Chapter 146: Take A Leaf From His Book

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Smiling gently, Su Bai summoned the contract book and released the cub, which looked around and glanced at him in dissatisfaction. “What are you doing? Why are you always disturbing my dreams?”

At the side, Chen Rouxue was stunned for a while before she caressed Purple Jade’s head. “Wow, is this what a Sanctuary Wood Spirit looks like? It’s so adorable and beautiful.”

Although the cub’s appearance had changed drastically, she could still easily guess it.

“Howl!”

The cub struggled a bit but eventually succumbed to the girl’s gentle touch. She was a qualified stroker.

“It’s a pity that I’m wearing a skirt today, or else I can have ridden on the cub. I really want to feel how it’s like to sit on its back.”

Chen Rouxue caressed the cub and spoke regretfully.

“It’s all your fault!”

She glared at her boyfriend.

Su Bai: ???

He could be blamed for everything.

“If not for me being on a date with you, I wouldn’t have worn a skirt,” she said.

Su Bai: “…”

He really wanted to say that she would not have seen the cub if they were not on a date.

However, upon thinking about it, he decided not to say it.

It was well known that girls were unreasonable, so there would not be a good result by arguing.

“Let’s go.”

He exhaled.

After calling a flying bird service, he first went to Liu Xinghe’s recommended White Beard Pawnshop.

Although Hou Jie could also help him settle it, that would still be troublesome for her, so he decided to deal with it here directly.

The shopkeeper was still that old man with a white beard, and the person receiving the goods for inspection was still that girl in black, Zhou Ling’an.

“Is this your girlfriend?” Zhou Ling’an glanced curiously at Chen Rouxue.

She admired Su Bai for making such great progress despite having a girlfriend.

“Yes, let’s settle the account quickly,” he said, not intending to introduce his girlfriend.

“It’s a total of 23,000,000 yuan. Do I transfer it to the previous account?” asked Zhou Ling’an.

“Yes, please do so.” Su Bai nodded. Both he and Chen Rouxue could use the money in that account, so it did not matter whose account it was.

…

“Let’s go; we can go shopping now.”

Chen Rouxue exited the pawnshop and grinned.

“Let’s go.” He nodded. Having spent more than a month in the wilderness, it was necessary to go shopping and relax.

After strolling on the streets in the morning, they returned to Azure Dragon Mound together in the afternoon.

Su Bai bought a lot of spiritual plants and fruits in the morning to make medicinal cakes for the pets. Chen Rouxue also made medicinal cakes for them according to his instructions. Her knowledge and practical skills in potions were not bad, but she rarely did anything in front of her boyfriend and mainly assisted him.

Once the medicinal cakes were completed, she stretched and leaned into his arms. “Ah, it’s finally over. I’m going out to play with Purple Jade.”

Before he could hug her, she giggled and left the laboratory.

When Su Bai came out, she was combing the cub’s fur as it napped comfortably on the carpet.

“Hehehe!”

Big Demon was wearing a scary face beside her, trying to attract her attention.

“Have you been to the Scarlet Wilderness recently?” asked Su Bai.

“Haven’t we agreed on reviewing for the upcoming professional Pet Tamer exam? We only have a single chance every year; it’ll be a huge loss for us if we fail.

“I think even that, even if you’re confident, you should wait until the exam is over before going on an adventure. If you can’t make it back in time from the monster wilderness because of an accident, won’t it be regretful?” reasoned Chen Rouxue.

Su Bai was silent for a moment before he finally shook his head. “You’re right. Let’s obtain a professional Pet Tamer certificate safely. With it, we can enter the monster wilderness as we wish; it’ll be much freer.”

A month’s time was not too long, and they had just left the Chinese Redbud Wilderness, so it was indeed not suitable to take risks anymore. For now, it was better to digest their gains and turn them into strength.

“That’s right. Let’s not be too anxious. We still have time; we’re not in a hurry to take risks or anything.”

Chen Rouxue smiled.

Nodding, Su Bai picked up a monster illustration book to read.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Monday. Su Bai rode his electric scooter to school without any pets by his side.

