Chapter 250 - 246: One through twelve?
Chapter 250: Chapter 246: One through twelve?
Li Mu was defeated, and the students that followed were clearly no match for Dean, but he didn’t seem to intend to sweep them all. When there was only one person left in the association, he deliberately conceded.
However, everyone knew, the first round, the association had lost.
“I’m sorry, Host.”
Li Mu, who could be described as having been miserably defeated, was somber. He seemed to feel guilty about not being able to hold the first round for the association. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan gave a faint smile and said, “Don’t worry, someone will avenge you.”
Li Mu was stunned, and then saw that the participants of the second group had already been transported to the field. The association’s first player had already stepped onto the stage.
It was none other than Bai Qi.
Bai Qi glanced over the group of ten Beast Masters from the Thirteenth Bureau After having a rough understanding of the opposing line-up, he turned his head to look at Bai Yuxiao and said, “I’m sorry, but you might not get a chance toplay.”
Hearing this, Bai Yuxiao gave an involuntary roll of her eyes, but didn’t argue. She quickly left the stage.
Originally, she had wanted to score a few points ahead of Bai Qi. Looking at the situation now, she didn’t have to dream about it anymore.
But the most detestable part was that she was upstaged by that bastard Bai Qi. After Bai Yuxiao took the lead in leaving, Ran Xu, Qiao Li and the other Beast Masters chose to retreat after exchanging glances.
Twelve against one was nothing. Bai Qi had done crazier things before. After he spoke out, there was no more reason for them to stick around.
Retreat, retreat.
Hahaha… It seems that the Beast Masters of your association have a lot of confidence in Bai Qi. I wonder if his talent in Beast Control matches his research talent,” Wang Jian laughed heartily, and Zhao Futu’s face was also full of smiles.
Talent?
This thing was no longer suitable for this little guy.
The behavior of the second group greatly boosted the morale of the association. But for the Thirteenth Bureau, it was a significant insult.
Among them were individuals who were groomed by the Thirteenth Bureau from an early age and some who were transferred from various departments. All of them were honed in the wild. Even if they weren’t the cream of the crop, they were at least among the top.
So what did the association mean by this?
Sending out a student who was, at most, a year older?
Did they think they were some kind of abnormal beings like Bai Qiucha? If they wanted to emulate Dean’s breakthrough, they should at least have a little self- awareness.
“Association contestants, Bai Qi, Thirteenth Bureau, please decide on your participants promptly.”
Seeing Bai Qi, who was standing on the stage casually, Leng Feifei’s lips curled in a smile. She showed no sign of blaming the actions of Bai Yuxiao and the others.
The bureau nearly suffered a complete defeat. If they didn’t retaliate, it would indeed be quite embarrassing.
After all, this was their home court.
Hearing Leng Feifei’s urging, Lilith, who was in the same group as Bai Qi, was a bit restless. However, just as she was about to stand up, she was stopped by a look from Dean.
This Bai Qi is not as simple as you think. Just observe first.”
Dean sent a voice message to Lilith and then turned his gaze to Bai Qi.
“Then I’ll go first.”
Seeing that no one was stepping forward, a determined-looking young man stepped onto the stage and said, “Zhao Hai, Four Stage Beast Master, please enlighten me.”
Bai Qi nodded his head and said, “Bai Qi, Four Stage Beast Master, please enlighten me.”
“Both of you are ready? Then, let the battle begin!”
Leng Feifei immediately announced the start of the match. Both sides began to summon their beasts simultaneously. Zhao Hai’s four beasts appeared almost simultaneously and immediately prepared for battle.
As a researcher of three core patents and the top scorer in the two-city joint examination, Zhao Hai didn’t underestimate Bai Qi. In addition to his military background, he gave it his all right from the start.
However, Zhao Hai’s state only lasted a moment before he was completely thrown off guard.
The reason was simple. Bai Qi had only summoned one beast.
A slime? Is this how you treat your opponents?”
A trace of resentment flashed across Zhao Hai’s face. He could accept defeat, but he couldn’t stand the disrespect.
Seeing the indignant look on Zhao Hai’s face, Bai Qi shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to belittle you. I’m just planning to use it to break ’ through all of you. Everyone is the same.”
As soon as Bai Qi spoke, the Thirteenth Bureau fell silent. On the association side, after a short silence, Zhou Yan was the first to laugh.
“Indeed, when it comes to acting arrogant, Bai Qi wins!”
Bai Qiucha shook her head in exasperation and said, “But isn’t this a bit too mocking? Gamma is only one of Bai Qi’s three pets. Won’t this anger them?” “So what if it’s one of the three pets? I’ve never thought of it as just that.” Xiao Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, “It was the first time I felt helpless against an opponent.”
Don t think too much. Focus on your own upcoming battles.”
Lu Qing pushed her glasses up and reminded, “If this guy overshadows us, and our performances later are not up to par, the president and the others won’t let us off.”
