Chapter 33
Defending the Arena!
Looking at the woman and dog standing on the field, the audience who saw the battle scene on the broadcast screen were directly stunned.
“Is this dog also considered as an ability?”
“Um, that seems to be the case. I just saw the notice from the academy saying that Su Qingqing and Bai Tao are both beast tamers?”
“Beast tamer? What’s that?”
“It means exactly what it says. It means that they can control mutated beasts, right? Isn’t that dog a mutated beast?”
“Damn, another one who’s been burned to a bald head!”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Two days ago, Su Qingqing…”
Hearing the discussion of the students behind, the people from the Mutant Academy and the army in the audience frowned as they looked at the arena.
They knew about the existence of beasts.
Yang Wei, Hong Zhijun, and the few soldiers with the “Iron Back Pigs” did not have the Beast Taming Illustration.
Such big pigs and turtles were not so easy to hide.
Therefore, these middle and higher-ups had also heard of it.
However, no one took it seriously.
At most, it was a rare sight.
However, from the situation just now, people were starting to find it interesting!
“Vice President Yang, is that bastard turtle of yours also so powerful?”
Hearing his colleague’s words, Yang Wei smiled mysteriously.
“I can’t say for sure. After all, it has never competed.”
The commotion outside the arena did not affect Su Qingqing.
She looked at Zhou Liang, who had been burned bald and his clothes had become a battle-damaged version, as he was carried down.
She did not leave immediately and walked towards the referee at the side.
Hu Yan smiled as he looked at Su Qingqing walking towards him. Just as he was about to praise this girl he had watched grow up, he heard Su Qingqing say, “Teacher Hu, I… I want to choose to defend the arena.”
“What? Defend?!”
Hu Yan was so surprised that his voice became sharp.
“You have to think carefully. You have to defeat ten people in a row to succeed.
“Moreover… Moreover, your father can’t give you any convenience in this matter.
“The challengers all signed up voluntarily. I can’t force all the level one contestants to fight you, right?
“Why don’t you consider it carefully?”
Looking at Hu Yan, who was suddenly trying to persuade her in a low voice, Su Qingqing smiled and shook her head.
“No, Teacher Hu. I’ve considered it.”
Looking at the determined Su Qingqing, Hu Yan still did not agree immediately.
“Then, does your father know?”
Su Qingqing shook her head.
“Hiss ~”
Hu Yan felt uncomfortable.
Why was such an obedient and cute girl suddenly so stubborn?
Looking at Su Hongcheng below the stage, Hu Yan gritted his teeth and did not continue persuading.
In any case, with Dean Su around, he would not let anything happen to his daughter.
“Alright, I’ll inform them now.”
Seeing this, Su Qingqing smiled and nodded.
Below the arena, Bai Tao looked at Su Qingqing and asked in confusion, “Why hasn’t Qingqing come down yet?”
Su Hongcheng also frowned. Then, he thought of something and had a helpless expression.
In the next second, the loudspeaker in the stadium sounded.
“Arena 3, Su Qingqing, has chosen to defend the arena.
“Now, the students of Arena 3 can challenge.”
The voice from the loudspeaker made the rather noisy voices at the scene quiet for two seconds. Then, they instantly became even more intense and could even be said to be fiery.
As long as one was a student of the academy, they would know the name Su Qingqing.
The daughter of the dean, Su Hongcheng.
However, what made her even more famous was that as the daughter of a level six expert, she had never awakened her ability.
This matter would be mentioned a few times every year when new students entered the school.
To everyone’s surprise, she had actually finally awakened her ability.
“Defending the arena? Su Qingqing? Did I hear wrongly?”
“I didn’t hear wrongly. It seems that she has awakened her ability.”
“An awakening shouldn’t be enough for her to defend the arena, right? Could it be that she thinks just because she’s a level one mutant who has just awakened a talent, she can challenge someone above her level?”
“Then maybe she’s been enduring humiliation in the past and waiting to shock the world today?”
“Damn, is this a feel-good novel?!”
“Interesting. I remember that two powerful figures were assigned to arena 3 ~”
“I know. That idiot Xu Jun and the genius of the Jiang family, Jiang An.”
Below the arena, the “steady” Xu Jun’s expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten something.
He looked at Su Hongcheng not far from him and discovered that Dean Su’s face was expressionless. Only then did he rush in front of Hu Yan, who had already come down to manage affairs related to the challenge.
“Teacher Hu, I, I, I!”
However, someone was faster than him.
“Xu Jun, you want to admit defeat after registering, right?”
Looking at the handsome boy in front of him, Xu Jun glared at him.
“It’s none of your business!”
The boy smiled indifferently and handed his student card to Hu Yan.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get her to come down later. You probably won’t have a chance to admit defeat.”
Seeing Xu Jun suppress his anger, the boy smiled.
“Oh, actually… You can also admit defeat in front of me.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a chance to admit defeat ~”
Xu Jun, who had been chanting the word “steady” in his heart, could not help but say.
“Jiang An, I’ve been holding it back for a long time…”
After yelling at the other party, Xu Jun rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make a move.
His lackeys were so frightened that they immediately started pulling him back.
“Brother Jun, calm down! You have to be steady!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Perhaps Su Qingqing is watching you over there!”
Seeing that Xu Jun looked like an angry bull, Jiang An shrugged.
“Don’t worry, on account of Dean Su, I won’t let Su Qingqing lose too badly.
“However, I will make sure she learns her lesson!
“I should be the one defending the arena!”
With that said, Jiang An walked to Hu Yan’s side with a dark expression.
Hu Yan looked at the gloomy student in front of him and sighed silently for Su Qingqing in the arena.
“Are you sure you want to be the first to go on stage?”
“Yes, I’m also the first to register, right?”
Hu Yan waved his hand and gestured for Jiang An to go up.
When this student called Jiang An walked onto the arena that was only half the height of a person, the commotion at the scene became even louder.
At the same time, the cameras of the three elders on the top also flew to Arena 3 where Su Qingqing was.
At this moment, the entire stadium’s broadcast screen turned into the scene of this arena.
This was also the academy’s previous rule.
In the beginning, many students wanted to use this method to become famous.
The academy’s selection competition had been held for 11 years, but only five people had successfully defended the arena.
“It’s him?! Jiang An!”
“Damn it, Su Qingqing encountered a tough opponent as soon as she arrived!”
“I heard that Jiang An was prepared to defend the arena this time. I didn’t expect Su Qingqing to beat him to it.”
“No wonder his expression is so ugly.”
“How long do you think Su Qingqing can last?”
“Three minutes?”
“You’re being too generous. One minute!”
Below the arena, Su Hongcheng looked at Jiang An in the arena and frowned slightly.
“Shop Owner Lin, how’s that little guy’s combat ability?”
Lin Ye did not expect Su Hongcheng to suddenly ask this.
“What’s wrong? He’s very powerful. Didn’t you see it just now?”
