My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 28 Is this even food?

After assessing the condition of the Gale Wolf, Yu Fei put it down.

The Gale Wolf is a very proud species.

If you forcibly stop it from continuing to fight at this point, it may actually cause it to become depressed.

It can accept failure, but it cannot accept being forced into failure by others when it still has the strength to fight.

"Sorry, junior," Yu Fei said to Zhou Lu, "I'll treat you to dinner after the exam."

As a beast tamer, he naturally knew how much effort Zhou Lu had to put in to train a blade of grass to its current level.

But that's just how battles are. Not to mention that the third round of exams was going to be more difficult, even just to take care of his own Gale Wolf's mentality, Yu Fei had to make the Gale Wolf continue fighting.

Zhou Lu was somewhat disappointed that Hua Huo hadn't won in one strike, but when he heard Yu Fei's words, a certain passion within him was ignited.

He was already feeling a little guilty about easily defeating Wu Xiaoqing in the second round.

The exam was so easy that all his effort and hard work seemed completely meaningless.

He has already achieved his expected goal. If there is a battle in the third round where he has to fight with all his might, even if he loses, he will have no regrets.

I won, and I earned the credits.

Even if you lose, you can learn from this defeat and understand the shortcomings of your fireworks, so you can train in a targeted manner.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu's eyes hardened: "Bring it on, senior."

As soon as Zhou Lu finished speaking, Hua Huo used the runners that had been buried under Zhou Lu's feet to pull herself back from in front of Yu Fei.

Although it can walk, it still doesn't have an advantage against the speed-specialized Gale Wolf.

Although the way she returned was exactly the same as using a headbutt, Fireworks could slow down during flight by using the pre-buried runners, thus allowing herself to land steadily in front of Zhou Lu.

"Your spirit pet is very strong and interesting." Yu Fei couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this. "Even the second-tier plant spirit beasts I've encountered in the competition aren't as agile and intelligent as this."

Fireworks, hearing the praise, proudly raised its branches: o(￣▽￣)o

"Let's continue!" Yu Fei withdrew his gaze and quickly gave the instruction:

"Wind Wolf! Use Wind Blade!"

He had previously underestimated Zhou Lu's spirit beast because it was only at the first level.

First-tier plant-type spirit beasts are generally considered to be the weakest.

But now, he dares not underestimate fireworks any longer.

It seems to have some way of burying its offspring underground, and combined with its [vine entanglement], getting close to it is a very unwise tactic.

The best way to deal with this kind of enemy is to fight from a distance, using wind blades to constantly wear down the opponent's spirit beast's condition.

At the same time, the agile Gale Wolf can easily dodge the opponent's sudden vine attacks.

Most importantly, the opponent's main attack method is undoubtedly that headbutt skill.

As long as the Gale Wolf stays close to you, you can use other skills to block the headbutt without having to use your body as a meat shield to take the hit.

Yu Fei truly deserves to be called an elite player on the school team.

In such a short time, he saw through the shortcomings of fireworks.

After the battle resumed, Gale Wolf never approached Hanabi again, but stood at Yu Fei's feet, constantly using wind blades on Hanabi.

When Hanabi tried to entangle it with vines, it comfortably dodged away.

After being hit once, Yu Fei clearly didn't intend to give Hanabi another chance to launch a headbutt attack.

Wind Blade can easily sever the vines that Fireworks uses for offense or defense.

With her ranged attacks and agile movements, Hanabi was completely unable to inflict any damage on Gale Wolf.

Hanabi inevitably felt depressed.

Zhou Lu also understood that he probably wouldn't be able to win this battle.

"It's okay. We've already done a great job getting this far," Zhou Lu said to Hanabi.

Hanabi heard her master's comforting words and recalled her master's expectations.

No! I must fight for these last points!

Thinking this, Hanabi stretched the vine into her flowerpot, seemingly rummaging through it for something.

Clang, clang, thump, thump!

Three white mushrooms appeared on the vines of the fireworks.

Holy crap? Why does this mushroom look so familiar?

Zhou Lu was dumbfounded when he saw the mushrooms that the fireworks had rolled out.

Fireworks swung the mushroom and slapped it at the face of the Gale Wolf.

The Gale Wolf, unsuspecting, directly used its wind blades to cut the target.

