In a high-end villa in the sky city.
A young man in black with the ID Dog King from Infinite City No. 3 also saw the information about his first-round opponent.
"Lu Ran?"
He also subconsciously wanted to know who his opponent was.
If the battle list gave the Infinite City ID, then he would definitely know that Lu Ran was at the top of their Infinite City's Extraordinary Divine Pet List.
But there seems to be a connection between Lu Ran and Passerby A, but the connection is limited to one word. Without definite evidence, Dog King Zhou Mo has not thought too much about it.
"Brother, do you know who this Lu Ran is?"
He asked the "Circus Guild President ID 'Circus Director'" who was wearing a black leather jacket and leaning on the sofa looking at a laptop.
"I have investigated it for you."
"This Lu Ran took the preliminary assessment in Jinling. His pet's basic race is 'Red-Eyed Eagle Lizard'. His own energy reserves are very huge, so huge that he can create a phantom of monster energy." said the circus leader.
"One of its Red-Eyed Eagle Lizard's traits is 'Red Lightning', and the other, ominous, is the 'Electricity Storage Trait' that doubles its lightning energy reserves based on its performance."
"Also, since this red-eyed eagle lizard has never been on the Divine Pet Ranking, it means that the initial race may have reached the level of a low-level commander. After fusing the two traits, it is at least a mid-level commander. Judging from its performance in the preliminary assessment, it is very likely to be a high-level commander."
"He must be a first-level beastmaster, and his pet is level 20. Otherwise, no matter how careless Wu Le's second pet is, it would not be suppressed. Also, the opponent should have powerful skills that can burst out instantly, and is known for his skill attack power. He is a difficult opponent. You have to be careful. Moreover, there is no information about his second pet, and we don't know if it exists." The circus leader analyzed.
Zhou Mo nodded. Fortunately... From the trait selection, it seems that Lu Ran is not a particularly difficult guy. However, his basic skills must be very solid. The red lightning strengthens the physique and lightning intensity, and the power storage trait strengthens the energy scale... Of course, he doesn't think he will lose.
At this moment, if Lu Ran were here, he would definitely applaud. Very good, very good analysis. Although his analysis was extremely powerful, I suggest you don’t analyze it next time, as you are mostly wrong.
…
At that moment, as the battle list was released, all the players who had arrived at Sky City were actively investigating the information of their opponents.
Compared to Lu Ran, Fang Lan was much luckier. Her opponent was not a seeded player like Zhou Mo, who had already appeared in the previous qualifying matches many times. The information about the beastmaster and pets was already relatively clear. She could completely prepare the venom in a targeted manner and integrate it into portable weapons.
The preliminary assessment and promotion matches are over, and the most exciting ranking battle is finally about to begin. First, second, and third generation beastmasters have come to Sky City one after another, intending to watch the battle.
Whether they are from the official strategy team, management of the alliance, or experts from major private guilds, they all gathered here.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Different from the preliminary assessment and promotion matches, the final ranking battle of the freshman competition will be broadcast live to the whole country. All media outlets are ready in the stadium, and bigwigs from all walks of life are already seated in the guest seats and audience seats.
In addition to hoping to select a group of fourth-generation beastmasters worthy of training, the school also holds this competition as a publicity event, hoping that through the battles between these fourth-generation elites, more reserve beastmaster forces will emerge among the people.
At the same time, the international beast taming forces will certainly pay attention to the freshman competition of the Beast Taming University. The Xia Kingdom also wants to show its strong talent pool to the world, increase its international influence, and attract more beast taming talents from abroad.
“Ladies and gentlemen!!”
"Welcome to the final scene of the Beast Taming Competition for freshmen at Beast Taming University."
"I am the second generation beastmaster, Xu Pingze. From now on, I will be the host and referee of this freshman ranking competition!!"
The huge sky arena brought together people from all corners of the world, including teachers from various forces stationed at the Beastmaster University, as well as freshmen who were eliminated from the competition or did not participate, all came to watch the game.
In the sky, a man dressed in black and white, standing on a huge sculpture-shaped pet, held a microphone and passionately introduced himself to the audience.
“Three school leaders are here for this freshman match. They will be special guests and will explain the upcoming matches with me.”
"They are respectively the Dean of the Combat College of the Combat Department of the Beast Taming University, the second-generation beast tamer, the leader of the first team of the official strategy team, and Dean Qin Ming, who has led teams to conquer the Abyss Difficulty Secret Realm many times!"
