Chapter 51: Rejecting Evolution, A New Form!! p2
[Starry Plains]
[Story Background: A fanatical Elemental Species specialist Beast Tamer, before dying in battle, released all her pet beasts. These abandoned pet beasts returned to the place where they first met their master and, through interbreeding, gave birth to a large number of Elemental Species. They firmly believe that one day, a true Elemental King will be born among their offspring!!]
[These Elemental Species are now roaming and wreaking havoc in Starry Plains, killing all wild pet beasts of other types, severely disrupting the ecological balance. Drive them out as soon as possible. No time limit.]
Under a starry night sky, the golden-haired girl with buns materialized. Before her was a vast plain. Standing on a hill, she could clearly see countless glowing dots in the distance, hundreds of meters away. There were too many Elemental Species to count.
Just then, a surprised voice came from beside her.
“Hmm? Little sister, are you a student from Youlan Academy!?”
Lian Xing turned and saw an older woman with chestnut brown hair staring at her uniform in amazement.
Oh? Did the system automatically match me with a wild teammate…?
She nodded nonchalantly, and the chestnut-haired woman’s expression lit up.
“Junior sister, I’m also a student from Youlan Academy!!!”
“You…?” Lian Xing blinked, looking at the woman who was clearly over 20 years old.
Seeing Lian Xing’s reaction, the chestnut-haired woman blushed slightly.
“Heehee, that was…seven or eight years ago. Back then, I was a young and beautiful girl too. Unfortunately, I wasn’t even ranked, and I could only watch as the main team was eliminated in the first round of the qualifiers~~~”
“After graduating, it took me seven or eight years to raise my first Commander-Tier pet beast. I can’t imagine how those monsters who already had Commander-Tier pet beasts as students were born~~~”
“By the way, Junior sister, what’s your ranking? Since you’re using the Starry Plains instance for leveling, you must be a core team member, right? Why didn’t I see you in the competition broadcast last year?”
“…”
“…”
“Beautiful, I just enrolled this year. I’m currently ranked 11th~~~” Lian Xing replied with a shy smile, playing the role of a well-behaved student.
Hearing this, the chestnut-haired woman was stunned, looking at the golden-haired, bun-wearing girl’s semi-transparent, thigh-hugging stockings in disbelief.
Enrolled in her first year, she must be only fifteen or sixteen, right?
Was it really okay to dress so…provocatively…at that age?
But…it was good to be…provocative…
If not at 15, then when? At 150?
Besides, she, at over 20 years old, couldn’t pull it off anymore. She could only watch others…shine…even…selling herself…had no market anymore!!!
“11th, huh? Not bad, not bad. Much better than me when I was young~~~”
“By the way, you should be able to get a spot on the second team, right? I’ll be watching Youlan Academy’s matches in the league. Looking forward to your performance~~~” The chestnut-haired woman summoned her pet beast while praising Lian Xing.
A black, elemental figure with swirling black blades materialized behind her.
Commander-Tier · Elemental Species — Ten-Hooked Night Terror!!!
Without a team to coordinate luring monsters, it was difficult to clear the first stage of Starry Plains, so she didn’t boast about carrying Lian Xing through the instance. After all, ordinary players treated this instance as a quick farming spot, grabbing as much experience as possible before the monsters gathered, not caring about actually clearing it.
“Junior sister, I’ll be going ahead~~~”
With that, the chestnut-haired woman confidently walked away from the spawn point with the Ten-Hooked Night Terror, heading towards the plains where the Elemental Species were gathered. The moment she stepped onto the plains, the black blades behind her erupted like a black storm, instantly piercing through several nearby High-Tier Elemental Species.
The power of a Commander-Tier Elemental Species was undeniable, a complete crushing dominance compared to the surrounding High-Tier Elemental Species!
Seeing her own attack power, the chestnut-haired woman’s expression turned smug. Finally, a chance to show off in front of her junior sister, letting her experience the world of Commander-Tier. She wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
But as the black storm expanded, more and more Elemental Species gathered.
“Boom!!”
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from nowhere, bypassing the Ten-Hooked Night Terror and hitting the chestnut-haired woman directly. As the flashing light dissipated, the woman collapsed, her body charred black.
[Player “Forever 16” has been defeated]
The chestnut-haired woman, now spectating after her death, scowled. Her highest speed kill record was 47, but today, in her eagerness to show off, she hadn’t kept her distance and had only killed around 30. How embarrassing…
Although slightly ashamed, she didn’t exit the instance, instead staying to observe the golden-haired, bun-wearing junior sister’s actions.
Meanwhile, seeing the annoying chatterbox finally gone, Lian Xing let out a sigh of relief.
Now, she could finally test the Red Prison Palace Master’s range and power…
“Boom!!!!!”
In an instant, both the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer and the Red Prison Palace Master appeared. The red glow of the Star Ring surrounding the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s ears crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater. The outer ring’s range was so large that it would even slice through its own user. If not for the friendly fire prevention, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer wouldn’t even be able to throw it.
