Free Web NovelA deep third eye furrowed between his brows, and he stared at Mingxi coldly for a long time before finally smiling.
"So that's it. Then you're quite lucky.
After all, who doesn't know that the Rainbow Summoning Contract carries great risks, and most Beast Tamers end up with trash and waste?"
He glanced at Mingxi's hood with a half-smile.
"However, given Lokeshia's situation, it's certainly not a mere pretty face. Its talent couldn't be S-rank, could it?"
Mingxi seemed oblivious to his sarcasm, her smiling eyes remaining bright and calm, "Mr. He, you flatter us too much. Although my Silver Flower evolved to intermediate level in less than twenty days after hatching, it still has a lot of room for improvement.
It can't compare to Mr. He's Hailam. I heard it successfully evolved to Shi-level six years ago, which /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ is truly remarkable."
It's been six years and it still hasn't evolved to the next stage, and he calls himself a Professional Beastmaster? Where does he get the nerve to call others a mere pretty face?
Mingxi sneered.
If you're a Yin-Yang Master, then I'm a Versailles Rose.
Let's compete with strength and see who's tougher!
He Binbin: "..."
"Heh heh, it seems I underestimated Lokeshia's talent."
Evolving from beginner to intermediate in less than twenty days, some might even believe Lokeshia's talent is SSS.
But thinking that Lokeshia was from a Phantom Color Contract, He Binbin felt relieved again.
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips: "I suppose you'll develop in the direction of a Professional Beastmaster in the future? I look forward to the opportunity to meet you at the peak in the future, and I hope I can still see Lokeshia by your side then."
So what if a Phantom Color Summoning yielded a rare Transcendent creature? Can she guarantee she won't be backlashed by this Lokeshia for life?
The chance of a Phantom Color Contract being backlashed increases with the pet's talent.
The better Lokeshia's talent, the greater the possibility of Mingxi being backlashed.
He was waiting for the day she would be backlashed!
It was a pity he couldn't find out Lokeshia's origin, otherwise he could have made a fortune.
Mingxi, of course, understood the deeper meaning in He Binbin's words and wasn't annoyed. She merely raised her eyelids and said with a half-smile, "Is that so? Then I look forward to it too."
He Binbin: "..."
Why did he feel like he was being looked down upon?
This little girl was truly annoying.
"Heh heh, since that's the case, why don't we warm up in this competition first? Although the Hailam Cup is a pet beauty pageant, we can also do it through Beast Tamers battles.
Of course, there's a huge disparity in strength between my Hailam and your Lokeshia. If we go all out, it would certainly be unfair to you and Lokeshia."
Mingxi didn't even frown, her expression saying, 'You keep talking, I'm all ears.'
He Binbin gritted his teeth and took out a half-metal, half-plastic ring from his spatial inventory.
It looked a bit like a pet shrinking bracelet.
"This is a pet energy suppression ring. Wearing it can suppress a pet's strength. If we meet in the competition, I'll have Hailam wear it to suppress its strength to the intermediate level."
He Binbin looked at Mingxi, "How about it? Are you willing to have a real Beast Tamers battle with me? Rather than those soft, uninspired so-called battles just to show off a pet's beauty?"
If it was purely a beauty contest, Hailam's chances of winning were too small.
But he couldn't lose. If he lost even this small competition, his endorsements would likely drop.
Mingxi glanced at the pet energy suppression ring in his hand. The item looked brand new at first glance.
She guessed He Binbin had just bought it last night.
With continuous defeats in competitions, this person's mentality had probably already collapsed.
He couldn't afford to lose, couldn't lose. If he couldn't adjust his mindset, his path as a Professional Beastmaster wouldn't last long.
Mingxi smiled, "Alright."
For a simple beauty pageant, she and Little Silver Flower weren't really that interested.
Beauty pageants neither increased combat experience nor awarded bonus time.
If it weren't for earning New Talent Rankings points, they wouldn't have participated in this type of competition at all.
So, Beast Tamers battles were good.
Battling a Shi-level pet with suppressed strength, they wouldn't lose out if they lost, and they'd gain a lot if they won!
That was 1000 minutes of bonus time!
He Binbin was delighted and immediately said, "How about this, if I lose, then Hailam Dragon and I will withdraw from this competition directly and no longer participate in the judging and ranking."
Heh.
The sound of Mingxi's cold laughter in her heart grew louder.
This He Binbin's strength was stagnant, but his cunningness had long since reached its limit.
He must have hoped that she, like him, would also guarantee to withdraw from the Hailam Cup if she lost, right?
That way, Hailam Dragon would definitely win the championship.
If He Binbin hadn't met Mingxi, his goal might have been achieved.
But he met Mingxi, who didn't play by the rules.
Mingxi smiled faintly, "You can decide that yourself. It's not a gamble."
He Binbin's expectant face froze, as if he hadn't expected her not to follow his lead and make a statement.
This way, even if his Hailam defeated Lokeshia, it would be difficult to affect the competition score according to the beauty contest rules.
Did this Mingxi not understand social etiquette at all?
He Binbin almost gritted his teeth to powder.
But he could only suppress his anger and nod: "That's true! But my decision won't change. See you in the competition!"
He Binbin didn't want to stay and be annoyed, so he gave a fake smile and turned to leave.
Mingxi certainly wouldn't try to keep him.
The other contestants, who had been secretly listening to their conversation, finally started chattering.
"Did you hear that? That Lokeshia is actually a Phantom Color Contract!"
"Awesome."
"How come I remember Mingxi's Lei Yan Great Wind also seemed to be a Phantom Color Contract?"
"No way? You must be mistaken, right?"
"I saw it in an interview report. The interviewee was a Staff Member from the Haizhou City Beast Taming Center. It was said that he was the one who received Mingxi when she first went to the Spirit Contract Department, so it shouldn't be fake news."
"But the awakening rate of the Phantom Color Key is so low. Mingxi awakened two by herself? It just doesn't seem possible."
"Perhaps geniuses are just that different?"
"Aren't you surprised that He Binbin actually wants to have a Beast Tamers battle with Mingxi?"
"What's there to be surprised about? He Binbin is clearly trying to save face, but unfortunately, Mingxi isn't falling for it at all."
"He Binbin is a bit of a turn-off. Even with the pet energy suppression ring suppressing Hailam's strength, the suppression ring can't suppress pet skills or pet combat experience. Lokeshia is at too much of a disadvantage."
"Exactly! Not to mention the pets, the strength of both Beast Tamers is also there. How old is Mingxi, and how old is he? He's also a Professional Beastmaster who's been famous for many years! Even if He Binbin wins, it's an unfair victory!"
"He Binbin must be too eager to win, right? His results in the past two years haven't been ideal. If he even loses the Hailam Cup, his commercial value might also be affected." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"That still doesn't mean he should bully people! Winning like this isn't honorable!"

While the contestants were gossiping, the live broadcast had already started.
The competition was about to begin.
