34: Legendary Man

Chu Kai couldn’t find any opponents among his schoolmates, which is why he became so enthusiastic about random challenge matches; fighting against different people significantly improved his command abilities.

As for everyone else, they were there to observe and learn techniques.

Li Wen had barely settled into his seat when an announcement echoed through the hall.

“ID: 6666, Li Wen, please proceed to Battle Arena 10 to prepare for your match.”

“ID: 5438, Chu Kai, please proceed to Battle Arena 10 to prepare for your match.”

“Pfft~ 5438.” Li Wen had received professional training; no matter how funny something was, he wouldn't laugh unless he couldn't help it, especially with such a coincidence.

[Arena 10: Li Wen VS Chu Kai]

Looking at the information on the screen, unlike Li Wen’s calmness, Chen Ping’s expression at this moment was incredibly animated.

Chen Ping: My wishes came true, he really came?

He quickly opened his phone to confirm if his summoning was successful.

Chen Ping: Where are you now?

Li Wen: At the Second High Battle Hall, what’s up?

Chen Ping: I’m here too, I’m waiting for you at Arena 10.

“How did this guy know I was going there?” Although a bit strange, this wasn’t the key point Li Wen cared about.

Li Wen: No, why are you still here?

Chen Ping: Don’t worry about that, just go all out during the match later.

Li Wen was full of questions. “Did someone else provoke this battle-loving guy?” But he didn’t care; he never gave commands anyway, relying entirely on his Beast. How could that not be going all out?

He typed “OK” on his phone, put it down, and headed straight for Arena 10… Inside Arena 10.

The relatively young referee and medical staff were all ready, and Chu Kai and his group, who had just finished their battle, had returned.

At this time, most of the spectators around were just students, watching their classmates battle as a form of entertainment.

The referee looked at the two participants’ information, thinking, “Another novice. Thinking back to my own performance during the rookie season, I still feel a bit nostalgic for those ‘clumsy chicken pecking’ battles.”

As the referee waited, Li Wen and the other participant entered the arena from the entrance simultaneously, but without any communication.

This was an open-air arena, similar to a stadium with spectator stands, but smaller, as it was for novice-level battles.

As for why it wasn’t indoors, indoor arenas were not at this price point, as a Beastmaster’s privacy was quite valuable.

This type of open, observable outdoor arena was perfect for the passionate temperament of students this age.

“Hello.” Although the referee looked very young, his professionalism was not lacking. Seeing people enter the arena, he immediately responded.

“For this match, it’s Li Wen versus Chu Kai. Who are the two of you?” He began the procedural confirmation.

“I am Li Wen.”

“I am Chu Kai.”

Chu Kai wearing his school uniform met the referee’s expectations, but Li Wen arrived in a white lab coat, making it difficult for the referee to figure out his background.

Chu Kai glanced at Li Wen, directly calling his luck bad. “Why is it another person his age?” Although he wasn’t wearing a school uniform, he wasn’t much older than him.

He originally came here to find some pressure to improve himself, but all the matches he got tonight were against people his age; he had even defeated one of the top three students from First High.

“Can someone give him some ‘social beatings’?”

“Wait, a white lab coat?”

Perhaps it was the strongest of the three from First High, Lu Chen, the “Cultivation Maniac,” whom he had heard about. Chen Ping himself had admitted that he was no match for him now, so it made sense for him to come to battle in a white lab coat.

At this moment, watching the two face off from the stands, Chen Ping’s mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head; he was just short of bursting out laughing.

Some younger students from first and second year, unaware of Li Wen’s situation, asked, “Senior, what’s making you so happy?”

OS: I just thought of something happy.

Chen Ping, adopting a senior’s demeanor, began to act mysterious: “You don’t know, but this battle can be said to be a match between the strongest of First High and the strongest of Second High.”

“The strongest of First High?” The younger students hadn’t seen “Three Heroes Battle the Instructor,” but they had personally witnessed Chen Ping’s Fighting Rock Dog’s power.

At the end of the sparring matches these past two days, the teacher had arranged an exhibition match between the first-place student and Chen Ping, ostensibly to ignite the passion for Beastmasters in the next two batches of students.

In reality, the other two people were busy with their own affairs, while Chen Ping was like a hooligan. The teacher also knew his nature, so he immediately went when notified. Therefore, he was free labor, and it would be a waste not to use him.

So they had a direct experience of Chen Ping’s strength.

Seeing the younger students gradually catch on, Chen Ping continued to enlighten them: “Although you didn’t see it, you should know that the three who successfully took leave did so because they defeated the instructor’s third Beast, right?”

“You wouldn’t think that the three of us teamed up and, with our coordinated efforts, took down the instructor, would you?”

“Isn’t that right?” What Chen Ping said was exactly the outcome they had imagined.

“No, no, no… you are still too young.”

“The truth is, Lu Chen and I initiated this matter, so we wanted to take turns testing the Stone Ape’s strength first.”

“However, our cultivation level is still very different from a professional instructor, so a one-on-one fight was no match.”

“Just as we were preparing to team up after he finished probing, that man made his move. He alone summoned a monstrous Sprout Beast and soloed the instructor.”

“Really? Is it that strong?”

“Of course.” Feeling the worshipful emotions of the younger students made him a bit giddy. Although he knew these emotions weren’t directed at him, they were at least for someone he had fought alongside. From now on, he would be the number one Sprout Beast fan.

“Chu Kai isn’t looking for pressure? Coincidentally, he found it today. As long as Li Wen summons the Sprout Beast, it’ll definitely pressure him to death.”

At this moment, the referee in the arena emphasized again: “I am the administrator and referee of Arena 10. Your arena usage time is only one hour, and the loser of this match will pay the arena fee.”

“Do both of you understand?”

“Understood.”

“Understood.”

“In that case, you can start the battle anytime once you are ready.”

The referee also genuinely liked these direct, concise newcomers, which made his job much easier.

“I am Chu Kai from Second High. I don’t know if you are Lu Chen from First High. I need some pressure right now,” Chu Kai said very seriously, as if he hadn’t heard the previous conversation at all.

Li Wen: “No, why is he mistaking me for Lu Chen? I’m not that arrogant, am I?”

“Even if you don’t say it, I will.” Without further words, he directly began to summon.
