Chapter 2034: A Soldier Can Be Killed, but Never Humiliated
Instructor Wen glanced over at the fleshy winged dragon and lightly said, “A soldier can be killed, but never humiliated. That summoned beast would have rather been beaten black and blue than have all its hair plucked out.”
“You should restrain your summoned beast more in the future,” said Instructor Wen.
Lian Bingmeng’s expression turned ugly for a split second and her petting motion froze. She tried to explain herself. “Little Dragon is just mischievous. It had no malicious intentions. Besides, the hair will grow back.”
Instructor Wen frowned and stopped talking, staring instead at the battlefield situation in the arena.
“How did it go for you? Did you lose?” Lian Bingmeng felt a little awkward and could only talk to Ning Shu. Lian Bingmeng resentfully stared at Instructor Wen’s back.
Ning Shu said, “I was lucky and won.”
“Your luck is pretty good,” Lian Bingmeng lightly said. Her mood dropped a little.
The top 200 were selected on the first day of the tournament. Ning Shu had successfully advanced to within the top 200. In Lian Bingmeng’s words, she was a lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
When Ning Shu was battling, she didn’t release Little Gra.s.s even though Little Gra.s.s kept begging to come out.
Little Gra.s.s got very agitated when she saw the summoned beasts. She thought that even if she couldn’t eat two-legged people, the four-legged summoned beasts should be fine.
When Ning Shu ignored it, she kept calling in a soft and cute voice, “Master, Master…”
She was so persistent Ning Shu felt like her head was about to explode. Eventually, she directly roared at Little Gra.s.s to shut up.
Little Gra.s.s called out “Master” with a very resentful and pitiful voice.
After the battles, Ning Shu went home to train.
Tomorrow the tournament would continue. Ning Shu took a look at the remaining compet.i.tors and saw that some people in the academy were very strong.
Ning Shu had to practice hard to ensure that she could reach the end and stand in the same ring with Lian Bingmeng.
Defeating Lian Bingmeng in front of thousands of audience members without giving her any reason to take revenge— Yue Shuangshuang would probably love that.
After all, what Yue Shuangshuang wanted the most is to break away from Lian Bingmeng. When she was by Lian Bingmeng’s side, anything that she did that was against Lian Bingmeng’s will was a crime.
Little Gra.s.s hovered beside Ning Shu, absorbing the spiritual energy around her.
She was rather behaved though. She didn’t make a single sound so as to not disturb Ning Shu.
After Ning Shu finished cultivating, she opened her eyes and checked inside her dantian. The energy was a little golden but the dragon-shaped energy was still white. For that to become golden, a lot more spiritual energy would be needed.
She could only slowly cultivate it.
“Master, I want to fight,” Little Gra.s.s said softly to Ning Shu.
“I know that you’re l.u.s.ting after those four-legged summoned beasts. Listen to me, that kind of beast can’t be eaten, got it?” Ning Shu was super worried.
There was seriously way too much to worry about.
“Then what can I eat?” Little Gra.s.s said aggrievedly.
“You can eat it only if I say you can eat it, got it? Would you die if you didn’t eat!?” Ning Shu said in an annoyed tone.
“I would.”
Ning Shu: …
“Master, I’m a plant, I need nutrients.” Little Gra.s.s aggrievedly said.
Ning Shu took out a few monster crystals for Little Gra.s.s. “Is this enough to sustain you for a few days?”
“Thank you, Master.” Little Gra.s.s directly absorbed the monster crystals which turned into dust in a single moment.
Ning Shu: …
“Are you just going to absorb energy endlessly?” Ning Shu suddenly had a bad feeling about this. If it could absorb anything, wouldn’t its vines end up covering the entire world in the future?
“No, I only need energy when I need to get stronger,” Little Gra.s.s said simply.
