Soon, Su Yanjing arrived at the Astral Pet combat stadium.

Su Yanying did not wear the academy uniform but the guard recognized her. He let her in before she presented her student card.

“Pyro Cut!”

“The Pyro Canine has used the Pyro Cut!”

“Such a shame that the Pyro Cut did not hit its target. The Fire Warmonster dodged the strike. Wait a minute. No! The Pyro Cut is turning around. Good heavens, the Pyro Cut is traveling back!!”

Su Yanying heard the judge shouting in excitement as soon as she stepped into the stadium. His voice could be heard throughout the entire venue; it was loud enough to wake the dead.

At the same time, people were thrilled and shouting on the spectator seats on the sides of the entrance corridor.

This was of no surprise to Su Yanjing who kept her calm. Such a view couldn’t be more familiar to her.

She looked around and found the seats of her cla.s.s.

Cla.s.s Two, Grade Three.

She hurried over. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that her pet Lightning Rat was still behind her…

That little guy… she had never brought it to such a grand event. Would it be scared by this magnificent scene with tens of thousands of people shouting their lungs out?

Su Yanjing turned around at once, only to find the Lightning Rat was still close behind her. When she stopped, it stopped as well and the Lightning Rat raised its head to look at her. She could see confusion in those small eyes that were only as big as a crack.

It was unaffected… Inside, Su Yanying felt she could breathe again. Pets weren’t like the average wild animals. Pets had basic thinking and awareness abilities. A pet that was more timid would most likely be immobilized from fright in situations like this.

Time was pressing. She had just picked up the Lightning Rat. She didn’t have time to train with it or give it some time to adjust.

Su Yanying was gladly surprised to see that the Lightning Rat was courageous and fearless.

“Ying Ying, where have you been? I couldn’t find you anywhere. You frightened me there!”

Lan Lele, Su Yanying’s friend, had spotted her as soon as she arrived at her cla.s.s’ seats. The former ran over at once.

“I went to pick up my Astral Pet,” Su Yanying said as she followed Lan Lele to the seats of their cla.s.s. Su Yanying threw a glance at the games and asked, “Which one is it now?”

“The fourth one. You’re almost up, just after Ice Jiang finishes her match.” Lan Lele pouted her lips to point at the back of someone with black hair in front of them. Both that person and Su Yanying were the center of attention in the cla.s.s. Over time, due to the influence of such an environment, those two students had grown to be quite compet.i.tive.

Since Lan Lele was Su Yanying’s friend, she naturally didn’t have nice feelings about that student.

“Oh.” Su Yanying nodded. She didn’t mind this and kept her gaze on the matches.

Then, Lan Lele noticed the Lightning Rat that was eating the fruit peels on the ground near Su Yanying’s food. “This is the Lightning Rat that you sent out for pet boarding, right? Is it starving? Why is it eating anything it can find?” Lan Lele sounded surprised.

Hearing her words, Su Yanying turned around. Her expression changed as she saw the Lighting Rat that was holding a piece of fruit peel, eating happily.

“Drop it. It’s too dirty,” said Su Yanying while she used the power of the contract to send across her instructions at the same time.

As a person with a morbid fear of getting dirty, she could never tolerate seeing her pets eating garbage on the ground.

In the meantime, this reminded her of that pet store!

“That vicious businessman!”

When the matches were over, she would go to the a.s.sociation of Astral Pets to file a complaint against that store!

Sensing Su Yanying’s orders, the Lightning Rat stopped, blinking its googly eyes.

Lan Lele took a look at the Lightning Rat. Something came to her mind. “Are you going to have it join you in this match?” She looked at Su Yanying, stunned.

“Of course.” Su Yanying remained composed.

Lan Lele opened her beautiful eyes wide. “Have you lost your mind? This is the annual Pet Tournament. The pets that can join in the matches should be at the second rank or higher. Aren’t you sending the Lightning Rat to its death by taking it with you?”

“The academy has rules that no casualties are allowed in the matches. The judge will call it off in time in case of potential danger,” Su Yanying replied.

“Even so, say the Lightning Rat doesn’t lose its life, but what would be the benefit of sending it in? This is just a pet at the intermediate stage of the first rank. Any pet out there can defeat it.” Lan Lele was baffled.
