Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Gu Yuexi Only Killed 2 Demon Beasts? That’s Right, 2 at Rank 2 Mid-Stage

The resentment and jealousy in Zhao Qingtian’s heart were about to boil over.

He had worked so desperately hard just to prove himself, to win everyone’s recognition!

’And in the end, I still don’t get any attention?’

He couldn’t hold back any longer. He summoned his Contracted Beast, the Cyan Armored Wolf, from his Beast Taming Pouch.

“AWOOO!”

A deep roar echoed as an agile and majestic Cyan Armored Wolf appeared before the crowd. A tyrannical aura far exceeding the Peak of First-Grade instantly swept over the area!

The moment this powerful aura erupted, everyone’s gaze snapped toward him in shock.

Was this…

the aura of the Second-Grade Early Stage?!

Zhao Qingtian’s Cyan Armored Wolf… when did it break through to the Second-Grade Early Stage?!

Feeling the stunned gazes from all around, the frustration in Zhao Qingtian’s heart vanished, replaced by a smug look.

He deliberately shot a glance at Zhou Kai beside him, his eyes filled with undisguised provocation.

Zhou Kai’s pupils constricted violently, and for the first time, a look of utter astonishment appeared on his face!

He suddenly remembered that back in the Secret Realm, Zhao Qingtian had left the team alone for over half an hour, claiming he was ’searching for more valuable prey’!

’So that’s what happened… He went to help his Cyan Armored Wolf break through!’

Nearby, Li Yueyao was deeply shaken. The bit of pride she’d felt from her score of 81 had now completely evaporated.

She bit her lip hard, her heart filled with defeat and resentment.

Whether in terms of score or Contracted Beast, she had been left far behind by Zhao Qingtian!

“Hmm? Second-Grade Early Stage?”

Zhang Chengye and Lin Zhennan were also taken aback, casting surprised looks at Zhao Qingtian for the first time.

Eighteen years old, with a Contracted Beast at the Second-Grade Early Stage!

Such talent would be considered outstanding even in the provincial capital, Du Nan City!

“Not bad! Zhao Qingtian, is it? You’re very impressive!”

A trace of approval finally appeared on Lin Zhennan’s face. He paused, then added a serious reminder, “However, you must be careful not to focus solely on raising your Contracted Beast’s strength while neglecting your own Mental Power cultivation!”

“If your Contracted Beast’s power far exceeds the limits of your Mental Power’s control, it could very well lead to the tragedy of it turning on and devouring its master!”

This was the exact opening Zhao Qingtian had been waiting for!

He puffed out his chest, unable to hide his smugness any longer. “Rest assured, City Lord! My Mental Power has also reached the First-Grade Late Stage! It’s more than enough to easily control a Contracted Beast at the Third-Grade Realm!”

BOOM!

This news was even more explosive than the last!

Everyone stared at Zhao Qingtian as if he were a monster.

’Holy shit!’

’Is this guy trying to cultivate himself into a Hexagon Warrior?’

A Beast Tamer’s pursuit of a high Spiritual Realm was actually far less intense than that of Spiritual Mind Masters and Array Masters.

This was because the Mental Power growth of most Demon Beasts was far slower than their Qi Blood Realm progression.

Generally speaking, when a Demon Beast’s Qi Blood reached the Second-Grade Early Stage, its Spiritual Realm might not even reach the First-Grade Middle Stage.

A Beast Tamer only needed to maintain their Mental Power at the First-Grade Middle Stage to firmly control such a Contracted Beast.

But Zhao Qingtian had actually cultivated his Mental Power to the First-Grade Late Stage?!

’How much effort and how many resources must that have taken!’

’Talk about a grind!’

“Oh? First-Grade Late Stage Mental Power? Even in the Beast Taming Department at Du Nan First Middle School, that would get you into the advanced class!”

Zhang Chengye was amazed. He couldn’t help but turn to Lin Zhennan and say, “City Lord Lin, this student is truly exceptional. He’s prime material for Huaqing Jing University. You should pay close attention to him from now on!”

When these words were spoken, Zhao Qingtian’s heart was finally at ease.

This was the exact effect he had been aiming for!

With his own tangible efforts, he had proven to everyone that he, Zhao Qingtian, was the undisputed number one genius of this year’s class in Jiang City!

Whether it was his exam score!

