Chapter 105 Chapter 105
There were more than one battle match, but for Xia Muqing, even if she didn't play a single match, it would be enough for her to stand out.
What's more, when she fought, the one she attacked was the weakest third contracted profound beast, and she won cleanly and neatly - even a little uncanny.
It was not as easy for others as her. Even Xu Ling, Jing Yiyi and others had to play at least two games before they secured their spots.
The Battle Club gave out places very cautiously, and the principle was not to miss out on any talented Beast Tamer.
By the time everything settled, quite a while had passed. Xia Muqing noticed that the boy who'd contracted the mountain bull had finally made it onto the shortlist after fighting five desperate matches. Although he'd lost miserably in the first match, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus.
Losing to Xia Muqing is normal and not shameful.
Moreover, after losing to Xia Muqing, in the following battles, the Mountain-Raging Bull erupted with extraordinary fighting power. It looked extremely excited, roaring and charging around, knocking several powerful mysterious beasts away.
After being knocked away, he did not forget to turn around and stare at the Yin-Yang butterfly on Xia Muqing's shoulder with a burning gaze.
Xia Muqing: "..."
She covered Liang Yi Butterfly's eyes and said, "Good boy, Xiao Zi, don't look over there. Don't absorb any weird emotions."
Liang Yi Butterfly: “……?”
After the list of inductees was announced, some cheered, others felt disappointed. However, the seniors said, "Even if you don't make the cut this year, you'll still have another chance next year. Don't be discouraged."
"And even if you don't make the cut, you can still watch the upcoming senior competition and challenge rounds!"
Everyone immediately became excited.
This can be considered a benefit for the shortlisted students. After all, watching the senior students fight at close range is also a rare learning opportunity.
Moreover, the old students who are able to participate in the selection of the Combat Club are all outstanding figures who have shown unique talents during this year's study and training, and their strength is extraordinary.
Following the guidance of their seniors, the students took their seats in the spectator seats. The seniors who participated in the match entered the arena on time, drew lots and were divided into groups like the freshmen, and then walked onto their corresponding battle stages to begin the battle.
"This is what Senior just said, a second chance to join the club."
Someone in the crowd whispered, "The competition for admission to the club among the seniors is much fiercer than that among the freshmen. They've all gone through a full year of training in college and have entered alternate dimensions numerous times, completely transforming themselves. The fighting is insane—look, the A3 battle arena!"
Xia Muqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people fighting on the western stage. One was commanding a snow-white tiger, and the other summoned a golden-haired lion. The two extremely ferocious beasts fought each other wrapped in mysterious power. Every move was ruthless and powerful. Even if you were sitting in the spectator seats, you could feel the gusts of wind blowing in your face.
“…So, so brutal!”
"As expected of Yanda University, and indeed of the Fighting Club!"
"Of course we have to fight. This is our last chance to join the Fighting Club and also our last chance to secure a spot in the University Challenge. The competition is only open to freshmen and sophomores. Once they're juniors, there's no hope."
“Bang—squeak!!”
The protective formation crackled under the weight, drawing everyone's attention to the other corner. There, a large queen of flowers, nearly one meter tall, was extending hundreds of purple stamens and fiercely attacking the spherical beast opposite.
“Pah pah pah pah!”
Hundreds of stamens were like long whips with sharp thorns, carrying sharp mysterious energy and strong winds, whipping the whole place into a violent storm.
The fierce attack caught the eyes of the freshmen, and many of them felt panic, subconsciously wondering: If I face such an enemy, can I win?
I guess, I'm afraid, there's a high probability...
Alas!
What shocked everyone even more was that the spherical beast that was fighting against the Queen of Flowers took the fierce attack head-on and actually spun away swayingly, seemingly without any damage at all.
A dazzling white light emanated from its entire body, and in an instant its body dispersed into dozens of small round rollers with serrated sharp blades on the edges, whistling as it cut towards the roots of the Queen Flower!
With a flick, dozens of stamens were cut off.
Mysterious light filled the sky.
"...Nissanmon?"
"Oh my god, it's so fast! My little pony might not be able to withstand a single blow from it... Woohoo, the old man is so scary!"
"Don't cry, don't cry. We didn't get selected, so we won't have to play this game again until next year. But those who were selected will have to compete with these people for a spot in this year's draft..."
"...Who the hell can compete with this?!"
The effect of the battle among senior students was very obvious. The selected freshmen immediately suppressed their pride and fell into infinite worry about the future of the Fighting Club.
On the other hand, the unselected freshmen thought that one year later they would also have the same strength as the seniors on the field, and their confidence was immediately restored. They had infinite expectations for future study and training.
Xia Muqing watched the battle on the field and felt a little itchy in her heart.
The mysterious beasts of the seniors on the field are so powerful.
...I really want to try fighting them.
The rules for selecting old students are the same as those for freshmen, but the number of people is more stringent. In the end, only 6 people were selected, plus the previous 12 freshmen, a total of 18 people.
In this way, the main members of this combat club were finalized.
The senior competition concluded, and the Battle Club selections were almost over. Everyone gathered their excitement and prepared to head to the cafeteria for lunch. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, a senior student took the stage and said, "Next up is the final event: the freshman challenge."
