Inside the battle club hall of the Imperial Capital University, the place was packed with people.

Hundreds of students had gathered, creating a lively atmosphere, with even some battle-type teachers observing from the sidelines.

Clearly, they were all there to watch their own elites take on the exchange team from the Ancient Capital University.

"Get your spirits up!"

"Anyone who screws up today gets extra training!"

Bai Xi was giving her usual pep talk at the Ancient Capital University's contestant area.

"Okay~"

The Ancient Capital University members responded weakly.

Ah, they really didn't want to fight, because they knew they couldn't win.

They just wanted to see Shi Yu fight.

While they had expectations for Shi Yu, they had none for themselves...

"Sigh..." Bai Xi sighed as well.

There was no helping it. The obvious gap made it hard to muster the courage to challenge.

However, at this time, many of the battle club elites from the Imperial Capital University were also somewhat apprehensive, because a monster had emerged from the Ancient Capital University.

They didn't care about the others, but Shi Yu... they had to take him seriously.

Not only them, but even the ordinary Imperial Capital students who came to watch felt complicated. They had also come for Shi Yu.

"Is it true that Shi Yu is on the Ancient Capital University exchange team?"

"I came after seeing the news. Will we get to see a transcendent race's Illusion Butterfly?"

"A transcendent race's pet... can our battle club members handle it?"

Because the words "transcendent race" were so intimidating, many Imperial Capital University students were worried about their own members.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Shi Yu has a telepathic talent. A transcendent race is no different from a monarch race in his hands. Don't be scared."

"I don't care about the Illusion Butterfly. I heard he has a Ginseng Baby that can fight. Is that true? That's what I'm here for." There were also nurturing-type students who had contracted with Ginseng Babies who came to see Shi Yu's Ginseng Baby.

"I'm not interested in butterflies either. A ten-year Iron-eating Beast fan here uninvited. I'm laying my cards on the table. I don't want to see the Illusion Butterfly. I want to see the Iron-eating Beast Knight."

The hall was very lively. Listening to the discussions, some Imperial Capital University students even wondered who the home team was.

This Shi Yu was too terrifying. He was completely infamous... famous wolf... well, his popularity was very high.

...

"Hello everyone, I am Cui Ying, the host of today's inter-school exchange competition between Ancient Capital University and Imperial Capital University."

2 PM.

As the time approached, a girl with a sweet voice spoke into the microphone on a podium in the venue.

As soon as she spoke, the noise in the hall immediately died down, and everyone's attention was drawn to her.

"This exchange activity is jointly organized by the Battle Clubs of Ancient Capital University and Imperial Capital University, aiming to promote friendship between the two sides and improve the battle level of Beast Tamers from both schools. Friendship first, competition second."

"Next, I will explain the rules of the exchange competition to you."

Swish!

The large screen in the venue lit up.

Then, 60 names appeared.

"This exchange activity will mainly take the form of a challenge. The Battle Club of Ancient Capital University will be the challenger, and the Battle Club of Imperial Capital University will be the defender."

"The list on the screen records the names of the members of the Imperial Capital University Battle Club and their ranking within the club. They are the main members who will defend against Ancient Capital University this time."

"Ancient Capital University members can choose any one of them to challenge. If they win, they can continue to challenge higher-ranked members. The exchange activity will end at 6:30 PM ~ The exchange activity does not count wins or losses, but the final offensive and defensive results will be displayed ~"

There was no rigid indicator to determine the winner between Ancient Capital University and Imperial Capital University. It was purely up to the students of Ancient Capital University to freely challenge. This was the response plan of Imperial Capital University in the face of external school exchange activities over the years.

They placed themselves in a very high position, waiting for challenges, but the final offensive and defensive results would clearly show the gap between the two sides.

At this moment, everyone looked at the big screen.

The first name on the big screen was Tang Yu, an Advanced Beast Tamer, ranked fourth in the Imperial Capital University Battle Club.

As for the top three, they were naturally the three Master-level Beast Tamers of Imperial Capital University. They did not participate in the exchange activity, just like Bai Xi.

