Chapter 1451 "Steel Race!"
"boom!"
The black beam struck the white light, but it had no effect on it; the white light remained bright.
At that moment, the stands around the stadium suddenly fell silent.
Seeing this, E'xi Ling seemed to realize something and stopped attacking. Instead, she looked at her Beastmaster with a blank expression.
However, it found that its beast tamer looked even more bewildered than it, to the point of being completely dumbfounded. It had never seen such an expression on its beast tamer's face before.
"This, this isn't going to evolve, is it?" In the audience, someone stared wide-eyed, asking with an expression that said, "Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me."
Then the sounds around them gradually began to rise.
"I don't think so."
"Does Steel Power Emperor have any skills that can be performed in this way?"
"No, this really looks like the Light of Evolution!"
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Steel Power Emperor is already at the Emperor level. If it evolves again, wouldn't it become an Emperor-level pet? Impossible, absolutely impossible. This must be the way some skill is used. It looks like an evolution. Yes, that's it."
"Isn't the entire evolutionary chain of Qiao Sang's Steel Power Emperor completely new? There isn't even a prototype for its next stage yet. If the Steel Power Emperor really evolves, wouldn't we be the first batch of witnesses?"
"What are you thinking! I already said this can't be an evolution! The Steel Power Emperor's pet form was only recently revealed, which means the Steel Power Emperor hasn't been evolving for very long. It's a Royal level, it's already a Royal level, how could it evolve into an Emperor level in such a short time!"
"The entire evolution path of Steel Power Emperor is the evolution of bonds. If it can really evolve into an Emperor-level, the path might still rely on the power of bonds. If that's the case, is it temporarily evolving now by relying on the power of bonds?"
"Reason tells me that Steel Power Emperor can't evolve, but this one in front of me really looks like the Light of Evolution!"
"Impossible! Qiao Sang is only 18 years old! You mean she's about to have an Emperor-level pet beast! And an Emperor-level pet beast that has never appeared before?! I wouldn't even dare to dream of that!"
The argument in the audience grew increasingly heated.
Suddenly, someone saw something, jumped to their feet, and shouted in disbelief, "My God! It really is evolution! The white light is getting bigger! It's getting bigger!"
An eerie silence fell over the entire venue once again. Many people froze, their pupils constricted, and their bodies stiffened after confirming that the white light was indeed growing larger, as if they had been greatly shocked.
On the commentary stage, the two hosts and guests looked bewildered.
Nephthys was the first to react, her back stiffening abruptly. Shocked, she abruptly stood up, microphone in hand, and said with an incredulous expression:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Audience members here and viewers at home! We are about to witness the birth of a brand new Emperor-level pet beast! Steel Power Emperor! It has evolved!!!"
Auror took a deep breath, equally excited, and stood up, his face filled with profound shock. He exclaimed in a voice that almost cracked, "This is absolutely the most breathtaking scene in the entire Master Challenge—no, in all the Master Challenges ever held! I believe that no matter how much time passes, everyone will remember tonight, the Night of Steel Power Royal Evolution, whenever the Master Challenge is mentioned!!!"
For a royal-level pet to evolve into an emperor-level pet, it often requires absolute talent, absolute resources, and enough luck to complete the evolution.
No matter which planet a pet can evolve to the Emperor level, even on a planet like Super Star where pets are generally oppressed, an Emperor-level pet can become a powerful figure. If a certain race has a pet that evolves to the Emperor level, then no beast tamer on Super Star will actively provoke that race.
In the world of Beast Taming, there are many videos online of royal-level pets evolving into emperor-level ones, but in actual competitions, such evolutions are extremely rare, both historically and in reality.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Steel Power Emperor is a completely new form! After evolution, the Emperor-level will also be a completely new form!
New forms of pet beast races do appear on various planets every now and then, but it's been a long time since a completely new Emperor-level pet beast has appeared.
If Steel Power Emperor truly evolves successfully, then tonight's match will be the most unforgettable match in the history of the Masters Challenge.
“Reli.”
Reliroka looked deeply moved and exclaimed, expressing his surprise that the bond between Qiao Sang and Gang Quan Huang Ji had become so strong.
Although it hadn't experienced many battles, its age had given it experience, and Geriloka realized that this was a bond evolution.
On the field, the blinding white light continued to grow rapidly.
The silence in the stands was finally broken, like a powder keg being ignited. With a loud "boom," as if the champion had already been decided, the sound of cheers exploded.
"Holy crap! It's evolved! So the Steel Power Emperor really has evolved!"
"My god! The Steel Power Emperor's evolution path is too awesome! It can even evolve into a bond at the Emperor level!"
"It was worth it! Today's ticket was definitely worth it! I actually got to see an Emperor-level pet beast evolve live! And in a completely new form!"
"That's outrageous! Qiao Sang is too freakish! I thought she was going to lose this game, but she managed to evolve the Steel Power Royal Bond!"
"To be honest, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Lefebvre."
"Wait, is the power of the bond really that strong? Even pets that aren't at the late-stage Emperor level can directly evolve to the Emperor level?"
