Among the Other Creatures Chapter 10

When taking the written test, Jack Wei had actually consciously let himself go, but unexpectedly he still got first place in the test.

"No way, there really isn't a single student in this class who can fight..." Jack Wei muttered softly. He felt that more and more candidates were looking at him, and the hostility in their eyes became more and more obvious.

It's over. At first, I was targeted just because of my human identity, but now I have become a thorn in everyone's eyes.

He showed his big white teeth, smiled, and stepped back repeatedly, "Thank you all, congratulations, I wish you all the best, may all your wishes come true, may you achieve immediate success and may you make a lot of money. I'm afraid there are too many blessings at midnight, so I'll wish you all a happy new year first..."

After saying that, Jack Wei grabbed Jing Yun and ran away.

The entrance exam of Shanhai University is half written and half practical. Although he has become everyone's target, his first place in the written exam at least allows him to maintain an absolute advantage in the total score. Even if he has lost the ability of Alex, at least his close combat foundation can defeat some monsters with weak practical combat in the first half of the practical battle.

In this way, he still has a chance to enter the mountains and seas.

Jingyun's written test ranking is also good, but the actual combat is indeed a bit worrying. Jack Wei has always felt very strange. Logically speaking, Chongming is also a big family, but Zhezhi is too far away from Beiji Tiangui, so it is not familiar with Alex's family. But Jingyun doesn't look like a child from a big family. He is cautious in everything he does.

Could it be the script of a young master who is stranded outside?

Jack Wei slapped his forehead, ending the bloody family ethics drama fantasy in his mind. The initial rounds of the actual competition were held in parallel in many different venues, so he had to separate from Jing Yun. Jing Yun seemed to be more worried about him, "If you can't do it, raise your hand and tell the referee in time. I'm afraid that when the time comes..."

"It's okay. They don't dare to fight to the death. This is a foul. There are referees watching every round. Those who go too far will be stopped." Jack Wei clenched his fist and touched Jing Yun's thin shoulder very lightly. "Come on, maybe we can have another match."

For all the demon teachers and students in the school, the fact that humans entered the mountain and sea combat competition was simply a joke. The continuous wars between humans and demons in the early years had already made demons undoubtedly at the top of the food chain. If it weren't for the existence of some pro-human and neutral factions among the demons, humans would have long been reduced to captives of the demons.

Now Jack Wei has become the first human candidate to enter Shanhai, and this alone is enough to cause an uproar.

But even so, no monster had any doubts about this obviously crushing situation. What everyone wanted to see was the monster defeating the human in the arena as easily as stepping on an ant.

But what they never expected was that this thin-looking human boy was actually a better fighter than they imagined.

In the first game, Jack Wei encountered a wood-attributed vine monster. The rules of the game were not much different from those of the freshman game he participated in ten years ago. The first half was a restricted game, and both sides were not allowed to use monster power. If one side left the game field or was unable to stand up during the restricted game, the other side would be declared the winner.

Such rules are inherently unfair to humans. He has no so-called demonic power to use in the second round. No matter who his opponent is, he can only fight in hand-to-hand combat.

No one will change the rules of the game just because he is special. The real world is so cruel. You are a weak person, and there are only a few options for you to choose.

Jack Wei knew better than anyone that he couldn't wait until the second half, otherwise he would be entangled by the opponent's vines and thrown out of the field, with no chance of winning. So he didn't leave any room in the first half. Vine monsters, who had not undergone professional training, were no match for the top close combat expert in Shanhai at that time, given their limited abilities.

The hourglass suspended above the chess table had only run halfway when the opponent was knocked out of the table by Jack Wei.

For a moment, the stands surrounding the chess field were completely silent. No one reacted, and no one had anticipated this outcome.

A demon was actually defeated by a human without any super powers.

"This must be a coincidence."

"Yes, it must be that this little demon's level is too poor. It's obvious that he has never received any close combat training. No wonder he was eliminated so quickly." At the end of the first game, most of the audience held this thought.

