High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Abyss Camp.

Xuan Nu Hao.

Inside the captain's cabin.

On the light screen projection, the footage of Lu Yu's second battle was being replayed frame by frame.

"how?"

"Do you still consider yourself his match now?"

The red-haired, wavy-haired female captain lazily stretched out her legs, leaned back, and asked with a smile.

Opposite to her.

Shangguan Xiaoyue's delicate and pretty face was slightly tense.

to be honest……

Originally, she was simply following the captain's orders to approach Lu Yu.

As for Lu Yu's strength, she never really took it to heart.

Even in yesterday's opening match, Lu Yu defeated the ninth-level Sikong Ming and even managed to scare away the king-level referee.

At most, it only made Shangguan Xiaoyue take him a little more seriously.

Can……

In today's battle, Shangguan Xiaoyue could no longer remain calm!

"I have no idea……"

"You'll only know after you've tried it."

Shangguan Xiaoyue remained silent for a long time before finally pursing her lips and uttering this sentence.

"Hahaha--"

The red-haired female captain laughed upon hearing this.

"It seems that our assistant Xiaoyue isn't very confident either."

As she spoke, the female captain shook her head again, her tone slightly regretful:

"If I could, I'd really like to see the two of you fight."

"only--"

"That old man in your Shangguan family is so old-fashioned. He insists on believing in the family dogma of 'concealing one's talents' and won't let you participate in this year's college entrance examination."

"otherwise--"

"With your peak King-level cultivation, looking at this younger generation, you can't find any opponents other than Lu Yu."

Yes!

Shangguan Xiaoyue is the same age as Lu Yu, only nineteen years old, and has just awakened her powers a year ago!

Such talent and skill, if it were to spread, would absolutely shock countless people!

"Why--"

"That old geezer, he's so mysterious, let's not talk about him."

The female captain spoke for a long time, but in the end, it all turned into a sigh of regret for missing out on a good show.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiaoyue moved her lips, but still didn't say anything.

until...

Ding--!

A crisp notification sound suddenly rang out, clearly audible in the spacious captain's cabin.

"Um?"

The female captain's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze fell on Shangguan Xiaoyue.

To be precise, it was the communication bracelet she wore on her right wrist.

"Well--"

"It's a communication from my grandfather..."

Shangguan Xiaoyue was also somewhat stunned at this moment.

"Oh?"

"We were just talking about that old geezer, and now we've got a call?"

"As expected, it can't withstand constant nagging!"

The female captain shook her head and muttered something to herself.

At the same time, under Shangguan Xiaoyue's questioning gaze, he nodded: "Take it, I don't need to be so formal."

"Um."

Shangguan Xiaoyue nodded her chin and reached out to answer the call.

Swah——

A slightly illusory light screen projection appeared in front of her.

"grandfather!"

The image shows an old man dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a feather fan in his hand.

The old man's hair and beard were all white, but strangely, there were no wrinkles on his face; instead, his skin was as white and tender as a baby's.

"Haha, my dear granddaughter."

"Have you gained anything from working with your teacher lately?"

The old man in the picture spoke with a smile.

The voice just fell.

The female captain on the side spoke calmly:

"What's wrong?"

"You brought Xiaoyue to me as your apprentice back then, and now you're worried I'll mistreat her, right?"

"You old geezer, you really are two-faced, always saying one thing to people and doing another behind their backs. You're really annoying."

This statement came out.

The old man in the picture seemed completely unsurprised that the female captain was right next to him; instead, he continued to smile.

"Is Nangong girl here too?"

"Long time no see, how have you been?"

Upon hearing this form of address, the female captain frowned slightly, but only gave a soft hum and did not interrupt.

And Shangguan Xiaoyue finally spoke up:

"Grandpa suddenly called, is there something he wants to tell Xiaoyue?"

In the picture.

The old man, with white hair and a youthful face, stroked his silvery-white beard and spoke with a smile:

"Haha, nothing can be hidden from our little Qilin'er."

"Grandpa really does have something very important to tell you this time!"

This statement came out.

Both the female captain surnamed Nangong and Shangguan Xiaoyue were slightly taken aback, their faces showing a mixture of curiosity and seriousness.

To know.

This old man looks kind and approachable, but in reality...

But he was a true demigod!

Although it is not one of the twelve sequences of the Dark Court, the demigod realm is already the highest level that the human race has reached so far!

The pinnacle of the pyramids is nothing more than this!

Something that a demigod might call "very important" must be something truly extraordinary!

"What is it?"

Shangguan Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask further.

In the video, the old man slowly utters only two words.

"Lu Yu!"

The words fell.

This moment.

The female captain and Shangguan Xiaoyue were both stunned.

But Old Man Shangguan continued speaking unhurriedly:

"Grandpa wasn't planning on letting you take the college entrance exam this year."

"but……"

"For some special reasons, you really have to participate this time."

"Of course, you don't need to actually play any pretend fighting games with those kids."

"You only have one opponent, and that is Lu Yu!"

Speaking of it.

The demigod-level patriarch of the Shangguan family paused slightly, then added:

"However, even with your current peak King-level cultivation, you're probably no match for him."

"I've had some cores of supreme-level behemoths and source crystal resources sent to you."

"You should stay in seclusion these days and cultivate diligently. Once you break through to the Venerable level, we'll arrange for you to fight Lu Yu!"

Swah——

Inside the captain's cabin.

The projected image on the communication wristband disappeared.

But at this moment...

The female captain and Shangguan Xiaoyue looked at each other, and for a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

A good long time passed.

finally.

It was the female captain's mutterings that broke the silence.

"I said something just felt off..."

"So this so-called ranking competition wasn't about letting Lu Yu shine at all, but rather about constantly targeting him!"

Until this moment.

The female captain finally realized what was happening!

Meanwhile, Shangguan Xiaoyue, biting her lip, remained silent for a long time before finally speaking softly:

"My grandfather made this arrangement..."

"Is this not a good idea?"

"Or perhaps I should forgo using those resources to break through to the Venerable level and instead fight Lu Yu at the King level?"

Upon hearing this, the female captain shook her head.

"There's no need for that."

"Just listen to that old geezer and focus on breaking through to the Venerable level."

"This is none of your business, and besides, things run very complicated..."

When it came to the last sentence.

The red-haired female captain, who usually had a carefree attitude towards life, surprisingly showed a hint of ferocity on her face.

She looked up.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked towards the void in the sky outside the Mystic Maiden.

His gaze held a faint chill and killing intent.

"So many years have passed..."

"You still won't let him go?"

"What kind of bullshit Dark Court Sequence...?"

"They're nothing but a bunch of petty thieves!"
