“Um… Boss Xu.”

Leaving the betting point, Xu Kun still had a helpless expression on his face, “I’m glad you have such high expectations for Chasing Wind, but you really didn’t have to wager so much…”

A total of one million!

Xu Kun could still recall the astonishment on the face of the staff member when he heard the betting amount.

They weren’t strangers to such large sums of money, but it was the first time they’d seen someone betting so much on the championship all at once.

Even the odds for Chasing Wind dropped from 1:2.6 to 1:2.5 due to this bet.

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Xu Ran went to a barbecue stand, bought a bunch of skewers, and calmly spoke while he and Ziyun enjoyed them.

This one million was the reward he received for winning the New Beast Master Challenge Match.

He didn’t touch a penny of the money he earned through the system operation. Xu Ran’s bet may seem impulsive, but it’s not entirely so.

Betting one million all at once was partly because he believed in Chasing Wind, but more importantly, it was because of his confidence in his Washing and Protection abilities.

“Alright then.” Seeing Xu Ran so calm, Xu Kun didn’t say anything more.

He was quite pleased to be trusted by Xu Ran to this extent.

At the base, upon hearing the full story, Chasing Wind, too, gave a few satisfied snorts, promising to give it his all in the competition later.

As the two men and their pet were eating and drinking nearby, the race was getting closer and closer to starting.

“Ding dong     ”

With a crisp sound broadcasted throughout all the nearby areas, Xu Kun’s expression became more serious, “The race is starting in five minutes, this is the alert bell for all the contestants to get ready.”

“Boss Xu, follow me!”

“Alright.” Xu Ran nodded and quickly followed Xu Kun towards the starting point with its fluttering flags.

At this moment, the starting point was crowded with spectators. Amidst the loud cheers, the horse-type pet beasts participating in the race made their appearance.

Some of them were considerably larger than normal horses, some were about the same size as normal horses, and there was even one that was smaller than a typical horse, standing in the herd like a child among adults.

Aside from differences in size, these horses varied in appearance as well. Some had manes like burning flames, some had wings on their backs, some had a single or double horn growing from their heads, and some were covered in scales.

The various types of horse-type pet beasts made their appearances one after another, leaving Xu Ran feeling amazed.

“Come forth! Chasing Wind!” Xu Kun shouted in a rather dramatic fashion. At the same time, a magnificent Wind God’s Colt stepped out from the gusts of wind as the Hexagram Star Array flashed, causing the cheers around to reach their peak.

“Come forth! Angry Thunder!” Not long after Chasing Wind made his appearance, another horse-type pet beast, enveloped in purple light and crowned with an Electric Arc on its single horn, was summoned amidst a Beast Master’s shout.

This was the horse with the second lowest odds for winning the championship. Its appearance once again incited a climactic round of cheers from the crowd.

“Come forth! Amazing!” The Beast Master of the most favored horse beast in the competition didn’t want to be left behind. After copying the previous two shouts, he summoned Amazing, the horse beast with the lowest odds in the competition.

It was a horse that looked as magnificent as one cast in gold, each of its short hairs gleaming under the sunlight. It was slightly smaller than Chasing Wind but was also over three meters tall. The visible robustness of its body caused gasps of admiration from the crowd.

“Such a handsome horse, no wonder the odds are so low.” Xu Ran couldn’t help but murmur.

“Yes, this is Chasing Wind’s biggest competitor in this competition.” Upon seeing Amazing, Xu Kun’s expression also became a bit more serious, “This is a Light Attribute horse-type pet beast. It possesses the skill Path of Light.”

“Is this skill powerful?” Xu Ran had never heard of this skill and asked without thinking.

“It’s very powerful.” Xu Kun nodded, “It’s a speed type skill. It’s said that when it’s highly proficient, it can make the user’s speed approach that of light.”

“Amazing isn’t at that level yet, but it’s still very hard to compete with in terms of speed.”

“I see.” Xu Ran’s expression also became serious.

In terms of appeal, Amazing wasn’t much different from Chasing Wind after its washing and protective treatment.

“Chasing Wind, you must do your best!” He gently patted Chasing Wind’s shoulder.

“Xi Lu Lu~” Chasing Wind neighed confidently in response.

“The race is about to start, unrelated personnel please step back!” The referee shouted through the loudspeaker, and personnel were immediately coordinated for clearance.

Even the Beast Masters who had summoned their horses had to temporarily leave. They were about to sit on their flying pet beasts and command their pets from a distance.

“Boss Xu, come with me!” Xu Kun pulled Xu Ran over towards an open area nearby.

Suddenly, there were as many as a hundred griffins there – creatures that had eagle’s heads, white throats, brownish-black bodies, the stature of a lion with four eagle’s claws, and wings on their backs.

Each griffin had four fixed seats on their broad backs.

“These are Wind Pet Beasts, Tearing Wind Hawk Lion.” Xu Kun introduced, “They may look fearsome and intimidating, but they’re actually very gentle. After being trained, they can follow human commands even without a contract.”

“That’s our ‘Fly Ticket’.” Xu Kun laughed cheerfully, “Each contestant can bring three family members to sit on it. There are thirty-one horses participating in this horse race, so we have thirty-one of these Tearing Wind Hawk Lions.”

“The remaining sixty-nine are VIP seats that are open for sale..”
