Chapter 038 Chapter 38
"Is this really the prototype of a divine skill?"
"Yes, it must be. My teacher is a divine beast master. I've seen the strange fluctuations it creates when it uses that move. There's no doubt about it!"
"This divine skill... is incredibly powerful. Did you see the giant beast's shadow?"
"I bet that once this hurricane dog advances to become a divine beast, its giant shadow will be fully condensed and will surely be able to block out the sun and the sky!"
Whispers echoed in the judges' room.
No one is saying this year's competition is inferior to previous ones anymore. From the reveal of Mingyueying and Yejingzhi's synergistic skills, to Little Koi's dragon-shaped phantom, to the newly evolved Fengluo Beast... until now, when the prototype of the magical skills has been unveiled, the quality of this year's competition has far surpassed that of previous years, becoming the pinnacle of provincial competitions for many years!
In front of the seat, Chi Zi covered his mouth in extreme surprise, with a glimmer in his eyes.
Although she placed her hopes on Xia Muqing, she never expected that Xia Muqing would be so strong.
The youngest person in Daxia, and the one with the greatest hope of becoming a Divine Beast Master in the near future, is Cheng Zizhuo from Yandu University. His Rainbow Skylark is a rare Mystical Beast, diligently nurtured from childhood, raised alongside a Beast Tamer. Even so, Cheng Zizhuo only grasped the rudiments of his Divine Beast Skills in his second semester of his freshman year!
And Xia Muqing is just a high school student. At most, she has only been on the path of a beastmaster for half a year!
In just such a short time, she was able to train an ordinary hurricane dog to this level. Her talent as a beastmaster is even better than the most recognized genius in Yan University?
Chi Zi's eyes flickered, and beside her, Ning Xi's face had become extremely ugly.
He never expected that Xia Muqing was so gifted. Not only did she lead the inconspicuous hurricane dog to a new evolutionary path, but she also used the prototype of her magical skills!
What kind of devil high school student is this?!
Thinking back to that day when Chi Zi ranked Xia Muqing first and himself 39th, Ning Xi felt extremely regretful.
If I had known that Chi Zi was fond of that student, why didn’t I get in touch with him earlier?
Why are you just curious, exploring, and trying to figure out what makes her so great instead of getting in touch with her earlier?
Even if it was just to leave a good impression on her, I wouldn't be so passive like I am now!
Ning Xi pinched his eyebrows painfully and began to think frantically.
It’s okay, the competition isn’t over yet, there’s still a chance!
I must think carefully about how to turn the tide and pull Xia Muqing onto the chariot of Magic City University...
Ning Xi was lost in thought.
Suddenly, there was a sound of swallowing saliva from behind.
"Gudong."
A teacher stood up tremblingly and lowered his voice: "Um, I'm going to the bathroom."
“Crash, crash!”
Suddenly, a group of people stood up, and the sound of dragging chairs could be heard one after another.
"I'm going too, Lao Wang, wait for me."
"Wait, I'm going to put some water in too!"
"I...I'm a little hungry. Go get some bread."
"I'll accompany you!"
Ning Xi frowned and stood up and slammed the table a few times.
"Calm down, everyone!"
"The game isn't over yet, the scores haven't been settled yet, and Xia Muqing has to play in the finals tomorrow. Why are you so anxious?"
The judges looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and sat back down.
But soon everyone discovered that they all sat down, but Ning Xi was still standing.
Facing the gazes of the whole room, Ning Xi put his fist to his mouth and coughed softly a few times: "Ahem, I...I'm going to the bathroom."
All teachers: “???”
A group of people rushed forward, and countless hands grabbed Ning Xi tightly.
"No, no one is allowed to leave!"
…
There was also chaos on the field at this moment.
Students from all over J Province stared at Xia Muqing closely, as if she had suddenly turned into Nezha with three heads and six arms.
The No. 1 spot in the personal ranking list had already been changed, but no one paid attention to it. Even the Zhao brothers and sisters who had stepped down in disgrace did not receive even a hint of attention.
Everyone was shocked and curious.
"How did you do that?"
"Can the Swift Dog also become a divine beast?"
