《In This World of Beasts, I Am The Biggest BOSS!》 CH 1 Yangtze. Junior¡¯s Beast Master Academy. Freshman, Class Seven. At this moment, in the last row, a teenager in the middle column raised his head and looked around blankly. The emotion in his eyes changed immediately ¨C it was full of surprise and shock. His name is Wei Feng, a freshman at Yangtze Junior Beast Master Academy, but just three seconds ago, his body was taken over by the soul of a mysterious young man from a different planet. In just a few seconds, Wei Feng has changed entirely. The soul who possessed him is also named Wei Feng, and he is a fresh graduate of an engineering school. A mysterious accident caused this Wei Feng¡¯s soul to be transported to this world of beastmasters similar to Earth, but then again, completely different. Scouring the memories of the body¡¯s previous inhabitant, Wei Feng came to two conclusions. First, this world is similar to that of Earth ¨C advanced in technology with a booming civilization. But there was something different. Beasts! This is a world where everyone is a beastmaster. Everyone here is a beastmaster, be it strong or weak. Some can summon and tame wild beasts and stand at the peak of this world; some can only summon and control livestock like cattle and sheep, and they are at the bottom of this beast-taming food chain. According to these memories, five hundred years ago, catastrophe struck this world, and it nearly destroyed the entire world. However, it also brought new life. Since then, wild beasts are thriving. This was the beginning of the Age of Beasts. After the Age of Beasts began, mysterious energy appeared in this world. For the first hundred years, some people sensed this energy, and called it ¡°The Power of Summoning.¡± The power of summoning was improved and mastered over the years, until a complete system was established two hundred years ago. Summoning Flow! Humans born after the Age of Beasts have this ¡°summoning power¡± in their bodies. By constructing a predetermined ritualistic symbol, various kinds of beasts can be summoned. The strength of the beast directly correlates to the spiritual power of the beastmaster. Moreover, spiritual power can be measured concretely. Before the Age of Beasts, this world discovered that there was a domain in the human brain. Spiritual power can be found in this domain. At the time, it was like discovering a whole new world. However, due to the lack of knowledge and vast area of the brain, it was impossible to study it. Hence, there weren¡¯t any means to explore the brain domain or control the mind. It was not until the Age of Beasts that there was a turning point in this discovery ¨C the emergence of summoning power allows human beings to control spiritual power. You could explore the domain of the brain with mental powers ¨C the more the brain has been explored, the stronger the mental power. This also increases the summoning power, which is key in controlling spiritual power. The two are inseparable and complement each other. ¡­ ¡°Hey! What are you daydreaming about?¡± A ball of waste paper was suddenly thrown from the right. Wei Feng turned his head and looked to the right. There are five seats in each row ¨C he is sitting in the middle. So, there are two classmates on his left and right. The guy on the right, wearing the orange crewneck sweater, gray cropped pants, and white sneakers ¨C his name is Liu Shuan. He is Wei Feng¡¯s tablemate, but also Wei Feng¡¯s neighbor. The two grew up together and lived by the coastal town of the North Road of Yangtze. ¡°Nothing,¡± he replied and shook his head, looking forward. The headteacher of their class, Yu Fuhai is demonstrating a summoning symbol on the touch screen blackboard. This is today¡¯s lesson. This is the first step to becoming a beastmaster. Learning to draw summoning symbols. By learning how to draw the symbols, then combining and arranging them, only then could you construct a summoning formation. It¡¯s strangely scientific. It¡¯s just like learning Chinese characters ¨C forming words to make sentences. Unlike Chinese, it cannot generate spiritual energy after forming sentences; however, summoning symbols can be combined and arranged. ¡­ Wei Feng opened the book in front of him, and one hundred and thirty-five summoning symbols are recorded in this ¡°Basic Beast Master Runes¡± book. All freshmen must learn at least fifteen primary summoning symbols within the first day, and then arrange the runes to summon their first beast. Normally, it¡¯s impossible. The teacher drew fifteen primary summoning symbols on the blackboard, then began to explain. How to combine, how to arrange ¨C it was a fast, concise explanation. Wei Feng listened carefully, even though he had already learned this. In fact, his entire class has probably already learned this. Although it was stated that you must be sixteen before you can make your first summoning, everyone starts to learn how to draw symbols and practice combinations and arrangements at the age of ten. Everyone knows this, but the teacher explained that he was just recapping. Everyone is just looking forward to their first summon. He spoke briefly, then moved a cardboard box into the room. Then, he began to draw auxiliary formations. This is the key step. This is the reason why each student has not summoned their own beast even though they have learned the basic summoning formations. Research by beast masters shows that human beings at the age of sixteen are at the most active age of spiritual energy. Hence, it is the most suitable age for their first summoning. This auxiliary formation that the headteacher drawn can greatly increase the probability of summoning powerful beasts. Anyone who does summoning without this auxiliary formation is a fool. ¡­ The materials for this auxiliary formation are relatively rare. Generally, apart from the academy, only rich families possess them. The teacher then took out more than ten stones of different colors and arranged them on the podium. There are a total of five colors on these stones ¨C black, white, blue, red, yellow. After half an hour, he arranged the stones into the drawn auxiliary formation. It was a pentagram, each star¡¯s tips are a different color, and extended towards the center. When the colors collided, it showed a shade of gray, forming at the center of the pentagram. Wei Feng saw that the teacher breathed a sigh of relief when he finished the pentagram ¨C he was wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Then, he took an oval-shaped, palm-sized metal instrument and threw it up in the air. The metal instrument immediately levitated in the air, and it can detect the mental strength of a person. The teacher clapped his hands together, glanced at his students, and said, ¡°Okay, before your first summon, let¡¯s test your mental power!¡± ¡­ CH 2 ¡°Ma Shi, your mental strength is 4.¡± The class monitor Wu Jiajia shouted in a clear voice. The class went up one by one and stood in the blue light emanating from the mental strength detector, testing their own mental strength. It is said that at the age of sixteen, the highest mental strength in the Federation is 15. The mental strength was tested very quickly, and it was the last row¡¯s turn was in less than five minutes. The current highest mental strength in the class was 8. It was Zhao Ming, who was sitting on the right side of monitor Wu Jiajia. Zhao Ming is extremely rich. ¡°Liu Shuan, your mental strength is 6!¡± There was a hint of surprise in Wu Jiajia¡¯s voice, because her mental strength was also six. ¡°Wei Feng, your mental strength is 5.¡± Wei Feng got off the podium, glanced curiously at the detector above his head, and then walked back to his seat. There are eleven people in class with a mental strength of 5. ¡°Wang Liangliang, your mental strength is 5.¡± Twelve now. The last one who went up to test was Liu Weiwei, the classmate on the far left of Wei Feng. A girl, but she is tall and rugged. To everyone¡¯s surprise, Liu Weiwei¡¯s mental strength has reached ten points! This even shocked the teacher ¨C he said that she had the highest mental strength among the freshmen. Nobody really cared, though. Everyone was focused on their first summoning. This is the moment that decides the fate of your life! The headteacher Yu Fuhai once again explained the things that needed special attention, and the first summoning soon began. He started with the first row. Wang Xin stepped onto the podium and stood in the center of the auxiliary formation. With his hands trembling slightly with excitement, he drew fifteen primary summoning symbols, then combined and arranged them. Moon-white-colored pentagrams formed in front of him. The white light of the moon was the power of summoning. After Wang Xin arranged the summoning formation, his summoning power was worthy of lighting it up. At this moment, the auxiliary formation under his feet glowed, and a ray of gray light penetrated into Wang Xin¡¯s body. Then, the moon-white pentagram in front of Wang Xin suddenly burst into dazzling light. ¡°Ouch-¡° At the same time, a low wolf howl came from the pentagram. The whole class widened their eyes and looked at the increasingly clear black shadow in the pentagram formation. ¡°A wolf!¡± The teacher blurted out when he saw the wolf claw reaching in from the pentagram. Immediately afterward, a dark wolf with a height of about one meter and shiny black fur stepped out from the pentagram formation. ¡°Buzz!¡± Wang Xin¡¯s five-pointed star formation trembled slightly, then quickly contracted and gathered together to form a symbol, which was then printed on the forehead of the wolf. It is done! With the summoning imprint, this secluded wolf became Wang Xin¡¯s beast. Since then, Wang Xin has officially become a beastmaster. ¡°Wang Xin, the summoning was successful. It is a First-Order1 Nether Wolf!¡± Wu Jiajia continued to record on the tablet in front of her. Royal beasts are divided into tiers, like this nether wolf has reached the level of the first tier, which is very good. Next, Zhao Ming came to the stage and began to summon for the first time. Compared with Wang Xin, Zhao Ming is obviously much more stable. He was skilled in the drawing of summoning symbols, combinations, and arrangements. Not long after, a pentagram appeared. Looking at the pentagram in front of Zhao Ming, Wei Feng was a little surprised. The brightness is much brighter than Wang Xin¡¯s summoning formation. The auxiliary formation still glowed, making Zhao Ming¡¯s summoning formation even more bright. ¡°Hiss!¡± A low and sharp hiss came from the pentagram. Then, a blue two-tailed scorpion about twice the size of Wang Xin¡¯s ghost wolf climbed out of the summoning formation. The two-tailed scorpion has a faint blue body, and the tips of its two tails are thorns, one flashing scarlet, and the other flashing emerald green. ¡°Wow! What kind of beast is this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too handsome!¡± ¡­ Some classmates exclaimed and stood up, with a look of envy flashing in their eyes. ¡°Alas! We can¡¯t compare with the children of rich families,¡± Liu Shuan sighed and shook his head. Wei Feng turned to look at Liu Shuan. Before he could speak, Liu Shuan whispered again to him. ¡°I heard that Zhao Ming drank two bottles of [CE-07 Medicine] in the morning.¡± Wei Feng was dumbfounded because he also knew about CE-07 medicine. This is a medicine that increases the activity of the power of summoning in a short period of time. ¡°Zhao Ming, the summoning is successful. Royal Beast: Second-Order Demonic Twin-tailed Scorpion.¡± Wu Jiajia¡¯s voice sounded. Wei Feng turned to look at the imperial beast beside Zhao Ming, the scarlet and emerald green tails swayed, and the air was filled with a faint smell of rancid sweetness. The poisonous twin-tailed scorpion is said to have hallucinogenic scarlet thorns, while its green thorns are highly poisonous. This is a powerful species that is extremely rare among second-order royal beasts! ¡­ Next, the students came to the stage one by one for their first summoning. Even if there is an auxiliary formation, the summons of several classmates is still not ideal. Ma Shi summoned a chicken, which is an ordinary livestock ¨C if cooked with some mushrooms and simmered, it would taste delicious. Twenty-five summons in ten minutes. After Liu Shuan went up and summoned, it was finally Wei Feng¡¯s turn. Liu Shuan¡¯s first summon was very good. It was a first-order shadow leopard, which was a bit stronger than the nether wolf. ¡°Let¡¯s get it!¡± Liu Shuan gave words of encouragement to Wei Feng. To be honest, Wei Feng was a little excited. After all, he is experiencing this for the first time in this strange new world. Standing in the center of the auxiliary formation, Wei Feng began to draw according to the summoning symbol in his memory. Combination, arrangement, almost in one go. At this moment, Wei Feng clearly felt that there was a magical power pouring out of his body, pouring into those summoning symbols, lighting up the pentagram. ¡°Buzz!¡± The auxiliary formation under his feet glowed, and a ray of gray light penetrated into his body. The magical power surged crazily, and rushed towards the summoning symbol, causing the summoning formation to burst into a bright light. The gray light emitted by the auxiliary formation did not transform into the power of summoning. It just stimulated the power of summoning hidden in Wei Feng¡¯s body, causing it to burst out. It¡¯s pouring spiritual energy into the pentagram! Just when this idea popped into Wei Feng¡¯s mind, something unexpected suddenly occurred. He clearly noticed that from the soles of his feet, strands of gray light were constantly pouring into his body. Wei Feng glanced down quietly. The five-colored stones flickered with light, the light colliding with the center, colliding with strands of gray light, and then pouring into his body from the soles of his feet. Nobody noticed this strange phenomenon. Sounds of stones rolling can be heard in the pentagram, then stopped. A system prompt lit up in his head. Ding! [NOTICE: You have summoned the strongest beast and are now spiritually bound to it.] [NOTICE: Open the properties panel.] [NOTICE: You have unlocked the core ability of [Harden Skin] of the royal beast [Stone Man].] [NOTICE: [Power of Control] has been activated.] 1 Order can be interchanged with level, i.e. First-Order means Level 1, Second-Order means Level 2, etc¡­ CH 3 A series of prompts rang out in his head, and Wei Feng noticed that a blue prompt had appeared. ¡°Boom!¡± A stone man of about two meters stepped out of the pentagram in front of him; the moon-white pentagram shrank and imprinted its symbol onto the stone man¡¯s forehead. He, too, was successful with his first summoning. In an instant, he had access to all of the information about the stone man in his mind. This is meant to be used between the beastmaster and the beast. ¡°Wei Feng ¨C successful summoning. Royal Beast: First-Order Stone Man. ¡± The class monitor, Wu Jiajia, continued to record on the tablet in front of her. Wei Feng unsummoned his stone man and walked back to his seat. Wang Liangliang, who was after him, summoned a pug. ¡­ Finally, Liu Weiwei, who had a mental strength of ten, stepped onto the podium to perform her first summoning, and the outcome was unexpected. She summoned a male lion, but it was merely a male lion. It isn¡¯t even a first-order royal beast. It¡¯s truly embarrassing in comparison to Zhao Ming. It seems that even if you have promising talent, it is not as strong as having a financial head-start. After everyone finished their summoning, the teacher began to disperse the auxiliary formation. Wei Feng paid close attention ¨C it seems that the gray rays of light that he absorbed did not cause much damage to the colorful stones. The teacher then comforted the students who had received an unsatisfactory summon. Although the first summoning was significant, he reassured them that there would be additional opportunities to summon in the future. And it¡¯s not empty promises either¡ªthe Federation recorded that there was a beastmaster whose first summon was a cow, but his second summon was a prehistoric alien! Today, that same beastmaster holds a high position in the Federation. Despite the teacher¡¯s encouragement, the students who had poor summons were still sad. After all, it was just a rare example. If they didn¡¯t do well on their first summoning, their parents would most likely not allow them to come back the next day. The clock struck twelve o¡¯clock. The teacher then dismissed the class. Today¡¯s class only lasts half a day. Tomorrow, it¡¯ll be a full day. Li Shuan was very happy. Together with Wei Feng, they walked through the vast playground of the academy, and after exiting the school gate, they walked toward their houses along the North Road of the Yangtze. Wei Feng mentally checked the blue panel in his mind. [Properties] Host: Wei Feng [Possesses the strongest Beastmaster System]. Age: 16 Rank: Junior Beastmaster Strength: 4+ (2.5) Agility: 7+(1) Spirit: 5+(2) Power of Control: Primary Effect ¨C [You gain 5% of all the attributes of your beasts.] [Harden Skin] (Source: Stone Man) ¨C Hardens your skin and resists blunt weapon attacks of no greater than 60 power. Royal Beast: [First Order Stone Man] ¡­ Wei Feng read it three times carefully. This is the system panel, and his abilities are amazing! Among the abilities, [Power of Control] makes him obtain 5% of his beast¡¯s attributes. Even tho the virus may be small now, it can grow. And his core ability is even more powerful, allowing him to directly obtain the ability of the Stone Man himself! When you become a beastmaster, there is a shared information panel between you and the beast, from which you can obtain information about the beast you summoned. [Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Stone Man Level: 1 Main Element: Earth Strength: 50 Agility: 20 Spirit Energy: 40 [Stone Skin]¡ªBlocks any attack below 60 power. Type: Evolvable ¡­ This information panel can be read by other beastmasters, but only if the other party¡¯s mental strength is stronger than Wei Feng¡¯s. [30 minutes later] Zuoan District, Block Seven, 12th Floor. Wei Feng and Liu Shuan walked out of the elevator and began walking toward their own home. They were both smiling ¨C after all, they were both among the students who had received a great first summon. Wei Feng¡¯s unit was 301, while Liu Shuan¡¯s unit was 302. There are two other units, but the relationship between them is poor. Wei Feng unlocked his unit¡¯s door. The room was messy and empty. The conditions of living aren¡¯t very good¡ªhis parents divorced, and his mother remarried a rich man. Every month, the rich man would pay Wei Feng a living allowance on schedule. However, this money would be taken away by his own father, Wei Qing. Wei Feng has never seen a single cent given to him. Wei Qing has also been unemployed since the divorce and has since become addicted to mahjong. If you called him on the telephone, he would also be playing mahjong or trying to play mahjong. Wandering around the room, Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh when he saw both familiar and unfamiliar things. In the two-bedroom, one-hall house, there is nothing of value! Opening the refrigerator, Wei Feng was about to get something to eat when the doorbell suddenly rang. Liu Shuan was standing outside. ¡°My mom made dumplings!¡± ¡­ After having lunch at Liu Shuan¡¯s house, Wei Feng returned to his house, turning on the LCD TV on the floor. Don¡¯t ask why the TV is on the ground; they have no furniture. As the screen lights up, the news plays. ¡°Following April 28, Restricted Area No. 005 has expanded by another 500 meters.¡± This is the third expansion this year. The Federation is taking effective measures to curb the expansion of this anomaly. ¡± Last nite, Restricted Area No. 099 expanded for the first time. This indicates that forbidden items have finally appeared in the area. ¡± ¡°In addition, the recent restricted area no. 105 near Yangtze also expanded for the first time last nite.¡± The restricted area was formed within 48 hours following the introduction of the forbidden items. These items have been ranked S in the Federation¡¯s banned list. ¡± ¡­ Wei Feng looked at the screen. The gray area that was photographed from a distance by the drone was foreign to him. He couldn¡¯t help but be a little lost. This is another strange phenomenon of this world. Restricted areas Since the Age of Beasts, although new life has been introduced, it has also been accompanied by greater disasters. After some powerful beastmasters died, their immense spiritual power and summoning power did not disappear with them, so a special space would appear based on the beastmaster¡¯s space. There are special rules in these restricted spaces; if any living being that enters does not obey these rules, they will be obliterated. As many people died because of these special rules, these spaces were designated as restricted areas with assigned serial numbers. As for the forbidden items, they are the key to the restricted area. It is said that these forbidden items can be used to strengthen your beast. At the same time, it is also the core of the restricted areas. If you can obtain this item, you can also control the restricted area at will. ¡­ Turning off the TV, Wei Feng massaged his head. This world is not as peaceful as he imagined it to be. The outside of the city is full of danger, and the inside of the city is not as peaceful as it seems. Although the world may be technologically advanced, it also has a unique set of laws. The weak will eat the strong! ¡­ Wei Feng stayed home all afternoon. He slowly processed all the past memories of this body¡¯s previous inhabitant, making it a part of himself. Wei Feng skipped dinner. The refrigerator was emptier than the pot, and the money given by his father was only 20 yuan left. He had to ration this money for this week¡¯s breakfast. ¡­ [The next morning] Wei Feng and Liu Shuan left home together. At the bakery, they each bought two buns. The two walked toward the Beastmaster Academy while nibbling on their buns. Liu Shuan complained to Wei Feng, ¡°My shadow leopard has too great of an appetite ¨C I fed it five portions of pork belly last nite, and another five this morning!¡± Wei Feng was a little dumbfounded. It was only then that he remembered that after he had summoned the Stone Man, he had neglected it. Fortunately, the Stone Man should not need sustenance, which solves a big problem. Otherwise, if he needed to eat large amounts of meat like Liu Shuan¡¯s royal beast, he couldn¡¯t afford it. Right now, it¡¯s difficult to support even himself. ¡°By the way, have you fed your Stone Man attribute stones yet?¡± Liu Shuan asked, shoving a bun into his mouth. ¡°¡­ attribute stone?¡± Wei Feng glanced at Liu Shuan. Liu Shuan nodded his head, ¡°Didn¡¯t you read the ¡°Beast Raising Handbook?¡± Your Stone Man also needs to eat, or it will become ordinary stone. ¡± ¡°What?!¡± CH 4 Chapter 4: Interactive Lessons ¡°What?!¡± Wei Feng was shocked. He put the last of the bun into his mouth and promptly took the handbook from his backpack and checked it. Wei Feng was speechless as he flipped through it. It turns out that the Stone Man, too, needs to eat! Iconic beasts, such as the Stone Man, are also referred to as pure-attribute beasts. They are all pure beasts, like tree spirits and water elves. To feed such a beast, you must feed them the correct element. For example, Wei Feng¡¯s Stone Man needs natural stones carrying the Earth element, whereas the tree spirits or Dryads require natural wood. This particular beast food is available at the academy¡¯s beast store, but it is pricey. They ran to the academy and because it was still early, they go to the Royal Beast Store together. ¡°Hey, can I get a bag of dried meat?¡± ¡°I need a bag of metal for my royal beast!¡± ¡°Boss, anything for water-type beasts?¡± ¡­ There were several students in the store, all of whom were freshmen from various classes. They came to purchase food for their beasts as well. Liu Shuan took money from his wallet to buy dried meat. Like the shadow leopard and ghost wolves, since they are carnivorous, they can eat ordinary meat. However, they require a huge quantity of it, and they can¡¯t attain enough nutrients from ordinary meat. Li Shuan soon appeared with two packs of beast food. One pack clearly contained a bag of stones. ¡°This bag is one hundred and fifty yuan,¡± Li Shuan said as he handed Wei Feng the bag of special feeding stones. ¡°Please pay me back later, okay?¡± Wei Feng remained silent but thankful. He thanked him and the two of them proceeded to their class. Because Liu Shuan was aware of Wei Feng¡¯s family situation, he helped him out numerous times. In total, Wei Feng probably owes him one or two thousand yuan. Entering the class, the class monitor, Wu Jiajia, was posting the class schedule. The two leaned over to see it, then exchanged glances. The schedule consists of four classes per day ¨C one interaction class and one meditation class in the morning, and the same in the afternoon. The interaction class is for interactions between the beastmaster and the beast. Summoning beasts requires consuming mental strength. Wei Feng¡¯s mental strength is five, so the summoning can last for about fifteen minutes. Meditation is the process of exploring your brain. Hence, this is the most direct way to increase mental strength. At 8 o¡¯clock, the teacher directed the students to the interaction class. Today, there are only twenty students, The students who did not get good first summons were unable to return to class. This includes Wang Liangliang, Wei Feng¡¯s tablemate. On the vast playground of the academy, the activity area of each class has been divided. The teacher took the class to Class 7¡¯s designated area, and left after a brief explanation. The entire class lasted for two hours, and it was impossible for the teacher to just monitor them for the duration. So, the students get to interact with their beasts. Moon-white pentagrams started to appear, and everyone started to summon their beasts. Wei Feng and Liu Shuan sat together at the edge of the playfield, and summoned their royal beasts. Wei Feng quickly fed his Stone Man. A smooth stone, big as a palm, was eaten by the Stone Man in just a few bites. After feeding two pure attribute stones, Wei Feng stored the rest away. Typically, just one stone per day is enough to satisfy a Stone Man for the entire day, and the bag of stones that Liu Shuan bought for him had only ten in total. ¡°Hey! What crooked beasts and cracked creatures are all of you summoning from the 7th Class?!¡± A playful voice sounded from the next area. Wei Feng and Liu Shuan turned their heads to the source of the sound. LIt was Class 6¡¯s area. A boy walked towards the area of Class 7. Behind him, a lion with a majestic red mane closely followed; it was very handsome. ¡°This is Lu Xiaojiu, one of the three guys who summoned second-order royal beasts from Class 6!¡± Liu Shuan whispered in shock. The class monitor, Wu Jiajia, quickly stepped forward to deal with Lu Xiaojiu¡¯s passive-aggressive behavior, and directed, ¡°During the class, students are not allowed to leave their respective class area. You better return or I¡¯ll report to the teacher and your credits will be deducted!¡± ¡°You-¡± Lu Xiaojiu stopped and glared at Wu Jiajia, ¡°How dare you! I didn¡¯t even step into your class area ¨C I just walked around an isolated area of my area! Control your attitude.¡± Lu Xiaojiu¡¯s eyes swept to the Class 7¡¯s area, and smirked sarcastically, ¡°What a capable class ¨C they aren¡¯t ashamed to let a girl come forward to deal with me.¡± Zhao Ming got up, but before he could intervene, the loudspeaker in the playfield warned, ¡°The student from Class 6, please return to your designated area. Otherwise, your credits will be deducted and you will be punished.¡± Liu Xiaojiu immediately went back without a word. Although the attempt at making a threat was unsuccessful, it was clear there was hostility. In fact, each class was very competitive. It is said if your class is the most excellent, you get more rewards and resources provided by the academy. ¡­ ¡°Ow-¡± ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± Various beasts roared on the playfield ¨C every student was actively interacting with their beasts. ¡°Yin, jump!¡± Liu Shuan, who named his leopard Yin, raised his right arm to let his leopard jump. Then, he fed it a piece of dried meat. This training process strengthens the bond between the beasts and the beastmasters and promotes growth. On the side, Wei Feng and his Stone Man watched Liu Shuan train his Shadow Leopard ¨C he had no intention of training his Stone Man. He kept eyeing the dried meat that Liu Shuan is feeding his leopard ¨C he can¡¯t afford to train his Stone Man. If the beast is idle, then one pure-attribute stone is enough to sate them. However, if the beast is active, then one stone is surely not enough. The stones he possessed were purchased by Liu Shuan. He has to ration it for feeding. Wei Feng unsummoned his Stone Man after fifteen minutes. The recovery of mental strength is fast ¨C after five minutes, he can resummon the Stone Man again. Wei Feng glanced at Zhao Ming. Several classmates surrounded him like his followers. Zhao Ming was rich, so he paid for all the food rations for the students following him. This moved Wei Feng¡¯s heart a bit. ¡­ After two hours, everyone returned to class. After a ten-minute break, the meditation class began. The teacher turned on the meditation guide, and the entire class was suddenly enveloped in blue light. Everyone closed their eyes and followed the auditory directions on the meditation guide and explored their brain. Wei Feng¡¯s brain was hazy. Although it is as vast as the human world, most of it is shrouded in a hazy fog. You need spiritual power and summoning power to break through these fog barriers. Every time a layer of haze is broken, your mental strength doubles. It¡¯s very difficult, however. Without guidance, a junior beastmaster¡¯s weak mental strength makes it impossible for them to break through this barrier. Since the students have a guide, it¡¯s like an unarmed man being given iron tools. The effect is obvious. CH 5 Chapter 5: Class-C Forbbiden Item [Ruined Symbols] The class was very quiet, and the blue light that is showering them is as smooth as water. If one looks closely, one can see that the blue light is made up of a series of numbers. Wei Feng noticed something strange when he entered his hazy mind. In addition to this blue light, there are wisps of gray fog in the area of his spiritual power. This fog had a foul odor. As more blue light accumulates in Wei Feng¡¯s brain, special numbers-based symbols form. Wei Feng was taken aback as he watched the gray wisps of fog become restless. They twisted and stretched until the string of blue symbols was identical. ¡°Ding!¡± [You have generated a Class-C Forbidden Item ¨C Ruined Symbols!] ¡­ When the prompt sounded, the blue symbols gathered Wei Feng¡¯s mental strength and created a blast that slammed into the first fog barrier in the brain. The blue symbol shattered, and the fog layer shook violently for about five seconds before returning to normal. Wei Feng was also stunned and needed five seconds to recover. It is not easy to open up the brain area; it is also painful. The blue light and symbols only serve to concentrate mental power in order to breakthrough the fog barrier. Your mental power will be unaffected. There is a proverb that goes: ¡°You can achieve anything if you put in enough effort!¡± ¡­ ¡°Bzzz.¡± It¡¯s as if a swarm of flies was buzzing around in his head. Wei Feng shook his head vigorously. He blinked open his eyes. Liu Shuan and LiuWeiwei were also shaking their heads. ¡°Pfft!¡± A student in the third row fell backwards onto the ground. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid ¨C this is the first time you¡¯ve explored your brain. Once you get used to it, you¡¯ll be fine. ¡± The teacher explained as he helped the student who had fallen. Wei Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. I have to get used to it, alright. You¡¯ll be labelled as a fool if you can¡¯t get used to it. ¡°Eugh!¡± In his mind, a sound erupted. Wei Feng quickly shut his eyes. The fog barrier in his mind is being corroded by a string of gray ¡°ruined¡± symbols. The first layer of the barrier corroded in less than ten seconds, forming a large hole. It¡¯s broken! Wei Feng was astounded by both the breach of the barrier and the Class-C Forbidden Item. The symbol then faded away, settling into the brain. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t care less because the fog barrier had been slightly breached, revealing a whole new world beyond! Despite its small size, it is vibrantly colored! Most importantly, Wei Feng¡¯s mental strength effectively quadrupled, reaching 23. ¡­ 12:00 p.m. Wei Feng and Liu Shuan ate their free lunch at the academy cafeteria after their morning classes. When Liu Shuan announced that he was going to train his royal beast, they parted ways, and Wei Feng went to the library. He needs his questions answered. He can¡¯t ask anyone; he has to answer his own questions by reading books. Afternoon classes begin at 2 p.m. There is plenty of time. Wei Feng spent ten minutes looking for a book about forbidden items. He sat on the ground in a quiet corner to read it. Forbidden items are graded. SS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, from highest to lowest. The Federation only has three Class-SS Forbidden Items in its possession. These are truly Forbidden Items. The birth of any single item has the potential to destroy humanity. This is not to say that you should disregard other Forbidden Items. Even Class-E Forbidden Items have the potential to obliterate experienced beast masters. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t stop thinking about the [Ruined Symbol]. Class-C Forbidden Items like that [Ruined Symbol] will undoubtedly destroy him. It¡¯s like you¡¯ve got a ticking time bomb in your head! ¡­ Wei Feng resumed his reading after calming down. The primary purpose of Forbidden Items is to fortify your beast. If you want to use this item, you must first meet the usage requirements. There are no fixed conditions¡ªit¡¯s all trial and error. It is not an easy process to learn by trial and error. ¡­ Finally, the appearance of Forbidden Items! At the moment, there is only one known method of birthing Forbidden Items, and that is in Restricted areas. Forbidden Items can only be found in Restricted Areas! ¡­ Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but ponder as he closed the book. Wei Feng attempted to conjure the [Ruined Symbol] in his mind, but received no response. Wei Feng could only sense the presence of this symbol and not manipulate it. Wei Feng stood up after another ten minutes on the ground and placed the book back in its original location. He chose another book about the human brain. Wei Feng read that even with a guide, breaking the first layer of the fog barrier takes four hours per day, and it would take ten days in total to break! That is the fastest time in Federation Records. ¡­ Wei Feng returned to class at 2:00 p.m. The teacher summoned everyone to the playground to interact with their beasts once more. Wei Feng summoned the Stone Man, and because he felt bad about doing nothing, he made the Stone Man move as well. He fed the Stone Man two stones in less than an hour. In exchange, the Stone Man¡¯s power increased slightly. ¡­ Wei Feng only slept for two hours during the afternoon meditation class. The first layer of fog in his brain had been broken, rendering the blue light emitted by the guide ineffective. [Broken Symbols] sank into his brain, and he was now dormant. ¡­ Wei Feng arrived home at 6:31 p.m. Wei Feng tried turning on a light switch, but there was still no light. When he went to the main circuit to check, he discovered that the power had been turned off because his father had not paid the electricity bill. Wei Feng lay on his bed, hungry and motionless. By not moving, he attempted to reduce his body¡¯s energy consumption. Wei Feng abruptly stood up after another half-hour of sleep. ¡°I can¡¯t do this!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to eat!¡± CH 6 Chapter 6: The Colosseum At the southern end of Yantze¡¯s North Road, on Zifu Street, which runs east to west, The shops on both sides of the street emit a soft and warm light, as well as the intoxicating aroma of barbecue. Wei Feng discovered a ramen shop and entered, shouting, ¡°Boss, get me a bowl of ramen ¨C no beef, more noodles!¡± This restaurant¡¯s business is thriving. There are approximately ten people dining, with only two empty tables and chairs remaining. Wei Feng sat in the second row, near the door, at the second dining table. Three young people, one or two years his junior, are talking about beast fighting behind him. ¡°It irritates me so much! That ghostly wolf beast was almost victorious. Now I have to pay for my living expenses this month out of my own pocket.