“Guardian match?”
Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled, while Gao Cheng on his side explained, “Simply put, a guardian match is like setting up a stage for a duel. You can choose whether to attack or to defend. The one who defends the most times wins.”
Han Wei pursed his lips and said, “This method is a huge test of the stamina of the beast and the Beast Master. It’s quite troublesome. Tsk, if I had known, I wouldn’t have come.”
“Oh, I see.”
Bai Qi finally understood but noticed everyone was looking at him strangely. He couldn’t help but ask, “What is it? Is there something on my face?”
“This is basic knowledge for Beast Masters. You don’t know?”
Lu Yuan looked at Bai Qi speechless. He could not fathom how Bai Qi had attained such strength in a mere month.
I had no choice. I’m a mechanical weaponry student. I’ve never studied these topics.”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders innocently.
Well, it seems like everyone has no other questions. Let’s begin then.”
As soon as Wen Ruoshui announced the start of the contest, he stepped down and a professional referee replaced him.
“This guardian match uses a point system. Each player has one chance to attack and one chance to defend. One point will be awarded each time a player defends successfully. The points of defeated players will also be added to the victor’s total.”
“So, who wants to be the first defender?”
As soon as the referee’s words fell, a contestant emerged from the Haoli Dojo and took the lead.
“Haoli Dojo student, Tian Ping, at your service.”
Tian Ping stepped into the center of the arena, and a six-armed beast slowly appeared from a light-white array.
[Name]: Mighty Frog
[Race]: Combat System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Blast Punch, Double Kick, Stomp, Vortex Palm
“Chairman Wen, this student of yours is quite talented. How come he hasn’t become a professional Beast Master yet?”
President Qin glanced at Tian Ping’s Mighty Frog a few times and asked, “This Mighty Frog, it must be close to the second stage, right?”
Wen Ruoshui chuckled, “President Qin, you flatter him. This kid only knows how to fight and nothing else, that’s why he hasn’t been able to pass the exam. It’s quite embarrassing.”
I don’t believe you.
President Qin’s smile remained, but he was cursing inwardly.
This Mighty Frog is at least at the first stage, eighth level. Its endurance attribute is pretty good, and if you think Wen Ruoshui didn’t plan this, then he might as well quit after all these years.
These days, even Combat System Beast Masters have so many tricks.
Lucky we are also prepared. Otherwise, we would really fall for his scheme.
The contestants below also noticed the difference in the Mighty Frog. Lu Yuan, in particular, started thinking of strategies.
In a guardian match, one wins by accumulating points, so under normal circumstances, the latter you enter the arena, the greater the advantage. Tian Ping’s Mighty Frog is an evolved form of Braced Frog and excels at close combat. However, his own Ghost Bone Giant Tiger is also of the close combat type. Even with the boost from Intimidation, he doesn’t have much advantage. Maybe it’s better to wait and see.
“No one wants to challenge? I guess I’ll go first then.”
Seeing no one willing to take the lead, Bai Qi decided to step onto the stage, but Han Wei beat him to it.
“Sorry, I have an appointment later, so I’ll go first.”
So what if you have a meeting? I was planning to finish early and go home to sleep.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, but he still stepped down.
Han Wei waved at Bai Qi and then summoned his Wind Demon Wolf. He told
Tian Ping, “I’m in a hurry, so can we speed this up?”
Tian Ping shrugged, indicating he didn’t mind. The referee on the side decided to start the match.
“Let the match begin!”
As soon as the announcer finished speaking, the Wind Demon Wolf vanished with a heavy stomp. It started running rapidly around the ring, launching blades of wind from all directions towards the Mighty Frog.
Knowing that the Mighty Frog’s close combat abilities were extremely strong, Han Wei naturally wouldn’t be so foolish as to engage in such a fight. Moreover, his Wind Demon Wolf also had powerful long-range capabilities.
“Mighty Frog.”
Seeing that Han Wei did not intend to engage in close combat, Tian Ping conveyed a thought to the Mighty Frog. He showed no surprise.
Ribbit, Ribbit.1
The Mighty Frog gave a low croak and its burly body nimbly evaded all the wind blades. Then, with a heavy stomp, an invisible shockwave spread out in all directions.
Stomp.
Han Wei evidently hadn’t anticipated the Mighty Frog’s quick movements. The Wind Demon Wolf was instantly engulfed by the shockwave before it could evade, and fell heavily to the ground.
Immediately after, the Mighty Frog sprang up, its heavy foot aiming for the Wind Demon Wolf. The Wolf hurriedly dodged, but the Mighty Frog’s six arms all swung together, miraculously creating a giant water vortex in the air and forcefully pulling the Wind Demon Wolf back in.
Thump!
The Wind Demon Wolf failed to dodge in time and was struck down by all six arms of the Mighty Frog, crashing to the ground and losing its combat strength.
“Han Wei, you were defeated just like that?”
Seeing Han Wei defeated so easily, Gao Cheng, who was familiar with him, found it hard to believe. The remaining competitors also snuffed out their desire to challenge him.
Despite his wish to end the match as early as possible, Han Wei hadn’t fool around. But he hadn’t envisioned such an outcome.
“There’s something off about that guy’s level.”
Han Wei spat bitterly, called back his Wind Demon Wolf, and stepped down from the stage. He cautioned, “His pet beast’s level and skill proficiency are pretty high. Be careful.”
Be careful, how do we be careful?
Lu Yuan’s face contorted.
They originally planned to let others wear down this guy first, but if even Han Wei was defeated in a flash, they would probably be unable to drain even a bit of the opponent’s strength on stage.
“Level problem?”
Bai Qi glanced at Tian Ping’s mature face, and everything suddenly clicked.
This old man was impersonating a young man to participate in the
competition. This was absolutely despicable.
He needed to be seriously suppressed.
Seeing Bai Qi seemed to be ready to step in, Gao Cheng warned anxiously, “Bai
Qi, you’re not in the best condition. Maybe I should give it a go first?”
“No need. I am afraid if I wait any longer, I would fall asleep.”
We didn’t allow you to go on stage because we didn’t want that to happen!
Feeling like you could collapse at any time…
If even Bai Qi lost, the younger generation of Gusu City would be completely suppressed by the Haoli Dojo.
By then, who knew what the professional assessment difficulty would turn into.
Bai Qi and Alpha went up on the stage together. Before they could introduce themselves, a shout of surprise came from the spectator seats of Haoli Dojo.
“Is that you?! That treacherous bastard?!”
Who is badmouthing me?
Bai Qi followed the voice, only to see Shi Yong glaring at him indignantly, as if he couldn’t wait to jump up onto the stage and have another round with him.
It’s him? That explains it.
Seeing that Shi Yong was the one speaking, Bai Qi couldn’t find the words to explain, but involuntarily studied both Tian Ping and Shi Yong.
“What, is there something on my face?”
Tian Ping asked, a bit embarrassed by Bai Qi’s scrutiny.
Nothing, just noticing how all the individuals from the Haoli Dojo look so old… ahem, mature. Yes, mature!”
Bodybuilding really does make you age… laying low is surely the best way to go..
