Chapter 041 Chapter 41 (Second update)

"6v2? What the hell is that?"

"No, I don't think that's right. Rules are rules. They've been set like this for years. How can we let them change them?"

Inside the competition venue, in the backstage area, which was even more lively than yesterday, a thin-faced middle-aged man stroked his chin. "Actually... there's nothing wrong with the changes. I actually think these kids are quite interesting."

"Anyway, the examiners now have a good idea of ​​each candidate's level, and the individual rankings are pretty much set to remain unchanged. I'm curious what strategies they'll come up with to win the team competition."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other opposing voices immediately became much weaker.

Because the man was the president of the Jiang City Beast Tamer Association, Lu Sheng.

The finals in Japan were already bustling with activity, and after the news that Xia Muqing had used the prototype of her magical skill was released, many reporters and media came today. They were all stopped outside by the urgently reinforced security personnel, who were watching with cameras in their hands. Some of them even wanted to hang cameras on the mysterious beasts to let them fly in during the chaos.

If the news of "Cheng Zizhuo's promotion to the Divine Beast Master" had not been exposed, and if the rumor that he was currently in Jiang City had not spread, many reporters would have gone to block him, and the team outside the stadium would have grown even stronger.

Even though they couldn't enter the venue, there were many well-informed reporters. As soon as the decision to change the competition mode was made, people outside knew about it.

"6v2? That's not fair. If my profound beast had the rudiments of divine skills, why would I bother with them?"

"Hey, I heard this was agreed upon by both players. What's the name of that student with the rudiments of a magical skill... Xia Muqing? Maybe she has a trump card?"

"Come on, you think this is a card game, with cards coming out one after another? I think she's a little too proud. She won a few bucks against a few students, but she doesn't even know how much she's got..."

The crowd murmured, and inside the arena, the game soon began.

In fact, the Royal Salute Team was certainly satisfied with this combat rule, and it also happened to suit the needs of the high-energy team in front - their team only had a few mysterious beasts to use, and if they really had to fight one battle after another, they might not be able to defeat the powerful Royal Salute Team.

After all, there is only one Gale Hound, and the prototype of the magical skill only has the strength to fire one shot, so the remaining opponents still need others to deal with them.

But if there is a big melee, Xia Muqing can find a way to let Xiaofeng use the prototype of his magical skills to wipe out all the opponents.

Xu Ling also said: "More numbers doesn't necessarily mean stronger. It also requires good coordination. If the coordination is not good, it would be better to just send one or two mysterious beasts."

Xia Muqing stood alone on one side of the battle stage. Opposite her were three tall boys led by Yuan Feiyu. They were all rather burly, but when they looked at her, their eyes were inevitably nervous, and their muscles were tense.

Compared to them, Xia Muqing was much more relaxed. She even turned her head to chat quietly with Xu Ling and others in the audience with a smile on her face.

Although it was clearly a battle with an unmatched number of people, the atmosphere on the field did not make people feel that the majority was bullying the minority. Instead, it seemed as if Xia Muqing alone surrounded the other three.

The more she acted like this, the more uneasy Yuan Feiyu became. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and released his two mystical beasts: "Ice Spirit, Silver Moon Vine!"

Two beautiful mysterious beasts appeared in front of everyone. The cold air elf was shrouded in hazy smoke, and the silver moon vine stretched out its branches. A cold moon-like mysterious pattern on its forehead lit up slightly, and its whole body exuded a clear and bright moon-like light.

Both of them are first-level evolutions, and they look very powerful at first glance.

The other members of the Royal Salute Team also released their mysterious beasts, and soon there were two first-level evolved Wild King Wolves and Electric Eagles on the field, as well as two Bamboos and Jade King Cicadas that were close to their peak state and only one step away from evolution.

As numerous mysterious beasts were released, the venue became visibly narrower.

Xia Muqing was not in a hurry and released the hurricane dog and koi fish casually.

The students outside the field saw that it was still the same two profound beasts, and their eyes were slightly disappointed: "I thought she had hidden other powerful profound beasts, but it turned out to be these two."

"It's normal for these two to be like this. They're both novice beastmasters. It's already quite impressive that they can train such a powerful hurricane dog. How much energy do you expect her to have to train other profound beasts?"

"But if these two play, Koi Fish will simply be a drag. Where does she get the confidence to change the format?"

"Are you planning to rely on the Swift Dog to carry six people?"

There were a lot of discussions coming from every corner of the crowd. Although the students acknowledged the strength of the Gale Hound, when they saw the "luxurious" lineup of the Royal Salute Team, they immediately lost their confidence in Xia Muqing.

So what if it is just the prototype of a magical skill? Potential is not completely equal to combat power.

As for the koi fish, the spectacular scene of it summoning the phantom of the dragon god yesterday has been selectively forgotten by people.

