What a great opportunity!
Xue Runian's figure flashed, appearing before the Stone Armor Pig, twisting his waist for a beautiful spinning kick!
[Little Earth Wolf used 'Collapse and Fly', with little effect, dealing 5 damage!]
The Stone Armor Pig's face was kicked askew.
It lowered its head, staring at the little one, its Rage subtly accumulating.
Xue Runian:?
Good news, it hit!
Bad news, it was a scratch…
The Little Wolf Cub swiftly retreated, widening the distance.
The Beast Master, Zhao Xuanjia, reacted, cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
What kind of speed is this?!
I hadn't even opened my mouth, and the other side had already finished a round!
Fortunately, there's the level suppression of a Peak 9th level Awakening, plus the size advantage…
There's still a chance!
Zhao Xuanjia: "Stone Armor Pig, aim for the head, Charge!"
[Stone Armor Pig used 'Charge'!]
Aim for the head?
You probably don't know about the wolf clan's 'Bronze Head and Iron Bones', do you?
Sure enough, a new Trainer.
Thinking this, Xue Runian's body was very honest, using [Quick Move] to dodge the attack.
The white furball bared its small wolf fangs and let out a childish growl.
"Awoo~!"
[Little Earth Wolf used 'Intimidation'! Super effective! Stone Armor Pig's attack stat decreased!]
The "Intimidation" skill reduces the opposing Pet Beast's desire to counterattack by inducing 'Fear'.
But…
Xue Runian's expression was strange.
The attack stat did decrease, but why did your "Rage" also decrease?!
Hey, we're fighting, can you be serious for once?
Stone Armor Pig: ^_^
Hehe, so cute… purr.
Zhao Xuanjia: "Stone Armor Pig, Stomp!"
The Stone Armor Pig raised its hooves, and the moment they landed, the Little Wolf Cub soared into the air, charging straight for the Stone Armor Pig's face!
Zhao Xuanjia froze.
Was I… [predicted] by a Pet Beast?
[Stone Armor Pig used'Stomp', no effect!]
The white furball danced in the air, performing a difficult backflip.
Its right claw burst into small plum blossoms, shimmering with [Ice] attribute light, striking the Stone Armor Pig's forehead!
Claw Strike + Ice Shatter!
The Little Wolf Cub used the momentum to roll in the air, landing steadily, elegantly licking its paw… uh.
Xue Runian came back to his senses, elegantly rubbing his chin with the back of his paw.
"Woo~"
This move is called…
Wolf Claw Popsicle!
[Dealt 23 damage to Stone Armor Pig!]
Four times the damage!
Zhao Xuanjia's skill level wasn't high enough to notice.
If He Fan were here, he would surely be shocked.
This Pet Beast, during its "Awakening" period, used two "low-tier" moves to perform the advanced technique of a [Master Beast Master], a [Combination Skill]?!
The Stone Armor Pig only felt dazed from the hit.
It wanted to accumulate Rage, but its forehead was cold, making it perfectly clear-headed, giving it no chance to gather energy.
Zhao Xuanjia was incredibly nervous.
Oh no!
The Stone Armor Pig is really going to be counter-killed by the Little Earth Wolf despite the level difference!
Zhao Xuanjia: "Stone Armor! Quick, use Stone Armor!"
"Lulu!"
The Stone Armor Pig responded calmly, communicating with the earth, and the Earth attribute was activated, forming a defensive Stone Armor covering its entire body!
[Stone Armor Pig used 'Stone Armor', defense greatly increased! Speed decreased!]
Xue Runian's eyes were like lightning, he had finally waited for this moment!
Mortals, let me show you this cub's "Divine Skill"!
[Little Earth Wolf used 'Act Cute'!
Move judgment in progress… Ta-da! Great Accomplishment!]
A white furball, on all fours, let out a whimper with its head down, as if it had suffered an immense grievance.
Its ears drooped, and its eyes were brimming with tears, as if they would spill with a tilt.
"Woo~"
Just because I refused to be your Pet Beast, you summoned your Pet Beast to fight me?
Its tail behind it drooped, wagging weakly.
The Little Wolf Cub whimpered in a childish voice, looking up at the Stone Armor Pig and its Beast Master.
"Lulu?"
The Stone Armor Pig froze in place, not expecting such a situation.
It didn't know how to act, feeling a hint of pity for the little one in front of it.
Its chest, usually full of Rage, slowly calmed down.
Neither fighting nor surrendering was an option.
As a "Beast" with a Master, it did not have the right to surrender voluntarily.
The Stone Armor Pig was momentarily dazed.
[Super effective!
Stone Armor Pig gained the abnormal status "Dazed"!
Loses action for 3 turns!]
