140: Xiao Mo's energy-absorbing skills

Everyone was puzzled by the little boy's actions.

Suddenly, Xue Jing shouted, "My Fire-Rolled Sable has dropped a level!"

Xue Jing's Fire-Rolled Sable, which had just reached the early stage of Mature Level 2, had actually dropped to the late stage of Mature Level 1 during the little boy's scratching movements!

"My Three-Legged Crane has dropped a level too!"

Zhao Huaiyao shrieked. The late stage of Mature Level 2, which he had worked so hard to reach, had dropped to the middle stage of Mature Level 2 in less than a minute.

Wei Liuyun and Fang Xiaoyu's pet beasts also dropped a minor level.

Faced with this situation, even if they wanted to recall their pet beasts, the beasts were controlled by vines and could not disengage from the battle.

Sun Jian's Thick-Skinned Giant-Horned Deer dropped from the early stage of Mature Level 3 to the late stage of Mature Level 2.

He finally couldn't hold it in anymore and roared at Gu Xiaoyue, "Gu Xiaoyue, what kind of sorcery are you using? Our pet beasts have all dropped levels?!"

The onlookers were even more confused; they could only see the ten pet beasts on Sun Jian's side being controlled, struggling endlessly on the ground.

Little did they know, an invisible force was draining their growth experience.

Gu Xiaoyue was also somewhat surprised. She had always thought that Xiao Mo's Yuan Absorption skill just absorbed the essence and spirit of fierce beasts.

It would lower the fierce beasts' desire to fight and leave them lethargic.

She had no idea that Xiao Mo's Yuan Absorption was actually absorbing the fierce beasts' growth levels!

Could it convert into his own level?

Gu Xiaoyue wondered.

The stalemate continued for another two minutes.

These two minutes felt like years to the other side; it was unbearable.

As for Xiao Mo, he had risen from the early stage of Mature Level 5 to the middle stage of Mature Level 5!

It really could convert into his own growth level!

This was simply too heaven-defying. If she had known, she wouldn't have fed Xiao Mo spiritual plants to level up; she should have just let him use the Yuan Absorption skill while in the secret realm!

Thinking about the Golden Herb and Huanpo Lotus she had fed Xiao Mo earlier, her heart ached terribly!

"Come back!"

Gu Xiaoyue recalled Xiao Mo to her side. Eight out of the ten opposing pet beasts had dropped a minor level.

This lesson should be enough, right!

If Sun Jian and his group still dared to raise their voices at her, they would be hopelessly stupid!

Xiao Mo returned to stand by Gu Xiaoyue's side, smiling innocently and revealing a cute little tiger tooth.

Xiao Lv also retracted the vines.

The ten pet beasts were freed from their shackles, but they had lost every shred of fighting spirit, scrambling back to their masters.

Sun Jian glared at Gu Xiaoyue, "Underhanded tricks!"

Gu Xiaoyue wasn't angry; instead, she smiled gently.

Chu Li curled his lips. Others didn't know, but the more gently Gu Xiaoyue smiled when facing an enemy, the more miserable the opponent's fate would be.

So much so that, often, he would have a thought—this Xiao Yue was not the Gu Xiaoyue in his memories.

"Still daring to bare your fangs? Should we continue?"

Gu Xiaoyue turned to the referee, "Their pet beasts have lost their fighting spirit; does the referee not have a conclusion yet?"

Reminded by her, the referee snapped back to reality and declared Sun Jian's side the loser.

In his refereeing career, this was the first time he had seen a precedent where a pet beast went up, scratched a few times, and the enemy pet beasts dropped levels.

The audience below was also bewildered. They had just seen ten pet beasts with their necks bound by vines, followed by the little boy's antics.

Sun Jian's side kept shouting that their pet beasts were dropping levels; what exactly was going on?

"Senior Gu won! Senior Gu is the best!"

Gu Xiaoyue's hardcore fans had already started cheering. Regardless, Senior Gu won beautifully!

"If you are not satisfied, we can have another round."

