Chapter 53: Chapter 52: Just and Honorable

“Bai Qi successfully challenged, points inherited.”
The referee checked the condition of the Mighty Frog and, confirming that it had lost its fighting ability, announced the result of the match.
“Damn, this guy, he’s really cunning!”
Seeing that Tian Ping was actually defeated by such means, Shi Yong was righteously indignant, wishing he could charge up and give Bai Qi a good lesson.
“It’s my loss.”
As the lead character who took the surprise blow, Tian Ping quickly cooled down after a brief burst of anger. He walked in front of Bai Qi and said, “Your beast is very powerful. We should exchange pointers again when there’s a chance.”
“Yeah, a fair and square exchange.”
Tian Ping wasn’t a fool; the Mighty Frog was already at the first stage – stage eight. Even with a sneak attack, it wasn’t one that could be defeated with one blow.
So the only explanation was that the skull itself was very strong.
“Alright, if there’s a chance.”
Bai Qi nodded, and then looked at Alpha, saying, “I told you not to backstab. What’s the difference with this surprise attack? Although it’s very effective, a frontal assault is also very necessary.”
Creak, creak.
Alpha seemed to understand and nodded. Then he saw another student from Haoli Dojo coming up to the stage.
“Haoli Dojo, Junior Beast Master Liu Fengyu, here to challenge!”
Liu Fengyu’s face was full of disdain. He glared maliciously at Bai Qi and Alpha, as if he wanted to devour them.
Well, his hostility had obviously reached its peak.
Bai Qi forcefully knocked on Alpha, saying, “Gusu City Junior Beast Master, Bai Qi.”
Liu Fengyu snorted and then summoned his pet beast.
It was a huge mosquito with knotted muscles.
[Name]: Muscular Mosquito
[Race]: Combat System, Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Electric Sting, Harden, Using Force to Throw, Million-Weight Punch
Another combat system pet beast, and it also had short-term flying ability. Although its level was obviously lower than Tian Ping’s Mighty Frog, it was not weak.
Seeing Liu Fengyu summon the Muscular Mosquito, President Qin said to Headmaster Wen beside him, “Headmaster Wen, you do have quite a variety of beasts here. This kind of beast is not commonly seen in Gusu City.”
“Haha… If President Qin wants it, I shall send you a couple of them after the match?”
“Then I would be rude to refuse.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a deal was reached with just two sentences.
“Are both contestants ready? The match begins!”
The moment the referee’s word ended, Liu Fengyu roared out, and the Muscular Mosquito also flapped its wings and quickly flew towards Alpha.
This kind of opponent who relies on sneak attacks to win is definitely not able to withstand a single blow as long not given time to hide.
Therefore, Liu Fengyu used his full strength from the start.
“Muscular Mosquito, Million-Weight Punch!”
Although the Muscular Mosquito was not small in size, it moved with great agility and changeability once its wings flapped. Coupled with the
Million-Weight Punch, one would never know from where the attack would come.
“Alpha, make it quick.”
Creak, creak.
(Understood.)
A glint of fire in Alpha’s eyes, tightly gripping his filial sword, he swung it at the Muscular Mosquito that was attacking him with giant punches.
Sharp ice blades flew out from the Ice Sword in an instant, blocking the space in front of him. Although the Muscular Mosquito avoided them with its agile flying skills, its skill was forcibly interrupted.
“Muscular Mosquito, again, directly attack!”
Seeing Bai Qi block the Muscular Mosquito’s attack in this way, Liu Fengyu was somewhat annoyed and issued instructions again.
Buzz buzz…
The Muscular Mosquito nodded and once again launched a million punches at Alpha. Suddenly, countless bones enveloped within Shadow Department Power rose from the ground, engulfing the Muscular Mosquito like a black rose.
“This…”
Seeing the dense shadow energy in the Shadow Lotus Skill, Liu Fengyu stood stunned. He wanted to direct the Muscular Mosquito to break free, but the mosquito did not dare to move a bit.
At such a close distance, the Muscular Mosquito could clearly feel the dark energy above. This energy could significantly injure them, creatures of the Combat System.
Feeling the Muscular Mosquito’s strong resistance, Liu Fengyu had no choice but to give up.
“Bai Qi is the victor, points continue.”
“Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?”
The referee timely declared the result of the match, paused, and added a sentence.
With his experience, he could naturally see that Alpha was holding back. Unless there was an accident, the rest of the contestants would not necessarily be his opponents even if they sequentially faced him.
Indeed, upon hearing the referee’s inquiry, the Haoli Dojo and the Gusu City team members all fell silent.
First Tian Ping, then Liu Fengyu.
Both of these contestants had considerable strength, but both were easily defeated by Bai Qi.
Looking at Alpha’s current state, it was clear there was no exhaustion, so a prolonged war of attrition wouldn’t work.
After waiting a while and seeing no one stepping onto the stage, the referee, receiving a nod from Headmaster Wen, cleared his throat.
“Since no one is challenging, then I declare this contest’s champion is Bai Qi of Gusu City!”
Hearing the referee announce the result, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, and he looked expectantly at Headmaster Wen, who was slowly approaching.
The flyers didn’t mention how much the prize money was, but the Haoli Dojo should be fairly generous, being a large dojo and all.
Headmaster Wen came up to Bai Qi, looked him up and down, and laughed, “Gusu City is indeed full of talents, even able to develop such a powerful beast from such a weak teenager. It seems our dojo’s training is not enough.”
Saying this, Headmaster Wen glared at the direction of the Haoli Dojo, and said, “Starting today, do 100 push-ups, too sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day. Got it?”
“Got it!”
All the students of the Haoli Dojo answered in unison, their voices even drowning out the noise from the audience below.
Just because someone is weak doesn’t mean they can’t train a powerful beast. Are all the Beast Masters of your Haoli Dojo supposed to fight themselves?
Hearing Headmaster Wen’s words, Bai Qi muttered to himself, but thinking about the award he was waiting for, he forced himself to endure.
After boosting morale, Headmaster Wen, satisfied with his own students’ performance, took an envelope from the attendant’s hand and presented it to Bai Qi, saying, “This is the prize money for this championship.
Congratulations.”
“As for the other materials, you’ll have to choose.”
Headmaster Wen extended his large hand, offering two stones, one red and one blue, to Bai Qi.
“These two stones, the Blast Stone, and the Thunder Stone, are part of my private collection as for their specific uses…”
Headmaster Wen pointed at the Blast Stone and said, “You’ve seen the effect of the Blast Stone just now. It can increase your attack with Blast Power.”
“While the effect of the Thunder Stone is quite similar, it’s replaced with a Thunder Attack.”
“Both of these stones are Epic materials, they just differ in attribute.1
“So, have you decided which one to choose?”
