A wild pet with king-level potential?
How could there be such a high-quality pet in the Lake Forest?
If he remembered correctly, those who could grow to the king level were mostly extremely rare and precious species.
How was that possible!
Su Yi's first reaction was disbelief. He wondered if he had heard wrongly.
One had to know that the search condition he set was "Grandmaster potential and above".
However, after searching for so long, he had not encountered a single extraordinary creature with Grandmaster-level potential. Unexpectedly, a creature with King-level potential had appeared at this moment. No matter how he looked at it, it felt a little unreal!
After double-checking that notification, he finally believed it was all true.
Thinking that he was about to contract a pet with king-level potential, he was so excited that he almost couldn't control his emotions!
"Su Yi, what's wrong? Were you injured just now?"
Zhang Xiaotong noticed that his expression was a little strange and could not help but look at him with concern.
She had a good impression of Su Yi. After spending the past few hours together, Su Yi had become the boy in her class who had the best relationship with her. Coupled with Su Yi's handsome appearance, thoughtful words, and care along the way, it was difficult for her to find a reason to hate him.
"I'm fine. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you properly. If you hadn't pounced on me and grabbed me, I might have been dragged away by the Vampiric Vine."
Su Yi smiled.
"You're exaggerating—"
Zhang Xiaotong blushed at the thought of holding his legs.
"No matter what, I have to thank you. To express my gratitude, I will definitely help you find a Water Spirit with outstanding potential. At the very least, it can grow to the elite level!"
Su Yi said seriously.
Zhang Xiaotong did not think too much about it. Hearing his words, she felt warm inside.
However, Bai Zhining, who was walking in front, couldn't stand it anymore. She said calmly, "Even if you want to make a girl happy, you have to say something practical. There are indeed individuals among the Water Spirits who can grow to the elite level, but do you know how low the probability is? There might not even be one in ten. Many pet appraisal institutions can't determine it accurately."
These words made sense. Su Yi didn't know how to refute for a moment. He couldn't just say that he could see the potential of extraordinary creatures, right?
So he could only smile awkwardly.
When Zhang Xiaotong saw this, she was not angry. Instead, she let her imagination run wild.
Why is Su Yi trying to make me happy? He doesn't seem like the frivolous type.
Maybe… he likes me?
But I'm not very beautiful. I'm much worse than Senior Bai Zhining…
Although Su Yi did not know what she was thinking, he could sense that the atmosphere in the team seemed to have become awkward again.
He had wanted to make the atmosphere better and then take the opportunity to make his request. Now it seemed that he could not create a good atmosphere.
Forget it, if I can't create it, I'll just say it!
He took a deep breath and suddenly coughed lightly. He asked, "Um… Senior Bai, Ms. Zhang, can we change the plan slightly? I have a strong premonition that there seems to be an extraordinary creature that suits me very well four or five kilometers to the right, as if it's my destined pet!"
After saying that, he felt embarrassed by himself.
Destined… Blargh!
But if he didn't say that, he couldn't think of a better reason for his two teammates to accompany him there.
There was an extraordinary creature with king-level potential over there. He wished he could run over immediately!
This sense of urgency was ten times stronger than when he discovered the low-level secret treasure!
However, what surprised him was that Bai Zhining didn't laugh at him after hearing his words. Instead, she looked surprised and subconsciously asked, "A premonition? Have you also awakened a special talent?"
Special talent?
What special talent? I'm not that lucky!
Su Yi knew that she had misunderstood. He was about to shake his head in denial when he thought of something and his eyes lit up.
After activating the system, it was inevitable that he would reveal some unusual aspects in the future. If he used his special talent to explain it, wouldn't it be reasonable?
Thinking of this, he immediately said ambiguously, "I don't know if this is the special talent mentioned in the textbook, but I do have a feeling that there's a rare pet summoning me there. Of course, it might be my imagination, but I still want to confirm it."
Then, he looked at Zhang Xiaotong and continued, "Ms. Zhang, can we go there? After confirming it, I'll accompany you to the lake to look for the Water Spirit. It won't waste much time."
"Of course you can. If you really awaken a special talent, it will be something to be very happy about! And I remember from the textbook that this kind of special talent in premonition is very rare. Congratulations!"
Zhang Xiaotong looked excited and sincerely happy for him.
"Maybe it's just my imagination …"
Seeing that she believed his nonsense so easily, Su Yi felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
"Then let's go to the place you mentioned and confirm it. See if there really is a rare pet there."
Bai Zhining pondered for a moment before agreeing to his suggestion.
Someone who had awakened a special talent was the focus of the country for nurturing. If it was confirmed to be true, she had to report it to the school in time!
Seeing that he had successfully convinced his two teammates, Su Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He suppressed the small trace of guilt in his heart and began to move towards the place indicated by the system.
Five kilometers wasn't actually long, but the three of them walked for a good two hours.
Along the way, not only did they bypass some dangerous swamps and bushes, but they also saw many extraordinary creatures.
These extraordinary creatures were not strong. At least, none of them had reached the elite level. Moreover, their offensive strength was not high, so they did not cause much trouble.
However, it was precisely because these extraordinary creatures were too weak that most of them had no value. Not to mention Su Yi, even Zhang Xiaotong looked down on them.
When the three of them passed through a dense forest again, everything opened up.
There were no thick trees here. Looking up, he saw only low bushes.
The small bushes stood in clusters, their slender stems bristling with sharp thorns.
It was Thorn Grass, one of the most common extraordinary creatures in the world.
Perhaps sensing that three humans had entered this place, the smarter ones quickly burrowed underground and hid.
"Don't tell me these are the rare pets you mentioned?"
Bai Zhining glanced at Su Yi, feeling a little disappointed.
Su Yi was also a little confused. The pet indicated by the system was here. Could it be hidden underground?
He did not believe it and hurriedly checked the attributes of the Thorn Grass.
He froze when he saw an unremarkable Thorn Grass.
