Dark Domain Mad Lion
The chill emanating from the Qingluan was nothing compared to the icy coldness in Gu Xiaoyue's gaze.
Many classmates gasped. When Lin Zhiyi challenged her a few days ago, the Qingluan was only at Young life stage 3, and now it's already at Young life stage 4?
This is just too heaven-defying!
It must be Young Master Chu who threw a lot of money and treasures at Gu Xiaoyue!
Gu Xiaoyue looked coldly at Gu Xiaoxing and Yu Jing.
The fear in Gu Xiaoxing's heart surfaced again. Her pet beast was only at Young life stage 2 and hadn't even reached Young life stage 3 yet; it was impossible to beat a Young life stage 4 Qingluan.
"But you are only relying on Chu Li. Without Chu Li, you are nothing!"
Gu Xiaoxing sounded a bit hysterical, shouting out what many classmates were thinking.
She was terrified deep down; on one hand, it was the oppressive feeling from Gu Xiaoyue, and on the other, Gu Xiaoyue, whom she had always bullied, was about to far surpass her!
It had only been a month since school started, and the gap was already this large. If this continued, wouldn't she soon be at the mercy of Gu Xiaoyue to be crushed at will?
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that everyone wanted to pull Gu Xiaoyue down from her pedestal and act now!
"If you also had a big tree to lean on, would you still come over and say I'm relying on Chu Li?
I won't argue with you. The first place is mine.
Those who are unconvinced—come and fight!"
Gu Xiaoyue unleashed her full aura. The other classmates knew they were no match for her, so they all kept quiet.
After Teacher Han announced it again, the first place was Gu Xiaoyue.
Gu Xiaoyue watched with satisfaction as the task issued by the system showed a completed status.
Ye Wanrou came over, linked her arm with Gu Xiaoyue's, and whispered, "Xiao Yue, you are truly so cool! I want to hug your thigh in the future!"
Gu Xiaoyue chuckled. The strength she displayed was merely the tip of the iceberg.
The world is not lacking in geniuses, but there are countless who die young.
She still wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, so as not to incite thoughts of killing her and stealing her pets from those with ulterior motives.
"The last place is—Li Letong, 50 points.
It's a pity, go report to the key class tomorrow."
Teacher Han shook his head regretfully; he didn't want to give up on any student.
However, the elimination system itself could indeed make many students work harder.
Gu Xiaoyue had previously promised to eat with Ye Wanrou. After eating and returning home, she accepted the task reward for first place in the monthly exam.
A grey-black kitten appeared in front of her.
Its whole body was surrounded by black energy.
【Name】: Dark Domain Berserk Lion
【Rank】: Devil Rank mid-grade
【Attribute】: Dark attribute, Space attribute
【Skills】: Stealth (Low-level), Devour (Low-level), Space-Rending Claw (Low-level), Hidden Space (Passive skill)
【Level】: Young life stage 1
"So it hasn't fully grown yet; I thought it was just a kitten." Gu Xiaoyue poked its little nose, which was wet.
The little lion seemed to understand and protested with "aowu aowu" sounds.
"From now on, you will be called Xiao Hei." Seeing that the little lion was still a bit dissatisfied, Gu Xiaoyue continued, "Full name Hei Ming, alright? Nickname Xiao Hei!"
The beast is small, but it has a lot of attitude.
It even needs a cool name!
Trying out its space skill, Gu Xiaoyue moved her mind and entered Xiao Hei's space.
It was only one square meter in size.
However, she could perceive the surroundings from Xiao Hei's perspective, which was quite novel for her.
Emerging from the space, Gu Xiaoyue put Xiao Hei into the Yu Beast Space.
She had previously bought four compartments, and she placed Xiao Hei on the cushion in the fourth one.
"I'll go buy food for you tomorrow."
The next day after school, Gu Xiaoyue headed straight to Hualian Shopping Mall.
She looked for the same sales assistant as before.
The sales assistant was full of enthusiasm, "Beauty, what can I get for you today?"
Gu Xiaoyue looked around and asked the sales assistant in a low voice, "Do you have Devil Rank Beast Food in stock?"
The sales assistant's eyes widened, and her mouth formed an 'O' shape.
Devil Rank pet beasts have strong explosive power and high speed; they are very rare.
