106 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

"Isn't it true that your attack range is inferior to missile types, your precision and range fall short of archery types, and your overall damage is completely outclassed by elemental types' full-map explosions? So what on earth gave you the confidence to specialize in this path!?" At the end of the coastline, a green-haired girl stood alone. One hand supported the lower part of her bow, while her mechanical qilin arm tightly held the string of her arrowless bow. With a cold expression, she questioned herself in a whisper. In last year's league, the people from White Moon State constantly compared themselves with Chilian, trying to hype up rivalries and create marketing gimmicks. It wasn't until the semifinals that ignorant fans and ardent supporters of Chilian realized how ridiculous their comparisons were. This epiphany struck when Yan Di Chilinian, deemed advanced in evolution, was pierced through by her Zhe Yue Chuan Yang arrow shot from dozens of kilometers away. Despite Yan Di Chilinian's supposed dominance over other major powers, this didn't mean projectile types were actually viable on the professional stage. Anyone could see how absurd the projectile type was by looking at the win rates of brainless players blindly mimicking Chilian's projectile system. A few seconds later, after a full-power release with the arm of the Tree Spirit bending Zhe Yue Chuan Yang into a full moon curve. With a look of pity in her eyes, Yao Xian silently released the string. "Wham——!!!!" In the next moment, the heavens and the earth shook, the oceans roared and mountains trembled. The explosive void arrow shredded and obliterated the entire coastline. At that instant, clouds in the sky were dispersed by the shockwave. The deafening explosion reverberated for miles, sending nearby teammates flying. Being blasted away alongside teammates when a commander takes the field was a common occurrence, so no one complained. They didn’t even bother to summon their pets, letting their bodies be battered as they witnessed the inevitable outcome unfold. Through their blurred vision, they could only see a green meteor bust across the ocean, effortlessly reaching the origin point zone of Yulan Court. With the endorsement of the Tree Spirit's arm, the speed and power of Zhe Yue Chuan Yang far exceeded everyone's expectations. Without a doubt, insignificant Yulan Court stood no chance against this strike!!! Simultaneously, at this crucial moment, the main camera panned to Yue Tu Lian Xing on the opposing side. Her summoned pet remained as her signature Moongrasp Stone Hammer! No one knew the exact rarity of this Moongrasp Stone Hammer, but despite being a high-tier evolution type, it managed to give Yan Di Chilinian a tough time. However, facing a purely concentrated archery type attack, could its wind manipulation really block it? Under the watchful eyes of the masses... At this moment!!! With a hum. The perspective rotated dizzyingly. Originally fixated on Moongrasp Stone Hammer, the camera suddenly shifted to ten thousand meters above, surveying the entire map from an incredibly high vantage point. It was as if the game had glitched, allowing a flight bug. The scene resembled more a camera malfunction than any skill... [Royal-level Talent: Sky Ruler, activated!!!] This was the second talent Moongrasp Stone Hammer obtained after absorbing the life crystal of the Hand of the Nether Crystal. During the activation of Sky Ruler, it designated any remote attack's impact point within a hundred-kilometer radius, the attack's range and speed unaffected by wind pressure or distance, akin to an inexplicable interdimensional strike!!! However, mind the stamina consumption... Meanwhile, due to rapid camera shifts, no one noticed Moongrasp Stone Hammer’s irises transform. Its left eye's vibrant green hue dimmed to gray-white, resembling cloud waves, and the iris rippled like flowing water. "Boom!!!!" In a moment, heat waves burst forth. Scorching steam clouds erupted from Moongrasp Stone Hammer's ringed ears, launching all four nearby teammates skyward with earth-shattering blasts. Having locked onto the enemy's location, there was no need to hold back. A quick, decisive strike to end it... In the swelling clouds of dust and smoke, as the audience's view swiftly