The next day,
"Did you succeed in advancing?"
The door of the battle room opened from the inside, and Jiang Yuntao hurried forward upon seeing Zhuang Jianbai walking out slowly.
"I succeeded."
Zhuang Jianbai smiled slightly, then nodded to Jiang Yuntao as a sign of respect, his expression sincere.
"Thank you for your help during this time, Teacher."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face: "That's good, that's good."
Then, he waved his hand: "Don't mention it.
As your teacher, I couldn't give you any substantial help.
Your current success is all due to your own efforts."
Recalling the hardships and difficulties Zhuang Jianbai had gone through, Jiang Yuntao's heart was filled with emotion.
Zhuang Jianbai had only contracted one pet beast so far, and all his gains and accumulations had been given to the Winterfell Hound.
The accumulation of ordinary tasks allowed Zhuang Jianbai to purchase the advancement conditions for the Winterfell Hound.
The Beastmaster Academy's "New Eagle Project" allowed him to obtain the daily breeding resources for the Winterfell Hound and an extremely precious level-three resource.
In addition, with the level-three resource obtained from winning the Taibai Cup, he finally collected the advancement resources for the Winterfell Hound.
At this moment, the Winterfell Hound finally successfully advanced to Commander, and its overall strength had been substantially improved.
"It's time for us to return to school.
Let's train hard for the next period to prepare for the first Beastmaster Competition in Qin Province."
"The scale of the Taibai Cup is still too small; it can only be regarded as a minor affair."
"The provincial competition, and even the first Donghuang Beastmaster Competition that is being planned, that is the moment for you to shine!" Jiang Yuntao said.
Zhuang Jianbai's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head: "Teacher, I would like to ask for two more days off."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuntao was taken aback, then, remembering something, stared at Zhuang Jianbai, his tone hesitant.
"Could it be that you want to—"
"Yes."
Zhuang Jianbai nodded, his gaze looking into the distance.
"After losing that battle, both Yan Dongquan and I were very unwilling."
"Now that we have become stronger, it's time to re-challenge."
"No matter the outcome, I must face him directly."
After hearing these words, Jiang Yuntao fell into a long silence, but when he met those determined eyes, he finally nodded helplessly: "I understand."
Losing to a Gale Hound without a Beastmaster had already made Zhuang Jianbai and Winterfell Hound very unwilling.
But after that extremely wonderful performance match, Zhuang Jianbai unknowingly changed his challenge target from the Gale Hound to that consultant Chen Yuan.
Defeat him!
Defeat his strongest pet beast with his own strongest pet beast!
At this moment, the Winterfell Hound successfully advanced.
Even against the attributes, they have the capital and courage to fight against the attributes.
This time, he will do his best.
So, Zhuang Jianbai, the first champion of the Taibai Cup, declined all invitations, large and small, and went to Xuanhe Village with Jiang Yuntao.
It was afternoon when they arrived at Xuanhe Village.
After inquiring, they came to that farm.
Walking to the gate, Zhuang Jianbai suddenly became nervous.
He stood in place, took a deep breath, and only after his pounding heart gradually calmed down did he step forward.
"Ka ~"
Tie Touwa first shook his head, then called out a few times towards the courtyard.
The figure of Run Run Duck quickly appeared.
It first poked its head out and glanced at the outside of the farm, then swaggered into the hall.
After a while,
Chen Weiyi walked out quickly.
Zhuang Jianbai said again: "Sorry to bother you, we are here to find Consultant Chen Yuan."
"I recognize you."
Chen Weiyi stared at Zhuang Jianbai for a while, then said with a smile, "You are that champion, right?
I watched your game, it was wonderful."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Zhuang Jianbai smiled slightly, then asked politely, "Is Consultant Chen Yuan at home?"
"No, Monday and Tuesday are his days for patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests."
Chen Weiyi squinted at the sky and said slowly, "But looking at the time, he should be back soon."
"He really is a forest ranger..."
Jiang Yuntao muttered to himself.
