Chapter 1652

Chapter 637 – The Battle for the Myriad Source Fruit (Part 2)

“Should we just move Miles away…?” Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and she said seriously,

“I understand.”

To be honest, this was indeed the simplest and most effective method.

After all, in a battle between S-rank professional beast tamers, a slight mistake could destroy the Myriad Source Fruit. Moving Miles away before the battle would eliminate that concern.

As for which pet to consume the Myriad Source Fruit, she already had the answer: Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure’s energy was closest to the Emperor level, so no matter how much energy the Myriad Source Fruit contained, it should be able to evolve it.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said,

“Xia Bao, Little Xun Bao, you two coordinate your location like before.”

“Xia Xia.”

“Xun Xun~”

Xia Bao and Little Xun Bao called out simultaneously.

Then, Xia Bao began to communicate with the plants.

The surrounding plants rose without wind.

Little Xun Bao stretched out its paw and placed it on Xia Bao, its eyes glowing blue.

Michaela instantly understood what was going on. After a moment’s thought, he said,

“Let Xia Bao and Mei Mei locate her.”

“Xunxun?”

The blue light in Xun Bao’s eyes disappeared, and it turned to look.

Why?

“Teacher needs to move Miles away. If Mei Mei locates her and moves, the distance to the opponent can be better controlled.” Qiao Sang said, looking at Xun Bao.

“That’s right.” Michaela nodded slightly.

“Xunxun~”

Xun Bao called out unconvinced, indicating that it could also control the distance well.

Qiao Sang said, “If the distance isn’t controlled well, the opponent might attack directly. Whoever moves might be the first to be attacked.”

“Xunxun~”

Xun Bao instantly flashed to the side, gesturing “please” to Penjia Mei.

Penjia Mei stepped forward, placing its wings on Xia Bao’s body, its eyes glowing blue.

“Have you decided who should eat the Myriad Source Fruit?” Michaela asked.

“Xunxun~”

Upon hearing this, Xun Bao immediately floated in front of its Beastmaster, its eyes sparkling, seeking attention.

Qiao Sang glanced at it, then looked away, coldly uttering two words: “Gangbao.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao immediately wilted, floating to the ground and drawing circles with its paws.

Michaela pondered for a moment, then agreed:

“Gangbao is already capable of temporary evolution, so giving it the Myriad Source Fruit is indeed the best choice. If all goes well, it might be able to complete its evolution before the competition. That way, you’ll have two Emperor-level pets, increasing your chances of winning this competition.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao continued drawing circles.

“That’s what I was thinking too,” Qiao Sang said, glancing at Little Xunbao drawing circles on the ground. “With two Emperor-level pets, I can go further in the competition and participate in more matches, allowing Little Xunbao to absorb more white energy.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao paused, its paws circling, then suddenly looked up, floating to its Beastmaster’s side, nodding repeatedly, letting out a cry of agreement, indicating that it also thought giving the Myriad Source Fruit to the fourth brother was a good idea.

“Summon Steel Treasure first,” Michaela said, suddenly realizing something.

It should be “summon back”… Josang didn’t say much, directly forming hand seals.

A dazzling, magnificent golden star array lit up.

Soon, Steel Treasure’s figure appeared within the star array.

Josang looked at it, about to say something.

But before she could speak, Steel Treasure called out first:

“Steel Power.”

It knew everything.

Josang immediately swallowed back what she was about to say, turning her attention to Ya Bao and the others.

Ya Bao and the others should still be looking for Teacher Michaela; she needed to bring them back…

“Xia Xia!”

Just as she was thinking, Xia Bao suddenly called out, indicating that it had found them!

Josang’s thoughts were instantly diverted.

“Get ready,” Michaela said seriously, “Once I take Miles away, have Steel Treasure eat the Myriad Source Fruit immediately.”

“Understood!” Josang replied earnestly.

After speaking, her body tensed slightly, waiting to be diverted.

Mylis has three Emperor-level pets, and Teacher currently only has Spray Jiamei and Wuyuan on him. It’s unclear how long they can hold out…

But even if they only hold out for a few seconds, Gangbao should have eaten the Myriad Source Fruit by now.

Speaking of which, once Mylis is successfully transferred, she shouldn’t be able to return quickly. According to her information, all her contracted pets are Ghost-type, making her one of the few Beastmasters among the previous Interstellar Cup participants whose contracted pets were all of the same attribute.

It’s said that her original hair was brown, but because she contracted so many Ghost-type pets and received Ghost-type energy backflow, her hair turned completely purple…

Qiao Sang thought to herself as she waited quietly.

After about five seconds, she gathered her thoughts and asked with a puzzled expression,

“Why aren’t they leaving yet?”

“No rush,” Michaela said in a deep voice, “The Myriad Source Fruit isn’t ripe yet. The best time is when it’s ripe.”

