Chapter 56

The Purple-Striped Chipmunk was similar in size to a squirrel with a fluffy tail that was close to its body. Its fur was light yellow and its belly was a milky white color. Three vertical purple stripes extended from its back to its buttocks, which was the namesake of the Purple-Striped Chipmunk.

With the help of Li Jingyi’s throw, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk jumped up high, and a crackle of electricity surged from its right paw, turning into a silver paw print that was several inches in size, and planting it on the obsidian soundlessly.

Hum~

The obsidian shook slightly. When the Purple-Striped Chipmunk landed on the ground, some black sand-like fragments fell from the obsidian.

At the same time, a shallow paw print had appeared on the obsidian. It was not deep, it was barely an inch, but a mark had clearly been left.

‘Sigh, I didn’t think that the obsidian would be that tough. Lucky that my Lil Purple was still strong enough!’

Li Jingyi was calm on the surface, but she had let out a sigh of relief internally. She had originally thought that the Purple-Striped Chipmunk could easily leave a dent on the rock. However, to her surprise, it had only left a shallow paw print. If one did not look closely, it would not be obvious at all.

“Good job, Lil Purple!” Li Jingyi opened her arms and pulled the Purple-Striped Chipmunk into an embrace. The latter kept shaking its little head, rubbing against Li Jingyi’s now-exposed chest.

The internal affairs hall’s clan elder stroked his graying beard, a smile appearing on his face. He exclaimed, “Li Jingyi, qualified!”

“Good! Good!” After Li Jingyi qualified, many of the onlooking clan members cheered, especially those who were her family relatives.

At that moment, Li Changsheng released his omniscience and obtained the Purple-Striped Chipmunk’s information.

[Demon Name]: Purple-Striped Chipmunk (Growing Stage)

[Demon Level]: Middle 1st Order

[Demon Class]: Middle-class Servant

[Demon Grade]: Medial Grade

[Demon Bloodline]: None

[Demon Type]: Lightning

[Demon Condition]: Healthy

[Demon Weakness]: Ice

‘Perhaps she has even more powerful demon pets!’ Li Changsheng thought to himself. Li Jingyi was the Demon Garden’s clan elder’s favorite granddaughter, she might have better demon pets.

After Li Jingyi qualified, a few more people went up for the test. Unfortunately, all of them failed, including Li Xiaogong and Li Jianren.

Even though Li Jianren had obtained many resources from Li Changsheng, he had limited time. In the end, his Fire Wolf did not become a middle-order demon pet.

“Next, Li Tianyu!” At that moment, the internal affairs hall’s clan elder called Li Tianyu, the second crowd favorite, forward.

Once he reached the venue, Li Tianyu summoned his demon pet. As a blood-colored hexagram appeared, so did a majestic Long-Haired Lion.

As its name suggested, its body was covered with long, thick golden fur, and a long, golden mane surrounded its neck. It had an intimidating gaze and gave off an aura of mighty majesty.

As soon as the Long-Haired Lion appeared, Li Changsheng had obtained its information.

[Demon Name]: Long-Haired Lion (Mature Stage)

[Demon Level]: Middle 2nd Order

[Demon Class]: Upper-class Servant

[Demon Grade]: Medial Grade

[Demon Bloodline]: None

[Demon Type]: Earth

[Demon Condition]: Healthy

[Demon Weakness]: Wood

Compared to the Purple-Striped Chipmunk, the Long-Haired Lion’s class and level were greater. It was also known for its aggressive attacks, so naturally, it was impossible that it would fail.

“Claw crush!”

Under Li Tianyu’s command, the Long-Haired Lion leaped into the air. Its right claw shone with a shocking brilliance and fell straight upon the obsidian.

Bang~ Crash~

Compared to the Purple-Striped Chipmunk’s paw print, the Long-Haired Lion’s claw marks were deeper.

The internal affairs hall’s clan elder was not surprised, and announced loudly, “Li Tianyu, qualified!”