"Dean Chu Yan, the dean of the Cultivation College of the Cultivation Department, a first-generation beastmaster, a famous cultivation master, who has assisted many first-generation beastmasters in completing the most difficult pioneering period!"
"Dean of the History Department, the first generation of beastmaster, who once broke through the secret realm and compiled a history book for the Beastmaster Empire. He has a very good understanding of the development history of the Beastmaster Empire and is known as the living beastmaster history book, Dean Kong Xi!"
"Next, they will comment on the battles between the best beastmasters of the next four generations from their respective professional perspectives!!"
As referee Xu Pingze finished speaking, many eyes turned to the podium, where three young men and women aged between 25 and 30 were sitting and smiling.
“They are all big guys…” Seeing these three people, the second and third generation beastmasters in the audience couldn’t help but sigh.
Among them, Qin Ming, the leader of the first group of the official strategy group, is known as the strongest second generation of Xia Country. He is the fourteenth person whose strength is closest to the first-line first-generation.
Chu Yan is proficient in nutrition, culinary science, cultivation, breeding... Although he is not the best in every field, he is known as a 360-degree professional. In every field, he is among the top three in Xia Country. He is a veritable all-round breeding master.
As for Kong Xi, the only female dean among the three, she is even more extraordinary. She has no interest in fighting, but is very interested in studying the history of the Beast Taming Empire. She has been stuck in leveling up and entering the breakthrough secret realm many times. She is currently the beastmaster in Xia who has entered the breakthrough secret realm the most times, as many as 21 times. She has walked in different historical stages and is familiar with various beast taming schools and systems.
The three deans did not give long speeches, but just said hello, and then Xu Pingze began to announce the official start of the freshman competition.
"Next, let's have the first match of the day. Combat freshman Zhou Mo will face Forging freshman Lu Ran!"
After Xu Pingze finished speaking, two young men, also dressed in black, walked out of the buildings on both sides of the venue and headed towards the stage.
As soon as the two of them appeared on the stage, they immediately sparked heated discussions at the scene.
"I didn't expect that the first match would be with the Dog King Zhou Mo. He has been very high profile this week and is almost becoming the leader of the fourth generation of beastmasters."
Ever since Zhou Mo was listed on the list of the most powerful divine pets, he has been active online frequently. The momentum of the No. 3 Infinite City Circus Guild once had a tendency to suppress the other three guilds. Everyone has become familiar with him because of his recent high profile.
Compared to the Dog King Zhou Mo, Lu Ran on the other side is also familiar to everyone. The first freshman who was reported to have beaten the examiner was Lu Ran. In everyone's impression, Lu Ran, like Zhou Mo, belonged to the powerful fourth generation who had been unknown before.
"Haha, that guy Zhou Mo probably doesn't know that his opponent is just an ordinary person." Among the new players, Pluto curled his lips, but even if he knew, he would not care.
After all, the pets on the Godly Pet List are not that strong anymore in everyone's eyes. They can only be considered the second tier. No matter how strong the sword dog is, it is only a high-level extraordinary race. How can it compare with the hell two-headed dog of the high-level leader race? How can it compare with the sudden death king who crushed the examiner's pet with one blow? Compared with the identity of a passerby, Lu Ran's deeds of killing the examiner's pet in one blow attracted more attention.
“This guy, his second pet is so strong, I wonder if he can beat the Dog King…” Bai Ling, who is also a seeded player, looked at Lu Ran on the field with burning eyes.
Those who knew Lu Ran were all worried for him, because the Dog King was indeed not weak.
Of course, in addition to the fourth generation, there are also a group of beastmasters from previous generations who are familiar with Lu Ran.
For example, some former beastmasters from Jinling knew that this was the famous King of the Green Sea, the fourth-generation super master who was specially granted privileges by Dr. Gu.
"We finally meet." Chu Yan also smiled on the podium. After hanging up the phone with Master Lin yesterday, he and Lu Ran had actually been in touch. The two agreed to discuss the appointment after the competition.
He wanted to laugh now. Although he didn't know how the battle between Lu Ran and the Dog King went, why did it feel so funny for a forging freshman who was a professor of the cooking department to fight against a combat freshman?
Under the attention of all parties.
Zhou Mo was already standing opposite Lu Ran and started chatting.
"Forging?"
This was the first sentence Zhou Mo said after he came on stage. He was obviously surprised that Lu Ran chose the forging major.
Not only him, in fact many viewers were quite surprised. After all, Lu Ran performed so well in the preliminary assessment, he must be a combat genius.
Learning forging? Even learning breeding sounds like it would give a greater bonus to pet breeding than learning forging.
