Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Vehicle Overturned? Doesn’t Exist (Seeking First Subscription)
Translator: 549690339
An hour quickly passed, and Bai Qi emerged from the secret realm on time, walking solidly onto the ring.
Once was enough for Sword Flying; too much might well backfire.
The most critical point was that he indeed felt rather nauseous from flying by sword.
After Bai Qi entered the ring, Gu Shan finally arrived, his face showing no signs of fatigue.
After demonstrating his Dual Talent, Cui Ming personally found Gu Shan and helped him recover his physical strength, all with the intent of defeating Bai Qi in the final battle.
If he could take the first place in the two-city joint exam and then slightly refine him, Gu Shan could undoubtedly become a symbolic figure in Lingxi City.
Perhaps, in the future, Lingxi City could have another legend?
The more Cui Ming thought about it, the more excited he became, well below him, Gu Shan also began to look forward to his future.
He was naturally quite dull and with Zhang Kai, a Silent Talent holder among his peers, his Dual Talent could not be displayed well, so he did not talk about it much.
However, after this chance to show his mettle, he was enjoying the treatment once received by Zhang Kai, how could he not be excited.
If he could train these four pets, no, train more pets, combined with his Elemental Resonance Talent, who among his peers would stand a chance against him!
Thinking of this, Gu Shan’s face lost its previous dullness, replaced by boundless daydreaming.
Looking at Gu Shan, who was grinning foolishly, Bai Qi couldn’t help but be aware that this fellow must have been deceived by the pie Cui Ming had painted for him.
However, this fellow certainly had potential, fitting perfectly the template of a commoner’s genius protagonist.
“Ahem, can we begin now?’1
At Bai Qi’s reminder, Gu Shan quickly responded, turning back into his usual dull self and rapidly reaching his battle position.
“Both contestants are in position, the competition begins now!”
As soon as Mo Guan’s voice fell, Gu Shan quickly summoned his four pets and prepared to activate his Elemental Resonance Talent.
During the one-hour break, Cui Ming not only helped him recover his physical strength but also gave him all of Bai Qi’s data.
According to the data, Bai Qi’s main pet, the Ice Shadow Swordsman, was speedily adept, and the Arctic Ice Wolf seemed to be good at spiritual attacks, so to defeat Bai Qi, his only choice was to initiate an attack before Bai Qi, and win the match in one fell swoop.
To this end, Cui Ming even secretly stuffed Gu Shan a Spirit Power Strengthening Necklace to speed up his skill launch.
“It’s the same old trick. Don’t you know that the same moves are useless against some people?”
Seeing Gu Shan, as he had expected, wanting to launch a quick attack, Bai Qi grinned and Alpha quickly plunged its arms into the ground. The ground under the paws of Gu Shan’s four pets began to rumble.
“Not good, quickly gather together!”
Gu Shan sensed something wrong and instinctively wanted his pets to gather, but he was one step too slow.
A cluster of bones pierced the ground and rapidly formed four Bone Cages that forcibly separated Gu Shan’s four pets. The entwining Shadow Department Power made it impossible for the four pets to struggle free in a short time. They could only watch as the Bone Cages slowly dragged them further apart.
“Damn it!”
Seeing his four pets separated, Gu Shan became anxious. With a hardened heart, he forcefully activated his Elemental Resonance Talent.
Although they were a little far apart, as long as the four pets launched their attack together, he could blend the attacks.
The only problem was that he might become seriously ill afterward.
“Still thinking about turning the tables? Sorry, you’re one step too late again.”
Spying the Elemental Shock emanating from the mouths of the four pets, Bai Qi’s face expressed a satisfying smile. He intentionally dispelled the Shadow Department Power on the Bone Cages.
“Has Bai Qi gone mad?”
Seeing Bai Qi not only not stopping Gu Shan but actively dispelling the restraining Shadow Department Power, Lu Yuan and the others were somewhat baffled, only Han Wei, who had the keenest eyes, saw something. “On the Bone Cages are, runes?”
As soon as his voice faded, the Husky, who had been crouching on one side, suddenly stretched out its claw and pressed it on Alpha. A red Blast Power swiftly followed Alpha’s skeleton all the way to the Bone Cage, lighting up the runes on the Bone Cage.
Fire attribute rune, explosion.
Stimulated by the Blast Power, the densely tucked Explosion Runes on the Bone Cage were activated instantly, and Alpha also cut off its connection with the Bone Cage in response.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Followed by four successive explosions, the four Bone Cages blasted open, thick smoke completely enveloped the ring, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
However, everyone in the competition knew the result.
Bearing the brunt of such an explosion, Gu Shan’s four pets couldn’t withstand it with their level.
And even if they did, they wouldn’t have much fighting power left.
As expected, once the smoke cleared, Gu Shan’s four pets were already sprawled out on the floor. The Water Cannon Turtle that had relatively higher defense could barely move, while the other three pets had completely lost their combat abilities.
“I lost.”
