Chapter 190: The Ring

"Ye Xuan, Ye Tiange will come today. Do you think that classmate of yours, Qi Liangcai, will be a rival for him?"

Su Yunmeng asked worriedly when Ye Xuan was having breakfast in the morning.

"Take it easy, Mom. He will be fine."

Ye Xuan said as he picked up a pickle with chopsticks.

He had been increasingly enjoying the food Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao made since they started learning to cook.

"But I heard he had been injured a few days ago, and he had not recovered yet." Su Yunmeng sighed. "He is just a university student. He hasn't even graduated. How come he has been making so many troubles?"

Ye Xuan looked at Su Yunmeng. "Mom, Qi Liangcai is already a Beast Tamer on the Silver level. Beast Tamers on this level can be compared to the leader of the Guard Patrol Station in Yunhai City."

"When he achieves the Gold level in two years, he will be almost invincible in Yunhai City."

"Even so, he is just the same age as you, only a few months older than you. He is even less than twenty."

Su Yunmeng murmured.

But she was kind of shocked.

It had never occurred to her before that she could make such a comparison.

A Beast Tamer on the Silver level could be compared to the Guard Patrol Station leader in Yunhai City?

And in two years, when Qi Liangcai had achieved the Gold level, even the Yunhai City commander would not necessarily be as strong as he was?

Ye Xuan broke into a smile.

This world, the Xia, was too big.

Generally speaking, a Beast Tamer on the Gold level could govern a small city.

One on the Platinum level could govern a medium city.

That meant one thing.

Those fabulous geniuses who could achieve the Platinum level before graduating from university would be put in an important position if they went to work in some locality.

And there was something even better.

They could even govern a big city when they had achieved the Diamond level.

They would be appointed as commanders of some province when they had achieved the Master level. That position would make them a genuine big shot.

"Ye Xuan."

Su Yunmeng asked after a pause, "I also heard that Ye Tiange had trash-talked on the Internet. He suggested you and Qi Liangcai fight against him together. You won't really do that, will you?"

"Why would I?"

Ye Xuan looked at Su Yunmeng. "Mom, what are you thinking? It is only Ye Tiange. Would it be necessary for Qi Liangcai and me to act together?"

Then he added, "Besides, even if I want to do it, Qi Liangcai wouldn't let me."

"Well, that's good. That's good."

Su Yunmeng nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Xuan killed a Beast Tamer from the Eternal Night Clan last time he fought.

She was terrified that the Eternal Night Clan would get back on Ye Xuan if he joined the fight.

Ye Xuan's reply made her rest assured.

And Ye Xuan, seeing Su Yunmeng not posing any more questions to him, threw her a secret glance. He thought she would probably beat him again after this day's fight had been over.

However, what else could he do?

This day's fight would only last for a while.

He would rather tell Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao when everything had been over so that they would not be worrying about his safety.

"Mom, the pickles you made are awesome. You are better and better at this now."

He ate some porridge while thinking and picked up another pickle.

He said while chewing.

He was in a completely different mood compared to last time, when he was planning on getting onto the Rising Star List.

Maybe it was because he had experienced more.

Or maybe it was because he had been stronger. He was very confident about this day's fight, not worried at all.

Instead, there were a few dashes of killing intent hiding under his calmness.

It was only Ye Tiange. Not a big deal.

"Yeah? I will make more for you."

Su Yunmeng broke into a smile as soon as she heard Ye Xuan's compliment.

In her eyes, Ye Xuan seemed to have grown up a lot.

...

"Qi Liangcai, can you fight or can you not today?"

At the same time, Qi Liangcai, Wei Shan, and Lv Jing got together in Jiangzhou University's canteen.

Wei Shan and Lv Jing looked at Qi Liangcai, worrying about him.

They would not have been worrying about Qi Liangcai if he and his beast had not been badly injured a few days ago.

And Qi Liangcai's Three-legged Hellfire Crow had not fully recovered by then.

There were many healing beasts in this world. They could cure injured beasts quickly.

However, there were injuries that even those healing beasts would not be able to cure quickly.

Like Qi Liangcai's Three-legged Hellfire Crow. One of its wings was broken a few days ago.

In fact, it would have been fine if the wound of the broken wing were smooth enough.

It would only take a healing beast a few hours to cure it.

But the thing was Qi Liangcai's Three-legged Hellfire Crow got a bone fracture when it was injured.

And most of its bones were worn out.

That was very tricky.

Worn-out bones would need treatments that could generate new bones to fix.

Such treatments were no big deal for high-level beasts with a good grade.

However, it still would take them more than two days.

Actually, it would take them four or five days.

In contrast, Qi Liangcai's injuries had fully recovered by then.

However, a Beast Tamer would count on his beasts to exert his strength.

No matter how good a Beast Tamer was, it would be useless if his beasts could not fight.

"Can I or can I not? If you ask me this question, the answer is always I can. It will never be I cannot!"

Qi Liangcai said grumpily.

However, when he spoke, it was not difficult to detect from his eyes that he was feeling stressed.

Ye Tiange achieved the Silver level earlier than he did.

And the former carried out a careful selection to decide which beast to contrast with.

All of them were on the highest level he was allowed to contract with when he was on each level.