"The freshmen who just passed the selection can choose to challenge any member of the Battle Club. Freshmen who didn't make the cut are also welcome to participate. We have prizes prepared for everyone. You can claim them as long as you bravely sign up."
"There are only three spots available. Don't miss this opportunity. If you'd like to participate, please raise your hands!"
There was silence in the audience.
The freshmen looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
If it was before the senior students' competition, many of them would be very excited, thinking that as long as they didn't face Xia Muqing, they would be the best in the world, and they would definitely rush to sign up.
But after watching the competition between the senior students... To be honest, the freshmen were very discerning and immediately realized that there was still an insurmountable gap between themselves and the senior students who had been in school for more than a year.
Sign up, what the hell.
Will he be beaten in public during the performance?
The freshmen were feeling timid, but they didn't notice that the senior student on the stage also looked a little nervous, and her eyes were always looking in one direction.
As she expected, after three seconds of silence, someone stood up and waved, "Senior, I want to sign up!"
It’s Xia Muqing.
Others would be intimidated by the old man's battle, but she was only excited. The old man's profound beast was very powerful, but the battle between powerful profound beasts was particularly interesting!
"Battles with more and stronger mystical beasts, isn't this the most exciting part of this world?"
How could she let go of the legitimate opportunity to challenge the old students?
Xia Muqing stood up and walked onto the stage. At the same time, the senior student who was hosting the show looked a little weak, and she kept glancing at the audience from the corner of her eyes.
"Come on, Xiao Jin!"
As the mysterious beast space opened, the koi fish swung its golden tail and landed lightly on the ground. The horns on its head became more and more conspicuous, and the tips were faintly forked like branches.
Seeing that she summoned a koi fish instead of a hurricane dog, many people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Quasi-divine beasts... although they are very powerful, they are not unique in Yan University.
After all, it is one of the top beast taming schools in Yan Daxia. Among the juniors and seniors, 15% have trained quasi-divine beasts. Although the Combat Club only accommodates freshmen and sophomores, there are no less than 10 people among them who own quasi-divine beasts.
Ji Jingming straightened his collar, stood up and walked towards the battle stage.
Since Xia Muqing did not send Lord Feng Luo, he did not need to ask for support from his seniors. Moreover, facing the Koi Fish, Ji Jingming felt that he had a high probability of winning the battle and maintaining the dignity of the Combat Society.
He smiled at Xia Muqing and extended his right hand: "Hello classmate, I am Ji Jingming, acting president of the Combat Club."
Xia Muqing shook his hand and looked at him curiously: "Hello, are you... the acting president?"
Does the president need to step in to beat up a freshman like her?
Ji Jingming put on an awkward yet polite smile: "We should show the highest level of respect to the challenge of the Divine Beast Master."
That’s right, it’s out of respect, and it’s definitely not because they are worried that the little koi is too strong and the Battle Club is afraid that they will send other people who won’t be able to defeat him!
Xia Muqing believed it and nodded.
She didn't feel any pressure in beating the acting president, but instead felt more excited.
"Xiao Jin, get ready!"
Ji Jingming also summoned his own mysterious beast: "Nan Dou Thunder Monkey!"
A monkey, covered in purple flames and with flying hair, landed on the field. With its fists clenched and its momentum soaring to the sky, it roared in protest at the koi fish: "Hou Hou——!"
Xia Muqing was stunned for a moment: "...Nandou Thunder Monkey, a power-type mysterious beast?"
Although the little monkey in front of him was not big in size, he was a real powerhouse. His punches carried the power of thunder and lightning, and each punch was as heavy as a thousand kilograms.
"That's right," Ji Jingming replied, "My Nan Dou Thunder Monkey already has 130,000 energy points and has practiced more than a dozen fighting techniques. His punches never miss. You have to be careful—Nan Dou Thunder Monkey, use the Thunderstorm Meteor Fist!"
"Hoo-hoo!"
The half-meter-tall little monkey was agile and suddenly leaped high into the air. Purple thunder was like countless arcs of electricity, lingering on its arms and legs.
It punched hard in the air, roaring and throwing hundreds of punches in an instant. Each punch was accompanied by a purple arc of light, smashing towards the little koi from the air!
Hundreds of punches overlapped, and the purple light was dense and packed, like a field of thunder cannonballs!
The punch was sharp and weighed over a thousand pounds. Wherever it passed, a pitted and cratered ground appeared. The koi fish in the center of the attack was completely enveloped by purple light, its form invisible. Only a cloud of dust and the trembling ground were visible, demonstrating the power of this move.
The eyes of the others outside the field twitched as they watched. Someone murmured, "Horrible! There's not even a place to dodge!"
"How can a koi fish withstand so many thunder punches... The president is really cruel. Is he afraid of more trouble and wants to knock everyone out with one move?"
"The Nandou Thunder Monkey has become stronger. Don't be fooled by its small size; it can easily lift a rock weighing several tons. The Koi Fish should be a spell-type, but it's unlucky to be countered by melee this time... What the hell?"
A golden light suddenly shone in the center of the purple light, sharp and swift, like a long sword splitting the sea of thunder!
The koi fish jumped up!
Swimming freely in the sea of thunder, facing the raging fist wind. It raised its huge tail, rolled up the raging waves, and rushed forward without dodging or giving way -
“Boom!!”
