《Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning》 Chapter 1 - A Divine Beginning – The Young Master of the Bai Family Chapter 1 A Divine Beginning ¨C The Young Master of the Bai FamilyIn a medium-sized secret world, called the Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret World, lies one of the seven large central city bases, known as the central Bai Lin City. In the heart of this city, there was a luxurious and exquisitely designed villa. Behind the villa stood a small hill, with a clear lake at its base. The morning sunlight reflected off the lake¡¯s surface, creating shimmering waves, and it seemed like several spirit fish were swimming within. However, apart from this villa, there were no other buildings surrounding the hill and lake. This was because the hill and lake were part of the villa¡¯s backyard. It was an unbelievable sight. In the entire Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret World, there were only seven large central city bases, which were the foundation of the human race in this world. Bai Lin City, being one of these bases, was an area where every inch of land was extremely valuable. Yet, in the core area of Bai Lin City, such a residence existed, something unimaginable to outsiders. It¡¯s safe to say that whoever owns such a residence must belong to a family of immense wealth and power. Indeed, this villa was none other than the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Bai Lin City. Meanwhile, in a room on the second floor of the villa, a young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old was washing up. As he looked up, the mirror reflected a handsome young face with fair skin, akin to that of a noble young lord. ¡°Even after seeing it for fifteen years, I have to admit, my appearance in this life seems excessively handsome,¡± Bai Zian thought to himself with a hint of helplessness in his tone. Yes, he was not a native of this world but a transmigrator. In his previous life, he was a soldier who sacrificed himself during a mission. Unexpectedly, he ended up transmigrating to a world of beast taming. That¡¯s right, Bai Zian¡¯s current world was one of beast tamers, filled with all sorts of magical spirit beasts and countless beast tamers. However, his situation seemed more like a reincarnation rather than a soul possession, as he was born from a womb and grew up naturally. Bai Zian has no significant difference from the original inhabitants of this world, except that he retained the memories of his past life. Could it be that he forgot to drink Meng Po¡¯s soup* on the path of reincarnation? Ahem, whether or not he encountered Meng Po, he was unsure. However, because of his past life as a soldier, Bai Zian found it somewhat uncomfortable to be reborn with such a top-tier appearance. Splash~ A sound of flowing water came from afar. Simultaneously, a long, silver ribbon-like figure floated in the air, coming before Bai Zian. It was a spirit fish with a slender body, about three meters long. Its red eyes emitted a faint golden light, and silver stripes adorned its body, giving it an extraordinary appearance. Moreover, there was a stream of water beneath the spirit fish, allowing it to float in the air as if it were swimming in water. ¡°Yin~ Yin~~¡± ¡°I know, Red-Eyed Silver-Stripped Fish. Please inform my father that I will come down after I finish washing up,¡± Bai Zian replied with a faint smile. Although the spirit fish¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t human, Bai Zian seemed to understand it perfectly and spoke to it accordingly. This mystical spirit fish was none other than his father¡¯s life-bound spirit pet, the Red-Eyed Silver-Stripped Fish.

Although not particularly large, the Red-Eyed Silver-Stripped Fish was a golden-level pet beast and was considered a formidable being. After finishing his morning routine, Bai Zian headed to the dining room on the first floor. The servants had already prepared breakfast, which was arranged on the dining table, exuding a mouthwatering aroma. Seated around the table were a middle-aged couple and a girl about ten years old, all enjoying breakfast together harmoniously. They were Bai Zian¡¯s parents and younger sister. At the same time, Bai Zian noticed an imposing old man seated at the head of the table. The old man had a head of white hair but looked as though he was in his fifties or sixties. Of course, this was only his appearance. Those familiar with the old man knew that his actual age far exceeded this. The old man had presided over this city for fifty years, exuding an air of authority that made it clear he was someone accustomed to wielding great power. ¡°Grandpa, when did you arrive? Aren¡¯t you busy with work?¡± Bai Zian asked with a smile as he approached the dignified old man, his grandfather, Bai Jingchong. Bai Jingchong was the renowned City Lord of Bai Lin City, one of the seven strongest individuals in the Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret World, a diamond-level beast tamer who had protected Bai Lin City for fifty years. In the entire Bai Lin City, Bai Jingchong was the most powerful existence, standing on par with the other six city lords. Bai Zian¡¯s beginning in this life could be considered a heavenly start, born into an exceptionally powerful family. To be honest, as a transmigrator, Bai Zian not only had an astonishing background, belonging to a wealthy and powerful family, but he also had a harmonious family life. His parents were alive and well, and his grandfather was one of the strongest individuals in the world. Such a beginning was simply unimaginable. Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but wonder if he was the protagonist. Could such a powerful background and harmonious family really belong to a protagonist? Or perhaps, he wasn¡¯t the protagonist after all? Bai Zian always harbored this doubt. However, as the City Lord of Bai Lin City, Bai Jingchong was usually very busy and rarely returned to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Therefore, Bai Zian was a little surprised by his grandfather¡¯s presence. ¡°Today is the annual awakening ceremony, and as the city lord, I need to give a speech at the event to encourage the students.¡± ¡°Grandpa remembers that you, Xiao An, are a middle school graduate this year, so you¡¯ll need to participate in the awakening ceremony too.¡± ¡°Perfect timing, we can head to the awakening hall together later,¡± Bai Jingchong said with a smile, showing a rare expression of warmth on his usually stern face as he spoke to Bai Zian. The Awakening Ceremony, formally known as the [Annual Beast Taming Talent Awakening Ceremony of Jiuzhou Federation] was a national event held each year to help middle school graduates awaken their beast-taming talents. Those who successfully awaken their talents can apply to beast-taming high schools to learn various knowledge related to beast taming. If they fail, they will have to attend a regular high school instead. It was a crucial moment that could determines one¡¯s future. However, as a middle school graduate, Bai Zian remained calm because he had already awakened his beast-taming talent a month earlier. This was inevitable. Although it was difficult to awaken beast-taming talent on one¡¯s own, Bai Zian, as a descendant of Bai Jingchong, a diamond-level beast tamer, possessed the bloodline of a beast tamer, making it not particularly difficult for him to awaken. Thus, even before the awakening ceremony, Bai Zian had already awakened his talent. As for the talent he awakened, it was an impressive one: an A-rank talent known as [Intuition]. Chapter 2 - A-Rank Beast Master Talent: [Intuition] Chapter 2 A-Rank Beast Master Talent: [Intuition] S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.[Intuition]: An A-Rank mental talent that grants the bearer incredible battle instincts, sometimes providing special premonitions. It also allows for a basic understanding of a spirit beast¡¯s thoughts, facilitating simple communication. This talent was considered highly valuable for a beast tamer, offering a broad range of benefits. Not only does it provide heightened instincts for avoiding danger in combat, but it also aids in taming and understanding spirit beasts, making it a powerful tool in battle and for capturing new beasts. The significance of the [Intuition] talent that Bai Zian had awakened was evident¡ªit was one of the better beast taster talents available. Naturally, the Bai family was overjoyed by this development, especially Bai Jingchong, the patriarch of the family. Upon learning that Bai Zian had awakened his beast taster talent on his own, Bai Jingchong was particularly pleased. Self-awakening was no easy feat; if it were, the Federation wouldn¡¯t need to hold annual Awakening Ceremonies. This indicated Bai Zian¡¯s vast potential, marking him as a prodigy with the possibility of achieving great heights. The only minor disappointment for Bai Jingchong was that Bai Zian¡¯s awakened talent wasn¡¯t related to the elemental water affinity, which was closely tied to the Bai family¡¯s lineage. However, a mental talent like [Intuition], especially at A-Rank, was still outstanding, and Bai Jingchong was more than satisfied with it. Because of this, the Awakening Ceremony didn¡¯t hold much significance for Bai Zian. He was calm and collected, showing no concern about the event. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate the Awakening Ceremony. The Federation¡¯s Awakening Stone is an incredibly special and rare treasure¡ªthere¡¯s only one in the entire Jiuzhou Federation.¡± ¡°It has a unique history. At the dawn of the New Era, when ferocious beasts first descended upon our world, humanity faced an existential crisis and was nearly wiped out.¡± ¡°It was the discovery of this Awakening Stone that allowed the first generation of Beast Tamers to awaken their talents, ushering in the Age of Beast Tamers and ensuring humanity¡¯s survival and eventual dominance.¡± ¡°You could say that this stone is the cornerstone of our Jiuzhou Federation¡¯s Beast Tamer civilization.¡± ¡°Xiao An*, this is an excellent opportunity for you too.¡± ¡°During the ceremony, you can use the stone¡¯s awakening energy to construct your Beast Space. Once your Beast Space is fully formed, you can begin contracting spirit beasts.¡± Bai Jingchong had noticed Bai Zian¡¯s indifference and spoke to him earnestly. A novice aiming to become a Beast Tamer must undergo three stages: Awaken a Beast Master Talent. Construct a Beast Space. Form a contract with a spirit beast. Only after completing these three steps can one be considered a true Beast Tamer, ready to embark on the path of Beast Mastery. Frankly, if it weren¡¯t necessary, Bai Jingchong wouldn¡¯t insist on Bai Zian attending the Awakening Ceremony. The primary reason was the stone¡¯s awakening energy¡ªit¡¯s incredibly beneficial. It was a well-known fact that disciples from large families or special sects often awaken their talents early, but they still attend the annual ceremony to take advantage of the stone¡¯s power, thereby constructing their Beast Spaces ahead of schedule and saving time. The Jiuzhou Federation was well aware of this practice but didn¡¯t mind. As long as the talents were registered during the ceremony, the Federation would benefit from the centralized management of Beast Tamers. So, what does it matter if a little bit of awakening energy is wasted? ¡°I understand, Grandfather. I¡¯ll take the Awakening Ceremony seriously.¡± Bai Zian nodded seriously, taking his grandfather¡¯s advice to heart. He had been so focused on studying Beast Tamer¡¯s knowledge and awakening his talent that he hadn¡¯t paid much attention to the Awakening Stone. Upon hearing Bai Jingchong¡¯s reminder, he realized the ceremony was a significant opportunity and started taking it more seriously. ¡°That Awakening Stone truly is extraordinary. There¡¯s only one, yet it can support the awakening of millions of students across the Jiuzhou Federation each year.¡± ¡°This divine power is truly impressive.¡± Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the thought. Though he didn¡¯t fully understand the mysteries behind using the stone¡¯s energy to construct a Beast Space, he was well aware of the Awakening Ceremony¡¯s procedures. Reportedly, during the ceremony, the Jiuzhou Federation activates the stone, using spatial projection to channel its energy to various regions, including the secret worlds under its jurisdiction. This miraculous event allows millions of students to awaken simultaneously. ¡°No more daydreaming. Focus on the ceremony and construct your Beast Space¡ªthat¡¯s your top priority right now.¡± Bai Chengzhi, Bai Zian¡¯s father, looked up and sternly reminded him. Bai Zian nodded in agreement, putting the matter aside to enjoy breakfast. Shortly after, the family finished eating, and the driver from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion arrived at the villa, ready and waiting. Bai Zian bid farewell to his parents and set off for the Awakening Hall with his grandfather. Before long, they arrived at the Awakening Hall. The area around the Awakening Hall was already teeming with students. Principals from various schools had brought their students to the hall, and under the staff¡¯s guidance, they were preparing for the ceremony in an orderly manner. Of course, Bai Zian was no exception. Although he was the City Lord¡¯s grandson, he had to follow the same procedure as everyone else. The Jiuzhou Federation takes the Awakening Ceremony very seriously, allowing no room for error. Even as the City Lord¡¯s grandson, any attempt to disrupt the ceremony would lead to serious consequences. After parting ways with his grandfather, Bai Zian returned to his school¡¯s designated area, ready to join his classmates for the ceremony. ¡°Hello, Young Master Bai.¡± ¡°Long time no see, Young Master Bai.¡± ¡°Young Master Bai hasn¡¯t been to school for a month. You must be well-prepared by now.¡± As Bai Zian rejoined his class, he was immediately greeted with waves of greetings from his classmates. Chapter 3 - The Awakening Ceremony Begins, and a Sudden Change Chapter 3 The Awakening Ceremony Begins, and a Sudden ChangeThough Bai Zian didn¡¯t put on airs, his special status and striking appearance made him the most eye-catching person in any crowd. Moreover, the school he attended was the most prestigious in Bai Lin City, a gathering place for the children of high-ranking officials and influential families. These students, who were all quite shrewd, naturally saw Bai Zian as the leader among them, given his status as the grandson of Bai Jingchong, the city lord. As Bai Zian arrived, his classmates instinctively gravitated toward him, eagerly greeting him and forming a small circle around him. Bai Zian simply smiled and nodded in response. The reason Bai Zian hadn¡¯t been to school for the past month didn¡¯t need much explanation. Having independently awakened his beast-taming talent, he needed time to familiarize himself with it, so he chose not to attend school. ¡°Brother An, you¡¯re finally here! I¡¯ve missed you so much over the past month!¡± As Bai Zian exchanged greetings with his classmates, a chubby figure, like a rolling ball, pushed through the crowd and appeared in front of him with a face full of longing. ¡°Fatty Yuan, can you not speak to me in such a wistful tone? People who don¡¯t know might think there¡¯s something going on between us,¡± Bai Zian said helplessly. This was Bai Zian¡¯s number one follower, who, because of their parents¡¯ connections, had grown up alongside Bai Zian and shared a strong bond with him. His name, Yuan Potian, was as imposing as it was misleading¡ªBai Zian had once thought he was the protagonist of some novel. But as time went on and Fatty Yuan¡¯s physique became increasingly round and Bai Zian gave up on that notion. After all, how could a protagonist be as round as a basketball? Handsome protagonists like himself were a different story altogether. ¡°Bai Zian, you haven¡¯t been to school for a month. I thought you might be scared. If you admit defeat now, I might consider letting you off the hook and dropping our bet,¡± a cold female voice suddenly interrupted. A tall, striking girl with long red hair, surrounded by a group of students, approached Bai Zian with an arrogant expression. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Little Phoenix, the bet still stands. I¡¯m really looking forward to seeing you cry when you lose,¡± Bai Zian said with a calm smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he looked at Feng Qianyu. Daring to act so haughty in front of Bai Zian, Feng Qianyu was no ordinary person. As the granddaughter of Feng Yangyan, the deputy city lord of Bai Lin City, she was considered a top-tier figure among the privileged students. However, during their time in school, she was often overshadowed by Bai Zian, a fact she couldn¡¯t reconcile with. Thus, she seized the opportunity presented by the awakening ceremony to challenge Bai Zian, resulting in the bet they made. The bet was simple: they would compare who could awaken the better talent, with the loser having to fulfill a request from the winner. They weren¡¯t concerned about whether they would awaken a beast-taming talent¡ªit was almost a certainty given their families¡¯ statuses as powerful beast tamers. Bai Zian wasn¡¯t particularly worried either, having already awakened an A-level talent on his own. He was confident he had a 90% chance of winning the bet.

After all, S-level talents were rare even in the entire Jiuzhou Federation, and the odds of encountering one were slim, especially in their current location, which was just one of the many secret worlds under the Jiuzhou Federation¡¯s control. ¡°Damn you, Bai Zian! Don¡¯t call me little phoenix! And be ready to lose¡ªI¡¯m looking forward to seeing you grovel before me,¡± Feng Qianyu declared, her expression smug as if she was sure of her victory. She then turned and left with her group of followers. ¡°Brother An, be careful. I heard from my father that the Feng family recently obtained a special treasure that might help with awakening talents. That¡¯s why Feng Qianyu is so confident,¡± Yuan Fatty whispered, sharing some insider information. ¡°The Feng family has a mysterious background and deep resources. It¡¯s not surprising they have some special tricks up their sleeves. No worries,¡± Bai Zian replied with a serene smile, unbothered by the news. He had a feeling¡ªthanks to his [Intuition] talent¡ªthat Feng Qianyu wouldn¡¯t pose much of a threat. ¡°Students from various schools, welcome! I am Bai Jingchong, the city lord of Bai Lin City. The awakening ceremony marks the beginning of a new chapter in your lives¡­¡± At the same time, an elder with a youthful appearance, full of vigor, appeared on the high platform in the Awakening Hall. It was none other than Bai Jingchong, Bai Zian¡¯s grandfather, who was giving a speech to encourage the students. The atmosphere in the plaza grew even more lively as the students respectfully listened to the powerful figure who protected them. Bai Zian remained calm, having seen such scenes countless times. Soon after, Bai Jingchong finished his speech, and the awakening ceremony officially began. This day, the divine power of the Awakening Stone would envelop the entire Awakening Hall. Students would enter the hall in batches according to their exam numbers, and with the help of the Awakening Stone, they would awaken their beast-taming talents. It wasn¡¯t long before it was Bai Zian¡¯s school¡¯s turn. He and his classmates, led by the staff, entered the Awakening Hall¡ªa spacious chamber with a thousand seats, allowing a thousand students to awaken simultaneously. Above the hall floated a mysterious, seven-colored stone projection, exuding a pale cyan light that enveloped the entire hall. This was the spatial projection of the Awakening Stone, radiating its awakening energy. Without wasting time, Bai Zian found his seat, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the awakening energy to construct his beast space. However, at that moment, something unusual started happening to Bai Zian. Chapter 4 - Beast-Taming Talent Mutates, Unexpected Opportunity Chapter 4 Beast-Taming Talent Mutates, Unexpected Opportunity Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Boom. As Bai Zian began absorbing the awakening energy to construct his Beast-Taming space, the awakening energy surging into his body suddenly became turbulent. The astonishing energy roared through Bai Zian¡¯s limbs and bones like a wild, untamed horse. The awakening energy was out of control. Bai Zian was puzzled, not understanding why such an abnormality had occurred. Most concerning was that this uncontrolled awakening energy, after coursing through his limbs and bones, began rushing toward his brain. Seeing this, Bai Zian¡¯s expression changed dramatically. The brain is one of the most vital organs. If Bai Zian¡¯s brain were harmed by the awakening energy, he might become a fool. That would be truly dangerous. Bai Zian immediately decided to withdraw from the awakening state. Even if it meant interrupting the awakening ceremony, he could not allow the energy to remain uncontrolled. Constructing the Beast-Taming space was important, but it was far less important than his own safety. However, just then, a sudden intuition arose in Bai Zian¡¯s mind. [Perhaps, this isn¡¯t a bad thing, but rather a great opportunity.] This intuition came out of nowhere, without any reason, but it made Bai Zian calm down. Because this was a special premonition brought to him by his talent, [Intuition]. His intuition told him that this was a great opportunity, not a crisis. With this thought, Bai Zian calmed down and stopped resisting the awakening energy¡¯s intrusion into his brain, allowing the energy to remodel him freely. In an instant, unimaginable awakening energy surged madly into Bai Zian¡¯s brain. Meanwhile, under the influence of this energy, Bai Zian¡¯s awakened talent seemed to begin changing. ¡°My talent is undergoing a special transformation? It¡¯s a mutation¡ªmy Beast-Taming talent is mutating?¡± Bai Zian had a flash of insight, as if realizing something. In the world of Beast-Taming, there were times when certain spirit beasts undergo mutations, acquiring special abilities or constitutions. As a form of life, humans naturally also possess the potential for mutation. Because human abilities are linked to their Beast-Taming talents, a human mutation generally manifests as a mutation in their Beast-Taming talent. Bai Zian¡¯s current situation was precisely a mutation of his Beast-Taming talent. Stimulated by the awakening energy, Bai Zian¡¯s already awakened Beast-Taming talent underwent a unique transformation. This left Bai Zian quite astonished. However, it didn¡¯t seem like a bad thing for him. With this realization, Bai Zian fully relaxed and started absorbing the awakening energy frantically. Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar. Due to Bai Zian¡¯s intense absorption of the awakening energy, a vortex of energy formed around him. Above Bai Zian¡¯s position, a phantom of special purple eye slowly emerged. An awakening anomaly. This was a very unique phenomenon, something that could only occur when one¡¯s innate talent reached at least S-level, or even higher. What did this indicate? It indicated that Bai Zian¡¯s mutated Beast-Taming talent had already surpassed the A-level, reaching at least S-level. However, ordinary people had never witnessed an S-level or higher talent anomaly. Hence, this shocking anomaly immediately drew the attention of the examiners in the testing grounds. Yet, because of Bai Zian¡¯s special background, the examiners dared not interfere. After all, Bai Zian was the grandson of Bai Jingchong, the Lord of Bai Lin City. If anything happened to Bai Zian, the examiner could not afford the consequences. Thus, the examiner reported the situation to their superiors. In no time, two elderly men with imposing auras hurried to the scene. The man on the left was Bai Zian¡¯s grandfather, Bai Jingchong, while the white-haired elder on the right was Wu Xinghan, the chief examiner of the testing grounds. ¡°What happened? Why did you say Xiao An had a problem?¡± Bai Jingchong asked anxiously as he swiftly approached the examiner. Knowing that something had happened to Bai Zian, Bai Jingchong couldn¡¯t stay calm and rushed directly to his grandson¡¯s location. Not daring to hide anything, the examiner quickly described Bai Zian¡¯s unusual condition. ¡°An awakening anomaly? How is this possible? Xiao An had already awakened his Beast-Taming talent.¡± ¡°Could it be that Xiao An¡¯s [Intuition] talent has mutated, reaching the S-level? That would be excellent news.¡± Bai Jingchong pondered, his eyes gleaming with understanding. Bai Jingchong had a special background, formidable strength, and far surpassed the knowledge of an ordinary Beast Tamer. So, when he saw Bai Zian¡¯s condition, he formed a hypothesis. Bai Jingchong was ecstatic at this realization. It was an extremely rare opportunity. In his memory, throughout the entire history of human Beast-Taming, the number of Beast Tamers whose talents mutated could be counted on two hands. Every one of those tamers became legendary figures. How could Bai Jingchong not be thrilled? However, for some reason, when Bai Jingchong saw the purple eye anomaly formed by Bai Zian, he felt an involuntary sense of awe. It was as if this purple eye belonged to a supreme being, indifferent to all things, a majestic presence that made him feel a sense of danger. This made Bai Jingchong worried, and he wanted to enter the awakening hall to be by Bai Zian¡¯s side, to ensure his safety and peace of mind. ¡°Old Wu, let me into the awakening hall,¡± Bai Jingchong requested, looking at the elderly man beside him. ¡°Old Bai, don¡¯t make things difficult for me. You should know that as the Lord of Bai Lin City, you cannot enter the awakening hall,¡± Wu Xinghan replied helplessly. The awakening hall was directly under the jurisdiction of the Jiuzhou Federation and not the responsibility of the City Lord. Thus, the Jiuzhou Federation directly assigned a chief examiner to oversee each awakening hall, responsible for the talent awakening and registration. Even the City Lord did not have the authority to interfere. This was a rule set by the Jiuzhou Federation to prevent cheating in the exams. Due to this, hearing Bai Jingchong¡¯s desire to enter the awakening hall, Wu Xinghan, who was an old friend of Bai Jingchong¡¯s and the hall¡¯s chief examiner, felt quite troubled. For a moment, the two were at a deadlock. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Old Bai, your grandson will be fine. Haven¡¯t you already guessed what might be happening with Bai Zian?¡± ¡°This is undoubtedly a great thing for him. If you rashly go in, you might disturb him.¡± ¡°Rest assured, I won¡¯t let anything happen to your grandson,¡± Wu Xinghan reassured, finally calming Bai Jingchong down after much persuasion. However, Bai Jingchong did not leave. Instead, he stayed outside the testing grounds, watching over Bai Zian from afar. Chapter 5 - Mythical Talent, the Terrifying [Eye of Revelation] Chapter 5 Mythical Talent, the Terrifying [Eye of Revelation]The situation outside went unnoticed by Bai Zian, who was fully focused on feeling the changes happening within himself. Soon, under the influence of the awakening energy, Bai Zian¡¯s beast-taming talent completed its mutation. He could sense that his beast-taming talent had undergone a drastic transformation, as if nothing around him could be hidden from his sight. This was similar to his previous [Intuition] talent, but far more astonishing. [Eye of Revelation (Intuition ¨C Mutation)] At this moment, Bai Zian suddenly understood the name of his mutated talent. [Eye of Revelation]: A mythical level, mystical-type talent. There are three forms of omniscience in the world: what Heaven knows, what Earth knows, and what you know. This talent grants an extraordinary sense of intuition and foresight, allowing one to perceive divine revelations and understand everything within a certain radius centered on oneself. ¡°A mythical-level talent? What kind of rank is this?¡± ¡°And it¡¯s a mystical type? What sort of divine talent is this? It¡¯s simply unimaginable.¡± Bai Zian was at a loss for words, feeling both shocked and bewildered. The situation before him had already surpassed his understanding. To be honest, Bai Zian knew about mystical-type talents. These were a very special category among beast-taming talents, and beast tamers with mystical-type talents were extremely rare, possessing profound and enigmatic abilities. However, Bai Zian had never heard of a mythical level before. As far as everyone knew, there were nine levels of beast-taming talents: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. This was common knowledge among beast tamers. It was generally believed that an SSS-level talent was the pinnacle for a beast tamer. Bai Zian had never heard of any beast-taming talent that was classified as mythical. But from the name alone, it was clear that this talent was anything but ordinary. Thus, Bai Zian was left wondering: Bai Zian was already very pleased with this. He hadn¡¯t expected to gain such a big harvest during this awakening ceremony. After successfully completing the mutation of his beast-taming talent, Bai Zian slowly opened his eyes. His classmates who were participating in the awakening ceremony with him had mostly completed their awakening. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Those who successfully awakened their beast-taming talents were overjoyed, while those who failed were downcast. The atmosphere in the awakening hall was a stark contrast between joy and disappointment. However, Bai Zian did not pay much attention to this, as it was an expected outcome. But when Bai Zian looked at his classmates around him, he suddenly noticed some special entries floating above them. [Powerful Talent: D-level Enhancement Talent, capable of slightly boosting the talents of beast pets.][Swift Talent: C-level Enhancement Talent, capable of slightly increasing the speed of beast pets.][Wind Spirit Talent: A-level Elemental Talent, can harness the power of wind elements to enhance the skills of wind element beast pets.][¡­] For each classmate who successfully awakened a beast-taming talent, an entry appeared above them, describing their beast-taming talents. This sight left Bai Zian somewhat stunned. However, he quickly realized that this was an effect of his [Eye of Revelation] talent. He seemed to understand a bit more about what ¡°what Heaven knows, what Earth knows, and what you know¡± actually meant. According to the description of this ability, within a certain range, nothing could be hidden from his eyes. This was practically godlike. Because this ability could essentially be called [omniscient and omnipotent.] Well, maybe that¡¯s a bit of an exaggeration. Bai Zian¡¯s [Eye of Revelation] hadn¡¯t reached the level of ¡°omnipotent¡±; at best, it provided ¡°omniscience¡± within a certain range. However, even having comprehensive knowledge within a limited range was already quite extraordinary. If used wisely, Bai Zian could gain unimaginable advantages. Just imagine, when an enemy appears before him and hasn¡¯t even made a move yet, all the enemy¡¯s beast-taming talents, the abilities of the pets they carry, and even their various strengths and weaknesses would be completely exposed to Bai Zian. In such a situation, Bai Zian¡¯s chances of winning would be incredibly high. Because of this, Bai Zian was way too shocked. His mutated beast-taming talent seemed a bit overwhelming. After a while, Bai Zian finally calmed his mind. However, the astonishing effect of the [Eye of Revelation] talent made him feel a wave of curiosity. He kept examining the beast-taming talents of his classmates around him. Most of Bai Zian¡¯s classmates had successfully awakened their beast-taming talents, and generally speaking, their talents were quite good, with at least a D-level or above. What surprised Bai Zian, however, was that among his classmates, there were actually one or two with A-level beast-taming talents, which was quite impressive. It has to be said that among these second-generation beast tamers, there were quite a few geniuses. During this process, Bai Zian also noticed his grandfather, Bai Jingchong, who was not far from the examination hall. Bai Zian was slightly stunned by this but quickly understood why Bai Jingchong was there. Clearly, the commotion he had caused earlier had alarmed his grandfather. His grandfather had come to the exam hall to check on him out of concern. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for the exam hall rules, Bai Jingchong might have already come to Bai Zian¡¯s side to inquire about what had happened earlier. However, since the awakening ceremony wasn¡¯t entirely over, Bai Jingchong couldn¡¯t just barge in. In response, Bai Zian smiled calmly and gave Bai Jingchong a reassuring look, indicating that he was fine and that nothing had happened. Afterward, Bai Zian continued observing the situations of his classmates. After a while, Bai Zian was about to stop. However, at that moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over the projection of the awakening divine stone above. A special entry suddenly appeared. ¡­ Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Secret of the Jiuzhou Federation, The Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life[Species]: Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life (Life-type) [Talent]: Life Leap (SS) [Aptitude]: Primary Divine [Skills]: Talent Awakening (Gold), Life Force Plunder (Orange), Revival of the Withered (Orange)¡­ [Description]: A seed of the Ancient Tree of Life, its SS-level talent, Life Leap, can promote biological evolution and assist humans in awakening their beast-taming talents. (Note: Due to the lack of divine material and sufficient nutrients, the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life is unable to grow and remains in a dormant state.) ¡°Hiss! The awakening divine stone of the Jiuzhou Federation is actually a spirit beast, and not just any spirit beast but one at the divine level, a mythical beast from legends.¡± ¡°Moreover, the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life possesses dual SS-level talents, a golden divine-level skill, and many orange high-level skills.¡± ¡°Once the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life awakens, it will definitely bring huge troubles.¡± ¡°How is this possible? Are the leaders of the Jiuzhou Federation playing with fire, or do they not even know about this?¡± Bai Zian¡¯s pupils contracted as he stared in shock at the projection of the awakening divine stone above the Awakening Hall, momentarily speechless. Because he realized that he had unintentionally discovered a shocking secret. The divine stone, which had helped countless beast tamers awaken their talents and created the prosperous era of beast taming¡ªconsidered a cornerstone of the Jiuzhou Federation¡ªturns out to be a spirit beast at the divine level in disguise. And this spirit beast even possesses divine-level skills. This revelation was stunning. Spirit beast skills were divided into six levels: white for ordinary skills, green for beginner skills, blue for intermediate skills, purple for advanced skills, orange for top-tier skills, and gold for divine skills. As for whether there were any legendary skills beyond that, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t sure, as such knowledge was beyond his current reach. However, divine skills could already be considered the pinnacle. This demonstrated the formidable nature of the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life. Hence, Bai Zian was so shocked. But then again, did the leadership of the Jiuzhou Federation know that the awakening divine stone was actually a dormant divine beast¡¯s offspring? If they were aware, that would be somewhat reassuring, indicating they had some awareness of the situation. If they were unaware and merely regarded the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life as a treasure, then its future awakening might pose a significant hidden danger. After all, the Ancient Tree of Life had a top-tier skill called ¡°Life Force Plunder.¡± If it were to be activated, it could undoubtedly cause a massive catastrophe. Bai Zian suddenly realized that this world of beast taming might not be as simple as he had imagined. ¡°All students, please line up according to your student numbers and register your awakening status.¡± While Bai Zian was lost in thought, the examiner¡¯s voice rang out, organizing all the candidates to register their awakening status. The registration needed to record whether candidates had awakened their beast-taming talents and what abilities their awakened talents possessed. This was necessary for the Jiuzhou Federation¡¯s management of beast tamers. Bai Zian had no objections to this and began queuing up. ¡°Bu Yingcai, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: D-level enhancement-type talent [Strength].¡± ¡°Zhao Jiade, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: C-level enhancement-type talent [Speed].¡± ¡°An Xiuman, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: A-level element-type talent [Wind Spirit].¡± The Jiuzhou Federation naturally had methods for identifying talents, and students who had just awakened their beast-taming talents could not hide their talents from the Federation. This was one reason why the Jiuzhou Federation dared to allow the children of aristocratic families and special sects to participate in the awakening ceremony. Likewise, Bai Zian¡¯s situation likely couldn¡¯t be concealed. Of course, while Bai Zian didn¡¯t want to draw attention, he had no intention of hiding either. Only students from humble backgrounds needed to hide their talents because they lacked the powerful backgrounds and resources to protect themselves while still weak, forcing them to find ways to conceal their abilities. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Bai Zian had no such concerns. Given his background, he was among the strongest in the entire world of the Ten Thousand Spider Nests. His grandfather, Bai Jingchong, was one of the seven city lords in the entire world of the Ten Thousand Spider Nests. One could say his grandfather was one of the most powerful beings in this world. Under such circumstances, what shadowy force would dare target him? Anyone lurking in the shadows who set their sights on Bai Zian would likely be crushed by Bai Jingchong the moment they stepped foot in Bai Lin City. Thus, Bai Zian had no need to worry about anything. Pretending to be weak? Not a chance. He was on the path of a prodigy. Therefore, Bai Zian had nothing to fear. Soon, it was Bai Zian¡¯s turn to register his talent. Bai Zian reached out his hand and placed it on the identification device. ¡°Bai Zian, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: beyond A-level, outside identification range, unable to be identified, possibly related to A-level psychic-type talent [Intuition].¡± The identification machine emitted a mechanical voice, causing the examiner and the candidates present to be stunned. The identification machine¡¯s inability to identify a talent was quite unusual. For a moment, the examiner was at a loss and reported the situation. Soon, the person in charge of the examination site, Wu Xinghan, arrived. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is; this is normal. The identification machine can only identify beast-taming talents below S-level.¡± ¡°The manifestation of talent anomaly during awakening is a hallmark of S-level talents. Coupled with its relation to the A-level talent [Intuition], it should be identified as the S-level talent [Super Intuition].¡± ¡°All right, record it as such.¡± ¡°Bai Zian, affiliated with Bai Lin City No.1 High School, Class 3-1, awakened talent: S-level psychic-type talent [Super Intuition].¡± Wu Xinghan assessed the situation and drew his conclusion. He had already been aware of Bai Zian¡¯s circumstances. After all, during Bai Zian¡¯s awakening, both he and Bai Jingchong were watching outside. Moreover, Wu Xinghan was from the Jiuzhou Federation and was well-versed in matters regarding S-level talents! However, S-level psychic-type talents were incredibly rare, even on the Origin Star! Thus, Wu Xinghan could only define Bai Zian¡¯s beast-taming talent as the superior form of the A-level talent [Intuition], the S-level talent [Super Intuition]! This was Wu Xinghan¡¯s thought process! Therefore, Wu Xinghan made his judgment and concluded the matter. Throughout the process, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t even get a word in. By the time Bai Zian realized what had happened, Wu Xinghan had already left. Bai Zian was at a loss for words. Chapter 7 - The Heaven-Defying [Eye of Revelation] Is Comparable to the [Omniscient] God! Chapter 7 The Heaven-Defying [Eye of Revelation] Is Comparable to the [Omniscient] God!The erroneous judgment made by Wu Xinghan, the head of the Awakening Hall, led him to mistake Bai Zian¡¯s mythical talent, [Eye of Revelation], for an S-level talent called [Super Intuition]. This left Bai Zian speechless. However, Bai Zian had no intention of correcting him. Because he still had some doubts in his mind. Bai Zian had a gut feeling. If he were to speak out rashly, it might bring unnecessary trouble. This was a warning from his mythical talent, [Eye of Revelation], and its reliability was very high. So, Bai Zian naturally needed to be more cautious. Since that was the case, he decided not to reveal anything and just research it himself. