Chapter 142: Since It Is An Assessment, Is It Okay to Overkill?

“I thought he’d invite you to join Fuyao Gymnasium. I didn’t expect that he’d really be here just to make friends.”

Chen Ruoxue sighed in relief when Fang Yuan left.

“Do you think Fuyao Gymnasium has a need to do that at its level?”

Su Bai spread his hands.

“Haha! You’re right.” Chen Ruoxue laughed and raised her hand to throw the wooden board in the void.

The wooden board turned a beautiful arc in the void before disappearing without a trace.

Su Bao followed suit and threw his wooden board out. He then took Chen Ruoxue’s hand and said, “It’s time to go back. We’ve had sufficient harvest this month; the assessment will be over if we don’t go back now.”

Their harvest this month in the Chinese Redbud crack was not small. They had fought against commander monsters and harvested many crystal cores, spiritual plants, and ores.

Of course, the most important thing was obtaining combat experience.

“Little dragon, go back to the contract book first. Don’t worry; I promise that it won’t take long for you to be out in the open.”

Su Bai caressed his pet in assurance. The biggest reason why it could not freely follow him was his strength.

If he was a Pet Tamer with sovereign pets, he believed that no one would dare to say anything.

“Roar!”

It’s alright, Ah Bai. Staying in the contract book is equivalent to staying in your consciousness, so I don’t feel lonely at all.

The Little Blood Dragon blinked obediently at him.

“Thank you.”

He temporarily kept it in his contract book again.

Leaving the crack was much easier than coming in, especially if they chose not to cause trouble.

Three days later, at the edge of the five schools’ assessment venue.

A wave of spiritual power broke through the earth, followed by a two-meter-tall ferocious behemoth. It looked around and saw that no one was around; it then picked up an ore to chew and turned its head to call the person waiting outside.

Su Bai, Chen Ruoxue, Purple Jade, and the other pets came out one after another.

“The assessment has only two days left. We have to hurry.”

He glanced at the red beam of light in the center of the assessment venue.

It was the signal for all students to report at that location after three days, or else no matter how many number tags they had obtained, their scores would be invalidated.

In fact, its purpose was to draw all the students to one place, such that there were more opportunities for them to meet and fight with one another. This would play a good role in their training.

“The time is just right; everyone is approaching this side. We can catch them all in one go. Let’s catch whoever is strong, and it should be enough.”

Chen Ruoxue nodded.

“You’re right; let’s go.”

Su Bai nodded and turned to look at his pets. “Come on; it’s your turn to perform.”

They walked for a few hours without encountering anyone and reached the main rendezvous point, unimpeded.

“It looks like everyone is here,” Su Bai said. Near the main area, the spiritual fluctuations in the air were obviously more intense, which showed that there had been recent battles.

Just like water, there would be no waves on the surface if undisturbed.

“Two guys are fighting in front; should we go forward and persuade them otherwise?” Chen Ruoxue looked at the two people fighting in the wasteland ahead and asked.

“Of course, we’re doing it for their own good.”

Su Bai grinned.

“Hey, you two in front, raise your hands! You’ve been surrounded!”

Su Bai shouted at them once within earshot.

“Quickly get lost! Show your lovey-dovey affections elsewhere. Don’t come over to our side and mess around!”

“Yes, get out of here!”

The two people stared at the couple. Triggered by their interference, they directly scolded them.

“Hmm?” Su Bai looked up.

In the next moment, Big Demon and the Little Tyrant rushed over. They slammed away the energy balls launched by the other two’s pets and directly knocked them out.

“High-level warlords!”

Upon feeling the terrifying aura from the pets, the two people became rooted to the spot.

“Big brother, we were wrong—”

Before they even finished speaking, their mouths were stuffed and they were hung upside down on a tree.

“You only have fifty number tags, yet you act so wantonly?”

Su Bai glanced sideways at them. If this was the real wilderness, these two would already be corpses.

“Jade, detect the spiritual power fluctuations around us. The more intense, the better. We hafta find the strong specifically.”

He instructed the cub.

“Howl!”

