Chapter 322 - Qin Shaotian



Chapter 322 Qin Shaotian

Residual heat from the light wave could still be felt in the air.

In the staging area, many participants had been stunned still. Even the powerful ones who had been able to remain calm seemed surprised.

On the stage, Yu Weihan felt there was a constant buzzing noise inside her head. That scene was still vivid in front of her eyes. For a moment, her brain had stopped working.

A few seconds later, she came back to her senses. She looked at the girl standing on the other side of the stage. All of a sudden, Yu Weihan felt an urge to cry.

She was scared! She was scared out of her wits!

For a moment there, she thought she was going to die. The lightwave didn’t hit her; she knew she couldn’t have made it alive if that horrifying energy attack had hit her.

What kind of… skill is that?

Hasn’t the dragon just reached adulthood? How can it use such a horrifying level of energy? Yu Weihan stared at the girl standing on the opposite side with confusion.

Yu Weihan’s original expectation for the match was that she had a bigger chance of winning.

As it turned out, her opponent was the one achieving a complete victory.

Su Lingyue crushed her and won a landsliding victory!

Yu Weihan would have died if Su Lingyue hadn’t pulled her punches. There was a world of difference between them!

“Are you okay?”

A man flew to Yu Weihan quickly. He was the judge, a titled battle pet warrior. He could intervene when some matches went out of control and save the participants.

At this stage, all of the participants were young talents and they could grow to be future cornerstones of the base city. To lose their lives over the Elite League would be pointless.

Of course, as for those who lost their lives by accident in the branch venues, that was a completely different story.

Yu Weihan looked at the judge. From him, she once again found a sense of security. “I’m fine.”

The moment she saw him hurrying over, she knew that the judge was the one who had set up the shields for her.

She was awfully grateful for what he did.

“Do you want to admit defeat? The gap between you two is vast.” The judge was offering Yu Weihan a chance. If she chose to continue the fight, he would no longer intervene.

An ignorant fool could not be seen as an elite. The judge’s words were blunt. Yu Weihan turned pale from shame and inner pain. Her heart was still trembling as she thought of the previous strike. She wasn’t sure if she could have survived a second strike. “I admit defeat…”

Saying those words was certainly not easy for her. Her voice sounded hoarse.

She seemed to have used up all of her energy in uttering those words. She lost all of her spirits after she spoke.

The judge nodded. He flew up to the air and announced to the public that Yu Weihan had admitted defeat.

He wasn’t using a speaker to amplify his voice. Still, everyone across the venue was able to hear him with the help of astral power.

Hooray!

People hailed Su Lingyue’s great victory.

Staging area. Liu family.

Several people wore grave expressions, especially Liu Jianxin. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He didn’t know that apart from the mysterious Qin Shaotian, he had to deal with another tough character in Group D, the girl whom he had neglected.

“Ninth-rank skill by a seventh-rank pet…” Liu Qingfeng mumbled. He took a long look at the girl who was stepping off from the stage. “We have just found our tool to feel Qin Shaotian out.” Liu Qingfeng grinned.

Liu Jianxin picked up what Liu Qingfeng meant. The clouds over Liu Jianxin’s heart were dispersed. He, too, put on a grin.

The more powerful the girl was, the better off they would be. She could help them force more cards out of Qin Shaotian.

“Sir, shouldn’t the Moonfrost Dragon be using ice-related skills? Why would it use light?” a Liu family young man asked in confusion. He couldn’t figure this out.

To use skills that weren’t of their main class was not easy.

Pure ice energy was stored in the bones of dragons that used ice-related skills. The dragon would have to have a strong spiritual power to try skills of other categories and they would be of low levels. To use a skill of the ninth-rank, the dragon would have to have a rich energy reserve and use its own body as the media to connect to the energy existing in the void.

That was to say, the Moonfrost Dragon would have to have a profound reserve of light energy. However, that would weaken the Moonfrost Dragon’s ice-related skills.

“This Moonfrost Dragon has mutated. We cannot regard it as a normal dragon.” Liu Qingfeng didn’t seem to be surprised. The appearance of the Moonfrost Dragon was clear enough for people to notice that it had gone through a drastic mutation. It was covered in both golden and silver scales. “Oh, I see.” The Liu family people understood.

In the meanwhile.

Qin family.

Qin Shaotian was smiling. “Things have become more and more interesting. She will make it to the Top 10 or even the Top 5. I wonder who will win between the two of them, her or Liu Jianxin.”

