Chapter 71: Moonlight Rabbit’s Devastating Attack, Shocking the Entire League!!!
Beast Tamer Association Headquarters, Executive Conference Room.
The golden fox, dressed in a revealing maid outfit, watched the golden-haired girl with buns through the surveillance cameras. She wasn’t watching the public livestream but the official internal feed, which was much clearer.
“Strange…”
“Tian Quan actually refused the challenge!?”
“What’s going on…?” She had immediately recognized this troublemaker as Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, the one who had challenged her in the Royal-Tier instance.
But a mere High-Tier Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer…how could it possibly make Tian Quan back down!?
Unlike the ignorant villagers of this 10th-level region, as the current guardian of Baiyue Province, she naturally knew that the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer wasn’t a particularly impressive evolution path. It was just one of the common rare evolutions of the Giant Moonlight Rabbit.
How could an evolution of this level intimidate Tian Quan!?
She wondered if Shuitianliang, who was observing the situation from close range, had noticed anything unusual about Strongest Moonlight Rabbit…
…
…
The answer was no.
Looking at the two teams entering the preparation rooms, Baoyu Shuitianliang blinked, confused. Having reached Royal-Tier at such a young age, she couldn’t understand what these new generation kids were up to. Could a throwing-type build actually be viable in this meta?
After all, she had never heard of any top-tier expert specializing in throwing attacks…
She naturally looked down on it, considering it a dead-end evolution path.
At most, it was just child’s play…
As Shuitianliang pondered, the 30-minute break ended.
[Battle begin, please log in to your devices]
[Challenger’s chosen mode: Team Melee (Single Pet)]
[Randomizing map…]
[Map selected: Cherry Blossom Lakeside]
“…”
“…”
“What? She didn’t choose Instance Speedrun!?”
“And…it’s single pet deployment!!!” The moment the battle information appeared on the livestream screen, the members of Starlight Academy, White Maple Academy, Iron Hostel Academy, and even Cangying Academy, who had been eliminated in the second round of qualifiers, were stunned.
The four academies had carefully analyzed all of Lian Xing’s battle recordings, identifying the major weakness of Strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s lineup. If their analysis was correct, Strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s ideal scenario would be Instance Speedrun in Unlimited mode!!
Utilizing the powerful offensive and defensive capabilities of the two Golden Wheels, and the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s throwing power, to achieve victory!!!
As the challenger, Youlan Academy could choose the mode. This must have been the reason Lian Xing dared to challenge Chilinhou, the fourth-ranked Ten Greats.
However…
In single pet melee, the opponents wouldn’t be as predictable as instance bosses, and the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer couldn’t stack its power by killing minions!!
If it encountered a Commander-Tier pet beast like Chilinhou in a direct confrontation, it might be instantly killed!!!
“Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, don’t screw this up…”
“If you lose so easily, our Cangying Academy will become a laughingstock…” the Cangying Academy captain, the girl with pink hair, muttered, shaking her head helplessly.
She didn’t expect Lian Xing to actually defeat Chilinhou, but at least lose with some dignity, right?
Don’t bite off more than you can chew…
[Youhe Academy VS Youlan Academy]
[Pet beast lineups hidden]
[Loading map…]
“Whoosh!!!!!”
A flash of white light.
The ten players lying on their battle devices logged into the virtual battle, their sleeping faces no longer displayed on screen.
After about ten seconds, Lian Xing opened her eyes, and a beautiful lakeside landscape, filled with cherry blossom trees, appeared before her. But there were no teammates around.
Like the exhibition match against Qingliu Academy, Cherry Blossom Lakeside, like Gentle Breeze Island, was a large map, so the spawn points were randomized.
“Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer…” Following Lian Xing’s soft command, a pure white rabbit emerged from the void behind her, gently lifting the golden-haired girl into its arms with its small paws. They began walking slowly along the lakeshore.
At this moment, seeing the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, many viewers rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
“Wait, what’s going on? Isn’t that the trending Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer? Could the Dean of Youlan Academy actually be Super Golden Wheel!?”
“Holy shit, that’s why she challenged Phantom Sea Academy! She actually has some skills!!!”
“Not necessarily, beauties. Check Youlan Academy’s previous battle recordings. Her Golden Wheel isn’t the same~~~”
“I knew it! I was already suspicious when I saw her legs. So it really is her…?”
“She looks so pure and innocent…heh…turns out she’s a fan of exhibitionism~~~~”
“Wait, how can you tell just by looking at her legs? You guys are too experienced!!!”
