Chapter 257: Legendary Pets Emerge One After Another
Humans can step up, at least they can still fight.
Now they're testing pets, and Duan Shulin has no options at all.
Although he also possesses an Unparalleled Pet, compared to the Phecda, it really is insignificant.
Not only Duan Shulin, everyone here with status and position shakes their heads at seeing Phecda's pet.
Luckily, they don't have to compete against Phecda; otherwise, fearfully, more than ninety percent of those present would leave.
"I wonder about that kid's background, bringing out Phecda implies he's from a Celestial King lineage, but I haven't heard of such a figure from the King family, which doesn't make sense," Duan Shulin pondered aloud.
Next, someone else challenged the Purple Robe, various top-notch pets dazzled Duan Shulin, Chen Guan, and Qin Ziyu, some pets even Duan Shulin, whose family owns a pet competition arena, hadn't seen.
"Today was certainly an eye-opener, these pets from elite families are astonishing," Duan Shulin grew more startled as he watched.
Initially, he thought Phecda was the limit, but now, there are four similar pets emerging this moment, and others are powerful and rare despite not being Great Cave Heaven pets, making Duan Shulin salivate; any single one is a priceless treasure.
Chen Guan noticed a pattern, Purple Robe's pets for combat against First Awakening Cultivators were the Profound Purple Jade Lion, against Second Awakening Cultivators were the Winged Flying White Jade Tiger, and against Third Awakening Cultivators was the Jade Flood Dragon.
Though their levels differ, it's clear from statistics: the Profound Purple Jade Lion had the highest pass rate, Winged Flying White Jade Tiger second, and Jade Flood Dragon was toughest, with no pet passing yet.
"Is this disregarding Third Awakening Cultivators, eliminating older ones? If so, why invite them at all?" Chen Guan mused privately.
All three were Second Awakening, facing the Winged Flying White Jade Tiger, Chen Guan calculated that the Ghost-Eyed Python should have a fighting chance.
Though its level was slightly lower, its physical power and robustness were advantageous.
The key issue is, Winged Flying White Jade Tiger can fly due to its wings, generally making normal pets suffer greatly, vulnerably receiving hits.
The Ghost Eye with Twin Dragon Eyes affects even airborne Winged Flying White Jade Tiger, possibly worth a try.
Chen Guan considered the Ghost Eye's chance of success, when he saw Wang Lian up next for challenge.
She stepped onto the stage, summoning a pet.
This time, her summons wasn't the agile cat but something more absurd.
What Wang Lian summoned was a tiny golden bee, starkly contrasting the Winged Flying White Jade Tiger in size.
Seeing her golden bee, Chen Guan knew her strategy was soft overpowering hard, avoiding direct combat with the Winged Flying White Jade Tiger, using cleverness against brute force.
"Interesting idea, but that White Jade Tiger's vision and reflexes are top-notch, can that tiny bee evade its strikes?" Duan Shulin understood Wang Lian's plan too.
Proven fact, that golden bee certainly wasn't ordinary, likely also a Second Awakening World-Defying Secret Spirit.
Flitting around the Winged Flying White Jade Tiger, remarkably, its speed missed catching the bee, getting stung multiple times.
In front of that tiny bee, the White Jade Tiger appeared clumsier despite its previously fierce agility.
Purple Robe didn't prolong the match, declaring Wang Lian passed without further battle.
After passing, Wang Lian exchanged some words with Qin Qiu, her gaze subtly shifted towards Chen Guan's side.
Behind her stood Qin Qiu, who was already a Third Awakening, thus facing the Jade Flood Dragon.
Up to now, no pet had defeated the Jade Flood Dragon.
The Jade Flood Dragon, undefined in origin, neither serpent nor dragon, seemed no ordinary dragon pet, yet possessed power beyond its tier.
Even if Phecda reached level 30, defeating the Jade Flood Dragon was uncertain.
The crowd speculated on Qin Qiu's choice of pet against the Jade Flood Dragon, Wang Lian's strategy provided inspiration; using an extremely small Secret Spirit Pet might indeed work wonders due to the Flood Dragon's large size.
Qin Qiu summoned his pet contrary to audience expectation, using a sizeable Secret Spirit instead of a tiny one.
The summoned spirit wasn't small; it was gigantic, even larger than the Jade Flood Dragon, its mere standing radiated imposing presence.
The crowd gazed at the towering hundred-meter Golden Armored Divine Statue, feeling some apprehension.
Such a massive spirit crushes all with mere force and weight, not to mention its metal body ensuring formidable strength.
Chen Guan was also surprised; this was bigger than Ghost Eye, even more robust.
A building floor is scarcely over three meters; this Golden Armored Divine Statue equates to a thirty-something story building, showcasing the insignificance of humans before it, creating immense awe.
Even more astounding scenes unfolded as the Golden Armored Divine Statue engaged in battle, the clash between Jade Flood Dragon and Golden Armored Divine Statue shook the arena with every impact, as if threatening collapse.
Those close to the arena instinctively retreated again and again.
Fortunately, the arena was vast enough, watching the Golden Armored Divine Statue swing arms, resiliently fending off the Jade Flood Dragon's attacks, seizing absolute power advantage.
After merely a probing two exchanges, Purple Robe announced Qin Qiu passing the test.
No one doubted Purple Robe's leniency, as the glaring terror of the Golden Armored Divine Statue, utterly unmatched by the Jade Flood Dragon, was obvious with open eyes.
In terms of strength, size, and durability, the Jade Flood Dragon was outmatched.
"Such massive pets, truly overpowering, nearly invincible at their rank level," Duan Shulin exhaled deeply, relieved after the Golden Armored Divine Statue was withdrawn, commenting.
Then Duan Shulin turned to Qin Ziyu, asking, "Never seen such giant pets before, is this from a new Secret Realm developed from your Qin Family? Could I collaborate with Qin Family to exclusively sell these pets?"
"I'm merely an ordinary collateral member of the Qin Family, unaware of main family affairs, better ask Qin Qiu," Qin Ziyu replied indifferently.
Chen Guan halted Duan Shulin from speaking further, understanding that Qin Ziyu's relations with the main Qin Family seemed strained, likely hostile, given Qin Qiu's apparent unfamiliarity with Qin Ziyu.
Subsequent participants continued testing, with over eighty percent failing. Even for First Awakening Cultivators, only a quarter managed to pass.
