Chapter 212 - Lugh vs Quinn
Chapter 212: Lugh vs Quinn
Faced with the siege of three Gold-Grade pets, Lugh’s Berserk Bear tattoo glowed.
Soon, something that made Edward despair happened.
His claws could not cut through his body, nor could the fireballs burn him.
Then, Edward, one man and two beasts, were knocked to the ground by Lugh’s punches.
All the spectators were shocked and their mouths were wide open.
Some of the soft-hearted girls immediately closed their eyes.
It was really… a little too cruel now.
Soon after, the referee announced that Lugh had won.
However, no one in the stadium cheered.
Lugh did not care. It was fine as long as he won.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Please choose a pet that needs to improve its talent.]
In this match, only the Stormhawk and the Berserk Bear had been fighting.
They could only choose between the two of them.
Lugh chose the Berserk Bear. Since there was still a competition, it did not matter who came first.
[Ding! Your Berserk Bear’s Rare-Grade Strength talent has been upgraded. It has been upgraded to a peerless-grade talent.]
[Ding! Because your Berserk Bear’s talent has been upgraded, its growth potential has been upgraded from Mid-Grade Emperor to High-Grade Emperor.]
Lugh clenched his fists, feeling the strength in his arms grow even stronger.
He was very satisfied with his Peerless Strength talent.
With his powerful defense and terrifying strength, he was definitely an offensive tank!
He was looking forward to what kind of experience it would be like when his powerful talent reached the Mythical-Grade.
Would he be able to overturn everything?
In the second match, Lugh encountered the Silver-Grade Beast Master Number 8.
The Silver-Grade Beast Master didn’t choose to give up on the match. He bravely launched an attack on Lugh, and Lugh gave him a dignified defeat.
In the third match, Lugh met a Gold-Grade Beast Master.
The Beast Master No. 27 didn’t trigger the system mission. His strength was far from Edward’s, and he only had a single Gold-Grade divine pet. Lugh easily took him down.
In the fourth match, his opponent was still a Gold-Grade Beast Master.
However, he successfully triggered the system mission.
When he sent a four-meter-tall Gold-Grade Demonic Rock flying with a punch, the audience was dumbfounded.
They had no idea where Lugh’s limit was.
Even Edward, who was watching from the side with a bandage on his face, whispered when he saw this scene, “Looks like he went easy on me when he hit me.”
This time, Lugh left the two skills that enhanced his talent to the Stormhawk.
[Ding! Your Stormhawk’s Peerless talent, Blade, Spear, and Sword Feathers, has been upgraded to Mythical-Grade talent.]
Another Myth-Grade talent. The Stormhawk already had three Myth-Grade talents.
The Myth-Grade Blade, Spear, and Sword Feathers would definitely make the Stormhawk’s combat strength in aerial combat off the charts.
Lugh suddenly realized that it was not without benefits to participate in the competition.
After the intense competition, the sky was already dark.
Skylight City announced that today’s competition was over. The remaining matches would be arranged for tomorrow.
Lugh left the stage and Sang Kun gave him a bear hug. “Good kid, your performance was very good. It was really great. It completely exceeded my expectations.”
Grandet gave Lugh a thumbs up.
“Lugh, you’re really amazing!”
Viniya ran over and waved her small fists. “Especially that last punch. It felt like a punch to a child.”
Viniya and the others had already been eliminated.
However, they had not left yet. They wanted to continue watching the matches.
This was a rare opportunity for them to broaden their horizons.
“It’s alright. It’s just that I’m a little strong.”
Viniya asked in a low voice, “Can you tell me what that Divine Beast with super strong defense on you is? When I reach Gold-Grade, I’ll get one.”
“Berserk Bear!”
“Is the Berserk Bear that powerful?”
“This one is a little special. Everyone else knows about it.”
Lugh smiled and followed everyone back to the guest house.
Not long after Lugh left, Quinn found Edward.
“Edward, I’m going to fight with Lugh tomorrow.”
Quinn’s expression was a little uncomfortable. “I realized that Lugh is really very strong. I’m a little uncertain.”
