Whispers lingered above the crowd, and gazes fell upon the snow demon in court attire sitting at a table and chair in the center of the square. The snow demon was reviewing a wolf-headed alien.
“Snow werewolf is not good, too ugly. Princess Anna doesn’t like this type.”
The snow demon waved a hand at the other person, its face filled with impatience. The wolf-headed human-bodied alien bared its teeth and clenched its fists, clearly displeased that its appearance was being disliked. Of course, that was secondary. The main point was…
This was clearly a written test, why were they looking at faces? What kind of nonsense was this?
“Reviewer, I am proficient in various human skills. Why can’t I be hired? Looking at faces is too against the rules!”
Taking two steps back, the werewolf bared its teeth and asked in question, revealing its frightening fangs. Behind it, a werewolf phantom appeared, and judging by its aura, it seemed to be at the Intermediate Battle King level.
“Even if you don’t look at faces, what qualifications do you, an early-stage Intermediate Battle King, have to be selected? The weakest in there now is the late-stage Intermediate Battle King. They basically aren’t recruiting anymore; the spots are all reserved by the Royal Family.”
The snow demon wearing court attire didn’t even lift its eyelids at the imposing pressure and continued to play with its button phone leisurely, as if it were just another day at work.
“You!”
The werewolf’s face turned frighteningly dark. The coldness in its voice was clear to everyone, but it still didn’t dare to make a move. It understood that the other party’s strength was similar to its own, and there were plenty of guards around. If it caused trouble, it wouldn’t be able to escape.
“Sign up for my friend.”
Just as it turned to leave the square in frustration, a slightly hoarse voice sounded. Soon, two figures, one large and one small, pushed their way out of the crowd with the help of external qi. It was Su Jiu and the other, who had arrived late.
The werewolf’s gaze was also drawn over. It frowned as it looked at Su Jiu and the other. First, it scanned Anna, only to see that she was at the War General Level, not…
Then it looked at Su Jiu. It found that although its aura was very strong, it was only an Initial Stage Battle King. It then grinned, looking at Su Jiu’s face with schadenfreude:
“Heh heh, you should go back, they’re not recruiting here anymore.”
Su Jiu glanced at it indifferently and continued to walk forward. The interviewer had just rejected this werewolf.
Didn’t she see that?
The passers-by also started to watch the fun. Normally, it would be like this, but Su Jiu’s appearance looked very much in line with the aesthetics of their snow demon clan, even falling into the category of cute.
“Yes, we are recruiting. Why wouldn’t we be? Miss, please follow me to sign, and press your fingerprint on the alchemy seal.”
Just as the werewolf finished speaking, the snow demon in court attire who had been playing with the old man’s phone got up nimbly. Its face was full of smiles as it looked at Su Jiu and the other.
It even stepped forward and slightly bowed, holding the phone between its legs, not daring to move. Its attitude couldn’t have been better.
If one didn’t know its identity, one might have mistaken it for a waiter at a restaurant.
“Okay.”
Seeing the other party’s attitude, Su Jiu walked forward. During this process, she couldn’t help but glance at Anna standing beside her, feeling amused. She guessed that this attitude had something to do with this girl.
“No, Sir! Didn’t you just say you weren’t accepting Intermediate Battle Kings? She’s only an Initial Stage Battle King!”
The werewolf, who was ready to watch the show, was stunned. The other party had just said they weren’t recruiting Intermediate Battle Kings, and now they were accepting someone at a similar level to itself.
Was it just because of her good looks?
“Initial Stage Battle King?”
Upon hearing this, the snow demon in court attire carefully scanned Su Jiu’s cultivation level with its mental power and was somewhat speechless. It was only concerned with showing off because its boss’s daughter had come for supervision.
It had initially assumed that the person she brought would be powerful enough. Now, it didn’t know how to refuse. While an Initial Stage Battle King might be able to show off in the outside world, it was definitely not enough to be seen on the battle stage.
It organized its language slightly, glanced furtively at Anna, who had been watching it the whole time, licked its slightly dry lips, and asked Su Jiu again:
“Miss, if you are only at the Initial Stage Battle King level, it’s best not to participate in the registration. The subsequent battles involved could easily lead to casualties.”
“It’s alright, I’ll try to be gentle.”
Hearing the rather discouraging words of this “waiter,” Su Jiu smiled indifferently, waved its hand, and picked up the pen to continue writing its information.
“Ah! No…”
It’s not about whether you go easy or not, it’s about if you die, I’ll be held responsible!
This action made the “waiter” a bit flustered. How could an HR person tactfully tell a privileged person that they couldn’t do the job?
Urgent!
After writing the information, Su Jiu looked at the former and noticed its somewhat unsightly expression. It naturally knew what the other party was thinking, so it said with a bit of amusement:
“As for my strength, I’m definitely not as weak as you think. At least in the arena battles, I won’t lose every single one.”
After saying that, it was about to press the golden seal with its thumb onto the information sheet, but was suddenly stopped by a sharp reprimand—
“I, Old Wolf, am not convinced! Why can she, an Initial Stage Battle King, participate, while I, a handsome wolf at the Intermediate Battle King level, am rejected?”
