72: Ranked Battle Begins

On a beautiful, sunny afternoon, the sky above Blazing Dragon University's living quarters suddenly churned with wind and clouds.

A terrifying creature, a hundred meters long with nine tails, appeared in the sky. Her peach-pink eyes emitted a magnificent glow, and she scanned the ground with an arrogant gaze, as if surveying her own territory.

At this moment, everyone in the entire living quarters, the entire Blazing Dragon University, stopped their actions and looked up at the sky in disbelief.

“This… This is?!!!”

“A celestial phenomenon?!”

“A Universe-level Divine Beast, a Nine-tailed Fox?!!!”

“Oh my god! I must be dreaming!!!”

“…”

Everyone who witnessed this scene uttered sounds of disbelief.

However, in the next second, all these sounds vanished.

An invisible wave swept through, and everyone who looked into the Nine-tailed Fox's peach-red eyes couldn't help but feel their faces flush and their breathing quicken.

Especially their eyes, which revealed a look of infatuation.

The scent of spring quietly permeated the crowd.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

At this moment, sounds of tearing through the air rang out, and over a dozen figures flew in one after another above Blazing Dragon University's living quarters.

These figures varied in appearance, but the aura of each had already reached Six-Turn and above.

“A Universe-level Divine Beast, a Nine-tailed Fox? This is a Bloodline projection!”

“Among this year's new students, someone was lucky enough to contract such a terrifying existence?”

A bald, middle-aged man with a powerful aura stared intently at the Nine-tailed Fox phantom in the sky, his body trembling.

A Universe-level Divine Beast, as long as it grows naturally, its strength can reach Eight-Turn; it is simply the Beast Pet everyone dreams of.

“Our Combat Academy wants this student! I'm going to personally take him as my student!”

Teacher Zhao's gaze swept fiercely around, his face showing an expression of willingness to do anything.

“Teacher Zhao, you're dreaming!”

A woman in a magic robe stepped forward, confronting the bald middle-aged man. She was extremely beautiful, but her words were anything but polite.

“Are your Combat Academy's brains all muscle? This is a Nine-tailed Fox, a charm-type Universe-level Divine Beast. With such a Beast Pet, this student is naturally a talent for our Magic Academy!”

“Go to your Combat Academy? Are you going to make him clash head-on with enemies?”

“Both of you move aside, you've already reserved all the Geniuses. This student must be given to our Support Academy no matter what. The Nine-tailed Fox's innate charm makes her the best partner for the Assistant route!”

“…”

Seeing the Magic Academy and Combat Academy begin to contend, the Support Academy in the crowd couldn't help but join in.

For a time, a group of teachers clamored non-stop in the sky, their faces red and necks thick from arguing, looking as if they were about to break into a full-blown fight.

“Enough!”

Just then, a voice laced with anger suddenly rang out, instantly quieting the chaotic teachers in the sky.

The next second, a slender figure appeared before them; it was a man with a gentle aura.

“Dean!”

Seeing this person, the teachers, whose faces were red from arguing, quickly bowed and greeted him.

“Hmph!”

The Dean snorted in response: “You're making a fool of yourselves here before even confirming the student's identity?”

“And why aren't you dealing with the chaos around you! The charming aura emitted by the Nine-tailed Fox is not something those little guys below Rank 3 can resist!”

Scolding them, he waved his palm, and an invisible force directly slammed over a dozen Six-Turn experts to the ground.

After doing all this, the Dean's gaze turned to the Nine-tailed Fox phantom in the sky.

“A Universe-level Divine Beast?”

“Where did he get a Divine Beast of this rank?”

With his Eight-Turn strength, he easily pinpointed the source of this phenomenon.

Wang Chen, and the fluffy little fox in his arms.

The fluffy appearance of the little fox, and the nine tails swaying behind her butt, were exactly like the Nine-tailed Fox described in records.

Looking at this little fellow with his Divine Thought, even as an Eight-Turn expert, the Dean's expression was shaken.

A Monarch-level Divine Beast Dragon, a Universe-level Divine Beast Nine-tailed Fox.

The potential Wang Chen, this Giant-Beast Master, was now displaying made even the well-informed Dean feel astonished.

However…

When he sensed the Howling Moon Silver Wolf's aura in another location, the expression on his face suddenly became strange.

“Damn it! This kid didn't take a liking to my Howling Moon Silver Wolf? And he even gave her to his little girlfriend?”

…

…

Two days later.

After breakfast, Wang Chen took Ice Purity and Susu and left the temporary dormitory.

The school had already sent a notification via wristband that the new student ranking battle would be held in the teaching area's plaza.

Upon walking to the plaza, it was already packed with people, a glance revealing nothing but young men and women brimming with youthful vitality.

Among them were the 120 new students recruited by Blazing Dragon University this year, as well as older students from the second and third years who came to join the fun.

The new students stood in the center of the plaza, each emanating a strong Battle Intent, the scent of gunpowder thick in the air.

Clearly, they were all determined to display their strength in the upcoming ranking battle, defeat other competitors, and achieve the best ranking.

“Situ Yu, that girl, still hasn't calmed down?”

As soon as Wang Chen arrived, he sensed a fierce gaze. Situ Yu was gritting her teeth and looking at him.

Her expression made it seem as if he had abandoned her after a fling.

Seeing this, Wang Chen felt he needed to explain.

Otherwise, if that little girl said something random during a video call with his mother someday, his lifelong reputation would be completely ruined.

However…

Before he could take a step, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him had become somewhat strange.

Turning his head, he saw that the admissions teacher Mu Wanying and a group of even more formidable teachers had surrounded him at some point.

Their eyes glowed green, and they looked at him as if they had discovered some rare treasure.

At this moment.

Being stared at by this group of extremely formidable teachers, even with Wang Chen's tough nerves, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Too terrifying!

It felt like they wanted to eat people!

“Teacher…?”

“Student Wang Chen, I represent the Support Academy in inviting you. As long as you join the Support Academy, you can name your terms.”

Mu Wanying didn't wait for Wang Chen to ask, she stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying.

As she spoke, she looked with shock at the fluffy Nine-tailed Celestial Fox on Wang Chen's shoulder.

She now somewhat understood why she had felt that Wang Chen was disdainful of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf back then; it turned out he had an even more formidable Nine-tailed Fox waiting.

Compared to a Universe-level Divine Beast, a legendary Divine Beast was indeed a bit underwhelming!

Today, the Dean of the Support Academy had given her a death order: no matter the cost, she had to bring Wang Chen into the Support Academy.

But before Wang Chen could respond, Mu Wanying, who had 5th Rank strength, was pushed out by the even more formidable teachers around her.
