The giant jellyfish beside the man emitted a flash of light before disappearing entirely, as if cloaked in invisibility.
Simultaneously, a colorless bubble surged forward, enveloping the man.
The man and his contracted spirit entered the territory of Hua Country with ease, heading directly towards Dragon Abyss…
The next morning,
Chen Shu lay on his bed, his right leg resting on his left, his expression leisurely as he contemplated something…
"My clone skill has reached level six, and the strength of my third clone has increased slightly again…"
He muttered to himself, "When will I be able to reach level ten?"
He was already eager to see the fourth husky appear.
The growth potential of [Clone] was simply too high; regardless of your Beast Tamer level, it would never become obsolete.
"Still a bit short of Silver Three-star."
He shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes. Currently, Jona of the Alliance was Silver Three-star, and he would be at a slight disadvantage if they faced each other.
"Chen Pi, get up!"
Just then, a voice called from outside the room.
"Coming."
With a powerful roll, Chen Shu got out of bed and left the room.
After a hearty breakfast, the group headed to the competition stage together.
The competition stage was already crowded with spectators, and the surrounding audio-visual equipment had been activated, commencing the global live broadcast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome today's contestants, Jona of the Free Alliance and Fang Si of Hua Country!"
The excitement today remained undiminished, even surpassing previous days.
Both competitors were female, naturally drawing significant attention.
Furthermore, their exceptional talents made this match a highly anticipated one.
Although Fang Si's popularity was not as high as Jona's, she was still not to be underestimated. Not only were the viewers from Hua Country cheering for her, but many foreign viewers were also supporting her.
At this moment, Jona, with her golden hair, stepped onto the competition stage. Her extraordinary talent coupled with her stunning beauty immediately made her the center of attention.
"Go, Sister Fang Si!"
A Liang and the others cheered, naturally hoping for their compatriot to emerge victorious.
"Sister Fang Si, she's stealing your spotlight!"
Chen Shu remarked, "Do you want me to help you become the new focus of everyone's attention!"
"What?"
Fang Si was slightly taken aback, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"When it's your turn, just deploy a nuclear bomb."
Chen Shu grinned and said, "Trust me, there's nothing brighter on the entire Blue Star!"
"Get lost!"
Fang Si chuckled and retorted, then proceeded to the competition stage.
As soon as they stepped onto the stage, the two locked eyes, their gazes filled with fighting spirit, appearing to be in direct opposition.
"You are no match for me!"
Jona smiled faintly, her eyes brimming with confidence, as if victory was already assured.
"We'll know after we fight!"
Fang Si's expression was calm; she simply intended to fight her best, not overly concerned with the outcome.
Boom, boom—
At this moment, both parties moved to their designated combat positions and then summoned their contracted spirits.
Roar!
Fang Si's three dragon-type contracted spirits appeared, their auras still formidable.
Especially the Scarlet Flame Dragon in the center, its eyes burning with intense flames, spewing fire with every breath, exuding a fierce demeanor.
Jona's two contracted spirits, imbued with light and dark attributes, also appeared. They resembled leopards but possessed wings on their backs.
"Still only using two contracted spirits?"
Fang Si's expression shifted, her gaze fixed on Jona.
"Of course not!"
Jona smiled faintly, showing Fang Si due respect.
Just then, the space below them split open,
And a humanoid creature, exuding an incredibly fearsome aura, slowly stepped out!
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, their eyes wide with shock.
The contracted spirit stood two meters tall, its features exquisitely refined, almost perfect. However, its eyes were chillingly cold, devoid of any human emotion.
On its back, a pair of golden wings unfurled, emanating a golden glow with every beat. Its right hand held a golden longsword, intricately carved with complex symbols, appearing incredibly sharp!
It was none other than a legendary angel!
"Its potential rating…"
A hint of shock flickered in Qin Tian's eyes as he scrutinized the angel on the stage.
Dolly of the Free Alliance smiled slightly, pride evident on his face, and said,
"That's right, Jona's final contracted spirit is SSS-rank!"
In an instant, everyone below the competition stage fell silent, their eyes wide as if they had seen a ghost.
This was the first SSS-rank contracted spirit to appear among the younger generation!
The people from the Free Alliance were also astonished.
During the national competition, Jona's contracted spirit was not SSS-rank. Could she have had a fortuitous encounter?
"No wonder you're so confident."
Anton of Snow Country looked at Dolly and remarked, "SSS-rank indeed represents a qualitative leap."
"You flatter me, you flatter me."
Dolly grinned, "It's just an SSS-rank, there's no need for surprise."
"Principal Qin, the championship seems to be further away from you now."
"Hmph! Potential rating isn't everything!"
Qin Tian's expression remained calm, and he still had faith in Chen Shu.
That guy could easily defeat S-rank spirits when his own were F-rank.
Now that his were A-rank, beating an SSS-rank shouldn't be a problem, right?
"As expected, she has some real skill."
Chen Shu's eyes held a peculiar glint. It was his first time seeing an SSS-rank contracted spirit.
As for its specific strength, he couldn't quite assess it, but judging by its aura, it had likely also reached the Gold rank.
Jona's expression was serene as she looked at Fang Si and asked,
"Do you still have a chance of winning?"
"We'll know after we fight."
Although Fang Si's heart was shaken, it did not affect her composure.
Boom, boom—
In an instant, the protective barrier between them was removed. The six contracted spirits faced each other, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Roar!
The White Flying Dragon roared first, unleashing its divine skill.
Instantly, a massive white shield appeared, protecting all three of Fang Si's contracted spirits.
Its divine skill was controllable; creating three shields would weaken its defensive capabilities.
However, with a single shield, its defense was maximized, capable of withstanding even Gold-rank attacks.
Jona's expression was calm, and she said, "It's useless!"
The angel below's eyes flashed with brilliant golden light. Its wings fluttered slightly, and then it vanished from its original position.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
In the blink of an eye, the angel appeared in front of Fang Si's three dragon-type contracted spirits.
It swung its golden longsword, carrying unparalleled might.
Bang!
As they clashed, a sharp, piercing sound echoed.
"Oh?"
Jona was slightly taken aback, not expecting her opponent to block the angel's attack.
Roar!
The Scarlet Flame Dragon roared, instantly spitting out a scorching flame towards the angel.
The angel's golden eyes flashed, and a golden light shield appeared before it.
The light shield made contact with the flames but showed no signs of melting.
Whether it was offensive power, defensive capability, or speed, it was truly monstrous, capable of completely overwhelming its peers.
This was a contracted spirit without any apparent weaknesses!
Dolly of the Free Alliance smiled faintly and asked,
"Principal Qin, who will you support between Jona's angel and Chen Shu's elemental beast?"
"I'll support Jona's angel… from its grave…"
