Challenged again?

Gu Xiaoyue asked Chu Li if he was free this weekend, and Chu Li thought she wanted to go on a date with him.

When Gu Xiaoyue said she wanted to go to Chu Li's house with Ye Wanrou to try out the latest beast combat simulator, Chu Li was somewhat disappointed.

"You are welcome to come anytime; I will send someone to pick you up. As for Ye Wanrou, she knows the way!"

Gu Xiaoyue chuckled. This Chu Li usually chatted and ate with Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan, but he always acted so haughty, as if he really didn't like them.

On the appointed day, Butler Zhao came to pick her up, and Gu Xiaoyue greeted the young couple who were tending to their potted plants on the balcony.

This was her first time at Chu Li's house. Gu Xiaoyue had imagined it would be luxurious, but she didn't expect it to be this luxurious!

It wasn't just a villa; it was more like an estate. By visual estimation, it was definitely over 20,000 square meters.

As soon as Gu Xiaoyue got out of the car, Chu Li was already waiting for her.

Seeing no sign of Ye Wanrou around, she asked, "Hasn't Ye Wanrou arrived yet?"

Chu Li looked down at his brain, "She has already entered the main gate; let's wait a moment."

Gu Xiaoyue nodded, closed her eyes, and focused her Mental Power on the Yu Beast Space to check the status of her pets.

The sound of a car stopping reached her ears, and Ye Wanrou's voice rang out, "Xiao Yue, you arrived before me!"

Ye Wanrou got out of the car, and behind her was a tall, handsome man.

"Let me introduce you. This is my cousin—Ye Junhe. Brother, this is my good friend, Gu Xiaoyue."

Gu Xiaoyue figured that Ye Junhe and Chu Li were in the same circle, so they probably already knew each other and didn't need much of an introduction.

Just like when she said she was coming to Chu Li's house, and Chu Li said Ye Wanrou knew the way.

Sure enough, Ye Junhe didn't even look at Chu Li and walked straight up to Gu Xiaoyue.

"I heard from Ye Wanrou that you successfully absorbed the gathering spirit stone? I want to challenge you!"

Gu Xiaoyue was astonished. What was going on? Challenging her right off the bat?

Just like Lin Zhiyi, what is it, does Ye Junhe want to enter a marriage alliance with Chu Li too?

Chu Li, standing nearby, couldn't watch anymore and pushed Ye Junhe, "You seem to have something wrong with you. I also absorbed it successfully; if you want to fight, fight me!"

Ye Junhe gave Ye Wanrou a reproachful look and asked her in a lowered voice, "Why didn't you tell me this information earlier?"

Ye Wanrou looked embarrassed, "No one told me, how was I supposed to know?"

Gu Xiaoyue chuckled, breaking the awkward situation.

"I'm not fighting you; I want to challenge Gu Xiaoyue!"

Ye Junhe glanced guiltily at Chu Li, then muttered, "I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to beat you!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue wanted to laugh even more, "I can't beat you either; I concede."

Ye Junhe was a bit unhappy when he heard that, "We haven't even fought yet, and you're conceding? Are you looking down on me?"

Chu Li hooked his arm around Ye Junhe's neck and dragged him toward the door, "You're afraid of losing to me, but my Xiao Yue is much stronger than me!"

At this, Ye Wanrou wasn't having it. She put her hands on her hips and said somewhat angrily, "When did Xiao Yue become yours? Hmph, you better explain—clearly—"

"Come, come, let's go inside and talk—" Chu Li and Ye Junhe walked inside laughing and joking, with Gu Xiaoyue and Ye Wanrou following behind.

They went straight into the Chu family's beast combat simulator training ground.

While waiting for the simulator to start, Chu Li chatted with Ye Junhe.

"Didn't you go to Huaqing to report? Why are you back?"

Ye Junhe said spiritedly, "I heard from Ye Wanrou that her best friend successfully absorbed the gathering spirit stone, so I specifically came back to understand her strength. You guys are really something, not being loyal at all. You didn't even tell me when there was such a good thing as a gathering spirit stone up for auction!"

