BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 - 43: Beaten up by Snowy
“Plop!”
“Plop!”
“Plop!”
Zhang Hail s hand lightly patted the top of the Blue-eyed Badger’s head.
The Blue-eyed Badger didn’t dodge, but actually squinted its eyes in enjoyment.
However, soon it showed a hint of shyness in its eyes and lowered its head.
After hesitating a bit, it reluctantly turned around and returned to the wooden stake it was initially attacking.
Chen Fan noted all of its actions and expressions.
This bald bro sure has a strong personality …but that doesn’t seem right, don’t all bald bros have a strong personality?
This Blue-eyed Badger obviously has a strong character and a lot of pride. In the end, it ended up being abandoned by the Guardian Beastmaster…
Perhaps it buried its emotions since then, not daring to share its inner thoughts anymore.
Even if its current master was the one who saved its life, even though it enjoys being gently patted on the head, it still chose to leave. Unlike the other Guardian Beasts, it does not communicate much with humans.
Chen Fan nodded subconsciously.
For some reason, he felt that the Blue-eyed Badger now shares similarities with his childhood self.
As a child, he also once thought that he was a child abandoned by his parents.
While Chen Fan was looking back, Zhang Hai was staring widly.
He only tried this because he believed in Chen Fan, he never expected…
That the Blue-eyed Badger would like having its head lightly patted? Zhang Hai felt like he had studied Beast Cultivation until he understood the inside intestines of a dog.
Seems like he needs to learn from his apprentice.
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly said: “Master, you should ask someone to open this cage for me, let me go in and play.”
“Play…” Zhang Hai was speechless.
Whether a guardian beastmaster or a star martial artist, he has never met anyone willing to play with a Blue-eyed Badger. Would that thing even want to play with you?
If you really wanted to play…
Either you play it to the death, or it plays you to death.
It was as if life and death were nothing to it. Whoever can’t accept will have to fight.
That’s exactly what it is.
But Chen Fan has a 4th level Guardian Beast and a 3rd level Guardian Beast, so Zhang Hai wasn’t afraid he’d be bullied by the Blue-eyed Badger.
No matter how fierce the Blue-eyed Badger is, it’s only a 2nd level Guardian Beast. It’s no match for two of Chen Fan’s beasts.
Zhang Hai made a call and summoned a Beast Cultivator manager to unlock the cage.
“Be careful, summon the other beast first,
Zhang Hai whispered: “In this big Beast Cultivator Association, it only recognizes me. Other people who go in will most likely be attacked.”
“No need to worry, master,” Chen Fan said calmly. “After all, I’ve already broken through the first-grade realm, even if I’m empty-handed, I won’t have a big problem fighting a conventional 3rd level monster.”
“What!” Zhang Hai was startled as he stared at Chen Fan.
It’s normal that Chen Fan has two Guardian Beasts, one 4th level and one 3rd level, and his star power has reached the first-grade realm.
But the first-grade realm, doesn’t only require reaching it in star power!
You also need to create eight main channels, open at least seventy-two collateral channels, and forge a star sea!
Chen Fan just arrived at the War God Academy yesterday, and he’s already in the first-grade realm today?
“Indeed, I’m in the first-grade realm…”
Seeing that the old man was staring at him, Chen Fan laughed: “After arriving at the academy yesterday, I asked Mr. Li Sheng to help me apply for the academy’s basic cultivation method in advance. Under his guidance, it took me a long time to break through into the first-grade realm.”
“Don’t believe me? Watch!”
With that, Chen Fan shook his body slightly and opened up the eight meridians.
Virtual images of the meridians immediately appeared around him.
“Good lad! ”
Zhang Hai heavily slapped Chen Fan’s shoulder, almost knocking him over: “Never thought that your talent in cultivation would be so terrifyingly strange! ”
Strange and terrifying…
Who describes someone’s cultivation gift like that?
Chen Fan rolled his eyes.
Zhang Hai laughed heartily: “Alright, you told me to open the cage, didn’t you?
