The next moment, the Big Mouthed Monkey aggressively opened its eyes. âRoar! Roar!â It excitedly pulled its hands out of the ground, pointed in a certain direction, and then began gesturing.
Were there two opponents in that direction?
Ziyun understood.
âCrackleââ
In the brilliant electric light, its limbs turned back into thunder elements, then its body blinked a few times before disappearing, leaving only traces of leaping electric arcs, drawing out its phantom-like residue.
âRoar!â
The Big Mouthed Monkeyâs expression grew animated, it scratched its head, then strode after Ziyun.
Although it couldnât catch up, pursuing was enough!
âThis is the sixth time Xu Jiujiuâs Frost Dust Wolf was cornered, it finally ceased retreating and chose to head-on with the encircling opponents.1â
âOne against five! With the geographical advantage of the glacial environment, the Frost Dust Wolf aggressively defeated the opponents! After swiftly defeating three Pet Beasts, it left the scene!â
âEh heh heh- The Frost Dust Wolf is really strong!â Looking at the imposing Frost Dust Wolf on the screen, a smile emerged on Tan Yueâs face.
He is the ardent fan of the White Wolf Girl!
The days without annoying advertisements were already joyful enough, and seeing the Frost Dust Wolf showing off its prowess again, a smile returned to Tan Yueâs face.
âXu Ranâs Pet Beast has made a new move! With the help of Hu Zhongâs Big Mouthed Monkey, Xu Ranâs Pet Beast has actively sought out other Pet Beasts!â
âThis is⦠an active attack!â
Looking at the big shining words âStarfire Foster Care Shopâ appearing on the screen again, Tan Yueâs smile disappeared.
Are you ever going to stop?!!
âHuh?â
Looking at Ziyun, which suddenly appeared on the Pet Beastâs field of view like a descending divine soldier, and feeling the Pet Beast being defeated at the speed of light, a Beast Master in the arena couldnât help but make a baffled and astonished sound.
He turned to look at that still calm figure, after a moment of silence, he spoke with agony, âXu Ran! I didnât besiege you!â
âOh, just passing by, took the opportunity.â
Xu Ran didnât even lift his head, casually replied, had Ziyun strike a pose towards the camera, then with the help of the panting Big Mouthed Monkey who had just caught up, rushed towards the direction of another Pet Beast.
Being keen on grabbing the limelight, he didnât care at all whether the Pet Beasts he encountered had ever besieged Ziyun before.
Was it important? Not important.
With the passage of time, the atmosphere in the arena was gradually changing.
After realizing despairingly that even with a joint siege, they could hardly eliminate those four thousand-point players, the alliance formed by other players began to silently crumble.
They no longer launched joint attacks, but fought individually in their originally formed small teams, prioritizing the preservation of their own rankings and eliminating other competitors.
But, at this moment, they faced the backlash of the siege they had just formed.
Following Xu Ran, the other three thousand-point players began to direct their respective Pet Beasts to actively eliminate others!
You just besieged me? Get eliminated!
Then, Xu Ran and Ziyun became anxious.
Stealing my opponent is okay, stealing my spotlight is not!
Ziyun, in a killing frenzy, rampaged all over the mountains and plains searching for opponents, causing the other Pet Beasts in the arena to tremble with fear.
The other three players, as if they had found their momentum with Xu Ran, collectively accelerated the speed of elimination.
They inexplicably picked up the pace, leaving the other players as the victims.
Thirty leftâ¦
Twenty leftâ¦
Ten leftâ¦
The number of players was decreasing at a rapid pace, until only seven were left.
Besides the four thousand-point players, only Su Xiaoxiao, Duan Anxun who paired up with Gu Ling, and Hu Zhong who teamed up with Xu Ran were left.
âBrother Xu, thank you!â Achieving these results was beyond Hu Zhongâs expectations. He seized the opportunity to express his gratitude, patted Xu Ranâs shoulder, then raised his hand, âI voluntarily drop out!â
On the other side, both Su Xiaoxiao and Duan Anxun expressed their gratitude to Gu Ling, then chose to voluntarily drop out.
In the competition area, finally, only four Pet Beasts were left.
Just as Xu Ran was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a massive white figure suddenly appeared before his eyesâ¦No, it appeared in front of Ziyun.
Looking at the Giant Wolf, covered in snow-white fur without a single uneven hair, whose eyes were filled with the intent to fight, Ziyunâs pupils quickly contracted to pinpoints. The heterochromatic eyes were like a bottomless abyss, filled with sharp battle intent.
