Chapter 68 The Peak Battle
According to the routines of those melodramatic romance dramas, Chu Yi would definitely encounter various accidents on the way to Venue No. 2, which would delay him and cause him to miss the match with Lin Siyao.

Then all kinds of misunderstandings arose between the two of them, and they quarreled with each other for a long time without telling each other the reason.

It turns out that this kind of blood pressure-raising plot only happens in novels.

Chu Yi walked for five minutes and arrived at Venue 2, then took out the ticket that Lin Siyao bought for him and entered smoothly.

Because the tickets were for a group of relatives and friends, the seats were directly in the second row, and right next to the contestant area where everyone from Wolong Academy was.

"I have arrived."

After Chu Yi sat down, he sent a message to Lin Siyao.

Lin Siyao, who was originally looking down at her phone, was startled and turned back, and immediately saw Chu Yi who was smiling at her.

Lin Siyao also smiled and waved, then sat down and typed, "You finished so early?"

Chu Yi replied with a cocky smile: "Don't you know how strong I am? This kind of game is just a random killing."

Lin Siyao curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Now is the only time you can say such harsh words. Let's see how we deal with you in the finals."

"Let's talk about it after we make it to the finals. I'll die of laughter if we lose to Beiming Primary School." After typing, Chu Yi added a belly-laughing emoticon at the end.

Facing the provocation, Lin Siyao raised a playful smile: "It is indeed more difficult to fight Beiming Primary School than to fight you, but the outcome will not be any different, we will win in the end."

"Hey, I'll wait for you guys in the finals to see how good you are."

"Anxious?"

"I am really anxious to win the championship."

"You should be the solo champion, but this is a team competition. It's useless no matter how strong you are."

After Lin Siyao sent this message, Chu Yi did not reply. He was probably so upset that he didn't know how to respond.

Lin Siyao turned around proudly and looked over, only to find a girl holding a notebook and asking Chu Yi to sign for her. Her mouth was moving non-stop and no one knew what she was saying.

Lin Siyao snorted softly, and her mood suddenly became bad. After turning her head, her expression became serious.

It happened that the camera was focused on the contestant seats at Wolong Academy. Everyone raised their hands to greet each other, except Lin Siyao who had a sullen face.

But she usually has this kind of sour face when she appears on TV, so it didn't surprise anyone.

After seeing this, the host even said excitedly: "Wow, Lin Siyao looks so aggressive today. I haven't seen such a powerful expression in a long time."

"Full of murderous intent?" Chu Yi, who had just finished signing autographs for a female fan, looked up at the big screen and discovered that Lin Siyao's eyes were indeed fierce, as if he was saying, "I'm very angry, don't mess with me."

"As expected of Queen Lin, she seems so happy chatting, but in real life she is so fierce."

Chu Yi leaned back on the chair and sighed, not knowing that it was he who caused such a huge contrast in Lin Siyao.

The pre-match episode ended, and as the referee read out the spirit of the game, the second semi-final officially began.

Because everyone knows that whoever wins this match will basically secure the championship, netizens almost all regard this match as the final. The popularity of the live broadcast room has exceeded 20 million before the contestants even go on stage.

The one sent out by Wolong Academy to lead the charge was their ace player, Ning Ye, who was ranked first on the Wolong list.

His pet is a level 23 Sword Blue Lotus, with the blood of an emperor, a very rare pet that has both plant and martial arts elements.

Although Jian Qinglian is a plant-type pet, it has an appearance very similar to that of humans. Of course, it also has lotus leaves and lotus flowers on its body, and its entire body is green.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as a little fairy transformed from a lotus.

Ning Ye’s opponent is also the ace of Beiming Primary School, Zhuang Yan, who is ranked second on the Wolong List. His pet is the Sea-Covering Whale, which is also of imperial bloodline and specializes in water.

It is well known that there is a divine pet named Kunpeng in the secret realm of Beiming. Kunpeng has two forms, one is a whale and the other is a big peng.

Therefore, Kunpeng's descendants can freely choose the direction of evolution from these two forms.

The parents of this sea-covering whale are the descendants of Kunpeng who chose to evolve into a big Kun.

Therefore, the Sea-covering Whale also possesses the talent of [Bloodline of Divine Beast].

Of course, Jian Qinglian's bloodline is no worse than Fu Haijing's, so this talent that can only bully weaklings has no effect on Jian Qinglian.

Jian Qinglian holds a emerald green sword in his hand, with sword energy running all around him.

