Chapter 254 Beaten For Being Sharp-tongued
Realizing that the Eye of All Things could actually absorb her spiritual power, Yu Huang hurriedly
placed it between her legs and used the fabric of her long skirt to cover it.
Yu Huang raised her head and stared at the Grand State Master. She said with lingering fear, “This
thing seems to be absorbing my spiritual power.”
The Grand State Master nodded and explained, “The Eye of All Things uses spiritual power as food.
The stronger your spiritual power, the more information you can pry. You’re a Purifying Spirit Master,
and your spiritual power far exceeds that of ordinary Beast Tamers. This is your advantage.”
Yu Huang was a Purifying Spirit Master, so her mental strength was powerful to begin with, but when
she looked straight at the Eye of All Things, she felt as if she was being stared at by an abyss.
Her little spiritual power was not enough.
From the looks of it, she had to speed up her cultivation of the Purifying Spirit Art.
The two of them chatted about the cultivation method for the Eye of All Things for a long time. In the
blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.
The Grand State Master said to Yu Huang, “Have you eaten the imperial feast? Are you interested in
staying to taste it?”
Yu Huang naturally wouldn’t refuse. “Alright.”
As the Grand State Master of the Divine Moon Empire, Mo Xiao was the most respected person in the
Divine Moon Empire. Even the Emperor had to treat him respectfully.
His three meals a day were all prepared according to the emperor’s standards.
But Mo Xiao was not a spendthrift.
When they were born, the Holy Spirit Continent was not as rich as it was now. At that time, many
people in many places could not eat.
Mo Xiao had seen the miserable scene of starving people on the Holy Spirit Continent and had also
seen the scene of people trafficking their children to eat. Because he had suffered that pain, Mo Xiao
was the most uncomfortable with extravagance.
Because of Mo Xiao, the entire royal family became thrifty.
Mo Xiao usually ate three fixed dishes and one soup. Seeing that Yu Huang was willing to stay for
dinner, Mo Xiao ordered the waiter to inform the kitchen to make two more dishes.
Logically speaking, Mo Xiao was already an Prime Master, so he should have abstained from eating
long ago. But Mo Xiao was still like a commoner and would eat at a fixed time.
Mo Xiao put down his chopsticks after eating two bowls of rice. Seeing that there was still a lot of food
on the table, he leaned lazily against the seat and said to Yu Huang, “Eat more, don’t waste it.”
Seeing that Yu Huang’s arms and legs were thin, Mo Xiao frowned slightly and said, “Look at how thin
you are. You can even float in the wind. Eat more meat and gain some weight.”
Yu Huang was a little embarrassed. Why did both her godfather and mentor feel that she was very
thin? Which young girl these days didn’t covet her good figure?
Family members and kin probably thought otherwise.
Yu Huang was already full. When she heard the Grand State Master’s words, she could only continue
to bury her head in her food. She ate until her stomach swelled up and finally finished all the food.
After the meal, the Grand State Master allowed Yu Huang to leave.
When Yu Huang drove back to the hotel, almost all the participants from the other 32 high schools were
already there. Many young beast tamers were checking in.
Yu Huang swept her gaze over them and noticed that amongst these participating academies’ teams,
there was actually not a single female Beast Tamer.
It seemed that the cultivation world was also biased against women.
Yu Huang had not returned for the entire night. Yin Rong and the others were worried about her. When
they heard Yu Huang’s footsteps, their teammates, who were gathered in Xiao Shu’s room to play
cards, hurriedly opened the door and walked out.
“Yu Huang, why have you only returned now?” Xiao Shu leaned against the door and shook the phone
in his hand. He said to Yu Huang, “Professor Sheng called me a few times. He’s rushing here now.”
Yu Huang was shocked. “Isn’t Sheng Xiao in seclusion?”
“You went missing last night. How can he still be in seclusion in peace?”
When Yin Rong saw that Yu Huang was not wearing the gown she wore last night, her heart skipped a
beat.
Yu Huang left with a stranger last night and did not return after a night. When she returned, she
changed her clothes. Could she have been raped by a stranger last night…
Yin Rong’s expression instantly became worried. She walked over and held Yu Huang’s hand. She
asked, “Yu Huang, are you okay?” Her question was very ambiguous.
Zhong Luoxue looked at her worriedly.
Yin Rong and the others had higher cultivation levels than Yu Huang. Yu Huang couldn’t hear their
thoughts, but she could guess what they were worried about. Her heart warmed up, and she told
everyone, “I’m fine. I was picked up by the Grand State Master.”
“The Grand State Master personally went to save you last night?”
“… Yeah, kinda.”
After knowing that Yu Huang had been with the Grand State Master, Yin Rong and the others relaxed.
“Let’s play cards!” After they confirmed that nothing had happened to Yu Huang, everyone felt at ease
and shouted as they played cards again. The moment Yu Huang heard “cards,” she could not help but
recall her experience last night. “You guys play cards. I’ll rest for a while.”
“Okay.” Yin Rong thought of something and called Yu Huang back. She said to her, “The participants
are all here now. The organizers will invite everyone to a gathering tonight. This is an unspoken rule
before the competition. Don’t forget it.”
Yu Huang was a newcomer to the basketball competition and indeed did not know this rule. She
nodded and said, “I’ll attend on time.”
