“That’s it? I’ve made it past this round?”
After his surroundings changed, Ye Xuan found himself standing back at the space he had been training in before.
Lost in thought, he took the blade of Transformed Grass over from Tyrannosaurus.
He looked at it, then his face filled with glee.
He had not managed to make the Thundercloud Lightning Wings his beast.
However, he had this blade of Transformed Grass in his hand. It was an evolutionary resource that could let the Thundercloud Lightning Wings advance in rank and stars, which was more than enough for him.
The only thing left now was a Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl.
But this was something that Lin Shiru had already said she could think of to help him obtain.
“When I leave this place, I have to find a way to bond with that beast!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes twinkled.
Once the Thundercloud Lightning Wings advanced in stars and level, it would become a five-star Bronze beast.
One could only imagine how much this would benefit Ye Xuan.
“Please choose your reward for the third round.”
At this time, the same voice rang out in Ye Xuan’s head again.
Ye Xuan blanched when he heard it.
A bout of worry stirred in his chest abruptly.
He feared that there would be no end to this.
That he would have to keep clearing round after round.
If this continued, he would only tire himself out and waste away like a cow on fertile land, no matter how powerful he was.
But it was as if this voice could read his thoughts.
As soon as it spoke, it immediately continued, “Given your realm, this third round is the final one you can clear.
“After you clear this round, you will become a Trial Taker and earn the Trial Taker’s token.
“Trial Takers who have the token in hand can enter this space again before they break through to the next realm, to continue the trial at the Bronze level.
“When the Trial Taker successfully makes it past all the rounds, they stand to earn the final reward—the Illuminating Spirit Monkey, a five-star Challenger-level Beast!”
“I see!”
Ye Xuan was hit with an epiphany after the voice rang in his head.
The more he thought about it, the more the happiness swam in his chest.
The way he saw it, challenging these rounds was undeniably dangerous.
Despite that, it held great meaning for him.
Just like this time, where he had cleared two rounds in succession.
And it had earned him two significant evolutionary resources.
The other thing was that he finally found the way to leave this Secret Realm after listening to this voice.
And it set his heart at ease.
He was no longer on tenterhooks like he was before.
...
“What’s wrong? Is Ye Xuan not out yet?”
Outside the wormhole, Lin Shiru was stomping. Compared to the day before, the look on her face was much worse.
The apprentice-level district, in general, did not require much time to clear.
Given Ye Xuan’s strength, an ominous feeling swelled in her chest when he had not emerged in such a long time.
“Not yet.”
Questioned by Lin Shiru, Gu Qinghe had a similarly bad look on his face. “I’ve already sent people into the prohibited thunder zone, and I’ve even assigned some of them to search the area Ye Xuan disappeared from.
“But that area’s already been sealed off.
“There’s not a single other person there who can enter the Secret Realm as Ye Xuan can.”
“I got it!”
Lin Shiru inhaled deeply.
But she could not think of any solution.
All she could do was continue waiting here.
Ring...
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and took a look at the caller and then accepted the call.
Instantly, Nong Jiale’s voice rang out from the phone. “Miss Lin, this is Nong Jiale. I wanted to ask if Ye Xuan’s there.
“His parents have been to our Beast Taming classes a few times these past few days to ask about him.”
Lin Shiru took another deep breath when she heard the question and then said, “Tell Ye Xuan’s parents that he’s currently in a Secret Realm right now, and he can’t come out.
“I’ll bring him back to Jiangzhou as soon as possible once he’s out.”
“I understand. I’ll relay the message!” Nong Jiale responded respectfully.
He hesitated for a while and then said again, “Another thing, Miss Lin. Due to the college entrance examinations being brought forward, the exchange between Beast Tamer classes in Yunhai City and Yunzhong City will be brought forward.
“The students from the Beast Tamer class in Yunzhong City will come over tomorrow, so Miss Wu Fuyun wanted me to ask whether you know Ye Xuan will be able to attend the class tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? Can’t you ask me about this again tomorrow?” Lin Shiru immediately hung up when she heard him.
“What’s the matter? She’s such a gentle person.”
In the Beast Tamer class in Yunhai City, Nong Jiale rubbed his bald head, confusion written all over his face.
...
On Ancient God Planet.
In the Ancient God Plains.
Somebody with a pale visage stood on their beast, the Two-Headed Bat, and escaped savagely from a valley.
This person was none other than the Eternal Night Clan’s Ye Qiushan, whom Ye Xuan had previously lied to.
After Ye Qiushan escaped from the Valley of the Blue Snake, he risked a glance behind him.
He noticed that the people from the Silver Blood Clan, as well as those of the Welkin Crystal Race, had not yet chased after him, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“You, from Cerulean Planet!”
The moment barely lasted. A sliver of malice quickly replaced the relief that was on his face.
This time, the person from Cerulean Planet had truly played him for a fool.
