257 Where’s Your Contracted Beast? (1/2)

”Just what are you doing? Why couldn't the Soul Shadow Nail stop the girl who could use Fire?” Shen Mingxiao said unwillingly to Peng Liang.

Peng Liang was dumbfounded. When she walked down from the arena, it seemed as though she didn't want to give any face to Shen Mingxiao as she retorted,”What? The reason why we lost was my fault?”

Shen Mingxiao's face immediately sank as he returned to the group in frustration.

Peng Liang was also smiling coldly. He didn't want to put up a front in front of Shen Mingxiao. Either way, he didn't think that this Shen Mingxiao had much ability to begin with.

Luo Song was even worse. Xu Dalong had said a couple of mocking words afterwards, which caused him to nearly rush back into the arena and start another fight. It simply made him far too angry.

”Alright, go and rest up to the side,” Gu Han advised the few people who were currently nursing their internal strife.

”Mr. Gu Han! Let me go up in the next round. I still have some power that I had yet to unleash!” Shen Mingxiao immediately asked Mr. Gu Han.

Shen Mingxiao was not happy about this. In one aspect it was because Peng Liang was a dreg of the Shadow Element. He was also not happy with Zhao Manyan's passive battle style.

Just how were these two people chosen as exchange students? They were useless when it came to practical combat, it was like two vs four. If they hadn't lost then it would've been strange.

”The next round of people have been confirmed. It's Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao, Song Xia, and Zheng Bingxiao,” Gu Han stated.

”You might as well have me go next round instead of having that pretentious Mo Fan go. I will definitely win the next round for us, Mr. Guhan. Or could it be that you think we will lose both of the rounds?” Shen Mingxiao's mood was clearly affected, and he was no longer pretending.

”This…” Gu Han glanced at Mo Fan and then back to Shen Mingxiao, who was very determined.

From their battle, Shen Mingxiao's strength was indeed the strongest out of the four. However, a loss was a loss. Gu Han had no reason to haveMo Fan stand down.

”Mr. Gu Han, the compatibility between these four students is a little bit off. The Imperial College clearly came prepared. There isn't much of a gap between our students and theirs. But in terms of compatibility and teamwork, they are far more outstanding compared to ours. Zheng Bingxiao is a Summoner, and so is Mo Fan. The two people whose majors are Summoning are simply not as effective when they're in the same arena,” Mr. Li Jing said.

Li Jing had come to the Imperial College before Gu Han and Qiu Yuhua. He was primarily responsible for the communication between the exchanges. Mo Fan wasn't there this morning, so he didn't know there was another teacher taking care of the team.

This female teacher appeared to be siding with Shen Mingxiao. She added oil to the fire while Gu Han was slightly hesitant.

The thing was, Gu Han also thought Mr. Li Jing had a good point. Out of the four people in the second group, two of them had Summoning as their primary Element. He was not saying that the Summoning Element was bad, it's just, in case it was countered by the opposite side, then they would be guaranteed a loss.

In that moment, Zheng Bingxiao opened his mouth.”Since it's like that, then Shen Mingxiao, you can take my spot.”

Shen Mingxiao raised his eyebrow. He actually wanted to take Mo Fan's spot. However, since someone else took the initiative to give that spot away, then that was good as well.

”Zheng Bingxiao, are you sure you want to do that?” Mr. Gu Han asked, feeling a bit surprised.

”Don't worry, don't worry. It's all for our victory. Since Shen Mingxiao believes that he can win, then I might as well just give up on my spot.” Zheng Bingxiao didn't want to fight about that spot as he displayed a considerate appearance.

Mo Fan and Zheng Bingxiao could be considered classmates. When they spoke of the six people from the Summoning Element, the only person who was able to contend against Mo Fan was Zheng Bingxiao. The other people could only revere them.

”Then go ahead. Make sure you don't lose this time,” Qiu Yuhua said.

”Don't worry, I definitely won't!” Shen Mingxiao said with confidence.

Shen Mingxiao was more prepared now. When he saw the eye-sore Mo Fan in the same team, he recalled the Peng Liang who was a major obstruction for him. He immediately said to Mo Fan with a bad attitude, ”You better listen to my instructions later, don't make any rash decisions on your own! If we lose, then you won't be able to compensate us for it! This is something that affects the reputation of our entire Pearl Institute!”
