Chapter 106

The referee announced that Su Yang had won.

But no one cheered at the scene.

Su Yang didn't care; as long as he won, it was fine.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Please choose the pet beast that needs its talent increased!"

In this match, only the Storm Eagle and the Earth Violent Bear had fought, so he could only choose one of the two.

Su Yang chose the Earth Violent Bear; anyway, there were more matches to come, so it didn't matter who went first.

"Ding~ Your Earth Violent Bear's rare-grade talent 'Powerful' has been upgraded to peerless-grade talent!"

"Ding~ Because your Earth Violent Bear's talent has been upgraded, its growth potential has increased from Emperor-grade mid-tier to Emperor-grade high-tier!"

Su Yang clenched his fists, feeling even more power in his arms!

He was very satisfied with the peerless-grade 'Powerful' talent!

Strong defense combined with terrifying power—a proper offensive tank!

He was very much looking forward to what it would feel like when the 'Powerful' talent reached mythical-grade!

Could it overturn everything?

In the second match, Su Yang encountered the number 8 Silver-grade beastmaster.

This Silver-grade beastmaster didn't choose to give up the match; he bravely launched an attack on Su Yang, and then Su Yang granted him a decent defeat.

In the third match, Su Yang encountered a Gold-grade beastmaster.

But this Gold-grade beastmaster didn't trigger a system task; his strength was far inferior to Ma Hun's, and he only had one Gold-grade pet beast, so Su Yang took him down very easily.

In the fourth match, the opponent was still a Gold-grade beastmaster.

However, he successfully triggered a system task!

When he punched a four-meter-tall Gold-grade Magic Rock Beast and sent it flying, all the spectators were dumbfounded!

They had no idea where Su Yang's limits were!

Even Ma Hun, who was watching from the sidelines with bandages on his face, whispered upon seeing this scene, "It seems he was holding back when he fought me!"

This time, Su Yang saved the skill to enhance talent for the Storm Eagle.

"Ding~ Your Storm Eagle's peerless-grade talent 'Blade Feather Sword Wing' has been upgraded to mythical-grade talent!"

Another mythical-grade talent; the Storm Eagle already possessed three mythical-grade talents!

The mythical-grade 'Blade Feather Sword Wing' would definitely make the Storm Eagle's combat power off the charts in terms of aerial combat!

Su Yang suddenly discovered that participating in the tournament wasn't without its benefits.

After four intense matches, it was already late.

Changdu City announced that the matches for the day were over, and the remaining matches would be arranged for tomorrow.

Su Yang stepped off the stage, and Huo Kun gave him a bear hug, "Good lad, your performance was excellent, very excellent, completely beyond my expectations!"

Ge Le'an gave Su Yang a thumbs up.

"Su Yang, you're truly amazing!" Qian Ran ran over, waving her little fists, "Especially that punch, it felt like one punch per kid!"

Qian Ran and the others had already been eliminated, but they hadn't left yet, wanting to continue watching the matches.

This was a rare opportunity to broaden their horizons.

"It's alright, it's just that my strength is a bit high!"

Qian Ran asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me what that pet beast with super-strong defense you have is? When I reach Gold-grade, I want to get one!"

"Earth Violent Bear!"

"Is the Earth Violent Bear that powerful?"

"Mine is a bit special; everyone else knows that!"

Su Yang smiled and followed the others back to the hostel.

Not long after Su Yang left, Xu Xu Wenmao found Ma Hun.

"Ma Hun, I'm going to fight Su Yang tomorrow!" Xu Xu Wenmao's expression was somewhat pained, "I've discovered that Su Yang is really strong; I'm not so sure anymore!"

"He is indeed strong!" Ma Hun nodded, "Very strong!"

"I've found that what I find most tricky is Su Yang's flying-type pet beast, the Storm Eagle. Since the start of the tournament, no flying-type pet beast has been able to last a single round against that Storm Eagle!" Xu Xu Wenmao said seriously. "You've fought his Storm Eagle; do you think there's any way to restrain it?"

Ma Hun fell silent.

After a long while, he said slowly, "That Storm Eagle must have mutated; its speed is ridiculously fast, skills almost never hit it, and wanting to get close to it is wishful thinking, yet its attack power is terrifyingly strong... Unless your flying-type pet beast is even faster than his Storm Eagle!"

"What if two flying-type pet beasts surround it?"

"So the one you were hiding is a flying-type pet beast!" Ma Hun nodded, "Then there's a possibility of getting close!"

Through the battles of the first four rounds of the finals, Su Yang had proven his strength to the people of Changwu City.

He had won four out of four matches, leaping to become one of the top favorites to win the championship.

Everyone knew that as a Gold-grade beastmaster, Su Yang should clearly have two more pet beasts!

But he hadn't brought them out from start to finish.

On the day of the match, the spectators who came to watch had almost filled every corner around the competition field.

Changwu City even used large LCD screens for live broadcasting.

Of course, this kind of broadcast was limited to Changwu City.

With fierce beasts running rampant outside, it was impossible to build signal towers and spread the footage of this match to other cities.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Of course it's Xu Xu Wenmao!"

"I want to know what level of pet beast that Su Yang is hiding!"

"Speaking of which, Xu Xu Wenmao is hiding one too!"

"..."

Su Yang's fifth opponent was Chen Cang, the Silver-grade beastmaster who had successfully defeated a Gold-grade beastmaster.

However, although Chen Cang could fight above his level, when he ran into Su Yang, who was basically cheating, he could only drink the cup of hatred on the spot!

His flying-type pet beast was instantly killed by the Storm Eagle, and Chen Cang himself, along with his pet beast, were all sent flying by Su Yang!

The sixth opponent was a Gold-grade beastmaster, but unfortunately, the opponent's strength was insufficient and didn't trigger a system task.

After six matches, Su Yang had won six out of six, and Xu Xu Wenmao had also won six out of six.

Evening arrived, and the matches were pushed to tomorrow.

On the day of the final battle, it was a sea of people, and everywhere there were cheers for Xu Xu Wenmao.

Standing on the competition field, Su Yang felt his ears ringing.

"Ding~ Task issued: Defeat Xu Xu Wenmao and win the Southwest City Youth Genius Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Task reward: Random mythical-grade talent, and designate one pet beast to increase its talent by one level!"

Seeing the task reward, Su Yang knew he was determined to get it!

He could never have too many mythical-grade talents!

"Both contestants, please summon your pet beasts!"

Xu Xu Wenmao waved his hand, and two Gold-grade flying pet beasts, the Azure Cloud Hawk and the Thunder Cloud Bird, flew into the sky.

"So the one Xu Xu Wenmao was hiding was the Thunder Cloud Bird!"

"The Thunder Cloud Bird's flight speed is very fast; maybe it can catch up to Su Yang's pet beast!"

Su Yang roughly guessed the opponent's intention and didn't care, directly summoning the Storm Eagle.

Then he thought for a moment, and a huge blood-red vine plant appeared before everyone's eyes.

Su Yang was determined to get the mythical-grade talent reward!

The moment that blood-red vine plant-type fierce beast appeared, it firmly attracted everyone's attention.
