There was still a trace of heat lingering in the air.
The impact of the explosion silenced the audience for a moment!
The numerous competitors in the staging area all revealed shocked expressions. Even a few of them had a slight change in expression, revealing a somewhat grave expression.
On the field, Yu Weihan's head was buzzing. The shocking scene that remained on her retina made her mind go blank for a moment.
After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and looked at the beautiful girl on the other side of the stage. At this moment, she felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
She was truly frightened.
She was scared out of her wits!
For a moment, she thought she was going to die. If she hadn't missed her target, she would never have been able to survive that horrifying energy.
"What … is that attack?"
"Isn't that a dragon that has just reached adulthood? How can it be so powerful?"
Yu Weihan stared at the girl on the other side of the stage, confused.
She had thought that the odds would be six to four. She would have six and the girl would have four.
But the result was 10: 0.
She had won without a doubt!
If it weren't for the girl's mercy, she would have been killed instantly.
The gap between them was unbelievable!
"Are you okay?"
A man flew over to Yu Weihan. It was the judge, a titled battle pet warrior. He was able to stop fights that had gone out of control and save contestants.
After all, almost all the contestants who had made it this far were elites, the mainstay of the base city. It was not worth sacrificing them for a trial.
As for the contestants who had been killed at the branch venues, that was a different story.
Yu Weihan came back to her senses as the judge was a titled battle pet warrior. She felt safer. She shook her head. "I'm fine."
As soon as she saw the judge, she knew that he was the one who had set up the astral shields.
She was grateful to him.
"Do you want to admit defeat? The gap between you two is too big." The judge asked. He was giving Yu Weihan a chance. If she chose to continue, he would just be a bystander for the rest of the battle.
After all, an ignorant fool was not an elite.
The judge's blunt words made Yu Weihan turn pale. She felt humiliated and pained. But the thought of that horrifying scene made her tremble.
She wasn't sure that she could survive the next attack.
"I admit defeat …"
Her voice was hoarse. She was struggling to speak.
She seemed to have used up all her strength to say those words. She felt she was on the verge of collapsing.
The referee's expression softened a little. He nodded and rose into the air to announce to the audience that Yu Weihan had admitted defeat.
He used astral powers. He didn't use a loudspeaker but his voice was still heard.
Phew!
The audience cheered!
At the staging area.
Liu's family.
Everyone wore a grave look, especially Liu Jianxin. He frowned. He didn't know that in his group, apart from Qin Shaotian, the woman he had neglected was also a tough nut to crack.
.........................................................................
Liu Jianxin was surprised to hear this. Then, he came back to his senses. The haze in his heart was lifted and a smile crept onto his face.
The more powerful the girl was, the better. She could help them find out more about Qin Shaotian.
"Sir, isn't the Moonfrost Dragon a dragon of the ice family? How come it can use skills of the light family?" a member of the Liu family asked. He couldn't figure it out.
One had to know that it wasn't that easy to use a skill that was beyond one's class.
Inside the bones of dragons of the ice family was pure ice energy. To use skills of other families, dragons could rely on their strong spirit to create some low-level skills. But for a ninth-rank skill like this, the dragon would have to have a large reserve of energy and use the dragon's own energy as a medium to communicate with the energy in the void.
That was to say, the Moonfrost Dragon must have a large reserve of light energy, which would weaken the dragon's abilities of the ice family.
"This is a mutated Moonfrost Dragon. The skills it has learned can't be predicted with common sense," Liu Qingfeng explained.
Judging from the Moonfrost Dragon's appearance, he could tell that the Moonfrost Dragon had mutated greatly. The golden scales and the silver scales on the Moonfrost Dragon were almost the same.
"I see." The members of the Liu family understood.
…
At the same time.
The Qin Family.
Qin Shaotian smiled. "This is getting more and more interesting. I think she will make it to the Top 10, or even the Top 5. I wonder, between her and Liu Jianxin, who will be able to compete for a spot for the losers?"
The losers of each group would have a chance to fight against the losers of other groups for a spot for the Top 10.
Qin Shaotian had thought that there would be a winner between him and Liu Jianxin in Group D. As far as he was concerned, Liu Jianxin would be the loser. He didn't expect that someone would throw a wrench in the works.
As such, Qin Shaotian was looking forward to the result of the battle.
The three people standing next to Qin Shaotian forced a bitter smile. They didn't know that the competition would be so fierce in the group that their young master had been assigned to.