¡± The young man, with his back to Wei Feng, sat down at the table. The young man opposite him, who was looking down at his phone, abruptly put down his chopsticks and exclaimed, ¡°Look, the Blue Lion King has won! I doubled my profit!¡± ¡°Are you trying to pull my leg?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the Black Scale King the Blue Lion King¡¯s adversary? He was defeated!¡± The two friends also took out their cellphones and examined them. At the same time, the news was broadcast on the restaurant¡¯s LCD TV, which was mounted on the wall. ¡°In an underground colosseum near the Yangtze¡¯s Cross Street and South Road, an eighth-order blue lion triumphed.¡± This blue lion is thought to be the boss of the underground colosseum¡¯s beast, as well as Yangtze¡¯s first recorded eighth-order beast.¡± ¡­ ¡°Wow! Of course, the Black Scale Kings was defeated. It turns out that the Blue Lion King had broken through to the eighth order.¡± ¡°This is fantastic!¡± ¡°Even if I only get to touch this eighth-order beast, I¡¯d be content for the rest of my life.¡± The three young people yelled excitedly. ¡°In your dreams!¡± A middle-aged aunt kindly placed a bowl of beef noodles in front of Wei Feng and said, ¡°You must be starving! Just eat it slowly; you can add more noodles if there aren¡¯t enough.¡± Wei Feng examined the large bowl of noodles in front of him. It was topped with beef and chopped green onion, and it had a lot of noodles on the bottom. Despite Wei Feng¡¯s request not to include beef, the boss didn¡¯t seem to mind, and he still provided extra noodles. There is also an option to add more noodles if he didn¡¯t have enough. Wei Feng began to eat it, picking up the chopsticks on the side. He grabbed the bowl and drank all of the soup and noodles in less than three minutes. It¡¯s as if he¡¯s never had a proper meal before. Furthermore, Wei Feng did not eat well these last two days. ¡°Bill, could you please?¡± He only had eight yuan left after paying for the noodles. Wei Feng sat on the side of the road for a while after leaving the noodle restaurant, then got up and walked towards the Yangtze South Road. He is now looking for a way to make money. And just now, he learned from the three young people that the underground Colosseum of Cross Street can be used not only to make bets, but also to participate in beast fighting. Wei Feng arrived at Cross Street half an hour later. He discovered the location of the Colosseum after conducting some research. There is now an eighth-order blue lion king in this Colosseum, which has piqued the interest of all Yangtze parties. Many people flocked to witness the fighting style of the eighth-order royal beast. He followed a group of people down the entrance to an abandoned underground parking lot, turned a corner, and arrived at the Colosseum¡¯s entrance. The entrance is separated from the center and divided into two passages, one on the left and one on the right. At the door, a layer of black cloth obscured the view. A middle-aged man stands in front of the passages on the left and right sides. There was a long line in front of the middle-aged man on the right, and no one could enter the field until they had paid. Only two people stood in front of the middle-aged man on the left. Wei Feng recognized that they needed to display their royal beast mark and summon the royal beast in order to gain entry. The channel on the right is obviously the viewing channel, and you must pay to enter. The passage for participating in the beast fight is on the left, and you must verify the beast¡¯s mark. ¡°Hey, boy, do you want to join the beast fight?¡± When Wei Feng hesitated, the man on the left shouted out. When Wei Feng heard this, he took a step forward and asked, ¡°Can a first-order royal beast even participate?¡± ¡°Yes! First, summon your royal beast and show it to me.¡± The middle-aged man stated unequivocally. Wei Feng paused for a moment before drawing the summoning symbols, arranging them in a pattern, and summoned the Stone Man. ¡°You have a good beast!¡± the middle-aged man exclaimed when the Stone Man was summoned. ¡°Although it is a first-order beast, it is still naturally powerful ¨C you are welcome to participate.¡± Having said that, the middle-aged man moved aside to allow Wei Feng to enter. Wei Feng entered the Colosseum through the black cloth. On the right, there is a partition with a step down in front of it. After going down, turn right, and the dazzling light appears out of nowhere. He saw a massive Colosseum through the metal fence and clear glass. On the right is a row of ten ATM-like terminal machines. He was standing in the highest position on the left, and the metal fence was a step-by-step descending staircase that was packed with people. A tall blue lion stood on the field at the bottom, in the Colosseum. From afar, people felt a strong sense of respect for that tall body and the aura of being the king of animals. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but squint. ¡°That must be the blue lion king, who has just risen to the eighth order. I was surprised to see it here.¡± The Colosseum had a very lively atmosphere. Wei Feng noticed many spectators waving their ribbons in the air, but he couldn¡¯t hear anything. Despite the fact that there was only one layer of transparent glass, the sound-muffling effect was excellent. Wei Feng appeared dazed until he was patted twice on the right shoulder, at which point he regained consciousness. A man in a white beret patted Wei Feng on the shoulder, and when the other party turned his head, he motioned for Wei Feng to follow. As I entered a room after passing through a passage and closing the door, the clear music that was playing in the room abruptly came to a halt. The man in the beret approached the only desk in the room, removed his hat, motioned Wei Feng to sit, and then said, ¡°This is your first time at our Colosseum! Please, if you don¡¯t mind, summon your royal beast and allow me to inspect it.¡± Wei Feng rose to his feet, drew the summoning symbols, arranged them, and summoned the Stone Man once more. Despite being a first-order summon, the two-meter-tall stone man stood tall. The man sat up straight, his gaze shifting from the Stone Man to Wei Feng: ¡°If I guessed correctly, you must be a freshman of the junior beastmaster academy!¡± ¡°Yup.¡± Wei Feng nodded but didn¡¯t say anything. The man¡¯s eyes widened with surprise, and he leaned back in his chair, saying, ¡°Do you know that a fight will last at least 30 minutes?¡± ¡°Are you certain you can keep up with the summon?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not sure.¡± ¡°But I can continue to summon for more than half an hour,¡± Wei Feng said, frowning. ¡°Oh?¡± The man sat up straight again, and a light flashed in his eyes as he tried to decipher Wei Feng¡¯s intentions. ¡°All right, let¡¯s see how you do later in the field.¡± The man spoke abruptly, but in a gentle tone. ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng nodded and looked at the man, only to notice that the other party was smiling at him. ¡°The rules of the first-order Colosseum are straightforward. It¡¯s not over until one of the beasts is too exhausted to fight again. ¡± The man stood up, took a business card from the table, and placed it in Wei Feng¡¯s hand. ¡°The first-order Colosseum¡¯s income is relatively low. After a fight, the winning beastmaster receives three hundred yuan, while the loser receives only one hundred. ¡± The man opened the door and added to Wei Feng¡¯s situation. A young man in a tuxedo stood outside the door. ¡°Take him to the Beast Cage No. 9 for a fight,¡± the man said directly to the young man. ¡°All right, Director!¡± CH 7 Chapter 7: Beast Cage No. 9 ¨C My First Battle Against A Ghost Wolf! Following behind the young man in the tuxedo, they arrived at an elevator door marked with the number nine. The two rode the elevator all the way down. There are no other buttons inside the elevator, only a down arrow-labeled button. That means it¡¯s a one-way journey all the way to the bottom. When the elevator door opened, he found himself in a long, narrow, dark passage. ¡°Would you please follow me?¡± The young man in the tuxedo walked straight to the end of the passage. Wei Feng followed, flipping the business card at his fingertips in his right hand ¨C he glanced at it. Gao Jian, Director of the Sixth Division, Xingwu Colosseum. Wei Feng remained silent as he slipped the business card into his pocket and trailed the young man in the tuxedo. Three minutes later, the two arrived at the end of the passage. It is extremely bright outside; the walls of the Colosseum can be seen, as can beasts imprisoned in cages. Instead of throwing Wei Feng into the battle, the young man in the tuxedo reached over and took two items from the cupboard beside him. It consists of a black cap and a mask. ¡°Do you require these?¡± The young man in the tuxedo handed the items to Wei Feng and inquired. ¡°Sure.¡± Wei Feng accepted it without hesitation, putting on the cap and mask to conceal his identity. The young man in the tuxedo smiled and turned to walk into the Colosseum. Wei Feng was quick to follow. Except for the high platform in the center ¨C a fighting ring ¨C the entire Colosseum was bright and vast. It was encased in icy-cold steel bars. These steel cages are relatively small, measuring only twenty cubic meters in volume. At the same time, these cages are labeled with numbers ranging from one to ten, making a total of ten cages. And Wei Feng will enter Beast Cage No. 9. The young man in the tuxedo escorted Wei Feng to Beast Cage No. 9 and requested that he remain in the player lobby. He then walked away. This so-called lobby area is surrounded on two sides by metal fences that separate the beast cages. This area and the beast cage are separated by a two-meter gap. The beastmaster is not allowed to leave this area during the entire beast fight. ¡­ Five minutes later, another beast master appeared, this time wearing a black cap and a mask. He greeted Wei Feng across the beast cage as he entered the preparation area, saying, ¡°Brother, this is my first time participating in a beast fight, and I promise to be merciful!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng was taken aback; he hadn¡¯t expected the guy on the other side to be so genuine and outgoing. ¡°This is also my first time participating in a beast fight; let¡¯s keep an eye out for each other!¡± Wei Feng responded bluntly. ¡°Ah, so this is also your first time, brother? Then I won¡¯t be concerned ¨C don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll let my beast fight lightly for a while. You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± That¡¯s very thoughtful. ¡°Thank you.¡± Wei Feng said with a chuckle. ¡°Are you still a student, by the way? Which college are you attending? To be honest, I¡¯m also a Junior Beasmaster Academy Student, from Class 3.¡± he explained. Wei Feng was taken aback once more; he had not expected to run into a fellow classmate here. This guy, on the other hand, is completely carefree. He doesn¡¯t appear to be here to participate in the beast fight, but rather to learn about beast fighting. In reality, he¡¯s only here to train his beast and make some extra money. ¡°Zhang You is my name. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡­ Wei Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Wei Feng did not respond. His anonymity would be jeopardized if he revealed his name. ¡°Bang!¡± A gunshot rang out. The beast fight has begun! All of the beast cages started fighting. The moon-white pentagram glowed, and the beastmasters summoned their own beasts. A wave of applause erupted from the audience stand all the way around the Colosseum. ¡°Yeah! It¡¯s finally begun!¡± Zhang You were taken aback, took a step back, and began summoning his royal beast. Wei Feng has already begun to draw the summoning symbol. Arrange them so that the beast is directly summoned to the beast cage in front of you. A dark wolf with shiny black hair appeared inside the cage at the same time as the Stone Man. Zhang You¡¯s royal beast is a ghost wolf of the first rank! ¡°Wow! Is it true that your royal beast is a Stone Man?¡± Zhang You made a surprised sound. Wei Feng did not respond. This guy is way too loud. ¡°Woo~¡± Zhang You¡¯s ghost wolf howled inside the cage and immediately stalked around the cage¡¯s edge. The Stone Man, on the other hand, kept turning his body, following the ghost wolf¡¯s stalking and keeping his front facing the ghost wolf. The Stone Man, on the other hand, is not as agile as the wolf; when the ghost wolf beast began to run, he couldn¡¯t keep up. ¡°Attack its neck, Gray!¡± Zhang You shouted. Wei Feng: ¡°!?¡± This guy is not kind at all! ¡°Crouch and defend!¡± Wei Feng issued a quick command. The Stone Man immediately squatted, and the wolf flew over his head, missing the attack. ¡°Attack it once more!¡± Zhang You¡¯s voice could be heard once more. ¡°Attack it again!¡± Zhang You¡¯s voice sounded again. The ghost wolf landed and turned around to attack once more. Wei Feng remained silent. He used his mental strength to recognize the opponent¡¯s beast. Detecting other people¡¯s beasts with mental strength allows you to detect both the beastmaster and the beast¡¯s stats. Other beastmasters can see this information. You cannot conceal this information as long as the other party¡¯s mental strength exceeds yours. [Royal Beast] Royal Beast: Ghost Wolf Level: Level 1 (Intermediate) Attribute: None Strength: 30 Agility: 51 Spirit Power: 45 Core Ability: [Quick Hunt] ¨C Increase your agility by 10% for a short period of time. Type: Evolvable. ¡­ ¡°Crash!¡± The ghost wolf slammed into the Stone Man with a muffled sound, but then rolled away. The Stone Man¡¯s strength is far greater than the ghost wolf¡¯s, and the ghost wolf cannot harm him. However, the Stone Man has its own flaws: it is not as agile as the wolf. If Zhang You is stupid enough to keep ordering his wolf to attack the Stone Man, he shouldn¡¯t be scared. He is just worried. ¡°Keep your distance, Gray! Look for opportunities to attack from its side, but don¡¯t be too hard on it!¡± Wei Feng frowned as he heard Zhang You¡¯s voice. It¡¯s only a matter of time before he realizes what¡¯s going on. Because Wei Feng can see Zhang You¡¯s beast information, it means his mental strength isn¡¯t as strong as Wei Feng¡¯s ¨C which also means he won¡¯t be able to keep the summon for long. The rules in this beast-fighting cage are straightforward. The last beast standing is victorious. ¡­ ¡°Slash!¡± The ghost wolf swiped its claws against the stone man¡¯s side, leaving three deep claw marks on his forearm. After striking the Stone Man, the ghost wolf immediately retreated; the Stone Man attempted to retaliate but failed. ¡°Slash!¡± The ghost wolf was extremely fast, and it slashed another claw slash to his right side, leaving a few deep claw marks on the stone man. Following a blow, the ghost wolf retreated and then attacked again. The Stone Man¡¯s retaliation continues to miss the target. More than a dozen scratches appeared on the Stone Man¡¯s body in about 20 minutes. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but frown. I have to put an end to this. Wei Feng noticed energy flowing out of the Stone Man¡¯s body through the claw marks as well. ¡­ ¡°Dodge to the left!¡± Wei Feng abruptly yelled. The Stone Man rolled to the left right away. Its massive body hugged into a ball, resembling a massive rolling stone, and began to roll. The move was too abrupt, and the ghost wolf was unable to react. ¡°Crash!¡± The wolf almost pounced on the Stone Man, but was run over twice by the Stone Man ¨C then the Stone Man uncurled and sat on the wolf. ¡°Awooo¡­!¡± The ghost wolf roared, clawing at the Stone Man, and opened its mouth wide to bite the Stone Man¡¯s calf. The Stone Man raised his hand and began punching the wolf¡¯s head repeatedly. ¡°Bang!¡± The wolf collapsed. Zhang You¡¯s eyes widened, and he frantically jumped up and down. ¡°Stop! Stop! I accept defeat! I accept defeat!¡± Zhang You yelled and dashed to the fence, clutching the metal bars and pleading. CH 8 Chapter 8: An Accident! It turns out that you can¡¯t unsummon the beasts when they¡¯re fighting. The Stone Man was pounding on the wolf, and Zhang You could only beg Wei Feng to stop. Wei Feng saw two men in black suits walking behind Zhang You.They made a quick exit and went straight to Zhang You. Wei Feng realized Zhang You was in big trouble now. The young man in the tuxedo had informed him that the beastmaster is not permitted to leave their designated area, or they will be punished. Wei Feng quickly unsummoned the Stone Man after noticing this. He¡¯d already won this fight. Wei Feng summoned the Stone Man once more, this time taking an earth attribute stone from his jacket pocket and feeding it to the Stone Man. ¡°You did great!¡± The Stone Man chewed and swallowed the hard earth-type stone, which was like crisp candy to him. Wei Feng could see that the scratches on the Stone Man¡¯s forearm were gradually healing. ¡­ ¡°Ah! Please let me go!¡± ¡°What are you doing? Where are you taking me?!¡± On the other side, Zhang You was dragged into the dark passage by two men in suits. Wei Feng frowned. This Colosseum has a dark side to it. If you follow the rules here correctly, nothing bad will happen to you; otherwise, things will not go well for you. ¡°Congratulations! You won a game.¡± A young man in a tuxedo approached, opened the fence, and said, ¡°Come with me!¡± to Wei Feng. After unsummoning the Stone Man, Wei Feng followed the young man in the tuxedo back to the passage he came from. As he approached the passage, the cheers from the viewing platform became softer. Wei Feng removed his peaked cap and placed it next to him in the cupboard, while the mask was rolled into a ball and stuffed into his pocket. ¡°Congratulations!¡± said the young man in the tuxedo to Wei Feng. ¡°My name is Wang Xin, and you have passed the test and are now eligible to join the Xingwu Colosseum. Shall we get you a membership card?¡± ¡°Oh, thank you.¡± Wei Feng thanked him and asked no further questions. As Wei Feng followed Wang Xin on the elevator, he couldn¡¯t help but ask Wang Xin, ¡°What will happen to the guy who played against me?¡± Wei Feng received a stern look from Wang Xin. ¡°Because he¡¯s just a student, he¡¯ll be beaten up and let off as a reminder.¡± Wei Feng frowned. Just getting thrashed? He expected far more serious consequences. ¡­ After exiting the elevator, he followed Wang Xin through a long corridor. Wei Feng applied for a membership card under his real name in a room on the right at the end. Xingwu Colosseum membership card, cardholder: Wei Feng. Wang Xin then led Wei Feng back to the exit, where he taught Wei Feng how to operate a row of terminal machines similar to ATMs. There are several advantages to becoming a full member of Xingwu Colosseum. Wei Feng only needs to insert the membership card into the terminal the next time he comes for beast fighting, and an opponent will be automatically matched. Wei Feng only needs to arrive on time at the Arena. The rewards earned from each fight are also directly transferred to the membership card, which can be withdrawn from the terminal. Wei Feng inserted his membership card and extracted the 300 yuan he had just won. Wei Feng glanced at Wang Xin while holding the three hundred yuan, but he couldn¡¯t bring himself to thank Wang Xin. Wang Xin, on the other hand, was unconcerned. Even if he gave the 300 yuan to other players, they might not like him. ¡­ Wei Feng was still in a trance as he exited the Xingwu Colosseum. He didn¡¯t expect to make any money. He doesn¡¯t have to be concerned about his short-term expenses because he has this money. However, he got lucky. After all, his opponent was a complete moron. I might not be so lucky the next time. If you want to continue earning money from beast fighting, you must train your beasts more! ¡­ Wei Feng walked down the dimly lit street, pondering how to quickly train his Stone Man while chomping on the meat skewers he bought from the stalls near the Colosseum. It was 11:20 p.m., and the road was deserted. A figure rushed out at high speed as Wei Feng passed through an intersection. The figure appeared to be being pursued and kept looking behind him, completely unaware of Wei Feng. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t avoid him because he was too fast. Line 55: ¡°Crash!¡± Wei Feng flew backwards as a result of the collision. It¡¯s like being hit by a high-speed truck. It was excruciatingly painful; he may have broken a few bones. And the pain was seeping into his bone marrow, as if his left chest was being stabbed. The person who struck Wei Feng also collapsed. He stood up and looked over at Wei Feng, who had already rolled onto the floor. The individual quickly stood up and ran away. It was about 25 meters from the intersection to where Wei Feng fell. How could he have been hit so hard?! It¡¯s difficult to believe that two people collided and one was knocked out more than 20 meters away. What exactly is going on? Wei Feng was as pale as a piece of white paper as he lay on his side. The pain in his left chest was far worse than the pain in the rest of his body. His consciousness, on the other hand, is as clear as day, and he felt every stinging pain on his left chest. ¡­ ¡°You two go look over there, the others, follow me!¡± A low voice was heard at the intersection, followed by a flurry of footsteps. As those footsteps faded away, the surroundings fell silent. Wei Feng felt that his right hand had finally regained some sense after an unknown amount of time. He slowly stretched out his palm and gently touched his left chest. The results were a little unexpected. No blood? However, the severe pain in his left chest indicates otherwise. What is going on? Wei Feng was full of doubts. But he knew he couldn¡¯t stay and lie on the road. The right hand trembled as it drew the summoning symbols and then arranged them, and the moon-white pentagram array lit up, summoning the Stone Man. ¡°Please take me home!¡± When Wei Feng spoke, his voice was heavy, as if bellows were being torn apart. The Stone Man also noticed that Wei Feng was in excruciating pain, so he quickly lowered himself, picked Wei Feng up, and began to run. ¡°Dong dong!¡± ¡°Dong Dong Dong!¡± ¡­ When the Stone Man ran, the soles of his feet made a loud but dull sound, similar to a heartbeat. Wei Feng tried to stay awake by showing the Stone Man the way home. The pain began to consume Wei Feng, and he began to lose consciousness. Time feels like it¡¯s stopping. As the Stone Man carried him home, the world came to a halt and faded to black. ¡°Ding!¡± [NOTICE: The fusion has been successful! is successful! The Class-S Forbidden Item [Absolute Zero] has been obtained.] [NOTICE: [Power of Control] has been upgraded to intermediate level. ] [NOTICE: After acquiring the enhancement condition, [Absolute Zero] will activate and upgrade [Stone Man].] CH 9 Chapter 9: Ice Giant Wei Feng was trapped in a cold, dark, and never-ending abyss. And Wei Feng stood in the midst of this abyss. ¡­ Wei Feng felt his hands and feet were a little cold when he awoke from his sleep. It was as if he had never awoken from his sleep. Furthermore, Wei Feng remembered standing in the center of the abyss and seeing a pair of dark blue eyes staring back at him. ¡°Argh¡­¡± Wei Feng sat up from the bed with a sigh. His body began to warm up after fifty push-ups and a hundred sit-ups. This is strange, he thought. My hands and feet were cold, but it was midsummer. They should be scorching! Wei Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he reached inside his pocket and found the 300 yuan was still there. He began to recall what happened the night before after drinking a glass of water. This all happened because I was hit by that mysterious guy¡­ he reasoned. Wei Feng inadvertently touched his left chest, which was ice-cold. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but move his collar and look at his chest, stunned! A blue snowflake pattern is imprinted on his left chest. It can¡¯t be a tattoo; he must have gotten it from the figure the night before! He felt a sharp object pierce his chest last night after the man bumped into him ¨C there was no blood coming out after inspection, which explains everything. The person who collided with him and left a snowflake imprint is not a normal person. ¡°It appears that it improved my physical ability as well¡­¡± he thought to himself. He¡¯s felt it since the start of his morning workout. It was as if he had been given a new body ¨C when the figure crashed into him last night, he appeared to have multiple fractures; now, his body is completely healed. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but think about the attribute panel. [Properties Panel] Host: Wei Feng [The Strongest Beast-Master System] Age: 16 Rank: Junior Beastmaster Strength: 11+ (11.5) Agility: 15+ (4.5) Spirit Power: 45+ (8) [Power of Control]: Intermediate Level ¨C [You gain 10% of your beast¡¯s attributes.] Forbidden Items: [Absolute Zero (Class-S)], [Ruined Symbols (Class-C)]. Core Abilities: [Hardened Skin] ¨C Derived from [Stone Man], you can withstand any blunt weapon attack with a strength of less than 115. Royal Beast: [Second-Order Ice Giant] ¡­ ¡°This¡­¡± Wei Feng was perplexed as he examined the newly added information on his attribute panel. This change is too drastic! What the hell is [Absolute Zero]?! Could it be that it was something that entered his body last night? Turns out, it¡¯s a Forbidden Item! Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but lift his collar to inspect the situation. His mind contains the [Ruined Symbols], which is a Class-C Forbidden Item, but this [Absolute Zero], which is Class-S, is imprinted on his left chest! Is it time to kill myself? He noticed that his Stone Man had also been upgraded. ¡°A second-order Ice Giant?¡± Wei Feng suddenly noticed his beast¡¯s information at the bottom of the attribute panel. The stone man has ascended to the second order! Wei Feng began drawing the summoning symbols right away, and the combinations were arranged all at once. The Stone Man¡¯s aura was cold, and his stone skin had crystallised completely. An ice giant! Wei Feng¡¯s eyes instantly widened. When he passed out last night, he must have missed a lot of things. The changes are too drastic! His ice giant¡¯s height hasn¡¯t changed; it¡¯s still around two meters tall. However, that body of rock has completely transformed into blue ice crystals, and his body is clearly smoother, more powerful, and more beautiful. Wei Feng investigated the ice giant¡¯s characteristics. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Ice Giant Level: 2 (Advanced) Attribute: Ice. Strength: 115 Agility: 45 Spirit Power: 80 Core Abilities: [Ice Body] ¨C Completely immune to any attack with a strength of less than 115. Type: Steady levelling. ¡­ ¡°I¡­¡± Wei Feng felt unable to process so much information. His Stone Man not only advanced to the second order, but also to the advanced level. To distinguish the strength of different royal beasts of the same order, the royal beasts are divided into three levels within each order ¨C Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. In other words, among second-order beasts, the ice giant is already a god. Wei Feng was overjoyed. This means his Ice Giant is extremely powerful. Wei Feng became aware of that core ability. It is completely immune to any attack with a strength of less than 115. This distinguishes the Ice Giant from the Stone Man, who had weak points on its body. The Ice Giant is completely unaffected. This is terrifying. 115 power¡­ Even among second-order beasts, it is uncommon. The ice giant is nearly invincible among second-order imperial beasts with this core ability! ¡­ ¡°Knock knock!¡± ¡°Wei Feng! Wei Feng!¡± exclaimed Liu Shuan outside his door. ¡°It¡¯s time to go to school!¡± Wei Feng looked at the moving clock on the wall, which read 7:10 a.m. He quickly unsummoned his Ice Giant, slung his backpack, opened the door, and walked out. Outside the door, Liu Shuan¡¯s eyes were half-open, as if he had just awoken. Wei Feng inquired casually, ¡°What¡¯s the problem? Were you up all night playing video games last night?¡± The two entered the elevator, and Liu Shuan leaned directly on the handrail and said, ¡°What exactly do you mean? I¡¯ve already stopped playing video games because I stayed up all night watching the news!¡± ¡°The news?¡± Wei Feng looked at Liu Shuan and said, ¡°They cut off the electricity at my house last night, what¡¯s the news?¡± ¡°My god, again?¡± Liu Shuan frowned, then replied, ¡°Last night, the newly formed Restricted Area closest to our apartment mysteriously vanished!¡± Wei Feng: ¡°!¡± The Restricted Area has vanished! ¡°It¡¯s really exciting! The Federation classified that same Restricted Area as Class-S, and it simply vanished after its first expansion!¡± Liu Shuan exclaimed. Wei Feng pondered quietly. There is only one way to make Restricted Areas disappear. That is, the Forbidden Items in these Restricted Areas must be removed. And then, last night, this new Class-S Restricted Area vanished, and a Class-S Forbidden Item became embedded in his body. This is not a coincidence; it can be inferred directly. In my opinion, the [Absolute Zero], Class-S Forbidden Item is the Forbidden Item found in the now-disappeared Restricted Area! ¡°I really want to know who managed to obtain that Forbidden Item¡­ it must be so cool!¡± The item he is currently describing is now stuck in Wei Feng¡¯s left chest, unbeknownst to Liu Shuan. ¡­ They returned to the bakery and bought two buns, nibbling on them as they walked towards the academy. ¡°My god, look!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that Zhang You from Class 3?¡± exclaimed Liu Shuan, pointing to a student in a wheelchair. ¡°What happened of him?¡± Wei Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Wang Xin said that Zhang You would not be severely punished, but would only be beaten to make him remember the consequences. He hadn¡¯t expected Zhang You to be beaten up so badly. He¡¯s clearly paralyzed now! CH 10 Chapter 10: New Classmates & The Dark Knight Wei Feng felt nothing for Zhang You. You chose to visit the Colosseum and to defy the rules. You get exactly what you deserve. Liu Shuan appeared to recognize Zhang You and ran over to check on him. The three of them enrolled in the academy together. Zhang You couldn¡¯t recognize Wei Feng because he didn¡¯t say anything. They were almost late for class because Liu Shuan went to buy food for his royal beast again. The entire class had already arrived ¨C the teacher stood on the podium, and a girl with a ponytail was standing beside him. She looks beautiful and sweet! ¡°Everyone, welcome our new student!¡± the teacher said as the two rushed to their seats. ¡°Please introduce yourself.¡± ¡°Hello, everyone,¡± the girl smiled and said clearly. ¡°My name is Zhang Xiyao, and I am sixteen years old. My royal beast is a First-order Dark Knight.¡± ¡°Please greet her with a round of applause!¡± exclaimed the teacher after she introduced herself. Everyone began clapping. They applauded and clapped to welcome her, particularly the male students. Among those male students was Liu Shuan, who whispered to Wei Feng, ¡°She is so lovely! I think I¡¯m in love with her.¡± Wei Feng was speechless as he looked into Liu Shuan¡¯s eyes. Love at first sight? Do people ever look in the mirror? Wei Feng shook his head. Every male classmate had already lost their minds because the new girl is a little more beautiful and has a slightly better figure. ¡°Xiyao, go find a place to sit.¡± The teacher gave the order, Everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to Zhang Xiyao. There are currently only five empty seats. There is an empty seat next to Zhao Ming, an empty seat in the second and third rows, and an empty seat to Wei Feng¡¯s right. Wei Feng noticed Lu Yu, who was sitting in the third row, wiping the table and chair next to him with a damp towel. Zhang Xiyao noticed but only smiled. She walked straight to the last row and sat next to Wei Feng. ¡°Please look out for me, deskmate!¡± she smiled politely at Wei Feng. Wei Feng was a little flustered. He was just making fun of his other classmates¡¯ shallowness, and now he¡¯s starting to feel charmed by the girl. I¡¯m speechless and shy. He thought to himself. When his left sleeve was tugged, Wei Feng was still thinking of a response. ¡°Wei Feng, can we switch seats?¡± Liu Shuan asked. ¡°If we do, you won¡¯t owe me nearly as much money!¡± Wei Feng immediately declined when he heard that. He¡¯s always been the type of person who repays debts in full for his own sake; he didn¡¯t want to owe anyone anything. Liu Shuan was taken aback and wanted to respond,but class was about to begin. ¡­ Students from each class lined up in an orderly fashion on their respective play fields. Wei Feng stood at the edge of the playing field, as he always did, but Zhang Xiyao had unexpectedly followed him and stood by him. She appears to believe that the layout of the play field is the same as their seating arrangement in class. This made Liu Shuan very happy, and his wide grin could be seen from both ears. To be honest, even though Zhang Xiyao is very attractive, it was her sweet and kind aura that drew the male classmates in. This type of behavior is unheard of in rural girls, such as the majority of the girls in the class. She¡¯s like a prince¡¯s or a general¡¯s daughter. She has her own ideas, but she is polite and never discriminates against others. Girls like her are irresistible to her male classmates. ¡­ Zhang Xiyao followed everyone else in summoning their royal beasts. Wei Feng faded into the background, attempting to blend in with Liu Shuan¡¯s active self. He only drew his summoning symbols without arranging them to summon his Ice Giant. He can¡¯t let anyone else see that his Stone Man had turned into an Ice Giant. Being too unique, in any case, may be your undoing. Unless you have someone to help back you up. He doesn¡¯t want to give up his personal freedom or, worse, be caught as an experimental white mouse. He¡¯s going to make the claim that he lacks mental strength. Wei Feng stopped pretending and sat, watching other students interact with their beast after the teacher left the students to their own devices. Liu Shuan had completely eclipsed Wei Feng and summoned his shadow leopard, allowing it to jump and perform tricks to impress Zhang Xiyao. Zhang Xiyao arranged her summoning symbols as well. A samurai in pure black armor with a long, metal katana slung around his waist emerged from her pentagram. ¡°Clack!¡± His metal boots landed with a thud. Liu Shuan was taken aback. Wei Feng, too, was taken aback. Dark Knights typically lack armor and weapons. They resemble demons, with human-like bodies but dark skin and dark green blood. This Dark Knight has great mental strength and can learn a variety of skills, but they will not have armor or weapons at first. In other words, Zhang Xiyao obtained all of the armor and weapons around his waist. There is no doubt that Zhao Ming¡¯s Second-Order Scorpion can be sliced in half. Of course, this means it¡¯s prohibitively expensive, especially for custom-made armor and weapons. ¡°Are you¡­¡± Liu Shuan was speechless as he pointed to the Dark Knight. When compared to the Dark Knight, his shadow leopard is a stray dog. ¡°It has to be from the Royal Beast Armory!¡± Zhao Ming approached and said confidently. ¡°You¡¯re right, it¡¯s from the armory for First-Order Royal Beasts like mine,¡± Zhang Xiyao said, nodding. ¡°Not bad,¡± Zhao Ming said softly, nodding. His cocky demeanor, on the other hand, made people want to punch him in the face. ¡°It must have cost more than 500,000 yuan; the second-order beast armory I had my father customize is worth 1.5 million yuan!¡± Liu Shuan: ¡°¡­¡± Despite the fact that Liu Shuan is somewhat well-off, where they don¡¯t have to worry about food and can raise royal beasts¡­ He really can¡¯t keep up with rich kids like Zhao Ming. There is an obvious barrier between rich kids like him and poorer kids ¨C they are invisible to rich kids like Zhao Ming. Zhang Xiyao only gave Zhao Ming a polite smile. Zhao Ming, on the other hand, did not take the hint ¨C he felt that there is finally someone who can relate to how rich he is, and he begins to show off how rich he is. ¡°Xiyao, you should inject ACE-09 into your Dark Knight on a daily basis. This will maximize your royal beasts¡¯ growth and potential!¡± ¡°Every day, my twin-tailed scorpion gets one injection!¡± ¡­ The ACE-09 medicine has a similar strengthening effect to Forbidden Items ¨C a dose is approximately 200ml, but it costs 15000 yuan! CH 11 Chapter 11: Patience Forbidden items are the most effective way to strengthen your royal beasts and increase their potential. However, even the lowest-level E-ranked forbidden items are difficult to obtain. As a result, the government conducted research on some of these taboo items and developed a medicine known as ¡°ACE.