Chapter 68 - (▼ヘ▼#)
The next day.
"Purple Jade is too strong; we can"t beat him even with the three of us." Yang Zhou collapsed on the ground.
"Sigh. How come our pets can"t defeat it despite being mid-level servants?" Jiang Yang sat on the floor and groaned in a female voice.
Both boys" pets had also successfully broken through to mid-level slaves this week. Since their strengths had soared, they had wanted to show off a few moves to their friend.
However, the two"s pets were defeated by the cub in an instant, and this was even with Chen Tingting"s pet"s support.
They were all very desperate. Why was the cub"s Vine Whip so outrageously powerful?
"It"s because you two talk too much nonsense and don"t grasp the opportunity to fight. With such a rookie standard, you still want to enter the Cannes juvenile team?"
The belle leaned on the pillar and fed her Blade Praying Mantis an energy medicinal cake as she poked fun at them.
"Boohoo! Sister Tingting, I like you so much, but why did you say that? Don"t you like me? I"ll wear female clothes next time, okay?" Jiang Yang scrunched up his face.
"I don"t like you anymore."
"Ah, I"m so sad." His voice turned high-pitched again as he pretended to cry.
The girl laughed playfully. "Why don"t you ask if I love you?"
He was stunned. "So do you love me?"
She shook her head. "No way!"
Jiang Yang: "…Ah, just let me die. I actually lost Sister Tingting"s heart…"
"Then why don"t you ask me if I lied to you?" The girl laughed once more.
He asked in a female voice once more, "So did you lie to me? You did, didn"t you?"
The belle shook her head. "No, I didn"t lie to you."
He collapsed on the ground in desperation.
"Hahaha! You"re an idiot. Don"t you know this storyline?" The girl snickered.
"No, it"s great that you don"t like me. I was afraid of stealing your heart. After all, I"m too handsome. Hahaha…" He laughed.
Chen Tingting: "…"
Everyone else: "…"
This androgynous boy was truly shameless!
"By the way, you both need to work harder; you"re such noobs. If this goes on, you may be kicked out of the top cla.s.s, let alone compete for the Cannes juvenile team."
Su Bai glanced at them.
"I also think that it"s good to be a little more cruel with you two. In the future, let"s not show mercy in our training. When we go out to hunt monsters, let"s find more for them to kill." Chen Rouxue also nodded.
"Yes, I think it"s necessary. You can"t push your potential without being ruthless." Chen Tingting nodded seriously, too.
Yang Zhou was speechless.
Jiang Yang was speechless.
Their happy days were over.
"I"ll listen to whatever Su Bai says; take me with you guys. I know I have to train harder, but I"m too lazy whenever I"m alone, so I can only train when I"m with you." Yang Zhou gritted his teeth.
"The same goes for me. I don"t wanna drag everyone down a lot, so from now on, I"ll be a big boss in powerful female clothing!" Jiang Yang cheered himself up.
The rest: "…"
What the h.e.l.l?
After a short break, they started training again to improve their pets" skills.
Ten years of hard work paid off for one minute on stage. If they did not practice well, they might die on the monster battlefield.
Not only just their pets, they themselves needed to be trained, too. If they really stood there directly with their pets, they might die in the wilderness and would only drag their pets down.
Purple Jade and Big Demon sparred against each other, while Chen Tingting"s pet sparred against Yang Zhou and Jiang Yang"s.
After their persistent training, the effect was truly significant, especially on the cub and Big Demon.
The fight was fierce under Su Bai and Chen Rouxue"s instructions.
Big Demon first struck forth with Hidden Shadow, then used Scary Ghost Shadow. The cub turned and fired a series of energy bullets.
With three bangs, the Big Demon gave up approaching it, turned into a shadow, and pulled away. It raised its hand to summon Shadow Energy Ball, bombarding the ground frantically. The cub reached out with Thorns Domain, dodging at a fast speed as it shot energy bullets.
...
The scene was full of gunpowder, some residue landing on the Little Conch and Small Pangolin"s side.
The commands of the two boys" were too multifaceted, and it was impossible to predict what the Blade Praying Mantis"s next moves might be, and both lads could not cooperate seamlessly to attack it.
If not for one having a high defense and the other having a fire attribute which was somewhat restrained, the two would have long been eliminated.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was 5 p.m. Both people and pets fell to the ground in the training field, exhausted and even injured.
It was of utmost importance for Pet Tamers to exercise, even more so than training pets.
In the early two years, many factions of Pet Tamers, which had only focused on training their pets, had members losing their lives to criminals or monsters in the wilderness.
"Ah, I"m going to die in bed today when I return!" Yang Zhou yelled.
"I"m the same. For the first time, it hurts." Jiang Yang winced.
Everyone looked at him.
"I mean it"s the first time I"ve trained so seriously that my legs are hurting so much." He explained himself.
Everyone: "…"
Su Bai stood up, picked up the cub, and fed it an energy medicinal cake.
"Howl! ( ̄~ ̄)"
The cub happily finished it in one bite.
"Rumble, rumble…"
The other pets all raised their heads and eagerly looked over.
"Come over and eat, too."
He glanced at these little pets. The energy medicinal cakes he had replenished spiritual power and would not matter if they ate some.
"Hehe!"
Big Demon flew over first and swallowed a lot in one bite.
Purple Jade: "→_→"
The other three obediently took a piece, but Big Demon finished a big mouthful.
"Stop pretending; hurry up and feed your pets," he urged.
"Coming!" The others all got up from the bench and took out food to feed their pets.
The atmosphere immediately livened up.
After the cub was done eating its share, it walked to the Little Conch and fished out an energy medicinal cake from its bowl.
Little Conch looked up at it, then lowered its head to continue eating.
When the Small Pangolin and Blade Praying Mantis glanced over, they hesitated slightly and decided to return a piece each to the cub.
Purple Jade eyed the energy medicinal cakes with gold and wood attributes and decided to give up on them.
"Hehehe! ─=≡Σ(((つ•̀ω•́)つ"
When Big Demon saw the cub coming over, it laughed wildly and flew in the sky with its rice bowl. It stuck its tongue out, teasing the cub~
Bang bang bang!
The next instant, a series of energy bullets flew up. The Big Demon hurriedly ate all the food before running away with its mouth bulging like a bun.
"Howl! (▼ヘ▼#)"
The cub was so furious it chased Big Demon everywhere, frantically blasting energy bullets at it.
The other three pets shrank their heads in fear, glad that they had returned the food.
"If you feel too tired, you can find some therapeutic pets. You"ll be fine after a treatment. After all, we still have the test tomorrow." Chen Rouxue glanced at Jiang Yang and the others.
"Oh, I don"t know how the test tomorrow will be as it"s different every year. So annoying," said Yang Zhou bitterly.
"What are you afraid of? They test the same content, just in different manners. You should pray that there aren"t many dark horses tomorrow. You must know, we"ve been training hard, but the others are also sprinting hard at this moment, I estimate that a large number of pets of those people in our year have broken through to mid-level servants by now, and some may even be in the high level."
Chen Rouxue a.n.a.lyzed.
"F*ck, then aren"t we dead meat?" Jiang Yang was shocked.
"No, the potential of our pets isn"t the only part being tested as the a.s.sessment isn"t all about them. You guys can still work hard, but if you really can"t beat others in all aspects, then you"ll truly make me speechless."
Su Bai encouraged them.
The furious cub returned to him, and he hugged it as he said, "We"ll leave first; see you guys tomorrow. Be careful on the road."
"Okay! Ride slowly."
"I"m leaving now, too."