Laufey’s assessment was within a day; whether it’s 24 hours or an hour is crucial. Going too early, even if she takes Mylis away and successfully holds her back, Qiao Sang will have to guard her alone.

If the people and pets from other factions recover from their injuries during this time, they will definitely gather here.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Qiao Sang’s strength, but she is still young and lacks experience in the wild. With multiple forces attacking from the same side, unexpected things might happen.

Moreover, she doesn’t know the extent of the injuries Wu Yuan Wang inflicted on the Yanlu Bird, or how effective the healers sent by Yan Tian University are. If the Wan Yuan Fruit doesn’t ripen for another twenty-odd hours, it’s possible for the injuries to heal during that time.

Therefore, it’s best to go when the Wan Yuan Fruit is just ripe. By then, even if people from other factions are already guarding the area, they can be moved along with them.

“Pen Pen,”

Pen Jia Mei called out, indicating that it would be there as soon as the Wan Yuan Fruit ripened.

In its mind, the image of the coordinates was clear; it could see the color on the stem of the Myriad Source Fruit, and it had heard the previous conversation, knowing when the Myriad Source Fruit was ripe.

“When you go over, if there are other people and pets around, move them all together,” Michaela instructed.

“PenPen,”

Penjamei called out, indicating she understood.

Teacher, Mimi… Josang looked at Teacher Michaela, then at Penjamei, thinking that with them around, she felt a strong sense of security.

Just then, Penjamei’s expression suddenly turned serious, and she called out,

“PenPen.”

It’s ripe.

After saying that, blue light flashed in her eyes.

The next second, the group of figures disappeared from their spot.

…

“How boring,” on the towering tree with the Myriad Source Fruit, Miles swung her legs and said, “When will Josang finally come back?”

The Half-Hidden Spirit didn’t speak.

Miles glanced at it.

“Half-Half,”

the Half-Hidden Spirit called out, indicating it was probably waiting for the Myriad Source Fruit to ripen.

Miles glanced up at the Myriad Source Fruit. When she saw the color of the stem, her eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand.

It’s turned white?

She remembered that the peel and stem turning white meant the Myriad Source Fruit was ripe…

Just as Miles’ hand approached the fruit, she suddenly sensed something and turned her head.

Qiao Sang!

Miles’ eyes lit up, and among the figures that had appeared out of thin air, her gaze precisely locked onto Qiao Sang.

She opened her mouth, about to speak.

But before she could utter a single word, everything went black, and she and the semi-hidden spirit beside her vanished from the spot.

…

A riverbank.

Water-type pets kept emerging from the water, spraying water guns at the shore, playing with the various grass-type pets around them.

Suddenly, several figures appeared out of thin air.

The water-type and grass-type pets all looked over, revealing sharp eyes, and assumed fighting stances.

Wu Yuan glanced at them indifferently.

The water-type and grass-type pets immediately showed fear, scrambling into the water, burying their heads in the ground, or fleeing to the side.

Josang’s mentor… Miles looked at the woman in the distance, narrowing her eyes:

“Michaela?”

Michaela looked at her calmly, without speaking.

The eyes of the woman beside her, Penjami, glowed blue.

Immediately afterward, a semi-transparent barrier enveloped Miles and the semi-hidden spirit.

Miles glanced at the barrier, not panicking, but instead smiling:

“You moved me here so Josang could successfully obtain the Myriad Source Fruit?”

Michaela calmly said:

“You’ll stay inside for a while. Once my student successfully gets her pet to eat the Myriad Source Fruit, I’ll naturally release you.”

Miles chuckled:

“You think moving me here will make it easier for her to get the Myriad Source Fruit?”

Michaela’s heart sank upon hearing this.

At the same time, Penjami seemed to sense something, her eyes flashing blue.

Immediately afterward, the semi-hidden spirit within the barrier suddenly exploded and vanished.

Miles clicked her tongue, looked at Penjami, and praised with a smile,

“Your pet’s observation skills are quite good.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the barrier surrounding her suddenly turned black at a visible speed, corroding and dissolving.

The rapidly blackening barrier briefly obscured Miles’s figure.

When her figure fully reappeared, on her left and right sides, there were two ghost-type pets of different forms.

Night Knight, Ancient Ghost Ma… Michaela’s gaze swept over them, and she recognized them as Miles’s two Emperor-level pets besides the semi-hidden spirit.

Although the Interstellar Beast Taming Tournament hadn’t officially started yet, she had already glanced at all the contestants’ information. As one of the most watched contestants, Miles naturally remembered her information, especially since Miles had participated in the previous Interstellar Cup.

“I’m not playing with you anymore,”

Miles said, turning and jumping.

Just as she leaped into the air, a purple Ghost-type bird-like pet appeared out of nowhere and caught her safely.

