The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 40 Your Male King, Limitless "Arrogance"

"Five days..."

Yun Che counted the time on his fingers.

There is a cooling-off period for using seeds, plus rest and feeding. How can we make the most of this time?

"Chirp!" Kongkong got up from the ground, shook off the grass clippings on its body, and its eyes still held the excitement of the training just now.

After mastering the seed's effects, the little guy got used to this training method and ran to the side on his own. Using a thread, he rolled up a thick piece of dead wood and hung it on a tree, thus beginning his strength training.

Yun Che looked at the hardworking little guy and shook his head.

Don't press too hard; Kongkong has been quite self-disciplined enough.

Moreover.

If we really have to rank them, Kongkong's physical fitness has improved the most.

There are bottlenecks in improving skill proficiency, and in order to maximize efficiency, most people only start training skills after using the mastery seed.

Most of the remaining time is spent on basic training.

With the help of the Forced Forging Device, the Blue Pear Fruit, and the daily Energy Cubes, its strength alone has increased significantly.

Moreover, perhaps due to the "dragon transformation," the little guy seems to have no upper limit to growth, and he can reap rewards for his efforts. This may be one of the reasons why Kongkong is so enthusiastic about training.

In other words, he didn't have professional equipment to test it, otherwise he could have seen its progress more intuitively.

"Waaah~"

The iris peeked out from the shadows under the tree, yawned, and half-opened her eyes.

These past few days it has been absorbing the energy of the half-ghost. Although it is only a small wisp each time, it has accumulated little by little. The purple pattern on its neck is brighter than before, and the tip of its tail occasionally emits a faint purple light.

The dragon bone that originated from the Boiling Blood Crocodile, containing its hidden semi-ghost energy, was completely stripped away by Iris today.

As for the piece I got from Dr. Niu's research institute, I haven't touched it yet.

"Iris." Yun Che crouched down and reached out to stroke its head. "How are you feeling?"

"Ugh..." Iris squinted her eyes, rubbed her palm against his, then opened her mouth and gently exhaled a small cloud of black mist.

The black mist condensed in the air, but instead of dissipating, it slowly transformed into the shape of a palm-sized butterfly, flapped its wings twice, and then gradually disappeared.

Yun Che's eyes brightened slightly.

Putting everything else aside, Iris's "painting" skills have improved quite a bit.

"Woo~" The iris was also a little proud, its tail swaying gently.

...

Back in his dorm, Yun Che took a quick shower, then lay on his bed and opened his phone to browse the messages in the freshman group chat.

With the start of the new school term approaching, the group chat remains as lively as ever.

The most active one was undoubtedly Xiong Yuhe, who called to invite him to the group. He was always very polite to everyone and was always the first to answer questions from others.

Without a doubt, this guy's target is the class monitor.

The class monitor in college and the class monitor in high school are two completely different roles.

However, Yun Che didn't care too much. He had to work, take care of his pets, and help Dr. Niu with his research, so he didn't have much free time.

Besides Xiong Yuhe, there is another girl named "Qu Tingxue" whose profile picture is a fluffy white fox. She speaks in a lively manner and sends voice messages frequently.

She got along very well with everyone in the group, and even made plans with seven or eight people in the group to go for a walk around the campus together on the day of the report.

In addition, there is a boy named "Cao Siyue" who speaks very rudely and often shows off his pet beast, a Thundermane Wolf in the late stage of mutation, with a high-level extraordinary race, which has attracted a lot of discussion.

"Thunder Mane Wolf..." Yun Che silently repeated in his heart.

To be honest, he really is quite handsome.

Moreover, it has the rare lightning attribute.

"Chirp?" Kongkong leaned its head in.

What are you looking at?

"Nothing much." Having found no useful information, he simply put away his phone, took out the manual, and reconfirmed his training direction.

"grumble..."

Kongkong pouted and ran off to play with Iris.

After spending these days together, the two little ones have become quite familiar with each other and have been exchanging some thoughts and experiences.

The main point is that Iris asks Kong Kong about his training experience, and Kong Kong asks Iris about his experience in wilderness survival.

Sleepiness crept in.

Yun Che looked at the two little ones huddled together, "What have you been chatting about for so long?"

"Chirp!" Kongkong turned its head, pouted, and pretended to whistle.

"Woo~" The iris curled up, its tail trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Yun Che looked somewhat suspicious, but didn't think much of it, and yawned, saying:

"Kongkong turned off the light and went to sleep. She'll be busy tomorrow."

pat-

The room grew dim, and the breathing gradually became even.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"grumble?"