It felt a great deal of pressure from the opponent.
This was a very strong opponent!
The pressure the opponent brought was only second to the previous Dark Scale Dragon!
âWhat do you mean?â Xu Ran frowned slightly, turning his head to glance at a short-haired girl next to him, her wheat-colored skin and a bit wild-looking outfit.
âWe still have a lot of time, why donât weThe short-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly, was about to make a suggestions with a playful smile, but she was interrupted.
âDing???? â
The bell ringing marked the end of the rematch.
âDarn!â Xu Jiujiu rolled her eyes in displeasure, âWhat a killjoy.â
The entrance to the competition arena opened again, and the Pet Beasts walked out.
The defeated beasts, which had lost their combat power earlier, had received medical attention. At this moment, their injuries had been healed, and they returned to their respective Beast Masters.
Of course, there were also the beasts that were in perfect condition due to voluntary elimination and the beasts of the last four contestants standing.
âCongratulations to the four contestants, for securing the final victory in the rematch, and advancing to the next round!â The host began with a smile.
âAs the top four contestants advancing to the final, you have one chance to make a statement for the upcoming finals.â
As he spoke, camermen aimed their cameras at the four and the microphones were promptly handed over by the staff members.
Such an unexpected opportunity?
Xu Ranâs eyes lit up instantly.
He pulled out the banner from his backpack that he didnât use earlier, waved it twice in front of the camera after opening it.
âStarfire Foster Care Shop, offering the best love and care for your Pet Beasts!â
Knew this would happen!
The entire venue fell silent, even the host couldnât help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Xu Ran launching an advertisement again, they surprisingly had a feeling of âthis just feels rightâ.
Apart from Xu Ran, the remaining three performed more formally.
Lyu Guang picked up the microphone, faced the camera, touched the hairband on his head, his expression full of confidence, âChampion, Iâve got this.â
Gu Ling next to him smiled slightly and took over the microphone, âI hope that this competition will allow my Dark Scale Dragon to meet a worthy opponent.â
Xu Jiujiu blinked, âThen Iâ¦âd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! May everyoneâ¦â
Seeing Xu Jiujiu earnestly beginning her New Yearâs greetings, the venue fell silent once again.
Itâs half a year until the New Year, what are you doing?!
Out of the four advancing contestants, why are two of them abnormal?!
Even Xu Ran couldnât help but stare at Xu Jiujiu a little longer.
This person, is somehow even more attention-grabbing than me?
âAhem ahem.â The host coughed awkwardly, âWeâve felt the enthusiasm of contestant Jiujiu Xu, and with that, the rematch is over. But before the end of the live broadcast, we have a final procedure.â
âThat is the pre-lot draw to decide the order of the semi-finals and finals.â
âThe four candidates will be divided into the Red group and the Blue group, with two candidates in each group. The groups will face off in the semi-finals and decide the winners and losers.â
âThe winning and losing groups will face off in the finals.â
âThe winner of the winning group will be the ultimate champion of this competition, and the loser will be the runner-up.â
âThe winner of the losing group will be in the third place, and the loser will be in the fourth place.â
âAnd now, the draw is in my hands!â The host took out a lottery box, âThere are four pieces of paper in it, numbered one to four.â
âNumbers one and two are the Red group, and numbers three and four are the Blue group.â
âContestants, please draw!â
Xu Ran and the others looked at each other, then stepped forward together, quickly picking out their respective numbers from the lottery box.
Opening his own piece of paper, Xu Ran couldnât help but raise his eyebrows.
Number three.
So, his next opponent is number four?
He looked up, directly meeting a pair of bright eyes.
Xu Jiujiu waved the number four paper in her hand at Xu Ran and made a face, âWeâre up against each other!â
âIt seems so.â Xu Ran shook his head helplessly.
âMeow-â
Ziyun looked serious and turned to look at the Frost Dust Wolf, who was much bigger than her.
This guyâ¦is so strong!
âHow about we make a bet?â Xu Jiujiu suddenly leaned in sneakily.
âWhat bet?â Xu Ran raised an eyebrow, instinctively stepping back half a step.
âIf we win this battle, Iâll send my Frost Dust Wolf to your foster center.â Xu Jiujiu patted the big head of the Frost Dust Wolf, âIf I win, you have to give my Frost Dust Wolf ten free washes and groomings!â
Good deal, thereâs profit to be gained regardless of winning or losing.
Xu Ran had a bright smile on his face, âNo problem..â
