thing wasn’t quite right.

The second match was about to start when his subordinates headed their way to look for Donald and the conversation was forced to break off.

Before he left the farm, Ning Chu looked at the Cloud-Winged Dragon in its cage, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

 

The second match was still won by Ning Chu, and together with the next two days, he had fought 7 matches without a single defeat since he joined the arena.
Because his challengers were all ranked below 20, Ning Chu hadn’t gained many points, and was currently only ranked 39th.

But the students had been talking about who would win if this mysterious newcomer and Wuuth were to face each other.

Wuuth had always been the undefeated god of the arena, and although Ning Chu had less than ten matches under his belt, he beat his opponents too quickly and easily and as if he wasn’t really exerting his strength, almost like a second Wuuth.

So everyone was waiting to see if Ning Chu would challenge Wuuth, who was at the top of the rankings.

And it so happened that Wuuth came back at this time.

In the principal’s office, the teacher finished reporting the results of the outing to the exchange and took Wuuth away.

In the hallway, Wuuth asked, “What happened to Enigma Forest?”

The teacher was flipping through the school’s recent logs and said, “I heard that some humans broke in and angered the fire dragon there…”

Wuuth thought, Impossible.

There were many dragons in Enigma Forest, and even if the Scarlet Flame Dragon had no sense of propriety, it wouldn’t set fire to the forest.
He wanted to take a look at Enigma Forest and look for Scarlet Flame Dragon’s trail.

Wuuth quickened his pace, and his teacher pounded the ground with his magic staff behind him, “Stop right there! You can’t go to the forest because it’s blocked off by the church,” the teacher said, guessing what he wanted to do, and rambled on, “What’s there to see if you always like to go to these events? Go back and study for your homework!”

Wuuth frowned and turned his head in another direction, “I’m going to Crow Market.”

He had to find Scarlet Flame Dragon and ask about the situation, Crow Market had the most people coming and going, so he might be able to get some information.
When he arrived at Crow Market, the first thing Wuuth heard was the news about the newcomer in the arena.

Seeing Wuuth appear, a brave student had the courage to ask him, “Wuuth, did the newcomer send you a challenge?”

Wuuth wasn’t interested and didn’t look away, “No.”

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd and someone said, “Who’s the new guy? Does anyone know?”

“He’s not even showing his face…” Another person shook his head, “I asked several seniors, they all said they didn’t know this Ning person…”

Wuuth turned around with a beat in his step, “What’s his name?”

 

The news of Wuuth’s return was also heard by Ning Chu from Bowen’s mouth.
Bowen was a big fan of Wuuth’s and kept mentioning him to Ning Chu during theory classes, speculating whether he would face “Ning” in the arena and who would win.

Ning Chu nodded as he listened and seemingly agreed with Bowen, “Then Wuuth definitely has a better chance of winning.”

What he was thinking was that he wouldn’t challenge Wuuth, and Wuuth probably wouldn’t challenge him either.

On the one hand, he didn’t know Wuuth’s true strength, and on the other hand, it was because of Wuuth’s dragon.
Even if others didn’t know it, it was indeed a real dragon, and Ning Chu didn’t want to go up against a Dwarf Dragon in the arena.

That afternoon, however, Ning Chu received a matchup letter from the arena.
The two people who were randomly selected to participate in the matchup this evening were him and Wuuth.

Ning Chu first found Donald, his expression was incomprehensible, “Did you do that on purpose?”

Donald’s face was innocent, “How could you think that? The selection is completely random, this is the will of the gods, no one can manipulate… Do you want to abstain?”

Ning Chu really had this intention, and he said helplessly, “I’ll think about it.”

He went back to the dormitory, but Bowen wasn’t there.

Third Cub was lying on the box under the bed with the dragon egg.
Ning Chu took him out and rubbed his head, “San San, I’m so nervous.”

Third Cub let out an “aowu” and pressed his chin with his paw.

“I’m going to fight a very powerful man,” Ning Chu said bitterly, “and I’m afraid I’ll lose.”

He had a strange instinct that Wuuth was different from all the other students.

“Aowu—”

There was no way he was going to lose!

Ning Chu squeezed the dragon horn in his hand tangibly, when Third Cub in his arms suddenly lifted his head and broke free of his hand to scurry under the bed.
There was only one thing under the bed that would make him care this much, and that was the dragon egg.

“What’s wrong?” Ning Chu pulled the box out and opened it, the dragon egg inside lay peacefully, the pattern on the egg shell was much brighter than before.

Third Cub was lying on the side of the box, staring at the egg, and Ning Chu couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Ning Chu gently picked up the dragon egg and looked at it carefully, when the egg seemed to move in his hand.

Ning Chu, “!!!”

He wasn’t sure if it was his illusion, but he repositioned the dragon egg on the hay, watching it with unblinking eyes.

One man and one dragon watched the dragon egg with bated breath for a long time, but the dragon egg was peaceful and quiet, without the slightest difference.

Ning Chu opened the game data card, but the status of Fifth Cub was still “hatching”.

He was slightly disappointed and picked up Third Cub, “We’ll have to wait a little longer.”

But if the dragon egg really moved just now, it proved that Fifth Cub was about to hatch.

After the shell was broken, he had to prepare sufficient food, vitamins, supplements, etc… He not only needed money for raising the dragon cub, the Cloud-Winged Dragon at the taming farm was still waiting for him to buy it.

The odds must be very high for him to win tonight’s battle with Wuuth… 

Ning Chu made up his mind, looked up at the magic clock on the wall and rubbed Third Cub’s little head again, “I’m going out, wait for my good news.”

The news of the newcomer’s battle with Wuuth spread and the Crow Market was packed to the rafters today.
Ning Chu struggled to make it to the round table and paid 30 purple gold coins for his win.

Afterwards, he went backstage to the arena’s inner room.
Donald was waiting for him and was not surprised to see him appear.
He handed Ning Chu’s clothes and mask to him and patted him on the shoulder, “Good luck.”

Ning Chu changed his clothes and took a deep breath.
He turned up all the game’s values by a few points, and carried a few walnuts in his coat pocket.

Facing the Dwarf Dragon, Ning Chu wasn’t completely sure, but he might be able to use these to distract it.

With everything ready, Ning Chu entered with his shield.

Outside the arena, the crowd outside the viewing platform was still very lively, and the cheers were louder than ever.
To Ning Chu’s surprise, Wuuth entered the arena before him and was looking at him from across the fighting ring.

Wuuth never wore a school uniform, always dressed in black with a cold expression, and there was no dragon beside him, probably because it hadn’t been released yet.

Ning Chu was looking at Wuuth as Wuuth was also looking at him.
The man in the distance was wrapped up tightly, thin in build, and wearing a mask that looked a bit bulky.

Could it be him?

The staff asked the two men to shake hands and bow, and Ning Chu had just taken a step when Wuuth said, “Let’s get right to it.”

Ning Chu was stunned and nodded in agreement.

After the staff retreated, Ning Chu was ready to fight with all his might.
He raised his shield in front of him with his left hand, and a flame rose from his right palm.

Wuuth was staring at the flame in Ning Chu’s hand, but he didn’t move and didn’t release his contracted beast.

While Ning Chu was wondering, he suddenly heard Wuuth say, “I admit defeat.”

The room suddenly burst into a frenzy, and Ning Chu was confused.

What did he just say? Did he admit defeat?
