Everyone watched with bated breaths for a while, but when they saw that there were really no follow-up movements, they turned their attention back to the arena.
One of the Cao family's leaders came back to his senses and grabbed Tang Qin.
"What are you doing? Even if you want to provoke her, you shouldn't do it now!"
After all, they still had to leave Cao Zhihong some face. Of course, the most important thing was that the family leaders did not think that Tang Qin could defeat Shi Xunmei. If she lost, it would be so embarrassing!
Tang Qin shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "Oh! I'll provoke her after the fight then."
Shi Xunmei trembled with anger at "Cao Xinrui's" actions, but she still had to maintain a smile in front of others.
Feng Zhan was very excited, because she followed the sound of clapping and saw Tang Qin. The moment their eyes met, Feng Zhan could clearly feel the beast core in her body heating up. She felt very warm, and she subconsciously wanted to wave at Tang Qin...
Was that master? It had to be master! It only took her a few seconds to go from suspicion to certainty.
Everyone was stunned. Even the phoenix was trying to get on "Cao Xinrui's" good side? This woman must have an incredibly high spirit beast compatibility level!
Tang Qin saw Feng Zhan's movements and felt bitter. That was her life spirit beast. Even though it had been snatched away, it still recognized her.
However, Feng Zhan was very quickly and forcefully taken away by Shi Xunmei.
The arena was about to welcome the next round of competition.
The teachers from the Huanghe sect glanced at Tang Qin and said to the people beside them, "We have to be careful of this girl. We can't let the other two sects snatch her."
A teacher beside him hesitated. "But she's from a major family…"
"So what? There are many talented people in our sect. In the future, as long as their cultivation level is high, we will bring them all into our sect!"
According to him, only those people from the royal family were the most troublesome, because no matter what, they would eventually return to the royal family and could only represent the royal family. Furthermore, there were many children in the great families, so there would definitely be those who would be more willing to stay in the sect.
After a few rounds of competition, except for the people of the Canglan Kingdom who were a little excited, the other major forces were basically very calm and reserved.
Yan Nuanzhi pulled her fur cloak around her, and said with a look of disdain, "What is this? The level of the preliminaries is too low. What a waste of time." She looked at her family leader and asked, "Can't we leave first? I've already shown my respect for the Canglan Kingdom by coming here."
The Yan family leader shook his head and looked at 'Cao Xinrui', "We'll talk about it after she's finished her match."
Yan Nuanzhi furrowed her brows and looked nonchalant, especially when she saw 'Cao Xinrui's' average-looking face. "Family head, there's only a fire dog at her feet. It can barely be considered as an average carnivorous-based offensive dog. It can't even be compared to the snow wolf spirit beast that was trembling in fear, let alone the phoenix bone divine maider."
At this moment, the judge on the stage finally announced, " For the next match, Cao Xinrui from the Cao family will fight against Zhang He from the Canglan Kingdom's Medicine Valley."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Of course, it was not Cao Xinrui who was surprised, but the Medicine Valley. This was because the young talents of the Zhang family of the Medicine Valley had declined for several years in a row. They used to be as famous as the Cao family, but now they no longer had much power or influence. This was the reality. Without a talented younger generation, the older generation would gradually wither. The other families had many capable people, so they would naturally be squeezed out of the history books.
Tang Qin went on stage first, and Xiaoyao followed behind her slowly. He looked listless because he was tired and bored.
However, his lazy appearance made the Cao family leaders' hearts turn cold.
"We're happy that Xinrui's ability has improved, but her life spirit beast is still the same! How are we supposed to win these battles?"
"We should have let the princess represent us... We were too careless."
The other members of the Cao family also regretted it.
"Things are still not decided yet. The spirit beasts of the Medicine Valley are basically grass-type spirit beasts, so their offensive power will definitely be weaker. Moreover, there are very few talents among them, so our young miss might not lose!"
Hearing this, the family leaders also felt that their worries were unnecessary. "You guys are right."
Tang Qin did not underestimate her enemy. she observed the sickly man who coughed with every step he took. His skin was sickly white, but his eyes were gentle. He even smiled at Tang Qin.
Tang Qin looked around and asked directly, "Where is your spirit beast?"
"It's a little naughty and likes to play around. I'll summon it now."
After Zhang He finished speaking. the people in the audience laughed.
"Hahaha! naughty? It's probably because it's too weak. It's probably so weak that he's embarrassed to take it out in advance."
"That's right! What kind of strong offensive-type spirit beast can the people from the Medicine Valley have? He's too weak. I'm really afraid that he'll cough up blood before they even start fighting!"
…
Tang Qin could not help but frown as she heard everyone ridiculing her opponent.
