Chapter 418 - 217: Has Chen Yuan Already Secured the Championship Title? (Part 3)
In addition, Chen Yuan clearly remembered that while he was the first mid-tier Beastmaster in Baokun City, there were several Beastmasters in the vast Qin Province ranked ahead of him.
If their progress hasn’t slowed, they might already possess Tier Three Pet Beasts or be just a step away from Tier Three.
No matter the situation, it’s worth his attention.
In the upcoming matches, perhaps at the most crucial juncture for reaching the finals, all competitors are giving it their all, showcasing even better performances than in the previous rounds, with intensity far exceeding the previous round.
Li Qing’s two small snakes were unable to support her advancement, defeated by a strong competitor, regrettably losing and being eliminated.
Huo Hong battled with his opponent for a long time, and the Cyan Wind Hunting Dog ultimately fell, signaling the end of his Da Feng Cup journey.
However, Chen Yuan is very optimistic about Huo Hong’s future.
The first time he saw Huo Hong, he was being teased by a Wind Raider Mouse, yet over time, he progressed remarkably, almost advancing to the Da Feng Cup finals.
With such progress speed, his future is immeasurable.
However, Zhuang Jianbai, who had been winning effortlessly in previous matches, encountered a strong opponent specializing in fire attribute Pet Beasts, and together they delivered the most exciting match to date for the audience.
But facing attribute restraint, Zhuang Jianbai still fell into a disadvantage.
Lin Hongwei exclaimed in shock: "Could Lao Zhuang be eliminated?"
He found it hard to believe.
As the number one genius Beastmaster at Yunhua Beast Taming Academy, Zhuang Jianbai holds the hopes of countless spectators, but with only a step away from the finals, all competitors are unleashing their potential, or rather, their true power.
Simply put, when Chen Yuan deployed the Tier Three Flame Cloud Falcon, no one wanted to hide their trump cards anymore.
No matter how much they hide, they’re nowhere near as terrifying as this Flame Cloud Falcon.
Zhuang Jianbai’s Pet Beast attribute was completely countered, and his tactics were clearly targeted, making it hard for him to fully utilize his capabilities.
Jiang Yuntao stared intensely at Zhuang Jianbai on stage, his right hand gripping the armrest tightly, a voice rolling from his throat: "Can’t give up..."
Zhuang Jianbai wasn’t considering giving up, and neither was the Winter Dog.
Even with its beautiful, smooth snow-white fur now charred, even as it gasped heavily, its body swaying as if it would collapse any second, it still didn’t give up.
It wants to claim victory in this match for Zhuang Jianbai.
"Winter Dog, Cold Breath."
As Zhuang Jianbai’s voice echoed in his mind, the Winter Dog used its last ounce of strength to raise its head and roar, opening its mouth and instantly spewing out a strong cold breath.
In an instant, the entire venue was almost covered by the cold breath, with the fierce cold winds blowing violently.
Zhang Hao couldn’t help but widen his eyes: "Wasn’t the Winter Dog about to fall? Why does it feel even stronger than before?"
Chen Yuan leaned back in his chair, smiling slightly: "Because the Winter Dog broke through to Tier Three."
Breaking through during a match, Zhuang Jianbai is paved like the protagonist in a novel.
"Now, the Da Feng Cup finally has some excitement."
After breaking through to Tier Three, the Winter Dog’s condition recovered, roaring freely, overpowering the opposing Pet Beast with a crushing momentum.
"Howl!"
After a while, the Winter Dog stood on the stage with an arrogant stance, roaring.
"The Da Feng Cup’s second Tier Three Pet Beast!"
"Almost upset, luckily Zhuang Jianbai resisted the pressure."
"With this, the championship is now in suspense."
"What suspense are you talking about? Do you mean the Winter Dog defeating the Flame Cloud Falcon?"
No matter how netizens discuss, Zhuang Jianbai successfully advanced to the finals and openly expressed in a post-match interview his hope to meet Chen Yuan and face off against him.
Match after match continued, with many powerful Beastmasters emerging, among them quite a few from the private sector, not affiliated with Beast Taming Academies or official institutions, yet showing strong capabilities.
Among them, a private Beastmaster brought out the third Tier Three Pet Beast of the Da Feng Cup, shocking the audience upon its debut.
The outcome was evident; he nearly crushed his opponent.
Compared to the Winter Dog’s breakthrough during battle, his Pet Beast’s strength was significantly superior.
This Beastmaster named Xia Heng looked like a cultured young man but declared in a post-match interview: "I hope to encounter Advisor Chen in the upcoming matches and defeat him."
Actually, not just him; other finalists mentioned Chen Yuan’s name, hoping to engage with him, some wanting to compete, some outright stating they didn’t wish to meet him, and some, like Xia Heng, making bold claims to defeat him.
Chen Yuan is akin to a big villain, and other competitors must defeat him to claim the championship trophy.
In the evening, all eight finalists appeared.
Among them, two Association Consultants, no members from the Investigation Department, three Academy students, and three private Beastmasters.
The eight finalists have a total of three Tier Three Pet Beasts.
"Looking at it this way, the champion would likely emerge among these three competitors."
"Advisor Chen shows the most terrifying dominance, has the highest chance of winning the championship, followed by Xia Heng, and then Zhuang Jianbai."
"I’m curious, wasn’t Zhuang Jianbai hyped as the strongest contender before the match? Wasn’t he the hot favorite for the championship?"
"Only when the tide recedes can you see who’s swimming naked."
"That is why more competitions are necessary; Beastmasters tested through combat are more valuable than relying on marketing hype, constantly boasting who’s powerful, only to reveal their true form when confronting tough opponents."
