《Divine Pets Era: My Pet Is Super Fierce!》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s wait a little longer. Zhang Yi is on his way,¡± a classmate said. Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The door was pulled open from the outside. A thin youth was holding the door with one hand and the other on his waist, his chest heaving up and down. ¡°Teacher¡­ No¡­ I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m late.¡± He panted heavily as he finished his sentence. The rest of the class immediately jeered at his lateness. ¡°He¡¯s late for such an important day, he doesn¡¯t even care about it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, he made so many people wait for you for a full ten minutes, are you embarrassed?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! In my opinion, he should be disqualified from the test!¡± There were also quite a number of students who spoke up for the youth. ¡°Are you in a hurry? You can¡¯t even wait for ten minutes?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The teacher didn¡¯t say anything, so what are you blabbering about for!¡± Just as the two sides were about to start quarreling. A gentle voice sounded. ¡°Student Zhang Yi, come in and take the test.¡± ¡­ Five years ago, there was an earth-shattering change in Qixing. The originally blue sky suddenly darkened, and a huge black hole appeared in the sky. Countless demon beasts instantly surged out of the black hole. Because of the sudden arrival of these demon beasts, Qixing¡¯s environment also underwent a huge change. All the plants, animals, and plants were growing crazily. They kept mutating, evolving, and upgrading, becoming all kinds of strange demon beasts. The only thing that did not change were the humans. When humans thought that they were abandoned by the world, some people discovered that their bodies had changed. There was a secret hidden in the deepest part of the human soul ¡ª the soul contract. Humans could sign a soul contract with demon beasts, allowing them to become their subdued beasts. Then, humans would become existences that could control their subdued beasts ¡ª beastmasters! Most importantly, as long as one¡¯s soul strength reached a hundred, they would have the qualifications to become a beastmaster and be able to have their own subdued beasts. Now, beastmasters had become the most dazzling and important occupation in Qixing! Everyone wanted to become a beastmaster, to have their own subdued beasts. Today was the day the entire second year of high school would be tested to see if they had the qualifications to become a beastmaster. After all, this was a hundred times more important than the college entrance exam! Other than Zhang Yi, all fifty students in the class had gone through the test, and only five of them had the qualifications to become a beastmaster. From this moment on, they would no longer worry about the college entrance exam, and the excitement in their hearts would not subside for a long time. Those who had not passed the test cast envious looks at them. For today¡¯s test, Zhang Yi had specially put on the relic his parents had given him. He wore a ring on his left index finger. He twirled the ring, hoping that his parents would bless him. Please let him obtain the beastmaster qualification! Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Zhang Yi came to the front of the podium. In front of Ou Yunhui was a transparent crystal ball. This crystal ball was still faintly emitting light. This was a crystal ball that could test the strength of the soul. It was a kind of mutated mineral. A snake that was less than 20 centimeters was coiled around her wrist. It was her divine pet, the Caracorn Snake. Although it was small in size, it obediently coiled around her wrist. Zhang Yi had seen it swallow a three-meter-tall explosive bear with her own eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Put your hand here.¡± Ou Yunhui¡¯s gentle voice sounded. Hearing her words, Zhang Yi nodded and put her right hand on the crystal ball. Her left index finger was wearing the ring left by her parents. He closed his eyes and began to feel it with his heart. Unexpectedly, an electric current passed through his entire body, and a strange space opened up in his mind. In the middle was a sky-blue color, and his surroundings were filled with gray fog. At the same time, he felt that his ring had disappeared. Something surged into his left eye. Zhang Yi was shocked. What was going on? The ring was gone! He opened his eyes, and a dazzling white light flashed past. Everyone heard a ¡®kacha!¡¯ sound. Zhang Yi was stunned. The crystal ball had shattered! It had shattered! The classroom was filled with exclamations and everyone began to discuss. Even the calm Ou Yunhui was stunned on the spot. ¡°What¡¯s going on! How did the crystal ball shatter!¡± ¡°It must be because the strength of the soul is too high that the crystal ball shattered!¡± ¡°Oh my god! Does this count as passing?¡± Ou Yunhui snapped out of her daze and coughed twice, signaling for everyone to calm down. Then, she looked at Zhang Yi and said, ¡°congratulations, Zhang Yi. You have the qualifications to be a beastmaster.¡± When the entire class heard the teacher¡¯s words, they immediately looked at Zhang Yi enviously. They did not understand why Zhang Yi, who was late on the day of the test, was actually qualified to be a beastmaster. Ou Yunhui looked at Zhang Yi, who was rooted to the spot, thinking that he was frightened. She immediately asked, ¡°Zhang Yi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± However, Zhang Yi was not frightened by the crystal ball¡¯s explosion. Instead, a strange data box appeared in his right eye. All of Ou Yunhui¡¯s data was displayed in the data box. [Name: Ou Yunhui] [Age: 24] [Level: S] [Status: Worried] [Weakness: Forceful submission] Looking at the data, Zhang Yi was a little confused. What was this about? What could it do? Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and looked at the Caracorn Snake on Ou Yunhui¡¯s wrist. The data in his right eye changed instantly.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Demon beast name: Caracorn Snake] [Level: Level 18] [Attributes: Metal/superpower] [Grade: Elite] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobbies: Lying on one¡¯s hands] [Evolution paths: Six evolution paths¡­] [Evolution requirements: Five Golden Dead Stones, two portions of Serene Joy Grass, five portions of Jubilant Grass (usage steps¡­)] Zhang Yi was shocked. He did not expect that he would be able to see the data of the demon beasts. He could even see the evolution path and the materials needed for evolution. Normally, if he wanted to know the attributes, characteristics, and evolution materials of the demon beasts, he would have to do it step by step. He would have to slowly accumulate experience, and then figure out an evolution path. These were all information that top researchers had to painstakingly search for. Now, he only needed to take a glance to know everything. With this peculiar right eye, he could not only become a beastmaster, he could also become a top-notch cultivation expert. Cultivation experts specialized in raising the grade of divine pets and helping them evolve. If beastmasters were one in a hundred, then nurturing experts were one in ten thousand! Nurturing experts meant that one could earn a lot of money! A lot! Zhang Yi was such a realistic person. If he was not realistic, he and his sister would have died a long time ago. He snapped back to his senses and looked at the shattered crystal ball. Carefully, he said, ¡°Teacher Ou, I don¡¯t have to pay for this, right?¡± He pointed at the crystal ball on the ground. Ou Yunhui¡¯s smile froze on her face. He was actually concerned about this!? Zhang Yi was very nervous. He was very concerned about this issue. Looking at this crystal ball, it would cost at least tens of thousands of alliance dollars. He did not know how long he would have to work to earn this much money. Even if he sold his own body, he would not be able to afford the loss! ¡°No need. The school will reimburse you.¡± After hearing Ou Yunhui¡¯s words, Zhang Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, hearing the teacher ask him to return to his seat, Zhang Yi lifted his feet and walked to his seat. After he was done, Ou Yunhui said to her class, ¡°next week, all students who pass the test will enter the special beast training class.¡± ¡°There will be military beastmasters to train you and teach you how to command your subdued beasts.¡± ¡°This weekend, you can sign your subdued beasts.¡± Zhang Yi was walking home, looking at the environment around him. The electronic screen displayed advertisements that could help familiars evolve. Zhang Yi looked at the interesting scenes on the street, unable to feel happy. He had already become a beastmaster, but he did not even have any ordinary familiars. Even if he wanted to buy one, he could not afford it. When he returned to his house, he saw Zhang Ru sitting on the stairs, playing with a hedgehog. he did not know where it came from. There was a wound on its stomach. ¡°Where did this come from?¡± Zhang Yi walked to Zhang Ru¡¯s side and asked while stroking her head. When they were still young, their parents had passed away, leaving behind only an empty house and a ring. He and Zhang Ru had relied on each other since they were young, selling everything in the house that could be sold. Zhang Ru had barely survived until now, and she was very dependent on him. Zhang Ru raised her head and found that her brother had returned. She happily hugged his arm and shook it. ¡°I found this at the door. I took it in because I felt sorry for it.¡± ¡°Brother, do you agree to me taking it in?¡± Zhang Ru asked. Zhang Yi saw her like this and smiled. ¡°Of course.¡± As he spoke, his eyes turned to the hedgehog and his eyes lit up. When his sister was not paying attention, he cut his finger and placed his bloody hand on its forehead. He was still muttering a string of words, and Zhang Yi did not know if he could succeed. After all, this hedgehog did not look like a demon beast at all, and now he could only gamble! Instantly, the hedgehog¡¯s spirit and Zhang Yi¡¯s spirit were connected. When a soul contract was signed, a demon beast could temporarily communicate with a human. If a demon beast did not agree to become a human¡¯s subdued beast, it meant that the soul contract had failed. There was no damage to the two. If it agreed, a human could understand the demon beast¡¯s words. When a demon beast became a subdued beast, it could communicate with its beastmaster. Zhang Yi asked tentatively, ¡°are you willing to become my contracted subdued beast?¡± The hedgehog only barked twice, but Zhang Yi could understand what it was saying. The hedgehog could sense the urgency in Zhang Yi¡¯s heart at that moment. Seeing how the siblings treated it so well, without thinking too much, it agreed to become his contracted familiar. ¡°I¡¯m willing.¡± After hearing its words, Zhang Yi¡¯s heart was filled with joy. He had not expected it to succeed! A dim light flashed, and the hedgehog¡¯s eyes lit up. The spikes all over its body grew by ten centimeters! The wounds on its body were slowly healing. At this moment, the hedgehog¡¯s data appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Shadow Hedgehog] [Level: Level 3] [Attribute: Wind/Ghost] [Grade: Normal] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: Likes to be touched on the stomach] [Evolution requirements: One wind-type crystal core, ten wind-controlling grass, five bramble grass (usage steps¡­)] [Evolution route: There are five evolution routes¡­] The Shadow Hedgehog was lying in Zhang Ru¡¯s arms obediently. ¡°Then what should we name it?¡± Zhang Ru looked at the hedgehog in her arms and asked.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The two of them fell into deep thought. A few minutes later, Zhang Ru¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Why don¡¯t we call it Xiaoxiao?¡± Zhang Yi nodded and agreed without thinking. In the evening, Zhang Yi cooked a simple meal. After the two of them ate, they went back to bed. The next morning. Zhang Yi was making breakfast for Zhang Ru. The aroma of the meal made Zhang Ru sit up. After washing up, she sat on the stool and waited obediently for Zhang Yi to finish cooking. After eating, she said to Zhang Ru, ¡°you stay at home. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± After seeing her nod, Zhang Yi went out with relief. Right now, he was very short of money and could not buy the materials needed for Xiaoxiao¡¯s evolution. Half an hour later, he arrived at Qiyi Street, where all the cultivation clinics of Yiqi City were gathered. Even the branded shops of the Alliance of Cultivators were located here. Zhang Yi looked at the cultivation clinic on the street. He did not walk in but instead paced back and forth on the street. His gaze swept over the people who came out of the cultivation clinic. Ten minutes later, a tall and thin figure caught his attention. He was coming out of a cultivation clinic, looking dejected. There was a familiar behind him. It looked dispirited as if it had experienced a life-and-death battle. Looking at the familiar, its data immediately surfaced in his mind. [Name: Snow Jade Sable] [Level: Level 9] [Attribute: Mutated ice-type] [Grade: Normal] [Status: Weak, injured] [Weakness: Metal] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: There are a total of seven evolution paths¡­] Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes lit up. He went forward and blocked the man¡¯s path. ¡°Wait! Brother! Your subdued beast failed to evolve?¡± The young man frowned and glared at Zhang Yi. His subdued beast failed to evolve, yet this person looked very happy! ¡°What are you doing!¡± the young man said impatiently. Hearing his impatient tone, Zhang Yi hurriedly said, ¡°I have the secret recipe for the Snow Jade Sable¡¯s evolution. It can help your subdued beast evolve, but you need to prepare the ingredients yourself.¡± The young man rolled his eyes. What secret recipe?! Looking at his young appearance, it did not seem like he had a secret recipe! He had never heard of anyone who had such a secret recipe at such a young age! After hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, he immediately turned around and left. Zhang Yi did not get angry when he saw his expression. Instead, he smiled and blocked his path again. ¡°This familiar of yours is a water-type demon beast, and it¡¯s also a water-type variant 5. It¡¯s ice-type, and its weakness is a metal-type demon beasts. Its hobby is eating potato chips. Your familiar has just failed to evolve. If you don¡¯t take care of your beast properly, there will be side effects¡­¡± Zhang Yi told him a lot of information about the Snow Jade Sable. When the young man heard what he said, he was so shocked that he stopped in his tracks. He said in disbelief, ¡°how do you know about Xiao Yu?¡± When Zhang Yi heard what he said, he immediately held his head high and puffed out his chest. ¡°I told you, I have the secret recipe to evolve the Snow Jade Sable.¡± When the young man heard what he said, he hesitated. However, ten minutes later, he said firmly, ¡°alright! I believe you this time!¡± The two of them immediately walked towards the Demon Beast Materials Department Store. There were thousands of materials here. There were crystals, mutated plants, and so on, they could all be bought here. Of course, every single one of them was very expensive! Zhang Yi followed beside the young man, muttering about the materials that they needed to buy. The young man looked very rich and did not skimp on the materials. After buying all the materials, Zhang Yi went to the free mixing room in the store. The young man and the Snow Jade Sable were waiting at the door. Each formula was top secret and could not be seen by outsiders. After taking the time, Zhang Yi put the materials into the pot according to the steps. Half an hour later, Zhang Yi stood in front of the young man with a bowl of purple potion in his hand. Looking at the bowl of potion, the young man¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡°What is this black stuff?¡± ¡°Are you sure this is safe to consume?¡± After asking two questions in a row, Zhang Yi still nodded confidently and frankly. Seeing his confidence, the young man could only take the bowl with a sad face and wave at Xiao Yu. ¡°Come, finish this bowl of liquid!¡± The Snow Jade Sable slowly walked over and sniffed at the side of the bowl, turning its head away with a look of disgust. It was obvious that it did not want to drink this bowl of dark liquid. Seeing this, Zhang Yi grinned and said, ¡°as long as you drink it, your master will immediately buy you five packets of potato chips!¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, its eyes lit up and looked at the young man beside it. The young man nodded. Its eyes lit up as it drank the bowl of medicinal liquid, with a look of disgust on its face. Instantly, the surrounding water froze, and the temperature dropped sharply. It was so cold that the two of them were shivering. When they heard the Snow Jade Sable stretch out its neck and call out, its fur was black and shiny, and it exerted force with its palm. It pierced through the ground, and its pressure became stronger and stronger. At this moment, the data in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind changed. [Name: Snow Jade Sable] [Level: Level 9] [Attributes: Mutated ice] [Grade: High] [Status: Excited, happy] [Weakness: Metal] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: there are a total of five evolution paths¡­] Looking at the Snow Jade Sable that had successfully evolved, the young man happily shook Zhang Yi¡¯s body. ¡°It really successfully evolved!¡± Seeing him so excited, Zhang Yi smiled. However, the young man could not calm down.. He grabbed Zhang Yi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°big brother, you are too amazing!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The probability of a demon beast evolving was extremely low. Zhang Yi¡¯s success on the first try was unprecedented! ¡°Big brother, no! Master, take me as your disciple!¡± Zhang Yi saw that the young man was about to kneel down and immediately pulled him back. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Just give me money.¡± The young man stood up. Without any hesitation, he took out an alliance card and placed it in Zhang Yi¡¯s hand. Zhang Yi took the alliance card and looked at it. There were 60,000 alliance dollars in it. His eyes lit up and he immediately put the card into his pocket. It had been a long time since he had seen so much money. The young man looked like he had money and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you 60,000 alliance dollars if you help Xiao Yu evolve successfully!¡± ¡°Oh right, my name is Yu Qingqi. Let¡¯s add our contact details. I¡¯ll look for you when Xiao Yu is ready to evolve in the future!¡± After the two of them exchanged contact details, he left with the Snow Jade Sable. Zhang Yi took the alliance card and returned to the materials store. Right now, the most important thing was to buy the materials needed for Xiaoxiao¡¯s evolution. Otherwise, if he brought it along to participate in beastmaster training without evolving, he would be completely crushed! Xiaoxiao¡¯s grade and level were still very low, so it was impossible for it to participate in the battle. Under the guidance of the salesperson, Zhang Yi came in front of the materials he wanted to buy. According to the data in his mind, the Shadow Hedgehog had a total of five evolutionary routes. He would definitely choose the best one! He would focus on exploiting its spirit-type potential. Spirit-types were very rare. Not only was its combat strength very strong, it was also very cool! After making his decision, Zhang Yi looked at these spirit-type materials. This shocked him so much that his blood pressure rose. An hour later, Zhang Yi had finished buying all the materials he needed. He only had 300 alliance dollars left on him. The 60,000 alliance dollars that he obtained earlier had almost been completely used up. Sure enough, taking care of divine pets was very expensive! He opened the door, placed the materials on the table, and then started to cook. After he and Zhang Ru finished eating, he took out a pot and boiled water. When the time was up, he put the ingredients into the pot one by one. Not long after, the fragrance spread. Zhang Ru, who smelled the fragrance, carried Xiaoxiao to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. ¡°It smells so good! Is it meat soup? I want to drink it!¡± As she spoke, she looked straight at the soup in the pot. Zhang Yi heard her and said, ¡°there¡¯s no meat in it.¡± As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Zhang Ru¡¯s expression immediately sank. Then, her gaze landed on Xiaoxiao in her arms, and her eyes lit up. She lifted Xiaoxiao up and said, ¡°isn¡¯t this meat!?¡± Zhang Yi could hear Xiaoxiao¡¯s struggling cries in his mind. ¡°No! No! Quickly put me down!¡± ¡°I want to help it evolve, not to use it to boil soup.¡± He took Xiaoxiao with a black face and then put it into the pot. ¡°I see.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, Zhang Ru said with some disappointment. Xiaoxiao gave up struggling after hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words. It stayed quietly in the pot. Zhang Yi observed it for a few minutes and did not find anything unusual, so he covered the pot. Then he left with Zhang Ru. He was really looking forward to what kind of divine pet it would become tomorrow! Just as Zhang Yi closed the door, a loud sound came from the sky. A white light flashed and landed in the forest outside the city. Zhang Yi¡¯s brows immediately furrowed. Why did thunder suddenly strike out of nowhere? He felt that the weather was not quite right. ¡ª¡ª In the forest outside the city. Waves of desolate roars of demon beasts were drowned out by the loud sound of the thunder. The artillery of the military was facing the outside of the city, ready to attack. A young general who was standing upright gave the order, and all the artillery was aimed at the spot where lightning struck. This lightning seemed to be the effect of some kind of demon beast evolving. It was unknown whether it was a warlord grade, a god grade, or even a higher wargod grade! The entire Yiqi City spent the night in anxiety. Fortunately, nothing unusual happened throughout the night. ¡ª The next morning. Zhang Yi got up and made breakfast. He even specially made Zhang Ru her favorite chicken wings. He had seen them yesterday and bought them. Zhang Ru immediately sat up when she smelled the fragrance. Then, she tidied up and walked to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. She was staring straight at the chicken wings in the pot, constantly swallowing her saliva. Suddenly, there was a clanging sound in the corner, accompanied by a roar. Zhang Yi was so frightened that she pulled Zhang Ru behind him to protect her. Looking into the corner, he found that it was Xiaoxiao who had successfully evolved. At this moment, its body had doubled in size, and the spikes on its body were very sharp. Zhang Yi let out a sigh of relief, and then waved at Xiaoxiao. With a whoosh, it turned into a white light from the pot and came to Zhang Yi¡¯s feet. Zhang Ru picked it up and weighed it in her hands. ¡°Brother, Xiaoxiao seems to have become lighter!¡± Zhang Ru said to Zhang Yi in surprise. Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi took Xiaoxiao and realized that it was indeed much lighter than yesterday. He did expect that after it successfully evolved, not only did its body double in size, but it was also so light. After Zhang Yi finished cooking, the two of them sat on the stool and ate breakfast. Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao was staring at the chicken wings in Zhang Ru¡¯s mouth. When Zhang Yi saw this scene, he immediately understood that it was hungry. Indeed, after the evolution, it was time to replenish its energy. After the two of them finished eating, Zhang Yi said to little Xiaoxiao, ¡°let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you hunting!¡± When it heard the word ¡®hunting¡¯, its eyes lit up.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, a small voice sounded in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind, ¡°yes! Let¡¯s go, Let¡¯s Go! I¡¯m so hungry!¡± Hearing the small voice, Zhang Yi immediately carried Xiaoxiao. Just as he was about to walk towards the door, Zhang Ru stretched out her hands and stopped him. ¡°Hunting? I want to go too!¡± Zhang Ru said. Zhang Yi stopped and used his other hand to pull Zhang Ru away, saying, ¡°hunting is too dangerous. You stay at home.¡± As he spoke, he walked towards the door. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ru suddenly hugged his leg and stopped him from walking forward. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. ¡°Alright, as long as you stay at home, I¡¯ll buy you delicious food when I come back.¡± When Zhang Ru heard this, she indeed let go of Zhang Yi¡¯s foot. Zhang Yi knew her very well. Her favorite thing was to eat. As long as she was tempted by food, she would definitely compromise. He walked out of the door and headed toward the Low Forest District in the city. There were a total of several forest areas in the city, with three levels: low, middle, and high. The Low Forest District contained demon beasts that ordinary to high-grade subdued beasts could deal with. The Middle Forest District was for excellent and perfect-grade subdued beasts. Whereas the High Forest District was for battle, god, and wargod level-grade subdued beasts. Half an hour later, Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao to the Low Forest District. After proving to the soldiers standing at the entrance that he was a beastmaster, they walked inside. The forest area emitted a sinister aura, which made Zhang Yi rub his arms. Xiaoxiao was on high alert, constantly scanning its surroundings. They had just arrived here. Perhaps they were still not used to it, which was why it was like this. At this moment, he felt a bloody aura. Zhang Yi looked towards the source of the aura. He saw that there was a thorny shrub on his left side. The branches were covered with sharp thorns. This was a plant-type demon beast! At this moment, a data frame appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Name: Sharp Thorn] [Level: Level 9] [Attributes: Plant-type] [Grade: Normal] [Status: Hungry] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobbies: Pierce the skin of the prey with sharp thorns, suck the blood of the prey, and entangle the prey] Seeing the information, Zhang Yi was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat. He immediately spoke up to stop Xiaoxiao who wanted to move forward. ¡°Xiaoxiao, don¡¯t go there.¡± After saying that, he brought Xiaoxiao around. Walking to the other side, Zhang Yi saw many mutated herbs on the way, so he collected them all. He put them into his backpack. After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Yi and Xiaoxiao stopped in front of a ten-year-old mulberry plant. There were thousands of soft maggots lying on it, all of which were what Xiaoxiao loved to eat. Data immediately appeared in his mind. [Name: Crystal Soft Maggots] [Level: Level 2] [Attributes: Rock] [Grade: Normal] [Status: Scared (wriggling rapidly)] [Weakness: Fire/spirit] [Hobby: Likes to nest together and eat food quickly] Before Zhang Yi could say anything, Xiaoxiao turned into a white light and flew over, eating all of the soft maggots. Just as Xiaoxiao was enjoying its meal, a cold wind blew past Zhang Yi¡¯s back. A pair of blood-red eyes stared at Zhang Yi, and then it pounced on Zhang Yi. Just as it was about to pounce on Zhang Yi, a white figure blocked the attack that was headed for Zhang Yi¡¯s head. It was Xiaoxiao who blocked the attack. In the next moment, Xiaoxiao attacked it. Zhang Yi came back to his senses and looked at the two battling figures, one red and one white, flashing rapidly. The speed was so fast that Zhang Yi could not see the two figures clearly. Five minutes later, a red figure fell to the ground with a boom. Its body was covered in bloody holes. It was obviously injured by small spikes. Zhang Yi looked over, and a data frame immediately appeared in his mind. [Name: Red Flag Ant] [Level: Level 5] [Attribute: Earth] [Grade: Ordinary] [Status: Weak, terrified (about to die).] [Weakness: Fire] [Evolution path: ¡­] After reading the information, Zhang Yi was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body. After a fight, Xiaoxiao pushed the Red Flag Ant to the ground and looked at the ant with eager eyes. Xiaoxiao wanted to open its mouth and eat it, but Zhang Yi stopped it. ¡°Xiaoxiao, you can¡¯t eat it.¡± After saying that, it turned to look at him with resentment. Then, Zhang Yi heard Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice in his mind, ¡°why can¡¯t I eat it?¡± ¡°Because I want to sell it to make money.¡± After saying that, Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°okay.¡± The voice sounded very aggrieved. Zhang Yi smiled. Carrying the Red Flag Ant¡¯s corpse on his shoulder, he continued to walk forward with Xiaoxiao. At this moment, the ground shook violently. The surrounding demon beasts were fleeing in all directions. Even Xiaoxiao was hiding behind a big tree. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi had a puzzled look on his face. What happened? Why did all the demon beasts run? ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± Seeing that all the demon beasts had escaped, Zhang Yi shouted loudly. Seeing that Zhang Yi was being protective, Xiaoxiao walked out with its head held high. It stood in front of Zhang Yi and even said to him, ¡°I¡¯m not leaving, I¡¯ll block it for you!¡± At this moment, a group of one-meter-long centipedes rushed out, and a data frame immediately appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Name: Giant Xing Centipede] [Level: Level 8] [Attribute: Earth] [Grade: Ordinary] [Status: Panic] [Weakness: Fire] [Evolution path: ¡­] Most of the centipedes were elites. Zhang Yi did not have time to think too much. He wanted to bring Xiaoxiao out of here. Just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over his head. Then, he and Xiaoxiao were grabbed and lifted up into the sky. Zhang Yi looked over and the data appeared in his mind. [Name: Wind Lark] [Level: Level 18] [Attributes: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Superpower] [Evolution route: ¡­] After reading the message, a voice rang in his ears. