Chapter 75: The Fourth of the Ten Greats, Moon Rabbit · Lian Xing!!!!
“Bang!!!”
A disturbing sound echoed through the room as the bumps at the base of the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s ears burst, spraying pus and blood everywhere. Lian Xing, standing nearby, was also splattered, her once shiny, golden hair now matted and wet.
Fortunately, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s bodily fluids were pure white, so it wasn’t visually disgusting and didn’t have any foul odor. Lian Xing, naturally, didn’t care about such trivial matters. Her starry eyes were fixed on the base of the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s ears.
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh—”
A few seconds later, three strange, soft, white appendages grew from the ruptured wounds on the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s ears. Six new ear-like limbs, dripping with viscous fluid, dangled from the edges of the spiral bands, swaying eerily.
However, calling them “ears” wasn’t quite accurate. They were more like articulated joints of various shapes.
Two rabbit paws with three claws each.
Two banana fan-shaped ears.
Two spiked, mace-like ears.
Combined with its original two spiral-banded ears with spring-loaded firing pins, and the white fur cloak on its back, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer now had nine throwing appendages!!
The bloodline combat skill — Six Ears!!!
When a throwing-type pet beast learned this bloodline combat skill, its throwing technique would temporarily regress. After all, mastering multiple throwing styles simultaneously would inevitably disrupt its existing muscle memory and coordination.
However…
Once the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer fully mastered these new throwing techniques, its combat power and level would skyrocket, achieving an unimaginable breakthrough. Because, unlike its fixed characteristics, the new appendages created by Six Ears could be customized with the characteristics of other throwing-type pet beasts!!!
This meant it could inherit up to six throwing characteristics simultaneously!!!
Right now, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer was only mimicking the throwing styles of other Commander-Tier and High-Tier pet beasts.
But if it witnessed the throwing techniques of even higher-tier beings…the results would be terrifying…
This was one of the 13 bloodline combat skills, on par with Eclipse, which could devour the entire world with a single bite; Full Moon, which granted a second awakening; and Moon Chase, which allowed instant teleportation to any location in the world.
The absolute core ability of throwing-type pet beasts — Six Ears!!
As for why the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer had unlocked it so quickly…
That was because the difficulty of bloodline combat skills lay in obtaining the information, not in the requirements themselves. And there were no strict tier restrictions.
Lian Xing was simply replicating her path from her previous life.
Copy and paste, that was all~~~~
At this moment, looking at the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s new form, Lian Xing crossed her arms, her starry eyes thoughtful.
“However, Six Ears’ initial strength should be relatively low. Overall, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer is actually weaker than before.”
“To quickly improve it, I need to find a Rare Species whose initial form is already a throwing type and temporarily inherit its diverse throwing techniques.”
“The Ghostly Orchid, the Snow Punishment…the Iron Washer…those should be useful. I wonder if the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association has any…”
“Thud!”
As Lian Xing was pondering, the door to her room suddenly opened. Tao Wan, Chi Yan, and the other two Youlan Academy team members froze, their eyes widening in shock as they saw the golden-haired girl covered in white fluid.
They looked at the splattered walls, the ceiling…even the white blood on the floor, their expressions incredulous.
How did this happen?
What kind of activities had Captain Lian Xing been engaging in…?
Yu Bo, the mermaid hybrid, stared at the stains on Lian Xing’s body, her face flushing slightly as she muttered, “So…you like it messy…”
“…”
“…”
Lian Xing: “?”
Time flew by, and a day passed.
One hour remained before the start of the league preliminaries.
In the exclusive front-row spectator area for the Ten Greats academies, Lian Xing finally received the information from the Baiyue Province Beast Tamer Association Headquarters. Although the little fox hadn’t fulfilled all her requests yet, she was at least trying. So, she would graciously help them~~~
Thinking of this, Lian Xing casually checked the information on her phone.
[Royal-Tier — Elemental Species (Mutated) — Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King]
[Talent: Unknown]
[Combat Skill: At least two Dark Gold Quality, specifics unknown]
[Type: Full Spirit build, balanced offense and defense, no obvious weaknesses]
[When that Biological Ancient Species landed, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King had just left the edge of Dark Abyss Sea, narrowly escaping death. However, its life crystal was still shattered by the residual aura, leaving it in a critical condition, danger level: 3 stars]
After skimming through the information, Lian Xing’s eyes narrowed.
Three stars?
If she wasn’t mistaken, three stars was a relatively high rating for a Royal-Tier pet beast, right?
So, this was beyond the capabilities of Baiyue Province, a 10th-level region…
A mutated Royal-Tier Elemental Species, even in a critical condition, was incredibly dangerous!!!
She sent a message to the fox, questioning her.
Lian Xing: “Three-star rating? Are you sure you can handle it after I lure it here!?”
A few seconds later, the fox replied.
Little Newborn (Note): “Don’t forget, Baoyu Shuitianliang is here. A three-star rating is nothing to her~~~”
Lian Xing: “So, she can deal with a mutated Royal-Tier?”
Little Newborn (Note): “Uh…it seems you’re not omniscient after all. Don’t you know the level of a guardian from an 8th-level region?”
Lian Xing: “I honestly don’t know. But if you show any signs of losing, I’ll run away immediately~~~”
Lian Xing: “One last question. Are you sure it’s in a critical condition?”
