Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 165 Challenger

"Um, when did you become a battle beastmaster for two regions? Tingting."

Bai Xiaojuan was stunned when she heard this. Isn't there only one beastmaster from one place? Why did Tingting become the representative of two places?

Although she knew that Xu Tingting had become a combat beastmaster of the Lava City Beastmaster Association, she didn't know that Xu Tingting was also a combat beastmaster of the Yunxiao City Beastmaster Association.

Speaking of which, the main reason she came to find Tingting this time was to find out the information about the combat masters of the Yunxiao Beastmaster Association.

These are good, there is no need to ask at all.

The fighting beastmaster from the Yunxiao City Beastmaster Association was right in front of her.

"After the president of the Yunxiao City Beast Tamer Association knew that I had become the combat beast tamer of the Lava City Beast Tamer Association, he gave this position to me. The president said that I could be both one and two." Xu Tingting explained with a wry smile.

"Is that so? You still have the badges of those two associations on you?" Bai Xiaojuan asked when she heard that.

"Yes, do you want it? Xiaojuan." Xu Tingting nodded and said.

"Of course I want it. If I'm not crazy, how could I not want it?" Bai Xiaojuan said, "If I really follow the normal process to challenge you, I may not be able to get two badges until the year after next. Since you are giving it to me, of course I will accept it."

How strong is Groudon? This is obvious to all. If you really challenge Groudon honestly? How can you win?
So she just used her connections to get the badge.

"Okay, then let's go to the hotel. I left the badge at the hotel." Xu Tingting said with a smile. She was worried that Xiaojuan would not accept it, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.

"Ah."

Bai Xiaojuan nodded when she heard that, and the two of them rode on the Dark Pegasus to the hotel.

"Hey! Tingting, your Groudon? And the Crocodile are not at the entrance of the hotel?" Bai Xiaojuan asked curiously.

Hadn't Tingting always let Groudon and Crocodile roam freely? Why didn't she see them when she arrived at the hotel? Could it be that the two beasts had changed their temperaments now?
"Grawo is now at the volcano helping the association maintain order, and the Mountain-Moving Crocodile evolved into the Giant Crocodile a few days ago and is also lying nearby." Xu Tingting explained with a smile.

"Your Mountain Moving Crocodile has evolved into a Giant Crocodile?" Bai Xiaojuan was surprised when she heard this and said, "That's amazing! They are not even the same species anymore."

"What good food did you give him?"

The evolution of the Mountain-Moving Crocodile into the Giant Crocodile is just like picking up a caterpillar from the roadside and evolving it into a Swallowtail Butterfly.

"Nothing. Actually, I don't usually care much about the Mountain Moving Crocodile." Xu Tingting scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Maybe the Mountain Moving Crocodile is too old and has eaten a lot of miscellaneous things during this process, so it has become like this."

Did the Mountain-Moving Crocodile eat anything good after it signed a contract with her? It seems not. In fact, the resources she spent on the Mountain-Moving Crocodile were less than one percent of Groudon.

Normally, it is Groudon that provides the materials for Crocodile to eat. In fact, her job as a summoner is quite leisurely.

"You're really comparing yourself to others and making me angry." Bai Xiaojuan said with twitching eyes when she heard that.

She knew that Xu Tingting might not have lied to her, but the more this was the case, the more jealous she became.

"It's okay." Xu Tingting said with a smile, and took out a wing badge and a red soil badge from her schoolbag, handed them to Bai Xiaojuan and said, "These are the badges of Lava City and Yunxiao City. Remember to keep them."

"Well, thank you very much, Tingting." Bai Xiaojuan said with a smile after receiving two badges.

"You're welcome. We're all so familiar with each other, so don't be so formal." Xu Tingting waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Then do you want to see what Groudon looks like now? I remember you haven't seen what Groudon looks like after it evolves."

