Over the years, through the new directors continuous efforts, the island has evolved into a world-class sanctuary renowned for preserving numerous living fossils. The Guardians School offers two annual excursions each year – spring and autumn trips where students can freely form mixed-age groups. Ah Jun eagerly anticipates these opportunities, especially after Lan ers graduation. Since then, he rarely sees her, missing her dearly as she misses him too. Apart from holidays, the only times the siblings reunite are during these seasonal outings, since the island remains accessible to the general public.
Of course, there was also pudding and later Xiao Xi. As for Xiao Tianmei, she didnt want to, but she always missed the time. Why? Well, hehe!
Returning to the arena, we witnessed a small dinosaur being shackled and brought before the contestants under the watchful eyes of several staff members. After enduring this brutal torture, its eyes began to glint with crimson light, its expression shifting from pitiful to fierce and helpless. The little dinosaur gradually transformed into a rampaging giant dinosaur, effortlessly breaking free from the chains.
According to the book, Ah Jun knows that this state is a manifestation of abnormal evolution, as terrifying as the witch tribe described in the book. It seems that this system is quite positive, and there is a legitimate reason for the remaining players to unite together to fight the enemy, which will not be called animal abuse.
Faced with such a terrible enemy, each contestant was also given a special game prop, a customized little cube to deal with the monster in front of him, the Tyrannosaurus rex... The most striking thing was the brand on his neck, which looked like an ancient magic spell.
The beast, having broken free from its restraints, roared fiercely toward the sky before charging at the opponent. As it charged, it began scanning its surroundings while engaging the enemy. Meanwhile, the contestants who had been holding back for a long time sprang into action. They hid in the distance, directing their mystical beasts to launch attacks on the foes.
But after all, these small fighting beasts were only rare beasts in level, and their total combat power was not enough to compete with the Tyrannosaurus, so they were knocked down one by one, but none of them was injured or able to move.
A mythical beast, a general term for a level or category, is an exotic beast selected and cultivated to be used in combat. It can easily evolve into a higher level of combat power, a spiritual beast.
After tasting the advantage, the giant dinosaur didnt pause but immediately unleashed a shockwave at the hidden operatives. This sent the contestants into a panic. At that critical moment, a newly risen large eagle-like creature charged forward. Spreading its wings, it bravely blocked its caretaker and fellow contestants, single-handedly withstanding the onslaught.
Then, with a loud bang, the brave beast fell down and could not even move. But his manager only glanced at it, snorted coldly, and immediately followed the others to focus on the race, because there was only one winner left.
According to the agreed tactics, the players began to use their abilities to besiege the monsters without hesitation, and some of the other exotic beasts with some strength were forced to command the continued cooperation in the battle.
When the Tyrannosaurus rex was still a baby, its extraordinary abilities were deliberately suppressed by the new director through covert methods. Though now grown and evolved with enhanced strength, the dinosaurs physical capabilities remain severely compromised from past torture, resulting in limited combat effectiveness. Of course, this serves as a safeguard mechanism for the contestants safety.
As the monster grew increasingly exhausted under everyones relentless assault, the players scrambled to capture the remaining cube. But their attempts were plagued by startup failures and limited activation options, leaving Xiao Xi growing impatient with the chaotic chaos.
At this critical moment, one of the small magic cubes had already blossomed perfectly in the hands of an inconspicuous contestant who had repeatedly backed out during previous battles, smoothly initiating the capture procedure. Unlike his peers, this trainee appeared timid and hesitant on the surface, but Ah Jun noticed his approach to handling his own beast was markedly different—showing unusual caution and prudence.
In addition, judging by his skills, he should have won the first game if he had been willing to give up a little.
The T-Rex beast was then restrained once more, its suppressed growls intensifying. The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers for the contestants. While Xiao Xi and Ah Jun—— were voicing their frustration about the mythical creature that had shielded the competitors earlier, Ah Jun remained silent, muttering to himself. Xiao Xi couldnt help but grumble, but Ah Jun immediately silenced her with a soft whisper.
The little cube gradually bound the monster, and the big dinosaur gradually recovered into a small shape, and was slowly put into the mechanism. It was an array of modified mechanisms, with the core ability to effectively restrain and imprison the strange beast. Although it was castrated, it was enough.
At this time, Ah Jun looked at the poor little dinosaur and suddenly felt compassion. He thought of his own little cat, which had almost been caught before ——but fortunately, the little cat was protected by him and his family and was safe.
Then his eyes met the eyes of the monster in the air, but just then, the eyes of the T-Rex suddenly burst open and glowed again with a strange crimson light, different from what it had been before.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the monster shattered the energy chain with a roar and broke free from the power of the little cube. —— Some new energy, somehow, made the little dinosaur go wild again, grow bigger, and then march straight toward Ah Jun, shouting.
Just then, the arena suddenly sounded an alarm, throwing everyone into panic and chaos—— The man and woman on the judges table exchanged a glance before the woman vanished instantly. The man then announced over the broadcast that danger was imminent, ordering all present to gather and have security personnel fully control the scene to ensure safe evacuation of the crowd.
Obviously, the T-Rex was out of control. It had clearly broken through some of its power limits and was no longer a match for the competitors. It was no longer safe here.
Xiaoxi and Ah Jun were still a bit confused, but fortunately, they were farther away, and the exit was nearby. However, the two brothers didnt rush to escape; instead, they decided to wait and see, hoping they could offer some help. But the man and woman, along with the monster, didnt see it that way—— As soon as the man finished speaking, he charged straight toward the center of the arena.
