Chapter 157 Battle Spirits

When the system notification sounded, announcing that Yuan Bao had won the competition and asking her to choose between the reward equipment and the battle spirit, Yuan Bao's eyes darted quickly across the screen, carefully comparing the attributes and descriptions of the two.

The reward equipment is a pair of shoes called "Dawn Boots," which have attributes that increase movement speed and jump power, and come with a skill that increases agility for a short period of time.

The battle spirit is a small spirit that emits a light blue light all over its body. According to the information, it is called "Glimmer Butterfly" and can release healing rays and light energy to assist in attacks.

Before Yuan Bao could speak, Xiao 9's lively voice rang out first: "Master, I think it's more suitable for us to choose a battle spirit."

The equipment you're wearing now is a "High-Grade Starlight Equipment" set, which I bought at a high price. It's been upgraded and has set bonuses, making it much more powerful than these "Dawnbreaker Boots."

Yuan Bao nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the introduction page of the Glimmering Butterfly, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as he fell into thought.

She knew in her heart that Xiao 9 was right; the equipment she had carefully selected and enhanced had attributes far superior to this reward equipment.

Little 9 seemed to see through Yuan Bao's thoughts and continued, "Moreover, this Glimmering Butterfly has enormous potential."

As you participate in various challenges and missions, it will grow along with you.

Each time it completes an adventure, its abilities may improve, which is like having an invaluable helper!

Imagine this: in the heat of battle, it can both aid in healing and release a shimmering energy to disrupt enemies. In future missions, whether you're fighting alone or in a team, it will be a major asset before you receive group healing.

Yuan Bao's eyes lit up as she recalled the image of the Glimmering Butterfly fighting alongside her in battle. Without hesitation, she decisively clicked the option to select a battle spirit on the screen.

Instantly, a soft blue light emerged from the screen and slowly condensed into a small, delicate butterfly in front of Yuan Bao.

Its wings shimmered with a dreamlike glow, and its delicate antennae swayed gently, as if expressing friendliness to Yuan Bao.

"Hello, please take care of me from now on!" Yuan Bao said softly, a happy smile on his face.

The luminous butterflies danced around Yuan Bao, emitting soft buzzing sounds, as if responding to her.

"My lord, although we have chosen the Glimmering Spirit Butterfly, we still need to make it recognize its master before we can be considered to have completed the task," Little 9 continued to explain.

"Recognize a master? How do you do that? A blood test to prove kinship, no, a blood test to prove master?"

"Yes! All you need to do is bite your right index finger and drip the blood onto the Glowing Butterfly."

Without hesitation, Yuan Bao frowned slightly and bit his index finger, causing a bead of bright red blood to quickly well up.

She brought her finger close to the luminous butterfly, and a drop of blood landed precisely on its blue-glowing wings.

The moment the blood droplet touched the Glowing Butterfly, something strange happened.

The light emanating from the Glowing Butterfly suddenly intensified, enveloping Yuan Bao. A warm power emanated from his fingertips, spreading throughout his body along his arm.

Yuan Baoneng could clearly feel that a wonderful connection was quietly being established between her and the Glowing Butterfly.

Little 9 excitedly said, "We succeeded! Master, from now on you will be able to communicate with each other. In battle, it will be able to sense and act on your every thought."

It will grow stronger as you grow, and with its companionship and assistance in the battles to come, we will surely be invincible!

Yuan Bao looked at the luminous butterfly that had flown back to her side and was now circling around her affectionately. A smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes were full of anticipation for the adventures to come.

Having successfully won over the Glimmering Butterfly, Yuan Bao was filled with anticipation for the next battle, his body radiating an irrepressible excitement.

She walked briskly, eagerly stepping back into the trial hall.

Inside the hall, shouts of challenge and cheers from the audience echoed and reverberated, creating a fervent atmosphere of battle that instantly ignited Yuan Bao's passion.

She walked straight to the challenge list display area, her eyes eagerly searching for the next opponent among the densely packed names and information.

However, just as she was concentrating on making her selection, the system notification suddenly sounded: "The daily challenge limit has been reached. Players can only participate in one match per day. Please look forward to the next battle tomorrow."

Yuan Bao was slightly taken aback, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face, and his shoulders slumped involuntarily.

But she quickly composed herself, her eyes rekindling with fighting spirit, and murmured to herself, "It's okay, if I prepare well today, I'll definitely win tomorrow!"

After saying that, she took one last, reluctant look at the bustling training ground, turned around and stepped out of the hall, silently planning her challenge for tomorrow, hoping to shine brightly alongside the Glimmering Butterfly in tomorrow's competition.

Yuan Bao walked out of the trial hall with a heavy heart, filled with regret.

As she walked, she recalled Xiao 9's earlier reminder: "This 'Fighting Master Trial' is a temporary event that is open for a limited time. It may end in a few days."

Yuan Bao thought to himself, time is of the essence, and this opportunity is rare.

She wanted to take this opportunity to improve her practical experience and combat skills in order to win more rewards.

This event is undoubtedly a fantastic opportunity, and it would be a real shame to miss it.

In comparison, the inheritance missions of Medicine King Valley, while equally enticing, offer greater flexibility in terms of timing.

Therefore, Yuan Bao made a decisive decision to devote all his energy to the "Fighting Master Trial" first, and then focus on finding clues about Medicine King Valley after the event ended.

Yuan Bao took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and tried to calm his excited emotions.

The tension and excitement from the challenge dungeon were still lingering in her mind, but she had to put it aside for the time being.

With a soft flash of light, she successfully exited the challenge instance and returned to the familiar high school life scene in the game world.

Since Yuan Bao began casting the Mind-Cleansing Mantra repeatedly, the entire school seemed to be infused with a magical power, and the atmosphere was completely renewed.

The occasional restlessness and noise that once appeared have long since disappeared, and now the classroom is always filled with a strong learning atmosphere.

Whether it's the teachers diligently lecturing on the platform or the students listening attentively below, everyone is immersed in the ocean of knowledge, positive and motivated, and no one would want to cause trouble and disturb this tranquility and focus.

Yuan Bao thrived in this excellent learning environment.

With her photographic memory and exceptional intelligence, she has successfully taught herself all of high school mathematics.

At that moment, she gently closed her math textbook, her eyes sparkling with a thirst for new knowledge. Without hesitation, she opened her physics textbook, ready to climb to new heights of knowledge.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on her focused face and reflecting her resolute and confident expression.
