Chapter 36: Who's More Arrogant?
Zhuge Mingyue was not moved at all, but instead calmly recited an incantation.
At this moment, Baili was gazing at Xue'er with envy. He knew that the strength Xue'er was currently displaying was not entirely her true level, but rather came from the Honghuang bloodline within her body. Every warrior who possessed the Honghuang bloodline, aside from their innate extraordinary strength, had a certain probability of comprehending this mystical bloodline's call during their growth process. By triggering the hidden special abilities within their Honghuang bloodline, they could temporarily and greatly enhance their strength to an extreme degree. Xue'er's bloodline call had enhanced exactly what was most crucial for a swordsman - power.
Originally a high-ranking swordsman, Sparrow's strength increased by one level after being augmented by the power of Bloodline Calling, reaching the standard of a Grandmaster Swordsman. Compared to alchemical potions like Berserk Medicine, the increase in strength brought about by Bloodline Calling was more pronounced, with a longer duration and fewer side effects - at most, a few hours of weakness before quickly recovering.
The population of the Honghuang tribe was originally sparse, and those who could understand the bloodline's call to awaken their hidden abilities were even fewer. Every generation only produced a few, and Bai Li himself was considered to be quite talented, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand the bloodline's call, nor could he awaken the mysterious abilities hidden within the Honghuang bloodline. It was also destined that his ultimate achievements would never be comparable to those of Jue Lian, who had understood the bloodline's call, which is why it wasn't surprising that he envied Jue Lian.
However, Baili was very puzzled in her heart. The opponent of the sparrow had not truly summoned the demon pet, so why did the sparrow seem to be facing a great enemy and actually use the Blood Call?
"It's all over, no need to look anymore, do you think Zhuge Mingyue's fatty can defeat that perverted woman?"
"Sigh, I really don't want to look at it anymore."
"By the way, has Zhuge Mingyue not yet become a Guardian Master?"
"Remember last time's summoning ceremony, Ling Shao wanted to be her Guardian, but she actually refused."
"Oh, I knew that, I was there at the time. You guys didn't see Ling Shao's expression, tsk... But I also find it strange, if Ling Fei Yang were to become a Guardian, that would be awesome. Why did she refuse? What a pity."
"What a joke! How could Ling Shao possibly take a liking to her? What is she even? Just a low-level summoner who can only call forth fat birds."
"This is really sour. Why didn't Ling Shao's family ask him to be your Guardian?"
"What the heck is she, I don't know, but I do know that she has the guts to stand up for her friends and fight. And what about you? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. A jealous woman is really ugly!"
"What did you say? Are you looking for death?" The voice became angrily embarrassed.
Afraid of you? Come on and let's have a fight!
"Stop arguing, look up there!"
……
Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhuge Mingyue's calm face.
A fleeting shadow flashed by, and a majestic wind leopard stood proudly in front of Zhuge Mingyue.
"Xiao Lao, are you ready? If not, I can give you half a minute." With a sarcastic tone, Zhuge Mingyue returned Xiao Lao's previous words to her, then crossed her arms over her chest, took a step back, and leaned against the railing at the edge of the arena, smiling sweetly as she looked at Xiao Lao.
The expression on Sparrow's face suddenly turned ugly.
Leopard!
It's a cheetah!
The cheetah is famous for its speed and power!
Sparrow thought she was very strong and had used her bloodline call, originally a high-level swordsman, she could become an earth-level swordsman in a short time. However, the opponent was Feng Bao, with powerful strength and even faster speed! She wouldn't give up power to Feng Bao, but speed...
"Zhilan, I've given you half a minute to be stunned, is that enough? Do you want me to extend it for another half minute?"
The scene below is already in an uproar!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, staring at Zhuge Mingyue in an unbelievable manner.
Advanced Summoner! And the contracted beast is a Wind Leopard, a contracted beast that many advanced summoners dream of having. How can this be?
But this is what happened, it really did happen!
"How long has it been since the last summoning ceremony? And yet, Zhuge Mingyue rose two ranks in a row?"
"That's Wind Leopard, it really is Wind Leopard!"
"What's going on here?! How did she become a high-level summoner?!"
"There's hope, it seems we have a chance of winning next month!"
"What are you? Are you familiar with Mingyue and me?" This was Wan Xi Zhen's disdainful voice.
……
"I really underestimated you." Zuo Leng calmed down, looking coldly at Zhuge Mingyue. As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled on the ground and swung his giant sword towards Zhuge Mingyue's ankle with lightning speed.
A crisp sound, Feng Bao's icy claws slapped onto the giant sword, abruptly stopping its momentum. Following that, Feng Bao spun around and kicked towards Que Luo's face with his hind legs. Que Luo was shocked, rolling backward in a fluster, barely dodging Feng Bao's attack.
Sparrow was shocked, Wind Leopard, how could an ordinary Wind Leopard block her sword so easily? She was now a Grandmaster swordsman, and the Wind Leopard was just a high-level summoner's magical pet. Even if the opponent had incredible speed, their strength shouldn't be this powerful.
Zhuge Mingyue stood still, leisurely standing on one side, watching as Feng Bao forced Jiuluo to retreat step by step. Jiuluo became more and more disheveled, while the effect of Xue Mai's call was also slowly decreasing.
