CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 259: TOURNAMENT (PART 1)

The expected result was number 578’s crushing defeat; if the opponent hadn’t held back, he might have lost long ago.

Soon, the staff announced number 21. Zhang Yuyan quickly got up and headed to the arena, while her opponent was number 437.

Before Zhang Yuyan could step onto the stage, the opponent conceded defeat directly.

Such a disparity made competition unnecessary.

Faced with this unexpected victory, Zhang Yuyan was momentarily stunned.

It was understandable for her to feel this way. After all, the students who came to compete all wanted to use this tournament to showcase their strength. Passing the qualifiers already required some level of skill, and her opponent was number 437, considered to be of average strength among all participants.

Zhang Yuyan didn’t dwell on this matter much. Since the opponent conceded, it saved her the trouble of making an effort.

Who knew that soon after Zhang Yuyan returned, the staff announced number 1.

Chu Chen immediately stood up upon hearing this. When he learned his opponent was number 153, he almost sat back down.

As Chu Chen saw his opponent walking toward the stage, he could only walk over reluctantly.

"Looks like they think my first place is all for show," Chu Chen muttered to himself.

Chu Chen stepped onto the stage and discovered his opponent was a burly young man, whose Guardian Beast was an Agile Attack Element Wind Flame Fox, at First Rank Commander Level.

"You’re Chu Chen," said the young man coldly.

Chu Chen furrowed his brows and replied, "You’re stating the obvious."

The young man, hearing this, was instantly angered. Pointing at Chu Chen, he said coldly, "Kid, you’re quite arrogant. I want to see what you’re really capable of. Don’t think that just because you got the first place in the qualifiers by luck, you can look down on everyone."

Chu Chen replied helplessly, "You talk too much. If you want to fight, just do it quickly." With that, he summoned Lei Yao.

The young man swallowed hard as he looked at Lei Yao’s huge size, which exerted an intense pressure.

The young man took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

At this moment, seeing both were ready, the referee finally said, "The match begins."

"Go, Wind Flame Fox."

The Wind Flame Fox didn’t stupidly rush forward. Instead, it launched a Flame Bomb at Lei Yao.

Lei Yao, seeing this, didn’t change its expression at all. It raised its right hand and slapped at the Flame Bomb.

With a muffled boom, the basketball-sized Flame Bomb was directly extinguished.

The young man’s expression suddenly changed upon seeing this, and he quickly commanded Wind Flame Fox to distance itself from Lei Yao.

Lei Yao didn’t pursue, instead, it stood a short distance away, watching as the opponent maneuvered around the arena.

The attacks released by the opponent were all batted away by Lei Yao, appearing as effortless as swatting flies.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said somewhat reluctantly, "Lei Yao, have you had enough fun? Don’t waste time. I want to go back and catch some more sleep."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao let out a dissatisfied growl, then the dense Thunder Element began gathering toward it.

In the blink of an eye, two Thunder Blades, each about a yard long, appeared alongside it.

The young man was shocked at the sight.

At this moment, the two Thunder Blades sliced through the air straight toward the Wind Flame Fox.

The Wind Flame Fox hurriedly used a skill to intercept, but its attack seemed made of paper, disintegrating the moment it touched the Thunder Blades.

With a loud "boom," the Wind Flame Fox was blasted away.

This strike didn’t directly hit the Wind Flame Fox but struck the arena.

The young man quickly conceded defeat upon seeing this.

Before leaving, he cupped his hands to Chu Chen and said, "Thank you for showing mercy."

Chu Chen waved it off and directly returned to the rest area.