"Yes, except for the picture you sent me, I haven't seen it in person." Bai Xiaojuan nodded and said, "By the way, take me to see your giant crocodile. I haven't seen him either."

Having been away from school for so long, she didn't know how strong Tingting had become. This was a good opportunity to take a look at Groudon and Megatron to find out more.

"Okay." Xu Tingting nodded and looked at Bai Xiaojuan and said:
"Are you tired now? If you are too tired, we can go later. If you are not tired, we can go now."

"Go now. I have to go back to school later and can't stay here too long." Bai Xiaojuan thought for a while and said that she still had to take care of some things when she came back, but she couldn't stay overnight here, so she had to go back early.

"Then let's set off now. The volcano is just behind the hillside." Xu Tingting said.

"Yeah." Bai Xiaojuan nodded when she heard that, and the two of them left the hotel and headed towards the volcano.

"Why has Groudon become like this now?"

Before reaching the volcano, Bai Xiaojuan saw the huge glittering figure at the foot of the volcano and was stunned.

Groudon didn't change much from his original appearance, except that all the patterns on his body were lit up, as if he had an extra layer of shiny gold paint.

But in the photos that Tingting sent her, she couldn't see it at all.

"I'm not sure either, but the professor guessed that this is a form of Groudon's evolution. But as to why, the professor didn't figure it out either."

"All we know is that Groudon in this state is much stronger than what the professor originally estimated," Xu Tingting explained.

The professor had used a supercomputer to simulate the values ​​of Groudon after its evolution, but Groudon is now much stronger than what the professor simulated.

From this, the professor speculated that Groudon's current appearance must be a more advanced form.

"Is that so? How strong is Groudon now?" Bai Xiaojuan asked after hearing this. It is impossible that Groudon only looks scary.

She felt that Groudon should be very strong now.

"We haven't encountered any rival teams below the legendary beastmaster yet, but I'm not sure if we can win against a legendary beastmaster."

"Really? I may not be able to win, but I shouldn't have much of a problem protecting myself."

Bai Xiaojuan guessed and said, Groudon is so strong that even if he can't defeat the legendary beast, he will definitely not have any problem escaping.

After all, a legendary level Beast Tamer is truly a high-level Beast Tamer.

"I hope so, but I'm not sure without a fight." Xu Tingting looked at the sleeping Groudon and asked Bai Xiaojuan:

"Xiaojuan, do you want me to wake up Groudon and talk to Icebeetle? If not, let's go see the Titanoceros."

"No need, don't disturb Groudon's rest." Hearing this, Bai Xiaojuan shook her head and said, "I'll just go see the Giant Crocodile."

"Then let's go over there." Xu Tingting nodded, and the two of them came to a mountain of gold.

"Tingting, you are not trying to tell me that this hill in front of us is your giant crocodile?" Bai Xiaojuan said weakly as she looked at the golden mountain in front of her.

"Although I really want to tell you that it's not, he is really a giant crocodile." Xu Tingting nodded and said.

"Well, this is really outrageous." Bai Xiaojuan looked at Jin Shan in front of her and said, "Now I have a general understanding of your strength. I can't afford to offend you. I'll just slip away."

Judging from the current state of the Titanoceros, her Ice Beaver can't even beat it, let alone challenging Groudon. The only one she has a chance of defeating now is the Golden-winged Roc.

But it was embarrassing for her to challenge a lord-level golden-winged roc, didn't it? Tingting was willing to send the golden-winged roc to fight, and she really couldn't bear to challenge it. Sure enough, it was the right choice to accept the badge without shame at the beginning.

"Are you leaving so soon? Don't you want to sit here for a while?" Xu Tingting was stunned when she heard that.

It seemed like they had only been sitting here for a few minutes, so why was Xiaojuan leaving?
"No, no." Bai Xiaojuan shook her head and said, "I have to continue to challenge, otherwise I won't be able to register for the Beast Tamer Competition this year."

“Although the chances of winning the championship are slim, this is also a way to gain life experience.”

