This scene was extremely bizarre. The vine net, which had always been afraid of fire, suddenly transformed into a hunter and trapped the fire in the center.

Jiang Liujing became interested and concentrated his perception. He found that the movement of the vine net swallowing the flame was somewhat similar to Chi's flame, but not the same.

Inside the pure green magic on the surface, strands of black sank inconspicuously to the bottom, and it was difficult to detect unless he looked carefully.

After wrapping around the attacking flames, the black turned into extremely thin silk threads, cutting the wrapped flames into countless tiny fragments, and then gradually decomposed.

Although both are destructive, Chi's flame can also devour the opponent's power and use it for his own benefit, while Liu'an's ability is more like simple destruction.

Jiang Liujing didn't understand why he, a wood mage who was supposed to have healing attributes, had such ability. Their mutant magics were still based on the enhanced properties of the original magic, but Liu An's had completely subverted the nature of magic itself.

It didn't take Liu'an too much time to win this game. The mentality of the students from the opposing Fire Academy collapsed when they found that the spells they cast were like throwing meat buns at a dog with no return, and they gave up and admitted defeat after a while.

Liu An jumped down from the stage with a grin, quickly ran to Jiang Liujing's side, and said to him proudly, "Well, I'm still pretty good, right?"

It was indeed impressive that he could easily defeat a student whose attributes restrained him. However, Jiang Liujing looked at his boastful expression and didn't want to praise him. He crossed his arms casually and said, "It's just average."

Liu An opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief: "Xiao Shui'er, you have changed, you have become cold and ruthless!"

"Really? Haven't I always been like this?"

"No, no, no," Liu An shuddered and complained, "You looked just like a carbon copy of your friend! He must have led you astray!"

After saying that, he angrily went to the audience to search for Chi, but surprisingly, he didn't see him in the water courtyard area.

Liu An was immediately surprised and asked, "He didn't come to watch your game today? That's unlike him."

Hadn't that guy always been guarding Jiang Liujing like a sword-wielding guard? Liu An could feel Chi's deadly gaze whenever he was less than half a meter away from Jiang Liujing. He had no doubt that if Jiang Liujing wasn't there, Chi would really attack him.

This was the first time Liu An had seen a friend's possessiveness be so strong.

Jiang Liujing coughed and didn't explain.

Not going to see it? Of course it was impossible not to see it. Chidu had told their dean that he wouldn't be going for seven days, and today was only the third day.

The reason why Chi was not in the audience was that he was considering that he might be summoned by Jiang Liujing at short notice. It would be quite obvious and embarrassing for a living person to disappear from the audience in public.

Jiang Liujing raised his head and glanced towards the Fire Academy's auditorium. That was the most crowded area in the entire venue, and the noise was louder than anywhere else.

At the end of the crowd, a dark grey shadow stood inconspicuously, attracting no one's attention.

Chi's appearance was not low-key, but when he wanted to hide, even people or beasts of higher rank would find it difficult to spot him. Dahei, a member of Jiang Liujing's family, had a deep understanding of this. He had chased out to find someone, but lost him in the blink of an eye.

As if noticing Jiang Liujing looking at him, the gray shadow moved slightly in the distance. Then, Chi's voice rang out in Jiang Liujing's mind: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Liujing thought about it, and out of consideration for protecting Liu An's life, he didn't say what he said. Of course, whether Chi heard him or not was unknown, and there was only so much he could do.

"Nothing, just look where you are, I came to find you."

"Don't want to continue watching the game?"

"Yeah." Jiang Liujing waved goodbye to Liu An and walked straight out.

As he walked, he casually glanced around. There were ten groups of people. He didn't know if it was intentional, but the representatives from each college were distributed relatively evenly. There was no situation where a bunch of seeded players killed each other in the first round.

His desire to watch the fun was immediately put away in disappointment.

Then he said to Chi in his mind, "I found that there are really not many people with contracted beasts. So far, only four or five people have summoned contracted beasts."

Chi raised his face slightly from the gray hood, revealing a bit of striking red hair, and his raised chin had a stern outline. Standing on a high place, his red eyes could easily take in the performance of everyone in the audience, and he naturally knew that what Jiang Liujing said was true.

