Meanwhile,
A number of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits found the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, who was recovering from its wounds through the mountain fire. After recounting the earlier events, the latter was enraged and led a group of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits to the place where Spark last appeared.
It initially didn’t want to bother with yesterday’s feud, but the fellow who made it lose face dared to come here voluntarily. Wasn’t he disrespecting it?
With this thought, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch became furious, crouching here with countless Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, waiting for Spark to appear.
This time, it meant to make Spark pay with blood.
However, after a long time, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch did not see the appearance of the Flame Cloud Falcon, and it was already growing weary.
Did that guy escape from somewhere else?
The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch glanced at the bottomless pit, its emotions churning.
Forget it, this time it will spare its life; next time they meet, it will show it its strength.
The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch turned around, its flaming body standing on the ground, about to leave with the dense Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, when suddenly it felt a terrible aura rapidly approaching, causing its body to shiver and an uncontrollable hint of fear to emerge inside.
This aura was overwhelmingly powerful, making it tremble with fear, so powerful that it wanted to flee.
But it was the king.
The king would not flee.
So the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch stood its ground, lifting its head, its blazing white eyes gazing forward.
"Chirp~"
The sound was extremely familiar, just with a more lingering, melodic tone and exceptionally penetrating, instantly intimidating all Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, including the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.
Just hearing this call, it felt terrifying.
But why did this sound seem so familiar?
The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch looked up dumbfounded, suddenly seeing a golden-red figure gracefully emerge from the deep pit, fiery waves of flame closing in from all directions.
But it simply fluttered its wings lightly, its golden-red eyes seemingly shining bright, causing the fire waves to disperse momentarily, and the Flame Stream to calm.
The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch did not recognize this noble and elegant, strong Pet Beast, but it discovered something from the latter’s eyes—this guy knew it.
Suddenly, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch shivered all over, its soul trembling.
It thought of an incredibly frightening possibility.
Just as the thought arose, the mighty Pet Beast above them circled overhead, its broad wings scattering dense multicolored fire sparks, covering the sky and overwhelming them.
In an instant, raging flames ravaged everything.
The sunset’s afterglow cast upon the world, giving the Flame Mountain a shallow golden hue.
Xia Heng and the Furious Wave Crocodile dragged long shadows, returning to their comrades: "Looks like I didn’t waste time."
Today, he and the Furious Wave Crocodile encountered many powerful Fire-type Pet Beasts, engaging in several fierce battles, unknowingly extending into the evening.
He worried he might miss his battle with Advisor Chen, but fortunately, Advisor Chen hadn’t left yet.
Thoughts flashed, Xia Heng turned to look at the Furious Wave Crocodile, smiling warmly: "Our real fight is just beginning."
"Roar!"
The Furious Wave Crocodile roared with confidence for the upcoming battle.
After today’s warm-up, it felt it could just barely contest with the Flame Cloud Falcon, victory seemed unlikely, but it wouldn’t be defeated too badly.
Mulate silently observed the interaction between the person and pet, opening his mouth but not speaking, sighing quietly.
"Chen Yuan, why hasn’t Spark come back yet?" Liu Jingyi’s eyes were fixed on the mountain peak of Flame Mountain under the dim night sky, showing a hint of concern.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, his face showing no worry: "Soon, soon."
Advancing from elite to commander still requires several hours, advancing from commander to Morning Star certainly takes even longer, even lasting one or two days wouldn’t be surprising.
More importantly, a few minutes ago, he suddenly realized his physical condition was inexplicably improving, lightly clenching his fist, he could feel the strong power contained within him.
Evidently, this was feedback from Spark’s successful advancement.
"So, you should appear soon, right?" Chen Yuan lifted his gaze to the sky, whispering.
The next moment,
"Chirp!"
The clear and long call seemed to traverse thousands of miles in an instant, precisely and clearly reaching everyone’s ears.
The sound carried an overwhelming fear, making everyone’s Pet Beasts tremble involuntarily.
Everyone looked up simultaneously.
Chen Yuan pressed down the bouncing Cola, laughter echoing: "Wonderful, you guys are becoming more and more powerful."
As the words fell, a figure two to three times larger than before Spark’s advancement burst out of the continuous mountain fire, soaring freely in the sky!
Alongside its elegant flying posture, its long tail feathers dragged a brilliant seven-colored light trail, lingering in the night sky long enough to dissolve into stardust.
For a moment, everyone was mesmerized.
