Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Not long after the giant-bellied toad entered the stink bug gu's burrow, sharp, piercing screams of insects echoed from within.

Before long, a foul-smelling poisonous gas began to leak from the hole.

Wang Xiao quickly moved far away to avoid being contaminated by the poisonous gas.

The battle inside the burrow seemed fierce, as the insects' cries grew increasingly frantic!

After a dozen or so minutes, the burrow fell silent!

A while later, the giant-bellied toad emerged from the burrow, seeking its master.

From a distance, Wang Xiao could already smell the stench emanating from the large toad, and he hurriedly issued a command through his mind: "Stop, don't come any closer!"

The giant-bellied toad halted, opened its mouth, and spat out a ball of mucus. Within the mucus, a gray beetle with golden markings was still struggling.

Wang Xiao instructed the giant-bellied toad to move back a little. He walked over, circulated his spiritual power, and unleashed a spirit technique towards the stink bug gu: "Subduing Gu Technique!"

The Subduing Gu Technique is a skill used to intimidate and subdue spirit gu.

When Wang Xiao had just transmigrated, his control over spirit gu was not yet proficient, leading to the toad gu mistakenly swallowing the campus belle, Yan Ruoyun. When the teacher, Li Nan, arrived, he used the Subduing Gu Technique, immediately subduing the large toad, preventing it from continuing to swallow the campus belle, thus rescuing Yan Ruoyun in time.

This shows how effective the Subduing Gu Technique is on spirit gu.

However, given the intelligence of spirit gu, it is almost impossible to directly subdue them and make them recognize a master.

The purpose of the Subduing Gu Technique is to instill fear in the spirit gu, thereby triggering the spirit gu's self-preservation mechanism.

Gu masters have summarized a rule regarding spirit gu: once a spirit gu is in a desperate situation or severely injured, it will trigger its biological self-preservation mechanism and enter a state of suspended animation.

In the state of suspended animation, the spiritual power within the spirit gu's body is released, solidifying to form an eggshell, protecting itself.

In this way, a spirit gu transforms into a gu egg.

In the gu egg state, the spirit gu can both evade powerful enemies and accelerate its self-healing. If left unattended, it will automatically hatch after a period of time and then escape.

However, if the gu egg falls into the hands of a gu master, the spirit gu inside will have no hope of escape!

The gu master will use a "Blood Pact Seal" to make it recognize them as its master, signing an unbreakable master-servant contract!

Now, Wang Xiao's use of the Subduing Gu Technique is aimed at forcing the stink bug gu into the pupation state.

As the Subduing Gu Technique was used, the struggling stink bug gu immediately froze, completely still!

Following the method taught at school, Wang Xiao did not stop and continued to release the Subduing Gu Technique!

Once!

Twice!

Three times!

… …

After using the Subduing Gu Technique seven times, the spiritual power within Wang Xiao's body was exhausted. He had no choice but to once again mobilize the spiritual power of the giant-bellied toad to temporarily enhance his own spiritual power!

Continue using the Subduing Gu Technique!

Eighth time!

Ninth time!

… …

Finally, after the fifteenth Subduing Gu Technique was used, a burst of spiritual power suddenly erupted from the stink bug gu's body. This spiritual power condensed and did not dissipate, forming a cloud of mist, enveloping the stink bug gu inside.

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and stopped using the spirit technique.

He knew that things were done, and the stink bug gu had begun to enter the pupation state!

He no longer paid attention to the stink bug gu and went to the side to dig a pit, letting the giant-bellied toad jump in, and then buried it to remove the foul smell from its body!

Don't worry about the spirit gu suffocating in the soil. The vitality of combat-type spirit gu is extremely strong. Even if sealed in a vacuum, without eating, drinking, or breathing, they will enter pupation and will not die for a long time.

There were even gu masters who, when excavating ancient ruins, found sealed spirit gu in bottles. After thousands of years, some gu eggs were still alive!

After burying the giant-bellied toad, Wang Xiao went to observe the stink bug gu again.

After a little over half an hour, the external spiritual energy of this stink bug gu solidified, and a fresh gu egg was born.

Wang Xiao immediately bit his finger and inscribed a "Blood Pact Seal" on the gu egg!

As the spirit gu hatches, this stink bug gu will never be free again. Even wanting to fart will require the master's permission first!

While waiting for the giant-bellied toad to deodorize, Wang Xiao opened the data panel to check his growth in the ten days since entering the secret realm.

Potential: Three Stars

= = = = =

Wang Xiao's own spiritual power increased from Level One (12%) to Level One (25%).

An increase of 13% in ten days is not slow.

If he were to cultivate on his own, it would take more than a month to increase this much.

But a few days ago, he collected a spirit herb in the hilly area that could increase spiritual power, and ate it on the spot, which greatly increased his spiritual power.

The giant-bellied toad did not change much!

He subdued a new stink bug gu!

This stink bug gu has a three-star potential, which means it can evolve three times in the future. Its final potential can grow into a gold spirit gu, which is one level lower than the giant-bellied toad.

Just this one level difference means that the stink bug's cultivation value is far inferior to that of the giant-bellied toad.

Now, Wang Xiao has already begun to consider the evolutionary direction of the giant-bellied toad.

The system provides two evolutionary routes:

1. Giant-Bellied Toad --- Poison Burst Toad --- Poison King Golden Toad --- Poison Spirit Golden Toad;

2. Giant-Bellied Toad --- Giant-Bellied Water Toad --- Thunderous Golden Toad --- Thunderous Hell Golden Toad.

These are two completely different evolutionary routes.

The first evolutionary route will transform the giant-bellied toad from an air attribute to a highly poisonous attribute, with the fighting method of using highly poisonous substances to attack enemies.

The second evolutionary route will transform the giant-bellied toad from an air attribute to a lightning attribute, allowing it to control the power of lightning to attack enemies!

Without discussing which one is stronger or weaker, the key point is that in the world of gu masters, there are countless spirit gu of the highly poisonous type, while spirit gu of the lightning type are extremely rare.

Therefore, Wang Xiao considered it slightly and decided to let the giant-bellied toad take the lightning-type evolutionary route.

As for how this toad evolves from an air attribute to a lightning attribute, the system's explanation is: the friction between air and water will form lightning…

Wang Xiao was speechless at this very scientific explanation!

Wang Xiao also asked the system about the evolutionary route of the stink bug gu.

The only specialty of this spirit gu is farting stink gas, and it is useless in other aspects!

It only has one evolutionary route, which is to continuously strengthen the power of the foul-smelling poisonous gas.

It can be foreseen that if the quality of the stink bug gu is raised to the gold level, and then the level of the spirit gu is raised, then the poisonous gas released will be a large-scale biochemical poisonous gas, simply detested by gods and abandoned by ghosts!

At that time, even gu masters who are several levels higher would not dare to provoke Wang Xiao easily.

Twenty-four hours later, the stench of the giant-bellied toad was completely removed. Wang Xiao dug it out and, taking the two spirit gu with him, continued his treasure hunt.