The second name was Fan Qi, an Advanced Beast Tamer, ranked fifth in the Imperial Capital University Battle Club...

Until the last one, they were all Advanced Beast Tamers, obviously all formal members of the Imperial Capital University Battle Club.

"Hey, Bai Xi, it's time. Who's going first?"

As the list appeared, on the opposite side of the arena, a single-ponytail girl in a black short-sleeved shirt stretched her waist and said. She was one of the vice-captains of Imperial Capital University, a Master-level Beast Tamer, and not among the participants in this exchange activity.

Hearing the woman's voice, Bai Xi frowned and looked at the crowd behind her.

"Don't wait for Shi Yu. Who wants to challenge first?"

"Uh..." Bai Xi finished speaking, and the members of Ancient Capital University were a little timid.

Although they were all elites ranked in the top 20 of the Ancient Capital University Battle Club, the gap between the two schools was there. It would probably be difficult for them to win against the 30th or 40th ranked members of Imperial Capital University.

This gap was also the reason why Imperial Capital University allowed the other party to challenge however they wanted in the face of any exchange team.

After all, if they were too ruthless, how would other schools come to exchange in the future? This would not be good for the reputation of Imperial Capital University.

"I'll go." At this moment, seeing everyone hesitating, Xu Ze, the vice-captain of Ancient Capital University, suddenly spoke.

He looked at a name on the big screen and said, "I lost to him in the last National Competition. It's been so long now. I want to see if the gap has narrowed."

As the second strongest combat power of Ancient Capital University on the surface, he obviously didn't plan to challenge the lower-ranked members of Imperial Capital University.

"Okay, good luck!"

Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief when someone came forward.

Cough, although the outcome of Xu Ze's challenge this time was unknown, Bai Xi was actually very happy that the members of the Battle Club had some courage.

If Xu Ze, as the vice-captain of the Ancient Capital University Battle Club, challenged the bottom-ranked members of Imperial Capital University, she would look down on him.

Not only would she look down on him, but even if he won, it would probably attract jeers from Imperial Capital University.

"Xu Ze from Ancient Capital University challenges Liang Yan from Imperial Capital University."

Xu Ze walked onto the arena and, under the gaze of everyone, looked at a certain name on the big screen.

Liang Yan, an Advanced Beast Tamer, ranked 8th in the Imperial Capital University Battle Club.

"Liang Yan, they want to challenge you!"

At this time, on the side of Imperial Capital University, a group of sitting members suddenly looked at a short boy with strange expressions.

"Liang Yan, does he know that your pet evolved?"

"The other party shouldn't know that you replaced your new pet, right?"

"Of course they don't know. I haven't taken it out to compete yet." Liang Yan's expression was playful.

"I remember, didn't you eliminate this Xu Ze in the last National Competition?" Someone asked.

"It seems so..." The boy named Liang Yan stood up in surprise and said, "It's him, huh? I was wondering why someone would challenge me. So he's here for revenge..."

"You scared me. I thought it was that Shi Yu." He patted his heart.

As the top eight in the Imperial Capital University, a quasi-Master-level Beast Tamer, he was actually very strong, so strong that even the second in command of Ancient Capital University couldn't beat him. However, it just so happened that their group of quasi-Masters was seriously instructed by Teacher Shen that if Shi Yu challenged them, they must not lose.

After all, if even they lost, wouldn't the others at Imperial Capital University let Shi Yu's Illusion Butterfly run wild?

It didn't matter if the lower-ranked members lost, it wouldn't affect the morale of the Imperial Capital University Battle Club members. However, if this group of top 10 school team members lost, then it would be over. He was afraid that his teacher would have his salary deducted...

At this time, compared to the Shi Yu with unknown strength, Liang Yan didn't take the defeated Xu Ze in front of him seriously at all.

"I'm going." Liang Yan smiled and walked down.

In an instant, the eyes of the entire audience were focused on Xu Ze and Liang Yan.

