Chapter 104

But when the Metal-Cutting Mantis saw Su Yang on the sidelines, it quickly retracted its scythes...

It was estimated that the last time it fought Su Yang, it had left an indelible shadow in the Metal-Cutting Mantis's heart!

On the second day of the tournament, Su Yang encountered Silver-grade beastmasters in both his matches and easily achieved victory.

Feng Feng Guangyao, on the other hand, had a particularly difficult time in both his matches.

In the final match, his Metal-Cutting Mantis was even directly severely injured!

However, what was gratifying was that Feng Feng Guangyao won.

He successfully broke into the top fifty.

When he was holding his severely injured Metal-Cutting Mantis, with an expression that was both excited and worried, even Su Yang was moved.

Feng Feng Guangyao was somewhat quiet, but he worked very hard in private and fought just as desperately on the competition field!

Huo Kun said, "Let's go, hurry back and treat your pet beast!"

"Yes!"

The four of them were about to leave when they were blocked by a handsome young man.

He was about nineteen years old, dressed in gorgeous white clothes, with fair skin and handsome features; he was a total hunk!

Behind him followed four beastmasters, each of whom had Silver-grade strength.

The handsome young man bypassed Huo Kun and looked at Su Yang, Feng Feng Guangyao, and Ge Le'an, asking, "May I ask which one is Su Yang?"

"Is there something you need from me?"

Seeing the other party calling him out by name, Su Yang stepped forward.

"My name is Xu Xu Wenmao, Changwu City's number one genius, and I am currently a Gold-grade beastmaster. I heard you possess Gold-grade strength and even defeated Dai Yun. I just came to tell you that Dai Yun doesn't count for much in Changwu City; he's only the third-place finisher!" Xu Xu Wenmao said in a calm tone. "I hope we can meet on the competition field soon. Before you meet me, make sure you don't lose!"

Hearing Xu Xu Wenmao's words, the locals watching the excitement became excited.

This was a challenge!

Xu Xu Wenmao was their Changwu City's genius!

They had absolute confidence in Xu Xu Wenmao!

"Xu Xu Wenmao, you'll definitely have no problem!"

"Show him the power of our Changwu City!"

"..."

Hearing Xu Xu Wenmao's words, Su Yang smiled.

"Don't worry, I have great confidence in myself; I won't lose... As for you, I'm more worried that you'll be eliminated by someone else before then!"

"I don't want to engage in a war of words with you; we'll see the truth on the competition field!"

"Sure!"

Su Yang didn't pay much attention to Xu Xu Wenmao's provocation.

A fair and square challenge was better than someone who played dirty behind the scenes.

Returning to the hostel, Feng Feng Guangyao was busy treating the Metal-Cutting Mantis, and Su Yang went directly to the front desk to sign up, as he was going to the training grounds tomorrow.

The young lady at the front desk asked with a smile, "What? The competition didn't go well?"

The young lady at the hostel's front desk was already quite familiar with Su Yang.

Su Yang was handsome, clean-cut, and a genius beastmaster.

A boy like him was very popular.

He was the Prince Charming in the eyes of the girls.

"The competition went well; I made it into the top fifty!"

The girl at the front desk couldn't help but be surprised, "I couldn't tell, you're so amazing!"

Anyone who could break into the top fifty out of over eight hundred contestants was a top-tier genius!

Moreover, she could tell that Su Yang was actually very young.

"It's alright!" Su Yang asked directly, "Can you arrange a vehicle for me to go to the training grounds?"

"Not resting for three days?"

The matches between the top fifty would be held in three days.

Changwu City had considered that after four battles, the young beastmasters and their pet beasts might need to rest and treat their injuries.

"No need!"

"Alright, I'll contact them for you!"

"Thank you!"

After Su Yang left, the young lady at the front desk sighed, "It seems there's a reason why he became a genius at such a young age!"

Early the next morning, Su Yang sat in a speeding military vehicle and left Changwu City!

He was the only one in the vehicle!

The soldier driving complained, "Brother, I thought I could have the day off today!"

Su Yang closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and said with a smile, "Then let me tell you another piece of unfortunate news: I'll be coming to the training grounds tomorrow and the day after, so I might have to trouble you then too!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, the soldier driving suddenly had the urge to cry...

Inside the hostel, Ge Le'an ran into Huo Kun in the cafeteria.

"Captain, where's Su Yang?"

After swallowing a meat bun, Huo Kun said, "He might already be at the training grounds by now!"

Ge Le'an suddenly lowered his head and sighed, "I'm truly convinced!"

The little rich girl Qian Ran on the side also sighed, "The scariest thing is when someone more talented than you is also more diligent and works harder than you... what should I do?"

Qian Ran put down the porridge in her hand; she hadn't even taken a sip, but she felt full.

Some people, you just have to admire!

Su Yang didn't care what others thought; he just wanted to raise the Seven-Colored Psychedelic Butterfly's level as quickly as possible.

Near sunset, the soldier driver took Su Yang back to the hostel.

Three days later, the Seven-Colored Psychedelic Butterfly upgraded to Bronze-grade high-tier.

And just at this time, the Southwest City Youth Genius Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin again!

Drawing lots, arranging the matches.

Under the auspices of Changwu City, it proceeded in an orderly manner.

Su Yang and the others' number tags were re-numbered, but this time Su Yang got number 7.

Huo Kun told him that the tags were determined by Changwu City after assessing their strength.

Those with tags 1 through 25 would not participate in the drawing, while contestants 26 through 50 would draw lots to choose their opponents.

This could prevent strong contestants from being eliminated early.

On the day of the competition, when it was Su Yang's turn to compete, he noticed that the surrounding audience was gradually increasing.

"This is the person who eliminated Dai Yun!"

"Number 7, he must be a Gold-grade beastmaster; Dai Yun's defeat wasn't unjust!"

"I heard Xu Xu Wenmao challenged him!"

"With Xu Xu Wenmao's strength, he'll definitely have no problem!"

"..."

Su Yang's opponent was a Silver-grade beastmaster, number 37.

Being drawn against an opponent in the top seven could be considered his bad luck.

Su Yang still used his three-pronged approach: the Storm Eagle would take care of the opponent's flying-type pet beast, and he would personally charge in to cleanly finish off the opposing beastmaster.

Ever since he got the Earth Violent Bear, Su Yang had grown fond of this feeling of fist-to-flesh combat.

After two matches in one day, Su Yang successfully made it into the top eight.

What surprised Su Yang was that the number 6 Gold-grade beastmaster, who was ranked ahead of him, had actually been eliminated by a Silver-grade beastmaster!

Thus, in the top eight, only six Gold-grade beastmasters and two Silver-grade beastmasters remained.

Changwu City announced again that there would be a three-day break, and the final ranking tournament would be held after three days.

A three-day break?

Su Yang certainly wouldn't rest obediently for three days.
