Chapter 69: Star Sand Awakens, Lian Xing Challenges Phantom Sea Academy!!
“With your current strength, you probably can’t defeat this person…” the pearl shell said, looking at the Moonlight Rabbit sleeping peacefully between the golden-haired girl’s buns.
Hearing this, the blue-haired girl with pigtails and a fishtail looked bewildered. She stared at the golden-haired girl, her gaze traveling from her stocking-clad legs to her golden buns.
Impossible…
This…temptress…?
Could she really be stronger than her?
“Xiao Quan, I know you just defeated a peak Commander-Tier pet beast and are feeling confident, thinking you’re invincible below Royal-Tier. But that’s not true!”
“Peak Commander-Tier pet beasts vary in strength. The one you defeated was just barely qualified for Royal-Tier.”
“So, avoid her for now. My restriction hasn’t lifted yet, and I can’t fight. Understand?”
“…”
“…”
“Yes, Master.” After a long silence, Tian Quan reluctantly looked away.
Even though her master’s judgment was never wrong, she still couldn’t accept the fact that she might lose!!
After all, aura wasn’t the only indicator of strength.
Battles were unpredictable, and with her extensive experience and carefully crafted lineup, she could definitely overcome the difference in combat skill quality and evolution level!!!
Meanwhile, Lian Xing, having been inexplicably glared at by Tian Quan, the leader of the Ten Greats, blinked in confusion. She was dressed quite conservatively today, her stockings weren’t even that revealing. She hadn’t done anything to offend anyone, right?
“Do you know each other?” Silver Dragon asked, turning to look at them, her expression wary.
Lian Xing shook her head.
“No, maybe she’s just ill?”
“…”
“…”
At this moment, Xiao Kui’s livestream camera was focused on Lian Xing. Lian Xing’s appearance was even more stunning in person than online, her every angle exuding an alluring charm, making one’s mouth water.
Seeing Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, the chat immediately started encouraging Xiao Kui. Xiao Kui had made bold claims when she first encountered Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, and after the White Maple Academy second team’s defeat, she had even declared that she would ravage Lian Xing for three days and three nights if she saw her in real life.
But…
Because Lian Xing was with the Wind God Academy team, Xiao Kui had lost all her confidence, shrinking back, not even daring to make eye contact. She was arrogant and aggressive online, but in reality, she didn’t even dare to talk to Strongest Moonlight Rabbit.
This was hilarious.
Finally, after the Wind God Academy and Phantom Sea Academy teams left, Xiao Kui let out a sigh of relief, then followed them, pretending nothing had happened.
League Venue.
The 80 teams that had qualified from the preliminaries were all gathered in the central hall of the preparation area. As usual, the official competition wouldn’t start until tomorrow. Today was for the drawing of lots and the challenge round. Only after these 80 teams were reduced to 20 would they advance to the top 30, joining the Ten Greats academies.
The top ten teams from the previous league were exempt from the preliminaries.
At this moment, facing the countless cameras, the expressions of the participants were slightly unnatural. Although the competition hadn’t officially begun, their online accounts had already started gaining followers the moment they entered the venue…
The highly anticipated Baiyue Province Academy League, the ultimate stepping stone to fame!!
Their future earnings depended entirely on their looks, personalities, personas, combat prowess, and memorable moments. Even if they couldn’t achieve a high ranking, as long as they were remembered by the audience, they would be set for life, endorsement deals pouring in~~~
However…
As the start of the league approached, the Youlan Academy members were getting anxious, still not seeing their captain, Lian Xing.
Then, with perfect timing, just as the host appeared on stage, the golden-haired girl, her head lowered, her hands covering her buns, rushed back to the Youlan Academy team from the Wind God Academy VIP area.
“Lian Xing…”
“You almost missed it!!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine~~~~” Lian Xing sat down nonchalantly, wiping the sweat from her brow, ignoring Tao Wan’s angry question.
The captains were about to draw lots. If the camera turned to Youlan Academy and found their captain missing, it would be a disaster.
“Whoosh!!!!”
“??????????”
Suddenly, a wave of gasps and screams filled the venue. The official livestream chat was instantly flooded with question marks.
Seeing the blue-haired woman emerging from backstage, almost all the participants were stunned. Even Yu Bo of Youlan Academy, usually cold and aloof, looked at her with admiration.
The woman before them had crystal-clear fins growing all over her body, her long, white legs so delicate they seemed to melt, a stunning hybrid beauty. Unlike Tian Quan’s prominent tail, her two fishtails flowed out from her ears, like forked bangs, constantly dripping shimmering water droplets.
It was no exaggeration to say that her strength and lineup were beyond the level of a student. There were even rumors that she had received invitations from organizations in 8th-level regions.
Just seeing her, one could clearly sense the vast difference between ordinary Beast Tamers and legends.
This was…
Baoyu Shuitianliang, a graduate of Phantom Sea Academy, five-time league champion, considered the strongest Beast Tamer in Baiyue Province in the past century, having reached Royal-Tier just a year after graduating, now serving as a guardian in a neighboring 8th-level region!!!
“My god, why is a Beast Tamer of her level hosting the league in Baiyue Province!?”
As this legendary figure appeared, not only did the livestream chat explode, but many of the participants also lost their composure, screaming and crying, hoping to catch her attention.
It was no exaggeration to say that Shuitianliang’s combat power was likely the highest in Baiyue Province, and she was only 25 years old. Even the Phantom Sea Academy members seemed a bit overwhelmed, but under Tian Quan’s disapproving gaze, none of them dared to approach and make a scene.
After the commotion died down, Shuitianliang, the host, finally spoke.
