Chapter 18

Without waiting for Su Ming to react, the giant pheasant had already quickly flapped its wings and fanned the branch-shaped spike.

With a crisp crack, the branch spike broke into two.

“This is a Withered Tree Branch, a plant-type Wild pet.”

“Your focus is actually on the Withered Tree Branch. Didn’t you see that chicken? This is the one that caused all the beasts to cry at the freshman contract ceremony!”

“Ah? The one with the True Phoenix bloodline?”

“That’s right, that’s it.”

“It looks no different from an ordinary Giant Chicken.”

“That’s because you don’t know how to read it. This new student didn’t even give the order just now and it already reacted quickly. This kind of spirituality isn’t something an ordinary Wild beast can have.”

“Alright, that makes sense.”

The surrounding crowd was abuzz, most eyes fixed on the Giant Chicken.

Wild beasts with the bloodline of divine beasts were very rare. Anyone who saw them would be envious. Even if someone said that they didn’t care, they would definitely be extremely tempted.

Including Chang Xiaotian at this moment.

He was one of Luo Qingcheng’s admirers.

In the replay of the freshman combat assessment, he saw the scene of Luo Qingcheng being taken advantage of by Su Ming and even having a Wild beast egg extorted from her.

Chang Xiaotian felt even worse than if he had been bullied. He thought that if he met that kid called Su Ming, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

In the end, they really bumped into each other.

Chang Xiaotian sized up Su Ming and his huge chicken with interest.

He raised his hand and released a talent skill.

The Withered Tree Branch that had been split in half by the Giant Chicken quickly returned to his hand.

This was the first time Su Ming had seen a plant-type pet. He immediately felt that it was very interesting.

Moreover, the branch had clearly been broken by the Giant Chicken so why did it return to its original state?

What kind of talent skill was this?

Chang Xiaotian was sizing up Su Ming, and Su Ming was also sizing him up.

Even though this person’s pet was interesting, this person was strange. Why did he attack him without saying anything?

Just as he was about to question him, he heard the other party introduce himself first.

Chang Xiaotian said to Su Ming, “Hello, I’m Chang Xiaotian from the second grade.”

Since the other party was so polite, Su Ming could only respond politely, “Hello, Senior.”

Then, he heard Chang Xiaotian say, “I heard that you were quite famous in the freshmen assessment. I want to see how powerful you are.”

After saying this, Su Ming immediately understood that this bullshit senior was here to find trouble.

He did not have the time to deal with these boring people.

Hence, he waved his hand and said, “No, no. I’m not powerful at all. Let’s forget it if you want to spar with me. I still have something on!”

Then, he said to the administrator in the window, “Can you give me the token now?”

Even though the administrator was very angry that he had bullied Miss Qingcheng, there was no reason for him not to give him a token. He threw an intermediate Beast Tamer token over to him angrily.

Su Mingren couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. He thought to himself, If you use his attitude on our Blue Planet, you would be complained?

He took the sign and hung it on his hip, side by side with the Wild Beast Box containing the Giant Chicken.

Su Ming plucked the two little things with his fingers and planned to walk out with a satisfied expression.

The surrounding crowd also saw his intermediate card, and for a moment, there was a flurry of discussion.

“This is the first time I’ve seen an intermediate Beast Tamer among the new students!”

“This kid is extraordinary!”

However, Su Ming had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by Chang Xiaotian again.

“Don’t be in a hurry to leave. I haven’t finished speaking!”

Su Ming patiently gave the senior some face and listened to his nagging.

Chang Xiaotian pointed at an entrance next to him with his thumb and said, “Let’s go to the Beast Arena and fight. How about it? Do you dare?”

When Su Ming came over just now, he also saw the entrance of the Beast Fighting Arena.

He just didn’t look at the rules carefully.

At this moment, Chang Xiaotian insisted on fighting him. He even used goading.

If it were anyone else, they might have gone as well.

However, Su Ming had encountered this kind of thing many times in the past and was completely unmoved.

He smiled and said, “No, no, Senior Chang, please make way. I really have something on!”

Seeing that he wasn’t provoked, Chang Xiaotian thought that he really had something on. He couldn’t help but frown and say, “What do you want?”

Could a mere first-year student be busier than them, the seniors?

If he could spare some time, why couldn’t this kid?

Su Ming said, “Just, go back and have a meal, take a shower, sleep, and feed my Giant Chicken.”

So many things!

Chang Xiaotian: “…”

He clenched his fists fiercely.

“Cut the f*cking crap. If I say go on the stage, you have to go on the stage!”

The more Su Ming listened, the more amused he became. Why? Was he forcing her?

He shook his head and turned to walk past Chang Xiaotian.

Unexpectedly, several more people came out and completely blocked his way.

It seemed that Chang Xiaotian had a lackey.

Su Ming felt that they might really have to fight.

However, when he turned around, he suddenly saw a halo of luck appear above Chang Xiaotian’s head.

Apart from when the system was activated at the beginning and the providence halo on the heads of everyone around lit up, the providence halo would usually light up when relevant plot twists appeared.

Now that Chang Xiaotian’s halo had lit up, it meant that there was a related turning point.

Su Ming clicked on his halo icon and quickly browsed through it. He saw the words in the Turning Point column:

In a recent competition, he defeated his opponent and obtained a treasure, the “Hundred-Year Withered Pillar”. With this treasure, he would become a high-level Beast Tamer in the future.

Su Ming focused on the use of the Hundred-Year Dried Pillar.

It felt like a good thing!

It seemed worth a fight.

Therefore, he changed his mind and asked Chang Xiaotian, “What are the rules of the Beast Arena?”

Chang Xiaotian thought that he was frightened by his and his underling’s aura, so he sneered and replied, “The rule of the Beast Fighting Arena is that the winner wins the opponent’s Wild beast.”

To be precise, if Su Ming won, Chang Xiaotian’s Withered Tree Branch would become Su Ming’s.

If Chang Xiaotian won, then Su Ming’s Giant Chicken would belong to Chang Xiaotian.

The surrounding crowd started discussing again.

“I want the Wild beast with the True Phoenix bloodline too.”

“This freshman won’t really agree, right?”

“He shouldn’t be that stupid. No matter how powerful he is, he’s still a new student. He might not be able to defeat Chang Xiaotian.”

“It’s not necessarily true. I definitely can’t beat him.”

Unexpectedly, they heard Su Ming reply to Chang Xiaotian, “Okay, come on, see you on the Beast Duelling Arena!”
