Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Ziyun vs Flame Fox 1

Translator: 549690339 |???? —

After scheduling their sparring match, Xu Ran checked the time and once again returned to the grooming room to start the next step of washing and protection work for the Green Wind Eagle.

Having satisfied its insistence to spar with Ziyun, the Flame Fox ceased making a fuss. It hopped out from Su Xiaoxiao’s arms and strutted elegantly into the lounge. After switching on the TV with a paw, it leaped onto the soft sofa.

Moreover, it clawed up a bag of snacks and casually spewed out a small bunch of flames to bum open the sealed part of the snack bag, and then used its claws to deliver the snacks to its mouth.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao showed no surprise. Apparently, she had long been accustomed to this little ancestor’s remarkable adaptability at home. So, she sat next to the Flame Fox, picked up another bag of snacks, and joined it in watching the TV.

The Flame Fox glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and moved over reluctantly with its big tail, leaving more space for her.

Ziyun was still lying on the counter with its front paws tucked into its chest.

But it changed its orientation, attracted by the Flame Fox. It stared at the Fox’s relaxed gestures in a daze, apparently having never seen such an odd scene.

As it watched, it was gradually moved, envisioning a scene where it and Xu Ran sat together on the sofa, watching TV and eating snacks.

Time passed by the second, and soon the tightly closed door of the grooming room was opened again, causing the person and two pets outside to stop their actions.

“Xiaoxiao! Look at my Green Wind Eagle!” Lin Yue rushed out of the grooming room the first time, her voice full of excitement.

On her shoulder stood a majestic eagle about one meter tall. Its green feathers were so smooth under the light that they almost shone.

The Green Wind Eagle was not known for its beauty, but its dominating appearance took on a sublime aspect under Xu Ran’s perfect grooming.

Its chest feathers were dense and smooth, and the edge of each feather on the spread wings was as sharp as a blade. Its originally nimble stature appeared more robust after the grooming. And while the Green Wind Eagle was still a youngling, it already had some of the dominant demeanor of the sky.

For Lin Yue, the most shocking thing was the miraculous transformation of her pet beast had happened right under her eyes.

Though the process was strange, the result showed that the owner of this store was really amazing!

“Wow!” Su Xiaoxiao could not help exclaiming when she saw the imposing Green Wind Eagle. While she had confidence in Xu Ran’s skills, she never expected the Green Wind Eagle to be so astonishing after grooming.

However, Su Xiaoxiao sighed afterwards. “It’s a pity, if you had come with me at midday, you might have gotten a spot in the competition.”

“Yeah, it’s a bit of a shame. But we’re only freshman; we still have chances!” Lin Yue was very optimistic. “Since you don’t need grooming anymore, let’s go home. I want to give my parents a good surprise.”

As she said this, Lin Yue couldn’t help showing an expectant look.

”Uhm… A Yue, I might have to wait a little longer.” Su Xiaoxiao pointed to Xu Ran who was sorting out the grooming room. “I made an agreement with the boss to have a sparring match later.”

Lin Yue: “Eh?!”

“Come on, come on! Go, Xiaoxiao!”

Outside the battle stand, Lin Yue was waving her hands with excitement all over her face.

Learning that Su Xiaoxiao and Xu Ran were going to spar, she naturally was not in a rush to go home.

On the twenty-meter-long beginner’s battle stand, Xu Ran and Su Xiaoxiao stood facing each other, with a burly man as the referee standing in between. Such a professional arena was not found casually. Not far from Xu Ran’s store, there was a place named Tianhong Stadium that provided rented battlefields and professional referees, meeting all the needs of Beast Masters for sparring. “Both sides, ready!” The burly man shouted, taking a look at the two people on the battlefield. “Whoever admits defeat actively or loses his ability to fight will be declared defeated. I will count down from three, and then the match will start!”

“Three…”

“Ziyun, stand there. Get ready to fight!” Xu Ran pointed to a circular area in front of him, which was the ready battle area for pet beasts.

Meow- (Watch me!)

Recently awakened to become a Transcendent Being, Ziyun was full of energy. From Xu Ran’s foot, it made a light leap into the circle, arching its back slightly. Its heterochromatic eyes slowly narrowed to the size of needle tips, swallowing the sight of the Flame Fox in the distance like an abyss.

“Crack…Crack…”

Supernatural energy surged rapidly in its body, the involuntary leakage of power causing the crisp sound of electric arcs piercing through the surrounding air.

On the other side, the Flame Fox refused to be outdone. It gently dropped from Su Xiaoxiao’s arms into the ready battle area, lifted its head high, and raised its fluffy tail like a cloud mist. Flame torrents rotated around it.

“Roar…Roar…”

The rapidly heating air swelled in all directions, displacing the colder air farther away, stirring up a rolling heat wave accompanied by a low rumbling sound.

After undergoing the Washing and Protection, the Flame Fox felt better than ever.

Now, it was at the peak of its power!

It wanted to prove with a clean and decisive victory that the Fire Attribute is stronger than the Thunder Attribute!

“Two…”

“One…”

“Let the battle begin!”

The referee shouted and rapidly retreated, giving the central area of the battle stand to the two Pet Beasts about to clash.

The battle commenced the moment his voice fell!

“Ziyun, use Electric Arc!”

“Meow-”

Understanding completely, Ziyun burst into action instantly, moving so fast it left afterimages in the air, and the crackling Electric Arcs emerged on its path. In the blink of an eye, it had charged a five-meter distance, rapidly closing in on the Flame Fox.

Two-Star Skill, Stardust Level – Electric Arc!

“Wow, it’s so fast!” exclaimed Su Xiaoxiao before quickly regaining her composure, “Little Flame, use Flame Wall!”

“Roar-”

The Flame Fox narrowed its eyes into slits, watching the figure rapidly closing in on itself, and instantly spewed out a spiral exploding flame.

That raging flame interweaved rapidly in the air, forming a flame wall three meters wide in front of the Flame Fox within a moment!

Two-Star Skill, Stardust Level – Flame Wall!

Frightful heat waves surged in all directions at that moment, leaving no doubt that merely touching the Flame Wall could inflict terrifying burns.

Ziyun’s movements came to an abrupt halt, revealing a hint of hesitation in the face of the high temperatures hurtling toward it.

Fear of fire is a natural instinct of ordinary beasts. Having just become a Transcendent Being, Ziyun hadn’t completely shaken off its old habits. Plus, lacking experience in battling other Pet Beasts, it faltered at this moment. Fortunately, Xu Ran reacted quickly.

“Ziyun! Electric Spark!”

The Beast Master’s instructions echoed instantly in its mind through the Beast Taming Contract. Ziyun quickly snapped back to reality, and a purple light brewing thunder converged in its mouth before it spewed it at the overwhelming flames before it!

“Boom—”
