Chapter 272 – Beating Summoned Beasts Too

In the next three matches, no matter what methods the opponents used, they couldn’t do anything to Su Hao’s Summoned Beasts.

Su Hao also successfully advanced to the top sixteen.

These Summoners discovered that Su Hao’s Summoned Beasts were simply unkillable!

For example, one Summoner used a feint. The Big-Mouth Beast successfully bit onto the neck of the “Pervert King” Egg-Stealing Dragon, biting its head off and letting it fall to the ground. Then, they discovered that the head that had fallen to the ground was still blinking and curiously looking at the Big-Mouth Beast that had bitten it off.

A moment later, the headless body walked over, picked up its own head, and reattached it…

Another time, a sneak attack succeeded, biting the “Destroyer King” Snow Wolf. However, the bite was springy and couldn’t be bitten through!

How could they fight this?

After the second round ended, it was time for hype again.

The top sixteen were fresh out of the oven, and Catalyst sparked fervent worldwide discussion, even releasing a list of championship favorites, with Su Hao surprisingly ranked third.

Seeing this, Yashan scoffed, “What a trash ranking, so short-sighted. After fighting for so long, don’t they understand who the champion will be? Trash ranking!”

Then Yashan opened the forum and, with flying fingers, the Harmony netizens started arguing.

Ten fingers couldn’t defeat four hands; Yashan was quickly defeated.

He picked up his newly bought phone and called his programming teacher, saying, “Hello! Teacher, it’s me, Bai Jingyi. Teacher, can you teach me how to write a program for Harmony people to argue online?”

There were six days of rest, then the third round, the ‘Top Sixteen Qualifiers’, would begin, from which four finalists would be selected to enter the fourth round, the finals.

This time, the top sixteen matchups were different from Harmony’s usual random draws.

After the second round concluded, the matchups for the sixteen Summoners were pre-arranged, with opponents assigned.

The advantage was that Summoners could know their opponents in advance and then do everything possible to gather information and arrange targeted training.

This arrangement clearly placed higher demands on the Summoners.

It would also make the matches more interesting.

The audience’s anticipation was at its peak.

The organizers had clearly put a lot of thought into this!

Su Hao also learned his opponent: Summoner number 08158, named Mo Zongliang.

At this point, Su Hao had basically achieved his goal; all that was left was to wait for the third and fourth rounds and crush everyone!

Su Hao was determined to win this championship.

Before going to sleep that night, Su Hao asked Yashan, “Yashan, why have Sister Bai and the others been going to the west side of the city so much lately?”

Yashan put down his work and replied, “Boss Jing Zhong, do you remember one of our old clients? Her name was Moli Hua. Her family lives in Saint Master City. Lately, Sister Bai and the others have been going to Moli Hua’s house whenever they have free time. Hu Sheng is also tagging along, looking like he’s got a bit of a crush on that Moli Hua.”

Su Hao was speechless about Hu Sheng; wherever there was a pretty girl, he seemed to be there.

Yashan added, “There was also someone who claimed to be Moli Hua’s older brother earlier, named Mo Zongliang, I think. He had some conflict with Sister Bai and the others, saying, ‘I never knew Xiao Li had friends, where did you all come from? What are your intentions, are you after our family’s money?’ That guy seemed a bit off, but after I beat him and his Summoned Beasts a couple of times, his condition clearly improved. It’s not a big deal.”

Su Hao asked curiously, “You beat up his Summoned Beasts too?”

Yashan scratched his head. “Mainly, he spoke disrespectfully to Sister Bai and Xiao Tian, and even got physical. I got impulsive and couldn’t hold back. Don’t worry, Boss Jing Zhong. It was in their manor, no one else saw.”

Yashan’s promotion this time was perfectly timed!

Su Hao nodded. “Alright, keep an eye on Sister Bai’s side. If things go south, I give you permission to bury the guy directly and then take Sister Bai and the others to leave.”