"Steel Power Emperor seems to be at the mid-stage of the Emperor level."
"It should only be able to evolve for a very short time."
"Let alone a short evolution time, even if it only evolved for a second, I would still worship it! It actually managed to evolve the entire evolution chain directly to the Emperor level!"
"Even a mid-stage Emperor-level beast couldn't directly evolve to the Emperor-level through the power of bonds, right? Isn't Steel Power Emperor a late-stage Emperor-level pet?"
"Do you know how long the Steel Power Emperor form has been around? Let alone the late stage of Emperor level, if I hadn't seen it fight with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe you if you said it was the mid stage of Emperor level."
"To evolve directly from the mid-stage of the Royal level to the Emperor level, just how strong must the bond between Qiao Sang and it be?"
"Did the two of them save each other's lives?"
"You've been reading too many novels. When Qiao Sang made a contract with it, it was just a beginner pet beast, a little steel falcon. How could it save Qiao Sang's life?"
"Is the upper limit of the other form of the Steel Falcon race only the Emperor level?"
"Seems to be."
"Wow, this is amazing! Not only are the evolution chains of the new forms all bond evolutions, but they can also go directly to the Emperor level. I'm even thinking of going to Super Star to find a little Steel Falcon to form a contract with."
"No need to go to Super Star. Let's wait a bit longer. I saw a news report last time that Flame Star seems to have already introduced the Little Steel Falcon race."
"You still want to form a contract with Little Steel Falcon? You might have had a chance before this match, but now that Steel Emperor can evolve to Emperor level, do you think you'll have a chance to form a contract with it even if Little Steel Falcon brings in Flame Star?"
"Whether there's a chance or not, it's worth a try. If I actually manage to contract a little steel falcon, I'm willing to give my life for it in exchange for its bond evolution to Emperor level!"
"Your life is worthless in the eyes of the little steel falcon. When they form a contract with a beast tamer, they look at the beast tamer's intelligence. Only a beast tamer like me, who graduated from a top beast taming academy, has the possibility of forming a contract with them."
"Heh, did you graduate from one of the four major interstellar universities? If not, stop spouting nonsense."
"."
"As expected of my idol! Ah! Jo-san! Jo-san!"
"I've made up my mind, from now on, Gangbao will be my idol! Gangbao! Gangbao!"
"Being able to evolve directly to the Emperor level through the power of bonds, my god, the Steel Falcon is definitely the most suitable pet for ordinary beast tamers!"
"Once the news came out that Little Steel Falcon could directly evolve to the Emperor level through Bond, do you think ordinary commoner Beast Tamers could still contract it? They simply couldn't, unless there were exceptionally intelligent commoner Beast Tamers who had a chance."
The group and their pets chatted excitedly while recording the white light on their phones, none of them wanting to miss this historic moment for the Little Steel Falcon species.
VIP room.
"Xia Xia!"
"Xiaxia!" Xia Lala looked at the white light on the field, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression, shouting excitedly.
"This is... evolution?!" Michaela stood there dumbfounded, his mind racing with a jumble of chaotic thoughts, a mixture of shock and confusion.
Honestly, she felt like she was dreaming.
Apart from Qiao Sang, no one knew better than her when Gang Bao officially evolved into Gang Quan Huang Ji. It had only been a short time, yet it was able to temporarily evolve into Emperor level.
Wait, wait, has something significant happened between Qiao Sang and Gang Bao recently that has strengthened their relationship? How come their bond power is suddenly enough to temporarily evolve into Emperor level?
Moreover, she remembered that Steel Treasure's energy was at the mid-Emperor level. For a pet beast to evolve at the Emperor level, the energy required is immeasurable. She had never heard of a mid-Emperor level pet beast that could directly evolve to the Emperor level through the power of bonds.
According to records, a late-stage Royal-level pet once evolved into an Emperor-level pet through the power of bond, but it only lasted for about five seconds.
How exactly did they manage to do that?
Suddenly, Michaela thought of something, and his expression turned excited.
The fact that Steel Power Emperor can temporarily evolve means its potential is not just Emperor-level! This will greatly increase Joe's chances of winning in the Star Cup in the future!
This is really great!
The phone in her hand was silent; the old guys who had been so active in the group chat suddenly went quiet.
However, soon my phone started vibrating repeatedly, and the old guys in the group suddenly started popping up.
[Steel Power Emperor has unexpectedly evolved!]
[Is Jossan really not planning to change mentors?! I'm two hundred years older than Michaela! I have far more teaching experience!]
[The Steel Falcon race is quite interesting; they can actually bond directly to the Emperor level. Should we import a batch of Steel Falcons to study them?]
[@Michael, did you have the Spirit of Fate calculate your fortune beforehand? That's why you went back to school during that time, deliberately hanging around in front of the dean, and that's how you became Josan's tutor?]
[I admit I'm a little jealous. What incredible luck did Michaela have?!]
[I suddenly remembered that our class has had instances of changing instructors before, hasn't it?]
I remember it was because my former teacher had passed away.
