At the east gate of the Practical Combat Hall, Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong had just entered, attracting quite a bit of attention.


    Of course, it wasn’t Su Yuan who drew the attention but rather the cold, silver-haired Luo Bingtong who was quite conspicuous.


    "How did they end up together?" Xiang Dingqian saw Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong entering and couldn’t help but frown slightly.


    "Who are they?" A handsome young man with green hair and green eyes asked.


    Xiang Dingqian replied casually, "The other two special recruits in my batch."


    "Additional special recruits, huh..."


    Seeing the interest in the green-haired youth’s eyes, Xiang Dingqian frowned and said, "Ye Qing, he’s my opponent. Don’t get involved."


    Ye Qing, a genius Beast Tamer from the Capitol Beast Taming Family of Ye Family and the top recruit of this year’s official special recruitment at Demon Capital Academy.


    "So, you have a grudge against him?" Ye Qing waved his hand and smiled. "Don’t worry. I’m not interested in him..."


    Xiang Dingqian nodded and said no more.


    Ye Qing looked in the direction of Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong. His expression suddenly changed as if he sensed something. He immediately closed his eyes, made a seal with his right hand, and lightly tapped the center of his brow with his forefinger.


    A moment later, Ye Qing opened his eyes again, deep green fluorescence flowing in his eyes. Everywhere he looked, everyone had a unique golden symbol marked on them.


    Blue auxiliary pupil skill—Peeping Technique.


    It could see through and identify the essence of targets and at higher levels could break through most transformations, illusions, and disguises.


    At this moment, in Ye Qing’s vision, all the golden symbols on Su Yuan and the others were the same, representing "human."


    Only Luo Bingtong’s was different. Her symbol was much more complex than the others, representing...


    "Dragon"!


    She was a master-level Dragon, and her bloodline was extremely pure...


    Ye Qing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, the deep green fluorescence was gone, but the look in his eyes toward Luo Bingtong now had a barely suppressed fervent heat.


    ...


    Su Yuan observed the two people dueling in the field, one of whom was Xia Yue from Demon City.


    She wielded a delicate and expensive Red Gemstone Wand, effortlessly launching various-sized fireballs continuously in front of her, reminiscent of a human cannon. Her fighting style was as fiery as her temper.


    If not for the high physical and magical resistance of the Practical Combat Hall’s floor, plus the barrier, the high school’s Practical Combat Hall would have been dismantled in no time.


    Shang Baiyu smiled and shook his head, about to say more when suddenly a loud noise came from the front.


    Su Yuan and Shang Baiyu immediately turned to see a Fiery Flame Red Lotus erupting in the field. The tumultuous flames rolled fiercely, causing ripples in the barrier over the stage!


    Shang Baiyu exclaimed, "What a powerful move! Definitely a skilled or higher blue fire element skill!"


    Su Yuan nodded gravely.


    Yes, indeed powerful... It seemed to have the combined power of seven or eight Hellfires.


    Several seconds later, the afterglow of the Fiery Flame Red Lotus faded, revealing the figures of two people.


    Lu Yi’s face was somewhat pale, and in front of her stood Qin Jia, the vice president of the student council, overseeing the challenge.


    Though knowing Xia Yue hadn’t used her full strength, Lu Yi still decided to go all out for a final strike.


    First, she cast a Water Flow Wall for defense, then used Sea-colored Vines to control Xia Yue, and finally, with Great Success, Deep Sea Call condensed four immensely powerful Sea Dragons.


    However, Xia Yue easily broke the Sea-colored Vines’ binding with a Resistance Fire Ring. Seeing Lu Yi’s persistence, she unleashed her coming-of-age gift, a T1 level blue attack star card, Fiery Flame Red Lotus!


    The overwhelmingly powerful Fiery Flame Red Lotus obliterated the four water dragons and pressed toward Lu Yi.


    Qin Jia saw this and decisively stepped in to rescue, resulting in the current situation.


    "Xia Yue wins!"


    Qin Jia glanced at Xia Yue, who was leaning on her wand with one hand on her hip, and announced calmly.


    Lu Yi came up behind, still a bit shaken, and stammered, "Th-thank you, senior!"


    Qin Jia nodded slightly, seeing multiple burns on Lu Yi and told a nearby student council youth, "Ah Tian, get someone to give her treatment."


    Though not directly hit by Fiery Flame Red Lotus, Lu Yi had still been struck several times by Xia Yue’s fireballs and was seriously injured.


    "Got it, President." The young man named Ah Tian responded, quickly spotting Shang Baiyu in the crowd, and called out, "Baiyu junior, come over here!"


    "Coming!" Shang Baiyu responded loudly, then hurriedly said to Su Yuan, "I’m going over. Su Yuan, give it your all later. If you get hurt, I’m here."


    "I’ve got your back!"


    Shang Baiyu shouted and quickly went over.


    Su Yuan watched Shang Baiyu’s back, shaking his head.


    That guy, is he cursing me...
