Chapter 119: My Daoist title is Fairy Beixuan!
Spencer Sinclair stood at a solid six feet tall with well-built muscles, easily weighing in at a conservative two hundred pounds. Yet, he was sent flying with a single slap from a tentacle.
It was clear that the power behind this "Kitty Tentacle Smash" was absolutely no joke.
"Spencer! Spencer!" Spencer's classmate hurriedly ran over. Seeing that Spencer was knocked out cold, he didn't dare stick around. Leaving Spencer behind, he dashed off to get help.
The lolita-clad girl clapped her hands and stuck her tongue out at Spencer's unconscious form. "Let's see if you dare look down on girls in lolita dresses again. Hmph!"
Then, the lolita-clad girl turned her head to look at Fly.
However, the moment she caught sight of Fly's handsome and refreshing features, the disdainful expression she wore just a second ago instantly vanished. The cat plushie, which had its maw stretched wide open like a bloodthirsty beast, quickly reverted to its original form, as if absolutely nothing had happened.
Fly glanced at the unconscious Spencer.
He was never interested in playing the hero to save the damsel in distress in the first place. The only reason he walked over was that he couldn't stand Spencer calling Star City trash.
But before he could even lift a finger, the guy had already passed out. He couldn't exactly just walk over and kick a man while he was down, could he?
He figured it was best to wait until the tournament to teach this loudmouth a lesson.
With that thought, Fly turned around and headed back.
"Hey, wait!" The lolita-clad girl hadn't expected Fly to just leave without saying a word. She froze for a moment before hurriedly calling out to stop him.
"What is it?" Fly stopped in his tracks and glanced back at her.
"Uh..." The lolita-clad girl looked as if she had something to say but hesitated.
In the past, whenever guys saw the two of them, they would either try every trick in the book to suck up to them, or they would stare unblinkingly, terrified of missing even a single second.
But from Fly, the lolita-clad girl couldn't sense that vibe at all.
However, Fly's indifferent attitude instead sparked her competitive spirit.
"Oh?"
"I saw that you were about to make a move just now. Weren't you trying to play the hero?"
As she spoke, the lolita-clad girl deliberately emphasized the word "hero."
"No," Fly shook his head slightly.
"No? Then what was it for?" A hint of confusion flashed through the girl's eyes.
She genuinely thought Fly was trying to score points with them by playing the knight in shining armor, only to use that as an excuse to ask for their numbers.
If it were any ordinary guy, she naturally wouldn't give him the time of day, much less feel any gratitude.
After all, speaking of fighting, she had never been afraid of anyone.
But Fly's looks were undeniably outstanding.
Even as proud as she was, she couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in her heart.

She originally intended to give Fly an out, lighten the mood, and take the chance to get to know him... but she never expected him to have such an attitude.
"Because I'm a student from Star City High," Fly pointed at Spencer, who was sprawled out on the ground.
The underlying message was clear: he hadn't planned on standing up for them at all; he was just pissed off by Spencer's remarks.
"Star City High..." The lolita-clad girl bit her lip, not expecting such a misunderstanding. "Then, do you want to know who we are?"
In her eyes, Fly was at least a competitor in The Jade State League. No matter how poor his Martial Studies talent might be, he should have recognized the sheer power behind the strike she just used to take down Spencer.
Even if he wasn't curious about their looks, shouldn't he at least be curious about their strength?
At the very least, he should want to gather some intel on potential opponents for the upcoming matches, right?
"Not really interested," Fly replied indifferently.
It wasn't that Fly was trying to play hard to get; it was just...
What did it matter to him who they were?
Even if he knew their names, would that magically help him investigate their true strength?
If not, why bother wasting mental energy on it?
The group stages were starting in just an hour or two. Prepping for the matches was the only thing that mattered right now.
"Dammit, you might not want to know, but I'm going to tell you anyway!" The lolita-clad girl stomped her feet in sheer frustration.
This was the first time she had ever met someone as difficult as Fly.
For someone as arrogant as her, this brought about a slight sense of defeat.
She spoke with exasperation, not even bothering to maintain her sweet, soft-spoken voice anymore.
"Listen closely, you brat from Star City High!"
"Your mama here—... Ahem..."
Realizing she was being a bit too vulgar, she coughed awkwardly, slipping back into her ladylike persona as her voice turned gentle once more.
"My Daoist title is Fairy Beixuan!"
"And this here," she pointed at the white-clad girl beside her, "is the renowned Jade Flute Fairy, the undisputed strongest freshman Beast Warrior in the entire Jade State."
Fairy Beixuan's lips curled upwards, putting on an incredibly smug air.
Now he should be scared, right?
Hearing this, however, Fly's previously calm expression suddenly cracked.
"Daoist title..."
Good grief.
So she's a total chuuni, huh?
She even came up with a Daoist title.
Jade Flute Fairy, Fairy Beixuan.
Fly's mind instantly conjured up the ultimate overpowered, god-slaying protagonist from the web novels of his past life—the Shilipo Sword God, Immortal Venerable Beixuan.
They've definitely read way too many Xianxia novels.
"You should probably cut back on the Xianxia novels," Fly shook his head in exasperation.
Nope, just nope.
Fly waved dismissively and took his leave. He even deliberately quickened his pace as he walked away, looking as if he was terrified of catching her chuuni delusions.
Fairy Beixuan hadn't expected this kind of reaction from Fly at all.
"You little brat from Star City High, I'll—"
But, just as Fairy Beixuan was about to attack, the girl she called the Jade Flute Fairy raised a hand and grabbed her wrist.
"Leave," the Jade Flute Fairy uttered a single word, as if her words were worth their weight in gold. Then, she turned and walked toward the other end of the corridor.
"But..." Fairy Beixuan wanted to say more, but she didn't dare defy the Jade Flute Fairy.
"Forget it."
"It's not like we'll ever cross paths again anyway."
Fairy Beixuan muttered to herself, shooting one last glance at Fly's retreating figure.
"At the end of the day, Star City High doesn't even have the qualifications to compete against us."
...
Spencer's runaway classmate finally brought a teacher over, hoping to find those two girls, but they were a step too late.
By the time they arrived, the two girls were long gone.
Although the teacher from Grand River High noticed Fly and his group, he only shot them a glance from afar.
The group stages were starting in little over an hour; now wasn't the time to stir up trouble.
After a moment of thought, the teacher simply directed the accompanying students to carry Spencer to the infirmary first.
On the other side, Fly returned to his teammates.
"What were you guys talking about just now?" Jett, who was still hung up on the Jade Flute Fairy, couldn't wait to ask the moment Fly returned. "Did you manage to get their numbers?"
"Just two girls who have been brainwashed by Xianxia novels," Fly replied helplessly.
"Xianxia novels? What Xianxia novels?" Hearing this, Jett was taken aback.
Could that snow-white dress be cosplay of some immortal from a Xianxia novel?
"Who knows what Xianxia novel?" Fly sighed. "That girl in the lolita dress actually called herself 'Fairy Beixuan.'"
"She also claimed the girl in white beside her is someone called... the Jade Flute Fairy, boasting that she's the strongest freshman Beast Warrior in the Jade State right now."
"It's just... completely chuuni," Fly grumbled.
But to Fly's surprise, the moment those words left his mouth, 'Emperor' Valerius's eyes snapped wide open.
"What did you just say?"
"Just as I suspected."
"They really are Jade Flute and Beixuan."
'Emperor' Valerius then gasped sharply, as if recounting something utterly terrifying.
He whipped his head around, but the two girls were already nowhere to be seen.
