Chapter 16: “I Admit Defeat, Don’t Hit Me in the Face.”
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With the instruction of the dean, the combat practical test officially began.
The students of each cla.s.s began to draw the partic.i.p.ants randomly.
The other students had already finished drawing the lots, and the students who drew the lots finally felt relieved.
“Wow! Wonderful! I’m not going to fight with that demon Fang Yuan!”
As long as they didn’t draw Fang Yuan, looking at the opponents that they had drawn, they felt they were extraordinary amiable.
They had never felt that their opponent’s face was so likable.
They even wanted to go up and give him a kiss.
The students who had not drawn lot frowned. Their expressions were solemn, and their eyes were dull.
They had a feeling of constipation.
The student who reached out his hand to touch the box murmured while touching it, “No, no, Fang Yuan, don’t come over!”
“Eh! I got it!”
“B*stard, what did you get? !”
“Great, I don’t have to fight with Fang Yuan!”
The other students on the stage still remembered how badly they had been beaten up yesterday.
Obviously, some people were sneaky, some were tough, and Fang Yuan didn’t care about their life.
No one wanted to be beaten up in front of all the teachers, students, and parents, so badly that even their own mothers couldn’t recognize him.
“Fortunately, you don’t have to fight with Fang Yuan. Congratulations.”
“Same to you.”
Li Yizheng was still looking around the drawing counter. He reached out and touched the lot. “Let me see who the unlucky guy to fight with Fang Yuan is.”
He slowly opened up the lot that he had drawn.
On it was a line of elegant signature: Fang Yuan.
Li Yizheng’s eyes almost popped out. “It’s actually me? F *ck you, why?!”
The students lining up at the back secretly felt relieved and patted his shoulder to show their empathy.
“The first match, Cla.s.s A Fang Yuan versus Cla.s.s A Li Yizheng.”
“Now, please walk up to the opposite platform.”
Li Yizheng rubbed his head, which had been hurting from yesterday’s beating, and walked up reluctantly.
On the other side, Fang Yuan was frank and open. He cupped his hands and said, “Great to meet you.”
“Now, please summon your respective battle pets.”
“Three, two, one, the match begins.”
Fang Yuan’s shadow wolf and Iris spider king were already waiting on the field.
It was the same lineup as yesterday.
It was still a familiar prescription, and a familiar smell.
Li Yizheng realized that when he stood on the stage, he could still remembered the pain from yesterday. His legs could not help but tremble.
The pet beast he summoned was not the Nether Croc from yesterday.
Instead, it was a small snail-like insect.
Fang Yuan focused his eyes and listened carefully. To his surprise, he found out the insect seemed to be talking to him, and its voice was still Li Yizheng’s.
“I say, student Fang Yuan, oh no, Brother Fang Yuan, I want to discuss something with you. My family is watching from below.”
It seemed that Li Yizheng was using the insect to transmit his voice.
He didn’t expect the pet beast to have such a function, which was strange.
Before Fang Yuan could react, Li Yizheng was silent for a while and then continued, “Three thousand dollars, no face slapping, how about it?”
“…”
About the situation of Li Yizheng’s Li family, Fang Yuan had heard a little about it. The Li family started out in business and was considered the most wealthy financial group among the four families.
Their family’s young master, Li Yizheng, obviously had completely inherited the style of his family. If he could solve a problem with money, he didn’t need to solve it with his fists.
Moreover, he couldn’t solve it with his fists…
If he could not win, he would join in. This was the principle that his family believed in.
“Five thousand,” Fang Yuan did not hesitate for long, and then added another condition, “and the pet beast that you have on you to transmit your voice.”
“Deal.”
Li Yizheng immediately nodded. Fang Yuan called the Shadow Wolf to come forward, and with a collision, it hit the opponent’s waist, knocking Li Yizheng out of the boundary.
The referee, “Contestant Li Yizheng is out of bounds! Fang Yuan wins!”
Li Yizheng, who had been knocked out, patted his b.u.t.t happily and stood up. Fang Yuan had controlled his strength very well.
It looked very impactful, but in fact, it did not hurt at all.
“What an impressive battle!”
Li Yizheng stretched out his hand and shook Fang Yuan’s hand tightly. The contract of the little bug was immediately transferred to the latter.
At the same time, he also sent a message from Li Yizheng, “Thank you for your care, Brother Yuan. You will reap the most honorable friendship of the Li family.”
[ Choose a hundred times enhanced quality. ]
The pet bug that he obtained was called the echo snail.
Although its quality was only black iron, and it was still only a high-grade bronze tier after the 100 times amplification, its skill was very magical.
Other than the [ voice transmission ] that Li Yizheng used just now, it could communicate with people in secret environments.
After the 100 times amplification, he even obtained a very powerful and rare skill [ mind reading ] .
The effect was that he could read the thoughts of trainers whose spiritual power was lower than his own. This was an unexpected gain.
…
Fang Yuan only used one move to knock Li Yizheng out of the bounds. The first match quickly pa.s.sed, and the second match came.
“The second match, Cla.s.s A Fang Yuan versus Cla.s.s A w.a.n.g Zijun.”
Wasn’t this a coincidence? They were old acquaintances again.
w.a.n.g Zijun’s w.a.n.g family had an extraordinary background. A few years ago, when the era of pet beasts in the world had just begun, it was a turbulent era.
The ancestor of the w.a.n.g family was the extraordinaire who was the first to obtain the power of the arcane realm in the obelisk.
Because of this, the w.a.n.g family also rose into the upper cla.s.s, becoming one of the four great aristocratic families in Chuxin City.
The ancestors guarded the blue wave arcane realm at the mouth of the river into the sea for generations, which was equivalent to playing the role of the guardian of the arcane realm.
Although the family’s power had gradually declined over the years, the pride that was rooted in the bones of the old aristocrats was still there.
Some aristocrats were behaving in this manner. They were clearly on the verge of their family’s decline, but they still held on because of their face.
Posturing was the first driving force of their actions.
The w.a.n.g family, where w.a.n.g Zijun was from, was such a once aristocratic family.
The family motto of the w.a.n.g family was to protect the honor of the guardians of the blue wave arcane realm at all costs.
This family motto was pa.s.sed down from the w.a.n.g family’s ancestors to w.a.n.g Zijun’s grandfather, w.a.n.g Zijun’s father, and now to w.a.n.g Zijun.
However, w.a.n.g Zijun along with the other 22 young masters of Cla.s.s A was actually beaten up by a commoner, Fang Yuan.
It was very dishonorable and very unaristocratic.
Therefore, in today’s combat training, w.a.n.g Zijun had to make up for it.
“Student Fang Yuan, I have to admit that in yesterday’s battle, you displayed quite a remarkable strength and have already received the recognition of the w.a.n.g family. Although you are a young man with potential, you are still lacking in front of the w.a.n.g family. The w.a.n.g family cherishes talent and doesn’t wish for me to accidentally injure you in the battle. I hope that you will admit defeat in advance and take the initiative to take a turn for nothing. Don’t be unappreciative.”
w.a.n.g Zijun started the vicious speech before the battle, but Fang Yuan used echo snail’s [ mind reading ] skill.
He heard w.a.n.g Zijun’s thoughts.