returned, two spiraling sundisks wreathed in burning star rings appeared atop Moongrasp Stone Hammer’s ears. Despite its form being pierced by two massive star rings, no penetration wounds manifested. An exceedingly rare mutation, Red Inferno Lord, was making its league debut!!! "This is..." "The one that instantly annihilated the White Robe Fortress before...!!!" Witnessing this, the silver dragon seated in the Wind God Academy's viewing area couldn’t help but marvel. Truth be told, after witnessing that earth-shattering scene, she doubted whether Tianquan could withstand a strike from Red Inferno Lord, let alone Yao Xian, the second seat. Under the attention of all, the void arrow of Zhe Yue Chuan Yang neared. As its sharp aura tore through the air, the Qingyao coast split in two. In that moment, it seemed Lian Xing’s delicate body was about to be mercilessly pierced. However... In this life-threatening moment, Moongrasp Stone Hammer leisurely twirled the red sun disks on its ears as if playing with hula hoops. As for its master, Yue Tu Lian Xing, she buried her head in Moongrasp Stone Hammer’s embrace without sparing a glance. Finally, as Red Inferno Lord’s rotation reached the spiral ring’s end, at the instant its spring pin pressed against the spiral blade... Elsewhere at the commentating booth, a shocked Bao Yu Shui Tian Liang squinted, sensing an imminent peculiar phenomenon. So, there exists such a type of projectile system...? "BOOM!!!!!!!!!!" A second later, with an ear-splitting airburst, the mountains behind Moongrasp Stone Hammer were razed to the ground, turning the scene into a black and white sparkling starry pattern. For a moment, the entire venue fell into silence. No audience turned away or closed their eyes. All were engrossed in witnessing this breathtaking scene unfold. From start to finish, Lian Xing remained incredibly compliant, hiding in Moongrasp Stone Hammer’s embrace, not daring to peek. If she were to explain the difference between projectile and archery types... It would be— Can your bow simultaneously use multiple combat skills? Let's say Zhe Yue Chuan Yang had two archery skill cards equipped, can you utilize both... with a single shot? No? Well, there you have it~~~ Because projectile types can!!!! [Sandstorm (Purple)] [Moonfall (Purple)] [Tempest (Dark Gold)] [Flexibility Amplification] [Sky Ruler] [Combo x0] [Combo x1] [Fury Throw] [Dancing Chaos] [Wave Breaker] [Extreme Heavy Metal] [Red Amber] [Thunderclap] [Thunderclap] [Thunderclap] "BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!!!!!!" Blazing flames and lightning!!! In that instant, under the dazed gazes of countless onsite and live-stream audiences. A wave carried by fierce wind, augmented by explosive acceleration, saw the red sundisks engulfing Zhe Yue Chuan Yang's void arrows with near-apocalyptic force. Under Sky Ruler’s full range preservation and Wave Breaker’s immunity to initial impact traits, Zhe Yue Chuan Yang and Yao Xian’s prized arrows instantly disintegrated. Simultaneously, with three instances of Thunderclap detonating, fiery exhausts propelled Red Inferno Lord's speed to unprecedented levels, crossing eight kilometers of coastline faster than human perception. The coast once tinted green now turned crimson with blood and flame. At that moment, faced with the rapidly approaching red flare, Yao Xian didn’t even manage to string a second bow; the coastal zone was already swept by the sundisk's outer circumference. "Wow!!!!!!!" "......" "......" In the blink of an eye, the spawning point of Yin Ji Institute lay completely pierced. A few seconds later, the vast mountain wall behind the motionless green-haired gnome girls Yao Xian shattered open. Designed as a derivative map obstacle, the colossal area was cut asunder in one stroke, the scorching blaze scar slashing to an atmospheric barrier 20 kilometers away. In that instant, deathly silence spread. Gazing at the bisected seascape and mountainous terrain, the entire league venue fell into eerie quietness. Amid the silence, accommodating a million spectators, every sound, even a pin drop, seemed deafening. Wait a second, who was it that said projectile pets have short range...? At that moment, even Chilian, sitting fourth among the top ten heads, arose in shock and disbelief, gazing shocked at the cataclysmic scene before her.
