Divine-grade Evolution: God! My Gold Fish Is A Dragon! - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 I’m a Good-for-Nothing
Ye Haoran stayed back and watched some matches. He was used to big events, so he didn’t feel anything.
In particular, a contestant’s Earth-Shattering Lizard released a skill and summoned a small meteorite from the sky, which awed the audience.
Ye Haoran pursed his lips as he grumbled internally, “A bunch of ignorant people. Haven’t you seen a real meteorite? The crater is still outside the city!”
After watching for a while, he felt bored, so he got up and left.
Due to students signing up for the
competition, Ye Haoran had no classes in the afternoon. So, he went home early to rest.
“Sigh. My life is so boring…”
Ye Haoran was lying on the bed dispiritedly. He was spread out on his bed like a starfish while he stuffed the remaining inner cores into his mouth.
It was a pity that the efficiency of these cores was too low. With the limited talent of his 1-star goldfish, even if he ate 10 inner cores, the effects wouldn’t be as good as when others ate one.
[Detected that the host’s cultivation speed is too slow. The following options are provided:] [Option 1: Stay up all night and meditate. Reward: You will receive 100% increased cultivation efficiency when cultivating at night.]
[Option 2: Sleep like a good-for-nothing. Reward: You will receive a small amount of spiritual power every time you sleep.]
Ye Haoran immediately sat up straight and stared at the two options.
Even though he often wasted his time, he still wanted to become a strong person.
Sleeping? Rest? No, only those who were
useless to society would rest, sleep, and waste time!
Ye Haoran naturally chose to be…a
good-for-nothing.
He lay on the bed, covered himself with the
quilt, and fell asleep immediately.
Since he could gain spiritual power just by sleeping, why should he work hard to cultivate?
He admitted that he was a good-for-nothing!
Ye Haoran woke up late in the morning and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
He felt that the amount of spiritual power in his body had indeed increased a little. Although the total amount was not much, it would accumulate after sleeping for more than ten days.
He thought to himself, “I’m a genius. I can even cultivate in my sleep.”
Ye Haoran couldn’t help but admire his wise decision. After eating, he slowly made his way
to school.
He walked into the classroom in the nick of
time and saw Su Chen, who was listening to the lesson attentively with his eyes wide
open.
Looking at the dense notes on his notebook,
Ye Haoran could not believe his eyes.
Had Su Chen, who was always last in the
class, changed?
” “Su Chen,
Ye Haoran whispered in his ear, you’re so serious. You look like a salesperson applying a screen protector on a phone by the
roadside.”
Su Chen gave him a sideways glance.
He sighed and said, “I have no choice. My dad said that if I don’t get into the top class in my
third year of high school, I have to stop schooling and go back to inherit the family business.”
Ye Haoran cursed under his breath, “Your father is an evil capitalist. You are an evil rich second generation! You could have led a life of filthy riches, yet you’re working hard here
instead!”
Ding!
Just then, he received a text message on his phone.
Ye Haoran clicked into it and saw that it was the schedule for today’s competition.
“Hello, Contestant Ye Haoran. Congratulations, you have entered the top 32
of the Year 2 division. You will be facing Li
Xiaoxiang from Beitong No.1 High School today. Please be prepared.’

In an instant, Ye Haoran’s mind was
completely focused on the competition. He could not remain in this classroom for another moment.
“Teacher, I’m going to the toilet!”
Ye Haoran waved his hand and planned to
escape.
The teacher on the podium glanced at him and gestured at him to go.
Ye Haoran quickly walked out of the classroom, humming a little tune as he walked along the corridor. He looked up and
saw Zhou Jianghai walking towards him. He exclaimed internally, “What the hell? Such
a coincidence!”
Ye Haoran hurriedly lowered his head and
tried to get away from him. However, Zhou Jianghai, who had sharp eyes, saw him and said, “Ye Haoran, where are you going?” “I’m going to the toilet for a while.” Zhou Jianghai stared at him calmly. After a
moment, he said, “Then, why are you carrying your school bag?”
Ye Haoran was caught red-handed.
“Go back to class. If you dare to play truant
again…Old Xu has told me…” Zhou Jianghai suddenly let out a strange laugh and whispered, “Ye Haoran, you don’t want everyone to know that you’re afraid of heights, do you?”
Ye Haoran immediately recalled the high-altitude tour yesterday and shuddered.
He hurried back to the classroom and put his head on the desk in melancholy.
The school’s motto was to thwart any plan
the students had.
After getting through the boring class, Ye Haoran arrived at the Spirit Hall early. While he was waiting for the match to start, the system’s options suddenly appeared. [Option 1: Steadily reach the top 16. Reward:
You will receive a large amount of spiritual power.]
[Option 2: Work hard to win the battles and
enter the top eight. Reward: You will receive 10 high-grade vicious beast inner cores.] [Option 3: Amaze the world with a single feat and win the championship. Reward: You will receive an opportunity for Bloodline Evolution +1. If you choose this option, you will receive
some spiritual power as a supplement from the system.]
