Chapter 144: Companion Beast
Chapter 144: Companion Beast
The first person who intercepted the scale was immediately brought to the ground by the momentum of the scale. He slid on the ground for more than ten meters, and his body was covered with blood before he let go of the scale.
The scale flew in a certain direction of the forest, even hitting the trees directly, smashing all the obstacles in front of it with its powerful shield.
What exactly was His Majestys scale looking for?
More than half of the candidates had already passed by the scale, each of them trying to reach out and stop the scale, but had instead suffered injuries of all sizes from such a move.
Soon, the candidates on Qing Yuns side also noticed the movement of the scale. Everyone stood up, gathering all their strength to stop the scale, and some even hoped in their hearts that they were the ones chosen by the scale.
The surrounding cameras clearly filmed the direction where the scale was flying to.
At this moment, all the candidates shots have merged, and all the viewers are excited to the extreme, with one pop-up after another.
[Ahhhhh, that direction is where Ilos is! His Majesty has really chosen Ilos!]
[No, there are still Mona and Phil in that direction, so it will take a little closer to see which one the scale has chosen.]
Each candidates fans were looking forward to the scale picking their idol, because this glory of being chosen was not the same as trying to find the scale yourself. It was His Majestys will!
After all, the scales move has now made it clear that it represents His Majestys choice. In a world where the Star beast has been divinized, it did not occur to anyone that this might be a conspiracy that had been hatched. They were now completely agitated, waiting for the outcome as if they were watching His Majesty himself come to screen his candidates.
If a person is really chosen by the scale, then that person must be His Majestys favorite, and at the same time, would be the noblest one in the world along with His Majesty.
Qing Yun also saw the scale, and he immediately stood up. Sure enough, his perception of the scale was still disturbed. He could not feel where the scale was until it got that close.
At this point, as the distance between the scale and each candidate drew closer and closer, everyone also saw the candidate the scale was aiming at.
But to everyones surprise, the direction the scale was flying towards was not Ilosbut Phil? Phil, who has a relationship with General Andrea!
This result took most of the audience by surprise, as Phil was not at all outstanding compared to Iloss performance and was even mocked by Iloss fans for his argument with him before the match.
But the screen had clearly shown the movement of the scale, and it did avoid Mona and Ilos next to Phil and flew straight towards Phils direction.
[This is undoubtedly His Majestys will! His chosen contract person is Phil!]
[Im sorry to say that although Ilos is very powerful, His Majestys favorite is obviously Phil.]
[To support Phil is to support His Majesty. Do you all see clearly now?]
Phil and Andreas fans, who had been quiet since Ilos killed the red-tailed boa, are now popping up again and feeling smugly superior to Ilos.
So what if hes powerful? His Majesty still didnt choose him.
Although Ilos fans were furious, there was nothing they could do. Because on the video, it seemed obvious that it was His Majestys scale that selected Phil. Involving His Majestys will, even for the sake of Ilos, they did not dare to easily refute the words of Phils fans.
Now, even Edmunds fans have started to support Phil. Those old but powerful generals and ministers have appeared on the major platforms of the star network, following the results of the selection competition nervously.
Although Qing Yun understood that it was the attraction of Phils bracelet, he was in a trance for a moment before anger flashed in his eyes when he saw the mans scale flying straight towards Phil.
But he instantly reacted and flew forward, stopping the scale in the protective shield at once.
Seeing Ilos action, all the audience, including the candidates, froze. After seeing the scale fly towards Phil by itself, these candidates all respected His Majestys will and did not intercept the scale again and allowed it to fly towards Phil.
At this moment, Phil, who was happily opening his hands to welcome the scale, saw the scale fall into Qing Yuns hands and finally could not hide his resentment and shouted towards Qing Yun, What do you want, Ilos? Thats mine! His Majesty has chosen me! No matter how powerful you are, the scale belongs to me!
