All the other pets have grown, and Li Cunxu didn’t neglect the Secretive Raven either.
He used credits to exchange for three archer skills: Iron Feathers, Feather Growth, and Feather Shot.
Iron Feathers, tal type, bronze skill, can make feathers as hard as steel.
Feather Growth, normal type, gold skill, accelerates feather growth, similar to hair growth.
Feather Shot, wind type, gold skill, shoots feathers out, causing high damage. The downside is that feathers are plucked out, and each shot causes feather-plucking pain, leaving one less feather on the body until all feathers are shot and it becos a featherless bird.
Feather Shot has a big cost, but its power rivals lord-level skills.
Before the Secretive Raven learned Feather Shot, Li Cunxu explained its downsides in detail, but the masochistic Secretive Raven excitedly expressed its desire to learn it.
...
The effect of the Blazing Pain Pill faded, and Li Cunxu walked out of the Spirit Cultivation Room, picked up his phone to browse short videos for a while, then logged into the campus network exchange interface as usual to see if there was anything good available.
[Exchange Item: A chance to choose a Star Spirit]
[Credits Required for Exchange: 10,000 credits]
"Star Spirit? Shendu University actually has them?"
Star Spirits, in Li Cunxu’s mind, are the best supportive pets.
Star Spirits have an exclusive skill [Star Healing], a divine healing skill. Pets healed by it have a slight increase in all attributes, and the more they’re healed by Star Healing, the better the healing effect.
In his previous life, Star Spirits could be acquired in three ways.
First, the hardest, Star Spirits are born in the endless starry sky, so there’s a chance to encounter them on uninhabited planets.
Second, the Star Spirit Secret Realm, where there are many Star Spirits. Once discovered, it was quickly controlled by the Star Spirit Alliance, allowing for infiltration and stealing Star Spirits.
As very popular healing pets with especially high value, many players got crafty and stole Star Spirits from the secret realm, and quite a few succeeded.
Third, by making significant contributions in Shendu, there’s a chance to receive a reward of a Star Spirit.
"I didn’t expect there to be a fourth way to acquire a Star Spirit."
In the ga, Shendu University doesn’t recruit players as students, so naturally, no players knew about this acquisition thod.
"I have 4 credits left; I’m still far from 10,000 credits."
"It’s ti to earn those credits."
Li Cunxu logged into the virtual arena and started rank matching, relying on Xiaoruan’s bullying strength to win consecutively and reach the 11th place.
This caught the attention of the freshn, as the ranking within the top hundred usually changes very little, and Li Cunxu reaching the 11th place in one night was very eye-catching.
"Who is this? So strong."
"I’ve never heard of this person before."
"I know this person, I matched with him before. His pet is a peculiar Sli, but that Sli is very strong."
The higher the rank, the longer the matching ti.
After waiting for an hour, Li Cunxu matched with an opponent.
[A viewer wants to watch your battle, do you agree?]
Both Li Cunxu’s and the opponent’s agreent is required for an audience since beast battles involve intelligence, and others watching could analyze weaknesses and then defeat you.
"Agree, can I charge for it?" Li Cunxu inquired.
[Yes, but the virtual arena takes a 30% commission from the ticket sales, and the remaining 70% is split between you and the opponent.]
"Alright, set the ticket fee to one credit."
The opponent agreed to Li Cunxu’s ticket fee pricing, and as soon as the ticket fee was set, over five hundred people flooded into the arena.
"Why are so many people willing to watch?"
The opponent was startled.
Their figures slowly appeared in the battle arena.
"Hey! It’s you, the Black-robed Faceless Man."
The Black-robed Faceless Man was overjoyed upon seeing Li Cunxu.
Last ti, when Gale Vulture was about to crush Xiaoruan, Li Cunxu surrendered and left the virtual arena, leaving the Black-robed Faceless Man, who had a mild OCD, bothered for a long ti.
This ti, he vowed to complete what was unfinished and crush Xiaoruan.
"Wait, sothing’s not right?"
The Black-robed Faceless Man, seeing his rank among the freshman list, realized sothing was amiss.
He was ranked tenth, so how did he match with Li Cunxu?
Before he could ask his doubts, the virtual referee already shouted, "Battle start."
"Forget it, what’s important is crushing his Sli before he surrenders."
"Gale Vulture, Divine Bird Assault."
The Gale Vulture quickly climbed, using its majestic wind-type Spiritual Energy to dive and crash towards Xiaoruan.
"Counter it, Xiaoruan, use Ram."
Xiaoruan’s whole body turned to iron, donned Durian Armor, equipped with tal armor, and adorned with the Steady Light Armor, charging up to et the oncoming attack.
At the mont of impact, shockwaves swept through the entire virtual arena.
Li Cunxu didn’t even need to look to know Xiaoruan was the victor.
The Steady Light Armor, as long as it absorbs light, can enhance its defense, and Xiaoruan was always using bright light sources, enhancing it around the clock.
Ironization, in the chanical Dismantling Secret Realm where Iron Slis were rampant, the more in number, the more skill experience tax was gained. With a lot of skill experience tax enhancent, Ironization had been surpassed fifteen tis.
tal Armor, having surpassed five tis, absorbed a massive amount of tal, providing exceptional defense.
Among the four defensive skills, Durian Armor was the slowest in defense enhancent.
With four layers of defense, when Xiaoruan clashed with the Gale Vulture, the Gale Vulture shattered like an egg hitting a rock.
A bronze-level Sli instantly killed his silver-level ace pet, Gale Vulture.
The Black-robed Faceless Man was incredulous, "You were so weak months ago; how did you beco so strong so quickly? And what does your pet Sli being displayed as a bronze level even an?"
The spectators were equally astounded.
"Oh my God, am I dreaming? A bronze-level Sli instantly beating a silver peak level, and it’s a Sli doing it."
"I must be under their illusion technique; their illusion is so powerful that even as a spectator, I’m affected."
"To the person above, you’re not under an illusion. This is a virtual arena, not a real arena, and the illusions here can’t affect us spectators. The fact is a bronze-level Sli defeated a silver peak’s Gale Vulture."
"Can a Sli get this strong? It’s making want to contract a Sli too."
"Defeating the opponent’s ace with the most useless Sli, wow, that’s cool, quite the show."
...
Although they had beaten the Gale Vulture, the battle wasn’t over.
The Black-robed Faceless Man still had two more pets not yet on the field.
"Bald Kappa, you’re up."
The Bald Kappa, short and ugly with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, was topped with a shiny bald head.
Li Cunxu scratched his head, muttering to himself, "I thought such an ugly pet could only be contracted by ga bloggers doing so antics, but real people actually contract it!"
Perhaps the crushing defeat made the black-robed faceless man lose his rationality in pet battles, as he didn’t test and imdiately used a big move.
"Bald Kappa, Ghost River Ghost Hand."
