Chapter 45: Fighting For The Ranking

‘Not good! Could it be that he was already prepared for this?’

The principal immediately sat up straight and watched the match in surprise.

Everything that had happened just now was already unexpected enough, but he did not expect that Luo Jin had actually prepared something even more outrageous.

‘This is too sinister! Whether it’s the spirit beast’s actions or his usual way of thinking, all of this revealed Luo Jin’s viciousness!’

When the principal first saw Luo Jin’s spirit beast, a question had formed in his heart.

Although Luo Jin’s spirit beast was rare, it also had a certain level of combat ability. However, compared to most spirit beasts that focused on combat, it was more of a support-type!

The principal was also a little surprised that he could reach Second Echelon with this spirit beast. But today, he finally understood…

With this kind of sinister thinking and strategizing, those boorish people who only knew how to attack could not compare to him at all!

In order to win this match, Luo Jin did not even hesitate to hurt the surrounding students!

The principal looked at the audience members who were biting their tongues and shook his head helplessly.

After this, the Luo family would most likely have to pay a large sum for medical expenses.



“Hahaha, Shen Fei, prepare to die!” Luo Jin’s eyes trembled with excitement.

Although Shen Fei’s Flame Owl was very weak, it could fly in the air with its wings. Therefore, it was not easy for the Ocean Mirage to catch it, as it could only move on the ground.

However, by using this method to trick it into coming aground, the Ocean Mirage would have an opportunity!

However, Shen Fei’s actions in the last minute also surprised Luo Jin.

Shen Fei actually wanted to save these people, who have accumulated hatred for him for a long time. Luo Jin did not expect him to have such a noble character.

‘Heh, heh… Then let his epitaph say he was noble!’

“Ocean Mirage! Whip the Flame Owl and smash it into pieces!”

The Ocean Mirage also trembled with excitement inside its clamshell. Countless pitch-black tentacles lashed out at the Flame Owl like whips!

At first, the Flame Owl was still dodging with ease, but under the continuous tentacle assault, the Flame Owl gradually showed signs of fatigue, and the frequency of its flapping had slowed down.

“Hahahaha! Your spirit beast is already flying so hard, don’t you want to summon your other spirit beast to replace it?”

Seeing such an outcome. The grin on Luo Jin’s face became more and more arrogant. Everything was just as he had planned!

‘Without that Three-clawed Golden Dragon, Shen Fei is a complete F-class trash!’

Strength Enhancement was useless to the Flame Owl—like a bicycle to a fish. If this continued, Shen Fei would be defeated by Luo Jin sooner or later!

“That’s none of your concern!” Shen Fei frowned. He gazed at his Flame Owl with worry.

“Oh, really?” Luo Jin’s face became even more cheerful.

‘Even at such a crucial moment, Shen Fei is still being stubborn? It seems that he doesn’t want his useless spirit beast anymore! Then, I shall take this opportunity to help him!’

Luo Jin raised his eyebrows, and the killing intent in his eyes instantly skyrocketed.

“Ocean Mirage, it’s time to let this guy have a taste of your power!”

With a hiss, the tentacles in the clamshell suddenly pulled back from the audience and rushed toward the Flame Owl flying unsteadily in the air!

“Not good, Flame Owl, get out of the way!”

The Flame Owl acted as though it was struggling to stay aloft. All this while it pretended to exert tremendous strength in flight.

‘This is bad! The situation is critical!’ Even the principal could not help but frown. ‘Shen Fei’s Flame Owl seems to have no strength left. The Flame Owl’s round body isn’t suitable to stay in the air for a long time. If he still doesn’t summon the Three-clawed Golden Dragon to block it, Shen Fei’s Flame Owl will die for sure!’

The principal frowned, his hands gripping the armrests tightly. If it was not for the rules of the competition, where people outside the ring were absolutely not allowed to interfere, he would have already summoned his own spirit beast to block the attack for the Flame Owl!

‘Hurry up, Shen Fei!’ The principal roared in his heart.

“Flame Owl, move!” Shen Fei frowned.

However, he was secretly delighted. ‘This little guy’s acting is really on point.’

From a distance, one might not be able to see clearly, but Shen Fei could clearly feel his Flame Owl’s condition. The feathers on his body were burning intensely, and the warm updraft was constantly lifting him up. His body allowed him to fly more easily in the air.

That struggling appearance just now was completely an act to confuse the opponent. However, no one present seemed to think it was an act. Even the principal, who had been calm, grew nervous.

“Coo, coo!”

The Flame Owl flapped its wings, and flames spread out from its body like flying feathers. Everything was going according to Shen Fei’s plan.

‘Flame Owl, do you see that? It’s that tentacle that’s very close to you. Be careful and make sure to disguise yourself when you pass it. We have to pretend that this is our first time doing this.’

“Coo, coo!”

The Flame Owl took out the feathers condensed by the flames, and then pretended to flee in a hurry, trying to scour upwards.

Thwack!

The pitch-black tentacle suddenly split the Flame Owl’s wing in half. The Flame Owl instantly lost its ability to fly, and with a shrill cry, it fell from a few hundred meters in the air.

Everyone at the scene let out a burst of exclamations.

“Luo Jin has actually done it!”

“He actually managed to harm Shen Fei’s spirit beast.”

“It’s so powerful!”

Even the principal was dumbfounded as he watched this.

‘Damn it, as expected, an ordinary spirit beast is still not strong enough to fight against a legendary spirit beast…’

“Flame Owl!” Shen Fei suddenly exclaimed. He pretended to be worried and rushed forward.

However, just as Shen Fei took a step forward, a pitch-black tentacle suddenly blocked Shen Fei’s path.

Luo Jin looked at the Flame Owl that was falling from the sky, and said proudly, “Rules of the arena: you’re not allowed to leave the stage!”

“You—”

Shen Fei raised his fist with all his might, and just as he was about to hit the tentacle, Luo Jin immediately clasped Shen Fei’s fist and laughed triumphantly. “The rules of the arena are as such, don’t you ever forget.”

He looked at the Flame Owl that was still tumbling from the sky with satisfaction.

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl cried out in panic from the air. It continuously kept track of the Ocean Mirage below.

“You still have one more chance.” Luo Jin grinned as he watched Shen Fei unclench his fist.

“Hurry up and summon your dragon! In the end, without the dragon, you and your Flame Owl are just trash! Take a good look at yourself”—Luo Jin gave Shen Fei a hard push—”without that dragon, you’re nothing!

“The one holding the First Echelon title shouldn’t be you, but me, Luo Jin!”