Outside, some of the viewers also began to blame Ilos. They all thought that now that the result was already settled, Ilos should shower Phil with blessings!
Some even thought that Ilos was going to carry a grave sin on his body for openly disobeying the will of His Majesty.
But Ilos fans, although they didnt speak, had a hidden expectation in their hearts. Because they watched this young man all the way, watched him personally kill a 3S-grade ferocious beast, and surprisingly powerful enough to eat 3S-grade ferocious beast meat like ordinary meat.
Ilos has given them all kinds of surprises, so they still expect that Ilos can turn the situation around this time.
The attraction between the shield and Phil is very strong that Qing Yun accidentally let the protective shield slip away.
In the video, one can only see the shield flying towards Phil but does not clearly see that the scale inside the shield is vibrating and hitting the shield fast, trying to break free from it. However, Qing Yun can see it well.
He knows who that mans scale really wants to find!
Due to the vibration of the scale, the speed of the protective shield flying towards Phil also slowed down.
Just when Phil was frantically urging the scale to hurry up and fall into his arms, and all the spectators were nervous, and their palms were sweating, Qing Yun once again reached out and squeezed the shield with ease.
Angry curses from the surrounding candidates instantly rang out, and the outside audience began to slap their tables and scold Ilos.
[Can Ilos stop messing things up? His Majesty chose Phil! Its Phil!]
However, Qing Yun did not let go. He held on to the protective shield with one hand, and the other hand, amidst the incredulous gazes and curses of the crowd, blasted the protective shield around the scale with one punch.
This shield, which is said to be the strongest in the world that can even withstand a blow from a Star beast in its prime, was shattered by Qing Yun in an instant, like fragile glass in his hands.
The blue-purple scale came out of the protective shield and laid docilely in Qing Yuns palm with a shimmering glow.
The participants, the audience, and the military personnel controlling the field all froze.
The fans, who had been expecting a lot from Ilos, finally couldnt help but scream for their idol at this point.
How could he smash the shield with one punch? It was simply too powerful, too handsome!
Qing Yuns action undoubtedly used violence to tell the world, what bullsh-t destiny, what contract person and companion beast connection? What is his is his, no one can snatch it away!
Instantly, the screen exploded again. After Ilos tore the red-tailed boa alive and ate that 3S-grade beast, he once again shocked everyone.
[Ah ah ahhhhhh! Its so exciting! So handsome!]
[I cant f-cking hold it in any longer. Ilos is the best! The most handsome in the world! Where are the people who said that the selection contest should be based on strength? Come and fight!]
[F-ck, f-ck, it broke! Im not a fan of Ilos, but whats with the sweat and excitement Im getting from seeing this scene?]
[I remember when this shield was developed, wasnt it boasted of being something special? Someone also claimed that even if the world was destroyed, the shield would not break. Now]
Even those who had previously scolded Ilos were startled by his action. Then, an indescribable excitement lingered in their chests, making them want to shout for this immensely powerful young man.
The screen was brimming with ahhhhhhhhh.
Just when someone wondered whether Ilos, who smashed the shield, sensed something wrong with it, an embarrassing scene followed.
The shield that was smashed by Ilos did not fall but instead flew in the direction of Phil. All the pieces stuck to the black bracelet on Phils wrist, and some even cut his wrist, making him bleed.
The scale, which seemed to be restless to fly towards Phil, was now as if it had been completely pacified, lying quietly and well behaved in the hands of Ilos.
It was clear who the emperors scale had chosen.
[Sure enough, at first, when I saw the agitation of the scale, I thought it was accidental, but I didnt realize that His Majestys scale was forced by the shield to Phil! The person it really wanted was Ilos! Look how quiet and beautiful it is in Ilos hands!]
[What is the thing on Phils hand that can attract the shield?]
[Did Phil choose the shield instead of His Majestys scales? Thats funny!]
