After getting his hands on a few decent-quality lobsters, Little Fatty decided to head back.

Just as Qin Ming knew him, he really didn't plan to stay up all night.

Little Fatty's daily routine is always regular: eat, sleep, and eat again. Today's shrimp-catching trip was purely impromptu, and we can't let this unexpected event disrupt his biological clock.

He greeted Chu Jiang and returned. Perhaps the exercise made him particularly sleepy, as he fell asleep at a new speed—one second he was catching shrimp, the next he was asleep.

As for Chu Jiang: "A ghost! Achoo!"

He stood alone by the empty pool, and a gust of night wind made him shiver.

The scene from just now is replaying in my mind: such a big shrimp, gone just like that!

Such a big turtle, gone just like that?!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he became, the more he thought about it. He tossed and turned all night, and when dawn broke, he reported to his master with dark circles under his eyes.

Chef Huang was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when he saw the man's listless appearance. Without stopping his knife, he said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Master, that turtle..." Chu Jiang opened his mouth, but his mind went blank.

Master Huang waved his hand, interrupting, "Alright, alright, go back and rest for half a day before coming back. Looking at you, you might cut your hand while chopping vegetables."

Chu Jiang was moved to tears.

As for Qin Ming, everyone knew that Little Fatty had worked hard last night, so they tiptoed around this morning without waking him.

Keda even canceled her favorite morning exercise and quietly squatted on the windowsill preening her feathers.

Cang Xuan even lightened the force of his claws when they landed, and his massive body moved around the room without making a sound.

"Today's schedule, Cangxuan, take down the winning streak, then go to the Azure Dragon Stele with Black Hole this afternoon!" Qin Ming instructed after leaving the house.

"Aww!" Cang Xuan nodded in response.

"Eh!" Black Hole responded cheerfully. He was willing to do anything as long as he could avoid being chased by Fire Scale Butterfly!

……

Cangxuan made quite a splash yesterday, and when he returned to the battle arena, many people recognized this giant wolf that came with its own botanical garden.

"That's the one! It took down the three-time undefeated Tundra Lion in one move yesterday!"

"I heard it's a wood-type? To achieve this kind of record in the North is quite impressive."

"That's right, the vegetation is growing like crazy, even the judges said they've never seen this kind of playing style before."

The crowd automatically parted to make way, their eyes filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

Qin Ming lowered the brim of his hat and walked through the crowd without looking to the side.

This kind of respect has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it saves time waiting in line, while the disadvantage is that his information is exposed too quickly.

Hopefully, a countermeasure will not be developed so quickly.

This is why Qin Ming is so anxious and unwilling to delay. Winning streaks become increasingly difficult as you progress.

Fortunately, things progressed smoothly, and Cang Xuan won all three matches in the morning cleanly.

Their winning streak continued to climb.

Just as noon approached, when they were only two games away from achieving their winning streak, an obstacle appeared.

The Geng Metal Tiger is a true obstacle to your path.

It was a giant tiger, entirely golden in color, with a faint metallic sheen on its fur. Its four paws left shallow imprints on the ground with each step.

He was a size larger than Cang Xuan, and his whole body exuded a sharp and fierce aura.

Its main body is powerful, and its level has reached the threshold of the fourth tier. Its attribute is also the metal element, which is effective against Cangxuan.

Geng Jinhu's beast tamer was a tall, strong young man who stood on the other side of the arena, arms crossed, a confident smile on his lips.

The matchmaking rules for the winning streak challenge allow players to actively request to be sniped, and he was clearly waiting here specifically.

Cang Xuan stood beside Qin Ming, his gaze calmly fixed on the opposite side, his tail lightly brushing the ground. The wolf clan never feared battle.

But Qin Ming didn't plan to let him fight.

"Keda, how's your status? Can you go on?"

"Gah!"

Once summoned, it makes a beautiful spin in the air and lands in the center of the arena.

His small, dark eyes were now as sharp as cold stars, his feathers were fluffy, and a thick mist emanated from his body.

