After everyone left the training ground, Bai Ningbing blocked Su Bai's path with an arrogant expression and said, "Don't think that just because the principal has your back, you can do whatever you want. If you think you can make us follow your orders, I'm telling you right now, it's not going to happen!"

Su Bai rolled his eyes, feeling utterly speechless. He couldn't be bothered to waste words on someone like this and turned to leave.

This scene infuriated Bai Ningbing, who wanted to teach this junior a lesson about respecting his seniors. However, Gu Yueqingshu quickly pulled him back and advised, "This Hundred Schools Tournament is of great importance. It concerns Jiangzhou Martial Academy's ranking among the hundred schools and our own interests. Starting a conflict before the competition even begins is unwise!"

Seeing that even Senior Yueqingshu had spoken, Bai Ningbing glared at Su Bai's departing figure, thinking to himself: I'll let this kid off for now. Once the competition starts and no one listens to his orders, he'll be in for a surprise!

Not long after Su Bai walked away, a striking figure blocked his path again. Looking up, he saw it was Wang Qingqing, a sophomore and one of the three campus beauties of Jiangzhou Martial Academy. With a frosty expression and raised eyebrows, she looked at Su Bai and said, "Su Bai, you only managed to kill a Silver Tier beast by relying on help from military experts and instructors. Even if you're the team captain, don't think you can command us seniors!"

"I don't know what my grandfather was thinking, telling me to interact with you more. What qualifications do you have? I advise you not to get any ideas about me!"

At this point, Su Bai's face darkened. What's wrong with these prodigies lately? Did the principal make me captain on purpose? That old man has a wicked heart!

Su Bai glanced sideways at the proud beauty and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't be interacting with you. We're just not compatible!"

"You're so young, why are you always thinking about such things!"

Su Bai really wasn't interested in this so-called aloof campus beauty. She wasn't even half as cute as Yanran!

Yanran is a campus beauty too!

After saying this, Su Bai didn't spare Wang Qingqing another glance and headed towards the dormitory. Watching Su Bai's retreating figure, Wang Qingqing's face flushed with anger. At school, every guy was eager to please her and follow her orders. But Su Bai actually said they weren't compatible and accused her of having wild thoughts??? Who's having wild thoughts? Who? Ah, this is infuriating!

This contrast made Wang Qingqing extremely displeased. Clenching her teeth, she vowed to make Su Bai pay during the Hundred Schools Tournament!

After Su Bai left, Bai Ningbing saw that Wang Qingqing was also quite upset with Su Bai and approached her with a sarcastic remark, "This year's juniors really lack manners!"

Wang Qingqing shot Bai Ningbing a glance, and all her frustration erupted. "Ha, and you have manners!"

With that, Wang Qingqing flipped her long hair and walked away, leaving Bai Ningbing standing there, his face turning dark with anger.

"I didn't even provoke you!"

Gu Yueqingshu witnessed this and sighed helplessly. Jiangzhou Martial Academy hadn't even started the competition, and two of the official team members were already at odds with Su Bai. It was rumored that Luo Yonghao didn't get along with Su Bai either, meaning three of the official team members had issues with him. Being the captain was going to be tough for Su Bai!

...

In the Imperial Capital Martial Academy, inside the principal's office, ten energetic students stood in a line. The principal of the Imperial Capital nodded in satisfaction and said, "Our Imperial Capital Martial Academy has always been the strongest in Long Nation, and many prestigious schools envy the resources we receive."

"We must show the world why our Imperial Capital Martial Academy is hailed as the strongest in Long Nation!"

"Wang Yang will be the captain for this Hundred Schools Tournament. We must take first place!"

The ten students saluted the principal respectfully and responded in unison, "Yes!"

Wang Yang's strength was enough to impress not only the Imperial Capital Martial Academy but also the entire young generation nationwide!

...

On the D-tier Myriad Races Battlefield, at the Great Wall Guardian Army Martial School, ten weapon-wielding prodigies were fiercely battling the beasts that surged like a tidal wave. Each of them had a steely determination, their movements precise and efficient. With each strike, a beast fell.

The leading youth, as sturdy as a tower with shoulders like mountain peaks, wielded a thousand-pound wolf-tooth club with ease, rendering a Silver Tier giant bear powerless!

The principal, wearing a major general's insignia, stood on the observation tower of the military base, watching the students' battle. Beside him stood the chief instructor, a colonel, who nodded approvingly as he observed through binoculars, "Not bad, not bad!"

"Our students' overall strength is impressive, especially their combat experience and mastery of battle techniques. Even the older generation of warriors may not surpass them by much."

"Sending these battle-hardened warriors to the Hundred Schools Tournament, isn't that a bit unfair?"

The principal allowed himself a rare smile, "The Hundred Schools Tournament? For these ten kids, it's like a vacation."

...

In the Magic Capital Martial Academy's combat training room, ten youths trained vigorously, their bodies enveloped in vibrant Qi and Blood. The room was filled with the dazzling glow of battle techniques. Among them, the captain, Bai Xiaohao, possessed an immensely thick Silver Tier Qi and Blood, effortlessly taking on three opponents at once!

The chief instructor entered the training room carrying a silver-white case, "Everyone, stop for a moment!"

"The school has just secured a batch of Bronze Tier Qi and Blood Pills for you. For the next three weeks, your sole task is to become stronger at any cost!"

"The Magic Capital will provide you with cultivation resources!"

"But in the Hundred Schools Tournament, you must deliver impressive results!"

"I've heard that Su Bai from Jiangzhou Martial Academy managed to kill a Silver Tier beast while still at the Bronze Tier. Recently, Jiangzhou Martial Academy has been gaining fame, boasting in the media about their plans to shine in this tournament and secure more resources."

"They're just an ordinary martial academy, yet they dare covet our prestigious school's resources!"

"If you encounter them, don't hold back!"

"Can you do it?"

The ten students, filled with disdain, thought to themselves, Jiangzhou Martial Academy? If it weren't for the recent beast attack incident, they wouldn't have even heard of this academy. Since they dare covet our resources, they can't blame us for being ruthless!

Immediately, the ten students shouted in unison, "We can!"

Whether it was ordinary martial academies or prestigious schools across Long Nation, everyone was actively preparing for the Hundred Schools Tournament. The strong martial academies were confident, while those with less strength were determined not to be outdone. Even if they couldn't claim the top spot, improving their school's ranking would mean more resources in the future.

Jiangzhou Martial Academy wasn't an isolated case among ordinary martial academies. Which principal of an ordinary martial academy wouldn't want their school to be stronger and have more resources?

...

Meanwhile, Su Bai didn't pay any attention to his teammates' attitudes, nor did he feel any tension about preparing for the competition. His mind was preoccupied with how to feed the two gluttons at home!

These two battle pets were truly insatiable!
