Lu Yuan and the others arrived at the restaurant inside the Beast Taming Arena.
There was still some time before the competition started, and most of the students were having breakfast here.
The variety of food is very extensive, similar to a hotel buffet.
Lu Yuan casually grabbed two steamers of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and also picked up some side dishes.
"You only ate this little bit for breakfast?"
Cui Peng came closer from behind and, upon seeing what Lu Yuan was holding, exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at the plate in his hand, which was piled high with various foods, resembling a small mountain, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"It's because you ate too much."
"Really?" Cui Peng glanced at the plate in his hand, not paying much attention. "Qiao Xingxing has already reserved a seat, let's hurry over!"
Lu Yuan nodded and followed Cui Peng to a window seat.
"You two are so slow!"
Qiao Xingxing looked up and stuck out her tongue, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the plate in Cui Peng's hand.
"Cui Peng, you're eating so much, aren't you afraid you'll get diarrhea during the competition?!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Cui Peng said with a grin. "Compared to usual, this is already considered eating less!"
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan and Qiao Xingxing exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and shock in each other's eyes.
Good heavens!
That's not considered a small amount of food.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder how much Cui Peng ate at each meal.
"Let's not talk about this for now!" Qiao Xingxing gently patted the table, drawing Lu Yuan and Cui Peng's attention. "Look at that table over there!"
Upon hearing this...
Cui Peng and Lu Yuan both looked in the direction Qiao Xingxing was pointing.
"Isn't that someone from Ruifeng Academy?"
Cui Peng frowned slightly.
After the arena battle, Ruifeng Academy's favorability rating in his heart had dropped to negative, causing him to feel inexplicably annoyed whenever he saw Ruifeng Academy students.
"Who is that person? Is he also from Ruifeng Academy? I've never seen him before."
Cui Peng pointed to the unfamiliar faces at the table of Ruifeng Academy and asked with some confusion.
"He must be the second-year student who replaced Qin Zhen in the match!" Lu Yuan guessed.
"That's him! It's him!"
Qiao Xingxing nodded in affirmation, but her expression became serious.
"I heard his name is Cheng Li, and his beast-taming level is even higher than Qin Zhen's! He's just a second-year junior..."
At this point, Qiao Xingxing subconsciously looked at Lu Yuan beside her.
Lu Yuan is the same.
She was just a freshman who had just entered the university, and her Beast Tamer level had only just broken through to the Heavenly Evolution level, but the strength she displayed was even stronger than that of her, who was a seventh-level Heavenly Evolution Beast Tamer.
This made Qiao Xingxing feel somewhat discouraged.
I've worked so hard to improve myself for so long, but in the end, I can't even compare to a freshman.
Lu Yuan didn't notice Qiao Xingxing's expression and instead asked, "What level of Beast Tamer has he reached?"
Qiao Xingxing pouted and thought for a moment.
"It seems to be the eighth level of the Heavenly Evolution? I heard it from someone else, so I'm not sure if the information is accurate."
"Eighth level of the Heavenly Evolution?!"
Cui Peng was utterly shocked.
If Cheng Li's Beast Tamer level is indeed the eighth rank of the Heavenly Evolution, then wouldn't that be higher than Qiao Xingxing's?!
But that kid is a year younger than them!
Just then, the students from Ruifeng Academy, who had finished breakfast, left the table and happened to pass by Lu Yuan and his group.
"So it was you who defeated Qin Zhen and killed his Shadow Rat?"
Cheng Li stood in front of Lu Yuan, looking down at him with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Are you an idiot?
Lu Yuan didn't answer his question, but instead suddenly asked a seemingly random question.
"What?"
Cheng Li narrowed his eyes and subconsciously asked a question.
"If you were a student representative from Ruifeng Academy, you should have been in the arena yesterday and could have seen all the matches taking place. Everyone knew how badly Qin Zhen lost, but you didn't. Isn't that because you're not very bright?"
Lu Yuan put down the hot porridge in his hand, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and then looked up at Cheng Li with apologetic eyes.
"Sorry! My family won't let me play with people who are mentally challenged, they're afraid I'll catch their intelligence and it will lower my IQ!"
"puff!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I'm...sorry! I didn't mean to."
Qiao Xingxing offered a polite explanation, then quickly lowered her head again.
Cui Peng, who was standing next to him, also quickly lowered his head.
No way!
Seeing the colorful expressions on the faces of the three students from Ruifeng Academy, he couldn't help but laugh.
Especially Cheng Li, who was directly ridiculed.
His complexion changed from white to red, then from red to green, like a vibrant palette of colors.
Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng kept their heads down, refusing to look up, but their constantly shaking shoulders betrayed how hard they were trying to hold back their laughter.
Cheng Li gritted his teeth as Lu Yuan called him an idiot to his face.
If it weren't for the fact that the match wasn't over yet, he would have beaten this kid so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!
at last.
He took a deep breath.
"I'm Cheng Li, replacing Qin Zhen in this competition. You'd better pray you don't run into us in the upcoming team battles, or you'll suffer a terrible fate!"
As he said this, he gave Lu Yuan a meaningful look.
"Especially you, I really look forward to playing against you."
However, after hearing these provocative words, Lu Yuan waved his hand impatiently.
"Are you done? If you came all this way just to say these trivial things, then I can only say that I overestimated you. You are no different from them; you are just a frog in a well."
Upon hearing this...
Cheng Li pursed his lips, staring intently at Lu Yuan, then beckoned to Leng Shi and Ge Yuankui.
"Let's go!"
After saying that.
He turned and left.
Leng Shi and Ge Yuankui followed closely behind him.
After the three of them had completely left, Cui Peng approached Lu Yuan.
"That kid named Cheng Li seems very confident; he might be a tough opponent! If you really face him, are you confident of winning?"
In the past, Cui Peng would never have asked such a question.
Even if someone were to ask, they would definitely ask Qiao Xingxing, never Lu Yuan.
But now.
He bypassed Qiao Xingxing and went straight to Lu Yuan, which showed that he was completely impressed by Lu Yuan's strength.
beside.
Qiao Xingxing looked at Lu Yuan with shining eyes as well.
Are you kidding me?!
She couldn't even beat Qin Zhen, so her chances of victory against Cheng Li, who was even stronger than Qin Zhen, were even slimmer.
The team battle championship will determine whether Dragon Academy can continue to hold the top spot in the inter-school exam. She must assess the probability and risks of winning before the battle begins.
Seeing the hopeful look in their eyes, Lu Yuan slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
"Relax, the top spot will be held by Dragon Academy no matter what."
