    Chapter 273

    Over the next three matches, Su Hao's opponents tried every strategy they could think of.

    Some focused on ambushes.

    Some attempted to isolate individual summoned beasts.

    Others relied on overwhelming numbers or carefully coordinated formations.

    None of it worked.

    No matter what tactics they employed, they simply couldn't defeat Su Hao's summoned beasts.

    Without any real difficulty, Su Hao secured victory in all three battles and advanced smoothly into the Top Sixteen.

    By now, every participating summoner had reached the same conclusion.

    Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts were practically impossible to kill.

    In one battle, an opponent successfully used a feint to lure away the Slaughter King Egg-Stealing Dragon.

    Their Big-Mouth Beast seized the opportunity, lunged forward, and bit its head clean off.

    The audience erupted.

    The summoner thought he had finally eliminated one of Bai Jingzhong's terrifying summoned beasts.

    Then...

    The severed dragon head lying on the ground blinked its eyes...

    Turned toward the Big-Mouth Beast...

    And curiously stared at the creature that had just bitten it off.

    The entire arena fell silent.

    Even the opponent froze.

    Apparently...

    Decapitation wasn't enough.

    In another match, an opponent successfully ambushed the Destruction King Snow Wolf.

    Their Big-Mouth Beast clamped its jaws around the Snow Wolf's neck with all its strength.

    Everyone expected to hear bones shatter.

    Instead...

    The wolf's neck compressed like rubber.

    No matter how hard the beast bit...

    It simply couldn't bite through.

    After witnessing scene after scene like these, everyone gradually became numb.

    When the second round concluded, the tournament entered its publicity period.

    The newly crowned Top Sixteen immediately became the hottest topic across the world.

    Television stations, newspapers and online forums were flooded with discussions.

    Not long afterward, the official Championship Favorites Ranking was released.

    Bai Jingzhong ranked...

    Third.

    Seeing the rankings, Yashan immediately snorted.

    "What a garbage ranking."

    "A bunch of short-sighted idiots."

    "They've watched Boss Jingzhong fight this many matches and still can't tell who's going to become champion?"

    "What a garbage ranking."

    Unable to hold himself back, he opened an online forum and began arguing fiercely with countless netizens.

    His fingers flew across the keyboard.

    Unfortunately...

    One person simply couldn't out-argue hundreds of people.

    Before long, Yashan suffered a crushing defeat.

    He immediately picked up his newly purchased phone and called his programming instructor.

    "Hello, Teacher?"

    "It's me, Bai Jingyi."

    "Can you teach me how to write a program that argues with people online?"

    There were still six days before the Top Sixteen officially began.

    From sixteen competitors...

    Only four would remain.

    Those four would then compete in the final championship round.

    Unlike the previous stages, the Top Sixteen no longer relied on random matchmaking.

    Once the second round concluded, every matchup was announced in advance.

    Each summoner now knew exactly who their next opponent would be.

    That gave everyone several days to gather information, study battle footage, develop countermeasures and create targeted tactics.

    The audience loved this format.

    Knowing future matchups allowed discussions to become even more heated.

    Clearly, the tournament organizers had put considerable thought into increasing excitement.

    Su Hao also received his next opponent.

    Summoner No. 08158.

    Mo Zongliang.

    Seeing the name, Su Hao remained completely calm.

    At this point, his original objective had essentially been accomplished.

    All that remained was to continue winning until the very end.

    The championship...

    Was already within reach.


    ---

    That evening, just before sleeping, Su Hao suddenly asked,

    "Yashan, why have Sister Bai and the others been going to the western district every day recently?"

    Yashan looked up from his computer.

    "Boss Jingzhong, do you remember Molly?"

    "The girl who came to our beauty salon before."

    "She lives in Shengshi City."

    "Sister Bai and everyone have been visiting her lately."

    He paused before adding,

    "Oh, and Hu Sheng follows them every single time."

    "I think he's interested in Molly."

    Su Hao immediately felt speechless.

    Wherever there was a pretty girl...

    Hu Sheng was guaranteed to appear.

    Yashan continued,

    "Molly has an older brother named Mo Zongliang."

    "He seemed pretty hostile."

    "He kept asking where Sister Bai and everyone came from."

    "He even said things like, 'Lilith never had friends before. Are you after our family's money?'"

    "He looked like he had some mental issues."

    "So..."

    "I beat him up twice."

    "After that, his attitude improved a lot."

    "There shouldn't be any more problems."

    Su Hao blinked.

    "You beat up his summoned beasts too?"

    Yashan scratched his head awkwardly.

