Chapter 90 Xue Ling's Revenge
Zhuang Lifeng had just regained his footing when he was firmly bound by the ice crystal chains. He cursed angrily, "Jiang Han, you have no martial ethics! You actually ambushed me!"
"Brother, good luck. My summoned beast might hold a grudge, but I'll tell it to go easy on you. You can rest assured," Jiang Han said with a smile.
As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, Xue Ling used her tail to lash Zhuang Lifeng away. Xue Ling's strike wasn't forceful, so Zhuang Lifeng didn't feel any pain. But that wasn't all; after lashing Zhuang Lifeng away, Xue Ling quickly gave chase. The atmosphere of the beast-fighting competition then began to take a bizarre turn. On the left side, Jiang Han, Shen Shanhe, and several other students were engaged in a fierce exchange of blows, while on the right side, Zhuang Lifeng was being whipped around the arena by Xue Ling's tail—a truly bizarre scene.
"Hmm, aside from being a little embarrassing, it actually felt quite good to be whipped by this fox's tail. No, no, you're going to be the heir of the Zhuang family in the future, how can you have such a weird idea?" Zhuang Lifeng shook his head frantically, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind.
When Zhuang Lifeng came to his senses, he saw Xue Ling's two dark blue eyes narrow into crescent moons. Then, a tremendous force came from Xue Ling's tail as she lashed out, sending Zhuang Lifeng flying onto the arena's barrier. Good heavens, this is your revenge, you fox!
Thus, Zhuang Lifeng was eliminated in such a ridiculous way. Not long after Zhuang Lifeng's elimination, Shen Shanhe and several other students followed in his footsteps. Thus, the third wave of students challenging Jiang Han suffered another complete defeat.
Xu Zhaoting, sitting in Lei Yuan's seat, murmured softly, "I didn't expect your strength to improve so much in just a few months. It seems I really have no hope of surpassing you."
"Zhaoting, are you alright?" the girl beside Xu Zhaoting asked softly.
"It's nothing, just a bit sentimental. Prodigies are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people like us," Xu Zhaoting said helplessly.
After Jiang Han eliminated the third wave of challengers, Mo Fan, who was healing his Ghost Wolf Beast outside the barrier, suddenly opened his eyes. After such a long period of healing, his Ghost Wolf Beast had not only recovered from its injuries, but its strength had also advanced to the next stage. At this moment, he really wanted to lead his Ghost Wolf Beast to dominate the beast fighting competition, but after seeing the silver-haired youth in the arena, his heart turned cold.
Damn it, when did Jiang Han go up there? How am I supposed to fight now?
He knew Jiang Han's strength very well. Back in Bo City, he was able to kill a Bone Spike Wolf of the War General level in one fell swoop. Challenging that freak was just asking for trouble.
"Oh, so you've finally woken up, our last remaining summoner," Wang Liting said sarcastically.
Mo Fan glanced coldly at Wang Liting but ignored him, instead asking Jiang Yunming, "Were all the summoners eliminated by that guy Jiang Han?"
"No, Wang Liting, Yan Yuan, and Huo Min were eliminated by a mid-level mage from the Ice Academy. The silver-haired student who's on stage now is representing our Summoning Department, but his eliminations don't count towards our quota. The most important thing is that if you can beat him, you'll get a week of training in the Three-Step Tower." Jiang Yunming didn't hide anything and told Mo Fan everything that had happened while he was healing the Ghost Wolf Beast. He also explained the function of the Three-Step Tower to Mo Fan. However, Mo Fan's lips twitched when he heard that the condition was to beat Jiang Han.
Wow, challenging Jiang Han, that's really audacious.
"Hey, has your Shadow Wolf Beast recovered? If not, let's call it a day," Jiang Yunming said helplessly.
If this were to end, all of their Summoning Department's cultivation resources for this semester would belong to the Ice Academy, where Luo Song resides. This is the cultivation resource of their entire Summoning Department! Top-tier academies like Pearl Academy allocate considerable resources, and even scions of noble families would fight tooth and nail for them. The thought of the entire department's cultivation resources being wasted is extremely disheartening for the seven students of the Summoning Department.