“Wait, that thing…could it be…?” The chestnut-haired woman with the ID “Forever 16” stared blankly at the giant rabbit with ears.
Wasn’t that the infamous Super Golden Wheel and Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer that had been trending!?
But…
The Golden Wheels they were using were completely different…
This couldn’t be the same one, right?
She checked her teammate’s ID, confirming that it wasn’t Super Golden Wheel, but Strongest Moonlight Rabbit.
“I see, so she copied the build?”
“But how did this little sister know the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s evolution requirements? Just guessing?” Forever 16 muttered to herself, bewildered.
After evolving, the new Golden Wheel, the Red Prison Palace Master, wasn’t reflected in Lian Xing’s battle projection. It was now considered a completely new pet beast and couldn’t simply inherit the Golden Wheel’s template. If Lian Xing wanted to update her projection, she would have to challenge her previous self.
“Whirr——!!!!!”
In the next second, under the chestnut-haired woman’s incredulous gaze, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer began spinning the two red spiral Golden Wheels on its ears, the expanding Star Rings passing harmlessly through its body, creating a deafening roar.
Hearing the noise, forty or fifty nearby Elemental Species were attracted, flying towards the player spawn point on the hill.
Was she trying to take on over 40 High-Tier Elemental Species at once?
Seeing the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s actions, Forever 16 couldn’t understand the newbie’s logic. However, Lian Xing, the golden-haired, bun-wearing, stocking-clad girl, simply smiled, extending her arms towards the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer as if asking for a hug.
She even wished there were more Elemental Species gathered…
Finally, as the first High-Tier Elemental Species, the “Water Elemental King,” came within 30 meters, its hands glowing with energy as it prepared for a ranged attack…
Holding the golden-haired girl in its arms, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer finally attacked.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The spring-loaded firing pins, triggered by the sweat glands in the rabbit’s ear fur, launched the two rapidly spinning Red Prison Palace Masters with explosive force. The terrifying impact created a hundred-meter wide crater, the ground collapsing, shockwaves rippling through the air. Lian Xing, clinging tightly to the rabbit’s fur, narrowly avoided being crushed.
The two Golden Wheels, surrounded by red Star Rings, pierced through the battlefield like lightning, covering three hundred meters in an instant. The Water Elemental King, still charging its attack, and the swarm of High-Tier Elemental Species behind it, all froze, their elemental bodies bisected by red lines.
“Whoosh—”
In the next second, all the Elemental Species in the area were cleanly sliced, their illusory limbs scattering, their glowing energy fading.
Facing such terrifying speed, they didn’t even have time to react.
After crossing the battlefield, the two Red Prison Palace Masters continued towards the plains without slowing down. The noise and commotion from their high-speed flight had attracted even more Elemental Species, which gathered in their path, attempting to intercept them.
Then—
[Thunderclap]
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In the next second, a deafening explosion erupted, crimson lightning flashing, engulfing the High-Tier Elemental Species in a hundred-meter wide fan-shaped area behind them.
Meanwhile, propelled by the explosion, the two slightly slowed Red Prison Palace Masters accelerated to their limit again, transforming into terrifying red blurs as they flew back to the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s ears.
“Bang——!!!!!”
The impact of the returning Red Prison Palace Masters sent the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer sliding back three meters before it regained its footing. Scalding steam erupted from the hollow rings on its ears, the deafening roar like a rocket launch.
A few seconds later, as the flames and smoke on the plains subsided, almost all the High-Tier Elemental Species within a kilometer radius were gone.
Forever 16, the chestnut-haired woman in the spectator mode, stared at the scene blankly.
“…”
“…”
“All…all gone…!?”
“Impossible!!!!” After a long silence, she covered her mouth with her hands, her voice filled with disbelief.
The entire Starry Plains, in her spectator view, was empty, only a few scattered Elemental Species remaining at the edges.
What the hell was this “Strongest Moonlight Rabbit”!!??
Meanwhile, as the scorching air calmed down, Lian Xing, who had been hiding in the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s arms, cautiously raised her head, looking at the devastated plains. The dimmed energy bodies of High-Tier Elemental Species littered the ground. Nothing within the attack range had escaped the Red Prison Palace Master’s blades.
After all, compared to the previous Golden Wheels, which had a total diameter of only two meters, the current Red Prison Palace Master consisted of a two-meter diameter core, two three-meter wide hollow rings, and an outer red Star Ring almost a meter wide.
This meant that the Red Prison Palace Master’s attack range during flight was over ten meters, five times that of the Golden Wheels!!!
A two-meter long blade was common, but a ten-meter one? And one that moved at high speed!!
“One Thunderclap wiped them all out…” Looking at the empty plains, Lian Xing scratched her head, feeling slightly disappointed. It seemed the difficulty of this instance couldn’t test the Red Prison Palace Master’s full potential…
But since she had already cleared the first stage, she might as well try to break the instance record, right?
