My cells devour all worlds.

the next day.

Zhuang Jinyao, who has already advanced to the group stage qualifiers, is fine. The subsequent matches will not begin until all the group stage qualifiers are completed.

Zhuang Jinyao didn't go out for a stroll, but stayed in the preparation room to cheer on Zhuang Shang and observe the fighting styles of the other potential opponents.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

Although Lu Sheng said that she was no less capable than other contestants, she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's never a bad thing to know more.

Besides Zhuang Jinyao, the only other people in the room were Er Gouzi and his few tamed beasts.

Bear Two, carrying his three tamed beasts—Er Gouzi, Pang Hu, and Youying Fu—was doing push-ups by the window, combining exercise with watching the competition.

Zhuang Shang has already gone to the preparation area and is ready to go on the field at any time.

Zhuang Shang's match is scheduled for the morning, and it will be his turn soon.

After yesterday's events, the channels in the Kamikaze region have made a point of doing their homework today.

When they learned that Zhuang Jinyao's younger brother, Zhuang Shang, was also participating in the league and was even the gym leader of Shinbane City in their Kamikaze region.

The director didn't hesitate to weld the camera to Jill's venue today.

Zhuang Shang did not disappoint them.

They won every match decisively, advancing to the group stage with a perfect record of three wins.

Although his opponent's resume wasn't as impressive as Zhuang Jinyao's, Zhuang Shang, as a newcomer participating in the competition for the first time, and who displayed strong dominance during the match, certainly attracted a lot of attention.

The sensation it caused in the Kamikaze region was no less than that caused by Zhuang Jinyao, and the internet was abuzz with discussion and arguments.

"Oh~ As expected of siblings, they even have the same record and won just as easily."

"Two masters from one family, yet the Johor Bahru Dojo is just a low-level dojo. Johor Bahru City is hiding its true strength far too well."

"Residents of Johor Bahru say they don't know either. By the way, is it still too late to apply for a job at the dojo?"

"I'm sorry, I've already been hired..."

"Lord Qionghu, please bless us! Please, please don't let the two siblings be drawn together in the later elimination rounds..."

"Yes, yes, Lord Qionghu, I'd trade my best brother's ten years of single life for the two of us never to meet..."

"My brother is willing to pay for twenty years..."

"My brother is willing to pay for fifty years..."

"My brother is willing to go all in..."

These are likely their two top contenders from the Kamikaze region, and they don't want to see them fight each other; losing either of them would be a huge loss.

Meanwhile, the Lord Qionghu they were talking about was busy running around the other venues.

Lu Sheng didn't stay at the Gil venue to watch the game. Instead, he went back to his old ways and went to a nearby venue to collect materials.

After such a long period of unremitting efforts, the resource library has been expanded considerably.

Lu Sheng felt that the Sky Tiger form was somewhat lacking in the past, but now it has been fully completed.

He is now the embodiment of the wind; with a single thought, the wind rises, with another, the wind subsides, and with yet another, the wind sweeps away the remaining clouds.

As for the other divine beasts, Lu Sheng had actually found a few of them in the past few days.

However, most of them are worshipped as divine beasts by people in a certain place. They are rare and their whereabouts are elusive. Their strength is indeed much greater than that of ordinary king-level beasts, and they are also marked as divine beasts in the encyclopedia.

But Lu Sheng felt that they were far from deserving the title of divine beasts.

It's not even as good as Qionghu.

For example, the Mountain Rhino of a former high-ranking gym leader in the Origin region was so powerful that it could break mountains.

It sounded impressive, but Lu Sheng felt it was just so-so.

He has no shortage of super strength; his power is increasing every moment, and his strength is further enhanced in various directions after analyzing various spirit beasts.

Crashing through mountains is nothing to him.

On the contrary, Lu Sheng has not yet found a second legendary mythical beast like the Qionghu.

