The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 472 - 425: First Battle, Instant Kill

They number in the billions, and although there’s a live broadcast delay of several to dozens of seconds, their enthusiasm is hardly any less than the audience in the venue.

Under the attention of the vast majority of people in Fenghai Province,

the state competition is about to officially begin in one hour.

...

After the familiar sensation of teleportation and crossing,

Lin Guang stood firmly on this desert land.

——It was the Floating Island previously seen from afar, filled with yellow sand and sandstorms.

Upon reaching here in person, the sense of dryness was exceptionally apparent.

Surrounding him was rolling yellow sand and swirling dust; the Water Attribute Ether in the air was scarce and stagnant, while the Earth, Fire, and Wind Attributes were most abundant and active.

Standing tens of meters away was their opponent, the captain of the Huichao City Third Middle School team. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

[Xiang Yi].

A tall boy with a resolute face, standing at least 1.85 meters tall.

His expression wasn’t too good.

Because, deep down he knew without a doubt that encountering such a lineup from the Experimental School meant they were fated to be eliminated in the first round of the state competition.

But soon, he regained his fighting spirit. As representatives of their city, they were undoubtedly true geniuses with their own pride, staring at Lin Guang full of battle intent.

Xiang Yi’s voice, accompanied by Spiritual Power, traveled over from afar: "Lin Guang, you’ve chosen to lead the charge as well."

Lin Guang looked at him, nodded slightly, and then glanced at the empty space as if making eye contact with certain individuals.

Meanwhile, in the resting room, Leng Shengnan and Du Qing were watching the interior of this Floating Island with great interest, linking their Spiritual Artifacts to the screen with Spiritual Power.

——In fact, Lin Guang had already discussed with the two in Zhen Sheng City, open-heartedly expressing his need for battles to enhance his abilities, so unless he actively requested, he would always lead the charge in every battle.

He said in a deep voice, "I’ve heard of you; it’s said you seized the Six-Star Peak inheritance under numerous prodigies of sect families."

"Let me see what kind of strength this so-called civilian genius possesses!"

Lin Guang was slightly stunned.

——Six-Star Peak?

——Looks like the confidentiality work of Great Xia and the various powers was done quite well.

At this moment, a calm yet commanding elder voice resounded simultaneously in the minds of both teams.

"Fenghai Province High School Spirit Master League, the first round of eliminations, Zhen Sheng City Experimental Middle School against Huichao City Third Middle School."

"The referee for this match, Spirit Master Association of Li Hai City, Xuan Jing."

People followed the sense and saw, hovering a hundred meters above the desert arena, a figure appearing at an unknown time.

An elder in a simple gray-blue Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, a clear-cut face, sat cross-legged in the void, with no Ethereal Fluctuations around him, as if integrated with this Secret Realm space.

It’s said that True Man Xuan Jing was one of the elders of the Li Hai City Spirit Master Association, once a Seven-Star Spirit Master who, after being severely injured on the Outer Battlefield, fell to Six-Star Peak and thereafter stationed in Great Xia, handling various matters of the Spirit Master Association, renowned for fairness and justice in Fenghai Province.

He did not descend in person but manifested here with powerful Spiritual Power projection, capable of presiding over battles, confirming information, and providing protection.

Xuan Jing’s voice continued to echo in everyone’s mind, starting to announce the rules:

"This league adopts a knockout tournament format; once any person is judged to have lost, the next player takes the stage until all three players from one side are judged to have lost, and the other side wins."

"There are three judgments for loss: first, the Spirit Master suffers damage deemed fatal; second, all Spirit Beasts of the Spirit Master lose their combat ability; third, any form of voluntary substitution or surrender, where you must raise your hand and shout ’I surrender’ during surrender."

"The competition follows the ’Unrestricted Combat General Rules·Category Two’, which allows direct attacks on the Spirit Master’s body."

"The use of any external interference in the match is prohibited; only the officially designed Tier Three Running Shoes may be worn."

"Passive combat is prohibited, with violators warned or even judged as losing."

"The entire match will be covered by my Spiritual Power; if an attack touches the Spirit Master’s body and reaches lethal standards, the protection mechanism will trigger, forcing the attack to stop and declaring the attacked party’s failure."

With the rules announced, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire desert field.

——Everyone was already familiar with these rules upon coming here.

However, saying it aloud in this solemn arena is a different matter.

"Both sides are ready, allowed to summon Spirit Beasts, battle starts in thirty seconds."

"..."

Listening to the countdown in his mind, Lin Guang unhurriedly took a small lip balm from his pocket, uncapped it, and applied the refreshing mint-scented balm to his lips.

After calmly completing this little ritual, Lin Guang carefully put it away.

On the other side, the resolute-faced youth was already eager. The Spirit Pattern on his right hand lit up.

"Come forth, my companions!"

As a flow of soft purple energy surged, three Spirit Beasts appeared beside him, faintly forming a triangular formation, protecting the Spirit Master himself in the middle.

In the center was a Tier Three [Prismatic Floating Crystal Array], a rare crystal-type Spirit Beast, possessing Purple Legendary Level Potential. Its body consisted of several transparent white crystals connected by soft purple currents, emitting intense energy fluctuations, clearly the tactical core.

And on either side behind it, an auxiliary Spirit Beast hovered.
