The originally silver-white cat eyes now emitted a faint golden glow, and a
Its claws became incredibly sharp, leaving scratches on the marble floor. With a sudden leap, it effortlessly touched the ceiling of the training room, which was ten meters high.
Kent was thrilled upon seeing this, immediately connecting to the system to check its stats.
Garfield.
Beast Name: Golden Cat KingBeast Rank: Upper GoldBeast Level: 10Beast Age: 2 yearsExperience Bar: 83250/4000
It turns out Garfield was originally a level 10 Silver Beast, and now, at the Golden rank, it needed 4000 experience to reach level 11.
Kent thought for a moment, unsure whether this was a gain or a loss.
Looking further:
Combat Power: 149Abilities:High Jump (easily leaps to high places)Rending (can easily tear through hard materials)Super Disguise (can disguise and transform at will)Fatal Critical Strike (consumes a large amount of potential, triggers a fatal blow with three times damage boost)
"If I activate a Fatal Critical Strike, its combat power would definitely surpass 300," Kent thought with excitement. He estimated that no other student's beast at Saint Stone High could have such combat power.
Except for Zhao Mengxi, of course—her Space Blaze Beast was already level 20, and the level difference was just too big.
Kent then decided to level up Garfield.
Ding!
Prompt: Consuming 4000 experience points, Garfield has reached Gold Level 11.
Ding!
Prompt: Consuming 4500 experience points, Garfield has reached Gold Level 12.
Ding!
Prompt: Garfield has recently undergone too many breakthroughs with excessive intensity, resulting in both physical and mental exhaustion. It is on the verge of collapse and almost going mad. Please give it enough time to recover and consolidate its realm.
Kent was stunned. "What? Is this guy not happy?" he thought. "Unbelievable!"
But then he realized that he might have pushed it too hard. Even with the system's help, he shouldn't be so reckless in helping Garfield level up. Not only was the physical strain high, but perhaps its fragile psyche was also deeply affected.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time," Kent muttered, patting his hands. He ignored Garfield's tearful eyes and ordered, "Super Disguise."
In the next moment, the Golden Cat King transformed back into its Silver Beast form, a chubby 80 cm long cat, wagging its tail and trotting over.
Kent comforted it for a while, but time was of the essence, so he started training himself.
Days passed.
Kent's physical strength continuously improved. With a slight twist of his body, his joints made cracking sounds like frying beans. After taking the drugs, his muscles grew tight and firm. Without sharing his beast's abilities, he could now break a brick with a single punch.
However, that still wasn't enough.
After finishing all the auxiliary potions, Kent took out the expensive Gene Perfection Serum.
He took a deep breath, lay down on his bed, and swallowed it.
Soon, every inch of his skin, every tissue, and even every hair follicle felt a strong tingling sensation.
His skin turned bright red, and waves of heat poured out…
The next day, Kent woke up and looked at himself in the full-length mirror. He was stunned.
"Perfect. How can I be this handsome?"
In the mirror, his figure looked a bit unfamiliar. Overnight, his height had increased by nearly 10 cm, now standing at 1.76 meters. His messy hair was dark and shiny, full of vitality. His body, once a bit lean, was now more balanced, and even though his eyes seemed lackluster, there was a faint gleam in them.
His previously ordinary face had also changed. He was now more handsome—perhaps 60-70% more, but definitely more attractive. The more he looked, the more he liked it...
After a while, Kent snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but slap himself.
"Damn it, I've seen narcissistic people, but never like this. If I don't snap you out of it now, you'll never stop."
...
"The Earthstar Beast Master Tournament's preliminary round is starting soon. I'm so nervous!"
As Kent walked to school, he overheard several students discussing the Beast Master Tournament. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but after hearing it repeatedly, he suddenly felt a little anxious.
Is this what they mean by "the more you hear, the more you feel uneasy"?
Kent laughed it off. The handsome him was followed by a chubby, embarrassed-looking cat, attracting a lot of attention.
"Look, that's Kent, the one who defeated Zhao Xuan in seconds," some boys whispered. "This guy is amazing—strong and fearless. He doesn't even seem to care about Zhao Xuan's revenge. He's getting bolder and bolder lately."
"Wow, what a handsome guy, and he's got this cute, silly, chubby cat with him. I wish I could cuddle it to sleep tonight," a group of girls sighed.
Kent raised an eyebrow and smiled, standing even taller.
"Hey, kid, stop right there."
A group of thugs blocked the road about 100 meters away from the school. Among them was Zhao Xuan.
"Are you calling me?" Kent glanced at the group indifferently and raised an eyebrow. "Zhao Xuan, I didn't think you'd hold a grudge for over half a month before finally taking action. I'm impressed. Didn't you hear the saying, 'Don't let grudges last overnight'?"
Zhao Xuan felt embarrassed and furious. "Kent, a few days without seeing you, not only has your mouth gotten sharper, but you're looking more and more like a big shot. I was thinking of letting you off, but you still haven't learned your lesson. You've been so arrogant, parading around the school. You make me sick just looking at you. So now, don't blame me for what happens next."
"Heh, too much praise. So being handsome is now a crime?" Kent muttered to himself and laughed. "Zhao Xuan, I didn't expect you to have such eloquence after a few days. But since you're so stubborn, I'll make sure you're convinced after I beat you."
"Stop talking, let's take him down together. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance."
Kent, enhanced by the system, was now much stronger. He wasn't afraid of these punks.
"Kid, you're really looking for death," a young man with green hair charged forward.
"Quit talking. This kid's clearly asking for it. Let's take him down together and fulfill his wish," another burly youth said, stepping forward to grab Kent like a child.
In an instant, more than a dozen thugs lunged at Kent. They didn't use their beasts, but they shared the abilities of their beasts—some had claws as sharp as blades, others had fists like iron, and some had legs as thick as elephant trunks, shaking the ground with every step.
Zhao Xuan sneered from the side.
Though he wanted to beat Kent up badly, he was afraid of the consequences of a group fight. He didn't want to risk getting involved in something that would add fuel to his reputation for bullying others. If it went badly, not only would he face punishment at school, but his classmates would also avoid him like the plague.
This was the last thing he wanted.
The commotion quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, especially students from Saint Stone Third High. Within half a minute, over a hundred students had gathered.
"Look at these punks! They're bullying our Saint Stone Third High student. And they're ten against one. This is really too much."
"Someone go help Kent. He's so handsome and doesn't back down. It'd be such a waste if he gets hurt."
"Kent really doesn't know his place. He's got a big mouth and keeps provoking others. He brought this on himself. If he dies, he deserves it."
"..."
A wave of heated discussions followed, and as expected, everyone was eager to watch the drama unfold.