“Little girl, why don’t you two fight it out on the spot?”
“Aren’t we fighting? It’s the arena competition in a couple of days anyway!”
As its voice rang out, the crowd became noisy, egging the two on to duel. This caused the soldiers maintaining order to become flustered and had to use their weapons to block the instigating crowd.
“Boring…”
Hearing the voices, Su Jiu glanced at the werewolf who had spoken, not paying much attention to it, and continued to press its fingerprint down as if nothing had happened.
“Is that it?”
It picked up the paper again and handed it to the “waiter.”
The “waiter” was stunned for a moment and then slowly nodded. For now, it could only let them pass and find a way to eliminate this privileged person later.
“Let’s go. If possible, I’d like to meet your father.”
Seeing the other party nod woodenly, Su Jiu turned around, took Anna’s wrist, and walked back the way they came. After all, it was a new place, and she could maintain a little of the maiden’s reserve.
Of course, the most important thing was that it was not good to cause trouble here, being in an unfamiliar place.
“Aren’t you going to respond to him?”
As they left the crowd, Anna could almost hear the boos. She blinked her eyes and asked with some confusion, “Curator said that Miss Su has strength, but…”
Su Jiu shook its head and continued walking. What was the point of proving oneself to a weakling? One hand was enough to suppress them.
“Awooo!!”
Just as a howl rang out, their vision suddenly darkened, and a tall figure blocked their way. Then, a humming laugh sounded, seeming to carry a hint of coldness:
“Since you are qualified to participate, you must be much stronger than me, right? How about letting Old Wolf try – is your neck harder, or are my claws harder?”
Seeing this, the “waiter” was scared out of its wits and quickly flickered to Su Jiu’s side, shouting loudly at the front, “Wolf demon, don’t you know who you’re messing with? Do you know who is in front of you?”
The werewolf glanced warily at the “waiter,” but it stuck its neck out, as if it had a firm conviction, and said coldly, “I don’t care who she is. I just know that this woman has no strength and took my spot.”
The “waiter” frowned but didn’t refute. However, it was precisely this silence that made the werewolf more convinced that Su Jiu was a privileged person. It waved its furry hands and said indifferently:
“Princess Anna’s teacher is not only her teacher but also a National Master with high political status. Can such a position also be given to a privileged person?”
As soon as the other party said this, the crowd’s gazes all fell on Su Jiu, with scrutiny, doubt, but more hope that Su Jiu could prove itself. After all, no one wanted the higher-ups in their country to be incompetent privileged individuals.
Facing the repeated provocations, Su Jiu bypassed the “waiter,” tilted its head slightly, extended two fingers towards the other party, and said softly, “But do you know? I don’t even need a weapon to deal with you.”
This wolf is too arrogant. It’s time to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
“This little girl is too boastful, isn’t she? An Initial Stage fighting an Intermediate Stage without even a weapon…”
“Perhaps she’s being pushed into a corner.”
As soon as Su Jiu said this, the entire audience was silent for a moment, then erupted in exclamations, with cries of doubt, but more of them were watching the show.
“Arrogant!”
Although the other party looked like a young girl, being so belittled by her in public caused the werewolf’s expression to sink. It bared its fangs and said, “That’s what you said. Don’t come begging for mercy later.”
“Take these two moves first.”
Looking at the other party’s smug attitude, Su Jiu smiled faintly. Its fingernails projected from its fingertips, and two rather cute fangs were slightly revealed. Then, it gently raised its slender foot and surged forward!
As its foot landed, a sonic boom echoed. Then, amidst the shocked uproar of the surroundings, Su Jiu’s fingers slashed forward like nail clippers, a blue streak of light cutting through the air.
The werewolf initially didn’t care much, but the moment the fingers slashed out, the beastly instincts within its body instantly sensed the danger of death. It instinctively raised its hand and blocked with its beast claws.
“Clang!” The next moment, sparks flew. Under everyone’s gaze, the werewolf’s two puny, pillar-like arms were sent flying by Su Jiu’s slender, bamboo-like arm. Moreover, its body was repelled several meters by the heavy blow and the surging energy.
“What’s going on?!”
Just as its face still showed signs of shock, Su Jiu’s slashes rained down. Its movements were swift and elegant, like an assassin. In an instant, two fingers were calmly pointed at the werewolf’s neck, and its faint voice followed— “Surrender, or I’ll help you surrender.”
“You’ve been hiding your strength… I surrender.”
The werewolf lowered its head and looked at Su Jiu, who was standing on tiptoe and pointing at its neck. It subconsciously took two steps back and said with a dazed expression.
It had never expected to lose in a fight of less than ten seconds. Geniuses could fight above their level, but those who could instantly kill opponents above their level could never be ordinary geniuses.
The scene fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time. Anna, watching the scene before her, widened her eyes. A ripple appeared in her pale blue pupils. She suddenly felt that this woman in front of her was somewhat handsome.
