77 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

"......" "......" "The match is over!!" Upon seeing the randomly generated results, Xiaokui couldn't help but exclaim. If Lian Xing had only a 20% win rate with a singular pet in standard battles, then the dungeon speed run mode would decrease her chance of victory to 5%. The Bloodthirsty Arena would eventually bring her wins down to zero. The Bloodthirsty Arena is also a popular map. However, unlike the Star Plains where you can lure monsters and clear them slowly, the creatures in the Bloodthirsty Arena are dense and furious, and the map is small!!! Fortunately, there aren't any elemental types in this arena, which makes it less challenging than the Star Plains. Success is purely determined by the team’s combat capabilities. Speakin' of which, it seems like Yulan Academy’s team doesn't even have a frontline tank, right? Perhaps they won't be able to withstand the first wave of monsters and will be pulverized right from the start... [Battle Start] [30-second Countdown, please adjust your combat lineup] Seconds later, a flash of white light transported five members from both academies into a virtual dungeon. The map environment of the Bloodthirsty Arena is even more confined than the Iron Cage Arena of the preliminary round, akin to a closed prison, with a pervasive, nose-tingling scent of blood. The terrain is utterly open, without any obstacles, so if the formation is broken, the team will be instantly wiped out. "Actually, this is my first time tackling a Commander-tier lair..." "I can provide healing and defense, but the defense is rather weak and may not withstand powerful attacks..." Huddled along the edge of a corner, Tao Juan spoke with a weak tone. Typically, many beast tamers at high levels don't attempt Commander-tier dungeons because most lairs are eerie and foreboding, akin to how not every player can handle horror games. Simultaneously, the girl with a VR helmet, specializing in mechanical types, was so nervous that she could barely hold it together. She, just a mere support-type mid-tier beast tamer, what gives her the gall to challenge a Commander-tier lair? A single high-level minor monster could tear her apart! "I’ll take on the defense role. Although the Extinguishing Fire Armor has poor attack power, at least it's tough with a decent health bar~~~" At this moment, Chi Yan shyly proposed. Indeed, the Extinguishing Fire Armor - Purple Calamity might have a peculiar mutation evolution path, but it has more abilities, and its base stats are terrifyingly high. Among the five present, only Yu Bo remained calm, while Lian Xing seemed completely disinterested, almost as if she were about to fall asleep. To be honest, when assigned to such a densely packed model small dungeon, the battle seemed predetermined to be over already, didn't it? "Whoosh——!!!" In the next second, as a vast amount of steam billowed out, Moon Embrace Gem Hammer's figure slowly emerged. Sure enough, the strongest Moonlight Rabbit had chosen the Moonlight Rabbit to fight!! Seeing this, a look of relief replaced the solemn expression on Xiaokui's face. She had been worried the opponent might suddenly play a hidden ace. Since it's the same Moonlight Rabbit, it's good; we'll eliminate them here~~~ Without that absurdly powerful red sundial, what could this Moon Embrace Gem Hammer possibly achieve alone!? Yet... At that moment, Xiaokui suddenly froze as an unbidden thought flitted through her mind. She unconsciously recalled the first time she encountered the strongest Moonlight Rabbit. Maybe she almost got overturned by the giant Moonlight Rabbit at that time...? An extreme sense of foreboding suddenly surged within Xiaokui. Meanwhile, in Cang Ying Academy’s dungeon area, a girl dressed in a cherry-colored yukata stood in the very center of the arena. She flagrantly defied human logic and norms, standing at a crossroads where she could be attacked from all 360 degrees!! [Countdown ends, battle begins] "Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish——!!!" As the battle commenced, continuous flashes of white light appeared chaotically. Fierce, high-level biological types began to materialize all around the arena. The Bloodthirsty Arena was composed of 95% biological types, with the remaining 5% being high-level weapon types wielded by the biological entities included therein. The final boss comprised one Commander-tier biological type and one Commander-tier weapon type, surpassing even the pressure and combat capability of the final three bosses in Star Plains!!! Nonetheless, in the face of this surging swarm of biological creatures, the Cang Ying Academy head did not even bat an eye, maintaining an expression as cold as frost. Mere seconds later, a massive, black-furred tiger, the first of the high-level biological types, stormed within three meters of her. Before the startled eyes of everyone who watched with bated breath, the tiger was about to tear through the ceased Lihua Curl girl... With a sudden "whoosh," without warning, the black tiger's body was instantly shredded by