Legendary Beastmaster Zhang Deshuai

Chapter 21: Gift of Glory

The competition ended successfully, and then Zhang Deshuai, Wang Hong, and Lin Youqian walked onto the podium to start the grand award ceremony. The three of them stood on the stage, shining brightly, looking particularly dazzling.

Zhang Deshuai was holding the Ice Demon Spider, Qilin was standing proudly beside him, Wang Hong was smiling, and Lin Youqian looked excited.

First, the head of Juandu District presented Lin Youqian with the third prize, a water spirit fruit and a bank card with 10 gold coins. Lin Youqian received the prize with great excitement. He held the water spirit fruit and the bank card tightly, his face filled with irrepressible joy.

Zhang Deshuai and Wang Hong looked at Lin Youqian with a smile and felt happy for him.

The audience also gave Lin Youqian a warm round of applause.

Immediately after the second prize, the head of Juandu District walked over to Wang Hong and handed her the Earth Spirit Fruit and a bank card with 50 gold coins. Wang Hong's hands trembled with excitement. She carefully took the precious prize with excitement in her eyes.

Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian smiled and congratulated her, and the audience below burst into warm cheers.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the mayor of Juandu District walked towards Zhang Deshuai, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "Good boy."

Zhang Deshuai was a little dazed, as if he couldn't believe it was true. But he quickly came to his senses and straightened his back.

Then the mayor of Juandu District gave Zhang Deshuai a shining badge with the pattern of Juancheng on it. The badge shone with a unique light on Zhang Deshuai's chest, as if telling of his brilliant achievements.

Zhang Deshuai felt the weight of the badge, and an endless sense of pride and mission surged in his heart. Lin Youqian and Wang Hong looked at him with smiles, their eyes full of admiration.

The audience below the stage once again burst into warm cheers and applause, and the whole scene was warm and shocking.

After putting on the badge, the district chief of Juandu District took out a fire spirit fruit and a bank card with one million gold coins and handed them to Zhang Deshuai. Zhang Deshuai's eyes widened, and his surprise was beyond words.

He solemnly took the Fire Spirit Fruit and the bank card, feeling the heavy honor and wealth. Lin Youqian and Wang Hong were sincerely happy for him.

The audience's cheers seemed to break through the sky and the whole scene was extremely warm.

Zhang Deshuai looked at the Fire Spirit Fruit in his hand and the badge on his chest, and his emotions were beyond words. He knew that these were not only symbols of honor, but also heavy responsibilities.

Lin Youqian came forward and hugged Zhang Deshuai tightly to celebrate this glorious moment together. People around him cast envious and admiring glances at them.

After the awards ceremony, the mayor of Juandu District gave a speech, saying that the 360th Juancheng Cup had come to a successful conclusion. The audience applauded and cheered one after another.

After Zhang Deshuai, Wang Hong and Lin Youqian left together, Lin Youqian found Wang Hong and wanted to exchange spiritual fruits with her.

Wang Hong looked at Lin Youqian with some surprise, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

Zhang Deshuai also heard Lin Youqian's words. He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Lin Youqian said to Wang Hong, "My pet Lucky Cat is of the Spirit Element, and the Rock Snake is of the Earth Element. The Water Spirit Fruit in your hand is useless. Your Green Wood Wolf is of the Wood Element, and Bishuijiao is of the Water Element. Your Earth Spirit Fruit is not suitable."

After listening to Lin Youqian's words, Wang Hong nodded slightly, as if she was seriously considering his proposal.

Zhang Deshuai watched quietly from the side, not rushing to express his opinion.

Finally, Wang Hong agreed to Lin Youqian's exchange, after all, he needed the water spirit fruit. When they completed the exchange, both of them showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

Zhang Deshuai looked at them and felt happy for them.

After the three people successfully exchanged, they separated, and Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian also returned to their respective residences.

After Zhang Deshuai returned to his residence, he began to study the Fire Spirit Fruit carefully, thinking about how to maximize its effectiveness.

On the way, Zhang Deshuai asked Lin Youqian how to use the Fire Spirit Fruit, which was to feed it directly to Qilin. Zhang Deshuai fed the Fire Spirit Fruit to Qilin, and Qilin instantly burst out with powerful strength, and the aura on his body continued to rise. The flames rose. The whole body began to emit a blazing light, as if it was wrapped in a ball of flames.

