Battle Peak Test

"Well, that's enough." Ye Qin said as the Qiulong roared once again and flew into the monster sea slowly with its entire body. When it finally returned, the Knight of Divinity and the Starlight Pegasus was able to move freely as their masters too stood up and wiped their sweat

When Ye Qin and Wang Tao went back into the dorms, Su Guiying and Jia Yazhu were still standing outside which shocked expressions

The next day, the four of them went to class together whilst a seat was empty near them. Just before the class started, a figure suddenly appeared in the seat out of thin air

Whoosh*

"..."

"Are you a ninja?" Wang Tao asked

"..."

"..."

Yang Xinyi entered the classroom with nothing in her hands. Standing at her podium, she said "I'm sure you all know about the freshmen tournament that's being held next week for the entire university to see." The five students nodded

"Well, this is your chance to show off why you are deserving of being a Gold Star. In case you are planning to be lazy and lose in the first round, you'll be stripped of your privileges and be demoted to a Silver Star if you don't make it into the top 16 at least. If you want to purposely lose after that then it's your choice" she continued

Ye Qin thought to himself "Oh I wanted to be lazy and it looks like I can't huh… Didn't want to reveal my strength yet…". Wang Tao similarly had the same thought as the two brothers sighed. Yang Xinyi saw their reactions and asked with a fake smile "Hmm, what's wrong with you two?"

Cough*

"Nothing, nothing! I will do my best!!" Wang Tao said. "Good." Yang Xinyi nodded before ending the class there

After class, Ye Qin and Wang Tao headed towards the Battle Peak. When they arrived, they saw battles taking place on the Battle Tower. From the looks of things, the battles were actually the entrance test to the peak. The two headed towards the central building and took the teleportation gate towards the lowest platform and found some seats in the crowd to enjoy the show

Munch* Munch*

Wang Tao munched on some popcorn as the battle took place. On the lowest platform, a male student fought against another male student. The one on the right side has a huge white gorilla with the ice element whilst on the other side, his opponent has a fire element elephant

[Monster: General Snow Ape]

[Level: 28]

[Grade: Rare]

[Type: Beast (Land)]

[Element: Ice]

[Info: A species of apes that live in the coldest of mountains. Its fur is harder than diamonds and is used to both repel the cold and as armor. This particular snow ape is stronger than the average snow ape, boasting even greater physical strength, speed and defense]

[Monster: Coalephant]

[Level: 27]

[Grade: Uncommon]

[Type: Beast (Land)]

[Element: Fire]

[Info: An elephant that lives under the ground around volcanoes. It burrows itself into the hot ashes as a means to rest as well as strengthen its hide]

Surprisingly, the white gorilla overpowered the dark red elephant in terms of both power and speed. It's raw strength enabled it to disregard its weakness to fire leading it to complete victory after just 5 minutes into the battle

"Oh nice, he actually won and pretty easily at that too. I wonder how his opponent feels losing to someone he had the advantage over." Wang Tao said as he continued munching on his popcorn

After a short 2 minute break, the next battle took place. Once again the trainer with the white gorilla was up as a faced a stronger foe. This time, he faced an opponent with the same element but smaller in size

[Monster: Chilled Saber Tiger]

[Level: 29]

[Grade: Ice]

[Type: Beast (Land)]

[Element: Ice]

[Info: A species of tiger that lives in the snow far away from the snow ape clan. It boasts great speeds and a powerful jaw that can snap even diamonds and the likes to pieces with ease]

Roar*

The saber tiger leaped up towards the snow ape and aimed its jaws onto the snow apes' arm. Ye Qin and Wang Tao shook their heads at such a simple strategy and how stupid the saber tigers' trainer was. "How did he get in the academy like that?" Wang Tao wondered

The snow ape general puffed cold air from its nostrils as it simply swung its huge fist and punched the body of the saber tiger

Pow*

That single blow sent the tiger flying into the barrier protecting the crowd from the effects of the battle. The saber tiger spat out a mouthful of blood as the snow ape glared at the tiger striking fear through to its very soul

Whoosh*

The saber tiger returned to the monster sea without its masters' permission as the Snow Ape returned to the monster sea and took another win on the same platform. "Well, there's nothing to see here on this platform let's move up." Ye Qin said as the two brothers left their seats and teleported to the next platform

Moving up to the next platform, they realized the matches on the second platform already ended. Apparently, a single student beat all of the others on the platform by himself and even won in a 1 v 3 battle!

