Chapter 58: Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer + Red Prison Palace Master, Explosive Debut!!
First Round Qualifier, Youlan Academy First Team VS White Maple Academy Second Team.
Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes casually sat down at her battle device. In this world of beast tamers, there were countless beautiful girls with flawless appearances, but only a few could truly leave a lasting impression.
Starry eyes, bun hairstyle, a unique and eye-catching style.
And those plump, smooth, stocking-clad legs…they had instantly awakened the desires of many viewers, who wondered how she managed to maintain such soft, bouncy flesh on those slender legs.
Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, Lian Xing!!
Many White Maple Academy fans had already witnessed her two crimson Golden Wheels in the recent exhibition match.
But!
She couldn’t possibly keep using…Personally Entering the Battle…until the end, right?
So, what was her main battle pet beast…?
At this moment, as the viewers held their breath, the countdown finally ended, and both teams logged into their battle devices. Because this was an official match, to prevent players from advertising products or inappropriately promoting themselves, everyone was forced to use their team IDs, eliminating the possibility of using attention-grabbing virtual IDs.

[Mode selected: Team Melee (Unlimited)]
“…”
“…”
“It’s over! We’re doomed!!!”
“Could White Maple Academy’s second team actually fail to qualify? That would affect the main team’s performance!”
“I heard White Maple Academy specializes in the all-in, pet-focused style. Unlimited mode is very disadvantageous for them…”
The moment the game mode was revealed, the White Maple Academy team members’ faces turned ashen. Even some White Maple Academy fans in the livestream chat started panicking and wailing, confusing the casual viewers.
White Maple Academy was one of the Ten Greats academies, their foundation far stronger than the insignificant Youlan Academy.
Even if it was just their second team, they shouldn’t be so pessimistic just because they got an unfavorable mode, right?
However, anyone who had watched Youlan Academy’s exhibition match would understand that Unlimited mode was Strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s specialty. After all, how could a Beast Tamer’s first main battle pet beast be a Weapon Species!?
Unless it was a flying sword type that didn’t require manual control…
At this moment, facing the livestream camera, even the second team captain couldn’t help but turn to look at their vice-captain, her expression worried. The cold woman with long, black hair simply shook her head with a smile.
She had only said that her chances of winning were high in single pet deployment, never claiming that they couldn’t win in Unlimited mode.
Even in Unlimited mode, her win rate was over 70%!!!
And if they got a small map, White Maple Academy’s chances of winning would double.
[Randomizing map…]
[Map selected: Iron Cage Arena]
Look, there was hope~~~
Seeing the map, the White Maple Academy second team members’ gloomy expressions brightened. Xiao Kui had mentioned that Strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s main battle pet beast was a throwing type.
On a map so small that even a Mid-Tier pet beast would feel cramped, how could a throwing type utilize its abilities?
However…
As everyone waited with their own thoughts, the golden-haired girl with buns simply stared blankly at the screen, her starry eyes unfocused, her slender legs dangling restlessly beneath the device. Just like a teacher could easily tell who was daydreaming in class, it was obvious that her mind was elsewhere, not paying attention to the selected mode or map.
After a dozen seconds, startled by the cold sensation of Yu Bo’s bodily fluids soaking through the floor and touching her feet, Lian Xing’s eyes finally focused, glancing at the battle rules.
“…”
“…”
“I have a bad feeling about this…”
In the spectator area of the White Maple Academy training room, Aurora, the girl with chestnut brown braids, one of the Ten Greats, muttered softly, seeing the opponent’s indifferent expression.
This was her intuition as a Commander-Tier Beast Tamer.
This battle would be…unpleasant…

[Logging in—]
“Whoosh!!!”
With a flash of white light, the livestream camera switched to the virtual battle map. As the players’ consciousnesses connected to the virtual battle, their physical bodies fell asleep.
Incidentally, over ten years ago, a star player had lost a significant number of fans because of their bad sleeping habits: grinding their teeth, snoring, drooling the whole package. And another Ten Greats player, famous for their pure and innocent persona, had accidentally revealed their dark secret of having hundreds of alternate accounts, each with a full friend list of romantic partners, through sleep talking.
