64 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

Before Chi Yan could even finish her sentence, an unexpected system notification froze her expression in place. What? Just... what???? What is Lian Xing doing? If she'd already found it at the start, why bother triggering a flag in the first place!!!!!!! "This is just attention-seeking behavior, confirmed!!!" "What on earth, is she desperately seeking fame?" "Well, considering neither team is watching the live stream, they surely don't know how many people are spying on them right now. I can only say, if one can do something as absurd as a 'baby's first step', then nothing else would surprise me!!!" "During dinner today, a friend asked why I only eat fish heads, and I said because I want to share the body with Lian Xing." "Five life tips for Lian Xing: 1. You can sleep if you're tired. 2. You can eat if you're hungry. 3. You can drink if you're thirsty. 4. You can breathe if you're alive. 5. White stockings can be for me." "OK, that's enough from the monsters above??????" At this moment, faced with Lian Xing’s bizarre actions, not only were all the livestream viewers utterly stunned but even the Qingliu Institute's combat team had a moment of pause. After a brief shock, they quickly snapped back to reality. With the bizarre moves of a "baby's first step" and self-destruct methods, it's clear the opponent had long realized there was no winning this match, they were just messing around. After all, without Captain Dong Qi, there was really no conceivable way for the Youlan Institute to win this match... They checked the map's radar and stumbled upon a surprising discovery. As luck would have it, the strongest Moonlight Rabbit's location was smack in the middle of the Qingliu Institute's members. Before the rest of the Youlan Institute team could arrive for support, they had at least two or three minutes to surround and eliminate the exposed and isolated strongest Moonlight Rabbit!!! Chasing the small red dot displayed on the map, everyone rushed towards the flag's location at their fastest speed, intent on booting this attention-seeking Moonlight Rabbit out of the game before the Youlan Institute could regroup!!! "Swish!" "Crash—!!!" In less than a minute, two Qingliu members arrived at the flag's location atop their swift companion beasts. Furious Claws, a high-ranked beast resembling a giant leopard wreathed in blazing flames. Glint Wings, another high-ranked beast, appeared as a golden butterfly gliding gracefully, emitting a faint golden glow. Both high-ranked companion beasts possessed formidable speed!!! At this moment, under the watchful eyes of these two high-ranked beasts and the astounded Qingliu team members, a girl with golden buns styled into her hair, accompanied by pristine stockings, stood calmly beside the flag, as if deliberately waiting for them. Since Lian Xing touched the flag, she hadn't even moved an inch, just standing there awaiting her enemies. Right then, both enemy team members present and the livestream viewers all instinctively glanced at the golden leaf hairpin perched atop the girl's head. What's the deal—her enemy's right in her face and she's not even considering evolving? What on earth is the strongest Moonlight Rabbit contemplating!!!? "Bang!!!" At that very moment, while Lian Xing's attention was captured by the Furious Claws and Glint Wings, a deafening sniper shot rang out from the dense forest area, over four hundred meters away. The third Qingliu member to arrive had actually fired a blind sniper shot at the Radarmarked coordinates from over four hundred meters away!!! In that instant, the flying sniper bullet transcended visible boundaries, rocketing forth with shattering sonic speed, aimed straight for the joyous starry eyes of the golden-haired girl. Unfortunately, despite the close proximity, being a blind shot, the sniper bullet veered off, skimming past Lian Xing's clothes. Yet, in the split second where the bullet deviated from its mark, an explosive fox tail of flame suddenly sprouted from the body, in a swift, lightning-quick movement aiming to strike across the alluring face of the golden-haired girl. A high-ranking, mechanical type, Fox-Snap!!!! This was no ordinary sniper rifle!!! In that electrifying moment, under the global spotlight, as the viewers braced for what seemed to be Lian Xing's tragic death, reduced to mere fodder for laughter... "Boom!!!!!!!!!!" The next second, amid an exploding burst of flame. The sniper bullet, mere inches away, was sliced in two at mid-section, diverging to skitter past the sides of the golden-haired girl's body, stirring a few strands of her soft golden hair. Moments later, as the shrouding dust gradually settled, the Qingliu team members present widened their eyes in disbelief. Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream who were either mocking or fantasizing about Lian Xing suddenly found themselves collectively stupefied. At the same time, the expression on dexterous-handed Xiaokui's face seemed to crumble as if losing all grasp on reality, staring in disbelief at the "weapon" now accompanying the strongest Moonlight Rabbit. Two massive, spiral-shaped deep crimson solar blades were continuously rotating around the golden-haired girl like a celestial halo. With the waves of blistering heat surging outward, every inch of its wheel-like blades radiated a bone-chilling, awe-inspiring oppressive force. "......" "......" "What is... this?" "How could my guess be wrong!!?" Faced with this shocking display, Xiaokui, seeing her worldview shattered, muttered in disbelief. In full view of the public, amidst a gathering crowd. After the "baby's first step", the strongest Moonlight Rabbit once more unveiled her own unique artistry in battle...!!! Simultaneously. Ultra-Rare Species— The Red Inferno Empress makes a sensational debut!!!!!! ...... ...... [PS: Seeking monthly votes, beloved family, the end of the month is nearing, and these votes can't be rolled over to next month.] Chapter 54: Surpassing the Commander, A Blitz of Destruction!!! "Buzzing continuously!!!!!!" At the boundary of the coastal area on the Breezy Island, near the flag refresh point, two deep crimson spiral solar blades rotated slowly around the golden-haired girl like celestial halos. The red shimmer extending outward from the solar blades covered an eerily vast area, completely barring ordinary companion beasts from approaching even a step closer. Moreover, the outer star ring of the Red Inferno Empress possessed shock-absorbing features, making it exceedingly challenging for even energy-based ranged attacks to penetrate this red star shield. At this moment, the expressions of the three main members of the Qingliu combat team grew increasingly grim as they watched the golden-haired girl with a casual demeanor stationed at the center of the flag. In this world, there indeed exist such companion beasts... Judging simply by their form and aura, one can tell how minuscule their chance of winning truly is!!! What’s more, this solar blade type weapon gives off an air as if belonging to a commander-level companion beast... "Different......" "Completely different, even though both have golden hair, both are projectile types, both are Moonlight Rabbits and solar weaponry......" "But why are their evolved forms different!!!" In the livestream, dexterous-handed Xiaokui bit her finger in disbelief, almost losing her senses. Despite her extensive experience in the field, judging merely by the strongest Moonlight Rabbit's build and legs, she initially deduced that this was 99% the same individual as the super Golden Wheel, yet the disparity in their solar forms broke the chain of evidence completely. Now, even Xiaokui started questioning within herself: Was her identification actually correct? Could it be, after too much tank driving lately, has her aesthetic sense and vision perhaps become distorted...? "Swish!!!" Just as the battle had hit a deadlock, the golden butterfly floating in mid-air suddenly unleashed a surge of flashing impact, akin to a laser cannon violently striking the red star ring's surface. Yet, this seemingly strong sneak attack faded akin to a moth flying into flame, disappearing into nothingness the moment it touched the star ring, as if it had been blown out with a breath. "No way, the attack was too weak, it didn’t manage to alter this thing's trajectory......" Witnessing this spectacle, the master of Glint Wings wore a deeply troubled expression. In truth, the present beast tamers could easily discern that the opponent wasn't a defensive type beast, nor had it used any abilities or techniques. The solar blade suggested indifference, relying solely on its rigidity to nullify their attacks...... If she continued to linger there until the time expired, it would spell trouble!! "Wait, could this possibly be a commander-level companion beast?" "What, a commander, how... isn’t it plausible!!!" "So that's it, no wonder she opted for a 'baby's first step' routine, planning to save it for the official league?" "No, this isn’t a commander~~~" Amidst the confusion among the three members, an overwhelming gust arose without any warning. Then, alongside a clear crane call, a celestial aura-clad crane, carrying formidable momentum, descended from the heavens. High-level—Beast type—Sky Traveler!!! And seated on the crane was the captain of the Qingliu Institute. Wearing the Qingliu-style uniform, she was a petite girl with long white hair, smiling as she observed the lone golden-haired girl barring access to the flag. After scanning Lian Xing for a few seconds, the Qingliu captain nonchalantly turned her gaze toward her three teammates present. "You all witnessed a true commander during last year's league, didn't you?" "Have you forgotten the humiliation and fear when we were wiped out in a second by the Thunder Princess from Xiyu Institute...?” “This level simply isn’t at the commander-tier~~~” “If we can't even overcome opponents of this level this year, then we’re just doomed to repeat the past~~~” Upon her arrival at the battleground, the white-haired girl's brief words instantly restored her teammates' confidence.
