【Latest odds report for the top 16! 】
According to the latest odds, our team's overall strength has broken into the top five. The odds have plummeted from 1:50 at the opening to 1:3, but if you enter now, you should still be able to make some money.
[Xiaofacai, when the contestant list was released, Rinyin's blacklisting posts went viral. Those people should definitely not try to make money from this.]
[Whether I earn money or not, does it have anything to do with you? ]
Just as someone was about to break down and start a quarrel, the next message came from the system.
[System Announcement: Please refer to the official caliber of the Fantasy Beast Association for relevant market data. This post is temporarily closed.]
Kaiya was picking his teeth while browsing the campus forum, enjoying the brief moment of leisure.
In the past few days, he led the first-year students of the fighting class to charge around on the Star Network. When each person was on duty, they had to open an average of seven or eight web pages at the same time, and they had not yet taken care of the school forum.
At first, Kaiya thought he needed a little training and review before he could use a few fixed materials to launch the platform. However, after reading a few people's heartfelt responses, Kaiya fell silent. What's more terrifying than a "troll army" is a "troll army" that is willing to do so with real feelings!
"I'm not from Leyton State. We don't have a Phantom Beast Academy. When I first transferred to Thorn Flower, the noble students always made fun of my accent. One even started pouring ink into my locker. It was Rinne who grabbed their hair and made them apologize to me. She even consoled me by saying that my accent was quite interesting."
"There was a student from a wealthy noble family who, taking advantage of his status as a school trustee, secretly filmed people in the girls' locker room. No one dared to report him the first two times, but the third time, she ran into Rin. She stripped him down to his underwear and hung him on the clothesline by the locker room door. She even wrote 'I like big, strong men' on his back with indelible mythical beast marking ink. After that, Rin was retaliated against. It's said that she single-handedly beat up ten of them without even getting a scratch."
"Everyone who works with Rinne knows how comfortable it is to be on her shift. Many aristocratic students in the library often deliberately leave precious documents lying around and watch the commoners busying around. Sometimes we're too busy and miss a book or two, and we'll be reported and have our wages deducted. But as long as Rinne is on duty, no one dares to do that, because she'll push their heads into the bookshelf."
"Everyone says Rin's mental stability index is too low, that she's mentally ill. But in reality, the people who forced her to do it are the ones who are sick! Their 'social stability index' is too low, I suggest they all be arrested!"
In the first year of Wu Dou... no, in fact, there were more than that, because there were many IP addresses that were different from the school's public network and were obviously private terminals. In short, with the perseverance of some students of Thorn Flower, netizens on the Star Network forwarded them passionately, and a new round of discussion was set off on the entire Star Network.

What we need is not a savior, but someone who breaks the unspoken rules.

The popularity of the Fantasy Beast Contract is killing the future of all civilians.
When rebels are deified, it proves that oppression has become commonplace.
Inside the deep main hall of the Fantasy Beast Hall, the Public Relations Director knelt on the cold floor tiles, beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
He'd already cursed Rumi in his mind for the last eight hundred times—he'd originally been sent here to deliver a message, but the moment he heard he was coming to the Fantasy Beast Hall again, his expression instantly changed. He insisted he had "food poisoning" and then burst into three loud, smelly firecrackers. He was so irritated that he just told him to get out.
Next time, next time I absolutely have to let him come. He's been here so many times. The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, the third time is chatting, the fourth time is sleeping on the bed...
"Oh."
Flora chuckled and brought the frightened and unconscious public relations director back to his senses.
It seems that the Palace Master is in a good mood right now.
"Scold the nobles? You're a good one." Her voice was lazy and cheerful. "Those old guys, on the surface, are respectful to me, but the next moment they turn around and flirt with Mao Tan."
She stood up, her robe trailing down the steps like a flowing shadow.
"Since they chose to stand against me, why should I care if they were burned to death by the wrath of the civilians?"
"Palace Master...Palace Master, what you said makes sense."
"The current Fantasy Beast Hall isn't called Frost. If they want to burn the nobles to death, then so be it. There's nothing wrong with renaming the Fantasy Beast Hall to 'The Common People's Fantasy Beast Hall'."
She smiled brightly, looking at the frozen PR director. "You're such a mediocre piece of shit. Go down and call the Minister of Commerce. Tell her I need her to add more fuel to the fire."
…………………………
The training area of the martial arts field at dusk.
The preliminary round finalists have been announced. The training area is empty, with everyone taking the time to rest and adjust before the next round, the top sixteen, which will be even more physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding.
The principal stood by the sand pit, green energy flowing in his palms.
"Stinky kid, wake up."
Linyin stood silently, her eyes empty.
The principal sighed and motioned Yunmenghu to stand guard. He raised his hand and the green airflow turned into a tornado.
Linyin still didn't move, allowing the tornado to sweep her high into the sky.
The principal laughed sadly, "Song Baiyue, Song Baiyue, you didn't even want to live, but you only saved a walking corpse."
Linyin's short hair had grown to her shoulders, and when it was blown by the wind, it covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
Bang.