Gu Xiaoyue looked at Sun Jian and the others' hateful, indignant gazes and recalled Xiao Lv and Xiao Mo to the Yu Beast Space.

She then turned around and summoned Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu.

"Exactly how many pet beasts above Mature Level 5 do you have?"

Xue Jing's face was livid, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Six, I suppose."

Gu Xiaoyue answered casually, and then casually summoned Qingqing and Xiao Xiong as well.

The students watching from below were also incredibly astonished. They were tired of saying the word 'pervert'!

Now, looks of terror finally appeared on Sun Jian and Zhao Huaiyao's faces.

With Gu Xiaoyue summoning four pet beasts at once, all above Mature Level 5.

In this year's National Competition, she would undoubtedly take first place again.

As long as she simultaneously summoned these four pet beasts, which she had already modified into human form.

She alone could even take on an entire team!

Just as Ye Wanrou said, they wanted to cling to her, but Gu Xiaoyue refused to take them.

After these two incidents, Gu Xiaoyue would definitely not like them even more in the future!

Gu Xiaoyue walked off the ring, and Charlie approached faster than Chu Li.

"Hey Yue, you were so cool just now! I really didn't pick the wrong person!"

Gu Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly; Charlie was no different from her hardcore fans now.

Returning to Chu Li's private training ground.

Ye Wanrou said somewhat smugly, "Xiao Yue is letting me coast, and no one can take my spot!"

"Weren't you scared pale just now when you were challenged?"

Chu Li teased her.

Ye Wanrou naturally refused to admit it, "Was I scared?

I was just caught off guard by their sudden challenge!"

Fang Xiaoyu also returned, looking exhausted.

Although his Devouring Golden Claw Leopard didn't drop a level, he estimated that the time it would take to level up would probably be much longer than before.

Gu Xiaoyue walked over to him, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Xiao Mo's skill could absorb the growth levels of the opposing pet beasts."

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head, "This isn't your fault; I also wanted to test your current strength.

As for the levels, they will go back up with time."

Seeing that his mindset was fine, Gu Xiaoyue didn't say anything more.

Saying too much would just be pretentious.

The National Competition team lineup had already been finalized; even if Sun Jian and Zhao Huaiyao disagreed, they had no justification.

Charlie's Fire Phoenix had also risen to Young life stage 4.

Gu Xiaoyue's primary task now was to train the summoning skill with Charlie's Fire Phoenix first.

Chu Li, meanwhile, was training with Fang Xiaoyu, Ye Wanrou, Chen Yixuan, and Zhuang Yanxin.

Although Zhuang Yanxin seemed to be on Sun Jian's side when he wanted to be captain.

But Sun Jian still placed her in a substitute position.

Later, Zhuang Yanxin realized that it was more beneficial for her if Gu Xiaoyue was the captain.

She hadn't done anything excessive, so Gu Xiaoyue naturally held no grudges and stuck to what was previously agreed upon.

Zhuang Yanxin would be the substitute, and the rewards Gu Xiaoyue received from team matches would all go to her.

Over half a month later, Charlie received a call from the Beastmaster Association.

His scheduled Quasi-Legendary assessment was set for the next day.

As his personal bodyguard, Gu Xiaoyue had to provide close protection, and Chu Li also tagged along to join the fun.

With his Hell Three-Headed Dog already at the middle stage of Mature Level 6, and his Hydra at the early stage of Mature Level 6, Charlie passed the Quasi-Legendary assessment very easily.

"Compared to the people from the Dark Night Baron, you are not without the power to fight now."

Charlie showed the Quasi-Legendary badge to Gu Xiaoyue, and she said approvingly.

Charlie was also very excited. He had originally wanted to schedule a Master-level assessment, but later, because he fed his pet beasts the Huanpo Lotus.

He simply signed up for the Quasi-Legendary level instead.

It would just take time to reach the Legendary level and above; his other pet beasts were still too low in level.

After leaving the Beastmaster Association, that oppressive feeling of being watched by a fierce beast returned.

"Chu Li, take Charlie and go first!"