Little Newborn (Note): “Of course. It was hit by the residual aura of an Ancient Species. Fragments of its life crystal were scattered all over Baiyue Province. That’s how we identified its species.”
Little Newborn (Note): “Even for an Elemental Species, which has the fastest recovery rate, if its life crystal is shattered, what kind of combat power could it possibly have…?”
Lian Xing: “Alright, if you say so, then I’m relieved. Don’t blame me if the entire Beast Tamer Association Headquarters gets wiped out.”
Little Newborn (Note): “Uh…”
After sending the message, Lian Xing put away her phone. She was just making sure, after all. A wild pet beast, with its life crystal shattered…there was no way for it to recover. And as a member of the Cycle of Calamity, which believed in destruction and chaos, it wouldn’t form a contract with a Beast Tamer.
Moreover, a guardian from an 8th-level region was here…
There shouldn’t be anything to worry about, right!?
Meanwhile, as Lian Xing waited in the spectator area, millions of viewers and fans had gathered at the league venue, filling every corner. Colorful spotlights shone on the various team sections, especially the area for the Ten Greats academies.
Standing in the center of the giant stage, a provocatively dressed woman in a black, high-slit gown held a microphone, speaking.
“Hello everyone, both the audience here and the fans watching the livestream. I’m Mochi, the former captain of Dizang Academy, the seventh-ranked Ten Greats from the previous league. You haven’t forgotten me, have you~~~?”
“…”
“…”
As the woman in black finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience. Mochi, the former seventh-ranked Ten Greats, had been quite popular, but after graduating, she had endorsed several questionable products and even been involved in a scandal involving fans, even personally arguing with them online, quickly ruining her carefully crafted image.
She wondered why the Beast Tamer Association had chosen her to host the preliminaries.
“Mm, mm, such a warm welcome. It seems you haven’t forgotten my performance in the previous league~~~” Mochi continued shamelessly, ignoring the increasingly loud boos.
However, after receiving a warning from the organizers through her earpiece, she quickly stopped interacting with the audience and changed the topic.
“Alright, alright, enough chit-chat. Let’s see the promising participants in this year’s league…”
“…”
“…”
“The leader of the Ten Greats, the champion of Baiyue Province, Phantom Sea Academy, Tian Quan!!!”
As Mochi announced, a high-definition, unedited photo of Tian Quan appeared on the giant screen. This was the annual Ten Greats showcase, their moment of glory.
Chilinhou of Youhe Academy had also prepared a high-definition photo, but unfortunately she had been dethroned during the challenge round…
Seeing Tian Quan’s beautiful, carefully edited photo, the audience erupted in cheers, the deafening roar almost lifting the roof off the venue.
After Tian Quan, there was a significant drop in follower count and support among the star players.
Second place, Yaoxian of Yinji Academy, a petite girl with green hair and a jade hairpin, her follower count: 19 million.
Third place, Silver Dragon of Wind God Academy, a graceful girl wearing a white, featureless mask, her beauty only evident from her slender legs, her follower count: 19 million.
Fourth place, skipped.
Fifth place, Xinghong of Lingkong Academy, a girl with long, purple hair and a revealing transparent veil, her follower count: 14 million.
Sixth place, Lei Ji of Xiyu Academy, a tall girl with golden twintails, her body crackling with electricity, her follower count: 14 million.
Seventh place, skipped.
While skipping the seventh place, Mochi, the host, deliberately “showed off”, earning another round of boos.
In fact, after graduating and leaving the academy, most star players were quickly forgotten, their endorsement deals dwindling. In the end, they were no different from ordinary students, becoming housewives or selling themselves, forever stuck at the peak of Commander-Tier, unable to progress further.
Mochi, at least, had managed to become the host of this year’s league thanks to her infamy, earning a hefty sum.
…
…
Eighth place, Heavenly Tomb of Iron Hostel Academy, an elegant, black-haired beauty with a classic aura, her follower count: 11 million.
Ninth place, Aurora of White Maple Academy, a girl with chestnut brown braids, glasses, and a rustic aura, her follower count: 8 million.
Tenth place, Purgatory of Volcano Academy, a girl with long, red hair in a red robe, her follower count: 6 million.
By the time they reached Purgatory, the cheers from her meager fan base were barely audible. This was a common occurrence every year, and everyone was used to it.
Phantom Sea Academy’s popularity was unmatched. The other Ten Greats were just side characters.
In terms of beauty…they couldn’t compete.
And in terms of other abilities…humans couldn’t compete with hybrids.
It was a pity that mermaid hybrids were generally self-respecting. If they were willing to sell themselves, the market would have crashed long ago.
As Purgatory’s high-definition photo disappeared from the screen, everyone thought the Ten Greats showcase was over.
However…
In the next second, a golden-haired girl with buns appeared on the screen. Iconic buns, lewd starry eyes, tight, translucent stockings, her soft, smooth skin as white as milk.
For some reason, her every movement exuded an indescribable allure, making one want to see her broken and begging for mercy.
Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, Lian Xing!!!
Mochi, the host, glanced at the information backstage. Seeing Lian Xing’s newly acquired follower count, her expression twisted unnaturally.
After a few seconds, she recovered and said, her voice slightly hoarse, “Hmm, a new face. But I’m sure those who watched yesterday’s livestream understand, right?”
“The captain of Youlan Academy, the new fourth-ranked Ten Greats, follower count: 11 million~~~”
“Moon Rabbit · Lian Xing!!!”
