Chapter 120: Flame Listener
Chapter 120: Flame Listener
Everyone in the Yuhua Region basically knows that Fangflare has only one Evolution route, which is Blazefang.
However, the magnificent familiar in front of her looked nothing like Blazefang except for its size.
Qiao Sang stared blankly at the completely transformed Fangy.
She might still be a Slacker, and her Exam results were always at the lowest passing mark.
She didn't recognize the Skyglow Bat, almost mistook the Blazefruit for a regular fruit, and had no idea about the Energy Level ranges for each stage of a familiar's evolution.
But if someone were to give her a test about the Fangflare species, she could easily score 90 out of 100, if not a perfect score.
Unlike the Cotton Worm, which has multiple Evolution routes, the Fangflare only has one Evolution route from Junior to Royal Tier.
If a familiar takes a different Evolution route, all of its subsequent Evolutions will deviate from the original path.
For example, the Cotton Worm can Evolve into either a Bashutter or a Toxic Butterfly. The Bashutter then Evolves into a Snowwing Butterfly, while the Toxic Butterfly Evolves into a Toxicwing Butterfly.
This means that Fangy's future Evolutions are now completely unknown.
As Qiao Sang's thoughts raced, Fangy looked at her with a smile, then pounced excitedly.
"Thump!"
Qiao Sang was instantly knocked to the ground.
Fangy, now evolved, was about 1.8 meters tall, a far cry from its once tiny form.
"Yah!"
Fangy pounced, eager to snuggle into its Beastmaster's embrace as usual.
A moment later, it tilted its head.
"Yah?"
Why did its Beastmaster get so small?
Qiao Sang, pinned beneath Fangy, struggled with her exposed right hand: "Yah... Baobao, get up, you're crushing me..."
"Yah!"
Fangy was startled and quickly stood up.
Qiao Sang gasped for breath, thinking she was about to suffocate!
This kind of enthusiasm might be too much to handle unless she starts building her strength or reaches D-Rank as a Beastmaster, at which point her familiar would start nourishing her.
The people around them finally snapped out of their shock and found their voices.
"This isn't a Blazefang, right!"
"Was that really a Fangflare that just Evolved?"
"Am I dreaming? Xiao Liu, do you feel anything?"
"Damn! What's wrong with you? Pinch yourself!"
"Ah!"
"Amazing! Is this a second Evolution form of Fangflare? It's so cool!"
"When did the Alliance announce this form? I didn't know about it!"
"Are you an idiot? Look it up online!"
Realizing the logic, the group started to pull out their phones, but a familiar voice interrupted them.
"Everyone out, what are you doing during work hours?"
They froze, looking up to see Song Yuan.
Song Yuan stared at them expressionlessly.
"..."
The group quickly dispersed.
Once the office was empty, Song Yuan's expression changed, and he looked intently at the regal familiar in front of him. "Qiao Sang, what is this new Evolution form of Fangy called?"
Qiao Sang paused, then replied, "I don't know."
Song Yuan was taken aback. "Isn't this a new form?"
"It is a new form." Qiao Sang nodded.
Song Yuan was speechless for a moment. "Why don't you know the name of the new form?"
Qiao Sang was confused. "Why would I know the name of the new form?"
They looked at each other.
Song Yuan stared at Qiao Sang, suddenly thinking of a possibility. His hand holding the phone trembled.
No way! Could it be that the Alliance hasn't announced this form yet?!
Ever since she entered the workforce and focused on making money, she hadn't paid as much attention to familiar news as before. She mostly followed famous Beastmasters to guide her product selections and create hits.
Familiars having different Evolution routes is common, with some routes being easier to achieve and others more difficult.
She had always thought that Fangy's current Evolution form was one of the more difficult ones to achieve, which was why she had never seen it in reality.
But what if this form hadn't been announced by the Alliance, and Fangy was the first to evolve into it?
Song Yuan became more and more excited the more she thought about it, her smile growing increasingly manic.
By the time she finished checking her phone and confirmed her suspicions, she could no longer control her facial expressions.
"Boss Song…" Qiao Sang, noticing Song Yuan's intense gaze on Fangy, instinctively tried to pull Fangy behind her.
But she couldn't budge it.
"Don't call me Boss Song, it sounds so formal. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Song from now on", Song Yuan said with a radiant smile.
Qiao Sang didn't hesitate. "Sister Song, I need to get back to school after the video. I have intensive training sessions coming up, so could you let me know two days in advance next time so I can take leave?"
"Sure, sure. Intensive training at school is tough, so don't take leave lightly. The new model shoot isn't urgent. We only have the design sketches right now, and they haven't been manufactured yet. Call me when you have a day off, and I'll arrange the shoot for you", Song Yuan said with a smile.
Qiao Sang sincerely thanked her.
She knew the saying that nothing comes without a reason, and Song Yuan must have seen Fangy's potential to be so agreeable.
But she had genuinely considered both the breach of contract fee and the next shoot for Qiao Sang's benefit.
"Since you're heading back to school, let me give you a ride", Song Yuan said, turning to grab her bag.
She couldn't rush things. The contract was almost up, and she needed to build a good relationship before bringing up the renewal.
"No need, my teacher is here. He can take me back", Qiao Sang replied.
Before Song Yuan could respond, Skyglow Bat, upon hearing Qiao Sang's words, waved its claw and vanished with Qiao Sang in tow.
Song Yuan: "!!"
…
Back in the dormitory.
Qiao Sang lay on the bed, her face pale.
Professor Xian's habit of teleporting without warning was really not good!
"Ya…"
Fangy stood by the bed, looking puzzled.
It wanted to jump up and be with its Beastmaster as usual, but the bed seemed to have no place for it now.
Moreover, its Beastmaster had shrunk, and its little brother had become even smaller, smaller than its head.
"Xun."
Treasure Seeker circled around Fangy continuously.
It had been doing the same thing earlier, but everyone's attention had been on Fangy, so no one noticed it.
Is this Evolution?
So amazing.
Treasure Seeker, tired from circling, came to its Beastmaster and called out.
"Xun~"
"Xun xun~"
It wanted to evolve too!
But Qiao Sang didn't respond, as she was looking at the Beastmaster Codex.
