Shiji Garden, initially named Shiji Restaurant, was founded by a legendary Beast Tamer.

It is said that when this legendary Beast Tamer was young, he strayed into a dangerous place and lost contact with the outside world, living alone in the wilderness for several years.

During these years, in order to fill his stomach, he and his pets could only hunt those wild creatures for a living.

Then, they ate wild game for several years.

From transcendent to commander-level creatures, he had eaten them all.

As they ate, this wilderness area was cleared by them while eating and fighting. He successfully returned to human society.

After returning, this Beast Tamer seemed to have opened the door to a new world, summarizing a philosophy of life: "Battle and food go better together." Thus, Shiji Restaurant came into being.

He himself embarked on a path of no return as a gourmet Beast Tamer. In order to taste the flavor of monarch-level or even overlord-level creatures, he began to cultivate diligently. In the end, he inexplicably became a legendary Beast Tamer of the Dong Huang Ancient Kingdom.

"Is this the power of a foodie?"

Shi Yu browsed the online introduction to the origin of Shiji Garden, somewhat shocked.

Good heavens.

That's a bit too inspiring.

He just didn't know if this legendary Beast Tamer finally got to taste the flavor of a dragon...

With a feeling of reverence, Shi Yu arrived at the Ancient Capital branch of Shiji Garden.

The area here is very large, and the entire restaurant is built within a huge garden, capable of accommodating thousands of people.

Before even entering the interior, many people could already be seen. As expected of a legendary Beast Tamer's enterprise, it seemed to be selling very well.

"Welcome, do you have a reservation?"

After Shi Yu entered the garden, a waiter in a tuxedo came up and asked.

"No." Shi Yu simply explained to the waiter that he was here to participate in the activity. The waiter immediately understood and led Shi Yu to a private room for one.

Next, Shi Yu naturally had a big meal, eating very "nourishing" food.

Let's just say, those who know, know.

Unfortunately, this is a restaurant for Beast Tamers and does not provide food for pets. Otherwise, Shi Yu would have even wanted to call Eleven and Buggy out to eat together. Anyway, maybe he could get a free meal later.

Because the ingredients were all transcendent creatures and the taste was too delicious, Shi Yu spent a full 60,000 yuan alone.

Actually, the price was okay. It was even less expensive than a single Divine Bean. However, this was also related to the fact that Divine Beans were not prepared for ordinary professional Beast Tamers. They were standard supplements for master-level Beast Tamers.

Shi Yu might be the first person to dare to eat such nourishing things during the apprenticeship stage without fear of being over-nourished...

After eating a pile of nourishing food, Shi Yu wiped his mouth and fell into contemplation.

Although these nourishing products were processed and some nutrition was sacrificed in pursuit of deliciousness, they didn't seem too bad.

If there were such activities every day, he could come for a meal after each skill point upgrade, and there would be free venues and sparring partners. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"But the problem comes again. Is it safe to let Buggy go? If it loses, that's 60,000 yuan..." Shi Yu was startled.

Buggy's peak combat power is only equivalent to a transcendent-level low-ranking commander species pet cub. There is still some risk.

The examinees who dare to come to this kind of place to eat shouldn't be too weak, right...

Forget it, forget it... It doesn't matter. If Buggy dares to lose, he'll make it work to pay off the debt. Its earning ability is better than Eleven's anyway.

After Shi Yu pressed the service bell, he began to silently wait for the subsequent battle arrangements.

...

At the same time, in another private room.

Two boys of similar age were drinking beverages and waiting.

They were discussing a very important issue.

"Cousin, who will go to the battle later?" asked a young man with a buzz cut.

Shiji Restaurant's activity this time supported multiple examinees dining together. At that time, only one representative needed to be sent out for the battle. Not every diner had to participate in the battle.

The restaurant would match opponents based on the amount of money spent by the customers. In the end, regardless of who won or lost, it could ensure that the restaurant would not lose money.