Hearing Jiang Yunming say this, Zheng Bingxiao said anxiously, "Teacher, why don't you go and talk to Dean Xiao and ask him to give us another chance? Without the cultivation resources allocated by the academy, I'm afraid very few of us can enter the intermediate stage."
"There's no room for leniency. These are the rules set by the academy. If you want resources, you'll have to fight for them yourselves. It seems Mo Fan's summoned beast hasn't recovered yet. In that case, let's all prepare to go back. That concludes today's orientation competition. Although your entire team was wiped out because of the mid-level mage, I'm not entirely satisfied with your performance. The Beast Refining Blood will go to Zheng Bingxiao, who performed better." Jiang Yunming shook his head and said.
Mo Fan sensed that Jiang Yunming had misunderstood something, so he quickly explained, "Well, teacher, my summoned beast has recovered and is perfectly ready to fight."
"Oh? Then you can go on stage later. If you perform well, I can give you the second bottle of Beast Refining Blood." Jiang Yunming said indifferently. In fact, Jiang Yunming had given up after Wang Liting and the other two were eliminated. He didn't have any expectations for Mo Fan. Anyway, it was already like this. Losing didn't matter, and winning would be even better.
In the arena, Jiang Han said calmly, "Hey, any brothers from the Qing Campus who want to challenge me? I'm a severely weakened BOSS now, practically on my last breath. Aren't you all tempted by such generous rewards?"
A few went up, a few were carried down. I think you just want to get the thrill of torturing people from us. You call that being severely injured, with just a tiny bit of blood? I bet it's a tiny bit of blood. Anyone who goes up to you is doomed.
Many people in the Qing campus were angry but dared not speak out against Jiang Han's words. Although his words were provocative, they really didn't dare to go up to him anymore.
Seeing that no one in the audience from any of the colleges wanted to come down and challenge, Jiang Han said with a grin, "Dean Xiao, it seems that not many people from the Qing Campus are challenging me. Next up should be the seniors from the main campus. Can I take a break during the intermission?"
"Okay, you can have two hours to rest." Dean Xiao's aged voice came from the leadership seat.
"I have another question. Since the reward for challenging me is so great, if I also eliminate the people from the main campus, wouldn't my reward be enough to train in the Three-Step Tower for ten days to half a month?"
"Junior, what are you thinking? Do you know that the Three-Step Tower consumes a lot of resources every time it's opened? You really dare to dream of cultivating in the Three-Step Tower for ten days or half a month? And you've got quite the nerve to think you can eliminate us all." A senior student from the main campus spoke up coldly.
"You'll find out soon enough whether I can eliminate you or not," Jiang Han retorted coldly.
"Sure, if you can eliminate them all, I'll let you train in the Three-Step Tower for ten days." Dean Xiao's voice came again. This time, he arranged for students from the main campus to come here to test Jiang Han's strength.
"Haha, thank you very much, Dean Xiao." Jiang Han immediately smiled.
After Jiang Han carried Xue Ling, who had transformed back into a cute and innocent fox, down from the arena, he saw Mo Fan preparing to go on stage. He simply smiled and greeted him without saying anything more. Jiang Han knew what Mo Fan was going to do, so he just smiled and greeted him.
As Mo Fan stepped into the arena, his consciousness began to communicate with the Ghost Wolf Beast in the dimensional space.
"Zheng Bingxiao took down 25 people, Hai Dafu took down 15, and Wang Liting only took down seven. Zheng Bingxiao was the best among them. We need to be even better than him, otherwise Jiang Han will laugh at us." Mo Fan said to the Ghost Wolf Beast through his consciousness.
"Awoo~~" The Ghost Wolf Beast raised its head and howled in the dimensional space, as if responding to Mo Fan's words.
P.S.: I'd like to address the issue of Luo Song here. In the original story, he went to the Earth Academy, but I've changed it to the Ice Academy. I hope you understand, thank you.
