As the sandstorm dissipated, the black and red silhouette of the Snow Demon Crab was revealed, allowing all the Beastmasters to witness its true form.
With its streamlined shell that blends flesh and mecha, a body brimming with immense power, and crimson ribbons burning like blood flames, it stands atop mountains of corpses and seas of blood, possessing the terrifying power to shatter the earth!
Its emergence directly defined what absolute power is.
The Snow Demon Shield Crab's supposedly indestructible shield was utterly destroyed; it didn't even have the chance to resist and was crushed to dust with a single stomp.
The black, wild ant that the mouse had transformed into stood quietly on the arena, receiving the praise of the crowd.
"Finally, we got to play the Rat Emperor scenario!"
At that moment, it was so excited that it almost teared up!
You need to know what kind of characters it has been fighting against since Xiu Ren debuted.
Soul-devouring demonic cloud... Spiritual metamorphosis, limb-splitting demon leader... Red-fire ant queen who manipulates ant swarms, etc...
They are either top-tier monster overlords, evil spirits, or even the strongest members of the Beast King system; none of them are simple.
Compared to them, this Snow Demon Shield Crab is really small and quite cute...
It has a kind of exquisite beauty!
The only downside is that it's a bit crunchy; if I hadn't been careful to hold back my strength, I almost would have crushed it into crab paste.
"What kind of pet is this?"
"I don't think I've ever seen this kind of black and red ant-like pet in the bestiary."
"Even from this distance, I can feel the oppressive force of pure physical power. What kind of monster is this?!"
"This aura definitely belongs to a peak elite pet beast. How exactly did Lu Yu subdue and contract it? Did he use a cheat code? Or is his charisma so great that he can even charm any pet beast?"
"..."
The beast tamers were dumbfounded. Even though they were shouting "impossible" in their hearts, the scene before them was the silent, irrefutable proof.
Upon realizing that it wasn't Lu Yu's first pet spider woman who appeared, everyone understood one thing...
That means Lu Yu has already advanced to the Silver rank!
Moreover, it has contracted such a powerful and mysterious ant-like pet beast, which instantly killed the elite peak Snow Demon Shield Crab with a single blow!
Everything he had done before suddenly seemed reasonable, transforming from arrogance and madness into the confidence of a strong person with the power to back it up!
Even some people who knew Lu Yu had a thought forming in their minds:
"Does becoming stronger require going insane first?"
It should be noted that Lu Yu suddenly went mad when he awakened his talent, which led to mental abnormalities and three months of recuperation.
Although he made a strong comeback after acquiring a pet some time ago, most people still believe that Lu Yu's mental state will hinder his progress.
But unexpectedly...
Lu Yu not only did not decline, but instead made great strides, soaring all the way to Silver rank, and even showed no signs of losing control of his spirituality.
Is this what they mean by "As long as I'm crazy enough, the mutation won't affect me"?
Is it too late to go crazy now?
Or is it that raising pigs is the only way to maintain mental stability?
"Ugh...ugh..."
Wang Xingjian, the dean of students, let out a goose-like cry as he watched the scene unfold before him. His emotions shifted from disappointment to overwhelming joy, even to the point of overflowing.
He suddenly turned to look at the principal beside him and said excitedly:
"You already knew?"
Luo Zisong leaned on his cane, smiling without saying a word. In Wang Xingjian's eyes, it was an expression of calm composure and complete control.
No wonder the principal was able to advance to the Morning Star rank; his demeanor is something that even the principal can't match.
They easily reversed the situation and regained all the face that Obuchi High School had lost!
That's a brilliant tactic!
"I know... my foot!"
Feeling Wang Xingjian's admiring gaze, Luo Zisong could only laugh awkwardly, gripping his cane tightly. He had almost exclaimed "Awesome!" just now.
Although he knew that Lu Yu was hiding some of his strength, he never expected that this guy was hiding 99% of his strength and would directly crush his peers with a single move.
If it weren't for the fact that this ant-like pet looked so different and didn't have a golden power ring, he would have almost thought it was the legendary ancient species, the Wild Power Ant.
But thinking about it, it seems unlikely. After all, the sacrificial ritual initiated by the leader of the limb-splitting demons led many people to guess that the Wild Power Ants in the video were likely just a hoax, or perhaps just a disguise made by some kind of special ability.
