Bluish-green feet stuck out of its back shell. A trace of electricity could be seen dancing on it. On its dark shell, there was a faint silver-white light that slowly flickered.
“I found the Thunder God Snail in the ocean,” Old Ji said while pointing at the Thunder God Snail. “It isn’t very strong, but it has a very gentle character. That should be enough to train Da Zi.”
Da Zi looked at the Thunder God Snail with fear. It then quietly moved behind Gao Peng’s legs. However, it was too big, so no matter how it tried to hide, it was always very visible.
“Thunder God Snail, you will be responsible for training this centipede’s electric abilities.”
The Thunder God Snail nodded. One could see its shell move up and down twice.
“Go on. The Thunder God Snail’s attribute is similar to yours. You should know that it’s your senior, and you need to listen to your seniors, understand?” Gao Peng said gently as he turned around and softly patted Da Zi on the head.
Da Zi was still terrified. It cautiously looked at the Thunder God Snail through the gap in Gao Peng’s legs. It just couldn’t bring itself to go over.
Gao Peng had no choice but to ask Dumby to carry Da Zi over.
Da Zi, who was being held up in the air, struggled for its life. Gao Peng kept hearing its voice in his head. “You don’t want me anymore! You changed!”
“I haven’t changed! Gao Peng said unhappily. “It’s only because you’re too scared! How could I have a familiar who’s this cowardly!”
“I learned it from you!” Da Zi started to make threatening gestures, looking exasperated.
“Ridiculous! When have I ever been afraid? I’m an indomitable spirit. I have never retreated in my life!” Gao Peng immediately gave Dumby an order to shut Da Zi’s mouth. He turned around and said righteously to the Thunder God Snail, “I will be handing this disobedient familiar to you to train. Please don’t hold back!”
He specifically emphasized his last four words.
The Thunder God Snail beat its own shell with its claws and made thumping sounds.
Ji Hanwu turned his head, smiled, and said to Gao Peng, “Thunder God Snail said it’s no problem. Just hand Da Zi over.”
Da Zi was able to transmit its thoughts to Gao Peng through the Blood Contract even though its mouth was sealed shut. Gao Peng turned around and pretended not to have heard.
“Grandpa, what about Stripey, Dumby, and Flamy?”
Ji Hanwu clapped his hands at the lake. A loud shocking sound followed, and a White Aquatic Dragon appeared from the waves. The dragon flew into the air, its huge body casting a large shadow on the ground. The wind that was produced by the dragon’s flight flattened the grass around them.
Besides Flamy, this was the first time the other familiars had been this close to a White Aquatic Dragon.
All of Silly’s tentacles straightened, and its body became stiff, causing it to fall onto the floor. It whispered faintly, “What a big fish…”
“Dumby is a ghoul type, and he has a close range fighting style. How are you planning on developing Stripey?”
“Our team’s formation still needs someone in the center position,” Gao Peng said without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Stripey would become more and more resistant to attacks as it evolved. Nowadays, it was hard to tell if Stripey was a spider based on its outer appearance. It looked more like a giant crab.
Stripey could also shoot out spider webs. In the last few battles, Stripey had been able to make good use of its spider webs. Most of its enemies’ movements were greatly limited after they were hit by Stripey’s webs.
“It’s a tank that has the ability to limit other’s fighting capabilities.” Ji Hanwu nodded.
Gao Peng was weirded out after hearing his grandpa use internet terminology so effortlessly.
“We need to train its control and counter-attack abilities. White Dragon, go and train with Dumby.”
The White Aquatic Dragon in the sky glanced disdainfully at the guys on the ground. However, it was an order from its master, so it would have to comply.
Ji Hanwu glanced over at Silly, not paying any attention to it.
Ji Hanwu naturally knew of Flamy’s abilities. He was silent for a while and then said, “Flamy, go and train with Da Zi. Although the Thunder God Snail is a water and electric type, you both are both elemental types, so there are a lot of similarities.”
After Ji Hanwu finished giving out the tasks, Flamy dilly-dallied over towards the Thunder God Snail.
On the other side, the White Aquatic Dragon had also begun training.
Dumby didn’t feel any fear, since he didn’t know what fear was. He growled fiercely at the White Aquatic Dragon in the sky.
The White Aquatic Dragon yawned lazily. It whipped its tail, its shadow moving quickly over the ground. The whip created level eight wind speeds.
Dumby quickly fell onto the ground. His body smashed on the grass by the lakeside, and the ground shook furiously.
Stripey blinked twice, synchronized with the shaking. It swallowed its saliva and used its claws to dig at the ground furiously. It was able to use an earth type ability without having actually learned it. The ground beneath it became soft, and Stripey was able to quickly dig a hole to hide in.
The White Aquatic Dragon used its claws to dig Stripey out. It was able to accurately dig at the place where Stripey was located. It tossed Stripey aside so hard that Stripey rolled over seven or eight times when it hit the ground.
Stripey became agitated. It thought, I’ve been patient, why do you need to force me?
Stripey lifted its claws towards the White Aquatic Dragon. Rows of sharp spider claws grasped the ground, the two claws in front smashing into the ground. Using the force of the rebound, it flew into the air. Stripey’s blood red eyes flickered. The fierceness within me has been thoroughly stimulated. Under such circumstances, even if I get hurt—
Bang!
A flick from the White Aquatic Dragon’s claws hit Stripey square on the forehead. Stripey was knocked to the ground by the strong force.
In the air, the White Aquatic Dragon’s three claws still maintained their shape after the flick.
On the ground, Stripey slowly got up. I don’t want to train anymore. I’m going to go home and sleep.
While the White Aquatic Dragon had flicked Stripey in the head, Dumby had taken the opportunity to jump towards it. He had lifted both his fists and thrown them towards the White Aquatic Dragon like missiles. They had landed underneath the dragon’s abdomen. When both fists had landed, it made a sound that sounded like metal clashing.
Dumby felt like he had just punched a sheet of metal. The rebounding force from the punch came back towards Dumby and pushed him into the air. The White Aquatic Dragon had a look of astonishment on its face. It had actually been hit.
The area where its abdomen had been struck showed two white marks from the fists. After it breathed a few times, the white marks disappeared.
The flames in his eyes lit up. If he was able to hit his target, it meant he had done well! He lifted his fists, ready to battle.
In the distance, a small red jellyfish hung on a tree branch, its watery eyes staring at Dumby. It muttered, “Dad, daddy, so powerful!”
