    Chapter 264

    A black-and-yellow blur flashed across the battlefield.

    The cheetah shot forward like a bolt of lightning, closing the distance before anyone could react. Its jaws clamped around the neck of a massive venomous python.

    Crunch!

    The python's skull was crushed instantly.

    Its enormous body convulsed once before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.

    The poisonous mist gathering in its throat dispersed harmlessly into the air.

    The venomous python possessed devastating area-of-effect poison and was one of the woman's greatest offensive threats.

    It had also been the man's first target from the very beginning.


    ---

    The woman's expression twitched for only an instant.

    She immediately recovered.

    "Hidden Crocodile!"

    The invisible crocodile lurking beside her burst forward with its jaws wide open, lunging toward the cheetah.

    But the man had anticipated the counterattack.

    The instant the cheetah completed its kill, it sprang backward, disappearing behind the enormous Rampaging Bear before the crocodile could reach it.

    The attack failed.


    ---

    Almost simultaneously...

    A Long-Clawed Hopper suddenly leapt from atop the war elephant's head.

    It shot through the air toward a spotted tiger.

    Its razor-sharp claws reached straight for the tiger's throat.

    The woman had been watching that little beast the entire time.

    "Slash!"

    The spotted tiger swung both forepaws sideways.

    Its claws sliced through the air.

    Had the Long-Clawed Hopper continued forward...

    It would have been cut into several pieces.

    But the mouse never intended to attack.

    It simply bounced backward the instant before contact.

    It had merely been bait.


    ---

    "Charge!"

    A deafening roar erupted.

    The Horned Cone Bull burst out from the tiger's blind spot.

    There was no time to dodge.

    The enormous horn pierced straight through the spotted tiger's chest.

    Blood sprayed into the air.

    Without slowing down, the Cone Bull raised its head violently.

    The tiger's body flew dozens of meters into the sky.

    Waiting above...

    An Iron-Toothed Bird folded its wings.

    Like a falling blade, it dived from the sky.

    Its steel-like wings flashed.

    Slash!

    The tiger's throat was cleanly severed.

    Its corpse crashed heavily onto the arena floor.


    ---

    The woman's pupils shrank.

    This is bad...

    The battle had only just begun.

    She had already lost two of her strongest summoned beasts.

    The numerical advantage she had enjoyed vanished instantly.

    Now both sides possessed thirteen summoned beasts.

    The battlefield had returned to equality.

    No...

    It was even worse than that.

    Losing two core combatants at the very start threw her entire rhythm into chaos.

    Her remaining summoned beasts began attacking without coordination.

    Orders overlapped.

    Positions became disorganized.

    The battle formation collapsed.


    ---

    Two words slowly surfaced in her mind.

    It's over.

    The thought spread like poison.

    Her confidence disappeared.

    Even before the battle truly reached its climax...

    She had already lost the will to fight.

    Moments later, after another two summoned beasts fell...

    She pressed the surrender button.


    ---

    "The winner!"

    "Contestant Number 13257!"

    The stadium exploded with applause.

    The victorious summoner smiled in satisfaction.

    The four slain summoned beasts left behind by his opponent became breakfast for his own beasts.

    This was one of the rewards of victory.


    ---

    Watching quietly from the waiting area, Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "So..."

    "The summoner is more important than the summoned beasts."

    No matter how powerful the summoned beasts were...

    If the summoner lacked the ability to command them properly...

    Even an entire army of S-rank beasts might still lose.


    ---

    The following matches proceeded at a brisk pace.

    Each battle lasted roughly five minutes.

    Most contestants surrendered as soon as they recognized defeat.

    Very few stubbornly fought until every summoned beast had died.

    After watching more than ten consecutive matches...

    Finally...

    The announcer called his number.


    ---

    "Next match!"

    "Contestant Number 13661!"

    "Versus Contestant Number 13437!"

    "Please enter the arena!"

    Su Hao stood up calmly.

    His opponent was a bearded man in his thirties.


    ---

    The moment Su Hao walked onto the platform...

    The spectators suddenly noticed something.

    "...A child?"

    The arena instantly erupted into discussion.

    The host seized the opportunity.

    "Our next contestant is the youngest participant in this year's tournament!"

    "Can Contestant 13661 create a miracle?"

    "Let's find out!"

    "The match..."

    "BEGIN!"


    ---

    As soon as the announcement ended...

    Su Hao summoned all ten of his summoned beasts.

    One after another...

    His beautiful, elegant beasts appeared on the battlefield.

    The audience couldn't help cheering.

    They had never seen such attractive summoned beasts before.

    Unfortunately...

    Most people still weren't optimistic.

    Aside from the enormous muscular rabbit and the gigantic Snow Wolf...

    The remaining summoned beasts looked relatively small.


    ---

    Across the arena...

    The bearded man's twelve summoned beasts looked completely different.

    Each one was huge.

    Ferocious.

    Covered with thick muscles or armor.

    Their sheer size alone gave them tremendous intimidation.

    He also possessed two more summoned beasts than Su Hao.

    To most spectators...

    The outcome already seemed obvious.


    ---

    The bearded man thought exactly the same.

    Seeing Su Hao's lineup, he relaxed completely.

    I've won.

    He had participated in last year's tournament.

    Back then...

