Chapter 936: Chapter 937: Selection Competition Surprise

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

Just then, Captain Yan came out and was surprised to see Feng Yuan, saying, "It’s not like I’m talking nonsense. If this guy participates, we’re going to have a lot of trouble. At the very least, I can be sure that our Special Duty Team has no way to limit his performance."

"Come on, I’m just passing by. You know I’m graduating this year. I’ve got to get some new clothes for the new school, right?"

Feng Yuan replied, somewhat dissatisfied. He wasn’t the type who liked to wreak havoc; why was he always suspected of playing pranks? Captain Yan looked at Feng Yuan curiously and asked,

"Why don’t you just wait and buy them when you get to Shangjing or Shenhua?"

After all, Maomu City’s commercial scene wasn’t as bustling as those two areas, and the latest fashion might not necessarily be available in Maomu City. At least from what Captain Yan knew, students going to colleges in Shangjing or Shenhua liked to arrive on campus early and then shop for new clothes and daily necessities there.

"Why would I go there? I’m not interested in running around these days."

Feng Yuan yawned, saying that there was nothing interesting for him in Shangjing or Shenhua, so why would he bother going there? Captain Yan was taken aback for a moment and then sized up Feng Yuan, asking,

"Don’t tell me you’re not planning on going to colleges in those places?"

"Maomu Academy, I’ve already handled early admission."

Feng Yuan looked at Captain Yan strangely; he should’ve been aware of this, considering he was part of the Special Duty Team and such information should have been available.

"Early admission? What are they up to? It shouldn’t be possible to handle early admissions now."

Captain Yan eyed Feng Yuan suspiciously. Shrugging, Feng Yuan responded,

"I’m not sure about the details, but the paperwork is done. I’m just waiting for the academy’s assessment to end before I officially register."

"I see, they’re..."

Captain Yan looked at Feng Yuan, his expression indescribable. He hadn’t expected the folks at Maomu Academy to dare do such a thing. Pre-admission could cause them trouble if Feng Yuan backed out halfway, as it was a violation of the rules. However, if they could recruit Feng Yuan, it might benefit not only Maomu Academy but also Maomu City considerably.

Because of Feng Yuan, various disorganized organizations and spies had their eyes on Maomu City. But similarly, Great Xia would pay attention to Maomu City and might even give it special consideration at times.

"Then this selection isn’t of much significance to you."

Captain Yan turned towards a nearby staff member and said, since Feng Yuan has early admission, even if he did well here, they wouldn’t dare to admit him specially. The staff member glanced at Captain Yan and said,

"Since he’s not here for the selection, please let him step aside so he doesn’t block others."

"All done!"

Holding his shopping bag, Feng Yuan turned to Agunas and asked,

"Is there anything you want to buy? If not, let’s find Veronia and get ready to head back."

"I don’t really need to... "

Agunas was speaking when suddenly a cheer erupted, and Feng Yuan looked towards the direction of the noise with some confusion. He saw a boy with a Spirit Beast resembling the Dreaming Dragon Baby, only it was red.

"A baby Flood Dragon? And it looks like it’s about to evolve."

Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised but not too out of the ordinary; although baby Flood Dragons were rare, they weren’t unheard of. In fact, there were many more of them than Dreaming Dragon Babies.

"It seems they’re here for the selection, but why... "

Agunas was perplexed about why people were cheering. At that moment, Feng Yuan noticed Pei Yu standing to one side looking a bit dejected, walked over, and asked,

"What’s happened to you?"

"Are you here for the selection?"

Pei Yu looked at Feng Yuan and asked. Feng Yuan shook his head, waved the shopping bag in his hand, and replied,

"No, I’ve already decided to go to Maomu Academy. This selection here means nothing to me. And you shouldn’t be disheartened; failure isn’t the end. Besides, maybe what she’s expecting isn’t for you to stand out, but to be there for her when she needs it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve already passed the selection."

Pei Yu looked at Feng Yuan somewhat speechlessly and observed Pei Yu with surprise, not understanding what he meant.

"What’s with that look?"

"Because we clearly don’t need to take this route, we might not fail even in the normal assessment."

