Chapter 519: Chapter 519
Death Gun practically rose from the dead to express his shock alongside Bai Lu.
What did you say? Do you have the guts to say that again?
"Kongkong Yi!" Others from the Stellar Moon team began to shout as well. None of them expected her to give up without a fight.
Her surrender led to a new announcement.
[Stellar Moon’s World’s defender #6, Kongkong Yi, has admitted defeat.]
Even the Blue Planet citizens were quite shocked by this outcome.
"Huh? She’s admitting defeat just like that? From what we know, Kongkong Yi should be their number one expert in the Space attribute and defeated a Legendary beastmaster while she was still level 6.
"Even if Lu Ran is incredibly strong, it shouldn’t be to the point where she couldn’t even put up a fight." Medusa Queen was very puzzled.
Isn’t she worried about being hated by everyone she knows?
"This woman...” The Blue Planet team members exchanged glances.
Some of them were aware of the fact that she tried to switch sides before the World War, but wasn’t able to get her way because of Limitless City. Unexpectedly, this was how she decided to handle her battle.
She must know something that we don’t.
Most people didn’t believe that Lu Ran was so oppressively powerful enough to make his opponents surrender out of fear.
The Stellar Moon audience only had one word on their mind as they stared at Kongkong Yi. Lu Ran wasn’t expecting such an effortless victory either.
"Kongkong Yi has always been mysterious. She’s only appeared in public five times and put on a shocking display each time. After watching her fight, Divine Throne claimed that no one could surpass her attainments in the Space attribute. How did she end up ?"
"Maybe this is all a misunderstanding or part of some greater strategy." Some viewers began to speculate.
"She isn’t confident in beating Lu Ran.”
Although Bai Lu and Death Gun ate up the Nine-Tailed Cloud Cat and the Mechanical Blood Angel’s stamina, Lu Ran still had at least two more familiars. Judging from their kin, they weren’t going to be a walk in the park.
Since she had no confidence in winning, it was probably better to let Sprite Queen take the stage to keep the pressure on Lu Ran while she conserved her strength for the second half of the competition.
Regardless of the reason, the audience couldn’t stay quiet. Many of them wanted an explanation.
"I am not his opponent, and I wouldn’t be able to tie him down much either, so I didn’t want to waste my energy. I will go all out against any other opponent from Blue Planet. I will leave Lu Ran to a more worthy foe."
This made everyone go silent.
Kongkong Yi was being completely honest as she had a better understanding of Lu Ran than most. Forget the Six-Path Flower. Just that dog of his wasn’t something a normal Legendary-rank creature could handle.
Instead of running toward certain defeat, the smart decision was to have the Epic-Legendary beastmasters take a shot at him. The level advantage would overcome Lu Ran’s species rank advantage. There was still hope. Read full story at nοvelfire.net
Kong Kong Yi didn’t care about what anyone else thought. As the messenger of the Void God, she had fought in the void for significant periods of time and rarely interacted with other people.
She decided to conserve her energy for the second half so that she could pull a good trait off of a Blue Planet beastmaster rather than giving one to Lu Ran for free.
If I admit defeat, then he shouldn’t be able to get a trait from me. This can be considered a victory in its own way.
[Reason for Rating: ① Convincing the Divine Envoy of the 'Mid-Level Deity: God of the Void' to surrender without a fight!]
[Winner: Pedestrian A]
[Scoring Reason 1: Pedestrian A made the messenger of the Intermediate-Legendary Void God surrender without a fight!]
"Huh?" Bai Lu and Death Gun both stood up.
The revelation once again shook the audience. They didn’t expect Kongkong Yi to be a messenger as well.
The real shocker was actually happening to Lu Ran.
[Congratulations on receiving the super trait crystal (Surrender): Allows the user to surrender when facing a stronger opponent. Once it does, its speed will increase significantly, and its Space attribute movement skills will be more effective. Domains won’t be able to trap it as easily.]
[The next challenge will start in 5 minutes.]
Although it wasn’t what he expected, Lu Ran was still able to obtain a trait, so he couldn’t complain. Otherwise, he would have to go find Kongkong Yi and the Void God for revenge later.
How could the Void clan behave like that? Without the resolve to face powerful enemies, how would they protect the Stellar Moon World from the dangers of the void?
