Chapter 10: Aixi's First Battle

At the first opportunity, Li Changsheng began to check Aixi's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Hanging-Forehead White Tiger (Infancy Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lower Rank 2

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Servant

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: White Tiger Bloodline (Inferior Quality)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wind Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Exhausted

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Thunder

The increase in realm allowed Aixi's stats to gain a certain amount of growth.

After confirming that Aixi had leveled up, Li Changsheng waved his right hand forcefully toward the sky, revealing an expression full of excitement.

As expected of a Superior Quality Spirit Beast, its potential far exceeded ordinary Spirit Beasts; in just one day, Aixi had completed a breakthrough, leaving Li Changsheng amazed.

Of course, this also had a certain connection to the Wind Element Demon Core.

"Aixi, attack the green bamboo with all your might!" In order to understand Aixi's changes, Li Changsheng pointed at the green bamboo to the side.

Roar-woo~

As Li Changsheng's voice fell, Aixi let out a low roar. Its speed was faster than before, its agile figure leaped up, and amidst the interweaving cold light, it landed lightly on the ground ahead.

Swish~ Swish~

After the attack, there were several crisscrossing scratches on the green bamboo.

There were six scratches in total, two of which were clearly deeper; it seemed that with just one more strike, it could cut the green bamboo into two sections.

The problem was, Aixi had a total of eight claws on its two paws, but there were only six scratches.

It was not that Aixi had not tried its best, but under conscious training, its offensive had become more precise; one claw from each paw hit the same spot, which would surely cause greater damage if facing an enemy.

Of course, unlike the stationary green bamboo, an enemy would be in a state of constant movement, so the difficulty would naturally be far greater.

The next moment, Aixi leaped up again. This time it did not launch a Tearing Claw, but opened its large mouth, revealing a set of Sharpness fangs, and precisely bit into one of the claw marks.

Crack!

Under Aixi's forceful Bite, the green bamboo made a teeth-aching sound, and then slowly tipped over.

Compared to before the training, Aixi's claws and fangs had become sharper, and their hardness had also gained a certain improvement.

"Well done, Aixi!"

Seeing Aixi's performance, Li Changsheng expressed great satisfaction. In just one day, the originally harmless-looking Aixi had initially formed combat power.

"Aixi, well done!"

Li Changsheng did not skimp on praise; appropriate praise could increase a Demon Pet's interest in training, thereby sustaining its attitude and drive for training, and besides, it cost Li Changsheng nothing.

After ending the training, Li Changsheng recalled Aixi into the Demon Pet Space.

In the Demon Pet Space, a Demon Pet's recovery speed is faster than in the outside world. As long as a Demon Pet is low on stamina or injured, most Monster Tamers will recall their Demon Pet and release it only after it has recovered; this is also standard procedure for a Monster Tamer.

The next day, Aixi's training was roughly the same as yesterday, still focusing on strengthening Tearing Claw and Bite.

What was different from yesterday was that Li Changsheng increased the difficulty, specifically using stones to leave marks on the green bamboo and letting Aixi attack the marks on it to improve its accuracy.

Besides that, there was angle training to ensure that Aixi could still maintain attack intensity when launching attacks from different angles.

Crack!

Several streaks of cold light overlapped and passed by, Aixi's lithe body landed on the ground, the cracking sound of the green bamboo breaking rang out, and it slowly tipped over!

"Very good, keep up this rhythm! Next, change to another angle to launch an attack; you must ensure that every attack can tear the green bamboo!"

After training for a whole morning, Aixi's mastery of Tearing Claw had risen another level; it only took one Tearing Claw to cut the green bamboo into two sections.

Roar-woo~

Aixi let out a long howl toward the sky, its eyes bright and spirited, its head slightly raised, revealing a proud and spoiled demeanor.

A Spirit Beast's thinking is relatively simple, not to mention Aixi was still very young; as long as it received Li Changsheng's praise, Aixi would be full of drive.

Under Li Changsheng's direction, Aixi began to change angles, attacking the green bamboo at a 45° angle on the left.

Due to the change in angle, although Aixi successfully hit the mark this time, it did not fully exert the power of Tearing Claw, leaving only a few deep claw marks.

Upon seeing the result, Aixi could not help but reveal a disappointed look; the mind of a Spirit Beast cub is very immature, easily excited, and likewise easily discouraged.

Seeing Aixi's expression, Li Changsheng recalled the content of the "Monster Tamer Manual" and hurriedly shouted: "Aixi, don't be discouraged, as long as you practice for a while, I believe you will be able to master it soon!"

Under Li Changsheng's encouragement, Aixi regained its spirits and once again changed angles to attack the next green bamboo.

……

Coo-coo-coo~

Near dusk, as Li Changsheng was about to end the training, his ears twitched slightly, and he vaguely heard the sound of birds chirping. He subconsciously raised his head, and through the sparse bamboo leaves, he quickly locked onto the other party's figure.

Not far away, a wild Spirit Beast was standing on the green bamboo, currently looking down at Aixi, its Bird Beak moving slightly, emitting a crisp chirp, as if it were passing judgment.

This was a bird-type Spirit Beast with a wingspan of over one meter, its whole body covered in light green feathers, and its tail had four long, deep-cyan tail feathers.

Because the Li Family Manor was located in the suburbs, it was naturally often 'visited' by some wild Spirit Beasts, mainly flying Spirit Beasts and small Spirit Beasts.

"Lark!"

At the first glance, Li Changsheng recognized the other party's identity.

The Lark is extremely common, belonging to the Wind Element Spirit Beast, known for its speed and agility. Its tail feathers are the most special; it only has one when born, and with each breakthrough, the number of tail feathers increases by one.

Judging from the number of tail feathers, this was a Lower Rank 4 Lark, its realm clearly exceeding Aixi's.

Even so, the Lark's race was extremely low, and there was a clear gap compared to Aixi.

Besides that, Aixi also possessed a huge advantage in quality, not only having an astonishing growth speed, but also being able to gain improvements far exceeding ordinary Spirit Beasts with every breakthrough.

Even if Aixi was still in the cub stage, relying on its race and quality advantages, its strength was definitely not inferior to this Lark, and perhaps it might even be stronger.

In addition, there was the command of Li Zhangsheng.

"Aixi, prepare for battle!"

Under the signal of Li Zhangsheng, Aixi instantly locked onto the skylark on the green bamboo, revealing an eager look.

Beast-type Spirit Beasts are fierce by nature; besides Fairy Food, they must be fed large chunks of raw meat every meal to maintain their ferocity.

Compared to dull training, although battle is dangerous, it is undoubtedly the fastest way for a Demon Pet to grow. In the process of life-and-death combat, they yearn to defeat their opponents; this desire can stimulate the potential of a Spirit Beast, promote its growth, and at the same time allow for the discovery of shortcomings to be remedied after the battle.

The next moment, Aixi pounced; its target was not the skylark, but the green bamboo the skylark was standing on.

Accompanied by several streaks of cold light crossing through, the green bamboo where the skylark was located instantly snapped and slowly toppled over.

The skylark was clearly startled and spread its wings, wanting to take off; once it flew into the sky, the skylark would possess an aerial advantage.

Just at this moment, Aixi used the force to leap up, fiercely pouncing toward the skylark that was about to spread its wings and fly high, revealing its sharp fangs.

Aixi's speed was very fast; in the blink of an eye, it appeared before the skylark and bit down hard.
