101 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

The third seat is occupied by the enchanting Silver Dragon from Fengshen Academy, a graceful young girl who wears a white, opaque mask. Only her fair, slender legs hint at her exceptional allure. Her account boasts 19 million followers. Skipping the fourth seat. The fifth seat is held by Star Rainbow from Lingkong Academy, a young girl with long purple hair and a transparent, tantalizing veil, attracting 14 million followers. The sixth seat goes to Thunder Princess from Xiuyu Academy, a tall girl with golden twin-tails, her body shimmering with arcs of electricity, also with 14 million followers. Skipping the seventh seat. Though the seventh seat is skipped, host Mo Chi puts on a showy display, provoking jeers and ridicule from the audience. In truth, after the league concludes and graduation takes place, most star players quickly fade from public memory, struggling to land advertising gigs. Eventually, they become no different from ordinary students, opting either for domestic life or failing to progress beyond their current level. At least Mo Chi capitalized on her controversial fame to become this edition’s host, earning a tidy sum in the process. ... The eighth seat of the Ten Giants belongs to Heavenly Tomb from Tiesu Academy, a poised and elegant black-haired classical beauty with 11 million followers. The ninth seat of the Ten Giants goes to Aurora from Baifeng Academy, a village girl with glasses and braided brown hair, garnering 8 million followers. The tenth seat of the Ten Giants is Purgatory from Volcanic Academy, a young girl with long red hair draped in a crimson robe, attracting 6 million followers. When it comes to Purgatory, her modest fanfare barely causes a ripple in the venue. This is the recurring narrative every year, already familiar to all. Huanhai Academy's widespread attention constantly outshines the others, casting the other Giants as mere accessories. In terms of appearances, they’re unmatched. As for other abilities, humans stand no chance against the hybrids. If only the mermaid hybrids were willing to market themselves, the entire market valuation would have collapsed long ago. Just when the procession seems to be winding down with Purgatory’s high-definition image, something unexpected happens. Out of nowhere, a blonde girl with a distinct bun hairstyle and seductive starry eyes, dressed in tight, translucent stockings, appears on the projection screen. Her skin is as soft and smooth as milk. For some reason, her every movement exudes a seductive aura, making one desperate to witness her humbled and pleading appearance. The mightiest Moon Rabbit, Lian Xing!!! Host Mo Chi’s expression momentarily distorts upon viewing Lian Xing’s sudden surge in followers after checking backstage intel. After several seconds of adjustment, she resumes, her voice slightly hoarse. "Well, here's a new face—isn't it obvious if you caught yesterday’s livestream?" "Captain of Youlan Academy, newly minted fourth seat of the Ten Giants, boasting 11 million followers~~~" "Moon Rabbit · Lian Xing!!!" Chapter 76: Full Bloom Imperial Tier!!!? Moon Rabbit · Lian Xing!!! The moment the new Ten Giants information is announced, Host Mo Chi can’t conceal her astonishment. 11 million followers for a freshman? And the league hasn’t even officially started yet!!! To think she only managed just over 10 million followers at her peak last year, even dropping to eight million after a scandal—Lian Xing’s follower-drawing power is simply absurd. But who exactly is captivated by Lian Xing? Her beauty, while appealing, shouldn't warrant such a massive following... Looking over the years at White Moon Continent’s past league stars, there were those cold and aloof, crazed and fanatical, purposefully ugly, inherently lustful, openly commodifying themselves, or seemingly sweet but tangled in scandal—audiences have seen it all. However... Lian Xing draws attention mainly from those with unusual or intense tastes. Her features are flawless, aligning with the already abundant perfect scores. Yet it’s her indecent starry eyes and peculiar Mickey Mouse-like buns that stir curiosity, tapping into hidden desires. Anyone who meets Lian Xing’s gaze feels an uncontrollable urge to see her naive facade crumble into submission under pressure. To sum her up in two words—standout!! Yes, her presence is even more striking than the hybrids. "......" "......" "Moon Rabbit Lian Xing seems fitting, but why not call her Jade Rabbit?" "Why Jade Rabbit? What are you implying? But Lian Xing’s tiny form is