After seeing Phils injuries and figuring out what happened, people who were simply attracted to Qing Yuns actions earlier also completely fell for him.
It turns out that Ilos has long been aware that the outer shield of the scale is not right. In such a case where no one else can do anything but watch the scale fly towards Phil, Ilos actually acted to smash the strongest shield in the universe!
This simple and straightforward act has made all the scheming movements disappear. Could it be any more domineering?
The truth was revealed once again, and His Majestys fans who had previously supported Phil and raged against Ilos only felt a sense of fear. If Ilos had not been strong enough to smash through the shield, would they really have had to choose Phil? Would His Majestys true intentions have been ignored?
Thinking of it this way, they couldnt help but feel heartfelt gratitude for Ilos, while being even more furious at Phil, who was clearly cheating.
The forest was now dead silent, with only Phils wails sounding out.
All the candidates were dumbfounded. The scale that flew towards Phil was lying in Iloss hand nicely? Instead, the shield flew towards Phil and pierced his hand into a bloody mess?
The image of looking at the scale while standing in that open space and kissing it with eyes closed is incredibly beautiful.
There are people who want to take the scale from Iros hand, but Mona spoke out at this time: He is the one who killed the 3s class beast, so go ahead and grab it if you dont want to live. And what is the quality of the shield that he smashed, you judge it yourselves.
After saying that, he packed his things and left Phils side, a business he shouldnt have taken.
Ilos got the scale, and the military, who was familiar enough with his ability, didnt even suspect that someone would take the scale away from him. Phils performance was suspected of cheating, so the military had to declare the competition over.
They invited Qing Yun into the aircraft respectfully and even sent someone to arrest Phil.
In full view of everyone, Phil pleaded to the people around him with an innocent face: Im sorry, I didnt know this bracelet would react with the shield. Sir, you have to believe me, it was an accident!
He saw Qing Yuns back, who was about to step into the aircraft and said again in a sharp tone: This bracelet was given to me by Ilos. He was the one with bad intentions and wanted to set me up. You should interrogate him!
Phils accusation made people stunned for a moment, and they couldnt help but turn their heads to look at the two brothers who turned against each other.
Looking at Ilos, who was being treated respectfully with the scale in his hand, Phils entire being was going crazy. He watched the scale that was about to fall into his hands be intercepted by Ilos, and the gap in his heart had made him lose his mind.
All he knew was that the scale should have been his and that he should have been the one to contract His Majesty. It was all Ilos fault! He could never let him have his way!
It was Ilos who deliberately set me up! He started by spreading black material about me on the star network and slandering me that I already had a companion beast but still came to compete.
The next second, an aircraft spraying detergent in the air suddenly shook, and a bucket of detergent spilled all over Phil.
Ah!
The audience, who were still concerned about Ilos and Phil, heard Phils scream. In the next second, they saw a bright red mark emerge on Phils back, which, as well as being extremely regular, was obviously in the shape of a cat.
Hey! Isnt this kind of scar only for those who killed the companion beast themselves? The soldier beside Phil was startled.
Meanwhile, on the aircraft above, Yi Rui apologized with embarrassment while stuffing an empty bottle into his shirt.
It seems that Phil actually had a companion beast, and he killed it with his own hands? The audience was obviously overwhelmed by the suddenness of the situation, and it took a long time before a pop-up appeared:
[emm, words cannot be said indiscriminately, you might get hit in the face in the next second]
Qing Yun took back the foot that he had stepped on the aircraft, looked at Phil, who was curled up on the ground in pain, and pulled a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: You and I have always been at odds, didnt we have a fight before the competition? If that bracelet was given to you by me, you are quite bold to bring it to the competition. Besides, isnt your fianc the one most likely to have access to the shield and create a tool that matches its magnetism?
After Qing Yun said this, Phils pupils shrank for a moment, and whispers rose around him instantly.
But Qing Yun ignored it. He was in a hurry to meet the man.
