Chapter 281 - The Ultimate Menace
In the previous Plant-Beast Tournament, the champion’s ace familiar was a Superior King, which was already a rare and formidable rank in the Divine Tree Continent. After all, the continent's beastmasters didn’t have the same opportunities as those in Limitless City, where their familiars could repeatedly evolve to higher species ranks.
This time, however, three participants had entered with Overlords. The examiners from the great clans and the prodigies from other various factions were all left dumbfounded.
On top of an ancient towering tree in the distance, City Lord Ye and her senior watched the tournament as they engaged in discussion.
“An Overlord-rank dog familiar... Is that the beastmaster you’ve taken an interest in? What kind of tournament are you running? There’s that other young participant with an Overlord-rank plant familiar, too. Judging by his age, he’s even younger than my disciple and the beastmaster you favor!”
“How would I know? Senior, are you worried about your disciple? Is that why you came in person?” City Lord Ye asked cautiously. “The tournament has truly been full of surprises.”
Logically speaking, any beastmaster capable of contracting an Overlord wouldn’t care about some insignificant tournament. If she had known that another plantmaster had an Overlord, she wouldn’t have bothered inviting her senior’s disciple.
Three Overlords... This tournament’s difficulty just skyrocketed to an unprecedented level. Lu Ran will find it a lot harder to win the championship.
“You should worry about your own beastmaster instead.”
As the two Legendary-rank figures conversed, the tournament grounds remained in chaos.
“We should just deal with him right here.”
Although Yu Rui’s Ancient War Tree was overwhelmingly powerful, Gu Yu, the Floral Empress’ master, had her gaze fixed on Lu Ran. Her master had sent her to eliminate a certain beastmaster, and she was fairly certain that he was the target. To be honest, she had no interest in this tournament. If not for her master’s orders to gain experience, she wouldn’t have even thought about it.
