“Buddy, why aren’t you evolving yet?”
Su Bai looked helplessly at the cub.
One month later, the Jadeite Fruit, the Holy Light Spirit Grass, and the Poisonous Dragon Fruit that Su Bai had planted matured. He picked the first batch on September 1 and made a catalytic agent.
However, even after fifteen days had passed, the cub remained the same without any signs of evolution.
The only change was its breath had reached the peak of the mid-level warlord, and it might break through further to a high-level warlord at any time.
“Howl! (っ ??╭╮ ??)っ”
The cub lay on the sofa with a helpless look. It did not know why it was like this, and it was very helpless as well.
“Stop playing with your mobile phone over the next few days. Instead, plant a variety of flowers and grass. Also, interact more with flowers, plants, and trees. You can feel the rhythm of plants more. In the future, you’ll handle all the flora around us.”
Su Bai sighed and admonished as he looked at the cub’s specific information. He understood where it had gone wrong; it was because of the Purple Sparrow Tea Fruit.
The Purple Sparrow Tea Fruit regulated its body and stabilized its spiritual power, allowing it to perceive nature and to understand the law and profound meanings.
However, the guiding catalyzing agent formulated with materials such as the Jadeite Fruit, Holy Light Spirit Grass, Poisonous Dragon Fruit, et cetera, was meant to arouse the cub’s spiritual power, guiding the energy in its body to make an evolutionary breakthrough.
The two contradicted each other, and the higher-level Purple Sparrow Tea Fruit dissolved the effect of the catalytic agent, so only pure spiritual power remained useful.
This was why the cub showed no signs of evolution but had a tendency to advance at any time.
“Howl!”
Yes, I’m aware.
The cub did not mind taking care of spiritual plants. It was a wood attribute pet and was naturally close to plants. In fact, it had been planting spiritual plants and feeling the natural life’s rhythm even beforehand.
Su Bai nodded. The cub’s situation was not a bad thing. On the contrary, it was a good thing, for evolution was a matter of course after its perception of the wood element had improved.
While chewing on an ore, the Little Tyrant also nodded. It finished the last bit of ore that Chen Rouxue had given it and then suddenly burst forth with a three-colored spiritual vortex.
“Roar?”
Huh, did I just break through again?
The dino raised its little claw and took a look at itself to confirm this. Yes, it had gotten promoted to a mid-level warlord.
Thinking of this, it quickly raised its head and looked up at him. Ah Bai, am I not impressive?
Su Bai: “...”
Purple Jade: “...”
Was this the horror of being a glutton? The cub felt a sense of despair. How could it compare? All kinds of gluttons were too shameless, were they not?
The Little Tyrant only ate all day long, devouring all kinds of ores and medicinal cakes. However, the most terrifying thing was that it would break through every time it ate.
It really fulfilled the old saying that eating was a blessing.
“You’re too impressive; I’ll buy you some ores later!” Su Bai exclaimed. The physique of pets could not be generalized, so he could not do anything about the dino.
Depressed, Purple Jade returned to the laboratory and took a small shovel out to plant some spiritual plants. It lowered its head and did not want to talk to its sibling for the time being.
Shaking his head, Su Bai took out a box of potions from the laboratory and walked out.
When he arrived at the pier of the reservoir, he shouted, “Senior fox, can I come in?”
In the next moment, spiritual power penetrated the lake surface and roughly pulled him into the water.
“Senior fox, can’t you be gentler? It hurts all the time.”
He rubbed his sore shoulder.
“Cut to the chase.”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox lay in its nest and glanced at him.
The Mewling Fox and Qiu Qiu was lying next to it, and they both looked up at him in greeting.
“I prepared this potion for you; it can be used to supplement your origin. It may not be very effective, but it tastes fantastic.”
He smiled, but before he finished speaking, he was driven away by a spiritual force.
“I...”
Su Bai returned to his home on the dock and felt the sudden urge to curse. However, he did not dare to provoke the senior fox.
He originally wanted to try winning the adult fox’s favor and obtained the opportunity to take it out of town. Otherwise, it would also be nice to caress it and ride on it.
After all, it was too beautiful, especially after being infected by the blood power. It was so beautiful that he could not help but want to touch it.
“Sigh.”
Su Bai shook his head, thinking that it was impossible for now. It was not easy to use strategies on the powerful Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.
He would think about it when he became stronger.
He returned to the Azure Dragon Mound and saw the cub waving a small shovel to dig a hole with its spiritual power.
