Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 204 – Blue Sea Kraken's Evolution, Birth of Blood Moon Divine Skills

“Room 111. What an inauspicious number,” Su Bai looked at his room number in this dormitory and complained.

He opened the door and entered the empty four-person room.

The room had complete facilities, such as an aircon, a heater, and a washing machine.

Because it was a room for Pet Tamers, the size was much larger after considering the pets. This four-person room was one hundred square meters, which was much larger than the average rooms in other dormitories.

In fact, there were one- and two-person rooms available, but because he would mostly be staying outside campus, he had chosen a four-person room at random.

His bed, with a table underneath, was the one on the left and near the window.

“Howl.” Ah Bai, your room is so small. There's no sofa or cat climbing frame. The most important thing is that you have to live with three other people.”

The cub jumped on the bed and sent out a wave of spiritual energy to collect all the dust before throwing it into the trash can. It then gracefully squatted on the table and looked up at him.

Accustomed to living in a big house, it was full of complaints now.

“Quack.” It's not safe to live with strangers. I read about many cases of roommates getting poisoned, with some even getting killed in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. It's too unsafe. I don't want you to die.

The phoenix looked around as it spoke. Plus, this place is difficult to flee from; it's truly not safe.

Su Bai: “…”

Since you want to stay here, let me help you clean up. The cub blinked and then jumped on Su Bai's shoulder first before going back to the bed. It then sent out a spiritual force to remove the dust on the bed.

“Howl!” Give me the quilt, and I'll make the bed for you!

It motioned to him.

Su Bai handed the quilt to it. He watched as the cub busied itself, wondering what it was trying to do.

Ten minutes later, Purple Jade finished making the bed by itself, and afterward, it nodded in satisfaction and returned to the table.

It took out two flower pots, as well as some spiritual soil and seeds, from the space pendant on its neck.

It put the spiritual soil into the flowerpots and lifted a paw to press a seed in each.

After pouring some spiritual water in, it unleashed an emerald green energy. The seeds in the two flowerpots took roots and germinated at once, turning into dense plants.

Su Bai took a look, one was Red Sandalwood and the other was a Clivia.

The cub placed the flowerpots on the bookshelf in front of the desk and nodded in satisfaction. Okay, it's fine now. These two can relax you and give your roommates a beautiful sight to look at.

“Thank you.” Although Su Bai felt that it was unnecessary, he was still very moved. Purple Jade was still Purple Jade, after all.

“How many things are hidden in your space pendant?” he asked curiously, feeling curious about this.

This is a secret. The cub quickly covered its pendant.

“Don't worry; I was just asking.”

Su Bai touched its head and put it on his shoulder. “Let's go find Ruoxue, then we can go to the school cafeteria for lunch. It should have a lot of food for you.”

The cub shrank its body so that it could stand on his shoulder.

After leaving the dormitory building, Su Bai looked for the location of the canteen and went over. Chen Ruoxue said that she would be waiting there for him.

The moment he arrived at the entrance of the canteen, he spotted his girlfriend. There was a tall senior next to her, who seemed to be talking to her with a flyer in his hand.

Su Bai did not care and walked over. Chen Ruoxue saw him and quickly walked over to cling on to him. She turned and said to the person. “Sorry, senior, I'm having lunch with my boyfriend. I've already joined the Imperial Dragon Club; I'm really not interested in your Gorgeous Pet Club.”

“Oh, alright.” The senior awkwardly looked at her holding Su Bai's arm.

“What a big loss for me.” The young man patted his thigh and groaned. He had spent half of his morning trying to court a girl in vain. Who would have thought that a junior who had just entered school today actually had a boyfriend already?

He took a deep breath and decided to find another target. He must find a girlfriend this year.

“You joined the Imperial Dragon Club?” Su Bai asked as they walked. As for the senior earlier, he only casually asked and then put it to the back of his mind.

“Yeah, many clubs tried scouting me. I joined the Imperial Dragon Club after checking each. The requirements for entering that club are quite high; only dragons beyond sub-dragons can join,” explained Chen Rouxue.

“I chose to join the Imperial Beast Club; it's pretty good, too.” He nodded in acknowledgment.

