Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 80 You're Such a Tiger

"Amber! If you win the match without using your talent, you'll get a bonus today! If you lose or use your talent again, then you'll only get meal replacement dumplings!"

Although Amber's reaction and judgment surprised Lin Manman, Amber's talent was like a bug in front of Zhao Jingcheng. Letting Amber use her talent to fight Zhao Jingcheng would not achieve the effect she wanted to achieve in training Amber.

Zhao Jingcheng, the free sparring partner: ...

"Hahaha, the living Yama is confirmed, isn't he?"

"Who's so kind as to treat a competition like a training ground?"

"I thought with her skills, there wouldn't be much to see before the finals. Well, well, well, the real fun is definitely with our Sister Man!"

"This opponent is too pathetic. Losing isn't scary; what's scary is that he wasn't even worthy of White Tiger's full strength as a sparring partner!"

As Wu Jingyu listened to the audience laughing and criticizing Lin Manman, she couldn't help but laugh as well.

Wu Jingfeng, who was hidden in the crowd, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene. It seemed that he had made the right decision this time.

When Amber heard that it was going to eat meal replacement balls, it shook its head fiercely. No way! It would never eat balls again! It wanted to eat meat!!

Driven by the desire for delicious food, Amber immediately relinquished its Divine Flame Glazed Body. Having just taken a bullet from that man, it had gained some understanding of his attack power. It was still confident it could win the match without relying on its talent!

"So this is what a mythical White Tiger is like?" This thought flashed through the minds of Zhao Jingcheng and the audience at the same time.

Having had a direct confrontation, Amber had gained experience. This time, it didn't rush to pounce, but instead created a small distance between itself and Zhao Jingcheng, rapidly and continuously unleashing fireballs at him from different angles.

Fireballs attacked Zhao Jingcheng from different directions, but Zhao Jingcheng neither retreated nor dodged. He wielded his spear with impenetrable skill, deflecting all the fireballs that came at him.

Seeing that so many fireballs had failed to hit the opponent, Amber slapped her claws and conjured a fiery clone.

It has to win today so it can eat meat!

Amber manipulated her clone to separate herself from the clone, simultaneously unleashing fireballs at Zhao Jingcheng.

In order to suppress Zhao Jingcheng, it even learned to launch three fireballs at once without any instruction.

One main body and one clone launch numerous and fast fireballs from different directions, making it look like a grand fireworks display from afar, both dazzling and dangerous.

Zhao Jingcheng was on the verge of tears. Shouldn't the spirit beast engage him in close combat? Why would it think of using a fireball spell to wear him down from a distance?

He had to put on an energy shield, dodging with agile movements while using his spear to deflect the fireballs he couldn't avoid.

Seeing that he had finally been forced to defend and had no time to spare, Amber hurriedly used fireballs to suppress him while constantly closing in.

As the distance closed, Zhao Jingcheng was attacked by fireballs more frequently. Even when he tried to dodge and attack, he was still hit by many fireballs on his shield.

At this moment, it wasn't that he didn't notice Amber's approach, but he simply couldn't escape this meteor shower of fireball attacks.

Amber finally understood what Lin Manman had said earlier: against such agile and fast warriors, the closer the range of its fireball attack, the greater its destructive power and the less likely it is to be dodged.

Amber originally wanted to get closer to Zhao Jingcheng and give him a couple more close-range attacks, but when the opponent's shield was depleted by the fireball, he shouted that he had to admit defeat.

This was Amber's first solo battle, and it was abruptly stopped, leaving it somewhat unsatisfied.

But when it saw the audience cheering for it, it became so proud that it only remembered to raise its head and walk demurely toward its beast tamer.

"Well done! You won this match all by yourself, amazing! You'll get an extra two pieces of meat when we get back!"

Lin Manman watched Amber walk with elegant cat-like steps, looking like a victorious general returning in triumph. She quickly and tactfully offered her compliments and a reward.

"Aww~" Tiger is so awesome~

Amber tried hard to maintain its idol image, but its constantly trembling beard betrayed its inner joy and pride.

After the referee announced the result, Lin Manman greeted Zhao Jingcheng and, under his mournful yet longing gaze, put away the amber and walked towards the audience.

Although Amber and she are still very eye-catching, this isn't the first time the audience has seen White Tiger, and they are now able to control their emotions much better.

"I've finished my competition, can we go back now?" Lin Manman seemed to be talking to Xia Ming, but she was actually talking to her senior brother who was there but hadn't seen him.

"By the way, senior brother, could you ask Commander Wu for me? I'd like to take my healing spirit pet to the area where they have wounded soldiers to practice its skills. Is that possible?"

Xia Zhen's Messenger Inscription: ...

Her bracelet didn't respond for a long time, as if it was also speechless at her suggestion.

"Can I...can I come along?" Wu Jingyu looked at Xiao Qi on Lin Manman's head, a strange light flickering in his usually calm eyes.

Lin Manman was stunned. She didn't even know if Wu Anbang would agree, so how could she give him an answer?

Before she could even finish speaking, her bracelet finally sent a message.

[You can go, take her with you.]

Such a concise answer. Lin Manman looked at the message and then at Wu Jingyu, feeling that she was benefiting from his fame.

"Sure! Of course!" she smiled kindly at Wu Jingyu.

Seeing Wu Jingyu's gaze constantly drifting towards the top of her head, she thought for a moment and casually placed Xiao Qi, who was on her head, into her arms.

Xiao Qi has always been very shy, but it seems to get along very well with her. In the morning, Wu Jingyu simply greeted it gently, and it fell into her hands.

Xia Ming seemed to have also received Wu Jingfeng's message, and got up to lead the two of them.

"Miss, please come with me. We've arranged for someone to pick you up. But before we leave, we need to make some preparations." With that, he led the way outside.

Lin Manman and Wu Jingyu exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

They soon found out what Xia Ming meant by "preparation." Xia Ming led them to a secluded locker room inside a competition venue, where four people in work uniforms were already waiting.

The four people consisted of two men and two women. The two women were in their early twenties, and one of the men also looked to be in his early twenties, while the other looked to be in his forties.

"Miss, please go inside and change into these clean clothes." Xia Ming took the bag from one of the ladies and handed it to them. He also gestured towards the door on the inside.

Hearing Xia Ming's words, Lin Manman hadn't yet realized what he was about to do.

The man in his forties took out a staff from his spatial ring, and gently tapped one end of the staff on the ground. The two women and the other man transformed into the three of them right before her eyes.

Seeing Lin Manman's wide eyes, Wu Jingyu kindly explained, "This is a spell applied to pure mental power, which can change how people around you perceive the person being cast. Let's go change our clothes."

As she spoke, she pulled the bewildered Lin Manman into the inner cubicle.

The spells cast by mages rely on projecting their mental energy to manipulate different elemental energies within space for attacks. Spells cast using pure mental energy are extremely rare.

This was the first time Lin Manman had ever heard of such a skill.
