"This is a private contest between you and me, with everyone here as witnesses. Fists and feet have no eyes; each of us bears the risks."
Before the fight, Tu Mingshan gave Fang Qianyuan the customary warning, then bent his knees into a low horse stance and extended a hand. "Please."
Seeing that a contest was unavoidable, Fang Qianyuan formed the Hand Seal of Presence and summoned Little White.
With a pop, a wisp of smoke dispersed, revealing a white wolf with flawless, snow-white fur before the crowd.
This was Fang Qianyuan's lifebound spirit creature, Little White.
Previously, Fang Qianyuan had been accustomed to keeping her outside. Little White herself loved freedom and was happy to come out. Now, however, a stream of pure innate qi had joined the spirit essence within his body, and she seemed reluctant to leave it. Unwilling to stop before she had absorbed her fill, she had nestled in his spirit sea for several days and nights without coming out.
Fang Qianyuan was happy to enjoy the peace and quiet, so he had let her rest inside.
Only upon summoning her again did he suddenly discover that, seemingly because of the innate qi within his body, Little White's aura had become more vibrant and captivating, and her form more solid and lustrous.
She was a full size larger than she had been a few days earlier, with a powerful presence and eyes that openly flashed a keen edge.
Only now did Little White truly possess the bearing of a supreme-grade Human Rank spirit creature.
A strange gleam flashed through Fang Qianyuan's eyes at the sight, but they quickly returned to normal.
He had already sensed changes in Little White within his spirit sea, but he had never expected her to become so much more magnificent.
