Of course, Gao Peng, who was temporarily staying in Zhou Tianmin's house, naturally didn't know what was going on outside. In fact, even if he did know, Gao Peng wouldn't have cared, because this was all within his expectations.
Of course, Southern Sky Group might have played a big part in this.
One had to make a name for oneself early. Once Gao Peng had the halo of a genius hanging around him, no matter what he did, it wouldn't be too shocking.
"Zhou Mengmeng, is that Gao Peng really living in your house?" A conversation could be heard outside the garden corridor.
"Yes."
"An 18-year-old Lord-tier monster trainer. That's too much. If he had signed a Blood Contract in the early days of the Cataclysm, wouldn't he have a legendary King-tier familiar by now?"
On the east side of the garden was a spacious open space. A rainproof shed had been built on top of the open space, and under the shed were some training equipment for familiars.
For example, there was a long piece of equipment that resembled a chair that was five meters tall. There was a cylindrical column at the bottom for fixing it. This was a piece of equipment used to train leg strength. It had been modified into a structure that was compatible with monster mechanics.
Da Zi's entire body was lying on top of it. The muscles on its lower body were constantly squirming. Its body was bent into the shape of a bow, then slowly stretched out. Then, it exerted force on its back and continued to bend into the shape of a bow. During this process, a faint white mist was emitted from the surface of its body.
"Keep it up for ten more minutes, and I'll give you an extra meal for dinner." Gao Peng glanced at the timer, then encouraged Da Zi.
Da Zi's pitch-black eyes turned. "Yes, yes!" When Gao Peng's gaze left it, its movements slowed down again.
Gao Peng took two steps forward. Next to Da Zi's equipment was a piece of equipment that looked like a butterfly machine. Unfortunately, this machine was more than six meters tall. It was too big for Xiao Huang, so Gao Peng had Flamy spit fire at it from time to time to maintain Xiao Huang's size.
Flamy was also happy to be lazy. It flew happily in the sky like a fat penguin spreading its wings. When it saw that Xiao Huang's body was starting to shrink, it would spit fire at it. If the fire didn't trigger the passive effect, it would spit fire again.
"Not bad, Xiao Huang. You're doing very well. I'll give you an extra meal for dinner tonight." Gao Peng smiled...
Hearing Gao Peng's promise, Xiao Huang.
"Gao Peng, Gao Peng." Silly, who was floating next to Gao Peng's head, used its tentacles to scratch the back of Gao Peng's ear.
"What's wrong?" Gao Peng bent his pinky and pulled Silly's tentacles, making a hook with Silly.
"Da Zi is slacking ~" Silly said happily.
Gao Peng didn't say anything. He glanced sideways and saw Da Zi lying on the training equipment. The two black tentacles at the tip of its tail were wagging happily. It was very relaxed.
"Good job. I'll reward you with three glasses of juice." Gao Peng shook his pinky and encouraged it.
Silly's eyes lit up. It hugged Gao Peng's head happily. "Gao Peng, you're so cool!"
"Da Zi, do ten thousand standard exercises for me today. When you're done, you can eat." Gao Peng quickly turned his head and said calmly.
Da Zi, who was swaying leisurely, suddenly froze. It seemed like it didn't expect Gao Peng to suddenly attack it.
It opened its mouth wide and stared blankly at Gao Peng.
"Don't slack off. There's a surveillance camera up here. I'll always be watching to see if you're slacking off." Gao Peng pointed at a surveillance camera hanging on a tall pole next to the garden.
Da Zi was shocked again!
Why do humans always invent such fancy things?! Are they targeting me, this little centipede?!
Diagonally to the side, there was a spacious open space. In the middle of the open space was the dark and muscular Abba.
Ever since Dumb grew a pair of horns on its shoulders, Abba had been awarded the title of Gao Peng's personal mount.
At the moment, Abba was carrying a few tons of weight on its back and doing push-ups on the ground.
Clouds of white smoke slowly rose from its legs and back. Insects didn't sweat because they didn't have sweat glands. They exhaled the excess heat from their bodies through their pores.
"He woke up so early to train his familiars. No wonder he could train a Lord-tier familiar at such a young age." A tall girl with shoulder-length hair stood beside Zhou Mengmeng. She wore a red off-shoulder shirt paired with a black knee-length pleated skirt. Her legs were straight and round, and her face was adorned with light makeup.
"An Ningxue, if you're really in love, you can consider asking your father to propose marriage to the Ji family." Zhou Mengmeng poked An Ningxue's arm and teased her.
An Ningxue wasn't shy. Instead, she began to seriously consider the possibility of Zhou Mengmeng's idea.
Zhou Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her best friend like this. Judging from her grandfather's attitude, it seemed like he wanted to set her up with Gao Peng. Zhou Mengmeng didn't like this. It wasn't that she hated Gao Peng, but she hated the feeling of being arranged by her elders.
Now that she had her best friend to take the blame for her, of course, it couldn't be better.
…
It was already 7: 30 in the morning. Gao Peng looked at his watch.
The competition started at 8: 30 in the morning. It would only take about ten minutes to reach the arena, so there was still plenty of time left.
Gao Peng also noticed Zhou Mengmeng and Da Zi outside the arena, but he was currently training his familiars and wasn't familiar with them, so he ignored them.
After training his familiars, Gao Peng began to pack up his things.
Xiao Huang jumped down from the giant butterfly machine with a shake of its butt. The tip of its tail wagged as it walked to the equipment closet. The muscles at the tip of its right wing tightened into a fist as it grabbed the door knocker. Then, it violently pulled open the closet door and carefully took out a small yellow jacket from inside.
It was still in its giant form, so it couldn't wear clothes. So, Xiao Huang threw the jacket over its shoulder and strutted out of the training ground with "duck steps."
When it passed by Zhou Mengmeng and the others, it even glanced at them. Then, it proudly raised its neck.
"A female human without fur. So ugly."
Da Zi turned its head and quietly stared at Gao Peng. Then, it tried to sneakily climb down from the training machine.
Gao Peng glanced at it. Da Zi's body, which was halfway up, turned in midair and climbed up from another direction.
"I'm tired. Exercising," Da Zi said casually.
Then, it continued to train.
After breakfast, they boarded the helicopter and flew to the arena.
Dumb hooked its arms around the bottom of the helicopter and took a free ride.
The helicopter didn't need to be stuck in traffic or take a detour. It arrived at the arena in less than ten minutes.
The audience and reporters arrived one after another.
The competition soon began.
After a day of fermenting, Gao Peng's popularity grew.
It was already close to noon. The audience, who had watched the competition all morning, was a little tired. Their enthusiasm wasn't as high as it was at the beginning.
"Next, the thirty-second match of the first round will begin. It's also the last match of the first elimination round!" the host announced loudly.
In the center of the arena, Gao Peng led Dumb onto the stage.
On both sides of the arena, iron gates slowly rose.
On the left, a boy wearing a red team uniform and black sweatpants walked out. Behind him was a black tiger as thick as a water tank. Its body was covered in pitch-black scales that shone brightly under the sun. The golden "King" character on its forehead was particularly eye-catching.
On the right, a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walked out. His long, wavy hair fell behind his shoulders. Behind him, a strange-looking tree covered in burls walked out. Its python-like roots squeezed and crawled.
Some of the audience members who had been dozing off were suddenly energized and excited. "It's here. The most anticipated battle is about to begin."
"Huaxia Region's number one versus Yinglie Region's number one!"
"Yu Ge will definitely win."
"But Brandy isn't weak either. After all, he's Yinglie Region's number one."
"Are you from the Huaxia Region?!" The person next to him glared at him.
