Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Inside a room beside the arena at Jincheng First High.

"Wang Xiao, are you crazy?! You actually accepted a life-or-death arena challenge!"

Li Nan's first words upon arriving were a scolding!

She was furious!

She had just returned from running errands outside the school when she heard that Hua Jinlong was looking for trouble with Wang Xiao. She rushed over, only to find that Wang Xiao had already accepted the arena challenge and signed the life-or-death contract!

"Are you stupid? It's obviously a trap, and you just jumped right into it!"

"Sister Nan, I'm confident!"

"Confident my foot! Ma Long is a second-year student, his spiritual power is already close to a second-level Gu Master, and he's been cultivating his spiritual Gu for longer than you. Plus, that bastard Hua Jinlong will definitely play tricks. Who knows, Ma Long might even have a Golden Spiritual Gu!"

As Li Nan said, Hua Jinlong was indeed playing tricks.

At this moment, in the room on the other side of the arena, Hua Jinlong was talking to Ma Long: "Ma Long, don't be stressed! Yes, I didn't discuss it with you before accepting the life-or-death arena challenge, that was my fault, but I'll compensate you! Besides, there's no way you can lose. Wang Xiao is just a poor kid, I bet he doesn't even have a Silver Gu. If I wasn't afraid of getting sprayed by his disgusting stink bug, I would have gone up myself! This is a guaranteed win, what are you afraid of!"

Ma Long was indeed very angry at first because Hua Jinlong made the decision to accept the life-or-death arena challenge without consulting him.

This was a life-or-death arena, meaning that once you stepped onto the stage, it was a fight to the death, and only one person could come out alive!

This was a matter of life and death!

Ma Long felt that his life was being controlled by Hua Jinlong, so he was very unhappy!

But after listening to Hua Jinlong's persuasion, he gradually calmed down and thought, he couldn't possibly lose anyway, so what was the big deal about going to the life-or-death arena?

However, he couldn't just let it go like that!

He had to take this opportunity to get more benefits from Hua Jinlong!

Ma Long said, "Young Master Hua, I'm very willing to serve you, but the life-or-death arena is a bit much. After all, I'll lose my life if I lose…"

Hua Jinlong said directly: "Like this! I'll compensate you with two Silver Gu, plus a chance to enter the Dawn Mystic Realm. I'll give you my chance to enter the Dawn Mystic Realm, how about that?"

Ma Long was still hesitant, actually wanting to ask for more benefits!

Hua Jinlong said coldly: "Ma Long, there's no way you can lose. To put it bluntly, your life and Wang Xiao's life combined are not worth a corner of Starry Sky Gold! To protect my Starry Sky Gold, I can't let you lose, so I have to give you an extra layer of insurance!"

As he spoke, he took out a Gu egg from his spatial snail.

"Ma Long, this is the egg of a Golden Spiritual Gu, inside is a Golden Rhinoceros Beetle, with amazing defense. With it, you'll be invincible! I'll lend you this spiritual Gu first. You hatch it and recognize it as your master now, and after the life-or-death arena, you have to undo the recognition and return it to me!"

"Golden Spiritual Gu! Rhinoceros Beetle!"

Ma Long was shocked.

The Rhinoceros Beetle was a star Gu species, known as the battlefield tank, not only with amazing defense, but also with immense strength!

Moreover, this spiritual Gu has a very domineering and majestic appearance, and is very popular among the children of aristocratic families!

The resources consumed to evolve a spiritual Gu to golden quality are unimaginable, an existence that ordinary people can hardly achieve in their lifetime.

Ma Long instantly thought a lot. Could he take this opportunity to blackmail Hua Jinlong and give him this Golden Gu? After all, Golden Gu are precious, but far less valuable than Starry Sky Gold!

Before he could make his request, Hua Jinlong said coldly: "Ma Long, my asking price is already not low, don't make excessive demands! You've heard of my methods, Hua Jinlong, right? Don't offend me, or you'll regret it!"

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Ma Long's head, instantly extinguishing his greed.

That's right, even if Hua Jinlong was forced to give him the Golden Gu, he would have completely offended Young Master Hua, and his future days would not be easy!

With Hua Jinlong's methods, it would be easy to kill him!

Ma Long quickly said: "Please rest assured, Young Master Hua, I won't let you down, that kid Wang Xiao is dead for sure!"