That move was indeed very powerful. Even if it could defeat a first-level evolved mystical beast by surpassing its level, how would it fight the remaining two?

Share the pressure with the Wind Dog?

Amidst a sea of ​​suspicious glances, the battle officially began.

Yuan Feiyu didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately sent his elf to release the most powerful move: "Cold Air Shock, Moon in the Mirror!"

Two bright and powerful air currents emerged, surging and intertwining with each other. The biting cold wind scraped across everyone's cheeks like a blade, and the temperature in the venue dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant.

In the falling temperature, the crescent pattern between Silver Moon Man's eyebrows floated into the air, like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, radiating a vast and clear light. Every ray of silver light contained a strong spiritual fluctuation.

In an instant, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

This interwoven power is clearly a precursor to a coordinated skill!

Below the stage, Xu Ling slapped her thigh hard, seething with anger: "Ahhh, I knew it. Yuan Feiyu has bad intentions. Turns out she has a hidden agenda!"

His two first-level evolved mystical beasts can actually use coordinated skills!

Yuan Feiyu had not used this move in the previous one-on-one duel. Looking back now, he should have been able to win the game without using it.

This also led to the fact that no one expected that he had such a killer move in his hands.

The power of the coordinated skills used by the two unevolved mystical beasts is almost as strong as the ultimate move of a first-level mystical beast. The coordination of the two first-level mystical beasts is so terrifying that Yuan Feiyu wants to directly force out the prototype of the Gale Dog's magical skills, and then eliminate it in one go!

Once the Gale Dog is defeated, the remaining mysterious beasts will besiege the Koi Fish. Wouldn't that be a crushing defeat?

After figuring it all out in just a few seconds, Xu Ling watched the fluctuations on the field spread, and his eyes suddenly turned red with nervousness.

But at this moment, a crisp voice came from the field: "Xiao Jin, swing your tail."

“Bang!”

The koi fish leaped up, and its beautiful tail fin with golden patterns slapped between the two balls of energy. As an invisible ripple spread, the fluctuations of the coordinated skills on the field suddenly stagnated.

The Frost Spirit suddenly lost control of its profound energy output, and the Silver Moon Vine fell into a moment of confusion! Coordination techniques require balance, and once their power went out of control, the powerful fluctuations suddenly became chaotic, transforming into a massive, intense whirlwind that lost its target!

Yuan Feiyu: “!!”

The others were about to cooperate in the attack, but when they saw this, they stopped and opened their eyes wide in horror.

No, what about the cooperation skills?

Their captain is so big and so strong, how come his teamwork skills are gone?

The opponent's hurricane dog was even squatting on the side watching the show, and the one who attacked was the koi fish that was treated as a mascot and had not evolved at all!

In the dead silence, Xia Muqing caught the koi fish falling from the sky and curled her lips with a smile.

"Cooperation skills? It's just as I thought," she said. "Captain Yuan, is this why you insisted on using both mystical beasts together?"

Yuan Feiyu stared at the scene blankly, her face pale and blue. "No, how did you do it? Interrupting the fluctuations of the coordinated skills... Impossible, could it be that your koi fish has evolved?"

"No, that's not right. It doesn't have any evolved Xuanwen on its body!"

...Could it be that this is the prototype of another magical skill?

Yuan Feiyu was frightened by her own thoughts and shook her head vigorously.

Xia Muqing didn't answer him, but looked over his shoulder at the others behind him: "Are you guys still going up?"

The two people behind looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and said, "Let's go! Let's fight!"

"Sirloin Kill!"

"Eagle Eye Lock!"

"Spotted Tears!"

"Listen to the wind!"

The colorful mysterious energy rose rapidly, like a flamboyant smoke, and then turned into a surging wave, rushing towards Xia Muqing fiercely.

Seeing this, the Swifthound, which was recognized as very strong, did not stand in front, but took a step back and left the battlefield to the little koi.

The koi fish jumped out of Xia Muqing's arms, golden light bursting out from its body, and all the mysterious energy in its body was concentrated on its beautiful swallow-shaped tail fin, and it swung it hard with the help of the whistling wind!

The power of "disorder" merged into the wind, accurately hitting the four energy fluctuations coming from the front!

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

"Cao Wei, what are you doing? Why did the Heavenly Wolf Killer attack me?"

"Your Spotted Tear hit my Electric Hawk!"

"My Jade King Cicada—damn it, damn it, Duan Le, you idiot! Did you see where the battle platform is?"

"Cold air—get out of the way! The cold air spirit has been hit by the Spotted Tear and can't control its own profound power!"

The field instantly became a mess. Yuan Feiyu and others were experiencing the baptism of "disorder" for the first time. They were in a panic for a while, and there were screams and curses everywhere.

On the opposite side, a pale little koi fell from the sky. The Swift Dog, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his head and chest, and instantly transformed into a giant wind beast. A majestic shadow condensed in the air, and a ball of clear wind spit out from his mouth.

