79 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

Even the captain of the Cangying Institute, the young girl with the pear blossom curls, had an ashen expression. Had the full-powered Scarlet Sakura Harmony really been overtaken in an instant? What pet beast did their opponents deploy...!!!? Still, in their hearts, they clung to a sliver of hope: even if Youlan Institute could defeat enemies quickly, it should be impossible for them to conquer the final dual-leader bosses!!! Meanwhile, in the Youlan Institute's dungeon area, Moon Embrace Strike continued to unleash a seamless barrage of Full Moon Arts' pre-cast throwing skills. Though the Full Moon Arts could only harness half of their full throwing strength, even so, once the combo layers stacked up, the resulting power reached an unimaginable level, obliterating all the terrain within the dungeon with devastating momentum. Almost all spectators, including the dean of the Youlan Institute, were stunned speechless. "This Moon Embrace Strike is definitely abnormal. Can this really be done by a high-tier?" "Is Cangying Institute going to be eliminated during the qualifiers? This is just absurd!!!" "Don't panic, don't panic, all we can say is don't panic. The real showdown is with the final dual bosses; high-tier is still high-tier. Bullying the weak and surpassing levels are two different things!!" "By the way, what on earth was Lianxing doing before this? Scaring people...?" "..." "..." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Youlan Institute's dungeon progress finally reached 99%. And the previously astonishing pace of the Cangying Institute now seemed turtle-like, barely reaching 70%. Next, the final showdown awaited... "Boom!!!!" A massive beast silhouette plummeted from above like a meteor, crashing into the ground with such force that it created a vast crater spanning hundreds of meters. Moments later, as the dust cleared, a gigantic humanoid white tiger, towering at 10 meters, stepped forward, a scarlet spiked club as large as a siege hammer slung over its shoulder. [Creature Type—Leader Rank—Ferocious White] [Weapon Type—Leader Rank—Crimson Grip] The dual leader bosses made their grand entrance, their terrifying aura causing the entire arena to tremble, with waves of pressure washing over the audience like a tsunami. In terms of pure intimidation, these two leader-rank pet beasts far exceeded the notorious trio of the Star Plains! Only upon witnessing the ferocious demeanor of these two bosses did the fans of Cangying Institute feel a semblance of relief. After all, the greatest advantage of creature types is their thick health. Surely, such an overwhelmingly powerful Ferocious White couldn't be reduced to defeat by just a single throw by a Moonlight Rabbit...? However... In that moment. Faced with the descending dual leaders, Moon Embrace Strike altered her throwing stance. No longer did she casually flick her ears and cloak, but instead, she crouched down slowly, adopting a serious throwing position. Her layered band-like ears spun like a washing machine drum, wildly stirring the countless pulverized stone fragments within. As she assumed this throwing position, the atmosphere on the field changed instantaneously. A tempest of wind and sand swept over everything. The white mist heat waves emitted from around her body grew scorching, nearly engulfing the entire arena!!! "Let's end it in one strike..." "For leaders of this caliber, a second strike isn't even warranted~~~" Lianxing's eyes shimmered with starlight as she lost interest after a mere glance at the dual leaders before her. Following the indifferent words of the golden-haired girl, amidst the white giant tiger poised to smash its raised red spiked club into the ground, Moon Embrace Strike's back erupted with white mist, whisking all teammates and their pet beasts away in an instant. Then, under the intense scrutiny of countless spectators, her ears flung out in a motion resembling slow motion. At that moment, almost everyone could clearly perceive her throwing trajectory. Yet, the scene before them felt as if it had been cleaved apart. While their minds could grasp it, their eyes utterly failed to process it...... "......" "......" "BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!" In that instant, the world before everyone's eyes transformed into grayscale comic strip lines. Apart from Moon Embrace Strike's