Chapter 6: Shiny Demonic Pet?

Zhang Qing smiled at Du Yu. “Although you can only sign a contract with fire-type demon pets, you don’t have to worry. There are many half-fire demon pets in the world that can make up for your lack of other elements.
However, the demon pets prepared by the academy for newbies were all of one element.
The fire demon pets were Little Orange Pig and Little Fire Fox.
In addition, you need to know that demon pets are freely distributed by the Demon Academy. If you take them, it means that you have to sign an agreement with the school and have to participate in training and assessment.”
Du Yu said, “I understand.”
Zhang Qing gestured at the sleeping little orange pig in Du Yu’s hand. “Little orange pig, a strength-type demon pet. It’s good at close combat and aggressive attacks. Very powerful when properly raised.”
She then pointed to the small fire fox on the right side of the wooden box. “Small fire fox, an agile demon pet. It’s good at kiting enemies and escaping from combat.
You can choose the right partner depending on your preference.”
Compared to the carefree and sleeping little orange pigs, the group of little fire foxes beside them were more alert.
They all stared at Zhang Qing’s fingers, and many bared their teeth. Their fierce looks seemed to be unwilling to let anyone touch them.
Du Yu reached over and gently pushed aside the group of small fire foxes.
Good lord, there were 50 to 60 of them!
Interestingly, the fire foxes were only the size of his palm, but their tails were actually bigger and longer than their bodies?
How to describe the shape of the big tail… thin at the ends, thick in the middle, like a football.
Perhaps because they had just been born, the little fire foxes were still unable to raise their tails. Therefore, when they tried to escape, their tails dragged on the ground and they swayed as they crawled.
How adorable!
“Don’t worry and choose!” Looking at the hesitant Du Yu, Zhang Qing said at the right time, “These demon pets were carefully selected by the school. Their aptitude is all top-notch, so there’s not much difference.”
“Yes, yes, okay.” Du Yu nodded repeatedly and looked at the rows of sleeping orange pigs.
“Not right~”
“Huh?” Hearing the soft words in his mind, Du Yu hurriedly communicated in his mind. “Little Scorcher, what are you saying is wrong?”
Little Scorcher said, “That person, wrong ~ There’s one, that’s red.”
‘Red?’
Du Yu was puzzled. Both Little Orange Pig and Little Fire Fox were orange. How could there be red?
“Look~ Lower right.”
Du Yu shifted his gaze. Under his extremely meticulous observation, he even felt that his eyes were slightly hot.
And in the stack of little fire foxes in the bottom right-hand corner, there was actually a tiny red fuzz growing out of one of the big tails.
Du’s eyes narrowed. He carefully picked up the big tail and picked up the little firefox.
The upside-down firefox wriggled its furry head and bared its teeth at Du.
Such a small thing has such a big temper?
Du Yu put a finger directly into its mouth.
“Oook?” Little Fox was clearly stunned. Its mouth was forced to close.
“Combobreaker”
The little fellow seemed to have a switch turned on. After being stunned for a while, its little claws actually hugged Du Yu’s fingers and greedily sucked them?
Du Yu remained calm on the surface and observed carefully for a moment. He could not help but feel tempted!
The colors are different!
A shiny Pokemon?
If not for the “Scorching Solar Vision”, who would have discovered this?
As long as there were enough individuals within a species, special ones would always appear. Compared to ordinary demon pets, the growth potential of a shiny one would be higher!
However, it was obvious that the little fire fox in Du Yu’s hand was not as good.
The shiny demon pets were all favored by the heavens. Ever since they were born in their mothers’ wombs and eggshells, they had displayed their uniqueness to the world.
As for the little fire fox in Du Yu’s hand, it was more like the kind that had failed to “ascend” and became like any other one.
‘So what?’
Even so, it was more explosive than other normal-colored Little Firefox talents! Perhaps it could turn red again after careful nurturing?
“Boohoo!” Little Fox’s furry little head twisted as if he wasn’t very happy about it.
After all, it had been sucking for a long time without any results…
“This one.” Du Yu looked up at Zhang Qing.
Looking at Du Yu’s unusual feeding scene, Zhang Qing smiled. “For newborn demon beasts, the most suitable place to recuperate is in the bodies of human demon tamers.
Inside your body, Little Fox will be safer and will always be nourished by your fire-attributed body, speeding up the growth of both of you.”
“Yes.” Du Yu nodded thoughtfully, thinking of Little Scorcher in his body.
Then again, little Scorcher should also be in her young form, right? Did she have the ability to rise from the ashes?
Otherwise, would an ancient Demon with extraordinary abilities be so small?
He would have to ask her properly when he got back.
Zhang Qing: “When you receive training tomorrow, a teacher will teach you how to sign a contract with a demon pet. What you have to do now is to protect it and avoid any accidents.”
“Okay.” Du Yu nodded eagerly.
Zhang Qing’s expression turned serious as she said, “If something happens to Little Fox, it will be very disadvantageous for your entrance examination. You will probably be held responsible.”
As she spoke, Zhang Qing leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice. “You have to pay.”
Pay?
The way the Demon Academy earned money was quite wild.
For a moment, Du Yu nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice. “I’ll definitely take good care of it.”
Looking at the obedient child, Zhang Qing nodded in satisfaction. “Very good, let’s choose a Demon Weapon now.”
Protecting your demon pets isn’t just about taking care of your life. Since you’re on the path to becoming a demon tamer, it means keeping danger company.”