But the second, third, and fourth rounds all had the same result. Not only the skinny vine monster, but even the tall and brave wolf monster, were defeated by this tiny human.

The name of the candidate Wei Heng appeared repeatedly on the light screen suspended above the gymnasium - as the winner. Although the mountains and seas are vast, news spreads quickly.

"Hey, did you guys go to watch the actual game this year?"

"No, I just finished class. Are there any candidates with great monster bloodline this year?"

"No! Can you believe it's a human? And this human candidate actually won five rounds of close combat!"

"What the hell? I want to go see it too!"

The actual game was only halfway through, and more and more spectators were rushing to the stadium.

Jack Wei, who won the fifth game, went to rest between games. He left the chess table and went to the examinee lounge. The potion Jing Yun gave him was indeed a powerful medicine. After Jack Wei entered the game, he felt that his body was half lighter. When avoiding attacks from others, he could almost flip in the air.

Not only that, his strength has also increased. Although he cannot be compared with the physical fitness of the big monsters, for monsters of ordinary abilities, Jack Wei has a great chance of winning as long as he can control the game time in the first half when he cannot use his monster power.

After a few rounds, Jack Wei was injured a lot. He took some medicine and bandages from the school doctor's desk and sat on a chair in the lounge to bandage the wounds on his knuckles and arms. These wounds looked scary, but they were nothing to Jack Wei, who had been accustomed to gunfire in his previous life. After bandaging, he left the lounge and followed the virtual electronic screen floating in the air to find Jingyun's game schedule. He was still a little worried.

As soon as he squeezed into the audience seats, he saw the thin Jingyun being pinned to the ground and beaten, with blood coming out of his mouth.

"Jing Yun!" Jack Wei was anxious and couldn't help but shout out. The hourglass reversed and stopped. The first half ended. Jing Yun was beaten and lay on the ground, unable to get up. His chest rose and fell like a fragile little fish. When he heard Jack Wei's voice, he turned his head slightly and looked at him with a grin.

"Are you okay?" Jack Wei wanted to flip over, but was quickly surrounded by a dozen small bee monsters, flashing their sharp stingers at his face. "Warning! Warning! Warning..."

Jack Wei raised his hands, "Okay, okay, I won't go down, I won't go down."

He looked at Jingyun worriedly, but Jingyun shook his head. He reached out and took off his glasses, and when the countdown to the break was over, he stood up shakily and stuffed the old glasses into his coat pocket.

Jack Wei clearly saw that Jing Yun's eyes, which were usually hidden, lit up with a strange light.

The crocodile demon, the opponent, swung his thick tail covered with hard scales and said disdainfully, "Surrender early, and I will make you lose quickly."

"No." Jing Yun wiped the corner of his mouth. The moment he raised his head, his eyes had double pupils that overlapped, and red wings suddenly appeared behind him. "I will not surrender."

"I am Chongming, and I cannot be looked down upon."

The opponent pounced straight at him, and Jing Yun flew to dodge. This was the first time Jack Wei saw him display his magical powers.

After being attacked several times, the crocodile demon became furious. His body expanded several times and became extremely huge. He grabbed Jingyun in the sky and said, "I will throw you out directly."

While worrying about him, Jack Wei had been thinking about what the capabilities of the Chongming clan were.

Jing Yun, whose throat was strangled, struggled to grab the crocodile monster's thick wrist, his eyes red.

"Okay...Okay..."

That’s right! It’s power!

At the moment when Jack Wei suddenly realized what was going on, Jing Yun, whose body was only one tenth of the crocodile monster's, actually lifted the giant monster over his head with his backhand. Flying in the air, he gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and the yellow family pattern on his wrist burst into dazzling light. The yellow light went straight down his arm to the side of his neck. Amid his desperate roar, the huge crocodile monster was thrown out of the chess field!

The whistle blows---

Jing Yun was exhausted, his wings flapping feebly in the air. Jack Wei was very excited, "Jing Yun is awesome!"

Jing Yun looked up and smiled at him. Jack Wei waved at him and was about to say something when the communication bracelet on his hand made a beep.

