Chapter 228 - Kneeling!

The Howling Sky Demon Wolf was more than a level higher than the Explosive Wolves. Who knew how much time and energy it would take for one to tame it successfully? More importantly, one’s efforts would be in vain without sufficient mental strength.

When the students and teachers in the exam area heard that an examinee intended to challenge a Howling Sky Demon Wolf, they began to discuss it enthusiastically.

“I’m curious to know who is courageous enough to choose such a difficult beast to challenge.”

“Me too. I wonder what beast he has tamed.”

“As far as I know, the Howling Sky Demon Wolf is the strongest tamable Magical Beast to date, right?”

After listening to the students’ discussions, the teachers gave their opinions.

“The Howling Sky Demon Wolf is nearly impossible to tame.”

“Moreover, even if a formidable, tamed Magical Beast manages to defeat it, its owner would need to interact with it through spiritual energy. The tamed beast must also be aware of its owner’s spiritual energy. Otherwise, it would be tough to increase its intimacy.”

“Indeed. Taming a beast is a primary skill, and the students can only tame more lower-leveled beasts like the Flying Demon Rat and Ocelot. Still, one would typically raise those as pets.”

While the students and teachers engaged in discussions, a tall and thin figure appeared in the stands.

“Is that the examinee who wants to challenge the Howling Sky Demon Wolf?”

“Who is he?”

“That’s Mark Brown from Black Dragon City’s Number One High. He’s also an outstanding student in the top 200 during the elite training program. He performed well in the college entrance exams’ first three phases.

…

“Whoa, that’s a Demonic Dog! Amazing!”

The audience applauded and cheered non-stop when they saw the Demonic Dog bursting out of the arena doors.

“It’s tough to tame a Demonic Dog! Senior Mark has always been Black Dragon City Number One High’s pride.”

“To be honest, the Demonic Dog shouldn’t have issues dealing with any Magical Beast. Still…”

Another arena door opened as the audience spoke.

“Roar!”

Following the roar, a two-meter-long wolf-like beast with gray-white needle-like fur and a head the size of a brown bear’s head appeared before everyone.

“D*mn, I want to support Senior Mark, but how can his Demonic Dog beat a wolf?!”

“That’s not possible. Many dogs can fight ferocious beasts.”

“Yeah, but this is a battle between Magical Beasts. Bloodlines and food chains are insurmountable.”

“What an exhilarating battle! I think Mark’s Demonic Dog will defeat the Howling Sky Demon Wolf!”

After the terrifying roar, the battle the audience had expected did not happen. Instead, a more shocking scene appeared.

When the wolf appeared before the dog and roared at it, the dog did not even think of retaliating. Instead, the dog tucked its tail between its legs and lay on the ground. Mark’s dog no longer looked like a Demonic Dog.

The wolf saw this and howled toward the sky. The dog was so frightened that it peed and let out a weak whine. The unexpected scene caused the audience to burst into an uproar.

“What a humiliating sight.”

“The wolf ended the battle with just a roar and howl. The dog is such a coward. It didn’t even touch a single fur on the wolf.”

“It’s apparent which beast is higher on the food chain, but I wouldn’t have dreamt about such a result, even if it were a nightmare.”

“I pity Senior Mark for having such a cowardly dog on his side. He won’t score zero points for this, right?”

Amid the audience’s sighs, an announcement sounded in the exam area, “Examinee Moss, please get ready…”

Everyone in the exam area became excited when they heard it was time for Moss to enter the arena. Moss had consistently completed three level 10 hell exams over the past three days, and most examinees had long revered him as their idol.

Since the main exams had ended, there should not have been many people in the Magical Beast arena that day. Still, many showed up just to watch Moss’s performance.

Seeing Moss was still calmly waiting for his opponent, the students and teachers in the stands had an intense discussion.

“The Howling Sky Demon Wolf was awesome, but Moss probably won’t choose another challenging test this time, right?”

“No one would’ve expected Moss to complete a level 10 hell exam back then, but he completed three level 10 hell exams instead!”

“I know Moss is mighty, but this is a battle between beasts. The key to victory here is how well Moss had tamed his beast.”

“Moss is the creator of miracles, and I will always support him!”

Moss had won many people’s hearts and constantly surpassed their expectations. His supporters firmly believed he would choose the most challenging test to bring them another outstanding performance.

However, those who knew what Moss’s beast was were concerned for him. They secretly hoped he would choose the easy option this time, especially the Guardians.

“Choose easy, Moss. Your beast will crush the Ocelot!” At that moment, the incomparably anxious Alan wanted to hop the fence to press the easy button for Moss.

The other Guardians members were also waving their hands and shouting, but when a Howling Sky Demon Wolf appeared on the screen, the entire stadium was again in an uproar.

“As expected of Senior Moss. He chose the hardest option again.”

“I knew it. I adore Senior Moss’s courage and determination.”

“Indeed, Moss is courageous, but the final result depends on whether or not he had tamed his Magical Beast well. Mark was a good example of what I said.”

Moss’s Sacred Tabu Sheep appeared in the arena amid the audience’s discussions.

“Moss tamed a Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep?!”

“Did Moss choose the wrong beast?”

“He must be crazy!”

“He chose to fight a Howling Sky Demon Wolf?!”

“Wouldn’t it have been better if he chose to challenge an Ocelot? Why does he always feel the need to be in the limelight?”

Some of Moss’s fans even broke into tears. They thought he must have chosen the option by accident. However, they were also dumbfounded when they saw Moss’s calm and collectedness.

Michaels was about to slam his armrest and turn to scold Elroy when he first saw Moss’s Magical Beast, but he was shocked when he saw how the sheep reacted to the wolf.

“I-Is that the Sacred Tabu Sheep?!”

When Michaels turned and saw Elroy’s calm and composed expression, he was even more confident of his guess.

…

At that moment, Pu’er looked at the big screen, astonished. His brightly shined as he said, “That knight kid is becoming increasingly interesting.”

“Leader Pu’er, that kid has had quite a few fortuitous encounters. I feel like chatting with him to know what he has experienced.”

…

The few elders were excitedly talking about Moss’s Magical Beast when something happened on the screen.

When the wolf raised its head and roared at the sky domineeringly, Little Seven immediately stood up and kicked its front legs in a cool, adorable manner. Then it simply stood tall and loftily.

The wolf saw this and kneeled with its tail tucked between its legs. Yes, it knelt in fear. The members of BT006 laughed aloud when they saw what had happened.

“Hahaha, it looks like the Howling Sky Demon Wolf is quite sensitive.”

Unlike the cheerful atmosphere in the manor, the air in the exam area and the stands were more conflicted.

Moss’s fans were pleasantly surprised that he had once again created a miracle. Still, they were dumbfounded and did not understand what had happened.

“Did the wolf fall in love with Moss’s Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep or something? If not, I don’t know what else to say.”

“It’s also likely that Moss’s temperament has shocked the wolf.”

“Well said. That’s a reasonable explanation.”

The audience members who had questioned Moss’s choice in difficulty were the more restless ones among the others. Their jaws almost hit the ground, and they dared not move or say a word.

Amid the exclamations, Moss put Little Seven back into his spatial dimension and calmly walked to the next exam area.
