38: Chapter 38 City-Level Campus Championship

Two days passed by very quickly.

As a city-level event, the Campus Championship saw the Jianghai City Beast Taming Field packed to capacity on the opening day, with the noise inside rolling over everything like waves.

The Jianghai City Beast Taming Field was incomparable to the Pet Beast Pavilion at school; this massive venue, capable of holding ten thousand people, could support arena battles between Elite Beast Tamers.

"It's so lively!"

Yue Yun recalled the scene from that year when he came to watch his older sister.

The level of liveliness was not much different.

Xu Qingfang smiled and said, "This is a Pet Beast confrontation, after all!"

Matches between Beast Tamers and the fighting of Pet Beasts are not something you see every day; for ordinary people, it truly is a rare spectacle.

Moreover, this concerned the future of the children.

"Let's go, let's head in first!"

Pan Xuan returned from the event organizing committee, looking satisfied.

The participating teams from the other five schools were also setting out from their respective schools, arriving at the Beast Taming Field one after another to compete.

When they entered the waiting area and heard the enthusiastic cheering from just a wall away, they couldn't help but feel a surging wave of excitement in their hearts.

"Are you nervous?"

Xue Qin asked Yue Yun and Xu Qingfang with a smile.

The two of them shook their heads in unison, both seeing burning Battle Intent in each other's eyes, full of anticipation for the upcoming confrontation.

Before long, people from the other schools arrived as well.

When the three from the First High School encountered the Second High School, the relaxed atmosphere became heavy, and invisible Battle Intent erupted between their breaths.

"Chen Hu didn't come."

Someone whispered.

Another replied in a low voice, "It is said that he has already suffered two consecutive losses, so to prevent any accidents, he didn't participate in the team competition again."

"Then it seems there's no suspense?"

"That's not necessarily true."

The crowd discussed in low voices.

Their gazes turned toward the teams from the First High School and the Second High School.

Qian Zhenghao from the First High School nodded to Xu Qingfang; both sides occupied one side of the waiting area without further communication.

...

First round of the draw: Second High School versus Fifth High School!

The Beast Taming Field was permeated with the scent of excitement.

The roar from the audience almost blew the roof off, causing the metal steps beneath their feet to tremble slightly.

The host's voice boomed through the speakers, but was instantly swallowed by even louder cheers at the crucial moment.

"Hello!"

Xu Qingfang, Xue Qin, and Su Lixia greeted the opposing side.

The three from the Fifth High School responded briefly, then summoned their Pet Beasts, lining them up on the arena with a formidable Aura.

"The Violent Monkey should have been left for Yue Yun to handle."

Xu Qingfang muttered softly.

As the match bell rang, the Thunderwing Griffin shrieked and dived down like an arrow released from a bow, with lightning gathering on its sharp claws.

"Violent Monkey, dodge!"

The Violent Monkey could not make a move; white frost suddenly appeared on its legs, and the frost burst, creating a thick layer of ice that fixed its lower body to the arena.

The Water Mystic Turtle released a skill to cast a shield on the Violent Monkey.

The Green Lizard Monster wanted to step forward to help, but was controlled in place by the Heart-Confusing Fox, unable to extricate itself from the illusion.

"No, the suppression is too strong!"

The Green Lizard Monster's Beast Tamer frowned and said.

Meanwhile, the Thunderwing Griffin had already attacked.

The Thunderwing Griffin's attack was fierce and powerful; its lightning claws tore through the Water Mystic Turtle's shield, making a clinking sound like breaking glass.

The Violent Monkey hurriedly raised its arms to block, but its fur-covered arms were instantly torn by the sharp eagle claws.

"Hrrgh!"

The Violent Monkey's eyes widened in rage; it clenched its hands into fists, gathering powerful strength, intending to knock the Thunderwing Griffin down.

The Thunderwing Griffin didn't care at all; it flapped its wings, throwing out two bolts of lightning that landed on the Violent Monkey, breaking through the massive rage the Violent Monkey had been building up, and shocking it until its entire body was charred black.

The ice layer that had formed on the Violent Monkey's legs also shattered as a result.

"Violent Monkey, counterattack!"

The Beast Tamer's command woke the Violent Monkey up; it shook off the broken ice on its feet and leaped high, swinging its fist, which had gathered strength, to smash at the soaring Thunderwing Griffin.

The Thunderwing Griffin was dismissive of this.

It displayed a flight method different from other Pet Beasts, climbing vertically like a helicopter and easily dodging the attack.

The Thunderwing Griffin blasted lightning again, and the thick bolt of lightning shocked the Violent Monkey until its whole body convulsed, and it passed out.

"Damn it!"

The Violent Monkey's Beast Tamer growled in frustration.

