Chapter 387

Inside the rest area of Suhang University, listening to the anxious shouts around him, Wu Mang could not help feeling deeply moved.

He had been leading teams to the National University Freshman Exchange Tournament for over ten years, and he had never seen a contestant like Zhou Yi who could draw such overwhelming popularity!

But the moment he thought that Zhou Yi was from his own school, Wu Mang felt his mood lift into perfect ease.

As for the crowd's cries that Zhou Yi was in danger and should forfeit immediately, he could not have cared less.

Before leaving Suhang University, in order to thoroughly get a measure of Zhou Yi's strength, he had once asked Principal Wang Hui about this very question.

The answer he received was: "Relax, as long as it's not a Legend Rank magical beast above level 26, Zhou Yi can handle it."

Although both were Third-Turn professionals, Principal Wang Hui was level 64, while he himself was only level 56.

Moreover, Principal Wang Hui was also Zhou Yi's teacher, so he knew Zhou Yi's strength best of all.

Therefore, after hearing those words, he was completely at ease about this trip to the exchange tournament......

"He's only level 24, still a full two levels short of 26."

"Wanting Zhou Yi to lose is simply impossible."

Wu Mang was completely at ease.

Just like humans, once magical beasts enter level 20, their leveling speed also slows dramatically.

This also causes the gap in strength between magical beasts of different levels to be enormous!

A single level-26 magical beast could even take on dozens of level-24 magical beasts at once!

Of course......

The innate talent of both sides also has to be the same.

At this moment, Liu Yang and the others also came down from the arena and returned to the rest area.

"Zhou Yi told you to forfeit, didn't he?"

Although, under Zhou Yi's extremely persuasive words, Song Xialan and the others ultimately chose to forfeit.

They were still just as worried about Zhou Yi's safety.

But Wu Mang's single sentence made Song Xialan and the others, whose mood had been low and who had been about to open their mouths and explain the reason, slightly freeze.

"How did you know?"

Looking at the mysterious smile that spread across Wu Mang's face in response to the question.

The few of them immediately reacted, and the gloom in their hearts was swept clean in an instant.

Bro Yi still has a trump card!

"As expected of Bro Yi, at this stage he actually still has a trump card!"

Liu Yang became lively again.

In truth, just now on the arena, after seeing Jiang Churan raise absolutely no objection whatsoever to Zhou Yi, he had vaguely guessed some of it.

After all, the two of them had just been together, and Jiang Churan would not have let Zhou Yi go risk himself alone.

And now the mysterious smile on Teacher Wu's face proved this point even further.

"Teacher Wu, let Zhou Yi forfeit. A Legend Rank magical beast isn't that easy to control."

"If she's not careful in a moment and ends up killing Zhou Yi, that would be trouble."

At this moment, the voice of Su Rui, the leading teacher from the neighboring Modu University, rang out.

Compared with the gloom before the match, her beautiful face now also carried a hint of pleasant surprise.

She had not expected that a substitute summoner student she had casually assigned would actually produce such a tremendous effect!

Of course......

Her words were also sincerely out of consideration for Zhou Yi.

After all, this summoning of the Crimson-Fire Ape had been a lucky, unexpected occurrence.

Judging by true strength alone, Zhou Yi alone would probably be enough to sweep through Modu University without Wei He present.

A genius like this—if he were killed and forced to revive, losing a massive amount of attribute points over it, that would truly be a case of the loss far outweighing the gain.
