Others Tame Beasts, I Tame Demons - Chapter 16

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Thorn Grass has won the battle. Skill proficiency increased.

Discovered dissipating soul power. Absorbing…

As the system notifications appeared, the Silver Ring Snake exhausted its last life force and collapsed to the ground.

Satisfied, the Thorn Grass released it and burrowed into the ground. By the time it emerged again, its blood had been wiped clean by the dirt.

Bai Zhining looked at this scene in surprise.

She had guessed that the Thorn Grass would be able to defeat the Silver Ring Snake, but she had not expected it to win so cleanly.

It had killed an extraordinary creature of the same level as it in just a minute. Such combat talent could be considered outstanding.

“You’re in luck. This Thorn Grass can fluently use skills like Digging and Entanglement. Its potential shouldn’t be too bad. It can most likely grow to the Ordinary level.”

Bai Zhining corrected her earlier judgment.

Was it only Normal-level?

Su Yi smiled. Although he knew that she was still ridiculously wrong, he said humbly, “The venom that the Silver Ring Snake is best at is completely ineffective against the Thorn Grass. It’s equivalent to being restrained. Winning such a battle is actually nothing. Senior, you don’t have to think too highly of it.”

Bai Zhining shook her head. “Skill proficiency can’t be faked. The one you contracted is definitely one of the best among the Thorn Grasses!”

“I’m relieved to hear that, Senior. It looks like my hunch is working.”

Su Yi smiled.

He was about to say something else when the system notification appeared again.

Absorption complete. Obtained 5 Soul Power Points. Current total is 28 Soul Power Points.

Only five points?

He winced slightly, disappointed.

It seemed that soul power was related to the level of spiritual energy. The soul power provided by apprentice-level extraordinary creatures should only be in the single digits.

If he wanted to gather 80 soul power points, he would have to kill more than ten apprentice-level extraordinary creatures.

Fortunately, there were not many other things in the forest around the lake except a lot of extraordinary creatures. Not to mention 80 soul power points, he could even gather them two or three times more!

In order to obtain more soul power points, Su Yi would not hesitate to summon the Thorn Grass when he encountered dire beasts that took the initiative to attack them.

As long as the Thorn Grass could defeat them, they could forget about leaving alive!

Of course, he only dared to bully those apprentice-level extraordinary creatures. He didn’t even dare to touch ordinary-level and above creatures. He usually left them to Bai Zhining to deal with.

In any case, as long as he was close enough, the system could still collect the soul power emitted by the extraordinary creatures that Bai Zhining had killed. It didn’t affect him much.

As time passed, the three of them finally arrived at the lake.

Su Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was a little tired. He had fought more than a dozen battles along the way!

At this moment, he could clearly feel himself growing.

In the beginning, after summoning the Thorn Grass, he could only stand at the side and watch. However, now, he could command at the right time and help the Thorn Grass win the battle!

As his combat experience increased, his cooperation with the Thorn Grass became more and more tacit.

The only thing that didn’t satisfy him was that his Thorn Grass was too self-willed. From time to time, it ignored his commands and went its own way.

However, what depressed him was that every time the Thorn Grass did whatever it wanted, it seemed to be able to achieve better results…

Not only that, but at the end of it all, the Thorn Grass transmitted smugness and contempt, as if mocking him as its master.

As it turned out, the Thorn Grass was the expert in combat. There was no need for a newbie Beast Tamer like him to command blindly.

After understanding this, Su Yi’s pride suffered a small blow. He even began to reflect. Was it a mistake to contract a pet with such high intelligence?

Such a pet could not reflect the ability and value of a Beast Tamer at all.

Look at those pets with low intelligence. Without the command of the Beast Tamer, they were useless. Their combat strength would drop by at least half!

Only such a pet could give Beast Tamers a sense of accomplishment!

Bai Zhining didn’t know about this. Seeing that the Thorn Grass had defeated an apprentice-level extraordinary creature quickly, she said in surprise, “I underestimated you in the past. I didn’t expect your commanding ability to be so strong. This level has already surpassed many ordinary Beast Tamers and can even compare to some elite Beast Tamers!”

“…”

Su Yi did not know how to respond to her and could only force a smile.

…

As night fell, the environment was black as ink, and all the teachers and students returned to the nearest safety station.

After a day of hard work, Su Yi had obtained a total of 188 soul power points!

Of course, this wasn’t because of him alone. Most of the points were contributed by the extraordinary creatures that Bai Zhining had killed.

“I successfully contracted a pet with king-level potential and obtained so many soul power points. My harvest today is not bad.”

Su Yi smiled in satisfaction.

He was satisfied, but Zhang Xiaotong did not gain anything. She had completely become a companion.

Of course, Su Yi could not be blamed. They had been searching by the lake all afternoon!

Although he also discovered a few Water Spirits during this period, their aptitude was too poor. They looked silly and had no chance of growing to the elite level.

Therefore, neither he nor Bai Zhining suggested that Zhang Xiaotong contract with them.

Zhang Xiaotong’s expectations were actually not high. It would be fine as long as she could get a Water Spirit with ordinary potential. However, seeing that her two teammates were against it, she could only give up in the end.

And then… there was no then. She would have to wait until tomorrow to try again.

“It’s really dark at night in the mystic realm.”

In the simple eight-person dormitory, Su Yi looked out of the window and could not help but sigh.

There was no sun or moon or stars in the mystic realm. The alternation of day and night was done by light and dark spiritual energy.

When light-element spiritual energy was active and dark-element spiritual energy was silent, it was daytime.

When dark spiritual energy was active and light spiritual energy was silent, it was night.

Miraculously, the cycle of light and darkness in the mystic realm was exactly the same as the shift of day and night on the Blue Planet!

To put it simply, the day and night in the mystic realm were almost the same as the outside world!

Many scientists and spiritual energy researchers had studied this phenomenon and concluded that it must have been influenced by the rules of the Blue Planet’s native plane.

The Blue Planet was affected by the rules of the mystic realm and gave birth to all kinds of extraordinary creatures and treasures. After the mystic realm integrated into the Blue Planet, it would naturally be affected by the rules here.

Of course, the details would have to wait for further research by various countries.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

His phone suddenly rang.

Su Yang opened it and saw that the form teacher had sent a message to the class group.

“@Everyone, report to me if you’ve contracted pets today, including the pet species and spiritual energy level. I need to make a record.”

Should I report it?

Fine. There’s nothing to hide about the Thorn Grass

Su Yi immediately edited the pet information and sent it to the class group.

Then, the class chat group, which was still chatting, instantly fell silent.

After a long time, a new message appeared in the group.

“Brother, Senior Bai Zhining personally led the team and you contracted such a damn thing? Why are you so stupid? What a waste of an opportunity!”

“…”
