I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 659 - 465 Not worthy②_2

But it couldn't hide the Demon Skill·Spark Splash in front of the pig's snout.

Suddenly, the Evil Soul Cat twisted its head, and Tearing Wind Beam—thin and swift—shot out from the white bell.

The Spark Splash gathering in front of the Fire Orange Pig's face was instantly detonated! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Rumble..."

The Fire Orange Pig was blasted away on the spot!

The Evil Soul Cat twisted its head, and those blood-red feline eyes locked firmly onto its prey—the Human Race.

"Gulp." Fa Bo's Adam's apple wriggled; cold sweat trickled down his back. "Tea...Teacher Gong!"

Gong Cheng watched coldly, silent as ever.

Even as Fa Bo cried out, his hands never stopped, summoning his Demon Pets again and again. At that moment—

"Meow!!!"

Very abruptly, another sharp cat's yowl came from below.

At just that single screech, the forever steady-as-Mount-Tai Old Demon Gong instantly lost his composure!

His face changed, and he shot out of the leafy branches, only to see a flash of silver lightning!

"Meow!"

"Woo~" One cat continued to scream, while the other made a whimpering sound.

The pitch-black Evil Soul Cat, under the claws of the silver behemoth, had its battle robe shredded cleanly and decisively.

The Evil Soul Cat should have been sent flying far away, who knows where it would have landed.

However, the Desolate Silver Lynx didn't allow that to happen.

She merely flicked her long tail, and the blade of the Lion Bone Scythe blocked the path where the Evil Soul Cat was about to be blasted away.

"Sss!"

The Evil Soul Cat was instantly cut in two!

This Evil Soul Cat, which had almost wiped out the whole team, was already a pile of bones in the blink of an eye.

"Withdraw your Demon Pets, get behind me!" Gong Cheng shouted, a Ghost Skull Necklace now hanging from his neck.

By the headlamp and Night Fire Cage's glow, everyone saw that above their heads, atop a giant tree, a massive beast stood proudly.

Desert Lynx?

Gong Cheng's brows knitted slightly—and it was a Heterochromatic Desert Lynx!

The most important part: this was a Demon General!

The only thing that somewhat reassured everyone was that there was no red light in this Desert Lynx's eyes.

In other words, this was not a Cold Beast.

Just as Gong Cheng was carefully inspecting the giant scythe blade, a familiar voice rose from below.

"Instructor Gong."

"Hmm?" Gong Cheng looked down.

There was Du Yu, carrying a Heterochromatic Fire Fox on his shoulder, smoothly ascending to land in front of everyone.

Du Yu wore an apologetic face: "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your class."

Behind Gong Cheng, the still-traumatized Fa Bo was about to stomp and curse!

Class!?

This is called a class?

Following Old Demon Gong is literally betting your life!

Should've interrupted! Damn right to interrupt!!!

Fa Bo screamed madly in his heart.

But poor Fa Bo didn't dare utter a word aloud.

After all, Old Demon Gong was standing not even half a meter in front of him...

Gong Cheng was shocked: "Your Demon Pet?"

Gong Cheng had thought it was some other soldier who couldn't stand it anymore and had stepped in to help.

Never did he expect that the one who stepped in was the former training camp student—Du Yu?

"Meow~" The Desolate Silver Lynx landed lightly, standing behind Du Yu with its head held high.

Those fierce beast eyes were full of disdain, looking down on the little Human folk in front.

"Yes." Du Yu raised his hand.

Lord Baojun, right on cue, dipped her vicious beast head, letting Du Yu rub her chin.

This obedient sight left a few of the students dumbfounded!

Du Yu explained, "Mainly, she's super sensitive to cat yowls.

As soon as she hears the Evil Soul Cat screech, I can't even stop her—she just has to settle who's boss..."

Gong Cheng nodded, already understanding the nature of these Demon Beasts.

He didn't mind his class being interrupted; that wasn't the main issue!

What mattered was this dignified Demon General was willingly serving Du Yu, choosing to become the Demon Pet of a Great Demon Tamer?

And not just any Demon General—not some gentle and docile Demon Beast race, either.

This was an utterly savage and brutal Desert Lynx!

Gradually, a strange smile appeared on Gong Cheng's face. "Impressive, Squad Leader Du?"

"Uh." Du Yu waved his hand awkwardly. "What squad leader am I? I can only get an official title with you.

Master Qing has a good eye—she wouldn't even look at me.

With my little bit of power, I'm just a minor disciple...eh?"

Halfway through, Du Yu suddenly sensed something was off?

Gong Cheng: ???

