9: Chapter 9 What a cheap horse!

The next morning, the Beast Taming Class of the senior year gathered at the Pet Beast Pavilion.

"Whoa, it was repaired so quickly!"

Yue Yun looked at the restored Pet Beast Pavilion, secretly surprised.

There was a dedicated competition arena inside the Pet Beast Pavilion, where nearly 120 students from the six Beast Taming Classes had gathered, making it quite lively.

Xu Qingfang stood in the center of the competition arena.

"Xu Qingfang, Two-Star Beast Tamer!"

The approachable demeanor he usually displayed was completely gone. A solemnity flashed between his brows, revealing the aura of a superior.

He slowly raised his hand, and a golden Pet Beast contract appeared.

"His Pet Beast is a Thunderwing Griffin!"

A sharp eagle cry resonated. The Thunderwing Griffin, covered in pale golden fur, flapped its wings and took flight. Its wingspan reached two meters, and deep blue lightning surged within them, bringing a terrifying pressure.

Even though it wasn't the first time the Beast Taming Class had seen the Thunderwing Griffin, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Xu Qingfang possessed an A-grade Beast Taming Talent, and with a Thunderwing Griffin rated with A-grade potential, he was naturally a Genius in a small place like Jianghai.

But he never slackened; instead, he put in untold effort, reaching the level of a Two-Star Beast Tamer before the start of his senior year.

"Xu Qingfang can aim for a top-tier Beast Taming University!"

Pan Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

No one from the other Beast Taming Classes dared to challenge Xu Qingfang. After the judges of the Beast Taming Class finished scoring his assessment, he left the stage, handing the competition arena over to the next person.

The next to step up was Su Lixia.

"Su Lixia, Two-Star Beast Tamer! Her Pet Beast is an Ice Crystal Sparrow!"

A golden Pet Beast contract flashed, and a spiritual sparrow that looked as if it were carved from ice crystal appeared. Its translucent, deep blue feathers resembled pure glaciers, shimmering with a starlight-like, eerie glow.

The Ice Crystal Sparrow was less than a meter in size, appearing petite compared to other Pet Beasts, but its terrifying cold aura made other beasts fearful.

Su Lixia's strength sparked heated discussion among the crowd.

"Damn, Su Lixia has also reached Two-Star Beast Tamer!"

"As expected of the Goddess Su with A-grade Beast Taming Talent!"

"Can Su Lixia compete with Xu Qingfang now?"

Naturally, no one would challenge Su Lixia, but they were very curious about whether she would challenge Xu Qingfang.

This was the school's number one and number two, after all!

Su Lixia's gaze fell on Xu Qingfang. After pondering for a moment, she gave an almost imperceptible shake of her head and wheeled her wheelchair off the stage.

People felt regretful about this situation, but they didn't find it strange; after all, the potential rating of the Ice Crystal Sparrow was only B-grade.

Even among the same rank, there were gaps between Pet Beasts!

Xu Qingfang squinted as he looked at the Thunderwing Griffin.

The Thunderwing Griffin haughtily raised its eagle head, its sharp front claws scratching the ground incessantly, showing full Battle Intent.

Clearly, Su Lixia was definitely a formidable rival.

Her strength made even the famously arrogant Thunderwing Griffin take her seriously, but she did not choose to challenge Xu Qingfang.

Only Su Lixia herself knew her own thoughts.

The next was the school's third-ranked, Xue Qin.

...

The students of Beast Taming Class 1 were very strong; few people would choose to challenge them, so the testing proceeded quickly.

Mo Yu confidently patted Yue Yun on the shoulder: "It's my turn, buddy!"

He stood on the competition stage, confidently looking down at everyone.

"Mo Yu, One-Star Beast Tamer, Pet Beast is a Nether Horse!"

A blue Pet Beast contract, symbolizing C-grade Beast Taming Talent, flashed by, followed by the crisp sound of hoofbeats and the neighing of a wild horse.

A jet-black warhorse trotted over. Its tail burned with ghostly blue flames, and its muscles were as taut as a bronze statue carved with a knife. It held its head high, showing great spirit.

The only flaw was its eyes.