Even after the forbidden existence appeared in the end, no trace of the Wild Power Ants was found, which further proves this point.
The barren ant does not exist.
This ancient, primordial species has most likely been extinct in history, but its image has been recreated by the leader of the Limb-Splitting Demons.
Although the ant-like pet that Lu Yu contracted was not an ancient species, its potential was even more terrifying.
With its extreme power and speed, it is a war machine with the potential to become a hegemon or even a higher level!
Moreover, just how strong is Lu Yu's will to be able to contract with and control the spiritual power of elite peak beings in such a short time? And what level has his first pet beast reached?
Thinking of this, Luo Zisong suddenly felt hopeful.
If it were Lu Yu... he might actually be able to challenge a Gold-rank Beastmaster, or even achieve a draw.
As for winning, it will probably be a bit difficult.
After all, the further you advance in rank, the greater the difference in strength becomes. Starting from the Commander rank, the pet's spiritual energy will experience a surge.
Compared to the elite tier, it's like comparing a small pond to a lake.
Even a casual strike from a Commander-level expert is several times more powerful than a full-force strike from a Peak Elite. How can we possibly fight that?
However, Luo Zisong didn't expect much; he had already regained all his face in one go, which was enough.
"This money was well spent!" Luo Zisong thought with satisfaction, somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.
Wang Xingjian was also excited. His previous stern expression vanished, and he immediately arranged for the medical team to treat the Snow Demon Crab. Then, he cleared his throat and calmly announced:
"The match is over. The winner this time is... Lu Yu!"
"We won!"
"Lu Yu is invincible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the high school students of Obuchi City cheered, filled with pride.
"Just as I guessed."
Qi Wei revealed a smile that seemed to indicate he had seen through everything, which amazed many people around him.
After all, he had always firmly believed in Lu Yu from the beginning. He had initially thought they were just there to laugh at him, but it turned out they were the real clowns.
That's incredibly wise!
Qi Wei was initially quite happy, but upon hearing this, his expression suddenly froze. What did "feigning foolishness" mean...?
Does he usually look silly?
Fu Feng, still dazed and confused, on the ring, smiled bitterly:
"I lost..."
He was still instantly killed in one hit.
The man in front of me is so strong that it inspires despair.
The atmosphere at Meteor High School was heavy. Several students looked dazed, completely unprepared for the fact that their strongest student, Fu Feng, had been instantly killed!
It feels like playing a game that you thought was on easy mode, only to suddenly encounter a max-level boss halfway through, who starts slaughtering everyone at the respawn point, turning the game from a hack-and-slash title into a nightmare-level Souls-like experience.
There's absolutely no gaming experience anymore.
"What a powerful pet..."
Su Bin, the dean of students at Meteor High School, was shocked. He hadn't expected that his school's ace student would be crushed by Lu Yu, whom he had initially overlooked.
"I remember now."
As for Zhu Fei, who was about to be challenged, he looked at Lu Yu on the stage in a daze, and finally realized where this familiar feeling came from...
These are just those crazy people from the capital!
The Lu Yu before them had the same aura as those top-tier prodigies, exuding a despairing sense of oppression that he brought to beast tamers of the same level.
The difference in skill is certainly huge, but their crazy and absolutely confident temperament is so similar.
Unexpectedly, such a genius was born in the peaceful city of Dayuan!
"I don't want to bully children either..."
Lu Yu shook his head. He wanted to achieve his goal in one step, but he couldn't resist Fu Feng's initiative to offer himself up for death.
But it's alright, the real chaos has only just begun...
Thinking of this, Lu Yu stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Teacher Zhu, please." Everyone's eyes narrowed and they held their breath. They hadn't expected that Lu Yu wasn't joking, but was really going to challenge a Gold-rank Beastmaster.
Regardless of success or failure, he will be showered with glory.
The thought of witnessing this historic moment filled many beast tamers with anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fei slowly walked forward under everyone's gaze, quickly arriving at the opposite platform. Looking at Lu Yu, he revealed a gentle smile and slowly said:
"Actually, you don't need to risk challenging me; you can easily take most of the spots."
