Back home.
Xu Zhou opened the bedroom door, and a rush of beastly scent hit him in the face.
Inside the bedroom, a steel beast stood, 1.5 meters tall and 2 meters long, crouching on the floor.
Its feathers covered its body down to the tail, displaying a dark golden metallic sheen, with its wings spread out like an armored machine, exuding a powerful aura.
This is the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast now.
After a month of frenzied growth, its weight has soared to 358.5 kilograms!
Looking at the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast taking up half the room, Xu Zhou sighed softly.
"This guy is getting bigger and bigger. If it keeps growing, this room won't be able to fit it anymore," Xu Zhou lamented.
He had previously told his parents and sister not to enter his room.
So, for now, his family had not discovered the terrifying beast inside his room.
Fortunately, his avatar does not excrete; all the food is converted into nutrients, otherwise, the waste would also be a major problem.
At this moment, Xu Zhou became even more determined to send the avatar into the Thousand Demon Cave.
Otherwise, if it continued to stay in this room, it would undoubtedly cause problems sooner or later.
"How should I send it to the Thousand Demon Cave?" Xu Zhou was a bit troubled.
If others saw this mutant beast, they might get scared and immediately call the police.
By that time, he wouldn't even know how to explain it.
Should he say it's his pet?
After a while, Xu Zhou shook off these thoughts and began feeding the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast.
He poured the food he bought today into a large basin.
The Saber-toothed Dragon Beast opened its big mouth, picked up a piece of beef brisket from the basin, and its four 20 cm long saber teeth crushed the entire piece of brisket.
"Crunch crunch!"
It continued eating, and before long, all the food was gone.
"Ugh... Burp!" Finally, the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast let out a satisfied burp.
[Rank +16%]
[Qi-Blood +0.4 Cal]
——
The weight of the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast increased by another 10 kilograms.
Feeling the warmth rising within, Xu Zhou's lips curled into a smile.
Although the size of the avatar was troubling, the continual enhancements it brought were truly satisfying to him.
"Xu Zhou, come out for dinner." At this time, Li Ruoxi knocked on the door from outside.
"Coming."
Xu Zhou got up and went out.
...
Tonight, his parents didn't come home, so Li Ruoxi took up the role of the chef once again.
In the living room, the aroma of delicious food filled the air, with four dishes on the table: gold-foil pork chop, sweet and sour pork, cumin beef, and tomato egg soup, all exuding a delightful scent.
Watching this, Xu Zhou's appetite piqued, and he picked up a bowl of rice and started eating voraciously.
Sitting beside him, Li Ruoxi glanced at him, seeing him eat so engrossed, her rosy lips couldn't help but curl slightly.
After Xu Zhou had eaten halfway, Li Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Have you ever fought with virtual mutant beasts?"
"Virtual mutant beasts?" Xu Zhou was slightly stunned.
"You can enter the virtual pod at school to fight virtual mutant beasts," Li Ruoxi looked at him, "Didn't I mention it to you last time?"
"Oh," Xu Zhou realized, then shook his head, "I've been busy cultivating combat techniques this month, haven't gone there yet."
"Idiot," Li Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you know the fastest way to improve combat techniques is through actual combat?"
"Practicing in vain isn't useful; fighting with virtual mutant beasts is the most effective way to enhance your power."
Her voice was cold, "Though your power is at the bottom rank of the Dragon and Tiger list, it's far from enough to survive in the Thousand Demon Cave."
Xu Zhou felt helpless; his sister was starting again.
"Don't take it lightly," Li Ruoxi met his gaze with her beautiful eyes, "Right now, you're still far from the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger list."
Xu Zhou shook his head and laughed, "Sis, you're overestimating me, comparing me with the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger list."
He was only a high school freshman!
However, Li Ruoxi was right, the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger list not only had Qi-Blood exceeding 130 Cal but their combat techniques had generally surpassed the third tier.
Moreover, the top ten were mostly at the A-level talent, and their 130 Cal in Qi-Blood differed entirely from an average person's 130 Cal.
Xu Zhou's current Qi-Blood was at 91 Cal, equivalent to about 120 Cal of an A-level talent, and his combat style was only at the peak of the second tier.
Indeed, there was a considerable gap compared to them.
Take Li Ruoxi for instance, Xu Zhou still couldn't gauge her depths.
As his strength increased, he became increasingly aware of the astonishing combat power hidden beneath Li Ruoxi's cold exterior.
If they were to engage, he might be defeated by Li Ruoxi in just two moves.
"I don't expect you to reach the level of the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger list."
Li Ruoxi's almond eyes focused intently on Xu Zhou, "But at least...you can fight alongside me, right?"
"Don't end up getting weak at the knees the moment you see a mutant beast."
Xu Zhou remained silent; was she worried he might be a burden?
"Okay, I'll follow your advice," Xu Zhou promised, "I'll go check out the virtual pod tomorrow."
He was a bit curious too, could mutant beasts really be that fierce?
His Saber-toothed Dragon Beast was already over 300 kilograms, yet it was like a baby.
...
The next day, after reaching school, Xu Zhou unusually didn't head straight to Cao Yong's office.
After reviewing his lessons for two hours in the classroom, he stood up, planning to head to the virtual pod.
Just then, Cao Yong called from the doorway: "Xu Zhou, come here."
Xu Zhou was taken aback but walked over, saying, "Teacher, I won't be coming to your office today; I want to check out the virtual pod."
"To the virtual pod? Let's talk later," Cao Yong didn't ask much and continued, "Come with me, someone wants to see you."
