Chapter 101: Pet Beasts don't have any malicious intent; they just want to play

The Lijua Cat's Lijua struck heavily against the body of the Baibian Can, emitting a sound like metal clashing against jade, while sparks flew out in the process.

The Baibian Can's pupils dilated, and an excited expression appeared; this was the feeling, this was exactly the feeling.

The itchy sensation vanished, and the Baibian Can wept with joy.

The Lijua Cat, meanwhile, felt a faint vibration traveling through the webbing between its claws.

Good heavens, its defensive power is actually this strong!

Is this guy made of superalloy?

Hmph, this lady isn't a pushover; I just haven't used my full strength yet.

An astonishing aura erupted from the Lijua Cat, and its strength suddenly reached the Second Order Peak.

The Lijua on its paw pads began to extend, and the Lijua became longer and sharper, looking from afar like incredibly sharp kitchen knives.

The Lijua Cat launched a Slash Combo, striking several times in succession, each blow more ferocious than the last, sending sparks flying.

When its final blow landed on the body of the Baibian Can, the Lijua shattered instantly.

Fragments of the kitchen-knife-like Lijua were stuck deep into the ground.

Fresh blood sprayed out from where the Lijua had broken, and the Lijua Cat felt a piercing pain.

The fingers are connected to the heart; the excruciating pain arrived like wave after wave of the tide, and the Lijua Cat winced and bared its teeth in agony.

(A cat has five claws on its front paws and four claws on its hind paws.)

The Baibian Can felt that the storm-like scratching sensation had disappeared.

Thus, it raised its head in dissatisfaction and cast a scorching gaze toward the Lijua Cat.

It pointed to its own back with a bright red tongue, meaning: continue.

After seeing the Baibian Can's shameless smile, the Lijua Cat felt as if it were looking at a devil's grin, and it immediately felt like it was sitting on pins and needles.

This devil, it's completely fine, and it's even grinning at me.

The Lijua Cat was so frightened that its entire body arched up, trembling all over, with every hair on its body standing on end.

The Baibian Can hopped over step by step; those heavy footsteps were like a devil's whisper, scaring the Lijua Cat so much that it scurried away to hide under Zhou An'an's skirt.

The Lijua Cat had actually been broken by the Baibian Can!

Little An, come save me quickly!

Zhou An'an narrowed her eyes; as the Lijua Cat's Pet Beast Master, she could feel that the Lijua Cat had fallen into extreme terror.

This was extraordinary.

Her own Lijua Cat was a creature that feared nothing, so how did it suddenly break down?

Although Zhou An'an couldn't understand it, the Lijua Cat was already shaking like a sieve, and it was no longer able to continue fighting.

"Host, I concede this round."

Although the competition was important, Zhou An'an felt that the Lijua Cat was more important; it was the family member who had accompanied her the longest.

Zhou An'an placed her hand on the Lijua Cat, attempting to soothe it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, be good, let's go home."

Zhou An'an gently patted the Lijua Cat's back, coaxing it just like one would coax a child.

The Lijua Cat's uneasy emotions began to gradually calm down.

The entire audience in the stands fell silent.

How could this Baibian Can's defensive power be so terrifying? When a Second Order Lijua Cat goes berserk, its attack power is comparable to a Third Order Pet Beast.

The principal of Jiangnan No. 1 High School had a face as dark as ink, as if ink were about to be squeezed out of it; their Jiangnan No. 1 High School had prepared for so long, only to be dragged down by a Baibian Can—where were they supposed to put their old faces?

"Sun Feng and Zhou An'an are the good seedlings we have been cultivating all along, both intended for the provincial competition."

"As a result, one of their Pet Beasts has a broken leg, and the other has a crippled claw; we only have one lone seedling left this time, I hope nothing happens to him."

"That Baibian Can has been passively defending the whole time and basically hasn't attacked; we can't test its depth at all."

"It seems he is the contestant secretly cultivated by Shenshan Middle School to challenge the Yan Country competition."

"That Liu Hang, he only knows how to play these little tricks; he is quite insidious."

At this moment, sitting at his desk, Liu Hang sneezed several times in a row; he thought he had caught a cold.

The third round began quickly.

This time, Ye Bai encountered a teenager with an afro.

He had a pair of headphones hanging around his neck.

From his emerald-green pupils, one could tell that this person was a foreigner.

Seeing Ye Bai looking him up and down, the teenager smiled.

"What, do you think I'm a foreigner?"

"I, Liu Yan, am a genuine Yan Countryman; it's just that my ancestors had Persian blood."

"Right, Fire Sparrow."

A Pet Beast covered from head to toe in fiery red feathers descended from the sky.

It landed on the ground and used its sharp beak to preen its feathers.

Sparks emerged from the Fire Sparrow's feathers and landed on the ground, burning scorched black spots into it.

"Ye Bai, I have carefully studied the videos of your battles at Shenshan Middle School."

"I have to admit, your Baibian Can's defensive power is astonishing."

"But it is a natural instinct for insects to fear fire; your Baibian Can cannot violate this law."

"Unless your Baibian Can is a mutant Pet Beast."

Liu Yan stopped at the right point and did not continue.

In fact, insects also fear lightning, but the Lightning Ox returned empty-handed; Liu Yan guessed this was because the Baibian Can possessed a resistance to lightning-type skills.

