Chapter 48
wasn't originally intended, but I ended up giving them just too much.
Lanzhi Academy, Battle Building, Team One Training Room.
The training match ended abruptly in less than three minutes.
As the virtual pod door slowly opened, the five members of Lan Zhiyuan's team emerged one by one. Each of them had a bloodless face, as if all their strength had been drained away, and their faces were ashen.
Unlike the gloomy atmosphere on the Lanzhiyuan side, the five members of the Fentianyuan remained calm even after winning. Defeating the Lanzhiyuan team was as if they had done something insignificant.
The difference in quality has been determined.
Lu Yuan felt extremely embarrassed, her face turning red and white with anger, as if she had just swallowed a dead fly.
In fact, before entering the training match, Lu Yuan had already thought that she might lose, but she never expected to lose so badly. The five beast tamers who symbolized the highest level of Lanzhi Academy were actually like toys in front of the Burning Heaven Academy team.
To be more precise, it was entirely a solo show by Lin Feiyan, one of the league's top ten players.
What does it mean to be speedrunned in three minutes? Under normal circumstances, it takes more than three minutes for both sides to enter the map and meet in the first wave.
Lu Yuan's eyes lost their sparkle, and she murmured to herself, "So the difference between fully evolved forms can be this great..."
Having witnessed Lin Feiyan's godlike return to her sheath and the fiery spear that pierced the map, Lu Yuan was brought back to reality, and all the hope she had accumulated over the past year was shattered once again.
She understood.
The two were not even on the same level as each other.
Although Lu Yuan had never witnessed the destructive power of an ultimate beast, she couldn't help but compare Lin Feiyan to the ultimate beast tamer in her heart.
Lin Feiyan has clearly surpassed common sense. When facing a beast tamer of the Ten Heavenly King level like her, numbers are meaningless; only monsters of equal strength can defeat monsters.
Even Meng Tianxiang, who had been hiding in the void and observing secretly, couldn't help but nod in approval after seeing Lin Feiyan's performance.
In Meng Tianxiang's opinion, the level of this Crimson Flame Spear should be very close to the upper limit of 70 for a fully evolved pet, and with the amplification of the Return to Sheath technology, it can have such destructive power.
"If this girl can become the ultimate Beastmaster one day, even I at my peak would probably feel the pressure."
Meng Tianxiang felt a little emotional. At the same time, she was even more curious about how Xue Youyou would react to the serious Lin Feiyan, and she was also very much looking forward to the Snow Maiden that she had heard was very, very big.
For many years, she had not felt such strong anticipation for a battle between younger generations.
At this moment, all she wanted to say was to hurry up and stop wasting time by serving the main course!
Not only did she think so, but Lin Feiyan, who had just finished warming up, was also itching to get started.
"Dean Lu, please call Xue Youyou over."
Lin Feiyan tried her best to put it as tactfully as possible: "If it's her, I believe we can put on a battle that everyone can enjoy."
The reason she went all out in the training match just now was to tell Lu Yuan that her team was a bunch of lousy bastards and that she should stop wasting time and hurry up and call Xue Youyou out.
Seeing how seriously Lin Feiyan took it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder, "Is Xue Youyou really that powerful?"
Having failed in her delaying tactics, and with things having come to this point, Lu Yuan could only turn to Meng Yanqing for help: "Xiao Qing, please do your Aunt Lu a favor!"
"Could you please contact Xue Youyou again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yanqing wanted to refuse, not wanting to disturb Xue Youyou's secluded cultivation. However, when she saw everyone's eyes on her, especially Lin Feiyan, whom she had known since childhood, staring at her expectantly, she realized that she was being put on the spot.
It has gotten to the point where it's unacceptable not to make a phone call.
Left with no other choice, Meng Yanqing had to make a phone call to Xue Youyou in front of everyone, even though she didn't have much hope of getting in touch with her, she still had to put on a show.
Surprisingly, this time it actually went through.
"Youyou, you've emerged from seclusion!"
"Gibberish..."
"Mmm, uh-huh..."
After a brief and quick exchange, Meng Yanqing looked up at everyone and awkwardly repeated Xue Youyou's original words: "She said she has urgent matters to attend to right now, and if we force her to change her route, we need to pay her 888 million as an appearance fee and compensation for lost labor."
Such an outrageous demand left everyone looking at each other in disbelief.
Although we haven't met Xue Youyou in person yet, her image as a money-grubber has already taken root in people's hearts.
