Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Pei Zhili's gaze lingered on Xianjiu on Gu Ling's shoulder for several seconds before he spoke: "Actually, I had a little ulterior motive in asking you to compete against me with the Thunder Seal Cat."

Xian Jiu was secretly stretching out her body, hanging upside down on Gu Ling, rummaging through Gu Ling's pocket with her little paws, taking out a small dried fish, and then turning her back to Pei Zhili to secretly eat it.

"I know." Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's little head, which immediately elicited a dissatisfied hum from Xian Jiu.

Beastmaster, behave yourself and don't disturb me while I'm eating my dried fish!

Gu Ling found it somewhat amusing.

If Pei Zhili had been more direct, Xian Jiu probably wouldn't have been in the mood to sneak a bite of dried fish right now.

"However, you might be mistaken about something." Gu Ling turned to Pei Zhili and said, enunciating each word clearly, "My first contracted pet was Xian Jiu. How could I possibly not send Xian Jiu to the finals?"

"Even without what you said yesterday, I would still have sent Xianjiu into battle."

Pei Zhili looked surprised, somewhat taken aback by the answer.

Gu Ling's first new companion and first new family member in this world is Xian Jiu.

In Gu Ling's heart, Xian Jiu is the most special existence.

Moreover, she had promised Xianjiu that she would bring it with her to stand on the dazzling stage.

"Is that so...?" Pei Zhili was speechless upon hearing that this was the only reason given.

Pei Zhili's Shield Dragon was sent to the medical room for treatment yesterday. Although it was his first contracted pet, he still made what he considered to be the right and rational choice to let the Boeing Larva replace the Shield Dragon in the competition.

"...Next, please welcome Pei Zhili from Beast Taming Vocational High School and Gu Ling from Nanping No. 1 High School to the stage!"

"Let's look forward to a fantastic match from these two players, and a perfect ending to this friendly competition!"

The director's passionate voice interrupted Pei Zhili's thoughts.

"Xian Jiu, let's go." Gu Ling took the empty packaging of the dried fish that Xian Jiu had finished eating and casually threw it into the trash can next to her.

Xian Jiu, having happily finished her dried fish, ignored the fact that Gu Ling had seen her sneaking a bite, and responded contentedly with a "Meow~".

Soon, Gu Ling and Pei Zhili went to the battlefield one after the other.

The final match took place on a rock-type terrain. The terrain was uneven and had many sharp, protruding rock spikes. If a pet accidentally bumped into one, it would definitely get hurt badly.

Xian Jiu jumped off Gu Ling's shoulder and gracefully walked into the battlefield.

On the other side, Pei Zhili summoned the Boeing larvae.

When Xianjiu saw the Boeing larva, she immediately looked hostile: "Meow~" The big bad guy has appeared!

Boeing Larva, a dragon-type pet that looks like a flying insect, can make 17 different sounds at the same time. For a long time, it was mistaken for an insect-type pet. Later, when pet researchers discovered that Boeing Larva inherited the advanced dragon-type skill Meteor Shower, it was changed to be identified as a dragon-type pet.

Gu Ling pondered to herself, "I wonder if Pei Zhili's Boeing larvae have inherited the Meteor Shower skill..."

The Boeing larvae originally had no special characteristics other than being able to produce multiple sounds at the same time. It was only after it was discovered that the Boeing larvae had a high probability of hatching with the Meteor Shower genetic skill that this green pet beast race, which looked like a large green caterpillar, was immediately taken seriously.

"The friendly individual finals are now beginning. Pei Zhili from Beast Taming Vocational School will face off against Gu Ling from Nanping No. 1 Middle School. Each player may use only one pet beast, and pet beasts cannot be changed during the match. If either player's pet beast becomes unable to fight, the other player wins!"

"The match begins—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee blew his whistle.

The urgent whistle spread out, quickly filling the entire battlefield, like the sound of war drums being beaten before battle, arousing the desire for victory.

Pei Zhili's eyes narrowed slightly: "Boeing larvae, continuously use piercing sounds and ultrasound."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Boeing larva flapped its wings, the frequency of which changed subtly, and a sharp, piercing sound rang out. Immediately afterward, the Boeing larva unleashed a deafening sonic attack from its mouth.

【Piercing Sound】: A Normal-type skill that emits a piercing sound that makes the opponent want to cover their ears, thus greatly reducing their defense.