Ye Bai had also studied Pet Beasts like the Baibian Can; because they possess many unstable genes within their bodies, they can also form numerous resistances.

"Go, Fire Sparrow."

The Fire Sparrow flapped its wings and flew out, and sparks bloomed in mid-air.

The Xianghuo rushed toward the Baibian Can like flying fireflies.

Liu Yan clenched his fists fiercely and shouted with all his might: "Heavenly Fire Burial!"

The Baibian Can was buried by the gathered Xianghuo.

Ye Bai was slightly speechless; it was just Xianghuo, why give it such a chuunibyou name?

However, one could tell from this skill that the Fire Sparrow's control over flames was quite astonishing.

The Baibian Can was surrounded by flames, and a look of terror appeared on its face, but soon, it discovered that this temperature was just right.

It was just like being in a sauna.

It was really great to battle here; someone to massage, someone to scratch it, and someone to give it a sauna.

I want to come again next time, so sweet, really so sweet.

Li Chen secretly observed the Baibian Can's current expression.

Seeing the Baibian Can reveal a comfortable and content look, he immediately had an idea.

The Baibian Can did not seem to fear this level of flame.

If Ye Bai could open his Insight Eye, he would be able to see that Thunder Resistance and Flame Resistance had been added next to the Baibian Can's level.

Among them, the Flame Resistance was even increasing by +1+1.

"Baibian Can, you've played enough, roll up and finish off the Fire Sparrow."

Although the Baibian Can was usually very mischievous, as long as Ye Bai gave an order, it would immediately obey.

This was the professional ethics of a Pet Beast! It was the faith the Baibian Can upheld! It was the indomitable belief of the Baibian Can!

The Baibian Can Curl its body, turning into a menacing fireball; it rolled on the ground, suddenly bounced off the ground, and slammed into the Fire Sparrow's body.

Only a crisp "bang" was heard.

The Fire Sparrow was sent flying.

However, the Fire Sparrow had not completely lost its combat ability; it flapped its wings and opened its mouth.

A tongue of flame sprayed out from its mouth, charging straight toward the Baibian Can.

The Baibian Can used an S-shaped serpentine movement to avoid the attack.

The flames landed on the ground, burning a patch of the ground black.

Afterward, the Baibian Can suddenly tapped the ground and bounced high into the air.

Before the Fire Sparrow could react, it revealed eight neat teeth and simultaneously sprayed a large amount of insect silk from its mouth.

The insect silk bound the Fire Sparrow's body, and before the fire could burn the silk, the Baibian Can performed an overhead kick, fiercely slamming the Fire Sparrow onto the ground.

Thud.

The surrounding rocks shattered, which showed how much force the Baibian Can had just used.

The host, Xiao Ni, stepped forward to check the Fire Sparrow's current state.

"The Fire Sparrow has lost its combat ability."

"Four into two, the one entering the finals is Shenshan Middle School, congratulations to Shenshan Middle School!!!"

Only then did the Baibian Can remember that it was in a battle, not at some foot bath parlor; would its flashy moves just now make Ye Bai lose face?

At this moment, Ye Bai walked up 'menacingly'; oh no, he was here to settle the score with it.

The Baibian Can fearfully covered its eyes with its tongue, but unexpectedly, a warm hand stroked the Baibian Can's head.

"Baibian Can, you did very well."

"Next time we battle, don't be so mischievous."

Pet Beasts don't have bad intentions; they just want to play.

The Baibian Can's nature wasn't bad either; it was just used to being wild and free alone before.

If you contract a Pet Beast, you must be tolerant of it, not harsh toward it.

Although the Baibian Can had many shortcomings—loving to nap, loving to play, loving to eat—in Ye Bai's eyes, these were nothing.

"Baibian Can, wait a little longer, there is one more match, and we can go home."

The Baibian Can's heart gradually warmed up; it could feel the deep bond between itself and its Pet Beast Master.

It followed behind Ye Bai, trotting along like a two-hundred-pound fat man.

The easiest road I have ever walked is the road home.

Thank you for being willing to choose me to be your Pet Beast; although I have many shortcomings, you have always been tolerant and encouraging toward me.

Arriving at the grand finals, this time the three people decided the order of appearance by drawing lots.

Li Chen was unlucky and was forced to go on stage.

Their opponents were Jiaying No. 1 Middle School.

Ye Bai had seen all of these opponents at Jiaying No. 1 Middle School before.

The leader, Meng Jia, had a Pet Beast that floated in the air, emitting purple, illusory mist.

It had a long nose and eyes as dazzling as fine sapphires.

This was a Young Dream Tapir, a light-attribute Pet Beast; its body could erupt with terrifying psychic power and manipulate opponents into falling into illusions.

Ye Bai felt that this Young Dream Tapir was very effective against Li Chen's Pet Beasts; whether it was the Boxing Rabbit or the Fighting Silkworm, both could potentially fall into the illusions carefully crafted by the Young Dream Tapir.

Unless one had extremely strong willpower, it would be impossible to break free from the illusion.

Asking for votes, asking for votes. I'm not anxious anymore; it's just a book. I'll write it well, write ten thousand words every day, release extra chapters when I'm happy, and I'll be at peace once I've tried my best.