"We're about the same. Actually, it's the same for anyone. As long as we don't encounter a commander species pet, won't we be invincible?" said the buzz-cut cousin.

In the professional assessment, there are still only a few who can contract a commander species creature cub. They didn't believe they could be so unlucky as to encounter one.

"That's right. Then, I'll go? But if I lose, you can't blame me. We'll split the cost of the meal fifty-fifty," said the buzz-cut cousin.

"Okay, okay, okay." The buzz-cut cousin said, "But you have to be serious. For the professional assessment, I'm a little tight on cash right now... Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to this kind of place to be a gambling dog."

The buzz-cut cousin said, "No big deal, no big deal. I shouldn't lose."

Soon after, a waiter in a tuxedo entered the private room and said to the cousins who were participating in the professional assessment together, "Sorry for the wait, we have already prepared suitable opponents and venues for you."

...

Ordinary restaurants are definitely not qualified to set up battle venues casually. Shiji Garden is considered to be relatively special, after all, the founder is a legendary Beast Tamer.

In the Dong Huang Ancient Kingdom, legendary Beast Tamers are the highest combat power under the national guardians, and they enjoy privileges everywhere.

From chefs to waiters, everyone at Shiji Garden is a Beast Tamer, which is also considered a very special style of restaurant.

Next, the cousins were led by the waiter to a battle arena within the garden. It was very lively at this time. People were battling in every independent arena. It seemed that they were all examinees who came to participate in the professional assessment to get a free meal.

"Is he our opponent?" After the buzz-cut cousins were brought over by the waiter, they saw Shi Yu leaning against the isolation net at the edge of the arena, waiting while playing on his phone.

"Yes," said the waiter.

The buzz-cut cousin stared at Shi Yu, feeling that Shi Yu looked a little familiar.

After a moment, he chuckled.

This chuckle immediately puzzled the waiter, and also puzzled the cousin who was about to go into battle. At the same time, it also attracted Shi Yu's attention.

"What's wrong?" the cousin asked.

"I remembered something happy," the buzz-cut cousin whispered. "This battle, you're guaranteed to win."

He finally remembered why Shi Yu looked familiar.

Back then, when he visited Ancient Capital University, he wanted to find someone to battle with to pass the time. Then, he happened to find Shi Yu in front of him.

However, that battle ultimately failed to materialize. The reason was very simple. Shi Yu was too weak at the time. He said that his pet was only at Awakening Level 9 and had not even reached the Transcendent level. The buzz-cut cousin lost interest upon hearing this and rolled his eyes and left.

What a small world.

Fate is wonderful.

Now, at this time, he likes rookies like Shi Yu very much. After all, he can get a free meal. Three months ago, he was only at Awakening Level 9. Even if Shi Yu rushed to the Transcendent level three months later, how strong could he be?

"This guy's smile is so punchable. Do I know him?"

Shi Yu looked at the two people brought by the waiter, a little confused. He completely forgot that he had met the other party once before.

His brain doesn't remember useless things. It's all filled with pet information and rich women's phone numbers.

"Hey bro!" At this time, the cousin who was encouraged by his cousin came forward and greeted Shi Yu.

His cousin knew him? He had a little more confidence in his heart, and at the same time, he smiled.

"Hello," Shi Yu nodded. Quite enthusiastic?

However, he didn't look very smart and didn't look like a master. Buggy should be fine, right?

"You two, can we start the battle now? The battle rules are one-on-one between pets to determine the winner." At this time, the waiter spoke.

Time is money. They don't have time for guests to chat too much. For this reason, the battle rules here have always been a pet battle to determine the winner. This can avoid many troubles and shorten the battle time.

"Yes," Shi Yu and the buzz-cut cousin said at the same time.

At this time, as Shi Yu and the buzz-cut cousin arrived on both sides of the arena, the waiter also acted as the referee. The buzz-cut cousin, who was watching from the side, stroked his chin.

"Great, I'm saving another sum of money."

Next, in the center of the arena, the waiter referee quickly repeated the rules and then left the arena to the two sides of the battle.

