Chapter 368 The Final One The second match had ended. It was both within and without people’s expectations. Everyone knew that Su Lingyue was a mighty participant. But the fact that she could score an easy win with the exact same set of skills still came as a surprise. Ye Longtian was just like Qin Shaotian. Both were instantly overpowered. After Su Lingyue’s turn, the next ones up were Xu Kuang and Mu Yuanshou. Xu Kuang let the Dark Dragon Hound take the lead. After going through the Heaven’s Tests, the Dark Dragon Hound’s combat strength had sharply increased to 9.9! The Dark Dragon Hound had a more profound energy reserve and could release skills faster than before. As a result, Mu Yuanshou’s battle pets were completely crushed. The battle ended fast. There was no intensity as everyone had anticipated. Xu Kuang prevailed over Mu Yuanshou. That was beyond everyone’s expectation. The overall estimation had been that Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou were two promising candidates, but as things turned out, their performance was just fine. Of course, some of the saner audiences could tell that it wasn’t because Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou were not qualified enough. It was because Su Lingyue and Xu Kuang’s battle pets were threatening. Faced with those two battle pets, Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou’s beasts didn’t even have a chance to show their abilities. On the other hand, their matches would have been marvelous if they were fighting other participants from their same rank. “The Dark Dragon Hound...” 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 The family heads, Yan Bingyue, and Yin Fengxiao... All of them looked grim-faced and shocked. They had perceived something strangely terrifying about the Dark Dragon Hound; it was a sixth-rank pet that could easily defeat a ninth-rank dragon. The Dark Dragon Hound was hiding something that was quite mysterious and spooky, something that even they would feel stressed and afraid of. This battle pet is dangerous! For the first time, Yan Bingyue had a worried look and the smile on Yin Fengxiao’s face had been replaced with a frown. Neither had expected that they would encounter such a scary battle pet in this tiny place. More importantly, how could a battle pet with a sixth-rank bloodline demonstrate such amazing abilities? Or, was this not a Dark Dragon Hound, but something that looked like one? ce were a After Xu Kuang finished his battle, the names of the Top Three were announced. Right after, there was a chance for the losing participants to challenge anyone of the first three. The victor would stay within the Top Three. This challenge was not merely an evaluation of battle strength but also of judgment. No one stepped out to challenge the Top Three. Ever since his defeat, Qin Shaotian kept his head down, continuously staring at his sword. He never took another look at the match. Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou remained quiet on their seats; neither planned to challenge three tough people. Apart from Yan Bingyue, both Su Lingyue and Xu Kuang boasted terrifying and undefeatable battle pets. As for Yan Bingyue, she was a monster. At this moment, the three would draw lots to compete for the winning, runner-up, and second runner-up spots, and then the losing parties would compete for the fourth and fifth places. Everyone turned their attention to the large screen. Since there were three, according to the rules, two would fight first and one would take a bye. The one in the bye would fight the losing party and then the winning party if the one in the bye came out victorious. On the other hand, if the one in the bye was defeated in the first challenge, he or she would take third place, and the first three places would be determined. Everyone held their breaths and the results were announced. Su Lingyue against Yan Bingyue! Xu Kuang was in the bye! Seeing this result, Su Lingyue was visibly stunned. She couldn’t help but dart a glance at the girl, only to receive a cold glare that was void of all feeling. Su Lingyue felt her heart had skipped a beat. She looked away out of instinct. “Well?” Yan Bingyue frowned but soon, she believed she understood something. A mocking grin appeared on her face. Xu Kuang gave Su Lingyue a pep talk, “Good luck. If you can beat her, you will be the champion because I’ll resign when my turn to fight you comes.” Su Lingyue was surprised to hear his words. “Are you seriously going to resign?” He was very close to winning the glory of the championship. “Yeah.” Xu Kuang did not seem to mind at all. “I’ve talked about this with my teacher. As a man, every word I say carries weight. Just try your best and spare no effort. We must let that kid who came out from nowhere know that not just anyone can become No.1 in the Longjiang Base City!” Su Lingyue nodded to him slightly. She could only smile bitterly on the inside. Try my best? The best I can do is not slowing Frosty down. Then she thought of the upcoming battle. She shook her head and got rid of all the messy thoughts on her mind. If Xu Kuang was serious about resigning, then the next battle would be the defining match! If she won, she would have fulfilled Su Ping’s wish! She would have delivered a good result! She took a deep breath and put on a serious look. It had been a thrilling journey for her. On the stage, she felt she was just an onlooker, a puppet without any actual sense of participation. That was exactly why she was considering things with trepidation. She was carrying a heavy load but she was unable to do anything in person. She had to leave it up to fate. She had been depressed because of that feeling, almost bordering on a mental breakdown. But all of that was going to end. All of that could end if Frosty could win this last battle! Su Lingyue stood up and stepped to the stage, following the judge’s command. Everyone gazed at her as she stood up, including Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou. The two of them were wearing grave expressions. This upcoming battle was going to be earthshaking! Qin Shaotian, who had been staring at his sword, raised his head and looked at Su Lingyue. Su Lingyue noticed that from the corner of her eye. She looked over, only to see him nodding to her and moving his lips. He said ‘good luck’. Su Lingyue was experiencing a surge of unspeakable feelings. Was it passion or excitement? Fear? Hope? She was unable to tell. One thing she did know for sure was that she had to win! Even if she had nothing, even if she was useless, and even if all she could do was beg and pray. But she had to win! As soon as Fei Yanbo saw the results of the draw, he said to Su Ping, “It’s your sister’s turn.” Su Ping nodded. He saw that. He cast his glance at the girl sitting in the front row. He was concerned. The girl surely concealed some of her strength when she was fighting Qin Shaotian. After all, considering her strength, it was unlikely that she merely had three battle pets. The results of this battle would be up to how much strength the girl was hiding. The Moonfrost Dragon had strength equal to the upper position of the titled rank. A pet like that could win the global championship and that, of course, would also be dependent on the battle pet warrior. Since this was at the base city level, a pet alone would do. Still, this outsider had shaken Su Ping’s confidence. He couldn’t help but feel afraid and worried. At the same time, Yan Bingyue stood up. “Lady Yan, be careful,” Yin Fengxiao whispered to her, which was the first time. Zhao Wuji was also wearing a concerned look. That dragon had proven to be quite threatening because even he had felt danger. He never thought that he would see such a pet in the Longjiang Base City. “Don’t worry.” Yan Bingyue remained in her typical calm state and there was even the hint of a thin smile that indicated she was in a good mood. Yin Fengxiao stared blankly at her. He knew that she would only look like this when she had found qualified prey. Otherwise, few things could stir up her mood like this.
