Chapter 1253

It evolved just like that? The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then, thinking of something, they began to discuss with unpleasant expressions:

"I was wondering why this person agreed to Franklin's battle so readily; it turns out she has a pet beast that evolves on command!"

"She was probably waiting for someone to challenge her for a long time, and it just so happened that Franklin bumped into her."

"Damn it, she's actually using Franklin to make a name for herself!"

Yantian Star once had a world-famous battle where a little-known Beast Tamer challenged a highly popular A-level Beast Tamer.

Although it was just a challenge, the A-level Beast Tamer's popularity was so high that if he left his house one second, his whereabouts would be posted online the next.

Therefore, the battle between them attracted major media at the time, and many people even came from other cities and countries specifically to watch.

During the battle, the highly popular A-level Beast Tamer sent out his signature pet beast.

Just when everyone thought the match had no suspense, the pet beast sent out by the little-known Beast Tamer lit up with white light in full view of everyone, completed its evolution, became an Emperor-level pet beast that was basically only cultivated by S-level Beast Tamers, and won the match.

Evolution is common in pet beast battles, but an Emperor-level pet beast evolving to a higher level is unprecedented. That match happened to have major media present, and the winner was a super-popular A-level Beast Tamer, so that match was listed as one of the classic matches in history and has been passed down to this day.

Later, some people dug up that the pet beast that evolved to the Emperor level was a pet beast from Tianyuan Star called the Counter-Battle Augu, and its evolutionary path required the determination to turn defeat into victory while in a desperate situation during a counter-battle, amidst the sighs of the crowd.

It could be said that the other party deliberately challenged that super-popular A-level Beast Tamer and even specifically released the news, date, and location of the battle to the media, all to step on that super-popular A-level Beast Tamer to create the perfect evolutionary conditions for their own pet beast and make a name for themselves in one battle.

The scene before them was so similar to that famous battle!

For a time, the people from Yantian University were furious.

However, just at this moment, a voice sounded:

"This pet beast is called Gangqiu Kaine, and all its evolutionary paths are Bond Evolutions."

This meant that the other party was relying on a temporary Bond Evolution, not deliberately stepping on Franklin to let the pet beast complete its evolution.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd's anger suddenly stalled.

A pet beast relying on a temporary Bond Evolution versus deliberately creating such a battle and environment to step on others to let a pet beast evolve—the nature of these two things was completely different.

Many people and pet beasts took out their pet beast identifiers and began to aim them at the white light lighting up in the center of the field.

"No wonder she dared to battle Franklin; it turns out she has a pet beast capable of temporary Bond Evolution."

"I have studied the subject of Bond Evolution; a pet beast's temporary evolution has a time limit. Once the evolution time passes, it will basically be exhausted. This pet beast looked like it had the momentum of a King-level before, and even if it is a late-stage King-level, it shouldn't be able to maintain a temporary evolution into an Emperor-level for long. As long as Franklin persists until the opponent's evolution time passes, he has a chance to win."

"Others might not be able to, but Franklin might actually be able to."

The crowd's angry emotions disappeared quite a bit, and their rationality returned slightly, but their expressions were still not very good.

Anyone knew that the strength of an Emperor-level pet beast and a King-level pet beast was worlds apart; even if it was just a temporarily evolved Emperor-level pet beast, it wasn't something a King-level pet beast could contend with.

In this match, the probability was that Franklin would lose.

At this critical juncture where prestigious interstellar schools were gathered for the competition, if a scheduled student of the Yan Class lost to a Beast Tamer at the same stage, it was impossible for everyone's mentality not to be affected.

Although they knew in their hearts that Franklin's chances of winning were slim, the people from Yantian University still appeared to believe in Franklin on the surface.

The people from other interstellar institutions mixed in the crowd watched with quite a bit of gloating.

"Gangqiu Kaine... Is this person battling Franklin Qiao Sang from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy?" someone suddenly said in shock.

The person speaking was a competition member from the school ranked 14th among the top interstellar institutions.

As a student from the 14th-ranked school, he didn't have much presence in the eyes of the top four interstellar institutions, but he was present on the day the Imperial Beast Taming Academy invited everyone to provoke Yantian University. Hearing the words "Gangqiu Kaine" and "Bond Evolution," he naturally thought of what the people from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy said when introducing Qiao Sang.

17 years old, B-level Beast Tamer, possessing an Emperor-level pet beast.

