Chapter 1174: Chapter 563: The Performance Match that Captivates the Masses!_2 Chapter 1174: Chapter 563: The Performance Match that Captivates the Masses!_2 The Stealthy Hidden One reached Fang Mu’s hands, who then provided it with the highest quality nurturing.

However, when it came down to comparison, it still couldn’t match the Zhanbing Guhuo.

It seemed that among the various ice attribute Heaven Calamity Ghost Series Beasts, the presence of Zhanbing Guhuo remained exceptionally outstanding.

After observing Jiang Tuo’s three Ice Ghosts, Fang Mu patted him on the shoulder and began to speak.

“Xiao Tuo, your Ice Ghosts have grown exceptionally well.”

“Just continue nurturing these Ice Ghosts in the current manner, don’t worry about the consumption of resources.”

With that, Fang Mu took out the remains of four bird creatures from his Purple Ice Crystal Ring.

These four bird creatures were acquired from Ning Hongshu and were highly compatible with the Bird Armor Puppet’s unique feature “Bird Binding Performance.”

These four bird-type controlled creatures were called Sword-shield Starbirds.

After maturing, Sword-shield Starbirds could choose to grow their upper beak bone into either a sword formation or a shield formation.

The sword formation Sword-shield Starbirds had a very strong attack power, and their beaks had a Shattered Shield and Cutting effect.

The shield formation Sword-shield Starbirds excelled in defense, with beaks capable of isolating elemental damage and weakening elemental resonance.

To isolate elemental damage was to resist the harm inflicted by elemental abilities.

Reducing elemental resonance meant that in the environment where the shield formation Sword-shield Starbirds resided, it was difficult for targets covered by the Sword-shield Starbirds’ spiritual power to manipulate surrounding elements.

It kept elements from being as obedient as before, preventing them from being freely controlled by elemental creatures.

Dead shield formation Sword-shield Starbirds lacked spiritual power.

However, once they became derivatives of the Bird Armor Puppet, the Bird Armor Puppet could stimulate the effects of the shield formation Sword-shield Starbird skulls through spiritual power!

Wang Mi and Xu Fengnian also recommended various bird-type controlled creatures to Fang Mu, but after review, Fang Mu felt the Sword-shield Starbirds were the best choice!

At that time, Ning Hongshu had only four Sword-shield Starbird carcasses, but she assured Fang Mu.

She guaranteed that she could provide more than ten Sword-shield Starbird carcasses for Fang Mu in the future.

These Sword-shield Starbird carcasses were more than enough for Hu Tao to use.

“Hu Tao, these are the materials I prepared for the exclusive feature of your Destiny Guardian Beast.”

Having said that, Fang Mu informed Hu Tao about the situation of the Sword-shield Starbirds.

Hu Tao’s eyes lit up as she listened.

It was safe to say that the Sword-shield Starbirds, which combined offense and defense, were precisely what Hu Tao had been longing for.

Through her extensive battles, Hu Tao had come to clearly understand the value and significance of a Defensive Beastmaster.

On the battlefield, Hu Tao aimed to be an indestructible shield, protecting her teammates from harm.

This made Hu Tao no longer blindly chase after offense.

Nevertheless, Hu Tao still had the heart of a warrior.

The Sword-shield Starbirds satisfied both Hu Tao’s craving for battle and her impulsive heart.

“Fang Mu, tomorrow night we’ll be heading to the Gold and Platinum Rank exhibition matches at the Battle Hall.”

“This also relates to whether we can advance in ranking and become the youngest team to reach Platinum Rank!”

“Don’t worry, by tomorrow evening I will surely be able to transform these four Sword-shield Starbirds into derivatives that I can manipulate flexibly using the Bird Armor Puppet’s exclusive feature!”

Fang Mu smiled and nodded at her words, choosing not to dampen Hu Tao’s enthusiasm.

However, speaking of the upcoming exhibition match, Hu Tao actually had little opportunity to exert any effort.

Without having to think about it, Fang Mu knew that the Battle Network had arranged for a very strong team to oppose him and Hu Tao.

This was related to the birth of a record in the Battle Network, with many eyes watching closely.

If they didn’t arrange strong opponents for him and Hu Tao, it would be hard to convince the masses.

