Chapter 4: Choosing A Spirit Beast

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Fei was speechless.

Just now, he had received a message from Mayor Edward. He had sent him a message saying that he would treat Shen Fei to a meal when he was free.

If he was not mistaken, she must have found out about his test results and asked him to break off the engagement.

He did not expect that the old trick of breaking off an engagement with a good-for-nothing would actually happen to him!

However, Shen Fei changed his mind.

‘Who cares!’

If he broke off the engagement, he would not be the one who suffered!

‘Can’t we just pretend that this whole engagement thing didn’t happen?’

Anyway, as long as his true talent was not exposed, the Gelin family would cancel the engagement with him sooner or later.

Then, he would be free!

Thinking of this, Shen Fei’s mood became cheerful.

With a relaxed expression on his face, he began to stroll around the cages that held the spirit beasts.

On the first and second floor, there were only some ordinary Page-rank spirit beasts. On the higher floors, there were Baron-rank spirit beasts.

These spirit beasts were able to use the elemental power in the air for a short period of time to shoot out an ice ball or a fireball.

However, it would usually take a Page-rank spirit beast two hours to re-use the skill after shooting it!

For the rest of the time, they could only use melee combat like ordinary animals.

“Come, Shen Fei.”

The homeroom teacher stood in front of a Page-rank Ape-type spirit beast and warmly greeted Shen Fei.

“Shen Fei, F-class talent is very weak in the eyes of others, but as long as it is used well, it is not inferior to C-class talent! As an experienced person, I’ll teach you how to choose a spirit beast that can unleash its potential to the fullest…”

“There’s no need for that, sir.” Shen Fei quickly waved his hand. “I know how to choose the right one. My F-class talent is Strength Enhancement, so I have to choose one with natural strength to better display the effect of the talent!”

“Then I won’t say much. I’ve cleared the way for you at the end. On the third floor, there’s a Count-rank spirit beast that will complement your talent.”

The homeroom teacher patted Shen Fei’s shoulder sincerely.

“Don’t worry about your classmates. Drawing an F-class talent isn’t the end of your life. You still have a long future ahead of you, Shen Fei. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties with your beast, feel free to come to me. I’ll do my best to help you solve them.”

“Thank you for your concern, sir. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Go on. Sign the contract with that Count-rank spirit beast as soon as possible. Then, you can quietly train yourself and surpass them!”

“Alright,” he said.

Being cared for like this, Shen Fei’s mood became sunnier. He quickened his pace and arrived at the third floor.

There were already a few Baron-rank spirit beasts here.

For example, the Fire Barrel Boar was famous for its high-intensity explosive power. Only a light knock on the wall from this beast could easily destroy the entire structure.

Shen Fei walked to the side of the iron cage where the Fire Barrel Boar was kept, and quietly released his scent.

Swish…

As soon as he walked over, the little pig with sparks all over its body seemed to sense something. It immediately ran to his side excitedly, laying down on the ground, and showing him its belly.

Its small black eyes were filled with pleading. This little pig was quite likable.

Shen Fei stretched out his hand and scratched the little pig’s belly. He then looked at its attribute panel.

[Fire Barrel Boar]

[Rank: Baron, Low grade]

[HP: 20]

[Attack: 16]

[Defense: 15]

[Spirit: 11]

[Speed: 11]

[Special skill: Self-sacrificing Explosion (Charge forward and cause a large area explosion.)]

Shen Fei took a look at its attributes. Other than its skill’s high-attack damage, its attributes are even worse than some Page-rank spirit beasts!

Not to mention, in Shen Fei’s memories, the number of accidental explosions from the Fire Barrel Boars that killed their Beastmasters were simply too many to count!

For the sake of his own safety, he definitely could not have this pig.

At this point, Shen Fei decisively retracted his hand and looked elsewhere.

On the other side of the stadium, a Willowy Worm, which had fused with a tree trunk and was wonderful at disguising itself, crawled over from the wall and quietly approached Shen Fei.

As soon as it got close, it placed its feelers on Shen Fei’s body in a friendly manner.

[Willowy Worm]

[Rank: Page, High grade]

[HP: 19]

[Attack: 25]

[Defense: 15]

[Spirit: 10]

[Speed: 25]

[Special skill: Blood-sucking (By stabbing its feelers into the blood vessels of its prey in a sneak attack, it can suck the prey dry to recover its own stamina.)]

Seeing these words, Shen Fei’s body was covered in goosebumps. He quickly removed the tentacles on his body, buttoned up his collar, and walked in another direction of the venue.

‘Forget the bug.’

After just two steps, Shen Fei suddenly heard Shale’s voice.

“Come and take a look! There’s a medium grade Count-rank spirit beast here!”

When the surrounding people heard that there was a Count-rank spirit beast, they gathered around curiously. Shen Fei hurriedly walked over, too.

In the middle of the crowd was a glass cage. Inside it was a three-meter tall brown bear with a pair of dark black claws! The brown bear’s fur was burning like flames.

This must be the Count-rank spirit beast that the homeroom teacher had mentioned.

[Blaze Bear]

[Rank: Count, Medium grade]

[HP: 80]

[Attack: 100]

[Defense: 80]

[Spirit: 75]

[Speed: 40]

[Special skill: All-out Claw Strike (Uses sharp claws with the power of 10,000 tons to tear apart all obstacles in front of you and enter a berserk state. Strength will be doubled!)]

It was an earth-attribute spirit beast, the Blaze Bear! Known for its incredible strength, its powerful and sharp claws could easily tear through steel bars that should withstand several tons of force.

It could be said that the Blaze Bear was a spirit beast that was specially made for the Strength Enhancement talent!

If it was Shen Fei who had just awakened his strength, he would not hesitate to take this spirit beast! However, Shen Fei’s current talent was the SSS-class Unlimited Evolution.

Although the Blaze Bear was extremely strong, its speed was among the slowest in its rank.

There might not be any major problems in the early stages, but in the later stages, this lack of speed would become a fatal flaw!

In an instant, Shen Fei lost all interest in the bear.

He turned his head and went to look for other suitable spirit beasts.

Aloy wore a pair of sunglasses and quietly followed behind Shen Fei. She had seen the entire scene just now.

It was really strange. Aloy stared at Shen Fei doubtfully.

She remembered that in her previous life, after Shen Fei found out about his talent, the first thing he did was to target this bear. There was no reason for him to give up.

Other than this Blaze Bear, there was no other F-class talent that was more suitable for him.

Aloy took off her sunglasses, and a white light flashed in her eyes.

It was as if everything around her had been frozen in place. Everyone and everything was flowing slowly like a stream in her eyes.

This was her unique ability-to see the trajectory of life.

As long as she thought of it, she could freely spy on the other party’s future!

This way, she would be able to find the reason why Shen Fei changed his choice.