“Now, any team that wishes to challenge one of the Ten Greats academies, please come forward and announce your target.”
“If the challenger wins, their team will automatically skip the preliminaries, and the defeated Ten Greats academy will be forced to participate. However, if the challenger loses, they will be immediately disqualified, unable to even participate in the resurrection round. Please consider your decision carefully, captains~~~”
“Additionally, the top three Ten Greats academies have the right to refuse challenges.”
“…”
“…”
As Shuitianliang finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the venue.
Everyone already knew the rules.
In the past, almost no one would challenge a Ten Greats academy in this round. After all, no one would risk their chance to advance to the top 30 just for a moment of fame. And most captains wouldn’t dare to bear the responsibility and shame of being eliminated after a loss.
Only a few teams with no hope of qualifying would occasionally try to make a scene, hoping to gain some attention with their unorthodox strategies, only to be mocked by billions of viewers.
But most of the time, people were rational.
Surely, no one would be so foolish as to seek their own destruction?
At this moment, most of the participants and viewers held this belief.
But for some reason…
The atmosphere in the Ten Greats academies’ section was tense.
Especially White Maple Academy and Iron Hostel Academy, who kept glancing towards Youlan Academy.
White Maple Academy’s grudge against Youlan Academy was well-known. And the Iron Hostel Academy members weren’t fools. After watching Strongest Moonlight Rabbit defeat Cangying Academy, they had noticed the similarities between her and Super Golden Wheel.
So, if Lian Xing wanted to claim a spot among the Ten Greats, the safest way was to defeat Heavenly Tomb of Iron Hostel Academy again…
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the golden-haired girl with buns, her arms crossed, scanned the Ten Greats academies, seemingly choosing her target.
The preliminary rounds were troublesome, but through this method, she could advance to the top 30 with just one victory~~~
“Last ten seconds. Anyone want to challenge a Ten Greats academy?”
“…”
“…”
“Last five seconds!!”
“Last second!!!”
As Shuitianliang’s voice echoed, just as White Maple Academy and Iron Hostel Academy sighed in relief…
Under everyone’s gaze, a golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes stood up from the Youlan Academy section.
At that moment, time seemed to stop, all cameras and devices focusing on the girl.
Strongest Moonlight Rabbit, Lian Xing!!!
Bun hairstyle, starry eyes, perfect curves and slender legs, and those semi-transparent stockings…she instantly captured the attention of countless viewers.
As mentioned before, in this beast-taming world, beautiful girls were everywhere, super beauties were a dime a dozen. Only two types of beauties could truly stand out.
One, hybrid Beast Tamers with unique and alluring features.
Two, incredibly attractive girls who could awaken everyone’s desires.
Lian Xing belonged to the second category.
They wondered if those lewd starry eyes would still hold that same joyful and condescending look when she was pinned down…
Looking at the calm golden-haired girl, Shuitianliang asked again, “Captain of Youlan Academy, are you sure you want to challenge a Ten Greats academy?”
“…”
“…”
“Yes, I want to challenge…White—”
Under the anxious gazes of the White Maple Academy members and Xiao Kui, Strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s starry eyes seemed to settle on them.
This is it…
We’re doomed…
At this moment, except for Captain Aurora, everyone was pessimistic.
Meanwhile, the Dean of Youlan Academy, Chi Yan’s mother, watched the livestream, her face flushed with excitement. In her view, Lian Xing’s true strength was definitely on par with Aurora, one of the Ten Greats!!!
If they could defeat a Ten Greats academy in this round, they would gain the attention and admiration of all the viewers, and Youlan Academy would become famous!
She didn’t have high expectations. As long as Youlan Academy could barely make it into the bottom of the Ten Greats, she would be overjoyed.
However…
Just as Lian Xing was about to name White Maple Academy, a lazy groan came from within her.
At that moment…Star Sand awakened!!
Come to think of it, she hadn’t let Star Sand battle since contracting it, right?
She wondered if Star Sand would be able to wake up in time for the main tournament.
But since it was awake now, she might as well let it gain some experience, right?
Lian Xing changed her mind.
“Captain of Youlan Academy, which academy are you challenging?” Shuitianliang, the host, seeing Lian Xing hesitate after almost naming White Maple Academy, asked again, confused.
Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl’s starry eyes moved away from the pale-faced White Maple Academy members, landing on the other side of the venue.
At the same time, as if sensing something, Tian Quan, sitting in the Phantom Sea Academy section, scowled, her expression darkening.
“I’m challenging—”
“Phantom Sea Academy~~~~”
“…”
“…”
“???”
“??????????”
As Lian Xing’s casual words echoed, a strange silence fell over the venue, followed by an uproar.
Heh, what was Youlan Academy thinking?
They were just clowns seeking attention!!!
At this moment, Lian Xing’s intentions were clear.
She was participating in the league to promote herself!!!
But…
This…wasn’t a bad thing?
Many new fans were already waiting for Youlan Academy’s inevitable defeat, anticipating the moment when Captain Lian Xing would reveal her contact information.
However…
At this moment, in the midst of the strange atmosphere…
Under the incredulous gazes of Shuitianliang, the host, and the other participants, Tian Quan’s face twisted in fear.
“Calm down, Xiao Quan!!!”
“Listen to me! You absolutely cannot fight her today!!!”
“Her…state…is strange!!!!”
As the pearl shell on her head frantically transmitted its message, Tian Quan’s expression darkened, her fishtail trembling.
How could she endure this!?
If she backed down here, how could she surpass Baoyu Shuitianliang and become the strongest Beast Tamer in Baiyue Province!?