The sea-covering whale was suspended in the air, and when it opened its mouth it spit out a mighty column of water like a floodgate being opened.

As soon as the two sides started fighting, the battle entered a white-hot stage, and the protective shield was triggered almost instantly, which shows how fierce the battle was.

Looking at the raging sword energy and water waves in the protective shield, the audience inside and outside the stadium cheered excitedly:

"Oh my god, is it so intense in the first game?"

"You're kidding! These are the top two on the Wolong list. This can be called the pinnacle showdown among the Chinese youth group!"

"They are at the peak, so what is Chu Yi?"

"Looking at the performance of these two people on the field, I feel that Chu Yi is still a little bit behind."

"I feel, I think, is it that I, the Monkey King, can no longer swing my stick, or that I can no longer punch with my fists?"

"Don't take the ranking as an imperial decree. No one has ever been able to match the performance of Monkey Brother's earth-shattering stick strike."

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll know after the finals."

........................

There were endless arguments outside the field and fierce fighting inside the field.

Fortunately, the organizers had already guessed that the intensity of this battle would be great, so they chose a venue that was larger than the previous ones.

But even so, the skills of Jian Qinglian and Fu Haijing still affected every corner of the arena.

The two pets were originally very close in strength, and the owners of both sides were determined to win this game, so they were almost putting all their efforts into fighting each other.

This peak confrontation lasted for a full twenty minutes. After each side's energy was almost exhausted, both sides used their own unique skills at the same time.

Jian Qinglian's unique move is the [Qinglian Sword Song] which transforms sword energy into a sky full of sharp blades.

As soon as this move was performed, the audience saw the ring was enveloped by countless dazzling criss-crossing sword lights, and the ring was instantly cut into a hollow circle.

But in the next second, a blue whale at least thirty meters long appeared out of nowhere. This was the famous skill of the Sea-Covering Whale [Water Strike Three Thousand]!
It is said that when Da Kun, the evolved form of the Sea-Covering Whale, uses this move, it can cause a tsunami three thousand feet high in the North Sea!

Although the strength of the Sea-Covering Whale in front of him is far inferior to that of his father, he also used this move to let the world witness the greatness of the bloodline of the divine beast!

Accompanied by a huge whale roar and buzzing sound, this whale composed entirely of water elements tore apart the sword energy field set up by Jian Qinglian, and then slammed towards Jian Qinglian like a whale covering the sea.

At this critical moment, Jian Qinglian actually opened his mouth wide and swallowed the sword in his hand directly into his stomach.

Then, a pink lotus with a diameter of ten meters suddenly bloomed in front of it. "【Sword and Beast Combined into One·Clean Lotus Sword】!"

The host almost shouted out the moves used by Jian Qinglian in a roaring voice.

The host's voice was still echoing in the stadium when an extremely huge and sharp sword shot out from the center of the lotus, directly stabbing the water element whale into pieces, and finally rushed towards the sea-covering whale in the sky with its remaining power.

Just as the attack was about to pierce the Sea Whale, the protective shield behind it suddenly stretched out countless large hands and wrapped the Sea Whale inside.

With a dull "bang", the Zhuoshi Sword sank deeply into the protective shield, but in the end it failed to hurt the Fu Hai Whale at all.

And because the protective shield was flexible enough, Jian Qinglian, who was in the sword-beast integration state, did not suffer any damage.

"The Sea-covering Whale has triggered its protective shield. I declare that the winner of this round is Jian Qinglian!"

The referee announced the result of the match, but no one cheered at first.

Because everyone had just recovered from the almost suffocating tension.

This battle was so shocking and exciting that no one knew who would win until the last moment.

Everyone knows that Jian Qinglian's special move is [Qinglian Sword Song]. When it is used, everyone thinks it is going to win.

Who knew that the Sea-covering Whale would use a move called [Water Strike Three Thousand] right away, and the condensed water element whale was so huge that it easily cracked the Green Lotus Sword Song.

The result was a reversal. Jian Qinglian used a skill in desperation that was beyond the reach of its level, namely the unity of sword and beast.

Kendo, as a branch of martial arts, has three realms in total.

The lowest level is the sword energy realm, which means cultivating sword energy and being able to hurt people from a distance.

However, even this lowest level requires at least ten years of hard training to achieve.

The second realm is the unity of sword and beast, which not only requires long-term hard training, but also requires extremely high comprehension. Otherwise, even if you practice for thirty years, you may not be able to achieve anything.

