Andre's Pet Shop Adventure

On the tense training ground of Vienna Neustadt College, the aftermath of the battle had not yet subsided. Claire saw the Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo break out of the ground and knock the Lightning Rat away. She couldn't help but feel her heart shrank suddenly and exclaimed, "Lightning Rat!" In her mind, although the Lightning Rat had extraordinary comprehension, it was only a low-level pet after all. It would probably be seriously injured if it suffered such a powerful blow.

In an instant, dust and fog spread and quickly submerged the figure of the Lightning Rat. Claire was anxious and hurriedly summoned her Hundred-toothed Tiger Beast, loudly ordering it to rush into the field to help the Lightning Rat.

"Le Le, stop your pet!" Claire shouted anxiously, and worried secretly in her heart. At this moment, Lan Lele was surrounded by earth walls. I'm afraid her voice might not be able to penetrate the layers of obstacles and reach Lan Lele's ears.

"Oops!" Claire secretly cried out in her heart. At this time, the Hundred-toothed Tiger Beast had already rushed into the field like an arrow from a bow. Its huge body was like a surging torrent, instantly dispersing the smoke and revealing the figure of the Lightning Rat inside.

Claire looked closely and was stunned, her face full of astonishment. She clearly saw the Lightning Rat being knocked away, so how could it be lying on the ground safely at this moment? This was really beyond her expectation.

Bang! Bang! At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently. Everyone looked in astonishment and saw that across the training ground, outside the earth wall protecting Lan Lele, another earth wall suddenly stood up, three in a row, layered, like an extremely solid fortress, tightly surrounding the earth wall inside and guarding it tightly.

Claire was stunned and full of doubts. "What does this mean?" She thought to herself, "Is he not going to attack?" However, she knew very well that this Ksitigarbha Toudao was a fifth-level pet, and it was also the most defensive rock-type pet. The strongest Hundred-toothed Tiger Beast beside her was only a fourth-level mid-level one. There was no way to break through its defense.

After a while, the layers of earth walls slowly loosened, revealing a small hole. Lan Lele poked his head out like a curious little squirrel. When he saw that there was no danger outside, he showed a surprised look on his face and asked Claire, "What happened?"

"What?" Claire looked confused, and she herself hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"Just now, Zang Zang suddenly sensed a strong danger, and then locked me in. I was still wondering, what kind of danger could there be in our academy's training ground? Now it seems that there is nothing?" Lan Lele frowned and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Sense the danger?" Claire was confused, with a lot of questions in her mind. Everything was fine just now, how could there be any danger? Moreover, her pet did not notice anything, and did not respond to any danger.

"Could it be that Zang Zang sensed it wrong?" Lan Lele said as she turned her head and saw that in the shadow behind the hole in the earth wall, Ksitigarbha was curled up there, his body was trembling slightly, and his closed eyes were still full of fear, as if he had just experienced an extremely terrible nightmare.

"Strange..." Lan Lele tilted his head, puzzled.

Claire also noticed the terrified look of Ksitigarbha, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She knew that pets were very simple, and this terrified look was definitely not a disguise. This meant that there must have been something that made Ksitigarbha feel the danger, or even scared to the extreme. However, she had just been paying attention to the battle, but did not notice any abnormal situation.

"Wait, could it be..." Claire suddenly had an idea in her mind, thinking of the end of the battle, when Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo sneaked up on the Lightning Rat and hurriedly withdrew. The Lightning Rat did not suffer any substantial damage, which showed that Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo's attack did not hit it. According to common sense, it should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it. Unless, there was some special reason that made it give up this great opportunity. For example, something it was afraid of. And this thing... Could it be the Lightning Rat?

Thinking of this, Claire's eyes flashed with a trace of shock. "Is this possible?" She secretly doubted in her heart that the Lightning Rat was a low-level pet. Although it had comprehended high-level pet skills, its own potential was ultimately limited to the framework of low-level pets and it was difficult to break away. And this Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo, a pet with high-level bloodline, was always arrogant. How could he be afraid of a low-level Lightning Rat? This was really unbelievable.

"Le Le, let your Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva come over here." Claire suddenly said, thinking that it was actually very simple to verify her idea. She only needed to do a small test to find out.

Lan Lele was slightly stunned. She didn't understand Claire's intention, but she still sent a thought to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva received the master's command. Although it responded to Lan Lele's consciousness with resistance, the constraints of the Star Power Contract forced it to obey. Its body could only walk over slowly and honestly, but its steps were as slow as a snail under a spell.

