"Excellent!"
Luo Zisong was very satisfied with Lu Yu's arrogant attitude. The two shook hands, their eyes t, and the deal was struck.
Beside them, Chiyue ng tilted her head, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes. She had a feeling that the two people before her…
were silently plotting sothing very wicked.
"I look forward to your performance."
Luo Zisong let go of his hand.
Though he appeared calm, he was actually quite annoyed inside.
That old fool from teorfall City First Middle School had deliberately sent people here for a battle, clearly wanting to show off how talented the students from the school he managed were, trying to one-up him in the field of education!
Impossible!
He, Luo Zisong, had never fallen behind anyone in his life… and even if he did, he wouldn't admit it!
That scoundrel dares to think he can disrupt my Dao Heart!
At the very least, that defeated foe from teorfall City wasn't qualified.
The reason he probably didn't co himself was that he was afraid of being chased down and beaten by him in a fit of anger.
Was he that kind of brute?
Since he was being unkind, he shouldn't bla him for being unjust!
Although Luo Zisong couldn't see through Lu Yu's true strength, possessing such a concealnt ability was already proof that he wasn't simple.
Moreover, based on previous intelligence, Lu Yu had exchanged for this pet beast from the Myriad Beast Tower of the Starry Host with a Gold dal. Its appearance was similar to a Phantom Dream Spider, and considering the recent major movents of the Special Division, it was easy to deduce what had happened.
It could be traced back to the major incident caused by the 【Dream-Eating Cult】 so ti ago, where they attempted to birth a special pet beast capable of Reality-Illusion Transformation. Even though they were ultimately wiped out by the Battle Corps and failed, it still had a malicious impact.
'This kid actually managed to snag a space-type pet beast from the aftermath. He's truly a chosen one.
However, the appearance of this little spider makes wonder, did the Dream-Eating Cult really fail? After all, that place seems to still…'
Luo Zisong pondered, feeling much more at ease.
Although the level gap was huge, the top-tier space-type attribute was right there.
Even if he couldn't win, he could at least secure a draw, easily reclaiming the face that Great Abyss City First High School had lost and securing half of the slots.
Compared to the precious slots for this unexplored mystic realm, a re two million and so student points were small change.
As for the ruins share…
In reality, during the discussion between the two city alliances, they were already willing to give a share to the geniuses who cleared the ruins. There was just one fixed prerequisite: they had to be a mber of the Alliance.
Even if not from a direct lineage, they had to be from the right background, and have a Morning Star Rank Beast Tar as a guarantor to prevent aiding the enemy.
And Lu Yu, possessing a Gold dal, happened to et this condition.
One could say that Luo Zisong was using the Alliance's money to do a favor.
You might profit, but I will definitely not lose!
Thinking of this, a foxy, treacherous smile appeared on Luo Zisong's face as he swayed towards the Combat Platform.
At this mont, the fourth defense match was underway.
It was a female student about to graduate.
Her pet beast was a High-tier Elite water-type Water-Treading Blue Wolf. Its appearance wasn't much different from a normal wolf, except its whole body was blue and grew tentacles that looked like flowing water.
It was manipulating a large amount of water to attack the Snow Ghost Shield Crab, but unfortunately, the white fur on its body had powerful water-storage properties. This level of attack was completely painless for it.
On the contrary, every Frost Breath from the Snow Ghost Shield Crab was a huge threat to the Water-Treading Blue Wolf, forcing it to passively dodge.
Even the water streams it controlled could be turned into a sharp weapon by its opponent.
Everyone knew it was destined to lose.
"Are we really going to get shaved bald…" (A term for losing every match in a competition.
)
"Li Yun's Jade Water Blue Wolf is already the highest-tier among these senior students. The rest are at most Early-stage Elite, but even Qi Wei lost, let alone them…"
"Why isn't President Chiyue making a move?"
"I heard she's already a Gold Beast Tar and doesn't et the conditions to participate. The other two are probably the sa, and they're not at school."
"Is there no one else besides them? To think the strongest is a transfer student.
Is the gap between Great Abyss City and teorfall City really that big?"
"Speaking of which, I think I had a chance to study in teorfall City before, sigh…"
"…"
The atmosphere below the stage grew silent. The Great Abyss City High School side was in a state of depression.
After all, four consecutive defeats felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over them in the middle of winter for these young people still in their Ivory Tower.
Feeling the cruelty of the outside world, it was inevitable to feel a little dejected.
In contrast, the teorfall City side was beaming with joy.
"Damn it, he got to show off all by himself this ti.
We have to make him treat us to a al!"
"Haha, Fu Feng is really going to beco a legend in both teorfall City and Great Abyss City high schools this ti."
