A swipe down from the electronic screen.
It was exactly the same as what Xu Xian remembered seeing on the official website of Haicheng University.
The three of them didn't stand at the door, but walked to the left along the corridor.
The battlefield was enormous; one or two football fields wouldn't be enough to describe it.
"Xu Xian, why don't you go down and give it a try?" Xu Yang patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and pointed to the left of the battle area.
Although Haicheng University is a university specializing in Beast Taming and is one of the three top universities in the Dragon Kingdom.
The proportion of elite beast tamers with leader-level spirit beasts among students is the highest in the country, and the entire ranking list is full of elite beast tamers.
However, for a high-level spirit beast to break through to the leader level, unless it is a silver-type, even a top-grade bronze-type beast cannot break through so easily.
The vast majority of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and even some seniors are still stuck at the advanced peak.
In order to accommodate these people, the school could not possibly allow the entire vast battlefield to be used by elite beast tamers.
Therefore, one-fifth of the area was divided into several smaller arenas specifically for high-level spirit beasts to fight in.
As for beginner and intermediate levels?
How can someone who hasn't even cultivated a high-level spirit beast at Haicheng University be qualified to enter the arena and even have the nerve to make a move?
Xu Xian glanced at Wawa beside him.
The little frog seemed quite interested.
To be honest, since its evolution, apart from killing a crab general in the Black Abyss Sea, it has not yet truly competed with other spirit beasts who are also beast tamers.
Vawa knew that he was a very powerful being among the advanced peak spirit beasts.
But just how powerful it really is, not only it, but Xu Xian himself is also unclear about this concept.
Walk to the area where advanced spirit beasts are battling.
Perhaps because the battles here aren't as exciting, intense, or spectacular as those against boss-level spirit beasts, and also because school hasn't officially started yet, there aren't many people here.
Only a dozen or so students and their spirit beasts were sitting in the waiting area at this spot.
Xu Xian glanced at the battle area and saw that a spot had become available.
Approaching the group of ten students, he said, "Everyone, would you mind if I added one more?"
The ten students and their spirit beasts glanced at Xu Xian, then at Wawa.
Its body is covered in white scales, and it has horns on its head, but overall it resembles a frog.
A new spirit beast I've never seen before!
This is something new for students.
Aside from a few scions of powerful families destined to contract with bronze-level beings, every other student who gets into Haicheng University does so based on their genuine talent.
Therefore, they were very interested in each and every mythical beast they had never seen before.
"Of course, there's a spot available. Want to play a game with me?"
A boy stood up, and next to him was a rock wolf.
It is a common mythical beast, but it has thick fur, bright eyes, and is very well-trained.
A high level of energy was revealed.
Looking at the other person, who was about the same age as me.
Xu Xian sighed, "As expected of Haicheng University. This person in front of me is a freshman, and this whole group of people must all be freshmen."
Among the dozen or so people, besides the rock wolf, only the other person's fiery hound was a high-level spirit beast.
The rest are intermediate level.
If these people went to Tree City University, they would all be geniuses!
One reason Xu Xian made this guess was that Xu Yang and Zhou Meili sat not far behind the group of people with their spirit beasts. As a result, apart from glancing at Zhou Meili's face and finding it familiar, the people were shocked by the two silver-level spirit beasts next to Zhou Meili, and then turned their attention to Wawa without looking back.
To them, with her Black Rock Giant and Eight-Winged Flying Ants, this beautiful girl must be a popular figure at school.
But even the most influential figures are not as captivating as this completely unseen mythical beast.
"Please!" Xu Xian gestured to the boy who had just challenged him to a duel.
The boy chuckled and entered the small, cleared area with the rock wolf, followed by Xu Xian.
A moment later, the two stood at opposite ends, and two spirit beasts entered the arena.
The boy said, "My Rock Wolf is a Level 3 Advanced."
Then he looked at Xu Xian, and then at Wawa.
Clearly, he wanted Xu Xian to introduce them.
Xu Xian chuckled and said, "Tidal Dragon Frog, Advanced Level 10."
"Level 10!" the boy exclaimed in surprise.
The students in the spectator area all looked surprised.
The boy opposite Xu Xian asked, "Excuse me, are you a freshman like us who hasn't officially enrolled yet?"
Xu Xian nodded.
The inner voice said: Yes, but not in the same school as you.
"Awesome!" the boy said, giving a thumbs up.
It is possible to cultivate a spirit beast to the advanced peak even before it has entered school.
Students from ordinary families believe that only children from aristocratic families can achieve this.
In his eyes, Xu Xian's status was clearly equivalent to that of a scion of a prominent family.
The boy casually wiped his nose with his thumb up, "You're great, but my Rock Wolf won't give up. I'll go first, attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
The rock wolf had already tacitly painted its body with a petrified skin.
This is precisely the intermediate skill "Petrifying Skin" that the Rock Wolf possesses.