“Jade, you can just use your spiritual power to dig a hole. Why use a shovel? Isn’t it troublesome?”
Su Bai walked over and asked.
“Howl! ╮()_))╭”
No, it’s not troublesome. Life requires a sense of ritual, and digging a hole with a shovel feels more like it.
The cub continued digging without raising its head.
“Why are you digging so many holes? What are you going to plant?” he asked, eyeing the ground.
The cub had already dug dozens of pits.
“Howl! ( ?^ ?)”
I want to plant a whole mountain of flowers, and when the flowers bloom, I’ll evolve.
The cub raised its head, full of ambition.
“You can do it.” Su Bai smiled. Since he did not need the space to plant anything else for the time being, it was good for his pet to plant flowers here.
It was already afternoon when Su Bai took out a recliner and sat at the door of his villa with a book in his hand. While watching the sunset, he read a book and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
More than a month had passed; at first, large and small forces in the alliance had issued invitations to him, promising various conditions. Now, everything was back to normal.
Su Bai felt that he could venture out into the wilderness again. He decided to find a chance to venture into a monster wilderness as staying at home like this was too wasteful.
Besides better spiritual plants and fruits, pets also needed fierce battles. Their growth rate would definitely slow down if they stayed at home, after all.
...
It was nearing October, and everyone was most concerned about the five-school joint entrance examination. However, Su Bai was not involved in the enthusiastic discussions.
He really was not interested in this. The so-called five schools’ entrance examination was actually to circle a large area, then put the students from the five schools into it, and gauge their survival performance in the wild.
Everyone had a signal card, and the final outcome would depend on who obtained more signal cards.
The reason for this assessment was that the students did not have actual field combat experience, so it would train them in their ability to fight in the complex environment of the wilderness.
After all, after being cultivated by their schools, Pet Tamers would eventually head to places with extremely complicated environments, where various crises lurked. Just the experience of one-on-one combat in the school provided little help in the wilderness.
This was a novelty to the other students, but it seemed too boring to Su Bai. He had already won an opponent with an emperor pet; what experience did he lack?
Thus, he wondered if he could take time off, but he guessed that it was probably impossible. The school had not won the championship in the five schools’ joint examination for many years and definitely would not let him leave.
“I have good news for you.”
While Su Bai was worrying, Chen Rouxue walked over quickly with a stack of homework.
“What is it?”
He looked up at her.
“The exact date for the five schools’ joint exam has been released. It starts on October 1 and will end on October 30, lasting a total of one month,” Chen Rouxue said with a smile.
“How is wandering in the wild for thirty days a piece of good news?”
Su Bai was momentarily speechless.
“I haven’t finished speaking yet. Guess where the location this time is?” The girl blinked.
“Where? Could it be an actual monster wilderness?” he asked.
“You’re so smart. I’ll reward you with the chance to go on an adventure with me inside.”
Chen Rouxue giggled and continued. “Because the insect ruins in the Chinese Redbud Wilderness were completely cleared by the Hunting Hall in August, the insect queen had been eliminated; the ruins were also baptized by professional Pet Tamers for two months, so the degree of danger inside has dropped considerably.
“Thus, the location of the five schools’ joint entrance examination will be in the Chinese Redbud Wilderness. This way, everyone can understand the danger of fighting in the wild more clearly.”
“I see. That’s pretty good.”
Su Bai nodded in approval. The monster wilderness was still alright and was far better than the ordinary outside wilderness.
“Really? We can all enter the Chinese Redbud Wilderness this time?” Yang Zhou asked curiously.
The others also gathered around. They had never been in a monster wilderness before and were eager to explore one.
Since young, they had heard of all kinds of bigwigs obtaining opportunities in a monster wilderness and then soaring to the sky. This was why most people were eager to enter a monster wilderness to set out on an adventure.
“Since Rouxue said it, it must be true. Still, you must hurry up and try to make your pet break through to the warlord grade. It’s too difficult to make any progress with your current strength.”
Su Bai glanced at Yang Zhou.
“Don’t dampen my spirits.”
The latter was close to tears. The former was really asking for a beating, but he could not even beat him. It was too uncomfortable.
“You deserve it; how dare a weakling dream of such wonders? You’ll be killed in seconds inside.”
Jiang Yang also joined in.
“F*ck! Don’t think I can’t beat you, either.”
Yang Zhou moved to strangle the androgynous boy.
“You’re indecent; stay away from me!”
Knowing that he could not win, Jiang Yang let out a high-pitched cry to get everyone’s aid.