Besides, in this situation, shouldn't we stop wasting energy and focus on fighting?
"It's forging." Lu Ran smiled without giving too much explanation.
Referee Xu Pingze looked at the two black-clad teenagers on the field and waved his hand, saying, "Both sides, get ready."
The next moment, he announced the start of the battle! On the field.
Lu Ran was calm and composed, and Zhou Mo was also calm. The two stopped talking and began to summon their pets! !
"Hellhound!!"
"King of sudden death!!"
boom!!
Both sides only summoned out one pet, and both pets had very impressive momentum.
On the side of the Sudden Death King, his red eyes stared at his opponent with a strong aura, and there seemed to be lightning flowing in his eyes as he looked into the fearful eyes of the hellhound.
The immature dragon's aura emanated from it, allowing it to face the other party's terrifying gaze without any fear.
“Roar!!!” the King of Death roared.
"UUUU!!!!" The hellhound's limbs also burned with black flames and it let out a terrifying cry. It was completely black in appearance, with two red heads and sharp teeth. It looked very scary. Just its appearance made many fourth-generation beast masters in the audience swallow their saliva.
"Both pets were trained very well!!"
The mere clash of momentum was enough to make many beastmasters of previous generations sigh in admiration.
The quality of the fourth generation of geniuses is much better than their contemporaries.
"Zhou Mo's hellhound has the characteristic of the Eye of Fear, which can make the opponent feel fear subconsciously, lose the will to fight, and even produce hallucinations..."
"But Lu Ran's red-eyed eagle lizard was able to resist with just its aura, showing no fear at all. It is obvious that Lu Ran's red-eyed eagle lizard has evolved into a dragon lizard. Its aura contains a hint of dragon might, which is the key to its fearlessness! This is a sub-dragon pet!"
At the rostrum, Chu Yan's explanation made the audience suddenly realize that this was the reason. No wonder the lizard looked so fierce, it turned out that it had evolved into a sub-dragon species.
Although purebred dragons are rare, sub-dragons are still within the reach of beastmasters.
"Do you think you can fight against its eyes of fear by relying on the blood of Asian dragons?"
On the field, Zhou Mo smiled faintly, and high up in the audience stands, the circus director also had a blank expression on his face. At that moment, the hellhound's eyes of fear were only used on the most superficial level.
You know, after the Hellhound incorporated this trait, it awakened a very terrifying racial talent!
Eyes of Hell!
It can multiply the effect of the Eye of Fear several times, creating a terrifying, materialized illusion of hell, and attacking the opponent's spirit! "Eye of Hell!!"
"This, you can't defend against it just by having a strong physique and lots of energy!"
"Ugh!!!" After the order was given, the four eyes of the hellhound suddenly changed from the previous darkness to a blood-red pattern like a skull. At the same time, the situation on the field changed drastically, and countless spectators were shocked.
In an instant, the venue became blurred and the ground turned dark red, as if the sky had collapsed, and countless dark red air currents appeared in the air.
It was like forming a hell area, causing many people to feel nervous.
"This is a materialized illusion effect. This hellhound has great talent and will hopefully create its own 'domain skills' in the future." Qin Ming commented slightly on the podium.
Hearing his words, many second and third generation beastmasters were surprised. Domain skills are the ultimate killer moves that can be created by pets after integrating all their powers. Currently, only 14 people in Xia Country, including Qin Ming, know how to use them. Zhou Mo actually has such potential? So, Lu Ran and the others are in danger?
"Zhou Mo used this trick to make the examiner's pet lose consciousness!!"
"After this scene appeared, the examiner's second favorite went crazy, as if he was in some great terror."
"This move is so weird."
Such an unconventional materialized mental attack was difficult for even some third-generation Beast Tamers, let alone fourth-generation Beast Tamers. Lu Teng, Yang Xishuai and others from Green Sea City became nervous for Lu Ran.
Does that lizard have any means of defending against mental attacks?
Strong scales don't mean strong mental defense! Fang Lan, the pig farmer and others stared at the venue. They thought there shouldn't be any problems. After all, Lu Ran didn't even send out General Ha...
The next moment.
"Boom!" Lu Ran and his men began to fight back. The loud noise was like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, like thunder falling! In the center of the hell illusion, the red lightning in the eyes of the sudden death king became more and more obvious.
Being in the illusion, it basically felt nothing, and it felt even scarier than Mr. Ha's dragon-slaying sword intent.
Don't even think about killing it instantly with this level of attack!