“What a smart young lady." Lu Ran once again put on his act.
"Next up should be Sprite Queen, right? I advise you to admit defeat as well."
Sprite Queen cast a sideways glance at Kongkong Yi before approaching the stage. She donned a white robe with brown stripes, over which her long blond hair fluttered in the air as she walked.
"I will follow our strategy and finish you off."
Although Kongkong Yi didn't say anything, Sprite Queen said a few words to help her save some face.
Sprite Queen’s words gave the Stellar Moon audience some comfort.
"There really is a deeper strategy! Kongkong Yi made the strategic choice to save her energy for the second half. Hopefully, Sprite Queen will know how to deal with Pedestrian A."
"Right. Regardless of how powerful he is, he’s still only level 6 at the end of the day. Defeating a level 7 beastmaster should be his limit."
"Sprite Queen, Mechanical Leader, and Divine Throne have all cleared the ascension realm to reach level 8."
A level 6 beastmaster could raise their familiar up to Level 70, while a level 7 beastmaster could raise their familiars up to level 80. Of his previous opponents, the three messengers were all Legendary beastmasters, but none of them had the time to cultivate their familiars to level 80 yet.
This was what made Sprite Queen different. As an Epic-Legendary beastmaster, she would inevitably have level 80 familiars. She had a clear advantage in this aspect. When two familiars were of the same rank, a ten-level gap was insurmountable.
Even if Lu Ran had a level 70 Low Legendary, as long as Sprite Queen had a level 80 or higher Quasi-Legendary, then she would be able to put up a decent fight. Once again, the embers of hope rekindled in the audience.
Bai Lu and the others were talented, but ultimately, they were still members of the younger generation that rose to prominence after the emergence of Limitless City. Sprite Queen and her peers had already stood at the peak since before Limitless City came about.
"Based on our current intel, Lu Ran is Blue Planet’s strongest beastmaster. It’s already very impressive for him to get so far. Too bad it’s the end of the line for him. Even if Lu Ran can score another victory, he won’t be able to defeat everyone. Blue Planet’s winning streak is finally coming to an end!"
The Stellar Moon team stared intently at the stage while the crowd held their breath in anticipation.
"Does your Mechanical Angel still have any juice left? If possible, I would like to fight it. I'm actually really interested in its summoning ability."
Lu Ran smiled slightly as he could tell that she was hoping to get a good trait off of him.
"The skill consumed too much power, so she won’t be returning to the stage. However. I still only need one familiar to beat you. Even if you are level 8. If you beat my next familiar, then I don’t mind bringing out #18 again to summon a more worthy opponent for you. Whether that happens will depend on your ability, Auntie."
Sprite Queen’s eyes widened as she radiated killing intent. Although she looked to be in her twenties or thirties, everyone knew that she was already in her forties or fifties. Her youthful appearance was a unique benefit of her bloodline.
It was one thing for Lu Ran to belittle her, but he went as far as mocking her age. Sprite Queen was clenching her fists in anger.
"It’s over for him,’ Divine Throne muttered.
"I refuse to believe that a level 6 beastmaster can beat a level 8.”
“Yes, especially since Sprite Queen achieved something none of us were capable of," Mechanical Leader added.
[Defender #7: Sprite Queen]
[Challenger #1: Pedestrian A]
[Countdown: 10... 9...]
Sprite Queen didn’t say anything else. Three summoning arrays appeared, and natural energy filled the stage. Three humanoid creatures appeared one after another.
Unlike any other familiars that previously took the stage, Sprite Queen’s familiars incited loud cheers from the crowd. Even the beastmasters from Blue Planet were amazed.
Their reaction had nothing to do with levels or ranks. Rather, each of them looked human-like, much like Six-Path Flower’s human form. While other beastmasters had similar familiars, not one of them was quite on the same level as Sprite Queen’s trio. What stood out even more than their appearance were their attributes.
[Species: Lily Queen]
[Species Rank: Quasi-Legendary]
[Species: Rose Queen]
[Species Rank: Quasi-Legendary]
[Species: Tree Sprite]
[Species Rank: Superior Overlord]
The familiars looked as if roses, lilies, and a cherry blossom took human form. They were right out of a fairy tale. All of them shared the same Sprite attribute instead of any of the more common ones. This was a completely unknown attribute.
