Beast Fighting Competition (Part Two)

The fight ended quickly, but the uproar in the stands showed no sign of dying down.

The Bone Gnawing Demon that students from every element had failed to handle had been tossed aside like trash by Luo Song.

Intermediate Magic was every bit as powerful as they said!

"You two, come at me together. Let's not waste time." Luo Song pointed straight at the remaining Summoning System students, looking as though he could take on the world.

Watching Luo Song dominate the arena, Ai Tutu suddenly complained, "What's the fun in this? An Intermediate Mage fighting Beginner Mages is unfair enough, and now he's taking on three at once. I wanted to watch the Demon Beasts and mages outsmart each other for a while longer."

"Exactly." Zhou Sining agreed wholeheartedly.

Different summoners called forth different Summoned Beasts, and each beast demanded a different team composition and strategy.

Those strategies were worth learning from, and he hadn't seen nearly enough.

Now that fat pig Luo Song had stepped in and taken down three of the Summoning System's best fighters, there was nothing left for a spectator to enjoy.

Zhou Sining only wished he were a Summoning System freshman. He would have gone up there and settled both old and new scores.

"He's leaving the arena. At least he knew when to stop. He left one for the others," Mu Nujiao said.

As far as she could tell, Luo Song had only wanted to show off at the freshman assembly and had quit while he was ahead.

But Zhou Sining knew that fat pig would never face Mo Fan.

"If your friend wants to fight, he'd better hurry. There's only one Summoning System student left," Mu Nujiao said, looking at Zhou Sining.

She was curious.

Zhou Sining was so strong. Surely his friend wouldn't be weak.

Yet so far, Mu Nujiao hadn't seen anyone who seemed to match him.

"Don't worry. There's no chance he'll miss this."

"Why?"

"Because he's right there."

Following his gaze, Mu Nujiao focused on the last Summoning System freshman in the arena.

Like Zhou Sining, the young man looked utterly ordinary at first glance, nothing like a formidable mage.

"Is he from Bo City too?" Mu Nujiao asked.

"Yes. And his family is poor—poorer than most people here," Zhou Sining said.

He said it to plant an idea in Mu Nujiao's mind.

When Mo Fan showed his strength, the fact that he was Zhou Sining's friend and came from a poor family might keep her from entering the arena.

Zhou Sining could have used a psychic suggestion on Mu Nujiao instead, but there was no need. Besides, he found the idea contemptible.

If he needed psychic suggestions just to win someone over, he would be pretty pathetic.

Mu Nujiao nodded and said nothing more. She settled in to watch Mo Fan's performance.

As Zhou Sining's friend, Mo Fan was probably an Intermediate Mage too. With his Summoned Beast beside him, the rest of the Beast Fighting Competition was bound to be exciting.

Sure enough, Mo Fan skillfully traced a star path in the arena.

A silver star path appeared before him and became a rift in space—a bridge to another dimension that called a creature from an unknown plane to his side!

A fierce-looking, dark-blue head emerged from the Dimensional Rift.

Then a powerful, muscular body stepped through. Its sleek fur streamed in the turbulent currents of space, and as a wild beast's presence spread through the arena, the Ghost Wolf Beast instantly became the center of attention!

"It's a Ghost Wolf Beast!"

"It looks magnificent! Compared with that little Ghost Wolf Beast earlier, it's like a completely different creature!"

"It doesn't look easy to deal with. Who would've thought the last Summoning System student would have a full-grown Ghost Wolf Beast like that? I wonder if Li Junwei's team can handle it."

"That aura... Is it at the Advanced Stage?" Mu Nujiao asked in surprise.

"Yes. It's at the Advanced Stage," Zhou Sining confirmed.

"Then they've had terrible luck," Mu Nujiao said, feeling sorry for the five-person team in the arena.

The five clearly knew how to work together. As they faced Mo Fan's Ghost Wolf Beast, they quickly took up a rough formation.

Wind at the front, Water at the back, Lightning and Fire on the flanks, and Earth in the center.

For a five-person team, Wind, Water, Lightning, Fire, and Earth made a well-balanced combination. Pearl Academy had plenty of Lightning Element students, so assembling a Five-Element Formation wasn't too difficult.

Li Junwei's team had obviously come prepared. Unfortunately, they had run into Mo Fan.

And the old wolf, who stole the show the moment he appeared.

Zhou Sining was thoroughly engrossed. He watched the five people and the wolf closely, determined not to miss a single detail.

What happened next was just as Mu Nujiao expected. Li Junwei and his teammates worked together flawlessly.

But an Advanced Stage Ghost Wolf Beast was beyond what Beginner Mages could withstand. The moment it unleashed Three-Stage Burst, it not only took out the five-person team with ease but also sent the entire arena into an uproar!

"An Advanced Stage Ghost Wolf Beast!"

"Oh my god! That thing's one step away from Warrior Level. How are we supposed to fight it?"

"And here I was thinking of going up there just to get noticed..."

"No. I'm not backing down. I want to test myself."

"Don't be reckless, man. We wouldn't last three minutes up there."

Pearl Academy was full of talent. The teams its students formed might have no trouble dealing with an ordinary Demon Beast.

But against an Advanced Stage creature, they were like children. It could break their formation and hunt them down with ease!

For a while, quite a few students abandoned their plans to show off and obediently returned to their seats.

Even so, plenty still lingered by the entrance, eager to display the strength that had set them apart from applicants across the country.

"Dean Xiao, I have a question." Seeing another group of challengers gathered at the entrance, Mo Fan took the opportunity to call out.

"Here it comes! The iconic moment!" Zhou Sining sprang to his feet in excitement.

Mu Nujiao: "???"

Ai Tutu: "?? Sister Mu, has he lost his mind?"

Zhou Sining had no time to worry about what the two women thought. His eyes were fixed on Mo Fan at the center of the arena.

Mo Fan called out, "If we don't meet the hundred-person requirement, this semester's resources go to the other systems. Isn't that unfair to the Summoning System? If we lose, our resources go to someone else. If we win, all we do is keep what was already ours."

"An excellent question, Mo Fan. We did consider that. Beyond the hundred-person requirement, there's another threshold. If the Summoning System students can withstand the magical assaults of two hundred challengers in succession, then all the training resources for every department this year will go to the Summoning System!" Dean Xiao answered just as loudly.

The enormous arena erupted.

Mu Nujiao was stunned by Dean Xiao's words. "The resources for more than five thousand freshmen across a dozen or so systems, all concentrated on seven people? That's staggering."

"I don't think even my brother has ever had that many resources at once," Ai Tutu said with an emphatic nod.

Her brother, Ai Jiangtu, was the undisputed number one among his peers, a Military Mage being groomed as his family's certain successor. Even he would have a hard time receiving that many resources in one go.

"Well, that answers your question. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" Dean Xiao said.

"No more questions," Mo Fan replied.

A moment ago, he had been composed and guarded. Now a smile slowly spread across his face. "But I do have something to say to everyone here from the other systems."

What did he want to say?

"I burn through more resources than the average mage, so I'm sorry..." Mo Fan cupped his fists in apology.

"Here it comes!" Zhou Sining could barely contain his excitement.

That iconic moment was almost here!

Even Mu Nujiao sat up straight. She had a feeling Zhou Sining's Summoning System friend was about to make a bold move.

"What's he going to do? Challenge the whole school?" Ai Tutu laughed at her own suggestion.

That couldn't happen. Could it?

The next moment, Mo Fan raised his head, his expression brazen beyond belief.

"I'm taking all your resources!"