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, being deemed as having an S-level beast mastery talent was enough to make him the most outstanding figure in all of Bai Lin City. Besides, as the grandson of the city¡¯s lord, he definitely wouldn¡¯t lack resources. So Bai Zian couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything more. One could say this matter was mistakenly confirmed in such a way. However, Bai Zian¡¯s awakening of an ¡°S-level talent¡± was destined not to end here. The true impact was only just beginning to spread. His classmates gathered around one by one, looking at Bai Zian with astonishment in their eyes. ¡°Young Master Bai, did you really awaken an S-level talent?¡± ¡°Congratulations, Young Master Bai, on successfully awakening an S-level talent.¡± ¡°The legendary S-level talent, what an amazing gift, you¡¯re going places!¡± ¡°Your grandfather is a diamond-level beast master, and now you¡¯ve awakened an S-level beast mastery talent. You¡¯re truly the favored of the heavens¡ªthis is unbelievable.¡± ¡°Young Master Bai, when you become powerful, don¡¯t forget your old classmates!¡± The news of Bai Zian awakening an ¡°S-level talent¡± shocked everyone around him. Bai Zian found it a bit troublesome but still dealt with his classmates¡¯ reactions. Fortunately, the awakening ceremony needed to continue. The next batch of candidates was still waiting in line for their turn to awaken. So, the examiners ushered Bai Zian and the other candidates out of the Awakening Hall to make way for the next group. As Bai Zian and his classmates stepped outside, Bai Jingchong was already waiting there. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Zian quickly returned to his grandfather Bai Jingchong¡¯s side, finally escaping his classmates¡¯ entanglement. ¡°Xiao An, how does the talent mutation feel? Any abnormalities?¡± Bai Jingchong hurriedly inquired, eager to know Bai Zian¡¯s condition. ¡°Grandfather, I feel great. It¡¯s just a pity I didn¡¯t get to use this chance to construct my beast space.¡± Bai Zian nodded slightly, reassuring him there was no need to worry. There was just one regret. Originally, his main purpose in participating in the awakening ceremony was to use the energy from the Awakening Stone¡ªor rather, the Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life¡ªto build his beast space. But unexpectedly, his beast taming talent mutated, leaving him no time to construct the space. ¡°No worries, that¡¯s just a minor issue.¡± Bai Jingchong remained calm, not concerned at all. After all, compared to a talent mutation, constructing a beast space with the awakening energy was a trivial matter. Moreover, with the resources of the city lord¡¯s mansion, helping Bai Zian quickly build his beast space wouldn¡¯t waste much time. The slight resource loss was nothing compared to what Bai Zian had gained. Thus, Bai Jingchong didn¡¯t pay it any mind. Still, he was somewhat concerned about Bai Zian¡¯s mutated talent. Seizing the opportunity, Bai Jingchong helped Bai Zian undergo a thorough check. Only after confirming that Bai Zian¡¯s physical and mental states were completely intact did Bai Jingchong finally relax. In the time that followed, Bai Zian didn¡¯t leave immediately. Instead, he stayed by Bai Jingchong¡¯s side, familiarizing himself with and studying the effects of his [Eye of Revelation] talent. First was intelligence gathering. The [Eye of Revelation] could see through an enemy¡¯s information. So far, this ability seemed to have no limit in terms of power. After all, even the Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life, a creature of the divine beast level, was seen through by Bai Zian. It must be noted that Bai Zian hadn¡¯t even become a beast master yet. This alone was astounding. Bai Zian was certain that even a diamond-tier expert like Bai Jingchong couldn¡¯t see through the Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life. However, Bai Zian used his [Eye of Revelation] to completely see through its disguise. The ability to see through enemies without limitation. This meant all lies and deceptions were exposed before Bai Zian! This would provide Bai Zian with immense help. Additionally, the [Eye of Revelation] could also be used for treasure hunting. [Ding, 10 meters ahead, a fire-type spirit beast, the Crimson Flame Hound, has been detected.] But that wasn¡¯t important; what mattered was the [Eye of Revelation¡¯s] effect. This was the second ability of the [Eye of Revelation], allowing him to detect various spirit beasts and treasures within a certain range. This was practically a godly detection skill. Any treasure appearing near Bai Zian would no longer be able to escape his notice. From now on, obtaining treasures would be much easier for him. Moreover, this ability reminded Bai Zian of the golden finger he had read about in novels in his previous life. That was the system notification sound. In some novels, the protagonist could receive system notifications, allowing them to discover all kinds of treasures. And Bai Zian¡¯s [Eye of Revelation] talent had a similar ability. The only difference was that this wasn¡¯t some system power but Bai Zian¡¯s own beast taming talent. These two abilities would undoubtedly be of immense help to Bai Zian. It had to be said that the impact of mythical talents was truly astounding. Bai Zian was already more than satisfied with this. The only slight regret was that the [Eye of Revelation] seemed to have a limited perception range. Currently, Bai Zian could only detect things within a 10-meter radius around him. This might be the only flaw of the [Eye of Revelation]. However, this was likely due to Bai Zian¡¯s current lack of strength. As Bai Zian¡¯s power increased, the detection range would surely expand. Once he grew to a certain level, his detection range might even cover the entire world. At that point, nothing in the world would escape Bai Zian¡¯s perception. Then, Bai Zian would become an omniscient god. Such was the power of the [Eye of Revelation] talent, an extraordinary ability of a mythical talent. Chapter 8 - S-Class Talent [Phoenix Flame], The Rise of the Little Phoenix! Chapter 8 S-Class Talent [Phoenix Flame], The Rise of the Little Phoenix!¡°The mythical talent, Eye of Revelation, is truly astonishing. It can provide me with immense help.¡± The more Bai Zian understood the [Eye of Revelation], the more delighted he became. This talent¡¯s effects were incredibly remarkable, certain to play a significant role in Bai Zian¡¯s journey as a Beast Tamer. Because of this, Bai Zian disregarded other matters and devoted himself entirely to researching the [Eye of Revelation]. However, at that moment, a domineering phoenix cry echoed from within the Awakening Hall. Simultaneously, a phoenix formed from flames soared straight into the sky. In an instant, all the flying spiritual beasts around the Awakening Hall were trembling on the ground, as if some terrifying presence had appeared. ¡°The cry of a phoenix, flames in the shape of a phoenix. This is the phenomenon of the S-Class talent, [Phoenix Flame]. The Feng family¡¯s current generation is quite impressive.¡± Bai Jingchong¡¯s gaze sharpened as if he¡¯d guessed something, and he slowly spoke. ¡°An S-Class talent [Phoenix Flame]? Is this the little phoenix¡¯s talent? This is quite unexpected.¡± Hearing his grandfather¡¯s muttering, Bai Zian immediately guessed the truth. After all, in the current generation of the Feng family, only Feng Qianyu was participating in the awakening ceremony. In other words, Feng Qianyu had awakened an S-Class Beast Tamer talent. This left Bai Zian somewhat surprised. Although he often teased Feng Qianyu as the ¡°little phoenix,¡± it was mainly because that girl was so proud, she acted as if her tail could reach the heavens. But he hadn¡¯t expected that Feng Qianyu would truly become a phoenix this time, awakening a Beast Tamer talent related to the phoenix. Now, there was no way he could mess with her anymore. Bai Zian hadn¡¯t forgotten the previous bet. This was one of the reasons he remained at the Awakening Plaza. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Originally, Bai Zian had planned to ¡°show off¡± in front of Feng Qianyu and enjoy seeing her devastated expression. But now, since they both ¡°awakened¡± S-Class talents, it was essentially a tie. Of course, if Bai Zian revealed his true situation, he would undoubtedly win the bet. However, exposing his mythical-level talent just to win a bet¡ªBai Zian wasn¡¯t foolish enough to do something like that. ¡°This is boring. Grandpa, I¡¯m heading home.¡± Bai Zian turned to Bai Jingchong and said. Since there was no fun to be had, there was no need to waste time here. Of course, if he stayed longer, he might still receive some benefits. For example, the principal of their school would likely present him with some treasures as a reward. After all, Bai Zian, having awakened an S-Class talent, had broken the school¡¯s previous records. But for Bai Zian, he couldn¡¯t care less about the principal¡¯s meager rewards. Their school principal was merely a Silver-level Beast Tamer. Whatever treasures a Silver Beast Tamer could offer would hardly be valuable. When it came to treasures, the ones in the City Lord¡¯s mansion far surpassed anything else. This was the confidence that came with being a second-generation¡ªno, third-generation¡ªBeast Tamer. Most importantly, Bai Zian didn¡¯t like socializing. Once the awakening ceremony concluded and news of his S-Class talent spread, it would cause a huge stir. At that point, classmates, teachers, principals, even the nobles and military leaders of Bai Lin City, would all swarm around him. All that socializing would likely drive him crazy. So why not just slip away now and return to his research on the [Eye of Revelation]? ¡°All right, all right, go home and cultivate well.¡± ¡°By the way, here¡¯s the key to the City Lord¡¯s treasure vault. Take some Spirit Jade Crystals from there, they¡¯ll help you build your Beast Taming space.¡± ¡°And make sure Bai Zhi and Bai Shao stay by your side. Don¡¯t act alone.¡± Bai Jingchong nodded slightly and gave some instructions. ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡± Hearing Bai Jingchong¡¯s words, Bai Zian was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. These were top-tier treasures, imbued with the power of the crystal jades, greatly beneficial for creating Beast Taming spaces. Usually, Beast Tamers would only use Spirit Jade Crystals when breaking through, to push their Beast Taming space to a higher level. Moreover, due to the crystal¡¯s remarkable effects, its market price was extremely high, starting at least a million Jiuzhou coins. In fact, this treasure often was not even available for purchase. This showed just how valuable Spirit Jade Crystals were. To put it simply, even skilled Beast Tamers found it hard to acquire Spirit Jade Crystals, let alone use them to build their Beast Taming spaces. This wasn¡¯t just luxury¡ªit was wasteful. Using Spirit Jade Crystals to create Beast Taming spaces was simply too extravagant. Yet now, Bai Jingchong had given Bai Zian permission to use the City Lord¡¯s Spirit Jade Crystals, just to save time in constructing his Beast Taming space. Such a thing was unimaginable for an average Beast Tamer. As for Bai Zhi and Bai Shao mentioned by Bai Jingchong, they were retainers of the Bai family, both powerful Gold-level Beast Tamers, and trusted subordinates of Bai Jingchong. But now, Bai Jingchong was sending both to protect Bai Zian. After all, having successfully ¡°awakened¡± an S-Class talent, Bai Zian would soon become one of the brightest stars in the secret realm of the Myriad Spider Nest. There was no telling if anyone with ill intentions might target him. However, with Bai Zhi and Bai Shao¡ªtwo Gold-level Beast Tamers¡ªguarding him, Bai Zian¡¯s safety was assured. Resources for cultivation and protection for Bai Zian¡ªBai Jingchong had arranged everything. Bai Zian had nothing to worry about and could focus solely on cultivating. This was the benefit of having a strong background. For this reason, Bai Zian was delighted. Afterward, he bid farewell to Bai Jingchong and, under the escort of the guards, returned directly to the City Lord¡¯s mansion. Chapter 9 - The New Ability of the Eye of Revelation, Constructing the Perfect Mythical Beast Space! Chapter 9 The New Ability of the Eye of Revelation, Constructing the Perfect Mythical Beast Space!When Bai Zian returned to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, apart from a few servants, there was no one else around. His parents were busy with their work, and his younger sister had already been sent to school, which spared Bai Zian from some hassle. Without wasting any time, Bai Zian took the elevator straight to the villa¡¯s basement. He asked Bai Zhi and Bai Shao to wait outside while he went into the basement alone. Bai Zian used the key to the treasure vault given by Bai Jingchong and unlocked the vault door, entering it by himself. Immediately, various treasures and resources appeared in front of Bai Zian. Many of these resources were rare treasures, the kind that would spark a frenzy among beast tamers if found in the outside world. However, Bai Zian didn¡¯t pay much attention to them; instead, he focused on searching for the Spirit Jade Crystals. To Bai Zian, the most important thing at the moment was constructing his beast space. Other treasures were useless to him for now, so there was no need to look at them. Soon enough, Bai Zian arrived in front of a row of iron boxes. [0.5 meters ahead, a large amount of Spirit Jade Crystal detected.] The prompt from the Eye of Revelation appeared in Bai Zian¡¯s mind. Opening the first iron box, he saw fist-sized hexagonal jade stones glowing with a faint white light. These were indeed the Spirit Jade Crystals that Bai Zian needed. However, the number of Spirit Jade Crystals exceeded Bai Zian¡¯s expectations. ¡°A whole box of Spirit Jade Crystals? Isn¡¯t that a bit too much?¡± Bai Zian was stunned. Judging by the number of Spirit Jade Crystals in this box, there were at least 300 pieces. Each Spirit Jade Crystal was worth at least one million Jiuzhou coins. With 200 to 300 crystals, that would be over 300 million Jiuzhou coins. Realizing what this might mean, Bai Zian opened the other iron boxes. Immediately, dazzling white light flooded his vision. Box after box of Spirit Jade Crystals appeared before Bai Zian. Bai Zian was in awe. All the iron boxes were filled with Spirit Jade Crystals. It seemed he had underestimated the wealth of a diamond-level beast tamer. The stronger a beast tamer, the more astonishing their accumulated wealth. However, this wasn¡¯t a bad thing for him. He could now use the Spirit Jade Crystals to their fullest potential and construct his beast space. With this in mind, Bai Zian stopped hesitating and dragged one of the iron boxes back to his room. ¡°Sister Bai Zhi, I need a quiet environment. Please make sure no one disturbs me.¡± After a brief instruction, Bai Zian began preparing to construct his beast space. As for how to construct a beast space, Bai Zian was naturally very familiar. After all, it was part of the knowledge taught in class. The strength of a beast space was closely related to one¡¯s beast-taming talent. The higher the talent, the stronger the beast space, and the greater the benefits it would bring to the contracted beasts. There was no need to dwell on the beast-taming talent, as Bai Zian¡¯s talent was at the mythical level, the absolute pinnacle. The beast space he constructed would undoubtedly be one of the best. Regarding the resources required: for example, the amount of Spirit Jade Crystals needed. If an F-level beast tamer required one Spirit Jade Crystal to construct their beast space, an S-level tamer might need 20 or 30 pieces. ¡°My beast-taming talent is mythical level, so it¡¯ll probably take 200 or 300 pieces to construct my beast space.¡± Bai Zian muttered to himself. While this number may not seem high, it was actually quite shocking. After all, this wasn¡¯t about a high-level beast tamer breaking through a realm, but just the initial construction of a beast space. Constructing a beast space was only the starting point for a beast tamer. If it took 200 to 300 pieces just to start, the amount required in the future would only increase as Bai Zian grew stronger. Thinking about this, Bai Zian was about to start constructing his beast space. However, just at that moment, the ¡°Heaven¡¯s Insight¡± from the Eye of Revelation reappeared. [You are researching the construction of the beast space and have received Heaven¡¯s Insight.][First method of constructing the beast space: Ordinary Mythical Beast Space (requires 333 Spirit Jade Crystals; detailed method as follows¡­)][Second method: Enhanced Mythical Beast Space (requires 666 Spirit Jade Crystals; detailed method as follows¡­)][Third method: Perfect Mythical Beast Space (requires 999 Spirit Jade Crystals; detailed method as follows¡­)] A special prompt appeared before Bai Zian. ¡°Studying the construction of the beast space triggers Heaven¡¯s Insight?¡± Bai Zian was stunned. However, a moment later, his face revealed an uncontrollable excitement. Inadvertently, he had discovered a new use for the Eye of Revelation. By merely having a question in his mind, he could receive Heaven¡¯s Insight and directly gain various answers, helping him resolve his doubts. This ability was even more impressive than some online encyclopedia. Just the thought of it made him excited. Indeed, his talent, the Eye of Revelation, was extremely mysterious and had many other abilities waiting to be explored. But for now, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t in a hurry. The most important task at hand was to complete the construction of his beast space. As for which construction method Bai Zian would choose, there was no need to ask. Naturally, he would choose the third option. The Perfect Mythical Beast Space would undoubtedly be the most powerful and would provide the best effects. Given Bai Zian¡¯s personality, he naturally pursued perfection in everything he did. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As for the consumption of Spirit Jade Crystals, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t concerned at all. Resources were the one thing he had in abundance. With a diamond-level beast tamer as his grandfather, and also being the lord of a major city, he was never going to run short of resources. With that in mind, Bai Zian stepped out of his room, returned to the treasure vault, and dragged out two more boxes of Spirit Jade Crystals. Once everything was prepared, Bai Zian followed the method provided by Heaven¡¯s Insight and began constructing the Perfect Mythical Beast Space. Chapter 10 - Bai Lin City is Shaken, Three Additional Effects! Chapter 10 Bai Lin City is Shaken, Three Additional Effects!Under the guidance of Heaven¡¯s Insight from the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian began constructing a perfect mythical-level beast-controlling space. While Bai Zian was preoccupied with his task, news of the awakening ceremony spread. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. High-ranking officials and city leaders quickly learned that two prodigies with S-tier talents had emerged. Bai Zian, the grandson of City Lord Bai Jingchong. Feng Qianyu, the granddaughter of Vice City Lord Feng Yangyan. This caused quite a stir, shocking many prominent figures. Once they grasped the situation, they hurriedly prepared lavish gifts and rushed to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and the Vice City Lord¡¯s Mansion, eager to congratulate Bai Zian and Feng Qianyu and to strengthen their ties with these families. After all, the elders of Bai Zian and Feng Qianyu were already powerful figures, and now, with their top-tier beast-controlling talents, the two younger ones were clearly set for greatness. If they didn¡¯t seize the opportunity to establish closer relationships now, when would they? It was foreseeable that the Bai and Feng families would be swamped with visitors in the days to come. Of course, the number of dignitaries rushing to the Bai family was obviously more. The reason was simple¡ªBai Jingchong was the strongest in Bai Lin City. Compared with Feng family, Bai family was more worthy of currying favor with. In a world where strength reigned supreme, this was the most practical and effective principle. ¡°Butler, has the young master returned?¡± Meanwhile, Bai Zian¡¯s parents rushed back to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, clearly shaken by the news as well. Upon learning that Bai Zian had awakened an S-tier talent, they were both puzzled and shocked. They were puzzled because Bai Zian had already awakened an A-tier talent, [Intuition], so how could there be another awakening? They were shocked by the emergence of an S-tier talent. Unable to remain calm, they hurried back to the mansion. However, upon hearing that Bai Zian was in seclusion, preparing to open his beast-controlling space, they quickly left his room, not wanting to disturb him. Bai Zian¡¯s mother even summoned several attendants to guard his room, ensuring no disturbances from the outside world. Due to Bai Zian¡¯s ¡°awakening¡± of the S-tier talent, the outside world was already in turmoil. However, Bai Zian knew nothing of this, as all his attention was focused on constructing the perfect beast-controlling space. Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. For the entire week, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t left his room. All his meals were brought to the door by servants. He ignored everything outside, completely immersed in his task. Finally, Bai Zian refined the last piece of the spiritual crystal. When Bai Zian successfully refined the 999th piece of the spiritual crystal, the perfect mythical-level beast-controlling space was finally constructed. At that moment, a mysterious and profound aura enveloped Bai Zian. He could feel his spiritual power surging as if it had been elevated. Moreover, he grew a few centimeters taller, appearing stronger. This was a feedback of successfully constructing the beast-controlling space. Simultaneously, Bai Zian sensed the emergence of a special space within his soul. It was the size of an island, with blue skies, white clouds, mountains, and rivers, creating a beautiful scene. This was Bai Zian¡¯s beast-controlling space, a perfect mythical beast space. ¡°My beast space is an island? That¡¯s incredible!¡± Bai Zian opened his eyes, astonishment flashing within them. As the descendant of a beast tamer, Bai Zian was naturally knowledgeable about beast-controlling spaces. According to what he knew, an average beast master¡¯s space would be no larger than a room¡ªa small, white, empty space with nothing inside. But his space was not only vast, the size of an island, but it also contained everything one could need! This went beyond his understanding. However, after some thought, he realized that his beast-controlling space was a perfect mythical-level space, so it was only natural for it to be a little special. Additionally, a beast-controlling space could expand as a beast tamer¡¯s strength grew. With Bai Zian¡¯s space being so vast, if it continued to grow, wouldn¡¯t it eventually become a whole world? This was simply mind-blowing. Because of this, Bai Zian was overjoyed. After a while, he calmed down and began investigating the additional effects of his beast-controlling space. Yes, a beast tamer¡¯s space could sometimes have additional effects. Given that Bai Zian¡¯s space was a perfect mythical-level one, it was certain to have extra effects. [Mythical Beast-controlling Space (Perfect Level) Additional Effects: Shortens the growth time of beasts, removes negative effects from beasts, and has a certain chance of unlocking hidden talents in beasts.] ¡°Three additional effects? The power of a mythical beast-controlling space is truly astonishing!¡± After understanding the space¡¯s abilities, Bai Zian was shocked. An ordinary beast-controlling space having even one additional effect was already extraordinary. His space actually had three! The perfect mythical beast-controlling space was truly remarkable. As for the specific uses of the three additional effects. The first additional effect shortens the growth time of pets. This additional effect was of great help to Bai Zian. He had a mythical beast taming talent and had great ambitions. The pet he wanted to contract must be a spirit beast with great potential, which was worthy of his mythical talent. However, there was a rule in the world of beast taming. The greater the potential of the spirit beast, the longer the growth cycle. This was a difficult problem. However, Bai Zian¡¯s talent for controlling beasts could help him solve this problem directly. It could shorten the growth time of pets, so that even if he subdued some spirit beasts with great potential, they could grow up in a short time. It could be said that this incidental effect was extremely effective. As for the second incidental effect, it could remove the negative effects of pets. This effect was also somewhat surprising. Some special pets might cause special damage, or control, or poisoning, or frostbite, or burns and other negative damage. This was very troublesome for pets. However, Bai Zian¡¯s beast control space could actually remove negative effects. Chapter 11 - The Effects of Beast Space, Shocked Bai Jingchong! Chapter 11 The Effects of Beast Space, Shocked Bai Jingchong!Shorten the growth time of pet beasts and remove negative effects from them. These two additional effects of the Mythical Beastmaster Space could provide great help to Bai Zian. However, in Bai Zian¡¯s opinion, the third additional effect was the most astonishing. There was a certain probability that it could awaken a pet beast¡¯s hidden talents. This was truly extraordinary. You must know that a spirit beast¡¯s talents were fixed from birth and rarely ever change. Only a few legendary top-tier treasures had the potential to strengthen or alter a spirit beast¡¯s talents. But now, Bai Zian¡¯s Mythical Beast Space could actually awaken a spirit beast¡¯s hidden talents. In other words, if a single-talent spirit beast was captured by Bai Zian, wouldn¡¯t it have the possibility of becoming a dual-talent pet beast? For this reason, Bai Zian valued this talent so highly. To be honest, if used properly, this additional effect could bring Bai Zian a great surprise. ¡°So this is what the perfect-level Mythical Beast Space is like; it certainly hasn¡¯t disappointed me.¡± After a long while, Bai Zian sighed with emotion. The three additional effects were more astounding than the next, and you could even say they were out of this world. Indeed, spending 999 spirit jade crystals to build a Perfect Mythical Beast Space was a truly wise decision. Of course, to be honest, Bai Zian must thank his background for this. If he were an ordinary student with no background, Even if he had a strong talent, he wouldn¡¯t be able to gather enough spirit jade crystals to build a perfect-level Beast Space.

One had to admit, the path of a Beast Tamer was not only about raising pet beasts but also an endless road of spending money. And it was because of his extraordinary background that he had the confidence to embark on the Beast Tamer path. Regarding this, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional. After a while, Bai Zian tidied up and prepared to leave the room. After all, now that the Mythical Beast Space had been built, he should inform his family. Coincidentally, a week had passed, so the commotion outside should have settled down by now! With this thought, Bai Zian walked downstairs to the living room on the first floor. As soon as he entered the living room, Bai Zian saw that his grandfather Bai Jingchong and his parents were all present. This surprised Bai Zian because, at this time, they should have been busy, right? You must know that Bai Jingchong, as the city lord, and his parents, as gold-level Beast Tamers, were usually very busy and rarely come home. But on second thought, he immediately understood. They stayed at home because of his situation. ¡°Xiao An, you¡¯re finally out. How are you feeling?¡± ¡°Xiao An, did you successfully build the Beast Space?¡± ¡°Xiao An, what¡¯s going on with your talent change?¡± As soon as Bai Zian arrived, a barrage of questions came at him. This gave Bai Zian a bit of a headache, and he quickly turned to his mother and said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m so hungry. Can we eat first?¡± Although the servants regularly brought food to his room during his seclusion, At that time, Bai Zian was in no mood to eat, so he only ate a little. Now that he was finally out, all he wanted was to have a good meal. ¡°Right, right, let¡¯s eat first.¡± Hearing Bai Zian¡¯s words, his mother, Lu Caiyun, immediately responded, then went to the kitchen to instruct the servants to prepare food. A little while later, a variety of delicious dishes were served on the table. Only then did Bai Zian start eating heartily. After finishing his meal, Bai Zian slowly recounted what had happened earlier. Of course, Bai Zian was selective in his description. He didn¡¯t mention the Mythical-grade talent [Eye of Revelation]. Because he had a feeling that the fewer people knew about this, the better. So Bai Zian only said that his talent had mutated, changing from the A-grade talent [Intuition] to the S-grade talent [Super Intuition], and that he had successfully built the Beast Space. After all, this was something officially recognized by the Awakening Hall, so he just needed to accept it. After a while, Bai Zian finally stopped talking. ¡°I never thought you¡¯d have such an opportunity. As expected of my son.¡± His father, Bai Chengzhi, couldn¡¯t help but laugh and say. Although he didn¡¯t know about the Mythical-grade talent, Bai Zian¡¯s ability to mutate his talent after awakening and evolve it into an ¡°S-grade talent¡± still made him very happy. An S-grade talent. It¡¯s a rare sight in the entire Ten Thousand Spider Nest secret world, and Bai Zian having such a talent made him a peerless genius. With the resources of the Bai family, Bai Zian would undoubtedly grow to great heights, possibly even having the chance to glimpse the legendary God-level Beast Tamer realm. For this, Bai Chengzhi was naturally overjoyed. ¡°My son An has the makings of a God-level Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Hmph. Is that thanks to you? Don¡¯t give yourself too much credit. Without my excellent bloodline, where would you be? Where would Xiao An be?¡± Grandfather Bai Jingchong couldn¡¯t help but retort. Bai Chengzhi was left speechless and could only look at his father with a mix of resentment. Seeing this, Bai Zian simply smiled and said nothing, too lazy to get involved. After a while, Bai Jingchong asked about the Beast Space, curious to know if it had any additional effects. ¡°My Beast Space can shorten the growth time of pet beasts and remove negative effects from them.¡± Bai Zian hesitated slightly before revealing two of the effects. As for the third effect, Bai Zian didn¡¯t mention it, because it was too extraordinary and might attract unnecessary trouble. However, even knowing that Bai Zian¡¯s Beast Space had two effects was enough to shock them. Because they had never heard of anyone whose Beast Space had two additional effects. It seemed a bit exaggerated. But thinking about Bai Zian¡¯s mutated talent, it wasn¡¯t too hard to understand. After all, a mutated talent was the most unique existence, so being a bit different from others was quite normal. So, after their initial shock, Bai Jingchong and the others were all happy for Bai Zian. ¡°By the way, Grandpa, I used nearly 1,000 spirit jade crystals to build the Beast Space.¡± Seizing the moment while Bai Jingchong was in high spirits, Bai Zian mentioned the consumption of spirit jade crystals. As soon as he said this, Bai Jingchong¡¯s smile froze. Chapter 12 - The Choice of the First Pet, Bai Jingchong’s Recommendation! Chapter 12 The Choice of the First Pet, Bai Jingchong¡¯s Recommendation!¡°What? Building the Beast Space costs so many spirit jade crystals? You spendthrift!¡± Upon hearing Bai Zian¡¯s words, everyone was momentarily stunned. Especially Bai Zian¡¯s father, Bai Chengzhi, who couldn¡¯t help but exclaim loudly. Moreover, spirit jade crystals were rare treasures, not comparable to ordinary Beast tamer¡¯s materials. And this was somewhat beyond reason. He had never heard of a Beast Space requiring as many as a thousand spirit jade crystals to build. ¡°Stinky brat, what are you yelling about? Shut up.¡± ¡°Xiao An¡¯s Beast Tamer talent is a mutated S-grade. So what if it costs a few more spirit jade crystals? It¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡± Bai Jingchong couldn¡¯t help but speak up, directly reprimanding Bai Chengzhi, and then looked at Bai Zian with a satisfied expression. Although he was also somewhat surprised when he first heard it, After thinking it over, Bai Jingchong was reassured. He was his most beloved grandson, so Bai Jingchong didn¡¯t mind using more resources. In contrast, Bai Chengzhi was left speechless and felt quite resigned. In the past, when he built his Beast Space, his father wasn¡¯t so generous. Now that it was his child, his father seemed to treat resources as if they¡¯re limitless, allowing Bai Zian to spend freely. It was truly unreasonable. However, since his father had spoken, he couldn¡¯t say much more. This matter seemed to come to an end here. ¡°Xiao An, you¡¯ve successfully built the Beast Space. It¡¯s time to contract your first spirit beast, right?¡± Bai Jingchong looked at Bai Zian and asked about the important next step. The three stages of becoming a Beast tamer were: awakening the Beast Tamer talent, building the Beast Space, and contracting the first pet beast. The first two steps were already completed, and only the final step remained. ¡°Grandpa, do you have any suggestions for a water-type spirit beast?¡± Bai Zian pondered for a moment, then looked back at Bai Jingchong. To be honest, his first pet beast would definitely be a water-type spirit beast. This was a given. The reason was simple. The Bai family was known for its water-type spirit beasts. They had unique training secrets, a stable source of water-type spirit beasts, and the necessary growth resources for water-type spirit beasts. For this reason, the first pet beast of Bai family disciples was almost always a water-type spirit beast. With just the family resources, Bai family disciples could quickly gain strength and establish themselves in the Beast Taming field. Just like Bai Zian¡¯s father and grandfather, their first pet beasts were all water-type spirit beasts. Of course, this didn¡¯t mean that all future pet beasts had to be water-type. The Bai family did not require specialization in water-type beyond the first pet beast. Future pet beasts could be of any type, depending on personal needs and preferences. However, for Bai Zian, the family¡¯s constraints were actually not very strict. After all, his grandfather Bai Jingchong doted on him so much. Even if he choose a spirit beast of another attribute, Bai Jingchong wouldn¡¯t mind much. Moreover, Bai Zian possessed the [Eye of Revelation], which could see through all things. The Bai family¡¯s unique training methods might not be particularly useful to him. But Bai Zian did want to obtain the Bai family¡¯s water-type resources. Beast growth, Beast Taming abilities, and various Beast Taming materials were all indispensable. Even with the ¡°omniscient¡± [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian still needed resources. So choosing a water-type spirit beast as his first pet was the best option for him. ¡°Grandpa¡¯s Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish laid eggs recently. If you like, you can contract the offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish directly.¡± Bai Jingchong said with a smile. As soon as he said this, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes lit up. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish was Bai Jingchong¡¯s trump card, a diamond-level pet beast with incredible strength. The offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish must have considerable potential and might even grow to diamond level. This was indeed a very good choice. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯d like to first understand and see various water-type spirit beasts before making a decision.¡± Bai Zian said after some contemplation. Although Bai Jingchong¡¯s suggestion was excellent, Bai Zian did not make an immediate decision. He had another idea. You must know that his Beastmaster talent, [Eye of Revelation], was very special and allowed him to see through a certain range of all things. So he wanted to personally observe the various water-type spirit beasts to see if he might discover something unexpected. ¡°Since you have your own thoughts, go ahead and take a look.¡± Bai Jingchong nodded and did not refuse. Because there was also a concept of compatibility between a Beast Tamer and their pet beast. Having a pet beast with a high level of compatibility could yield twice the results with half the effort. With this thought, Bai Jingchong took Bai Zian to the spirit beast egg storage. As the door to the storage opened, a series of glass-like containers appeared before Bai Zian. Inside these glass containers, there were spirit beast eggs quietly growing under the nourishment of nutrient solutions. This was the Bai family¡¯s spirit beast egg storage. The Bai family was quite powerful, and besides Bai Jingchong¡¯s family, there were also some family retainers. For example, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, who accompanied Bai Zian and were responsible for his protection. The Bai family not only raised them but also prepared spirit beast eggs and Beast Tamer resources for them, which was the reason they are where they are now. The Bai family¡¯s spirit beast library served not only the Bai family but also handled matters related to the pet beast contracts of the retainers. With this in mind, Bai Zian walked up to the containers and began to inspect them one by one. Chapter 13 - A White-Scaled Fish With Dual-Talents, the Offspring of a Diamond Spirit Beast! Chapter 13 A White-Scaled Fish With Dual-Talents, the Offspring of a Diamond Spirit Beast! [Species]: Golden Velvet Fish (Water Type)[Talent]: Water Storage (D)[Qualification]: Intermediate Silver[Skill]: Water Flow (Green) ¡­ [Species]: White Armor Fish (Water Type)[Talent]: Water Flow Acceleration (C)[Qualification]: Top Silver[Skills]: Water Gun Impact (Green), Water Flow (White) ¡­ Bai Zian walked slowly past each spirit beast egg, scanning them with his eyes. Under the influence of the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian could instantly see detailed information about each spirit beast egg. However, the more he looked, the more dissatisfied he became. To be honest, the quality of the spirit beast eggs in the Bai family¡¯s storage was already quite good. Even the lowest-quality spirit beast eggs could grow to the level of beginner Silver. Don¡¯t underestimate Silver spirit beasts. In the outside world, they were already considered excellent pets. If they were put on the market, they would likely be snapped up quickly. After all, a Silver-level Beast Tamer could already be hired as a county lord in some small towns. However, this was to be expected. The spirit beast eggs in the Bai family¡¯s storage were meant for family disciples and retainers, so their quality naturally couldn¡¯t be too low. Some of the better spirit beast eggs could even grow to the Gold level. But Bai Zian was still not satisfied. For him, Gold-level potential was still far from enough. He hoped to find something even better, but it seemed that his desire for a bargain might not be fulfilled. Reluctantly, Bai Zian decided to check the offspring of Bai Jingchong¡¯s Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. With this thought, Bai Zian followed Bai Jingchong out of the spirit beast egg storage and into the lake behind the villa. This was where Bai Jingchong¡¯s pet, the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, lived. At Bai Jingchong¡¯s call, a massive figure as grand as a dragon emerged from the depths of the lake and appeared before Bai Zian. With a dominating presence exceeding 10 meters, its crimson spiritual eyes, and golden-scaled body looked like a dragon, exuding an astonishing aura. This was Bai Jingchong¡¯s ace, the diamond-level Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. [Species]: Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish (Water Type)[Realm]: Top Diamond[Talent]: Water Flow Explosion (S)[Qualification]: Top Diamond (Damaged Origin)[Skills]: Water Flow Explosion (Purple), Water Arrow Barrage (Blue), Torrential Waves (Blue)[Description]: Exceptional talent. If not for damaged origin, it would have a certain chance to cross the Dragon Gate and evolve into a Flood Dragon, achieving Purple Crystal-level spirit beast. As Bai Zian saw the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, the [Eye of Revelation] activated instinctively. The information about the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish immediately appeared before Bai Zian. Bai Zian was somewhat surprised. ¡°Damaged origin, what exactly has Grandpa been through to make his pet beast end up like this?