[Ultrasonic Wave]: A Normal-type move that emits special sound waves from the body to confuse the opponent.

The sonic attack was invisible yet possessed extremely strong penetrating power. For a moment, Xian Jiu had nowhere to escape and was enveloped by layers upon layers of sonic waves surging towards him like a tidal wave.

"...Meow~"

Xianjiu covered her ears tightly with her claws, and couldn't help but half-lie on the ground, but she still couldn't block out the ubiquitous noise.

Pei Zhili: "Boeing larvae, use the dragon tail!"

The next second, the Boeing larva fluttered its wings and shot towards Xian Jiu like a sharp arrow. Its body twisted rapidly, and its tail moved up, bringing even stronger impact as it slashed towards Xian Jiu!

"Use teleportation!"

Xian Jiu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The Boeing larva's tail attack missed its mark, hitting the ground and sending up a series of flying debris!

Xian Jiu appeared not far away. When she saw the hole punched in the ground, her cat eyes widened and she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the Boeing larva that can emit 17 different sounds at the same time, it can attack while maintaining noise interference, and it's also very fast." Gu Ling's eyes darkened.

Pei Zhili had never used this move in the previous matches.

Because Pei Zhili mostly sends out Warrior-level Shield Dragons to the matches, most people overlook the fact that the only extraordinary-level Boeing Larva is used.

"Boeing larva, increase the sonic frequency." Seeing that Xianjiu still had the reaction ability to dodge, Pei Zhili immediately gave the order.

"Buzzing—"

The next instant, a noise several times more piercing than before struck again.

Xian Jiu covered her ears in pain, feeling her head buzzing.

Pei Zhili: "Use the Steel Wings!"

The Boeing larva has two pairs of wings. One pair of wings continues to output noise, while the other pair of wings gradually develops a 'hardened' white light.

In the blink of an eye, the Boeing larvae flew close to the Xianjiro with trembling wings.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xianjiu's cat eyes. She endured the noise and put down her paws that were covering her ears. Her figure moved quickly, and several shadow clones appeared in an instant.

[High-speed movement] [Shadow clone]

But the next second, the Boeing larva used ultrasound to detect Xianjiu's true form. It only circled once in mid-air before flying towards Xianjiu again.

Xianjiu was running rapidly on the ground, and just as the Boeing larva was about to catch up, she suddenly stopped and then leaped high into the air, using her amazing jumping power to jump over the top of the Boeing larva's head!

"Use 100,000 volts!" Gu Ling's voice rang out at the right moment.

As Xian Jiu descended from mid-air, she gathered lightning power throughout her body, causing her soft fur to stand on end!

"Meow—"

A burst of 100,000 volts was unleashed, and lightning, like a giant serpent, swept wildly towards the Boeing larva.

Pei Gang: "Get out of the way quickly!"

With a buzz, the Boeing larva spread its wings and retreated rapidly!

Because of the great distance, the condensed lightning power spread out and dissipated in a short while.

Xianjiu landed on the ground, and was somewhat sullen when she saw that the Boeing larva had dodged her 100,000 volts unharmed.

"Meow~" That big bad guy is so good at hiding!

Gu Ling felt a slight unease as she saw the 100,000 volts dissipate prematurely.

The breakthrough period of the game "Sword and Fairy 9" made it impossible for its various skills to be used stably.

Although the 100,000 volts were more powerful than before, the stability was worse, and it was impossible to hit the opponent. No matter how powerful it was, it was useless.

Across from him, Pei Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, then his gaze sharpened slightly: "Boeing larvae, use Meteor Shower!"

The Boeing larvae raised their heads and let out a piercing cry, their wings flapping violently, creating a powerful gust of air around them.

At this moment, thick fog, like dark clouds, suddenly gathered in the sky above the battlefield.

The next second, several meteorites carrying scorching lava and flames fell from the thick fog and crashed down on Xianjiu below.

"Meow!"

Xian Jiu was so shocked that her whole body bristled again.

But there was no fear or panic in Xian Jiu's eyes; instead, she became even angrier!

This is it!

This damn meteor shower destroyed the homes of the Raijin Cats!

Previously, in the short film about the Thunder Cat that Xianjiu watched, there was a scene where the evil "Boeing Larva" summoned a meteorite from outer space to destroy the Thunder Cat's home.

That scene left the deepest impression on Xianjiu.