The two walked into the cafeteria while they chatted.

“Let's not go home tonight; wait until the school's affairs are handled before leaving.” She said to him when they were eating.

“Okay, I actually prefer to sleep at home.” Su Bai laughed.

“Then you can sleep at home tonight. There's nothing to do in the afternoon, anyway. Activities such as book publishing will probably be held tomorrow. Not many people came to school today, after all,” Chen Ruoxue thought about it and suggested.

“Howl!” Let's go home to sleep; Ah Bai's dorm room is too small!

Purple Jade finished eating what was in the bowl and raised its head to chip in.

After they had their lunch, the two took a walk around the campus, but the school was too big for them to finish exploring.

However, their college life had just started. The future was still hazy, and they were unable to see it clearly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day, and their classmates came to report, too.

Su Bai, who was currently sitting in a chair in the dorm room, slowly fed the cub with the small fish-shaped energy medicinal cake in his hand.

The cub was squatting on the table, enjoying his feeding. From time to time, Su Bai's fingers would touch its chin; it felt so comfortable it closed its eyes and purred.

After the cub left the Kraken's nest, it had not changed into Limitless Beauty even once. It only followed its owner with the appearance of a cat.

The phoenix also stayed at his left hand in the appearance of a duck, quietly spitting spiritual energy; at the same time, it was on constant guard against any potential situation cropping up in the dormitory.

Suddenly, the phoenix opened its eyes and stared at someone who wanted to touch it.

“What are you doing?” Su Bai looked up at the yellow-haired young man.

This guy was called Lu Shuang, the roommate in the bed opposite of his; he had been staring at Ice Phoenix since he came in.

“Haha! I have no malice; I just wanna touch it. Your pet is of the ice type, right? It gives me a very special feeling; can you tell me what kind of pet it is?” Lu Shuang touched his head as he asked with a smile.

He was an ice-based Pet Tamer. After seeing the phoenix, he thought that it looked very special, but the phoenix had a master, and he could not use the illustration machine to detect it, so he felt very curious.

“It's just a duck; I picked it up casually,” said Su Bai with a shrug.

“Hehe! Don't fool me. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask anymore. If there's a chance to breed with my ice ghost, I'll pay the price for it,” said Lu Shuang with a smile.

“It's still small; let's talk about it later.” Su Bai did not agree.

“Haha! That's fine.” Lu Shuang laughed. He was not annoyed and only sat on the bench looking at the phoenix.

The phoenix stared at him, wanting to kill this guy and relieve this threat.

With his curiosity, as long as it pretended to be close to him, it could then poison him. It felt that the success rate of this plan was very high.

At this time, Su Bai gave it a look to indicate that the phoenix was not allowed to move rashly. The Ice Phoenix squinted its eyes and nodded.

Purple Jade rolled its eyes, feeling a little unhappy about being ignored. It opened its mouth and licked his finger.

Su Bai: “…”

At this time, the other two roommates in the dormitory also arrived. The two smiled, said hello, and began to make their beds.

Neither person was followed by a pet, and it was difficult to judge their specific strength.

“Since everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves.” When the two roommates finished making their beds, Lu Shuang smiled.

He introduced himself first. “My name is Lu Shuang. My first pet is of the ice attribute, and I scored 947 in my college entrance examination.”

He released his pet, a humanoid demon with horns. It was 1.5 meters tall and exuded an extremely cold aura.

“My name is Liu Yong. My first pet is of the dark attribute. I scored 912 in the college entrance examination,” said the young man next to Su Bai, his bed was near the door. He was tall and thin, with ear studs and a pair of peasy shoes on his feet.

The pet he released was a Dark Praying Mantis with a height of more than three meters and a domineering side aura. It had six wings on its back, and its blade shone with gloomy light, making it look extremely handsome.

“My name is Feng Ming. My first pet is of the fire attribute; it's a mutant fire god butterfly. My college entrance examination score was 905.”

Feng Ming spoke elegantly, and he felt like a young master. The pet he released was a purple Vulcan Butterfly.

Obviously, his Vulcan Butterfly did not have the shortcomings of most Vulcan Butterflies. It was also a heterochromatic pet and was very beautiful.