“Keep calling; it makes me more excited.” Yang Zhou revealed a twisted and perverted smile.
Chen Ruoxue ignored the intimate fight between the two people. After sending out the homework, she returned to her seat and patted Su Bai. “Actually, things are more complicated. The head teacher said that, if we help win the championship, the school can upgrade the level of our contract books and also give us precious materials.
“That’s what the school said at the meeting, so it’s estimated that they’ll talk to us later. The head teacher asked us to request for more, since the school’s treasury still has some good things.”
“I see. Don’t worry; I’m familiar with requesting for more. Let’s ask for a treasure that can promote our contract book to the gold level. At worst, it can’t be lower than three silver stars. Otherwise, we’ll ask for leave. Anyway, the rewards of this championship aren’t attractive to us at all.”
Su Bai laughed.
The biggest reward of the five schools’ joint entrance exam was obtaining a certain quota to enter the monster wilderness, which was not attractive to them, who were already members of the Cannes juvenile team.
Soon, it was afternoon class. Wang Wenyi informed everyone about the five schools’ joint examination.
“Don’t be too eager yet everyone. Even though the danger level of the monster wilderness has greatly decreased, it’s still very dangerous for you. Servant monsters can be seen everywhere, and warlord monsters are present after a few steps, too.
“With your strength, even surviving in the area designated by the school will be difficult for you.
“What you have to do now is get a copy of the Monster Wilderness Survival Handbook and read it carefully. It’s best to venture into the monster wilderness while carrying it with you.
“Moving on. Prepare the basic supplies I will write on the blackboard. These few days, we’ll also focus on teaching you how to survive inside...”
Once the class meeting ended, Wang Wenyi went to Su Bai’s side and looked at him and Chen Ruoxue. “Go to the Academic Affairs Office; the school has something to discuss with you two. Remember to be smart.”
“Yes.”
Nodding, Su Bai stood up and walked out with Chen Rouxue in tow.
When they reached the Academic Affairs Office, the dean and the leaders of several other schools were all present.
“Hello, teachers.”
Su Bai greeted them politely.
“Hello. Come over and sit on the bench. Let’s talk.” The dean was a bald man in his fifties.
He and Chen Rouxue thanked him and sat down.
“Can you let us see your pets?” asked the dean.
“No problem.”
Su Bai nodded and opened his contract book to release the cub and the dino.
“Howl?”
“Roar?”
Both pets looked at Su Bai. What’s going on? Do we have to get rid of the old men in front?
Su Bai: “...”
No, please be calm.
“Two mid-level warlords, with one being at the peak...”
The dean was quite surprised upon seeing the pets. He felt that their expressions were extremely unfriendly as they looked at him.
The other leaders were also surprised. The Purgatory Tyrant and the mutated divine spirit did not look like pets which an ordinary family’s child could have.
Furthermore, the level of training induced on them left nothing to criticize about.
They were unaware that Su Bai’s family had built a manor, or else they would not have used the adjective ‘ordinary’ to describe his family.
“Hehe!”
The appearance of Big Demon with its terrifying ghost face made the dean and the other leaders shudder.
“A high-level warlord pet...”
The school leaders nodded again and again in approval.
“You two, are you confident of taking the first and second places this time?” asked the dean.
“It probably won’t be a problem to win, but we don’t want to participate in the five schools’ joint exam. We’re all members of the Cannes team and have been to the monster wilderness many times.
“Plus, we’ve been preparing for the professional Pet Tamers exam these days, so we’re planning to ask for leave.”
Su Bai spread his hands and explained.
“Yes, time is a bit tight. We’re about to ask for leave. It’s useless for us to take the first place in the monster wilderness, and the bonus is also pitiful. It’s far less important than acquiring a professional Pet Tamer certificate.” Chen Ruoxue also spread her hands.
The dean: “...”
There was definitely a spy; these two were basically reciting the same lines.
However, they just could not help it. These two were now the treasures of the school, and they would have to depend on them to bring this school honor in the college entrance examination next year.
“Haha! You can’t say that. This one month experience is also very important, and all students must participate, so leave is not allowed.
“We asked you to come here because we want you two to work hard at winning the first and second places in the competition. You think the competition rewards are not interesting, but the school can also give you some benefits in private.”
The dean said with a smile.
“I see! Then I want a treasure that can upgrade our contract book to the gold level. Is that alright?” asked Su Bai happily.
“I also want the same.” Chen Rouxue hurriedly nodded.
The dean: “...”