“Roar!!!!” The next moment, a shocking dragon roar was heard in the hell illusion. The terrifying dragon roar made the hell illusion shake violently, as if it would fall apart at the next moment.
The huge red lightning, accompanied by a roar, went up from the body of the Sudden Death King and exploded directly, covering his entire body. The interweaving of red and black was domineering and handsome. The powerful momentum made the Hellhound and Zhou Mo pause. They didn't understand why the other party could still roar so domineeringly under such strong mental suppression! ! The strong deterrence was revealed from the Sudden Death King!
“This is…”
Suddenly, the expressions of many experienced beastmasters at the scene changed. They actually felt something similar to the real dragon's might from the king who died suddenly at this moment.
What's going on.
"What a strong will! Could this be..." Dean Kong Xi showed a surprised expression.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle————
The explosion of thunder and lightning was just the beginning. Red lightning continued to emerge from the body and flow between the scales. Soon, people saw the almost materialized black and red wings spread out from both sides of the King of Death.
In the blink of an eye, the Death King seemed to have evolved into another species, like a thunder dragon cub, grabbing lightning with its claws, completing the change of form!
"roar!!"
The Sudden Death King looked at his opponent again in the form of a dragon, shocking the entire audience.
"Dragon's artistic conception!!!"
At this moment, the three deans, the referee, and the beastmasters in the audience all showed extremely surprised expressions.
It turned out to be the dragon's artistic conception shaping technique!
The artistic conception of dragon is one of the rarest and most powerful artistic conceptions. At present, even the sub-dragon pets in Xia country have very few people who can master it. This dragon lizard has such a monstrous talent! No, Chu Yan thought of Lu Ran's identity as a dragon chef. The monstrous one might not be this dragon lizard, but Lu Ran himself. He looked deep and was glad that Lu Ran could come to the Cultivation Academy to teach!
After being equipped with the Thunder Dragon Armor, King Sudden Death became much calmer towards the illusion of hell. He was not affected at all. Instead, his dragon might emanated, causing Zhou Mo and the hellhound to change their expressions.
"What a joke, artistic conception skills?!" Seeing that the Eye of Hell had no reaction to the dragon lizard, Zhou Mo couldn't accept it and gave the next order in a panic.
Boom!!! The dark red dark flames turned into fireballs and smashed towards the King of Death. The King of Death wanted to dodge, but there were too many attacks and there was no way to dodge. He could only let the attacks fall on him! !
Boom boom boom! Countless fireballs hit the King of Death. Then, a scene that made Zhou Mo even more upset appeared. The Thunder Dragon body on the King of Death was not affected at all. After the explosion, it was still intact.
The defensive power is astonishingly strong, just like the real body of a dragon.
“Roar!!!” The Sudden Death King roared with his mouth grinning. Although he had wings, he just walked towards the enemy step by step.
Zhou Mo and the hellhound were under increasing pressure.
"Keep attacking!!" Under Zhou Mo's command, the Death King kept getting closer, and the Hellhound kept spitting out hellfire fireballs, but they could never cause any damage to the Death King.
Many people were surprised at the power of King Sudden Death's body, which was shaped by his artistic conception.
Seeing that the King of Sudden Death was getting closer and closer, Zhou Mo gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
Red waves burst out from his body, and the hellhound also began to resonate. He originally wanted to hide his trump card until the end, but at this moment, Zhou Mo had to use it in advance.
Energy coordination beast taming skills!
It can improve the energy control of pets amazingly! As soon as his beast control skill was used, two energy balls, one black and one red, were continuously compressed and merged in front of the mouth of the hellhound, forming a dark red energy ball like Tai Chi.
One, two, three, ten times...
The energy bullet with ten times the energy compression and dual system directly emits a terrifying power fluctuation, which is completely different from the previous attack! ! Boom! ! ! !
The energy ball was released directly by the Hellhound, and hit the Thunder Dragon cub King Sudden Death fiercely. With a "boom", before the explosion, people saw that King Sudden Death's Thunder Dragon body finally cracked! ! "It worked!!" Seeing this, Zhou Mo was extremely surprised.
There were also viewers who were shocked by Zhou Mo's sudden outburst, which turned out to be a ten-fold energy compression technique. The hellhound actually mastered such a method.
Many freshmen had solemn expressions and felt that Zhou Mo was extremely threatening.
Darkness, fire, lightning... horrible energies intertwined together, erupting into an unparalleled aftermath. The two-headed hellhound in front of the sudden death king was blown away by the aftermath, and tumbled several times in the air before landing on the ground.
However, just when Zhou Mo and the hellhound thought they had finally defeated their opponent, a scene that made them feel fear and despair just appeared.
