Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 190: Chapter 135 Super-Rank? The Final Result of the Solar Formula?_3

But as Breeders, they could still understand that the combat strength and potential of the Wanmu Wolf were enough to prove Su Ping’s excellence.

For a moment, the scene was somewhat frozen. However, just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, ”No, there’s one more person left!” Indeed, at the very edge of their field of vision, a display screen was still lit. The next moment, without needing any command, this sole remaining screen took over the largest central spot, instantly drawing everyone’s gaze.

Ling Peng cautiously looked toward the not-too-distant location. This last captain of the Snow Wolf Group had managed to survive until the very end.

In the chaotic battle that had just transpired, although the Snow Wolf Group primarily focused on harassment, by standing on the same side as the Forest Wolf Troop, they had suffered an unprecedented blow. This assault had decimated the Snow Wolf Group, leaving only Captain Ling, who had fled in the confusion.

Ling Peng reassured himself that he had done his duty to the Forest Wolf Troop. When he got out, he should be able to explain himself to Chief Lin and the Troop Leader. So, under these circumstances, lasting a little longer means a few more survival points. Perhaps a critical ranking could come down to this one or two-point difference?

But just then, Ling Peng, who had already retreated to the outermost edge of the battlefield’s center, saw a huge flash of light flicker in the city center. The next instant, even from the city’s outskirts, he heard a deafeningly terrifying sound and felt the ground tremble violently.

This vibration and this noise made Ling Peng feel immensely relieved about his retreat. If I had been at the very center, who knows how I would have ended up? Luckily, he had run fast.

But intense curiosity also compelled Ling Peng to look back towards the city center. What on earth happened there?

He glanced at his life signs watch. The personnel status displayed on it hadn’t changed at all. What’s going on? he wondered. With such a huge commotion, not a single person was eliminated?

Finally, Ling Peng gritted his teeth. With his Cold Water Wolf, which had somewhat recovered, he rushed rapidly towards the city center.

After the immense vibration, an eerie silence descended. The entire city was as quiet as a ghost town. Signs of battle were visible everywhere: solidified tree branches, burned-out buildings, and shattered walls and streets. These were the remnants of the previous melee, but now, not a whisper could be heard.

The footage followed Ling Peng’s perspective closely, making everyone’s heart race. Don’t tell me they were all wiped out just like that? they thought. If that’s the case, it would be utterly outrageous! These are the elites of each team! If these elites were to die or be injured in the competition, it would be a tremendous loss.

Especially concerning that last event, the Forest Wolf’s Evolutionary Body. Theoretically, the one who activated the skill should be fine. Moreover, the life signs watch’s shield is supposed to withstand the power of a Monarch Level skill. But you can never rule out the unexpected. After all, Sun Xiao’s final cry before the live broadcast screen went black was deeply concerning.

”Damn it, what’s this kid dawdling for? Why isn’t he moving faster?” one of the commanders grumbled.

”Besides this kid, there are no other teams left. What’s he still trying to outlast?” another added.

”Chief Lin, how do you usually instruct your soldiers? How can he still be so timid at a time like this? This won’t do!”

Even the Legion’s Chief of Staff beside them turned unhappily to look at Lin Lei. Clearly, Ling Peng’s manner of slowly, almost stealthily, inching forward toward the center was getting on their nerves. The entire Legion was watching this unfold. Damn it, all the top brass throughout the Legion saw Ling Peng’s pathetic, creeping advance, as if he were tailing someone.

Lin Lei felt aggrieved. Is this really something to be scolded for? he thought. In the Legion, especially in live combat exercises, isn’t being too careless and losing a tactical opportunity the biggest taboo? Ling Peng is being cautious; no matter how you look at it, that should be considered reasonable, shouldn’t it?

But what could Lin Lei say? Under the watchful, unfriendly gazes of the Chief of Staff and several other curious commanders, Lin Lei could only begrudgingly lower his head.

However, he was also irritated internally. The Sand Wolf Troop was too bold and reckless, while Ling Peng of the Snow Wolf Group is indeed too timid. It isn’t just the front-row commanders who are curious; I, Chief Lin, am also uncontrollably curious! Who wouldn’t be? After all, my own soldier is now in the limelight. What exactly is going on? How could I not be curious?

But there was nothing he could do at this moment. It had to be said that, aside from the emergence of the Wanmu Wolf which had amazed the entire Legion, and the five elites of the Forest Wolf Troop, the person currently leaving the deepest impression on the commanders was Ling Peng, inching so hesitantly towards the very center. It just remains to be seen what Ling Peng himself will think of all this later.

Fortunately, the small city itself wasn’t very large. After an agonizing wait as Ling Peng traversed several blocks, the man and wolf finally approached the city center, having come from the outskirts.

However, upon witnessing the scene before him, Ling Peng’s jaw dropped. His first instinct was that he had to be seeing things.
