Meng Chao was a little stunned, but he denied it. "How could that be? I just helped the monster controller course with a small favor, and they thanked me."
"What did you help the monster controller course with?" Duan Lian asked in puzzlement.
Meng Chao thought about it.
He said that he sent Wu Wu back to the monster controller course because she had food poisoning. It did not seem believable.
"I helped the monster controller course students dissect their biochemical beasts for injury examination, so they treated me to a meal. It's that simple," he said with a shrug.
"What?!"
Duan Lian flew into a rage. The students around him started talking among themselves. "You helped the monster controller course with injury examination? Isn't that increasing their strength? Don't you know that the monster controller course is the martial arts course's greatest enemy?!"
"They're not enemies. They're opponents. Monster controllers aren't monsters."
Meng Chao placed his hands behind his back and looked at Duan Lian sincerely. "Duan Lian, do you know what an elite is the most afraid of?" he asked faintly.
Duan Lian was stunned for a moment before he said angrily, "What do you mean? Forget about the fact that you didn't come to cheer for the martial arts course yesterday, we just lost to the monster controller course during the day, and then you went to help them with injury examination. You even went to have supper with them at night. Did you go to the monster controller course's celebration party? You have to explain this clearly!"
"As an elite, what I'm most afraid of isn't my opponent becoming stronger, but loneliness."
Meng Chao's gaze pierced through Duan Lian and into the endless distance. His gaze was as lonely as snow, and he sighed. "It's lonely at the top, and it's too lonely when I don't have an opponent. Only when I meet my match and catch up to each other can I bring out the greatest motivation to cultivate.
"This year is a minor year for the monster controller course. Aside from one or two outstanding geniuses, there aren't many opponents who are worthy of being serious. When you face this sort of monster controller course, you won't be able to get your spirits up to cultivate and fight. Even if you manage to suppress this sort of monster controller course, what's the point? It's boring and boring!
"That's why I'm thinking of a way to make the monster controller course stronger so that everyone can train even more madly and put on a grand fight. That way, we won't be wasting our time in university.
"Only the weak hope to win by relying on their opponents being weak. The strong are always delighted when they hear about fights, and they become stronger when they run into the strong. Duan Lian, don't you think so?"
Duan Lian was dumbfounded.
The students were dumbfounded.
The entire field was silent.
His reasoning … seemed to be correct, but when Meng Chao said it, there was something off about it. Meng Chao was a slacker who was often late for classes and left early to sleep. When he was sparring, his limbs were so weak that he looked like he had myasthenia gravis. When he was in the canteen, he would instantly be full of energy and bark like a rabid dog. He never joined any club activities and instead hung out with the strange middle-aged men in the refresher course. How could he have the cheek to say that he would be delighted to fight and become stronger when he ran into someone strong?
They clearly saw that the martial arts course was at a disadvantage in the tournament between courses, so they quickly latched onto the monster controller course's coattails and were prepared to switch over. That had to be the case, right?
Why does it sound like I'm going there to give pointers to the monster controller course?!
Duan Lian covered his chest, and he looked as if he was about to cough up blood. He could not help but say, "You …"
"There's no point in talking about it. Duan Lian, I understand what you mean."
Meng Chao stopped him with an intense gaze. "Didn't you go for wool and come home shorn during the admission test? You've been brooding over it and want to take revenge, right?
"We're all martial artists, and sparring is just a small matter. There's no need for you to find so many excuses.
"In any case, the newbie protection period is over, and the tournament between courses has already ended. Even if you didn't come to me, I would have come to you!"
Both of their gazes sharpened in an instant.
The atmosphere was tense. The air seemed to have frozen at that moment, but in the next second, it started boiling.
It was just as Meng Chao said. The sparring between the martial arts course students was even more frequent than eating three meals a day. When the students saw that their gazes had already turned into daggers, they immediately spread out in a large circle.
"Who do you think will win if Duan Lian fights against Meng Chao?"
"It's definitely Duan Lian. Over the past month or so, he's been training even more madly than Sun Ya and Xie Feng. Lion Frenzy isn't a joke!"
"But he did lose to Meng Chao during the admission test."
"That's because Meng Chao lied to him and stuffed his arm into a hole in the ground. Duan Lian's arm is thicker than our thighs, and he stuffed it into the hole while holding a handful of monster coins in his hand. It's as if he's chained to the ground, so of course he can't win against Meng Chao!" “
"But right now, Duan Lian hasn't fully recovered."
"So what? Duan Lian's strength has increased by more than 150% compared to when he just entered the university. He can win with just one hand!"
Just when the students were talking among themselves …
A cold gust of wind that felt like needles suddenly blew past their backs, and it gave them goosebumps.
When they turned their heads around to look, their gazes trembled a little.
Meng Chao and Duan Lian also noticed the cold killing intent. They were stunned at the same time, and they looked outside the field.
It was a girl with a cold gaze and a look that made it seem like she would not allow anyone to get close to her.
She had a Ghost Leopard surrounded by black smoke and had savage claws and teeth.
She slowly walked into the martial arts course.
"It's Wu Wu!"
"Why is she here? Didn't she have enough fun yesterday? Does she want to bite us again?"
"How dare she barge into the martial arts course alone?!"
The students sucked in sharp breaths. They were shocked and angry.
