Just before, Aina Saffa had rushed down the teaching building to deliver Ethen Cole's ID card and happened to see him directing his Blux pet in a battle against Aniqi Lex and his gang.
She had heard from other classmates about the conflict between Aniqi Lex and Ethen Cole and was very unhappy with Aniqi Lex's bullying tactics.
As an observer, Aina Saffa was shocked by the strength of the Blux pet.
As a college student with quite a bit of knowledge about battle pets, she recognized the Blux pet as a rare Emerald Eyed Riolux.
Immediately, Aina Saffa became interested and wanted to ask Ethen Cole how he had raised such a powerful Emerald Eyed Riolux.
But her goodwill was ruthlessly rejected by Ethen Cole.
"Beep beep..."
Taking out her phone, Aina Saffa dialed her third uncle, Alan Saffa's number.
Alan Saffa is the chief director of the school board and the major shareholder of Hilltop High School.
"Hey, Third Uncle. Haven't you always been complaining about the lack of genius students at Hilltop High School? Well, today I've discovered a genius. Would you like to hear about it?"
Aina Saffa reported to Alan Saffa.
"Haha, Aina Saffa. You found a genius student on your first day at work? Not bad, not bad. I'm curious, who is it?"
On the other end of the phone, Alan Saffa laughed heartily.
"It's Ethen Cole, the Ethen Cole you recently expelled!"
"What?"
Alan Saffa was incredulous.
...
Ethen Cole had just given Aniqi Lex a beating, venting his anger.
Walking on his way home, he was in a good mood, continually stroking the Blux pet in his arms.
"Ding! The host's awakening system has been active for over 20 hours. The system issues its first task: [Within 24 hours, the Emerald eyed Riolux must kill a magical beast]. After completing the first kill task, you will receive a growth pill as a reward."
The system's notification sound rang out.
Ethen Cole was taken aback, not expecting that this [Battle Pet System] also had a task feature.
Overjoyed, he immediately accepted the Emerald eyed Riolux's task to kill a magical beast.
After quickly eating a few bites at home, Ethen Cole took Blux and headed to the [Forest No. 5] at the edge of the base.
At the edge of Hilltop Base, there were many patches of forest, home to numerous wild magical beasts.
Most of the magical beasts in Forest No. 5 were of low level, making it a favored training area for Black Iron tier battle pet masters.
Looking at the sign at the forest entrance that read [No entry for battle pets below Black Iron Level 2], Ethen Cole smiled slightly and entered Forest No. 5 with Blux.
As a Black Iron Level 5 battle pet master, he had no fear of the wild magical beasts that might appear inside Forest No. 5.
Once inside, Ethen Cole hadn't gone far when he encountered the first wave of wild magical beasts, a tribe of Spirit Fruit Rat.
There were more than twenty Spirit Fruit Rat, both large and small. Among them, the King of the Spirit Fruit Rat had a strength of Black Iron Level Three, while the rest of the ordinary Spirit Fruit Rat were at Black Iron Level Two. These Spirit Fruit Rat lived by stealing spirit fruits from the forest, with sharp teeth and a knack for fighting.
As soon as Ethen Cole appeared in their territory, he immediately caught the attention of this group of Spirit Fruit Rat.
"Fight, Blux!"
There's no more suitable opponent for a first fight than the weakest beast Rat. Ethen Cole promptly issued a battle command to Blux. Upon seeing this group of Spirit Fruit Rat, Blux's fighting spirit soared. In a flash, it darted out of Ethen Cole's arms.
Seeing that the attacker was a small Riolux, the Spirit Fruit Rat became inflamed with arrogance.
"This damn Riolux thinks we're ordinary Rat? How infuriating! Children, attack! Make sure this Riolux doesn't come back!"
With a sharp squeak, the Black Iron Level Three Spirit Fruit Rat King led the charge of more than twenty Spirit Fruit Rat, launching a collective attack on Blux.
Because the Emerald Eyed Riolux looks very similar to a Blue Riolux in appearance, the Spirit Fruit Rat tribe mistook Blux for an ordinary Blue Riolux. Naturally, they underestimated a creature of Black Iron Level One, even if it was a Riolux!
Chittering and squeaking, the Spirit Fruit Rat rapidly charged forward, attempting to surround Blux.
The individual combat strength of the Spirit Fruit Rat is average, but they excel in group attacks. Facing such a swarm of Spirit Fruit Rat, even a battle pet at Black Iron Level Four would be cautious. However, Blux is not Black Iron Level Four but Black Iron Level Five!
Rio! An invigorating Riolux's cry echoed.
Blux suddenly appeared in front of the fastest Spirit Fruit Rat and struck it down with a single paw. It effortlessly accomplished its first kill of a magical beast.
"Ding! First kill mission completed. A Growth Pill has been awarded and placed in the system space."
The system's notification almost made Ethen Cole jump with excitement. Another Growth Pill! He believed that if Blux consumed this Growth Pill, its strength would significantly increase.
On the battlefield, Blux continuously moved with lightning speed, dodging and attacking. With each strike, a Spirit Fruit Rat was slain. Ultimately, Blux cleanly and swiftly wiped out the entire Spirit Fruit Rat tribe. Even the Black Iron Level Three Spirit Fruit Rat King was no match for Blux, who crushed its head with a single blow.
In this battle, not only did Blux achieve its first career kill, but it also annihilated the entire Spirit Fruit Rat tribe.
"Blux, well done!"
Ethen Cole cheered happily and immediately went to inspect the corpses of the Spirit Fruit Rat, hoping to find any dropped magical beast cores. Magical beast cores are the energy crystals of magical beasts and have a wide range of uses.
