NABC Chapter 37 Monster Appearance
Chapter 37 Monster Appearance
In the center of the arena, Zheng Ran raised his hand to suppress the cheers of the audience.
He enjoyed the feeling.
At that moment, the nine-tailed fox squatted at his feet, its fluffy tail gleaming with an icy blue light in the sunlight.
Second-tier form, dual attributes of ice and fire, eldest son of the Zheng Group—when these labels are combined, it is enough to make anyone stand tall and face any battle.
Zheng Ran looked at the sidelines, where Jiang Qianxun was playing with the Gulu Ball in her hand as she slowly entered the field.
He sneered, "Jiang Qianxun, this isn't our first time fighting."
"Actually, I'm quite disappointed. Winning against your Shui Lanlan with the Nine-Tailed Fox doesn't prove my strength."
Chihiro looked up, surprised, and asked, "What kind of strength do you have? A defeated opponent?"
Zheng Ran's smile froze, and he said angrily, "That was my carelessness!"
Chihiro chuckled: "Careless three times?"
"Shut up!" Zheng Ran gritted his teeth. "Right now, release your Shui Lanlan, and I'll give you a dignified defeat!"
"Hey, you're a really nice person."
Chihiro chuckled. She picked up the Gulu Ball, gave Lin Chong a meaningful look, and then turned to say something.
"Thanks, but—"
She gently tossed the purple premium gulu ball into the air.
A flash of white light appeared, but what appeared was not a clear blue.
In the arena, a wolf-like spirit with all-black fur stood proudly. It had a slender body, full muscles in its limbs, and white fur adorning its ears and face.
When it appeared, an invisible pressure spread from the soles of its feet, causing everyone present to tremble.
Zheng Ran's expression froze, and the commotion in the stands abruptly ceased.
In the spectator area, one of the examinees gasped in shock: "What is this?!"
"Demon Wolf!"
Chen Xi suddenly turned to look at Lin Chong; she knew about the bet the two had made yesterday!
Lin Chong didn't look at her; his gaze was fixed on the demon wolf, his heart churning with turmoil.
A demon wolf... how could it be a demon wolf?
Wait, Jiang Qianxun said, "My trump card isn't Fire or Flying type; it's in its initial form, just like Meow Meow."
For a demon wolf that is born in its final form, "demon wolf" is indeed its initial form...
Damn it! I've been trolled!
However, compared to Lin Chong, who was frustrated and depressed, Miao Miao was the one who was truly panicked at this moment.
It was so frightened that it fell off Lin Chong's lap and lay on the ground for a while before letting out a weak cry.
[I'm not feeling well. Let Black Cat play the rest of the matches; she likes fighting, let her fight that monster...]
In this elite elf college entrance exam, where even second-tier elves are considered top-tier, a final-form demon wolf is truly no different from a monster...
Even the three professional trainers on the judging panel exclaimed in surprise.
Duan Lin stroked his beard, praising him generously despite his shock.
"As expected of the Jiang family's daughter, it seems there's no doubt that she'll be the top scholar this year."
And what about Zheng Ran, who was so full of vigor before?
His face was deathly pale, and his lips moved for a long time without making a sound. Finally, he managed to utter a single sentence.
"Impossible! How could a final-form spirit obey your commands... You're cheating!"
Chihiro nodded happily: "Generally speaking, it's indeed impossible, but if—"
She took two steps forward and stroked the demon wolf's head. The wolf squinted and affectionately rubbed against her palm.
"We grew up together, didn't we?"
Jiang Qianxun's smile is sweet, like an elf from a fantasy story.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a dignified defeat."
-
As the audience expected, the outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion.
As the demon wolf easily tossed the nine-tailed fox out of the arena by the neck, the referee's voice rang out.
"The winner of this match is Jiang Qianxun."
No one was surprised; it was only to be expected.
When this demonic wolf appeared on this field, all its opponents were as easy as chickens and dogs, utterly vulnerable.
Facing the shouts of the audience, Qianxun bowed gracefully. Ignoring Zheng Ran, who was slumped on the ground, she led the Demon Wolf into the viewing area and smiled as she met Lin Chong's resentful gaze.
"How about it? Pretty good, huh?"
Lin Chong chuckled twice and echoed, "Not bad, not bad..."
"Can I not gamble with you?"
Chihiro sat down, turned her head, and smiled: "No."
"But you can pack your luggage for Mudu in advance~"
Lin Chong:...
Today's match was really not very interesting, especially after Jiang Qianxun revealed the existence of the Demon Wolf.
The audience found the other candidates' matches uninteresting, and the candidates themselves lost their fighting spirit to compete for the top spot.
After the matches ended and the audience dispersed, the referee announced the schedule for tomorrow's matches.
Tomorrow's first match is quite a coincidence—Lin Chong will face off against Jiang Qianxun.
Those familiar, pessimistic gazes have returned.
Just like when he drew Shao Feng before, but the difference this time, Lin Chong himself had no confidence in winning.
He said goodbye to Chen Xi and then left the stadium alone.
By then, Meow Meow had already hidden inside the Gulu Ball, saying that seeing Jiang Qianxun made her feel like she was about to die.
Lin Chong stood alone outside the gymnasium, waiting for Xiao Xi and Old Man Zhou to come and meet him.
At this moment, Xiaoxi was still holding a cheering stick for Lin Chong. She handed over the ball containing the little black cat and said worriedly.
"Brother, you're going to fight that demon wolf tomorrow, will you win?"
"They'll die," Old Zhou chimed in gloatingly.
Lin Chong took a breath and looked at the old man seriously, saying, "Boss, do you have any way to make Meow Meow evolve into a Magic Cat overnight?"
The old man chuckled: "Dream on."
"Alright, you've got the scholarship and the transfer paperwork done. You've achieved your goal. What else could you possibly want?"
"You don't really want to be the top scholar, do you?"
Lin Chong said helplessly and unwillingly, "The top scorer and the top eight are definitely worth different things."
He also confessed his bet with Jiang Qianxun to the two of them, which made Old Man Zhou laugh.
He pointed at Lin Chong and said with a smug look on his face, "Consider this retribution for your constant match-fixing. If you really become the top scorer, you'll be strutting around like crazy."
"Mudu isn't bad either. Anyway, you're not the type to settle down and study... Alright, Xiaoxi and I are leaving now. Go back and think about your loser's reflections."

Lin Chong returned to the hotel with a heavy heart. When he released Er Mao, Hei Mao immediately sensed something was wrong.
It looked at the cat lying flat and pretending to be dead, then at Lin Chong with a serious expression, and asked in confusion.
What happened to you two? Did you get eliminated from the competition today?
Coincidentally, Black Cat didn't come out to watch the game today and was unaware of the existence of Demon Wolf.
After Lin Chong briefly explained what had happened, the black cat immediately regretted it. Given its personality, it was already being quite polite by not baring its teeth at the demon wolf the moment it saw it, let alone being afraid of it.
But Miaomiao was different. When Lin Chong pulled it up, it even said, "I have a disease that will kill me if I play tomorrow. You should let the black cat play."
Lin Chong was both annoyed and amused: "Don't give up! Maybe things will turn around?"
The cat ignored him completely, tilting its head and pretending to snore.
【zzz...】
Lin Chong looked at it and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said seriously, "Let's try to help you evolve."
