Chapter 902: Toxic Serratedbird
Chapter 902: Toxic Serratedbird
The Blazing Bomb and Flame Vortex would immediately trigger an energy explosion upon contact, but if there was enough space within the Flame Vortex for the Blazing Bomb to pass through, there was a chance for a fusion during the process!
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, hearing its Beastmaster’s words, struggled to keep its eyes, redder than usual, open. It opened its mouth and channeled energy.
A hollow, spinning flame, larger than usual, instantly shot out.
Immediately following it was a red-gold beam, which shot through the Flame Vortex with astonishing speed!
The swirling red flames intertwined with the red-gold beam, causing the scorching energy to expand several times over.
The two energies merged as if they had become one.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, the crimson flames and the red-gold beam simultaneously burst into a brilliant display.
The intense shockwave, accompanied by searing flames, swept in all directions.
It worked... Qiao Sang took a deep breath, her face glowing with excitement.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao, awakened by the deafening noise, rubbed her eyes and looked at the scene before her.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy was initially stunned, then it looked at its Beastmaster, its expression filled with excitement as it let out a joyful cry.
It worked!
It really worked!
Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, Fangy’s eyes closed, and it fell over.
A steady snore soon followed.
A cobalt blue light shone over Fangy.
When the blue light dissipated, it was still snoring softly.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile.
Good, it had trained all night; it was time for some rest...
Then she thought of something and turned to Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker, sensing its Beastmaster’s gaze, stiffened, then suddenly covered its mouth with its claws and yawned.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Do you even feel sleepy? Qiao Sang inwardly sighed but didn’t call it out, saying, "Let’s go back and rest."
"Xunxun!"
...
Residential Area
Room 708
Qiao Sang half-reclined on the bed, a laptop on her knees. She logged into the Imperial Beastmaster Academy’s website, navigated to the Imperial Class’s exclusive page, and opened the Points Exchange section. She sorted the items by credits from highest to lowest.
When Teacher Mikara had said she could choose any item, she had taken a quick look, but found everything appealing, making it hard to decide.
Name: Void Feather
Type: Feather
Function: A feather from a Void Dragon, allowing the user to bypass restrictions and barriers, accessing any Hidden Realm or forbidden area that usually requires time and a key to enter.
Note: The Void Feather, a legendary familiar’s feather, can be used once, after which its energy gradually depletes. It can currently be used 11 more times.
Credits: 1,100,000
This is a powerful item, but it’s a consumable. It’s a bit of a shame, as it can only be used 11 times for 1,100,000 credits. The high cost is probably due to it being from a legendary familiar, which adds to its value... Qiao Sang’s gaze moved down.
Name: Realm-Breaking Stone
Type: Crystal
Function: Allows a familiar to instantly advance to the next major realm without any side effects.
Note: The maximum realm it can break through is the Imperial Rank. It is ineffective for familiars above the Imperial Rank.
Credits: 1,100,000
This is a great item, but I have the Golden Finger, so I can evolve my familiars over time without needing this... Qiao Sang thought calmly, continuing to scroll down.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
At that moment, Treasure Seeker pointed at Void Feather's information and excitedly called out.
"This is great!"
Qiao Sang glanced at it. "Weren't you sleepy just now?"
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker blinked its eyes.
Was I? It doesn't remember.
Qiao Sang: "…"
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao, hearing the conversation, looked over and asked innocently.
If you're not sleepy now, should we continue training?
Treasure Seeker's body suddenly stiffened. Then it closed its eyes, lay down, and silently pulled the nearby blanket over itself.
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao looked puzzled.
You weren't sleepy just now, so why are you sleeping now?
Qiao Sang gave Qingbao a complex look.
Honestly, if she didn't know Qingbao's age and hadn't spent some time with it, she would have suspected it of being intentional…
"Knock knock!"
A knock sounded, and Teacher Mikara asked from outside the door:
"Are you awake?"
Qiao Sang got up and opened the door. "Teacher."
"Would you like to have breakfast together?" Mikara asked.
"Sure." Qiao Sang nodded.
…
In the rooftop restaurant.
Everyone's eyes kept drifting toward the table in the back.
Mikara took a bite of her sandwich and asked, "How was your training last night?"
"Pretty good", Qiao Sang said, sipping her porridge. "I've successfully fused them."