He thought that the forest ranger was just Chen Yuan's disguise on the surface, but he didn't expect him to be seriously fulfilling this duty.
"Thank you."
Zhuang Jianbai nodded.
"Then I'll wait for him outside."
"Why stand outside?"
Chen Weiyi pulled the two into the farm.
"Come in and have a cup of hot tea and wait slowly."
"Then we'll bother you."
The two spoke at the same time.
Walking into the farm, Zhuang Jianbai kept his body tense from beginning to end, not looking sideways.
On the contrary, Jiang Yuntao looked left and right, chatting with Chen Weiyi from time to time.
The spiritual plants in the fields next to the courtyard aroused Jiang Yuntao's strong interest.
He walked slowly and asked Chen Weiyi about the situation: "Does Consultant Chen Yuan also cultivate spiritual plants?"
"These trees..."
"He usually takes care of them, I don't pay much attention."
"Before I knew it, they had grown so tall."
Jiang Yuntao looked at the trees in front of him, as well as the vibrant saplings and shoots, and was secretly shocked.
Cultivating spiritual plants has always been an important research content for research students.
How to make spiritual plants germinate smoothly, how to make spiritual plants grow healthily, and how to make spiritual plants mature are all research problems.
If Chen Yuan can cultivate the remaining dozen or so saplings and spiritual plants to maturity, with his ability, it would be more than enough for him to be a lecturer at the Research Academy.
"As expected of an association consultant, he not only knows how to train and cultivate pet beasts, but also how to cultivate spiritual plants."
Jiang Yuntao exclaimed sincerely.
Chen Weiyi poured hot tea for the two.
Jiang Yuntao quickly took the teacup: "You're too polite."
Chen Weiyi replied with a smile: "You are all guests, it's only right."
During the conversation, the little fellows in the farm occasionally passed by the hall, casting curious glances at the two strangers.
"Are there so many pet beasts in your farm?"
Jiang Yuntao asked in surprise.
Chen Weiyi chuckled: "He picked them up from outside and simply kept them on the farm."
"Ga Ga Ga!"
When Run Run Duck heard this, it immediately bent its wings, resting them on its waist, making a hip-crossing posture, and retorted.
Duck Duck, I came here on my own!
Chen Weiyi ignored Run Run Duck, turned his head to look at Jiang Yuntao, and asked aloud: "Do you have anything to do here?"
Jiang Yuntao glanced at Zhuang Jianbai, thought for a moment, and explained slowly: "Old man, it's like this, my student wants to have a pet beast battle with Consultant Chen Yuan."
Chen Weiyi nodded suddenly: "So that's how it is, no wonder you came all the way here."
After a pause, he smiled: "This young man is a champion, let my boy give way to him then."
"I usually don't see him having pet beast battles with other Beastmasters."
"Oh, there was a performance match that day."
"But performance matches are definitely performance-oriented, so they can't be taken seriously."
Hearing these words, Jiang Yuntao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and even Zhuang Jianbai, who didn't know what he was thinking, was stunned.
Who exactly is letting who?
As dusk approached,
Chen Yuan finally returned to his farm gate before sunset.
"Hoo, finally home."
Chen Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
As usual, this patrol also took two days.
After saying goodbye to the Flame Tail Fox and the Frost Ice Fox, he walked along the patrol route while drawing a map.
He arrived at the ranger's hut at night, and no accidents occurred in the middle.
On the contrary, the Electric Flying Cat lived up to expectations and found a level-two spiritual plant with its keen sense of smell.
Early this morning, he went to check the situation of the mysterious forest as usual, and there was nothing unusual.
After that, he went down the mountain and went home.
"Yinyin ~"
The Twin Flower Concubine sat on Chen Yuan's shoulder, gently waving her petal-shaped palms.
Bringing the Twin Flower Concubine into the mountain was undoubtedly the right choice.
It directly attracted many wild pet beasts to come closer, allowing Chen Yuan to touch and touch.
"Ka ~"
The dutiful Tie Touwa saw Chen Yuan coming back and hurried forward, extending its paw and pointing to the courtyard.