undeniably cute??????" "You clearly misunderstand; by tracking Lian Xing now, you witness both her as a ‘little rabbit’ and her future ‘big rabbit’ stages, a dual advantage." "True, ‘Moon Rabbit’ doesn’t quite fit. How about Thin White Silk Lian Xing? What if she uses her white stockings as a whip??????" "Wow, good point from the poster above??????" "Can anyone explain what type of people are fans of Moon Rabbit??????" As the live chat swerves into chaotic commentary, casual onlookers can only feel speechless. Are these folks fans of Lian Xing’s looks and prowess, or do they simply wish to claim her for free? However, regardless of their motives, after decisively defeating Youhe Academy, Lian Xing’s position among the Ten Giants is hereby established. Unknown Youlan Academy suddenly finds itself amongst the Ten Giants. Especially in Moon Rabbit · Lian Xing’s inaugural year...!!! It seems Youlan Academy is poised for an unprecedented era of prosperity~~~ From now on, as long as Moon Rabbit avoids mishaps, Youlan Academy could sustain five years of peak prestige, ascending to become a powerhouse in the White Moon Continent!!! That’s the kind of star power the Ten Giants' reputation wields! At this moment, not only Youlan Academy’s team members but even others from the Ten Giants steal glances toward Lian Xing’s observation deck with awe. First showing, 11 million followers...? How did she do it!? Meanwhile, as intrigue sparked among the crowd, Host Mo Chi resumed her commentary. "Alright, dear viewers, now that the Ten Giants showcase is over, let’s proceed to the next event~~~" "Up next, the long-awaited annual league ranking rewards!!!" "Firstly, those in the top 30 receive a commander-grade crystal." "Those in the top 16—in addition to the above—get to choose a gold combat skill card from the association's inventory!!!" "Top 10, in addition to previous rewards, can search for private information on an imperial grade evolution of a commander-tier beast." "The fourth place prize, in addition to previous rewards, includes choosing a rare species from the association’s stock!!" "Third place, on top of previous rewards, earn two hours of tutoring from an imperial grade beastmaster." "Second place, besides previous rewards, allows for an additional pick of any previous reward." "And the first place prize..." As the lengthy list continued, Mo Chi's expression became frozen upon reaching the first place prize. This nonsensical condition appeared unprecedented to her. What’s happening—is there an internal pre-determination for this league’s champion? Hold on, this likely falls under intelligence rewards, leaving no need for predetermined winners, but what’s really happening? Mo Chi’s curiosity was understandable since, mere minutes ago, Lian Xing had sent the method of uncovering an imperial-tier beast’s royal evolution to the kitsune. "First place prize..." "In addition to all previous rewards, acquire one piece of intelligence on the royal evolution of the imperial-tier beast [Frozen Blast Detonation]....?" "For instance: Consume one royal ice-element crystal annually, equip a [Crimson Combat Skill Card], master two bloodline skills (detailed info provided), and so forth..." Once Mo Chi struggled through the announcement, the entire league venue fell into a stunned silence. Countless spectators exchanged glances, questioning if they misheard. What on earth? Isn't this merely a level 10 regional academy league in White Moon Continent? How did it involve royal-tier creatures!!!? At this moment, everyone present was completely baffled, except for the knowing Tian Quan, who stood up in disbelief. "Frozen Blast Detonation—is that the true name of the wild royal-tier creature?" "What on earth is the Beast Association thinking, trying to bring that thing here!!?" "......" "......" Meanwhile, as this eerie atmosphere blankets the entire White Moon Continent, a sly smile spreads across the face of a blonde girl lounging in the observation seats of Youlan Academy, her white-stockinged legs crossed nonchalantly. Even though a mutated and evolved beast can no longer shift its form, it can still bolster its power by fulfilling certain conditions, much like the Moon Bear, currently in its perfect evolution state. Even if full evolution isn’t possible, who could resist the allure of becoming even stronger? Moreover, if it can meet the monarch-tier conditions for two further evolutionary paths, wouldn’t that count as stepping into the realm of monarch-tier, at least by a slim margin? So, no matter what, that royal-tier creature will undoubtedly come!!!