"If my Sickle Sprite wasn't only good at attacking, with poor defense and endurance, I would've wanted to try a defense match myself."
"…"
Although most of them hadn't fought, getting precious slots while lying down was also a good thing.
But they weren't stupid. They had to be low-key on soone else's turf, so they chose to discuss in low voices, not further provoking Great Abyss City High School.
After all, it was a friendly match, and so face had to be saved.
But this arrogant and triumphant look of victory still stung the hearts of many students.
Wang Xingjian's face was ashen. Su Bin, standing beside him, didn't offer any hypocritical comfort, just said simply:
"We were just lucky."
"Your cohort this year is indeed outstanding…"
Teaching Director Wang Xingjian forced a smile uglier than a crying face.
Just as he was contemplating what to do, he suddenly saw a thin figure walking over with a cane. Startled, he hurriedly went up to greet him:
"Principal Luo, what are you doing here?"
"If I didn't co, you'd probably lose them all.
Then I'd have to shalessly beg for slots!"
Luo Zisong shook his head and sighed, making Wang Xingjian blush and say with sha:
"It's my fault. I've been lax with the students' requirents these years. From now on, I'll definitely make them work twice as hard."
Luo Zisong nodded, gratified, "It's not too late to recognize it now.
As the First Border City, Great Abyss City has been at peace for too long. It's a good thing, but it also erodes one's will…"
Wang Xingjian sighed, "It seems we can only give up the slots this ti…"
"Give them up? Why should we give them up?"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Luo Zisong, who said with a smile:
"I've already invited a heavy-hitter to step in. You should know him, his surna is Lu."
Lu? Did he invite the Lu Coming Buddha? [TL] A pun on "如来佛祖" (Tathagata Buddha), the highest Buddha.
Wang Xingjian is sarcastically wondering if they invited a god-like figure surnad Lu.
Wang Xingjian almost blurted it out, but thankfully swallowed it back in ti, otherwise Luo Zisong would have definitely cleaned house.
However, he was still a little confused. Was there a Silver Rank Beast Tar with the surna Lu in the school?
As for Lu Yu, he subconsciously ignored him.
After all, although this person was also a genius, he had been quiet for three months and had only recently redeed a pet beast. He had seen the video and roughly analyzed it.
A large part of the reason was that the Bronze-armored Baboon hadn't reacted in ti and was directly bound, leading to the crushing victory.
If it had been prepared, although it would still have lost, it wouldn't have been so miserable.
And that little spider's strength was probably High-tier Servant. With its attribute bonus, according to normal logic, even if Lu Yu leveled up quickly, he should be at Peak Red Copper Rank at most.
After all, in this world, increasing one's strength not only required a large amount of resources but also the stability of one's own Reason.
And this… didn't seem to fit Lu Yu.
Without his parents' support, his ntal state was also a problem.
So he was also very confused about who it could be.
Soon, Li Yun on the Combat Platform was defeated. The Snow Ghost Shield Crab seized an opportunity, the ground under the Water-Treading Blue Wolf froze, a slip of the foot exposed a weakness, and a large part of its body was frozen.
Wang Xingjian had already expected this. Coupled with the mysterious person the principal had ntioned, he wasn't too disappointed and calmly announced:
"The winner is Fu Feng!"
As his voice fell, cheers erupted from the teorfall City side, while the atmosphere in Great Abyss City grew even more depressed.
Su Bin and Zhu Fei were also pleasantly surprised. This ti had gone much more smoothly than they had imagined.
Then they saw Luo Zisong next to Wang Xingjian and bowed slightly to show respect.
Luo Zisong nodded in response, not saying much.
Soon, the fifth match was about to begin, but most of the people from Great Abyss City High School had lost the desire to watch. So even started to get up, preparing to leave.
"The challenger for the fifth match is…"
Wang Xingjian, however, received a new list. After seeing the na, he was stunned, his expression incredibly complex.
This reaction attracted the attention of many people.
Who had co?
Wang Xingjian quickly adjusted his emotions and read it out:
"Challenger, Lu Yu!"
As his voice fell, the whole place went silent, and looks of astonishnt appeared on everyone's faces.
"Lu Yu?"
Su Bin and Zhu Fei exchanged a glance, a hint of confusion in their eyes. Having read the relevant information, they naturally knew of him.
But… wasn't Lu Yu at Peak Red Copper Rank strength? Challenging across a major rank, wasn't that a bit too unwise?
"Lu Yu? Didn't he just form his contract?"
"Could he have advanced to Silver Rank? But that's too fast, isn't it? It feels a bit unreal."
"Even if he's Silver Rank, facing a Snow Ghost Shield Crab with hopelessly high defense, there's nothing he can do.
