"What kind of beast-taming race is this?"

Looking at the three-legged creature standing next to Cheng Li, Cui Peng couldn't help but ask.

He had never seen a beast that looked like this before, let alone knew its innate attributes or even the types of skills.

Qiao Xingxing, standing next to her, was equally confused. She stared at it for a long time before she suddenly realized what was going on.

"This...could it be a strange beast?!"

“Strange beast?” Cui Peng repeated, but the name still seemed very unfamiliar. “What exactly is it?”

Qiao Xingxing patiently explained, "The Strange Beast is a very rare, ultra-high-level beast. It is said that its potential and bloodline level can reach the level of a phantom god or above when it is still a cub. Its success rate in surviving the Nirvana Tribulation is extremely high. However, I have only read about Strange Beasts in ancient books. This is the first time I have seen one in person."

This is why she didn't recognize the alien beast immediately.

There was no other way; after all, exotic beasts were extremely rare. There were probably no more than a handful of beast tamers in the entire capital who possessed exotic beasts.

No wonder Cheng Li was able to become a Heavenly Evolution Rank 8 Beast Tamer as a second-year student. With the extraordinary potential and bloodline level of the strange beasts, even an ordinary person could cultivate them to the Heavenly Evolution Rank.

This is enough to show just how powerful the Strange Beasts are.

"Not only that, the talent levels of the strange beasts are generally very high, with the lowest being the Supreme level," Qiao Xingxing added solemnly.

When battles occur between beast tamers, talent level also plays a crucial role.

For example.

If two beasts are both fire-attribute, the beast with the precious talent will inevitably suppress the beast with the rare talent. Unless the level difference between the two is too great, the suppressive power of talent level has never occurred without exception.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xingxing's expression became somewhat solemn.

Her Silver Moon Wolf talent level is only Rare, which means that the exotic beast's talent level is higher than that of the Silver Moon Wolf.

Not only that.

Cheng Li's beast-taming level is one level higher than hers.

As for Cui Peng, needless to say, he's not even as good as her, let alone able to fight against Cheng Li.

Therefore, the current situation is very unfavorable for them.

Even so, Qiao Xingxing did not choose to give up directly.

“Cui Peng, the two of us…”

"boom--!"

Before Qiao Xingxing could finish speaking, the strange beast suddenly launched an attack, its snake tail sweeping across and sending the Dark Night Leopard flying.

!!

Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng were both startled.

Cheng Li stood opposite them and spoke calmly.

"We're still in the middle of a team battle. You guys don't think I'm stupid enough to give you time to discuss a plan, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Li gave another order to the strange beast.

"Strange Beast, use the Jupiter Energy Cannon!"

boom!

In an instant, light shone everywhere.

The green energy cannon, belonging to the wood element, spread out, piercing through the entire arena and shooting directly at Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing, as well as the Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf beside them.

Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng instinctively dodged to the side, and the Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf reacted very quickly as well, but the strange beast's attack was too fierce, and they couldn't dodge in time. They could only watch helplessly as the energy cannon came hurtling towards them.

At this critical moment.

Lu Yuan, who had been standing silently at the edge of the arena, suddenly stepped forward.

"Red Phosphorus, use Incineroar!"

Whoosh!

A burst of scorching flame shot out and collided violently with the Woody Energy Cannon.

boom--!!!

A loud bang was heard, and the entire arena trembled slightly as the two skills collided.

"Lu Yuan?!"

Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng turned around at the same time and saw Lu Yuan slowly walking towards them in the firelight.

"You two can rest for now. I'll take care of the rest."

"this……"

Qiao Xingxing looked somewhat hesitant.

Although Lu Yuan's strength was extraordinary, unlike other newcomers who had just entered the Heavenly Evolution level, Cheng Li and his strange beasts were not easy to deal with either.

Even if Lu Yuan defeats Qin Zhen, who is at the seventh level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, Cheng Li's strength is not on the same level as Qin Zhen's at all. Lu Yuan alone probably wouldn't be able to deal with Cheng Li.

It wasn't just Qiao Xingxing who thought so; even the principals and teachers from various colleges sitting in the school's representative seats thought the same way.

"Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng have almost exhausted their spiritual energy. Now only Lu Yuan is in good condition and can fight Cheng Li at his peak. However, Cheng Li's beast taming level has reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Evolution, which is even higher than Qiao Xingxing's. Lu Yuan's beast taming level is only the first level of the Heavenly Evolution. This match is probably a foregone conclusion."

The principal of Tiannan College spoke with a smile.

Zhang Tiannan was his own son, but he was beaten black and blue by Lu Yuan in the individual battle and had no chance to fight back, which made him lose face. Now that he finally found an opportunity to mock Longteng Academy, he naturally had to say a lot.

But what he said was indeed true.

Even if they are willing to admit that Lu Yuan has some strength, his beast-taming level is still too low. Now, when facing Cheng Li's strange beasts, he will definitely be at a disadvantage.

"It seems that Ruifeng Academy will take the top spot in this year's inter-school exams!"

"Yes, yes! Congratulations in advance to Principals Zhu!"

Hearing the compliments from those around him, Zhu Xiucheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth with pride and look at Lu En meaningfully.

"Principal Lu, it seems like our Ruifeng Academy is going to win this match. I hope you won't forget the bet we made before!"

Zhu Xiucheng's eyes gleamed with excitement.

He had even decided which secret realm within Dragon Academy he should explore.

But Rune didn't care at all.

"The competition has only just begun, isn't it a bit too early for everyone to draw conclusions now?"

"What?" Zhu Xiucheng asked subconsciously.

"The victory in this team battle will undoubtedly belong to our Dragon Academy," Rune replied without hesitation.

Sitting next to him, Xiao Tang also appeared very confident.

Lu Yuan was someone who could enter the endless sea of ​​fire in the Fire Forest Secret Realm, wander around inside, and come out unscathed.

It's important to know that the extreme heat of the Endless Sea of ​​Fire is terrifying. Even in Dragon Academy, very few teachers can withstand that heat, let alone ordinary students.

Not only that.

He still remembered what had happened in the arena the previous night.

Although he rushed over immediately after receiving Lu Yuan's message, even if he went at full speed, it would still take some time on the way.

Lu Yuan was able to withstand the attacks of the high-level Phantom God assassin until he arrived.

This is evident.

Lu Yuan's true strength is definitely much greater than what he has actually shown.

He's just an eighth-level student of the Heavenly Evolution Realm; compared to the murderous high-level assassin of the Illusion God Realm last night, he's not even worth mentioning.

However, the others present were completely unaware of these facts and had already judged from the difference in the levels between the two sides that Lu Yuan was bound to lose.

"Principal Lu can still be so stubborn at a time like this; I, Zhu, truly admire his ability in that regard," Zhu Xiucheng said sarcastically. "In that case, let's wait and see!"
