7: Are you going to destroy me?

“Is that Li Wen? My middle school classmate, and now he’s in my class again?”

“How did you two end up together?”

“(๑♡ω♡๑) I’m shipping it!”

Li Muyun: “He and I just met by chance.”

“Don’t even get me started, the pet beauty is handsome too, and this photo looks quite harmonious.”

“Indeed, Li Wen is also very cute.”

Li Wen, who had just been dragged into the group chat family by the notification sound, happened to see this message.

Hmm, it’s a very fair assessment. I approve. Thumbs up.

Wait… something seems off.

Why is a man speaking? Please, a macho man shouldn’t be whining! Hey! (❀｣╹□╹)｣*･

Li Wen, who was about to type, immediately deleted the draft and turned off his phone screen, because the group chat might turn into a philosophical battlefield next.

To protect his eyes, group chat time ends here.

“Li Muyun, I remember Little Spring Spirit has the Water Arrow Skill, and my Sprout Beast has the Ram Skill. So, let them attack each other.”

“This way, we can simultaneously train both their Skill accuracy and their evasion abilities.”

The textbook “Pet Beast Cultivation” mentioned that in addition to the breeding aspect, pet beast cultivation also includes a training aspect.

And training is mainly divided into three directions:

Skill training.

Stamina cultivation.

Agility cultivation.

Skill training is a broad category; everything related to Skills falls under Skill training.

Stamina cultivation includes three aspects: resistance to strikes, physical fitness, and energy.

Agility cultivation is also divided into reaction speed, movement speed, and judgment.

Newcomers generally need to formulate training methods suitable for their pet beast type.

Anyone who can formulate a plan that meets all aspects and is suitable for their pet beast, if not a Breeder, must at least be a professional Beastmaster.

And Li Wen’s plan was specifically designed for two different pet beasts.

Little Spring Spirit is an elemental artillery, so mastering Skills is crucial. A normal Sprout Beast would typically evolve into a functional type, but now it’s forced into melee combat.

Not only speed and reaction, but also resistance to strikes must be trained.

Moreover, if they train each other, Li Wen can slack off, right?

Perfect for dating, pass.

Chatting √

With pet beasts around, who still has an interest in dating?

Ya Bao, who had been bombarded with many Sprout Beast combat videos by Li Wen at home, initially had some expectations for this new training.

But gradually, it realized that this was not combat at all, but one-sided beatings. How could such a cute pet beast suffer such grievances?

Little Spring Spirit floated in mid-air, getting more and more excited as it unleashed Skills, while Ya Bao on the ground could only desperately dodge.

The Water Arrow Skill had numerous arrows within its range. Although Ya Bao dodged most of them, it still took many hits.

Fortunately, there was an attribute counter, so all the damage dealt by Little Spring Spirit was weak, and Ya Bao’s physical strength had also increased after temporarily losing its ranged ability.

After multiple rounds of Water Arrow attacks, Little Spring Spirit’s spiritual power was almost over-expended, and it descended from its floating state to the ground.

Ya Bao, “exhausted,” also quickly lay down on the ground to rest.

Although Ya Bao’s acting was good, how could it hide from Li Wen, who possessed the All-Knowing Eye?

“Contracted Pet Beast: Ya Bao” (Leisurely)

...However, seeing that Ya Bao’s other data had indeed improved, he decided to let it rest. After all, he hadn’t set a good example himself.

Seeing that Li Wen didn’t continue to call for training, Ya Bao, who was already somewhat resistant to “being beaten,” tried to awaken Li Wen’s conscience.

“Ya~ Ya~”

“Master, Ya Bao is too tired. Let’s end training for today.”

It was only now that Li Wen felt a little uncomfortable with the term “Master,” as if their relationship wasn’t very close.

“You don’t need to call me Master, just call me Li Wen.”

Ya Bao, hearing Li Wen’s gentle tone, felt hopeful, and its big eyes lit up.

But Li Wen suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming serious.

“However, training must still continue.”

Originally, Ya Bao’s improvement today had already met Li Wen’s expectations, and he was ready to pack up and go home to prepare for the Breeder exam.

But Ya Bao’s words made Li Wen feel a hint of impropriety. The shaping of a pet beast’s personality at the beginning of its cultivation is crucial.

Perhaps his training method had a problem, causing Ya Bao’s mindset to be problematic, somewhat timid in battle, so it was necessary to correct it immediately.

Ya Bao never dreamed that its momentary thought of laziness would lead it to endure even longer training.

“Stupid Li Wen, dead Li Wen.”

Li Wen naturally understood Ya Bao’s tantrum, as he had experienced many times when teachers suddenly assigned extra tasks during free time.

“Do you think you can’t win against Little Spring Spirit? Is that why you don’t want to train?”

“Ya~”

“Exactly.”

What a joke, it’s in the sky, and I can’t even attack it. How am I supposed to fight?

“Actually, it’s not impossible…”

“You forgot you have two dash Skills that can quickly approach Little Spring Spirit.”

“As for the air, think carefully about the surrounding trees.”

“Ya?”

“Can it work?”

Ya Bao was a little skeptical of Li Wen’s suggestion.

At this moment, the recovered Little Spring Spirit floated over, looking excited.

“Ling~ Ling~”

“Let’s continue!”

Of course, Li Wen didn’t understand; this wasn’t his contracted pet beast. It was clearly an invitation directed at Ya Bao.

Upon hearing it, Ya Bao immediately glared fiercely at Little Spring Spirit.

Oh! I treated you as a friend, and you’re just eager to shoot me with Skills.

Are you trying to destroy me?

It’s simply too hateful. Although the stupid Li Wen’s suggestion is a bit unreliable, I won’t just take a beating one-sidedly.

Stared at by Ya Bao like that, Little Spring Spirit, though a little scared, still bravely glared back.

“Ling~”

“Ya~”

The two pet beasts stared at each other like this, and for a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Although the sounds were soft and cute, Li Muyun watched with slight nervousness, but Li Wen was very satisfied, because this was the effect he wanted.

“Come on, a thrilling and exciting pet beast duel.”

Little Spring Spirit stirred its water currents, condensing Water Arrows around itself, preparing to unleash a volley of arrows on its new little friend.

Ya Bao naturally wouldn’t give it this chance and, following its own idea, ran towards a tree.

Little Spring Spirit used “Volley of Arrows”

Ya Bao: Miss

Tree: HP-100

Ya Bao hid behind the tree, making friendly exchanges (taunting), wiggling its butt, trying to provoke Little Spring Spirit.

Li Wen: “…”

Who does it take after? It shouldn't be me, anyway.

But isn’t this also a great wisdom? This point must have come from me.

Ya Bao: No, do you even have any shame?
