My cells devour all worlds.

"Welcome to the quarterfinals of the League Tournament... Let's see which two players will be in the first match..."

As the commentator spoke, the big screen lit up, flashing between the eight contestants' avatars before finally locking onto two, who were then placed on opposite sides.

The commentator took a closer look and announced, "It's Jin Xia from the Nishino region... and Zhuang Jinyao from the Kamikaze region... Please welcome both players to the stage..."

As the sound spread, the audience from the Kamikaze region in the stands immediately erupted in groans, and even those who were fans of Zhuang Jinyao felt helpless for her.

"Damn it, of all people, we had to run into Master Jin Xia."

"Won't Zhuang Jinyao and her brother clash with Master Jin Xia? Are they going to both lose to Master Jin Xia?"

"What a pity. If they had faced one of the other players, they might have had a chance to win, but against Master Jin Xia, it's definitely over..."

It's not that they're pessimistic, but the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, as anyone can see from the matches these past few days.

The online sentiment is overwhelmingly negative; even those who like Zhuang Jinyao wouldn't speak recklessly without thinking.

"What a pity. If they could master super evolution, with their fighting skills, they might have made it into the top four and tied our Kamikaze region's league record."

At the Panda Dojo, Hu Ao sighed softly, his face full of regret.

"Fortunately, both of them are still young and have a long time to develop their relationship with beast taming. They still have a chance, and they might be able to break our Kamikaze region's record in the future."

Hu Ao glanced at Chen Xinshui beside him, "Maybe next time I'll break your record. I've already told the two siblings that they'll come to my boxing gym after they come back for a while. I'll teach them how to improve their connection with their beasts."

"You? You must be joking!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinshui raised her eyelids, looked Hu Ao up and down, and said disdainfully, "How dare you, a contestant in the top 64, presume to give them pointers? Are you worthy? Don't ruin them with your teaching. If anyone should be teaching, it should be me."

???

Hu Ao glared at him, clearly displeased. "What are you saying? What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm just a top 64 contestant? I was just unlucky, unlike you who are just..."

Before Hu Ao could finish speaking, Chen Xinshui laughed in exasperation and retorted, "Having bad luck for five or six years in a row?"

Hu'ao's mouth froze, and Aba couldn't say a word for a long time, his old face noticeably redder than before.

"Never mind that, I'm just unlucky, I've always been unlucky..."

"You seem unconvinced? How about a match?"

"Let's practice then, who's afraid of who? Wait for me... to finish watching the match first..."

at the same time.

Major media outlets in the Kamikaze region have already written their reports on the league, ready to release them as soon as the matches end.

What?! "Thunderous roar in the desert! The Divine Wind Twins shine on the league stage, Zhuang Jinyao and Zhuang Shang tear off the 'weakest region' label with their strength!"

What?! 'Historic breakthrough in the Kamikaze Division! The Zhuang siblings team up to reach the quarterfinals, ending years of league records!'

Things like, "From failing to reach the round of 64 to securing a spot in the quarterfinals, this brother and sister have made the world rediscover the Kamikaze region..." and so on.

Johor Bahru, Johor Bahru Dojo.

Staff from Johor Bahru's official media are interviewing people like Xia Tun to obtain valuable first-hand information.

Faced with questions from the cameras and staff, Xia Tun, dressed in a neat uniform, spoke fluently and eloquently, even wiping away tears halfway through her speech.

"I've been at the Johor Bahru Dojo for decades, watching them grow up. Xiao Yao and Xiao Shang have always been incredibly hardworking and resilient since they were little. They put in many times more effort than others in training... They started helping the dojo with all sorts of things when they were young, like raising and training animals... They're good at everything... They're well-rounded in terms of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor... By the way, have you ever seen Johor Bahru at four in the morning...?"

Pu Yan didn't go. She simply couldn't bring herself to say those words with a straight face; she was afraid she would burst out laughing halfway through.

the other side.

Origin Stadium.

In the preparation room.

Zhuang Shang encouraged Zhuang Jinyao.

"Sister, keep it up! Maybe Master Jin Xia's other tamed beast isn't that powerful."