The tornado wrapped around the human body inside and was controlled by the principal to fall to the ground.
Wuji Zhenqi automatically protected her body, giving Linyin a buffer, but she still smashed the sand pit into a human shape. She lay quietly in the pit, not even uttering a cry of pain.
In the twilight, the green air flow ignited flames, illuminating the cigarette box that the principal took out.
"Who are you showing this to?" There were two small green flames in the principal's eyes. "Song Baiyue is gone, and you're the only one sad?"
Linyin leaped up, his fist emitting a golden glow. The principal easily blocked it and struck back with another palm: "He was the first student I personally taught. This cigarette box you see here was bought for me by him with the money he earned from working part-time one year as a gift for Teacher's Day."
Linyin let out a howl that was not human. Like a wounded beast, her despair was enough to tear through the twilight.
"Why him? Why not me?" she cried. "I'm the one who raised the kitten, and I'm the one who insisted on participating in the competition..."
"Are you just drowning in these emotions?" The cyan air current transformed into a strong gust of wind, striking Rin again. "Your teammates are sad, and Koneko is sad too. But to prevent you from further despair, they endure their sadness and give you first place in the division. What about you? Are you lying here pretending to be dead when you're sad?"
When Lin Yin heard this, some black threads mixed into the golden true energy, and a shadow was cast over her eyes.
"Are you going to continue being a living dead?" The principal looked disappointed. "Are you not going to avenge him?"
"Flowing Clouds Break."
Linyin mechanically opened her mouth and recited the name of the Absolute Meridian Technique. This was the skill she had just learned with the help of the principal, and now she was using it on the principal.
One, two... dozens of space cracks appeared around the principal.
The principal waved his hand, and a green airflow filled the intimidating space in the cracks, and the cracks disappeared into thin air in an instant.
"You're far from being able to do that. You won't get revenge this way." The principal's expression turned cold. "Use weapons."
"That reminds me of him... I can't use it." Rinyin started, her voice hoarse.
The last trace of warmth in the principal's eyes disappeared.
She raised her hand, and the air in the entire training ground suddenly solidified, and then turned into countless green wind blades that swept over. Lin Yin hastily opened her Qi Vision, but could not find any flaws in the overwhelming attack.
Bang!
The first gust of wind slammed her against the alloy wall.
"Mengmeng, heal her."
Upon hearing this, Yunmeng Tiger flicked its tail, scattering a handful of healing light spots. Before she could catch her breath, a second gust of wind arrived, this time knocking her directly into the deep sand pit.
"With such a huge gap in strength ahead of you, what right do you have to act so willfully?" The principal's voice echoed from all directions. "Can't use weapons? You didn't cherish them much when they were alive, but now you're deeply attached to them after they die."
The dark energy in Linyin's eyes grew thicker. She struggled to get up, but was once again swept into the air by a third gust of wind. The healing light followed her like a shadow, ensuring that she always maintained a clear sense of pain.
…
After being smashed into the ground for the seventh time, Linyin's vision had returned to clarity. The black hairline was completely consumed as part of the power protecting her body during the repeated falls.
The principal also temporarily stopped releasing the tornado. She walked slowly towards him on the green flames, "... Come to think of it, I miss Song Baiyue so much. I beat him up like this too."
"Then I...should perform better than him."
Linyin lowered her head in disappointment.
The next second, a curved cone appeared in his hand.
A powerful pressure instantly swept across the entire training ground.
The principal's eyes lit up, and he redoubled his attack. This time, Rin didn't completely dodge, but she finally launched her first decent counterattack.
In the twilight, healing light spots and cyan wind swirled into a web. A flicker of relief flashed in the principal's eyes, then all that relief transformed into a fiercer attack.
…
"Let's stop here."
Linyin collapsed in the sand pit. Every wound on her body was burning with pain, but she felt more awake than ever before.
There were hurried footsteps on the sidelines. Belle almost stumbled over, not caring about the pain as her knees slammed into the sand.
The unique golden color of Wuji Zhenqi swirled around her pupils as she anxiously checked Linyin's injuries. However, her words were completely devoid of anxiety: "Looks fine, no serious injuries. Aunt Wanran was very measured."
Hearing Belle say this, Linyin could only smile bitterly - beating and treating at the same time, it really knows how to control herself.
The curved cone turned back into a bracelet and returned to Linyin's wrist. She took a deep breath and tried to stand up.
Belle immediately reached out to help. Linyin was about to push her away gently, but as if she thought of something, her hand stopped in mid-air, then turned back and held Belle tightly.
"I'm back." she said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shuijing rushed over and gave her a bear hug, and Yuzhu also joined in with red eyes.
Han Jiangxue hesitated for a moment before being pulled in by Shuijing.
Su Lian suppressed his emotions and walked slowly towards him, but a group of people rushed up and surrounded him.
A group of young men hugged each other tightly in the sunset. Rinyin allowed herself to be hugged in a messy way, watching the crescent moon gradually rising on the other side of the sky——
Goodbye, her moon.