¡± Bai Zian wondered. From the data on the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, Bai Zian inferred that his grandfather must have had some unusual experiences. However, since Bai Jingchong had never mentioned these matters in front of him, Bai Zian chose not to say more. ¡°Old buddy, Xiao An has successfully awakened his Beast Tamer talent. I hope you can bring out your children¡­¡± Bai Jingchong quickly said, stating his intentions. In response, the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish let out a soft sound of agreement. Soon, two spirit beast eggs appeared before Bai Zian. The first egg was as large as a football and looked very impressive. The second egg, however, looked quite shriveled, smaller than the first one, and its life force seemed weaker, as if it were malnourished. Without hesitation, Bai Zian used the [Eye of Revelation] to check the conditions of these two spirit beast eggs. [Species]: White Scale Fish (Water Type)[Talent]: Water Flow Rupture (A)[Qualification]: Beginner Diamond[Skills]: Water Flow Rupture (Blue), Water Gun Impact (Green), Foam Layer (Green) The initial form of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish was indeed the White Scale Fish. Thus, the spirit beast eggs laid by the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish were naturally White Scale Fish eggs. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, the eggs of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish had quite good qualifications. The larger egg could even grow to beginner Diamond level. This was very close to its mother and was definitely an excellent spirit beast egg. Yet, Bai Zian¡¯s attention was drawn to the second egg, the smaller and shriveled one. [Species]: White Scale Fish (Water Type)[Talent]: Flow Control Speed (S), Water Flow Rupture (A)[Qualification]: Top Purple Crystal[Skills]: Water Control Speed (Purple), Water Flow Rupture (Blue), Water Gun Impact (Green), Foam Layer (Green)[Description]: Naturally has dual talents, exceptional qualification, but due to excessive qualification and high energy consumption, it has become malnourished and is at risk of life. ¡°Hiss. It actually has two talents, and one of them is an S-level talent. Is this still the offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish?¡± ¡°This talent is a bit too exaggerated.¡± Bai Zian¡¯s pupils contracted, and he was momentarily speechless. He hadn¡¯t expected that among the offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, there would be such an exceptionally talented one. Bai Zian hadn¡¯t expected such a prodigious talent among the offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. He was sure that even if he continued searching, Even if he expanded his search to the entire Bai Lin City or the whole Ten Thousand Spider Nest world, He likely wouldn¡¯t find a water-type spirit beast cub with better qualifications than this White Scale Fish egg. If properly nurtured, it could yield great results. However, the reason why this spirit beast egg was so exceptional was that it requires far more life energy than its siblings. This not only hadn¡¯t benefited it but had also been a significant burden, leading to malnutrition and weak life force. After all, the energy in the spirit beast egg was insufficient for its growth and development. But this wasn¡¯t a problem for Bai Zian. With the Bai family¡¯s resources, supplementing the required life energy for this White Scale Fish egg was quite simple. With this in mind, Bai Zian had already made up his mind. He decided to contract this White Scale Fish egg with dual talents. Chapter 14 - The Gratitude of the Red-Eyed Golden Fish, the First Contracted Pet Is Confirmed! Chapter 14 The Gratitude of the Red-Eyed Golden Fish, the First Contracted Pet Is Confirmed!¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ve made up my mind. I want this spirit beast egg.¡± With his decision made, Bai Zian pointed to the shriveled White Scale Fish spirit beast egg. Upon hearing this, both Bai Jingchong and the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish were stunned. To be honest, it was expected that Bai Zian would choose the offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. After all, among the entire Ten Thousand Spider Nest secret realm, there were very few water-type spirit beasts superior to the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. Considering the name of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest secret realm, it was a world dominated by spider-type spirit beasts. Although there were water-type spirit beasts, they were certainly not numerous. Bai Zian¡¯s best choice was naturally the diamond-level offspring of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. However, it was apparent to anyone that the egg Bai Zian was pointing at had significant issues. It was shriveled, dull, and had weak vitality. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was clear that it had congenital defects, poor development, and might even struggle to hatch. In the harsh wild, such a spirit beast egg would be the first to be discarded. Unexpectedly, Bai Zian had his eye on this particular egg. Bai Jingchong¡¯s first reaction was to disallow it. Even though it might hurt the feelings of his partner, the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, he wanted to persuade Bai Zian. He did not want Bai Zian¡¯s initial pet to be a defective one. ¡°Grandpa, my intuition tells me this is the most suitable companion for me.¡± Bai Zian seemed to have seen through Bai Jingchong¡¯s thoughts and quickly spoke up. Hearing this, Bai Jingchong was momentarily stunned. If this was Bai Zian¡¯s intuition, it changed the situation. After all, Bai Zian¡¯s Beast Tamer talent was the S-level [Super Intuition]. This talent was inherently about intuition and foresight. Since Bai Zian felt this spirit beast egg was suitable for him, It likely meant there was truth to it. This special spirit beast egg might provide Bai Zian with unexpected benefits. So, Bai Jingchong hesitated. ¡°All right, since it¡¯s your decision, Grandpa won¡¯t stop you.¡± ¡°However, before that, you need to get the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish¡¯s consent.¡± Bai Jingchong nodded slowly and spoke. After careful consideration, he agreed. There was no other reason; he had confidence in Bai Zian¡¯s Beast Tamer talent and his mutated S-level talent [Super Intuition]. Historically, mutated talents were extraordinary. Since Bai Zian had the same talent, it surely had its remarkable aspects. Thus, he wouldn¡¯t interfere much with Bai Zian¡¯s decision. As for the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, it wouldn¡¯t refuse either. Although its child was born with defects, it was still its child. It was a great thing that Bai Zian wanted to contract its child. The Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish was very grateful to Bai Zian. So, the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish slightly nodded and pushed the White Scale Fish egg toward Bai Zian to show its attitude. Moreover, the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish even plucked a scale from its lower abdomen and presented it to Bai Zian. ¡°This is¡­..¡± Bai Jingchong glanced at the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, seemingly surprised, but ultimately fell silent and said nothing more. As for Bai Zian, his attention was fully focused on the scale. It was a purple-golden scale, half gold and half purple, looking quite mystical. Meanwhile, the [Eye of Revelation] activated, and a description appeared on the scale. [Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish Main Scale]: One of the origin scales of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. If it completely transforms into purple, it can evolve into a Reverse Scale and transform into a Flood Dragon.[Effect]: Contains the origin power of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. Can enhance the origin of water-type spirit beasts and increase the effectiveness of water-type skills by 10% when carried by a water-type spirit beast. ¡°Such a thing! The Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish actually gave me such a precious item.¡± ¡°It seems the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish is truly grateful for me taking its child.¡± Bai Zian pondered for a moment and understood. This was likely a thank-you gift from the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. To thank Bai Zian for taking its child. Because with Bai Zian¡¯s nurturing, its child might have a chance to survive and even grow. For this, Bai Zian was very pleased. He realized that this Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale might provide significant help. The White Scale Fish egg¡¯s congenital defects were due to a lack of life energy and origin power. This main scale from the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish could precisely help remedy these deficiencies. This was a huge surprise for Bai Zian. So, Bai Zian happily accepted it without any hesitation. After a while, Bai Zian returned to the villa with the White Scale Fish egg and the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale. Then, Bai Zian went straight to his room to start preparing to nourish the spirit beast egg. As for how to use the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale to nurture the White Scale Fish egg? This was not difficult for Bai Zian. With the guidance from [Eye of Revelation], As soon as Bai Zian had questions, he immediately received answers. ¡°Attach the White Scale Fish egg to the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale, and use a special nutrient solution made from materials like Heart-Entwining Flower leaves. This will allow the White Scale Fish egg to absorb the origin power of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale in the shortest time possible¡­¡± To help the White Scale Fish egg better absorb the origin power of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale, a special nutrient solution was needed. This was not a problem for Bai Zian. In fact, Bai Zian didn¡¯t need to do much. He only needed to give instructions, and the family¡¯s cultivators would prepare the nutrient solution and deliver it to Bai Zian. Soon, all preparations were complete, and the White Scale Fish egg began absorbing the origin power of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish main scale. According to the guidance from [Eye of Revelation], this process would take about three days. For the next few days, Bai Zian only needed to wait patiently. Though Bai Zian was somewhat impatient, he had no choice but to wait. Quickly, the three days passed. At this time, the White Scale Fish egg had undergone significant changes. The previously shriveled egg had now completely remedied its defects and even grown to the size of a basketball, far surpassing the other White Scale Fish egg. Moreover, Bai Zian could feel that the vitality of the White Scale Fish egg had become extraordinary. Chapter 15 - Awakening a New S-Level Talent, a White-Scaled Fish With King-Level Potential! Chapter 15 Awakening a New S-Level Talent, a White-Scaled Fish With King-Level Potential! A strong life force emanated from the White Scale Fish spirit beast egg. It seemed the small life inside the egg was eager to hatch and enter the world. It could be said that the White Scale Fish was ready for a contract. However, Bai Zian was still slightly concerned and used [Eye of Revelation] to check the White Scale Fish egg¡¯s condition again. [Species]: White Scale Fish (Water Type)[Talent]: Flow Control Speed (S), Water Flow Burst (A)[Qualification]: Top-Level Purple Crystal[Skills]: Rapid Water Control (Purple), Water Flow Burst (Blue), Water Gun Impact (Green), Foam Layer (Green)[Description]: Naturally possesses dual talents with extraordinary qualifications. Once fully grown, it will surpass its mother. The White Scale Fish egg¡¯s condition had not changed much from before. The only difference was that the description of the White Scale Fish had changed and no longer mentioned congenital defects. This indicated that the defects in the White Scale Fish egg had completely disappeared, and it had become the healthiest and most perfect state. With this, Bai Zian finally felt relieved and prepared to contract the White Scale Fish. The method of contracting a spirit beast¡¯s offspring was not difficult. One could either directly contract the spirit beast egg or wait until the spirit beast hatches and then contract it. Each method had its advantages and disadvantages. Contracting the spirit beast egg directly would establish a bond before it hatches, which could enhance the understanding between the spirit beast and the owner. However, due to the uncertainty of the spirit beast egg, there was a chance of contracting a defective spirit beast. It¡¯s akin to opening a blind box¡ªbefore it hatches, no one can guarantee with certainty that the egg is flawless. On the other hand, waiting until the spirit beast hatches before contracting can ensure the health of the spirit beast, guaranteeing that it will not have obvious defects. However, the level of understanding will not be as high as with the first method. These were the pros and cons of the two methods. Most people choose the second method, as they could not afford the risk, given that the first pet was crucial for their future development. If the first pet has issues, it could cause problems down the line. However, Bai Zian did not have such worries. Because his [Eye of Revelation] could see through everything, no problem could escape his notice. Thus, Bai Zian had no hesitation and directly used the first method. The power of his Beast Tamer talent emitted an invisible contract that slowly settled on the White Scale Fish egg. As time passed, the aura of the spirit beast egg gradually changed. At a certain moment, Bai Zian felt that his aura and the White Scale Fish egg¡¯s aura were completely connected. Bai Zian could also sense the emotions of the White Scale Fish. Moreover, he could place the White Scale Fish egg into the Mythical Beast Space. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This indicated that the contract was successful. For this, Bai Zian was very pleased. The successful contract meant that he had officially become a Beast Tamer. The path of a Beast Tamer was now opening up to him. Naturally, Bai Zian was very delighted. ¡°By the way, I almost forgot about that. Before you hatch, let me give you an opportunity.¡± Bai Zian¡¯s mind flashed, and he remembered something. His Mythical Beast Space had a very special additional effect. Especially the third additional effect, which might even awaken the spirit beast¡¯s hidden talents. Thinking of this, Bai Zian waved his hand and directly placed the White Scale Fish egg into the Mythical Beast Space. The moment the White Scale Fish egg entered the Mythical Beast Space, the [Eye of Revelation] provided another divine revelation. [Your pet, the White Scale Fish, has triggered the Mythical Beastmaster Space¡¯s additional effect, awakening a new talent: Yinming Power (S)] ¡°A new S-level talent, great! My White Scale Fish is indeed extraordinary by nature.¡± Bai Zian was overjoyed upon seeing this news. Although he had long guessed that with the White Scale Fish¡¯s qualifications, the likelihood of awakening a new talent was high, he never expected that the new talent would be an S-level talent. With this, the White Scale Fish not only became a triple-talent pet but also had two S-level talents. This was incredibly exceptional. Bai Zian was ecstatic and couldn¡¯t help but check the White Scale Fish¡¯s information. [Species]: White Scale Fish (Water Type)[Talent]: Flow Control Speed (S), Yinming Power (S), Water Flow Burst (A)[Qualification]: Intermediate King Level[Skills]: Rapid Water Control (Purple), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple), Water Flow Burst (Blue), Water Gun Impact (Green), Foam Layer (Green) ¡°The White Scale Fish¡¯s qualification has changed from Top-Level Purple Crystal to Intermediate King Level. This is fantastic.¡± Seeing the White Scale Fish¡¯s information, Bai Zian was very pleased. He did not expect that after gaining a new talent, the White Scale Fish¡¯s qualification would also improve. This meant that if the White Scale Fish grew smoothly, it could potentially become a King-level spirit beast. What is a King-level spirit beast? It is the king among beasts, a true monarch-level existence. In some advanced secret realms, King-level spirit beasts are rulers of their domains. This shows the terrifying nature of King-level spirit beasts. Now, the White Scale Fish¡¯s potential had reached this level. For this, Bai Zian was extremely excited. After a while, Bai Zian calmed his excitement and continued to learn about the White Scale Fish¡¯s condition. ¡°Besides the Yinming Power talent, there is also a new purple skill: Yin Water Corrosion.¡± When looking at the skill section, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes lit up. He did not expect that the White Scale Fish would gain a new skill, and it was a purple skill. Purple skills were advanced skills. Even the White Scale Fish¡¯s mother, the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, only had one purple skill. This highlights the rarity of purple skills. Yet, the White Scale Fish, which successfully awakened a new talent, gained another purple skill. This should be a supplementary skill of the S-level talent [Yinming Power]. For Bai Zian, this was undoubtedly a good thing. With this, the White Scale Fish now possessed two purple skills. This also caused the White Scale Fish¡¯s qualifications to increase again. The better the White Scale Fish¡¯s qualifications, the higher its growth potential, and consequently, Bai Zian¡¯s growth potential would also be higher. After a while, Bai Zian set aside this matter and began to help the White Scale Fish with hatching. After all, he had successfully contracted the White Scale Fish, and the next step was to have it hatch. Chapter 16 - Nine Evolutions, the Legendary Beast Kunpeng! Chapter 16 Nine Evolutions, the Legendary Beast Kunpeng!Bai Lin City In the villa of the City Lord¡¯s residence, within the spirit fish nursery pool. A small silver-white fish swam slowly. Wherever this white fish swam, the other spirit fish fry were terrified. They scattered in all directions, as if encountering some horrifying creature. However, the white fish paid no attention and continued to swim leisurely, like an arrogant king surveying its domain. This was Bai Zian¡¯s first pet, the White Scale Fish. Under Bai Zian¡¯s incubation, the White Scale Fish successfully hatched and entered the world. The Bai family¡¯s spirit fish breeding domain was the best in Bai Lin City. Therefore, after the White Scale Fish fry was born, Bai Zian placed it in the spirit fish nursery pool, leading to the scene before him. However, Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish was somewhat different from ordinary White Scale Fish. Firstly, in terms of size. Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish was much larger than usual White Scale Fish, and looked more ferocious. Secondly, while ordinary White Scale Fish have silver-white eyes, Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish had purple-golden eyes, appearing very mystical. Bai Zian vaguely guessed why there was such a change. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It might be due to the main scale of the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish or the exceptional talent of the White Scale Fish. But this did not seem to be a bad thing. ¡°Yin Yin~¡± The White Scale Fish tilted its head slightly, rubbing against Bai Zian¡¯s hand, looking very affectionate. To this, Bai Zian smiled lightly and instructed the servant to bring the White Scale Fish fry¡¯s food and began feeding it. While feeding the White Scale Fish, Bai Zian thought about the next steps. Now that the White Scale Fish had successfully hatched, Bai Zian needed to start training it. In truth, at the beginning, a spirit beast could not be trained. Because they have just been born and have not yet adapted to the external environment. Generally, they need some time to adapt. Only after they are fully adapted to the world can training begin. However, Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish did not need such an adaptation period. Because Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish was exceptionally strong. Although it had just been born, its size and vitality far exceeded other newborn spirit beasts, completely bypassing the adaptation period. Therefore, starting training immediately was also feasible. Perhaps this was the special nature of King-level potential, born to be a king, fearless. However, Bai Zian was pondering something else. ¡°What direction should I develop the White Scale Fish towards?¡± Bai Zian pondered over the development direction of the White Scale Fish. To be honest, the Bai family had deep research on water-type spirit beasts. Especially the White Scale Fish clan, which was the most familiar water-type spirit beast to the Bai family. This was because the first pet of Bai Jingchong, Bai Zian¡¯s grandfather, was the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish evolved from the White Scale Fish. The Bai family had a complete set of evolution secrets for the White Scale Fish. These secrets allowed the White Scale Fish to evolve all the way to the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish! Bai Zian¡¯s father, Bai Chengzhi¡¯s pet, the Red-Eyed Silver-Striped Fish, was cultivated according to Bai Jingchong¡¯s evolution secrets. If Bai Chengzhi¡¯s Red-Eyed Silver-Striped Fish could evolve once more, it could become a Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish, just like Bai Jingchong¡¯s pet. Similarly, Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish could be easily cultivated into a Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish using Bai Jingchong¡¯s evolution secrets. This was a passing down of legacy. However, Bai Zian was somewhat hesitant. Because Bai Jingchong¡¯s Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish was only a Diamond-level spirit beast. Even if its origin was intact, it could only grow to the Purple Crystal level. But Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish was very special, with King-level potential. This meant that Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish could potentially surpass Bai Jingchong¡¯s Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish. Therefore, Bai Jingchong¡¯s evolution secrets might not be very suitable for Bai Zian. ¡°I¡¯ve decided. I will try new evolution secrets to help the White Scale Fish reach a higher level.¡± After some thought, Bai Zian had made up his mind, and his eyes became determined. As for the method to cultivate the White Scale Fish to a higher realm, Bai Zian did not have it yet, but he had a good solution. After all, his [Eye of Revelation] talent was almost ¡°omniscient.¡± Getting the evolution secrets for the White Scale Fish was not difficult. Thinking of this, Bai Zian activated [Eye of Revelation] and pondered the evolution secrets for the White Scale Fish. [You are researching the evolution method of the White Scale Fish and have received a divine revelation.].[Evolution Option 1: Evolve into the Red-Eyed Silver-Striped Fish (Golden Level) after two evolutions.].[Evolution Option 2: Evolve into the Red-Eyed Golden-Striped Fish (Diamond Level) after three evolutions.].[¡­¡­.].[Evolution Option N: After nine evolutions, evolve from fish to whale, from whale to Kun, and finally into the Nine Heavens Kunpeng* (Divine Level).]. As Bai Zian studied, he fully understood the function of [Eye of Revelation]. If he wanted to investigate specific ¡°knowledge,¡± such as the cultivation method for the White Scale Fish, Bai Zian only needed to quietly ponder the question while [Eye of Revelation] was activated. Then [Eye of Revelation] would automatically give the corresponding answer. For this reason, Bai Zian successfully obtained the cultivation methods for the White Scale Fish. However, one point exceeded Bai Zian¡¯s expectations: there were many more cultivation methods than he had imagined. Moreover, even the Bai family¡¯s secret methods were revealed to Bai Zian. Bai Zian felt a sense of awe. The capabilities of this ability far exceeded his expectations. As long as it appeared before Bai Zian, there seemed to be no secrets left in the world. Because [Eye of Revelation]¡¯s divine revelation seemed to have no limitations, as long as Bai Zian had a question in mind, he could obtain the corresponding answer. After his moment of reflection, Bai Zian focused and began to review the methods. When Bai Zian reached the last evolution method, his eyes immediately brightened. [Evolution Option N: After nine evolutions, evolve from fish to whale, from whale to Kun, and finally into the Nine Heavens Kunpeng (Divine Level).]. ¡°The White Scale Fish can actually evolve to the Divine Level, and even into the Kunpeng from mythological legends.¡± Bai Zian took a deep breath, feeling immensely shocked. Because this far exceeded his initial expectations. Initially, Bai Zian thought it would be excellent if the White Scale Fish could evolve to King Level and become a true king spirit beast. Unexpectedly, [Eye of Revelation] gave him a tremendous surprise. Chapter 17 - A World-Destroying God, the Special Features of the White-Scaled Fish! Chapter 17 A World-Destroying God, the Special Features of the White-Scaled Fish! The power and astonishment of divine-level spirit beasts need no further elaboration. They were referred to as ¡°gods¡±, which was the best description. According to Bai Zian¡¯s readings from ancient texts. A divine-level spirit beast could even destroy an entire world with a single move. Although Bai Zian was unclear whether this so-called world referred to a secret realm or a origin world like Origin Star. Just from this description alone, one could imagine how exaggerated the power of a divine-level being was. On the other hand, Bai Zian had only once encountered something related to divine-level beings over the years. That was the projection of the Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life seen during the Awakening Ceremony. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But that was the foundation of the entire Jiuzhou Federation, the cornerstone of Jiuzhou Federation¡¯s beast tamer civilization. Just a single seed created a brilliant beast tamer civilization. This showed just how astonishing a divine-level existence was. Now, Bai Zian encountered something related to divinity again, but this matter was related to himself. His pet, the White Scale Fish, could actually evolve into a divine-level Kunpeng through evolution secrets. What is a Kunpeng? It transforms into a Kun in the sea and a Peng in the sky. In legends, it is a god that rules both the sea and the sky. Moreover, the Kun¡¯s size is unknown but reaches thousands of miles, and the Peng¡¯s back is also unknown but spans thousands of miles. It is a gigantic creature. Its size exceeds that of some small secret realms, reaching an unimaginable level. In other words, the legendary Kunpeng was a terrifying existence comparable to a world. Unexpectedly, the evolution method provided by [Eye of Revelation] could evolve to the level of Kunpeng. Such a thing was beyond Bai Zian¡¯s wildest imagination. But Bai Zian was sure that the divine revelation from [Eye of Revelation] was never wrong. This meant that his White Scale Fish indeed had the potential to reach this level. This made Bai Zian extremely excited. After a while, Bai Zian calmed down and began to review the specific cultivation methods. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. This method involves multiple evolutions to gradually change the bloodline, bringing it closer to Kunpeng step by step, and finally transforming into a true Kunpeng.¡± After some time, Bai Zian slowly articulated his thoughts. Having understood the evolution secret for transforming into a Kunpeng, Bai Zian had a general grasp. It involved multiple evolutions to gradually change the bloodline of the White Scale Fish, evolving it into Kunpeng. Firstly, Bai Zian needed to evolve the small fish-like White Scale Fish into a large fish-like Whale Spirit Beast. Secondly, from the large fish-like Whale Spirit Beast, evolve into the legendary Kun Fish form. Finally, the Kun Fish would transform into the soaring Peng Bird form. This was the evolution method from White Scale Fish to Kunpeng. Each form required three evolutions. In total, there were nine evolutions. This was the origin of the nine evolutions to become Kunpeng. As for the difficulty of the evolution process, it was needless to say, it must be of the highest difficulty. But only in this way could one evolve into a true Kunpeng. With this in mind, Bai Zian had already made up his mind. Since he was to cultivate the White Scale Fish, he naturally needed to choose the best cultivation method. Thus, Bai Zian chose this evolution secret. ¡°By the way, can every White Scale Fish evolve into the divine beast Kunpeng?¡± Bai Zian suddenly had an insight, as if he realized something. Bai Zian was curious. This was a significant doubt for Bai Zian. Curious, Bai Zian used [Eye of Revelation] to investigate this matter. Soon, Bai Zian found the answer. It was not that the White Scale Fish clan was special, but that his pet White Scale Fish was exceptional. In fact, this was quite obvious. Although spirit beasts could evolve, there were various limitations. The resources required for evolution and the ¡°qualification¡± for evolution were factors to consider. Yes, spirit beasts also needed ¡°qualification¡± for evolution, or rather, potential or aptitude. This included aspects like talent, aptitude, and skills. Only when the potential reaches the requirement can there be a chance to evolve to a higher level. Otherwise, beast tamers would not go to great lengths to seek pets with higher qualifications. Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish had the potential to evolve into Kunpeng entirely because of its astonishing potential. Indeed, Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish was very special, possessing unprecedented triple talents. It was born with two innate talents, and Bai Zian helped it awaken a hidden talent. Thus, the White Scale Fish became a rare triple-talent entity before its birth. Moreover, among the three talents of the White Scale Fish, two were S-level talents. Furthermore, Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish had two advanced purple skills and many other skills. This remarkable potential was what made his White Scale Fish qualified to evolve into Kunpeng. This was the truth of the matter. ¡°Indeed, my White Scale Fish is the most special. Aside from me, no other White Scale Fish beast masters have the possibility of becoming Kunpeng beast masters.¡± A hint of joy appeared in Bai Zian¡¯s eyes. The value of spirit beasts, aside from their power, was also significantly influenced by their rarity. Because his White Scale Fish was special, Bai Zian was very likely to become the only beast tamer with a Kunpeng. This was certainly something worth being happy about for Bai Zian. Chapter 18 - The First Outdoor Experience, Candlefire Spider in Candlefire City! Chapter 18 The First Outdoor Experience, Candlefire Spider in Candlefire City!Understanding the preciousness of his White Scale Fish and confirming its evolution path, Bai Zian set aside this matter. Next, Bai Zian prepared to start cultivating the White Scale Fish. ¡°Currently, what I need to do is to help the White Scale Fish grow and prepare the materials needed for evolution.¡± ¡°Once the White Scale Fish breaks through to the Black Iron level, I¡¯ll have it complete the first evolution as well.¡± Combining the cultivation methods indicated by Heaven¡¯s Insight, Bai Zian thought about the first stage of cultivating the White Scale Fish. The evolution materials needed for the White Scale Fish were not difficult for Bai Zian to obtain. After all, these were just initial evolution materials, not rare or hard-to-find items. The only relatively rare material was the heart of the White Shadow Water Whale, which was somewhat less common. After all, adult White Shadow Water Whales were junior gold-level spirit beasts and lived in the sea, making them hard to find on land. However, Bai Zian was not worried about this. As he had mentioned before, the Bai family was a water-type pet beast family, with a stable source of water-type spirit beasts and the growth resources required by water-type spirit beasts. Coincidentally, the Bai family¡¯s treasury had the heart of the White Shadow Water Whale that Bai Zian needed. Previously, when Bai Zian went to the treasury to retrieve the Spirit Jade Crystal for constructing the Beast Tamer Space, he had seen this treasure. To be precise, the treasury contained materials from various organs of the White Shadow Water Whale. If Bai Zian was not mistaken, these must have been obtained by his grandfather Bai Jingchong or his father Bai Chengzhi, who had hunted White Shadow Water Whales. Thus, Bai Zian didn¡¯t need to worry about the evolution materials. What he needed to do now was to train the White Scale Fish to reach the Black Iron level. ¡°Sister Bai Zhi, are you there?¡± With this thought, Bai Zian summoned the Bai family¡¯s servant. With Bai Zian¡¯s summon, a striking woman in her mid-twenties with white hair appeared before him. The only notable feature was that this woman had a cold demeanor, giving off the vibe of an ice-cold beauty. She was one of the two protectors sent by Bai Jingchong to guard Bai Zian, a gold-level Beast Tamer. To be honest, both of the protectors sent by Bai Jingchong were exceptional. Both were in their twenties but had already reached the rank of gold Beast Tamers. Such qualifications surpassed most Beast Tamers. In the outside world, they would be considered top-notch talents. With proper training, they might even reach diamond-level Beast Tamers. In other words, they both had the potential to become Bai Jingchong¡¯s left and right hand. However, Bai Jingchong had them protect Bai Zian. This showed how much Bai Jingchong valued Bai Zian. ¡°Sister Bai Zhi, I need to find a wild area to train the White Scale Fish, with spirit beasts of a lower level, preferably fire or earth type, and ideally of low strength¡­¡± Bai Zian slowly explained his requirements. For a spirit beast to level up, several factors were involved: combat, medicinal materials, cultivation methods, and so on. These were not difficult for Bai Zian. Because the Bai family had everything needed for water-type spirit beasts. Even for combat, Bai Zian could find suitable spirit beast opponents within the Bai family. After all, the Bai family raised a considerable number of water-type spirit beasts. However, Bai Zian did not plan to rely on the family for combat. Such battles would be meaningless; even if they could quickly level up, it would only make them sheltered flowers in a greenhouse. Bai Zian had high expectations for the White Scale Fish and did not want it to be a sheltered flower. Thus, training in the wild was essential. As for the specific location, Bai Zian only needed to state his requirements, and the family would select the most suitable training place for him. ¡°Master Zian, based on your requirements, one of the subsidiary cities of Bai Lin City, Candlefire City, fits your criteria¡­¡± The icy beauty Bai Zhi pondered briefly and provided an answer. The Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret Realm World had seven main cities. Each main city had seven subsidiary small cities that orbit around the main cities like satellites. This was the general structure of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret Realm World. Candlefire City, mentioned by Bai Zhi, was one of the seven subsidiary cities of Bai Lin City. Bai Zhi mentioned this small city because there was a small volcano nearby. In this volcano lived a type of fire-element spider spirit beast called the Candlefire Spider. As the name suggests, this spider spirit beast had a back resembling a candle. It was one of the more common spider spirit beast types in the Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret Realm World. However, the Candlefire Spider was not very powerful. Even as an adult, the Candlefire Spider was at most a low-tier nine-rank beast, with better qualifications reaching only Black Iron level. In the entire Wan Spider Nest Secret Realm World, it was considered a relatively weak spirit beast. For Bai Zian, this was a good training target. After all, the White Scale Fish was a water-type spirit beast, which was naturally strong against the fire-type Candlefire Spider. For Bai Zian, this was an excellent location. ¡°This place is good; we¡¯ll choose this location.¡± Bai Zian nodded slightly, making his decision. ¡°Yes, young master. I will arrange it now.¡± Bai Zhi nodded and prepared to make arrangements. Bai Zian¡¯s plans to go out for training also required some procedures. For example, preparing the necessary supplies, various medicines, and documents, and obtaining permission from Bai Jingchong or Bai Chengzhi. After all, they needed to consider Bai Zian¡¯s safety. Bai Zian was fully aware of these matters. So, he only expressed his thoughts, and whether he could go out depended on his grandfather and father. ¡°Zian wants to go out to train in Candlefire City?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it too soon? His contracted pet, the White Scale Fish, has just been born, right?¡± Upon receiving the report from Bai Zhi, Bai Jingchong, who was handling official business, was somewhat surprised. He did not expect Bai Zian to want to go out for training so soon. However, Bai Jingchong had also seen Bai Zian¡¯s pet, the White Scale Fish, which appeared very remarkable. A bit unusual was acceptable. Furthermore, thinking of Bai Zian¡¯s special talent, Bai Jingchong had already made up his mind. ¡°It¡¯s fine, but Bai Zhi and Bai Shao must accompany Zian, and they must carry a locator so the family can track his location and avoid any accidents¡­¡± Bai Jingchong said quickly. He agreed to Bai Zian¡¯s plan to go out for training. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 19 - Feng Qianyus challenge, the Thousand Blade Centipede Train! Chapter 19 Feng Qianyu¡¯s challenge, the Thousand Blade Centipede Train!¡°Grandfather agreed? That¡¯s great.¡± Bai Zian¡¯s excitement was evident when he received the news that Bai Jingchong had agreed. As for Bai Jingchong¡¯s conditions, such as carrying a tracker, Bai Zian did not say much. After all, these precautions were for his safety, and how could he refuse? Once everything was prepared, Bai Zian was ready to leave the Bai family and head to Candlefire City. However, just as Bai Zian stepped out of the house, a tall woman with striking red hair blocked his path. ¡°I finally found you, Bai Zian. I thought you were too scared to see me?¡± ¡°Tell me, why did you leave so abruptly during the Awakening Ceremony? Our bet is not yet settled.¡± Feng Qianyu¡¯s voice was icy as she looked angrily at Bai Zian. Indeed, the woman confronting Bai Zian was Feng Qianyu, the eldest daughter of the Feng family. She was the rival who had made a bet with Bai Zian during the Awakening Ceremony and successfully awakened the S-class talent [Phoenix Flame]. Feng Qianyu had been searching for Bai Zian for several days. However, Bai Zian had been busy with constructing the Mythical Beast Space and contracting the White Scale Fish, completely ignoring external matters. As a result, Feng Qianyu had not been able to find him until today, when Bai Zian was about to leave. ¡°Little Phoenix, we both awakened S-class talents, so the bet ended in a draw. What more do you want?¡± Bai Zian looked at Feng Qianyu with a hint of exasperation. According to their bet, they should be even. Bai Zian had been unwilling to engage too much with Feng Qianyu to keep his secrets hidden. Yet, Feng Qianyu had come looking for him, persistent and unrelenting. ¡°True, we ended in a draw, but how can you leave without a word? Am I not even worthy of being taken seriously as your rival?¡± Feng Qianyu was irritated. She was not upset about the draw but about Bai Zian leaving without informing her. This implied that Bai Zian did not value their bet, and she seemed unworthy of being taken seriously. After all, she had always touted Bai Zian as her nemesis. But Bai Zian seemed to disregard her entirely. This was something Feng Qianyu, with her pride, found hard to tolerate. ¡°Little Phoenix, you must be idle if you have time for this.¡± Understanding the situation, Bai Zian felt a bit speechless. This girl¡¯s temperament was indeed quite troublesome. If it weren¡¯t for the involvement of their elders, he would have seriously considered putting this arrogant girl in her place. ¡°Bai Zian, the previous bet is void. I want to bet with you again.¡± Feng Qianyu said firmly, looking at Bai Zian with seriousness. ¡°Another bet? What are the terms?¡± Bai Zian asked casually, not stopping Feng Qianyu. He was curious to see what Feng Qianyu had in mind. ¡°It¡¯s simple. We¡¯ve both awakened Beast Tamer talents and are about to join the ranks of Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°So, let¡¯s use our Beast Taming abilities to settle this.¡± ¡°By the time school starts, we¡¯ll both have contracted spirit beasts.¡± ¡°So, after school starts, we¡¯ll have a battle with our contracted beasts.¡± ¡°As for the bet, it will be the same as before¡ªthe winner can command the loser to do one thing.¡± Feng Qianyu spoke quickly, laying out her thoughts without a pause, as if she had planned it in advance. ¡°Are you sure? The fire-type spirit beasts of the Feng family will find it difficult to handle the water-type spirit beasts of the Bai family.¡± Bai Zian looked at Feng Qianyu with surprise. He did not expect Feng Qianyu to propose such a challenge. The Feng family specialized in fire-type spirit beasts. If the Bai family was a water-type spirit beast family, then the Feng family was a fire-type spirit beast family. Moreover, Feng Qianyu¡¯s awakened talent [Phoenix Flame] was clearly related to fire. Bai Zian¡¯s water-type spirit beast would naturally have an advantage over Feng Qianyu¡¯s fire-type spirit beasts. So, Bai Zian was curious about what confidence Feng Qianyu had to challenge him. ¡°So what? Or are you afraid?