“To be honest, even if she’s really Super Golden Wheel, does anyone seriously think Heavenly Tomb and Chilinhou are on the same level?”
As the livestream viewers discussed heatedly, Lian Xing’s identity was quickly revealed. After all, her previous livestreams had been small-scale, with at most a few hundred thousand young viewers.
But this time was different.
Appearing before billions of viewers, the audience wasn’t just inexperienced students anymore.
Many experienced women in their twenties and thirties instantly recognized Lian Xing’s legs as belonging to Super Golden Wheel!!!
But…
Even if Lian Xing could defeat Heavenly Tomb, one of the Ten Greats, Chilinhou of Youhe Academy was a top four player from the previous league, also specializing in a throwing-type lineup, a complete upgrade!!!
Surely, no one seriously believed that Chilinhou would lose, right!?
The livestream chat was filled with arguments and speculations.
Meanwhile, as they patrolled aimlessly for three minutes, Lian Xing and the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer finally encountered someone. It was a black-haired girl in a Youhe Academy uniform, a black cube spinning in her hand. She had clearly come prepared, having already located Lian Xing’s coordinates.
“…”
“…”
“Captain Lian Xing, be careful! You’ve encountered Youhe Academy’s vice-captain!”
“Her Viral Species, [Black Domain], can restrict movement! Don’t just stand there!!!” Dozens of kilometers away, the girl with the VR headset, operating her Mechanical Species radar pet beast from a cherry blossom tree, finally proved useful.
After pinpointing the enemy’s location, she immediately alerted her team through voice chat. If she had harbored any ill intentions before, after witnessing this grand stage, she was now filled with gratitude towards Lian Xing.
However…
Lian Xing completely ignored her teammate’s warning, simply observing her opponent with a smile, her starry eyes twinkling with amusement.
A few seconds later, under the black-haired girl’s cold gaze, the black cube expanded, transforming into countless black, ethereal particles that surrounded the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer.
“Whoosh—”
A dense, dark energy field formed, slowing down the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s movements, making it difficult to even raise its ears.
It’s over…
Seeing this, the Cangying Academy captain, her face pale, covered her forehead with her hand, as if she had lost all hope, slumping onto her battle device in the Cangying Academy team room, her eyes empty.
She still couldn’t understand how she had lost to Strongest Moonlight Rabbit.
Had this girl not even bothered researching her opponent’s lineup!?
As a throwing-type pet beast, once its movements were restricted, how could it possibly fight!!?
As expected, trapped within the black field, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer clawed at the air, unable to touch anything or even grab the sand on the ground, quickly falling into a desperate situation.
“Mission accomplished. It’s over, Captain…” the black-haired girl said coldly.
Hundreds of kilometers away, at the other end of the map, the alluring girl with the black scorpion braid, Chilinhou, stood up from the cherry blossom lawn, stretching lazily. In the next second, a giant, crimson scorpion emerged from behind her, its massive body casting a shadow over the livestream camera. Cracks on its exoskeleton revealed glowing, molten lava patterns.
Commander-Tier — Biological Species — Blazing Earth Crimson Poison!!!
“3241:1213”
“9613:5231”
“7834:6244”
“1141:9452”
Following the coordinates reported by another support teammate through voice chat, Chilinhou instantly knew the locations of all the Youlan Academy members except Lian Xing. Under everyone’s gaze, she casually snapped her fingers. Receiving the command, the Blazing Earth Crimson Poison pierced a boulder with its barbed tail, attaching it to the tip of its tail like a boxing glove. Then, the giant scorpion began spinning its tail, swinging it through the air like a meteor hammer.
“Whoosh!!!!!”
In an instant, the boulder exploded.
Propelled by the scorpion’s tail, the boulder, trailing a crimson tail of fire, shot into the sky, reaching the invisible wall at the top of the map.
And then—
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
With a sound like fireworks exploding, the ten-meter wide boulder shattered into countless crimson dust particles, raining down on the Cherry Blossom Lakeside map. These crimson scales fell like rain, unavoidable, targeting four specific locations.
Chi Yan and her Fire Armament, flying at high speed, didn’t even know what had happened, instantly melting under the rain of crimson scales. At the same time, the girl with the VR headset hiding in a cherry blossom tree, Yu Bo submerged in the lake, and Tao Wan, strolling leisurely, oblivious to the incoming attack.
