Li Cunxu looked at the little white spider eating explosive popcorn on the field, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Being very familiar with the little white spider, Li Cunxu guessed the reason it was doing this; probably influenced by some book.
A book is not only a vessel of knowledge but also a carrier of other people's thoughts.
Just like someone who loves sweet tofu will describe it as delicious in their stories while portraying salty tofu as heresy, and vice versa for someone who prefers salty tofu.
Adding to this, the opponent did not put enough pressure on the little white spider, making it even less interested in the battle it already didn't care about.
The little white spider softly said, "Such a disobedient Little Dragon."
The little white spider pointed a finger towards the Rock Flying Dragon.
"Spider silk bind."
A bundle of spider silk appeared from thin air near the Rock Flying Dragon's mouth, tightly binding it shut.
The roar of the Rock Flying Dragon immediately ceased.
The little white spider continued happily eating popcorn.
The popcorn still had the same flavor, unchanged, yet somehow it was much more fragrant.
Li Cunxu didn't stop it, after all, they agreed before the match that the little white spider would control the entire game.
To allow each pet beast in the team to appear once, excluding the extremely small crystal dragon, but not every pet beast was willing to go on stage, and the little white spider was reluctant.
The little white spider's species is the Xiaohong Spider, which is naturally belligerent and cruel, not even sparing its own siblings, but as a mutant Xiaohong Spider, the little white spider seems to be the opposite.
Neither cruel nor fond of fighting.
To get it to battle, Li Cunxu had to coax it onto the stage.
Even so, the little white spider was still quite unwilling to participate, as it would interrupt its research time.
The more it researched, the more it influenced the world, hence earning more destiny points.
Accumulating destiny points felt as soothing as a full-body massage, and the little white spider became addicted to that sensation, making it especially keen on earning destiny points.
"Showing up in the Gold Tournament, being watched by billions, isn't this influencing others' destinies? By stepping into the arena, you could earn lots of destiny points."
Li Cunxu said this, and only then did the little white spider put down its pen, willing to participate.
Perhaps sensing Li Cunxu's gaze, the little white spider turned around to see Li Cunxu glaring at it.
The little white spider realized that the master was angry, blaming it for not sharing.
The little white spider reached into the void, and a spider silk-braided bag appeared in its hand, which it filled with popcorn.
Its spiritual power levitated it.
The little white spider crossed its legs, piloting its Spider Silk Throne into the air, flying over to Li Cunxu and handing him the bag full of popcorn.
Li Cunxu was completely speechless.
In the Gold Tournament, you are the first to display such a relaxed demeanor.
"I'm not eating."
"Just try it, it's really tasty."
Seeing the little white spider's earnest expression, Li Cunxu skeptically grabbed a couple to try.
"It's just ordinary, what's so tasty about it?"
The little white spider said, "Tilt your head up 45 degrees, then try it again."
Li Cunxu replied, "This is a competition, very serious, go back and fight."
The little white spider said in a slightly coaxing tone, "Just try it."
Li Cunxu reluctantly tried it, what could he see at a 45-degree angle?
A dense crowd, just a sea of people.
Then, Li Cunxu tried two more pieces of popcorn, tossing them into his mouth.
"Huh? Strange, how did the popcorn really become delicious?"
Then, Li Cunxu cast a questioning glance at the little white spider.
"Did you add seasoning while I was looking away?"
The little white spider had a habit of concocting some extremely delicious poisons to taste, hence it even created slightly toxic cuisine.
Cooking particularly tasty poison dishes, because of the poison, the dish became exceptionally delicious, but as it was slightly toxic, it couldn't poison Li Cunxu.
The little white spider is a poison-type pet beast, its growth feedback enhanced Li Cunxu's poison resistance.
Currently, Li Cunxu's poison resistance is one percent of the little white spider's, so mere slight toxins wouldn't harm Li Cunxu.
The little white spider said, "No, it's the venue that made the popcorn tastier."
Li Cunxu glanced at the audience once more, noticing the crowd watching him eat popcorn, instinctively grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.
Surprisingly, being watched by so many people, the popcorn did taste better.
What kind of principle is this?
While the little white spider shared popcorn with Li Cunxu, the Rock Flying Dragon was still tearing at the spider silk.
The Rock Flying Dragon attempted to open its mouth wide to snap the silk, but however hard its dragon muscles strained, the silk remained unbroken.
The Rock Flying Dragon glanced over, noticing the little white spider had not attacked it and continued tearing at the silk.
The Rock Flying Dragon gripped its hand, condensing a heavy and sharp stone blade, trying to cut the silk; it even bled from its mouth, yet the silk didn't snap.
The Rock Flying Dragon ran out of ideas and turned pitifully to seek help from its Beast Master, Qi Feilong.
Qi Feilong almost lost his words in anger; how could tiny spider silk trouble you?
"Enlarge, you fool."
[Enlarge] is a skill opposite to [Shrink], shrink makes the body smaller, while enlarge makes it bigger.
Many dragons can learn to enlarge naturally without seed skills, as dragon-heritage knowledge includes much related to enlargement.
Dragons don't enlarge their bodies for battle, but because dragons are inherently inclined, enlarging the body ensures that part grows accordingly.
The Rock Flying Dragon enlarged, the silk around its mouth stretched tighter and tighter, about to snap, but ultimately it didn't.
The Rock Flying Dragon's mouth was cut and bled, but the silk didn't break.
Qi Feilong realized, this won't do.
What if the silk couldn't be snapped?
Qi Feilong thought of another way.
"Rock Flying Dragon, use shrink."
The Rock Flying Dragon shrank, loosening the silk.
Its body shrank, but the silk shrank along with it; the Rock Flying Dragon, unwilling to suffer from the silk's bite, had to shrink back to its previous small form again.
This time, the Rock Flying Dragon couldn't return to its original size.
Qi Feilong frowned, saying, "Use the Earth Emperor Dragon's rock armor."
The Rock Flying Dragon wrapped itself in a layer of rock armor, yet the part tied by silk was left uncovered.
At the same time, this skill triggered the earlier [Earth Emperor Dragon's Roar] mark, and an Earth Emperor Dragon Illusion emerged.
Qi Feilong said, "Rock Flying Dragon, have the Earth Emperor Dragon Illusion remove the silk."
The Earth Emperor Dragon, having the divine power to lift a continent, thus its illusion possessed immense strength.
The Earth Emperor Dragon Illusion began pulling, the Rock Flying Dragon retreated, and both forces exerted together.
Yet the outcome remained unchanged.
The silk still tightly bound the dragon's mouth, unmoving.
Qi Feilong rubbed his temples in frustration, puzzled at how the solemn and globally watched Gold Tournament turned into this.
We're here pulling silk, becoming a tug-of-war match, while on the other side... Um, the pet beast is sharing popcorn with its Beast Master.
