Chapter 55

Especially the demonized sparrows—the Storm Eagle had been killing them for so long, it seemed like their numbers hadn't decreased at all!

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host! Your pet beast, Storm Eagle, has leveled up to Black-Iron Top-Grade!"

Hearing the leveling-up notification, Su Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face filled with relief.

His efforts these past days had finally paid off.

Storm Eagle's level had increased!

Glancing at Storm Eagle's attribute panel, Su Yang felt immense satisfaction.

【Name】: Storm Eagle

【Talent】:

1. Child of the Storm (Mythic); 2. Meteor from Beyond the Heavens (Mythic); 3. Eagle Eye (Common).

【Growth Potential】: Sovereign-Rank Mid-Grade

【Strength Rank】: Black-Iron Top-Grade

【Experience】: 0/3000

【Attributes】: Flight, Wind, Metal

【Loyalty】: 99

【Skills】:

1. Wind Blade; 2. Gale Speed; 3. Rapid Slaughter; 4. Feather of Gold.

In Su Yang's eyes, Storm Eagle, with two Mythic combat talents, was nothing less than a merciless killing machine!

Storm Eagle pecked at the beast cores and swallowed the beast carcasses; Su Yang stroked its black feathers and encouraged, "Storm Eagle, push harder—you'll reach Bronze Rank soon!"

Storm Eagle let out two spirited cries, bent its head, and affectionately rubbed its beak against Su Yang's face.

If Storm Eagle ascended to Bronze Rank, Su Yang's body would be greatly strengthened in a short time, making him a Bronze-Rank Beast Tamer!

Becoming a Bronze-Rank Beast Tamer would allow Su Yang to bond a second pet beast and apply for early graduation, bringing his mother and sister to live safely within Qixing City!

After Storm Eagle reached Black-Iron Top-Grade, Su Yang returned to camp and saw a group of students packing their bags—he finally realized it was time for vacation!

First Middle School Beast Tamers had no weekends or Sundays; they only got a Three-day holiday at the end of each month.

Today happened to be the day off.

Su Yang hesitated, but decided to go home for a visit.

After days of intense combat, he was tired—and missed home.

He packed his things and boarded the slow bus.

Most passengers on the bus were young Beast Tamers—likely third-year students from First Middle.

Some were dusty travelers, adventurers from near Mount Qixing.

There were also students from Class One, Third Year, all keeping their distance from him…

He paid ten Federal Coins, boarded the Earthworm Subway, transferred once more, and over an hour later, Su Yang returned to White Ant Town.

At dusk, as he gazed at the corrugated iron houses, the black smoke rising from chimneys, and the dense barbed wire fences, Su Yang felt an inexplicable sense of warmth.

When he got home and knocked, he saw his mother and sister open the door.

Su Xiaoxiao complained, "Brother, why are you only coming back now? Neighbor Zhou Hai came home long ago!"

"Yeah, it's my fault for making you wait so long."

Su Xiaoxiao flung herself into Su Yang's arms, hugging his waist and burying her head against his chest, muttering, "Since you're sincerely apologizing, I'll forgive you!"

"Yeah, Xiao Xiao is the most forgiving!"

Zhang Xiuru wiped her hands on her apron and urged, "Enough, Xiaoxiao, come help serve rice. Son, go wash your hands—we're eating!"

Sitting at the table, Su Yang held his bowl of rice, staring at the demonized sparrow meat on the plate, feeling a quiet sense of resignation.

This must be the one he killed last time!
