Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1228 - 505: Five Elements vs Yin Yang! Battle of the Strongest Monarchs!

The Strongest Monarch Level!

Whenever such a title was mentioned in any era, it represented an unimaginable level of prestige.

However, in the history of Blue Star, there were rarely any definitive conclusions regarding the strongest beings at each level. But throughout the Dragon Nation’s long history of beastmasters, there were indeed discussions and claims regarding the strongest pet beasts in every minor realm. Especially in modern times, with the high development of independent media, various ranking lists and historical pet beasts dug up through different channels frequently appeared in the public eye.

In these rankings, apart from some pet beasts from Ancient Times whose significance was ambiguous, there were indeed many "fans" engaging in all sorts of cross-era hypothetical match-ups across various fields. Most of the time, no one could convince anyone else. However, there were a few universally acknowledged exceptions.

For instance, the pet beast recognized as the strongest Emperor Level was a historical existence that Su Ping was relatively familiar with. At the founding of the Wu Dynasty, a figure from the Xie Family left a resounding name in the breeders’ Hall of Fame: Xie Jiuyin’s Thousand-Year Tree Demon.

Possessing the skill Transferring Flowers and Trees—a Super-Rank Skill considered heaven-defying even at the Hall of Fame level—that Thousand-Year Tree Demon’s combat power was completely unmatched across all records in the long river of time.

Meanwhile, starting from this summer, a definitive conclusion had also been reached regarding the strongest Commander Level pet beast. That’s right, it was none other than the little paperman right in front of him: Qian Yi!

It could slay Monarch Level opponents as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs, ignoring numbers and possessing infinite energy. Aside from physical stamina—or Soul Power, which had a relatively minor impact when measuring overall combat strength—it had absolutely no weaknesses! Furthermore, after Qian Yi advanced to the Monarch Level, even though it was currently only at the Monarch Fifth Rank due to its race limit, it was already a prime candidate for the strongest Monarch Level pet beast. Securing a spot among the best was absolutely not a problem.

However, the Little Crow’s truly world-shocking evolution this time had somewhat disrupted that certainty. Su Ping also wanted to see what would happen now. After easily handling Emperor Level opponents in its previous two battles, how would the Little Crow fare against Qian Yi?

Moreover, the combat styles of these two little guys were entirely different, as were their skills and abilities. Qian Yi’s combat skills didn’t rely on many complex mechanics. Instead, it depended on pure, unadulterated raw stats. On the other hand, the Little Crow Yaya’s raw stats were quite average, but the powerful mechanics behind its skills were enough to suppress opponents whose raw stats far exceeded its own.

A battle between the two of them indeed filled him with great anticipation. As it turned out, Su Ping wasn’t the only one looking forward to it.

A battle between these two couldn’t take place in the arena at the Heart of Cloud, nor could it happen within the Forest Heart—unless Su Ping wanted those two places to be completely bombed into oblivion. Therefore, when Su Ping started asking around to select a battlefield, many of the pet beasts across the Heart of Myriad Spirits caught wind of the news. In fact, it wasn’t just the pet beasts gathering to watch; even Meng Yao and Yin Luo, who had just returned, as well as the Mad Saint who had been holing up in the Heart of Machinery, were energized by the prospect.

During these past two days, as September rolled in, it was only a few days before the formal opening of Jianghai Advanced High School.

Many wealthy beastmaster students who came out of admiration had gathered at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. Even the exorbitantly priced, various-tiered small villas and "presidential suites" located around the Heart of Cloud were fully booked. Fortunately, everyone who could afford to come here knew the situation. Although it was bustling, there was no unruly behavior.

As the core of the Heart of Myriad Spirits, which boasted the greatest variety and number of pet beasts—where, if one was lucky, they could even catch a distant glimpse of pet beasts thought to be extinct in history—it attracted a massive crowd. Thus, the unusual activity over by the Forest Heart caught the attention of many guests.

Unfortunately for them, trying to cross the Forest Heart to get a close look at the area surrounded by massive groups of plant-based pet beasts was extremely difficult. At best, they could only stand on the high vantage points of the Forest Heart or the Heart of Phoenix, looking down at the distant situation.

Indeed, the final venue was quickly decided upon.

It was a large open space to the south of the Forest Heart. Not far away, there were still traces left behind by excavating pet beasts. This was the site designated for the current expansion of the Forest Heart, though construction had only just begun. Conveniently, a battle of this caliber might even help speed up the construction progress.

Before it all started, however, Su Ping himself hadn’t expected that a mere sparring match would cause such a huge commotion in just an hour and a half from the time he found Qian Yi to selecting the venue. Thinking of this, a sudden idea flashed through Su Ping’s mind.

He looked at Guan Qianshan, who had arrived looking quite worried, and asked,

"Uncle Guan, did Feifei and the online department of the Heart of Myriad Spirits recently launch an official website together?"

Guan Qianshan nodded, not quite understanding what Su Ping meant, but quickly replied:

"I sent you a document regarding this matter a while ago. Currently, some of the unique resources produced by the Heart of Myriad Spirits are highly competitive on the market. That’s especially true for the Jade Sap Dew from the Jade Branch Tree. It isn’t really appropriate to hand these things over to Director Dong.

"So, we’ve set them up for fixed-price sales on our online platform. Among the precious resources, rare and extinct items like the Jade Sap Dew and the Illusion Dream Lotus Seed are sold through regular auctions."
