Chapter 293: Chapter 289: The Heavenly Descending… Footwork!

Looking at the pet beast under the arena that had already been moderately burnt, President Qin nodded slightly, saying, “The offensive and burst power of the flame-attribute mutation is indeed not something ordinary pet beasts can contend with, it’s a pity.”

Although mutations were not as rare as mythic species, for most people they were still something one could encounter but not seek. It was indeed Tang Qi’s luck to get a hold of a mutation. However, if Tang Qi had been a Beast Master instead of a Spirit Controller, his future achievements might have been even higher.

There s no helping personal limitations. Moreover, hasn’t Tang Qi also trained this Fire Claw Sparrow quite well?”

Luo Xiang chuckled, saying, “Anyway, the pet beasts of Spirit Controllers can also be upgraded. They may not necessarily be weaker in the future.”

President Qin nodded. As long as Tang Qi could maintain a good relationship with the Fire Claw Sparrow, even if it were upgraded in the future, theoretically it should still obey Tang Qi’s commands.

“However, the understanding between Zhuge Chen and the Arctic Ice Wolf is obviously much stronger than Tang Qi’s group. Such bonds cannot be accumulated with time. Chairman Zhuge really has a good son.” Yi Yu smiled faintly, giving high praises to Zhuge Chen. Zhuge Xu clearly enjoyed this, but still remained modest, saying, “Minister Yi flatters me. The kid still won due to the Frozen Armor. There’s no comparison.” “Frozen Armor is a legal strengthening method recognized by the Federation, and also a part of one’s strength. If it can’t be used, the Mechanical Engineering Department would indeed be unable to participate in any competition.” “Hahaha… That’s true.”

Zhuge Xu burst into hearty laughter. Meanwhile, President Qin, upon hearing about the Frozen Armor, seemed to suddenly remember something. His face darkened, saying, “That fellow Bai Qi, he is indeed being late again. I knew I shouldn’t have given him that secret realm.”

Upon hearing these words, Luo Xiang shrugged, saying, “No problem. If it really doesn’t work, we can use Minister Yi’s holographic projection. Anyway, the effect is the same.”

“That’s the only way.”

President Qin sighed, stepped onto the stage, looked at the bustling crowd below, and instantly adjusted his state. He declared loudly, “All the young Spirit Controllers, next up is the final battle of this Spirit Controller competition. Let’s invite the two contestants to come on stage!”

The moment his words fell, thunderous applause rose from within and outside the arena. Even the Spirit Controllers who had been eliminated were as excited. Though it was regrettable to lose a match, wasn’t the stronger a Spirit Controller of their own generation, the brighter the future of the Spirit Controller profession?

Especially the armor on Garulu, it made these Spirit Controllers fantasize. Mutations were hard to come by. But the armor on Garulu was obviously a mechanical creation. Could it be popularized?

If they could defeat mutations, wouldn’t that mean their combat power as Spirit Controllers in the future might not necessarily be weak?

Amid the anticipation of the crowd, Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi successively took the stage.

“Zhuge Chen, Arctic Ice Wolf, Low-level Elite.”

“Tang Qi, Fire Fist Bird, Low-level Elite.”

[Name]: Fire Fist Bird

[Nature]: Fire attribute (Mutation)

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite

[Introduction]: The evolved form of the Fire Claw Sparrow, it possesses both Combat System and Fire Attribute skills and has formidable combat ability.

The two introduced their own pet beasts. Being the evolved species from the Big Three in Gusu City, they still attracted the attention of most people.

After all, most of them were likely to follow the paths of these two. Thus, they wanted to see the limits of these two.

Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi were quite polite, but their two pet beasts, one ice and one fire, had already begun competing fiercely before the fight even began.

The contestants are ready. Now, I declare, start the match!”

President Qin gave one last glance at the cloudless sky above his head before announcing the start of the match.

Upon hearing President Qin’s command, the two pet beasts instantly entered a battle mode. But before they had a chance to make a move, a huge shadow suddenly appeared over the arena. Before anyone could react, a figure fell from the sky, landing firmly in the center of the arena.

“That’s… Bai Qi!”

Someone quickly recognized the identity of this uninvited guest in the audience. It was the inventor of the Spirit-Control Orb, the contestant who topped the Federation’s headline year after year, Bai Qi.

“Of course, boss! His entrance is so handsome!”

“I was wondering why the boss wouldn’t show up at this first Spirit Controller competition. It turned out he planned to give us a surprise at the final. I see.” “But how did the boss manage to jump from such a height and not get hurt, are Beast Masters really that strong physically?”

“Who is the boss? He is the genius who created the profession of Spirit Controllers. Can common Beast Masters compare with him?”

“Makes sense. I was stupid.”

The appearance of Bai Qi caused a great commotion. The Spirit Controllers were also mightily excited. But President Qin twitched at the corner of his eye, utterly unable to retort.

This guy, when did he start enjoying showing off so much?

The youngsters these days sure know how to have fun.”

Luo Xiang swept a glance at the green thing under Bai Qi’s feet and gave a knowing smile, and Yi Yu bore the same grin on his face.

