Chapter 3: There's Never a Shortage of People Asking for Trouble
It was precisely this emotionless, mechanical-like voice that caused Ye Ling to be lost in thought for a while.
Suddenly snapping back to reality, Ye Ling's face showed uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Ye Ling!"
Chen Zhi, who had been standing beside him, vigorously shook Ye Ling.
Ye Ling, who had returned to his senses, was instantly startled and quickly suppressed his joy.
Only then did he turn his head to look at Chen Zhi, asking in confusion.
"Chen Zhi, what did you just say? Sorry, I was a bit lost in thought just now."
Hearing this, Chen Zhi revealed a speechless expression.
So, whatever he had just said, this guy Ye Ling hadn't heard a thing.
"I said... Sigh! Forget it, it's nothing. Make the most of these few days and work hard. See if you can strive to get into a Low-Level Spirit Master Academy."
Saying this, Chen Zhi let out a deep sigh.
He also knew that the Spirit Pet Ye Ling obtained was a Zombie, extremely slow-moving, and a Zombie that couldn't evolve.
When Ye Ling was lost in thought just now, Chen Zhi thought this matter had dealt Ye Ling a huge blow and he hadn't recovered yet, which was why he kept zoning out.
"Keep it up!"
Patting Ye Ling's shoulder vigorously again, Chen Zhi encouraged him.
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded and didn't say much more.
Right now, he was more concerned about his System.
However, in this public setting, he wasn't sure if opening the System would cause any strange phenomena, so Ye Ling decided it was better to go home as soon as possible before doing so.
"Don't worry, my goal isn't a Low-Level Spirit Master Academy."
Now that Ye Ling had the System, although he still didn't know exactly what it was for, how could just a Low-Level Spirit Master Academy satisfy him?
Chen Zhi was slightly taken aback, but he didn't pay too much attention, just assuming Ye Ling had enough confidence, which was a good thing.
Of course, he wouldn't take Ye Ling's words too seriously.
With the Zombie Spirit Pet Ye Ling had, whether he could even get into a Low-Level Spirit Master Academy was a huge question.
"Hahahaha! Did you guys just hear what Ye Ling said? His goal isn't a Low-Level Spirit Master Academy? Hahahaha!"
At this moment, extremely arrogant laughter came from the side.
This loud laughter and slightly harsh words made both Ye Ling and Chen Zhi frown.
Turning their heads to look, they saw a boy dressed brightly, who clearly came from a family with some influence, wearing an arrogant expression.
Ye Ling was not at all unfamiliar with this person.
This person's name was Liu Wu, and he could be considered to have a good family background.
The Liu Family was a Second-rate family in Tianhui City. Their strongest Chieftain was a Royal Spirit Master who had already broken through to Five-Order.
Although a Five-Order Royal Spirit Master didn't sound incredibly powerful, in this Tianhui City, it was genuinely not weak.
After all, Tianhui City wasn't a major city; it could at best be considered a Medium-sized City.
Even the strongest City Lord of Tianhui City was only a Spirit Controller (7th tier), the strongest combat power in the entire Tianhui City.
Tianhui City had a total of three first-rate families and five Second-rate families. As for the families below the second-rate, there were even more.
To reach the level of a first-rate family, the strongest combat power within the family would have to be at least Level 6. For a Second-rate family, it was Five-Order.
Therefore, the Liu Family's influence in Tianhui City was genuinely not weak.
And this was also why Liu Wu could be so arrogant and overbearing in class.
As long as he didn't provoke the descendants of those few first-rate families, he could basically swagger around among the Students.
And in this class, there were no descendants of first-rate families, so Liu Wu could basically swagger around without anyone bothering him.
Liu Wu, who came from the Liu Family, naturally didn't get his first Spirit Pet from the school, but from his Family.
This was the advantage of influential families; they not only had superior family backgrounds but could also obtain more powerful Spirit Pets.
The starting line had already created a vast gap compared to commoners.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Wu was accustomed to being arrogant and completely looked down on the commoners in the class.
Ye Ling was naturally no exception and was often mocked and ridiculed by him.
Furthermore, although Ye Ling was a commoner, he was somewhat handsome and had a certain aura, which made Liu Wu, who considered himself excellent, intensely dislike him.
This was especially true after Ye Ling obtained the Zombie Spirit Pet; Liu Wu liked to come and mock Ye Ling whenever he had the chance.
"Ye Ling, do you think with your useless Zombie, you could possibly get into a Royal Spirit Master Academy?
Let alone anything more, I doubt you can even get into a Low-Level Spirit Master Academy, huh? Hahahaha!"
Regarding Ye Ling's words just now, Liu Wu appeared very disdainful and even mocked him to his face.
In Liu Wu's eyes, he was just an ordinary commoner with no ability.
Obtaining a Spirit Pet, and it turned out to be a useless Zombie, clearly indicated that Ye Ling would be nothing more than an ordinary person in the future.
He could bully this kind of person however he wanted, and Liu Wu always felt a sense of superiority in front of Ye Ling.
"You...!"
Ye Ling himself hadn't said anything yet, but Chen Zhi, who was beside him, couldn't sit still and was about to step forward.
Just before he stepped out, Ye Ling promptly grabbed his arm.
Chen Zhi, who was somewhat indignant, was stopped by Ye Ling and had to halt. He turned around, looking at Ye Ling with some confusion.
He didn't quite understand why he wanted to help him but was stopped by him.
