Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 130: Before the Final Battle
The storm caused by the appearance of the Iron-Eating Beast's evolved form continued to ferment.
Shi Yu also noticed that the people watching the excitement and those who liked excitement were mostly young people.
And these people often forgot about the events the fastest. It seemed like everyone was asking where to buy the Iron-Eating Beast, whether the price would rise, and whether it was appropriate to buy now. In the end, probably not many would actually take action.
"When you care about whether the Iron-Eating Beast will rise in price, it means you are destined to be out of touch with evolution..."
Shi Yu analyzed silently.
"But on the one hand, the evolution materials of the Iron-Eating Beast are indeed not cheap."
"Among all known monarch race evolution paths, the conditions are considered very harsh."
"After all, Grade Seven resources, Meteorite Iron, are needed, and Meteorite Iron comes from outer space. It is a non-renewable rare resource, and the quantity is really limited. Moreover, it's not just the Iron-Eating Beast that needs it for evolution."
"That is to say, the more people who cultivate Iron-Eating Beasts in the future, the higher the price of Meteorite Iron will be..."
Shi Yu was silent. Sure enough, calling it a Gold-Devouring Beast was more appropriate!
However.
He believed that these people would not regret it when he researched the overlord race evolution method of the Iron-Eating Beast!
At that time, the national treasure would definitely continue to rise in price and become a national-level strategic pet. Every Beast Tamer who cultivated Iron-Eating Beasts would probably receive extra care.
Therefore, the top priority now was for him to win the assessment champion with the Iron-Eating Beast.
After all, judging from the online buzz, many people were now paying attention to the Gudu professional assessment and wanted to know if he could take first place in this session.
"Ying."
"Ji."
After Eleven and Worm finished eating and drinking, they also turned on their phones. After watching the posts about this year's professional assessment for a while, they were slightly stunned.
In the forum, a batch of uninformed people emerged, asking about the situation.
And the professional examinees who actually participated in this session were truthfully expressing their views on the Iron-Eating Beast.
Even Shi Yu's Iron-Eating Beast, which had awakened a partial evolutionary bloodline, could crush the Thundercloud Sprite of a high-level commander race, one against three. The real evolved form of the Iron-Eating Beast was definitely awesome. Please invest with confidence.
"Ji!" Worm raised its head. Could this be considered false advertising?
The leader did awaken the ancient evolutionary bloodline, but the benefits were only seeing the evolved form and doubling its physical strength. It wasn't as exaggerated as they were blowing it up here. If it were a real evolved form of the Iron-Eating Beast, it would probably be difficult to achieve this level.
"Ying." Eleven showed a proud expression. After all, not every Iron-Eating Beast was called Eleven.
"This..." Shi Yu looked at the phone shared by the two pets.
He saw them entering together: [Too low, too low, crushing dragons is no problem.]
Shi Yu: ???
Fortunately, due to not binding a mobile phone number, the guest status was restricted from speaking.
Otherwise, Eleven and Worm would be the biggest false advertisers!
Could they crush a real dragon? Didn't they have any self-awareness?!
...
"It seems that your son is fighting against that Shi Yu."
On the high platform of the Gudu Arena, an old man with a white beard, who had been watching the battle with Legend Yin in a secluded corner, said with a smile.
"Who do you think will win?" Legend Yin looked at the venue below, expressionless.
"Hmm..." The old man pondered slightly and said, "That Iron-Eating Beast's empowered strike can also be considered as going all out."
"Its skill proficiency is very high, and it has mastered many skills. However, its basic race quality is not as good as your son's Rock Mane Beast. Under normal circumstances, these two pets have a fifty-fifty chance."
"The key point may lie in the tactical arrangement, as well as the Clear Crystal Butterfly and that Green Silkworm whose bloodline is unknown."
Speaking of pets with special bloodlines, this could not help but remind the two of Lu Qingyi, a graduate of Gudu University.
Also an archaeologist from Bureau Eleven, Lu Qingyi's pets were even more outrageous, each with a special bloodline.
The Wind Demon Lion possessing the bloodline of the Guardian-level creature Evil-Suppressing Lion, the Azure Spirit Windbird that awakened the Phoenix bloodline, and the Mermaid Princess possessing the Dragon bloodline... All of this was related to her several archaeological adventures.
"Although the Green Silkworm looks inferior to the Clear Crystal Butterfly, I always feel that Shi Yu will win." The old man said with a smile.
"Is that so..." Legend Yin pondered.
"Hahaha, no matter who wins or loses, I'm very happy." The old man's identity was the old principal of Gudu University. Both Yin Zhengfan and Shi Yu were internally determined to enter Gudu University. He was happy no matter who was excellent!
