117: Who gave you permission... to look up at me?

Lin Yuan really hadn't expected that Su Muxue would go directly to challenge Shen Cang the moment she came out of seclusion.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask, "That's not right. Su Muxue's ranking shouldn't even be in the top one hundred of the hidden dragon ranking yet, right?"

"Logically speaking, she shouldn't have the qualifications to challenge Shen Cang directly."

Wang Jinze immediately opened his mouth to explain, "According to the normal rules, that is correct."

"However, there is another rule for the hidden dragon ranking that you might not have noticed."

"That is, in order to promote competition, the students in the top ten of the hidden dragon ranking must unconditionally accept three challenges every month."

"In other words, during these three challenge opportunities, the challenger can ignore the ranking restrictions."

"However, usually, no one chooses to do this unless they are extremely confident in their own strength."

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, "There's actually a rule like that?"

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble to maintain a twelve-day winning streak; he could have just picked someone from the top ten of the hidden dragon ranking to challenge.

As long as he could win, he would be able to take the other person's ranking.

However, if he did that, his strength would be exposed, and if he went to challenge Yuan Liean again, the other party might not even accept the challenge.

But since the matter was already in the past, there was no need to dwell on it anymore.

The most urgent matter now was to hurry to the arena.

"Let's go."

After spitting out this word, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate in the slightest and immediately ran towards the direction of Arena Number One.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Wang Jinze was slightly stunned at first, then quickly followed in Lin Yuan's footsteps.

...

Less than five minutes later.

Lin Yuan and Wang Jinze had already arrived at the area where Arena Number One was located.

Lin Yuan's face was expressionless, but deep within his eyes lay a hidden, icy intent to kill.

Wang Jinze naturally understood Lin Yuan's personality.

He knew clearly in his heart that even if Lin Yuan didn't treat Su Muxue as a girlfriend, he still regarded Su Muxue with extreme importance.

At the very least, the relationship between Lin Yuan and Su Muxue was definitely above that of ordinary friends.

Even when Song Lan and Zhao Ming were injured, Lin Yuan was willing to spend twelve days on a winning streak, then consecutively challenge Yuan Liean and Li Qingnan to take revenge for them.

Wang Jinze found it hard to imagine what Lin Yuan would actually do if something really happened to Su Muxue.

The two of them walked along the passage at the entrance and soon saw the exit leading to the spectator stands.

After becoming a Beast King Level Beast Soul Master, all five of Lin Yuan's senses had been greatly enhanced.

Precisely because of this, his keen hearing soon captured the discussions coming from the spectator stands.

"This, this is completely a one-sided crushing defeat."

"Too strong, such terrifying strength. I have only felt this kind of oppressive feeling from Chu Tianyi."

"I really didn't expect that after the hidden dragon ranking has been open for so long, a Genius could still emerge out of nowhere."

"Yeah, and it's actually a girl. Sigh... I really feel ashamed of my own inferiority!"

"Don't you underestimate her. Although she was indeed unknown before, she is the closed-door Disciple of Teacher Ling Shuangyue!"

"Ling Shuangyue? Is that the teacher who is only one step away from stepping into the Beast Emperor Rank? I really didn't expect that a powerhouse of that level would have the spare time to take on a Disciple."

After the discussions from the spectator stands reached Lin Yuan's ears, the cold sternness in Lin Yuan's eyes involuntarily transformed into astonishment.

Because he discovered that the person these people were discussing... seemed to be Su Muxue?

Thinking of this, the pace of Lin Yuan's feet couldn't help but quicken a bit.

Finally, Lin Yuan and Wang Jinze walked out of the passage and arrived inside the spectator stands.

However, the scene before him made Lin Yuan involuntarily freeze in place.

He saw that on the arena, a snow wolf with a massive body size was confronting a snow fox with nine tails.

However, the body of this snow wolf was covered in wounds of all sizes, some of which were deep enough to see the bone!

While the body of the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox was spotless, as if it hadn't experienced a battle at all, appearing elegant and refined!

If Lin Yuan remembered correctly, [Nine-Tailed Snow Fox]... wasn't that Su Muxue's beast soul?

Since that was the case, the one confronting her in front must be Shen Cang.

Lin Yuan had previously seen in the intelligence provided by Wang Jinze that the beast soul Shen Cang had Awakening was named [Azure Snow White Fang].

Looking at it this way, it should be this snow wolf of immense size before his eyes.

"Roar!!"

Just at this moment, the snow wolf, covered in wounds, once again raised its head high and let out a high-pitched roar of anger!

Obviously, Shen Cang had not yet been defeated; he stared fixedly at the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox before him, his eyes still filled with ferocious Battle Intent!

However, just at this moment, beside the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox, one after another, incredibly sharp ice blades suddenly condensed out of thin air!

Following that, Su Muxue's voice, which was cold to the point of being ethereal, also rang out in everyone's ears.

"Who gave you... permission to look up at me?"
