Chapter 494 — Too Cruel, Too Savage
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 4 of 13
"Squeak squeak squeak, but I'm only in charge of commentary. Besides me, there's one more who will be responsible for protecting the venue and serving as referee. From here on, the safety of this place is in his hands."
The black phone looked toward where the seven chairmen had just left. Moments later, a youth with exploding muscles, wearing a black sleeveless t-shirt, purple trousers, and a mechanical tactical goggle over his head, slowly sat down in the middle seat where the seven chairmen had been sitting.
Then it raised its burly legs and looked toward the main arena.
The black phone:"It's him, it's him, it's him! The legend of the former world, the legendary beast tamer, Mr. Lei Yi!!"
"This phone is so annoying," Shi Cen said.
The world legend was him now. Could they stop randomly handing that title to other people?
As expected, one title alone really was not enough. It just so happened he had come to the Alliance Island; he would go see about finding an even more impressive one afterward.
"Right? Right?" Lin also agreed that the phone was annoying.
Still, at this very moment, the eyes of the whole world truly had gathered on this youth named Lei Yi.
He was no older than fifty, yet had already reached the legendary tier, and so he looked very young as well. That the Divine Wind Nation possessed a newly advanced legend was no longer a secret; now that people finally saw the man himself, the beast tamers of every nation were all taken aback.
"Lei Tangshuo says that the rumored newly advanced beast tamer must be the youngest legendary beast tamer at present."
"Indeed, a legend under fifty, still in his prime."
"So it is actually him serving as referee."
"Makes sense. After all, what comes next is the guild-master-level sparring between nations, and only legends have the qualification to serve as referees."
The arrival of the Divine Wind's Lei Tangshuo was quite astonishing. This legendary beast tamer, in the very prime of his strength, instantly dragged up certain unpleasant memories for quite a few experts of his generation.
But his appearance was only natural.
The other legends of the seven nations were already elders of the previous era; thanks to the excessive strain of the Totem War, their bodily functions had already begun to decline.
Those like the Eastern Radiance and Divine Wind mechanical legends, who had remade themselves as machines, already avoided taking action whenever they could, to prevent excessive wear.
At such a time, only a new legend like Lei Tangshuo could have energy enough to serve as referee for the Alliance Conference.
Though he was young, the capable came first. The guild masters of the various nations might have seniority, but before a legendary tier they truly fell a grade short; he did indeed have the qualification.
"Let us begin," Lei Tangshuo said after sitting down.
The black phone added:"No doubt the representative beast tamers of each nation are ready as well, so let us begin, begin, begin! The rules this time are the two-pet 1V1 format, a round-robin points system. That is to say, every representative beast tamer must face the representatives of the six other nations one by one!"
The reason the rules were not a full-team showdown but two pets in 1V1 was also because each representative beast tamer had six matches to fight; a full-team battle would be too draining.
"Next, I will conduct the draw..."
"Whoa, the first one drawn for battle is..."
The black phone projected the draw into midair, and through the live broadcast the audience could clearly see the names on it.
Match one: president of the Snowfield Nation Beast Taming Association, Star God Monkarov, VS Eastern Radiance Beast Taming Association member, World Legend Shi Jin.
The moment those names appeared, the Eastern Radiance side erupted in a chorus of "holy crap."
Who would have thought the very first match would be so thrilling.
