Chapter 172: This Wimp's Pay Isn't Worth Earning!!!
"Gale Sparrow, Wind Blade!"
The cyan Gale Sparrow spread its wings, which reached a length of 1.5 meters.
It hovered in the air.
One could see Wind Blades gathering on its wings, emitting a cyan light.
The Gale Sparrow flapped its wings violently, and narrow, crescent-shaped cyan Wind Blades flew out.
The Wind Blades descended like a torrential rain, a truly spectacular scene.
The body of the Myriad-Change Silkworm erupted with a brilliant silver-white light; it was continuously stacking and strengthening itself.
The silver-white light radiating from its body was like the bright, clear moon.
Steward Wang, along with a group of guards, was blocking the enthusiastic students.
Most of the students were fanatical fans of Ye Bai and Gao Tu.
After all, one was the champion of the provincial-level Young Kirin Cup, and the other was the champion of the provincial-level Phoenix Chick Cup.
This was a battle between kings.
The scorching sun beat down on Steward Wang's weathered face.
His face was tanned dark by the sun, with a hint of grease glistening on his skin.
The neat suit he wore was already crumpled and wrinkled from being rubbed.
He was full of sorrow; the sun was already so high, yet he still had to brave the heat and follow a group of guards to maintain order.
Why was he putting himself through this?
Life is short; one should enjoy it while they can.
Just how much had he lost his mind, or what strange hobby did he have, that he would end up being a steward for such a family?
How long had it been since a happy smile graced his face?
He played both father and mother every single day, juggling multiple roles, only to be oppressed by this wealthy young master with his grand, arrogant airs.
This salary, it wouldn't be a loss to give it up.
Steward Wang planned to quit after this month; being a beast of burden every day, reeking of corporate drudgery—this "wimp's pay" wasn't worth earning.
He planned to rise up in rebellion and shout, "How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan!"
Several one-meter-long cyan Wind Blades whistled as they slashed toward the Myriad-Change Silkworm.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm kicked off the ground, leaped into mid-air, and its body collided heavily with the Wind Blades.
A crisp "clang" was heard.
The Wind Blades shattered directly in mid-air.
"I had long anticipated that your Pet Beast would use this move."
"I have watched every video of your previous battles in detail."
"Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle; that is why I was able to become the Phoenix Chick Cup champion."
"Gale Sparrow, Kuafeng Zhan."
The crescent-shaped Wind Blades condensed together, growing larger and larger.
Three terrifying Wind Blades shot down from the Gale Sparrow.
The target was precisely the Myriad-Change Silkworm's shiny forehead.
"Hahaha, your Pet Beast is about to be cut down by my Gale Sparrow."
Gao Tu said with extreme arrogance.
He did have the capital to be arrogant.
The Gale Sparrow was a Pet Beast he had cultivated using the best resources, with combat power comparable to a Tier 4 Pet Beast.
Therefore, Gao Tu never imagined that the Myriad-Change Silkworm could block it.
Against a Tier 2 Pet Beast, the Gale Sparrow could finish it off with a single strike.
Ye Bai smiled without saying a word; it was merely a Tier 3 Gale Sparrow.
This was nothing; the Myriad-Change Silkworm's opponents were existences on the level of the Sunflower Emperor and Dahui.
To be honest, in Ye Bai's eyes, the Gale Sparrow's attack methods seemed a bit too childish.
So Ye Bai didn't even need to give an order; the Myriad-Change Silkworm could handle it on its own.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm curled its body in mid-air and performed a high-speed rotation.
It wove through the three Wind Blades like a ball.
Transparent silk threads then spread into the air.
Under the sunlight, these transparent insect silks were completely invisible.
However, Gao Tu was able to become the first-place winner of the Phoenix Chick Cup, so he did have some real skills.
Under the Gale Sparrow's manipulation, the Wind Blades actually changed direction, and the number of Wind Blades became increasingly large.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm found it increasingly difficult to dodge.
"Gale Formation."
"In this environment, your Pet Beast cannot escape the pursuit of the gale."
"Surrender obediently; as long as you admit that your skills are inferior to mine, I will let your Pet Beast go."
Gao Tu said with extreme arrogance.
Li Chen looked at the Gale Formation with resentment; his Boxing Rabbit and Fighting Pupa had been defeated by the Gale Formation back then.
This skill was too monstrous; the Wind Blades poured down like a landslide, wave after wave, leaving no chance to even catch one's breath.
He just wondered what method Ye Bai would use to break this move.
At the very least, Li Chen was at his wit's end.
"Surrender? Why should I surrender? Just because your lips flap open and shut, I have to surrender?"
"You think too highly of yourself."
Ye Bai gave Gao Tu a sharp, cutting look.
"Li Chen, you must remember, if you lose, you have to reflect and summarize it yourself."
"This is the first time I'm helping you, and it's also the last."
Ye Bai was forced into this situation against his will this time, and he felt secretly annoyed inside.
He had originally intended to organize things and publish his paper on the Diamond Butterfly.
As a result, he was dragged here, and whether he won or lost, there was no great benefit to Ye Bai.
Li Chen, however, very sincerely admitted his mistake.
After all, he did not want to lose this friend.
"Hmph, you're so stubborn; didn't your classmate act just as stubborn before, only to beg for mercy in the end?"
Gao Tu said coldly, which irritated Li Chen until his face turned red.
