Chapter 336: Battle Against the Emperor Rank! (2-in-1) (Part 3)
"That's a branch of my Prison Flame Turtle clan; I'll make sure they go easy on him." Yan Rong's clone spoke slowly.
Given its current status as a criminal, it's only natural to show some goodwill.
"Much appreciated," Shen Yunshan nodded slightly, and then sighed softly.
Oh well, he hadn't expected Lin Su to achieve anything significant anyways.
With Lin Su's current strength, reaching the top ten thousand would be the goal.
Being unexpectedly eliminated in the qualifiers doesn't mean much to him; the loss is just missing out on the top ten thousand alliance point reward.
With Lin Su's wealth, he probably wouldn't care about such a thing.
It's all about participation.
Those who, like the immortals in the field, did not favor Lin Su included the spectators in the central broadcast room.
[Homebody Who Thinks God Is A Girl: This is really unfortunate for Lin the God; his strength could have reached the top ten thousand, but matching against the emperor tier means he's stopped in his tracks.]
[wx name reset due to violations: Luckily, Lin the God doesn't lack these alliance points, so the loss isn't huge. But to be honest, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing Lin the God lose once (quietly mumbling).]
[Random Mysterious Guest: Lin the God! My Lin the God! Wuwuwuwu...]
[...]
Once the broadcast footage shifted to Lin Su's side, similar comments quickly increased.
But the footage switched rapidly; the next moment, new contestant groupings spurred discussions.
Everyone assumed Lin Su was about to be eliminated here and quickly turned their attention to other groups.
...
"Human kid, I hear you're a pretty great researcher?"
In front of Lin Su, the Prison Flame Turtle, though reduced in size, still very fierce, opened its mouth in a low voice, "Tender-skinned human kid, why don't you voluntarily concede? That way, I won't accidentally hurt you if I can't control my strength!"
"I'd rather not concede; I still want to give it a try," Lin Su smiled.
Seeing Lin Su's refusal, the Prison Flame Turtle snorted and turned its head away.
If it weren't for Yan Rong's implicit demands, it wouldn't have bothered.
Since this human kid is stubborn and insists, it will let him see the vast gap between the emperor tier and the monarch tier!
This Prison Flame Turtle had battled human fighters countless times while in the Red Flames beast zone and Red Flame Immortal Country. Though months have passed, its dislike for humans hasn't easily faded.
Lin Su's refusal to concede immediately stirred up its inner hostility.
It's determined to fiercely teach this kid a lesson.
Another beast matched in Lin Su's group was a monarch-tier Wood Ghost Fish.
This was a wood-element emperor species residing in the Senluo Immortal Country, despite being a fish-shaped beast, it had nothing to do with water, living and wandering in forests instead.
Now, this Wood Ghost Fish silently watched Lin Su refusing to concede, delighting inwardly.
During the fifth round, it hadn't been far from Lin Su; thus, it knew Lin Su's strength was formidable.
The Prison Flame Turtle before them was an opponent it couldn't resist, but having made it this far, it didn't want to give up.
In its view, since Lin Su refused to concede, he would surely team up, greatly increasing the chances of defeating the Prison Flame Turtle together.
Once the Prison Flame Turtle was defeated, it would seize the opportunity to ambush Lin Su when he's not paying attention, ensuring its victory in the sixth round!
Lin Su wasn't aware of the Wood Ghost Fish's thoughts and hadn't even bothered to assess its strength.
If Lin Su knew the Wood Ghost Fish intended to team up with him and then ambush to win, he would certainly say the Wood Ghost Fish was overthinking.
At this moment, he was discussing strategy with Youyou through Telepathy.
"Let's first clear the area, eliminate that Wood Ghost Fish, then use Soul Attachment against the Prison Flame Turtle," Lin Su remarked through telepathy, hesitating slightly, "Let's temporarily not expose the Power of Shattering, just use other attributes; that Prison Flame Turtle doesn't seem too strong."
As this is just the qualifiers, exposing Soul Attachment is a last resort; Power of Shattering should be kept hidden.
"Understood!" replied Youyou with full confidence.
After one human and one pet wrapped up their final discussion, Xie Venerate's voice arrived as scheduled.
"Now counting down from ten, the sixth round officially starts in ten seconds."
"Ten..."
"Nine..."
With the countdown starting, the atmosphere in the field instantly grew tense.
On Lin Su's battle platform, the Prison Flame Turtle glanced at the Wood Ghost Fish slowly approaching Lin Su, feeling increasingly disdainful.
Planning to team up against it?
What a joke!
How can emperor tier possibly be handled by teaming up against monarch tier?
On the other side, Lin Su also showed a strange expression looking at the Wood Ghost Fish.
The target he intended to eliminate first was actually moving towards him.
Wanting to team up?
Lin Su sighed "sin" inwardly, yet maintained composure, firmly holding Youyou's long spear form, and with Xie Venerate's countdown, step by step, walked into the arena.
...
"Two..."
"One... the match begins now!" Song Luo completed the synchronized countdown within the broadcast room.
Yet at that moment, as the broadcast footage shifted, the screen was suddenly flooded with question marks.
[Fire Talisman Master from Afar: ??? What's going on with Lin Su?]
[Flying Air: When I type a question mark, it's not my problem, but I think Lin the God has a problem, Lin the God, don't act impulsively, it's just a single match loss!]
[Star Edge: What is Lin the God doing; why do I completely not understand?]
[...]
Following everyone's comments, host Song Luo finally realized what had happened.
