Chapter 143: Lian Xing’s Past Life!??
“Wife, I’ve finally found you!!!”
Lian Xing turned to look at the green-haired girl with a confused expression. The girl had two low, green twintails, butterfly hair clips, and an…ordinary appearance, not as stunning as Snow Sun. Simply put, she looked like a village girl who had somehow wandered into a beauty pageant.
“Wait, who the hell are you?” Lian Xing asked, shaking off the green-haired girl’s hand and looking at Zi Meng.
Zi Meng shook her head silently.
So, this crazy girl wasn’t going to be their teammate.
However, before Lian Xing could reject her, the green-haired girl started wailing like a grieving widow.
“You’re my wife from my past life, the Star Goddess! Wuwuwu, how could you forget?”
“Star Goddess, how could you forget the days we spent together? You heartless woman!!!”
“…”
“…”
“What Star Goddess? This girl has probably been reading too many trashy novels…,” Zi Meng muttered.
And Lian Xing, after a moment of silence, replied seriously, “Impossible. I have memories of my past life!!!”
Zi Meng’s expression became even more blank…
So your novel was even more ridiculous…
Just as the green-haired girl was about to argue, a crackling sound of thunder echoed.
“Boom!!!”
Like a thunderbolt, the loud noise made everyone’s hair stand on end. Then, under everyone’s nervous gazes, a girl wreathed in purple lightning, her body crackling with electricity, walked towards them.
The Third Princess of Youyou Leize, the Legend Beast Tamer, the master of Ephemeral, Thunder Fly!!!
“Your eighteenth alt account’s relationship slots are full, aren’t they?”
“Stop scamming people and get lost!!!” Thunder Fly snapped at the green-haired girl.
Seeing Thunder Fly, the green-haired girl pouted and retreated, quickly disappearing from sight. Then, Thunder Fly turned to Lian Xing.
“Don’t mind that lunatic. She has a story for everyone, just to scam relationship slots. She’s the infamous slut of the Dominating Cauldron Palace, the embodiment of promiscuity…”
“So, the renowned Third Princess, are you here to carry us through the qualifiers? I’m so honored~~~” Lian Xing said with a smile, ignoring the previous incident.
Hearing this, the lightning horns on Thunder Fly’s head flickered, and it nodded, giving Lian Xing a warning look. Zi Meng, sensing the special relationship between the two, looked puzzled.
Had Lian Xing known the Third Princess of Youyou Leize before?
The Fivefold Samsara could only simulate battle scenarios and evolution paths, not relationships or marriages, so it couldn’t see the connection between Lian Xing and Thunder Fly.
But there was no doubt…the Third Princess was their third teammate…
Meanwhile, the green-haired girl, after being rebuked by Thunder Fly, didn’t bother Lian Xing anymore, instead running towards the City of Awe’s section, bowing before their palanquin.
“Greetings, Star Goddess!!”
“Star Goddess, we were lovers who fought side by side in our past lives! Let’s team up again in this life and overcome this challenge~~~”
Seeing this, Lian Xing, in the distance, was speechless.
So, as Thunder Fly had said, this girl used the same line on everyone. She must have lost her mind from reading too many trashy novels.
If it were some naive village girl, she might actually be fooled…
Half an hour later, all the participants had formed their teams. Some, not trusting strangers, had chosen to participate solo, using all their own pet beasts.
The most intimidating team was from Youyou Leize.
The frail-looking, purple-haired woman in a purple court dress, the Second Princess of Youyou Leize.
The silver-haired girl with pale eyes, Dead Ash.
And the stunning woman with long, white hair and snowflake-like eyes, Snow Sun.
No one had expected these three T0 contenders to team up.
And on the other side, Tears Maiden of Worry-Free Pond and the palanquin of the City of Awe were standing side by side, the shameless green-haired girl chattering beside them.
Besides these four top teams, the team formed by Thunder Fly and Lian Xing also attracted a lot of attention.
Even the Second Princess of Youyou Leize kept glancing at them curiously.
