My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

In the midst of extreme pain, the succubus finally couldn't hold on and completely fainted.

Gu Xing noticed this and gave Liu Li a meaningful glance.

The little angel understood and immediately retracted the Red Flame covering the succubus's body.

After all, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, if he truly killed this succubus in public, it would inevitably become fodder for controversy.

Moreover...

To destroy an Epic-level Succubus like this would be... too much of a waste!

He looked down at the unconscious succubus, deep in thought.

According to the gambling agreement, Chen Ziming had completely lost, so the right to dispose of this succubus naturally fell into his hands.

Take back the Guardian Beast that once betrayed him?

He had no such twisted inclination!

However...

Shen Ruoxue had lost her Guardian Beast because of him.

And now... isn't this the perfect opportunity to make amends?

Although this succubus had questionable intentions, its talent was still considerable.

As long as Shen Ruoxue signed a "Servant Contract" with it, not only would it compensate for her loss, but it would also ensure the succubus dared not harbor any impure thoughts again.

Ordinary Beast Taming Contracts emphasize equality and mutual assistance, but Servant Contracts are completely different.

Once signed, the Guardian Beast's life, soul, and even thoughts would be entirely under the master's control.

Although such contracts have been banned, considering this succubus's special situation...

Xia Xiu would likely not refuse!

After deciding the succubus's fate, Gu Xing's gaze returned to Chen Ziming.

At this moment, Chen Ziming still knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the rough surface of the arena, and pleaded hoarsely:

"Gu... Brother Gu... I beg you to show mercy..."

Gu Xing's eyes darkened.

He had sworn to repay them multiple times over, and he needed to see it through!

From Shen Ruoxue's team members, he learned the whole story.

Just because Shen Ruoxue had delayed a few minutes for him, Chen Ziming took such vicious actions against her.

Gu Xing stepped forward slowly, his boots making a dull sound on the arena floor.

"It's time to end this!"

Tormenting others was not his original intent; the previous punishment was enough to vent his anger.

Gu Xing looked down from above at the trembling Chen Ziming.

"Between you and me, the debt is settled. Next... is the debt you owe Shen Ruoxue."

"Of course—" He flexed his wrists, "Since she can't collect it herself right now, I'll do it for her."

Chen Ziming jerked his head up, terror flashing in his eyes.

"You break her leg... and I'll break all your limbs!"

Before the words had even finished, and before Chen Ziming could react, four crisp bone-cracking sounds erupted in succession.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The intense pain rushed over him like a tide, and Chen Ziming didn't even have time to scream before his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

His limbs twisted in grotesque angles, like a disassembled puppet.

The spectators who witnessed this scene collectively gasped.

"God Gu... he's too ruthless! He actually disabled Chen Ziming's limbs in front of everyone! Isn't he afraid of the Chen Family's retaliation?"

"Open your eyes and look... Chen Shan hasn't moved from his seat from the beginning to the end, clearly showing that the City Lord intervened."

"Indeed, if it weren't for the City Lord's intervention, the referee would have stepped in long ago; why else wait until now?"

At the edge of the arena, the referee suddenly stumbled.

The terrifying pressure that had locked onto him finally dissipated.

Still shaken, he glanced at Xia Xiu, who was meditating on the high platform, and immediately proclaimed loudly:

"In this duel, Gu Xing wins!"

The entire plaza fell into a brief silence, then erupted into deafening cheers.

In stark contrast was the VIP section of the high platform.

Chen Shan's fingers dug deeply into the armrest, leaving five indentations in the solid wood.

His son had been publicly crippled, yet he couldn't even lift a finger.

Bullying too far!!

Chen Shan's eyes were bloodshot, anger surging within him like an overwhelming tide.

Xia Xiu, seeing the outcome decided, spoke with measured calmness:

"Vice-Principal Chen, it's time to announce Gu Xing as this exam's champion!"

Xia Xiu's gentle tone was laced with a sharp warning.

If the two still couldn't see reason, he wouldn't mind helping to reduce the city by one commerce guild president and a vice-principal.

However.

Chen Shan suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with blood-red streaks:

"City Lord Xia, do you think this will cover him up?"

"Oh?"

Xia Xiu's eyes grew cold, his presence roiling like a boundless ocean.

For him, as the dignified lord of a city, to have his authority repeatedly challenged by Chen Shan, a High Tier Extraordinary Beast Master, even his patience was wearing thin enough to ignite his anger.

But Chen Shan had already lost all reason.

With his only son disabled in public, his eyes burned with nothing but a frenzied obsession.

"Gu Xing never qualified to compete! He was over half an hour late, and by the rules, he should be disqualified!"

"This is the Longxia Regulations, and not even you, the City Lord, can change his disqualification from fact."

Xia Xiu's brow furrowed, and after his attendant confirmed the news, his expression became grave.

He had indeed overlooked this point...

Seeing Gu Xing already on the arena upon arrival, he hadn't investigated the eligibility issue further.

He hadn't expected this to crop up!

Now things were difficult.

Chen Yan also reacted swiftly, delivering an additional blow:

"City Lord Xia, rules are rules. Even for an SSS-Class talent, they can't rise above the law."

"So, Gu Xing's eligibility must be revoked!"

Xia Xiu found himself in a dilemma.

What was once a minor issue could now become major.

The school might have just let it slide with a blind eye.

But now, the Chen father and son clung relentlessly to the Longxia Regulations, turning this simple lateness issue into a matter of national law.

Even as Lin Yuan City's City Lord, he couldn't flaunt any special privileges.

This was troubling!

The unannounced championship result caused the venue to gradually grow restless.

"What's going on? God Gu clearly won the match, why haven't they announced the result?"

"Could something have gone wrong? God Gu followed all the rules throughout."

"Wait... Was God Gu late before the match began?"

In the center of the arena, Gu Xing frowned slightly.

In this world teeming with alien beasts, Longxia Country implemented wartime management regulations, where rules took precedence over everything.

For this reason, he strictly adhered to the rules during his match to give no one cause for complaint.

However, it now appeared...

He looked up towards the high platform, meeting Chen Shan's twisted grin.

After a brief consideration, he understood where things had gone wrong.

Yet...

A cold smile lifted the corners of Gu Xing's mouth.

Even if he were truly disqualified, so what?

With Liu Li's capabilities, there were special recruitment channels, military recommendations...

There were plenty of ways to walk into elite academies!

It would just require a bit more effort.

On the high platform, Chen Yan calmly stood, leisurely adjusting his impeccable sleeve cuffs.

A look of triumph colored his face as he spoke:

"After our discussions..."

He deliberately prolonged his tone, allowing the entire audience's focus to converge.

"Candidate Gu Xing is disqualified due to serious lateness!"

Before the last word even finished, a piercing sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up to see a giant bird with a wingspan over thirty meters tearing through the clouds, casting a colossal shadow over the entire plaza.

"Such audacity!"

A thunderous rebuke exploded from above.

"I want to see who dares to revoke the exam qualification of a First-class Honor Medal recipient!"