Lu Yu smiled but remained silent.
Just kidding. If you take the money, you have to do a good job. Otherwise, who will hire you in the future? You need to have a service mentality!
Wouldn't it be a huge loss if money were deducted from my pay?
Moreover, the principal said that the bigger the commotion, the more money they would get.
So what could be more sensational than defeating a Gold-rank teacher?
Zhu Fei could also see that Lu Yu was not prepared to give up, so he shook his head and slowly said:
"What an arrogant brat, and you certainly have the qualifications, but I'm going to tell you something... In this world, who isn't a genius?"
The moment he finished speaking, a black summoning array formed behind him, condensing spiritual energy. It resembled a vast, dark, and desolate starry sky, and a terrifying aura emanated from it. Many students who were near the arena subconsciously retreated, only to find that they could breathe easily again. They were still shaken when they thought about what they had just experienced.
"This guy's getting serious!"
A slight smile appeared on Su Bin's stern face. Although Zhu Fei always joked that he was being beaten, even if he was just an ordinary student at Beijing University, it was only because he was compared to those top geniuses.
Those who successfully graduate from it are considered geniuses even within the league.
As the starlight spread out, a black, cloud-like pet appeared before everyone. Its appearance resembled a dark cloud, its entire body composed of a skeleton formed from dim starlight, resembling an abbreviation of a constellation, yet containing brilliant starlight within.
Especially now that it was nearing dusk, the sky had darkened, yet it appeared even more magnificent and mysterious, as if stars had descended to earth.
"This is a top-tier ruling creature that only appears in the unique dark starlight ecosystem of the Dark Star Region—the Starlight Mist Demon of the Star System!"
An experienced teacher recognized it at first glance, and the others also took out their phones to search, quickly finding the information.
Including the borders, the Alliance comprises twenty-one vast domains, each dotted with numerous cities and towns, inhabited by countless humans. Furthermore, different systems and diverse cultural customs have arisen alongside the local ecosystems.
The Dark Star Domain is one of them, not far from the border. It is named so because the Dark Star Domain has a mysterious power that draws starlight from the sky to the earth, and even causes a large number of meteorites to fall to the earth, making the starlight in this domain dim. Compared with the starry sky of other domains, it is like a dark star domain.
However, the starlight did not disappear; it simply shifted.
These starlight energies, channeled to the earth, combine with different elements and environments to create one unique ecological wonderland after another, making this area shine like daytime at night, a truly magical sight.
Therefore, the Dark Star Domain is rich in star-type pets that can manipulate starlight. Some top-tier demons can even condense starlight into a vast sea of stars that sweeps across the sky.
The Starlight Mist Demon is one of the rarer pet beasts, a top-tier leader in its species. Its appearance resembles clouds and mist, but it is not actually composed of water vapor; rather, it is an elemental creature born from starlight.
They may look cute, but they are not docile. They like to hide in the night sky, disguise themselves as clouds, and suddenly pounce on their prey the moment it enters the sky, killing it with starlight and then digesting it.
If the Starlight Mist Demon can consume enough ores or treasures containing the power of stars, it has a chance to evolve into a Nebula Demon, or condense into a Meteor Giant.
There's even a long-standing rumor in the Dark Star Domain that pets in the Star System can keep evolving and have the chance to transform into eternal Star Spirits, becoming beings comparable to ancient dragons.
"Oh no..."
Even Luo Zisong hadn't expected that this guy would have such a troublesome pet.
The Starlight Mist Fairy is immune to physical damage and has the advantage of being high up, making it a mobile magic turret.
"There was already a difference in strength, and then there was also attribute suppression..."
Luo Zisong frowned. If he had previously hoped to achieve a draw with Lu Yu, now he felt he could only hold out for a while before losing.
Even forcing oneself to endure it is somewhat difficult.
"What a pity..."
The others also shook their heads. In this situation, it was almost impossible to win against a stronger opponent, and choosing to give up was a wise choice.
Zhu Fei looked at Lu Yu, who was deep in thought, with admiration in his eyes, and advised him:
"Your talent and pet are both very strong. If we were of the same level, I would most likely be no match for you. But right now, there is an absolute gap in strength between us, which you cannot bridge at your current level."
