Chapter 123: Lian Xing VS Moon Princess, True Emperor’s Blood!!
“Moon Rabbit, stop pretending. Use your full power~~~”
“I won’t let you act your way into the top five so easily~~~~”
“…”
“…”
“The Beast Tamer Alliance isn’t so weak that you can just walk all over it…” As Moon Princess’s casual words echoed through the stage, after a brief silence, the entire Beast Tamer Alliance livestream chat erupted.
At this moment, all eyes were on the golden-haired girl with starry eyes.
Wait, was Moon Princess talking to her?
Moon Rabbit…
What was going on!!!?
Had Moon Princess recognized her strength?
Or did they already know each other?
Chiyu, the captain of Inverted City, also sensed something amiss, her gaze fixed on Lian Xing. Although Moon Princess’s words were indirect, their meaning was clear: she was implying that Moon Rabbit had faked her way to her current position, effortlessly achieving an 8-win streak!!
And what was even more unbelievable…Moon Princess had abandoned her one-person-four-roles strategy, deploying all her pet beasts in the 4v4 Hell Survival.
However, at this moment, as the audience, the commentators, and even her teammates were shocked…the golden-haired girl’s expression remained unchanged, as if she were a mute…
Lian Xing hadn’t expected Moon Princess to expose her.
How annoying…
According to her plan, she wasn’t supposed to reveal any of her true strength before facing Dead Ash. Although a Beast Tamer like Dead Ash probably wouldn’t watch other teams’ matches, Lian Xing still wanted their final battle to be a surprise, without any prior information, a true test of strength.
So, she hadn’t bothered researching the Dead Ash team’s pet beasts.
But now…
It seemed she couldn’t hide any longer…
“…”
“…”
“Are you talking to me Princess…?” Lian Xing asked, pointing at herself, her expression innocent, her eyes wide.
Seeing this, the people in Baiyue Province were speechless.
Lian Xing’s acting was too fake…!!!
This wasn’t the time to play dumb…
Being called out like this, she should at least show some surprise…!!!
However, just as the Beast Tamer Alliance livestream chat fell silent, a prominent comment appeared.
[Nimble-Fingered Xiao Kui: It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. Let me clarify. Their positions and identities aren’t what you think. For Moon Rabbit, Moon Princess is the challenger…]
Under the exasperated gazes of the Baiyue Province academies, Xiao Kui’s sudden appearance attracted half of the hatred, her ancestors’ graves drowning in the spit of Moon Princess’s fans.
Meanwhile, Moon Princess didn’t seem surprised by Lian Xing’s reaction, instead tilting her head with a smile.
“Yes, I’m talking to you~~”
“I want to see you perform that trick again…the one where you cancel your Viral Space right before the Monarch-Tier attack hits~~”
“…”
“…”
At this moment, even the slowest viewers understood the situation.
Not only the “Measure Your Code” team members, but even the red-haired woman with the exposed weapon on the commentary desk looked surprised.
At this moment, Lian Xing’s expression finally changed.
No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn’t keep up the act anymore. So, under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl lowered her head, a dark expression appearing on her face, hidden behind her golden bangs.
It was as if she were threatening Moon Princess.
With her lewd starry eyes, making a serious expression was difficult, which meant that Lian Xing was truly annoyed…
However, after a few seconds, Lian Xing’s expression returned to normal. She tilted her head and looked at Moon Princess with a smile.
“Don’t cry too loudly later—”
“…”
“…”
“I’m looking forward to it~~~” Moon Princess replied with a smile.
Meanwhile, seeing that Lian Xing had finally dropped the act, Zi Ye, the captain, walked over and whispered, “Do you want to adjust the lineup? We still have a few substitutions left.”
Actually, Captain Zi Ye had already sensed something amiss…
If Moon Rabbit’s main battle pet beast was the Mist Colt, then it couldn’t possibly be this strong, and it wouldn’t have a Red Quality combat skill.
So, she must be hiding her true power…!!!
However, Lian Xing simply shook her head in response to the captain’s question.
4v4 Hell Survival wasn’t about combat power. In terms of defense, the Mist Colt alone was enough!!
Zi Ye nodded, then said seriously, “Be careful. Moon Princess is different from the captains of Inverted City and Shining Girls. Her pet beasts are incredibly strong even in their normal state, so she can afford to spread out her forces and participate in all rounds, not focusing solely on the 5v5 Siege Battle.”
Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded silently.
The last of the four rounds, the 5v5 Siege Battle, was the only one that allowed Awakening.
As everyone knew, after reaching Royal-Tier, combat power wasn’t just about the visible aura.
The power boost from Awakening was also a significant factor.
So, pet beasts with strong and stable base stats usually participated in the first three rounds, while those with large Awakening boosts were saved for the final round.
Moon Princess was the type whose combat power didn’t fluctuate much, so she had a significant advantage in 4v4 Hell Survival.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jie, the commentator, was also excited…
“Oh, it seems this Moon Rabbit is a bit strange. She actually made Moon Princess lower herself to target her. I knew it! How could a mere Mid-Tier pet beast achieve an 8-win streak in the Beast Tamer Alliance?”
“But isn’t Moon Rabbit going to adjust her lineup? Is it really wise to face Moon Princess’s main force with just a Mid-Tier Mist Colt!?”
“Remember, at the beginning of the season, Moon Princess and the Shining Girls captain reached the fourth stage of the Monarch-Tier attack in this round!!!”
As Xiao Jie finished her analysis, the first match between the Monday team and the “Measure Your Code” team finally began.
Black Magpie’s daughter was still the anchor…
However, the Monday team’s strength was clearly on a different level compared to all the teams they had faced before, even a level above the 5th-ranked Soul Hunters.