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m the captain of the Qilie Team, Bai Haoshi.¡± ¡°We received news that there were strange movements of demon beasts here, and we came to rescue the people trapped here.¡± Bai Haoshi briefly explained the situation to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Someone had come to rescue them. He looked at the trembling Xiaoxiao in his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Someone has come to rescue us.¡± After a few more words of comfort, Xiaoxiao finally calmed down. While Zhang Yi was comforting Xiaoxiao, Bai Haoshi¡¯s gaze fell on Zhang Yi. He sized Zhang Yi up and down, and when he saw that the backpack behind him was bulging with a bunch of mutated plants, the corners of his mouth twitched. He had never seen such a shameless beastmaster. He looked at Bai Haoshi, who was looking at him from the side, and asked, ¡°why are there strange movements here?¡± ¡°There was some kind of strong energy here a few days ago, so these Giant Xing Centipedes burrowed into the ground from elsewhere and followed it here.¡± Bai Haoshi explained the reason. Just as Zhang Yi was about to ask something else, he suddenly said, ¡°alright, we¡¯re here. Hurry up and go home.¡± Zhang Yi looked down at the road, sighed, and jumped off the Wind Lark. As they walked down the street, they saw military armored vehicles hurrying toward the Low Forest District. On the vehicles were some artillery and military beastmaster teams. Seeing this, Zhang Yi nodded silently. In this era, under such a dangerous situation, only the H Country would worry about the safety of the citizens. He opened the door and returned home. When Zhang Ru saw that he had returned, she immediately walked up to him and asked, ¡°where¡¯s my food?¡± She did not forget to reach out her hand to take her snacks. When he saw Zhang Ru¡¯s expression, Zhang Yi¡¯s face instantly darkened. So, this girl was not happy to see him return. She was only happy for the food that he might be carrying with him. ¡°Something happened, so I haven¡¯t bought anything yet.¡± As soon as he said that, Zhang Ru shouted unhappily, ¡°what happened? How could you forget to buy me food?¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have money to buy you food after I sell these. Watch over Xiaoxiao for me.¡± As he said that, he weighed the backpack on his back and put Xiaoxiao on the ground. When she heard that, a smile appeared on Zhang Ru¡¯s face and she nodded her head heavily. Looking at the smiling Zhang Ru, Zhang Yi felt that it was time to send her to school. Zhang Ru was already 11 years old. From Monday to Friday, he would be at school and no one took care of her. Zhang Yi did not dare to continue thinking about what would he do if an accident were to happen. Zhang Yi carried a large bag of mutated plants out the door. After walking for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination ¡ª the Demon Beast Materials Department Store. Just as he walked in, the salesperson who served him the last time walked towards him. ¡°What do you need to buy?¡± the salesperson asked with a sweet smile on his face. Zhang Yi shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to sell something.¡± As he spoke, he placed his backpack on the table and lined up the plants on the table. One by one, Zhang Yi named the price ¡°This is Xin Yu Grass. Each one is worth 600 alliance dollars.¡± ¡°This is Hu Yu Grass. Each catty of it is worth 300 alliance dollars.¡± ¡°This is Hu Xi Grass. Each catty of it is worth 500 alliance dollars.¡± ¡­ After he placed everything from his bag onto the table, the salesperson checked it. Then, he said to Zhang Yi, ¡°sir, this Xin Yu Grass is worth 300 alliance dollars each. As for Hu Yu Grass, it is worth 150 alliance dollars per catty, Hu Xi Grass is worth 200 alliance dollars per catty¡­¡± Before she could finish, Zhang Yi interrupted her. ¡°Stop! Why is the price different?¡± The salesperson patiently replied, ¡°sir, you were talking about the selling price before, and I am mentioning the purchase price. There is a difference between the two.¡± Zhang Yi¡¯s face instantly fell. This was too f*cking shady! The buying and selling prices were different. The net profit from this was only a few hundred alliance dollars per catty! Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and sold all of the goods. The salesperson calculated for Zhang Yi and paid him 3,600 alliance dollars. ¡°I have another treasure here,¡± Zhang Yi said with a smile on his face. Then, he took out the Red Flag Ant¡¯s corpse from his backpack. He placed it on the table and showed it to the salesperson. After the salesperson looked at it, she handed 10,000 alliance dollars to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi took the money and walked out of the materials department store, his heart bleeding. This is too shady! He sold everything for only 13,600 alliance dollars. In the future, he would definitely set up his own hunter squad! He would open his own subdued beast department store! He took the alliance dollars and bought a sharpening board and a small snack. Not long after, Zhang Yi walked out gloomily. An ordinary sharpening board had cost him a whole 7,000 alliance dollars.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 6,000 alliance dollars for sixty catties of demon beast meat! In an instant, only 600 alliance dollars were left. On the way home, Zhang Yi stopped when he saw a shop selling roasted sweet potatoes. He walked towards the shop and asked the owner for a roasted sweet potato. In less than five minutes, the owner gave him a roasted sweet potato, and Zhang Yi took it back home. Zhang Ru saw that Zhang Yi was holding a bag in his hand and happily came to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. She took the roasted sweet potato from his hand and said, ¡°brother, you¡¯re so nice!¡± Hearing Zhang Ru¡¯s words, he could not bring himself to reprimand her. A smile appeared on his face. After touching her head, he put the sharpening board that he had bought in a corner. When Xiaoxiao saw it, it immediately walked up and began to grind the thorns on its body. The nether thorns on its body were constantly growing, so they needed to be constantly polished to become stronger and sharper. The next morning, after Zhang Yi finished making breakfast, he called out to Zhang Ru, who was still sound asleep upstairs. ¡°Get up and eat!¡± Five minutes later, Zhang Ru was sitting on a stool with a messy bedhead, eating the breakfast that Zhang Yi had made. After breakfast, Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Ru, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to school. Stay at home by yourself.¡± Seeing Zhang Ru nod obediently, Zhang Yi still felt a little worried. He walked out the door with Xiaoxiao. Today, the school had set up a beastmaster special training class for new beastmasters. The purpose of the class was to guide newly-promoted beastmasters on how to control their subdued beasts. After walking for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the school gate. Seeing all kinds of subdued beasts rushing in from all directions at the school gate, Zhang Yi was taken aback He did not expect this scene to be so spectacular. After walking into the school gate, he searched for a while before finding his own class. After Ou Yunhui saw Zhang Yi, she counted the number of people and confirmed that she was right. She led them to the field. Beside them were her subdued beasts. Zhang Yi stood at the end of the line and looked at the subdued beasts of the four people in front of him. One was a Red Stream Spiritual Cat, one was a Front-facing Kangaroo, one was an Exploding Yu Leopard Tiger, and one was a Sharp-mouthed Crocodile. Although they were all above level six, they were all ordinary-grade. He was delighted. Although Xiaoxiao¡¯s level was low, it was still high-grade. It was already one tier above them. The Exploding Yu Leopard Tiger scurried everywhere, and it flung its tongue to the side. It spat everywhere, and a foul stench filled the air. Everyone covered their noses and mouths, hiding far away in disgust. Meanwhile, its owner, Yu Qi, was showing everyone how powerful his subdued beast was. Zhang Yi glanced at it in disgust, and its data appeared in her mind. [Name: Exploding Yu Leopard Tiger] [Level: Level 6] [Attributes: Combat] [Grade: Ordinary] [Status: Happy] [Weakness: Lightning/Spirit] [Likes: Likes to spit on things, hates mollusks. Dislikes being snot-nosed] [Evolution path: ¡­] Zhang Yi¡¯s face darkened when he saw this information. He did not like being snot-nosed. What a weirdo! Zhang Yi shifted his gaze and looked around, then threw a Soft Maggot at its face. In the next second, the leopard tiger shook its head and rolled on the ground, crying loudly. Seeing this, the beastmasters felt very relieved. Finally, someone taught it a lesson. Just as Zhang Yi was happily looking at the beastmaster¡¯s expression, he saw Ou Yunhui¡¯s resentful gaze fall on him. Even though Zhang Yi¡¯s movements were very fast, Ou Yunhui still saw it clearly. Zhang Yi smiled apologetically at her, indicating that he would not do this again. Ou Yunhui sighed inwardly. She took a tissue to the leapord tiger and removed the Soft Maggot on its face. Then, she comforted it, and it obediently stood at the side. The farce ended. At this moment, more than 400 novice beastmasters from various high schools had gathered on the field. In front of them were ten instructors dressed in black, exuding a valiant aura. It was obvious at a glance that they were experienced beastmasters. Beside each of them stood a Swift Edge Bear. Their eyes were filled with killing intent as they raised their heads arrogantly and stood to the side. In an instant, the 400 beastmasters quieted down. It was obvious that they had gone through a long battle to hone their aura. Even standing there made people feel afraid. Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at these Swift Edge Bears. These Swift Edge Bears were all high-grade, between level 16 and level 18. They were truly a terrifying force. Just as Zhang Yi was lost in thought, a voice rang out. ¡°My name is Hong Yu, your chief instructor.¡± This voice immediately pulled Zhang Yi back to his senses, and he looked at the person holding the microphone in front of him. ¡°According to the military¡¯s request, we have gathered all the high school students in Yiqi City into one place for special training!¡± ¡°This is your chance to become a true beastmaster! Cherish it!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a round of applause broke out. This was indeed a good opportunity to train their skills. It was much better than blindly guessing.. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hong Yu¡¯s voice rang out once again. ¡°According to your aptitude and strength, you will be divided into classes of 1,2,3,4,5, and 6.¡± ¡°Next, we will begin the division assessment.¡± ¡°The first assessment will be a tacit understanding assessment! It will also test the tacit understanding between you and your subdued beasts!¡± As soon as Hong Yu finished speaking, the 400 plus students present were immediately divided into ten groups. Each group had an instructor. Zhang Yi was assigned to the fifth group, and the instructor happened to be Hong Yu. Hong Yu pointed at a machine not far away and said, ¡°this is our testing ground. The machine will continuously send out volleyball.¡± ¡°You guys just need to instruct your familiars to dodge it.¡± Hearing this rule, everyone was delighted. It was so simple. This was easy, right?! However, when they heard the next sentence, their expressions instantly changed. ¡°The prerequisite is that your subdued beasts have to wear blindfolds at all times, and their backs are facing the machine.¡± It was still fine if their backs were facing the server. They could instruct their subdued beasts to dodge, but they still had to wear blindfolds! Were they deliberately messing with them?! No one dared to be the first to step out and try. Hong Yu looked around and saw that all of them had their heads lowered. He pointed and said, ¡°you. Yes, you. You go first.¡± Everyone followed his finger and looked over. Yu Qi was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that he would be the first. Hong Yu saw that he was slow. Yu Qi did not move even after a minute had passed. ¡°Hurry up! Weren¡¯t you showing off just now!?¡± he urged impatiently. Hearing his shout, Yu Qi trembled and then walked forward. He took the blindfold and put it on the Leopard Tiger¡¯s eyes, making it turn its back to the service machine. With Hong Yu¡¯s order, the staff pushed three more service machines over. This made everyone present widen their eyes. There were a total of four service machines on the field, how could dodge like this!? Before he could make a sound, Hong Yu whistled, and the four serving machines were activated. A volleyball the size of the leopard tiger¡¯s head instantly flew out. ¡°Left, right, middle, right¡­¡± Yu Qi hurriedly told his subdued beast the direction of the balls. The Leopard Tiger dodged the first, second, but could not dodge the third. Its buttocks were instantly smashed by the ball, and the force was so great that the Leopard Tiger staggered. Before the Leopard Tiger could stabilize itself, the second round of volleyballs followed. Four balls were launched at the same time, and Yu Qi hurriedly said, ¡°right, up, down, left.¡± He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. The Leopard Tiger, who had not been able to stabilize itself, was immediately hit by the ball and fell to the ground. It rolled forward, but it still did not dodge the ball that was shot from below, and it hit the back of its head. The Leopard Tiger was enraged. ¡°Roar!¡± With a roar, it stood up. Everyone who heard the roar was shocked. They felt that the Leopard Tiger was starting to get serious. Maybe it could make a perfect comeback! Hong Yu saw that the Leopard Tiger was angry, and his eyes revealed a look of anticipation. It was finally getting serious! After the Leopard Tiger stood firm, Hong Yu whistled, and the four service machines fired at the same time. The Leopard Tiger had just dodged a ball below, and just as it was feeling smug, it was hit by the ball above. Then, everyone saw the Leopard Tiger lying on the ground, knocked unconscious by the volleyball. When Zhang Yi saw this scene, he could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It had not even finished dodging, and it was already feeling smug. It deserved to be hit! Hong Yu could not help but hold his forehead when he saw this. This stupid Leopard Tiger had not even finished, and it looked as if it had already won! What an eyesore! He waved his hand, gesturing for the staff to carry it away. ¡°Next!¡± Hong Yu¡¯s voice rang out. Everyone looked at their familiars. They were afraid that they would be as embarrassing as the Leopard Tiger. After not seeing anyone come out for a long time, Hong Yu began to call for people again. Twenty minutes later, Zhang Yi saw that the two people in front had finished. He stood out to make preparations. He looked at the skills of the three people. He already knew the rules of the service machine, and he was confident that he could make Xiaoxiao perfectly dodge all the balls. With that thought, he helped Xiaoxiao put on an eye patch, and then had its back facing the service machine. After doing this, Zhang Yi heard the whistle, and then the sound of four service machines¡¯ ¡®pu pu pu¨C¡® sound could be heard. Four balls flew over from different directions. Zhang Yi said calmly, ¡°left, up, down, right.¡± As he said this, he saw Xiaoxiao dodge the balls. ¡°Right, left, up, left, right, up, down¡­¡± As Zhang Yi said this, Xiaoxiao hid, and the man and the beast worked together perfectly. Those who had not been tested could not help but admire Zhang Yi. Even Hong Yu¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. His eyes flashed as he whispered a few words into the ear of a staff member. After hearing Hong Yu¡¯s words, the staff member came to the side of the server and slightly tampered with it. After Xiaoxiao dodged this round of balls, the server fired a few more balls. ¡°Roll forward, back, left side, ¡­¡± What shocked everyone was that each service machine actually served three balls in a row, not giving her a chance to catch her breath. What shocked them even more was that Xiaoxiao dodged them all, and she dodged them perfectly! After seeing this scene, Hong Yu¡¯s eyes lit up as he whispered to the staff member at the side. ¡°Remember this person well, make sure he goes to Class 1!¡± Hearing Hong Yu¡¯s words, the staff member solemnly nodded his head.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After the test, Zhang Yi placed Xiaoxiao on his hand and touched its belly. ¡°Well done!¡± After praising Xiaoxiao, he rubbed its belly. Ignoring the adoring gazes of the crowd, he left the test site with Xiaoxiao. He had already finished the test, so there was no need for him to stay here and watch the others¡¯ test. He walked out of the school gate and headed in the opposite direction of home. When Xiaoxiao saw him, it asked Zhang Yi in confusion, ¡°the direction of home is wrong! Where are we going?¡± Hearing Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice in his mind, Zhang Yi explained, ¡°we¡¯re going to Central Park to catch a chicken for you first.¡± Hearing this, Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up, and it quickly replied, ¡°okay, okay, okay!¡± Hearing its urgent voice, Zhang Yi smiled and led it to Central Park. There were many chickens in the Central Park pond that could allow familiars to evolve. Moreover, they were free to catch. As long as you could catch them, you could take as many as you wanted. After walking for nearly half an hour, the man and the beast finally arrived at Central Park. There was a large crowd of people around them. There were many chickens strolling leisurely in a chicken pen the size of a football field. Some of the people surrounding them looked happy, while others looked disappointed. However, they were more disappointed than happy. It was obvious that these people did not manage to catch a single chicken. Zhang Yi walked to the side and looked at the chickens walking slowly inside. He was not in a hurry to make a move. A few minutes passed. At this moment, Zhang Yi suddenly reached in and grabbed a chicken. Then, he knocked it unconscious and lifted it up. This process took less than a minute. The speed was so fast that it shocked everyone around! Everyone stared at Zhang Yi with their eyes wide open. They only came back to their senses after Zhang Yi left. They observed for a few minutes like Zhang Yi did before launching a surprise attack. Unfortunately, no one could catch a chicken. Zhang Yi brought the chicken back home. When Zhang Ru saw Zhang Yi coming back, she immediately walked over. ¡°Wow! Is this chicken our dinner today?!¡± Zhang Ru looked at the chicken in Zhang Yi¡¯s hand in surprise, then raised her head to look at Zhang Yi and said happily. Zhang Yi shook his head and said, ¡°this chicken is for Xiaoxiao¡¯s evolution. We can¡¯t eat it.¡± The moment she saw Zhang Yi shake her head, Zhang Ru¡¯s expression immediately changed. From her happy expression just now, she instantly fell into disappointment. ¡°Alright,¡± she said gloomily. When Zhang Yi saw her expression, he patted her head comfortingly and then walked into the kitchen. First, he prepared the chicken, then he picked up the big pot and put the chicken into it to cook. After doing all this, he began to cook dinner for the day. A few minutes later, a burst of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, directly out of their house. The entire fragrance spread to a radius of one kilometer. Not long after, Zhang Yi had finished cooking. He brought the dishes to the table. He then placed the chicken that was made for Xiaoxiao in front of it. Zhang Ru looked at Xiaoxiao who was eating with relish and could not help but swallow her saliva. Then, she quickly dug into her bowl of rice. Looking at Zhang Ru, Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes watered slightly. He must earn more money in the future and buy more delicious food for her! After the placement exam, he would take the examination for a cultivation expert certificate! With this certificate, he could earn a lot of money even if he did not have to do anything! After eating, they went back to their rooms to rest. The next morning, Zhang Yi was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when he suddenly felt his pants being pulled. Looking down, it was Xiaoxiao who was pulling him. A data frame appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. At this moment, Xiaoxiao¡¯s data changed. [Demon beast name: Shadow Hedgehog] [Level: Level 4] [Attribute: Wind/spirit] [Grade: High-grade] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: Likes to be rubbed on the stomach] [Excellent evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: there are a total of five evolution paths¡­] Xiaoxiao had already leveled up from level 3 to Level 4. Zhang Yi happily scratched its stomach. ¡°Hurry up and wake Zhang Ru up for breakfast.¡± Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao rushed out of the kitchen with a whoosh. Not long after, Zhang Yi had prepared breakfast for both of them. Zhang Yi said to Zhang Ru, ¡°stay at home and eat fewer snacks. Don¡¯t always lie in bed.¡± Zhang Ru pursed her lips and replied, ¡°alright, alright, I got it.¡± Hearing Zhang Ru¡¯s perfunctory tone, Zhang Yi sighed and left the house. It seemed like it was time for Zhang Ru to go to school. Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao to school and stood at the same spot as yesterday. Five minutes later, Hong Yu appeared in their line of sight with him. ¡°Today is the actual combat assessment. The six of you will form a group with six subdued beasts attacking a demon beast.¡± Hearing the contents of today¡¯s assessment, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with unconcealable happiness. How could six subdued beasts not be able to attack a single demon beast? This was simply too simple! However, Zhang Yi had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined. After hearing Hong Yu¡¯s next sentence, Zhang Yi¡¯s suspicions were confirmed. ¡°The demon beast you¡¯re going to attack is my subdued beast, the Swift Edge Bear.¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions changed. Attacking Hong Yu¡¯s subdued beast, this was complete torture! His subdued beast was a level 19 elite demon beast. A level 7 or 8 like them would never be enough. Don¡¯t mention six subdued beasts, even ten subdued beasts would not be enough! Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Let¡¯s start grouping!¡± After Hong Yu finished speaking, the people on the field began to group up. Zhang Yi followed his number to Group 5. When everyone was done grouping up, Hong Yu¡¯s rough voice rang out. ¡°Who wants to be the first!?¡± No one dared to make a sound. Just as Hong Yu was about to open his mouth and call for a challenge, everyone saw a tall and thin man walk out. ¡°Let me do it!¡± Next to him was his familiar. At that moment, the man and the beast were looking at Hong Yu arrogantly. Zhang Yi took a look at his familiar, and its data immediately appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Wind Hall Red Bird] [Level: Level 10] [Attribute: Wind/spirit] [Grade: High] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: There are a total of five evolution paths¡­] Zhang Yi was shocked. He did not expect this person¡¯s subdued beast to be a level 10 high-grade beast! The tall and thin man said, ¡°I want a one-on-one duel!¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yi was stunned. Then, he immediately lowered his head to look at the number in his hand. Zhang Yi¡¯s face immediately darkened. Damn it! This person is actually in my group! ¡°Where are your team members?¡± Hong Yu asked. It was good to be confident, but right now, he was already overconfident. ¡°I don¡¯t need a teammate.¡± The tall and thin man said confidently. He believed that his subdued beast could defeat the Swift Edge Bear. ¡°Very good! I admire your confidence, then let¡¯s begin!¡± Seeing that he was still acting as if he was the best in the world, Hong Yu decided to strike. Do not get arrogant without strength. When he was ready, Hong Yu¡¯s whistle sounded, and the two subdued beasts immediately began fighting. The Wind Hall Red Bird immediately flew in the air, circling the Swift Edge Bear continuously. After flying for nearly a minute, the Swift Edge Bear did not make any movements. Just as the Wind Hall Red Bird flew in front of the Swift Edge Bear, it moved! It raised its hand and quickly grabbed the Wind Hall Red Bird¡¯s wings. Then, with a bang, it smashed it to the ground. The wind hall red bird was still struggling violently. The Swift Edge Bear grabbed it and threw it to the side, smashing it. The Wind Hall Red Bird no longer struggled. Its head was tilted and it fainted. Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. They only just now realize what was going on. It turned out that the combat power of a familiar was not just based on its level. It had to go through endless battles before it could be trained. Hong Yu had an expression that said, ¡®I knew it would be like this¡¯. He waved his hand and had the staff carry the Wind Hall Red Bird away. ¡°Group 1!¡± Hong Yu shouted loudly. The people from Group 1 walked up. Their faces were still filled with shock. After a while, they let their familiars fight with the Swift Edge Bear. After half an hour, no one was able to hit the Swift Edge Bear. Hong Yu looked at the tragic results and said, ¡°how about this? Try to hit the Swift Edge Bear.¡± ¡°As long as your subdued beasts can touch any part of the Swift Edge Bear, you¡¯ll win.¡± After saying that, he looked at the crowd. Who knew that they all had complicated expressions on their faces. They could not even touch a single hair! Ignoring their expressions, Hong Yu immediately shouted, ¡°Group 5!¡± Zhang Yi stood out. Although it was difficult to do so, he did not want to give up. He still wanted to give it a try. His team members also stepped forward. Zhang Yi took a look at their subdued beasts. They were an ionized jellyfish, a flying bug white crane, a sheng qi lemur, and an anxious lion. Their data frames immediately appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. Looking at their data, an idea instantly popped up in his mind. He gathered the other beastmasters together, and after a few minutes of scheming, he finally got their subdued beasts ready. At the sound of the whistle, he watched the Flying Bug White Crane circling in front of the bear. When everyone saw this, they sneered. This was the exact same situation as the Wind Hall Red Bird. They did not even need to look to know that it was also grabbed by its wings and smashed to the ground. However, they were wrong. After the Flying Bug White Crane flew around once, it came before the Swift Edge Bear again. A Sheng Qi Lemur was standing on the crane¡¯s back. The Sheng Qi Lemur jumped and left the Flying Bug White Crane¡¯s body, charging straight at the Swift Edge Bear. Hong Yu was a little surprised when he saw this, but he quickly regained his calm. Could this be Zhang Yi¡¯s plan? Unfortunately, it did not work. The Swift Edge Bear grabbed the Sheng Qi Lemur and threw it forward. The lemur was immediately thrown out. Seeing this, the jellyfish immediately used its tentacles to attack the Swift Edge Bear. The Swift Edge Bear dodged it before the tentacles could touch it. Seeing this, Hong Yu sneered in his heart. This plan was good, but it would not work on the Swift Edge Bear at all. His gaze shifted to Zhang Yi¡¯s side, and he suddenly saw something fly out with a whoosh. He looked around, but he could not find Zhang Yi¡¯s subdued beast. He thought to himself, ¡®this is bad¡¯. He shouted at the Swift Edge Bear, ¡°be careful!¡± However, it was too late. When the Swift Edge Bear dodged to the side, Xiaoxiao quickly stabbed it with the sharp thorns on its body. It did not use much force, so the wound was not very deep. As long as it was treated with medicine, it would recover the next day. For a moment, everyone was stunned. They could actually hurt the Swift Edge Bear! Also, they did it with only five people! Just now, the six people team did not even touch a single hair of the Swift Edge Bear. They could actually hurt the Swift Edge Bear with just five people! It was shocking! Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the members of the group saw that they had injured the Swift Edge Bear, they immediately jumped up. They shouted happily, ¡°yeah! We won!¡± They cheered happily, and even Zhang Yi¡¯s face revealed a smile. Very soon, Hong Yu came back to his senses. After confirming that the Swift Edge Bear was only slightly injured, he immediately announced the result. ¡°The fifth group wins!¡± Once the results were announced, they cheered again. Everyone looked at them with admiration. Under their gazes, Zhang Yi felt exceptionally uncomfortable. He had always been particularly sensitive to the gazes of others, so he took Xiaoxiao and left this place. Shuttling through various combat zones, he watched as other subdued beasts dealt with the Swift Edge Bears. Suddenly, he saw a white sheep attacking the Swift Edge Bear alone. Its data immediately appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Hui Xi Sheep] [Level: Level 14] [Attributes: Metal] [Grade: High] [Status: Confident (in battle)] [Weakness: Superpower] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] After seeing the data of this sheep, Zhang Yi was slightly shocked. He did not expect it to be so powerful. It seemed that he had to upgrade Xiaoxiao as soon as possible. With this thought in mind, Zhang Yi walked out of the school gate. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he saw a barbecue stall at the entrance. He walked toward that stall. Unexpectedly, a figure blocked his way. Looking over, he realized it was the tall and thin man in his group. Qi Heyan glared fiercely at Zhang Yi. ¡°If you had a plan, why didn¡¯t you tell me?!¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yi was stunned. What was this person thinking? Is he really blame him? was there something wrong with him?! Zhang Yi looked at him with disdain. ¡°You made me look bad, and even subdued beast hasn¡¯t woken up yet!