Chapter 176: It's Not a Cat, It's a Tiger! (Second update, requesting votes as usual)

"You have all worked hard these past few days. Today you can make your own arrangements; we will continue training tomorrow!"

Li Zhangsheng released all his Demon Pets. Naturally, the temporary Demon Pets only included the Paradise Bird, the Burrowing Mouse, and the three-headed snake.

As for the temporary Demon Pets captured over these three days, he intended to exchange them for cultivation resources.

The Demon Pets cheered and began to play to their hearts' content.

Aixi, the Fire Element flamingo, Day, Night, the Paradise Bird, and the Burrowing Mouse began playing a game of eagle catching the chick.

Kailan sat on the bedroom table with a stack of stiff white paper in front of her. Because her figure was too petite, she could only hold the pen with both hands and start writing and drawing on it, though it was unclear what she was drawing.

As for the "round and chubby" Fei-Li Beast, it was currently hugging its round belly, lying on the ground fast asleep.

Over these past two days, the round and chubby one had spent almost all its time sleeping, and when it occasionally woke up, it was only to look for food. It truly ate and slept, slept and ate; this carefree appearance was living more than just comfortably.

What was surprising was that the growth rate of the round and chubby one was very fast; in just two short days, its height had already reached 1.2 meters.

Waistline?

Its waistline was the same as its height; its overall image was simply that of a large meatball.

While the Demon Pets were doing their own things, Li Zhangsheng yawned and lay on the bed, not wanting to get up.

When spending the night in the wild, Li Zhangsheng had always maintained a certain level of vigilance. He slept very lightly; as long as there was the slightest movement, he would immediately wake up, terrified of being ambushed by wild Spirit Beasts in his sleep.

As for using Demon Pets to keep watch, he had naturally done that too, but Demon Pets also had times when they relaxed their vigilance; he could not place all his hopes on the Demon Pets.

Knock, knock, knock~

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Li Zhangsheng was awakened by a round of knocking on the door.

"Master, your three clansmen are outside asking to see you. Should I let them in?" The voice of the dedicated servant of the Number One Courtyard rang out.

Without Li Zhangsheng's instructions, the servants dared not let outsiders in on their own, otherwise, it would be a serious dereliction of duty; this also greatly protected the privacy of the students.

"Please let them in!"

Li Zhangsheng washed up casually. He first glanced at the position of the Sun; at this time, the Sun was already slanting to the west, and he feared it would disappear before long. This sleep had probably lasted for an hour.

While waiting, Li Zhangsheng saw Kailan drawing with great interest, as if she were so immersed in it that she could not extricate herself, so he couldn't help but come to the desk and pick up a piece of stiff paper.

This was a business card with Li Zhangsheng's name and dormitory number on it. The only thing relatively special was that a cute orange cat head was drawn on it.

Suddenly, Kailan raised her head, her brows slightly furrowed, as if Li Zhangsheng had affected her performance.

"This orange cat is quite cute! But why use orange? Why not draw Day or Night?" Li Zhangsheng tried to ease the atmosphere, praising Kailan's drawing skills loudly.

"This is Aixi. It's not a cat, it's a tiger!" Kailan rolled her eyes at him. She knew that what she drew was relatively abstract, and that tigers and cats were indistinguishable; she had stubbornly drawn the mighty and imposing Aixi as a soft, cute orange cat.

"..."

Li Zhangsheng indicated that he did not want to speak.

But just as he was about to step into the living room, suddenly, a black shadow pounced toward him from not far away. In the blink of an eye, his thigh was hugged by two chubby little short arms.

The round and chubby one raised its head, trying hard to open its squinting eyes, revealing an expression it considered cute.

Stupidly cute!

This term appeared in Li Zhangsheng's mind. The round and chubby one was not a petite and cute Spirit Beast; its meatball-like figure, gentle personality, and naively adorable image all gave people a feeling of being stupidly cute.

After these two days of getting along, Li Zhangsheng naturally understood the round and chubby one's intentions; this was nothing more than asking him for food.

The round and chubby one was very smart; in just two days, it had developed the habit of looking for Li Zhangsheng when its stomach was hungry.

"No!" Li Zhangsheng refused flatly while reaching out to pinch its soft, fatty belly; the soft and smooth touch made him feel very comfortable.

If the round and chubby one grew a bit larger, it seemed it could serve as a biological bed when traveling, provided the round and chubby one didn't roll over.

Li Zhangsheng was also helpless; the round and chubby one knew how to eat too well. If he let the round and chubby one continue to eat, there was no telling if its horizontal area would exceed its height.

By the time the round and chubby one reached adulthood, he didn't know how much food it would need every day; he even had the illusion that the round and chubby one would eat him into bankruptcy!

Being flatly refused by Li Zhangsheng, the round and chubby one had no choice but to let go of its hands and take a deep breath. As if blowing up a balloon, its round body began to become even larger.

The round and chubby one's actions were simple and easy to understand, indicating that it wanted to eat until it was full.

This made Li Zhangsheng have black lines on his forehead. Regarding this Demon Pet, he expressed that he was very helpless. The round and chubby one was really too lazy; every day, besides eating, it was sleeping, and it also resisted training, which gave Li Zhangsheng the feeling of punching into the air.

"Roll!"

Li Zhangsheng felt sullen and poked the round and chubby one's head with a finger. It immediately began to roll, and it rolled faster and faster, finally crashing directly into the backyard. Its momentum had already built up, smashing the team still playing eagle catching the chick into pieces.

Roar~ Meow~ Chirp~ Woo~

For a time, the backyard was in chaos; it couldn't have been livelier.

It was also at this time that Li Jingyi and the other two arrived at the living room, and the four sat down as host and guests.

"Alright, let's first distribute the harvest from these two days!"

Li Zhangsheng naturally understood the intentions of Li Jingyi and the other two; it was nothing more than wanting to get the cultivation resources quickly so they could improve their strength as soon as possible.

The competitive pressure in the Elite Class was very high. Even if one was selected for the Elite Class, there was a possibility of being weeded out, because the Elite Class implemented a bottom-elimination system, and the student with the worst performance would be weeded out every week.

In the Newborn Elite Class, the three of them were almost all at a lower-middle level, and the risk of being eliminated was high, so they were naturally eager to improve their strength. And the best way to improve strength in a short time was to "pay-to-win."

"These are our harvests from these two days!" The harvests of the Li Clan Four Heroes for these two days were all kept with Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng waved his Space Ring, and under the effect of his Mental Power, items flew out one by one, and soon the corner of the living room was piled full.

Among this pile of items, there was a small pile of Soul Crystals and Demon Cores, but there were more materials; the most numerous were Snake Skin and fur, and the most valuable were over a hundred Red Snake Fruits.

"Let's distribute the Soul Crystals first. I borrowed two hundred before, so if we calculate based on fifty percent, I can still get 130 Soul Crystals, right?"

"Correct!" Li Jingyi and the other two expressed no objection.

It took about half an hour for the four of them to complete the distribution of the Soul Crystals, Demon Cores, and most of the materials, with only the Red Snake Fruits remaining undistributed.
