In reality, there was no poison pond or rock thorns on the battle platform.

It just rolled and howled on the battle platform like a mangy dog, both miserable and comical.

The audience was stunned.

“Is this Zhen Gua Gui Yan’s innate skill, Poison Official? It’s even more terrifying than mental skills.”

“It’s said it can alter cognitive thinking.”

“So... at this rate, is Zhen Gua Gui Yan going for a 1v3?”

“Winning against a stronger opponent is already impressive enough, but a 1v3?”

“As expected of a naturally born and raised species, it’s truly unique.”

The discussions of the audience and the analyses of the commentators naturally didn’t reach Mingxi and Bright Crystal’s ears.

“Don’t give it a chance to clear its head and counterattack, Bai Yujing!”

Mingxi’s voice pierced through the thin mist, entering Bright Crystal’s muddled brain.

Clear its head?

What did that mean?

Bai Yujing? What was Bai Yujing?

Was she calling it?

It...

Wasn’t...

Called...

That’s right!

It was Bright Crystal, and also Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing was its given name!

It was the given name its Beast Tamers specifically chose for it! Its unique privilege!

“Zhen Gua?”

Bright Crystal’s enormous body suddenly shrank, and it looked back at the command platform.

The cloudy bloodshot in its single eye slowly dissipated, though it hadn't yet returned to a clear state.

“Good heavens! It recovered its rationality so easily! Does this mean the Half Fierce Nirvana state can still be controlled? If used well, wouldn’t it be like a cracked cheat?”

Guangguang exclaimed, using a somewhat apt analogy.

If the Half Fierce Nirvana state could truly be controlled at will, then even if Bright Crystal could never evolve to the Saint Level, its combat power would definitely crush Golden Yuanbao and the others.

There would be no more struggle or discomfort about falling behind Transcendent creatures.

In the Half Fierce Nirvana state, if Bright Crystal said “I’m invincible” again, wouldn’t it be justified?

“Zhen Gua.”

Sensing Mingxi’s thoughts, Bright Crystal’s large eyes suddenly lit up, with no hint of ferocity remaining, and the aura of recklessness, ‘leave me alone, I’m crazy,’ and ‘I’m a killing god’ clearly faded away.

It had clearly sobered up for the most part.

“Don’t just stand there, finish the fight quickly.”

The Poison Official skill also had a time limit, not to mention the opponent was Saya Pithinosono, one major level higher than Bright Crystal.

Don't get ahead of yourself before the match results are announced!

“Boom!”

Bright Crystal was very obedient, leaping onto Saya Pithinosono, who was still rolling and wailing.

Its diamond head combined with a violent Headbutt gave the large ice dragon a quick end!

After succeeding with one strike, Bright Crystal also collapsed into the pile of rubble, panting heavily.

Its energy was completely depleted.

In the Half Fierce Nirvana state, its defense and attack were greatly enhanced, while its consumption decreased inversely.

More invincible than invincible.

But after this state was lifted, it would quickly enter a weakened state, even weaker than Golden Yuanbao in its early days after using Thunder God's Wrath.

Its small face was deathly pale, its arms and legs were as soft as noodles, and its energy value was completely drained, not a single drop left.

Mingxi: “...”

། – _ – །

So her decision just now to have Bright Crystal finish it off quickly was absolutely a divine enlightenment.

“...3:0, Mingxi wins, 1 point!”

After the intelligent referee announced the result of the battle, Mingxi and Qiu Qite bowed to each other amidst the fervent cheers of the audience, then left the command platform.

Mingxi didn’t send Bright Crystal back to the Pet Space; instead, she walked onto the battle platform and held it in her arms.

“If you’re tired, take a nap. Tonight, I’ll take you all to a good place where we can release all our stress.”

Mingxi patted its back and shoulders as if holding a baby.

“Zhen Gua.”

Bright Crystal was as soft as a puddle of water, its voice weak and breathless, as if possessed by a whining monster.

Such a Bright Crystal, inexplicably, had a certain charm that made one pity it.

Achieving the feat of a 1v3 in the very first group stage points match, Bright Crystal proved its strength in the most brutal way.

Weak?

Not possible!

I am forever number one in the world!

Mingxi’s lips curved into a barely perceptible arc.

...

Saint Shield City remained bustling on a summer night.

The energy of excitement and madness was no different from daytime. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

SWS Advanced Level SPA Club.

The air was filled with the expensive scent of Star Bloom Flower essential oil, and the faint energy of spring water said to be drawn from glaciers three thousand meters underground and volcanic lava.

It made one’s tense nerves involuntarily relax.

Mingxi half-closed her eyes, her entire body like a “lying dead salted fish” sinking into the soft massage bed.

The threat of the Origin of Life and Destruction and the continuous hard work of the past few days felt like heavy lead weights pressing on her heart.

At this moment, under the professional therapist’s perfectly executed skills and massage techniques, her sore, tense muscles were kneaded open, and her long-accumulated fatigue was dispersed.

Warm energy flowed through her meridians, circulating throughout her body.

How long had it been since Mingxi had been this relaxed?

It truly was necessary to “steal half a day of leisure from a busy life.”

“Xiaoxiao?”

Xiaoxiaole, who was sitting on her back and using skills like ‘massage’ and ‘nourish,’ asked very gently.

A translation subtitle appeared on the LCD screen opposite Mingxi at the opportune moment — “Guest, is the pressure okay?”

“Good.”

Xiaoxiaole was, of course, a Transcendent creature, a fairy-type Transcendent creature.

A type of Pet beast favored by lifestyle Beast Tamers on Blue Star, gentle in nature, good-looking, and whose skills were mostly auxiliary, making them very suitable for working outside and supporting a family.

A favorite of lazy Beast Tamers.

They could often be seen in places like beauty salons and physical therapy centers.

The Xiaoxiaole attending to Mingxi was clearly an ‘experienced technician,’ with skilled techniques and perfectly applied abilities.

More importantly, it was also exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

This spa club was recommended by Katherine Listavey Rhodes.

Including this Technician No. 6.

Oh.

And ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ the psychological therapists who provided spiritual comfort for Golden Yuanbao and the other eight also demonstrated superb skill.

After the spiritual comfort, Golden Yuanbao and the others’ mental states were clearly less tense than before.

If it weren’t for Little Silver Flower’s personality being truly unsuitable for learning such spiritual comfort and emotional release skills, Mingxi would have wanted to find some Skill Stone for Little Silver Flower.

“Golden Yuanbao, how are things on your side?”

In Mingxi’s private room, there were only Little Silver Flower, Chiyu, Xue Qingting, and Bright Crystal.

Since Transcendent creatures had genders, there should naturally be a separation of sexes.

As for the genderless Bright Crystal, it decided to stay with Mingxi and the others, and was now wearing its red soul tuan, forced to stay in a nearby cold spring pool, being scrubbed by Chiyu.

However, Golden Yuanbao and the others weren’t far, just next door, separated only by a curtain.

If anything happened, they could hear a call, so there was no need to worry about anyone being abducted.

“Yuan Shi.”

Golden Yuanbao lazily responded, its voice indicating it was also in a relaxed and comfortable state.
