Chapter 494: Chapter 489: Hey there, have you finished your winter vacation homework?

"I lost again."

Looking at his completely scattered Eight Pets, Gu Shan stayed silent for a moment before conceding his failure.

Although it was rather embarrassing that he couldn't even beat Bai Qi's unofficial pet beast, his education under Bai Tongchen taught him the value of experiencing shame before mustering courage.

It didn't matter if he lost, as long as he kept striving to become stronger. Although hard work didn't guarantee victory, he'd sure lose without it.

While this saying might seem rather trite, according to Bai Tongchen, it was by following this mantra that he managed to evolve into a legendary Beast Master from under Bai Heguang's suppression since childhood.

"Sorry for taking up so much of your time."

Seeing Gu Shan like this, Bai Qi also felt a little guilty.

He originally just wanted to test the strength of the Seven Sword Riders, but he got carried away and ended up brutally dominating his opponent.

In a way, his behavior wasn't very gracious.
