Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-297-30041322

Not long after the island-sized mount of the God Dragon Division stopped in midair, the island-sized mount of the Giant Dragon Division also flew over and stopped by their side.

The buildings on the backs of the two Giant Dragons expanded to form a huge aerial platform.

These structures belonged to Yulong Gymnasium, with the divided areas originally being together.

"Junior Brother Su, you run really fast; have you gained anything?" Zi Wuji flew over, looked at him, and asked with a smile.

Su Bai, who was standing on Planet Eye, was about to check the situation, but upon seeing Zi Wuji flying over, he casually said, "I have just arrived and haven't gained anything. I just plan to check the situation around."

Zi Wuji glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one present, he looked at Su Bai and said, "Junior brother, don't fight over the curator position with me; just give it to me. I promise to let you be the dean, and I'll also give you whatever resources you want.

"Although you are very good, your strength is too far from mine. You can't win with only the Ancestor Blood Dragon. Even if you have recovered from some disadvantageous situations before, it is still of little use, especially if you have no foreign aid at all."

Zi Wuji spoke very sincerely, but his words made people feel very uncomfortable.

Su Bai glanced at him and sneered. "I just want to overestimate my capabilities and fight for the curator position. Senior brother, if you don't mind, you can wait a few more years. I'll probably leave in about three, four, five, six, or seven years."

"I was just giving you advice; you should appreciate it." Zi Wuji's expression changed.

"What a coincidence; I was only giving you advice, too." Su Bai laughed.

"Very well! Since you have to fight with me, don't blame me for not standing in ceremony. I'll make you understand what despair is!" Zi Wuji took a deep look at him and then left.

"Let's continue exploring below." He ignored the man and gave this order softly.

"Okay." Planet Eye explored the depths of the Sea Abyss.

Along the way, they saw dense monsters flying out from the space cracks and taking off into the sky to try and enter Blue Planet.

Since his breath was not hidden, after traveling for two kilometers, he got surrounded.

Ten emperor monsters brought other monarch and commander monsters to surround Planet Eye.

"Roar!" Who gave you guys the courage!

Little Tyrant showed a look of contempt, lifted its claws, and hurtled over a dozen blighted fireballs.

Okay, it's done!

After hurtling fireballs at the monsters, the dino turned around and patted its claws. It then resumed gnawing on an ore. Someone strong never looked back at their handiwork.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, an attack backed by spiritual power emerged from the explosion and came flying straight to Su Bai.

At this moment of peril, Planet Eye quickly expanded its psionic shield. Alas, the psionic shield shattered directly with two loud bangs, but the force behind the attack stayed undiminished.

This was when the elf reacted. With a wave of the staff in its hand, three dark green energy balls flew out and easily destroyed the attack.

The assault was far from over, though. Ten behemoths had flown over from the gray mist, with blood-eating rays gleaming in their eyes and their hideous mouthparts and claws aimed at them.

"Roar~" Leave that to me!

Little Tyrant reacted and rushed over.

It was quite awkward; it looked back confidently, thinking that it had killed them all but realized that he had only made things worse.

Feeling furious, the dino grew to its full size of five hundred meters. When it unleashed Lava Purgatory as it rushed over, a pair of flaming lava wings grew on its back.

With a raise of its claw, ten Killer stunts flew out. The Killer stunts, with the blessing of Lava Purgatory and formed by transparent flames, flew fast. Coupled with the consummate skill to lock breaths, the stunts hit the ten approaching emperor monsters.

"Roar!" I don't believe that you all won't die this time!

The dino growled fiercely and glared at the ten monsters, which had already started their retaliation. Having issued ten Killer stunts at once, the dino was almost exhausted of its spiritual power. It got ready to fight using its claws if the monsters still survived this attack in order to defend its dignity.

Soon enough, it discovered that all the enemy monsters had lost their vitality and their bodies had even started to deteriorate.

"Roar!"

A Purple Octopus, the strongest among the ten monsters, suddenly let out a strange roar and then its body squirmed. A small warlord Purple Octopus was separated from its body. After the small octopus was separated, the big octopus turned away without saying anything and disappeared in the gray mist.

The little octopus could not even persist for one hundredth of a second before disintegrating and turning into ashes.

The breath, which had caused its death, was the Killer stunt of Little Tyrant.