"Waaah..."

The two little ones raised their heads at the same time.

Kong Kong's eyes were filled with excitement, while Iris was full of hesitation.

...

The moon and stars are rare.

Under the cover of night, a lithe figure swiftly traverses the darkness, like a spirit of the night, elegant and agile.

On its back lay a light blue worm, clinging tightly to it.

"Chirp!" (Go go go!)

"Huh?" (Are you really... okay?)

These two extraordinary creatures were none other than Iris and Sky!

"Chirp~" (Of course, otherwise why do you think I'm the last one to get up every day? Don't worry, I know this place very well!)

Kongkong raised his head, took a breath of air, and then quickly lowered his head again.

"Ooh~" (So that's how it is~)

Iris looked enlightened.

"Chirp!" (Don't worry, I have a lot of experience in training, just listen to me!)

Kongkong patted Iris on the back like an older brother, appearing confident and composed.

Iris nodded.

His expression revealed a seriousness.

However, just as they were preparing to cross a forest area...

"Gah!!"

A sudden quack made Iris instinctively stop in her tracks.

They followed the movement and looked around.

On the calm river surface, a duck-like creature, about the size of a basketball and covered in light blue feathers, was staring at them with a serious expression.

Kongkong tilted his head to the side.

Eh?

Who is this?

It comes out quite often at night, and while it may not know all the pets at the Blue River Breeding Base, it knows at least most of them.

"Waaah..."

Sensing the gaze of that extraordinary duck-like creature, Iris's feathers stood on end, as if she were being watched by some dangerous being.

It couldn't help but look at the empty space.

"Chirp~" (Don't worry, I'll handle the negotiations.)

Kongkong jumped off the back of the iris.

"Chirp~" (Hey bro, it's one of us, our Ah Che is the zookeeper at the base...)

"Gaa!" (You're really strong!)

A faint light flickered in the eyes of that extraordinary duck-like creature, as if some kind of power was surging within them.

"Chirp!" (Not bad, not bad!)

Kongkong said it was alright, but his face showed no humility whatsoever.

"Gah!" (Let's fight!)

Upon hearing this, Kong Kong paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and then shook his head.

"Chirp~" (No, maybe next time.)

Ah Che had specifically instructed us not to use dragon-attribute skills or display dragon-attribute energy casually outside.

Although they now have a top-tier PhD as their endorsement, it doesn't mean they can act too high-profile; they still need to keep a low profile when necessary.

"Huh?" (Are you scared?)

"Chirp!" (Afraid! Who's afraid!)

Kongkong rolled his eyes.

"Chirp~" (How about this, we don't fight, we just compare strength, okay?)

"Huh?" (A test of strength?)

"Chirp? (￢з￢)σ" (Or are you scared?)

The little guy immediately turned the tables on him.

"Quack!" (Scared?! This duck king doesn't even know how to spell "scared"! Let's compete!)

...

After a while.

call--

A gentle breeze swept by, and a wind-demon salamander with its webbed wings spread wide landed on the riverbank. Lan Xiangya jumped off its back, looked at the ducks on the riverbank looking dejected, raised an eyebrow, and picked one up.

"I was only gone for a short while, what's wrong?"

"Gah...(｡•́︿•̀｡)" Ya Ya grabbed Lan Xiangya's clothes and recounted what had just happened in a very dejected tone.

After hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Lan Xiangya's face.

"Lost? The green velvet caterpillar?"

"Quack..." Duck nodded.

Lan Xiangya was filled with doubt.

Duck is her pet, and not just any pet.

This is a genuine king-level cub!

Even though he's a low-ranking monarch... he's not someone a green velvet worm could easily fool, is he?

And judging from Ya Ya's expression, he clearly accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

Lan Xiangya was surprised, but seeing Ya Ya's dejected look, she still comforted her:

"You're still young, and it's understandable that a mental-type being would lose a strength contest."

For extraordinary beings with spiritual attributes, physical strength is inherently a weakness.

The duck cried out in a tearful voice:

"Gah..." (I lost...)

...

The next day.

When Yun Che woke up in the morning, he looked at the system's notification and was full of questions.

Mission accomplished: Defeat Xiaoxia!

[Rewards: Green Aura Sash x1, Blue Special Branch Lychee x1, Green Strength Feather x5]

Yun Che: "???"

P.S.: There's more!
