The Plowhorn Beast took the initiative, but the Iron Palm Bear did not treat it as seriously as it did before.
Obviously, it also looked down on the Plowhorn Beast.
What strength can a Semi-Support bull have?
However, Lee Zaiqing shouted, "Don't underestimate the enemy."
Although Lee Zaiqing did not have high hopes for this battle, he still harshly reminded them, as this was his attitude.
Only then did the Iron Palm Bear take it seriously, its paws turning metallic as it swung a punch.
Boom~~~
The horns met the fist, and both the bull and bear took a step back.
The Iron Palm Bear was stunned, not expecting Xiaobai to be unharmed.
Although it didn't use any skill just now, that punch still carried seventy percent of its strength.
The Iron Palm Bear began to take it seriously, and Xiaobai even more so.
Step~~
Step~~
Its front hooves started to scrape the sand on the ground.
It was activating a skill!
One second later, the horns turned white again, moving even faster!
Moo!!
A furious roar, using all its strength.
Although the Iron Palm Bear mentally believed it would win, its animal instincts sensed a dangerous aura, so it quickly used all its strength, the metalization reaching its hardest....
"Iron Sand Palm!"
Ding!!!
A huge metallic collision sound.
The horns met the bear's paw, then a cracking sound was heard.
Lee Zaiqing and the other two all thought it was the horns that had a problem, who would've thought it was the Iron Palm Bear's metallic paw that shattered.
The three of them couldn't believe it, but the Iron Palm Bear stepped back and then desperately shook its hand.
Clearly, it was in pain.
However, it's indeed much stronger than the Wild Boar, not flying away.
Seeing it had the upper hand, Xiaobai wanted to continue charging, but Lin Chen timely shouted, "Stop!"
For a while, everyone was silent.
Is this really a Semi-Support Spirit Beast?
Is it really a Level 2 Spirit Beast?
How is it fiercer than the Iron Palm Bear?
It's absurd!
Too absurd.
The butler and Qin Hao blushed thinking about their earlier behavior.
Instead, Lee Zaiqing muttered under his breath:
"As expected... should've bought a more expensive one."
....
Lin Chen was speechless.
Rich people's thoughts are just different.
However, that remark was quite hurtful to the bear.
Lin Chen thought, after contract, Spirit Beasts and Beastmasters should support each other, not disdain.
"....You six hundred, him four hundred."
During the break, the butler came to bargain, saying so.
Qin Hao looked up, the butler stared at him and asked, "Problem?"
"No... no." Qin Hao sighed.
No choice, the Panlin Python's condition wasn't good, everyone could see it.
After speaking, the butler left, but thoughtfully sent over food.
Lin Chen walked over to Xiaobai and woke it up.
"Xiaobai, let's talk about something."
"Moo~~~"
"Later, don't use your full strength, even if you lose, it's okay."
"Moo moo~~"
"The Beast Taming World isn't just about fighting, but about human relationships, understand?"
"Moo moo~~"
Xiaobai shook its head, it didn't understand these, only knowing the winner is king, the loser is defeated.
"Only with money can you buy Spirit Grass..." Lin Chen explained again.
This time, Xiaobai understood...
When it comes to matters of the stomach, even if it doesn't understand, it has to.
Lin Chen also prepared to patiently explain what sparring means, but unexpectedly, a voice sounded from the back:
"No need!"
Turning around, he found that Lee Zaiqing had arrived without him noticing.
Lin Chen was embarrassed, Lee Zaiqing seemed to have a strong sense of pride, he should be very angry.
Unexpectedly, Lee Zaiqing wasn't angry, but said earnestly, "The strong stay strong, only by continuously breaking through in battles can one become a strong person."
Lin Chen smiled wryly, saying nothing.
The boss isn't angry, so that's fine.
....
"Young Master Lee, can you still continue fighting today?"
Qin Hao was worried because the Iron Palm Bear got injured earlier and the doctor went to check it.
"It's okay, just rest for an hour or two." Lee Zaiqing said.
