Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After six consecutive matches, it was finally Tiange Academy’s turn to enter the scene.

“Principal, why don’t we follow Huawu University, who sent only two Lord-tier Monsters?” Wei Gongfan was excited to give it a try.

Gao Peng looked at him with caring eyes. “I will break your leg if you dare to do so. What’s the point of competing if you can’t even show basic respect to your opponent?”

This sentence sounded like it made sense. However, the thought of the principal’s actions felt so strange... Gods may do what cattle may not.

Upon seeing five pairs of doubtful eyes, Gao Peng coughed and said, “All right, since you all want to beat Huawu University. First of all, you must do better than Huawu University in performance and also in other aspects; only in this way we can take over the title of champions from Huawu University, who were champion last year.”

The five little ones suddenly realized that the principal was up to no good.

“Cao Huan, you take the Sky Sparrow to the arena. Do not take Canine Flower.” Gao Peng knew for sure that someone was aware that Tiange Academy’s Lord-tier monster was Storm Sparrow. It would rouse suspicion for sure if they didn’t take Storm Sparrow out to play.

“Don’t expose your real power after you go into the arena. Hold back the Lord-tier aura first. If the opponent has a Lord-tier monster, then send Sky Sparrow... use Storm Sparrow to impede. Let the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster use vines to remotely strangle the opponent if the Lord-tier monster isn’t in the arena.”

Mo Yingming smiled. “Understood, principal. Just hide our real ability; we get it.”

“Audience and friends, next up is Tiange Academy and Luoyang University.”

They were the only two teams with odd numbers that had been brought forward in the draw for the first round of the competition. Moreover, their rankings were very close to each other, as in the previous competition, one of them had ranked seventh, while the other ranked eighth!

They were only one rank apart. Thus, it was believed that this would be a cutthroat competition, just like a fight between a dragon and a tiger.

In one of the deluxe villas of the Freedom Alliance, a luxurious leather sofa occupied almost the entire living room, the dull brown animal skin spanning dozens of square yards, its thick hair as dense as a waterfall. After going through a special treatment, one could gently lean back and sit in it, their butt fitting perfectly into the sofa.

On the sofa, a middle-aged man with dark hair and light wrinkles at the corners of his eyes asked firmly, “Who do you think will win?”

Beside him was a man of a similar age wearing a black jacket. His head was leaning against the sofa, and while slowly swinging his legs, he said, “As long as there are no accidents, sure enough, Tiange Academy will win. After all, isn’t that little kid back? So we’ll see how they’ll win.”

“What you did a few days ago was a bit stingy.” The middle-aged man who had been talking earlier took a glance at his little brother. “Gao Peng hasn’t decided which team to stand for, and you were pushing him to side with He Wei.”

The man in the black jacket looked at his brother and yawned. “All right, I’ll be more careful to not reveal my intentions next time.” He stood up from the sofa after he finished talking.

When the middle-aged man was about to continue lecturing, the black-jacketed man suddenly turned his head almost 180 degrees, just like an owl turning its head, and glared at his brother, who was sitting on the sofa.

“Don’t forget about the rules of the Situ family; you are the eldest brother. You have been the master of the family since you were born, and you have enjoyed all the dignity, but I’m just a dog raised in the dark by the Situ family! I’m merely a dog, and you still expect me to understand human language?”

The smile on the black-jacketed man’s face slowly became hideous. “Let me tell you, when a dog goes mad... it will bite anyone, no matter who! Don’t act like you did when you were little, always giving attitude and lecturing me!” He then waved his hand, turned around, and left the villa without even looking back.

Watching his brother’s back disappear around the corner, the Situ family member’s facial expression slowly pieced back together as his state of mind quieted down.

...

A student from Luoyang University mumbled to himself, “Huh, I’m not sure whether this is just a mistake, but the Tiange Academy familiar opposite us is giving me a strange feeling.”

“What feeling?” someone beside him asked.

“A strange, heavy feeling.” The student who had started talking first smiled. “Maybe it’s wrong. It could be me being too nervous.”

On the other side, the teacher leading Huawu University asked a bald-headed man beside him, “Have you found anything?”

The bald-headed man shook his head. “No. There haven’t been any changes to the familiars. They’re still the same familiars that we have information for.”

