Seeing Meng Chao frightening his biological beast and staring at him with interest, the little black cat became angry.

She bared her teeth at Meng Chao and let out a low growl in her throat.

Meng Chao's smile froze, but the interest deep in his eyes became even brighter.

The little black cat seems to be his..."same kind"?

After returning from the end of the world, he had never smelled such strong, sharp, and unabashed murderous intent in anyone of his age.

Even children from wealthy families like Luo Hai, Sun Ya, and Xie Feng, who come from a cultivating family, can generate 100 or even 200 crystals of spiritual power no matter how many main veins they have penetrated and how many skills they have cultivated.

In Meng Chao's eyes, they are still flowers in a greenhouse and have never experienced a real storm.

This little black cat is different.

She had an almost death smell condensed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

This smell instantly transformed her from a little black cat into an extremely dangerous black cheetah.

Even the eyes changed from deep black to turquoise, like two highly condensed phosphorus fires.

Meng Chao has no doubt that if the two of them fight, it will definitely not be a boring battle between freshmen for a few monster coins, with an arena, rules, and a bottom line.

Instead, he does everything he can, using everything around him and even his own life to perform a gorgeous dance between life and death.

"Looking at her appearance, she shouldn't be a senior senior, right?"

Meng Chao was greatly surprised, "It's not like the beast control department has no talent when it comes to 'Xiao Nian', so how come there is such a new student!"

After the other party sensed his "interest", he was also slightly startled, and his cheeks, eyes and canine teeth all glowed with hunger.

Their eyes collided slightly, and they glanced around at the same time.

They invariably scanned the distribution of every tree and branch in the grove, measuring the toughness of the branches of different trees, how much elasticity they could provide, and how many attack routes they could find with the help of elasticity.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Sparks were flying in the eyes of the two of them, and countless offensive and defensive strategies were being formed.

The mysterious and complex spiritual patterns all over Meng Chao's body were faintly visible. Although they were covered by the long-sleeved school uniform, they could not hide the snarling spiritual flames.

The mysterious girl from the beast control department squatted down deeply and let out a low growl from the depths of her throat.

The ghostly biochemical beast appeared from behind her, one person and one beast, as if they merged into a brand new monster. Four balls of green phosphorus fire almost burned through Meng Chao's throat and heart.

A gentle breeze blew through the woods.

The branches rustled.

Around the two of them, there were several branches that were frozen, as if they were tightly controlled by two mysterious forces.

"Pop!"

After a stalemate for several seconds, the branches selected by both of them broke apart one after another, causing them to lose their foothold to attack first.

"Witch Dance!"

At this moment, shouts came from outside the woods.

The mysterious girl frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with an exciting game being interrupted.

But she still hummed softly and transformed from a black panther back to a little black cat.

He stared deeply at Meng Chao, licked his sharp canine teeth, twitched his nose, and sniffed carefully for a long time, as if to remember Meng Chao's taste.

The little black cat took the biochemical beast with it, jumped out of the woods after a few ups and downs.

"Hey, don't leave. You are also a freshman? Add a friend and let's learn from each other when we have a chance!" Meng Chao climbed to the top of the tree and shouted.

The little black cat has disappeared.

…

On the way from the Martial Arts Department back to the Beast Control Department.

The little black cat sat cross-legged on the back of the biochemical beast, holding his chin in his hands, thinking deeply.

The other freshmen of the beast control department were at least three to five meters away from her, looking both adoring and frightened.

"Wu Wu, where did you run just now?"

An instructor of the beast control department with white beard and hair and an animal bone collar around his neck said, "The martial arts department is someone else's territory. Don't run around there. Especially today, when you performed so amazingly, you can easily cause trouble."

The little black cat named "Wu Wu" nodded absently. After a while, he gestured and said: "There is someone who smells very good."

Her voice is hoarse, her speech is very slow, and she is a bit stumbling, and she is used to using gestures to express her meaning.

"Smells very good?" The instructor was slightly startled.

"Well, it smells good, and it must be delicious."

