Ge Yuankui did not expect the Dark Night Leopard to suddenly rush over. By the time the Dark Night Leopard reached him, it was too late to dodge, and he could only raise his hands in a defensive posture.
However, the power gap between humans and beast tamers is enormous.
Ge Yuankui didn't even have a chance to struggle before he was firmly bitten by the Dark Night Leopard.
"It's a success!"
Cui Peng's eyes lit up immediately, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
However, Qiao Xingxing and Lu Yuan, who were standing below the stage, still looked extremely solemn.
The next moment.
Cui Peng also noticed something strange.
No blood!
There were no screams!
Ge Yuankui didn't even struggle!
Although he controlled the Dark Night Leopard's strength so that it wouldn't actually kill Ge Yuankui, even so, Ge Yuankui couldn't possibly escape unscathed from the Dark Night Leopard's jaws.
But why is Ge Yuankui so quiet, as if he were a mannequin?
Just as he was confused, he suddenly heard Ge Yuankui's cold laughter from behind.
"What are you thinking? You think you can kill me?"
"What?!"
Cui Peng suddenly turned around, looking at Ge Yuankui standing behind him with disbelief.
How is this possible?!
Shouldn't Ge Yuankui still be being bitten by the Dark Night Cheetah?
Cui Peng subconsciously turned to look at the Dark Night Leopard, only to find that Ge Yuankui, who should have been in its mouth, had disappeared at some point!
"What on earth is going on?!"
Not only was Cui Peng, who was standing on the stage, very surprised, but even Qiao Xingxing, who was standing below the stage, was shocked.
She stood below the stage, watching Cui Peng and Ge Yuankui's every move the entire time.
So she saw it clearly.
Just as the Dark Night Leopard was about to bite Ge Yuankui, a wooden doll suddenly appeared in her hand. Then, as the Dark Night Leopard's attack landed, she could no longer see what happened next.
But she was certain.
The reason why Ge Yuankui was able to emerge unscathed from the attack of the Dark Night Leopard must be related to the wooden doll that suddenly appeared in his hand.
And beside her.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowing unconsciously.
He had seen that wooden doll in the Treasure City before, and its unique design and function left a lasting impression on him.
"That's a one-time use substitute."
"A substitute prop?!" Qiao Xingxing turned her head upon hearing this. "How could Ge Yuankui have something like that?"
Lu Yuan stared at the stage without answering.
He was actually quite puzzled by this.
Wooden dolls with the ability to act as substitutes are extremely valuable life-saving items, even if they are disposable. Their price is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they would not easily use them in places like joint school exams where life and death are not involved.
As for the possibility that Ge Yuankui wanted to win the top spot in the league exam for Ruifeng Academy and therefore didn't want to lose this arena match, that possibility is even lower than the sun rising in the west.
It's even more likely that Ge Yuankui didn't want to miss the opportunity to torture Cui Peng!
"Now is not the time to worry about props. The important thing is that the Dark Night Leopard's attack missed. Ge Yuankui must have already taken precautions against Cui Peng's plan. It will be more difficult for the next attack to succeed."
Just as Lu Yuan said.
Having just used a substitute item to ensure his safety, Ge Yuankui did not approach Cui Peng again. Instead, he quickly retreated to the back of the Ironback Rock Bear, clearly defending against a sudden attack from the Dark Night Cheetah.
Both sides were on guard against each other.
Just when everyone thought the situation would remain deadlocked, Cui Peng, who was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly took the initiative to attack, just like Ge Yuankui's fighting style, attacking with both himself and his beast at the same time.
Seeing the scene reversed, Ge Yuankui narrowed his eyes, which flashed with a dangerous light.
"Dare to provoke me in this way? You're asking for death!"
In Ge Yuankui's view, Cui Peng was clearly showing him that the roles had been reversed, indicating that he had gone from being the hunter to the hunted.
But in reality...
Cui Peng was merely using this to provoke Ge Yuankui.
Ke Ge Yuan Kui was already enraged by Cui Peng's actions and did not consider this possibility at all. He immediately glared and commanded the Ironback Rock Bear to meet him.
But he didn't know.
When he received the provocation and launched an attack, he had already fallen into Cui Peng's trap.
"Ha! It seems Cui Peng has won this arena battle."
Lu Yuan, who was watching from below the stage, suddenly chuckled.
"What?"
Qiao Xingxing looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Although Cui Peng has found a way to defeat Ge Yuankui, she believes that the outcome of this arena battle will take a long time to come.
But why was Lu Yuan so certain that Cui Peng would win?
Faced with Qiao Xingxing's question, Lu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything, only looking up at the match on the arena stage.
Seeing this, Qiao Xingxing also turned her head and focused her attention back on the stage.
As it turned out, Cui Peng leaped onto the Dark Night Leopard's back the moment Ge Yuankui launched his attack, dodging Ge Yuankui's attack with an extremely strange movement, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"Gone?!"
Ge Yuankui was shocked to find that the man and the beast had vanished into thin air before his eyes. He looked around warily.
The result was the next second.
Cui Peng, who had disappeared, suddenly reappeared behind Ge Yuankui and decisively plunged the dagger in his hand into his abdomen.
"Pfft!"
The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, and Ge Yuankui suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover the wound in his abdomen, but he still couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.
Cui Peng jumped off the Dark Night Leopard and looked coldly at Ge Yuankui.
"you……!"
Just as Ge Yuankui was about to speak, blood gushed from his mouth, preventing him from uttering a complete sentence. He could only stare intently at Cui Peng, and his blood-covered appearance was quite terrifying.
But Cui Peng was not afraid at all.
He stood ramrod straight, looking down at Ge Yuankui.
"You lost."
Cui Peng's voice rang out on the arena stage, instantly waking everyone from their reverie.
The referee immediately blew his whistle and announced the result.
"Dragon Academy wins the first match of the arena battle!"
Hearing the referee's verdict, Ge Yuankui, disregarding his severe injuries, struggled to continue fighting.
Upon seeing this.
The referee immediately issued a warning.
"The results of the competition are in. Representatives from Ruifeng Academy, please leave the venue immediately!"
Ke Ge Yuankui ignored all of this and stared intently at Cui Peng.
Just as the referee was about to call in the staff to maintain order in the examination room and forcibly take Ge Yuankui away, Qin Zhen, who was standing below the stage, suddenly spoke up.
"Ge Yuankui, you've lost."
Upon hearing this voice, Ge Yuankui, who had been exuding murderous intent, trembled instantly, his eyes widening in terror.
"Stop making a fool of yourself on stage, get off here right now!"
Ge Yuankui didn't even care about Cui Peng, and staggered off the stage while clutching his abdominal wound.
Blood flowed down his wound, leaving a long trail on the ground.
Neither Qin Zhen nor the other student representative had any intention of helping Ge Yuankui down.
In the end, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and called on other teachers nearby for help, and they took Ge Yuankui directly to the infirmary.
Immediately afterwards.
The second arena battle begins.
Since Cui Peng had not lost his fighting ability, he was chosen to participate in the second arena battle.
Meanwhile, Ruifeng Academy sent another student representative.
He was a boy wearing a black hood, his face and expression were obscured, but he inexplicably gave off a cold and repulsive feeling.
"Leng Shi, you should know what to do, right?"
Qin Zhen's calm voice caused Leng Shi to pause as he stepped onto the stage. After a moment, he nodded vigorously.
"clear!"
Then.
Leng Shi leaped onto the stage, his eyes, hidden under his hood, coldly staring at Cui Peng as if he were looking at a corpse.
