Chapter 185: Unicorn Bloodline (Second update, please subscribe)

"This vote, I abstain!"

As Li Jingyi finished speaking, Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi could not help but look at each other; with this, both sides were tied.

Li Zhangsheng was a bit puzzled; he had lobbied for a full 7 votes, yet in the end, he only received 9. Could it be that his popularity with passersby was only worth two votes?

Has my, Li Zhangsheng's, charm decreased, or have the standards of you girls become higher!

"It's over!"

Not far away, Xu Xiangzhi sat dejectedly in his seat. In this class monitor election, he hadn't received a single vote; it was simply a disgrace.

At this moment, Instructor Lu Qian arrived at the podium once again.

"Since the number of votes for the two of you is the same, according to custom, you need to have a match. The winner becomes the Class Monitor, and the loser becomes the Vice Class Monitor!"

After finishing, the four instructors accompanied Vice Principal Xu out of the classroom and headed toward the nearest arena. The students in the classroom also swarmed out, expressions of wanting to watch a good show on their faces.

When leaving the classroom, Li Zhangsheng deliberately lagged behind. His footsteps paused, and he calmly unleashed his Mental Power.

On the podium, the twenty-plus ballots that had been piled together moved in unison, scattering across the entire surface of the podium. In just a few seconds, Li Zhangsheng memorized the contents and handwriting of these ballots.

The content of the ballots was naturally correct; Li Zhangsheng had never doubted this point. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one would tamper with the ballots.

The key was the handwriting. Whether it was the three from the Li Clan or the handwriting of Zhang Yi and Luo Jie, Li Zhangsheng was very familiar with them.

"Huh, Zhang Yi's handwriting is missing!"

After observing all the ballots, Li Zhangsheng could not help but frown.

Li Zhangsheng understood very clearly what this indicated. There were only two possibilities: either Zhang Yi had consciously changed his handwriting, or he had abstained!

The problem was, if he had voted for him, there would be no need to change his handwriting!

It was very obvious that the possibility of Zhang Yi abstaining was high; he might even have deliberately changed his handwriting to vote for Zhao Shuyi. Although this possibility was slim, it was theoretically possible.

"As expected, a temporary alliance is not as tight as being from the same clan!"

Li Zhangsheng sighed inwardly. If Zhang Yi had voted for him as he had promised on the surface, then he wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.

Not long after Li Zhangsheng left, a figure entered the classroom. He had a very striking Thunder God Mouth; the person who arrived was none other than Zhang Yi.

"Huh, I remember these ballots were piled together when I left the classroom. It seems someone moved them! Li Zhangsheng? Zhao Shuyi? Or someone else?"

Looking at the ballots scattered on the table, Zhang Yi frowned tightly. He thought of a possibility.

"I hope it's not Li Zhangsheng!" Zhang Yi felt a bit uneasy, but he still tore up the ballots and threw them all into the trash can before leaving the classroom again.

When he arrived at the arena, Zhao Shuyi was talking with Xu Xiangzhi.

"Shuyi, besides that Savage Saber-Toothed Tiger, that guy also has a Fire Element Flamingo that is quite powerful, but I can guarantee it is not at the Upper Realm! Hmm, he also has a Nature Elf, you've seen her too, but she is a purely auxiliary Spirit Beast, so I believe she won't pose a threat to you!"

In the Green Wild Forest, Xu Xiangzhi had been viciously tricked by Li Zhangsheng, but the two had fought after all. Even if it was only for a few short seconds, it still allowed him to perceive the general strength of Li Zhangsheng's few Spirit Beasts.

What Xu Xiangzhi didn't know was that it wasn't a Nature Elf, but a Forest Elf with multiple attack skills, which had already initially broken away from the awkward position of being purely auxiliary.

This couldn't be blamed on Xu Xiangzhi; without careful observation, it was hard to notice the difference between a Nature Elf and a Forest Elf.

This time, Xu Xiangzhi took the initiative to provide intelligence to Zhao Shuyi, naturally hoping that Zhao Shuyi would defeat Li Zhangsheng on the spot. As long as Zhao Shuyi won, he would initiate a Dormitory Challenge against Li Zhangsheng to regain the face he had lost two days ago.

"I understand, thank you for the information!"

Zhao Shuyi remembered Xu Xiangzhi's words and turned to enter the combat arena.

At this time, more and more students gathered at the arena. Some were Elite Class Members, but more were freshmen who had heard the news, and for a time, they surrounded the combat arena tightly.

This was a duel to decide who was the number one freshman, so it was no wonder these freshmen were so enthusiastic.

The combat arena was square, consisting of a rockery, a pond, and a patch of grass, suitable for the combat of Spirit Beasts of all attributes.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng climbed onto a stone pedestal, watching Zhao Shuyi opposite him, waiting for the match to begin.

