Chapter 157: Titan Python (Second update, as usual, asking for everything)

"This is Xu Xiangzhi's Golden-Threaded Long-Armed Ape. He is very likely nearby. It seems I need to take some precautions!" Li Zhangsheng frowned; this was certainly not good news.

Even before entering the Academy, Xu Xiangzhi was already at the Second Rank level. He was also the grandson of Vice Principal Xu, so he naturally possessed high-quality Demon Pets, and his strength was definitely ranked in the top five among the new students.

Although Li Zhangsheng was confident he could defeat Xu Xiangzhi, he would also suffer significant losses himself, and it was even possible they would both end up severely injured. This did not align with Li Zhangsheng's interests.

How could he quickly defeat Xu Xiangzhi without suffering too much loss himself?

Soon, Li Zhangsheng had an idea.

He first took some blood that had not yet congealed from the dead giant apes and smeared it on Aixi, the Paradise Bird, the Flamingo, and the five giant apes, making them look as disheveled as possible.

Under his signal, three of the giant apes, along with the Paradise Bird and the Flamingo, lay down under the banyan tree, closing their eyes to play dead.

Not far away, the Burrowing Mouse burrowed into the ground.

These preparations took a total of one minute.

After everything was set up, the two giant apes that were still standing began to "besiege" Aixi. On the surface, they fought intensely, but in reality, they were just acting. If one observed closely, they would find that neither side suffered any injuries, but the blood dripping from their bodies made the scene look extremely tragic.

"Xu Xiangzhi shouldn't have seen it, right!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, maneuvering Aixi to constantly dodge the "attacks" of the two giant apes while simultaneously commanding Aixi to launch "counterattacks."

In short, while they appeared to be in precarious situations on the surface, in reality, both sides were just striking at thin air; it was hard to notice without careful observation.

Before long, Xu Xiangzhi indeed appeared at the edge of the barren area. The Golden-Threaded Long-Armed Ape followed by his side, excitedly pointing at the unripe Bloodline Fruit on the banyan tree.

"Li Zhangsheng!" At first glance, Xu Xiangzhi saw Li Zhangsheng. There was no helping it; Aixi was too conspicuous.

"Eh, what is that? Could it be the Legendary Bloodline Fruit?"

Due to the Golden-Threaded Long-Armed Ape's unusual behavior, Xu Xiangzhi turned his gaze to the Bloodline Fruit. He was not an ignorant second-generation heir; on the contrary, his family education was profound and strict, so he naturally had seen information regarding Bloodline Fruits.

"It really is a Bloodline Fruit! Haha, my luck is just too good. Li Zhangsheng, it seems your fortune is insufficient; Heaven insists on sending the Bloodline Fruit to me, so I shall graciously accept it!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng and the two giant apes "fighting to the death," Xu Xiangzhi grinned widely, unable to hide the smile on his face.

As long as he obtained the Bloodline Fruit, his strength would likely advance further, perhaps even surpassing Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi to become the representative of the new students.

Xu Xiangzhi would never have guessed that this was a play Li Zhangsheng had specifically prepared for him, which he jokingly called the "Invite the Prince into the Urn" plan!

"Li Zhangsheng and the wild Spirit Beast have fought to a mutual injury; he is no longer a threat. This is my chance; I'll take them out in one fell swoop and seize the Bloodline Fruit!"

Seeing an opportunity, the quick-witted Xu Xiangzhi would never let it pass. He impatiently summoned all his main Demon Pets, wanting to finish everything in one battle.

Xu Xiangzhi had high standards; he would rather leave his Formal Contract slots empty than waste limited Formal Contracts on Demon Pets that were not of Superior Quality.

He had three Formal Contract Demon Pets. Besides the Golden-Threaded Long-Armed Ape, the other two were a Titan Python and a Golden-Light Eagle. They were all Superior Quality Demon Pets, and the Titan Python was even Xu Xiangzhi's Life-Bound Demon Pet.

Titan Python: An ancient python-type Spirit Beast, 12 meters in length, weighing over a ton. Rumor has it that it possesses a Sparse Serpent Bloodline. Once it wraps around you, the consequences are unimaginable.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Titan Python (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Mid-level 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level War General

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Serpent (Sparse)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wood

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

Golden-Light Eagle: A large eagle-type Spirit Beast, with a five-meter wingspan and weighing two hundred jin. Its eyes are sharp, capable of capturing scenes from a hundred miles away. Because its whole body glimmers with golden light, this is the origin of the Golden-Light Eagle's name.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Golden-Light Eagle (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Upper Rank 1st Stage

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Servant

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: None

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Gold

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire

Although he lacked top-tier Demon Pets, Xu Xiangzhi's strength was extremely impressive. The Titan Python went without saying—it was no worse than a Savage Saber-Toothed Tiger. The Golden-Light Eagle had even reached the Upper Realm, though its race held it back, and its overall strength was not even as good as the Titan Python's.

If one added the Golden-Threaded Long-Armed Ape, Xu Xiangzhi's strength was only slightly inferior to Li Zhangsheng's. If the two were to face off directly, it really might result in mutual injury, with neither ending up with the Bloodline Fruit.

"This time, not only can I get the Bloodline Fruit, but I can also make Li Zhangsheng suffer a setback. There is nothing better than this!"

Xu Xiangzhi mounted the Golden-Light Eagle. To avoid complications and to prevent Li Zhangsheng from destroying the unripe Bloodline Fruit, he immediately lunged toward the banyan tree nurturing the fruit.

On the ground, the Golden-Threaded Long-Armed Ape landed on the head of the Titan Python. The Titan Python slithered at high speed, and within a few breaths, it approached the large banyan tree.

"Haha, Li Zhangsheng, thank you for your hard work. I shall graciously accept this Bloodline Fruit!" Xu Xiangzhi let out a wild laugh. He naturally saw the numerous giant ape corpses, including two Upper Rank giant apes; it would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised.

If he were to trade places with Li Zhangsheng, he really couldn't guarantee he could take down so many powerful enemies. Li Zhangsheng's strength seemed to be even beyond his expectations.

However, Xu Xiangzhi had no intention of taking Li Zhangsheng's life. According to the assessment rules, one could not kill people, nor could one kill others' Life-Bound Demon Pets, and one certainly could not intentionally lure wild Spirit Beasts to indirectly kill others or their Life-Bound Demon Pets, otherwise, they would face severe punishment. As the grandson of Vice Principal Xu, he naturally understood the stakes.

When it came to matters of principle, the Academy would never lower the punishment because of his status, so he naturally wouldn't do it. Besides, his main goal was to seize the Bloodline Fruit.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng was already at the "end of his rope," retreating step by step under the "siege" of the two giant apes; it seemed that defeat was only a matter of time.

However, Xu Xiangzhi always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"I spend all day hunting geese, only to have my eyes pecked out by a goose! Xu Xiangzhi, take the Bloodline Fruit!" Li Zhangsheng deliberately held his breath, turning his face bright red, and maneuvered Aixi to clear the path to the banyan tree, appearing as if he wanted to leave, while in his heart, he was desperate for Xu Xiangzhi to approach the tree.

The more miserable Li Zhangsheng's expression became, the more delighted Xu Xiangzhi felt, and he immediately commanded his Demon Pets to approach the banyan tree.

Li Zhangsheng's lips curled upward, revealing a meaningful smile.

Xu Xiangzhi had entered the urn!
