Chapter 313: Fire Element Spirit (First update, requesting everything)

Vice Principal Xu stood not far away, observing the changes on the three arenas at all times. When Li Zhangsheng won with ease, even he was slightly stunned. After all, Li Zhangsheng had used only two temporary spirit pets to easily defeat the top freshman of Yecheng Academy; this was simply too fantastical.

Vice Principal Xu used a cough to mask the surprise in his heart, patted Li Zhangsheng's shoulder firmly, and said, "Ahem, Zhangsheng, you did very well. However, this match is far from over. You should go to the rest area to recharge; it is very likely you will be called upon again later!"

"Yes, Principal!"

Li Zhangsheng replied respectfully and went to the nearby contestant seating area, summoned the Bright Bird and the Emperor Crocodile, and personally treated the wounds of the two temporary spirit pets.

To allow the two temporary spirit pets to recover quickly, Li Zhangsheng was willing to use Life Water to smear their wounds and fed them a mouthful as well. A hazy green light emerged at their wounds, rapidly restoring their injuries and stamina.

If there were no accidents, by the time Li Zhangsheng went on stage again, the two temporary spirit pets would roughly be able to enter their peak state.

Not until Li Zhangsheng finished treating the wounds of the two temporary spirit pets did Luo Jing take the initiative to come to Li Zhangsheng's side and exclaim, "Junior's performance this time has truly opened our eyes! Your strength might even be greater than mine!"

"Not at all, Senior is exaggerating. Compared to Senior, I still have a long way to go!"

Li Zhangsheng was being entirely modest. Both he and Luo Jing were Third-rank Royal Beast Masters, and Aixi and the Fire-Feathered Bird had both reached the Elite level. Even if Luo Jing was about to advance to the Fourth Rank, if they were to truly fight, Luo Jing would likely not be his opponent.

In a short span of three months, Li Zhangsheng had grown to this point. In terms of strength alone, it seemed that only Miao Yinfeng in the entire Yuanling Academy could suppress him; he might already be the second-ranked student!

Such a speed of progress was undoubtedly quite terrifying. Furthermore, Li Zhangsheng believed that as long as he was given a few more months, he was confident he could surpass Miao Yinfeng.

"Sometimes being too modest is not a good thing!" Luo Jing shook her head and continued, "I believe that in this Exchange Tournament, you are very likely to become an overnight sensation. After Senior Miao graduates, you have the opportunity to leap into becoming the banner of Yuanling Academy. I believe the Instructor will be very gratified when they know!"

"Mm, I will definitely continue to work hard!" Li Zhangsheng acted as if he had been encouraged, putting on the appearance of a hot-blooded boy.

At this moment, Zhao Shuyi finished her battle and returned to the rest area.

In this battle, Zhao Shuyi had not yet used the Three-Tailed Snow Fox. Like Li Zhangsheng, she was hiding her trump cards and would not easily show them unless it was a critical moment.

Unlike Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Shuyi's standard was ultimately inferior to his. In this duel, her Red-Armored Earth Dragon lost its ability to fight.

In this way, only Xu Xiangzhi and his opponent remained for the first grade.

Xu Xiangzhi's opponent was very steady. Even though Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi had both achieved victory, he remained unaffected, as if he were not paying attention to the outside of the arena at all.

Looking at Xu Xiangzhi, however, there was a bit more impatience in his heart. He had always considered himself no worse than Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi. Now that both of them had won, it was inevitable that he would feel a bit unbalanced.

However, once Xu Xiangzhi thought of what Vice Principal Xu had told him, he had to forcibly suppress the impatience in his heart and make calm commands.

After about five minutes, the first-grade competition finally ended. To Xu Xiangzhi's frustration, he and his opponent fought to a draw and were both eliminated!

After the first grade decided the winner, the second-grade students from both sides began to take the stage.

Unfortunately, compared to the first grade, the second grade of Yuanling Academy was much inferior; it was completely a situation of dragging their feet.

Both were second grade, but Yecheng Academy looked much more reliable; they were all Third-Rank Students, unlike the second grade of Yuanling Academy, which still had one second-rank student.

After about ten minutes, the second-grade competition ended. The three second-grade students of Yuanling Academy hung their heads, looking down and not daring to look at the Principal.

They had lost, and they had lost quite miserably!

The Principal of Yecheng Academy revealed some smiles. Their second-grade echelon had won, and they had only lost one person, though the other two also only had one demon pet slot left.

Soon, it was the third grade's turn!

However, Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi were not idle either. Under the arrangement of the head referee, they needed to challenge the two remaining second-grade students of Yecheng Academy.

As the lower grade, they naturally had certain privileges; they could designate which of the opponent's remaining higher-grade students to challenge, and at the same time, they had the advantage of moving second.

The so-called advantage of moving second was that the opponent would release their demon pets first, and you could make some adjustments based on the opponent's demon pets, such as choosing demon pets that countered the opponent's attributes.

However, their arena had also changed. It was no longer six different types of arenas, but the most ordinary type. Most were flat ground, with only the arena with a pond in the middle being suitable for the performance of the vast majority of demon pets.

"Ladies first!" Li Zhangsheng showed his manners and gave Zhao Shuyi the priority to choose.

In fact, the levels of the two remaining second-grade students of Yecheng Academy were not much different, and both only had their last demon pet slot left.

Zhao Shuyi did not refuse and picked one at random.

"Then my opponent is you!" Li Zhangsheng looked at his second opponent. His opponent was named Zu Yu, a Third-rank Royal Beast Master who appeared tough on the outside.

Soon, the two stood on a high platform in an arena.

"The two sides of the match are Li Zhangsheng of the first grade of Yuanling Academy and Zu Yu of the second grade of Yecheng Academy. The lower-grade side has the Authority to move second. There is no time limit for the match, and it will be conducted in a singles mode. The winner can change demon pets according to the match rules until either side's demon pets all lose the ability to fight. Do you both understand?"

The referee routinely announced the match rules. This referee was a male Instructor from Rongting Academy; well, another referee who did not like either academy!

"I announce the match begins!"

After both sides indicated they understood, the male referee announced the start of the match.

According to the challenge rules, Zu Yu summoned his demon pet first, and this was also his last demon pet slot.

A purple hexagram flickered. Amidst the flickering light, a miniature Fire Element spirit appeared on the stage.

This was a thirty-to-forty-centimeter-tall male Fire Element spirit. His appearance was similar to a human's, with delicate features, pointed ears, and red eyes. He had an inch of short red hair and a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings growing on his back.

In addition, a miniature flame grew on his little head, symbolizing that he was born from fire.

This was also the second spirit Li Zhangsheng had seen; the first was naturally Kailan, so the rarity of spirits could be imagined.