This ti, that little spider of his will probably have a hard ti even breaking its defense…"
"…"
Many people from Great Abyss City High School grumbled in their hearts, while others whispered with their friends.
But the general aning was…
Confusion?
Wasn't Lu Yu just asking for a beating by challenging him with this level of strength?
However, Qi Wei raised his head, a deep look in his eyes, and said seriously to these people:
"If it's Lu Yu, there's absolutely no problem. He might even crush that guy."
But after he spoke, others just smiled without a word, thinking this guy had gone mad from his celebrity worship.
After all, his little essay was still posted on his Monts, had been reposted countless tis, and had beco a joke.
Everyone knew that Qi Wei was Lu Yu's die-hard fan.
It was normal for him to be blindly confident.
But in the eyes of most people, the fact that Lu Yu could even battle was already rapid progress.
How could he possibly crush anyone?
Wang Xingjian was also a bit dazed. After stepping down from the Combat Platform, he asked in a low voice:
"Is this really okay?"
"Don't worry."
Luo Zisong said calmly, "Everything is under control."
At worst, it would be a draw.
Soon, under everyone's gaze, Lu Yu leisurely walked onto the Combat Platform. With his handso face and dashing figure, even if he looked a bit weak, he gave off the feeling of a sickly, noble young master.
At least in terms of appearance, his charm was MAX. He could directly guest star in so Beast Taming Idol Dramas.
Many people were also sowhat expectant. After all, Lu Yu's previous performance had been quite impressive.
Especially with that powerful space-type pet beast, maybe there was really a hope of winning!
As for Fu Feng… after seeing Lu Yu, he was first stunned, then his expression beca excited, and he blurted out:
"You're that… oh, no, Lu Yu?"
The others were puzzled. Did these two know each other?
Lu Yu frowned.
He had a feeling the other party was thinking sothing rude, but as a polite scumbag Beast Tar, he still nodded.
"Great…"
Fu Feng clenched his fists.
Although he had heard the na while listening to the two teachers chat, he hadn't seen a photo.
But now that he saw him, it was the boy who was close to Chiyue ng.
He originally thought it was unlikely he would get to fight him.
He didn't expect that heaven would send the opportunity back to him!
The boy who had ended his crush before it even began, whom he thought was so super genius, turned out to be a Beast Tar not even at Silver Rank.
Did he advance? Or was he just putting on a brave front?
But it didn't matter to him. Young people all had a competitive streak.
Since he was behind in terms of looks, he would find a sense of superiority in other areas.
Thinking of this, Fu Feng changed his previous arrogance, pretending to be a calm and mature adult, and said:
"Fine, I accept your challenge."
Lu Yu glanced at him, shook his head, and said with disdain:
"The one I want to fight isn't you.
According to the rules, I should be able to switch opponents, right?"
As his voice fell, the entire arena fell deathly silent.
Switch opponents?
The surrounding students and teachers looked at each other in dismay.
Their first reaction was that Lu Yu was scared. He didn't want to challenge the strongest among the teorfall City High School students and wanted to switch to a weaker opponent?
Thinking of this, soone couldn't help but sneer, saying in a aningful tone, "As expected of a tactical genius, truly clever…"
The voice wasn't loud, but all the Beast Tars present could hear it and understand its aning, implying that Lu Yu would stoop to any ans for victory.
But on second thought, although it was a bit shaless, this was indeed the best way to get a slot.
After all, this was stated to be a battle competition.
The arena defense format wasn't specified in advance; Fu Feng had requested it himself. The participants from Great Abyss City had the right to refuse and choose other opponents.
It was just… a little embarrassing.
"What on earth is he doing?"
Wang Xingjian turned his head with a look of astonishnt, wanting to see the principal's reaction, only to find him with his head lowered, seemingly unconcerned.
Could he have a backup plan?
Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease, but he didn't notice that Luo Zisong had lowered his head only to hide the look of bewildernt on his face.
What the hell is this kid up to?
Make a scene, yes, but I didn't tell you to make a laughingstock of yourself!
If you pick a weak opponent, even if you win, it's aningless.
You'll just be ridiculed by everyone.
I've already made my bold claims.
If you drop the ball, I'll lose face along with you!
But Luo Zisong was ultimately old and cunning, with excellent self-control. He raised his head, preparing to see what Lu Yu would do next.
"Not challenging Fu Feng…"
Qi Wei was also stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lu Yu on the stage, his gaze firm and unwavering, because he believed that with this guy's strength, he was more than capable of sweeping through everything.
After all, the scene of him suppressing the Stitched Demon was still fresh in his mind.
There was absolutely no need to pick a weak opponent, unless…
Qi Wei thought of a possibility, his eyes widening as he murmured:
"It can't be what I'm thinking, can it…"
Fu Feng also frowned, not expecting this guy to evade the battle.