“He’s a real gun!” Edward nodded. “Very strong!”
“I realized that the thing that has been troubling me recently is that Lugh. His flying pet, from the start of the competition until now, not a single flying pet has been able to last a single round under the hands of that Stormhawk.”
Quinn said seriously, “You’ve even fought with his Stormhawk before. Do you think there’s any way to counter that Stormhawk?”
Edward fell silent.
After a long time… He slowly said, “That Stormhawk must have mutated. Its speed is ridiculously fast, and I can’t hit it with my skills. It’s impossible to get close to it. But its attack power is terrifyingly strong. Unless you have a flying pet that’s faster than his Stormhawk… Only then is there a glimmer of hope.”
“What if two flying-type Divine Beasts surround it?”
“So the divine pet you’re hiding is still a flying-type pet beast!” Edward nodded. “Then there’s still a chance of getting close.”
After the first four rounds of battles in the finals, Lugh had proven his strength to the people of Skylight City.
He had won four out of four battles, becoming one of the favorites to fight for the championship.
Everyone knew that as a Gold-Grade Beast Master, Lugh should still have two pet beasts.
However, he didn’t bring them out from the beginning to the end.
On the day of the competition, the spectators who had come to watch the competition had almost filled up the entire venue.
Skylight City had even used a large LCD TV to broadcast the match live.
Of course, this kind of broadcast was only limited to Skylight City.
After all, Fierce Beasts roamed freely in the outside world. It was impossible to build a signal tower, and it was impossible to broadcast the scene of this match to other cities.
“Who do you think will win?”
“Of course it’s Quinn!”
“I want to know what level of Divine Beast that Quinn is hiding.”
“Speaking of which, Quinn is hiding one as well.”
…
Lugh’s fifth opponent was the Silver-Grade Beast Master, Allen, who had successfully defeated a Gold-Grade Beast Master.
However, although Allen was able to fight above his level, he could only die on the spot when he encountered a cheat like Lugh.
The flying-type Divine Beast was instantly killed by the Stormhawk, and Allen, along with his pet beast, was sent flying by Lugh.
His sixth opponent was a Gold-Grade Beast Master. Unfortunately, his opponent wasn’t strong enough to trigger the system mission.
After six matches, Lugh won six out of six matches.
Similarly, Quinn won six out of six matches.
Evening arrived, and the match was set for tomorrow.
On the day of the final match, there was a sea of people, cheering for Quinn everywhere.
Standing in the arena, even Lugh felt his ears ringing.
[Ding! Mission issued: Defeat Quinn and seize the Southwest City-State’s Youth Genius Tournament.]
[Mission reward: Random Mythical talent reward, designated to increase pet’s talent by one level.]
Seeing the mission reward, Lugh knew that he was going to get it.
He did not think that he had too many Mythical talents.
“Contestants from both sides, please summon your battle pets.”
Quinn waved his hand, and two Gold-Grade flying pets, Azure Eagle and Thundercloud Bird, flew into the sky.
“So Quinn has been hiding the Thundercloud Bird.”
“The Thundercloud Bird’s flying speed is very fast. Maybe it can catch up with that pet of Lugh’s.”
Lugh could roughly guess the other party’s intention. He did not care and directly summoned the Stormhawk.
Then, he thought for a moment and a huge blood-red vine appeared in front of everyone.
Lugh was determined to get the Mythical-Grade talent reward.
As soon as the blood-red vine-type Fierce Beast appeared, it attracted everyone’s attention.
There were too few plant-type pets in the arena.
“What’s the use of a plant-type pet for? Didn’t he see Quinn’s Blazing Bear?”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s used for consumption!”
…
The Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was extremely huge, occupying almost one-fifth of the empty arena.
More than a hundred blood-colored vines were twisting in the air. The blood-colored vines were covered with sharp barbs and round leaves. There were also a few blood-red budding buds.
The moment Sang Kun, Grandet, and Kula saw the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, they subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.
Viniya asked curiously, “What are you doing?”
Sang Kun, Grandet, and Kula only remembered that the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was Lugh’s pet.
Sang Kun took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect Lugh to have that thing.”