Shi Yu and the boy named Zhao Rui summoned their battle pets at the same time!!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The same gray summoning array meant that both of them were Beast Tamers whose Beast Taming Space had reached Level 2.

In front of Zhao Rui, a huge figure of up to two meters appeared. This figure had a strong brown body, and the body was like entangled giant tree branches, covered with green vines.

Above its body, there were also deep and hollow yellow shining eyes and mouth, marking that it was not as simple as ordinary trees.

[Name]: Treant

[Attribute]: Wood

[Race Level]: High Transcendent

[Race Skills]: Wooden Thorns, Wooden Whip, Absorption, Wooden Shield

This is a common but very powerful plant-type pet.

The hardness of the Treant's branches is harder and stronger than steel bars, and it can be as flexible as hands.

The penetrating power of the wooden thorns can easily penetrate most gold and stone.

Wooden Shield and Absorption, one ensures the Treant's defense, and the other can absorb the opponent's body nutrients to ensure the Treant's endurance!

Like the Skywing, the Treant is one of the few pets with extremely excellent overall qualities in the transcendent race!

Moreover, it is obvious that this Treant's growth level has also reached the transcendent level. Normally speaking, it is very difficult to deal with.

"As long as the opponent is not a fire-type pet, it won't be restrained."

On the arena, after summoning the array, Zhao Rui's gaze was always on what pet Shi Yu summoned.

Then, he fell into deep thought about life.

Not only him, but the waiter referee, and Zhao Rui's cousin, all said "Huh?"

"Ji ji, ji ji!!!"

From Shi Yu's small summoning array, a small caterpillar with a tiny body, a green body, innocent eyes, and two yellow antennae on its head crawled out. It raised its head, looked at the Treant in front of it, and smiled.

It was actually the shame of the pet world, the Green Silkworm!

At this time, Buggy looked at the Treant excitedly. Yay, it restrained the other party!

Birds restrain worms, and worms restrain plants. There's nothing wrong with that!

That being said, Zhao Rui and the Treant had no awareness of being restrained at all and directly cursed in their hearts.

"Are you serious??" Zhao Rui was at a loss.

As expected of my cousin, he didn't lie to me. The opponent doesn't look very smart. This wave is stable.

"Please be serious," Shi Yu said, "You can attack first."

Seeing the opponent look down on Buggy, Shi Yu knew that Buggy's deceptiveness was too strong, even stronger than Eleven's cub form.

There was no way around it...

"Damn," Zhao Rui's cousin was also stunned. Although he thought his cousin was stable, he didn't expect it to be so stable. What was Shi Yu doing, charity?

It's not that he looks down on the Green Silkworm, but at least let the Green Silkworm evolve before coming, even if it's the most basic evolved form, the Wind Crystal Butterfly, he wouldn't have reacted this way.

An awkward cold wind blew... stirring up dust.

"Grab it, be gentle, and throw it out of the arena."

On the arena, Zhao Rui gave the order with a dark expression, and was afraid that the Treant would smash the Green Silkworm into meat paste with a wooden whip.

The order was very gentle, and it couldn't be seen that he was a loving person.

"Ah!!!" The Treant let out a troubled cry, and then a brown branch as thick as an arm stretched out from its body, reaching for the Green Silkworm on the opposite side.

It was a very simple whip attack, but there shouldn't be a problem smashing rocks and steel. It was overkill to deal with the Green Silkworm.

However, facing such an attack, the opposite Buggy showed a dissatisfied expression.

"Ji!" Can you be more serious?

Normally, Buggy, who fought Eleven, who wasn't inferior to a monarch race cub, was obviously dissatisfied with this kind of attack.

Whoosh!

It spat out a crystal-clear white silk thread from its mouth, without even using the spatial properties to make the silk transparent, and directly spat it out.

What was it doing?

The Green Silkworm's actions directly confused everyone. Silk vs wooden whip?

Was it on the same level?

However, before everyone could be confused for too long, in the next second, everyone's expressions directly froze.

