“Ladies and gentlemen, the first challenger has appeared!”
“She will be challenging… the seeded player—Snow Joy Cat Nuobai!”
“I’m sure the locals of Dragon Sleep City are no strangers to her. For our friends who have traveled far, let me explain why we gave such a precious seed slot to Nuobai, who is only at the late Second-tier.”
“Let’s all shout her name together!”
With the host’s introduction, a wave of sound erupted from the audience.
“Nuobai! Nuobai! Nuobai!”
The Dragon Sleep City residents seized the opportunity to proselytize, frantically spreading Nuobai’s legendary experiences.
Something about a thirty-day bloody battle on Snowy Mountain…
The sun and moon bowing beneath her cat claws…
Death and rebirth, the return of a king…
Finally, the entire venue roared in unison.
“Miracle Cat! Miracle Cat! Miracle Cat!”
On Bai Luxin’s lap, Nuobai was holding her head in pain.
“Alright, stop clowning around. We need to go.”
Picking up Nuobai, Bai Luxin faced tens of millions of gazes and walked toward the Challenge Platform without an ounce of fear.
She was no longer that timid little girl. At this moment, Nuobai was her greatest courage.
The girl challenger felt a little timid. She hadn’t expected the object of her challenge to be so popular.
The heavy waves of sound made her dizzy. She tried to comfort herself.
‘It doesn’t matter, it’s just a little cat. I might not necessarily lose. Today I have to go up and feel that throne—this could be the most glorious moment of my life.’
When they reached the Arena, Nuobai jumped down to the ground and instantly grew to over a person’s height, staring at her opponent with a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes.
At that moment, the screen gave Nuobai a close-up. Everyone present saw those heterochromatic eyes.
Gold shimmered with flowing light; red concealed hidden mystery. They complemented each other, mysterious and unfathomable.
Seeing them today would lead to a lifelong obsession.
The entire arena gradually fell silent. Everyone was captivated by that pair of heterochromatic eyes, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Why hasn’t it started yet?
Nuobai shot an unhappy glance at the referee. She didn’t want to stand around like an idiot—she wanted her big sister to hold her!
“Confusion Butterfly versus Snow Joy Cat, begin now!”
“Confusion Butterfly, scatter—”
“Attack.”
Before the challenger could finish her command, Bai Luxin had already given the order.
To avoid holding Nuobai back, she had been training her arena commands during this time.
Issuing the order just under the deadline was one such technique.
Through the rapport cultivated by the Contract, she gave an instant command and coordinated the Beast Pet’s actions.
The brief, direct order rang out, and Nuobai’s figure vanished from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already behind the Confusion Butterfly.
Instant Kill Step.
A blue Contract Protection instantly popped up. Nuobai was even holding back her strength; otherwise, she could have shattered even the Contract Protection.
One-hit kill!
How could the gap be this huge? Wasn’t she also only at late Second-tier?
Even if she couldn’t win, she shouldn’t have lost so badly.
The challenger girl’s tears streamed down her face.
Boo-hoo, so tragic.
But the cat was really beautiful. Getting to see her up close—that alone felt worth it.
Without waiting for the referee’s verdict, Nuobai returned to Bai Luxin’s side and carried her back to the Throne.
She deliberately passed by Liu Wushang and did a slow-motion act right in front of Long Qianwu.
‘See? You’ve never ridden one, have you? Envious, aren’t you?’
Using her tail, Nuobai gently placed Bai Luxin onto the Throne, then shrank back into a little cat and burrowed into her embrace.
Nuobai’s proud and coquettish demeanor was broadcast live from every angle by the following camera.
At this moment, everyone present—and everyone watching the livestream—wanted to take Bai Luxin’s place.
Bai Luxin suddenly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Beneath the Arena, the first challenger—the first loser—was being interviewed.
“I’m very glad to have faced off against Snow Joy Cat Nuobai!”
“Getting up close with her, you’ll find she’s definitely a hundred times prettier than on screen.”
“Cool! Elegant! Powerful!”