Its body was trembling slightly, as if it was undergoing some drastic changes.

Qilin's body also began to change, growing from a one-meter-tall puppy to a two-meter-tall one in an instant. After eating the Fire Spirit Fruit, it looked even more like a Qilin.

Zhang Deshuai looked at the huge changes in Qilin in front of him, and his heart was filled with shock and joy. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from Qilin, which was a heart-pounding power.

Zhang Deshuai began to test the Qilin and found that as a fire spirit beast, its growth level was difficult to determine for the time being, but judging from the powerful aura it displayed, it had already reached an extremely high level.

With this evolution, Qilin has these five powerful skills: Exploding Fire Pillar, Big Fireball, Resistant Fire Ring, Bite and Claw.

Zhang Deshuai began to understand Qilin's new skills more deeply. Big Fireball, as a supernatural skill, the fireball spit out forward was extremely powerful, and it could stir up a scorching wind and waves wherever it passed.

Resist Fire Ring, this super power skill, when a circle of flames is cast two meters around itself, the scorching breath makes it impossible for the enemy to get close, and they can only be driven away helplessly.

As for claw attack, as a physical skill, when Qilin strikes forward with its claws, the sharp wind sound and powerful force it creates can cause heavy damage to the enemy.

Looking at Qilin's five skills, Zhang Deshuai fell into deep thought. He carefully considered the characteristics and advantages of each skill, and thought about how to use them perfectly together.

He imagined that if he had these five skills when fighting against the Aoki Wolves, he would definitely be able to win the game easily. The big fireball could attack the Aoki Wolves from a distance and disrupt their formation; the fire resistance ring could drive them away in time when the Aoki Wolves approached and keep a safe distance; the claw attack could deal a heavy blow to the Aoki Wolves when they were close.

Zhang Deshuai kept rehearsing Qilin's battle plan on the court in his mind. He imagined that Qilin would quickly launch a large fireball at the beginning of the game, attacking the opponent like a string of cannons, disrupting the opponent's rhythm. When the opponent tried to get close, Qilin immediately cast a ring of fire to block it out. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was repelled by the ring of fire, Qilin rushed forward at an extremely fast speed and gave the enemy a heavy blow with his sharp claws. If encountering a long-range enemy, Qilin can also jump up and cast a large fireball in the air to give the opponent an unexpected blow. At the critical moment, Qilin can also suddenly burst out a super-strong burst of fire, causing huge damage and deterrence to the enemy, keeping the enemy in a passive state. The more Zhang Deshuai thought about it, the more he felt that this battle plan was perfect, as if he had already seen the scene of Qilin killing everyone on the court.

Zhang Deshuai began to rehearse the battle plan of the Ice Demon Spider and Qilin in the arena. He imagined that the Ice Demon Spider would lurk in the dark first, using its concealment ability to quietly approach the opponent. When it was close to a certain distance, Qilin would suddenly rush out from the front and continuously send out large fireballs to attract the opponent's attention.

At this time, the Ice Demon Spider quickly rushed out from the side, using its cold spider silk to attack the opponent, restricting the opponent's movements. When the opponent was entangled by the spider silk, Qilin immediately cast the Resist Fire Ring to further force the surrounding enemies back.

Then, the Qilin and the Ice Demon Spider cooperated with each other. The Qilin used its claws to feint, and the Ice Demon Spider took the opportunity to release more cold air to cause the enemy to be chilled. At critical moments, the two could also launch a joint attack together, such as the Ice Demon Spider using spider silk to trap the enemy, and the Qilin then used the bursting fire column to give the enemy a devastating blow. The more Zhang Deshuai thought about it, the more he felt that this battle plan was seamless, and he was full of expectations for their performance on the court.

As the drill continued to improve, Zhang Deshuai also felt a little tired, and before he knew it, it was time to rest. He lay on the bed, with the scene of the drill still lingering in his mind, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Zhang Deshuai seemed to see Qilin and Ice Demon Spider showing off their might on the field, cooperating perfectly and beating their opponents without any chance of fighting back. He saw himself standing on the victory podium, accepting the cheers and congratulations from the crowd. Zhang Deshuai's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up, revealing a satisfied smile, as if he was immersed in this beautiful dream, enjoying the joy and glory brought by victory.