"Take your positions. The two sides of the match are Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi. Both sides are limited to using three Spirit Beasts. There is no time limit for the match. It ends when either side's Spirit Beasts all lose the ability to fight; one can also abstain. Additionally, it is strictly forbidden to kill the opponent's Spirit Beast. Violators will be severely punished. Do you both understand?"

At this time, the referee at the edge of the arena explained the combat rules in a loud voice.

Zhao Shuyi nodded, but in her heart, she was thinking about which Spirit Beast she should send out first.

Li Zhangsheng remained calm, even though Zhang Yi had secretly given him a 'backstab', he was still not affected in the slightest.

As long as he faced a battle, he would become very focused; this was his innate talent.

In the spectator stands, Luo Jie looked at Zhang Yi beside him and said, "Who do you think will win this duel?"

"Hard to say, their strength is not much different, but I am most wary of Zhao Shuyi's Superior Quality Three-Tailed Snow Fox. I don't know if Brother Li can handle it!" Zhang Yi was a bit distracted, but on the surface, he still seemed relatively normal.

"Since there are no objections, then I announce the duel has begun!" After the two nodded to indicate they understood, the referee finally announced the start of the match.

"Kailan, I'll leave the first round to you!"

Li Zhangsheng hesitated for a moment. He did not send out the Three-Headed Snake because he felt Kailan was stronger.

The Three-Headed Snake was only one step away from the Upper Realm, and coupled with its Warrior Species, Superior Quality, and powerful Regeneration ability, its strength was naturally not weak.

But Kailan was not inferior in the slightest, and was even three parts stronger. Except for her realm being slightly inferior, in other aspects, she could be said to be no worse than the Three-Headed Snake, especially since she was a Commander Species.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Kailan is Li Zhangsheng's third strongest Spirit Beast.

The first strongest is naturally Aixi, whose quality has risen, and the second strongest is the Fire Element Flamingo that absorbed the Red Dragon Essence Blood. Both have reached the Upper Realm, which is the main reason why Kailan is temporarily not as good as them.

This is a match that determines the position of Class Monitor. Li Zhangsheng naturally had no intention of hiding his strength. After all, Zhao Shuyi was not weak either. If he were to lose because he held back, he would truly have nowhere to cry.

As Kailan flew into the arena, Zhao Shuyi also summoned her first Spirit Beast.

Neigh~

Accompanied by the flickering of a blood-colored halo, a majestic white horse raised its front hooves and let out a thick sound toward the sky.

This white horse was about three meters long and about 1.6 meters at the shoulder. A single horn grew on its forehead; this was a straight horn, which had a clear difference from the spiral horn of a unicorn.

The moment Zhao Shuyi released her Spirit Beast, Li Zhangsheng's externalized Mental Power instantly fed back its data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Horned Horse (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Intermediate 7th Stage

【Spirit Beast Species】: High-Level Servant

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Unicorn (Inferior Quality)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Thunder

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Ice

Although Zhao Shuyi's status in the clan was awkward, she was, after all, the Clan Leader's daughter on the surface; furthermore, she had contracted a top-grade Three-Tailed Snow Fox, so no matter how much the Zhao Clan engaged in infighting, they would still grant her sufficient importance, and this Superior Quality Horned Horse possessing Unicorn bloodline was given to her by the clan.

The Unicorn is a type of Top-tier Exotic Beast; its appearance resembles a white horse, with a spiral horn on its forehead, representing nobility, arrogance, and purity.

Additionally, the Unicorn's horn possesses detoxification functions.

"Horned Horse, use Horn Charge attack!" Upon seeing that Li Zhangsheng's first Demon Pet was a 'Nature Sprite', Zhao Shuyi decided to launch a fierce attack, not giving the 'Nature Sprite' a chance to catch its breath.

Patter~

The sound of hooves stomping on the ground rang out, and the Horned Horse lowered its head, charging toward Kailan at high speed.

Burrowing Vine!

Just as the Horned Horse's speed reached its peak, several vines as thick as an adult's arm suddenly burst out from underground, entangling the Horned Horse's forelimbs with lightning speed.

These vines were, naturally, Kailan's handiwork!

Although the Horned Horse's momentum was strong, it was ultimately unable to break free from the vines in an instant, eventually leading to the horse stumbling, and after flipping over, it fell heavily to the ground.

"How is this possible!" Zhao Shuyi's surprised voice rang out; the thickness and toughness of the vines clearly exceeded her expectations.

She would never have imagined that what she was facing was not a Nature Sprite, but a stronger Forest Sprite; the severe lack of intelligence caused her to lose the initiative.