Glaring at the two people hanging on the tree, the cub nodded.

“Xiao Bai, raid the surroundings and come back to tell us when you encounter a warlord pet. Take all the number tags of the others. It shouldn’t be a problem, should it?”

Chen Ruoxue looked at her pet and asked, her good mood destroyed all of a sudden.

“Hehe!”

Big Demon nodded obediently and flew off like a phantom.

“There’s no such thing as friendship in the arena, only opponent. It’s only normal, right?” Chen Ruoxue asked.

“Yes, this is a competition. It’s very normal for us to strike hard.”

Su Bai nodded his head with full conviction. He believed that he should do his best for the competition.

The students’ nightmare dawned on them, and in one day, one-third of the students were wiped out by these two overlords.

Out of more than seven thousand students in the five schools, over two thousand were wiped out.

Still, they did not have many number tags and only had more than three hundred. Most of the people they raided had not obtained any tags.

“Howl!”

Violent spiritual fluctuations are in front, Ah Bai. Mid-level warlords are fighting!

The cub stopped and looked up at him.

“Come on; let’s go take a look,” Su Bai said solemnly.

They crossed the small hill in front and saw the fight, which was just below the hill.

He recognized the group of people fighting.

There were six people in total; Zhao Li and Wang Li were fighting against the water-fire duo.

Meanwhile, the Gemini twins, Li Xing and Li Hai, were fighting against Wang Er and Wang Tao.

Other than these pairs of combatants were a group of spectators. Teachers from various schools were on flying mounts in the sky. Every now and then, these teachers would go down to inspect and check the situation of some of their favorite students.

On the flying mount, teachers from First Middle School, Third Middle School, Tenth Middle School, and Iron Second Middle School all commented on their respective students with relish.

“This is probably the fiercest fight before the end of the competition. It seems like the first place will be ours again this time.”

First Middle School’s teacher said with a smile. Both Zhao Li and Wang Li had fallen into a disadvantage, and it was obvious that the water-fire duo was going to win.

“It seems our school shouldn’t be at the bottom this time,” said the teacher from Iron Second Middle School as he satisfiedly watched Wang Tao battle with his Bone Praying Mantis.

Only the teacher from Fourth Middle School was a little embarrassed and remained silent. They initially claimed to have killer players, who would definitely snatch the first place for them in this competition.

However, a month passed, yet they had not even seen the shadows of Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue.

“Principal Qian, didn’t you say that your school has killer players this time? If they still don’t show up, there’s no chance for them to win,” said the Third Middle School’s teacher with a smile.

“Yeah, Dean Qian! Were you just kidding with us? Judging by the situation, it’s hopeless even if they come.”

First Middle School’s teacher also smiled.

Wang Wenyi and Principal Qian of Fourth Middle School felt awkward and a bit speechless at this moment.

Anger bubbled in the principal’s heart, and he was about to reply when a ringing voice said from below, “Hey, all eight of you, stop fighting and hand over all your number tags!”

“Oh, Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue have finally shown up,” Dean Qian said happily. He turned to the other teachers from the other schools and smiled brightly. “Sorry, but we’ll definitely take first place this time.”

Upon sensing the high-level warlord aura being exuded by Purple Jade and Xiao Bai, the teachers all showed grim faces.

They had all heard of this pair. After all, they had won two championships before and were even members of the Cannes juvenile team.

They originally thought that something had happened and they would not show up, but at the critical moment, they appeared with two high-level warlords.

“Not necessarily; he’s over-exaggerating. They want to defeat eight people with just the two of them? Their pets are only at a slightly higher level and aren’t even commander pets.

“Don’t forget; this isn’t a one-on-one battle, and they can join hands. Can’t eight people easily defeat two?” First Middle School’s teacher shook his head.

“Exactly. Your student is of bad character and is too arrogant. He thinks he’s invincible just because of a little power. He actually dreams of defeating eight people? Old Qian, go back and teach your trainers better.” Third Middle School’s teacher also patted Principal Qian on the shoulder with a smile.

