Exploding at the Drop of a Hat

The Miniature Ferocious Beast clearly did not think there was anything eye-searing about what it had done.

After a frenzied barrage of shots, it had somehow failed to harm the Poison Wolf in the slightest.

It immediately flew into a towering rage.

Without hesitation, it turned around.

The fur on its back held nothing back, every last strand transforming into tens of thousands of Golden Hair Needles that shot toward the Poison Wolf.

Clang, clang, clang...

The result was still completely ineffective.

Squeak, squeak...

The Miniature Ferocious Beast was utterly enraged.

With its bare butt exposed, it charged at the Poison Wolf. ✩

Its round, plump body climbed up one of the Poison Wolf's legs.

The Poison Wolf was getting impatient.

It shook its leg.

But to its surprise, it could not shake the little fellow off.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast was round like a meatball, yet it was not slow at all.

Before long, it had climbed all the way to the Poison Wolf's head.

Just as the Poison Wolf was considering how to dispose of this irritating little thing.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast suddenly leaped down from atop its head.

Then, its round body abruptly exploded.

Boom!

A deafening blast rang out.

After exploding, the Miniature Ferocious Beast's body actually produced terrifying force like a bomb.

Violent energy swept outward in all directions.

The Poison Wolf's left eye bore the brunt of it and was directly blown blind.

The entire left side of its face was also a bloody mess of mangled flesh.

Awoo...

The Poison Wolf roared in agony.

It wished it could grind the Miniature Ferocious Beast's bones to dust and scatter its ashes.

Unfortunately, the Miniature Ferocious Beast had already been blasted into powder, leaving it nowhere to vent its fury.

That only made it feel even worse.

In the distance, even Yi Chen's eyes flashed with surprise.

The viewers in the Live Stream Room were even more dumbfounded.

"My god, this little thing is amazing!"

"A level 14 Ferocious Beast against a level 4 Ferocious Beast, with a hundredfold gap in strength, actually capsized in a gutter and even had one eye blown out."

"Good heavens, I can only say, good heavens. This little fellow was so obedient and docile before Yi Chen, like a child bride. Who would have thought it had such a violent temper?"

"At the slightest disagreement, its fur exploded and it fired off every last hair. At another slightest disagreement, it even blew up its own body."

"From now on, I'll never say I'm so angry I could explode. This is what truly exploding from anger looks like, and it's incredibly powerful too. At level 4, it could even injure a level 14 Ferocious Beast."

"Just what is this little fellow? Normally, Ferocious Beasts mostly have only one ability."

"But look at this little fellow. It can absorb others' Spiritual Power, come back to life after dying, absorb Spiritual Energy to rapidly increase its strength, fire its fur like steel needles, and even turn itself into a bomb! How many abilities is that?"

"Invincible! As expected, being able to become Yi Chen's pet meant it was anything but ordinary."

Everyone kept exclaiming in amazement.

No one had expected this bizarre Miniature Ferocious Beast to possess two such strange attack methods.

On the grassland, after a brief moment of surprise, Yi Chen quickly regained his composure.

He pushed the Cloud Stepping Art to its limit.

His body rushed toward the Poison Wolf like lightning.

While the Poison Wolf was still roaring in pain, Thorn Fruits shot toward its destroyed left eye like bullets leaving a barrel.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

The Thorn Fruits drove straight through the wound in the Poison Wolf's left eye and entered its brain.

Awoo!

The Poison Wolf's howls grew even more shrill and miserable.

Its great maw opened, spraying streams of black mist in every direction.

Wherever the thick mist passed, the grass instantly withered and rotted, turning into pools of black poison.

However, such aimless attacks posed no threat whatsoever to Yi Chen.

The Thorn Fruits in his hand continued firing without pause, targeting the Poison Wolf's vital points.

In roughly a minute, the Poison Wolf could no longer hold on and crashed to the ground.

After twitching for a few seconds, it completely lost its life.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast's body suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Golden fur once again covered its entire body.

"Has its resurrection time shortened to around a minute?"

Yi Chen was somewhat surprised.

He remembered that when he had killed the Miniature Ferocious Beast those two times, it had taken more than ten minutes to revive.

Yet this time, it had taken only a little over a minute.

In other words, as its strength increased, this Miniature Ferocious Beast's resurrection time would shorten as well!

"This little fellow's usefulness seems to extend beyond merely researching the mysteries of life in the future."

Yi Chen clicked his tongue.

The power of its self-destruction alone was quite impressive.

Moreover, as the Miniature Ferocious Beast grew stronger, the power of its self-destruction could also increase.

Squeak, squeak...

The Miniature Ferocious Beast looked at the Poison Wolf, whose face and vital areas were covered in Thorn Fruits. Then it lowered its head and slunk over to Yi Chen.

"You did pretty well!"

Yi Chen smiled.

If the Miniature Ferocious Beast had not blown out the Poison Wolf's left eye, he could have slowly killed the Poison Wolf anyway, but he definitely could not have done so in such a short time.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast looked up at Yi Chen.

It did not understand what Yi Chen meant, but it understood the smile on his face.

In an instant, its sorrow turned to joy, and it began dancing with excitement.

"Let's go!"

Yi Chen turned and headed toward the Small Woods.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast followed. After hesitating for a few seconds, it climbed onto Yi Chen's right foot and began climbing upward.

"Getting an inch after taking a mile, are we?"

Yi Chen pulled the Miniature Ferocious Beast down from his head.

He had intended to throw it away.

But after thinking about it, he placed it on his shoulder instead.

"Starting today, I'll call you Little Golden Ball!"

Squeak, squeak...

Sitting on his shoulder, the Miniature Ferocious Beast happily swung its tiny legs.

"Amazing. The little fellow's status has soared! It actually qualifies to sit on Yi Chen's shoulder now."

"And Yi Chen even personally gave it a name."

"As expected, appearance is completely useless if you want to win Yi Chen's favor. Gu Li, a peerless beauty, threw herself into his arms and was decisively rejected. Cute and adorable Little Golden Ball was even killed twice in a row."

"Only after Little Golden Ball repeatedly displayed extraordinary abilities did Yi Chen's attitude gradually improve."

"Poor Little Golden Ball. It was the sort that blew up in anger at the slightest disagreement, yet before Yi Chen, it was as aggrieved as a little wife and did not dare show the slightest temper."

"Fortunately, the clouds finally parted to reveal the moon. I wonder what exactly on Yi Chen's body attracted it so much that it insisted on staying by his side no matter what."

"It should be Yi Chen's Spiritual Power. As for what use Yi Chen's Spiritual Power has for it, no one knows."

Someone could not help but dream aloud, "I really want a pet like Little Golden Ball!"

"Stop dreaming. Only Yi Chen deserves a bizarre and miraculous pet like this. Didn't you see that there are over a thousand members of the Flame Mountain Tribe, yet Little Golden Ball stubbornly latched onto Yi Chen?"

"It must be because Yi Chen's Spiritual Power is stronger and holds a special attraction for it. Just like Yi Chen's attitude toward Little Golden Ball, Little Golden Ball slowly earned a certain status through its own abilities."

"At the beginning, relationships have to be maintained through benefits. Both sides need to be valuable to each other. Only then can feelings gradually be cultivated later. Even if Little Golden Ball were given to you, it would never grow close to you."

"The funniest ones are those biologists who say Little Golden Ball is a waste of heaven's gifts by Yi Chen's side."

"With Little Golden Ball's habit of exploding at the slightest disagreement, would it cooperate with them in research even if they got it? It would be a miracle if it did not blow their brains out!"

The Live Stream Room was bustling with excitement.
