Chapter 332 - Strange” Battle Pet


Chapter 332 “Strange” Battle Pet

You lost…

Qin Shaotian used a low voice to say the words but it was more than enough to stun Liu Jianxin into stillness.

He had lost…

He had lost so easily and so quickly!

His battle pets hadn’t even gotten a chance to demonstrate their full strength… He had been unable to find the right time to use the secret skill he had spent years in learning. He had yet to show people his understanding of strategy and how he would deploy his pets… He had done nothing!

He had been defeated.

He didn’t get a chance to fight back.

In the face of absolute power, nothing would work and nothing would be of value!

Whoosh!

The piercing pain on his forehead vanished. The Bloody Servant fixed its crimson eyes on Liu Jianxin. The look was still full of violence and cruelty, and Liu Jianxin saw a trace of contempt mixed in!

The Bloody Servant was eyeing him as if he were a piece of garbage that wasn’t even “edible.”

Liu Jianxin’s heart trembled. Shame. Such a burning shame! What made him more miserable was that while he was seething with anger, he never had a chance to show it!

He was still terrorized by the Bloody Servant. He was afraid to shout, to roar. He had dared to throw some trash talk at Qin Shaotian but he lacked the courage to provoke the pet.

He was still within the pet’s attack range.

It was a freak that could lose control at any minute and once that happened, he would most certainly lose his life!

The judge was there but he had been seriously hurt by the dragon. Liu Jianxin supposed that a new judge would take over soon. At the moment, the current judge was no longer able to save him should anything happen.

At the thought of the dragon, Liu Jianxin curled his lips.

While he had been seated, watching as an onlooker, he had a completely different impression compared to when he was up there in person.

Qin Shaotian’s Bloody Servant was a precise and flawless freak! But it had been unable to demonstrate any amazing abilities in front of that dragon.

Such a huge gap.

Liu Jianxin felt sorry. He had so many skills to unleash, including the secret skill that he had made painstaking efforts to learn. That secret skill would have been able to amaze many people. Still, he had lost without even having a chance to display his abilities.

Of course, even if he had been able to use the skills, they wouldn’t have been able to do any harm to the Bloody Servant. It might have even felt that all the seemingly powerful strikes were just enough to scratch an itch.

The audience regarded him as an “average” person!

The very thought made Liu Jianxin grip the handle of his sword tighter. He would pay anything to wash away the shame!

Liu Jianxin lost!

He had been defeated in an instant!

The result was final. The judge had made the call and Liu Jianxin admitted his defeat.

There was a second of silence the moment the judge announced the result, followed by cheering loud enough to wake the dead!

Everyone had been seized with excitement. The battle hadn’t been as fierce as they had thought. Still, everyone found it thrilling. The matches in Group D could be regarded as the most splendid in the entire Elite League!

First, Qin Shaotian had been defeated, even when he had two dragons as his secondary pets.

Then, Qin Shaotian utterly and quickly crushed Liu Jianxin, another promising participant, with overwhelming superiority! How incredible was that!

Liu Jianxin had lost to Qin Shaotian. What would have happened if Liu Jianxin had gotten the chance to fight against the dragon?

Liu Jianxin would have been deprived of any chance to fight!

The audience felt an upsurge of strong emotions. They couldn’t wait to see the battle among the Top 10 and the final championship contest. They wished that they could skip over the rest of the groups to go straight to the Top 10 matches!

People were still cheering and applauding. Qin Shaotian called back his Bloody Servant. He had looked away from Liu Jianxin. There was a glint of tiredness in his eyes. He darted a glance at a certain place in the staging area and left the stage. He didn’t go back to the staging area. He left the venue directly.

He was no longer interested in watching the following matches.

Before that day, he would have had some patience to stay and watch. At the moment, he was the only one that knew how seriously his battle with Su Lingyue had crushed his confidence.

He just wanted to grow stronger!

And stronger!

Behind an able man, there would always be another man with more ability. Then, let him be the latter!!

At the staging area.

Su Lingyue had just sat down when Qin Shaotian defeated Liu Jianxin and the battle ended. It happened so fast that she couldn’t understand.

