105 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

Moreover, the Mystical String's beast system is a complete counter to a throwing lineup! Even though if the Orchid Courtyard loses this battle and falls into the loser's bracket, they still have a chance to climb back up and achieve higher rankings. But is it really fair to encounter such a terrifying and countering opponent right in the first round!? The overly excited head of the Orchid Courtyard gave himself a few hard slaps. However... When the battle information was revealed, the only person unfazed seemed to be Lian Xing. She had already studied the battle records of the Ten Giants in advance and was well aware of the Mystical String's attack methods and lineup system. It's true that the leading rank’s shooting speed, range, accuracy, and power can indeed counter typical throwing systems. But... Those who know, know~~~ When the disparity in power reaches a certain degree, environmental factors and lineup counters are just for entertainment. Meanwhile, in the virtual battle space, Moonlight Bunny was tirelessly studying and practicing battle methods of other rare throwing-type summoned beasts day and night. It's estimated that it would take some more time for its Six-Eared feature to fully develop. Therefore, Lian Xing won’t test the power of Six-Eared in this battle for now. "Let's finish this quickly. There's still more training and research to do after the fight~~~" "..." "..." With those casual words, Lian Xing stood up first and led her uneasy team members into the battle chamber. --- --- [Orchid Courtyard] [vs] [Yin Platinum Courtyard] [Mode specified: Team Brawl (Unlimited) – All matches beyond the top 30 will be forced into this mode to reduce random victories] [Random Map: Qingyao Coast] "Wow, is it actually this map...?" "The longest straight distance map, with no obstacles, and also a famous scenic spot in the Qingyao Sea region at Level 8~~~" With the battle information announced, the host Baoyu Shui Tianliang, standing in the center of the venue, explained this with some surprise. With such a setup, there shouldn't be much suspense in this battle... After all, specializing in a biological throwing system is really niche. It might work against weaker opponents to farm wins. In a true high-intensity long-range bombardment and brutal direct confrontation, how could they possibly contend with mechanical types and ranged weaponry!? At least... Tianliang himself had never heard of any powerhouses who became famous worldwide with a throwing-type combat style~~~ "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—" Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, teams from the Orchid Courtyard and Yin Platinum Courtyard appeared on the opposite banks of a vast river in this unfamiliar virtual map. The clear flowing river sparkled like blue sapphires, while dense white mist rose from the river banks. Soon, as the sea of clouds slowly dispersed, the members of the Orchid Courtyard revealed extremely grim expressions. Because they couldn't see any images or figures across the river!!! With Peach Roll's five-colored peaches, Jade Silk's Thousand Shark Prison, and Chi Yan's firefighting armament Purple Calamity, they simply couldn't attack enemies beyond their sight! The straight-line distance of this map might be around seven or eight kilometers... Meanwhile, seeing this dismal prospect, Lian Xing's fervent fans started lamenting and complaining. "Woo woo woo, Mom, my Moon Bunny is going to be eliminated!!!" "What is this mechanism? Why did we draw this map against Yin Platinum Courtyard? Did they bribe the Summoned Beast Association???" "Type 1 to revive Lian Xing—" "1111111, can she really be revived?" "Lian Xing's fan club should get over it. Do you think a million fans can pick a fight with a veteran star player with twenty million fans? No matter the map, they can't win, can they!?" "Hahaha, with throwing-type attacks, how can they possibly bridge this distance!?" At this moment, in stark contrast to the despondent atmosphere of the Orchid Courtyard, the members of the Yin Platinum Courtyard across the river felt almost certain of their victory. Previously, when they saw Orchid Courtyard competing against the Dark River Courtyard, they had been dismissive. It was just like a squabble between weaklings using throwing types, but when they witnessed their captain Mystical String’s attack, they would realize what true long-range firepower meant!!! Under the watchful gaze of the public, a short green-haired girl, barely over 1.3 meters tall, wearing a Yin Platinum Courtyard uniform, calmly raised her