Chapter 485: Chapter 279: Xu Ran’s Targeted Sparring Partner_3

Xu Zhou and the staff member who was already in the room quickly stepped forward, restrained the struggling Kang Cheng, and pressed him down at one side of the ritual platform.

“Come with me.” Zhou Rong looked towards the Combat Badger, his voice softened a little, “Over here.”

Under Zhou Rong’s direction, the Combat Badger took steps, one by one, till it stood at the other side of the ritual platform.

“Combat Badger!” Kang Cheng’s expression turned slightly ferocious as he spoke, his voice filled with pleading and coaxing, “Will you come home with me?”

“I’ll treat you better from now on, just give me a chance, okay?”

Hearing Kang Cheng’s words, the Combat Badger’s face showed a hint of hesitation and struggle.

Noticing the change in the Combat Badger’s expression, Zhou Rong let out a small sigh in his heart, paused his preparations for the ritual, and looked at the Combat Badger, “Make your decision.”

“Whether to dissolve the contract with Kang Cheng, and be taken care of by the Starfire Foster Care Shop under the Association’s commission, or to maintain the contract with Kang Cheng and continue as his contracted partner.”

In the Combat Badger’s mind, the myriad comforts and carefree days at the Starfire Foster Care Shop quickly materialized, contrasting with the lingering depression and oppression that filled its heart day after day under the contract with Kang Cheng.

This, it seemed, was not a very difficult choice to make.

The Combat Badger’s gaze became resolute again, and it nodded vigorously in Zhou Rong’s direction.

“Squeak~”

The contract, it had to be dissolved today!

Understanding the Combat Badger’s intent, the last sliver of hope in Kang Cheng’s eyes dissipated. He fell silent, with anger and resentment seeming to brew in his eyes.

Reading the Combat Badger’s intent, Zhou Rong breathed a small sigh of relief and then without hesitation activated the ritual on the platform.

Accompanying a wispy special light that rose from the center of the ritual platform, like a long knife slicing through the middle of the Combat Badger and Kang Cheng, the invisible contract was cut apart.

In that moment, both the Combat Badger and Kang Cheng felt the contract that had bonded them melt away swiftly like snow under the warm sun.

Kang Cheng’s power plummeted at that moment.

The dissolution of his contract with the Combat Badger meant that he had lost the power reinforcement brought about by having a Pet Beast.

On the other hand, the moment the contract was severed, an intense Evolve Light suddenly burst forth from the Combat Badger.

The next moment, in full view of all, the Combat Badger’s body type began to grow quickly, and its aura climbed dramatically, breaking through from the Elite Stage to reach the Leadership Stage.

It had been an exceptional Pet Beast among those at the Elite Level, having reached the peak of the Elite Stage even before its contract with Kang Cheng, and in the past days, it had indulged in so many delicacies at the Starfire Foster Shop.

Now with the contract dissolved, the shackles that hindered its growth were also removed.

Unexpected yet reasonable, the Combat Badger advanced to the Leadership Stage.
