The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming - Chapter 651
Chapter 651: Chapter 645: Zodiac Mech
“What a pity,” Anders Roland’s eyes dimmed.
If only his Arcane Star Breakthrough had been a little faster, the Mammoth Titan might have been able to ignite the fire of its bloodline, instantly becoming king, or even utterly defeating David Jones, rather than being utterly crushed.
“The Mammoth Titan falls and loses its combat ability, winner: David Jones. Gerras Boris from Blunt Colledge, please come forth as the next contestant!” the referee announced.
With Blunt Colledge’s ace defeated, the remaining contestants posed no threat, and David Jones easily swept through all his opponents.
“Really good at hiding your skills! Clearly, your Frosty Dark Rat holds the Strength Level of peak Class V, its combat power only slightly less than the Mammoth Titan’s, yet you deliberately gave up resistance and hid the Pet Profile to let me sweep through,” he mumbled.
David Jones looked at the honest and simple big fellow standing before him, with dark skin, bushy eyebrows, and particularly bright white teeth, a strange expression in his eyes, but he didn’t expose him on the spot.
Unless the Blunt Colledge team can make a comeback from the losers’ bracket, there will be no chance of meeting again. At best, this guy could only set back the other losers’ bracket teams.
Listening to the surrounding cheers rising in a frenzy, team captain David Jones shook hands with Anders Roland after the match.
“Thank you for helping me break through,” Anders Roland said with gratitude.
He wasn’t an ungrateful person; without the Frost Wyvern’s psychic will shock, it would have been difficult for him to break through his shackles in such a short time and advance his Arcane Star.
“Your Talent is very strong,” David Jones nodded and praised, “To force out one-fifth of Rainbow’s strength, you are indeed among the best of the younger generation!”
Hearing David Jones’s words of slight satisfaction, and his expression that seemed to say you did your best, it’s not your fault, Anders Roland’s face stiffened slightly, and for some reason, his thoughts suddenly turned to his deceased father from his childhood.
“Strange, what am I thinking!” Anders Roland shook his head vigorously.
Meanwhile, in Glazewater College’s rest area.
“Damn it, how can we compete with that?”
After watching the match, the gentle-tempered Jane Pauline, regardless of her image, cursed in front of her beautiful teammates.
Her goal for leading the team in this competition was very clear and could be summed up in a few words.
Since Rosewood College and Peony Colledge were too strong, Glazewater College didn’t need to keep winning over them; they just had to beat Blunt Colledge and secure a place above the Five Greats in the end.
Therefore, Jane Pauline was the first to lose her composure after seeing Anders Roland’s Arcane Star Breakthrough, throwing image to the wind.
At the same time, the number of comments on the live streaming platform skyrocketed.
“Is this the worth of the Five Greats’ talent? Stronger when facing the strong, casually making breakthroughs during battle, what a pity still being defeated by the new Big Four!”
“What are you talking about upstairs? The new Big Four is a thing of the past. How can those three with mediocre talents even try to catch up with God David Jones? Now let’s all chant together: God David Jones is invincible!”
“6, you call the first of the Five Greats newcomers ‘mediocre in Talent’?”
“Oh no, I have this feeling that God David Jones is simply bullying the weak, who is really the first-year student!”
“After watching this match, I only have one thing to say, never mess with a first-year student from Rosewood College!”
“Indeed, God David Jones is not only beating first-rate Beast Taming colleges but also slicing through Blunt Colledge, another of the Five Greats, does this set another record?”
…
Across from the Wood Arena, Blake Easton nodded slightly, “Not bad, barely displaying the presence of Rosewood College!”
Next to him, an elderly man with a white beard furrowed his brow, “The Guild’s undercover line in the Sacred Soul Sect is cut off; it seems those rats can’t help themselves anymore!”
“What do you think about the Rosewood destruction incident?” Blake Easton asked with his arms crossed.
“Prophecies are just that, they can’t be taken too seriously,”
the old man chuckled. “Even the Emperor Pet, Purple Mist Butterfly, could hardly glimpse into the future of Rosewood City. Let alone a Star Moon Dragon of a Species Level that’s only at the King’s stage. The prophecies about Primordial End are a mix of truth and falsehood.”
“But that Star Moon Dragon was carefully nurtured by Lilith,”
David Jones said, and then he added, “This involves the safety of millions of lives. Even if there’s only a fraction of chance, we can’t afford to bet on it.”
Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man’s eyes flashed, “As long as I’m here, Rosewood City will not encounter any trouble. It doesn’t matter if we can’t afford to gamble.”
As one of the few Level I cities within Flowery Kingdom, equipped with a military force like the Big Four and these old fellows, Rosewood City’s defense could be said to be extremely strong. The number of legendary warriors alone even surpassed that of some Calamity level forbidden zones.
If there really were an Abyssal outbreak, even if the ancient texts recorded the arrival of a Semi-Fiend breaking through to this world, he could defend Rosewood City for a day, until reinforcements from the Federation of Trainer Guild could arrive.
Blake Easton fell silent for a while before finally mentioning a place, “What about Skypillar Island?”
The white-bearded old man’s expression suddenly became stern, his gaze meeting with Blake Easton’s.
…
Returning to the resting room, restraining the flattery of his team members, David Jones looked up at the ongoing competition on the large screen.
In his view, if even the player from Blunt Colledge, who seemed honest and straightforward, liked to play their cards close to the chest, then Peony Colledge would surely have hidden tactics.
As it happened, Peony Colledge was currently up against World Academy, renowned for its Pharmacy Department, whose players had a higher strength level than those from Dragonsoar Academy.
Unfortunately for them, the gap in strength with Peony Colledge was too great. Rudolf Sherwood didn’t even need to make a move; just with a mechanic named Martini Goldsmith, they had sent World Academy into the loser’s bracket.
The so-called mechanic is a Trainer who specializes in Pets of the Mechinery type.
The mecha in the hands of Martini Goldsmith, which could switch freely between a battle machine and a battle beast, also caught the attention of David Jones.
Three elegant and powerfully-sensed metallic horns of Flowery Kingdom red rose upwardly on it, flashing as if charging energy.
The sturdy arms, painted in red and white, carried extraordinary arcane force weapons; the chest was covered with protective armor, a mix of pure white and pitch black.
The legs, emitting a faint white glow, stood still and conveyed a mountain-like heft, unshakable even under the full charge of a Class V middle-level Green Rhinoceros.
Resembling Zhu Bajie and carrying an aura of technological breath, this mech, endowed with unmatched strength, could win battles with a single punch every time.
“Pet Name”: Zodiac Series Mecha – Pig Battle Armor (Fifth Generation Mecha Prototype)
“Pet Type”: Water, Mechinery type
“Species Level”: Epic Overlord (pseudo)
“Grade”: Class V apex (limited by mecha capabilities)
“Species Skill”: Zodiac Fusion, Zhu Bajie Form, Dark Water War Machine, Heavy Water Shield Armor, Power of Water Pig…

It contains a plasma arcane force cannon with destructive power comparable to a Level VII Heavenly Missile and can switch freely between combat states.
Note: There is a certain chance that the complete fusion of the Twelve Zodiac Mecha (first generation) can evolve into an “Emperor Mech” of the Six Directions.
“Roar?” (Can I eat it?)
The eager voice of the Gluttonous Beast suddenly sounded in David Jones’ mind.