Under Hanabi's deliberate control, three wind blades slashed towards the three mushrooms.

Seemingly sensing some kind of threat, the three mushrooms instantly expanded.

puff!puff!puff!

The wind blades fell, but instead sliced ​​into three enormous white humanoid figures.

Three tall, muscular mushroom-shaped figures appeared in front of Gale Wolf.

They stood before the Gale Wolf in three completely different postures, their ferocious muscles displayed to the fullest extent in their poses.

"What the hell is this?!" Yu Fei exclaimed, his eyes wide as he pointed at the three mushrooms in the field.

Zhou Lu coughed twice guiltily. He had no idea when Huahuo had taken the three mushrooms from Xiaoqing's lab.

Three enlarged mushrooms chased after the Gale Wolf and gave it a good beating.

Fortunately, the Gale Wolf was fast and managed to escape, but it was clearly helpless against the three mushrooms.

"Shouldn't it... be considered food?" Zhou Lu said cautiously.

Yu Fei exclaimed incredulously, "This is food?!"

He glanced at the referee beside him: "How do I calculate this?"

The referee adjusted his glasses and checked the information using the device next to him.

With the modern beast-taming system so well-developed, using beast-taming equipment in dungeon exploration is perfectly normal.

However, such equipment is not allowed in either exams or competitions.

However, there are always exceptions.

Considering that some spirit beasts need to eat to activate their skills, while others need to use their own weapons, exemptions are granted for food and ordinary weapons that have been reported and approved in advance during exams and competitions.

The referee, of course, didn't think these three mushrooms were food.

Where on earth can you find food like this?

But the information he found opened his eyes.

"Ah...this really looks like food..."

"What?" Yu Fei exclaimed in shock, and he leaned closer to the referee to take a look.

******

Name: [Expanded Delicious Mushroom]

Application Category: Natural Foods (Level 2 Restricted)

Special effects: weight loss, fitness

Note: This is a type of food that will make you want to exercise.

Applicant: Wu Xiaoqing

*****

God, you can't resist exercising, and if you want to eat mushrooms you have to fight them, right?

After reading it, Yu Fei remained silent for a long while, then glanced back at the three mushrooms still chasing his Gale Wolves: "Is this reasonable?"

"I think it's unreasonable," the referee said helplessly. "But there was indeed a legitimate application. You can apply for a review afterward, but this time... it seems there really is no problem; it's food."

Yu Fei's lips twitched slightly.

Seeing Yu Fei and the referee's performance, Zhou Lu felt a little embarrassed: "How about... I pass?"

The referee looked at Yu Fei.

Yu Fei shook his head and said, "It was legal and compliant. If you lose, you lose."

He paused, then chuckled and asked Zhou Lu, "Junior, do you still have any of these mushrooms?"

The referee ruthlessly shattered Yu Fei's illusions: "Don't even think about it. I'll submit my application after this exam. This is an item that can disrupt the fairness of a duel."

Yu Fei sighed in disappointment.

Then he recalled his Gale Wolf and released his main spirit pet, the Rampage Gale Wolf King.

As expected of the Wolf King, with three wind blades, the three mushrooms were cleaved in two.

While Yu Fei was busy chopping mushrooms, the results of the third round were gradually being released.

"Zhou Lu...is Zhou Minghai's son?" Wu Sicheng looked at the list of perfect scores and asked his assistant thoughtfully.

"Yes. The spirit pet is a Dream Rain Flower."

"A perfect score for a first-tier Dream Rain Flower? Interesting." Wu Sicheng seemed to have thought of something. "A perfect score should be rewarded. Take out those ancient books from my collection."

"Aren't those books from your personal collection?" the assistant asked in surprise.

"It's useless to me."

"understood."

"Wait!" Wu Sicheng glanced at the photos on the table and suddenly said, "As a reward, you can choose some materials or spirit beast skill cards. As for these ancient books, have a student put them up for sale on the forum, just saying they are a few old books."

The assistant looked at Wu Sicheng with a puzzled expression. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Wu Sicheng gave a wry smile and didn't say anything more.

The reward for a perfect score will be made public.

You almost got your child killed too, Lao Zhou.

Well, let's see if your child is destined for it.

Please read on!