"Is there some special breeding method? Her second profound beast, that koi fish, is also very powerful...hiss, they are obviously ordinary species, but they are much more powerful than rare profound beasts!"
"Among the current Divine Beast Masters, is there anyone so young who has mastered the rudiments of Divine Skills? No, did she also break a record?"
Amidst the noisy discussions, Xu Ling and Lu Wenzhen ran up to help her block the crowd that kept pushing forward, and quickly took Xia Muqing back to the hotel.
The two of them were also very surprised. They kept looking at Xia Muqing on the way, which made Xia Muqing feel uneasy: "Why are you...looking at me?"
Xu Ling exclaimed in amazement, "Xia Zi, you're amazing! When did you come up with this prototype of a magical skill? Why didn't you tell me? You scared me so much!"
Xia Muqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Actually, I was shocked too."
"I really didn't prepare this in advance. It was completely improvised by Swift Dog—right, Xiaofeng?"
The Swift Dog lay lazily in her arms, and looked up at the words: "Awooo!"
Xu Ling and Lu Wenzhen were stunned: "Impromptu performance?"
Good, so strong!
Although this Swift Dog is just a common Mystical Beast, its potential has already firmly suppressed all the rare Mystical Beasts in the field and surpassed everyone else.
I don’t know how many people will go straight to the breeding center after today to buy a Swift Dog as their contracted beast.
…
After returning to the hotel, Xia Muqing hurried upstairs to her room before the others caught up with her.
After a day of hard work, she felt a little tired. She turned over and lay on her back in bed, stroking the soft fur of the little Swift Dog: "Xiaofeng, well done."
The Swift Dog hummed a few times and licked her palm gently with its warm little tongue.
Next to him, the koi fish looked at the Swift Dog in confusion, then turned his head to look at his dragon pill with heartache. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and handed the dragon pill in front of the Swift Dog.
"Gurgle!"
Take it and drink it with water!
The Swift Dog opened his eyes wide: "Woo?"
What happened? Did the little koi change its nature?
Do you finally know how to respect your big brother?
The little koi slapped its tail and blew out a string of bubbles: "Gululu gurulu."
The Dragon Pill was not borrowed for nothing, the Gale Dog had to teach it the rudiments of its magical skills.
It also wanted to learn some magical skills, and then make a dashing appearance, stunning everyone and blinding the eyes of all the other mysterious beasts.
The Swift Dog rolled over and stood up: "Woo!"
No problem, this one is cooked!
“Awoo, awoo…”
The prototype of the magical skill is also very simple. Just release the energy first, then release it again, and finally release it all at once.
Koi fish: “…”
Xia Muqing, who listened to the whole process, said: "..."
The Swift Dog gestured with its little paws: "Woo!"
How about it, isn’t it simple?
The koi fish rolled its eyes, rushed forward, swept its tail, and snatched the dragon pill back into its hand.
"Gurgle!"
Ouch, your head!
Swift Dog: “???”
No, it was teaching seriously, why was the little koi scolding the dog?
Seeing that the two mysterious beasts were about to fight again, Xia Muqing quickly got up and acted as a peacemaker: "Okay, Xiao Jin, the prototype of the divine skill can't be rushed."
"It's a special skill created by a profound beast after it has mastered all of its abilities and skills to perfection and mastered them, based on its own situation. Every profound beast's situation is different, and the divine skills they create are also unique."
"You should practice Leaping Dragon Gate first. Once you evolve successfully, you can transform into a dragon even without using any magical skills. It's super powerful!"
The little koi tilted its head, puffed out its cheeks, and spit out a long string of golden bubbles.
That makes sense. Isn't it just the prototype of a magical skill? It doesn't want to follow the same path as the Gale Hound.
It is the one and only Koi King in heaven and on earth, and it also wants to be the one and only Lord Dragon in heaven and earth!
Just wait and see, it will soon develop its own magical skills!
Xia Muqing: "..."
Well, it seems that I have been watching a lot of Xiaojinli’s second-year videos recently.
The Swift Dog clenched its furry little paw and licked the tip of its paw angrily: "Woo hum."
At this moment, a series of car horns suddenly came from outside the window.