He remembered that many people had specifically checked later; that Emperor-level pet beast was called Fendiduo, a dual-attribute pet beast of the Fire and Psychic elements, not the Gangqiu Kaine that was evolving now.

The other competition members from interstellar institutions nearby thought of this as well. Their expressions instantly turned from gloating to stiff and suspicious, and then one by one, they spat out words like "Damn," "Shit," "My God," and "OMG," which could very well express their current mood.

At the same time, the members of the Yantian University competition team in the high-rise building in the distance looked at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, their pupils filled with shock, their expressions somewhat stiff.

"This, it evolved just like that?" The man with a scar on his face was stunned, dumbfounded.

Pet beast evolution was nothing; it wasn't as if they hadn't seen a King-level pet beast evolve into an Emperor-level pet beast with their own eyes.

But according to their understanding, this pet beast was a new form of Gangqiu Kaine, and it was currently the only one, and the Beast Tamer was Qiao Sang, a 17-year-old who already possessed an Emperor-level pet beast. This made it very difficult for people to remain calm.

The others around them also lost their ability to manage their expressions.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the training ground.

The people from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy were in the high air, looking at the white light lighting up below and the people around with ugly expressions, smiling and thinking to themselves that this was just the beginning.

A pet beast temporarily evolved into an Emperor-level is still different from a real Emperor-level... Franklin listened to the surrounding conversation, his originally chaotic mentality quickly stabilized, and he nodded to the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit.

He had been educated as a strong person since he was a child, so he naturally possessed a strong mentality. One of the points of a so-called strong mentality was not to think about giving up when facing adversity without doing anything.

"Evil Moon..."

The Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit, which always had a cold expression, looked at the white light growing larger in front of it and revealed a solemn expression.

It quickly opened up the distance, and then raised its claws, black energy fluctuations flickering on them.

The next second, the entire field was shrouded in thick darkness, a darkness deeper than darkness itself.

The figures of the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit and Gangbao, which were glowing with white light, were all covered by the darkness.

Even with Spirit Vision, Qiao Sang couldn't see through the darkness in front of her.

However, she had the Bond Power with Gangbao, so she could still clearly sense its position and state at this time.

In the darkness, Gangbao evolved successfully.

It looked at the darkness in front of it and looked left and right.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a heavy blow hit Gangbao's head hard.

Gangbao didn't move a muscle, and its expression didn't even change.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

In the invisible line of sight, the figure of the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit moved rapidly like a ghost. Each time it changed position, it condensed a black giant energy ball twice its size on its claws and smashed it onto Gangbao's body.

Every time it hit, the entire air around it seemed to tremble.

The Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit possessed the Dark Body and could double the power of Dark-type skills when used in a dark space. Added to the giant version of the Black Core Power, even an early-stage Emperor-level pet beast should suffer some damage... Franklin stared closely at the field, waiting for this pet beast, whose name he didn't know, to reveal a flaw.

When encountering an unfamiliar pet beast, he would attack all parts of its body. As long as it gave a different reaction when attacked in a certain place, that place was likely its flaw.

However, the scene he imagined of the opponent counterattacking wildly and showing a pained expression did not happen.

Franklin's expression gradually became ugly.

As the Beast Tamer of the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit, while others couldn't see the scene in the dark space, he could see it clearly.

In the darkness, that pet beast whose name he didn't know didn't change its expression under any attack, and its body was as steady as Mount Tai, not moving an inch in the air.

Just now, it finally moved its wing, but it only flicked it against the other wing, as if flicking off dust.

The Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit's attacks had no effect on it at all...

Break this dark space first, otherwise Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala won't be able to see your Sky Wing Blade later... At the same time, Qiao Sang said in her mind.

"Gangquan?"

Gangbao let out a cry while enduring the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit's uninterrupted attacks.

What skill should it use to break it?

"Don't use skills, use traits," Qiao Sang responded.

In a situation of level suppression, breaking the opponent's skills often only requires the simplest means.

Gangbao understood.

Immediately after, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky, surging toward the entire battle field like a tidal wave, with no blind spots.

"Evil, Evil Moon..."

The Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit's expression changed drastically, and its body shook violently.

It realized something, raised its claws, and black light flickered, wanting to maintain the energy.

But in the next moment, the dark energy collapsed under the powerful pressure.

The dark space dissipated.

