Monster trainers weren't strong individually. Even though it was said that Familiars could greatly increase a monster trainer's survivability in the later stages, it was only an increase in survivability. If a monster trainer wanted to truly fight, they still needed to rely on their Familiars.
The number of Familiars a monster trainer could contract depended on the strength of the monster trainer's soul. As the Familiars under their command grew stronger, they could also provide the monster trainer with feedback, allowing the monster trainer's soul to grow stronger, allowing them to contract more Familiars.
Everything was relative. Signing a Familiar also required soul power. Although the Blood Contract had the word "blood," blood was only a medium. The real connection between humans and monsters was actually the soul.
The soul power required to sign a contract with a monster depended on the monster's condition when the contract was signed. For example, signing a Blood Contract with a monster when it was weak wouldn't increase the soul power consumption burden as the monster grew stronger.
Of course, there were two sides to everything. If the Monster Trainer cruelly controlled the Familiar, it would only cause the Familiar to resist continuously. This would increase the burden on the Monster Trainer's soul. If the number of Familiars that resisted increased, it could very well evolve into a terrifying outcome in the end …
If he took in a large group of low-level Familiars and continuously strengthened their grade, Gao Peng suddenly thought of a loophole.
No, no, that would be too obvious.
Gao Peng quickly rejected the idea in his heart. At least, he couldn't do that for now. Moreover, cultivating Familiars required a large amount of resources, which wasn't something he could afford at the moment. As for exposing his ability to join other forces, Gao Peng didn't have such thoughts at all. Who knew, he might end up as someone else's monster trainer.
"Is everyone here? Class monitor, do a headcount, "the homeroom teacher, Murong Qiuye, ordered the class monitor, Tan Qianjin, as he got into the car from the front door.
Tan Qianjin was also a little fatty. When he smiled, he had a pair of small dimples. Usually, he was very popular in the class. Coupled with his cheerful personality and good grades, he was gradually elected as the class monitor.
"Mr. Murong, everyone is here. I put a tick on the name list for every person that comes up." Tan Qianjin smiled with his eyes squinted, handing the name list in his hand to Mr. Murong.
Mr. Murong nodded, then pulled the railing and stuck his head out of the window, shouting behind him, "Sir, all the students in our class have gathered. We can set off."
After a while, Mr. Murong nodded and sat in the driver's seat with his head lowered.
Tan Qianjin, who was sitting in the first row, was dumbfounded as he watched Mr. Murong skillfully shift gears and step on the accelerator. A series of actions were done in one go.
Old, old driver.
The bus's exhaust pipe let out a roar, and it rushed forward like a giant steel beast.
Two blue cars with white paint followed closely behind. The white paint painted a shield on the side of the car — Blue Shield Protection Company.
The speed of the car was very fast, and in less than ten minutes, they had already arrived at the edge of a lake in the suburbs.
"Alright, we've arrived. Students, please get off the bus."
With a buzzing sound, the front and back doors of the bus opened at the same time, and sunlight shone into the bus.
"So … so exciting. So this is the legendary suburb!" A fatty in the class who was usually unruly rubbed his hands. "Too, too f * cking exciting, ugh." Behind him, a girl with a ponytail and glasses knocked his head hard with an expressionless face. "Li Zipang, stop acting."
Li Zigong was furious. "Li Hongdou, don't go too far. If you weren't my sister, I would definitely …" Li Zigong suddenly stopped when he met Li Hongdou's cold gaze. "I would definitely not dare to speak so loudly …"
Gao Peng held Da Zi's hand as they got off the bus. The two antennae on Da Zi's forehead kept swaying, and the unfamiliar surroundings made him hesitate. In the end, it was Gao Peng who dragged him off the bus.
Da Zi, who was dragged off the bus, was so anxious that he kept circling around Gao Peng. He stood up and wanted to lean on Gao Peng, but was mercilessly rejected by Gao Peng.
This was the first time he saw Da Zi so nervous, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Roar!" A violent roar exploded in Gao Peng's ears, and the sound waves assaulted him. Gao Peng's eardrums almost burst. Da Zi was instantly enraged, and his body straightened and bent backward, his entire body like a bow.
Whoosh —
It left a long afterimage and bit the Black Raging Kong's thigh like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.
The Black Raging Kong's eyebrows furrowed like a human, and it held its thigh and cried out.
On the other side, Hai Lanyu had a gloating smile on his face when he saw that his familiar had been bitten. He immediately became furious, and just as he was about to explode, he heard Murong Qiuye's stern scolding, "What are you two doing? Don't pretend that I didn't see it. Hai Lanyu, since you have a familiar, you are a monster trainer. As a monster trainer, you have to take care of your familiar and not attack others. Gao Peng, you have to take care of your little centipede too. Don't let it bite people. "
Both of them were scolded, but it was obvious that Murong Qiuye was more biased towards Gao Peng, probably because Gao Peng's grades were better.
In the end, the Black Raging Kong was unwillingly called away by its master. However, it looked at Hai Lanyu with deep resentment. You were the one who sent me to scare that guy, and you called me back after I was bitten by that little centipede. What kind of master are you?
It jumped around unhappily on the spot, letting out howls.
The Black Raging Kong's intelligence was not weak, comparable to that of a seven- or eight-year-old child. Its emotions were very obvious, and it did not hide them at all. All of its emotions were clearly expressed on its face. Its facial features were scrunched up, and its eyebrows were slanted. It looked very sad.
Gao Peng took a closer look at the Black Raging Kong. In his mind, he could see that the Black Raging Kong's status on the attribute list had changed from Healthy (Irritated) to Slightly Injured (Depressed) and [Poisoned].
The last two words, Poisoned, kept flashing red. As time passed, the red light became dimmer and dimmer, but at the same time, the previous status changed from Slightly Injured to Slightly Injured.

"Is this Blood Lilyturf? It evolved from the Lilyturf before the Cataclysm. Before evolution, Lilyturf could already be used as medicine. It had the effect of stimulating saliva, quenching thirst, moistening lungs, and stopping coughing. The mutated Blood Lilyturf can also treat internal injuries, especially after the internal organs have been damaged. Taking a small root of the Blood Lilyturf can replenish blood and heal injuries. "Gao Peng half-squatted on the ground and fiddled with the blood-red plant beside his feet.
Lilyturf was also known as Step Grass. It was a very common plant before the Cataclysm. It could be seen on the streets. Usually, the plant at the bottom of the roadside flowerbeds that looked like leeks was Lilyturf.
All information about Blood Lilyturf could be found in the "New Edition Second Set of Mutated Botany." This was also one of the compulsory courses for middle school students after the Cataclysm.
No matter the time, knowledge was always the number one productive force.
Even in this strange new world that could be said to be a myth, knowledge and science would never fall behind.
Science was not the same as technology. Technology was only the fruit of science. Science was the organization of existing knowledge, as well as the collection, editing, and analysis of data. It could greatly increase one's mastery and induction of knowledge.