Wu Wu narrowed his eyes, swallowed, showed his sharp teeth again, and smiled, "I want to eat him."

…

Delayed by the little black cat, when Meng Chao rushed to the training center, the freshman department competition was already over.

He wanted to sneak in through the back door, but happened to encounter a few students from the martial arts department coming out sighing.

"Lost?"

Meng Chao scratched his head, "Didn't it mean that the beast control department has few talents this year, but the martial arts department has a great chance of winning, and even if the competition is lost, everyone's mood is not quite right?"

In the past, in departmental competitions, if you won, you would naturally be happy, but if you lost, you would be eager to fight, and you would be unconvinced.

To put it harshly, it’s not like I’ve never lost in the martial arts department. Let’s come back next time!

But today, what he saw on the faces of his classmates was not only "frustration", but also... "fear".

Yes, it was fear, as if something appalling had happened, causing everyone's emotions to collapse.

At this time, Meng Chao saw Duan Lian, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and one arm still immobilized, walking out in despair.

Duan Lian also saw Meng Chao, but only glared at him fiercely and walked over without saying a word.

"Duan Lian is... his mentality has been shattered?"

Meng Chao scratched his head, "Ever since the freshman test made him suffer the consequences, he has been clamoring to settle accounts with me. I met him in the cafeteria a few days ago, and he said he would compete with me after the department competition. I met him today.

, I don’t even dare to say harsh words, this is such a miserable loss.

"It shouldn't be. After all, he is the 'Four Heavenly Kings'. Although he did not choose a gold medal mentor, he relied on family resources to practice very hard during this period. He went crazy and was as violent as a sword and halberd demon pig who has been single for twenty years.

, even if you lose, there is no reason to be so... a complete defeat?"

Meng Chao thought for a moment, then went against the current and walked into the training center.

The auditorium was empty, and most of the people had left.

Sun Ya and Xie Feng sat blankly at the edge of the ring. The two most outstanding newcomers in the martial arts department both looked pale and distraught, exactly like Duan Lian.

Jiang Rui, who is known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" with the best speed and leg skills, had his legs bloody and was receiving treatment in the corner.

The bloodstains on the ring, as well as the shocking claw marks, told the fierceness of the competition just now.

"Gryphon" Li Yingzi stood in the center of the ring, carefully observing the traces of the battle and thinking about unsolvable problems.

When she saw Meng Chao, she frowned and said in a deep voice: "Classmate Meng Chao, you finally showed up. Logically speaking, I am not your exclusive tutor, so there is no need to tell you too much, but..."

"Wait a minute, Teacher Li, I have something very important to say to you!"

Before Li Yingzi scolded her, Meng Chao winked, led her to a deserted corner, and whispered, "Do you know why I am late for such an important day? Project 1024 has achieved initial success. We have found a branch of cultivation."

method!"

Li Yingzi's pupils suddenly shrank, and she asked in disbelief: "What, please explain clearly!"

"Oh, it doesn't matter if the project is successful, branch lineage training, etc. The point is, in order to celebrate the breakthrough of the project, Teacher Gu got very drunk, grabbed me like crazy, and talked about what he knew to be true for several hours.

You can't even stop me with words!" Meng Chao said seriously.

Li Yingzi was stunned: "What on earth are you going to say? What does his intimate words have to do with me?"

"It's all about you," Teacher Gu said with tears. In fact, his love for you has never changed over the past ten years and has grown day by day."

Meng Chao took a deep breath, and before the other party could interrupt, he said rapidly, "It's just that he knows that on the 1024 project, your ideas are completely opposite, and no one can convince the other, and as a man, he must bear the burden of

The brother's legacy will be carried out silently.

"He can only seal this love as hot as magma in the dormant volcano deep in his chest, hoping that one day, he can make a name for himself and burst out in a dignified way!"

Li Yingzi was stunned: "But -"

"But why hasn't he said anything? Instead he's been smiling and being heartless all day long, right? Because he's very conflicted!"

