Chapter 310 — Team Rankings Revealed

The main reason was that the Time-Brewed Fruit was simply too broken — it could even raise combat power to Overlord level!

How was it supposed to fight that!

Baby Ginseng: Unbothered.

Sure, Susu was the little sister with Overlord Will, but Overlord Will was not combat power.

Otherwise, the Blue Sea Spirit's reincarnation wouldn't have died countless times over three thousand years.

Overlord Will only had a chance of taking effect at the brink of life and death, letting a pet beast erupt with latent potential or break through.

In a "peaceful" intra-team match like this, it was basically a blank slate.

To look after this little sister who had just joined the team and knew nothing of how vicious her seniors were, Baby Ginseng didn't even use the Time-Brewed Fruit.

Rumble rumble.

The moment the match began, the ice field beside Baby Ginseng split open, and countless trees coiled around its body.

Soon, Baby Ginseng's figure vanished, swallowed by a giant tree.

In its place stood a giant tree several meters tall — a giant tree steeped in an earth-brown hue, with arms growing from it!

Right at the start, Baby Ginseng used Plant Control and Hardening to create a tough giant tree, slipping inside it to protect its true body.

After all, its true body really was fragile. Against ordinary passersby it might not need to care, but against these teammates with maxed-out skills and explosive destructive power, it was better to be safe...

At this moment, seeing Baby Ginseng play it so cowardly, Susu was stunned.

Among plant-type pet beasts, there were many, many whose speed was utterly pathetic.

Baby Ginseng's speed had already been pathetic enough, and now that it had turned into this, it seemed it had completely given up on that front and intended to dump everything into defense.

Seeing this, Susu — who had just been ravaged by Chitong's speed — felt its heart relax.

But soon, it cried.

It truly understood what "the world is a vicious place" meant.

Its various water-type skills attacked the target Baby Ginseng, and they didn't even raise a ripple — all of them were absorbed into the giant tree.

"Eeya!! (Anti-Susu Energy Fruit!)"

Inside the giant tree, Baby Ginseng controlled the tree to absorb the power of the water element, turning it into nutrients for the energy fruits on the tree.

This was what real attribute suppression looked like!

Rumble rumble.

Right after, the giant tree's big hands hurled the Moon Burst-enhanced energy fruits straight at Susu.

Susu: ???(﹏)???

...

"That's four matches now."

As Susu returned once more in defeat, Shi Qi pulled up the matchup list.

At this point, Susu was thoroughly depressed, because it had already lost two matches in a row.

But for Susu, who possessed an Overlord's Will, these defeats did not backfire at all — on the contrary, they greatly stoked its competitive spirit. A good thing.

There was no help for it; the team was simply that brutal. Even the reincarnation of a mighty demigod like the Variegated Sea Spirit could not be assured of first place. Of course, Susu had not yet accepted the Variegated Sea Spirit's inheritance — once it did, how the battles would go was anyone's guess.

"Yiya!" Having easily defeated the Variegated Sea Spirit's reincarnation, Ginseng Baby was exhilarated.

Eleven and Chongchong, meanwhile, were calling Ginseng Baby sneaky.

What in the world was a water-absorbing fruit?

Sure, wood-type countered water-type, but this was going too far.

A water-storing Ginseng Baby? How was any water-type supposed to play against that?

"Yiya." Ginseng Baby felt that Chongchong, a space-type, had no right to call anyone sneaky.

But it had been forced into it. There was no choice — the competition within the team was so fierce that it had no choice but to research anti-Chongchong, anti-Susu, anti-Eleven, and anti-Chitong energy fruits.

"Round five. Ginseng Baby, you're up again — against Eleven."

At that moment, Shi Jin announced the fifth round.

Ginseng Baby: (｀?д?′)

Eleven: (｀?д?′)

Round five: Ginseng Baby versus Eleven!!

The instant Shi Jin's words fell, everything around them went silent.

"Yi?"

"Ying?"

This match made every pet beast's expression turn grave.

Ginseng Baby, who possessed the Time-Store Fruit and could unleash a temporary Overlord strike — who had once shattered two Overlords.

And Eleven, the leader of the team. Who was truly the stronger?

Eleven had always been the spiritual leader of Chongchong and Ginseng Baby, the goal they had long yearned to surpass.

Now, at last, the chance for a proper clash with Eleven had come. Ginseng Baby drew a deep breath.

Finally.

Come on!

"Yi! (Leader, this time I'm going to win. The me of today is invincible!)"

"Ying ying ying! (In my presence, no one is invincible.)" Eleven's gaze was firm.

The atmosphere between them grew heavy to the extreme.

Chongchong, Chitong, and Susu all swallowed hard.

After the rest, Ginseng Baby and Eleven faced each other across the ice plain.

"Yi! (Fight!)"

"Ying ying! (Let's fight!)"

The moment the battle began — boom — Ginseng Baby stuck to its usual routine, first creating a giant tree to protect itself.

But by the time Ginseng Baby reacted, it was dumbstruck.

Eleven, relying on electromagnetic flight scarcely slower than Chitong's Light-Flame Sword, simply turned and fled, soaring into the sky — in an instant, nothing was left of it but a black dot.

If Ginseng Baby hadn't also had super-vision, it truly would not have been able to see it.

Ginseng Baby, on the ground: ???

What was this?

Before Ginseng Baby could even react, Eleven had already completed its burst high in the air, arms spread wide, and after putting distance between itself and Ginseng Baby, countless electromagnetic cannons fired from the sky.

It displayed a tactical style utterly different from when it had fought Chongchong.

Aerial fire bombardment!

Electromagnetic acceleration — the more it charged, the better it felt. Eat my super electromagnetic cannon!

Ginseng Baby, on the ground: ???

Locked on by super-vision, hardened shells enchanted with lightning-drawing and air-breaking effects were accelerated by Eleven's electromagnetic power and fired straight at Ginseng Baby!!

Knowing full well how explosive Ginseng Baby was, Eleven was very clever — it refused to grow huge and become a target for Ginseng Baby.

Instead, it flew straight up to a height Ginseng Baby could hardly reach, and attacked from there.

"If you've got the guts, throw the fruit up this high. Go on, throw it — let's see whether you land it first or I blast it first."

Baby Ginseng: w(?Д?)w

Leader, you've changed!

Weren't you the one who loved nothing more than going giant and pounding everything to pulp with your bare fists?!

Rumble rumble.

What awaited the bewildered Baby Ginseng was an endless barrage of electromagnetic cannons.

Of course, a Baby Ginseng with a base energy value of over seven million was no pushover either.

Its expression shifted, and it immediately commanded countless hardened giant trees to block.

Boom!

A boundless sea of trees rose up.

Yet even countless giant trees could not withstand Eleven's bombardment in its Edge state.

The hardened air-quake shells, accelerated by electromagnetic force, were simply too destructive.

As the vast sea of trees collapsed, Baby Ginseng, left with no choice, was forced to convert the power of the Chrono Fruit — though it dared not convert too much, raising its energy value only to just over ten million, enough to hold out a while longer. If it surged straight to Overlord level, a single strike would probably bring it down; and if it failed to one-shot Eleven, the loser would be itself.
