Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 143 – Chance to Reorganize Language

On the cub's side, Zhao Li and Wang Li told their pets to move forward and directly attack it.

The Flame Crow's jet flame directly burned the vines in front of them. Even though these vines were very sturdy, they could not withstand the natural restraint of fire attacks.

Once the vines were cleared, the Flame Crow and Thunder Fish flew into the sky to occupy a favorable position.

The cub directly launched an attack under Su Bai's order. Instead of waiting for them to attack itself first, it would take preemptive strikes.

However, it did not attack directly at the first chance and used Falling Leaves skill, instead.

As soon as this skill was released, all thorny leaves, including some surrounding flowers, trees, and leaves, turned yellow and fell to the ground.

The moment the leaves fell, the cub launched its Grass Sword Storm skill. The thorns and other various leaves were all wrapped in spiritual power and turned into a sharp sword. The leaves gathered to form a huge storm which charged at the Flame Crow and the Thunder Fish.

However, the Flame Crow was not afraid of this attack. It directly spit flames so that these leaves turned into ashes before they could even fly over.

Even while wrapped in spiritual power, these leaves still turned into ashes in the face of hot flames and only a few grass swords managed to hit the two pets.

Unfortunately, the damage inflicted was negligible as the Grass Sword Storm skill was naturally restrained by the fire attribute.

With the Flame Crow shooting down the Grass Sword Storm, the Thunder Fish began attacking the cub.

As lightning struck the cub, its wooden shield gradually weakened until it could not block the attack anymore.

It did not matter, though, as the dino had rushed over at this time after dealing with the Diving Crocodile and the Lava Salamander.

“Roar!”

It let out a violent roar and fired a few fireballs toward the opponents.

Having witnessed the power of the fireballs, Zhao Li and the others dared not to look down on the Blighted Fireball. Wang Li hurriedly shouted, “Thunder Fish, turn around and deal with the Little Tyrant!”

The Thunder Fish turned around and a bolt of lightning directly collided with the Blighted Fireball in mid-air, sending a series of fiery red explosions which looked extremely gorgeous.

It was not afraid to deal with the dino of the same level, and it also had the advantage of flight. The Thunder Fish opened its mouth and launched several lightning attacks at the dino. As long as the Little Tyrant was hit by its lightning strike and entered a paralyzed state, the Thunder Fish would have an opportunity to attack.

However, under attack, the Little Tyrant suddenly roared and unleashed a fiery red domain of more than thirty meters wide. Lava spewed out of the ground and fiery purgatory winds blew in the sky.

“Another domain!” Wang Li was surprised. The domain also had the effect of air superiority, for even if the Thunder Fish was flying in the air, it would still be hurt by the fiery red purgatory winds.

This meant that the Thunder Fish could only attack from a long distance and was not put in a good advantage.

“Just trap him and make sure he doesn't go back for support. Of course, it'll be even better if you can hit him,” Wang Li instructed. If the Little Tyrant was unable to come over to support the cub, then victory belonged to the Flame Crow.

Fire attribute heavily restrained wood attribute, and on top of that, the Flame Crow was a flying pet battling against a non-flying pet. Under double restraint, even a higher-level pet could not win.

The cub did not change its strategy and kept attacking the Flame Crow with Grass Sword Storm.

“It's useless. You can't exhaust my pet's energy like this. You should know when to stop.” Zhao Li shook his head.

Su Bai ignored him with a solemn expression on his face.

Another Grass Sword Storm ended after consuming much of the cub's spiritual power. This skill had high damage output which naturally consumed a lot of energy.

The cub stopped and activated its Ultimate Absorption skill, preparing to restore its spiritual power.

Zhao Li had been waiting for this exact moment. After giving the Flame Crow an order, it swooped down directly, release spit fiery red spiritual power. It had to defeat the cub with a single attack sans giving it a chance to defend or escape.

At this moment, Su Bai summoned the contract book and released a cute and sly white fox.

The baby fox landed on the ground and was not the least bit confused. It looked at the Flame Crow with charming eyes and directly hit it with an Illusion Hypnotism.

The Flame Crow suddenly felt very sleepy and looked drowsily to see a hundred Purple Jades. Under the dual effect, it directly fell unconscious.

“You… deliberately exposed the cub's flaw?” Zhao Li asked bitterly. “I lost because I only have one pet.”