¡± Zhang Yi rolled his eyes at him and walked around him to the barbecue stall. He had only taken a few steps when a flustered voice came from behind him. ¡°Just you wait! I won¡¯t let you have it easy!¡± Zhang Yi was speechless. Was he sick and needed the doctor? How was this his problem?! It seemed like he had to hurry up and raise Xiaoxiao¡¯s strength. When Zhang Yi returned to the house, she saw Zhang Ru lying on the sofa watching a TV series. He felt helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t lie down. If you want to watch TV, then do it sitting up.¡± Then, he heard Zhang Ru grunt, but her body did not move. The corner of Zhang Yi¡¯s mouth twitched. Then, he took out the roast meat that she had bought and waved it in front of Zhang Ru. When Zhang Ru saw the roast meat, she immediately sat up and wanted to reach out to grab the roast meat in Zhang Yi¡¯s hand. However, Zhang Yi dodged it. He placed his hands behind his back and looked at Zhang Ru, who was jumping up and down. ¡°Brother, didn¡¯t you buy it for me? Why aren¡¯t you giving it to me now?!¡± Zhang Ru said. ¡°Who said that? Can¡¯t I eat it myself?¡± Zhang Yi retorted. ¡°You¡¯ve changed. You don¡¯t love me anymore. You¡¯ve become someone who won¡¯t give me meat anymore.¡± Zhang Ru stopped moving and stood in front of Zhang Yi. As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away the imaginary tears. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible for me to let you eat. I have a condition.¡± Zhang Yi did not fall for her trick at all. He knew very well what his sister was thinking. She was definitely a drama queen. When she heard this, Zhang Ru immediately put down her hand and looked at Zhang Yi with bright eyes. ¡°What are your conditions?¡± Her tone was full of joy. ¡°Do you see the floor and the dishes in the kitchen?¡± Zhang Yi raised her chin and looked at the floor, then she looked at the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯ll go right away!¡± Zhang Ru knew what he meant without Zhang Yi having to say it. After she cleaned the house, she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When she was done, she came to Zhang Yi and stretched out her hand. Zhang Yi placed some warm roast meat on her hand. After Zhang Ru took the roast meat, she immediately jumped onto the sofa and ate the roast meat with her legs crossed. When Zhang Yi saw her rude actions, his face instantly darkened. A little upset, he said to Zhang Ru, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while. You watch TV at home by yourself.¡± Zhang Ru did not even look at Zhang Yi. ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Yi walked out with Xiaoxiao. The man and the beast walked for an hour before they arrived at the west side of the city. According to the data in their minds, there was only one way to quickly raise the level of spirit-type demon beasts. That was to refine pills. There was a pill called Cold Serene Pill that could raise the level of spirit-type demon beasts by two levels overnight. Although there were no side effects at all, every spirit-type demon beast could only consume two Cold Serene Pills in their lifetime. Otherwise, their bodies would explode and die. After mastering the recipe and method of making the cold serene pill, Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao to the west side of the city. Ever since the mutation, the west side of the city had been abandoned. There were almost no traces of people. Zhang Yi and Xiaoxiao walked in and immediately felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards them. Zhang Yi shivered for a moment before continuing to walk in. Suddenly, in the bushes in front of them, a pair of golden eyes stared at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi felt uncomfortable, so he looked in that direction. An inexplicable chill came over, causing Zhang Yi to shiver. Then, he heard Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice in his mind. ¡°There¡¯s something behind the rock!¡± Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hearing a small sound, Zhang Yi walked around the big rock in front of him. The scene shocked Zhang Yi. He saw a golden toad that was still slightly glowing. It had a big mouth and was breathing the netherworld air around it. The data of this golden toad immediately appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Golden Toad] [Level: Level 6] [Attributes: Spirit] [Grade: High] [Weakness: Superpower/lightning] Zhang Yi looked at the data and realized that it was actually a Golden Toad. There was also a large amount of netherworld essence in its blood. Zhang Yi was delighted. The Golden Toad was good! It could be used as a marrow cleansing soup to increase Xiaoxiao¡¯s strength. Zhang Yi glanced at Xiaoxiao who was beside him. Xiaoxiao immediately understood what Zhang Yi meant. With a whoosh, it pounced on the golden toad. Zhang Yi immediately took off his coat and wrapped it around the toad. Zhang Yi touched Xiaoxiao¡¯s belly and said, ¡°well done.¡± The man and the beast walked back. An hour later, they returned to the small house. At this moment, the sky was completely dark. Zhang Yi first boiled water in the pot, then put the toad into the pot. According to the recipe, he put all the ingredients in one by one. After he was done, he began to cook dinner for tonight. After cooking for a few minutes, the fragrance began to spread, attracting Zhang Ru, who was still watching TV. She hopped into the kitchen, feeling very happy. She did not expect Zhang Yi to cook meat for her after buying her barbecue. How could this not make her happy? ¡°What kind of delicious meat are you going to cook?¡± Zhang Ru asked. The corners of Zhang Yi¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as she said, ¡°I¡¯m cooking toad, do you want to eat it?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of Zhang Ru vomiting. Immediately after, an angry voice sounded, ¡°Zhang Yi! You¡¯re so disgusting!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to eat it, then I won¡¯t eat it. Why did you say that!¡± Hearing her angry voice, Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°weren¡¯t you the one who asked?¡± ¡°Is this really a toad? Why does it smell so good?¡± Zhang Ru thought for a moment. Indeed, she was the one who brought it up first, but the smell made Zhang Ru suspicious. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yi replied. After hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s answer, Zhang Ru¡¯s heart was already broken. Then, she sat back on the sofa in a daze and continued to watch the TV series. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yi walked out of the kitchen with the dishes. He shouted to Zhang Ru who was on the sofa, ¡°it¡¯s time to eat!¡± When she heard this, Zhang Ru got up from the sofa and walk to the dining table. When she saw the meat on the table, she asked in disgust, ¡°is this the meat of a toad?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not toad meat,¡± Zhang Yi said. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s answer, Zhang Ru heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she picked up the meat and put it into her mouth. Ten minutes later, when they had finished eating, the marrow cleansing soup in the pot was also done. Zhang Yi placed the marrow cleansing soup in front of Xiaoxiao. ¡°Drink it quickly. This will increase your strength,¡± Zhang Yi said gently to Xiaoxiao. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, Xiaoxiao nodded and began to drink the marrow cleansing soup. After drinking it, Xiaoxiao fainted. Zhang Yi looked at it anxiously. Fortunately, he did not find anything unusual. It was probably the marrow cleansing soup that had taken effect. After putting it away, he went back to his room to rest. The next morning, Zhang Yi first came to Xiaoxiao¡¯s place and found that it had woken up. The data in her mind had changed. [Demon beast name: Shadow Hedgehog] [Level: Level 7] [Attributes: Wind/spirit] [Grade: High (ready to evolve into excellent)] [Status: Happy] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: Likes to be touched on the stomach] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] In just one night, Xiaoxiao had already reached level 7! Moreover, he could feel that Xiaoxiao¡¯s netherworld aura was even denser than before. This made Zhang Yi very satisfied. He rubbed Xiaoxiao¡¯s stomach. Then, he went to the kitchen and began to make breakfast. Half an hour later, Zhang Yi left with Xiaoxiao. Today was the last test of the class distribution test, the bloodline test. It was to test the bloodline of their subdued beasts. Walking into the school gate, Zhang Yi stood on the field and looked at the long legs of a girl in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a fierce gaze staring at him. Zhang Yi looked over and saw Qi Heyan staring at him with a dark expression. Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and ignored him. ¡°Qi Heyan.¡± Just then, Hong Yu called out his name. It was time for his subdued beast bloodline test. The bloodline test was done by dripping the blood of the subdued beast into a test tube, and then placing the test tube on the test pillar. The test was carried out by the test pillar. There were several colors. They were red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Red was the lowest grade, orange was low grade, yellow was the middle grade, green was high grade, cyan was the highest grade, blue was the god grade, and purple was the wargod grade. Qi Heyan and his familiar walked up arrogantly, like peacocks. He drew blood and placed the test tube on the test pillar. The color was slowly rising. Finally, it stopped at the high grade. Seeing this result, Qi Heyan became even more arrogant. When the people around saw this result, they all started talking.. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Wow! It¡¯s actually green. He should be able to get into Class 1!¡± ¡°Of course! Don¡¯t even think about it! There were so many tests, and only five high-level ones.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! He¡¯ll definitely get into Class 1. I¡¯m so envious!¡± Qi Heyan lifted his head high, then looked at Zhang Yi provocatively. Seeing his expression, Zhang Yi thought, ¡®this person is really sick.¡¯ After Hong Yu announced that his subdued beast was green, he walked down arrogantly. ¡°Next, Yu Shiyin.¡± Hong Yu¡¯s voice rang out, and Zhang Yi saw the long legs he had peeked at earlier walk up. Behind her was actually the Hui Xi Sheep. Zhang Yi was stunned. He had not expected such a girl to have a subdued beast that was actually a sheep. When she placed the test tube on the test pillar, the color immediately rose to cyan. The center of the conversation shifted from Qi Heyan to Yu Shiyin. ¡°Wow! I didn¡¯t expect this to be the highest grade!¡± ¡°Oh my God! I really didn¡¯t expect this sheep¡¯s bloodline to be the highest grade!¡± Hearing their discussion, Qi Heyan¡¯s expression grew darker and darker. He glared fiercely at Yu Shiyin. Originally, he was everyone¡¯s focus, and now, because of her, no one paid attention to him anymore. How could he not be angry?! ¡°Next, Zhang Yi!¡± As time passed, it was finally Zhang Yi¡¯s subdued beast¡¯s turn to undergo the bloodline test. Everyone¡¯s gaze was on Zhang Yi. After all, he had performed extremely well in the previous two tests. Before Zhang Yi walked up, he saw Qi Heyan smile. Zhang Yi¡¯s mind was filled with confusion. He did not know what he was smiling about. He walked up to the examiner and took the test tube from him. Then, he cut open Xiaoxiao¡¯s palm. He dripped its blood into the test tube and returned it to the examiner. He watched as the examiner took the test tube and walked up to the test pillar. Then, he placed the test tube into the test pillar. The color of the test pillar flashed rapidly and finally stopped at red. Zhang Yi widened his eyes in disbelief, while the surrounding people started chatting. ¡°This must be fake! The first two tests were so powerful, yet this guy¡¯s bloodline is the lowest level?¡± ¡°This is simply unbelievable!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? There are also those who are stronger in battle but have lower bloodlines.¡± A hint of pity flashed across Hong Yu¡¯s eyes. Then, he announced to everyone, ¡°Shadow Hedgehog bloodline, lowest level.¡± Just as Hong Yu waved his hand, indicating to Zhang Yi to leave, he heard a loud voice. ¡°Wait! There¡¯s a problem!¡± A relatively sturdy young man walked out, bringing his subdued beast directly onto the stage. Zhang Yi looked at his familiar, and a data frame appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Emergency Hound] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Fire] [Grade: High] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Metal/lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] ¡°What¡¯s the problem?!¡± Hong Yu asked. ¡°My hound told me that there¡¯s something wrong with this test tube!¡± The young man pointed at the test tube that the examiner had placed. The examiner immediately retorted, ¡°how could there be a problem!?¡± The young man replied, ¡°my hound¡¯s nose is extremely sensitive, so it¡¯s impossible that my hound is mistaken.¡± As he said that, he walked forward and took out Zhang Yi¡¯s test tube. Seeing this, Zhang Yi walked over and took the test tube. He found that there was a grayish powder on the inner wall of the test tube. This must have been put in when he took it to the test pillar! ¡°There¡¯s Yihui Powder in here.¡± Hearing the words ¡®Yihui Powder¡¯, everyone was shocked. Yihui powder could directly lower the bloodline to the lowest level, no matter how high the bloodline was. As long as there was Yihui Powder in the blood, it would immediately become the lowest level. Hong Yu took the test tube, looked at the examiner, and said sternly, ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± The examiner immediately panicked and said, ¡°no¡­ It¡¯s not me. I¡­ I don¡¯t know.¡± When Zhang Yi saw him talking, his eyes would look down the stage from time to time. Zhang Yi followed his gaze and saw Qi Heyan, who hurriedly avoided his gaze. He immediately understood that he must have been bribed. No wonder he smiled when he went on stage. It turned out that he already knew the result. ¡°Don¡¯t dream about working in this line of work anymore.¡± Seeing that the examiner still denied it, Hong Yu immediately said. After saying that, he got the staff to carry the examiner away. ¡°Let¡¯s test it again,¡± Hong Yu said to Zhang Yi. Since there was a problem with the test tube just now, the test naturally had to be done again. Zhang Yi dripped a small drop of blood into a new test tube and handed it to Hong Yu. Hong Yu took the test tube and personally placed the test tube into the testing pillar. The color of the testing table kept rising, and then it stopped at blue. Seeing this result, not to mention everyone present, even Zhang Yi was stunned on the spot. He had never expected that his subdued beast¡¯s bloodline was actually god-tier. How could this not be shocking! Seeing this result, Hong Yu patted Zhang Yi¡¯s shoulder in relief. Then, he announced to everyone, ¡°Shadow Hedgehog bloodline, god-tier.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone below the stage cried out in surprise.. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°F*ck! I knew it! With such strong combat power, it¡¯s impossible for the bloodline to be the lowest level!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I wonder who just said that this was normal. This is a slap in the face!¡± When Zhang Yi left the stage, he stopped and thanked the young man. ¡°Thank you,¡± Zhang Yi said to him. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll do the same no matter who it is.¡± The young man waved his hand nonchalantly. Before Zhang Yi could say anything, the young man disappeared. When all the tests were completed, Hong Yu, who was standing on the stage, took the notebook handed over by the staff member next to him. ¡°Next, we will announce the distribution of classes.¡± When he said this, everyone instantly quieted down. They did not dare to make a sound, afraid that they would miss their own information. ¡°Class 1, Zhang Yi, Yu Shiyin, Qi Yu, Yu Qingqi, Li Kun.¡± ¡°Class 2, Qi Heyan, Fang Yi, ¡­¡± ¡°Class 3, ¡­¡± .. ¡°I would like to announce that the beastmasters of Class 1 will receive guidance from all outstanding teachers.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make all of you even more outstanding beastmasters.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yi was delighted. This was simply great! ¡°Next, all the students will take their number plates and enter the corresponding rooms.¡± Zhang Yi looked at her number plate, which showed ¡®Class 1, room 1024¡¯. Following the number plate, he found room 1024. He pushed the door open and walked in, but there was no one inside. There were six chairs here, and behind the chairs were six plush mats. Zhang Yi nodded. He had not expected them to be so considerate, even preparing mats for his subdued beasts. He sat on the chair, quietly waiting for the next member. Not long after, the door opened, and the young man walked in with his Emergency Hound. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s you. My name is Qi Yu.¡± It was the young man who had just helped him. ¡°My name is Zhang Yi.¡± The two of them greeted each other briefly, then sat down on the chair. ¡°I know you. You¡¯re the god who could injure the Swift Edge Bear,¡± Qi Yu said. ¡°No, it was just a fluke,¡± Zhang Yi waved his hand and said. Just as Qi Yu was about to speak, the door was pulled open. Before anyone could enter, a sheep walked in. Zhang Yi recognized the sheep immediately. Then, a pair of long, attractive legs walked in. ¡°Hello, my name is Yu Shiyin.¡± As she spoke, she walked in. Then, she sat down on a seat not too far away from them. ¡°Hello, My name is Qi Yu.¡± ¡°My name is Zhang Yi.¡± The two of them introduced themselves. Five minutes later, the door was opened again. The two of them walked in at the same time. Zhang Yi realized that it was actually someone he knew. Of course, one of the people who came in also saw Zhang Yi. ¡°Master, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re here.¡± As Yu Qingqi spoke, he hugged Zhang Yi. After two minutes, Zhang Yi finally broke free from Yu Qingqi¡¯s embrace. He took a few deep breaths. Then, he said unhappily, ¡°why are you so strong? Are you trying to suffocate me?¡± Yu Qingqi immediately lowered his head and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong. I¡¯ll change.¡± Zhang Yi waved his hand and looked at the person who had entered with him. It was a rather fat person, with a familiar just like him following close behind him. The familiar¡¯s data immediately appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Qifeng Mountain Eagle] [Level: Level 10] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: High] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: Sleeping] [Evolution path: ¡­] After reading the message, Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. This familiar was not bad either. After sitting down, they started chatting. Yu Qingqi suggested, ¡°why don¡¯t we hang out together after school?¡± In the end, the unanimous reply was, ¡°no.¡± Yu Qingqi¡¯s face immediately fell. He asked, ¡°why don¡¯t you guys want to go?¡± Qi Yu said, ¡°I¡¯m going to play games.¡± Li Kun said, ¡°I¡¯m going to help sell things at home.¡± Yu Shiyin said, ¡°I¡¯m not free.¡± Only Zhang Yi did not say anything. Yu Qingqi raised his chin and asked, ¡°what about you, master? Are you busy?¡± Zhang Yi said, ¡°I¡¯m going home to take care of my sister.¡± Hearing this, Yu Qingqi snorted and said, ¡°Just treat it as a celebration for the founding of Class 1. Don¡¯t you want to go?¡± ¡°This is a rare opportunity. What games are you playing? What products are we selling? We don¡¯t have much time. What girl do you need to take care of?!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to play games. You¡¯re not allowed to go back. You¡¯re not allowed to have any problems. You¡¯re not allowed to take care of girls!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll treat you all today. I guarantee that you¡¯ll be happy!¡± When they heard what he said, everyone immediately replied, ¡°okay!¡± Yu Qingqi was instantly stunned. He had a feeling that he had been deceived. What was going on? Whatever! Happiness was the most important thing! At that moment, the door opened once more, and Hong Yu walked in with Ou Yunhui. ¡°First of all, I¡¯d like to congratulate everyone for being able to enter Class 1.¡± ¡°Subdued beasts don¡¯t depend on talent, but on your hard work and perseverance.¡± ¡°This is Ou Yunhui, your teacher. She¡¯ll be your teacher from now on. She¡¯ll be supervising your training at all times.¡± ¡°I hope that everyone will train hard and become an outstanding beastmaster as soon as possible!¡± Zhang Yi was shocked. He did not expect Ou Yunhui to be their teacher. She must be very strong. Otherwise, how could she be their teacher? ¡°If there¡¯s anything you guys don¡¯t know about your subdued beasts, you can ask teacher Ou Yunhui.¡± Hong Yu¡¯s words left Zhang Yi dumbfounded. He did not expect Ou Yunhui to be so powerful! What Hong Yu said was proof of Ou Yunhui¡¯s strength.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°From tomorrow onwards, we will make a detailed training schedule for your familiars. You can go home now.¡± After saying that, Hong Yu walked out of the classroom with Ou Yunhui. Not long after Hong Yu and Ou Yunhui walked out of the classroom, Yu Qingqi stood up and said to them, ¡°let¡¯s go! My treat!¡± Thus, the few of them walked out of the classroom together. After half an hour, they arrived at Qi Yi restaurant together. The few of them walked in. When the waiter saw someone enter, he immediately walked over. He bowed and said to them, ¡°welcome.¡± Yu Qingqi waved his hand and said, ¡°give us a private room.¡± Just as the waiter was about to reply, he was interrupted by a voice ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. All the private rooms have been reserved by me.¡± They looked towards the source of the voice and saw Qi Heyan leaning against the handrail of the stairs. ¡°As long as you ask Zhang Yi to come over and admit his mistake, I¡¯ll be merciful and give up one of the private rooms.¡± After he finished speaking, the waiter said, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll prepare it now.¡± ¡°Wait! I said that I¡¯ve already reserved it. Why did you still prepare a private room for him!¡± Qi Heyan immediately walked in front of them and said to the waiter. The waiter¡¯s tone was a little cold as he said, ¡°because he is the eldest young master of Qi Yi Restaurant.¡± After he said that, Qi Heyan¡¯s face immediately darkened. Yu Qingqi sneered and said, ¡°The entire Qi Yi Restaurant is mine. That is why.¡± ¡°From now on, no one with the surname Qi is allowed to take a single step in the restaurant.¡± ¡°This is my master. From now on, if you see him, he doesn¡¯t pay for anything.¡± He reached out and hooked his arm around Zhang Yi¡¯s neck. After taking a glance at Qi Heyan. He was clearly talking to the waiter, but his eyes were fixed on Qi Heyan. Zhang Yi was shocked. He did not expect that Yu Qingqi was the young master of Qi Yi Restaurant. No wonder he was so straightforward when buying the materials. With such a big restaurant, money is never an issue. Zhang Yi glanced at Qi Heyan and realized that he was staring at him. He immediately gave him a provocative look. ¡°Yes.¡± The waiter replied and then led them to the private room on the second floor. He did not care about Qi Heyan¡¯s dark expression at all. He stood where he was and gritted his teeth as he said fiercely, ¡°Zhang Yi, just you wait!¡± After saying that, he strode out of the restaurant. In the private room, the host, Yu Qingqi, personally ordered for them. But when it came time to order for his subdued beasts, he directly placed the menu in front of Zhang Yi. Ever since he helped Xiao Yu successfully evolve, he understood that Zhang Yi was a real big shot in the field of beast cultivation! He had never seen a cultivation expert as good as him! Zhang Yi picked up the menu and ordered for his subdued beasts without any hesitation. He could feel that these people were worth befriending. ¡°The Snow Jade Sable is an ice-type creature. Give it a cup of iced jade juice and a portion of iced deer meat. It can raise its level.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The others who heard Zhang Yi order were very surprised. Why was Zhang Yi so precise? They had been trying to understand subdued beasts for a long time, but they still could not figure it out. He had only known them for less than two days, yet he was already able to understand the attributes of subdued beasts and what they ate so well. He was really an expert in nurturing! A few hours later, they walked out of the restaurant. Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Ru, who was walking happily by the side, and asked, ¡°did you eat well tonight?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Zhang Ru answered without thinking. Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°that¡¯s good.¡± As soon as he said that, Zhang Ru, who was jumping up and down in front, stopped and turned to look at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi was stunned and looked at her in confusion. ¡°Unfortunately, these dishes are not as delicious as brother¡¯s cooking,¡± Zhang Ru suddenly said. Hearing this, Zhang Yi was stunned again. It would be strange if the dishes cooked in such a big restaurant were not delicious. This girl must be stupid. Just as Zhang Yi was about to speak, he heard a sentence that touched him immensely. ¡°In my heart, what my brother makes is the best in the world!¡± After saying this, Zhang Ru turned around and continued to walk forward happily. When Zhang Yi heard this, his eyes instantly reddened as he followed behind Zhang Ru. The next morning, Zhang Yi and the others sat down in their chairs, anticipating this special training schedule. As the door opened, they saw Hong Yu walk in with a few forms in his hands. Then, he stood on the podium and handed the forms to them one by one. ¡°This is your special training schedule. I¡¯ll send it to you. You¡¯ll have to follow the plan written on it step by step.¡± When they saw the schedule in their hands, they were all stunned. It was densely packed with special training programs for their familiars. ¡°We can start the special training next class.¡± After saying that, Hong Yu walked out of the classroom. Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, the door was opened again. Hong Yu stood at the door and said, ¡°oh right, I forgot to mention. Because it¡¯s spring now, there¡¯s no way to provide a venue for your familiars to train.¡± Yu Qingqi waved his hand nonchalantly and said, ¡°it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll get someone to build a training ground.¡± Hong Yu¡¯s face immediately broke into a smile, and he left the classroom.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The others were already used to his rich appearance. After chatting for a while, they began to carry out the special training according to the items on the schedule. Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao to a small forest area. There were some ordinary-grade demon beasts here. They came to a bramble forest, it was full of thorns. The first thing Xiaoxiao had to do was to train its speed and techniques, and also how to quickly kill the enemy with one strike. ¡°Xiaoxiao, go through this bramble forest.¡± Xiaoxiao looked at the forest and felt scared. It grunted softly. ¡°No, I¡¯m scared.¡± Hearing Xiaoxiao¡¯s timid voice, Zhang Yi immediately encouraged it, ¡°you can do it. I believe in you.¡± ¡°Through this training, no one can hurt you anymore.¡± Zhang Yi tried to persuade it. He wanted Xiaoxiao to train its skill, the Dark Nether Stinger. He had never seen it use the skill before. He wanted Xiaoxiao to know how powerful the Dark Nether Stinger was. Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the scene where it was attacked by other demon beasts and then ran away after getting injured. It immediately curled up and rolled toward the bramble forest in front of her. After Xiaoxiao had perfectly passed through the bramble forest, he pointed at a bird on the tree and shouted, ¡°Dark Nether Stinger!¡± The spikes on Xiaoxiao¡¯s body flew towards the bird and pierced through it. When the bird on the tree fell, the spikes instantly flew back to Xiaoxiao¡¯s back. Zhang Yi looked at the bird that fell and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Well done!¡± Zhang Yi rubbed its belly and continued to instruct it to train. After training for a few hours, Zhang Yi looked at Xiaoxiao who had completely mastered the Dark Nether Stinger. A gratified smile appeared on his face. When the training was over, Zhang Yi grabbed Xiaoxiao and placed it on his shoulder, then walked toward the exit of the forest. ¡°Well done! I¡¯ll cook you some chicken when we get back!¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, a cheerful voice sounded in his mind. ¡°Yes!¡± Zhang Yi smiled and continued walking. At this moment, a wild boar suddenly rushed out from the side and rushed toward Zhang Yi. A white light flashed and a hole appeared on the body of the wild boar in front of him. Then, one light flashed after another and the wild boar fell to the ground, its face completely disfigured. Zhang Yi rubbed Xiaoxiao¡¯s head. He felt very happy. Xiaoxiao, who had mastered a skill, had become a little more powerful than before. He continued to walk towards the exit and passed by the other people who were training. He watched as a hound bit off a piece of the demon beast¡¯s flesh. When Zhang Yi saw this scene, goosebumps appeared all over his body. He rubbed her arms with her hands. In front of him was Yu Shiyin¡¯s Hui Xi Sheep. A few hundred meters ahead was Li Kun¡¯s Qifeng Mountain Eagle. She did not see Yu Qingqi¡¯s Snow Jade Sable training until he walked out of the forest. Just as Zhang Yi was puzzled, he heard Yu Qingqi¡¯s voice. ¡°Master!¡± Then, a person stood in front of him. ¡°Master, are you done training?¡± Yu Qingqi said with a smile. Zhang Yi nodded and replied, ¡°yes.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s affirmative answer, Yu Qingqi¡¯s face instantly fell. ¡°So soon?