"Howl!" Ah Bai, they're already gone.
The cub nudged him.
"I know. I'm just enjoying the morning breeze, thinking about what to do next, but before that, you must break through to the commander level. Are you ready?"
He stared at the endless plain in the distance and began on his plan.
"Howl!" I am always ready! Purple Jade howled excitedly at him.
"Alright, then. Eat this potion."
He took out a special energy potion made from the 10,000-year Wood Crystal.
"Howl~" Letting out a howl of excitement, the cub opened its small mouth and waited for him to feed it.
After the potion was poured into its mouth, it swallowed the whole thing with a few gurgling sounds. The high-concentration pure wood spiritual power in the potion was activated as the cub absorbed it. The spiritual energy rushed up into its limbs and began changing and guide its spiritual power to a more refined direction.
At the moment, the cub was like a bucket which was already filled to the brim. If it wanted to hold more water, it could only compress the water.
And the bucket must be able to withstand the pressure and not break apart. This was the manifestation of the pet's potential. If the potential was not good, the pet would be unable to withstand it after a few compressions.
This process was bound to be accompanied by pain, but the cub had to endure it.

Soon, the spiritual power compression reached a critical point. The cub howled as a dark green spiritual vortex appeared on its body. As the spiritual vortex slowly contracted, its aura slowly stabilized at the low-level commander, and then it slowly became stronger.
This was because the 10,000-year Wood Pearl had a very good effect and had a definite effect on breaking through to a monarch. Although the cub's spiritual power had already been consumed and exhausted after it broke through, it still absorbed the rest afterward.
"Howl!" Ah Bai, I broke through. Thank you; I really love you~ Purple Jade, this little milk cat, rubbed against him, expressing its full satisfaction and gratitude to him.
"It was all your own efforts; it had nothing to do with me."
He shook his head and checked his pet's data. It was a pity that no new skills were awakened this time. The only thing he felt relieved about was the strengthening of the Holy Spirit Shield.
This skill had been acquired when it evolved into a Sanctuary Wood Spirit. Originally, it only increased its ability to recover and defend itself, but now it also had an extra control-free attribute. As long as the cub could summon enough grass and wood spirits, the formed Holy Spirit Shield would have better protection against control skills. At the highest realm, it could even use the Holy Spirit Shield as a Holy Spirit substitute.
However, to reach such a point, not only did it need a complete comprehension of the profound meaning of wood, it also needed a certain understanding of the laws of wood. For the time being, this was too difficult a feat for the cub.
Su Bai let the cub rest here for a while so it could get acquainted with its new power.
Taking advantage of the spare time, he summoned his contract book and gave the three newly bought skills, namely the Instant Ice Seal, the Ice Flame, and the Thousand Miles Freeze, to the Ice Phoenix. He let the bird slowly ponder in the pet space, not wanting it with its serious paranoia to come out for the time being.
Similarly, he imparted the three skills, Illusion Wave, Dream Ray, and Fixed Body, to the others through the contract book. Once they were done pondering the skills, he would release them to practice the skills.
He was looking forward to seeing the baby fox in combat. As for the prudent Ice Phoenix, he would not count on it for the time being and would let it do whatever it wanted.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})As for the dino, he had already fed it the crystal fire with profound meaning, but it had yet to show any response. Its evolution should take a few days and it might even break through to the commander grade.
In fact, he had already felt the slowly growing aura of evolution in the Little Tyrant. It was not far from evolving into a Purgatory Fire Thief. Because this evolution was not ordinary, he was really looking forward to it.
What was meant by fire? Fuel? Life? Hope?
Fire thief meant to steal fire, and the Purgatory Fire Thief would inevitably awaken a new skill named 'Fire Thief'. The first use of this skill was to steal an opponent's fire, such that the fire pet could no longer use any fire-attribute skills in front of it. This skill was considered an absolute fire nemesis, which was why the Purgatory Fire Thief could eventually evolve into the Purgatory King.
