The individual competition has come to a close. The champion is Lu Xuanyi from Yangshan Hongfeng Senior High School, and the runner-up is Cheng Woyu from Dongcheng No.1 Junior High School.
Three days had passed before Cheng's parents heard the news that their son had won second place.
They stumbled upon this news flash on the news and immediately sent messages to their son for help. After sending several messages without receiving a reply, Mr. Cheng became unhappy and called Cheng Woyu directly.
Cheng's mother stopped him, saying, "Hey, our son said not to call him, you..."
Mr. Cheng, his brows furrowed in anger, shouted, "He's gone too far, you little brat! I'm his father! Can't I..."
"Hello." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and Cheng's father immediately changed his tone, "Xiao Yu'er, I heard you went to participate in the middle school beast taming competition? And you even won a prize?"
Ever since he came in second place, Cheng Woyu had been harboring a lot of resentment. He had awakened his talent for beast taming at a very young age and was pampered. After being admitted to school early, he received a lot of care from his classmates and teachers because of his young age. Although his family was of modest means and his parents were ordinary people, his father supported him with all the family's resources, and the school also helped him a lot. This led him to think that he was very capable in that small city of Dongcheng.
That kind of skill that no one can match.
But later, the more he learned and the more he experienced, the more Cheng Woyu realized he wasn't actually that talented. Even in the small city of Dongcheng, there were plenty of people more capable than him. He began to blame his parents for their bad genes, for his family's lack of money to provide good resources, and for his pet beast for not being hardworking or talented enough…
Cheng Woyu firmly believes that his failures are all because of the world!
All that energy boosting he fed the giant flame wolf was for nothing; in the end, it couldn't even beat a golden-winged beast. It's utterly useless!
Although he came in second place, his performance in the final match was terrible. His coach criticized him, his teammates were also quite critical, and there were even rumors that he would be replaced in the team competition! Fortunately, the school competition schedule was early, and the spots were already fixed and couldn't be changed, otherwise he would have been in danger…
At this moment, Cheng Woyu was filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent it when, coincidentally, Cheng's father came to his death.
"Yeah, I got second place! So what?! I'll get first place sooner or later! You don't need to laugh at me!" Cheng Woyu shouted into the phone with a ferocious expression.
Startled by the shout, Mr. Cheng was then filled with rage and was about to retort when Mrs. Cheng quickly grabbed the microphone: "Oh dear, Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Did something happen at school? Don't worry, shall we come to see you? Where are you now..."
"Beep beep beep..." The call was disconnected on the other end. Cheng's mother was stunned and exchanged a glance with Cheng's father.
Mr. Cheng slammed the phone down and said angrily, "Let's go, ask his school teachers, we'll go find him!"
...
One day after the individual competition ended, the middle school beast-taming league team competition officially began!
After three days of fierce competition, the 16 teams that will advance to the finals have been determined.
"Dongcheng No. 1 Junior High School." Cheng Huaijin looked at the match list and was very satisfied with the result.
Zhao Yunzhou marked Yaotian Junior High's opponents: "Except for Cheng Woyu, the others from First Junior High are all pretty easy to beat." She patted Cheng Huaijin on the shoulder, "But don't worry, we won't let you get to that point."
Cheng Huaijin turned to look at the captain, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What level?"
Huo Qianyang interjected, "We all know! You and Cheng Woyu are siblings! Don't worry, we won't let that happen—siblings turning against each other!"
Cheng Huaijin casually picked up a bubble fruit from the table and stuffed it into Huo Qianyang's mouth. Turning around, she met Zhao Yunzhou's probing eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, Captain, but it's alright."
“He’s not my brother, he’s just trash.”
Although they hadn't spent much time with Cheng Huaijin, hearing such words from him still overturned the team members' perception of him.
"Wow, you hate him that much?" Huo Qianyang asked gossipily, taking a bite of his bubble fruit.
Cheng Huaijin also picked up a bubble fruit, took a bite, and replied, "I really hate it."
Huo Qianyang's eyes darted around, and he chuckled. He put his arm around Cheng Huaijin and whispered, "Sister Cheng, I'll definitely get this done for you!"
...
The team competition between Dongcheng Yaotian Junior High School and No. 1 Junior High School is underway.
The score is now tied at 1-1.
The Li Haoyu-Zhao Yunzhou pair won the first game, while the Chen Qingwan-Huo Qianyang pair lost the second game.
Zhao Yunzhou remained calm, patting Huo Qianyang on the shoulder: "It's alright. I didn't expect First Junior High to be so strong this time. Our previous tactics underestimated them a bit... Cheng Huaijin, are you confident for the next game?"
Huo Qianyang had been hanging his head since stepping down from the stage, looking very sad. When he heard the captain call Cheng Huaijin's name, he raised his head slightly, his eyes bright as he looked at Cheng Huaijin, and winked as if no one was watching.
He had a look on his face that said, "Praise me."
Cheng Huaijin: ...Could this guy have deliberately lost so that I could beat Cheng Woyu? What kind of bizarre thought process is this!
Cheng Huaijin remained calm and replied composedly, "Don't worry, Captain, I'm sure I can win."
Zhao Yunzhou said encouragingly, "Good! Don't feel pressured, just go for it!" After Cheng Huaijin went on stage, she grabbed Huo Qianyang by the collar and threw him against the wall.
Huo Qianyang suddenly felt a lightness in his body, then winced in pain and looked up to see the captain staring down at him with a judgmental gaze, his face ashen.
...Damn it, the captain's angry.
"Huo, Qian, Yang. This competition isn't for you to play around with. Do you think no one can see through your little schemes?"
"If Dongcheng Yaotian Junior High School doesn't win the championship this time, you'll be sorry."