As for the third realm - everything is a sword, that is not something that can be determined by understanding and hard work. It requires unparalleled absolute talent to achieve it, and it may take even a hundred years for someone to emerge.

It is obvious that Jian Qinglian's comprehension talent is so high that he has mastered the unity of sword and beast at only level 23.

With such amazing talent, it is not impossible for him to break through to the realm where everything is a sword one day!

When the dust settled, the whole venue finally erupted in cheers, and the comments quickly spread:
"Ning Ye is awesome!!!"

"This is the value of being number one on the Crouching Dragon Ranking!"

"As expected, it is a sword-fighting pet beast that is even better than the Ape Sword Immortal. It is indeed strong."

"I wonder how it compares to the White Emperor from three years ago?"

"Then the White Emperor is still more powerful. Do you think the title of the White Emperor Sword is just exaggerated?"

"I feel like it's not as good as Mantanghua. Do I need to say more about how amazing the performance of Frost Fourteen Continents is?"

"Don't even mention these pets that only exist in legends. If we really go back to the past, which of the Crimson Sky Snake, Tai'a Beast, and Xuanyuan Dragon isn't an incredibly powerful swordsmanship pet?"

"England's Excalibur is also very strong..."

"Foreigners should not come in to discuss this. They are not of the same system. This is even more outrageous than Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong."

"Is there anyone who is still using Chu Yi to smear Ning Ye?"

"You are indeed a fool. It's such an exciting match and everyone is having so much fun watching it, but you have to jump out like a conspicuous bag to provoke a fight. Calling you an idiot is an insult to the word idiot. Shut your asshole right now!"

"Such a strong offensive, such a beautiful Chinese language."

"It's so scolding!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

..............................

It can be seen that this battle really made everyone excited, so much so that this kind of barrage that deliberately stirred up the rhythm and provoked a fight was besieged by fans of both sides.

As for Chu Yi himself, he was clapping and cheering like all the other audience members.

I can only say that it is worthy of being the peak battle between the first and second place on the list. It is intense and exciting enough.

Moreover, whether it was Jian Qinglian or Fu Haijing, he didn't dare to say that he was 100% sure of winning.

Of course, what made Chu Yi happiest was the achievement unlocking prompt that popped up from the system.

"The host watched the battle between two pets of the Emperor's bloodline, and a special achievement was triggered!
Get the [Peak Showdown] achievement to unlock opportunities!
Achievement unlocking condition: Watch ten battles between pets of the Emperor's bloodline. (Current progress 20%)

Achievement unlock reward: 1 golden skill book of your choice! "

When Chu Yi heard this reminder, his heart skipped a beat and he almost jumped up in excitement.

He knew that there would definitely be drops if he watched the peak match.

Because before, just by watching Ji Chen's Little Green Dragon bully noobs, he got the achievement. This time, both sides in the battle are pets of the Emperor's bloodline that are no worse than the Little Green Dragon, so it is highly likely that the achievement will appear.

But he didn't expect the reward to be so great.

A golden skill book of your own choice, I wonder how many people will rush to grab it if it's put on the market!
Although Chu Yi found out after careful reading that this self-selected skill book can only let him choose the attributes he wants, instead of randomly selecting from the vast sea of ​​skills.

But this is already very good. You know, no matter whether it is [Water Strike Three Thousand], [Blue Lotus Sword Song] or [Clean World Lotus Sword], these are all golden skills.

Jian Qinglian had one more golden skill than Fu Haijing, so he won in the end.

If Monkey King could have one more martial arts skill, it would definitely make it easier for him to win and save more energy.

And even though they are both gold, there are still differences between them.

If it is a top-notch golden skill, such as [Unyielding Will] and [Last Moment of Light], which greatly enhance endurance, it will no longer be a dream for Monkey King to defeat seven opponents alone in the final!
But now there is a problem, that is, whether we can make up the remaining four games.

There are a total of fourteen contestants from Wolong Academy and Beiming Primary School, and only eight of them have pets with imperial bloodline.

If the duels were played in turns, that would certainly be enough.

But what if the pet sent by Beiming Primary School in the next game is of Overlord bloodline, and after defeating Ning Ye, Wolong Academy sends out another pet of Overlord bloodline, then they are basically doomed.

So Chu Yi was very nervous now, so nervous that he stood up directly from his seat, praying that Beiming Primary School could give him a head-on confrontation.

"Beiming Primary School sent out its second contestant, Su Zixuan, who is ranked fifth on the Wolong Ranking!"

"Good!" Chu Yi cheered, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.