The Horned Horse fell very hard, especially since the vines were still wrapped around its forelimbs, which prevented it from getting up immediately.

Li Zhangsheng naturally would not let go of this rare opportunity and immediately commanded Kailan to execute Leaf Blade Slash.

Before the Horned Horse could climb up from the ground, Kailan condensed rich green energy, and under her precise control, this energy transformed into leaf-blade shapes, slashing toward the Horned Horse.

"Leaf Blade Slash? Oh no, she is a Forest Sprite!" Seeing Kailan execute Leaf Blade Slash, Zhao Shuyi's expression changed drastically; her foundation was very solid, and she immediately recognized this as an offensive skill of a Forest Sprite.

In the blink of an eye, the Leaf Blade Slash successfully hit the Horned Horse, cutting a wound several feet long on its body.

Neigh~

The Horned Horse's miserable cry rang out; this single Leaf Blade Slash alone caused it to suffer heavy damage.

"Damn it, Horned Horse, use Thunder Strike!" Seeing the state of the Horned Horse, Zhao Shuyi's complexion was very poor, and she immediately issued the command for a long-range attack.

Accompanied by Zhao Shuyi's command, rich electric currents began to swirl around the Horned Horse's horn, finally transforming into a golden electric current as thick as an adult's arm, shooting rapidly toward Kailan.

Forest Protection!

At the critical moment, the rich green energy transformed into a dark green light barrier, wrapping Kailan in all directions.

The golden electric current landed on the dark green light barrier, and wisps of ripples emerged; the golden electric current could not break through the barrier's defense no matter what, and eventually disappeared.

"Kailan, Paralysis Powder!"

At this moment, Kailan flapped her wings, and countless white powders formed; a breeze blew, sweeping toward the Horned Horse.

"Hurry and dodge, use Unique Charge!"

The Horned Horse moved its hooves again; its speed was fast, and after rushing out of the coverage of the Paralysis Powder, golden electric currents rapidly covered its whole body, offsetting the wind force while their explosive power was also enhanced, allowing its speed to clearly increase by a notch.

In an instant, the Horned Horse appeared in front of Kailan.

Cotton Spore!

Kailan did not dodge; a surge of cyan energy emerged again, and large amounts of white Cotton Spores appeared on her body surface, as if wrapped in a layer of cotton, which could significantly reduce damage.

In an instant, the Horned Horse slammed into Kailan, and the golden electric current attached to its body exploded instantly, venting toward the surroundings.

Because her body was too petite, Kailan's figure flew backward straight; just as she was about to hit the wall, she flapped her wings hard a few times, only then barely stopping.

After the Cotton Spores offset part of the force, the remaining force and electric current were successfully offset by the dark green light barrier, directly resulting in Kailan's injuries being very light.

At this time, the Horned Horse unwillingly launched a charge again.

Unfortunately, Kailan's Burrowing Vine could already be used again; when the Horned Horse's speed reached its peak, several vines as thick as an adult's arm once again entangled the Horned Horse's forelimbs.

Boom~

A scene identical to the one just now appeared; the Horned Horse stumbled, flipped over again, and fell heavily to the ground; it felt pain everywhere on its body, struggled symbolically a few times, but this time it never stood up again.

"The Horned Horse has lost its combat ability; please have Zhao Shuyi switch to the next Spirit Beast!" After confirming the state of the Horned Horse, the referee announced the result.

"Amazing!"

"I always thought she was a Nature Sprite; I didn't expect her to be a Forest Sprite. When she executed Leaf Blade Slash just now, I was stunned for a long time!"

"That is a Forest Sprite of the Commander Species; I also really want to have such a Spirit Beast that possesses both strength and beauty!"

"Keep dreaming; Forest Sprites are extremely rare; I'm afraid you wouldn't find a few even if you searched the entire Langya Kingdom!"

……

From the moment Kailan executed Leaf Blade Slash, many freshmen in the auditorium were stunned; they naturally could not have imagined that Kailan had evolved into a Forest Sprite by absorbing Elemental Crystals; they subconsciously thought that during Li Zhangsheng's Dormitory Challenge with Luo Jie, Li Zhangsheng had deliberately hidden Kailan's true strength, only revealing his fangs at this moment, taking the opportunity to trick Zhao Shuyi.

What a calculation!

This is simply playing the pig to eat the tiger!

Li Zhangsheng also did not expect that the watching freshmen would have such thoughts, but even if he knew, he would not deliberately explain.

After retracting the Horned Horse, Zhao Shuyi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the negative emotions in her heart; her Mental Power moved slightly, and the familiar Blood-colored Hexagram appeared again.

Roar~

Accompanied by the sound of a low Dragon Roar, a huge Spirit Beast walked out slowly with heavy steps.
