Chapter 19 Chapter 19 "Don't swallow my beads again next time...
The momentum created by the few people chasing each other in the dormitory caused a lot of people to gather in front of the playground below the dormitory building. They all came to watch the battle between her and senior Xu Weiran.
Xu Weiran stood in the middle of the field with his arms folded, his posture straight and his expression arrogant.
A white clam about the size of a washbasin was floating beside her. The edge of the shell had a pearly luster, and a warm and precious aura emanated from it when it opened and closed. It was her contracted spirit beast.
Jiang Qing, holding the box containing the beast core, walked slowly to the other side of the venue with Zhu Tianba, with an expression of "being forced to work".
She handed the box to Li Xiu for temporary safekeeping and walked onto the "platform" alone.
Jiang Qing imitated what she had seen on TV and clasped her fists with others: "Senior sister, please give me your guidance."
"Stop talking nonsense." Xu Weiran's eyebrows were raised. "Let your pig out. Let me see how brave it is to steal my things!"
Jiang Qing had no choice but to form seals with his hands and release Zhu Tianba.
It looked funny in the same white outfit with the pig print it had worn this morning.
"Your aesthetic taste is really..." Xu Weiran looked at Zhu Tianba with an indescribable look.
The young body appeared particularly petite on the playground, forming a sharp contrast with the pearly oyster opposite, which exuded a white and precious aura and looked not to be messed with at first glance.
There were murmurs and low jeers from the crowd.
Jiang Qing shrugged his nose. Who doesn't want nice clothes? But they are expensive!
The "pig print" that everyone dislikes is the cheapest.
"Let's start." Xu Weiran shouted without any unnecessary courtesy, and the contract totem on his wrist lit up instantly.
The suspended pearl oyster moved in response to the sound, and the shell suddenly opened a crack.
"Swish swish."
Three longan-sized, round and lustrous pearls emitting a faint glow shot towards Zhu Tianba like arrows from a bow, with a sound of breaking through the air, like lightning.
The speed was so fast that it even left a faint white trail in the air.
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed in surprise.
This pearl attack is not only fast, but also contains a lot of power.
If it is hit, not to mention the pig, even a stone will be broken.
Li Xiu's heart rose to her throat.
The moment Bangbei launched the attack, Jiang Qing had already held up the golden light shield. Zhu Tianba also responded to the "hail of bullets", but instead of dodging, he took the initiative to meet it.
Zhu Tianba had only one thought in his mind: Jiang Qing wanted those shimmering beads.
"Zhu Tianba!" Jiang Qing shouted anxiously behind her. As she became emotional, the golden light surrounding her loosened slightly.
Even Jiang Qing was startled by Zhu Tianba's proactive attack.
Zhu Tianba opened his mouth and flew past a bead, biting the flying white bead firmly with his teeth.
A look of joy flashed across its face, and it couldn't wait to show the beads in its mouth to Jiang Qing.
Only after confirming that Zhu Tianba was fine did Jiang Qing feel completely relieved.
On the other hand, Xu Weiran on the opposite side raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You can actually catch my pearl shell, you have some skills!"
"So what's next?" Xu Weiran curled her lips, her competitive spirit aroused. She formed seals with her hands and poured her mental energy into the clam along the mark of the contract. "Pearl light, scattering in a row!"
Xu Weiran's pet is a long-range shooting type, and can shoot up to 20 pearls in a single attack, but the clams also have a very obvious disadvantage.
It is more expensive.
The number of pearls that clams can produce on their own is limited, so most of the emitted pearls need to be purchased manually and added.
In order to save combat costs, Xu Weiran would recycle the undamaged pearls for reuse after each battle.
There had been some shameless people before who had tried to pick up her beads during battle, but how could her things be so easy to take?
Not to mention that the beads shot by clams are rotating at high speed. Once they come into contact with the skin, they will directly sink into the flesh and cause the skin to be torn apart.
Beads themselves are extremely fragile.
In each battle, 100 pearls are shot out, and it is considered good if 20 can be retrieved from her hands.
However, Xu Weiran did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
Zhu Tianba's eyes became brighter and brighter under the rain of pearls. He kicked the ground with his short legs and his round body burst out with amazing jumping power. Instead of retreating, he rushed forward and rushed directly towards the deadly rain of pearls.
"Damn it! Is that pig looking for death?"
"You're crazy! Those beads can turn it into a sieve."
"What's so interesting about a battle without any suspense? You know without even watching it that Xu Weiran will definitely win this battle."
"Who knows? That pig looks a bit weird. It just swallowed a few pearls from Xu Weiran."
"No, I don't understand what's so fussy about this? One is Human-rank, the other is Earth-rank, the spirit beast is also a common-rank rare, and the other... is of no rank. Senior Sister Xu Weiran is completely crushing the situation."
“…”
The crowd around looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise.
Meng Yanlang asked questions along the way and appeared downstairs of Jiang Qing's dormitory at this time.
When he and Zhao Peng arrived downstairs one after another, they were surrounded by a group of people. From the noisy voices of the crowd, they could vaguely tell that someone had set up a duel here.
As the two were about to leave, they caught a glimpse of Jiang Qing surrounded by a crowd of people.
"I was wondering why she ran so fast? Turns out she had made an appointment to fight someone." Zhao Peng followed behind Meng Yanlang, his eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield with a look of realization.
