Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Cross base.

Now, during the entrance examination for freshmen, the tail-end squad has been ordered to guard the gate of the Cross Base and not let any outsiders in.

In other words, temporary security.

Joining the Tail-End Squad in standing guard duty is the famous Elite Team and the "wise, brave, kind, and capable" mentor Kim Baker.

"Why do we have to stand guard with those untouchables?"

Despite having been humiliated many times, Shuoyue still hasn't changed his habit of criticizing others.

"Hmph, we don't think about these things. It's just that this is the task of Chairman Lion Yao. Right, Lion Hall?" Di Qi calmly passed the ball to Lion Hall, signaling him to take care of his players.

"Ouroboros sent people to cause trouble last year, and he might come back again this year."

Lion Hall said calmly, "So our mission is extremely important. We can't let even a groundhog slip in!"

Except for Bubulu, no one else seemed particularly interested. Jiaozi was discussing the secrets of ancient martial arts with Albus, Tiki was bickering with Shuoyue, Selina was trying to control Mizu, and as for the Thirteenth Princess...

She never took her eyes off Bubulu. God knows how many dances she had skipped just to be alone with him.

Bubulu was very happy. As a goalkeeper, he was very motivated!

"Who is that?"

With his amazing eyesight, Bubulu saw a slender and frail girl from a distance.

The girl was estimated to be no more than twenty years old. She had a metal ring around her neck, connected to two broken chains, and looked like a prisoner who had just escaped from prison.

Her decorations felt both rustic and Western, a contradiction in terms, but when all these characteristics converged on one person, it wasn't surprising. Atop her head was a field of Midori flowers, common on the Blue Star, and her hair flowed down like a golden waterfall, covering one of her turquoise eyes.

Later generations praised it in poems: "It is like a swimming dragon, floating in the Luo River. It is so majestic as to be isolated from the world, and it is like snowflakes blown by the wind, and it has ascended to heaven."

Before everyone could react to the girl's beauty, mentor Kim Baker had already fallen to his knees.

"Ouch, my old waist..."

Jin Beck fell to the ground and cried out in pain, unable to get up again. Was he beaten up because he wanted to stop the girl from moving forward?

"Wow, sis, you're so strong! You actually defeated our wise, brave, kind, and capable mentor, Kim Baker!"

"Fool!"

Selina spat, "Is this the time to talk about this? She's clearly trying to force her way in, and now Teacher Kim Baker is already injured. We're the only ones who can stop her!"

"That's right. Otherwise, all the credits we earned would be gone!"

When Jiaozi thought about his wasted trip, he almost fainted.

"Big sister," Jiaozi poked Selina's waist several times while the elite team wasn't paying attention, "There's no need to hide it, use the power of the Water Fang."

Selina whispered softly, "No, the Water Fang consumes too much energy. I plan to use it as a trump card."

"Don't even think about taking credit, you lowly people! It's us who should avenge Teacher Jin Beck!" Shuoyue yelled.

As soon as he finished speaking, a five-star dart flew straight towards Shuoyue's face. Shuoyue barely dodged the attack and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Noisy." Emperor Qi was very frugal with words.

"Untouchable!" Shuoyue was so angry that he started fighting with Diqi.

Albus fell still and began to meditate again.

"Bubu Lu, don't go."

Shisanji held Bubulu's arm and said sincerely, "Even our mentor Jinbek has fallen. You have no chance of winning."

"Then I can't let her in either. Instructor Gold Shell ordered that."

After saying that, Bubulu let go of Shisanji's hand.

"Bubulu, let's go!"

Seeing that his teammates were more unreliable than each other, Lion Hall decided to lead by example and set a better example.

Bubulu and Shizitang surrounded the girl from the left and right. Their speed was like an arrow shot from a bow, which was unbearable to watch.

Facing the fierce attacks from the two men, the girl countered them with ease, making their attacks as ineffective as hitting cotton.

"It's so powerful!"

Bubulu couldn't help but sigh.

"Step aside!"

The girl exerted a little force and actually retreated... No, that's not the case. I was the one who was moving away from the girl... I was knocked away!

"Bublu!"

Selina and Jiaozi hurried to check on Bubulu's injuries. Fortunately, he was protected by the coffin and was not seriously injured.

Seeing this, Lion Hall was horrified.

It's fine that no one else saw what happened just now. Why couldn't even I notice it? This girl's strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even the Ten Shadow Kings are no match for her!

"Shisanji, Shuoyue, Albus, if you still want chicken legs for dinner, come and help!"

Lion Hall understood that all the people present might not be a match for the girl in front of them. All they could do was delay time and try to get help.

When they heard that the chicken legs had been confiscated, the elite team was full of fighting spirit and rolled up their sleeves to get ready for a big fight. At this moment, the old man's shout stopped the farce in time.

"Hahaha...it's really lively. You young people are full of energy."

As the gate opened, an old man heard the noise and came to check what was going on. It was Angulin.

The moment he saw the girl, Angulin's eyes widened.

"Xiao Lian? I didn't expect to see you alive."

"You are... Xiao An? Why are you at the Cross Base?"

I didn't expect Master Angulin to actually know this girl, and he seemed very familiar with her! Wait...Xiaolian?

Jiaozi suddenly thought of something and pointed at the girl and said tremblingly, "Could it be that you are Xia Lian, one of the Ten Shadow Kings?"

"Ah."

Xia Lian nodded without comment.

"Ten Shadow King? It seems someone does call me that."

"Ah? Then do you know Flamehorn Loren? I'm from the same village as him."

As soon as he heard the words Ten Shadow Kings, Bubulu immediately recovered to full health and wanted to ask something from Xia Lian.

Thirteenth Princess blushed and pulled Bubulu aside to explain, "Xia Lian was born over two hundred years ago. She's a natural prodigy. She can find the answers to all the puzzles on Blue Star. Furthermore, she's a monster master without any monsters, and the youngest of the Ten Shadow Kings."

After Shisanji finished her explanation, Xia Lian's expression eased a little.

"Xiao An, if you were here, it would be much easier. Call Nicole out, I have something to say to him."

Angulin smiled and said, "He's not here. It's the enrollment period at the Cross Base right now, and he's busier than an old man like me. But, Xiaolian, if you have anything to tell me, maybe I can pass it on to him."

“It’s not a big deal.”

Xia Lian opened her red lips slightly, "A monster is about to reach the Cross Base. If we can't deal with it in time, I'm afraid you will all be killed by it."

"Monster? Was it Ouroboros who did it?" Bubulu felt so angry that his teeth were itching when he thought of Ouroboros's disgusting actions.

"No, that monster was released onto Blue Planet by an unknown individual. I call it the Root of Destruction Summoning Body. The Root of Destruction Summoning Body has released countless monsters into countless worlds. This one coming soon is just a drop in the ocean."

"Excuse me, how did you know that?"

Di Qi asked cautiously, "Even the Ten Shadow Kings can't be omniscient and know everything, right?"

"Foolish people always blindly question others. You might as well use this time to think of a solution. You're lucky to have met me. I'll be staying at the Cross Base for a while and will be able to help you."

Xia Lian's words were undoubtedly great news. With Xia Lian and Angulin in charge, the Cross Base could be impregnable even if the Alchemy Dragon attacked.
