The purple energy sphere came into contact with the approaching flame wall and then violently burst, turning into dazzling purple electric sparks.

These electric sparks held immense power, clashing with the flames and causing windstorms in the arena.

Accompanied by harsh rumbling sounds, the two powerful forces demolished simultaneously, stirring up endless dust.

“Ziyun, use Electric Arc, and prepare for Claw Edge!” Following Xu Ran’s command, Ziyun shot up into the air, leaving a trail in the sky. Ziyun rushed headfirst into the dust, while its front paws were faintly shimmering with energy, seemingly mustering power for a final decisive attack.

One Star Skill, Stardust Level-Claw Edge!

“Meow!!!”

Ziyun’s unique pupils dilated at this moment, filled with sharp lights. Ziyun looked like a natural predator about to shred its prey!

“Little Flame, Fire Eye! Get ready for Flame Dance!” Almost immediately after Xu Ran issued the command and Ziyun responded,

Su Xiaoxiao, on the other side, saw the dust filling the sky and cried out with excitement, rather than fear.

“Squeak—”

The nonchalant response from the Flame Fox echoed from the dust. The next instant, two bright flames suddenly appeared within the dust obscuring the view.

No, those were not flames, but eyes!

One Star Skill, Stardust Level-Fire Eye!

Effect, enhanced vision!

Having seen Ziyun’s actions clearly, a hint of mockery flashed in the Flame Fox’s eyes amid the dust. In the following moment, countless flames circled around it. With a light press of its front paws on the ground, a pillar of fire suddenly rose from beneath Ziyun’s body, engulfing it!

Two Star Skill, Stardust Level-Flame Dance!

“Meow—”

Ziyun let out another low meow, but unlike its previously high-spirited voice, this one was mixed with pain.

The dust quickly scattered under the turbulent heat wave, revealing Ziyun lying there, with its fur slightly scorched and its face in shambles.

On the other side, the Flame Fox proudly raised its head, like a victorious general, its pair of eyes with golden eyeliners were full of triumph.

“Ziyun!” Xu Ran rushed forward and carefully picked up Ziyun. Feeling that the little guy’s body didn’t suffer too much damage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Boss, let me cover the medical fees!” Su Xiaoxiao picked up the Flame Fox and proposed with a somewhat embarrassed face.

She didn’t hold back because it was a fight, but since it was her pet beast who started the face-off, she felt a bit guilty at the moment seeing Xu Ran’s pet beast got hurt.

-No problem, I can afford the small medical fee.” Xu Ran waved his hand, rejecting Su Xiaoxiao’s proposal, then turned to the approaching referee, “Excuse me, where is the infirmary?”

“Over there.” The referee smiled and seeing the concern in Xu Ran’s eyes, he comforted, “Such wounds won’t cost much and can be healed in a few minutes.

Don’t worry.”

As a rented battle training ground for Beast Masters, Tianhong Stadium naturally provides accompanying medical services.

These services are performed by pet beasts specialized in healing. Not to mention wounds like Ziyun’s – as long as there is still a breath, they can quickly revive you.

“Okay.”

Getting directions from the referee, Xu Ran ran to the infirmary holding Ziyun. Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yue followed along, worried.

As the referee said, the treatment did not take much time.

About five minutes later, Ziyun had returned to its original state after receiving treatment from a pet beast that looked like a large mushroom. Even its scorched fur had grown back.

And the treatment fee was only one thousand, which was cheaper than Xu

Ran’s washing and protection service.

“BOSS, Lin Yue and I will head back first!” Seeing Xu Ran’s pet beast recovered, Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and perhaps feeling a bit awkward to stay, she took Lin Yue and took the initiative to say goodbye.

However, before leaving, she waved to Xu Ran, “I’ll introduce other students to your washing and protection service!”

“Good!”

Xu Ran nodded his head, watching the two girls leave, then left the arena as

well.

Victory and defeat are part of every battle. He wouldn’t blame Su Xiaoxiao for Ziyun’s injuries. But…

Looking down at Ziyun, fully healed but somewhat despondent, Xu Ran knew that the little fellow’s emotional trauma wasn’t going to heal so easily.

Perhaps comforting the Pet Beast is also one of the responsibilities of a Beast Master?

With this thought, Xu Ran stroked Ziyun’s head and said in a relaxed tone, “You did better today than I had expected!”

“Meow?” (Is that true?)

Ziyun lifted his head, looking at his Beast Master with surprise in his eyes. The reason he was so down was partly because he lost to the Flame Fox but more because he was worried Xu Ran would be disappointed in him.

Xu Ran acting like the loss didn’t matter surprised him, but it also made him feel relieved.

-Of course it’s true.” Xu Ran laughed, “You just became a Transcendent Being today. You’re not quite skilled yet. Though you learned a new skill, Claw Edge is just a one-star Skill, so it didn’t greatly boost our power.”

“More importantly, compared to Su Xiaoxiao, both you and I lack experience.” There was a touch of regret on Xu Ran’s face as he said this.

Beast Masters like Su Xiaoxiao who are studying at Beast Mastery High School receive systematic guidance. Even though she’s just a freshman and a beginner compared to other Beast Masters, it’s normal that she won against someone inexperienced like me.

“When the Flame Fox used the Flame Wall Skill, you didn’t respond immediately and hesitated for a moment,” Xu Ran started to review the battle, “And I didn’t expect the collision to raise so much dust and let you charge in recklessly.”

“So in this battle, both of us had areas where we fell short.”

Xu Ran looked at Ziyun in his arms. Ziyun also lifted his head. His mismatched pupils glowed under the streetlight, reflecting Xu Ran’s face.

“Let’s work harder and do better next time, alright?

“Meow!” (Alright!)

Ziyun’s spirits lifted after Xu Ran’s pep talk. He was already considering how he should train harder to become stronger, and have a rematch with the Flame Fox.

He couldn’t help but lift his head to look at his Beast Master.

He seemed to be pondering something. Maybe he too was thinking about how to strive and become stronger with him?

Xu Ran looked at the personal panel appearing before his eyes.

[Host: Xu Ran

Contract Power: First Stage

Contract Pet Beast: Ziyun [View Details]

System Skills:

[Plucking Fur (D-level)] (2/10)

Pet Beast Skills: None

Pleasure Value: 974

System Upgrade Experience: 50/1000] Since the Plucking Fur didn’t work when he washed and protected Lin Yue s Green Wind Eagle, he fell short of the Pleasure value for another Lottery drawing, even though the Green Wind Eagle provided more Pleasure value. He would have to wait until the next washing and protection to draw a Lottery. He wondered if he could get something like combat experience in his next Lottery draw to compensate for his deficiencies.

As for working hard…

If he could cheat, why work hard?
