Chapter 401: 395: The Python Swallows the Dragon

Translator: 549690339

After class, David Jones spoke to Margaret Yule beside him: “Let’s postpone today’s medicine refining gathering by one day. I have a competition to deal with tonight.”

“Shall we all go to the scene together tonight and cheer for the captain?” Yolanda York, who was standing aside, looked at everyone.

“That won’t be necessary. It’s just a beast taming competition, and I’ll finish it quickly. If you all come, the competition venue might be crowded with your admirers.” David jokingly said.

Upon hearing this, Yolanda unconsciously glanced at the sunny young man not far behind her, feeling more annoyed with Samuel Brown’s presence.

Samuel Brown was a well-known casanova in Rosewood College. Because of his strength, he ranked fifth on the Ziwei Ranking in his senior year and was always surrounded by girls.

However, he somehow launched an aggressive pursuit of Yolanda recently.

Although the Yorks and Browns still had some connections, Yolanda didn’t give Samuel a good look.

“Captain, what admirers? They’re all a bunch of annoying people.”

Yolanda complained, “Before I become a Master Pharmacist, I won’t consider falling in love. It’s too troublesome, don’t you think, Captain?”

Upon hearing this, Yann York looked at his cousin with some surprise. Normally, when it came to medicine refining and cultivation, she would always mention Captain David. Now are you really focused on cultivating? Who would believe that?

Indeed, the prettier a girl is, the better she is at lying!

“That’s right, falling in love is too superficial. Focus on cultivation to achieve longevity and eventually serve the country or travel the world. That’s what we should pursue!” David nodded slightly.

It wasn’ t easy for him to cultivate a qualified pharmacist.

If the members became love-brained and went to fall in love instead of improving their pharmacy skills, the source of elixir soul for Spirit Eye would certainly be reduced a lot!

Hearing David’s praise, Yolanda’s eyes and eyebrows instantly curled upwards, revealing a toothy smile.

The captain aims high, devoting himself to becoming a powerful dragon- wielding pharmacist and living a long life.

In order to catch up with the captain’s pace and stand by his side as a qualified partner, she would not waste time and energy on matters of love.

“David, are you sure you’ll win?” Margaret asked worriedly.

“Fred Hoyle has been ranked first in the Ziwei Ranking for many years, suppressing countless talented Trainers with his formidable strength!” As he said this, David’s face showed a trace of seriousness, “Without having a direct confrontation, I can’t be sure of winning based on the information I’ve collected so far.”

Margaret was stunned. In all the time she had known David, she had never seen him so wary of anyone.

Cecily Mansfield curiously asked, “So Captain, how certain are you, really?” David looked up at her, his tone heavy, “About eighty-eight percent.” If it were just a matter of comparing the strength of their pets, he would be 100% confident, but it seemed there were more troubles involved in this competition than he had imagined.

Everyone: “???”

Unable to resist such odds, Shelley Creek casually stretched her hand and wrapped it around David’s neck like a buddy.

“Eighty-eight percent, what’s the difference between that and being sure of winning? Captain, are you teasing us?”

She turned her head to seek affirmation from her teammates, only to see Margaret and Yolanda glaring at her with their arms and chest clasping hands. Shelley’s body stiffened, and she unconsciously loosened her arm, “Sorry, Captain, I got a little excited.”

David, whose eyes had been briefly submerged in the darkness, coughed lightly, “It’s ok, we are all teammates, and I won’t mind even if you do it again.”

Significant events happening within Rosewood College never escaped the attention of the school’s management. They even purposely spread the news of the competition for the top of the Myrtle List to Rosewood City and Southriver Province.

Audrey Harvey was sitting on the sofa with her teacher, Lilith Hoyle, discussing the situation.

Both a mature beauty and a little girl, many people would mistakenly think Audrey Harvey was the teacher based on appearances alone.

“Teacher, David Jones is challenging the number one position on the Myrtle List!”

“Hmm, I know. Is there a problem?”

“Director Tan Yong Zhi hopes David will concede the fight, allowing Fred Hoyle to remain at the top of the Myrtle List in his final year and achieve the honor of being the champion for three years.

In return, he is willing to compensate David with 360,000 school credits, a Class VII A-tier Defensive Arcane Implement, and the captaincy for the National Trainer Competition.”

“Interesting, for his disciple to be on Flowery Kingdom’s genius list, Tan Yong Zhi really isn’t worried about losing the prestigious face of a Legendary Powerful One!” Lilith Hoyle shook her head slightly, as if it was unbelievable.

It should be known that Fred Hoyle wasn’t afraid of David Jones at all, and Tan Yong Zhi’s actions most likely had other motivations.

“What does David have to say about this?”

“He said to just follow whatever you decide, Teacher.” Audrey Harvey replied softly.

“Then let him give it his all. My disciple Lilith Hoyle either doesn’t compete, or if he does, he takes number one.”

Lilith Hoyle smirked.

“Tan Yong Zhi must be crazy, this kind of match-fixing will only ruin both

David and Fred.”

“I understand now!” Upon hearing this, Audrey Harvey sighed in relief.

In an extravagantly furnished office, Tan Yong Zhi listened to his subordinates’ report, his calm face showing no surprise.

“He refused? An expected response.”

“What a shame. David’s Talent and destiny are extraordinary. If he could just achieve victory directly, Fred could effortlessly absorb David’s partial Talent with ‘Devouring’, thus greatly increasing his Potential. Perhaps even placing within the top three of the genius list would not be an issue.” Tan Yong Zhi contemplated in his heart.

“Nevermind, since it won’t work, let’s just forget about it. With Fred’s strength, defeating David shouldn’t be a difficult task. Also, arrange for this Myrtle Competition’s battle for the top position to be broadcasted live nationwide, understood?”

“Yes, understood.”

Watching his subordinate leave the office, Tan Yong Zhi muttered, “Fred, this time I arranged a fantastic stage for you. With the intention of the nationwide audience, perhaps you can absorb a significant portion of David’s frightening destiny. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Night fell, and it was soon time for the Myrtle Competition.

Thanks to Tan Yong Zhi’s behind-the-scenes push, many students who looked up to either David or Fred gathered in the Battle Square to cheer.

Just the number of Trainers seated in the audience exceeded several thousand. ” So many people. Good thing we got here early to grab seats,” Margaret Yule said, relieved from her seat in the front row.

“Ah, David’s here! David’s number one! I love you!”

When David Jones stepped onto the Battle Platform, a shrill female voice rang out from the crowded audience.

“This voice sounds familiar?”

David subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but found only a sea of excited, unfamiliar faces.