“From now on, I’m her fan! I want to have kittens for her!”
With that crazy interview, the number of registered participants quickly surged again.
Winning or losing didn’t matter—it was all about luck.
Cat cat, hehehe…
Close contact with Snow Joy Cat…
The people of Dragon Sleep City had gone mad, wishing they could cut their age down to the right number.
This might be their only chance to get close to Snow Joy Cat.
If the Authorities hadn’t patched the rules in time, the arena would have turned into a battlefield of little cubs.
But for those who had already registered, there was no helping it.
In the time that followed, Nuobai was constantly forced to work. Each time was a one-shot kill, each time was full-on cheering, and everyone never tired of it.
The entire “Torch” selection tournament looked like a Snow Joy Cat fan meeting.
Cameras, slow-motion replays, odd angles—they practically shoved the lens right in Nuobai’s face.
As for the serious challengers, they were grinding their teeth in frustration. They simply couldn’t get matched with Nuobai.
On paper, Nuobai had the lowest level—only late Second-tier.
The other seeded players were at least early Third-tier or higher. Long Qianwu’s Silverback Dragon was late Third-tier.
Liu Wushang’s Nether White Tiger was even more terrifying—mid Fourth-tier!
Someone was smurfing…
They didn’t dare touch that at all. Liu Wushang was already dozing on her Throne, half-lidded eyes fixed only on Nuobai.
Because challenges had a cooldown period, if challenged continuously for a long time, one could choose to refuse.
Even so, Nuobai became the Beast Pet with the most challenges. The first thing everyone did upon earning qualification to challenge was to apply to fight her.
Over the entire day, Nuobai was forced to crush noobs, and they kept swarming over like masochists.
A guy from a neighboring border city wasn’t so lucky. His Beast Pet was early Third-tier, and after a whole day of attrition, his seed slot had changed hands.
Long Qianwu watched these people feed kills and laughed in anger. After a full day of battles, the highest level Nuobai had faced was only mid Second-tier.
From start to finish, it was just one Flash attack and instant kill. She did some mental math—if that was all Nuobai had, then she could win.
The Order of Deity Slayers obviously hadn’t shared the intel with her. Long Qianwu didn’t even know that Nuobai’s already exposed [Fight to the Death] ability.
“Nuonuo is amazing—that’s one hundred seventy-two consecutive wins already.”
“It’s all because of Sister’s good commanding, meow~”
“Good job, good job…”
Bai Luxin hugged Nuobai and took a deep sniff of her scent.
Long Qianwu’s expression twisted. Her inner curses grew even dirtier. If the camera weren’t constantly here, she would definitely curse that vixen a couple of sentences.
Seducing her cat. The bloodline of Honored Dragon City was truly disgusting for making her lose Nuobai.
On the other side, Liu Wushang leaned forward slightly, a hint of intoxication on her face.
‘What does it feel like? I’m so curious. Is it the same as the Nether White Tiger when it was young? Why won’t the Nether White Tiger shrink? Why isn’t it convenient to hold now?’
After that transaction, her sense of touch had been completely conquered by Nuobai. There was no going back.
When the first day’s matches ended, Bai Luxin was about to leave. Liu Wushang blocked her way.
Seeing this, Long Qianwu wasn’t in a hurry to leave either and stood by to observe.
“You can let me touch her. If you have any requests, you can name them.”
She couldn’t take it anymore. It was too torturous—itched her heart.
Long Qianwu spoke up for her, slyly mocking Nuobai.
“A touch won’t make you lose a chunk of meat. Miss Liu has come from afar. As a seeded player of Dragon Sleep City, isn’t it right to show some hospitality?”
Nuobai wasn’t about to indulge her. Narrow-minded obsessive.
“If you like showing hospitality so much, why don’t you strip naked and go to her bed?”
“You two, please move aside. Nuobai and I are in a hurry to go home.”
“We’re very busy.”
Bai Luxin calmed Nuobai down and walked right between them.
After fighting all day long, she needed to give Nuobai a good bath.