After adding a layer of defense to itself, the rock wolf started running.
Although this battle area is small, it is actually about four or five hundred square meters in size.
As the boy spoke, the rock wolf had already quickly used its skill and started circling around Vawa.
It wasn't particularly fast, but it was agile.
A pair of wolf-like eyes were fixed on Wawa, as if searching for an opportunity to attack.
Behind the newborns.
Xu Yang looked at Xu Xian with regret and said, "It would be great if Xu Xian came to our Haicheng University."
Zhou Meili laughed and said, "If that's really the case, will the Tide Dragon Frog be able to emerge? Even if it does, it will probably take many years."
"That's true." Xu Yang nodded.
They didn't care about the outcome on the field.
What's there to say about a one-sided battle?
Off the field.
Xu Xian did not give Wawa any orders.
Wawa wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
It then imitated Xu Xian by crossing its arms over its chest.
A hint of displeasure flashed in the rock wolf's eyes.
This white-horned frog is really underestimating wolves. It didn't even move. Does it think I'm too afraid to attack it?
"Aww!"
The rock wolf let out a strange howl and suddenly leaped forward.
Although he doesn't seem to run very fast, his bursts of speed are incredibly rapid.
In the blink of an eye, it had already raised its paw and was only thirty centimeters away from Wawa.
The claws gleamed with a cold light, and the students watching had no doubt that if those claws were to land on them, they could be disemboweled.
Can that strange frog hold on?
The answer is no, you don't need to carry it!
Before the rock wolf's claws could land, Wawa opened its mouth.
Before anyone could react, Rock Wolf felt a sudden dampness.
A water ball carrying tremendous force slammed directly into its head.
The rock wolf was sent flying backward, so dizzy that it could barely stand.
Fortunately, the Stone Skin provides protection, so even though the Rock Wolf was sent flying backwards...
Aside from a brief moment of dizziness and blurred vision, and a slight headache, there was really no other injury.
Xu Xian found this strange.
Wawa's moves don't even qualify as skills.
He condensed a small water sphere by relying on his mastery of water-attribute energy.
In short, a mouthful of saliva.
Because after evolving, Wawa is unsure of the strength of its attacks.
Of course, we can go all out against an enemy like Crab General.
But the beast tamer's spirit beast is not good enough; this is just a friendly spar.
So the small water ball we just saw was just a test.
Rock Wolf thought it was Vawa's attack skill.
Although the attack was very fast, so fast that it couldn't dodge it.
But the attack is too weak.
Its wolf-like face couldn't help but show a hint of disdain.
Advanced Peak?
That's it?
Vawa's expression remained unchanged.
It's done this kind of thing before, and it's completely unmoved by it.
Seeing that Wawa wasn't angered by his mocking face, he realized that Wawa was actually not angry.
Rockwolf doesn't really care.
If mockery doesn't work, watch me, Wolf Lord, crush you head-on. You can't break through my Stone Skin defense anyway.
The rock wolf raised its right paw and then immediately slammed it to the ground.
A stream of earth-elemental energy moved swiftly from the ground.
At Vawa's feet, a rock spike suddenly pierced out.
The new students watched intently, wondering if the spirit beast named Tide Dragon Frog could fight back.
As if he had anticipated this, Vawa took two steps back the instant the rock spikes appeared, managing to dodge the attack.
This, in turn, gave the rock wolf an opportunity.
After activating the basic skill "Ground Spikes", it burst forward at high speed.
Even if this "ground spike" fails, there's always this to finish it off.
Unexpectedly!
The rock wolf almost wanted to howl loudly in praise of its sophisticated tactics.
Taking advantage of Vawa taking two steps back.
It lunged forward again, its claws, which had failed to reach Vawa earlier, now only twenty centimeters away from her body.
We got it!!
The rock wolf's eyes were excited.
The rock wolf was stunned as it watched its claws actually touch Vawa's chest.
The plan was to use the touch to pull down the opponent with a claw, leaving a huge gash, and then win the battle for their own beast tamer.
Then the fine white scales on the other side were completely like an incredibly thick steel wall.
With a sharp crack, the claws slashed, producing sparks and a piercing sound, as the rock wolf unleashed its explosive power and rammed directly into Wawa.
Wawa is not tall; even with its dragon horns, it's only about 1.5 meters tall.
The rock wolf has the size of a North American gray wolf, standing a full two meters tall, which is quite intimidating.
However, when it crashed straight into Wawa, it was like a lump of mud hitting an iron wall.
Aside from its own heavy slamming into the ground, breaking its claws and drawing blood, Wawa didn't move an inch.
The beastmaster of the rock wolf was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of defense is this?
The other freshmen watching also stared wide-eyed.
Despite the significant size difference between the two beasts, and the larger one colliding with the smaller one, the outcome was completely opposite.
