Chapter 28: Genius Pet?
Editor: Henyee Translations
On Su Yi's orders, Thorn Grass dragged the Purple-Tailed Scorpion up from the dirt.
The Purple-Tailed Scorpion was obviously suffocated. After the Thorn Grass let go of it, it still lay on the ground for a long time.
"Well done."
Looking at the smug Thorn Grass that ran in front of him, Su Yi smiled and praised it before preparing to put it back into the Beast Taming Space.
But at this moment, Bai Zhiyan, who was squatting on the ground to check on the Purple-Tailed Scorpion, suddenly said, "Wait!"
"Is there anything else, Miss Zhiyan?"
Su Yi turned around and looked at her in confusion. He wondered if this Second Miss of the Jingtian Corporation was a sore loser and wanted to find trouble with him.
Fortunately, her mother and sister were here. Presumably, they wouldn't let her do whatever she wanted.
However, after Bai Zhiyan spoke, he knew that he was overthinking things.
The little girl stood up and said, "I was careless just now. I want to fight you again!"
Her face was utterly serious. She did not look at all like an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl.
"Another fight? I don't have a problem with that, but… are you sure your Purple-Tailed Scorpion can keep fighting?"
Su Yi did not reject her directly.
In fact, he couldn't wait to fight a few more rounds.
Ten thousand yuan was equivalent to two months of Madam Jiang Xiaoxiu's salary. With his current ability, where could he find such a profitable job?
Unfortunately, before Bai Zhiyan could answer, Li Wenyu spoke first. "Alright, Zhiyan, how can you immediately find someone else to spar with after just one battle? Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for your pet."
"But…"
"No buts."
Li Wenyu directly interrupted her. "In the future, Xiao Yi will often come over to spar with you. Even if you want to fight again, you don't have to be in a hurry. You can also take this opportunity to summarize your experience. Only by recognizing your flaws can you truly improve yourself. Otherwise, even if you fight another hundred battles, the outcome will be the same."
This deputy mayor's wife was usually very strict.
Although Bai Zhiyan was very unconvinced, she didn't dare to say anything else. She only said aggrievedly, "I understand. I'll summarize my experience of failure. However, since he's already my sparring partner, I hope to fight him again tomorrow. The Beast Tamers who used to spar with me will at least fight with me every day."
"That's not for me to decide. We'll have to ask for Xiao Yi's opinion first."
With that, Li Wenyu turned to look at Su Yi and asked with a smile, "You heard what Zhiyan said. Do you have time to spar with her again tomorrow?"
"The school gave us three days off. Of course I have time."
Su Yi agreed without hesitation.
"Then I'll have to trouble you tomorrow. Come at nine in the morning, as you did today. Auntie will meet you here."
"Okay."
After setting the time, Su Yi exchanged a few more pleasantries with the approachable auntie before preparing to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Wenyu specially asked her secretary to send him downstairs.
After Su Yi disappeared into the elevator, Bai Zhiyan finally couldn't help but pout.
"Mom, I know he's a guest of my sister's and we have to treat him with respect, but you don't have to be so friendly. People who don't know better might think he's your nephew."
Li Wenyu stroked her hair and asked with a smile, "Still angry about losing to him?"
"Not at all. I'm not that petty."
Bai Zhiyan shook her head in denial.
"I personally raised you. How could I not know what you're thinking? However, you didn't lose unjustly just now. The Thorn Grass he contracted is unusual. If I'm not wrong, his Thorn Grass is very likely a genius pet that can break through the shackles of the race!"
Li Wenyu said seriously.
"Genius pet?"
Both sisters looked mildly surprised.
"Mom, you're exaggerating. Pets that can break through the racial shackles are very rare. How can he be so lucky?"
The little girl was clearly unconvinced.
"There are always some lucky people in the world. And don't forget, Mom is a high-level pet appraiser with a national license. Based on my years of experience, that Thorn Grass's Digging skill should be more than proficient. If nothing goes wrong, it should have reached the impeccable realm. Otherwise, it would definitely not be able to move so quickly underground!"
Li Wenyu said firmly.
"Impeccable!"
The sisters started again.
This time, Bai Zhining could not believe it. After all, she had seen Su Yi contract the Thorny Grass with her own eyes.
Wait!
She suddenly thought of something. She remembered that Su Yi had acted very abnormally when he contracted that Thorn Grass, as if he knew that it was extraordinary…
Could it be that… everything he'd said about premonitions was true? And they weren't completely ungrounded?
Could this junior really have awakened a premonition talent?
If it was true, didn't that mean that the Little Purple Mink he had mentioned previously was indeed very likely to have grandmaster potential?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhining couldn't sit still anymore.
"What happened?"
Li Wenyu sensed her abnormality and could not help but look at her inquiringly.
"Nothing. I just remembered something important, Mom. I'm going out."
Without waiting for a reply, she threw on a coat and rushed down the stairs.
"What's so urgent, child?"
Li Wenyu was a little worried. She knew Bai Zhining's personality. If it wasn't something really important, she definitely wouldn't lose her composure like this.
…
After leaving Jingtian Tower, Su Yi rode his bicycle and whistled along the way. He was in a good mood.
It was hard not to be pleased to have earned ten thousand yuan in such a short time.
If nothing went wrong, he would be able to earn the money to buy the Vegetation Essence Fruit during the three-day vacation!
He had not forgotten that there were three conditions for the Thorn Grass to evolve into the Thorny Ghost Vine. In addition to reaching the six-star apprentice level, it also required 80 soul power points and a Vegetation Essence Fruit.
He had long accumulated enough soul power points.
Not long ago in the Lake Forest, he had obtained a total of 326 points!
As for the spiritual energy level, it was not difficult.
As the remaining energy in the Wood Spirit Stone was continuously absorbed, the Thorn Grass was growing rapidly.
If nothing went wrong, it would be able to grow to five stars in a few days. It would definitely be able to grow to six stars in a week!
In other words, as long as he obtained another Vegetation Essence Fruit, his Thorn Grass could evolve into a Thorny Ghost Vine!
It was actually not accurate to say that it would evolve. It was more accurate to say that it would demonize.
At that time, not only would the combat strength of the Thorn Grass increase, but its potential would also increase.
The Thorn Grass already had king-level potential. If it continued to increase, wouldn't it be able to reach the monarch level?
Even quasi-divine and divine!
Just thinking about it made Su Yi excited.
Apart from that, he also wanted to see what the Thorn Grass would become after it transformed.
'I wonder if I'll end up with a Thorn Banshee or something…'
