"I participated in the Phoenix Cup of Yandong Province, and my academic scores qualified me, so I came to the Imperial Capital to take this college entrance exam."

"The college entrance exam organized by the Imperial Capital is recognized by most schools, and the starting point is slightly higher than others."

After experiencing many things, Li Chen has matured greatly.

At this moment, he is no longer the naive young boy; he has completely grown up.

"Ye Bai, I've gone through a lot, and I've discovered that my talent can influence the King of Fighters Rabbit, even if it's only for five minutes, but it can change the whole battle."

"I might have awakened my talent again."

Li Chen said bashfully.

"Congratulations, your talent, if it can form a Fearless Aura, would be tremendously helpful in dealing with the Beast Tides."

Li Chen's talent is innate to the battlefield.

At this moment, Li Chen scratched the back of his head, "That's how I plan it, when we Pet Beast Masters go to university, we must once go to the borders to deal with wave after wave of Beast Tides."

"I have always hoped to contribute my last bit of strength for Flame Country, even if it costs me my life, I won't hesitate."

Li Chen chuckled honestly, his thoughts have undergone a severe transformation.

Now, in Li Chen's eyes, it's more about the righteousness of the nation and family.

"Haha, Li Chen, you've changed."

"But this change is indeed quite good."

"Cheer up, you can achieve success."

Ye Bai placed the grilled fish on a banana leaf and handed it to Li Chen.

Li Chen took the grilled fish from Ye Bai's hand and gave it to the King of Fighters Rabbit.

"Haha, I hope I can pass this exam and achieve good results."

Li Chen understood he was currently taking an exam, so he didn't let Ye Bai assist him.

Even though Ye Bai could improve his Pet Beast's strength.

He had a faint premonition that this might be the last meeting with Ye Bai.

Seeing each other again in the future, everything would be different.

"Your King of Fighters Rabbit is about to evolve."

"Defeat a few more Tier Four enemies, trust in the King of Fighters Rabbit."

"As for the Battle Pupa, it's about to evolve, keep it well-nourished."

After finishing the grilled fish, Ye Bai said a few more words to Li Chen before riding the Gale Fang Wolf.

"By the way, I just had a chat with you and didn't say anything else, please don't misunderstand."

"I'm executing a supervision task, remember, tonight you haven't seen me, otherwise it will cause you great trouble."

Ye Bai left with the Gale Fang Wolf, Li Chen's eyes lit up, he knew Ye Bai's words surely held great meaning.

If he obediently followed Ye Bai's instructions, both the King of Fighters Rabbit and Battle Pupa would evolve into Tier Four Pet Beasts, and his exam scores would steadily improve.

Originally, Li Chen had only been hoping to get into a 211 college, like the Imperial Capital Institute of Technology. Now, he was confident about aiming for a 985 college.

"Ye Bai, thank you for your final advice."

"King of Fighters Rabbit, Battle Pupa, we must be fearless in facing the enemy."

Ye Bai skillfully sold Li Chen a favor because Li Chen helped him a lot when he was struggling.

Moreover, he only gave Li Chen a harmless piece of information, which certainly didn't count as cheating.

After a day's journey, the Gale Fang Wolf finally reached the withered Jianmu passage.

The broken towering tree lay across the wilderness, its single leaf was dozens of times larger than the Gale Fang Wolf.

The bark was rough, covered in cracks, twisting and interweaving mid-air.

Despite the tree being broken, its trunk still soared into the clouds, its top even piercing the cloud layer, seemingly endless.

Surrounding it was a vast grassland, occasionally dotted with wildflowers, colorful and vibrant.

A gentle breeze passed by, softly rustling the grass, creating a sound like waves, rippling across the green sea.

This was the legendary Divine Tree — Jianmu.

It was the mythical tree believed to lead to the Divine Realm.

Yet, this towering tree, for unknown reasons, was cut down halfway.

The exposed roots were intertwined, each as massive as a skyscraper.

"How should I enter the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm through this enormous tree?"

Ye Bai stood dazed, wondering how he would find the passage into the Secret Realm through such a colossal structure.

Time was quickly running out for him.

The Emperor's Liquid was a significant opportunity; he had to arrive in advance and make necessary preparations.

