colt’s Arcane Arts yet, and the Red Prison Palace Master hadn’t absorbed that transcendent evolution product’s crystal.
Lian Xing didn’t rush to allocate Star Sand’s points. She knew that a Legend’s Arcane Arts couldn’t be chosen casually. She had also possessed one of the 72 Legends in her previous life.
Choosing its Arcane Arts…it had been almost as dramatic as an Awakening…
And she probably couldn’t use Star Sand in the 2nd-level region’s league for a while. In a place like that…
If its existence was revealed…
Who knew what kind of chaos it would cause.
So, Lian Xing focused on enhancing the Red Prison Palace Master and the Mist Colt.
“Transcendent evolution…”
“Since it doesn’t have any suffixes…it means it can continue fulfilling other evolution requirements. Unlike mutated evolution, which requires simultaneous fulfillment, the steps and timing of transcendent evolution don’t matter, not even the tier.”
“The Amber Palace is very close to a Super Rare Species evolution path, so there are still two or three more evolution requirements it can fulfill.”
“A true Super Rare or a Throne-level…” Lian Xing mused as she fed Qing Zhanwan’s Royal-Tier crystal to the Golden Leaf.
Instantly, the Golden Leaf’s body began to tremble violently.
As its Arcane Arts received a significant boost…
A flood of memories and techniques related to Sheathing poured into its mind.
A moment later, the Golden Leaf’s tense body relaxed, as if it had entered a state of bliss…
[Second Characteristic inherited]
[New Talent — Blade Aura: Significantly increases the range of ranged attacks.]
Seeing this characteristic, Lian Xing frowned.
Ranged attacks?
It didn’t seem very compatible with the Red Prison Palace Master’s characteristics, it might even be useless…
Qing Zhanwan, as a triple transcendent evolution product, should have three characteristics. The one that increased durability and the one that allowed teleportation were both useful, but she had somehow inherited the most useless one.
Well, it didn’t matter. The important thing was that Qing Zhanwan’s Sheathing technique had been absorbed. She could replace the second characteristic later.
The Golden Leaf was currently immersed in comprehension, motionless. As a High-Tier mutated pet beast, absorbing a large amount of Royal-Tier combat techniques at once…it was a bit overwhelming…
Meanwhile, Lian Xing turned her attention to the Mist Colt.
The Mist Colt, having reached level 30, could now evolve to High-Tier.
However, if she wanted to increase its rarity, there were still a few evolution requirements it hadn’t fulfilled…
“Absorbing the crystal now would be a waste of experience, so let’s save the Blood Spirit Orb’s crystal for later, after it reaches High-Tier.”
“Let’s unlock its Arcane Arts first…” Lian Xing had already allocated the Mist Colt’s attribute points, but she hadn’t chosen its Arcane Arts yet. It had only been level 18 back then, and she couldn’t see the later Arcane Arts.
Now that it had reached level 30, she could choose freely.
20 points in Defense, 10 points in Speed, three Arcane Arts.
After about ten minutes, a new and improved Mist Colt was ready.
[First Defense Arcane Art: Shock Absorb (Reduces the power of attacks that don’t significantly damage the core.)]
[Second Defense Arcane Art: Shield (Converts a small portion of health into a large capacity shield. If the pet beast doesn’t take any damage for a certain period, the shield instantly recovers to full capacity.)]
[First Speed Arcane Art: Endurance (Temporarily increases stamina while moving at full speed.)]
After selecting the three Arcane Arts, Lian Xing had a general idea of the Mist Colt’s future evolution path.
However, fulfilling the evolution requirements would be complicated…
After recalling the Golden Leaf and the Mist Colt to her pet beast space, Lian Xing left the Great Lord Biluo’s private training area. At the entrance, a silver-haired girl was waiting for her.
“Little Star, are you leaving?” Silver Dragon asked, her voice filled with reluctance.
“Yes,” Lian Xing nodded.
The 2nd-level region’s Alliance Competition wasn’t a place for just anyone, and bringing companions wasn’t allowed. Only she had received a recommendation.
And in a competition of that level, even someone like Silver Dragon wouldn’t be able to make a splash.
So, both she and Tian Quan had decided to stay in Bimen Pass and train.
“Darling, I’ve already given you the evolution requirements for Heavenly Windless Clothes and Silver Wing Dimension. You have to work hard. I’ll contact you regularly through the virtual battle space~~~” Lian Xing said, gently petting the silver-haired girl’s head.
She was different from those promiscuous girls who had dozens of online lovers…
Her relationship limit… was 20, and she wouldn’t divide her affection into 21 parts.
