Chapter 69: He is here, it is here, it is here with great momentum

Everyone looked over; the mockery just now had come from Li Chen, who was walking onto the arena stage step by step.

But, was that Pet Beast behind him, covered in solid muscle and as Strong as Tyson, still a Boxing Rabbit?

Everyone's inherent impression of a Boxing Rabbit was still stuck on a somewhat skinny rabbit.

This Boxing Rabbit's face was covered in bulging flesh, and there was a long, narrow scar on the right side of its face, giving it a fierce and menacing appearance.

Its two thick arms were tattooed with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right.

On its hands, it wore a pair of thick red boxing gloves.

On its back, there was also a tattoo of Guan Gong with his eyes closed.

What a gangster-like Boxing Rabbit.

If Ye Bai hadn't recognized the big fat sheep Li Chen, he almost wouldn't have recognized that the Pet Beast before him was actually a Boxing Rabbit.

If this guy were to put on a pair of sunglasses and hang a heavy, thick gold necklace around its neck, it would look even more like a successful member of society.

"Ye Bai, you promised me before that you would let the Boxing Rabbit wash away its shame, so let's take this opportunity of the arena tournament to have a match."

"Let's go by our agreement from last time, how about it?"

"If the Boxing Rabbit loses, I will cover all the food for all your Pet Beasts for one year."

"If you lose, as long as your Pet Beast kowtows three loud times to the Boxing Rabbit, this matter will be considered settled."

Ye Bai thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Upon hearing this news, the Myriad-Change Silkworm should be the happiest.

In its joy, the Myriad-Change Silkworm might not even care about the battle, kowtowing a loud one to Li Chen on the spot and shouting "Foster Father!"

So he still had to keep an eye on the Myriad-Change Silkworm, not giving it a chance to mess around.

Otherwise, it would be his own face that got lost!

Ye Bai called out the Myriad-Change Silkworm, which was currently dozing off.

It smacked its lips with some dissatisfaction, seemingly blaming Ye Bai for waking it up while it was sleeping soundly.

Ye Bai didn't speak, but instead pointed in the direction where Li Chen was.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm looked in the direction Ye Bai was pointing, and oh, isn't this Brother Generous?

Is it giving me a Sapphire Carrot or a Ruby Carrot today? I can accept either; I'm not picky.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm thought of those indescribable delicacies, and tears of disappointment flowed from the corners of its mouth like a fountain.

Especially when Ye Bai told the Myriad-Change Silkworm about Li Chen's request.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm immediately showed a look of immense gratitude.

"The silkworm has drifted for half a lifetime, only regretting not meeting a wise master; if you do not abandon me, I am willing to call you Foster Father."

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Bai saw the Myriad-Change Silkworm's clear, foolish expression and its big eyes rolling around, he knew this guy had been deeply moved by Li Chen.

He kicked the Myriad-Change Silkworm's butt: "Get to work, get to work, hurry up and get to work."

"If you perform well, there will be a year of unlimited food."

"Think about those Ruby, Sapphire, and Lübaoshi Huluobo—all you can eat!"

"Maybe you'll even be able to eat one and throw one away."

Ye Bai was painting a big picture for the Myriad-Change Silkworm, and he wasn't even using his own money.

"Take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Li Chen."

"With your charm that has nowhere to hide, wouldn't turning one year into two be a piece of cake?"

The Myriad-Change Silkworm listened; that made sense!

It stuck out its tongue and used its tongue to form a thumbs-up gesture.

Li Chen watched as the human and pet plotted against him right in front of his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched immediately.

Hey, you two, that's enough!

Don't show your thoughts of treating me like a sucker so obviously in front of my face, okay?

I am generous, but I am not a fool.

"Alright, the contestants for Arena No. 1 are in place. While everyone is here, I will explain the rules of the arena tournament."

Director Su Na picked up the microphone; she intended to explain the rules of the arena tournament to everyone all at once.

"In this arena tournament, one person can only attack the defender of an arena once."

"The loser leaves the arena, and the winner defends the arena."

"The defense time is from now until six o'clock in the evening; those who successfully stand on the arena stage can achieve victory."

"Those who fail to defend the arena can go and occupy other arenas. In short, by six o'clock in the evening, the eight contestants who can stand on the eight arenas will be our candidate contestants."

"Does everyone understand?"

Su Na smiled and looked at the sea of black heads under the stage; even if they didn't understand, she wouldn't repeat it.

She wasn't going to wait on this bunch of brats.

Almost all the students nodded, indicating they understood.

"There is one more rule, which is that on the arena stage, it is not allowed to use any items."

"This includes items that increase attack power, as well as potions that restore stamina."