The rock wolf is in great pain; its claws are broken, and its body feels like it has just fallen from a tall building—every part of it is in pain.
The stone skin covering his entire body was cracked, and it was fortunate that it did not break open and cause any wounds.
Before I could even feel relieved for a second, the dampness I had just felt a while ago returned.
If it were before the collision with Vawa, the Rock Wolf would definitely not have cared at all.
But now, how could they dare to underestimate the other side?
He endured the pain and struggled to get up.
Just then, a clump of water quickly condensed in Wawa's right claw, transforming into a thick column of water.
The rock wolf's eyes widened as the half-meter-thick column of water swept directly towards it.
At that moment, Rock Wolf felt as if he were being whipped not by a jet of water, but by some unknown roof beam.
"Awooo—!"
All that was heard was a miserable howl, and the rock wolf lay motionless on the ground.
If it weren't for the fact that they could still see the rock wolf's chest as it breathed, they would have thought that the guy had been crushed to death by a pillar.
The beastmaster of the rock wolf shook his head with a wry smile.
He may have expected that he would not be a match for these scions of powerful families, but he did not expect to lose so badly.
He rushed forward to check on the rock wolf, only to find that Vawa had beaten him to it.
Then a large bubble enveloped the rock wolf.
The clear water flows and turns.
The students exclaimed in astonishment, "Backflowing bubbles?!"
"Not bad." Xu Xian nodded.
Although it's just a level of proficiency.
But treating minor injuries is not a problem for Vava.
"The strength of the Tide Dragon Frog is even greater than I imagined." A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Meili's eyes.
"The stronger it is, the happier I am," Xu Yang smiled.
Even with individual differences, skill proficiency gaps, and age restrictions, a Silver species is still a Silver species. As long as Grandpa Frog evolves, there is a very high chance that he can use this evolution to break through and reach the Boss level.
In this way, Grandpa can benefit from it.
Perhaps in just a few days, Grandpa will be able to leave his hospital bed completely.
After giving the rock wolf some basic treatment, the creature opened its eyes, looking exhausted.
Seeing Wawa looking at him, he immediately shrank back and dared not look directly at her.
The terrifying jet of water that had just hit it still left it feeling lingering fear and its body aching all over.
I really don't want to experience that feeling of being hit by the Universiade again.
Rock Wolf was defeated, and upon waking up, he naturally left the scene.
Xu Xian looked at the student with the high-level energy of the Fiery Hound.
The student was not afraid.
Or perhaps they're not afraid of being abused.
They entered the arena with the Firehound.
With the experience of the rock wolf.
Wawa held back this time.
As the Firehound breathed fire, a "Returning Bubble" was released, causing the Firehound to suffocate and faint.
This left it without any serious injuries, but the feeling of almost dying from suffocation was even worse than the rock wolf's stroke of good luck.
The way he looked at Vawa was as if he were looking at a demon.
Xu Xian and Wa Wa both looked embarrassed.
No, who knew you guys were so weak!
I really didn't mean to torture you!
They just used one skill, and released so much water.
If you can't break it, what can I do?
Xu Xian thought that the other party's mastery of skills must be quite high since they could reach a high level, but now he realized that he had been overthinking it.
Not everyone can level up by increasing their skill proficiency.
With both high-level spirit beasts failing, none of the new students could exchange a single blow with Wawa.
Xu Xian scratched his head.
Why did it start strong but end weakly?
at this time.
Several people walked in from the aisle.
The leader looked like a sunny and cheerful young man.
He looked around and found the place empty, with a strange frog he'd never seen before, sporting a cheerful smile. "Hey kid, if you don't mind, how about a battle?"
Xu Xian turned to look at the person who had just arrived.
This person was accompanied by several boys and girls, whose awkward and curious eyes looked around. The spirit beasts they carried were not unusual, with strength ranging from beginner to intermediate.
They are clearly newcomers as well.
The cheerful young man who spoke looked to be about the same age as him.
"My name is Wu Di, and I'm also a freshman this year." The sunny young man, Wu Di, gestured to the people next to him to sit in the audience seats before walking to the battle area.
"Wu—Emperor?" Xu Xian repeated the other person's name.
Emperor Wu gave an awkward laugh, "Haha, this is the name my father gave me, meaning invincible and emperor."
But then he exuded confidence, saying, "However, I think he's right; I do have that ability."
17
"Wow, this guy is such a show-off—" someone complained in the initial freshman group.
Behind them, Zhou Meili looked at Wu Di with a thoughtful expression.
Upon seeing him, Xu Yang asked, "Do you know him?"
"I've never seen it before." Zhou Meili shook her head gently, then hesitated, "But I think I've heard my grandmother mention this name before, because those two characters are rather unusual—"
"Don't think about it if you can't remember," Xu Yang said.
Zhou Meili frowned in thought.
What exactly did Grandma say about this name?
