Chapter 7

C7 – The Little Snowball Evolved

The abrupt turn of events left everyone dumbfounded once more.

Zou Xinrui and Moo Shuqin’s eyes went wide with astonishment as they gazed at the Ice Crystal Soul hovering above the ground. “What is that?”

Wasn’t Xie Yang’s pet supposed to be Little Snowball?

How had it transformed into this unrecognizable creature?

Bai Tian was equally taken aback.

She was more familiar with Xie Yang than anyone else and had previously seen Little Snowball.

This petite, adorable ice-attribute pet bore no resemblance to Little Snowball.

“What’s happening?” Bai Tian’s face was a mask of bewilderment.

As the girls looked on in stunned silence, a barrage of icicles mercilessly pummeled the charging Spirit Wolf.

In a mere moment, the Spirit Wolf was lacerated by the relentless icicles.

Its body was swiftly encased in a layer of frost, eliciting a piercing howl of agony.

“How can this be?” Yin Tian’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

His Spirit Wolf possessed the strength of the second rank’s first layer.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Yet, it had been wounded by a high school student’s pet!

Did that imply the student’s pet was also of the second rank?

“Could he be one of the elite students from a high school?”

“But that’s impossible. The pets of high school students typically peak at the first rank’s ninth layer. I’ve never heard of any pet advancing to the second rank,” Yin Tian thought, both shocked and furious.

Bai Tian was the star student at Lakeshell High.

Yet, her Demon Flame Bird had only reached the first rank’s ninth layer.

The gap between the Demon Flame Bird and the Spirit Wolf of the second rank’s first layer might seem minor, but it was the vast divide between the first and second ranks.

The Spirit Wolf could effortlessly overpower the Demon Flame Bird.

“What are you waiting for? Apologize now!”

Dazed by the blow, it took Luo Xiaoyan several seconds to come to her senses. She then bowed apologetically and fearfully to Bai Tian and the others.

Xie Yang then gestured dismissively for them to leave.

Yin Tian and Luo Xiaoyan didn’t dare linger and scurried away hastily.

“Are we really just going to let them off the hook?” Moo Shuqin muttered disdainfully as she watched them retreat.

“A lesson should suffice. We’re not murderers, after all,” Bai Tian reasoned, her eyes softening. “Besides, reviving a pet beast consumes considerable resources. They’ve already suffered a significant loss.”

Moo Shuqin felt somewhat appeased by Bai Tian’s rationale.

She then turned to Xie Yang with eyes full of admiration.

“Brother Xie, you’re incredible. You took down a second-rank Spirit Wolf with such ease.”

Xie Yang just smiled, offering no reply.

Once, such a feat would have swelled his pride.

But with the Achievement System now in his grasp, his ambitions soared higher.

To him, besting a second-rank pet beast was no longer a noteworthy challenge.

“Where’s your Little Snowball?” Bai Tian couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer and asked, puzzled.

Xie Yang, stroking the Ice Crystal Soul that nuzzled up to him, responded nonchalantly, “This is Little Snowball. It’s evolved into an Ice Crystal Soul.”

Bai Tian and his companions were dumbfounded, as if they had just encountered the inconceivable.

Little Snowball could evolve?

This was news to them—they had never come across such a phenomenon!

Overwhelmed with astonishment and itching to raise their doubts, they couldn’t deny the evidence before their eyes.

Prior to their advancement to apprentice Beastmasters, each could only possess a single pet, no exceptions.

“Is it possible that Little Snowball actually has an evolutionary form?”

“Could we be looking at a hidden evolutionary path that’s remained undiscovered until now?”

Exchanging glances, Bai Tian and the others were brimming with incredulity.
