Qiao Sang: "???"
Although she knew Flame Class had an unusual status among students of Flame Heaven University, she was still quite taken aback seeing the otherâs change of expression.
At this moment, Mikaela spoke:
"Set aside the King Power Potion they gave us for now and let Jaclyn check it later."
Qiao Sang was momentarily dazed, then nodded: "Understood."
...
One hour later.
Pet Beast and Natural College.
A statue six meters tall, looking exactly like Shalala, stood amidst the greenery.
Its head slightly tilted upward, with a smiling expression, seeming to enjoy the surrounding environment.
Shalala, in the form of Fresh Bulrush, couldnât help but float over, reaching out a paw to touch.
"Bone Bone!"
A strict voice rang out.
Donât move!
Shalala, in the form of Fresh Bulrush, paused its movement.
Qiao Sang looked in response to the voice.
A black skull-headed pet beast with empty eyes harboring two clusters of dim red flames quickly floated over, glaring disapprovingly at Shalala, and called out:
"Bone Bone!"
Who allowed you to touch Shalalaâs statue!
Hey, hey, do you know who is before you... Qiao Sang held back the urge to speak.
Shalala sensed the otherâs apparent anger, was momentarily stunned, and then floated back.
The black skull-headed pet beast looked over, and upon seeing Qiao Sang, the dim red flames in its eyes flickered, revealing a scrutinizing expression before it snorted, tossing a bottle of potion over.
Qiao Sang raised her head, catching it with precision.
She picked it up and glanced at itâit was indeed the King Power Potion.
"Bone Bone!"
"Bone Bone!"
The black skull-headed pet beast called twice with dissatisfaction.
The King Power Potion has been brought, and thatâs Shalalaâs statue, the great and supreme being of Flame Sky Star, and itâs not to be touched!
Upon hearing this, Shalala showed a slightly bashful expression.
It was somewhat embarrassed by the praise.
"Xun Xun..."
Great and supreme being? Little Treasure Spirit floated beside Shalala in Fresh Bulrush form, poking it repeatedly.
It touched it just like that.
Shalala gave Little Treasure Spirit a helpless look but didnât move away.
The great and supreme being is right before you, you know... Qiao Sang internally quipped and said:
"Iâve received the King Power Potion. You can tell Xia Huo that he can come and ask me for Healing Light anytime."
"Bone Bone?"
The black skull-headed pet beast didnât leave right away but called out again.
Are you really 17?
Qiao Sang nodded: "Yes."
The black skull-headed pet beast immediately floated over, scrutinizing her with a curious gaze for several moments, then sighed:
"Bone Bone."
What a pity.
"What a pity?" Qiao Sang asked instinctively.
"Bone Bone." The black skull-headed pet beast called out.
Itâs a pity we missed our chance. If we had met sooner, I would have definitely formed a contract with you.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Does your Beast Tamer know what youâre thinking...
"I already have a Spectral-type Pet Beast," Qiao Sang said.
Meaning, even if I met you, I wouldnât form a contract.
The black skull-headed pet beast understood this, glanced at Little Treasure Spirit, and scoffed, calling out:
"Bone Bone."
How can someone who can only reach Emperor Level compare with me?
Qingbao beside it frowned in displeasure.
What does this guy count for? Little Treasure Spirit is already stronger than this so-called legendary pet beast, why canât it be compared?
It didnât say anything but the wind around inexplicably started to blow.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Spirit felt the sudden wind, was momentarily stunned, then looked in Qingbaoâs direction before akimbo and called at the black skull-headed pet beast, displeased.
Who says it can only reach Emperor Level!
The black skull-headed pet beast gave it a condescending look and turned to leave.
At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke:
"Bone Fire King, how about placing a bet?"
Bone Fire King, a Spectral Series King-level Pet Beast, its inner flames can scorch the soul of living beings, and importantly, it also possesses an ability similar to linguistic branding. Itâs said that the words it speaks are deeply remembered like a brand, and the pet beast influenced by the words is unconsciously affected by them, then trapped under those words for life.
Itâs like a psychological manipulation through language, controlling the targetâs spirit.
At first glance, she recognized the pet beast before her.
Honestly, she wasnât sure if the other had used such an ability.
However, finding out if the other had used such an ability was simpleâjust see if the target is affected by the words.
"Bone Bone?"
Bone Fire King turned around, calling out.
Bet on what?
"Bet on who will evolve to Emperor Level first between you and Little Treasure Spirit," Qiao Sang said.
"Bone Bone?"
Bone Fire King showed a puzzled expression, calling out.
Who is Little Treasure Spirit?
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Spirit floated a step forward.
That would be me!
Looks like Bone Fire King didnât use the linguistic branding ability... Qiao Sang felt relieved seeing Little Treasure Spirit still confident.
Bone Fire King was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and after laughing enough, it called out:
"Bone Bone?"
What are the stakes?
"Whoever wins can make a request of the other, how about that," Qiao Sang proposed.
"Bone Bone."
Bone Fire King called out cheerfully.
Alright.
After speaking, it gave Little Treasure Spirit a condescending look and then turned to leave.
Little Treasure Spirit pouted, angrily watching Bone Fire Kingâs departing back.
"Qingqing!"
Suddenly, Qingbao called from the side.
Beat it, Little Treasure Spirit!
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Spirit nodded vigorously.
It will!
They were united in their animosity, glaring at the departing Bone Fire King with great cooperation, as if they hadnât just been at odds.
