MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 45 Duel

 A swarm of students poured into the gymnasium and entered the auditorium one after another.

Except for the huge battle field in the middle, the outer auditorium is carved from huge boulders. There are steps to climb up the boulders from the back. Students from the No. 8 Middle School sit on the seats placed on the top of the boulders. .

 At the same time, students from other schools were arriving one after another outside the school gate.

As if he had received orders from above, the school guard opened the door and turned a blind eye. The guard booth was filled with smoke, and the two guards were smoking and chatting leisurely.

The two Dalmatian-like beasts lying at the doorman's feet were choked by the thick smoke in the pavilion and coughed.

One of them stood up and opened the door handle with his paws, while the other one followed behind and ran to the door and squatted down.

 Two dogs stuck out their tongues and looked at the students coming and going.

“Classmate, which direction is the gymnasium?”

 “Behind that teaching building over there.”

"Thanks."

 Chen Lingya and four others entered the eighth middle school.

The three of them walked in front, followed by Chen Lingya, who put her hands in her pockets and casually observed the school environment, where her younger brother went to school.

 The school looks pretty good.

If I had not joined Wanhai High School, I should be studying at Qinglong No. 8 Middle School now.

“It’s similar to our school gymnasium,” Pei Lingmin said.

“The competition venues in schools are all the same.” Ruan Jun looked at the students around him casually. Many students were going in the same direction.

 “It should be over there.”

There was a loud noise from the school gate behind him. Ruan Jun turned around and saw a bus stopping at the gate.

 Three teachers led the group first, followed by six students.

“The school team from Xintian Middle School is also here.” Ruan Jun looked at the six students behind him.

There are only two and a half schools in the new district that are capable of competing for the Shuzhou Cup. One is Qinglong No. 8 Middle School, the other is their Wanhai High School, and the last half is Xintian Middle School.

I heard that the principal of Xintian Middle School is very ambitious. He has been actively reforming in recent years and has recruited many top students.

"You all have confidence. I taught you the method before I came here. There are many students watching the game today. You must perform well." Mu Xikai, coach of the Xintian Middle School team, encouraged the students behind him as he walked forward.

 Walking into the stadium, cheers like waves from the high platforms on both sides echoed throughout the stadium.

Mu Xikai said to a tall, thin boy with glasses behind him: "Don't feel any psychological pressure this time. It's best if you can win. Don't be afraid if you can't win. Their school ranking is already higher than ours. This time you Just perform as usual. The school team of Qinglong No. 8 Middle School is also considered a strong team in Jincheng. As long as you can defeat their school team head-on, it will prove that your strength has reached a certain level. You are expected to reach the top eight this year!"

The tall and thin boy nodded. He pushed up his glasses and looked far away at the school team members of Qinglong No. 8 Middle School opposite.

He quickly ignored the three people who looked young and looked like freshmen in high school. His opponents today were not them, but the other four.

"It's just a competition, don't feel pressured." Mu Xikai encouraged in a low voice, then turned his head and said to Kuang Shiyi, "Teacher Kuang, since it's just a competition, there's no need to think too much about it, right? Why don't we just start now? ?What do you think?"

"let's start."

Kuang Shiyi said lightly.

 The formal members of both sides will each come forward with four players.

At the edge of the venue, many teachers from the No. 8 Middle School summoned beasts to maintain safety, protect the surrounding students watching the battle, and at the same time stop the fighting at critical moments. After all, it was just a competition, and everything must be limited to safety.

A senior high school teacher who was in charge of the referee held the flag high in his hand and said, "Losing combat power means failure. The beast master must immediately take back the beast that has lost combat power. The winning side shall not compensate for the loss of combat power." Knife, the fighting venue is limited to the gymnasium, and you are not allowed to deliberately release your skills to the audience. At the same time, you are not allowed to cheat, and you are not allowed to communicate with people outside the venue to cheat. Violators will be disqualified from fighting. Now I repeat it again."

 Eight people from both sides shouted and knew the rules.

The senior high school teacher nodded and waved the command flag in his hand, "The battle begins!"

 The two sides summoned beasts one by one, and the three reserve players behind Chen Xing were naturally not qualified to play.

Chen Xing observed from a distance the four members of the official school team of Xintian Middle School opposite. Among the four members of the school team of Xintian Middle School, there was actually a beast that had evolved once. Although the other three beasts had not evolved, they were still close to the beast. The first evolution is not that far off.

  Generally speaking, the strength of the two beast masters in terms of energy level can be considered to be about the same. However, if broken down, overall, the skill proficiency mastered by the four beast masters in No. 8 Middle School is generally higher.

