Chapter 7 Blood Lilyturf (1/2)

A Monster Trainer's individual strength was not particularly impressive. Even though it was said that at later stages, Familiars could greatly increase the survival abilities of its Trainer, it was only an increase in survival ability. At the end of the day, in order to actually do battle, Trainers had to rely on their Familiars.

The number of Familiars that a Trainer could establish Blood Contracts with was determined by the strength of the Trainer's soul. As a Familiar grew stronger, the Trainer was nourished as well, causing the Trainer's soul to grow and strengthen, allowing them to establish contracts with more Familiars.

In other words, everything was relative. Establishing Blood Contracts required the expenditure of a soul's energy. Even though the 'blood' was in Blood Contract, the blood was only a medium. What truly linked human and monster spiritually was actually the soul.

Of course, this link worked in both directions as well. If a Trainer were to use cruel and violent methods to control a Familiar, the Familiar would constantly putting up resistance, and this would result in an increased burden on the Trainer's soul. If the number of Familiars resisting a Trainer's control increased too much, it could result in terrifying consequences…

Perhaps I could take in a large number of low-ranking Familiars, and then continually raise their monster grade… Gao Peng suddenly thought, as an idea to exploit his ability.

Nope, no can do. This would be too obvious.

Gao Peng quickly banished this thought from his mind. He could not do that. At least not right now. Furthermore, raising Familiars required a large amount of resources, which he could not afford at the moment. Gao Peng also had no intention of exposing his ability to join other powerful groups or organizations. He feared that he would end up being used by others as a monster-breeding machine.

”Is everyone here? Class monitor, please take attendance,” said their form teacher Murong Qiuye to class monitor Tan Qianjin as she boarded the bus.

Tan Qianjin was also a small and plump person who had dimples when he smiled. He always got along with others in class and also had a cheerful personality and good grades. It did not take long for the class to eventually elect him as class monitor.

”Ms. Murong, everyone is already here. I made a tick on the class register every time someone came in,” said Tan Qianjin with a smile as he handed the class register to Ms. Murong.

Ms. Murong nodded. She then held on to a grab pole, stuck her head out of the window and shouted, ”Director, the students in our class is all here. We can leave now.”

After a moment, Ms. Murong nodded again, then promptly sat on the driver's seat.

Sitting in the first row, Tan Qianjin's jaw dropped as Ms. Murong very proficiently adjusted gears, stepped on the gas pedal, and started up the bus in one smooth motion.

Such an experienced driver…

The bus's exhaust pipes gave a roar and the bus charged forward like a hulking metal beast.

Behind it were two blue cars following closely behind. The cars were totally blue except for a white shield drawn on the sides of the car. It was the BlueShield Protection Company.

They travelled at high speed and in only a few minutes, they reached the edge of a lake within the outskirts of the city.

”Alright, we've arrived. Students, please alight.”

With a tsss sound, the front and rear doors of the bus opened at the same time, allowing bright sunrays to shine into the bus from the doors.

”This… This is so exciting! So this is what the outskirts are like!” said one of the fat boys in class. He was one of those who seemed to have trouble acting appropriately at the right situations. He rubbed his hands together and continued, ”It's just… just too damn exciting, ugh.” At this moment, a girl in a ponytail and glasses viciously hammered him on the head while wearing a blank expression. ”Li Zipang, stop the drama.”

Li Zigong angrily responded, ”Li Hongdou, don't go too far! If it weren't for the fact that you were my older sister, I would never…” A cold gaze that came sweeping over from Li Hongdou caused Li Zigong to freeze. ”I would never dare to raise my voice at you…” he continued.
