A Slap

Fang Xuan and Shen Yuechao faced each other from afar. A great battle could break out at any moment.

The latter revealed a disdainful smile and curled his finger at Fang Xuan.

Although he had just suffered a defeat in Fang Xuan's dormitory not long ago, he still did not take this new student with F-rank talent seriously. This was also his conceit as a member of the royal family.

But very quickly, this mentality underwent an earth-shattering change. Fang Xuan's figure flashed as he rushed in front of Shen Yuechao. Without the support of his familiar, he raised his hand and threw a punch at his opponent.

Everything happened too quickly. Other than Leng Lingxiao, no one could react in time. Shen Yuechao did not even have the time to raise his hand to block the attack before he was sent flying.

In the next moment, a huge Familiar blocked Fang Xuan's path. His fist landed on the Familiar's body, causing the latter to stagger back a few steps.

"D*mn, Shen Yuechao's familiar was actually forced out first. This is going to be interesting," a cloaked figure whose face couldn't be seen said calmly in the crowd.

This huge familiar was the complete ancient mammoth. At this moment, it stood between the two of them and shook its head in pain. Its small brown eyes stared fixedly at Fang Xuan, who had just punched out.

"Good, very good. No one can protect you today. I'm going to kill you…"

Before Shen Yuechao could finish speaking, the ancient mammoth wailed and fell to the ground.

A contemptuous smile appeared on Fang Xuan's face. "Oh? Senior Brother Shen sure has a big tone. What do you think you're going to do to me?"

The ancient mammoth twisted on the ground in pain, as if it was suffering a great deal of pain.

The entire venue was in an uproar. No one knew what technique Fang Xuan had used to cause an S-rank Ancient Mammoth to become like this from more than ten meters away.

What else could he do? Fang Xuan only needed to slightly control the ants. The punch just now seemed powerful and heavy, but in reality, he only used half of his strength. His true goal was to spread the ants in his sleeve to the ancient mammoth through this punch.

Now that he had achieved his goal, the latter had lost his ability to fight.

"What… what the f*ck did you do??"

The ancient mammoth kept twisting and struggling on the ground. Even Shen Yuechao could not get close to it. He could only sense the ancient mammoth's painful emotions through their spiritual connection.

"Senior Brother Shen, if you want to continue, I can't guarantee what will happen to your beast next."

"Despicable. You only know how to use such despicable methods. I admit defeat!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Xuan immediately controlled the ant to stop moving. The ancient mammoth also stopped struggling and soon stood up.

Leng Lingxiao narrowed his eyes at the scene before him. He could sense that there was something fishy about Fang Xuan's punch, but he could not capture the exact situation. Even he did not know the reason behind the abnormality of the ancient mammoth.

However, there was only one thing he knew: Fang Xuan had won. He had defeated the genius contestant Shen Yuechao, who was two years older than him. This was his student.

As soon as Shen Yuechao admitted defeat, the atmosphere in the arena was instantly ignited. Waves of cheers resounded in the sky above the martial arts arena. Most of these were junior students who had been bullied by Shen Yuechao. Now that they saw him suffer, they naturally felt a little proud.

Fang Xuan also had a smile on his face as he walked towards Shen Yuechao.

"W-What are you going to do?"

"Shen, have you forgotten our bet?"

"How dare you…"

Before he could react, a loud slap landed on Shen Yuechao's face.

This time, Fang Xuan's speed was even faster than before. Still, no one could react in time.

The cheers turned into complete silence.

Arrogant!

This was the only word in everyone's hearts. This kid was too arrogant.

They hadn't heard much about Fang Xuan's story. They only knew that he was a trashy new student with an F-rank talent. It seemed that his familiar was still the most inconspicuous ant, but he was very close to the daughter of the general's residence. That was why this battle had happened.

Shen Yuechao felt the burning pain on his face. At first, he was shocked for a moment. Then, his eyes were filled with resentment. He clenched one hand into a fist and a yellow ball of light wrapped around his fist shot towards Fang Xuan's face.

In the next moment, the fist was blocked in mid-air by a golden stream of air. Leng Lingxiao's tall figure appeared between the two of them.

"Private fights are prohibited in the Cloud Academy. Since you're willing to bet, you should admit defeat. Don't you have this bit of magnanimity as a member of the royal family?"

The former glared angrily at Leng Lingxiao, but Fang Xuan left after saying some harsh words.

Leng Lingxiao frowned as more and more figures gathered around the black pressure.

"Those who should disperse, disperse. If you feel that you're too free usually, get the dean to give you a few more training sessions."

As soon as he said this, most of the crowd dispersed. After all, Leng Lingxiao's words were quite authoritative in the Outer Yard. They knew that this guy was famous for having a bad temper and would not go back on his word.

After saying that, Leng Lingxiao looked at Fang Xuan. "You've provoked Shen Yuechao. He won't stop so easily."

"It doesn't matter. I have a rotten life to begin with. Besides, a profligate son with a little family background is not worthy of my attention. Otherwise, this battle wouldn't have happened today."

Leng Lingxiao took a deep look at Fang Xuan and changed the topic. He asked Fang Xuan if he had any clues about the person who broke the record in the Flame Mountain and the Lightning Forest. Fang Xuan's scalp went numb and he quickly laughed it off before leaving the martial arts arena and walking towards the dormitory.

"As expected, I've been noticed. I have to keep a low profile. I can't be so ostentatious when I accept the water-type mission next…"

"Oh? Are you going to the water domain?"

A sudden voice startled Fang Xuan. He turned around and saw a figure wrapped in a black robe appear behind Fang Xuan.

He immediately became vigilant.

He did not know how long this figure had been following him, but he did not notice it at all?

"Hehe, don't be agitated. It's just that I don't like Shen Yuechao either. I was very excited to see him just now."

Seeing that Fang Xuan didn't react, he didn't say anything else. He took out a bottle of blue medicine and placed it on the ground.

"This is a water resistance potion. After consuming it, not only can it increase your resistance to water, but it can also achieve the miraculous effect of breathing underwater. Since you want to go to the water-element domain, I'll give you this potion."

"In the water-element domain, not only are there pure Beast Tamers, but because there are many mages among the water-element Beast Tamers, you will also encounter many mages there."

Fang Xuan did not know what this guy was talking about. This should have been something learned in the school's classroom, but did he not know at all? This was enough to make Fang Xuan wonder if the former was really a student of the Cloud Academy.

The Pharmacist lightly kicked the potion into Fang Xuan's hands. The latter took it. Seeing that the Pharmacist didn't move, he simply thanked her and turned to leave.