It’s opened now, go in.”
He let Chen Fan in, but he didn’t leave himself.
Instead, he sat down on a cyan stone stool by the side.
Chen Fan didn’t go in immediately.
He stayed outside the cage for a few moments, glancing inside.
The cage was big, covering a large piece of forest.
Inside, there were many huge trees filled with flowers and plants. There were even several artificial hills and ponds.
Apart from that, there were several specially-made “wooden stakes” scattered throughout the small forest.
A pretty good training ground…
Chen Fan had just gambled away all his wealth to buy a long knife yesterday, he didn’t have a chance to try it out yet.
Snowy and Feicui were also upgraded by him to level 1 in combat power level last night, but they haven’t had a chance to get used to their power and skills yet.
Just in time for him to use this bald bro’s playground to practice!
Chen Fan summoned Snowy and with the Administrator’s stunned gaze, he walked into the cage with Snowy and Feicui.
“Hiss!”
Upon noticing an intruder in its territory, the Blue-eyed Badger, which was originally attacking the wooden stake, charged over at once! Its fur stood on end and both eyes were deadlocked onto Chen Fan!
“Meow! ”
Snowy didn’t show any signs of weakness and growled back at the Blue-eyed Badger.
Blue-eyed Badger was slightly taken aback…
Among monsters, even if they don’t know each other’s level, they inherently have an advantage. They can get a rough sense of the intimidating aura from each other.
Just with one growl from Snowy, this Blue-eyed Badger was feeling an unimaginable threat!
“Hiss!”
The Blue-eyed Badger let out a threatening hiss at Snowy.
Snowy disdainfully rolled its eyes and jumped down from Chen Fan’s arms.
A Ragdoll Cat and a Blue-eyed Badger then started a face-off, taking up a battling stance!
[Guardian Beast Name]: Ragdoll Cat – Snowy
[Combat Power Level]: Level 4 [Species Level]: Awakened/Moderate [Guardian Beast Attribute]: Thunder
[Guardian Beast Weakness]: Fire
[Species Skills]: Thunder Cat Claw+, Thunder Flash+, Electric Armor+
[Guardian Beast Status]: Curious, contemptuous, relaxed.
[Guardian Beast Preferences]: Prefers the company of Chen Fan, either on his shoulder or in his arms, and loves head pats from him.
[Potential Level]: Six Stars
[Breakthrough to 5th Level Requirements]: …
[Species Evolution Route]: Two routes
Chen Fan stood still, only mentally commanding Snowy to play with the Blue-Eyed Badger, but not to seriously injure or kill it.
After leveling up to the 4th level, Snowy didn’t awaken any new skills. Its fur remained the same, and it only became slightly bigger.
However, after elevating to an Awakened species, flashes of an oncoming storm could occasionally be seen in Snowy’s piercing eyes.
In the midst of these storms, lightning cracked and thunder roared, creating a horrifying sight!
Last night, Chen Fan had been quite startled when he accidentally discovered this!
At this moment, Feicui also hopped down out of curiosity and went to the grass nearby, looking forward to the show.
“Hiss!”
“Roar!”
“I just want to crush all of you, or be crushed by all of you.”
As expected, the Blue-Eyed Badger was the king of arrogance.
Other 2nd level monsters in front of a 4th level Snowy would either shiver in fear or turn tail and run for their lives.
The Blue-Eyed Badger, on the other hand, didn’t yield an inch!
However, what surprised Chen Fan was that the Badger was not as mindlessly reckless as his master had described.
While it indeed stood its ground under Snowy’s threatening aura, it didn’t foolishly charge forth without a thought.
After Snowy had shown its powers, the Badger began to slowly circle around Snowy…
It was looking for Snowy’s weak spots and opportunities for attack!
At the same time, a white glow began to shimmer about the Badger.
A layer of stone skin had formed on the Badger’s body.
