Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 303 – Tiange Academy

Is this legendary dragon blood?

This was Gao Peng’s first thought after his hands were frozen.

But this blood is really, really cold. It is after all an Emperor-tier familiar… This was Gao Peng’s second thought.

The White Dragon’s wounds started to heal inwardly. The flesh on both sides of the scratched muscle moved toward each other and, relying on the strong muscles, they were forcefully sealed together.

The muscles that had forcefully met kept rubbing against each other, and strips of new flesh started to grow and form… The wound healed completely within ten minutes. The only thing that could be seen was a shallow scratch on the surface.

The bucket of blood was as heavy as mercury and much heavier than water. When Gao Peng lifted the bucket, there wasn’t even the tiniest bit of a tremble on the surface. It was calm even though there was shaking. It remained as smooth as a mirror.

Is this really blood? Gao Peng was stunned.

Gao Peng happily left the side of the lake with the bucket of blood, and the White Dragon turned around and returned to the lake.

The Primitive Jade Armored Crocodile looked over suspiciously from a nearby puddle. From its understanding, the White Dragon was very strong, the most powerful monster it had ever seen. That was the reason why it had been willing to become Ji Hanwu’s familiar.

The weak had to yield to the strong. This was in its nature.

The only thing that confused it was why such a powerful White Dragon would give its blood to a weak human.

It was too weird.

It just couldn’t figure out the answer to this question, even after thinking about it for a while. As it continued to mutter to itself while laying in the puddle, enjoying the cooling water and the surrounding heat, it didn’t take long for it to fall asleep.

Gao Peng returned to the laboratory and continued with his experiment. Half an hour later, the experiment was finished.

The Treasure Sniffing Rodent’s appearance had changed completely, though its name was still the same. This meant that it hadn’t evolved into another creature, but its grade had gone from Excellent to Perfect.

Its color also went from yellow to a light yellow, including shades of white.

Its eyes became smaller, shrinking from the size of soybeans to the size of green beans. A few black whiskers hung on both sides of its nose.

It went up two grades in a row. Its treasure sensing ability should’ve improved significantly, right?

Gao Peng took an Elite-tier monster core crystal and circled it front of the Treasure Sniffing Rodent. Its reaction was very tame. It just looked at it in disinterest.

Huh! This fella.

Gao Peng felt amused. Before its grade had been promoted, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent would become extremely excited when it saw an Elite-tier monster core crystal.

But now, it had learned to act cold and condescending.

“Do you want to take a look? You really don’t want to take a look?” Gao Peng placed the core crystal right beneath the Treasure Sniffing Rodent’s nose.

The Treasure Sniffing Rodent took a breath and placed its right claw on Gao Peng’s finger, then bit down on the core crystal reluctantly.

Actually, I really don’t want to eat it… The Treasure Sniffing Rodent lifted up its eyes. Why is Master not letting go?

“I only asked you if you wanted to take a look at it, not eat it,” Gao Peng said seriously.

The Treasure Sniffing Rodent was blank.

Its claw held on very tightly, not willing to let go. However, Gao Peng pulled it away forcefully.

Gao Peng set aside the Elite-tier monster core crystal and took out a Commander-tier monster core crystal.

This time, there was a slight reaction in the Treasure Sniffing Rodent’s face. Its tiny eyes kept staring at the Commander-tier monster core crystal in Gao Peng’s hand. However, when it remembered how Gao Peng had treated it just now, its expression turned dark. It turned its head around and stopped looking at the core crystal.

It seems that the Commander-tier core crystal can only attract the Treasure Sniffing Rodent’s attention, but is unable to excite it.

Gao Peng thought for a while. At least I now have a yardstick.

Not bad. Moreover, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent will reach the Commander tier soon. Once it reaches the Commander tier, its ability will improve by quite a bit.

I won’t ever have to experience another unfortunate situation where I spend half a day searching tirelessly in the forest only to find a readily available material that costs ten measly Alliance credits.

…

After he finished with the Treasure Sniffing Rodent’s evolution, Gao Peng lifted his head to look at the clock. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon.

