On the battlefield, the sight of the girl fighting made Xiao Fan nervous and envious!
The flames on her long saber burned with incredible intensity!
What level of martial art was that? He couldn't make heads or tails of it!
The girl was at the same realm as him, only a Martial Artist, yet she could use such a terrifying martial art.
Just what kind of talent did that take?
This girl definitely came from some great family!
The Dog King was also the King of Caution. A cautious boat sails for ten thousand years, and the reason he hadn't been caught in the past five years came down to two words: playing it safe!
Great families were not to be trifled with!
But now, the girl was a rich lady, and the exotic beast before her was a Fire Sparrow!
It was only a fourth-tier beast, but because it carried a thin trace of divine beast blood, its value was astonishing!
An ordinary fourth-tier beast was worth four million!
A Fire Sparrow was worth at least thirty million! Add to that the money in her storage ring...
Xiao Fan's breathing grew quicker, and his fists gradually clenched!
He only had half a year left until graduation anyway, and he couldn't skip any more classes in those final six months. He'd already skipped so many that if he missed any more, even graduating would be a problem.
So today would be the Dog King's final battle!
Even if he couldn't get the ring, the Fire Sparrow was worth thirty million. That was definitely enough to buy four more amplification-type martial arts!
The first rule of combat: hesitate and you lose!
Charge!
Xiao Fan's gaze burned like a torch as he watched the red-haired girl's every move, assessing the battle!
The Fire Sparrow was seriously underestimating her opponent and seemed to be toying with the girl!
The girl fought fiercely, fully immersed in battle. What's more, her martial art was so powerful that she grew stronger the longer she fought!
The Fire Sparrow suddenly beat her wings and sent the girl flying, but the girl dropped to one knee and immediately pulled a syringe from her storage ring!
Adrenaline!
Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging by the girl's condition, she had probably used more than one already!
That was crazy. He had never used more than two shots of adrenaline in a row, and when the aftereffects hit, he'd nearly passed out on the spot.
Still, if this continued, the Fire Sparrow would probably die. The girl's strength had suddenly surged by thirty percent!
Xiao Fan waited silently, his face expressionless, though he felt a wave of helplessness inside!
The red-haired girl's combat awareness was terrible, as if she'd never been in a fight before. Her moves were completely inflexible; all she knew was how to chop away by the book!
If only her talent, weapon, and martial art were all mine! Against that Fire Sparrow, I'd finish the fight in thirty seconds at most. Why fight like my life depended on it?
Over the years, Xiao Fan had fought countless battles. He knew very well that combat awareness was the best measure of a person's true fighting strength.
The girl's combat awareness was C-rank at best.
Xiao Fan's, on the other hand, was unquestionably SSS-rank. He didn't need to spend time practicing cultivation techniques, so he spent more of his life fighting than sleeping!
His greatest trump card was the effort he'd put in day after day!
On the battlefield.
Lin Xianhuo stared intently at the Fire Sparrow in front of her, though her attention wasn't entirely focused on her.
She had heard about the Dog King, but she didn't take that sort of person seriously at all.
She was watching the area above, at the mountaintop.
Because she knew a Fire Sparrow King lived up there! A seventh-tier exotic beast! No, she should be called a king-class exotic beast!
The Fire Sparrow in front of her had to be the Fire Sparrow King's child.
The Fire Sparrow King didn't seem to be on the mountain now. Lin Xianhuo had to end the fight quickly, or she'd be in trouble when the Fire Sparrow King returned.
Lin Xianhuo had anger bottled up inside her. She wanted to tell her parents that even without them, she, Lin Xianhuo, could still carve out a great road to the heavens!
At home, all she had to do was say the word and someone would bring her several liters of Fire Sparrow essence blood.
But she was tired of that life, without the slightest challenge or passion.
She believed she could never become a true powerhouse that way; she would only be a flower in a greenhouse.
Her father had said, "Leave the fighting to your brothers. You're a girl. Wouldn't it be nice to be a little princess?"
She didn't think so. Not at all!
Why can't I surpass those men and become a female super powerhouse like the Heavenly Rainbow Martial Emperor!?
I, Lin Xianhuo, will walk my own path!
I'll start with this Fire Sparrow!
With that thought, Lin Xianhuo's aura surged wildly. A trace of scarlet dyed her pupils, and her already fiery red hair became even more vivid.
"Fire God Heaven-Chaos Saber, third form, Heavenly Fire Half-Moon Slash!"
"Ah!!!"
The girl roared herself hoarse, fighting spirit surging wildly from her.
The color of the Fire God Saber in her hand deepened another shade, and she slashed it mercilessly across the Fire Sparrow's body.
For the first time, terror appeared on the Fire Sparrow's face.
She had been playing with this human all along, teasing her.
Because she was a useless female whose realm was even lower than her own.
She can never beat me.
Yet this female human had grown stronger the longer they fought. After half an hour, her aura had doubled!
This is bad. I must have run into one of the human prodigies Father mentioned.
Isn't Green Leaf City a small place? Why would someone like this show up here?
Run!
"Trying to run!?"
"Dream on!"
Lin Xianhuo swung her saber and shot into the sky. Fierce, deep-crimson flames blazed all over her body, seemingly forming a suit of flaming armor. Empowered by her martial art, the Fire God Saber transformed into a blazing greatsaber seven or eight meters long!
Xiao Fan had only ever seen such scenes in videos before.
Now, seeing it in person and feeling the visual impact, he was truly stunned.
The girl's cultivation technique, weapon, and talent were one!
Not only were they all top-class, they were also the perfect match for one another.
Without a doubt, she was the young lady among young ladies!
At that moment, the girl had fused all three, causing a qualitative change in the weapon's form!
A seven-meter blazing greatsaber? That's fucking cool as hell!?
The flames of Xiao Fan's jealousy soared. He was still waiting to practice the Wind and Lightning Art just to gain a little elemental power.
And she already had flame armor and a super-sized saber?
What a... waste of good things on a dog!
But the next second, he quickly reined in his emotions. His breathing became slow and steady, and the lake of his heart was like water untouched by wind, so calm that not a ripple stirred.
Then, slowly, he pulled a weapon from his storage ring that would drive any adventurer mad at the sight of it.
A second-tier weapon, the Vibration Mahogany Club! Worth 100,000!
"Genius girl! I'll still whack you!"
Xiao Fan took a deep breath and pulled a syringe from his storage button.
Adrenaline! Worth 10,000!
Under normal circumstances, he certainly wouldn't use it.
Although it looked as though both the Fire Sparrow and the red-haired girl had run out of oil and were burning their last.
But.
A cautious boat sails for ten thousand years. It never hurt to be fully prepared.
The adrenaline entered his body, and Xiao Fan's attention sharpened instantly. Only the battlefield, where the fight was nearing its end, remained before his eyes. All other sounds grew utterly indistinct.
The red-haired girl's saber had already pierced the Fire Sparrow.
The muscles in Xiao Fan's body tightened instantly! Without blinking, he fixed his eyes on his prey!
The hunt began!
