Chapter 3 Chapter 3 An Unexpected Decision

Fengrou and I sat down under a willow tree, Fengrou gave the little golden monkey a chestnut, held it in his arms, and looked at me with shy eyes under the long eyelashes. The little golden monkey pet obviously has a special liking for fishing with its own tail, and never tires of it. It can be seen from its expression that it twists its tail and looks at the fish in the river reluctantly.I couldn't help but think of the three little guys working together to catch fish on the frozen lake that day. Fengrou seemed to have thought of what happened that day, and a faint and warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Let's get started," she said. "What?" I asked back without responding. She smiled and said, "The official interview will start now, you have to answer the questions honestly." The warm wind at noon blew past us quietly. In the harmonious atmosphere, I sat down with Fengrou and started the interview. Feng Rou was clearly prepared, and took out a small notebook full of questions and began to ask me one by one: "Are you satisfied with your performance in the Shenying City Beast Electronic Contest? Or give me an evaluation." I scratched my head and said: "At that time, I just wanted to make some money for Qiu Lei, so I didn't think about performance in the Pet Beast Electronic Competition, but I made a few good friends in the competition. Feel very satisfied."

Fengrou sighed and said, "How can you answer the question like this? Forget it, let me help you revise it. The second question, can you disclose the names of a few good friends you have made?" I said "Huh" and said, "Don't you know everyone?" Fengrou gave me an annoyed look, and quickly wrote down the names of Leo, Little Peacock and Young City Master in the small notebook.She added: "The third question, how do you feel about the upcoming animal competition between schools that will be held every few years?" I looked at her and said, "Aren't you one of the seed contestants in our school? You should have more feelings than me. By the way, I haven't seen you practice hard recently. Are you planning to quit the pet beast competition?" ? I'm afraid your mentor won't agree."

"Although you passed all the way in the Condor Eagle City competition, in fact, it was because you didn't meet a really good guy, just like Leo, and it was difficult for you to beat him. If it was the Young City Lord who played against you, You must only have the power to parry." "Although I haven't seen the pet beast competition between schools, just think about it. At that time, the most powerful beast warriors in the world will gather together, and you will know how many powerful guys you will meet. Fengrou, you must hurry up Practice." Feng Rou sighed, put down the pen in her hand, and said in embarrassment: "Thinking about it is also a headache. It is said that this time will be the largest and the most participating schools since the start of the pet beast competition."

I asked curiously, "Which schools are participating?" Feng Rouxiu frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "It seems that there will be representatives from eight new human schools from seven continents participating in this competition. By the way, your good friend Leo and Little Peacock will also come to participate in this competition." .” I happily said: "Really? Which new human school are they all from?" Feng Judao: "We haven't found out the specific situation in Pet Magazine, but Leo seems to be a contestant from the new human school in ancient South America, and Little Peacock is a contestant from the ancient European school." She paused, as if Thinking of something again, he continued, "I heard that because there were too many participating schools this time, the referee committee composed of several schools decided to reduce the number of players from each participating school. Each school is only allowed to have ten representatives to participate in this competition." Contest."

"Then you..." I looked at Fengrou. "That's right," Feng Rou said with a relaxed expression, "If this rule is determined, I will definitely miss out on this competition. I won't be able to get the top ten masters in our school. But this rule is still During the discussion, it is uncertain whether it can be implemented." In the end, her face darkened again. This competition must have put a lot of pressure on her. I patted her leg reassuringly and said, "The purpose of your instructor's letting you participate is just to let you experience it. In the competition, if the opponent is too strong, you Just admit defeat, there is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and no one dares to say that he is the best."

Fengrou took a deep breath, burst into a bright smile, and said: "The teacher hasn't come to urge me to practice these days. It seems that this rule is very likely to be finalized. In fact, it's okay if it's not finalized. And you are with me." "What?" I asked in surprise. A sly smile suddenly appeared in her melancholy eyes, and she said: "Don't forget, you are the king of beasts, and the pet beast competition is considered a grand event if the beast king participates. Besides, your performance in the pet beast electronic contest is better than mine. Excellent, in the eyes of some people, it is remarkable, you have a greater chance than me to participate in this competition! Come on!"