While Hu Tao was engaged in absorbing the four Sword-shield Starbird carcasses in the cultivation room’s quiet chamber through the Bird Armor Puppet,

Jiang Tuo watched Hu Tao leave with a look of longing.

Fang Mu knew that Jiang Tuo also wanted to be involved.

Fang Mu might not let Jiang Tuo battle on the Battle Network, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t let Jiang Tuo watch his and Hu Tao’s exhibition match.

“Xiao Tuo, I have tickets for tomorrow’s performance match.”

“If you’re interested in watching live, I can get you a temporary War Network Card so you can surf the Battle Network.”

“Just remember, if you choose to surf the Battle Network, absolutely do not get so engrossed that you forget your priorities!”

“I’ve heard from Mr. He that you have always been very serious about your foundational knowledge.”

“But to reach Hu Tao’s standard, you will need at least another year and a half.”

Jiang Tuo’s face lit up with joy.

“Wow, I can go on the Battle Network too! This is really great!”

“Brother Mu, rest assured, since I’ve chosen to learn this knowledge, I will definitely excel at it!”

“From now on, I’ll make sure not to spend more than two hours a day surfing the Battle Network.”

Jiang Tuo wasn’t just paying lip service to Fang Mu; he truly understood the importance of knowledge.

To become an excellent Beast Master, one must have an adequate foundation of knowledge, something that Jiang Weng had emphasized many times.

At heart, Jiang Tuo was rather proud.

He was not interested in the matches of the weak at all.

What Jiang Tuo wanted was the opportunity to observe Fang Mu’s match against Hu Tao.

Jiang Tuo knew about Hu Tao’s strength but was unclear about Fang Mu’s.

He was eager to use this opportunity to gain insight into Fang Mu.

Fang Mu knew Jiang Tuo had strong self-discipline and was very confident in him.

In some ways, Jiang Tuo had the qualities of a strong contender!

Later, Jiang Tuo was to systematically study fire properties of spiritual materials under the guidance of He Deen.

Fang Mu had an excellent grasp of these basic courses, enough to qualify as a teacher.

So, Fang Mu decided to return to his room and spend the day in cultivation.

Fang Mu had been incredibly busy; using this day to rest, he joined his older brother and sister for a simple meal in The Capital.

Three days earlier, when Fang Mu had accepted the Battle Network’s invitation, the Battle Network’s doubles division began a crazy promotion of the Peach Wood Team’s performance match.

Their promotional efforts were comparable to the publicity for promotion matches of players above the Diamond Ranking!

The Peach Wood Team’s first matches had been live-streamed, growing in popularity under the witness of their fans.

Previous matches had even faced scandals, with too powerful opponents arranged for the performance matches.

In the beginning, the Peach Wood Team’s popularity was supported solely by Fang Mu’s personal fans.

Gradually, Hu Tao’s live streams also gained their own following.

But now, the majority of the fans were supporters of the team, rooting for the partnership of Fang Mu and Hu Tao.

The moment tickets went on presale three days before, they were snapped up instantly.

For the next three days, those who wanted to watch the match live felt bombarded by advertisements yet found tickets impossibly hard to get.

Even on the rare occasion when tickets did appear, their prices were inflated sky-high.

Buying a ticket at a fiftyfold markup seemed too crazy, yet there were still people who did it!

At first, spectators thought these people were at a loss, but merely a day later, tickets worth a hundred times the original price appeared and were quickly sold.

Those who initially spent fifty times the price on tickets earned nearly three thousand Dragon Soaring Coins in just one day.

This turned the tickets for Fang Mu and Hu Tao’s performance match into a short-term financial product.

A large number of people who weren’t interested in the match started buying up tickets in hopes of making a quick profit.

Indeed, the goals of the performance match between Fang Mu and Hu Tao did not disappoint those looking to make money.

Six hours before the performance match, prices had been speculated to over three hundred times their original value.

Fang Mu and Hu Tao might not have made history on the Battle Network yet, but the price of their performance match tickets had revolutionized the pricing for all Battle Network matches below the Gold Ranking.

Now, many people who previously had no interest in Fang Mu and Hu Tao were suddenly paying close attention to the Peach Wood Team’s matches.
