174: Another black fan appears

But she quickly realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately corrected herself:

"I misspoke, I'm your fan."

"I started following you during the Binzhou Cup."

Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged; he simply smiled and replied,

"Thank you."

There were no further words.

The other party seemed a bit awkward, wondering why he wasn't following the script.

However, she considered herself a pretty girl.

She had a little bit of confidence in her looks.

She thought a hot-blooded young man like Lin Shu would surely like her.

And since she had declared herself his fan,

perhaps she could at least lose gracefully.

Just as she was thinking this, Lin Shu released Black Night.

Looking at the two beasts of the black-haired girl opposite him, one was a level 60 plant spirit, clearly her main beast, and the other was a well-trained level 39 Blue Wave Mermaid, not far from Ziyu in level. This strength was quite good for a freshman.

But what did those winks she was giving him mean?

Was she trying to get him to go easy on her?

That depended on whether Black Night agreed.

Black Night looked at the opponent's beasts as if they were children, with an expression of disdain and indifference.

In the center of the battle arena, the referee stood to one side.

Due to staffing issues, it was impossible for all referees to be teachers.

At this time, the university would issue tasks for junior and senior students to act as referees.

Of course, their strength could not be too weak, otherwise they would not be able to handle emergencies.

And the referee for this match was a senior student.

He looked at Lin Shu with interest, carefully sensing Black Night's aura.

Holy cow! A special admissions student, two months into university, and a level six Beastmaster!

It was even more outrageous than what was discussed in the forums.

It truly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the freshmen in the waiting area were also in an uproar.

Some were dumbfounded; the speed of Lin Shu's strength growth truly exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

However, although his level increased quickly, his combat power shouldn't be strong.

After all, all his energy was spent on leveling up, so how could he have time to hone his skills?

Hearing this, Chu Yu, who was nearby, sneered.

You still can't correctly face the gap between yourselves and a genius.

The black-haired girl opposite him was also surprised by Black Night's exaggerated improvement, although she knew his combat power was formidable but not his specific strength.

"Wow!"

She gasped, covering her mouth with her hand.

Looking at Lin Shu's young and handsome appearance, she thought, "Is this what a genius is like?"

Because of this, there was little communication between the two sides; they simply waited for the match to begin.

Without too much delay, the referee, after a brief moment of stunned silence, quickly reacted.

His expression became serious, and he slowly spoke:

"Both sides ready, match start!"

The moment the words ended, Black Night's body transformed into a shadow and disappeared.

The opponent's beasts also immediately sprang into action.

Pale green energy gathered in the air, forming sharp leaf blades.

It must be said that the opponent's combat literacy was clearly excellent.

Unfortunately, her opponent was Lin Shu.

His extremely high combat experience and level, combined with the subtle Black Night Phantom, made his speed so fast that even a typical level seven beast was not as quick as Black Night.

The black-haired girl's pupils contracted when she saw this; she was clearly already struggling to react to the situation.

Then, she saw a platinum-white light appear in her vision, coming with endless sharpness, and its target was herself.

Since it was a melee, it was naturally permissible to attack the opponent's Beastmaster.

This was stated in the rules and was normal behavior.

It was also one of the main tactics for many students with multiple beasts.

Compared to beasts, Beastmasters were essentially ready targets.

In an instant, a huge force sent her flying, slamming heavily onto the hard ground of the arena.

Immediately, she became dizzy and disoriented, with a clear look of astonishment still on her face.

The opponent truly showed no mercy.

He completely disregarded what was said earlier.

At this moment, the flying leaf attack that was about to reach Lin Shu instantly collapsed and dissipated.

The plant spirit in the air immediately spat out blood and fell to the ground, already in a dying state.

Clearly, it was bound by Damage Transfer.

If Black Night hadn't held back, the opponent might have been directly killed by the reflected damage.

Lin Shu saw this scene and remained calm; the opponent wanted to use her extra beast to ambush him.

It was a good method, but unfortunately, her strength did not allow her to do so.

It was destined to fail.

The Blue Wave Mermaid was now in a difficult position, but still bravely released a jet of water to attack.

It completely failed to notice a black phantom appearing behind it.

Black Night merely swung its arm casually, instantly sending it flying backward, and the water jet that was about to be sprayed out was directly swallowed back.

The black-haired girl slowly got up a moment later, and just as she was about to issue her next command, she realized that all her beasts had lost their combat capability.

At this moment, Black Night's sharp blade was only a few centimeters from her neck.

The immense energy contained within and the sharp aura it emitted made her break out in a cold sweat; her beasts had already lost their combat power.

If that blade came down, her life would be in danger.

It was the first time she had directly felt the aura of death.

Cold sweat involuntarily dripped down her body, and she immediately reacted, shouting loudly:

"I surrender!"

"I surrender!"

The repeated cries showed how panicked she was at the moment.

Immediately, mist appeared in her eyes.

One could imagine what a huge blow this battle had dealt her.

From now on, Lin Shu would probably have one more anti-fan.

The referee, hearing this, immediately announced the match result.

His face showed disbelief; Lin Shu's beast strength was somewhat exaggeratedly powerful.

"The opponent surrenders, Lin Shu wins!"

Black Night quickly returned to Lin Shu's side, standing at ease, not at all looking like it had just been through a battle.

Lin Shu looked at the black-haired girl opposite him with a hint of apology.

He hoped she wouldn't blame him.

Then he left the arena with Black Night.

The black-haired girl opposite him squatted on the ground, burying her head in her stomach.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip tightly, controlling her emotions.

From the start to the end of the match, it lasted less than a minute.

The terrifying power of Lin Shu's beast appeared among the students of Central State University for the first time.

Seeing such a scene, the waiting area immediately fell silent.

Especially those who had just said that Lin Shu's beast strength wouldn't be too strong.

After witnessing it, they fell silent.

With such strength, even most of them, facing such a situation, might not have performed as well as that black-haired girl.

Even the top twenty ranked geniuses looked solemn after seeing this scene.

The opponent's beast posed too great a threat to the Beastmaster.

And according to rumors, Lin Shu didn't just have one beast.

Especially since the dragon-type beast he recently contracted hadn't even appeared yet, his strength could be said to be unfathomable.

Now, he had only shown a corner of it.

Lin Shu quickly returned and sat down beside Chu Yu.

Because the match ended so quickly, Li Wen's battle was still just beginning.

It was as simple as finding a random place to go to the bathroom.

This was Chu Yu's current thought.

It seemed Lin Shu was going to make history again, accomplishing an unprecedented feat.

Chu Yu's face was filled with admiration; Black Night's performance just now was extremely over-the-top.

If he didn't activate his Talent, Ice Soul Flying Eagle would not be able to withstand a single blow.

Unconsciously, the gap between his strength and Lin Shu's, from a slight advantage at the beginning to being evenly matched, and then to only being able to see his back, had only taken two months... Without time for further thought, it was immediately his turn to compete.

"Go, Chu Yu!"

Lin Shu raised his fist, smiling as he cheered him on.

"Don't worry, my goal is to reach the top forty!"

At this moment, Chu Yu had already come to terms with it and no longer thought about catching up to Lin Shu.

Instead, he focused on how not to be left too far behind.

After all, a monster like Lin Shu was not someone he could compare to...