So... let's give up. As for the spots, we'll only take the four spots from the four games we just won, and the rest will go to your Oobuchi City High School.
They've already shown their sincerity by saying all this.
Just when everyone thought Lu Yu was going to forfeit and take away the six spots, he raised his head and chuckled:
"Geniuses are always irrational, aren't they, Teacher Zhu!"
Zhu Fei was taken aback at first, then frowned and said, "Blind confidence is not advisable. Indeed, one's environment can limit one's perspective. In that case, let me show you the level of an ordinary graduate from Imperial University. Even I can crush you, let alone the gap between me and those top geniuses..."
"Singing—"
The Starlight Mist Demon suddenly unleashed its Commander-level aura, its body surrounded by countless showers of starlight, like a sudden downpour, preparing to forcefully suppress the tiny ant before it.
boom!
Unfazed, the Dark Black Desolate Ant activated all forty power rings, transforming them into a blood-red star field that swirled around it, like a bloodthirsty demon that had emerged from the ancient times.
boom!
The punch created a shockwave, accelerating the airflow and whipping up a whirlwind that instantly tore apart the shower of stars.
Faced with absolute power,
Even the starlight will dim.
"Such powerful strength, but that's all it is..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Fei's eyes, but he calmly gave the order:
"Starlight Mist Fairy, Star Arrow!"
The Starlight Mist Demon instantly expanded its body, composed of starlight and clouds, and the vast starlight converged into several arrows.
The brilliance of starlight! The piercing power of an arrow!
Put together,
It is the arrow of the stars that tears everything apart!
There's no need for back-and-forth fighting; a crushing psionic attack is enough to obliterate everything.
"it's over!"
Zhu Fei remained indifferent, while Lu Yu nodded in agreement:
"It's time to end this."
The moment the words left his mouth, the air around the blazing black ant stopped flowing, as if frozen. The space itself began to stagnate and tremble, and in the next instant…
boom!
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire battlefield, causing everyone to tremble uncontrollably, as if facing a tsunami. Some weaker students even fell to the ground, and even the Gold Beastmasters showed expressions of astonishment.
Luo Zisong's pupils dilated sharply, he tapped his cane lightly on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"A domineering aura!"
When the voice fell, the audience was shocked!
This isn't a deterrent skill!
Rather, it is the aura of a hegemon that is born only after reaching the hegemon level. It can intimidate lower-level life forms, suppress their strength, and even impact their souls, making it a divine skill for controlling the field.
but……
The black and red ant in front of me is only an elite-level ant, far from being a lord-level ant.
Could it be a monarch embryo?
Or even the cubs of higher-ranking pets?
At that moment, everyone was stunned, and a small part of their worldview collapsed.
"careful……"
Zhu Fei was also greatly shocked. He was about to remind the Starlight Mist Demon to blink, but he found that the latter had fallen into a brief state of stiffness, and the arrows around him shattered into light points and scattered.
Clearly, his soul was shaken by the aura of the overlord.
"roar!"
At the same time, the black ant that the rat had transformed into let out a deafening roar. The Thousand Faces behind it intertwined and merged, quickly transforming into a huge claw that was mounted on its right arm.
The mouse suddenly clenched its paws into fists, as if it had pieced together the arm of an ancient demon god. Shadow, soul, and blood power were forcibly fused together at this moment, transforming into pitch-black spiritual energy that eroded the surroundings, like a corner of the underworld.
So what if you're immune to physical damage?
The mouse directly used the proficient level of the Thousand Faces Touch to forcibly condense a special trinity of weapons.
Armed with a Thousand Faces—Ghost Shattered Star Arm!
This is its latest idea. If it can construct or assemble all the special weapons, it may bring about a new evolution for the Black Desolate Ant!
Bang bang bang!
The arena beneath their feet shattered instantly under the immense pressure, causing the surrounding space to tremble and the airflow to accelerate, as if a storm had descended.
Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, the Radiant Black Wild Force Ant slowly raised its Star-Shattering Arm. The pitch-black shadows around it swept and twisted, writhing as if a ghostly world, teeming with countless phantoms, was beginning to erode reality, devouring the starlight and bringing eternal night!
An uproar?
This punch is enough to shatter stars...
A single strike can cleave the heavens!