With that, Zhang Qing turned slightly and gestured to the weapon hanging on the wooden board behind her. “What weapon did you practice in school?”
This was a special product of the Otherworld.
Even though Du Yu was studying in an ordinary school, the school had always provided martial arts courses since he was young.
Adolescent children could awaken at any time. Such martial arts classes were prepared for children to become demon controllers.
Du Yu was a beneficiary!
If the school had not forcefully arranged martial arts lessons, would the original owner Du Yu have taken time out of his busy cultural studies to specially train his skills?
He, who had only awakened at the age of 17, had suddenly transformed from an ordinary person into a demon tamer. If he directly went to the wild to train, he might not have any ability to protect himself.
“Bow and arrow,” Du said, according to the memory in his mind.
Zhang Qing asked, “What else?”
Du scratched his head and smiled foolishly. “Only bows and arrows. I’ve had a dream about bows and arrows since I was a child.”
“Heh.” Zhang Qing smiled and rolled her eyes. Horse manure!’
Wasn’t it because the archery class was relatively safe and there was no need for close combat during the graduation examination?
Zhang Qing saw through it but did not say anything. She pointed at a black bow on the wooden board. “You have a single pure fire element. As for a bow and arrow, there’s no other choice.”
“Okay, thank you, Teacher,” Du Yu said, but his thoughts were also active.
The original owner of this body chose the bow and arrow. It was really… right!
If one could fire secretly from afar, who would be willing to go head-on?
Letting other people do all the hard work is great!
Furthermore, with Little Scorcher’s help, I had obtained some of the functions and excellent vision of the “Scorching Solar Vision”. It was a perfect match for a bow and arrow!
Wonderful, wonderful ~!
“Fire-type demon weapon, named Blackwood.”
Zhang Qing took off the black wooden bow and handed it to Du Yu. “It was made by a professional teacher from the Demon breath Academy. It can nourish your body and assist your growth.”
“Okay.” Du didn’t know where to put Little Fire Fox.
“I’ll get it for you,” came a pleasant voice from beside her. A white, tender palm reached out, and her long fingers playfully plucked at firefox’s large tail.
Li Mengnan carefully took the fox and smiled sweetly at Zhang Qing. “Hello, Teacher. I’m his classmate.”
“Yes.” Zhang Qing nodded slightly and looked at Li Mengnan a few more times.
The girl’s high-spirited, confident, and beautiful appearance was worlds apart from the poor child, Du Yu.
“It’s so obedient.” Li Mengnan held the little fox in her arms, her fingers gently teasing its chin.
When Du Yu had grabbed it earlier, the fox had still been grimacing.
However, in Little Missy’s arms, it actually squinted its eyes in comfort. Its furry little head rubbed against her, as if it liked the soft bed very much…
Du Yu was dumbfounded!
This fox is so good at flirting?
It’s displaying the potential of a harem master at such a young age, and a female one at that!
“Turn around!”
“Ah! Teacher Zhang.” Du Yu hurriedly turned his head.
Zhang Qing looked reproachful and waved the Black Wood Bow in her hand. “A demon tamer can’t release wind, fire, thunder, and lightning on their own. When you’re strong enough, you can borrow the power of your demon pet to use your demon skills. But these are all in the future.
As a novice, demon weapons are your best choice. You can release the fire demon breath in your body through them.”
Du Yu collected himself and took the black wooden bow with both hands.
Whoosh ~
In an instant, a pure demonic breath assaulted his face, and the familiar hot waves filled his body again. Du Yu’s face turned red.
“Heh…” Du Yu heaved a deep sigh of relief. The wooden bow in his hand was black and smooth, emitting a strange luster under the sunlight.
Dark and bright!
“The Demon Weapon Black Wood can guide the fire attribute demon breath in your body and guide them. Get closer to it.”
Zhang Qing looked at Du Yu, who looked like he had obtained a treasure, especially his bright and burning eyes. She couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Those eyes were truly beautiful.
In school, he must have been the heartthrob of many girls.
How could Du Yu know what Teacher Zhang was thinking? He used his muscle memory to draw the bow, and a familiar feeling immediately surged in his heart.
After all, the martial arts class had to take the graduation examination, and the results were included in the total results of the college entrance examination. Therefore, the original owner of the body studied very seriously.
Zhang Qing continued, “As for how to activate the demon weapons and gather the fire arrows, that will have to wait until tomorrow when you receive training… Hmm?”
Zhang Qing couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
Du Yu’s gaze became even more passionate.
Flames suddenly ignited on the pitch-black wooden bow, and a fire arrow gradually gathered on his fingers that were holding the pitch-black string!
His eyes were bright and spirited!
The confidence that Zhang Qing had been thinking about just now was found on Du Yu’s face.
“Lu…”
The rows of sleeping orange pigs in the wooden boxes on the table woke up.
Their short legs clung to the edge of the wooden box as they tried their best to crawl out. They used their noses to arch in Du Yu’s direction and fought to become roasted suckling pigs…
It was obvious that they liked the fiery aura emanating from Du Yu.
Zhang Qing admired him silently for a while before asking, “You’re self-taught and quite talented. By the way, what’s your name?”
Du Yu raised his hand and aimed at the sky. A scorching aura spread out from under his feet. A fire arrow tore through the sky and shot into the sky.
“Du Yu, Yu as in foolish.”
