Chapter 175: Fire Dog

“Of course, it only starts counting after the new sparring partner arrives,” Lin Yuanqi said after taking a deep breath.

Qiao Sang was very satisfied with the reply.

Ten minutes later, the training ground’s gate opened again.

“This one is too small, isn’t she? Why does it feel like she’s just a child who just became a Yu Beast Master?”

“My daughter just graduated from junior high. She looks about the same age as her.”

“Lin Yuanqi, you were defeated by such a small child? Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Didn’t you hear him say it? This child has an unusual background. The Treasure Hunting Ghost she contracted is simply heaven-defying.”

“I’ve never seen a Ghost-type Pet with Superpower System in real life before.”

“Me neither.”

More than a dozen people walked in. They chatted in hushed voices, one after another.

When they were about to reach the boundary line of the training ground, everyone walked towards the spectator stands on the right, leaving only a square-faced man in the arena.

“Hello, I am your sparring partner for this time, Wang Anqiang.”

As the man spoke, he formed hand seals. Beneath the gray star array, a large canine Pet appeared before Qiao Sang. Its entire body was crimson, and two single fangs protruded from its upper jaw, looking intimidating.

“Ya!”

As soon as this Pet appeared in the star array, it raised its head and roared.

Qiao Sang stared at the Pet in front of her, momentarily stunned. This majestic roar, this familiar appearance—she didn’t know how many times she had seen it online.

Burning Fire Dog, the evolved form of Fire Fang Dog.

If Ya Bao’s evolution hadn’t gone awry, it would look exactly like this… Qiao Sang said, “Little Treasure Hunting, come back.”

Spectator stands.

“Why do I feel like this girl looks a bit familiar?” a woman wearing glasses said, adjusting her glasses.

“Beautiful people probably all look similar,” someone next to her chimed in.

“Is she your daughter’s former classmate? Doesn’t this child look about the same age as your daughter?” another slightly overweight man guessed.

“Impossible. This child probably just looks young. My daughter just graduated from junior high. According to you, A Qi lost to a fresh junior high graduate?” the woman with glasses retorted.

Heh, even if I let you guys go, you wouldn’t be able to do it… Lin Yuanqi sneered in his heart.

He stared at Qiao Sang on the training ground and shouted inwardly.

You must win! Whether I can hold my head high here in the future depends entirely on you!

Lin Yuanqi felt that his chances of regaining his face were still very high. After all, this stingy rich second-generation heir defeated him in 4 minutes, while Wang Anqiang would take about 10 minutes to defeat him.

How could a Pet like Treasure Hunting Ghost, with such a monstrous innate ability, lose to a Burning Fire Dog that only knows how to deal brute force? Just the teleportation skill alone would be enough for it to win easily.

At this moment, Lin Yuanqi had completely forgotten that Treasure Hunting Ghost was one level lower than Burning Fire Dog.

Just as he was cheering for Qiao Sang and Treasure Hunting Ghost in his heart, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned and floated back to its Yu Beast Master’s head.

Qiao Sang formed hand seals, and a white and red figure appeared before everyone in the gray star array.

The entire place was silent.

After a while, someone, it was unclear who, first took out their phone and started frantically taking pictures. Soon after, everyone else also took out their phones and opened their cameras.

“Holy cow! It’s Yan Ling Dog! I’m seeing a live one!”

“A battle between the two evolved forms of Fire Fang Dog! If I record this video and post it online, it’s going to be a hit! I’ve even thought of the title: Burning Fire Dog VS Yan Ling Dog, a Clash of Fire, Is It an Old Love or a New Flame!”

“I remember now! This girl was the champion of the Bai Xin Competition a little over a month ago! Back then, her Pet was still a Fire Fang Dog!” the woman with glasses exclaimed.

Everyone quieted down again, and in unison, they looked at the ponytail-wearing girl in the arena.

Wait, so this girl’s first contracted Pet was a Fire Fang Dog, and not only did she evolve it into a Yan Ling Dog, but her second contracted Pet, the Treasure Hunting Ghost, which she contracted not long ago, also defeated Lin Yuanqi?

Everyone acted in unison, turning their heads again to look at the already dazed Lin Yuanqi.

In the arena.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao let out an excited cry as soon as it appeared.

As expected, they both evolved from Fire Fang Dog; even their entrance poses are the same… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile and asked, “Can we start?”

“…Of course,” Wang Anqiang said, regaining his composure.

“Ya Bao, it’s up to you,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao looked at the Burning Fire Dog with full battle intent.

The Burning Fire Dog stared blankly back. Seeing Ya Bao look at it with such an intense gaze, its face flushed, and it shyly lowered its head.

“Huo huo~”

Wang Anqiang was dumbfounded. What the heck! Why are you getting shy?!

“Fen Ba Tian! Snap out of it! Quickly use Flame Jet!” Wang Anqiang tried to make the Burning Fire Dog return to its usual self.

“Huo~”

The Burning Fire Dog ignored him. It bravely raised its head to look at the Pet that had completely captured its heart, then shyly lowered its head to look at the ground again.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao’s body was enveloped in flames, and it charged towards the Burning Fire Dog like a fiery afterimage.

“Fen Ba Tian! What are you standing there for? Use Flame Charge, ram it back!” Wang Anqiang’s voice almost cracked from shouting.

The Burning Fire Dog looked at Ya Bao, who was charging at it mercilessly, with a hurt expression. It did not listen to its Yu Beast Master’s command to counterattack, but instead swayed its body to the left, choosing to dodge.

However, Ya Bao’s movements were too fast. Although it didn’t hit head-on due to the dodge, it still caused damage to half of the Burning Fire Dog’s body.

“Boom!!”

The Burning Fire Dog was sent flying several meters backward.

“Huo…”

The Burning Fire Dog weakly whimpered as it looked at Ya Bao, whose flames had receded.

Wang Anqiang covered his eyes, unable to bear the sight.

“Um, why isn’t the Burning Fire Dog listening to you?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

“It… it seems to have taken a liking to your Yan Ling Dog…” Wang Anqiang said awkwardly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She never expected that her Ya Bao, which was only a few months old, would be liked by… no, by a Pet.

It’s still a child!

Suddenly, Qiao Sang looked at the Burning Fire Dog and hesitated, “This Burning Fire Dog seems to be a boy, right?”

She had researched Burning Fire Dogs when Ya Bao was still a Fire Fang Dog.

She remembered that female Burning Fire Dogs had a tuft of fur on their heads that was slightly lighter in color than their overall red fur, while the Burning Fire Dog in front of her had uniform fur all over, with no difference in color.

“Yes,” Wang Anqiang nodded.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said, “My Yan Ling Dog is also a boy.”

Wang Anqiang: “!!!”

“Fen Ba Tian! It’s a boy! It’s a boy!” Wang Anqiang shouted excitedly.

“…Huo?”

The Burning Fire Dog’s expression froze, and it looked in disbelief at the Pet in front of it that had captured its heart.

“Ya ya.”

Ya Bao gave it a disdainful look.

What kind of look is that? Its image is so tall, handsome, mighty, and extraordinary; it’s clearly a boy, okay?

“Huo…”

The Burning Fire Dog couldn’t bear such a blow, and its body swayed.

“Ya.”

Ya Bao gave it another disdainful look.

Are we fighting or not?

“Huo huo!”

The Burning Fire Dog’s eyes suddenly changed, and the two fangs it revealed were engulfed in flames, indicating its attitude.
