The entire Beast Taming Arena was completely silent.
No one expected that a perfectly good team battle would develop into this situation.
Due to the team competition system, even if Qiao Xingxing and others lost their fighting ability, they had to stay on the field and wait for the team competition to end.
After all, this was originally a 3V3 match.
But now it has turned into a one-on-one battle between Lu Yuan and Cheng Li, and Cheng Li even resorted to any means to kidnap Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng in order to win.
Such behavior might threaten Lu Yuan, but it was despicable to everyone present.
"What's going on? Why is there a hostage situation in this supposed team competition?"
"The students at Ruifeng Academy have such terrible character!"
"The fact that they accept students like this shows just how things really are inside Ruifeng Academy!"
"You're only realizing this now? Weren't the students at Ruifeng Academy already notorious for their terrible character?"
Everyone present was talking about it, pointing and whispering about Cheng Li.
Even if you have great talent and a high level, what good is it?
At such a young age, to be so ruthless in the pursuit of victory, he will likely become a severely antisocial person in the future.
While strength can inspire awe, it is only when it reaches a certain level that it can silence those around you.
At this time, Cheng Li had clearly not yet reached that level.
"It seems the students of your esteemed college have questionable moral character!"
From the school's seats, Lu En looked at Zhu Xiucheng with a half-smile.
Although he already knew that Ruifeng Academy only admitted students who were rejected from other academies due to poor character, he really did not expect that Cheng Li would take Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing hostage in front of so many people to threaten Lu Yuan.
This behavior is tantamount to wearing the words "I have no shame" directly on my head.
An ordinary person might have been so ashamed and indignant that they would have wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground, but Zhu Xiucheng, the principal of Ruifeng Academy, was not ashamed at all, but rather proud.
"Everyone uses their own methods on the field, and taking hostages is just one of them. Could it be that Principal Lu is a sore loser?"
After hearing Zhu Xiucheng's shocking words, Lu En couldn't help but frown and rebuke him angrily.
"The college is a place to help students maintain a kind heart and establish correct values. Someone like you is not worthy of being the head of a school."
"Hmph!" Zhu Xiucheng snorted indifferently, saying matter-of-factly, "Only might makes right!"
Upon hearing this...
Lu En gave Zhu Xiucheng a deep look and uttered a meaningful sentence.
"Principals Zhu are right."
"In that case, let's wait and see!"
After saying that.
Rune didn't spare Zhu Xiucheng a single glance, instead focusing all his attention back on the arena below.
Everyone else present also focused their attention on the arena and on Lu Yuan.
They were very curious about how Lu Yuan would choose between victory and his teammates.
However.
Immediately afterwards, they saw Lu Yuan slowly raise his hand and issue the attack order to Chi Lin without hesitation.
"Red Phosphorus, use the spinning throwing knives in conjunction with these vines!"
The next moment.
The vines that had been summoned by the strange beasts in the arena began to dance rapidly, accompanied by countless flying leaf blades.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Li was immediately horrified.
"Are you crazy? Don't forget your teammates and classmates are still in my hands! I can take their lives anytime I want!"
Lu Yuan remained unmoved by Cheng Li's threats.
"So what?"
"What?!" Cheng Li asked instinctively.
"They were held hostage by you because they were less skilled. What does that have to do with me? For me, winning this team match is more important!"
After hearing what Lu Yuan said, everyone present fell silent.
Cheng Li suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Everyone says that students at Dragon Academy are excellent in both character and academics, but now it seems that you and we are exactly the same kind of people!"
As Cheng Li spoke, he dodged the combined attack of vines and spinning throwing knives.
However, there were simply too many vines and leaves flying as knives. Although he reacted quickly to dodge them, he was still cut with wounds of varying sizes and depths.
After dodging several attacks from the red phosphorus, Cheng Li finally stood at the edge of the arena.
"So what if you can help Dragon Academy get first place in the inter-school exam? After this team battle is over, I'll see if Dragon Academy still dares to accept you!"
Cheng Li wore a smug smile and subconsciously looked towards the center of the stage, wanting to see Lu Yuan's exasperated expression.
But after searching around, they still couldn't find Lu Yuan.
"What happened? Where is everyone?!"
"Here it is!"
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's leisurely voice came from not far away. Cheng Li quickly turned his head to look, and his smug smile instantly froze on his face.
Lu Yuan stood far away on the opposite side, with Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing standing beside him, both looking equally bewildered.
As for strange beasts.
It was struggling desperately beneath the red phosphorus.
What happened?
At this moment, Cheng Li's mind was filled with only this one question.
How did Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing, who were originally completely under the control of the strange beast, suddenly end up by Lu Yuan's side, and even the strange beast was suppressed by the red phosphorus?
What could have happened to cause this situation?!
Not only Cheng Li, but most of the audience members were also confused about what had just happened. They only saw Lu Yuan attack without any regard for the safety of his teammates. Cheng Li quickly dodged the attack, and by the time he came to his senses, Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing had already been rescued.
Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing, the parties involved, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
Because they had just seen Lu Yuan's actions.
Despite Lu Yuan saying he wouldn't care about their safety, he rushed towards them at lightning speed the moment the Red Phosphorus launched its attack, and decisively attacked the Strange Beast while Cheng Li was separated from it.
Then the most shocking scene unfolded.
The extraordinary beasts were sent flying by Lu Yuan's single blow, and in pain, they subconsciously released their grip on them.
Lu Yuan then took the opportunity to bring the two of them to a safe location, while Chi Lin quickly followed and pressed the strange beast, which had just stood up, back down onto the ground.
Despite what Lu Yuan did, it all happened in the blink of an eye, as if it were all planned and calculated in advance.
At the school's seats.
Lu En also saw Lu Yuan's actions clearly and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Xiao Tang, who had been somewhat worried, was also stunned for a moment upon seeing this.
He still remembered that Lu Yuan's death was related to Luo Fang and the others. The words Lu Yuan had just said made him subconsciously think that ruthlessness was Lu Yuan's true nature, but now it seemed that he had been judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.
It's likely that Lu Yuan was already planning how to rescue Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing the moment he saw Cheng Li kidnap them.
All those words I said before were just to mislead Cheng Li.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
"That kid is really clever!"
