But the reverse was also true.
Now that they had been defeated by the other party, they naturally no longer had the confidence to maintain their previously condescending attitude.
More importantly.
The student named Lu Fei from Cang Town Beast Taming Academy was terrifyingly powerful.
After all, in their original predictions, Liu Mancheng was an elite genius who could contend for the top three in this Beast Taming Competition.
Yet he had been so easily and decisively defeated by Lu Fei.
Just how powerful would Lu Fei's contracted beast be?
What level had his true strength reached?
Just thinking about it sent shivers down their spines.
When did Cang Town Beast Taming Academy produce such a monster?
Recalling their previous mockery and disdain for Lu Fei and Cang Town Beast Taming Academy, everyone suddenly felt ashamed, and the air seemed to be filled with an inexplicable irony.
Chen Fan and the others were not aggressive types. After venting their anger from being previously ridiculed, they saw that the students from Tiecheng Tuo Academy were pale and speechless and dismissed them with a curl of their lips.
Coincidentally, Lu Fei also returned from the beast taming arena, so everyone eagerly surrounded him.
"What are you guys doing?"
Seeing everyone flocking towards him with beaming faces, Lu Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Liu Manman smiled and replied, "It's all because you defeated Liu Mancheng. We've finally had a good outlet for our frustration."
Lu Fei was stunned. Glancing at the dejected students from Tiecheng Tuo Academy on the other side, he chuckled and shook his head.
"Why bother with people like them?"
As his strength grew, Lu Fei's mindset had long since changed.
He wouldn't even pay attention to such rivalries between students from different academies, as long as they didn't cross the line.
On the other side.
Liu Mancheng also withdrew from the beast taming arena. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his companions looking as if they had lost their parents. He turned his head away with a speed imperceptible to others.
Looking at Lu Fei, who was surrounded by everyone like a star, a murderous intent arose deep within him.
How dare he try to kill his contracted beast!
This grudge was now settled!
Lu Fei, no matter what, I will make you pay!
If I can't do it on the field, then we'll play off-field!
...
In the waiting room of Lei Tao Academy.
The room was dead silent.
Everyone was staring dumbfounded at the screen, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
Even those from Lei Tao Academy who had already watched Lu Fei's second match were still deeply shocked.
Two level 80 contracted beasts were instantly killed in the blink of an eye.
This scene was truly beyond their imagination!
"So, so powerful!"
After a long while, someone exclaimed in awe, breaking the silence.
The others also took a deep breath.
"This Sword Guard is too terrifying!"
"We underestimated Lu Fei before."
"This strength is simply frightening. How could he be a beginner beast tamer? He must be playing the pig to eat the tiger!"
"Yeah, we're on a completely different level!"
Exclamations erupted one after another.
The shock still lingered on everyone's faces.
They had never imagined that someone could crush Liu Mancheng in such a manner!
Such a situation had never occurred in previous competitions.
It was truly astonishing.
The students from the other academy had long since shed their disbelief.
Only now did they understand why the people from Lei Tao Academy had looked that way before, as if they had seen something incredible.
In fact, it was indeed incredible.
Anyone who witnessed such a scene would be shocked to the point of questioning their existence.
"What is the background of this Lu Fei?"
"With such strong strength, he must be a direct heir meticulously trained by some prominent family."
"Highly likely!"
"After the competition, I'll ask on the official forum for the academy league!"
After being awed by Lu Fei's incredibly monstrous strength, the people from Tiecheng Tuo Academy became much quieter.
The group sat in silence, and even when they spoke occasionally, they unconsciously lowered their voices.
Their gazes towards Lu Fei carried an undisguised reverence.
Lu Fei paid no attention to their stares and watched the matches with interest.
After the third round of matches, only 50 participants remained.
They were almost all elite participants ranked in the top three of their respective academies.
The situation of Cang Town Beast Taming Academy was a testament to this.
Now, only Lu Fei and Bai Qianqian remained.
Many smaller academies had been completely wiped out, exiting the league stage entirely.
After the third round of matches, it was already noon.
Everyone welcomed a two-hour rest period.
After eating, and resting until 2 PM, the fourth round of matches officially began.
As expected, Lu Fei easily secured another victory.
Bai Qianqian finally lost.
However, even more tragic than Cang Town Beast Taming Academy was Tiecheng Tuo Academy.
Perhaps influenced by Liu Mancheng's elimination and Lu Fei's terrifying strength, the performance of the Tiecheng Tuo Academy members afterward was subpar.
By the end of the day's matches, all the students from Tiecheng Tuo Academy had been eliminated, which was contrary to many people's pre-match predictions.
Coupled with the early exit of the highly anticipated Liu Mancheng, it was foreseeable that Tiecheng Tuo Academy's performance this year would be significantly inferior to previous years.
Liu Mancheng and the others also realized this, all showing expressions of immense dejection.
Casting a complex look at Lu Fei, Liu Mancheng gritted his teeth and waited.
After being inexplicably defeated by Lu Fei, he hadn't been without a sliver of doubt.
He suspected that Lu Fei might have used some special secret technique to defeat him.
But in the subsequent matches, Lu Fei defeated his opponents with ease using that Sword Guard, without even summoning his second contracted beast.
Liu Mancheng had watched the entire process clearly.
By this point, he finally understood completely.
There truly was an insurmountable chasm between him and Lu Fei.
Thinking of this, Liu Mancheng's murderous intent towards Lu Fei grew even stronger.
A genius who lived his life under the awe and adulation of others, suddenly encountering a monstrous, peerless genius who far surpassed him in both talent and strength – such a person could not be allowed to live!
