Chapter 2040: Just Set Her on Fire
“When you go up and fight, try your best, and then just stop at that. This competition is not child’s play.” Instructor Wen frowned slightly and said to Ning Shu.
“Yes.”
Ning Shu entered the arena and stared at Mu Ziqi.
Mu Ziqi was in a bad mood. If it weren’t for the academy tournament, he definitely would have already gone home. Staying would only make him more irritated and distraught.
However, Mu Ziqi also wanted to acquire the academy’s resources. There was a rumor that this time’s first-place reward was very generous. He had to get it.
When Mu Ziqi saw that his opponent was Ning Shu, he frowned, impatience filling the space between his brows. His facial color was quite ugly.
“Just set her on fire. So annoying.” Mu Ziqi said to his summoned beast. Mu Ziqi would go up and beat his other opponents himself. But facing Ning Shu, Mu Ziqi was only filled with impatience and disgust. He didn’t even want to beat her up.
She’d seen his downcast appearance at the academy gate earlier. Plus, she’d also previously confessed to him, not considering how she was way below his league.
Mu Ziqi’s summoned beast was pretty much the same as his sister’s—a beautiful and huge bird.
It looked like a phoenix. However, it couldn’t be reborn from ashes and was actually a luan bird. If it achieved the former, however, it had the potential to evolve into a phoenix.
Mu Ziqi’s luan bird let out a clear cry, flew into the air, and opened its mouth to spew a long stream of fire toward Ning Shu.
Ning Shu hurriedly dodged, but a flame still got on her cuff. Ning Shu quickly patted the cuff, but the flame didn’t weaken at all.
Flames raged wildly on the ground.
Ning Shu suddenly jumped directly over the flames and sent a punch toward Mu Ziqi.
Seeing Ning Shu rushing towards him, Mu Ziqi grimly laughed. She really thought she was so great now that she had a little bit of strength.
Mu Ziqi took a step back, closed his eyes slightly, and then summoned another summoned beast, the iron-winged spirit bull.
The entire body of the iron-winged spirit bull looked as if it was made of rocks. As soon as it came out, it mooed and charged toward Ning Shu, directing the sharp horns on its head toward her.
If Ning Shu was really hit by the iron-winged spirit bull, she’d end up half dead. Even if she didn’t die, she’d be disabled.
Mu Ziqi really was cruel.
Ning Shu wasn’t about to collide with that barbarian bull. Instead, she turned her body sideways and dodged its attack, then grabbed its horn and flipped herself up to sit on the iron-winged spirit bull’s back.
The iron-winged spirit bull thrashed around, trying to throw Ning Shu off.
Ning Shu clutched its horn tightly, and then mobilized the energy in her body, sinking it into her dantian.
Then with all her strength, Ning Shu knocked it to the ground. The iron-winged spirit bull was slammed onto the ground with a thud, causing the arena to cave in a little.
“Moo moo…” The iron-winged spirit bull shouted shrilly and mournfully.
Ning Shu gathered her entire strength, swung the bull around in a circle, and threw it to smash into Mu Ziqi.
Mu Ziqi’s expression was a little stunned, but he still reacted quickly and immediately put his summoned beast away.
The audience members were speechless. Ning Shu had swung around a bull as if she was playing with it. How much strength did she have?
“Chirp chirp…” The luan bird, who was flying in the air lowered itself, letting Mu Ziqi jump on its back. They then flew into the air, condescendingly looking down on Ning Shu.
Ning Shu might be strong, but strength wasn’t useful in this situation.
“Teach her a lesson. Don’t let her off easily.” Mu Ziqi’s expression was malevolent. His iron-winged spirit bull had sustained severe injuries.
Did you really assume you could be successful in all your endeavors just because of a little strength?
How naive!