The losing party of each group’s finals would have a chance to fight against the losing party of other groups to win a chance to compete for a place among the Top 10 again.

At Group D, Qin Shaotian believed he and Liu Jianxin would definitely encounter each other and the way he saw it, Liu Jianxin would be the losing party. Well, a surprising turn of events had taken place.

As such, Qin Shaotian could not wait to see what would happen when the girl and Liu Jianxin met on stage. The three people who came with Qin Shaotian forced a smile. Never did they expect that the competition in this group would become so intense.

Both the girl and Liu Jianxin had enough abilities to win a good place.

Still, since they were in the same group, one of them was bound to be eliminated.

Yes, the losing party at the finals could win another chance but that was one person after

all.

The Qin family was not the only party considering this. Soon, the other participants as well as audience members who were familiar with the rules had also realized this matter.

For a moment, everyone had high expectations for the matches in Group D.

In the staging area, Su Lingyue and Yu Weihan had sat down in their seats.

Seeing Su Lingyue coming back victorious had filled Ye Hao, Su Yanying, and Luo Fengtian with complicated feelings alike. For Luo Fengtian, he was feeling extra emotions of astonishment and confusion.

The academy exchange match didn’t happen a long time before.

Barely a month had passed! Back then, he had seen what the girl was able to do. She had tried her best but she failed eventually. And this day, she easily defeated Yu Weihan.

She had developed faster than anyone could imagine!

At the same time, Luo Fengtian realized what made the difference. He didn’t remember Su Lingyue having the dragon she was using in the academy exchange.

He recalled the matches she had participated in throughout this time. She was relying completely on this dragon and that was obvious.

Of course, he couldn’t say for sure if she had other pets in hiding but he believed that was unlikely. The dragon was stunning and being the secondary pet was unlikely.

Few people could have survived that marvelous ninth-rank light wave. That skill alone could have guaranteed a good place for her, even a place in the Top 5.

Under the premise that she had no other powerful opponents in the group.

Luo Fengtian blinked. He couldn’t wait to see the following matches in Group D.

“Your dragon… is amazing,” Su Yanying said after Su Lingyue took her seat.

Su Yanying was not as astonished as the others. She found it easy to understand.

The fact that Su Lingyue was Su Ping’s younger sister explained a lot. Even a Lightning Rat could be trained to a horrifying level in Su Ping’s store, not to mention a rare and treasured dragon.

If the dragon could progress as quickly as the Lightning Rat, then Su Yanying believed the following matches would be meaningless. In her mind, not even the two powerful opponents in the group could have defeated the dragon.

At the same time, Su Yanying knew that it was unlikely for the dragon to progress as much as the Lightning Rat. The latter was at a low rank and thus had a higher chance of moving up. On the other hand, the dragon was already at a high starting point. To reach another rank would be much more difficult.

Su Lingyue sat down. She saw someone waving at her from the distance. It was Xu Kuang. He was grinning from ear to ear and giving her a thumbs-up, as if saying, “No wonder you’re my teacher’s sister.”

Su Lingyue rolled her eyes at him and restored her cool. She then turned to where the Liu family and the Qin family were seated, only to see the two powerful opponents she was worried about were idly chatting or looking elsewhere, clearly ignoring her. Frustrated, Su Lingyue decided to treat the matches more seriously.

At the same time, Yu Weihan had returned. She lowered her head so that others would not see the look on her face.

Luo Fengtian felt how depressed she was. “You’ve done a nice job already. I suppose I’ll come and join your team later. Let’s work harder when we go back,” he comforted her.

Yu Weihan trembled. She raised her head to look at him and nodded.

His comforting words didn’t make her feel any better. She would have felt less sad if she had lost to Qin Shaotian or Liu Jianxin. After all, she had never thought herself able enough to compete with freaks like them.

But she lost to Su Lingyue, a first-year student in the academy.

Yu Weihan felt her self-esteem had been injured.

“Sorry.” She heard a gentle voice. It was the winner Su Lingyue who uttered the word. Su Lingyue didn’t appear to be proud of her win and even her “sorry” sounded sincere rather than domineering.

Sincere? Yu Weihan bit her teeth.

“It’s okay. I’m not a sore loser!” Yu Weihan took a deep breath. “Good luck to you. I heard that your goal is to win the championship. I will cheer for you.”

Su Lingyue wondered if Yu Weihan meant it or whether she was being sarcastic.

Since she couldn’t tell, she decided to regard her words as sincere. “I will win.” She nodded.

She also said to herself, I must win!

