I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 104 Three Phoenixes Gather, A Sign of an Emperor

Bao Xiaoxing forcibly suppressed her anger, forced a sweet smile, and steered the conversation back on track: "Well then, let's get down to business! The next Group C match is about to begin!"

"The two teams facing off should be familiar to everyone. One is the local team from Beast City, Beast Academy Team 1, and the other is the former powerhouse, Moon Academy. Longtime viewers should remember that Moon Academy was once a top team that won the league championship. Although they have been in a slump for many years, this year, under the leadership of captain Yun Wangshu, they have finally made a strong comeback!"

Actually, Bao Xiaoxing only found out about this information last night through a background check, but she spoke about it in a very logical and eloquent manner, as if she were a seasoned veteran viewer.

As she narrated, the director switched the screen display to—

Manjuuin I vs. Getsuyouin I.

"Moreover, as everyone knows, there was a little incident during the draw ceremony between these two teams."

Bao Xiaoxing's tone suddenly became lighter, with a hint of teasing: "Because Muyue, the substitute player sent by the Yueyao team to draw lots, was two seconds late, Jiang, the captain of the Wanshou team, immediately chose Yueyaoyuan as his opponent for the first round!"

Speaking of this, Bao Xiaoxing's eyes darted around, and he turned his gaze to Xue Youyou beside him, saying with a grin, "Actually, the one who mainly clashed with Jiang Ye was another contestant who arrived late for the draw—yes, it's this Lady Shirayuki next to me~"

"What are your thoughts, Lady Shirayuki, on Jiang Ye choosing Yueyao-in as her opponent instead of Lanzhi-in?"

Seeing that Bao Xiaoxing had steered the conversation toward her, Xue Youyou raised an eyebrow, picked up the microphone, her voice clear as ice water striking stone, but her tone was terrifyingly calm: "If the rules of the tournament allow, I don't mind taking Yueyaoyuan's place right now and smashing her dog head in."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone could tell that there was no joking in Xue Youyou's tone. It was a calm confidence that contained absolute certainty, as well as a strong hunting impulse that was sharpening its knife and eager to try.

If I had to describe it, it would be like a lioness surveying her territory.

Bao Xiaoxing originally just wanted her to say a few harsh words to lighten the atmosphere, but she didn't expect Xue Youyou to be so explosive as soon as she opened her mouth, which made her heart skip a beat.

Keep in mind that this is the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the vast majority of the 300,000 spectators here are local beast tamers from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. This is completely the home ground of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts Academy.

Unlike yesterday's online draw ceremony, today's competition is a real offline event.

Even if you don't give respect to monks, you should at least give respect to Buddha!

Even if you think you're cute, you can't say that!

Just as Bao Xiaoxing had predicted, Xue Youyou's words were incredibly powerful, completely igniting the audience.

"What an arrogant white-haired guy!"

"Damn it, I really want to argue with her, but... I can't seem to find a reason?"

"It's gone from black to black!"

"From this day forward, all fans of Yukihime are expelled from the City of Beasts!"

"Lord Jiang, you must win!"

"Give her a lesson!"

"..."

The audience at Beast City were at their wits' end. Given Jiang Ye's cowardly performance yesterday, they couldn't bring themselves to say anything threatening. They could only offer some token words to express their resentment.

Meng Tianxiang, watching from the stands, sighed and rubbed her forehead. She knew Xue Youyou was going to pull something big; this girl never knew what restraint was.

Bao Yunxing was also speechless, her lips twitching slightly. This technical consultant her daughter had hired was a ticking time bomb. He'd already exploded like that; she didn't even want to think about what would happen next.

Bao Xiaoxing quickly chuckled, trying to salvage the situation: "It seems Lady Shirayuki is really looking forward to facing off against Jiang Ye! Unfortunately, since they're in different halves of the bracket, I can only wish them a happy final match!"

She quickly changed the subject, her voice clear and bright: "Now, please welcome the two teams facing off in the second match—Team One of the Beast Academy and Team One of the Moon Academy!"

As soon as Bao Xiaoxing finished speaking, a line of people walked out from each of the contestant passages on both sides.