Just then, the commentator’s voice echoed, “Now, let me add a few more rules. After entering the portal, Beast Tamers will be protected. You won’t be harmed. But if your pet beasts are defeated, they’re truly defeated, which will affect your performance in later rounds.”
“You don’t have to fight the examiner inside the portal. As long as two of your pet beasts can reach the gate on the other side, you’ll pass, no matter the method. Now, please enter, starting with the nearest teams~~~”
Under everyone’s gaze, a team from a 4th-level region entered the portal.
However, less than ten seconds later, they were teleported back, their faces pale, their breathing ragged, as if they had suffered a severe blow, clearly having lost their pet beasts.
“What’s going on? Why did the Monarch-Tier pet beast use its full power against us?”
“This qualifier round is unreasonable…!!!”
“…”
“…”
“Uh, this is to reduce the mortality rate. If you can’t even last a few seconds against a Monarch-Tier pet beast, then you shouldn’t participate in the later rounds. You’ll likely be killed by the aftershocks of the top contenders’ battles.”
“And the examiner chosen by the Seven Heavens didn’t even use its full power, just its aura,” the commentator explained.
Hearing this, the three eliminated participants looked frustrated.
Even if it was just an aura attack, this qualifier round was still too difficult!
They didn’t believe anyone could withstand a Monarch-Tier pet beast’s aura at Royal-Tier!!!
Soon, the second team was also eliminated, having lasted for only half a minute.
Five minutes passed, and dozens of teams had been eliminated, none passing the qualifier.
But the participants from the 2nd-level regions still hadn’t made a move…
Finally, the team from the 2nd-level region’s Beast Tamer Alliance, consisting of Moon Princess, Chiyu, and the Soul Hunters captain, entered the portal. Just a dozen seconds later, they were teleported back.
“Buzz.”
A number—[17:58]—appeared above the portal.
“Oh, the first team to pass! They crossed the Monarch-Tier defense line in under 18 seconds~~~”
Moon Princess and her team members’ expressions were calm, as if they hadn’t been affected at all. Seeing this, the eliminated teams looked at them in disbelief.
“What happened? Didn’t the Monarch attack you? How did you pass?”
“Well, I think this is much easier than last year’s intelligence test… And that examiner’s rarity wasn’t very high. It wouldn’t be considered a difficult opponent in the 4v4 Hell Survival,” Moon Princess said casually, as if it were…obvious.
“I don’t know, I don’t usually play 4v4,” Chiyu said coldly.
Two Emperor’s bloodlines… many participants thought, looking at the first team to pass.
After that, the teams from the 2nd and 3rd-level regions began entering the portal, the success rate increasing significantly. Within half an hour, 17 teams had passed the first qualifier round. The current best time was 9 seconds, achieved by the three participants from Youyou Leize, twice as fast as Moon Princess and Chiyu’s time.
And just then, as a certain team appeared, the entire venue fell silent.
Under everyone’s gaze, Tears Maiden, the palanquin of the City of Awe, and the chattering green-haired girl entered the first qualifier round’s teleportation array.
“Oh, this is the team formed by Tears Maiden of Worry-Free Pond, Little Flower Goddess of the City of Awe, and Jade Lady of the Dominating Cauldron Palace~~~”
“What a luxurious lineup… I wonder how long they’ll take…”
However, before the commentator could even finish her sentence, the giant palanquin reappeared, followed by Tears Maiden and the green-haired girl, their expressions indifferent. As a shocking number appeared above the portal, everyone froze.
[1.76 seconds]
Wait…where was the Monarch-Tier examiner?
Had it just let them pass…?
Had the examiner thrown the match…?
What did a 1.76-second clear time even mean!?
Suddenly, many people noticed the commentator’s words and looked at the noisy green-haired girl.
Even Lian Xing and Zi Meng exchanged glances.
“Jade Lady?”
“A T0 contender?”
