Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 957 - 400: The End of the First Round! The Mysterious Ye Zhou!

Apart from that...

Su Ping thought for a moment once more, sitting beside the referee Li Ran, who was equally at leisure in the battle arena, and continued to watch Ye Zhou’s match.

Ye Zhou didn’t battle much.

As the top student of Magic Capital Academy, Magic Capital and Imperial Capital Academy, being the North Star of the Eight Great Academies, having the potential to be the champion, naturally not many are willing to contend against him here.

However, Ye Zhou has fought in four matches.

These four matches he fought can be described with two words: strange!

From beginning to end, he only used one Pet Beast in combat!

Yes, just like Su Ping, the real battle involved solely an Annual Ring Tiger.

As for the Speech Ice Cicada and the most mysterious time-based Instrument Type Pet Beast, Time Hourglass, the former still perched on Ye Zhou’s shoulder, while the latter hasn’t appeared at all.

This truly made Su Ping somewhat suspicious.

However, just that Annual Ring Tiger was extremely terrifying.

Time-Series Pet Beasts are the most mysterious and rare, but their combat effectiveness is often criticized.

But that Annual Ring Tiger didn’t showcase anything special, only engaging in fighting with its physical body exceedingly simply.

And its opponent seemed to be dragged into a domain by it and then defeated using its vast experience.

While pondering, a familiar voice rang beside him:

"Su Ping, we really are like-minded, I rushed here immediately after finishing my match just to find you watching my videos!"

Su Ping turned his head, and indeed, Ye Zhou’s ordinary-looking face appeared in front of him.

However, what startled Su Ping even more was that throughout the ten continuous matches, he hadn’t seen the most mysterious Time Hourglass,

at this moment, was held by Ye Zhou in his hand,

in the silver hourglass, what seemed to be contained wasn’t sand, but grains of diamonds.

Clear and transparent, radiant like stellar sand.

Su Ping reminisced that back then, the Feather of Darkflame Ancient Raven was something even he couldn’t identify, yet just a slight reflection from the Time Hourglass revealed the origins of that Darkflame Ancient Raven.

Others speculate that Ye Zhou’s most powerful Pet Beast is that Speech Ice Cicada that controls the whole field.

But to Su Ping, this mysterious Instrument Type Time-Series Pet Beast is what he truly dreads.

"Why are you here?"

"To see you, just like how I personally visited Linzhou after the Provincial Exam was over. It’s a pity you haven’t performed much!"

Ye Zhou seemed a bit regretful, Su Ping skeptically glanced at him.

"You’ve been to Linzhou? After the Provincial Exam? When?"

Ye Zhou grinned broadly, nodding: "Right after your speech, wasn’t it because I wanted to check on you."

The doubt in Su Ping’s eyes deepened; he always felt this guy was up to no good.

"Su Ping! Let’s go!"

Qin Xiaoxue’s voice came from below the arena.

With ten matches concluded, now, among the over two hundred contestants, only forty-eight remained having completed seven victories.

After continuous battles, the sky was gradually darkening.

The second round of knockout matches will not be held until early tomorrow morning.

This allowed contestants to fully recover to truly face their strong opponents.

Su Ping didn’t bother with Ye Zhou who came, and upon realizing he had no intention of leaving, simply turned and walked away.

Ye Zhou sighed, then a flash of light appeared in his eyes:

"Su Ping, these two Pet Beasts of yours indeed put quite some pressure on me. I really wonder, how did you cultivate them?"

Then, among the countless star-like grains within the Time Hourglass, in the reflection of the multifaceted tiny crystals, appeared the silhouette of Qian Yi before.

Just like back in the Provincial Exam Secret Realm.
