Seeing Bai Qi’s appearance, Chun Yushui shrugged nonchalantly.
That kid Luo Xiang was the same when he first came to the association, and now…
Ah, to be young.
Chun Yushui took a couple of swigs of wine and said, “Oh, by the way, I heard about a guy named Bai Qi who came up with a rune evolution. Is that you?”
Bai Qi nodded. His name had spread throughout the Federation due to the new evolution system involving the Undead Department. He was accustomed to it.
“Young people do have great ideas. We older guys have been scrutinizing runes for so many years, but none of us have created anything like this.”
Chun Yushui gave Bai Qi an appreciative look before saying, “It’s a pity this evolution method can’t be applied to other departments, or else there would definitely be a page for you in future history books.”
Bai Qi scratched his head, “Uh, I’m still young. I don’t plan on making history books for now.”
“Pfft…hahaha, you’re an interesting kid. I’m liking you more and more.”
At Bai Qi’s words, Chun Yushui couldn’t help but spit out his wine, then burst into laughter, attracting the attention of many people.
“But your level is still too low. You’d better not spend too much time on these matters. Leveling up is the priority.”
Bai Qi nodded. Without a high enough level, even if he deciphered the secret entrance, he wouldn’t be able to properly explore. If they hadn’t had the slave contract to suppress the saber-toothed tiger they encountered during the day, they would have all been dead meat.
“Uncle Chun, what are you laughing at?”
Hearing Chun Yushui’s laughter, a young man quickly ran over. Seeing Bai Qi sitting next to him, he immediately said, “You must be Bai Qi, right? Hello, I’m Feng Ye, also known as the self-proclaimed ‘Emperor of Luck.’”
Uh, your emphasis makes it hard not to be suspicious…
Bai Qi resisted the urge to ask further and politely extended his hand, saying, “Hello, I’m Bai Qi.”
“Feng Ye, you came just in time. You two are at the same rank. How about a duel?”
Chun Yushui grabbed a person with one hand, looked at the bonfire pile, and said, “We’ve been digging in the dirt all day. Everyone is getting sick of it. How about letting two young people fight to liven things up?”
“Sure!”
“Feng Ye, here’s your chance to bully a newbie. Seize it!”
“Haha, is Little Ye finally changing his luck, no longer being bullied by you bunch of shameless old men?”
“Tsk, you’re the one always swindling Feng Ye. Each month he doesn’t even have his allowance for a day before you’ve conned him out of it. Look at the poor kid, he’s starving.”
“Isn’t it you who runs the gambling?”
Listening to the chaos around them, Feng Ye seemed somewhat interested, while Chun Yushui didn’t wait for Bai Qi’s answer and pushed the two of them out.
“Boys, set up the arena, I’m running the bets!”
Roar, roar, roar!!!
A group of bystanders quickly moved the bonfire away, clearing a large space, while also setting up runes around it. A simple isolated fighting ring was thus set up.
Watching the bustling association members placing their bets, Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly.
He suddenly felt that Zhou Yan might be more suited for this place.
Oh, Zhou Yan doesn’t know runes, he can’t come.
Watching Feng Ye, who had silently walked to the other side, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
Although he would rather go back and study the Rune Rubik’s Cube, having been pushed this far, it wasn’t good to back down now.
“Uncle Chun, I want to place a bet too, betting on myself to win!”
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He saw the crowd largely betting on Feng Ye. How could he not seize this opportunity to fleece them?
“Not bad, not bad. You’re adapting very quickly.”
Chun Yushui nodded satisfied. He then looked at the two and said seriously, “Please take your positions, Beast Masters, and summon your beasts.”
Returning back to his position, Bai Qi directly summoned Alpha.
“Wow, what a handsome beast!!!”
As soon as Alpha appeared, it captured the eyeballs of several female Beast Masters and even some of the young male Beast Masters were somewhat stunned.
“Youth. The strength of a beast is not about appearance, what’s solid is what’s true. Little Ye, show them your beast.”
Feng Ye nodded and summoned his beast, a large Earth Elemental.
[Name]: Earth Elemental
[Nature]: Elemental System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Level]: Three-stage nine-level
[Introduction]: A creature living in the Elemental World, equipped with powerful defense capabilities and physical attack power. Though mild-tempered, it usually avoids provocation.
“Look, this is the type of beast a man should contract—dignified, domineering, not flashy.”
The Beast Masters around them were clearly very bullish on Feng Ye. After all, they had watched him grow bit by bit. Although he was only at the third stage, his strength was undeniable.
If only his luck were a bit better…
Upon seeing that both had summoned their beasts, Chun Yushui asked once more for confirmation, “Are you both ready? If so, let the competition begin!”
Right as he finished speaking, Feng Ye’s Earth Elemental sprung into action, launching the first attack. Its seemingly bulky body astonishingly levitated, flying directly toward Alpha.
“This is gravity control, huh? Well, who said that an Earth Elemental has to move on the ground?”
Bai Qi immediately recognized the Earth Elemental’s method of advance and, showing no surprise, watched as Alpha typically summoned an Ice Crystal Barrier test.
However, it was apparent that the Ice Crystal Barrier could not stop the Earth Elemental, shattering at the slightest touch.
The Ice Crystal Barrier is quite effective against some Energy Series attacks, but when facing an Earth Elemental, a creature with a strong physical output, it falls short.
Even so, Alpha was used to an Ice Crystal Barrier shattering upon impact and did not mind it at all. The monster opened its mouth and exhaled a Breath of Withering, which intertwined with the shards of ice and swept towards the Earth Elemental.
“Earth Elemental, defend!”
Feng Ye instinctively sensed something wrong and promptly warned the Earth Elemental. The Earth Elemental shivered, shedding numerous small stones that suspended around it, blocking the attack of the ice shards.
At the moment that the ice shards and stones collided, the Beast Masters in the audience gasped in surprise.
“Is this corrosion? No, it feels more like weathering.”
“How is this possible? The weathering of ordinary stones takes at least several decades. How did it weather so quickly?”
In the surprised eyes of the crowd, the stones summoned by the Earth Elemental instantly rotted under the Withering Power, exposing the Earth Elemental entirely to the Withering Ice Dust.
“Earth Elemental, Gravity Aura!”
The Earth Elemental swayed. A dull yellow aura spread out instantly, and the Withering Ice Dust that had been swiftly advancing toward the Earth Elemental was yanked toward the ground by the sharply increased gravity.
But before Feng Ye could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Withering Ice Dust somehow rose back into the sky and flew toward the Earth Elemental once more.
“Impossible! How can you adjust to the change in gravity so quickly?”
Feng Ye was astonished. However, the moment he saw the Gravity Sword with a flickering light similar to the Gravity Aura behind Alpha, he understood.
“I see, so a creature from the Undead Department can also control gravity. I was careless.”
“But, can you stop this?”
When he finished speaking, the Earth Elemental gave a heavy thud on the ground. The originally flat ground detonated, turning into countless rocks flying toward Alpha.
Upon seeing this, Alpha was not concerned and used the Withering Ice Dust in front of it to block the attack. The rocks couldn’t even penetrate the circle of Ice Dust before they were corroded cleanly.
However, the crisis for the Earth Elemental was temporarily resolved.
Feng Ye put on a serious face and said, “Well then, let’s have you witness this king’s ultimate move!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth Elemental lifted its arm. The numerous small stones, leftovers from digging the hole, were attracted by it. They gathered and formed a giant stone fist that flew directly toward Alpha. “Take my million-ton fist punch!”
Upon hearing Feng Ye’s roar, Bai Qi’s expression turned solemn. The bones surrounding Alpha immediately began to twist and transform, quickly entering a state of Giant Strength. With its hands tightly gripping the Withering Great Sword, it went to meet the rock giant fist flying through the air.
With such a large volume combined with a million tons of strength, this punch was daunting!
Boom!
Finally, fist met sword with a thunderous noise, yet expressions on both Bai Qi and Alpha’s faces changed.
Not because it was too heavy, but because it was too light.
Creak, creak.
(Boss, I feel like I’ve been swindled…)
Looking at the stone fist in front of it that was as light as a balloon, Alpha instantly shattered it with a stroke of its sword—in its entire existence, this was the first time it showed dissatisfaction to Bai Qi.
“Hmm, perhaps this ability needs to charge up?”
Bai Qi tilted his head, coming up with a possible explanation, although he himself was somewhat skeptical.
Meanwhile, seeing the Earth Elemental, that hadn’t really achieved any effect with its hit, made Feng Ye a little embarrassed. The surrounding Beast Masters started to heckle him.
“Little Ye, looks like you’re out of luck today. A million-ton fist punch? It doesn’t even look like it has a hundred pounds of force.”
“Hey, who can blame Little Ye for being unlucky! He learned such a gamble-like ability. You can’t fault him for being unlucky.”
“Pfft, haha…”
Listening to the discussions surrounding him, Bai Qi finally understood.
So, he had misunderstood the meaning of ‘Million-ton Fist Punch’ all along. It wasn’t a million-ton fist punch but a Million Potluck Fist Punch?
The force of the punch was random?
Just at that moment, Bai Qi suddenly realized why Feng Ye would emphasize that he was a king—it was like a last-ditch effort of a tribal chief.
At this thought, Bai Qi’s look at Feng Ye filled with a bit more sympathy and compassion. However, Feng Ye found it hard to accept this.
“What’s wrong with being unlucky? If one punch fails, then I’ll throw a hundred!”
Feng Ye snorted coldly. Looking at the Earth Elemental, it quickly understood. It absorbed all the fragments around it into its body and increased its massive size once more, resembling a giant.
But the most remarkable was the nearly hundred fists of different sizes surrounding the Earth Elemental.
“Let’s try this again: a Million-ton Fist Punch—Hundred Fists Style!”
