It was Ye Ling’s turn to take the stage again, and he ran into Chen Zhi, who had just stepped down not long ago.
“Old Chen, take it easy. You’ve already passed the first round, so it can’t get any worse.”
Seeing Chen Zhi looking a bit down, Ye Ling patted his shoulder and comforted him.
With Chen Zhi’s strength, making it to the second round was already quite an achievement.
Entering the second round usually meant catching the attention of the Intermediate Spirit Tamer Academy.
Although he lost, Chen Zhi wasn’t too discouraged; he had already anticipated this outcome.
Even if he could only get into the Intermediate Spirit Tamer Academy, he would be satisfied.
He knew his own talent well enough to understand that he wasn’t a genius, just someone who worked hard.
Chen Zhi placed his hand on Ye Ling’s shoulder and nodded.
“Yeah, don’t worry about me. I’m fine, just a bit regretful. Old Ye, give it your all. You’re a dark horse now, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how far you can go.”
“Dark horse…”
Hearing this term, Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
If he wasn’t careful, he might mishear it as “stud horse.”
“Do your best. I’ll be watching you from below.”
With that, Chen Zhi dragged his tired body towards the resting area.
Ye Ling, on the other hand, headed towards the first arena.
This time, his opponent wasn’t an ordinary student.
It was Feng Haotian from the Feng Family, a second-rate family in Skyshine City.
His strength was definitely not weak, and he was also one of the top students in the class.
Feng Haotian stood on the opposite side of the arena with his arms crossed, his face full of indifference.
He didn’t pay much attention to Ye Ling, nor did he think highly of him.
Although Ye Ling’s performance in the first round was impressive, Feng Haotian believed it was only because Ye Ling’s opponent was too weak.
Even if it were him, he could have easily defeated the opponent.
Moreover, Feng Haotian believed he had already analyzed Ye Ling’s spiritual pet’s strengths during the first round.
It was nothing more than sheer power, likely a physically strong spiritual pet.
As long as he didn’t let Ye Ling get close, winning wouldn’t be a problem for Feng Haotian.
Opening his eyes to look at Ye Ling, Feng Haotian kindly reminded him.
“If you want to surrender early, that’s fine. It’ll save you from getting hurt later.”
He already knew Blood Phantom’s weaknesses. With his spiritual pet, he was almost invincible and couldn’t possibly lose.
How could he lose?
If he lost, it would be unreasonable.
Surrendering was something Ye Ling hadn’t even considered, nor did he need to.
“Don’t speak too soon. We won’t know who will win until we fight.”
At this moment, in the stands outside the arena, the various family representatives were seated.
Among the five second-rate families in Skyshine City, all were present except for the Liu Family. The Feng Family, He Family, Yun Family, and Luo Family were all here.
As for why the Liu Family wasn’t here, wasn’t it obvious?
Liu Wu of the Liu Family had brought great shame to the Liu Family.
In such circumstances, how could the Liu Family show up? Would they come here just to be ridiculed by the other families?
At least the Liu Family didn’t have such thick skin to face ridicule and sit here calmly.
At this moment, the head of the Feng Family wore a confident smile.
“It seems Haotian’s luck is pretty good this time, not encountering any disciples from the three major families. Otherwise, he might have been stopped here.”
This random draw had an element of luck. Even a talented individual could rank lower if they encountered a stronger opponent.
In the eyes of the Feng Family head, as long as Haotian didn’t face disciples from the three major families, he was almost guaranteed to win.
Even the other second-rate family disciples couldn’t be a match for Feng Haotian.
The head of the Yun Family shook his head slightly. He didn’t get along well with the Feng Family head and naturally didn’t like seeing him show off.
“You can’t say that. I think Haotian’s opponent is quite good. His spiritual pet took down a Unicorn Armored Rhino in one blow. That’s impressive.
I think it’s better to be cautious. If Haotian loses, it would be a real embarrassment.”
Even verbally, the Yun Family head enjoyed putting down the Feng Family head.
Hearing this, the Feng Family head’s face stiffened.
His good mood was instantly ruined. He shot a cold glance at the Yun Family head.
“Hmph! Let’s see who ends up embarrassed.”
With that, he ignored the Yun Family head.
Among the families in Skyshine City, some had good relations, while others had poor ones.
The Yun Family and Feng Family clearly had a poor relationship.
They would seize any opportunity to suppress each other.
Seeing the Feng Family head in a bad mood, the Yun Family head felt very pleased.
“Let’s see!”
Back in the arena, Feng Haotian didn’t say much more and directly summoned his spiritual pet.
“Time to fight, Blue Bird!”
From his Spiritual Pet Seal, a sky-blue light shot into the air.
