Surely, a single attack from a spiritual tiger could burn down a small building.
Fortunately, Sun Xinxin could see that the Flame Tiger she summoned didn't truly harbor hostility toward her.
On the contrary, she knew the spiritual Flame Tiger before her was entirely loyal to her.
With just that, it was impossible for Sun Xinxin's summoned Flame Tiger to harm its master.
"Give me your hand."
Lift—
For a moment, one of the Flame Tiger's paws reached toward Sun Xinxin's open palm.
Truly, it must be admitted that Sun Xinxin was incredibly lucky to obtain such a high-quality spiritual beast.
Even Sun Xinxin's classmates couldn't help but feel jealous seeing her achievement.
As her classmates, they knew that Sun Xinxin was one of the most gifted of her generation.
Perhaps because of this, it wasn't surprising that someone like Sun Xinxin could summon a top-tier spiritual beast.
Suddenly, Sun Xinxin saw the spiritual beast in front of her trying to act like a kitten.
"Meow—!"
Meow...? Ah... I get it.
For a moment, without hesitation, Sun Xinxin began to gently stroke the Flame Tiger's head.
She understood the intent behind the spiritual beast's behavior in front of her.
From the beginning, the Flame Tiger had longed for its master to pet it.
Still, Sun Xinxin's classmates couldn't understand—how could a high-quality spiritual beast be treated like a cat?
But one thing was certain: they believed the spiritual beast summoned by Sun Xinxin adored her deeply.
So strange...
But it didn't matter. They knew that Sun Xinxin was the most talented first-year student in their class.
Regardless of anything, the fact that Sun Xinxin ranked first in the Jinshi School entrance exam was undeniable.
"Congratulations, Miss Sun! We're happy to see you summon such a high-quality spiritual beast!" praised her classmates, who hadn't forgotten their original purpose.
From the beginning, some of her classmates had greatly admired Sun Xinxin.
If they were too late, would they even have a chance to catch Sun Xinxin's attention?
From their perspective, they knew Sun Xinxin was a future powerhouse in the making.
Speaking of which, the classroom where Sun Xinxin studied was specifically reserved for gifted students.
If you're wondering where Wang Ying was, the answer was obvious.
They weren't in the same class—people feared they might end up fighting during lessons.
At first, the school wanted to place Wang Ying and Sun Xinxin in the same class.
But they changed their minds, considering the conflict between the two girls.
If they had been reckless, could they even explain such issues to the girls' families?
Unexpectedly, inside Wang Ying's classroom, she revealed her spiritual summoning—a small bird.
She wasn't sure why, but Wang Ying thought the little bird she had summoned was completely useless.
However, judging from the small bird's posture in front of her, she knew it wasn't that bad.
After all, the fact remained: Wang Ying knew she was terrible at spiritual summoning.
Maybe because of that, Wang Ying believed it was normal for her not to be able to summon a high-grade spiritual beast.
If she could, wouldn't it be strange to call her untalented in summoning?
Surely, wouldn't the school be forced to reevaluate Wang Ying's potential?
Still, her teacher knew it was impossible for Wang Ying's spiritual beast to be useless.
On the contrary, the teacher considered Wang Ying's summoned beast to be of mid-tier quality.
"Not bad. This is good enough for you. We know you're not great at spiritual summoning, but you're strong. So please don't think you're inferior to your classmates."
"I understand, teacher. Don't worry—I know my limits."
For a moment, applause could be heard from Wang Ying's classmates.
From their perspective, they couldn't just ignore Wang Ying's achievement.
If they recalled correctly, they knew Wang Ying had worked hard ever since their first summoning attempt.
And now, they saw the results of her hard work.
If not for that, how else would Wang Ying be covered in sweat from head to toe?
Even with just that, others could tell how hard Wang Ying had pushed herself.
"Chirp—!"
Looking at the small bird Wang Ying had summoned, she thought it might only be one month old.
Still, deep down, Wang Ying was disappointed she couldn't summon a high-quality spiritual beast.
Fortunately, Wang Ying had no intention of discarding the spiritual beast before her.
Instead, she genuinely wanted to try raising the creature.
In the end, the fact remained: the little bird in front of her was a spiritual beast she had summoned.
Without hesitation, Wang Ying gently touched the bird's head.
For some reason, Wang Ying thought she could feel a faint heat radiating from the bird's body.
If she recalled correctly, it should be impossible for a one-month-old bird to emit fire-based pressure.
'Forget it… This is my responsibility. I must take care of this little bird, whether it's useful or not.'
Time passed, and now I could see the sky above had turned to dusk.
Looking at the situation, I could see several students embracing their spiritual beasts.
Truly, I had to admit, I knew they were overjoyed with their spiritual companions.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of summoning my own spiritual beast again.
When school hours ended, I was supposed to leave the classroom.
But who would've thought? Teacher Feng Xue said I wasn't required to summon my spiritual beast.
If I dared to try, would she even know whether I could escape from being chased by others?
"So troublesome... What's the point of using my power to summon a spiritual beast? If I had known this, I would've preferred not to use my strength," I muttered, thinking I truly wasn't required to summon my spiritual companion.
If I had known I was prohibited from summoning it, wouldn't I have chosen to refuse the summoning?
But so what? The fact that I had summoned it was undeniable.
Let it be...
After all, sooner or later, I would have to summon it again anyway.
Unexpectedly, I turned slightly to one of the girls near the school gate.
For some reason, I knew the spiritual beast floating above her head was of mystical quality.
Wang Ying?
Is that her? And also... what is that spiritual beast above her head?
Wait... could it be... a baby phoenix?
'That really is a phoenix... one of the divine beings of the Void Realm,' I thought, recalling the image of an adult phoenix from my first life.
If I had to say it, I knew the power of a full-grown phoenix was absolute destruction.
But why? Why could Wang Ying summon a spiritual beast from the Void Realm?
So strange...
For a moment, I sensed some sinister intent from the surrounding area.
Forget it...
"Wang Ying, right? No—I mean, may I call you Miss Wang?" I asked, trying to strike up a conversation with her.
Luckily, Wang Ying didn't seem too bothered by my approach.