¡± As Yu Qingqi said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi instantly had a bad premonition. As expected, he heard Yu Qingqi¡¯s next words. ¡°Since master has finished his training, help me train Xiao Yu!¡± Without waiting for Zhang Yi¡¯s reply, he pulled Zhang Yi to the newly built training ground suitable for the Snow Jade Sable. No wonder he did not see Yu Qingqi. It turned out that he was outside the forest zone. Zhang Yi looked at the huge training ground and clicked his tongue. He was so rich! If he became so rich, he would definitely let Zhang Ru have delicious food every day. He would buy a lot of materials for Xiaoxiao to level up. He had to be happy every day! Two hours later, Zhang Yi helped Yu Qingqi train his subdued beast. He also told him some training methods and techniques. After leaving school, he walked home on the street. During this time, she went to Central Park and caught a chicken. After returning to the house, he was just about to open the door when a girl walked out from the next door house. She came to Zhang Yi¡¯s side with a red face and whispered with her head lowered, ¡°my mom isn¡¯t home today. Can I come to your house for dinner?¡± Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°sure.¡± After saying that, he reached out to open the door and let her walk in front. Zhang Ru heard the sound of the door opening and immediately ran to the door to welcome her brother. She did not see her brother. Instead, she saw a girl with her head lowered. From the looks of it, she should be a little older, probably 15 years old. Zhang Ru froze on the spot. How did a stranger enter her house!! ¡°Who are you? I¡¯m telling you, hurry up and get out! My brother will be back soon!¡± ¡°He¡¯s very powerful!¡± Zhang Ru took a step back. If the girl wanted to hit her, she would not be able to fight back at all. Zhang Ru kept thinking, ¡®what should I do? Why isn¡¯t my brother back yet!¡¯ Just as Zhang Yi was about to enter the door, the girl in front suddenly stopped moving. Just as Zhang Yi was puzzled, he heard Zhang Ru¡¯s timid voice. Zhang Yi was very happy to hear her say that he was very powerful. It seemed that she was treating the neighbor next door as a bad person. He immediately opened his mouth to break the atmosphere.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. She¡¯s a neighbor who¡¯s here for dinner.¡± As the voice rang out, Zhang Yi¡¯s figure also appeared in the small house. Seeing Zhang Yi appear, Zhang Ru immediately rushed over and hugged Zhang Yi. God knows how scared she was just now! After seeing Zhang Yi, her heart immediately heaved a sigh of relief. So she was not a bad person. A minute later, Zhang Yi explained the situation to Zhang Ru, and she apologized to the girl. She had misunderstood. After Zhang Yi saw the two of them happily playing together, he grabbed the chicken and walked into the kitchen. First, he cooked the chicken and put it in the fire to cook. Then, he started to cook dinner for the day. Zhang Ru, who was in the living room, learned that the girl¡¯s name was Xiaowei. At this moment, they were watching a TV series together. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yi came out with dishes one after another. Then, he called out to the two people in the living room who were watching TV. ¡°It¡¯s time to eat!¡± Hearing the voice, they immediately stood up, walked to the dining table, and sat down, waiting for Zhang Yi to take a seat. In a few minutes, Zhang Yi took the chicken that she had prepared for Xiaoxiao and put it on the table. ¡°You can start eating now.¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Meanwhile, Zhang Ru was staring at the chicken in front of Xiaoxiao, her hands holding her chopsticks as she kept poking at the rice in her bowl. Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Yi glanced at Zhang Ru and said, ¡°eat properly. Why are you poking at it?¡± After hearing this, Zhang Ru said sullenly, ¡°brother, you don¡¯t love me anymore!¡± Zhang Yi was confused. Why did she suddenly have such a statement? ¡°Why is Xiaoxiao¡¯s food better than ours!¡± Zhang Ru¡¯s voice became louder and louder. As she said this, she reached out her hand to wipe pretend tears from her eyes. When they heard this, Zhang Yi and Xiaowei looked at Xiaoxiao¡¯s roasted chicken, then looked at the two vegetables and meat that they had eaten. Zhang Yi pouted and said, ¡°it doesn¡¯t cost money to feed Xiaoxiao. What we eat costs money.¡± After saying that, she ignored Zhang Ru¡¯s dramatic expression and quickly finished the meal. After sending Xiaowei away, they went back to their rooms to rest. The next day, Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao into the school and walked into the classroom that belonged to Class 1. Today was the day when Hong Yu tested the results of the day¡¯s training. After everyone had arrived, they headed to the forest of the school together. When they arrived at the forest, they saw Hong Yu standing at the entrance, waiting for them. After waiting for them to arrive, Hong Yu said, ¡°today is the time to test the results of your familiars¡¯ training.¡± After saying that, he led them into the forest. Yu Qingqi, who was following behind them, said in a low voice, ¡°what? It¡¯s only been a day of training.¡± Li Kun, who was beside them, agreed, ¡°that¡¯s right. If we didn¡¯t perform well, won¡¯t we be finished?¡± Hong Yu, who was walking in front, listened to their whispers and did not interrupt them. He led them all the way to the middle of the forest. When Hong Yu stopped, they also stopped. They saw a large iron cage. There was a demon beast in the cage. When Zhang Yi saw the demon beast, its data appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Shroud Cattle] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Rock] [Grade: High] [Status: Angry] [Weakness: Lightning] [Evolution route: ¡­] Did he want them to deal with a Shroud Cattle? ¡°From now on, each of you will be responsible for one Shroud Cattle.¡± ¡°If you successfully defeat it, it means that you have trained well. If you fail, it means that you have not trained seriously!¡± ¡°Of course, there will be rewards if you succeed, and there will also be punishments if you fail!¡± After hearing that, Zhang Yi doubted that the rewards would be very great. Yu Qingqi¡¯s tone carried a hint of excitement. He asked, ¡°what are the rewards and punishments?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know what the rewards are when you successfully defeat them.¡± ¡°I can tell you very clearly that the punishment is ten times the amount of training.¡± Hearing the punishment, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Ten times the amount of training! Were they not going to train their familiars to death?! ¡°Let¡¯s get Qingqi to be the first to start!¡± Hong Yu said as he stood to the side. Yu Qingqi, who was called, had a look of disbelief on his face. Who would have thought that he would be the first to start? After calming himself down, he walked forward resolutely and got the Snow Jade Sable to prepare. Hearing Hong Yu¡¯s order, the Shroud Cattle, who had been quietly waiting in the cage, immediately flew into a rage and rushed out. Yu Qingqi immediately commanded the Snow Jade Sable to deal with it. Half an hour later, the Snow Jade Sable fell to the ground, and the Shroud Cattle returned to the cage. Hong Yu looked at Yu Qingqi and said, ¡°it¡¯s alright. Train more in the future instead of gossiping behind other people¡¯s back.¡± ¡°Next! Li Kun!¡± Hearing Hong Yu¡¯s words, Yu Qingqi¡¯s expression immediately changed. He did not expect that he had heard everything. He brought the Snow Jade Sable back to the team and watched the others deal with the Shroud Cattle. Li Kun panicked when his name was called, but he quickly regained his resolve. His familiar was on the same level as the Shroud Cattle. In addition, he had trained hard, he believed that he would definitely win in the end. He walked forward confidently. After the Qifeng Mountain Eagle was ready, the Shroud Cattle rushed out.. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Kun commanded the eagle to attack the Shroud Cattle. Half an hour later, there was still no winner. An hour later, there was still no winner. ¡°Stop! It¡¯s a draw.¡± As Hong Yu spoke, the Shroud Cattle stopped and stood to the side. Next were Yu Shiyin and Qi Yu. Qi Yu barely managed to hit the Shroud Cattle in the end, while Yu Shiyin completely crushed it. They both successfully attacked the Shroud Cattle. ¡°The last one, Zhang Yi!¡± As Hong Yu spoke, he looked at Zhang Yi, who was walking over. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He was very much looking forward to how Zhang Yi¡¯s subdued beast would fight, as well as how Zhang Yi would command it. With an order, the Shroud Cattle charged towards Xiaoxiao. ¡°Dark Nether Stinger!¡± Following Zhang Yi¡¯s shout, a few white shadows flashed past, stabbing heavily into the Shroud Cattle¡¯s body. However, the attack did not seem to be able to harm it. The Shroud Cattle charged over without any reaction. ¡°Surround it.¡± Zhang Yi commanded. Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao immediately curled up into a ball and continuously flashed around the Shroud Cattle. Its speed was so fast that only a light shadow was left behind. ¡°Dark Nether Stinger.¡± As soon as he said this, more than ten thorns immediately flew out from Xiaoxiao¡¯s body. The thorns landed on the Shroud Cattle¡¯s body, and all the surrounding areas were pierced. The Shroud Cattle roared and attacked Xiaoxiao. After being hit by it, Xiaoxiao flew out and fell to the ground. It immediately stood up and kept shooting thorns at the Shroud Cattle. After more than ten minutes of fighting, Xiaoxiao won by a narrow margin. After watching the whole battle, everyone admired Zhang Yi¡¯s leadership. They all felt that his leadership was very good. After all the familiars¡¯ training results were verified, Hong Yu waved his hand. Immediately, someone appeared and took the Shroud Cattle away. ¡°All of you did well. Keep up the good work.¡± Hong Yu said. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with joy. Only Yu Qingqi had a long face. This was because only his familiar had failed. His familiar had to undergo ten times the amount of training. As its master, he was still very distressed. ¡°What¡¯s the reward?¡± Yu Shiyin asked. The ominous premonition in Zhang Yi¡¯s heart grew stronger and stronger. ¡°The reward is¡­¡± He paused, causing everyone to be anxious. They could not sit still. Everyone saw his smile grow bigger and bigger, and then they heard him say, ¡°double the training!¡± ¡°How is it? Is this reward good?¡± Hearing Hong Yu¡¯s words, everyone was instantly at a loss for words. They did not know how to describe their current feelings. The corners of Zhang Yi¡¯s mouth twitched. He never thought that the reward would actually be double the training. However, this was not a big deal. It could also allow Xiaoxiao to quickly increase her strength. ¡°Hurry up and go train now!¡± Hong Yu, who was still smiling a moment ago, shouted with a stern face. Everyone immediately scattered and began their training. After a few weeks of training, the combat strength of all the subdued beasts continued to soar. In addition, Hong Yu tested them every other week. These subdued beasts were already comparable to the Swift Edge Bear during their combat assessment. After they completed their training tests again¡­ ¡°Very good! After a few weeks of training, your familiars are already very outstanding.¡± ¡°Next week, we¡¯ll be going to the Middle Forest District to train.¡± ¡°The Middle Forest District?¡± ¡°Our familiars are still at the high-grade level. Why aren¡¯t we going to the Low Forest District?¡± Yu Qingqi asked doubtfully. With their current situation, they could totally go to the Middle Forest District. Why would they go to the Low Forest District? ¡°Because the Low Forest District is more dangerous than all the other forest districts,¡± Yu Shiyin said with a frown. ¡°Do you still remember the news a few weeks ago? The Low Forest District is filled with all levels of Giant Xing Centipede.¡± ¡°Not to mention the huge number, until now, we still haven¡¯t found the Centipede King,¡± Yu Shiyin added. After listening to it, Zhang Yi¡¯s heart was full of surprise. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been solved yet?¡± Yu Qingqi asked what Zhang Yi wanted to ask. Yu Shiyin shook her head. Hong Yu heard their conversation and silently glanced at Yu Shiyin. These were all confidential to the outside world. How did she know? It seemed like she had a complicated identity! ¡°Alright, you guys hurry up and train,¡± Hong Yu urged them and then left the training ground. After the training, Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao home. After dinner, he trained Xiaoxiao at the main entrance. The middle forest district was filled with excellent and perfect-grade demon beasts. As for their own subdued beasts, they were only high-grade. They were no match for them at all! While Zhang Yi was training Xiaoxiao, a middle-aged woman was standing at the entrance of the next-door house. She did not open the door and walk into the house. Instead, she looked at Zhang Yi and Xiaoxiao for a long time. ¡°That¡¯s not how spirit-type subdued beasts are trained.¡± After saying that, she reached out to open the door and started walking into the house. Hearing the voice, Zhang Yi was shocked. After thinking about what she had said, he stood up in a flash and quickly blocked her way. Zhang Yi asked in surprise, ¡°what do you mean by that?¡± She had only looked at him for a short while before she knew that his familiar was a spirit-type, which meant that she must be a person who hid her abilities well! ¡°What I mean is that your training method is wrong.¡± After saying that, the middle-aged woman glanced at Zhang Yi¡¯s hand that was blocking her way, indicating for him to let her in. After seeing her gaze, Zhang Yi immediately put down her hand and followed her in.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Then how should I train?¡± Zhang Yi stopped and asked. It was not that he did not want to go in, but that he was blocked. ¡°The spirit element is known as the most terrifying because they are best at killing. Only when they kill will they grow.¡± After saying that, the woman exerted all her strength, trying to close the door. Zhang Yi took a few steps back, and with a bang, the door in front of him was closed. Zhang Yi lowered his head and looked at Xiaoxiao, deep in thought. After hearing what she said, Zhang Yi realized that Xiaoxiao was indeed only emitting netherworld aura when it was fighting with demon beasts. The woman next door was actually so powerful! He would bring Xiaoxiao to try it tomorrow! The next morning, Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao out after eating. The forest in the city was either too dangerous, or their levels were not high enough yet. The only place he could go was the school. Although it was the weekend, the school was still open. The two of them went to the forest of the school and began to look for demon beasts. In the middle of the forest, an octopus appeared. The demon beast¡¯s information appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Poison Torture Octopus] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Water] [Grade: High] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Fire] Zhang Yi was confused. ¡®Weren¡¯t all the demon beasts in the forest ordinary-grade?¡¯ Why would a high-grade demon beast appear? Just as Zhang Yi was confused, the octopus spat out a stream of black ink at him. Zhang Yi quickly dodged it. Before Zhang Yi could open his mouth to command Xiaoxiao, he saw a shadow rush up with a whoosh. Then, the octopus reached out to grab Xiaoxiao, but it was stabbed by the sharp thorns on Xiaoxiao¡¯s body. The octopus let go of Xiaoxiao. As Xiaoxiao was falling down, the sharp thorns on its body immediately flew towards the octopus. When Xiaoxiao steadied itself, it circled around the octopus, trying to make it dizzy. After circling around it a few times, the octopus¡¯s tentacles were all tied together. Xiaoxiao saw the opportunity and flew toward it. In less than half an hour, the octopus fell to the ground. Just as Xiaoxiao was about to give it a final blow, Xiaoxiao was stopped. ¡°Wait!¡± Two voices rang out at the same time. One came from Zhang Yi. Before he could see clearly, the octopus was already knocked to the ground. The other came from a girl who had rushed over in a hurry. She had been looking for her subdued beast. When she found it, she actually saw this scene. Seeing that Xiaoxiao was no longer attacking the octopus, the girl immediately ran to its side. Looking at the wounds on its body, her heart felt like it was cut by a knife. Zhang Yi waved for Xiaoxiao to return to his side. Looking at the sad girl, he felt very apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know it was your familiar,¡± Zhang Yi walked up and said. The girl completely ignored Zhang Yi, completely immersed in her own sorrow. He took out the ointment he often used before and handed it to the girl. ¡°This is golden widow ointment. It can help your familiar recover from its injuries quickly.¡± Hearing this, the girl raised her head and took the ointment from Zhang Yi. Then, she applied it on the octopus. Ten minutes later, the octopus¡¯s injuries had indeed recovered a little. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry.¡± Zhang Yi apologized again. The girl shook her head and said, ¡°it¡¯s not your fault. It¡¯s all because of it running around. I don¡¯t blame you.¡± ¡°How about this? I can help you evolve your subdued beast once for free. Give me your contact information,¡± Zhang Yi said. However, the girl looked at Zhang Yi in disbelief. Looking at him like this, she did not believe that he could help her subdued beast evolve. However, they still exchanged contact details. Zhang Yi sighed as he walked out of the school, gently tapping Xiaoxiao¡¯s tiny head. He was wondering why there were high-grade demonic beasts in the forest. So it was someone else¡¯s subdued beast. He could only give her subdued beast a free evolution. Sighing, he walked down the street and saw a candy store. He walked in and wanted to buy some for Zhang Ru to eat. After buying the candy, he took Xiaoxiao home. When he opened the door, he peeked at the door next door. The door was closed. He walked into the house and looked down at Xiaoxiao. ¡°Looks like we need evidence to catch her red-handed. We need to prove that she is an expert.¡± Xiaoxiao¡¯s reply immediately rang in his mind. ¡°Mm-hmm! Evidence to catch her red-handed!¡± Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°are you a repeater?¡± When he stepped into the living room, he felt two pairs of eyes looking at him. Zhang Yi looked over and found that Xiaowei was actually at his house. ¡°Xiaowei? You¡¯re here to freeload again?¡± Zhang Yi said. He was already used to it. These few days, around this time, Xiaowei would come over to eat. Every time, the excuse was the same. Her mother was not at home. After putting the candy on the table, he walked into the kitchen. When Zhang Ru saw the candy, her eyes lit up. She loudly said to the kitchen, ¡°brother, you¡¯re so nice!¡± After saying that, she opened the candy wrapper. She even gave half of the candy to Xiaowei. When Zhang Yi heard that, he pursed his lips. Normally, she would not say that he was nice. When they had finished their dinner, Zhang Yi was training Xiaoxiao at the door. He wanted to do what he did yesterday. He wanted the woman to see him and then give him some pointers. After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yi did not see the woman. He was so sleepy that he started to doze off. Just as Zhang Yi was about to drift into dreamland, he felt an itch under his feet. Zhang Yi opened her eyes in a daze and saw the woman walking toward him. Suddenly, he was not so sleepy anymore. He brought Xiaoxiao back home, took the ladder up to the wall, and stared at the ground below.. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing the woman walk into the door and walk straight back to her room, Zhang Yi immediately picked up the binoculars to check. He watched as she sat in front of the table. She picked up a book and began to flip through it. Half an hour had passed, but her movements had not changed at all. Disappointed, Zhang Yi put down his binoculars and came down from the ladder. He sighed and said, ¡°could it be that I guessed wrong?¡± ¡°She knows this information because she has read more books?¡± After saying that, he took the ladder down and put it down. Then, he took Xiaoxiao back to her room to rest. The next day, Zhang Yi was woken up by a strong knock on the door. He woke up in a daze, walked to the door, and opened it. Xiaowei rushed in. After a few days of freeloading, she had become very familiar with Zhang Yi¡¯s family. She was no longer shy like when they first met. Now, she was even a little fierce. She must have been influenced by Zhang Ru! ¡°Why are you here so early?¡± Zhang Yi yawned and said with his eyes slightly closed. ¡°It¡¯s not early anymore! It¡¯s already noon,¡± Xiaowei said and walked into the house. Zhang Yi closed the door and followed behind her. Hearing her words, the sleepiness in his mind instantly disappeared. ¡°It¡¯s already noon?!¡± Zhang Yi said in disbelief. He looked at the weather outside. The sun was already high up in the sky. He did not expect to wake up so late. He must have observed for too long last night. ¡°Go and wake Zhang Ru up.¡± After saying that, Zhang Yi went back to her room to wash up. Not long after, Zhang Yi walked into the kitchen. After making breakfast, he happened to see them coming down. He waved for them to come over and eat breakfast. Ten minutes later, after eating, Zhang Yi left the house. Today, he was going to earn money. With the money he earned, he was going to apply for a cultivation certificate. He came to the street and paced back and forth in front of the cultivation clinic. The more he walked, the more depressed he became. He had never found a suitable target. He sighed and found a seat to sit down. He planned to sit down and observe. After all, it was too tiring to stand all the time. While Zhang Yi was chatting with the old man beside him, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He immediately stood up and took a closer look. He realized that it was the Poison Torture Octopus that Xiaoxiao had injured yesterday. The data of the Poison Torture Octopus appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Poison Torture Octopus] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Water] [Grade: High] [Status: Weak, tired] [Weakness: Fire] [Evolution path: ¡­] After reading the message, Zhang Yi realized that the octopus had failed to evolve. What made Zhang Yi curious was that the octopus had been injured yesterday, and she attempted to evolve it today? Shaking his head, he stopped thinking and walked to the girl in large strides. He smiled at her and said, ¡°hello, we meet again.¡± The girl was so scared that she shivered. After looking at Zhang Yi¡¯s face, she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Hello, what a coincidence. Are you also here to help your subdued beast evolve?¡± the girl said. Zhang Yi shook her head and said, ¡°no, I¡¯m here to help your subdued beast evolve.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you contact me if you wanted to evolve your subdued beast?¡± Zhang Yi asked doubtfully. The girl did not know how to answer him for a moment, and an awkward smile appeared on her face. She could say that she did not trust him, right? Zhang Yi immediately understood when she saw her expression. She did not trust him. No matter. Yu Qingqi did not trust him the first time either, and in the end, he acknowledged him as his teacher. ¡°Seeing your subdued beast like this, it must have failed to evolve.¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, she saw the girl nod her head. ¡°I have a way to help your subdued beast successfully evolve, but I need you to buy the materials.¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, she kept observing the girl¡¯s facial expression and realized that she was still a little hesitant. ¡°How about this? If the evolution fails, I¡¯ll compensate you for the materials.¡± Finally, after some persuasion, the girl nodded and said, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry, I guarantee that your subdued beast will successfully evolve.¡± As she said that, she brought her to the materials department store. Zhang Yi listed out the required materials, and the girl took out the materials according to his instructions. In less than three minutes, they had bought the required materials. Arriving at the free mixing room, Zhang Yi took the materials and walked in. Following the practical steps in his mind, he placed the ingredients into the pot and boiled them one by one. Half an hour later, Zhang Yi came out with a bowl of blue sticky stuff. He placed the bowl in front of the girl and said, ¡°give this to it to drink and it will evolve successfully.¡± The girl frowned as she looked at the bowl in front of her and immediately decided not to try it. Zhang Yi saw that it did not move for a long time, so he placed the bowl in her hand. ¡°This bowl of food can not only allow it to successfully evolve, but it can also heal its wounds.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, the girl gritted her teeth and poured the bowl of food into the octopus¡¯s mouth. Zhang Yi was shocked when she saw her action. She looked quite weak, but why was her action so fierce? Just as the octopus swallowed the food, it spat out a large amount of ink. It dyed the floor with ink. The two of them were so scared that they hid far away, afraid that they would be stained. After the octopus spat for a minute, its tentacles started to wave. It kept flapping around and even splashed the ink on the floor everywhere. Chapter 21 Zhang Yi¡¯s mouth twitched. This was the first time he had seen an octopus evolve, and he did not expect it to be so messy. Not only was there a large amount of ink, but it was also waving its tentacles non-stop. This was truly an eye-opener! Five minutes later, the octopus stopped moving and came in front of the girl. The data about the octopus in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind changed. [Demon beast name: Poison Torture Octopus] [Level: Level 11] [Attributes: Water] [Grade: High] [Status: Spirited, excited] [Weakness: Fire] [Evolution path: ¡­] Seeing that the octopus had successfully evolved, Zhang Yi nodded. ¡°It has successfully evolved,¡± he said to the girl. The girl had also noticed the change in the octopus. After knowing that it had successfully evolved, she was overjoyed. The smile on her face grew wider and wider. She turned her head to Zhang Yi and said, ¡°thank you for helping my subdued beast evolve!¡± Zhang Yi waved his hand and said, ¡°no need. Take it as an apology.¡± After saying that, Zhang Yi turned around and was about to leave to find his target when the girl behind him suddenly called out to him. ¡°Wait!¡± The girl came in front of Zhang Yi and blocked his way. ¡°My name is Jin Qiwei. This is the reward for helping my subdued beast evolve.¡± After saying that, she stuffed a card into Zhang Yi¡¯s hand, then quickly left the place with the octopus. Zhang Yi looked down at the card in his hand and saw that there were 20,000 alliance dollars inside. Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, then grabbed the card and walked out of the place. After walking for half an hour, he finally arrived at the place where they were supposed to get the cultivation certificate. The cultivation certificate was not that easy to obtain. It was said that the exam questions every year were extremely difficult. There were A, B, C, D, E, and F-grades for cultivation experts. The highest grade was A-grade, and the lowest grade was F-grade. In the entire Yiqi city, the highest level cultivation expert was only D-grade. Although the cultivation certificate was the hardest certificate to take, there were still many people who came to take the exam every year. Zhang Yi never expected that he would have to pay 2,000 alliance dollars just to apply for the examination. He gritted his teeth and handed over the money. Once he obtained this certificate, he would not need to worry about being short of money. Thinking of this, Zhang Yi felt a lot better. Zhang Yi walked into the building. There were a total of ten people, and they were the fifth batch to enter the examination. A middle-aged man stood in front and said, ¡°the content of the F-grade examination is to refine the fire dispersing powder within an hour.¡± ¡°Time starts now!¡± After saying that, he began to patrol. When Zhang Yi heard the question, his eyes lit up. He had made the fire dispersing powder before! He was very confident and took the materials on the table and started to make them. Half an hour later, Zhang Yi scattered the finished fire dispersing powder on the table and waited for the examiner to come over and check. Not long after, the examiner walked to Zhang Yi¡¯s side and took a look. He saw that Zhang Yi had stopped moving. He asked, ¡°are you done?¡± Zhang Yi nodded his head, and the examiner was immediately surprised. If one did not have full confidence in refining the fire dispersing powder, an hour was considered a short time. He did not expect that this young man would actually finish making it in such a short time. The examiner picked up the fire dispersing powder on Zhang Yi¡¯s desk and began to examine it. After finding that there were no problems, he announced, ¡°Candidate No. 19 has completed the production!¡± Not long after the examiner finished speaking, a staff member walked to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. He brought Zhang Yi to the E-grade cultivator assessment venue. After waiting for five minutes, he saw an old man walk in. The old man looked around and nodded. He said, ¡°The E-grade assessment is to help the ordinary-grade demon beasts in the cage evolve into high-grade demon beasts.