One was the vice-captain of the Ancient Capital University school team, and the other was the top elite of the Imperial Capital University school team. The first battle was not the low-level battle that everyone imagined, but a clash between powerhouses.

"It's Senior Liang..."

On the Imperial Capital University side, Yin Zhengfan sat in a corner, constantly looking for Shi Yu's figure on the Ancient Capital University side. Unfortunately, he never found him.

What's going on?

In addition to him, Tang Yun, Zhang Yiming, and other members of the Imperial Capital University Battle Club, and even the two vice-captains present, as well as Teacher Shen, who was observing in secret, had not seen Shi Yu's figure. They couldn't help but wonder if Shi Yu hadn't come...

Forget it, let's pay attention to the battle between these two first.

On the arena, the two sides had arrived at the battle area.

Xu Ze's expression was relatively serious, while Liang Yan on the opposite side was very calm.

It wasn't that Xu Ze didn't want to pick a weakling first before challenging this guy, but the key was that there weren't many weaklings in Imperial Capital University. Fighting with others first would definitely consume a lot of stamina, so it was better to directly challenge this Liang Yan.

If he won, he would take off. If he lost... then he would go back and train super hard.

Judging from the situation of the last National Competition... theoretically speaking, the gap between them was not very big.

"You are the challenger. You set the rules."

On the field, Liang Yan from Imperial Capital University said.

"2vs2 tag team battle." Xu Ze said very simply.

"Okay!" Liang Yan nodded with a smile.

The two looked towards the podium, and the girl in charge of hosting this exchange activity immediately said, "The first match, Xu Ze from Ancient Capital University vs Liang Yan from Imperial Capital University!"

"The battle rules are 2vs2 tag team battle!"

"Now, please send out your pets."

The host finished speaking, and the two sides immediately entered a state of preparation.

In front of Xu Ze, a summoning array appeared, and a white skeleton giant rose up.

Mid-level Monarch Race, Skeleton Overlord!

At the same time, a white book appeared in Xu Ze's hand and was held by him.

High-level Monarch Race, Flame-infused Book Spirit, belonging to the Undead and Fire dual types, is an undead pet. Xu Ze obtained it from the Heroic Spirit Ruins.

Holding the book, white flames seemed to appear in Xu Ze's eyes, and white flames floated around him. Even more white flames wrapped around and covered the Skeleton Overlord.

Flame Skeleton Overlord!

Now, after being continuously strengthened by him, the two pets seemed to merge into a quasi-Overlord Race commander-level combat power.

"Still the same old stuff." Opposite him, Liang Yan showed a faint smile, and two pets appeared in front of him.

"Roar!!!"

A "dragon" roar came out.

A huge monster with a jet-black body, ten meters long, resembling a Flood Dragon, and with three heads appeared!

Dark Three-headed Python with some Dragon bloodline!

High-level Monarch Race, Dark type, Dragon bloodline!

At this time, seeing the Dark Three-headed Python, Xu Ze's expression immediately changed, and everyone on the Ancient Capital University side also showed solemn expressions.

"Your pet evolved?" Xu Ze asked seriously.

"Yes, it evolved a week ago." Liang Yan said confidently.

In addition to the Dark Three-headed Python, dense black ants appeared on the field, covering the earth in blackness. Even more of them were walking on the giant python.

Group pet, mid-level Monarch Race Dark Walking Ant, the group is the individual, the individual is the entire group. All Dark Ants are split from the Ant King.

Seeing this pet, Xu Ze's expression changed again. Was he playing dirty!

It had only been four months. How had his entire configuration changed!

Before he could ask, Liang Yan said himself, "One evolved, and I also eliminated a commander-level pet and replaced it with a new pet, the Dark Walking Ant."

"Senior Liang Yan is awesome."

Seeing that Liang Yan's Two-headed Evil Python had evolved into a Dark Three-headed Python and that he had also contracted a new Monarch Race pet, many Imperial Capital University students were stunned at first, then surprised.

The Dark Three-headed Python with the Dark type and Dragon bloodline could be said to be a quasi-Overlord Race.