“I'm Su Bai. My initial pet has a wood attribute. It's this little cutie by my hand.” He pointed to the cub, which was currently biting his finger.

Noting the gazes of the others, the cub raised its head proudly.

The three showed doubtful glances at Purple Jade, unable to tell what body it was.

“Wood attribute pets aren't bad. If we get into trouble next time, you'll be responsible for treating us. We have three guarantees and one link-up; we can definitely fight until the sky is dark as long as we have someone to treat us.” Liu Yong smiled and kept his mantis.

“Yes, it's well known that the support is the core of the team.” Feng Ming also smiled.

“Haha! I'm happy to serve you. My cub's healing ability is beyond doubt,” said Su Bai with a smile.

“How much did you score in the college entrance examination? We all said ours; shouldn't you tell us yours, too?” Lu Shuang glanced at Su Bai and then led the topic back.

The reason why he himself introduced the results was to find out how high Su Bai scored; he naturally did not want to end it like this.

“Su Bai should've gotten a perfect score. He is one of the five national top scorers and also won the championship of the National League Tournament.”

Feng Ming put away his Vulcan Butterfly, glanced at Su Bai, and smiled.

“What! Did you just say that he's that Su Bai of the team who won the National League Tournament?”

Liu Yong was shocked, quickly turned on his phone, and searched for it.

Without saying anything, Lu Shuang took out his mobile phone to search.

“F*ck! It's really the big boss himself; he looks exactly the same. Big brother, please accept my kowtow. You have a commander and a monarch; I'm full of admiration.”

Liu Yong cursed, feeling shocked beyond words. This kind of formidable man was actually sharing a dorm room with him.

“It's said that Heavenly Abyss University is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I finally understand what that means today. A great god is actually sharing a dorm with me.

“Brother Su Bai, can we take a picture with you? I can't wait to show off and boast about this in front of others,” Liu Yong said as he walked over.

Su Bai shrugged and took a picture with him.

“I want to take a photo, too.”

Lu Shuang also ran over. After taking the picture, he looked at him in surprise. “I was wondering why you looked so familiar; turns out I've seen you on TV before.

“I also remember your duck; it unleashed a terrifying move, the Thousand Miles Freeze. I was so shocked. Your duck is too shady. It's shady and strong.”

“Yes, I was taken aback when I saw Su Bai, but I didn't expect it to be true.

“From now on, the three of us will rely on you, Brother Bai. I'll help you take water and food, as long as you take me when you go to kill monsters.” Feng Ming smiled.

“Actually, I was just lucky; I'm not as strong as everyone thinks.”

Su Bai waved his hand and then asked, “Please don't tell anyone about this in the class. I don't wanna be famous. It's better to keep a low profile in school.”

He really did not want to pretend or show off as it generally did not end well. He had even changed his hairstyle before coming to school but was unfortunately still recognized.

“Okay, we understand. Hehe!” Lu Shuang smiled and patted him on the shoulder. The other three also looked like they understood.

His position in the dormitory elevated all of a sudden.

Shaking his head, he took out a piece of food to feed the cub.

The other three were still very excited, holding their mobile phones and excitedly showing off with their friends.

In fact, they could not help but get excited. There were only five people in the country with perfect scores, so it was really lucky to meet one of them.

It was impossible not to be excited.

After a while, the teacher in charge tagged everyone in their class, notifying them of the orientation.

“Let's go. We're going to the class meeting.”

Su Bai put away the phoenix and got up with the cub.

Not long after, a few students who wanted to be class leaders also came to report.

He followed the crowd. Feng Ming deliberately slowed down and came to his side. He said sheepishly, “Sorry, I exposed your identity in the dormitory.”

He originally thought that Su Bai would be very happy about this, but it did not seem to be the case from his expression.

“It's okay; it doesn't matter.” Su Bai smiled and shook his head. He understood that it was normal to be recognized.

“Did you not think about becoming a class monitor? You know that having a class position in university has a lot of benefits. Many people are eager to obtain such. If it's you, it should be easy to get a position,” Feng Ming said with a smile again.