When Wu Wu brought the Ghost Leopard closer to them, they instinctively took half a step back and opened up a path for the girl.
Duan Lian gulped laboriously.
When he saw that the other three of the Four Great Kings had not arrived yet, he could only brace himself and step forward. "Wu Wu, why are you here? If you didn't have enough fun yesterday, I'll fight you anytime!"
Wu Wu stopped in front of him for a moment and swept her gaze over his face.
Then, she shook her head gently.
"You're not tasty. I don't want to fight against you."
She moved around Duan Lian, and under the martial arts course students' incredulous gazes, she stopped Meng Chao, who was about to enter the crowd.
"Here."
She brought out a crumpled piece of cloth.
"What's this?" Meng Chao could not wrap his head around it.
"Your shirt," Wu Wu said.
"Huh?" It was only then that Meng Chao remembered that he had torn his shirt to shreds yesterday to bandage Wu Wu's wound, even though her muscles were loose and she was bleeding nonstop.
"It's already rotten. There's no need for that, right?" Meng Chao looked at the students around him, whose gazes were gradually turning strange. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I'm done sewing it." Wu Wu shook off the shredded cloth.
Meng Chao looked at his shirt, which had turned from shredded cloth into a mop. He activated Jade Testing Skill and had his spirit energy surge into his eyes through his branch meridians. He examined it carefully for half a minute, but he still could not figure out where the sleeves, collar, and hem were. How should he wear this "shirt"?
"I've never sewn it before. This is my first time."
Wu Wu's face turned red, and she whispered, "You know that I don't like wearing clothes."
Her words caused the people around him to suck in sharp breaths.
Meng Chao was about to cry.
'You can say whatever you want, but why are you blushing?
'Also, everyone knows that you came from the wild and were raised by Ghost Leopards. It's only natural that you don't like wearing clothes. Why did you have to emphasize that you know? I don't know anything!'
Wu Wu did not care about his thoughts. She stuffed the messily stitched cloth into his arms and took a step forward.
She seemed to have gone through puberty. She was very short, and her height only reached Meng Chao's chest.
A bad feeling rose in Meng Chao's heart.
Before he could react, Wu Wu had already grabbed his right hand at lightning speed.
Then, she placed Meng Chao's right hand gently on her head and rubbed it.
Meng Chao looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He could not move.
The students' eyes popped out of their sockets. The question marks on their faces turned into exclamation marks, then ellipses, and from ellipses, they turned into blocked characters.
Meng Chao jumped up as if he had been electrocuted. He dragged Wu Wu out of the crowd and dragged the girl to a corner of the field.
"What are you doing?!" he asked through gritted teeth. "Are you taking revenge for my strategy yesterday?"
"No, this is Ghost Leopard tradition," Wu Wu said seriously.
"If a Ghost Leopard lowers its head, then the other Ghost Leopard will place its paw on its head as a sign of submission. You are my king."
Meng Chao thought about it. That was the habit of Ghost Leopards.
The weak would lower their heads and let the strong touch the vital spot at the back of their heads to show absolute obedience and submission to the strong.
The problem was …
"I'm not a Ghost Leopard. Don't do something that will easily cause misunderstandings, okay? Also, don't always say something as embarrassing as' my king '. I'm not interested in being' your king '!
"Wait, also, I remember that Ghost Leopards have a tradition where the new king eats the old king to inherit power. Did you eat an old leopard king before?"
Wu Wu shook her head. "No."
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
"It's not one, it's two," Wu Wu explained.
"I ate Old Wang and became the leader. Later, a Ghost Leopard wanted to become the leader and challenged me, so I ate it as well." Wu Wu explained.
"…"
Meng Chao said gloomily. "So, there's no benefit to accepting your submission and becoming 'your king'. Instead, there's a possibility that I'll be eaten by you?"
Wu Wu thought about it seriously.
"There are benefits. I'll sew your clothes," she said.
"…" Meng Chao had nothing to say.
"I won't really eat you either," she said. "One of these days, I'll defeat you and make you submit to me. Then … I'll bite you a few times."
Meng Chao felt a headache coming on.
He regretted provoking Wu Wu.
After much effort, he managed to chase the girl and her biochemical beast back to the monster controller course. When he returned to the martial arts course, everyone's gazes and expressions were seriously off.
Meng Chao coughed dryly and got into a fighting stance. "I'm sorry, the uninvited guest ruined the atmosphere just now. Duan Lian, let's continue!"
"Wait."
Duan Lian's face was filled with curiosity. His gaze was profound. "Meng Chao, what's your relationship with Wu Wu from the monster controller course?"
"No way, Duan Lian. Even you're such a busybody?" Meng Chao felt really gloomy.
At that moment, Xie Feng and Sun Ya arrived together.
"What's going on? Just now, I saw Wu Wu from the monster controller course walking out of the field."
Xie Feng was puzzled. "What's she doing here? Is she trying to show off?"
Everyone fell silent, and their gazes landed on Meng Chao.
Xie Feng stared at Meng Chao, and his eyes gradually went wide. He stuttered, "No … No way, Meng Chao. She came to look for you? Could it be that what happened last night … was real?! "
A bad feeling rose in Meng Chao's heart again. "What happened last night? Tell me clearly!"
"Last night, someone saw you and Wu Wu go into the forest one after the other. You only came out after a long time, and you were hugging each other."
