My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

On the high platform.

When City Lord of Lin Yuan, Xia Xiu, saw Shen Ruoxue stumble again from the Succubus's Spiritual Shock, he finally couldn't help but speak up:

"Deputy Principal Chen," his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it brought total silence to the platform.

"Isn't this duel going a bit too far!"

Chen Yan's smile froze for a second, then he quickly resumed a brighter smile:

"City Lord Xia, you're overstating it. Young people inevitably lose control during sparring."

"Ziming has always known his limits, don't you agree, Old brother Chen?"

Chen Shan stroked his beard, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Naturally, my son has always been mindful in his actions, the City Lord is overthinking."

Seeing the duo echo each other's words, Xia Xiu's gaze gradually darkened.

The duel on the stage no longer had any reason to continue.

Yet from their attitude, it was clear they were intent on letting Chen Ziming continue humiliating the girl on stage.

Xia Xiu's fist clenched slightly, but he eventually refrained from speaking out.

The iron rule of Longxia Country ——

Military separated from politics, the educational system runs independently!

Even as the City Lord of Lin Yuan, he had no authority to interfere in examination matters.

He didn't initially have to attend the exam venue, but became curious about the SSS-Class talent personally taken away by Wei Yuan, which brought him here to watch the duel.

But unexpectedly...

Before Gu Xing could make a move, he encountered these two setting him up.

Witnessing the blatant indulgence by Chen Ziming and his father, Xia Xiu snorted coldly, no longer speaking.

However...

His gaze towards Chen Ziming grew increasingly cold.

On the stage.

Chen Ziming seemed to have grown weary.

He waved his hand disinterestedly, causing the Succubus to immediately halt its attack.

At this moment, that alluring silhouette trembled slightly, with an unnatural blush appearing on its pale cheeks.

As a Contracted Beast, she wasn't allowed to attack humans.

But Chen Ziming's order made her break this taboo!

Earlier, when assaulting Shen Ruoxue.

She felt a certain longing deep within suddenly unleashed.

Watching Shen Ruoxue powerless before her, an unprecedented sense of pleasure surged through her.

Being abruptly stopped, she unwillingly licked her lips.

Ultimately, she suppressed the rampaging impulse, obediently retreating to the side.

Chen Ziming casually walked up to Shen Ruoxue.

He looked down at the bloodied and dirtied girl slumped on the ground.

"Tell me," he crouched down, his voice filled with danger.

"What exactly is your relationship with Gu Xing? Earlier, you were willing to buy him time?"

Shen Ruoxue struggled to raise her head, blood sliding down her forehead, staining her vision.

But her stubborn eyes remained open, shimmering with undisguised mockery.

She spat out a mouthful of blood foam:

"Cough... Why should I... tell you?"

Chen Ziming's smile deepened instantly, yet it sent a chill down the spine.

"It's fine, the relationship between you two isn't very important to me!"

"Just answer one question, and I'll let you concede with dignity, alright?"

Seeing Shen Ruoxue still glaring at him coldly, he continued on his own accord:

"Who do you think is stronger... between me and Gu Xing? Remember... to answer clearly after thinking it through!"

When saying the last words, Chen Ziming deliberately emphasized them.

As long as this woman wasn't stupid, she should understand his implied meaning.

However.

Shen Ruoxue suddenly laughed.

Blood dripped down her chin, but it couldn't hide the sarcasm in her eyes:

"Chen Ziming, you're truly pathetic! Is this all you've got?"

She enunciated slowly:

"Compared to Gu Xing..."

"You're far from it!"

The three words cut through Chen Ziming's facade like a sharp blade.

His pupils contracted fiercely, a twisted expression flashing across his face.

"Very well!"

He abruptly stood, snapping his fingers at the Succubus.

The Succubus's crimson tongue licked over her fangs, eyes glistening with sickly excitement.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of bones snapping echoed throughout.

Shen Ruoxue's body trembled violently, her nails deeply embedded in her palm, yet she stifled a cry of pain.

Beads of sweat mixed with blood rolled down, pooling darkly beneath her.

"Awoo—!"

The Snow Shadow Wolf struggled desperately, its white fur seeping with mottled bloodstains.

But under the Succubus's terrifying spiritual pressure, it could only let out a reluctant whimper, eventually forced to sprawl on the stage, its limbs convulsing.

An Awakening Tier Five talented Snow Shadow Wolf versus an Awakening Tier Eight Epic talent Succubus.

The gap between them was like a chasm!

The Succubus could completely suppress the Snow Shadow Wolf solely through its spiritual attribute.

Chen Ziming leisurely tidied his cuffs, casually kicking Shen Ruoxue's face with his boot's tip:

"You should be grateful that this is on the stage!"

Chen Ziming turned around, then floated a command:

"Succubus, kill that wolf!"

Upon hearing the order, even Shen Ruoxue, who was trembling from pain, froze.

But the next moment, overwhelming panic engulfed her.

Her Guardian Beast... was going to be killed?

Even though she hadn't uttered a scream under the Succubus's assault, enduring wounds all over her body, tears suddenly slid down her cheeks.

At this moment, she was afraid!

"Chen Ziming, please... please, don't!"

However.

Chen Ziming, who had turned away, didn't pause for a second.

"Too late!"

The Succubus licked her lips, and the next instant, appeared before the Snow Shadow Wolf.

"No... don't..."

Under Shen Ruoxue's despairing gaze.

The Succubus's slender tailtip pierced like a blade into the Snow Shadow Wolf's brow, bringing forth a spray of crimson blood.

The Beast Taming Contract suddenly broke...

Accompanied by the shock from the Guardian Beast's death!

Shen Ruoxue spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, then fainted on the stage like a puppet with its strings cut.

The whole audience was stunned by the sight.

"It seems the Guardian Beast was killed by Chen Ziming! Such actions... are against the rules, aren't they?"

"But even till the end, the judge didn't voice any objections, right?"

"Didn't you notice that Chen Ziming's opponents always end up miserable?"

"Now that you mention it, none of the Guardian Beasts left the stage intact; the worst was Shen Ruoxue! Even her Guardian Beast was killed by Chen Ziming!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, the Deputy Principal of Lin Yuan High School is also a Chen. You guys don't want to join the next assessment?"

Amidst the noisy chatter, Chen Ziming slowly turned, his gaze piercing through the crowd towards Gu Xing.

His lips curved in the triumphant smile of a winner, mouthing silently:

"Oppose me... are you worthy?"

But.

Faced with Chen Ziming's provocation, Gu Xing remained exceptionally calm.

But standing beside him, Liu Li could clearly sense...

The icy aura from her master was nearly freezing the air.

"Liu Li," Gu Xing's voice was chillingly calm, "when you take the stage, go all out."

The little Angel nodded heavily.

Even her inherently kind nature burned with rare fury in her eyes at this moment.
