The Cat Teacher stared at Milluki with an imposing air, and the other boy shrank back, indicating that he didn't mean to provoke the Cat Teacher.

Ian rubbed his forehead slightly; his guess was indeed correct.

It seems I'm being blamed for the owner of the [Gate of Glory] item.

"Although you, Cat Teacher, are pitiful, that's no excuse for attacking me!"

Ian looked at the other person and sneered.

"Snort!"

Cat Teacher stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of profound mystery.

"That was just instruction. If I were to truly attack you, even if you rely on those strange gadgets, you won't be able to stop me!"

Ian didn't believe the big tabby cat's lies.

His [Defense Shield], amplified by the power of the "Seat of Light," is quite powerful; it can withstand a nuclear bomb, if not.

But dealing with this tabby cat shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Seriously... I've really been here for this long.

This cat must be very strong.

Thinking of this, Ian temporarily put aside his intention to retaliate, narrowed his eyes, and asked carefully.

"Cat Teacher, you've been here for so long, but I don't feel like you're that strong."

"In twenty thousand years, even a cat could cultivate into Cat Demon Ancestor..."

"And you, you're still just a tabby cat!"

Upon hearing Ian's words, Cat Teacher's face stiffened.

The cat's face clearly showed changes in human emotions.

First he turned pale, then flushed red, and then he roared with immense anger.

"Why do you think I hate you so much!"

Ian picked at his ear, rolled his eyes, and said with an expression that said, "It's none of my business."

"Hey, I've already said it before, I'm not the one who made the props, nor am I the one who locked you up here. Don't make false accusations."

The Cat Teacher was trembling with anger. He held up his paw, examining it with a resentful look, and his voice trembled with rage.

"In your wretched space, all my arduous cultivation has been utterly useless!"

"My strength has not improved, and... even my cultivation level has remained stagnant."

"And so I am trapped in this frozen time."

"Every day, aside from dealing with the rules here and having idiotic conversations with those morons, there's absolutely no other meaning to it!"

At this point, it seemed it hadn't been this angry in a long time; it was getting tired of talking.

Habitually, subconsciously, the cat raised its paw.

Then, an Iron-scaled Fish suddenly shot out from somewhere in the arena and landed right between its two cat paws.

Then, as if it were inhaling catnip, it brought its mouth close, looking completely blissful.

Sudden!

It stared wide-eyed at Ian and the others who were curiously watching its skillful movements, its expression somewhat stiff.

"Whoosh!"

It tucked the Iron-scaled Fish under its rear end, covered its tail, and regained its menacing appearance.

However, this self-deceptive behavior was difficult to convince the people present.

Ian narrowed his eyes, his face full of disdain.

I thought it was something else...

It turns out it was just a gluttonous cat...

"Knowing you like fish, Cat Master, I brought you one especially today."

A thought flashed through Ian's mind, and he immediately spoke.

"How could I possibly indulge in gluttony? I was merely cultivating."

"As you can see, I'm constantly cultivating in this Cultivation Space, but... it's all in vain!"

"This Training Ground is only effective for outsiders like you."

"And I, an old man, have wasted my time, yet I can hardly move an inch. Tell me, how heartbroken must I be for someone as passionate about Martial Arts as me!"

Cat Master said with a look of hatred, but Ian ignored him and continued talking to himself.

"These are fresh fish, and they're from the Dark Continent. Oh, Cat Master, you don't know about the Dark Continent, do you? Let me put it this way: the fish there are at least ten times bigger than ordinary fish. I just happened to catch a few. As the saying goes, fish ten times bigger are a hundred times fresher. It's a pity, Cat Master probably won't be interested."

"Let me tell you, I was already this strong when I first came here."

"So many years have passed, yet my strength remains unchanged!"

Tell me, how will you make it up to this old man?

The Cat Teacher looked pained, scolding the cat, but it seemed as if drool was dripping from the corner of her mouth onto the ground.

"Cat Teacher seems to be drooling..." Milluki whispered to Eluna, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

The Cat Teacher's ears twitched, and he quickly raised his furry paw to wipe his mouth, continuing to speak angrily.

"Twenty thousand years!"

"I am but an old cat, and all I have gained from this arduous cultivation is nothing!"

"Whose fault is this? Is it my fault? Is it because I don't want to get out? It's you, this prop, that's trapping me."

"I taught you, and now it's become my fault..."

Cat Teacher continued her incessant chatter.

Ian, meanwhile, rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a pink refrigerator. Ignoring the other person's instructions, he opened the refrigerator door as if it were a garbled chant, and muttered to himself.

"Let me look... this isn't it, this isn't it either... hey, this one's right!"

Then, he reached into the [Miniature World Refrigerator] and grabbed it forcefully.

The next moment.

In the arena, a nearly 15-meter-long Bluefin Tuna swung its tail and crashed onto the field.

It kept jumping and rolling, its muscles strong and full of vitality!

Still covered in water, each jump splashed water onto the surrounding area.

And at the moment it appeared.

Cat Teacher stopped talking, staring blankly at the fish of her dreams before her.

Saliva was gushing down from the corner of his mouth.

Each lively jump of the other made it tremble, and it stammered.

"Well... well, although Martial Arts training is said to prohibit gluttony, in certain situations, indulging one's desires can also be a form of training... Yes, moderation is the true meaning of training!"

"Furthermore, since you've brought me a gift, let's call it even."

As soon as the words were spoken, it could no longer bear it.

"Whoosh!"

Before anyone could react, they saw that Cat Teacher had already climbed onto the Bluefin Tuna's body with all four paws.

With its four claws like hooks, it dug deep into the other's body, its entire fluffy face pressed against the other's, an expression of bliss and ecstasy on its face.

"Nyan... Cat Teacher!"

Nobunaga's expression froze; he couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Cat Teacher's "degenerate" state!

The other person... completely abandoned the image of a strict teacher in my mind!

"As expected, no matter what, Ian always manages to come up with a solution."

At this moment, Uvogin uttered a rare, philosophical remark.

"Hey, Illumi- nii, I told you before, cats love to eat fish, but you always said cats eat mice. Now you admit defeat!"

Milluki whispered something to Illumi, whose expression stiffened. Then, Illumi punched him hard, Milluki's face turned pale as he clutched his head.

"Looks like Cat Teacher really is a cat after all..."

Seeing the other person's blissful state, Ian breathed a sigh of relief, hoping they wouldn't actually turn into a monster.