However, team battles not only look at the apparent level and skills, but also include coordination, attribute restraint, actual combat reactions, etc.

 Eight beasts fought together, and the fight was fierce.

One of the Taming Beasts in the Nitta Middle School team had his spine broken by being trampled on. The reason was that he was about to sneak into the ground and sneak a sneak attack from below. However, he was noticed by the Yushu Giant Turtle, and with a move, the earthquake in the gymnasium was shaken, and the ground beneath his feet was shaken. The waves were so strong that the giant-clawed pangolin was forced out.

The tree-growing giant turtle followed up with a heavy trample, followed by two consecutive intermediate skills that were proficient in proficiency. The giant-clawed pangolin was almost knocked back to the ancestral planet, its spine was dented and collapsed, and it lost its combat effectiveness on the spot.

Senior Tian Xuechuan’s Ghost-Faced Mastiff has the lowest energy level and is the weakest among the four beast masters. The opponent found a flaw and focused fire on the Ghost-Faced Mastiff. The Ghost-Faced Mastiff was beaten until it vomited blood and a large piece of its scalp was cut off.

Seeing the miserable situation of their teammates controlling the beasts, the two sides who were originally restrained seemed to have a real fight.

 In the end, Qinglong Bazhong won with two serious injuries and two minor injuries.

When No. 8 Middle School won the victory, the audience on both sides burst into cheers, and the echoes echoed loudly in the semi-enclosed indoor venue of the gymnasium.

 At the end of the battle, the school medical team from No. 8 Middle School immediately came on stage to treat the beasts of both sides.

 The beast master has a tenacious vitality, and coupled with the effect of the healing skills, as long as he does not die on the spot, injuries of this degree can basically be nursed back to health quickly.

"The fight was a bit bloody, but the battle between beast masters is inherently cruel." In a hidden corner of the gymnasium, Xue Jinbao and Director Sun stood in the corner. The other teachers nearby were very discerning and left space for them. .

“Principal, I heard there is news that the higher-ups intend to reform?” Director Sun asked the principal.

"That has nothing to do with us. We are just a high school. Twelve years of compulsory education is national and no one will touch it." Xue Jinbao glanced at Director Sun meaningfully.

Director Sun sneered and shut up wisely.

Reform is easy to say, but not so easy to do in practice.

From ancient times to the present, every reform has not faced huge resistance. Everyone knows that reform can enhance national strength, but reform will inevitably damage the interests of existing vested interests. If interests are touched, conflicts will arise, which is inevitable.

It is natural to be sober when observing from a perspective above history, but as a person today, we are in the current history, and the rolling red dust is like a dragnet. When we are in the world, it is not so easy to escape.

In fact, it may not be obvious among students, but there has been a turbulent undercurrent within Daxia officialdom recently, especially after that adult proposed a new law, which aroused fierce resistance from many aristocratic families.

Xue Jinbao narrowed his eyes. He was not interested in factional struggles or new laws and reforms.

He just wants to be his own principal and develop Qinglong No. 8 Middle School into the best high school in Jincheng. "Principal, the competition for the official members of the school team is over. Next is the competition between Chen Xing and Zheng Weixin." Director Sun changed the subject. He knew that the principal took time out to watch the competition for the purpose of this competition.

"Hmm." Xue Jinbao looked in the direction of the No. 8 Middle School team, especially the slender young man in the school team, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

 Judging from the teaching log submitted by Kuang Shiyi, Chen Xing’s beast control has progressed very quickly.

 Especially in terms of body shape, it is said that there has been amazing growth.

Xue Jinbao wanted to see how far Chen Xing’s saltwater crocodile had grown, and Kuang Shiyi surprised him.

Hehe, I, Xue Jinbao, have been the principal for ten years, and I have never seen anything like controlling a beast.

“Both sides only have one beast that has evolved once. Is this what the No. 8 Middle School will do this year?” In the spectator seats, Pei Lingmin was disappointed. He thought the No. 8 Middle School might be a strong enemy.

 That’s the result?

 In a 4V4 team battle, as long as you hold off this beast that has evolved once, and then the remaining three people quickly defeat the other three people, you can win quickly.

Even if the energy levels are the same, the physical body and the upper limit of magic power of the beast master that has evolved once will be baptized once, and the overall strength will be stronger than that of the beast master that has not evolved.

Ruan Jun said with a smile, "It seems that the eighth middle school is also lonely. This year it is estimated that it will be the top sixteen."