The scene inside instantly became clearly visible.

"The dark space is broken!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Franklin's expression changed drastically.

Qiao Sang's expression was calm, and she said unhurriedly in her mind:

"Sky Wing Blade."

Without detailed information, just by looking at the name of the skill, she knew it was an attack-type skill.

Even if it wasn't the super-tier skill she guessed, a high-tier attack-type skill performed by an Emperor-level pet beast wasn't something a King-level pet beast could resist.

What's more, the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit wasn't a defensive pet beast.

Gangbao sensed the newly awakened skill in its body, and then suddenly turned into a purple light and soared into the sky.

"Whoosh!"

A strange whistling sound of wind rang out.

Gangbao's speed was unimaginably fast. It rushed into the sky one second, its figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the next second it descended like a purple meteorite, its figure so fast that it tore the air, and even formed a strong giant wave around it.

It rushed to a position about 50 meters above the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit.

"Demon!" Franklin shouted.

The Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit had a solemn expression, but it seemed to have been prepared for a long time. At the same time its Beast Tamer spoke, a 40-meter-tall Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit instantly appeared, completely shrouding its main body inside.

Seeing this scene, the crowd exclaimed:

"Demon Armor!"

Demon Armor, a Dark-type super-tier skill, could not only put an indestructible defense on the whole body but also strengthen the body's physical fitness and improve overall defense.

Importantly, when the proficiency was high enough, a pet beast possessing Demon Armor could directly wear the armor and control it to conduct battles, increasing its attack and defense power several times over.

According to records, when the proficiency of Demon Armor reached the level of Profound Truth, the power of skills performed by a pet beast wearing Demon Armor could be increased by up to ten times.

If it was Demon Armor, the attack of a temporarily evolved Emperor-level pet beast might really be defended against!

The people and pet beasts of Yantian University were pleasantly surprised, while the people from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy had slightly changed expressions, thinking to themselves that they didn't expect Franklin to have hidden such a move.

They didn't know that the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit knew Demon Armor, and even Guilun Saier hadn't found out.

However, whether it was the people from Yantian University, the people from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, or the competition teams from other top institutions, their expressions turned dull in the next second.

Even Qiao Sang revealed an expression of disbelief, with only the word "Damn" in her mind at this moment.

On the field, as the Demon Armor emerged, Gangbao placed its left wing over its right wing and pulled it out rapidly!

The huge wing expanded instantly the moment it was pulled out, turning into a giant curved blade floating with purple feathers and glowing with holy white light!

Blood didn't spurt from where Gangbao pulled it out, but a white light connected the pulled-out part to the position of the giant curved blade.

Gangbao slashed the giant curved blade glowing with holy white light down onto the top of the Demon Armor.

Terrifying white light bloomed on the curved blade, as if even space was about to be split open!

The Demon Armor was as fragile as paper, crumbling into dust in an instant.

The giant curved blade glowing with holy white light slashed onto the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit without stopping at all.

"Evil Moon!"

The earth tore apart, the field was split in two by the giant curved blade, and the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit let out a violent scream.

Franklin looked at the scene in front of him, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

The surrounding ground kept shaking, affecting the area outside the field.

The crowd came back to their senses from the shock, one by one hurriedly retreating, or relying on pet beasts to fly to the high air to stabilize their figures.

Not long after, the ground stopped shaking and returned to calm.

In the abyss-like crack in the field, the Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit fainted and fell inside.

Seeing this, Gangbao moved its left wing, retracted the giant curved blade glowing with holy white light, and inserted it back into its right shoulder.

The holy white light dissipated, the giant curved blade changed its form, and it returned to the appearance of a purple wing.

Gangbao flapped its right wing.

At the same time, its body slowly became smaller, its form changed accordingly, and it returned to the appearance of Gangqiu Kaine.

The pet beast that looked like an alarm clock floated over the crack and took a look, then the pointer swung, and a "dong" sound rang out.

The man wearing glasses was indeed a professional referee. At the same time his pet beast made the sound, he didn't hesitate at all, raised the green flag, and waved it in the direction of Gangbao:

"The Evil Moon Tricky Rabbit is unable to battle..."

When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head, and looked at the Beast Tamer who was battling Franklin with an inquiring look.

Qiao Sang noticed the other party's gaze and said her name:

"Qiao Sang."

"In this battle, Qiao Sang wins," the referee continued.