The steady and meticulous Mikara was taken aback. "What?"
"Fangy has successfully fused Flame Vortex and Blazing Bomb", Qiao Sang repeated with a smile.
Mikara was silent for several seconds, then took a bite of her sandwich, maintaining a calm demeanor. "That's good, but it's not enough to deal with a Royal Beast. You need to train more and ideally fuse another Fire-Type Skill."
Qiao Sang nodded seriously. "I understand."
She thought the same thing.
Just then, her mobile phone vibrated on the table.
Qiao Sang picked it up and saw a message from Yu Ke:
[Are you there?]
Yu Ke… Qiao Sang stared at the note, taken aback.
Honestly, she hadn't been in touch with Yu Ke for a long time.
[Yes, I'm here.] Qiao Sang typed back.
[Have you returned to Blue Star?] Yu Ke replied instantly.
[Three Mu: Yes, I've been back for over two months.]
[Yu Ke: I have a question.]
[Yu Ke: (Image)]
[Yu Ke: Is this person in the photo you?]
Before Qiao Sang could reply, a series of messages came through:
[We have a Beastmaster in Hollow Plains who bonded with Qingqing Ni. I thought you had the Gentle Breeze Compass and won the National School Beastmaster League championship, and you also have the key to the 16th Secret Realm. The person in the photo looks a lot like you, so I decided to ask.]
[Three Mu: Yes, it's me.]
The other side fell silent.
Qiao Sang put down her mobile phone and drank most of her porridge. Then her phone started vibrating again:
[Ahahaha!!!]
[I knew this person looked like you!]
[You actually bonded with Qingqing Ni! That's amazing!]
[I've decided! You're my idol now!]
Qiao Sang typed back: [I'm still your business partner. How's the business going?]
[Yu Ke: …]
[Yu Ke: It was going well at first, but then some problems arose. Don't worry, they'll be resolved soon.]
[Yu Ke: By the way, there are several photos of you at the Beastmaster Center circulating online, even in different cities. Why aren't you going to school?]
[Three Mu: My school teacher has arranged for me to participate in the Hollow Plains Regional Tournament.]
[Yu Ke: The Imperial Beastmaster Academy is something else. Classes are held outside… Wait! The Regional Tournament?!]
Just as Qiao Sang was about to type a reply, a voice call came through.
She paused for a moment before deciding to answer.
Yu Ke's voice was filled with disbelief:
"You're participating in the Regional Tournament? You've become a C-Class Beastmaster?!"
Regarding bonding with Qingqing Ni, she had already made some guesses and mental preparations based on online information. However, Qiao Sang becoming a C-Class Beastmaster caught her completely off guard; she had no mental preparation at all.
After all, just two years ago, the other party was only a sophomore who had overstepped her level to participate in the senior division matches!
To be precise, it hadn't even been two years yet!
Migala looked up silently and then continued eating her breakfast.
Qiao Sang moved the phone slightly away from her ear. Once the other party stopped talking, she brought it back and said:
"Yes, I got evaluated while at Supernest."
"That doesn't make sense", Yu Ke pointed out. "One of the requirements to become a C-Class Beastmaster is to have four familiars. If you became a C-Class Beastmaster at Supernest, how did you bond with Qingqing Ni after returning?"
Sigh, this is just forcing me to show off... Qiao Sang said in a calm tone:
"My Brain Domain recently broke through to 50%."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Sang put the phone down.
After about ten seconds, Yu Ke's voice, slightly hoarse, came through:
"You're not lying to me, right?"
Qiao Sang picked up the phone and said, "Why would I lie about this? You'll see for yourself when you watch this year's Regional Tournament."
The other end of the phone fell silent again.
After a brief moment of quiet, Yu Ke's voice became even more hoarse: "I believe you."
She paused, then added, "By the way, do you need to see the company's financial reports? If you do, I can send them to you right now."
Even Yu Ke herself hadn't noticed that she was no longer acting surprised and had suddenly become much more respectful.
"No need", Qiao Sang said with a smile. "I trust you."
After hanging up, Migala casually asked, "A friend?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment. "Sort of."
Migala didn't press further and returned to the main topic. "Do you still need my help with training today?"
Qiao Sang replied without hesitation, "Yes!"
Why wouldn't she? Having an S-Class Beastmaster around for training was a golden opportunity she couldn't pass up.
