Chapter 2033: Is It Because Your Summoned Beast Is Too Weak?
The academy’s tournament was a one-on-one competition. There would be several fights happening simultaneously on different stages with the top 50 being chosen to enter the finals.
Only the matches of the top 50 could be called intense and brilliant. As such, right now it was just a warm-up match.
Ning Shu was currently facing a student whose summoned beast was a wolf.
This boy saw that Ning Shu hadn’t even taken out her summoned beast and sneered a little, “Why aren’t you taking out your summoned beast?”
“Is it because your summoned beast is too weak?” The boy’s expression was incomparably relaxed.
Summoned beasts were their summoner’s pride and joy. Thus most summoners were extremely happy to release their summoned beasts. The only exception was when someone’s summoned beast was too weak or ugly.
Ning Shu was expressionless.
“Since you won’t release your summoned beast, then I won’t have mercy on you. Don’t expect kindness just because you’re a girl.” The boy moved his neck a bit and waved at his summoned beast. “Go snap her neck.”
The wolf viciously bared its teeth at Ning Shu, crouched, then lunged toward her.
Ning Shu stood still and didn’t move.
“Are you that scared?” The boy curled his lip and waited for the duel to end with a relaxed expression.
Ning Shu looked at the wolf that was charging towards her, and directly stuck out her foot and kicked the fiendish wolf off the ring.
The boy stared stupidly as his summoned beast fell off the stage, and the complacent expression on his face froze.
“You…” The boy pointed at Ning Shu with a very aggrieved expression…
“Yue Shuangshuang wins.” The instructor shouted loudly.
“Instructor, she didn’t even summon her beast, it’s not fair!” the boy shouted.
The instructor said with a stern face, “Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? She defeated you even without a summoned beast, yet you have the face to call that unfair.”
The boy dispiritedly hung his head and descended the arena.
Ning Shu returned to her seat. Instructor Wen, who was sitting in front of the students, turned his head, looked at Ning Shu, and asked, “Have you started practicing martial arts?”
Ning Shu nodded. “Yes.”
“Very good. However, you are a summoner – you still have to find a way to cultivate your summoned beast.” Instructor Wen’s expression was gentle.
“Thank you, Instructor,” Ning Shu said gratefully.
“Don’t feel too pressured. You by yourself won’t likely be able to match your opponent who has themselves and their beast. How far you get to will just be how far you get to.” Instructor Wen didn’t want Ning Shu to put too much pressure on herself. It was also because he knew that Ning Shu wouldn’t be able to reach the end.
Ning Shu hummed in agreement, then looked towards the arena where Lian Bingmeng was dueling.
Lian Bingmeng’s summoned beast in this battle was the chubby, fleshy winged dragon. It very arrogantly plucked off all of the opponent’s summoned beast’s fur.
That summoned beast originally looked like a lion, mighty and domineering. But after its fur was all plucked off, it only looked funny as it stood there, pitifully skinny and naked.
The lion summoned beast immediately hid behind its owner, amusing the audience.
The owner’s face was also a bright red. He panickedly put his summoned beast away and ran offstage with his tail between his legs.
The adorable fleshy winged dragon jumped into Lian Bingmeng’s arms with a cute look on its face.
Lian Bingmeng couldn’t help but poke at the fleshy winged dragon with a doting expression. “Seriously, how can you pluck off all their fur?”
“Lian Bingmeng wins.”
Lian Bingmeng got off the arena holding the fleshy winged dragon, sat down next to Ning Shu, and asked Instructor Wen who was in front, “Instructor, what do you think of my battle just now?”
Instructor Wen was silent for a while, before he finally said, “Summoned beasts, like humans, also have dignity.”
“Yeah, I’ve always respected my summoned beasts and treated them as friends. I’ve never thought of them as animals,” Lian Bingmeng said with a smile, petting the cute fleshy winged dragon.
The fleshy winged dragon stretched out its tongue and licked Lian Bingmeng’s face in an incomparably intimate manner.