In such circumstances, having an injured beast would affect Qi Liangcai's performance a lot.

However, no matter how much his performance was affected, he still could not cancel this fight!

Because among the freshmen of Jiangzhou University, he was the only one who was strong enough to bear this responsibility.

Ye Tiange and others from Wanshan University had arrived at the gate of their university. How could he chicken out at this moment?

He had to fight.

Even if he could not.

"Let's go. It is about time. We should go to the gate now."

Then he put the bun in his hand, only half of which was left, into his mouth.

He swallowed it without chewing.

Then he got to his feet from his seat immediately.

Ring...

However, when he had just stood up in a heroic spirit.

His phone suddenly rang.

He took out the phone and tapped Accept to answer the call. Then he heard Ye Xuan's voice. "Bro, where are you now?"

"I am in the canteen. What's up, bro?"

Qi Liangcai frowned.

Ye Xuan sounded a little anxious on the phone.

"Come to my home as soon as possible. I mean now. It is urgent." Then Ye Xuan asked on the phone, "By the way, are Wei Shan and Lv Jing with you, too?"

"If they are also in the canteen with you, tell them to wait for us at the gate of the university."

"You come to my home first. Then we will go to the gate together to join them."

Ye Xuan hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. He did not wait for Qi Liangcai's reply.

"Shoot!"

Qi Liangcai cursed in the canteen because Ye Xuan had hung up the phone without telling him any useful information.

"What the hell is with Ye Xuan? I told him to come to have lunch with us to go to the school gate together, but he wouldn't come. However, he wants me to go over now."

However, despite the curse, he still said to Wei Shan and Lv Jing after putting his phone into his pocket, "Well, now that he wants to go over, I will go over. You can wait for us at the school gate."

He took a bun from Wei Shan's plate and put it into his mouth. Then he turned around to leave in a hurry.

"Monkey King, how will you handle this trip?"

He was singing Pekin opera like an older man while walking away.

That attracted the attention of everyone in the canteen.

However, he would not stop. "To break the Nantian Gate and destroy the Cloud Palace!"

"What if you can't come back?"

"I won't come back then!"

"Darn it!" Looking at his empty plate, from where Qi Liangcai had taken his only bun away, and hearing Qi Liangcai singing, Wei Shan said with a speechless face, "Dude, you are blowing your trumpet before anything. Even starts."

"Big deal. What matters most is a fearless attitude."

Qi Liangcai waved at Wei Shan without looking back.

Wei Shan was rendered helpless.

He had to get to his feet to collect the plates and chopsticks with Lv Jing. Then they headed for the school gate together.

"Ye Xuan, what the hell do you want me here for?"

Qi Liangcai shouted carelessly after arriving at Ye Xuan's mansion not long after leaving the canteen.

"Eh..."

However, he felt some cold thing show up behind him all of a sudden as soon as he finished speaking.

What was even weirder was a cold wind suddenly started. He felt his blood froze. Then some colder energy suddenly pressed against his neck.

Plop!

He flopped to the ground immediately.

Ye Xuan opened the door and walked out. He looked at Qi Liangcai, who was lying on the ground at the moment.

Then he looked at Lin Shiru, who was standing not far away elegantly but seemed a little embarrassed. He could not help but ask her, "Ms. Lin, was that your beast?"

He did not see the process clearly from the inside of the mansion.

He only felt his vision went blurry, and then Qi Liangcai fell to the ground.

However, he did sense that energy that uniquely belonged to ghosts.

"No. It's a beast of Ms. Ren. I borrowed it from her. Otherwise, I would not have been able to stun someone without making any noise. I don't have a beast like that."

Lin Shiru explained. Then she looked at Qi Liangcai, who was lying on the ground, "I will leave him to you now. He won't wake up in two hours."

"Okay."

Ye Xuan nodded.

Two hours would be enough.

After informing Ye Xuan of that, Lin Shiru leaped into the air and flew away.

She had never stunned any student from her faculty before. It was the first time she did this.

She could not help but feel awkward.

Ye Xuan waved his hand when Lin Shiru had left. A Golden Net flew over and fell on Qi Liangcai.

Then he found a tree beside the hill next to his mansion and hung Qi Liangcai onto it.

In this way, Qi Liangcai would not suffer too much.

It was like sleeping in a hammock.

It would be comfortable.

And he figured Qi Liangcai would not be pissed off too much after waking up.

"It is about time!"

Ye Xuan called out the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings after finishing settling Qi Liangcai on the tree. He told them to turn into a pair of golden wings attached to his back. Then, he flew to the school gate of Jiangzhou University directly.

Outside the Jiangzhou University gate, an ancient and giant ring was situated about three hundred feet away from it.

It was strange that it did not look like a dead thing.

Instead, it seemed to be alive.

Like Ren Ya's Iron Walled Chariot.

It seemed to be an Ancient-type beast as well.

And there were countless people around the giant ring.

Among them, there were not only students from Jiangzhou University.

Students from Wanshan University were there, too.

Many students from other universities in Jiangzhou were also interested in the fight, so they came here to watch it.

There were even many people who had graduated from university.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure with a shroud wrapped around his body flew out of the crowd and then onto the ring.

"Qi Liangcai, come out!"
