The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming - Chapter 657

Chapter 657: Chapter 651: Unfixed Gold Mantid

“Can we win?”

Looking at the radiant David Jones on the stage, a Peony College team member asked nervously.

“With me and Martini here, no one can stop Peony College from claiming the tenth consecutive championship!” Rudolf Sherwood said confidently, the brand-new Bond Ring on his finger flickering with a faint glow.

“Remember, don’t mess up the formation. Let Sherwood handle the charge to buy time, while you guys need to combine forces in the shortest time possible.”

Having said that, the Peony College coach turned his head to look at the silent man at the back of the team, who had eyes only for machinery.

“The resources repository of the school has just set up a Desperate Glaze and Heavenly Dragon Gold. Martini, it’s all on you now.”

Hearing this, Rudolf Sherwood looked at the coach with a touch of dissatisfaction.

What does that mean?

In the eyes of the school’s higher-ups, was he not as good as David Jones?

To be fair, David Jones’ talent and strength were indeed overwhelming, so much so that even he himself was not sure of winning.

But it was precisely because of this that he had to include two freshmen who were almost useless and a junior who had never fought in the National Trainer Cooperation Competition, which was practically an insult to the players of Peony College!

Rudolf Sherwood, feeling a fire burning in his heart, had long been eager to prove his strength in front of a national audience.

After all, when the strength levels were close, powerful teammates could become the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

At this moment, hearing that Desperate Glaze and Heavenly Dragon Gold were available, Martini Goldsmith’s eyes lit up.

He didn’t care about the so-called honor of ten consecutive championships. His only goal in this life was to create the Six Directions Mech, the Emperor Mech that had never before appeared in Flowery Kingdom, and to defeat the Saint Ourent Alliance’s Emperor Mech in the Hegemony Race, erasing international rumors and earning recognition for the undervalued mechanics of his country.

“Flesh is weak, machinery eternal, only the mech is the eternal romance of man!”

Murmuring to himself, Martini Goldsmith looked up at the most dazzling beast training talent on the stage.

“Submit before machinery!” Martini Goldsmith adjusted his hat brim with a smile, exuding a youthful arrogance.

“Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to witness is the live scene of the 1028 National Trainer Cooperation Competition finals. The outcome of this defense battle will determine whether Peony College’s team can win an unprecedented tenth consecutive championship…”

Amid the impassioned introduction of the host, the atmosphere in the arena shifted with the music, and a formidable team led by Rudolf Sherwood made their entrance on the other side of the waterfall.

The randomly chosen battlefield was perfectly suited for water-type pets—the waterfall.

“The Bond Ring?”

David Jones raised an eyebrow and quickly noticed the ring that had appeared on Rudolf Sherwood’s finger.

“Preparation time, ten seconds. Please summon your pets in advance,” the referee announced.

“Pierce them through!”

As soon as Rudolf’s voice fell, a deep red summoning rune circle appeared in front of him, and bursts of razor-sharp gold arcane force erupted like a storm.

The next moment, a four-meter-tall mantis with a triangular head, sharp compound eyes, two golden scythes crossed in front, and a corpulent abdomen with silver and black stripes suddenly appeared amidst the roaring water.

David Jones’ Illusion-Piercing Eye activated immediately.

“Pet Name”: Unfixed Gold Mantid

“Pet Type”: Gold type and Space

“Species Level”: Epic Overlord

“Grade”: Class VI middle-level

“Species Skill”: Gold under Knife, Shadow Penetrating Lunge, Sorrowful Strangulation, Traceless Intersection

“Pet Profile”: As a predator of space, the Unfixed Gold Mantid excels in performing unexpected stealth attacks using its Space Type skills.

After every kill, it can absorb a portion of the deceased’s bloodline power with “Gold under Knife,” becoming even stronger, a truly brutal Beast.

“To barely control a Class VI middle-level Unfixed Gold Mantid with Class V apex strength and not fear the backlash from the contract Pet!” David Jones took a deep look at Rudolf Sherwood and summoned Rainbow at the same time.

As soon as Rainbow appeared, it glanced around at the opposite side, and a bit of the casualness in its eyes faded.

The Six-tailed Ice Fox standing at the back, looking at the Unfixed Gold Mantid’s sharp gold knives, instinctively lowered its head.

If it were to fight now with its suppressed strength, it feared it might be split in half with a single strike!

David Jones’ gaze then shifted to the Zodiac Mechs with various colors behind the Unfixed Gold Mantid, namely the Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, and Zodiac Pig Mech Armor.

However, compared to the Zodiac Pig Mech Armor, these Zodiac Mechs only had the Species Level of King, and their Grade was merely at the upper level of Class V.

David Jones narrowed his eyes slightly, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

A complete combination of the original Twelve Zodiac Mechs has a certain chance to evolve into the Six Directions Emperor Mech, so could six fifth-generation experimental Zodiac Mechs also combine into a Mech with higher Level and Strength?

“Roar!”

As expected, before the preparation time had even passed, the six Zodiac Mechs had already lined up, as if they were ready to transform and recombine at any moment.

Behind David Jones, Margaret Yule, Sanne, and Jedbrook Harvey were staring blankly at the powerful Mechs in the distance, their faces filled with shock.

Has Peony Colledge progressed this far in the study of Mechs?

To think that they could now mass-produce King-type Mechs!!!

Seeing this scene, the live streaming chat exploded, the dense barrage of comments almost covering the entire screen.

“Is this the foundation of Peony Colledge? Even the Unfixed Gold Mantid has been trained to Class VI middle-level in such a short time. Add to that a bunch of Class V King Mechs, can David still hold on?”

“Don’t worry, Pets that improve in strength too quickly will have many drawbacks. Pay attention to the flash of black light in the Unfixed Gold Mantid’s compound eyes. That’s a sign of a surge in internal power and imperfect control of Arcane Force. If it uses GenieTransformation in combat, it will surely go berserk.”

“No wonder Rudolf Sherwood has an extra Bond Ring on his hand. It turns out he plans to use Bond Coordination to increase his control over the Pet. But if the coordination fails on the spot, that would be hilarious!”

“…”

In the VIP seats of Rosewood College, Tracy Harvey spoke softly, “It seems that Peony Colledge has gained a lot from the First Emperor Relic. They are even willing to let students contract with Overlord Mechs they previously regarded as treasures and hardly ever used.”

Blake Easton chuckled, “We have to thank David Jones for that. If he hadn’t helped the Raven Spirit suppress Mother Scarlet and prevented the Overlord Mechs inside the Relic from being damaged, Peony Colledge would have had a hard time mastering the Patriot Series and Zodiac Series Mechs within a century.”

Tracy Harvey had a strange look on her face, “In this way, David Jones has actually increased the difficulty of winning the championship for himself!”

Blake Easton nodded slightly, “However, the Federation of Trainer Guilds rewards contributions. In addition to the Black Dragon Badge, the Guild is also planning to give David Jones an experimental opportunity with an Overlord Mech.”