"We have it, but it needs to be pre-ordered. The fastest it will take is about a week."
"How much?" Gu Xiaoyue had over five million on her, given to her by Chu Li earlier.
"960,000 star coins per month."
"So expensive?" This time it was Gu Xiaoyue who was surprised.
It was a full 120,000 more expensive than Celestial Rank Beast Food.
The sales assistant explained, "Devil Rank pet beasts easily generate demonic energy and go berserk, so the food has a plant added to it—Guilu Grass. It balances the demonic energy, so it's a bit more expensive."
"Alright, help me order a six-month supply. Send me a star connection message when it arrives. For these few days, is it okay to feed it Heavenly Rank Beast Food or Celestial Rank Beast Food?"
After the discount, it still cost 5,180,000.
She also had to solve what Xiao Hei would eat for these few days.
"It's okay to feed it Celestial Rank Beast Food for a few days, then switch when the Devil Rank Beast Food arrives." The sales assistant also looked around cautiously, "This Devil Rank pet beast is—"
"Shh—" Gu Xiaoyue made a gesture to keep quiet, "It belongs to Student Chu's elders. You know Student Chu's family has many connections.
I am ordering it for his elders; they said it was obtained by chance in a secret realm.
You can't tell anyone; keep it a secret."
Hualian wouldn't check whose family had an Immortal Tier pet beast or a Devil Rank pet beast, but what if there were people with ulterior motives?
Gu Xiaoyue still used Chu Li as a shield.
The trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works.
"Still use Student Chu's membership card." Gu Xiaoyue handed over her brain and paid the deposit.
She fed Hei Ming Celestial Rank Beast Food for five days, and it still hadn't leveled up.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu had both leveled up from Young life stage 1 to Young life stage 2 in three or four days before.
Fortunately, on the sixth day, the Devil Rank Beast Food Gu Xiaoyue ordered arrived.
After feeding it one more day of Devil Rank Beast Food, Xiao Hei finally leveled up to Young life stage 2.
Its body size was a bit larger, still looking like a big cat.
The Hidden Space changed from one square meter to two square meters.
It seems that feeding Devil Rank pet beasts Celestial Rank Beast Food will somewhat affect their development.
To reward Xiao Hei, Gu Xiaoyue opened a bag of snacks for it.
The one hundred bags of snacks she bought before were already running low.
Fortunately, in less than two days, Chu Li transferred another three million to Gu Xiaoyue. She went to Hualian immediately and bought 160 bags of snacks.
Three million gone again.
Gu Xiaoyue had thought about not feeding them snacks, but with the snack rewards, the little ones really trained hard.
Feed them; they are her own pet beasts, she has to spoil them herself.
A few days later, Xiao Qi leveled up.
It leveled up from Young life stage 4 to Young life stage 5.
Its size was about the same as a Tibetan Mastiff.
Gu Xiaoyue wanted to go find Teacher Han to help her activate the beast simulation combat device.
But if she didn't have a Young life stage 5 pet beast, Teacher Han definitely wouldn't agree.
She didn't want to expose the Four-legged Beast yet.
So, she waited another three days.
Xiao Jiu and Qingqing followed and leveled up to Young life stage 5.
Now their growth speed was basically that Xiao Qi leveled up first, and Xiao Jiu and Qingqing leveled up three days later.
Originally, Qingqing should have leveled up faster, but Chu Li was still practicing the summoning skill with her every day.
It seemed he wouldn't stop until it was perfected.
So Qingqing leveled up almost simultaneously with Xiao Jiu.
Chu Li's Fire Phoenix, even with the blessing of lanzhi grass, couldn't match Qingqing's leveling speed. It was always two or three days later than Qingqing.
However, Chu Li always believed that Gu Xiaoyue had Heavenly Tier talent, so he had no doubts about Qingqing's heaven-defying growth.
"Aowu aowu—" Xiao Hei leveled up from Young life stage 2 to Young life stage 3.
Gu Xiaoyue calculated the days; after eating the Devil Rank Beast Food, its leveling speed was indeed about the same as Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu's.
You really have to give the right food to the right beast!
Xiao Hei's Hidden Space changed from 2 square meters to 4 square meters.
Perfect, she could also test Xiao Hei's combat power during the simulated combat.