...
For the following days, Qiao Sang and Fangy spent most of their time training.
Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the B-Class Beastmaster evaluation.
At 9:30 AM.
Qiao Sang, following the message from the Beastmaster Center, arrived at the designated Open-Air Evaluation Arena.
The professional Beastmaster level evaluation process was different starting from the B-Class. The specially assigned Examiners would only evaluate one Beastmaster per day, and to prevent the crowd from being affected, no one was allowed to watch the evaluation.
So when Qiao Sang arrived, she found only a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in black, and a mechanical pet floating in the air, about thirty centimeters in size.
"Qiao Sang?" The middle-aged man in black approached her, giving her a complex look before asking.
Qiao Sang nodded.
"Let's verify your Beastmaster Emblem information first; it's part of the procedure", the middle-aged man said.
Qiao Sang took out her Beastmaster Emblem.
The middle-aged man took it and handed it to the mechanical pet.
"This is a mechanical pet dispatched by the Alliance, called the All-Seeing Judge", the middle-aged man explained. "It confirms the examinee's identity and records the entire evaluation process, uploading it in real time. Once everything is confirmed, it will notify you whether you've passed or not."
"Can't you tell right away if the evaluation has been passed?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Of course, you'll know the result immediately", the middle-aged man said. "It just takes time to get the official confirmation."
As they spoke, the All-Seeing Judge had already completed the information scan.
During the scan, a ten-inch holographic screen floated in the air, displaying all the relevant information.
The middle-aged man discreetly glanced at it.
"Quan Quan."
The All-Seeing Judge returned the Beastmaster Emblem, nodding to indicate that the information was correct and it was indeed the person in question.
The middle-aged man began to explain the evaluation content: "The evaluation consists of two rounds. The first round is a 1v1 evaluation, and the second round is a 2v2 team evaluation. After the first round, you can rest for ten minutes. Do you have any other questions?"
Just as Teacher Mikara had said... Qiao Sang shook his head. "No."
"Alright, let's start", the middle-aged man said, beginning to walk toward the command area on one side of the arena.
Qiao Sang walked in the opposite direction.
The All-Seeing Judge looked at both sides, then moved upward. Its originally black eyes turned red, and it looked down, taking in everything below.
A Minor, damn, it really is a Minor... The middle-aged man glanced at the black-haired girl who had already taken her position in the distance, took a deep breath, and then nodded at the All-Seeing Judge.
"The evaluation begins", the All-Seeing Judge suddenly spoke. "Please summon your familiars simultaneously. 3, 2, 1!"
Qiao Sang formed a hand seal.
A dazzling Crimson Star Array and a deep, mysterious purple Star Array lit up almost simultaneously.
An A-Class Beastmaster... Qiao Sang's expression grew more serious.
Soon, Lulu appeared within the Crimson Star Array.
As she appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and countless snowflakes began to fall.
At the same time, a thirteen-meter-tall familiar with a nearly purple body, black eyes, a purple horn on its head, and serrated teeth, as well as large serrated purple wings, appeared within the purple Star Array.
A Toxic Serratedbird, a dual-type Royal Beast of the Toxic and Flying types. Its serrated teeth were not only highly poisonous but could also bite through the skin of steel-type familiars... Qiao Sang had spent a lot of time studying the familiars of the Hollow Plains, and he immediately recognized the information of the distant familiar at first glance.
The Toxic Serratedbird's wings spread wide, and with a powerful flap, a fierce gale swept through the area.
It stirred up a chaotic airflow and quickly ascended to the sky.
Snowflakes fell on its body.
"Toxic Storm", the middle-aged man said.
The Toxic Serratedbird's wings flapped downward, creating a terrifying hurricane about thirty meters long, filled with a destructive aura.
"Ice Emperor."
Lulu's expression was serious.
Even before the wind reached her, her three tails were already being blown wildly by the gale.
As the hurricane formed, the Toxic Serratedbird opened its mouth.
Purple toxin rained down from its mouth toward the hurricane.
The hurricane instantly enveloped it, forming a purple, highly toxic hurricane!
A pungent gale swept through, carrying the toxin.
The combination of toxin and hurricane techniques... Good thing it's Lulu this time... Qiao Sang watched the scene, inwardly thinking, "Wow", but outwardly remained calm.
