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

Chapter 62 Shocking Change! Substitution Rules, Heavenly King Lei Ying Enters the Stage

Leiming Academy, Second Team Training Room.

At this moment, the five members of the second team of Leiming Academy, who had just finished watching the complete recording of "Lanzhiyuan VS Qingyeyuan", were all pale-faced.

The entire training room fell into a deathly silence.

After a long silence, the captain, with his brown bun hair, broke the ice, snapping, "How are we supposed to fight this kind of monster?!"

A teammate with pink cloud-shaped curls next to her wholeheartedly agreed: "Indeed, you can't see a single human feature in her."

"He didn't use any skills from beginning to end; he just stomped on the red dog and killed it."

"Why don't we just surrender?"

The pink-haired girl's suggestion piqued the interest of the group.

If you're certain you can't win, it's better to just give up the battle. After all, too many defeats will affect a pet's development potential, and many powerful evolution paths have strict requirements on the number of losses.

Although doing so would be condemned and could even lead to expulsion from the academy, the first principle that a beast tamer should adhere to is that one should never let one's pet die needlessly.

Just as the captain with the brown bun was about to give the order, "All members of the Thunder Academy Second Team, commit suicide," the training room door was pushed open, and an unexpected person walked in.

Upon seeing the short purple-haired girl who had suddenly appeared, the captain with the brown bun exclaimed, "Nightingale...Captain!"

That's right, Nightingale, the fifth seat of Raimuin, was originally the captain of Team Two. After she was transferred to Team One, the girl with the brown bun hairstyle successfully rose to become the new captain.

The nightingale's sudden arrival made the group, who were secretly discussing surrender, somewhat embarrassed.

Nightingale nodded, which was her way of greeting her former teammates. Without reminiscing, she simply stated her purpose: "Princess Lei Ying has something to say to you. Please come with me."

Soon, the group arrived in front of Lei Ying, led by Nightingale.

The five men bowed in unison and said, "Your Highness, good health."

Leiming Academy is known for its strict hierarchy. If you offend Princess Lei Ying, you're lucky to be expelled.

Being summoned by Lei Ying at this somewhat sensitive juncture left the five of them feeling uneasy, as if a storm was brewing.

However, Lei Ying's attitude was much better than the five of them had expected.

Seeing the five people who were barely daring to breathe, Lei Ying smiled sweetly and asked, "Have you watched the match between Lan Zhiyuan and Qingyeyuan?"

The captain with the brown bun immediately replied, "Yes, we just finished watching the video."

The group secretly wondered: What does His Highness mean by this? Does he want them to fight to the death and show their prowess?

Just as everyone was trying to figure out Lei Ying's thoughts, Lei Ying made a surprising statement: "Xue Youyou is a genuine Ten Heavenly King level Beast Tamer, just like me. She is not a match that you are qualified to fight."

"Make way for me; I'll take the field myself next time!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Nightingale, was shocked.

There is indeed such a rule in the league: during the preliminary rounds, a team can exchange one player with a team from the second team, and the exchange is valid until the start of the main competition.

In other words, a member of the first team is allowed to provide technical support to the second team, but only during the preliminary rounds.

The original intention of this rule was to give those beast tamers who were quite skilled but were eliminated on the first day of the preliminary rounds due to poor positioning a chance to continue to shine.

As for concerns that the teams of the top ten players who were guaranteed a spot in the main competition might temporarily support the second team and undermine the fairness of the preliminary rounds, there is no need to worry. As star players at the level of the top ten players in the league, they are all respectable figures and would not do such an unseemly thing.

Moreover, there is no benefit in helping their own second team pass the preliminary rounds. Teams without sufficient strength will eventually be eliminated in the first round of the main competition and become stepping stones for others.

That's why Nightingale and the others were shocked by Lei Ying's decision.

The captain with the brown bun was secretly overjoyed, but outwardly he feigned concern and asked, "Your Highness, won't this negatively impact your reputation?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lei Ying stood up from the sofa.

A purple figure flashed by, moving so fast that everyone could only see a blur.

Almost simultaneously, a dull thud rang out, and the brown-haired captain's body flew backward like a cannonball.

When the others realized what was happening, they saw Lei Ying retracting her side kick.

On the other side, the captain with the brown bun hairstyle was already spitting out tomato sauce and lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Lei Ying dusted her hands off and said coldly, "Lei Ming Academy doesn't need such trash. You lot, throw her out and don't let me see her again."

Six p.m.

Lanzhi Academy Team 1 vs. Leiming Academy Team 2.

After having dinner with her teammates, Xue Youyou went back to her dormitory alone, took a nice shower, and walked into the training room at 10:50.

Upon entering, I saw Lu Yuan in addition to my five teammates.

Moreover, everyone's expressions were somewhat unsettled.

Xue Youyou keenly sensed that something unusual had probably happened while she was taking a bath.

Before Xue Youyou could even ask, Lu Yuan, without even a greeting, cried out in a panic, "Something terrible has happened, Xue Youyou!"

Xue Youyou blinked and asked calmly, "What is it?"

Infected by Xue Youyou's calm demeanor, Lu Yuan slightly calmed her anxiety and anger, and revealed the source of everyone's panic: "An hour ago, Lei Ying's name appeared on the list of players announced by Lei Ming Academy's second team!"

Seeing Lu Yuan's impassioned tone, Xue Youyou, who was on a completely different wavelength, awkwardly asked, "Uh... who is Lei Ying?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan opened her beautiful eyes wide, her face showing an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

As for Meng Yanqing and the others, they had long been used to Xue Youyou's lack of common sense.

Meng Yanqing spoke up to explain, "Lei Ying is the captain of Team One of Lei Ming Academy. She is one of the Ten Heavenly Kings along with Lin Feiyan, and her title is Princess Lightning."

"Not only that, she is ranked above Lin Feiyan among the Ten Heavenly Kings. Last year, she led Leiming Academy to the finals right after her debut, but unfortunately she lost to Yougui Academy led by the Underworld Flower Witch."

Xue Youyou tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "If she's so good, why is she in the second team?"

To answer Xue Youyou's question, Meng Yanqing rattled off a bunch of explanations about the rules.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan summarized and said seriously, "Youyou, we suspect that Princess Lightning came here specifically to ambush you. It's probably because your performance this afternoon was so amazing that it attracted her attention."

"Snipe me..." Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou was not afraid at all. Instead, her eyes revealed an excited smile, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

"In short, your duel with Lei Ying tonight has topped the trending searches on major media platforms and become the biggest topic in Yue Lanzhou. Even the official organizers have specially sent people to do a special live broadcast of this match. You should know that this is a privilege that is only given to the main competition."

Lu Yuan grabbed Xue Youyou's shoulders, looking at her intently.

Just when Xue Youyou thought Lu Yuan was going to give her a final boost, Lu Yuan said, "Since things have come to this, I won't hide anything from you. Considering the risk hedging, I've already placed a bet of 100 million on Lei Ying to win."

"I'm telling you this now so you won't feel pressured. Just fight freely and show the style of the beast tamers of Lanzhi Academy."

Xue Youyou: "???"