However, he thought that the intelligence system had given him a hint.

That was to use a Wood Element Pet Beast; he could enter the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm through it.

The Wood Attribute Pet Beast with Ye Bai was the Sunflower Emperor.

"Come out, Sunflower Emperor."

When the Sunflower Emperor emerged from the Pet Beast Space and touched the remnants of the enormous tree, tears immediately fell from its eyes.

In no time, it soaked the entire ground, as the Sunflower Emperor immersed itself in the memories of the great tree.

It saw the ancient memories of the tree, from birth to growth to death.

The Sunflower Emperor saw the towering tree on the verge of attaining divine power, just before it was cut down by a flash of blade light.

It could feel the tree's unwillingness, anger, fear, and then its ultimate despair.

The Sunflower Emperor sensed the world's injustice.

In its heart, the tree seemed to come back to life.

At that moment, it felt as if it was the tree, and the tree was it.

At this moment, the Sunflower Emperor seemed to feel something calling out to it.

Who am I?

What am I doing?

Right, I'm the Sunflower Emperor, not the tree.

The illusion before its eyes gradually faded as the Sunflower Emperor saw Ye Bai appear in front of it.

"Sunflower Emperor, Sunflower Emperor."

Ye Bai hurriedly called the Sunflower Emperor, as it had severed its connection with Ye Bai while immersed in the tree's consciousness.

So when Ye Bai awakened the Sunflower Emperor, it looked at Ye Bai with a bewildered expression until their connection resumed, and it drove away the tree's memories.

It finally came to its senses completely.

The Sunflower Emperor recounted the events to Ye Bai in detail.

Ye Bai stroked his chin.

It seemed that the aura of the tree had a significant impact on Wood Element Pet Beasts; without caution, they could be transformed into its puppets.

"By the way, Sunflower Emperor, use Plant Enslavement to summon the Mandala Grass Emperor."

"There are some things I'd like to ask it."

The Mandala Grass Emperor had inherited memories and knew many secrets, particularly about the tree; perhaps it would know more.

The Sunflower Emperor had planted a slave mark in the Mandala Grass Emperor; with just a thought, it could summon the Mandala Grass Emperor.

This was a space-unrestricted summoning; no matter where the Mandala Grass Emperor was, it would be summoned by the Sunflower Emperor.

A moment ago, surrounded by countless little followers and basking in extreme pleasure, with a few beauties made of herbs dancing around it, the Mandala Grass Emperor was summoned and landed face-first in the dirt.

"Who is it? Who dares to toy with me, the great Mandala Grass Emperor?"

The Mandala Grass Emperor roared loudly, its body rapidly expanded, transforming into the form of a three-headed six-armed Asura.

Terrifying black energy swirled around the Mandala Grass Emperor, its presence intimidating.

But as soon as it saw the Sunflower Emperor wielding two sharp blades at its throat, the Mandala Grass Emperor's bluster immediately vanished.

It wore a sheepish grin while shrinking back to the size of a normal radish.

"Yun Luo, can you feel the presence of the tree here?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked the Mandala Grass Emperor.

Hearing Ye Bai's voice, the Mandala Grass Emperor shivered.

As soon as its feet touched the ground, memories of the tree appeared in its mind as well.

However, it recovered quicker than the Sunflower Emperor.

"The presence of the tree here nearly influenced me too; I was almost seized and turned into its puppet."

"Though verdant green, this place is a land of great danger."

The Mandala Grass Emperor said with a grave expression, noting that everywhere here was imbued with the life essence of the tree.

This life essence carried the mark of the tree; consuming it could unknowingly turn the consumer into the tree's puppet.

"Here, a Wood Element Pet Beast could easily succumb to the tree's presence, become assimilated, and become a part of its body."

"Every flower, grass, and tree here might once have been a Wood Beast, whose consciousness was taken by the tree."

It realized the seriousness of the situation, shivering involuntarily.

No one wants to become an unthinking puppet, eternally enslaved and controlled by others.

Though it was enslaved by the Sunflower Emperor's Plant Enslavement and would come at a moment's notice, at least it didn't have to report every day, just show up when needed.

In the Mandala Grass Kingdom, it was free to dominate and enjoy its pleasures.
