229: A mountain of bones, the Imperial Capital Academy ranks first!
“The competition venue isn't close from here.”
Fang Ran looked towards Yu City.
Xiao Nian was currently rushing with Azure Moon Wolf and Xu Yue.
“Xiao Tian, take me back.”
“Alright, I'll hold onto you.”
Xiao Tian extended her hand, grabbed Fang Ran's belt, and a pair of snow-white wings grew from her back, dazzling brightly under the sunlight.
“Isn't this a bit… inappropriate? How about you carry me on your back instead?”
Fang Ran didn't want to be carried like a small chick in front of everyone.
“I'm tired, let's just do it this way.” Xiao Tian looked exhausted, then dragged Fang Ran straight into the sky!
Fortunately, the competition venue wasn't far from where Fang Ran returned.
Just a few minutes later, the two appeared above the area outside the arena.
“Look, isn't that Fang Ran's Beast Tamer?”
“It seems so, and she's dragging someone. Isn't that Fang?”
Listening to the confused voices of the crowd,
the Beast Tamers from Imperial Capital Academy also reacted.
“It really is Fang Ran, being dragged back by Xiao Tian?” Tie Jiuxin saw this scene.
For some reason, he just felt a sense of inexplicable relief.
His previously shattered worldview was gradually mending at this moment.
“It's no use even if he's back. We can only participate in the loser's bracket.”
“Let's go back and discuss tactics. We absolutely cannot let Fang Ran be so reckless next time!”
“Exactly, as a team, discipline is the most important. We must establish a primary leader.”
Zhang Er and Zhang Li were discussing with each other.
Bai Lingshuang also nodded silently.
The few of them didn't mean to target Fang Ran; they were merely discussing the matter at hand.
Although he brought the greatest benefits to everyone, he was also the direct culprit that led to Imperial Capital's defeat.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Tian landed in front of everyone.
Her wings retracted, and she placed Fang Ran on the ground.
“Cough, cough, I'm back.”
Fang Ran coughed twice.
His expression seemed a bit awkward.
“This Imperial Capital contestant has been waiting for you for a long time. In one more minute, you will be eliminated.”
“How many sea beast scales do you have? And fierce beast skeletons?”
The person responsible for recording scores looked at Fang Ran and asked.
Everyone's gaze gathered.
Including Fire Dragon Academy, and the Beast Tamers from the other two Five Great Academies.
“Fang Ran, you've been gone for so long, you can't have done nothing, right?” Jiang Xu frowned.
The few from Imperial Capital Academy had the same thought.
“I don't have any sea beast scales, but I have fierce beast skeletons that can represent points.”
Fang Ran said.
“The value of fierce beast skeletons is only 1/5 of sea beast scales.”
The person responsible for recording scores said.
Seemingly reminding Fang Ran.
Killing 5 fierce beasts only equals one sea beast; there's no way the points could be enough.
“So that's how it is... Then I should barely have enough.”
Fang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he snapped his fingers.
The next instant, a spatial rift opened, and a massive amount of fierce beast skeletons fell from the sky like trash dumped from a garbage truck!
“Clatter, clatter!!!”
The fierce beast skeletons from the Beast Taming Space seemed endless.
It wasn't until nearly 5 minutes later that they finally stopped!
Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, the fierce beast skeletons on the ground had accumulated into a small mountain, four or five stories high!
“This... these are the fierce beasts you killed in the middle of the competition?”
The person was dumbfounded.
What kind of joke is this?
Even if you are the Emperor Beast Master's biological son, if you want me to give you preferential treatment, you have to at least make it look more convincing!
So many fierce beast skeletons, and they're so clean, without any flesh and blood. If I didn't know better, I'd think you got them from a specimen shop!
Most importantly, with such a large quantity, did you kill all the fierce beasts in the entire city?
And his thoughts,
were precisely the thoughts of everyone around him.
“You all count first; I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving.”
Fang Ran didn't bother with the crowd anymore.
Instead, he left the place in a hurry.
“I need to go to the hospital to check on Azure Moon Wolf's condition.”
After all, he was the one who asked Xu Yue to handle the surrounding fierce beasts. Moreover, Fang Ran also needed to report what he saw.
Seeing Fang Ran leave,
someone stepped forward.
They picked up a piece of skeleton and meticulously scanned and observed it with equipment.
“Nine-nine new, these are fierce beasts that were just killed!”
The person exclaimed in surprise.
The third-place academy's heart immediately sank.
If this was counted as points, it would definitely be enough to send them into the loser's bracket!
“Could it be that Fang Ran went somewhere else to hunt?”
“His signal did disappear for a while, but it's not easy to leave here in a short time, and besides, this area is an open plain. Where would he hunt these fierce beasts?”
“Exactly, among these skeletons, there are quite a few Transcendent Grade ones!”
The shock on everyone's faces deepened.
The audience in the live stream also realized it.
This would most likely still be counted as points!
And after half an hour of tabulation, Imperial Capital's score indeed soared past second place, directly reaching first place in the third competition zone!
This astonishing reversal instantly ignited the bullet comments in the live stream!
“Awesome, Fang secretly went to level up by himself?”
“It's unavoidable. The teammates are too useless; without Fang, this team would fall apart.”
“I think there's no need to play the rest of the matches; just announce it directly?”
Tie Jiuxin and Bai Lingshuang, who were still unaware of the situation,
couldn't close their mouths at this moment.
While feeling excited and thrilled, they also regretted doubting Fang Ran.
“Amazing, this way, we won't be embarrassed.”
“First place! This is my first time getting first place!” Zhang Er was greatly excited.
Although it was a team competition, it was still first place!
“Fang Ran...” Bai Lingshuang also had a smile on her face.
However, they were even more curious about where Fang Ran had gone, as there had been no news of him at all?
And at this moment,
at Imperial Capital Academy,
the members of the Supervisor Bureau watching the competition were dumbfounded.
“Send someone to ask that kid Fang Ran where he's been all this time?” Kui Nanlu said word by word.
Being slapped in the face felt very unpleasant.
Meanwhile, Yue Baojun's arm trembled slightly beside her, trying his best to suppress his excitement.
“Deputy Chairman, with Fang Ran's qualifications, he's eligible for better resources, isn't he? I want to apply for a Black Gold Armor for him!”
Hearing Yue Baojun's words,
the man in front of him paused, then waved his hand.
“This matter can only be decided after we know where he went!”
“Alright!” Yue Baojun relaxed.
The Deputy Chairman didn't refuse, so it was highly likely to happen!
And at this very moment, in Yu City,
Fang Ran passed through the city.
In just over ten minutes, he arrived at the Beast Tamer Hospital in the heart of Yu City.
A place dedicated to healing injured pet beasts, covering a vast area, it was like an enlarged human hospital, with huge skyscrapers towering all around!
“I'm looking for Xu Yue, which consultation room is she in?”
Fang Ran asked the reception desk's guiding doctor.
The girl, who was secretly watching the competition,
looked up and saw Fang Ran, immediately revealing a look of surprise.
“You... Xu Yue is in the medium-sized pet beast recovery area, Room No. 13!”