¡± After the old man finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and dozens of staff walked in with the cages. The demon beasts in each cage were different. The demon beast in front of Zhang Yi was a squirrel. Its data appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Concrete Rat] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Wood] [Grade: Ordinary] [Status: Pleasant] [Weakness: Fire/Lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution route: ¡­] After reading the information, Zhang Yi confidently boiled a pot of water, then picked up the ingredients on the table and prepared them one by one. He put the ingredients into the pot at the right time. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yi took out a bowl of black stuff and walked in front of the Concrete Rat. He wanted the Concrete Rat to drink the bowl of liquid, but it was very resistant. As long as Zhang Yi brought the bowl in front of it, it would turn its head away. Seeing that it was still not drinking, Zhang Yi grabbed it and forced the bowl of water into its mouth. You don¡¯t want to drink? I personally made this for you. If you go outside, it would be expensive! Just as Zhang Yi was waiting for the Concrete Rat to evolve, there was a commotion behind him. Zhang Yi turned around and saw a white cat lying on the ground, twitching non-stop. Its data appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Xixuan Cat] [Level: Level 9] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: Normal] [Status: Near death] [Requirements to advance to high grade: ¡­] [Evolution route: ¡­] This person was indeed stupid. He actually fed yuan xi grass to a wind-type demon beast. At this moment, the examiner walked in front of the demon beast and announced coldly, ¡°Candidate number 40 has failed the assessment!¡± He waved at the staff member and someone immediately walked to his side. ¡°Give this demon beast to the research staff to be treated.¡± With that, the staff took the cat away.. Chapter 22 Not long after, they brought the Xixuan Cat back. The examiner looked very confused, and even Zhang Yi was confused. The person only said, ¡°the researcher said that it¡¯s hopeless.¡± Hearing this, the examiner pondered for a moment and said, ¡°euthanize it.¡± When he said this, Zhang Yi immediately frowned. Although he advocated keeping a low profile, this Xixuan Cat could still be saved. Could this so-called scientific researcher not save it? He had never been a person who stood idly by when a living creature could be saved. So, he took a step forward and said loudly, ¡°wait! This cat can still be saved!¡± His voice was particularly loud in this quiet environment. It attracted the attention of many people. Even the researcher who was elsewhere was attracted by the voice. Zhang Yi strode over and stopped the worker. The researcher felt like slapping his face when he saw how confident he was. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, kid! It can¡¯t be saved!¡± the researcher pointed at Zhang Yi and said. Zhang Yi said very calmly, ¡°just because you can¡¯t save it doesn¡¯t mean that others can¡¯t save it.¡± As he said this, he reach for the cage containing the Xixuan Cat. Before she could take it, the researcher snatched it away. At this moment, a white-haired old man walked out of the room next to them. He walked to Zhang Yi¡¯s side and looked at Zhang Yi. ¡°Are you really confident that you can save this Xixuan Cat?¡± Zhang Yi nodded and said confidently, ¡°of course!¡± As soon as he said that, the researcher who opposed him immediately said, ¡°Professor Feng, this kid is obviously lying!¡± After hearing his words, Zhang Yi shook his head at Professor Feng and said firmly, ¡°I¡¯m not lying!¡± ¡°Instead, it¡¯s you! You¡¯re the one who is letting the Xixuan Cat die!¡± The researcher was about to speak when Professor Feng interrupted him. ¡°Kid, I¡¯ll let you try for now.¡± Looking at Zhang Yi¡¯s young appearance, Professor Feng did not really believe that he could do it. He was the only one who said that there was still hope for the Xixuan Cat. Now, he could only try his best. After he finished speaking, he took the Xixuan Cat and handed it to Zhang Yi. After Zhang Yi took it, he brought it to his table and began to prepare the ingredients. Half an hour later, he fed the concocted soup to the Xixuan Cat. Everyone stared at his movements. The researcher stared at Zhang Yi¡¯s movements. If he was not careful, he would come forward and blame him. After the cat drank all the decoction, a few minutes later, the violently twitching cat suddenly quieted down. After lying in the cage for a minute, it slowly stood up. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened when they saw this scene. They were very surprised. Was this still the cat that was on the verge of death just now? By the look of it now, they could not tell that it was on the verge of death at all. Everyone saw that the cat¡¯s sharp claws instantly expanded by 10 centimeters, and its eyes were so black that they were shining. A few minutes later, Xixuan Cat had completed its evolution. The data of its evolution appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Xixuan Cat] [Level: Level 9] [Attributes: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Excited, happy] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] After Zhang Yi finished reading the data, a smile appeared on his face. Professor Feng was also a little surprised when he saw the Xixuan Cat stand up, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face. He did not expect Zhang Yi to be so powerful at such a young age. After the researchers saw it, their faces changed drastically. They walked to Zhang Yi¡¯s assessment site, looked at the evolved Xixuan Cat, and nodded repeatedly. Professor Feng now completely believed in Zhang Yi¡¯s strength. He patted Zhang Yi¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Well done, young man.¡± Zhang Yi smiled and did not say anything else. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Professor Feng asked. ¡°My name is Zhang Yi, Candidate number 30,¡± Zhang Yi answered honestly. When the researcher at the side heard this, he said, ¡°you¡¯re an examinee, but you¡¯re not taking the assessment. What are you doing here?¡± The researcher finally had something on him. He was waiting to throw Zhang Yi out! When Zhang Yi heard his words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, ¡°I¡¯m taking the assessment.¡± As he said that, he pointed at his own seat. At this moment, the examiner walked over and said, ¡°this examinee is taking the E-class assessment. He has already completed the assessment.¡± As he said that, he took the Concrete Rat from Zhang Yi¡¯s table. After showing it to everyone, he put it back in its original position. When Professor Feng saw this, a gratified smile appeared on his face. ¡°Very good! On behalf of the Cultivation Association, I will directly award you with a D-grade cultivation certificate,¡± Professor Feng said. Everyone was shocked. Obtaining a D-grade cultivation certificate without taking the test, this had never happened before! The researcher quickly said, ¡°Professor Feng, this can¡¯t do! He hasn¡¯t even taken the test, how can he directly award the D-grade certificate?!¡± When Professor Feng heard his words, his face turned cold and he said coldly, ¡°you still have the face to say that!¡± ¡°A scientific researcher can¡¯t even compare to an examinee who is currently taking the E-grade examination.¡± ¡°You even made a wrong judgment! What right do you have to say that Zhang Yi can¡¯t be awarded that certificate!¡± The more the professor spoke, the lower the head of the scientific researcher became. Professor Feng looked at Zhang Yi and a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Young man, come with me to get the certificate.¡± A few minutes later, Zhang Yi was walking on the street with a D-grade cultivation certificate. He could not stop smiling. Everything had happened too quickly.. He had not expected that by saving a cat, he would be able to skip the D-grade examination and get her D-grade certificate directly! Chapter 23 I did not spend the 2,000 dollars in vain! Zhang Yi saw a shop on the street and walked in. After picking up a few delicious snacks and paying the bill, he headed back home. When he reached home, he opened the door and walked in. He was instantly stunned. He saw that the house was a mess. There were tissues everywhere on the sofa, and there were water stains everywhere on the floor. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi¡¯s forehead twitched and he shouted, ¡°Zhang Ru!!¡± After taking a few deep breaths in the living room, Zhang Ru walked out with Xiaoxiao. She hopped to Zhang Yi¡¯s side and smiled fawningly, saying, ¡°I took good care of Xiaoxiao. look.¡± As she said that, she lifted Xiaoxiao up so that he could see it clearly. Zhang Yi looked at Xiaoxiao. It had a hopeless expression on its face as it shook its head slightly and called out twice. ¡°It¡¯s too scary! It¡¯s really too scary! Boohoo.¡± Zhang Yi heard Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice in his mind and hugged Xiaoxiao with great heartache. After comforting Xihe aoxiao for a while, she looked at Zhang Ru with a cold face. Zhang Ru did not dare to move when he looked at her like that. She stood still obediently. ¡°Clean up this place, or you won¡¯t be able to have dinner!¡± Zhang Yi carried Xiaoxiao into the kitchen after saying that. When he came out again, he saw a brand new living room. Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Alright, come and have dinner.¡± Ten minutes later, after Zhang Yi finished eating, he suddenly remembered the snacks he bought today. He walked into the kitchen and took out the snacks and placed them in front of Zhang Ru. Zhang Ru¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the snacks. She stood up abruptly and took the snacks. She looked at the snacks and said, ¡°brother, you¡¯re so nice! Did you earn some money today? Did you buy all these snacks?¡± The corner of Zhang Yi¡¯s mouth twitched and he said snappily, ¡°no, I stole all of them.¡± After saying that, he ignored Zhang Ru¡¯s reaction and walked straight back to his room. The moment she closed the door, he heard Zhang Ru say, ¡°you¡¯re feeding me all these junk food, please bear the responsibility!¡± Bang! Zhang Yi slammed the door. Zhang Ru was shocked by the sound. Soon, she took the snacks and happily went back to her room. The next morning, Zhang Yi and Xiaoxiao walked out of the door and knocked on the door next door. Not long after, the door was opened. Xiaowei stuck her head out to take a look, and when she saw it was Zhang Yi, she immediately let her guard down. She asked, ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Yi pointed to the house and said, ¡°help me take care of Zhang Ru.¡± Before Xiaowei could say anything, Zhang Yi ran off into the distance. A loud sound of the door closing came from behind. Zhang Yi rubbed his nose and walked towards the school. He went into the forest and began training Xiaoxiao. A week later, the 400 hundred beastmasters gathered at the school¡¯s entrance. They got into the car under Hong Yu¡¯s lead. An hour later, they arrived at the Middle Forest District. Standing at the entrance of the Middle Forest District, Hong Yu held a megaphone and said, ¡°the training period is one week. If there¡¯s any danger, you can press the alarm.¡± ¡°Once the alarm goes off, fireworks will shoot out from the sky. At that time, the hunters will be the first to respond and rescue.¡± After saying that, he got someone to send them an alarm, and they wore it on their wrists. After seeing that they had all put on the alarm device, Hong Yu gave the order. The 400 beastmasters instantly swarmed into the Middle Forest District. Zhang Yi and the others also brought their subdued beasts into the Middle Forest District. ¡°Watch our backs,¡± Zhang Yi said warily. ¡°Will do.¡± After Qi Yu finished speaking, he led the hound to the back of the group. ¡°Li Kun, have your subdued beast fly to the sky and look at the terrain.¡± ¡°The remaining subdued beasts are in front and on both sides,¡± Zhang Yi said. The others nodded and followed Zhang Yi¡¯s instructions, directing their subdued beasts. The few of them followed this formation all the way to the middle of the forest area. They did not encounter a single demon beast along the way. This was all thanks to the mountain eagle. It had been leading them all the way to a place where there were no demon beasts. At this moment, a demon beast dashed out from the bushes beside them. Zhang Yi and the others turned their heads to look. Its entire body was white with a hint of gray. The horn on its head was ten centimeters long. [Demon beast name: Resident Rhinoceros] [Level: Level 9] [Attributes: Combat] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Excited, manic] [Hobbies: Scraping horns, knocking away monsters or humans] [Personality: Incisive] Zhang Yi and the others were all shocked by this monster. Just as they were rejoicing that they had not encountered a demon beast, a demon beast appeared. It was a difficult opponent to deal with. The few of them and their familiars instantly entered combat mode. Then, they commanded their familiars to deal with this rhinoceros. After attacking for a few minutes, Zhang Yi frowned and said to them, ¡°we can¡¯t do this anymore. It¡¯s an excellent-grade demon beast.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re no match for it!¡± Yu Qingqi immediately asked, ¡°then what should we do?¡± Zhang Yi shook his head, and everyone¡¯s attention instantly returned to the rhinoceros. Suddenly, Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes lit up. He came to their side and whispered about his plan. After saying that, they looked at each other and commanded their familiars. All the familiars stood on the side, and the mountain eagle flew around the rhinoceros, scuttling back and forth. When the rhinoceros began to get angry and wanted to use the horn on its head to attack the mountain eagle, the mountain eagle flew up into the air, and the rhinoceros looked up at the sky. At that moment, the hound ran over and bit off a piece of meat from the rhinoceros¡¯ belly. It quickly dodged the attack of the rhinoceros. Seeing this, the eagle flew down again to attract the attention of the rhinoceros. Xiaoxiao¡¯s Dark Nether Stinger instantly flew toward the rhinoceros. There were a few more holes on the rhinoceros¡¯ body, but these did not cause much damage to the rhinoceros. Just as the rhinoceros was looking for Xiaoxiao, Hui Xi Sheep used its horn to ram the rhinoceros. When Hui Xi Sheep was charging, the Snow Jade Sable stretched out its tail and swept it towards the rhinoceros. The rhinoceros immediately fell to the ground. Xiaoxiao waited for the right moment, and the Dark Nether Stinger flew out. It pierced the rhinoceros¡¯s eyes, followed by every part of its body. An hour later, they killed the rhinoceros. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. After resting for a while, they continued walking forward. ¡°That was really close!¡± Yu Qingqi said. ¡°Yeah! Luckily Zhang Yi thought of this idea!¡± Li Kun replied.. Chapter 24 ¡°The demon beasts here are all of higher grade than our subdued beasts. We need to plan well in the future and let our subdued beasts evolve at the same time.¡± Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, then recalled the materials they had picked up in the low forest district. ¡°There are a lot of materials here. Keep them all. Maybe our subdued beasts will need them to evolve in the future.¡± As Zhang Yi spoke, he picked up the materials under his feet and put them into his bag. He pointed at the large patch of grass in front of them and said, ¡°there are also materials in front of us.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they all began to move. As they walked, they picked up the materials along the way. After walking for about half an hour, Li Kun pointed to a spot in front of them and exclaimed, ¡°look, there¡¯s a cave ahead!¡± Everyone immediately stopped and looked at where Li Kun was pointing at. Sure enough, they saw a cave. ¡°Let¡¯s go there as soon as we finish picking the materials.¡± After Zhang Yi said that, her hands moved even faster. In less than three minutes, they finished picking all the materials and hurried to the cave. Seeing that no one was there, they all let out a sigh of relief and put down their bags. This cave was very big, and everyone had their own space. ¡°Let¡¯s rest here for the night,¡± Zhang Yi said. Yu Qingqi replied, ¡°okay!¡± Zhang Yi walked out and picked up some firewood from outside and brought it back into the cave. After lighting it with a torch and fiddling with it for a while, he set up a small pot. Seeing this scene, Yu Qingqi instantly came to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. ¡°Master, have you started making soup?¡± His eyes were shining as he asked. ¡°Yes,¡± Zhang Yi replied as he prepared the ingredients. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s reply, Yu Qingqi¡¯s eyes lit up even more. He returned to his seat and waited for Zhang Yi to make the soup. He was very much looking forward to this soup being made for his subdued beast. Twenty minutes later, Zhang Yi brought the soup to Yu Shiyin. ¡°Let your subdued beast drink this soup. It can raise its grade.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, Yu Shiyin was a little surprised. She did not think that this soup would be for her. However, in her heart, there was a hint of hesitation. When Yu Qingqi heard this, his face immediately fell. He came to Zhang Yi¡¯s side and said, ¡°Master, why are you giving it to her subdued beast?¡± ¡°My subdued beast can also be upgraded to excellent-grade.¡± Zhang Yi replied, ¡°currently, among the few of us, Hui Xi Sheep¡¯s level is the highest.¡± ¡°So, after it¡¯s upgraded to excellent-grade, it won¡¯t be so difficult to deal with demon beasts.¡± Yu Shiyin saw that Yu Qingqi trusted Zhang Yi so much, and she became eager for this medicinal soup. The hesitation in her heart instantly disappeared. She took the soup and fed it to the Hui Xi Sheep. The Hui Xi Sheep, drank the soup and walked to a corner of the cave. It stayed there quietly. Zhang Yi was stunned when he saw this scene. What was going on? Was it not going to evolve? Why was it so well-behaved? He looked at Yu Shiyin, who was at ease. He instantly understood. So this Hui Xi Sheep was so well-behaved when it evolved¡­ He returned to his seat and began to rest. The sky gradually darkened, and the hui xi sheep also successfully evolved. Looking at the hui xi sheep, the data appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Name: Hui Xi Sheep] [Level: Level 14] [Attributes: Metal] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Quiet, rest] [Weakness: Superpower] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] Looking at the data, Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction. A voice suddenly rang in her ear, ¡°Master, when will my Xiao Yu evolve as well?¡± The moment the voice rang out, Zhang Yi was shocked. He looked at Yu Qingqi resentfully. ¡°Let them finish evolving their familiars first,¡± Zhang Yi said. ¡°Why?¡± Yu Qingqi asked in confusion. ¡°There¡¯s no reason. You¡¯ll keep watch tonight.¡± After saying that, he went back to his tent. He completely ignored Yu Qingqi, who was going crazy outside the tent. In the end, he obediently kept watch. Yu Qingqi was so sleepy that he was about to lie down when a series of roars came from the cave entrance. The roar instantly dispelled his sleepiness. He focused 120% of his attention on the cave entrance, asking Xiao Yu to quickly wake everyone up. When everyone woke up, the roars outside the cave disappeared again. Qi Yu complained, ¡°where are the demon beasts? Could it be that you¡¯re too sleepy and are hallucinating?¡± Yu Qingqi was also puzzled. Could it really be that he was hallucinating? Zhang Yi looked at his confused face and said, ¡°you go to sleep first. I¡¯ll guard the cave in the second half of the night.¡± Yu Qingqi nodded and said, ¡°okay.¡± When everyone fell into a deep sleep, a demon beast came quietly from the entrance of the cave. Zhang Yi sat at the side, with Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly on his lap. Suddenly, he saw the demon beast that came in, and the data instantly appeared in his mind. [Name: Swift Scorpion] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Fire] [Grade: Excellent] [Weakness: Metal/water] [Personality: Cruel, ruthless] Seeing the demon beast, he shouted, ¡°get up! There¡¯s a demon beast coming!¡± As he shouted, the Swift Scorpion quickly came in front of Zhang Yi, preparing to attack him. It stretched out its tail, preparing to use it to attack Zhang Yi. A white light flashed, and a hole appeared on the Swift Scorpion¡¯s tail. The others who heard the noise woke up and brought their familiars to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. Then, they commanded their familiars to attack the Swift Scorpion. ¡°Get Hui Xi Sheep to attack it!¡± Zhang Yi shouted. When Yu Shiyin heard this, she immediately commanded hui xi sheep to attack the Swift Scorpion. The Dark Nether Stinger pierced the Swift Scorpion¡¯s pincers and body. Hui Xi Sheep saw the opportunity and immediately went forward to attack the Swift Scorpion. After twenty minutes of battle, they finally defeated the Swift Scorpion. ¡°Alright, there shouldn¡¯t be any more demon beasts coming. Go back to sleep,¡± Zhang Yi said to them. They all shook their heads. Only Yu Qingqi returned to the tent and continued to sleep soundly. ¡°How can we still sleep now?¡± Qi Yu said. Zhang Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense. After the battle just now, all the sleepiness had been dispelled. Only Yu Qingqi, who had just slept not long ago, could still sleep. The others were now in high spirits.. Chapter 25 The sky gradually brightened up. After they were all tidied up, they walked out of the cave. The few of them walked to the side of a river. When they saw the river, they took out their water bottles and began to fill them with water. Just as they were filling the water bottles, a strong wind swept up the water. ¡°What a strong wind!¡± Li Kun said. ¡°Quickly put away the water bottles,¡± Zhang Yi looked around and said vigilantly. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they quickly put the bottles away into their backpacks. They stood up and looked at their surroundings warily. At this moment, a gust of wind blew in the distance, getting stronger and stronger. Qi Yu pointed at the gust of wind and said, ¡°tornado!¡± Everyone followed his hand and saw that the gust of wind had formed a tornado. And it was heading towards them. Vaguely, Zhang Yi saw a bird flying above the tornado. When he carefully observed it, its data appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Wind Qu Kingfisher] [Level: Level 12] [Attributes: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Excited, happy] [Weakness: Lightning/superpower] [Hobby: Likes to use wings to drive the wind to attack humans and demon beasts] [Personality: Playful] Zhang Yi was stunned. This demon beast¡¯s personality was actually playful? ¡°Let¡¯s hide first.¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, they immediately turned around. However, how could their two legs withstand the tornado? The wind was sweeping towards them. Li Kun commanded the eagle to attack the kingfisher. Zhang Yi observed for a while and suddenly thought of a solution. He came to Li Kun¡¯s side and said to Li Kun, ¡°let Xiaoxiao sit on the back of the eagle and attack the wings of the kingfisher to make it fall.¡± After Zhang Yi said that, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. This was a good idea! Li Kun commanded the eagle to fly down. Then, Zhang Yi carried Xiaoxiao and placed it on the back of the eagle. Seeing this, Li Kun commanded the eagle to fly into the air, but it did not get too close to the kingfisher. The Dark Nether Stinger flew towards the kingfisher¡¯s wings. The eagle had been circling the kingfisher at a distance so that the Dark Nether Stinger attack could hit a wider area. Two minutes later, the kingfisher could not take it anymore and fell down. Seeing the kingfisher fall down, everyone looked happy and ordered their familiars to attack the kingfisher. Just when they thought the kingfisher was dead, the kingfisher suddenly opened its eyes. It flapped its wings at them, and a gust of wind blew at them. ¡°Back off!¡± Zhang Yi shouted when he saw this action. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s shout, everyone took a few steps back. Zhang Yi commanded Xiaoxiao to attack the kingfisher. After a few minutes, after confirming that the Kingfisher was finally dead, they walked forward. When they came to the kingfisher¡¯s side, Zhang Yi saw a transparent crystal on the ground. Feeling that it looked very strange, he picked it up. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Li Kun looked at the crystal in Zhang Yi¡¯s hand and asked. Everyone¡¯s gaze immediately focused on the crystal in Zhang Yi¡¯s hand. Zhang Yi held the crystal and looked at it, then said, ¡°this should be a wind-type crystal. Familiars can absorb the crystal to increase their strength.¡± As he said that, he put the crystal into Li Kun¡¯s hand. ¡°Your familiar can absorb it.¡± Li Kun held the crystal and said to Zhang Yi with a smile, ¡°this¡­ I don¡¯t have to pay, right?¡± He knew that Zhang Yi could use the money, but if he wanted money for this crystal, he did not know if he could afford it. He was very worried, but fortunately, he heard what he wanted to hear. ¡°If you want to give it to me, I¡¯ll accept it,¡± Zhang Yi said with a smile. When Li Kun heard this, his smile widened. ¡°Then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony!¡± He put the crystal into his pocket and planned to let his Qifeng Mountain Eagle absorb it at night. The few of them continued to walk forward. After collecting a large pile of materials, they returned to the cave. After returning to the cave, Li Kun could not wait to let Qifeng Mountain Eagle absorb the crystal. After Zhang Yi saw it, he said, ¡°tonight, Li Kun will guard the first half of the night, and Qi Yu will guard the second half of the night.¡± Hearing his words, the two of them nodded, indicating that they understood. Zhang Yi set up the pot, poured the water in the kettle, and then put in the ingredients according to the steps. Half an hour later, the pot of soup and medicine was finally finished. After seeing Zhang Yi finish, Yu Qingqi came to Zhang Yi¡¯s side with shining eyes. ¡°Is this pot for Xiao Yu?¡± He looked at Zhang Yi expectantly. Zhang Yi shook her head and said, ¡°no, it¡¯s for Xiaoxiao.¡± Yu Qingqi¡¯s eyes darkened instantly, feeling a little disappointed. Actually, he also wanted to let his subdued beast evolve into an excellent-grade. However, Zhang Yi had his own plans, so he had to wait a little longer. He carried the soup to Xiaoxiao and fed it all. Then, he put it aside and let it evolve slowly. He returned to his tent to rest. Unexpectedly, just as Zhang Yi was about to fall asleep, Xiaoxiao came into Zhang Yi¡¯s tent with a whoosh. He used its sharp thorns to gently rub against Zhang Yi¡¯s arm, causing Zhang Yi to gradually feel pain. Opening his eyes, he grabbed it and threw it to the side, muttering, ¡°don¡¯t mess with me, I¡¯m so sleepy.¡± Xiaoxiao protested, and a voice rang out in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. ¡°I¡¯ve successfully evolved!!¡± Zhang Yi turned over and said, ¡°if you¡¯ve succeeded, then lie down and sleep. We still have to kill the demon beast tomorrow.¡± After saying that, he ignored Xiaoxiao and began to sleep soundly. Xiaoxiao was originally looking forward to Zhang Yi¡¯s happy reaction, but who knew that it would turn out like this? It was so angry that it cried out. However, there was no response. It gradually lay down beside Zhang Yi.. Chapter 26 No demon beasts attacked them that night. It was a peaceful night for them. The next morning, Zhang Yi walked out of the tent, stretching. When he saw the eagle, the data in her mind changed. [Demon Beast name: Qifeng Mountain Eagle] [Level: Level 10.] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Excited, hungry] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: sleeping] [Evolution path: ¡­] Zhang Yi was shocked. He did not expect that just absorbing a wind-type crystal could actually cause the grade of the mountain eagle to evolve! This was simply a big surprise! Zhang Yi looked at Xiaoxiao at the side and realized that it had also evolved into an excellent-grade. Now, it would be easier to deal with the demon beasts in the Middle Forest District. It would not be as difficult as it was when they first arrived! After packing up, they set off again. ¡°Master, when can you help me evolve my subdued beast to excellent quality?¡± Yu Qingqi was a little envious of them. In just a few days after entering the middle forest area, three of their five subdued beasts had already evolved to excellent quality. However, he did not have the ability to let his own familiars evolve. He could only watch as the other familiars successfully evolved. ¡°If we find the materials, you¡¯ll evolve,¡± Zhang Yi said. It was not that he did not want to help Yu Qingqi¡¯s familiar evolve, but he had not found the materials his familiar needed. That was why he had not helped the Snow Jade Sable evolve. Zhang Yi also hoped that all of their familiars were excellent-grade. After all, there were not only excellent-grade demon beasts in the Middle Forest District, there were also perfect-grade demon beasts that they had not encountered yet. This could be considered lucky. If they were unlucky enough to encounter them, there would probably be casualties. ¡°What materials are we lacking?¡± Yu Qingqi asked. ¡°We¡¯re still lacking Cold Grass, Walking Yu Grass, and Changing Grass,¡± Zhang Yi replied. Hearing this, Yu Qingqi nodded, carefully observing if there were any materials that he needed. ¡°The higher the grade of our subdued beasts, the better. There are even perfect-grade demon beasts in the forest area!¡± Zhang Yi told them solemnly. The others nodded as well. Zhang Yi told everyone what materials their subdued beasts needed to evolve. Everyone was on alert as they searched for the materials they needed. At that moment, the surrounding environment changed, and the temperature kept rising. ¡°Why is it suddenly so hot?¡± Li Kun fanned himself with his hand and asked in puzzlement. ¡°Yeah, the temperature just now wasn¡¯t that high.¡± Qi Yu was also puzzled. ¡°Be careful, it should be the demon beasts.