With that said, Yu Huang opened the door and entered the room.
She took a shower and changed into her nightdress. She laid on the bed and quickly fell asleep. The
Eye of All Things was very wicked. Yu Huang only looked at it for a few seconds before she felt listless.
Yu Huang slept peacefully that night.
When she woke up, it was almost dark.
They had already stopped playing card games next door. Yu Huang looked at the time and saw that it
was already 7.15 pm. There were still ten minutes before the gathering time. Yu Huang quickly
changed into the Divine Realm Academy’s uniform and knocked on Yin Rong’s door.
Yin Rong had also changed into her school uniform. Seeing that she was awake, she said, “It’s good
that you’re awake. We’re waiting for you. Let’s go.”
It turned out that everyone was already prepared. They just wanted Yu Huang to sleep a little longer, so
they all stayed in their rooms to do their own things. Seeing that Yu Huang had woken up, everyone
walked out of their rooms and went downstairs to attend the gathering
The restaurant on the fifth floor was very spacious. There were 34 tables and one table for each of the
33 high schools. The organizer’s staff sat alone.
During the meal, the participating players of the various high schools tacitly put on their school
uniforms. The young beast tamers put on their uniforms, and all of them looked energetic and
extraordinary.
Each table had a sign with the name of a high school. Whenever a high school basketball team entered
the venue, the staff would bring them to their respective tables according to the names on their
uniforms.
Before long, the hall was filled with more than twenty tables. The first to arrive were all last-rate
academies, and the last to arrive were all famous academies.
The party started at 7:30 am. The people from Divine Eagle Academy waited until 7:25 am before
arriving late.
The Divine Eagle Academy was second on the Divine Realm Continent’s universities’ rankings. Even
though they had the Divine Realm Academy above them, the Divine Eagle Academy still liked to be the
last to appear.
The uniform of the Divine Eagle Academy was a dark blue British-style suit. The Divine Eagle school
badge on the left chest was decorated gaudily. From afar, everyone could see the blue color. They
knew that the Divine Eagle Academy was here.
The Divine Eagle Academy was a first-tier institution. They had always disliked the other lower-tier
colleges. When this group of boys walked in, they did not greet the students of the other colleges. They
only nodded at the organizers and walked to their table to sit.
Everyone was unhappy, but they could not say anything. In the cultivation world, strength was always
the most important. Beast Tamers who could enter the Divine Eagle Academy were definitely stronger
than them.

In front of the strong, the weak had no right to ridicule.
Because Yu Huang slept and was delayed for some time, the Divine Realm Academy arrived a few
minutes later than the Divine Eagle Academy.
When they heard footsteps outside the door, everyone turned to look outside. Seeing a dark coffee-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcolored school uniform, everyone knew that the people from the Divine Realm Academy had arrived.
There was a line of nine people, six men and three women.
The person in the lead was Yin Rong.
Because her beast form was that of a unicorn, Yin Rong’s aura was naturally gentle and calm, which
was very deceptive.
Yin Rong had a head of black hair with a gentle smile on her fair face. She didn’t look like an
outstanding Beast Tamer, but like a dancer.
Behind her was the basketball team leader, Yin Yang. Behind Yin Yang was the long-haired Xiao Shu,
Zhong Luoxue, and the others.
Yu Huang and Liuli Feng were the least experienced and were ranked last.
Yin Rong, Yu Huang, and Zhong Luoxue were the only three women at the entire gathering. In the past
competitions, almost no women had participated in the basketball competition.
Everyone was shocked to find that there were three women on the basketball team sent by the Divine
Realm Academy this year.
Someone from the Divine Eagle Academy sneered. “Last year, the Divine Realm Academy’s basketball
team sent a female student, Liuli Luoluo. This year, three females came. What? Is there no man in the
Divine Realm Academy?”
Xiao Shu suddenly summoned his unicorn beast form and walked towards the Divine Eagle Academy.
The unicorn leaped thirty feet and landed on the Divine Eagle Academy’s table. It kicked the man who
had spoken earlier to the ground.
Xiao Shu walked to the Divine Eagle Academy’s table and glanced at the man on the ground
disdainfully and arrogantly. Then, he stared at all the basketball players in the Divine Eagle Academy
and sneered. “The quality of your academy’s teaching is really worrying. It didn’t teach you guys
anything but how to gossip.”
“Don’t be too arrogant!” This was Xiao Shu’s second time participating in a competition. The
representative team leader of the Divine Eagle Academy naturally knew him.
Xiao Shu’s beast form had already jumped onto their table to show off. If they could still endure it, that
would be too spineless.
Xiao Shu snorted. “If you can beat me, I’ll allow you to be arrogant.” Xiao Shu opened his arms and
said to them frivolously, “Come, hit me!”
The people from Divine Eagle Academy were instantly enraged. Everyone released their beast forms
and looked like they were about to fight.
When Yu Huang saw this, she finally understood why there was a ban on gang fights in the basketball
competition between Beast Tamers.
It seemed that there had always been instances in the past where students would fight because of
disagreements.
The Divine Eagle Academy and the Divine Realm Academy had always been at odds. There would be
friction before every basketball match. In the official arena, they fought even more fiercely.
Everyone was used to it.