“It's too troublesome; I'm not interested in it.” He shook his head.

As they chatted, they soon came to the classroom.

Not long after, their class teacher, Liu Xuemei, came in. She had a list in her hand, and she threw this list to the student in the front row. “Roll call.”

After this was over, she nodded. “Everyone is here; the orientation will officially start. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Xuemei. This is my phone number…”

She wrote her name and phone number on the blackboard.

After briefly talking about some points that everyone should pay attention to in school, she said, “There will be military training for half a month, and this is going to be credited. You should take this chance to score well. Also, those who want to be a class monitor should perform well in the military training. When the military training is over, we will have a unified election.

“For other things, please refer to the class group notice. I will be posting it there.

“After the military training is over, normal classes will begin. The textbooks of pet universities are a bit different; they talk about various skills and contain lots of knowledge from Pet Tamers who have studied for more than 100 years.”

The development and research of his course's pet combat system was vast and even included the impact of collisions of various attributes, tactical layouts, et cetera.

He had a very peaceful time in class. At first, some female classmates harassed him, but after he explained that he already had a girlfriend, he was generally ignored.

Originally, he thought that the people who coveted his Ancestor Blood Dragon would show up here, but it was unexpectedly calm, and no one bothered him at all.

In this way, his daily life became more monotonous. Fortunately, he had Chen Ruoxue, so he was not lonely or bored.

On this day, after the morning first class, he took Purple Jade to the fifteenth indoor pet training ground.

“Howl?” Ah Bai, what are we going to do next? The cub turned its head and asked him.

“Imperial Beast Club asked me to come over, saying that it's for an initiation before joining.

“If nothing happens, you'll be able to study at Imperial Beast Gymnasium after some time. ” He smiled.

“Is it a gym? I'll look forward to it, then.” The cub nodded.

“I'm also very curious about the internal conditions of the Imperial Beast Gymnasium. I can take a look when you are about to study,” Su Bai said.

Soon, they arrived at the indoor training ground, and the person at the door was Jiu Jue, the one who had previously invited him.

“Hello, senior.” He waved.

“Hurry in. Everyone else has already arrived.”

Jiu Jue patted him on the shoulder, nodding and smiling.

When he entered the training ground, the situation inside was different from what Su Bai had expected.

Originally, he thought there would be dozens of hundreds of people here to participate in the initiation together.

However, in fact, there were only seven people inside, three men and four women.

The person in charge of the initiation was a girl in sportswear. She looked very cute and lively.

Su Bai came in and realized that she kept batting her eyes at him.

“Now that everyone is here, let's start the initiation to join the club.

“Imperial Beast is an elite club with a small population of only thirty individuals. When our count is fewer than thirty, we recruit new ones.

“This time, because five senior sisters graduated, we have to recruit five members.

“Since you received an invitation, it means that you are good enough. You can be happy about being recognized by the Imperial Beast Club. It's also a very exclusive thing in the whole school.”

The girl in sportswear said with a smile on her face while she turned her pen.

“I'm the head of the Imperial Beast Club, and my name is Li Xue. You can call me Sister Li.

“The initiation is also very simple. I have a stone here. Come up one by one and hold it. If the stone shines, it means that you've passed the initiation and can officially join the club.

“Now from the front to the back, come up and test yourselves one by one. ” Li Xue took out a white stone the size of a steamed bun.

Su Bai glanced at the stone, which resembled the fragrant and soft steamed buns sold in the cafeteria.

Seated in the first row was a girl with white suspenders and a short sleeve shirt. She stepped up to hold the stone, and the stone emitted a soft white light.

“Okay. You passed the assessment. Please wait at the side.”

Li Xue smiled and nodded. “Next!”

The second girl who went up first held the stone, but when she found that there was no response, she squeezed and scratched but still received no response at all.

“No need to squeeze; it's useless. You are eliminated. Sorry.”

The girl nodded slightly with a sullen face, then turned around, and left.

Of the next five people, only one boy passed; all the others were eliminated.

“Su Bai, it's your turn.” Li Xue looked at him and smiled.

Su Bai was quite surprised that the leader of this club actually knew him.

