Beast Taming: My first spirit beast was a frog junior?

After finishing breakfast, Wawa, feeling much better, slowly walked downstairs.

Zhou Li looked at Wawa with his large face, his eyes revealing the exhaustion he had felt after a night of training.

"I'm not trying to be mean, Brother Xian, but it's one thing for you to be so unrestrained, but how come your spirit beast looks so listless and weak?"

His tone was both cautionary and admonitory: "This period is crucial for us. The entrance exam determines our evaluation, and the evaluation determines our resources. I'm okay, but for you..."

He frowned as he spoke.

"Don't worry, it's alright." Xu Xian felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.

"It's really nothing. Didn't I give you a million?" Zhou Li asked, puzzled. "I won't say anything about evolving your frog junior or anything, but raising it to the peak of the advanced level shouldn't be a problem. Given your frog junior's condition, you didn't use the money for other things, did you?"

Zhou Li wouldn't normally have thought of it this way.

After all, Xu Xian had always been a diligent top student in his original class, and apart from himself, he had very little interaction with the others.

Even when Xiao Lili, the class beauty, took the initiative to show her affection, he remained unmoved.

But now...

Zhou Li suspected that Xu Xian might have picked up some bad habits.

Xu Xian could tell from Zhou Li's expression that he was overthinking things.

"Come with me." He pulled the other person to the second floor where the purchased equipment was located.

They also took out the nutritional supplements they had prepared for Wawa.

"I'm just a pharmacist apprentice. If it weren't for the lack of relevant papers and research results, I would already be a certified pharmacist."

Zhou Li gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're awesome."

Back on the first floor, Wawa had recovered considerably.

Xu Xian asked, "Brother Li, why do you have time to play with me instead of focusing on your training?"

Zhou Li shrugged. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that Fu Gui is too young and not suitable for training yet. Right now, he can only rely on nutritional supplements to improve on his own."

At this point, Zhou Li was a little depressed. "I was thinking of participating in the competition that Lao Ban mentioned on the 15th next week and making a name for myself. Now it seems that's out of the question. Although my Fugui is powerful, it has only been two months since it hatched. Its energy level is barely at the initial level four. It is in the period of eating and drinking well. Even if it is a bronze species, it is the one with the strongest defense among bronze species. How can it compare with those black iron species spirit beasts that are already more mature?"

"Then let's see what your brother, Xian, has to do," Xu Xian said with a smile, picking up Wawa. "I'll show you how my Wawa can dominate the battlefield."

Wawa then crossed his arms, raised his head, and looked quite imposing.

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Then I'll be looking forward to you getting angry, Brother Xian."

Amidst laughter and conversation.

Xu Xian and Zhou Li walked outside.

A three-wheeled motorcycle was parked on the side.

This is the means of transportation Zhou Li used to get to Xu Xian's house.

Xu Xian clicked his tongue, "You've fallen on hard times, Brother Li."

"Who do you think you are?" Zhou Li rolled his eyes, got into the car, and slapped the side of the car. "Stop talking nonsense, get in the car, let's go to where your frog-training junior is."

Xu Xian readily agreed, and he was more than happy to have someone serve as his driver.

With his directions, Zhou Li slowly drove the three-wheeled vehicle to the place where Xu Xian trained Wawa.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhou Li took out his fishing rod to prepare to fish. The golden-armored beast on his shoulder even made soft "ya ya ya" sounds to help him. Xu Xian glanced at it but didn't pay any more attention to it.

Take out your phone to measure the time, and let Wawa begin basic physical training.

Until the midday sun was at its strongest.

Wawa jumped into the water, swallowed the nutritional supplement, and then submerged himself in the water, looking quite uncomfortable.

Zhou Li packed up his line in frustration, having caught nothing after fishing all morning.

Xu Xian pulled a small jar of nutrient solution from the three-wheeled vehicle. The liquid looked like it was shimmering with golden light. He glanced at it twice, and even through the glass jar, he could tell at a glance that the liquid was extremely pure.

