Chapter 54 – Bet


The loud reprimands coming from that direction were clearly heard by Shang Lingkong and the other representatives from the Spirit Tamer Academy.

How could Shang Lingkong not remember Liu Wu?

After all, he was the son of the Liu Family, and they had met a few times before.

He had assumed that these family scions would at least pass the first phase of the assessment.

Shang Lingkong never expected that Liu Wu would be eliminated on the second day.

From the current situation, Liu Wu might be the first among all the family scions in Skyshine City to be eliminated.

Just thinking about the constipated look on Liu Yun’s face, the head of the Liu Family, brought a bit of joy to Shang Lingkong.

Shang Lingkong had always found these family scions particularly annoying.

“This must be a family scion, but looking at him now, he’s just so-so.”

Bai Tong glanced at the disheveled Liu Wu, his expression full of disdain.

Family scions had a higher starting point, and if they couldn’t pass the assessment, it was extremely embarrassing.

Generally, family scions who couldn’t pass the first phase of the assessment were considered worse than waste.

So, imagining Liu Wu’s future, he was essentially already ruined.

“Useless rage is pointless; standing here only disgraces his family.”

Huo Ling, also a family scion, felt embarrassed for Liu Wu seeing his current behavior.

Lu Feng and Hong Xiu didn’t say much, but their expressions made it clear.

They also looked down on someone like Liu Wu.

“Do you think… Ye Ling has any chance of defeating the Black Feather Eagle? I feel like the possibility isn’t small.”

Compared to Liu Wu, Huo Ling was more focused on Ye Ling, who was currently being targeted by the Black Feather Eagle.

She could tell that the Black Feather Eagle was at the First Rank, Eighth Level.

It was clearly not on the same level as the Steel-winged Bird Ye Ling had dealt with before.

The Black Feather Eagle was inherently more aggressive than the Steel-winged Bird, and now it was at a higher level.

It was obvious that Ye Ling was facing a significant challenge.

“Defeat the Black Feather Eagle? Teacher Huo, are you sure you’re not joking?”

Lu Feng looked at Huo Ling in disbelief.

Even though he had high hopes for Ye Ling, he didn’t think Ye Ling could defeat the Black Feather Eagle.

Among the students, the strongest known was at the First Rank, Eighth Level.

And even then, their Spiritual Pets couldn’t fly.

Flying Spiritual Pets had a natural advantage over non-flying ones.

In other words, among the students, there might be one or two who could confront the Black Feather Eagle head-on.

But Ye Ling was clearly not one of those students in Lu Feng’s opinion.

“Teacher Lu, that’s not how it works. The outcome isn’t decided yet; no one knows what will happen.”

Compared to Lu Feng, Hong Xiu agreed more with Huo Ling’s viewpoint.

Hearing this, Lu Feng just smiled and didn’t say more.

In his opinion, Ye Ling had only two options now.

Either run away or quit the assessment.

As for confronting it head-on, Lu Feng didn’t think Ye Ling would do something so foolish.

When facing a higher-level flying demon, the best strategy was to use the terrain or some other method to escape.

“Whether he can or can’t, it’s not up to us. We’ll know if we keep watching. I’m getting more and more curious about Ye Ling.”

Huo Ling was very interested in Ye Ling.

Why would someone who was supposed to be at the bottom of the class suddenly show such a significant change?

Maybe Ye Ling had been disguising himself all along to avoid trouble and study peacefully.

Now that he was about to enter the Spirit Tamer Academy, he might be aiming to make a stunning debut.

It’s not impossible.

No one would have thought that someone who was definitely at the bottom of the class, or even the grade, would have such powerful abilities.

At this moment, Bai Tong made a suggestion.

“Just watching is boring. How about we place a bet?”

Watching alone was getting dull, so they might as well make it interesting.

Hearing this, Hong Xiu showed a bit of interest.

Although she couldn’t recruit Ye Ling into the Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy, it didn’t stop her from being curious about this special student.

“Sure! No problem, what do you want to bet on?”

These teachers from the top Spirit Tamer Academies had some resources at their disposal.

And they received a considerable amount of Federation Credit Points as their monthly salary.

“No need to bet resources or anything complicated. Let’s keep it simple, five thousand Federation Credit Points. How about that?”

Bai Tong didn’t suggest betting resources, opting for the hard currency, Federation Credit Points.

Five thousand Federation Credit Points weren’t much for those in the Sacred City.

But in a place like Skyshine City, it was quite a bit.

“Agreed, I’ll bet five thousand on Ye Ling winning.”

Huo Ling agreed without any hesitation.

“Alright, but I’ll bet five thousand that he’ll run.”

Lu Feng didn’t mind the Federation Credit Points.

However, he bet that Ye Ling wouldn’t confront the Black Feather Eagle head-on but would run instead.
