Someone, visibly excited, stepped forward, rubbing his fists eagerly: "A wild Morning Star quality! Don’t stop me, I’m going to contract it!"

Someone nearby quickly reached out to stop him: "Save it, is a Pet Beast of this caliber something you can handle?"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, immediately extinguishing the burning passion in the previous person’s heart. He stopped in his tracks and let out a long sigh: "True, a Tier Three Pet Beast of Morning Star quality. My Pet Beast would probably be wiped out in an instant."

"But... is there really a Beastmaster here who can defeat this Pet Beast?"

"I’m afraid not even Mulate could do it unless several Beastmasters joined forces."

"But once they join forces, who would the Pet Beast belong to?"

The moment those words were spoken, a crescent-shaped flame condensed from the void at lightning speed, heading straight towards the surging water column!

Boom!

A massive explosion echoed around, as the collision between water column and flame created steam.

Yet in just a moment, the crescent-shaped flame broke through the water column, its momentum not diminishing but rising, continuing its charge towards the Furious Wave Crocodile!

Xia Heng furrowed his brows, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

On the finals stage, the Flame Cloud Falcon’s Fire Type attack also ruthlessly crushed the water column of the Furious Wave Crocodile.

A fleeting thought crossed his mind, and Xia Heng suppressed his inner unease, with thoughts emerging: "Avoid it first, then use Vortex Strangulation."

"Roar!"

With an angry roar, the Furious Wave Crocodile swung its massive tail, displaying agility and nimbleness unbefitting its enormous body, swiftly moving to the other side over the scorching ground.

Boom!

The crescent-shaped flame hit the ground, an explosion resounded, kicking up a powerful gust of air.

"I know what it is!"

At this moment, Liu Jinglan suddenly shouted excitedly, causing everyone around to turn their eyes towards him.

Liu Jinglan stared straightly at this Pet Beast, his chest heaving, his voice slowly rising: "In the registration rules and caution notes released by the competition committee, there was one point that caught my attention."

After a slight pause, he squinted, his voice growing slower, as if carefully recalling the content he initially saw:

"It mentioned that the Wandering Fire Ash Spirit has an extremely special advancement method, where multiple Wandering Fire Ash Spirits can merge with any Spirit Plant containing abundant energy, thereby advancing to an exceedingly special Pet Beast."

"This Pet Beast is called the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, wielding a Flame Heavy Sword, commanding all Wandering Fire Ash Spirits."

"In other words, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch is the king of all Wandering Fire Ash Spirits."

With these words, everyone fell into contemplation simultaneously.

Chen Yuan’s thoughts churned, and numerous ideas emerged in his mind.

"Since the committee shared this intelligence early on, it proves that the Association has long been aware of the Wandering Fire Ash Spirit and Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s existence, seemingly appearing in the distant past and leaving some records."

"This advancement method is quite unique, after all, merging advancement, and there’s no detailed requirement for the Spirit Plants."

"Hmm, and it only requires one Spirit Plant, making the advancement cost much lower than Spark..."

"But no, that’s not right."

Thinking here, Chen Yuan shook his head, denying his thoughts.

The precondition for the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s advancement is the merging of multiple Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, a condition not easily met.

"However... there is indeed a Blazing Flame Flower here." Chen Yuan’s eyes gleamed, and he stared intently at the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.

Liu Jingyi and Jiang Hu respectively raised a question.

Liu Jingyi: "Brother, since so many Wandering Fire Ash Spirits are merging, wouldn’t there be hundreds of consciousnesses in one brain, so whose command does the body follow?"

Liu Jinglan replied without hesitation: "The leader among the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits assumes the dominant position, and the consciousnesses of other Wandering Fire Ash Spirits will be devoured by it, thus enhancing itself."

"Oh... how pitiful." Liu Jingyi spoke softly, with a complex expression, "Hundreds of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits contribute their bodies and consciousnesses, just to birth a common king. I find it so cruel."

"Uh." Liu Jinglan was momentarily speechless, contemplated briefly, then said, "This could also be seen as being part of a glorious evolution."

From Commander quality to Morning Star quality, rather than an advancement, it is more like evolution.

After all, after reaching Morning Star quality, the original form of the Pet Beast undergoes earth-shattering changes, even its name changes.

Compared to Liu Jingyi, Jiang Hu’s focus was quite unique, touching his bristly beard, he asked: "Why didn’t I notice this information?"

Liu Jinglan said: "When you register and enroll in the competition, do you thoroughly read each clause and note carefully?"

Everyone shook their heads.

They all scrolled quickly to the bottom, clicking agree hastily.

"I will." Liu Jinglan raised his head, somewhat proud.

Actually, when he forgot his phone while using the restroom, he read everything in sight, including but not limited to labels on shampoo and shower gel.

Hearing Liu Jinglan’s explanation, Jiang Hu mumbled: "Such important intelligence, and the committee didn’t highlight it?"

Liu Jinglan’s tone was hesitant: "Perhaps they didn’t expect a Blazing Soul Flame Monarch to actually be born."

"After all, the conditions for the birth of the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch are exceedingly harsh, not only requiring the fulfillment of the two conditions I mentioned but also demanding the leader’s strength and consciousness far surpass other Wandering Fire Ash Spirits for successful evolution."

"Didn’t expect it to actually succeed."

"Chen Yuan brother, do you think the Furious Wave Crocodile can be a match for the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch?" Liu Jingyi abruptly asked Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan gazed toward the Furious Wave Crocodile, seen retreating repeatedly under the fierce assault of the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, shaking his head: "Not a match."