"Well, take care. I won't see you off." Xu Tingting smiled and waved when she heard that.

"Okay, see you later. Tingting." Bai Xiaojuan said, and released a large bird with colorful feathers: "Golden Pheasant, let's go back to school."

"chirp"

"chirp"

Hearing this, the huge golden pheasant flapped its wings and flew away.

"The Golden Pheasant is such a beautiful royal animal." Looking at Bai Xiaojuan who was leaving, Xu Tingting said with some envy.

The Golden Pheasant is indeed one of the most beautiful bird-type beasts. It is so beautiful, just like the legendary phoenix.

I don’t know when she will have a cute-looking beast by her side. To be honest, all the beasts around him now are quite majestic.

Thinking of this, Xu Tingting couldn't help but sigh, then walked away.

"Hello! Where is the Battle Beastmaster of the Lava City Beastmaster Association? I would like to participate in the regional challenge and obtain the Lava City badge."

At the entrance of the Lava City Beast Tamer Association, the leader Hou Xingsong looked at the staff at the entrance and asked with a smile.

Registration for next year's Beast Tamer Competition is imminent, and he needs to collect all the badges as soon as possible. Only then will he be eligible to register.

"Hello! Our beastmaster is not in the association right now, and it's getting late. Do you think you can come over to challenge us tomorrow?" said the staff member who heard this.

"Is that so? That's really unfortunate." Hou Xingsong smiled and said, "Then please convey my message. I hope to meet the fighting beastmasters of the Lava City Beastmaster Association tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem." The staff member replied with a smile, and Hou Xingsong walked out of the Lava City Beastmaster Association, ready to come back for the challenge early tomorrow morning.

"Mr. President, a beastmaster just came to the association and he wants to challenge Tingting." The staff member looked at Hou Xingsong's departing back and called the president.

"Here to challenge Tingting?" The president asked, "Did he leave his name? Did he say which region he was in?"

"No, President." The staff member said, "He is not much older than Tingting, so he should not be a powerful beastmaster."

The other person only looked to be around 24 or 25 years old, could he be that powerful? It seemed impossible.

"Age is not a criterion for measuring a person's strength. Do you think Tingting is so powerful considering her age?" The president said, "Besides, our Lava City Beast Tamer Association's official website states that Tingting is our fighting beast tamer. He dared to come and challenge her, so he must have some skills."

"Do we need to investigate him thoroughly, President?" After hearing this, the staff member suddenly felt that he had been careless and asked quickly.

"That's not necessary. I'm still very confident in Tingting's current strength." The president said with a smile: "I just remind you not to be careless, I don't mean to blame you."

He was just a beastmaster who came to challenge Tingting, and he was not enough to scare the Lava City Beastmaster Association.

If they investigate the situation of a pre-sale agent for this reason, people who don't know will think that they can't afford to lose.

"Yes, President." The staff nodded.

"Well, go and tell everyone to reinforce the ground inside the venue, so that when the battle starts tomorrow, the fighting stage will be destroyed and we'll have a lot of fun." The president said with a smile.

"Um, President. I don't think we have to fight inside the association." Upon hearing this, the staff member said, "When Dark Pegasus and his men were fighting inside, they knocked down several battle platforms. If Groudon really takes over this time, I'm afraid the arena won't be able to hold up."

"Or maybe we can just move the battlefield near the volcano. There won't be many people there, and Groudon can still perform well there."

"You have a point. If Groudon is allowed to fight in the Association's battle arena, this situation will indeed occur. So when he arrives tomorrow morning, you can bring him to the volcano."

After listening to the staff's words, the president spoke.

Although the headquarters allocates a lot of funds every year, it cannot be done like this.

You still need to save some energy if you can, especially since the one you're fighting this time is Groudon. He's really worried that the ring will be destroyed by then.

When it is repaired, it will be no small amount of money.