“Oh, like I said, why do you need to pay so much attention to a person who escaped three years ago?” The teacher in charge of Huawu University laughed at himself. “That Ji Hanwu is still considered a somebody, whereas Gao Peng, at most, is just lucky enough to have a good grandpa.”

The legs of Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster, which was made up of vines, were wriggling non-stop as it carried them while walking slowly to the front.

“Be careful; the combat level of the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster across us is very high. It won second place in the in-campus qualifying competition at Tiange Academy. A Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster that isn’t good at direct combat but could still get such a high ranking must certainly be excellent. Be more careful later. Don’t fail miserably at such an easy task,” said the leader of Luoyang University to his team.

“Okay. Don’t worry, leader. We understand.” The rest of the team members all nodded.

The body of the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster slowly descended. Lower and lower, the compressed vines from its body were spreading out continuously, and the huge amount of vines from inside plastered onto the ground as they expanded to fill the entire stadium.

Luoyang University’s team didn’t rush to take action, since they didn’t know whether there were any traps, but they let their fire familiars blow out some Fire Snakes, intending to block the vines outside. However, these vines passed through the Fire Snakes without any hesitation, and the vines that were on fire continued to extend forward.

“Huh?” A monster trainer with good insight noticed that something wasn’t right. This Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster must have already broken through the Lord tier! A Commander-tier Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster couldn’t release this many vines.

“Thousand-Leaf Mantis, go and cut off the vines,” ordered the same monster trainer.

An emerald green mantis with the height of a human being stepped out from the side, and a pair of thin and transparent wings opened all of a sudden. Under the sun, the transparent wings on the emerald green skeleton emitted a metallic luster.

“Good job. The Thousand-Leaf Mantis is valuable with its wings. The wings of this Thousand-Leaf Mantis are thin yet strong. The quality is also perfect,” praised another monster trainer.

The Thousand-Leaf Mantis raised its two large saw-like knives in the shape of a cross. The next moment, its wings were vibrating at high speed, then it disappeared, leaving a blurred shadow in the air.

A few vines that were expanding in their direction had been cut off the moment the shadow flashed by. It could be seen that the speed of the Thousand-Leaf Mantis had slowed down. Obviously, the vines were resistant.

The face of the Thousand-Leaf Mantis’ monster trainer turned a shade darker. “These vines are very strong. It’ll require great effort for the Thousand-Leaf Mantis to cut them.”

“How could that be possible? It’s a piece of cake for the Thousand-Leaf Mantis to cut off the vines of a Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster when their level difference isn’t big.” A man at the side shook his head. This was a well-known fact.

“Then... could it be that the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster across us has already advanced to the Lord tier?” said someone suddenly.

The facial expression of a few other people changed. “This isn’t good.” But at this point, the vines of the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster had already completed a layout.

A huge amount of vines had thickly wrapped them in the trap as countless vines packed together, encircled into a high wall that was continuously winding upwards. It seemed like the vines were going to form a big ball, trapping them inside.

“It can’t be like this... how could this be possible? The information we had clearly said that the Lord-tier Familiar of Tiange Academy was a Storm Sparrow. How could it have suddenly changed to a Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster?”

In the beginning, they had been prepared for the Storm Sparrow.

“Seems like we don’t need to bother you anymore. The battle is over.” Wei Gongfan laughed. He was the monster trainer of the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster.

“Last time, I wondered if the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster could develop this amazing skill. Before this, it couldn’t be developed due to a lack of ability, but a few days ago, I secretly tested it for a long time after it advanced to Lord-tier... So I’m going to broaden your horizons today.”

The vines inside the body of the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster were almost completely gone, the vines on its back and four limbs had become sparse, and the vines on its legs were almost gone, too. High up in the air, nearly all of the vines had flown out from inside of its body.

The air had been temporarily solidified. Countless vines were crazily fluttering in the air like crazy dancing anacondas.

“Strangle—Vine Ocean!”

The air screamed, and the crazily twining vines burst into their ultimate speed, squeezing inward. The huge space had shrunk to a very small one in a moment.

A large puff of air was emptied out as a huge white cloud burst outside the ball of vines. Boom—

The screams from the bursting clouds echoed through the whole stadium.
