Everyone in the square was utterly shocked, as if witnessing an impossible scene.
The two-headed centipede was annihilated!
The steel-haired boar was slaughtered!
Remember, these were first-order fierce beasts.
Principal Zhang Fenghe, however, felt a pang of regret. Extracting fierce beast blood from their bodies was a complicated process. With the two-headed centipede obliterated and the steel-haired boar squashed, how could they extract the blood now?
In a moment of regret, Principal Zhang Fenghe wished he hadn't agreed to Yechen's request. However, it was too late now; the words had been spoken, and he had to bear the consequences.
Thinking about the price of fierce beasts...
Zhang Fenghe's face twitched slightly. Just as Yechen and Lin Gensheng were preparing to go to the last cage, he finally stopped them.
"Wait!"
Yechen and Lin Gensheng halted, turning to look at Zhang Fenghe with confusion.
"Yechen, I believe you've gained enough combat experience. There's no need to continue," Zhang Fenghe said calmly, "Let's keep this Shadow Cat."
Yechen didn't expect Zhang Fenghe to say that, but considering the principal's decision, he decided to let it go.
Students from Sky Blue Academy and Galewind Academy left AnYue Academy. If they stayed any longer, they might as well find a hole to hide in.
A group of students surrounded Yechen, all wearing expressions of admiration.
"Yechen, you're not just the number one talent in AnYue Academy; you're the number one talent in the entire East Base City!"
"Exactly, Yechen is the number one talent among all students in East Base City. What are Mu Hai and Jin Cheng compared to him?"
Mu Hai was the number one talent in Sky Blue Academy, and Jin Cheng held the same title in Galewind Academy. However, neither of them attended this fierce beast observation.
"It seems that in the Tri-School Competition, Yechen will undoubtedly take first place."
In the Chinese education system, Yechen was currently a ninth-grade student, about to enter high school. If he secured first place, he would receive significant attention.
The Tri-School Competition selected students to attend the White Cloud Intermediate Cultivation Academy, with ten available slots.
As for students who didn't make it to the White Cloud Academy, they would enter other schools, but they would be lower-tier institutions.
...
As the Tri-School Competition approached, Yechen and Liang Qianqian continued practicing. Notably, Liang Qianqian became an advanced novice warrior.
Three days later, Yang Feng also became an advanced novice warrior.
Since they both possessed intermediate cultivation talent, reaching advanced novice warrior level was expected.
Yechen felt that he was about to advance to the one-star warrior level. Once he reached this level, an elemental sea would appear in his body, significantly increasing his elemental energy compared to when he was an advanced novice warrior.
