The weather was nice on Friday. The students of Class 1, Grade 7 at Yaotian Middle School gathered at the north gate of Qianluo Park to sign up for the pet PK competition at the park's carnival.

Every year in early December, Qianluo Park holds a carnival, with the pet competition being the highlight. Every year, there are great prizes to encourage everyone to participate.

The pet battle is quite casual, and the format is very simple: each person summons a pet to fight within a designated area. Whoever goes out of bounds first is eliminated, and the last pet remaining is the champion.

Cheng Huaijin whispered to Fang Juexia, "Don't rush into fighting at the beginning. Play it safe and wait until later to make your move."

Fang Juexia nodded: "I dare not say anything else, but you have seen the mimicry of the Styx jellyfish, hehe."

In this situation, the larger the size, the more disadvantageous it is. Cheng Huaijin decided to send out Thunder Spirit instead. Little Ironclad Tiger was still too big. Cheng Huaijin felt that it must be 1.8 meters tall.

"Brother Cheng! If you get first place, you have to treat us to dinner!" Suddenly, a commotion arose, and a boy was surrounded by people as he arrived at the registration area.

"Insect!" A scream drew everyone's attention.

Zheng Fangxing's fruit worm was bitten by a forest bird, and no matter how much Zheng Fangxing patted it, it wouldn't let go.

"Whose forest bird or beast is this? Make it let go quickly!" Zheng Fangxing was sweating with anxiety. He was a chubby boy with a good temper, a round face that made him look very amiable, and he was very popular in the class.

The first-grade students from Class 1 gathered around, and seeing that no one claimed to be the owner of the Forest Bird Beast, Wang Xiaoyu summoned the Fire Bee Beast, preparing to inject the Forest Bird Beast with a needle to anesthetize it before rescuing the Fruit Worm.

"It's against the rules to order your pet to harm other pets without permission, don't you know that?" A short boy suddenly jumped out and shouted.

Wang Xiaoyu is a lively and talkative girl. Seeing someone who indulges their pet animal in causing trouble and doesn't want to take responsibility, she got angry: "Your forest bird is biting the fruit worm and won't let go. We've been calling for ages, are you deaf and didn't you hear us?!"

The short boy straightened his chest and tried to look Wang Xiaoyu in the eye: "Don't embarrass yourself by showing off such a weak little thing!"

Wang Xiaoyu was furious: "You better get your forest birds and beasts to let go, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The short boy scoffed, "Heh, my pet has a weird personality, I can't control it~"

Zheng Fangxing panicked and rushed forward to grab the short boy by the collar: "Make it let go!"

"Hey, why are you doing this?!" the short boy screamed. "Boss Cheng!"

The tall, black-haired boy strode over. He gripped Zheng Fangxing's hand tightly, forcing him to release it, then shoved him aside and stood protectively in front of the shorter boy.

Zheng Fangxing was suddenly pushed and before he could react, he stumbled back two or three steps, lost his balance, and was about to fall.

The incident happened so suddenly that the surrounding students hadn't even had time to react.

A hand firmly supported Zheng Fangxing's back. Zheng Fangxing turned around in a daze and saw Cheng Huaijin's cold face, which was a little scary but also made him feel safe!

Cheng Huaijin casually tossed the stunned forest bird to the short boy: "Take care of your pet. If it runs around biting people, I'll discipline it for you. You're welcome."

The short boy frantically caught the forest bird beast, letting out a pig-like scream: "Aaaaah! What did you do to the forest bird beast?!"

Cheng Huaijin kindly reminded, "He's just been stunned by the electric shock. If you take him to the pet center for treatment now, he can still make it to the PK competition later."

...If you come back to participate, you'll be the first one kicked out.

Lei Jingling carried the Fruit Worm and presented it to Zheng Fangxing. Zheng Fangxing carefully held the Fruit Worm, his eyes red as if he was about to cry.

Cheng Huaijin comforted him, "It's okay, Guoguochong is probably a little scared. You should quickly put it back into your pet space. If you're worried, go to the pet center to check on it."

Zheng Fangxing sniffed: "Thank you, I'll go to the pet center first."

Cheng Huaijin nodded, then looked at the other boy who had been silent since the beginning.

The shorter boy was still angrily pulling at the dark-haired boy, saying, "Boss Cheng, look how arrogant this woman is! Teach her a lesson! This girl is bullying us!"

Cheng Huaijin said expressionlessly to the familiar face in front of him, "Cheng Woyu, it's been so long, and you're still as rude as ever."

Cheng Woyu frowned: "Cheng Huaijin... what are you doing here?"

Cheng Huaijin, hands in his pockets, said, "Are you blind? I'm here to participate in the competition. This is the registration area."

"Your illness is cured?" Cheng Woyu clenched his fists secretly. He didn't expect that his sister could recover so well after suffering such serious injuries!

Cheng Huaijin gave a fake smile: "You'll know once you try it."

The waiting area for the PK competition was clearly divided into three sections. On one side were the students from Class 1, Grade 1 of Yaotian Junior High School, centered around Cheng Huaijin, and on the other side were the students from Class 1, Grade 2 of First Junior High School, led by Cheng Woyu.

As for the other side, there were only a few scattered passersby.

Many passersby watched the students from the two schools arguing, ready to be spectators and enjoy the spectacle.

After all, among the three Beast Taming Junior High Schools in Dongcheng, there has always been a dynamic of mutual disdain.

Now that we've encountered this excitement, who wouldn't come and watch!

A total of 32 Beast Tamers registered for the PK competition, including 14 from Yaotian Junior High School, 12 from No. 1 Junior High School, and 6 from ordinary people.

This number of participants has set a new record for PK competitions. With so many pets crowding into the designated area, it's not too bad for the smaller ones, but the larger ones might step back and go out of bounds.

Cheng Huaijin summoned a Thunder Sprite, while Cheng Woyu summoned a Blazing Wolf.

Blazing Wolf, the evolved form of the Flame Wolf, possesses powerful combat talent and a fervent passion for battle.

The deep red fur is the hallmark of the Blazing Wolf. It inherits all the skills of the Flame Wolf, including Flame Impact, Flame Shield, Flame Claws, Fireball, Flame Breath, and Bite. In addition, the Blazing Wolf gains a new skill: [Blazing Bullet]. This is a unique skill of the Blazing Wolf; it can spit out a special fireball that explodes upon contact with the ground, creating a large-scale fire attack that deals significant damage to enemies.

Unexpectedly, the Flame Wolf evolved from a near-death state into the Blazing Wolf so quickly. The Grass Spirit's Grass Crystal is really a good thing... Cheng Huaijin regretted it a little.

It's not that I regret saving the Flame Wolf, but that I regret not trying to help the Flame Wolf break the contract back then!

But at that time, I was barely able to take care of myself, and I couldn't think about so many things. I'll think about it later when I have the chance. Just based on Cheng Woyu's casual attitude towards pets, he doesn't deserve to have one.

Before Jolteon was brought out, Cheng Huaijin emphasized that the focus should be on countering Blaze Wolf. He advised the player to play defensively in the early game and take out Blaze Wolf if the opportunity arose.

There are too many participants in the PK tournament, it's super chaotic, and it will probably depend more on the Jolteon's own adaptability.

"Electric! Electric!" Jolteon confidently declared that there was absolutely no problem!

Its fingers flashed with yellow electric sparks, indicating that it had sufficient power and would definitely complete the mission!

Cheng Huaijin silently touched his hair and took a half step back to distance himself from Lei Jingling.