"Candidate Wei Heng, please go to chess table No. 132 within ten minutes. The game is about to begin."

It was his turn. Jack Wei pointed at his wrist and left the competition venue, heading towards the designated chess table.

According to the rules of the promotion match and the number of candidates who passed the Shanhai written test, he has won five games in a row and should be in the middle circle. The opponents behind him will only become stronger and stronger. If he wants to stay in Shanhai, he must not lose this game.

Jack Wei walked in from the entrance of the stadium. The chess table No. 132 was different from the previous ones. It was a circular chess table that was completely suspended in the air. The table was divided into two black and white areas by the Tai Chi pattern.

Somehow, thunderous cheers suddenly erupted from the stands. Jack Wei thought, could it be that I played so well in the first few games that I became famous and gained a lot of fans?

Jack Wei was busy trying to compose his expression and preparing to raise his hand to wave to his "fans" when he suddenly saw a petite figure flying up from the other side of the chess table. Only then did he hear clearly that the audience were not shouting his name at all.

He put down his half-raised hand awkwardly and looked up at the chess table that was out of reach.

Such a high platform is too unfriendly to his current human body that cannot fly.

Suddenly, a prompt sounded from the speakers, "Referees, please take your positions!" A diamond-shaped floating platform appeared next to the circular chess table. A tall figure in a white military uniform appeared, his feet landed on the referee's table, and his white wings folded. His every move did not look like a demon at all, but more like a noble archangel in the strokes.

Sh!t, Yun Yongzhou is the referee?

Jack Wei himself didn't realize that he couldn't even see his opponent clearly from such a long distance, but he could recognize the man on the referee's bench at a glance. At the same moment, the high and mighty Yun Yongzhou lowered his head without warning, and his indifferent pupils met his.

Jack Wei, who was noticed by Yun Yongzhou, took this opportunity to wave his hands wildly, jumping like a little grasshopper, "Referee! Look at me! Referee brother! I can't get up, can you help me!"

Yun Yongzhou frowned slightly, but remained indifferent and had no intention of helping him. Jack Wei was worrying about how to persuade this hard-hearted guy, but suddenly a gust of wind blew around him. Jack Wei turned around and looked in the direction of the wind. A handsome young man smiled at him. He had a pair of dark blue wings behind him and was wearing the uniform of an instructor at Fuyao Academy.

Jack Wei was stunned, as if he was in another world.

"Yang..."

He reacted immediately and almost blurted out the other person's name.

But Yang N, who was at a distance, did not hear the subconscious words of the human boy, and smiled brightly, "Do you need my help?"

Although death made him unable to feel the gap of seven years, Jack Wei still felt mixed emotions when he saw his old friend who he grew up with again.

As expected of Yang N, facing an alien that broke into the mountains and seas, he was not disgusted at all and was even willing to lend a helping hand.

Jack Wei raised his head and smiled at him as if he didn't know him, "Okay." Judging from the ordinary instructor uniform Yang N was wearing, he was probably just here to do stability work for the game, or to watch the game. But now that he has become an instructor, he should be very busy, so why is he here?

"Little brother, you are such a nice person." Jack Wei took a step forward and just as he took a step towards Yang N, a blade of light flew towards him and pierced the ground directly, only a few centimeters away from his toes.

Oh my god! Jack Wei was so frightened that he quickly retracted his feet and turned to look at the abuser.

Yun Yongzhou raised his chin slightly, and his eyes seemed to have more meaning than the simple coldness before, but Jack Wei really couldn't see through it.

What he couldn't understand was that the next moment, a step made of light appeared out of thin air at the edge of the chess table, one level after another, step by step downwards until the last level connected to the ground.

This dazzling golden ladder triggered cheers from the audience. Who could have thought that they could see the Golden Crow's unique skills in such a small qualifying match?

Jack Wei stared blankly at the steps of light that blinded the entire place, confused.

In a moment, Yun Yongzhou's cold voice pierced through the noisy cheers and reached Jack Wei's ears like a staircase of light.

"Come up on your own."
