BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80 - 75: Xu Ran who doesn’t forget his original intention _1
As the Frost Dust Wolf fell, a brief silence filled the arena.
Then, an outpour of applause and cheers erupted, as mighty as a storm surge.
This fight that they’ve just witnessed was no less exciting than the previous one. Ziyun, small and delicate, seemed to hold an infinite amount of Shattering Thunder within her. Her fighting performance on the Battle Stand was akin to a thunderbolt sprite, leaving an unforgettable mark on countless spectators.
In the competitors’ bench, Gu Ling’s expression took on a greater degree of seriousness.
“Dark Scale Dragon, our next opponent won’t be simple!”
“Roar!” The Dark Scale Dragon crossed its claws over its chest, nodded gravely, and looked at the tiny figure in the arena with an equal degree of seriousness.
It had not been long since their last encounter, but the one who had only taken half of his strength then, had already become this powerful.
However, with this, he should be able to carry out a battle at full strength, right?
The Dark Scale Dragon’s pitch-black pupils gained a hint of red, burning up with the flame of combat.
It was ready!
“But speaking of it…” Gu Ling smiled faintly, “Boss Xu hasn’t advertised yet today, has he?”
“Now’s the time!”
Listened to the roars and cheers around him, Xu Ran’s face held a trace of a smile.
Simultaneously, Ziyun who had just defeated the Frost Dust Wolf, raised her head high as if staring at the sky and let out a long howl.
“Meow–”
The tangible sound waves, under Ziyun’s deliberate control, rolled up towards the sky in circles. Compared to the wider range Thunder Roar normally had, the howl at this moment seemed restrained, more concentrated, and therefore able to spread further.
Seeing the sound waves reaching a height of forty meters, the cheers from the spectators began to die down.
Wasn’t the battle already over? Why was she using a skill out of nowhere?
Could this be some special way of celebrating?
The spectators wore expressions of confusion.
Others, expressions suddenly changing, seemed to think of one possibility.
The next moment, scorching Thunderbolts suddenly erupted within the tangible sound waves!
This was the special effect of Thunder Roar. This skill bursts out tangible sound waves, hiding countless undetectable units of thunder energy throughout which subsequently explode under the control of the user.
The explosion typically occurs on the surface of the object or energy it touches, such as Ziyun’s Thunder Roar taking effect on the Shattered Ice Claw attack and the Frost Dust Wolf.
However, once Ziyun reached the Starlight Level, she could use her control to actively detonate the thunder energy within the range of the sound waves.
Like at this very moment.
Seeing the lightning flash open in an instant, intertwining in mid-air to form the words: “Starfire Foster Care Shop, Trustworthy!”, silence fell on the entire venue.
“Boss Xu is really…” The expression on GU Ling’s face in the competitor’s area became somewhat strange, “Never forgets his roots…”
“The victor of this match is… contestant Xu Ran!” Realizing only after a long while of being stupefied as he watched the electric words in the sky, the referee remembered that he hadn’t yet announced the result of the match.
Following the announcement of the match result, the scorched black Frost Dust Wolf was soon taken away by the medical team who entered the stage.
Xu Jiujiu, hands on her hips, quickly stepped up to Xu Ran, “Very good of you, hiding your true strength during the rematch!”
“Ah well…” Xu Ran gave a wry smile.
What he wanted to say was that he really didn’t hide his strength during the rematch, but simply got stronger at an exceptionally fast rate.
However, thinking that saying so might hit Xu Jiujiu even harder, he eventually didn’t utter it, considering she was a potential customer.
“Remember our deal, if I won, you would send your Frost Dust Wolf to my foster shop.” Xu Ran grinned slightly.
The Frost Dust Wolf has an Ice Attribute. Although Washing and Protection could bring it a good Pleasure Value, Fosterage would obviously be a better option.
“I, Xu Jiujiu, always keep my word.” Xu Jiujiu snorted, “I still have some credit left in the previous foster shop. Once it’s used up, I will switch to yours.”
A large pet beast like the Frost Dust Wolf was always in fosterage. It was just a matter of changing foster shops for her, making no loss… Wait!
Thinking about the outrageous prices at Starfire Foster Care Shop, Xu Jiujiu’s lips twitched.
Her wallet was severely damaged!
“Wise choice.” Booked a new tenant, Xu Ran felt elated, “In the future, you will feel that this choice is worth it.”
Get lost, swindler!
“I’m going to look after my dog now.” Xu Jiujiu snorted, turned to leave, then stopped, “Remember, give it your all in the final! You will pay if you don’t win the championship!”
“Uh…” Xu Ran raised his brows, “Do you have a grudge against Gu Ling?”
“Not really.” Xu Jiujiu shook her head and said frankly, “But if you beat me and Gu Ling, it means that Gu Ling and I are evenly matched. Since Gu Ling beat Lyu Guang, I can also claim I have beaten Lyu Guang.”
By the time Xu Ran figured out Xu Jiujiu’s logic, she had already disappeared from sight.
“What a character…”
Xu Ran chuckled, shook his head, and returned to his bench.
“Boss Xu, good luck with the final in two days!” On the competitors’ bench, Gu Ling waved at Xu Ran as usual, a smile on his face.
“You too.” Xu Ran smiled back.
The two upcoming opponents didn’t have too much tension between them at this moment.
However, that was a different story for their pet beasts.
Ziyun’s strange colored eyes immediately spotted the slightly arrogant Dark Scale Dragon..