Earlier, when they'd reunited after a long time, they'd still been all official.

Now, after just a few hours apart, their banter had returned to the training camp days.

Gong Cheng's face grew frosty as he raised his head, gazing at the giant scythe blade behind the Lynx's tail.

But with Cold Mist all around and the light limited, he couldn't make out the full picture of the Lion Bone Scythe.

"Um, Instructor Gong, you carry on with your class. I'll just make myself scarce," Du Yu said hastily.

Suddenly Gong Cheng asked: "Are you training your Demon Pet in weapon skills?"

"Yeah." Du Yu hopped onto the Desolate Silver Lynx's back, ready to bolt at any time. "She's a Heterochromatic Demon Pet—super smart.

I thought I'd let her practice with weapons, have some fun."

Gong Cheng nodded to himself.

Normally, he'd advise his students not to suppress their Demon Pets' natural instincts.

The Desert Lynx's tail was, no doubt, a combat weapon.

If you had a Lynx wielding a scythe with its tail, then you'd be foregoing the Demon Skill·Gallows Tail.

But seeing Du Yu and his Heterochromatic Lynx here, Gong Cheng felt compelled again and again—but held his tongue in the end.

Just now, the way that Heterochromatic Lynx instantly killed a Spirit-level Peak Evil Soul Cat already spoke volumes.

Besides, this giant scythe had to be no Mortal Grade weapon!

"Meow~" Another cat call sounded.

Everyone turned to look left.

Another silver behemoth appeared, landing atop a nearby giant tree.

What was even more jaw-dropping: riding atop that new Heterochromatic Lynx was a Chi Bear?

As Du Yu's Demon Pets appeared one after another, Gong Cheng couldn't help but feel deeply moved inside.

Heterochromatic Desert Lynx, Heterochromatic Four-tailed Fire Fox,

and there it was, a national treasure coveted by all Great Xia People—Chi Bear.

A year and a half ago, Du Yu was just a kid who couldn't even afford to raise a Little Fire Fox.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gong Cheng would never have believed—even at death's door—that Du Yu could have come this far.

Look down on a young man just because he's poor?

When this corny old plot from novels actually unfolds before you...

The shock in Gong Cheng's heart was truly beyond words.

And setting aside Demon Pets, who would've thought that the former instructor and student would meet again—inside the final battleground: the Bottomless Pit?

Gong Cheng: "A year and a half."

Du Yu: "What?"

Gong Cheng: "You've taken only a year and a half.

To reach heights that countless Demon Tamers can never touch in their whole lives."

Normally so taciturn, Gong Cheng spoke at length for once.

And now, seeing Du Yu stand before him like this...

The old instructor no longer cared about "getting enough to eat."

Gong Cheng: "What you once said—about what you'd do after you've eaten your fill—don't forget it."

After eating my fill?

A glimmer of reminiscence flickered in Du Yu's eyes.

I think I said I'd travel all the Otherworlds of Great Xia.

And said I wanted a bow to pierce the Celestial Gate, and an arrow that could burn worlds to ash.

To use Kunlun Divine Wood Leaves as a bed, and wrap myself in a Supreme Golden Crow Fire Feather quilt.

And to have a few Demon Pets I love, and...

"Eee~" On his shoulder, Xiaoyan softly chirped, nuzzling Du Yu's head.

Du Yu came back to himself and grinned, "Instructor Gong, all that stuff I just made up on the spot to fool you back then."

Gong Cheng: "Made up, huh."

"Yep."

"But you remember every bit."

Du Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't come up with a word for a long time.

Damn!

If Old Demon Gong back then had eyes this sharp, Your Majesty would never have spun those stories.

Gong Cheng stared straight into Du Yu's eyes. "After all this time, if you still remember, don't say you made it up."

Du Yu casually pinched a cat ear and pouted. "Can't a guy just have a good memory?"

"Heh." Gong Cheng gave a cold sort of laugh. "Go on now, don't disrupt my class."

Du Yu: "..."

He was filled with mixed feelings, stood there in silence for a while, and then quietly said, "Goodbye, Instructor Gong."

"Meow~"

"Meow!" The two silver behemoths leapt up and down in turn.

The cold mist rapidly cleared away, as if making a path for Du Yu.

"Instructor Gong."

"Hmm?" Gong Cheng raised his head, but Du Yu had already climbed far above.

Only cold mist, no sign of him.

Dimly, Du Yu's voice drifted down: "Take care. Don't go dying."

Gong Cheng gazed at the cold mist above, and muttered softly, "Mm, I'll wait and see."