The crowd was taken aback by the announcements, starting to ponder their future strategies, while the atmosphere in the arena had already hit its peak. “I recall Bai Qi used one of the skeletal and one of the wolf species in the Two Cities Joint Exam, right? So, this slime creature is his third pet?” “Does he really think he can trounce us all with just three pets? Even Dean would never dare to be this audacious, right?”
Damn it! We must teach him a lesson on proper demeanor!”
The crowd below erupted in outrage, and as one of the parties involved, Zhao Hai was even more incensed.
“If that’s the case, then you’d better have no regrets!”
As a military-affiliated Beast Master who had grown in actual combat, Zhao Hai would not be entangled in thoughts concerning fairness. Once Bai Qi had made his choice, he could not blame others for the consequences.
Following Zhao Hai’s order, the four-headed pets launched a simultaneous attack on Gamma. Gamma’s jelly-like body was battered and distorted, flopping about in the air before finally falling to the ground after a while.
But even then, there was no sign of injury on Gamma. Instead, he formed a pair of big, confused eyes, looking blankly around.
Quack, quack?
(Master, is the match starting?)
“Indeed, the sooner we finish, the earlier we can knock off work. So, stop wasting time.”
Quack, quack!
(Gamma understands!)
After receiving Bai Qi’s combat instructions, Gamma exhibited a rare surge of fighting spirit. He lightly hopped on the ground, and three auras of green, red, and dark instantly spread across the entire field. The four-headed pets, which’ had previously been attacking vigorously, suddenly felt a change in their bodies.
Toxic corrosion, blood surges, energy depletion, and an incredibly annoying sensation of being burned by flames.
The influx of several negative statuses caused their conditions to plummet drastically. Realizing the problem, Zhao Hai immediately ordered his four-headed pets to launch an all-out attack on Gamma.
But regardless of their continuous attacks, Gamma showed no signs of injury and became even more spirited.
Being cautious, Zhao Hai’s four-headed pets didn’t venture too close. After all, aura-class skills are stronger the closer they are to the center. Thus, they all utilized long-range skills.
And these energy-form skills, to Gamma who had basically maxed out resistance to all elements, were as inconsequential as being given vegetables. Nevertheless, having honed his skills in actual combat, Zhao Hai promptly changed his strategy as his long-range skills proved ineffective. Two pets continued to provide long- range cover while the other two quickly closed in, launching a flurry of close-combat physical attacks on Gamma.
This time, their attack finally worked. Gamma’s jelly-like body was shattered into countless pieces, scattering across the ground.
“Is that it? Dean has become overly cautious.”
Seeing the state of affairs, Lilith strained her brow slightly. Indeed, while impressive, Gamma’s three aura skills and considerable energy resistance mean little with such poor physical defense abilities, proving that he is not destined to go far.
At this moment, Zhao Hai, who had believed he was about to win, suddenly felt his pets weakening at a rapid pace. One of them even appeared faint and was undoubtedly affected by the toxicity affecting the organs.
“How is it possible?”
A disbelieving Zhao Hai looked around to see that the three auras on the ground did not disappear. Instead, many more sprang up, completely encircling the four-headed pets leaving no room for them to move.
The source of these auras was none other than Gamma’s scattered fragments. [Name]: Undying King (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Bloodsucking Aura (High Level -Perfect), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level -Perfect), Split (Mid-Level -Perfect), Mimicry (Low Level – Perfect), Corrosion (Low Level -Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Mid-Level – Perfect)…Golden Cicada Shelling (Super Level -Beginner), Sacrificial Aura (High Level -Skilled), Energy Diversion (High Level -Skilled), Life Energy Conversion (Super Level -Skilled).
[Energy Value]: 4E6800W
After several days of intense enhancement training, Gamma had jumped to the fourth stage, and his energy value had exploded to over 400 million.
Note that only when Lord – level creatures advance to the fifth stage they will have 400 million energy. Yet, Gamma has already achieved this at the fourth stage.
The physical mutations had essentially revealed its full potential under the enhancement by the Evolution Egg.
With such an astonishing amount of energy as support, all of Gamma’s skills were greatly enhanced in scope and duration. Even the energy value carried by the split Gamma bodies might not be inferior to creatures of the same level.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai finally realized that he was not Gamma’s match. With gritted teeth, he chose to concede.
Whether it was the Deadly Poison, Bloodsucking Aura or burning effect, the longer they persisted, the more damage they inflicted on the pets. If the match continued, irreversible injuries might occur.
“Hmm, he conceded just like that?”
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Hai’s quick forfeit. He then signaled Gamma to absorb the statuses on the four-headed pets and returned.
“Thankyou, I admit my defeat.”
Seeing Bai Qi even help heal his pets, the resentment Zhao Hai had harbored in his heart gradually disappeared.
Perhaps, he indeed had the strength to defeat all of them.