Legend Yin said, "With Zhengfan's strong character, if he loses, he may not enter the same university as Shi Yu. From my understanding of him, he should choose a more competitive place that can help him grow faster."
Gudu University's old principal: ???
Everyone was from Gudu. Could they not joke around like that?
Should he hope that Shi Yu would lose?
He could not help but look at Yin Zhengfan, who was fighting below.
Currently, Yin Zhengfan was fighting against another seed candidate whose Beast Taming Space had reached Level Three, and whose basic test ranking was also among the top eight.
It was the strange-looking, armored, foolish guy Shi Yu saw after the survival trial assessment ended.
Honestly, Shi Yu thought he was more chuunibyou than him. This outfit was too foolish!
However, the other examinees looked as if it was a matter of course, and even envied the armored man's outfit, which Shi Yu couldn't understand.
"The new Grade Three armor from Chongyuan Group, a rich man. With this, he wouldn't die even if he resisted the attack of an extraordinary-level pet."
The special equipment worn by Beast Tamers was made from extraordinary creatures. The founder of Chongyuan Group said that they should use extraordinary to deal with extraordinary. By using the properties of some special materials, and adding the characteristic that as long as one of the Beast Tamer and the pet was alive, the other would not die directly even if they were on the verge of death, some special equipment did have the capital to allow Beast Tamers to face extraordinary attacks without dying.
Shi Yu: "..."
So, this was the benefit of a big brand. Even if the style was a bit chuunibyou, as long as there was a brand effect and practical use, many people would accept it.
So, was he, Shi Yu, flashy and impractical?
The armored man was a rich Beast Tamer.
His three pets were inclined towards the metal and undead elements, similar to Yu Shu's style. The pets could be combined.
Because he had three pets, even if Yu Shu's basic test energy value was a little higher, everyone thought that his strength was slightly stronger than Yu Shu's.
These three pets were the high-level transcendent race, undead element, Phantom Steed.
The mid-level commander race, undead element, Skeleton Warlord.
The mid-level commander race, metal and undead dual-element, Sword Ghoul.
In addition, the examinees also compared him with Shi Yu, because this Sword Ghoul pet could actually be used by the Beast Tamer.
But surprisingly, this armored man, Wang Ling, had the Puppet Warlord abandon his Skeleton Steed and his bone sword, and replace them with the Phantom Steed and the Sword Ghoul.
Look, this was a normal Beast Tamer. Everything was armed for the pet. In comparison, Shi Yu formed a sharp contrast with him.
On the field, the fully armed Skeleton Sword Rider was confronting the Rock Mane Beast and the Clear Crystal Butterfly.
Perhaps stimulated by Shi Yu, Yin Zhengfan, for the first time, did not let the Clear Crystal Butterfly solve the opponent, but let the Rock Mane Beast show its brilliance and use its second skill besides Intimidation.
Super Skill, Lava Burst--
"Roar!!!" A huge rock creature more than four meters tall, resembling a bipedal dinosaur, directly threw a punch after Intimidation. During the process of throwing its punch, its arm directly turned into a huge lava fist composed of lava. Facing this terrifying punch, the armored man Wang Ling and the Skeleton Sword Rider's expressions were extremely solemn.
In this instant, the Phantom Steed used the group support skill Charge Horn to increase the speed and strength of the entire team.
The Skeleton Warlord used the high-level skill Command Sword. The more teammates there were, the more cohesive the will, and the stronger the skill's power.
As for the Sword Ghoul, it burst out with a ghostly light, summoning the Array Ghoul hidden in the sword, enhancing its own destructive power.
The combination of three skills, plus Wang Ling's Soul Enhancement talent, maximized the momentum of this attack. The entire venue was suddenly silent.
But--
The next moment, the venue suddenly boiled, because the moment the Rock Mane Beast's lava fist came into contact with the Skeleton Sword Rider's Command Sword, it was like a volcanic eruption, spewing out countless terrifying lava, instantly swallowing the three pets and sending them flying!!
"Impossible." Seeing this scene, the armored man Wang Ling widened his eyes.
Everyone's mouths were slightly open, shocked by the terrifying power of this Lava Burst.
"Just so-so." Seeing this scene, Yu Shu showed a disdainful expression. He actually knew Wang Ling. Their elders were friends, after all, the circle of psychics in Gudu was so small. So, Yu Shu had grown up competing with Wang Ling since he was a child. At this time, he shook his head regretfully when he saw the other party's defeat.
"The skills of the three pets are not coordinated at all. 1+1+1 cannot equal 3. It's far worse than Zhang Qianyi's greater than 3. Where is he stronger than me?"
"The ending is indeed Yin Zhengfan vs. Shi Yu."
At this time, many masters silently analyzed the Lava Burst in their silent hearts.
