Chapter 36: Battle the Emperor Rank! (Double Chapter)
He turned his head to look at the livestream screen that had just switched to Lin Su, and he was dumbfounded.
However, with his strong hosting skills, he composed himself and calmly began to speak, "The contestant Lin Su from the Yanhuang Region is currently walking towards the center of the battle arena."
"According to the combat rules, if a Beast Tamer chooses to command remotely, they should retreat during the countdown phase to maintain distance from the center area to ensure their safety."
"And if a Beast Tamer makes this choice, attacking the Beast Tamer during the battle would be considered a violation."
"Now that the match has started, contestant Lin Su has not retreated. Instead, he is heading towards the center of the arena with his beast, and this behavior can only mean one thing."
"That contestant Lin Su has chosen to fight together with his beast."
"But the problem is, according to the combat rules, if a Beast Tamer chooses to fight alongside their beast, then the opponent can simultaneously attack both the beast and the Beast Tamer."
"In this way, contestant Lin Su would find himself in an extremely dangerous situation!" A hint of worry flashed in Song Luo's eyes as he quickly spoke, "We still don't know why contestant Lin Su made this decision, but I believe he must have a reason for it."
"Let's keep watching!"
…
With the word "start" falling, sudden and rampant energy fluctuations erupted across the entire sixth round.
But at this moment, unlike other battle arenas, the arena where Lin Su was located had fallen into an eerie silence.
The Prison Flame Turtle and the Wood Swimming Fish looked at Lin Su, momentarily unable to wrap their heads around it.
"Human, you should retreat!" the Prison Flame Turtle said angrily.
What's this human thinking?
Shouldn't a Beast Tamer be commanding their beast from the rear?
Are you here to make a scene?
With your frail body, even the aftershocks could easily kill you!
Even the Wood Swimming Fish beside it was avoiding approaching Lin Su at this moment.
It began to ponder whether finding this seemingly not-so-smart guy as a partner was really reliable.
"According to the combat rules, a Beast Tamer can choose to command beasts remotely or fight alongside them." Lin Su spoke calmly, "If choosing to command remotely, the Beast Tamer cannot be attacked."
"And I..." He raised his long spear, its sharp blade pointed at the Prison Flame Turtle.
Youyou's petite figure instantly became ethereal and merged into Lin Su, causing his momentum to soar dramatically, sweeping across the firmament!
The terrifying momentum fully erupted, making Lin Su instantly the focus of the entire arena!
Until this moment, the latter half of Lin Su's sentence slowly came through.
"...choose the latter."
"You..." The Prison Flame Turtle's eyes widened, letting out a sudden roar.
"Guardian Beast Co-operation, you're violating the rules!"
The Prison Flame Turtle's roar was so loud that it spread in all directions in an instant, even causing other contestants in the surrounding arenas to be distracted.
In the air, those immortals who had already noticed something was wrong immediately turned their eyes towards Lin Su.
Shen Yunshan's gaze fixed on Lin Su, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes.
It turns out that this kid had such an ace up his sleeve.
He naturally knew that Lin Su's weapon-type exotic beast had undergone a transformation, capable of possession, but he hadn't been very familiar with this before.
Now it seems that the enhancement brought by this possession ability is not inferior to Guardian Beast Co-operation at all.
"President Shen, this..." Xing Yi couldn't help but speak up.
In its view, this human Beast Tamer apparently used Guardian Beast Co-operation; whether it was merging with the beast or the sudden increase in power, it all fit the characteristics of Guardian Beast Co-operation.
In this way, he should be considered to have violated the combat rules and be immediately disqualified.
"This is not Guardian Beast Co-operation." Shen Yunshan stabilized himself, beginning to explain for Lin Su, "Lin Su's beast has a very special core skill called Soul Attachment, which allows the beast to merge with the Beast Tamer and gain enhancement."
"The most significant characteristic of Guardian Beast Co-operation is the appearance of Cooperation Light at the moment of coordination." Shen Yunshan quickly pulled up the video of Lin Su's transformation from earlier, "And when Lin Su merged just now, this did not happen."
"It's the beast's unique skill that's special, therefore, it doesn't count as a violation."
"But isn't this no different from Guardian Beast Co-operation?" Lang Hen, sitting by the side, couldn't help but mutter, and even the other immortals in the exotic beast area felt that such an explanation was too far-fetched.
"Alright, he's just a hall-level Beast Tamer," Wei Miao said calmly, "With his current strength, he's only about on par with the Emperor class."
As the first seventh-realm being on Blue Planet, Wei Miao's words obviously carried a lot of weight.
Plus, as he mentioned, Lin Su is just a hall-level Beast Tamer. Even if he has special means to enhance, it may not necessarily threaten the Emperor class, thereby not significantly affecting the final top ten spots.
Thus, in an instant, the immortals weighed the situation and chose not to dwell on this matter.
Yet, in the next moment, their expressions changed once more.
In the battle arena, Lin Su's actions had not ended. After merging with Youyou, he took out his Cooperative External Armor, attaching it to his chest.
The armor instantly expanded, transforming into light armor that enveloped his body, while even more powerful momentum erupted with sudden intensity!
At this moment, Lin Su's usual energy value broke through a billion!
The terrifying power that surged up instantly suppressed the Prison Flame Turtle's momentum, causing the Prison Flame Turtle to not only become more alarmed but also increasingly anxious.