The silk thread spat out straight by the Green Silkworm suddenly bent slightly in the middle as it approached the wooden whip swung by the Treant, like a chaotic blade, waving and making several whooshing sounds.

"Ah!!!!" Then, the Treant suddenly screamed, and its wooden whip was directly cut off in mid-air, as if it had encountered some extremely sharp weapon, section by section falling to the ground!

The level 256 maxed-out silk thread could even leave marks on Eleven's transcendental hardening, let alone just cutting the small branches in front of it.

In a round of confrontation, Buggy directly showed its strength!

Shi Yu and Buggy were not surprised, but as this scene happened, Zhao Rui and others were directly dumbfounded.

"How is that possible!"

Swoosh!!

This wasn't over yet. After cutting off the opponent's wooden whip, Buggy's eyes narrowed, and it continued to control the silk thread to shoot over.

"Ah!!!" At this moment, the Treant's forehead dripped tree sap, sweating profusely, feeling the pressure, and quickly used its full strength to control the wooden whip to smash over.

Whoosh!

However, the moment the thick branch collided with the slender silk thread, the ending was still the same as before. In just an instant, the silk thread was like the sharpest and toughest weapon, slashing out a sword light, splitting the wooden whip into pieces!

At this moment, Zhao Rui's expression almost exploded, as if he had seen something that shattered his worldview.

What the hell was this Green Silkworm? What the hell was this silk thread? What was going on!

Wasn't my cousin implying that the opponent was very weak??? The dispatched pet species was indeed very weak, but this strength was unscientific!!!

The buzz-cut cousin was also shocked. What was going on with this Green Silkworm? He couldn't understand it at all!

As for the waiter, his mouth was slightly open from beginning to end, and he couldn't understand the Green Silkworm's performance either.

"Wooden Shield!"

At this time, seeing the Green Silkworm's silk thread continue to attack the Treant like a life-threatening rope, Zhao Rui's forehead veins bulged, and the natural fluctuations of wood energy surged around him, stirring up a gust of wind.

At the same time, the energy quality in the Treant's body soared. After being enhanced by the Beast Tamer's wood-type enhancement talent, its combat power greatly increased. Its body retreated, and at the same time, a row of wooden pillars bent to form half an arch to protect itself—

Whoosh!

This time, the silk thread only left white scratches on the wooden shield and failed to break through the defense successfully.

Zhao Rui's expression was happy. Was that all?

Unfortunately, he didn't relax for too long. In the next moment, his expression collapsed again, and he put on a mask of pain.

The fact that the silk thread could only leave white marks on the wooden shield didn't mean that the wooden shield's defense was high. It was also because the Green Silkworm's silk thread was not in its strongest state at this time!

Not only did it not activate all the spatial properties of the silk thread, but the number of silk threads was also relatively small at the moment. At the same time, it didn't even use illusions to materialize the stronger self in its dream!

"Ji!"

At this moment, facing the stronger opponent, Buggy directly and quickly retracted the silk thread. At the same time, it spat out dozens of almost transparent thin silk threads from its mouth, and then wrapped these silk threads together, forming a thick line column like a wooden whip.

The head of the line column was wrapped like a spear. At this time, under the control of the Green Silkworm, it was fired at a high speed like a gun!

At the moment, although the special properties of the silk thread caused some people to not be able to see the silk thread clearly, the sudden sound of breaking through the air, coupled with the Green Silkworm's action of spitting out the silk thread, directly changed everyone's expressions.

This time, the destructive power of the silk thread was so strong that it directly broke through the wooden shield with a "bang". After the wooden shield shattered, the line column pierced into the Treant's body. In the next moment, the Treant's body slightly dented, and it directly suffered a huge impact. With a contraction of its pupils, the two-meter-tall body was directly overturned, and it slid across the ground in the arena for three or four meters before stopping!

"Ji!" Buggy, who had fully unleashed its combat power in its normal state, directly and unreasonably defeated the enemy's defense.

