Chapter 112: Even the Third and Fourth Ranked Second-Year Students Together Couldn't Beat Meng Xiyue!
"Did you hear about it?"
"Hear about what?"
"About Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy visiting our Imperial Capital Great Empire Academy. She awakened just over two months ago, and since arriving at our academy, she's consecutively defeated the fifth to tenth strongest second-year awakeners!"
"This Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy is that strong? What's her ability?"
"Beast Mastery ability. She can control awakened beasts in battle, and it's an SSS rank. I think North Shore Academy sent her to challenge the reputation of our Imperial Capital Great Empire Academy, the top awakening academy in the Nine Provinces!"
Lin Tianming and Chu Yunfei had just finished lunch and overheard some people discussing Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy.
Lin Tianming remembered meeting a young male beast master in the Lost Forest yesterday.
Could that male beast master also be from North Shore Academy?
Chu Yunfei, who was with Lin Tianming, also heard the discussions. He recalled something and put his arm around Lin Tianming's shoulder.
"Tianming, I was going to tell you about this SSS beast master Meng Xiyue. Yesterday, she first challenged Lei Dong, the tenth strongest second-year student, whom you previously defeated. Then she consecutively challenged the ninth to fifth-ranked students. If there had been enough time, I think she would have defeated all ten strongest second-year students yesterday!
You wouldn't believe it. I watched a few of her matches; she's incredibly strong, almost winning by one-sided beatdowns. She looked even fiercer than when you beat Lei Dong!
Now the internet is buzzing with rumors that Meng Xiyue, a first-year student who beat our second-year students, is stronger than you. She's considered the strongest among the newly awakened students in the Nine Provinces this year. Because of her, many are saying our Imperial Capital Great Empire Academy's reputation as the top awakening academy is undeserved!"
Seeing Chu Yunfei's animated expression as he described Meng Xiyue's prowess, Lin Tianming pondered, "What level is she at now? Level 15?"
"Level 17. You advanced to level 16 after defeating Lei Dong, and she's already a level higher than you. This year's top first-year students are all monsters!"
Hearing that Meng Xiyue was level 17 surprised Lin Tianming.
He had undergone various grueling lightning training sessions under Teacher Jiang Han, accumulating experience to nearly break through his bottleneck, only achieving level 17 in the Lost Forest yesterday.
Meng Xiyue's rapid advancement indicated her training intensity might be comparable to Jiang Han's specialized regimen for him.
Noticing Lin Tianming's surprise, Chu Yunfei teased, "Our genius Lin Tianming, feeling the pressure? That outsider Meng Xiyue leveled up faster than you!"
"I'm not feeling pressured."
Lin Tianming wasn't actually feeling pressured, just surprised that she advanced to level 17 faster than him.
It seemed that Meng Xiyue's training intensity was on par with the specialized training he received from Teacher Jiang Han.
"There's another duel at Wind Bell Arena! They say Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy is challenging the fourth and third strongest second-year students, Li Hao and Zhang Zixi!"
"What? Meng Xiyue again! Wait for me, I have to see this. I missed her challenges yesterday, but I need to witness today's in person!"
Walking back to their dorm, Lin Tianming and Chu Yunfei overheard more people talking about Meng Xiyue's upcoming challenge.
Chu Yunfei suggested, "Tianming, let's go watch. Let's see if Meng Xiyue can beat the fourth-ranked Li Hao and the third-ranked Zhang Zixi!"
Intrigued by the highly talked-about Meng Xiyue, Lin Tianming nodded.
"Alright, let's go see."
They headed towards Wind Bell Arena together.
At Wind Bell Arena, a student duel had just ended.
Li Hao, the fourth-ranked second-year student, and Zhang Zixi, the third-ranked, lay exhausted in the arena.
"Thank you for the match, seniors."
Meng Xiyue smiled politely after easily defeating Zhang Zixi and Li Hao.
Li Hao smiled wryly, "Meng Xue, you are indeed strong. I, Li Hao, admit defeat."
Zhang Zixi, not bothered by the loss, yawned, "It's over. Time for me to go sleep!"
As they prepared to leave, Meng Xiyue politely asked, "Do you know where Senior Mo Jinghong and Senior Yongyu are? Or do you have a way to call them here?"
Surprised that Meng Xiyue wanted to continue challenging, Li Hao and Zhang Zixi exchanged glances.
After a moment, Li Hao kindly advised her.
"We can't summon them. Though you beat us, they are on a whole different level with their SSS abilities. Unlike Lei Dong, who wasted his talent, their true strength is far superior. Be cautious if you challenge them."
"Thank you for the advice, senior. If you can't call them, I'll find my own way!"
Meng Xiyue left the arena first.
After the battle, Li Hao and Zhang Zixi also left.
But their departure didn't stop the surrounding students from discussing the fight.
"Li Hao and Zhang Zixi, the fourth and third strongest second-year students, both level 28, were defeated by Meng Xiyue. Is she really just level 17?"
"She asked them to fight together, and I thought she was arrogant, but she actually had the ability to win 2-on-1. And she wants to challenge Mo Jinghong and Yongyu next without resting!"
"I thought Lin Tianming beating Lei Dong was impressive, but now there's an even stronger outsider, Meng Xiyue, aiming to dominate our academy!"
Listening to the students' discussions, Wang Jian, who witnessed the fight, agreed deeply.
"Why are this year's freshmen so strong? Our academy has Lin Tianming, and now North Shore Academy has Meng Xiyue!"
Just then, a voice behind Wang Jian, who was talking to himself, made his blood pressure rise.
"Hey, Tianming, isn't that the brother-in-law you beat up before? What a coincidence, he's here too! Did we miss the duel? Why is Wind Bell Arena so quiet?"