"888 million? Why don't you just rob us? I only spent 2000 million to hire all those people from the Burning Heaven Academy." Lu Yuan cursed inwardly, then subconsciously looked at Lin Feiyan.
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, but Lin Feiyan also happened to look at Lu Yuan at that moment, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Lin Feiyan coughed lightly and forced a polite smile: "We agreed beforehand that we must play a training match against Xiaoqing's second team."
Lu Yuan could also see that the other party clearly did not want to pay this unnecessary money.
There was nothing Lu Yuan, as the host, could do but swallow this loss and pay for it herself.
However, she wasn't some naive fool, and it was impossible for Xue Youyou to get something for nothing from her.
Lu Yuan replied in a muffled voice, "Tell her that if she wins, the money is no problem; if she loses, she gets nothing."

Ten minutes later.
A girl with snow-white hair peeked around at the entrance of the training room. After confirming that this was the place, she calmly walked into the training room.
The training room for the team was much more luxurious than Xue Youyou had imagined.
There were many people here, including quite a few new faces; Xue Youyou was meeting many of them for the first time.
However, Xue Youyou still recognized the familiar, stunningly beautiful girl from the Burning Heaven Academy at a glance.
Just as Meng Yanqing said on the phone, the opponent of Lanzhi Academy in this training match was indeed the first team of Fentian Academy.
As Xue Youyou peered at her surroundings, everyone else was also peering at her.
In fact, the moment she walked in, everyone's eyes were on her.
Especially Lu Yuan and the five members of Lan Zhiyuan, who were seeing Xue Youyou for the first time, all carefully examined the snow-haired girl in front of them, wanting to know what was so special about her that Lin Feiyan couldn't forget her.
To everyone's surprise, the first thing Xue Youyou said after entering was, "Qingbao, where is that generous lady who was willing to pay 888 million?"
Xue Youyou's casual offer of 888 million over the phone was just a joke; her intention was to politely decline. After all, to defeat Lin Feiyan head-on, she would have to use at least one of her trump cards, but she didn't want to reveal it to too many people.
To everyone's surprise, someone actually agreed to her outrageous conditions. It just goes to show that no matter what world you're in, face is still incredibly valuable.
"Eh...ya..." In front of everyone, Xue Youyou called Qingbao, and even Meng Yanqing, who had a thick skin, blushed a little.
At the same time, Meng Tianxiang, who was hiding in the void, also turned red, but it was a warm red.
Meng Yanqing calmed her sweet mood slightly, then pointed at Lu Yuan and said, "Didn't I say on the phone that the dean would cover your appearance fee and compensation for losses?"
Following Meng Yanqing's words, Xue Youyou approached Lu Yuan, politely extending her fair hand, and said, "Thank you for your generosity, it's our first time meeting."
Xue Youyou wasn't really forgetting who was the sucker the moment she heard Meng Yanqing's words.
She deliberately repeated it in an exaggerated tone in front of everyone, just to prevent Lu Yuan from going back on her word later.
Seeing Xue Youyou extend her hand with a bright smile, Lu Yuan's eyes twitched slightly involuntarily. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she still forced a smile and gently shook hands with Xue Youyou.
Lu Yuan calmly replied, "On the premise that you can win."
She wanted to see just how capable this beast tamer, who was touted by the Blue Angel Morning Post as the most talented beast tamer in Blue Angel Academy in the past ten years, really was.
If Xue Youyou can really beat Lin Feiyan, Lu Yuan would be happy to give her not only 888 million, but even 1888 million.
However, at that moment, Xue Youyou suddenly blurted out, "Can I make them surrender and then split the money equally?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yuan's forehead veins bulged, her eyes widened, and she glared at Xue Youyou, her voice unconsciously rising eight octaves.
Xue Youyou said, "Haha, don't get excited, I was just joking."
Not to mention Lu Yuan couldn't hold back anymore, even the five people from Burning Heaven Academy on the side were having trouble keeping their expressions up.
Lin Feiyan carefully examined the petite girl with long, snow-white hair in front of her. Her exquisite face was even more striking than in the photos. Her icy eyes, which seemed otherworldly, sparkled with a mischievous and clever spirit, and she liked to utter some inexplicable words about greed.
Without a doubt, the other party was a typical mixed-blood beast tamer who had fallen on hard times but unexpectedly awakened his bloodline power.
Lin Feiyan silently made a judgment in her heart.
Then, Lin Feiyan stepped out from among the group of people from the Burning Heaven Academy and came to Xue Youyou, getting straight to the point: "Nice to meet you. I am Lin Feiyan. I am here today to ask you to finish the battle we fought last time."