"Oh? Are there guests?"
Chen Yuan looked puzzled.
Who would come to the farm?
Zhang Hao?
No, Zhang Hao doesn't need Tie Touwa to notify him specifically when he comes.
But the other people he knew were quite far from Xuanhe Village, and they would definitely tell him before coming to the farm.
Walking into the farm and arriving at the courtyard, Chen Yuan saw a somewhat familiar figure.
"Zhuang Jianbai?"
When he was in the gymnasium, Chen Yuan had watched Zhuang Jianbai's pet beast battle live, and he had some impression of his appearance.
It's just that he had no impression of the middle-aged man next to Zhuang Jianbai.
Jiang Yuntao quickly stood up and extended his right hand: "Hello, I am Jiang Yuntao, a lecturer at Yunhua Beastmaster Academy.
I'm really sorry for coming uninvited this time."
This was the first time Zhuang Jianbai had seen his "inner demon" up close.
His heart suddenly beat wildly, and his nerves tensed in an instant.
He stood up, tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and nodded: "Hello, I am Zhuang Jianbai, a student at Yunhua Beastmaster Academy."
"I know you."
Chen Yuan looked at Zhuang Jianbai and smiled, "The champion of this year's Taibai Cup, congratulations."
He didn't watch the finals yesterday because there was no signal on the mountain.
But when he went down the mountain earlier, he took the time to watch the recording of the finals.
Zhuang Jianbai won the championship as expected.
Looking at Chen Yuan congratulating him, Zhuang Jianbai quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I was just lucky."
After a slight pause, he mustered his courage and stared at Chen Yuan, who was close at hand. Just as he was about to get down to business, he saw a familiar figure running over from not far away.
Back at the farm, Coke's first instinct was to find Runrun Duck to play with, but before long, a sense of hunger arose, and Coke had no choice but to trot back to its owner.
"Woof!"
But when Coke clearly saw the familiar figure standing in front of its owner, its eyes widened and its thoughts raced.
Oh no!
He's finally here to complain!
Recalling how it had brutally beaten up his pet, Coke felt a sense of foreboding and quickly bit onto Chen Yuan's trouser leg, trying to drag him away.
Master! Don't listen to his nonsense!
Let's go! Let's go!
At the same time,
appeared.
That Gale Hound that could defeat him without the need for a Beastmaster's command.
At this moment, a storm raged in Zhuang Jianbai's heart.
But after winning the Taibai Cup championship, after Yan Dongquan successfully advanced, and after preparing himself psychologically time and time again, his mentality was no longer what it used to be.
Therefore, he quickly recovered his composure, looked at Chen Yuan, and asked, "Consultant Chen Yuan, would you like to have a pet battle with me?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhuang Jianbai suddenly felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and his originally tense nerves relaxed.
Chen Yuan calmed Coke down and looked up at Zhuang Jianbai: "Pet battle?"
"Yes." A carefree smile appeared on Zhuang Jianbai's face, his eyes full of confidence. "Your Gale Hound defeated me without any command, and I couldn't accept it, so I've been thinking about it for a long, long time."
"Now, I have finally stood before you and have the courage to challenge you."
"Please send out your strongest pet, and I will also send out my strongest pet. Let's have a pet battle."
His gaze was fiery as he stared directly at Chen Yuan.
"Woof woof..."
After hearing this, Coke gently wagged its fluffy tail.
So he's not here to complain.
So he wants to fight Big Sister!
"I understand." Chen Yuan smiled slightly. "Then let's do it."
"Let's have a battle between the strongest pets."
After Spark successfully advanced, it was difficult for the wild pets in the nearby area to put pressure on it. Only the Earth Bear, when using [Bear's Strength], could confront it head-on.
Spark needed a hearty battle.
Zhuang Jianbai, the first Taibai Cup champion, was the most suitable opponent.
"Let's go outside. There's an open space nearby," Chen Yuan said, looking around.
A battle between Tier 2 pets could already cause some damage to the terrain, and Chen Yuan was unwilling to damage the yard.
