Chapter 193 Raising a Monster

Everything happened too fast; everyone was still predicting how the duel would go, but in the next instant, it was over?!

Leaving only the Vine Monster on the ground, flattened and stripped of its combat capability...

Chen Yu smiled slightly. This was more like it. By concentrating the strength of an entire island, even a D-rank could be raised into a monster!

"Holy crap!"

Wang Mengmeng was the first to cry out. "Smashed to death! It was smashed to death in one go! Water Bubble's big butt is just too..."

She grabbed Li Mengyao's arm and jumped up and down. Li Mengyao was being pulled back and forth by her. "It wasn't smashed to death! Just smashed into uselessness. That butt is even bigger than yours!"

Zhang Wanyue also smiled slightly. "Is this the change brought by a void index of 46?"

Indeed, at this moment, with its true form revealed, Water Bubble's attributes had undergone a heaven-turning, earth-shaking transformation.

[Pet: Water Bubble (Revealed Void Form State)]

[Rank: D]

[Level: lv1]

[Comprehensive Quality Attributes: 86 (46)]

[Current void index: 46!]

Cheng Minglang's mouth hung open, and it took him a long while to find his voice. "C-rank... smashed in one hit? Is this really a D-rank?"

Pei Yuanheng spoke indifferently, "As I expected."

Captain Zhou Ting also leaned in. "Officer Pei, what level are your pets now?"

Pei Yuanheng smiled slightly. "Level six."

Captain Zhou Ting nodded. "As expected, your efficiency is twice ours."

While everyone was talking...

[Duel in Progress]

[Seventh Island · Baby Bus VS Ninth Island · Dingfeng Racing Team]

"Fire element? Oh no, we're being countered!"

"What's the panic? It's a B-rank against a D-rank. So what if it's a counter?"

"Yeah, look at the long term. Our B-rank is meant to fight their C-ranks!"

"At most, it'll just take a bit of time..."

The car owner of the Dingfeng Racing Team was a man with a buzz cut. He stood at the edge of the platform and wasted no words, acting clean and decisively.

A dark red lizard scurried out from the edge of the platform, its four claws digging into the ground. They had seen the previous crushing defeat clearly and had learned their lesson, so they struck immediately, aiming for a killing blow.

But Water Bubble simply expanded on the spot!

The two pets collided, orange-red and blue-white interweaving as a blinding light exploded on the platform!

The lizard's throat was like an untiring flamethrower, continuously slamming a pillar of orange-red fire into Shui Bobo. Wave after wave, each fiercer than the last!

The temperature on the platform soared rapidly, and the grayish-white stone slabs were being baked until they turned white!

"It's still holding on?"

"A D-rank tanking a B-rank. Why hasn't it fallen yet?"

"It feels like it's about to be roasted into liquid, right?"

"Look at it, how long has the fire been burning?"

"Must be over ten seconds. The fire is even weakening a bit..."

The people of the Seventh Island fell somewhat silent.

The people of the Ninth Island stared intently, anticipating the notification of victory.

"Xiao Yu... is Water Bubble okay?"

Liu Manqing felt a bit distressed and asked in a low voice.

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry. At the final moment, I will choose to forfeit."

He paused as the flames exploded once more, the orange-red light reflecting on his face. "But not now. At least for this moment, Water Bubble doesn't want to lose."

Chen Yu had asked other teams from the Seventh Island; the Comprehensive Quality Attributes of B-rank pets were only around 60. Even with level-up bonuses, they wouldn't exceed 70. Meanwhile, after Water Bubble's skill was deployed, its attribute of 86 was enough to tank based on pure numbers!

Unconsciously, Chen Yu thought back to that figure from his past life...

On the stage, the fire continued to burn.

Shui Bobo continued to hold on.

The thirtieth second of the fire eruption.

The lizard's fire suddenly ended, a fact even it didn't seem to realize.

It stood with its mouth open, only a few wisps of green smoke rising from its throat.

"?"

Only at this moment did Shui Bobo's black dot eyes light up again!

"Gulu!!!"

As if intimidated, the lizard was so scared it immediately retreated. Under the direction of the Dingfeng Racing Team, they forfeited directly!

Only then did Water Bubble lose its strength completely, collapsing onto the ground.

[Duel Ended]

[Seventh Island · Baby Bus Wins]

[Ninth Island · Dingfeng Racing Team Loses]

"Third match, we forfeit!"

Chen Yu forfeited immediately, ran over to pick up Water Bubble, and returned to the team.

"Gulu..."

Water Bubble let out a cry, its voice very small.

The women also crowded around, looking after it with concern.

Only now did the people of the Seventh Island look at Water Bubble with a bit more respect in their eyes.

However.

In the next two matches,

the opponent's B-rank pet swept through two C-ranks.

The final result was,

the Seventh Island was defeated.

The respect that had just emerged vanished once more.

Because everyone went back to thinking that Water Bubble, being a D-rank, monopolizing the island's resources was an absolute waste.

"Those two C-ranks didn't even scratch the skin of the opponent's B-rank."

"So didn't we lose today?"

"Resource output is halved, and pet comprehensive attributes will also decrease by 1%..."

"If it weren't for the Baby Bus taking up so many resources, those two C-ranks might have..."

"Shh."

Everyone quickly shut their mouths because Chen Yu's gaze had already swept over.

However, Chen Yu was in no mood to deal with them.

As he passed by them, he said indifferently, "Work hard today. Tomorrow, I'll let my Water Bubble take on all three. Anyone who slacks off, I'll chop them up."

After saying that, he had already disappeared through the door in the back.

Leaving the people of the Seventh Island indignant but helpless.

This was blatant exploitation!

...

...

Although they lost the duel and their ranking dropped, Chen Yu was not worried.

It had only been one night since obtaining the pet, and Water Bubble could already tank a high-level fire element.

This was enough to prove his strategy was correct.

Regardless of level, by stacking skills, Water Bubble would eventually crush all other pets with its butt.

In any case, looking at the current island rankings, the Seventh Island was still in the middle of the pack—

[1st Place: First Island, Wins 2, Losses 0, Points 2]

[2nd Place: Second Island, Wins 2, Losses 0, Points 2]

[3rd Place: Fifth Island, Wins 2, Losses 0, Points 2]

[4th Place: Third Island, Wins 1, Losses 1, Points 0]

[5th Place: Ninth Island, Wins 1, Losses 1, Points 0]

[6th Place: Eighth Island, Wins 1, Losses 1, Points 0]

[7th Place: Seventh Island, Wins 1, Losses 1, Points 0]

[8th Place: Sixth Island, Wins 0, Losses 2, Points -2]

[9th Place: Fourth Island, Wins 0, Losses 2, Points -2]

Strictly speaking, this was a tie for fourth, not third from the bottom, Hmph!

In the afternoon, Chen Yu was on the island basking in the sun, waiting for the sunset and hoping for a seagrass attack!

The seagrass didn't come...

Instead, Cheng Minglang from the military team walked over.

"Chen Yu, Officer Pei has urgent business with you."

"Urgent business?"

"Yeah. To put it simply, we seem to have... discovered a building material treasure chest!"