Meng Chao said anxiously, "On the one hand, Teacher Gu certainly wants to renew our relationship with you, but on the other hand, he has been secretly conducting extremely dangerous experiments with extremely strong side effects. He might die one day."

Damn it, he felt that he couldn’t bring you happiness with such a precarious situation and an uncertain future, so he gave up!"

"What!"

Li Yingzi was anxious, "Didn't your project just restart?"

"It didn't take long for the full restart, but for the past five or six years, he had been studying alone. It was very painful, hard, and suffered a lot of grievances."

Meng Chao said, "Teacher Gu said that every time he steps on the cultivation equipment, he doesn't know whether he will survive. How dare he tell you and make you so scared that you can't sleep at night?"

"He also said that the person he was most sorry for in his life was Teacher Li, and every time he endured pain that was worse than death during experimental practice, the only thing that flashed before his eyes was your appearance.

"He also said that before the 1024 project failed, his life belonged to the project. After it succeeds, his life will completely belong to you."

"This bastard..."

Li Yingzi's face was as red as a burning cloud, and she gritted her teeth: "You are doing such a thing behind my back, and you are telling me?"

"Yeah, I'm embarrassed too. Teacher Gu is too cowardly. I should tell you these things in person. What's going on with me?"

Meng Chao said, "However, if you think about it carefully, he probably attaches too much importance to your relationship. He deliberately used drunkenness to cover it up and relayed it through me. In this way, even if you get angry or ignore it, he still has room for change.

"Mr. Li, from my standpoint, of course I am not qualified to say anything, but our teacher Gu is really pitiful. Otherwise, why don't you take some time to visit him?"

Li Yingzi took a deep breath: "Is he still drunk?"

"He's getting a little better, but I guess his courage has also shrunk. I'm not telling you, he is really cowardly sometimes. He won't speak his mind unless he is tortured."

Meng Chao said, "But I guarantee that what I just said is true. If you don't believe me, just take off his clothes and look at the scars all over his body. You will know how much pain he has suffered silently over the years, especially the fatal wound."

Hurt, oops..."

Li Yingzi raised her eyebrows and grabbed Meng Chao's wrist hard, her voice trembling: "What fatal injury?"

"It's the fatal wound on the buttocks. It seems that electric current was used to stimulate the coccyx, hoping to penetrate the 188 branches around the spine. The current was too strong and injured the spine. I don't know the details, and it's impossible for Teacher Gu to let it go.

Let me take a closer look at his butt!"

Meng Chao spread his hands and said, "Every time I ask him to see a doctor for a good look, he does it perfunctory. What am I most afraid of now? Do you know that I am most afraid that the project will not succeed? He has been persisting with his perseverance and unyielding willpower.

My nerves were tense, and now I finally see the light of day. Once my nerves relax, suddenly, a fatal injury will occur on my tailbone, and it’s over!”

"...That's enough. Just stay here and I'll go out for a while." Li Yingzi turned around and left.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Li."

Meng Chao thought for a moment and then added, "I know there are a lot of rumors in the school, saying that Teacher Gu is out drinking and having affairs with many female entrepreneurs.

"Let me explain this to him. He went to those female entrepreneurs just to get sponsorship for the 1024 project.

"Of course, I can't guarantee whether they have carried out some colorful entertainment activities in order to attract sponsorship.

"But speaking from my personal experience, before I find the correct formula and method, branch channel cultivation is very painful and difficult. The feeling of violent spiritual energy forcefully thrust into the branch channel is like a stick as thick as a fist.

It's the same as punching it into the nostril, and every time it hurts, I feel exhausted.

"Even though I am a young man who has just turned eighteen and is full of energy, every time I finish practicing the branches, my fingers become limp and I pee on my shoes.

"so……"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yingzi glared at him fiercely, like a menacing female griffon, flapping its wings and walking fast.

Watching her disappear outside the door, Meng Chao had a happy smile on his face.

"Brother Bo, the people of Longcheng can only help you so far. From now on, it's up to you!"