"He wasn't very active in class, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. He dared to fight against an Earth-rank Beast Tamer at only level one." Zhao Peng put his hands in his pockets, looking very excited.
There was also a hint of excitement in Meng Yanlang's eyes. He looked at the battlefield without blinking, his posture upright and calm as usual, as if everything was under his control.
Yes, that's it.
He had seen so many famous movies and novels, and the masters all hid their skills like this, pretending to be weak but actually fighting the tiger, and challenging opponents who were several times stronger than them.
Today I finally saw the novel come true!
Meng Yanlang looked serious and carefully observed all the performances of Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba, not wanting to miss any details.
Write it down! Write it all down!
On the battlefield, Jiang Qing stood with his hands behind his back, and saw Zhu Tianba twisting and turning in the dense stream of light, so fast that he left behind a trail of afterimages.
Its movements seem clumsy and comical, with that characteristic piggy wriggling feel, but they are incredibly precise.
Every jump, every sideways movement, every lowering of the head was just right to avoid the most threatening pearl trajectory.
Before the people around could even see the trajectory of the pearl falling to the ground, it had already eaten it.
Those pearls, which contained powerful kinetic energy enough to penetrate stone and wood, seemed to hit an invisible and extremely flexible barrier the moment they came into contact with Zhu Tianba's teeth.
The impact force was strangely resolved and absorbed, and the momentum of high-speed rotation came to an abrupt halt.
The lustrous luster on the surface of the pearl dimmed as if it was sucked away, and then it was meekly held in the mouth of Zhu Tianba, who tilted his head back and swallowed it into his stomach.
It even uses its front hooves to fiddle with the pearls and its back to carry those pearls that are too difficult to catch with its mouth.
The hard bristles stood up, flashing with imperceptible golden patterns. The pearls hit them with a dull "puff" sound, as if they hit elastic rubber. The kinetic energy was instantly removed and they rolled weakly to the ground.
In just a few breaths, the death storm formed by the twenty pearls completely dissipated, and not even a shallow pit left on the ground caused by the pearls.
The playground was dead silent.
The wind seemed to have stopped.
Everyone stared with wide eyes at the center of the venue in disbelief.
The pig in the funny piggy-printed clothes retreated to Jiang Qing's side, and raised its little head. It looked at the stunned Xu Weiran and said with a proud and provocative tone: "Ge~"
"Hahahaha, this is so funny! 20 beads actually filled it up. Senior Sister Xu Weiran must be pissed off by it."
There was a roar of laughter all around.
"Well done!" Jiang Qing lowered his head and gave the little thing a thumbs up.
No one knew that all the beads swallowed by Zhu Tianba entered her seal of contract through the connection between the master and the spirit beast.
It’s here! It’s here!
I don't know how much a pearl costs to recycle.
Jiang Qing felt that even if he stopped doing treatment in the future, he could still consider taking Zhu Tianba out to collect "waste".
"How is it? Senior Sister Xu Weiran, are you still going to fight?" Jiang Qing said, looking at Xu Weiran opposite her.
The arrogance and complacency on Xu Weiran's face froze for a moment, replaced by unprecedented heartache and shock.
She pursed her lips and called Clam back to her side: "No more fighting."
"Ah?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Qing's face. "Okay."
Xu Weiran clenched his fists tightly.
Don't think she didn't notice that there was something strange about the pig. It swallowed all her beads, but it was still standing in front of her intact.
The clam snorted angrily.
"Zhu Guang, don't be angry." Xu Weiran comforted it.
The cost of 20 beads is already a considerable expense, and if they continue fighting, their losses will only increase.
Jiang Qing walked up to Li Xiu, facing the crowd's gaze, took the box from her arms, and handed it back to Xu Weiran: "Senior sister, all your things are here. I'm really sorry. I will take good care of my spirit beast in the future."
Xu Weiran took the box and opened it to check. Inside was the alien beast core crystal that she had lost, not one more or one less, and the white paper. The note showed no signs of having been touched and was still placed in its original place.
"Wait!" Seeing that Jiang Qing was about to turn around and leave, Xu Weiran stopped her.
Jiang Qing turned around slowly, looking bewildered: "Senior, is there anything else?"
"Today's battle doesn't count. Next time, let's make an appointment and have another serious fight at the training ground." Xu Weiran said. As if she had thought of something, she added, "Next time, don't swallow my beads again."
"Seriously?" Jiang Qing looked embarrassed. "I'm only at the first level of the Human Rank. I was lucky enough to escape today because the kind-hearted senior sister let me go. I definitely can't beat her. If you still want me to kowtow and apologize... that's not impossible."
Seeing this, Jiang Qingzhen looked thoughtful.
Xu Weiran: “…” She really couldn’t stand Jiang Qing’s spineless look.
As a student of the combat department, he should naturally exude a confident and strong aura, unlike Jiang Qing who becomes so spineless when encountering any problem.
Wasn't she quite arrogant when she was fighting against her just now!
"Give me your contact information." Xu Weiran's tone did not allow for refusal. She didn't care whether Jiang Qingtong agreed or not. She had made it a deal anyway!
"Okay." Jiang Qing hesitated and gave his pager number to Xu Weiran.
With a "ding~" sound.
Xu Weiran’s friend request came.