She understood what failure would mean to her. She would not only lose her glory but her life. There wasn’t much she could do on the stage, but she had to carry the safety of her entire family on her back!

Su Lingyue was serious and determined. Yu Weihan curled her lips and looked away without saying anything else. Su Yanying was surprised to see that Su Lingyue appeared to have more vigor than when she was in the barren area.

So, the quickest way for a person to grow was through battles and competition, right?

Su Yanying began to understand why the academy would have undergraduate students participate in the Elite League. Even losing, they could stand to gain.

After Su Lingyue and Yu Weihan exited the stage, the second pair of Group D started their match.

Qin Shaotian and a young man from the Mu family.

The person from the Mu family enjoyed a high status. As long as he wouldn’t suffer an accidental death, he would grow up to be an important member of the Mu family.

In the beginning, the one from the Mu family tried some trash talking but failed to enrage Qin Shaotian. The latter casually summoned the seventh-rank battle pet he had used during the trial.

That was a pet of the wind family. The pet had wings like an elf and looked like a human being. Its dark and glowing eyes took up half of its face. The upper half of the pet’s body resembled that of a female human being with breasts covered up in flower petals, quite enticing.

re

Seventh-rank Wind Siren. Of all the seventh-rank pets, Wind Sirens weren’t the most stunning and had few skills. The only thing noticeable about a Wind Siren was its inherent skill, Gale Speed.

The skill could increase speed by two times. If coupled with agile pets, like the Supersonic Wasp, the Wind Siren could bring about much damage.

The Mu family participant didn’t expect that Qin Shaotian would still use a seventh-rank battle pet at this point.

The Mu family youngster summoned three battle pets directly and all had ninth-rank bloodlines. His major pet was a dragon with a ninth-rank bloodline, the Ice-wing Dragon. The dragon also used ice-related skills. It wasn’t one of the rarest dragons but was still popular. The Wind Siren’s ability to increase speed would be useless when the opponent was a dragon.

A dragon’s roar that could inflict harm in all beings was more than enough to deter any attempt to increase speed. That was why dragons were overwhelming!

Apart from the dragon, the other two pets appeared to be glamorous, while also being endowed with abilities in flying cloaking, mass killing, and close-range combat. The pets were excellent in every way. The seventh-rank Wind Siren to those three pets was like a little girl in front of giants. The former would only be able to shiver in fear.

Qin Shaotian smiled.

The match began. The Wind Siren began to chant. A wind sprang up and soon formed some strange patterns that were engraved into Qin Shaotian. The speed increase… was for Qin Shaotian?

He was going to fight the pets by himself?

The audience was taken aback.

The next second, Qin Shaotian gave the audience the answer. He dashed and vanished on the spot!

The moment Qin Shaotian vanished from sight, the young man from the Mu family erased his grin. He was filled with trepidation and worry. Immediately, he told the Ice-wing Dragon to roar and to set up Ice Guards.

Roar!!

The roar echoed in the venue. But it was much less intimidating than the Moonfrost Dragon’s roar. No comparison, no harm. Having experienced the Moonfrost Dragon’s roar many times, the audience felt no pressure when dealing with the Ice-wing Dragon’s roar.

Without the Moonfrost Dragon, the Ice-wing Dragon’s roar would have thrilled people.

A wall formed with ice protected the Mu family young man within.

He breathed in relief as the wall was completed. However, the next second, his eyes almost fell out of his face in shock.

Inside the wall, in front of him, Qin Shaotian had come out of thin air and was looking at him with a smile.

The wall that should be his protection had become his would-be tomb. He and his pets had been separated!

When did Qin Shaotian come in?

Why wasn’t he stopped by the dragon’s roar?

The Mu family young man wore fear on his face. “Admit defeat. Killing you is no fun,” Qin Shaotian said. The Mu family youngster trembled. Qin Shaotian was not displaying any powers but the young man felt he was sharing a room with a monster.

“I, I give up…”

The young man worked up the strength.

The ice thawed, revealing a scene that dumbfounded the audience.

When they saw the Mu family participant retreat behind the ice cover, they were just thinking about what Qin Shaotian would do to crack the wall. But when the ice melted, they saw that Qin Shaotian was already inside with the Mu family guy.

That speed was unbelievable!

The outcome of the match was clear.

Triumph for Qin Shaotian!

Relying on his own, Qin Shaotian had reached his opponent despite the three pets standing on his way. No one would think that the Mu family participant had a single chance to fight back.

Qin Shaotian had snatched an instant win!