I saw... the Thunder Dragon body of the King of Death was blown up, but the King of Death himself inside the body was like nothing happened at this time, with only some tiny cracks on his scales, and he stood calmly in the center of the aftermath.
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
The King of Death continued to approach the Hellhound, which had just released its ultimate move and was still a little slow in reaction. During this process, the Thunder Dragon Armor on his body condensed and took shape again. In addition, a huge lightning shield appeared in his hand!!!
With Zhou Mo's incredulous eyes, the King of Sudden Death directly used his shield... plus the domineering power that he had just transformed from the damage he had endured, to slam it hard onto the two-headed hellhound! ! BANG! ! ! !
"Awoo————" The two-headed hellhound had a terrified expression. Accompanied by raging red lightning, it was smashed away and fell heavily on a farther field.
Until now, it still didn't quite understand why its attacks were ineffective against this guy. There was no information about this guy's strong defense! ! What, the information was false? !
"impossible!"
Zhou Mo was at a loss for words and his vision almost went dark.
Before today's duel, he had thought of many situations, but he never expected that his pet could not even break the opponent's defense.
There was no way, there was no way at all, what on earth was going on with the opponent's defense! ! Not to mention him, even his second-generation president brother had an incredible expression and looked at the venue.
In addition, the expressions of other players in the ranking competition, including Pluto and Bai Ling, are now frozen.
Although they knew that Lu Ran was no simple man, they were still a little surprised to see him crush the trump card of Zhou Mo, the favorite to win the championship, so overwhelmingly.
A monster? The favorite to win the championship was killed just like that? ? "This... this... this is simply unbelievable!!!"
At this time, Xu Pingze, the referee, was finally shocked and said, "Lu Ran's pet has too terrifying defense!!"
"Not only did he ignore the Hellhound's multiple attacks, but in the end, he even had no effect on the opponent's energy compression technique and fought back calmly!!"
"What is the limit of its defense?"
Following the referee's voice, the guests on the rostrum also echoed.
"It's a bit scary indeed... Is this really a fourth-generation beastmaster?" Dean Kong Xi couldn't help but speak up on the rostrum: "Whether it's Blue Star or the Beast Taming Empire, this dragon lizard is the most defensive pet of the leading race I've ever seen at level 10 to 20."
"What an upset in the first match." Qin Ming said subconsciously. Zhou Mo was undoubtedly very strong and was definitely the favorite to win the championship, but... he was defeated so easily.
This Lu Ran is so strong! "Don't you have a second pet?"
At this time, Lu Ran was still wondering why Zhou Mo stayed there. As a first-level beastmaster, did he only contract one pet? ? "Fuck, do you have a second one?————" At this time, Zhou Mo wanted to curse. Breeding a hellhound took a lot of his energy. He didn't plan to choose a second pet randomly. With the mentality of "better to have nothing than to have something bad", he wanted to choose a high-quality pet from the freshman rewards, but he never expected that he would be beaten so badly in the first game.
At this moment, he once doubted his own strength among this group of freshmen. How could he be made so embarrassed by a freshman from the forging department?
The hellhound had been knocked unconscious by the shield, and there was no doubt that the outcome was decided.
"Ha ha ha ha."
On the stage of the boiling audience seats, the circus director gripped the railing tightly. At this time, a laugh came from behind him.
"It seems that Lu Ran will become the nightmare of other freshmen. He is a circus player. Your brother is in a miserable situation." President Xingchen appeared at some point and said with a smile.
"Xingchen." The circus leader looked at him and said, "You are from Jinling. Do you know this Lu Ran?"
Xingchen raised his lips, looked at his old rival, and said, "He is just a passerby in the No. 3 Infinite City, his initial pet... but that sword dog, facing you, not only did he not send out his initial pet, he also did not use his beast control skills. You guys lost completely..."
"He is just an ordinary person?" The circus leader was shocked.
"Why do you think he applied for the forging department? It must be to forge better weapons for his first pet... He already has such a strong second pet, but he didn't give up his first pet. Maybe, in his opinion, that first pet has greater potential than this second pet... But at this rate, can anyone force his first pet to come out?"
Hearing this, the circus leader was upset. He looked at his brother on the field, not knowing how to comfort him... What kind of monster is his opponent? Why does Xingchen seem to be gloating? He remembered that Xingchen's brother Pluto was also suppressed by passers-by many times! Whether it was the list or the public secret realm!
The circus leader looked at Xingchen. So, you are looking for balance from me? (End of this chapter)