    "He was being disrespectful to Sister Bai and Xiaotian."

    "He even tried getting physical."

    "I lost my temper for a moment."

    "Don't worry, Boss."

    "It happened inside their estate."

    "No outsiders saw anything."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Fine."

    "Just keep watching over Sister Bai."

    "If anything dangerous happens..."

    "You have my permission."

    "Bury him first."

    "Then take Sister Bai and everyone away."

    Yashan immediately nodded seriously.

    "Understood, Boss Jingzhong."


    ---

    At the same time...

    Representatives from every major family within the Summoned Beast Management Bureau had gathered inside a secluded villa on the outskirts of Shengshi City.

    A report concerning Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts had been placed before every attendee.

    Standing before the projector, a middle-aged researcher began presenting.

    "Our current investigation has produced three preliminary conclusions."

    "The first is that these summoned beasts possess physical abilities far beyond ordinary summoned beasts."

    "The second is that they violate many known biological characteristics."

    "The third is that every one of them possesses clear skill progression similar to high-level summoned beasts."

    "And..."

    "They all evolved from ordinary base species."

    After the presentation ended, a refined woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses immediately asked,

    "So..."

    "What exactly is their research value?"

    Several others nodded.

    They had the same question.

    The presenter smiled.

    Instead of answering directly, he switched the screen.

    The first video appeared.

    It showed Su Hao and Yashan effortlessly defeating seven men armed with electric batons.

    The second video followed.

    This one showed Yashan beating Mo Zongliang...

    Along with every one of his summoned beasts.

    The conference room instantly fell silent.

    Every attendee widened their eyes.

    Humans...

    Actually defeating summoned beasts with their bare hands?

    The presenter wasn't surprised by their reaction.

    He had worn the exact same expression when he first watched those videos.

    Only after everyone had recovered did he continue.

    "We therefore have reason to believe..."

    "Bai Jingzhong himself possesses combat power comparable to summoned beasts."

    "And remember..."

    "Both of these children are only ten years old."

    "That is the truly unbelievable part."

    He paused briefly before asking,

    "So where does this power come from?"

    "How were these ordinary summoned beasts transformed into what they are today?"

    His gaze swept across the room.

    "There is only one reasonable explanation."

    "Either Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi have mastered an extremely advanced biotechnology..."

    "Or..."

    "The people standing behind them have."

    The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses asked,

    "So what's your proposal?"

    The presenter smiled.

    "The same strategy we've always used."

    "Mutual benefit."

    "Bai Jingzhong has repeatedly shown interest in advanced technologies."

    "So we'll continue trading."

    "We exchange technology."

    "He provides summoned beasts."

    "Step by step..."

    "We uncover his secrets."

    A round-faced representative chuckled.

    "As long as we don't trade our Management Bureau's core technology, everything else is negotiable."

    The presenter nodded.

    "Exactly."

    "Our spatial management technology is our foundation."

    "Nothing else is irreplaceable."

    "If exchanging those lesser technologies allows us to obtain biotechnology capable of strengthening both humans and summoned beasts..."

    "It will be an extraordinary profit."

    A bearded representative suddenly frowned.

    "Shouldn't we strengthen our cooperation?"

    "What if the Summoner Association recruits him first?"

    "Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

    The presenter smiled confidently.

    "You don't need to worry about that."

    "There is already a serious conflict between Bai Jingzhong and the Summoner Association."

    He slowly continued,

    "Ten days ago..."

    "Senator Pan attempted to assassinate Bai Jingzhong with a sniper."

    Everyone's expressions immediately changed.

    They instinctively connected that incident...

    With Senator Pan's mysterious death on the very same day.

    The presenter took a sip of water before speaking again.

    "I'm not saying Bai Jingzhong killed him."

    "There is no evidence."

    "But..."

    "The Zhiniao Sniper Team disappeared."

    "Senator Pan was later found shot dead inside his own office."

    "And Bai Jingzhong..."

    "Remains perfectly healthy while continuing to compete."

    He smiled faintly.

    "When analyzing events..."

    "Follow the timeline."

    "Be bold with your assumptions."

    "Ignore whether something seems impossible."

    "Sometimes..."

    "The truth is hidden inside the most unbelievable answer."

    Everyone exchanged meaningful glances.

    Although they were shocked...

    No one argued.

    Finally, the presenter spoke once more.

    "I therefore propose allocating ten percent of our reserve research resources toward expanding cooperation with Bai Jingzhong and studying his new summoned beasts."

    "Let's vote."

    Ten hands were raised.

    None opposed.

    The proposal passed unanimously.

    Rare to see people applying their heads, well written.
