Just then, a handsome man appeared out of nowhere next to them.
He stared at the lightning tribulation before him, his face filled with astonishment:
"Huh~ It really is leveling up to level nine. This little guy is so young and he can already reach level nine. He's lucky."
"This is a spirit beast undergoing tribulation; the person doesn't need to be struck by lightning, right? Aren't you going to drag the person back?" Fang Yuan asked tentatively.
After all, judging from Ouyang Xu's appearance, he probably wanted to leave.
"I don't know, my spirit beast has never been this powerful before," Wu Yu shrugged.
Hmph, if he can contract a royal beast as a pet, shouldn't he be punished?
"Let's pull him back, Ouyang is almost gone," Xu Shaoyang said.
If he were in that situation, he wouldn't want to stand there and get hit by the hammer.
"Don't worry, the little guy won't let him get struck by lightning. He'll be able to form a royal beast contract after taking a few lightning strikes. He's hit the jackpot," the handsome man said.
If we don't teach him a lesson, how easy will it be for him to form a contract with a royal beast?
"You are...you're not a professor at the Training Institute, are you?"
Fang Yuan looked at this person; he didn't seem to have seen him at the training academy before.
"I'm from the Combat Academy. I never expected to see a kid who has advanced to the ninth rank today. I heard you raised him?" The man looked at Fang Yuan with some emotion.
This girl has a lot of secrets, but she is indeed quite capable. Perhaps he could give her a try.
"Yes, I didn't expect it to advance so suddenly. I was almost the one who got struck down," Fang Yuan said, still shaken.
I never imagined that raising spirit beasts would also be risky.
"Sizzle~~"
Another bolt of lightning struck, and Ouyang Xu was already knocked to the ground.
"唳~~"
A somewhat angry yet tender chirp rang out, and the bird inside the egg finally hatched.
Like a flame, it shot straight toward the empty lightning bolt.
"Sizzle~~"
The lightning struck it, but it didn't hinder it much; it continued flying in the sky in a different direction.
The lightning bolts all chased after it, striking everywhere, and for a time the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, creating a truly magnificent spectacle.
Ouyang Xu, who was lying on the ground, gradually recovered and managed to lift himself up and move to the side.
Those lightning bolts just now almost killed him.
"Let's go save them!" Fang Yuan quickly called out to Jiang Cheng and the others upon seeing this.
"Alright! I'll send Xiaoyue."
Jiang Cheng then released his Howling Moon, letting it bring the person back.
"Do you guys even have any love left? How can you just stand by and watch me get attacked?" Ouyang Xu, having caught his breath, looked at the three of them with a rather unfriendly expression.
They could have saved him earlier, but they just stood there watching, causing him to get struck by lightning several times.
"Captain, you're wrong. This is the first time we've seen this situation. Who knows if the lightning will strike you after you leave?" Wu Yu replied.
Since they're not from the same legion, he's not afraid of offending him!
“That’s right, you’ve already contracted a spirit beast with royal bloodline, so what’s wrong with getting hit by a few lightning bolts?” Xu Shaoyang also said.
"I know you're just jealous of me, but I'm in a good mood today so I won't argue with you," Ouyang Xu said smugly with a cold snort.
He then continued to look at the small flame in the sky that had been struck by lightning, his heart still clenching.
"Won't the little fire get damaged by the fire?"
This is a royal beast! If it gets killed by this, he'll be devastated.
"Don't worry, the little guy is a Qingluan, he'll be fine," the handsome man replied, glancing at him.
"Azure Phoenix? You can see its true form?"
They looked for a long time and could only see a ball of fire. How did this person see its true form?
The man did not reply and continued to watch the situation in the sky.
After several claps of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.
Then the ball of flame flew towards Ouyang Xu.
When it landed in his arms, it had turned into a tiny little baby.
"Are you my master?" the little baby asked in a childish voice.
"Yes...yes!"
Ouyang Xu looked at the baby in his arms and suddenly started to stutter.
After all, this was the first time he had ever seen a royal beast, and the key point was that it had turned into a human.
"How could you be so wicked? How could you make a contract with me when I was undergoing my tribulation? You almost made me get struck by lightning and killed."
The little baby said unhappily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know the contract would affect your tribulation. I promise I won't do it again next time!" Ouyang Xu quickly coaxed.
His main fear was that it would leave after it survived the ordeal, and then he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"Really?" it asked Ouyang Xu with a doubt.
The handsome man beside her chuckled, but said nothing.
A little baby is just a little baby; they've never seen the wickedness of human nature and can be easily appeased with a single sentence.
"Really, I really didn't know. This is the first time I've ever contracted such a powerful baby as you," Ouyang Xu continued to coax.
It instructed, "Hmph! Now that you've made a contract with me, you have to find me delicious food from now on, understand?"
"I know, I know, don't worry, I'll definitely find you lots of delicious food in the future." Ouyang Xu wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded.
This was his first time contracting a spirit beast that could transform into a human, and he had no idea how to get along with it.
"I'm hungry! I want to eat fire spirit essence and meat!" the little guy said, making his demands directly.
It felt like it almost starved to death while it was in its shell, but thankfully someone fed it something good.
Thinking of this, it looked at Fang Yuan, and its eyes lit up: "You fed me the delicious food, didn't you? I remember your taste."
As it spoke, it jumped from Ouyang's arms onto Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan quickly caught him, "Yes, you almost ate me out of house and home."
This little guy has taken so many medicinal baths, and each time he's absorbed everything, almost ruining all the spiritual plants she's cultivating.
"Hehe, I'll protect you from now on!" the little guy said in his childish voice.
Its inherited memories tell it that it is very powerful here and will definitely be able to protect this human in the future.
"Then thank you in advance!" Fang Yuan replied, both amused and exasperated.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of such a tiny little one protecting her.
However, this guy is a royal beast, so it's okay even if he's small.
"Little guy, you'd better grow up quickly. You're not even fully grown yet, how dare you say you'll protect someone!" said the professor who claimed to be from the Combat Academy.
It's not even fully grown yet, and it already knows how to be shy; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to transform into human form.
It was actually afraid of people seeing its incompletely grown feathers; it was a vain little thing.