"Okay, President." The staff member replied, and the sound of the phone being hung up was heard from the other end.

The next morning, Hou Xingsong arrived at the gate of the Lava City Beastmaster Association as scheduled, and he was greeted by the same staff member from yesterday.

"Hello! Is there any beastmaster from the Lava City Beastmaster Association here today?" Hou Xingsong asked politely.

"Tingting didn't come to the association today. She is at our association's volcanic training ground. After I reported to the president yesterday, he decided to arrange the battle stage near the volcanic training ground." The staff looked at Hou Xingsong and explained, "After all, the beasts you have are too powerful, and it is really a bit too much for the platform to bear."

"That's true. It seems the association has thought of everything very carefully." Hou Xingsong, who was a little disappointed after hearing the first half of the speech, said with a smile after hearing the second half.

"Then please come with me, sir." Seeing that Hou Xingsong had no objection, the staff member said with a smile.

"Of course. Thank you for your help." Hou Xingsong said with a smile.

"Is it troublesome? This is what I should do." The staff member said, and released his night owl to lead Hou Xingsong.

"My brother, your beast control speed is a bit slow, and you can't catch up with my beast control. How about you become my beast control?" Hou Xingsong looked at the lord-level Night Owl and said, and then immediately explained:
"Of course, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to belittle you."

"I know, I didn't misunderstand." The staff member who heard this said with a smile: "Then thank you for your help, I will show you the way."

"Okay, okay." Hou Xingsong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and released his Sirius Beast.

"Is this the Sirius?" The staff member was stunned when he saw the cloud patterns on the giant wolf in front of him and the wing-like hair on its back.

This kind of flying beast is rare here. I didn’t expect that the opponent’s flying beast is actually a Sirius beast.

"Yes." Hou Xingsong jumped onto the back of the Sirius beast and waved to the staff, who then jumped up.

"The volcano training ground is in that direction." The staff member who jumped on the back of Sirius Beast pointed in a direction and said, and Sirius Beast flew towards the outside of the city.

"What a fast speed, it's worthy of being a Sirius beast." The staff member standing on the Sirius beast's back squatted down quickly after the strong wind made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Not long after he squatted down and closed his eyes, he heard Hou Xingsong's voice: "Brother, we are here. Do you think it is the volcano?"

"So fast?" The staff member with his eyes closed said in amazement, then stood up and said when he saw the volcano below: "Yes, it's here. Let's go down now."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Hou Xingsong let the Sirius beast land on the ground.

"President, please look up at the sky."

After the beastmaster on the ground noticed the approaching Sirius Beast, he spoke to the president beside him.

"It looks like the beastmaster who came to challenge Tingting has arrived." The president looked up at the sky and said, "Is Tingting still reading? Call her and ask her to get ready to come."

"Yes, President." Hearing this, the beastmaster took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Dark Pegasusmon flying over not far away: "President, I don't think I should call Tingting, she's coming."

"Really? That's good." The president looked at Siriusmon landing on the ground and nodded, and Dark Pegasusmon also flew over.

Both parties jumped down from their respective beasts almost at the same time.

"I have long heard of Master Beastmaster Xu Tingting. It is my great honor to see the legendary Beastmaster in person today." Hou Xingsong looked at Xu Tingting and greeted her with a smile, his eyes glancing over the Dark Pegasus beast beside Xu Tingting.

"I wouldn't say I've heard of you for a long time. I'm actually not that good." Xu Tingting smiled awkwardly when she heard this. She was a little uncomfortable with being suddenly told this by someone else, as she had never participated in any competitions.

Why do people older than me call me this?

"Miss Xu Tingting, you are wrong. You are very famous." Hou Xingsong said with a smile: "When people mention the first beastmaster under the legend, who doesn't know Groudon? And when it comes to Groudon, who doesn't know you, Miss Xu Tingting?"