“Boom!!”

…

The six confused mysterious beasts were unable to dodge and were caught in one fell swoop by the prototype of the Gale Dog's magical skill.

The "6v2" final ended in an almost absurd scene amidst the astonishment of the crowd.

After stepping down from the stage, Xu Ling and the others could not wait to surround them: "Mu Qing, Mu Qing, how did you do it? You have a hidden trump card?"

Xia Muqing thought about it and said noncommittally, "I guess so."

In fact, it cannot be said to be "hidden", because the koi fish trick was only quietly understood after learning it with Fairy Caiyun yesterday.

Yesterday, the koi fish happily followed the Swift Dog to class. During the class, it curiously asked the Fairy Caiyun why she came up with such a magical skill as "Magpie Bridge Fairy"?

After all, before advancing, the Magpie Bridge Immortal only looked good and did not have much actual attack power.

To this, Fairy Caiyun replied: [The effectiveness of a skill isn't solely measured by its attack power. If a skill can achieve a strategic goal with smaller, more subtle forces, how can it be considered weak?]

[I see that you also have a hidden power within you. It's not an offensive power, but a chaotic power that turns everything into chaos.]

"Xiao Jin, the birth of the prototype of a divine skill was a coincidence, but its power is tangible and visible. If you can fully tap into your potential and apply it in actual combat, it will be a powerful ability that is no less powerful than a divine skill. In this regard, Swift Dog is actually not as good as you..."

Speed, wind, dog.

Not like you.

The Koi Fish only heard these words in its mind, and its eyes instantly became bright. Exploiting its own potential, right? Okay, since it couldn't grasp the prototype of the magical skill, then it would maximize its potential!

So, stimulated by the fact that "the Gale Dog had acquired the prototype of its magical skill" and under the careful guidance of Fairy Caiyun, the little koi, who already had a remarkable talent, turned his excitement into strength and worked out a high-level application of "disorder" in actual combat.

It is a method of using a small force to achieve a great effect, using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, similar to the "Great Shift of the Universe" seen on the Internet. It is most suitable for use when facing multiple opponents at the same time, and the more opponents there are, the more powerful it is.

Playing 1v1, it is actually not effective.

The little koi named this move: Tianba's Secret Chaos Collapse Wave!

In response, Xia Muqing said: "...The power to activate the skill lies in the tail, right? I think we should call it 'Tail Flick'."

The koi fish who spent the whole night thinking of a name: "???"

Regardless of its name, this move is very powerful. Yesterday, when Yuan Feiyu said he wanted to do 6v2, Xia Muqing immediately thought of the little koi's new skill.

This was the real reason why she agreed so readily.

After actual combat, Xia Muqing truly understood the power of the little koi's special skill. She happily walked down the stage holding the two mysterious beasts. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her, following her steps.

On the screen, "Front High Energy Team" jumped to the top of the list, its name shining with brilliant golden light, parallel to [NO.1 Xia Muqing] on the screen next to it, making it particularly eye-catching.

Xu Ling rushed up excitedly and hugged her.

"We won, Mu Qing, we won!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, we are number one!"

…

After losing the game, the Royal Salute team felt a little embarrassed.

But when they thought about the fact that they lost to Xia Muqing, who possessed the prototype of divine skills, a second mystical beast, and mysterious skills, they suddenly didn't find it so difficult to accept.

There's nothing we can do. Who made this weirdo appear in S City during this year's competition?

And they at least finished second, so they weren't the worst-off team. A team win gives extra points to the entire team, and each of them gets 5 points...

Yuan Feiyu turned around and saw the siblings Zhao Lu and Zhao Si standing in the corner.

——Third place in the team competition, but there is no collective bonus points.

The Zhao siblings watched the entire game with red eyes, and envy and jealousy were surging in their eyes that they could not hide. Zhao Lu's nails almost broke her palms.

Just a little bit, obviously just a little bit!

They should be the ones standing on the podium, shrouded in glory, surrounded by judges and reporters!

Hiss, the president of the Jiang City Beastmaster Association had actually arrived, personally presenting awards to the winning team... The reward for the top-ranked individual was a small, exquisitely packaged gift box. From a distance, the audience couldn't clearly see what was inside. All they could see was the fluorescent light shrouding the box, representing a strong fluctuation of profound energy.

It must be a good thing. I’m so jealous!

Each of them also had a certificate of honor! A certificate of honor that said they won first place in the group!

As Xia Muqing and the others accepted the trophy and prize, the Zhao siblings stared intently, their eyes filled with envy. Suddenly, there was another commotion at the gate. Several staff members wearing armbands pushed through the crowd and headed straight for the corner.

"Zhao Lu, Zhao Si? We have evidence that you were suspected of violating regulations during the competition. Please come with us."

Zhao Lu & Zhao Si: “!!!”