Then, the purple Ghost-type bird-like pet’s wings flashed, and it soared into the sky.

“Stop her,” Michaela said.

Penjame’s eyes glowed blue as she looked at the two figures flying into the sky.

The instant she looked up, Ancient Ghostma blocked her path, cutting off her vision.

Immediately afterward, a chilling darkness rapidly spread, staining everything in its path black.

Ghost Lockdown, a high-level Ghost-type skill, creates a barrier. Within the barrier, Ghost-type energy is amplified, and the inflow of external energy is cut off. Any opponent within the barrier attempting to leave using any movement-type skill will be blocked.

Penjame’s vision was completely black, but she remained calm; only the blue light in her eyes suddenly intensified.

The next moment, with a “crack,” cracks appeared in the surrounding darkness, and light pierced through the cracks.

Then, the darkness shattered like a broken mirror.

In the light, a black beam of light shot from the Night Rider’s mouth towards Michaela.

Michaela remained calm.

Above her, a barrier suddenly unfolded, blocking the terrifying black beam with a loud “bang.”

Outside the barrier, Penjami looked up at the Night Rider and Ancient Ghost Ma, who were also looking over.

High in the sky, Miles glanced at the direction of the explosion.

Suddenly, her ghost-type bird pet braked sharply.

Miles turned around and saw a pet that was mostly dark green with two sharp, poisonous thorns on its back.

“Wuwu.”

Wuwu looked over with a disdainful gaze and called out.

Didn’t my Beastmaster say you’d be staying here for a while?

…

At the same time,

on the towering tree bearing the Myriad Source Fruit, Qiao Sang and Little Treasure appeared out of thin air. “

I never expected obtaining the Myriad Source Fruit to be so easy; it’s all thanks to Teacher Michaela…” Qiao Sang thought to himself, reaching out towards the fruit.

Suddenly, countless dark shadows emerged from the tree, twisting and turning in all directions, like countless eerie tentacles, frantically and violently coiling around it.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure cried out.

Qiao Sang’s pupils contracted sharply. He quickened his pace, plucking the Myriad Source Fruit and throwing it precisely towards Steel Treasure in the air:

“Eat it!”

Steel Treasure flapped its wings, trying to reach the fruit.

But just then, it suddenly found itself unable to move.

Steel Treasure looked down and saw that the wings of the shadow on the ground weren’t flapping with its movements.

The instant Steel Treasure looked down, Qiao Sang, Little Treasure, and Xia Bao vanished from the tree and reappeared in mid-air.

Countless dark shadows missed their target on the tree.

In the air, the Myriad Source Fruit was still flying upwards in an arc towards Steel Treasure.

Suddenly, the Myriad Source Fruit seemed to be controlled by something, freezing in mid-air.

This was the ability of the Half-Hidden Spirit! The Half-Hidden Spirit was still here! Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly made a judgment, shouting:

“Freeze! Move!”

“Bing Luo.”

Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack.

The cold air suddenly dropped.

Everything around them crackled and froze into a thick layer of ice, except for Qiao Sang and the group of figures and the Myriad Source Fruit.

“Xun Xun~”

At the same time, Little Xun Bao’s eyes glowed blue.

The Myriad Source Fruit was still frozen in the air, unable to move.

Was it still being controlled by Shadow Binding? Where was the Half-Hidden Spirit! Didn’t Lu Bao freeze it?

A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind. She quickly focused her mind and shouted:

“Pierce!”

The blue light in Little Xun Bao’s eyes turned purple, and it stretched out its claws, reaching into the black hole that had appeared out of thin air in front of it.

Another black hole of the same size appeared beside the Myriad Source Fruit. A

short, extremely black claw extended from it.

Steel Power.

Steel Treasure frowned.

It was still under control; the hidden creature hadn’t been frozen.

Qiao Sang sensed this in sync, her heart tightening, but she wasn’t particularly surprised and didn’t make a sound.

She had guessed this possibility since the Myriad Source Fruit hadn’t been moved by Little Treasure’s mental power.

If she made a sound, given Little Treasure’s timidity, its claw might retract instantly. The most important thing now was to get the Myriad Source Fruit!

Just then, an even larger black hole appeared out of thin air below the Myriad Source Fruit.

The Myriad Source Fruit was no longer frozen and began to fall.

“Quick!”

Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted as she shouted.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure cried out.

Its claws couldn’t move!

The short black claws extending from the black hole, no matter how much Little Treasure struggled, couldn’t move forward an inch.

Little Treasure was also under control! Frozen! “Yes, let Lu Bao freeze the Myriad Source Fruit in mid-air! Although we don’t know if freezing it will damage the Myriad Source Fruit, it’s the only way now!” In 0.01 seconds, the thought flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind,

and she was about to speak when a crimson light flashed in the air .

The Myriad Source Fruit vanished.
