CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: SHEN RUOXUE... GRAVELY INJURED!

On the high platform.

The City Lord of Lin Yuan, Xia Xiu, saw Shen Ruoxue stagger once again from the Spiritual Shock of the Enchanting Demon, and finally couldn’t help but speak:

"Vice Principal Chen," his voice was moderate, yet it brought a silence over the entire high platform.

"This match is a bit too much!"

Chen Yan’s smile froze for a moment, then he resumed an even brighter smile:

"City Lord Xia, you’re overstating it. It’s inevitable for young people to overreach in competitions."

"Ziming has always been measured, wouldn’t you agree, Brother Chen?"

Chen Shan stroked his beard, a trace of pride flickering in his eyes.

"Naturally, my son knows his limits well, City Lord, you are overthinking."

Xia Xiu saw the two harmonizing, and his gaze gradually darkened.

There was no point in continuing the match on the platform.

But seeing their attitude, it was evident they wanted to allow Chen Ziming to continue humiliating that girl in the ring.

Xia Xiu’s fist slightly clenched, but in the end, he didn’t voice a stop.

The iron rule of Longxia Country—

Separation of military and government; independent operation of the education system!

Even as the City Lord of Lin Yuan, he had no right to interfere in the college entrance examination matters.

He originally need not attend the arena in person, but out of curiosity about this SSS-Class genius personally taken away by Wei Yuan, he came to watch.

But unexpectedly...

Before Gu Xing could make a move, he encountered these two giving him trouble.

Seeing the Chen father and son brazenly condoning, Xia Xiu snorted coldly, saying nothing more.

Just that...

His gaze on Chen Ziming became increasingly cold.

On the platform.

Chen Ziming seemed to have grown tired.

He waved his hand languidly, and the Enchanting Demon immediately stopped its attacking action.

At this moment, that alluring figure slightly trembled, and an unnatural flush rose on the pale cheeks.

As a Contracted Beast, she was not supposed to strike humans.

But Chen Ziming’s command had her break this taboo!

Earlier when attacking Shen Ruoxue.

She felt a desire deep within suddenly released.

Seeing Shen Ruoxue powerless against her, an unprecedented pleasure surged through her body.

At this abrupt halt, she unwillingly licked her lips.

Ultimately, she suppressed that rampant impulse, obediently retreating to the side.

Chen Ziming leisurely walked over to Shen Ruoxue.

Looking down on the girl collapsed on the ground, covered in blood.

"Tell me," he crouched down, his voice held danger.

"What exactly is your relationship with Gu Xing? You willingly delayed for him earlier?"

Shen Ruoxue struggled to lift her head, blood sliding down her forehead, staining her vision red.

Yet those eyes stubbornly remained open, a defiant mockery flickering in them.

She spat out a mouthful of blood:

"Cough...Why should I...tell you?"

Chen Ziming’s smile deepened abruptly, but it sent chills down one’s spine.

"No matter, your relationship with him is of no importance to me!"

"As long as you answer one question, I will let you concede with dignity, how about that?"

Seeing Shen Ruoxue still cold-eyed, he continued talking to himself:

"Who do you think is stronger...me or Gu Xing? Remember...think carefully before answering!"

He emphasized heavily on the last few words.

As long as this woman wasn’t foolish, she should understand his implied meaning.

Yet.

Shen Ruoxue suddenly laughed.

Blood dripped down her chin, but it couldn’t hide the mockery in her eyes:

"Chen Ziming, you’re truly pathetic! Is this all you can do?"

Pronouncing clearly one word at a time:

"Compared to Gu Xing..."

"You’re far off!"

These three words, like sharp blades, instantly pierced through Chen Ziming’s facade.

His pupils suddenly constricted, his face twisted for a moment.

"Very well!"

He stood up abruptly, snapping his fingers at the Enchanting Demon.

The Enchanting Demon’s crimson tongue swept over its fangs, eyes glinting with morbid excitement.

"Crack!"

A crisp bone-cracking sound resounded through the arena.

Shen Ruoxue trembled violently, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she swallowed back the cries of pain.

Large beads of sweat mixed with blood rolled down, forming a dark red puddle beneath her.

"Awoo——!"

The Snow Shadow Wolf struggled desperately, its white fur oozing mottled bloody marks.

But under the Enchanting Demon’s terrifying spiritual pressure, it could only emit an unwilling whimper, ultimately forced to lie prone on the stage, limbs twitching violently.

A Tier Five excellent Talent Snow Shadow Wolf and a Tier Eight Epic Talent Enchanting Demon.

The gulf between them was like a chasm!

The Enchanting Demon could completely suppress this Snow Shadow Wolf with only its Spiritual Attribute.

Chen Ziming leisurely tidied his sleeves, nudging Shen Ruoxue’s face with the toe of his boot:

"You should be grateful this is on the platform!"

Chen Ziming turned, then lightly tossed out a command:

"Enchanting Demon, kill the wolf!"

Upon hearing this, even Shen Ruoxue, who was trembling from the pain, froze.

But the next moment, overwhelming panic engulfed her.

Her Guardian Beast...was going to be killed?

Even under the Enchanting Demon’s attack, the battered girl never cried out in pain, yet now tears instantly slipped from the corners of her eyes.

In this moment, she was afraid!

"Chen Ziming, please.....please, don’t!"

However.

Chen Ziming, turning away, didn’t pause his steps at all.

"Too late!"

Enchanting Demon licked the corner of its mouth, and the next moment appeared in front of the Snow Shadow Wolf.

"No... don’t..."

In Shen Ruoxue’s despairing eyes.

The Enchanting Demon’s slender tail tip pierced like a blade into the Snow Shadow Wolf’s brow, bringing forth a spray of crimson blood.

The Beast Taming Contract abruptly severed...

Coupled with the impact of the Guardian Beast’s death!

Shen Ruoxue violently spat a mouthful of blood, then like a cut marionette, fainted on the arena.

All the spectators who saw this scene were momentarily stunned.

"It seems like that Guardian Beast was killed by Chen Ziming! Such behavior...is against the rules, isn’t it?"

"Yet until the end, the referee didn’t stop it, there’s a problem, right?"

"Haven’t you noticed, Chen Ziming’s opponents always seem to end up badly?"

"Listening to you say it, it does seem that way, not a single Guardian Beast walked off the platform intact, the most miserable being Shen Ruoxue! Even her Guardian Beast was killed by Chen Ziming!"

"Shh, keep it down, the Vice Principal of Lin Yuan High also has the last name Chen, do you not want to participate in the next assessment?"

Amidst the noisy discussion, Chen Ziming slowly turned around, his gaze piercing through the crowd directly at Gu Xing.

He curled his lips into a victorious arc, mouthing silently:

"Opposing me...do you qualify?"

Just that.

Facing Chen Ziming’s provocation, Gu Xing was extremely calm.

But standing beside him, Liu Li could clearly feel...

The coldness emanating from the master was almost freezing the air.

"Liu Li," Gu Xing’s voice was chillingly calm, "when it’s your turn, go all out."

The little angel nodded heavily.

Even her, naturally kind-hearted, at this moment, had rare anger ignited in her eyes.