¡± These medications have ten different serial numbers ranging from 1 to 10. The effects of medicines labeled ¡°No. 1¡± are the most similar to the effects of forbidden items. Of course, its cost is simply out of reach for most people. Even the cheapest No.10 ACE Medicine costs 10,000 yuan. Only Zhao Ming in his class could afford the most expensive medicine, while the others could only use up to No.9 ACE Medicine. With a defeated expression on his face, Liu Shuan sat down next to Wei Feng and sighed quietly. To console Liu Shuan, Wei Feng shook his head and patted his shoulder. ¡°Wei Feng, why didn¡¯t you summon your Stone Man?¡± Liu Shuan noticed something was wrong and asked. Wei Feng had already considered this and responded directly, ¡°It can stay in my Beast Space, I¡¯m saving up food rations.¡± Liu Shuan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Well, I guess I¡¯m not so miserable after all, compared to you!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s ¡°misery¡± provided Liu Shuan with a sense of superiority. Wei Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Wei Feng held his mouth. He knew if he summoned his Second-Order Ice Giant, Liu Shuan would become depressed. Wei Feng noticed, as he looked up at Zhao Ming and Zhang Xiyao, that no matter how much Zhao Ming flaunted, Zhang Xiyao remained silent. It was obvious ¨C she was just putting up with him. She hadn¡¯t been paying attention. Zhao Ming felt embarrassed after five minutes of talking to himself, so he turned and left. Liu Shuan¡¯s eyes glowed with newfound hope. ¡°She doesn¡¯t care about Zhao Ming!¡± She is far too pure¡­¡± Liu Shuan stood there, as if he had discovered true love. Wei Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Wei Feng was rendered speechless. So, if Zhang Xiyao doesn¡¯t like Zhao Ming, will she even look at you? Liu Shuan appeared to be full of energy. He stood up and resumed training his Shadow Leopard. Zhang Xiyao is also odd. She spends the majority of her time in class with Wei Feng and Liu Shuan. ¡°Do you think Zhang Xiyao is interested in me, Feng?¡± Wei Feng was approached by Liu Shuan, who inquired. Wei Feng gave him a surprised look. Where did you even get this confidence from? Despite the fact that she interacted with her beast beside us during this interactive class, she didn¡¯t say a single word! Wei Feng shook his head, reminding Liu Shuan to be honest ¨C a girl like Zhang Xiyao was born to be different. However, it fell on deaf ears, and Liu Shuan confidently stated, ¡°Well, I think she is interested in me ¨C hey, did you know my Shadow Leopard gained five experience yesterday?¡± ¡­ The meditation class began after a brief break. The daily lessons are boring and monotonous for a junior beastmaster. However, this is the only way to become stronger. During meditation classes, everyone is very quiet. The guide¡¯s special blue light hung like a veil in every corner of the classroom. Wei Feng has already broken through the first layer of fog in his brain, so these blue light rays have no effect on him. But he wasn¡¯t relaxing either; he used his mental strength to break through the second layer of fog. It¡¯s like attempting to move a mountain with both hands. However, without the blue light¡¯s guidance, it would shock your brain. Wei Feng¡¯s head buzzed after only a few hits. After a brief pause, Wei Feng turned to face Zhang Xiyao to his right. To be honest, he thinks she is beautiful. However, he wished to conceal this thought. It would be the end of him if anyone discovered his beast and the forbidden items he possessed. As a result, he must exercise caution. The most important factor here is strength. ¡­ He turned around and went back to his brain. However, just as Wei Feng was about to close his eyes, Zhang Xiyao turned her head and gave Wei Feng an odd look. 12:00 p.m.; noon It was clear at the end of the class who took it seriously and who didn¡¯t. Those who took it seriously rubbed their temples and rested their heads on their table; those who didn¡¯t were laughing and joking around, planning where they would eat later. Wei Feng closed his eyes for a moment before getting up to go to the cafeteria to eat. Although the college cafeteria serves free lunch, it isn¡¯t particularly tasty. ¡°A rose?¡± Wei Feng looked around and noticed Liu Shuan was missing. As he turned to look, Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes. He noticed Liu Shuan, who was holding a paper rose in his hand, and walked solemnly towards Zhang Xiyao. ¡°Here you go. I-it¡¯s for you.¡± Liu Shuan averted his gaze and handed her the paper rose. Wei Feng had already covered his eyes with his hands. To be honest, he admired Liu Shuan¡¯s bravery. ¡°Thank you! This rose looks pretty¡­ but I can¡¯t take it.¡± No one was surprised when Zhang Xiyao politely declined. Line 65: Liu Shuan¡¯s face turned red immediately and he hid his face behind the desk. It wasn¡¯t until Zhang Xiyao left that Liu Shuan raised his head and scratched his own head incessantly. I can¡¯t believe it! Wei Feng thought. Did he really try to fix his own hair with glue? Wei Feng patted Liu Shuan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go eat!¡± ¡­ At the canteen. Wei Feng and Liu Shuan were waiting in the long line for the meal. Wei Feng, on the other hand, noticed that many people were pointing at him and Liu Shuan. It wasn¡¯t until Wei Feng and Liu Shuan finished their meals, found a seat, and heard the commotion beside them that they realized what was going on. It turns out that Liu Shuan¡¯s proposal to Zhang Xiyao was videotaped and posted on the college bulletin board. ¡°Hey! You¡¯re barking up the wrong tree. Hahaha!¡± A classmate passed by and laughed sadistically. ¡°Haha! You¡¯re too thick skinned!¡± His companion laughed as well. Liu Shuan¡¯s face flushed; he stood up and walked out of the cafeteria without saying anything. Wei Feng ate his and Liu Shuan¡¯s portions quietly while silently watching the scene unfold. Wei Feng did not go to find Liu Shuan after the meal, but instead went straight to the library. It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to console Liu Shuan; he just doesn¡¯t know how. To survive in this world, you must be strong. Sarcasm might not be such a bad thing after all. Sometimes harsh ridicule from others can shape you into a better person. CH 12 Chapter 12: My Second Beast Fight ¨C Versus the Horned Lion! After an hour in the library, Wei Feng learned a lot of useful information. Wei Feng paid special attention to the royal beast armor. It turns out that the armor is simply equipment designed specifically for beast fighting. The catch is that the armor¡¯s material is very special. It is primarily made of soft gold that can be freely stretched and is therefore expensive. ¡­ Wei Feng mingled with his class during the first beast interaction class in the afternoon. During the second meditation class, Wei Feng hit a turning point. Every time he uses his mental power to hit the second layer of fog, the gray fog he hits is absorbed by [Ruined Symbol]! With his knowledge, the [Ruined Symbol] corroded the first layer of fog in less than 10 seconds. If he can replenish [Ruined Symbol], wouldn¡¯t the second layer of fog be easily broken in? ¡­ 6:00 p.m.; six o¡¯clock in the afternoon As soon as the class was over, Liu Shuan packed up and left. Judging by his litheness, Liu Shuan clearly didn¡¯t pay attention in his meditation class. Wei Feng rested for a while before packing up and chasing after Liu Shuan, who was almost at the academy¡¯s gate. Wei Feng shook his head. Zhang Xiyao walked past Wei Feng with a hesitant expression. Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to give her the opportunity to speak, so he dashed towards the academy¡¯s Royal Beast Store. He can¡¯t feed the remaining Earth Attribute stones to his Ice Giant now that it has an Ice Attribute. He must purchase Ice Attribute Beast Food. He waited for the other students to leave before entering the store. A bag of ice attribute crystals cost 200 yuan, which was slightly more expensive than other food rations. There were ten crystals inside as well, but second-order royal beasts must eat more than first-order royal beasts. These crystals will only last two days. When Wei Feng returned home, he summoned his Ice Giant and fed it five crystals. With half of the pack already gone, Wei Feng felt a little helpless. ¡­ 7:50pm; Seven fifty o¡¯clock in the evening. The street is well-lit, and the exciting nightlife has only just begun. Watching beasts fight and gambling is always a popular pastime. With his membership card in hand, Wei Feng made his way to the Colosseum. Instead of trying to find a match, he went to find Wang Xin. Wei Feng informed Wang Xin that he had acquired another royal beast ¨C an ice giant. Wei Feng discovered in his library research that many people, even junior beastmasters, can summon two beasts. Although they will be regarded as geniuses, this is not an unusual occurrence. Furthermore, once a junior beastmaster¡¯s mental power reaches 30, they can control two beasts no higher than third-order. Wang Xin was, indeed, surprised, but not overly so. Wang Xin later assisted him in changing his personal information. In this manner, he will be able to compete against a more capable opponent. The first beast fight of the night was soon underway. Wei Feng was assigned Beast Cage No. 6 and began preparing for it as soon as possible. He entered the beast cage¡¯s preparation area, wearing a cap and mask to conceal his identity. He was up against a young man in his twenties. The other party¡¯s identity was not hidden ¨C he was tall and thin, with burgundy curly hair and studs in his left ear. ¡°Hmph! Another man who is afraid to show his face!¡± The curly-haired adolescent curled his lips and extended a middle finger to Wei Feng. Wei Feng remained silent and unresponsive. Ten minutes later, with the sound of the signal gun, the moon-white pentagram in the Colosseum began to light up. The audience went wild. Wei Feng summoned his Ice Giant into the cage, while his opponent summoned his royal beast as well. It was also a second-order royal beast ¨C a horned lion! It is slightly larger than a regular lion, with brown-yellow fur all over its body and a single dark-red horn on its massive head. The horned lion has special abilities as well; it is said that when the color of the horn changes, it represents different elements. Dark red, for example, denotes corrosion. All the horned lion has to do is insert its horn into the enemy¡¯s body and inject a dark red liquid, which completely corrodes the enemy from the inside out. Its fighting ability is relatively weak among second-order royal beasts, but being able to instantly vanquish a royal beast with its single horn is amazing! In the colosseum, ¡°Roar!¡± The horned lion let out a low roar and charged. Wei Feng quickly checked the attributes of the horned lion. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Horned Lion Level: 2 (Intermediate) Attribute: None Strength: 89 Agility: 63 Spirit Power: 75 Core Ability: [Corrosive Horn] ¨C The horn is extremely corrosive, with corrosive power equal to the beast¡¯s strength. This damage is doubled if the horn penetrates an opponent. Type: Evolvable. ¡­ It¡¯s no surprise that the horned lion is said to be able to defeat higher-level royal beasts ¨C his core ability is far too powerful! And when the horn penetrates, the corrosion effect doubles! ¡°Bang!¡± The Ice Giant and the Horned Lion collided. The Ice Giant simply took a step back from the impact, its body not even scratched by the lion¡¯s large claws. On the other hand, the horned lion wheezed as it rolled to the ground after being punched by the Ice Giant. ¡°Roar!¡± The lion roared once more, and its horn emitted a dark red light as it charged at the ice giant. The Ice Giant raised its fist and smashed it into the horn of the horned lion. ¡°Bang!¡± The horned lion was flung against the beast cage with a squeal. Its shattered horn was all over the cage bars, and you could hear the corrosive sound of ¡°Chchchch¡± eating away at the cage. Wei Feng was impressed. The corrosive power of the horned lion should not be underestimated. Wouldn¡¯t the liquid immediately corrode if it came into contact with a human body? ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡°How can his ice giant smash the horn of my beast?!¡± His opponent, on the other side, exclaimed in disbelief. His opponent is a second-level Xingwu Colosseum member who has participated in hundreds of beast fights and has met another ice giant. That ice giant was clearly not as powerful as Wei Feng¡¯s ice giant. With a single horn, that ice giant was corroded into a pile of ice crystals. According to rumors, the horned lion killed more than fifty royal beasts. However, an ice giant of the same rank shattered the horn of the horned lion today. This disproved the rumors that the horned lion can breach all royal beast defenses of the same level. And a fist broke the single horn. The horned lion is now rendered ineffective until it heals. Line 87: How sad. The beast fight was over, and Wei Feng had triumphed. He was victorious in less than 5 minutes. Doesn¡¯t that mean his Ice Giant is now nearly invincible in comparison to all the other second-order royal beasts? The horn of the horned lion was shattered with a single fist, despite the fact that the horn receives the same strength as the horned lion itself. This is because the strength value cannot overcome the Ice Giant¡¯s defensive ability. It is pointless if it is less powerful than the Ice Giant¡¯s defense. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t wait to see his earnings after winning a match. His emotions were complicated when the numbers appeared in front of him at the terminal. The winner¡¯s reward is 2100 yuan. CH 13 Chapter 13: Spreading of Ice For a beast fight that only lasted five minutes, it¡¯s only worth 2100 yuan. However, one of the royal beasts was defeated in this beast fight. If Wei Feng¡¯s Ice Giant was defeated, would he consider 2100 yuan worth the effort? Xingwu Colosseum has clear rules ¨C taking part in a beast fight will reward you whether you win or lose. The remainder are forfeited. If your beast becomes crippled, go heal it. The Colosseum is not liable if the beast dies. The Colosseum is full of beasts who are beaten to death every day. So, why do so many people continue to participate in this beast fight? Perhaps they are in the same situation as Wei Feng, who is unable to support their own beasts financially. Despite the fact that this is a beast-filled world, less than half of the population can support their own beasts. This is an actual Federation statistic. ¡­ Wei Feng left after withdrawing all of the money from the membership card. Although his Ice Giant is unharmed and would be fine if he participated in more beast fights, Wei Feng prefers that the Ice Giant keep a low profile. The Ice Giant was buffed by the S-Class Forbidden Item ¨C [Absolute Zero], which was forced on him by the same man who knocked him to half-death the night before. This also takes into account the Stone Skin passive that was transferred to Wei Feng ¨C he was thrown into a state of half-death despite being immune to damage of less than 60 strength! Only one could imagine how strong this person was. It¡¯s also not unreasonable to believe that the man is no longer alive. Wei Feng, on the other hand, is not going to take any chances. He has nothing to rely on in this world, so he must be cautious and take care of himself. His beast fight ended prematurely, and there were still a lot of people on the road. There were some beautifully dressed women walking with their royal beasts, creating a one-of-a-kind image. These women keep their beasts as pets and never break through the first layer of fog in their heads. They only summon beasts of the third order and summon them repeatedly until they obtain a beautiful beast as a pet. In general, these people are content with their lives, so they enjoy the material aspects of life. He didn¡¯t want to go through that intersection last night, even though it would take him 10 minutes longer to get home. Wei Feng stopped by a Royal Beast Store and purchased two bags of ice crystals. This will suffice for the ice giant¡¯s rations for the next five days. When Wei Feng returned to town, he paid the 82 yuan electricity bill. Back at home, Wei Feng turned on the light, and the room was no longer dark. His father had not yet returned. He had only remembered his father¡¯s appearance since he was forced into this world, but he had never met him in person. However, Wei Feng had no feelings for him. After all, he doesn¡¯t even know who he is. 10:00 p.m.; ten o¡¯clock at night. Wei Feng sat on his bed, accompanied by the low hum of the fan. Loneliness swarmed Wei Feng. Wei Feng sat up quickly and went to his desk, where he found a piece of white paper and began drawing. He just scribbled and drew whatever came to him. It only made him feel more alone. ¡°Hooh!¡± Wei Feng inhaled deeply and entered his mind. He slammed into the second layer of fog. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡­ When he hit the fog barrier, his brain sounded like drums, with traces of gray fog scattered everywhere. The [Ruined Symbols] gradually recharged, absorbing every trace of the gray and white fog. 11:15p.m.; Eleven fifteen. Wei Feng¡¯s head was buzzing with ¡°Dong, dong, dong¡± sounds. He opened his eyes as if he had been drinking. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± His body fell onto the bed and fell asleep within a few seconds. It turns out that using your mental strength to smash through fog barriers is an effective way to fall asleep quickly. 11:30p.m.; Eleven thirty. Wei Feng was still in deep sleep. The [Absolute Zero] mark embedded in his left chest began to glow faintly. The snowflake pattern began to spread throughout Wei Feng¡¯s body. As the ice pattern spread across Wei Feng¡¯s forehead, his rapid breathing slowed. ¡­ The following morning. Wei Feng slept until he naturally awoke. He felt revitalized, and his body was cool ¨C ideal for the midsummer season. 6:30am; Six thirty. He stood up to wash his hands and summoned the Ice Giant, who gave him five ice crystals. It was seven o¡¯clock in the morning. Wei Feng then approached Liu Shuan¡¯s apartment and gently knocked. Aunt Zhao, Liu Shuan¡¯s mother, opened the door. She is a stay-at-home mom. ¡°Aunt Zhao, where is Liu Shuan? We have to get to school!¡± Wei Feng inquired, a smile on his face. ¡°What? Liu Shuan has already left awhile ago! Didn¡¯t he accompany you?¡± Aunt Zhao was taken aback. ¡°No¡­¡± said Wei Feng. ¡°Wei Feng, did you argue with Liu Shuan?¡± Aunt Zhao worriedly inquired. ¡°He wasn¡¯t overjoyed when he returned yesterday.¡± ¡°No!¡± exclaimed Wei Feng hastily. ¡°No! I didn¡¯t squabble with him. Perhaps he isn¡¯t getting used to the academy¡¯s lessons! I¡¯ll check up on him later.¡± ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll leave the trouble to you then!¡± Aunt Zhao joked. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± He smiled and walked away. ¡­ He bought two buns from the bakery and munched on them on his way to the academy. He has no idea how to console Liu Shuan. A mature adolescent in a slump must get through it on his own. Be a man and man up. Liu Shuan was not in class when Wei Feng arrived. Wei Feng took a seat, and Zhang Xiyao handed him a note. She gestured for him to read the note. ¡°Is Liu Shuan all right?¡± I heard you and him are best friends and neighbors. Please assist me in apologizing to him.¡± Wei Feng considered the petite handwriting for a moment before responding, ¡°He¡¯s fine, but if you¡¯re worried, why don¡¯t you go apologize to him instead?¡± After returning the note, Wei Feng took out his ¡°Junior Beastmaster Runes¡± and opened to the seventh page. Zhang Xiyao frowned as she read his response. She could feel that he was trying to keep his distance from her. She was about to toss the note away when she noticed Wei Feng studying summoning symbols, which piqued her interest. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you summon your beast yesterday?¡± wrote Zhang Xiyao quickly. She handed over the note. Liu Shuan entered the classroom, watching the scene unfold in front of him. T/N: 82 yuan is approximately equal to $12.94 USD; imagine having your power turned off for $12.94 USD. CH 14 Chapter 14: The Rich Kid¡¯s Royal Beast To be honest, Wei Feng had not anticipated such an embarrassing scene. He happened to be seen by Liu Shuan just as he took her note ¨C he didn¡¯t seem to take it kindly; his face was as ugly as eating a dead fly. Liu Shuan trudged to his seat, clearly angry, without saying anything. Wei Feng felt awkward as he held her note. It was pointless to explain it to Liu Shuan because it would only add fuel to the fire. After about two minutes of silence, Liu Shuan said something bold to Wei Feng: ¡°Return to me all of my money that I lent you! Let¡¯s call it quits on this friendship,¡± he said flatly to Wei Feng. When teenagers are upset, the most direct way for the other party to admit their error is through monetary means! ¡°I lent you 1450 yuan, return it right now!¡± Liu Shuan remembered exactly how much he lent to Wei Feng. He couldn¡¯t believe how serious Liu Shuan was ¨C he felt helpless. Even though he has the funds to repay Liu Shuan, he is unable to do so. That would be the end of their friendship. Wei Feng wanted to stand up and explain the situation to Liu Shuan, but Zhang Xiyao quickly stood up and said, ¡°Ah, Liu Shuan, I¡¯m really sorry for the scene yesterday. Please forgive me if it caused you any problems.¡± ¡°A-ah! No, no, no, it¡¯s all right,¡± Liu Shuan¡¯s face flushed and he panickedly waved his hands around. ¡°It¡¯s not a problem at all; you didn¡¯t cause me any problems!¡± I apologized to you already for being too abrupt.¡± With Zhang Xiyao apologizing to him, Liu Shuan forgot about the debt owed to him by Wei Feng. 8:00 a.m.; eight o¡¯clock; the head teacher entered the classroom. Another transfer student was right behind him! ¡°What¡¯s going on? There seem to be a lot of transfer students coming in these days! I heard the other day that other classes have a lot of transfer students.¡±Liu Shuan said quietly to Wei Feng. The new transfer student was well-dressed and had a clean face; he also had middle-parted hair and wore an expensive mechanical watch on his right wrist. ¡°Hello everyone. My name is Wang Jiahao. I am 16 years old and from Haicheng. My royal beast is a third-order Shadow Demon. ¡± He explained as he summoned his creature. Shadow Demons are humanoids with demonic features and a high level of agility. Everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to his Shadow Demon¡¯s fiery red armor and the blade of fire it wielded as he summoned it. Obviously, this is from the Beast Fighting Armory. Wei Feng used his mental strength to assess the attributes of the Shadow Demon out of curiosity. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Shadow Demon Level: 3 (Intermediate) Attribute: Darkness Strength: 195 (+50) Agility: 237 Spirit Power: 145 Core Ability: [Shadow Assault] ¨C Effect: Increase the Agility stat by 200% for one second. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Beast Armor: [Tier 3 Flame Armor] ¨C Effect: Blocks any attack below 150 strength and increases the wearer¡¯s strength stat by 50. [Tier 3 Flame Double-Wield Swords] ¨C Effect: Ignores the defense stat of up to 150 strength value. Burns enemies. Type: Evolvable. ¡­ The third-order royal beast armor! Wei Feng was taken aback. Not to mention, those dual-wield swords can sever his Ice Giant! In this world, it¡¯s all about money. Wei Feng frowned. This isn¡¯t a coincidence. Yesterday it was Zhang Xiyao, and today it is Wang Jiahao. This influx of transfer students cannot be a coincidence. Something in Yangtze must have piqued their interest. Something that entices even the wealthiest of people. Ordinary people like Wei Feng, Liu Shuan, and the locals have no idea what it is. ¡­ People broke the rules in the first interaction class of the day by going to the other classes¡¯ area to chat with each other. There was no warning from the loudspeaker either. Yangtze Junior Beastmaster Academy has changed. Wei Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, obliviously watching other students train their beasts. He was engrossed in thought. Is it related to the Class-S Forbidden Item he currently possesses? Wei Feng was concerned. If it¡¯s about the Class-S Forbidden Item, that should be reason enough for them to come here. Wei Feng does not have time to get distracted. He must speak with Zhang Xiyao. Everyone went back to their classes after the interaction class. With so many prodigies in the academy these days, no one will notice Wei Feng summoning his Ice Giant. There was a 10-minute break in class. Wei Feng took out the note he had received earlier today and wrote on it, ¡°What brought you to Yangtze?¡± As he handed over the note, Zhang Xiyao simply smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s a secret!¡± She¡¯s hiding something. Wei Feng didn¡¯t give up and wrote another note. ¡°Does it have anything to do with the Class-S Forbidden Item here?¡± When she read the note, Zhang Xiyao gave him a surprised look and quickly scribbled a response. ¡°Not entirely. There are other things to see in Yangtze. Beautiful things! Do you want to know what I¡¯m talking about? I¡¯ll tell you about it if you tell me about your beast.¡± Wei Feng felt helpless in the face of the beautiful, petite handwriting. So Zhang Xiyao doesn¡¯t have my mental strength and has always been intrigued by my beast. He reflected to himself. She must be curious. Wei Feng smiled and wrote out a reply. Zhang Xiyao quickly grabbed the note, but as soon as she read it, she crumpled it into a ball and smashed it onto the table. ¡°Ugh, you¡¯re so annoying!¡± Zhang Xiyao was enraged and ignored Wei Feng while reading the book in front of her. Wei Feng smiled as he picked up the paper ball from her table, shredded it, and tossed it into the trash can. Liu Shuan returned his gaze to the scene in front of him. He can¡¯t possibly lose to Wei Feng. He couldn¡¯t figure it out. As the meditation class begins, it became quiet. Wei Feng persisted in his attempt to break through the second layer of fog. He noticed that the [Ruined Symbol] emitted a ruinous and decaying odor. It appears that he will be able to use it soon. 12:00 p.m.; Twelve o¡¯ clock noon. Wei Feng opened his eyes. He tried for an hour and fifty minutes to break through the fog barrier. Without any breaks. He didn¡¯t feel tired, nor did he feel depleted of spirit power. Wei Feng realized it was due to a hidden factor. All the work¡ªhis Class-S Forbidden Item¡ª[Absolute Zero]! CH 15 Chapter 15: Homeless Wei Feng arrived at the library as usual after a quick lunch. This time, he discovered a number of books on forbidden items. He wanted to know if there were any restrictions on using the items, as well as the potential side effects. After all, he is in possession of two forbidden items. Forbidden items are obviously forbidden for a reason. He doesn¡¯t believe they will be harmful to his body in the long run. Wei Feng did find some useful information half an hour later. So far, no side effects have been recorded with currently known forbidden items! Wei Feng was surprised by this. Perhaps that is what distinguishes this world from his. Some unusual objects can defy the Theory of Relativity. However, there are no side effects in general. This took a huge weight off Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders. ¡­ Wei Feng breezed through the first interaction class of the afternoon by doing nothing. Wei Feng then hit the fog barrier for more than an hour during the second meditation class. The fog barrier moved only slightly. It would take more than ten days to open up another layer of fog under the guidance of the blue light. Not to mention that Wei Feng currently lacks a guide. Wei Feng packed his stuff and left with Liu Shuan at exactly six o¡¯clock, 6:00 p.m. They talked and laughed as they walked towards their town. As they approached the entrance to their apartment, Wei Feng noticed a familiar figure from a distance. Father! For the first time, his worthless father appeared. However, there was an unknown man collecting items, and the items in his vehicle resembled a few pieces of furniture from his home! What¡¯s going on? Wei Feng took a quick step forward. When his father saw him, he yelled, ¡°Useless boy, where have you been all day?!!¡± Wei Feng frowned. He now understands why his former self was so disgusted with him. ¡°What are you doing? Why did you sell the furniture? That¡¯s my desk too!¡± Wei Feng questioned him. His father appeared incredibly drunk, with a flushed face: ¡°Ha ha! I was about to tell you ¨C I sold the house, and you¡¯re already 16 ¨C I¡¯ll find you a job tomorrow. You¡¯ll do it.¡± ¡°Why did you sell the house? Why?!¡± Wei Feng asked in surprise. ¡°You useless boy, don¡¯t yell at me. Why should I explain anything to you? I¡¯m going to beat you to death right now.¡± He was clearly drunk as he yelled threats at Wei Feng. At this point, a middle-aged woman and a teenager about his age exited their pink car at the community¡¯s gate. The woman wore a lot of makeup and had a lot of curls in her hair. Her high heels were at least 5 inches tall, and she walked towards them. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly. Could this be his father¡¯s mistress? According to the former body¡¯s memory, his father couldn¡¯t have known this woman at such a young age, implying that the teenager was not his father¡¯s illegitimate child. He was probably just a boy-toy. ¡°What are you doing, my dear Wei Qing? Didn¡¯t you promise me that Momo would be treated as if he were your own child from now on? Are you breaking your promise?¡± With a whimper, the woman approached Wei Feng and his father and said to him. Wei Feng felt goosebumps all over his body. How cruel is this! The woman turned back around to the delivery man and said, ¡°Xiao Wan, could you take Momo back to my car? Give me ten minutes. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± 1 His father pushed the woman away quickly, clearly wanting her to leave. But she was adamant about staying. She began to struggle, and her whimpering voice could be heard once more. ¡°I¡¯m not going! I¡¯m staying until you speak clearly to me! Don¡¯t try to deceive me.¡± Wei Feng couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. If he continued to listen to this woman, his ears would fall off. ¡°Hey, old hag! Can you speak clearly? What¡¯s going on!¡± With those two words, it directly pierced through the woman¡¯s heart. Old hag! It is an extremely taboo thing to bring up to a woman. Sure enough, the woman was stunned, and shouted, ¡°Wei Qing, l-look at your son! He holds zero respect, aren¡¯t you going to discipline him?¡± His father¡¯s face darkened as he glared angrily at Wei Feng and stretched out his palm. ¡°You useless son!¡± Wei Feng snatched his father¡¯s arm as it was about to strike him. ¡°Stupid boy, worthless boy! How dare you fight back!¡± He wasn¡¯t expecting Wei Feng to fight back; his body was stunned. ¡°Grrr!¡± Wei Feng scowled at him, and his father extended his other hand. Wei Feng, for his part, slammed him to the ground. His father was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect his son to have this much power. They haven¡¯t seen each other in ages ¨C his son has never dared to speak up or fight back. Why is he fighting back now? He shuddered at the sudden change. Stunned, the woman summoned Momo to her side to summon his royal beast. Momo appeared to be the same age as Wei Feng ¨C he was dressed in a tracksuit and his hair was shaped like a mushroom ¨C he definitely looked like a sugar baby. When she asked him to summon his royal beast, he drew the summoning symbols in front of Wei Feng with a solemn expression. All Wei Feng wanted to do was laugh. Wei Feng punched him in the stomach as he took a step forward. ¡°Eugh!¡± The boy¡¯s body bowed forward like a shrimp, and the summoning symbol shattered into pieces, making a muffled sound. ¡°Hmph!¡± Momo fell to the ground clutching his stomach. Wei Feng punched him hard ¨C the boy couldn¡¯t even scream in pain when he was beaten. The woman was terrified and fell to him, shaking him, saying, ¡°Ah! Help! A murder has occurred! Help me! Save me¡± Wei Feng frowned once more. The community¡¯s security is already on their way. ¡°Oof!¡± Wei Feng silenced her by slapping her across the neck. Looking at his father, who was sprawled on the ground in a pitiful state, Wei Feng declared, ¡°It¡¯s a disgrace to share the same family name with you. I¡¯m not interested in having any relationships with you!¡± Wei Feng approached the delivery man, grabbed two of his books, placed them in his bags, and began walking out the community gate. Liu Shuan dashed after him, ¡°W-wait! Where are you going, Wei Feng? Spend one night with me. It¡¯s a dangerous world out there!¡± Wei Feng came to a halt and stared at him. He removed 1500 yuan from his bag and placed it in Liu Shuan¡¯s hands. ¡°Here¡¯s the money you lent me, plus interest.¡± Liu Shuan was shocked and turned to face Wei Feng. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Wei Feng said before Liu Shuan could respond. ¡°I¡¯m not going to sleep on the road or go hungry. I¡¯ll see you on campus tomorrow.¡± Wei Feng patted Liu Shuan on the shoulder and walked away without looking back. 1 The translation is a little wonky here; I¡¯m not sure who Xiao Wan is ¨C but he¡¯s most likely the delivery man carrying their belongings. Momo is the woman¡¯s son; Wei Feng thought he was the woman¡¯s boy-toy. CH 16 Chapter 16: Dorm 705 To be honest, Wei Feng never felt anything towards his father. From his former memories, he never liked him. Moreover, his memories were like a movie to him¡ªit doesn¡¯t make sense to call an actor playing your father in a movie your father, right? Then, it won¡¯t be as immersive. ¡­ The sky was completely dark, and the neon lights on the streets illuminated the way. The night is still young. The roar of a train could be heard from several streets across. Wei Feng returned to campus and asked where his teacher was staying with the security. He had to find a place to live first. Student accommodation is available on campus¡ªhe just needs to inquire about it from his teacher. To the east of the interaction area, behind a row of trees, were the dormitories. The first six-story building was the teacher¡¯s dorms; each teacher has their own room, but most don¡¯t live in the academy. Therefore, the dorm was mostly empty. Wei Feng came to the third floor, to room 012, and knocked gently. Knock knock! The door opened. It was not his teacher who opened the door, but a woman wearing a dark green dress with long hair and a shawl. She was beautiful! Ahh¡­ Wei Feng was stunned. The woman said, ¡°Are you a student from class 7? The Master is taking a shower! Come in and wait! ¡± Wei Feng finally realised that this woman wasn¡¯t human. Behind her was a pair of translucent wings. She also had long and pointy ears hidden in her hair. An elf! Wei Feng couldn¡¯t believe it was an elf. Wei Feng was surprised. Her tall figure, her curvy body, and her beautiful appearance. It¡¯s very appealing. He didn¡¯t expect his teacher to have such a superb royal beast. Wei Feng did not enter and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just wait outside!¡± After a short while. His teacher, wrapped in a white towel, walked out of his bathroom with wet hair. He glanced at Wei Feng outside his door, and said, ¡°Wh- what are you doing here so late?¡± Wei Feng quickly clarified, ¡°Teacher, I¡­ don¡¯t have a place to live at anymore. I need to apply for accommodation here.¡± ¡°My god.¡± His teacher was in disbelief, but turned around and walked into his room. After a while, he handed keys to Wei Feng. ¡°In the student dorm, room 705. Two other students in your class live there!¡± ¡°Thank you so much!¡± Wei Feng quickly took the key, bowed gratefully, and left. His teacher watched him leave, and sighed in worry. ¡°This poor child¡­ what happened at home? Doesn¡¯t his family know about his pure talent?¡± ¡­ Wei Feng came to the three student dorms, It was different from the teachers¡¯ dorms. Each building only had four floors, but the area of each floor is very large. Room 705 is on the second floor, at the end of the corridor ¨C the second room from the end. It¡¯s still early, and most of the students living in the dorm haven¡¯t slept. It was noisy. Many classmates gathered together, eating hot pot, drinking beer. Minus the royal beasts, this world was no different from his original world. At the end of the corridor, he came to room 705, and gently pushed opened the door. The room was very quiet, with two bunk beds on each side. Four beds in total. The beds on the left and right were full of items and blankets. But there was only one other person in the room who was lying on the lower bunk bed, staring at their phone. ¡°You¡¯re back ¨C did you get me my food yet?