"Mother, look at her! If the House Bair has any thought for me, they would not release Luria Bair, even if they like her, they can treat her after this Beast Fighting Contest. It is my first time to fight in front of these great families since having phoenix bone!" She shouted angrily.

The empress stared at Thena with an twisted face.

"Take it easy sweetie! For the House Bair and the royal house, there will be only one object to cultivate, that is you!" When the queen talked, she thought for a while, calmed down.

Any obstacle in the way, she would have cleared for her daughter.

"Don't hurry!" As the queen comforted her, she patted her shoulders.

"Look at the sky!" The queen pointed to the sky, as she said.

Startled by a huge flaming phoenix flying out from the depth of the palace, Sophie finally shutted her mouth.

The blood-red flame made Thena feel a palpitation. Goosebumps rose on her body.

Listening to the loud sound of the phoenix, everyone looked up to wonder what was going on. Nothing could be seen, but stung by the bright flame.

"The Phoenix is coming out!"

It was a child phoenix, but its mighty force attrracted all the powerful people's attention.

Spiritual animal was just like human, their talent was also graded. Apparently phoenix was in top, if it was cultivated well, it would be as strong as a god body.

Changable suddenly widened his eyes from sleepy, his sight was not blocked by flames, directly saw the scene inside.

But next moment, Changable straightened up, a murderous surge in his eyes.

"What's the problem, Changable?" As Thena questioned, she was about to appease it, then many noises around rang.

'What's that?

"Bead?"

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

......

The crowd was talking about the beads.

Many bloodstained beads was falling, and a rich vitality and Lynn energy emanated from the beads.

Thena also got one, suddenly her face distorted in fury and pain when she saw what it made from.

It was phoenix blood!

So much blood... looking at people were excited to grab those beads, Thena felt cold all over.

"You have come a long way, and the phoenix blood dew is a present from our Land of Beasts."

The empress stood in the mid-sky with smile on her face, as she told.

" I declare the Beast Fighting Contest begins now!" As she continued, looked down to them in a decent deportment.

There was wild applause. Even those big guns smiled a little.

Phoenix blood was a rare thing to drink or medicate after all.

Flew a circle back to the palace, just arrived, Hot fell out of the air.

There was a bloody hole in her stomach, her body curled up in a corner in pain, and around her ankle was tied a silver chain that at first glance looked like an anklet, but was in fact deeply driven into her flesh, and her bones. Whenever the owner of the chain wanted, she could make her suffer.

"Get up quickly, no delay for the first fight. If you lose, I will punish you!" Shouted Sophie, stood by her side and watched with a cold eye.

The blood hole in her stomach was slowly healing.

Hot had been so mad hearing that, but now she was quiet.

She just now felt... felt real master's breath! The master came to rescue her!

Watching Hot self-healing, Sophie was reminded of Thena.

She bit her lips heavily, more unpleasant look appeared on her face.

"Absolutely the same kind monster!" Sophie cursed, and lifted her feet, wanted to kick Hot, but was paused as she suddenly thought she needed her for battle later.

Hot shrinked in the corner, in a little breathing.

She had to heal quickly before she could kill these assholes, and protect her master! she couldn't expose her master now. These men are so powerful, that they would kill her master.

Thena's fingers were trembling slightly in anger.

"Phoenix blood is a good thing. The empress barely does a great deal, Luria, take this one to feed your spiritual animal, try to do a good job this time." The old leader handed her a bead as he said.

Thena silently took it, did not raise her head. She was afraid the hatred in her eyes would be revealed if she did so.

"It will draw lots for opponent in the first round today, and then choose by ourselves in second tomorrow, right?"

With an icy look,Thena looked at Sophie's room.

It drew lots to pick opponent in the first round today, and would pick by themselves in the second tomorrow. Thena hoped that she could get Sophie through drawing lots, or she would have to wait to bleed Sophie as much as Hot's until tomorrow.

She was trying to restrain her fury until was hit gently on the back.

"Hey, Little girl, how did you get those spiritual beasts to like you?" Thena turned around and found a excited face befor her.

"Who are you?" Asked Thena, frowned.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Sean Zoester, from the House Zoester." Said Sean, and gave a bow to her like a gentleman, but then turned over the barrier and sat beside her.

The others from the House Bair was shocked.