The original big Purple Octopus was completely fine, but its breath dropped slightly; it had already escaped at this time.

"Roar…" I'm sorry. I got careless…

The dino lowered its head in apology. It felt very guilty for being unable to handle a bunch of emperor monsters.

"Don't worry. It's not your fault. These emperor monsters are much stronger than the ones outside," Su Bai shook his head, saying, "but you should still work hard to refine the undead origin in your body and also strive to evolve into a Purgatory Tyrant as soon as possible by advancing to the emperor level."

Now that the dino's Blighted Fireball skill had been boosted and it had nearly perfected its law of fire, the force of the dino's fireballs could be considered at the emperor grade.

Normally, emperor monsters that grew in the wild found it difficult to handle the fireballs, but the ten monsters earlier had done so relatively well. Their defenses were terrifyingly high, and to remain fine after being hit by the Blighted Fireball showed this.

They were not inferior to pets carefully cultivated by summoners. Even that octopus had a consummate life-saving skill, which was too unusual.

The monsters in the wild were under heavy pressure and fierce competition. Although many of them were high-level, they had varying degrees of defects. The pressure on survival made them unable to evolve perfectly.

Although they had rich combat experience and were fierce and cunning, they were far behind the pets carefully cultivated by humans.

After all, human beings cultivated their pets with the aim to evolve them perfectly.

Other than some monsters that had special encounters, wild monsters could hardly beat those pets cultivated by humans.

However, the ten monsters earlier were not inferior to the carefully cultivated pets by humans in all aspects. It appeared that this was one of the benefits of the Mist of Evolution.

It could make monsters evolve perfectly.

Ah Bai, don't worry. I feel like I'm not far from evolution. Little Tyrant showed a fierce look.

The elf collected the monsters' crystal nuclei and handed them to him. Those monsters were indeed very strong, and their aura of life was much stronger than normal.

"Indeed, we'll have to be more careful in the future."

Su Bai took the crystal nuclei and kept them, leaving one in his hand for careful observation. This crystal nucleus was larger than that of the average monster found in the wild, and it was also crystal clear.

[Mayfly Giant Mosquito's crystal nucleus. It contains the dark power of the poison attribute and of the corresponding law. This nucleus has a trace of evolutionary essence; the evolutionary essence can improve physical fitness, stimulate potential, and promote evolution.]

"Sure enough, this crystal nucleus contains the essence of evolution. It seems that this trip of ours to the Sea Abyss will be very dangerous." He kept the crystal nucleus and sighed.

The crystal nucleus also had the effect of promoting evolution; the monsters were the first to benefit from this fact, followed by the Pet Tamers.

It was not a good thing that the monsters here were stronger than average.

With Planet Eye hidden temporarily, he continued to explore the area. The further down they went, the more shocked he became.

Even before they reached the bottom of the Sea Abyss, almost all the monsters they encountered along the way were sovereigns.

It seemed that monsters here had also discovered the benefits of swallowing the crystal nuclei of others. The fighting here was more intense, such that slightly weaker monsters could not withstand it.

Coupled with the effect of the Mist of Evolution, especially at the bottom where the Mist of Evolution was thicker, the monsters were several levels higher.

We can't go any further, Ah Bai. I can feel several particularly powerful aura from below; they've definitely reached the immortal level.

After dropping about two-thirds of the distance, Little Blood Dragon reminded him.

"Alright, let's go back."

Su Bai also knew that he could not rush descending. It was too dangerous; at the very least, it would be dangerous to continue with his current strength.

He would wait for his strength to improve more before attempting to penetrate deeper into the abyss. For now, it was truly impractical to try and enter the Hidden Realm at the bottom.

Their return was very fast. It was not long before they reached the gathering place of the Giant Dragons.

During his lengthy exploration, the disciples established a basic line of defense. All detection instruments had been turned on, and everyone was paying attention to the surroundings.

Today, they were mainly getting a feel of this place. They would not start clearing the monsters until tomorrow.

He also reckoned that the cleaning operation would not be concluded quickly; it was destined to be very long and difficult.

"Senior brother, where did you go? A foreigner came over earlier." Ouyang Du quickly probed upon seeing that he was back.

"Foreigner? Did he say what the matter is?" Su Bai showed a trace of confusion.