Yashan immediately nodded. “Understood, Boss Jing Zhong.”

Representatives from the various major families within the Custodial Bureau gathered for a meeting at a small mountain villa outside the city.

A basic profile of Su Hao’s Summoned Beasts was placed in front of everyone.

A middle-aged man presented using a PPT. “…In summary, the ‘new type of Summoned Beasts’ possess the following three characteristics:

Stronger physical energy;

To some extent, they defy normal biological characteristics;

They exhibit clear skill level traits, with different entries listed;

They evolved from basic Summoned Beasts.”

After the middle-aged man finished, an intellectual woman with gold-rimmed glasses immediately asked, “So, what is the value of these Summoned Beasts?”

Others nodded, expressing their confusion.

The middle-aged man controlled the PPT and began playing two videos: one of Su Hao and Yashan subduing seven people armed with Tasers on the street, and another of Yashan at Moli Hua’s house, single-handedly defeating Moli Hua’s brother, Mo Zongliang, and all his Summoned Beasts.

When the videos ended, everyone gasped, their faces filled with disbelief.

Humans could physically contend with Summoned Beasts?

The middle-aged man smiled. He understood everyone’s surprise because he had felt the same way when he first saw the videos.

After everyone had processed the information, the middle-aged man said, “We have reason to suspect that Bai Jing Zhong also possesses the strength to defeat Summoned Beasts. Keep in mind, they are only ten years old, which is simply incredible.”

He paused, then continued, “So the question is, how did they acquire such immense power? In other words, how did these Summoned Beasts evolve from ordinary Summoned Beasts into their current state?”

Finally, the middle-aged man concluded, “Bai Jing Zhong and Bai Jing Yi must have mastered some advanced biotechnology that allows humans or Summoned Beasts to wield extraordinary power! If not them, then it must be the people behind them.”

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses asked, “So what are your plans?”

The middle-aged man smiled. “It’s the usual approach, isn’t it? Harmony breeds wealth! Since Bai Jing Zhong shows interest in various technologies, we’ll satisfy him. We’ll use various technologies to trade with him and gradually uncover the secrets.”

A man with a round face chuckled, “As long as the custodial technology isn’t traded, nothing else matters.”

The middle-aged man said, “Of course, that’s our core. As for other technologies, they are all insignificant. If we can exchange them for valuable supernatural creature technology, that would be the best outcome. It’s conceivable that in the future, each of us will have the opportunity to personally wield supernatural power.”

Another man with a goatee slowly calmed down, then hesitated, “Should we strengthen our cooperation with him? If the person is poached by the Summoner Association, then it’s all useless.”

The middle-aged man confidently smiled, “Don’t worry about him cooperating with the Summoner Association, because the Summoner Association has already had a conflict with Bai Jingzhong. Ten days ago, Councilor Pan of the Summoner Association sent someone to assassinate Bai Jingzhong with a sniper rifle. Guess what happened?”

The crowd, connecting it to Councilor Pan’s mysterious death, immediately linked it to this matter and widened their eyes, “Could it be…”

The middle-aged man chuckled, “This is just speculation, there’s no evidence. We don’t know the process, only that the Knowing Bird Sniper Squad disappeared that day, and then Councilor Pan was shot and killed in his office. And the target of the assassination, Bai Jingzhong, is still alive and kicking, participating in the Summoner Competition.”

The middle-aged man took a sip of water and said, “Everyone, let’s speculate boldly according to the logic of the events, ignoring whether it’s difficult to achieve, and perhaps you’ll find the corresponding answer.”

The crowd exchanged glances, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes, but they quickly composed themselves.

The middle-aged man then slowed his speech and said, “Therefore, regarding the proposal to allocate 10% of the reserve funds to cooperate with Bai Jingzhong and research new Summoned Beasts, we can now vote!”

Ten votes in favor, zero against!

Unanimously passed.