¡± Zhang Yi looked around vigilantly, but did not find anything unusual. After everyone heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they immediately became vigilant and followed Zhang Yi to patrol the surroundings. Zhang Yi looked up at the tree and saw a monkey smiling at them. Its data immediately appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Blazing Leaf Monkey] [Level: Level 12] [Attributes: Fire] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: happy, excited] [Weakness: Water/ice] [Hobby: Likes to raise the temperature in the surroundings so that humans or demon beasts die from the heat] Zhang Yi looked at its stats and thought to himself, ¡®this is not good¡¯. The ice-type Snow Jade Sable is still at high-grade. Zhang Yi was not sure if it could deal with the monkey. ¡°It¡¯s on a tree. It¡¯s a Blazing Leaf Monkey, a fire-type demon beast. Its weakness is the ice-type,¡± Zhang Yi said, and everyone looked over when they heard his words. ¡°Let Xiao Yu do it.¡± Yu Qingqi said, then commanded the Snow Jade sable to attack the monkey. However, he was stopped by Zhang Yi. ¡°Let the excellent-grade beasts attack it first.¡± As he said that, he gave Li Kun and Yu Shiyin a look. They immediately understood and commanded their subdued beasts to attack the monkey. Zhang Yi also commanded Xiaoxiao to start attacking the monkey. The Dark Nether Stinger instantly flew towards the leaf monkey. However, the leaf monkey began to use a few vines to sway, dodging the attacks of the subdued beasts. The eagle flew towards the leaf monkey, using its wings to attack the monkey, trying to make it fall to the ground. The eagle suddenly flew towards the ground, flying towards the monkey once again, with Xiaoxiao on its back. The Dark Nether Stinger flew towards the monkey¡¯s hand. After a couple of successful hits, a few holes appeared on the monkey¡¯s hand, and it finally fell from the tree to the ground. Hui Xi Sheep took the opportunity to rush over, severely injuring the Blazing Leaf Monkey. Zhang Yi immediately gave Yu Qingqi a look. Yu Qingqi immediately commanded the Snow Jade Sable to attack the monkey. In less than half an hour, they had killed the monkey. Zhang Yi and the others went up to check and found that there were no crystals on the ground. Qi Yu sighed in disappointment. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that this Blazing Leaf Monkey did not drop any fire-type crystals.¡± Zhang Yi heard his words and patted his shoulder, comforting him, ¡°don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you.¡± When Qi Yu heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and replied, ¡°then it looks like I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Zhang Yi waved his hand, indicating that there was no trouble. When the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Yi and the others began to head back to the cave. After they returned to the cave, Zhang Yi wanted to take a pot of boiling water and start developing a decoction to get the subdued beasts to evolve. This time, he used two pots. One was to develop a fire-type decoction, and the other was to develop a spirit-type decoction. He placed the pot properly and began to prepare the ingredients. He placed them into the pot one at a time. After boiling for twenty minutes, Zhang Yi handed the fire-type soup to Qi Yu. ¡°This is the soup that can help the hound level up. We haven¡¯t found all the materials for evolving its grade. Let¡¯s level up first.¡± Zhang Yi said. Qi Yu nodded when he heard Zhang Yi¡¯s explanation. Then, he fed the soup to the hound. The hound looked at the black soup in the bowl and sniffed it. It did not smell anything strange. It drank all the soup in one gulp. Soon, the hound changed greatly. Its sharp claws became longer and its teeth were very sharp.. Chapter 27 Looking at it, the data in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind changed. [Demon beast name: Emergency Hound] [Level: Level 11] [Attributes: Fire] [Grade: High] [Status: Excited, hungry] [Weakness: Metal/lightning] [Excellent evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] Looking at the upgraded hound, Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction and returned to his tent. He fed Xiaoxiao another bowl of soup so that it will level up. At this moment, a sound came from outside the cave. The sound was getting closer and closer, all the way to the entrance of the cave. A demon beast walked directly into the cave. When Zhang Yi and the others heard the roar of the demon beast, they immediately got ready to engage it. They waited for the moment when the demon beast walked in. They immediately launched an attack, catching the demon beast off guard. After seeing the demon beast, the data immediately appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Snow Chestnut Fox] [Level: Level 9] [Attributes: Ice] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Scared] [Weakness: Fire/spirit] This Snow Chestnut Fox¡¯s status was actually ¡®scared¡¯? What had happened to make it afraid? Or was there a demon beast outside that made it afraid? Seeing that they were commanding their subdued beasts to attack the Snow Chestnut Fox, Zhang Yi did not say anything. Unfortunately, Xiaoxiao was still evolving and could not help much, so he could only stand aside and give them advice. Seeing that the Snow Chestnut Fox had been dodging the attacks of the subdued beasts, Zhang Yi could not help but frown. He observed the demon beast and realized that the Snow Chestnut Fox did not want to fight them. Its belly was round and bulging as if it was pregnant. ¡°Stop for a moment. It doesn¡¯t seem like it¡¯s here to attack us,¡± Zhang Yi said. Hearing this, the others stopped their subdued beasts and surrounded the Snow Chestnut Fox. If anything went wrong, they would immediately attack. Li Kun asked in puzzlement, ¡°what¡¯s wrong with it?¡± ¡°Yeah, why does this demon beast keep dodging the attacks of our familiars?¡± Qi Yu also asked. Yu Qingqi and Yu Shiyin also looked at Zhang Yi in puzzlement. ¡°Look at its belly. It seems to be pregnant.¡± After Zhang Yi said that, everyone looked over. It was really as Zhang Yi had said. The Snow Chestnut Fox was pregnant. ¡°Then what do we do now?¡± Yu Shiyin asked. Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, ¡°let it in first.¡± His words made everyone hesitate. Yu Qingqi said, ¡°are you sure? What if it suddenly attacks?¡± The others agreed with Qingqi¡¯s words. ¡°I know what you are worried about, but this Snow Chestnut Fox is currently in a state of fear.¡± ¡°What is it afraid of?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a high chance that a demon beast is afraid of something that appeared outside.¡± Zhang Yi¡¯s words made them suddenly realize that what he said made sense. ¡°Moreover, the sound just now doesn¡¯t sound like it¡¯s coming from the Snow Chestnut Fox.¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, another roar came from the entrance of the cave. He immediately shouted, ¡°let the Snow Chestnut Fox in first!¡± When the Snow Chestnut Fox came in, the roar outside the cave became clearer and clearer. Soon, a demon beast appeared in their sight. Its data also appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Mad Silk Spider] [Level: Level 12] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Crazy] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: Weaving a web to bind humans or demon beasts, suffocating them to death] Zhang Yi watched as the spider spat out a white web at them. Qi Yu immediately commanded the Emergency Hound to use its sharp claws to break the web. The Blazing Mountain Eagle flew towards the Mad Silk Spider and flapped its wings non-stop. It formed numerous wind blades that directly blew towards the legs of the mad silk spider. However, these only scratched the legs of the Mad Silk Spider and did not chop off its legs. Hui Xi Sheep was also attacking the Mad Silk Spider. Its level was higher than the Mad Silk Spider, so it was effective in dealing damage to it. The Mad Silk Spider kept dodging Hui Xi Sheep¡¯s attacks, and soon, it dodged to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. The Mad Silk Spider looked at Zhang Yi and spat out a web at him. Zhang Yi quickly jumped to the side and successfully dodged the web attack. The Mad Silk Spider instantly flew into a rage, attacking Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi did not have time to dodge. He heard the others exclaim, ¡°be careful!¡± Just as Zhang Yi was about to be attacked by the spider, a snow-white light flashed past, blocking the spider¡¯s attack path. Qi Yu and the others directed their subdued beasts to attack the Mad Silk Spider. When it fell to the ground, Zhang Yi saw the figure that blocked the attack for him. He had never expected that the Snow Chestnut Fox would help him block the attack. The others were all shocked when they saw this. Not long ago, they had asked their subdued beasts to attack it. Now, it actually helped Zhang Yi block the attack! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Snow Chestnut Fox to be so brave,¡± Li Kun said. Zhang Yi noticed a snow-white crystal beside the Snow Chestnut Fox¡¯s head. He reached out and picked it up. He placed the crystal into Yu Qingqi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°get the Snow Jade Sable absorb this crystal tonight.¡± Yu Qingqi hesitated for a moment, though he really wanted his subdued beast to raise its grade, however, the Snow Chestnut Fox still took the hit for Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi saw Yu Qingqi¡¯s hesitation. He said, ¡°we¡¯ll help it take care of its child.¡± The moment he said this, everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Child?! ¡°Child¡­ child?¡± Yu Qingqi said in surprise. Their eyes instantly shifted to the Snow Chestnut Fox¡¯s stomach, and they found that its stomach had already flattened. Zhang Yi pointed at the white ball of fur beside Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°that¡¯s its child..¡± Chapter 28 They followed Zhang Yi¡¯s finger and looked over. There was a ball of fur that looked like a Snow Chestnut Fox sitting beside Xiaoxiao. They walked over and sized up the fox. Seeing that it was still sleeping, they did not have the heart to wake it up. The fox¡¯s data appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Icy Fox] [Level: Level 3] [Attribute: Ice] [Grade: High] [Status: Sleeping.] [Weakness: Fire/lightning] Zhang Yi looked at its data and was slightly surprised. Being born with high quality, this should be one of a kind! They sat at the side, discussing who should be responsible for raising this snow fox. The cave was silent. No one spoke. A few minutes later, Yu Shiyin said slowly, ¡°why don¡¯t Zhang Yi raise it?¡± Qi Yu quickly agreed. ¡°That¡¯s right! Brother Yi saved the snow fox. Although it¡¯s dead now, it¡¯s better for you to raise its child.¡± Li Kun nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. We don¡¯t know its attributes or quality. We¡¯re not like you, brother Yi.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Zhang Yi said that it was possible for him to raise the snow fox. It was just that the materials needed to evolve it was a little difficult to find. However, as long as there were ice-type crystals, it was still possible for the icy fox to evolve. After they had discussed it, they returned to their respective positions to rest. Zhang Yi looked at the Icy Fox who was still in a deep sleep. He cut his finger and touched its head. She asked, ¡°Are you willing to be my subdued beast?¡± Zhang Yi and the snow fox¡¯s consciousness instantly connected. The snow fox looked at Zhang Yi and called out twice. Zhang Yi heard the snow fox¡¯s answer in his mind, ¡°yes.¡± Zhang Yi smiled and stroked the snow fox¡¯s fur. To the snow fox, Zhang Yi was its benefactor. So when Zhang Yi signed the soul contract with it, it agreed without a second thought. At night, it was Zhang Yi¡¯s turn to keep watch. He sat on the stool beside the feet of the snow fox. It had already woken up. While Xiaoxiao was still leveling up, Zhang Yi stroked the snow fox¡¯s fur and said to it, ¡°I¡¯ll call you Snowy from now on.¡± The snow fox called out softly twice, and Zhang Yi could hear its voice in his mind. ¡°Okay!¡± The next morning, Zhang Yi went to check on Xiaoxiao¡¯s condition as soon as he woke up and found that he had successfully leveled up! The data in his mind changed. [Demon beast name: Shadow Hedgehog] [Level: Level 8] [Attribute: Wind/spirit] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Pleasant, hungry] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobby: Likes to be rubbed on the stomach] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] Zhang Yi smiled in satisfaction. He rubbed its tiny stomach and quietly waited for everyone to wake up and tidy up before they walked out of the cave. Yu Shiyin was scrolling through her messages on her phone when she suddenly said in surprise, ¡°many beastmasters have triggered the alarm.¡± Hearing Yu Shiyin¡¯s information, they all started discussing. ¡°That¡¯s normal. These are all excellent and perfect-grade demon beasts. They definitely can¡¯t handle them,¡± Qi Yu said calmly. ¡°That¡¯s right, unlike us who have a master around! We can help our subdued beasts evolve!¡± Yu Qingqi said proudly. Yu Shiyin nodded and said, ¡°indeed. We still have to thank Zhang Yi.¡± Zhang Yi smiled modestly and said, ¡°no need. We¡¯re all friends.¡± The few of them chatted for a while, then began to seriously collect the materials. After collecting the materials, they returned to the cave. Zhang Yi would use the materials to create a medicinal soup for the subdued beasts to evolve. While they were collecting the materials, a demon beast suddenly jumped out in front of them and attacked them. [Demon beast name: Giant Xing Centipede] [Level: Level 13] [Attribute: Earth] [Grade: Perfect] [Status: Angry] [Weakness: Lightning] Zhang Yi was shocked. This was a perfect-grade demon beast. It would probably be a little difficult to deal with! ¡°Giant Xing Centipede, perfect-grade, be careful!¡± Zhang Yi told them about the demon beast. When they heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they immediately frowned. This is bad! ¡°Qi Yu, get your subdued beast to assist at the side. The other subdued beasts will attack in turn,¡± Zhang Yi said calmly. After the others heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they began to command their subdued beasts to attack the Giant Xing Centipede. The Dark Nether Stinger pierced the end of the centipede, and it instantly flew into a rage. Its attacks became more and more vicious. The snow jade sable froze all the poison it attacked, then froze the end of the centipede. Hui xi sheep followed closely behind. As soon as they hit the Giant Xing Centipede, they would immediately retreat to the side. They attacked all around the xing centipede, and it did not fall even after a long time. ¡°This is the strength of a perfect-grade demon beast?¡± Qi Yu said in surprise. Their subdued beasts had been attacking it for almost half an hour. This Giant Xing Centipede had not been defeated. It did not even feel any pain. Zhang Yi was silent. He was also surprised by the Giant Xing Centipede¡¯s combat strength. After such a long time, other than some wounds on its body, nothing had changed. Was there any way to deal with this Giant Xing Centipede? He looked at Snowy, who was beside his feet, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, ¡°let the Snow Jade Sable and Snowy freeze it together. Then, get Hui Xi Sheep to attack it.¡± Hearing this plan, Yu Qingqi and Yu Shiyin immediately commanded their familiars to deal with the giant xing centipede. Snowy and the Snow Jade Sable froze it together. The Hui Xi Sheep, the eagle, the hound, and Xiaoxiao attacked it together. In less than ten minutes, the Giant Xing Centipede fell to the ground. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and rested on the spot for ten minutes before continuing forward.. Chapter 29 After walking for a few minutes, they encountered another demon beast. [Name: Sharp Thorn] [Level: 12] [Attributes: Plant] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Hungry] [ Weakness: Lightning] [Hobbies: Pierce the skin of the prey with sharp thorns, suck the blood of the prey, and entangle the prey] After telling them all this information, they began to attack the Sharp Thorn. Soon, they destroyed the Sharp Thorn. ¡°Look! Is that a wood-type crystal?¡± Li Kun pointed at a spot on the ground and said in surprise. Everyone was attracted by his voice and looked in the direction he was pointing. They did see a green crystal on the ground. Zhang Yi walked over and picked it up. He flipped through it and said, ¡°it¡¯s indeed a wood-type crystal. We don¡¯t have any wood-type subdued beasts. Let¡¯s put it away first.¡± As he said this, he was about to put the crystal into his backpack. When the others heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they nodded in agreement. It was true that none of them had any wood-type subdued beasts, so this crystal was of no use to them. Just as Zhang Yi opened his backpack, the crystal in his hand was suddenly snatched. He looked up and found that this demon beast was somewhat familiar. Data appeared in his mind. [Beast name: Wind Hall Red Bird] [Level: Level 14] [ attribute: Wind/spirit] [Grade: High] [Status: Excited, happy] [Weakness: Lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: There are a total of five evolution paths¡­] After looking at the data, Zhang Yi finally remembered why he felt that it was so familiar. It was Qi Heyan¡¯s subdued beast. In that case, Qi Heyan was nearby. Just as he was thinking this, Zhang Yi heard a very annoying voice. ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m really sorry. This crystal is useful to me. Why don¡¯t you give it to me?¡± Zhang Yi looked towards the source of the voice and saw Qi Heyan leading six people behind him. Qi Yu and the others naturally saw Qi Heyan as well. The corners of their mouths twtiched. They whispered, ¡°the peacock is here to spread its feathers.¡± Hearing his words, Zhang Yi and the others laughed out loud. Qi Heyan saw them laughing and immediately said angrily, ¡°what are you laughing at?!¡± No one paid attention to Qi Heyan. Li Kun commanded the eagle to snatch the wood-type crystal back. ¡°Red Bird, give me the crystal,¡± Qi Heyan said. When the wind hall red bird heard Qi Heyan¡¯s words, it immediately flew in his direction. Suddenly, a few holes appeared on the Wind Hall Red Bird¡¯s wings, and it fell to the ground. Seeing this, Xiaoxiao turned into a shadow and came to the bird¡¯s side. It snatched the wood-type crystal and turned into a shadow, returning to Zhang Yi¡¯s side. Zhang Yi picked up the crystal and praised, ¡°well done! I¡¯ll give you more food when we get back.¡± Xiaoxiao cried out happily, and its voice rang in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. ¡°Oh yeah!¡± Zhang Yi held the crystal in his hand and looked at Qi Heyan with a smile. His face was livid as he glared at them angrily. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Zhang Yi, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?!¡± Hearing his words, Yu Qingqi immediately burst into laughter. One-on-one? Was he not courting death? Qi Yu and the others were completely confused. They looked at Yu Qingqi in confusion, not understanding what he was laughing about. Just as Qi Heyan was about to ask Yu Qingqi what he was laughing about, Zhang Yi replied, ¡°sure!¡± Yu Qingqi whispered to Qi Yu and the others, ¡°Master¡¯s subdued beast has already reached excellent-grade, but Qi Heyan¡¯s subdued beast is still only at high-grade. He¡¯s just asking for trouble! hahahaha!¡± Hearing Yu Qingqi¡¯s explanation, they could not help but laugh. Qi Heyan shouted loudly, ¡°Red Bird, go!¡± The Wind Hall Red Bird heard the command and flapped its wings to fly towards Xiaoxiao. Who knew that after a few flaps, its wings would feel a sharp pain. The Dark Nether Stinger pierced the red bird one after another, making it unable to fly anymore. Qi Heyan looked at the bird on the ground and said angrily, ¡°useless thing! Let¡¯s go!¡± After saying that, he left with the people behind him, completely ignoring the Wind Hall Red Bird lying on the ground. The bird looked at Qi Heyan¡¯s back in disappointment and closed its eyes in despair. It felt a cool sensation coming from its wings. When it opened its eyes, it saw that Zhang Yi was applying some medicine on its wings. ¡°After you¡¯ve recovered, break the contract with him and live freely.¡± After saying that, he stopped what he was doing, stood up, and left with Qi Yu and the others. When the Wind Hall Red Bird heard his words, it immediately cut off the contract with Qi Heyan in its heart. It spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground. Qi Heyan, who had already left, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as he walked, and then fell to the ground. ¡°Young Master Qi!¡± When the people beside him saw this, they hurriedly helped him up and quickly found a safe place. As it turned out, as long as one of the parties cut off the contract, both parties that signed the contract would be hurt. Humans only knew that after the contract with their familiars failed, there would be no harm. However, they did not know that after breaking the contract with their familiars, they would suffer such serious injuries. This kind of thing had never happened before, and no one knew about it. The sky gradually darkened, and just as they returned to the cave while chatting and laughing. They heard a sound coming from the cave. They were filled with vigilance as they strode in. When they saw that it was Qi Heyan and the others, Qi Heyan was lying on the ground with a pale face. ¡°This is our territory. Take your things and get out now!¡± Yu Qingqi said sternly. When they heard this, they did not move at all. ¡°If you don¡¯t go out now, don¡¯t blame us for being rude!¡± Seeing that they had ignored Yu Qingqi¡¯s words, Zhang Yi¡¯s face immediately turned cold. When Zhang Yi finished speaking, they still did not move at all. Zhang Yi gave Xiaoxiao a look, and Xiaoxiao immediately understood.. Chapter 30 The Dark Nether Stingers flew towards them and pierced through the corner of their clothes, ruthlessly stabbing into the ground. The sudden action gave them a fright. They were so panicked that they immediately took their familiars and ran out, completely forgetting that Qi Heyan was still lying on the ground. Looking at Qi Heyan on the ground, Li Kun frowned and asked, ¡°what should we do with this guy?¡± Yu Qingqi walked to Qi Heyan¡¯s side and kicked him. ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s move him out.¡± After saying that, he asked Qi Yu to give him a hand and the two of them moved Qi Heyan far away. A few minutes later, they walked back while swearing. ¡°This kid is so heavy. I¡¯m so tired!¡± Yu Qingqi panted and said. Qi Yu panted and nodded in agreement. Zhang Yi carried the soup to Qi Yu. Qi Yu looked at the bowl of soup and said happily, ¡°great, it¡¯s finally my turn!¡± Without needing Zhang Yi to say anything, Qi Yu took the soup and forcefully fed it into the Emergency Hound¡¯s mouth. Not long after feeding it, the hound¡¯s sharp claws grew by two centimeters, and its teeth became even sharper. The hound¡¯s data appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Emergency Hound] [Level: Level 11] [Attributes: Fire] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Happy, hungry] [Weakness: Metal/lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] Looking at the hound that had successfully evolved, Qi Yu excitedly gave Zhang Yi a hug. ¡°Thank you so much!¡± Hearing Qi Yu¡¯s excited tone, Zhang Yi struggled a few times before finally breaking free from his hug. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± After saying that, he immediately left the place, afraid that Qi Yu would hug him again. For the past two days, Zhang Yi and the others had been killing demon beasts in the forest every day. The combat power of their subdued beasts had greatly increased. Today was the deadline for a week of training. Following the lead of the mountain eagle, they finally arrived at the meeting point. Hong Yu saw that the first batch of students was from Class 1. He nodded his head in relief and walked up to them. ¡°Well done!¡± Hong Yu said happily. When Zhang Yi and the others heard this, smiles appeared on their faces. ¡°Go and rest first.¡± Hong Yu waved his hand and a staff member immediately walked towards him. He brought Zhang Yi and the others to the tent that belonged to them. At night, Zhang Yi walked out and planned to have some dinner in the canteen. The moment he came out, he bumped into Yu Shiyin, who had just walked out as well. Zhang Yi walked over to her side. ¡°Shall we have dinner together?¡± Zhang Yi said. When Yu Shiyin heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, her face turned slightly hot and she nodded her head. The two of them went to the temporary canteen and found a seat after taking their meals. Not long after they sat down, they heard a voice behind them. ¡°Yo, why didn¡¯t you invite us to eat? How unkind,¡± Li Kun said. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Qi Yu agreed. ¡°You guys didn¡¯t call Yu Qingqi either?¡± Zhang Yi turned around and looked at them. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, the two of them were instantly speechless. They silently put the bowls on the table and started eating. After they finished eating, they took the bowls to the dishwashing area to wash the dishes. A few minutes later, Zhang Yi returned to the tent and was about to lie down to rest. The top of the tent was lifted up, and a demon beast¡¯s leg grabbed the tent and threw it open. The data of the demon beast appeared in Zhang Yi¡¯s mind. [Demon beast name: Probing Hummingbird] [Level: Level 14] [Attributes: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Excited, crazy] [Weakness: Lightning] Zhang Yi was so shocked that he sat up and immediately commanded Xiaoxiao to attack the demon beast. However, as he was flying in the air, Xiaoxiao¡¯s Dark Nether Stinger could not hit it. Just as Zhang Yi was giving the command, everyone who heard the noise came out to watch the show. Li Kun walked to Zhang Yi¡¯s side and commanded the mountain eagle fly into the air with Xiaoxiao. After a few minutes of battle, the Probing Hummingbird fell to the ground. Zhang Yi reached out his hand and fist-bumped with Li Kun. This was the tacit understanding that they had trained for so many days. Hong Yu, who rushed out in a hurry, missed this wonderful scene. After that, he found Zhang Yi and asked him about the situation. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Hong Yu looked at the tattered tent and asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. It just appeared out of nowhere,¡± Zhang Yi shrugged and said. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to investigate thoroughly,¡± Hong Yu said with a frown. There were already so many members of the hunting squad guarding this place. How could there still be demon beasts barging in? If they were guarding properly, then they must have deliberately let the demon beasts in! Regardless of the outcome, they would lose the right to continue staying in the hunting squad. After arranging a new tent for Zhang Yi, they left. ¡°This matter must be thoroughly investigated!¡± Hong Yu said to the captain of the Qilie hunting team in front of him. ¡°Alright, I will begin the investigation immediately.¡± After the captain finished speaking, he walked out of Hong Yu¡¯s tent. An hour later, he brought a muscular man into Hong Yu¡¯s tent. He threw him forward and the man fell to the ground. ¡°We¡¯ve already found out that he was the one who let the demon beasts in,¡± the captain said, pointing at the man on the ground. Hong Yu¡¯s eyes instantly looked at him, and his gaze was extremely cold. The man who was being looked at trembled and kept shaking his head as he said, ¡°it¡¯s not me! It¡¯s not me!¡± Hearing his words, the captain sneered and raised his leg to kick him. He said coldly, ¡°it¡¯s not you? Do you think the surveillance camera is just for show?¡± ¡°You can do whatever you want with this person, but you have to give an explanation to my student,¡± Hong Yu said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. From now on, he will be completely banned by the Hunter Squad. No hunter team will dare to take him in again,¡± the Qilie Team captain said. Hong Yu nodded in satisfaction. After the captain saw that Hong Yu was satisfied, he brought the people on the ground out of the tent.. Chapter 31 After staying here for the whole night, Zhang Yi walked in the camp. Being patted on the back, Zhang Yi was shocked. He turned around and wanted to beat up the person who had scared him. However, he found that it was someone he knew. ¡°Scared silly?¡± Jin Qiwei looked at Zhang Yi¡¯s dazed expression and said. ¡°No,¡± Zhang Yi came back to his senses and said calmly. ¡°Why are you still here? Today is the day of the award ceremony after the experiential learning,¡± Jin Qiwei said. ¡°Award ceremony?!¡± Zhang Yi said in surprise. He had no idea that there was such a thing. Why did nobody inform him?! ¡°It¡¯s not too late to go now. Let¡¯s go.¡± As Jin Qiwei said this, she held Zhang Yi¡¯s hand and walked to the award ceremony venue. A few minutes later, the two of them arrived at the venue, but Hong Yu had yet to arrive. Yu Shiyin saw the girl who had entered the venue with Zhang Yi, and her gaze landed on the two of them holding hands. She snorted coldly. After bidding farewell to Jin Qiwei, Zhang Yi came to Yu Qingqi and the others. After finding a seat, he quietly waited for the award ceremony to begin. He did not know why there was an award ceremony. Could they not just go home? Zhang Ru was still waiting for him at home. He did not know how she was doing this week. After sighing in melancholy, he heard Hong Yu¡¯s voice. ¡°Today is the day of the award ceremony. What award is it? I believe all of you are looking forward to it.¡± Everyone gasped. Hong Yu continued, ¡°first of all, the safety award for all members.¡± ¡°It means that all members who set off and come back are safe and sound.¡± ¡°The reward is 10,000 alliance dollars per person!¡± The eyes of the people who were sleepy from listening to Hong Yu¡¯s words suddenly lit up. Zhang Yi¡¯s expression, which was originally unconcerned, instantly lit up. If he had said that the reward was money, he would not have been so impatient. ¡°A total of three teams have won this award.