    Chapter 279

    Even while Su Hao slept, his Radar continued operating without interruption.

    Its vigilance had long since been entrusted to Little Light. Whenever an abnormal situation arose, Little Light would immediately activate the wake-up protocol and rouse Su Hao from his sleep.

    Back when he still lived in crowded urban districts and Yashan wasn't nearby to stand guard, Su Hao never dared sleep too deeply.

    There were simply too many people moving about.

    Even Little Light couldn't always determine what counted as an actual threat.

    But things were different here.

    This villa stood in the quiet southern suburbs, with very few people passing by.

    The moment anyone entered the surrounding area, Little Light would detect them immediately.

    Because of that, Su Hao slept soundly.

    He slept all the way until noon the following day.

    Only then did he finally wake up, thoroughly refreshed.


    ---

    After getting up, Su Hao first entered the Marble Space and organized everything that had happened over the past several days.

    Once that was finished, he summoned the three Mimic Humans to check on their condition.

    All three summoned beasts were energetic and healthy.

    It was obvious they had adapted well during this period.

    More importantly...

    They had all successfully completed their second evolutionary stage.

    They were now ready to advance into the second-stage Transformer.

    "At least one of these three should have a very high chance of evolving into a Genesis Sovereign."

    Without extensive data on the summoned beasts of this world, selecting suitable evolutionary pathways toward a sixth-rank exotic beast was extremely difficult.

    If even one stage failed midway...

    The entire process had to begin again from scratch.

    After recording the latest genetic information from all three summoned beasts, Su Hao returned them to the Secondary Star.

    He immediately entered the Marble Space once more and began designing the genetic structure of the second-stage Transformer.

    At the same time, his body started cultivating the required genetic modification serum.


    ---

    Once the cultivation process had begun, Su Hao returned to studying the technologies Chen Qingsheng had recently provided.

    Among them, biological implantation technology and biological enhancement technology interested him the most.

    These technologies were completely different from the bloodline evolution system he had developed himself.

    Instead of modifying bloodlines...

    This world's researchers preferred directly altering biological structures.

    Although the approaches differed, they still provided Su Hao with considerable inspiration.

    Unfortunately...

    The technical terminology used throughout the documents was entirely unfamiliar.

    To properly understand them, he first had to study the underlying theoretical system.

    Only then could he fully grasp the actual technologies.

    Judging by the workload...

    Even with the learning ability of a former Prophet, mastering everything before obtaining the Management Bureau's core technologies would still require several years.


    ---

    The following day, Su Hao summoned the three Mimic Humans once again.

    He injected each of them with the newly cultivated genetic modification serum.

    The transformation process officially began.

    Nearly five hours later...

    All three successfully evolved into second-stage Transformers.

    After confirming there were no abnormalities, Su Hao recorded their latest genetic data before sending them back to the Secondary Star once again.

    Based on his estimates...

    Their next evolution should be possible roughly one month later.

    Having finished everything, Su Hao once again immersed himself completely in study.


    ---

    To his surprise...

    The next five days passed peacefully.

    No one came looking for him.

    Whether people feared offending the astonishingly powerful young Advanced Summoner...

    Or simply considered it pointless to continue investing resources against someone who refused to die...

    Or perhaps they were merely waiting for another opportunity...

    Su Hao neither knew nor cared.

    The evening before the championship match...

    A meeting quietly took place on the rooftop of a skyscraper in southern Shengshi City.

    Ten people sat around a circular conference table.

    Among them was Chen Chufeng, the same middle-aged man who had previously presented the PowerPoint.

    Although he looked completely ordinary, he possessed exceptional strategic vision and organizational ability.

    Over the years, he had managed the Management Bureau steadily, earning the trust of the Ten Great Families.

    Besides representatives from each family...

    Another person attended today's meeting.

    Hua Shaosun.

    Tomorrow's opponent.


    ---

    The meeting revolved entirely around the upcoming championship match.

    Chen Chufeng stood before the projector.

    "Our discussion today isn't really about victory or defeat."

    "It's about our objective."

    He changed the slide.

    "Our goal is very simple."

    "Force Bai Jingzhong to reveal the true limits of all ten of his summoned beasts."

    "Winning the championship..."

    "Is only secondary."

    The moment those words were spoken...

    Hua Shaosun's expression visibly darkened.

    Naturally...

    No competitor wanted to hear that victory itself wasn't considered important.

    Chen Chufeng noticed his reaction.

    He smiled calmly.

    "Hua Shaosun."