The cub and the dino were a little large and were not suitable to be released in school. Since the Mewling Fox had followed the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox to practice, Su Bai was now a lonely person in school.

However, he always attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered school. It was not only because he was handsome but also because of his strength. With his and Chen Rouxue’s strength, they had brought their school to an unprecedented height and now had ringing reputations among the students.

Many students enthusiastically greeted him inside the classroom, admiring him to no end.

Shi Lei, who had been very petty with him initially, remained silent at this moment. Similarly, Guo Dong, who saw Su Bai as his target, also had mixed feelings inside.

When an opponent surpassed them a bit, one would be more unconvinced and jealous, but when they surpassed you by a world of difference, all that was left was bitterness.

“This is for you; I cooked it myself!”

Chen Rouxue handed him a cup of eight-treasure porridge and a steamed bun, smiling expectantly.

“Wow! It’s delicious.”

Su Bai took a bite and praised.

“Hehe! I whipped it up casually.”

Chen Rouxue giggled.

“Class monitor, how could you say that you whipped it up casually? You’re trying to cheat him; you obviously came fully prepared. Are you trying to cheat us who have been single dogs for more than ten years? How could you? It’s no good; I advise that you behave yourself, reflect carefully, and stop playing such small tricks!” Yang Zhou said solemnly.

Chen Rouxue was speechless.

“Young man, be careful that I don’t hit you.” Su Bai glared at his friend, twisting his wrist playfully.

“Hey, let’s go. It’s half past seven; we have to gather at the field. The field is yours to pretend-play with this morning,” quickly said Yang Zhou with a smile.

Su Bai: “…”

Chen Rouxue: “…This is called an awards ceremony; please use proper words.”

More leaders than before were present on the rostrum today, and all their faces were full of smiles.

After nagging about a bunch of nonsense, which the students automatically tuned out, the principal smiled and talked about the results of the five schools’ joint examination. “I presume that everyone here knows that the first, second, third, and fourth places in the five schools’ joint examination are all from our school. Our biggest contributors this time were the two first-graders, Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue. Their strength has even surpassed some teachers. Please welcome these two to the stage with warm applause.”

As soon as he spoke, some fighting scenes of the two were shown on the big screen behind.

The first and second graders who originally felt quite vague about it all sucked in a deep breath upon seeing the scenes, making a great contribution to global warming.

If they hadn’t mentioned this was Su Bai’s fighting scenes, they wouldn’t even believe it.

He was obviously the same age, but how could Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue become so strong?

Especially Su Bai, who had two warlord pets. Was this humanly possible?

Moreover, the loftiness they exuded when devising strategies against their four opponents was also something they did not have. It was vigor present only in high-level Pet Tamers.

“Student Su Bai, do you have any comments on your win?” the dean asked with a smile.

“Erm, there is nothing to say. I originally did not want to participate, I am just bullying them by fighting them,” Su Bai said after thinking about it.

The dean: “…”

He panicked a little and quickly glanced at Chen Ruoxue, changing his approach. “Student Chen Ruoxue, can you release your pet and use a skill to show everyone how strong it is?”

“Erm… Alright!” Chen Ruoxue hesitated for a while but still released the Big Demon.

“Hehehe!”

The Big Demon Xiao Bai let out a sinister laughter, and a terrifying dark power erupted all over its body. It condensed a Shadow Energy Ball, which grew to one meter big in an instant.

“Hehe!”

The Big Demon let out a cry and raised its hand to throw the energy ball into the sky. In an instant, the entire field darkened, and cold power engulfed the audience, making everyone feel a sense of deep fear.

It was so strong!

It was so strong that they did not even have the desire to resist.

At this time, a green light struck, and the black canopy melted like ice and snow under the green light. Everyone suddenly felt refreshed under the faint green spiritual power.

When they looked up, they saw a white figure submerged in Su Bai’s contract book.

But that silent and mysterious method still left a deep impression in everyone’s hearts.

However, the teachers standing beside Su Bai were the most shocked. They had clearly seen the evolved appearance of the purple-eyed cub, it simply looked terrifying.