Zhong Liuyan said with some dissatisfaction, aware that this selection for special recruitment was not quite the same as ordinary admissions. After all, it was hosted by the military, and everyone could guess how it would turn out. Seeing that Pei Yu did not speak, Zhong Liuyan said somewhat helplessly,

"Nevermind, if that’s what you wish, I can’t stop you. I just hope you know that many people are hoping you’ll live a safe life."

Beside them, Feng Yuan curled his lips, having nothing to say about it; it was everyone’s own choice, after all. Something came to mind, and Feng Yuan turned to Zhong Liuyan and asked,

"Speaking of which, what was that situation about? Why did people cheer as soon as he arrived?"

"You mean that? He’s a top student from Third Middle School, quite famous. But how come you don’t know?"

Zhong Liuyan looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, scratching his head while Feng Yuan said,

"Isn’t it normal not to know? But even if he’s a celebrity from Third Middle, it seems a bit much, doesn’t it?"

"It’s very normal. After all, this is also a measure of each school’s strength. Our school suddenly getting ahead has naturally made them a bit unhappy."

Zhong Liuyan said as if it wasn’t surprising. Without Drudgeon, they probably wouldn’t have achieved such good results. At least currently, several students have made it into the top ten of the selection. As an established famous school, the students from Third Middle naturally wouldn’t be pleased with this outcome.

Seeing Chen Xin there too, Feng Yuan was a bit surprised, but then thought it normal since she was, after all, one of those with top abilities in their school. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been considered to join Feng Yuan in the Beast Taming competition. However, she probably wouldn’t choose to participate in the military academy selection, since it didn’t match her future plans.

"Hmph, relying on dumb luck won’t get you very far."

Feng Yuan was just about to step forward and greet Chen Xin when he heard someone speak disdainfully to her and the others. Chen Xin stared at him for a while and said with a cold laugh,

"Someone who needs a special selection to enter Great Xia Academy really doesn’t have the right to say that."

"What’s there for you to be proud of? Aren’t you just relying on your own family? Actually, it’s not quite right, if my information is not wrong, it seems you’re in conflict with your family. So, it seems like you’ll have a hard time keeping things as they are..."

"And what about it?"

Bai You looked at him with icy eyes. Clearly, he recognized Bai You and, after a wary glance at Chen Xin and the others, the boy said disdainfully,

"After all, you’re just relying on Drudgeon’s blessing to have your current strength. Dreaming of skyrocketing to the top will likely end with..."

"Save the big talk until you’ve actually passed. Don’t spout nonsense or you might not even make it to the top ten."

Chen Xin said with a cold voice. Giving Chen Xin a glare, the other boy held his head high and said,

"Top ten? My goal is number one, to show you the difference between momentary luck and solid diligence."

"Tch, such confidence."

Feng Yuan said with some disdain. The other boy glanced at Feng Yuan, who was holding Pomiti, with some confusion. Feng Yuan’s Spirit Beast, Pomiti, had no Combat Power. Could it be that his Beast Tamer was the snowball-like Spirit Beast on his shoulder? If so, it wasn’t impossible, as uncommon Spirit Beasts often possessed special abilities.

"You’ll see when the results come out!"

The boy stopped arguing with Chen Xin and her group and headed straight for the registration area. Feng Yuan glanced at the Dreaming Dragon Baby behind the boy. The Dreaming Dragon Baby was obviously close to the evolutionary threshold, and, considering its inherently powerful rarity as a Spirit Beast, it seemed there would be no surprise if the boy secured a top three spot without any hitches.

"So, what do you think? Should we take a shot at him?"

Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile, whispering to Chen Xin. After looking at Feng Yuan, Chen Xin shook her head,

"Let’s not. You don’t like schools with heavy restrictions. If you participate, it might..."

"Hmph, I’m not going to compete, but there are ways."

Feng Yuan’s gaze stealthily shifted towards Agunas. Displeased, Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Don’t even think about it. I’m not going to help you disrupt their normal selection activities!"

"I never said that, but..."

Feng Yuan’s eyes shifted, as if he thought of something. Since he was idle anyway, why not have some fun? That guy had annoyed him, so why not teach him a lesson? With an idea in mind, Feng Yuan didn’t linger and slipped away. Chen Xin looked after the direction Feng Yuan had left in with some curiosity. Though she didn’t interact much with him, Feng Yuan had obviously taken an interest just now. Would he really let it go so easily? She doubted it.