So, since Silver Dragon was one-twentieth of her heart, she would naturally cherish this relationship…
“Then…who’s Little Fly?” Silver Dragon asked cautiously.
“…”
“…”
“L-Little Fly!?” Lian Xing was stunned, her expression confused.
After a while, she remembered. Little Fly was Thunder Fly, the lightning elemental girl from the white deer space…
No wonder Silver Dragon was so depressed. She must have heard what the Heaven’s Cry Thunderclap Hairpin had said before leaving and started overthinking…
“We’re not close…” Lian Xing said seriously, under Silver Dragon’s suspicious gaze.
…
…
A few minutes later, after finally comforting her jealous lover, Lian Xing, not even bothering to say goodbye to Tian Quan, the third wheel , went to find the Great Lord Biluo.
Inside the familiar cave, filled with high-tech devices…
At the end of the cave, the green-haired woman stood before a teleportation array, adjusting the coordinates. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned to look at the golden-haired girl with starry eyes.
“Moon Rabbit, have you chosen your team?”
“I suggest you join the 8th-ranked team, ‘Get Out, Stocking Wearer ??’. Although they’re highly ranked, they’re always short on members. And the captain is the daughter of a friend of mine. With my recommendation, you won’t be benched…”
“I’ll Measure Your Code!” However, Lian Xing, ignoring the Great Lord Biluo’s suggestion, blurted out those words.
“…”
“…”
“I’ll Measure Your Code!!!” After a while, seeing the Great Lord Biluo’s stunned expression, Lian Xing repeated herself, her voice filled with enthusiasm.
A few seconds later, the Great Lord Biluo’s expression returned to normal, but it was speechless…
Although it was the team’s name… was she trying to insult a Monarch-Tier pet beast…?
“Have you decided?”
“I’ll Measure Your…”
“That team is ranked 15th. They’re not a top team, and they haven’t been in contact with me recently, so I can’t guarantee that you’ll get to play immediately.”
“Why not join the 8th-ranked team?”
“Stockings must win!!!” With this nonsensical declaration, Lian Xing stepped into the teleportation array.
Watching the golden-haired girl’s disappearing figure, the Great Lord Biluo’s lips twitched.
Just because of such a trivial reason…?
But since Lian Xing had made her decision, there was no point in arguing.
Long-distance teleportation took one or two hours.
The Great Lord Biluo immediately took out its phone and started sending messages.
2nd-level region, Beast Tamer Alliance.
The entire sky was covered by a giant, silver shield. The city was filled with giant, nest-shaped arenas, with no residential buildings in sight.
Strictly speaking, this wasn’t actually a 2nd-level region. Its area was less than one percent of Baiyue Province.
The entire Beast Tamer Alliance’s combined power was considered a 2nd-level region.
But this area was the Alliance’s central hub, a place built solely for battles!!
There were no ordinary residents or passersby here, only the members of hundreds of teams.
It was like an elite academy city…
The Beast Tamers who emerged from here every year were all super elites with the potential to reach Monarch-Tier!!!
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
At the center of the city, in a fountain-shaped teleportation array…
A golden-haired girl materialized in a flash of silver light. A few seconds later, her starry eyes opened, and she looked around at the giant arenas with a look of wonder.
This place reminded her of the main city teleportation hub in her previous life’s online game.
As Lian Xing marveled at the scenery, a woman in a golden cloak, waiting outside the fountain, asked, “Hey, are you the Beast Tamer recommended by the Great Lord Biluo?”
“Golden hair, starry eyes…it seems to match…but just in case, state your name.”
“Moon Rabbit…” Lian Xing replied respectfully, without hesitation.
The Great Lord Biluo had warned her not to use her real name here. There were too many spectators. Unless she wanted to become famous, she shouldn’t reveal her true identity, or her hometown would be overrun by fans.
Especially those star players, their fanatic fans were everywhere, so they couldn’t reveal even a hint of their real identities.
The woman in the golden cloak nodded, then said, her speech slightly stilted, “Moon Rabbit, follow me. I’m a reserve member of ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’. I’ll take you to our team’s section.”
“Alright, Sister of ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’,” Lian Xing replied with a smile.
“By the way, congratulations on joining ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’.”
“Yes, I’m honored to join ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’.”
“…”
“…”
Beast Tamer Alliance, “I’ll Measure Your Code” team section.
The woman in the golden cloak led Lian Xing through the futuristic building, explaining the basics of the Beast Tamer Alliance as they walked. They had initially greeted each other by asking about each other’s mothers, but they had quickly switched back to normal human conversation.
“Almost every team has a Monarch-Tier sponsor. We also received support from the Great Lord Biluo in the past.”