“Didn’t I ask you, Delta, to teleport me directly to the ground? Why did you just drop medown?”

Bai Qi gasped a little, although as a Four Stage Beast Master, he wouldn’t necessarily get hurt from falling from this height, especially with Gamma to cushion his fall; the thought of it still made him uneasy.

Gurgle gurgle.

(I’m sorry, Master, but the space here seems to be affected by something and Delta didn’t have time to do the Void Echo.)

Delta transformed back into Ancestral Beast and landed next to Bai Qi, filled with guilt.

“Space was affected?”

Startled at this, Bai Qi then glanced up.

The only thing that could affect space was the Snare.

“Knowing the reason is good enough, but it looks like I should avoid showing off in the future. Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before I bite the dust.” Chagrined, Bai Qi put away Delta and Gamma. He then saw Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi staring at him agog.

“Even though you’re the referee for the final battle, wasn’t your entrance a bit too flamboyant, Bai Qi?”

Zhuge Chen looked speechlessly at the Spirit Controllers around them, who had evidently become Bai Qi fanatics, and couldn’t resist a complaint. “How come I didn’t know that you had this strange talent?”

Bai Qi shrugged, “If I say it was an accident, would you believe me?” Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes but before he could say anything, President Qin interrupted, “Alright, now that you’re here, the final battle is all yours.” “Got it.”

Hearing President Qin speaking, Bai Qi, who was a little uneasy for being late, quickly nodded. He then walked to the referee’s spot and sternly said, “So, the two players, are you ready?”

“Ready.”

“Yes.”

Bai Qi nodded, swung his right hand down heavily, and said, “Then I declare that the final match of the first Spirit Controller’s Combat Tournament of the Federation, officially begins!”

This time, the Twin Pets, which had been brimming with fighting spirit, could no longer hold back and directly launched an attack on their opponent.

The first one to attack was Garulu. But this time, Garulu didn’t choose close combat. Instead, he used the signature skill of the Arctic Ice Wolf, the Ice Arrow.

The Fire Fist Sparrow was clearly very good at close combat. Its previous opponent was caught off guard by its violent close-range fire attacks. Therefore, Garulu had no intention of fighting it at close range.

But it was clear that as soon as Garulu’s Ice Arrow got close to the Fire Fist Sparrow, it was knocked down with a precise punch, failing to cause any damage to it.

“This kind of fire, it looks a bit like Blazing Power.”

Seeing the performance of the Fire Fist Sparrow, Bai Qi immediately spotted the problem.

In terms of attributes, fire attacks could indeed neutralize the Ice Arrow, but there weren’t many who could shatter it upon contact like the Fire Fist Sparrow.

After all, the double levels of the two pet beasts were quite close, and this effect wouldn’t be so clear.

Could it be that this Fire Fist Sparrow is a mutation?”

Just when Bai Qi was guessing, the Fire Fist Sparrow apparently got tired of this defensive counterattack. Its right fist charged rapidly, then swung out a powerful blow. A burst of flames exploded instantly, shattering all of Garulu’s ice arrows.

At the same time, a burst of flames exploded from under the Fire Fist Sparrow.

Using the force from the explosion, the Fire Fist Sparrow instantly closed the distance across the arena. Its fiery fist, like a rocket, thundered towards Garulu.

Earlier, Song Qiuying’s Elite Pet Beast was instantly defeated by this move, not even getting a chance to demonstrate its abilities.

Seeing this, Garulu showed no intention of dodging. Under Zhuge Chen’s command, numerous small openings appeared in its Frozen Armor. A freezing wind mixed with ice blown out from these openings, and an ice storm formed right in front of Garulu!

“Not bad. Both the speed and power of the attack are as expected, though it consumes a bit more energy.”

Watching the Fire Fist Sparrow who was stopped by the ice storm, Bai Qi nodded approvingly.

According to the Federation’s requirements, the Rune Mechanical Armor provided to the Spirit Controllers couldn’t be equipped with weapons with too destructive power. So Bai Qi had made a few modifications to Garulu’s Frozen Armor. This ice storm was one of them.

According to Bai Qi’s prediction, the effect of this skill should be able to catch up with High-stage Skills. Now it seemed that it was not far off.

“The armor again?”

Watching the Fire Fist Sparrow ceaselessly throwing punches, trying to break the ice storm, Tang Qi frowned slightly, tightly clutching his Spirit-Control Orb. The Fire Fist Sparrow on the field also sensed Tang Qi’s thoughts and suddenly gave up on breaking through the ice storm. Instead, it flew skywards on the force of the ice storm.

Before anyone could react, the Fire Fist Sparrow, having reached the peak, dived down sharply. Dense flames instantly enveloped its right foot, making it look like a falling meteor, as it plummeted towards Garulu.

Holy crap, isn’t this the legendary falling… kick?

Watching the imposing Fire Fist Sparrow, Bai Qi was taken aback.

As a Fire Fist Sparrow, you ‘re using a kicking technique? Are pet beasts keeping their abilities that hidden these days?