¡± Feng Qianyu said proudly, seemingly indifferent to the matter. In fact, she continued to provoke Bai Zian. ¡°Interesting. Little Phoenix, I accept this bet.¡± Bai Zian said with a smile, looking at Feng Qianyu. To be honest, although Feng Qianyu was arrogant, she was not foolish. Her willingness to issue such a challenge meant she had her own cards to play. But Bai Zian had no reason to fear. After all, the quality of his White Scale Fish was exceptionally high. Bai Zian was confident that no matter what Feng Qianyu¡¯s trump card was, it could not match up to the White Scale Fish. Thus, he had no reason to worry. For this reason, Bai Zian agreed to the challenge. Thus, Bai Zian and Feng Qianyu¡¯s second bet was established. ¡°Great, it¡¯s settled then.¡± ¡°Just wait. I will definitely defeat you.¡± Feng Qianyu¡¯s face showed undeniable joy. She seemed to envision herself triumphantly defeating Bai Zian and making him cry. Afterward, Feng Qianyu left with her bodyguards, full of joy. Bai Zian smiled wryly. Although Little Phoenix was proud, her emotions were easy to read. Such people might cause trouble sometimes, but they were also easier to handle. With that settled, Bai Zian prepared to set off again. Though interrupted by Little Phoenix, he did not forget the purpose of his trip. With this thought, Bai Zian resumed his journey to Candlefire City. Although Candlefire City was a subsidiary city of Bai Lin City, there was still a considerable distance between them. To travel from Bai Lin City to Candlefire City, one needed to use a unique transportation tool for humans, called the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train. The reason was simple: in this Beast Tamer world, the wilds were always dangerous. Typically, apart from Beast Master teams on hunting missions, humans rarely roamed the wilds. The wilderness belonged to spirit beasts. Countless spirit beasts ravaged the wilds, making it impossible for humans to establish facilities there. Therefore, humans needed special transportation tools like the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train to travel between cities. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 20 - A Comprehensive Experience, a True World of Beast Control! Chapter 20 A Comprehensive Experience, a True World of Beast Control!The Thousand-Blade Centipede Train originated from a spiritual beast called the Thousand-Blade Centipede. This type of spiritual beast belongs to the metal-element class. Its body is as hard as steel, giving it extremely high defense. Additionally, the Thousand-Blade Centipede¡¯s body is enormous, with each segment the size of a room, and its full length has hundreds of segments. Humans used metal life technology to transform the Thousand-Blade Centipede into a metallic life form and developed compartments out of its segments, creating a type of transportation tool for the wasteland. Because of the special nature of the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train, people need to buy tickets in advance to ride it. Not only are the tickets expensive, but the process also involves certain procedures, making it somewhat cumbersome. However, Bai Zian didn¡¯t need to worry about these things, as Bai Zhi had arranged everything for him early on. When Bai Zian arrived at the station, the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train headed for Candlefire City had just arrived. Bai Zian and his group boarded the train and set off toward Candlefire City. But after entering the compartment, Bai Zian was left speechless. Truth be told, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t worried at all about the safety of the journey. The Thousand-Blade Centipede Train from Bai Lin City was originally a gold-level Thousand-Blade Centipede. The aura of a gold-level beast was intimidating to wild spiritual beasts. Rarely would wild beasts dare provoke Bai Lin City¡¯s Thousand-Blade Centipede Train. For this reason, the trip to Candlefire City was unlikely to encounter any danger. What left Bai Zian speechless was that in the compartment, there were several boys and girls, around 17 or 18 years old, chatting and laughing as if they were out on a casual trip. Yes, he was actually sharing the compartment with other people. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Given Bai Zian¡¯s status, booking an entire compartment by himself would have been an easy task, and that had been his initial plan. After all, as the third generation of a beast tamer family, one should live up to that status. Although Bai Zian wasn¡¯t particularly arrogant, he wouldn¡¯t reject the resources available to him. But to his surprise, Bai Zhi had arranged for him to stay in a regular compartment shared with others. This left Bai Zian feeling somewhat helpless. He even went to Bai Zhi to check if there had been a mistake. However, when Bai Zian learned from Bai Zhi that this arrangement had been made by his grandfather, he was left without words. According to Bai Jingchong, this was an opportunity for Bai Zian to experience the outside world. After all, Bai Zian¡¯s trip this time was meant for training, so the process should be a comprehensive experience. Whether it was training his spiritual beasts or learning the ways of the world, all were part of the training. Thus, Bai Jingchong wouldn¡¯t give Bai Zian too many privileges during this process, only ensuring basic protection. In fact, Bai Jingchong even instructed Bai Zhi and Bai Shao not to follow Bai Zian openly, but instead to hide in the shadows and protect him secretly. This left Bai Zian at a loss for words. Still, he understood his grandfather¡¯s good intentions. His grandfather was worried that Bai Zian, being raised in a sheltered environment, might easily fall prey to wild beast tamers later on. However, this concern was unnecessary. Firstly, Bai Zian was not na?ve. With memories from two lifetimes, he was already quite mature. Secondly, with the [Eye of Revelation], any conspiracy or trickery within proximity would be revealed to him. This ability, the [Eye of Revelation], was truly domineering, almost akin to omniscience. Therefore, Bai Jingchong¡¯s concerns were unwarranted. Still, Bai Zian, understanding his grandfather¡¯s intentions, didn¡¯t argue and quietly returned to the compartment. After all, his grandfather¡¯s gesture was one of goodwill, and Bai Zian chose to accept it silently. Thus, the current scene unfolded before him. The lively chatter around him made it hard for Bai Zian to rest properly. However, from their conversations, Bai Zian learned a bit about their background. These young people were students from a high school for beast tamers in one of Bai Lin City¡¯s satellite cities, Mining Rock City. They had just finished their first year and were about to enter their second year. They were classmates who, during the break, were led by a teacher on a trip to Candlefire City for some training. Bai Zian wasn¡¯t particularly surprised by this, as it wasn¡¯t an uncommon occurrence. Many beast-taming high schools regularly arranged for their students to undergo practical training whenever there was an opportunity. As for their strength, Bai Zian activated his [Eye of Revelation] and quickly scanned them. [Species]: Stone Piercer (Earth element)[Stage]: Fifth Tier (Unranked)[Talent]: Stone Skin (F)[Potential]: Low Bronze[Skill]: Stone Piercing Thrust (White) ¡­ [Species]: Rock Armor Turtle (Earth element)[Stage]: Sixth Tier (Unranked)[Talent]: Rock Skin (E)[Potential]: High Bronze[Skill]: Rolling Stone (White) Well, these high school students¡¯ talents weren¡¯t anything special. Even if their spiritual beasts matured, they would only reach the Bronze level at best. For Bai Zian, this was relatively low. As for their current strength, it was even weaker, as they hadn¡¯t even reached the lowest ¡°unranked¡± tier. Spiritual beasts vary in strength. In terms of ranking, they are categorized into Unranked, Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Purple Crystal, King, Epic, Legendary, and Divine. Unranked referrs to immature spiritual beasts. Once matured, most spiritual beasts could at least reach the Black Iron level. However, some weaker spiritual beasts, such as the Candlefire Spider, might not even reach the Black Iron level due to poor potential. The unranked tier had nine sub-levels, often referred to as the Nine Tiers of Unranked. These Mining Rock High School students had spent their entire first year, but their spiritual beasts hadn¡¯t even reached the Black Iron level yet, which was rather ordinary. For this reason, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but sigh. However, this was the reality of the beast-taming world. Ordinary beast tamers found it incredibly difficult to obtain and train powerful spiritual beasts. People like Bai Zian, born into wealth and power with access to unlimited resources, were a rare exception. Bai Zian¡¯s luck had simply been exceptional¡ªhe had won life¡¯s race from the very start. Although he didn¡¯t have high expectations for these students¡¯ beast-taming abilities, he still scanned them with his [Eye of Revelation]. Chapter 21 - The Second Mysterious Talent, S-Level Talent [Luck Convergence]! Chapter 21 The Second Mysterious Talent, S-Level Talent [Luck Convergence]!Under the influence of the [Eye of Revelation], these high school students¡¯ information was laid bare. As expected, the beast-taming talent of these high schoolers from Mining Rock City was mostly between F and E rank. Only a few students had D-rank talent, and among them, those with D-rank talent subtly became the center of the group. What more could Bai Zian say about this? ¡°Huh, there¡¯s actually an S-rank talent?¡± Just as Bai Zian was about to withdraw his gaze, he noticed something unusual. It was a girl sitting silently in the last seat of the carriage, wearing an old school uniform. She didn¡¯t communicate with her classmates and appeared a bit withdrawn. However, her talent was somewhat special: [Luck Convergence Talent: S-rank Mystical Talent. It can accumulate others¡¯ good fortune and release it all at once when enough is collected.] ¡°An S-rank talent, and like me, it¡¯s also a Mystical talent, even related to luck.¡± ¡°This girl¡¯s potential seems astonishing.¡± Bai Zian¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. To be honest, this was only the second S-rank talent he had encountered¡ªthe first being the little phoenix Feng Qianyu. Of course, Bai Zian¡¯s own ¡°S-rank talent¡± didn¡¯t count. This alone highlighted the rarity of S-rank talents. It could be said that this girl was a genius among geniuses. More importantly, her talent belonged to the Mystical type, which Bai Zian considered even more precious. Bai Zian¡¯s Eye of Revelation was a Mystical talent, which showed the uniqueness of this type. The fact that her beast-taming talent was related to luck made it even more extraordinary. Luck was something intangible and elusive, but anything related to it was special. Bai Zian felt that if this talent were used properly, it could surpass even S-rank talents, perhaps reaching SS-rank. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This girl¡¯s potential far exceeded that of so-called genius beast tamers. Because of this, Bai Zian became deeply interested in her. However, the girl¡¯s situation didn¡¯t seem particularly good. Her classmates appeared to be intentionally or unintentionally distancing themselves from her. Moreover, awakening an S-rank talent should have caused a sensation in the surrounding cities or even the entire Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret Realm. Under normal circumstances, there was no way Bai Lin City wouldn¡¯t know about it. If Bai Zian¡¯s grandfather, Bai Jingchong, knew that such a genius had appeared in one of Bai Lin City¡¯s subsidiary towns, he would have immediately brought her to Bai Lin City for proper cultivation, rather than letting her continue to grow wild in Mining Rock City. Clearly, there were some secrets behind this matter, which piqued Bai Zian¡¯s interest even more. ¡°Hey, little brother, where are you from? Why are you traveling to Candlefire City alone?¡± ¡°Yeah, the wilderness is so dangerous. Even with the protection of the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train, aren¡¯t you scared of traveling by yourself?¡± As Bai Zian was pondering this, a female high school student couldn¡¯t help but strike up a conversation with him. It was inevitable, given Bai Zian¡¯s unique situation of traveling alone on the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train. Even though they were high school students, they needed teachers to accompany them. The most important reason, though, was Bai Zian¡¯s strikingly handsome appearance, which made them want to talk to him. After all, if they could become friends with Bai Zian or even get his contact information, that would be even better. Encouraged by this, they mustered the courage to approach him. In response, Bai Zian could only roll his eyes inwardly. ¡°Are they trying to chat, or is this just blatant flirting?¡± He never expected to be flirted with by a group of high school girls. Of course, Bai Zian had no intention of giving them his contact information. However, he didn¡¯t reject the opportunity to chat, as it gave him a chance to subtly inquire about the S-rank girl. Soon, all the girls surrounded Bai Zian, chattering away, while the male classmates were completely ignored, casting resentful glances at Bai Zian. Feeling both amused and helpless, Bai Zian chose to ignore them. ¡°Qiao Gubai, that¡¯s quite a nice name,¡± Bai Zian soon learned the name of the girl with the special talent. However, he didn¡¯t inquire further, as asking too many questions would expose his intentions. Meanwhile, the Thousand-Blade Centipede Train slowly arrived at the Candlefire City. Under the disappointed gazes of the girls, Bai Zian left the train station. ¡°Big sister Bai Shao, come out. I have something to ask you.¡± Once Bai Zian reached a secluded spot, he called out. A second later, a tall, purple-haired woman with an outstanding temperament appeared before him. This was Bai Zian¡¯s other protector, the gold-level beast tamer, Bai Shao. If Bai Zhi was the cold, ice queen type, then Bai Shao was a different kind of presence¡ªcheerful and full of heroic spirit, like a valiant female general. ¡°Xiao An, what do you need?¡± Bai Shao asked with a smile as she approached him. Unlike the strict Bai Zhi, Bai Shao was more open and friendly, treating Bai Zian like family and calling him ¡°Xiao An¡± affectionately, something he didn¡¯t mind at all. ¡°Sister Bai Shao, help me investigate someone named Qiao Gubai, a student from Mining Rock City¡¯s Beast Taming High School. This person is a bit special, and I need detailed information about her.¡± Bai Zian quickly explained his intentions. The reason he had called Bai Shao was to investigate the girl with the S-rank Mystical talent. With the Bai family¡¯s influence, investigating a student in a subsidiary city of Bai Lin City was a simple task. Chapter 23 - White-Scaled Fish Crosses Three Levels, the Division of Proficiency! Chapter 23 White-Scaled Fish Crosses Three Levels, the Division of Proficiency!With one strike, the White-scaled Fish instantly killed the Candlefire Spider. Bai Zian was somewhat surprised by this. The Candlefire Spider, at Fifth Rank, was unable to withstand even one attack from the Third Rank White-scaled Fish. The White-scaled Fish¡¯s actual combat power seemed to be quite impressive. However, what astonished Bai Zian even more was the effect of the skill used by the White-scaled Fish. Normally, the power of Water Gun would at most penetrate the Candlefire Spider¡¯s head, leaving a hole. But now, the Candlefire Spider exploded like ignited dynamite, breaking into pieces. This didn¡¯t seem like the usual effect of Water Gun. Upon further thought, Bai Zian understood. This was due to the White-scaled Fish¡¯s A-Rank talent, [Flow Burst]. [Flow Burst]: Allows attack-type water skills to carry a bursting impact effect. This was what caused the Candlefire Spider to explode into fragments. This talent had an unexpectedly powerful effect on attack-type water skills. It was a remarkable discovery. ¡°However, this means I need to find stronger Candlefire Spiders.¡± ¡°Only a more powerful spiritual beast can provide the White-scaled Fish with some real pressure.¡± Bai Zian mused, thinking about this. His primary purpose for coming to the Candlefire Volcano was to train the White-scaled Fish. If every opponent was defeated in one strike, there would be no real training effect for the White-scaled Fish. Therefore, Bai Zian needed to find stronger Candlefire Spiders to challenge the White-scaled Fish and provide it with growth opportunities. On the other hand, Bai Zian also planned to take this opportunity to further hone the White-scaled Fish¡¯s skills. The White-scaled Fish was very special, having been born with five skills. Each of these skills needed to be practiced before they could be mastered. Additionally, spiritual beast skills were not simply effective upon use. The same skill could produce different effects and power when used by different spiritual beasts. It was similar to a novice swordsman versus a renowned sword master; the same strike would yield vastly different results. A novice might not even cut through a blade of grass, while a renowned swordsman could split a mountain. This reflected the skill proficiency. In the beast taming world, skill proficiency had been extensively studied and was categorized into five stages: Initial Understanding, Entry-Level, Proficient, Mastery, and Peak Mastery. In modern terms, this could be simplified to Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Perfect. Training the White-scaled Fish¡¯s skills to mastery was one of Bai Zian¡¯s goals for this journey. With this decision made, Bai Zian and the White-scaled Fish ventured deeper into the Candlefire Volcano for a new round of hunting. Time passed quickly, and a week had gone by in the blink of an eye. When Bai Zian appeared again, his clothing seemed dirtier and messier than at the start. This was because he had not left the Candlefire Volcano for the past week, continuously hunting Candlefire Spiders. After a week of battles, the White-scaled Fish had undergone tremendous changes in strength. [Species]: White-scaled Fish (Water Element)[Level]: Sixth Rank (Mediocre)[Talent]: Swift Flow (S), Yinming Power (S), Flow Burst (A)[Quality]: Intermediate King[Skills]: Rapid Water Manipulation (Purple¡¤Beginner), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple¡¤Beginner), Flow Burst (Blue¡¤Proficient), Water Gun Impact (Green¡¤Advanced), Foam Layer (Green¡¤Advanced) In just seven days, the White-scaled Fish¡¯s level had risen from Third Rank to Sixth Rank. This progression spanned three levels. If the high school students from Mining Rock City knew this, they would be stunned into silence. They had spent a whole year to elevate their pets to Fifth or Sixth Rank, while Bai Zian achieved this in just one week. This gap was unimaginable. However, it was normal for the White-scaled Fish to have such growth. On one hand, the White-scaled Fish¡¯s potential was far superior to that of ordinary spiritual beasts, being a King-class spiritual beast. It had a significant advantage in growth. On the other hand, Bai Zian¡¯s Mythical Beast Space had effects that accelerated pet growth and reduced development time. Most importantly, it was the White-scaled Fish¡¯s rapid growth period. After birth, spiritual beast pups go through a rapid growth phase due to survival rules in the wilderness. Without sufficient strength, survival is impossible. Many spiritual beasts or animals have this instinct. This is similar to human infants who grow significantly within a few years, reaching the stage of walking and running. It¡¯s a natural law. The White-scaled Fish¡¯s growth phase would continue until it reached Black Iron level, after which it would enter a prolonged development phase. Bai Zian guessed that this period would end at that point. Additionally, the Bai family¡¯s ample resources meant that Bai Zian never lacked in providing food for the White-scaled Fish. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The White-scaled Fish¡¯s diet consisted of the most suitable spiritual beast meat. Even deep within the Candlefire Volcano, the Protection Team would deliver the White-scaled Fish¡¯s food regularly. Bai Zian¡¯s purpose was to train, not to torment the White-scaled Fish. The better the White-scaled Fish¡¯s growth, the greater the benefits for Bai Zian in the future. The Bai family understood this, so Bai Jingchong had not interfered but rather allowed the Protection Team to deliver food. This was why the White-scaled Fish had made such significant progress in just a week. It was a substantial achievement. For Bai Zian, there was an even greater gain: the results of the White-scaled Fish¡¯s skill training. Chapter 24 - [Eye of Apocalypse]’s Alternative Application, the Worship of White-Scaled Fish! Chapter 24 [Eye of Apocalypse]¡¯s Alternative Application, the Worship of White-Scaled Fish! S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.During this period, the White-Scaled Fish¡¯s control over its skills had greatly improved. In particular, the two skills, [Water Gun Impact] and [Foam Layer]. These two green skills have now been mastered to a minor achievement level by the White-Scaled Fish. A minor achievement level indicates a degree of mastery that is fluent and proficient. For an ordinary beast Tamer, it usually takes about a year of honing a skill to reach this point. However, Bai Zian¡¯s White-Scaled Fish had achieved this level already. This achievement was indeed quite remarkable. It showed just how extraordinary the talent of the White-Scaled Fish truly was. But the real reason for this success lies with Bai Zian. More precisely, it was due to the power of the [Eye of Revelation]. There was one instance when the White-Scaled Fish used a skill, and Bai Zian activated his [Eye of Revelation] talent at the same time. At that moment, Bai Zian received a new insight from the Heaven¡¯s Insight: [You are studying how the White-Scaled Fish is training the ¡®Water Gun Impact¡¯ skill, and you have received a Heaven¡¯s Insight.].[Mistake: When the White-Scaled Fish uses Water Gun Impact, the water energy disperses and cannot focus on one point, which reduces the power of the water gun.].[Correct Method: Concentrate the water energy at one point before launching the attack. This will significantly increase the effectiveness of the water gun impact]. Yes, the [Eye of Revelation] could detect the mistakes made by the White-Scaled Fish when using its skills. Even more, the [Eye of Revelation] could directly provide the solution. Because of this, with Bai Zian¡¯s help, the White-Scaled Fish was able to raise the Water Gun Impact skill to a minor achievement level. Similarly, the situation with the Foam Layer skill was almost the same. Under Bai Zian¡¯s guidance, the White-Scaled Fish successfully increased its proficiency in the Foam Layer skill to a minor achievement level. This was a major accomplishment for Bai Zian. He never imagined that the [Eye of Revelation] could be used in this way, to assist in the training of spirit beast skills and enhance their proficiency. Additionally, as the proficiency of both [Water Gun Impact] and [Foam Layer] reached the minor achievement level, the power of these two skills had significantly increased. For instance, the Foam Layer skill originally could only last for five minutes. But after the proficiency of the Foam Layer skill increased to the minor achievement level, not only did its defensive capability improve, but it could now also last for fifteen minutes without breaking. This was a significant improvement. ¡°Ring, ring~¡± ¡°Boss, where are we going next?¡± The White-Scaled Fish, wrapped in bubbles, floated in front of Bai Zian, looking at him with reverence. Its purple-gold fish eyes seemed to sparkle with golden light. This was the side effect of Bai Zian¡¯s guidance for the White-Scaled Fish. Ever since Bai Zian used the [Eye of Revelation] to see through the mistakes in the White-Scaled Fish¡¯s skill use and corrected them with guidance, the White-Scaled Fish was astonished. It discovered that Bai Zian seemed to be an all-knowing existence. As long as it followed Bai Zian¡¯s teachings, its skills would improve by leaps and bounds, with not only increased mastery but also enhanced power. Because of this, the White-Scaled Fish¡¯s favorability toward Bai Zian skyrocketed, to the point where it almost idolized him. In response, Bai Zian found it both amusing and awkward. He never expected that guiding the White-Scaled Fish in its skill training would have this effect. If there were a loyalty meter, the White-Scaled Fish¡¯s loyalty to Bai Zian would surely be at the maximum value of 100 by now. This was quite surprising to Bai Zian. Of course, this was a good result, so Bai Zian naturally wouldn¡¯t reject it. To be honest, Bai Zian had encountered some difficulties when he first trained the White-Scaled Fish. Although the White-Scaled Fish was hatched by him and shared a high level of synergy with Bai Zian, it was born extraordinary¡ªa spirit beast with the potential of a king-level creature, extremely proud. Before, when the Candlefire Spider only roared at it in a show of bluster, the White-Scaled Fish immediately flew into a rage, ready to tear the Candlefire Spider apart. One could say that Bai Zian¡¯s White-Scaled Fish had a proud temperament. It was even more arrogant than Feng Qianyu¡¯s little phoenix. So, even though the White-Scaled Fish was naturally close to Bai Zian, it wasn¡¯t particularly easy to control. At times, the White-Scaled Fish would act on its own, attacking wild spirit beasts that passed by without Bai Zian¡¯s command. This was quite a problem. Bai Zian would likely need some time to completely tame the White-Scaled Fish. However, ever since Bai Zian demonstrated his ability to guide and train it, the White-Scaled Fish¡¯s attitude toward him underwent a complete 180-degree change. Now, Bai Zian had become the absolute idol of the White-Scaled Fish. When Bai Zian gave an order, the White-Scaled Fish followed it without the slightest hesitation. If Bai Zian pointed east, the White-Scaled Fish would definitely not head west. This was the greatest achievement Bai Zian had gained in recent times. ¡°The only pity is that I can¡¯t further improve the proficiency of [Aqua Dash] and [Yin Water Corrosion] for now.¡± Bai Zian sighed inwardly. To be honest, Bai Zian was more eager to improve these two skills, Aqua Dash and Yin Water Corrosion. These two were purple-grade skills, which meant that they were high-level skills. Bai Zian had only ever seen purple-grade skills once before, after activating his [Eye of Revelation] talent. That was his grandfather¡¯s Crimson-Eyed Goldfish¡¯s [Water Burst] skill. Purple-grade skills were typically possessed by purple-crystal grade spirit beasts. The White-Scaled Fish only had these purple skills because of its two special S-grade talents. Bai Zian was certain that once these two skills were unleashed, they would display incredible power. And indeed, Bai Zian had previously allowed the White-Scaled Fish to use [Aqua Dash] and [Yin Water Corrosion] once. The power was truly astounding. However, the White-Scaled Fish fell into a state of exhaustion after using them just once, and it took a long time to recover. In short, these high-level skills consumed a lot of energy and were beyond what the White-Scaled Fish could handle at its current stage. For this reason, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t pushed the White-Scaled Fish to train these two special skills. However, these high-burst, high-consumption skills could serve as hidden trump cards for the White-Scaled Fish. This was indeed a good choice. This summarizes all of Bai Zian¡¯s achievements for the week. Chapter 25 - Kill the Black Iron-Level Candle Spider and Prepare the Evolution Materials! Chapter 25 Kill the Black Iron-Level Candle Spider and Prepare the Evolution Materials!¡°Hiss!¡± Just as Bai Zian was organizing his gains from the past week, a hissing sound appeared in front of him. It was a Candlefire Spider. Unlike the previous ones, this Candlefire Spider was much larger, about the size of a small calf. [Species]: Candlefire Spider (Fire Type)[Level]: Primary Black Iron[Talent]: Candlelight (F)[Qualification]: Primary Black Iron[Skills]: Flickering Candlefire (White), Scorching Spider Silk (White) This was an adult Candlefire Spider, fully grown and possessing the power of a Primary Black Iron creature. If it appeared in the outside world, it might stir up some trouble, as a Black Iron-ranked spirit beast could cause significant problems. However, Bai Zian remained calm and directly commanded Bai Linyu to attack. [Water Stream Burst.]. Upon receiving Bai Zian¡¯s command, Bai Linyu, surrounded by its foam layer, instantly unleashed a terrifying attack. A water pillar as thick as a barrel shot out and blasted towards the Candlefire Spider. With a loud sound, the Candlefire Spider was instantly shattered. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Black Iron-ranked Candlefire Spider couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow from Bai Linyu. The power of this attack seemed astonishing, but Bai Zian¡¯s expression remained calm and indifferent, as this was far from the first time he had seen such a scene. To be honest, Bai Linyu had a huge advantage over these fire-element Candlefire Spiders. Moreover, Bai Linyu was using a blue-grade skill, [Water Stream Burst], a mid-level skill, which naturally had such an effect. Of course, the most important reason was Bai Linyu¡¯s sheer strength. Cross-realm battles were normal for Bai Linyu. Speaking of this, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but think about Bai Linyu¡¯s true combat power. In fact, Bai Linyu¡¯s real combat capability was extremely formidable. Bai Zian had tested it before. When Bai Linyu fought at full power, it could take down a mid-level Black Iron-ranked Candlefire Spider. Although it couldn¡¯t one-shot such a spider, a prolonged fight would suffice. For a creature of Bai Linyu¡¯s low sixth rank to defeat a mid-level Black Iron-ranked creature was already quite astonishing. However, this was specifically against fire-type spirit beasts, where Bai Linyu had a natural advantage. Against other types of spirit beasts, it could likely only defeat Primary Black Iron-ranked creatures. This was Bai Linyu¡¯s true combat power. ¡°At this rate, in about another week, Bai Linyu should be able to reach the ninth rank. It¡¯s time to prepare its evolution materials.¡± After evaluating Bai Linyu¡¯s growth over the past week, Bai Zian began planning for the future. At Bai Linyu¡¯s current growth speed, it would soon reach the ninth rank of its current level. By then, Bai Linyu could attempt to break through to the Black Iron level and undergo its first evolution. All the evolution materials needed to be prepared in advance. ¡°Sister Bai Zhi, please contact home for me.¡± With that thought, Bai Zian called for his guardian, Bai Shao. ¡°Yes, Young Master Zian.¡± The icy beauty Bai Zhi appeared instantly beside Bai Zian, holding a silver-white snail in her hand. This was the communication tool of the Beast World¡ªa snail spirit beast modified for long-distance communication, commonly known as the ¡°phone snail.¡± ¡°No matter how many times I see this, it still feels like the Phone Snail from One Piece*,¡± Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself. The resemblance was just too uncanny. The only difference was that this one couldn¡¯t mimic the person on the other end of the call. In every other aspect, it functioned the same. ¡°It¡¯s Xiao An. How¡¯s your training been going lately?¡± When the call connected, the voice of Bai Jingchong, his grandfather, came through the phone snail. ¡°Not quite like being at home, but how have you been, Grandpa?¡± Bai Zian smiled and inquired about his grandfather¡¯s health before quickly moving on to the main topic. ¡°Grandpa, I need a few things. Could you help me prepare them? Including the heart of the White Shadow Whale¡­¡± Bai Zian quickly listed the materials he needed. ¡°Wait a minute, Xiao An, are these evolution materials? Are you planning on evolving Bai Linyu in a different direction?¡± ¡°Xiao An, you can¡¯t be reckless. I won¡¯t allow you to make such a decision,¡± Bai Jingchong responded with concern after hearing Bai Zian¡¯s request. Bai Jingchong quickly realized that these materials were for evolution but not for the usual evolutionary path of the Red-Eyed Goldfin Fish. A mature evolutionary chain was formed through generations of research and practice, which was why powerful families and sects had flourished. Their secret evolutionary chains were their greatest assets and heritage. The Bai family had an evolution chain that could guarantee Bai Linyu¡¯s evolution to the Diamond level. That was already a very strong chain. If Bai Zian recklessly changed the chain, unexpected results might occur. If the evolution went wrong, Bai Linyu might be stuck at the Black Iron or Bronze level. Bai Jingchong could not allow that. ¡°Grandpa, I have a special reason for this decision,¡± Bai Zian said calmly. ¡°When I visited the treasury, I saw the heart of the White Shadow Whale. At that moment, I had a strong intuition that the heart was perfectly suited for Bai Linyu.¡± Bai Zian had anticipated his grandfather¡¯s opposition. After all, anyone familiar with Beast Taming knew the value of evolutionary chains. Venturing onto an entirely new evolutionary path was incredibly risky, a fact known to all in the Beast World. However, for Bai Zian, this rule didn¡¯t apply, because Bai Zian was someone with a cheat code. With his Mythical-Level Talent, [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian could obtain heavenly insights and view all possible evolution paths of any creature. This was Bai Zian¡¯s true trump card. Chapter 26 - The Unlucky Qiao Gubai, the White-Scaled Fish Is Promoted to the Eighth Level! Chapter 26 The Unlucky Qiao Gubai, the White-Scaled Fish Is Promoted to the Eighth Level!The power of the Mythical Talent [Eye of Revelation] was truly astonishing. Even the evolutionary chains of spirit beasts couldn¡¯t escape Bai Zian¡¯s gaze. When Bai Zian first researched the evolution chain of the White-scaled Fish, he instantly obtained all its possible evolutionary paths. In other words, no spirit beast¡¯s evolution chain held any secrets before Bai Zian. This was the terrifying aspect of his Mythical Talent [Eye of Revelation]. To be honest, if Bai Zian casually revealed just a few evolution chains, he could probably trade them for unimaginable wealth. This was the greatest reward Bai Zian had gained since obtaining this mythical talent. Of course, Bai Zian would never do such a thing. Having immense wealth without the strength to protect it would be a fatal mistake. If he released just a few evolution chains in exchange for wealth, countless powers would immediately target him, bringing endless trouble to him and his family. Why would Bai Zian put himself in such danger? Moreover, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. As a third-generation member of the Bai family, he had access to the family¡¯s resources, which were more than sufficient for him to use for some time. There was no reason for Bai Zian to invite unnecessary trouble. This was his way of thinking. As for how to persuade Bai Jingchong, that was even simpler. If Bai Jingchong asked, he would just attribute everything to his Mutated Talent [Super Intuition]. After all, as someone who ¡°possessed¡± the Mutated Talent [Super Intuition], having some special premonitions was entirely normal, right? ¡°Is that so? Very well, the family will prepare the evolution resources you need in advance,¡± Bai Jingchong said. ¡°But this is a matter of great importance, and we must proceed cautiously. I hope you will take more time to consider and avoid rushing into evolution.¡± As expected, Bai Jingchong¡¯s attitude began to change, becoming hesitant rather than firmly opposed like before. In response, Bai Zian nodded repeatedly, assuring that he would carefully consider it. Of course, this was merely to placate Bai Jingchong. Bai Zian had long decided on the White-scaled Fish¡¯s evolution chain. His goal was to have it undergo nine evolutions, transforming from a fish into a Kunpeng. That was his pursuit, and nothing more needed to be said. A while later, after finishing the conversation, Bai Zian summoned Bai Zhi and handed her the phone snail. ¡°Young Master Zian, the information you requested about that female student has been collected,¡± Bai Zhi quickly reported. After a week of effort, the Protection Team had finally gathered all the details on Qiao Gubai. ¡°Hand it over. Let me take a look,¡± Bai Zian said, nodding slightly. He took the documents from Bai Zhi and began reviewing the contents. ¡°As expected, her talent didn¡¯t bring her any luck but rather a series of misfortunes,¡± Bai Zian sighed after glancing at the information. Qiao Gubai¡¯s life was tragic. Both her parents were dead, she had no relatives, and she was burdened with debt¡ªall because of her talent. Her talent, related to luck, would absorb the fortune of those around her and gather it to herself, leading to misfortune for anyone close to her. This talent was undeniably shocking. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Qiao Gubai remained remarkably strong. Despite facing so many hardships, she persisted, silently taking on her parents¡¯ debts. Her resilience was admirable, and Bai Zian believed that if he recruited her, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about her betrayal. However, Bai Zian had already predicted this outcome. What concerned him more were two other things: first, whether Qiao Gubai¡¯s background was clean, and second, why her S-Class Talent hadn¡¯t been reported to Bailin City. He quickly found the answers. Regarding her background, there were no issues. Her family had lived in Mining Rock City for generations with no suspicious records. As for the talent reporting issue, after analyzing the information and using his [Eye of Revelation] to deduce more details, Bai Zian arrived at the truth. ¡°On the day of her awakening, Qiao Gubai was the last student to have her talent appraised, and after her assessment, the machine malfunctioned¡­¡± ¡°Interesting. It seems her talent can even influence objects,¡± Bai Zian murmured thoughtfully. The appraisal machine could only identify talents below S-Class, so it couldn¡¯t determine her true ability. Moreover, her talent had interfered with the assessment, resulting in her being misclassified as having an F-Class Talent. This was the true story. Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but feel amused. He hadn¡¯t expected someone else to experience the same misclassification he had. Her talent¡¯s effects were indeed extraordinary. After fully understanding the situation, Bai Zian made a decision. ¡°Bai Zhi, I need you to do something for me,¡± Bai Zian said, summoning the ice-cold Bai Zhi. ¡°Send someone to Mining Rock City, solve Qiao Gubai¡¯s problems, and transfer her to Bai Lin City¡­¡± ¡°Understood, Young Master Zian,¡± Bai Zhi replied with a respectful bow before disappearing to carry out his orders. With that, the matter was settled. Bai Zian no longer needed to be involved, as his subordinates would handle the rest. With this taken care of, he shifted his focus back to training the White-scaled Fish. Time passed quickly. Soon, Bai Zian found himself halfway up Candlefire Mountain, the central area of the region. Here, Black Iron-level Candlefire Spiders had become quite common, yet Bai Zian showed no fear. After all, the White-scaled Fish had made significant progress over the past week. [Species]: White-scaled Fish (Water Element)[Level]: Eighth Tier (Low Tier)[Talent]: Flow Control Speed (S), Yinming Power (S), Water Splitting Strike (A)[Potential]: Intermediate King-level[Skills]: Water Speed Burst (Purple, Novice), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple, Novice), Water Splitting Strike (Blue, Minor), Water Cannon Impact (Green, Minor), Foam Layer (Green, Major) Using the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian carefully examined the current state of the White-scaled Fish. Chapter 27 - Meeting Qiao Gubai Again, Bai Zian’s Test! Chapter 27 Meeting Qiao Gubai Again, Bai Zian¡¯s Test!Yes, the White Scale Fish¡¯s rank had already risen to the Eighth Rank! Although it was still slightly below Bai Zian¡¯s expectation of Rank Nine, according to Bai Zian¡¯s plan, as long as the White Scale Fish engaged in a fierce battle, it should be able to advance to Rank Nine. However, what delighted Bai Zian even more was that the proficiency of the [Foam Layer] skill had advanced. This was an astonishing improvement because, as skill proficiency advances, the rate of improvement slows down significantly. A skill may only take a few months or a year to advance from Beginner to Proficient. However, going from Proficient to Mastered could take several years. The time cost for this process increases exponentially. For this reason, over the past week, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t had the White Scale Fish train the Foam Layer at all. Instead, he had it focus on training the [Water Flow Burst] skill. After all, it was a blue-ranked skill, and mastering it could significantly enhance the White Scale Fish¡¯s combat power. Because of this, the [Water Flow Burst] skill was raised to the Proficient level by Bai Zian. However, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t expected the Foam Layer skill to reach the Mastered level. The most likely reason was that the White Scale Fish had difficulty moving in the volcanic region and constantly had to use the Foam Layer. Repeated use gave the White Scale Fish a deep understanding of the skill, leading to the current results. This was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Back to the matter at hand¡ªthe most important thing right now was to promote the White Scale Fish to Rank Nine. That was the priority. ¡°For the White Scale Fish to advance, it needs a fierce battle,¡± Bai Zian murmured to himself as he pondered the situation. ¡°But for the current White Scale Fish, feeling any pressure may require a top-tier Black Iron opponent.