“Yes, he’s strong but has an arrogant character. If he didn’t wait to act in such a high-profile manner and slowly built up the number of tags, he might’ve won the first place. I’m afraid that he’s a gone case now.”

The other teachers also shook their heads.

“No, I think they’re bound to succeed. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”

This time, it was not Principal Qian who spoke but rather Wang Wenyi.

“Then, we’ll wait and see how they win.”

The other teachers stopped talking and all looked below.

On the ground, all eight people stopped upon hearing Su Bai.

The surrounding students watching the battle were also stunned and leaned over curiously.

“Who’s that? So arrogant?”

“Exactly, he wants to fight two-on-eight? Who does he think he is?”

“They’re Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue from our school. We’re bound to win first place now.”

“Yes, it’s those two. Yesterday, many of us were wiped out by him. Despicable!”

“Qian Shan, Wan Shui, you can do it! Beat them!”

“Li Xing, Li Hai, you can do it! Kill them!”

...

Many of those who had been defeated by the pair before shouted all of a sudden, wanting to see them being defeated out of resentment.

“Hey, you guys came over in the afternoon? Quickly come over and help us defeat Qian Shan and Wan Shui! We’ll split the number tags with you.” Zhao Li immediately gestured toward them.

The water-fire duo’s faces turned grim in an instant. If Su Bai joined hands with the others, they could only run.

“Yes, yes! Sister Ruoxue and Su Bai, come over and help us! Once we deal with them, we’ll split the number tags.”

Li Xing and Li Hai also gestured with smiles.

“Sorry, but we can’t mix friendship in an assessment. I want all of your number tags, so make your move. We won’t show any mercy.”

Su Bai spread his hands.

“Can’t you get rid of the water-fire duo first before we fight fairly?”

Wang Li smiled and asked.

“It’s not necessary; the result will be the same.”

He shook his head and glanced at Chen Ruoxue. “We’ll deal with four people each; you can take that side, I’ll take the other.”

“Okay.” Chen Ruoxue nodded and walked over to Li Xing and Li Hai with Big Demon.

“Jade, Tyrant, defeat the two water attribute pets first.”

Su Bai pointed to the Diving Crocodile in front of Qian Shan.

“Howl! (?o?╰╯o??)”

Taking trotting over, the cub unleashed its forty-meter-wide Thorns Domain and vines emerged directly from the ground.

Countless vines covered the field like titan pythons as fireballs flew out.

“F*ck! How is this possible?!” Wan Shui was dumbfounded. How did such small fireballs contain so much energy?

The others were also shocked senseless, thinking that this defied logic.

They did not know that this was Su Bai’s masterpiece.

“Oh, no! Let’s dodge quickly!”

Alas, he did not give them the chance to react. While they were being blown up by the fireballs, the black horn on top of the Little Tyrant’s head burst forth with a terrifying undead aura. The pale aura instantly caused plants within a dozen meters to wither instantly and decline.

This terrifying power of the undead attribute condensed in a peculiar way. In a flash, they turned into two white cocoons and attacked the Lava Salamander and the Diving Crocodile.

The Lava Salamander was severely injured and failed to dodge a cocoon.

The Diving Crocodile was only slightly injured and managed to escape. At this moment, a small cocoon suddenly plunged itself into the pet’s body, absorbing its life power. In an instant, the Diving Crocodile’s breath wilted.

“How could it be?!”

“It’s a terrifying skill. They defeated two pets of the same level in seconds!”

Besides Qian Shan himself, all the spectators were stunned. How could this skill become a tracking missile, too?

Scanning the battle scene, Su Bai smirked in satisfaction. His original intention was to stop them, but who knew that Wan Shui would actually be fooled? Those hit by the withering power of the undead attribute could be tracked by the Cocoon of Death.

Wan Shui did not have enough combat experience. How could Su Bai easily let them go with such a strong way of maneuver? He had only launched a few fireballs to showcase his power.

Su Bai turned away from them and focused on the cub.

The cub’s situation was not very optimistic. It was too heavily restrained by the Thunder Fish and the Flame Crow.