Before long,
the group arrived at an open space not far away.
Even Electric Flying Cat and Runrun Duck followed along to join in the fun. Although Iron Head Kid really wanted to come and cheer for Big Sister, after struggling in his heart, he felt that the more special the occasion, the more he had to stick to his post.
With everyone gone, the inside of the farm was empty, and he had to be even more vigilant.
The two stood on the left and right sides of the open space, facing each other from a distance.
There was no referee in this pet battle, nor was one needed.
The two exchanged a glance, and at the same moment, white summoning arrays appeared on the ground in front of them, and two figures wrapped in white light appeared simultaneously.
"Woof!"
The sturdy Winter Hound stepped out of the white summoning array with steady steps. Its thick, snow-white fur covered its entire body, with irregular patterns of light blue stripes. Its limbs, stepping on the ground, emitted wisps of cold air, and its blue eyes stared ahead.
"Quack quack quack ~"
For a moment, Runrun Duck's eyes widened.
It feels so powerful, quack.
"Woof woof!"
Coke shook his head.
Just a defeated opponent!
But when Coke carefully examined this Winter Hound, whose appearance had undergone subtle changes and whose aura was obviously stronger, it felt a little apprehensive.
"Chirp!"
Spark spread its wings and flew into the air, its orange-yellow body covered with flame patterns, its slender tail flickering with flames, and sparks falling from its flapping wings.
"Electric!"
Go Big Sister!
"Whine whine ~"
The Twin Flower concubine stood on Chen Yuan's shoulder, waving her palms.
However, when Chen Yuan and Zhuang Jianbai looked at the pets opposite them, a thought flashed through their minds at the same time: "Advanced?"
When the size and appearance change, it is only possible to advance.
"Has anyone uploaded the elite to leader advancement conditions for the Flame Cloud Falcon yet?" Jiang Yuntao was stunned.
As a lecturer at the Beastmaster Academy, he was familiar with the advancement conditions of most pets, and he would log in to the Beastmaster's official website every night to check for any new advancement conditions.
The Flame Cloud Falcon advancing to leader was not good news for the Winter Hound.
At this moment,
Zhuang Jianbai's eyes narrowed, his thoughts connected to the Winter Hound, and the man and pet stood back to back: "Winter Hound, Cold Breath."
"Woof!"
The Winter Hound raised its head and roared, opened its mouth wide, and suddenly spewed out a fierce, cold breath, blowing from left to right!
In an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the cold breath began to condense frost at an alarming rate. Then, the frost spread rapidly in all directions, freezing the ground!
Having advanced to leader, the Winter Hound produced a significant change when using [Cold Breath] again, and was now able to change the terrain.
If an opponent wanted to run on the frozen ground, they might slip and fall.
Everyone is watching carefully!
But the Winter Hound's claws were deeply embedded in the frozen ground, and it was not affected.
The little ones felt the approaching cold and quickly retreated.
"Flame Storm."
Seeing the cold breath approaching layer by layer, about to threaten Spark flying in the air, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he issued the command.
"Chirp!"
In the next moment, Spark's eyes flashed with bright flames, and it flapped its wings violently. Flames gathered from all directions and instantly converged into two flame storms!
The flame storms, one on the left and one on the right, churned and rotated rapidly, while carrying hot winds and heat waves, with scorching temperatures, head-on against the cold breath!
Under the gaze of the little ones, the flame storm ruthlessly melted the cold breath, and the frost that had frozen the ground disappeared.
"Quack quack!"
Big Sister is invincible!
However, the flame storm did not stop its momentum, but continued to attack the Winter Hound at an extremely fast speed, one on the left and one on the right.
The moment the flame storm appeared, Zhuang Jianbai had a response: "Go through the middle."
The Winter Hound's eyes were stern, it lowered its body, and suddenly darted out, running wildly on the ground.
It was getting closer and closer to the flame storm, and it could clearly feel bursts of heat waves rushing towards it. The scorching temperature made its body uncomfortable, and bright flames were reflected in its blue eyes.
"Woof!"