The four Youlan Academy members, in an instant, were liquefied.
Even the hundred-meter area around them dissolved under the crimson scales, leaving behind a cratered wasteland.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the livestream chat exploded.
“Amazing! This is the power of a throwing-type build! With the support teammate’s coordinates, the opponents didn’t even see the attack coming!!!!”
“Is Youlan Academy here to be a joke? Didn’t they even bother researching their opponent’s lineup before challenging them? How dare they play Team Melee against Chilinhou???”
“You guys don’t understand. Youlan Academy already booked their flights home tonight. They’re in a hurry~~~”
“But isn’t the Youlan Academy captain even more hilarious? She doesn’t even know the Youhe Academy vice-captain’s ability and is still standing there confidently~~~”
Seeing the overwhelmingly mocking comments, the Phantom Sea Academy members’ faces darkened. No one had expected Youlan Academy to be so weak, so easily crushed!!
This made their Phantom Sea Academy look like a joke…
How embarrassing!!!
However, amidst the anger and disbelief…
Captain Tian Quan remained silent, watching the battle with a calm expression, as if she had a different perspective on this seemingly predetermined outcome.
After all, her master had only warned her about the golden-haired girl with buns.
The weakness of the other team members had nothing to do with her, right?
But there was one more thing that bothered Tian Quan…
She seemed to have met that Yu Bo from Youlan Academy somewhere before…but the memory was too distant, and she couldn’t recall…
Well, as a mermaid hybrid, it was normal to have met other mermaids within the family.
“…”
“…”
“Wuwuwu, Lian Xing, my Lian Xing…please do something!!!” Meanwhile, the Dean of Youlan Academy was crying, seeing the gruesome scene.
Although Lian Xing was strong, always carrying the team.
But facing this hopeless situation, with all her teammates defeated and her only remaining pet beast’s movements restricted…how could she possibly turn the tide?
At this moment, no Youlan Academy student still believed in victory.
They only hoped that Lian Xing wouldn’t lose too badly…
This performance art was even more embarrassing than being 3-1’d by an ordinary White Maple Academy member last year!!!
“Are you sure about this?”
“Is this the outcome you desire?”
“I’m curious…what kind of person are you truly?” the Youhe Academy vice-captain asked, looking at the golden-haired girl trapped in the black barrier.
Normally, seeing the death notifications of four teammates, even someone as arrogant as her should realize the consequences of Youlan Academy becoming a laughingstock and being ridiculed by billions of people, right?
To remain so calm in the face of such a situation…she had to admire this golden-haired girl.
“Want to see…the real me?” Lian Xing asked with a smile, meeting the black-haired girl’s gaze.
Her starry eyes still held that same joyful look, no hint of panic.
At this moment, several figures appeared in the distance. It seemed the other Youhe Academy members were also heading towards them.
Strong teams had their own rules and standards. No matter how weak their opponents were, they wouldn’t hold back, and they wouldn’t unnecessarily kill their own teammates in a guaranteed victory, damaging their trust and synergy.
So, even though Lian Xing was already trapped, Chilinhou, one of the Ten Greats, wouldn’t use a long-range attack that might affect the vice-captain’s Black Domain.
She would personally execute Lian Xing.
However…
Before Captain Chilinhou arrived, seeing the careless positioning of the other four members, Lian Xing could no longer suppress her killing intent.
Standing so close together…how could she possibly resist…
It was like playing an FPS game and seeing four enemies with their backs turned. How could she possibly wait for the fifth?
“Alright, then…let you witness…”
“The real me” Lian Xing said softly.
In the next second, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, trapped within the Black Domain, slowly swung its ears, making a seemingly harmless gesture.
At that moment, silence fell.
Time seemed to freeze, all sound ceasing.
The expressions of the four Youhe Academy members froze.
Seeing this, Shuitianliang, the host, narrowed her eyes. Tian Quan of Phantom Sea Academy even stood up from her seat, staring at the eerily frozen scene on the screen.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In the next second, a deafening, earth-shattering roar echoed as a reverse wind swept through the area, covering a radius of dozens of kilometers.
Under the horrified gazes of countless viewers, the four Youhe Academy members, their virtual characters and pet beasts, were instantly engulfed by the wind, vanishing without a trace.
In an instant, a third of the Cherry Blossom Lakeside map, a vast area, was flattened.
This was…
The Dark Gold combat skill, Raging Wind!!!