Zhao Xuanjia was also within the move's range.
He only felt that the creature in front of him was the cutest in the world.
He couldn't help but deeply blame himself; how could he bear to hurt it?
I originally wanted to protect it and show it a bigger world…
Emotions surged, and thoughts drifted afar.
Now's the chance!
The Little Wolf Cub quickly ran to a corner, using all its limbs to dig out a vine, biting its end, and pulling back with all its might!
"Woo woo!"
Faster… a little faster!
There's only one chance!
The vine was suddenly pulled, and the Little Wolf Cub stumbled, forced into a backroll, and even did the splits with its hind legs.
Xue Runian's eyes sparkled.
It worked!
A rumbling sound came from around, as if giant rocks were rolling.
In the grass, Xue Runian's beastmaster bracelet faithfully recorded this scene.
[Little Earth Wolf used "Terrain · Trap"!]
Zhao Xuanjia was the first to regain consciousness.
Although he wasn't clear what exactly happened, now was clearly not the time to dwell on it!
"Stone Armor Pig, Stone Armor Pig!"
The Stone Armor Pig regained consciousness; its "Earth attribute" constantly felt the tremors of the earth, filling it with fear.
But it stood in front of its Master without hesitation.
Zhao Xuanjia gritted his teeth: "Stone Armor Pig, Double Stone Armor!"
"Lulu!"
Heavy Stone Armor covered the Stone Armor Pig's body; its movement stat had already dropped to zero, transforming it into a super-defensive, standing fortress!
Giant rocks descended!
The double stone shell met the impact head-on, instantly shattering!
Seeing the Stone Armor Pig about to be crushed under the giant rocks.
Zhao Xuanjia rushed out and hugged the Stone Armor Pig!
The Stone Armor Pig froze, looking at Zhao Xuanjia.
Zhao Xuanjia, however, did not look at it.
He shouted: "Xuanjia Shattering!"
[Beast Taming Talent · Xuanjia Shattering!]
The Stone Armor Pig's two layers of Stone Armor, plus Zhao Xuanjia's own Talent…
A full three layers of shockwaves vibrated out, shattering the rolling giant rocks!
Zhao Xuanjia held the Stone Armor Pig tightly, completely exhausted.
Xue Runian was behind Zhao Xuanjia, watching Zhao Xuanjia and the Stone Armor Pig intently.
He truly did not want to become someone else's Pet Beast.
But he had to admit, in that instant.
He genuinely believed that this Master and Pet were so well-matched.
And…
Xue Runian restlessly stomped his paws.
Actually, while setting up the trap in human form, he also learned another move using the beastmaster bracelet.
[Defend].
If, in the end, Zhao Xuanjia hadn't rushed out, he probably would have also tried his best to protect this Master and Pet.
Zhao Xuanjia, at the end of his rope, seemed to want to turn his head and give the Little Wolf Cub behind him a smile.
But Xue Runian didn't give him that chance.
A cold beast paw appeared behind Zhao Xuanjia's head, tapping it lightly.
Zhao Xuanjia fell into a coma.
Xue Runian looked into the distance, his gaze profound.
This move is called…
Iced Brain!
The Stone Armor Pig looked at its unconscious Beast Master, then turned towards Xue Runian, its eyes instantly turning crimson.
[Rage!]
"Woo~~"
The Little Wolf Cub said seriously.
He had already reached his limit; forcing himself would only make things worse.
Coma was actually the body's protective mechanism.
The Stone Armor Pig paused, the red glow dimming, and it turned to look at Zhao Xuanjia.
The young Beast Master was drenched in cold sweat, yet a faint smile was on his face, his body relaxed.
Xue Runian's gaze was calm.
I'm cute, I know.
I'm dark, I know.
Cub's quotes… bah.
Wolf King's Quote One: When a cute Pet knows how cute it is, that will be terrifying.
But…
Zhao Xuanjia, I acknowledge your 'Belief'.
The Stone Armor Pig looked at the Little Wolf Cub.
"Lulu!"
You can help my Beast Master, right?
Xue Runian lightly nodded his wolf head.
"Woo~!"
I promise, you will both safely leave the Summer Secret Realm!
The Stone Armor Pig nudged Zhao Xuanjia towards the Little Wolf Cub, its gaze firm.
"Lulu!"
My Beast Master, I entrust him to your care!
Xue Runian's pink paw pad clicked Zhao Xuanjia's wristband.
The Stone Armor Pig immediately transformed into a red light and was sucked into the Beast Taming Ball.
In the grass.
Xue Runian's beastmaster bracelet secretly observed.
[Achievement! No Beast Ethics! Defeated the Beast Master to win!]
[Your Little Earth Wolf has leveled up!]