¡± ¡°Looks like I need to find a top-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider leader.¡± The top-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider represents the species¡¯ growth limit. At this level, the Candlefire Spider can gather a group of its kin to establish a small spider nest, earning it the title of Candlefire Spider Leader. To be honest, this was the situation that beast tamers adventuring in the Candlefire Mountain dread the most. Even a small spider nest would have at least ten Candlefire Spiders. With ten spiders attacking simultaneously, launching relentless assaults without a moment¡¯s respite, it¡¯s a nightmare for low-level beast tamers. As for why Bai Zian specifically targeted the Candlefire Spider Leader, it naturally had to do with the White Scale Fish. The reason was simple: the White Scale Fish¡¯s real combat strength was just too astounding. Although it hadn¡¯t yet advanced to Rank Nine and was still at Eighth Rank, its strength had already grown to a remarkable degree. Not long ago, Bai Zian encountered a high-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider. However, in front of the White Scale Fish, that high-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider couldn¡¯t even withstand one blow. One strike, and the high-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider was instantly killed. In response, Bai Zian was both pleased and a bit helpless. Therefore, he had no choice but to search for higher-level Candlefire Spiders. Otherwise, the White Scale Fish would feel no pressure whatsoever. To be honest, Bai Zian had always felt that even a top-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider Leader might not put enough pressure on the White Scale Fish. After all, during the previous encounter with the high-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider, the White Scale Fish had handled it with such ease. Whether or not the top-tier Black Iron Candlefire Spider Leader could pose a challenge to the White Scale Fish remained to be seen. Without trying, no one could know the result for sure. This was why Bai Zian ventured deeper into Candlefire Mountain, seeking a suitable opponent. At that moment, a rustling sound came from the nearby bushes. In an instant, Bai Zian prepared for battle, ready to summon the White Scale Fish at any moment. However, it wasn¡¯t a Candlefire Spider that emerged from the bushes, but a schoolgirl wearing an old, worn school uniform. ¡°Qiao Gubai? What is she doing here?¡± Bai Zian muttered to himself, somewhat surprised. The person standing before him was the same high school girl with the special S-rank talent he had been keeping an eye on. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ that boy from the Centipede Train, right?¡± Qiao Gu Bai asked, her expression showing surprise. ¡°I remember your name is¡­ Bai Zian? What are you doing here?¡± Seeing Bai Zian, Qiao Gubai was puzzled, wondering how he had ended up in Candlefire Mountain. After all, this was Candlefire Mountain, home to the Candlefire Spiders. It seemed likely that Bai Zian had followed an elder here. However, at the moment, Bai Zian appeared to be all alone, without any companions. Could it be that, like her, Bai Zian had also been separated from his teacher and classmates? Qiao Gubai speculated silently. For a moment, she hesitated. Technically, since she had encountered Bai Zian, who was alone, she should help him. After all, Bai Zian looked young and possibly hadn¡¯t yet contracted a pet beast or become a beast tamer. But her own situation wasn¡¯t exactly ideal. Being somewhat solitary by nature, she always lagged behind the group. Moreover, a recent commotion had caused her to lose track of her teacher and classmates. This was a terrible predicament, especially since they were now deep in Candlefire Mountain, where danger lurked everywhere. She was barely able to protect herself, and adding a burden would only make things more complicated. Honestly, the best thing she could do right now was to turn around and leave, continuing on her own. However, she couldn¡¯t just leave Bai Zian behind in this dangerous place. Her conscience wouldn¡¯t allow it. So, Qiao Gu Bai found herself in a dilemma. While Qiao Gubai hesitated, Bai Zian watched her with great interest. Since the incident on the Centipede Train, Bai Zian had taken a particular interest in Qiao Gubai. He had even used the Bai family¡¯s resources to gather information about her. Now, perhaps he could use this opportunity to test her a little. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Elder Sister Qiao, I came in with my uncle, hoping to find a suitable pet beast. But I didn¡¯t expect to get separated from him.¡± ¡°Elder Sister Qiao, can I follow you?¡± Bai Zian pleaded, putting on an expression of fear as he sought her help. ¡°All right, this place is too dangerous. Stay close to me,¡± Qiao Gu Bai said, frowning as she pondered for a moment before making her decision. Though she herself was not in an ideal situation, having encountered Bai Zian, she couldn¡¯t just leave him to die here. That was her way of thinking. ¡°She¡¯s got a good heart, but I¡¯ll need to observe her a bit more,¡± Bai Zian thought to himself, feigning gratitude while quietly evaluating Qiao Gubai. Now that things had turned out this way, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to hunt down the Candlefire Spider Leader. Instead, he would stick close to Qiao Gubai for a while to observe her more closely. Thus, Bai Zian continued to follow Qiao Gubai. Chapter 28 - Qiao Gubai Passed the Test, Bai Zian’s Strength! Chapter 28 Qiao Gubai Passed the Test, Bai Zian¡¯s Strength! S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In the depths of Candlefire Mountain, two figures¡ªone man and one woman¡ªwere moving slowly. These two were Bai Zian and Qiao Gu Bai. Bai Zian had been following Qiao Gu Bai for two days now. Throughout this time, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t lifted a finger to fight; Qiao Gu Bai had been handling all the battles, protecting him. Bai Zian was quite pleased with her performance so far. However, Bai Zian still hadn¡¯t fully trusted Qiao Gu Bai. He knew that people¡¯s actions in everyday situations were often restrained by social and moral boundaries. It was only in the face of life-and-death situations that one¡¯s true character was revealed. Thus, Bai Zian planned to continue testing Qiao Gu Bai. Just as Bai Zian was contemplating this, a hissing sound reached his ears. At that moment, a massive Candlefire Spider, as large as a calf, appeared in front of them. ¡°A Black Iron-level Candlefire Spider. This will be a good test.¡± The moment Bai Zian saw the spider, he could tell it was of Black Iron rank. His eyes lit up with interest. Qiao Gu Bai¡¯s contracted beast was only a Seventh-Rank Stone Drill Worm, which had only just broken through to that level during their time in Candlefire Mountain. Facing a Black Iron-level Candlefire Spider would be extremely dangerous for her. But for Bai Zian, this was the perfect chance to observe Qiao Gu Bai under pressure. ¡°Not good, a Black Iron-level Candlefire Spider¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re in serious trouble now.¡± Qiao Gubai¡¯s expression changed drastically as she murmured, finally realizing the danger. This level of Candlefire Spider was not something she could deal with at all. If she was not careful, she might die here. To be honest, if she was alone, she could definitely escape from here easily. Because her luck was very good, every time she encounters danger, she could turn danger into safety. But now, Bai Zian was also here and things might become troublesome in this way. If she continued to take Bai Zian with her, she might not be able to escape. For a moment, Qiao Gubai was in hesitation. In fact, this was exactly the test that Bai Zian gave Qiao Gubai. Bai Zian did have the idea of ??recruiting Qiao Gubai. However, Bai Zian¡¯s recruitment was also divided into levels. From talent and qualifications to temperament and style, various factors were added together to form several levels. If it was rated as the highest level, it would be cultivated as a confidant and retainer. If it was the lowest level, it would be a guard at most. This was also the practice of the Bai family. Otherwise, where would retainers like Bai Zhi and Bai Shao come from? It could only be said that various aristocratic families and sects had their own ways of recruiting talents. And now was the critical time for Bai Zian to test Qiao Gubai. How Bai Zian evaluates Qiao Gubai depends on Qiao Gubai¡¯s performance. Of course, if Qiao Gubai abandons Bai Zian directly, Bai Zian won¡¯t say much. After all, this is human nature. Even if Bai Zian gives Qiao Gubai a lower score, he won¡¯t give her too many favors. ¡°Stone Drill Worm, use Stone Spear¡± Qiao Gu Bai summoned her beast, instructing it to attack the spider. As she did so, she turned to Bai Zian, shouting, ¡°Run back! I¡¯ll hold it off as long as I can!¡± Despite her fear, she had chosen not to abandon Bai Zian, staying to protect him. This decision moved Bai Zian. ¡°She passed,¡± he thought, a smile appearing on his face. ¡°Why are you still standing there? Run!¡± Qiao Gu Bai shouted again, seeing Bai Zian frozen in place. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Bai Zian said calmly, his demeanor shifting from fearful to composed. ¡°A mere Black Iron-level Candlefire Spider isn¡¯t worthy of my concern.¡± He smiled, no longer seeing the need to hide his true strength. Since Qiao Gu Bai had passed his test, it was time to show her his power. ¡°Come on out, White-Scaled Fish.¡± With those words, Bai Zian summoned his powerful pet, White-Scaled Fish. A glowing white fish, encased in a foam layer, materialized in front of him. In an instant, the White-Scaled Fish attacked. With a single blow, the Black Iron-level Candlefire Spider was shattered to pieces. It couldn¡¯t even withstand one attack from Bai Zian¡¯s pet. The battle ended in the blink of an eye, and Bai Zian retracted White-Scaled Fish. Qiao Gu Bai, stunned, stood in place, unable to comprehend what had just happened. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re a Beast Tamer?¡± she finally managed to ask after several moments, her voice filled with disbelief. She hadn¡¯t expected Bai Zian to be a Beast Tamer, let alone one this powerful. To be able to kill a Black Iron-level Candlefire Spider with one move was beyond anything she had imagined. ¡°I said I was looking for a new pet, but I never claimed I didn¡¯t already have others,¡± Bai Zian said with a chuckle. He was on the verge of reaching the Black Iron level himself, at which point he would be able to contract a second pet. So if he found the right spirit beast egg or young spirit beast, he¡¯d gladly accept it. Therefore, there seems to be nothing wrong with his previous words. However, given the strength shown by Bai Zian, Qiao Gubai was also very happy. Don¡¯t mention the issue of hiding strength, it is good to have strength after all. After all, their current location was deep in the Candle Mountain, full of dangers. With Bai Zian¡¯s strength, the possibility of them walking out of the Candle Mountain alive was much higher. How could Qiao Gubai not be happy about this? Chapter 29 - Bronze-Level Spirit Beast, Mutant Candlefire Spider Leader! Chapter 29 Bronze-Level Spirit Beast, Mutant Candlefire Spider Leader! Learning that Bai Zian was a beast tamer, and was also very strong. This shocked Qiao Gubai. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and expressed to Bai Zian that she hoped to continue to walk with him. Because Candlefire Mountain was too dangerous for her. Only in this way will she have the opportunity to get out of the Candlefire Mountain. In this regard, Bai Zian would naturally not refuse. Thinking about this, the two continued to set off. Earlier, it was Qiao Gubai who led the way in front, but this time it became Bai Zian who led the way. ¡°Wait, Zian, this direction is deeper than Candlefire Mountain. Are we going deeper into Candlefire Mountain?¡±¡± After walking for a while, Qiao Gubai suddenly discovered that they were heading deep into Candlefire Mountain. ¡°Yes, let me show you.¡± Bai Zian said with a chuckle. In order to test Qiao Gubai before, he wasted two days and even walked out some distance. This was different from Bai Zian¡¯s idea. After all, he was also planning to look for a Candlefire spider leader to give the white scale fish some pressure. Therefore, after completing the test of Qiao Gubai, Bai Zian went to the depths of Candlefire Mountain again. Of course, this was only one aspect of the reason. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. On the other hand, Bai Zian also intended to let Qiao Gu Bai have a clearer understanding of his strength. In this way, the effect would be better when Qiao Gubai was subdued later. But this time, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t gone too deep into the Candlefire Mountain before he found a special spider nest. This was a huge pothole. There were Candlefire spiders around the pothole, which were constantly carrying food, and the number directly exceeds 30. In the center of the pothole, there was a boulder several meters large. A special candlefire spider was lying on top of a boulder. Ordinary Candlefire spiders had a gray-brown body surface. But the surface of this candle spider was actually maroon. Moreover, this Candlefire spider had three candle-shaped organs on its back, which was three times that of an ordinary Candlefire spider. Moreover, the candle-like organs were still burning with raging flames, which looked very weird. The most important point was that this candle spider was too big, at least two meters in size. This size had far surpassed all the Candlefire spiders they encountered before. Even the high-level black iron candle spider he met before might only be about half the size of this maroon candle spider. This was definitely not a top black iron candle spider. Or, this special Candlefire spider had far surpassed the scale of the top black iron Candlefire spider. It could be said that the situation in front of him looked very strange. Thinking of this, Bai Zian quickly used the [Eye of the Revelation] to investigate the situation of this candle spider. [Race]: Mutant Candlefire Spider Leader (Fire Series)[Realm]: Primary Bronze[Talent]: Lava Body (B), Candlefire (F)[Qualification]: Advanced gold[Skills]: Melting and cutting spider silk (blue), candle burning group (green)¡­¡­. ¡°It¡¯s actually the leader of the mutated Candlefire Spider, and he also has two talents. How can this be possible?¡± ¡°How could such a mutant spirit beast appear in a place like Candlefire Mountain?¡± Bai Zian was shocked and seemed to be very surprised. However, it was normal for Bai Zian to be surprised. Before, Bai Zian had said that although mutations might occur, they were rare. What¡¯s more, the candle spider was nothing more than a low-level spirit beast. Under normal circumstances, the more low-level things were, the more difficult it was to mutate. You know, before Bai Zian¡¯s talent mutated, it was an A-level talent [Intuition], which was originally one of the advanced talents, so he got the opportunity to mutate. However, Bai Zian never expected that the low-level spirit beast like the candle spider had also mutated. Moreover, the leader of this mutant Candlefire spider actually had two talents. In Bai Zian¡¯s view, these two talents were not so special even though they were also dual talents. It goes without saying how rare a spirit beast with dual talents is. Bai Zian didn¡¯t expect that in addition to his white scaly fish, there were actually spirit beasts with dual talents. For this reason, Bai Zian was so shocked. There seemed to be something strange behind this matter. ¡°Zian, it¡¯s so scary here, let¡¯s get out of here.¡± Qiao Gubai looked panicked and whispered in Bai Zian¡¯s ear. They discovered this spider nest by accident, but they had not yet been discovered by those Candlefire spiders. If they retreat quietly now, there was still a chance to leave. ¡°Retreat? There is no need for this.¡± ¡°Instead, this is what I was hoping for.¡± Bai Zian smiled indifferently and slowly said a word. It¡¯s rare to meet such a special spirit beast, how could Bai Zian have any reason to retreat. You know, mutated spirit beasts are rare to see. In addition, the strength of mutated spirit beasts was generally very powerful. Under normal circumstances, if a mutated spirit beast appears, most of them are big monsters who are on the wrong side, and there is no possibility of taking it down at all. However, the leader of the mutated Candlefire spider in front of him was actually only bronze. A spirit beast of this level was not powerful for the Bai family. To put it bluntly, even if Bai Zian didn¡¯t make a move, he could order Bhai Zhi or Bai Shao to make a move to take down the leader of this mutated candle spider. This was Bai Zian¡¯s idea. Of course, Bai Zian did not intend to let Bao Zhi and Bai Shao take action for the time being. Because, the leader of this mutated candle spider was actually a junior bronze. The growth potential and strength of the mutated spirit beast had exceeded the upper limit of the original race, which was a very normal thing. But this was indeed good news for Bai Zian. Earlier, Bai Zian was still worried and felt that the leader of the candle spider, the top black iron, could not bring too much pressure to the white scale fish. But now, the leader of the Candlefire Spider had mutated, and even gained the strength of a primary bronze. For the white scale fish, this was the best opponent. As for how sure Bai Zian was. To be honest, he had never fought with a bronze spirit beast, so he was not sure. However, Bai Zian was not worried about safety. Even if the white scaled fish was defeated, the leader of the mutated Candlefire Spider could not hurt them. You know, the two gold-level beast tamers, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, were secretly protecting Bai Zian! They were not there just for decoration. If Bai Zian was in danger, they would naturally take action. In this way, did Bai Zian still need to worry about anything? Just take a direct shot. Thinking of this, Bai Zi had already made a decision in his mind. Chapter 30 - The Best Training Goal, Challenge the Mutated Spider Nest! Chapter 30 The Best Training Goal, Challenge the Mutated Spider Nest! ¡°Come out, Bai Linyu.¡± Having made up his mind, Bai Zian directly summoned Bai Linyu. Of course, Bai Zian intentionally kept things quiet, silently summoning Bai Linyu to avoid alerting the swarm of spiders and preparing for a sneak attack. Seeing this, Qiao Gubai was on the verge of tears. She never expected Bai Zian to still be eager to try his luck against a mutated spirit beast of the Bronze level. ¡°Zian, please don¡¯t act recklessly. This is truly something we cannot handle,¡± Qiao Gubai pleaded softly, hoping Bai Zian wouldn¡¯t take unnecessary risks. With her special fortune-related talent, she felt constant warnings in her heart. Qiao Gubai knew very well that this was something far beyond what they could deal with. If they acted rashly, they would only invite disaster. However, since Bai Zian had already made up his mind, how could he possibly change it? ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just take a few steps back and find a safe spot to watch from a distance.¡± Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bai Zian smiled calmly, lowering his voice. In truth, if Qiao Gu Bai stayed beside him, she would only hold him back. Moreover, Bai Zian wanted to display his strength in front of Qiao Gu Bai to make it easier to subdue her in the future. So, he didn¡¯t insist on her staying by his side, instead allowing her to retreat to a safer distance and watch from afar. After some hesitation, Qiao Gubai retreated a bit, as the mutated Candlefire Spider leader was simply too terrifying, and she lacked the courage to get closer. ¡°Now it¡¯s our turn.¡± ¡°Bai Linyu, start by using Water Gun to thin out the regular Candlefire Spiders.¡± ¡°When the mutated Candlefire Spider leader makes a move, use Water Burst¡­¡± Bai Zian whispered to Bai Linyu, explaining his strategy. This spider nest was unusual. Aside from the powerful mutated Candlefire Spider leader, there were over thirty ordinary Candlefire Spiders. Though these spiders weren¡¯t particularly strong individually, their numbers could still pose a significant problem. So, Bai Zian instructed Bai Linyu to first use the low-cost green skill Water Gun to eliminate the ordinary spiders. After dealing with them, Bai Linyu would then use the blue skill Water Burst to attack the mutated Candlefire Spider leader. This was Bai Zian¡¯s strategy. Although not particularly complex, it was more than sufficient for dealing with low-level spirit beasts like the Candlefire Spiders. Bling~ Got it, boss~ Bai Linyu, being highly talented and far more intelligent than ordinary spirit beasts, quickly grasped Bai Zian¡¯s meaning. Once all the preparations were complete, Bai Linyu controlled its foam layer, soaring into the air and heading straight into the nest. As for Bai Zian, he stayed outside the nest, watching from afar, with no intention of approaching. That was, of course, a given. As a Beast Tamer, rushing into the spider nest would be a death sentence. Even a fool wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. His role as a Beast Tamer was to stand at a distance and command his pet beast in battle, which was more than sufficient. At the same time, the alert Candlefire Spiders in the nest had already noticed Bai Linyu¡¯s presence and started hissing. The mutated Candlefire Spider leader, perched atop the boulder at the center of the pit, glanced at the floating Bai Linyu. Therefore, the mutated Candlefire Spider leader remained motionless, not bothering to acknowledge Bai Linyu¡¯s intrusion. As for Bai Linyu, it paid no attention to the chaos in the nest and unleashed the Water Gun attack it had been preparing. A water jet as thick as an arm shot directly into the densest cluster of Candlefire Spiders. In an instant, four Candlefire Spiders were blasted into pieces. The mutated Candlefire Spider leader, still on the boulder, was momentarily stunned. It hadn¡¯t expected that such a tiny fish, not even at the Black Iron level, could possess such power, killing four of its underlings in one move. This level of strength surpassed that of many Black Iron-level spirit beasts. The mutated Candlefire Spider leader was initially shocked, but soon it was consumed by rage. This audacity filled it with fury. The mutated Candlefire Spider leader let out a raspy screech. Immediately, the remaining Candlefire Spiders stopped panicking and launched a coordinated attack on Bai Linyu. However, Bai Linyu nimbly floated in the air, effortlessly dodging the incoming attacks. Despite the density of the attacks, none of them managed to touch Bai Linyu. That was expected. One of Bai Linyu¡¯s three talents was the S-level talent [Control Flow Speed], which, as the name suggests, was a speed-related talent that greatly enhanced Bai Linyu¡¯s agility. Combined with Bai Linyu¡¯s mastery over its Foam Layer, its control had reached a near-perfect level. With all these advantages, avoiding the attacks was child¡¯s play for Bai Linyu. Even while dodging, Bai Linyu continued its assault, using Water Gun to eliminate more Candlefire Spiders. In a short time, only ten ordinary Candlefire Spiders remained. Bai Linyu had already wiped out more than twenty of them. At this point, the mutated Candlefire Spider leader realized something was wrong. The more its underlings fought, the greater the losses. In such a short time, it had already lost over two-thirds of them. If Bai Linyu continued this massacre, the leader would soon be left alone. This was something the mutated Candlefire Spider leader couldn¡¯t tolerate. Unable to remain idle any longer, it launched a direct attack on Bai Linyu. Clusters of fiery-red flames shot out from the mutated Candlefire Spider leader¡¯s back, heading straight for Bai Linyu in the air. This was the mutated Candlefire Spider leader¡¯s green skill, quite powerful in its own right. However, this attack posed no threat to Bai Linyu. Chapter 31 - Killing the Mutated Candlefire Spider Leader, the White-Scaled Fish Breaks Through! Chapter 31 Killing the Mutated Candlefire Spider Leader, the White-Scaled Fish Breaks Through! The candlefire radiating intense heat had yet to approach the White-scaled Fish when it swiftly dodged out of the way. Despite the power behind the attack, if it failed to land, it was meaningless. Following Bai Zian¡¯s instructions, the White-scaled Fish ignored the provocations of the Mutated Candlefire Spider Leader and instead focused on attacking the regular Candlefire Spiders. This was a crucial step. Before the true battle began, it was essential to clear out the weaker enemies. If the White-scaled Fish ended up in a stalemate with the Mutated Spider Leader, it could fall prey to these lesser spiders. Therefore, clearing the battlefield beforehand was necessary. Thus, the White-scaled Fish paid no heed to the Spider Leader¡¯s attacks, continuing to strike at the ordinary spiders. The number of Candlefire Spiders rapidly dwindled. In no time, the nest was devoid of any regular spiders, all slain by the White-scaled Fish. Only the Mutated Spider Leader remained standing. At this point, the Mutated Spider Leader was utterly enraged. Furious, the Spider Leader launched a frenzied attack on the White-scaled Fish. Several strands of blazing red web shot from the Spider Leader¡¯s mouth, attempting to ensnare the fish. The White-scaled Fish evaded the attack with a quick movement, and the red threads hit the ground, instantly melting a rock and leaving a deep groove. This was the Spider Leader¡¯s trump card ¡ª the Blue Skill: Molten Thread Slash. These threads were imbued with terrifying heat, capable of easily melting and cutting through hard materials. Had the White-scaled Fish been struck, it would have suffered significant damage. However, the fish¡¯s speed made the likelihood of being hit extremely low. While dodging the attacks, the White-scaled Fish retaliated against the Spider Leader, using a more powerful skill this time: Water Flow Rupture. This was part of Bai Zian¡¯s strategy. Under the barrage of Water Flow Rupture, wounds began to appear on the Spider Leader¡¯s body, dealing considerable damage, especially to its legs, which the fish targeted specifically. This was part of Bai Zian¡¯s plan to prevent the Spider Leader from escaping. After all, it was rare to encounter such a mutated spirit beast, and Bai Zian would not let it slip away. As long as the White-scaled Fish maintained its momentum, victory seemed inevitable. However, as Bai Zian observed from afar, his brows furrowed slightly. He wasn¡¯t entirely pleased because the battle seemed too easy. Could it really be so simple for the White-scaled Fish to defeat a bronze-level mutant spirit beast? ¡°Wait a minute¡­ this spider is cunning. It¡¯s devised a plan!¡± Bai Zian suddenly had an epiphany. Unbeknownst to him, the webs inside the spider¡¯s nest had gradually increased in number. These were the remnants of the Spider Leader¡¯s previous attacks. Although the White-scaled Fish could dodge the attacks with ease, each time the Spider Leader struck, more webs were left behind. Over time, the webs had nearly covered the entire nest. The White-scaled Fish¡¯s strength lay in its speed, which allowed it to evade the Spider Leader¡¯s attacks. However, with too many webs, the fish¡¯s speed would be greatly hindered. When that happened, the Spider Leader would have a clear shot at it. This was exactly the Spider Leader¡¯s plan. During the earlier fight, it had already identified the White-scaled Fish¡¯s strengths. Hence, it devised a scheme to use its webs to limit the fish¡¯s speed. Once the webs completely covered the nest, the fish would be like a trapped turtle, becoming the spider¡¯s meal. ¡°White-scaled Fish, stop playing around! Use Yin Water Corrosion and finish it off!¡± Bai Zian shouted loudly, abandoning any concern for being overheard as he ordered the fish. He had realized that the Spider Leader¡¯s plan was about to succeed, so the only option was to end the battle swiftly. He commanded the White-scaled Fish to unleash its most powerful skill: Yin Water Corrosion. This was a purple-tier skill, with devastating power far beyond what the White-scaled Fish could normally handle. After using it, the fish would enter a state of exhaustion and require time to recover. But given the current situation, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t afford to worry about that. If they could kill the Spider Leader in one blow, the fish could rest as long as it needed. If not, they would lose. Bai Zian was pinning all his hopes on this one move. Although puzzled by Bai Zian¡¯s sudden change in strategy, the White-scaled Fish never disobeyed his orders. So, it unleashed Yin Water Corrosion. A strange water column appeared in front of the fish, unlike the previous water-based skills. This water was not clear but black, like ink, exuding a terrifying, bone-chilling aura. It seemed that just a drop would consume everything. In the next moment, the White-scaled Fish launched the attack. The black water column, radiating an aura of death, shot directly at the Spider Leader. The Spider Leader¡¯s expression changed dramatically. Its instincts screamed that it must not come into contact with this black water column, or its life would be in danger. It tried to dodge, but its injured legs refused to move. Due to its earlier injuries, its legs had been too severely damaged to function, leaving it helpless as the black water column struck its body.

In that instant, the Spider Leader¡¯s life force was gradually consumed by the dark water. With a final, anguished screech, the Mutated Candlefire Spider Leader fell, lifeless. The battle was won, and the White-scaled Fish had emerged victorious. Chapter 33 - Qiao Gubai’s Guilt, the Mutated Candlefire Spider Spirit’s Beast Egg! Chapter 33 Qiao Gubai¡¯s Guilt, the Mutated Candlefire Spider Spirit¡¯s Beast Egg! After some time, Bai Zian finally found a spirit stone the size of a longan* in the abdomen of the mutated Candlefire Spider leader. This was a special stone, resembling jade, radiating a soft glow, giving it a mystical appearance. It was the Awakening Origin Stone. Seeing this, Bai Zian was overjoyed. After admiring it for a while, he carefully stored it away. ¡°Zian, are you alright? Are you hurt?¡± At this moment, Qiao Gubai, who had been watching from a distance, finally approached Bai Zian after confirming that the danger had passed. Truth be told, Qiao Gubai was deeply shocked. The power of the mutated Candlefire Spider leader was evident to all. Even a typical bronze-level beast would likely not be a match for it. But this terrifying entity was actually eliminated by Bai Zian. It was astonishing. One must remember that Bai Zian was still just a trainee Beast Tamer, not even at the black iron level yet. However, his strength far exceeded his rank, crossing even the black iron boundary. With mere apprentice-level power, he had slain a bronze-level mutated Candlefire Spider leader. If such an event occurred outside, no one would believe it. It was simply too shocking to comprehend. Even outside this scenario, Bai Zian was a genius among geniuses, one of the most brilliant Beast Tamers. Thus, it was natural for Qiao Gubai to be deeply shaken. However, after the shock subsided, Qiao Gubai felt immensely guilty. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s all because of me and the bad luck I bring, that you faced such danger.¡± Qiao Gubai suddenly bowed to Bai Zian, apologizing. Bai Zian was momentarily stunned, not understanding why Qiao Gubai was suddenly apologizing. But after a brief thought, Bai Zian understood. Her unique S-class talent, [Luck Convergence], absorbed the luck of those around her, bringing bad luck to others. As a result, people around her often suffered from misfortune. For this reason, Qiao Gubai believed that the encounter with the mutated Candlefire Spider leader was her fault. Bai Zian almost wanted to laugh. He knew her talent well. While powerful, it didn¡¯t have that much influence. In fact, the sequence of events was likely reversed. It wasn¡¯t because of Qiao Gubai that the mutated Candlefire Spider leader appeared in Candlefire Mountain, leading them to meet it. Rather, the Candlefire Spider leader had already been birthed from changes in Candlefire Mountain. It was Qiao Gubai¡¯s talent that caused them to cross paths with it. In other words, the cause-and-effect sequence of events was somewhat different. Moreover, Bai Zian was quite pleased with this turn of events. Had it not been for the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, he wouldn¡¯t have had such a great reward. Setting aside other gains, the Awakening Origin Stone alone made this trip worthwhile for Bai Zian. For this, Bai Zian was somewhat grateful to Qiao Gubai. After all, when it comes to Beast Tamer talents, there is no such thing as good or bad. As long as a talent was used properly, even a seemingly useless one could prove valuable. Take Qiao Gubai¡¯s talent, for example. For ordinary people, it could indeed be a major inconvenience. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But if Qiao Gubai stayed by Bai Zian¡¯s side, it would only bring him benefits. For instance, if Bai Zian wanted to find strong enemies, he could simply rely on Qiao Gubai¡¯s unique luck, drawing various foes to him. Bai Zian even thought of other uses for her talent. For example, he could have Qiao Gubai accompany the Bai family¡¯s hunting party to the wilderness. Just by being near Qiao Gubai, they would continually attract spirit beasts, allowing them to hunt various kinds of spirit creatures. In this way, the Bai family could obtain a wealth of beast resources. Thus, Qiao Gubai¡¯s talent wouldn¡¯t be a curse, but rather a blessing. This was Bai Zian¡¯s line of thinking. ¡°No worries, a mere Candlefire Spider leader isn¡¯t enough to harm me.¡± ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll take you to see the spider lair¡¯s treasures; there should be some good stuff in there.¡± Bai Zian chuckled and said to Qiao Gubai. Though he had already looted the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, the benefits of this place were far from exhausted. After all, the lair of a mutated Candlefire Spider leader would surely have gathered a trove of valuable items. The resources they collected over time, as well as some Candlefire Spider beast eggs, were bound to be excellent gains. With this in mind, Bai Zian led Qiao Gubai deeper into the spider lair. ¡°If you find something you need, feel free to take a few.¡± After selecting a few items, Bai Zian spoke to Qiao Gubai. To be honest, he wasn¡¯t interested in lower-level items. After all, the evolutionary goal of his White-scaled Fish was incredibly ambitious ¡ª the legendary Kunpeng. Thus, the materials needed for its evolution were also of an extraordinary level. For this reason, Bai Zian only picked out a few high-quality items. As for the rest, he didn¡¯t mind giving them away as a gesture of goodwill. After all, he planned to recruit Qiao Gubai. Offering small benefits now would likely work in his favor. ¡°This isn¡¯t right, I didn¡¯t help you at all, so I can¡¯t take these things.¡± Qiao Gubai bit her lip and hesitated. While Bai Zian might not care for these items, to her, they were precious resources. She had never seen so many valuable items before and was quite excited. However, Qiao Gubai was very clear-headed. These items weren¡¯t hers to take. After all, during the attack on the spider lair, she hadn¡¯t helped at all and had only watched from afar. Now that Bai Zian had defeated the lair, she felt it would be wrong to take advantage of the spoils. She couldn¡¯t bring herself to do such a thing. ¡°Your integrity is commendable, but you shouldn¡¯t be so rigid in your thinking.¡± ¡°You guided me for two days; this is my way of repaying you.¡± Bai Zian chuckled. Qiao Gubai hesitated. After Bai Zian¡¯s repeated persuasion, she finally gave in and picked out a few items she needed. ¡°Hmm? The mutated Candlefire Spider leader actually left behind something like this?¡± Suddenly, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes lit up as he seemed to discover something. He reached into the depths of the spider lair and pulled out three red-colored beast eggs. At the same time, under the influence of his [Eye of Revelation], information about the beast eggs appeared before him. Chapter 34 - Completely Subdue Qiao Gubai, Give Away a Gold-Level Spirit Beast Egg! Chapter 34 Completely Subdue Qiao Gubai, Give Away a Gold-Level Spirit Beast Egg! [Species]: Mutated Candlefire Spider (Fire)[Talent]: Lava Body (B)[Potential]: Mid-tier Gold[Skills]: Molten Spider Silk (Blue), Faint Candlefire (White) Under the effect of [Eye of Revelation], the information of three spirit beast eggs instantly appeared in front of Bai Zian. ¡°This is¡­ the offspring of the mutated Candlefire Spider leader? They mutated too?¡± ¡°Or perhaps the mutation in the leader has stabilized, creating a completely new species of spider?¡± ¡°Interesting, I didn¡¯t expect a mutated spirit beast to have such an outcome,¡± Bai Zian mused. The fact that the offspring of the spider leader had mutated beyond the typical Candlefire Spider species was a major discovery. These could potentially be cultivated into a new spirit beast species. This realization gave Bai Zian an idea: he would have Bai Shao send these spirit beast eggs back to Bai Lin City. But before that, there was one more thing he needed to take care of. ¡°How do you feel about this trip to Candlefire Mountain?¡± Bai Zian asked Qiao Gubai as they made their way out. ¡°Candlefire Mountain is too dangerous. I don¡¯t belong here. The path of a Beast Tamer is far too difficult for me.¡± Qiao Gubai was impressed and admitted naturally. She knew that if it weren¡¯t for Bai Zian, she would have never made it this far. ¡°The path of a Beast Tamer is indeed hard, but with the right support, it¡¯s not impossible to walk it.¡± ¡°Qiao Gubai, would you like to become one of my followers? If you stay by my side, I can help you grow,¡± Bai Zian finally revealed his true intention. He had been preparing for this moment for a while. After all this time, it was time to make his move. Qiao Gubai was taken aback by the offer. She had begun to notice how extraordinary Bai Zian was after spending some time with him: a young man who ventured alone into Candlefire Mountain, wielding a pet beast with incredible potential, capable of crossing tiers in battle and defeating a mutated bronze-tier spider leader. Such a person must have an extraordinary background, and yet, he was now offering to recruit her. She couldn¡¯t believe it. She was both excited and doubtful. ¡°Your talent is unique and can be very useful to me. That¡¯s why I want you by my side. I can show you what it¡¯s like to reach the higher realms as a Beast Tamer.¡± Bai Zian explained, sensing her hesitation. ¡°All right, I¡¯m willing to follow you.¡± After a while, Qiao Gubai finally made a decision. Qiao Gubai knew it very well. Bai Zian¡¯s recruitment was definitely a good thing for her. Her pet was only a potential bronze-level stone cone worm. Even if it grew up, it would only be bronze-level at best. In other words, she could only become a bronze beastmaster at best. However, once she followed Bai Zian and obtained good resources, she might even become a silver beast tamer. Yes, becoming a silver beast tamer was Qiao Gubai¡¯s wish. Because a high-level silver beast tamer could already become the mayor of a small affiliated city. Just like the mayor of her hometown, Mining Stone City, was a top silver beast tamer. If Bai Zian knew that Qiao Gubai¡¯s wish was only to become a silver beastmaster, he would definitely roll his eyes. A person with S-level talent actually only wanted to become a silver beastmaster. If they told others, those high-level beastmasters would be ashamed to death. However, she didn¡¯t know much about her situation and thought she was an F-level talent. So, it was normal to have such thoughts. On the other hand, after spending a few days together, Qiao Gubai also had a little understanding of Bai Zian¡¯s temperament. Knowing that Bai Zian was not a person with bad intentions. For this reason, how could Qiao Gubai refuse Bai Zian? So, after a little consideration, Qiao Gubai agreed directly. ¡°Believe me, you will never regret your choice in the future.¡± ¡°Let me introduce myself again. My real name is Bai Zian, from the Bai family of Bai Lin City.¡± Bai Zian chuckled and said, showing a hint of joy. After so many days of preparation, he finally conquered a talent with special S-level talent.

