Chapter 22: Everyone Advances

"Ye Bai's Thousand Changes Silkworm has extremely strong defense. He passes this assessment."

"Next, who's coming?"

Many students rubbed their hands together, eager to try, and summoned their pet beasts one after another. They also wanted to show off in front of the crowd.

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

Among them were also uncommon ones like Little Poison Fangs and Glow Jellyfish.

Glow Jellyfish was a very rare pet beast. It had five tentacles, and its body could emit a strong light.

Moreover, depending on its mood, the color of its body would change.

When it was happy, it turned green, and it especially liked to sit on top of its pet beast master's head when in a good mood.

This had been made into a meme and posted online, jokingly referred to as "getting a free green hat."

And the pet beast master of this Glow Jellyfish was a cool, handsome hip-hop female student.

Rumor had it 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 lose to Ye Bai's pet beast."

One person raised his hand to signal. He wanted to show off his Chameleon Silkworm and establish himself as the top dog in the class.

He had done his research and knew that Ye Bai usually kept to himself and rarely participated in class activities.

So Ye Bai wouldn't compete with him for the position of class alpha.

"Alright, Wang Hu, come on up."

Wang Hu was a young man with a crew cut, looking honest with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

His Chameleon Silkworm's eyes gleamed with sharp light. Unlike Ye Bai's silly one that loved to scam food everywhere, this one gave off the vibe of a seasoned soldier.

Wang Hu's mouth curled up slightly, and he spoke loudly: "My name is Wang Hu, and my talent is the C-Rank Talent Defense Reinforcement, which can increase my pet beast's defense by several times."

"Go, Chameleon Silkworm, use Harden to boost your defense."

Streaks of white light appeared on the Chameleon Silkworm's body. Just as the reinforcement was about to complete, the white light intensified several times over.

This was Wang Hu's talent activating.

A pet beast master could amplify their pet beast through the contract.

The crowd nodded in approval. This guy seemed reliable.

He should be able to pass the assessment easily.

Zhang Lingxue raised an eyebrow. Oh ho, did this guy really think Vine Cat's attack would be easy to take?

The Defense Reinforcement talent only became useful at higher levels; the higher the level, the more obvious the reinforcement.

For a Small Fry like Wang Hu's Chameleon Silkworm, even stacking full reinforcement couldn't withstand a casual strike from Vine Cat.

That was the gap in levels.

"Vine Cat, Seed Sprinkle."

A flash of emerald green light passed by, and the once-confident Chameleon Silkworm's face showed a look of terror.

It was about to crack apart.

An attack of this magnitude—how could a little broken silkworm like it possibly withstand it?

Judging by the full, balanced, and surging energy radiating from that seed, it couldn't take it. It really couldn't take it. Your humble servant really can't take it!

Pet beast master, why are you setting me up!

Beads of sweat as big as beans broke out on the Chameleon Silkworm's forehead.

It was just 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, go for it! You can do it!"

Sweat poured profusely from the Chameleon Silkworm's forehead.

Its pupils dilated sharply.

Go for it my ass! Don't put me on the fire! Contracting with you is the worst luck of eight hundred lifetimes!

The Seed Sprinkle turned into a streak of light, and everyone's palms were sweating. From Wang Hu's confident expression, it seemed the Chameleon Silkworm should have no problem blocking this hit.

Little did they know, the light ball 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 high above like a tattered bag, rolling several times on the ground.

The Chameleon Silkworm was covered in dust, its body riddled with multiple wounds.

The entire venue fell silent.

Wang Defa.

This skill called Seed Sprinkle was this terrifying?

Then why did Ye Bai's pet beast catch it so easily?

At that moment, everyone suddenly realized that the Thousand Changes Silkworm's defense was far more formidable than they had imagined.

Zhang Lingxue said to Wang Hu, "Quickly withdraw your Chameleon Silkworm into the Pet Beast Space. The Pet Beast Space can help it recover rapidly."

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

Meanwhile, the Thousand Changes Silkworm sat beside Li Chen, munching on a carrot left and right.

Its face was brimming with happiness, practically overflowing.

The Thousand Changes Silkworm, which currently looked a bit shifty, seemed somewhat adorable in the eyes of the female classmates.

"Wang Hu, decent defense. Assessment passed."

Zhang Lingxue, looking a bit disinterested, ticked a box on the evaluation sheet.

Wang Hu walked down with a dark face, and as he passed by Ye Bai, he shot him a fierce glare.

Ye Bai knew Wang Hu had taken a grudge against him.

Wang Hu's Chameleon Silkworm, combined with his Defense Reinforcement talent, did have impressive defensive power.

But with the Thousand Changes Silkworm setting such a high bar, Wang Hu's Chameleon Silkworm was completely overshadowed.

Sure enough, in the following assessments, everyone's pet beasts sustained minor injuries.

Only the girl who had contracted the Glow Jellyfish and Li Chen's Boxing Rabbit managed to catch the attack.

This caught Ye Bai's attention.

Participating in the Phoenix Fledgling Cup required forming a team of three; relying on one person alone would be like trying to cross a river in a single boat.

So Ye Bai planned to pick his teammates.

"Alright, the assessment ends here."

"From now on, everyone must practice diligently when you go back."

"You need to handle the relationship between yourselves and your pet beasts well."

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

"Ye Bai, stay behind."

"Everyone else, dismissed."

Ye Bai was quite curious about what Zhang Lingxue wanted to discuss with him by keeping him here.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw his Thousand Changes Silkworm happily hopping away, following Li Chen without a care in the world.

Ye Bai's mouth twitched, and his fists involuntarily clenched.

"You little bastard, get back here, get back here right now!"

The Thousand Changes Silkworm ignored him completely, as if mesmerized, trotting along behind Li Chen with glee.

Ye Bai cracked his knuckles. It seemed he had to resort to his trump card.

A massive vortex appeared behind the Thousand Changes Silkworm. Just as it was hopping along, it suddenly felt an enormous suction force pulling from behind.

It looked back with tear-filled eyes at Li Chen's retreating figure, letting out a heart-wrenching cry.

It was the kind of sound that made listeners weep and bystanders mourn.

Like Romeo without Juliet.

Like salt soda without salt.

Ye Bai remained stone-faced, forcibly recalling the Thousand Changes Silkworm.

That creature was too wild by nature; give it an inch, and it would take a mile.

He had to teach it a harsh lesson.

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

"I need an extra pair of hands."

"I'd like you to come with me to the research institute and help out temporarily."

Ye Bai nodded. This was exactly the kind of opportunity he wanted to learn more about pet beast cultivation, to build up his confidence for the future Young Qilin Cup.

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