Chapter 165: The Silver-Quality Baby Griffin
Chapter 165: The Silver-Quality Baby Griffin
Zhang Wentao's suggestion was met with unanimous approval from Zhu Qing and Xu Tian.
After all, that person was right there.
If he were to take action, there wouldn't be much left for them to do.
So, it was better to let the students handle it!
They still had a chance!
The young man on the dragon's back didn't have much to say, or rather, he never intended to get involved in the first place.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Li Wu, staring intently at him.
This made Li Wu feel rather uncomfortable.
Even though he was used to being stared at by girls because of his average looks, it was the first time a man was looking at him this way.
"Could this guy be...?" Li Wu was a bit flustered and quickly hid behind Zhao Kaiming.
The young man on the dragon, noticing this, slightly embarrassed, rubbed his nose. "Well, since everyone agrees, let's do it this way. We'll find that little guy first and then decide."
The others had no objections to the young man's suggestion.
A group of about ten influential figures sprang into action once again.
A dozen or so Lord-level or even higher-level flying Summoned Beasts flew straight towards the swarm of Summoned Beasts led by the Little Goldfish.
In no time, the Little Goldfish's swarm was surrounded.
The sudden appearance of these powerful figures startled the swarm of Summoned Beasts and the Little Goldfish itself.
Where did all these formidable creatures come from?
Immediately after, in the sky, a giant tiger with a commanding presence let out a roar, causing the swarm of Summoned Beasts in the sea to scatter like water droplets in a hot oil pan.
Many Summoned Beasts were so frightened that they fled in large numbers.
In an instant, the swarm that the Little Goldfish had painstakingly gathered over the past half a month was reduced to just a dozen or so loyal minions still following it.
The Little Goldfish was stunned!
It took a while for it to realize what had happened, and tears of grievance welled up in its eyes.
It had sensed the approach of its family's troublemaker from the very beginning.
It thought that its family had finally noticed it and was coming to bring it home, and it was so touched that it had decided to go easy on Li Wu when it was its turn to attack.
But when the troublemaker's group arrived, they scared away most of its minions.
Only then did it realize that they hadn't come to rescue it but to bully it.
The Little Goldfish was furious, and it was a good thing it couldn't speak, or it would have been cursing by now!
Although it couldn't speak, it could spit water, and it aimed a stream of water at Li Wu's direction.
Li Wu, though he hadn't seen the Little Goldfish's attributes yet, could sense its grievance and dissatisfaction through the contract, making him feel extremely awkward.
He really didn't mean to cause this.
Meanwhile, Zhao Kaiming, standing nearby, also concluded that this Little Goldfish was likely the one left for Li Wu by that person.
At the same time, the influential figures around them had also locked onto the Little Goldfish.
"It's this Little Goldfish. With its minions following its lead and its immunity to the Lord's presence, it's undoubtedly this Little Goldfish, and its quality is at least of King Bloodline."
"This Little Goldfish looks a bit silly, constantly spitting water at us. Does it think it can kill us with a single spray?"
"It's just a newborn, how smart can it be?"
"Since we've found it, let's not waste time. Let's set the rules."
The students brought by these influential figures were eager, rubbing their fists in anticipation of capturing this legendary Little Goldfish.
"To capture this type of Summoned Beast, there's only one way besides gaining its respect, and that's to defeat it.
It's simple. Let our people fight it, and whoever defeats and tames it will be its master!"
"That's right, but who should go first?
We can't decide by drawing lots!"
"Let's determine the order based on Summoned Beast strength!"
Zhang Wentao glanced at Li Wu behind him. "To capture it by defeating it, the weaker ones will be at a disadvantage. So, I suggest that the one with the weakest Summoned Beast should go first."
Zhang Wentao surveyed the Summoned Beasts present and found none weaker than Li Wu's Little Skeleton.
The issue was that Li Wu didn't dare to go first!
He could already sense the Little Goldfish's anger and power through the contract, and he felt that the Little Skeleton would be overwhelmed if he sent it out now.
Of course, Li Wu was being overly cautious.
The Little Goldfish had no intention of attacking the Little Skeleton; it wanted to target Li Wu. The Little Skeleton wouldn't be in any danger.
But Li Wu was unaware of this, so he thought it best to let others take the first blows. Once the Little Goldfish calmed down and exhausted some energy, then he would send his Summoned Beast.
