Chapter 7: Desert-Tail Fox
Chapter 7: Desert-Tail Fox
"Do you need something?" Qiao Sang had to stop and ask.
"If you hadn't wasted so much time, I wouldn't have come here for nothing today", the girl complained.
Qiao Sang's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "I remember you didn't show up when it was your turn to register."
The girl became more agitated. "If you hadn't gone so fast, I would have been the one to finish up. You know, if you had just sat there for two seconds, I would have been there!"
Qiao Sang was speechless.
Is this kid's brain okay?
Qiao Sang decided to walk past her and leave. Although she was only 15, she was an adult on the inside. The girl in front of her, wearing a high school uniform, still seemed like a child to her.
What was the point of arguing with a brat like this?
But she hadn't taken two steps when the girl quickly stepped in front of her again, blocking her path. "Where are you going?"
Qiao Sang looked at her and said calmly, "Are you looking for a fight?"
If something could be solved with fists, there was no need to use words.
Arguing with a brat was pointless, but giving her a good beating could be meaningful.
"What?" This time, the girl was the one confused.
"Let's go outside if you want to fight. If not, move aside", Qiao Sang said. Her slightly upturned phoenix eyes usually looked gentle and beautiful, but when she stared at someone without a smile, it was quite intimidating.
The girl hesitated for a few seconds, glanced at Qiao Sang's school uniform, and then at Fangflare and Plump Homing Dove. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, let's fight!"
The two of them went to a clearing behind the Hanggang Beastmaster Center. The area wasn't too big or too small, and a few people were training their familiars there.
Qiao Sang looked around and asked, "Isn't this place a bit public? Shouldn't we find somewhere more private?"
The girl's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What, are you scared?"
Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow. "I'm just worried about your reputation. If you want to fight here, fine."
"Let's go!" The girl moved her right foot to the side.
Seeing the girl take her stance, Qiao Sang set Fangflare aside.
The girl raised her hands, but before she could form a seal, a leg swept toward her face. She instinctively ducked, covering her head.
A gust of wind whistled over her head.
"What are you doing!" Xu Lingnan was drenched in cold sweat.
She quickly got up and took two steps back, still shaken. She couldn't believe that this girl, who looked younger than her, had just kicked her in the head!
If that leg had hit her, she would have had a concussion!
That was too brutal!
Qiao Sang looked innocent. "Didn't you want to fight?"
Who the hell said this was a fight!
Xu Lingnan was speechless. She thought Qiao Sang was being intentional, but she had no proof.
"Beastmasters fight with their familiars, have you ever seen a Beastmaster fight with their own hands!" Xu Lingnan shouted at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang paused, then said, "I'm not a Beastmaster yet."
Xu Lingnan: "..."
She had heard that, of course.
But that was just the official certification. You've already bonded with a familiar, so you can't just say you're not a Beastmaster.
Xu Lingnan didn't waste any more words and formed a seal. A white Star Array appeared on the ground, and a white figure emerged from it.
Seeing her familiar, Xu Lingnan felt more at ease. "I'm a Beastmaster, so I'll fight the Beastmaster way. Are you afraid to use your familiar against me?"
The girl in front of her was clearly a new Beastmaster. Plump Homing Dove was a mid-level familiar and couldn't be hers. The underdeveloped Fangflare was more likely to be her bonded familiar.
Her Sandfox had evolved into a Desert-Tail Fox just yesterday.
What could this girl use against her?
The Desert-Tail Fox, the evolved form of a Sandfox, was extremely gentle. Unlike the Sandfox, which was known for its beautiful tail, the Desert-Tail Fox's tail was over 2 meters long, five times its body length, and was the source of its strength.
Qiao Sang looked at the white supernatural creature with amber eyes, and the information about it automatically surfaced in her mind. After all, she had just studied it yesterday.
The Desert-Tail Fox in front of her was a mid-level familiar, and Fangflare had only been born less than a month ago. She had just bonded with him and hadn't undergone any training yet.
She couldn't win.
Qiao Sang had already reached her conclusion.
Since there was such a disparity in strength, she wouldn't call Fangflare to get beaten up one-sidedly.
"Plump Homing Dove, you go", Qiao Sang turned to the Plump Homing Dove, who had been quietly standing beside her.
"Jiu."
The Plump Homing Dove flapped its wings without refusal and walked in front of the Desert-Tail Fox.
Xu Linglan mocked, "Isn't this not your familiar?"
Qiao Sang nodded, not refuting.
"Hmph, Plump Homing Dove is Plump Homing Dove. I'll still win", Xu Linglan didn't stop her.
Commanding someone else's familiar was different from commanding one's own, and even though they were both mid-level familiars, Xu Linglan didn't think she would lose.
"Desert-Tail Fox, Sandstorm!" Xu Linglan decided to strike first and commanded immediately.
"Mo."
The Desert-Tail Fox raised its head and called out. Its tail, over two meters long, swayed, gradually glowing with a sandy hue.
"Plump Homing Dove, fly up", Qiao Sang said calmly.
The Plump Homing Dove was about to spread its wings and take off when a red figure suddenly darted to the other side, crashing into the Desert-Tail Fox and interrupting its Sandstorm before it could be released.
The Plump Homing Dove forgot to fly, its plump head filled with a big question mark.
Wasn't it supposed to fight?
It was Fangflare. Qiao Sang stared at the red figure in front of her, momentarily stunned.
"Ya!"
"Ya ya!"
Fangflare called out to Qiao Sang, clearly upset.
Qiao Sang could sense Fangflare's anger and resentment.
Fangflare was extremely unhappy!
He was her bond object, wasn't he? Why was she letting someone else fight!
Qiao Sang felt a lump in her throat and was about to speak.
"Cheating! You're ambushing us! And it's two against one!" Xu Linglan shouted, furious.
Her Sandfox had evolved into a Desert-Tail Fox, but her brain domain was only developed to 7%, far from the second awakening of the Beastmaster Codex, which meant she couldn't bond with a second familiar.
The Desert-Tail Fox was a mid-level familiar, but so was the Plump Homing Dove, and the Plump Homing Dove was a flying type, inherently advantageous against the Desert-Tail Fox.
And Fangflare, although a low-level familiar, was a fire type with strong attack power. If it was two against one, she would definitely be at a disadvantage!
Xu Linglan glared at the younger girl in front of her with gritted teeth.
This person was not only ruthless but also despicable!
Qiao Sang stood there for a moment, suddenly feeling enlightened.
Two against one?
Why hadn't she thought of that before!
This was a fight, not a competition. Winning was all that mattered, and there were no rules.
Since Fangflare wanted to fight, she could also assess his skills and verify her thoughts.
Qiao Sang looked at the pouting figure in front of her and smiled, "Fangflare, come over."
