    Chapter 274

    Before long, people from the Summoned Beast Management Bureau came looking for Su Hao again.

    This time, they arrived carrying all kinds of expensive gifts.

    One person even placed an entire bunch of keys into Su Hao's hand.

    "Mr. Bai Jingzhong, this is a villa in the western district of Shengshi City. The ownership has already been transferred to your name."

    Smiling warmly, he continued,

    "This is simply a token of friendship."

    "Your future is limitless, and we'd like to make friends in advance."

    "There are absolutely no strings attached."

    "We expect nothing in return."

    Su Hao almost believed him.

    He politely declined all of those material gifts.

    Seeing this, the other party immediately changed tactics.

    Instead of luxury items, they produced several thick stacks of technical documents.

    "We know Mr. Bai enjoys researching advanced technologies."

    "So we've specially gathered these materials for you."

    "Please accept them."

    "Knowledge exists to be shared."

    "If these can help you even a little, that will already make us very happy."

    The difference between the Summoned Beast Management Bureau and the Summoner Association was immediately obvious.

    Both wanted the same thing.

    But the way they approached people...

    Was worlds apart.

    This time, Su Hao accepted everything without hesitation.

    After all...

    Both sides clearly understood the situation.

    Each was simply taking what they wanted.


    ---

    Over the following days, Su Hao carefully studied every technology the Management Bureau had sent him.

    Among them, the field that interested him the most...

    Was biotechnology.

    People in this world had chosen an entirely different path from his own.

    Their research focused on the physical structure of living organisms.

    By analyzing the organs, tissues and body composition of summoned beasts, they could directly reconstruct and reproduce many of their abilities.

    Su Hao, however, had always worked from genetics.

    He modified genes...

    Which altered body structure...

    Which ultimately produced new abilities.

    The people of this world did the opposite.

    They first analyzed existing abilities...

    Then dismantled the biological structures responsible for those abilities...

    Before finally reassembling them.

    In simple terms...

    Su Hao transformed genes to create new biological structures.

    This world...

    Disassembled existing biological structures to reproduce abilities.

    And that happened to be the very area where Su Hao lacked experience.

    Besides biotechnology...

    He also discovered an entirely different theoretical framework for information science.

    After reading through it carefully...

    Cold sweat gradually appeared on his back.

    His Marble Space "black room" had always been built upon the information theories from his previous worlds.

    He had once believed it was nearly flawless.

    But viewed through this world's technological framework...

    Several hidden vulnerabilities immediately became obvious.

    That realization instantly put Su Hao on alert.

    Sometimes...

    A problem that appeared impossible to solve from one perspective became surprisingly simple when viewed from another.

    "My black room..."

    "It's still far from being truly secure."

    Without wasting another moment, Su Hao immediately began studying this world's information theories in depth.

    Over the following days, he continuously reinforced and upgraded his black room, patching every loophole he could find.


    ---

    Six days passed in the blink of an eye.

    It was finally time for the Top Sixteen match.

    Su Hao's opponent...

    Mo Zongliang.

    As Mo Zongliang stepped onto the Summoner Platform, thick dark circles hung beneath his eyes.

    He looked exactly like someone who had worked overtime every day for an entire month.

    Seeing him, Su Hao couldn't help sighing inwardly.

    He really worked hard preparing for this battle.

    If Mo Zongliang could hear those thoughts...

    He would probably explode with anger.

    Prepared?

    Prepared my foot!

    Ever since Yashan had beaten both him and every one of his summoned beasts...

    His confidence had completely shattered.

    Standing across from the ten-year-old boy before him...

    His mentality gradually collapsed.

    Are all children this terrifying nowadays?

    What exactly have these two brothers been eating?

    The problem wasn't that Mo Zongliang lacked talent.

    Yashan had simply beaten him far too thoroughly.

    Once a summoner lost confidence in both himself and his summoned beasts...

    His combat strength naturally plummeted.

    The battle ended quickly.

    Su Hao's summoned beasts overwhelmed the opposition with ease.

    Out of consideration for Molly...

    Su Hao deliberately showed mercy.

    He didn't kill any of Mo Zongliang's summoned beasts.

    Instead...

    He merely gave every one of them a thorough beating.

    Mo Zongliang silently thought,

    ...Thank you very much.


    ---

    With another effortless victory, Su Hao advanced into the Top Four.

    Immediately afterward, the semifinal pairings were announced.