When Gu Ling saw the meteor shower appear, she knew it was true and immediately commanded Xianji: "Xianji! Use high-speed movement to avoid the meteor shower!"

Soon, the fiery meteorites crashed into the battlefield, scattering fragments, kicking up dust, and sending sparks flying.

Xian Jiu skillfully dodged among the falling meteorites, constantly using high-speed movement. When she encountered something she couldn't avoid, she immediately used teleportation to disappear on the spot.

"Buzzing—"

The Boeing larvae continued their offensive, circling high in the sky and summoning wave after wave of meteor showers.

Not only were there meteor showers, but the Boeing larvae continued to make noise, even more ferocious than the previous two times. Xian Jiu felt a splitting headache and her steps were unsteady.

On several occasions, Xianjiu was disturbed by the noise and almost failed to avoid the meteorites.

"At this rate, we'll get hit by a meteor shower sooner or later..." Gu Ling's eyes showed worry when she saw this.

We can't keep hiding from each other!

Isn't it just about going head-to-head?!

If you miss the first time, try again! A third time! A fourth time!!

Gu Ling: "Sword 9! Get close to the Boeing larvae! Use 100,000 volts continuously!"

"Meow~" Xian Jiu shook off the flying stones on her head and her body began to recharge with electricity.

Lightning crackled around Xian Jiu, with bursts of violent current emanating from him. An invisible electric magnetic field spread out like a large net, covering even the non-conductive rocky ground with a thin layer of electricity.

The next second, Xian Jiu tapped her toes and her figure flashed rapidly as she rushed towards the direction of the Boeing larva.

"Take off." Pei Zhili saw through Gu Ling's idea—to shorten the distance and increase the hit rate of the 100,000 volts—and thus issued the command.

The Boeing larva flapped its wings and flew a little further off the ground.

Gu Ling stared at Xian Jiu's figure without saying a word.

Sure enough, the next second Xianjiu reacted very quickly, and spontaneously used her telekinesis to levitate her body and "fly" towards the Boeing larva.

"Meow~"

More and more lightning was accumulating on Xian Jiu's body, and that lightning power kept gushing out.

Lightning flashed, like a ferocious and terrifying beast roaring and howling, and for a moment, it even drowned out the noise emitted by the Boeing larvae.

One! Two! Three! Four!

The dazzling lightning struck the Boeing larva with overwhelming force!

Up, down, left, and right.

Lightning struck from all four directions of the Boeing larvae.

Pei Zhili's expression was grave: "Boeing larvae! Get out of the way!"

The Boeing larva frantically flapped its wings, trying to escape, but the next second, the electric magnetic field permeating the air paralyzed the larva's wings, slowing it down.

boom!

Lightning struck a Boeing larva!

A series of piercing electric currents coursed through the Boeing larva's body, causing it to scream in agony.

As the lightning dissipated, the Boeing larvae fell to the ground from mid-air.

Panting heavily, Xianjiu stared intently at the movements of the Boeing larva, wanting to take a step forward, but its whole body felt weak and limp, making it want to lie down.

"Meow..."

This cat can't fall down! Can't fall down...

Having watched so many matches, Xianjiu knew very well that once someone fell on the battlefield, it meant they had lost the match.

"Xian Jiu, hang in there." Gu Ling noticed Xian Jiu's situation and her expression changed immediately.

The 100,000 volts just now was incredibly powerful, far exceeding the power that Xian Jiu had used before, which was also a burden for Xian Jiu.

"Meow~" Xian Jiu responded weakly.

Beastmaster~ This cat won't fall~ This cat is the Meow Meow Sheriff~

"...Can the Boeing larvae still fly?"

Pei Zhili, on the other side, was also focused on his pet beast. The Boeing larva was trembling slightly, trying to struggle to take flight again.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

The referee has started counting down.

Whether in the audience seats or watching the live broadcast, everyone fell silent at this moment, their eyes fixed on every move on the field with eager anticipation and tension.

Ten seconds felt like an eternity.

Finally, the referee's voice clearly reached everyone's ears—

"The Boeing larva is incapacitated, and the Ray-Cat is victorious. The winner of this friendly individual final is—Gu Ling from Nanping No. 1 Middle School!"

Congratulations to Gu Ling for winning the individual championship of the 45th Hailan City Friendship Tournament!

"..."

A hammer is fixed.

The dust has settled. (End of Chapter)