For this reason, Bai Zian also revealed his true identity. ¡°Bai Lin City, what is Bai Lin City Bai Family¡­¡± ¡°Wait, the Bai Family of the Diamond Beast Tamer City Lord, City Lord Bai Jingchong?¡± At the beginning, Qiao Gubai was still a little confused, not knowing what the Bai Family was. But soon, Qiao Gubai reacted. Because this surname was too famous in Bai Lin City. Bai Jingchong, the Lord of Bai Lin City, was a diamond-level beastmaster and one of the seven strongest people in the entire Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret Realm. As a wealthy town in Bai Lin City, how could Mining Rock City not have heard of this name? ¡°Well, it¡¯s just what you understand. Welcome to Bai Family.¡± Bai Zian smiled indifferently and nodded slightly. Because of this reason, Bai Zian revealed his identity. It turned out that Bai Zian¡¯s idea was correct. After knowing Bai Zian¡¯s true identity, Qiao Gubai¡¯s last trace of worry completely disappeared. After all, although Bai Zian had amazing potential, she had no idea about Bai Zian¡¯s origin. It was impossible to say that she had no worries at all. However, after knowing Bai Zian¡¯s origin, she was completely relieved. After all, this was the family of the diamond-level beast tamer, which was simply a happy event. She completely understood that her choice was correct. ¡°Since you choose to follow me, I will also give you a gift.¡± ¡°This is the offspring of the mutated candle spider leader, and it also has the characteristics of the mutated candle spider leader. It has the potential of the gold level and can grow to the highest level of gold.¡± ¡°Pick a spirit beast egg, contract it, and make it your pet.¡± Bai Zian took out three red spirit beast eggs and said to Qiao Gubai. Chapter 35 - Break the Beast Control Contract by Force and Leave Candlefire Mountain! Chapter 35 Break the Beast Control Contract by Force and Leave Candlefire Mountain! Qiao Gubai¡¯s pet beast was a Stone Drill Worm, but its growth potential was too low, only capable of reaching the Bronze level at most. Such limited growth was far beneath her beast taming talent. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Coincidentally, Bai Zian had recently obtained three spirit beast eggs of the Mutated Candlefire Spider. Bai Zian intended to let Qiao Gubai contract one of these eggs. This idea had already formed in Bai Zian¡¯s mind when he first acquired the eggs. However, since he hadn¡¯t fully gained control over Qiao Gubai at the time, he only brought it up now. As for Bai Zian himself, to be honest, he was close to advancing to the Black Iron level. Once he becomes a Black Iron Beast Master, he would be able to contract a second pet. However, Bai Zian didn¡¯t plan to contract one of the Mutated Candlefire Spider eggs. Although the Mutated Candlefire Spider was considered a decent spirit beast, with its Golden-level potential, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t too interested in it. After all, his first pet, the White Scale Fish, started off with three innate talents and possessed the potential of a Monarch-level beast. With such a precedent, how could he settle for a beast with only Gold-level potential? In Bai Zian¡¯s eyes, the Mutated Candlefire Spider was more suited as a reward for his subordinates, just like how he was currently gifting one of its eggs to Qiao Gubai. Naturally, Qiao Gubai was unaware of Bai Zian¡¯s thoughts. However, upon hearing his offer, she was overjoyed. She hadn¡¯t expected to receive such a valuable gift shortly after pledging allegiance to him¡ªa spirit beast egg with Gold-level potential. If she contracted it, wouldn¡¯t she have the potential to become a Gold-level Beast Tamer? How could she not be excited? But amidst her excitement, Qiao Gubai also felt a sense of disbelief. After all, her previous dream was just to become a Silver-level Beast Tamer. Now, the opportunity to become a Gold-level Beast Master was right before her. This surreal feeling overwhelmed her. ¡°How about it? Would you like to contract the spirit beast egg of the Mutated Candlefire Spider?¡± Bai Zian¡¯s voice snapped Qiao Gubai back to reality. ¡°Thank you, I will definitely repay your kindness,¡± she responded hurriedly. Unlike before, this time, she didn¡¯t refuse. On one hand, the lure of a Gold-level spirit beast egg was too great. On the other hand, her status had changed¡ªshe was now one of Bai Zian¡¯s subordinates. Even if she grew stronger, she would still serve him. So, without any hesitation, she randomly selected one of the three eggs. ¡°Truly blessed with luck. She picked the one with the best potential,¡± Bai Zian murmured to himself. Among the three eggs, there were varying levels of quality, and the best one had top-tier Gold-level potential. And that was the one Qiao Gubai had chosen. Bai Zian merely sighed in admiration but didn¡¯t say much. Even more excited, Qiao Gubai proceeded to contract the egg on the spot. However, because she wasn¡¯t yet at the Black Iron level, she couldn¡¯t contract a new pet unless she severed her current bond with the Stone Drill Worm. Indeed, a beast tamer could dissolve the contract with their pet. Some powerful beast tamers had done so because, as they grow stronger, certain lower-level pets no longer suit their needs in battle. Choosing a pet with greater potential to boost their strength isn¡¯t uncommon. However, breaking a contract does come with some backlash for the beast tamer. But compared to the reward of a Gold-level spirit beast egg, the backlash meant little to Qiao Gubai. So, without hesitation, she prepared to break the contract with her Stone Drill Worm. Typically, there were two methods for beast tamers to re-contract a new pet. The first method was to forcibly break the existing contract and release the pet. The second method was for the current pet to die. If the pet dies, the contract space becomes vacant, allowing the master to form a new bond. Comparatively, the second method causes less backlash to the beast tamer. However, many beast tamers frown upon and even prohibit the second method. After all, people have feelings, and a pet isn¡¯t just a tool but a companion. The goal of contracting a stronger pet is to improve oneself. But in such circumstances, killing one¡¯s pet just to minimize the backlash is seen as too ruthless. As a result, this practice was banned by the Jiuzhou Federation. Bai Zian said nothing more, silently observing Qiao Gubai, curious to see what she would do. This was also a test of her character. Every decision reveals something about a person¡¯s nature, making it worth paying attention to. A faint sound of breaking could be heard, and a bewildered Stone Drill Worm appeared before Qiao Gubai. Her face turned pale, and she looked a bit drained. She had chosen the first method¡ªforcefully breaking the contract and releasing the Stone Drill Worm instead of killing it. Though the backlash was significant, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes gleamed with approval, pleased with her decision. After a short while, Qiao Gubai recovered slightly and began the process of contracting the Mutated Candlefire Spider egg. After some effort, she successfully formed the contract and stored the egg in her pet space. ¡°All right, now that we¡¯re done here, we should leave Candlefire Mountain,¡± Bai Zian said, addressing Qiao Gubai. His purpose for coming to the mountain had been to train his White Scale Fish. Now that it had reached the ninth stage of the Unranked, only one step away from Black Iron, it was time to return to Bai Lin City to prepare for the first evolution of the White Scaled Fish. Chapter 37 - King-Level Spirit Beast Crystal Core, Exaggerated Bargaining! Chapter 37 King-Level Spirit Beast Crystal Core, Exaggerated Bargaining! Candlefire City. In the depths of the black market, Bai Zian and Qiao Gubai stood before a small stall. At this moment, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes glimmered slightly as he quietly observed a gilded, diamond-shaped crystal on display. Truth be told, this crystal bore a striking resemblance to the Candlefire Spider core he had obtained earlier, differing only in color. Anyone with sharp perception could tell that this was the core of some spirit beast. The only difference was that this particular core was damaged. One of its edges had a conspicuous crack, and there was almost no energy fluctuation coming from it. It was clearly a defective product. Spirit beast cores were valuable objects that contained the imprint of the beast¡¯s original skills. If one were lucky, a similar type of spirit beast might learn the skills that the core¡¯s original owner had mastered during its life. For example, the mutated Candlefire Spider leader that Bai Zian had killed earlier possessed the blue skill Molten Spider Silk. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If Bai Zian gave the core of that spider leader to another fire-type spirit beast, there was a chance that the latter could gain that skill. This was one method by which spirit beasts could learn skills. However, this only applied to complete cores. Once a core became damaged, the possibility of comprehending a skill from it would diminish significantly. For this reason, damaged cores were worth far less. This was precisely why previous customers hadn¡¯t even glanced at the golden core. But Bai Zian, his gaze fixed on the damaged core, was different. His [Eye of Revelation] ability granted him an insight: [Red Flame Phoenix Core: Core of a King-level spirit beast, the Red Flame Phoenix. Due to its prolonged existence and damage, the essence within has severely dissipated.][Remaining Skill Imprint: Heavenly Meteor Fall (Purple)] ¡°A King-level spirit beast¡¯s core, and its remaining skill imprint is even a purple-tier skill? This is incredibly rare,¡± Bai Zian murmured to himself in astonishment. ¡°How could such a treasure exist in the black market of a small city like this?¡± ¡°Qiao Gubai¡¯s luck is truly paying off.¡± he mused internally, his eyes reflecting a trace of shock. He hadn¡¯t expected the damaged core to belong to a King-level spirit beast. Letting Qiao Gubai guide him here had turned out to be a wise decision. Her extraordinary luck really did bring unexpected rewards. This was precisely what Bai Zian had mentioned before¡ªinnate talents depended on how they were used; one couldn¡¯t solely focus on their downsides. The more unique the talent, the greater the value it could bring. The events over the past few days had proven this. As long as the correct methods were employed, Qiao Gubai¡¯s special ability could produce tremendous results. Of course, that was a matter for later. Bai Zian¡¯s current focus was on the golden core. ¡°I can¡¯t miss out on such a treasure,¡± Bai Zian murmured. Although he didn¡¯t have any fire-type spirit beasts at the moment, and this core was damaged, the fact that it was the core of a King-level spirit beast, and still held a purple-tier skill, made it extremely valuable. If he didn¡¯t acquire it, Bai Zian would definitely regret it. Setting aside everything else, the mere fact that this core once belonged to a King-level spirit beast made it a valuable object, even if it was broken. With this thought in mind, Bai Zian had already made up his mind. ¡°You¡¯ve got a good eye, young man. This core is a top-tier treasure, a family heirloom,¡± the stall owner began, seeing Bai Zian¡¯s interest. ¡°My great-great-great-great-grandfather once ventured to Candlefire Mountain and witnessed a divine bird, blazing with red light and engulfed in sacred flames, descend into the volcano. This very core was left behind by that divine bird. To be honest, it¡¯s likely from a Diamond-level spirit beast.¡± ¡°If you want it, I¡¯ll reluctantly part with it for a mere 90 million Jiuzhou coins,¡± the stall owner continued enthusiastically, trying to sell the core. Bai Zian was a bit speechless. However, the stall owner had accidentally gotten one thing right: the so-called ¡°divine bird¡± he mentioned was indeed the Red Flame Phoenix. It seemed that his ancestor had indeed been fortunate enough to stumble upon this core by chance. ¡°Boss, do I look like a sucker to you?¡± Bai Zian smirked. ¡°This core is broken and doesn¡¯t even have any energy fluctuations. Even if I bought it, it¡¯d just be a decoration. Honestly, I only want it because it looks nice, and I think it¡¯ll make a great ornament. How about this¡ªif you¡¯re willing, I¡¯ll take it for 9,000 Jiuzhou coins.¡± The stall owner was stunned, his face full of disbelief. The stall owner¡¯s face turned green. ¡°Ahem, young man, you have quite the sense of humor. How about we both be reasonable¡ª90,000?¡± The stall owner forced a smile, trying to close the deal. He really wanted to make this sale; after all, the core had been sitting at his stall for a long time, and this was his best chance to finally sell it. However, Bai Zian simply shook his head, indicating that the damaged core wasn¡¯t worth that price. With no other choice, the stall owner continued to lower the price. After several rounds of bargaining, they finally settled on a price of 100,000 Jiuzhou coins. ¡°One hundred thousand Jiuzhou coins, that¡¯s my bottom line. If you agree, it¡¯s yours,¡± the stall owner said helplessly. ¡°Deal,¡± Bai Zian smiled, not pressing any further. The value of a Black Iron-level spirit beast¡¯s core was around 100,000 Jiuzhou coins, and this was indeed the stall owner¡¯s bottom price. So, Bai Zian didn¡¯t push the price lower. With the deal settled, the King-level spirit beast¡¯s Red Flame Phoenix core was about to fall into Bai Zian¡¯s hands. However, just at that moment, something unexpected happened. Chapter 38 - Let Me Show You What It Means to Bully Others With Power! Chapter 38 Let Me Show You What It Means to Bully Others With Power! ¡°Wait, I¡¯m interested in this crystal core too.¡± ¡°Hey there, brother, how about you let me have this crystal core? I¡¯ll offer two hundred thousand.¡± Just as Bai Zian was about to make the deal with the stall owner, a voice came from behind him. Bai Zian frowned slightly, a cold look flashing across his face. He was finally about to acquire the crystal core of the Red Phoenix, but someone was trying to interfere. Bai Zian turned slightly to look in the direction of the voice. It was then that Bai Zian saw the person who had called out. A skinny man in his twenties, with a floating gait that immediately gave away his indulgence in excess. However, despite his appearance, the man exuded the aura of an early-stage Black Iron Beast Tamer. A mere Black Iron-level Beast Tamer at his age, clearly his talent wasn¡¯t anything extraordinary. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But the fact that he chose to interrupt just as Bai Zian was about to close the deal was quite excessive. ¡°Friend, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being a bit too much?¡± Bai Zian said calmly while looking at the skinny Beast Tamer in front of him. ¡°Too much? I don¡¯t think so. The owner hasn¡¯t sold you the crystal core yet, so naturally, I have the right to buy it.¡± ¡°Besides, as a Beast Tamer, you wouldn¡¯t be incapable of paying a mere two hundred thousand, right?¡± ¡°As the nephew of the mayor of Candlefire City, I care greatly about the residents¡¯ well-being.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re interested, I could even introduce you to a job to help you earn more money.¡± The skinny Beast Tamer chuckled, feigning politeness as he spoke. However, his eyes kept wandering toward Qiao Gubai, who was standing behind Bai Zian, clearly distracted. Bai Zian noticed all of this. At this point, Bai Zian fully understood. This skinny Beast Master wasn¡¯t really after the crystal core; he was more interested in Qiao Gubai. That¡¯s why he deliberately raised the price, hoping to get her attention. It was such a childish tactic that Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit speechless. He never expected that something as trivial as romantic rivalry would involve him. However, Bai Zian was beginning to get angry. And when Bai Zian got angry, the consequences would be severe. ¡°You just said you¡¯re the mayor¡¯s nephew?¡± Bai Zian¡¯s eyes darkened as he looked at the skinny Beast Tamer. Now that Bai Zian was angry, someone was going to pay the price. But for that to happen, he needed to know the other person¡¯s identity. Otherwise, how would he even begin to exact his revenge? Fortunately, the other man wasn¡¯t very bright and had already revealed his identity earlier. ¡°That¡¯s right. The mayor of Candlefire City is my uncle.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not one to bully others with my status. We¡¯ll compete fairly. As long as your bid is higher than mine, you can have the crystal core.¡± The skinny Beast Tamer acted high and mighty, deliberately repeating his connection to the mayor in front of Qiao Gubai. As the mayor¡¯s nephew, he practically had free rein in Candlefire City. But to leave a good impression on the beauty, he made sure not to appear too overbearing. ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll let you have this crystal core.¡± ¡°But I believe, sooner or later, you¡¯ll obediently deliver it to me.¡± Bai Zian said calmly, showing no desire to compete with the skinny Beast Tamer. Then, without looking back, he took Qiao Gubai and left. The entire process left the skinny Beast Tamer completely dumbfounded. ¡°What just happened? Did that guy not even have the intention to compete?¡± The skinny Beast Tamer was bewildered. But to his surprise, Bai Zian didn¡¯t even bother to bid and simply left with Qiao Gubai, leaving him no time to react. In reality, Bai Zian had no interest in such clich¨¦ tactics. Frankly, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t interested in that kind of nonsense. Those methods were too low-level. Sometimes, you don¡¯t need to act personally or resort to violence to teach someone a lesson. Bai Zian had a better solution. In terms of background and status, within the entire territory of Bai Lin City, his family was the most powerful. After all, his grandfather was the Lord of Bai Lin City, a Diamond-ranked Beast Tamer. Compared to that, what was a mere nephew of the mayor of Candlefire City? That¡¯s why Bai Zian opted for a much simpler approach: going directly to the mayor¡¯s residence. He wanted to ask the mayor of Candlefire City where his nephew got the audacity to try to steal from him. This was Bai Zian¡¯s plan. Soon, Bai Zian arrived at the mayor¡¯s residence in Candlefire City. Unlike before, Bai Zian was now accompanied by a cold figure wearing a mask ¡ª Bai Zhi, the one responsible for his protection. Since Bai Zian was here to stir trouble, he wouldn¡¯t come alone and had naturally brought Bai Zhi along. Before long, Bai Zian met the mayor of Candlefire City, a somewhat portly middle-aged man. ¡°So, it¡¯s Young Master Bai! I never thought our humble Candlefire City would have the fortune of your esteemed visit.¡± As the mayor of a small city under Bai Lin City¡¯s jurisdiction, he was no stranger to the Bai family. He had met Bai Zian once before in Bai Lin City, so it wasn¡¯t surprising that he recognized him instantly. However, Bai Zian¡¯s face was cold, showing no friendliness towards the mayor of Candlefire City. After all, this time, Bai Zian was here to flaunt the airs of a spoiled young master. And as a spoiled young master, he naturally had to have a temper. How could he give the mayor of Candlefire City a pleasant expression? ¡°Mayor of Candlefire City, your authority sure runs deep. Even your nephew dares to bully me.¡± Bai Zian said icily, his voice filled with coldness. At that moment, the mayor¡¯s face changed drastically, a trace of panic appearing on his face. Chapter 39 - The Little Dandy Meets the Big Dandy, the King-Level Crystal Core Is Obtained! Chapter 39 The Little Dandy Meets the Big Dandy, the King-Level Crystal Core Is Obtained!Candlefire City, Mayor¡¯s Mansion An old man hurried toward the mayor¡¯s mansion, accompanied by a skinny Black Iron Beast Tamer. The skinny, unsteady figure was none other than the young Beast Tamer who had intercepted Bai Zian moments ago. ¡°Steward Li, why did my uncle summon me?¡± the skinny beast tamer asked, perplexed. Moments earlier, the steward had demanded he rush to the mayor¡¯s mansion without delay, leaving him both confused and displeased. After all, he had intended to pursue the beautiful woman he¡¯d just encountered, and now he was being called away. ¡°I¡¯ll explain when you arrive.¡± the steward replied quickly, knowing little himself. The mayor¡¯s grim expression when issuing the order had told him enough: trouble awaited the young man. When the skinny Beast Tamer arrived at the mansion¡¯s hall, his eyes lit up. The young man who had just competed with him was there. This meant another chance to see that beauty again. But soon his joy turned to dread. The young man sat in the primary seat, while his uncle, the mayor, stood beside him, not daring to sit. ¡°I¡¯ve messed up big time!¡± The skinny Beast Tamer¡¯s face turned pale. His mind raced¡ªwho was this man with such terrifying background that even his powerful uncle wouldn¡¯t dare act? Worse, he¡¯d just offended him. ¡°Get over here!¡± the mayor bellowed, glaring at his nephew. The skinny Beast Tamer, face now crestfallen, slunk toward the mayor. ¡°You wretched brat! How dare you use my name to cause trouble outside! Today, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother!¡± the mayor roared, directly pulling out a vine rod from somewhere and whipping it hard across the skinny Beast Tamer¡¯s back. This wasn¡¯t Bai Zian¡¯s demand. It was the mayor¡¯s initiative to discipline his nephew for leveraging his influence. Normally, he could shield his nephew from minor issues, but this time the brat had gone too far, targeting Bai Zian of all people. Bai Zian wasn¡¯t just anyone; he was the grandson of Bai Jingchong, the Diamond-ranked Beast Tamer and lord of Bai Lin City, to which Candlefire City was a mere subordinate. Offending Bai Jingchong could spell disaster for Candlefire City. Worse, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t even sought trouble¡ªhis nephew had. So, the mayor¡¯s fury grew with every lash. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Cries of agony filled the room, but Bai Zian remained impassive, showing no sign of intervention. After some time, the mayor stopped, pulling a gilded, incomplete energy core from his nephew¡¯s belongings. ¡°Young Master Bai, is this the one you were after?¡± the mayor asked, holding out the core with great reverence. Bai Zian gave a small nod, then glanced at the groaning Beast Tamer on the floor. ¡°I told you, you would deliver it to me.¡± With that, Bai Zian calmly pocketed the core. He¡¯d initially intended to buy it, but now it seemed unnecessary. ¡°Take care of yourself,¡± Bai Zian said as he stood to leave. His business was done. ¡°Allow me to see you off.¡± the mayor hurried to say, grabbing a backpack stuffed with energy cores and beast materials. The compensation, a peace offering, showed through the seams. He hoped Bai Zian wouldn¡¯t hold a grudge against him or Candlefire City. Bai Zian accepted the offering without hesitation. After all, he¡¯d come to flex his power¡ªaccepting a gift was hardly inappropriate. With the mayor escorting him, Bai Zian slowly departed. Once Bai Zian was out of sight, the mayor returned to the hall, where his nephew still lay groaning in pain. The mayor muttered angrily. ¡°I¡¯ve spoiled you too much, and now look where it¡¯s gotten you.¡± ¡°This time you should learn your lesson.¡± ¡°Uncle, who was that man?¡± the skinny Beast Tamer moaned, barely able to speak through his pain. ¡°Forget any thoughts of revenge. He¡¯s someone you can¡¯t afford to offend. If you dare think about getting even, I¡¯ll cripple you myself.¡± The mayor¡¯s face darkened as he thought his nephew might still hold a grudge. That could spell disaster. ¡°No, you¡¯re going to the military barracks for training. You won¡¯t leave until I say so.¡± The skinny Beast Tamer¡¯s face turned white in horror. He was far too weak to endure such hardship. All because of one careless question, he¡¯d brought this fate upon himself. Now, there was no escape. Thus, the military barracks of Candlefire City gained one very miserable new recruit. Chapter 40 - Returning to Bai Lin City, Bai Jingchong Is Shocked! Chapter 40 Returning to Bai Lin City, Bai Jingchong Is Shocked!The skinny beast tamer was sent to the military camp for training by the mayor of Candlefire City. Bai Zian knew nothing about these events, nor did he have any interest in them. To him, it was merely a small episode. After successfully retrieving the incomplete king-level crystal core and teaching the skinny beast tamer a lesson, Bai Zian left the mayor¡¯s residence. At this moment, Bai Zian had arrived at the train station in Candlefire City. It was time for him to return to Bai Lin City. After a short while, a spirit beast in the shape of a centipede, with a body as strong as steel and blade-like toes, slowly entered the station. It was the Thousand Blade Centipede Train. The train¡¯s destination was none other than Bai Lin City. With this in mind, Bai Zian boarded the Thousand Blade Centipede Train along with Qiao Gubai. This time, Bai Zian¡¯s seat wasn¡¯t in the regular compartment but in a private one. After all, his training was over, and there was no need to travel the same way as before. ¡°When we arrive in Bai Lin City, Sister Bai Zhi will help you handle all the paperwork,¡± Bai Zian said to Qiao Gubai. ¡°In the meantime, focus on bonding with your mutated Candlefire Spider cub.¡± It was still summer break, and there was some time left before school started. This gave him the opportunity to resolve Qiao Gubai¡¯s matters once and for all. Of course, Bai Zian didn¡¯t need to handle everything personally; he could delegate the tasks to others. He also specifically instructed Bai Zhi to limit Qiao Gubai¡¯s interaction with members of the Bai family. Her fortune-related talent was extraordinary, and if mishandled, it could cause problems. Thus, minimizing her contact with ordinary people could help prevent potential issues. On another note, the mutated Candlefire Spider egg she had contracted had successfully hatched after a few days of incubation. As a result, Qiao Gubai¡¯s pet beast officially became the mutated Candlefire Spider. She was overjoyed by this development, her face glowing with happiness throughout the journey. Bai Zian felt a bit helpless but didn¡¯t say much. The rest of the trip passed without incident. Though some insignificant spirit beasts attempted to attack the Thousand Blade Centipede Train, they were no match for a gold-level train like this. Under such circumstances, the train smoothly arrived at Bai Lin City. ¡°We¡¯re finally back. It feels different,¡± Bai Zian said with a touch of emotion as he gazed at the familiar city. This training session had lasted longer than expected¡ªover twenty days, nearly a month. The extended time left Bai Zian somewhat reflective but he headed home without delay. As for Qiao Gubai, she was no longer with Bai Zian, having been taken by Bai Zhi to handle her affairs. Soon after, Bai Zian returned to the Lord¡¯s Mansion. ¡°Young Master Zian has returned!¡± The moment the servants saw him enter, they were overjoyed and rushed to inform the rest of the household. Before long, Bai Zian¡¯s parents arrived home. ¡°Back from training? Not bad, you seem to have grown,¡± his father said with a slight nod. Though he looked stern, there was a hint of joy in his eyes. Clearly, he was pleased to see Bai Zian return safely. ¡°Xiao An, you¡¯ve gotten a tan! Going out on your own was so dangerous,¡± his mother, Lu Caiyun said with her heart aching as she saw how tired Bai Zian looked. Bai Zian had always lived a life of luxury, and now that he had spent so much time outdoors, she couldn¡¯t help but worry about how much he had endured. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine, and I¡¯ve made significant gains,¡± Bai Zian said, feeling a bit helpless. ¡°But let me clean up first, and then I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡± Bai Chengzhi and Lu Caiyun both nodded in agreement. Lu Caiyun even ordered the kitchen staff to prepare a feast of Bai Zian¡¯s favorite dishes. After cleaning up and enjoying a meal, Bai Zian began recounting his experiences during the training. Of course, he left out the more dangerous and unusual details, knowing that if he told his mother too much, she would only worry. It wasn¡¯t until much later that his family learned the full extent of his experiences, leaving them shocked. They hadn¡¯t expected him to go through so much during this training. Nevertheless, they were overjoyed that Bai Zian had returned safely. Just then, Bai Zhi returned and approached Bai Zian. ¡°Young Master Zian, the Lord has sent word requesting your presence,¡± Bai Zhi said. Bai Jingchong, the city lord, had heard about Bai Zian¡¯s return but was tied up with work, so he asked Bai Zian to come to him. ¡°Got it.¡± Bai Zian replied with a slight nod. After informing his parents, he made his way to where Bai Jingchong was. As the lord of a city, the Lord¡¯s Mansion was merely the Bai family¡¯s residence, but the real office was elsewhere. In the very center of Bai Lin City stood a grand building, which was the true administrative hub. Before long, Bai Zian arrived at the office and stood before Bai Jingchong. ¡°You¡¯re back, Xiao An. How did the training go?¡± Bai Jingchong asked, a trace of a smile in his eyes. To be honest, while Bai Zian had been away, Bai Jingchong had a general idea of what had happened. After all, the security team would report the major events that occurred during Bai Zian¡¯s absence. When Bai Jingchong learned of Bai Zian¡¯s experiences, he was quite surprised. Bai Zian¡¯s rapid growth had far exceeded his expectations. It had only been a month since Bai Zian contracted the Bai Scaled Fish, yet in that short time, it had advanced to the ninth rank of the unclassified level. With just one more step, Bai Zian would reach the Black Iron rank, officially becoming a Black Iron beast tamer. Such growth was truly astonishing. For comparison, high school students in Rock Mine City typically spent an entire year reaching only the fifth or sixth rank of the unclassified level. It would take them until their third year, or even graduation, to reach the Black Iron rank. While others took around three years to achieve this, Bai Zian had accomplished it in less than a month. Bai Jingchong was naturally amazed. But what surprised him most was Bai Zian¡¯s actual combat strength.

Chapter 41 The Mutual Benefit of the Family Model, Bai Jingchong¡¯s Emphasis!The report submitted by the Protection Team mentioned that Bai Zian successfully eliminated a Bronze-level mutated leader of the Candlefire Spider. When Bai Jingchong saw this, he was immediately shocked. According to the description in the report, Bai Linyu at that time should only have had the power of an unranked eighth level. Yet, with the strength of an unranked eighth level, it directly crossed the large gap of Black Iron level and killed the Bronze-level mutated Candlefire Spider leader. Such an increase in combat strength was truly exaggerated. Though this was partly because Bai Linyu¡¯s water-based skills significantly restrained the fire-based mutated Candlefire Spider leader. However, even with an advantage in attributes, it shouldn¡¯t be possible to cross such a large gap in power and fight like that. Because of this, Bai Jingchong was eager to see Bai Zian. ¡°Xiao An, summon your Bai Linyu and let Grandpa take a look.¡± Thinking of this, Bai Jingchong said to Bai Zian. Bai Zian naturally had no objections and directly summoned Bai Linyu. When Bai Linyu, far larger than its peers, was summoned by Bai Zian, Bai Jingchong couldn¡¯t help but take notice. Indeed, Bai Linyu had stepped into the unranked ninth level. Moreover, Bai Jingchong could sense that the energy contained within Bai Linyu was far beyond its peers. Even some Black Iron-level spirit beasts couldn¡¯t compare to it. Bai Zian had truly found a treasure. At the time, out of the few spirit beast eggs brought out by the Red-eyed Golden-scaled Fish, only this particular egg seemed the worst. Yet Bai Zian insisted on taking that one. Now, it seemed that Bai Zian¡¯s choice was the right one. As expected, the effects of the S-rank talent [Super Intuition] were truly astonishing, bringing Bai Zian extraordinary results. With this in mind, Bai Jingchong thought it would be better to let Bai Zian take full control of Bai Linyu¡¯s evolution. For a moment, Bai Jingchong fell into deep thought. Yes, Bai Jingchong had not forgotten about Bai Zian¡¯s request to prepare materials for Bai Linyu¡¯s evolution. Although Bai Jingchong had already agreed to it, in his mind, he planned to have a serious talk with Bai Zian once he returned, hoping to persuade him not to take any risks. After all, matters related to the evolution chain were extremely important. An unpredictable path of evolution was fraught with danger. But now, seeing Bai Zian¡¯s choices and how he nurtured Bai Linyu, Bai Jingchong hesitated. Bai Zian¡¯s S-rank [Super Intuition] was profound. With the help of this talent, perhaps Bai Zian could forge a completely new path. Maybe Bai Linyu could surpass its mother, exceed the Diamond level, and step into the Purple-crystal rank. This was Bai Jingchong¡¯s thought. With that in mind, Bai Jingchong had already made up his mind. Bai Zian didn¡¯t know that after seeing Bai Linyu¡¯s situation, Bai Jingchong had decided not to interfere in the evolution matter. For now, Bai Zian remained unaware, still discussing his training. ¡°By the way, Grandpa, these two spirit beast eggs are descendants of the mutated Candlefire Spider leader. If properly nurtured, they might produce a brand-new species of spider spirit beasts.¡± Bai Zian took out the two mutated Candlefire Spider eggs and handed them to Bai Jingchong. Although these two spirit beast eggs were valuable, Bai Zian didn¡¯t intend to keep them for himself. He planned to leave them for the family. On the one hand, these eggs would be more useful in the Bai family. On the other hand, Bai Zian didn¡¯t lack resources. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whatever resources he needed, the Bai family would provide for him. Throughout his growth, Bai Zian had received immense support from the Bai family. So, when it came time to give back to the family, Bai Zian didn¡¯t hesitate. This was the mutual support inherent in the family system. Bai Jingchong didn¡¯t refuse and accepted the two mutated Candlefire Spider eggs, planning to hand them to the Bai family¡¯s nurturers to see if they could develop a new industrial chain. ¡°By the way, I heard from Bai Zhi that while you were at Candlefire Mountain, you recruited a female high school student from Mining Rock City?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so special about that girl that made you pay so much attention to her?¡± Bai Jingchong seemed to recall something and asked about Bai Zian¡¯s recruitment of Qiao Gubai. Aside from Bai Linyu¡¯s evolution, the matter that most intrigued Bai Jingchong was Bai Zian¡¯s recruitment of Qiao Gubai. He was curious why Bai Zian suddenly recruited a newcomer, and one without a significant rank at that. If that were the case, as his grandfather, he wouldn¡¯t mind helping Bai Zian set things up. After all, whether the Bai family could flourish for generations depended on whether Bai Zian could continue the family line. ¡°Grandpa, where are you going with this?¡± Bai Zian looked at Bai Jingchong speechlessly. Seeing his expression, Bai Zian immediately knew that Grandpa had misunderstood, thinking that he recruited Qiao Gubai because of her looks. ¡°I recruited Qiao Gubai for a special reason.¡± ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t underestimate her; her talent is quite astonishing.¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, her talent should be an S-rank mysterious talent, [Luck Convergence].¡± Bai Zian spoke slowly, revealing Qiao Gubai¡¯s secret. As soon as he said this, Bai Jingchong¡¯s face changed dramatically. ¡°Xiao An, are you sure about this? An S-rank talent? And one related to mysterious fate manipulation?¡± Bai Jingchong¡¯s expression grew extremely serious. An S-rank talent, mysterious, fate-related. Any one of these terms would be enough to command Bai Jingchong¡¯s full attention. To think that all these terms applied to one person. If this was true, then he would do whatever it took to keep Qiao Gubai in the Bai family. ¡°Ninety percent sure. When I first met her on the Thousand Blade Centipede Train, I had a premonition.¡± ¡°Afterward, I had Elder Sister Bai Shao investigate her background.¡± ¡°After reviewing her details, I¡¯m almost certain¡­¡± Bai Zian nodded, slowly explaining Qiao Gubai¡¯s situation. He couldn¡¯t reveal the secrets he had learned through the [Eye of Revelation], so he had to come up with another reason. Luckily, his special S-rank talent [Super Intuition], which was connected to instinct and foresight, was the perfect cover for this. Chapter 42 - Preparing Evolutionary Materials, the Special Usage of the Awakening Origin Stone! Chapter 42 Preparing Evolutionary Materials, the Special Usage of the Awakening Origin Stone!¡°Who would have thought that Bai Lin City would harbor such talent?¡± ¡°Fortunately, your unique ability led us to her, or we would have missed out on such talent.¡± Upon learning about Qiao Gubai¡¯s situation, Bai Jingchong sighed with emotion. He hadn¡¯t expected such a twist behind the matter. However, it was indeed the case. After all, luck as a talent was far too elusive. Even if Qiao Gubai awakened this ability, if Bai Zian hadn¡¯t accidentally discovered it, it would likely have faded into obscurity, ultimately being forgotten. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But now, things were different. With the Bai family nurturing Qiao Gubai, she might grow into a powerful Beast Tamer. Perhaps, in the distant future, Qiao Gubai could even become a trump card for the Bai family. Thinking of this, Bai Jingchong had already made up his mind to allocate some resources to cultivate Qiao Gubai. ¡°By the way, Xiao An, you haven¡¯t told anyone else about Qiao Gubai¡¯s talent, right?¡± Seemingly recalling something, Bai Jingchong asked Bai Zian. Qiao Gubai¡¯s special attribute was her talent, and this ability could either be a major asset or a source of trouble. If word got out, it could invite unnecessary complications. ¡°No, I haven¡¯t, and I won¡¯t reveal it to anyone.¡± Bai Zian shook his head. He fully understood the importance of this matter and naturally wouldn¡¯t let it slip. In fact, besides Bai Jingchong, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t told a third person. He hadn¡¯t even shared the information with his own parents. After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Only then did Bai Jingchong feel relieved. Of course, Bai Zian didn¡¯t forget to inform Bai Jingchong about the specifics of Qiao Gubai¡¯s talent. Once these matters were resolved, Qiao Gubai¡¯s situation was put to rest, for the time being. ¡°The evolution materials you mentioned before¡ªI¡¯ve already gathered them for you; they¡¯re all in the family¡¯s treasure vault.¡± ¡°But remember, when it comes to evolving the White-scaled Fish, don¡¯t rush it.¡± Bai Jingchong brought up the topic of the White-scaled Fish¡¯s evolution. This time, he didn¡¯t say much, only advising Bai Zian to take his time and not be overly hasty. ¡°Understood, Grandpa.¡± Bai Zian was a bit surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected Bai Jingchong to refrain from lecturing him. This puzzled Bai Zian, but he didn¡¯t dwell on it, simply expressing his gratitude before taking his leave to return home. All the trivial matters were now handled, and it was time to focus on preparing the White-scaled Fish for its evolution. As for the ruckus Bai Zian caused in Candlefire City, including his confrontation with that scrawny Beast Tamer, Bai Jingchong didn¡¯t even bring it up. To him, such matters were insignificant¡ªa mere trifle. In this, the grandfather and grandson shared a mutual understanding. Soon, Bai Zian left the office and returned to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. However, instead of going straight to his room, he headed to the lake behind the villa and summoned the White-scaled Fish. ¡°White-scaled Fish, you stay here for a while and rest up.¡± Bai Zian spoke to the White-scaled Fish. Before its evolution, Bai Zian also needed some preparation. This was a good opportunity to let the White-scaled Fish rest by its mother¡¯s side for a few days. The White-scaled Fish was quite pleased with this. Afterward, Bai Zian left the lake, returned to the villa, and headed to the underground treasure vault. ¡°The heart of the White Shadow Whale, the Frost Ink Fur, Bai Yunliu, White Bone Armor¡­ In such a short time, all the materials have been gathered.¡± ¡°Perfect! Now, as soon as the refining process is complete, the White-scaled Fish¡¯s evolution can begin.¡± Bai Zian muttered in delight. The Bai family truly lived up to its reputation as the foremost family in Bai Lin City, having quickly gathered all the materials he needed. This filled Bai Zian with joy. However, evolving the White-scaled Fish wasn¡¯t as simple as merely collecting all the materials and piling them in front of the fish. The process also required refining some auxiliary materials into a special elixir. Finally, the White-scaled Fish would need to be placed in a pool of this elixir, combined with the heart of the White Shadow Whale and other main materials, to complete its evolution. That was the evolution process for the White-scaled Fish. Thus, Bai Zian had said it would take some time to prepare. Naturally, Bai Zian had no intention of entrusting this critical task to the Bai family¡¯s trainers. To him, the evolution of the White-scaled Fish was of utmost importance, and he wouldn¡¯t tolerate any mistakes. With this in mind, Bai Zian moved all the materials into an empty room. He ordered Bai Zhi and Bai Shao to stand guard outside, ensuring no one would approach and maintaining secrecy. Once that was settled, Bai Zian began the process of crafting the elixir. Although he hadn¡¯t done this before, with the assistance of the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian could perfectly control the process. After spending some time, Bai Zian finally completed the task. ¡°Now, we just need to wait a day for the elixir to fully form, and then the White-scaled Fish¡¯s evolution can proceed.¡± Bai Zian murmured to himself. This was the perfect opportunity to take a well-deserved rest. However, despite his words, Bai Zian didn¡¯t actually rest. Instead, he started organizing the gains from his trip to Candlefire City. This time, Bai Zian had made several gains. First, the White-scaled Fish had broken through to the ninth tier of unranked beasts, which was an obvious achievement. Second, he had obtained various items from the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, including its core and a special Awakening Origin Stone. Third, he had acquired a fragment of a king-level beast¡¯s core from the black market in Candlefire City. These were Bai Zian¡¯s main gains. While he couldn¡¯t use the beast cores for now, his attention was drawn to the Awakening Source Stone. ¡°How should I deal with this Awakening Source Stone? Should I let the White-scaled Fish awaken another talent?¡± Bai Zian fell into deep thought, pondering this question. Chapter 43 - Method to Awaken the Second Beast Taming Talent, S~Sss Level Talent! Chapter 43 Method to Awaken the Second Beast Taming Talent, S~Sss Level Talent!He obtained this awakening origin stone from the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, but how should he use it? This was a question that required careful consideration. Judging from the current situation, Bai Zian seemingly had only one option, and that was to use it on the White-scaled Fish. After all, Bai Zian currently only had this one contracted beast, the White-scaled Fish. However, once the White-scaled Fish evolves and breaks through to the Iron level, Bai Zian will be able to contract a second beast. At that time, Bai Zian could give the awakening origin stone to his second beast. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was the reason for Bai Zian¡¯s hesitation. He was pondering how to make the most of the benefits. ¡°Speaking of which, humans can also awaken beast-taming talents. So, could this awakening origin stone allow me to awaken a second beast-taming talent?¡± A flash of inspiration came to Bai Zian, and he suddenly voiced this thought. Upon careful reflection, the purpose of the awakening origin stone was to help living beings awaken new talents. This ability was very similar to the Awakening Divine Stone of the Jiuzhou Federation, also known as the Seed of the Ancient Tree of Life. On the other hand, there was a saying among humans. That was, humans were actually a kind of spiritual beast. After all, spiritual beasts possessed various talents, and humans could also awaken beast-taming talents. There seemed to be little difference between the two. What¡¯s more, both human beast-taming talents and spiritual beast talents were evaluated using the same system. Both were judged on a scale from F to SSS. So, Bai Zian was considering a question. If this speculation could be realized, it would be an incredible breakthrough. A brand-new beast-taming talent would undoubtedly bring Bai Zian tremendous help. After all, Bai Zian could use his beast-taming talents to enhance his contracted beasts. If he gains a new beast-taming talent, it means that his beasts will have an additional talent. It could be said that this would be the way to maximize benefits. However, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t sure whether this bold idea could be realized. ¡°If I want to know if I can use it on myself, that¡¯s easy. I can just ask the [Eye of Revelation].