Since she was among the top students in her grade and currently held the third seat, Wu Xuan’s information was almost entirely available on the official website.
Wu Xuan, a second-year student in the Vermilion Bird Class at Vermilion Bird Academy, currently ranked third in her grade. Her level was Second Rank, Seventh Level, and her strength was formidable, nearly on par with Yang Qianxue, who was in second place.
She possessed two spiritual pets: a Thunder Bear at Second Rank, Seventh Level, and a Phantom Lizard at Second Rank, Fourth Level.
The Thunder Bear, as its name suggests, was a power-type, lightning-attribute bear spiritual pet. Not only was it incredibly strong, but it also possessed a highly destructive lightning element attribute.
As for the Phantom Lizard, it had a particularly troublesome ability: invisibility. This made it akin to an invisible assassin, capable of launching surprise attacks on enemy spiritual pets and even directly attacking the Spirit Tamer.
Although Spirit Tamers could use Spiritual Vision to see some invisible things, Spiritual Vision was a continuously consuming spiritual technique, and even Spirit Tamers wouldn’t use it for long periods.
Moreover, even if a Spirit Tamer could use Spiritual Vision, their spiritual pets could not. They had to rely on the Spirit Tamer’s command to possibly fend off attacks from invisible enemies.
One reason Zhao Siyu maintained her position as the top second-year student was that her strength had reached Second Rank, Eighth Level. A one-level difference might not seem significant, but being a level higher always provided an advantage.
Every time Wu Xuan challenged Zhao Siyu, Zhao Siyu had to be extremely cautious. If it weren’t for her Gale Dragon, she might have already lost to Wu Xuan in previous battles.
The Gale Dragon’s speed was so fast that before the Phantom Lizard could launch a surprise attack on Zhao Siyu, the Gale Dragon had already reached Wu Xuan.
Defeating the opponent before being defeated oneself was also considered a victory.
After understanding the opponent’s strength, spiritual pets, and corresponding abilities, Ye Ling felt relieved. The Thunder Bear was manageable; a powerful lightning-attribute spiritual pet could be left to Blood Phantom without any issues.
The slightly troublesome one was the Phantom Lizard, which could turn invisible and launch surprise attacks from anywhere. However, Ye Ling possessed the True Eye, which allowed him to see through invisibility. Coupled with his abundant Spiritual Power Points, Ye Ling wasn’t worried about consumption issues.
Moreover, with Feng Jiu’s capabilities, she could handle the Phantom Lizard entirely.
In Ye Ling’s view, this battle was almost a guaranteed victory for him, with no chance of losing. Of course, this confidence was due to the inherent strength of Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu. Without such powerful spiritual pets, Ye Ling wouldn’t have this level of confidence.
…
The news of Wu Xuan challenging Ye Ling had spread throughout the academy across all grades. Anyone unaware of such explosive news would likely be ridiculed for being so out of touch.
There were two very popular posts on the official website. One was titled, “Second-year third seat Wu Xuan challenges the newly enrolled, grade-skipping freshman, and the academy’s only male student, Ye Ling.” The other was, “The only male student, Ye Ling, unafraid of strong opponents, will meet the challenge on the stage tomorrow.”
The posts included chat records, one of Wu Xuan actively challenging Ye Ling and the other of Ye Ling accepting the challenge.
Since enrolling, Ye Ling’s stories had been endless. Just as the buzz was dying down and Ye Ling was fading from the spotlight, he was thrust back into the limelight with another hot topic.
“Ever since Ye Ling came to our academy, it feels like every headline on the official website is related to him.”
“Who wouldn’t agree? But there’s no helping it; he’s the only male student in our academy, constantly under the spotlight.”
“Hahaha! Didn’t you notice the nickname earlier? ‘Class Treasure,’ what a name!”
“No, Ye Ling should belong to everyone; he should be called ‘School Treasure.’”
“Aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing? Shouldn’t we be focusing on the challenge?”
“The person above is right. Wu Xuan is very strong. How can Ye Ling, a newly enrolled student, compete with her?”
“I must say, Wu Xuan is really something. Why target our adorable junior? If she doesn’t want him, she can give him to us.”
“Exactly, a second-year third seat bullying a newly enrolled student is a bit much.”
…
The official website was abuzz with discussions, with most people thinking Wu Xuan’s actions were somewhat inappropriate. No matter what, Ye Ling was still a newly enrolled student, and her actions were indeed a bit excessive.
However, Wu Xuan herself didn’t care about the opinions. She only cared about what she believed was right, and she had no interest in knowing or wanting to know anything unrelated to herself.
As for the challenge against Ye Ling, she wouldn’t back down.