The Beast of Wrath wasted no time, unleashing a fiery shockwave straight toward Ah Jun and Xiao Xi. A colossal fireball hurtled toward the two children—— While the brothers only knew the blast was aimed at the audience area, they were still figuring out how to assist those along the attack path and protect evacuees. But the fireball showed no mercy—precisely targeting the children without hesitation.
With a quick exchange of glances, Ah Jun and Xiao Xi immediately relocated the Little Sweet Girl to safety. Surveying the fleeing crowd, they swiftly agreed to coordinate their efforts to mitigate the threat. As guardians of the young ones——, they positioned Xiao Xi at the front line to focus on defensive preparations while Ah Jun took charge at the exit, mimicking the orderly manner of security personnel to direct evacuation and reassure the panicked crowd with methodical precision.
This time, the power of the T-Rex Beast was so intense that it shook the entire venue. The ground trembled violently, with the seismic waves growing more intense. Ah Jun began to feel his whole body trembling—whether from the shockwaves force or an abnormal physical reaction triggered by the disturbance. Even the dagger at his waist quivered slightly.
Fortunately, Xiao Xi remained as steadfast as a rock, his confidence rooted in the knowledge of Ais presence. Just then, three figures suddenly appeared before the childrens eyes—— Ah Jun recognized them as the Little Wild Beasts participating in the competition, for these creatures had long been aware of Ah Juns existence.
A bird-like creature hovered in the air, none other than the —— of the contestant who had activated the mini cube earlier. Unlike the hidden trainees, this competitor showed remarkable courage by stepping forward during the crisis. He directed his mystical beast to work in tandem with the sea and land beasts. Despite lacking prior drills or specialized training, they executed their mission with natural coordination and full power, working together to rescue the hostages.
Then, the giant bird spread its wings and unleashed two tornado-like shockwaves straight toward the fireball. This ability looked extraordinary. Ah Jun remembered clearly—it was the final blow that had just felled the T-Rex beast. Meanwhile, the other two mythical creatures ignored their masters summons and immediately joined the attack, merging their power into the tornadoes—— The sea beast used water-type abilities to neutralize fire damage, while the land beast amplified the flying birds capabilities by matching the fireballs attributes.
Of course, these forces were still a drop in the bucket. No matter how powerful the little beasts were and how well they cooperated, they could not overcome the power of the raging dinosaur. They only weakened and delayed the action of the fireball —— The shock wave was still stubbornly moving along the route, refusing to give up.
At this moment, Ah Jun quickly glanced at Xiao Xi. The two children exchanged a glance and immediately rushed to the side of the little beast who had helped them, ready to fight shoulder to shoulder with them, even though it might be in vain...
At the moment when danger was approaching, the woman who had disappeared from the judges seat just now suddenly appeared in front of the children. This figure seemed familiar to Ah Jun, and he used a familiar move.
A massive shield-shaped mud mass suddenly shot up from the ground, blocking the path of the fireball. But then, with a roar from the central T-Rex, the shockwave seemed determined to continue its relentless charge through the mud shield, demonstrating remarkable strength.
Ajun and Xiaoxi exchanged glances, unsure how to assist. —— The older sister before them maintained her powers with practiced hands, her lips curved in confident amusement. As the fireballs energy was absorbed, the clay clumps gradually hardened into a distinct shape—reminiscent of porcelain craftsmanship. When the shockwaves flames were fully neutralized, the woman applied final pressure. The clay formed a meticulously crafted dining plate, glazed and hardened into a massive shield that absorbed the residual blast energy.
The child hid behind the woman, clearly observing the same pulse patterns emerging on her arm as during their previous battle against the Bear Demon. These patterns resembled physical circuitry———like electrical pathways, when current flows from the shoulder end through the pulse channels to the fingers, the small light bulbs along the lines would illuminate. Isnt that fascinating? Of course, this time things were different. Although still using three star-rated skill points, simultaneously activating both arms delivered at least twice the power of a single channel, effectively forming a parallel circuit. With more light sources and increased current flow, the effects became even more pronounced.
This is the Guardians ultimate technique, with the manifestation of meridian channels serving as its foundation. The points along these channels represent skill levels – each point signifies a star, corresponding to the most basic and elementary abilities. While the Five Commanderies ethnic groups possess varying numbers of meridian points, they all share a common characteristic: the skill effects displayed by different points differ significantly. As proficiency increases, the number of operational points grows proportionally. The abilities formed through multiple point combinations continuously evolve, creating countless variations when calculated based on permutation principles. Naturally, the difficulty of execution rises accordingly with the complexity of these combinations.
The third-star skill currently demonstrated by this senior sister proves challenging even when executed with one hand, let alone using both arms. Its evident that in Ah Juns estimation, this familiar elder sister must have attained the fifth-tier Guardian rank. Within the basic hierarchy of Guardian systems, she ranks second among martial heroes, only surpassed by Qing.
As the saying goes, "A man and a woman make a perfect team." While the woman delivered that devastating strike, her partner had already subdued the rampaging dinosaur —— The man cast a sidelong glance at her before deploying his specialized grappling device to subdue the criminal. Meanwhile, the tyrannosaurus rexs eyes gradually regained their normal expression.
At this moment, Ah Jun was looking at the baby dinosaur. He saw that the powerless eyes of the baby dinosaur were full of regret, as if expressing his apology for losing control and telling the pain from his heart—— This made the child feel a pang in his heart and mixed feelings, and a thought arose spontaneously...