Lin Chen and Qin Hao exchanged glances, they both knew the Iron Palm Bear was not lightly injured.
Qin Hao sighed in his heart...
Although he often took the Panlin Python to work, if it got such an injury, Qin Hao would certainly let it rest immediately.
Lee Zaiqing's approach seemed a bit too eager for quick success.
Snacks were delivered, and Lee Zaiqing also sat down, he didn't look down on Lin Chen and the others, on the contrary, he was very interested in Xiaobai.
"Its skills seem to have reached Mastery level, is there any special training method?" Lee Zaiqing was curious.
He never doubted talent, but believed Lin Chen had subjected it to more rigorous training.
Lin Chen truthfully said there wasn't any special training, but a combination of work and rest.
Lin Chen wasn't a meddlesome person, but seeing Lee Zaiqing seemed nice, though a bit anxious, he gave a discreet reminder.
However, Lee Zaiqing was stubborn, insisting Lin Chen was unwilling to share, and started formulating a comprehensive plan in his mind.
But Qin Hao, being straightforward, didn't want to see this situation and said, "Young Master Lee, don't blame me for speaking up, Spirit Beasts should really have a balance of work and rest."
"It's fine, actually I understand." Lee Zaiqing shook his head and said:
"When I can contract a higher-level Spirit Beast, I'll most likely abandon this one, unless it evolves on its own."
"If it fails in evolution, I can't be blamed either."
Lin Chen heard this and remained silent, for the wealthy and powerful, changing Spirit Beasts was common.
Early-stage Beastmasters can mostly only contract Mortal Level Spirit Beasts, as they initially are just ordinary people who cannot withstand the feedback of High Level Spirit Beasts.
Only after the First Spirit Beast reaches Level 20 and undergoes its first evolution will a Beastmaster's constitution undergo some special changes, allowing them to contract higher quality Spirit Beasts.
Qin Hao nearby was full of envy, lamenting how great it is to be wealthy.
The three discussed matters regarding Spirit Beasts for several hours, usually, they didn't have many peers to communicate with, and since they just became Beastmasters, naturally, each was full of enthusiasm.
"...Once in two months, when school starts, I'll go to Nine Star Institute, the Inner Courtyard spot is pretty much secured." Lee Zaiqing spoke.
Nine Star Institute is a public academy in Jiuxing City, Inner Courtyard spots are very limited, only one in a hundred can enter.
Although there are rules, promotion is handled officially, but it couldn't stop the Lee Family from being one of Nine Star Institute's sponsors.
Long ago, the Lee Family fervently sponsored Nine Star Institute, paving the way for Lee Zaiqing.
Lin Chen and Qin Hao heard this and both felt a bit envious.
The resources of the Inner Courtyard were very good indeed.
"My father invested so much for me, hoping I could embark on the great path, I can't let down his expectations." When Lee Zaiqing talked about his dreams, his eyes were firm.
The Iron Palm Bear was enduring hardships, but actually, Lee Zaiqing himself was disciplined and enduring hardships.
He knew that with better resources, he should utilize them to become stronger.
After a break, sparring resumed.
This time, the three beasts were familiar with each other and started fighting again.
Sparring time carried into the afternoon, signaling the end.
"Thank you both for today." Lee Zaiqing was still very polite.
From the battles, he saw many deficiencies in the Iron Palm Bear and planned to train it hard tonight.
Lin Chen kept eyeing the Iron Palm Bear and Panlin Python, spinning his thoughts:
Would they mind if I touched their Spirit Beasts?
"Ahem~~"
Lin Chen wasn't thick-skinned and asked, "I have a peculiar hobby, I like touching beasts in my life, when I see a new beast, I relapse, I want to touch them, is it okay?"
The two of them and the three beasts were stunned, but soon they thought it was no issue.
Having peculiar habits is normal.
Just like being lustful, liking to gamble...
However, Xiaobai's eyes were teary-eyed:
I thought you only liked touching Niu Niu!
