100 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

Lian Xing, unfazed by such trivial matters, kept her star-patterned eyes fixated on the base of Bao Yue Yu Chui's ears. “......” “......” “Swish—” A few seconds later, from the ruptured lumps at the base of Bao Yue Yu Chui's ears, six bizarre and soft white ears sprouted. These six newly formed ear-like appendages, dripping with viscous fluid, dangled ominously on the layered spiral edges, swaying and frighteningly unsettling. However, to call them ears would be misleading—they more closely resembled distinctly jointed structures. Among them— Two ears shaped like rabbit paws, each with three claws. Two ears shaped like banana leaf fans. Two ears resembling bloated spiked maces. Adding to these are the original two-layered spiral striking springs and the white fur cloak that adorns her back, Bao Yue Yu Chui now possesses nine throwable appendages in total!! This is the Bloodline Battle Technique · Six Ears!!! When a beast specialized in throwing comes to comprehend this bloodline battle technique, their throwing accuracy may temporarily decline since absorbing multiple new throwing techniques can cause them to lose some of their original muscle memory and lead to confusion. However... Once Bao Yue Yu Chui fully masters these new throwing techniques, her combat prowess and level will skyrocket, achieving an unimaginable leap. Different from her fixed innate traits, the new parts generated by the Six Ears can seamlessly adopt characteristics of other throwing-specialized beasts!!! In other words, simultaneously inheriting up to six different throwing characteristics!!! Currently, Bao Yue Yu Chui is merely imitating the throwing techniques of other leader-class and higher-order beasts. But should she witness the throwing techniques of even higher-order beings, one can only imagine the terrifying impact... This is one of the 13 bloodline battle techniques, on par with devouring the world in one bite like Eclipse Moon, achieving a second awakening like Full Moon, and teleporting anywhere in the world like Chase Moon. The absolute core of throwing beasts—Six Ears!! As for why Bao Yue Yu Chui was able to unlock this so quickly... It's because the challenge in unlocking bloodline battle techniques lies in revealing the information, not in the conditions themselves, nor is there a strict requirement for the beast's rank. Lian Xing simply retraced the path she had taken before, like a simple ctrl+c, ctrl+v. At this moment, gazing at the newly transformed Bao Yue Yu Chui, Lian Xing crossed her arms, pondering deeply. "However, the initial strength of Six Ears is probably still quite low. Overall, Bao Yue Yu Chui might even be weaker than before." "If I want her to rapidly improve, I must find a rare breed whose initial form is specialized in throwing, and then temporarily inherit their diverse and adaptable throwing templates." "Yumo Flower, Snow Punisher... Iron Wash, these might be useful. I wonder if the pet association here in White Moon State can find them..." With a loud "bang!", the guest room door suddenly swung open. Caught off guard, four members of the Youlan team, including Tao Juan and Chi Yan, entered, only to freeze in disbelief at the sight of the room. A golden-haired girl, drenched in white fluid, stood before them, the walls and even the ceiling stained with this strange liquid. What had the captain, Lian Xing, been doing in the room...!? The merfolk hybrid, Yu Bai, seeing the mess on Lian Xing, let her thoughts wander and shyly lowered her head, murmuring, "So, you like it when things get... sticky..." “......” “......” Lian Xing: “?” —— —— Time flew by, and a day later... Now there was only one hour left until the league qualifiers began. In the front-row viewing area reserved for the ten prestigious academies, Lian Xing finally received the data from the headquarters of the White Moon State Beast Association. Although that little fox hadn't completely met her requirements, given its continuous efforts, she decided to lend them a hand—just this once. With that thought, Lian Xing casually scanned through the information on her phone. 