Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

Chapter 148 - 147: Win

That weekend, Gu Ming went with Lu You to his old home once again for Pet Beast training.

Not long after they arrived, Gu Ming was watching the Pet Beasts training in the field when his grandfather came over, took him by the arm, and said:

"Don’t be in a rush with that business partnership. Let me, your grandpa, find a few old contacts and bring them all to the negotiating table. That’s the only way we’ll get a good price."

Hearing his grandfather’s words, Gu Ming nodded.

He had also looked into it online. The profit-sharing split the Ruan Family had offered was on the high side and certainly looked very tempting.

But that was all secondary. The main reason for his caution was the system’s prompt, which made him feel it was best to be careful.

Besides, if one family was willing to offer a seventy-thirty split, it was very likely other investors would be willing to offer the same price.

While he felt a little bad for Manager Ruan, business was business. You couldn’t let personal feelings get in the way.

However, Gu Ming’s attention was soon diverted.

Just then, he heard the cry of an ape from the woods.

The Black and White Long-Armed Ape appeared, beating its chest. It swept into the field like a gale, stirring up a gust of wind.

The expressions of Teacher Zhang and the others from the Gu Family changed in unison. They all adopted cautious stances, pulling Gu Ming back a step while commanding their Pet Beasts to advance and fight.

Gu Ming watched them put on their act. His eyes darted about, but he didn’t expose their charade.

’In his dreams, Cyan Treasure has already fought the Black and White Long-Armed Ape countless times. As long as the ape is truly holding back and fighting at Cyan Treasure’s level, there’s no way it can win—not unless it unleashes power far beyond that of a One-star Pet Beast.’

At that moment, Cyan Treasure used its Shaking Body Technique to easily dodge the Black and White Long-Armed Ape’s descending fist. It moved at high speed across the field, weaving around its opponent for more than ten seconds like a slippery loach, never letting the ape land a single blow.

By now, Cyan Treasure had led the ape to a spot over forty meters away, with Mouse Treasure positioned at the diagonally opposite corner.

Cyan Treasure immediately feinted, tricking the ape into attacking. As it did, Cyan Treasure circled behind it and spat out a venomous Storm Ball.

BOOM! The attack slammed into the ape’s body, and a blast of purple-cyan wind and fluid erupted across its back.

At the same time, Cyan Treasure used the thrust from launching the Storm Ball to ride the wind several meters backward. It bounced upon landing and immediately fired another fully charged Storm Ball.

Meanwhile, Mouse Treasure used its Earth Shifting Technique to manipulate the soil beneath the Black and White Long-Armed Ape’s feet, trapping them and preventing it from dodging.

The Black and White Long-Armed Ape was indeed unable to defend itself and took a direct hit from the Storm Ball.

The potent snake venom seeped through the pores of its skin, instantly paralyzing its surface muscles.

The Black and White Long-Armed Ape staggered forward, but it quickly tensed its thigh muscles and planted its feet firmly on the ground.

The soil beneath it once again solidified into large hands that gripped its feet, sinking them into the earth.

Enraged, the Black and White Long-Armed Ape forcefully yanked its feet free. But as it turned, it was struck by Cyan Treasure’s second Storm Ball.

This time it was a frontal hit, and the venom seeped in from both sides of its body.

At that moment, Cyan Treasure opened its mouth. The Grass Light Spiritual Root inside it began to glow, sinking roots into the earth. Using the Earth Shifting Technique, it rapidly channeled Life Power to its mouth, forming a laser.

BZZZZZ.

The Entry Level Plant Life Light Wave shot out in a straight line, slamming into the ape with ferocious killing intent.

This fluid little combo—two Storm Balls and one laser blast—was executed in just a few seconds, leaving the Black and White Long-Armed Ape completely overwhelmed.

Furthermore, its body was slightly paralyzed, rendering it temporarily unable to dodge the follow-up attacks.

Mouse Treasure’s Earth Shifting Technique remained active the entire time, once again pulling the ape down into the soil. It constantly restricted its opponent’s feet, making it incredibly difficult to move.

As a result, the Black and White Long-Armed Ape had to tank the Life Light Wave head-on for several seconds.

Under the effect of the powerful Life Catalyst, the Life Energy in the Black and White Long-Armed Ape’s body was violently disrupted. More importantly, the snake venom within it erupted, the purple fluid mixing with its blood and spreading rapidly throughout its body, even reaching its meridians.

It subconsciously sensed the danger. ’If I keep taking this,’ it thought, ’the poison will completely overwhelm me. No joke!’

’This laser is poisonous!’

The hair on the Black and White Long-Armed Ape’s body stood on end. With a roar, its body seemed to be unleashed as irrepressible energy surged forth from within.

Its afflicted, purple muscles, which had been weak and listless, were suddenly re-energized, surging with a vitality that far surpassed the Power of a Zero-star, or even a One-star, Monkey Pet Beast.

As if its potential had been unlocked by a furious rage, the Black and White Long-Armed Ape forcibly tore its legs from the ground and charged forward through the laser beam, rushing straight for Cyan Treasure.

Cyan Treasure snapped its mouth shut, cutting off the laser. Its body shot away like a pellet from a slingshot, covering ten meters in a single leap.

It dodged to the side, periodically using Storm Balls to kite its opponent, not letting the Black and White Long-Armed Ape get near it at all.

Mouse Treasure provided support from the sidelines the entire time, using the Earth Shifting Technique to interfere with the ape and disrupt its footing.

The Black and White Long-Armed Ape was starting to seem invincible. It quickly realized it was using too much force and reined in its power, allowing its muscle strength to return to its suppressed level.

But the moment it re-suppressed its power, the venom that had been catalyzed to its absolute limit by the laser—already on the verge of running rampant—flared up throughout its entire body.

In the very next second, its thighs stiffened, completely losing all Power. It tripped and fell flat on the ground.

The Black and White Long-Armed Ape felt utterly humiliated.
