Chapter 203

When he begged the receptionist young lady to have that driver take him to the training ground again, that driver had a mournful face, on the verge of tears but unable to cry.

"Why is it you again?"

Three days later, the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly had upgraded to Bronze Top-Grade.

And the final competition had finally arrived.

In the last round of the competition, every Beast Tamer had to fight seven full matches against the seven other contestants besides themselves.

The final ranking would be based on the win rate across the seven matches!

Wucheng was rich and generous; in this Southwest Region City Grand Competition, the Beast Tamer who placed first would receive a reward of ten million Federation coins and a Treasure Pavilion seventy-percent-off VIP card.

Second place would get five million Federation coins, third place two million Federation coins, and a Treasure Pavilion eighty-percent-off VIP card.

Fourth and fifth place would get one million Federation coins each, sixth through eighth place fifty thousand Federation coins each, and a Treasure Pavilion ninety-percent-off VIP card.

Possessing these VIP cards granted discounts on purchases at Treasure Pavilion branches everywhere, as well as priority access to participate in various events!

Su Yang couldn't help but admire the Treasure Pavilion—its advertising was truly brilliant.

The eight contestants lined up in a row, standing on the martial arena, accepting the cheers of the audience.

Among them, the names Xu Wenmao and Ma Hun appeared the most.

Xu Wenmao turned his head to glance at Su Yang, but Su Yang was spacing out and didn't notice him.

Xu Wenmao and Ma Hun were respectively Wucheng's first and second geniuses, and they had an extremely large number of supporters in Wucheng.

At this moment, the City Lord of Wucheng, General Qin Pengcheng, who governed the Federation's Southwest Region, also appeared.

Su Yang had heard Huo Kun mention that this General Qin who governed the Southwest possessed at least King-tier, or even stronger, strength!

With him holding down Wucheng, Wucheng was as steady as Mount Tai.

Qin Pengcheng brought other Wucheng High-ranking military officials and sat down in the pre-prepared audience seats; the head referee announced that the competition would begin immediately!

A middle-aged referee wearing a military uniform slowly walked to the center of the martial arena and announced loudly:

"First match: Su Yang from Seven Star City versus Ma Hun from Wucheng; please both contestants step onto the stage!"

Qin Pengcheng smiled and said to those beside him: "There's someone from our Wucheng in the very first match?"

Qin Pengcheng's subordinate smiled and said: "Yes, this was arranged—every contestant has to face each of the other seven contestants once, and the final ranking is based on win rate!"

"Mm, not bad, very fair!"

"Ma Hun is excellent—despite his young age, he's already a Gold-tier Beast Tamer!"

"Not bad, talents emerging one after another—that's a good thing!" Qin Pengcheng nodded and asked, "What about that Su Yang?"

"Fourteen years old, Gold-tier Beast Tamer!"

"Oh!"

Qin Pengcheng was somewhat moved.

"But Su Yang probably isn't a match for Ma Hun—he's too young!"

"Mm!"

Qin Pengcheng nodded, agreeing with his subordinate's thoughts.

Over on the audience side, almost everyone was cheering for Ma Hun in unison.

Su Yang and Ma Hun stepped onto the martial arena.

Ma Hun looked like an ordinary person, but there was a streak of resolute confidence about him.

Seeing Su Yang, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect I'd be the one to run into you first!"

Su Yang said nonchalantly: "It's fine, we'd have run into each other sooner or later anyway!"

The referee loudly reiterated the match rules, then had both contestants release their beasts.

Ma Hun directly released three Gold Low-Grade beasts.

As usual, Su Yang only released the Storm Eagle.

"Ding~ Mission issued: Defeat opponent Ma Hun."

"Mission reward: you may choose one of your participating beasts to randomly increase its talent by one grade!"

Hearing the system issue the mission, Su Yang's mood greatly improved.

Su Yang was a complete mission maniac; to him, the more system missions the better.

The referee looked at Su Yang: "Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"All good!"

"Then I announce—the match begins!"

All the audience members who had watched Su Yang's previous matches immediately looked up at the sky.

Ma Hun even more so commanded: "Jin Gang Vulture—Jin Yu Body!"

In midair, that Jin Gang Vulture's body instantly transformed into gold.

It was obvious Ma Hun knew Su Yang's Storm Eagle was extremely powerful!

"Storm Eagle—Chain Wind Blades!"

The Storm Eagle flapped its wings, and massive cyan wind blades slashed toward the Jin Gang Vulture.

"Jin Gang Vulture—hold firm, charge in for close combat!"

Ma Hun knew that in terms of speed, his Jin Gang Vulture couldn't compare to the Storm Eagle!

In Su Yang's previous matches, the Storm Eagle had almost always crushed opponents with sheer speed.

To deal with the Storm Eagle, it was best to get close to it, and ideally grab hold of it.

But what left Ma Hun in despair happened—the Jin Gang Vulture's Jin Yu Body only withstood two of the Storm Eagle's wind blades before its defense was broken; it was slashed until flesh flew open, and it plummeted straight down from midair.

"How is that possible? Your flying-type beast is also only Gold Low-Grade—how could it break through the Jin Yu Body so quickly?"

Su Yang replied offhandedly: "Its attack power is also strong!"

At that moment, the battle on the ground also erupted.

Ma Hun charged toward Su Yang with his two pet beasts.

Facing the encirclement of three Gold-grade pet beasts, the tattoo of a Earthquake Bear on Su Yang's body glowed with light.

Soon, something that filled Ma Hun with despair happened!

Su Yang's body could not be pierced by claws, could not be burned by fireballs…

Then Ma Hun and his two beasts were punched one by one to the ground by Su Yang.

All spectators present gaped in shock!

Some soft-hearted girls closed their eyes outright.

It was simply… the scene was too brutal!
