My Divine Pet System
Chapter 6

C6 – Like a Grain of Rice

Qin Hongyu gazed at the radiant pearl before him, his heart pounding with excitement. He couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, “The Divine Pet Evolution System truly exists!”

The brilliance before him, a stark contrast to the perpetual darkness he was accustomed to, allowed him to experience the essence of light anew.

He vowed it was the most magnificent light he had ever witnessed in his life—unequivocally so.

A collective gasp filled the room.

Each person there, whether student or teacher, involuntarily inhaled sharply.

The light’s intensity might not directly signify a Battle Spirit Fighter’s talent, yet it heralded the exceptional purity and richness of the Battle Spirit Bloodline—a level so astounding it was almost unbelievable.

It was clear as day that Qin Hongyu was endowed with the Battle Spirit Bloodline, and its purity was of an extraordinary degree.

“How… How can this be!” Ji Buyu’s eyes were wide with terror as he gazed at the blinding Spirit Summoning Pearl, oblivious to his scorched eyes.

“Student Feng, enough… You’ve made your point; you possess the Battle Spirit Bloodline. Please, release it now—I can barely keep my eyes open!”

The homeroom teacher, standing nearest to the Spirit Summoning Pearl, squinted against the intense light and urgently cautioned him.

Qin Hongyu then relaxed his grip and cast a meaningful glance at Ji Buyu. Without a word, he arched an eyebrow suggestively, as if to say, “Your move.”

“It’s… It’s absolutely impossible; the Spirit Summoning Pearl must be malfunctioning!”

Ji Buyu scrambled to the pearl and placed his hands upon it. At once, it emitted a pale yellow glow.

The light wasn’t dim, but without a point of comparison, it seemed harmless. This feeble glow, barely extending a meter, paled in comparison to the previous resplendent light.

The onlookers cast peculiar glances at the faint light, their eyes seemingly conveying, “Save yourself the embarrassment, step down now!”

As if shocked, Ji Buyu withdrew his hands from the Spirit Summoning Pearl, his face flushing with mortification.

With the crowd at class nine swelling, the teacher-in-charge sensed the situation spiraling. He spoke up, “Regardless of any discord among you, you remain my students until I depart from this class. Please, don’t put me in an awkward position!”

Qin Hongyu and Ji Buyu both caught on and wisely clammed up, dropping the subject of the wager. But Qin Hongyu wasn’t about to let Ji Buyu off the hook—two thousand yuan was a fortune to him!

“The hour’s getting late. Any students still needing to take the Martial Exam, come forward quickly.”

The teacher, relieved to have regained control, promptly resumed the testing process.

This round of testing sped along. If a student’s hands rested on the Spirit Summoning Pearl for ten seconds with no response, they were swiftly replaced.

Yet, the earlier miracle of Class Nine did not repeat itself; a string of students failed to elicit even the slightest reaction from the pearl.

“Only two exceptional students, after all? Perhaps I was too optimistic…” The teacher couldn’t hide his disappointment.

But for a class of dozens to boast two students with the Battle Spirit Bloodline was already extraordinary. The odds of a third such prodigy were slim to none.

The spectators from Class Nine were growing restless as evening approached, thoughts turning to heading home for dinner.

“Jiao, you haven’t been tested yet, have you? Go on, give it a try.”

With the testing winding down and Bo Miaojiao still untested, Qin Hongyu nudged her encouragingly.