a dense array of pink threads, transforming it into minced meat and sauce on the spot. Next, under the incredible gazes of the crowd, the blurry pink threads, difficult to detect with the naked eye, circled the Bloodthirsty Arena like a birdcage, ferociously sweeping through. "Whoosh——" "Whoosh——" "Whoosh!!!!" A torrent of scattered blood and torn limbs painted a fearsome scene of carnage. Under the sweeping cut of the pink threads, no high-level biological type could withstand—not one avoided being shredded almost instantly. Eventually, the monsters entrenched in the arena were entirely purged, leaving the dungeon unable to spawn new creatures temporarily. The entire scene fell into dead silence, not a sound was heard. Tens of thousands of bewildered spectators stared at the stoic girl in sheer disbelief, even forgetting to type comments. Then, a massive array of pink threads began gradually coalescing behind the girl, molding into a form entirely shaped by pink threads, an elemental embodiment. At this moment, an unparalleled sense of suppression resonated through the screens, shaking the hearts of all who watched... It is—— Commander-tier—Elemental Type—Crimson Sakura Symphony!!!! [Cang Ying Academy, Progress 5%] [Yulan Academy, Progress 0%] After a few seconds of silence, the entire livestream erupted into a frenzy. Whether fans of Xiaokui or Lian Xing, or those habitually disparaging Cang Ying Academy's potential military power, were all left stunned and open-mouthed. "That’s unbelievably strong, right?" "See that? That's a true Commander-tier!!!" "This is the level closest to the Ten Titans!!!" Xiaokui not only watched but immediately began fervently bowing down in reverence, singing praises with overwhelming admiration. This is the dominion and intimidating presence of a Commander-tier beast!!! No matter how mighty a high-tier beast may be, an insurmountable barrier shall always exist between it and a Commander-tier creature!! Ultimately, the reason the Super Gold Wheel could defeat one of the Ten Titans, Heavenly Tomb, was only that the Heavenly Tomb casually accepted the defeat of its AI projection, considering it beneath them to engage personally, right? In light of such a monumental disparity in power... Without the ability to utilize the Sundial, how could Moon Embrace Gem Hammer have any opportunity to overturn this defeat...!? Chapter 62: Moonlight Rabbit Fully Unleashed, Lian Xing's True Strength Revealed! [5000 words] "Swish swish swish swish——!!!!!" At the heart of the Bloodthirsty Arena, countless pink threads were like stage lights, continuously weaving around the Lihua-curled girl, slicing and dancing, gleaming with brilliance, as flesh and blood transformed into slurry and mush, annihilating all high-tier beasts nearby. Meanwhile, her teammates had predictably huddled at the periphery, not even bothering to lend a hand, seemingly believing that Crimson Sakura Symphony alone could end the entire contest. Indeed, that was the reality... When a Commander-tier appears, the nature of the match shifts entirely. In general terms, high-tier beasts facing a Commander-tier opponent resemble undeveloped infants, with no chance to strike back or claim victory. Undoubtedly, this had become a massacre stage solely conquered by Crimson Sakura Symphony. "That's terrifying, girls! This is the power of a Commander-tier, residing on an entirely different plane than high-tiers!!!" "With this slaughter speed, it seems like they’re about to break the fastest record for this dungeon..." "Not just breaking the record, but surpassing it by seven or eight times! No wonder they match the level of the Ten Titans, as graduates honing their skills cannot compare to the seasoned Commander veterans!!" "In this way, Cang Ying Academy might finally achieve its long-awaited promotion to a Ten Titan Academy this year!!?" At this moment, virtually every spectator in the livestream was overwhelmed by the lethality exhibited by Crimson Sakura Symphony. The progress of Cang Ying Academy in the dungeon soared like a rocket, while Yulan Academy’s team's actions appeared foolish, almost like a ridiculous clown skit. "Bang, bang bang bang!!!!" "Boom!!!!" Externally, sparks flew, relentless bombardments and collision sounds echoed constantly. Cowering in the corner, the Extinguishing Fire Armor—Purple Calamity—lowered its enormous wings behind it, sheltering five powerless, fragile girls. Meanwhile, above Tao Juan's head, a multicolored peach blossom umbrella rotated like a spotlight, illuminating the surroundings. High-tier — Biological Type — Five-colored Emerald Peach! Under the influence of Five-colored Emerald Peach's innate abilities and battle skills, all incoming attacks slowed and were subsequently deflected by the massive bat wings of the Extinguishing Fire Armor. However, as more and more wild creatures continued to spawn outside, the frequency of their attacks escalated to alarming levels. The body of the Extinguishing Fire Armor—Purple Calamity—began to tremble violently. [Cang Ying Academy, Progress 9%] [Yulan Academy, Progress 0%]
