68: I don't have the habit of holding back, be careful~
Outside the Heaven's Pride Tower.
The professionals who had been constantly watching the Heaven's Pride Rankings had already widened their eyes, their breathing quickening.
At this moment, the money they had lost had long been thrown to the back of their minds.
They stared intently at the Heaven's Pride Rankings, their faces filled with shock.
On the Heaven's Pride Rankings, clear rankings came into view.
"Heaven's Pride Tower 100th Floor: Chen Sheng — Profession: God's Envoy, Level: Five-turn 150."
"Heaven's Pride Tower 99th Floor: Fang Hongyu — Profession: Heavenly Fire Mage, Level: Five-turn 148."
"Heaven's Pride Tower 98th Floor: Lei Zhenghao — Profession: Thunder Mage, Level: Five-turn 145."
...
"Current Challenger: Qin Feng."
"Heaven's Pride Tower 97th Floor: Qin Feng — Profession: Beast Master, Level: Two-turn 90."
...
"97th floor! He actually reached the 97th floor?!"
"What's going on? A Two-turn Beast Master has this kind of combat power?"
"Are you sure the Heaven's Pride Tower ranking display isn't wrong?"
"..."
At this moment, no one questioned whether Qin Feng got on the Heaven's Pride Tower through benefits.
Are you kidding? To bribe all the Pride with money, that would be an astronomical figure.
What's more, not all Pride can be bought with money; which of those Pride from major powers is short on money?
"Could it be, as Li Shan said, that this Beast Master contracted a Reversion-level Beast?"
"What kind of heaven-defying luck is this?"
"The next floor is Lei Zhenghao from Tianjing Lei Family, a Five-turn top-tier Thunder Mage. I wonder what will happen when he faces this Beast Master."
"A Five-turn 145 Thunder Mage, a top-tier profession focused on killing, and his level is already close to the Five-turn limit. His true combat power is probably not weaker than some Five-turn professionals."
"However, if it's truly a Reversion-level Beast, it's hard to say; either of them could win."
"..."
Everyone looked at the ranking list and discussed animatedly.
At this time, Li Shan also spoke.
"Thunder Mages have the strongest killing power, and Lei Zhenghao comes from the Tianjing Lei Family. From the day his profession awakened, his family elders would arrange various combat training for him."
"While a Reversion-level Beast is indeed powerful, in my opinion, Lei Zhenghao has a greater chance of winning."
"That makes sense. Lei Zhenghao's own combat power is not inferior, and with his rich combat experience, his chances of winning are at least 70%."
"Amazing, Brother Li's analysis is reasonable."
"..."
The onlookers all agreed, acknowledging what Li Shan said.
Seeing this, Li Shan's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction.
Although he was betting on Chen Sheng in the end, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance to put some pressure on Wang Hao before that.
However, no sooner had their voices faded.
A disdainful scoff, however, came at this moment.
"You analyze it so thoroughly, why don't you take a good look at the Heaven's Pride Rankings first?"
Wang Hao's voice was lazy, his tone full of mockery.
"Heaven's Pride Rankings?"
Li Shan was stunned.
Everyone also stopped their discussion and looked over.
...
"Heaven's Pride Tower 97th Floor: Lei Zhenghao, Profession — Thunder Mage, Level: Five-turn 145."
...
"Current Challenger: Qin Feng."
"Heaven's Pride Tower 98th Floor: Qin Feng, Profession — Beast Master, Level: Two-turn 90."
...
"Holy crap!!!"
"He's on the 98th floor of the Heaven's Pride Tower?"
"How long has it been?"
"One minute? Lei Zhenghao, a Five-turn top-tier Thunder Mage, lost in one minute? Isn't that too exaggerated?"
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Originally, in their opinion, the battle between the two would at least be evenly matched.
Even if Lei Zhenghao were to lose, it would take at least half an hour. Who would have thought that the battle would be over in just one minute?
...
"That Beast Master, he... he couldn't have controlled two Reversion-level Beasts, could he?"
Suddenly, one person's voice trembled, voicing an extremely bold guess.
"Two Reversion-levels? This..."
Someone wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
You should know that in this world, the only Beast Master who simultaneously controlled two Reversion-level Beasts was Zhou Fu, the president of the Beast Master Association.
Some Five-turn Beast Masters still struggled to get their first Reversion-level.
Now, you're saying a Beast Master who is only Two-turn actually has two Reversion-levels at the same time?
How can people believe this?
But if you don't believe it, how do you explain the ability to defeat a Five-turn top-tier Thunder Mage in one minute?
"One Reversion-level is already a top-tier Son of Luck; two..."
"Is this the difference between people?"
Everyone smiled bitterly, feeling emotional in their hearts.
They didn't envy people like Lei Zhenghao, Fang Hongyu, and Chen Sheng.
Top-tier professions, that's pure talent; they couldn't envy that.
But this Beast Master, who was similar in level to them, only Two-turn, made a hint of jealousy rise in their hearts.
To be able to control two Reversion-level Beasts at Two-turn, this isn't talent, this is pure luck!
...
"Two Reversion-levels?"
Li Shan slightly turned his head to glance at Wang Hao.
"No wonder you're so confident. Is this your trump card?"
