Chapter 96: Little Moonwalker’s Power, The Apex of Legends!!
Under everyone’s gaze, as the other trial participants entered the teleportation array, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, dressed in her bizarre kangaroo onesie, was fumbling with something. Unlike contracted pet beasts, which were obedient and well-behaved, the wild Little Moonwalker was constantly moving inside the pouch. Lian Xing had to use all her strength to leash it.
This way, Little Moonwalker could participate in the battle in place of her pet beasts…
Normally, the birth of a Legend was a grand event.
But Lian Xing felt that simply participating in a virtual battle shouldn’t be a problem.
Moreover, this was a Moonwalker~~~
Moonwalkers, whose appearance and classification didn’t match, were known for causing confusion in the past. Even Emperors couldn’t always identify their true species.
“Whoosh——!!!”
As Lian Xing entered the teleportation array, a lush, green lakeside forest appeared before her, the air filled with shimmering, green dust. As the last participant to enter, the battle began the moment she opened her eyes.
[Mode: 100-Pet Battle Royale (Single Pet Deployment)]
[Map: Jade Stream Spring]
[Victory Condition: The top five survivors qualify.]
Jade Stream Spring, one of the four famous scenic spots in the 6th-level region, Bimen Pass, also the birthplace of the Great Lord Biluo.
A few seconds after the battle began, Lian Xing immediately realized that this map was a virtual recreation. There were no signs of previous battles.
And the officials wouldn’t let them destroy a real tourist attraction.
This meant that their physical bodies weren’t actually here. Their vision had been replaced , like wearing an old-fashioned VR headset.
However, the pet beasts accompanying the trial participants were…real…
“Clatter!”
As Lian Xing was studying this new battle format, a figure suddenly appeared from the nearby forest. The girl in the red cheongsam from Chijin Province, riding a giant wolf with a glowing crimson body, emerged from the bushes. However, the moment she saw the golden-haired girl in the distance, her expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with fear, and she immediately ordered the Red Moon Claw to flee.
And it wasn’t just a normal retreat, she even used a Gold Quality combat skill, as if she were afraid of being instantly killed by the conch-destroying Lian Xing.
After all, the goal of this competition was to survive until the top five, not to kill the most opponents. As long as they could survive, anything was acceptable.
“Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!!!”
Meanwhile, Little Moonwalker, seeing the opponent fleeing from its invincible power, jumped out of the pouch and chased after it, barking fiercely.
Hearing this terrifying bark, the Red Moon Claw in the distance ran even faster.
Seeing this scene, many of the Qingyao Sea viewers were confused.
What were these villagers from the smaller regions doing?
Running away without even fighting?
Was this golden-haired girl with starry eyes that famous…in the lower-level regions?
Of course, only a small number of viewers, less than a million, were watching Lian Xing’s perspective. It wasn’t enough to make a splash…
At this moment, over 10 billion viewers were focused on Molan, the champion of Qingyao Sea. Under everyone’s gaze, the cold, black-haired girl with curly hair walked confidently along the lakeshore. Like Lian Xing, several trial participants had fled the moment they encountered her.
But Molan didn’t chase after them, nor did she summon her pet beast. After wandering for a few minutes, she reached a spacious clearing.
“Let’s set up here. Death Cube!!!”
“Boom!!!!”
As she finished speaking, a black torrent erupted. The small, black, mechanical turtle on her head rapidly expanded, its body covered in metal plating, transforming into a giant, black cube fortress within seconds.
Commander-Tier — Mechanical Species — Death Cube!!
A few seconds after evolving, the Death Cube’s hard outer shell retracted, revealing countless weapons: rocket launchers, missile launchers, sniper rifles, laser cannons…
“Whirr——!!!!!”
In the next second, under the excited gazes of countless fans…
As the Death Cube rotated, thousands of weapons charged with black, destructive energy.
Then, with a “clatter,” black beams of death swept across the battlefield, spinning and firing in all directions.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
The world before them exploded.
Countless black beams sliced through the air, as if dividing the space into thousands of fragments. The black energy surged, obliterating the terrain for miles around, leaving no cover.
Remaining participants: 79.
“…”
“…”
“Over 20 people eliminated in one attack! Amazing!!!”
“Miss Molan, worthy of being this year’s champion!!!”
“Haha, you villagers from the smaller regions, see the difference in strength now? Just give up!!!”
“To be honest, even the strongest Commander-Tier Beast Tamer in Bimen Pass might not be a match for Miss Molan, right?”
“This is the strongest Beast Tamer in Qingyao Sea!!!!!” Unlike the silent and tense atmosphere in the venue, the livestream chat exploded with excitement.
