My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 56

56: Chapter 56: Opening Ceremony, Dominant Entrance!

56: Chapter 56: Opening Ceremony, Dominant Entrance!

Pretty soon.

The day of the entrance ceremony arrived.

The central training ground was transformed into a massive auditorium, with the stands packed with people, buzzing with chatter.

“Hey, did you guys hear?

Something’s up with this year’s freshman ceremony!”
“Up?

What do you mean, isn’t it the same every year?

The principal gives a speech, then the freshman rep says a few words, and then it’s over, isn’t it?”
“Nope, apparently this year one of the new students was personally brought back by Principal Long!”
“And Principal Long is gonna set a special trial during the ceremony.

If that freshman passes, they get to enter the Beast Taming Holy Pool!”
“What, the Beast Taming Holy Pool?

Isn’t that only for Monarch Level Beast Masters?”
Gu Qianqian stood in the crowd, her lips twitching ever so slightly.

She never expected her little brother to cause such a big stir!

This entrance ceremony…

Not only did all the freshmen show up, even a bunch of older students came just to see the show.

“Qianqian, your brother is such a beast!

And he’s cute too, you wanna introduce him to me?”
Tang Xinrou nudged Gu Qianqian with her elbow, scooting closer, her eyes brimming with stars.

Hot, strong, and my bestie’s little brother!

No sense letting outsiders reap the benefits!

If someone’s gonna have him, why not me?

Gu Qianqian expressionlessly pushed her bestie’s face away:
“No way!”
“Why not?!”
“You’re too old!”
Tang Xinrou froze on the spot!

Ouch!

That hurts!

As the entry bell rang, freshmen started filing into the auditorium.

In the special admissions area, Qin Tian immediately spotted Ying Bing and hurried over with a few sidekicks.

“Bing-jie!” Qin Tian scratched his head.

“Where’s Brother Xing?

Didn’t he come with you?”
Ying Bing glanced at Qin Tian and replied coolly:
“He said he’s got his own groove and told me to come ahead.”
Qin Tian nodded.

And the little followers behind Qin Tian all exchanged looks.

Then one finally plucked up the courage to ask:
“Boss, who’s this Brother Xing you keep talking about?”
“Yeah boss, with your skills, why would you call anyone ‘brother’?!”
“Besides Bing-jie, who else in our year could possibly be your rival?”
Qin Tian suddenly turned around, his fierce gaze instantly silencing his crew:
“Listen up!

Gu Xing is MY bro!

Whenever you see him, show him the same respect you show me!”
These little minions knew all about Qin Tian’s reputation.

If Qin Tian said something like that, it must mean…

Gu Xing was definitely way stronger than him!

And not just by a little!

“Got it!”
All of them chirped up in unison, already burning Gu Xing’s name into their brains.

Right then, a shrill voice ripped in from the side.

“Yo, isn’t this our mighty Qin?!”
Wang Teng swaggered over with a few cronies, a mocking grin plastered on his face.

“Since when’d you pick up some rando bro?

Especially that loser dreaming of getting into the Beast Taming Holy Pool?”
He’d gotten orders straight from the family’s old ancestor…
To crush Gu Xing publicly at the freshman ceremony!

And he’d already heard-the show this year might be Gu Xing fighting ALL the new students, solo.

He had zero respect for idiots like this.

Beast Taming Holy Pool?

Somebody at the Extraordinary Level thinks he’s good enough?

“Swoosh-”
A vivid green vine whipped through the air, stopping just short of Wang Teng’s throat.

The massive silhouette of the War Treant loomed behind Qin Tian.

“Next time you insult Brother Xing,” Qin Tian’s eyes flashed cold, “this vine’s gonna go right through your mouth.”
Beads of sweat broke out instantly on Wang Teng’s forehead.

He opened his mouth but didn’t dare make a sound.

Qin Tian always meant what he said!

And when it came to skill or family background, he was a notch below Qin Tian.

His face changed over and over until finally he ground his teeth and turned away.

“We’re leaving!”
As he left, he dumped all his rage onto that Gu Xing kid he’d never even met.

If he couldn’t take on Qin Tian, surely he could handle some clown who got by just on hype?

Even if Long Zhenguo brought him in for the special trial…

That just means he couldn’t cut it for the pre-exam special admissions!

Special admission?

Just a flashy Talent Awakening, that’s all!

Talent means nothing without skill as a Beast Master!

Surely he’s at least better than that guy?!

At this moment.

Long Zhenguo had already slowly mounted the stage, introducing the history of the National Academy.

But his Spirit was focused on…

Gu Xing, sneaking secretly into the venue!

Even though he’d said he wanted Gu Xing to fight all the freshmen one-on-one…

But…

He actually didn’t plan on forcing the students to fight Gu Xing.

How Gu Xing would get over a thousand freshmen to willingly challenge him-that was part of the real test!

Aside from Long Zhenguo, the training ground was also watched by several Monarch Level Beast Masters.

They too were dying of curiosity-just what could this brat do?!

He actually dared to demand entry to the Beast Taming Holy Pool!

“Now let’s welcome the freshman representative, Ying Bing, to the stage for opening remarks!”
The announcer’s voice echoed across the hall.

Ying Bing was just about to stand, when she caught sight of a familiar figure sneaking toward the stage.

Her lips curled slightly upward and she stopped in her tracks.

“Freshman rep, please come up for your speech!” The host called again.

However.

The highly anticipated Ying Bing didn’t show up.

Instead, a nimble figure leapt onto the stage.

As the staff gaped in shock, Gu Xing snapped his fingers…

“Boom!”
Fiery gold Holy Fire burst forth, Eight-winged Angels unfurled their dazzling wings midair, lighting up the stage like a divine altar.

Gu Xing’s fingertip swept over the crowd of freshmen, his voice infused with Spiritual Power echoing to every corner:
“No offense, but aside from me, which of you deserves to be called the number one freshman?”
He smirked with a cocky curve:
“What, you mean… all you trash in here?”
“Whoa-”
The whole hall froze for a beat, then exploded like a tidal wave.

“Shit!

Who the hell is this guy?!”
“Fuck, I can’t stand him!

I’m taking this asshole down!”
“Where’s security?

Somebody drag this psycho offstage!”
In the crowd, Ying Bing heard Gu Xing’s speech.

She couldn’t keep up her ice queen act anymore.

With a quick “pfft,” she burst out laughing.

And Qin Tian quietly gave Gu Xing on stage a big thumbs-up.

No wonder he’s Brother Xing, always stirring things up!

The older students in the stands were all in total shock:
“Holy shit!

This freshman is insane!”
“He pissed everyone off, is he gonna get beaten to death?”
“Wait… that’s gotta be Gu Xing, right?”
Meanwhile, Tang Xinrou was clinging to Gu Qianqian’s sleeve, practically vibrating with excitement.

“Qianqian!

My hubby!

MY HUBBY!”
Gu Qianqian’s mouth kept twitching.

This…
Is this really her sweet little brother?!

Long Zhenguo stared at Gu Xing up on stage, cocky to the extreme, almost yanking out his own beard.

He hadn’t expected Gu Xing to challenge the whole crowd like that!

But the effect…
Was surprisingly GOOD!

However.

Right as the freshmen were about to go berserk, Gu Xing suddenly made a “pause” gesture.

“Sorry, slip of the tongue just now.”
He flashed an innocent little smile-and then just as everyone relaxed-
“SWISH!”
He jabbed his finger at the stands, voice suddenly cranked to max:
“I meant, all you seniors in the stands too, every last one of you is TRASH!”