¡± As Hong Yu spoke, he read out the names of these three teams. After he finished speaking, he let these award winners go on stage to receive their awards. Zhang Yi happily walked onto the stage. He took the card that Hong Yu gave him and looked at the balance. There were really 10,000 alliance dollars in it. The smile on Zhang Yi¡¯s face grew bigger and bigger. Not long after they went down, Hong Yu said, ¡°the next award is the first one to return to the camp.¡± When Zhang Yi heard this, his heart was filled with joy. ¡°Master, wipe that smile off your face,¡± Yu Qingqi said. He looked at Zhang Yi¡¯s smile that was about to reach his temples. When Zhang Yi heard this, he slightly calmed herself down and walked up to the stage again. ¡°The next award is¡­¡± ¡°The next award is¡­¡± Every time Hong Yu said this, Zhang Yi¡¯s heart became happier. Because he was qualified for every award. An hour later, the award ceremony finally ended. Zhang Yi could not wait to go home with 40,000 alliance dollars. He went to the materials department store and bought some materials needed for Snowy¡¯s evolution, as well as some meat. He spent a total of 18,000 alliance dollars, then bought some food and headed home. When he opened the door, he found that the house was empty, just like before he left. Zhang Yi came to the next room and knocked on the door. Soon, Xiaowei opened the door and stuck her head out. Seeing that it was Zhang Yi in front of the door, she turned her head and shouted inside, ¡°Zhang Ru, your brother is back!¡± When Zhang Ru heard that, she quickly went to the door and pushed Xiaowei away. She hugged Zhang Yi¡¯s arm and said, ¡°brother, I miss you so much!¡± ¡°I listened to you obediently. I didn¡¯t cause trouble at home. I was only causing trouble at Xiaowei¡¯s house.¡± Zhang Yi was very happy when he heard Zhang Ru¡¯s first sentence, but when he heard the latter sentence, he covered Zhang Ru¡¯s mouth. He looked at Xiaowei with a grin and said, ¡°she¡¯s just spouting nonsense. Don¡¯t mind her.¡± As he said that, he quickly brought Zhang Ru home and closed the door with a bang. ¡°Zhang Yi! I couldn¡¯t persuade Zhang Ru to go home!¡± ¡°So you¡¯re the one who asked her to stay at my house!¡± Xiaowei¡¯s roar came from outside the door. Zhang Yi shook his body and released Zhang Ru. He took out the things he bought. ¡°This is for you. Tidy up the house.¡± Zhang Ru¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw these things. She happily took them and her tone was filled with joy. ¡°Okay!¡± Just as Zhang Yi was about to enter the kitchen, Zhang Ru suddenly saw a ball of white stuff. She walked over, picked up Snowy, and asked, ¡°brother, where did you get this?¡± Zhang Yi replied, ¡°I brought it back during my experiential learning.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s reply, Zhang Ru hugged Snowy and touched it a few times. She found that its fur felt very comfortable. Zhang Yi smiled at her actions and brought the vegetables back to the kitchen. First, he put the ingredients into the pot to boil. Then, he put Snowy in at the right time. When Zhang Yi walked out of the kitchen after cooking, he saw that the house is now neat and tidy. ¡°It¡¯s time to eat,¡± he said to Zhang Ru, who was watching TV. ¡°Coming!¡± Zhang Ru answered and put on her shoes and came to the dining table. After eating, Zhang Yi and Zhang Ru sat on the sofa and they watched the soap opera that Zhang Ru liked. ¡°Brother, where did you get so much money?¡± Zhang Ru suddenly asked as she watched. ¡°It¡¯s a reward after participating in the experiential learning,¡± Zhang Yi answered. ¡°Oh.¡± After Zhang Ru answered, she obediently watched TV and ate the snacks that Zhang Yi bought. Zhang Yi looked at the side of Zhang Ru¡¯s face and smiled. He hoped that his sister would always be happy. This was the life he wanted to lead. The two of them did not return to their room to rest until midnight. It was already noon the next day when Zhang Yi woke up. As he had just returned from the experiential learning, the school had specially given him a three-days break. This was a benefit only beastmasters had, while those high school students could only continue to study bitterly.. Chapter 32 After making Zhang Ru a meal, Zhang Yi sent messages to Yu Shiyin, Yu Qingqi, Qi Yu, and Li Kun. After Zhang Yi had lunch, Zhang Yi arrived at their meeting point. ¡°How¡¯s the shop looking?¡± after Zhang Yi arrived, he asked immediately. ¡°I bought it! It¡¯s diagonally across from Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic,¡± Yu Qingqi said. ¡°Well done!¡± Zhang Yi gave him a look of praise. Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic was the largest cultivation clinic in the entire Yiqi city, and there was a lot of traffic every day. The most important thing was that this clinic belonged to the Qi family, which also belonged to Qi Heyan¡¯s family. Zhang Yi opened the clinic across from their home. Firstly, he wanted to steal their customers. Secondly, he wanted to shut down Shengyuan Qi Clinic! With this thought in mind, they went into the shop. After walking around for a while, Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction. He said, ¡°Qi Yu is in charge of the renovation, and Yu Qingqi is in charge of purchasing equipment and equipment.¡± ¡°Li Kun and Yu Shiyin are in charge of the medicinal herbs.¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they all nodded to show that they understood. ¡°What should we call this shop?¡± Li Kun asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t we call it ¡®Zhang Yi¡¯s Clinic¡¯?¡± Qi Yu suggested. ¡°Tch, why don¡¯t we call it the ¡®All-round Cultivation Clinic¡¯?¡± Yu Qingqi glanced at Qi Yu with disdain. ¡°No! We should call it the ¡®Clinic That Will Make You Satisfied¡¯.¡± Li Kun also suggested his own opinion. Yu Shiyin rolled her eyes at them one after another and said, ¡°you guys are all too rustic!¡± When Zhang Yi heard these names, the corners of his mouth twitched. What the hell kind of names did they come up with. It was not as good as Zhang Ru¡¯s suggestion. He said, ¡°this shop shall be called ¡®Pioneer Cultivation Center¡¯.¡± They were stunned for a moment when they heard Zhang Yi¡¯s name. They widened their eyes and agreed. ¡°Hey, this name is not bad!¡± ¡°Of course, the name my master came up with is certainly good!¡± Seeing that they all agreed with his name, Zhang Yi said, ¡°then it¡¯s decided!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± They all agreed. A few minutes later, Zhang Yi gave Yu Qingqi the list of equipment that he needed to purchase. After receiving the list, he saluted to Zhang Yi and said, ¡°I promise to complete the mission!¡± After saying that, he walked out. The next day, Zhang Yi came here again. The place had changed completely. Zhang Yi nodded his head in satisfaction. When this cultivation center was developed, they could form their own hunter team in the future! When everyone had arrived, they stood at the entrance and carried out the ribbon-cutting ceremony. However, these people left after watching the ribbon-cutting ceremony. ¡°Hey! Come in and take a look!¡± Yu Qingqi shouted at the leaving crowd. The crowd heard his words and walked even faster. Zhang Yi curled his lips and said, ¡°stop shouting for now. If you keep shouting, they won¡¯t come in.¡± ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Qi Yu scratched his head and asked. Everyone fell silent. For a moment, they could not think of any good ideas. At this moment, Zhang Yi heard the sound of vegetables being sold next to her. ¡°It¡¯s time to buy vegetables! Fresh vegetables, radishes, everything you want is here!¡± The vegetable vendor shouted loudly, attracting a few people. ¡°How much is this vegetable?¡± ¡°This vegetable costs 1.5 yuan per catty.¡± ¡°Alright, give me 2 catty then.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Yu Shiyin saw Zhang Yi staring at the vegetable vendor. She came to his side and said, ¡°you want to buy vegetables?¡± Hearing her voice, Zhang Yi came back to his senses and had a brilliant plan in his mind. He said to them, ¡°I have an idea!¡± His words aroused their curiosity and they asked, ¡°what idea?¡± Zhang Yi pointed at the vegetable stall owner and they followed her hand to look. They saw that the vegetable stall owner was shouting with all his might. Yu Qingqi whispered, ¡°you want us to shout like this man?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not good, is it? How embarrassing.¡± Li Kun had an indescribable expression on his face. The image on the streets was so bad! Zhang Yi said, ¡°if your voices are loud enough, you can shout too.¡± Yu Qingqi immediately shook his head. ¡°Forget it.¡± Seeing that they all failed to guess his idea, Zhang Yi said, ¡°we can get this man to help us shout.¡± ¡°As long as we give him the slogan and some money, it will be fine.¡± Zhang Yi¡¯s words made them realize what was going on, and they agreed with his idea. ¡°This is a good idea!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Seeing that they all agreed with his idea, Zhang Yi walked to the vegetable seller¡¯s side. He took out a hundred alliance dollars and said to the uncle, ¡°uncle, do me a favor.¡± The uncle¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the money. He nodded and said, ¡°what favor?¡± Zhang Yi pointed at the Shengyuan Qi Clinic diagonally across and said, ¡°if you see anyone who wants to enter the Shengyuan Qi Clinic, call for the opening of Pioneer Cultivation Center. The boss is a D-grade certified cultivator.¡± The uncle looked at the Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic and heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words. Something suddenly appeared in his hand. He lowered his head and saw Zhang Yi stuffing 100 alliance dollars into his hand. The uncle grinned and patted his chest. ¡°Leave it to me!¡± After saying that, he did not even care about the food. He went straight to Shengyuan Qi¡¯s door and found a place to sit down. Anyone who passed by would shout, ¡°Pioneer Cultivation Clinic is open! The Boss is a D-grade certified cultivator!¡± After seeing the uncle go over, Zhang Yi turned around and returned to the entrance of the shop. He said to the stunned crowd, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s wait for business!¡± After saying that, he walked into the shop and found a chair to sit on. When Yu Qingqi and the others came back to their senses, they hurriedly walked into the shop. After following Zhang Yi, they found a chair to sit on and waited for customers to come to their door.. Chapter 33 ¡°Pioneer Cultivation Center has opened! The boss is a D-grade cultivator!¡± ¡°Pioneer Cultivation Center has opened! The boss is a D-grade cultivator!¡± Outside Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic¡¯s door, the vegetable seller shouted for the whole morning. All the employees in the shop had been brainwashed by him. The customer in the shop asked, ¡°how much is this medicine?¡± The employee said loudly, ¡°what did you say?¡± ¡°How much?¡± the customer shouted loudly. The employee looked at him in confusion. It was not until noon that the owner of Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic could not take it anymore. He pointed at an employee in the shop and shouted, ¡°quickly find out who the owner of Pioneer Cultivation Clinic is!¡± A few minutes later, the employee stood in front of the owner and said, ¡°the owner of Pioneer Cultivation Clinic is Zhang Yi, a high school student.¡± Hearing this, the shop owner¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°That Zhang Yi from Class 1 of Yiqi City?¡± The shop assistant nodded and said, ¡°that¡¯s right.¡± Hearing the shop assistant¡¯s reply, the shop owner narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s teach him a lesson!¡± The shop owner whispered a few words into the shop assistant¡¯s ear, and then the shop assistant nodded and ran out. Zhang Yi stood at the door and smiled as he watched the shop assistant rush out. With his hands behind his back, he walked into the shop and sat down peacefully. Yu Shiyin looked at him and said, ¡°why are you smiling? It¡¯s been so long, but no one has come over.¡± Hearing Yu Shiyin¡¯s words, Yu Qingqi also said, ¡°that¡¯s right, master. Is there any point in hiring this uncle?¡± Zhang Yi looked at them mysteriously and said, ¡°you can¡¯t eat hot tofu in a hurry. Just wait.¡± ¡°But we¡¯ve been waiting for a long time. It¡¯s getting dark,¡± Qi Yu said as he looked at the sky outside. Zhang Yi said calmly, ¡°we¡¯ve been waiting for so long. It¡¯s only a matter of time. Someone will be coming soon.¡± Half an hour later, a muscular man walked in from the door. Seeing him, Qi Yu and the others immediately stood up and walked forward to welcome the customer. Just as Zhang Yi stood up, the customer shouted, ¡°my familiar is about to evolve!¡± Zhang Yi came up to him and asked, ¡°what¡¯s your name, customer?¡± The customer raised his head slightly and said arrogantly, ¡°My name is Li Erzhu, and my familiar, Lynx, is about to evolve!¡± ¡°Lynx?¡± Zhang Yi turned his head to look at the familiar behind him, and the data immediately appeared in his mind. [Demonic beast name: Peak Panther] [Level: Level 8] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: Normal] [Weakness: Rock/lightning] [Evolution path: ¡­] This was clearly a Peak Panther! He actually said it was a Lynx! Although Peak Panthers and Lynx were both felines, there was still a clear difference between them. There was also a certain difference in price between the two. A Peak Panther was several times more expensive than a Lynx. If one observed carefully, one could still tell the difference between the Peak Panther and the Lynx. Looking at the other party¡¯s magnanimous and arrogant expression, Zhang Yi immediately understood his intention. This man was using the Peak Panther to cheat his money! Li Erzhu said firmly, ¡°that¡¯s right! After evolution, it will be a Berserk Lynx. Don¡¯t make a mistake!¡± Zhang Yi revealed a smile. ¡°No problem. What¡¯s the price?¡± Li Erzhu waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If the evolution succeeds, 100,000 alliance dollars will be yours.¡± ¡°But, if the evolution fails, you have to compensate me with 100,000 alliance dollars!¡± Zhang Yi smiled. ¡°Deal!¡± Zhang Yi walked past Qi Yu and whispered into his ear. Qi Yu heard Zhang Yi¡¯s instructions and immediately went to the door, shouting for the crowd to come in and watch the show. Zhang Yi took out the ingredients and began to cook. Li Kun, who was at the side, had already helped to boil a pot of water. Zhang Yi timed the ingredients and put them in according to the steps. When the pot of soup was ready, he put the panther into the pot. When Li Erzhu saw Zhang Yi¡¯s actions, he laughed. ¡°Hahaha! He¡¯s actually cooking!¡± The people beside him said, ¡°is this still a cultivation center? It¡¯s not some restaurant, right?¡± ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m afraid that these people have gone crazy!¡± At this moment, the smell of meat came from the air. Yu Qingqi and the others could not help but take a sniff. ¡°It smells so good!¡± Qi Yu whispered. The others nodded in agreement. The onlookers took a few deep breaths, wishing that they could absorb all the fragrance in the air. Li Erzhu looked at Zhang Yi fiddling around and sneered in his heart. No matter what he did, it was impossible for him to evolve the Peak Panther into a Lynx! At that time, he would have to pay 100,000 alliance dollars! An hour later, Zhang Yi came in front of Li Erzhu and said, ¡°when the lid is lifted, it will evolve into a Berserk Lynx.¡± Li Erzhu said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. As long as it can be upgraded to a Berserk Lynx, 100,000 dollars will be yours!¡± Zhang Yi looked at him meaningfully and said, ¡°alright.¡± After saying that, he walked over to the big pot and lifted the lid. The original Peak Panther had shrunk in size, and the lines on its body had also decreased. Its eyes were not as sharp as before. Its tail was much shorter. Zhang Yi brought the Berserk Lynx to Li Erzhu. ¡°Give me the money!¡± Li Erzhu looked at the familiar that had turned into a Berserk Lynx and stood rooted to the ground. Was this still his Peak Panther? How could it evolve into a Lynx? There was a huge difference between the two! Zhang Yi looked at his shocked expression and sneered in his heart. ¡®They¡¯re both cats. Why can¡¯t a Peak Panther evolve into a Lynx?¡¯ This was clearly written in the data! Zhang Yi reached out her hand and placed it in front of Li Erzhu. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to gamble, you must admit defeat. Give me the money!¡± Li Erzhu came back to his senses and stepped back repeatedly. He stuttered, ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t¡­ I don¡¯t have that much money.¡± Zhang Yi said coldly, ¡°you want to renege on your debt?¡± Chapter 34 Zhang Yi waved his hand, and Qi Yu and the others immediately understood. Li Kun closed the door, and Qi Yu¡¯s Emergency Hound walked out. It kept barking at Li Erzhu. ¡°Tie him up, and have someone bring money to redeem him!¡± Zhang Yi said coldly. Yu Qingqi immediately walked up with a rope, wanting to tie Li Erzhu up in all sorts of ways. Li Erzhu saw Yu Qingqi walking over with the rope in one hand and the mace in the other, and he hid back in fear. Trembling, he said, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Zhang Yi immediately smiled and brought the machine to Li Erzhu. Li Erzhu took the alliance card and swiped it. 100,000 yuan was immediately transferred to Zhang Yi¡¯s card. After Zhang Yi saw him do all this, the smile on his face collapsed. ¡°Chase them out!¡± After saying that, Li Kun and the others immediately went forward and chased Li Erzhu and the people he had brought out. Zhang Yi took out a D-grade cultivation certificate from his pocket. With a ¡®pa!¡¯ sound, he slapped the certificate on the table. Everyone looked at the table and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. The certificate showed that Zhang Yi was a 16-year-old D-grade cultivator. Oh my god! A 16-year-old D-grade cultivator! Who had ever seen such a young cultivator! This was simply unprecedented! Someone immediately came back to his senses and went up to Zhang Yi, saying, ¡°Master, please help my subdued beast evolve.¡± When he said that, the crowd came back to their senses and said, ¡°Master, help my subdued beast evolve.¡± Seeing their reactions, Zhang Yi smiled and said to them, ¡°don¡¯t worry, take your time.¡± Yu Qingqi and the others began to maintain order in the area, making them sit on chairs. Zhang Yi took care of a few pots and placed the ingredients in them. Li Kun was beside her, assisting her. A few minutes later, the soup was ready, and Yu Shiyin brought it over. The subdued beasts that drank the medicinal soup had all successfully evolved. When Yu Qingqi saw them, he immediately walked over. He placed the machine in front of them, and when the beastmasters saw that their subdued beasts had successfully evolved, they waved their hands happily. They paid the money decisively, then left. All the beastmasters who passed by Pioneer Cultivation Center stopped in their tracks because of their subdued beasts. The words of their subdued beasts rang in their minds. ¡°I really want to eat some of that.¡± Their masters smiled bitterly. What else could they do? They could only satisfy the needs of their subdued beasts. They walked into the cultivation center and sat down, waiting for the soup to be served. The sky darkened, and Pioneer Cultivation Center closed its doors. ¡°How much did we earn today?¡± Zhang Yi asked. He was very concerned about this issue. Yu Qingqi did some calculations and said, ¡°very little. It¡¯s only two million alliance dollars.¡± Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this number. How could this be called little? This was the most money he had ever seen! The smile on his face grew wider and wider. Even Yu Shiyin and the others were smiling. This was the money they had earned. They were filled with a sense of accomplishment! Yu Qingqi continued, ¡°excluding the equipment, renovations, utilities, and other miscellaneous expenses, we only have 800,000 alliance dollars left.¡± Hearing his words, Zhang Yi¡¯s heart ached. This cost was really high! Fortunately, they had earned back the cost on the first day, and they even made a profit of 800,000 dollars. Not bad, not bad! ¡°Give the shares to everyone,¡± Zhang Yi said. The profit of 800,000 dollars was 160,000 dollars per person. With this, Xiaoxiao and Snowy¡¯s meals were settled! Zhang Yi walked out of the cultivation center¡¯s door and first bought the materials needed for Snowy¡¯s evolution from the materials department store. Then, he bought some materials for Snowy to level up before heading home. After returning home, Zhang Yi went straight to the kitchen. He put the materials into the pot to cook. When the time was right, she put Snowy into the pot. Then, he started to cook dinner for the day. He let Snowy evolve first. He should be able to successfully evolve by tomorrow. The next day, Zhang Yi got up and went straight to the kitchen. When he looked at Snowy in the pot, the data in his mind had changed. [Demon beast name: Icy Fox] [Level: Level 4] [Attributes: Ice] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Hungry, excited] [Weakness: Fire/Lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] Zhang Yi looked at Snowy who had successfully evolved, and a smile appeared on his face. After cooking the food that Snowy could eat, he started to make breakfast. After eating, Zhang Yi brought Xiaoxiao out of the house, leaving Snowy at home. When they arrived at the cultivation center, Zhang Yi saw that the beastmasters were already lining up. He quickly walked in. When Qi Yu saw Zhang Yi walk in, he said with a smile, ¡°quick, there are a lot of people waiting for you.¡± Zhang Yi nodded and walked into a large room. This room was where Zhang Yi specially made soup and pills for these subdued beasts. Today, not only was he going to make medicinal soup, but he was also going to make pills that could allow subdued beasts to evolve. Zhang Yi put the two pots away and began to make medicinal soup. After putting all the ingredients in, he began to develop the pills. A few hours later, Zhang Yi called Yu Shiyin in and placed the prepared pills in front of her. ¡°These are all pills that can allow your subdued beasts to evolve,¡± Zhang Yi pointed at the small porcelain bottles and said. ¡°This one is wind-type, and this one is wood-type¡­¡± Zhang Yi introduced them to Yu Shiyin. Yu Shiyin was very surprised when she heard this. She did not expect Zhang Yi to be so amazing. He could even make these pills. She thought that Zhang Yi only knew how to boil these soup pills to help familiars evolve. ¡°Each person is limited to one pill. You can take it out and sell it now,¡± Zhang Yi continued to say. After Yu Shiyin heard his instructions, she took these pills and walked out. Zhang Yi continued to brew his medicinal soup. The number of pills he took out to sell was not much. There were only fifteen bottles. If one wanted to buy these pills, the higher the price, the better the chance. Also, the pills were not available every day. This would depend on whether the ingredients were enough, as well as Zhang Yi¡¯s mood.. Chapter 35 Yu Shiyin walked out with over a dozen bottles of medicine in her hands. All the beastmasters who were sitting immediately looked at her. Yu Shiyin stood in a place where all the beastmasters could see her clearly, placing the bottle in her hand on the table. The beastmasters were all very curious when they saw the bottle, and immediately asked, ¡°what¡¯s this?¡± ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, what¡¯s in the small porcelain bottle?¡± Yu Shiyin held the loudspeaker and said, ¡°quiet down for a moment.¡± In an instant, the entire cultivation center fell silent. ¡°These porcelain bottles contain pills that can allow your subdued beasts to evolve.¡± Hearing this, everyone was delighted. They had not expected such good stuff to exist. ¡°How much is this?¡± ¡°I want to buy two bottles!!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll buy them all!!¡± Everyone began to argue. Yu Shiyin picked up the loudspeaker and said, ¡°quiet!¡± She was interrupted before she could finish her sentence, feeling a little displeased. ¡°Each of you can only buy one of these pills.¡± ¡°The method of sale is an auction. The highest bidder will get it.¡± After Yu Shiyin explained the rules clearly, all the beastmasters were in high spirits. Some even took out their phones and started calling their families, asking their parents to transfer the money over. Yu Shiyin smiled and waited for two minutes before the auction officially began. She took out a porcelain bottle, raised it up, and said, ¡°this is a pill for the evolution of a wood-type subdued beast. The starting price is 5,000 alliance dollars.¡± ¡°Let the bidding begin!¡± As soon as Yu Shiyin finished speaking, someone immediately raised his hand and shouted, ¡°6,000 alliance dollars!¡± ¡°7,000!¡± ¡°9,000!¡± ¡°10,000!¡± ¡°15,000!¡± Hearing this price, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This person directly raised the price to 15,000. For a moment, no one else came out to bid. Seeing this, Yu Shiyin picked up the loudspeaker and said, ¡°this medicinal pill belongs to this man.¡± After saying that, she handed the porcelain bottle to Li Kun, who took it to the man¡¯s hand. Yu Qingqi took the machine to the man¡¯s side and put it in front of him. He paid the bill very happily. Seeing how happy he was, the smile on Yu Qingqi¡¯s face became bigger. He retreated to his own seat and watched the upcoming auction. Zhang Yi listened to the lively atmosphere outside. After he finished brewing the soup, he walked out. When Yu Shiyin saw Zhang Yi walk out, she handed the loudspeaker to Zhang Yi. ¡°You¡¯re up next.¡± After she said that, she pushed Zhang Yi to the spot where she had stood just now. She herself was watching him from the side. As soon as Zhang Yi walked out, he was pushed to the platform with an extra loudspeaker in his hand. He was instantly stunned. He had only come out to watch the show. How did it turn out like this? When the beastmasters saw that the person who was supposed to be auctioned had turned into Zhang Yi, they instantly became excited. ¡°Chef Zhang! Chef Zhang!¡± ¡°Chef Zhang! Chef Zhang!¡± Zhang Yi jumped in fright at the lively shouts, then picked up the loudspeaker and said, ¡°next up is the wind-type evolution pill.¡± As soon as he spoke, all the beastmasters quieted down. ¡°The starting price is 5,000 alliance dollars.¡± ¡°7,000!¡± As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, someone immediately shouted. ¡°10,000!¡± ¡°12,000!¡± ¡°20,000!¡± When Zhang Yi heard 20,000, he was delighted. The reason he did not raise the starting price was because he knew that they would be competing fervently. The price of the pill would naturally go up. If it was sold according to the formula, each pill would be sold for 20,000 alliance dollars. However, the auction was different. The price would be even higher. ¡°This pill belongs to this lady.¡± Zhang Yi pointed at the lady who bid 20,000 alliance dollars and said, giving the pill to Yu Shiyin. Yu Shiyin took it and walked to the lady, giving the pill to her. Seeing this, Yu Qingqi immediately walked forward and stretched out the machine in his hand, gesturing for her to pay. After she paid, Yu Qingqi returned to his original position. The entire morning, the cultivation center was holding an auction of medicinal pills. After auctioning off all the medicinal pills, Zhang Yi announced to everyone present, ¡°this auction of medicinal pills has come to an end!¡± ¡°In the future, auctions will be held at random intervals. It might be a few months later, or it might be a year later.¡± When everyone present heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they were filled with regret. They regretted not buying the pills earlier. As for those who had bought the pills, smiles appeared on their faces. It was a good thing that they had bought them. Otherwise, who knew when they would be able to buy them? Those who came to the cultivation center must have wanted their subdued beasts to become stronger and stronger. If they could level up, they would level up. It would be even better if they could evolve their grade. In the evening, the Pioneer Cultivation Center closed its doors. Zhang Yi and the others sat on chairs and chatted. ¡°How much did you earn today?¡± Zhang Yi asked. He was looking forward to it very much. Judging from today¡¯s auction, the income should be quite big. ¡°We made a total of one million today!¡± Yu Qingqi told Zhang Yi the account after the day¡¯s liquidation. Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes widened when he heard the figure. Although it was less than yesterday¡¯s, it was still not bad! ¡°Excluding the purchase of some materials, our net profit is 800,000,¡± Yu Qingqi continued. Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment. It was the same as yesterday¡¯s net profit. ¡°Not bad!¡± As Qi Yu spoke, Zhang Yi patted Yu Qingqi on the shoulder. ¡°Pass the dividends to everyone.¡± After Zhang Yi said that, he stood up and walked out of the door. ¡°Where are you going, Master?¡± Yu Qingqi looked at Zhang Yi who was about to leave and asked. Zhang Yi did not even turn his head and said, ¡°home.¡± Yu Qingqi strode over to Zhang Yi¡¯s side and hooked his arm around Zhang Yi¡¯s neck. ¡°Let¡¯s go have a gathering.¡± Zhang Yi took his hand down and waved. ¡°You guys go ahead. My sister is waiting for me at home..¡± Chapter 36 After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. Yu Qingqi looked at Zhang Yi¡¯s departing figure and turned around to shrug at them. ¡°Let¡¯s go back home. We¡¯ll talk about it after dinner. There¡¯s still plenty of time.¡± After saying that, he walked out of the door, leaving Qi Yu and the others behind. After Zhang Yi walked out with Xiaoxiao, he headed straight for Central Park. After arriving at Central Park, he successfully caught a chicken and left the place. After returning home, a gust of cold wind hit him as he opened the door. When Zhang Yi saw the scene in the room, her face instantly turned black. All the tables and chairs in the room were frozen. Zhang Ru was ordering Snowy to freeze the fruits on the table. ¡°Snowy, freeze this.