The second terrifying side of this skill was the Theft of Life. It could steal the fire of life of others without a trace. Unlike the overbearing swiftness of a dead cocoon, this skill worked silently. If it was not discovered in time, the opponent was doomed.
After being hit, the opponent would feel lethargic and delirious but would not know the reason why until the time of its death. However, this skill was not without its shortcomings. As long as it was discovered, the opponent could be treated in time. Also, the skill was almost ineffective against beings with too high levels.
However, even this kind of Purgatory Fire Thief was very rare. Because it was difficult for ordinary Purgatory Tyrants to evolve in this direction, there was naturally only one in a thousand in the world. The apex of the tyrant of this evolution direction was the Starry Sky Devourer, of which the existence could even swallow stars.
He guessed that this was why the dino had been stuck in this stage of evolution for so long. It would really be a bit too abnormal once it became a Purgatory Fire Thief.
He now looked forward to the completion of its evolution.
After resting for a while, when the cub had almost adapted to its current strength, he got up and rode it back.
"Howl~"
The cub let out a howl which scared away the vultures hovering in the sky and the surrounding predators. Now, Su Bai could ride Purple Jade on this wasteland without taking a detour because nothing was worth avoiding for it anymore. He was not afraid of high-level commander monsters anymore.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})At the cub's current speed, it used not more than two hours to cover the same distance it usually took half a day to.
Arriving at a familiar spatial door, he got down from the cub's back and kept it in his contract book. He walked out disguised in a different appearance.
Taking a step out, he appeared outside the door of Blood Moon Bar again. He took a look at the bustling downtown area around him and called for a flying service to bring him back. Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way.
Once the flying service reached Carp Town and he got off it, he prepared to walk back home by himself. The road leading to Baiyue Manor was between their village and Qingshui Village. Instead of visiting the villa in the village, he would go back directly to the manor.
On his way to the manor, he chanced upon a group of people who were talking at a fork in the road. He did not bother about them and continued on his way.
"Hey, Su Bai, don't go forward; it's very dangerous! A commander monster appeared there out of nowhere and killed several pets."
Seeing him still walking forward, the village head quickly reminded him with a smile.
"Commander monster? What kind of attribute is it?" Su Bai asked curiously. Usually, commander monsters did not dare to run into human settlements.
Moreover, commanders in monster wildernesses were already rare, so why would it come here specifically?
"It's a six-clamped three-tailed scorpion at the commander grade. It's extremely poisonous; several high-ranking pets in the village were directly killed by it when they went up. Now, we can only wait for the pet management bureau to deal with it. You should wait a while before going up," the village chef said.
"Yes, that thing is terrible. It has terrifying strength and is more than six meters in length."
"I don't know when the people from the pet bureau will come."
"I really don't know how a commander managed to enter this area. What is the Pet Alliance doing?"
The villagers talked a lot, with fear written all over their faces, complaining with their mouths.
"It's okay; I'll go up and look."
Su Bai shook his head and walked forward.
"Hey, what are you doing? Come back right away; it's too dangerous!" The village head wanted to pull him back, but when he saw that Su Bai had gone so far, he walked back with a trace of anger on his face. This greenhorn did not know the horror of a commander monster. He had already reminded him, but he was looking for his own death. He cursed inwardly and backed away quickly.
"Hey, come back quickly. It's life-threatening; this is not a child's play!"
"Don't anger the monster with your death and cause it to hurt us. Come back quickly! What show are you trying to put up here?"
The other villagers retreated as they cursed him loudly. This greenhorn thought too highly of himself and really pegged himself as invincible. F*ck! That was a commander monster they were talking about. Did he think that he was unstoppable? If he angered the monster, the entire village would be destroyed.
"Roar!"
Just when Su Bai moved a few steps forward, the ground suddenly shook, the earth cracked, and the dust scattered. A giant purple scorpion with six giant pincers and three tails rushed out of the dust, looking hideous and exuding a terrifying aura. Both of its mouthparts and powerful giant pincers attacked him. If the pincers hit him, he would be dead.