“We surrender. Our number tags are yours.” Wang Li also spread her hands helplessly.

“Wasn't your baby fox a low-level servant pet before? How did it advance to a high-level servant grade so fast? It seems to have evolved as well; how did you do it?” Zhao Li complained. He knew that Su Bai had another pet, but because its level was too low, he was not concerned about it.

“I'll tell you next time. I have to go over and help.”

Su Bai chuckled.

The Mewling Fox had been learning from a sovereign pet, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox. Combined with a steady supply of resources, it was not far from advancing to a warlord grade. For example, that Illusion Hypnotism moments ago, which was much more powerful than pure hypnosis, was taught by the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.

More importantly, the Mewling Fox had almost understood the profound meaning of fantasy, which was a terrifying thing.

On Chen Ruoxue's side, Li Xing and Li Hai's Triangle Starfish were the fastest to be killed as they simply could not resist Big Demon's combo attacks.

Both Wang Tao and Wang Er had been beaten by Big Demon's poison before and had developed countermeasures.

Wang Er's Electric Python learned a new skill called the Dragon Scale Shield, which could prevent it from being controlled.

Wang Tao's Bone Praying Mantis learned a skill called Shadowless, which could temporarily get rid of its own shadow. Big Demon did not use its Hidden Shadow skill and was countered by the two opponents.

Su Bai quickly brought his two pets over to provide support, and the two immediately panicked. Wang Er directly raised his hand and said, “I surrender; you can have all my number tags.”

Wang Tao was reluctant to part with the number tags and cursed loudly, “You're despicable! Fight me one-on-one if you really have the ability.”

Su Bai chuckled. “Young man, no one cares about fighting one-on-one in the wilderness. Jade, Tyrant, go and hammer that mantis's head.”

“Hey, I already f*cking conceded! D*mn it! I surrender.”

Furious to lose his number tags, Wang Tao cursed.

“Don't go. We still want to do a body search in case you're secretly hiding some.”

Su Bai stopped him from leaving.

“Don't go overboard!” Wang Tao huffed in anger.

However, he remained on the spot, not daring to move when he spotted the Little Tyrant staring at him with a giant golden hammer in its claws.

After searching the two of them, more than 5,800 number tags, and over three hundred hidden number tags, were taken. In total, Su Bai obtained 6,125 number tags.

The total number of participants in the five schools was less than 8,000. More than 6,000 number tags meant that Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue had ranked first and second.

“I'll distribute 100 tags among the five of you. Please don't hold it against me; this is an assessment, after all.”

Su Bai took out a few tags and handed 20 each to Zhao Li, Zhao Li, Li Hai, Li Xing, and Wang Er.

Taking advantage of their dazed situation, the two held their hands together and said, “Goodbye, then. See you again.”

They quickly ran away.

There were no rules here, so it would be allowed even if six thousand people hit one person as long as no one was killed.

With so many number tags in their hands, a dozen people or so would surely surround them if they did not run away quickly. They did not have the confidence of defeating so many people.

However, the group of people were still in a dazed state. They could not understand why Su Bai already had three pets, one stronger than the other, when they were all only sixteen-year-old Pet Tamers.

On the flying mount, the teachers were also stunned speechless. They swallowed their saliva incessantly and could not find the right words.

Finally, the First Middle School's teacher exclaimed, “Principal Qian, I take back what I said moments ago. Those two are true geniuses!”

“They're too powerful; I don't think I can even defeat him,” said the Third Middle School's teacher, shaking his head.

“Sigh. Fourth Middle School is so lucky to have two geniuses. I also take back what I said earlier.” The teacher from Tenth Middle School sighed. Why were such good students not in their school?

Iron Second Middle School's teacher remained silent. D*mn it! If Fourth Middle School was not last place this time, then it would be their school's turn. It was too painful.

“Hahahaha! It's nothing. We were just lucky to have those two geniuses. Sigh. They're indeed a little wild; I'll have to scold them later and tell them not to be so high-profile next time.”

Principal Qian rubbed his bald head and laughed loudly. For many years, he had been unable to relieve his anger.

On the ground, the group of onlookers returned to their senses but still could not understand why Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue were so strong.

“I see! They're afraid that we'll join hands and attack them both. No matter how strong they are, they can't beat all of us at once.”

“Does anyone want to form a group to catch that couple? If we succeed, we'll split the number tags equally.”

