Ji Ren’s expression abruptly changed when he heard this, and he gradually clenched his fists.
Yu Ruyun, who had been paying attention to their movements, quickly stepped forward and stood between the two when she saw this scene.
She glanced at the Hound on the ground and then moved her gaze away.
Her gaze swept over the two who had just ended the battle.
Due to what the two of them had said before the duel had started, Yu Ruyun did not delve into the matter of the Hound being hurt.
Yu Ruyun’s gaze swept across the audience and announced, “Chen Nan wins this duel!”
During the announcement, she could not help but glance at Chen Nan a few more times.
After she announced the result, she turned her head to Chen Nan and said, “Chen Nan, your strength has exceeded my expectations.”
Yu Ruyun’’s gaze fell on Chen Nan, and a smile hung on her face.
Although she had guessed the result, it was also completely different from what she had initially thought.
That being said, to her, the result was good.
However, Chen Nan’s expression did not change at all. He simply nodded at Yu Ruyun.
At the same time, in the audience stands, Chen Nan’s classmates had not recovered from their shock.
Their eyes were glazed as they looked at the Hound that had fallen to the ground. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
‘Who would have thought that Chen Nan who they hadn’t thought of highly just a moment ago would’ve won?!
Qing Yunshi was sitting in the front row of the audience seats. She had watched the entire match.
She had seen very clearly that the battle between Chen Nan and Ji Ren had been crushing.
However, she was very curious, just how strong was Chen Nan’s contracted beast?
To think it was able to defeat the Hound in a crushing manner.
After all, she was very clear about the potential and strength of the Hound.
Since Chen Nan could defeat the Hound, his strength was definitely not weak.
His contracted beast was probably even a lot stronger than hers!
It seemed that Chen Nan’s contracted beast was not as simple as it looked on the surface.
At the same time, the results of the duel also attracted the attention of the seniors.
At first, when they learned that Chen Nan’s contracted beast was a sparrow, they did not think highly of him.
They didn’t expect him to tum the tables and “slap” their faces.
However, Chen Nan’s strength was truly interesting.
He had played the role of a “pig” quite well, causing them to mistakenly believe that Ji Ren would win, but in the end, he had eaten the “tiger” instead.
It seems that the future Luoyang Academy would be much more interesting than before.
Since the duel had ended, it was time for them to go and do their things.
The seniors immediately stood up and left the spectator stands. As they left, they were still discussing.
“Chen Nan’s strength is quite good, I wonder what level has he reached?”
During the competition, they learned Chen Nan’s name from his classmates.
“To be able to defeat a low-rank bronze grade vicious beast, his vicious beast should at least be at the middle-rank or high-rank bronze grade.”
“[heard that there is a very strong person in First grade Class S. I wonder who will be stronger between the two?”
The seniors discussed animatedly.
They had heard about it not too long ago that among the new students, the students in Class $ were quite strong.
‘The most outstanding one among the Class $ students was named Xin Qing.
However, they did not know how Xin Qing’s strength was.
After the duel ended, everyone returned to class.
The moment Chen Nan walked out of the training ground, Liang Feiguang immediately went forward.
He stood beside Chen Nan, and with an incredulous expression, he sized up Chen Nan then said, “Chen Nan! I didn’t expect you to have such strength?!”
When Chen Nan heard this, his expression did not change as he said, “At least the few flies are gone.”
‘When he said this, Liang Feiguang agreed with him very much.
He believed that after the duel, Ji Ren and his lackeys would not come looking for trouble with Chen Nan anymore.
Soon, the two of them returned to the classroom together.
‘When everyone was seated, Yu Ruyun walked up to the podium and looked around.
Everyone’s expression was very normal, except for Ji Ren who looked as if he was constipated.
However, Yu Ruyun didn’t pay too much attention to it. After all, he was the one who was inferior to others.
She retracted her gaze and said some important matters, “In a month’s time, the City Competition that is held once every four years will commence. Any student who ranks in the top five in the academy’s assessment will be qualified to participate. I’m sure everyone is quite familiar with the City
Competition. As long as you rank in the top three, you will have the opportunity to be baptized by the Holy Spirit Pool.”
After Yu Ruyun finished saying this, her gaze swept over the students’ faces.
The City Competition was a competition held by the Beastmaster Academies in the surrounding cities.
Over a thousand people would compete for the top three positions because only those who entered the top three would have the opportunity to be baptized by the Holy Spirit Pool.
One had to know that this was a competition that would only be held once every four years!
All vicious beasts that had been baptized would have their potential and strength increased.
As such, everyone would work at evolving their contracted beasts at this time to enter the top three in the City Competition and obtain the opportunity to have their contracted beasts baptized!
“The Holy Spirit Pool! It is said that the strength of the contracted beasts that have undergone the baptism will increase by a lot.”
“But with so many people competing for just three spots, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to get into the top three.”
“Ha! You haven’t even passed the academy’s assessment yet, and you’re already thinking of the City Competition? You should first think about how to enter the top five in the assessment.”
“That’s true. Only by entering the top five can we participate in the City Competition.”
The classroom was immediately filled with noisy discussions.
All of them were discussing the matter of the City Competition.
After all, there weren’t many opportunities to enter the Holy Spirit Pool.
If one didn’t work hard at this moment, it would be very difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
After Chen Nan heard this, he immediately became intensely interested in the Holy Spirit Pool.
He wondered if the baptism of the Holy Spirit Pool could increase Xiaochi’s strength.
However, it was indeed quite difficult to enter the top three among thousands of people.
After all, there were still quite several powerful vicious beasts among the many Beastmasters.
Fortunately, there was still a month’s time.
It was just so that he could use this time to make sufficient preparations for the student assessment and the City Competition.
“Since there are no problems, let’s start the class,” Yu Ruyun looked around and found that the students’ faces were still filled with excitement.
Even so, they still had to listen to the class.
Hearing this, everyone recovered from their excitement and looked at Yu Ruyun.
However, in their hearts, they decided to work hard to raise their strength within the month to make their contracted beasts stronger.
Following Yu Ruyum’s lecture, the bell rang.
“Class dismissed,” Hearing the bell, Yu Ruyun stopped her lecture. She took her textbook and walked out of the classroom.
After she left the classroom, everyone stood up one after another and left the classroom at an even faster pace.
Most of the students went to the academy’s Mission Hall to use the afternoon to go out on missions to earn points.
This way, they could use their points to exchange for the medicinal herbs they needed to evolve their contracted beasts.
When there were only two or three people left in the classroom, only then did Chen Nan stand up and walked out.
However, not long after he left the classroom, a melodious ringtone sounded.
He immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket.
He opened the message and realized that it was a message from Zhen Xuelan.
She was inviting him to join a mission.
Chen Nan looked at the content of the mission and decisively chose to join. He immediately went to the agreed location.
