Chapter 49

Guanghan Zhan enters the battle, Meng Tianxiang is shocked.

This was the first time Xue Youyou had ever met Lin Feiyan in person.

It has to be said that Lin Feiyan has a face that looks very impressive.

The other side is right to say it's an unfinished battle.

The last time the two met in ranked matches, they only exchanged a move from tens of thousands of meters apart, and they didn't even get to fight.

Xue Youyou smiled warmly and shook hands firmly with Lin Feiyan: "Okay, how do you want to play? 1v1, or 5v5 like last time?"

Xue Youyou's tone revealed a strong sense of confidence, and everyone present could feel an overwhelming sense of relaxation.

Even Lin Feiyan was infected by this momentum, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, she said, "Then let's have a one-on-one duel, shall we?"

Since Xue Youyou had said so, Lin Feiyan didn't hold back.

She came here to fight that strange snow woman, Xue Youyou, again. Ideally, this battle should be free from interference from other factors and be a completely fair contest.

"Log in." Xue Youyou's answer was straightforward. She took the lead in sitting in the virtual pod and connecting to the virtual battle network.

Seeing this, Lin Feiyan didn't waste any words and sat down in the empty virtual pod next to Xue Youyou.

The two added each other as friends, and then immediately opened a 1v1 room for one-on-one pet battles.

They started fighting without hesitation, without any delay.

On the contrary, both sides couldn't help but feel tense as they looked at the game loading screen.

On one side is Xue Youyou, the rising star of Lanzhiyuan who has gained fame in recent days, and on the other side is Lin Feiyan, the long-established champion of the league.

One-on-one battles between top players.

For most Beastmasters, their main battle pet is at least one level stronger than their other contracted pets. Therefore, 1v1 is the most classic and also the most entertaining competitive mode.

Through the large screen in the center of the training room, everyone could clearly see that both sides had entered the map selection phase.

[Start map selection...]

Lin Feiyan selected to ban: Shattered Star Icefield, Burial Snow Corridor, Inscribed Glacier

[Snowy Ghosts Chooses to Forbidden Flight]

[Remaining maps are being randomly generated...]

Seeing that Xue Youyou had chosen to ban the airspace, many people present secretly grumbled, and Lu Yuan's face darkened.

In fact, the map has a significant impact on the battle. If you can randomly get a map that is compatible with your pet, it is not a problem to increase your combat power by 20% to 30%. On the contrary, if you are randomly assigned a map with poor compatibility, it will be difficult to exert your full strength.

If you're even less lucky, your opponent might strengthen while you weaken, and the difference between you and them can be significant.

Especially since Lin Feiyan has already openly indicated that she will send out the Scarlet Flame Spear, Xue Youyou should ban several maps that favor fire-attribute pets.

Even though Lin Feiyan is one of the Ten Heavenly Kings, he still obediently bans maps.

Now, Lu Yuan's impression of Xue Youyou worsened.

Based on her many years of experience as dean, young students who commit the sin of arrogance usually don't end up well; sooner or later they will pay the price for their arrogance.

As for this battle, Lu Yuan could only pray that Xue Youyou's luck wouldn't be too bad.

After all, there are hundreds of maps in the random library. Leaving aside maps that favor melee characters, the probability of randomly getting a map where fire has a home advantage is less than five percent.

In other words, the probability of Xue Youyou successfully showing off is still quite high.

However, the more people believe in probability, the more surprising the probability will be.

The random map result is: Flaming Mountain.

Looking at the result on the screen, Lu Yuan remained silent for a long time before finally forcing out six words through gritted teeth: "Damn it, Xue Youyou!"

He loves to show off, and now look what happened—even God couldn't stand it anymore and sent him a fiery mountain of hellish conditions.

She wanted to see how the ice-type Yuki-onna could defeat the Crimson Flame Spear on the Flame Mountain map.

The map's buffs and nerfs are no joke; any Beastmaster with hundreds of battles of experience knows how much these things affect the outcome of a match.

This is a huge disadvantage for Xue Youyou!

In contrast to the speechless reactions of the people from Lanzhiyuan, the people from Fentianyuan were all laughing.

He loved showing off and couldn't resist using maps; now he's been punished by the gods.

Lin Jinlan beamed with joy and cheered, "Go, sister! You must teach this arrogant white-haired brat a lesson!"

The rule for 1v1 single pet battles is to first select the map and then choose the pet.

Seeing that the battle map had randomly selected Flaming Mountain, Xue Youyou thought for a moment and then changed her original battle pet, Snow Maiden, to Guanghan Slash.

Soon, the pets that both sides would use in the battle were decided.

[Lin Feiyan: Complete Form - Weapon Type - Crimson Hellfire Spear]

As expected, Lin Feiyan chose the Crimson Flame Spear.

However, everyone was surprised when they saw Xue Youyou's battle pet.

【Xue Youyou: Complete Form - Weapon Type - Guanghan Slash】

An unfamiliar pet name appeared on the screen.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, "Besides the Snow Maiden, she actually has other fully-level pet beasts?!"

Keep in mind that Xue Youyou had only awakened her companion pet less than a month ago, while most of the new students in her cohort were still playing in the mud.

In such a short period of time, Xue Youyou not only raised a legendary rare pet beast, the Snow Maiden, but also another fully-formed weapon-type beast. This can no longer be described simply as genius.

Meng Yanqing was no less shocked than Lu Yuan.

No one knew Xue Youyou's second pet better than her; that Moonstone was something she had lost a bet to Xue Youyou.

She never expected that in such a short time, Xue Youyou would raise it to its complete form, and it was a pet with a name she had never heard of before.

"It's not the Moonlit Ice Soul after all?" Meng Yanqing suppressed her curiosity and confusion, deciding to ask Xue Youyou privately later.

However, not all the beast tamers present were ignorant of the value of beasts.

Just because Lu Yuan and Meng Yanqing didn't recognize Guanghan Zhan doesn't mean everyone else didn't.

Unlike the confusion shown by others, both Lu Yutang and Meng Tianxiang had expressions of shock on their faces.

The moment Lu Yutang saw the words "Guanghan Zhan," a massive tsunami surged within her. Her eyes wavered as she murmured to herself, "Is it really the divine beast Guanghan Zhan...?"

Because she had been obsessed with legendary beasts since childhood, she collected a lot of books and materials related to rare and exotic beasts. Among them, there happened to be an ancient tattered page with a description of the appearance of the divine beast Guanghan Zhan. Lu Yutang still remembers every word in it clearly.

Once the battle begins, and she sees the full appearance of Xue Youyou's pet beast, she will be able to determine whether it is truly the divine beast Guanghan Zhan.

Lu Yutang stared intently at the screen, afraid of missing any of the next details.

As for Meng Tianxiang, who was secretly observing, she was even more shocked than Lu Yutang at this moment, and felt like she was going crazy.

Beast tamers who have cultivated to her level will have some understanding of divine beasts, and will also understand their power and superiority.

Even in states of higher rank than Yuelan Prefecture, if a beast tamer is fortunate enough to sign a contract with a divine beast, it is a super event that can shake the entire state.

Not to mention Yuelan Prefecture, a lower-level prefecture that has never had any mythical beasts in its history.

Meng Tianxiang can say with certainty that if Xue Youyou's Guanghan Slash is genuine, then Xue Youyou will be the first Divine Beast Master in the history of Yuelanzhou.