"Well, actually, Groudon is the best beast under Legend. It's just a rumor. It's not true. Don't believe it." Xu Tingting said weakly. She didn't know when someone started to spread the rumor that Groudon was the best beast under Legend. Isn't this a clear trick for her? She and Groudon had never said anything, but she was pushed to Feng Jianlang's mouth.

The key point is that I don’t know where these people got the video from, but they make it seem like they have good reasons.

As a result, a lot of people on the Internet believe it, and he feels embarrassed whenever he hears this name.

"Ahem." The guild president nearby said, "The platform is ready not far away. If you want to fight, you can go over now."

"I'll go wake up Groudon and Megacrocodile first. They're still sleeping and don't know about the battle." Xu Tingting said after hearing this.

"Then Tingting, you go call them first. What is this little brother's name?" Hearing this, the president asked Hou Xingsong.

"President, just call me Xiao Hou." Hou Xingsong said with a smile, looking at Xu Tingting who was riding on the dark Pegasus and flying towards not far away with some confusion. Didn't the other party put the beasts into the beast taming space, but let them roam freely?

This way, the growth rate of the beasts should be very slow.

"Xiao Hou, let's go to the battle arena and wait. Groudon and Megatron won't get up so quickly."

The president saw this and spoke.

"Okay." Hou Xingsong replied, and followed the president to the fighting arena built near the volcano.

He hadn't been waiting here for long when two huge monsters appeared in his sight.

"Is this Groudon and Giganto?" Looking at the big guys, one emitting red light and the other emitting golden light, Hou Xingsong couldn't help but be stunned.

The other party's beast control seemed to be different from what he knew. It seemed that his information was a bit outdated.

I hope this won't affect his challenge this time.

"Yes, this is Groudon and Giant Crocodile." The president said to Hou Xingsong with a smile: "Tingting's three beasts have arrived. You can release your three beasts for battle now."

"Okay." Hou Xingsong nodded and released his beasts: "I'll trouble you in this battle with the unicorn lizard and the iron hammer dragon."

"Ho~ho~"

Upon hearing this, the Sirius beasts could not help but roar towards the sky, releasing their own pressure.

"They are indeed quite capable. No wonder they dare to challenge me." Looking at the giant lizard and the dragon with a head as big as a hammer, the president had an idea of ​​their strength.

"Boss, do you think these guys are sick? Why do they like to roar for no reason?" The giant crocodile, who was walking unsteadily, heard the roars of the Sirius Beast and others and felt that they were somewhat ill.

"So you're going to beat them to death later, understand? Don't show any mercy." Zhong Cong yawned and said, "If you don't beat up these naughty guys a few times, they won't behave themselves."

"Yes, boss. If I can't kill them later, I will beat them to death as you said." Hearing this, the giant crocodile nodded.

They are not allowed to rest in broad daylight. It would be unjust if they are not beaten up.

"The rules of the competition, everyone has fought so many games, I believe you should be very clear about it without me saying anything." Seeing the Giant Crocodile and Zhong Cong walked onto the battle stage, the president said: "A beast that loses its combat ability is considered a loser, and a beast that leaves the battle stage is also considered a loser. If you take the initiative to collect a beast into the beast control space, you can't release it again."

"Xiao Hou, if you think there is no problem with the rules? Then the game can start now. What do you think?"

"Since the president is the referee, there is naturally no point for me to do this." Hou Xingsong said with a smile and made a "please" gesture to Xu Tingting, indicating that ladies are first.

"Then I'll trouble you with the first game of the Giant Crocodile." Xu Tingting said to the Giant Crocodile when she saw this.

"Okay, Tingting."

"Leave this match to me, and just wait and see how I deal with him." Upon hearing this, the Giant Crocodile jumped directly onto the battle stage, waiting for the opponent's beast to come on the field.

"Sorry to trouble you, unicorn lizard. Remember, don't fight him head-on. You will definitely not be able to beat him." Hou Xingsong said to the unicorn lizard which was more than 30 meters long. With the size of the giant crocodile, how many beasts can defeat it?

