Chapter 1983: Reluctantly Admitting Defeat

Zhao Li rolled on the ground and shrunk behind the other people from Catkin Academy while screeching, “Liuli, Liuli!”

Gu Liuli hastily rushed over to block for him, and shouted at Qiao Mu, “Can this still be considered a fair competition when you’re using your sacred beast to bully others?”

Miss Qiao slowly gazed at her and declared with a nod, “Wealth is also part of a person’s ability!”

There was not a whit of untruth to this statement. Besides darkening her face, there was nothing Gu Liuli could rebut Qiao Mu with.

Although the little lady was arrogant, nothing she said was wrong.

This competition did not prohibit mystic beasts from entering battle.

It then follows that since they were able to enter battle, the strength of a mystic beast would certainly be the key factor to its master’s victory or defeat. She could only blame herself for having less favorable conditions.

If it all depended on their own abilities, she might not necessarily lose!

“Bloodfire, I’m counting on you!”

The bloodfire phoenix let out a proud shriek and flapped its wings before diving swiftly toward Zhao Li.

Upon seeing that the bloodfire phoenix was about to badly injure Zhao Li with a spray of flames, Gu Liuli flung her cape at the flames with a shout.

Everybody witnessed the fire phoenix’s flames burn that flying black cape into a crisp in a flash.

The bloodfire phoenix immediately got enraged and shrieked at Gu Liuli. It then circled around in the sky before diving down, spewing a streak of fire straight at Gu Liuli and Zhao Li.

With a whoosh, Gu Liuli and Zhao Li were trapped in a circle of flames. They stood back to back with extremely stiff expressions.

The bloodfire phoenix spread its wings in mid-air and glided for a semicircle, preparing for an attack to blast both people to death at once…

Catkin Academy’s mentor was finally unable to watch on, so he jumped up from the seating area with a scream, “Everyone stop! Our Catkin Academy admits defeat!!”

All the Catkin Academy students’ faces were green. They were practically unable to take a deep breath under the pressure of the ancient fire phoenix.

They truly didn’t expect that there would be such a monstrous student in Apex Academy who would even summon a sacred beast for the competition!

This was completely a whole ‘nother level of battle, alright?

Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t help but find it funny. She shook her head and remarked, “How audacious of you to randomly issue challenges to people whose abilities you are totally ignorant of?”

Pardon her for failing to do the same.

The bloodfire phoenix was chasing after the majority of the 12 Catkin Academy students. As for the remaining people, Duanmu Qing and them were able to take care of them. They didn’t even need to summon their mystic beasts and just had to go up and beat them with their fists.

Only the screaming wails of Catkin Academy’s students could be heard from the stage. Everybody sitting in the seating area was simply unable to look straight at them.

Was this the legendary asking to get beat up on stage?

When Catkin Academy’s mentor saw that the students from Apex Academy did not stop their attacks, he couldn’t resist glaring at Zhou Danjin, Wei Xu, and the other mentors. “Quickly tell your students to stop! It’s only a competition. Are you sure you even want people to die?”

Zhou Danjin rolled his eyes at him. “Stop with your rambling! What’s the use of admitting defeat outside the stage? Your students themselves haven’t even admitted defeat yet!”

“Liuli, don’t push yourself! Hurry and admit defeat!”

Gu Liuli felt a hint of repressed anger in her heart. Just because her family circumstances weren’t as prominent as the other party, she had to suffer this kind of humiliation?

She was born as a commoner, so her family background would never measure up to the mid and large scale patrician families.

That girl who casually summoned an ancient bloodfire phoenix was definitely the daughter of some great patrician family!
