139: Battle of team configuration

Gu Xiaoyue chuckled; he really knew how to scheme.

She needed to prepare for both eventualities and be strong in both.

She raised her hand and put away the key. “No problem, I agree!”

She paused, “You said Principal Zheng agreed to me resuming as the captain of the National Competition team, and I get to decide the team’s composition?”

Charlie nodded.

“Principal Zheng also said he would talk to Sun Jian, and you just need to prepare for the National Competition.”

That old fox finally understood!

Since Charlie had already made arrangements, she didn't delay. She sent messages to Chu Li, Ye Wanrou, Fang Xiaoyu, and Zhuang Yanxin, telling them to gather at Chu Li's training ground shortly.

Unexpectedly, just as Fang Xiaoyu and Zhuang Yanxin arrived, Sun Jian also came with his team.

Sun Jian immediately asked Gu Xiaoyue impolitely, “Did you cause trouble with Principal Zheng, which is why he changed the captain again?”

Gu Xiaoyue glanced at them but didn't respond.

Ye Wanrou, however, retorted to Sun Jian, “What's there to ask about you guys being replaced? Everyone thinks you'd still be stuck in fifth place forever even if you competed.

If you were to be surpassed by one of the top ten schools again, Nanya would lose all face!”

“I'm asking Gu Xiaoyue, what right do you, a mere bystander, have to speak!”

Sun Jian looked down on Ye Wanrou, thinking she was just clinging to Gu Xiaoyue's coattails.

“So what if I'm a bystander? Xiao Yue is happy to have me! You, on the other hand, still wanted to be a bystander this year, but Xiao Yue won't take you, so you're upset, aren't you!”

Ye Wanrou crossed her arms over her chest, tilting her head to give Sun Jian and his team a disdainful look.

Sun Jian, Zhao Huaiyao, and the others clenched their fists in anger.

“Ye Wanrou, don't get too smug. I'm here today specifically to challenge you!

And yes, Chen Yixuan too. Your strength is inferior to ours, so why should you be on the National Competition team?”

Now it was Ye Wanrou who was stunned. She thought Sun Jian and his team were just there to talk, since Principal Zheng had already made his decision.

She never expected Sun Jian and his team were targeting her.

Xue Jing also said from the side, “Exactly. Last year Chu Li said I had conflicting attributes with him, so how could I lose to a bystander this year!”

“Come on, Ye Wanrou, Chen Yixuan, let's meet on the arena and see who's truly strong!”

Wei Liuyun stared at them with a sinister gaze.

He admitted he couldn't defeat Gu Xiaoyue, but how could he willingly be inferior to Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan!

Ye Wanrou's expression was a bit embarrassed. Chen Yixuan stood in front of her, “Don't make things difficult for her, come at me instead!”

“You're a healer, what are you getting involved for!”

Zhao Huaiyao stepped forward, about to push Chen Yixuan.

An Earth Shield appeared out of nowhere in front of Chen Yixuan, blocking Zhao Huaiyao's movement.

“The team configuration was decided by me, and the teammates were chosen by me. If you have any objections, tell me!”

Gu Xiaoyue stood in front of Chen Yixuan, with Chu Li standing beside her.

The oppressive aura from both sides emerged, leaving Fang Xiaoyu and Zhuang Yanxin somewhat at a loss.

“I accept your challenge,”

Gu Xiaoyue looked at Fang Xiaoyu and Zhuang Yanxin, “You two can also go to the other side.”

Fang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he excitedly stood with Sun Jian's group.

Zhuang Yanxin, on the other hand, quickly waved her hand and said, “I won't participate.”

Anyway, no matter which side she was on, she was still a substitute.

Sun Jian and his team were angry and looking for trouble with Gu Xiaoyue and Ye Wanrou, which had nothing to do with her.

Sun Jian thought it would be Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li against them, a 2V5.

He hesitated a bit. Given that both of them were abnormal, Sun Jian was momentarily unsure whether to fight or not.

“You and Chu Li—”

Gu Xiaoyue walked ahead, noticing Sun Jian was still in place.

“Come on! It's not me and Chu Li, it's just me.”

This statement made Sun Jian's side both relieved and slightly humiliated.

How much did Gu Xiaoyue look down on them to dare to face all five of them alone!

As per custom, Gu Xiaoyue waited in the arena for them to send messages and gather classmates to watch.

After all, it was a challenge related to the National Competition, which almost stirred the hearts of all Nanya teachers and students.

Before long, the arena was packed to the brim.

“What's happening? Gu Xiaoyue fighting five?”

“Senior Gu is so cool!”

“Gu Xiaoyue is too arrogant. No matter how powerful she is, there are five people on the other side, at least ten pet beasts!”

Sun Jian and his team were all on the Battle Strength Ranking.

Many people knew that they could all summon more than two pet beasts.

“Gu Xiaoyue, you won't be summoning Chu Li to help you fight, will you?”

Wei Liuyun asked. He always felt that Gu Xiaoyue would use some dirty tricks, otherwise, why would she agree to face five of them alone?

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't be bothered to respond to him, only answering indifferently, “Just me.”

Hearing her confirm it was just her, Sun Jian and his team all breathed a sigh of relief.

The referee's whistle blew, and Sun Jian's side summoned a full ten pet beasts, two for each person.

The ten pet beasts lined up in a row, with massive bodies.

The highest level ones belonged to Wei Liuyun and Fang Xiaoyu, both Mature Stage Three. The others were Mature Stage Two and Stage One.

In contrast, Gu Xiaoyue only summoned two pet beasts.

One was a small loli wearing a green Lolita dress with two bun hairstyles.

Green ribbons on the skirt hem and cuffs made the chubby loli even more playful.

The other was a bright-eyed and white-toothed little shota, dressed in a plain white short robe with light blue cuffs and hem.

A pair of leopard ears and two tails were exposed, making it easy to guess that he was the little Mo that Gu Xiaoyue often held in her arms.

“Is that Gu Xiaoyue's spiritual pet beast?”

“It was only Young life stage 7 last year at this time, and now it's Mature Stage Five?”

“Gu Xiaoyue's pet beasts can't even be scanned by a brain. What attributes and levels are these two exactly?”

Everyone was right; the shota was Little Mo, and the loli was Little Green.

When Little Bear and the others advanced to Mature Stage Four, Gu Xiaoyue happened to have 8 Huanpo Lotuses, so she fed them all to them.

Little Bear and Qingqing, like the others, could be scanned by the brain, so she wasn't in a hurry to change them into human forms.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyue's two human-form pet beasts standing one on each side of her,

Fang Xiaoyu became even more excited, while Sun Jian and his team were sweating nervously.

With such a level suppression, how could they not panic?

However, they had the advantage of a greater number of pet beasts, using quantity to suppress Gu Xiaoyue.

“Go, what are you waiting for?!”

At Sun Jian's command, they began to direct their pet beasts to attack Gu Xiaoyue.

As these ten pet beasts were about to reach Gu Xiaoyue,

Little Green extended both hands, and ten vines flew from her cuffs, wrapping around the necks of the opposing pet beasts.

Even if the opposing pet beasts tried to dodge, they were still tightly entangled by the vines.

For a moment, the scene was chaotic.

The ten pet beasts twisted their bodies, using their claws and hooves to pull at the vines around their necks.

But it had no effect; if Gu Xiaoyue ordered the vines to tighten, their pet beasts would suffocate to death in a few minutes!

However, for now, it seemed Gu Xiaoyue only wanted to trap them.

The shota Little Mo walked forward with a smile, making scratching motions with both hands.
