Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-245

Upon his arrival at Yulong Gymnasium, Su Bai kept Planet Eye and landed on the ground.

"Senior brother, you're finally back!" Ouyang Du, who had received the news in advance, hurriedly brought people at the entrance to greet him.

"Yes, I'm back." Su Bai nodded at their group and entered the gym with them.

Having been gone for a long time, many disciples did not recognize him when he entered.

However, he was not bothered by this and went straight to the God Dragon Division.

"Senior brother, you must be careful; many people have already received news of your return. Especially Senior Brother Zi Wuji, he might pose as a stumbling block to you," whispered Ouyang Du on the way.

"I understand. You don't have to worry about that." He waved his hand dismissively. After experiencing a battle with Dragon King Amethyst, he had enough understanding of his strength and now had higher confidence in this kind of thing.

Even if someone were to throw a sand sculpture at him now, he could easily punish the perpetrator as an example to others.

He entered the gymnasium and went straight to the dean's office.

He knocked three times.

"Come in." The dean, Qin Miao's voice, sounded.

"Huh, you're back?" Qin Miao said in surprise.

Su Bai: "…You already know that I am back; why are you pretending?"

"I did find out moments ago." Qin Miao smiled and spread her hands, motioning for Su Bai to sit down. She poured him a cup of tea and asked, "How did it go? Was Abyss Star Territory fun?"

"It's not fun. It took me a year to understand how precious sunshine is."

Su Bai basked in the sun, which was shining through the window, and sighed contentedly.

"The stars in Abyss Star Territory were dying, and most of the planets are also dead stars. That place felt like a cage and was too depressing."

"You're right. Any other thing?" Qin Miao chuckled.

"It's too big. I was traveling most of the time. I went to Kunlun Ruins, but I only looked and left.

On the way back, I was blocked by Xiao Yulong and Zi Yi. They even brought a peak sovereign Dark Night Dragon to chase me down.

"That can be overlooked, though. Who knew that Dragon King Amethyst had quietly followed him all the way? I almost died there after encountering the twelfth dragon slayer; fortunately, I managed to escape thanks to the Dark Night Dragon, which burned its origin to release its consummate skill."

Su Bai shook his head. "If I died inside, I wouldn't even see my girlfriend for the last time. Other than that, I also investigated the monsters' situation inside. I'll organize it into data and send everything to you later. Remember to report it to the Alliance for me."

"You encountered Dragon King Amethyst?" Qin Miao jerked and stood up, completely caught off guard. Dragon King Amethyst was a heavenly king Pet Tamer who was much stronger than her, but Su Bai had actually managed to escape under his clutches. This was too shocking.

Ordinary heavenly king Pet Tamers had epic contract books and sovereign pets.

Although Dragon King Amethyst did own an epic contract book, he already had an immortal pet and could be said to be a half-step legendary Pet Tamer. He was much stronger than most heavenly king Pet Tamers but still could not defeat a legendary Pet Tamer.

(For grade details, please refer to related works.)

In the face of a half-step legendary Pet Tamer like Dragon King Amethyst, Qin Miao could only guarantee to barely escape. She really wondered how Su Bai had survived.

"Yes." Su Bai recounted the situation at that time. He did not hide details about his divine skill or the strength of his Blood Dragon.

Anyway, Xiao Yulong and the others already knew about it, so it was useless to hide it. Instead, he told Qin Miao so that she could feel more at ease, which would in turn be more convenient for himself.

After listening to Su Bai's story, Qin Miao was speechless for a long time. No wonder the grandmaster had been so optimistic about Su Bai at the beginning. The effect of this divine skill was too nature-defying, and the Ancestor Blood Dragon was a perfect match.

After drinking several sips of tea, Qin Miao finally calmed herself down. "Okay, I understand now. I'll warn the Xiao family and ask them to pay compensation. We have to show the strongest attitude and let them know our firm stand on this."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Su Bai nodded in thanks. He had sought the dean exactly because of this. Since he had joined Yulong Gymnasium, he naturally had to use the resources here to scare off those who thought that they could bully the small.