Be it an equal ranked or even a 3rd level monster, it would surely have a headache when faced with this ability…
Already tough in physicality, with the additional stone skin, both ordinary physical and magic attacks would struggle to inflict significant damage, Seeing this, Chen Fan was slightly stunned.
The wisdom of the Blue-eyed Badger was far superior to an ordinary second-grade monster.
This proved that the Badger must also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages…for instance, if it knew it couldn’t defeat Snowy, it would probably withdraw.
Then why did his master say that it had recklessly attacked the 3rd level Wind Wolf, regardless of the safety of its Guardian Beastmaster?
While Chen Fan was pondering this, the Badger launched the first attack!
“Whoosh!”
It was seen circling to Snowy’s rear before making a leap, swooping directly at Snowy!
Even while still airborne, it opened its mouth wide, as if it wanted to tear Snowy to pieces!
“Crackle!”
Snowy didn’t even bother to dodge. It simply turned its head nonchalantly, its small paw wrapped with electrical serpents. One swift slap sent the Badger flying.
“Boom boom boom!”
The Badger tumbled repeatedly on the ground, disorientedly scrambling back onto its feet.
Its hair was singed where Snowy had slapped it.
While the stone skin may have offered impressive defense, Snowy’s lightning attack was horrifying!
“Roar!”
Infuriated, the Badger looped around Snowy swiftly and attacked from the rear once again without a second thought!
“Humph!”
Without waiting for the Badger to close in, Snowy flashed a sharp light from its small paws and blasted out another Thunder Cat Claw.
Bang! The Badger was sent flying by Thunder Cat Claw before it could even get close!
In the face of a 4th level Snowy, even at 30% strength, it could still easily squash the 2nd level Badger!
“Roar!”
Driven to a frenzy by rage, the Badger trembled, and its stone skin became even harder!
Later, as if crazy, it dashed towards Snowy, ready to fight to the death.
However, the Badger, only had two skills, “Crazy Bite” and “Stone Skin”.
“Crazy Bite” was a melee skill, and it couldn’t inflict damage unless it got close to the enemy.
“Stone Skin” was indeed an excellent defensive skill. Used on the Badger, whose hide was thick and skin tough, it indeed worked wonders. It could virtually ignore attacks from many monsters of the same level.
The issue was, Snowy’s attacks were of a thunder attribute!
And the gap in power between them was just simply too big!
The Badger, after attacking time and again, had to confront Snowy’s powerful blows, causing smoke to rise from its body.
After battling for a while, Snowy looked a bit displeased, turned its head and meowed to Chen Fan.
It wasn’t interested in playing these rudimentary games anymore.
It wanted to beat the Badger up directly!
Chen Fan nodded slightly: “Increase your power a little.”
Snowy let out a delighted meow. When the Badger charged at it again, it used Thunder Flash to teleport behind the Badger and…
Seeing its target disappear, the Badger was surprised.
Before it could react, Snowy, carrying a hint of fury, had already landed a powerful blow on its back!
“Bang!”
The Badger was directly pounded into the ground!
“Hmph!”
With a light huff, Snowy turned and walked away with its head held high like a little princess, jumping back into Chen Fan’s arms.
Chen Fan silently stared at the large pit left by the Badger but remained silent.
The monster’s attribute panel he saw showed that the Badger had been severely injured, but these injuries weren’t lethal.
Moreover, in addition to sadness, the Badger’s states included pain, anger, frustration, and irritation.
After quite a while, the Badger finally caught its breath and crawled out of the pit.
After crawling out of the hole, it glanced at Snowy, who was in Chen Fan’s arms, and turned its head away with spite.
As expected…
Although it was stubborn, this creature wasn’t stupid.
It was well aware that there was a huge gap between it and Snowy; going back would only be suicide.
Chen Fan nodded inwardly.
The Badger’s current behavior seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with what his master had earlier described.
Just as he was watching, the Badger’s eyes moved. It took a couple of steps to the side.
Suddenly…
It bared its fangs and, with astonishing speed, rushed towards Feicui, who was watching leisurely from the sidelines!