They were uneven in size and height, full of wisdom!

Yue Yun couldn't help but feel astonished as he looked.

Xu Qingfang, sitting next to him, explained his confusion: "This is a Nether Horse with a C-grade potential rating. It belongs to the horse species and the ghost type; it is considered a relatively powerful type of Pet Beast."

"However, this Nether Horse of Mo Yu's is different. It is very, very shameless, just like him—it's a shameless rascal!"

At this, Xu Qingfang's teeth felt a bit sour.

Yue Yun was somewhat confused and looked at Xu Qingfang with doubt, clearly not having reacted to what he meant by "shameless."

Someone from the other Beast Taming Classes stood out.

"Mo Yu, I want to challenge you!"

A boy pushed through the crowd angrily, jumped onto the competition stage cleanly, and looked at him with red-rimmed eyes.

Judging by this posture, there was definitely history between the two!

Yue Yun slightly straightened his expression.

Mo Yu was still looking down at him, teasing him nonchalantly.

"Yo, isn't this my defeated opponent, Huang Hao!"

"Shut up!"

Huang Hao almost roared, glaring at Mo Yu while raising his hand to summon his own Pet Beast, the Dual-Blade Rakshasa.

A fierce Rakshasa with a black body, red hair, and green eyes arrived along with black smoke. Its unusually long, deformed arms were not flesh and blood; from the elbow down, they were two cold, gleaming bone scimitars.

When the Dual-Blade Rakshasa saw the Nether Horse, it was like seeing a mortal enemy, and it let out a piercing, shrill roar.

"Ha, you think you can defeat me just like that?"

Mo Yu scratched his ear, laughing as if he had heard a joke, and turned to look at the interested judge.

He said earnestly: "Teacher, can I not fight?"

The Pet Beast Pavilion fell into an eerie silence.

The judge was nearly stunned. After coming to his senses as if remembering something, he glared at Mo Yu with a complex expression.

"No! Now, Beast Tamer, get off the stage!"

The judge didn't give him a chance, drove him and Huang Hao off the competition stage, and activated the protective shield to prepare for the Pet Beast battle.

Mo Yu sighed with regret.

Huang Hao looked at him excitedly, raised his hand to make a throat-slitting gesture, and opened his mouth to say something.

The Nether Horse suddenly moved.

It began to stick its tongue out crazily at Huang Hao and the Dual-Blade Rakshasa, its uneven eyes full of mockery.

Huang Hao: "Today..."

Nether Horse: "Blehh~"

Huang Hao: "I am going to..."

Nether Horse: "Blehh~"

Huang Hao: "Teach you..."

Nether Horse: "Blehh~"

Huang Hao's words were all stuck in his throat.

The judge and the students of the Beast Taming Class felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats. Even Yue Yun looked at the Nether Horse with a strange expression.

A question arose in their hearts.

How could there be such a shameless Pet Beast?!

Huang Hao was broken by the Nether Horse's mockery and roared, pointing directly at the shameless horse: "Dual-Blade Rakshasa, get him, Slash!"

Seeing this, the judge hurriedly announced the start of the battle.

The Dual-Blade Rakshasa, also mocked, darted out like an arrow from a bow, angrily swinging its dual blades to unleash a slash that tore through the air.

The Dual-Blade Rakshasa's slash was aggressive; everyone couldn't help but be shocked and watched with rapt attention.

Mo Yu commanded nonchalantly.

"Backwards, Kick!"

The Nether Horse raised its sturdy hind hooves and kicked backward, then used the momentum to jump backward, creating a significant distance.

The Dual-Blade Rakshasa's terrifying slash missed.

The timing of this kick was perfect!

The expressions of the crowd changed slightly.

The Nether Horse, having dodged the slash, made another move. It retracted its tongue, brewed for a moment, and spat fiercely at the Dual-Blade Rakshasa.

"Ptooey!"

A large glob of viscous saliva flew out, landing accurately on the Dual-Blade Rakshasa's face, covering its entire face.

The Pet Beast Pavilion fell into silence once again.

Mo Yu teased: "Oh, a saliva mask!"