"By the way, I heard that there are reserves from No. 8 Middle School and Xintian Middle School who are coming to the 'Grudge Bureau'. Isn't it that the Gratitude Bureau will be next?" Ruan Jun stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance.

Although Nitta Middle School lost the game, there was not much emotion on Mu Xikai’s face.

 Looking at Kuang Shiyi on the opposite side across the site where a battle had just taken place.

“I guess many schools may think that we in Xintian only have a one-evolved beast this year. Are everything ready?” Mu Xikai had a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, coach, the materials for evolution are all ready." He Liang breathed a sigh of relief. In the battle just now, his beast master did not fight with the opponent. Although he suffered some injuries, it was only a minor injury and he could recover in two days. , just to save the state and prepare for the next evolution.

The short-haired girl next to him also expressed gratitude: "Coach, I also got the last treasure I needed."

 She needs three kinds of treasure materials for her beast control evolution, and the school helped her get the two most difficult ones to collect.

Mu Xikai nodded, and the two beast masters evolved, and they were guaranteed to succeed once. If they were lucky, both of them could evolve.

If anyone in the next Shuzhou Cup thinks they only have a one-evolved beast, they should be prepared for a big fight.

 It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse. If we can ensure that we have four beasts that evolve at once, we may have a chance to compete for the top four.

The top four teams in the Shuzhou Cup every year are basically all evolution teams.

Mu Xikai looked serious and said, "Zheng Weixin, it's your turn next."

 “Don’t worry, coach!” Zheng Weixin took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

 He had made all kinds of preparations in advance for this battle, whether it was the deduction of tactics or the training of skills.

 “Go!”

Kuang Shiyi gently pushed Chen Xing on the back, "Speaking of it, this is your first time fighting in such a public place. It can also be regarded as gaining experience for you. Fighting requires a big heart. Just training every day is not enough. ."

Shattering cheers rang out from both sides of the gymnasium, and figures with arms raised one after another stood up. This passionate atmosphere made Chen Xing's blood flow faster, and his brain even experienced a brief slight lack of oxygen.

 For some reason, facing the attention of countless people, Chen Xing did not feel weak in his legs. Instead, he had the urge to give it a try.

 He couldn't help but smile.

He lowered his head and spread out the five fingers of his palms. The lines of the summoning array were faintly visible between the lines of his palms. Through the lines, he seemed to see Taotie lying in the beast control space.

The pitch-black scales are cold and deep, and the bony back spines stand side by side.

Suddenly, his body trembled, his closed eyelids suddenly opened, his dark and deep eyes stared straight ahead, his body tensed, his head slightly raised, entering a hunting posture.

 A deep growl came from the throat.

Different from the usual cute and well-behaved person in front of Chen Xing, Taotie's eyes were cold and cold at this moment, which was the gaze of a predator in nature.

"You and I are connected. Do you feel my emotions? Then come with me." Chen Xing said silently in his heart, and the next moment he looked up at Zheng Weixin, who was a hundred meters away.

Zheng Weixin waved his hand violently, the bright summoning array lit up, and a figure with wings raised high emerged from it.

 “唳!”

 The black shadow soared into the sky and hovered in the sky.

This is a falcon with a wingspan of one meter and two meters, and its eagle eyes are fixed on the field below.

"Iron Feather Fighting Eagle." Xue Jinbao's eyes were complicated in the distance. He originally introduced this beast to his school in order to compete for the ace in training three years later, but he did not expect that it would become his school's opponent.

Hitting the ground in the air, this luck may not be good. No. What is that! ?

Xue Jinbao’s pupils suddenly opened wide.

There were even more exclamations in the audience.

 “Two months? You told me it was two **** months?!”

 “Fuck, what is this!”

Especially many of the first-year students in the same grade stood up in fright, and some stuck their heads out through the railings.

In the corner, a man wearing glasses was recording video with his mobile phone. When he saw Taotie being summoned, his eyes were full of surprise.

On the other side of the field, the light of the summoning array gradually dissipated. A cold giant crocodile with a body length of more than five and a half meters was slowly relaxing its muscles. Its huge and slender tail swept behind it, raising a large amount of dust. The giant crocodile raised its head, His dark eyes greedily scanned the iron-feathered fighting eagle flying overhead.

Zheng Weixin's command to attack was stuck in his throat, "attack"

  “attack”

 He opened his mouth several times, but the rest of the words got stuck in his throat.

Taotie walked slowly towards the pool not far ahead with heavy steps.

Zheng Weixin finally came to his senses. It doesn’t matter if he is big. If he is big, he will definitely win!
