Chapter 1162: Chapter 338: Power of Gai (2-in-1)
Almost the moment Song Luo’s voice fell, the scene in the arena shifted from an overall bird’s-eye view to a specific battleground, where two fearsome powerhouses were currently engaged in combat.
"It’s Leon, the epic-level Beast Tamer from the Desert Region, against the Emperor-tier beast, Wind Wing, from the Star Sea Exotic Beast Region!"
"Contestant Leon is known as the ’War God’ in the Desert Region, and for this battle, he dispatched his strongest pet, a Faith Evolution Beast evolving towards the totem Gai!" Song Luo quickly introduced, "The contestant Wind Wing from the Star Sea Exotic Beast Region belongs to a high-level dual-type wind and water Emperor species, the Wind Feathered Sea Dragon."
"At this moment, the strengths displayed by both sides are equivalent, with Gai and Wind Wing exhibiting an evenly matched encounter." Song Luo’s expression was slightly solemn, "But it’s quite evident that in this match, contestant Leon’s Gai holds a significant advantage."
"Fans familiar with the Faith Evolution pathway should know that once a Faith Evolution pet’s evolved form is sufficiently perfected, it will possess the ability to unfold its Faith Form."
"When the Faith Form is activated, the consumption speed of the accumulated faith power within increases, but the strength is also augmented."
"At this point, Gai has not even unfolded its Faith Form, whereas contestant Wind Wing has clearly exerted all its strength; under such circumstances..." Just as Song Luo was about to finish his commentary, the scene suddenly changed.
In this moment, Leon’s Gai fiercely swung a punch towards Wind Wing.
As the punch was thrown, countless runes and intricate patterns were wrapped within the wind of the fist, as if a terrifying power was brewing in the golden arcs of electricity, striking heavily towards Wind Wing!
With just one punch, the previously evenly matched state was swiftly reversed; Wind Wing suffered a heavy hit and, after a scream, its aura rapidly weakened, only to be taken down by Gai’s combination punch!
[Phantom Creature: Just curious, is this the Faith Form the host just mentioned? It’s indeed strong!]
[Whale Isle Whale Life: I also know about the Faith Evolution pathway in the Desert Region, and the Faith Form doesn’t look like this. This seems more like some kind of powerful faith skill.]
[Dummy Kid Meow Meow: It was evenly matched in the beginning, and just one skill heavily injured the opponent? Totem Gai, terrifying beyond words!]
[...]
A voice came through Song Luo’s earpiece, snapping him back to reality from his momentary daze. Looking at the comments on the screen, he lightly coughed, "This is the Power of Gai, the core strength of Totem Gai."
"Totem Gai is of both lightning and fighting types, and in legends, it controls the power of destruction, and this power manifests on the Faith Evolution pet, forming the faith skill, which is the Power of Gai!"
"Under normal circumstances, the Power of Gai requires a Faith Evolution pet with a sufficiently high degree of evolution, in the state of the Faith Form, to be able to wield." Song Luo paused, "The fact that contestant Leon’s Gai does not need to unfold the Faith Form clearly means it has a higher degree of mastery over the Power of Gai."
"Let’s congratulate contestant Leon on winning the elimination match!"
"Next, let’s see the battle situations of the other contestants."
...
In the arena, Lin Su also noticed the situation on Leon’s side.
Having researched the relevant information beforehand, he quickly determined that Leon was using the legendary power of Totem Gai—the Power of Gai, which symbolizes destruction.
Youyou, beside him, put down the light orb in her hands and looked in Gai’s direction with a thoughtful expression.
Recalling when awakening the Power of Shattering, while searching for its own star in that starry sea, it seemed to have seen a star with similar power.
Did that star feel somewhat weaker than Huan Venerate’s Annihilation Star?
Youyou tilted her little head, then quickly hugged the light orb again, taking a bite with a "yip".
Oh well, never mind!
After Leon eliminated Wind Wing, the results of the first match’s other battles were also announced in succession.
A thousand victors successfully advanced, and after a simple cleaning of the arena, the contestants for the second match took the stage.
And this time, within them, Lin Su immediately noticed a familiar presence.
It was Qin Nan.
Qin Nan’s opponent was an epic-level Beast Tamer, and she clearly had no intention of surrendering, boldly summoning her strongest pet, the Fire Soul Spirit, to battle against the opponent’s Emperor-tier pet.
The final outcome held little suspense.
The epic-level Beast Tamer was fairly amiable, merely having the pet knock Qin Nan and the Fire Soul Spirit out of the arena, thus eliminating the pair.
After the battle, Qin Nan simply and neatly returned to the waiting area, sitting down with a rather carefree expression.
And then, it was the third match.
As the contestants who advanced from the second match left, Lin Su stood up from his seat, heading towards the designated battle area. On the other side, Wulan also swiftly stepped forward.
Seeing Lin Su standing on the stage with his third pet, Wulan immediately felt an immense pressure.
In the first round’s battle strength evaluation, he had personally witnessed Lin Su achieve a terrifying high score of nearly seven thousand. If Lin Su used such strength against him...
No matter what!
Recalling his uncle’s words, Wulan suddenly felt a surge of courage, secretly urging himself on, then took a step onto the battleground, confronting Lin Su from a distance.
"Countdown to three seconds, match start."
The voice of Xie Venerate echoed in the minds of the two thousand contestants present.
"Three..."
As the countdown began, Wulan suddenly widened his eyes.
Because he saw Lin Su walking away to the distance, leaving only his pet, capable of merging with, alone in the battleground.