“I want to join! I must take revenge; he can't live under the same sky with me!”

“Include me, too. Let's defeat the demon king!”

In an instant, a group of thirty to forty people madly searched for Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue in the wilderness.

This kickstarted the others who had also been defeated by the two demon kings to form their own groups and search high and low for the two.

Those who had never been defeated by them before also formed a group to search for their number tags.

However, even with half the people forming groups, they still could not find Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue. The two seemed to have vanished out of thin air.

October 30 arrived as promised, and they must return to the meeting area to hand in their harvest at 10 a.m.

At 10 a.m. on the dot, the protective shield over the exam field vanished. Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue finally rushed out.

“F*ck! We're finally safe.”

Su Bai panted.

“They must be crazy. We're just completing the assessment as per normal. They're messing around like this.”

Chen Ruoxue also exhaled deeply.

If it had not been for the Little Tyrant and Big Demon's concealment skills, they would have long been found.

“Okay, hurry up and hand in your harvest.”

The teacher on the stage could not stand it anymore. They had obviously harmed their fellow pupils first and were in no place to complain about others.

“Okay.”

Su Bai nodded and walked onto the podium to hand in his number tags.

The tags were not big, so even 3,000 of them were not heavy.

After handing them in, the teacher poured the number tags out. A pet on the side unleashed a wave of spiritual power to clean the tags before putting them on the weighing scale.

Every tag weighed the same mass, so the quantity could be calculated easily by the total weight.

“Su Bai has 3,025 number tags. Chen Ruoxue has 3,000.”

The teacher reported the weight and let the other teacher at the side note this on her computer.

This prevented cheating as every instructor from each school was present. Electromagnetic satellite monsters were also taking records.

“Good job! Quickly rest in the lounge.” Principal Qian smiled and nodded at them.

Although this guy was quite bold in asking for treasures, the sight of him fulfilling his promise was very satisfying.

“I'll bring you both to the lounge at the back. Once everyone has submitted their tags, we can return to school.”

Wang Wenyi smiled very gently at them.

The two not only brought the school glory but also gave her face, and her status in school would surely rise following this.

After all, she had been responsible for cultivating them since first grade.

Su Bai nodded and followed Wang Wenyi to the lounge at the back.

“Okay, you two can tell me where you've been for the past month.” Wang Wenyi smiled.

“We're in the assessment area, but it's useless to fight at the beginning, so we just walked on the edges.” Su Bai explained.

“Yes, we waited for the last three days and passed the time by reading books. We're preparing for the professional Pet Tamer licensure exam, so we were memorizing lots of information.”

Chen Ruoxue also nodde. She even took out a few books from her backpack to show Wang Wenyi.

“Alright. You two are so hardworking. No wonder you have achieved so much.”

Upon seeing this, the doubts in Wang Wenyi's heart were resolved. She also knew that they originally did not want to participate in this assessment.

It was obvious from today's battle that this assessment was not much of a challenge to them.

By winning two-on-eight, they had proven their rich experience in combat, or else it could not have been possible.

“You should've been pursued by others these past few days and haven't eaten well. I prepared some fruits and desserts for you.”

Wang Wenyi smiled and took out a box of fruits and desserts for them.

“Thank you, teacher.”

They quickly accepted it.

“Haha! Go ahead and eat; I'll pick up the other students. Otherwise, they'll be lost.”

Wang Wenyi smiled and spread her hands. After she left, Chen Ruoxue ate some grapes and smiled at Su Bai. “You don't even bat an eyelid when you lie. Do you do it often?”

“How could it be? I'm very honest. Have you seen me lying to you?”

Su Bai puffed his chest and held his head high.

“Hmph! Forget it. I've already been cheated by you. So be it; I don't care.” Chen Ruoxue popped a grape into her mouth and shrugged.

“Hey, what do you mean I cheated you? Someone obviously forced me to confess,” Su Bai grumbled in dissatisfaction.

In the next moment, Chen Ruoxue's big eyes appeared in front of his face as she glared at him. “I'll give you another chance to rearrange your words!”

She smiled like a blooming rose.

“Haha! Actually, I had a crush on that person for a very long time but never dared to confess. I took that opportunity to confess and won over a goddess girlfriend; I'm so lucky.”

Su Bai quickly changed his tune after feeling her pressuring stare.

“Yes, that's more like it.” Chen Ruoxue nodded, satisfied.