The Winter Hound did not retreat, but suddenly jumped up, leaping over the widest gap between the two flame storms.
Even so, it was still scorched by clusters of weak flames, and sparks fell on its body.
But the Winter Hound ignored it, maintaining its jumping posture, getting closer and closer to the Flame Cloud Falcon in the air.
"Now is the time, Ice Crack Claw!" Zhuang Jianbai's eyes flashed with excitement, trying to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuntao clapped his hands and shouted.
Obviously, the moment Zhuang Jianbai saw the flame storm, he did not think about retreating, but instead tried to turn defense into offense, passing through the gap in the flame storm while approaching the Flame Cloud Falcon and launching a fatal blow.
"Woof woof!"
"Quack quack!"
"Electric!"
Seeing Jiang Yuntao's reaction, the little ones were very dissatisfied, and glared at him one by one.
In mid-air,
the Winter Hound, having jumped in front of Spark, had a fierce look in its eyes, raised its claws high, condensed cold air, and slashed at Spark's wings with its shimmering white light!
At this critical moment, Spark did not need Chen Yuan's command, and had already responded.
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by a scream, Spark twisted its body, first skillfully avoiding the first attack, and then sparks rolled in its mouth, and a surging fire pillar suddenly erupted!
At the same time, taking advantage of Spark's gathering of flames, the Winter Hound swung its Ice Crack Claw again at the last instant before landing, grabbing Spark's left wing, and a burst of cold air spread instantly.
Bang!
In the next second, the surging fire pillar devoured the Winter Hound, completely engulfing it.
Thump!
The Winter Hound fell heavily to the ground, and after a while, shook its head and slowly got up: "Woof!"
Being hit by [Flame Surge] at close range, the Winter Hound, as an ice-type pet, had its condition drastically reduced, and its stamina was in critical condition.
It was only a little bit away from being instantly killed.
This was obviously bad news.
Seeing the Winter Hound being severely injured, the little ones cheered instantly.
Zhuang Jianbai glanced at the Winter Hound's injuries, and frowned slightly.
Every subsequent confrontation would be like dancing on the tip of a knife.
"What about the Flame Cloud Falcon?"
Zhuang Jianbai raised his eyes to look at the Flame Cloud Falcon.
The Winter Hound used Ice Crack Claw to hit the Flame Cloud Falcon at the last moment. What was the effect?
Looking up, he saw that the Flame Cloud Falcon's left wing was covered by a biting cold air. Zhuang Jianbai said with relief: "Fortunately, it caused damage to it..."
However, in the next moment, the Flame Cloud Falcon flapped its wings violently, and a stream of flames rose up and down its body, flowing everywhere, constantly churning.
The cold air disappeared in an instant in the face of extremely high temperatures.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Jianbai's voice stopped abruptly.
Jiang Yuntao frowned: "Does it have such strong fire energy?"
This Flame Cloud Falcon, whether in terms of physical fitness or skill proficiency, was obviously much better than the Winter Hound.
Coupled with the natural attribute advantage, could the Winter Hound really win by reversing the attributes?
Was it going to be another empty sorrow?
If he continued to fail, would his proud student's Dao heart collapse because of this?
Although the battle wasn't over, Jiang Yuntao had already begun to think about how to comfort Zhuang Jianbai, who had once again been defeated.
Zhuang Jianbai was also well aware that his Frostwind Hound was in dire straits after the first exchange, but he tried his best to remain calm, his eyes flashing as he continued to issue commands: "Ice Cone Barrage!"
"Woof!"
The Frostwind Hound was in poor condition, but its momentum was unusually high. It raised its head to stare at the Flamecloud Falcon in mid-air, roaring in fury. Instantly, sharp ice cones gathered around it, whistling towards the Flamecloud Falcon in rapid succession!
"Flame Energy Rush," Chen Yuan's voice echoed in Firefly's mind.
Against this kind of attack, dodging was just a waste of time.
The proficient-level Flame Energy Rush was enough to melt everything.
"Chirp!"
