Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress

"What?" Yi Chen was also startled.

This lion's defense is terrifying; it can't even be broken!

The golden lion slammed down with its paw, sending Yi Chen flying like a cannonball, crashing through several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

"A tabby cat!" Su Qianxue exclaimed in surprise.

"Never mind that, just take care of yourself."

With a cold laugh, he appeared before Su Qianxue like a ghost, his short sword aimed straight for her throat.

Su Qianxue parried with her sword.

"Clang!"

A tremendous force surged through her, causing Su Qianxue's arms to go numb and her longsword to nearly slip from her grasp.

The power of a fourth-tier martial artist is far beyond what she can currently contend with.

"Go to hell!"

Shun launched another attack, each move deadly.

Su Qianxue could barely hold on, and was in grave danger.

On the other side, the purple-gold lion was walking towards Yi Chen, each step carrying a deadly pressure.

Yi Chen climbed out of the ruins and shook his head, which was feeling a little dizzy.

"Damn it, I just wanted to see just how powerful you are. If I can't beat you, I can certainly beat your master!"

Yi Chen's emerald green eyes flashed wildly with purple light, even taking on a hint of blood.

"Illusion: Eternal Nightmare!"

This is the strongest illusion he can currently cast.

Just as he was about to launch the final attack, his body suddenly froze.

He found that the scenery before him had changed. Su Qianxue had disappeared, replaced by a blood-red wasteland, where countless ferocious ghosts were crawling out from underground, tearing at his body.

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"

Shun frantically swung his short sword, slashing wildly at the air.

The golden lion was also affected; its originally fierce eyes became chaotic, and it began to roar wildly in place.

"Now!" Su Qianxue seized the opportunity and poured all the spiritual power in her body into the longsword.

The longsword emitted a dazzling ice-blue light, and the surrounding air instantly froze.

"The Ice Phoenix Descends!"

This was her signature move from her previous life. Although she could only unleash one ten-thousandth of its power now, it was still enough.

A huge phantom of an ice phoenix appeared behind Su Qianxue.

She moved with the sword, transforming into a streak of light that instantly pierced through Shun's chest.

"puff!"

Shun's body trembled violently, and the illusion in his eyes vanished. He looked down at the huge, transparent hole in his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

"How... is this possible..."

He, a fourth-level martial artist, actually died at the hands of a third-level freshman?

As Shun collapsed, the golden lion let out a mournful cry, and its body gradually dissipated.

A contracted beast is bound to its master by life; if the master dies, the beast cannot live either.

Su Qianxue knelt on the ground, her long sword stuck beside her, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. That last move had exceeded her limits, and her meridians had been severely injured.

Yichen ran over and looked at her with concern.

"I'm fine." Su Qianxue patted his head, forced herself to stand up, and then felt relieved.

At this moment, Su Qianxue sat cross-legged beside the corpse of the "Purple-Gold Lion" and began to refine its essence and blood.

The essence blood left behind by the purple-gold lion floated in the air, radiating alluring energy fluctuations.

boom!

A violent power exploded within her body. The essence blood of a King-level beast was indeed extraordinary; that energy almost ruptured her meridians.

Su Qianxue gritted her teeth and frantically circulated the "Ice Heart Technique".

Yi Chen stood guard anxiously by her side, and he could feel Su Qianxue's aura rapidly increasing.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes...

As the last trace of essence blood was refined, Su Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes, and a flash of icy blue light disappeared.

Peak of late-stage Tier 3! Just one step away from Tier 4.

"Hoo," Su Qianxue exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling her whole body filled with strength.

She glanced at the masked man on the ground, her eyes cold.

"I'll remember this debt with the Lin family and Wang Hai."

She searched Shun's body and found a specially made token with the character "林" engraved on it.

"As expected, they are from the Lin family." Su Qianxue put away the token. "Yichen, we have half an hour left. Let's go collect the remaining points."

For the next half hour, the strange beasts in the secret realm suffered.

After her breakthrough, Su Qianxue's destructive power increased exponentially.

She led Yichen through the forest, rampaging through it and leaving no beast untouched, no matter how small.

[Ding! You have defeated the Tier 3 alien beast, the Armored Rhinoceros King, and gained 400 points!]

[Ding! Defeat the Tier 3 Beast Windblade Leopard, gaining 400 points!]

……

Inside the trial hall.

The once noisy crowd was now deathly silent.

Everyone, including all the teachers and Dean Qin Shan, stared blankly at the screen.

The numbers following that name were beating at a heart-stopping speed.

40000...45000...48000...

Finally, the number settled at: 50000 points!

"Fifty thousand points..." an elderly teacher said in a trembling voice, "I'm not mistaken, am I? In the school's fifty-year history, the highest record is only eight thousand points, isn't it?"

"This isn't just breaking a record, it's setting a new record."

Qin Shan's body trembled slightly. He had thought that Su Qianxue would be very strong, but he did not expect her to be this ridiculously strong.

This isn't just a genius, this is a prodigy among prodigies!

Wang Hai's face was ashen; he knew that Shun had failed.

Not only did she fail, but Su Qianxue also achieved such a terrifying result. What should I do when she comes out?

Just then, the trial time ended, and the spatial rift in the center of the hall fluctuated violently, teleporting out a series of disheveled figures.

Most of the students were covered in dust and dirt, some even had their school uniforms torn to shreds, and their faces were filled with the terror of surviving a disaster.

As more and more people came out, the hall became noisy, with students gathering in small groups to discuss their results in the trial.

"The beasts in Sunset Valley were too ferocious this time; I almost didn't make it back!" A student said, wiping away sweat with lingering fear.

"Be content; you're lucky to have survived. Hey, who do you think will come in first place this time?"

At this moment, a male student wearing an expensive combat suit shouted smugly, "Needless to say? Of course it's our class's genius beast tamer, Chen Yiming! He just told me personally that he performed exceptionally well this time, earning a whopping 6000 points! This score is probably the highest record in our academy in the last ten years, right?"

Those around gasped in amazement upon hearing this.

"6000 points? My God, how many second-tier beasts would that take to kill!"

"As expected of Young Master Chen, this first place is a sure thing."

Just then, someone with sharp eyes spotted Su Qianxue walking out carrying the little black cat. Although her clothes were somewhat disheveled, her expression was unusually calm.

"Hey, isn't this the beautiful Su who contracted the tabby cat?" The male classmate chuckled sarcastically. "Su Qianxue, you don't have a single wound on your body. Did you hide at the entrance of the secret realm for five hours? Come on, share with everyone, how many points did you get? Did you get 50?"

"50 points? You're giving her way too much credit." Another girl scoffed. "It's a miracle she even survived with a cute little cat. She's probably hiding in some tree hole, trembling with fear, only daring to come out when her time is up."