¡± Yang Xin thought that it was his roommate who returned. ¡°Uh, he hasn¡¯t returned yet.¡± Wei Feng replied. Yang Xin was taken aback, ¡°Wei Feng! Why are you here? Y-you¡¯re living here?¡± Yang Xin is the guy sitting in the front of Wei Feng. He often chats with Zhang Xiyao under the guise of chatting with Wei Feng. ¡°Yeah.¡± Wei Feng affirmed, and put his bag on the top left bunk bed. ¡°We¡¯ll be roommates from now on.¡± ¡°By the way, the head teacher said that another person lives here too. Who is it?¡± Wei Feng pointed to the other empty bunk bed. ¡°Oh. Wang Xin. He went to buy me food ¨C fried noodles in sauce. You want one? I¡¯ll ask him to buy another one.¡± Yang Xin waved his phone and replied. ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng nodded; he hasn¡¯t eaten. Yang Xin quickly texted Wang Xin to get another pack of noodles, and that Wei Feng has come to live with them. After sending the text, the two chatted. There are plenty of topics to talk about amongst teenagers ¨C although Wei Feng was mentally older than the other by two years, this doesn¡¯t affect his young heart. Wang Xin came back after twenty minutes. In addition to three servings of noodles, he carried six cans of beer! ¡°We got a new roommate; we have to celebrate!¡± Wang Xin put down the food, and threw a can each at Wei Feng and Yang Xin. It was still cold. ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be shy.¡± Yang Xin was delighted and raised his beer can to touch Wei Feng¡¯s can, and raised his head to start chugging the beer. Wei Feng drank too. The beer in this world was sweeter than the one in his old world. It was refreshing and thirst-quenching. The entire room was then filled with a savory smell. The noodles and cold beer suppressed the heat of this summer. Wei Feng felt that living in the dorm wasn¡¯t so bad after all. Yang Xin obviously couldn¡¯t hold his liquor, however. Drinking two beers was enough for him to start speaking nonsense. Wei Feng smiled awkwardly. This guy is no less obsessed with Zhang Xiyao than Liu Shuan! Wei Feng kept his thoughts to himself and just listened. Later, Wei Feng couldn¡¯t sleep. When sleeping in a foreign environment, insomnia was inevitable. Breaking fog barriers in his brain didn¡¯t work eithe CH 17 Chapter 17: Growth Early in the morning. Wei Feng opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eyes was the white roof that was less than two meters away from him. He turned to look at the lower right bunk. Yang Xin was sprawled all over his bed ¨C the patterns on his boxers crumpled together, as if it was smiling. Wei Feng looked away and glanced at the marks on his left chest. Icy patterns had already spread all over his body. Ever since it started to spread, Wei Feng only felt stronger. It may not be too obvious, but he definitely felt stronger. He took a look at his own attribute panel. [Properties Panel] Host: Wei Feng [Strongest Royal Beast System] Age: 16 Rank: Junior Beastmaster Strength: 15 (+11.5) Agility: 19 (+4.5) Spirit Power: 49 (+8) Power of Control (Intermediate Level) ¨C [You gain 10% of your royal beast¡¯s attributes.] Forbidden Items: S-Tier ¨C [Absolute Zero] ¨C The conditions have been met. ALL of your stats are increased by 2 every 24 hours. C-Tier ¨C [Ruined Symbols] ¨C Conditions are not met yet. Core Ability: [Hardened Skin] ¨C Derived from [Ice Giant], your skin is tough and can resist attacks of strength not higher than 115. Royal Beast: [Second-Order Ice Giant] ¡­ The conditions for [Absolute Zero] has been met ¨C every 24 hours, he gains two points for every attribute! Isn¡¯t this too strong? In this world, royal beasts are powerful ¨C their strength can easily reach up to the thousands. But it is difficult for humans to become stronger. The Federation recorded that a beast master could only reach 300 points in all attributes in two years ¨C after consuming countless potions and medicines. The beast master never stopped there though. When he reached 40 years old, his body aged rapidly, and died. The side effects to those medicines he consumed were great. But if Wei Feng wants to reach 300 points in all attributes, it would only take 150 days. Only five months. With no side effects! That¡¯s the power of forbidden items. ¡­ After getting up, he bought some toiletries at the convenience store downstairs ¨C he then washed himself and went to buy breakfast. When he brought breakfast back, Wang Xin¡¯s alarm clock sounded. Time: 6:30am. Yang Xin was awakened by the alarm and immediately said, ¡°Mm! Is that the smell of steamed buns and fried dough sticks!¡± Wei Feng sat at the wooden table while eating a bun and said, ¡°Your nose is so sharp ¨C it is steamed buns and fried dough sticks! But you didn¡¯t smell the millet porridge!¡± ¡°Wei Feng, you got up really early!¡± Wang Xin sat up, impressed. ¡°These two days, I¡¯ve been buying breakfast. Now I get to wake up to breakfast-in-bed!¡± ¡°Wang Xin, what are you saying! Do you think I¡¯m lazy?!¡± Yang Xin, who overheard this while washing up in the bathroom, shouted. ¡°Nonsense! There¡¯s no point in disliking you.¡± Wang Xin walked into the bathroom and talked with Yang Xin. Suddenly, roars of royal beasts sounded throughout the dorm. After they ate, Yang Xin and Wang Xin summoned their beasts to feed them. Wang Xin¡¯s beast was a first-order wolf, while Yang Xin¡¯s beast is a first-order troll. They both eat dried meat. So, this is why the student dorms were considerably bigger than teacher dorms ¨C it is to accommodate for the beasts too. They then looked at Wei Feng curiously. ¡°Have you already fed your beast?¡± Yang Xin asked. Wang Xin added, ¡°By the way, what is your royal beast? I never saw it.¡± Sure enough, after two days of not summoning his royal beast, people have already forgotten what his beast was. ¡°Wh-¡± Yang Xin cut himself off. ¡°Isn¡¯t your mental power just five? Why can¡¯t I read your beasts¡¯ profile? ¡± ¡°I can¡¯t read it either!¡± Wang Xin exclaimed, and looked at Wei Feng. Wei Feng quickly got up and closed the dorm door. Only the teacher probably knows about his beast. I guess that means my royal beast isn¡¯t a secret. It¡¯s okay to tell them, he thought to himself. His class will soon know about it anyways. After all, tomorrow is the start of tests. Under the suspicious eyes of the two, Wei Feng summoned his Ice Giant. They were speechless. Yang Xin: ¡°¡­¡± Wang Xin: ¡°¡­¡± They were dumbfounded. Although Wang Xin had forgotten what the beast was, it definitely wasn¡¯t the beast in front of him. His memory wouldn¡¯t lie to him. Yang Xin blinked in confusion, ¡°Y-you got another royal beast?¡± ¡°Yup,¡± he nodded. ¡°I already broke the first layer of fog, and my mental power was just a little higher than the Stone Man, so I decided to summon another royal beast.¡± ¡°Shit!¡± ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± Yang Xin inquired, ¡°Is this a third-order beast?¡± ¡°Second-order.¡± Wang Xin stepped forward and touched the crystallised ice on the Ice Giant¡¯s body, ¡°This is a second-order royal beast? Why does it feel that¡­ it¡¯s stronger than Zhao Ming¡¯s beast?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a Power Attribute beast!¡± Wei Feng explained. Wang Xin and Yang Xin shook their heads in disbelief. While envious, they couldn¡¯t believe Wei Feng hid the beast so well. Wei Feng was being modest, saying he got lucky. They both nodded in agreement. It actually isn¡¯t easy to simply remove a beast and summon another one. You have to meet the first condition. Which is to have spirit power higher than that of your royal beast! That¡¯s the most important factor. When your spirit power exceeds that of your beast, only then could the relationship between you and your beast be severed. Under normal circumstances, this only ever happens when a junior beastmaster surpasses his own first-order beasts in mental power and breaks the first layer of fog in their brain. If their own beasts are weak, most beast masters choose to sever the relationship between their beasts and summon another one. Of course, this only applies to beasts below the third level. After all, it is just a junior beast master. When the first layer of fog is broken, the spirit power of the beast master increases to about fifty. When your mental strength exceeds 50, you become an intermediate beast master. You can get then summon royal beasts of the third-order and above, to the sixth-order. According to statistics from the Federation, only 30% of junior beast masters can exceed 50 mental strengths after breaking the first layer of fog. It¡¯s fucked up. Because the other 70% only miss this mark by about two or three points. These two or three points are the difference between a junior beast master and an intermediate beastmaster. Just like college examinations, the different of two or three points could mean not getting into your dream college! CH 18 Chapter 18: P.E.G Medicine Not all hope is lost. PEG Pharmaceuticals. This is the most direct way to enhance spiritual power and mental strength. Unlike the CE series of medicine, PEG series of medicine¡¯s effects are permanent. It can be compared to eating food, really. If your mental strength is a person, then PEG is food. People will gain weight after eating food. However, it¡¯s expensive and they have side effects. Seven forty in the morning. The three entered class together. Liu Shuan had already arrived and happily waved Wei Feng over. Wei Feng sat down, and Liu Shuan handed him a small bottle. ¡°What is this?¡± He took the bottle and read the label. PEG-015 Medicine! And a small gift! What?! What¡¯s in the box? Wei Feng looked back at Liu Shuan. Liu Shuan took out his own small bottle, ¡°This medicine¡­ I bought it from a group chat yesterday, 3000 yuan. And it was a buy one free one deal!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Wei Feng blinked. PEG Pharmaceuticals provides fifteen different medicine, and the market price for PEG-015 medicines are about 5000 yuan. Liu Shuan bought it for 3000 yuan, and it was a buy one free one deal? This can¡¯t be. ¡°Come on, Wei Feng. Drink it!¡± Liu Shuan looked at Wei Feng happily. Wei Feng: ¡°¡­¡± Wei Feng was speechless. Don¡¯t treat me as a guinea pig! Or maybe this was a genuine gift for him to try. This little shit. ¡°I can¡¯t drink this.¡± Wei Feng refused, and handed the medicine back. ¡°You! Don¡¯t drink it either!¡± Liu Shuan was anxious too ¨C he was also a little afraid to try it. Yang Xin, who was in front of them, turned his head and said, ¡°Liu Shuan, let me try it!¡± ¡°You-¡± Liu Shuan was a little reluctant. He then asked Wei Feng, and seeing that Wei Feng was being firm, he gave the bottle to Yang Xin. ¡°I¡¯m also in that group you talked about ¨C I wanted to buy this for a long time, but I was a bit skeptical! I¡¯ll try it now.¡± Yang Xin explained. Wei Feng was a little surprised. It seems that many students in their class were taking supplements. Nowadays, people can easily break through the first layer of fog. The students have already begun to plan ahead. Yang Xin took the medicine, pulled out the cork and drank it. A mouthful of blue liquid, with a bit of fluorescence. After Yang Xin drank, he closed his eyes. Wei Feng and Liu Shuan looked curiously. After about five minutes, Yang Xin opened his eyes, ¡°It works!¡± Yang Xin was overjoyed and spoke to Liu Shuan, ¡°It¡¯s true ¨C my mental power has increased by two ¨C this potion is real!¡± Liu Shuan widened his eyes and quickly drank his medicine. It was the same bottle with blue liquid and fluorescence lights. Liu Shuan, too, closed his eyes. After five minutes, he opened his eyes and said, ¡°Damn! I really did save a lot of money!¡± He turned to Wei Feng, ¡°It¡¯s a pity you didn¡¯t drink it.¡± Wei Feng just smiled. With his forbidden item, he didn¡¯t need this medicine. Eight o¡¯ clock in the morning. The head teacher walked in with another transfer student behind him. Seeing the transfer student, Wei Feng hid his face in shock. Today¡¯s transfer student was actually the son of his father¡¯s mistress ¨C Momo! Liu Shuan quickly turned to Wei Feng and grabbed his arm, ¡°Feng! It¡¯s the kid you sent to the hospital yesterday!¡± Momo also saw Wei Feng, and a flash of fear appeared on his face. ¡°Nice to meet all of you. I¡¯m Cheng Mo. I¡¯m 16. My royal beast is a first-order Shadow Demon.¡± Wei Feng just smiled at him until he sat on the right of the third row. ¡°Alright. To the interaction class.¡± ¡­ The first interaction class of the day. Wei Feng had zero intention of summoning his Ice Giant. Although Yang Xin and Wang Xin know about it, that doesn¡¯t mean he wants to announce it to the public. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± A scene happened. Liu Weiwei, a sturdy girl, fought with Zhao Yuanyuan. While their two beasts were fighting each other, Liu Weiwei pulled Zhao Yuanyuan¡¯s hair. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wei Feng stood up. He couldn¡¯t believe girls could fight fiercer than boys. The class monitor Wu Jiajia quickly rushed over, and Liu Weiwei stopped. But the two royal beasts were still fighting ¨C it was Zhang Xiyao who had to summon her royal beast to stop the fighting. Liu Weiwei and Zhao Yuanyuan were then called to the staff room. Liu Shuan started to gossip around to find out what happen. Turns out, Zhao Yuanyuan and another classmate were talking behind Liu Weiwei¡¯s back, so Liu Weiwei simply retaliated physically. ¡°Did you see that?! Liu Weiwei is so violent, she ripped Zhao Yuanyuan¡¯s hair off! Isn¡¯t that crazy?!¡± Liu Shuan said in shock. ¡°Be careful around her,¡± said Yang Xin. ¡°Or you might get beaten too.¡± ¡­ That kerfuffle made the interaction class noisier. The teacher came at the end of the class. He criticized the behavior of the two girls, then announced one thing. To form teams! That means the actual courses were about to begin. Beforehand, the classes were just for the students to get to know each other. The courses of an academy aren¡¯t that technical. From the beginning of the term, various practical trainings, team building, etc will be done every day. The last three days, the teachers worked tirelessly. They assigned teams based on each classmate¡¯s fighting power. The teacher took out a list and announced: ¡°Wang Jiahao, Zhao Ming, Zhang Xiyao, Wu Jiajia, Wei Feng, you five, a team.¡± Everyone looked at Wei Feng. The first four names were obviously the strongest, but Wei Feng? Wait, what is his royal beast anyways? At this time, Liu Shuan looked at Wei Feng in disbelief, and asked, ¡°Why can¡¯t I read your royal beast¡¯s profile¡­ Wei Feng!¡± CH 19 Chapter 19: Breaking Through to the Third-Order! Liu Shuan discovered that Wei Feng¡¯s mental power had surpassed him. Wei Feng, in turn, wasn¡¯t surprised he got into the team. By now, his personal information should have changed to fit his Second-Order Ice Giant. ¡°Liu Shuan, Yang Xin, Liu Weiwei, Wang Xin, Cheng Mo, you five are a team.¡± There are twenty-four students in the class, divided into five teams. The last team only had four members. After the teams were allocated, the second meditation class was replaced with an interaction class. The teacher let each team get to know each other. The same is true for other classes, and the playground was full with noise. Wei Feng, Wu Jiajia, and Zhang Xiyao gathered together. Of course, class monitor Wu Jiajia was also the team leader. The most powerful Wang Jiahao kept a low profile ¨C Wei Feng thinks that although he is big and tall, he is shy. This caused Zhao Ming to be humble. After all, the real big boss is beside him. ¡°Wei Feng, let us see your beast!¡± Wu Jiajia ordered Wei Feng. Wang Jiahao pushed his glasses¡¯ frame on the bridge of his nose and said, ¡°Wei Feng. Aren¡¯t you just breaking the first layer of fog in your brain? But your mental strength is far exceeding my expectations! Even I can¡¯t read your royal beast¡¯s profile.¡± Wang Jiahao¡¯s words were clear. Even though he broke the first layer of fog, his mental strength doesn¡¯t exceed Wei Feng. It¡¯s normal. Wei Feng has a forbidden item and Power of Control ¨C at present, his mental power is 57. How could anyone else compare! Wei Feng summoned his beast. ¡°This¡­ is an Ice Giant.¡± Wu Jiajia looked at him suspiciously. Zhao Ming inquired, ¡°Third-order?¡± ¡°Nope. Second.¡± Wei Feng explained. ¡°Oh.¡± There was a hint of disappointment in Wu Jiajia¡¯s voice. Wang Jiahao was also surprised. Seemed like his Ice Giant didn¡¯t meet the expectation of his teammates. The rest of them summoned their royal beasts. Zhang Xiyao¡¯s Dark Knight and Wang Jiahao¡¯s Shadow Demon belong to the royal beast¡¯s that have strong attack. In addition, they are armed. Although Zhao Ming¡¯s double-tailed scorpion is also armed, he has a more flexible control on his beast¡¯s ability. Poison is generally used to contain other beasts. And Wei Feng¡¯s beast is completely defensive. Wu Jiajia¡¯s beast, although first-order, is a rare wood-attribute healing beast. ¡°No wonder we got placed into a group.¡± The five beasts are impressive ¨C attack, contain, defence, and healing. A perfect, well-rounded team. ¡­ In the afternoon, each team mingled with each other. At four o¡¯ clock, class ends. Wei Feng went to the convenience store to get necessities, and then returned to the dorm. Putting his things, he then left the dorm again. He ran out of money ¨C he¡¯s going to earn it at the Xingwu Colosseum. Because if you can¡¯t feed your beast, it might die. Although he is confident in his beast, if he encounters an armed beast, it¡¯ll all be over. At 7:00 in the evening, Wei Feng appeared in the colosseum. After matching with an opponent, he entered the colosseum to prepare. Today, he gets Beast Cage No.3. At 7:30, the signal gun sounded. Cheers roared throughout the colosseum. His opponent was a Second-Order Troll, known for its strength. However, it fell slightly short than that of the Ice Giant¡¯s defence, and lost. Wei Feng played only one match and left. He bought supper and cold beer. Wang Xin bought him noodles, it¡¯s his turn to return to favour. It could be that he drank a bit, but as soon as he returned to the dorm, he slept immediately. The next morning. The three came to class together, and Wu Jiajia posted the new curriculum. The new course includes more practical training for fighting beasts and team building, but there are also a lot of meditation courses. Total of eight classes every day ¨C four meditation classes, two combat training, and two team building sessions. For the first lesson, everyone gathered on the playground. On the huge playground, there are only four classes. This is because it wouldn¡¯t fit all the other classes using the playground. There are more props on the playground now, rotating crossbars, three-meter-wide and four-meter-high planks, and a runway full of obstacles. Before royal beasts were summoned, they lived in harsh environments. They have to go through several battles just to survive. After they were summoned by beast masters, their lifestyle changes. Now they lead a life of leisure, to be fed and to have a safe space to rest. Of course, the beasts will lose their natural fighting instincts. Battles are key to train royal beasts. An agile beast can jump three hundred times over the spinning crossbar, and run ten laps around the obstacle course. Powerful beasts climb planks and run with impact. Healing beasts bless and buff other beasts. The first training session came to an end, and they were unsummoned. The next class was meditation. Combining work and rest, the effect will be better. In the second meditation class, the teacher put two guides instead of one this time. Wei Feng was overjoyed when the blue light appeared in his brain again. He was like a miner mining with bare hands. The guide was like a shovel. With this blue light, the speed of breaking through fog barriers skyrockets. The second layer of fog is already cracking, and it will probably break in two days. The [Ruined Symbol] was activated last night, but Wei Feng didn¡¯t hurry to use it. He planned to break the second layer of fog, then use the symbols to break the third layer. In fact, Wei Feng could already summon his second royal beast ¨C his mental power has already reached that of an intermediate beast master. Moreover, he learnt the six-pointed-star symbol meant to summon greater royal beasts. He¡¯s just waiting for the second layer of fog to break. In the afternoon, after two meditation classes, the second layer of fog was already about to break. Wei Feng wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He took his beast to train on the playground. Yang Xin and Wang Xin were also there. Many students who lived in the dorms secretly came here to train their beasts. ¡°Roar!¡± A horned lion jumped from the high plank and let out a roar. The momentum of its body soared. Wei Feng looked at the horned lion and couldn¡¯t help feeling a little bad. At this moment, a prompt sounded in his mind. Ding! [NOTICE: [Ice Giant] has upgraded. It is a Third-Order Ice Giant.] [NOTICE: The second layer of fog has been broken through. Your spirit power has improved.] [NOTICE: A-Tier Forbidden Item [Shadow Twins] has been obtained!] CH 20 Chapter 20: The Fifth-Order Dragon Ape Wei Feng was stunned when he heard the prompt. Icy-blue light emitted from his Ice Giant¡¯s body like ripples ¨C it condensed into a single point and bust out instantly! It seems like his Ice Giant was buffed to the peak of Level 2 thanks to [Absolute Zero], and after several days of fighting and training, it leveled up to the third-order. Since the Ice Giant had upgraded to Level 3, its attributes improved greatly ¨C at the same time, thanks to [Power of Control], Wei Feng, too, received improvements in his own attributes, and the second layer of fog in his brain shattered into pieces. Wei Feng felt stronger. Since the second layer of fog was broken, his brain field expanded, thus improving his spirit power. However, there was something he wasn¡¯t so sure of. What about the A-Tier forbidden item? If the [Ruined Symbols] appeared when the first layer of fog was broken through, does this mean that the A-Tier forbidden item appeared after the second layer of fog broke? This can¡¯t be a coincidence. He wouldn¡¯t believe it for a single second. Now, he is sure that the system panels in his brain also have the power to control various situations. Which made another forbidden item appear in his brain¡¯s domain! It¡¯s terrifying and dangerous at the same time! If his brain is able to continue generating these forbidden items, his fate would be left up to god. Wei Feng was emotionless, however. He sat silently and watched his Ice Giant train, but his mind was immersed in his own brain. After the second layer of fog was broken, the area doubled in size, and his spirit power increased by 51. The forbidden item [Shadow Twins] floats about in his brain. It had a vague shape ¨C ghost-like, gray-black in color, intertwining with each other. The information about the forbidden item was presented. [Forbidden Item] Name: Shadow Twins Grade: A-Tier Type: Disposable Use: Create an opposite copy of an item. ¡­ This is a one-time use forbidden item. And the use is to copy an item ¨C the catch is that it is a direct opposite of that item. In other words, if Wei Feng summons his royal beast, and uses this forbidden item, then the beast will be the original beast¡¯s complete opposite. ¡°This is¡­¡± Wei Feng was confused. Complete opposite¡­ wouldn¡¯t that mean all of the attributes would be in the negatives? He shook his head. [Ruined Symbols] have been activated, and he wants to break more fog barriers. Wei Feng has been waiting for this moment. To utilise the [Ruined Symbols] to break through the third layer of fog! On the playground, Wei Feng sat silently, doing feats that other students aren¡¯t able to perform. Continuously attempting to break through fog barriers ¨C this isn¡¯t something a normal beast master would think about! Ten seconds?! A prompt sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s brain. Ding! [NOTICE: The third layer of fog has been broken. Your spirit power has been improved.] ¡­ Everything around him was changing. The flowers and plants that surround him sway with the wind ¨C the sound of the rustle of the leaves became particularly clear. That ghost wolf that was running extremely fast on the playground? In Wei Feng¡¯s perspective, it wasn¡¯t fast anymore. He could hear his heavy breaths, his pounding heart ¨C all of these sounds were ringing in his ear. Wei Feng felt like he was in a different world. ¡­ He sat silently on the playground until Yang Xin and Wang Xin were done with their beasts¡¯ training. Wei Feng got up and followed them back to the student dorms. It was silent that night. In the pitch-black darkness, Wei Feng opened his eyes and quietly left the dorm. Located in the west of the campus, a small artificial lake of about 200 square meters can be seen ¨C lush willow trees are scattered around the lake. In the summer, the wicker of the trees was particularly dense; like curtains. Only the chirping of insects and the gentle tides of the lake accompanied Wei Feng. Wei Feng stopped. He quietly stood there for 10 minutes, then began to draw up a summoning symbol. There are forty-five summoning symbols used in the six-pointed star array, and Wei Feng has long memorized them by heart. He combined and arranged them into a six-pointed star. This star is used to summon royal beasts above Level 3 and below Level 7. This stage is called the intermediate level ¨C effectively, he could be considered an intermediate beast master. When the star was taking shape, Wei Feng whispered to himself, ¡°Use [Shadow Twins].¡± A vague shape floated out of Wei Feng¡¯s body, merging with the six-pointed star. ¡°Bzz¡­¡± The star trembled, and the surrounding willow trees started to vibrate ¨C the moon-white pentagram was soon covered with a layer of gray-black. ¡°Roar!¡± A loud roar can be heard from inside the star, causing Wei Feng to frown. That roar was extremely loud. However, he wasn¡¯t worried about being discovered ¨C he had already successfully summoned a royal beast ¨C even if someone came to investigate, he would be long gone. Looking at the six-pointed star, Wei Feng watched carefully. He didn¡¯t care much for the original royal beast, but he was curious to see the what his [Shadow Twins] item would whip up for him. A direct opposite¡­ What kind of beast will it be? ¡°Roar!¡± Another roar sounded again ¨C louder than before. Wei Feng raised his eyebrows in shock. It sounded like a dragon! Did he summon a dragon? An icy radiance refracted from the star, and a tall figure stepped out. Wei Feng took a step back. It¡¯s a 4m tall ape, covered in scales and armor ¨C it looked very sturdy. It was as if¡­ it¡¯s a dragon ape! The grand aura that radiated from its body ¨C it was exactly like a dragon! Dragon Ape ¨C an ape with the blood of a dragon ¨C known for its extreme controlling power over beast, surpassing even that of giant dragons. Wei Feng was a little surprised reading about the beast. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Dragon Ape Level: 5 (Advanced) Attributes: None Strength: 1370 Agility: 830 Spirit Power: 875 Core Ability: [Source of Strength] ¨C The Dragon Ape is unparalleled in terms of strength ¨C every time it levels up, it gains an additional 20% increase in strength. [Absolute Rage] ¨C The dragon blood within the ape erupts, driving the beast into a frenzy! While in a frenzy, strength is increased by 200%, agility by 150%. Spirit power is reduced by 50%. ¡­ Wei Feng looked at the panel in disbelief. His [Power of Control] absorbed the power of his Dragon Ape, too. By summoning a powerful beast, he, too, became stronger. At this time, a prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: You have successfully summoned a Level 5 Dragon Ape!] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability of your Dragon Ape-[Source of Strength]!] CH 21 Chapter 21: Reverse Copy: Level 5 Dark Dragon! When he heard the prompt, Wei Feng felt that an unknown force granted him great power. The Dragon Ape has a total of two abilities, while Wei Feng gets to receive the benefit of one. His [Source of Strength] received a 20% increase in strength. With his entire body surging with strength, he feels that he could split a stone in half with a single punch. Wei Feng felt intoxicated with power. ¡­ The six-pointed star hasn¡¯t dissipated yet ¨C the gray-black light diffuses into the six-pointed star. Wei Feng watched the scene unfold before him, his dragon ape letting out a low roar. ¡°Crack!¡± Suddenly, a pitch-black hand emerged from the hexagram ¨C sharp nails drew power from its surroundings, sparks of electricity surging from the hexagram. A pair of pitch-black horns covered with veins protruded out the hexagram. A two-meter tall demon with horns and scales like a dragon stepped out of the hexagram. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Wei Feng¡¯s mouth was agape. The hexagram began to shrink, condensing into two lines. A gray-black hexagram was embedded into the demon¡¯s forehead, while a pale, bright, and white hexagram was embedded into the dragon ape¡¯s forehead. Ding! [NOTICE: [Shadow Twins] had been consumed. A reversed copy of [Dragon Ape] is successful.] [NOTICE: You have obtained Level 5 Royal Beast [Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow]] ¡­ Wei Feng: ¡°!!¡± It seems like Wei Feng misunderstood what ¡°opposite copy¡± was. The attributes of this demon weren¡¯t in the negatives ¨C in fact, it was outrageously high. Rather than opposite, it¡¯s clear this is a direct upgrade! ¡­ After the summoning, Wei Feng didn¡¯t stay long ¨C he unsummoned the beasts and circled around the lake before returning to the student dorms. On the way back, Wei Feng could feel that his footsteps were as light as a feather; he could jump more than three-meters-high in a single jump. He also hit a street light¡¯s pole and bent it, but he wasn¡¯t hurt. There was a disturbance in the teachers¡¯ dorm, but before they cpuld investigate, Wei Feng was already back in his dorm. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t sleep. His body was on fire ¨C his bones, his skin, his flesh, it was changing. His attributes ¨C strength, agility, spirit power ¨C they were all roughly equal to each other ¨C this meant he was well-rounded in terms of attributes, and he was slowly achieving a perfect evolution of his body and mind. The core ability of the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow is predictable ¨C increasing its agility by 20%. In a way, the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow is a direct opposite of the Dragon Ape, possessing an abnormally high amount of agility. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow [Dark Dragon Vein] Level: 5 [Intermediate] Attribute: Dark Strength: 830 Agility: 1370 Spirit Power: 875 Core Ability: [Source of Agility] ¨C Any increase in agility is increased by an additional 20% for each level up. [Absolute Speed] ¨C The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow enters a state of extreme speed, where it increases strength by 150% and agility by 200%. Spirit power is decreased by 50%. ¡­ In a way, the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow is an opposite of the Dragon Ape. The Dragon Ape¡¯s main power is strength, while the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow¡¯s main power is its agility. These two extremes made Wei Feng¡¯s strength and agility attributes almost equal to his spirit power. [Properties] Name: Wei Feng [The Strongest Beastmaster] Age: 16 Rank: Intermediate Beastmaster Strength: 81 (+296) Agility: 93 (+283) Spirit Power: 209 (+191) Power of Control [Intermediate] ¨C You receive 10% of your royal beast¡¯s attributes.

