Beast Taming Starts with Ground Mushrooms

Chapter 30: The Cutest Mushroom in History

"Excuse me, may I try it?"

Lin Yi had thought this through before speaking; he was determined to get the inter-association exchange card.

Without this, the opportunity for Mushroom Cub's practical training will inevitably be lost. I can't possibly take the little guy to dangerous places outside Tiannan City for combat training. Putting aside whether the conditions allow it or not, the danger level is not a consideration for the time being.

Besides, this cross-guild exchange card is currently unclaimed, and everyone is eligible to compete for it. The best will get it, and as for that brother... well, the best will get it!

Furthermore, as far as Lin Yi knew, the cross-guild exchange card was not a one-time thing. Even if it fell into the hands of someone else, as long as you could defeat the other party, you could still revoke their right to use it.

If this brother overcomes himself in the future... well, that's probably unlikely, but it's okay, besides this one, aren't there four other ones?

Lin Yi's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the beast tamers subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

Su Wanting was also a little surprised. She had just defeated the second-best student in the class and then beat Wang Haoran so badly in three rounds that he was running away with his tail between his legs. Yet someone still wanted to have a chat with her?

She wanted to see which fool was looking for trouble.

"Is it you?"

When she saw that it was the boy who had just come in with Wang Haoran and the others who spoke, Su Wanting couldn't believe her ears. She asked again, "Excuse me, are you saying you want to have a beast pet battle with me?"

If she remembered correctly, Jiang Feng had mentioned earlier that the other person was the boy in the class who rarely showed up.

Unlike normal universities, Beast Taming University does not require Beast Tamers to attend classes in designated classrooms every day. Therefore, Su Wanting did not have a deep impression of Lin Yi, but she had heard some recent "rumors" about him.

Lin Yi could understand the surprise on Su Wanting's face. After all, he had almost no interaction with these classmates, and he had dedicated half a year of his youth to the spirit plant cultivation base.

"If possible, I'd like to give it a try," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Su Wanting stared at that incredibly handsome face, still somewhat bewildered. How come she hadn't noticed this guy before? He was so good-looking! Oh no, he looked even better when he smiled.

However, she wasn't a lovesick fool; she was a level five beast tamer.

"Hey, my pet is already in its fifth evolution stage, and I believe it won't be long before it advances to its sixth stage. Are you... sure?"

Su Wanting looked at Lin Yi with a slight surprise. "How come I remember everyone saying that you contracted a Ground Mushroom? Does that mean Ground Mushrooms can participate in battles now?"

Or do you have other pets besides the Ground Mushroom?

Lin Yi: "Classmate, I'm very sure."

Unless you give me the cross-association exchange card directly, but I bet you won't.

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. Even the girl with the healing plant aura who was sitting quietly in the corner couldn't help but raise her beautiful eyes and subconsciously look at the boy.

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. Su Wanting had clearly said that her pet was in its fifth-level evolution stage, yet she was still so certain. Could it be that there was another expert in Beast Taming Class 26?

Wang Haoran and Song Jianing were also very surprised, looking at Lin Yi, who had just come with them, with disbelief on their faces, and questions immediately arose in their minds.

Su Wanting had already made her point clear: if this guy still dared to accept the challenge, there was only one possibility: the opponent was very likely also a level 5 Beast Tamer.

"No way?"

Old Wang let out a silent wail. Could it really be a level 5 Beast Tamer? How come this unexpected trouble has suddenly appeared? This is ridiculous!

Su Wanting stared at Lin Yi for a long time. For some reason, she had the feeling that she couldn't see through him. The more unassuming someone was, the more uneasy she felt about him.

Unlike Wang Haoran and the others, who hang out together every day and know each other inside and out, Lin Yi, whom you might not see for half a year, is full of variables.

"Of course! Since it's our class's exchange meeting, and I'm the group leader, there's no reason for me to refuse you." Su Wanting said, her eyes subconsciously searching for something around Lin Yi: "Did you bring your pet?"

If you can see the other person's pet, even if you can't tell what level or form it is, you can still make a general judgment.

However, after searching around, she couldn't find the boy's pet.

Seeing that the other party didn't find fault, Lin Yi's mood improved considerably: "I brought it."

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the ring and whispered, "Little Mushroom, your chance for real combat has come. Come out and do your best."

no respond.

Lin Yi: ? ? ?

Everyone: ? ? ?

Sensing that something was wrong, Lin Yi immediately opened the corner of his lower garment pocket and glanced at it.

Goodness, he's asleep.

"Little mushroom, little mushroom?"

Lin Yi called out to the little guy a few more times, and even poked him with a finger, but he was still fast asleep, making a "puff puff" sound as he blew air from his little mouth.

Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated. These past few days, the little guy had been so excited about the upcoming real battle and extra meals that it couldn't sleep at all. But now that the real battle was just around the corner, it had fallen asleep.