Adding this rule placed extremely high demands on the defending side.

The Pet Beast's strength must be exceptionally Strong to withstand the opponent's attacks.

However, Ye Bai was not worried about his Myriad-Change Silkworm.

After all, this guy's defensive power could fend off attacks from a Tier 3 Pet Beast.

And currently, most of the Pet Beasts attacking the arena were just Tier 1 small fries, making it very difficult to break through the Myriad-Change Silkworm's defense.

"Myriad-Change Silkworm, use Steel Transformation."

Ye Bai issued a command to the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm's body immediately radiated a metallic luster.

Under the sunlight, its bald, large head emitted a blinding radiance.

This was the reflection of the sunlight.

Many students, having been struck by the intense light, had tears streaming from the corners of their eyes.

"What a terrifying tactic; it hasn't even officially started, and it's already giving Li Chen and the Boxing Rabbit a show of force," someone immediately said.

"Ye Bai is using tactics so quickly; he truly lives up to being the number one in our school," someone else added.

Ye Bai!!!!

No, I just gave a hardening command, what are you all imagining? You're overthinking it.

Li Chen and the Boxing Rabbit had already put on sunglasses by this time, so the intense light radiating from the Myriad-Change Silkworm's forehead had minimal effect on them.

"Go, Boxing Rabbit, your chance for revenge has arrived."

Li Chen pursed his lips toward the direction of the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

During this period, the Boxing Rabbit had been undergoing incredibly grueling training, and the muscles all over its body had been trained to be as hard as steel.

It had mastered various boxing techniques, all for the sake of being able to defeat the Myriad-Change Silkworm one day.

"Boxing Rabbit, use Berserk, then use Baiwantun Heavy Punch."

The Boxing Rabbit took a deep breath, and the muscles all over its body emitted a crackling sound.

The Boxing Rabbit, which was originally only one meter tall, saw its upper body begin to undergo Expansion, looking just like a muscular powerhouse.

Hideous veins bulged out, looking like giant earthworms wriggling beneath the skin.

Thump, thump, thump.

The students near the arena could all hear the sound produced by the Boxing Rabbit's rapidly beating heart.

At this moment, the Boxing Rabbit was like a god or a demon; it panted heavily, walking toward the Myriad-Change Silkworm step by step.

If one were to remove its sunglasses, the students would surely discover that the Boxing Rabbit's eyes were as scarlet as a demon's at this moment.

The gaze it directed at the Myriad-Change Silkworm was filled with fury.

It was this guy that made it lose face on the spot, leading to its contract being terminated right there.

There were two people and beasts the Boxing Rabbit hated most in its heart.

One was He Qingyuan, who had abandoned it in public, and the other was the Myriad-Change Silkworm, which had made it lose face on the spot.

However, everything was over; the nightmare would fade away from it, and next, it would welcome a new life!

After the Boxing Rabbit saw the Myriad-Change Silkworm yawning and looking indifferent, its fury surged straight from its heart to the top of its head.

How could it be so indifferent? Was it looking down on it?

The fury burned the Boxing Rabbit's brain until it lost its reason.

It intended to punch the Myriad-Change Silkworm's dog head until it exploded.

Li Chen saw the Boxing Rabbit's intention, but it was already too late for him to stop it.

The Boxing Rabbit concentrated all the strength in its body onto its right fist.

The fist radiated a terrifying, blinding white light, like a rising sun; the students surrounding the arena all took a step back.

Only Director Su Na remained on the arena, watching with a calm and indifferent expression.

At this moment, the Boxing Rabbit finally arrived in front of the Myriad-Change Silkworm; it raised its thick arm and slammed a punch down at the Myriad-Change Silkworm, aiming directly for its head.

The Boxing Rabbit seemed to see the scene of the Myriad-Change Silkworm's head exploding, and a triumphant smile appeared at the corners of its mouth.

It was about to wash away its shame; it had waited for this day for a long time.

Only a loud bang was heard, but the Myriad-Change Silkworm's head did not explode as expected; it continued its unfinished yawning motion from just before.

Instead, a piercing pain shot through the Boxing Rabbit's right arm.

Its eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe that the Myriad-Change Silkworm's defensive power could be so terrifying.

The Boxing Rabbit had once tested its own strength.

In the Berserk state, using Baiwantun Heavy Punch, it could punch through and deform a half-meter-thick steel plate.

But such terrifying power could do nothing to the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

The force of action is relative.

The amount of force the Boxing Rabbit had just exerted was the same amount of force that rebounded back onto it.

A scene of déjà vu appeared.

This moment was just like what had happened yesterday.

The Boxing Rabbit closed its eyes in despair.