Judging from the power, it didn't seem as simple as just mastering it. Even if it didn't reach the proficient level, it wasn't just getting started.
It should have been tempered and strengthened for a long time with rare volcanic resources!
Lava Burst, which was famous for its destructive power among the super skills, plus the Rock Mane Beast's own strong physical qualities, this punch directly and unreasonably smashed the opponent!
At this time, after Yin Zhengfan defeated his opponent, he politely said a word to his opponent, then looked around, searching for Shi Yu's figure, but he couldn't find him.
"Ying!" At this time, Shi Yu was of course silently watching the small TV. Beside him, Eleven and Worm widened their eyes after seeing the Lava Burst. How could it be so powerful? Even a super skill was unscientific!
"Don't worry." Shi Yu said from the side, "Super skills can mobilize much more energy than low-level, mid-level, and high-level skills. He probably won't feel good himself after that strike."
Shi Yu's gaze was focused on the screen. Multiplication + Thunder Palm + Hardening. He was confident that Eleven could perfectly suppress this attack, but Eleven's physical strength wasn't that advantageous compared to this Rock Mane Beast.
In addition, the Rock Mane Beast was a monarch race. Its basic race quality was much higher than the opponents he had encountered before. In other words, it was more durable. Thinking carefully, it was really a bit difficult to deal with.
"This battle is not only about endurance, but also about making up for shortcomings." Shi Yu quickly made a tactical arrangement.
"Come here, let's discuss it!!"
"Ying!" "Ji!"
Eleven and Worm looked at each other. Shi Yu rarely personally arranged tactics for them. When he did, it was either to play tricks or to take the opponent extremely seriously. They didn't know which one it was this time.
...
Inside the venue.
The ranking promotion battle between the losers was underway.
Shi Yu and Yin Zhengfan were both resting silently.
At this time, Zhang Qianyi vs. Wang Ling, Yu Shu vs. Miao Dongdong, these battles were also very interesting.
However, the audience was particularly impatient now and only wanted to see the battle between Shi Yu and Yin Zhengfan.
"Who do you think is more monstrous, Yin Zhengfan or Shi Yu?"
"One is ridiculously young and strong, and the other... well, okay, I don't know how to describe Shi Yu."
There was a lot of discussion in the venue.
Acquaintances who were paying attention to Shi Yu were also clenching their fists, like Panda Senior. She had a splitting headache. How did she feel more nervous than Shi Yu himself?
She didn't care about the potential publicity value that Shi Yu's championship would bring to the Iron-Eating Beast breeding base. Instead, she simply wanted to see the little Iron-Eating Beast that no one had chosen realize its dream and defeat all the strong enemies!
"Senior, Senior, who do you think will win?"
In another deserted viewing spot, the Beast-Ear Girl Senior stood adoringly beside Lu Qingyi and asked.
"Either one is fine." Lu Qingyi said.
She hoped that Shi Yu could win, but it didn't matter if he lost. After all, his opponent wasn't weak either. Shi Yu being able to get to this point was already beyond her expectations.
In Lu's view, this was just the beginning.
After the assessment, she would directly help the little Iron-Eating Beast complete its monarch race evolution with 1 billion yuan of evolution materials. With the current foundation of this little Iron-Eating Beast, it could definitely be nearly invincible at the transcendent level. It wasn't impossible to fight dragons of the overlord race at the same growth level. After all, it had many skills and high proficiency.
Therefore, Lu Qingyi both valued and didn't value this final battle. The professional assessment was just the door to the Beast Tamer field. After that was the real beginning.
Wasn't it obvious? Compared to Yin Zhengfan's two pets, Shi Yu's two pets had greater potential and could evolve at any time!
"Final round of assessment, Shi Yu, vs., Yin Zhengfan!"
The audience didn't know how long they had waited. Master Qu Xie, who was responsible for hosting the assessment, was actually also waiting for this battle.
He took a deep breath and looked at the arena.
Hopefully, it wouldn't be damaged too badly this time.
How he wanted to reinforce the arena!
But that would be less friendly to earth-type pets. An Earthwalking Rat would probably directly knock itself unconscious while digging a hole. Therefore, Master Qu Xie could only repair it tearfully again and again.
What level of battle should use what level of arena material, but the problem was that there was a group of bastards who showed the ability to fight beyond their level. They were often the headache of the judges.
"Du du--"
With a whistle from Master Qu Xie, Shi Yu and Yin Zhengfan slowly walked onto the field from both sides while everyone was excited.
During the process of walking onto the field, there was a light in Yin Zhengfan's eyes as he looked at Shi Yu. Obviously, he had been waiting for this battle for a long time.
As for Shi Yu, he could only respond with a smile in the face of the child's persistence, while thinking in his heart:
"Don't blame me for being too ruthless..."
