Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 35 is all about the Rainbow Spider!

Gu Ling returned to the audience seats, and Huang Weiwei's face clearly showed her joy: "Lingling, congratulations! You won another game."

"But that electric armored bull on the other side is so stupid, it just stupidly ran out of bounds..."

Suddenly, Huang Weiwei belatedly realized something, her eyes widening for a moment: "Wait, this wouldn't be the secret tactic you were talking about, would it?"

Gu Ling raised an eyebrow: "You're only just realizing it?"

"The Electric Armored Bull is irritable and easily angered. If I provoke it even slightly, it will lose its temper and be led by the nose by Xian Jiu."

Xian Jiu jumped out of Gu Ling's arms and immediately started rummaging through the cat notes in her backpack.

Hearing the beast tamer's words, Xian Jiu ate a cat treat and chimed in with a "Meow~".

Upon hearing this, Huang Weiwei's eyes instantly filled with admiration: "What were you thinking? How cunning!"

Gu Ling corrected, "That's called tactics."

She's clearly a very upright and honest person, isn't she?

The two watched the other students' matches for a while longer, and soon, Huang Weiwei's next match was about to begin.

Huang Weiwei's second opponent's pet was also a Grass-type Pokémon, Momo Cotton.

The fluffy cotton is light and small, like a dandelion ball, and can be blown away by a slight breeze. Its racial aptitude is generally not very high.

The most troublesome thing about the fluffy cotton is its innate mushroom spore skill, which puts the target to sleep and has a higher hit rate than the hypnotic powder with the same effect.

However, mushroom spores are ineffective against Sun Seed, which is also a grass-type pet.

During the battle, the opposing team's fluffy cotton clearly hadn't learned many attack skills yet. After the blazing sun seed launched several vine whip attacks and flying leaf daggers, fluffy cotton was exhausted and collapsed to the ground, allowing Huang Weiwei to easily advance to the next round.

After the morning's combat exams concluded, everyone dispersed for the time being.

Gu Ling and Huang Weiwei's family went out for lunch together, and then at 2 p.m., they returned to the Xinke Battle Arena for the battle placement exam.

Gu Ling's two matches in the afternoon—

In the first match, the opponent's pet was a flying-type Black Feather Sparrow, which was countered by Xianjiu's electric-type pet, and Xianjiu easily won the victory.

The opponent in the second match was a bit of a surprise to Gu Ling, as it happened to be Qu Bojie and Cai Zhizhu, whom she had fought against at the Starry Sky Training Hall a couple of days ago.

Thinking that they were at least acquaintances, Gu Ling went over and greeted them: "Hi, hello."

Unexpectedly, the rainbow spider next to Qu Bojie shrank back to Qu Bojie as soon as it saw Gu Ling and Xian Jiu, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and began to tremble.

"Colorful Spider..." Qu Bojie tried his best to soothe the colorful spider, but it seemed to have no effect at all.

When it was time to start the battle, no matter how much Qu Bojie called out to Cai Zhizhu, Cai Zhizhu stubbornly refused to fight against Xian Jiu.

Seeing this, the referee immediately ruled that Qu Bojie's rainbow spider had lost its will to fight, and Gu Ling's team won and advanced.

Qu Bojie had no choice but to hurriedly leave the arena with the Rainbow Spider, presumably to comfort its wounded little heart.

They won without even fighting, leaving Gu Ling and Xian Jiu somewhat bewildered.

Gu Ling had some self-doubt: How come the spider acted like it had encountered a ghost when it saw her, given that she was such a beautiful and youthful girl?

Xian Jiu shook her head regretfully: "I can't show off my dashing and heroic figure again. How disappointed my fans must be!"

Finally, the person and their pet simultaneously came to the same conclusion: it was all the rainbow spider's fault!

"...Well, it's good to have time to check on our opponents later." Gu Ling waved to Xian Jiu, who jumped back onto Gu Ling's shoulder and yawned lazily.

Gu Ling is currently in the top 32. If she wins another match tomorrow, she can advance from the group stage and enter the Beast Taming Elite Class.

Huang Weiwei was currently in a match, and she had the advantage. Gu Ling wasn't too worried, but then she suddenly remembered something: "Lu Jiuwen is in Group A, right? If he can advance from the group stage, he'll face Weiwei later..."

Three-Tailed Fire Fox VS Blazing Sun Seed.

Lu Jiuwen's three-tailed fire fox is quite powerful and has an elemental advantage, so it has a greater chance of defeating Weiwei.

"Never mind, let Vivi worry about it herself..."

Regardless of who wins, Gu Ling will defeat that person in the quarterfinals.

Gu Ling saw that Lu Jiuwen's match had ended and Lu Jiuwen had won. Long Yifei and Dai Hao, who were not yet due to fight, were also watching the match. So Gu Ling decided to take Xian Jiu over to check it out.

Just then, a tall, thin male student walked towards them, accompanied by a "little grass"... no, a pet animal, swaying from side to side.

Because it was a pet that had never been recorded before, Gu Ling couldn't help but take a second look.

Unexpectedly, the male student stopped in front of Gu Ling: "I've watched a few of your matches today, and your Thunder Seal Cat is quite strong."

Unsure of the male student's intentions, Gu Ling politely replied, "Thank you for the compliment."

"My name is Shang Chengli, and I will be your opponent in the top 32 tomorrow."

Shang Chengli glanced indifferently at Xian Jiu in Gu Ling's arms, a hint of contempt on his lips: "However, if you want to beat my Stinky Face Grass, your Thunder Seal Cat is still far from enough. If you don't want to lose too badly, you still have time to forfeit."

That's a very...

Xianjiu couldn't stand it!

Gu Ling remained calm, gently rubbing Xian Jiu's slightly puffed-up face: "You're having a good daydream, but I hope your strength didn't come from just dreaming."

Shang Chengli didn't care about Gu Ling's attitude. After making a provocative declaration of war, he left leisurely with his stinky-faced grass.

Gu Ling's gaze fell on the slouching, seemingly honest and innocent-looking grass.

This should be a grass-type pet...

Do you think you have an attribute advantage and are guaranteed to beat her Xianjiu?

Gu Ling.

Lu Jiuwen, who had just finished his battle, walked over and stared at Shang Chengli's departing figure. He said, "You need to be careful. I watched his two battles this morning. His pet is a grass-type pet called 'Grumpy Grass,' and it has already learned Hypnosis Powder. It seems to be quite proficient at it."

"What are you talking about?" Long Yifei and Dai Hao from the audience also came over.

Lu Jiuwen continued, "Shang Chengli's opponents' pets were all drugged with the hypnotic powder of the 'Stinky Face Grass,' which put them into a deep sleep, allowing him to win easily."

Long Yifei hissed softly, "This guy is too much of a jerk, isn't he? He keeps using hypnotic powder, he's just as bad as Dai Hao."

Dai Hao, standing next to him: "..." He's still here!

Upon hearing the words "hypnotic powder," Gu Ling's heart sank slightly. Xian Jiu had not yet learned any skills to counteract or resist hypnotic powder.

The hidden trait of Xianjiu, [Magic Defense], can make the user immune to damage caused by all abnormal statuses, but it cannot directly make the user immune to abnormal statuses. If the user is hit by hypnotic powder, the user will also fall into a hypnotic state.

Shang Chengli... seems like a more formidable opponent.