He suddenly remembered that Huang Ya’s school day was already over. The school was already preparing matters related to recruitment. Huang Ya had even asked him at noon if Gao Peng would be able to attend the opening ceremony of the school.

Of course, he had to attend the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony was the next day at ten o’clock in the morning. Gao Peng was preparing to go to the school.

It wasn’t far from the Southern Sky Group. Because of special circumstances, the school had been built in the middle of a mountain in the suburbs.

The inside was spacious, while the building was simple. In front of the school’s main entrance, there was a round stage that was three stories high, and in front of the podium was a big incense bowl. There was dirt in the incense bowl so that people could light their incense sticks.

The stage was reserved for the Guan Yu Statue.

After spending a period of time with Stripey, the Guan Yu Statue had gradually gotten used to life at the Southern Sky Group.

Thus, Gao Peng wanted to ask the Guan Yu Statue to become the gatekeeper of the school, although the Southern Sky Group didn’t need a gatekeeper there. As far as the monsters of the world were concerned, the entrance to the Southern Sky Group’s headquarters was the gate to a cave full of tigers and dragons.

Although this suburb had been cleared before, low-level monsters would still sometimes appear. If the Guan Yu Statue was present, it would be able to protect the school.

Gao Peng went around to the dorm, cafeteria, gym, field, classrooms, and offices to take a look. He was satisfied with what he saw.

This school had been hastily built in two months. It was unrealistic to expect it to look exquisite, but there were no problems with the quality. Gao Peng’s impression of it was that it was clean and simple.

There were already students living in the dormitories. There were three types of students at the school.

The first kind were orphans who had lost their parents and were living hard lives alone. The second were students who had been recommended because of the cooperation between the school and the orphanage. Of course, it wasn’t compulsory. The last kind were the children of Southern Sky Group employees.

The school utilized a full-time boarding school model. They would have a field trip once a month. At the same time, the students could freely choose to work part-time at any of the factories and departments under the Southern Sky Group during the winter and summer holidays. Those who didn’t have homes to return to could stay at the school during the winter and summer holidays, as well. The school wouldn’t arrange for classes during those times, but it would offer many interesting extracurricular activities.

The school was a combination of middle and high school, since it had both. Once students graduated, they would be able to sign a Blood Contract to become a monster trainer straightaway.

An elementary school was also planned, but it was still in the midst of construction. Moreover, it wouldn’t be combined with the school for middle and high school students; it would be independent.

On the second day, Gao Peng stood on Tiange Academy’s stage and gave a speech wearing a brown suit and a bow tie. His hairstyle was that of an adult, and his face was solemn and serious, so he looked very stern.

Gao Peng, dressed up this way, no longer looked young. He looked like he was around 26 or 27 years old.

“Greetings, everyone. I am your principal, Gao Peng. You can call me Principal Gao. Today is the day we found Tiange Academy. This is a very special day, one worth remembering. I believe that many years in the future, you’ll feel very proud of the fact that you were once a student at Tiange Academy…” Gao Peng had prepared a 30,000-word long script for his speech.

Gao Peng read the script word by word. It took him an hour to read out the whole thing.

“…So I want to welcome all of you! We’ll definitely start a new era!”

Clap, clap, clap! Loud applause rang out.

The new students who had been standing below the platform under the sun for an hour clapped loudly.

Gao Peng smiled. He turned around and said to Huang Ya, “These students are good young pupils! So enthusiastic! So positive! So generous! Most importantly, they understand gratitude.”

Who knew that being loved by students was such a happy feeling? Gao Peng licked his somewhat dried out lips, feeling like he hadn’t said enough.

Forget it. I’ll continue next time.

“Okay, my speech ends here. We will now welcome Dean Huang Ya to say a few words!” Gao Peng laughed heartily and gave way for Huang Ya to step forward.

The applause of the new students below the platform became slower and slower, softer and softer. They looked dumbfoundedly at the thick script in Huang Ya’s hands as he walked towards the microphone…
