181: It overturned
Du Feiyu never expected that he would one day become a human projectile.
And to be pinned against the wall, the kind that couldn't be peeled off.
He wanted to call his Great Spirit Sparrow for help, but then a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and a black sparrow, occasionally crackling with electricity, had already appeared beside him.
"Du Feiyu!" Lin Chen and the others also saw this scene and were immediately shocked.
However, when they realized that Teacher Xu was the one who made a move, everyone was startled and quickly distanced themselves from her.
"Relax, relax! I only intervene occasionally to remind those overly complacent students!" Teacher Xu waved her hand, reassuring everyone.
The surrounding crowd immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If the Counselor were to act arbitrarily, none of them would likely remain in the arena.
However, Lin Chen, upon hearing this, fell into deep thought. The three people remaining in the arena would be the winners, but did that include the Counselor?
"Lin Chen! More people are coming, get him out!" Shen Congwen's shout came from beside him. Regardless of whether Du Feiyu was eliminated, they were already targeted by others.
Since it was the first class meeting and everyone was unfamiliar with each other, they naturally formed groups by dormitory for the confrontation.
With one person less on their side, they were naturally targeted by more dormitories around them.
"Morning Dew, Light Echo!" Lin Chen snapped back to attention and immediately ordered Morning Dew.
In such a large-scale battle, Light Echo's destructive power was undoubtedly the greatest, not to mention its continuous stacking enhancement effect, making it a powerful tool for team battles.
Many recognized this as Student Lin Chen's signature skill. To prevent it from accumulating damage, they all dropped their current opponents and charged towards Morning Dew.
But Morning Dew was a flying-type spirit beast, and few could touch it while it flew in the air. The few who could get close were intercepted by Yi Yang's Green Mulberry Butterfly.
A group of avian spirit beasts maneuvered in the sky, while below, Angelica also displayed her powerful close-quarters combat skills for the first time.
Together with Shen Congwen's Active Ape, she firmly protected the three of them in the middle. Anyone who dared to approach would be met with a rabbit kick, resulting in the attacker being "either dead or injured."
"Oh~~ What a cute little rabbit! Those kicks are really powerful!" Teacher Xu said with admiration.
"Of course, Angelica is the cutest Fragrant Flower Rabbit!" Lin Chen said proudly.
At this point, they had fought and retreated, returning to Teacher Xu's side. The Wanderer Duck and Pondering Goose had put considerable pressure on them, but it was better than being eliminated from the arena.
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of this year's specially recruited New Student, the top person in the Nurturing Department! The way you nurture spirit beasts is truly unique."
"Everyone else nurtures Fragrant Flower Rabbits towards the healing system, but how did you think of nurturing it towards the Fighting System?"
"Teacher, you flatter me. It's just that I often saw Fragrant Flower Rabbit liking to kick people, so I simply let it kick to its heart's content!" Lin Chen replied modestly.
"So that's it. Student Lin Chen truly has a unique talent in nurturing spirit beasts!" Teacher Xu said.
Lin Chen was about to offer a few more modest words when he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, sensing that he was locked onto by some kind of mental power.
He immediately grabbed Teacher Xu's arm, and in her surprised gaze, the two of them 'whooshed' out of the arena.
"Bang!"
The sudden weight seemed to have caused the Pondering Goose to miscalculate. The two fell to the ground a short distance from the Battle Arena, just barely avoiding elimination.
"You!" Teacher Xu's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Lin Chen to react so quickly and grab her immediately.
Because of this, when the Pondering Goose used its psychic power to send Lin Chen out of the arena, it also dragged her along, almost trapping itself.
"Teacher Xu, I apologize for the offense!" He looked up and saw Lin Chen grinning at her.
A strong force came from his arm again, and Lin Chen actually pulled her hand and swung her out of the arena.
How powerful were the physical qualities of a Beast Tamer? If she were to be thrown out by him now, she might really be eliminated.
A moment of surprise flashed through Teacher Xu's heart, then she also smiled at Lin Chen, grabbing his arm and refusing to let go, wanting to drag him out with her.
Lin Chen's expression changed slightly. He failed to throw her out; instead, due to the inertia in his arm, Teacher Xu swung back, and he himself stumbled forward.
Their positions instantly swapped.
"Hoo~~~" A ball of fire emerged from Lin Chen's chest.
In the moment of crisis, he immediately chose to summon Spirit Sand.
The scorching Flame Lion had already received Lin Chen's command and, the moment it was summoned, bit towards Teacher Xu's wrist.
The slight smugness that had just arisen instantly vanished. The beautiful female Counselor immediately let go; she didn't want a string of tooth marks on the back of her hand.
"Roar!"
Spirit Sand let out a low growl, immediately stopped biting, and used the force of its pounce to collide directly with Teacher Xu. Both the person and the beast fell out of the Battle Arena.
And Lin Chen, already off balance, hadn't even had time to think about how to keep his spot when he felt a strong force from his back, sending him flying forward.
"Thud!"
Falling headfirst to the ground, Lin Chen didn't bother to get up.
He knew without thinking that the kick from behind must have come from the Wanderer Duck, but being able to make an extreme 1-for-1 trade and take Teacher Xu out was worth it.
"Chirp~~~" "Jigoo!!"
Morning Dew and Angelica's cries came from behind him. Lin Chen got up, turned around, and saw them rushing towards him with anxious expressions.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Lin Chen waved at them with a smile, hugged Spirit Sand, who had pounced on him first, and looked at Teacher Xu not far away.
"Teacher, being out of bounds counts as failure, does that also include spirit beasts?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Morning Dew and Angelica also received his message and stopped in place, not rushing out of the Battle Arena, though the expressions on their faces made them look anxious.
"Yes, yes, it includes them. They are there to protect your safety and are not participating in the battle anymore!" Teacher Xu said irritably, feeling very depressed.
She couldn't believe she actually messed up? Not taken out by a spirit beast, but dragged out by a Beast Tamer? That would be too embarrassing to tell anyone!
Teacher Xu looked up and gave Lin Chen, who was covered in mud, a resentful look.
This New Student was very clever; otherwise, if she had stayed in the arena, none of these New Students would have passed the assessment!
