C17 – Beginning Battle

When the trio from Class 7 arrived at the stadium, they found it already filled to capacity. Seated on the elevated platform were three individuals: the principal, Pei Dong, and two military officers donning their service caps.

Pei Dong introduced them with fervor, “These gentlemen are the captain and vice-captain of the Wolf Fang Special Ops Team from Krukshire. They represent the Krukshire military here to observe our event. Let’s give them a warm welcome!”

All eyes turned to the two officers with curiosity. Jiao Yuanju was stunned to recognize Pei Xiaobo, whom he had just encountered the previous evening. “Brother Pei?” he exclaimed.

Jing Haokuo, puzzled, inquired, “Boss, who are you calling out to?”

“It’s nothing,” Jiao Yuanju dismissed.

With earnest gratitude, Jing Haokuo expressed, “Thank you.”

Jiao Yuanju responded with a smile, “I believe in you. Since you’re eager to showcase your skills, I’m here to help!”

Jing Haokuo was deeply moved, resolutely deciding to follow his leader’s commands.

After Pei Dong’s lengthy speech, he finally declared, “Now, the class representative will draw lots. In the first round, twenty classes will compete against each other, with the top ten emerging victorious.”

Jiao Yuanju drew the number eight.

“I will now announce the matchups: number one versus number six, number four versus number three, and number eight versus number eleven.”

Pei Chang spoke up in a panic, “Jiao Yuanju, we’re all relying on you!”

Without a word, Jiao Yuanju turned to Zhen Heyi and Jing Haokuo and said, “This is our first time working together. Tell me about your Combat Pets’ abilities.”

“My Earth Boar has incredibly thick skin,” Jing Haokuo explained. “It can execute a Sprint and Groundbreak.”

Zhen Heyi added, “My Lightning Leopard is swift. It can perform a Lightning Charge and unleash the Wrath of Thunder.”

Jiao Yuanju listened intently, then directed, “Haokuo, you lead the charge. I’ll be in the middle, with the Lightning Leopard providing support. Let’s move out!”

Both of them stared at the unusually composed Jiao Yuanju, astonished. “Aren’t you nervous?” they asked.

“Why should I be?” Jiao Yuanju replied coolly.

The crowd watched in awe as the black cat lunged at Eoldrai.

Eoldrai darted out with the speed of lightning, outpacing the cat with ease!

With a swift bite, Eoldrai clamped onto the black cat’s neck and floored it!

“Don’t harm it—I surrender!” the owner cried out, knowing all too well the Snake King’s venomous reputation.

Meanwhile, the Flame Turkey made a beeline for Zhen Heyi, spewing flames in a fiery display.

Zhen Heyi simply smiled as her Lightning Leopard crackled with electric might, surging forward in a Lightning Charge.

The Flame Turkey, looking rather foolish post-flame burst, was promptly sent flying by the Lightning Leopard.

The defeated trio pleaded for mercy, their faces etched with despair.

“I can’t believe how strong I am!” Jing Haokuo exclaimed, his self-praise eliciting a collective sigh from the audience.

Jiao Yuanju and his team had indeed wrapped up their battle with remarkable speed.

Soon after, the remaining matches concluded, with the most surprising outcome being Xie Ziyu of the third class finishing her battles second.

Her status as an elite Combat Pet Master and her possession of a rare Combat Pet had everyone’s eyes on her. Yet, aside from her role as class monitor, she hardly stood out. Could she possibly be stronger than Jing Dehai and his peers?

As the ten teams converged in the square, a palpable fighting spirit radiated from each group.

Pei Xiaobo scanned the crowd and his gaze landed on Jiao Yuanju. Surprise washed over his face. “Jiao!” he exclaimed.

Jiao Yuanju responded with a smile and a nod to Pei Xiaobo, choosing to remain silent.

The people on the stage were stunned. Pei Dong stared at Jiao Yuanju and Pei Xiaobo, his expression one of sheer disbelief. Pei Xiaobo knew Jiao Yuanju?

Jing Dehai and the rest were equally astonished as they looked at Jiao Yuanju. They hadn’t anticipated that he would be acquainted with the special forces captain from the Skysea Military District!

Jing Haokuo watched Jiao Yuanju with excitement. “Boss, you’re incredibly strong!” he declared.

The revelation sent a wave of shock through everyone on stage, followed by a sense of unease. Did Jiao Yuanju have some unknown influence behind him?

Zhen Heyi observed Jiao Yuanju with growing curiosity.
