"Whew-"
Xu Ran stretched and looked at the dusky sky outside the shop, a faint smile on his face. "We're finally done for the day."
As usual, he spoke with the Three Little Ones through Contract Sensing to find out how their ranking attempts had gone that day. Then, with the appearance of a flickering Six-Pointed Star Formation, Starlight was summoned into the shop.

It was so excited because it had made considerable progress in the Beast Taming Rankings that day.
And it was in the Speed Rankings, where it currently had its best results!
During its first ranking attempt a few days earlier, Starlight had already achieved first place in the Current Rankings and third in the Historical Rankings for speed.
Today, thanks to absorbing its newly acquired resources over the past few days and its tireless efforts, Starlight had successfully raised its Historical Rankings position to second, right behind President Fang.
Although this earned it no additional Beast Tamer Points, that small step was an enormous encouragement to Starlight.

"He's here! He's here!"