Firefly first flew upwards, and when it reached a certain height, it suddenly turned around, locking onto the Frostwind Hound on the ground. Its body "whooshed" as it erupted in raging flames, its momentum soaring. Without dodging or yielding, it charged head-on!
Midway,
the continuous ice cones tried to hit Firefly, but before they could get close, they were melted by the raging flames covering Firefly's body.
In an instant, the ice cones disappeared completely, not hindering Firefly's charging speed in the slightest. The distance between the two pet beasts rapidly closed.
"Woof!"
Blazing light erupted, and the heatwave scorched its thick fur. Alarm bells rang in the Frostwind Hound's mind, and a step back narrowly avoided Firefly's fatal blow!
Flames surged, and a large pit appeared on the ground where the Frostwind Hound had just been standing, with black smoke rising from it.
"Ice Pillar Smash!"
"Woof!"
The Frostwind Hound roared, tilting its head back. Instead of retreating, it chose to launch an attack proactively in this critical moment.
A sharp ice pillar instantly rose from the ground in front of it, stabbing towards the Flamecloud Falcon directly ahead!
At this moment, the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth slightly lifted: "Firefly, Flame Energy Rush."
"Chirp!"
Firefly spread its wings, and surging heatwaves clung to its body, a cluster of flames rising from its slender tail.
Suddenly, a blazing light erupted, and heatwaves surged forward, instantly melting the rising ice pillar. Then, a figure charged forward!
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuntao's pupils shrank, and he thought inwardly that things were bad.
Faced with this extremely high temperature, the ice pillar was instantly melted, which caused the Frostwind Hound's attack to crumble in an instant.
Ice Rend Claw couldn't damage it, Ice Cone Barrage and Ice Pillar Smash couldn't stop its charge.
Then how could this Flamecloud Falcon be dealt with?
Could it be that Ice-type pet beasts really couldn't defeat Fire-type pet beasts?
Or was it because this Flamecloud Falcon's strength was terrifyingly strong?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he saw the Frostwind Hound trying to raise its claws to block the charging Flamecloud Falcon, but the boundless flames had already engulfed it, submerging it.
The Frostwind Hound could only watch as the滔滔 firelight occupied its entire vision, and the painful burning sensation spread throughout every part of its body, causing it to let out a miserable scream: "Woof!"
The next moment, everything went black before its eyes, and it lost consciousness.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Zzt zzt zzt!"
"Gaa gaa gaa!"
"Whine whine!"
The little guys became excited when they saw the Frostwind Hound fall to the ground, their excited cries rising and falling.
Big Sister is invincible!
Big Sister is mighty!
"Lost..."
Seeing the Frostwind Hound close its eyes and fall to the ground, Zhuang Jianbai's face turned incredibly pale with a "whoosh", his pupils constantly trembling, and his whole body swayed slightly.
At this moment, he just stared at the Frostwind Hound, his lips moving, but he didn't say a word.
At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing the plot develop as he had predicted, a trace of worry flashed in Jiang Yuntao's eyes, and he quickly walked to Zhuang Jianbai's side, and said softly: "Treat the Frostwind Hound first."
"Mm," Zhuang Jianbai hummed softly, ran to the fallen Frostwind Hound, squatted down, and took out a healing ointment.
"Woof."
When the icy cold ointment was applied to its body, the Frostwind Hound slowly opened its eyes. Seeing its master healing it, it lowered its head and let out a guilty cry.
Zhuang Jianbai carefully applied the ointment to the Frostwind Hound. When he heard the Frostwind Hound's cry, when he clearly saw the scorched thick fur, his heart gradually calmed down.
They had tried their best.
It was just that the opponent was too strong to defeat, unbeatable.
At this moment, many scenes flashed through his mind like a slideshow—picking up the dying Frostwind Hound on a night of torrential rain; the joy of working hard and defeating the first opponent with the Frostwind Hound; standing on the stage of the Taibai Cup finals with the Frostwind Hound, winning the championship amidst cheers.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's continue to work hard in the future," Zhuang Jianbai gently stroked the Frostwind Hound's head, comforting him softly.
