Chapter 1981: Releasing Mystic Beasts

Their luck couldn’t be this bad, right?

Sha Gua dazedly held that number 3 stick. He checked it again closely, but still discovered that the number 3 stick was still that number 3 stick. It didn’t change a bit!

Sha Gua really wanted to bawl on the spot!

What in the world was going on? Why was Heaven playing this kind of trick on him!

He didn’t want to get matched up against Miss Qiao’s team one bit!

What kind of sin did he commit for him to draw such a savage little lady?

Everybody couldn’t help but be curious when they saw that Sha Gua looked like he was about to faint. They gave him a look-over.

An acquaintance couldn’t help teasing, “Sha Gua, what’s wrong? What kind of strange face are you making! Your team is quite lucky!”

After all, this Apex Academy wasn’t some famed academy, nor did it rank as a strong academy.

It was naturally a piece of cake for River Horse Academy to defeat this kind of nameless academy and advance with no problem!

Yet who knew—

River Horse Academy’s captain Sha Gua gazed aggrievedly at the peanut gallery and snapped, “You guys know sh*t!”

This group of ignorant bystanders was simply eager to fan the flames!

He was already anxious to death, okay?

He didn’t expect their academy to get eliminated in just the third round of the semifinals during this time’s competition. It was truly too early!

In contrast, Qiao Mu sized up River Horse Academy’s captain Sha Gua curiously before skipping down the stage.

Just as she returned to the seating area, the head referee Elder Hong walked onto the stage with a smile. He announced, “Everyone, the third round of the semifinals of the much-anticipated academy ranking competition is about to commence. Before we start, a team has chosen to publicly challenge another in a battle!”

The entire arena was in an uproar. A lot of people in the audience who were unaware of the situation shouted exuberantly.

As Elder Hong finished speaking, Gu Liuli led Zhao Li and the other people in her team slowly up the stage, receiving everybody’s scrutinizing gazes.

“As this battle’s challenger, Catkin Academy will be carrying out a fair battle with Apex Academy!” Elder Hong performed an inviting gesture with his hand. “Will Apex Academy’s students come up on stage.”

While accompanied by fervent applause, Duanmu Qing nonchalantly led the other seven students of Apex Academy up on stage.

“The competition is about to begin.” Elder Hong flipped over the hourglass beside him and informed with a smile, “The competition will be limited to one hour.”

Catkin Academy’s Zhao Li moved first, hurling his fist at Qiao Mu with air currents.

Yet Qiao Mu did not even look at him to dodge. At the same time, Duanmu Qing and Qi Xuanxuan surrounded him and each flung a surge of spiritual energy at Zhao Li’s face.

Both parties had executed deadly attacks. If Duanmu and Xuanxuan were to hit their marks, the unlucky Zhao Li would lose half his life if not die.

Zhao Li roared furiously and immediately summoned his mystic beast with a stomp.

That mystic beast seemed a bit like an ox, but it didn’t have horns on its bead. It did have an extremely brutal appearance and promptly attempted to bite Qi Xuanxuan’s forearm.

However, Qi Xuanxuan stayed calm and unfazed. She released her golden-fur lion with a wave of her hand.

The golden-fur lion was very brutal and bit Zhao Li’s leg at once, tearing off a chunk of flesh on the spot. It hurt so much that Zhao Li dropped to the ground and rolled back and forth while yelling in pain.

Gu Liuli was livid, and she abruptly swung her sword at Qi Xuanxuan. “How dare you use such a murderous attack?”
