“...Let us congratulate the youngest Beastmaster, Mingxi, for becoming the first champion of our Changheng Cup!”

At this moment, the host's impassioned voice echoed through the stadium, accompanied by even more excited cheers from the audience.

They shouted Mingxi’s name, celebrating this thrilling moment together.

Before today, no one had expected a girl who had awakened less than a month ago to achieve such impressive results.

It was simply a miracle.

Not to mention the Thunder Demon Bird evolving to the Advanced Level; this year's Changheng Cup was destined to be deeply etched in history.

Thunderous applause erupted in the stands.

“Lei Yan Great Wind is awesome!”

“How do I feel like the Thunder Demon Bird is a bit too strong after evolving? It’s understandable to instantly kill Dream Color Dew in the semifinals, as it’s well-known that fairy-type pet beasts are squishy, but it even easily defeated the Frost Odd-looking Lion-like Tiger. Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”

“You're not wrong. That Frost Odd-looking Lion-like Tiger of Fu Sushu was extremely well-trained, yet it wasn't a match for the Lei Yan Great Wind. The Lei Yan Great Wind is indeed powerful!”

“Actually, it’s not that surprising. The Thunder Demon Bird itself has the reputation of being the ceiling for Intermediate Level pet beast combat power, much stronger than Flickering Owl, the other evolution path of the Golden Feather Finch. Its only fatal flaw that people have always criticized is its inability to evolve.”

“The Lei Yan Great Wind could defeat a Si Saimoka Dragon, which was one level higher than it, when it was still a Thunder Demon Bird. What’s so strange about it defeating a Frost Odd-looking Lion-like Tiger now?”

“That’s true, Mingxi’s Lei Yan Great Wind was already very strong; it just became even stronger after evolving.”

“Once the Thunder Demon Bird’s evolution method is revealed, who would still choose the Flickering Owl evolution chain? The difference is truly not ordinary.”

“Not necessarily. After all, the Flickering Owl evolution chain can perfectly evolve to the Royal Level, but the Thunder Demon Bird is currently only at the Advanced Level. Who knows what stage its final form will reach? Perhaps the Advanced Level is its peak? So, for a long time in the future, Beast Tamers with long-term plans who choose the Flickering Owl evolution chain will definitely still be the majority.”

“You’re right. The Lei Yan Great Wind is indeed very strong among Advanced Level pet beasts, but if it remains unable to evolve like it did as a Thunder Demon Bird, then no matter how strong it is, it’s just for show.”

“However, it definitely won’t become extinct like it did as a Thunder Demon Bird. After all, for many Beast Tamers, cultivating an Advanced Level pet beast is already the peak they can reach in their lifetime.”

After the initial shock, many spectators had calmed down and began to rationally analyze the successful evolution of the Thunder Demon Bird.

Of course, they were still excited, after all, the Lei Yan Great Wind was a brand new evolutionary form!

Next was a simple yet grand awards ceremony.

The one presenting the award to Mingxi was Fu Ting, the chairman of Changheng Group.

The task originally assigned to his eldest son was intercepted by him midway.

He rushed over after learning that Mingxi had appeared in the finals, putting aside his official duties.

He happened to witness his eldest grandson's Frost Odd-looking Lion-like Tiger being utterly defeated.

Fu «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Ting stood in front of Mingxi, smiling as he handed her the spatial button he had specially commissioned a master to customize for his eldest grandson.

There were also flowers and a custom-made trophy.

“Congratulations on winning the championship, Xiao Guniang. You are very capable; keep it up.”

Mingxi took the flowers and prizes, flashing a brilliant smile at the face in front of her, which resembled Fu Yifan’s.

“Thank you, Chairman Fu.”

Fu Ting nodded with satisfaction, having a very good impression of the young girl before him.

Unfortunately, the awards stage was not suitable for pleasantries.

Otherwise, he would definitely pull Xiao Guniang aside for a good chat.

Watching his own grandfather, who had just presented the award to Mingxi and then turned to leave without even glancing at him, Fu Sushu almost rolled his eyes to the heavens.

Grandpa, do you still remember that you have a biological grandson who needs your care?

Fu Ting forgot his eldest grandson, but he remembered his youngest grandson!

He sent his pet beast to catch Fu Yifan, who was trying to sneak away.

Standing in the stadium’s reception room, Fu Yifan looked up, down, left, and right, just not at his grandfather.

This guilty demeanor made Fu Ting both annoyed and amused.

“You’re something, Fu Fanfan. You even know to have your subordinates hide things from your grandfather. Your father and them weren’t this bold at your age. You’ve truly surpassed your teachers, haven’t you?”

A warning. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

A blatant warning.

Fu Yifan shrank his neck, his eyes darting around, still trying to argue: “Grandpa, Mingxi is my Junior, not your Junior. I thought you guys weren’t really concerned about her coming back anyway, so I wasn’t in a hurry to inform you.”

This time, Fu Ting was truly angered into laughter.

Was he not in a hurry to inform? He hadn't informed them at all!

The one who informed him was the person in charge of the Changheng Cup!

“You’re still being reasonable? How cold-blooded and heartless must your father and grandfather be in your eyes for you to have the misconception that we don't care if Mingxi can come back?”

Even if they were strangers who had never met Mingxi, she was still a life, and an astonishingly talented genius at that.

Moreover, Mingxi’s incident happened because she entered the Changheng Secret Realm.

How could they not care?

This kid probably hasn't had enough bamboo shoot fried pork lately.

Fu Yifan also knew that he was in the wrong on this matter. He gave two awkward laughs and began to ponder what kind of pleading posture would be more graceful.

Fu Ting had watched his youngest grandson grow up. It was no exaggeration to say that if he moved an eyebrow or lifted a leg, he could guess whether he wanted meat buns or sandwiches for breakfast.

Seeing his pouting expression at this moment, how could he not understand his thoughts?

“Alright, stop racking your brain trying to figure out how to suffer less. I’ll be benevolent and give you a chance to make amends directly. Go contact Mingxi and tell her that this old man wants to treat her to lunch.”

Right now, he was more interested in that little girl Mingxi and temporarily couldn't be bothered to discipline his youngest grandson.

Fu Yifan knew that his grandfather wanted to inquire about Mingxi’s experiences in the Mystic Ground.

Without another word, he called Mingxi in front of his grandfather; after all, his Junior would definitely not refuse.

Mingxi indeed agreed.

Mingxi also knew the purpose of Fu Ting wanting to see her. It just so happened that she also wanted to inquire about some matters, and Fu Ting, as the head of the Fu Family, was undoubtedly the best candidate.

With the spatial button in hand, Mingxi immediately bound it.

The sooner it was bound, the sooner she could enjoy it, and this item was too coveted. She had to try to avoid any complications.

After binding it, she transferred some of the items stored in the Time Realm to it.

The reason she didn't transfer everything was because the spatial button was only 5 cubic meters in size, and among the things she had stored in the Time Realm, the wine immortal honey honeycomb alone weighed over a thousand jin.

The spatial button simply wasn't large enough.

The honeycomb took up too much space, but she was reluctant to throw it away.

She thought she still had to find a way to sell the honeycomb, otherwise she would have to keep using the Time Realm's storage function.

Purely wasting reward time!

To show his Pay attention to of Mingxi, Fu Ting specially set the lunch location at the Fu Family Manor.
