A rich fragrance wafted from the backpack. Boxing Rabbit's nose twitched as it sniffed the pleasant scent, and the exhaustion of the past several days was swept away.
"When I'm unhappy, I like to eat. Eating makes me forget all my worries."
"I know you were abandoned, and you're unwilling to accept it, but you shouldn't hurt your body either. You should stand before him again and defeat his next pet beast in public."
"Make him feel that abandoning you was a choice he would regret for the rest of his life."
"That's the real way to slap him hard across the face. Don't you think that would be more interesting?"
Those words were like a beam of light tearing through the unending darkness, shining into Boxing Rabbit's parched heart.
Yeah, why should it fight over this last shred of pride and hurt its own body?
Its body was its own. Damaging it too much would harm its foundation.
That ran completely counter to the martial path it had wanted to pursue from the very beginning.
Maybe the person who had abandoned it was secretly laughing at how foolish it was for living so miserably.
No, I have to pull myself together, nurse my body back to health, and then use these iron fists to defeat my opponent myself.
Boxing Rabbit raised its fist, and a gray metallic gleam flashed past.
If Ye Bai had been present, he would have discovered that besides Berserk, Boxing Rabbit had also mastered the skill Iron Fist.
After the knot in Boxing Rabbit's heart was untied, a long-lost smile appeared on its face.
Grrr, grrr.
Only then did Boxing Rabbit realize that it had not eaten for a long time. It opened its backpack, picked up a fine-looking Ruby Carrot, and began devouring it. It ate so quickly that it choked.
Its face instantly turned red.
"Try this—Golden Coconut Water."
Li Chen took out a gold-trimmed bottle from his spatial Bracelet. It was filled with crystal-clear liquid.
Seeing the interaction between the boy and the pet beast, Li Defu wore a gratified smile.
"Master, this Boxing Rabbit was abandoned not long ago."
"It must have suffered severe psychological trauma."
"Should we suggest that Young Master choose another one?"
The Butler at the side spoke with some concern.
Li Defu shook his head. "No need. It's this one. This is the first time I've seen such a gentle smile on Li Chen's face."
"Anyone who could abandon such a fine pet beast has something wrong with their eyesight."
Thus, Li Chen contracted Boxing Rabbit and became its Pet Beast Master.
Li Chen's awakened Talent was called Fearless. It sounded rather grand, but it was not very useful.
Fearless simply meant having a lot of courage.
However, according to current scientific research, this Talent could only be applied to oneself.
In other words, only he could use this Fearless Aura. Not even his pet beast could share his Talent.
Thus, this Talent was rated E-Rank, one order lower than Ye Bai's Eidetic Memory.
That was the end of the sighing. It could only be said that Boxing Rabbit and Li Chen were an exceptionally good match.
Zhang Lingxue summoned a Second Order Vine Cat.
This kind of pet beast had a ring of vines around its neck, with white flowers blooming from the vines. From afar, they looked like a lion's mane.
Its two large eyes were as clear and bright as the finest emeralds.
"This is the pet beast I just raised, Vine Cat."
"It's a Second Order pet beast, but don't worry, I won't let it attack you with its full strength."
Vine Cat looked very well-behaved as it licked its Claw on the ground.
Then, its Claw scratched line after line into the floor. It was clear that its claws were extremely sharp.
If they landed on Thousand Changes Silkworm, they might leave a deep wound.
"Vine Cat is so cute!"
Girls naturally loved fluffy things like this. They had no resistance whatsoever to cuteness.
"Vine Cats are very rare. Where did Teacher Zhang tame one?"
"The research institute above probably gave it to her."
"After all, Teacher Zhang discovered Li Weiyang's Talent. There's a high chance she received this Vine Cat as a reward."
Zhang Lingxue was currently a Third Order Pet Beast Master and could generally contract three pet beasts.
"Compared to Vine Cat's cuteness, Ye Bai's Thousand Changes Silkworm is much more sleazy. It feels really vulgar." Someone among the girls suddenly spoke up, turning everyone's attention toward Ye Bai's pet beast.
"Yeah, wasn't Ye Bai choosing this Thousand Changes Silkworm just destroying his own image? It drools and smacks its lips—it's disgusting enough." A girl beside her said.
"I couldn't stand having a pet beast like that in my hands. I'd be utterly devastated." Another girl added.
The thick-skinned Thousand Changes Silkworm did not take in a single word.
It rubbed its half-full belly with its tongue, planning to end the battle quickly.
Thousand Changes Silkworm was afraid that if this dragged on too long, Li Chen would finish all the carrots in his hand, and it would cry itself to death.
It raised eyes as large as bronze bells and fixed Vine Cat with a fierce glare.
Burn, my little universe!
It was this guy right in front of it that had interrupted its meal. Otherwise, it could have begged Li Chen for a few more carrots on Feilu.
Although Thousand Changes Silkworm did not know how much those carrots cost, it knew they were not cheap.
With a Pet Beast Master's current wealth, he probably could not afford many carrots.
Those who block me from eating shall die!
The soul of a rice-devouring warrior had awakened!
The aura around Thousand Changes Silkworm rose without limit, and Vine Cat felt two blade-like glares stabbing straight into its body.
It could not help swallowing. It was a Second Order pet beast, yet it had been frightened by the aura of a First Order little nobody. That was a little too much.
Zhang Lingxue saw that Vine Cat had been suppressed by Thousand Changes Silkworm in terms of aura, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Could this be Thousand Changes Silkworm's hidden ability?
"Vine Cat, use Seed Sprinkle."
"Test Thousand Changes Silkworm's defense."
This battle was also a good opportunity for Zhang Lingxue to test Thousand Changes Silkworm's physical data.
She wanted to figure out the difference between Thousand Changes Silkworm and Chameleon Silkworm.
Vine Cat opened its pitch-black mouth and sprayed a green seed from within.
The seed was incredibly fast. Before Thousand Changes Silkworm could react, it struck Thousand Changes Silkworm.
With a clang, just as everyone thought Thousand Changes Silkworm was about to be defeated, Thousand Changes Silkworm scratched the spot hit by Seed Sprinkle with its tongue. There was not even the slightest white mark left behind.
It had secretly broken out in a cold sweat just now. That move looked powerful and imposing, but that was it? It was like a mosquito giving it a light bite.
No, its whole body was itching terribly. It wanted to scratch itself.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Thousand Changes Silkworm lay on the ground and rubbed its back against the floor, a comfortable expression appearing on its face.
The rebounded seed was embedded deeply in the wall, and a wisp of white smoke rose from it.
Everyone looked utterly incredulous. Was this a joke? This pet beast's defense was that strong?
What kind of move was it using by lying on the ground and rubbing its back?
Could it be using this move to deepen its defense?
After hearing the discussions among his classmates, Ye Bai silently pressed a hand to his forehead. Over the past few days, he had already learned Thousand Changes Silkworm's true nature.
Can I tell you that Thousand Changes Silkworm simply wants to scratch an itch?
Then would I have any face left? Would I still be able to survive at Shenshan No. 1 High School?