"I hope so."

Zhuang Jinyao didn't think so; the other party might have also mastered the useless super evolution.

She stood in the center of the preparation room, calmed herself down, and pressed the button next to her.

"Click~"

The ground slowly sank with Zhuang Jinyao, and after arriving at the designated location, it began to teleport her to the arena.

A short while later.

The sound came from both sides of the spacious ice field arena at the same time, and Zhuang Jinyao and Jin Xia appeared inside the arena one after another.

This time, the competition venue she was drawn was still more favorable to Zhuang Jinyao, but Zhuang Jinyao had no confidence at all.

However, this is also an opportunity for experience.

The referee raised his hand to signal and slowly turned to Jin Xia's side to confirm whether the contestant was ready. This was also a good opportunity for the contestants to exchange trash talk.

However, the referee didn't have much hope; he hadn't encountered such a player in a long time.

However, Jin Xia did not make a gesture immediately. Listening to the discussions around him, he smiled faintly and said:

"Gemini Killers? Ha~ I'm sorry, I didn't want this either, but unfortunately you're unlucky~"

After he finished speaking, he made the gesture he had prepared.

The referee turned to Zhuang Jinyao, his eyes filled with expectation.

Zhuang Jinyao pursed her lips, made the prepared gesture, and said nothing, much to the referee's disappointment.

This is understandable, though, since it's a losing situation and there's no point in saying anything.

He glanced at the two men, put on a whistle, and gestured with both hands to start the match.

next second.

"Beep—"

The instant the urgent whistle blew.

Lights shone on both sides simultaneously.

"Er Gouzi, come out and take your beating!"

With a thought, Zhuang Jinyao summoned Er Gouzi.

"Awoo~"

In an instant, as Er Gouzi appeared, a cold wind whistled, snowflakes fluttered, and the temperature on the field dropped another point.

Without any hesitation, Zhuang Jinyao rode Er Gouzi and went all out, transforming into a blurry white shadow as she charged towards Jin Xia amidst a flurry of snowflakes.

Jin Xia summoned a beast he had used in the competition before – the Tide Otter.

A large white otter.

Faced with the onslaught from Zhuang Jinyao and Er Gouzi, they retaliated with waves of energy.

The Tide Otter wasn't very strong, and Zhuang Jinyao and Er Gouzi seized several opportunities to inflict considerable damage in just three minutes.

Just as he was about to launch a crucial attack, Kim Ha waved his hand.

"Come back, Tide Otter!"

As the light flashed, the water waves dissipated, replaced by a sharp, metallic aura that stung the eyes.

Zhuang Jinyao's expression changed, and with a thought, Er Gouzi twisted his body and instantly retreated a hundred steps.

Despite winning against Jin Xia's beast, Zhuang Jinyao showed no joy whatsoever.

Yesterday, she studied Jin Xia's match videos and found that the opponent always did this: first, summon a mediocre beast to let the opponent win first, thinking that she had it in the bag.

Then Jin Xia unleashed his Golden Monkey, achieving a one-versus-three victory, a pattern that has been repeated in every match from the qualifiers to now.

Clearly, Kim Ha still holds this view.

As expected of a powerful beast that has achieved multiple victories against three opponents, the Golden Spirit Monkey has already left a striking crimson mark on Er Gouzi's left foreleg in just that one encounter.

The wound was quickly covered and frozen by ice and snow, and Er Gouzi exhaled cold air, his eyes becoming increasingly dark blue.

In their line of sight, golden light shimmered, and a monkey clad in golden armor slowly appeared. It was not large, only a head taller than Jin Xia, but the sharp golden aura emanating from it made people's pupils sting even from a distance.

Jin Xia quickly donned a set of golden armor, and a golden longsword materialized in his hand, its tip pointing at Zhuang Jinyao.

"I hope you can let my golden spirit beast have its fill just this once..."

at the same time.

In the preparation room, Zhuang Shang nervously stared out the window.

Beside him, Lu Sheng on the sofa suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot. "Damn it, I failed again. I'll deduce your @#￥*……"