Xia Muqing looked out the window and found that the area outside was crowded with cars. Cars were crowded at the intersection, and the windows were rolled down, revealing the anxious faces of admissions teachers from various universities.
Xia Muqing was stunned.
So, so many people!
Xia Muqing realized she had severely underestimated the appeal of the prototype of divine skills and the use of divine beasts. Looking at the admissions teachers' lustful, wolf-like eyes, she pressed her back against the wall and shuddered.
She couldn't stay in this hotel anymore, otherwise she wouldn't be able to have a good rest tonight.
But the door is blocked, where else can I get out?
"Buzz—"
Xia Muqing was looking around when suddenly, her cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone: "Hello... Cheng Zizhuo?"
"What did you say, you are in Jiang City?"
…
At the station a few kilometers away from the hotel, Cheng Zizhuo, carrying a black canvas bag, took off his baseball cap and looked up at the gradually darkening sky.
"Are you at the Ganghwa Hotel?"
He glanced at his watch, and his affirmative tone made people feel quite safe: "Wait a moment, I'll be there in ten minutes."
Xia Muqing was very surprised: "No, what are you doing in Jiang City?"
Cheng Zizhuo: "When you hung up the phone yesterday, you said something happened and your voice sounded a little flustered. I thought about it and still felt uneasy, so I just came over to take a look."
"Well, is there anything I can do to help?"
Xia Muqing was stunned.
——This person traveled thousands of miles from Yandu all the way to Jiang City, just because her voice on the phone yesterday was not right?
"You..." Xia Muqing suddenly didn't know how to start. "Why didn't you call and ask first? The problem yesterday has been solved, but now..."
She raised her head and glanced at the traffic jam outside the window: "...It seems there is a new problem."
Xia Muqing briefly explained her situation. When Cheng Zizhuo heard that her mysterious beast had used the rudiments of a magical skill, he was so shocked that his wrist shook and he almost dropped his phone.
Luckily, he reacted quickly enough, catching the fallen phone and holding it to his ear. "Oh my god, you're so cool! If I'd known there was such an exciting battle, I should have flown over here last night... You're stuck in the hotel now? No problem, I have a solution!"
"Come to the window and wait for me for three minutes!"
Xia Muqing held her cell phone, stood by the window curiously, and pushed open the tall window frame.
A few minutes later, in the distant twilight, the outline of a dark shadow gradually emerged, passing through the clouds, revealing a slender and graceful figure.
Above the sea of clouds, the colorful bluebird's gorgeous wings rolled up the rosy clouds, as if it was a fairy bird descending from the sky.
On the bird's back, Cheng Zizhuo waved his hand high at her. His dark pupils were clean and bright, like soft sunlight, and the sunset glow and the new moon were reflected in his clear eyes, sparkling brightly.
Xia Muqing understood immediately.
In the sky full of clouds, she grabbed the Swift Dog and the Koi Fish, climbed out of the window, and jumped into the scorching wind - landing right on the broad back of the Colorful Cloud Bluebird.
Cheng Zizhuo grabbed her wrist and held her body to keep her from losing balance. He wore a white sweatshirt with a dark blue tracksuit loosely layered over it. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing his lean, white arms, with smooth lines and firm, full muscles.
The colorful bluebird let out a pleasant whistle, then spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
Below, many heads popped out of the crowded car windows, staring blankly at the colorful clouds and bluebirds soaring in the sky with dull expressions.
"What is that? A flying-type profound beast... Is the person on its back Xia Muqing?"
"It seems... yes."
"Hiss! The person has run away, why are we still blocking the way?"
"Look where they're going!"
"...No, the sunlight is too bright, I can't see clearly!"
Amidst the noisy discussions, in a black car, Ning Xi looked at the dark shadow that was getting farther and farther away in the sky, holding a thick stack of documents in his arms, his brows almost twisted together.
Not far away, in another white SUV, Chi Zi stared at the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed, and murmured suspiciously: "This mysterious beast looks so familiar..."
"This color... Colorful Clouds and Bluebirds?"
She seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and her eyes flashed.
"I'm going, Cheng Zizhuo?"
