Others Tame Beasts, I Tame Demons - Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Water Spirit, Elite Potential!
“Let’s add you on WeChat. I’ll contact you when we get out.”
“Okay.”
Su Yi was already used to Bai Zhining’s straightforward style. Without any nonsense, he immediately took out his phone and added her on WeChat.
“Look, there’s another Water Spirit!”
Zhang Xiaotong pointed into the distance and cried out in surprise.
However, while she was excited, she was also a little nervous. She was afraid that this Water Spirit would not be able to meet the requirements of her two teammates.
Since yesterday afternoon, they had already discovered five or six Water Spirits, but as expected, they were all denied by Su Yi and Bai Zhining on the grounds that their aptitude was too mediocre.
“It really is Water Spirit.”
Hearing her cry, Su Yi immediately looked in the direction she was pointing at. Indeed, he saw a blue little fellow on the lake.
From a distance, Water Spirit looked like it was made entirely of water. It had fan-shaped ears, big eyes, and a fish-shaped tail. It was adorable.
“It’s already the sixth. I hope I win a prize.”
Without hesitation, Su Yi checked its attributes panel.
Water Spirit
Spiritual Power: Three-star Apprentice
Attributes: Water
Skills: Small Water Bullet (Proficient), Pure Water (Proficient), Energy Water (Proficient)
Goals of Evolution: Pure Water Spirit, Spray Spirit, Water Sage
Potential: Elite
Found it!
“Congratulations, Ms. Zhang. This Water Spirit is very outstanding. I have a feeling that it will definitely grow to the elite level in the future!”
Su Yi smiled, sincerely happy for Zhang Xiaotong
Not only had this Water Spirit reached the three-star Apprentice level, but it had also mastered the skill of Energy Water.
As long as she contracted it, she could at least easily enter the middle class and make life less difficult even if she couldn’t become a millionaire.
Moreover, Beast Tamers who had such medical-type pets would be fought over by the various hospitals after graduation.
For people with poor family backgrounds and no ability to nurture combat-type pets, contracting such a pet was undoubtedly a wise choice!
“Really. Does that mean I can … contract it directly?”
Zhang Xiaotong was a little excited, but she still shifted her gaze to Bai Zhining, wanting to seek her opinion.
Although Bai Zhining didn’t have Su Yi’s ability and couldn’t directly see the potential of extraordinary creatures, she saw that the Water Spirit’s eyes were agile and roughly judged.
“This should have a certain chance of growing to elite level, or at least ordinary level. However, I’m not a professional appraiser, so my judgment might not be accurate. In the end, it still depends on luck.”
Zhang Xiaotong said happily, “I’m already very lucky to have met such good teammates like you. If not for you, I might not have been able to find the Water Spirit. Since Senior Sister doesn’t object, let’s contract this one!”
“Yeah.”
Bai Zhining nodded.
However, Su Yi thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, “How should we capture this Water Spirit? It’s playing on the lake and is at least twenty meters away from the shore. If we row over, we’ll probably scare it into diving into the bottom of the lake before we get close and we won’t know where it is.”
“Are you questioning my abilities? Leave it to
me.”
Bai Zhining didn’t waste her breath. She looked at the distant Water Spirit that hadn’t sensed the danger and immediately summoned the Stormbird.
“Stormbird, Gale Sprint, Whirlwind!”
She gave two instructions to the Stormbird in one breath.
In the next moment, the Stormbird turned into a shadow and rushed towards the Water Spirit. After entering the skill range, it immediately let out a long cry and flapped its wings to create a violent whirlwind.
Because the Stormbird was so fast, the Water Spirit, who was still playing with bubbles on the lake, had no time to react. By the time it sensed the danger, it had already been swept into the air by the whirlwind and left the lake.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Stormbird used Gale Sprint again. At the same time, it stretched out its claws and firmly grabbed the Water Spirit.
The Stormbird was an Elite extraordinary creature. The Water Spirit was as weak as a baby in front of it. No matter how it struggled, it was useless. It was still brought away from the sky above the lake and arrived in front of Su Yi and the others.
Seeing that the Water Spirit’s big watery eyes were wide open in the Stormbird’s claws, terrified and helpless, Zhang Xiaotong immediately felt sympathetic and could not help but go forward to stroke it.
“Don’t be afraid. The Stormbird won’t hurt you. I just want to be your partner.”
With that, she silently cast a contract array that enveloped Water Spirit.
Perhaps her words had worked. The Water Spirit struggled only for a moment, then relented.
Then, under Zhang Xiaotong’s happy gaze, the contract array drilled into the Water Spirit’s body and disappeared altogether.
“It worked!”
Zhang Xiaotong jumped up in excitement.
“Congratulations.”
Seeing how happy she was, Su Yi and Bai Zhining smiled.
“Senior, Su Yi, thank you!” Zhang Xiaotong looked at them sincerely.
“There’s no need to thank me. Just thank Senior. We both have to thank Senior properly.” Su Yi smiled.
Bai Zhining waved her hand and said calmly, “It’s just a school mission.”
“I don’t like to owe people favors. Even if you say that, I’ll remember it and will definitely repay you in the future,” Su Yi said seriously.
“There’s no need for that. You just have to practice seriously with my sister,” Bai Zhining said nonchalantly. “That won’t do. That’s another matter. I can’t return the favor by doing that after taking your sparring fee.” Su Yi was very serious.
Bai Zhining was stunned. “So… you never thought of repaying my favor by practicing with my sister for free?”
“Huh? Of course not. The sparring fee is too little. Wouldn’t it make me look petty to thank you in this way?”
Su Yi said seriously.
“You think I’d believe you? This is the first time I’ve seen anyone talk about being stingy with such righteousness.”
Bai Zhining rolled her eyes at him.
Which of the other boys hadn’t tried to make themselves seem generous and open and ingratiating in front of her? This guy, on the other hand, was just short of saying “I’m petty.”
‘Is there no one in this team he cares about? Doesn’t he have any intention of showing his poise in front of me?’
Su Yi’s “sincere” attitude made her a little uncomfortable.
However, Su Yi was dumbfounded.
“What stingy? Senior, did you misunderstand?”
In all honesty, he truly intended to thank her with something far more valuable.
He had already contracted the Thorn Grass. Before advancing to an ordinary Beast Tamer, he could not contract other pets.
Coupled with the fact that he didn’t have enough money, he planned to tell her about the Little Purple Mink with Grandmaster potential in the Beast Taming Mall.
Such valuable information was actually misunderstood by this senior as being stingy!
‘Whatever. As long as my conscience is clear.’
