Ch. 6 - Arguing is Just the Weak People's Whining

Ling Qingxue had just stepped out of the office when she bumped into several people.

Zhang Yuan and two other classmates.

"Ling Qingxue, what business do you have with the class master?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

"None of your business."

Ling Qingxue didn't really want to deal with her and was about to leave.

Zhang Yuan glanced at her. Seeing a black head in her backpack, something flashed through her mind.

Ling Qingxue had actually contracted the beast egg she'd found!

That egg was one she'd picked up from a stray dog's den; its life force was weak, and it would hatch into the most worthless kind of beast.

She hadn't expected someone to actually contract it!

"You're really stupid. You could have used a beast egg issued by the school to break through the ranks, but you ended up contracting a mongrel with no bloodline. You're a disgrace to Linjiang School! You should just drop out."

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, the other two sized up Wu Liang, and then a burst of laughter erupted.

"That's hilarious! A contract with a mutt? Who even comes up with that? My spirit cat could kill it ten times over with a single swipe!"

"For real? Contracting a beast without a bloodline? That means you're stuck at the First-Rank for life! What's the point of even taking the Martial Arts University entrance exam?"

Ling Qingxue ignored the mockery.

If she couldn't even handle this much, she wouldn't have gotten the title of Empress in her previous life.

The state of mind is sometimes a form of cultivation.

The path of cultivation was built step by step. Perhaps she could find a way to evolve without bloodlines.

She would never give up until the very last moment!

The Empress title was more than just an identity; it represented the blood and tears she endured in her previous life.

Ling Qingxue didn't speak; she simply left the office.

Her silence, in the eyes of the others, was nothing more than a sign of guilt and having nothing to say.

"How ridiculous! Still acting all high and mighty at a time like this? Does she really think being pretty can change her fate? She's just a pretty face, nothing more."

Hearing this, Wu Liang was immediately angered.

How dare you call my human a pretty face? You're asking for trouble!

After a few more evolutions, I'll devour them all in one gulp.

Ling Qingxue pushed his head back.

"Don't care too much about what others think. Only we know our own path. Arguing is just the weak's whining. Defeating them is what we should do."

Hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly felt a bit more respect for his pet master.

Humans were easily swayed by emotions. To ignore such an insult was quite impressive.

If it had been him, he wouldn't have been able to stand it; he would have charged forward and attacked.

Biting a chunk of their flesh would make them hurt for days.

Ling Qingxue led him to the school gate and handed the leave slip to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper was somewhat surprised to see the leave period.

"Student, remember to return on time in seven days. It will be troublesome if you miss the mock exam."

Although he was just a gatekeeper, he fulfilled his duty to remind her.

"I will."

Ling Qingxue put the leave slip back in her bag and left the school.

She didn't have much herself, not even any dry food, only Wu Liang and an alloy dagger she had bought earlier.

This time, she planned to enter the Green Forest!

The biggest problem now was Wu Liang's bloodline.

Without solving this problem, even if she obtained the Star Stone, it would be useless.

She would try a body-forging technique, using the bloodlines of other magical beasts to stimulate Wu Liang's hidden bloodline, in an attempt to activate his survival instinct through this bloodline conflict. The approach was extremely risky, with a success rate of less than 10%.

But she had no other choice; even being a reborn Empress wouldn't help.

Without risking her life, she could only wait to die!

"Silly dog, try harder! I'm really worried we won't pull this off."

Ling Qingxue's expression was somewhat helpless.

She didn't actually blame Wu Liang; after all, it was her choice.

However, Wu Liang's potential was so poor that even she was ashamed to look at him.

Having so much knowledge but nowhere to use it was so disheartening...

Inside the backpack, Wu Liang was vehemently protesting the way his pet owner had named him.

Silly dog?

He was a divine beast, okay?!

The majestic Gluttonous Divine Beast, the Gluttonous Beast that devours everything.

If he could communicate directly now, he would definitely yell back.

"System, when can I communicate with my master through mental power?"

[When your spiritual power reaches 100 points, you'll be able to achieve complete mental communication. Also, I can tell you in advance that once you break through to the King Level, you can transform into human form.]

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang immediately became excited.

Transforming at the King Level? That's amazing!

Let's see if my master still dares to call me a stupid dog then.

Come to think of it, his contract owner was quite good-looking. Would he also find a wife like her when the time came?

Sensing Wu Liang's unusual thoughts, Ling Qingxue slapped him back into her bag.

Marrying a mongrel? Never in her life!

......

Ling Qingxue glanced at her wallet—around eight hundred yuan. If she didn't earn more, she'd starve.

Another purpose of her trip to the Green Forest was to earn money.

In this world, without money, you can't get anywhere.

She reluctantly spent four hundred yuan on a lot of jerky to stave off hunger, but Wu Liang's appetite was enormous; she really couldn't afford to feed him anymore. He'd only been hatched a day ago, yet his appetite was already greater than hers.

His growth rate was almost visible to the naked eye.

In just one night, he had grown even larger.

Wu Liang thought, "So what about that? With unlimited food, I can keep growing."

He glanced at his five skills:

"Gluttonous Stomach" Lv2, Greed Lv1, "Damage Reduction" Lv1, "Size Control" Lv1, "Supernatural Smell" Lv1.

Wu Liang was slightly satisfied. The "Damage Reduction" skill was incredibly powerful, directly reducing the damage he received.

If he leveled it up to 100, wouldn't he be invincible?

If he could also add a damage reflection skill, that would be over the top! The "Gluttonous Stomach" skill was also very strong, with an incredibly fast digestion speed.

The food was completely digested; he didn't even need to poop after eating, thus saving him the trouble of wiping his bottom.

The God-Slaying Gluttonous Beast was really awesome.

......

Ling Qingxue ran all the way to the Green Forest.

This was the largest forest in Linjiang City, home to many magical beasts up to the Fourth Level, their ferocity as expected.

If Wu Liang were to encounter such an opponent now, their mere intent would crush him.

Upon entering the Green Forest, the air became fresher, carrying a faint fragrance of plants and soil.

With his "Supernatural Smell" skill, Wu Liang could smell many hidden things.

For example, there was an ordinary rabbit hiding in the grass fifty meters to his right.

Although it wasn't a magical beast, eating it should still grant some attribute points, but Wu Liang was interested in its evolution points.

At the very least, it should provide some evolution points, right?

He only needed three more evolution points to evolve, although the next form, the Devouring Beast, wasn't much better.

But at least it had a name; it wasn't just a "hybrid little beast."

"Damn it, the System is truly brain-dead! It didn't even give me a name, making me lose face."
