Chapter 94: The Beast- Girl Universities Couldn’t Ignore

The Beast- Girl Universities Couldn’t Ignore

At Supreme Heaven University—ranked #1 in the nation.

The atmosphere inside the observation room had changed completely.

A Supreme Heaven official rushed to the screen.

What had started as a simple observer recommendation had escalated to upper management.

"This team is impressive!"

Several people gathered around the screen.

The replay showed Selena’s attack again.

Then Evelyn’s web.

Then the explosion.

"Interesting. Very interesting."

"A one-shot sweep. An opponent even Steffan refuses to face head-on."

"I’m very optimistic about this beast-girl."

A suited Supreme Heaven executive nodded approvingly at the screen.

Then he turned to the observer beside him.

"But this beast-soul master... only D-rank?"

The executive frowned as Leon’s profile appeared.

"That’s too low. How could someone with that aptitude get into Supreme Heaven? Do you think just anyone can attend our academy?"

The observer hesitated.

"The information says D-rank, Director Yamen."

"The beast-girl has potential. The master—forget it. See if we can poach her."

"But Director Yamen, that’s not..."

The observer stared at him in disbelief.

Want the beast-girl but not the beast-soul master? That’s poaching!

"Don’t question me. Just do as I say!"

"Y-Yes, sir. I’ll submit your recommendation to the recruiters."

"Good. That’s settled."

Director Yamen folded his hands behind his back.

"We’re Supreme Heaven University. Thousands beg to get in, and we still reject most of them."

"Just say it’s Supreme Heaven University interested in her—she’ll dissolve her contract the next day. With her strength, she can find any beast-soul master she wants!"

Director Yamen chuckled coldly and walked out.

His footsteps echoed down the corridor.

"Perfect for my nephew. With a beast-girl this strong, after some training, getting a top ranking in the national league... shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

------------------------

At Spark University—ranked #3.

The atmosphere was equally tense.

One observer replayed Leon’s battle several times.

"Leon? Never heard of him. But if even Steffan won’t fight him head-on, this team must be incredibly strong."

He immediately turned toward the staff beside him.

"Prepare an A-grade contract. We’re signing him immediately!"

----------------------------------

At Heavenly Star University—ranked #4.

Another group stared at the screen.

The replay ended.

Nobody spoke for several seconds.

Finally—

"Too strong. This doesn’t even look like a martial high student!"

Another administrator nodded.

"If it weren’t for this match with Steffan, we might have missed this limitless talent. No hesitation—offer an A-grade contract."

"He’s absolutely worth it."

A younger staff member hesitated.

"But Director john, we only offered Steffan a B-grade contract. You want to give Leon an A-grade?"

"Just do as I say."

"Yes, sir."

------------------------------------

That day—every major university was shaken.

When they reviewed Leon’s previous matches, they were even more astonished.

The replays continued running.

Complete Victory.

Complete Victory.

Complete Victory.

Again and again.

Recruiters boarded airships, carrying early admission slots and "sincerity packages" to Jade City.

Contracts represented sincerity.

Higher-grade contracts meant more resource allocation from the university.

The more support you received, the more likely you were to become a top-tier powerhouse.

After university, a beast-soul master’s personal strength would skyrocket—eventually rivaling their beast-girls.

But training consumed massive resources.

Some things in this world couldn’t simply be bought with money.

Noble families monopolized resources.

Without connections, even money couldn’t buy true power.

That was why Leon wanted to use Evelyn to infiltrate the Blackheart Family—to gain access to their resources.

There was an unbridgeable gap between the powerful and the common.

University sponsorship and early admission contracts were another path.

But tens of thousands of students fought over only a hundred slots each year.

Only a handful of commoners rose through this method each year.

That was the harsh reality.

Climbing upward was like crossing a single-log bridge—only the very few made it to the other side.

Even so—the martial exams remained the only upward path available to ordinary people.

---------------------------------

On the arena, the clock reached five and a half minutes.

The bright numbers continued ticking.

5:29.

5:30.

The crowd became increasingly restless.

Selena had cornered the pair against the edge.

There was nowhere left to retreat.

Steffan’s eyes moved across the arena.

Behind him was the boundary.

In front of him stood Selena.

Evelyn had already positioned herself to the side.

And Leon stood farther behind them, watching quietly.

Steffan took a deep breath.

He knew it was time.

"No choice. We’ve stalled as long as we can. Time to go all in!"

His roar echoed through the arena.

His golden battle armor flashed beneath the arena lights.

Victoria stepped forward.

A terrifying aura exploded from her body.

Her long black hair whipped wildly behind her.

Her golden eyes became brilliant.

The pressure of an SS-rank beast-soul erupted without restraint.

Victoria had long since become Victoria in the records and announcements.

Now, the entire arena witnessed the true strength of Victoria and her Golden Eyed Smoke Lioness power.

She exploded with terrifying aura—her body surging as she launched a ferocious attack at Selena.

[SS-rank Golden Eyed Smoke Lioness! Full power!]

[Golden Lion’s Dawn!]

A dull thrum reverberated through the air.

The sound wasn’t loud.

Yet it carried a strange weight.

The arena seemed to tremble beneath it.

Golden light gathered around Victoria’s body.

Her eyes blazed with brilliant golden light.

The energy concentrated around her arm.

Then—

A massive claw strike crashed down.

The force behind the attack was frightening.

The air distorted.

The arena floor beneath her feet cracked.

Spectators in the nearest rows instinctively leaned backward.

Even the observers from the major universities focused their attention on the screen.

This was the power of an SS-rank beast-girl.

Compared with the S-rank beast-girls Leon had defeated earlier, it was on another level.

Victoria’s claw descended toward Selena.

Selena didn’t retreat.

She didn’t dodge.

She simply looked at the incoming attack.

Her golden eyes remained calm.

Then she threw a single, unremarkable punch.

No dazzling Battle Art.

No complicated technique.

Just one punch.

Her fist collided directly with the massive golden claw.

For one instant—

The entire arena seemed to stop.

Then—

BOOM!

The ground beneath Selena’s feet buckled.

Stone shattered outward.

Cracks spider-webbed across the arena floor.

Debris flew in all directions.

The collision sent a violent wave of force through the stage.

The crowd stared in shock.

Leon watched the clash carefully.

Then he nodded approvingly.

"Impressive!"

His purple eyes gleamed.

"An SS-rank beast-soul is far stronger than S-rank."
