Chapter 956 - 400: The End of the First Round! The Mysterious Ye Zhou! (Part 2)
It was actually the most inconspicuous one, Dong Muxuan.
Back at Magic Capital Academy, Dong Muxuan’s ranking in the Trial Tower wasn’t particularly high.
But during the Provincial Exam, he could be said to have absolutely stolen the show.
He actually directly suppressed Miss Qin and took the second place of Magic Capital Academy.
And in this round of battles, Dong Muxuan’s performance still went beyond Su Ping’s expectations.
Because his way of fighting was different from most people’s.
In Beastmaster duels, the most straightforward and satisfying way is naturally to let the Pet Beasts clash head‑on with raw combat power.
Like Chen Zhan and Qin Xiaoxue.
The two of them are typical examples: that Azure Dragon, plus Miss Qin’s Crown Wolf Emperor + Mutated Ancient Life Tree combo, could practically be called unstoppable.
You could say it’s an absolutely domineering fighting style!
But Dong Muxuan was the exact opposite.
His fighting style was extremely simple and clear: just go straight for the enemy Beastmaster.
All three of his Pet Beasts were Space-based Pet Beasts.
Void Weaving Spider, Space-Cutting Mirror, Crystal Earthworm.
Among all elements, Space Element is the most silent and the most elusive.
So they can be called the most convenient Pet Beasts for carrying out assassination operations.
As for the Space Element, Su Ping was completely clueless as well.
It was just that in every battle video,
that Crystal Earthworm almost never showed up.
But the Space-Cutting Mirror was always in his hand, while the Void Weaving Spider usually appeared behind the opponent’s neck and then directly flung the opponent out of the arena.
You could say that among all the battles he watched, Dong Muxuan’s fighting style was the simplest and sharpest, and also the fastest.
This couldn’t help but make Su Ping exhale softly.
There are just too many kinds of bizarre Pet Beasts in the world.
With all sorts of strange methods, you really can’t afford to be arrogant and dismissive.
Otherwise, when facing someone like Dong Muxuan, there’s a huge chance you’d end up capsizing in the gutter.
Of course, this kind of sneaky assassination style isn’t without weaknesses either.
In fact, over these ten battles, Dong Muxuan actually lost one!
That’s right, this deeply hidden young direct heir of the Dong Family lost a match in this round.
His opponent in that battle was called Mu Hanchan.
The name sounds quite ancient‑styled.
But she’s definitely a modern person.
And she’s also a very pretty Ice Mountain Goddess, with a head of snow‑white hair and a kind of fantasy‑like ethereal vibe.
It’s just that from the images and videos on the wristband, you couldn’t see much expression or emotion on her face.
She really looked like a piece of truly cold stone.
Her background was indeed anything but ordinary.
She was the first place of Ice Origin Advanced Academy, jointly established by Beiyuan Province and Fengtian Province, in their Provincial Exam.
Her methods were also very simple.
That Great Ice Elemental Spirit just waved its hand, and the Void Weaving Spider hidden in the void was forced out of the vacuum.
Then it was completely frozen, losing all combat capability.
Instant kill!
Of course, since this was Dong Muxuan’s last battle, the Void Weaving Spider and his other two Pet Beasts were definitely not at peak condition.
However, Su Ping felt that even if Dong Muxuan were in his prime, he’d probably still not be a match for this Ice Mountain big sister.
The reason was simple: when it came to Ice-based Skills, Su Ping actually knew quite a lot.
Old Liu was still at home researching that Icefang Whitewolf’s Super-Rank Skill.
When the two of them chatted, they had talked about Ice Series Super Rank Skills.
Indeed, this Ice Origin Academy number one named Mu Hanchan, the Skill used by her Ice Series Great Elemental Spirit, was something Su Ping recognized at a glance.
Ice Series Super Rank Skill: "Absolute Zero!"
According to Old Liu, this counts as one of the strongest offensive killing Super-Rank Skills in the Ice System.
No flashy bells and whistles, just pure lowest temperature.
A lowest temperature that could instantly freeze even Space itself.
Reality also proved that the description of this Skill wasn’t talking nonsense.
The Void Weaving Spider that was directly frozen solid was the proof.
It was fortunate this was Dong Muxuan’s last battle; otherwise, if the Void Weaving Spider completely lost combat ability, the subsequent battles might have been greatly affected.
And that was just one of them.
The Eight Great Academies.
Almost everyone who could rank near the top wasn’t an ordinary person.
Super-Rank Skills, at this stage, in this competition for the strongest young Beastmasters in Dragon Country, were no longer an absolutely invincible dimensionality‑reduction strike!
Although so far, aside from Su Ping, only this Mu Hanchan had displayed a Super-Rank Skill, Su Ping believed that she definitely wasn’t the only one who possessed such Skills!
Not to mention anyone else, Miss Qin had barely any time to contact him in the latter half of the year.
With Sang Sheng as her backer and her own Talent on top of that, if he said her three Pet Beasts didn’t each have some Super-Rank Skill as their trump card, Su Ping simply wouldn’t buy it.
Compared to the others, Su Ping’s side seemed a lot more laid‑back.
Out of ten matches, Su Ping only made a move three times.
Aside from the second match against Fang Xu.
He also stepped in for the last two matches,
it’s just that those opponents weren’t even as good as Fang Xu.
The reason was simple: his final two opponents were contestants already confirmed to be eliminated. The only reason they stepped onto the field was to struggle on their last breath and to show their faces in this high‑profile duel of Su Ping’s.
In the end, not only Su Ping, but even the audience could tell that these guys were purely here to mess around.
So on this No. 31 arena, Su Ping didn’t do much else, but he did roughly observe quite a few other seeded players.
Aside from Ice Origin Academy’s Mu Hanchan, there was Qin Feng from Xijing Ancient Academy, Pan Xiaoyu from South Sea Academy in Lingnan, and so on. Most of them weren’t shabby at all, finishing the second round of advancement with a perfect record of ten wins and zero losses.
