"Sigh~"
Qian Kun sighed slightly, feeling helpless about this young man who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Moreover, he couldn't refuse a student's challenge, could he?
Besides, Ouyang Yuan, the top student, hadn't been challenged in a long time… "Alright, I'll make the arrangements…"
After getting the confirmation, Tang Miao left.
Knowing the opponent's background, Tang Miao decided to summon a summoned beast first! He had originally planned to wait until after the challenge match, but now his plans were disrupted, so he could only do it earlier… Returning to a quiet spot behind the teaching building, Tang Miao closed his eyes and slowly began to connect the Summoning Element star-dust. Auxiliary tools, such a luxury, were clearly not something he could possess.
The Summoning Element star-dust was transparent, occasionally shimmering with moonlight. As Tang Miao orderly arranged the internal star-dust, the moonlight glow became even more pronounced, and the seven star-dust connected into a star-path resembling a shallow crescent moon.
The star-path appeared, accompanying Tang Miao's body.
They were like a glowing, moonlit cutting line, slowly tearing open a rift in normal space, leading to another dimension.
Tang Miao's eyes had opened, his pupils deep and vast. His body stood silently behind the teaching building, but his soul seemed to have wandered far, reaching another mysterious dimensional kingdom.
A black orbit, a moonlit dimensional gate, Tang Miao felt as if he had instantly burst from a dark, narrow cave into a suddenly open paradise, a brand new continent appearing before his eyes.
With a thought, he traversed tens of thousands of meters. Tang Miao could feel himself swiftly soaring over that dreamlike land, those creatures that ran very fast on the ground were instantly left behind, out of sight beyond the horizon.
After a period of wandering, Tang Miao encountered several demon beasts: eagles, hounds, wolves, and snakes.
However, he felt he could look around a bit more.
After encountering some small animals consecutively, he still hadn't found anything to his satisfaction. Just as he felt his magic consumption was nearing half and he was about to go back and get a wolf, a tiger's roar echoed from afar.
Upon hearing this tiger's roar, Tang Miao immediately followed the sound.
Then, he saw a giant white tiger, roaring continuously.
The white tiger ignored Tang Miao when it saw him, preparing to turn and leave. Tang Miao leaped up and blocked its path.
The white tiger was displeased, then let out another roar!
The white tiger's strength seemed to have reached the Commander level. To encounter a Commander-level pet on his first summon was truly rare!
"Absolute Zero!"
Seeing the white tiger's utter disdain, Tang Miao released his powerful cold air. Of course, there was nothing here, but in reality, a thick layer of ice had already formed around him!
It was fortunate that no one was nearby, otherwise, this would have caused quite a stir. Dual-element Soul Seed, this was definitely a once-in-a-century occurrence!
And in the dimensional space.
After sensing the ice-element aura emanating from Tang Miao, the white tiger was slightly startled. It clearly hadn't expected that a mage who had just reached the Intermediate level would possess such powerful ice magic!
After another roar, its previous disdain had completely vanished, and it obediently nestled beside Tang Miao, seemingly even with a hint of flattery.
Immediately, Tang Miao transformed his mental imprint into a gentle light, which then sprinkled onto the white tiger. And in that instant, a mental brand appeared on the white tiger's forehead.
Upon completing the final step of the summoning, Tang Miao's consciousness swiftly left that semi-illusory continent,
and instantly returned to the backyard where he was.
As before, no one had come there.
The domain power was withdrawn, and the wandering of his consciousness seemed to have been a journey, but in reality, not much time had passed.
And that moonlit star-path did not disappear early like other elemental systems; it was a spatial rift that tore open two dimensions. The white tiger, branded with Tang Miao's mental imprint, cautiously yet curiously poked its silvery-white, somewhat fierce tiger head out from within… When it saw Tang Miao, it seemed to relax. It walked directly out of the moon-white star-path rift and came to Tang Miao's side, its black pupils scanning the surroundings.
Finally, it looked at Tang Miao and rolled over, playfully acting like a house cat in front of him.
Tang Miao looked at the mountain-sized white tiger with a look of disdain and sneered, "You're a Commander-level summoned beast, and you're still acting spoiled?"
"Roar~ Roar~"
The white tiger let out a few soft roars, completely unashamed.
"Alright, from now on, you'll be called Little White! Follow your dad, and becoming a Monarch in the future isn't a dream."
Tang Miao had already established a contract with it, so the white tiger naturally understood what Tang Miao said.
It seemed to have no doubt about what Tang Miao said. It even flatteringly stretched out its huge head and rubbed against Tang Miao's cheek.
Tang Miao let it stay for a moment, then sent it back. After all, there was no fight today.
With the Commander-level Little White, all the issues of exposure seemed to instantly disappear. Why would he need to expose anything now?
However, the white tiger seemed to have sensed his thoughts and regretfully told him that its strength had been suppressed when their contract was formed… Now, it could only exert the combat power of a Servant-level beast. Only when Tang Miao advanced to the Intermediate Summoning Element could it recover its strength.
The excitement he had felt earlier instantly dissipated… This was seriously a bit of a scam!
It was clearly a Commander-level tiger, yet it could only exert Servant-level power… However, no matter what, at least this guy saved him a considerable amount of money. When he reached Intermediate Summoning, he wouldn't need to spend money on advancement items anymore.
After summoning a decent subordinate, Tang Miao headed back to the dormitory. He had expended a lot of energy today and urgently needed some rest.
After all, he still had a fight tomorrow!
When Tang Miao returned to his long-unseen dormitory, his three roommates were clearly startled. After all, they hadn't seen Tang Miao in two months.
Yang Yue smiled and asked, "Boss, where have you been enjoying yourself these past two months?"
Li Ning and the other roommate, Wang Tian, also looked at Tang Miao.
Tang Miao, with a straight face, bluffed, "Nightclubs, bars, KTVs, of course. Why even ask, young men? Life needs fun, and for me, that's the best kind of fun."
