Gathering his thoughts, Bai Wushang looked around and climbed up a large tree.
Standing atop the canopy, Bai Wushang looked out into the distance, only to find that there were shadows of lush trees in every direction, with no end in sight.
The only conspicuous thing was that the sun in the sky was not a solid entity, but an illusory projection.
It seems that it’s difficult to figure out the environntal structure of the trial ground in a short period of ti…
Bai Wushang frowned in thought, and finally decided to go in one direction first.
Gripping the dagger tightly, Bai Wushang fully activated his senses as he walked between the trees with a vigorous gait.
Unlike the dry climate of the Endless Sand Domain, the humidity in the air was high, and after just a mont of walking against the wind, Bai Wushang felt a thin layer of mist on his face as it beca sticky.
“Huh?”
Sowhere not far away, a cluster of grass-like plants in a gradient of blue and green on a tree trunk caught his attention.
“It’s guinea grass?” said Bai Wushang as he got closer and scrutinized it, and exclaid in surprise, “This is one of the raw materials for many basic healing dicines. A plant this big would cost at least 20 or so gold coins in the market, right?”
Carefully digging through the trunk with his dagger, Bai Wushang took out the plant from its roots, and put it into his dinsional backpack.
This dinsional backpack distributed by the academy was one of the smallest spatial storage equipnt. With a total capacity of only one cubic ter, it was still barely enough to store so herbs, fruits and vegetables, at, and other things.
I’ll take it first, and if I get injured, I can directly crush it and apply it externally to accelerate the healing of wounds. If I can’t use it, I can still make so money, taking it out of the mystic realm…
Continuing to walk, Bai Wushang gathered valuable dicinal herbs or fruits that could be eaten while constantly identifying the transcendent creatures hiding in various corners of the forest.
Flower Bamboo Rat… Winged Pink Butterfly… Huh? This Firecap Turtle seems to have mutated. The flas on its head are actually blue… It’s a bit rare, but still too weak for …
For Bai Wushang’s peak Spiritualist level soul power, the strength limit of contracted pets was the peak of the early youth, and these weak early and mid youth transcendent creatures in front of him were far from eting his contracting standards.
The first direction of my choice is that the bloodline quality should not be too low, and should guarantee sufficient growth potential in the future. The second is the current life level, preferably in the late youth or peak youth; if it’s too weak, it won’t be conducive to surviving the trials.
But that’s all theoretical expectations, not quite the sa as the reality I’m dealing with…
Bai Wushang knew that if it was in other academies or certain families, the first pets for newly promoted masters were usually provided directly by elders or ntors, and a little familiarity would enable them to contract easily. The quality would not be bad, with a low overall difficulty.
However, Mountain and Sea Academy made it a regular trial for newly promoted masters to contract pets. They even created a special mystic realm for this purpose, requiring the students to find, identify, collect, contract, and survive alone in the wild, and even learn to cooperate or face competition.
Bai Wushang believed there were disadvantages and advantages to this mode of training.
The downside was that under such rules, each participant would need to figure out how to take in a pet on their own, inevitably by strategy or even physical combat, with a high risk factor. There should be a significant number of people who would not be able to complete the contract, and would be eliminated from the competition.
The advantage was that the academy provided the perfect platform for contracting, and such an opportunity was rare. For students who had the ability or the opportunity to have more options and possibilities, the probability of obtaining a quality pet increased significantly… At the sa ti, with contracting and growing in this environnt, the relationship between the human and the pet was stronger, and it would be rare for a pet beast to defect…
Swish!
There was a sudden strange noise from a grassy area to the side, and the movent was quite loud, with faint sounds of human giggles and the hissing of struggling beasts.
Bai Wushang frowned and quietly approached, hiding behind a tree to observe in secret.
“Hahaha, after an hour of hard work, I actually caught this Thunderhorn Bull. Nana, my trap-making skills are flawless, right?”
A man in gray pointed to a massive crater in the ground, and laughed triumphantly and openly.
Thunderhorn Bull?
Bai Wushang was surprised. That was a Mortal Bone level 6-star transcendent creature. Not only did it possess the rare lightning attribute, but it also had two stages of natural evolution, and at the stage of youth, it belonged to the absolute premium type of pet beast.
“Brother He is so great!” A girl wearing a blue floral decorated dress that showed off her shoulders covered her mouth and laughed, her voice very soft and clingy.
“Hey, wait a bit longer for this guy to toss and turn and get so tired that it’s close to being fatigued, then I’ll sign a pet contract with it; it’s a success rate of 80-90 percent,” the man in gray said with strong confidence in his voice.
“Brother He~.”
The blue-skirted girl nad Nana suddenly rested her slender arm on the gray-clad man’s shoulder, and her red lips ca up to his ear.
“Brother He, can, can you let contract this Thunderhorn Bull first~~~.”
“Ah? B-but Nana, didn’t we discuss this when we were teaming up? The first one caught should rightly be mine first… How co you..”
Mua~
The blue-skirted girl kissed the man in gray’s cheek, and daintily said, “Brother He, you’re so powerful; are you still afraid of not catching a better pet? I don’t know why, but when I saw this Thunderhorn Bull, I felt a special connection when I saw it, and liked it very much, so let this little sister have it, please~.”
The man in gray was with his back to Bai Wushang, but when Bai Wushang saw this, his body froze, and his ears turned red.
“Well… that’s fine… Nana, as long as you like it…”
The man in gray’s voice was mincing, and Bai Wushang could even imagine his flushed cheeks.
What an inexperienced teenager, bought off by this little benefit; he’s got no spine! spat Bai Wushang inwardly.
“Moo! Moo! Moo!”
The Thunderhorn Bull struggled desperately in the deep pit, charging and bouncing as hard as it could, and making a loud rattling noise.
“Brother He, how is it still so vigorous… It won’t run out, will it…”
“Don’t worry, my trap is two ters deep; how can it run out by itself!”
Peng! Peng, peng! Peng, peng, peng!!!
Bai Wushang couldn’t see the situation in the deep pit with dozens of ters between them, but he could also feel the Thunderhorn Bull going berserk just by the sound, struggling more violently with every move.
After a huge collision, a yellow-bodied bull jumped up furiously from the deep pit, soared a ter or two into mid-air, and finally landed heavily on the ground.
Huh, it just learned the skill Air Jump? That’s kind of interesting. These two are going to be out of luck…