“But we’re not sponsored by the Great Lord Biluo alone, so even with its recommendation, you might not be able to play immediately.”
“The specific match schedule…you’ll have to ask the captain~~~” As she finished speaking, they reached an electronic device at the end of the hallway. After registering her name, fingerprints, facial features, and other biometric data, the door at the end of the hallway opened automatically.
In the next second, several team members, watching a match on a large screen in the team resting area, looked over curiously, their gazes fixed on the petite, golden-haired girl. Among them, a voluptuous woman with a purple scorpion braid was particularly eye-catching.
A golden badge adorned her chest.
It seemed…
She was the captain…
Not only the captain, but every member here was much older than Lian Xing.
A strange thought crossed Lian Xing’s mind.
In the previous leagues, she had only encountered young girls, none older than 20.
But in this Beast Tamer Alliance, with its age limit of 30, almost everyone was a mature and experienced woman, their figures and appearances even more perfect…
Perhaps here she could find more…one-twentieths of her destiny~~~~
“Wait, are you sure?”
“Isn’t she just a child?”
“My daughter is older than her!!!” After a few seconds of silent observation, one of the team members stood up in disbelief.
They had only known that the Great Lord Biluo had recommended a new member, they knew nothing about Lian Xing herself.
So, seeing the golden-haired girl, everyone was stunned.
“Could she be one of those people who look younger than they are…?” another team member suggested.
But no matter how you looked at it, this… little brat…Lian Xing was definitely under 20.
“Everyone, it’s an honor to join ‘I’ll Measure Your Code’.”
“I’m 15 years old this year. Please take care of me~~~” Lian Xing said politely.
Hearing this, the resting area fell silent.
Most humans only gained the ability to contract pet beasts at 15, right?
This girl…
Entering the Beast Tamer Alliance at 15…
Had she been beast taming since she was in the womb…?
At this moment, even those who had been dissatisfied with Lian Xing’s sudden arrival suppressed their feelings.
They wouldn’t argue with a child.
When they were 15, they were still struggling with High-Tier evolution paths in their regional academies…
Just then, the woman with the purple scorpion braid, sitting on the sofa, spoke, “Tonight at 9 PM, we’re fighting against the 28th-ranked team. You’ll be participating in the Hell Survival round. Only one participant allowed. Perform well, and you can play in the next match.”
“If your performance is unsatisfactory, you’ll be benched, and your future appearances will be uncertain…”
“…”
“…”
Although her voice was cold, the captain was clearly giving the Great Lord Biluo face, granting Lian Xing a chance to play in the first official match.
Besides those rare individuals who were born with unparalleled talent, how strong could a 15-year-old newborn be?
Even participating in the Academy League would be a challenge, right…?
Lian Xing nodded calmly.
She naturally knew the rules of Hell Survival. It was a new mode introduced in the third anniversary update of Pet Beast Evolution Battle.
Meanwhile, the reserve member who had been following her started explaining patiently, “The Alliance Competition’s ranked battles are held every three days, with four rounds per match.”
“The four rounds are: 3-Pet Rotation Battle, Single Pet Battle, 4-Pet Hell Survival, and 5-Pet Siege Battle.”
“Once a pet beast participates in a round, it can’t be used in another round.”
“By the way, winning in the Single Pet Battle only awards one point, so it’s the least important. Teams usually don’t send their strongest pet beasts for this round. The other three rounds award 3 points each, so the maximum score per match is 10 points!!”
“And finally, only the 5-Pet Siege Battle allows Awakening, so it’s the most important round, with the highest viewership. All teams will deploy their strongest lineups for this round!!!”
“…”
“…”
“I see—” Lian Xing nodded thoughtfully.
Compared to the Academy League’s single-elimination format, the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition was much more formal…
There wouldn’t be any unlucky situations where two strong teams met early and one was eliminated.
All teams would play against each other throughout the season, the winner determined by the total points. And with the restriction on pet beast participation, those unorthodox single pet builds were completely eliminated.
“Darling, don’t just stand there, come sit here~~~” At this moment, a beautiful woman with shoulder-length, curly black hair, sitting on the sofa near the wall, beckoned Lian Xing curiously.
She was the one who had exclaimed that her daughter was older than Lian Xing.
Lian Xing didn’t refuse and walked over. Seeing this, the woman in the golden cloak chuckled awkwardly, then quietly retreated, leaving the resting room. As a reserve member, she wasn’t allowed to intrude on the main team’s resting area.
But in her view, this golden-haired girl would soon be joining her…
A 15-year-old official member…?
In your dreams…!!!
