Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

The sudden sound made the two look at each other in surprise. It seemed that the Monkey Fighting Dojo had taken their tuition fees but failed to teach them properly, and now the aggrieved party wanted a refund.

Driven by curiosity, the two entered the courtyard halfway up the mountain, or rather, this was their original destination.

In the courtyard, many disciples dressed in the dojo's uniforms formed a circle. In the center of the crowd, a young man looked indignant and seemed to be the victim. Opposite the young man was a young girl with wheat-colored skin, Fang Yan.

Fang Yan's face was filled with helplessness. "I told you everything, but you wouldn't listen. Now you regret it, but it's too late!"

"Now that I've paid, your Ape Fighting Dojo has to give me an explanation." The young man clearly didn't buy Fang Yan's words.

He was genuinely unwilling to accept it.

Listening to the conversation between the two parties, Wu Xiao could roughly determine the reason for the incident. It seemed that the young man wanted to try something, Fang Yan gave him a warning, but he didn't listen and insisted on trying. In the end, the attempt failed, and he wanted to get the money he paid back.

"Squad leader, you seem to be in some trouble."

Seeing that the young man was still arguing, Wu Xiao didn't want to wait any longer. So, he pushed through the crowd and entered the circle.

"Haha, you've all had your fun." Fang Yan shrugged.

"And what are you?!"

Being ridiculed, the young man dared not bare his teeth at Fang Yan. After all, this was the Ape Fighting Dojo, and as the daughter of the dojo master, who would dare to bare their teeth at Fang Yan here?

But the young man was clearly not afraid of Wu Xiao's sudden appearance. He was in a bad mood, and Wu Xiao's appearance gave him an outlet.

"Stop, or I'll have to take coercive measures against you." Wu Xiao said calmly, looking at the young man striding towards him.

"you……"

Wu Xiao's indifference completely enraged the young man, who immediately raised his fist, ready to teach Wu Xiao a lesson.

However, as Wu Xiao pulled out his police identification card, the young man abruptly stopped his fist, his eyes filled with lingering fear. If his fist had landed, it would have been an assault on a police officer.

"snort!"

Finally, the young man snorted coldly, pushed through the crowd, and left in a sorry state.

"Hey, your pet is in the treatment room, don't forget to take it with you." Seeing the young man running fast, Fang Yan quickly called out. Immediately, the young man stopped, then turned back and walked to the other side.

"What are you all doing gathered around here? Aren't you going to cultivate? Then I'll test your progress later." Fang Yan looked around and said to everyone.

"No, Senior Sister Fang, we're just here to help you because we're worried you'll be bullied." Hearing that Fang Yan was going to test them, the crowd explained as they quickly dispersed.

This scene felt strangely familiar to Song Baiqing, because he had been threatened by Fang Yan in the same way back at the Sprout Academy.

"Class monitor, is someone else trying to contract that special baby leaf monkey?" Song Baiqing asked after everyone had left.

"That's right, these people just won't listen to advice." Fang Yan shook her head.

"What kind of riddles are you playing?" Wu Xiao asked curiously.

"Wu Xiao, you didn't know about this? You're so out of touch." Seeing that Wu Xiao had indeed not heard of it, Song Baiqing immediately gave him a brief account of the matter.

At the Monkey Fighting Dojo, a special baby langur appeared. How special? While ordinary baby langurs are classified as common, this one is classified as elite.

"Elite-level baby langurs!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao was also shocked. The evolved form of the young langur, the Forest Ape, is only at the elite level. This means that after this special young langur evolves, there is a very high probability that it can enter the rare level.

"It's not a true elite level; that little guy forcibly raised it to that level using his special ability," Fang Yan explained as she led the two towards the reception room.

Name: Young Leaf Monkey

Grade: Common+.

Attribute: Fighting/Wood

Level: 5.

Characteristic: Competitive.

Skills: Wild Scratches, Flying Leaf Blade.

After Fang Yan's explanation, Wu Xiao learned about the special young langur's characteristics. What made this young langur truly special was its competitive nature.

This is a trait that has never appeared in the young leaf monkey population before. This competitive trait allows any pet with this trait to gain a stack of a "victory" status by defeating an enemy.

Each victory status increases all attributes by 10%. The young leaf monkey was originally of ordinary + grade, but it was upgraded to elite grade because it won several opponents in a row.

Once the victory status disappears, it will return to the normal + grade. Of course, to make the victory status disappear, you need to defeat this special baby leaf monkey. Defeating it once will reduce the status by two layers. If you lose three times in a row, no matter how many layers of status you have, they will all be reset to zero.

Of course, to trigger the competitive trait, the young leaf monkey needs to fight against an opponent of the same level. For example, if the young leaf monkey fights against a pet beast that is obviously weaker than itself, even if it wins, it will not accumulate the victory status.

Similarly, if an enemy whose strength far surpasses that of the young langur defeats it, the young langur's condition will not disappear. Only an opponent of the same level that the young langur acknowledges can trigger this trait.

"This is already very strong. When the young leaf monkey evolves into a forest ape, it can use this trait to forcibly upgrade to the rare level." Although the competitive trait has many limitations, it still cannot hide its power.

Wu Xiao didn't understand why the Ape Fighting Dojo would let other people contract this precious pet beast. Shouldn't they give priority to their own people?

At least the young langur that Fang Yan has contracted is clearly inferior to that young langur with competitive traits.

"Why!"

Upon hearing Wu Xiao's question, Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh deeply, "This little guy is extremely arrogant. Many senior brothers in the dojo have tried to form a contract with it, but they have all failed."

"Because that little guy said that it only obeys the strong. If a pet defeats it, it will become that pet's subordinate. If a beast tamer defeats it, it will form a contract with the beast tamer."

"So far, this little guy hasn't lost a single game. Now that it has so many victories stacked up, it will be even harder to beat it."

"Even pets can't beat it, so it's even more impossible for a Beastmaster to defeat it. That's why the gym decided to spread the word and see if anyone could defeat it. They'll charge a fee, and even if this special baby leaf monkey gets contracted by someone else, they can still make some money back."

"Otherwise, given the current situation, no one in the dojo can contract this little guy, and the other party is the king of the mountain, which has greatly affected the management of the young langurs."

Fang Yan felt increasingly heartbroken as she spoke. She had initially thought the dojo had been blessed with good fortune and had unearthed a treasure, but it turned out to be a demon pill.

"Wu Xiao, why don't you give it a try?" Upon hearing that it was necessary to contract that special young leaf monkey and for the beast tamer to defeat it personally, Song Baiqing couldn't help but nudge Wu Xiao.
