There were three spirit beast aptitude assessment centers in Songhai city, which were mainly used to identify spirit beasts. You just needed to produce a relevant soul pet contract and pay a certain test fee before you could take part in the aptitude assessment test. Loopy Toad had been in Wang Ling's house for a long time, but it actually hadn't signed a contract yet … because this kind of contract was actually meaningless to both Wang Ling and Loopy Toad.
A soul pet contract existed so that when a soul pet went out of control, the owner could use the power of the contract to forcibly suppress it and restrain it. But as a pet under Ling Zhenren, this kind of contract was basically useless.
First of all, it was impossible for Loopy Toad to go out of control, and it was even more impossible for it to resist Wang Ling … wouldn't that be deliberately making things difficult for itself?
But in order to participate in the spirit beast aptitude assessment center's test this time, Wang Ling and Loopy Toad had signed a contract last night, and then Loopy Toad had left with it.
The Toad clan had a Space Swallowing Spell. Although Loopy Toad was now a dog, as long as it could use spirit energy and knew the formula for this spell, it could still use it normally. And this contract was now hidden in Loopy Toad's mouth.
…
It was almost eleven o 'clock in the afternoon when a green akita appeared at the entrance of the aptitude assessment center.
This was the spirit beast aptitude assessment center in the center of the city. It was a very magnificent building shaped like a giant egg, densely inlaid with all kinds of decorative spirit stones.
Loopy Toad jumped up to the glass door in two or three steps. Although it hadn't entered yet, it could already hear the noise inside.
There was a long line in front of the reception desk as many cultivators lined up with their spirit beasts to wait for the aptitude assessment. What Loopy Toad hadn't expected was that the spirit beasts in front of it were fairly normal in size. There were all kinds of spirit beasts; some flew in the sky, some ran on the ground, some swam in the water … the most novel spirit beast was actually a butterfly, and its owner was a youngster in a red cap who stood in front of Loopy Toad.
The butterfly was very obediently perched on the youngster's shoulder and didn't move at all.
Loopy Toad was at the end of the line, and the moment it saw the butterfly, it immediately broke out in a sweat … this was probably a rare spirit butterfly, but it couldn't tell which species it was.
The classification of spirit beasts in the cultivation world was really too complicated, and there were all kinds of strange things. Generally speaking, whether a spirit beast was good or bad depended on its strength.
As long as one was strong enough, even a spiritual ant could be called a king.
Nowadays, there were quite a few cultivators who relied on the spirit beasts they raised to travel all over the country to participate in spirit pet competitions to make money. This was a new industry, and the Spirit Beast Qualification Appraisal Center was born to serve this industry.
On the one hand, it could link up with pets with intelligence competitions all over the country to provide the government with accurate data of spirit beasts. On the other hand, it could also make a record of the spirit beasts in captivity all over the country. In case something happened, the appraisal center could directly contact the owner.
While it was in line, Loopy Toad saw the youngster in the red cap standing in front of it suddenly look at it. "Did you come by yourself? Where's your master? "
Loopy Toad looked up at the clock in the main hall of the qualification assessment center and directly replied, "He's in class."
In the end, this reply didn't matter, but all the spirit beasts and their owners in the line nearby looked at Loopy Toad in utter astonishment … even the security guards who were responsible for maintaining order in the line and the managers of the qualification assessment center were stunned.
Holy shit!? This green-furred dog could actually talk?
Generally speaking, only second-class spirit beasts had a rudimentary language system, right?
Under normal circumstances … only the owner who had signed the contract with the spirit pet could understand the words of a spirit beast that had not reached the Second Stage!
The youngster stared at Loopy Toad in utter astonishment. "You can talk? You're second class? "
Loopy Toad was very modest. "Second class … I don't think so …"
The youngster was a little puzzled. "Then how can you talk?"
Loopy Toad: "I can also write. Is it hard to learn?"
Everyone: "…"
The youngster took a deep breath. He had initially wondered which owner would be so generous as to let his spirit pet participate in the qualification assessment on its own …
That was because there was a follow-up question and answer session that required the cooperation of the owner. But if the spirit pet could talk and write … there really wouldn't be a need for the owner to participate in the qualification assessment.
This youngster was actually the kind of cultivator who specialized in raising spirit beasts and then took them to competitions all over the country. So the moment he saw Loopy Toad, he was instantly captivated … he felt that this green-furred dog wasn't just ordinarily handsome!
A spirit beast under second class that could talk and write – what kind of breed was it?
The youngster was extremely curious about Loopy Toad, and straightaway crouched down and stretched out his hand. "Hello, let's get to know each other … I'm Wei Zhi from Zhenxin Town. You can call me Little Zhi. "
"…"
Loopy Toad was blank, feeling like it had heard this line somewhere before. But it still put its paw on the youngster's hand out of courtesy.
This youngster called Wei Zhi looked very excited. "Were you born with green fur?"
Loopy Toad nodded its head. "Sort of …"
Actually, Loopy Toad had long wanted to ridicule its green fur.
Although it had been a demon king in its past life, it had always behaved itself and hadn't done anything outrageous. The biggest crime it had committed in its life was probably when it had descended into the Gate Between Worlds six years ago … some people might not believe it, but at that time, it had been pushed out by the combined efforts of the other demon kings.
In the end, it had turned into a box as soon as it landed …
Apart from that incident, Loopy Toad felt that it was a pretty honest toad … but when Teacher Pan had fused it with a dog and turned it into a green-furred akita, Loopy Toad had actually despaired in its heart at that time.
Who hadn't made mistakes when they were young, but was there a need to turn themselves into the color of forgiveness?
This might not have been a big deal to other people, but for Loopy Toad, it was a real pain in the ass …
Because of this youngster called Wei Zhi's sudden change of pace, Loopy Toad noticed that more and more eyes were now focused on it … even the staff responsible for boarding the plane at the front desk stared at it with strange expressions on their faces.
When it was Wei Zhi's turn to fill in the identification form, he looked at Loopy Toad with some concern in his eyes.
"Do you want me to fill it out for you? It's not convenient for you to hold the pen with your dog paw, right? "
Loopy Toad shook its head. "No need, I can do it myself."
Wei Zhi and the staff at the front desk were startled. Then, Wei Zhi gave Loopy Toad a data form and a pen, and he couldn't help laughing. "This is the first time I've seen a dog write …"
Loopy Toad skillfully picked up the pen. In fact, it wasn't so much holding as using spirit energy to suck the pen into its paw. This was a posture that Loopy Toad had specially studied, and it was easier to hold the pen back and forth.
When Loopy Toad started to fill in the form, a lot of the people in the queue couldn't help watching. Even Wei Zhi couldn't help glancing at Loopy Toad as he filled in the form.
All of a sudden, Wei Zhi asked curiously, "What breed of spirit dog are you?"
Loopy Toad replied indifferently, "Akita."
Akita?
Everyone was shocked … because akitas were just ordinary breeds of dogs, and weren't classified as spirit dogs at all!
Wei Zhi was greatly shocked. "You're a hybrid?"
The corners of Loopy Toad's eyes twitched. "You're the hybrid!"
