At this moment.
Inside the Summer Secret Realm.
It was late night in Jianghe City, but dusk was just arriving in the Xia Secret Realm.
More than ten hours had passed.
The Little Wolf Cub leaped through the depths of the forest, observing a human Beast Master, seemingly lost in thought.
Sixteen or seventeen years old, short and fat...
Hmm...
This one should work.
If I let this one go too, the Enforcers might come.
Zhao Xuanjia, unaware that he was being watched by a Pet Beast, walked alone through the bushes.
He was wearing a training uniform and looked at the open space in front of him. He communicated with his Beast Taming Ball through his beastmaster bracelet and softly commanded, "Come out, Stone Armor Pig!"
"Oink..."
As the high-level Pet Beast appeared, some gentle wild Pet Beasts nearby sensed a faint anger and immediately ran further away.
Zhao Xuanjia stroked the Stone Armor Pig's back.
[Name: Stone Armor Pig]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Characteristic: Irritable]
[Growth Level: Awakening Level 9]
[Species Level: Intermediate Transcendent]
[Skills: Oink, Charge, Stomp, Stone Armor]
[Special move: Rage]
The sun was setting, and a gentle cool breeze blew, the forest was not as stuffy as imagined.
As a Newbie Beastmaster who had just completed a contract, possessing a "Stone Armor Pig" already gave him the capital to roam freely in half of the Secret Realm.
Zhao Xuanjia had originally come for the Level 1 resource, "shell fruit."
This kind of tree fruit can increase the power of a Pet Beast's "Defense Skill."
Although the "Stone Armor Pig" had already reached Awakening Level 9 and was about to advance to Transcendent, it was carefully purchased for him by his family, not trained by himself.
So his current "command" and "rearing" levels were still at a Newbie level, and he needed to accumulate experience.
After finally defeating the guarding Beast Master and obtaining the shell fruit, he had intended to leave, but his beastmaster bracelet popped up a message, indicating that a "different colored" Pet Beast was suspected to have appeared in the Xia Secret Realm.
Zhao Xuanjia suddenly remembered the white figure that had flashed before his eyes in the dense forest just now.
He became excited.
"A different colored Pet Beast!"
Why didn't I notice it then!
The Little Fatty decisively turned back to search, and sure enough, hidden by the trees, he saw that white Pet Beast!
And it was still a cub!
That little fellow was incredibly agile. Upon discovering the human's presence, its expression became flustered, and it fled in a panic.
"Don't run! I'm not a bad person!"
Zhao Xuanjia shouted as he chased.
Bad people all say that! I'd be foolish to believe you! Xue Runian ran at top speed on all fours, thinking as he ran.
"Oink..."
The Stone Armor Pig moved its short legs, its path blocked by branches and leaves, looking quite disheveled and showing signs of anger.
Zhao Xuanjia: "Stone Armor Pig, hurry and chase!"
He looked back and stopped his footsteps.
He pressed his beastmaster bracelet, putting the Stone Armor Pig back into his belt: "Never mind, I'll do it, you rest first!"
Pushing aside the Luxuriant leaves with his hand, Zhao Xuanjia gritted his teeth and ran in the direction of the different colored Pet Beast.
"Huff, huff..."
The Little Fatty was panting.
He chased to a low-lying area, where the environment was cold and damp.
The pure white furball had nowhere to go, turned its head, and looked pitifully at the Beast Master.
Zhao Xuanjia's breathing stopped.
Oh my goodness, how can there be such a cute little guy!
The Little Wolf Cub was pure white, its fur soft, looking as if it could ripple with a breeze.
It looked very milky and could be held in one hand.
At the junction of its body and limbs, the fur color had a subtle gradient, barely noticeable without a close look.
Its icy blue eyes seemed to shimmer with water.
The small ears on either side of its head stood erect, pointed and creamy, covered with a layer of fine white fur, looking soft and very pleasant to touch.
The inside of the ear canal was a healthy pale pink, further down enveloped by dense ear fluff.
"Woof~~"
The Little Wolf Cub huddled in the corner, its cry sounding wronged, its fluffy tail drooping behind it, weakly wagging twice.
Zhao Xuanjia's heart softened almost instantly.
He didn't know whether to advance or retreat, standing still and hesitating for a long time, finally coming back to his senses. He hesitantly raised his beastmaster bracelet and scanned it.
[Name: Little Earth Wolf (different colored) (cub)]
[Attributes: Earth, (?)]
[Growth Level: Awakening Level 5]
[Species Level: Low-level Lord-level]
[Suspected Skills: Claw Strike, Collapse and Fly, Pacing...]
Information: The Tǔláng's Species Level is not high, its personality is unruly, cruel, and tyrannical. It is not recommended for cultivation as a Pet Beast.]
The Little Fatty looked at the content on the light screen in disbelief, then looked at the pure white furball in front of him.
"Woof~~"
The Little Wolf Cub looked timidly at Zhao Xuanjia.
You call this "cruel and tyrannical"?
You call "Lord-level" a low Species Level?
Zhao Xuanjia wordlessly retracted the light screen. This wristband was broken, he couldn't keep it!
He pressed his belt, took out a Beast Taming Ball, pressed the button, and it "clicked" and enlarged.
Xue Runian watched his hand warily.
It's that thing!
Although he could break free, Xue Runian absolutely didn't want to try.
Must not get hit!
Zhao Xuanjia raised both hands, signaling he had no ill intent.
His eyes flashed.
It was time to use his superb rhetoric!
"Well, Little Earth Wolf, I'm very happy to meet you today."
"Actually, this world isn't just 'Summer Secret Realm'; there are even more beautiful sights outside."
"Although your strength is low now, no one will despise you."
"I want to experience happiness with you."
"I want to be a Pet Beast Trainer, I want to become partners with you, please be my partner!"
Then Zhao Xuanjia showed a gentle smile, holding the Beast Taming Ball in his hand, waiting for the Little Earth Wolf's choice.
"Tell me, your choice."
The Little Wolf Cub shook its head without hesitation.
Trying to trick a child!
Whoever falls for it is a big fool!
Zhao Xuanjia: "..."
"Is there really no room for negotiation?"
The Little Wolf Cub shook its head again.
Zhao Xuanjia seemed to understand, saying, "It seems you haven't felt my sincerity."
No! I felt it!
I just simply don't want to be contracted!
Xue Runian complained internally.
Zhao Xuanjia gripped the Beast Taming Ball: "Then, let me show you my Belief in the way of a 'Trainer'!"
His beastmaster bracelet's real-time combat record module activated.
[Beast Master 'Zhao Xuanjia' encountered Little Earth Wolf!]
Xue Runian: "..."
Damn it.
Why do you think that if I get beaten up by your Pet Beast, I'll understand your 'Belief'?
Zhao Xuanjia threw out the Beast Taming Ball and said in a deep voice, "Stone Armor Pig, Rage!"
Thanks to the [Irritable] characteristic, the Stone Armor Pig could accumulate "anger points" inside the Beast Taming Ball.
The moment it came out of the ball, it could use its Special move, Rage!
[Rage: All attributes doubled.]
['Zhao Xuanjia' sent out Stone Armor Pig!]
The Stone Armor Pig was one meter long and half a meter tall, its eyes flickering with the red glow representing 'anger', making a majestic appearance and glaring at the field!
...Oink?
You are my opponent... Huh?
What is this?
It's too cute!
Stone Armor Pig: ^_^
Anger points instantly cleared.
['Rage' failed to activate!]
Zhao Xuanjia: "...?"
Get a grip!
