Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

87 There Must Be Something Wrong with Xu Yuan

“Xu Yuan, it’s confirmed!” said Su Wan excitedly. “The Inter-Campus Tournament will be held in a week!”

She felt a little disappointed because Xu Yuan had turned back into a dragon.

After a while, Shi Linglong arrived for a visit. Su Wan thought that it was just as well that Xu Yuan was no longer in his human form, at least in front of Shi Linglong. Su Wan was the only one who had seen Xu Yuan’s human form. She didn’t want others to see him in his human form because it would attract unnecessary attractions.

However, after turning back to the dragon form, Xu Yuan seemed unwilling to change into human form ever again.

He yawned. “The Inter-Campus Tournament is about to begin. Why don’t you hurry and level up by killing some monsters? Look at you, you aren’t even Level 30 yet.” He lazily draped himself on the throne.

Su Wan found it strange that Xu Yuan had begun to encourage and push her to level up. He was nagging at her like her mother. She felt that Xu Yuan was planning something again.

She decided to not do what he told her to do. Instead, she wanted to investigate and see what he was up to this time.

When she didn’t cooperate, Xu Yuan urged her even more.

As time passed, the final rules of the Inter-Campus Tournament were released and Top Ten contestants were confirmed.

There were a total of ten arenas, each scattered in a vast space. In the arenas, ten schools would compete, and only one would win.

Su Wan was explaining the rules of the Inter-Campus Tournament to Xu Yuan. However, Xu Yuan was a little absent-minded today.

At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts on how to trick Su Wan to gain more experience.

“Scammer Xu, don’t turn into a human in the arena!” said Su Wan suddenly.

Xu Yuan was confused. She was always eager for him to turn into human form. However, now she was dissuading him from doing so. Anyway, he didn’t care much about his human form and had no intention of turning into a human for now.

Xu Yuan didn’t really want to turn into a human if he could help it. The cause for this was Su Wan. When he was in his dragon form, he felt normal. However, when he faced Su Wan in his human form, it felt strange.

If he turned into a human, a man and a woman would be all alone in the throne room. The presence of a dragon and a Lord didn’t seem too strange. Su Wan was embarrassed that she had told him not to transform. However, Xu Yuan didn’t seem to care, so she felt relieved.

Su Wan tried to talk about something else. “Just don’t transform into a human in the competition. The school has decided to organize a mock tournament for the ten contestants to participate in. It is done to ensure that we will be well-prepared for the actual Inter-Campus Tournament.”

“The mock tournament will be held in a grassy plain in the Overlord Plane,” she said. “In the Inter-Campus Tournament, the ten contestants from our school will have to form an alliance to fight against those from other academies. This will be a good opportunity to learn how to cooperate with each other.”

Xu Yuan looked at her in surprise. She had expected this reaction from him. However, he yawned and then pretended to be indifferent again.

“A mock tournament?” he said lazily. “Boring. If you have so much time on your hands, why don’t you go kill more barbarians?”

The mock tournament was of no interest to him. Xu Yuan felt that it was useless. That time could be used more productively to kill barbarians and gain experience points.

The barbarians didn’t provide many experience points. However, they were easier for Su Wan to fight with. Besides, the experience points would be returned a hundredfold to Xu Yuan. So, he encouraged her to fight.

“You are so lazy!” said Su Wan. “Why not try to befriend other Lords and their heroes? Try to build a network. Don’t just sleep all day long!”

Su Wan had put up with his constant nagging to kill monsters and level up. She was sick of it. Now that she had an opportunity, she wanted to teach him a lesson. She wanted revenge!

“Boring,” said Xu Yuan. “I don’t befriend the weak.”

Su Wan felt that he was very arrogant. “Scammer Xu, you not only trick people but also underestimate everyone else. Don’t underestimate others!”

“I heard that there’s a very powerful hero among the contestants from our academy. He is already Level 50!” Su Wan thought that Xu Yuan might be a little motivated and driven if he knew that there was another strong hero in the group.

Xu Yuan, who was already at Level 61, didn’t bother to respond. Su Wan assumed he was shocked because of the information, so he was quiet.

“Don’t worry too much, Xu Yuan,” she said. “That hero’s Lord is a senior student in the academy. They had more years to grow than us. We can surpass them next year!” Su Wan’s small fist clenched tightly.

Although she had remarkable achievements in the battles she had fought till now, she still felt like she had a lot to do. She didn’t think she could match the senior students’ level. Su Wan was naturally very modest.

The other contestant had become a Lord earlier than her. They had a good foundation and must have accumulated a lot of resources. She felt like she could not compare to them.

Moreover, the academies in the Inter-Campus Tournament always relied on their senior students to win. She couldn’t fight against the other academies all alone.

…

The mock tournament began the next day. Su Wan and the others who had made it to the Top Ten gathered. They would head to the grassland to fight against the Beastmen Tribe. This mock tournament was specifically designed to help work together as Lords.