scorching, air-friction-flaming ears, everything in sight was wholly consumed by a cataclysmic shockwave. In the next second, walls, ground, teammates, rubble, everything within the dungeon was swept away by explosive gusts, with the deafening roar echoing through the live broadcast devices. Since reprogramming the evolution path of the Moonlight Rabbit, all of Lianxing's enhancements were meticulously tailored for throwing capabilities. Born for throwing. Existing solely for throwing. Specializing in this singular path! In this very moment, the pinnacle scene shattered everyone's perceptions and obliterated the belief that leader ranks were insurmountable. [Flexibility Amplification, Sandstorm (Purple), Violent Throw, Whirlwind, Lunar Crash (Purple), Combo x10] "......" "......" Several seconds later, the white light dissipated. Located within the massive crescent-shaped crater, swirling hot smoke continually rose. Bloodied and fragmented remains sparsely littered the ground, both leader-rank bosses reduced to less than 5% of their original form. In that instant, under the despairing gaze of the Cangying Institute members, the battle drew to a close. Renown and strength second only to the Ten Giants, Cangying Institute met its end in the second round of qualifiers...... Amidst the swirling clouds and waves, the golden-haired girl with the bun stood firm. The arena fell into a deathly silence. — — [PS: Dear friends, I'm asking for monthly votes. If I get 500 monthly votes, there will be at least an 8,000-word update tomorrow.] Chapter 63: Bloodline Battle Skill—Six Ears!! [Cangying Institute Progress: 73%] [Youlan Institute Progress: 100%] In the glaring spotlight, the "Strongest Moonlight Rabbit" Lianxing and Moon Embrace Strike stood at the center of the desolate arena. Before them lay a barren map, leveled and scarred by devastation, shrouded in cloud and dust. Upon witnessing this surreal scene, the entire livestream fell into a deathly hush. Could it be that Cangying Institute's journey for the year ends here...? Meanwhile, in Cangying Institute's dungeon area, nearly every team member wore an expression of incredulity with tear-streaked faces, eyes red-rimmed. Only the captain, the girl with pear blossom curls, maintained a steady demeanor, continuing to fully engage her pet beast in battle. As if oblivious to the outcome, she commanded the Full-Powered Scarlet Sakura Harmony to swiftly annihilate the remaining monsters. "Captain, that's enough..." "It's already over..." A teammate pleaded tearfully, unable to bear witnessing any more. Several seconds later, as all monsters were slain and no new ones appeared, the girl stopped, utterly drained and dejected, whispering softly, "Yeah, let's go home~~~" This year marked her final year before graduation from the academy. Even till the end, she hadn't claimed the title of the Ten Giants, nor had Cangying Institute become a dominant institution. Cangying Institute's journey concluded prematurely...... The outcome of this match defied everyone's expectations. The strongest Moonlight Rabbit had no weaknesses!!!! Whether in unrestricted or single-pet battles, it made no difference to her at all!!! Thus, Youlan Institute's team advanced to the formal league! Meanwhile, the highly anticipated Cangying Institute would go no further than the second round of qualifiers...... As the match concluded and the broadcast ceased, Gazing at the golden-haired girl with buns rising from the battle equipment, the teammates of Youlan Institute found themselves at a loss for words. Even though Lianxing had pulled several upsets before, Instantly surpassing Cangying's captain Scarlet Sakura's progress by dozens of minutes and defeating the dual leader bosses in a single frontal blow—the true extent of her power was beyond belief, challenging reality itself. "By the way, the next procedure shouldn't involve me, right?" "I have some important business to attend to elsewhere~~~" Upon reaching the room's exit, Lianxing suddenly turned and asked. Hearing this, the dean of Youlan Institute paused briefly, skeptically responding, "Lianxing, you're not joining the victory celebration?" "Ah, you guys handle the ceremonial stuff, I'll pass. After all... the main matches are looming, and preparations need to be made, don't they?" "With our team's current level, facing the Ten Giants schools, winning isn't a certainty, right?"