Emerging from the left passage were five members of the Beast Institute, led by Jiang Ye, the Fourth Heavenly King, also known as the "Heavenly Fiend Tiger." They exuded the confidence and imposing presence characteristic of the hosts.

However, none of the five looked well at the moment. As Jiang passed by Xue Youyou, he glared at her fiercely, his eyes filled with anger, clearly having heard every word she had just said.

This is absolutely outrageous!

He stood on the stage with a microphone, publicly criticizing her, but she didn't even have a chance to talk back.

Xue Youyou stared straight ahead without glancing to the side, her face expressionless, seemingly completely unaware of Jiang Ye's gaze that seemed to pierce through her.

Emerging from the right-hand passage were the five members of the Moonlight Team. Surprisingly, the one leading the group was substitute player Mutsuki, while the original captain, Yun Wangshu, walked quietly behind Mutsuki, showing no intention of stepping forward.

The moment Mutsuki passed by Yuki Yuuyu and walked towards the virtual pod, Yuki Yuuyu's expression momentarily froze, and her heart skipped a beat.

It's that feeling that makes your heart flutter again.

Xue Youyou slowly turned around, her gaze fixed on Muyue's back, her eyes filled with deep thought and inquiry.

She had this feeling when they first met, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking it was just that she was in heat.

Unexpectedly, when the two met for the second time, that strange palpitation surged up in their hearts again, even clearer and stronger than the last time.

This time, Xue Youyou didn't think it was her imagination.

Her body has always been sensitive, and she can sense even the slightest fluctuation.

Combined with this unusual order of appearance, the captain actually willingly walked behind the substitutes.

All signs point to one fact—

This guy is really skilled!

Xue Youyou couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Xue Youyou's strange turn was noticed by everyone present.

Bao Xiaoxing immediately asked, "Hmm, are there any players on the Yueyaoyuan team that Lady Shirayuki is interested in?"

This time, Xue Youyou changed her previous arrogant and unruly attitude and nodded calmly: "Mm."

Bao Xiaoxing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then tried to guess, "Let me guess, is it Yun Wangshu, the captain of the Moonlit Academy team? Her Radiant Moon Phoenix really performed exceptionally well in the preliminary rounds!"

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xue Youyou shook her head, her tone firm and calm: "No. It's that substitute player walking at the front of their team, Muyue."

Immediately afterward, before anyone could process the information from that statement, Xue Youyou dropped another bombshell: "The Ten Thousand Beasts Academy is likely to lose."

"ah?!"

Bao Xiaoxing was dumbfounded, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue.

Even if you're not sisters, there should be a limit to how much you hate someone, right? Saying that the Beastmaster Academy will lose to the Moonlight Academy is just too much of a smear campaign. On paper, the Beastmaster Academy is clearly far superior!

Not only were the audience members of Beast City outraged and hurled insults upon hearing this, but even the four marquises in the stands looked surprised.

Lin Yan chuckled, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "Are you two joking? Giving this clown a title ahead of time?"

"Defeating Lei Ying only means that you have the ability to handle the situation."

She paused, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Shouldn't we at least assess their character and personality? Otherwise, how can they be worthy of being the only Beastmaster in Yuelan to be granted the title ahead of schedule?"

Manzhu also looked surprised, frowning without saying a word, but the doubt in her eyes said it all.

Meng Tianxiang opened her mouth, though she wanted to say that Lin Yan herself seemed to have no right to comment on other people's character or personality, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to refute her, because she also felt that Xue Youyou was just talking nonsense.

Only Lord Xinglan, Bao Yunxing, looked at Muyue on the stage with a slightly furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression.

Mutsuki, who had just sat in the virtual reality pod, smiled sweetly after hearing Yuki's praise.

Worried that Xue Youyou might say something outrageous, Bao Xiaoxing quickly and tactfully reminded her, "Uh, Lady Bai Xueji, haven't you already said three sentences?"

Xue Youyou glanced at Bao Xiaoxing: "It's alright, I know someone in this competition—I can say a few more words."