His opinion of him couldn't help but drop a few notches. He couldn't help but glance at the distant, calm-faced Chiyue ng, feeling a little regretful.
Such a beautiful girl, what a pity her taste in n is so poor.
You can't just judge people by their faces.
You could occasionally look at an honest guy like !
But since it was within the rules, Fu Feng couldn't refuse. He frowned and asked:
"Who do you want to challenge?"
No matter who it was, he'd just get back on stage after they were done!
Lu Yu didn't play riddle gas.
He looked at the area where the teorfall High School students were behind him and said:
"Because your school's students are a bit disappointing, I don't want to waste ti. I'll just directly challenge your supervising teacher. That's right, that teacher in the black clothes."
You get what you pay for.
With enough money, he would risk life and limb for the school!
Who has ti to dawdle and fight students? Let's just take a shortcut and fight your teacher directly.
"Is this guy insane?"
When such arrogant words were spoken, it was like a drop of water in a pot of hot oil, instantly causing an uproar.
Fu Feng was also stunned. He turned back to look at the shocked Zhu Fei in his black clothes, a stampede of ten thousand alpacas running through his mind.
Lu Yu wasn't timid at all; on the contrary, he was audacious and reckless.
The one he picked wasn't a student…
But a supervising teacher!
An Early-stage Gold Rank Beast Tar!
Everyone's eyes widened, looking at Lu Yu on the stage as if he were a madman.
Not long ago, he was rely at the Red Copper Rank. After such a short ti, he was delusional enough to challenge a Gold Rank Beast Tar.
Even if you were to fight above your rank, this wasn't how you did it!
Did he really think that the crazier a Beast Tar was, the stronger they beca?
The group from teorfall High School was also stunned.
They had seen arrogant people, but never this arrogant!
"What on earth is this guy trying to do?"
Su Bin's brows were tightly furrowed, but Zhu Fei wasn't angry.
He looked at Lu Yu on the stage, a trace of doubt in his eyes. For so reason, he had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this kind of person sowhere before…
Teaching Director Wang Xingjian was dumbfounded.
Luo Zisong, beside him, also tightened his grip on his cane, with only one thought left in his mind.
I told you to fight the student, and you go and fight the teacher!?
"Are you kidding ?"
Before Zhu Fei could speak, Fu Feng, having regained his senses, laughed in anger, feeling that the other party was toying with him.
Even he didn't have the confidence to challenge a Gold Rank Beast Tar, let alone the seemingly newly-advanced Silver Rank Lu Yu before him.
If this wasn't grandstanding, what was?
He had intended to leave him a little respect, but at this mont, Fu Feng was genuinely furious.
He sneered:
"You're bringing up the rules, so I can also say that the rules only ntion challenging students. If you really want to challenge Teacher Zhu Fei, you have to beat first.
Otherwise, you're just wasting everyone's ti…"
Lu Yu kindly reminded him, "Fine, but I'm very strong."
Most people let out a low chuckle upon hearing this.
It wasn't mockery, but they were clearly enjoying the show.
Fu Feng had lost interest in talking and interrupted:
"Let's begin!"
As the referee, Wang Xingjian ca on stage.
He gave Lu Yu a deep look. Although he didn't understand what he was trying to do, he still announced the start of the match.
"I wonder if your arrogance can get past my Snow Ghost Shield…"
Before Fu Feng could finish his sentence, a huge muffled sound, like an air explosion, ca from beside him. The air, under imnse force, suddenly accelerated, and a fierce wind howled, whipping small grains of sand against his face.
"What's going on!?"
Fu Feng hurriedly turned his head, only to see a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life…
A black and red figure, as fast as lightning, descended like a teor from the sky and landed on the Snow Ghost Shield Crab. Before the latter could even react, it raised a leg and stomped down!
Rumble!
With it at the center, countless huge cracks spread across the entire arena.
A cloud of dust rose, obscuring everyone's vision, and the ground was torn apart at that mont.
The Snow Ghost Shield Crab was stomped directly into the ground.
In the process, ice shards and pieces of its carapace flew out, and blood splattered everywhere.
This violent tremor almost made Fu Feng fall to the ground.
However, when he felt the Snow Ghost Shield Crab, which had already fainted in their soul link, his expression turned from astonishnt to terror.
Others eat soft rice because that's all they can eat.
But when Lu Yu eats soft rice and tries to use the back door, it's simply because he doesn't want to bully children.
Since soone paid to see a big show, then before the main course, Lu Yu would provide a complintary appetizer…
He'd start by instantly killing a Peak Elite to warm up!
The many Beast Tars who were prepared to watch Lu Yu's downfall saw this scene, and with shock mixed with disbelief, they spoke out:
"How is that possible!?"
