"Sigh~"
Qian Kun sighed softly. He was helpless in the face of this young man's ignorance of his own limits. Besides, he couldn't refuse when a student wanted to issue a challenge, could he?
Moreover, Ouyang Yuan, who was ranked first, hadn't been challenged in a long time...
"All right, I'll arrange it..."
After receiving confirmation, Tang Miao left.
Now that he knew his opponent's background, Tang Miao prepared to summon a beast first! He had originally planned to wait until after the Challenge Tournament ended, but his plans had been disrupted. Since that was the case, he could only move things forward.
After returning to a quiet place behind the teaching building, Tang Miao closed his eyes and slowly began linking the Star Seeds of the Summoning Element. Auxiliary tools were such luxuries that he obviously couldn't afford them.
The Summoning Element's Stardust was transparent, with occasional moonlit radiance flowing through it. Once Tang Miao arranged the internal Star Seeds in order, the moonlight grew even more distinct, and the Star Track formed by the seven Star Seeds resembled a faint crescent moon.
The Star Track appeared, surrounding Tang Miao.
It was also like a glowing moon-colored secant, slowly tearing open a rift in normal space that led to another plane.
Tang Miao's eyes had already opened. His pupils were deep and vast. His body stood quietly behind the teaching building, but his soul seemed to have wandered to the ends of the earth, arriving in another mysterious planar realm.
A black track and a moonlit Dimensional Gate—Tang Miao felt as if he had instantly crashed out of a dark, narrow cave and into a bright paradise. A brand-new continent appeared before his eyes.
With a thought, he sped ten thousand meters away. Tang Miao felt himself streaking across that dreamlike land. The creatures running across the ground, already moving extremely fast, were instantly left behind, disappearing beyond the horizon.
After wandering for a while, Tang Miao encountered several demon beasts in succession: an eagle, a hound, a wolf, and a snake.
However, he felt that he could look around a little longer.
After encountering a few more small animals, he still hadn't found anything satisfactory. Just as he sensed that nearly half his magic had been consumed and prepared to return with a wolf, a tiger's roar suddenly rang out in the distance.
After hearing the roar, Tang Miao immediately followed the sound.
He then saw a gigantic white tiger roaring continuously over there.
The moment the white tiger saw Tang Miao, it showed no intention of paying him any attention. As it prepared to turn and leave, Tang Miao leaped up and blocked its path.
The white tiger grew displeased, and a roar immediately burst from it!
This white tiger's strength seemed to have reached the General Level. For his first Summon, encountering a General Level beast was truly rare!
"Absolute Zero!"
Seeing the white tiger's utter disdain, Tang Miao released his powerful cold air. Of course, there was nothing unusual here, but in reality, a thick layer of ice had already formed around him!
Fortunately, there was no one nearby. Otherwise, it would have caused quite a commotion. A Dual Element Soul Seed was absolutely something that appeared only once in a hundred years!
Meanwhile, within the dimensional space.
After sensing the Ice Element aura radiating from Tang Miao, the white tiger froze slightly. Clearly, it hadn't expected that an Intermediate Level mage who had only just advanced would already possess such powerful Ice Element Power!
After another tiger's roar, its earlier disdain completely vanished. It even obediently curled up beside Tang Miao, seemingly carrying a hint of ingratiation.
Tang Miao then transformed his mental imprint into a gentle radiance and scattered it over the white tiger. In that instant, the spiritual brand appeared on the white tiger's forehead.
As he completed the final stage of the Summon, Tang Miao's consciousness swiftly left that half-real, half-illusory continent and returned to the rear courtyard where he was.
Just as before, no one had come there.
He withdrew the power of the domain. Although his wandering consciousness seemed to have gone on an extensive journey, not much time had passed in reality.
The moon-colored Star Track did not vanish early like those of the other elements. It was a Space Rift torn open between two planes. The white tiger bearing Tang Miao's spiritual imprint cautiously and curiously poked part of its silver-white, ferocious head through it...
When it saw Tang Miao, it seemed to relax. It walked straight out through the rift in the moon-white Star Track and came to Tang Miao's side, its black pupils scanning the surroundings.
Finally, it looked at Tang Miao again, rolled over, and began acting spoiled in front of him like a house cat.
Tang Miao looked disdainfully at the mountain-sized white tiger. He sneered, "You're a General Level Summoned Beast, yet you're acting spoiled?"
"Roar~ roar~"
The white tiger gave a few soft roars, without the slightest sense of shame.
"All right, from now on, you'll be called Little White! Follow your dad, and becoming a Monarch isn't a dream."
Tang Miao had already established a contract with it, so the white tiger could naturally understand what he said.
It seemed to have no doubts about Tang Miao's words. Instead, it obsequiously stretched over its enormous head and rubbed it against Tang Miao's cheek.
After letting it stay for a moment, Tang Miao sent it back. After all, there would be no fighting today.
With Little White, a General Level beast, it seemed that every problem concerning exposure had vanished in an instant. Why would he still need to expose himself?
However, the white tiger seemed to have sensed his thoughts. Regretfully, it told him that when their contract had been completed, its strength had been compressed...
Right now, it could only display Servant Level combat power. Only after Tang Miao advanced to the Intermediate Level Summoning Element could it recover its strength.
His excitement from moments ago vanished in an instant...
Wasn't this a little too much of a rip-off?
It was clearly a General Level tiger, yet it could only display Servant Level power...
Still, no matter what, this fellow had at least saved him quite a bit of money. When he advanced to the Intermediate Level Summoning Element, he wouldn't need to spend money buying items for advancement anymore.
After summoning a decent underling, Tang Miao headed back toward the dormitory. He had consumed quite a lot today and urgently needed to rest.
After all, he still had to fight tomorrow!
When Tang Miao returned to the dormitory he hadn't seen in a long time, his three roommates were clearly stunned. Come to think of it, they hadn't seen Tang Miao for two months.
Yang Yue asked with a grin, "Boss, where have you been enjoying yourself these past two months?"
Li Ning and his other roommate, Wang Tian, also looked toward Tang Miao.
Tang Miao seriously spouted nonsense, "Nightclubs, bars, KTVs, obviously. Do I really need to think about it? Young men need some fun in life, and for me, this is the best kind of fun."
P.S. The contract has been sent!