    He had achieved four consecutive victories and narrowly missed qualifying for the next round.

    He possessed abundant combat experience.

    Controlling twelve summoned beasts simultaneously felt as natural as breathing.

    Facing a child barely ten years old...

    Victory couldn't be easier.


    ---

    I don't recognize these summoned beasts...

    Doesn't matter.

    One wave.

    Destroy all of them at once.


    ---

    The summoned beasts from both sides charged forward.

    Neither side bothered testing the waters.

    Everyone wanted to overwhelm the opponent immediately.

    More than twenty summoned beasts rushed toward one another like two raging torrents.

    The spectators jumped to their feet.

    This was exactly the kind of battle they loved.

    Fast.

    Explosive.

    Decisive.


    ---

    Yet...

    The collision everyone expected...

    Never happened.

    Instead—

    Slash!

    Slash!

    Slash!

    A series of sharp cutting sounds echoed across the arena.

    The bearded man's summoned beasts suddenly stumbled.

    One after another...

    Their legs detached from their bodies.

    Massive beasts crashed heavily onto the ground.

    Dust billowed everywhere.

    Severed limbs flew through the air.

    The battlefield instantly descended into chaos.


    ---

    The culprit...

    Was the Control King.

    The Golden Long-Haired Monkey had quietly spread nearly invisible razor threads across the battlefield.

    As the charging beasts rushed forward...

    They unknowingly passed straight through the web.

    Every limb was sliced cleanly apart.


    ---

    Before anyone recovered...

    Another attack followed.

    The Sky King Colorful Phoenix shot into the sky.

    Its speed was so great that only afterimages remained.

    In an instant...

    It arrived beside the opponent's prized A-rank Long-Feathered Giant Bird.

    The bird hadn't even begun to react.

    The phoenix's claws flashed.

    Rip!

    Both wings were severed simultaneously.

    The giant bird spiraled helplessly from the sky.


    ---

    At the same time...

    The Shadow King White Fox dissolved into drifting mist.

    A thick white fog engulfed the battlefield.

    Every remaining summoned beast lost all sense of direction.

    Visibility vanished completely.


    ---

    Then...

    The Speed Demon Guinea Pig disappeared.

    One moment it stood beside Su Hao.

    The next...

    It had entered the fog.

    What followed...

    Was a massacre.


    ---

    Slash!

    Slash!

    Slash!

    The sound of flesh being torn echoed continuously.

    Blood splattered.

    Chunks of flesh flew.

    Severed limbs scattered through the dense mist.

    No one could see what was happening inside.

    They could only hear...

    One miserable scream after another.


    ---

    The bearded man's eyes turned bloodshot.

    "What happened?!"

    "What happened?!"

    Through his mental connection...

    He watched one summoned beast after another disappear forever.

    The links shattered in rapid succession.

    For the first time...

    He panicked.

    Without another thought...

    He slammed the surrender button.

    "I surrender!"

    "I surrender!"


    ---

    Only then did Su Hao stop.

    The mist dispersed.

    His summoned beasts withdrew.

    Five battered summoned beasts remained alive on the opposite side.

    Everything else...

    Had become corpses.


    ---

    The bearded man gripped the railing with both hands.

    His knuckles turned white.

    He couldn't understand it.

    Everything had pointed toward certain victory.

    Yet...

    Before either side had even exchanged a proper round of attacks...

    He had been utterly defeated.

    He slowly recalled his surviving summoned beasts.

    His face remained blank.

    "Did..."

    "I make a mistake commanding them?"

    "Or..."

    "Where exactly did everything go wrong?"


    ---

    Su Hao calmly recalled his own summoned beasts.

    A faint smile appeared on his face.

    "The demonstration is over."

    "From now on..."

    "I should start attracting attention."

    He turned and quietly left the arena.


    ---

    The moment he disappeared from the battlefield...

    The stadium exploded.

    Everyone was discussing the unbelievable match they had just witnessed.

    The host repeatedly shouted words like "incredible," "unbelievable," and "unprecedented."

    Broadcast stations across the world immediately switched their featured coverage to Arena Thirteen.

    The battle replayed over and over in slow motion.

    Viewers everywhere stared at their televisions in disbelief.

    No one had expected that the summoned beasts belonging to a ten-year-old child...

    Would possess such terrifying combat power.

    Within only a few short minutes...

    An enormous number of people remembered a single contestant number.

    13661.

    And they remembered...

    The small boy standing calmly behind ten beautiful summoned beasts.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    In the audience...

    The members of Morning Sun Courtyard sat frozen.

    They had lived alongside Bai Jingzhong for years.

    Yet none of them had realized...

    He was this frighteningly powerful.

    Xiaotian swallowed hard.

    "He's..."

    "He's ridiculously strong..."

    Sister Bai silently glanced at the three summoned beasts Su Hao had given her.

    She couldn't help sighing inwardly.

    He wanted to give me more...

    Unfortunately...

    I can only control three.


    ---

    Beside them, Yashan folded his arms with complete disdain.

    "This?"

    "You call this strong?"

    "You've never seen Boss Wei fight seriously."

    "What you just watched..."

    "Isn't even one percent of his real strength."

    He curled his lips and added with the newest slang he had recently learned,

    "Hillbillies."
