Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress

On the stage in the trial hall, an old professor with a white beard was announcing the rules through a megaphone.

"This trial for new students will last for five hours. You will be teleported to the Sunset Valley Secret Realm. There are level one to three exotic beasts inside. You will earn 20 points for each level one beast you kill, 100 points for level two, and 400 points for level three."

"Fighting among classmates is strictly prohibited! Anyone found doing so will have their grades canceled and be expelled!"

"The top ten students in the ranking will have their tuition waived for the entire year, and the top three will receive a letter of recommendation from the college and have the opportunity to participate in the selection competition for Imperial Capital University!"

Upon hearing the words "Imperial Capital University," the students below erupted in excitement. It was the cradle of the strong.

Su Qianxue clenched her fists, her eyes resolute. She was determined to take first place.

"Alright, the formation is activated, everyone prepare to enter!"

At the professor's command, a huge spatial rift appeared in the center of the hall, emitting a faint blue light.

The students entered in order. Su Qianxue took a deep breath and stepped into the crack as well.

After a dizzying spin, Su Qianxue found herself in a dense forest. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, but also carried a hint of danger.

"Time to get to work," Su Qianxue said softly.

Yichen jumped off her shoulder, his body disappearing the instant he landed.

"Meow!" [Thirty meters to the left and slightly ahead, there's a huge, clumsy rhinoceros.]

Although Su Qianxue couldn't understand cat language, she could sense Yi Chen's location through the contract. She immediately drew her longsword, and in a flash, rushed in that direction.

Soon, a huge rhinoceros covered in heavy armor came into view.

"A second-tier beast, an armored rhinoceros." Su Qianxue recognized the target at a glance.

This armored rhinoceros has extremely strong defenses, and it is difficult for ordinary second-tier martial artists to break through its defenses.

But it encountered Su Qianxue.

Su Qianxue circulated her ice-elemental spiritual power, covering her longsword with a thin layer of frost. Using a mysterious footwork technique, she transformed into a blur, instantly appearing behind and to the side of the armored rhinoceros.

"Ice Crack Slash!"

With a single slash, the sword struck precisely at the gap in the armored rhinoceros's neck.

"Roar!" The armored rhinoceros let out a miserable cry, and blood gushed out.

It angrily turned around, intending to ram into Su Qianxue. But just then, it felt a blur before its eyes as a black shadow flashed by.

Yi Chen made his move.

He didn't need to get close at all; he simply swung a claw from ten meters away.

The Void Cat's claw strike carried the power to shatter the void, and several invisible black streaks flashed past.

"Pfft!"

The armored rhinoceros's massive head was cleanly severed, and its enormous body crashed to the ground.

Su Qianxue was stunned by what she saw.

"He...died?"

She knew her tabby cat had become stronger, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong. This was a second-tier beast, yet it was instantly killed.

[Ding! Defeat the Tier 2 Armored Rhinoceros, gaining 100 points!]

On Su Qianxue's watch, the score jumped once.

"Well done, keep it up!"

For the next hour, Su Qianxue and Yichen went into overdrive harvesting mode.

When encountering a Tier 1 beast, Su Qianxue dispatched it with a single sword strike. When encountering a Tier 2 beast, Yi Chen added a claw attack.

Deep in the forest, they encountered a group of second-tier beasts called "Mighty Mammoths." There were more than a dozen of them, pressing down on them like small mountains.

If other freshmen encountered this situation, they would have run away long ago.

But Su Qianxue didn't back down; she glanced at Yichen on her shoulder.

"Try out your new skill."

Yichen jumped onto a big tree, his emerald green eyes widening suddenly, purple light swirling in his pupils.

"Illusion!"

The herd of mammoths, which had been charging forward aggressively, suddenly stopped. Their eyes became dazed, and they began to circle around in place; some even started attacking each other.

"What? This is an illusion! Haha, great!" Su Qianxue was overjoyed. She seized the opportunity to rush into the beast horde, her longsword dancing like a serpent.

In less than ten minutes, all of the dozen or so mighty mammoths had turned into corpses.

[Ding! 12 Mighty Mammoths defeated, earning 1200 points!]

At this moment, on the real-time leaderboard in the academy hall, a name was climbing at an alarming rate.

"Holy crap! Look! The number one spot has changed!"

"Su Qianxue? 1500 points? And it's only been an hour!"

"The second-place finisher only got 110 points? How is that possible? Did she disturb a monster's lair?"

The teachers also gathered around, their faces showing surprise.

"The data is refreshing too fast, is the instrument broken?" A young teacher rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Wang Hai stood at the back of the crowd, his face so dark it was almost dripping with gloom. He stared intently at the top name on the list, a chill running down his spine.

"How did this girl do that? Is that cat really that amazing?"

He quietly walked to a corner, took out a specially made communicator, and sent a message: "The target's strength exceeds expectations. Move immediately and leave no survivors!"

Inside the secret realm, Su Qianxue was unaware of the tremors outside.

She was squatting by a stream, looking at the enormous creature in front of her.

It was a "steel crocodile" that was more than ten meters long, with scales all over its body that looked like they were made of steel, and it was lying on the shore sunbathing.

This is also a peak level two alien beast.

"Leave this to me, you cover for me." Su Qianxue wanted to hone her combat skills.

She took a deep breath, and her spiritual energy surged wildly within her body.

"A thousand miles frozen over!"

She slammed her hand on the ground, and the cold air spread rapidly along the water's surface, instantly freezing half of the steel crocodile's body in ice.

The crocodile struggled frantically, its tail whipping out and shattering the surrounding rocks.

Su Qianxue moved nimbly through the rubble, searching for the weak spot on the crocodile's belly.

Just then, the crocodile suddenly opened its blood-red maw and sprayed out a stream of dark green venom.

Su Qianxue dodged to the side, and the venom landed in the grass on the ground, instantly emitting a plume of black smoke and corroding a large pit in the ground.

"That was close."

Su Qianxue's eyes narrowed, and seizing the opportunity, she thrust her longsword with all her might into the crocodile's eye.

"puff!"

The longsword plunged all the way to the hilt. The crocodile convulsed violently a few times, then fell completely still.

[Ding! Defeat the Steel Crocodile, gain 100 points!]

Su Qianxue wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although she was a little tired, she felt very happy.

"Let's go find a Tier 3 beast!"

She's now fully in character, like a drawn sword, its sharpness fully revealed.

As Su Qianxue continued to venture deeper into the secret realm, the level of the surrounding beasts became increasingly higher.

"Hiss,"

A sickeningly loud sound rang out.

In a swamp ahead, a giant snake, as thick as a bucket and with two heads, was coiled up.

"Peak Level Two, Two-Headed Serpent." Su Qianxue's expression turned serious.

This snake is not only highly venomous, but its two heads can also attack independently, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Yi Chen slid off Su Qianxue's shoulder and stretched.

"Meow." [This is interesting, leave it to me.]

He flickered and disappeared from the spot.