"Someone?" I was speechless.Although it is a great honor for a pet warrior to be eligible to participate in this kind of worldwide competition, I still have self-knowledge. My level has not yet reached that level. A page of failure, so when my ability has not yet reached a certain level, I still don't want to have any head-on confrontation with those strong people prematurely. Fengrou seemed to be satisfied with my shocking reaction, and said with a sweet smile: "Yes, it is a joint judging organization of several schools. Because of your excellent performance in the Condor Eagle City Competition, they are likely to invite you to participate in this contest. A great event."

I said with a bitter face: "I hope it won't be like this. I'm only in the second grade, and I'm still a year away from the minimum qualification. I hope those old judges will let me go." Fengrou pursed her lips and chuckled, and said, "Let's continue. Well, what do you think of the Beastmaster's Red Army? Do you think they give you a lot of strength and confidence?" ... Time gradually came to the evening, and the night wind became colder. The little monkey had already fallen asleep in Fengrou's arms, looking naive.Today's interview is finally over, Feng Rou stretched her waist and stood up, Li Wo smiled at me shallowly and said: "Thank you for your cooperation, I stayed with me all afternoon, I hope I didn't delay your business. "

I also stood up, flexed my muscles, and said, "I never thought you were the one behind the Beastmaster's Red Legion. You must tell those girls when you go back, and next time, don't invite me to jump in the line for dinner." During the long conversation this afternoon, Fengrou accidentally revealed that she is the organizer of the Beastmaster's Red Army.So I couldn't help but tell her what happened in the cafeteria today, and complained a bit by the way. Fengrou obviously thought of my embarrassment at that time, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "I will tell them, but I hope you don't refuse their kindness."

