Chapter 7: The Race of the Iron-billed Sparrow and Red-clawed Eagle!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Anthony felt extremely regretful.
If news of him killing his student’s battle servant were to spread, he wouldn’t have to be a teacher anymore!
As a teacher, he had gone to kill his student’s battle servant. This matter would be despised everywhere!
Thus, he shouted to Su Bai: “Su Bai, hurry! Withdraw your Iron-billed Sparrow!”
1
Even though he felt that Su Bai’s Iron-billed Sparrow was dead for sure, he still hoped for a miracle to happen.
After all, if Su Bai’s battle servant really died, he would never be a teacher again!
However, Su Bai had a strange expression on his face when he heard Anthony’s words.
To be honest, he was caught off guard by the Red-clawed Eagle’s attack.
When he came back to his senses, he could no longer see the two battle servants.
After all, they were all flying-type beasts. After flying into the sky, they could not be seen at all.
And as an Iron-billed Sparrow of the Lower Iron-tier, it was definitely not a match for an Intermediate Bronze-tiered Red-clawed Eagle.
Su Bai was even prepared to lose this battle servant.
But now, he realized that the Iron-billed Sparrow’s connection with him was not interrupted!
In other words, the Red-clawed Eagle had yet to catch up to it!
How was this possible?!
There was a huge gap between them in strength!
Could it be…
A thought came up in his mind. He remembered the Iron-billed Sparrow’s talent—[Godspeed].
1
As expected of an Epic talent!
It had increased the speed of the Iron-billed Sparrow to an unbelievable level!
Although it was only in the Lower Iron-tier, it was so strong that even the Intermediate Bronze-tiered Red-clawed Eagle could not catch up!
1
To be honest, eagle-type beasts were not the fastest flying-type.
However, with such a huge difference in level, the difference was negligible!
After understanding this situation, Su Bai smiled.
He said lightly: “Heh, Teacher, you don’t have to worry.”
“Your Red-clawed Eagle can never catch up to my Iron-billed Sparrow.”
What?!
Su Bai’s words shocked everyone present!
What did Su Bai say?
He actually said that the Intermediate Bronze-tiered Red-clawed Eagle could not catch up a Lower Iron-tiered Iron-billed Sparrow?
Are you kidding me?!
After realizing this, the students started mocking Su Bai again:
“Su Bai, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“The two battle servants are nowhere to be seen. Maybe the Red-clawed Eagle has already caught your Iron-billed Sparrow.”
“I reckon it is pecking your Iron-billed Sparrow right now.”
2
“What a shame. You won’t even be able to work in the orchard anymore.”
…
Hearing his classmates’ sarcastic words, Su Bai did not argue with them.
The truth was the best evidence!
Su Bai stretched out his right hand and shouted: “Iron-billed Sparrow, come back!”
Swish!
Just as Su Bai finished commanding, a shadow descended from the sky and stopped a few meters away from the ground.
Next, it landed gently on Su Bai’s arm.
Seeing this scene and the mysterious bird, everyone was speechless.
Are you saying that this thing has an iron beak?
Wasn’t this a little too big?!
1
A few seconds later, another shadow descended from the sky and charged towards Su Bai.
“Red-clawed Eagle, withdraw!”
Anthony was shocked when he saw this situation and hurriedly called the Red-clawed Eagle back.
1
The Red-clawed Eagle glanced at the Iron-billed Sparrow on Su Bai’s arm unwillingly and returned to Anthony.
Its brain could not figure out why this weak sparrow could fly faster than itself!
Meanwhile, Anthony was flabbergasted by the Iron-billed Sparrow.
Wasn’t this battle servant flying too fast?!
The speed of the Red-clawed Eagle allowed it to fly hundreds of meters in five to six seconds!
Did Su Bai’s battle servant reach the speed of sound?
The field fell into silence.
Everyone knew that Su Bai’s battle servant was an Iron-billed Sparrow.
However, everyone had seen it last week.
It was only the size of a fist back then, but it had grown so big in just a few days?
What kind of drug did it take?
But if it weren’t a battle servant, how would such a huge ferocious beast rest on Su Bai’s arm so obediently?
This was completely impossible!
Teacher Anthony kept his Red-clawed Eagle and looked at the Iron-billed Sparrow for a long time.
Then, he asked in uncertainty: “This… is an Iron-billed Sparrow?”
To be honest, if not for the fact that the Iron-billed Sparrow was his battle servant, Su Bai would not have believed that it was an Iron-billed Sparrow.
One had to know that the largest Iron-billed Sparrow’s wingspan would not exceed 30 centimeters.
However, the one in his hand had a wingspan of one meter!
They were on completely different levels.
But since his teacher asked, Su Bai forcefully explained: “My Iron-billed Sparrow is a little different.”
“It might have the genes of other beasts.”
This couldn’t be helped. He couldn’t possibly expose his system, right?
Anthony nodded. That was a reasonable explanation.
The bloodlines of beasts were complicated. There were many instances where bloodlines were awakened, so he did not suspect anything.
“So Su Bai’s battle servant has really entered the Iron-tier?”
1
To be honest, Anthony felt a little fortunate.
Because as long as the students in his class reached the Iron-tier, he would get a bonus.
2
Previously, he had targeted Su Bai because he had not reached the Iron-tier and delayed his bonus.
1
And now that Su Bai had already reached the Iron-tier, his attitude towards him naturally became better.
1
Just as the matter was about to end and the relationship between Su Bai and Anthony was about to be eased, a voice sounded: “Teacher, I seriously suspect that Su Bai has borrowed his battle servant!”
1
“I request to investigate Su Bai!”
Su Bai turned around, the owner of the voice was none other than Parker!