Admittedly, Molan was indeed a top-tier Mechanical Species Beast Tamer, a level rarely seen in Baiyue Province.
Mechanical Species, due to their lack of emotions, were a relatively unpopular category.
But even Tian Quan was startled by the Death Cube’s power. She had never seen such a powerful Mechanical Species pet beast in Baiyue Province.
None of the Ten Greats specialized in Mechanical Species.
At this moment, Tian Quan’s expression was just slightly surprised, but the other trial participants from the 9th-level regions were devastated. Seeing their grim and apprehensive faces, the viewers in the Qingyao Sea official livestream felt a surge of superiority.
In their minds, Molan couldn’t possibly lose.
Meanwhile, after a moment of hesitation, Tian Quan didn’t challenge Molan, instead retreating towards the opposite edge of the map. A faint, watery glow shimmered around her body.
Commander-Tier — Elemental Species — Sea-Dried Bright Moon!!!
In this match, Tian Quan hadn’t chosen the offensive Bing Zhuyu, but the defensive Sea-Dried Bright Moon.
This meant that she had completely given up on fighting, planning to survive until the end through defense and evasion.
And it was all because of Lian Xing…
Although she hadn’t seen the evolved Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, Tian Quan knew that with Bing Zhuyu’s current strength, it couldn’t possibly withstand that Commander-Tier Moonlight Rabbit!!!
It might not even be able to block the aftershock…
Meanwhile, at the other end of the Jade Stream Spring map…
“Boom!!!!!”
A giant, silver wing emerged from the void, slashing through the sky, sending a pink paper crane flying for hundreds of meters, crashing at the feet of a girl with pink, mushroom-shaped hair.
Then, a silver-haired girl with a white, featureless mask, a majestic aura surrounding her, stepped out of the Viral Species’s void. Seeing Silver Dragon and the Silver Wing Dimension behind her, the girl with pink, mushroom-shaped hair’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, you also specialize in Viral Species?”
“I know you, Silver Dragon of Baiyue Province. I heard you scored 82 points on the mechanical conch, just one point lower than me. What a coincidence~~~”
Ignoring the smiling, pink-haired girl, Silver Dragon ordered the Silver Wing Dimension to attack again. Invisible ripples appeared in the air, and the pink-haired girl was about to be bisected.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
“Bang!!!”
In the next second, a shield, formed from countless paper cranes, suddenly appeared beside the pink-haired girl. With a deafening roar, the two forces collided, dust filling the air, but both were unharmed.
Commander-Tier — Viral Species — Dream Paper Crane!!
Countless pink paper cranes swirled around the girl with mushroom-shaped hair, forming a tornado-like shield.
At this moment, over 1.5 billion viewers were watching this battle.
Because Silver Dragon’s opponent was… He Wang, the second-ranked participant from Qingyao Sea.
“Whoosh!”
However, at that moment…
As if sensing something, Silver Dragon didn’t engage, instead ordering the Silver Wing Dimension to take her into the void. Seeing the silver-haired girl suddenly disappear, He Wang, the pink-haired girl, was stunned, then sneered.
“The maximum duration of a Viral Species’s shared travel, in its incorporeal form is equal to the Beast Tamer’s breath-holding limit. As a fellow Viral Species specialist, you don’t think this trick will work, do you?”
“The moment you’re forced to reappear, you’ll be vulnerable!!”
“Oh, I forgot, you’re from a 10th-level region. You’re probably ignorant about these things~~~” The pink-haired girl continued to taunt.
But by the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.
…
…
Meanwhile, after obliterating half the map with a single barrage from the Death Cube, Molan didn’t stop there. She activated a Dark Gold Quality combat skill.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——”
In the next second, countless lines of code appeared on the Death Cube’s surface, the electronic outlines of the trial participants appearing one after another. The Death Cube was scanning the entire area, searching for a target.
After about 30 seconds, it locked onto a golden-haired girl with buns.
Objectively speaking, if Molan wanted to qualify smoothly, the best strategy was to avoid Lian Xing. After all, Lian Xing, like those monsters from Bimen Pass, had destroyed the Great Lord Biluo’s creation.
But…
As the champion of Qingyao Sea, how could Molan tolerate the humiliation of losing to a trial participant from a 10th-level region?
So, no matter the outcome, she had to test Lian Xing’s strength here!!!
At least…see what her pet beast looked like!!!
However…
The moment she locked onto Lian Xing’s perspective and saw her location, her expression turned to surprise. Because the pet beast Lian Xing had summoned wasn’t as intimidating as she had imagined. It wasn’t some three-headed, six-armed monster, but just a small fawn that looked like it hadn’t even been weaned…
Little Moonwalker was happily running around the lake.
