Chapter 88: Iced Seahorse
“Fang Yuan, are you buying a pet? Your gryphon legion is already very powerful, stronger than any pet in our shop!” Peter seemed to be very happy, because he had been educated by a home tutor for a long time, and he also did not have many friends in school. It was an extremely happy thing to be friend with a powerful trainer like Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan squeezed out a smile. Although he already knew that most probably this would be the case, he was still a little disappointed.
“Who said that our shop doesn’t have powerful pets?” Seeing that it was Peter’s friend, the owner of the shop was no longer that fierce. Instead, he said, “The person standing in front of you is in fact one of the genius youths from Demon City 20 years ago.”
Peter covered his mouth and laughed, “Uncle, it’s been 30 seconds that I haven’t heard your story about challenging the water arcane realm.”
It was of course a sarcasm.
“Humph, what do you guys know? The water arcane realm is only on the surface. What I challenged was the hidden water arcane realm. Only those who are determined to get the certification can enter the arcane realm,” the uncle said while blowing his beard, he seemed to be dissatisfied with the young man’s disrespectful tone.
Fang Yuan was shocked hearing this.
“You, you have challenged the Water Arcane Realm Certification?” Fang Yuan asked the uncle with his mouth wide open.
“Fang Yuan, my uncle loves to brag. For so many years, I’ve never heard of a hidden arcane realm in the water arcane realm.” Peter explained with a smile, thinking that Fang Yuan had been fooled by his uncle.
Initially the uncle actually didn’t want to say anything, but the moment he saw the pendant on Fang Yuan’s neck, his pupils began to shrink, and then he rushed up and grabbed Fang Yuan’s pendant. “You’ve already pa.s.sed three certification? Earth, wind, and thunder… I miss those days! Your challenge route is similar to mine!”
“Ah?” Fang Yuan felt a little strange when he heard the uncle say they are similar..
The uncle suddenly laughed and looked Fang Yuan up and down, then he said to Fang Yuan, “Your name is Fang Yuan, right? Let’s have a fight. As long as you can defeat me, I’ll tell you about the certification of the water arcane realm, and give you the pet that has received the certification. Will you accept my challenge?”
His tone was full of confidence. Peter smiled and said, “Uncle, I didn’t know that there would be such a day for you!”
As he said that, he raised his fist to cheer for his uncle.
…
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan had summoned two gryphons right in the beginning. The uncle’s pet hippo felt an extremely violent turbulence coming towards it, and was rushed out even before its huge body was able to stand firmly.
Amidst this turbulence, there was also the power of lightning. For a moment, the pet hippo was directly blown onto the wall, letting out a loud sound. There were even traces of lightning bouncing on the spot where its chest had been blown, and it fell into a coma.
The uncle was shocked and immediately ran towards his pet. Fortunately, it only fainted and was not injured seriously.
The attack just now was impressively Xiao Jin’s and Xiao Ying’s combined skill, Storm of Destruction.
Now that Xiao Ying had evolved gale, its strength had directly risen to a whole new level.
In the blink of an eye, he was defeated. Sense of powerless filled the uncle’s heart and he couldn’t help feel that he was indeed no longer young.
The uncle put his pet back into his s.p.a.ce and collapsed to the ground.
Ding…
While Fang Yuan and Peter were drinking milk tea in the pet shop, a customer came in from the door.
After a while, there was another doorbell sound and another customer came in.
They only drank three mouthfuls of milk tea in all before three customers came in.
“They’re here again,” Peter said unhappily.
Fang Yuan stared at the people at the door and asked, “Who are they?”
Just as he asked this question, he saw the uncle waving at Fang Yuan and Peter in the backyard of the pet shop, signaling them to go over.
Ignoring the customers at the door, Fang Yuan and Peter ran over,
“This is the pet!” The uncle said happily to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan walked closer and saw that it was actually a seahorse.
[ Scientific name: Iced Seahorse ]
[ Bloodline: None ]
[ Rarity: Gold low-grade ]
[ Level: Intermediate level four ]
[ Attributes: Beast, water ]
[ Positioning: Support/special ]
[ Skills: 1. Freezing; 2. Static; 3. Flexible ]
[ Personality: Tsundere ]
[ likes: ??? ]
“Uncle, you are not kidding me?”
Fang Yuan looked at the small seahorse in front of him. It seemed to be very weak in battle capability. It might not even be as strong as the hippopotamus just now. If it were to challenge the arcane realm, it would be a death sentence.
The uncle said seriously, “Fang Yuan, listen to me. The certification of water arcane realm is…”
Just as he was about to speak, the three customers just now also rushed into the backyard.
“Johnny, if you still don’t return the money, we will smash your shop. Or you can use the most valuable golden pet beast in your shop as collateral and we will forget about this matter,” the person who was leading said.
“Uncle, why don’t we give them…”
Peter seemed to have wanted to give them money, but was stopped by the uncle.
from their conversation, Fang Yuan managed to figure out the whole story.
What had happened was these few persons were local well-known ruffians.
They were considered to be relatively good trainers. They came to the shop to play the blind box game, and they kept receiving very weak pets.
They thought that the uncle had done something to the pet eggs, and was using the trash pet eggs to fool the customers.
They had been pestering the uncle to pay them for the past few days.
However, the uncle thought that he had never owe them money, and it was in fact their bad luck. He therefore refused to pay them.
The matter had been in a stalemate since then. During this period of time, they had been blocking the entrance of the shop every day, not allowing other customers to enter.
Today, they happened to be away when Fang Yuan came and walked into the shop.
“Eh? This is the treasure of your shop?”
One of the local ruffians saw the seahorse and recognized it at a glance. It was a golden pet, but just that it looked very weak.
“Hahaha, no wonder we can only buy trash pets from your shop. Even the strongest ones are just so-so.”
“Well, now I know that you didn’t trick us on purpose. But you still have to return the money to us, and we’ll call it even!”
The uncle couldn’t bear it any longer and said,
“Don’t go too far. I’m going to use my iced seahorse to defeat you! Fang Yuan, do you mind lending me the seahorse?”
Fang Yuan waved his hand and said, “No, no, I haven’t even decided to buy it yet. You can use it.”
After saying that, he found a corner in the courtyard and sat down.
“Xiao Bing, are you ready?” The uncle said.
The seahorse didn’t respond to him, but turned its face to the side.
“Hey, be serious and fight with me!”
The uncle yelled at it, then only it reluctantly turned around and faced the three hooligans.
Hehehe.
The hooligan revealed a sinister smile. “If you lose, you will refund. You said it yourself, right, Uncle?”
