Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 548 Reasons for Participation

As March approached and the start of the interdimensional war drew ever closer, the atmosphere in the Imperial War Hall grew increasingly tense.

In the days that followed, Ye Mo stayed in the Central Plains Imperial War Hall, and his daily actions were very regular.

In the mornings, they attended classes with Qingqiu Yaoyao, Teacher Chen Ying, and that Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan, receiving instruction from their mentors. Through the teachers' tireless teaching, they made rapid progress in infiltration techniques and disguise methods.

In addition to these, they also obtained more information about the troll plane and roughly understood the strength and ability of the enemies they would have to face later.

After lunch, he took Isaac to the local combat arena to hone their skills and gain combat experience.

For Isaac, the Crimson Crystal Dragon, there are very few areas where he can improve. In terms of domain and skills, he has already reached the level that most fourth-tier spirit pets aspire to. If he wants to make further breakthroughs, it is almost impossible to do so in a short period of time by relying solely on cultivation.

Therefore, the best way for Isaac to improve right now is through combat.

As it happens, due to the interdimensional war, the Central Continent Battle Hall has gathered more and more powerful individuals during this period. While there aren't countless fifth-tier king-level beings, you can easily find one or two in the battle arena.

Under these circumstances, given his status as a top-ten genius beast tamer since the founding of the Yanhuang Alliance, finding a suitable opponent would not be difficult.

Even so, some king-level beast tamers might only choose to spar with him out of curiosity, but after a battle, once they proved that Isaac's combat power was comparable to that of a fifth-tier spirit pet, it would be much easier to find opponents to spar with later.

Of course, he had first challenged Qingqiu Yaoyao and Teacher Chen Ying to a duel, and finally defeated them, thus gaining the attention of many fifth-tier extraordinary individuals.

As for Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan, although he also sent a challenge, it was directly rejected. It's likely that Anlan was overconfident in his own strength and felt there was no need to spar with someone of the same level, which is why he refused the challenge.

After he defeated Qingqiu Yaoyao and Teacher Chen Ying, and then fought a fifth-tier extraordinary expert to a standstill, the opponent had even less reason to accept the fight. Otherwise, why would he ask for a beating?
When evening came, Ye Mo returned to his residence and, having recovered, continued making potions.

And so, time slowly passed, and soon more than ten days had gone by.

March 11, 2120th year of the Yanhuang calendar.

It was another early morning. The sun rose from the east, and its gentle rays fell on the houses and roads, illuminating the earth.

In a closed, enclosed room, a rustling sound rang out as the curtains were drawn back, letting sunlight stream in and bring light into the room.

"It's morning again."

Ye Mo withdrew his hand from the curtains and looked out the window, where he saw many people already moving about on the street.

After shaking his head and yawning, he turned around and saw an exquisite potion workbench behind him, on which were placed various potions as well as processed and unprocessed medicinal herbs and spiritual objects.

Clearly, he had been busy in the pharmacy room all night again.

"The day has come. It's time to go and bring Hanhan and Xiaobai back," Ye Mo murmured to the window, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He hadn't had time to visit Xiaoliu and the others during this period, and Isaac was a man of few words, which made him miss Xiaoliu and Xiaobai a little.

After thinking it over, Ye Mo went inside, opened the contract space, tidied up the workbench, and then left the room.

Ten minutes later.

Inside the Imperial War Hall, in a breakfast shop on a street not far from his residence, Ye Mo sat quietly, drinking white jade spirit rice porridge while taking out his mission phone to check for any new messages.

But after carefully scrolling through the list, apart from some useless information such as the arrival of a powerful figure, he still didn't see any major news worth paying attention to.

This is normal, though. After all, we're setting off tomorrow for the spatial passage connecting the Troll plane, and by now, any big news would have already been told.

After thinking it over, Ye Mo shook his head and said, "We're leaving tomorrow. I wonder what it'll be like over there?"

Although the spatial passage connecting the Troll plane is not far from Wudu, he has been staying here all this time, so how could he possibly know what it's like over there? Therefore, it's normal for him to be curious.

This is different from the Troll Plane. Although he has never been to the Troll Plane, what he has learned these past few days has given him a considerable understanding of it, especially the videos and text descriptions that clearly show what the Troll Plane looks like.