Coupled with this new pet, it was probably going to be explosively strong.

"It's over." On the Ancient Capital University side, everyone's mouths twitched.

They felt that Xu Ze was in danger...

Bai Xi also showed a solemn expression.

"Am I late?"

At the same time, a voice came, and a figure directly sat next to Bai Xi, looking at the field and said.

Shi Yu?

Seeing Shi Yu's arrival, many Ancient Capital University members' eyes lit up.

Bai Xi glanced at Shi Yu beside her and said, "A few minutes late. I'm afraid Xu Ze is going to crash."

"Is the opponent strong?"

"Very strong. He's a formal member of the Imperial Capital University school team. Xu Ze lost to him before. Now that the opponent's pet has evolved, I'm afraid the gap between the two sides will further widen."

Shi Yu looked at the field, or rather, at the Dark Walking Ants.

This kind of pet was very special. It was considered a support-type pet. Creatures that were stuck to them would immediately lose their vision, and their whole body would be eroded by dark energy, and their energy would dissipate rapidly.

In addition, Dark Walking Ants could also use the Darkening skill on living beings, allowing living beings to enter a state of full-scale combat power enhancement similar to berserk, the so-called darkening strengthening three times.

In short, Dark Walking Ants had many auxiliary functions, and they could even restore wounds. The most important thing was that if they didn't find their core, they would be almost immortal. It was useless to destroy how many ordinary Dark Ants.

Moreover, in the process of destroying ordinary Dark Ants, the dead ants would turn into the power of dark curses and continue to erode the opponent's energy.

"It's very restrained against Flame-infused Book Spirits." Shi Yu muttered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the battle below had already begun.

Darkening was a super-level skill that could be used on oneself or on others. At this time, the Dark Walking Ants used Darkening on the Dark Three-headed Python!

"Roar!"

In an instant, the already very powerful Dark Three-headed Python's strength, speed, and energy greatly increased, turning into a black shadow and attacking the Skeleton Overlord.

The Skeleton Overlord smashed out a bone fist, but in the process of colliding with the opponent's three-pronged tail, the bones shattered almost instantly!

Crack!

The flames flickered. Under the erosion of the power of darkness, the Skeleton Overlord was forced to retreat.

"Ugh!!!"

It cried out in pain, making the students of Imperial Capital University especially excited.

"Liang Yan!"

"Senior Liang Yan!!"

The darkened Dark Three-headed Python's various qualities were far superior to the Flame Skeleton Overlord.

The existence of the Dark Walking Ants also completely restrained the Flame-infused Book Spirit's flames. The flames, which were originally intended to be converted into a defensive armor, became an internal ghost fire when they encountered the Dark Ants.

The Dark Ants desperately crashed into the flames. After burning a Dark Ant to death, the Skeleton Overlord would be strongly eroded by the power of darkness. In addition, the darkened Dark Three-headed Python was powerful and its offensive was fierce. In an instant, the Skeleton Overlord was beaten to a pulp by the snake tail.

In less than three minutes, Xu Ze was defeated, causing the hearts of the members on the Ancient Capital University side to stop.

Bang!

Bai Xi, who had not merged with her beast ears, slammed the armrest of her chair with a punch in anger.

"Write it down and compensate them later."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing that the members of Ancient Capital University all had solemn expressions, Shi Yu scratched his cheeks beside him.

"How about I go next?"

Although the opponent was not bad, he was not strong to the point of being outrageous. He was about the same as that Fu Andi.

"It's up to you!"

Before Bai Xi could speak, the other Battle Club members spoke one after another.

"So strong..."

At the same time, on the Imperial Capital University side, they all sighed at Liang Yan's strength.

The second in command of Ancient Capital University was directly crushed by their eighth-ranked member. What could they say?!

"As expected." One of the vice-captains of Imperial Capital University, a square-faced man, stood on a high platform, expressionless.

"It's just that this Liang Yan changes pets too frequently. Those that can't evolve are eliminated by him. This isn't very good." Another vice-captain of Imperial Capital University, a single-ponytail girl wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, said.