hand. Next, they heard a "buzz." A slender, moon-shaped green longbow, reminiscent of a fishing rod, appeared before her. In that instant, the atmosphere was filled with waves of green resonance, making the once-clear lake surface boil and crackle. Leader Tier - Weapon Type - Crescent Moon Arrow Pierce!!!! At this moment, with the renowned summoned beast of Mystical String and this map’s linear advantage, the Orchid Courtyard had not a single chance of success!!! However... Just at that moment, the entire scene seemed to spin. The official main camera, previously locked onto Lian Xing and the Embracing Moon Mallet, suddenly shifted violently skyward, dizzying countless viewers, as if the aerial bug had been triggered. Simultaneously, looking down from the sky, the entire map’s landscape and the coordinates of the opponents were exposed in an instant. ...... ...... Moonlight Bunny's Royal Tier Talent—Sky Measure, activated!!! Chapter 79: The Shocking Full-Force Throw at the White Moon Prefecture, Ambushing the Royal Tier!! 【8000 Words】 "Crescent Moon Arrow Pierce!!!" Under the public's scrutiny, on the edge of Qingyao Coast, the petite green-haired girl in her Yin Platinum Courtyard uniform gently raised her hand. In the next second, an ancient longbow, shaped like a crescent moon, descended from the heavens, its intense shockwave cleared the surrounding sea area, and the air around also started displaying fragmented ripples. Bow and arrow type weapon, the uncrowned king of long-range!! Second in range among all summoned beast types, second only to the missile-type mechanical breed!! Yet, faster and more precise!!! However, just like the missile-type summoned beasts which have easily intercepted weaknesses and can cause indiscriminate damage, the bow and arrow type also has insurmountable drawbacks. That is— The higher the rank, the harder it is to control!!! Especially for those above the leader rank, bow and arrow types are nearly impossible for humans to handle. Only with the assistance of companion beasts or naturally advantaged hybrid beast tamers can one manage to draw the bow. "With unlimited range and remote maps, victory is pretty much assured, isn’t it?" "Captain, if that’s the case, I don’t need to intervene, right~~~" Meanwhile, the Yin Platinum Courtyard's deputy captain stretched lazily, speaking light-heartedly. During regular practice matches, if under the single-pet rule, their summoned beast would assist the captain in drawing the bow. But after the top 30, in the league where all modes are unlimited team brawls, Yin Platinum Courtyard would always appear in the optimal state, with no weaknesses or flaws. And given the Ten Giants' unconditional entry into the top 30, Yin Platinum Courtyard consistently seized a high rank each year~~~~ Hearing this, the green-haired girl nodded expressionlessly, her slender arm wielding the longbow casually. "Sap Spirit Arm!!" In the next moment, as Mystical String's second summoned beast appeared, her entire arm was immediately enveloped by dense green vines, morphing into a luminous, grotesque electronic appendage. Externally resembling a plant type within the biological class, but in truth, an armor-clad in green steel constructions—a mechanical breed. Leader Rank - Mechanical Type - Sap Spirit Arm!! Seeing this astonishing display, the entire arena fell silent for a second, before eruptive cheers roared to life. "A second leader beast!!!!" "Has Mystical String really raised a second leader beast!!!!" "No, how does Orchid Courtyard even fight this!!?" "With this, Mystical String should be on par with Tianquan this year, right?" "......" "......" With the Sap Spirit Arm's appearance, the entire league venue was in an uproar, and the live stream's chat exploded, instantly filling the screen with overwhelming responses. Nobody anticipated that aside from Tianquan, another contestant this year could wield two leader beasts at once!! At this moment, more than half of the Ten Giants present bore expressions of unspeakable wonder. Especially teams just shy of the Ten Giants' power and popularity—those members showed even more uncertain and solemn expressions. Previously, if a team possessed a leader-ranked summoned beast, they had a hopeful shot at claiming a Ten Giants’ position. But this year, it has evidently escalated into an infernal difficulty... Not only had the suddenly emerging Moon Bunny Lian Xing and the Ice Realm Courtyard taken the stage, but also the captain of the Yin Polar Courtyard, Mystical String, unveiled two leader-ranked beasts simultaneously!? "The throwing system, just an obscure sideshow that doesn’t make the cut..."