"Lightning Rat, go to it." Claire gave the order to the Lightning Rat with her consciousness. Lightning Rat sensed the master's thoughts, slowly propped up its limbs, and its small body actually walked out as gracefully and lightly as a cat's steps, silently, like a ghost in the dark night.

Although Claire and Lan Lele were both excellent students in the academy, their vision was still limited after all. They did not notice the powerful force and the vague murderous intent hidden in the Thunder Rat's every move. At this time, the Thunder Rat's momentum and posture were naturally revealed invisibly, just like an assassin hidden in the dark night, who could burst out a shocking attack at any time, making it hard to defend against.

The Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo, who was walking towards Lan Lele step by step, saw the Thunder Rat approaching slowly, and the panic in his eyes suddenly became stronger. His steps almost stopped, and the ground at his feet began to tremble slightly. The sand slowly extended from his feet and gradually covered his body. It was desperately trying to thicken its own defense and try to protect itself.

Claire's eyes flashed, and she already had the answer in her mind. She hurriedly asked the Thunder Rat to come back and directed the Hundred-toothed Evil Tiger Beast to walk towards the Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo. This time, Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo did not react at all. Instead, as the Lightning Rat left, he seemed to be pardoned and heaved a sigh of relief. The earth-armored rock layer covering his body seemed to have lost its support and turned into quicksand and slowly slid into the ground.

"Sure enough." Seeing this scene, Claire was shocked. It was really the Lightning Rat. This Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo was actually afraid of it! ! You know, this Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo is a well-known high-level rock-type pet in the pet world. It can be called a star among pets. At this moment, he was actually afraid of a Lightning Rat that can be seen everywhere. This is simply unheard of.

"Something must have happened just now that I don't know about. So, its power is not just 'Multiple Lightning Shadows', it must have other powerful abilities!" Claire guessed secretly in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help showing excitement. Just a multiple Lightning Shadows Afterimage had already made her excited, and now there are other potential abilities. This is really a surprise. "The boss didn't mention it, could it be that the boss doesn't know about it?" Claire thought to herself, "If that's the case, then I'm really lucky and made a fortune!"

"This store is so conscientious, but judging from the popularity, it seems that there is not much business. It should be that not many people know about this store. I must go there more times before this store becomes popular and try to get a membership card or something..." Claire's mind has begun to wander, as if she has seen the day when her pet becomes a peerless pet under the careful cultivation of this store.

"Claire?" Lan Lele looked at Claire who was stunned and grinning, feeling a little weird, and couldn't help wondering if her Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo was scared by her.

Claire came back to her senses, and didn't bother to explain to Lan Lele, and hurriedly said: "Accompany me to practice with other pets."

"Uh, oh." Although Lan Lele was a little confused, he didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.

As for the matter that Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo was afraid of, she did not think about it carefully. She did not care much about pets. If she was willing to spend more time on this, with her family's strong financial resources, it would be easy for her to become a celebrity on the college's combat power list.

In the following time, Claire sent out the Hundred-toothed Evil Tiger Beast, the Fallen Phoenix, and the Rock Ugly Beast to fight against Lan Lele's Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo. After a fierce battle, Claire was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength of her three pets fostered in the mysterious shop seemed to have improved significantly compared to before. Although the improvement was not as significant as that of the Thunder Rat, in terms of combat power, it was at least half a times higher. Take the previous Hundred-toothed Evil Tiger Beast, for example. Its combat power was less than the fifth level, and it was not a match for Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo at all. But now it can fight with Ksitigarbha Tou Tuo for a few moves, and it has not even fallen behind. This is really amazing.

As a frequent sparring partner, Lan Lele also keenly felt this change. She was a little surprised. In just three days, Claire's three pets seemed to have taken some magical potion, and their combat effectiveness increased significantly! "Could this be caused by the foster care of the pet store?" Lan Lele's eyes flashed. As the daughter of a businessman, she was born with a keen business sense and vaguely realized that the store might be a treasure trove with huge business opportunities.

Soon, the sparring ended. Claire looked up at the time and found that it was almost time for the competition to start. She thought in her heart that she couldn't let the pets continue to consume energy. After all, the previous battle was just a little bit, in order to test the strength and progress of the pets.

"Let's go." Claire was in a happy and excited mood. Originally, she didn't have too many expectations for the champion of this annual competition, but after the rehearsal just now, she felt the transformation of her pets, and she couldn't help but ignite a trace of fighting spirit in her heart, thinking that she might be able to hit the championship throne in this competition.