How is Michaela doing? @Michaela
The old men chatting were filled with envy, wishing they could turn back time and replace Michaela as Jossan's mentor.
After the Steel Emperor evolved, the outcome of subsequent matches became less important. For someone of their level, nurturing students capable of participating in the Star Cup was the most crucial task.
Qiao Sang has a monstrous talent, but the level cap of the pet beasts she previously contracted was not high. Two of them were even in completely new forms. Now, one of them has been confirmed to evolve to the Emperor level. With her talent, plus the Emperor-level pet beast in a completely new form, as long as nothing unexpected happens, she is practically a guaranteed Interstellar Cup player in the future!
The thought of this made them incredibly envious.
Her phone kept vibrating, but Michaela ignored it completely. She was still immersed in excitement, staring at the white light on the field.
"Grind it."
The Dragon King looked at the white light outside, shocked and somewhat envious.
Even that little guy Steel Treasure can temporarily evolve to Emperor level, when will I be able to evolve?
On the field.
The Nightshade Spirit did not launch another attack. It had now determined that its opponent was evolving, and it unconsciously swallowed, its body tense and very nervous.
After his initial shock, Lefebvre looked at the slender figure in the distance with an incredibly complex expression.
The ability to temporarily evolve a mid-stage Emperor-level pet into an Emperor-level beast—is this the power of the bond between Qiao Sang and Gang Quan Huang Ji?
He had to admit that after these few games, and with the evolution of Steel Power Emperor, he was completely convinced of his defeat.
Holy crap? Steel Treasure evolved?! How did it evolve?! Qiao Sang stared blankly at the white light on the field, the shock of the scene before her eyes making her instantly forget the pain in her body.
After the initial shock, Qiao Sang revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.
So, the bond between Steel and her has reached this level!
Remembering that she was currently live-streaming, Qiao Sang quickly composed herself, but even so, she couldn't hide her excitement.
I wonder what Steel Treasure in its Emperor-level form will look like.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the white light on the field finally gradually disappeared.
The audience fell silent instantly, everyone instinctively holding their breath, watching expectantly as the white light gradually disappeared.
Soon, a giant beast, over a hundred meters long, appeared in everyone's sight. Its body was covered with purple feathers as clear and hard as purple diamonds. Its head and wings were covered with silver steel armor. Its eyes were dark red, and the tips of its wings were dark red. It had two silver curved blades forming a crown on its head, and the end of its tail was forked like a series of sharp swords with dark red and silver stripes.
So cool! Everyone's eyes lit up and their breathing quickened.
"Steel Race!!!"
Just as everyone was about to start taking pictures, the giant figure clad in silver steel armor suddenly let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
An indescribable sense of oppression surged forth like a tidal wave.
Everyone and all the pets turned pale.
An invisible barrier instantly enveloped the area.
The indescribable oppressive feeling disappeared, and everyone, including the pets, gasped for breath, as if they had come back to life.
Suddenly, the barrier shook and a hundred or so cracks appeared.
The hearts of everyone, including the pets, were immediately in their throats.
On the field, an extremely terrifying sense of oppression pressed down on the Nightshade Spirit. Its mind trembled violently, its body shook, and it was unable to move or think at all. Its eyes rolled back, and it fell to the ground without warning.
"boom!"
Dust rose, gravel scattered, and the Nightshade Spirit returned to its normal form.
Almost the instant E'xi Ling fell to the ground, the imposing aura emanating from Steel Treasure vanished abruptly. With a snap of its eyes closed, it transformed back into the form of Steel Emperor, and with a thud, crashed to the ground.
The barrier stopped shaking.
In the audience, everyone and their pets breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at the two pets that had fallen to the ground one after the other and then returned to their original forms with suspicion. Their main focus was on Steel Treasure.
Is this the difference between Emperor-level and Royal-level pets?
With just a roar, the domineering aura emanating from him caused the barely injured E'xi Ling to collapse to the ground.
"Just now! We witnessed history in the Master Challenge!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis took a deep breath and shouted in a passionate voice, "Steel Power Emperor has evolved into an Emperor-level for the first time in the Master Challenge! It has unveiled its brand new form!"
Auror then chimed in, "The oppressive aura emanating from its God-level form directly overwhelmed Nightshade! However, due to insufficient energy, Steel Power Emperor quickly reverted to its original form and collapsed!"
"This is the power of an Emperor-level pet! Even without using any skills, it only appeared for a moment and was able to defeat a Royal-level pet!" Nefertis exclaimed.
“Reli.”
Reliroca took a big gulp of water to calm itself down, then barked to indicate that it was sitting there and had also felt the terror brought by Steel Power Emperor's evolution into Emperor level.
During the commentary, the shattered barrier disappeared, and a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee's badge came onto the field. After checking Steel Treasure and Nightshade Spirit, it blew its whistle, raised its paw upwards, and drew a circle, indicating that neither side could continue fighting, and the match was a draw.
A giant virtual screen appeared on the field.
Below the photos of Josan and Lefebvre, the images of Steel Treasure and Nightshade simultaneously changed from color to black and white. (End of Chapter)
