Chapter 114: His Win Rate Is At Most Two Percent
After hearing Hash’s rough assessment of the combat effectiveness ranks of the Metal-feathered Eagle and the Leaf-eared Cat, the spectator stand, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly erupted into a commotion.
“On one side is the Metal-feathered Eagle whose evolution is incomplete and has a combat effectiveness rank of Silver-rank, nine Stars. On the other side is the Leaf-eared Cat who has successfully evolved and has a combat effectiveness rank of Gold-rank, three stars. The gap between these three ranks is not something that can be easily made up for with the commanding ability of a Beast Tamer.”
“Also, there is a vine belt wrapped around the abdomen of the Metal-feathered Eagle. Although under Her Excellency Hash’s control, the Absorption Vine doesn’t absorb the spiritual energy of the Metal-feathered Eagle, it will still affect its movements.”
“Therefore, I think that under these circumstances, the Metal-feathered Eagle will at most have a win rate of two percent. One percent of the win rate is that the Metal-feathered Eagle just happens to be a metal-type spirit beast that counters plant-type spirit beasts like the Leaf-eared Cat.”
“In that case, the remaining one percent win rate should be because its Beast Tamer is Giles, right? After all, Giles was the dark horse who won the championship of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament last month.”
“Agreed! At the very least, I also think that Giles’ ability to command is stronger than Annie, who is a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. If he were to command a Gold-rank one-star Metal-feathered Eagle to fight a Gold-rank four-star Leaf-eared Cat, his chances of winning would increase to at least 20%!”
“Yeah, although in both situations, there is a difference of three combat effectiveness ranks between both sides, some spirit beasts will evolve after their combat effectiveness rank has reached Gold rank, one star.”
“Although Giles’ Silver-rank, nine-star Metal-feathered Eagle is currently in a state of incomplete evolution, the fact that it had an incomplete evolution this time means that if it can increase its combat effectiveness rank to Gold-rank, one star, it should be able to complete its evolution.”
“The difference of the three combat effectiveness ranks before and after evolution is still very large. Hah, it’s a pity that the Metal-feathered Eagle is in a state of incomplete evolution.”
“That’s right. If it has completely evolved, under Giles’ command, it should be able to fight the Leaf-eared Cat for a while. At that time, it’s really hard to say who will win.”
“…”
Although there was a thick spiritual energy shield between Hash and the spectators, in order to let the spectators hear the umpire’s judgment and the Beast Tamers’ commands, the soundproofing ability of the spiritual energy shield was not strong.
Therefore, Hash could clearly hear the spectators’ opinions and discussions.
As an Elite Beast Tamer, Hash did not arrogantly scoff at the opinions of these spectators.
In contrast, even though Hash was the judge and witness of this ability evaluation, she had also felt from the bottom of her heart that this ability evaluation was actually unfair to Giles.
Just like what the spectators were discussing, under normal circumstances, based on the Metal-feathered Eagle’s current combat effectiveness rank and its incomplete evolution, it was almost impossible for it to defeat Annie’s Leaf-eared Cat whose combat effectiveness rank was at Gold rank, three stars.
However, judging from what Giles had said to Annie and the Metal-feathered Eagle’s reaction to the battle just now, at the very least, Giles and his Metal-feathered Eagle both agreed that they had a chance of winning against Annie’s Leaf-eared Cat
Moreover, Giles seemed to think that he would definitely win against Annie.
Therefore, Hash was also very curious about the process of this ability evaluation.
She wanted to know what kind of surprises Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle could bring her.
As for what advantage Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle had, Hash had a different opinion from the spectators.
Comparing the attributes of the spirit beast, the advantage the Metal-feathered Eagle has in fighting the Leaf-eared Cat is indeed that the metal attribute counters the plant attribute.
However, the key to determining victory is actually Giles, who is commanding the Metal-feathered Eagle outside the arena.
At that thought, Hash tilted her head slightly in Giles’ direction.
She saw that Giles’ lips were curled up slightly, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
After finding out that the Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank was at Gold rank three stars, he did not show any signs of panic.
The Metal-feathered Eagle that was flying beside him did not show any fear either.
Hash could even detect a fighting spirit in the Metal-feathered Eagle’s eyes.
Looks like it’s just as I thought. Even if no one thinks highly of them, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle are still confident of winning.
When Hash noticed the expressions on Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle’s faces, she couldn’t help but admire them.
Although just like the Leaf-eared Cat, the Metal-feathered Eagle is a new spirit beast that has just been discovered, Giles already knew that the Leaf-eared Cat had evolved from the previous Green-tailed Cat.
As far as I know, Annie challenged Starlux Gym three times last month.
During this period, she would occasionally bring her Green-tailed Cat to Starlux Gym for training.
So, I think Giles is already familiar with Annie’s Green-tailed Cat.
Even if it has evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat, the skills it uses in combat basically wouldn’t change.
On the other hand, Annie, who has never seen the Metal-feathered Eagle, has no idea about its skills.
This ‘lack of information’ is precisely the biggest advantage that Giles has! It is also the key to determining the outcome of this challenge!
After sensing Hash’s gaze, Giles turned his head to the Metal-feathered Eagle flying beside him and pointed to the arena filled with trees and shrubs.
“Metal-feathered Eagle, fly into the arena and prepare for battle!”
“This is your first official match, so don’t leave any regrets.”
“You have to enjoy this battle to the fullest and show the fruits of our training.”
The flying Metal-feathered Eagle nodded vigorously at Giles.
Then, it resolutely flew into the forest filled with trees and shrubs.
In the face of Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle, who were filled with fighting spirit, Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat, who were the challengers, were infected by their emotions.
They also quickly found the feeling that they had when they first challenged the gym.
“Leaf-eared Cat, this is our first gym challenge after your evolution.”
“Moreover, this battle environment is also the most suitable place for you to perform.”
“Therefore, go all out! This is the greatest respect you can show towards Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle!”
“Meow!”
The Leaf-eared Cat, who was squatting beside Annie, let out a loud and clear cry.
Then, it got up and leapt straight into the bushes in the arena.
The Metal-feathered Eagle flapped its wings above the arena.
The Leaf-eared Cat, which had crawled into the bushes, was nowhere to be found.
Seeing this, Hash nodded slightly.
She raised her right hand and signaled to everyone.
“The ability evaluation officially begins now!”