I shrugged noncommittally. After spending more than ten days leisurely, I gradually got used to having girls from the Beastmaster Red Legion by my side.But Liu Yuanteng, who was looking for me bad luck that day, was unexpectedly not seen for many days, and I don't know where he went.Maybe he has forgotten me, the insignificant beast king. I just finished my history class in the afternoon today, and I unexpectedly received an invitation from the principal.For a moment, a bad thought flashed in my mind, why did the headmaster suddenly find me? Could it be because of the beast competition?I walked towards the principal's office with a lot of ups and downs in my heart. Walking through the corridor, I knocked on the door of the principal's office, and the principal kindly invited me in. As soon as I stepped into the inner room, I saw several strange guests standing or sitting in the room.I took a sneak peek, there were five guests in total, each of them was in his sixtieth year like the principal, but they all seemed to be in good spirits, as if they were in their prime. The old people looked very peaceful. When I entered, everyone's eyes were focused on me for a moment, which made me feel a little restless. The principal came over and said, "Don't scare the children." Everyone looked away one after another, and I suddenly felt that the sudden pressure disappeared and I felt much more relaxed. The principal led me to sit down on a seat, poured me a glass of juice, then turned around and said: "He is Lan Hu, who has just entered the second grade." One of the fat and short old men squinted his eyes and said: "The aptitude is acceptable, but the dark energy is a little weak." An old man with a red face sitting next to him said: "Old Wang is right, the little guy's dark energy is a little weaker, but judging from his age, it's not bad, but with his level of dark energy participating in pets The beast contest is too much!" "Ah!" I yelled in my heart, and my heart suddenly thumped violently.Unexpectedly, the long-worried misfortune finally came to me. I hope Fengrou's words will not come true!However, in their words, they seem to think that my dark energy is a little weak, and I am not qualified to participate in the beast competition. I hope they can always maintain this view. An old man who had been standing in front of the cabinet admiring the principal's collection suddenly came over and said calmly and confidently: "You have been strong for too long, and you have forgotten that the standard of a strong is not just the amount of dark energy." On both sides of the body, it looks extremely flexible, and the eyes are firm and full of elegance. There is a faint smile on his face, which makes people feel good at first glance. He said: "The difference between the strong and the weak is bravery and flexibility! Unless the dark energy is too disparate, no one dares to claim that he will be able to overcome Opponent. Bravery can make you maintain a peaceful and daring to win in adversity; flexibility can make you use skills to make up for the lack of dark energy when the dark energy is lower than the opponent. This child is the first one who dares to People who drink juice calmly in front of us old guys. In the past, no matter who it was, even that girl Roland would respect us in front of us. I hope to see this little guy in this competition." "Pfft!" I almost spit out the juice in one gulp.I just used to drink fruit juice because I was nervous, to reduce my concentration and relax my mood, which has nothing to do with bravery. "What Song Lao said is not bad," another old man said with a leisurely smile, "His excellent performance in the Shenying City Pet Beast Electronic Contest is enough to prove what Song Lao said. And at his young age, he can support two high-level pets." Beast, this is also unique among beast warriors." After he finished speaking, the principal looked at me and said, "Don't be nervous, I called you here at the request of the judges. The judges want to have a look at you, so as to decide whether to let you participate in the pet animal competition jointly organized by the eight schools." .” I quickly glanced at the five old men in front of me with fear, hoping that they would make a decision not to let me participate in the competition. After the principal finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the judges and said, "You have already seen it. Judges can think about it and make a choice tomorrow. But let me state my point of view first. As you can see, our Although the little beast king has many qualities and talents, he does not meet the conditions for participating in the competition. Letting him contact the strong ones too early is a kind of counterproductive behavior, so I will vote against and veto Lan Hu's participation in the pet beast competition Decide." As soon as the principal finished speaking, I was filled with joy as if the haze had been lifted from the sky.I have always been worried that the principal will ask me to participate in the pet beast competition. Now the principal vetoes the proposal of letting me participate in the pet beast competition in front of several judges. What can I say? I looked at the principal gratefully, and the principal smiled at me faintly. Several other judges also seemed to have realized their expressions, and no one spoke.The principal asked me to go back and wait for the news. The day after tomorrow, the list of our school's participation in the beast competition will be announced. I left the principal's office, and the cloud that had affected me for many days was swept away.The top pet warriors who have not yet graduated from all over the world will gather in this competition. My level needs at least two to three years of practice to compete with them. I don’t want to be beaten miserably by them. In the bottom of my heart Sow the seeds of failure. As soon as I went out and didn't take a few steps, I saw the person I didn't want to see for many days: Liu Yuandeng.He leaned against a tree alone, looking at me with a half-smile. I turned to avoid him and walked the other way.Before taking two steps, his voice came from behind: "Brother Lan, don't you want to see me so much?" I stopped, sighed, turned and walked towards him, lamenting in my heart why I always meet him, Qiu Lei has not found his information so far, and I have never thought of a way to crack his special ability. I bite the bullet and walked over, greeted him and said, "I actually saw Brother Liu again." He laughed and said, "Brother Lan seems a bit reluctant to see me. I just want to make friends with Brother Lan. Brother Lan doesn't need to avoid me thousands of miles away." I forced a smile and said: "No matter who it is, if someone uses Brother Liu's method to make friends when they meet for the first time, I think they will run away." "Haha!" Liu Yuanteng laughed triumphantly, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain in the laughter, "Brother Lan, do you mean you are afraid of me?" I smiled lightly, noncommittal. Liu