There had been five or six other people from his clan standing beside him, but now he was the only one left.
The rest of the people had all died in the valley.
“Back then, when we of the Eternal Night Clan allied with Cerulean Planet, we helped you lot out a great deal. To think you lot would look at us today without so much as an ounce of gratitude!”
Roar!
Just as Ye Qiushan was lost in his thought, a cacophonous roar suddenly rang out from a distance.
His heart seized when he heard this roar.
He turned around and instantly saw a white crane, about ten meters or so tall, standing in the distance. The crane brought along with it other tiny beasts, and they were all fighting an enormous, terrifying tiger.
“Damn it!”
“Another one from Cerulean Planet? Huh, that one looks like a Challenger-level Beast Tamer.”
Ye Qiushan blanched.
He did not expect his luck to be this bad.
His cultivation was at the Dark Iron level and had run into a Challenger-level Beast Tamer on the Ancient God Plains.”
He hurriedly spurred the Two-Headed Bat into action, flying away quickly.
But just as he ramped up the speed, he realized with a start that, without him noticing, the space around him had changed all of a sudden.
“Huh?”
A few seconds after he steered the Two-Headed Bat, he realized he had suddenly come right to the very front of a black palace.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of people from various clans in the palace who were storming the individual halls.
They were all fighting for the treasures in this palace.
“Qiuyun?”
As he watched the group, Ye Qiushan suddenly noticed a very familiar face in the group.
When he caught sight of her, his face immediately lit up with joy.
He immediately steered the Two-Headed Bat and flew to where the group was.
“Qiushan? How did you end up like this?”
Seeing Ye Qiushan in bad shape, the lady from the Eternal Night Clan looked a little surprised.
“Qiuyun,” Ye Qiushan said with a savage look on his face, “I met a Beast Tamer from Cerulean Planet, and he’s the reason why I look like this now.”
Immediately, he quickly explained what had happened in the valley earlier to the lady.
“A Beast Tamer from Cerulean Planet?”
The lady’s face fell as well when she heard this.
She then turned her head and let her gaze fall on the dozen or so people who were hundreds of meters away.
These dozen or so people were, as it turned out, all Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers.
And they were all women.
“Let’s go. You want revenge, no?”
The lady huffed coldly. “As it turns out, these Cerulean Planet people are getting in the way!”
“They’re from Cerulean Planet?”
Ye Qiushan was stunned.
He turned his head and looked and instantly saw that there were about a dozen women Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers in the palace who were gathered.
They commanded their own beasts and surrounded one of the miniature lakes by the palace.
Suspended in the space above that lake was a peal that radiated brilliant silver and gold.
Every time it gave off that light, the light would fall into the lake below.
And the crimson carps in the lake would fight for it.
At the same time, opposite the Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers group stood about a dozen other people.
These dozen or so people were all Silver Horn Beast Tamers who had a lone silver horn growing on their heads.
Obviously, these Silver Horn Beast Tamers were like the Beast Tamers from Cerulean Planet—they all had their eyes fixed on the mysterious pearl.
They were currently locking horns over it.
At the same time, Ye Qiushan also noticed something else.
Surrounding these two factions were Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers, who were currently scattered about.
Their gazes were all, discreetly, on those Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers, as well as the Silver Horn Beast Tamers.
Obviously.
Before he even reached this place, his older sister Ye Qiuyun already had plans to strike against the Cerulean Planet and Silver Horn Beast Tamers.
Things would not have been different even if he had not come.
“Demon Centipede King!”
The savagery bled into his face, and he immediately summoned forth his most powerful beast from his Beast Ring.
An enormous, black centipede about seven or eight meters tall appeared right in front of him in an instant.
Its thousand feet moved in unison, and it slithered along the palace and into the hidden corner where the group was, approaching the dozen Cerulean Planet women Beast Tamers.
Those dozen Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers were all adolescents.
One look and it was obvious they were students from the same school.
He thought about how these dozen teenage Cerulean Planet girls were about to break in his own hands, and an indescribable joy immediately surged within him.
...
“The reward for the third round?”
Simultaneously, in the Secret Realm, Ye Xuan once again looked at the screen in front of him, and then he made his choice.
Except this time, he did not choose the item that would allow Thundercloud Lightning Wings to increase in stars—the final Platinum evolutionary resource, the Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl.
The Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl could wait until he left this place.
With the amount of work he sank in this time, Lin Shiru would help him get the pearl.
This was why the item he picked this time was another Platinum treasure called the Phantom Orb of Sol.
“A treasure like this will probably be useless for the Tidal Treasure Snail, right?”
Ye Xuan’s heart fluttered.
Up until now, he was still hung up over the beast the Elder of Arrays mentioned.
According to the Elder of Arrays, he would need a high-level treasure to find the Tidal Treasure Snail.
He reached a hand out.
With his index finger, he tapped on the monitor in front of him
