Great General! Instantly Tearing the Netherclaw Wolf Apart

Great General! Instantly Tearing the Netherclaw Wolf Apart

"Teacher Gu Han, who is this student?"

Lu Yiming, the teacher leading the Imperial Capital Academy team, narrowed his eyes as he asked.

Just as Teacher Gu Han was about to explain, Li Xingze stepped forward and said, "He's just a small-time substitute student."

The answer stunned Gu Han for a moment. He hadn't expected Li Xingze to introduce himself that way.

But then he thought about it. Wouldn't it feel even better if Li Xingze crushed the Imperial Capital Academy while posing as a substitute?

Thus, Gu Han nodded with complete conviction.

"So he's only a substitute. Teacher Gu, even if your Pearl Institute has no hope, there's no need to send out a substitute."

Lu Yiming smiled amiably, but the mocking undertone in his words clashed horribly with his expression.

Gu Han naturally understood what he meant, but he was holding himself back with all his might. Once this fellow saw Li Xingze's strength, he naturally wouldn't be able to keep smiling.

After Li Xingze returned to the team, Teacher Gu Han said, "Now that Li Xingze has arrived, he naturally needs to participate in the next match. As for the remaining three..."

Teacher Gu Han looked at Li Xingze, apparently intending to let him decide.

Li Xingze didn't hold back. After sweeping his gaze over the eager crowd, he said directly, "Then let it be Mu Nujiao, Song Xia, and Bai Tingting."

"Awesome!" Zhao Manyan gave him a thumbs-up. Ze Ge really knew how to play it—he'd picked three girls.

Shen Mingxiao, who had originally thought he would be chosen, immediately looked displeased. He had assumed that Li Xingze would choose him, the stronger fighter, for the sake of victory.

He hadn't expected this fellow to be so arrogant, actually choosing three girls.

Hmph. Just wait until he makes a fool of himself!

Teacher Gu Han was also stunned. He hadn't expected Li Xingze to make this choice either, but considering Li Xingze's strength, he said nothing.

On the Imperial Capital Academy's side, Lu Yiming smiled and called out four names:

"Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, Xiao Jinhe, and Xiao Feng. You four go. The Pearl Institute is about to give up. The four of you are more than enough."

Lu Zhenghe looked disdainful. Against his Contract Beast, a mere substitute would probably have trouble even standing upright.

"Teacher, let me participate."

At that moment, a voice as clear and pleasant as an icy crystal bell rang out from beneath the sunshade.

Everyone's gaze immediately turned toward the girl beneath the sunshade.

When she stood up, an inexplicable chill coiled around her body and slowly spread in every direction.

The faint icy mist accentuated her graceful figure. Snow-white, goose-feather-lined boots wrapped around her delicate, alluring calves, while her long leather coat half-concealed her straight, slender legs.

The snow-white coat seemed custom-tailored. Even draped over her body, it outlined her astonishing curves.

Her figure was already exceptionally striking. Even more irresistible was her exquisite face, with features so perfect that she seemed to have stepped straight out of a painting.

Her long silver-white hair was dazzling beneath the blazing sun, complementing her snow-white, icy skin.

She resembled a snow fairy who had walked out of a painting.

Li Xingze rubbed his nose. If I go too hard, does that count as domestic violence?

"You three don't need to do anything later. I can handle it alone," Li Xingze told the three girls.

Mu Nujiao and Bai Tingting had no objections, but the hot-tempered Song Xia questioned him, "Even if you're very strong, do you really intend to take on the entire Imperial Capital Academy by yourself?"

"Uh, I'm just worried about accidentally hurting you," Li Xingze said with a shrug. "If you get mixed up with them, you'll only restrict my attacks."

Song Xia was rendered speechless. Li Xingze's strength during the Beast Arena Competition was still vivid in her mind, and for a moment, she truly couldn't find anything to refute.

On the arena.

"Ice Spread!"

Mu Ningxue lightly pressed her lips together, and the Ice Star Path was completed in an instant.

Frost danced through the air, and crystalline particles filled the entire battlefield. The cold swept away all the air in the area.

Unlike the Ice Spread cast by other Ice Mages, the Intermediate Magic Mu Ningxue used covered a much wider area and had a far stronger freezing effect. It had even begun to take on the rudiments of a domain.

Even Gu Han, Qiu Yuhua, and Li Jing, the three teachers leading the teams, wore shocked expressions.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Mu Nujiao reminded Li Xingze when she saw that he still hadn't moved.

Li Xingze breathed into his hands. Without Ice Element or Fire Element abilities, the temperature still affected him quite a bit.

Fortunately, the Silver Scale Armor offered some protection against low temperatures. Otherwise, this icy domain would truly have been troublesome.

"Were you scared stupid? Perfect. My Contract Beast can deal with all of you."

Seeing that the four members of the Pearl Institute remained motionless, Lu Zhenghe assumed they had already given up. This only intensified his desire to show off before Mu Ningxue.

If he could wipe out all four members of the Pearl Institute by himself, perhaps he could make Mu Ningxue look at him differently.

"Contract Summoning—Netherclaw Wolf!"

With no one disturbing him, Lu Zhenghe drew the Star Map with ease. A fierce, imposing wolf-like creature slowly emerged from the hollow center of the Star Map, its aura violent and its appearance ferocious.

"General-Level!"

Song Xia, who had originally placed her hopes on Li Xingze, could no longer hold back. She was just about to cast Intermediate Magic when Mu Ningxue's domain interrupted her.

Mu Nujiao and Bai Tingting remained completely calm. They had absolute faith in Li Xingze's strength.

"What's wrong? Did my Netherclaw Wolf scare you stupid?"

Seeing the four people's reactions, Lu Zhenghe grew even more pleased with himself. Before his General-Level Contract Beast, it didn't matter whether they were Intermediate-Level Mages or not—they would all have to crawl.

"A little wolf dares to show off in front of me?"

With a thought, Li Xingze formed a Star Path and directly summoned the Goldflame Dragon Lion, which had already spent some time advancing toward the Great General level.

When Lu Zhenghe saw Li Xingze use a Dimensional Summon, he was about to mock him, but in the next second, he was completely terrified.

The Goldflame Dragon Lion stood proudly atop the ice, its imposing, domineering form radiating awe-inspiring might. Its arrogant gaze seemed capable of crushing everything, while its body, more than a meter taller than the Netherclaw Wolf, delivered an overwhelming visual impact.

"Great General! And it seems to possess a considerable Dragon Bloodline." Lu Yiming, the teacher leading the Imperial Capital Academy team, was also dumbfounded.

The Netherclaw Wolf, which had been prepared to dominate the battlefield, immediately fled like a little dog the moment it saw the Goldflame Dragon Lion appear.

"Tear it apart, Xiao Jin!"

"Roar, roar!!"

The Goldflame Dragon Lion grew even more excited when it saw the Netherclaw Wolf run. As if it had spotted a toy, it pounced straight at it.

In just two or three blows, it reduced the Netherclaw Wolf to a bloody mess. Blood spread across the ice in ever greater amounts. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the wolf breathed its last.

"Netherclaw Wolf, come back!"

Seeing the Netherclaw Wolf's miserable condition, Lu Zhenghe immediately panicked. This Contract Beast had been achieved through a huge expenditure of money and countless hours of painstaking effort.

If the Netherclaw Wolf was killed, he would be no different from a cripple. He probably wouldn't even be able to remain at the Imperial Capital Academy.