He did not know what to expect of the test, for he did not know what the standard was.

Taking a deep breath, he walked over and squeezed the stone. The moment he touched the soft, white stone, it penetrated the palm of his hand, making him suspect that it was really a steamed bun.

The next instant, a gentle, white light radiated from the stone, signifying that he passed the test.

He passed so easily?

Su Bai was puzzled. He had only squeezed the stone and had not done anything.

Originally, he thought there would be illusions hidden in it, but the result was unexpected.

“Congrats! You passed the test. Now, please fill in a form each, you three.”

Li Xue took out some forms and handed them to the three people. “You can write down how many pets you want to study at the Imperial Beast Museum. Each person has only three places each year.

“However, before you fill out the forms in your hands, I want to explain that it's not entirely free of charge for your pets to study there. You will have to complete a task assigned by them.

“The difficulty of a task given is generally within your capabilities. If you think it's not cost-effective, you can skip filling out the forms.”

Su Bai looked at the form in his hand and filled in the names of Purple Jade, Little Tyrant, and Ice Phoenix.

It was enough for Mewling Fox to learn from the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox; Pipi Kraken was still too young, and Little Dragon was temporarily unable to appear in public.

The other two people did not hesitate and filled out their respective forms.

Li Xue smiled and said, “Congratulations! You've made a very good choice. Although your pets will have to do a task after the end of their studies at the gym, they still have the opportunity to be valued by those powerful monsters.

“If they take a fancy to your pets, they may have a chance to learn some rare and consummate skills.”

Li Xue smiled, then took out her phone, and said, “Scan this QR code to enter the group, and when I submit your data, you can take your pets to the Imperial Beast Gymnasium located in East Capital's Pet Alliance.”

After the three entered the group, she looked at the forms they had filled out and nodded. “Okay, you guys can leave now.

“Our club usually also has some activities, such as hunting monsters, looking for spiritual plants, and venturing in certain places.

“These activities will be told in the group chat, and they are all voluntary. If you want to participate in any of them, you can contact the initiator.

“Of course, you can initiate activities yourselves.”

“Understood. Thank you, senior sister.” Su Bai smiled happily and turned around, about to leave.

“Wait. Don't go yet; I have something to tell you.” Li Xue stopped him.

He stopped and looked at the lady. After the other two left, Jiu Jue closed the door and walked in.

“Senior sister, what else is there to tell me?” asked Su Bai straightforwardly.

“Actually, I'm more than your senior sister in school,” Li Xue said.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I'm Gao An's third apprentice.”

“Don't tease me. How could my third senior sister still be attending school? I don't believe it.”

He looked at her and shook his head.

“My ninth brother is in his twenties, and it's been several years since he graduated. How could my third senior sister be in school?”

“Why would I tease you? You can take a picture of me and ask Liu Xinghe to see if I'm his senior sister.”

Li Xue knocked on his head, squinting at him. “Who told you one must be ranked according to age?”

“Howl! (▼ヘ▼#)”

The cub let out a threatening mew.

He comforted Purple Jade and directly video-called Liu Xinghe.

“Hey, junior brother, why have you called? Who bullied you?” His fellow disciple answered the phone and spoke with a smile.

“Erm, is this our third sister?” He pointed the camera at Li Xue.

“Senior sister, hello, hello; do you have anything to order? If you have something to say, I'll do it right away.” Liu Xinghe immediately spoke politely upon seeing Li Xue.

“No, it's none of your business now.”

She hung up the phone and looked at Su Bai with a playful smile. “Aren't you going to greet me?”

Jiu Jue could no't help laughing beside him.

“Hello, third sister.” Su Bai bowed to her in greeting.

“Good boy! Call me senior sister again.” Li Xue patted him on the shoulder.

“Hello, senior sister,” he called again with a smile. “I always thought that my third sister should be the kind of title-holder Pet Tamer who owns an emperor pet. I really didn't expect this situation.”

“Hmph! Your mouth is quite sweet; this is for you, my meeting gift.”

Li Xue smiled, took out an aquamarine crystal with a diameter of ten centimeters, and handed it to him.