¡± Bai Zian muttered to himself. To know the answer, this was almost a no-brainer for Bai Zian. He could simply use his [Eye of Revelation] talent. After all, the [Eye of Revelation] had the pseudo-omniscient ability. Whenever Bai Zian had doubts, he could always get an answer. With this thought, Bai Zian activated the [Eye of Revelation] while silently pondering this question in his mind. In less than a second, a message appeared before Bai Zian¡¯s eyes. [You are researching a method to use the awakening origin stone to awaken a new beast-taming talent and have received enlightenment from Heaven¡¯s Insight.][Method 1: Carry the awakening origin stone with you, and after a period of time, there is a certain probability of awakening an F to D level talent (usable once a year).][Method 2: Embed the awakening origin stone directly into your body, and there is a certain probability of awakening a C to A level talent (usable once every five years).][Method 3: Use the awakening origin stone as the primary material, along with supporting items like Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears to make awakening origin liquid. After soaking for a day and a night, there is a certain probability of awakening an S to SSS level talent (currently usable).] ¡°As expected, my idea is feasible! The awakening origin stone can indeed help me awaken a second beast-taming talent.¡± ¡°Moreover, depending on how the awakening origin stone is used, the awakened second beast-taming talent will vary greatly.¡± Seeing the prompt from the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. When using the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian had a small strategy. He directly asked the [Eye of Revelation] how to use the awakening origin stone to help himself awaken a second talent. If the answer was ¡°no,¡± it would mean that the awakening origin stone couldn¡¯t be used on humans. If it answered with options, then it would mean that awakening a second beast-taming talent for humans was possible. Moreover, Bai Zian could directly get all the answers without having to ask multiple times. As it turns out, his idea was correct. Not only did he get an answer, but he also obtained several options. ¡°There are three methods, and the mutated Candlefire Spider leader probably used the second method.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fortunate it used the second method. Otherwise, the awakening origin stone would have completely disappeared.''¡± Bai Zian studied each option and muttered to himself. The mutated Candlefire Spider leader likely swallowed the awakening origin stone by chance, creating a situation similar to the second method. Because of this, the leader of the mutated Candlefire Spiders awakened the B-level talent of Lava Body. Only afterward was Bai Zian able to obtain the awakening origin stone. As for Bai Zian¡¯s choice, there was no need for further thought. With the possibility of awakening an S to SSS level talent, how could he settle for lower-level talents? Bai Zian deeply understood the benefits of a powerful talent. The advantages brought by his Mythical-level talent were something Bai Zian felt profoundly. Therefore, given the opportunity to awaken an S to SSS level talent, there¡¯s no way he would choose anything else. Even though awakening an S to SSS level talent requires the consumption of an awakening origin stone. Yes, awakening an S to SSS level talent would consume an awakening origin stone. According to the prompt, during the production of the awakening origin liquid, the awakening origin stone must be dissolved. Once dissolved, it could no longer be used. In other words, when awakening an S to SSS level talent, the awakening origin stone becomes a consumable item. If one was only satisfied with a lower-level talent, then the awakening origin stone could be preserved. Just like the situation with the mutated Candlefire Spider leader. It used the second method. Therefore, the awakening origin stone didn¡¯t disappear; it simply stayed within its body. After Bai Zian killed the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, he was able to retrieve the awakening origin stone. To be honest, for a family, the first or second methods would be more practical. These could allow most family members to awaken a second talent. However, after careful consideration, Bai Zian decided not to use these methods. On one hand, he was determined to obtain a second S to SSS level talent. On the other hand, if he helps his family awaken second talents, it might reveal the existence of the awakening origin stone. At that time, it could cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. After all, Bai Zian was well aware of how precious the awakening origin stone was. He wasn¡¯t confident that if the awakening origin stone¡¯s existence were to be exposed, he could still keep it. Chapter 44 - The Grade of the Material, Diamond-Level Resources! Chapter 44 The Grade of the Material, Diamond-Level Resources! Moreover, using the first or second method required a cooldown period of one or five years after use. In other words, if Bai Zian used the awakening origin stone to help his family awaken a new talent, he won¡¯t be able to awaken a second talent for himself anytime soon. As for the reason behind this, Bai Zian could more or less guess. Perhaps the use of the awakening origin stone requires time to accumulate energy. However, this period was simply too long for Bai Zian. Thinking this through, Bai Zian had already made up his mind. This time, he had to be selfish and keep the awakening origin stone for himself. However, if he grew strong enough in the future and had the opportunity to obtain a second awakening origin stone, he would gladly use it for his family. ¡°But, the materials needed to make the awakening origin liquid seem quite rare.¡± Bai Zian muttered to himself, pondering the materials required to create the awakening origin liquid. The other materials were easier to obtain, but the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears seemed to be particularly rare. Based on the level of spiritual beasts, these materials were at least of the Diamond grade. Yes, resources and materials are also categorized by grades. The ranking of materials corresponded to the levels of spiritual beasts. After all, many special resources or materials come from spiritual beasts. Judging the grade of materials based on the strength of spiritual beasts was the best method. As for the awakening origin stone in Bai Zian¡¯s possession, it was at least above the King level, perhaps even at the Epic level. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Back to the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears. Of the three treasures, Bai Zian only knew the whereabouts of one. That was the Nixia Mystic Leaf. If Bai Zian remembered correctly, his grandfather Bai Jingchong seemed to possess one Nixia Mystic Leaf. Of course, given the value of a Diamond-level material, Bai Jingchong naturally wouldn¡¯t leave it in the City Lord¡¯s mansion but would carry it with him. As for how Bai Zian knew about this, it had to do with his [Eye of Revelation]. When Bai Zian successfully awakened the [Eye of Revelation] during the awakening ceremony, he was extremely curious about its abilities. So, during the ceremony, Bai Zian kept using the [Eye of Revelation]. It could be said that almost everyone present at the time was scanned by Bai Zian. Bai Jingchong was no exception. It was then that Bai Zian discovered that Bai Jingchong carried some valuable resources with him. This was normal. Just like Bai Zian, who carried the mutated Candlefire Spider leader¡¯s crystal core and the incomplete core of the King-level spirit beast, the Red Phoenix. Bai Zian wouldn¡¯t leave such precious treasures in the family treasury either. He carried them with him for safekeeping. Similarly, among the treasures Bai Jingchong carried was the Nixia Mystic Leaf. Given Bai Jingchong¡¯s fondness for Bai Zian, he would undoubtedly agree if Bai Zian asked for it. In other words, Bai Zian only needed to find the other two materials. He just needed to locate the Qingyun Dew and Tianyuan Tears. Once he had those, Bai Zian could move forward with awakening his second talent. With this in mind, Bai Zian made his decision. He then went to the office and approached Bai Jingchong. ¡°Grandfather, I need some rather special materials, including the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears. Could you help me collect them?¡± Bai Zian went straight to Bai Jingchong and stated his needs. Bai Zian knew very well that he couldn¡¯t hide this matter from Bai Jingchong. So, he simply told him directly and asked for his help in collecting the materials. Of course, Bai Zian didn¡¯t mention that Bai Jingchong already had the Nixia Mystic Leaf. After all, he couldn¡¯t explain how he knew, so he just added it to the list of materials. ¡°Xiao An, what do you need all these high-level materials for?¡± Upon hearing Bai Zian¡¯s request, Bai Jingchong was visibly surprised. The other materials were valuable but not too difficult to obtain for the Bai family. However, the three main materials were all Diamond-level, and acquiring them was no easy task. Although Bai Jingchong had the Nixia Mystic Leaf, it was so precious that even he hesitated to use it lightly. It wasn¡¯t that Bai Jingchong was reluctant to give it to Bai Zian. But given its significance, he needed to understand what Bai Zian intended to do with it before deciding whether to give it to him. ¡°I¡¯ve been researching the evolution of the White-scaled Fish. Based on its previous evolution chain, I¡¯ve had a new idea that I want to try, and these materials are needed for it.¡± ¡°I have a feeling that this time, I might be able to create an entirely new evolution chain for the White-scaled Fish.¡± Bai Zian spoke without changing his expression, telling the lie without blinking. The matter of the awakening origin stone was too special, and he couldn¡¯t reveal it, so he used the White-scaled Fish as a cover. He even invoked his ¡®Mutated S-level Talent [Super Intuition].¡¯ It had to be said that this was a perfect excuse. Whenever there was an issue, he could just attribute it to the mutated S-level talent [Super Intuition], and it would always be accepted. In fact, that was exactly what happened. Hearing Bai Zian¡¯s explanation, Bai Jingchong hesitated. ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll help you this time.¡± ¡°However, when the White-scaled Fish evolves, I must be present to observe.¡± Bai Jingchong thought for a moment and made up his mind. He was very invested in Bai Zian¡¯s growth and had high hopes for him, hoping that Bai Zian could achieve something he himself had not accomplished in his time. Therefore, he rarely refused Bai Zian¡¯s requests. However, given the importance of this matter, he wanted to be present during the White-scaled Fish¡¯s evolution to ensure nothing went wrong. Chapter 45 - The White Scaled Fish Evolves, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish Is Born! Chapter 45 The White Scaled Fish Evolves, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish Is Born! Regarding Bai Jingchong¡¯s request, Bai Zian did not refuse. Because evolution was a dangerous process, having Bai Jingchong nearby for protection was also a good thing. So, how could Bai Zian refuse this? It could be said that this matter was settled. Bai Jingchong agreed to help Bai Zian gather the required materials. Moreover, Bai Jingchong even took out a purple-red leaf on the spot and handed it directly to Bai Zian. This was one of the three main materials, the Nixia Mystic Leaf. As Bai Zian had expected, Bai Jingchong indeed handed over the Nixia Mystic Leaf to him. Bai Zian was very pleased with this and thanked him repeatedly before returning to the City Lord¡¯s mansion. ¡°I have obtained one of the three main materials needed to make the Awakening Origin Liquid. As long as I get the remaining two, the second ability will be basically secured.¡± Bai Zian murmured to himself, feeling somewhat excited. ¡°But, speaking of it, these materials are quite rare.¡± ¡°Even grandpa would probably find it not so easy to collect the remaining two materials.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t place all my hopes on grandpa alone.¡± ¡°Perhaps I also need to go out and see if I can find any opportunities.¡± Bai Zian thought to himself, considering this matter. Not putting all your eggs in one basket is a simple and understandable principle. Therefore, Bai Zian also prepared to search thoroughly on his own. When he had the time, he planned to visit various black markets and auctions in Bai Lin City, as he might make some discoveries. Of course, that was a matter for later. For Bai Zian at the moment, the most important thing was to evolve the White Scale Fish. That was the main priority. Because of this, Bai Zian did not leave his home for the following period and waited quietly. Time passed quickly, and the day went by in the blink of an eye. Soon, the auxiliary spirit liquid for the White Scale Fish¡¯s evolution was completely ready. Only then did Bai Zian go to the lake behind the villa and bring out the White Scale Fish. At the same time, Bai Jingchong also arrived. It could be said that everything was in place, and it was now time to start the evolution of the White Scale Fish. With this thought, Bai Zian waved his hand, putting the main evolution materials into the auxiliary spirit liquid. Then, Bai Zian let the White Scale Fish enter the liquid pool. The moment the White Scale Fish entered the liquid pool, the materials in the pool seemed to react in a special way with the White Scale Fish, directly integrating into its body. Meanwhile, Bai Jingchong, who was watching, frowned slightly. ¡°Bai Zian said he would use the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears to help the White Scale Fish evolve, right?¡± ¡°Now, it seems the White Scale Fish isn¡¯t using these materials?¡± Bai Jingchong felt somewhat puzzled. After all, Bai Zian had previously mentioned that the Nixia Mystic Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears were to be used for the evolution of the White Scale Fish. But now it appeared that these materials were not used. This made Bai Jingchong a bit confused. However, he no longer had time to ponder this matter. Because the evolution of the White Scale Fish had already begun. At this moment, a brilliant light of evolution burst forth from the White Scale Fish. This was the Light of Evolution. The appearance of the Light of Evolution meant that the White Scale Fish had started to evolve. ¡°Finally started. Please don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± Bai Zian held his breath, watching the White Scale Fish emitting a faint glow. After a while, the Light of Evolution gradually disappeared. At the same time, the figure of the White Scale Fish had vanished. In its place was a special white large fish. It was a white large fish with fish scales like white jade, surrounded by a faint white shadow, and with golden-purple eyes that looked very majestic. It could be said that, apart from the illusory white shadow, the appearance of the White Scale Fish didn¡¯t seem to change much. The only difference was that this white large fish¡¯s size seemed somewhat oversized. With a fish body over five meters long, it looked very imposing and gave a sense of pressure. However, the faint white shadow surrounding the fish gave it a light and ethereal feel, looking quite mystical. At the same time, the [Eye of Destiny] activated, and a celestial entry appeared before Bai Zian¡¯s eyes. [Species]: White Shadow Giant Scale Fish (Water)[Realm]: Primary Black Iron[Talent]: Stream Control Speed (S), Yinming Power (S), Water Flow Rupture (A), Phantom Trail (A)[Potential]: Advanced King-Level[Skills]: Stream Control Speed (Purple ¡¤ Beginner), Yin Water Corrosion (Purple ¡¤ Beginner), Water Flow Rupture (Blue ¡¤ Minor), Illusory White Shadow (Blue), Water Gun Impact (Green ¡¤ Minor), Foam Layer (Green ¡¤ Major)[Introduction]: Naturally gifted with astonishing abilities, its size far exceeds that of ordinary scaled fish. It also possesses the illusion talent of the White Shadow Water Whale, which can confuse enemies and reduce the probability of being attacked. ¡°After the evolution, the White Scale Fish not only grew larger in size but also gained new talents and its potential has become higher.¡± Looking at the information after the White Scale Fish¡¯s evolution, Bai Zian was immediately a bit surprised. To be honest, the data for the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish after evolution was quite astonishing, far exceeding Bai Zian¡¯s expectations. The increase in size was something Bai Zian was aware of. After all, the first stage of the White Scale Fish¡¯s evolution was towards a whale. Bai Zian had some knowledge of this from school. It was said that there was a special whale-type spirit beast whose size could even rival a mountain. Therefore, it was normal for the White Scale Fish¡¯s size to surge. Because of this reason, Bai Zian did not focus on the size. What he was concerned about were the new talents and potential. After evolving into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, the White Scale Fish unexpectedly gained a new talent. An A-Level Talent [Phantom Trail] This was beyond Bai Zian¡¯s expectations. Bai Zian remembered that Phantom Trail should be the talent of the White Shadow Water Whale. Using the heart of the White Shadow Water Whale as the main evolution material, completing the evolution successfully could indeed grant the talent of the White Shadow Water Whale. This was quite surprising. Moreover, Bai Zian also discovered that after the White Scale Fish evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, it gained a new blue skill, Illusory White Shadow. If he remembered correctly, this should also be a skill of the White Shadow Water Whale. And it was a talent skill of the White Shadow Water Whale. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 46 - The Career Path of the Spirit Beast, Killing the Top Bronze Spirit Beast in Seconds! Chapter 46 The Career Path of the Spirit Beast, Killing the Top Bronze Spirit Beast in Seconds! With doubts in his mind, Bai Zian directly used the [Eye of Revelation] to understand the situation. [You are researching whether spirit beast evolution can yield new talents and skills. You have received Heaven¡¯s Insight.].[It is indeed possible for spirit beast evolution to grant new talents and skills, depending on the evolution situation.].[The higher the evolution method used, the greater the benefits after evolution, and the more likely new talents or skills will be obtained.]. Looking at the divine hints, Bai Zian understood the reason behind this. Regarding the evolution of the White Scale Fish. The evolution plan chosen by Bai Zian was the highest-level evolution method among all the evolution options for the White Scale Fish. Once the evolution was fully completed, the White Scale Fish would evolve into the Kunpeng of the Nine Heavens, becoming a legendary deity. This was the ultimate evolution method for the White Scale Fish. There was no other. Additionally, the evolution materials used by Bai Zian were top-notch. After all, for a mere Black Iron-level evolution, Bai Zian had already used Gold-level materials. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Such an extravagant evolution method naturally resulted in the most exceptional spirit beast. Therefore, it was normal for the White Scale Fish to gain new talents and skills after evolving into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish. As for the increase in potential, from Intermediate King-Level to Advanced King-Level, that was even simpler. Because with the increase in talents and potential, it was normal for the qualifications to improve as well. This was the situation of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish. ¡°With this in mind, if the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish continues to evolve in the future, will it gain even more talents? This is excellent news.¡± Understanding the reason, Bai Zian was very pleased. Moreover, Bai Zian thought of something else. The Kunpeng evolution method was the top-level evolution method. So, if the White Scale Fish continues to evolve in the future, it might acquire even more talents. If that was the case, it would be truly extraordinary. Perhaps his pet beast will grow to an astonishing level. This was definitely good news for Bai Zian. After all, if his pet beast becomes stronger, his own strength would also increase. No one would refuse such a thing. After a while, Bai Zian set aside these thoughts and prepared to familiarize himself with the abilities of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish. However, at this moment, Bai Jingchong, who was beside Bai Zian, finally couldn¡¯t help but speak up. ¡°Xiao¡¯an, why is the size of your White Scale Fish so large after evolution?¡± ¡°Or are you planning to make the White Scale Fish follow a high-defense tank route?¡± Bai Jingchong asked, looking directly at Bai Zian. To be honest, Bai Jingchong had vaguely guessed Bai Zian¡¯s intentions when he was trying to collect the heart of the White Shadow Water Whale. The characteristics of spirit beasts vary, and their career paths were different. In general, the career paths of spirit beasts could be divided into four types. The first was the balanced warrior type with both offense and defense. The second was the high-explosive and high-damage assassin type. The third was the high-defense and high-recovery tank type. The fourth was the control and support type. These were the four basic career paths for spirit beasts. They cover offense and defense, attack-oriented, defense-oriented, and support characteristics. Of course, there were more detailed classifications. For example, high-output archers, fast-attack types with incredible attack speed, and various sword-based niche paths. But those do not need to be explained in detail here. The White Shadow Giant Scale Fish evolved from the White Scale Fish did indeed have a surprisingly large size. Even Bai Zian¡¯s father, Bai Chengzhi¡¯s Red Eye Silver Stripe Fish, had already grown to the Gold-level. However, even though the Red Eye Silver Stripe Fish was at the Golden level, its size was only about three meters. But Bai Zian¡¯s White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, which had just evolved to Black Iron level, had a size exceeding five meters, nearly twice the size of the Red Eye Silver Stripe Fish. This was indeed a bit exaggerated. This was also a subtle understanding. ¡°Tanks? I don¡¯t have that idea for now.¡± Bai Zian shook his head slightly. To be honest, the situation of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was a bit special and could no longer be categorized by ordinary career paths. As for what exactly it was, Bai Zian could not be certain. After all, the White Scale Fish had already embarked on a special path. ¡°Well then, Xiao¡¯an, I¡¯ll arrange a few opponents for you to test your pet beast and see its specific situation.¡± Bai Jingchong said to Bai Zian. Through the battle situation, the positioning of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish could be determined. This was Bai Jingchong¡¯s idea. To this, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes lit up, and he did not refuse. Because this was also a good opportunity for the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish. So, Bai Zian agreed to this. With this thought, Bai Jingchong quickly made arrangements. In the Bai family¡¯s training ground, a blue canine spirit beast appeared opposite Bai Zian. This was a wild spirit beast captured by the Bai family, possessing top-level Bronze strength. Yes, although Bai Zian¡¯s White Scale Fish had just evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish at the Primary Black Iron level. However, before, when the White Scale Fish was still at the Eighth Tier, it had already defeated a Primary Bronze variant Candlefire Spider Leader. Now, with the White Scale Fish having completed its evolution and even reaching Black Iron level, it was quite reasonable to arrange a top-level Bronze opponent. To this, Bai Zian naturally had no objections. Soon, the battle began. Under Bai Zian¡¯s command, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish started to act. Water Flow Rupture! A powerful water column erupted instantly from the mouth of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish. At lightning speed, it directly attacked the wild top-level Bronze spirit beast. The water column hit the wild spirit beast, instantly shattering it. Facing a top-level Bronze opponent, Bai Zian¡¯s White Shadow Giant Scale Fish eliminated it with one move. Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Killing a Silver Level by Jumping Two Levels, the Self-Protection Method of the Beast Tamer! In the Bai family¡¯s training ground, Bai Jingchong was at a loss for words as he watched the scene before him. He did not expect that the White Scale Fish, evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, could kill a top-level Bronze canine spirit beast with just one move. Such real combat power was astonishing. After all, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was only at the Primary Black Iron level, still some distance from the Bronze level. Yet, in front of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, a top-level Bronze spirit beast couldn¡¯t even withstand a single attack. Such combat power could almost be described as defying the heavens. Moreover, Bai Jingchong was certain that this was not even the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish¡¯s true combat power. After all, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish had only used one attack against a top-level Bronze spirit beast. Thinking of this, Bai Jingchong¡¯s expression changed. If his guess was correct, then Bai Zian¡¯s White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was indeed something extraordinary. ¡°Bring me a Primary Silver-level spirit beast.¡± With this thought, Bai Jingchong quickly gave orders to find a Primary Silver-level spirit beast. He wanted to verify his hypothesis. Upon hearing Bai Jingchong¡¯s words, Bai Zian immediately understood that Bai Jingchong wanted to increase the difficulty of the test. However, Bai Zian did not refuse. He was also eager to see how far the evolved White Shadow Giant Scale Fish could go. Soon, a Primary Silver-level wild spirit beast was brought to the Bai family¡¯s training ground by their servants. It was a wolf-like wild spirit beast, with a gray-black body, but its claws were silver and radiated a golden sheen, looking very fierce. Without hesitation, Bai Zian ordered the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish to attack the wild wolf-like spirit beast. Compared to the previous battle, this fight was not so easy. Both sides exchanged blows, constantly launching attacks. However, in the end, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was superior. At the cost of some energy, the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish used the purple skill Yin Water Corrosion to completely kill the wild wolf-like spirit beast. With this, the battle came to an end. At this point, the true combat power of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was fully understood. A Primary Black Iron-level spirit beast could battle with a Primary Silver-level spirit beast. This was the situation with the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish. Even Bai Zian was a bit surprised by this result. To be honest, Bai Zian knew the combat power of the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish was high. After all, no one understood their pet beast better than he did. But the extent to which the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish could go was beyond Bai Zian¡¯s expectations. Such combat power was even more exaggerated than before its evolution. Previously, when the White Scale Fish was at a low tier, it could at most fight against Primary Bronze spirit beasts. Now, as the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish had reached Primary Black Iron, it could handle Primary Silver-level spirit beasts. Although the difference might not seem huge, it was quite significant. In short, the higher the level, the less likely it is to challenge beyond its rank. Because at higher levels, the power gap becomes larger. That¡¯s why Bai Zian was surprised. However, Bai Zian understood why the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish could achieve this. It was due to evolution. After successfully evolving into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, in addition to the level increase, its overall abilities had greatly improved. This increase far surpassed that of other spirit beasts¡¯ upgrades. This was the reason for such results. Of course, this was definitely a great benefit for Bai Zian. So, after the initial surprise, Bai Zian was overjoyed. With this thought, Bai Zian stopped overthinking and directly put the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish into the Mythical Beast Space. The evolution of the White Scale Fish had brought enormous benefits to Bai Zian. Besides the benefits gained by the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish itself, Bai Zian also received considerable advantages. When the White Scale Fish evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish and reached the Black Iron level, Bai Zian felt as if a special power had emerged within him. This special power flowed through Bai Zian¡¯s body, making him stronger. Bai Zian knew well that this was the power of a Beast Tamer. Beast Tamers and their pets have a mutually beneficial relationship. A Beast Tamer can help their pet grow and as the pet grows, it will, in turn, benefit the Beast Tamer. Bai Zian could feel that his physical qualities seemed to have greatly enhanced. There seemed to be a continuous flow of power emerging from within him. At this moment, Bai Zian officially became a Black Iron Beast Tamer. This was the significant benefit brought by the pet beast¡¯s evolution to Bai Zian. However, what concerned Bai Zian even more was the Beast Tamer Power that increased after reaching Black Iron level. To be honest, this was truly valuable for a Beast Tamer. When the Beast Tamer Power grows to a certain scale, it can form a protective shield to safeguard the Beast Tamer. This was considered a skill of the Beast Tamer. Yes, Beast Tamers also have skills. This was a necessary thing. When the level is still low, the destructive power of pets is not too exaggerated. But with the growth in strength, the power of pets also becomes more extreme. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If a pet grows to the Golden level or even the Diamond level, it could potentially split mountains and rivers. At that time, how would the Beast Tamer command the pet in battle? Being too close to the battlefield could easily be affected by widespread battle shockwaves. Being too far from the battlefield would make it difficult to command the pet in time. For this reason, powerful Beast Tamers had conducted a lot of research. In the end, they made a significant discovery. They found that by using Beast Tamer Power to form a protective shield, this issue could be well addressed. This was the origin of the protective shield. As for when a Beast Tamer could form a protective shield, According to what Bai Zian learned in school, it was possible only at the Silver level. Because at a weaker level, the Beast Tamer Power was too weak to form a protective shield. However, for some reason, Bai Zian felt that the Beast Tamer Power within him was quite impressive. If an ordinary Black Iron-level Beast Tamer¡¯s Power was as small as a hair, Then Bai Zian¡¯s Beast Tamer Power was at least the size of a small stream. This was Bai Zian¡¯s feeling. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The Secret of Bai Jingchong, the Origin World and the Secret World of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest! The Beast Tamer Power within him was truly overwhelming. It surged continuously, seemingly without stopping. Bai Zian had an intuition that if he wished, he might be able to form a protective shield right now. Something that typically requires a Silver Beast Tamer might be possible for him at this moment. If others knew about this, they would surely be astonished. This made Bai Zian somewhat puzzled. He didn¡¯t understand why his situation was so exceptional. If there were doubts, they should be clarified. And the method to resolve this doubt was quite simple: just ask the [Eye of Revelation]. After all, the [Eye of Revelation] was the greatest authority in this area. With this thought, Bai Zian immediately used the [Eye of Revelation]. Soon, Bai Zian got his answer. The Beast Tamer Power was related to several factors. It was related to the strength of the Beast Tamer¡¯s talent, the level of the Beast Tamer¡¯s space, and the strength of the pet beast. Combining these factors produced the Beast Tamer Power. ¡°So it¡¯s related to the Beast Tamer talent, the Beast Tamer space, and the strength of the pet beast? No wonder my Beast Tamer Power is so impressive.¡± Bai Zian revealed a smile. Because in these aspects, he was undoubtedly the best. Mythical-level talent, a perfect-level Mythical Beast Space, and a pet beast with King-level potential. To be honest, in the entire Spider Nest Secret Realm world, and even in the Origin World where the Jiuzhou Federation was located, Few could surpass Bai Zian in terms of overall conditions. So it seemed normal that Bai Zian¡¯s Beast Tamer Power would be so extraordinary. ¡°Xiao An, come here.¡± Just as Bai Zian was lost in thought, Bai Jingchong¡¯s voice came. Unlike before, Bai Jingchong¡¯s expression now looked very serious, as if he was about to make an important decision. ¡°Yes, Grandpa.¡± Bai Zian was somewhat puzzled. But seeing Bai Jingchong so serious, it seemed there was something important to discuss. At once, Bai Zian became serious. With this thought, Bai Zian followed Bai Jingchong out of the training ground. Soon, Bai Zian followed Bai Jingchong to his study. ¡°Xiao An, how much do you know about this world?¡± Bai Jingchong spoke slowly, asking about the world as if testing Bai Zian. This made Bai Zian somewhat confused. Nevertheless, Bai Zian answered Bai Jingchong¡¯s questions honestly. ¡°Our world, the Spider Nest Secret Realm, is a medium-sized secret realm.¡± ¡°Our human race¡¯s main base is the Origin World, also known as Origin Star.¡± ¡°In the beginning, with the arrival of the major secret realms, spirit beasts invaded Origin Star, marking the beginning of the Beast Tamer civilization.¡± ¡°After years of hard fighting, the human race gradually grew stronger and began to counterattack the major secret realms, using the Origin World as the main base to invade other secret realms.¡± ¡°The human race established bases in various secret realms and began to move some of our people to secret realms suitable for human habitation, forming human-affiliated worlds.¡± ¡°The Spider Nest Secret Realm where we are located is a transcendent power affiliated with the Origin Star, and part of the Jiuzhou Federation¡¯s affiliated secret realm¡­¡± Bai Zian explained slowly, revealing all the knowledge he knew. At this point, the true face of the world was gradually unveiled. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. To be honest, this was an immensely vast world. The original world where the human race resides was called the Origin World because it was the foundation of the human race. Subsequently, the human race expanded their territory by entering various secret realms through spatial passages, starting from the Origin World. According to what Bai Zian learned in school, the number of secret realms controlled by humans had already exceeded one hundred. Of course, this did not mean that there were only one hundred secret realms. The exact number of secret realms was unknown. Because new secret realms could appear in any region over time. The major human forces were constantly striving for this. It could be said that this was a prosperous golden age for Beast Tamers. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the truth about the world.¡± ¡°For the entire brilliant and flourishing human civilization, the Origin World is the best, and it is the most desired place for all Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°A Beast Tamer, after reaching a certain level, must find a way to go to the Origin World if they want to continue developing.¡± Bai Jingchong nodded slightly and slowly spoke about the benefits of the Origin World. In response, Bai Zian nodded slightly, agreeing with Bai Jingchong¡¯s statement. Because it was a fact. Not to mention, the upper limit of medium-sized secret realms was roughly Diamond level; beyond that, it was at most Purple-Crystal level. At this level, if one wants to continue growing, they must go to the Origin World. Because the Origin World was where the promotion channels were located. ¡°However, coming from the Origin World to the secret realm is not difficult.¡± ¡°But going from a secret realm to the Origin World is not easy.¡± ¡°There are numerous complicated procedures and special contributions that can trap many Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°Especially for our Bai family, it is even more difficult.¡± Bai Jingchong¡¯s tone shifted, talking about the difficulties of this matter. However, Bai Zian was slightly puzzled upon hearing this. For ordinary Beast Tamers, this was indeed a problem. But for the Bai family, it didn¡¯t seem to be such a big deal. After all, his grandfather, Bai Jingchong, was a Diamond-level Beast Tamer, one of the strongest in the entire Spider Nest Secret Realm world. With Bai Jingchong¡¯s power and influence, it should not be difficult to go to the Origin World. And even mentioned that it was extremely difficult for the Bai family to go to the Origin World. This left Bai Zian somewhat confused. It seemed there were some secrets behind this matter. ¡°This is a secret of our Bai family. I am not a native of the Spider Nest Secret Realm world; I come from the Origin World.¡± Bai Jingchong¡¯s expression was complex as he sighed and slowly revealed the truth. ¡°I come from a family in the Origin World, the Bai family of the Origin World.¡± ¡°That is the real Bai family, with even King-level powerhouses among them.¡± ¡°But, due to youthful arrogance, I fought with a rival and accidentally killed him.¡± ¡°He was from a prominent family, which immediately caused a lot of trouble¡­¡± Chapter 49 Chapter 49 The Way to the Origin World, the Top Ten Universities in Jiuzhou Federation! As Bai Jingchong recounted the story, Bai Zian finally understood the events of the past. In truth, it was a rather simple matter, essentially a grudge between two beast tamers. When Bai Jingchong was young, he had a conflict with a disciple from another family. During a battle, Bai Jingchong accidentally killed his opponent. For beast tamers, this wasn¡¯t considered a major incident, as fights frequently broke out due to their immense power. However, both sides had significant backing, which gradually escalated the situation. Of course, the Bai family wouldn¡¯t let one of their disciples be bullied by another family. So, under the Bai family¡¯s mediation, the situation was resolved, and everything calmed down. But shortly after, Bai Jingchong faced punishment from his own family. After all, the trouble Bai Jingchong caused had brought considerable losses to the family, and it was impossible for him to escape punishment entirely. Bai Jingchong was exiled to the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest as his punishment. However, the Bai family didn¡¯t entirely cut off his chance to return to the origin world. Because of this, the Bai family patriarch gave Bai Jingchong two conditions. The first condition was to successfully break through to the Purple-Crystal level and become an Purple-crystal-level beast tamer. The second condition was to eliminate the overlord of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm, a special phantom spider overlord of the initial Purple Crystal level. As long as Bai Jingchong could accomplish either one of these, he could return to the origin world. That was what had happened all those years ago. To be honest, it wasn¡¯t that the Bai family was deliberately making things difficult for Bai Jingchong. In fact, these conditions were set based on Bai Jingchong¡¯s potential, as he had a fair chance of achieving them. Not to mention, Bai Jingchong¡¯s Scarlet-Eyed Golden Patterned Fish originally had the potential to reach the Purple-crystal level. However, due to a special accident, the White-Scaled Fish¡¯s essence was damaged, lowering its potential to the Diamond level. Because of this, Bai Jingchong had been unable to break through to the Purple-crystal level for a long time. Over time, Bai Jingchong became somewhat disheartened and ended up marrying and having children in the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm. Thus, the Bai family in the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm came into existence. But because of this, Bai Jingchong¡¯s family couldn¡¯t easily leave the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm. This had been Bai Jingchong¡¯s regret all along. ¡°I never expected Grandpa to have such an extraordinary past.¡± ¡°But since you¡¯ve brought this up, Grandpa, does that mean you¡¯ve found a way to leave the origin world?¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bai Zian felt a bit emotional. When he had first seen his grandfather¡¯s Scarlet-Eyed Golden Patterned Fish, Bai Zian had already guessed that his grandfather had a significant past. However, Bai Zian hadn¡¯t expected such a story. To be honest, it was a bit melodramatic. But considering the nature of the beast-taming world, it wasn¡¯t too surprising. After all, the real beast-taming world was full of constant conflict and battles. It wasn¡¯t uncommon for various incidents to arise from these struggles. As for not being able to leave the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t too worried. He knew his grandfather well. If Bai Jingchong hadn¡¯t found a solution, he wouldn¡¯t have mentioned any of this. Bai Jingchong had clearly already thought of a way to return to the origin world, which was why he had shared his story with Bai Zian. ¡°You clever boy, I knew I couldn¡¯t hide it from you,¡± Bai Jingchong said helplessly, a smile spreading across his face. ¡°The conditions set by the family are pretty much impossible for me now, so I had to find another way.¡± ¡°In the end, I came up with a special method.¡± ¡°If it succeeds, I might be able to send you out, allowing you to reach the origin world.¡± Bai Jingchong said slowly, his expression becoming more serious. ¡°This method is the college entrance exam.¡± ¡°Just like the Awakening Ceremony, the college entrance exam is another way for the Jiuzhou Federation to select talents.¡± ¡°For this reason, the college entrance exam covers all regions of the Jiuzhou Federation, including the various secret realms under its rule.¡± ¡°Of course, the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm is no exception.¡± ¡°As for what Grandpa mentioned, if you can achieve excellent results in the college entrance exam and get into one of the top ten universities, you can bypass the Bai family¡¯s rules and go to the origin world¡­¡± Bai Jingchong slowly revealed the secret. As for his own return to the origin world, Bai Jingchong had almost completely given up. His growth had been capped, and it was nearly impossible for him to break through to the Purple-crystal level. Thus, he had to find another way to send his family back to the origin world. That was the college entrance exam! By passing the exam and getting into one of the top ten universities of the Jiuzhou Federation, one could bypass the Bai family¡¯s rules. It was said that the principals of the top ten universities were all powerhouses beyond the king level. Such strength was beyond the Bai family¡¯s influence. After all, the strongest in the Bai family was only at the king level. In the face of powerhouses beyond the king level, even a powerful family like the Bai family wouldn¡¯t dare to interfere. This was the method Bai Jingchong had come up with to bypass the Bai family¡¯s rules. It was an extremely unique method, one that most people wouldn¡¯t even consider. But upon further thought, it did seem possible. However, Bai Zian furrowed his brow slightly, as if he didn¡¯t particularly like this method. Because with this method, at best, only Bai Zian could leave the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm. But his grandfather, Bai Jingchong, and even his parents would still have to stay behind in the Ten Thousand Spider Nest realm. This was not something Bai Zian was willing to accept. In his view, if he was going to the origin world, he should bring his entire family with him. That was Bai Zian¡¯s goal. For this reason, Bai Zian began to think deeply. ¡°Xiao An, what are you thinking? Worried that you won¡¯t get into one of the top ten universities in the Jiuzhou Federation?