But the spatial passage connecting the Troll plane is different. It's a level seven permanent spatial passage, rare even in the entire Flame Emperor Alliance, and even legendary powerhouses can travel through it.

The importance attached to this level of spatial passage is certainly completely different from that of the spatial passage he discovered in Shanghai.

"Hey, Brother Ye Mo, you're here too! What a coincidence!"

A pleasant voice came from the entrance of the breakfast shop. As the door was opened, Qingqiu Yaoyao, with a pair of fox ears, smiled and waved before walking over briskly.

"Hmm, what a coincidence." Ye Mo rolled his eyes, then skillfully ordered a bowl of blood rice porridge for the other person, along with a few snacks.

"Hehe, I won't be polite. I got a free breakfast again today, what a steal." Qingqiu Yaoyao quickly sat down opposite Ye Mo, stuck out her little tongue to feel the temperature of the freshly served blood rice porridge, looked up at Ye Mo, and said with a smile.

During this time, Ye Mo and Qingqiu Yaoyao's relationship became increasingly close, and they could already be called friends.

This is not surprising, after all, there was the incident where Qingqiu Yaoyao took Ye Mo to the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce, and Qingqiu Yaoyao has a lively personality. When she gets bored here, she always likes to come and play with Ye Mo. Under these circumstances, it is only natural that they became familiar with each other.

In addition, they didn't know anyone else here, and the only people of similar age were the two of them and that Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan.

But the Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan was always aloof, so the only ones they could really chat with were the two of them.

Therefore, although they had only known each other for less than two weeks, Ye Mo and Qingqiu Yaoyao were already quite familiar with each other and could even exchange some simple jokes.

"Didn't you say you didn't have classes today? Why are you up so early?" Ye Mo asked curiously as he drank his porridge.

After spending these past few days together, he had a general idea of ​​what kind of demon Qingqiu Yaoyao was. In terms of talent, she was undoubtedly a genius, making breakthroughs very quickly in both cultivation and studies. However, in terms of personality, she was slightly lazy.

In short, the other person's attitude towards life is that if they can lie down, they won't consider standing up; if they can sleep, they won't think about anything else. When they went to the battle arena to train, they would stop when it was time and never train for even a moment longer.

Therefore, given her personality, she should be sleeping in on a holiday like today. "I'd like to, but my aunt asked me to go over this morning. If I get up late, I'm afraid I won't get to the city center by taxi until noon," Qingqiu Yaoyao pouted, put down her spoon, and complained.

Hearing this, Ye Mo couldn't help but feel curious. Logically speaking, her aunt was the general manager of Qingqiu Mall in Wudu City. Even if she was busy, there shouldn't be any need for Qingqiu Yaoyao to rush over in the morning.

Perhaps sensing his curiosity, Qingqiu Yaoyao, with a stern face, held a spoon in her hand and stuck it into the porridge, saying fiercely, "My aunt made me go there in the morning, she must have done it on purpose, she knows that I have to get up early."

"I texted her the day before yesterday that I could sleep in all day today, and this is how she treats me."

"Damn it, just you wait. Once I become even more powerful than her, hehe..."

Hearing Qingqiu Yaoyao's resentful laughter, Ye Mo's expression froze for a moment, but he pretended nothing had happened and continued drinking his porridge.

A short while later, after calming down, Qingqiu Yaoyao turned her gaze to Ye Mo and asked curiously, "Brother Ye Mo, you got up so early, are you going to the battle arena?"

These days, if we're talking about the person who's fought the longest, most fiercely, and most famously in the battle arena, it has to be Ye Mo. Of course, you could also say it's Ye Mo's spirit pet, that completely unkillable crimson crystal dragon.

Despite being only at the peak of the fourth rank, he repeatedly sparred and fought against fifth-rank transcendent beings. Even though he was at a disadvantage almost every time during the battle, very few people could truly defeat him.

This incident allowed many powerful figures who came to the Imperial Battle Hall to truly get to know Ye Mo.

"No, I'm planning to go to Xinhe District today," Ye Mo shook his head and replied softly.

"Xinhe District? Where is that? Is it any different? Why do we need to go there?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar place name, Qingqiu Yaoyao blurted out a series of questions without thinking.