"You were so arrogant just now?" Zhuge Mingyue leaned against one side, watching the battle with a relaxed expression. However, her mouth didn't have any idle time and instead used an even more arrogant tone to scold, "Continue being arrogant. What's the big deal about the Honghuang clan? Oh, you, hand over the chicken leg in your hand, thank you. Ask Pangzi for money, Pangzi, give him the money." Who knew that while she was scolding, she suddenly changed her tone and stretched out her hand towards the audience below. Then, with a trembling hand, someone handed over the chicken leg in their hand to Zhuge Mingyue. That person felt like they were about to petrify. Originally hungry, he had taken out a pre-prepared chicken leg to eat, but unexpectedly it was seen by Zhuge Mingyue on the stage. And even more unexpected was that Zhuge Mingyue asked him for food.
The people under the stage collectively slid down the black line, Zhuge Mingyue, do you want to be like this? At such a serious moment, you still remember to eat! However, there is one thing that must be admitted, at this moment, the white feather students under the stage are feeling refreshed, very refreshed, extremely refreshed! Look, this is what it means to have momentum! This is what it means to have an overbearing aura! Jiuluo was so arrogant before, but now he's in a sorry state, while our Zhuge Mingyue is leisurely eating chicken legs and watching the battle unfold. Then, the people below started cheering loudly, cheering for Zhuge Mingyue, each one excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, all staring intently at the stage, their eyes shifting between Zhuge Mingyue, Fengbao, and Jiuluo.
The hurricane sniffed, looked at Zhuge Mingyue, and showed a sorrowful look in his eyes. But soon he turned his head back and fought with Xiao Luan until the sky was dark.
Sparrow's heart was filled with indignation, and she finally let out a furious roar. The giant sword in her hand burst forth with dazzling light once again. Sparrow shook her wrist, and the heavy sword seemed to come alive. With a swift and agile turn of the blade, it welcomed Wind Leopard. This exquisite sword move would be difficult even for a swordsman like Liang Mu Fei to accomplish, let alone with an oversized giant sword that was cumbersome to wield. Yet, despite being at a disadvantage, Sparrow still managed to display her astonishing prowess.
However, this exquisite sword still failed to block that vague shadow. Just as the sword light flashed, the shadow suddenly accelerated and came to Xiao Luo's back along a strange curve, and slammed into him again.
Sparrow's body was once again sent flying by that enormous power, without even having a chance to land, and fortunately, she had the superior physique of the Hong Huang tribe. If it were someone else, even the strongest swordsman, they would have spat blood and died from such repeated impacts.
That shadow moved too fast, so fast that the human eye could hardly capture its trajectory. The entire arena was shrouded in a hazy mist, except for Xiao Luo's tall figure constantly being knocked into the air, even Zhuge Mingyue was obscured from view, and vaguely visible as if floating amidst a drifting fog.
" Sparrow, admit defeat!" Baili was anxious to death below. Sparrow was a stubborn person, but that guy named Zhuge Mingyue wasn't a good egg either. When Sparrow wanted to get rid of the fatty before, it seemed to have touched Zhuge Mingyue's reverse scales. Baili had no doubt that Zhuge Mingyue would take revenge and get rid of Sparrow now. Sparrow was their new star in the Hong Huang tribe, how could he fall before his talents were fully displayed?
The sparrow still bit her lip and refused to admit defeat.
Ba Li suddenly became anxious and didn't care about anything else, starting to concentrate on reciting the incantation. He was actually a summoner!
Baili finally finished reciting the last syllable and flashed onto the stage, blocking in front of Zuo.
A brownish-red light flashed, and his summoned magical pet appeared before him.
"Roar......" Sharp fangs, blood-red eyes, majestic posture, the whole body's reddish-brown long hair stood up like a lion's mane. The moment that demonic pet appeared, it let out a heaven-shaking roar of furious rage, the mournful echo lingering on for a long time.
"It's a Desert Lunewolf!" Wan Xi Chen recognized it as soon as he saw the reddish-brown long hair and majestic appearance, like a male lion. The summoning magic pet of Baili, was actually the infamous Desert Lunewolf, known for its cruelty, madness, and loyalty to its master. With its powerful physique and ferocious beastly nature, this Desert Lunewolf could easily tear apart two wild wolves, and even go head-to-head with the so-called King of Beasts, the Lion Tiger, without falling behind.
Of course, such a desert mad wolf is extremely rare and not just any summoner can summon it as a magic pet. It's said that only those summoners from ancient tribes that have been passed down through generations have the opportunity to own such a magic pet. Apparently, Baili who has the blood of the Primordial Wilderness is indeed from such an ancient tribe.
Wan Qi Chen let out a shout of surprise, but didn't care about that anymore and was about to jump onto the stage. Xue Zi Hao's feet hadn't moved, but he quickly took down his longbow, the taut bowstring stretched like a full moon, his fingers tightly gripping the arrow tail, the direction of the arrowhead locked dead on those blood-red dog eyes. The hundred or so people didn't care about any competition rules anymore, what did they care about?!
At one point, the situation was on the verge of erupting!
