Chapter 148: Rewarding Your Niece to You

Closer, closer, the shadow is approaching the Pangolin King!

At this moment, everyone held their breath, watching this critical scene with tension!

The two parties involved were tense, and the referee was tense too!

Half of the Pangolin King's body had burrowed underground, while the shadow arrived behind it, transforming into two black swords!

Bai Jing clenched his fist; would there be time?

Mu Leng's face tightened; hurry, hurry, hurry, run!

When the Pangolin King showed only its buttocks, the black swords slashed down fiercely!

Clang!

The sword blades struck the armor, sending up sparks!

The Pangolin King let out a cry of pain and stopped moving!

"Damn it!"

Mu Leng gritted her teeth; she still hadn't managed to escape!

Bai Jing, however, was exhilarated; it succeeded!

Everyone stared without blinking!

"How is it? Was it defeated?"

"Does this mean it has lost its ability to fight?"

With the Pangolin King in this posture, no one dared to be sure; what if it suddenly moved again?

Even the referee couldn't be sure and found himself in a dilemma.

Bai Jing thought, should I deliver another blow?

But what if it has already lost its fighting ability? Striking again wouldn't be a match, but intentional injury!

Isn't this making things difficult for people?

Helplessly, he could only lower the dual sword scabbards while remaining on guard, ready to strike again at any moment.

Until the dual sword scabbards pried the Pangolin King out, it remained motionless!

After the referee stepped forward to check, he finally announced: "The Pangolin King has lost its ability to fight; Student Bai Jing wins!"

"Great!"

Everyone applauded enthusiastically!

Although this battle lasted a very short time, its excitement was no less than any other; on the contrary, the race against time made it extremely thrilling.

While Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, he became wild again!

"Leng'er, you lost, you know. Should I give you a spanking as punishment?"

Mu Leng glared at him and said displeasedly: "If the Pangolin King hadn't been injured, causing it to move half a beat slower, you wouldn't have had the chance to show off!"

"Hehe... the match has no 'ifs'!"

"Hmph!"

Mu Leng simply went offline, unwilling to look at someone's ugly face any longer.

Student Mu Rong came online and said cheerfully: "Student Bai Jing, congratulations to you!"

"Little Fairy, tell Leng'er for me that hiding because she lost is shameful, shameful, shameful!"

"Hehe... I will tell Sister; she is very depressed right now!"

Mu Leng secretly hated them; you dog couple!

Principal Guan Bei stepped out and declared: "I announce that Student Bai Jing has become the Rookie King of this generation!"

"Everyone, applaud to congratulate him!"

For a moment, the applause thundered!

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, mighty and domineering!"

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, number one among the freshmen!"

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, handsome and awesome!"

The Freshman Exchange Tournament came to an end here!

Principal Guan Bei summoned Bai Jing and looked at him with great satisfaction!

"The prize money will be transferred to your card; now I will take you to claim another reward!"

Bai Jing grew excited; he was finally going to get that champion-level Pokémon.

As for the prize money, the first place was only three hundred thousand, which truly didn't matter to him at present.

Watching the two leave, Cao De smiled; "It seems the promise I made to him should be fulfilled!"

Before the match, Cao De had promised Bai Jing that if he successfully won the Rookie King title, he would give him a Dragon-type Pokémon with Champion potential!

In other words, this time Bai Jing would obtain a Champion-level starter and a Champion-level Dragon-type; he was truly a big winner!

Following Principal Guan Bei, he arrived at the Breeding Base once again.

"Let's state it first; this Pokémon has a somewhat mischievous personality, so you must be very tolerant!"

"No problem, Principal; I specialize in dealing with all kinds of defiance!"

"You brat, I am telling you to treat it well, not to bully it!"

"Relax, how could I not cherish my own Pokémon? However, I still have to discipline it; I won't spoil it!"

Principal Guan Bei nodded; "That's good!"

He immediately added: "After capturing it, train it well; your other Pokémon cannot be neglected either. I have another important task to assign to you!"

"What task?"

"The Freshman Exchange Tournament!"

"Huh? Didn't it just end?"

"No, this time every university in the country is participating. It happens every year and will be held at Dragon Capital University!"

So it's a nationwide event!

"The principal wants me to bring back a championship?"

"That's right, I place great hopes in you!"

"No problem. It's just bullying freshmen — I'm good at that!"

Principal Guan Bei said with a faint smile, "Don't make it sound so easy. Dragon Capital University is full of hidden talents, and they're far stronger than us!"

"How strong?"

"They've been first place for ten years in a row!"

"What about us?"

Principal Guan Bei said with a dark face, "Second place for ten years in a row!"

Isn't that the eternal runner-up? No wonder Magic Capital University holds such a deep grudge against Dragon Capital University!

If you'd gotten some other ranking, fine — but always getting second place, who could swallow that? And you'd definitely be the laughingstock of the first-place school. Of course there's a grudge!

"What's the benefit of getting first place?"

"Naturally there are. Plenty of benefits. The country's resources will tilt toward you, which is vital for your growth and the school's development. That's also why they've been able to stay first — one step ahead, and every step after stays ahead!"

Bai Jing understood: this was the logic of the strong growing stronger and the weak growing weaker!

"We could have taken first place last year, but my precious niece was tied up with other matters and couldn't participate. I hate it so much!"

Speaking of this, Principal Guan Bei was in tears. Last year had been the most hopeful year for the championship, yet she had run off to carry out a secret mission!

"Zhuge Chaoyue? It seems she's really strong!"

"You know of her too? In terms of strength, she is beyond doubt! But you're not bad either!"

Principal Guan Bei suddenly fixed Bai Jing with a burning gaze. "My hopes rest on you now. You absolutely cannot disappoint me!"

"Uh… Principal, you putting it like that puts a lot of pressure on me!"

"Ahem~ I lost my composure. In short, give it everything you've got!"

"Forgive me for asking — if I get first place, is there a reward?"

"Yes. A million in prize money and a Pseudo-Divine Beast. That's the national reward, same every year!"

Bai Jing's eyes lit up, and he said with full confidence, "Don't worry, Principal. First place isn't going anywhere. Go ahead and prepare the victory banquet for me!"

At this moment, what pressure, what difficulties — none of it mattered!
