Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 718: Chapter 318: Show Their Magic! The Rioting Tide! _2

"What the hell is happening?"

Beast Tamers on platforms like No. 17, No. 19, and similarly No. 8 and No. 28, were all staring in horror at what was happening under the water. The immense swarm of fish, densely packed together like a floor beneath the water’s surface, was truly terrifying.

However, in the next moment, the sky above seemed to dim as if its light had converged; the sunlight instantly faded as though absorbed. Although it was only a very slight dimming, barely perceptible, it was enough to draw everyone’s gaze to the center of their vision.

At some point, on Platform No. 18, the Wanmu Wolf that had been lying next to Su Ping had the antler-like branches on its head turn snow white. The snow-white antlers seemed to be absorbing the sunlight from the sky without restraint.

When the Rainbow Coral was placed into the groove, Su Ping gave the order. An endless stream of light then began to pour into Old Sha’s body. Qian Yi and Old Sha, who had been waiting, finally made their move at this moment. Old Sha was the first to strike.

Undoubtedly, the power of the Heart of the Sun was now on full display before everyone’s eyes. It was as if a gigantic concave lens or magnifying glass had covered the sky. Then, all the sunlight was focused through this huge lens onto a single point. And that focal point was Old Sha! Having reached the Monarch Level, Old Sha was now unreservedly activating the Heart of the Sun.

Then, a point of dazzlingly bright white light condensed in Old Sha’s mouth. After that, the fish swarm floating on the surface of the sea became the first victims of the "Sun Tail Beast Cannon’s" debut!

If a Pet Beast of the same level could use large-scale offensive Skills to inflict wide-ranging damage, its position would naturally be much higher than that of its peers. This was precisely the case for Old Sha at this moment. After awakening the Heart of the Sun, Old Sha’s race limit had reached the Emperor Level! It had crossed an unimaginable threshold!

With the Heart of the Sun’s enhancement, Old Sha’s combat strength as a Pet Beast of an Imperial-Level Species was even more terrifying. It surpassed that of ordinary Pet Beasts of Imperial-Level Species. This single strike was proof!

The entire sea platform began to shake violently. Even the edges of Platform No. 18, the closest one, developed numerous cracks. Keep in mind that this platform was reinforced with special techniques for stability. Not even Monarch Peak Pet Beasts clashing could easily damage it. Yet just the aftershocks of this blast had caused such cracking, which spoke volumes to the sheer power unleashed by that single attack. Indeed, it was powerful.

With the might of just one shot, no Ferocious Beast fish swarm could be seen at the center of the "Sun Tail Beast Cannon’s" impact on the water’s surface. In fact, not even corpses were present. Other than the spreading stain of blood, there was even a brief, immense void on the water’s surface. This was the result of an intense, high-temperature blast causing instant vaporization of water! Beyond that, at the outskirts of the blast, countless fish had been reduced to dust. Only the most basic residue of blood and flesh remained, turning the surface of the water into something akin to a butcher’s block.

"Is this... the Heart of the Sun?"

The violent explosion wasn’t enough to snap the surrounding Beast Tamers, who had witnessed the scene, back to their senses. Someone murmured, seemingly filling the void of regret from when the presentation of the Heart of the Sun was abruptly cut off during the Cultivation contest. They had finally witnessed with their own eyes the might of this rarely seen Super-Rank Skill. Such power fulfilled all imaginations about Super-Rank Skills!

However, before everyone could react, a massive sea creature suddenly emerged from the water: it was a giant turtle over ten meters long. It swallowed the remains of its kin in one gulp. Its black body reflected light in the sun. On its moss-green shell, which looked like a small mountain, sharp edges were clearly defined. It had obviously not taken a direct hit from Old Sha’s "Sun Tail Beast Cannon." Hence, only the edges of its shell were broken, with blood dripping continuously. Its snake-like triangular eyes conveyed pain and a madness borne of rage.

"A Monarch Level Sea Tide Crocodile Turtle?" Su Ping’s eyebrows lifted slightly. This creature was known for its destructive power and defense capabilities. Most importantly, it was huge and immensely strong, like a mobile fortress.

However, Su Ping paid it no mind. He just patted Little Crow, which was clearly a bit overwhelmed and stiff, and then looked at the little Paperman that had been preparing: "Qian Yi! Take it down! Don’t use the Sword Box."

The Five Elements Paper Body forming the Five Elements Sword Box had too broad a striking range. Furthermore, it wasn’t Qian Yi’s true power. Using such an Ability would negate the purpose of the training.

"UWAA!"

Qian Yi’s "closed" two-dimensional eyes suddenly snapped open, glimmers of light seeming to flicker within them. His body was still clad in colorful paper clothes, but the sword in his hand had transformed into one Su Ping had never seen before. It was a cerulean sword! It seemed ethereal, not solid—none other than the Water Sword Qian Yi had apparently never used before!

Su Ping’s brow lifted. Has this little guy come to a new realization? Compared to Xiao Qing, Qian Yi’s most important trait was his boundless creativity in Swordsmanship. This was true of the previous Five Elements Sword Box, as well as the many Swordsmanship techniques he had created based on the sword body.

And the next moment, the little Paperman had already given Su Ping the answer.

With a sound like bubbling water, Qian Yi’s body turned into a streak of colorful light and rapidly disappeared from the sea platform. The colossal Sea Tide Crocodile Turtle, a fortress in the water, had slowly arrived before the platform. It paid no attention to the tiny Paperman. However, Qian Yi, in fact, paid it no mind either. Such a clumsy enemy was merely a live target placed before the little Paperman.

"UWAA! So you’ve finally come, my first opponent..."

"UWAA! Out of respect for your decent strength, I will use my newest Swordsmanship to give you a grand burial!"

"UWAA! Qian Yi... Super Vortex!"

Words that made Su Ping momentarily speechless emerged. Under the disdainful gaze of the crocodile turtle, Qian Yi’s figure instantly moved, the Water Sword in his hand rapidly spinning.

Next, like a whirlwind, a massive vortex began to form around the Sea Tide Crocodile Turtle. With the nearly limitless Energy output from the Five Elements Paper Body, such a vortex began to spawn not just around the Sea Tide Crocodile Turtle, but across the entire sea surface in the area.

Countless aquatic Pet Beasts bravely charged towards the sea platform. At this moment, they were almost incapable of maintaining their forms, sucked and stretched by this powerful whirlpool. And within that vortex, sharp Sword Qi acted like an all-destroying crusher!

The Sea Tide Crocodile Turtle, the first to be hit, acquired numerous fine wounds. However, as a Monarch Level creature, it endured the longest. It almost managed to break free from the vortex’s pull. But in the end, it too became part of the blood and shredded flesh at the center of the vortex.

The entire coast fell silent.

Even the Little Flame on Little Crow’s head was still somewhat confused. It watched as the first wave of attacking aquatic Ferocious Beasts was slaughtered by Su Ping’s three Pet Beasts with no resistance. At this moment, the newly self-aware Little Flame began to doubt itself: After having grown to this level by devouring its kind, does it possess the combat strength of these three creatures?

This question left Little Flame puzzled. It cast doubt upon itself, upon the fire Totem, and upon the Ten Thousand Bird Faith.

However, just then, a figure swiftly descended from the sky. It landed next to Su Ping, who was directing his three Pet Beasts in a cleaning operation, and slapped him on the back of the head: "You little rascal, when did you get here?"

Turning his head, Su Ping saw that it was none other than Qin Erlong—who else could it be?