The Green Lizard Monster finally broke free from the illusion.

Its figure turned into a dark green phantom, escaping the Heart-Confusing Fox's second round of attacks at an uncatchable speed, and also avoiding the lightning struck down by the Thunderwing Griffin, running to a safe zone.

"To the left of the Water Mystic Turtle!"

Xu Qingfang hurriedly reminded Su Lixia.

Su Lixia nodded slightly; the moment the Green Lizard Monster landed, she released a freezing skill, the frost instantly bursting to generate an ice layer, sealing it up once again.

The frozen Green Lizard Monster could only move its eyes.

The Water Mystic Turtle was exceptionally cautious; seeing the situation go wrong, it had already retreated into its shell, even casting several layers of shields on itself.

It just like that firmly occupied a spot on the arena.

Xue Qin pointed at the Water Mystic Turtle and asked.

"How do we solve this big turtle?"

The Thunderwing Griffin descended from the sky, tilting its head and pressing its sharp claws onto the Water Mystic Turtle's shield, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes, which were marked with lightning patterns.

Use a predatory method to take the Water Mystic Turtle into the air, then throw it down to smash its shell, completing the kill.

Feeling the Thunderwing Griffin's intense killing intent and hidden hunger, Xu Qingfang's eye twitched: "This is just a competition!"

Upon hearing this, the Thunderwing Griffin lost all interest.

Its thick lion hind legs stepped on the Water Mystic Turtle's shield, its sharp eagle claws raised high, violent lightning blooming with a terrifying shimmer in the claws, violently tearing through the layers of shields.

"Crack!"

The shield shattered; the Water Mystic Turtle, which had retreated into its shell, was pinned down by the Thunderwing Griffin's eagle claws, and lightning poured into its body, injuring it.

Seeing this, the Water Mystic Turtle's Beast Tamer looked utterly dismayed.

"I surrender!"

As the words fell, the Green Lizard Monster broke free from the ice layer.

This time it was extra careful, fearing it would be controlled again.

However, what greeted it was a focused attack from all three Pet Beasts; the Green Lizard Monster didn't even have time to run before it was sent off the stage in the blink of an eye.

Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

Defeating the Fifth High School was effortless, enough to demonstrate the Second High School's formidable strength; they were truly a top contender to advance!

The three of them, Xu Qingfang, greeted the surroundings.

They turned and left the arena with composure and ease.

"They are indeed very strong."

Qian Zhenghao's expression gradually became serious: "Their coordination is very tacit, and the Heart-Confusing Fox's skill wind-up is not obvious; we need to be extra careful about this Pet Beast when the time comes."

While analyzing, he led his two team members onto the stage.

Second round of the draw: First High School versus Third High School!

The cheers in the arena rose again.

The First High School's strength was obvious to all, and the Third High School's strength wouldn't be too weak either; this match could be considered a clash of the strong.

What people were most looking forward to was the confrontation between the First High School and the Second High School.

Different lights flickered within the arena.

Yue Yun, Xu Qingfang, and the other three slipped to the spectator seats, looking down at the arena from a high vantage point to observe the First High School's strength.

"The Emperor Crocodile is quite strong."

Xu Qingfang murmured, "It looks like it has some Sub-Dragon Bloodline, and its manipulation of water elements is quite handy."

He paused and turned his head to look at Yue Yun.

"The Skeleton Warrior's strength is also quite terrifying, especially since its attack power and aggressiveness will become stronger and stronger; you should deal with it as early as possible when the time comes."

"If you really can't, then just stall."

Su Lixia added.

The Skeleton Warrior is not sensitive to still objects; one could lower their range of movement to weaken its alertness, or it could be violently crushed and solved early by Yue Yun.

Yue Yun looked thoughtful and didn't answer.

Inside the arena, the First High School and the Third High School were fighting intensely.

The Emperor Crocodile was over five meters long, its back covered with thick, black-gold bone armor resembling an Empire shield, with natural, relief-like patterns on the bone armor that looked like imperial runes.

The attacks from the Third High School's Pet Beasts landed on it but were mostly blocked by the bone armor, causing little impact on its movements.

The Emperor Crocodile lunged forward violently, opening its hideous head to reveal layers of interlocking sharp teeth; the moment it snapped its jaws, it was like a guillotine falling, which was terrifying.

Although the Third High School's strength was not weak, they still fell at a disadvantage when facing such a powerful Emperor Crocodile.

With the Skeleton Warrior and the Astral Jellyfish surrounding and intercepting them, after their desperate resistance, they ultimately lost with regret.

Next was the battle between the Fourth High School and the Sixth High School...

Xu Qingfang shrugged.

"Let's get ready for tomorrow's match."