"Don't mention it. By the way, I replaced your prior house with a single villa. This is the key to your new place." Qin Miao shook her head and took out a bunch of keys from the drawer.

"Thank you dean; I'll take my leave now, then."

Su Bai took the key, drank the tea, and got up to leave.

Qin Miao watched him leave and sighed. She originally wanted to warn Su Bai to be careful and watch out for the challenges of those core disciples, but now she only hoped that the core disciples could be more perceptive, or else they would end up in a miserable state.

After coming out of the dean's office, Su Bai saw a few disciples coming up and stopping in front of him. He was very familiar with the person leading the way; it was He Yu, who had lost to him at the beginning.

She had been the domineering senior sister of the gymnasium before his arrival.

"Senior brother, I think that your allocation of task resources is unreasonable. Those of us who are elite disciples with pure-blood dragon pets and sub-dragon pets are the future of the gymnasium, but you assigned good tasks to those ordinary disciples without even sub-dragons. It's unreasonable and unfair." The lady looked at him and spoke in a deep voice.

"What's unfair?" Su Bai looked at her, puzzled. "Although I'm the senior brother, I can only mobilize half of the resources and control half of the tasks. If you want to obtain resources, you can complete the remaining half of the task."

"How is that possible? There are only a few tasks that we can take, and most of the gains are in your hands," another young man called Yang Shan murmured.

"You used to exclude ordinary disciples in this way, didn't you? Why, you can't stand it now?"

Su Bai shrugged. The miserable ones in this gymnasium were those ordinary disciples who got excluded from the inner circle and could not take up leadership positions at all. The tasks they took were all ordinary with few resources, while the good ones were taken by the elite disciples in advance.

Some ordinary disciples were actually not inferior to elite disciples in terms of strength and only lacked pets with dragon bloodline.

Because this was the tradition of the gymnasium, Yulong Gymnasium took dragon pets as the standard.

What he was doing now was in line with the tradition of the gymnasium. The senior brother could control half of the task allocation, which was one of the resources given to any senior brother of the gymnasium to form a team.

In general, elite and core disciples who had high-level dragon pets would also be selected by the senior brother as part of the team.

It was only because Su Bai did not choose them that something different had happened.

However, he was not to be blamed for this. When he first became the senior brother, these disciples with high-level dragon pets were too proud and did not even come to greet him, so he could only find ordinary disciples.

"Senior brother, we were too arrogant before, but now we're willing to recognize you and help you seize the position of curator. What do you think?"

Another young man named Lu Tao said, "Senior brother, you must believe that we people have far more resources than Han Wei and Ouyang Du. What do you think about cooperating with us? It's a win-win situation for you."

"You make it sound like you're quite a big shot, but I have yet to recognize your strength."

Su Bai took his little finger to dig his ear and said, "It's okay if you want me to recognize you. Just go and snatch back the resources the Giant Dragon Division had taken from us. Not all are required; just one-fifth will do. How about it? Simple enough, right?"

Hearing these words, Lu Tao and the other people's expressions changed. They suddenly became gloomy and their words became conscientious. "This is too difficult…"

"You're useless if you don't dare to take back the things that you've lost yourself and only know how to be a tyrant at home!" Su Bai glanced at Lu Tao and the others in disgust. He then turned and left.

"Hehe! Senior brother, have you won back any resources for us then? Since you can't agree, we can only speak with force in accordance with the tradition."

Yang Shan, Lu Tao, and the others stood up together and looked at him. "I want to have a taste of our senior brother's great tricks!"

Su Bai stopped, slowly turned his head, and glanced at Lu Tao and others. He then turned back to He Yu and asked, "You want to challenge me, too?"

The lady hesitated for a moment before she finally nodded and said, "Yes, but if I lose, I'm willing to take back the resources that belong to our gymnasium. In the future, I'll take you, senior brother, as my only guide."

"Okay, then. See you at the training ground tomorrow morning." Su Bai nodded, knowing that he could not prevent this confrontation from happening.