Didn’t Qin Shaotian… lose to her?

Why was he still so strong?

She couldn’t help but wonder.

Luo Fengtian and the others were strangely eyeing Su Lingyue. She had defeated Qin Shaotian and injured the judge. The girl’s dragon was a monster.

The mere fact of being seated next to her seemed stressful. As Su Lingyue sat down next to her, Yu Weihan felt how her heart began to pound fast. The image of her battle with Su Lingyue unfolded in front of her eyes again.

Yu Weihan looked at the girl from the corner of her eye. At this moment, Yu Weihan realized that her defeat was not embarrassing at all.

It could be said that… she had been lucky.

Even Qin Shaotian had lost to Su Lingyue.

If all of Su Lingyue’s defeated opponents could be categorized in the same group, then Yu Weihan would be placed in the same category as Qin Shaotian. In a way, that was a flattering thought for Yu Weihan.

Su Yanying noticed how Su Lingyue hadn’t been affected by emotions, while seemingly oblivious to the sensation she had caused. Su Yanying couldn’t help but put on a forced smile. Su Lingyue’s style was similar to hers.

They both would just stand there and let their pets do the rest.

She shouldn’t be so surprised. Su Ping had managed to train her Lightning Rat to such a stunning level, not to mention the fact that Su Lingyue was his sister. He would naturally save good things for her. It was just that, the “good thing” had been awfully good.

Of the entire base city, over a million were competing in the Elite League. Still, none of them would be able to snatch first place from Su Lingyue.

Because she had a dragon with massive potential and intimidating power!

Su Yanying felt she was even a bit jealous of Su Lingyue.

At the place where the Liu family members were gathered.

The fast ending battle had struck the Liu family disciples dumb. They felt they couldn’t understand the turn of events.

Liu Jianxin had been defeated… That was to say, Liu Jianxin had lost his chance to make it to the Top 10?

How?

Given his strength, he should have been able to make it to the Top 5!

How could they accept the fact that he had missed his chance to reach the Top 10?!

Liu Qingfeng wore a clouded expression. He was fully aware of what Liu Jianxin was capable of. It came as a complete surprise to him, for Liu Jianxin to have been defeated by Qin Shaotian who had just lost a match!

What an unbelievable situation!

Besides, Primo had proclaimed they would guarantee that Liu Jianxin would make it to the Top 5, and they had promoted this profusely!

However… it turned out that Liu Jianxin had not even made it to the Top 10 winners.

“Damn it…” Liu Qingfeng turned around and glared at the girl in the distance. He clenched his hands so tightly that he had torn a piece off the chair. If it hadn’t been for the girl, Liu Jianxin and Qin Shaotian would have been the only two noticeable participants in Group D. In that case, even if Liu Jianxin would have lost to Qin Shuhai, he would have had another go at earning a place in the Top 10!

Liu Qingfeng was unable to vent his anger on Qin Shaotian.

The Liu family and Qin family had always been on bad terms. No two families in the five major families were close. At best, they would act politely amongst each other on the surface, or purely depending on interests. Therefore, Liu Qingfeng had transferred all of his anger to the girl that came out from nowhere.

Things would have been different if it weren’t for her.

“How come the family hasn’t found out who is behind the store? The people in the government are as mute as fish, they have not said a single word. Is there a legendary battle pet warrior supporting the store?”

Liu Qingfeng was furious.

Legendary battle pet warrior?

He was merely considering that possibility but he wouldn’t take it seriously. Of the entire Subcontinent District, there were merely two legendary battle pet warriors. There had been more of them in the past but they dropped off the grid. No one knew where those legendary battle pet warriors had gone to. To the public, there were only two legendary battle pet warriors left alive.

Liu Qingfeng would never believe that a legendary battle pet warrior was secretly controlling the store.

If there were such a person, he could just say the word and the Liu family would simply back off from the competition!

At the same time, those of the Ye, the Mu, and the Zhou families.