The expressions of the cousins directly solidified and froze, completely collapsing, feeling like they were dreaming!

"You lost. The Green Silkworm's silk thread has already pierced into the Treant's body. Now, it can start destroying it from inside the Treant's body with just a thought."

At the same time, Shi Yu directly spoke. Because the other party held back at the beginning, he also let Buggy hold back a little. After all, there was an assessment in a few days, and it would be bad to cause too serious injuries to the Treant.

It was just a meal. It was better to be friendly.

"Ah—" At this time, just as Shi Yu said, the Treant on the ground didn't dare to move at all. Although it still had the strength to fight, it could clearly feel that there was a fatal weapon flowing in its body.

The maxed-out silk thread also had a characteristic, which was that it could still be controlled by the Green Silkworm for a long time even after it left the Green Silkworm's body. At this time, these transparent small silk threads were like small worms, constantly waiting for the master's attack order in the Treant's body.

This move was difficult to defend against. As long as the Green Silkworm's silk thread pierced any part of the body, it was equivalent to being sentenced to death by Shi Yu.

The transparent nature combined with this move, there wouldn't be much of a problem if Buggy was said to be the strongest assassin of the transcendent race.

"I..." At this time, Zhao Rui's expression was unacceptable because he had received feedback from the Treant and knew that Shi Yu was not lying!

Because of this, his three views were almost shattered and he couldn't understand it at all.

Green Silkworm... The Green Silkworm was suppressing the transcendent-level Treant with just silk threads???

Was this what my cousin meant when he said this wave was stable?

Stable your grandmother's legs, liar, refund!

However, it was obvious that even the cousin hadn't expected this situation at this time.

Including the waiter, the three of them were extremely shocked now. In the end, Zhao Rui's throat was almost dry, and he trembled, "Transcendent-level Green Silkworm, transcendental-level silk thread?"

"You know your stuff," Shi Yu nodded and said, "Not bad."

Damn it! What not bad! This is unscientific!

As Shi Yu confirmed, Zhao Rui and others didn't get the joy of being enlightened at all. Instead, they felt even more outrageous!!!

Someone really cultivated the Green Silkworm to the transcendent level?? Moreover, they had also trained the silk thread to the transcendental level??

There's something wrong with you—

The three of them were shocked beyond words. Fortunately, no one noticed it here. Otherwise, it would only be even more sensational here. Not to mention whether the Green Silkworm could reach the transcendent level, just the fact that it had mastered the transcendental-level silk thread was enough to determine that this Green Silkworm had almost the potential of a monarch race after evolution!!

This had already been proven!

The cousins were dumbfounded, completely unable to understand why such an examinee appeared. This kind of pet, this kind of skill proficiency, was completely incomprehensible!

"Ah!!!" The Treant reminded its Beast Tamer not to dawdle and quickly admit defeat. It was itchy and painful inside.

It swore that it would never fight bugs again. It was restrained this time—

"I..." Zhao Rui looked messy. It could be imagined that he was also a genius in a certain place, a famous person, not necessarily worse than the group that competed with Shi Yu for the evolution spring back then. However, such a genius had already seen the dangers of society before participating in the professional assessment.

In this vast world, there were all kinds of Beast Tamers and all kinds of pets.

Zhao Rui was forced to admit defeat because the Treant's life and death were indeed in Shi Yu's hands at this time... Hahahahaha, I actually lost to a Green Silkworm.

He finished speaking and showed a crazy expression. The cousin's heart skipped a beat.

Cousin, it's really not my fault. You should be able to understand... It's clear that this Beast Tamer and pet are not right!

"Hehe..." Shi Yu smiled. Although the opponent was weak and Buggy definitely didn't have a good time fighting, it was good to get a free meal...

"Ji..."

At this time, Buggy was indeed a little dissatisfied. It glanced at the dazed crowd, silently turned around, and walked back. There wasn't a single fighter. It didn't even force out its dream form. It was boring. If the opponents in the professional assessment were this level, it felt like it could easily win even without the leader's help?