After all, the Little Goldfish was his, and they had already signed a contract. Even if someone defeated it, it would still be his.
Moreover, he had already sensed the Little Goldfish's formidable strength, which he estimated no one present could match.
So, he hoped others would take the beating for him!
In this regard, the three outsiders fulfilled his wish.
To be precise, Xu Tian from Shanghai and Zhu Qing from Jiangning had their wishes fulfilled.
As soon as Zhang Wentao finished speaking, Zhu Qing was the first to speak up, "Principal Zhang's suggestion is reasonable. Let's separate the high school and college students, draw lots separately, and let the high school students go first, followed by the college students."
Xu Tian, standing beside him, added, "This is a rare opportunity, and we should give more chances to the youth. If you all agree with this arrangement, Shanghai can offer three additional exchange student slots."
Upon hearing this, the people from Jiangnan's eyes lit up.
After some negotiation, Shanghai, Beijing, and Jiangning secured 20 exchange student slots in exchange for Jiangnan's compromise.
Jiangnan agreed to let the high school students go first, which essentially meant they were giving priority to the other three parties.
After all, there were only 10 high school students present, and after Lu Wu, the rest were all from the other three parties.
This made Zhang Wentao so angry he felt like spitting blood.
What made Zhang Wentao even more desperate was the decision to let the high school students go first.
The young man who went first froze the area near the Little Goldfish and its dozen summoned beasts, temporarily restricting the Little Goldfish's movements. Then, the ten high school students were called to draw lots.
The order of the draw was determined, and the result was Lu Wu drawing the 9th position!
It was a 1, 6, 9, 1, 0, and 2 version!
He was the ninth out of ten, and his luck was not ordinary.
Zhang Wentao was worried that Lu Wu might miss this opportunity. After all, the three foreign teams were very strong, and if Lu Wu went after them, he might not get a chance.
However, Lu Wu and Zhao Kaiming didn't share this concern.
Lu Wu even felt that the 9th position wasn't too bad, and he wasn't sure if the previous eight could wear down the Little Goldfish.
If they couldn't, the Little Skeleton might have to face it head-on.
The thought of the Little Skeleton possibly being swatted by the Little Goldfish's tail filled Lu Wu with a sense of melancholy.
Lu Wu's sighs and laments caught the attention of Fang Bai, who was standing beside him. Fang Bai glanced at the number in Lu Wu's hand and couldn't help but smirk, "It seems your luck isn't that great!"
Lu Wu looked at the number 002 in his hand and scoffed, "Even if you have good luck, it doesn't mean you can tame it!"
Fang Bai responded with a dismissive look.
It was evident that this guy had great confidence in himself, and he even believed that the Little Goldfish was already within his grasp.
In Fang Bai's eyes, only two people could compete with him at the scene.
One was Wang Jun, the captain of Team 044, and the other was Zhao Kaiming, the captain of Team 066. One drew number 10, even more unlucky than Lu Wu, and the other drew number 3, right after him.
As Lu Wu and Fang Bai were talking, the Little Goldfish's restrictions were lifted. The summoner who drew number 001 had already approached the Little Goldfish.
But just as this summoner set up a stance, they were blasted away by a furious water arrow from the Little Goldfish.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wentao's face lit up with joy, "Number 1 fails, Number 2, go!"
Hearing this, Fang Bai casually straightened his clothes and said to Lu Wu with a nonchalant tone, "You can prepare to leave now."
Then, he walked towards the Little Goldfish with his summoned beast, exuding an aura of domineering genius with every step. It was as if the Little Goldfish was already his for the taking.
His confidence stemmed from the summoned beast by his side.
During this time, Lu Wu also noticed the attributes of his summoned beast.

...
This young griffin was the source of Fang Bai's confidence.
He had already realized that the Little Goldfish's strength was only at the elite level.
...
What use is a higher quality then?
His griffin was definitely capable of defeating it!
The powerful summoned beast gave him absolute confidence.
So, when his young griffin stood before the Little Goldfish, this guy didn't attack first but started showing off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies, but I claim this Little Goldfish for myself!"
After speaking with an air of dominance, Fang Bai waved his hand, and the young griffin activated its Bloodline Power, boosting its strength to boss-level.
Then, this little guy charged towards the Little Goldfish with exceptional bravery and vigor.
Next, um, next, the young griffin was sent flying backward...