【Royal Level—Elemental Variant—Extreme Cold Blast · Ice King】 【Ability: Unknown】 【Battle Techniques: Two starting at dark gold, specifics unknown】 【Type: Full mental enhancement, offense and defense in one, no obvious weaknesses】 When that biological ancient species landed, the Ice King just barely survived as it left the edge of the Abyssal Sea, though the remnants of the aura shattered two-thirds of its life crystals, leaving it severely endangered and in critical condition, danger level 3 stars. Having reviewed the data, Lian Xing narrowed her eyes slightly. Three stars? If her assessment was correct, a three-star rating is considered robust even among the Royal Level, isn’t it? Thus, this was a threat that couldn't be managed by a 10th-tier state like White Moon... Even in a dying state, a mutated Royal Level creature remains exceedingly dangerous!!! Therefore, she sent a questioning message to the little fox. Lian Xing: “Three-star rating, are you sure you can handle it if I lead it over here?” In mere seconds, the little fox replied. Little Initial Birth (Note): "Don't forget, Storm Water Sky Cool is here, not even a three-star rating can stir any waves~~~" Lian Xing: “So, can she handle a mutated Royal Level?” Little Initial Birth (Note): “Uh, it seems even you don't know everything, Lian Xing. Don't you know the level of guardians of 8th-tier states?” Lian Xing: “I really don't. But if you show any sign of failing, I'll be the first to bail~~” Lian Xing: “And one more thing, are you certain this creature is in a dying state?” Little Initial Birth (Note): “Absolutely, it was struck by the remnant aura of an ancient species, scattering its life crystal fragments near White Moon State, which allowed us to identify its specific type.” Little Initial Birth (Note): “Even if it's one of the fastest-recovering elemental species, with its life crystals shattered like that, what combat strength could it possibly have...?” Lian Xing: “Alright, since you say so, I’ll leave it to you then. But if the residents at the headquarters of the Pet Association end up wiped out, don’t blame me.” Little Initial Birth (Note): “Uh.........” Concluding her last message, Lian Xing put away her phone. She simply needed to confirm, for peace of mind. After all, as a wild beast, with its life crystals shattered, there were few ways to heal its wounds. And as a member of the Cataclysm, which worships destruction and ruin, it was unlikely to contract with any beast tamer. Besides, with the guardian of the 8th-tier state present here... There should be no need to overly worry, right!? Meanwhile, as Lian Xing waited on the spectators' stand, the league venue had already attracted millions of audiences and fans. The venue was packed to the brim, with colorful spotlights circulating around the teams' seats. The areas of the ten prestigious academy teams were especially under the limelight. Under the watchful eyes of the public, standing at the center of the grand stage, a woman dressed in a black slit long gown was speaking into a microphone. “Hello, to all our live audience and streaming fans, I'm Mo Chi, last year's captain of the Dizang Academy and former seventh seat among the ten greats. I bet you haven't forgotten me~~~?” “......” “......” Following the speech of the woman in the black dress, the scene erupted in a wave of jeers. Mo Chi, once popular as a former seventh seat of the ten greats, had tarnished her reputation by endorsing multiple scam products and engaging in heated confrontations with her fans over certain scandals, effectively shattering the persona she'd carefully crafted over the years. How the official Pet Association decided to have her host the qualifiers was baffling... “Hmm, hmm, such a warm welcome from everyone! Seems none have forgotten my stellar performance in the last league~~~” Ignoring the growing discontent, Mo Chi continued her self-introduction with no shame whatsoever. But hearing the organizer's warning through her earpiece, she quickly shifted the topic away from the intense audience interaction. “Alright, alright, I'll spare the chit-chat, let's take a look at this year's seeded contenders.” “......” “......” “Coming first from the ten greats, the dominator of White Moon State, the Phantom Sea Academy, Tian Quan!!!” As the host Mo Chi's voice faded, an unedited high-definition image of Tian Quan prominently appeared on the large screen. This moment marked the annual showcase of the top ten academies—a time when the spotlight shone brightly on these prestigious figures. Originally, Chilin from Youhe Academy had also meticulously prepared a high-definition image, but unfortunately, it was overshadowed during the challenge stage... Now, with Tian Quan’s elegantly groomed image displayed in high resolution, the crowd erupted into enthusiastic cheers, their deafening roar almost lifting the ceiling off the venue. Following Tian Quan, there was a noticeable drop in both the star players' account followers and the intensity of the cheers and support from fans. In the second position was Yao Xian from the Yinjici Academy, a small girl with hair adorned in green cascades resembling laurels, amassing 19 million followers.
