If I'm First, There'll Be No Chance for You to Play

"Mages and Demonic Beasts are different, and the Beast Taming Competition is a collaboration among mages. It's four mages per team. Otherwise, who could possibly beat your Summoning Element in a one-on-one fight?" Mu Nujiao said softly, afraid Mo Fan would underestimate the competition.

"So what?"

Mo Fan's expression was completely indifferent.

"Hee hee hee!" Ai Tutu made a cute pig snort and said, "Mo Fan, don't you know the value of Pearl Institute? You should know that everyone who gets in is a mage who shone brightly and stood out in the Magic College Entrance Exam."

"Alright, alright, I get it. You're so annoying," Mo Fan said to Ai Tutu.

"What? You actually think I'm annoying?" Ai Tutu was shocked and utterly confused. She was a beauty, after all. What was wrong with this guy?

"Brother Mo Fan, I'm here."

Zhao Manyan strode into the late-night cafeteria with light steps, then saw Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu next to Mo Fan and was instantly dumbfounded.

Wait a minute, let me process this. You're eating with a simp, and now the people eating with you are Mu Nujiao, one of the Twin Pearls of Mu, and Ai Tutu, the eldest daughter of the Ai family!!

This means Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu are acting as your simps??

Zhao Manyan was completely stunned. Brother Mo Fan, what exactly is your identity to have two noble ladies from influential families acting as your simps!

"Zhao, what are you doing here?"

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu turned to see Zhao Manyan, their eyes immediately filled with disgust. They knew Zhao Manyan had a bad reputation in their circles, changing girlfriends more often than he used condoms.

"Do I need to report to you what I'm doing? I'm here to see my Brother Mo Fan," Zhao Manyan said, not familiar with them and seeing no need to be polite.

"Mo Fan, don't be fooled by his appearance. He's not a good person. You should hang out with him less in the future," Ai Tutu turned and said to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan shrugged, indicating, He's my roommate!

The Welcoming Day was bound to arrive. Mo Fan had indeed considered strengthening the Little Golden Ape, as he couldn't favor one over the other.

However, Mo Fan currently only had General-level Spirit Essence. Using General-level Spirit Essence to strengthen bone, blood, and soul would be an insult; only strength and spirit could be enhanced.

After fiddling with the Celestial Spirit Codex for so long, Mo Fan had a general understanding of what strength and spirit meant.

Strength represented demonic magic. Most Demonic Beasts' demonic magic was innate, stemming from their bloodline; they essentially didn't create their own magic, including Monarch-level creatures.

Only Demonic Beasts above the Emperor Ruler level had a thought process similar to humans.

Thought process wasn't the same as intelligence. If it were about intelligence, Commander-level Demonic Beasts would have the same intelligence as ordinary people.

Thought process referred to Emperor Rulers starting to think like humans, such as "What should I do today?", "How can I do this more efficiently?", "What's the use of doing this?"

Simply put, it meant Demonic Beast Emperor Rulers began to understand the concept of "meaning."

Spirit, on the other hand, was more profound. It was something only Monarch-level Demonic Beasts encountered, a more abstract concept.

In simple terms, the Spirit of the Giant God Apollo Titan was the Spirit of the Sun. Its appearance was like a blazing sun, erupting with scorching flames and golden radiance.

The Spirit of the ancient totem, the Three-legged Golden Crow, was the Spirit of the Great Sun. Legend had it that it was born in the sun and controlled the most fundamental flames.

This was spirit – something not generalized or systematic.

So, after much consideration, Mo Fan only added one demonic magic to the Little Golden Ape: the unique demonic magic of the General-level Demonic Beast Ruyi Walker, the [Ruyi Ring].

On this day, the most discussed topic was naturally the Beast Taming Competition starting in the afternoon. Mo Fan went ahead, solely to leave a good impression on Dean Xiao and, incidentally, to listen to Dean Xiao's speech.

Then, recalling his past life, he had lived up to Dean Xiao's expectations, always on the front lines protecting people and forever pursuing the path of magic.

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, Mo Fan and a few others went on stage. The other six were from the same dormitory, so their close-knit grouping was obvious.

"Who will go first?" Dean Xiao asked with a gentle smile.

"I'll go first. The sooner it's over, the sooner we can get off," Mo Fan said humbly.

As expected, his words, which boosted others' morale while diminishing his own, drew disdain from the others. What a piece of trash. Fortunately, I'm still here for the Summoning Element!

Mo Fan strode onto the stage with steady steps. Seeing the long line of people waiting below, he couldn't help but smile and say, "You guys should hurry up. I'm very easy to deal with, first come, first served."

Unlike the defiant, proud, and arrogant expressions on others' faces, Mo Fan's humility was a breath of fresh air!

Hearing Mo Fan's words, the people below couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or sincere, and they scrambled even more fiercely.

Mo Fan smiled slyly. He had lost some of his sharpness now, after all, he had children in his previous life. But he had also gained a bit of mischievousness.

How would these little guys' minds break when they fought tooth and nail to challenge me, only to find out they're challenging the Little Golden Ape after coming up?

Finally, after about five or six minutes, four male students climbed onto the stage.

[Dimensional Summon]

Mo Fan didn't start with a taunt. Instead, he directly summoned the Little Golden Ape. The nearly five-meter-tall Little Golden Ape stood beside Mo Fan, more terrifying and imposing than an upright polar bear!

"Holy crap!!"

The first group of mages, who had painstakingly fought their way up, were stunned. They then looked at Mo Fan, Is this what you called easy to deal with?

Didn't that guy selling information say this person's summoned beast was a very ordinary monkey Demonic Beast? Look at this, how is this ordinary?

The Little Golden Ape's eyes were calm, occasionally flashing with a spiritual light indistinguishable from a human's. It stood silently beside Mo Fan like a dark mountain.

The spectators in the audience were also dumbfounded. Although they didn't know what kind of Demonic Beast the Little Golden Ape was, it didn't stop them from realizing it wasn't to be trifled with.

"Everyone, what are you waiting for? Prepare your magic," Mo Fan said with a smile, simultaneously signaling the Little Golden Ape. As long as one person made a move, it could act.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's just a summoned beast. As long as we cooperate properly, we can definitely deal with it."

"Lightning Seal · Furious Strike!!"

The boy with short blue hair who took the stage first immediately connected his star track, seemingly wanting to prove that the Little Golden Ape was nothing to be afraid of.

However, as soon as the lightning whip touched the Little Golden Ape, a golden barrier lit up on its skin, with a trace of runes appearing on it.

Since they had already made a move, it meant the Little Golden Ape could also make a move.

Without using any flashy demonic arts, the Little Golden Ape moved like a hurricane and struck like thunder, appearing before the four individuals in an instant.

It slapped all of them away with one palm each, its main strategy being to break all laws with strength, to conquer all skills with brute force!!

The Water Shield couldn't block it, and the Wind Track couldn't escape it. The Little Golden Ape was like a great demon king, impervious to any magic.

"Damn it, this old schemer! How is this thing supposed to be dealt with??"

Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao were also in the audience seats.

"Sister Mu, wasn't Mo Fan's summoned beast a big white wolf? How did it turn into a monkey?"

"I don't know, this must be his secret."