Or his Contracted Beast’s realm!

Or even his own Mental Power level!

He had pushed them all to the absolute limit!

’What about that Gu Yuexi?’

’How could she possibly compare to me?’

’She’s nothing but lucky! Just a Flower Vase Beauty who could never amount to anything!’

Just as Zhao Qingtian was basking in his smug satisfaction, enjoying the crowd’s shocked gazes…

the light at the exit of the Secret Realm flickered once more.

A cold and aloof, beautiful figure slowly walked out.

Her expression was calm and her steps were unhurried. Her Combat Suit was clean and tidy, merely dusted with a bit of dirt.

It was as if she hadn’t just participated in a brutal practical exam, but had simply gone for a stroll in her own backyard.

It was Gu Yuexi!

She was finally out!

“Phew…”

Seeing her emerge safe and sound, the two big shots, Lin Zhennan and Zhang Chengye, both let out a long sigh of relief in unison. The heavy weight on their hearts was finally lifted.

’It’s good that she’s okay, it’s good that she’s okay!’

’If something had really happened to her, both of them would have been in deep trouble!’

Meanwhile, in a corner of the main platform, the cold smile on Leng Yan’s face froze instantly.

Her eyes flew wide open as she stared fixedly at the figure, her gaze filled with utter disbelief!

’How is this possible?!’

’How… How is she still alive?!’

’What about Qin Feng? What about those assassins I paid a fortune to hire?’

’So many people!’

’A trap set by a First-Grade Late Stage Spiritual Mind Master, plus seven or eight elite candidates from the top twenty!’

’And they couldn’t even deal with a single First-Grade Late Stage Martial Artist and a useless mosquito?!’

’Damn it…’

’A bunch of trash! They’re all useless!’

On the other side, Zhao Qingtian sized up Gu Yuexi with a derisive gaze.

’So you finally decided to come out?’

’Hmph, looking at how clean she is, she probably found a corner to hide in as soon as she entered the Secret Realm and just turtled until the exam was over, right?’

’I’d like to see just how many points this Flower Vase Beauty managed to get.’

’Twenty points? Or maybe thirty?’

Under everyone’s watchful eyes,

Gu Yuexi walked straight to the scoring table and calmly took two items out of her Storage Pouch, placing them gently on the surface.

Everyone stared intently, and they were all stunned.

It was a pitch-black, as if struck by lightning… giant turtle head?

And… a sharp scorpion tail glinting with a metallic luster?

’That’s it?’

’Just two things?’

’She spent a full eight hours in the Secret Realm and only hunted… two Demon Beasts?’

The surrounding students exchanged glances, their expressions turning strange.

Zhao Qingtian almost couldn’t contain his amusement.

’That’s it? Don’t tell me she only killed two First-Grade Early Stage Demon Beasts? For a measly two points?’

’Even if she killed two First-Grade Late Stage Demon Beasts, that’s still only twenty points!’

’They couldn’t possibly be from Peak of First-Grade Demon Beasts, right?’

’What a joke!’

’With her strength, if she really encountered a Peak of First-Grade Demon Beast, could she even have made it back alive?’

’Besides, even if Gu Yuexi did kill two Peak of First-Grade Demon Beasts, that would only be forty points, wouldn’t it?’

Li Yueyao also shook her head secretly. ’Just as I thought. A flower vase will always be a flower vase.’

Zhou Kai didn’t even spare Gu Yuexi a glance. Whether this Flower Vase Beauty had two points, ten, or forty, it made no difference to him.

She couldn’t possibly affect his standing.

As for Lin Zhennan, Zhang Chengye, and all the leaders on the main platform, none of them paid any mind to the two items Gu Yuexi had presented.

To be precise, they had never cared about her score from the very beginning. At most, she’d get twenty or thirty points. What was there to care about?

However, behind the scoring table…

the expression of the teacher in charge of scoring gradually froze after seeing the two items.

With a trembling hand, he cautiously picked up the turtle head, then leaned in to carefully examine the scorpion tail, his face growing more and more astonished.

“This… This is the head of a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast, the Ink Jade Profound Turtle!”

“And this scorpion stinger… it’s… it’s from a Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beast… a Desert Poison Scorpion??”

“Two Second-Grade Middle Stage Demon Beasts…”

“Two hundred points?!”
