29 Rival

"Whao!"

"Whao!"

"Awhaooooo!"

The loud cheering of a large crowd resounds throughout the stadium as a young man with a bizarre hairstyle wearing a fur coat wins his match with overwhelming power. The match which was supposedly to decide 1st and 2nd place from Qingzhou Academy one of the elite academies from the Hangzhou province, ended quickly with just a single attack

"Winner, Sun Zan!" the referee for Qingzhou Academy announced as the rounds of applause grew louder which caught the attention of every school in the stadium

"Sun Zan!"

"Sun Zan!"

"Sun Zan!"

Those same words were heard throughout the arena until it was forcibly suppressed however, it still didn't kill the admiration of the students for Sun Zan who had already returned to his seat

Sun Zan who had won caught the attention of the recruiters as groups of them bombarded him with papers and questions

"Pfft, look at that wild monkey he even has the surname Sun! Anyways the cheers won't be his for long once he gets a piece of me." Wang Tao sneered

"..."

"Did you really need to make a pun?" Ye Qin asked

"..."

"Yes…"

"..."

"..."

Shortly afterward, the loud cheers weren't just for Sun Zan as the winners of other schools were decided momentarily. According to Ye Qin's observations, only a select few of them would be able to force Ye Qin to become serious which included Sun Zan of Qingzhou Academy, He Ru of Mingdu Academy, Gao Xun of Tianjing Academy, Gu Zexian of Lingqing Academy and Ding Shi of Luofei Academy

Each of them had recruiters lined up for them with is the opposite of Ye Qin and some other schools. In actual fact, Ye Qin and Wang Tao had recruiters however, they had both turned down all the offers making the recruiters walk away in disappointment

Even amongst those five, Sun Zan has a Rare grade monster with a high level whilst the others had Rare low levels and Uncommon grade high levels

Looking at Sun Zan far away from him, Ye Qin saw another source of energy within the former's body. This naturally meant that Sun Zan is hiding his true power and even deeper than that is an unrevealed monster with even power to his other

"Finally we can get serious." Ye Qin thought

…

Just as he thought that those five mentioned above were the biggest threat to him, he felt a strong aura from a different type of monster

Normally a human would form a pact with a beast type monster such as a cat, dog, bird and more. In a special case, some humans would be able to form a pact with other types of monsters. Since dragons can exist, naturally other mythical beasts and monsters from stories exist to be summoned from the monster plane

He felt the aura from a short female student wearing a scarf and face mask not far away from his school's field. In front of that female student, a human shaped figure with black wings on its back and long purple hair gave off a powerful aura as it stepped on top of the opposing monster

"A demon type!" Ye Qin thought, Such a rare monster is naturally born at the Rare grade and even without training them in special ways or using materials, they would be able to advance grades into the Epic Grade! However, that is only if the demon type monster has a pure enough bloodline and have fulfilled its ancestral teachings

"Hey fatty you see that?" Ye Qin said

"Yea the cute looking girl?" Wang Tao replied

"Wtf? How do you know if she's cute or not? Besides I meant her monster!" Ye Qin said as he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Wang Tao's remark

"Of course I noticed, just look at her figure! You can tell she's a beauty from that and besides it's not like her eyes and nose are covered." Wang Tao continued

"This guy…" Ye Qin thought before saying "I had initially thought that Sun Zan and the others would be a threat but it seems like she will be the hardest to defeat in the stadium."

"I know, I know just let me admire her figure ok?" Wang Tao said with a displeased face before quickly turning around to ogle the female student

…

After all the battles were over, every student that isn't in the top 3 were sent home. As for those who won, they were to stay behind in the dorms along with their teachers until the battles between every school is over

Once the winners were confirmed, they all lined up for an assembly held by the Ministry of Education for a while as they were congratulated for their strength. Once the assembly came to a close, the rooms to the dorms were allocated to each and every one of the students. The dorms only separated males and females which disallowed the males to peek and also meant that everyone was to share a single building with strangers

…

After getting his room number, Ye Qin and Wang Tao left together for dinner which was provided by the Ministry of Education free of charge. In the dining room, the two grabbed dinner as they sat down at an empty table

As soon as they sat down, another food tray slammed down onto their table slightly shaking the two's meals. Looking up, Sun Zan smiled at them and said "May I sit here with you?" as he munched away on his food

"..."

"You might as well since you started eating before we could say anything…" Wang Tao replied

"Great!" Sun Zan said

After a few minutes of silence and chewing at food, Ye Qin dropped the bomb and asked "So what do you want?"

"Ah? Relax man just here for a meal." Sun Zan replied

"There's plenty of empty tables, you couldn't have consequently have chosen this table and even ditched the other two from your school." Ye Qin said

"Ok fine, I just came here to check out a potential rival." Sun Zan replied bluntly

"Rival?" Wang Tao asked

"Yea in fact both of you are on my list, during my match, I saw a bright golden light and turned around to see you two messing around." the latter replied

"Right…"

"So? How do you know we weren't serious?" Ye Qin asked

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! If someone as great as I couldn't even tell that someone is holding back then how could I have gotten this far?" Sun Zan laughed

"Ok."

"Believe what you will." the two brothers replied as the three of them finished off their meal before heading to their own rooms for the night

…

Ye Qin walked down the corridor towards room 201 with a key in hand

Step* Step*

Once he arrived in front of his designated room, Ye Qin unlocked the door as the lights automatically turned itself on