“This…” Even though she was his senior sister, Su Bai was still embarrassed to take someone's gift. He felt too bashful.

“It's just a first meeting gift.” Li Xue stuffed it into his hand.

“Thank you, senior sister.”

He hurriedly bowed and thanked her. This was a huge piece of the essence of the sea—a very rare treasure. Generally, only one gram could be extracted from 100,000 tons of sea water. It was a treasure for any water pet.

This essence of the sea, which Li Xue gave him, was obviously one that had crystallized for a long time.

It was generally believed that the sea essence extracted was granular and very similar to white sugar.

With this sea essence, the Blue Sea Kraken could quickly complete its first evolution, consolidate the source, and start its journey of devouring the sky and earth.

“It's a small thing. I will cover you in school from here on. You can come and tell me anytime you need my help.” Li Xue clapped her hands. “You can leave; I'll take you with me next time I go out to play.”

“Senior sister, I'll leave now then,” said Su Bai before turning around and leaving.

When he walked to the door, he turned around again, glanced at the white stone, and said, “Senior sister, what is the nature of this thing?”

He was really curious about the white stone used for the assessment.

Li Xue picked up the stone and weighed it. She replied with a smile, “This stone was taken from the Imperial Beast Museum; it's mainly to test the Pet Tamer's attitude toward pets.

“If you only use your pets as tools, you can't make it glow. Only when you treat your pets as companions can you make it glow. I don't understand the specifics, either.”

“Okay.” Su Bai nodded and left.

After exiting the indoor training ground, he went directly to the school gate.

Chen Ruoxue was waiting there for him.

“How was it? Did you pass the assessment?” she grabbed his hand and asked with a smile.

“Yes…” He went over the whole situation briefly.

“Wow, you're so lucky to meet your third sister here! She even gave you a sea essence as a first meeting gift. She's quite the rich lady.” Chen Rouxue smiled.

“Yes, she is, but the most important thing is that my pets can study at the Imperial Beast Gymnasium.” Su Bai nodded.

“Okay, let's go buy food.”

After buying food on the streets, the two went back to Hope Community. Because they had no class in the afternoon, they decided not to leave school.

After entering their rented house, Chen Ruoxue heated up the food while Su Bai released the Blue Sea Kraken.

“Onom!” The kraken hit him and opened its mouth.

He took out two bottles of potion to feed it before giving it the whole piece of sea essence.

After waiting for a while, Pipi Kraken burst forth with a strong blue light and then a blue spiritual vortex enveloped it.

Its size grew a bit to a length of ten meters in the whirlpool. If the living room was not big enough, it would be unable to contain it.

It completed its evolution just like this and turned into a Deep Blue Sea Kraken.

Su Bai checked its data. It had awakened a Water Cannon skill, which was pretty good.

“Very good!”

He looked at the domineering and leaky guy in front of him and gave it two more potion bottles.

“Wow, it looks great! I have to hurry up and let my Green Grass Kraken evolve, too.” Chen Ruoxue envied him.

“Onom!” The kun blinked at him.

“Next time, I'll find a good place for you to have fun. You can't use your skills in this room,” said Su Bai as he put it away, feeling quite happy.

“Let's eat. Look at how happy you are.” She rolled her eyes.

“Hehe! It just feels great.” He chuckled and sat down to eat.

It was nighttime soon. He hugged his girlfriend and asked her to help him with some hand work.

Halfway through, he suddenly sat up. Chen Ruoxue let go and stared at him. “What's wrong? Is my technique not good?”

“No, something happened at the Scarlet Wilderness,” he said solemnly.

“What happened?” She was shocked.

Whatever happened that made Su Bai get up at this time was no small matter.

“From what the dragon perceived, it should be the birth of the Blood Moon divine skill. I want to go into the monster wilderness to take a look,” Su Bai frowned and said. He did not expect that the divine skill would be born at this time, but its birth also meant that the Blood Moon world was in irreversible collapse.

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

“No, I'll first go to Senior Wei Ya. Then we'll take a look together. Don't worry; I won't show off there, I value my life too much.” He refused.

“Let's go to bed first; we'll see the situation when we get up tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow.”

He hugged her as they lay down.