¡± Zhang Ru did not realize that the door had been opened. She was still happily letting Snowy use her Ice Seal skill. ¡°Zhang Ru!¡± Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said coldly. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s voice, Zhang Ru suddenly shivered. She turned her head stiffly and found Zhang Yi standing at the door, staring at her coldly. Zhang Ru immediately stood up and patted Snowy, then looked at Zhang Yi with a smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± she replied obediently. Zhang Yi did not say anything. He closed the door and came in front of Zhang Ru, sneering. He raised her chin, motioning for Zhang Ru to take a look at the current state of the room. Zhang Ru looked around the room and saw that the room was very cool. She did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She turned her head to look at Zhang Yi, giving him a questioning look. Zhang Yi took a few deep breaths and said, ¡°Snowy is a subdued beast, not a tool for you.¡± When Zhang Ru heard this, she immediately became upset. ¡°I just want to eat something cold.¡± Seeing Zhang Ru¡¯s look, the anger in Zhang Yi¡¯s heart instantly subsided. Zhang Ru was the best at using these expressions to make Zhang Yi calm down. It worked every time. Seeing that Zhang Yi calmed down a little, Zhang Ru heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. ¡°I¡¯ll clean the house immediately!¡± she quickly said. After saying that, she picked up the broom and began to clean the house. Seeing Zhang Ru like this, Zhang Yi sighed. He placed the snacks that he bought for her on the table and walked into the kitchen. Zhang Ru caught a glimpse of Zhang Yi walking into the kitchen from the corner of her eye and immediately put down the broom in her hand. She grabbed the snacks on the table and started eating. After Zhang Yi finished cooking dinner, he walked out of the kitchen and said to Zhang Ru, ¡°it¡¯s time to eat.¡± He placed the cooked chicken in front of Snowy, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating dinner. Just as Zhang Yi finished eating, his cell phone rang. He looked at who was calling. He realized that it was the captain of the Qilie Hunter Squad, Bai Haoshi. Ever since he rescued Zhang Yi last time, they had exchanged contact information. He wondered why he had called this time. He picked up the call. ¡°Captain Bai, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Bai Haoshi¡¯s deep voice came from the other end of the line. ¡°I heard that you opened a cultivation center?¡± Zhang Yi was very happy. He did not expect that even the captain knew about his cultivation center. Zhang Yi replied, ¡°yeah, why?¡± ¡°Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic issued a ban order, preventing all hunter teams from providing you with the materials.¡± Zhang Yi frowned when he heard this. He did not expect them to be so insidious. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. Our Qilie Team will provide you with the materials!¡± Bai Haoshi said on the other end of the phone. A smile appeared on Zhang Yi¡¯s face. He felt very touched in his heart. ¡°Okay, in the future, the cultivation clinic will buy your supply at 20% of the market price.¡± Zhang Yi was like that. If people treated him well, he would treat them even better. If someone offended him, he would make that person unhappy for the rest of his life. After chatting with Bai Haoshi for a while, he hung up the phone. The next day, after Zhang Yi arrived at the cultivation clinic. He told them about the conversation he had with Bai Haoshi yesterday. When they heard that, their eyes were filled with anger. Yu Qingqi slapped the table. ¡°What do we do now?¡± Qi Yu said, ¡°fortunately, Qilie Team is still willing to provide us with supplies.¡± Upon hearing his words, Li Kun nodded his head in agreement. Everyone in the cultivation clinic immediately fell silent. Everyone was thinking of ways to deal with the situation. At this moment, a piece of news appeared on the screen in the middle of Yiqi City¡¯s main street. ¡°Yiqi City¡¯s military has issued an urgent order, inviting all the cultivators to deal with this crisis!¡± This piece of news had been broadcast three times in total, and each one was louder than the last. The entire city could hear the announcement. When Zhang Yi heard this news, his eyes instantly lit up, and he had a good idea. Yu Shiyin looked at Zhang Yi, noticing his sudden change of mood, and asked, ¡°Zhang Yi, you have an idea?¡± The corners of Zhang Yi¡¯s mouth curled up, and he said, ¡°we can connect with the military!¡± Li Kun asked, ¡°are you talking about the urgent recruitment?¡± Zhang Yi said firmly, ¡°of course!¡± With that, Zhang Yi took out his cell phone and dialed the registration number. Inside Shengyuan Qi Cultivation Clinic. Boss Shengyuan Qi, who had also seen the news, also took out his cell phone and dialed the registration number. ¡°Is it the registration office? I¡¯m an elder of Qingying Team, Shi Qingwen.¡± ¡°If Zhang Yi from Pioneer Cultivation Center has registered, cross it off immediately!¡± A cold voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°Sorry, you don¡¯t have the right.¡± After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone. Shi Qingwen looked at the phone in his hand, and his face instantly darkened. After signing up, Zhang Yi felt very happy. This whole day had been filled with joy. In the afternoon, he closed the door of the cultivation center early in the morning and brought Xiaoxiao to the Middle Forest District.. Chapter 37 Zhang Yi was going to school tomorrow. Before he went to school, he would come to the Middle Forest District to train Xiaoxiao¡¯s fighting strength. He did not know what to do about the cultivation center tomorrow. As he walked, he was thinking about it. Perhaps he could let Zhang Ru go take a look. She was already ten years old. It was time for her to leave the house. He felt that this was a pretty good idea. He heaved a sigh of relief and walked into the Middle Forest District. As soon as he walked in, a demon beast appeared in front of him. Upon seeing it, data immediately appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Red-feathered Rat] [Level: Level 14] [Attributes: Fire] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Hungry] [Weakness: Ice/water] [Hobbies: Roasting food before eating it] After looking at its data, Zhang Yi trembled. This demonic beast hobby was really strange. ¡°Xiaoxiao, go!¡± Xiaoxiao immediately turned into a beam of light and flew towards the demon beast. Two figures were moving quickly. Zhang Yi saw Xiaoxiao¡¯s Dark Nether Stinger flying towards the demon beast. Then, with a bang, the Red-feathered Rat fell to the ground with its eyes closed. Then, a fiery-red crystal appeared beside its corpse. Zhang Yi picked up the crystal. He did not expect the Red-feathered Rat to have a crystal in its body. After putting the crystal into his bag, he continued to walk, picking up the precious materials on the ground along the way. Two hours later, Zhang Yi walked out of the Middle Forest District with a bulging backpack. Xiaoxiao was standing on his shoulder. After returning home, he put Xiaoxiao down and unloaded the backpack. After stretching his shoulders, he walked into the kitchen. Just as he was about to sit down to eat, his phone rang. Zhang Yi took out his phone and picked up the call. ¡°Master, the Qilie Team has been besieged!¡± Yu Qingqi said anxiously on the other end of the phone. Today, they had closed the cultivation center early, so Zhang Yi had asked him to pick up the supply from the Qilie Team. He did not expect such a thing to happen, so he stood up immediately. Zhang Ru looked at the anxious Zhang Yi and asked, ¡°aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡± After Zhang Yi tidied up, he said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to eat. You stay at home. I have to go out for a while.¡± After saying that, he brought Xiaoxiao and Snowy out of the door. Zhang Ru looked at the anxious Zhang Yi. After eating a few mouthfuls, she started to clean up the dishes. After Yu Qingqi made a few calls, he hid behind a rock with the members of the Qilie Team. In the sky, the Qilie Team¡¯s wind spirits were battling with the Wind Hall Red Bird from the opponent team. Five fanged yaks were charging in their direction. With a bang, the rock in front of Yu Qingqi was instantly shattered. Just as the yaks were about to attack them, brown spikes repelled the yaks. A goat jumped in front of them to block the yaks. The eagle flew into the sky and followed them to deal with the red bird. The hound ran towards the yaks and bit off their skins. They came to Yu Qingqi¡¯s side and looked at them. After confirming that they were not injured, they heaved a sigh of relief. Zhang Yi looked at Bai Haoshi and felt a little guilty. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Captain Bai. I let you get involved in this mess.¡± Bai Haoshi waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. If they dare to treat me like this, I¡¯ll teach them a lesson!¡± Just as they were talking, a demon beast appeared out of nowhere and threw a torch onto their medicine cart. Then, it flew into the air and watched them from above. ¡°Not good, there¡¯s fire!¡± Yu Qingqi shouted loudly. Yu Qingqi immediately ordered his familiar to freeze the torch, and only then did he heave a sigh of relief. Hearing Yu Qingqi¡¯s shout, everyone looked toward the medicine cart. Fortunately, the damage was minimal. Zhang Yi looked up at the Demon Beast in the sky. [Demon beast name: Tactical Griffin] [Level: Level 14] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Insane] [Weakness: Lightning] ¡°Li Kun, let the eagle deal with it.¡± Zhang Yi looked at the griffin and said. Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, Li Kun immediately commanded his familiar to attack the griffin. In the end, a high-grade griffin was no match for an excellent-grade mountain eagle. Very soon, it fell from the sky. Zhang Yi looked at the griffin that fell down and narrowed his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile. He turned to look at them and said, ¡°if they don¡¯t attack me, I won¡¯t attack them.¡± ¡°However, now they made the first move. Of course, we can¡¯t let them off so easily!¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they all nodded solemnly. However, they did not know how to fight back. ¡°What should we do?¡± Yu Shiyin asked. Zhang Yi mysteriously motioned them forward with his finger. Seeing this, everyone immediately took a step forward and approached Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi whispered his plan. After hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s plan, everyone¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s do it!¡± Qi Yu said with a smile. ¡°Xiaoxiao, follow them.¡± As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, a shadow immediately flew out. Bai Haoshi asked the two team members to push the medicinal cart back. Zhang Yi felt that there was no need for everyone to be here. He had Yu Shiyin and Qi Yu follow the members of the Qilie Team to send the medicinal herbs back to the cultivation center. 20 minutes later, the enemy beastmasters and their subdued beasts fainted on the ground. They were handily defeated. Xiaoxiao jumped onto Zhang Yi¡¯s shoulder. Zhang Yi patted its head and praised, ¡°well done! I¡¯ll cook something delicious for you when we get back!¡± Hearing that, Xiaoxiao immediately called out twice and patted Zhang Yi¡¯s shoulder with its own hand. Hearing its voice, Zhang Yi knew that it was very happy, and the corners of his mouth curled up as well. ¡°Hurry up and change your clothes,¡± Yu Qingqi said. He had already taken off his beastmaster¡¯s clothes. 20 minutes later, the few of them changed their clothes and headed towards the western suburbs together.. Chapter 38 A few minutes later, they arrived at the edge of the western suburbs. A house appeared in their line of sight. Bai Haoshi pointed at the house in front of them and said, ¡°that¡¯s where they keep their medicinal herbs.¡± Zhang Yi looked up into the sky. A group of flying familiars were patrolling the area. [Demon beast name: Heshan Falcon] [Level: Level 14] [Attribute: Wind] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Calm] [Weakness: Lightning] [Characteristics: Good eyesight. A good helper for the patrolling soldiers] [Hobbies: Likes to eat fruits. As long as there are any fruits, it will eat them at all cost] After reading the information about the falcon, Zhang Yi took out a few fruits that he had brought from home. Turning to Yu Qingqi, he said, ¡°when you see the falcon coming down, quickly set a fire in the north.¡± Hearing that, Yu Qingqi nodded and took out the Wuyou Stone. As long as the Wuyou Stone was lit, it would spread a fire that was very difficult to put out. After Yu Qingqi was ready, Zhang Yi threw the fruits to a place where the falcon could see them. Seeing the fruits as it streaked across the sky, the falcon instantly flew toward them. After Yu Qingqi saw it coming down, he immediately went to the north side of the house, quickly lit a fire, and quickly returned. Seeing the fire, the guards immediately looked for their water-type familiars to put out the fire, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not put it out. The fire was getting stronger and stronger. ¡°Bring a few trucks over.¡± After Zhang Yi hung up the phone, he went to the edge of the house. A soldier said, ¡°quickly move the medicinal herbs inside!¡± Hearing that, Zhang Yi immediately walked up to them, signaling them with his eyes. After they had moved the medicinal herbs out, the car drove over and parked in front of them. Zhang Yi and the others immediately put the medicinal herbs into the car. After making sure that all the medicinal herbs were secure, they quickly got into the car. Everyone was focused on putting out the fire, and nobody noticed the cars driving away. After returning to the cultivation center, they stored the medicinal herbs in the warehouse. The whole bunch sat down on the chairs together. ¡°Hahahaha! Let¡¯s see if they can still be arrogant!¡± Yu Qingqi laughed loudly. ¡°That¡¯s right! This time, they will suffer!¡± Qi Yu also said. ¡°We are going to school tomorrow. Who will be in charge of the cultivation center?¡± Yu Shiyin said. The others were stunned. This was indeed a problem. Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll get Zhang Ru to come over and take care of registration. Once school is over, we¡¯ll just return to the cultivation center.¡± After hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, they all heaved a sigh of relief. The next day, Zhang Ru brought her phone to the Pioneer Cultivation Center. To her, it was just a change of location, so there was nothing to object to. There was a plate of fruit next to her, and Snowy was freezing the fruit on the plate. There was a notice posted at the entrance of the shop. Register with the cultivation center, and the demon beasts could be cultivated in the afternoon. A brawny man with thick eyebrows and big eyes glanced at the door, then walked in. Next to him was a Thunderstorm Bear. ¡°I¡¯m here to register,¡± he stood in front of Zhang Ru and said. Zhang Ru looked up and asked for his information. ¡°What¡¯s the name of the familiar?¡± The brawny man replied, ¡°Thunderstorm Bear.¡± After asking a few more questions, the brawny man saw that Zhang Ru had registered all the information, and then left happily. Zhang Ru registered a lot of people¡¯s information, and at that moment¡­ The sound of knocking came from the door. Zhang Ru carried Snowy out of the cultivation center. She saw a cold-looking middle-aged man standing at the door, smacking the door with the whip in his hand. Next to him stood a Misty Mountain Beetle. Zhang Ru first looked at the time, then looked at him coldly. The middle-aged man was stunned. He was here to cause trouble, why was this person so calm? Zhang Ru even walked to the training center, not worried at all. It was almost time for school to end anyway. It was only a few minutes¡¯ walk from Zhang Yi¡¯s school. If she walked fast, she would be able to appear at the training center within five minutes. As time passed, the middle-aged man at the entrance was getting more and more intense. He was still shouting, ¡°liar! This pill is really harmful!¡± Zhang Yi and the others were a little worried about the cultivation center, seeing that Zhang Ru had come here. They rushed over as soon as school was over, in the end, they saw a group of people surrounding the entrance of their training center. There were also some strange sounds. Then, they heard a voice saying that the pills they had sold had harmed his subdued beast. Zhang Yi and the others pushed aside the crowd and walked over. When the middle-aged man saw Zhang Yi, he became even more excited. ¡°Liar!! Pay for my subdued beast!¡± Zhang Yi looked at his subdued beast, and its data appeared in his mind. [Demon beast name: Misty Mountain Beetle] [Level: Level 6] [Attribute: Rock] [Grade: Normal] [Status: Dull] [Weakness: Lightning/superpowered ] [Requirements to evolve: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] ¡°What did we lie to you about?¡± Yu Qingqi asked him angrily. ¡°You guys said that subdued beasts can evolve after eating the pills. Why is my subdued beast still ordinary-grade?!¡± the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and said coldly. Hearing this, Zhang Yi could not help but raise his eyebrows and look coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him. This man was clearly bribed by someone to come here and cause trouble. Want to cause trouble for his cultivation center? It was simply a fool¡¯s dream! ¡°How is that possible?¡± Qi Yu retorted. They all trusted Zhang Yi very much. ¡°How is that not possible!¡± the middle-aged man said.. Chapter 39 Zhang Yi listened to his words and smiled, asking, ¡°when did your subdued beast eat the pill?¡± The middle-aged man said firmly, ¡°of course it ate it after I bought it!¡± Hearing this, Zhang Yi¡¯s smile grew even wider. ¡°I don¡¯t see any signs of the pill in your subdued beast¡¯s body.¡± The middle-aged man was a little flustered. He said loudly, ¡°it¡¯s been so long, of course, there are no signs in its body!¡± ¡°Is that so? Logically speaking, you should be able to successfully evolve after eating pills for a night, but you only came two days later. Why?¡± Zhang Yi asked. ¡°Of course it¡¯s¡­ Of course, it¡¯s because I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m a little busy and don¡¯t have time, so I only had time to come today!¡± The middle-aged man stuttered. Yu Qingqi, who was watching from the side, was clearly a little flustered. He said to Qi Yu, ¡°could it be that this person is here to cause trouble?¡± ¡°Be more confident. Get rid of him. He¡¯s here to cause trouble!¡± Qi Yu replied. ¡°Then what should we do? Throw him out?¡± Li Kun said. ¡°Let¡¯s see what Zhang Yi will do,¡± Yu Shiyin shook her head and said. ¡°Then how do you want to solve it?¡± Zhang Yi smiled and asked the middle-aged man in front of him. When the middle-aged man heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, he instantly straightened his back and said, ¡°of course you¡¯ll compensate me with money!¡± When Zhang Yi heard this, a glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°how much do you want as compensation?¡± When Yu Qingqi and the others heard Zhang Yi¡¯s reply, he tugged at Zhang Yi¡¯s clothes. ¡°Master, are you really going to compensate him?¡± Yu Qingqi whispered beside Zhang Yi. ¡°Of course not. Just wait and see.¡± After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he pulled Yu Qingqi¡¯s hand away. Qi Yu and the others looked at Yu Qingqi. Yu Qingqi shrugged at them, indicating that he did not know what Zhang Yi was up to. ¡°Of course it¡¯s 500,000 alliance dollars!¡± The middle-aged man said, causing everyone to inhale sharply. This person was here to rob them, right? was he asking for so much money as compensation? Zhang Yi nodded and said, ¡°sure.¡± The middle-aged man immediately laughed, taking out his bank card and handing it to Zhang Yi. ¡°Don¡¯t rush. We¡¯re not sure if your subdued beast ate the pill or not.¡± Zhang Yi pushed his hand away and pushed the bank card back to him. When the middle-aged man heard this, he said angrily, ¡°you want to go back on your words?¡± ¡°Of course not, but how do you prove that your subdued beast ate the pill?¡± The middle-aged man was instantly speechless. ¡°If you have a way to prove that your subdued beast ate the pill but did not successfully evolve, I¡¯ll immediately compensate you with 600,000 alliance dollars.¡± ¡°However, if I prove that your subdued beast didn¡¯t eat the pill, you have to compensate me with 1,000,000 alliance dollars!¡± The middle-aged man was delighted when he heard Zhang Yi¡¯s first sentence. However, after hearing the second sentence, he felt some lingering fear. He did not have that much money. What should he do? He felt that Zhang Yi definitely would not be able to produce any evidence. His confidence immediately grew. He said, ¡°this subdued beast of mine was originally a Cracked Spore Mountain Beetle, but after eating the pill you sold, it did not evolve!¡± ¡°In other words, you don¡¯t have any evidence?¡± Zhang Yi said. The middle-aged man pointed at the mountain beetle and said, ¡°my subdued beast is my evidence.¡± Zhang Yi smiled and said, ¡°you don¡¯t have evidence, but I do.¡± As he said that, he walked into the cultivation center. Qi Yu and the others saw this, and they followed him in. The middle-aged man also walked in. Zhang Yi found the surveillance camera footage and played the recording for everyone to see. Everyone could see clearly that the demon beast next to the middle-aged man was not a mountain beetle at all. It was a bear. When he had taken the pill, he had immediately fed it to his subdued beast. After watching the footage, everyone looked at the middle-aged man. For a moment, the man could not say anything to refute. He stood rooted to the ground. He had never thought that there would be a surveillance camera here. Yu Qingqi slapped his forehead and said, ¡°that¡¯s right! I forgot that our cultivation center still has surveillance cameras!¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Li Kun looked at Yu Qingqi with disdain. ¡°I forgot.¡± Yu Qingqi said softly. Zhang Yi came before the middle-aged man. He said, ¡°give me the money. It¡¯s a total of 1,000,000 alliance dollars.¡± The man came back to his senses and said fiercely, ¡°are you going to rob me?¡± Zhang Yi sneered. ¡°Are you going to give it or not?¡± The man said, ¡°no! I don¡¯t have the money!¡± Zhang Yi waved her hand and said, ¡°close the door and release the hounds!¡± The door was closed and the hounds rushed over while howling. The middle-aged man was so scared that he immediately stepped back and said with trembling legs, ¡°I¡¯ll give it! I¡¯ll give It!¡± When the middle-aged man swiped the card, Zhang Yi saw that one million alliance dollars had been transferred to his account. He was very happy. He looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly, ¡°throw him out!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Hearing Zhang Yi¡¯s words, Li Kun and Qi Yu immediately responded. They walked to the front of the middle-aged man, each grabbing an arm. Ignoring his struggle, they dragged him to the door. They threw him forward, fiercely throwing him out the door. His subdued beast had long been defeated by Xiaoxiao, and just like the middle-aged man, he was thrown out the door. After making the medicine for those who registered, the sky was already dark. After closing the main entrance of the cultivation center, Zhang Yi brought Zhang Ru home. On the way, Zhang Ru saw a stand selling snacks, and she refused to move. Zhang Yi saw that Zhang Ru was missing. He turned around and saw that she was staring at the snack stand in a daze. Zhang Yi shook his head and smiled as he walked over to the snack stand. When Zhang Ru saw that Zhang Yi wanted to buy snacks, the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger. ¡°You did well today. This is your reward..¡± Chapter 40 After Zhang Yi paid, he took the snack from the boss and placed it in Zhang Ru¡¯s hand. Zhang Ru took the snack and asked with a smile, ¡°if I perform well every day, will there be delicious food every day?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Zhang Yi patted Zhang Ru¡¯s head and said. Zhang Ru was eating the snack in her hand. When she heard Zhang Yi¡¯s words, she grinned and said, ¡°I will perform better tomorrow!¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait.¡± Not long after, the two of them returned to the small house. Zhang Yi walked into the kitchen. Zhang Ru sat on the sofa and turned on the television. In the evening, after the two of them had finished eating, Zhang Yi brought Snowy and Xiaoxiao out of the house. Now, Zhang Ru would watch the cultivation center. If there were people who came to find trouble every day, it would be very dangerous without Snowy by her side. Moreover, people would soon find the missing medicinal herbs, and they would know that he was the one who took them. At that time, it would be even more trouble. Therefore, he had to let Snowy evolve as soon as possible so that he could protect Zhang Ru. A man and two beasts walked for nearly half an hour and arrived at the west side of the city. Because Zhang Yi had been here once before, he was very familiar with the area. Walking inside, he soon saw a beautiful flower. However, when Zhang Yi walked to the side, the flower moved along with him. It followed closely, and was never far away from Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi realized that something was wrong. He took a look at the flower and immediately recalled its data. [Demon beast name: Five-colored Water Lotus] [Level: Level 10] [Attributes: Plant] [Grade: High] [Status: Happy] [Weakness: Lightning] [Hobbies: release the fragrance of flowers, causing humans or demon beasts to fall into a deep sleep, and eat them while they are asleep] After Zhang Yi finished reading its stats, he immediately covered his mouth and nose and took a few steps back. He instructed Snowy to attack the Five-colored Water Lotus. The Five-colored Water Lotus moved a few steps towards Zhang Yi, and one of its petals suddenly lost its color. When Zhang Yi saw this, he had Xiaoxiao and snowy hold their breaths, instructing Snowy to freeze the Five-colored Water Lotus. Snowy immediately launched an attack in the direction of the water lotus. Before Snowy could attack, the water lotus used its petals to form a shield in front of it. However, Snowy¡¯s attack passed through the shield and successfully hit the water lotus. Zhang Yi was a little surprised when he saw Snowy¡¯s attack. He did not expect that the level 4 Snowy could actually freeze a level 10 water lotus! Although both of them were high-grade, the difference between them was 6 levels! He had been worried that Snowy¡¯s attack would not damage the water lotus, but he had never thought that it would be able to freeze the water lily! This was too shocking! The water lotus was frozen by Snowy, and its original petal color had recovered. Seeing this, Zhang Yi immediately instructed Xiaoxiao to use the Dark Nether Stinger. Several sharp stingers flew from Xiaoxiao towards the water lotus. Bang! The Five-colored Water Lotus shattered on the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Yi put stopped covering his mouth and nose and continued walking inside. When he passed by a graveyard, Xiaoxiao looked behind the graveyard vigilantly. Snowy only reacted after Xiaoxiao looked over. Seeing their reaction, Zhang Yi immediately became alert and walked over carefully. Behind the grave was a scorpion with its back facing Zhang Yi. The ground around it was frozen. After Zhang Yi saw it, data appeared in her mind. [Demon beast name: Ice Scorpion] [Level: Level 8] [Attributes: Ice/poison] [Grade: Excellent] [Status: Excited (catching a demon beast)] [Weakness: Fire/lightning] [Hobby: Freeze the surrounding area. As long as a prey step on the frozen ground, it will immediately be frozen] Zhang Yi was delighted. This demon beast was of the ice element, and it might drop crystals. He gave Xiaoxiao a look, and after a little understanding, it used the Dark Nether Stinger to attack this demon beast. The Ice Scorpion quickly turned its head and used its tail to attack Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao dodged the attack with a swish and kept running around it. The Dark Nether Stinger stabbed at the Ice Scorpion from all directions. Its body was full of holes. Soon, it could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground. The ice on the ground melted into a pool of water. Zhang Yi walked over and carefully observed the ground. As expected, he saw a crystal the size of an egg, half white and half black. After putting the crystal into his pocket, he said to Xiaoxiao and Snowy, ¡°let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going back.¡± They called out twice and followed behind Zhang Yi, heading home together. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally reached the door of their house. Zhang Yi pushed it open and walked in. Zhang Ru was asleep on the sofa. The television was still playing the funny variety show that she loved to watch. Zhang Yi walked over, picked up Zhang Ru, placed her on the bed, and covered her with the blanket. He walked out and closed the door softly. He sat down on the sofa, picked up Snowy, and placed it on his lap. ¡°Snowy, quickly absorb this crystal,¡± Zhang Yi placed the crystal in front of Snowy and whispered to it. Snowy picked up the crystal with its claws, then closed its eyes and began to absorb the crystal. Just when Zhang Yi was about to fall asleep, Snowy finally finished absorbing the crystal. It opened its eyes and saw Zhang Yi who was already asleep. It reached out and patted Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Snowy. [Demon beast name: Three-tailed Ice Fox] [Level: Level 6] [Attributes: Ice/Poison] [Grade: High] [Status: Happy, hungry] [Weakness: Lightning] [Evolution requirement: ¡­] [Evolution path: ¡­] After seeing the data in his mind, Zhang Yi¡¯s sleepiness immediately disappeared, and he was pleasantly surprised. After Snowy absorbed the crystal, it immediately gained a poison attribute, and it had leveled up two levels in a row! Putting Snowy on the ground, he walked into the kitchen and said, ¡°wait, I¡¯ll cook something for you right now!¡±