Hua Jinlong nodded: "Stop talking, hurry up and hatch the Gu egg, the teacher in charge of the arena at the school will be here soon!"

"Yes, Young Master Hua!"

Hua Jinlong watched Ma Long begin to hatch the Gu egg, his mood even more irritable!

He originally had a Golden Spiritual Gu "Double-Tailed Scorpion", and had already invested a large amount of resources to upgrade it to near the second level, but unfortunately it was pinched to death by Old Master Yan!

The family then prepared a Golden Spiritual Gu Rhinoceros Beetle egg for him, which was this one. He had just received it today and hadn't hatched and recognized it as his master yet, but now it was even better, he could use it to let Ma Long win this life-or-death arena.

In fact, after taking out the Starry Sky Gold, he regretted it! Because Starry Sky Gold was an important treasure of the family. He relied on being the son of the patriarch to sneak into the treasure vault and take out the Starry Sky Gold to show off. If he lost it, he wouldn't be able to explain it when he went home!

Therefore, to ensure that Ma Long could win, he also lent out his Golden Gu!

Hua Jinlong sneered: "Wang Xiao, you're just a poor kid without parents, what are you going to fight me with when my Golden Gu comes out?"

…

On the other side, Wang Xiao was trying hard to persuade Li Nan when he suddenly heard a system prompt: "Ding! 200 meters directly ahead, a Golden Spiritual Gu 'Rhinoceros Beetle' has been detected…"

The location prompted by the system was exactly where Ma Long and Hua Jinlong were on the other side of the arena.

Wang Xiao immediately understood that Hua Jinlong was cheating, he had given his Golden Spiritual Gu to Ma Long.

It takes some time to undo the recognition of a spiritual Gu, so it can only be said that Ma Long originally had a Golden Spiritual Gu egg on him.

Not only was Wang Xiao not worried that his opponent had an extra Golden Spiritual Gu, but he was overjoyed!

Because in a life-or-death arena challenge, the winner has the right to inherit all the opponent's property. The greatest wealth of a Gu Master is their spiritual Gu! As long as Wang Xiao wins, he will not only win the Starry Sky Gold, but also all of Ma Long's spiritual Gu, including this Golden Rhinoceros Beetle!

Li Nan scolded Wang Xiao for a while, then grabbed his hand: "Wang Xiao, this life-or-death arena cannot be fought, come with me quickly!"

Wang Xiao spread his hands: "Sister Nan, the life-or-death contract has already been signed! Besides, I'm confident that I can win!"

"It's no good even if you're confident! I won't allow you to take risks! Let's go, let's go to the principal immediately to cancel the contract. Even if we bear a heavier punishment, we can't fight in a life-or-death arena!"

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Sister Nan, I signed the contract voluntarily. I'm a grown man, I can't do something that breaks the contract. I have to fight this arena whether I want to or not!"

Li Nan suddenly burst into tears: "Wang Xiao, you stinky guy! I've spoiled you for so many years for nothing. Only you and I are left from our two families. If something happens to you, Sister Nan will have no relatives anymore. I'll say it first, if you die, I'll die with you!"

Seeing Li Nan crying so sadly, Wang Xiao also felt a little regretful!

He felt that he had ignored Li Nan's feelings! He shouldn't have made the people who cared about him sad and worried!

Wang Xiao had no choice but to hug Li Nan: "Sister Nan, I'm sorry! I was rash this time. I won't be so reckless in the future, I won't take risks easily, and I won't make you worry anymore. Please don't cry, okay?"

"But… but I'm so afraid you'll lose!"

"Don't worry, I also have trump cards! Don't forget who my master is!"

Li Nan's eyes lit up: "That's right! You still have a master! But why didn't Senior Sun Qian come to see such a big thing as you fighting in a life-or-death arena? I'll go find him to support you. If you lose, he can forcibly save you!"

As she spoke, she turned to leave!

Wang Xiao grabbed her: "Sister Nan, didn't I tell you? My master doesn't allow me to reveal my relationship with him!"

He smiled bitterly in his heart. Where did I get a master from? Sure enough, you can't just lie casually. If you tell one lie, you have to use countless lies to cover it up!

Li Nan was dissatisfied: "What kind of master is that, you're about to fight in a life-or-death arena, and he's not coming!"

Wang Xiao comforted her: "My master didn't come, but he has been paying attention to this place. For a master of his level, distance is no longer a problem! Sister Nan, don't worry, if I really lose, my master will save me!"