That student now had the right to move up to the second highest platform on the Battle Tower and fight against the seniors of the peak, the two brothers naturally went up to without watching the replays of the previous matches. "Hoh? A strong opponent, I can't wait to battle him." Wang Tao said

The Battle Peak test only took place on the first 5 platforms of the Battle Tower, the higher one went up afterward, the stronger the foe they would face. Naturally, those that could move up have been considered to have passed the test and are official members of the peak

Ye Qin smiled and nodded as he too felt excited as a strong foe awaited him. When they arrived, they could barely find two seats for them to squeeze into. The battles on the second highest platform were still taking place at the time they arrived. The current match is between two trainers with the same exact monster which is quite unusual, the only difference between them was 1 level which would normally determine the victor

However, in this case, the trainer with the lower level monster actually had higher speed than the higher level one. After a few minutes, the lower level monster came out on top as the resting period for the began. When the break ended, five matches took place back to back where the winners were decided after about 10 minutes each

Finally, it became time for the trainer who had easily won all their battles on the second platform to show his strength. The trainer stood on one side of the platform just below the two brothers as his two block cut flowed along with the wind

His hair is pitch black without any styling it, as it flew along with the wind, one could tell that the trainer is a handsome young man. His skin tone, not too light nor too dark fit perfectly along with his dark eyes and sword like eyebrows that was kept properly. Standing on the platform, the young man appeared to be just a handsome and strong lad. But as soon as his opponent stood facing him on the other side, Ye Qin noticed both his eyes shined with golden lights for a brief second

"Interesting." Ye Qin thought when he noticed this. His opponent is a young woman who is average in all aspects, though one should know that she couldn't be an ordinary trainer to have made it to the second highest platform of the Battle Tower

The young woman sent out her monster first as she revealed an extremely rare humanoid type monster. Its body resembled a human female and is even taller than its trainer standing at roughly 170cm tall. Its long slender body resembled a kunoichi as it uses twin daggers which are placed on its back, the humanoid monster has long black hair that is kept tidy in a bun as small amounts of smoke leaked from its aura

"It's Ning Caiyan and her kunoichi!!!" someone in the crowd screamed. Obviously those who could make it to the top two platforms were famous throughout the Battle Peak since they are amongst the strongest in the entire academy

[Monster: Cyber Kunoichi]

[Level: 32]

[Grade: Epic]

[Type: Humanoid]

[Element: Metal and Wind]

[Info: A robotic kunoichi that can call upon the powers of wind and control nearby metal like a magnet. This species of monster specializes in speed and can barely take a hit. Though this problem can be overlooked by its metal element that acts like armor]

The young male student, smiled arrogantly as he summoned his monster as a pitch black gate appeared in front of him. A humanoid figure wearing what resembled a spacesuit and a military combat suit covered from head to toe. The pitch black armor has patterns that lead all over its body as golden rays started filling up the gaps between the armor which made the patterns stand out even more

On its back, a rifle lied perfectly attached to its back whilst on the two sides of its waist, two pistol like guns could be seen holstered tightly. As it reached its two hands onto the guns with its arms crossed, the twin guns seemed to come to life and golden patterns started shining brightly on its sides just as its entire suit of armor did

[Monster: Super Soldier]

[Level: 30]

[Grade: Epic]

[Type: Humanoid]

[Element: Metal, Plasma, Space and Darkness]

[Info: The ultimate soldier. It has unsurpassed physical prowess whether, strength, speed, defense, jumping height and other related factors. Having four elements, it is the strongest of its kind and can easily battle against multiple opponents at a similar level]

"!" Ye Qin's eyes widened as he whispered to Wang Tao, "Hey fatty, that thing has four elements!"

"What?!" Wang Tao covered his mouth and shouted at the same time, luckily no one heard him because of the loud screams of the crowd. The young man moved his hands as he pulled his hair back as if his hands had wax in them keeping his hair in place. His facial expression changed drastically as his smile became arrogant as if he were a higher being looking down upon mortals

His eyes glew gold once again in perfect unison with his monster as its eyes sparkled with blinding golden light. One couldn't tell what it looked like underneath its armor, in fact, the armor was so thin, it appeared as though the armor itself was the monster fitting tightly against the soldier's limbs

"A humanoid too? This kid might actually be a match for Ning Caiyan!" someone in the crowd said. "No way! Ning Caiyan has been here for two years and is close to being able to battle on the highest platform! How can a new student be on her level!" someone else retorted

"Well then let's see who's right!" the first student in the crowd said. "Alright you're on!" the other student agreed

As soon as the battle began, the cyber kunoichi turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the platform. The super soldier didn't move as though it were frozen in place. "Hey it seems like that new student is scared frozen." the second student provoked

"Shut it." the first student retorted as the match continued
