Chapter 405: Blessings for All
Gao Xin defeated the Red Heart 9, even beating him until he broke through.
But his face showed displeasure; indeed, it ended too quickly.
He won, yet returned with a scowl.
The Red Heart 9 lost, yet appeared exhilarated.
In the New World, another dragon has been added.
"What are you smiling about? Tai Sui intended to guide you, yet you didn't even win against a substitute." Quinn criticized his comrade with a sidelong glance.
The smile on Red Heart 9's face faded as he sat cross-legged: "I really didn't know that randomly picking two seemingly unremarkable ones could be so fierce."
"Had I known, I would have fought Lester instead."
Speaking of which, he also felt regretful.
He glanced around, and the other Quasi-Elephant Kings were looking at him with resentment, making him feel even more ashamed.
Such a good opportunity was wasted as he couldn't even defeat a single substitute!
Seeing Gao Xin unhappy made him feel worse.
He knew Gao Xin hoped to stay longer in the conference to develop his Dharma Body.
His loss was too quick, wasting a chance.
As for asking others to purposely go easy, such words were unspeakable; allowing him to pick a substitute was already a promotion, any further passivity would be against the rules.
"After all, it's your first time, it's quite normal."
"With your experience, other Quasi-Elephant Kings might not make the same mistake."
Gao Xin smiled faintly, not taking it too seriously.
He believed in the challengers' wisdom; at this moment, some were already discussing 'strategies.'
"Never choose the children!"
"Tai Sui transformed into that girl's appearance to defeat Yak, obviously strong."
"Red Heart 9 was too stupid, I bet that little boy is just as strong."
"You don't know, do you? When Tai Sui caused a scene at Sea King Port, that little boy also appeared and badly injured the Sea Snake."
"Wow, the weaker they seem, the more terrifying they are."
"Don't choose the unknown ones either; you don't know how strong they are!"
"Then the ones to challenge would be Lester, Big White Shark, Mandala, Black Pearl, Vine Arhat, Santos, Yamaguchi Shinko, and Shelly."
"Shelly is off-limits; beating her to death would make the tyrant hold a grudge."
"You have to pick Lester, he's the weakest."
"No no, he was the weakest when alive, but as a substitute, it's hard to say now."
"True, Lester excels in agility and long-range attacks, and the substitute's energy comes from Tai Sui..."
"Hiss... wouldn't that mean to us, he's like an infinitely enduring Lester?"
"And the substitute can disassemble and reorganize, enhancing his escape ability; we might be torn apart by his Lightning Arrow."
"How about Mandala then? That guy has more comprehensive abilities, but he likes to confront head-on, making him easier to target."
"Mandala has defeated Hidden Dragon; challenging him is tougher than challenging Santos instead."
"Yes, Quasi-Elephant Kings like Big White Shark and Mandala are stronger than Hidden Dragon, and Santos is weaker."
"Hahaha, you think too much; at best, you only dare win one? No ambition, if you win, win three!"
The Quasi-Elephant Kings chattered endlessly, discussing the strategy to challenge Tai Sui.
Winning against Tai Sui is impossible, but winning against the substitutes is very possible.
The crucial aspect is that the rewards are more enticing than the Elephant King Conference itself.
The conference requires reaching the final four to receive rewards, and those are just monetary.
While Tai Sui, during the Elephant King Conference, held a separate competition of his own!
Mythical combat skills, Super Boundary Techniques, and Taixui Blood that can allow them to perform Dragon Transformation.
Each of these is incredibly valuable and thrilling.
The Quasi-Elephant Kings have been toiling too long; it's too difficult to become stronger, and any of these three could greatly enhance their abilities, even transforming them completely.
This allure is deadly.
Everyone desperately wishes to fight Tai Sui, but unfortunately, the match spinning wheel isn't under their control.
Without a doubt, to challenge Tai Sui, one must first advance to the next round.
The more rounds they advance, the more opportunities they have to face Tai Sui.
For now, their fighting spirit surged, each determined to do their best.
Whoever they face, their mindset is to win, must win.
"Kill!"
"Fuck, it will certainly be me advancing!"
"I will fight you to the end!"
Other Quasi-Elephant Kings' battles instantly became more brutal and fierce.
Everyone used every trick, fully concentrated.
In contrast, participants like Haley, who are SSR-level characters, ended up being heavily beaten.
After one round, all the supposed-to-advance SSRs from various forces were eliminated!
"Whoa, the SRs collectively activated Burst Seed mode."
"They're fighting too crazily, getting serious! Milan State's genius Cancer retreated back home so soon?"
"Even the Black Panther of Lion Hunting Valley, considered the strongest below Dragon Level among the Lion King's offspring, got eliminated in the first round?"
"The Lily of Evil Dragon Castle was beaten to breakthrough and directly disqualified, how funny."
"The armored vulture of Pampas, lacking in fighting spirit, fell short and missed the second round."
"Too fierce, these are true Quasi-Elephant Kings, what are you SSR geniuses doing here?"
"Hahaha, isn't everyone a genius here? They are the kings of the Elephant Level!"
The barrage was ignited by the collective Burst Seed mode of the SR Quasi-Elephant Kings.
They just love watching this kind of fun.
So blood-boiling, putting their lives on the line, clinging to the belief that no matter what, they must win, they left those geniuses stunned.
The geniuses were either beaten to ruin and eliminated or forced into breakthroughs leading to disqualification.
In contrast, the SRs were like: whoever dares to block our path, we will smash them!
The SSRs aren't just capable of Dragon Transformation; for many, reaching True Dragon level is their peak, unable to become Quasi-Dragon Kings.