“Xinhe District is an ordinary district on the west side of Wudu City.” Ye Mo looked at Qingqiu Yaoyao and explained with a smile, “As for why I went there, you should have heard that I have a spirit pet that has been training and fighting in the Beast Forest recently. That is my other spirit pet, Xiaobai.”

"When I first came here, I sent her to the Beast Forest to train because she didn't like fighting in the arena."

"I also rented a house for him in Xinhe District so that she would have a place to rest."

"And now that tomorrow is the day I'm leaving, it's time for me to go and bring her back."

After Ye Mo finished speaking, Qingqiu Yaoyao nodded and said with a clear expression, "I see."

As she finished speaking, she picked up a spoon and started drinking the porridge.

Seeing this, Ye Mo shook his head, looked at the white jade spirit rice porridge that was almost finished, raised his head to look at Qingqiu Yaoyao, and asked about something he had been very curious about lately.

"Yaoyao, there's something I've always been curious about. With your age and talent, why did you choose to participate in this interdimensional war? And why complete such a difficult and dangerous mission?"

"If it's for a reward, given your status and background, there's no need for you to take such a big risk. No matter how you look at it, it's unnecessary."

Hearing Ye Mo's heartfelt question, Qingqiu Yaoyao wiped her mouth with a tissue, looked up and thought for a moment before scratching her head and saying somewhat embarrassedly:

"Well... I didn't really think that much about it. I just saw the invitation from Palace Master Li, which asked if I wanted to participate in this difficult and dangerous mission."

"Then I checked the time and found that it was March, the start of the school year, so I came here."

"Huh?" Hearing this answer, even Ye Mo, who had seen a lot, couldn't help but show a surprised expression. "So, to put it simply, you came here to participate in this mission so you can skip class?"

He was well aware that the other party was still in school, since most of the offspring of the demon beast clans that joined the Yanhuang Alliance were required to complete nine years of compulsory education, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan was no exception.

"It can't be said that way." Qingqiu Yaoyao's eyes darted around as she looked at her surroundings. Finally, she pursed her lips, looked up at Ye Mo, and said seriously.

"There are quite a few other reasons why I chose to come here, one of which is to prove myself."

"Prove yourself?" Ye Mo frowned slightly. In his opinion, Qingqiu Yaoyao was already a rare genius with a legendary bloodline. As long as she cultivated well, she would definitely become a powerful figure in the future. What else did she need to prove?

It can be said that the other party's starting point is already the end point that many people and monsters have been striving for.

"Well, I want to prove that I am no worse than any human or demon..." Qingqiu Yaoyao seemed to want to say something more after saying this, but stopped in the end.

Well, Ye Mo was speechless after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "Actually, you are already very amazing. Among your peers, you are definitely a top-tier genius. There are very few who can compare to you."

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu Yaoyao bit her lip, looked at Ye Mo, and then asked with a determined expression, "How does it compare to you, Brother Ye Mo?"

Goodness, upon hearing this, Ye Mo immediately understood. So there was another reason behind it.

Recalling the help Qingqiu Yaoyao had given him before, and reflecting on his experiences with her during this time, Ye Mo pondered for a while before finally saying somewhat tactfully, "You're younger than me, so it's normal that you can't beat me yet. Besides, with your current abilities, you're actually close to catching up with me."

"It's just that you're a bit lazy. If you worked hard, you might be even better than me."

Although Qingqiu Yaoyao was not young, she knew that these words were meant to comfort her. She shook her head inwardly and said jokingly, "If you want me to work as hard as you, I might as well just admit defeat and surrender."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Ye Mo raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and laughed.

"Okay, I've finished breakfast, so I'll be going now."

"Okay, you can go now."

Ye Mo nodded, waved, and left the breakfast shop.

This time was different from the last. Xinhe District is located on the west side of Wudu City. Starting from the location of Yuzhan Hall, there is no need to go to the center of Wudu City. Therefore, he and Qingqiu Yaoyao were not going in the same direction, so he did not suggest going together.

A short while later, Ye Mo walked out of the Imperial Battle Hall and began to hail a taxi to Xinhe District.

I haven't seen him for a while, and I wonder how Hanhan is doing.