Royal Beasts: [Level 3 Ice Giant] [Level 5 Dragon Ape] [Level 5 Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow] ¡­ His strength stat is about 400, which is already around the strength of a Level 4 Royal Beast. Wei Feng can quite literally beat up all of his classmates¡¯ royal beasts. The next morning. Wei Feng didn¡¯t sleep at all; he was too excited. When it was dawn, the burning feeling in his body finally subsided. His hand crawled under his shirt and started to feel his stomach ¨C the neat, firm rows of abdominal muscles were as hard as stone. He jumped off his bed without a sound. Whenever he walks, he doesn¡¯t make a single sound ¨C the feeling in his body was indescribable. It was as if he awakened his inner Ren and Du1 ¨C he can become a martial arts artist! He washed up and went down to eat breakfast. He deliberately tried to walk slower, but his speed was that of wind. If he participated in a 100-meter sprint, he could set a new world record! When he arrived at the restaurant, Wei Feng¡¯s own appetite frightened him. He ate twelve steamed buns in one go, and he still feels hungry. But he was too embarrassed to continue eating, so he decided to buy more buns to eat later. ¡°Hey, boss! Give me another thirty buns, they are for my roommates!¡± ¡°You¡¯re too nice!¡± The boss was naturally happy he was able to sell so many buns. He put thirty-two buns in a big plastic bag for Wei Feng. The boss put an extra two buns inside. On his way back to the dorms, Wei Feng didn¡¯t stop eating. When he finally reached the dorms, there were only four buns left. He intentionally left them there for his dormmates. He finally understood why royal beasts are so keen on eating meat. You can easily fill your stomach with meat! Soft foods like steamed buns don¡¯t really fill your stomach. Back in his room, he put the plastic bag on the table. Wang Xin and Yang Xin looked at the giant plastic bag that only had four buns inside. ¡°Did they run out of plastic bags at the shop?¡± Yang Xin asked. There wasn¡¯t any answer ¨C Wei Feng had already ran to the bathroom and drank the water directly from the tap. In a single breath, Wei Feng drank at least five kilograms worth of water. It¡¯s hard to imagine how he could stomach forty buns and that much water! Wei Feng is astonished. His body changed ¨C he became stronger, and his metabolism is of another world. He could feel every cell in his body rhythmically moving. It¡¯s amazing. ¡­ Seven thirty. When he came to class, Wei Feng felt someone staring at him. Wei Feng turned his head and found that Zhang Xiyao was staring at him in confusion and shock. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°Ah, do you know what my current mental strength is?¡± ¡°Have you finally broken the first layer of fog in your brain?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°Well, tell me!¡± Sixty-one! 1 [t/n: Ren and Du are terms used in Chinese Medicine, where they are two of eight ¡°extraordinary¡± vessels found in the body. Ren is the front of the body, while Du is along the back of the body] CH 22 Chapter 22: The First Examination ¡°Sixty-one!¡± Zhang Xiyao¡¯s voice was clear, but you could hear she sounded helpless. She finally broke the first layer of fog in her brain last night, and hit a mental strength of 61. She was ecstatic as she thought she could finally snoop through Wei Feng¡¯s royal beast¡¯s information, and yet she still isn¡¯t able to. ¡°So¡­ how much is your mental strength?¡± Zhang Xiyao asked. Wei Feng smiled slightly and replied, ¡°Just a little more than you.¡± Zhang Xiyao pouted, clearly not believing him. Her eyes kept glancing at Wei Feng ¨C the more she looked, the more surprised she became. She could tell Wei Feng¡¯s body was very well-built, seeing him just sit in his chair, you could tell something is off about him. ¡­ ¡°Wei Feng!¡± When Liu Shuan arrived, he seemed very happy ¨C he quickly sat down and leaned towards Wei Feng, ¡°Wei Feng, my royal beast has finally hit Level 2, it¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°Wow! That¡¯s amazing! That¡¯s so quick too!¡± Wei Feng was indeed a little surprised. Although Liu Shuan¡¯s Shadow Leopard was a Level 1 [Intermediate] Royal Beast, he didn¡¯t expect it to hit Level 2 that fast. It seems that Liu Shuan was training his royal beasts every day whenever he returned home. ¡°Hehe.¡± Liu Shuan giggled to himself, then rubbed his hands together and whispered to Wei Feng, ¡°So, do you think the distance between me and Xiyao has narrowed?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so stupid!¡± Wei Feng glanced at Liu Shuan pathetically ¨C how have you still not given up yet? Wei Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Xiyao and was a little surprised. Her royal beast has already reached Level 3! [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Dark Warrior Level: 3 [Beginner] Attribute: Dark Strength: 207 (+50) Agility: 205 Spirit Power: 189 Core Ability: [Samurai Slash] ¨C The Dark Warrior has a talent in attacking ¨C each attack has a chance of dealing double or triple the original damage. Beast Armor: [Level 1 Meteorite Armor] ¨C Blocks any attack below 80 strength. [Level 1 Meteorite Katana] ¨C Breaks defense below 90 strength. Type: Rapidly Evolving ¡­ Looking back at Liu Shuan, Wei Feng just nodded. ¡°Indeed, maybe the distance between you and her is closing in after all.¡± Liu Shuan grinned confidently, ¡°Now that¡¯s a given! After I break the first layer of fog, I¡¯m gonna summon a Level 5 Royal Beast as my second summon, then wouldn¡¯t I be unstoppable?!¡± ¡°Uh huh!¡± Wei Feng just continued nodding. At eight o¡¯ clock, the teacher entered. To no one¡¯s surprise, he was followed by yet another transfer student. ¡°Hello. My name is Wei Wenwen. 16. My royal beasts are a Level 2 Giant Wolf and a Level 5 Flaming Eagle.¡± The new transfer student already completed her second summon? This made Wei Feng take a few more glances at the other party. This girl is different from Zhang Xiyao ¨C she had a more mature face. Beautiful. She had a tall figure; she was also slightly plump. ¡°Hmph! Show-off!¡± While Wei Feng was looking at Wei Wenwen, Zhang Xiyao snorted beside him. It was wise for Wei Feng to remain silent. ¡­ In the day¡¯s first beast training class, everyone was in high spirits. They seem motivated by all of the new transfer students, so all of them are training hard. The actual beast combat class has been delayed constantly, so every day is starting to get mundane. Train your beasts, meditate. Repeat. In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. All the students in the class have broken the first layer of fog in their brain, most have also completed their second summon. In the morning, the teacher arranged a summoning formation, so the weaker students are able to make their second summon. There were a total of 13 classmates which included Liu Shuan, whose grades were unsatisfactory ¨C all of them summoned Level 4 Royal Beasts. After finishing the summoning, the teacher announced, ¡°Every student who completed their second summon will step into the ranks of Intermediate Beast Masters. So, tomorrow, all of you will be admitted to the hospital for an assessment. Understand that only those who pass can stay. If you fail, you will graduate on the spot.¡± ¡°Haha!¡± The teacher laughed to himself. ¡°Of course, if you have the money, you can stay here regardless.¡± ¡°Phew.¡± Sighs of reliefs can be heard in the class. The teacher pressed his palms together, ¡°Even then, give your best tomorrow. You have to preserve the honor of Class 7!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The class replied in unison. Then, the teacher left. When he left, the captains of each team gathered their members. Because tomorrow isn¡¯t just an assessment. The first assessment is more of a formality ¨C what really matters if the freshman individual competition and the team competition. Since it is a competition, there will be rewards. The winner in the individual competition receives 100,000 yuan, and a set of Level 1 Royal Beast Gear. Meanwhile, the winners in the team competition receive 500,000 yuan and five bottles of AEC-04 potions. In order to get these rewards, Wei Feng is training every day ¨C not just for his beasts, but for himself too. His second royal beast [Dragon Ape] has long been revealed. After all, there isn¡¯t a point in hiding it. However, his [Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow] is still being kept hidden. Every night, Wei Feng takes it to the willow forest to train it by avoiding swinging willow branches ¨C it¡¯s the best ways to train agility-based royal beasts. In the afternoon, Wei Feng follows his group to train for four hours. The training mostly consists of team coordination to ensure everyone is on the same page. Evening. The team leader Wu Jiajia hosted a class dinner, and Zhao Ming and Wang Jiahao sponsored it. The restaurants around the college were packed to the brim with students. All the students were discussing about tomorrow¡¯s assessment and strategies. It¡¯s worth mentioning that in individual matches or team matches, you are prohibited from using Beast Armor. Night time. Wei Feng is still training with his [Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow]. ¡°Come on, Shadow! Go faster!¡± Wei Feng shouted to his royal beast, who was manoeuvring around the willow trees. Wei Feng named it Shadow. Its dark figure transformed into a shadow and it shuffled between the branches. Standing at just two meters, its smaller compared to other royal beasts above the third rank. Because of this, Shadow can weave between royal beasts easily with its agility. It¡¯s covered in dark dragon scales, and each dragon scale is matte black. In the dark, even if you pass by it, you might not even see it. ¡°Let go of me!!¡± A cry came from the willow forest. Wei Feng immediately stopped, and Shadow also stopped. At this time, the voice sounded again, ¡°You¡¯re hurting me! Let go!¡± Smack! CH 23 Chapter 23: Punch!! Smack! A crisp slap sounded in the willow forest. Then, there was an angry bellow, ¡°Stinky bitch! I spent so much money just for you ¨C and you¡¯re telling me I can¡¯t touch you?¡± ¡°You bastard!¡± A woman¡¯s angry voice shouted back. This voice triggered a sense of familiarity in Wei Feng. ¡°Oh! I see how it is.¡± The man snorted. ¡°So, you¡¯re telling me I¡¯m a bastard? But you let Wang Jiahao kiss you? I don¡¯t care. I¡¯ll touch you however I want, no matter what.¡± ¡°Get away from me!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng and Shadow silently creeped behind them. The girl was the new transfer student today ¨C Wei Wenwen. Her shirt has been torn, revealing her snow-white skin. Wei Feng didn¡¯t know who the boy was ¨C probably Class 5 or 6. ¡°Please! Somebody! Help, hel-¡° Wei Wenwen shouted for help, but before she could shout, the boy covered her mouth tightly. Wei Feng shook his head. Without their royal beasts, beast masters are too weak. Ordinary girls like her can¡¯t defend themselves against threats like these. ¡°Mmmph!¡± Wei Wenwen¡¯s shirt was completely torn. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t look anymore, and motioned Shadow to knock the boy out. ¡°Bonk!¡± With a swift hit, the boy fell to the ground in an instant. ¡°Huh¡­?¡± Wei Wenwen was taken aback ¨C she saw a shadow, and now Ma Feng is out cold. She looked around, and only saw wickers swaying and a figure disappearing. ¡­ Dawn. Wei Feng got up early. Now that his mental power has hit 448 points, he only needs two hours of sleep to feel awake. He ran around the playground twice and went back to wash up ¨C he then went to the bakery for breakfast. His breakfast is now steamed buns with beef. Ten buns with three catties of beef should keep the monster in his stomach quelled. He also bought some breakfast for Yang Xin and Wang Xin. On the way back, Wei Feng met Wang Jiahao and Wei Wenwen. It was his first time seeing an on-campus relationship. Judging by their intimacy, they must be a couple. Wang Jiahao waved to Wei Feng. He waved back. He didn¡¯t say anything extra. After he helped Wei Wenwen last night, he left immediately because he didn¡¯t want to get involved. He¡¯ll keep silent about it. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a hexagram lit up not far away. A giant tiger donning white and red fur suddenly jumped out ¨C its claws were flickering with a cold light and clawed towards Wang Jiahao. ¡°Look out!¡± Wei Feng shouted, and subconsciously pushed Wang Jiahao out of the way. He quickly clenched his fist and gave the tiger a big punch. ¡°Pow!¡± ¡°Ooowow!¡± The giant tiger flew back and whimpered. Wang Jiahao quickly summoned his royal beast, ¡°Wei Feng! Are you alright?¡± ¡°Wei Feng? Summon!¡± Wei Feng shook his head, his face pale. To be honest, that punch was instinctual. He never thought he would punch a royal beast. His arm trembled ¨C he couldn¡¯t control the adrenaline coursing through his body. Wei Feng was humiliated. Even though he was extremely strong, but he was afraid facing the beast. Fight-or-flight comes first in humans facing dangerous threats. Even if he was strong, he was weak in the face of danger. Strength doesn¡¯t mean he was experienced either. If Wei Feng was given a knife to hurt someone, he wouldn¡¯t be able to. On the flip side, even if he was weak, but had the experience of killing people, he could do it without blinking. In battle, the ability to react in the face of danger is important ¨C and clearly, Wei Feng was weak. He was only human twice; he isn¡¯t a god. ¡°Roar!¡± The giant tiger was subdued by Wang Jiahao¡¯s beast. The tiger¡¯s owner was nowhere to be seen ¨C must have abandoned the tiger. ¡°W-Wei Feng, thank you so much! If it weren¡¯t for you, I¡¯d be dead to that tiger¡¯s claws!¡± Wang Jiahao said gratefully. He didn¡¯t see Wei Feng punching that tiger square in its face. He thought Wei Feng simply charged at the tiger with all his strength. Even so, Wei Feng pondered to himself. How can the human body hold so much power? Wei Feng calmed down and evaluated, ¡°This was targeted. They didn¡¯t want to kill you ¨C they just wanted to cripple you, hurt you somehow.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Cripple?¡± Wang Jiahao turned pale. Wei Feng got up. ¡°Let¡¯s leave the big things to the grown-ups. A murderous beast at the entrance of the academy? This is a targeted attack! This isn¡¯t a small matter.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± Wang Jiahao nodded and followed Wei Feng. He sensed something was amiss as well. ¡­ Back in the dorm, Wei Feng washed his face and clenched his fist. That punch felt really good. That feeling of power ¨C like he could destroy anything ¨C it¡¯s amazing! No wonder people are obsessed with power ¨C they are obsessed with the feeling of destruction. To express this power ¨C it physically and mentally gratifies a person, and ignites that hidden desire within their heart. Have you lost your mind? Wei Feng shook his head. How could you even think of destroying the world? I¡¯m going crazy! Wei Feng brushed those thoughts away, and splashed his face with water. He changed his clothes, and the three walked to class while discussing today¡¯s assessment. Meanwhile. Ma Feng hid in his dorm. His face pales. Last night, he was knocked unconscious by a mysterious force in the forest. When he woke up, he happened to see Wang Jiahao and Wei Wenwen walking together closely. He saw red. Blinded with rage, he summoned his Level 4 Royal Beast, the [Fire-Patterned White Tiger]. He wanted to maul someone and disfigure them, cripple them. However, his target wasn¡¯t Wang Jiahao, but Wei Wenwen. He never thought someone could fling his car-sized beast into the air with his bare hands! Ma Feng was the only witness to Wei Feng¡¯s punch. He was stunned. When he came back to his senses, his royal beast was already restrained by Wang Jiahao. He needs to escape Yangtze now. The teachers will definitely find out he did it. After all, they have a database of who owns what beast. Neither could he afford to even offend Wang Jiahao, so he escaped. CH 24 Chapter 24: Preparation 8 o¡¯ clock in the morning. The playground was divided into sixteen 30¡Á30 areas ¨C students from each class were waiting around these areas. In Class 7¡¯s area, Wei Feng, Wu Jiajia, Wang Jiahao, and Zhang Xiyao stood at the front of their area. Their solo and group assessment will be conducted in the seventh and fourteenth area. And each assessment is monitored by the classes¡¯ respective teachers. The agenda of the assessment are as follow: drawing a summoning hexagram, summoning a Level 3 royal beast, and having a mental power greater than fifty. Every student has already achieved this ¨C this assessment is really just a formality. At 8:30, the assessment ended. Wei Feng¡¯s teacher only selected two of the weaker classmates to go through with the assessment. The same is true for other classes ¨C there is no need to examine and test the normal and outstanding students. At 9¡¯ o clock, the individual assessment began. Under their teacher¡¯s supervision, Wei Feng¡¯s team, Liu Shuan¡¯s team, and Wei Wenwen¡¯s team went to the 7th area to compete. The remaining two teams stayed in the 14th area. The same is true for other classes ¨C split the class into two to test In two areas. Class 7 and Class 4 entered the 7th area. The rules are simple ¨C everyone gets a turn, and the winner stays and continues to fight until a class loses all their students. The first knockout round. As the dean of the academy announced the start of the assessment, Liu Shuan was the first to compete. Liu Shuan volunteered to Wu Jiajia to be the first to fight. Class 4 sent in their student as well. Wei Feng analyzed the opponent and felt bad for Liu Shuan. Class 4 was going for a strong start, so they sent in their stronger student. That student¡¯s royal beasts were Level 3 and Level 6. Amongst other intermediate beast master, he can be considered a god! The round lasted 40 seconds from start to finish. Liu Shuan was defeated in a matter of seconds! Everyone couldn¡¯t even see what the enemy¡¯s beast¡¯s core ability was! After all, not everyone¡¯s mental strength was as high as Wei Feng. They couldn¡¯t just probe through someone¡¯s stats as freely as him. The second round, Class 7 sent in Wang Jiahao. In Class 7, Wang Jiahao and Zhang Xiyao are king ¨C Wei Feng couldn¡¯t compare to them. Wang Jiahao¡¯s royal beast was also Level 3 and Level 6 ¨C and his second beast was a demon named Berserker; power-focused beast. The sum of the demon¡¯s attributes are around one thousand and sixteen ¨C twice that of normal Level 5 Royal Beasts. Even if a Level 5 beast gets lucky with their numbers, it is impossible to fight a beast a higher level than itself. Especially for higher levelled royal beast ¨C the gap is just too huge. Wei Feng entered in the 7th round, and his opponent¡¯s royal beasts were Level 2 and Level 5. To no one¡¯s surprise, Wei Feng won. The first round lasted until after 12 o¡¯ clock. Eat, rest, and continue in the afternoon. The results of Class 7 were still good, nine people were still standing in the 7th area, while four people were still standing in the 14th area. In the afternoon, the assessment continued. In the second round, Zhang Xiyao beat the strongest student of Class 4. Zhang Xiyao¡¯s royal beasts were also Level 3 and Level 6, and they were both Dark Warriors. The dark warrior can wield weapons, but in this assessment, it can¡¯t equip Zhang Xiyao¡¯s beast armor ¨C it can only use an ordinary sword provided by the academy. It was sufficient anyways. What surprised everyone was her beasts¡¯ swordsmanship ¨C they looked professional. Even without their gear, they are still trained in swordsmanship! After Class 4¡¯s best student was beaten; it was only natural for their remaining five students to lose one after the other. In the 14th area, after they eliminated the three remaining students, the remaining eight people from Class 7 was qualified for a promotion. The fights in the 14th area ended early ¨C the four students who won in the first round from Class 7 were beaten by Class 5 in the second round ¨C looks like they kept their best students for the end. After the fights were over, the four winning classes were Class 1, Class 2, Class 5 and Class 7. And the eight students last standing of Class 7 were Zhang Xiyao, Wang Jiahao, Wu Jiajia, Wei Feng, Zhao Ming, Cheng Mo, Wei Wenwen, and Liu Weiwei. Wu Jiajia then went to draw lots and got a slip of paper ¨C Class 5. Tomorrow, they will fight against Class 5 ¨C and there are eleven remaining students in Class 5! That doesn¡¯t mean Class 5 was at the top of the leaderboard, though ¨C Class 1 had 21 students standing, they are the top class after all. ¡°Thank god, we didn¡¯t get Class 1,¡± Wu Jiajia sighed. ¡°It seems like we still have a fighting chance.¡± Wei Feng scourged for information on Class 1, and was stunned with what he had discovered. The stats of their beasts were scarier than that of any other class. Their first royal beasts were all Level 3, and their second beasts are not lower than Level 5 ¨C thirteen students have Level 6 beasts! It¡¯s scary! ¡°We¡¯re screwed. Thirteen people in their class have Level 6 beasts,¡± Wei Feng muttered. Everyone immediately turned to look at Wei Feng. They were more surprised at the fact that Wei Feng could read their beasts¡¯ information. This is insanity. Zhang Xiyao¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt, staring at Wei Feng. Wang Jiahao silently pushed his glasses¡¯ frame. ¡­ At the end of the day, students from all classes left the playground. The winning classes all shouted in celebration, while the losing classes simply walked away. Naturally, Class 7 went to celebrate. Their teacher even gave them words of encouragement. He was already very happy that Class 7 was able to win. After all, Class 6, Class 7, and Class 8 have always been considered the bottom-of-the-barrel. Funnily enough, Class 3 lost, but Class 7 remains victorious. After dinner, everyone went back to rest. Wei Feng did not return, but hitchhiked to Cross Street. After peering into other classes¡¯ beasts, he got worried. With his Advanced Level 5 [Dragon Ape] and its core ability, he can easily defeat a Level 6 beast. However, Wei Feng wanted the 1st place reward ¨C there was no way he could lose. Therefore, Wei Feng wanted to get his [Dragon Ape] to Level 6. His Dragon Ape hit the Advanced stage just five days ago, and has been training it hard ¨C but there¡¯s still a long way to Level 6. Wei Feng sneaked to Xingwu Colosseum, but he didn¡¯t intend for it to fight there and level up to Level 6. Even if it fought in the colosseum all night, it would be impossible for it to level up! It is challenging to level up high-levelled royal beasts. It¡¯s exceptionally difficult to level dragon type beasts up in particular. However, Wei Feng had Forbidden Items. This could be his ticket in strengthening his royal beasts and level them up. However, he didn¡¯t know how to activate his [Broken Symbols] ¨C seems like their only use is to penetrate fog barriers. However, he knew how to activate [Absolute Zero]. Energy. The energy found in ACE Medicine can activate [Absolute Zero] for the beasts to use! CH 25 Chapter 25: The Beast Arena Without Rules Wei Feng came to the colosseum to make money. The cheapest ACE Medicine costs 10000 yuan, but if you want to activate [Absolute Zero], you would need two or three! At present, Wei Feng only has 3400 yuan. If he used his Level 3 Ice Giant, he would have to fight in at least 10 matches. Wei Feng didn¡¯t have that time ¨C he planned to use his Dragon Ape. Before this, Wang Xin tried to persuade him to use the Dragon Ape, but Wei Feng declined. In the break room, Wang Xin still wore his iconic tuxedo, while holding a cocktail and sipping it. Seeing Wei Feng, he hurriedly put his glass down, ¡°You¡¯re here! I take it you finally want your Level 5 Dragon Ape to fight tonight?¡± ¡°Oh! Uh-!¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°Could you arrange a fight for it now? I¡¯m in a hurry.¡± Wang Xin smiled, ¡°Well, today¡¯s your lucky day! There¡¯s a fight available at the Central Beast Arena. Do you want to fight there?¡± Wei Feng¡¯s eyes lit up and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°How much is the reward?¡± Wang Xin raised a single finger. ¡°Ten thousand?¡± Wei Feng frowned. Wang Xin shook his head and downed his cocktail, ¡°One hundred thousand! And you get to claim 2% of the total prize pool.¡± ¡°That much?¡± Wei Feng was startled. He has never had that much money before. He calmed down immediately. ¡°There has to be a requirement to enter, right?¡± In this colosseum, the benefits are proportional to the risks. Sure enough, Wang Xin licked his lips and whispered in Wei Feng¡¯s ears, ¡°The catch is, it¡¯s a fight until the enemy beast falls.¡± ¡°¡­falls?¡± Wei Feng was surprised. In this colosseum, that could only mean ¡°death.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that guy on the platform is an intermediate beastmaster ¨C and only intermediate beastmasters are allowed to participate,¡± Wang Xin saw Wei Feng hesitate and explained. ¡°No beasts above Level 6 are allowed either.¡± Wang Xin knew Wei Feng¡¯s Dragon Ape had the strength to beat a Level 6 Royal Beast, so he always wanted it to fight. This moved Wei Feng. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll fight.¡± Wei Feng nodded. High risk, high reward. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange your fight right away!¡± Wang Xin seemed more excited than Wei Feng, and dragged him out the break room. Present time. On the Central Beast Arena¡¯s platform. A young man sat cross-legged silently. His name is Zhou Qing ¨C Level 3 member in Xingwu Colosseum, participated in four random beast fights and won all of them. Wei Feng followed Wang Xin out the elevator, and Wang Xin gave him a few heads-up. Even a colosseum with no rules holds several restrictions. No beast armor, no special weapons. Beast fighting is a form of entertainment, after all. A fight ending in a few seconds wouldn¡¯t be exciting. As usual, Wei Feng donned his disguise. Even in a place like this, privacy is a right ¨C after all, no one would be looking at the beastmasters. ¡­ Wei Feng walked straight to the beast fighting platform in the center, and cheers erupted around him. The Central Beast Arena was the audience¡¯s favourite to watch. There weren¡¯t any rules here. Very few people participated in this random beast fight in the Central Beast Arena ¨C unless they are desperate for money. After all, you are practically exchanging your beast for money ¨C even if you are confident in your own beast, you will inevitably encounter a stronger opponent. There¡¯s always a greater mountain. He was strangely calm when he stepped onto the platform. Wang Xin muttered about his opponent¡¯s strategy to Wei Feng. He was ruthless, extremely strong. He will do whatever it takes to win. This arena was just like home for someone as ruthless as him. This was why he participated in four random beast fights and won them all. Strategic use of your royal beasts give you an overwhelming advantage! ¡°Ladies and gentlemen ¨C your long-awaited, no-rules beast fight has officially begun!¡± ¡­ With the loud voice of the announcer, the atmosphere reached its annex. Zhou Qing gave Wei Feng a wicked smile. ¡°Summon your beasts!¡± The loud voice sounded. Wei Feng drew his summoning symbols, and summoned his Ice Giant and Dragon Ape. Zhou Qing slowly drew his summoning symbol while staring at Wei Feng. A flash of confusion washed over his face. It was obvious that Zhou Wing tried to scourge through his brain for his beasts¡¯ stats, and he was stunned that he couldn¡¯t. Wei Feng smirked and peered at Zhou Qing¡¯s beast information. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Akainu (or, red dog) Level: Level 6 [Intemediate] Attribute: Fire Strength: 1660 Agility: 1530 Spirit Power: 1602 Core Ability: [Boiling Blood] ¨C In combat, +600 strength. [Desperate Bite] ¨C Akainu bites in three quick successions, each dealing 50% of his strength value. ¡­ Royal Beast: Troll Level: Level 3 [Advanced] Attribute: None Strength: 210 Agility: 185 Spirit Power: 170 Core Ability: [Giant¡¯s Strength] ¨C The troll surges with power, increasing his strength by 50%. ¡­ The strength of the enemy¡¯s beast is dangerous. Most importantly, Zhou Qing had the experienced ¨C he was a far greater threat. He went through four beast fights, he can¡¯t win! ¡°Attack!¡± Wei Feng said in a low voice. The reason why the Dragon Ape can fight Level 6 beasts is because of its [Absolute Fury], but it can only maintain this ability for three minutes. If he doesn¡¯t win in three minutes, he will lose. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape roared, and wisps of white light surrounded his body. Dazzling. With [Absolute Rage], its strength is increased to 2740. It can fight Akainu now! ¡°Boom!¡± The Dragon Ape jumped and smashed its huge fist ¨C cracks developed on the stone surface of the arena. ¡°Akainu! Don¡¯t fight it! Survive!¡± Zhou Qing saw through Wei Feng¡¯s plan, and immediately ordered its beast to change its course of plan. Wei Feng frowned. When in a state of rage, the Dragon Ape¡¯s agility isn¡¯t as great as Akainu ¨C if Akainu can drag the fight on long enough, it can win. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape roared again ¨C reducing its spirit power by half ¨C when spirit power and strength have a great difference, the royal beast will fall into a state of blinded rage. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Crash!¡± Akainu dodged Dragon Ape¡¯s attacks easily. ¡°Bark! Bark!¡± Wei Feng noticed Akainu was activating its core ability. [Boiling Blood]! Wei Feng immediately ordered the Dragon Ape to stop attacking. Fortunately, it could still hear Wei Feng¡¯s command. Wei Feng ordered his Dragon Ape to charge at Akainu. ¡°Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!¡± CH 26 Chapter 26: Victorious Reward The Dragon Ape raised its huge fist towards Akainu, then taunted Akainu! ¡°Bark bark bark!¡± Akainu went crazy, and pounced on the Dragon Ape. Isn¡¯t it humiliating to be taunted by a Level 5 beast as a Level 6 beast? The faint scent of the Dragon Ape drove the Akainu crazy. The Akainu has to obey its master. But after being taunted, Akainu was blinded with rage. Its blood was boiling. It must kill whoever was upsetting it. ¡­ ¡°Roar!¡± When the Dragon Ape saw Akainu pounce, it raised its fist to punch it square in the face. Zhou Qing¡¯s shouting was futile; it fell to deaf ears. He stepped forward. Zhou Qing took a handful of white powder and flinged it towards the Dragon Ape. ¡°Fuck!¡± Wei Feng swore. Of course, Zhou Qing would play dirty. The Dragon Ape tried to fan the powder away ¨C and Akainu took the opportunity to bite the Dragon Ape in the arm. ¡°Roar!¡± It let out a loud roar, and smashed its left fist on Akainu¡¯s head while swaying its right arm up and down. Smash! Smash! Crash! Boom! Akainu underestimated the sheer power of Dragon Ape ¨C it wanted to keep a firm grip, but its punches made its head buzz. ¡°Bark!¡± Akainu unclenched, then bit at the Dragon Ape¡¯s calf ¨C Zhou Qing ran forward and threw more powder at the Dragon Ape. ¡°God damn it!¡± Wei Feng ran in too. His bare hands did nothing to hinder Akainu¡¯s bite. Wei Feng looked up hopelessly, and noticed Akainu¡¯s large testicles. ¡°Bark!¡± Akainu continued biting at the Dragon Ape¡¯s calf ¨C in its current posture, it revealed its manhood. Akainu was five meters long and three meters tall ¨C its testicles were of great size, hanging two meters of the ground and swaying with its movements. With no hesitation, Wei Feng leapt and kicked its testicles. Wei Feng¡¯s strength was 452, stronger than that of a Level 4 Power-type beast. This kick did considerable damage. ¡°Bark!¡± That kick definitely did considerable damage ¨C its testicles flung backwards and smacked Akainu¡¯s back. ¡°Woo¡­ Oh¡­ Woo¡­¡± Akainu whimpered. As soon as it ungripped, the Dragon Ape grabbed the dog¡¯s head with its big hands. ¡°Roar!¡± With a loud roar, it locked its legs around the dog¡¯s neck, with its arms pressing on the dog¡¯s head. It wanted to break its neck! Zhou Qing was petrified ¨C he didn¡¯t expect it to go this way. His best beast bested in combat¡­ Akainu. Utterly humiliated by the other party. I can¡¯t accept this. Zhou Qing leapt forward and sprinkled more powder on the Dragon Ape¡¯s calf to free Akainu of its grip. ¡°Roar!¡± The powder was corrosive ¨C Dragon Ape was trembling. But its grip didn¡¯t loosen, instead, it got tighter. Zhou Qing got desperate and took out a bottle of red liquid. Before he could even open it, Wei Feng rushed over. Zhou Qing quickly unsheathed a dagger, ¡°Don¡¯t play with me!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Before he could speak again, Wei Feng kicked him swiftly. ¡°What- your feet, how? I¡­¡± Zhou Qing fainted. It was almost three minutes. Akainu continued to struggle, and you could see the veins popping out of Dragon Ape¡¯s arms. Wei Feng had to hurry. Meanwhile, the Troll was wrestling with the Ice Giant. Wei Feng grabbed the Troll¡¯s right leg and dragged it with him. The audience stared as Wei Feng used the Troll as a hammer to smash Akainu to a pulp. The crowd erupted into cheers. Smash! Bang! Crash! ¡­ Wei Feng kept smashing at Akainu until there was a pain in his right shoulder. He didn¡¯t stop. He continued smashing the Troll onto Akainu. ¡°End it.¡± With his master¡¯s green light, and Akainu weakened, the Dragon Ape twisted Akainu¡¯s neck. The crowd went silent. The Dragon Ape laid weakly on the ground, its chest heaving, muscles worn out. After [Absolute Rage] ends, his Dragon Ape will be out of commission for four hours. And the wound on its right arm kept gushing with blood ¨C the scene was gruesome. Wei Feng was petrified. He swore to never participate in beast fighting ever again. He would regret it if he did it again. Royal beasts shouldn¡¯t die for the entertainment of the general public. ¡­ ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, your winner!¡± The announcer announced, indicating the end of the beast fight. Wei Feng glanced at Zhou Qing¡¯s body lying on the ground and sighed. His two royal beasts are now dead. In this Central Beast Arena, there is always a side that loses. Zhou Qing¡¯s victory streak finally ended. ¡­ He unsummoned his beasts and walked away from the platform. His right shoulder was injured ¨C upon inspecting, his entire right shoulder was swollen! Wang Xin came to him with a smile and congratulated him, but Wei Feng felt no joy. This sum of money is way too big. If his Dragon Ape couldn¡¯t recover or is crippled, he¡¯s done for. Would [Absolute Zero] be able to heal beasts too? In the elevator alone, Wei Feng asked Wang Xin his winnings. Wang Xin expected the question and gestured to Wei Feng, ¡°As promised, a hundred thousand yuan, and an additional 2% from the prize pool! You¡¯ll get more than 378,000 yuan!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Wei Feng scoffed to himself. So, his royal beast is worth 378,000 yuan. Wei Feng took 100,000 yuan from the terminal wordlessly and hid it in a black plastic bag and ran out the Colosseum. Outside the colosseum, Wei Feng stopped a car and requested to hitchhike to the nearest pharmacy. Wei Feng thanked the driver and ran into the pharmacy ¨C he took out 50,000 yuan and put it on the counter, ¡°Give me five bottles of ACE-10 medicine. Quickly!¡± The cashier was stunned. He checked the bank notes and took out five bottles of medicine. Wei Feng took it and ran. The cashier wanted to say something ¨C he could tell Wei Feng¡¯s royal beast was injured. He wanted to tell him that ACE Medicine can¡¯t cure injuries of royal beasts. But Wei Feng was already gone. Wei Feng then came to a nearby restaurant. It had private rooms. Wei Feng rushed in, ¡°Get me a private room with your signature dishes ¨C but take your time. I need to rest. Do not disturb me.¡± Wei Feng took out a thousand yuan and placed it on the counter. The cashier wordlessly took the money and gave him a key card. Wei Feng walked upstairs to the private rooms. Wei Feng immediately locked the door and stripped himself of his shirt ¨C he then took the medicine and poured its contents directly on the snowflake pattern on his left chest. Sizzle, sizzle. Like hot water on ice, the snowflake pattern changed color. Wei Feng took out another bottle and continued to pour. Sizzle! Sizzle! The snowflake turned red. Wei Feng continued to pour the other bottles. Sizzle¡­ And a burst of white smoke emerged from his body ¨C the snowflake pattern of [Absolute Zero] was molten hot, becoming extremely red. A prompt sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s brain. Ding! [NOTICE: [Absolute Zero]¡¯s activation condition has been reached.] CH 27 Chapter 27: Level 6 ¨C Power Courses Through My Blood Looks like it worked. Wei Feng guessed wrongly ¨C he needed five bottles to activate it. The snowflake pattern on his chest turned crimson, but it wasn¡¯t hot anymore. Wei Feng pushed the table aside and hurriedly summon his Dragon Ape. The Dragon Ape was weak and lying in a pool of blood, unable to move. Wei Feng pressed the Dragon Ape¡¯s pattern on its forehead. Red rays of light emitted from Wei Feng¡¯s tattoo. The crimson light coursed through Wei Feng¡¯s arm onto the tattoo on the Dragon Ape¡¯s forehead. And it infused into its body. The snowflake gradually changed its colour. And the Dragon Ape¡¯s body was also changing. Its chest vibrated slowly, and gradually, you could see its heartbeat was strong and thumping like a big drum. Its disfigured flesh and blood merged like dancing lovers. Wei Feng stood there for two full hours. He watched his Dragon Ape as it rose from near-death to life. Its wounds were healed. Its biceps only got larger. The white snowflake on Wei Feng¡¯s chest turned slightly dark too. Looks like you need five ACE-10 Medicine to activate [Absolute Zero]. ¡°Unsummon!¡± Wei Feng sighed in relief and unsummoned his beast when he saw no more energy was being transmitted to his Dragon Ape. His Dragon Ape was still in deep sleep, but it was transforming. Wei Feng sat on the floor and rested while rubbing his right shoulder. It was swelling. Beep! Ding! [NOTICE: Your Dragon Ape has levelled up to Level 6.] [NOTICE: A new core ability [Field of Power] was unlocked.] [NOTICE: [Absolute Zero] has weakened. All attributes are now increased by 3 every 24 hours.] ¡­ Wei Feng summoned his Dragon Ape and watched it opened its eyes. He quickly unsummoned it again. The space in this room is too small for it. He didn¡¯t want to pay for the damages. Sigh. Wei Feng finally smiled. He healed his Dragon Ape, and also got it to Level 6. He has to celebrate. He picked up the intercom by the door, and smiled, ¡°Boss! I¡¯m ready for my meals.¡± ¡­ Wei Feng ordered eight signature dishes and four pounds of rice. Naturally, because he shares attributes with his royal beast, his attributes skyrocketed in value, and his appetite also increased. After devouring everything, Wei Feng rested on the chair and looked at his Dragon Ape¡¯s new ability. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Dragon Ape [Light Dragon¡¯s Vein] Level: Level 6 [Intermediate] Attribute: Light Strength: 2820 (+282) Agility: 1850 (+185) Spirit Power: 1910 (+191) Bloodline¡¯s Blessing: All stats are increased by an additional 10%. Core Ability: [Source of Strength] ¨C The Dragon Ape is unparalleled in strength. His strength stat is increased by 20% for each level up. [Absolute Rage] ¨C The Dragon Ape enters a state of rage. Its strength is increased by 200%, agility is increased by 150%, and spirit power is decreased by 50%. [Field of Power] ¨C The Dragon Ape surges with power, and forms a 40¡Á40 area centred on it. In the field, other beasts will be suppressed with gravity equal to the Dragon Ape¡¯s strength, multiplied by 2. ¡­ ¡°This is¡­¡± Wei Feng was speechless. This new ability is crazy! With this gravity field, wouldn¡¯t this mean his Dragon Ape is unbeatable? Moreover, Bloodline¡¯s Blessing is the Dragon Ape¡¯s new attribute. And this increases all stats by 10%! Its strength has already exceeded 3000! ¡°Wait. Doesn¡¯t this mean¡­¡± Wei Feng was hit by a revelation. He opened his own panel and smiled. [Properties Panel] Name: Wei Feng [Strongest Beast-Master System] Age: 16 Rank: Intermediate Beastmaster Strength: 139 (+469) Agility: 142 (+312) Spirit Power: 261 (+314) [Power of Control ¨C Intermediate]: You share 10% of all attributes of your royal beasts. Forbidden Items: S-Tier [Absolute Zero] ¨C All stats +3 every 24 hours. C-Tier [Ruined Symbols] ¨C Inactive. Core Abilities: [Hardened Skin] ¨C Shared with [Ice Giant], you can resist attacks no greater than 225 strength. [Source of Power] ¨C Shared with [Dragon Ape], increase your strength by 20%. [Source of Agility] ¨C Shared with [Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow], increase your agility by 20%. Royal Beasts: [Level 3 Ice Giant] [Level 6 Dragon Ape] [Level 5 Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow] ¡­ His strength was that of a Level 5 Royal Beast. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but wonder what would happen if he summoned more royal beasts ¨C wouldn¡¯t that mean he would become extremely powerful? His current attributes had already exceeded most high-level beastmasters, and he is perfectly capable of summoning high-level beasts. In addition, Wei Feng had already learnt how to draw a heptagram. However, Wei Feng learnt his lesson from his previous summons. Last time, even though he had high spirit power, without the auxiliary formation, he still couldn¡¯t summon a Level 6 beast, but others could. This means that the auxiliary formation is important in beast summoning. Moreover, different levels of beasts require different auxiliary formations ¨C the auxiliary formations for a heptagram requires thousands of summoning symbols to form. Wei Feng doesn¡¯t have the time to form one. Therefore, he can only dream of his future strength. ¡­ 1 o¡¯ clock in the morning. Wei Feng returned to the academy and took his Dragon Ape to the playground. He can¡¯t sleep. There are also other students training their beasts on the playground. Wei Feng let the Dragon Ape get used to its newfound strength, and unsummoned it. Wei Feng went back to the dorm and laid on the bed and thought about his day. He unknowingly fell asleep. Next morning. Wei Feng slept for a total of four hours and was the first to wake up. He took a shower and went to the Royal Beast Store. He bought ten bags of dried meat and walked towards the willow forest. Every morning, he feeds his royal beasts here. He doesn¡¯t want his beasts to be discovered. Ten bags of dried meat is equal to 50 catties, and it costs 1500 yuan. This is only enough for three days. Before this, his Dragon Ape ate three bags worth of dried meat a day, but now that it hit Level 6, its appetite definitely increased. Wei Feng had extra just in case. Wei Feng felt helpless when his Dragon Ape stopped at five bags of dried meat. That¡¯s 25 pounds worth of meat! 750 yuan just for breakfast. In addition to his other royal beasts, that¡¯s around 1000 yuan for a meal. No wonder some advanced beastmasters can¡¯t afford to keep their own beasts, the variable costs are too high. He was packing up and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a ¡°plop!¡± Wei Feng looked up and saw someone had fallen into the lake. CH 28 Chapter 28: The Motive Of The Transfer Students Wei Feng recognised who it was. It was Wei Wenwen! Seems like she frequents the willow forest. Wang Jiahao was there too, and he took off his shirt and shoes, ready to jump into the lake to save people. Wei Feng shook his head. Wei Wenwen has Wang Jiahao wrapped around her fingers. He didn¡¯t want to watch a lovers¡¯ quarrel. Wei Feng was about to leave when he heard another ¡°plop!¡± Wang Jiahao cried out, ¡°Help me! I can¡¯t swim!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ You can¡¯t swim and yet you want to save people? Wei Feng turned back around to save them, but saw that Wei Wenwen was dragging Wang Jiahao back ashore. Oh wow. These two are insufferable. Leaving the forest, Wei Feng saw that it was still early, and walked out of the academy. Now that he has the money, he wanted to buy himself a cell phone. There is one for sale opposite the campus. Wei Feng took his student ID and money, and walked into the store. A clerk with a professional suit and delicate, supple makeup immediately greeted him, ¡°Mr. Handsome! Are you buying a phone? Our store is new. We-¡° ¡°I want this one!¡± Wei Feng said. ¡°Oh?¡± The clerk was stunned. ¡°You really do have a lively personality, don¡¯t you? Ha ha!¡± After five minutes of entering a store, he came out with a mobile phone. OOPP¡¯s latest model, equipped with a touch screen, priced at 5,999 yuan. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t wait to use it. He logged onto the college network and entered his credentials. He needed to choose a username, and wrote: Handsome Fengfeng. After setting a username, he logged onto the college network. A box popped up, notifying everyone that a user called Handsome Fengfeng joined the college community, and everyone warmly welcomed him. Wei Feng: ¡­ Fortunately, there wasn¡¯t many people online at this hour. Wei Feng checked the community posts. He found some really interesting stuff. Some people were already speculating the motive of the transfer students transferring here. Some people say that Yangtze obtained a strain of royal beast that had surpassed Level 10, and these transfer students are aiming for it. Some say they are here for the S-Tier Forbidden Item, but it¡¯s gone missing ¨C some say it¡¯s no longer in Yangtze. Wei Feng kept reading. Since his mental strength exceeded 400, his perception and memory surpass most ordinary people. He could complete reading a book with a few glances; he can listen to sounds a hundred meters away. ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­¡± Wei Feng was intrigued ¨C although the anonymous post was confusing, it caught his attention. Because this message mentions an ability where you can share attributes with your beasts. Isn¡¯t that [Power of Control]? Some transfer students are looking for that ability too. But nobody believed that anonymous poster ¨C it was impossible, there¡¯s no way an ability like that can exist. Wei Feng clicked on the anonymous profile, but he needed to request access. He exited the app, and put his phone in his pocket. The identity of this anonymous poster isn¡¯t hard to guess ¨C it¡¯s definitely one of the transfer students. If it really was a transfer student, then the source must be credible. After all, the aforementioned ability ¨C he has it. Not only that, an S-Tier Forbidden Item was in his possession. This is crazy. Back in the dorm, Yang Xin and Wang Xin just got up. Waiting for the two of them to wash up, the three of them slowly walked to the playground. The assessment continues today. At 8 o¡¯ clock, nearly everyone was present. Nearly everyone. Among the dozens of students with Level 6 Royal Beasts, only three were present. And the size of some classes has considerably reduced. To answer his suspicions, Zhang Xiyao came over and whispered, ¡°There is news that that thing is no longer in Yangtze. Many of the transfer students left earlier today, and I¡¯m leaving later in the afternoon.¡± ¡°So sudden?¡± Wei Feng was surprised. But who broke the news? In other words, that would mean they aren¡¯t searching for the S-Tier Forbidden Item. Zhang Xiyao chuckled and shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s not a sudden decision. Yangtze is too small, and there aren¡¯t that many resources here ¨C if it weren¡¯t for that, we wouldn¡¯t have come here in the first place.¡± Through other people¡¯s eyes, he¡¯s just a small-town boy ¨C he wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the top. There are plenty of other people like him in the big city. However, Zhang Xiyao added, ¡°Feng, you have great talent ¨C instead of being buried in this small city, why don¡¯t you go to Haicheng?¡± Wei Feng hesistated, then nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll go. But not now. If I decide to leave this town, I¡¯ll find you.¡± Zhang Xiyao smiled lightly, ¡°So you made your choice!¡± ¡°I promise you!¡± ¡­ Nine thirty, the assessment begins. The eleven people from Class 5 has been reduced to eight. In Wei Feng¡¯s third round, the opponent¡¯s royal beast was a Level 3 and Level 5 beast. Wei Feng summoned his Dragon Ape, and it simply flicked them away easily. In the end, Wei Wenwen, Liu Weiwei, Wu Jiajia, and Cheng Mo lost. Wei Feng, Wang Jiahao, Zhang Xiyao, and Zhao Ming moved on to the final round against Class 1. After Class 1 lost most of its students, only five people are left, including three classmates with Level 6 Royal Beast. Lunch break. Wang Jiahao slipped Wei Feng something. Wang Jiahao was going to leave too, but told Wei Feng what they came here for. Turns out, that refers to [Power of Control]. However, Wang Jiahao wasn¡¯t sure on the details of the ability ¨C he didn¡¯t know whether or not he could share attributes with his royal beast. He thinks that there¡¯s more to the ability. In the library, Wei Feng was studying Forbidden Items. Zhang Xiyao found him again to bid him farewell. Zhang Xiyao didn¡¯t come to Yangtze alone ¨C she had no say in anything and had to leave with her family. The two added each other¡¯s contacts on their phones, and Zhang Xiyao gave Wei Feng a letter before leaving. Wei Feng sat down in the library and just sighed. What is wrong with these people¡­ Nobody found what they were looking for. It¡¯s an established system ¨C a hivemind. If somebody says that the item is no longer in Yangtze, then they will all leave one-by-one. How frustrating! CH 29 Chapter 29: Stalked In the afternoon. Now that Wang Jiahao and Zhang Xiyao are gone, only Zhao Ming and Wei Feng are left standing in Class 7. Obviously, the students who were spectating lost interest. Zhao Ming promised to obtain victory for Class 7, but lost his first match. Among the three remaining students in Class 1, a student with a Level 6 beast planned to take the 1st place reward before leaving the city. His plan was thwarted, however ¨C Wei Feng only needed to summon his Dragon Ape and swiped across the field, defeating three beasts at once and won the 1st place prize without lifting a finger. A reward of 100,000 yuan and a set of Royal Beast Armor is the prize. However, the academy said it was only available tomorrow. They also announced the cancellation of the group assessment after the individual assessment was held. In the evening, some classmates left the academy. While Wei Feng was training on the playground, he saw many students leaving with their luggage. This sparked curiosity in him. So, who was the one who leaked the news? And why did everyone blindly trust the messenger? The moment the news came, they all left. This is insane. Eight o¡¯ clock in the evening, Wei Feng returned to the Colosseum. He wasn¡¯t there for beast fighting, though. There is still 270,000 yuan remaining in his account ¨C the membership card of the Colosseum is only for internal transactions, so Wei Feng wanted to apply for a personal credit card and transfer the money there. At the Colosseum: When Wei Feng entered, he could sense eyes on him. He secretly paid attention to their gaze. When withdrawing his money at the terminal, Wei Feng noticed more eyes on him. They were trying to stay hidden, but Wei Feng¡¯s spirit power was far superior compared to any of them ¨C he can sense them. Wei Feng tried to guess their motive. Was it for his money? Wei Feng quickly left the Colosseum with his money. Glancing at the guide mirror on the crossroads, Wei Feng saw three men-in-black behind him. Sure enough, he was being stalked. Wei Feng slowly accelerated his pace ¨C the moment he turned a corner, he bolted. Wei Feng was as fast as a Level 5 Royal Beast, when he ran, he left the three men-in-black in dust. He ran past several streets, and darted into a shop. Peering through the window, he could see a woman in a black trench coat running past ¨C she wasn¡¯t slow. He was about to sneak out the store, but another woman in black ran past, just slightly slower than the previous woman. ¡°That many? Just for me?¡± Wei Feng sneered. A clear female voice sounded behind him, ¡°Young man, we¡¯re a women¡¯s clothing store here ¨C are you here to buy something for your girlfriend?¡± ¡°Shit.¡± Only then did Wei Feng notice that the shop he hid in was a Women¡¯s Lingerie store. Next to him, a row of sexy panties. He didn¡¯t realise he entered such a store. Wei Feng hid his embarrassment and quickly left the store and disappeared into the night. 20 minutes later, Wei Feng hid behind a flowerbed by the academy gate. He saw two men-in-black just waiting outside the gate. They were shrouded in darkness ¨C if you don¡¯t look closely, you wouldn¡¯t be able to see them. Wei Feng was cautious ¨C he was afraid they would find out he was a student ¨C now, they were really waiting for him at the gate of the academy. ¡°God damn it.¡± Wei Feng exhaled. He didn¡¯t want to hurt them either. But these guys were stalking him, and he didn¡¯t want to hide anymore. They¡¯re still human, after all. Nothing to be scared of. Don¡¯t be reckless, Wei Feng. He hid himself and started to summon his Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow. He¡¯s leaving them all to it. Wei Feng hid himself, and his beast silently approached the two men-in-black. It happened in a flash ¨C it then returned to the flowerbed to Wei Feng. Muffled struggles, and a few flowers swaying in the flowerbed. His beast then came back with another man-in-black. He couldn¡¯t believe there were more than two waiting for him. ¡°My god.¡± ¡­ Inside a hotel, 5th floor. Wei Feng tied one of the men to a chair, and sealed his mouth with duct tape. He was waiting for him to wake up. In case the man was carrying a tracker, Wei Feng ordered his beast to throw out all of the man¡¯s clothes far away ¨C now, he¡¯s only donning a pair of boxers. About half an hour passed, and the man woke up. ¡°Urgh¡­¡± He wriggled a bit, but found that his hands and feet were tied tightly to a chair, his mouth sealed with duct tape. Their target was sitting right in front of him. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to interrogate people, and I don¡¯t want to hurt you,¡± Wei Feng said. ¡°You better cooperate.¡± Wei Feng peered at the man. The man remained silent. ¡°Very well. Then, I won¡¯t be merciful.¡± Wei Feng then stood up. The man stared at Wei Feng in horror, then tried pleading with Wei Feng, ¡°Uuumph! Mmmph!¡± Wei Feng ignored him, and picked up a fruit knife. ¡°Make it quick.¡± His Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow then grabbed the fruit knife from Wei Feng¡¯s hands, and creeped behind the man. ¡°Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!¡± The man panicked, but Wei Feng was indifferent. Slash! The man was stabbed in his lower left back. ¡°Uumph!¡± The fruit knife was embedded in him, and the beast twisted it. After five seconds, Wei Feng gestured his hand to stop his beast. The man was drenched in cold sweat. ¡°So, are you going to say anything?¡± Wei Feng threatened him again. ¡°Mmm! Mmm!¡± ¡°Mmm!¡± The man whimpered and thrashed desperately, and the meaning was obvious. ¡°Oh, I see,¡± Wei Feng pretended to not understand him. ¡°You forced my hand.¡± He gestured his hand again, and this time, the knife plunged straight into the man¡¯s right abdomen. The man¡¯s eyes were blood-red ¨C filled with fear and despair. Wei Feng then acted surprised, and slapped his hand on his forehead, ¡°Oh! Silly me. I forgot to remove the tape on your mouth.¡± CH 30 Chapter 30: Leaving The man was about to cry. What a glorious scene. In his eyes, Wei Feng was Satan himself ¨C were teenagers these days that scary? The moment the tape was torn away, the man stuttered desperately, ¡°I-It was Zhou Qing! He asked us to f-follow you! He gave us fifty thousand yuan to cripple your arms forever!¡± ¡°How many of you are there?¡± ¡°Three! Just three. Please, some of them were squatting behind the tree!¡± ¡°Really now.¡± Wei Feng frowned. This frightened the man, and he cried, ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth! Please! If you find out I¡¯m lying, you can cut my penis off!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Well, he¡¯s definitely not lying then. Seems like there were more people after him than just Zhou Qing. Obviously, the women chasing him were a little more dangerous. ¡°Okay. I believe you.¡± Wei Feng then muttered, ¡°I¡¯ll call an ambulance ¨C you won¡¯t die today.¡± ¡°Thank you! Thank you-¡° Slam! Wei Feng struck him in the neck, causing him to lose consciousness. Wei Feng unsummoned his beast and left the hotel. Back in the dorm, Wang Xin and Yang Xin were still awake. They left supper for Wei Feng, and they chatted. From what they were saying, Wei Feng was put on alert. Wei Feng didn¡¯t show he was alert, though. After supper, he laid on his bed and rested. Night. Wei Feng wasn¡¯t sleepy ¨C he was thinking about what to do next. He didn¡¯t want to stay in Yangtze anymore. The teaching was a bit strange here ¨C training your beast yourself is way more useful, but the auxiliary formations provided here is somewhat useful at least. But when Wang Jiahao left, he told Wei Feng that in big cities, you could buy auxiliary formations for money. There really isn¡¯t anything left for him in Yangtze. He then took out the letter Zhang Xiyao left him ¨C it was just two lines of neat and petite handwriting. I know you have the S-Tier Forbidden Item. Protect it. Don¡¯t tell anybody about it. And pretend that I don¡¯t know about it either. You need to become stronger. Wei Feng: ¡­ Dawn. Seven thirty. Wei Feng was at the dean¡¯s office. ¡°Wei Feng, think about it carefully! The academy provided so much for the students ¨C and now we¡¯re short on funds. Shouldn¡¯t you, as a member of the academy, contribute?¡± The dean said earnestly. Wei Feng was stunned. In other words, the dean wanted Wei Feng to repay his debts! This is ridiculous! Wei Feng replied, ¡°Dean, you should know I come from a poor family ¨C I borrow money from my friends to buy beast food!¡± ¡°In that case¡­ Wei Feng, it¡¯s not that the academy is asking you to repay them,¡± the dean explained. ¡°The academy is really short on money now ¨C how about this, I¡¯ll give you 50,000 yuan, and two sets of beast armor.¡± Wei Feng: ! Oh? Wei Feng didn¡¯t hesitate and accepted. A set of beast armor is almost 500,000 yuan! It¡¯s weird, though. Giving him extra cash would be the better alternative to giving him extra beast armor. Is the academy really short on funds? 50,000 yuan. I¡¯m not believing it! When he followed the dean to the beast armor storage, he understood why. The entire room was in shambles. Compared to Zhang Xiyao and Wang Jiahao¡¯s, you couldn¡¯t even compare with their armor. There were a few hundred sets of armor here, but they were all either broken or rotting. It¡¯s impossible to find a complete set. Wei Feng¡¯s face turned black. He really wanted to beat the dean up, but then he wouldn¡¯t be able to afford the medical bills. In the end, Wei Feng picked up two daggers, a pair of ripped gloves, and two sets of decent beast armor. Wei Feng suspects these sets of junk is worth no more than 5,000 yuan. He felt scammed. Nine o¡¯ clock. Wei Feng got his 50,000 yuan from the dean and ran away. He doesn¡¯t have that many belongings. He went to the train station and bought a ticket to Yancheng for 3 o¡¯ clock in the afternoon. Meanwhile, in Yangtze. Someone found Wei Qing, Wei Feng¡¯s father, and asked for his whereabouts. His father didn¡¯t know where he was, and he was almost beaten to death. Those people then realised that his father really didn¡¯t know where Wei Feng was. Two fifty in the afternoon. Wei Feng sat in the train ¨C he donned clothes for the summer, and a cap, with white earphones in his ears ¨C he looked like an ordinary teenager travelling. ¡°Dear passengers, the train to Yancheng will leave the station in a minute. Please board the train.¡± The loudspeaker announced. Then, the train left the station into the underground railway. All trains here ran underground. This is because it isn¡¯t safe for trains in the city ¨C there are often royal beasts¡¯ tens of meters tall, so there is a risk. Of course, it isn¡¯t safe down here either. But compared to above ground, it is much safer. It has been two hours, and Wei Feng took out his water bottle to take a sip. He took off his cap and looked around the carriage. He was sitting by the window in the middle of the carriage. He was next to a middle-aged man, and opposite of him were a couple ¨C the husband was wearing a suit, while the woman wore a traditional Chinese cheongsam, holding a cat in her arms. Boom! The whole train shook violently, and the cat in her arms got frightened and jumped into Wei Feng¡¯s arms. Wei Feng subconsciously flung the cat away and grabbed it by its arms. ¡°Meow!¡± The cat meowed in shocked. ¡°Let go of my baby!¡± The woman shouted. Boom! The train shook violently again, and since the woman unbuckled her seat belt, she was flung into the man sitting beside Wei Feng. ¡°Oh my god! Don¡¯t touch me! Dear, pull me up now!¡± The woman¡¯s husband unbuckled his seat belt, and pulled his wife up. He then grabbed the cat in Wei Feng¡¯s arms. At this moment, the entire carriage shook, and the carriage was lifted off the tracks. What¡¯s going on?! CH 31 Chapter 31: Invasion of the Iron-Toothed Rat The carriage was then lifted into the air into a right angle, and the carriage behind it collided with it, turning the entire carriage upside down. Wei Feng clutched his seat tightly, as if he had welded his body with the carriage. The entire carriage shook as it was being pulled in every direction. He put himself in a braced position to protect himself. Thankfully, the carriages are specially reinforced for cases like this ¨C even if they are severely hit, the damage is not noticeable. One would be safe if they fasten their seat belt and stay where they are. The only people not wearing a seat belt was the couple, who have fainted from the initial impact. Finally, the carriage fell to the ground, but still remained upside down. Wei Feng unfastened his seat belt and fell to the roof of the carriage and stood up. At the same time, other passengers unfastened their seat belts and fell to the roof ¨C one could hear many ¡°pops!¡± from the way they fell. Wei Feng ignored them, however. He walked straight to the back of the carriage and opened the door. There may be no danger now, but danger is approaching. Wei Feng jumped out of the carriage, the dim light in the tunnel prevented him from seeing too far. The train and carriages that were in front of them were long gone ¨C they were probably thousands of kilometres away from them. It would take a long time for the train to return and pick them up. The entire tunnel had a width of about ten metres, and the carriage itself had a width of five metres. There were five carriages left behind from the crash ¨C people came out of their carriages and ran forward desperately to catch up with the train. Some summoned their imperial beasts and rode them, making them faster. In an emergency, if the passengers stay with the conductor of the train, they will be safe. Now, these passengers are rushing to reach the conductor. ¡°Squeak!¡± A squeak of a mouse could be heard. A passenger galloping on a royal beast shouted, ¡°It¡¯s the iron-toothed rats! There are hundreds of them, run for your lives!¡± Iron-toothed rats, the hidden danger of underground tunnels. They are social creatures, acting like a hivemind ¨C good at burrowing, sneaking up on moving trains, and devouring humans and beasts as food. ¡°No! They are too fast ¨C let the elderly and children go first! We need to delay them! Summon your royal beasts!¡± An attendant shouted. Many young men quickly turned around to defend the other passengers. Wei Feng didn¡¯t leave either. The attendant had already summoned his own royal beast to resist the mice. The carriages were already blocking a large portion of the tunnel, and the rats can only come from either side from the carriage. This is a good defensive position. Pentagrams lighted up one after another, and the place was then crowded with royal beasts. Horned lions, trolls, ghost wolves¡­ But there wasn¡¯t enough space, the beasts were crowded together, and there wasn¡¯t room for any of them to move. They were trying to form a wall of royal beasts to resist those rats. Wej Feng frowned. It¡¯s only a matter of time before those rats break through the wall of royal beasts, and these royal beasts will become rat food. Wei Feng quickly shouted, ¡°If you don¡¯t want your royal beast to die in your arms, back away now! Put three royal beasts to defend every 5 metres. If one rat gets past, the beast behind can defend against it!¡± In situations like these, people always obey the loudest ones. Many of them quickly followed Wei Feng¡¯s orders. ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°Squeak squeak!¡± The iron-toothed rats finally appeared, and flooded through the carriage. ¡°Roar!¡± The horned lion at the front emitted a dark green light from its horn, and spewed its poison forward. Immediately a rat fell. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Squeak, squeak!¡± There were still too many mice and they were hitting the horned lion. They are agile, but they lack strength. It often takes a dozen of rats to kill a Level 4 Royal Beast. Therefore, they rarely face royal beasts head on, instead focusing on another goal. Attacking the beastmaster first. If a beastmaster dies, the beast will fall into a state of rage and lose control ¨C then, the mice can simply burrow and hide and return a few hours later to feast on the corpses. This is a common occurrence when disasters in the tunnels occur. But today is different. A rat broke through all the defenses and excitedly rush to the beastmaster in sight¡­ ¡°Slash!¡± Wei Feng held an axe and swung, cutting the rat into two pieces neatly. Rat: ¡°¡­¡± It will never be able to understand how and why it died to such a powerful beastmaster. The group of beastmasters behind Wei Feng cheered him on. It is rare for a beastmaster to have such good physical skill. Wei Feng then summoned his Dragon Ape. These rats are too many ¨C they can break through more than a dozen of royal beasts and beastmasters. ¡°Squeak!¡± Another rat broke through the final defense, but was swatted away by the Dragon Ape. Everything was under control under Wei Feng¡¯s orders. No royal beast had fallen. It definitely is Wei Feng¡¯s brilliant plan of separating the beasts. When the rats encounter a dead end, they will bite frantically for an opening, even through flesh. However, Wei Feng let the beasts spread out, leaving gaps. This confuses the rats. Cunning attacks have always been the nature of the rats, but this completely throws them off. The rats try to run past the beasts, but were all swiftly beheaded by the beasts as they ran through. Even if they are lucky enough to run past the defenses to reach the end, it isn¡¯t food that awaits them, but a human more terrifying than the devil himself. Because of this formation, the rats are struggling to break through the defenses. Suddenly, a siren sounded behind Wei Feng. The mice quickly drilled into the hidden passages on both sides of the tunnel. The conductor had finally returned, and the train was equipped with a sonic wave weapon to disperse the rats. This weapon is only useful in tunnels, however. Fortunately, the rats all scattered. There were only corpses of rats left at the scene, with no beast casualties. Everyone felt safer and surprised ¨C they felt confident in the face of the terror that lurks in the tunnels, all thanks to Wei Feng. Some of them thanked Wei Feng, and praised him highly. Wei Feng just smiled slightly, and then sat down to rest. After half an hour, the carriages were reconnected to the train. The train restarted and left the scene. The attendant pushed the dining cart to distribute beer to every passenger for the previous ordeal. When passing by Wei Feng¡¯s seat, he sneaked Wei Feng a bottle of champagne and chicken rice. Wei Feng thanked him and accepted the food. Four hours later, a bright light flooded the carriage. The train slowed down and stopped. Yancheng. CH 32 Chapter 32: Advanced Auxiliary Formation Yancheng is much more prosperous than Yangtze. It is a Level 4 City. Wei Feng just learnt that the cities in this world are also categorized into levels, just like beasts. ¡°Welcome to Yancheng, Level 4 City!¡± The broadcast sounded. Wei Feng walked out of the station and he felt different. The world is huge ¨C it is easy to hide from a person or an organization. If one moves to another city and maintains a low profile, they can live in peace for the rest of their lives. This world may be modern, but it can be difficult to find a specific person. Because there aren¡¯t any satellites in the sky, and communications between cities are independent. All one can find is fixed information that had already been uploaded into federal databases. Wei Feng hitchhiked a ride to the city centre. He had a clear plan. Spend money to buy advanced auxiliary summons, rent a house in the suburbs, and maintain a low profile while training. Not training his beasts, but himself. The Centre of Yancheng. Angel Shopping Mall. Wei Feng learnt from his driver that Yancheng was the only place where one can buy auxiliary formations, and you can even buy the highest levels of formations. Entering the mall, the centrepiece was a statue of an angel with folded arms in a standing position. Its white wings were folded together, as if it was protecting something. Wei Feng used the map to find his destination. 12th floor, Angel¡¯s Help. He took an elevator to the 12th floor and stepped into the hall. An angel with its wings folded and hands clasped together can be seen as the centrepiece ¨C it was smaller than the one in the 1st floor, but was more lifelike ¨C it had a neutral expression, with eyes looking straight, like it was living. While Wei Feng was staring at the statue, a mature and sexy woman in a professional suit walked over. ¡°Sir, are you looking for auxiliary formations? We have everything! Ranging from beginner auxiliary formations to advance, we can help you find the one you need! You can learn about these formations first!¡± The woman then handed him a price list. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a seat?¡± The woman offered and smiled. ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng nodded and sat in the rest hall. ¡°Coffee? Tea?¡± ¡°Just water, please,¡± Wei Feng replied. ¡°Okay! Just wait a moment,¡± the woman quickly went to retrieve the water. Wei Feng leaned on the sofa and sighed. The service here really is no joke. Wei Feng glanced at the price list. Beginner Auxiliary Formation: 5000 yuan Intermediate Auxiliary Formation: 15000 yuan. Advanced Auxiliary Formation: 150000 yuan. ¡­ The price gap between beginner and intermediate is three times, but the gap between intermediate and advanced is ten times! Wei Feng was speechless. This must be the fixed price in Yancheng. There¡¯s no point in comparing. The woman came back with a cup of water, and Wei Feng saw her name tag: Jiang Haiyan. ¡°How may I address you, sir?¡± The woman sat down opposite Wei Feng and asked. ¡°Wei.¡± Wei Feng replied. ¡°Mr. Wei, did you come here to buy an auxiliary formation, or are you just here to learn about them?¡± Wei Feng thinks this is troublesome. Although he enjoys the attentive service, he doesn¡¯t want to waste time. ¡°I want to use the auxiliary formation now ¨C the advanced one. Is it possible that it can be cheaper?¡± Wei Feng prodded. ¡°Sorry, Mr. Wei, but the prices are fixed everywhere ¨C and you need four hours of waiting time if you want to use the advanced formation.¡± Jiang Haiyan said apologetically. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll pay by card,¡± Wei Feng took out his credit card and handed it to her. Soon, Jiang Haiyan completed the transaction and gave Wei Feng a receipt. ¡°Mr. Wei, you can rest here ¨C after the formation is arranged, I¡¯ll come to inform you.¡± She then took him to a well-decorated room and bowed before leaving. ¡°Thank you.¡± Wei Feng nodded and walked into the room. It Is now eight o¡¯ clock in the morning, and in four hours, it will be in the afternoon. However, Wei Feng has nothing to do right now. He¡¯s tired from the ordeal earlier today, so Wei Feng will have a good rest now. ¡­ ¡°Knock knock!¡± There was a knock on the door. Wei Feng jerked awake from his deep sleep. It has been a long time since he slept in such a comfortable bed. He unsummoned his Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow and opened the door. Jiang Haiyan stood outside the door, and seeing Wei Feng¡¯s dishevelled look, she immediately apologised, ¡°I hope I didn¡¯t disturb your good sleep, but your auxiliary formation has been arranged. I am waking you up to remind you.¡± ¡°Oh, alright.¡± Wei Feng followed Jiang Haiyan. The auxiliary array is arranged in a separate room ¨C 4 walls, no windows, no mirrors. This is to ensure absolute privacy. Wei Feng stood in the auxiliary formation, and she retreated after seeing this. She guarded the door outside, and a fellow staff member joked, ¡°Yan, this kid must be a joke ¨C he can¡¯t be that old! How can he summon high-level royal beasts!¡± She shook her head. ¡°As long as the customer pays, I have no say ¨C besides, have you forgotten what the boss said? Don¡¯t underestimate anyone.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The man then ignored and left her. Inside the room. Wei Feng was surprised when he felt the energy surging from the formation. No wonder they have to use these formations ¨C this is too powerful! As Wei Feng drew summoning symbols, the energetic symbols emanating from the formation wrapped and combined with each summoning symbol, making it shiny. High-level beasts are Level 7, 8, and 9. The beasts of these levels need to be summoned using a seven-pointed star, and uses a total of 445 summoning symbols. Remembering all of them is not easy. Wei Feng¡¯s hands continued to describe, forming one after another in swift motion. Ten minutes later, all 445 summoning symbols were drawn by Wei Feng, and each of them was wrapped in the energy emitted by the auxiliary formation. Wei Feng then combined and arranged it swiftly. A sparkling summoning formation with seven points was forming, and spun. ¡°Buzz!¡± The formation trembled, and a dazzling light erupted from the formation. Wei Feng¡¯s body was in the centre of the formation, and like a vortex, he absorbed all of its energy. ¡°Crack!¡± Cracks formed on the stones used to arrange the auxiliary formation, and each stone seemed to burn bright with energy. Wei Feng felt like he was going to lose control. Something is amiss in his body ¨C something is madly absorbing all of the energy in the auxiliary formation. Until a crisp prompt sounded in his head. Ding! [NOTICE: The Strongest Beastmaster System has been upgraded. You can now summon two beasts at once.] [NOTICE: The Power of Control has been upgraded to Advanced Level]. CH 33 Chapter 33: Thunder Bird and Silver Wolf King When the prompt sounded, Wei Feng¡¯s body stopped absorbing all the energy in the auxiliary formation. However, the 1000 energy stones used to construct the formation have all been cracked heavily. Wei Feng is filled with immense power, making him able to do double summons. And this ¡°double summoning¡± doesn¡¯t take into account beasts derived from Forbidden Items, which means he can summon his Dragon Ape and Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow, and it won¡¯t count as double summons. He can continue to summon a mid-tier royal beast and a low-level royal beast. ¡°Awoo~¡± A wolf howl suddenly emerged from the formation. A strong feeling of majesty emitted from the formation. Wei Feng saw something unfold within the formation. A giant, silver-white wolf stood on top of a mountain and howled to the moon. The moon was pure and white and shone brightly in the sky. And the wolf started to devour the moon. ¡°Buzz!¡± The formation trembled, and claws stuck out of it ¨C the giant wolf then stepped out of it. The seven-pointed star formation then shrunk and imprinted itself on the forehead of the silver wolf. Suddenly, a force overcame Wei Feng. ¡°Ugh!¡± Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but begin howling as well. The mysterious force was painful ¨C it felt like all the cells in his body were being ripped apart. It circulated in his body, making his body, flesh, and blood come alive ¨C it absorbed the entirety of that mysterious force. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained a Level 9 Royal Beast ¨C [Silver Moon Wolf King]] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability of the [Silver Moon Wolf King] ¨C [Summon: Wolf King].] ¡­ It took almost half an hour for Wei Feng to absorb the mysterious force. Without stopping, Wei Feng quickly composed himself and drew more summoning symbols and arranged them. The seven-pointed star array then lit up again. The formation is still burning with power because of the energy stones. It cannot be wasted. He needs to utilise his double summoning. Quickly, summon it! ¡°Boom!¡± When the formation lit up again, sounds of thunder emitted from the formation, and purple arcs of lightning shot out and spread out to Wei Feng, causing him to go numb. ¡°Caw!¡± A low cry came from the formation, and a huge bird shot out from the formation. A big bird, covered in arcs of lightning. Its feathers were bright purple, as if electricity wrapped around every single feather. The seven-pointed star shrank and imprinted itself on the beast¡¯s forehead. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained a Level 9 Royal Beast ¨C [Thunder Bird]] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability of [Thunder Bird] ¨C [Electricity Manipulation].] ¡­ A huge, mysterious force slammed into Wei Feng¡¯s body again, crackling with energy. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t believe his body could handle this much power. A mysterious force was keeping him from exploding and dying from the immense surge in power. Another half hour passed. Wei Feng slowly got up from the floor and sat down, his clothes drenched in sweat. Beside him, the Thunder Bird and Silver Moon Wolf King stood attentively, exuding majestic auras. If it wasn¡¯t for Wei Feng, they probably would have fought each other to the death. Wei Feng got up and frowned, looking at all the energy stones that were shattered. He¡¯s definitely going to have to pay that back. After all, these energy stones were meant to be used forty or fifty times for a single session, but Wei Feng used them up all at once. Wei Feng stood up. He unsummoned his beasts, then opened the door. Jiang Haiyan had been guarding the door outside, and immediately asked Wei Feng, ¡°Mr Wei, you¡¯re okay-¡° Before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned at the scene before her. All the shattered energy stones behind Wei Feng. She rushed into the room and looked at the scene before her in disbelief. These were new energy stones, and now they were all shattered into pieces! Moreover, the energy inside the stones were completely drained. ¡°This¡­¡± She was dumbfounded. This was the first time she encountered such a situation. She hurriedly ran out of the room and explained to Wei Feng, ¡°Don¡¯t leave yet. I need to ask our boss something.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Wei Feng just sat down at a bench. He didn¡¯t plan to run ¨C he did, in fact, drain all those energy stones of their power. He needed to be a man and resolve it. She quickly made a phone call and reported the situation. Wei Feng could clearly hear the conversation, he even heard the voice over the phone. What surprised Wei Feng was that it was a female voice on the other end, and the words spoken surprised him more. ¡°Are you sure all the energy stones are drained?¡± ¡°Are you sure he is only 16 or 17 years old?¡± ¡°Let him go! And give him a premium membership card of Angel Mall.¡± ¡­ Jiang Haiyan strangely looked at Wei Feng. ¡°Come with me, our boss asked me to give you a premium membership card.¡± She almost couldn¡¯t believe what she was saying. They were the ones who suffered a loss, and now they have to make the person who caused this loss a premium member? ¡°Thanks!¡± Wei Feng said. He then followed her to apply for the card ¨C then took the elevator and left her. He went to the 21st floor. The 21st floor is a hotel ¨C he used his premium membership card, which made the price of a suite go from 1000 yuan to 800. He took a long, relaxing bath, then laid on the bed and ordered a 10-person-portion meal. He then checked his panels.