If Lu Sheng hadn't actually pieced together a Sky Tiger, he would have suspected that all those legends were false, merely products of other people's imaginations.

Some legends have at least been passed down through history, with totems passed down, and some people say they have seen them. They sound plausible, so they are more likely to be true.

Some of these stories consist of just a few sentences, yet they claim extraordinary abilities, lack any accompanying images or historical events, making them completely unreliable and sound like pure fabrication.

However, Lu Sheng didn't completely disbelieve it; if a legend has been passed down, it might actually exist.

It's just that very few people have seen it, and it's hard to say for sure.

For example, the Nether Bone Wings that guide the dying and reincarnation of beings are said to be seen only by those who are about to die.

There is only one name; the rest is vague, and it is unknown how it came to be.

He can't just die and see if he can see her again.

Didn't he die in vain?

Lu Sheng planned to find those mythical beasts that were easy to find.

Then they started by targeting the league.

If either Zhuang Jinyao or Zhuang Jinyao could become the champion, and ideally win the title of Legendary Beastmaster, they might be able to learn more about the secrets of the alliance.

Some things may be top secret to the general public, but probably not so much to those in power.

During this process, you will also encounter many powerful beasts.

I'll think about it.

Lu Sheng continued his actions, quietly appearing in a preparation room.

Lu Sheng glanced at the male contestant by the window, then silently stroked all the beasts in the room before quietly leaving without a trace.

"It would be great if I could visit other people's beast-taming spaces," Lu Sheng suddenly thought.

Some people don't release their beasts, and others might hide their trump cards, waiting for the crucial moment, not letting others discover them easily now.

He simply cannot analyze something like this.

However, if someone is strong enough, they will eventually have to appear, and you will meet them in the final match, so there is no need to rush.

In the following days.

The preliminary rounds continued, and Lu Sheng occasionally went back to check on Zhuang Jinyao and Zhuang Shang, spending the rest of his time traveling to other venues.

Over the course of several days, Lu Sheng had analyzed most of the beasts possessed by the contestants.

The preliminary rounds were basically completed on the fourth day, and even the slowest venues were completed on the fifth day.

The elimination rounds began immediately afterward, with contestants drawing lots again to select their opponents.

The tournament format is a single-elimination tournament, with one match determining the winner. The loser is eliminated and the winner advances. Each player can only choose one beast.

Regardless of how many contestants are assigned to a venue, each venue only has 2 qualifying spots to advance to the final round, also known as the top 64.

On the morning of the first day after the qualifiers ended, half an hour before the start of the match.

The venue staff pushed the lottery box and brought the live-streaming recording device to the preparation room of the 16 contestants who had advanced.

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Phew~"

Having already received the notification, Zhuang Jinyao took a deep breath and went outside with Zhuang Shang.

The staff member smiled slightly, gestured to the lottery box, and said, "Hello, both contestants. Please draw your numbers and show them to the recording beast. Which of you would like to go first?"

"I'll go first."

Zhuang Jinyao stepped forward, closed her eyes, reached into the lottery box, and after groping around for a while, grabbed a small ball.

After a pause of one second, Zhuang Jinyao withdrew her hand and nervously opened it.

On the small ball, the number '3' came into view.

"Number 3, no one else has drawn this number yet."

The staff member's words immediately made Zhuang Jinyao and Zhuang Shang nervous.

In the online live stream, the comments from the Kamikaze region were jumping around wildly.

[Please, please don't let me draw the same number twice!]

[Just pick any number, but whatever you do, don't use the number 3! Don't use the number 3!]

[I'm betting on my good brother, may Lord Qionghu protect me...]

The staff member looked at Zhuang Shang and said, "It's your turn, Zhuang Shang."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shang reached into the lottery box, felt around for a couple of moments, and then simply grabbed one and pulled it out.

Please, please don't let it be 3.

Zhuang Shang silently recited to himself, slowly moving his fingers away. When he saw the two arcs, his expression changed drastically.