After all, he had indeed lost, and Gao Tu saying this was equivalent to dragging him out and whipping his corpse repeatedly.
"But looking at you, you probably won't give up until you hit the Yellow River."
"Gale Sparrow, Gale Burial." The Wind Blades coiling around the Gale Sparrow fell one after another like raindrops.
They attacked the Myriad-Change Silkworm from all directions.
If they hit the Myriad-Change Silkworm, they might directly hack it into countless pieces.
"Hahaha, I'll see how long you can keep talking tough."
Endless Wind Blades fell one after another onto the body of the Myriad-Change Silkworm.
The body of the Myriad-Change Silkworm emitted a clanging sound.
The violent Wind Blades were actually blocked by the Myriad-Change Silkworm.
The Wind Blades shattered one after another, and the scattered Gale immediately dispersed.
The skill Gale Burial was broken by the Myriad-Change Silkworm.
"How is it possible to have such a terrifying physical body? What kind of miracle fertilizer did your Pet Beast eat to grow up?"
"How is the defense so astonishing?"
"Your Pet Beast is definitely not Tier 2."
Gao Tu revealed an expression of disbelief.
As the top dog among Tier 3 Pet Beasts, the Gale Sparrow's full-force attack could even injure a Tier 4 Pet Beast.
Yet, under this full-force strike, the Myriad-Change Silkworm didn't even have its defense broken.
"Your Pet Beast is Tier 3."
"Damn it, the intelligence gathered was wrong."
"Forget it, even if your Pet Beast is Tier 3, so what?"
"My Gale Sparrow occupies a sufficient advantage."
A glimmer of sharpness appeared in Steward Wang's eyes.
This guy Gao Tu was afraid he had thought of Ye Bai too simply.
Back then, the He Family couldn't do anything to Ye Bai, and even let Ye Bai carve out a bloody path by force.
It was fortunate he left early, otherwise the He Family would have blamed their bankruptcy on him being astrologically incompatible with the He Family.
Heaven knows what those people in the He Family could do after going bankrupt.
Steward Wang's eyes revealed an expression of relief, though he also noticed Gao Tu glare at him.
Gao Tu was clearly blaming him for giving the wrong intelligence.
Based on professional ethics, Steward Wang forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Ye Bai was not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry; he was the champion of the Young Qilin Cup, and a lot of his data had been covered up by others.
Don't even think about how difficult it was for him to get this data.
I'm done, I won't be this beast of burden anymore.
The more Steward Wang thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Gale Sparrow, use Sharp Beak Drill."
"I don't believe that this Pet Beast's head can be harder than a drill."
The Gale Sparrow flapped its wings violently, and endless wind swirled within them.
A tornado connecting to the sky appeared.
It let out a roar like an angry dragon.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm's mouth opened wide, and a look of curiosity flashed in its eyes.
It had never seen such a fun thing before.
The Gale blew with a whistling sound, sand and stones flying; it was quite lively.
The Myriad-Change Silkworm also spat out strands of transparent insect silk from its mouth.
It watched the insect silk get rolled into the storm, a smug expression appearing at the corner of its mouth; this round was secure.
What it saw in its pupils was a massive tornado falling from the sky, slamming toward it like a baring-fangs-and-brandishing-claws divine dragon.
The wind-breaking dragon opened its mouth and swallowed it whole.
A black shadow pecked heavily onto the skull of the Myriad-Change Silkworm.
The Gale blew so hard that everyone around closed their eyes.
Only Gao Tu remained looking up at the sky, laughing loudly.
"Ahahaha, did you see that? This is the consequence of offending me."
"What kind of bullshit Young Qilin Cup champion? How could someone who does research possibly beat the Pet Beast I meticulously trained?"
"Isn't this a joke?"
"If your skills are inferior to others, just go home and read more books; don't make a fool of yourself."
"Thanks to you, your Pet Beast is about to be killed by me right here."
"You wouldn't hold a grudge against me, would you?"
Gao Tu laughed aloud.
Being able to trample a genius under his feet made him feel comfortable.
Ye Bai, however, looked indifferent, because he knew the Gale Sparrow could not break through the defense of the Baibian Can at all.
The Baibian Can is basically invincible in defense among the same rank; unless a Pet Beast of the third rank or higher takes action, it simply cannot be harmed.
After the tornado dissipated, everyone saw the Gale Sparrow spinning rapidly on the head of the Baibian Can.
Sparks kept popping out from where the two collided.
"I didn't see that wrong, did I? This Baibian Can actually withstood it head-on."
"You certainly didn't see it wrong; this guy's defensive power is quite terrifying."
"My god, Gao Tu has lost all face."
Gao Tu felt as if his face had been slapped hard twice.
He pushed his cheek with the tip of his tongue.
That move just now was already considered the Gale Sparrow's strongest move, utilizing the power of the storm to augment the Sharp Beak Drill skill.
Yet, even that could not break through the defense of the Baibian Can.
This guy is much more capable than imagined.
"Gale Sparrow, fly up."
Gao Tu rubbed his throbbing temple, his gaze falling upon Ye Bai.
Not a hint of excitement could be seen in Ye Bai's eyes; on the contrary, he was very calm, as if he didn't care about this match at all.
"Is it because you feel you can steadily defeat me, so you don't mind at all, right?"
"So you don't issue a single command, letting the Pet Beast perform freely."
Gao Tu chuckled; he was laughing out of anger.
Very well, he had been completely looked down upon by his opponent.