Both the girl and Liu Jianxin were capable of making it to the Top 10, or even the Top 5.
However, since they were in the same group, one of them was destined to be eliminated.
There was a protection mechanism for the losers but only one person could be protected.
…
The question that the Qin family had thought of was quickly thought of by the other contestants present. Even some of the audience members who were well-versed in the rules of the competition had thought of this.
For a moment, everyone was looking forward to the finals of Group D.
In the staging area, Su Lingyue and Yu Weihan went back to their seats.
Ye Hao, Su Yanying, and Luo Fengtian all wore complicated expressions as Su Lingyue came back. Luo Fengtian, on the other hand, was shocked and confused.
How long had it been since the exchange match?
Less than a month!
He had seen how powerful the girl was during the exchange match. Back then, he had tried his best and still, he was defeated.
But at the moment, she was able to defeat Yu Weihan.
She was growing faster than the speed of light!
That being said, Luo Fengtian realized the crux of the matter. He remembered that Su Lingyue didn't use the dragon during the exchange match. But she did now.
Considering Su Lingyue's performance, Luo Fengtian could tell that she was relying on the dragon.
Of course, Luo Fengtian couldn't rule out the possibility that she was hiding other battle pets. But that was highly unlikely. After all, the dragon was too powerful to be her secondary pet.
That famous ninth-rank skill of the light family was something that few people could withstand. That was enough to guarantee her a place in the Top 10, or even the Top 5.
Of course, that was if there were no other two monsters in Group D.
Luo Fengtian's eyes glowed with excitement. He was looking forward to the upcoming matches in Group D.
"Your dragon … is really something."
Su Yanying forced a smile after Su Lingyue sat down.
She wasn't shocked. Instead, she felt relieved.
She knew that Su Lingyue was Su Ping's sister. That made a lot of sense.
Even her Lightning Rat could be trained to be so powerful in Su Ping's store, not to mention a rare dragon that was ranked among the Top 10.
If the dragon's combat strength was as enhanced as the Lightning Rat's, then she didn't think it was necessary for her to continue with the rest of the competition. As far as she was concerned, not even the two most popular contenders for the championship could stop the dragon!
Of course, she knew that was unlikely. The reason why the Lightning Rat could be so powerful was that the Lightning Rat's rank and bloodline were low. That was why the Lightning Rat could be so powerful.
On the other hand, dragons were powerful creatures. It would be difficult for them to gain such a powerful boost.
Su Lingyue sat down. She saw someone waving at her from the distance. It was Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang grinned and gave her a thumbs-up as if to say, "No wonder you're my senior aunt."
Su Lingyue rolled her eyes at him and calmed down. She turned around and looked at the Liu family and the Qin Family. Both of them were talking to their own family members or looking at other families. None of them were looking at her.
Su Lingyue felt frustrated. She became more serious.
At the same time, Yu Weihan came back slowly. She lowered her head and hid her expression in the shadows.
Luo Fengtian could tell that she was in low spirits. He comforted her, "You've done well to make it this far. I think I'll come and keep you company later. Go back and practice harder."
Yu Weihan's body trembled slightly. She looked up at him, bit her lip, and nodded.
That being said, Luo Fengtian's consolation didn't lessen the pain in her heart. She could accept it if she were to lose to Qin Shaotian or Liu Jianxin. After all, she had never thought about competing with those freaks for the Top 10.
But she had lost to Su Lingyue, a first-year student.
She felt she had lost all her self-esteem.
"I'm sorry," a gentle voice said.
Yu Weihan looked up. It was the winner, Su Lingyue. But there was no trace of pride on her face. She didn't sound arrogant at all. Instead, she sounded sincere.
Sincere? Yu Weihan bit her teeth.
"It's okay. I can afford to lose!" Yu Weihan took a deep breath. "Su Lingyue, good luck. I heard that you're going to win the championship. I will cheer for you."
Su Lingyue looked at her. She couldn't tell if Yu Weihan was speaking the truth or mocking her.
Since she couldn't tell, Su Lingyue nodded. "I will."
In her heart, she silently said, "I definitely will!"
She knew what failure meant. It was not the loss of honor, but her life. There was nothing she could do on the stage. That being said, she was carrying the safety of her family on her shoulders!
Yu Weihan's lips twitched. She turned her head away and said nothing else.
Su Yanying was surprised as well. She felt Su Lingyue was sharper than the last time they met in the barren area.
Battles and competitions were the fastest way to grow.
