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


    These electric sparks held immense power, shing with the mes and causing windstorms in the arena.


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


    “Ziyun, use Electric Arc, and prepare for w Edge!” Following Xu Ran’smand, 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-w Edge!


    “Meow!!!”


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


    “Little me, Fire Eye! Get ready for me Dance!” Almost immediately after Xu Ran issued themand 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 nonchnt response from the me Fox echoed from the dust. The next instant, two bright mes suddenly appeared within the dust obscuring the view.


    No, those were not mes, but eyes!


    One Star Skill, Stardust Level-Fire Eye!


    Effect, enhanced vision!


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


    Two Star Skill, Stardust Level-me 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 me 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 me 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, heforted, “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 apanying 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 minutester, Ziyun had returned to its original state after receiving treatment from a pet beast that looked like arge 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 me 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.


    Perhapsforting 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 rxed 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 me 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 Ranughed, “You just became a Transcendent Being today. You’re not quite skilled yet. Though you learned a new skill, w Edge is just a one-star Skill, so it didn’t greatly boost our power.”


    “More importantly,pared to Su Xiaoxiao, both you and Ick 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 beginnerpared to other Beast Masters, it’s normal that she won against someone inexperienced like me.


    “When the me Fox used the me 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 be stronger, and have a rematch with the me 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 be 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 likebat experience in his next Lottery draw topensate for his deficiencies.


    As for working hard…


    If he could cheat, why work hard?