Under the worried gazes of the Baiyue Province viewers, the Wing-Hiding Black Sky daughter’s first Rotation Battle was a disaster.
Even without Moon Princess’s pet beasts, the other Monday team members were incredibly strong, pushing the Wing-Hiding Black Sky back from the start. Then, under Black Magpie’s grim gaze, her daughter’s pet beast was quickly pulverized…
Soon, the other two pet beasts from the “Measure Your Code” team were also defeated.
A 0:3 loss in the first round…
Little Sheep, the girl with pink buns, looked devastated…
The morale of the “Measure Your Code” team plummeted.
Seeing this, the Beast Tamer Alliance livestream chat erupted in discussion.
“The difference in strength is too big! They couldn’t even defeat a single opponent without Moon Princess’s pet beasts!!!”
“There’s nothing they can do. This is the peak of the Beast Tamer Alliance~~~”
“The ‘Measure Your Code’ team is going to be shut out, aren’t they?”
“Why would Moon Princess lower herself to deal with a Mid-Tier pet beast? Even if it’s special, it shouldn’t require Moon Princess’s full power, right?”
“Heh, Moon Princess is the only true heir of the Hidden Moon Marquis! She simply can’t stand someone treating the Alliance Competition like a joke and decided to teach them a lesson. Stop saying she’s lowering herself. That’s just stupid…!!”
The comments were overwhelmingly negative…
No one believed that “I’ll Measure Your Code” could score a single point in this match.
Even their acquaintances in Baiyue Province weren’t optimistic.
In the Youlan Academy livestream, the Dean of Youlan Academy, who had kicked out her daughter and was now commentating herself, was furious…
They might believe that the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, the Red Prison Palace Master, and even Star Sand could defeat Royal-Tier pet beasts, those were Lian Xing’s signature pet beasts, which had slaughtered countless opponents in the Academy League.
But just a Mid-Tier Mist Colt…what could it possibly do?
After all, they had watched plenty of Moon Princess’s matches!!!
As Moon Princess waited, her expression somewhat absentminded, time ticked by. After the 0:3 loss in the 3v3 Rotation Battle, Baimu, who was responsible for the 1v1 Single Pet Battle, was also defeated.
“Completely outmatched…” the green-haired woman said dejectedly as she returned.
They hadn’t felt this frustrated when they were crushed by the Soul Hunters team before, because their opponents hadn’t mocked them.
It was like in a game, after being humiliated, you would be especially eager for revenge…
Having been provoked by Moon Princess, they wanted to prove themselves, but the more anxious they became, the worse they performed, ultimately ending in a crushing defeat.
But finally…
Under everyone’s gaze, Moon Princess, with a smile on her face, walked to the center of the stage, her flowing gown and golden hair capturing everyone’s attention. In contrast, Moon Rabbit walked onto the stage with an indifferent expression, her demeanor casual, as if she weren’t even interested…
And the other reserve member who was also participating in this round was almost wetting herself…
She hadn’t expected to face the infamous Moon Princess in her first official match, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
Just then, Moon Princess asked again, “Are you sure you don’t want to change your lineup?”
“…”
“…”
“One is enough,” Lian Xing replied calmly.
Under her teammates’ nervous gazes, the three of them were simultaneously teleported into a dark, empty space. The moment their vision returned, the familiar green flames and mist erupted from the golden-haired girl’s body.
Mid-Tier, Mist Colt!!!
The “Measure Your Code” team’s reserve member also quickly summoned her three placeholder pet beasts.
However, in the next second, before the battle even officially began, the entire battle space began to tremble violently.
“Boom!!!!!”
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”
A dazzling golden light enveloped Moon Princess, her beautiful golden hair flowing upwards as the surrounding space and Pet Essence shattered. Then, under the excited gazes of the audience and the worried eyes of the Baiyue Province viewers, a giant golden butterfly, its body covered in petal patterns, its wings emitting a blinding light, descended from the sky, its overwhelming aura suppressing everything.
As its golden wings flapped, a powerful gust of wind, like a tsunami, swept through the area.
If not for the protective mechanism, everything here would have been blown away.
Meanwhile, even Lian Xing’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this being.
“So that’s it…”
“I underestimated her—” After a brief moment of surprise, Lian Xing retracted her previous assessment of Moon Princess’s diluted bloodline.
Perhaps Moon Princess, as the product of an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer and an ordinary Beast Tamer, did have a weaker bloodline.
But…
Her importance had exceeded Lian Xing’s expectations!!!
Because she could tell at a glance that this butterfly possessed true Emperor’s blood!!!
Royal-Tier — Viral Species — Golden Flower Flying Moon!!!
Golden Flower Flying Moon, Moon Princess’s signature pet beast, also her half-sister…from the same mother but a different father…
And this was the strongest bloodline of the Hidden Moon Marquis, one of the Four Marquises of the Beast Tamer Alliance, and her Emperor-Tier wife…!!!
After summoning the Golden Flower Flying Moon, Moon Princess didn’t stop. Under the excited gazes of the millions of viewers, three more golden figures appeared behind her, one after another.
In an instant, their overwhelming aura dominated everything.
In comparison, Lian Xing and the Mist Colt looked like underdeveloped orphans, seemingly with no chance of winning.
This was a one-sided battle!!!
Meanwhile—
In a cave in Bimen Pass, the green-haired woman with the mechanical conch shell on her back was also quietly watching this match.
This was actually the Great Lord Biluo’s first time watching Lian Xing’s competition. It had been busy dealing with the aftermath of the Bimen Pass incident and only now had the time to watch Lian Xing’s battle.
It hadn’t expected such an explosive start.
“Lian Xing, facing one of the kings of the Beast Tamer Alliance…let me see what you can do…”