Su Yanying was beginning to understand why the academy wanted the students to participate in the Elite League. Even if they failed, they could still gain a lot.
As Su Lingyue and Yu Weihan left the stage, the second round of matches in Group D began.
This time, it was Qin Shaotian and a disciple of the Mu family.
The disciple of the Mu family was a core member of the Mu family. He was not the future family head, but as long as he didn't die, he would become a pillar of support for the older generation of the Mu family.
At the beginning of the match, the disciple of the Mu family made some remarks, but Qin Shaotian didn't seem to be interested. He summoned the seventh-rank battle pet that he had used in the hunting contest.
This was a battle pet of the wind family. It had insect wings like an elf and a humanoid body. Its dark and shiny eyes took up half of its face. Its upper body was like that of a human girl's. It had a slightly swollen chest that was wrapped in two petals, which made it quite charming.
The seventh-rank Wind Siren.
Among the seventh-rank wind pets, the Wind Siren wasn't particularly outstanding. It didn't have many skills. The only valuable thing about the Wind Siren was its inherited skill, Wind Amplification.
The Wind Amplification skill could double the speed of the battle pet. When used with a pet that specialized in speed, such as the Supersonic Bee or the Demon Blade, the Wind Amplification Skill could cause unimaginable damage.
The disciple of the Mu family didn't expect that Qin Shaotian would use a seventh-rank battle pet.
He summoned three battle pets at once and all of them had ninth-rank bloodlines. His main battle pet was a dragon with a ninth-rank bloodline, the Frost-Winged Ice Dragon.
The Frost-Winged Ice Dragon was a type of dragon of the ice family. It wasn't among the top ten dragons of the ice family, but it was one of the more popular dragons of the ice family.
The Wind Siren's amplification skill was strong, but it was negligible in front of the dragon.
The "Dragon's Roar" alone was enough to suppress all the battle pets that specialized in speed. That was the power of dragons!
Apart from the dragon, the other two battle pets were also magnificent. They could fly, hide, kill groups, and fight in close quarters. Each of their abilities was outstanding.
The seventh-rank Wind Siren was like a little girl in front of giants when compared to the three battle pets. The Wind Siren could only tremble in fear.
Qin Shaotian smiled faintly.
As the match began, the Wind Siren began to chant at once. A storm began to gather around Qin Shaotian. The storm quickly compressed into a strange pattern that was engraved on Qin Shaotian's body.
The Wind Amplification skill … was given to Qin Shaotian?
Was he going to fight on his own?
This scene stunned the countless spectators outside the arena.
But the next second, Qin Shaotian gave them an answer. He dashed forward and disappeared in an instant!
The moment Qin Shaotian disappeared from the Mu family disciple's vision, the sneer on his face disappeared. The disciple became nervous. He told the Frost-Winged Ice Dragon to release the Ice Shield at once.
Roar!!
The dragon's roar resounded across the stage. But it was much weaker than the Moonfrost Dragon's roar. As the saying went, there would be no harm if there was no comparison. The audience had been baptized by the Moonfrost Dragon. They were not shocked by the dragon's roar at all.
In the past, the dragon's roar would have made people's blood boil.
Layers of ice formed a wall made of ice, protecting the Mu Family disciples.
The Mu family disciple breathed in relief when the Ice Shield was completed. But the next second, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
Inside the ice wall, in front of him, Qin Shaotian had appeared out of nowhere and was looking at him with a smile.
The ice barricade that had been protecting him was like a tomb, completely blocking his battle pets from the outside!
When … did he get here?
Why didn't the dragon's roar intimidate him?!
The Mu family disciple was terrified.
"Admit defeat. Killing you is boring," Qin Shaotian said calmly.
The Mu family disciple trembled violently. Qin Shaotian didn't reveal any strength but the Mu family disciple felt he was living in a cage with a ferocious beast.
"I, I admit defeat …"
The Mu family disciple struggled to speak.
As the ice wall was removed, the audience saw what had happened. Everyone was stunned.
They had been wondering how Qin Shaotian would break the ice wall when the Mu family disciple was surrounded by the ice wall. However, Qin Shaotian was already standing in front of the Mu family disciple by the time the ice wall was removed.
How fast was that?!
There was no doubt about the outcome of this battle.
Complete victory!
Qin Shaotian had defeated three battle pets on his own and stood in front of the Mu family disciple. No one believed that the Mu family disciple would be able to fight against Qin Shaotian.
Instant kill!