"It seems that they came to suggest teaming up. The person said that they're contacting all the various forces' promising individuals to do something big," responded the other.

"Do something big?" He pondered for a moment and then shook his head. "Ignore that person. We have better things to do.

"By the way, is Fuyao Gymnasium near us?" he suddenly inquired.

He had a general idea on how to accomplish his goal, and as for other people's plans, if it was not particularly important, he would not bother participating.

"Yes, the gathering place of Fuyao isn't far from us. They sent someone to greet us earlier, too." Ouyang Du nodded.

"Good, then just strictly follow my previous plan. Han Wei, He Yu, and you are responsible for leading the other disciples. Please inform me if anything happens; just send me a message and I'll receive it." Su Bai nodded.

"Okay. Senior brother," Ouyang Du nodded quickly, asking, "are you going out again?"

"No, I'll be staying put today. I might go out tomorrow." He shook his head.

He thought that it was better to stay put and take care of important matters on the first day. He would find Chen Ruoxue tomorrow and then implement his strategy.

Apart from him, the elders who came to the Sea Abyss this time were heavenly king-level figures of several gyms, but these elders were only supervising and providing support. He and Zi Wuji, meanwhile, were still in charge of the disciples.

Su Bai sent a message to Chen Ruoxue about the situation and then went to eat lunch.

Just after lunch, when he was about to go out to explore, Zi Wuji brought an unknown woman over. This woman had white hair, pale skin, a high nose bridge, big eyes, and a considerably pretty face.

"Junior Brother Su, let me introduce this person to you. She's Chelsea from Europe and is Louis Clan's leader."

Zi Wuji pointed at Chelsea and introduced her with a smile. He looked very proud.

"Hello, Senior Brother Su. I'm Chelsea. I've long admired you."

Smiling, the woman reached out for a handshake.

"Hello. What's the matter?"

Su Bai glanced at Zi Wuji and then at the woman with a calm expression.

"You see, we found ruins and would like to invite you to explore the place with us. I wonder if you're interested?" Chelsea asked with a smile.

"Ruins? What's inside?" he asked curiously.

"According to our initial probing, very precious soul crystals can be found in the ruins. They can supplement our spiritual power. Besides the soul crystals, several evolutionary fruits and monster eggs may be found there," explained the woman.

"I see. Alright then. If I have time in three days, I'll go check it out."

Su Bai nodded, feeling quite interested in the monster eggs and also wanting to see the strength of other geniuses.

Upon hearing his reply, Chelsea showed a hint of joy and left him her contact information. "In three days' time, we'll gather at the entrance of those ruins."

"Okay. Junior Brother Su, we'll take our leave first." Zi Wuji looked at him and smiled.

Chelsea also smiled slightly as if waiting for Su Bai to invite her inside.

When he did not express anything, she smiled politely and left with Zi Wuji.

The two behaved very closely, talking and laughing all the way, and seemed to be discussing some business.

Zi Wuji appeared to be saying, "See this? Don't think that you're equal to me; in the eyes of outsiders, I'm the real successor of Yulong Gymnasium."

"Senior Brother Su, Louis Clan controls all the pharmacists in Europe and it's also a colossal existence. It seems that Zi Wuji has found a backer in her," Ouyang Du looked at the two people leaving and said.

He wanted to remind Su Bai that he could also fight for Chelsea and obtain more help by becoming close friends with that kind of character.

His current attitude made them quite worried.

"It doesn't matter. Let him do whatever he wants." Su Bai waved his hand, not interested in getting close to Chelsea.

"Okay." Ouyang Du smiled helplessly. This senior brother was really persistent to continue his way.

In the afternoon, Su Bai hunted monsters while he studied how he could extract the evolutionary essence from crystal nuclei.

Yulong Gymnasium had almost been the last group to arrive. With their arrival, the entire Sea Abyss had almost gathered all the major forces in the world.

The next morning, he had his breakfast and got ready to visit Fuyao Gymnasium so that he could meet up with Chen Ruoxue. Who knew that Han Wei would suddenly be injured by someone? News came back that she had fought with someone in a space crack and had gotten injured.

Just as he caught wind of this, He Yu came over. "Senior brother, the disciples reported that Han Wei got injured."

"I know. You can stay here to manage the disciples; I'll go see her situation." He nodded, stepping on Planet Eye and flying away directly.
