My cells devour all worlds.

"Sister, I'm back."

After receiving treatment, Zhuang Shang brought several tamed beasts to Zhuang Jinyao's preparation room. Having been eliminated, he no longer needed to wait in his own preparation room to go on stage.

Zhuang Jinyao stepped forward and gave Zhuang Shang a hug, comforting him, "Shang, you've done very well."

"I was a little luckier than you. If Master Zodo hadn't only recently mastered Super Evolution, I wouldn't have won either, but it was close."

Zhuang Shang didn't look too sad; in fact, he seemed quite cheerful. "Yeah, sis, I'm fine. I'm already very content. I never thought I could get this far."

If it weren't for Lu Sheng, he would still be taking the apprentice beast tamer exam at the dojo. He is already very satisfied with his current achievements.

Besides, he is still young and will have opportunities to go further in the future.

Zhuang Shang's gaze swept over his three tamed beasts: Xiao Ying, Shadow Leopard, and Xiong Da.

He clenched his fist. "We can definitely become stronger in the future!"

"Meow~" Xiaoying was the first to respond to Zhuang Shang, her eyes glowing green with fighting spirit.

"Aww~"

The shadowy leopard responded immediately and nuzzled against Zhuang Shang.

Big Bear nodded, its gaze involuntarily turning to Little Bear beside it. It had lost to Little Bear again, which made it a little resentful.

It seems I need to work harder in the future.

"It's good that you can understand."

Zhuang Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, her expression much more relaxed. "I estimate the quarterfinals will end tomorrow, and the championship and third-place matches will probably start the day after tomorrow. That person should be here by then."

She had stopped thinking about the top eight and started considering reporting to Yan Yixian instead.

Today's round of 16 was already so difficult, Zhuang Jinyao didn't have much hope of making it into the top 4.

Although they had undergone special training in the mental world for a long time, their combat skills were in no way inferior to those athletes, and were even stronger.

However, the super evolution of the beasts is a hurdle, and the number of beasts they can contract is much smaller in comparison.

After her beast evolved, her strength was much greater than before. If Zhuoduo hadn't been less proficient in mastering it, she might have been eliminated in the top 16 today.

Their connection with the beasts is still too weak; at most, it's only at the initial stage of mutual understanding, far from true unity.

Zhuang Jinyao also wanted to reach a level of unity with Er Gouzi and the others, but this was not something that could be achieved simply by thinking about it.

It truly requires two people to spend a long time together, understand each other's hearts, share life and death, and have an extremely deep bond to achieve this.

Although she tried in the mental world, she failed. Even though she knew it was fake, she couldn't get the feeling out of it at all. She simply couldn't do that level now.

But if you can't do it, you can't do it; you can't force it.

Zhuang Jinyao relaxed and pulled Zhuang Shang back to the sofa by the window to sit down. She also handed a bottle of milk to him and Xiao Ying's beasts.

"Here, you've all been injured. Drink some milk to help you recover. Everyone, drink some."

Zhuang Jinyao opened a bottle for herself and drank it with relish.

Zhuang Shang took the milk and casually asked, "What kind of milk is this?"

"Let me see."

Zhuang Jinyao turned the bottle around and glanced at it. "Wild dog milk, it seems to be a specialty of Shiyuan City. It was delivered by the staff. I heard it's very nutritious and is specially for us contestants to supplement our diet."

What the hell?

Lu Sheng, who was deeply engrossed in the simulation, was suddenly jolted awake. Wild dog milk? It seems he needs to taste what it's like.

Not long after.

Lu Sheng drank the uniquely flavored wild dog milk while watching the round of 16 with Zhuang Jinyao.

The round of 16 was successfully completed that day, and the even more exciting quarterfinals will begin tomorrow.

The more Zhuang Jinyao looked, the more alarmed she became, and the calmer her mind became.

At this crucial juncture, no player is holding back anymore; they all use every means at their disposal.

Apart from her, it seems there isn't a single player who hasn't mastered Super Evolution.

One of the contestants didn't even need to use Mega Evolution to easily defeat his opponent who had mastered it.

It's completely different from her narrow victory.

Zhuang Jinyao did not believe that the other party had not mastered super evolution.

Then what's the point of fighting?

Zhuang Jinyao is already prepared to go through the motions tomorrow.

unless……

Zhuang Jinyao glanced at Lu Sheng, who had downed two bottles of wild dog milk in a row. If Lu Sheng were to make a move, there might still be a chance.

But it seems to have been of no use.

Once the initial contract is signed, the connection may only be at the stage of resonance.

Zhuang Jinyao felt that if it were Lu Sheng, the connection might be even weaker, but the level of perception was uncertain.

In this way, they can't unleash their full potential, and they seem helpless against opponents capable of super evolution.

Although Lu Sheng is a divine beast, there are many other contestants who have divine beasts among those who have advanced to the top eight.

Some contestants' tamed beasts weren't divine beasts, but in terms of strength, Zhuang Jinyao felt they were already no weaker than some divine beasts.

For example, Jin Xia, the player who defeated Zhuang Shang today, comes from the Xiye region, and his second tamed beast, the Golden Spirit Monkey, is particularly powerful.

Although Zhuang Shang's Xiao Ying was weakened by the first beast, the opponent still managed to defeat three opponents in one battle.

Moreover, he didn't even use Mega Evolution; he relied solely on his own superior strength.

In the round of 16, it is extremely rare for someone to win three consecutive matches.

We might not see each other even once every few years.

Logically, the skill gap between players should narrow as the game progresses, and there should be no situation where one player completely dominates the other.

But Kim Ha actually did it.

Moreover, the one who was defeated was Zhuang Shang.

Zhuang Jinyao suspected that Jin Xia might have even more powerful beasts hidden away that he hadn't used yet.

In contrast, Lu Sheng has never really made a move; perhaps he is one of those mythical beasts with special abilities but not good at fighting.

Lu Sheng can heal, make other tamed beasts stronger, create useful spiritual worlds, and store things...

Zhuang Jinyao guessed that it was probably because Lu Sheng couldn't possibly know everything, right?

This explains why Lu Sheng didn't want to form a contract with her; Lu Sheng is most likely not good at fighting.

That's how it should be.

Zhuang Jinyao felt she had guessed the answer.

That evening, back in the rest area, Zhuang Jinyao chatted for a while with Xia Tun and the others who were far away in the Shenfeng region.

Xia Tun asked on the phone, "Xiao Yao, are you and Xiao Shang coming back after the League Tournament?"

Their banners and various preparations are underway, just waiting for the two to return so they can give them a surprise.

Zhuang Jinyao thought of Ning Chuan and replied, "We won't come back for now. We still have some things to take care of here, and it will probably take a while."

"Oh, okay, you must tell us when you get back..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Jinyao played with her phone for a while before falling into a deep sleep.

Although there was a medical team to treat him, the competition was still very exhausting.

Lu Sheng stayed to the side and didn't visit any other contestants. In the past few days, he had already visited everyone he could.

Even the referees, staff, and high-achieving spectators were not spared.

After several days of analysis, a lot more material has been analyzed.

Even the extremely difficult material to analyze is nearing completion; it should be analyzed within the next day or two.

As for the deduction of the contract and super evolution, Lu Sheng's last plan was soon perfected.

If this doesn't work, Lu Sheng doesn't plan to continue.

People should learn to be flexible and not get stuck on a single point.

Lu Sheng thought to himself with tears in his eyes.