He said slowly, "Once a contract is signed, it's difficult to break. Most mages carefully choose their first mythical beast. Even if its rank isn't high, they at least want to ensure its attributes are compatible. Many people won't hastily sign a contract before they've met a suitable partner."

After hearing his words, Jiang Liujing, who had signed a contract with Chi without a second thought, simply to find a playmate: "..."

What happened? Why did he feel like he was hit by an arrow in the knee?

Chi seemed to sense something from his silence, narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't say anything immediately.

It was only when Jiang Liujing walked out of the venue and the two of them bumped into each other that he asked in an inexplicable tone, "Why, are you now reflecting on your carelessness?"

Jiang Liujing suddenly touched his nose uncomfortably.

From the perspective of looking for a contracted beast, his behavior at that time was indeed too bold.

After all, Chi is so mysterious that Jiang Liujing still doesn't fully understand him. It is very risky to rashly sign a contract with such a being.

But he quickly remembered something, turned to Chi and retorted: "I was obviously trying to save you!"

If he didn't sign the contract, Chi Ke would have become dinner on his family's table that day.

"And the facts prove that I wasn't wrong in the contract," he muttered as he walked forward, and righteously questioned Equator, who was lagging behind him, "Are you unhappy about the contract with me?"

Chi looked at Jiang Liujing's somewhat angry back, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, and his cold face unconsciously softened a little.

He took a few quick steps to catch up with Jiang Liujing and whispered, "Happy."

To be precise, since I met him after breaking out of my shell, every day with memories related to him is like a beautiful dream.

That's why Chi guarded him so closely, fearing that if he was not careful, he would wake up from this beautiful dream and fall back into the painful reality.

Jiang Liujing paused and turned his head to look at Chi.

Under the sunlight, the boy's scattered red hair sparkled with a unique light, and his red eyes of the same color were filled with seriousness.

"Hmph, you still have some conscience." Jiang Liujing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head and continued walking.

Chi followed behind him and said, "However, the contract is indeed not something to be taken lightly. Although our contract has its own special opportunity, there will be no such luck in the future."

Jiang Liujing nodded: "I know, I will be more cautious in the future." His family has so many secrets, wouldn't it be the end of him if he contracted a guy who couldn't control his mouth?

As he walked, he casually said, "Actually, with you here, I don't think I really need another contracted beast."

Chi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an indescribable feeling came over him.

Chi didn't quite understand this emotion, but it probably made people happy, making his whole heart feel as if it was immersed in warm spring water.

He asked hoarsely, "Why?"

Jiang Liujing tilted his head and said as a matter of course, "You're so powerful, fighting with you is already very safe. And the tacit understanding between us is constantly growing. Contracting with another contracted beast would only disrupt this balance."

Chi is a human-shaped and intelligent fantasy beast. Jiang Liujing has no communication barriers with him, but if he contracts a new fantasy beast, it may not be the same.

Furthermore, selfishly speaking, Jiang Liujing also hopes that Chi is unique. After all, Chi is the best brother he considers.

Chi was silent for a long time, his calm exterior seemingly filled with intense inner turmoil. Finally, he closed his eyes and whispered, "No, I'm not strong enough right now."

He can support Miaomiao in making waves in school, but for her to make a name for herself in the outside world, he still needs time. Both he and Miaomiao need time.

Facing Jiang Liujing's puzzled gaze, Chi didn't explain further. Instead, he took a deep breath, suppressed the possessiveness and jealousy that surged in his heart, and said to him, "If you meet a suitable contracted beast in the future, you don't have to worry about me. If you want to make a contract, then go ahead."

Looking at Jiang Liujing, whose eyes widened in shock at his sudden magnanimity, Chi curled the corners of his lips. If possible, he naturally wanted Jiang Liujing to be alone.

But now they all desperately need strength. Jiang Liujing didn't know that there was an Ajin waiting for him in the Lost Forest, but Chi knew, which made his sense of crisis even stronger.

He looked at Jiang Liujing and said solemnly, "Miaomiao, no matter how many fantasy beasts you contract, I will prove to you that I am your best choice."