It had lost, lost in a crushing defeat.

It was sent flying backward again, smashing into a wall not far away.

Bang.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere; the Boxing Rabbit was deeply embedded in the wall, its right arm hanging limp, the bones inside clearly broken into several pieces.

The wall was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

The entire audience was silent; it was truly terrifying.

Just a moment ago, they had all been sweating in their palms, and everyone felt that the Boxing Rabbit would be able to blow up the Myriad-Change Silkworm's head with one punch.

But the result was the exact opposite: the Myriad-Change Silkworm was safe and sound, while the Boxing Rabbit had been knocked flying.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm continued to yawn and smack its lips; the spot where the Boxing Rabbit had struck it didn't even have a single red welt.

At this moment, it suddenly revealed a puzzled expression.

Huh, where did the Boxing Rabbit go?

Is it over?

Wait, I remember something seemed to fly out just now.

Following everyone's gaze, the Myriad-Changing Silkworm saw the Boxing Rabbit embedded in the wall.

The Boxing Rabbit was deeply embedded in the wall in a spread-eagled position, blood seeping from its body; its head hung low, and it was impossible to tell if it was dead or alive.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm's eyes widened.

I defeated it just like that; I hope Foster Father isn't angry.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm looked at Li Chen with some trepidation.

Li Chen was expressionless, just frowning slightly.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, my long-term meal ticket didn't run away.

Once its mood relaxed, sleepiness crept in.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm had exhausted most of its stamina yesterday, and today it had just been sleeping when Ye Bai called it out.

It was so sleepy it was about to doze off, its eyelids drooping silently.

The Myriad-Changing Silkworm's energy was depleted, and it finally couldn't hold on any longer.

A deafening snore erupted from the Myriad-Changing Silkworm's mouth.

Everyone saw a huge, transparent bubble emerge from the Myriad-Changing Silkworm's nostrils.

A drop of crystal-clear liquid flowed from the corner of its mouth; it was sleeping very soundly.

Hey, hey, hey, this is a king-of-the-hill match; is it really okay for you to slack off in broad daylight?

"Ye Bai, why don't you wake up your Pet Beast."

"If it falls into a sleeping state, it will be easier for other Pet Beasts to defeat it."

Even Su Na couldn't watch anymore and tactfully advised Ye Bai.

But Ye Bai shook his head.

"Director Su, my Myriad-Changing Silkworm has a bad temper when woken up; if I wake it up rashly, it will definitely throw a tantrum."

"I'm just afraid that if the Myriad-Changing Silkworm gets angry and starts slaughtering everyone, that wouldn't be good."

"I'd better save some face for the students."

"The competition rules don't state that a defending Pet Beast can't sleep, right?"

Su Na was momentarily choked for words, though it was true that no such rule had been established at the time.

Very well, later I will take out a pen and add the 32nd rule for king-of-the-hill matches: during the defense, the defending Pet Beast is not allowed to sleep.

Su Na roared inwardly, gritting her teeth.

Li Chen's expression was rather ugly at this moment; the Boxing Rabbit had used Baiwantun Heavy Punch, but ended up being the one sent flying instead.

The force of action is equal and opposite; it seems the defensive power of Ye Bai's Pet Beast is quite astonishing.

With the momentum the Boxing Rabbit had just now, even a thick steel plate could have been pierced through by its punch.

To think it couldn't do anything to a small Pet Beast, Li Chen was also somewhat speechless.

He walked off the stage and came to the side of the Boxing Rabbit.

At this moment, the Boxing Rabbit had already opened its eyes, wearing a dejected expression of hopelessness.

It lost; it lost again.

It had lost to the Myriad-Changing Silkworm once more, which caused the Boxing Rabbit great psychological trauma.

Am I really that bad?

After training so hard for so long, I still couldn't break through that Pet Beast's defense.

The Boxing Rabbit began to lose confidence again.

At this moment, Li Chen pushed through the crowd and slapped the Boxing Rabbit heavily on the face.

With a loud "slap," a red handprint appeared on the Boxing Rabbit's face.

The Boxing Rabbit was stunned.

"Boxing Rabbit, what are you lost in? You coward."

"It's just a small failure, what are you so depressed about?"

"If you want to prove your own strength, it's not that complicated."

"Defend the stage, get back on the stage; as long as you can hold on until the last second, you are the MVP in my heart."

"Who are you putting on this pathetic display for? You were the one who looked down on yourself first."

The Boxing Rabbit looked at its own drooping right arm, and a piercing pain shot from its right arm.

Its right arm was already broken, broken along with its confidence and its future.

It could no longer stand up, just like its life—unable to recover.

No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't defeat the opponent.