Wow~

When Li Tianyu qualified, many of the clan members cheered, louder than they did when Li Jingyi passed. The reason for that was simple—the Long-Haired Lion was more majestic, and the claw marks that it had left were deeper.

“Next, Li Changsheng!”

After Li Tianyu left, the clan elder called for Li Changsheng.

Once Li Changsheng arrived, he did not give the crowd the time to think. He shook his demon pouch and there was a swift flash of brilliance, the Heaven’s Fowl flapped its wings, letting out a clear and sweet-sounding cry.

“This—this is a Heaven’s Fowl!”

“Check out its aura, this is another middle-order demon pet!”

“It came from his demon pouch. Could it be…the Heaven’s Fowl is Li Changsheng’s temporary demon pet? Dear lord!”

…

In that instance, the training ground first fell into silence, then it was quickly followed by a burst of commotion.

Seeing the Heaven Fowl spreading its wings, everyone, including Clan Elder Li Wenbo, stirred with excitement.

No one thought that Li Changsheng would have a Heaven’s Fowl. There was more to this young man than met the eye. Not only was Heaven’s Fowl rare, but it also could rapidly heal demon pets’ wounds.

Most importantly, the Heaven’s Fowl was only Li CHangsheng’s temporary demon pet. What this showed was that the main contracted demon pets of most of the people present were not as good as Li Changsheng’s temporary demon pet.

“Heaven’s Fowl, use Blazing Sword!” Li Changsheng chose Heaven’s Fowl’s strongest move.

Chirp~

The Heaven’s Fowl flapped its wings and let out a clear cry, its pure white wings shining. Countless white spots of light converged and quickly turned into a long sword of flames, slashing at the obsidian.

Screech~

A harsh sound of friction rang out, traveling across hundreds of meters. At the same time, the obsidian shook violently, and it did not stop shaking for a long time.

At the same time, a large amount of black sand fell onto the ground. A long slash had appeared across the obsidian, and it was deeper than the claw marks made by the Long-Haired Lion.

The Heaven’s Fowl was of a greater level after all, and it displayed high-level skills. So naturally, it was more powerful than the Long-Haired Lion’s Claw Crush.

“It’s so strong!”

“You saw that too, right?”

“That’s insane. He used a middle-order Heaven’s Fowl as a temporary demon pet. What a waste, I wonder if he’d be willing to release it.”

“If his temporary demon pet is this powerful, his official demon pets must be even stronger!”

…

Upon seeing the slash on the obsidian, many people were momentarily taken aback. They could see Heaven Fowl’s strength even more evidently. At that moment, it did not matter if it was the spectators, the participants, or the clan elders, they all had their gaze fixed on Li Changsheng.

Upon the high platform, Li Haoqiong sat not far from the Clan Elder. He was also shocked by the strength displayed by his nephew. He even made a quick calculation, with a Superior Grade White-Fronted Tiger, a Nature Faerie of unknown grade, and this Heaven’s Fowl, Li Changsheng had every hope of competing for the first place in the competition.

Unfortunately, Li Haoqiong’s information was outdated. If only he knew that Ai Xi had evolved into a Wild Saber-toothed Tiger, who knew what he would be thinking now.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Li Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged. With the Heaven Fowl’s strength, leaving marks on the obsidian was completely within his expectation. It would be odd if the rock had not budged.

Of course, he was not afraid of being targeted by others. Even though Heaven’s Fowl was precious, if its grade is not known, none of the clan members would be willing to take the risk.

Even if any of the clan members became greedy, none of them would dare to make a move to steal it openly. Even if they disregard the clan rules, they also had to consider the fact that Li Haoqiong was Li Changsheng’s second uncle.

Moreover, as long as he obtained an institute’s recommendation, Li Changsheng would leave the clan soon, so he was not afraid of being remembered.

At that moment, the internal affairs hall’s clan elder gave Li Changsheng a long look, then announced loudly, “Good, Li Changsheng. Qualified!”

Wow~

When they finally reacted, the clan members cheered. Many of them clapped vigorously; Li Changsheng’s prestige was no less than Li Tianyu, and it might have even exceeded his slightly.