¡± Seeing Bai Zian lost in thought, Bai Jingchong asked curiously. ¡°Nothing like that, Grandpa. I believe I can do it.¡± Bai Zian snapped out of his thoughts, smiling confidently at Bai Jingchong. After thinking it over, Bai Zian had already made his decision. He wouldn¡¯t give up on going to the origin world. But at the same time, he wouldn¡¯t give up on his family either. As for how to achieve that, he would need to think it through carefully. Chapter 50 Chapter 50 The Goal of Three Years of High School, the Gold-Level Beast Tamer! Of course, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t in a hurry either. After all, he had just finished his middle school entrance exams and hadn¡¯t even entered high school yet. In other words, Bai Zian still had three years. He had plenty of time to slowly prepare for this matter. So, Bai Zian didn¡¯t need to rush; he could plan carefully. ¡°By the way, Grandpa, what kind of strength is needed to get into one of the top ten universities of the Jiuzhou Federation?¡± Bai Zian shifted the topic and asked Bai Jingchong. After hearing Bai Jingchong¡¯s words, Bai Zian had already made a decision. He would find a way to take his family with him, leaving the Ten Thousand Spider Nest secret realm and heading to the Origin World. After all, that was the true stage! However, speaking of which, the matter of taking his entire family out of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest secret realm could be thought about slowly. But as for the top ten universities of the Jiuzhou Federation, he was determined to get in. However, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t particularly clear about the situation of these ten universities and what requirements they had for students. So, he needed to gather information in advance. ¡°Under normal circumstances, if you want to get close to the top ten universities of the Jiuzhou Federation, there is one basic requirement¡ªbecoming a Gold-tier Beast tamer.¡± Bai Jingchong said seriously, slowly stating this. Requirements for ordinary beast tamer universities might be a bit easier. But to become a student at one of the top ten schools in the Jiuzhou Federation was exceedingly difficult. Based on his summarized rules, one needed to at least reach the realm of a Gold-tier Beast tamer to achieve this. Hearing Bai Jingchong¡¯s words, Bai Zian was somewhat shocked. Under normal circumstances, the time when a novice awakens their beast tamer talent is at the middle school entrance exam, which is around 15 years old. In other words, to get into one of the top ten universities, one needed to cross the ranks of Unranked, Iron-tier, Bronze-tier, and Silver-tier, and reach Gold-tier within three years. For an average student, this difficulty was akin to climbing the heavens. To give an example, take the high school students from Mining Rock City whom Bai Zian had met on the centipede train when he visited Candlefire City. It took them a year to raise their contracted beasts to about the fifth or sixth stage of the Unranked tier. Given three years, by the time they graduated from high school, they would only reach the Iron tier at best. However, if Bai Zian wanted to get into one of the top ten universities in the Jiuzhou Federation, he needed to reach the Gold tier in three years. One could easily imagine how difficult this was. Because of this, Bai Zian was a bit surprised. Of course, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t overly worried. Because his situation was unique. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, he possessed a Mythical-level talent and a Perfect-grade Mythical Beast tamer Space. With these two trump cards, it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to reach the Gold tier within three years. Think about it¡ªjust looking at Bai Zian¡¯s previous progress was enough to understand. After forming a contract with the White Scale Fish, it took Bai Zian less than a month to step into the Iron tier. He only needed to cross the Bronze and Silver tiers to reach Gold. So, Bai Zian really wasn¡¯t worried about reaching Gold-tier. ¡°Grandpa knows that this isn¡¯t easy.¡± ¡°But the family will do everything possible to help you improve.¡± ¡°Of course, if you don¡¯t want to, Grandpa won¡¯t force you to do it either.¡± Bai Jingchong, thinking that Bai Zian was intimidated by this requirement, comforted him. In truth, Bai Jingchong was well aware of how difficult this task was. In fact, even high school students from the Origin World would struggle to reach the Gold tier within three years. The prestige of the top ten universities was truly extraordinary. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t make even a family like the Bai clan, which boasted a King-tier expert, feel such a sense of dread. It could be said that the difficulty of this task was significant; it was not an easy one. In fact, Bai Jingchong hadn¡¯t originally placed his hopes on Bai Zian but on Bai Zian¡¯s father, Bai Chengzhi. Looking at Bai Chengzhi¡¯s name was enough to understand. Bai Jingchong had initially hoped that his son Bai Chengzhi would inherit his will and return to the Origin World. Unfortunately, Bai Chengzhi fell short. Although Bai Chengzhi was considered a genius, reaching the Gold tier by the age of 18 was extremely difficult. It wasn¡¯t until he was in his early twenties that Bai Chengzhi broke into the Gold tier, missing the opportunity to return to the Origin World. At that time, Bai Jingchong had completely given up on this matter. That¡¯s why, when Bai Zian was born, he named him ¡°Zian,¡± hoping that he could live a peaceful and stable life. He didn¡¯t want to impose his will on his grandson. In a way, the change in names between Bai Zian and his father reflected the shift in Bai Jingchong¡¯s mindset. However, what Bai Jingchong didn¡¯t expect was that everything changed after Bai Zian awakened his beast tamer talent. In just a month, Bai Zian had undergone a drastic transformation. A mutated beast tamer talent! A highly talented contracted beast, the White Scale Fish! A brand-new evolutionary chain! Unimaginable combat strength! Everything about Bai Zian¡¯s performance far exceeded Bai Jingchong¡¯s expectations. Bai Jingchong was sure that even in the Origin World, he would have struggled to find a genius comparable to Bai Zian. Given this, Bai Jingchong started to have new thoughts. He wanted to send Bai Zian out of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest secret realm and into the Origin World for further development. That¡¯s why, after the White Scale Fish successfully evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scale Fish, Bai Jingchong brought up this matter. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa, I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°On the contrary, I¡¯m full of fighting spirit right now; I can¡¯t wait to take the college entrance exam!¡± Bai Zian said with a smile, easing the atmosphere a bit. To be honest, after learning about the Bai family¡¯s past, Bai Zian¡¯s fighting spirit was even stronger. If before Bai Zian had a distant goal of becoming the strongest beast tamer, Now, he had a short-term goal. That was to break into the Gold tier and become a Gold-tier Beast tamer within three years. And then, in three years, to pass the college entrance exam and get into one of the top ten universities of the Jiuzhou Federation. This was Bai Zian¡¯s short-term goal. Then, once he grew stronger, he would find a way to solve Bai Jingchong¡¯s situation and bring the Bai family to the Origin World. This was Bai Zian¡¯s current thinking. Bai Jingchong simply nodded slightly, telling Bai Zian not to worry too much. After this conversation ended, Bai Zian left the study and returned to his room. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Perfect Protective Shield, the Best Means of Self-Protection! ¡°Today¡¯s events sure have been plenty!¡± ¡°Not only did the white-scaled fish evolve, but I also uncovered the secrets of the Bai family.¡± ¡°It seems like I¡¯ll need some time to properly digest everything.¡± Bai Zian muttered to himself, feeling slightly overwhelmed. In just one day, the amount of information he had received was enormous¡ª the evolution of the white-scaled fish, Bai Jingchong¡¯s secrets, the matter of the Origin World and the Ten Thousand Spider Nest Secret Realm. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. These bombshells of information required some time for Bai Zian to process thoroughly. Because of this, he spent the entire next day doing nothing else, focusing solely on absorbing everything that had happened. After a day, Bai Zian calmed his mind and began planning his next steps. ¡°Now that the white-scaled fish has successfully evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish, reaching the Black Iron level¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare for the next stage of my cultivation.¡± Bai Zian thought to himself, considering his upcoming tasks. The White Scaled Fish had successfully evolved into the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish and had broken through to the Black Iron level. Thus, it was time for Bai Zian to initiate the next phase of his cultivation. To be honest, what Bai Zian needed to do next wasn¡¯t all that complicated. There were essentially three main tasks. The first task was to train the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish and enhance its strength. There wasn¡¯t much to say about this. Since the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish had already reached the Black Iron level, starting its next training regimen was imperative. Of course, this was no difficult matter for Bai Zian. With the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian could help the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish by crafting the perfect training plan. In fact, with the nearly omniscient [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian didn¡¯t need to worry at all about training his pet beasts. He had already begun this task. Even though the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish was still within the Mythic Beast Space, it had already started its training according to Bai Zian¡¯s guidance. Thus, he didn¡¯t need to devote much time or energy to this. The second task was to form a contract with a second pet beast. Since Bai Zian had successfully advanced to the Black Iron-level Beast Tamer, he had gained an additional pet beast slot, meaning he could now contract a second pet beast. So, it was time for him to seek out a suitable spirit beast egg or young pet beast. As for the third task, it was to use the Awakening Source Liquid to awaken his second Beast Tamer talent. Bai Zian hadn¡¯t forgotten about this. However, he had yet to gather all the required materials, which was why he hadn¡¯t started the process. Therefore, Bai Zian planned to stick to his original plan and visit various trading markets and auction houses in Bai Lin City. Using his [Eye of Revelation], he hoped to find the two remaining primary materials needed to make the Awakening Source Liquid. These were the tasks Bai Zian needed to accomplish. ¡°There¡¯s just over half a month left of summer vacation. I hope to complete the last two tasks before school starts.¡± Bai Zian murmured to himself, planning how to manage his time. Although his previous training at Candlefire Mountain only took nearly a month, constructing the Beast Space, hatching the White Scaled Fish, and helping it evolve had consumed quite a bit of his time. Adding in various other small matters, three-quarters of his two-month summer break had already passed. So, with only about half a month left, high school would soon be starting. Bai Zian aimed to finish everything before school began. Of course, training the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish was a long-term project and didn¡¯t fall within this time frame. With this in mind, Bai Zian began his preparations. However, before all this, there was something he still needed to confirm¡ªhis theory about the power of beast control. Previously, after the White Scaled Fish successfully evolved, Bai Zian officially became a Black Iron-level Beast Tamer, greatly increasing his beast control power. At that time, Bai Zian had speculated that his beast control power might be strong enough to allow him to condense a protective shield. This was crucial to him. After all, if he could create a protective shield, his safety would be much more assured. Naturally, Bai Zian didn¡¯t forget this. As for the method to condense the shield, that wasn¡¯t an issue either. Thanks to the [Eye of Revelation], obtaining the method to create a shield was absurdly easy. Moreover, Bai Zian received an unexpected bonus: [You are researching the method to construct a protective shield and have received a revelation from Heaven¡¯s Insight.][First method: Basic-level Shield Construction Method. Use beast control power to simply cover the body for a certain degree of protection.][Second method: Enhanced-level Shield Construction Method. Use beast control power in a specific sequence to strengthen the shield¡¯s defensive capability.][Third method: Perfect-level Shield Construction Method. Use beast control power in accordance with acupuncture points to form a perfect shield, significantly increasing defense and reducing energy consumption.] To his surprise, there were varying degrees of quality in shield construction methods. Bai Zian had only just learned of this. After all, this fell under the category of special secret techniques, so it was normal for ordinary Beast Tamers to be unaware of it. Bai Zian knew about it because his [Eye of Revelation] was a special talent. With that in mind, Bai Zian began practicing the Perfect-level Shield Construction, following the guidance of Heaven¡¯s Insight. Time passed quickly, and after a day, Bai Zian had changed somewhat. Now, just by standing there as usual, an almost imperceptible energy fluctuation surrounded him. Though weak in level, its special flow made the defense exceptionally strong. This was the perfect-level shield. With this, Bai Zian could finally rest easy. With the shield¡¯s protection, his safety was now more assured. Even if an enemy managed to break through the protective barrier of his two bodyguards, Bai Zian would still have some means of defending himself. This was undoubtedly great news for him. Once this task was completed, Bai Zian was ready to head out. It was time to complete the other two tasks¡ªfinding the materials and searching for a suitable pet beast. These were his next objectives. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Meet Fatty Yuan Again, the Yuan Family¡¯s Pet, the Armored Ape! ¡°Sister Bai Zhi, Sister Bai Shao, let¡¯s go out for a walk.¡± Having already made a decision, Bai Zian called Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, intending to take a stroll and see if there were any opportunities to pick up some bargains. The two sisters, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao, nodded in agreement. With that in mind, Bai Zian walked out of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Soon, Bai Zian arrived at one of the large markets in Bai Lin City. On the surface, Bai Lin City had three super-sized markets. These markets not only housed famous auction houses but also stores that traded in all kinds of spirit beast materials. However, this was just the surface, known as the open market, where all materials and resources being traded had traceable origins. Yes, the open market. However, hidden within Bai Lin City were also two underground black markets. The scale of these two black markets was remarkable, rivaling the three open markets. In addition, there were several smaller trade venues, but those were not worth mentioning. Three open markets and two black markets ¡ª this was the general layout of Bai Lin City¡¯s trading scene. This time, Bai Zian had come to one of the large open markets, the East Market. But instead of heading straight to the shops, he went to a teahouse, intending to take his time. The teahouse was always bustling with customers, including merchants from the other six main cities. Sometimes, while sipping tea here, one could overhear some interesting information. Yes, news from the other main cities. ¡°Young Master Bai is here! We haven¡¯t seen you in such a long time, we¡¯ve all missed you dearly!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a rare honor to have you here, Young Master Bai. We must make sure to treat you well today.¡± As soon as Bai Zian stepped into the teahouse, the owner, with a flattering smile plastered on his face, hurried over to greet him obsequiously. It was clear that Bai Zian was a regular here. Naturally, given that this was one of the more prosperous places in Bai Lin City, it was inevitable that Bai Zian would frequent it. ¡°The usual, same as before.¡± Bai Zian smiled faintly, paying no mind to the owner¡¯s flattery. Taking the hint, the teahouse owner quickly went to make arrangements without lingering to bother Bai Zian. For the next while, Bai Zian sat quietly, sipping tea and listening to the conversations of the other guests. ¡°I heard that at the auction in Lan Lan City, a diamond-grade material called ¡®Rapid Thunder Sand¡¯ appeared. Is that true?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true. I was there and saw the auction process with my own eyes.¡± ¡°My goodness! You have no idea how intense the bidding was ¡ª even the City Lord of Lan Lan joined in!¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Well, that¡¯s to be expected. Diamond-grade materials are coveted by the big players.¡± ¡°I heard that the granddaughter of the City Lord of Chi Yi City defeated a Bronze-ranked beast tamer last month despite being only Iron-ranked.¡± ¡°Old news. The beast tamer she defeated had a pet with high-level Bronze strength.¡± ¡°That¡¯s terrifying! To be able to leap across a major rank in battle with just Iron-level strength ¡ª is this what it means to be a true genius?¡± ¡°Hah, speaking of geniuses, who could compare to the grandsons of our own City Lord and Vice City Lord in Bai Lin City?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard that City Lord Bai Jingchong¡¯s grandson and Vice City Lord Feng Yangyan¡¯s granddaughter both awakened incredibly powerful talents during their awakening ceremony.¡± ¡°I bet they¡¯ll both grow into diamond-ranked beast tamers.¡± ¡°Absolutely, these are the real prodigies! If they meet the City Lord of Chi Yi¡¯s granddaughter, they¡¯ll definitely crush her.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Seated by the window, Bai Zian quietly drank his tea, listening to the surrounding conversations. Merchants traveling between the major cities were no ordinary people. The wilderness outside the cities was incredibly dangerous, and ordinary beast tamers wouldn¡¯t dare venture far from the safety of the city. In fact, the merchants traveling between these cities were at least Silver-ranked, and some were even Gold-ranked. Because of this, their conversations often touched on high-level topics, sometimes even involving diamond-grade materials. This was precisely why Bai Zian liked coming to this teahouse. Here, he could learn things that couldn¡¯t be heard within Bai Lin City itself. However, much to Bai Zian¡¯s dismay, the conversations sometimes veered off-topic. Just like the group earlier, who had somehow ended up talking about him. This left Bai Zian speechless. After half a day of listening and not hearing anything new, Bai Zian finally decided to leave. But just as he stepped out of the teahouse, a chubby figure rolled over from a distance and quickly arrived in front of him. ¡°Brother An, I¡¯ve missed you so much! Where have you been all this time?¡± ¡°I went to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion several times but couldn¡¯t find you. You don¡¯t want me anymore, do you?¡± Standing in front of Bai Zian was none other than his top follower ¡ª Yuan Pangzi (Fatty Yuan), whose full name was Yuan Potian. Compared to the time of the awakening ceremony, Fatty Yuan hadn¡¯t changed much, except that his tone had become even more plaintive, giving Bai Zian a headache. ¡°Fatty Yuan, if you keep talking like this, I¡¯ll treat you like a ball and kick you.¡± Bai Zian threatened him harshly, and only then did Yuan Potian give a sheepish grin, dropping the whiny tone. ¡°Brother An, have you formed a contract with a pet yet?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already successfully contracted a pet, and it¡¯s a very powerful one.¡± ¡°Guess what kind of pet I contracted, Brother An!¡± Fatty Yuan grinned broadly, unable to contain the joy in his heart, eager to share the news with Bai Zian. ¡°What else could it be? Uncle Yuan surely arranged for you to have an Iron Armored Ape.¡± Bai Zian replied calmly, without a hint of hesitation. Of course, this wasn¡¯t something Bai Zian learned using his [Eye of Revelation]. When it came to Fatty Yuan, Bai Zian didn¡¯t even need to use that ability. The Yuan family had always used ape-type spirit beasts. Even their family name, Yuan, which literally means ape, showed just how deep their connection was with ape-type spirit beasts. Moreover, Fatty Yuan¡¯s father, a Gold-ranked commander in Bai Lin City, used an Iron Armored Ape that had evolved into an Iron Helm Great Ape as his primary pet. So what pet Fatty Yuan would contract didn¡¯t require much thought. ¡°Not fun. I thought I could surprise you.¡± Hearing Bai Zian¡¯s words, Fatty Yuan pouted, clearly disappointed. As expected, Bai Zian had guessed it right. His contracted pet was indeed the Iron Armored Ape arranged by his family. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 A-level talent [Possession], [Eye of Apocalypse] upgraded! ¡°It¡¯s a bit of a pity. Originally, I wanted to find a pet beast with greater potential.¡± ¡°But my old man absolutely refused, insisting that I must contract with the Iron Armored Ape, or he wouldn¡¯t let me leave, and even threatened to break my legs.¡± ¡°With no other choice, I had to contract with the Iron Armored Ape.¡± Fatty Yuan said helplessly, showing a hint of frustration. In fact, the Iron Armored Ape, which had been used by his family for generations, wasn¡¯t his first choice. However, he couldn¡¯t go against his father¡¯s wishes, so in the end, he had no choice but to contract with the Iron Armored Ape. This was the reason for his current situation. ¡°You got lucky and you¡¯re still complaining. Your family¡¯s Iron Armored Ape is actually pretty good.¡± ¡°With your [Possession] talent, if you train it well, it will definitely be a great help to you.¡± Bai Zian gave him a punch and looked at Fatty Yuan, speechless. To be honest, for an ordinary beast tamer, the Yuan family¡¯s Iron Armored Ape was definitely an outstanding spirit beast. [Possession]: Allows the pet beast to merge with the beast tamer, combining the two, enabling the beast tamer to use the pet beast¡¯s power. To be honest, Fatty Yuan¡¯s beast tamer talent was quite impressive. This special talent, combined with his family¡¯s Iron Armored Ape, could unleash formidable combat power. Although Fatty Yuan often looked pitiful and aggrieved in front of Bai Zian, among ordinary people, he would still be considered a genius. It¡¯s just that in front of a super-genius like Bai Zian, Fatty Yuan couldn¡¯t help but feel inferior and didn¡¯t dare to act tough. This was Fatty Yuan¡¯s situation. That¡¯s why Bai Zian said what he did. ¡°All right, since Brother An said so, I¡¯ll listen to him.¡± Fatty Yuan nodded, putting away his helpless expression. He had always listened to Bai Zian¡¯s words. ¡°By the way, Brother An, since you¡¯re out today, how about we go have some fun? I found a really interesting place.¡± Suddenly, Fatty Yuan¡¯s expression shifted, as if he had thought of something, and he showed a sly smile. Bai Zian couldn¡¯t help but feel speechless. Knowing Fatty Yuan well, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be a good place. To be honest, back in the day, he had done some foolish things with Fatty Yuan. But that was youthful recklessness. Now that they¡¯ve become beast tamers, they naturally couldn¡¯t behave like they used to. More importantly, Bai Zian had many matters to attend to and didn¡¯t have time to mess around with Fatty Yuan. ¡°Forget it, I still plan to walk around the market and see if there¡¯s anything good.¡± Bai Zian declined directly. Then, he headed towards the direction of the marketplace. ¡°All right, you¡¯re the boss, whatever you say goes.¡± ¡°Brother An, if there¡¯s anything you want to buy, I can help you check it out.¡± Fatty Yuan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change after Bai Zian refused, and he shrugged slightly. Because in the past, when they went out to play, Bai Zian was usually the one in charge. Now that Bai Zian wasn¡¯t in the mood for fun, he naturally didn¡¯t have anything to say. In fact, Fatty Yuan naturally followed Bai Zian, slowly strolling through the streets. Bai Zian didn¡¯t say much about this either. After all, when wandering around, having someone to chat with wasn¡¯t a bad thing. The two of them walked down the street, chatting as they went. Of course, even while chatting, Bai Zian¡¯s main focus remained on scanning the surroundings. He had long activated the detection effect of his [Eye of Revelation]. Speaking of the [Eye of Revelation], Bai Zian suddenly recalled something. As Bai Zian¡¯s strength had improved and he had advanced to the Iron-tier, the detection range of the [Eye of Revelation] had expanded significantly. When he first awakened the [Eye of Revelation] talent, Bai Zian could only detect within a 10-meter radius centered on him. But after advancing to the Iron-tier, the detection range of the [Eye of Revelation] increased greatly. Now, Bai Zian could detect everything within a 100-meter radius around him. With a 100-meter radius covered, the detection capability of the [Eye of Revelation] had improved tremendously. In short, the [Eye of Revelation] had upgraded! As long as Bai Zian walked down the street, none of the items in the nearby stores could escape his gaze. [75 meters to the left: detected Iron-tier spirit beast Scarlet Fire Hound core.][55 meters to the right: detected Bronze-tier material Poison Thorn Root.][¡­¡­] As soon as Bai Zian activated the [Eye of Revelation], various prompts kept appearing before him. For Bai Zian, this was no small challenge. After all, all sorts of prompts kept popping up before his eyes. Finding what he was looking for wasn¡¯t an easy task. Because of this, Bai Zian¡¯s pace gradually slowed down. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fatty Yuan, walking beside him, was puzzled by Bai Zian¡¯s actions. In the end, Bai Zian had no choice but to filter out the detection of resources below Silver-tier. Indeed, the [Eye of Revelation] could filter out some prompts. It was a simple application of the talent. Bai Zian had known this for a while and had mastered the ability. However, under normal circumstances, Bai Zian wouldn¡¯t choose to filter the prompts. In his opinion, even lower-tier items could sometimes be useful. If he filtered them, he might miss out on something valuable. But this time, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t take it anymore. With the continuous flood of prompts appearing in front of him, it was overwhelming. However, it was understandable. After all, he was in one of the largest markets in White Lin City. Such a situation was to be expected. So, after a bit of thought, Bai Zian decided to filter out all resources below Silver-tier. Immediately, Bai Zian felt as if the world had become clearer. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 An Unexpected Harvest, Diamond-Grade Material Tianyuan Tears! After filtering out the lower-grade materials, Bai Zian immediately felt much more relaxed. From now on, the only resource prompts that would appear in front of him would be silver-grade or higher, which would save him considerable energy. With this in mind, Bai Zian walked slowly through the bustling market street, accompanied by Fatty Yuan. As one of Bai Lin City¡¯s main commercial areas, Bai Zian truly found some decent items in this market. He spotted hundreds of silver-grade cores and even dozens of gold-grade resources. However, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t particularly interested in these materials. Firstly, his family already had a decent stock of such items, so there was no need for him to make any external purchases. Secondly, most of the gold-grade materials were not related to water, which limited their usefulness to him for the time being. Moreover, since this was a public market with transparent sources, all resources were clearly labeled with prices, leaving Bai Zian no room for opportunistic bargains. Because of this, Bai Zian¡¯s enthusiasm dwindled. After wandering through the market, he only purchased one or two gold-grade materials before losing interest altogether. As for the two diamond-grade materials and the ideal pet beast cub he was searching for, Bai Zian found none. Nevertheless, Bai Zian wasn¡¯t anxious. After all, Bai Lin City had more than just this one market. In addition to the one they were currently in, there were two other public markets and two underground black markets in the city. Thus, over the following days, Bai Zian began exploring these markets. To his surprise, his luck seemed favorable. As soon as he entered the first underground black market, Bai Zian immediately had a breakthrough. [100 meters to the left, a diamond-grade material ¡®Tianyuan Tear¡¯ has been detected.] Walking through the underground market¡¯s streets, a sudden prompt from the Eye of Revelation system appeared before Bai Zian¡¯s eyes, causing them to light up instantly. ¡°Tian Yuan Tear? One of the three diamond-grade materials needed to create the Awakening Essence? I can¡¯t believe I actually found it!¡± Bai Zian was elated. To be honest, although he had hoped to stumble upon a rare find and gather the materials for the Awakening Essence, Bai Zian knew very well how difficult it was to acquire these three primary materials. Just the term ¡°diamond-grade¡± was enough to indicate its rarity. Under normal circumstances, an average beast tamer would have no chance of obtaining such a thing, let alone selling it in a market. With that in mind, Bai Zian took a moment to calm himself before following the Heavenly Eye¡¯s prompt to the location of the Tianyuan Tear. It didn¡¯t take long for him to find it. He arrived at an old, worn-out shop that looked like it had been around for a long time. The decrepit counter displayed a variety of materials, with quality ranging from low to high. There were items of no particular value as well as some silver-grade materials. As for the Tianyuan Tear Bai Zian was so eager to find, it appeared to be nothing more than a dull pebble, placed among some bronze-grade materials. Frankly, if it weren¡¯t for his Eye of Revelation system, which allowed him to see the true essence of things, Bai Zian would never have believed that this ordinary-looking stone was actually a diamond-grade material. But Bai Zian didn¡¯t mind this at all¡ªin fact, he was pleased. It was precisely because the brilliance of the Tianyuan Tear was obscured that he now had the chance to snag it at a bargain. With this thought, Bai Zian quickly made up his mind. He planned to purchase the Tianyuan Tear right away. With that, Bai Zian turned his attention to the shopkeeper. The elderly man, with white hair and beard, appeared quite ordinary, but his deep gaze hinted at a life full of experiences. This gave Bai Zian pause. After all, in the novels he used to read, it was common to find some sage-like elder wandering among the common folk, hiding in plain sight. Then, by a stroke of fate, they would become the protagonist¡¯s mentor, guiding them to greatness. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If this old shopkeeper were such a person, Bai Zian would need to tread carefully. Thinking this, Bai Zian activated his Eye of Revelation to inspect the shopkeeper. Upon discovering that the old man was merely a silver-grade beast tamer, Bai Zian finally relaxed. He almost thought he had stumbled upon some hidden tamer. The shopkeeper¡¯s demeanor and appearance had been too deceiving¡ªjust shy of having ¡°I have a story, do you have wine?¡± written on his face. Of course, to be cautious, Bai Zian investigated further, even examining the shopkeeper¡¯s contracted beasts. In the end, it turned out that the shopkeeper really was just an ordinary silver-grade beast tamer, not the hidden expert Bai Zian had feared. With his worries alleviated, Bai Zian casually asked, ¡°Boss, how much for these items?¡± He picked up two or three iron- and bronze-grade resources, with the Tianyuan Tear discreetly wrapped among them. After all, if he were to purchase just the Tianyuan Tear, it would be too obvious and he¡¯d risk being overcharged. ¡°You¡¯ve got a sharp eye. I¡¯ll give it to you for 10 million Jiuzhou Coins.¡± The shopkeeper said with a sly grin, quoting an absurd price. Bai Zian was speechless. This was the second time this had happened. The last time, in Candlelight City, a street vendor had tried the same thing, asking for millions right off the bat. It seemed the black market merchants all had one thing in common: a dirty heart. ¡°Boss, take a good look. Do these three pieces of iron-grade materials really cost 10 million Jiuzhou Coins?¡± Bai Zian said indifferently as he slightly opened his bag, revealing the insignia of the Bai family. ¡°Haha, young man, you¡¯re quite the joker! I was just teasing you earlier to liven things up,¡± the shopkeeper¡¯s face paled as cold sweat formed on his forehead. His attitude did a complete 180 as he nervously laughed. ¡°These bits of junk? How could they be worth that much? If you like them, just take them as a gift¡ªconsider it my way of making a friend.¡± After seeing the crest of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion on Bai Zian¡¯s belongings, the shopkeeper¡¯s demeanor changed instantly. The once greedy merchant now wore a forced smile, trying his best to appease him. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Tianyuan Tear in Hand, the Choice of the Second Spirit Beast! In the entire Bai Lin City, who doesn¡¯t know the Bai family¡¯s emblem? Bai Zian could present that emblem, which signified his origin from the City Lord¡¯s Bai family. In this context, how could a mere silver-tier beast tamer dare to trick Bai Zian? Thus, the shopkeeper¡¯s attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change. ¡°No need for gifts; don¡¯t just throw around a price of ten million Kyushu coins.¡± ¡°According to the market price, it¡¯s at most one million; let¡¯s settle on that.¡± Bai Zian shook his head slightly. Although he wanted to find a bargain, the shopkeeper was just an ordinary person, not a life-or-death adversary. Bai Zian had no intention of squeezing him dry; he planned to purchase it at the obvious market price. With this, the shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief and happily agreed. After all, if Bai Zian had simply taken these items, the shopkeeper would have faced a considerable loss. Now that Bai Zian was willing to pay the market price, it was already a good outcome for him. Naturally, the shopkeeper was extremely pleased. With that, this business was considered complete. The diamond-tier material, Tianyuan Tears, had finally fallen into Bai Zian¡¯s hands. Unlike the previous situation in Candlefire City, where there were young masters or beast tamers trying to meddle and compete with him for resources, that didn¡¯t happen here. That was inevitable. In Candlefire City, there weren¡¯t many who recognized him, after all. But Bai Lin City was his territory! It would be absurd if he were still subject to being put down by others in Bai Lin City. After all, who in Bai Lin City didn¡¯t know that he, Bai Zian, was the biggest young master around? With that thought, Bai Zian stored away the Tianyuan Tears and slowly left the rundown shop. ¡°The three main materials for crafting Awakening Essence are: Nixia Secret Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears.¡± ¡°Now, I have already obtained two; only the final Qingyun Dew remains.¡± ¡°If luck is on my side, I can refine the Awakening Essence and try to awaken my second beast taming talent.¡± As he walked, Bai Zian¡¯s eyes sparkled with uncontainable joy. He never expected the progress in collecting the materials for the Awakening Essence to be this swift. In just a few days, he had gathered most of the materials, with only one left. If he got lucky and found the last material, his wish to awaken a second beast taming talent might just become a reality. The most important point was that he had only explored a part of Bai Lin City¡¯s five large markets. There was still one open market and one black market that he hadn¡¯t visited yet due to their relatively remote locations. There was a chance he could find what he was looking for in those large markets. With this in mind, Bai Zian continued to stroll around. Over the next two days, Bai Zian thoroughly explored the remaining two large markets. However, this time, his luck wasn¡¯t as good. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although he walked through all these markets, he didn¡¯t find the diamond-tier material, Qingyun Dew. This left Bai Zian feeling a bit helpless. ¡°It¡¯s a pity; I initially thought I could gather all the materials for crafting the Awakening Essence in one go.¡± Bai Zian sighed inwardly. Of course, while he felt some regret, he wasn¡¯t disheartened. He had been mentally prepared for this. If diamond-tier materials were so easy to come by, they wouldn¡¯t be classified as diamond-tier. Moreover, Bai Zian had another avenue to explore. That was the power of the Bai family. Previously, Bai Zian had entrusted Bai Jingchong to help him collect these materials. Several days had passed, and perhaps Bai Jingchong had received some new information. For this reason, Bai Zian remained optimistic. ¡°However, speaking of which, even though I didn¡¯t find Qingyun Dew, I didn¡¯t come away empty-handed.¡± Bai Zian murmured as he took out three special crystals. These were the crystal cores from a spirit beast known as the Rubber Gel Bone Ape. The Rubber Gel Bone Ape was a gold-tier spirit beast, and due to its properties¡ªmuscles like rubber and bones like gel¡ªit could stretch its form. Because of this, the Rubber Gel Bone Ape also gained a special inherited skill called Size Adjustment. As the name suggests, this skill allows a spirit beast to enlarge or shrink its body. To be honest, Bai Zian thought this skill would be perfect for the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish. At its current stage, the evolution goal for the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish was a whale-type spirit beast. Thus, the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish¡¯s size already far exceeded that of other spirit beasts of the same level. While a larger size could amplify a spirit beast¡¯s strength, it sometimes brought along inconveniences. Like right now, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t summon the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish on the street. If there were a skill that allowed the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish to freely control its size, that would be ideal. For this reason, Bai Zian had set his sights on the crystal core of the Rubber Gel Bone Ape. So, when he spotted the crystal core for sale in the market, he promptly purchased it. This was a nice gain for Bai Zian. As for the second beast he desired, during the time he was scouring the markets for materials, he also kept an eye out for spirit beast cubs and eggs. Although several decent spirit beast eggs appeared in the large markets, Bai Zian ultimately didn¡¯t make a purchase. He found that many of the spirit beast eggs and cubs didn¡¯t meet his standards. Some had low growth potential and could only reach the gold-tier. Others were water-type spirit beasts, overlapping in attributes with the White Shadow Giant Scaled Fish. Given multiple factors, Bai Zian still didn¡¯t choose any of these spirit beasts. It seemed he would have to tap into the Bai family¡¯s resources. He decided to ask his grandfather if there were any good sources for spirit beasts. Thinking of this, Bai Zian had already made up his mind. With that thought, he left the market and returned directly to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Upon arriving at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, Bai Zian happened to see his grandfather, Bai Jingchong, returning home as well. So, Bai Zian quickly approached his grandfather and chatted with him. After a while, Bai Zian finally expressed his thoughts. ¡°Grandpa, I have successfully broken through to the Black Iron tier and can contract a second spirit beast. Do you have any good recommendations?¡± Bai Zian directly inquired of Bai Jingchong. Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Diamond-Grade Material Qingyun Dew Appears, Head to Chi Yi City! ¡°Are you planning to contract a second beast? I see, it¡¯s about time.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Xiao An, do you have any specific requirements for your second beast?¡± Hearing Bai Zian¡¯s words, Bai Jingchong nodded slightly. In fact, he had been expecting this conversation. Bai Zian had already advanced to the Black Iron rank, so it was time for him to contract a second beast. Unlike before, Bai Jingchong wouldn¡¯t interfere with Bai Zian¡¯s choice this time, letting him make the decision himself. After all, Bai Zian¡¯s first beast was already a water-type, fulfilling the Bai family¡¯s requirements. Hence, Bai Jingchong was now more focused on what Bai Zian wanted for his second beast. ¡°For my second beast, I prefer a flying-type spirit beast¡­¡± Bai Zian responded without hesitation, stating his preference. A flying-type beast had always been in his plans, offering numerous advantages. The ability to fly would significantly increase his safety. Imagine encountering a spirit beast or enemy he couldn¡¯t defeat¡ªhaving a flying-type beast could carry him away from danger. While Bai Yin Fish could evolve into the sky-soaring Kunpeng after nine evolutions, gaining the ability to fly, Bai Zian knew that this evolution was far off. He couldn¡¯t wait for that day; he wanted a flying-type beast now. ¡°A flying-type spirit beast, huh? That shouldn¡¯t be too difficult.¡± ¡°The flying beasts of Chi Yi City are quite impressive,¡± Bai Jingchong pondered briefly before providing an answer. In the secret world of the Ten Thousand Spider Nest, cities were named with specific rules. A place called a ¡°Shi¡± (town) was a subsidiary city under a main city, while a ¡°Cheng¡± (city) indicated one of the seven large central city bases, also known as the seven main cities. Chi Yi City, being one of the main cities, specialized in fire-type and flying-type beasts. Bai Jingchong¡¯s suggestion made Bai Zian¡¯s eyes light up, aligning perfectly with his own thoughts. He had already considered Chi Yi City, knowing that Bai Lin City didn¡¯t have the flying-type spirit beasts he desired. He had been planning to visit Chi Yi City before school started. Just then, a knock echoed through the room. A plain-looking middle-aged man entered, handed Bai Jingchong a sealed letter, and left. ¡°Grandfather, has something happened?¡± Bai Zian asked curiously. He recognized the man as Bai Ya, one of the Bai family¡¯s stewards responsible for intelligence. Given the urgency with which Bai Ya delivered the message, it must have been important. ¡°Xiao An, you¡¯re in luck.¡± ¡°There¡¯s news from Chi Yi City¡ªa material you¡¯re looking for has appeared at an auction there,¡± Bai Jingchong smiled as he spoke, revealing the contents of the letter. Bai Zian¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement. He had previously asked his grandfather to help him find materials for crafting the Awakening Origin Liquid, including Nixia Secret Leaf, Qingyun Dew, and Tianyuan Tears. ¡°Really, Grandfather? Which material appeared in the auction at Chi Yi City?¡± Bai Zian asked eagerly. ¡°According to the message we received, the diamond-grade material Qingyun Dew has surfaced.¡± Bai Jingchong said. At these words, Bai Zian couldn¡¯t contain his joy. He had already obtained the Nixia Secret Leaf and Tianyuan Tears, only missing the Qingyun Dew. And now, it was appearing in an auction. This was a huge surprise. With this material, he could finally start crafting the Awakening Origin Liquid and potentially awaken his second beast-taming talent. ¡°I need to go to Chi Yi City,¡± Bai Zian said with determination. ¡°Naturally, and this time, I¡¯ll be going with you,¡± Bai Jingchong nodded. Bai Zian was a bit surprised that his grandfather wanted to accompany him, but upon reflection, it made sense. Qingyun Dew was a diamond-grade material, highly coveted by powerful beast tamers. As a mere Black Iron rank tamer, Bai Zian wouldn¡¯t stand a chance of securing the material on his own, even with his Bai family status. Furthermore, even if he did manage to obtain the Qingyun Dew, there was a high likelihood that other tamers might target him for it. A diamond-grade material was enough to tempt anyone into taking risks. ¡°Thank you, Grandfather,¡± Bai Zian expressed his gratitude sincerely, realizing the importance of having his grandfather¡¯s protection. With that, the plan was set. Bai Jingchong and Bai Zian would make the trip to Chi Yi City together.
