Chapter 628: The Gloomy and Cold Beast King Captures the Charming Alchemist (22)
Lin Muqing didn't even look at him, as if she suddenly understood Ming Chenque's helplessness. These kinds of scenes happen every day, right?
Ming Chenque didn't want to be disturbed by other people's gazes, "We want a private room?"
"Okay." Lin Muqing was slim and pretty, and she left side by side with the young man.
Some people whispered.
"How could Ming Chen Que be so close to Miss Lin?"
"When Master Gu's affair came to light, who didn't know that she had a fiancé?"
"The Mingchenque beast is so powerful that her fiancée cannot possibly compare to her."
“This year’s beast competition will definitely be exciting!”
"When Zhao Changqing comes back, there will be nothing to worry about!"
"Senior Brother Chang Qing has four king-level spirit beasts, so we can definitely compete with each other!"
The subsequent discussion was very quiet and Ming Chenque did not hear it, but Lin Muqing heard it through his spiritual consciousness.
The beast-killing competition will not begin until two months later.
The private rooms in the academy were very expensive, and a meal cost at least 100,000 purple gold coins, which was paid by Lin Muqing.
"You gave it last time, I'll give it this time."
Ming Chenque nodded, sat down, and thought, "Why do they always want to fight with me?"
"Because they want to test your cards. You have emerged as a new force, and every time you enter the ring, a new spirit beast appears. You are invincible. This makes it convenient for them to find a spirit beast that counteracts your spirit beast's attributes before the game." Lin Muqing took a bite of the pastry brewed with flower petals. It was fragrant and sticky, and very delicious.
She pushed the plate to the side, looked up and motioned for him to taste it. The boy took a piece and it was sweet but not greasy, just like her smile.
He lowered his head, hiding the gloom in his eyes.
"Then I won't play anymore." Ming Chenque still wanted to be in the top ten.
"Of course." Lin Muqing met his puzzled look and explained slowly: "Others use you, and you can also use their dismantling skills. You only use a fixed spirit beast to fight them. After all, you don't have the skills that others have."
Ming Chen Que thought this made sense, and listened quietly to what she said next:
"The top ten beastmasters on the Heavenly Ranking have their entire families standing behind them. They can use any means to obtain spirit beasts. Each beastmaster has dozens of spirit beasts above level nine."
The reason why Shengtian Academy can become the number one academy in Xuantian Continent is that the people who founded this academy owned many private properties by relying on the power of Yu Wanshou. Now, these properties have been passed down from generation to generation, and they still attract the attention of many families that have risen to prominence later.
Shengtian Academy has always had a traditional reward. The top ten beastmasters will have the opportunity to travel to various treasure secret realms. The portal is only available in Shengtian Academy, and the big family doesn't know where it is. There are also many rare spirit beasts in it that are not available outside. Every time a beastmaster on the list comes out, many spirit beasts will be brought out for training, and generation after generation it has become the world we have today where everyone can practice beast fighting.
Almost everyone in Xuantian Continent knows about this.
Ming Chenque also knew it.
"That's right. After all, there are tens of thousands of species of spirit beasts in Xuantian Continent, and I still lack a lot of combat experience."
"Thank you for telling me this."
The boy's sincere eyes held a hint of smile.
Lin Muqing: "It doesn't matter, we are friends."
“Yeah.” They are friends, more familiar than outsiders.
Thinking this way...it seems that I can't hide the smile in my eyes anymore.
They stayed in the box for half an hour, during which time the food was served.
Lin Muqing chatted with him in a friendly manner, like friends helping each other with their studies, but with occasional teasing.
It makes the boy blush sometimes and his ears turn red sometimes, which is very beautiful.
But when he left the box, he turned into that cool and noble young man again, with an indifferent expression.
Lin Muqing raised her lips slightly and said goodbye to him.
After separation.
When Ming Chenque returned to the dormitory arranged by the college, he was stopped by several classmates next door.
"Hey, Mingchenque, what is your relationship with Miss Lin?"
The tall, short, fat boy looked at him with a gossipy look, and Ming Chenque replied calmly, "It doesn't matter."
Liu Xinyuan teased, "Who would believe that you could buy the elixir in her hand?"
The students in the Alchemy Room are all treasures. All the pills they refine must be exchanged for contribution points. Money is the most worthless thing in the academy.
"No, I'd better go and collect contribution points for redemption." He suddenly thought that he could find so many spirit beasts, and learning alchemy to make money was indeed a good choice.
"No oil or salt!" They didn't believe it, but Mingchen Que had already returned to his room and closed the door.
After that, Ming Chenque suddenly became enlightened because of Lin Muqing's words.
His character did not change at all. Instead, he agreed to any challenge that came his way, and he treated his fellow beastmasters who had contracts with a dozen level nine spirit beasts or even king-level beasts as his whetstone.
The boy was obsessed with studying alchemy books and training spirit beasts. He gradually became stronger and even practiced group attack formations of spirit beasts.
