"What did he say? Cheng... Huaijin?"
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
How is that possible??
...
Before the battle.
Cheng Woyu met Cheng Huaijin at the corner of the corridor. Cheng Huaijin had grown considerably taller than the last time he saw her, and looked quite like an older sister.
Cheng Woyu pursed his lips, not wanting to speak. However, Cheng Huaijin stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Cheng Woyu took a deep breath, trying to calm his raging emotions. He didn't know why, but lately his emotions had become increasingly unstable…
"What do you and I have to talk about?"
Cheng Huaijin crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, turning his head to say to him, "Let's make a bet."
Cheng Woyu asked expressionlessly, "What are we betting on?"
Cheng Huaijin pointed to the mark on his wrist: "I want your Giant Flame Wolf."
"You're dreaming!" Cheng Woyu couldn't contain his anger and shouted loudly.
Cheng Huaijin rubbed his ears and said with disdain, "Don't get excited. Tomorrow is our competition. If you and I can duel on the field, and I win, your Giant Flame Wolf is mine. If we can't duel on the field, then we'll duel in private, and the stakes will still be your Giant Flame Wolf."
"Heh, what if I win?" Cheng Woyu sneered.
Cheng Huaijin straightened up and took two steps toward him. This inexplicable sense of oppression made Cheng Woyu involuntarily take a step back. He realized his fear and began to feel angry again.
Before he could erupt in impotent rage, Cheng Huaijin spoke up: "You've long since given up on the Giant Flame Wolf, haven't you? You know its health is failing. If I lose, how about I give you some money? Enough for you to buy another Giant Flame Wolf. A new, young, healthy high-level pet. You can use it to regain everyone's praise."
"A genius young beast tamer."
These last seven words seemed to touch Cheng Woyu's heart; his lips trembled a few times, but he remained silent.
Cheng Huaijin pressed on: "Anyway, the Giant Flame Wolf is already half-crippled, so you won't lose out by giving it to me. Didn't you already say you didn't want it anymore?"
A glint of light flashed in Cheng Woyu's eyes. Yes! The giant flame wolf's body had long been hollowed out by the energy surge agent! And now that this silly sister was willing to take over, it couldn't be better!
Besides, he has no chance of losing! Increase the dosage, and he'll definitely win tomorrow! Then we'll get rid of this crippled giant flame wolf, and use the money to buy a new pet, hahaha!
“Okay, it’s a deal,” Cheng Woyu said with a smile.
“Then let’s put it in writing.” Cheng Huaijin took out a contract that he had prepared beforehand.
...
After Cheng Woyu left, Zeng Zhaoying appeared behind Cheng Huaijin.
"All done?" she asked.
Cheng Huaijin was startled: "Why do you walk so quietly!"
Zeng Zhaoying blinked: "You're hard of hearing."
Cheng Huaijin picked at his ear: "Really?"
Zeng Zhaoying asked her, "Have you made up your mind? Cheng Woyu will definitely overdraw the energy of the Giant Flame Wolf tomorrow. He doesn't know that the energy stimulant can also seep into the Beastmaster's body through the pet. I'm afraid that after tomorrow, the pet space will explode."
Cheng Huaijin uploaded the contract to the Contract Management Bureau, and the contract officially came into effect from that moment on.
She straightened her collar and said nonchalantly, "He only has himself to blame. I just made this karma come faster."
Zeng Zhaoying suddenly became curious about Cheng Huaijin's opinion of Cheng Woyu: "Do you hate him?"
“Hate?” Cheng Huaijin scoffed. “Hate is an emotion, but I have no feelings for him, only emotions.”
Zeng Zhaoying repeated, puzzled, "Emotions?"
Cheng Huaijin replied, "It's so pitiful that the pets have to form contracts with him." After she finished speaking, she patted Zeng Zhaoying's head, "You're still young, it's normal that you don't understand~ Let's go! I'll treat you to dinner!"
Zeng Zhaoying adjusted her glasses: "I'm older than you... what do you mean 'young'..."
...
On the battlefield.
"Rayfy, I choose you!"
"Incense Butterfly, come out!"
A purple light and a white light flashed, and the Thunder Sprite and Incense Butterfly appeared on the battlefield.
Cheng Woyu launched the first attack: "Incense Burning Charge!"
The Incense Butterfly's wings shimmered with a faint light as it unleashed "Incense Impact," a powerful shockwave that swiftly hurtled towards Jolteon. Jolteon leaped into the air, tumbling and dodging the attack.
The fragrance released by the Incense Butterfly is bewitching; this pale yellow scent seems to follow the Thunder Sprite as if it were consciously aware of its surroundings.
"Electromagnetic shield!"
The Thunder Sprite immediately used "Electromagnetic Shield" to form a protective shield and block the Incense Butterfly's attack.
Seeing that the shield blocked the fragrance from spreading, Cheng Huaijin immediately gave the order: "Lightning Arrow!"
Lightning Arrow, a new lightning-type skill learned by the Thunder Spirit, can condense lightning elements into the shape of a feather arrow, making it fast, powerful, and very useful.
The Thunder Spirit unleashed a powerful lightning arrow, shooting directly at the Incense Butterfly.
Cheng Woyu seemed not to have expected that the Thunder Elf could withstand the Incense Butterfly's attack, but he was not panicked.
"Incense Shield!"
The Incense Butterfly skillfully manipulated the fragrance of incense to form a barrier, successfully blocking the lightning arrow attack.
Cheng Huaijin paused for a moment and did not issue the instruction in time.
Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Woyu immediately blurted out, "Illusion!"
The Incense Butterfly flapped its wings, and pollen-like substances quickly surrounded the Thunder Sprite.
The Thunder Sprite's eyes became dazed, and the scenery around it instantly blurred...
"Oh dear, it seems the Jolteon has been hit!"
"I don't think so. Did you notice that Cheng Huaijin missed a beat just now?"
