Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 952 - 399: Poison Carried by Flame! The Path to Legend!

Surrender.

Su Ping quickly retreated, commanding Xiao Qing to split into its External Incarnation and Shadow Split while the figure of Qian Yi, operating the Five Elements Cycle, suddenly froze.

For a moment, he didn’t quite react.

In fact, not only did he fail to react.

Obviously, most of the people present hadn’t reacted either.

Before, this little chubby guy appeared to be full of confidence, calm and composed, showing no signs of panic, making everyone think he might be a hidden expert.

But that’s it?

Coming up, he just surrendered directly?

And so decisively and neatly?

He didn’t even summon a Pet Beast.

No wonder he was so fearless?

No wonder he was so calm and collected?

Turns out he had already decided to surrender directly in the first round.

Undoubtedly, the audience watching Su Ping’s battle let out a series of boos and curses.

"Turtle Grandson! This guy is here for tourism in Minyue, he’s definitely not one of our Minyue’s young genius Beastmasters!"

"His act was so convincing, it really fooled us."

"This guy has no backbone?"

However, while some cursed him, others agreed:

"What’s the use of backbone? Moreover, even if you have backbone, it’s not to be used here! This is wisdom in combat!"

"Exactly, you can look at the other battle arenas, encountering such opponents, conserving strength is definitely the wise move!"

Indeed, this was the case.

The rule of this final trial, the first round of ten battles, was extremely challenging!

You need to win eight times in a row to qualify for the next round.

Therefore, conserving one’s strength to effectively handle upcoming battles, maximizing the chance of winning more than eight times, is the most crucial thing!

Surrendering is absolutely not a shameful thing; rather, it’s a genuinely wise move.

And indeed, this proved to be true.

After Zhou Yuan, the little chubby guy, stepped down, barely three minutes later, a figure walked onto the stage with a face full of grief and indignation.

After stepping onto the stage, this contestant from Fengtian Province looked up at the referee Li Ran beside him:

"Referee sir, what exactly is this random rule? Why did I encounter Situ Yan from the Imperial Capital Academy in the first round, and directly face Su Shen in the second round? Is there justice in this?"

Li Ran glanced at him:

"Randomness is conducted in a pseudo-random manner, ensuring that opponents you face are not vastly different in provincial exam ranks, while also ensuring top-ranked opponents don’t meet too early.

Situ Yan’s provincial exam rank at the Imperial Capital Academy is fourth; you’re sixth in Fengtian, so there’s not much difference. As for this instance, it’s just bad luck..."

Situ Yan, apart from the Azure Dragon that Chen Zhan possesses, owns another Dragon Pet at the Imperial Capital Academy, although compared to Chen Zhan’s Azure Dragon, Situ Yan’s isn’t a true pureblood Dragon Clan, it belongs to the Earth Dragon type.

But after reaching a certain Realm, it can also become an Emperor Level Peak or even a Spirit Saint Level Giant Dragon Clan.

Li Ran showed no emotion; this final trial is indeed a grand battle akin to nurturing a champion! Strong participants naturally have their privileges.

Even among the top ten from each province, there are absolute disparities.

Removing these filler participants directly; if a dark horse emerges, that’s great. If not, it’s fine too.

"Alright, Su Ping, as the winner of the previous round, you can choose this battle’s arena terrain."

Su Ping smiled slightly, though he felt sorry for his opponent across the stage, but he understood the principle of a lion pouncing on a rabbit.

He directly spoke: "Choose the terrain as Ancient Jungle."

His home ground, with Xiao Qing in it, is always the jungle.

Moreover, the jungle offers concealment, allowing Qian Yi to smoothly endure the time of the Five Elements Cycle and enter a full-strength state.

And indeed, this contestant from Fengtian Province named Fang Xu,

though full of grief, even realizing that encountering Su Ping in the second round would’ve been better than facing Situ Yan in the first round.

In the end, now if he concedes again, he only has one chance left for error!

No one wants to avoid entering the second round.

So...

"Countdown 3, 2, 1, begin the match!"

The entire virtual arena is now a jungle.

Forest trees tens of meters high, blocking out the sky and sun!

Nothing outside can be seen; Su Ping repeated his previous actions, swiftly retreating, with Xiao Qing’s External Incarnation surrounding him tightly.

Next to Su Ping, the divine light on Qian Yi flowed, the Five Elements energy waves flickering rapidly.

Almost every passing second, Qian Yi’s momentum grew stronger.

The jungle’s concealment made it impossible for Su Ping to see the opponent’s existence.

But undoubtedly, this time, the opponent did not surrender!

Su Ping’s lips curled up.

As the terrain he chose, how could he possibly be limited by it!

"Xiao Qing!"

"Aw-oo!"

Xiao Qing’s burning body turned, then flickered, and at that moment, all the jungle trees became its eyes!

Simultaneously, shadows carrying the Poison of the Green Demon spread rapidly in all directions from under its feet.

At this moment, the scenario on Stage 31 entered the main view of the three commentators and analysts, and as expected, Wang Shengtian hurriedly said:
