"Clang!!!"
The force gauge shattered on the ground, and the special pressure-resistant force target was also pierced by flames, still emitting a burnt smell.
Fire Fang looked at the results before him with satisfaction.
It turned its head to show off to its tamer.
However, it found her standing there, eyes blank, as if struck by lightning.
"Fang?"
Fire Fang ran over worriedly.
Could its tamer have suddenly gone crazy?
Jiaosang stood in a daze for a long time before accepting reality.
If she had another chance to start over,
She swore she would never bring Fire Fang into this pet beast gym, not even a step!
No!
Not a step into any pet beast gym!
Under the gaze of everyone present in the pet beast gym, Jiaosang shakily took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Mom..."
An hour later, Jiaosang left the pet beast gym under her mother's guidance.
"It's happened three times in a month," her mother said.
Jiaosang knew what her mother was referring to.
Once with the TV, once with the celadon vase, and once with the force gauge.
But her mother didn't know about the time in the alley with the wall…
"It's all my fault," Jiaosang said.
She was the one who watched TV with Fire Fang, the one who made Fire Fang clean and caused the celadon vase to break, and the one who had Fire Fang test the force gauge.
And the time in the alley…
"Of course it's your fault," her mother looked at her with a deep sigh, "This money will be deducted from your allowance every month, 2000 league coins, until it's paid off."
Jiaosang's mind quickly calculated.
Her mother had just compensated 34,000 league coins.
2000 per month means it would take over a year and five months…
What a tragic human drama…
…
At 7:30 PM.
Jiaosang seriously studied the remaining contestants in the Baxin Tournament.
After today's matches, the 16 strong had been decided.
As long as she won tomorrow, she would be in the top 8.
Although the 4th to 10th places didn't have as rich prizes as the top 3, they still received a unified reward of 30,000 league coins, which would exactly make up for her loss today.
Jiaosang looked at the list she had just organized.
Among the 16 strong, including herself, only 4 tamer still had only a beginner pet beast.
The other 12 contestants' pet beasts were already at the intermediate level.
Among these 12, 3 contestants had two intermediate pet beasts each.
There were a total of 15 intermediate pet beasts, as long as she didn't encounter any of them…
Jiaosang studied for over an hour.
"Fang."
At this moment, Fire Fang called out from the side.
Jiaosang looked down.
She saw yellow, purple, and green sunglasses laid out on the ground.
"Fang Fang."
Fire Fang looked at its tamer and then at the sunglasses, with a very troubled expression.
"Let's go with this one." Jiaosang pointed to the purple sunglasses.
These days, Fire Fang had been changing sunglasses every day, and it had a slight case of choice paralysis, so Jiaosang always made the decision for it.
Fire Fang picked up the sunglasses Jiaosang chose, put them on, and turned to look at itself in the standing mirror.
Jiaosang found Fire Fang's actions amusing and suddenly remembered something, her consciousness then entered the Beast Codex.
Her mind had been preoccupied with the money she lost, and she had forgotten to check what skills Fire Fang had awakened.
【Name: Fire Fang】
【Attribute: Fire】
【Level: Beginner (160/1000) +】
【Skills: Bite (Beginner 74/100) +
Charge (Proficient 466/500) +
Fire Fang (Intermediate 609/2000) +
Spark (Intermediate 745/2000) +
Shadow Clone (Beginner 72/100) +
Flame Whirl (Proficient 118/500) +
Flame Charge (Beginner 1/100) +】
【Points: 220】
Fire Fang hadn't stopped training these past two days, and all values had increased slightly.
Flame Whirl had progressed from Beginner to Proficient.
Points increased by 80 after defeating Mowei Fox, and 14 more after defeating Strong Pig.
The points gained from defeating Mowei Fox twice were different.
Jiaosang guessed it was because the first time, Fire Fang and Fat Dove worked together, even though the final blow was delivered by Fire Fang, it only received partial points.
The points gained from defeating Strong Pig were also different from the previous times when defeating beginner pet beasts.
It must be due to the difference in strength.
Jiaosang's gaze moved to the last skill slot.
It was Flame Charge!
This skill was one of the more difficult intermediate skills to learn. If one were to learn it from a specialized training institution, it would cost at least six digits.
If she had the money to buy herbs for Fire Fang to bathe in, it would cost over 10,000 league coins per session, and half a month would cost nearly 160,000 league coins…
Jiaosang was stunned for a moment.
In this case, she seemed to have made a profit…
…
…
The next day.
Shuke Garden.
Pet Beast Arena.
Jiaosang saw Bai Yunmiao at her usual spot.
"Did your parents argue again?" Jiaosang asked, sitting down next to her with Fire Fang in her arms, smiling.
"Jiaosang, you're so smart!" Bai Yunmiao said admiringly.
Jiaosang: "…"
"How did they start arguing again?" Jiaosang asked.
"It's still about yesterday. I asked Jinjin Vine for its opinion, and it wanted to evolve into Sweet Vine. I told my parents, and my dad said it was my mom's fault that I made this decision, and they started arguing again," Bai Yunmiao explained.
Jiaosang: "…"
Such a realistic married life…
Before she could think of how to comfort her, Bai Yunmiao said in surprise, "Jiaosang, why do you seem different from the last few days?"
Jiaosang was taken aback and asked, "How different?"
"Your expression is different. The last few days, you looked calm like a master, but today you look radiant." Bai Yunmiao leaned in, smiling, "Did something good happen?"
"You noticed that?" Jiaosang said helplessly.
"What is it?" Bai Yunmiao asked, full of curiosity.
"Yesterday, Fire Fang, to break a force gauge…" Jiaosang paused.
Bai Yunmiao's gaze involuntarily moved to Fire Fang, who was wearing sunglasses.
No wonder it's a fire-type pet beast; only Jiaosang could tolerate its personality. If it were her, she definitely couldn't handle it.
Even if her brain domain was further developed and she could contract a second pet beast, she would never consider a fire-type…
"Then it learned Flame Charge." Jiaosang continued.
"Wow!" Bai Yunmiao's eyes widened instantly.
Such a fire-type pet beast, please give her ten thousand of them!
The 16 to 8 matches, due to the fewer participants and ample time, were not all displayed on the big screen like the previous days.
Instead, after each group finished, the next group's match-up was shown on the big screen.
The contestants didn't need to queue up in the backstage in advance.
After each group finished, there would be a pet beast performance to entertain the audience.
With the sound of fireworks, the pet beast performance began to warm up the crowd.
After the commentator and guests finished their opening remarks, the photos on the big screen above the pet beast arena kept rolling.
Five seconds later, a set of photos appeared on the screen.
"The first group match-up has been decided! It's contestant Lu You, who has a pet beast symbolizing strength and might, the Little Dragon, and contestant Jiaosang, who has the courage to contract a fire-type pet beast, Fire Fang, as her first pet beast!" The commentator introduced with enthusiasm.
