Chapter 559 Strangle · Vine Ocean (1/2)

After six consecutive matches, it was finally Tiange Academy's turn to enter the scene.

”Principal, why don't we follow Huawu University, who sent only two Lord-tier Monsters?” Wei Gongfan was excited to give it a try.

Gao Peng looked at him with caring eyes. ”I will break your leg if you dare to do so. What's the point of competing if you can't even show basic respect to your opponent?”

This sentence sounded like it made sense. However, the thought of the principal's actions felt so strange… Gods may do what cattle may not.

Upon seeing five pairs of doubtful eyes, Gao Peng coughed and said, ”All right, since you all want to beat Huawu University. First of all, you must do better than Huawu University in performance and also in other aspects; only in this way we can take over the title of champions from Huawu University, who were champion last year.”

The five little ones suddenly realized that the principal was up to no good.

”Cao Huan, you take the Sky Sparrow to the arena. Do not take Canine Flower.” Gao Peng knew for sure that someone was aware that Tiange Academy's Lord-tier monster was Storm Sparrow. It would rouse suspicion for sure if they didn't take Storm Sparrow out to play.

”Don't expose your real power after you go into the arena. Hold back the Lord-tier aura first. If the opponent has a Lord-tier monster, then send Sky Sparrow… use Storm Sparrow to impede. Let the Devil Vine Mountain Climbing Monster use vines to remotely strangle the opponent if the Lord-tier monster isn't in the arena.”

Mo Yingming smiled. ”Understood, principal. Just hide our real ability; we get it.”

”Audience and friends, next up is Tiange Academy and Luoyang University.”

They were the only two teams with odd numbers that had been brought forward in the draw for the first round of the competition. Moreover, their rankings were very close to each other, as in the previous competition, one of them had ranked seventh, while the other ranked eighth!

They were only one rank apart. Thus, it was believed that this would be a cutthroat competition, just like a fight between a dragon and a tiger.

In one of the deluxe villas of the Freedom Alliance, a luxurious leather sofa occupied almost the entire living room, the dull brown animal skin spanning dozens of square yards, its thick hair as dense as a waterfall. After going through a special treatment, one could gently lean back and sit in it, their butt fitting perfectly into the sofa.

On the sofa, a middle-aged man with dark hair and light wrinkles at the corners of his eyes asked firmly, ”Who do you think will win?”

Beside him was a man of a similar age wearing a black jacket. His head was leaning against the sofa, and while slowly swinging his legs, he said, ”As long as there are no accidents, sure enough, Tiange Academy will win. After all, isn't that little kid back? So we'll see how they'll win.”

”What you did a few days ago was a bit stingy.” The middle-aged man who had been talking earlier took a glance at his little brother. ”Gao Peng hasn't decided which team to stand for, and you were pushing him to side with He Wei.”

The man in the black jacket looked at his brother and yawned. ”All right, I'll be more careful to not reveal my intentions next time.” He stood up from the sofa after he finished talking.

When the middle-aged man was about to continue lecturing, the black-jacketed man suddenly turned his head almost 180 degrees, just like an owl turning its head, and glared at his brother, who was sitting on the sofa.

”Don't forget about the rules of the Situ family; you are the eldest brother. You have been the master of the family since you were born, and you have enjoyed all the dignity, but I'm just a dog raised in the dark by the Situ family! I'm merely a dog, and you still expect me to understand human language?”

The smile on the black-jacketed man's face slowly became hideous. ”Let me tell you, when a dog goes mad… it will bite anyone, no matter who! Don't act like you did when you were little, always giving attitude and lecturing me!” He then waved his hand, turned around, and left the villa without even looking back.

Watching his brother's back disappear around the corner, the Situ family member's facial expression slowly pieced back together as his state of mind quieted down.

...

A student from Luoyang University mumbled to himself, ”Huh, I'm not sure whether this is just a mistake, but the Tiange Academy familiar opposite us is giving me a strange feeling.”

”What feeling?” someone beside him asked.

”A strange, heavy feeling.” The student who had started talking first smiled. ”Maybe it's wrong. It could be me being too nervous.”

On the other side, the teacher leading Huawu University asked a bald-headed man beside him, ”Have you found anything?”

The bald-headed man shook his head. ”No. There haven't been any changes to the familiars. They're still the same familiars that we have information for.”