Everyone had solemn looks while still astonished. The girl had beaten Qin Shaotian but the latter had still demonstrated abilities that should not be underestimated. He had crushed Liu Jianxin. Qin Shaotian was the most dangerous participant, second only to the girl!

It could be said that the previous battle between Qin Shaotian and the girl had been the championship’s final match!

“Those two…”

Ye Longtian clenched his fists. The will to fight was still raging in him.

He was not concerned about winning or losing anymore. He just wanted to find out how huge the gap was between him and those two. He knew that he couldn’t have won against the dragon, but he believed he had a chance against Qin Shaotian’s Bloody Servant.

He was not a loser like Liu Jianxin!

“Qin Shaotian is horrifying…” Mu Chen and Mu Yuanshou both appeared concerned.

The powerful warriors of the major families and the government who were seated in the front row looked calm, but they were all hiding their thoughts. Not even their eyes could reveal their feelings.

“It seems that some store is not going to deliver on its promise about the Top 5 spots.” The elder from the Zhou family heaved a sigh, feeling “sorry.”

The elder from Liu family pulled a long face. He snorted. “No one can guarantee anything in a match. Jianxin just didn’t have a chance to show what he can do because Qin Shaotian is unusually powerful. “The Qin family sure has able men who come in droves. A young man like Qin Shaotian will lead the Qin family to greater heights, to make the Qin family more powerful than the rest of

us!”

With that said, he turned to the elder of the Qin family.

Those from the other families were all thinking about different things upon hearing those words.

The elder from the Qin family replied calmly, “As the future family head, how can Qin Shaotian convince other members in the family if he’s not powerful enough? Shaotian is just young and aggressive. I believe that the other warrior of the Liu family has also been hiding his abilities, right?”

“Qingfeng can never compare to Qin Shaotian. You’re flattering him.”

“Hmm, interesting…”

After Qin Shaotian and Liu Jianxin finished their battle, the matches in Group D came to an end.

The participants of Group E began their battles.

That day, five groups would have matches. Group E was the last one.

Popular participants like Liu Qingfeng and Xu Kuang were in that group.

They began to draw their names.

The participants went up to the stage for their respective battles. All of them summoned their battle pets; everyone performed stunningly.

But, people were not cheering as passionately as before. Although the battles in Group E were just as good as the previous batch, maybe it had something to do with the fact that the audience had already seen Qin Shaotian and Su Lingyue’s battle.

After each battle, there were only a few rounds of applause here and there. Finally, people’s enthusiasm began to pick up when it came to Group E’s last match.

Ona

Eventually, Liu Qingfeng won and moved up to the Top 10. Xu Kuang lost to him but he still had a chance to try to reach the Top 10 later.

That was a dangerous battle and intrigued those in the audience who had lost their interest.

Liu Qingfeng had displayed a much more powerful strength than when he was fighting in the trials. To defeat Xu Kuang, Liu Qingfeng used four battle pets and all were rare ones with ninth-rank bloodlines. The main pet was one of the demon family, which was proficient with spiritual attacks. One of the secondary pets was a dragon that was among the Top 15 most powerful dragons!

O

Such a pet was just his secondary pet. One could imagine how horrifying his demon pet was.

Xu Kuang had also been able to stun everyone with his brilliant performance.

He had three pets and two were weak, merely at the seventh rank.

Of course, for other participants, a seventh-rank pet would have been nice. But such pets would only get them to the Top 100. To make it to the Top 10, a pet of that rank was not enough!

Xu Kuang’s main pet, the only pet he used, was one with a ninth-rank bloodline. The pet’s current rank could not be determined. Some experts decided that the pet was at the seventh-rank based on its size and physical features.

And yet, this pet could exhibit powers close to the ninth-rank!

The pet was using many skills that shouldn’t be found in pets of this family. It was so confusing that people couldn’t clearly assess the pet’s prowess.

The pet was similar to a turtle, which was obvious at first, but was also able to abandon its shell. The nails on its claws would grow and it would dash out and fight opponents at close quarters.

It gave off a strange feeling.

The same strange feeling that people sensed from another pet, the most intimidating pet they had seen thus far, the Moonfrost Dragon!