And the golden-haired girl in the kangaroo onesie was chasing after it.
“Stop! Stop running around!!”
“If Mommy catches you, I’ll break your legs!!!”
“Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!!!” Little Moonwalker seemed to enjoy playing hide-and-seek, teasing Lian Xing for a while before finally surrendering, lying in the girl’s arms and babbling excitedly.
Lian Xing, panting and sweating, lightly slapped Little Moonwalker a few times, then put it back on the ground.
Honestly, it wasn’t that Lian Xing enjoyed playing around.
If the Heaven-Gracing Curtain were deployed, this battle wouldn’t even be a challenge.
But in reality, having Little Moonwalker fight was also a guaranteed victory.
Because, unlike the support-type Star Sand, Moonwalkers were at the apex of the 72 Legends, Legends among Legends, supreme beings, a true combat species!!
They were born for battle and destruction, even abandoning their ability to fully elementalize, their appearance resembling a Biological Species.
In a 1v1 duel, Star Sand couldn’t defeat a true Royal-Tier pet beast.
But a Moonwalker definitely could…!!!
So, Lian Xing was eager to witness Moonwalker’s true power.
This was a species that had never appeared in Pet Beast Evolution Battle, only mentioned briefly in the game’s lore.
“Buzz—”
In the next second, a red dot flashed, and Lian Xing felt a one-way radar lock, as if someone had targeted her with a combat skill. Lian Xing looked up, towards Molan’s direction. Meanwhile, over 20 kilometers away, the Death Cube’s weapons began to glow with a black light, automatically aiming towards the locked target.
Inside the cube, Molan’s heart pounded.
Just how powerful was the person who could destroy the mechanical conch…? The answer would be revealed in a few seconds!!!
At this moment, sensing that she had been targeted by a powerful, wide-range attack, Lian Xing remained calm and indifferent, even using the wild Little Moonwalker as a shield…
After all, victory or defeat in this mode depended on the pet beast. She wouldn’t be harmed, whether she was hit or not.
But if the wild Little Moonwalker died, it would be gone forever…
Little brat, it’s a life-or-death situation. Time to get serious, right?
Of course, Lian Xing wouldn’t actually let Little Moonwalker die. Even if Little Moonwalker didn’t care, she wouldn’t gamble on its survival. She would withdraw from the battle at the last moment.
So, she was just scaring this naive little creature~~~
“Whew~~~~”
Facing the insignificant threat from 20 kilometers away, Little Moonwalker seemed unconcerned, casually exhaling a cold breath. However, seeing the anxious expression of the golden-haired girl behind it, its childish face hardened slightly.
“Drip.”
“Drip.”
In the next second, Little Moonwalker’s body began to melt, thick, white liquid, like snot, dripping from its body. The scorching liquid melted the ground beneath it, then evaporated, transforming into white steam that swirled around the fawn’s body. Within the blink of an eye, visible heat waves appeared in the surrounding air.
At this moment, 10 billion viewers were watching Molan’s Death Cube charging its attack.
At this moment, Tian Quan was slacking off at the edge of the map.
And at this moment, Silver Dragon had silently entered her particle form, while He Wang, the pink-haired girl, was still talking trash…
“…”
“…”
“Buzz!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The sun shone brightly, a full moon hanging in the sky.
A giant, blinding full moon illusion appeared above the heads of all the trial participants, covering the entire map.
At that moment, trees, rivers, earth, pet beasts, humans, plants, air, everything melted into a white, viscous liquid as the full moon descended.
All the terrain and environment, it was like a glitch vanishing in an instant.
The Death Cube’s fortress-like body instantly crumbled, only a tenth of it remaining.
And then, under Molan’s horrified gaze, the number of remaining participants stopped at 5.
She, who had narrowly escaped due to her pet beast’s large size, forgot how to even breathe.
The livestream chat, with 11.9 billion viewers, fell silent.
Even the guardian of Qingyao Sea was dumbfounded, staring at the screen, speechless.
“…”
“…”
The only one unharmed was Lian Xing, dressed in her kangaroo onesie.
At this moment, standing at the center of the blinding light, her starry eyes widened, staring at Little Moonwalker, its body glowing like a miniature sun.
Just like how Lightning Elemental Species could unleash wide-range lightning attacks, Fire Elemental Species could unleash wide-range fire attacks, and Ice Elemental Species could unleash wide-range ice attacks…
Moonwalkers, as Elemental Species, could also melt everything before them in an instant.
This was…
The apex of the 72 Legends!!!
