Zhou Tao's victory still relied on the dark-type contracted beast he subdued in the Tower of the Undead, catching his opponent completely off guard!
At the same time.
The entire Iron City Tuo Academy looked towards Lu Fei.
Everyone from both academies was filled with joy, as five of their members had advanced into the top 100.
The depth of Iron City Tuo Academy was evident!
However, whenever their gazes met, it was either disdain or a simultaneous cold snort, creating a palpable atmosphere of rivalry.
After two rounds of matches, though the participants' soul power and stamina had not been depleted, their spirits were already somewhat weary.
After a two-day rest, the main tournament was about to begin!
Several individuals were already seated, eyes closed, conserving their energy for the upcoming battles.
A large number of participants had been eliminated in the first two rounds.
Only a hundred students remained, all of whom were outstanding individuals who had fought their way through a multitude of elites.
Not a single one was weak.
Lu Fei estimated that after the third round of matches, either Bai Qianqian or Zhou Tao would be eliminated.
As he pondered, Lu Fei's peripheral vision caught Bai Qianqian taking a deep breath beside him. Her expression seemed a bit nervous, so he quietly consoled her:
"Senior Qianqian, you seem a little tired?"
Bai Qianqian gave a slight smile.
"A little, I'll be fine after a short rest."
In the waiting area.
Lei Mang excitedly reported the upcoming matches to everyone.
Three of them entering the top 100 was an unprecedented feat for Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy!
Just as everyone was celebrating.
"Kid, you're Lu Fei?"
The group from Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy was interrupted by this voice and turned to look at the approaching person.
The appearance was very familiar.
It was Liu Mancheng!
Even Chen Fan, who was usually talkative, subconsciously closed his mouth, refraining from mocking.
Lu Fei didn't even bother to stand up. He raised his head and smiled, "That's right, it's me."
Liu Mancheng's voice was filled with arrogance.
"Call out your contracted beast and let me see it."
Lu Fei sneered dismissively.
"Why should I show you?"
Liu Mancheng's expression immediately changed, and he narrowed his eyes.
"You should know who I am!"
Lu Fei stood up and burst into laughter.
"Of course I know. You went to the ruins of the Tower of the Undead with your family's lackey, only to be stopped yourself. Your family's lackey was also held back. I wonder if you've brought them back yet?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mancheng's body jolted, his eyes widening.
From the side of Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy came soft chuckles, a feeling of immense satisfaction washing over them. The feeling of talking back like this was just too good!
"Are you seeking death?"
Lu Fei shrugged his shoulders.
He looked completely indifferent. That day in the Tower of the Undead, he had shown no respect to the Chu family. Seeing that they were already on opposing sides, Lu Fei naturally saw no reason to give the other party any courtesy.
Liu Mancheng did not get angry but instead laughed.
"Good, good, good."
"You'd best not let me meet you, otherwise, I'll kill all your contracted beasts one by one!"
A threat!
An absolute threat!
A killing aura surged towards them!
The entire Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy shivered.
After Liu Mancheng left, Chen Fan whispered, "Lu Fei, this Liu Mancheng is not only a genius student of Iron City Tuo Academy, but he's also the young lord of Iron City Tuo... You've offended him..."
Lu Fei merely responded with an "Oh."
He said with a forced smile, "This is the best whetstone."
Everyone was perplexed.
Lu Fei's face was alight with excitement.
After a two-day rest.
The third round of matches officially began.
Just as Lu Fei had predicted, the competition progressed halfway, and some members of the group were eliminated.
Bai Qianqian narrowly advanced.
"My luck is a bit bad, I encountered Cang Long Academy."
Zhou Tao sighed.
His expression was extremely gloomy. His strength was not weak, but facing a renowned, high-level beast tamer made the fight a bit challenging.
With his current strength, he should have been able to persist for a few more matches.
Who knew he would run into such a formidable opponent by sheer bad luck.
"Lu Fei, keep up the good work!"
Zhou Tao patted Lu Fei on the shoulder.
Lu Fei returned a polite smile.
When they had first met, he had been bullied by Zhou Tao, but now, the Zhou family had essentially become his subordinates. In such a situation, he naturally had to be a bit more accommodating.
They were all going to make big money together.
On the other side.
Apart from Liu Mancheng, everyone else from Iron City Tuo Academy had also finished their matches.
With the exception of one person who was defeated and eliminated, the remaining four all advanced.
A group of people excitedly high-fived and cheered.
Someone noticed the expressions of the eliminated contestants from Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy, curled their lips, and whispered to a companion:
"Look at the expressions on those guys, they've probably eliminated quite a few people."
"I just heard, they seem to only have two people left, hahaha."
"That's why I said, those guys are just a bunch of weaklings."
"Alright, ignore them. It's time for Young Master Liu's match."
"What is Young Master Liu worried about? He'll definitely win!"
"That's for sure!"
Facing the flattery of his companions, Liu Mancheng wore an expression of disdain, his gaze towards Lu Fei filled with cold malice.
It was now his turn to fight.
Soon, the match-up and countdown appeared on the screen.
Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned.
[Iron City Tuo Academy - Liu Mancheng] vs [Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy - Lu Fei]
Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy? Lu Fei?
The people from Iron City Tuo Academy were immediately taken aback, then they all turned their heads in unison, looking towards the opposite side.
Just then, Zhou Tao and the others also saw the match-up information and looked up.
The two sides' gazes immediately met.
This was truly a case of enemies crossing paths!
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the members of Iron City Tuo Academy snapped back to reality, their faces breaking into mocking expressions.
"Tsk, tsk, we just finished talking about them and now we're up against someone from Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy. What a coincidence."
"Excellent! Young Master Liu can properly teach him a lesson now!"
"Who said he wasn't lucky? He just had the misfortune of running into Young Master Liu!"
"It seems like Cang Zhen Beast Taming Academy is going to be completely eliminated!"
The students of Iron City Tuo Academy chuckled in unison, their expressions filled with pride, and their gazes towards the opposite side were full of ridicule.
They were full of confidence in Liu Mancheng.
