All Advance

Chapter 22

"Ye Bai's Thousand Changes Silkworm had extremely strong defense and passed this assessment."

"Who's next?"

The many students rubbed their hands together, eager to try. One after another, they summoned their pet beasts, all wanting to show off in front of everyone.

Most of the pet beasts summoned by the students present were things like Hedgehog Pigs, Boxing Rabbits, and Chameleon Silkworms.

There were also rarer ones, such as Little Poison Fang and Glow Jellyfish.

Glow Jellyfish were rare pet beasts. They had five tentacles, and their bodies could emit a brilliant light.

Moreover, their body color changed according to their mood.

When they were happy, they turned green, and when happy, they especially loved sitting on their Pet Beast Master's head.

People had even turned this into a joke online, teasing that one had happily acquired a green hat.

Yet this Glow Jellyfish's Pet Beast Master was a cool, handsome-looking hip-hop girl.

It was said that she had just transferred to Sacred Mountain Middle School from another school.

"Teacher, let me go first."

"My Chameleon Silkworm's defense is also quite astonishing."

"It won't be worse than Ye Bai's pet beast."

Someone raised his hand. He wanted to show off his Chameleon Silkworm and establish his position as the number one guy in the class.

After looking into things, he knew that Ye Bai usually kept to himself and rarely participated in class activities.

Therefore, Ye Bai would not compete with him for the position of class leader.

"Sure. Wang Hu, come up."

Wang Hu was a young man with a crew cut. He looked broad-browed and bright-eyed.

A sharp gleam appeared in his Chameleon Silkworm's eyes. Unlike Ye Bai's fool of a Thousand Changes Silkworm that loved scamming food and drinks everywhere, this one looked like a seasoned elite.

Wang Hu's lips curved slightly upward as he announced loudly, "My name is Wang Hu. My talent is the C-Rank Talent Defense Reinforcement, which can multiply a pet beast's defense several times over."

"Go, Chameleon Silkworm. Use Harden and strengthen your defense."

Streaks of white light appeared across the Chameleon Silkworm's body. Just as the strengthening was about to finish, the white light suddenly intensified severalfold.

Wang Hu's talent had activated.

Pet Beast Masters could amplify their pet beasts through their contracts.

Everyone nodded in succession. This guy seemed reliable.

He would probably pass the assessment without any trouble.

Zhang Lingxue raised an eyebrow. Oh? Did this guy really think Vine Cat's attack was so easy to withstand?

A talent like Defense Reinforcement needed a high level to be useful. The higher the level, the more obvious the enhancement.

A little Kalami like Wang Hu's Chameleon Silkworm could not withstand Vine Cat's casual strike even if its enhancements were stacked to the limit.

That was the difference in level.

"Vine Cat, Seed Sprinkle."

A flash of emerald light passed by, and a terrified expression appeared on the formerly confident Chameleon Silkworm's face.

It was about to crack apart.

How could a tiny lousy silkworm like it possibly withstand an attack of this level?

Judging from the full, even, and vast energy radiating from that seed, it could not take it. It really could not take it! This humble one truly could not take it!

Pet Beast Master, why were you trying to kill me?!

Beads of sweat the size of beans emerged on the Chameleon Silkworm's forehead.

It was only a baby. Why did it have to bear the weight of life?

At this moment, Wang Hu was still cheering it on from the side.

"Chameleon Silkworm, keep it up! You can do it!"

Large amounts of sweat seeped from the Chameleon Silkworm's forehead.

Its pupils rapidly dilated.

Keep it up my ass! Don't roast me over the fire! Contracting with a guy like you was eight hundred lifetimes' worth of bad luck!

Seed Sprinkle turned into a streak of light, and everyone clenched their hands in sweat. From Wang Hu's utterly confident demeanor, the Chameleon Silkworm should have had no problem blocking this strike.

Little did they know, the ball of light struck the Chameleon Silkworm.

With a bang, the Chameleon Silkworm's body traced a perfect parabola through the air like a baseball.

It fell from the sky like a tattered sack, then rolled across the ground several times.

The Chameleon Silkworm was covered in dust, with wounds scattered all over its body.

The entire venue fell silent.

Wang Defa.

This skill called Seed Sprinkle was that terrifying?

Then why had Ye Bai's pet beast taken it so easily?

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the Thousand Changes Silkworm's defense was even stronger than they had imagined.

Zhang Lingxue said to Wang Hu, "Quick, put your Chameleon Silkworm into the Pet Beast Space. The Pet Beast Space can help it recover quickly."

Wang Hu waved his hand, and a vortex appeared on the ground, taking the Chameleon Silkworm back inside.

At this moment, the Thousand Changes Silkworm was sitting beside Li Chen, taking bite after bite of carrots.

Its face was overflowing with happiness, as though it might spill out at any moment.

The somewhat wretched-looking Thousand Changes Silkworm now seemed rather cute in the eyes of the female students.

"Wang Hu, not bad defense. You passed the assessment."

Zhang Lingxue checked off a box on the assessment sheet, clearly rather uninterested.

Wang Hu walked down with a dark expression. As he passed Ye Bai, he shot him a vicious glare.

Ye Bai knew that Wang Hu now hated him.

Wang Hu's Chameleon Silkworm and his Defense Reinforcement talent did indeed provide quite decent defense when combined.

But with the Thousand Changes Silkworm as a pearl before them, Wang Hu's Chameleon Silkworm had been thoroughly outshone.

Sure enough, during the assessments that followed, everyone's pet beasts suffered minor injuries.

Only the girl contracted with the Glow Jellyfish and Li Chen's Boxing Rabbit managed to block the attack.

This caught Ye Bai's attention.

The Phoenix Fledgling Cup required a team of three. Relying on one person alone, it would be impossible to cross a river in a solitary boat.

So Ye Bai planned to choose his teammates.

"Alright, the assessment ends here."

"After you return, make sure to train diligently."

"You must properly manage the relationship between yourselves and your pet beasts."

"Pet beasts are our friends, not our enemies."

"Ye Bai, stay behind."

"Everyone else, dismissed."

Ye Bai was quite curious about why Zhang Lingxue wanted him to stay.

But from the corner of his eye, he saw his Thousand Changes Silkworm hopping around in delight as it followed Li Chen away.

Ye Bai's mouth twitched, and his fists could not help hardening.

"You bastard, get back here! Get back here!"

The Thousand Changes Silkworm turned a deaf ear, following behind as though possessed, trotting along eagerly.

Ye Bai flexed his fingers. It seemed he had no choice but to use his trump card.

A huge vortex appeared behind the Thousand Changes Silkworm. As it hopped along, it suddenly felt a tremendous suction force coming from behind.

With tears in its eyes, it watched Li Chen's departing back and let out a heart-rending cry.

It was enough to make listeners weep and hearers grieve.

Like Romeo without Juliet.

Like salt soda without salt.

Ye Bai's face remained calm as he forcibly summoned the Thousand Changes Silkworm back.

This Thousand Changes Silkworm had run wild for too long; give it a pole, and it would climb right up it.

It had to be taught a profound lesson.

"Ye Bai, I've recently been conducting a Reproducibility Experiment on Chameleon Silkworms."

"I need someone to help me."

"I hope you can come with me to the research institute and assist me for the time being."

Ye Bai nodded. He had been hoping to use this opportunity to learn about pet beast cultivation, adding another measure of confidence for the future Young Qilin Cup.

Without further delay, Zhang Lingxue took Ye Bai to her research institute.