This technique is far superior to his.

"Who made this for you? Let me see one of the bottles." Xu Xian reached out his hand.

After feeding the golden-armored beast, Zhou Li carefully took out a can and handed it to Xu Xian, saying, "Be careful, this can costs almost 30,000 yuan."

"What!?" Xu Xian's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the thing in his hand.

"Who made this for you? It's so expensive!" Xu Xian asked curiously, looking at the liquid that seemed to be bubbling with golden light.

"Do you know Yuan Xingchen?"

"Yuan Xingchen? The top pharmacist in Tree City, a rare high-level pharmacist in the entire Dragon Kingdom. The nutritional potions he concocted for you, Fu Gui?"

"good."

"...Awesome!" Xu Xian shook his head and struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter the word.

It should be noted that the professor at Tree City University was only a mid-level pharmacist.

He really didn't expect that Zhou Li's family could hire this person to help.

Out of curiosity, I asked, "Brother Li, what exactly does your family do?"

Zhou Li frowned. "I don't really know either. I only know that we're doing some transportation work. Fugui was discovered by a worker during one of those transportation jobs, and my dad bought it for a hefty price—a full 50 million."

Xu Xian: "..."

He no longer wanted to talk about rich dogs or anything like that.

Zhou Li doesn't even know what his family does; isn't he just a typical foolish son of a landlord?

They returned the medicine to the other party and stopped dwelling on the matter.

After a short rest, Wawa continued training, while Zhou Li went fishing.

However, the stream was so clear that it was easy to see that there were hardly any fish, only some small shrimp, which Zhou Li didn't care about at all.

In the afternoon, the light was even stronger.

The coolness by the stream prevented Xu Xian and Zhou Li from feeling too hot.

Zhou Li, maintaining his fishing posture, stared intently at the water's surface.

"Ah~ Ah!!" The golden-armored beast swayed its long, thin tail and cried out, its two small paws tugging at Zhou Li's clothes.

Hearing the sound, Xu Xian looked back and saw Zhou Li's fishing rod and line swaying.

Zhou Li jumped to his feet. "Damn it, they finally took the bait!"

Gripping the fishing rod firmly, Zhou Li swung his arms back and forth. It seemed that the fish in the water was too strong, making it difficult for Zhou Li to pull it out of the water for a while. So he simply let it go, intending to exhaust the fish.

Xu Xian glanced at Wawa, who was doing frog jumps on his own, then turned and walked over to Zhou Li.

Looking into the water, all one could see was a dark shadow stirring up the mud and sand, raising silt and turning the water's surface yellow.

"About a meter long, wow, you actually caught a big one!" Xu Xian exclaimed in surprise.

"Go get the net!" Zhou Li shouted.

Xu Xian quickly picked up the net to prepare to catch the big fish.

Just then, the roar of a motorcycle engine came from afar.

Not just one, but many.

However, Xu Xian and Zhou Li did not pay any attention to it.

The area below this stream is a popular spot for anglers, so it's normal to hear this sound.

Unexpectedly, the sound grew closer and closer, even causing Wawa to stop training.

Because it had already seen seven or eight motorcycles coming.

"Catch it!" Zhou Li pulled it in forcefully.

As Xu Xian used his net to create turbidity on the water's edge, a lively, meter-long fish was caught in the net. He lifted the net out of the water with both hands, revealing the fish's full size.

His small eyes were as dull as dead fish eyes, as if they had never been baptized by wisdom.

His entire body was covered in what looked like rock-like lumps on his back.

Its entire body is dark blue-black, with fine and dense scales.

Most importantly, this large fish has a total of nine unusual small holes on its back and abdomen.

It's like air is leaking out, or like the respiratory tract, with white foam coming out.

"It's actually a nine-legged fish! Awesome, Brother Li!" Xu Xian was overjoyed.
