To become Lu Fei's contracted beast!
Lu Fei initially refused, thinking this guy was being too proactive and must have ulterior motives. But he couldn't resist the guy's persistent pestering, and somehow, he had learned to act cute, act spoiled, and play the victim.
But Lu Fei knew that this guy had been living with Brother Chicken during this time...
Out of desperation, and because Lu Fei currently needed reinforcements for his team.
He urgently needed a partner who could output damage from a distance, and this candidate seemed...
Emmm... Even in his current form, Hei Pi's long-range output capabilities were extremely powerful!
Thus, Lu Fei decided to form a contracted partnership with Hei Pi.
However, it was precisely when Lu Fei subdued Hei Pi that the original daytime suddenly turned into night!
A complete, utter darkness, without a sliver of light. Not just in a specific region, but the entire Beast Taming Continent had inexplicably plunged into darkness!
Although the duration was not long, such an unpredicted event immediately caused worldwide panic.
Especially among top scientific researchers and some reclusive figures who had previously lived in seclusion, they all emerged from their retreats!
However, Lu Fei, the instigator of this event, was unaware of all this.
Lu Fei was immersed in his own world.
A student from Tiecheng Tuo Academy noticed the expressions on Bai Qianqian and the others' faces, mistaking their silent mockery for disdain. He frowned.
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly said,
"I say, not to mention Young Master Liu, even our own Zhou Qi is better than this so-called trash academy. Entering the top hundred would be a piece of cake."
"Hahaha, Zhou Qi, did you hear that? Someone's praising you."
From behind a few people, a short, stout teenager poked his head out.
Clearly understanding the implied meaning of these words, he sneered and honestly replied, "My strength is the weakest among everyone. Senior, please don't joke with me."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.
This was exactly the effect they wanted.
The person who spoke earlier immediately followed up,
"It's not bragging if it's true. In all past inter-academy beast taming competitions, our Tiecheng Tuo Academy has definitely ranked in the top three. The strength of our participating students is naturally much stronger than those random nobodies. I don't know what the organizing committee was thinking, arranging us with a weak academy that has no reputation at all. It's such a downgrade."
Although they found their companion's sudden mention of Cang Town Beast Taming Academy a bit strange, everyone present already looked down on Cang Town Beast Taming Academy and didn't care. Instead, they cooperated by roaring with laughter.
This infuriated the group from Cang Town Beast Taming Academy.
Zhou Tao, who had a more impatient temper, immediately stood up and glared furiously at the Tiecheng Tuo Academy group.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Manman, Zhang Wan, and the others also glared angrily at the Tiecheng Tuo Academy group.
Anyone would be furious if they were mocked in such a sarcastic manner.
Yet, the person who had spoken the mockery not only did not restrain himself but instead lifted his chin, showing a contemptuous expression, and said,
"It's one thing that the people from your Cang Town Beast Taming Academy are weak, but can you even hear properly?"
"You're talking out of your ass!"
Enraged, Zhou Tao took a step forward and cursed.
Seeing this, the boys from Tiecheng Tuo Academy, led by Zhang Song, also stood up abruptly, glaring and pointing at Zhou Tao.
"What are you doing, want to fight?"
Li Mo and Chen Fan, along with a few other boys, naturally refused to back down and stood up one after another.
The two sides immediately glared at each other and started yelling insults.
Staff members outside the room, hearing the commotion, quickly pushed the door open and shouted,
"No arguing or private fights are allowed in the waiting room. Everyone return to your seats, or we will cancel your eligibility to participate!"
Upon hearing this, the two sides, who were on the verge of fighting, managed to suppress their anger and reluctantly returned to their seats, but they continued to glare fiercely at each other.
The staff member glanced at them and warned, "If I catch you arguing again, I will immediately report it to the committee and have you penalized!"
After saying this, seeing that neither side had any objections, he closed the door and left.
Silence was restored in the room.
The two sides glared at each other, then after a moment, they both snorted coldly and looked away.
"Hmph, a weak academy, but quite temperamental!"
A male student from Tiecheng Tuo Academy said disdainfully.
With the staff member's warning, he dared not mock openly this time, but instead lowered his voice.
"Exactly, a weak academy, yet they have the nerve to glare at us. I wonder where they get the audacity!"
"I remember, in some year, someone from Cang Town Beast Taming Academy entered the top hundred, but they were thoroughly beaten and eventually surrendered. Hahaha, how many times has Cang Town Beast Taming Academy participated in this inter-academy competition? They're still a level three academy! Hahaha."
"Only one person? No wonder they're so weak. What was that guy's name? Where is he now?"
"I think his name was Lei Mang? Forget it, let's not bother with such insignificant opponents. Everyone, take a break, the competition is about to start."
Yang Song finally had to step in to calm his companions' anger.
However, at this moment, a person was quietly standing outside the door.
It was Lei Mang.
At this moment, his face was ashen and extremely unpleasant.
The people from Cang Town Beast Taming Academy also noticed Lei Mang, and their expressions changed.
No one would like hearing such words.
They could only speak to ease the awkwardness.
"Those people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy are too arrogant, mocking us for no reason!"
"They're just a little famous, and they're already so arrogant!"
"Exactly, they even say entering the top ten is easy. Bah, when they see Lu Fei's strength, they'll understand what it means to be a frog in a well!"
The last sentence drew everyone's agreement.
What was Liu Mancheng compared to this?
He was driven out of the ruins, but Lu Fei was different. He entered the ninth level and was treated as a distinguished guest by the Bai family.
Listening to everyone's boasting, Lu Fei thought to himself, Ahhhh, don't drag me into your bragging...