"Too bad... Chen Sheng also has the strength to crush Lei Zhenghao, and two Reversion-levels may not be invincible."
After speaking, Li Shan said no more, quietly watching the Heaven's Pride Rankings, waiting for the result.
Wang Hao listened to everyone's guesses and couldn't help but shake his head.
Two Reversion-levels, indeed, was the limit they could imagine.
Unfortunately, they still underestimated that person.
...
Heaven's Pride Tower 98th Floor.
Lei Zhenghao's brows furrowed slightly as he watched the man walking towards him step by step.
"Two-turn 90, Beast Master?"
He murmured slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"To be able to get here, is he a person of great luck? Did he control a Reversion-level Beast?"
In just a moment, he had a guess.
Then, the corner of his mouth curved up.
"It's somewhat interesting. Although there were Beast Masters in the battles arranged by the family elders, gold-grade was already the limit. This is my first time facing a Reversion-level."
"Coincidentally, I also have a skill of lightning transformation. How about we give it a try?"
"Come! Don't disappoint me."
As his voice fell, Lei Zhenghao suddenly pointed a hand to the sky.
Boom!
His magic power surged, instantly transforming into purple lightning that shot into the sky.
Without chanting, a giant lightning python shimmering with purple lightning appeared in the sky.
This was a skill he had used countless times, already perfected to the point of instant casting.
Lei Zhenghao stepped on the head of the lightning python, slowly approaching Qin Feng, a grin on his lips: "How's my lightning python? Come, summon your Reversion-level Beast, don't disappoint me."
"Reversion-level?"
Qin Feng shook his head and chuckled.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
As soon as these words came out, Lei Zhenghao was stunned, thinking: Did I guess wrong?
But without a Reversion-level, how could he have gotten here?
He frowned slightly, somewhat confused.
Just as he was about to ask again, he saw Qin Feng casually raise his hand.
A voice drifted over.
"However, Ancient grade should also be to your liking, right?"
Next moment.
The world changed color.
Boom!
Black clouds covered the sky, obscuring all light.
Amidst the flashing lightning, a giant dragon head slowly emerged from the clouds.
A pair of vertical pupils, radiating cold emotions, approached the lightning python, staring at Lei Zhenghao.
In an instant.
Lei Zhenghao's face changed drastically, horrified to the extreme.
Compared to the giant dragon head emerging from the black clouds, the lightning python beneath his feet was like an earthworm.
Moreover, the lightning python beneath his feet was actually trembling, and its lightning-condensed form even showed signs of dissipating.
Rank suppression?
Lei Zhenghao's mouth was open, his body subtly trembling.
Ancient grade, Black Dragon King?!
A monster has come to this Heaven's Pride Tower!
...
"I, surrender!"
A dry voice came from Lei Zhenghao's mouth.
Qin Feng nodded and withdrew the Black Dragon King.
The black clouds dispersed, and light reappeared.
The lightning dragon beneath Lei Zhenghao's feet also dissipated, and his body swayed a few times before he slowly sat down on the ground.
"Haha... Hahahaha..."
Suddenly, he actually supported himself with both hands on the ground and let out a burst of wild laughter.
Qin Feng frowned, not understanding why, but saw Lei Zhenghao laughing so hard he was bent over, extremely happy.
"I know, I know, hahahaha..."
"That designated person is indeed not you, Chen Sheng, hahahaha..."
"This time, let you, Chen Sheng, also experience the taste of failure, experience the feeling of falling from the clouds."
"Hahaha... Hahahaha..."
He kept laughing, laughing until tears came out, but still refused to stop.
Until the failure prompt came from inside the Heaven's Pride Tower.
A streak of light flashed, enveloping Lei Zhenghao and teleporting him from the 98th floor to the 97th floor, and the laughter finally disappeared from Qin Feng's ears.
Qin Feng shook his head, not delving into the reason, and with a step, entered the next floor.
...
Heaven's Pride Tower 99th Floor.
Qin Feng stood calmly, facing Fang Hongyu with fiery red hair.
"Oh?"
Fang Hongyu's beautiful eyes moved, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Two-turn 90, Beast Master? You actually defeated Lei Zhenghao?"
She was surprised in her heart and took long strides towards Qin Feng.
"I'm a little curious, how did you defeat Lei Zhenghao?"
"Even for me, defeating Lei Zhenghao is extremely difficult, even with the risk of failure."
"Even if you control a Reversion-level Beast, defeating him would probably be very difficult."
As she spoke, Fang Hongyu had already arrived beside Qin Feng.
She leaned close to Qin Feng, her eyes full of strong curiosity as she looked at him.
As Fang Hongyu's body approached, Qin Feng clearly felt a scent waft into his nostrils.
He subconsciously wanted to take half a step back, but Fang Hongyu moved her feet and got even closer.
"My strength is comparable to Lei Zhenghao's; if you can defeat him, you should be able to defeat me."
"However, I don't have the habit of holding back."
"Be careful~"
The last three words had just left her mouth.
Suddenly, Qin Feng's expression changed slightly.
He saw that Fang Hongyu, who had been close to him, exhaling like orchids, suddenly burst into intense flames all over her body, and then a palm strike landed on Qin Feng's body.