Ye Haoran looked at the options and made his
decision. He would choose the most valuable opportunity for Bloodline Evolution.
Right now, he could only rely on his high spiritualist level and skill level to suppress his enemies in battle. His own basic attributes were still too low.
A contract spirit’s Star not only determined
its talent and cultivation speed, but it also determined its basic attributes.
A 5-star contract spirit’s basic attributes were around 100. A 1-star contract spirit with basic attributes of 30 would never be able to defeat a 5-star contract spirit of the same level.
As Ye Haoran selected the option in his mind, the host also went up onto the spirit battle stage.
The host introduced, “Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we’ll be welcoming the contestants who will be competing for a place in the Year 2 division top 16! Let’s welcome the contestants! Mr. Zhou, do you think your students will win this competition?”
The class teacher of Year 2 Class 3, Liu Fei, walked over and looked at the contestants’ information on the public screen. She said worriedly, “I heard that Li Xiaoxiang from Beitong No. 1 High School is a genius. Although he’s only a Level 6 spirit apprentice, he has a 5-star Black Turtle contract spirit. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to defeat him.”
Zhou Jianghai’s expression did not change. He replied calmly, “If we could predict the outcome in advance, what’s the point of competing? Let us wait and see. I still believe in my students.”
Although he said that, Zhou Jianghai’s heart was already beating like a drum.
Although Ye Haoran had already given him a lot of surprises, the former still only had a 1-star contract spirit after all. His basic attributes were too low.
If both of them were at the same level, Li Xiaoxiang’s chances of winning were indeed a little higher.
The form teacher of Class 3, Liu Fei, did not say anything. Instead, she quietly watched the competition that was about to begin.
She had long heard of Ye Haoran’s sudden rise to power. Today was a good opportunity for her to experience it in person.
The students from Class 5 were also watching the match intently as they discussed their chances of winning.
Su Chen was a little dejected. He didn’t listen to advice and signed up for the competition. In the end, he successfully became someone else’s steppingstone.
“Su Chen, is Ye Haoran going to lose?” asked one of his classmates.
Although Ye Haoran was usually unlikable for his evil deeds, his classmates’ strong sense of collective honor still made them hope that Ye Haoran would win the match.
“It will be difficult! There’s no hope given that they are of the same level.”
Su Chen shook his head. A 1-star contract spirit would definitely be crushed by a 5-star contract spirit of the same level.
“Is there a chance that Ye Haoran can make a breakthrough on the spot?” someone to the side of Su Chen said in disbelief.
Su Chen looked up and saw that Ye Haoran was on his way to the spirit battle stage.
With his hands behind his back, Ye Haoran strolled around as though he was taking a stroll in his courtyard.
A spiritual mist emanated from his body, and it surrounded him as if he was in a celestial
realm.
Su Chen was dumbfounded.
A sudden breakthrough? What kind of
stimulation did he receive to suddenly reach enlightenment?
The host was also stunned. He could naturally tell that Ye Haoran was about to have a
breakthrough.
There were no rules covering such a situation,
so the host had no choice but to ask the VIP
seats for help.
Half a minute later, the host received the order to wait for Ye Haoran to complete his
breakthrough.
In the audience, Zhou Jianghai’s eyes brightened. He had not expected Ye Haoran to
have a breakthrough during the match.
With a higher level, the gap between their basic attributes would be narrowed, and Ye Haoran would have a higher chance of
winning.
“Did he deliberately wait until now to have a breakthrough to make me lower my guard?” On the other side of the spirit battle stage, a young man with delicate features muttered to himself. His eyes were filled with the desire to
fight.
He was only treating today’s match as a mere interlude. His opponent might even admit
defeat.
After all, with his talent, he was aiming to be
champion.
To his surprise, Ye Haoran had a breakthrough on the spot. It was indeed impressive for him to reach Level 7 with a
1-star contract spirit.
A Level 7 spiritualist, even one with a 1-star
contract spirit, was qualified to fight him.
Ye Haoran stood calmly on the spot, trying to suppress the vibration of the spiritual power in his body.
The spiritual mist around his body gradually
thinned as he slowly converted it into spiritual power and absorbed it.
As he was gradually filled with spiritual
power, the bottleneck of his level was instantly broken, and a strange aura was emitted from his body.
He was now a Level 7 spirit apprentice!
The people in the audience were envious. Some people could only reach Level 7 by the time they took their college entrance examination in their third year of high school, but Ye Haoran had already reached it
in Year 2!
Moreover, he only had a 1-star contract spirit, the kind with terrible talent!
For a moment, everyone felt lost and useless.
Ye Haoran sensed the state of his contracted spirit. The little goldfish’s combat power had increased by a notch, and it had also learned a new skill.
As for how the little goldfish was able to comprehend three skills, it was beyond common sense. He automatically attributed this abnormality to the system.
Ye Haoran was no longer surprised at the
goldfish’s state. After all, it could even summon such a huge meteorite.
Ye Haoran looked at the host, indicating that
he had completed his breakthrough. The host declared, “Alright, both of you, get into positions. The match will officially
begin!”
