Chapter 20: What Kind of Strange Skill Is This

A rich, fragrant scent wafted from the backpack; the Boxing Rabbit's nostrils twitched as it sniffed the pleasant aroma, and the fatigue of the past few days was dispelled.

"When I'm unhappy, I like to eat; eating makes me forget all my troubles."

"I know you were abandoned and you feel deeply resentful, but don't hurt your own body. You should stand before him again and defeat his next Pet Beast in front of everyone."

"Make him feel that abandoning you was a choice he will regret for the rest of his life."

"That is the real way to slap him in the face; don't you think that would be more interesting?"

These words were like a beam of light tearing through the endless darkness, shining into the Boxing Rabbit's parched heart.

That's right, why vent one's anger by harming one's own body?

The body is one's own; damaging it too much would harm the foundation.

This ran contrary to the path of martial arts it had originally sought to pursue.

If it lived so poorly, perhaps the person who abandoned it was secretly laughing at its stupidity.

No, it must pull itself together, nourish its body, and then personally defeat its opponent with these iron fists.

The Boxing Rabbit raised its fists, and a gray metallic glow flashed across them.

If Ye Bai were on the scene, he would discover that besides the Berserk skill, the Boxing Rabbit had also mastered the Iron Fist skill.

After the Boxing Rabbit untied its mental knot, a long-lost smile appeared on its face.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Only then did the Boxing Rabbit realize it hadn't eaten for a long time; it opened its backpack, picked up a Ruby Carrot of excellent quality, and began to chew it down, even choking because it ate too fast.

Its face turned red in an instant.

"Come, try this, Golden Coconut Water."

Li Chen took a gold-inlaid bottle from his Space Bracelet; it was filled with a crystal-clear liquid.

Watching the interaction between the person and the Pet Beast, a gratified smile appeared on Li Defu's face.

"Head of the family, this Boxing Rabbit was just abandoned by someone not long ago."

"Its psyche must have suffered great trauma."

"Would it be better to suggest the young master change to a different one?"

The butler standing to the side said with some concern.

Li Defu shook his head: "No need, he's the one. This is the first time I've seen a warm smile on Li Chen's face."

"To be able to abandon such a good Pet Beast, that person's judgment is flawed."

Thus, Li Chen contracted this Boxing Rabbit and became its Pet Beast Master.

The talent Li Chen awakened is called Fearless; it sounds very high-end, but this talent is not very useful.

Fearless simply means having a lot of guts.

However, according to scientific research, this talent can currently only be applied to oneself.

In other words, this Fearless Aura can only be used by himself; not even his Pet Beast can share his talent.

Therefore, this talent is rated as an E-Grade Talent, one rank lower than Ye Bai's Photographic Memory.

The reflection ends here; one can only say that the compatibility between the Boxing Rabbit and Li Chen is extremely high.

Zhang Lingxue summoned a second-rank Vine Cat.

This Pet Beast had a circle of vines around its neck, and white flowers bloomed on the vines; from a distance, it looked just like a lion's mane.

Its two large eyes looked as clear and bright as fine emeralds.

"This is the Vine Cat I just raised."

"A second-rank Pet Beast, but don't worry, I won't let it use its full strength to attack you." The Vine Cat looked very well-behaved; it was licking its Zhua on the ground.

Afterward, its Zhua carved lines into the ground; it could be seen that its Zhua were quite sharp.

If they landed on the Thousand-Change Silkworm, they might leave a deep wound.

"The Vine Cat is so cute!"

Girls are born liking such fluffy things; they have no resistance to cuteness.

"There are very few Vine Cats; where did Teacher Zhang capture it?"

"This should have been provided by the Research Institute above."

"After all, Teacher Zhang discovered Li Weiyang's talent; it is highly likely she was given this Vine Cat as a reward."

Zhang Lingxue is currently a Third-rank Pet Master and can generally contract three Pet Beasts.

"Compared to the cuteness of the Vine Cat, Ye Bai's Thousand-Change Silkworm is much more wretched; it feels very vulgar." Suddenly, someone among the girls spoke up, shifting attention to Ye Bai's Pet Beast.

"Yeah, isn't Ye Bai destroying his own image by choosing this Thousand-Change Silkworm? Drooling and smacking its lips, it's disgusting enough," a girl to the side said.

"I couldn't bear to have such a Pet Beast in my hands; I would be so desperate," another girl added.

The thick-skinned Thousand-Change Silkworm didn't hear a single word.

It rubbed its half-full belly with its tongue, intending to end the battle quickly.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm was afraid that if the fight dragged on, Li Chen would finish the carrots in his hand, and it would cry itself to death.

It raised its copper-bell-sized eyes and stared fiercely at the Vine Cat.

Burn, my little universe! It was this guy in front of me who interrupted my meal; otherwise, I could have begged for a few more carrots from Li Chen.

Although the Thousand-Change Silkworm didn't know how much these carrots cost, it knew this stuff wasn't cheap.

Given the Pet Beast Master's current net worth, he probably couldn't buy many carrots.

Whoever blocks my meal dies! The soul of a foodie awakens! The aura on the Thousand-Change Silkworm rose infinitely; the Vine Cat felt two eye-daggers piercing its body.

It couldn't help but swallow its saliva; as a second-rank Pet Beast, it was actually intimidated by the aura of a first-rank nobody—this was a bit excessive.

Zhang Lingxue could see that the Vine Cat was suppressed in aura by the Thousand-Change Silkworm, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Could this be the Thousand-Change Silkworm's hidden ability? "Vine Cat, use Seed Shot."

"Let's test the Thousand-Change Silkworm's defensive power."

This battle was also a good opportunity for Zhang Lingxue to test the Thousand-Change Silkworm's physical data.

She wanted to figure out what the difference was between the Thousand-Change Silkworm and the Baibian Can.

The Vine Cat opened its pitch-black mouth and spat out a green seed.

The speed of the seed was extremely fast, and before the Thousand-Change Silkworm could react, it struck the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

Just as everyone heard a 'clang' and thought the Thousand-Change Silkworm was about to be defeated, the Thousand-Change Silkworm used its tongue to scratch the spot where it had just been hit by the Seed Shot, and there wasn't even a white mark.

Just a moment ago, it had secretly broken into a cold sweat; this move looked very strong and was full of momentum, but in the end, it was just like a mosquito giving a light bite.

No, its whole body was itching, and it wanted to scratch itself.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Thousand-Change Silkworm lay on the ground, rubbing its back against the floor with a look of comfort on its face.

The seed that had been deflected was deeply embedded in the wall, and at the same time, a wisp of white smoke rose from it.

Everyone had an expression of disbelief; are you kidding me, this Pet Beast's defensive power is that strong? What kind of move is it lying on the ground and rubbing its back? Could it be that it strengthens its defense through this move?

After hearing the voices of his classmates discussing, Ye Bai silently covered his forehead; after these few days, he already knew the Thousand-Change Silkworm's nature.

Can I tell you all that the Thousand-Change Silkworm just purely wanted to scratch an itch?

If I did that, would I still have any face left, and would I still be able to get by at Shenshan No. 1 Middle School? (End of chapter)