    Some people celebrated.

    Others despaired.

    Unfortunately...

    The middle-aged summoner who drew Bai Jingzhong as his next opponent belonged firmly to the second group.

    The moment he saw the bracket...

    The few remaining strands of hair on his head seemed ready to fall out.

    Several sleepless nights awaited him.

    Ever since Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts appeared, countless experts around the world had worked together to develop strategies against them.

    After numerous simulations...

    They had achieved exactly zero successful solutions.

    The following morning...

    After spending two entire nights failing to produce even a remotely viable battle plan...

    The middle-aged summoner simply announced his surrender.

    He withdrew before the match even began.

    For him...

    Reaching the Top Four was already an acceptable result.

    There was no reason to sacrifice his summoned beasts in a hopeless battle.

    With that victory...

    Public opinion shifted once again.

    More and more people believed Bai Jingzhong was now the favorite to win the championship.

    Of course...

    Others insisted the real challenge would only begin in the finals.

    Regardless...

    Su Hao had officially entered the final round.

    Only four competitors remained.

    They would decide the Champion, Runner-up and Third Place.

    By now...

    Bai Jingzhong's name had become famous across the entire world.

    Even Morning Sun Courtyard benefited enormously.

    Donations poured in from every corner of the globe.

    A charitable foundation even approached Sister Bai, proposing that they jointly establish an orphanage dedicated to abandoned children.

    After giving it serious thought...

    Sister Bai accepted.

    Providing abandoned children with a warm home...

    Had always been her greatest dream.

    There was no reason to refuse.


    ---

    The tournament granted the four finalists another eight days to prepare.

    Early the next morning...

    Chen Qingsheng arrived once more.

    Carrying a briefcase under one arm, he greeted Su Hao with an enormous smile.

    "Congratulations, Mr. Bai."

    "You truly are a young hero."

    "You've become the youngest summoner in history to reach the Top Four."

    "Your name is destined to be remembered."

    "And soon..."

    "You'll become the youngest champion in history as well."

    Su Hao interrupted him directly.

    "If you have something to say, just say it."

    Chen Qingsheng laughed awkwardly.

    "Then I'll get straight to the point."

    "Were you satisfied with the technologies we provided?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Very satisfied."

    Chen Qingsheng's smile immediately widened.

    "In that case..."

    "Would you consider entrusting the rest of your summoned beasts to our Management Bureau as well?"

    "It would save you a lot of trouble."

    Su Hao answered immediately.

    "Sure."

    "I'll send two more over."

    Although it was only two additional summoned beasts...

    Chen Qingsheng looked delighted.

    Afterward, he leaned closer and lowered his voice.

    "Mr. Bai..."

    "Let me tell you something confidential."

    Whenever Chen Qingsheng spoke like this...

    It usually meant valuable insider information.

    Su Hao became interested.

    "What is it?"

    Chen Qingsheng spoke softly.

    "The finals..."

    "Have never been as simple as they appear."

    "If one of the finalists suddenly dies during these eight days..."

    "The World Federation will not investigate."

    "It's an unspoken rule that everyone accepts."

    He stopped there.

    He believed someone as intelligent as Bai Jingzhong would understand the implication.

    After confirming Su Hao had grasped his meaning, Chen Qingsheng continued,

    "Summoner No. 03256..."

    "Hua Shaosun..."

    "Belongs to our Management Bureau."

    "So you don't need to worry about him."

    "But the other two..."

    "That's hard to say."

    Then he smiled again.

    "Of course, this won't affect anyone's families."

    "You can rest assured."

    "I believe you understand what I mean."

    "I won't disturb you any longer."

    "I sincerely hope you win the championship."

    Only now did Su Hao truly understand.

    Reaching the finals was no longer merely a contest between summoners.

    It was a struggle between the forces standing behind them.

    If a summoner couldn't be defeated inside the arena...

    Then eliminate them before they ever stepped onto it.

    For summoners backed by powerful organizations...

    This was simply another advantage.

    But for ordinary civilian summoners...

    Their journey effectively ended the moment they reached the final four.

    After Chen Qingsheng left...

    Su Hao quietly muttered,

    "So that's how it works."

    "That actually makes things much simpler."

    "If you can't win the tournament..."

    "Just eliminate your opponent beforehand."

    He smiled faintly.

    Fortunately...

    He also had someone backing him.

    That person...

    Was himself.
