Li Cunxu came up with a plan. Since he couldn't guarantee that the atavistically reverted spiritual network virtual dragons would be female, he decided to revert more of them.

Since there are only two genders, male and female, the probability of atavistic reversion yielding a female dragon is half. By reverting more, surely one would be female.

As for the Space Ring contract position occupied by Slime, reverted into a spiritual network virtual dragon, it could be compensated with expansion resources. As the headmaster's pet beast, acquiring a few expansion items was a piece of cake.

The headmaster smiled and said, "Don't listen to the spiritual network virtual dragon."

The spiritual network virtual dragon was displeased upon hearing this. It wanted Li to bring over a few more of its future kin to share the workload, but instead of not doing it, the headmaster was stopping it from having children.

"Old man…"

The headmaster smiled with squinted eyes, like a benevolent tiger.

The spiritual network virtual dragon inexplicably felt weak. "Headmaster, why are you stopping me from having children? Even though my initial motivation for having them isn't great, as I want them to take over the work of maintaining the virtual arena, their birth could benefit society as a whole. They could expand the virtual arena's reach so that other schools could use it as well. If they expand a bit more, all the civilians could have access."

Li Cunxu thought to himself, "So this virtual arena is this guy's masterpiece. What a peculiar race."

The headmaster said earnestly, "You can't have children."

"I can, don't talk nonsense, I'm not a eunuch dragon."

The spiritual network virtual dragon blushed and loudly refuted.

A man can't admit he's impotent, and a dragon even less so.

"You really can't have children."

"I really can."

The headmaster sighed and said, "Then go ahead and have them! But don't say I didn't warn you. This world only allows one spiritual network virtual dragon to exist. It's either it or you, not both. You should understand the reason behind this."

The spiritual network virtual dragon instantly understood the headmaster's implication. It wasn't a pet beast meant for this era; only one was allowed as an exception.

Time doesn't allow for a second spiritual network virtual dragon.

"So, will you still have them?"

"I won't have them."

The spiritual network virtual dragon shook its head wildly, creating afterimages.

Comparing laziness and death, it feared death more.

The headmaster fiddled with a Space Ring and then tossed one to Li Cunxu.

"Inside is the blood of the already-extinct 'Antagonist Dragons.' Use it to mutate Slime!"

The Antagonist Dragon, Li Cunxu knew well.

If you rank the dragons in history, the Antagonist Dragon would be in the top twenty.

The Antagonist Dragon is a very special type of dragon pet. Their innate talent is fixed, called [Balance Opposite (Purple)], and they can easily master two opposing attributes.

For example, they could master water and fire, light and dark, death and life, time and space.

The Space-Time Antagonist Dragon, which masters time and space, is undoubtedly the most powerful among the Antagonist Dragons.

When opposing attributes collide, the power is catastrophic, so the Antagonist Dragons are very combative and have a particularly strong desire for destruction. They love causing trouble, which is exactly what made them so hated, eventually inviting their own doom. At some point, the strongest races in the pet beast world unanimously and tacitly began hunting the Antagonist Dragons.

Antagonist Dragons were on the brink of extinction but never quite disappeared.

The reason was that two Space-Time Antagonist Dragons kept secretly having children by roaming the River of Time on the Divine Guard Continent.

It was always like this, and the Antagonist Dragons couldn't be wiped out, but those two dragons just had to taunt the strongest races.

Not only Antagonist Dragons can master time and space; other pet beasts can too. Hence, during an ambush, those two Space-Time Antagonist Dragons fell, and without them secretly having kids, the Antagonist Dragons gradually became extinct under pursuit.

A fairy tale based on this extinction story was even included in Tongdu Primary School's curriculum, to teach students not to be too arrogant, no matter how gifted they are, even if they mastered the power of space-time.

Li Cunxu said, "Is it suitable to revert to the already extinct Antagonist Dragon? The strongest races that once wiped them out might become aware, possibly causing adverse effects."

"No worries, I have my plans."

The headmaster's eyes narrowed. Should the Antagonist Dragon be reverted, he planned to use this opportunity to test the attitudes of those strongest races in the pet beast world, to see if they remain neutral, lean towards humans, or have sided with the Four Gods Camp.

Li Cunxu used his Spiritual Power to check how much Antagonist Dragon blood was in the Space Ring.

The internal space of the Space Ring was ten cubic meters, filled with Antagonist Dragon blood.

Li Cunxu looked at the headmaster in confusion. Aren't Antagonist Dragons extinct? How could there be so much blood, more than you'd get from draining a hundred of them?

The headmaster noticed Li Cunxu's puzzlement and said, "It was found in a blood pool in an ancient relic. The owner of the relic wanted to use the blood of Antagonist Dragons for some experiment, but killed too many dragons and was cursed to death by dragon resentment."

Li Cunxu suddenly understood.

"Headmaster, could this ring be mine?" Li Cunxu shamelessly asked.

This was a permanent Space Ring, unlike his cheap space equipment which was time-limited and useless after expiration.

"It's yours, it's yours, and this is for you too."

The headmaster took a scroll out from the drawer and tossed it to Li Cunxu.

"What is this?"

The headmaster smiled and said, "You'll understand when you look at it at home."

Li Cunxu stuffed the scroll into his bag, rolling his eyes, then pulled on the dejected floating spiritual network virtual dragon beside him.

"Kid, don't touch me."

"Hmm?"

The headmaster softly hummed.

"Why are you pulling me?"

The spiritual network virtual dragon grumbled unhappily. Its mood was terrible, not being able to have children meant maintaining the virtual arena for life.

"You are the one maintaining the virtual arena." Li Cunxu knowingly asked.

"It's me, so what?"

"You want a pet beast to replace your work."

"Why are you asking that? Can you do it?" The spiritual network virtual dragon asked excitedly.

Li Cunxu dared not guarantee anything, as the headmaster's pet beast, the spiritual network virtual dragon's power must be terrifying. Deceiving it, even with the headmaster's protection, would lead to mischief. Li Cunxu candidly stated, "I can't, but I'd like to try using a Slime mutated from your blood to see if it gains your abilities."

"You want my blood, right! Go ahead, take as much as you want."

The spiritual network virtual dragon slit its arm, forcing out quite a bit of dragon blood into the Space Ring, and in just a moment, it became listless.

The spiritual network virtual dragon solemnly handed the ring to Li Cunxu.

"The ring is yours. You must mutate a Slime capable of replacing me."

"But sir, this is a matter of luck. I can't promise anything. If you say it like that, I dare not take it." Li Cunxu immediately retracted his hand.

"Take it. Even if you fail, the spiritual network virtual dragon won't blame you. Right, spiritual network virtual dragon?" said the headmaster.