    "If you can defeat Bai Jingzhong..."

    "You'll naturally become champion."

    "That honor will belong entirely to you."

    Only then did Hua Shaosun's expression soften slightly.

    Chen Chufeng continued.

    "If we wish to force Bai Jingzhong to expose every trump card he possesses..."

    "Ordinary S-rank summoned beasts won't be enough."

    "Everyone has already witnessed that."

    "They simply cannot pressure him."

    He paused deliberately before revealing his proposal.

    "My suggestion..."

    "Is to temporarily assign Hua Shaosun no fewer than five Super Summoned Beasts."

    Silence instantly filled the room.

    Everyone stared at him.

    Even Hua Shaosun froze.

    Then...

    His breathing became rapid.

    Super Summoned Beasts.

    Possessing even one was enough to elevate an Advanced Summoner into the ranks of the world's elite.

    Officially recognized World-Class Summoners numbered fewer than one hundred across the entire world.

    Yet now...

    Chen Chufeng proposed lending him five.

    Any trace of dissatisfaction Hua Shaosun had toward Chen Chufeng vanished immediately.

    Only gratitude remained.

    Chen Chufeng calmly continued,

    "Naturally..."

    "Those summoned beasts must be returned after the competition."

    "However..."

    "If Hua Shaosun wins..."

    "He may permanently keep one of them."

    "In addition..."

    "The champion's reward is also a Super Summoned Beast."

    "That means..."

    "He'll leave the tournament owning two."

    The championship prize had always been the Titan Behemoth.

    Although it ranked among the weaker Super Summoned Beasts...

    For ordinary Advanced Summoners...

    It remained an irresistible treasure.

    After laying out every advantage and disadvantage, Chen Chufeng spoke once more.

    "Our objective has already been established."

    "Now..."

    "Let's vote."

    Six votes supported the proposal.

    Four opposed it.

    The motion passed.

    Hua Shaosun would temporarily command five Super Summoned Beasts during tomorrow's championship.

    At that moment...

    Confidence overflowed from him.

    Tomorrow...

    Victory already belonged to him.

    After tomorrow...

    He would officially become a World-Class Summoner.

    He slowly smiled.

    "Bai Jingzhong..."

    "Heh..."


    ---

    Early the following morning...

    The Shengshi Arena was packed beyond capacity.

    Countless cameras floated above the battlefield.

    Three hot-air balloons hovered high overhead.

    Two helicopters circled continuously above the stadium.

    Every corner of the world was watching this match live.

    It marked not only the final battle of this year's World Summoner All-Star Championship...

    But also the grand finale of the entire summer.

    Today...

    The champion would finally be decided.


    ---

    Su Hao walked calmly into the arena.

    He wore nothing more than a simple shirt.

    His hands rested casually inside his pockets.

    Amid deafening cheers...

    He slowly stepped onto the summoner's platform.

    With a wave of his hand...

    All ten summoned beasts appeared one after another before him.

    The stadium instantly exploded with excitement.

    On the opposite side...

    Hua Shaosun, dressed in a black long coat over a short-sleeved outfit, slowly stepped onto his own platform.

    His expression remained cold.

    He raised one hand.

    One summoned beast after another emerged from the Secondary Star.

    By the time the summoning ended...

    Twenty-five summoned beasts stood before him.

    The sheer number stunned the audience.

    Then...

    Su Hao noticed Hua Shaosun calmly remove a strange monocular device and place it over one eye.

    "...A thermal imager."

    So that was their solution.

    The Speed Demon's invisibility would no longer be completely effective.

    Apparently...

    The tournament officials saw nothing wrong with using advanced equipment.

    As far as they were concerned...

    That too was part of a summoner's strength.

    Su Hao paid little attention to it.

    Instead...

    His gaze settled on five unfamiliar summoned beasts standing among Hua Shaosun's lineup.

    He had never seen them before.

    Nor had they appeared in any of the records Chen Qingsheng had previously provided.

    As Hua Shaosun's twenty-five summoned beasts lined up across the battlefield...

    The atmosphere inside the stadium reached its peak.

    Su Hao quietly murmured,

    "So..."

    "These are Super Summoned Beasts."

    "Their presence alone is on an entirely different level."

    This entire tourney is stupid. Take out a nuclear missile and say surrender or die.

      On the bright side, i think the tourney make some sense. If they are in constant war with beasts, possessing an ability to analyze and seek counter measure through external objects is also needed. But agreed, a tourney about summoner vs summoner should not allow external objects