"It's good as long as he can win." The square-faced man said.

"It's not that simple. This way, it's easy to suffer from pet backlash one day." A middle-aged man walked out.

"Moreover, if those predecessors were like Liang Yan, those guardian gods who are now guarding Dong Huang might have become human enemies long ago with the death of the Beast Tamers. How could they be guarding Dong Huang like they are now."

"Teacher Shen." The two vice-captains of Imperial Capital University immediately spoke when they saw this person.

"Let's watch the exchange activity." He put his gaze back on the field.

Xu Ze was defeated. He retreated to the contestant area with a bit of heartache.

On the Imperial Capital University side, there was a burst of cheers.

As the victor, Liang Yan casually ate a Divine Bean to replenish the consumption of using his dark strengthening talent just now, and his expression was smiling.

However, his expression changed quickly.

Because Xu Ze was walking back, he was met by a young man wearing a red combat suit.

"Shi Yu..."

Xu Ze was slightly stunned when he saw Shi Yu.

"I'll go next." Shi Yu said.

"If you want to challenge the top 10, be careful. The opponents are all perverts." Xu Ze's face darkened.

At this time, as Shi Yu appeared, the venue suddenly quieted down.

Many people's expressions became especially serious, and Yin Zhengfan even stood up directly.

"He's finally here."

"It's that Shi Yu." The important figures on the Imperial Capital University side, Teacher Shen and the two vice-captains, also became serious. Was this Shi Yu going to play so early on the Ancient Capital University side?

"It's the Iron-eating Beast Knight."

"Shi Yu?!"

"He's the Beast Tamer of the Illusion Butterfly? A boy? Not Shi Yu, but Shi Yu? Give me back my miss!"

As Shi Yu appeared, the level of discussion completely exploded Xu Ze.

After all, as Imperial Capital University students, there was no need to pay attention to who the vice-captain of the Ancient Capital University Battle Club was.

To put it in equal terms, it was equivalent to an ordinary school team member of Imperial Capital University.

But Shi Yu was different. This was the man who stole Zou Heavenly King's trending searches...

"Let me see..." After Shi Yu took the stage, he looked at the big screen and said to himself, "Which rank should I challenge from?"

Opposite him, Liang Yan was confused.

Although he was nervous when he saw Shi Yu, what did Shi Yu's words mean?

Was he ignoring him?

"You haven't beaten me yet." His face also darkened and he said to Shi Yu opposite him.

"You were the opponent chosen by Senior Xu Ze. I didn't choose you." Shi Yu was quite serious.

"I want to challenge the first three names..."

Liang Yan: ???

"Shouldn't the new one on stage avenge the one who lost?" He explained the normal process.

Why weren't you playing by the rules!

Shi Yu was stunned and said, "That makes sense, but this isn't a arena battle, and you've already fought once. Your condition isn't the best."

Liang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I contracted a Dark Heart. With its Dark Recovery, the condition of the Three-headed Dragon Python and the Dark Walking Ants hasn't declined much."

"Then it's okay." Shi Yu looked at him.

"Are you sure your conditions have recovered?"

"Sure." Liang Yan said affirmatively.

Although he didn't want to fight Shi Yu either, if he went down in this situation, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the female upperclassmen and junior sisters. It was as if he was afraid of Shi Yu.

From another perspective... If he defeated Shi Yu... that fame might even exceed the two vice-captains!

"Damn, Senior Liang Yan is planning to fight two at once."

"Who can win between him and Shi Yu?"

"Not sure..."

"But seeing Senior Liang Yan defeat that Xu Ze didn't take much effort at all. Maybe..."

Many Imperial Capital University members looked at the field.

The members on the Ancient Capital University side also looked solemnly at the field.

Even Teacher Shen and the two vice-captains of Imperial Capital University were not sure about Shi Yu's strength.

However, they should be able to judge something through this match...

At this time, facing Liang Yan, who had just defeated Xu Ze, Shi Yu slowly walked forward and summoned his pet.

Boom!