Chu Li lowered his head and chuckled, "Understand what strength? If you want to fight, just fight me."

Ye Wanrou whispered to Gu Xiaoyue, "Xiao Yue, don't look at my brother like he's a fool; he actually awakened a Heaven-tier talent!"

Gu Xiaoyue silently gave a thumbs up. Awesome!

"By the way, Lin Zhiyi also went to Huaqing. What are your plans? I originally thought you would go to Chongbei. Why don't you come to Huaqing too?"

Ye Junhe was a bit curious. Basically, all Beastmasters who awakened Earth-tier talents had already reported to their respective universities. Why was Chu Li still staying at middle school?

"We'll see." Chu Li glanced meaningfully at Gu Xiaoyue, a hint of a blush appearing on his face.

A servant came to ask about the level and number of beasts to set for the simulator, and Chu Li asked for everyone's opinion.

Gu Xiaoyue suggested, "Let's set it to 60 beasts at Young life stage 6 first, then 70 beasts at Young life stage 7, in waves of 5."

No one had any objections.

Upon entering the mini-realm, everyone summoned their pets.

Chu Li summoned his Fire Phoenix and his Teng Snake, which was already at Young life stage 6.

His Lihuo Red-Eyed Beast was only at Young life stage 4; its damage reduction against Young life stage 6 beasts was too high.

Ye Wanrou summoned her Snow Leopard at Young life stage 4, and Ye Junhe summoned his Feilian at Young life stage 6.

[Name]: Feilian

[Grade]: Heaven-tier top grade

[Attribute]: Wind Attribute

[Skills]: Wind Control (Intermediate), Wind Blade (Intermediate), Wind Whirl (Intermediate)

[Level]: Young life stage 6

The Feilian had an eagle's head and a deer's body, with a pair of exaggeratedly large antelope horns on its head, and its size was like a half-grown deer.

Gu Xiaoyue summoned Qingqing and her Little Bear, which had just reached Young life stage 5.

Ye Wanrou was stunned. This leveling speed was comparable to Chu Li's Earth-tier and Ye Junhe's Heaven-tier. How did Xiao Yue level up so fast?

A few seconds later, 5 Earth Armor Elephants spawned.

Gu Xiaoyue used her will to command the Little Bear to erect a translucent Earth Shield in front of them. Then, a sandstorm kicked up, and the Earth Armor Elephants spun around in circles like headless flies.

Chu Li commanded the Fire Phoenix to unleash a Fire Sea, the Teng Snake to release Wood Thorns, and Ye Junhe had his Feilian unleash a combo of Wind Blade and Wind Whirl.

Even with such attacks, it wasn't enough to instantly kill the Earth Armor Elephants; their defense was truly formidable!

Qingqing threw out Ice Flame, the Teng Snake and Little Bear released poison mist, and even Ye Wanrou, who had intended to just coast, commanded her Snow Leopard to use its skills.

The Fire Sea, Wind Whirl, poison mist, and Ice Flame were all continuous damage. Finally, Ye Junhe added another round of Wind Blades, and this wave of Earth Armor Elephants was wiped out.

"Your attack power is really high," Gu Xiaoyue said sincerely to Ye Junhe.

Is this the combat power of a single-attribute pet?

If the Feilian and Fire Phoenix were to PK, the Fire Phoenix's attack power would not match the Feilian's due to the limitations of having dual attributes.

However, if it were Chu Li and Ye Junhe PK-ing, Chu Li still had the Teng Snake or the Lihuo Red-Eyed Beast that could join the fight.

No wonder Ye Junhe was afraid of losing to Chu Li!

"Thanks for the compliment, you're not bad either!" Ye Junhe gave a smile that suggested a pleasant cooperation.

Just like that, the twelve waves of Young life stage 6 beasts were quickly finished.

"Do you want to rest for a while?" Chu Li asked everyone.

Ye Junhe said disdainfully, "Why rest? Let's continue; I feel incredibly strong right now!"