Yuanteng looked straight, and said: "The real strong will not hide from the enemy, only the weak will hide from their enemies like a mouse. Brother Lan, as the Beastmaster of this generation, is so courageous, I am really disappointed But no matter what, I will defeat you in the competition, and I will prove to the world that I, Liu Yuandeng, is the strongest beast warrior, and you, will be the first poor thing to be defeated by me!" After he finished speaking, he didn't look at me again, turned and left, with firm steps.Looking at his back, I felt his full confidence and strong sense of fighting. Blood poured from the soles of my feet to my brain in an instant. It was the first time that I was underestimated by others. Facing the challenge of a strong man, my desire to fight was also ignited. impulse. With the idea of ​​fighting, my blood boiled more and more, my fighting spirit gradually increased, and my thoughts became clearer. I felt the dark energy in my body was constantly increasing, and I was like a volcano accumulating strength for an eruption. "Don't be fooled by him!" Suddenly someone said in my ear. I was taken aback, and the dark energy burst out like a punctured balloon.I immediately turned around and looked at the person who suddenly appeared beside me. I might have focused all my attention on Liu Yuandeng, but ignored the surrounding situation. Fan Qi stood beside me with a friendly smile, and looked at Liu Yuandeng going away like me. I looked at him in amazement, not knowing why he suddenly appeared.He turned his head and smiled at me, and said: "He is deliberately using words to provoke you to make a move. Once you make a move first, he will have an excuse. To be honest, you are not his opponent yet." From what he meant, he seemed to know Liu Yuanteng quite well, so I said, "Do you know him?" A strange smile appeared on the corner of Fan Qi's mouth and said: "He is a famous person!" "I don't think I've seen him before." I said suspiciously. Fan Qi said: "It's not surprising that you haven't seen him, because he is not a student of our Beast School. He is a sixth-grade student of the New Human School in Ancient Australia, and he is also the most talented beast warrior in Ancient Australia. After he defeated the top player in their school in the fourth grade, he has been the number one player. Today, two years later, he must be even stronger than before." I nodded in surprise, no wonder he is so powerful, I thought he was a freshman this year, but he turned out to be a master from another new human school.I said, "But why did he target me?" Fan Qi laughed and said: "Since you are the king of beasts, and you have recently become famous because of your performance in Condor Eagle City, you have naturally been identified by him as a target that must be defeated. Given your age, he may not be able to meet you in the pet beast competition." You, that's why he wants to motivate you before the competition!" I sighed helplessly, because I was tired of the reputation of the beast king again! Fan Qi said: "You don't have to worry, this is the beast school, and he won't be tolerated. If he tempts you, you must hold your breath. As long as you don't make a move first, he won't dare to make a move!" I suddenly remembered that Fan Qi standing beside me was also the number one expert!One is the top master of the new human school in the ancient Australian continent, and the other is the top master of the pet animal school in the ancient Asian continent. If the two meet together, what kind of sparks will they create? I glanced at him, and Fan Qi's gaze at Liu Yuanteng's back seemed to contain fighting intent. I imagined the thrilling scene of two people fighting in my mind.Fan Qi suddenly looked at me and said: "His pet is a rare plant-type pet. It is said that after merging, it has the ability to control plants, but no one has seen his pet itself. He is a very difficult person. Guy, you'd better stay away from him when your strength is not strong enough to fight him." I looked at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly became so kind! He seemed to feel my surprised gaze, turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "I know you are wary of me because of my brother, but this does not affect my principles of life. You have to pay attention, he He is a very persistent person, since he considers you as an opponent, he will continue to harass you until he achieves his own goal. But as long as you don’t give him a chance before the competition, he won’t have a chance.” After speaking, Fan Qi said goodbye and left. I watched him leave in puzzlement, with a voice of doubt in my heart, did I misread him before?If he wanted to harm me, he wouldn't have come to warn me, and told me Liu Yuandeng's identity. Wouldn't it be better to use Liu Yuandeng's hand to take revenge on me? I sighed, and couldn't figure out what Fan Qi's real intention was for a while. Back in the dormitory, I told Qiu Lei everything I encountered today.Qiu Lei said: "When you say it this way, I seem to have a little impression. It seems that I have heard of Liu Yuanteng. It is said that he is very powerful and cruel. None of the beast fighters who fought against him was not seriously injured. Because of this incident, I was almost expelled from school, but I didn't expect you to meet him, and now I'm in big trouble." I said helplessly: "I hope Fan Qi will not ignore it." Qiu Lei said: "That's right, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. What's more, this is Fan Qi's territory, how can he allow him to be so arrogant? I think Fan Qi will make some moves soon." I said: "Fan Qi also seems to be very jealous, otherwise he would not be allowed to live freely." Qiu Lei said: "The two of them are the favorites to win the championship this time. In all likelihood, they won't go to war before the game, which will make others cheaper. However, Liu Yuanteng is so rampant and blatantly challenged you. If Fan Qi ignores it, it will seem He's too timid." I said dejectedly: "During this time, I can only go out as little as possible." In the blink of an eye, the day when the principal said he would announce the entry list came. I received a notice from the principal and went to the principal's office again.This time, there was only the principal in the principal's office, and the other judges were not there. I felt relieved for a while. The principal motioned for me to sit down across from him.The principal looked at me with a smile, and said, "Lan Hu, after all the judges' votes, we have decided to make an exception for you to participate in this beast competition!" "What!" I couldn't help standing up excitedly. The principal looked at me excitedly, and said leisurely: "Since your cultivation is only at the level of the second grade, in addition to participating in the player training that will start the day after tomorrow, during the month before the competition, every night I will also Special training for you to improve your strength as much as possible in a short period of time."