Seeing everyone's questioning looks, Lin Yi became a little awkward: "Sorry, there was a slight accident, but it's nothing serious, nothing serious."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while, finally pulling out a little guy and placing it on the edge of the ring. Until this moment, the little guy was still sleeping soundly, seemingly dreaming of something, and kept smacking his lips.

Everyone: ? ? ?

This is... a free-growing mushroom?

The pet that Su Wanting was to try out was actually a ground mushroom?

Seeing that he couldn't wake the little mushroom, Lin Yi had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move. He bent down and whispered in the little guy's ear, "Little mushroom, dinner's ready."

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, the little guy suddenly opened his clear eyes and sat up.

Little one: (˶✧▽✧˶) Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!

Huh...where's the food?

Everyone was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, especially the female students, whose eyes melted.

"It's so cute!"

"This is hilarious, but it's so adorable!"

"Look, it's holding a small sword!"

Su Wanting, standing to the side, was also a little stunned as she looked at the tiny creature. She had thought the other party would bring some stronger beast pet, but she didn't expect it to be a little ground mushroom. Such a cute and adorable little thing, she couldn't bear to let Shu Bai use his strength.

At this moment, Mushroom Cub also realized what was happening. The little guy hugged the Cold String Sword and looked around. It turned out that it was time for a real battle.

"Little mushroom, beat it, and you'll get a treat tonight." Lin Yi quickly tried to wake the little guy up, then after a moment's thought, added, "A transcendent snake spirit fruit, of course."

Mushroom Boy: ☆ꈊ☆Wow, Snake Spirit Fruit

The little guy turned over and got up at the sound, carrying a small sword as he walked towards the center of the arena.

At this moment, the Snow Tree Beast had already arrived at the center of the arena. However, when it saw that the creature it was fighting was a small one, and the weakest of all the beast pets, the Ground Mushroom, the Snow Tree Beast blinked and stared blankly.

Although they are both beast pets, it is difficult to tell their strength unless the other party uses extraordinary evolutionary power. Only when they sense the fluctuations of extraordinary evolutionary power can they instantly judge the strength of the enemy.

"Are we really going to fight? Wouldn't that be too cruel?"

Some female students felt sorry for the girl and even started to resent the beast tamer in their hearts. How could such a cute mushroom be used to take a beating? It was too much.

In the arena, the little guy, carrying a small sword, walked step by step toward the [Snow Tree Beast]. It blinked its eyes, tilted its head, and kept looking at the big guy with great curiosity.

"Shubai, you really need to be gentler with this," Su Wanting said with a helpless look in her eyes.

The Snow Tree Beast responded to the sound by swaying its branches and leaves. Then it gently shook its trunk, and a gentle blizzard instantly blew towards the mushroom cub. The beast tamers then saw the little guy being blown into the air, fall off the stage, bounce a few times, and roll to Lin Yi's side.

Everyone: ? ? ?

Lin Yi: ? ? ?

"Sorry, it hasn't experienced real combat yet, so it probably doesn't know what it's doing."

Lin Yi felt inexplicably embarrassed. Sure enough, bringing the little guy out for real combat was the right thing to do. He immediately said, "Little mushroom, let's have a real combat session."

The little guy's mushroom cap immediately flew up.

Mushroom: (ﾟoﾟ) Oh? Real combat?

at last.

The little one, after waking up, realized it was time for a snack.

It sprang up instantly, its extraordinary evolutionary power activating instinctively. At that very moment, the [Snow Tree Beast] opposite it sensed the fluctuation of extraordinary power, abruptly opening its tree eyes and sensing an extremely powerful threat…

The battle has begun.

Soon.

Many beast tamers from other venues also noticed this area.

"Holy crap, look at that venue!"

Someone exclaimed, instantly attracting the attention of their companions. Soon, more and more beast tamers saw what it was from afar, their eyes practically bulging with excitement.

After their initial surprise, the beast tamers who witnessed this scene began calling out to their friends who were also in the area.

Humans always have an inexhaustible curiosity and a desire to share.

Before long, a considerable flow of people surged towards the venue of Beast Taming Class 26.

Not far away.

Jiang Xiaoran and Cheng Jiaqi, who happened to be passing by, saw this scene. The two girls looked puzzled, and Cheng Jiaqi grabbed a boy.

"Hey students, where are you headed? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The boy who was being pulled away looked bewildered and said, "I don't know either. I saw everyone running that way, so I followed them."

Cheng Jiaqi was speechless upon hearing this. If you don't know anything, then why did you run a deer?

Letting go of the first guy, she pulled over another: "Hey, you weren't running along too, were you? Don't you know what happened up ahead?"

This time, I finally caught someone smart. The latter immediately replied, "My best friend just messaged me, saying that there's a ground mushroom fighting with another pet ahead, and it's quite a fierce fight. He wants me to go check it out."

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Xiaoran and Cheng Jiaqi felt a chill run down their spines.

Free-range mushrooms?

The two exchanged a glance.

They almost unanimously agreed.

"Lin Yi?"
