"Dean Dong, you do have flowers, but not flowers on your face. Here, congratulations to your Qingmu Beast Academy for winning first place in this freshman competition. This Beast Fragrance Flower is your reward."
The headmaster handed over a flower that looked ordinary, but all the monsters present, including Ah Ju, greedily inhaled the fragrance emanating from it.
"Stop kidding me, Dean. If our college could get first place, it must be because a bolt of lightning struck right on Tie Xiong's roof. I know you guys are all messing with me, right? Hey, I figured it out. I'm not falling for it anymore," Dong Ren suddenly said with an expression that said, "I understand now."
The Dean of the Dan Academy next to him was so angry that his hair stood on end. "Old Dong, it's like your roof got struck by lightning!"
The dean's hand, holding the Beast Fragrance Flower, awkwardly froze in mid-air. He thought to himself, "Damn it, how did I ever choose such a thing as the dean of the Beast Academy?"
In the end, it was only after the Dean of the Array Academy explained that Dong Rencai believed that his Beast Academy had indeed won the championship in this competition, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Hey, look at this, I told them friendship first, competition second, how did they still beat up the students from the Alchemy Academy like this? My friend, I'm sorry, the freshmen couldn't control themselves. But anyway, your Alchemy Academy can refine pills, so just refine some beauty pills and you'll be fine soon," Dong Ren said to Tie Xiong with a wink.
The Dean of the Dan Academy stormed off in anger. Dong Renxi, beaming, led Dongfang Mian and the others to receive praise from the entire academy from the Dean. Then, he swaggered off the competition field, showing off his prowess.
"You really can't let people get too big for their britches. Look at Old Dong, this roughneck is starting to act all high and mighty," the Dean of the Array Academy couldn't help but sigh, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Back home, Dong Ren, who was deeply puzzled by Aju's remarkable improvement in strength, took out the testing stone again to test it, but this time the result shocked him.
"This...this is a spirit beast!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the gate and closed the door of Qingmu Academy, leaving only Dongfang Mian, Yan Lin and Aju inside.
"Dongfang, you knew all along that this cat was a spirit beast? Did you really tame it in the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range? My goodness, you're so lucky! I've never even seen a single hair of a spirit beast in my entire life. So this is what spirit beasts look like!"
As Dong Ren spoke, he pondered whether he should go back and catch the cat that always came to his house to steal salted fish and test it as well.
"Yes, Dean, but Aju was injured before, so the testing stone might not have been able to detect its true strength," Dongfang Mian thought to herself. If you knew it was actually a divine beast, you would have been speechless.
"Dongfang, in the future, please don't call it a spirit beast to outsiders. Just say it's a high-level demon beast. After all, spirit beasts are extremely rare in the entire Vermilion Bird Academy and even the Vermilion Bird Continent. You should know that beast tamers only have a natural advantage in taming beasts, but that doesn't mean that only beast tamers can sign contracts with demon beasts," Dong Ren said meaningfully.
“I understand, Dean,” Dongfang Mian said.
"Well, you guys did a great job, you really made me proud. You didn't see the old man Tie Xiong's face, it looked like he ate two pounds of monster dung, it was so satisfying," Dong Ren suddenly remembered something and burst into laughter.
"The individual competition starts tomorrow. The top 100 freshmen are eligible to join the inner academy. With Aju's help, there shouldn't be any problem, but remember to keep a low profile," Dong Ren instructed.
He didn't give Yan Lin much advice. Even if he was lucky, he could pass the first test if he couldn't cultivate. Anyway, the Beast Academy wouldn't miss his job.
