The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned once again.
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the Ice Crystal Soul floating above the ground.
"What...what is that?"
Isn't Lin Ze's pet a little snowball?
How did it turn into a strange pet?
Guan Ning was equally astonished.
She knew Lin Ze better than her two best friends.
I've also seen what Little Snowball looks like.
Completely different from the petite and adorable ice-attribute pet in front of me.
What's going on?
Guan Ning's face was full of confusion.
To the girls' astonishment, a hail of ice spikes crashed violently into the charging ghost wolf.
It only lasted for a moment.
The wolf was cut and wounded all over by countless ice spikes.
A thin layer of frost instantly covered his body, and he couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
"How is that possible!?"
Zhao Kang stared in horror, his eyes wide.
His Shadow Wolf possesses the strength of a second-tier, first-stage wolf.
He was injured by a high school student's pet beast in a single encounter!
Doesn't that mean the other party's pet is also of the second tier?
"Could this kid be the ace player from some high school?"
"But that's impossible. The highest level of those high school students' pets is only Tier 1, Level 9. I've never heard of anyone's pet advancing to Tier 2."
Zhao Kang was both shocked and furious.
Guan Ning is the ace of Pinghai No.1 Middle School.
But her Flamebird is only at the first tier, ninth level.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only one level below a Tier 2, Tier 1 Ghost Wolf; that's the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2.
The Shadow Wolf could easily defeat the Flamebird.
This is also why Zhao Kang, knowing Guan Ning's situation, still agreed to stand up for her.
Unexpectedly, one of the other's companions was someone who, like him, possessed a second-tier pet beast.
Damn it!
At this point, there's no turning back.
Zhao Kang had no choice but to bite the bullet and order the Dark Wolf to continue the attack.
"This kid is just a high school student after all. He only recently formed a contract with a pet. Even if he has a second-tier pet, it's probably just a recent advancement, so its level is definitely not high!"
"It must have been good luck that I awakened a powerful skill."
Besides strength level, skills are also a decisive factor affecting a pet's combat power.
A powerful skill can greatly increase a pet's combat power.
However, correspondingly, a pet's skills cannot be used indefinitely.
There is a 'cooling-off period' after each use.
"Just defeat it before it uses its skill again!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Kang felt slightly relieved.
But in the next instant...
He then saw Ice Crystal Soul extend her palm, her small lips slightly parted, and gently blow into her palm.
call!
A wisp of icy mist, imbued with extreme cold, surged forth and swept towards the Ghost Wolf.
Frosty Breath!
Click! Click!
Where the ice fog passed.
Visible ice particles condensed continuously in the air.
The charging wolf didn't even struggle before it was instantly frozen into a pale blue, transparent ice sculpture.
silence!
A silent stillness enveloped the surroundings.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, their mouths agape, speechless.
A second-tier Ghost Wolf was defeated just like that?
They were completely powerless to fight back throughout the entire process!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan looked at Bing Jinghun with undisguised surprise in their eyes.
What kind of pet is this?
That's incredibly strong!
Guan Ning was equally surprised, his eyes widening in astonishment.
Compared to others, she was undoubtedly the most affected.
After all, she had spent a long time with Lin Ze, but she never knew that the latter possessed such formidable strength.
On the other side.
Zhao Kang and Wu Ying stood there, stunned, their faces pale.
Even if you broke their heads, they would never have imagined this outcome.
By this point, they understood perfectly well.
Lin Ze's pet beast is definitely not just at the second-tier, first stage; it is very likely that it has reached the second-tier, third stage, or even the fourth stage.
Otherwise, even with skill bonuses, it wouldn't have been possible to defeat the Ghost Wolf so easily.
"When did this local high school get such a freakish genius?"
Zhao Kang felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Click.
Large cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the ice sculpture, which then shattered with a loud crash.
The ghost wolf inside was shattered along with it, turning into ice blocks that scattered all over the ground.
Zhao Kang groaned, his face turning even paler.
When his pet died, he, as a beast tamer, was immediately struck by a backlash.
After dealing with the Ghost Wolf, Ice Crystal Soul showed no signs of stopping and drifted leisurely towards Zhao Kang and Wu Ying.
This action immediately terrified the two of them.
"Wait! Brother, we were wrong! Please forgive us!"
Zhao Kang promptly admitted defeat and apologized.
Lin Ze remained unmoved and said calmly, "The person you should apologize to is not me."
Zhao Kang realized what was happening and, without saying a word, bowed ninety degrees to Guan Ning, forcing a fawning smile onto his fleshy face.
"Guan, we're sorry, we were just being mean. Please forgive us this time. When we get back, I'll teach that bastard Zhou Hong a lesson and make sure he won't bother you again!"
Guan Ning pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lin Ze glanced at Wu Ying, who was hesitating.
Zhao Kang was quite decisive, and slapped Wu Ying hard across the face with his backhand.
"What are you standing there for? Apologize right now!"
Wu Ying was stunned by the beating and it took her several seconds to react. She bowed to Guan Ning and the others, feeling both frustrated and apprehensive.
Seeing this, Lin Ze waved his hand as if shooing away flies.
Zhao Kang and Wu Ying dared not linger and hurriedly turned to leave.
"Letting them go like this is too lenient."
Zhang Xiaoyun spat under her breath at the departing figures of the two.
"Give them a lesson, that's fine, we can't just kill them."
Guan Ning pursed his lips and advised:
"Moreover, reviving pets requires a lot of resources, and their losses this time are not small either."
After Guan Ning said that, Zhang Xiaoyun felt a little better.
The girl then looked at Lin Ze, her eyes sparkling.
"Brother Lin, you're amazing! That was a second-tier Ghost Wolf, and you defeated it so easily."
Lin Ze smiled but didn't say anything.
In the past, he would have felt proud.
But with the achievement system, his sights have been set on a much higher level.
Taking down a second-tier pet is really nothing.
"Brother, where's your little snowball?"
Guan Ning finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked, puzzled.
Lin Ze stroked the head of the approaching Ice Crystal Soul and casually replied:
"This is Little Snowball; it has evolved into Ice Crystal Soul."
It's evolved!?
Guan Ning and the other two stared in disbelief, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
Can the little snowball evolve?
I've never heard of such a thing before!
The three were shocked and wanted to question it, but the facts were right in front of them.
If it wasn't evolution, then where did Lin Ze's little snowball go?
Before being promoted to Apprentice Beast Tamer, everyone can only have one pet beast at most.
There are no exceptions.
"Could it be... that the little snowball really has an evolved form?"
"A hidden evolutionary path that has never been discovered before?"
Guan Ning and the other two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.
