129 The Second Round Part 8 (1/2)
On Heaven's Gate's side, their five summoned their monsters first.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
[Monster: The Faceless One]
[Level: 38]
[Grade: Epic]
[Type: Mythical (Beast-Human)]
[Element: Demon and Dark]
[Additional Info: A giant dog-like beast with no face or head. With six large arms and two pairs of wings. A direct descendant of the Hundun, meaning 'muddled confusion'.]
[Evolvable]
The Phantasm Peacock they had seen that year appeared in front of Tang Yaling, it had gotten much stronger since he had last seen it. It was now Level 35, but otherwise, there was no other change in it.
The same could be said for Chen Jingyi, her Demon Marshal which was already quite a high level that time is now Level 35 as well. With a higher grade, and the rarer the species of the monster, it was a large amount of growth for Chen Jingyi to be the same level as Tang Yaling, of course, this meant her already large advantage grew even wider now on the same level.
As for the other two team members, they are just cannon fodder so the stats aren't needed and just adding to the word count.
As for the leader of the Heaven's Gate, everyone was surprised when it appeared on the stage. It was not because of how ugly it looked, or because of how big it was. Since eons ago, a myth about the four perils which opposed the four benevolent ones.
To better explain the myth, the four benevolent ones are also the four sacred beasts; the Azure Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise.
While the four perils are the; the Hundun, the Qiongqi, the Taowu, and the Taotie.
With the Faceless One being a direct descendant of the Hundun, once it evolves, it will be able to wield its ancestor's great power.
Seeing that it was already in the condition to evolve at any time, Ye Qin's eyes sparkled. While he had those thoughts, everyone else was recovering from the shock, just by looking at it and recalling the myth, it was easy to tell that such a thing was already comparable to dragons.
In fact, one could say that it was even rarer than a dragon!
It was no wonder the young man who seemed to be completely ordinary could lead the Heaven's Gate this year. It was a good example of why one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
”Eh, Hundun? It really looks like how its described in the myths, pretty ugly...” Wang Tao muttered softly so that no one could hear him.
After the Heaven's Gate team called out their monsters, it was time for the War God Academy to do the same.