"Woof."
The Frostwind Hound raised its head, its blue eyes glanced at Zhuang Jianbai, and then affectionately rubbed his hands with its head, its tail gently wagging.
After a while,
Zhuang Jianbai retracted the Frostwind Hound into the pet space, took a deep breath, quickly stood up, and walked quickly towards Chen Yuan on the opposite side.
Jiang Yuntao suddenly became nervous.
But under Jiang Yuntao's gaze, Zhuang Jianbai took the initiative to extend his right hand, and a shallow smile appeared on his face: "Consultant Chen Yuan, I am not your opponent."
After a slight pause, his smile became even brighter: "But I will work hard and strive to defeat you next time."
"For this goal, I and the Frostwind Hound will train hard after we go back."
"We... see you at the first Qin Province Pet Master Competition."
Jiang Yuntao rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that this was his student.
He clearly hadn't overcome his "inner demon."
Jiang Yuntao suddenly raised his head and muttered: "No, he has already overcome his inner demon."
"I look forward to it," Chen Yuan smiled slightly, then changed the subject, "But I won't participate in the competition you mentioned."
A strong confidence appeared in Zhuang Jianbai's eyes: "Then I will challenge you as the champion of the first Qin Province Pet Master Competition."
Chen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly: "I'll wait for you."
There was no more conversation. Although Chen Weiyi asked the two to stay for dinner, Zhuang Jianbai and Jiang Yuntao still chose to leave.
"Actually, if you had chosen to challenge that Gale Hunting Hound, you might have won."
On the car, Jiang Yuntao suddenly spoke.
Zhuang Jianbai shook his head: "Teacher, if I can't defeat his strongest pet beast, then it will be meaningless."
Jiang Yuntao nodded, and then sighed: "It's not your fault, that Flamecloud Falcon is very, very strong. I estimate that even the genius pet masters from the Pet Master Academy headquarters would find it tricky."
"In the words of you young people, this Flamecloud Falcon's strength is currently in the first echelon, and it is difficult to encounter opponents."
"Yes, ah." Recalling the previous battle, Zhuang Jianbai suddenly felt extremely dangerous.
The advanced Frostwind Hound was almost killed in one blow. If it were the pre-advanced Frostwind Hound, it probably wouldn't have lasted ten seconds.
During the battle, the Flamecloud Falcon's powerful strength made him and the Frostwind Hound feel like they were dancing on the tip of a knife. A slight mistake would be seized and directly defeated.
But the Flamecloud Falcon had enough fault tolerance. Frost Breath was easily crushed by Flame Storm, Ice Rend Claw couldn't cause damage to it, and the remaining two skills couldn't stop its attack. This was a complete and thorough crush in all aspects.
At the moment of defeat earlier, Zhuang Jianbai felt a strong sense of despair, as if facing an unbeatable demon king, completely shrouded in his shadow.
But the gap like a natural chasm made Zhuang Jianbai understand: it's not that he and the Frostwind Hound didn't work hard, it's just that the opponent was too strong to defeat.
Yes, it's not their fault, they have already worked hard.
"By the way, teacher, what echelon do you think I belong to?" Zhuang Jianbai tilted his head to look at Jiang Yuntao, his eyes full of curiosity.
"You ah..." Jiang Yuntao looked at Zhuang Jianbai and pondered for a moment, then smiled, "You in the morning belonged to the second echelon, but the current you..."
"Will soon be the first echelon."
Zhuang Jianbai asked in confusion: "Teacher, why is that?"
Jiang Yuntao patted Zhuang Jianbai's shoulder, his eyes filled with gratification: "Because you have overcome your inner demon."
"Your inner demon, from beginning to end, is not Chen Yuan, but yourself."
"Myself?" Zhuang Jianbai lowered his eyes and muttered.
"Yes," Jiang Yuntao smiled, "From the moment you faced failure, you have conquered yourself."
"From now on, you will become stronger."
"Let's go back, we should prepare well for the upcoming competition."
"The Taibai Cup champion is just your starting point."
