Chapter 72 - 71 Time is still early, why don’t we... (Please subscribe !)_1
Silence.
The contestants’ area is completely silent.
Listening to the host saying with fervor, “Contestant Xu Ran has single-handedly eliminated ten contestants, he and his Pet Beast have gone berserk,” the surrounding contestants felt an unprecedented regret.
Damn it! Why is this guy so strong!
During the initial selection round, he didn’t seem to be playing so outrageously!
Could it be that he was hiding his abilities?
Yes! That must be it!
Even Lyu Guang, Xu Jiujiu, and Gu Ling, couldn’t help but turn their heads in Xu Ran’s direction. Obviously, they were also slightly shocked by Xu Ran defeating one contestant after another.
This guy… is this strong?
Their anticipation was not only for the current rematch but also for the semi-finals and finals in the near future.
They might be the ones who will have to face Xu Ran then!
“Brother Xu! You rock!” If anyone in the room was most excited, it would probably be Hu Zhong, who somehow ended up forming a team with Xu Ran.
With such a strong ally, he wouldn’t need to aim for promotion to the next round, but his elimination ranking would certainly be much higher, meaning the competition rewards would be more generous.
He was genuinely in a comfortable situation!
No, he needed to show some support!
“Brother Xu, have a drink!” He quickly handed his Coca Cola to Xu Ran.
“Thank you.”
Xu Ran unceremoniously took it, drinking while sighing inwardly.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t eliminate all the contestants.
After being defeated by Ziyun consecutively three times, the Beast Masters reacted quickly, directing their Pet Beasts to flee in different directions.
Even with Ziyun’s amazing speed, it was unrealistic to chase all the Pet Beasts in a full circle. He barely caught seven and let six get away.
The sigh he heaved wasn’t due to the decrease in the number of eliminated contestants.
It was because, as expected, the live broadcasting had probably switched the channel to the other contestant’s Pet Beast.
To steal the spotlight requires technical skills.
“You should take a rest,” he comforted Ziyun through the air in the competition area, who was somewhat despondent, and he praised its performance, “This fight had a great advertising effect.”
“Meow-” (Really?)
The joy instantly filled Ziyun’s eyes, and its morale got boosted.
If the advertising effect was great, more clients would come.
Having more clients meant its new skills and upgrades would be achieved!
“Of course,” Xu Ran smiled, “After that burst earlier, you must have depleted a lot of stamina. After you recover to your peak, we can start Plan B!”
“Meow?” (Plan B?)
Ziyun tilted its head, looking slightly puzzled.
“Plan B means we’ll attack first,” Xu Ran patiently explained, “This is a live broadcast after all, the more exciting the battle, the more attention we’ll get.”
“Now that the other contestants know we’re strong and avoid battling us, what should we do?”
“Of course, we should take initiative in attacking them!”
“Meow-” (I see!)
Ziyun quickly caught on, and the will to fight erupted in its eyes.
Initiate fights with other contestants…
It likes that!
Ziyun turned and walked to the area where the Thunderforce was the strongest, tucked its paws into its chest, laid down, and started to recover its own strength fast.
“Big Mouth Gorilla, quick!” Seeing this, Hu Zhong realized that this was his chance to stand out.
“Roar!”
The Big Mouth Gorilla stood up straight with its huge body and walked towards Ziyun. It then sat down beside it and started watching the surroundings menacingly.
None of you can touch my big brother!
After a quarter of an hour, Ziyun slowly stood up. A stroke of purple lightning flashed through its heterochromatic eyes.
One by one, electric arcs erupted from its body, hopping around the surrounding space.
Its strength had been restored to its peak!
“Hu Zhong, I recall the Big Mouth Gorilla has a skill called Earthquake Wave, right?” Xu Ran turned his head and looked at Hu Zhong.
Earth attribute One Star Skill, Earthquake Wave.
Using the vibrations of the earth to detect the situation within a large range, it was akin to sonar.
“Correct.” Hu Zhong nodded, and his expression immediately changed, “You mean to…?”
“We should initiate the attack while using your Earthquake Wave to detect the movements of other contestants!” Xu Ran slowly spoke out his thought.
Hu Zhong wasn’t aware of his earlier communication with Ziyun through Contractual Sensing. When he heard Xu Ran’s proposal, he was first startled by the bold idea, but when considering Ziyun’s strong combat power, he felt stirred.
Brilliant-
Eliminating one more contestant meant a higher ranking for him.
Instead of waiting for others to eliminate each other, it was better to take the initiative to end this fight quickly!
More importantly, while Xu Ran’s Pet Beast was showing off its prowess, his Big Mouth Gorilla felt left out because it only stood by and applauded.
This time, letting the Big Mouth Gorilla handle the detection would increase its sense of participation!
“Let’s do it!”
Hu Zhong nodded vigorously and then issued new instructions to the Big Mouth Gorilla.
“Roar!”
Within the competition area, the Big Mouth Gorilla nodded to Ziyun and then jumped to a relatively flat area.
It stomped hard with its feet, its thick feet entirely buried in the earth. Simultaneously, it slapped the ground with both palms, also burying them in the earth.
Right after, the Big Mouth Gorilla closed its eyes.
One after another, earth-colored halos, like ripples, emanated from its limbs, drawing clear light circles on the ground and constantly spreading out towards afar until they reached the end of the sight line.
One Star Skill, Stardust Level ? Earthquake Wave.
This skill was not used frequently in actual combat due to its lengthy casting gestures, but its applications in everyday life were quite broad..