So, after protests from the players, the league rules were changed, prohibiting cameras from filming the players’ sleeping faces during matches.
Iron Cage Arena, a small map.
Coincidentally, this was the same map Lian Xing had fought on during her first ranking battle after transmigrating, against Yin Huomei. It was also the only time she had used Moonlight Drive in battle. After that match, she had immediately reset the Moonlight Rabbit’s evolution path.
At this moment, inside the small arena enclosed by silver bars, the White Maple Academy second team members stood on one side, while the Youlan Academy first team members stood on the other. Because it was Unlimited mode, the lineups weren’t revealed beforehand. Each team could deploy as many pet beasts as they wanted.
During the 30-second countdown, summoning pet beasts of any tier wouldn’t consume the Beast Tamer’s stamina.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”
Blinding white lights flashed as pet beasts materialized. With about 20 seconds left on the countdown, after a brief discussion, the White Maple Academy second team members summoned their main battle pet beasts.
A total of eight pet beasts were present, three of them High-Tier!!!
The most eye-catching, the one with the strongest aura, was a blurry grey snake coiled around the black-haired woman. Although it looked like a Biological Species, it seemed to have no physical form, simply clinging to the White Maple Academy vice-captain.
High-Tier · Viral Species · Grey Dust!!
Next was a sand-type Elemental Species, its body glowing yellow. Although its appearance was unimpressive, its rough body and structure exuded a sense of weight and solidity.
High-Tier · Elemental Species — Earth Shield Shell!!!
This Elemental Species was the second team captain’s main battle pet beast.
As for the last High-Tier pet beast…
It belonged to the original second team vice-captain, a sniper rifle with countless bee-like compound eyes. The rifle’s body was covered in disgusting, egg-shaped organs, making it impossible to tell where the muzzle was.
High-Tier · Weapon Species — Pustule Spike!!
The three core members didn’t have a second pet beast. This was why they had been so pessimistic about Unlimited mode.
But…
The number of pet beasts didn’t always determine the outcome!!!
With the vice-captain’s infamous Grey Dust, no matter how many High-Tier pet beasts the opponents had, White Maple Academy would be fine~~~
However—
20 seconds passed, and under the viewers’ incredulous gazes, the Youlan Academy members hadn’t summoned a single pet beast!!!
“Wait, what’s Youlan Academy doing? Are they messing around again!?”
“Is their equipment malfunctioning? I thought their battle devices were outdated. Can they even function properly?”
“Lian Xing, what are you waiting for? My Lian Xing baby, move! I can’t take it anymore??!!!”
“I get it! Strongest Moonlight Rabbit wants her entire team to experience Personally Entering the Battle! They want to fight eight pet beasts with their own bodies, a true human-pet feast of…pleasure…???”
“I see, I tried it today. I have to say, the despair of having your hands bound and being unable to even log out…it’s truly exquisite. It seems this stocking girl really knows how to play~~~~”
“What are you thinking? This is an official match. Doing that will get them banned, right???”
Seeing the Youlan Academy members’ confusing behavior, the chat erupted in discussions and fantasies.
However, watching the livestream, Xiao Kui felt a growing sense of unease. She glanced at her captain, Aurora, who was muttering to herself, and noticed that she also had a worried frown.
Anxiety and apprehension filled their hearts…
At this moment, Chi Yan, standing behind Lian Xing, couldn’t hold back any longer, asking, “Lian Xing, are you sure about this?”
“Are you planning to fight 1v5?”
“Shouldn’t we play it safe?”
“1v5?” Hearing Chi Yan’s nervous question, Lian Xing chuckled.
On this tiny map, where even Mid-Tier pet beasts felt cramped, was there any difference between a 1v5 and a 1v500? Unnecessary deployments would only hinder movement and dodging. It was better to give herself some space~~~
After all, the moment the mode was randomized to Unlimited, this battle was already over, regardless of the map size.