Looking at his pets in such a sorry state, Gu Shan was somewhat unable to accept it for a while. However, he was naturally someone who did not reveal his emotions. After a brief moment of shock, he came to his senses and actively conceded.
“I appreciate it.”
Seeing Gu Shan conceding, Bai Qi also responded with a bow.
The level of Gu Shan’s pets was still too low. If only the Pet Beast Growth Level or the race level were a little higher, it would not have fallen to the first combined strike of Alpha and Beta.
But it must be said that this combination was really quite good.
Bone Cage Explosion!
This was the codename that Schuck had chosen for their joint action, and Alpha readily accepted it.
As for Beta, this combined attack required a high level of control over Blast Power to ensure that an unstable explosion did not occur, so Schuck had zapped him unconscious in advance.
“The match has ended, Bai Qi versus Gu Shan, Bai Qi is the winner, I declare the champion of this united examination ranking competition from Gusu City is Bai Qi!”
Seeing the two end their fight harmoniously, Mo Guan nodded in satisfaction and loudly announced the result of the match. After a short silence, a thunderous applause erupted in the arena.
This ranking competition had been full of unexpected twists and turns.
First, two favored champions were eliminated, followed by the surprising emergence of Gu Shan as a dark horse. Just when it seemed this dark horse was about to make his move, he was killed almost instantly by Bai Qi.
The ticket price for this match had been well worth it!
Looking at President Qin, whose mouth was curled into a grin from ear to ear, Mo Guan laughed and said, “Old Qin, you’ve found a promising newcomer this time around. I look forward to seeing his performance in the special training.” “Oh, don’t mention it, Zhang Kai and Gu Shan have much more potential than this kid.”
President Qin waved his hand at his words, forcefully praising Zhang Kai and Gu Shan, but anyone who wasn’t blind could see that he was just making polite remarks.
What is potential?
Potential is the ability that has not been developed yet. It may become strong once developed, but it means nothing if it isn’t developed.
Besides, who said Bai Qi lacked potential?
As the others left it unspoken, Mo Guan started to announce the rest of the rankings. The top 20 candidates of the qualifying tournament, one by one, came to the center of the ring, waiting to receive their professional Beast Master’s licenses from the presidents.
As the top 20 in the combined examination of the two cities, the licenses of these Beast Masters were to be personally granted by the chairman of the association, which was quite an honor.
As for Bai Qi, the champion, he was responsible for Mo Guan, the referee of this ranking competition.
“Congratulations. I hope to see your amazing performance again next time.”
With a smile, Mo Guan gives Bai Qi his professional Beast Master’s license as well as the championship medal of the combined examination of the two cities.
“Thank you, I will work hard.”
Bai Qi solemnly accepted the medal and the license, feeling somewhat excited.
Finally, he had officially stepped into the door of becoming a Beast Master.
Well, let’s set a small goal first.
Earn a billion first?
Wait, the thirty percent endorsement fee for two pets from the Elf House, that doesn’t seem to count as a goal.
Hurry up and find a partner?
Phew, a real man needs only his pets, not a woman in his heart!
Become a legend before graduation?!
This is doable!
Bai Qi silently set his next goal, completely missing what the two presidents had said.
Soon, the award ceremony ended and the candidates began to leave.
“Phew, finally, the exams are over. I’m going to relax back at home.”
Han Wei stretched and asked, “Gao Cheng, do you guys wanna come along?”
Gao Cheng nodded with a broad smile on his face.
“Great, I plan to rest for a couple of days too, then think about my upcoming schedule.”
Even though he was defeated in the first round of the ranking competition, at least he had managed to obtain his professional Beast Master’s license and ranking.
Moreover, the person who beat him was this year’s champion Bai Qi, so he didn’t mind at all.
Han Wei put his arm around Bai Qi’s shoulders and said, “Bai Qi, are you coming? You won the combined examination of the two cities. We should celebrate, right?”
Bai Qi shook his head and said, “I’ll pass, I have a lot of things to do.”
Alpha’s mythical material was about to be ready. He needed to prepare in advance.
Old Qin also needed him to experiment with the general application of runes, which would require a lot of time to research.
Schuck and Beta’s combat system also needed to be readjusted and redistributed.
He also needed to look into the energy system and regional distribution in the secret realm, as well as research on the cultivation of Angel’s Flowers.
Oh right, he would also need to go to the association’s headquarters for special training in a while…
Thinking about all this, Bai Qi instantly felt a headache coming on.
This was a recipe for sudden death.
He had to buy some supplements to strengthen his body.
With that thought in mind, Bai Qi quietly took out his phone, logged into the association’s internal website, and began to search for higher-level supplements.
Although Old Qin’s Light Elf was powerful, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents, so he needed to have supplements ready.
But evolving into a Lord might consume a lot of his energy instantly, and he might not have time to consume items that need to be chewed, like the Angel Fruit. It would be best to have something that didn’t require him to administer it himself.
Should he consider getting an IV drip?