“Next, I’ll invite Chen Tingting and Guo Dong onstage… Please come onstage to receive your rewards from the principal.”

The award ceremony ended soon and everyone stepped off the stage.

Chen Tingting went over to hug Chen Ruoxue. “Thank you so much for helping us win so effortlessly.”

“Haha, I already said this is all your own effort! It has nothing to do with us.” Chen Ruoxue smiled kindly.

On the other side, Guo Dong also took a deep breath and walked over to Su Bai. He nodded at him and said, “Thank you. I admit that you’re indeed much better than me and more suitable for Ruoxue, but I still won’t give up.”

“No need to thank me; I didn’t intend on helping you. It’s all based on your luck.” Su Bai shrugged.

He rather admired Guo Dong but found him quite annoying because he was always after his girlfriend.

However, he had never thought of dealing with the latter using despicable means. It was completely unnecessary, for Guo Dong could not snatch Chen Ruoxue away. The relationship between him and her was far from what the boy imagined.

“Sigh. I am so envious.” Yang Zhou smiled bitterly.

“Same here. So envious.” Jiang Yang held Su Bai’s certificate and groaned.

“Don’t be envious; just work harder. I told the head teacher that we’ll give you the spots to enter the wilderness, so there should be no problem,” he said, patting their shoulders.

“Yes, you two can do it! There are still many opportunities.”

Chen Rouxue smiled.

Since they already had means of entering the wilderness, they made best use of their reward as first and second places by giving the spots to their friends.

The two were stunned and unable to react for a long time upon hearing this. When they finally looked up to thank them, they realized that the two had already gone far away.

“Let’s work harder to catch up to them.” Chen Tingting also smiled.

The two exchanged glances and nodded fiercely.

At the school office building in the principal’s office.

“This is the reward I promised, the basic Pet Tamer skills; choose one yourself.”

The principal said with a smile.

Nodding, Su Bai opened the box first to see a dark green stone lying inside. He recognized it as a wooden relic.

Some pure wood monsters died in places with very strong spiritual power, resulting in its crystal nucleus remaining intact. Instead, it would continue absorbing spiritual power, profound meaning, and laws. After a long time, a wooden relic would be formed. The longer the time, the more effective the wooden relic.

This one was only two hundred years old.

He picked it up and turned to look at Chen Ruoxue’s box. An ordinary netherstone was inside; it was nothing special.

He opened his contract book and placed the wooden relic inside. It soon turned into a green light that melted into his contract book, which shone brightly and slowly developed two more blank pages. Its level was also officially promoted to three-stars, just a step away from becoming a gold contract book.

The same thing happened to Chen Ruoxue, who used the Netherstone to successfully advance her contract book to three-stars.

They then looked at the Pet Tamer skills.

There were not many Pet Tamer skills, and no attack aspect was found. Most of them were for self-protective, support, or escape, which was incomparable with the pet skills.

“I want this protective color skill.”

Su Bai picked the protective color skill which could help him blend in with the surrounding environment, such that he was unnoticeable.

The effect of this skill was not very good, but other skills were similar. After all, they were only meant for junior Pet Tamers, so it was impossible for them to be divinely strong.

“I want this fantasy exemption skill,” Chen Ruoxue said.

The fantasy exemption skill could prevent some fantasies after being cast but had no effect on advanced attacks and control skills.

It was still considered a good skill.

However, since Su Bai had the Dragon Soul bond skill, he was not afraid of fantasies and did not choose it.

“Okay, wait a minute; I’ll call someone to bring it over.” The principal nodded with a smile and picked up the phone.

…

“Are you satisfied?”

On the way back to the classroom, Chen Ruoxue asked with a smile.

“I did not expect to reach this point in just six months, that is, only half a year!” Su Bai exclaimed with a smile.

Although he still lagged behind those who had been receiving professional training in the alliance since young, his development was still adequate.

“Let’s continue working hard. Once we obtain a professional Pet Tamer certificate, we can finally see what the real world of Pet Tamers is like.”

He looked up at the sky.

His main goal next was to obtain a professional license and become a full-fledged Pet Tamer.