“Just protect yourselves…”
“I’ll handle this one~~~” Lian Xing wasn’t trying to hog the spotlight. She simply didn’t want to unnecessarily kill her teammates’ pet beasts. Even in a virtual battle, killing each other would damage their synergy and trust.
So…
This was fine~~~
As the White Maple Academy team had thought, the number of pet beasts didn’t always determine the outcome!
With five seconds left on the countdown, following the girl’s casual words, the Moonlight Rabbit, wearing its white fur cloak, jumped down from her head.
Moonlight Rabbit, High-Tier evolution—
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
A scorching white sea of clouds erupted, sweeping across the arena. At this moment, all the viewers held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.
As the captain of Youlan Academy’s first team, Lian Xing’s choice of pet beast would instantly determine the outcome of this battle.
A few seconds later, under everyone’s watchful gaze…
A pure white rabbit with a bizarre form emerged from the dreamlike sea of clouds. It exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, its snow-white robe billowing in the wind, its two jade-green ears with spiral bands creating a visually stunning spectacle.
The moment this pet beast appeared, the livestream chat exploded.
This was…
“Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer! It’s the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer! How is that possible!!?!”
“Isn’t that Super Golden Wheel’s pet beast? How does Lian Xing know its evolution path!!!”
“Speaking of which, could Strongest Moonlight Rabbit actually be Super Golden Wheel? I…used…Super Golden Wheel’s pre-censored battle recording thirteen times yesterday, and their figures do look similar. And they both have golden hair…”
“Damn, you haven’t dehydrated yet?”
“Beautiful, please share the resources!!!”
“Heh, recordings are nothing. I personally go to the public bathhouse to observe Lian Xing every time she’s there~~~”
“Hasn’t the topic gone off track? Is Lian Xing actually Super Golden Wheel or not?”
“Definitely not. Are you blind? Strongest Moonlight Rabbit is clearly much stronger than Super Golden Wheel. Can’t you see the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s aura!? The three High-Tier pet beasts on the other side are terrified!!”
At this moment, as the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer made its grand entrance, the expressions of all the White Maple Academy team members turned grim. Xiao Kui’s guess was right. Strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s Moonlight Rabbit had already evolved to High-Tier!!
Every movement of the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer released scorching steam. This terrifying aura felt like it could blow them all away. Even the White Maple Academy vice-captain’s expression darkened as she observed the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s movements, no longer daring to be careless or dismissive.
Only now did she realize that her decision yesterday had been a grave mistake!!!
This might be an unprecedentedly difficult battle…
Could it be…that their White Maple Academy second team would be eliminated here?
However…
This was the punishment for ignorance and arrogance.
This level of pressure was just the beginning!!!
“Boom!!!!”
Without warning, in the last second before the countdown ended—
A deafening roar shook the arena as a crimson light descended from the sky, creating a massive crater in the ground. As the light and dust settled, everyone’s hearts pounded uncontrollably.
Just like in the exhibition match.
It was two dazzlingly beautiful Golden Wheels, bathed in a halo of light!
High-Tier — Weapon Species, Red Prison Palace Master!!!
The inner ring consisted of dozens of layers of spiral blades, while the outer ring was a dreamlike red blade aura. In the next second, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer skillfully curled its ears, equipping the two heavy, scorching Golden Wheels.
A main battle pet beast with a highly compatible Weapon Species…it was like a boxer putting on their gloves.
At that moment, its weaknesses as a throwing-type pet beast seemed to vanish completely. Its aura and presence were almost perfect, even its lack of close-combat and defensive abilities no longer a concern.
Yes, Lian Xing was done holding back~~~
But so what?
Was there…
Anyone in the entire Academy League who could defeat her?
Even the Ten Greats, the pinnacle of the Academy League, the unattainable idols of all students…what could they do?
At this moment, Lian Xing’s strongest lineup was finally revealed to the world!!
Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer + Red Prison Palace Master, explosive debut!!!
