162: Isn’t this the son of luck?

As the National Freshman Competition progressed to the third round, the battles between the university teams became even more intense.

Top universities like Huaqing University and Southern Saint University each faced powerful opponents.

Besides these top universities, the opponents faced by other university teams were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

However... this did not include Blazing Dragon University.

After Wang Chen revealed the strength of his Dragon, all the spectators who came to watch the competition, and even the competing teams, reached a consensus in their hearts.

With Wang Chen present in this year's National Freshman Competition, Blazing Dragon University would be unstoppable.

No one believed that Blazing Dragon University would fail under these circumstances, so the vast majority of the audience shifted their focus regarding the outcome to how long Blazing Dragon University's opponents could hold on.

At this moment.

As the twenty-four competing teams entered the battle Secret Realm, the discussions in the Grand Stadium surged like waves, one after another.

"Wushan University is going to be unlucky this time!"

"Being matched against Blazing Dragon University in the top twenty-four to twelve round, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to maintain their ranking from previous years!"

"Hahaha, I wonder if Wushan University will be like Binghuang University, easily crushed by Wang Chen's pet Dragon, and set a new record for the fastest elimination?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Wang Chen's pet Dragon was already exposed yesterday; Wushan University should have formulated targeted tactics, so they should at least last longer than Binghuang University!"

"..."

In the spectator stands, all the audience members watched the giant screen in the sky with great interest.

But the vast majority of eyes were fixed on the live broadcast screen showing Blazing Dragon University and Wushan University.

And they were one-sidedly convinced that Blazing Dragon University's victory was inevitable and that Wushan University's defeat was only a matter of time.

"That's not necessarily true!"

"Wushan University and Binghuang University are on par in terms of strength, and their rankings in previous years are similar. Even if they have taken precautionary measures, everything is futile in the face of absolute strength!"

"Exactly! So what if they target Wang Chen's pet Dragon? He preserved a large part of his strength during yesterday's battle. Not only did he not make a move himself, but he also had another pet that didn't make a move!"

"I think the battle between Blazing Dragon University and Wushan University won't be any different from the one against Binghuang University yesterday!"

"..."

Amidst the discussions, everyone looked down on Wushan University and firmly believed that it would soon follow in the footsteps of Binghuang University.

Meanwhile.

In the spectator areas of the various universities, the battle between Blazing Dragon University and Wushan University also captured the attention of the vast majority of the team leaders present.

"Old Chen, give me the bottom line. Did you actually give Wang Chen proper instructions yesterday?"

The team leader of Wushan University quietly leaned over to the composed Chen Xiaolin and asked with a very complicated tone.

At one time, replacing Blazing Dragon University's position had been Wushan University's goal.

Even before the start of the second round of the official competition, this goal of Wushan University had never wavered.

But now... looking at the composed Chen Xiaolin, the Wushan University team leader's mood was extremely complicated.

From chasing after Blazing Dragon University to now hoping not to be beaten too badly.

The gap between this, even though he was a Seventh-Turn powerhouse, inevitably affected his state of mind.

"Rest assured!"

"Everything is under control!"

Hearing his old friend's words, Chen Xiaolin nodded faintly, looking as if everything was under control, his aura of superiority fully maximized.

Seeing this, the Wushan University team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, seeing Chen Xiaolin acting so smug, the only emotion he would feel was disdain.

But looking at it now, he inexplicably felt a bit at ease.

Life is truly full of surprises!

"Old Chen! Why is your Blazing Dragon University so lucky?"

"Your momentum had just declined a bit last year, yet this year you recruited such a Genius student."

After receiving the reply, the Wushan University team leader was not in a hurry to leave; he sat down beside Chen Xiaolin and started chatting, his words filled with envy.

The potential displayed by one Wang Chen exceeded all the freshmen recruited by Wushan University this year.

How could such a favored child of heaven be so luckily picked up by Blazing Dragon University?

And he is even a Giant-Beast Master, such a special profession...

This made the Wushan University team leader, who had always believed in the theory of power, inevitably feel some emotion regarding the elusive nature of Luck.

The Giant-Beast Master profession was almost considered one that could never grow up on Blue Star.

Yet Wang Chen went against common sense and created a miracle out of the impossible.

This was simply like a Child of Luck in a novel!

"Hehe!"

Hearing his old friend's words, Chen Xiaolin grinned, his face showing undisguised smugness.

"You don't understand. This isn't just good Luck; it's because we have the Wisdom Eye to recognize talent, and we discovered Wang Chen, this shining pearl!"

"Do you know that in order to recruit Wang Chen, we directly offered a Divine Beast cub!"

Chen Xiaolin said with a smile, his tone incomparably self-satisfied.

Hearing his words, the Wushan University teacher nodded, his expression thoughtful.

A Divine Beast cub! In any university, this was the most top-tier resource, something countless people dreamed of.

Never mind using it to recruit a freshman; it would even be enough to recruit a Seventh-Turn powerhouse.

Blazing Dragon University had such courage; it was only right that they should stand out in the National Freshman Competition!

This... is not something one can be envious of!

"By the way..." The Wushan University team leader suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Chen Xiaolin:

"Is the Divine Beast cub you offered the little fox on Wang Chen's shoulder? Which type of Divine Beast is it?"

"Uh..." Chen Xiaolin's expression stalled upon hearing this, and he laughed it off, saying:

"That is the Divine Beast Nine-tailed Fox; it is a pet Wang Chen found himself. What we prepared was a Howling Moon Silver Wolf."

"Oh?"

"A Nine-tailed Fox?"

The Wushan University team leader's expression was somewhat surprised.

The Nine-tailed Fox was also a renowned and powerful existence among Divine Beasts; relying on its charm abilities, it was enough to stand among the top-tier Divine Beasts.

However...

"Wang Chen contracted the Nine-tailed Fox when he was at the Second-Turn, so doesn't that mean he has already prepared his Third-Turn pet?"

"After the National Freshman Competition, once this kid enters the Third-Turn, will his strength experience another surge?"

Looking at Chen Xiaolin, the Wushan University team leader was filled with shock.

However, upon hearing his words, Chen Xiaolin's mouth twitched, and he said in an incredibly strange tone:

"That's not it..."

"After that kid Wang Chen got the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, he turned around and gave it away."
