The experience of challenging on the field and watching the battle is entirely different. The tiger, seeming to rapidly expand in view, charged towards her in just 2-3 seconds, leaving Hexia with no time to command before the fight began.
Fortunately, the understanding between a person and a snake had been well established. A dazzling flash erupted in the arena, temporarily blinding the Phantom Crystal Beast, or whatever was manipulating it from behind.
"Now," shouted Hexia amidst the white light, "Scorching Ray!"
An orange-red thin beam of light streaked across the battlefield, aiming for the distant rear, and when the shining light gradually faded, the audience saw the Phantom Crystal Tiger lying on the ground, its body split in two by the scorching ray, shattered into chunks scattered on the ground.
This should be enough, the girl thought.
"Congratulations to Student Hexia for passing the first minor challenge."
