Feng Hei Lang sighed. "I didn't even touch you before the race started, but whatever. I, Feng Hei Lang, first-year, Bronze-Rank Disciple, accept Tian Si's challenge!"
Instantly a crowd started forming around them. Feng Hei Lang felt a small smile form on her snout. 'This is a GREAT chance to complete my quest!'
Tian Si started by leaping towards her, fangs bared. Feng Hei Lang dodged it and used [Claw] on his back. Immediately, a beep could be heard from her system.
[Claw Level Up!]
Feng Hei Lang watched as he raised his paws to the floor. Immediately, spikes rose up from the ground, almost hitting her. She instinctively use [Shadow Manipulation] to make a shield. 'Tch! His ability is something relating to earth!'
She waved her paw and made a platform for her to stand on. Tian Si grinned. "Oh, running away already?"
Feng Hei Lang laughed. "You wish." She whispered to Xing, "Xing, I want to test something. Can you activate your abilities from within my shadow?"
His bubbly voice filled her mind. 'Yes, Mommy! I can activate!'
Feng Hei Lang continued dodging Tian Si's spikes. "Then, activate [Starfall]!" The cafeteria became pitch black and screams echoed in the crowd.
Silver streaks on light started falling from the roof. They were all aimed towards Tian Si. He instantly conjured a barrier of earth to block it, but it burned right through it. He yowled in pain as it started burning him.
Feng Hei Lang grinned. 'Yes! This is the right moment to complete my quest!' She leapt towards Tian Si and used [Chomp]. The sound of flesh tearing could be heard as she quickly swallowed his skin the midst of battle. Then, Feng Hei Lang licked his blood off of her lips.
Beep!
[Blood Consumed! EXP Gained!]
Beep!
[Quest Complete!]
[Rewards: +15 Stat Points, +8 Skill Credits, +5 Comprehension Coins, +1 Random Artifact]
Beep!
[Level Up! Level 2 Unlocked! +10 Stat Points, +5 Skill Credits!]
Feng Hei Lang instantly felt strength flow through her. She felt instantly refreshed. 'Ah! I finally finished this quest! Free Skill Points!' She picked up the medallion that Tian Si dropped on the ground. "This is mine now! Thank you for the free tallies!"
Tian Si reached up a paw while trembling under the pain of [Starfall]. "N-no...Th-That's mine-"
She sighed and clocked him on the head, making him unconscious. "Nope! They're mine!"
The crowd of foxes parted into two sides, giving room for Feng Hei Lang to head out. She walked towards Kang Lei who was waiting for her. He waved when he saw her. "Hey! Nice match! I never thought that someone would be stupid enough to challenge you, after seeing. you fight Instructor Le Yi!"
Feng Hei Lang laughed. "Hah...I don't even know any proper fighting techniques. And I'm a Bronze Rank Disciple...I would be surprised if no one challenged me!"
She really wanted to check her stats and stuff, but it wouldn't be good if the foxes just saw her clicking and tapping in mid-air. Feng Hei Lang yawned and said, "Kang Lei, I'm tired. I'm going. to head back to the dorms first."
He nodded. "Sure! Then, see you tomorrow! And don't be late for class!"
Feng Hei Lang nodded. "You got it!" She ran back to the west tower and rang the little bell on top of the attendant's desk.
He looked up and said, "Yes?"
She held up the two medallions. "I would like you to combine the tallies in the silver medallion to my bronze one."
The attendant nodded and scanned both of them. In a second, the silver medallion vanished. "You're good to go."
Feng Hei Lang smiled. "Thanks!" She immediately ran back into her room. Once she was nice and comfy, Feng Hei Lang pulled up her stats screen.

Feng Hei Lang thought for a moment. 'Hmmm...Where should I spent my Stat Points? Should I round up my agility and strength? I think I need more stamina though...'
She quickly brought both her strength and agility. Then, she spent the rest of her points on stamina.

Feng Hei Lang stared at the screen for a moment. 'Ugh...If only I had one more Stat Point! The 19 makes me feel annoyed!'
She sighed and brought up the Skill Credit store. Feng Hei Lang tilted her head in thought. 'I have 30 Skill Credits...the skill that Xing used was amazing. It has a wide area of effect and even makes it dark...That's the perfect environment to use my ability in! I wonder if I can get [Starfall] too...'
Feng Hei Lang giggled. 'That would be amazing! Double Starfall!' She brought out Xing from her shadow, to see that he was asleep. She placed him gently onto the floor and patted his head.
Then, she scrolled through the Skill Credit store till she found [Starfall]. Feng Hei Lang almost lost it when she saw the price. 'FIFTY SKILL CREDITS FOR A SINGLE SKILL? THAT'S INSANE!'
She sighed and closed the window. 'Guess I'll have to save up for now... And Comprehension Coins are useful. It seems that they help me comprehend some techniques and other things that I haven't learned yet!'
Feng Hei Lang curled up into a ball next to Xing. "Goodnight, Xing..."