Keda, who slept all day yesterday, is now in surprisingly good condition.

Although Qin Ming understood that Canglong Academy would not allow outsiders to easily achieve a winning streak, as it would be too embarrassing, it was normal for them to arrange for opponents with a counter-attribute to snipe them.

However, this kind of targeted approach in terms of attributes and match scheduling is still unpleasant.

Cang Xuan is not a lone wolf; he has companions!

Just as water can erode and oxidize metals, the indestructible nature of metals is precisely overcome by the gentlest water.

As soon as Keda stepped onto the stage, the dense water vapor surrounding him caused the Gengjin Tiger Beastmaster, who had been confident of victory, to suddenly turn pale.

"Water-type?" He frowned, looking at Keda, then at Cangxuan squatting below the stage, his expression shifting several times. "Aren't you a wood-type user? Why did you bring a water-type spirit beast?"

Qin Ming didn't reply, but simply said, "Keda, don't hold back, finish this quickly!"

"Gah!"

He could take flight, and water vapor condensed around him into countless fine water blades, which shot towards the Geng Metal Tiger in a massive, overwhelming attack.

Geng Jinhu roared, his whole body radiating golden light. The water blades struck his body, making a hissing, corrosive sound, and the golden light dimmed at a visible speed.

With the combined advantage of superior attributes and level, the outcome of this match was a foregone conclusion.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Geng Jinhu was soaked to the bone, lying dejectedly on the arena, his golden aura dimmed.

His beast tamer's face turned ashen, his lips moved, but he ultimately raised his hand in surrender.

The array on the arena lit up, and the winning streak numbers started jumping again.

Soon, a rumor began to spread with some detail.

"Have you heard? One of those who came for this exchange program secured their spot through a winning streak!"

"What! Didn't they just arrive yesterday?"

The explosive news spread like wildfire to every corner of the world.

It's normal for people to experience a period of adjustment when traveling to a distant place. The experts from Canglong Academy wouldn't stoop to taking advantage of someone in such a vulnerable time, planning to wait until they've settled down before engaging in proper sparring.

But unexpectedly, due to a moment of carelessness, the house was burgled?

This unusual feeling quickly swept across the entire campus.

Some were shocked, some were unconvinced, and some began to inquire about Qin Ming's background.

At noon, Zeng Guian, wrapped in a coat even thicker than yesterday, squeezed his way into the cafeteria with difficulty.

He really couldn't stand the cold at Canglong Academy. Even though he was wearing his thickest clothes, he still felt a chill seeping into his bones.

The bloated man was taking up two seats by himself, engrossed in eating his rice, when he suddenly noticed that the person next to him was giving him a strange look.

"Qin Ming, don't you think the way the people around us are looking at us is weird?" he asked, his mouth full of rice, his words muffled.

"Eat your food, they're waiting for your seat!" Qin Ming had already taken off his hat and coat.

"Really? I don't think so." Zeng Guian looked up with some suspicion, just in time to meet several probing gazes from not far away.

"Who cares about them? I need to get to the Azure Dragon Stele this afternoon, I'm in a hurry!" Qin Ming ate quickly, his chopsticks practically flying out of their shadows.

"Oh, Azure Dragon..." Zeng Gui'an responded, then suddenly realized what he had done, and his chopsticks clattered onto the table. "What! Azure Dragon Stele, what have you done?!"

His eyes widened, and his voice involuntarily rose. Fortunately, he subconsciously lowered his voice for the second half of his question. Although he couldn't hide his shock, he managed to avoid being heard by others in the noisy cafeteria.

Qin Ming didn't even look up: "Hmm, calm down, calm down. But these spots are definitely limited, so it's best to act fast. Good luck to you too!"

Zeng Guian: "..."

He didn't make the first move. Was it because he didn't want to?

A sneeze!

The loud sneeze shook the table. Zeng Guian rubbed his itchy nose, tears welling up in his eyes.