Royal Beasts: Level 3 Ice Giant Level 5 Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow Level 6 Dragon Ape Level 9 Thunder Bird Level 9 Silver Moon Wolf King CH 34 Chapter 34: Attention Looking at his own and his beast¡¯s attribute panels, Wei Feng was full of excitement. He couldn¡¯t help but pinch himself ¨C it¡¯s hard to imagine that he had nearly 7000 strength! That is a little higher than a Level 8 Royal Beast. Now, he really wants to find out how powerful one punch of his can be. Looking around, he quickly discarded that idea ¨C the things here are quite expensive. If he breaks anything, he won¡¯t be able to afford the damages. He lied down on the bed and waited. Soon enough, the ten sets of food he ordered arrive ¨C they were all beef-based and the portions were large. When the attendant saw Wei Feng alone, he was surprised. Shortly after, the dining table was full of food. Wei Feng was about to dig in, but a message suddenly came from the shared information page between him and his royal beast. ¡°Huh?¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised. It was a message from his Silver Wolf, and it wanted to be summoned. Wei Feng had no choice but to put down his utensils and began summoning his beast. ¡°Awoo~¡± The Silver Wolf let out a cheerful roar and leapt out of the summoning formation. ¡°My god.¡± The Wolf let out a light exhale upon hitting the ground, then looked at Wei Feng silently for a bit. He opened his mouth, ¡°You have earned my recognition! Consider it a blessing.¡± ¡°Oh my god.¡± Wei Feng¡¯s was shocked, but then was relieved shortly after realising the implications of his beast talking to him. There are many royal beasts that understand the human language ¨C it¡¯s no surprise that the King of Wolves can understand the human language. However, if a beast of his calibre doesn¡¯t respond to you, there is only one possibility. It looks down upon you, and is unwilling to pay attention to you. High-levelled royal beasts, especially those with extremely high Spirit Power, can turn on you at any moment. The strong prey on the weak. As a king, why should he stoop down to your level to serve a useless beastmaster? It¡¯s no surprise that a high-levelled beast would turn against their beastmaster. A king will never bow down to admit defeat. ¡°Thank you!¡± Wei Feng thanked the Wolf for his recognition. The Silver Wolf then started to shrink, emitting a soft, moon-white light. Seeing this, Wei Feng was surprised! He never knew it could do that. The Wolf was reduced to the size of a dog, one and a half meters in length and one meter in height, still looking majestic. ¡°Well, what should I call you?¡± the Wolf jumped onto the seat opposite Wei Feng and asked. Wei Feng hurriedly sat up straight and announced, ¡°My name is Wei Feng, but you can call me Fengzi** as well!¡± **[t/n]: Wei Feng is κ·ç in Chinese, and ·ç has the same pinyin as ·è (crazy), so the Wolf King joked that Wei Feng was asking him to address him as Crazy. ¡°Crazy?¡± The Wolf King gave Wei Feng a strange look, ¡°A suitable name.¡± ¡°Cough!¡± The Wolf King coughed, resting a paw on his chin, ¡°I am from the Royal Family of the Wolf Clan, and I have the blood of the legendary Yinyue. My name? Yueshang.¡± ¡°Wow.¡± Wei Feng was stunned, ¡°Good name.¡± The Wolf King proudly stood up, ¡°That¡¯s a given. I came up with the name myself after all.¡± Wei Feng gave the Wolf King a strange look ¨C he¡¯s obviously hiding something. Or keeping a low profile. ¡°So, can we chat while eating?¡± The Wolf King inquired. Your majesty! Wei Feng felt strange. He felt that he was given grace from a king. ¡°Please! Go ahead, dig in! If it isn¡¯t enough, I¡¯ll order more!¡± Wei Feng hurriedly said. The Wolf King picked up a knife with one paw and a fork in another, and gently cut into a piece of beef and chewed it slowly. Wei Feng was dumbfounded. Truly, a royal family is world¡¯s apart from a commoner like him. This is crazy. When the Wolf chewed his beef, there weren¡¯t any meat juice splattering ¨C and he only cuts into another piece of beef after he finishes chewing! It felt like Wei Feng was dining with a royal person. ¡°Let me out!¡± Wei Feng was surprised as he received a loud message from his Thunder Bird. Wei Feng hurriedly summoned it ¨C Level 9 Beasts are the real beastmasters at this point. ¡°Was that the Thunder Bird? Fengzi, I suggest you kill it and simmer it over a low heat ¨C it would taste very good.¡± The Wolf King said while he was drawing the summoning symbol. Wei Feng, ¡°¡­¡± He pretended to not hear the Wolf. ¡°Caw!¡± The Thunder Bird flew out of the formation. Crackle¡­ crackle¡­ In a flash of lightning, the Thunder Bird shrunk itself, turning into the size of a dove and rested itself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Greetings, I give you my blessings.¡± The Thunder Bird¡¯s voice was like an old duck, a bit harsh on the ears. Wei Feng smiled, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Feng, you should really consider my suggestion! It would taste really good!¡± The Wolf King sounded again. Wei Feng continued to ignore him, but Thunder Bird jumped onto the table, lightning emanating from its body, ¡°What do you mean?! Do you want to fight?!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± The Wolf King laughed. ¡°This little bird is trying to pick a fight with me! One flick of a finger and you¡¯re fried chicken!¡± ¡­ ¡°Enough!¡± Wei Feng shouted. Wei Feng had a headache. Other beastmasters probably don¡¯t have the capability of summoning two Level 9 Beasts at once, so they wouldn¡¯t encounter this kind of trouble. Wei Feng changed his mind. He couldn¡¯t treat them like royalty that much, he had to be stricter, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to control them in battle. Especially the Wolf King, it seemed too prideful to be controlled. He had read a lot of books about royal beasts in the library back at the academy, and he knew a lot of about them. If the beasts were to rebel against their beastmaster, it would be deadly. Both the beasts and the beastmaster could die. Under normal circumstances, as long as the beastmaster is reasonable, the beast will not easily turn against their masters. Royal beasts like the Wolf King have the ability to resist summoning, however. That is, as long as they are unwilling, even if you use ten auxiliary formations, it would refuse to be summoned. And beasts of this level can choose their own beastmaster, and if they are at that level, they can be independent, and can separate themselves from beastmasters. High-tiered beastmasters can even take the initiative to connect summoning formations so that that they will become their opponent¡¯s beasts. Therefore, even in the face of high-levelled beasts, the beastmaster should remain the dominant one. ¡­ Wei Feng¡¯s face turned gloomy, and said in a serious voice, ¡°I don¡¯t like disobedient royal beasts. Royal beasts should behave like one.¡± Glancing at the Wolf King and the Thunder Bird, Wei Feng continued, ¡°I know both of you have the ability to rebel against me, but take note of my own Spirit Power. I dare both of you to try it.¡± The Wolf King and Thunder Bird immediately sat up straight. He hurriedly explained, ¡°Of course, both of you can have your own personalities, but behave. I can and will keep you unsummoned forever.¡± The beasts panicked. ¡°Uh oh.¡± Wei Feng laughed, ¡°Both of you may be Level 9 beasts, but I too, am at your level.¡± CH 35 Chapter 35: The Hidden Information Chain of High-Levelled Beasts The Wolf King took its half-eaten steak to the ground and jumped off the chair while wagging its tail, ¡°That¡¯s so true! How can us as lowly beasts eat at the same table as our Great Master! Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s not a big deal!¡± The Wolf King then picked up the beef on the ground, and walked to Wei Feng¡¯s feet while wagging his tail, then lied on the ground and ate. ¡°Master! I am so obedient! I will only bite when you ask me to bite!¡± ¡°Woof! Bark bark bark!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ This is really a 180-degree change in personality. I guess the Wolf King can really do anything. Or could it be that the product is faulty, and the flaws are revealing itself. He can even bark! This is so cruel. ¡°Flap! Flap!¡± The Thunder Bird flapped its wings and flew to Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Master! Look at me, please! I am the most obedient royal beast ¨C I can even massage you via electrotherapy!¡± As he said that, Thunder Bird¡¯s claws pinched on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders, and electricity emitted from its claws, making his shoulders numb. Wei Feng closed his eyes. He didn¡¯t lie on being good at massaging. ¡°Ooh¡­ Ah!¡± Wei Feng smiled, ¡°This is how a royal beast should behave.¡± ¡°Woof! Bark Bark!¡± ¡°Caw!¡± ¡­ ¡°Alright, stand up,¡± Wei Feng waved his hand. ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Bzz!¡± The Wolf King and Thunder Bird instantly stood at attention. ¡°Ah, this is¡­¡± Wei Feng wanted to laugh, but he didn¡¯t expect that the prideful Level 9 beasts would be so easily tamed. It¡¯s a Level 9 beast, for god¡¯s sake! Actually, it isn¡¯t because they¡¯re spineless. If it was a different person, the Wolf King would definitely not get along. But in the fact of Wei Feng, he really can¡¯t resist him. The mark imprinted on his forehead is key for the beastmaster to control the beast. The higher the spirit power of a beastmaster, the stronger the pressure this mark exerts on the beast. This is why after the death of a beastmaster; the beast will lose control. It¡¯s all because of the mark! And if a beastmaster with the spirit power of Wei Feng dies, the beast will most definitely die on the spot. Moreover, the royal beast has no possibility of turning against its master at all, so they won¡¯t even dare to have such thoughts. Oppression. If they are considered kings among royal beasts, then Wei Feng can be considered the king of kings due to the mark! ¡­ ¡°Come on, I¡¯m not that strict ¨C as long as you aren¡¯t out of line, I won¡¯t do anything,¡± Wei Feng said with a soft voice. The Wolf King licked at Wei Feng¡¯s toes, ¡°Master, don¡¯t say that! I will always obey you ¨C I will bite anyone you ask me to bite!¡± ¡°Woof woof! Bark bark!¡± Thunder Bird quickly followed suit, ¡°I can be your loyal dog too! Look!¡± ¡°Caw¡­? Bork bork!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng felt a little helpless. But he didn¡¯t intend to correct them. They are behaving like royal beasts, after all. ¡­ Half an hour later, Wei Feng finished all the food and felt less hungry. Every time he is ¡°upgraded¡±, his appetite only skyrockets. He only spends an hour every day on eating, which is extremely fast. Four pm. Wei Feng put on some dry clothes and went out on a walk. Because the Wolf King and Thunder Bird were shrunk to pet sizes, Wei Feng did not unsummon them. Thunder Bird rested on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders, while Wolf King followed Wei Feng. They walked out of Angel Mall, and many people¡¯s eyes swept over the Wolf King, in particular, the women. They asked if the ¡°dog¡± was for sale. Even Wei Feng had to admit that the Wolf King looked extremely majestic. His silver hair was shining, you couldn¡¯t see a single stray hair either ¨C his slender body and deep, peering eyes attracted the attention of mature women looking for pets. A woman wearing a long, sky-blue dress walked towards Wei Feng, staring at Thunder Bird, ¡°Sir! Your bird looks beautiful.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Wei Feng was stunned. This is incredibly weird. ¡°Of course. My bird is incredibly big!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± The woman nodded. ¡°Is it for sale? I¡¯ll pay you 100,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Nope! Not for sale.¡± Wei Feng shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m a serious bird person. I keep birds for myself.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s a pity.¡± The woman then wordlessly left. Wei Feng reached out to pet Thunder Bird, and he cupped his face onto Wei Feng¡¯s palm affectionately. Something is amiss, but Wei Feng didn¡¯t know what was wrong. Exiting Angel Mall, Wei Feng was bathed in sunlight, and stretched his waist ¨C crackling sounds emitting from his body. ¡°Master, I suggest you practice carefully for a while. I can sense the huge power in your body, but you may not be able to control it!¡± the Wolf King warned. Wei Feng agreed, ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right. Do you have any good ideas?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a breathing method you can try,¡± the Wolf King replied. ¡°Breathing?!¡± Wei Feng was surprised. Thunder Bird then chirped, ¡°Master, I also can use my electricity ¨C I call it the Thunderbolt Body Forging Method! It can help you!¡± ¡°Thunderbolt Body Forging Method¡­¡± This is crazy! What¡¯s going on? He glanced at Thunder Bird and the Wolf King. These two must cultivate demons in their spare time. My god! What a chaotic world. Wei Feng was confused. He had read a lot of books about beasts, but he has never seen anything like this before. ¡°Why are these abilities not shown on your beast panel?¡± Wei Feng asked. There aren¡¯t any records on their beast panel showing these hidden abilities! ¡°Master, the panel that shares information is based on our attribute values. We can hide it at will,¡± the Wolf King grinned. ¡°Oh!¡± Thunder Bird nodded and chirped back, ¡°Master, this information chain is like the fixed information you keep in the federal database ¨C it¡¯s up to us to decide whether you see it!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng: ¡­ At this moment, Wei Feng felt that he had entered a whole new world. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We need to chat.¡± ¡­ Evening came. Wei Feng returned to the hotel. The Wolf King shared some secret information with Wei Feng through the shared information panel. Wei Feng was shocked. It¡¯s a dangerous world ¨C where the impossible becomes possible. Wei Feng stood at the hotel window, looking at the neon lights starting to flood the city. He came to a decision on what he wants to pursue. Perhaps, eternal life? Or becoming the most powerful beastmaster anyone has even seen! CH 36 Chapter 36: Roommates Although Angel Mall¡¯s hotel is comfortable, it is way too expensive to stay long-term. Wei Feng is more pressured since he has two more royal beasts to feed. He still had 210,000 yuan left in his credit card, it won¡¯t last long. Wei Feng plans to find a place to stay, preferably in the suburbs. Not only is it cheap, it¡¯s also quiet. At the gate of Angel Mall, Wei Feng downloaded a renting app on his mobile phone. After logging in, Wei Feng searched for a place to stay that best fit his conditions. ¡°In the eastern suburbs of Yancheng, three bedrooms, one hall ¨C monthly rent: 1500 yuan. Please contact ¡­¡± ¡°In the western suburbs of Yancheng, three bedrooms, one living room, a dry and wet kitchen, two bathrooms ¨C rent is split in half, I am a single female, contact me at¡­¡± ¡°In the southern area of Yancheng, we are looking for roommates for a two-bedroom, one-hall house. 600-yuan monthly rent, large house, good environment, and quiet, please contact me at¡­¡± ¡­ There is a lot of people looking for co-rentals too. In the end, Wei Feng chose the southern suburbs. It is the cheapest, and there¡¯s a lot of space as well. Wei Feng called. The other end was a woman, but didn¡¯t seem to care that Wei Feng was male. ¡°Just come on over! I¡¯ll send the address.¡± The other party was direct and sent the address to Wei Feng immediately. Wei Feng felt strange ¨C the voice on the phone was strangely familiar. Wei Feng hitchhiked his way to his destination. An hour passed. Wei Feng arrived at Fuyuan Garden. This is an older community ¨C the nameplate at the gate of the community was wearing out. The floors inside are a bit shabby, and the outer lacquer of the floors has fallen off. The gate of the community is also unguarded, and there is a lotus flower in full bloom in the pond facing the gate ¨C it seems someone is caring for it. ¡°Mr. Wei, what are you doing here?¡± A startled voice sounded beside him. Wei Feng quickly turned around, and it was the attendant from Angel Mall ¨C Jiang Haiyan, wearing regular clothes. He realised the familiar voice was in fact, Jiang Haiyan. What a coincidence! ¡°Mr. Wei¡­ it can¡¯t be¡­ you were the one on the phone!¡± she said in surprise. Wei Feng nodded. ¡°Yup. It was me.¡± Jiang Haiyan was shocked. ¡°What happened?! You¡­ I thought¡­ how could you come to such a shabby place to rent a house?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Wei Feng awkwardly scratched his head. ¡°It¡¯s a long story. Why don¡¯t you take me for a house tour?¡± ¡°Alright. Come with me,¡± she then led Wei Feng into the community. Wei Feng trailed behind her. Although the community was somewhat dilapidated, there is still many people living here. In the pavilion, several old men were playing chess. In the small clearing, several old women were doing morning exercises. It¡¯s quite lively here. ¡°By the way, why do you live here?¡± Wei Feng inquired. ¡°Oh!¡± Jiang Haiyan replied in surprise, ¡°The rent is cheap. And isn¡¯t the environment here good? I prefer somewhere quieter.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng responded. Silence. Jiang Haiyan brought Wei Feng to a five-storey building, and Wei Feng asked, ¡°Do you really mind if a boy rents a place with you?¡± Her face turned red. She remained calm in her voice, ¡°What¡¯s the big issue? I¡¯m single anyways, and my parents are pushing me to get a boyfriend.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ ¡°Then, I¡¯d have to leave.¡± Wei Feng then turned around and was prepared to leave. He came to rent a house, not find a girlfriend. ¡°Hey!¡± Jiang Haiyan hurriedly corrected herself, ¡°Wait! I was just joking ¨C you¡¯re a big, strong man! Are you afraid that a weak woman like me will do anything to you?¡± Wei Feng remained silent. She became anxious. ¡°Okay! Fine! I¡¯ll come clean ¨C I don¡¯t feel safe here, so I wanted to find a male to rent a room with me! The agency here tricked me and I had already paid a year¡¯s rent, so I rented a house here.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng nodded. ¡°Well, why didn¡¯t you say that earlier?¡± ¡°Oh man.¡± Jiang Haiyan sighed. ¡°At least I managed to convince you to stay.¡± ¡­ She lives on the second floor, and there are two families on each floor. She explained that a couple lived opposite them ¨C no one lived upstairs, and there was only one family downstairs. In other words, in this five-storey building, only three households live. Wei Feng paid her the rent in advance. The place is quite large ¨C two rooms and a living room with separate bathrooms ¨C and one kitchen. Wei Feng entered his room on the left, a bed and a set of decent mahogany-coloured furniture. ¡°Not bad!¡± Wei Feng was satisfied. Wei Feng summoned the Wolf King and Thunder Bird. The two are still shrunken, like two pets. Wei Feng took them out the room, and Jiang Haiyan was stunned. ¡°Are these your beasts?¡± she inquired. She didn¡¯t expect Wei Feng to have such majestic beasts. ¡°They aren¡¯t bad, right?¡± Wei Feng nodded, and rubbed the Wolf King¡¯s head. ¡°Woof! Bark bark!¡± She was relieved, and started summoning her own beasts. ¡°Ah, you have beasts too. I¡¯m relieved.¡± A golden retriever stepped out of the formation. ¡°Woof!¡± However, as soon as it stepped out, it seemed greatly frightened and hid behind Jiang Haiyan. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Could it be that its afraid of your dog?¡± Jiang Haiyan comforted her dog. Wei Feng knew what was the reason. The Wolf King was the king of wolves, it¡¯s a surprise the dog wasn¡¯t already scared to death. Wei Feng patted the Wolf King, signalling him to behave. The golden retriever then became quiet. Out of curiosity, Wei Feng probed the golden retriever¡¯s information. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Golden Retriever Level: Level 1 (Beginner) Attribute: None Strength: 25 Agility: 23 Spirit Power: 20 Core Ability: [Bite] ¨C The golden retriever is protective. Its bite deals additional damage equal to 50% of the strength value. ¡­ All right! Nothing to see here, it¡¯s just her pet. Jiang Haiyan updated Wei Feng on some other matters, and returned to her room. Wei Feng took the Wolf King and Thunder Bird for a walk ¨C he was quite satisfied with this place. Although it was more traditional, it felt good. CH 37 Chapter 37: The Wolf King¡¯s Breathing Methods At noon, she cooked some rice and fried her special dish, saying that she wanted Wei Feng to eat with her. Wei Feng didn¡¯t hold back ¨C he finished the entire pot of rice, and not a single trace of the four dishes she made were left. Jiang Haiyan was stunned. After eating, Wei Feng went to the supermarket by the gate of the community to buy fruits and vegetables, as well as meat to express his thanks to her. Not to mention, the goods here are cheaper. Jiang Haiyan just stared at Wei Feng when he came back with bags upon bags of groceries. She isn¡¯t rich ¨C if she was, she wouldn¡¯t be staying in such a place. ¡°You bought¡­ a lot of groceries! They will definitely spoil if you don¡¯t eat them all,¡± she reminded him gently. Wei Feng just laughed, ¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯re the one responsible for cooking it, and I am responsible for eating it! I won¡¯t waste food, promise.¡± Jiang Haiyan: ¡­ Are you using me as a nanny?! She thought to herself. ¡°Even if you have a big appetite, you can¡¯t possibly finish this much food! Moreover, why should I even cook for you!¡± She interrogated. Wei Feng smiled, ¡°You are going to cook anyways, might as well cook my portions! Look ¨C I¡¯ll portion it so that it won¡¯t spoil.¡± ¡°¡­Fine. But you have to help me ¨C I have to cook a lot of dishes.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng was happy that the issue of food is resolved. As for his beasts¡¯ food, there is a store selling royal beast food around ten miles away from the north of the community. ¡­ At dinner, Wei Feng ate a big pot of stew. He also bought a cauldron at the supermarket, which can hold 20 litres of liquid. Beef¡­ pork¡­ Wei Feng stewed all the meat together and seasoned the soup well. Jiang Haiyan was enlightened once again. He ate more than 10kg of meat alone, with 5 bowls of rice, not including the fruits and vegetables. ¡°I finally understand why you want to rent a house here.¡± ¡­ Night time. The bright moonlight reflects off water, and the wind creates soft ripples in the water. The air was fresh and crisp. Eleven forty at night. Wei Feng sat up from the bed, and gently pushed open the window ¨C he jumped out of the window. From his room, the height was just about a dozen metres ¨C Wei Feng landed perfectly with a muffled sound. The Wolf King and Thunder Bird quickly leapt out of the window as well. The Wolf King landed gracefully, while the Thunder Bird, well, flew down. A human and two royal beasts walked silently in the moonlight and came to an open space. The Wolf King then said, ¡°Master! Let me demonstrate it for you my breathing method to train yourself!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Feng nodded and stared intently. The Wolf King adjusted his breath, then breathed in slowly while facing the bright moon. As the Wolf King breathed, strands of white moonlight flickered in the air and gathered around the Wolf King ¨C he then breathed it in and exhaled the moonlight. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out,¡± The moon was like water, the light rippling. The thick wafts of moonlight shone brightly as the Wolf King breathed it in. Wei Feng widened his eyes. He couldn¡¯t believe it! He had only ever heard legends of wild beasts consuming the essence of the sun and the moon, and using that essence as energy ¨C but now, it is reality. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± After a while, he stopped. ¡°Do you understand the process, master?¡± The Wolf King inquired. Wei Feng shook his head; he didn¡¯t really understand the mechanics behind just simply breathing. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll do it for you, but the feeling comes naturally ¨C and you have to breathe slowly.¡± He explained. The Wolf King adjusted his breath and started breathing, and the thick moonlight reappeared once again. ¡°Huff! Puff!¡± And the moonlight, like water, flows towards Wei Feng ¨C the crisp sound like a stream surrounds Wei Feng. The ray of moonlight spreads to Wei Feng¡¯s mouth and nose, and he subconsciously followed the Wolf King¡¯s breathing pattern. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± A cool air surged in Wei Feng¡¯s lungs. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± The air was like water ¨C strong, but gentle. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± On the third breath, Wei Feng could feel the tender hold on the water, but it was cold, with a hidden feeling of loneliness. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± Now, it¡¯s only Wei Feng breathing. The Wolf King was delightfully shocked. Wei Feng¡¯s body shone brightly in the dark of night, wrapped in the loving embrace of the moonlight. Wei Feng no longer needed the assistance of the Wolf King. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Thunder Bird whispered to the Wolf King. ¡°I don¡¯t know ¨C I think we just birthed a monster ¨C his name does suit him! He is Crazy!¡± The Wolf King replied. ¡°How long did it take you to master this?¡± The Thunder Bird inquired. ¡°¡­Three years.¡± Thunder Bird: ¡­ Now. Wei Feng felt as if he was ascending. Streams of moonlight flooded his brain, condensing into a single, pearl-white dot in the centre of his brain. Wei Feng felt his Spirit Power increase in strength ¨C the moonlight drew power within his brain, and¡­ His [Ruined Symbol] floods with energy and activated. [Absolute Zero] also shone and turned moon-white. ¡°Buzz!¡± A violent vibration shook his brain. The white dot materialised and turned into a square box. A prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: E-Tier Forbidden Item [Spirit World] has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have mastered the breathing technique [Secret of the Bright Moon].] [NOTICE: Your body surges with power. Your base attributes are doubled.] ¡­ Wei Feng finally opened his eyes, and looked at the Wolf King quizzically. What happened? How did I generate a forbidden item? Ah. [Forbidden Items] Name: [Spirit World] Grade: E-Tier Type: Evolvable Function: Boosts your Spirit Power. ¡­ This forbidden item can evolve too! CH 38 Chapter 38: The Chosen One However, Wei Feng shone as brightly as the moon, countless fireflies gathered by him. It wasn¡¯t too bright ¨C but he looked dreamy. Wei Feng glanced at his attribute panel. Before this, his Spirit Power was displayed as 273 (+6120). The additional bracket behind the number means that he has yet to fully control the Spirit Power shared with his royal beasts. But now, his mental power has directly turned into 6680. That E-Tier Forbidden Item [Spirit World] gathered all the Spirit Power, and allowed him to fully control this Spirit Power. And after he had learnt his new breathing method, his base attributes are doubled, so now his Spirit Power has reached 6680. ¡°Master, do you feel any different?¡± The Wolf King asked. Wei Feng nodded, ¡°I feel¡­ different. Your breathing method is too strong ¨C I can now fully control my Spirit Power, and it also created a forbidden item. An evolvable one at that.¡± ¡°An evolvable forbidden item!¡± The Wolf King widened his eyes. ¡°Is something wrong? Don¡¯t you have it too?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°Uh.¡± The Wolf King didn¡¯t know what to answer. ¡°Oh! And my other two forbidden items got activated ¨C and my S-Tier Forbidden Item was strengthened as well ¨C but I think the forbidden item would suit you better, to be honest,¡± Wei Feng rambled. The Wolf King immediately bowed his head in a surrendering position. He had already smelled the presence of Forbidden Items on Wei Feng, he just didn¡¯t expect it to be S-Tier, and he had two Forbidden Items at that! This person is not normal. This is a god walking among mortals. The Thunder Bird glanced at the Wolf King; he could help strengthen Wei Feng¡¯s forbidden items too! He quickly flew to Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder and chirped, ¡°Master! Master! You should try my Thunder Bolt Forging Method too! It¡¯s very effective.¡± Wei Feng smiled, but shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine, we can try again after my [Absolute Zero] wears out.¡± Thunder Bird widened his eyes, ¡°Master, do you mean you can activate it again shortly?¡± ¡°Yeah! It¡¯s pretty easy¡­?¡± Wei Feng looked quizzically at Thunder Bird. Are forbidden items difficult to activate? Thunder Bird looked at the Wolf King, and they both kneeled. They know what to describe Wei Feng now. The Chosen One! ¡­ Early in the morning. Five o¡¯ clock, Jiang Haiyan went out. Her job at Angel Mall is a day shift. So, she won¡¯t be back until noon. So, Wei Feng was alone at home during the day. Wei Feng came to the living room. He summoned all his beasts and fed them beast food ¨C Wei Feng made himself some breakfast as well. The Wolf King prepared a training plan for Wei Feng last night. He suggested Wei Feng to utilise the Dragon Ape¡¯s core ability [Field of Strength] to create a field where Wei Feng can practice ¨C this can accelerate his training and also the Dragon Ape¡¯s training. It¡¯s like killing two birds with one stone. However, before this, Wei Feng intends to finish using [Absolute Zero]. Because if the Wolf King is promoted to Level 10, his attributes will definitely skyrocket. Wei Feng also estimates that using Thunder Bird¡¯s method, he can activate [Absolute Zero] again, and maybe he can also upgrade to Level 10. Wei Feng is also preparing to level his Dark Dragon¡¯s Ape up. As the direct opposite of the Dragon Ape, ever since the Dragon Ape hit Level 6, the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow was quite literally the Dragon Ape¡¯s shadow. As for his Ice Giant, he doesn¡¯t have much plans. Ordinary royal beasts can only absorb the energy from the same forbidden item once. At present, the only forbidden items Wei Feng has to upgrade his beasts are [Absolute Zero]. He has to wait until he obtains a similar forbidden item so that his Ice Giant can finally be upgraded. Seven thirty. Wei Feng sat silently on the sofa in the living room, shirtless ¨C the snowflake pattern on his chest shone with moon-white light. The Wolf King sat across Wei Feng, and adjusted himself as it was cramped. The Wolf King is a Level 9 royal blooded beast, and its willing to become a royal beast for mankind ¨C isn¡¯t that amazing? The Wolf King never thought this day would come. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Wei Feng nervously asked the Wolf King. ¡°Yes.¡± The Wolf King then adjusted his breathing again, then said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s start, master.¡± To be honest, Wei Feng didn¡¯t expect royal beasts to be so nervous when it comes to Forbidden Items. [Absolute Zero] has been used twice before, once when Wei Feng passed out, and once when his Dragon Ape passed out, so it should be fine. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Wei Feng whispered. Wei Feng stretched out his palm and pressed the mark on the Wolf King¡¯s forehead ¨C his snowflake pattern on his left chest suddenly spread out like light passing through a crystal. It¡¯s like the last time his Dragon Ape was healed, except this time, [Absolute Zero] emits bright white moonlight. ¡°Buzz!¡± Light spurts out of his snowflake tattoo and flooded into the Wolf King¡¯s forehead. The Wolf King was immediately enveloped in moon light ¨C like every strand of fur is coated in thick moon light. ¡°Breathe in!¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± The Wolf King used its breathing method. The thick moonlight surrounded his body. Wei Feng closed his eyes and absorbed the energy as well. When his royal beast is strengthened, he feels the effects too. Thunder Bird, Dragon Ape, Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow, and Ice Giant silently stared at the scene before them. The aura of the Wolf King slowly changed. Wei Feng didn¡¯t understand what was happening. Thunder Bird looked on, and his other beasts were filled with dread. ¡­ 3 hours later. A prompt finally sounded, and Wei Feng¡¯s body was suddenly flooding with power again. This was unprecedented ¨C the energy was too much for his body to handle. It hurt. It felt like his body was being shattered. But he survived. The prompt sounding extra clear in his head. Ding! [NOTICE: [Absolute Zero] has been used.] [NOTICE: The Wolf King has been upgraded to Level 10.] [NOTICE: The Wolf King obtained a new core ability [Transformation].] CH 39 Chapter 39: Thunder Bird¡¯s Thunder Bolt Forging Method [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Silver Moon Wolf King Level: Level 10 Attribute: None Strength: 50000 (+15000) Agility: 50000 (+15000) Spirit Power: 50000 (+15000) Passive Abilities: [King of Wolves] ¨C The Wolf King holds dominance over wolf-type royal beasts. If a wolf-type royal beast is two levels lower than itself, it can make them betray its beastmaster. [Sorrow of the Whispering Moon] ¨C The Wolf King absorbs moonlight to strengthen itself, increasing all attributes by 30%. Core Abilities: [Summon: Wolf King] ¨C The Wolf King summons his guards to fight together, Level 9 Silver Moon Priest (5), Level 8 Ghost Wolf Guard (10), Level 7 Blood Wolf Warrior (20). [Silver Moon Domain] ¨C When in his domain, the Wolf King increases all attributes by 50% and is able to use [Silver Moon Blossom] ¨C Increases all attributes of a target by 100%, and doubles recovery abilities. [Silver Moon Bloodline] ¨C The Wolf King comes from a royal bloodline, and he can be strengthened by Forbidden Items with no limit. [Transformation] ¨C The Wolf King can mimic other royal beasts he had seen for 5000 seconds at any time. ¡­ After reaching Level 10, it seems like the attributes of the Wolf King were the same values. Counting additional attributes, then the Wolf King has a direct increase of 50000 to all attributes! This power is crazy. Level 10 Beasts are no longer divided into subclasses. This could mean that the Wolf King has already reached its peak. His abilities have been buffed as well as obtaining [Transformation], which could prove useful. He can now transform into any royal beast or creature he sees! This could also mean the Wolf King could transform into a human. ¡­ ¡°Master, how do I look?¡± The Wolf King glowed all over like the full moon. After hitting Level 10, it seemed like the Wolf King has a more beautiful body and smoother body. It¡¯s perfect. Thunder Bird was envious and pushed Wei Feng to begin the Thunder Bolt Forging Method. Wei Feng felt powerful, and agreed. Thunder Bird explained that using this method, it can temper the body to make the power precipitate like lightning, so that this power can be controlled. It¡¯s important that Wei Feng can control this immense power that he now holds. A person who can control this newfound power is like a well-proportioned bodybuilder. And those who can¡¯t control are like fat and bloated people who are unable to walk. This comparison is realistic. Wei Feng quickly agreed ¨C this power in him is like a ticking time bomb. ¡­ ¡°Crackle, crackle.¡± Thunder Bird began its work. Thunder Bird came to a conclusion from yesterday¡¯s observation. That his master is unimaginably powerful, so it is important that he helps his master control this power. Thunder Bird intends to let Wei Feng be baptized by lightning, and forcibly suppress this ¡°ticking time bomb¡± within Wei Feng, so that he may control it. ¡°Boom!¡± Arcs of electricity sprayed from Thunder Bird, and Dragon Ape¡¯s hair were all standing. With no warning, Thunder Bird directly hit Wei Feng with an arc of lightning. It¡¯s a powerful blow. If Wei Feng didn¡¯t share Thunder Bird¡¯s core ability [Electricity Manipulation], this blow could have killed him. Electricity lingered all over his body, surrounding him in a purple fence. Lightning arced out of Wei Feng¡¯s body like water. ¡°Agh¡­¡± Thunder Bird quickly signalled his assistant, Dragon Ape to bring the prepared equipment. Two bare wires that are plugged into a socket. The Dragon Ape held these wires close to Wei Feng, and connected it with Wei Feng. ¡°Fuck!!!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s hair stood up at attention. Manipulating electricity and being electrocuted are both very different feelings ¨C he feels paralyzed. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird spat out an arc of lightning towards Wei Feng. Wei Feng felt like his entire body was frying. ¡°Crackle, crackle¡­¡± Wei Feng¡¯s body periodically shot out arcs of lightning, he looked like a mad scientist with his hairs standing at attention. Thunder Bird continued to spit out arcs of lightning. The electric metres in the room were whirling like a windmill. Unknown to them, all electricity in the community has been cut out, except for Wei Feng. ¡°Buzz.¡± Wei Feng suddenly felt something occur. The power in his body merges into his body homogenously. Electricity bounced within his body, binding power tightly to Wei Feng. Wei Feng felt¡­ magical. He felt like a shepherd ¨C the power in his body is like sheep. Before this, he was without tools, and the sheep were disobedient. This electricity is like a whip, putting the sheep into submission. ¡°That should be enough.¡± Thunder Bird then motioned the Dragon Ape to disconnect the wires. ¡°Crackle.¡± The lightning within his body finally stabilised, still crackling over Wei Feng¡¯s body. Wei Feng¡¯s body seemingly transformed ¨C his biceps were firm with muscle, and his abs were hard and shone brightly like stones. In mechanics, under the same strength, the smaller the volume, the more powerful a force is. Wei Feng has more than 10000 attributes, all of which are hidden in his small frame. The lightning within his body jumped, and he found that they all gathered towards a place in the body. It¡¯s a position in the human body, known in acupuncture as the ¡°God of Thunder and Lightning.¡± The electricity rushed and condensed in this location, forging Wei Feng¡¯s body. Like a hammer! The electricity was like a hammer, hitting and forging flesh. An hour passed. The lightning had finally calmed down and disappeared, and a crisp prompt sounded in his head. Ding! [NOTICE: E-Tier Forbidden Item [Hammer of Forging] has been obtained.] [NOTICE: You have mastered the Body Forging Method [Voice of Thunder].] [NOTICE: After training your physique, your base strength is now increased by +1000.] ¡­ Wei Feng opened his eyes, arcs of purple electricity arced in his eyes, making his pupils turn lavender. The snowflake tattoo on his left chest was crackling with purple electricity as well. With no hesitation, he used [Absolute Zero] tp upgrade Thunder Bird. Four o¡¯ clock in the afternoon, Thunder Bird has upgraded to Level 10. It¡¯s obvious that it is slightly weaker than Wolf King, since each of its three basic attributes were 10000 less than the Wolf King. A new core ability has been obtained, [Source of Lightning], where it now absorbs electricity in the air to strengthen itself. Wei Feng shares this with Thunder Bird as well. Wei Feng¡¯s panel: [Panel] The Strongest Beast-Master System (Level 2) Name: Wei Feng Age: 16 Rank: Senior beastmaster Strength: 26540 Agility: 23920 Spirit Power: 22490 Power of Control ¨C Advanced: [You share 20% of all attributes with your royal beasts.] Forbidden Items: S-Tier [Absolute Zero] ¨C Evolvable.

