Chapter 37 The Satirical Zhou Li
The waiting area in the lobby on the first floor of the Tree City Association.
Zhou Li and the golden-armored beast looked nervously towards the corner at the back of the hall.
Xiao Lili snorted, "Stop looking! No matter how much you look at him, Xu Xian won't escape the same fate of being eliminated as you!"
"Meow! Meow!" the spotted cat echoed.
They were already hostile towards Zhou Li and Xu Xian because of the Beast Tamer, and they had been toyed with and lost to Wawa before. Now was the perfect opportunity to join in the mockery.
Zhou Li scoffed, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the champion, but you were eliminated in the first round just like me!"
Xiao Lili was furious, but quickly put on a smug look and said, "You're only being stubborn now. Soon you'll see Xu Xian end up like you..."
Before the words following the word "被" could continue, a boy with a very ugly face walked out from the back corner of the hall leading to the underground battlefield.
"How is this possible!?" Xiao Lili found it hard to believe.
"Hahaha! Great!" Zhou Li clapped his hands and laughed.
The person who appeared was Qian Hongwen. Besides him, Li Yang and other eliminated students also came over.
Zhou Li, half excited and half nervous, peered at the crowd that had walked out, only to find that Xu Xian was nowhere to be seen.
"That kid actually managed to survive until the next round, not bad." Zhou Lishi nodded in satisfaction, then walked up to Qian Hongwen with a smug look on his face.
"Get out of the way!" Qian Hongwen said coldly.
"Coming out so early, you must have beaten your opponent badly and then decided you didn't want the championship anymore, so you came up here!" Zhou Li said sarcastically. "You're really quite magnanimous!"
"You..." Qian Hongwen clenched his fists, his face turning ashen.
Being defeated is not necessarily unacceptable.
However, he was really annoyed that his blue-eyed white ape was kicked away like a ball by the snow rabbit, just like Zhou Li's golden armored beast.
Now that Zhou Li is mocking him so closely, reopening old wounds, he wants to punch that big face and smash it to pieces.
Li Yang glanced at the situation, then took his Fire Wind Crane and found a good spot to sit down and quietly watch the show.
His family had some business dealings with the Qian family, and the two had met on some social occasions.
Qian Hongwen is an arrogant and conceited man, but now he has suffered a great setback and should really experience this drama firsthand.
But who is Zhou Li this week, daring to mock the other party so closely?
The third floor of the Beast Tamer Association.
Moye's expression was slightly blank.
After glancing at the Snow Rabbit, which appeared as quiet as its Beast Tamer in the surveillance footage, she looked at Xu Xian, who was massaging Wawa to relax her body.
"This... President, you predicted this all along? And where did you find this little girl?"
Whether it's Wawa's combo attacks or Snow Rabbit's fluid movements unaffected by "Mental Space".
The former was a pleasant surprise, while the latter completely shocked him.
Zhao Que just smiled and didn't say anything.
Even if a spirit beast doesn't register, the association will start evaluating all spirit beasts that enter the Beast Tamer Association using various hidden camera detection devices.
The reason Xu Xian was considered one of the candidates to win the championship among this group of students was that he already knew about the sufficiently rich spiritual attribute energy in Xu Xian at the intermediate energy level.
Moreover, even if Xu Xian's Wawa might not be able to defeat Huo Fenghe, he still has a backup plan.
Surely you don't think that the Crystal Spider hanging from the basement ceiling during the battle was really just to ensure the safety of the spirit beasts and students.
In order to ensure that the money goes to ordinary but promising students who are worth nurturing, Zhao Que doesn't mind using some underhanded tactics.
Battleground in the basement.
The two students who drew Xu Xian and the girl with glasses who had giant toads were inwardly cursing their bad luck.
The former was alright, feeling he could still put up a fight, but the latter was thinking he might as well just admit defeat to avoid his spirit beast getting a beating. He really didn't want his spirit beast to be the third ball in the ball.
After resting for a while, the spirit beasts recovered their strength and injuries.
Xu Xian walked to one side of the second battle area.
The other party was a girl.
The spirit beast is a 40-centimeter-long, jet-black leopard with eerie green eyes.
Shadow Leopard, Dark attribute, Bronze low grade, talent "Shadow".
Each time a footprint is left, it will automatically leave behind a shadow particle that is invisible to the naked eye.
When there are enough of these shadow particles, they can form shadow leap points. As long as the Shadow Leopard steps on them, it can move around as if it were teleporting.
However, this ability, besides accumulating shadow particles, consumes a great deal of one's own energy.
The Shadow Leopard is almost unable to use this ability against boss-level opponents, so this Shadow Leopard, which is only at the intermediate level one, is even less able to do so.
"Ah Leopard, chasing shadows!" The Shadow Leopard's beast tamer, intending to seize the initiative and strike first, directly had the Shadow Leopard use its only advanced skill.
With a delicate shout, the muscles on the four paws of the Shadow Leopard tensed, and its dark body exuded a dark, fiery aura. The dark energy vibrated, and the leopard's body transformed into a black whirlwind that swept towards them.
Xu Xian dared not be careless, and Wa Wa's eyes were serious, his focus heightened to the maximum.
A dark shadow flashed above Wawa. Xu Xian looked up and cried, "Wawa! Above!"
As Xu Xian offered his reminder, the Shadow Leopard extended its forelegs, its sharp claws splitting into black blades that stretched twenty centimeters into a single point.
Intermediate Skill: Shadow Blade!
Five sharp, black, curved blades fell straight down, carrying a chilling black aura that seemed capable of cutting through steel.
It was as swift as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to bring down five claw-like shadow blades on Vawa's head.
Fortunately, Vawa was on guard. A dark blue light emanated from her body, like blue flames rising, and she rushed towards the Shadow Leopard as a ball of energy.
Instantly, the Shadow Leopard seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible force.
The five shadowy claws were only an inch away from Wawa's head, but they just couldn't move forward even half an inch.
"Quack!!" Wawa's dark eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Now, it's my turn.
The frog's abdominal sac bulged into a round, rolling water ball, with water swaying within it. Its mouth opened wide, and dozens of water arrows poured out.
"Ah Leopard!" the Shadow Leopard's beast tamer shouted anxiously.
Of course, the Shadow Leopard wouldn't surrender easily.
His body was filled with dark energy, and he used his dark attribute energy to directly deflect Wawa's psychic power.
Immediately, his twin claws flashed across his face repeatedly.
It defended against the water arrows by attacking them instead of defending itself.
The Shadow Leopard's beast tamer immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But she seemed to be happy too soon.
In order to resist Vawa's psychic power and use Shadow Blade repeatedly, the Shadow Leopard's energy had already plummeted.
Once again, the Shadow Leopard's body was covered by psychic power, and this time it was no longer bound by the energy impact.
With a swift motion, Vawa unleashed dozens of tiny water arrows, completely annihilating and defeating its opponent.
"Well done!"
Xu Xian and Wa Wa high-fived in unison.
On the other hand, the students who didn't want to be the third ball but still wanted to give it a try had already been defeated.
The whole process ended quite cleanly.
He sent his Flying Thunderhawk into the arena, only to be kicked to the ground by Snow Rabbit with no resistance.
Before he could even admit defeat, he was kicked around like a ball and knocked unconscious on the spot.