As his cloak fluttered, a huge summoning array appeared behind him, majestic and spectacular.

There were terrifying mental fluctuations that permeated from it, turning into a blue aura.

In the spatial ripples, a giant butterfly with a strong sense of oppression, three or four meters in size, slowly appeared.

It had incomparably huge wings, and the entire wing surface was like white waves surging on the azure sea. Its color and pattern were extraordinarily magnificent.

"Roar!!!"

At this time, upon discovering a new opponent, the Dark Three-headed Python on the field revealed its ferocity.

On its body, countless Dark Walking Ants accelerated their crawling speed.

"Shi Yu..."

On the Ancient Capital University side, everyone became nervous.

"Illusion Butterfly..." Liang Yan's expression was also excited and solemn. Just as he wanted to test how strong this transcendent race's life was, an accident happened.

As the Illusion Butterfly appeared, the entire field underwent a drastic change. The stone arena turned into brown earth, full of ancient aura.

The cracked earth was incomparably deep. On the earth, an extremely huge Tyrannosaurus Rex was slowly taking shape.

Seeing this scene, everyone opened their mouths wide.

"Ty... Ty... Tyrannosaurus Rex?!!!"

"This..."

In the next instant, an even more jaw-dropping scene appeared.

"Roar!!!"

After the Tyrannosaurus Rex formed, its eyes were ferocious and exuded a strong dragon might. A brown aura burst out from its whole body!

Boom!!!

In an instant, with the sound of "crack crack crack", the cracked earth became even more fragmented, quickly becoming fragments like broken glass.

Tangible waves bloomed from the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Accompanied by the revival of the ancient overlord, the earth began to rumble. The substantial deterrent fluctuations roared like a storm through the Dark Three-headed Python and the Dark Walking Ants, causing their pupils to be filled with fear, and their bodies involuntarily developed cracked wounds under the deterrent.

Bang!

In the next instant, all the ordinary Dark Ants exploded and died. Under the deterrence, the Dark Three-headed Python, which had Dragon bloodline, suffered unimaginable heavy damage in an instant. Both its spirit and body suffered serious damage. Black blood spurted from its cracked body, and it instantly fainted and fell to the ground.

Mastered Illusory Phantom + Perfect Dragon Might + Illusion Domain...

Pasting the Tyrannosaurus Rex figure stolen from the Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil.

Truly letting the majesty of the ancient overlord descend upon the world again.

At this time, the Illusion Butterfly was still floating in the sky, never moving from beginning to end. Only the Tyrannosaurus Rex was still looking down at Liang Yan, whose eyes were exploding.

"Ho... how..." He stammered as he looked at everything, feeling the loss of consciousness of his two pets in disbelief, feeling the other party's power, and his heart also suffered heavy damage!

He... was insta-killed by deterrence?

Wasn't this... a skill for clearing trash mobs?

"Damn."

On the Ancient Capital University side, including Bai Xi and Xu Ze, everyone opened their mouths wide and had not reacted at all.

Wait, what happened?

"Are you even human?!" Xu Ze, the vice-captain of the Ancient Capital University, cursed and was directly shocked. Shi Yu... this... this...

He had just said that the other party was a monster, and Shi Yu had directly killed him?

On the Imperial Capital University side, it was almost instantly silent. Yin Zhengfan's little face was flushed red, and his eyes were full of shock.

The battle club instructor on this side, as well as the two vice-captains overlooking the overall situation, had shocked expressions almost instantly on their faces.

Everyone was waiting for the Illusion Butterfly to show its strength.

However, as the Illusion Butterfly initially showed its power, everyone lost their ability to think.

Because what they saw was not as simple as the power of a mid-level Overlord Race Commander level.

Which Commander-level pet, even a transcendent race, could train high-level skills to perfection? And form an Profound meaning with Perfect Dragon Might?

Race has never been the strongest aspect of Shi Yu's pets. The truly Unscientific thing about them is the terrifying proficiency of those low-level skills.

At the same time... Shi Yu was thinking... It seemed like there was no need to summon a second pet? The other party was not durable.