Not to mention that the opponent is a power-type beast tamer, which makes it even more difficult to win.

"I'll try my best." The horned lizard said after hearing this, and looked at the giant crocodile on the fighting stage with a nervous heart, as it was the first time he met such a strong opponent.

To be honest, he is not very confident.

"The game begins. The beasts of both sides can fight now." Seeing the two beasts coming on the field, the president spoke, then jumped off the fighting stage and gave the field to them.

"The unicorn-horned lizard uses Forest Mystery." Hou Xingsong shouted, and the green horn on the unicorn's head on the fighting stage immediately released a green light. Soon a hint of green appeared on the black fighting stage. First, a small piece of grass grew out, and then countless towering trees rose from the ground, turning the entire fighting stage into a forest.

"Whizzing"

"Whizzing"

The vines, as thick as cement pipes, kept waving on the ground and looked very difficult to deal with.

"Are you planning to use the wood attribute to restrain the earth attribute of the giant crocodile?" The president muttered as he looked at the large forest created by the unicorn.

Using attribute restraint is indeed a good method, but the opponent seems to have forgotten one thing.

As far as the surrounding environment is concerned, the other side's forest area does not give them much advantage.

Moreover, the Giant Crocodile is not just an earth-type beast, it also possesses gold-type abilities.

"This skill is great. If it is used to green the desert, it will probably not take long before the desert becomes a green forest." Zhong Cong muttered as he watched this scene. The green vines on the field grabbed the giant crocodile and tied him up.

"With just this little bit of strength, you still want to throw me out? Aren't you underestimating me, an old crocodile?" Feeling the pulling force from the vines, the giant crocodile was very disdainful. With just this little bit of strength, you still want to throw it out of the fighting arena? That's too unrealistic.

"The horned lizard uses the forest giant to throw the giant crocodile out." Seeing that these vines could not pull the giant crocodile no matter how hard they tried, Hou Xingsong gave another order.

As he finished speaking, the trees on the battle stage began to move, twisting together to form a green giant one hundred meters tall. The giant stretched out its arms and grabbed the giant crocodile.

"This wood-based skill is really awesome..." After seeing this scene, Zhong Cong said that he had learned something. This horned lizard actually has a trick of asking for a substitute to play with. It is really good.

"Giant Crocodile, interrupt his attack, don't let him catch you." Xu Tingting shouted when she saw the forest giant slowly grabbing the tied up Giant Crocodile.

The giant crocodile moved its body slightly, and the huge vines that bound him suddenly made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, and then broke apart with a "puff puff puff".

"You don't want to fight me head-on, right? Then I'm going to make you fight me head-on." After the giant crocodile broke free from the vines, it pounced towards the forest giant, biting the forest giant's arm to pieces with one bite, and even broke the forest giant's waist with its body.

"What! Is this giant crocodile so strong?" Seeing this, Hou Xingsong's pupils shrank and he shouted, "Use the forest cage to tie him up. I believe he can still fight against the power of the entire forest."

"Whizzing"

"Whizzing"

As soon as Hou Xingsong finished speaking, all the trees began to grow wildly, turning into huge green vines that rushed towards the giant crocodile.

"Look, I'm going to add fuel to the fire for you, calm down." Seeing this, the giant crocodile suddenly emitted a bright golden light. After it shone on the vines, the green vines instantly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a raging fire started.

"This giant crocodile actually has this ability?" Hou Xingsong said solemnly, "Unicorn lizard, quickly use the forest hurricane to counterattack and send the burning flames back to him."

"Whizzing"

"Whizzing"

After the entire forest turned into a sea of ​​fire, the horned lizard opened its mouth and spit out a green tornado, which wrapped up the raging flames on the ground and turned into a fire tornado that rushed towards the giant crocodile.

With the help of the wind and the fire, a huge fire tornado swept towards the giant crocodile.