Seeing this scene, many villagers closed their eyes, afraid to watch the bloody scene. They thought in their hearts, Why bother? It's this boy's fault for not listening to his elders.
However, Su Bai stood there without a hint of fear. His eyes glowed with indifference, and a golden contract book appeared out of thin air beside him. A big white cat rushed out from within, looking at the commander monster disdainfully. With a howl, a vine whip burst forth from its body.
There was a puff, a burst of blood, and a low roar.
What a pity that he died. Many people thought this way.
However, at this time, someone suddenly shouted in shock, "Look, it's a gold contract book! He killed the six-clamped three-tailed scorpion in seconds!"
After hearing this, many people thought that the pet management bureau had arrived, but what they saw was an unforgettable scene in their lives.
The terrifying six-clamped three-tailed scorpion now had a one-meter-wide hole on its body and was lying down in a pool of blood. On the other hand, Su Bai, whom they thought was a goner, still stood intact in place, accompanied by a gold contract book. As he kept the contract book, a trace of indifference flashed on his face and he shrugged. "It's done. This scourge has been eliminated; you are all safe now."
He then turned and walked toward Baiyue Manor, leaving everyone with a handsome back view.
"The boy with a gold contract book killed it in seconds!"
"He isn't even seventeen years old yet, isn't he?"
"Oh, my God. When did the Su family have such a devilish son? He has reached the status of an elite Pet Tamer at the age of sixteen."
The villagers were speechless. Such a terrifying genius youth could only be seen on TV, could it not?
It turned out that he had not overestimated himself; in fact, the scorpion was not worth a mention to him.
At this time, several government officials flew over. "Where is the commander monster? We belong to the pet management bureau."
"I'm the village chief. I apologize for the trouble, but the monster has already been dealt with. Look, it's the scorpion over there."
"Killed? By whom?"
They walked over to examine the six-clamped three-tailed scorpion.
"It died under a wood attribute basic skill, Vine Whip? How could it be possible?"
Looking at the wound, those people immediately became more confused. Judging from the residual spiritual power, this was the damage caused by Vine Whip, but this was also impossible. How powerful must Vine Whip for it to penetrate the body of a commander monster easily?
"Who was it? Could it be that a big shot with a wood monarch pet passed by coincidentally?"
"No, it's a sixteen-year-old boy who is still in high school. He's from our village; his name is Su Bai." The village chef shook his head in response.
"Oh, it turns out to be Su Bai. It makes sense, then. Alright, let's head back." The captain came to a realization upon hearing the boy's name.
"Captain, who is he? Can a high school student be so strong?" The other members were puzzled.
"I suggest that you all go back and check the profile of this person; in passing, watch the video of his game. He is simply a genius. Not surprisingly, he will definitely be number one in the college entrance examination this year."
The captain ordered his team members to return to their base. Only this genius could achieve such a feat with an elementary skill.
On the other side, Su Bai had already walked back to Baiyue Manor leisurely.
"Dad, mom, I'm back!" He called at the edge of the spiritual field.
"Hey, when did you come back? Didn't you say you'd be gone for a few months? Why did you come back in just half a month? Did you run out of money?" His father stood up in greeting.
The man was extremely surprised to see his return.
"Oh, my son is back. Are you hungry? I'll go and cook for you. By the way, how is Ruoxue? Didn't you bring her along?"
His mother's tone was completely different from his father's, and she was very concerned about Chen Ruoxue, instead.
"I came back to put some things away and will be leaving again a day or two from now. I participated in an auction and bought some things for you guys and Su Yue. As for Ruoxue, she has something else so she didn't return with me."
He answered his parents' questions briefly, saying thereafter, "Let's return home first; leave the spiritual plants for now."
"Alright, it's getting late, too. It's time for lunch." His mother nodded as she spoke.
After cleaning up briefly, they went to the villa by the river.
At the same time, he called his younger brother to come down. Today was New Year's Day, so Su Yue was on holiday and was doing research in his older brother's laboratory.
He rushed over upon hearing about his return.
"Big bro, why did you return so soon?" Su Yue came in and asked curiously.