“This…thing…!?” Realizing this, the viewers from various regions began complaining…
This Jade Lady…she had actually impersonated a commentator and insulted the other participants, taking advantage of the fact that her face hadn’t been revealed… How shameless…
However, Lian Xing wasn’t surprised by Jade Lady’s identity, but by her appearance…
According to the information, wasn’t Jade Lady one of the consorts…of Lover, one of the 72 Legends?
And Lover’s consorts were all incredibly beautiful… But this girl looked like a village girl…
How had Lover even noticed her?
Does this mean…I could also…?
Besides her physical condition, Lian Xing thought she was quite attractive…
“…”
“…”
“Little Star, should we go? I don’t want to wait any longer~~” Thunder Fly suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Lian Xing looked at the purple-haired, blind girl beside her. “What do you think?”
Zi Meng pondered for a moment, then analyzed, “The Fivefold Samsara can perfectly avoid the Monarch-Tier pet beast’s attacks and reach the finish line in under three seconds, but the Thundering Thousand Tribulations needs about five seconds.”
“If we deploy Star Sand, it won’t be affected by the attacks, but its flying speed is slow, it’ll take about 1.5 seconds.”
“But if we deploy Ephemeral and the Cloud Dream Calamity together, we can clear it instantly.”
As Zi Meng finished her detailed simulation results, Thunder Fly blinked in surprise.
What was with this woman? Could she…predict the future…?
Seeing Thunder Fly’s shock, Lian Xing explained seriously, “She has a…system cheat…, a beast taming simulator. Have you read those kinds of…wish-fulfillment novels…?”
“I haven’t!!!” Zi Meng protested, her face slightly red.
After a brief discussion, they decided to deploy Ephemeral and the Cloud Dream Calamity together. After all, the first qualifier round wouldn’t be broadcast, only the time would be revealed.
A few seconds later, after another team was eliminated, Lian Xing, Thunder Fly, and Zi Meng approached the gate under everyone’s gaze.
“Just have Ephemeral and the Cloud Dream Calamity charge forward. Don’t worry about anything else…” Zi Meng whispered before they entered.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”
After a brief wait, the three of them were teleported inside.
Soon, their consciousness returned, and as they opened their eyes, they saw a vast, starry sky. A new teleportation array was located a hundred meters away, seemingly the exit for this qualifier test.
However, a humanoid woman with ice-blue hair was blocking the gate. Her long, ice-blue pincers were bound by shackles, and her beautiful, jade-white body was also tied with black ropes, like a…prisoner…
Monarch-Tier Biological Species, the Ice Prison Executioner, imprisoned by the Seven Heavens for 10,000 years for illegally throwing Calamity Sun.
At this moment, seeing the three girls, its expression turned ferocious…
For every team it stopped, its sentence would be reduced by one year.
So, it would give it its all, no matter the opponent.
“I…”
“Whoosh, whoosh—”
However, before it could even finish speaking, two figures, their speed like lightning, zipped past it, one a pink, petal-formed sword, the other a cloud of mist with a jade-green horn. Accompanied by a wave of turbulent energy, the teleportation array behind it shattered.
And then, under the Ice Prison Executioner’s frozen gaze, the three girls’ figures blurred, and they were teleported out.
“I…I didn’t even react!?”
“How…how is that possible!?” The Ice Prison Executioner, finally realizing what had happened, its expression filled with shock and fear.
Meanwhile, Zi Meng, during the teleportation, was also shocked.
Although she had seen this in her simulation, she was still stunned by Ephemeral and the Cloud Dream Calamity’s speed.
If these two pet beasts suddenly attacked her, even if the Fivefold Samsara simulated the scenario ten thousand times, she wouldn’t be able to react. Their speed was beyond her comprehension…!!!
Back at the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s testing grounds…
Lian Xing, Thunder Fly, and Zi Meng reappeared almost instantly, as if they hadn’t even entered the portal.
Just as everyone was confused…
A number appeared above the portal, silencing the entire audience.
At this moment, disbelief, confusion, and all sorts of emotions filled their minds.
[0.000008 seconds]
Ephemeral, Cloud Dream Calamity…
They had crushed the first qualifier round with their absolute speed!!!
