Chapter 1495: Childlike Innocents, Trainers, and Contract Partners

Jiang Yi skipped the topic of tactical discussions in the Cradle of Life in Jingshan Palace.

At least, change place!

We can still sit on the same bed innocently and look into the future, but there is ultimately a sad barrier between us, and that is the "suspicion" of the queen.

Let us surpass the wisdom of the Great Compassionate Tree King from other aspects.

For example, have a trainer duel with the Great Ci King.

"So Miss Hainiya is also a contestant!" Xiao Gong's surprised voice came from the training ground.

She just found out that Hai Nye was an intermediate cultivator who had passed the assessment of the "Trainer and Partner Center", an unrated trainer... and also a contestant sent by the "Trainer and Partner Center".

The "Trainer and Partner Center" is not considered the official organization for organizing the competition, so it is reasonable for them to send players to participate in the competition. The real officials are the Lotus Temple and the Institute of the Church.

Lord Little Jixiang Grass King plans to hold this competition like the "College Championship", a competition held every four years.

The competition venue is very luxurious. After all, the battle is different from the "College Friendship Championship", so it is held in a secret place.

The secret realm gate is the end of the competition passage arranged by the "Trainer and Partner Center".

The secret realm is vast, like a mountain forest, with huge green lotus leaves as big as a thousand-meter square, yellow flowers as big as mountains, vines that reach the sky, flowing waterfalls, and a slightly gray blue sky that exudes a fighting atmosphere.

Jiang Yi cast a magical spell on the secret realm, allowing the main venue, called "Green Lotus Leaf", to change into different terrains, such as desert terrain and lake terrain, to make the competition take care of the contracted partners of trainers from different living environments as much as possible.

The trainer will command from a small lotus leaf high up at both ends of the main venue.

The huge screen is in the clouds, and the auditorium is also high up, surrounded by mountains, and can accommodate thousands of people. Well, you need tickets. This is a way to make money.

Those who don’t buy tickets can watch the broadcast from outside.

The secret realm has added a "Gate of Resurrection" to revive lives that died accidentally in battle, allowing trainers and battle partners to fight to their heart's content and with all their strength.

However, the game generally requires that the winner be determined when the opponent loses its combat effectiveness and is unable to attack.

And it won't lead to life and death.

Cherishing the lives of your partners is a must for every trainer.

But at the same time, a trainer also needs to be able to suppress his worries.

"Seeing your fellow mushroom beasts get hurt during training and battle is the first lesson a trainer faces. In the beginning, when I was fighting with my friends, I was very strong and my companions were never hurt. That was until I challenged the powerful monsters in the wilderness and the giant machine of the Demon Mountain."

"It was the first time my partner got hurt. It also made me realize for the first time that my feelings towards the mushroom beasts and my contract partners are definitely not just about tools."

Hai Niye said, "Trust them! Even if you can't bear it, believe in their fighting ability."

"And the forced recall and storage of the 'Mind and Wisdom Orb' is also a trump card in your hand to protect the life of your partner."

This is the only special recall device that was not researched by the Academy of Religious Affairs, but provided by Liyue.

I heard that the prototype is a magical technique that can enter and exit caves.

"Yeah, I know! It's also important to take care of your partner's emotions, whether in battle or training." Xiao Gong said, "Tacit training does not mean forcing a partner who doesn't like to exercise to exercise, and tacit fighting does not mean arbitrarily interrupting the fighting will of the contracted partner that is burning like a flame."

"I heard from Jiang Yi that the fighting will of contract partners is very strong. A mushroom beast once broke through the control of the first version of the Mind and Wisdom Orb and the loss of control caused by the frenzy potion under the power of bondage, and fought for its partner."

"By the way. You are going to the competition, right? I will cheer for you!"

"As for me! I will probably have to continue training for two days."

"It's a good opportunity to see the strength of the contestants."

The competition that begins now is a seven-day qualifying round. Two days after the end of the qualifying round, if anyone is not convinced, they can challenge the opponent who passed the qualifying round to obtain the opponent's qualification to participate in the real competition.

Hai Niye left and Jiang Yi entered the training ground.

"Come on, Xiao Gong, let's go to the special audience seats." Jiang Yi said hello to the four fire mushroom beasts and Xiao Gong, "Take 'Hua Huo', 'Huo Hua', 'Huo Huo' as well."

"Hehe, then I'll take advantage of you." Xiao Gong quickly packed up the snacks he bought for the mushroom beasts, and went with Jiang Yi to the audience seats that were half-closed and hung like a flower bud lantern, with the best view of the stadium.

There were fungus people flying across the sky, assisting the Thirty Man Group in maintaining order.

After all, trainer is a new profession. The thirty-man group can trust the mushroom beasts, the followers of the Forest King, but it is difficult to completely trust the slimes, the flower-lizards, the young rock dragons... these dangerous creatures sitting in the audience seats with humans.

The whole scene seemed as if demons and monsters were dancing with humans.

Live broadcast starts.

Merchants and scholars from all over the world were all excited about this grand ceremony.

"With such close proximity, these contract partners really won't suddenly attack people?"

"He looks more obedient than my little yellow one!"

"Have you bought the Mind Orb? Can you share your experience with me? If it works well, we... can also add some 'new members' to the Gilded Brigade."

"It's a bit of a shame. I'm in Mond and I didn't buy a ticket, so I can't go to Port Omos to watch the game."

"Come on, I'm from Liyue, and I can't buy a spectator ticket in Omos Port. I can only watch the game outside the Secret Realm."

"Inazuma floating spirit versus Sumeru mushroom beast, young rock dragon lizard versus slime... the betting is open, the betting is open, a little gambling for fun..."

