Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress
Chapter 29 The Wang Brothers: Intrigue and Undercurrents
Unlike Su Qianxue, who was silently licking her wounds and processing her gains in her apartment, the atmosphere at the Wang family mansion on the other side of the capital was gloomy.
The Wang family's manor covers a vast area, with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and flowing water, exuding an undisguised luxury and cultural heritage.
In a study decorated in a simple yet grand style, Wang Teng stood with his head down in front of a young man, his face turning pale and then flushed, barely daring to breathe.
The young man sat behind a desk carved from a single piece of thousand-year-old ebony, toying with two jade balls the size of walnuts in his hands. He wore a simple silk robe, and his face bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Wang Teng, but their temperaments were completely different.
If Wang Teng was flamboyant and arrogant, then this young man was reserved and profound. His eyes were calm as a deep pool, but occasionally, a sharp glint would flash across them, making people afraid to look directly at him.
He is Wang Teng's older brother, Wang Yi, the true prodigy of the Wang family in this generation.
At only twenty-four years old, a peak ninth-level martial artist, he had contracted an Emperor-level sub-dragon with extremely pure bloodline, making his strength unfathomable. Even among the younger generation of the entire Dragon Ascension Empire, he was a top figure.
"Speak, what is it?"
Wang Yi's voice was flat, revealing no emotion. He didn't even look up at his younger brother.
Wang Teng's lips twitched a few times, but he finally steeled himself and recounted the humiliation of kneeling in public in the academy cafeteria, as well as Su Qianxue's strange tabby cat, embellishing the story.
Of course, he deliberately omitted the part where he had provoked the other party, only emphasizing the other party's arrogance and his own innocence.
"...Brother, the freshman arena competition is in just over ten days. I can't let the Wang family down!" Wang Teng's voice trembled with tears, half acting, half genuine grievance. "That Su Qianxue, she's too strange! Her cat...that cat has a very eerie ability that can suddenly make a person's body incredibly heavy!"
Wang Yi stopped playing with the jade ball.
He finally raised his head, his deep eyes looking at his younger brother.
"Gravity space?" he slowly uttered the four words.
"Yes! Yes! That should be it!" Wang Teng nodded quickly, as if he had found a kindred spirit. "Brother, you know about this skill too?"
Wang Yi's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Gravity space, this is not a common skill.
This falls under the category of spatial laws and is one of the highest and rarest abilities.
Normally, only those beasts whose bloodline reaches the Emperor level and who have a special affinity for the laws of space are likely to awaken after the sixth rank.
A new student, a tabby cat, with king-level aptitude, actually mastered this divine skill?
"Are you sure it's a tabby cat?" Wang Yi's tone carried a hint of scrutiny.
"Absolutely true!" Wang Teng gritted his teeth. "The whole class saw it! It was just a black, bland stray cat! But it knew those weird tricks! Bro, I suspect that cat wasn't even a King-level cat, but something higher! Otherwise, how could it have awakened such a skill at the fourth rank?"
Wang Yi fell silent.
He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
In the study, only the soft "tap, tap, tap" sound remained, each sound like a tapping on Wang Teng's heart.
"An ordinary citizen from a small place like Tiannan City, with no background, yet possesses such a bizarre contracted beast..." Wang Yi muttered to himself, "Interesting."
"Brother! This isn't about whether it's interesting or not!" Wang Teng exclaimed anxiously. "If I lose to her again in the arena, how... how can I face anyone to live? The entire capital will laugh at the Wang family!"
"waste."
Wang Yi coldly uttered two words.
Wang Teng's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, but he didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.
"You can't even handle this little thing, and you come back crying. You've already disgraced the Wang family." Wang Yi's tone was cold, but his eyes softened a bit. "However, you are still my brother. The Wang family cannot be bullied like this by outsiders."
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng was overjoyed, knowing that there was hope for the matter.
"Brother, I want to tear that bitch to pieces! If you can help me, I'll give you all the resources the clan receives in the future!"
"That's enough," Wang Yi interrupted him. "I'm helping you, not for your little things. I just don't want you to embarrass yourself in public anymore."
He stood up, walked to the antique shelf on one side of the study, and took out a palm-sized black metal token from a hidden compartment.
The token is engraved with a ferocious one-horned dragon, exuding a fierce aura.
"The academy stipulates that in the arena, swords have no eyes, and accidental injury or death will not be investigated, right?" Wang Yi asked with a half-smile, playing with the token.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up: "Yes! As long as we do it cleanly, and say it was an accident, the academy won't investigate too deeply! After all, the death of a civilian isn't a big deal to them!"
"Very good." Wang Yi nodded. "Take this [Sixth-Tier Unicorn Thunder Dragon Summoning Token]."
He tossed the token to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng hurriedly caught the token, feeling the terrifying power fluctuations emanating from it, and trembled with excitement.
"This...this is a sixth-tier beast?!"
"Not bad." A cold smile curved Wang Yi's lips. "A sixth-tier peak, Emperor-level aptitude sub-dragon. Most importantly, it is born with a domain-type divine skill, [Purify Magnetic Field]."
"Purify the magnetic field?" Wang Teng asked, puzzled.
"This skill can purify and dispel all abnormal spatial energy within a designated area. To put it simply, it's the nemesis of your opponent's 'gravity space'," Wang Yi explained. "After the match begins, first summon your Golden Giant Rhinoceros, then use this spirit tablet beforehand to summon the One-Horned Thunder Dragon."
"Two...two contracted beasts?" Wang Teng was stunned. "Is this...allowed by the academy?"
"Idiot!" Wang Yi cursed. "Who said that was your second contracted beast? You've been claiming to the outside world that you're a [Twin Master], just hiding your true strength. My Wang family has plenty of Twin Masters; who dares to question that? Who dares to investigate?"
Wang Teng's breathing instantly became heavy.
Twin Masters!
This is a legendary talent! The clan patriarch is the one who possesses this talent!
Even if it's fake, as long as I can win, as long as I can trample that woman under my feet and crush her into mincemeat, what does it matter if it's fake?
"A fifth-tier king-level golden giant rhinoceros, plus a sixth-tier emperor-level one, and a unicorn thunder dragon that perfectly counters the opponent..." Wang Yi looked at his younger brother's face, which was contorted with excitement, and said calmly, "If you still lose after all this, then you might as well kill yourself and never come back to see me."
"No! Absolutely not!" Wang Teng gripped the cold memorial tablet tightly, his eyes blazing with venomous and crazed light. "Brother, don't worry! In the arena, I'll make her wish she were dead! I'll tear her and her damned cat to shreds in front of the whole school!"
Wang Yi looked at him, turned around without comment, and sat back down at his desk.
"Go ahead, but don't dirty my study."
"Yes! Thank you, brother!"
Wang Teng was overjoyed and bowed as he left the study.
The study door was closed, and the room returned to silence.
Wang Yi picked up the jade ball on the table and continued to slowly rotate it.
"A mutated tabby cat... It's a pity if it really has that much potential."
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold indifference.
In this world, geniuses without connections are either recruited or stifled.
Since they've blocked the Wang family's path, they'll just have to be crushed.