"It's a pity that this hall master doesn't have time to go abroad, otherwise, I would send my contract partner Qiqi to kill everyone."

"I...I'm not..."

"Rare ghost soul attribute. Wait, this zombie isn't one! She's a fairy..."

Hu Tao, Qi Qi, and Chang Sheng have entered the live broadcast room.

Changsheng’s comment was deleted halfway through.

"Well said, I'll send Changsheng to participate next time!"

Baizhu happily joined in the fun.

"You want to die! I'm the trainer, you're my contract partner!"

Changsheng was very dissatisfied.

Who taught you this medical skill? Who is your trainer? Who is your contract partner? Don't you have any idea? Baishu?

Jiang Yi and Xiao Gong took their seats.

Nashida's entry did not attract much attention, as she had long learned to make everyone ignore her magic.

Although the Ministry of Education had arranged for her and Jiang Yi to give a speech at the end of today's competition to encourage the contestants and give everyone a surprise, there was no need for them to show up now and disturb everyone, making the cheering people feel constrained.

The fungus man made tea for Jiang Yi.

Lan Fu Po also came here to watch the battle, carrying some fruits.

Suddenly, it noticed that someone's gaze was wrong!

Logically speaking, only the God of Man and His Majesty the King of Grass can see it in the audience seats of this private room.

"Is this... Lannaro?" Xiao Gong spoke softly, as if afraid that the sound would disturb the other person.

"Hmm?" Nashida turned around.

"I understand. Red Nala has not grown up yet." Lan Fupo said, "Time is very important to Nala. Nala will go with time, remembering a lot and forgetting a lot."

"But the red Nala is different..."

"I have seen you talking to the kids at the training ground. You know what Nala was thinking when she was little. The passion in her heart was pure and as warm as the sun."

"It's Nara who is... trustworthy."

"Hehe!" Xiao Gong scratched his head, "I feel a little embarrassed now."

"Lannaro is a fantasy creature in the eyes of adults... But how can the barrier of fantasy block a 'child' who has countless fantasy creatures in his own world?" Nashida smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"You have a childlike heart just like me." Jiang Yi gave Xiao Gong an apple and praised himself at the same time.

"Yes! Yes! Mr. Monster, the most childlike person..." Xiao Gong took out the fireworks candy that would jump and bloom in the mouth, "I wonder if you two have tasted it? Mr. Monster's 'secret weapon' that captures people's hearts."

"Tap, tap, tap. Fireworks will explode in your mouth."

While everyone was sharing cakes and candies, the following competition began.

An extremely passionate host from the life theory school introduced the contestants and their contract partners on a suspended platform in the sky.

The morning glory in the secret realm turned into speakers that echoed throughout the venue.

"What kind of contract partners did our two players send to the field..."

"Ah! This is the Mushroom Beast Team of the Water-Ice combination, a team that focuses on freezing and healing..."

"Look over here..."

Four hideous creatures crawled out from the pool at the edge of the lotus leaves, their red crowns of thorns looking like flaming flames.

The brass-colored armor covered the entire body, and the powerful tails collided with each other, knocking out brilliant sparks and making the dull sound of steel echo in the stadium.

"Crown of Thorns!"

"The messenger of the legendary Crocodile King."

"An ancient creature that lives in the waters of the great rivers."

"Look at the brass-colored armor. It gives the thorn-crowned crocodile, which is already covered in armor, a stronger defense. The steel-toothed iron beak embedded with teeth is flashing a terrifying cold light."

"Although their movement speed has been sacrificed after leaving the water, after the special training of the trainer, these four Crowned Crocodiles undoubtedly have strong and powerful muscles, and their bodies are also larger than ordinary Crowned Crocodiles."

"In the forest, there has always been a legend about three ferocious animals, namely the Crocodile King, the Long-maned Tiger Raja, and the Pack Beast King... At this moment, our trainer, you have undoubtedly brought four new 'Crocodile Kings' wearing the crystallization of human technology to the arena."

The audience watching the live broadcast from afar didn't expect that it was possible to play like this, putting armor on the crocodile.

"They don't look very ferocious. Ordinary adventurers can't break the defense of these crocodiles."

"but……"

"It's slow to begin with. Isn't it a waste to face the freezing team?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fight back if I get beaten later."

"Based on common sense... I believe that the envoy of the Crocodile King cannot defeat the followers of the Forest King..."

"Is there something going on up there?"

"Just tell me whether the crocodile can beat the mushroom beast!"

"Perhaps there is something else behind that brass armor?"

Well, after the opening, the mystery was quickly revealed.

It is... "special material with elemental resistance".

However, there are no miracles.

The Crown of Thorns Crocodile, which is a cold-blooded animal, faced the Fire Fungus Beast, Rock Fungus Beast, Water Slime, Rock Slime... It might have a chance to win when wearing armor, but facing the combination of water and ice fungus beasts, it was still frozen stiff and slow, suffered huge magic damage, and was defeated.

Steel. For many monsters, their bones are made of "steel bones". Although the mushroom beast does not belong to this category and cannot fight against the crown-of-thorns crocodile physically, it can easily defeat the crown-of-thorns crocodile by standing at a distance and spitting water balls and ice cones.

"Ahem! It can be seen that this contestant truly loves the Crown of Thorns Crocodile, which is why he chose it as his contract partner and armed it, but unfortunately..."

"But don't be discouraged. Each of our contestants has three chances to challenge. This ensures that the contestants who have the hope of advancing will not be eliminated early because they encounter the champion candidate or the restraining team in advance. As for those who are unlucky all three times, I'm sorry! Luck is also a part of the game."