Royal Beasts: Level 3 Ice Giant Level 5 Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow Level 6 Dragon Ape Level 10 Thunder Bird Level 10 Silver Moon Wolf King. CH 40 Wei Feng really loves this new attribute panel. These values are double than that of a Level 9 Royal Beast. And it only took a less than a day to reach these values! Now that all of the values are specific values, which means he can now fully control this newfound power. However, if Wei Feng wanted to use all these powers, he is far from ready. Being able to control it doesn¡¯t mean that he can use it effectively! He needs to find out how to use these powers. Using the methods from the Wolf King and Thunder Bird, he practices every day. The Dragon Ape¡¯s [Field of Power] also helps Wei Feng to practice for at least an hour every day. In this case, Wei Feng will have to practice for at least half a month before he can exert 50% of his strength. This means that he isn¡¯t looking to throw a punch using all his strength, but using his strength to his fullest. With the same strength, who would win? A professional boxer or an ordinary boxer. It¡¯s pretty obvious. ¡­ At six o¡¯ clock in the afternoon, Jiang Haiyan finally came back. She summoned her golden retriever, ¡°I just came back and I heard there was a power outage! How are the ingredients in the fridge not spoiled yet?¡± Wei Feng just sat on the sofa watching the news, ¡°I don¡¯t think the power outage affected our unit.¡± ¡°Oh, I see,¡± she replies and she retrieves a piece of beef to feed her golden retriever. Although she had broken the first layer of fog in her brain, her Spirit Power hasn¡¯t exceeded 50. Moreover, she doesn¡¯t have the intention of summoning a second royal beast. According to her, she won¡¯t be able to afford to raise it. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Jiang Haiyan changed into her slippers and sat on the sofa to watch TV. A short banner was then broadcasted on the TV: ¡°Yancheng Serial Killer ¨C 27 victims, including 5 senior beastmasters with Level 7 Beasts.¡± ¡°Oh my god, this again¡­¡± Jiang Haiyan quickly looked away. Wei Feng noticed that one of the killings took place not far from their community ¨C near the royal beast ration store that Wei Feng visits. ¡°I¡¯m going to make dinner; I can¡¯t watch this.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help,¡± Wei Feng added, as he turned off the TV. Soon, the kitchen is filled with the smell of food. Jiang Haiyan noticed that Wei Feng¡¯s body had become extraordinarily strong, exuding a charismatic aura that makes people¡¯s heart flutter. She couldn¡¯t help but want to get close to him. She keeps fanning herself with her hands, her face constantly red like a tomato. Wei Feng continues to feast on food meant for way more people. Jiang Haiyan is still surprised. She keeps thinking that it¡¯d be better if Wei Feng doesn¡¯t have that big of an appetite. After dinner, she suggested walking the dog. Wei Feng glanced at the Wolf King, and nodded in agreement. ¡°Woof!¡± The Wolf King acted as a dog professionally, and started to howl, trailing behind Wei Feng closely. Thunder Bird also rested on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder and let out a ¡°Caw!¡± Judging by appearance, no one could tell these were Level 10 Beasts! The midsummer days were long ¨C it¡¯s almost 7 o¡¯ clock evening, but the sky was still bright red. Birds can be found in overgrown flower beds, feasting on worms. In the pavilion, the old men were still playing chess. ¡°Aha! I caught your king.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t count! I didn¡¯t see it clearly!¡± ¡°Nope. You lost! Hahaha!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng and Jiang Haiyan walked in the soil between the flower beds, the Wolf King ran straight ahead wagging his tail, and her golden retriever trailed close behind him. ¡°Look! They are just like brothers.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ There¡¯s a hidden message behind her words. Several aunties then walked past them and made small talk with Jiang Haiyan, ¡°Haha! My girl, it seems like you have found yourself a handsome boyfriend!¡± ¡°I told you she had it in her! Look at him, isn¡¯t he young!¡± ¡°At most, 16 years old?¡± An auntie studied Wei Feng closely. Wei Feng glanced at Jiang Haiyan, waiting for her to explain, but he didn¡¯t expect her to go, ¡°Haha! It¡¯s nothing, you¡¯re too nice!¡± ¡°Haha, it seems like our girl is still shy.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± ¡°She¡¯s just like me when I was young.¡± ¡­ Wei Feng felt helpless watching those aunties walk away. Jiang Haiyan explained, ¡°It¡¯s useless trying to explain to them! Let¡¯s go! Our dogs have run away!¡± She then ran forward. Wei Feng glanced at Thunder Bird, and petted him. ¡°Chirp!¡± A crisp chirp! After the dog walking, the two returned home. Wei Feng was about to go back to his room, but the doorbell suddenly rang. Jiang Haiyan went to answer it ¨C a worker in overalls with a messenger bag on his left shoulder and a mini ladder stood right outside the door. ¡°Good evening, miss. We are here to investigate your electricity consumption. According to our records, your unit consumed a lot of electricity during noon during the power outage. We are here to find out why that happened,¡± the worker explained. ¡°Oh! Alright.¡± Jiang Haiyan replied, then stepped aside, ¡°Come on in, the electric metre is right there.¡± Wei Feng stood right at his door, worrying. The metre might give him away. Sure enough, after a short investigation, the worker made a phone call. Soon, three more people came. One men-in-black interrogated Wei Feng, but he swiftly denied all claims with confidence. In the end, the other parties couldn¡¯t find a concrete reason as per why the electricity consumption was so high that day. They chalked it up to a equipment failure since the value on the metre was so high. The man-in-black ordered the workers to replace the meter, and left. Wei Feng sighed. He managed to escape paying a high electricity bill. He is short of money now. Feeding him and his beasts ¨C the cost is almost 10000 yuan a day. Wei Feng needs to find a job, or he might end up homeless. Night time. Wei Feng practiced the Wolf King¡¯s breathing method under the moon light by his window. This breathing method can upgrade [Spirit World], and the function of this forbidden item is to nurture Spirit Power. It¡¯s vague, so he wasn¡¯t sure what it actually does. ¡°Nurture¡± could imply that his Spirit Power might breed something. And his Spirit Power hasn¡¯t increased after using [Spirit World], but he felt that his Spirit Power was more condensed. ¡°Breathe in.¡± ¡°Breathe out.¡± CH 41 Chapter 41: Ling Xiaoxiao ¡°Breathe out.¡± Wei Feng practiced the breathing technique for an hour, and felt that the square shape of [Spirit World] was transforming into a sphere. Since he had just began his practice, the change was obvious. Then, Wei Feng practiced Thunder Bird¡¯s Forging technique. When the electricity in his body lingered, [Hammer of Forging] activated, infusing countless of tiny little hammers into his blood; beating and hammering. His whole body turned numb, like he was being pricked by countless needles. The pain was unbearable for him. Amidst the pain, Wei Feng remembered the quote: He who wants to master martial arts needs to endure unbearable pain. That quote could not have been truer. The people who succeed and break through in this world have endured far more pain than ordinary people. The body forging technique was also practiced for an hour, and Wei Feng continued his breathing exercises. Just like this, he went back and forth between Wolf King¡¯s and Thunder Bird¡¯s training methods until two o¡¯clock in the night. He then went to bed. He slept soundly. The next morning. At seven o¡¯ clock, Wei Feng was abruptly woken up. The low roar of a luxury vehicle could be heard downstairs. Wei Feng peered from his window. Three limousines that are six metres long donning a triangular logo on the front of the car was parked downstairs. A man-in-black walked to the middle car and opened the door ¨C a tall woman wearing perfectly ironed white pants, an off-white shirt, and a small black coat draped over her shoulders stepped down. Without a doubt, Wei Feng knew they were looking for him. It¡¯s an intuition! They walked into the building, and Wei Feng got up and left his room and walked to his unit¡¯s door to wait for them. Three minutes later, sure enough, he could sense they were at the front of his door. Just as one of the men-in-black wanted to knock, the door suddenly opened. He was stunned, then glanced at Wei Feng who was standing at the door. The woman then spoke, ¡°Ah! Mr. Wei! Forgive me for disturbing you so early in the morning!¡± Wei Feng smiled and turned around, ¡°Come in. Let¡¯s talk.¡± The men-in-black were about to escort her inside, but was stopped by Wei Feng. ¡°I remember only inviting her to come inside.¡± ¡°You little-¡° One of the men was about to get angry, but the woman quickly said, ¡°All of you. Wait outside.¡± The men glared at Wei Feng, but stepped aside and let the woman in. The woman swiftly walked in, and Wei Feng closed the door. ¡°Please sit.¡± Wei Feng walked into the living room and threw aside Jiang Haiyan¡¯s pile of clothes on the sofa, and asked, ¡°What would you like to drink? We only have boiled water here.¡± The woman smiled. ¡°A glass of water it is then.¡± Wei Feng went to pour a glass of water. The woman glanced at the things around the room ¨C when she saw Jiang Haiyan¡¯s clothes scattered on the floor, her brows wrinkled. Jiang Haiyan¡¯s door opened. She was dressed in pyjamas; her hair was messy. She walked to the kitchen was yawning. Just as she was pouring a glass of water to drink, she suddenly noticed the woman sitting on the sofa and was stunned. She thought she was dreaming and pinched herself. She then rubbed her eyes and took a closer look at the woman on the sofa. ¡°Oh my god! President! It¡¯s the president!¡± Jiang Haiyan was shocked. Wei Feng, who had just poured a glass of water, found the expression on her face was exceptionally wonderful. Jiang Haiyan ran to her room with a speed that could rival Usain Bolt, and closed the door with a loud bang. Wei Feng put the glass down. ¡°Don¡¯t mind her, she hasn¡¯t woken up yet.¡± Judging by the woman¡¯s expression, Wei Feng noticed she wasn¡¯t surprised. It seemed that she knew Wei Feng and Jiang Haiyan were living together. ¡°My name is Ling Xiaoxiao, the current president of Yancheng Angel Mall.¡± Wei Feng then understood that this was the woman who Jiang Haiyan spoke to the other day on the phone. ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°What are you here for then?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said bluntly, ¡°I want to hire you as my personal bodyguard. Your wage is 30000 yuan per day.¡± ¡°Bodyguard?!¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect this. ¡°Yup!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao nodded. At this time, Jiang Haiyan rushed out of her room, donning a professional suit. She quickly came to Ling Xiaoxiao and asked respectfully, ¡°President! What are you doing here this early in the morning?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at her, and said coldly, ¡°I wasn¡¯t looking for you today.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Jiang Haiyan was stunned, then looked at Wei Feng. She put two and two together, then turned around and returned to her room. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes fell on Wei Feng, and offered, ¡°I will provide food and accommodation too, including food for your royal beasts.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Wei Feng felt like he was cornered into accepting this deal. Spirit Power was not the same as IQ. He felt completely helpless by the other party. Wei Feng simply smiled, ¡°Seems like you came here fully expecting me to accept the deal.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a dimple. There wasn¡¯t a lot of makeup on her face ¨C she was a natural beauty. Such beauty that would make one¡¯s heart flutter. Wei Feng estimated that she was younger than Jiang Haiyan, maybe 20 years old. ¡°Before I came here, I had a little bird collect some of your personal information,¡± she then took out a small black box from her pocket and placed it on the table. A projection then appeared. Wei Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. She did her research on him. Even his blood type and hobbies he didn¡¯t know he had was investigated. Her eyes fell on Wei Feng, ¡°Of course, some of this information may be inaccurate ¨C but seeing you now in flesh and blood with my own eyes¡­ I don¡¯t need this information at all. I want to hire you.¡± Seeing that Wei Feng was speechless, she continued, ¡°You have no reason to not accept my offer ¨C you¡¯re broke. Your expenses on royal beast food are at least 8000 yuan per day, not including yourself, so within a few days¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Wei Feng interrupted her. He didn¡¯t like hearing people sharing his personal information. There¡¯s no doubt that Wei Feng would accept this offer, but he needed to understand the terms and conditions before agreeing. If she is willing to pay such a high price for him to be her bodyguard, then she must be in danger. He should be very cautious. ¡°I accept, but¡­¡± He stared at Ling Xiaoxiao. ¡°I need to know the conditions behind this deal.¡± CH 42 Chapter 42: The President¡¯s Bodyguard?! Turns out, the recent serial killings in Yancheng were closely related to Ling Xiaoxiao. She might be the next target. The five senior Beastmasters that were murdered were all close confidants of Ling Xiaoxiao. Wei Feng frowned. The victims were all senior Beastmasters who are all experienced and strong in terms of royal beasts. This job is dangerous! Wei Feng asked her, ¡°So, what makes you think I can protect you?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, and wordlessly reached out and swiped on the projected screen. A picture of Wei Feng standing at the entrance of Angel Mall ¨C the Wolf King beside him, and Thunder Bird perched on his shoulders. Ling Xiaoxiao pointed at the Wolf King and said, ¡°If I guess correctly, then this must be the Silver Moon Wolf King.¡± ¡°And this right here, must be Thunder Bird.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao leaned back into the sofa and explained, ¡°For a royal beast to change its size at will, then it must be a royal beast that is Level 9 or above!¡± Okay. Wei Feng felt that she knew him better than himself. But Wei Feng was still curious, ¡°With your status, it isn¡¯t difficult to find other Beastmasters with Level 9 Royal Beasts to protect you. Why me?¡± Indeed, as the president of Angel Mall, she can be considered as one of the most powerful people in Yancheng. Ling Xiaoxiao blinked, and pointed to the projection, ¡°With your royal beasts, don¡¯t you think you are a perfect bodyguard?¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Wei Feng looked at the projection and scoffed, ¡°A dog and a bird?¡± To the untrained eye, by looking at the picture, one would think that they were in fact, a dog and a bird. And if Wei Feng put on a suit, it would look like a security guard patrolling with their dog! Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng nodded anyways, ¡°So when do I start? Do I need to sign a contract of some sort?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao got up from the sofa, and placed a card on the table, ¡°You start now. This card contains today¡¯s salary. It can be used after you verify yourself with the bank.¡± ¡°Really? So, I don¡¯t need to sign a contract?¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised, but took the card on the table anyways. ¡°Contacts are a waste of time and paper. Do as I say.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Wei Feng nodded. He agreed with her. Ling Xiaoxiao was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and walked towards Jiang Haiyan¡¯s door, ¡°I¡¯m going to take Wei Feng away. Since I¡¯m concerned for your wellbeing too, I will arrange additional residence for you in Angel Mall. You can move in whenever.¡± Jiang Haiyan immediately opened the door and quickly bowed and thanked her, ¡°Thank you, President! Please, take care and stay safe.¡± Wei Feng shook his head as he witnessed this scene. Rich and powerful people are a whole different world. Ling Xiaoxiao walked to the door, and waited for Wei Feng to walk past her. Wei Feng was originally lagging behind her, but when he saw her actions, he immediately understood his role, and went up to open the door for her. His movements were smooth and natural, like he was born to be a bodyguard. Ling Xiaoxiao nodded lightly, and walked out. As she was walking out, Wei Feng looked back at Jiang Haiyan, who immediately smiled and waved him off. Even though she was smiling, she looked a bit sad. He followed Ling Xiaoxiao downstairs, and shook his head when he saw the three luxury cars. Ling Xiaoxiao sat in the back seat of the middle car without closing the door ¨C she then turned to look at Wei Feng. Wei Feng immediately understood her intentions and carefully got into the car and sat as far away from her as possible. When the men-in-black saw Wei Feng enter the same car as Ling Xiaoxiao, they were jealous and were filled with hatred. ¡°Vroom vroom!¡± The cars started, and drove out of the community. Wei Feng was sitting right next to a beautiful president ¨C a clich¨¦ often referenced in novels ¨C not to mention, he is the bodyguard of the beautiful president! This plot is so old-fashioned. ¡­ Touching the leather seat and crystals that decorated the interior of the car, Wei Feng asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid I might get blinded by riches offered by other people and turn on you?¡± As soon as Wei Feng said this, the car shook suddenly. The driver was frightened by his words. Ling Xiaoxiao just answered helplessly, ¡°If you really are that kind of person, I wouldn¡¯t have hired you.¡± The car shook again. Wei Feng glanced at her curiously ¨C how could she be so sure he was a good person? Ling Xiaoxiao explained, ¡°Well, you have a Level 9 Royal Beast, and yet you still pay for your royal beast¡¯s food in a self-service store. That¡¯s too honest of you ¨C I don¡¯t think you are a bad person.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng blinked. He was speechless. Although it seemed like she was admiring his character, he felt like he was being made fun of. From what she said, does that mean if you are strong, you can just do as you please with no repercussions? The biggest difference between man and beast is reasoning. Compared to stealing stuff to get his necessities, Wei Feng would rather find an honest job to support himself. Especially with his power, he needs to suppress all of his bad thoughts. To be a human being, one must behave like one. ¡­ After an hour. The vehicle drives into the underground garage of Angel Mall. After the car stopped, Wei Feng opened the door and got out of the car. He used his Spirit Power to scout the surroundings and noticed something was amiss. There were flunctuations in energy just two hundred meters away from them. Wei Feng quickly pushed Ling Xiaoxiao back into the car and asked, ¡°Your car should be able to withstand a bombing, right?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± It was the first time Ling Xiaoxiao was so rudely pushed back into the car, but before she could reprimand him, she noticed a spark not too far from their car. Wei Feng quickly shut the door ¨C the moment the door closed, a loud bang, accompanied by a blazing fire erupted in the garage. The garage was bombarded with fiery flames and explosive barrages ¨C Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s car was flung and it slid out more than ten meters, hitting a white van. Thankfully, her car was specially modified ¨C after such a violent attack, only the front windshield was slightly cracked. Wei Feng turned his head and looked forward ¨C seven people descended from a vehicle, and moon-white symbols and arrays started to light up in front of him! CH 43 Chapter 43: An Endless Battle!! This is insane. Wei Feng did not expect that he had to leap into action as soon as he accepted the job. He felt that he needed to request for commission from Ling Xiaoxiao. ¡­ ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Woo~¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Bark!¡± The majestic royal beast stepped out one by one from their star arrays. Scaled lions, blood wolves, flame trolls, giant dogs¡­ Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s men-in-black shouted from behind Wei Feng: ¡°Protect the president!¡± ¡°Quick! Call security! We need backup!¡± ¡°Newcomer, summon your royal beast!¡± ¡­ Looking back, the men-in-black had already summoned their royal beasts. Ling Xiaoxiao took refuge in the car, but she was still looking at the scene before her. Wei Feng understood his role. To be paid 30000 yuan a day, he needed to prove that he was worth the price point. Wei Feng stretched out his palm, more than 400 summoning symbols appeared at the same time ¨C Wolf King was summoned. The Wolf King remained in his small, dog-like size. ¡°Caw, caw!¡± Thunder Bird also flew out of the star formations, still the size of a pet bird, and perched himself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder. Wei Feng quickly whispered to Thunder Bird, ¡°Protect Ling Xiaoxiao.¡± Thunder Bird spread its wings and perched itself on the car. Even if his dog and bird were Level 7, what good can they do with their small size? ¡°Attack!¡± On the opposite side, the senior Beastmasters saw Wei Feng summon a ¡°dog¡± to hinder all of them. They sneered. ¡°Roar!¡± The Scaled Lion on the right roared and rushed towards the Wolf King, who was standing in front of Wei Feng. However, the Blood Wolf leapt into battle too, and bit at the Scaled Lion¡¯s right leg. ¡°Roar!¡± The lion roared out in pain and fought the blood wolf instead. The senior Beastmasters were dumbfounded, and the six other Beastmasters stared angrily at the owner of the blood wolf. ¡°Traitor!¡± The owner of the scaled lion beast roared out, and punched the owner of the blood wolf. ¡°I didn¡¯t-¡° He didn¡¯t have time to explain and was swiftly subdued by the other senior Beastmasters. ¡°You better command your blood wolf to stop, or don¡¯t blame me for ruining you.¡± The owner of the scaled lion then took out a dagger and placed it on the neck of the blood wolf owner. He was stunned and immediately shouted to stop his blood wolf, but it didn¡¯t work at all ¨C the blood wolf was too engrossed in battle. The owner of the flame troll then looked at Wei Feng before his face turned dark. ¡°Stop this fighting! That guy¡¯s beast is the Silver Moon Wolf King!¡± the flame troll¡¯s owner yelled out. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°The Level 9 Silver Moon Wolf King¡­¡± the blood wolf owner exclaimed. ¡°Awoo!¡± The Wolf King howled. Everyone: ¡­ Giant Dog: ? ¡°Leave the two beasts! We need to retreat!¡± The flame troll¡¯s owner shouted and unsummoned his beast. They then quickly boarded their vehicle and started. Everyone quickly unsummoned their beasts, except for the scaled lion and blood wolf who were still fighting. Seeing that they were about to escape, Wei Feng quickly ordered his Wolf King: ¡°Get them. But don¡¯t kill them.¡± ¡°Awoo!¡± The Wolf King howled with excitement, then transfigured itself into a silver light and rushed out. This is the first time Wei Feng would see his Wolf King in battle. Don¡¯t judge a book by its cover. The Wolf King rushed towards the car, and swung a paw ¨C the vehicle was flung into a 90-degree angle, and crashed to the ground. ¡°Roar!¡± The scaled lion got off the blood wolf and rushed towards the Wolf King. ¡°Boom!¡± The Wolf King transformed into a silver light again, and rushed towards the lion ¨C the lion flew back from the impact, knocking over three cars before laying lifelessly. In front of the overturned vehicle, the Giant Dog was about to be summoned. However, the Wolf King, as if he teleported, appeared in front of the star formation and swung his paw ¨C the Giant Dog had not completely stepped out of the formation. ¡°Slice!¡± The formation was broken. The Giant Dog was sliced cleanly in half, the scent of bloody dog meat instantly filled the underground garage. ¡°Woo¡­ woo!¡± The dying screams of the Giant Dog shook the hearts of the people in the vehicle. Not many people have seen Level 9 beasts ¨C they didn¡¯t expect them to be this powerful! If they were told that the Wolf King was actually Level 10, how would they feel? The battle ended as soon as it started. A dead Giant Dog, a seriously injured lion and wolf. Security soon arrived, and they arrested the seven people in the vehicle. Wei Feng calmly walked towards Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s car and opened the door for her. She was very satisfied with Wei Feng¡¯s performance ¨C no, she should be impressed with the performance of the Wolf King. He then followed Ling Xiaoxiao to the 51st floor of Angel Mall. This is the top floor of Angel Mall ¨C it is also the president¡¯s office. A room on the right was luxuriously decorated, with extremely huge floor-to-ceiling windows ¨C most of Yancheng could be seen from this view. This room alone was about 600 to 700 square metres, in addition to a separate bathroom, dressing room, lounge, gym, and a flower room. This was the first time Wei Feng has even seen something this luxurious and grand, so he was curious about everything. Ling Xiaoxiao sat at her desk ¨C the set of off-white office chairs looked minimalistic. She didn¡¯t seem too phased by the attack just now, and was examining the account book in front of her. Wei Feng felt weird ¨C he couldn¡¯t believe they were still using traditional methods to keep their accounts. Shouldn¡¯t they be recorded using a computer? Wei Feng didn¡¯t ask to clarify, though. He sat down and turned his back to Ling Xiaoxiao and continued training his breathing method. Although practicing this in board daylight isn¡¯t effective, diligence can make up for it ¨C he can still gain a bit of power if he practices it. The Wolf King and Thunder Bird were whispering softly, and Wei Feng eavesdropped. They were talking about him and Ling Xiaoxiao! ¡°Looks like master found a rich woman to take care of him!¡± gossiped Wolf King. Thunder Bird chirped back cheerfully, ¡°Mmhmm! This environment is good.¡± ¡­ Wei Feng¡¯s face darkened. A sugar mommy? He was doing serious work, okay! He was a bodyguard! Wei Feng wanted to argue with them, but kept quiet. ¡­ After practicing for two hours, it was time for lunch. Ling Xiaoxiao stood up and announced, ¡°Come on, it¡¯s time for lunch.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Feng responded and got up immediately. He was very hungry. CH 44 Chapter 44: Invisible Forbidden Items A well-decorated room was inside ¨C a man sat on a burgundy leather sofa, and he was watching the battle that unfurled in the underground garage of Angel Mall. The man was obviously not very happy. ¡°These idiots!¡± The man cursed, then quickly made a call, ¡°Let go of Ling Xiaoxiao for now.¡± ¡­ The 45th floor of Angel Mall. This is where the employees of Angel Mall eat ¨C Ling Xiaoxiao eats here too, but she has a separate place for herself. Wei Feng followed Ling Xiaoxiao, looking at the dozens of dishes on the table. In addition to the plethora of dishes, there was also food specially made for royal beasts. Compressed dried meat, fruit, various vegetables¡­ Ling Xiaoxiao summoned her own beast. A hexagram. An elf-woman donning sky-blue armor, and a delicate long bow strapped to her back ¨C long purple hair like a waterfall stepped out of the hexagram. Wei Feng widened his eyes. This was too beautiful! He was referring to the suit of armor. After summoning the elf, Ling Xiaoxiao drew a pentagram and summoned a graceful dog with golden fur. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s golden retriever actually had combat capabilities akin to a Level 3 Beast! Its paws were armed with beast-fighting gear, and they looked as if they were made of pure gold. The golden retriever proudly stood tall and wagged its tail, but within the next moment, it cowered in fear. Wei Feng understood why. He tapped the Wolf King¡¯s head, warning it to not bully the weak. Ling Xiaoxiao could care less, though, ¡°It¡¯s fine. The level between my royal beast and yours is obvious ¨C it isn¡¯t that bad to let my golden retriever be under your Wolf King. Maybe it can learn a thing or two.¡± ¡°Woof!¡± The Wolf King barked in excitement. The golden retriever was stunned for a moment, and immediately moved to the Wolf King¡¯s side with its tail tucked in between its legs. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s words were final. Then, he glanced at the elf. Ling Xiaoxiao noticed his gaze, and refused, ¡°Nope. She doesn¡¯t need your help. My elf has the royal bloodline in her ¨C she will be able to obtain Level 7 soon enough.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng responded, feeling a bit of pity. But after hearing that she had royal blood in her, he couldn¡¯t help but peer into her details. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Elf Level: Level 6 (Advanced) Attribute: Wood Strength: 1650 (+825) Agility: 2100 (+1100) Spirit Power: 1740 (+870) Feiyuena¡¯s Bloodline: The royal bloodline of the elves increases all attributes by 50% Core Ability: [Precise Archery] ¨C Elves are naturally talented at archery ¨C they can accurately aim at anything they can perceive. Royal Beast Armor: [Level 4 Blue Armor] ¨C Resists 1500 points of Strength. [Level 4 Elf¡¯s Longbow] ¨C Increases armor penetration by 1000. ¡­ It really is a royal blooded elf. Moreover, it had extremely strong blood ¨C having all your attributes increased by 50%, coupled with its beast armor, it can completely destroy a Level 7 Royal Beast! Wei Feng¡¯s views on Ling Xiaoxiao changed. This woman is amazing! If Wei Feng didn¡¯t have The Strongest Beastmaster System and so many Forbidden Items, he wouldn¡¯t be able to be compared to Ling Xiaoxiao. After having lunch, Wei Feng felt like he needed to work harder. Ling Xiaoxiao left, but she didn¡¯t go back to her office, and came to the 49th floor instead. This is Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s private gym. Every afternoon, she comes here to meditate to open up her brain and train her beasts. While she practiced, Wei Feng did too. Consciousness is concentrated in his brain, his E-Tier Forbidden Item [Spirit World] floats idly in the center of his brain ¨C all of his Spirit Power is concentrated in it ¨C it can instantly map out the Spirit Power when used, and withdraw it in an instant. Although Wei Feng understood the principle of [Spirit World], he didn¡¯t understand the mechanics behind it. [Ruined Symbol] has long been activated. Wei Feng has also opened up the fifth layer of fog in his brain the past two days, and he is about to break it. He intends to use [Ruined Symbols] to open up the next fog barrier as well. He spends 3 hours a day trying to break through the fifth layer of fog. His current spirit power was too powerful, all thanks to [Spirit World]. ¡°Buzz!¡± Wei Feng concentrated his power, and broke through the fifth layer of fog. Ding! [NOTICE: You have successfully opened up the fifth layer of fog. Your Spirit Power improves.] ¡­ After the fifth layer of fog was broken, his brain expanded, and [Spirit World] also underwent changes. In terms of Spirit Power, it increased by 300. He didn¡¯t stop, and tried to break through the 6th layer of fog. Ding! [NOTICE: You have successfully opened up the sixth layer of fog and your Spirit Power is improved.] [NOTICE: You have generated D-Tier Forbidden Item [Abyss Peek].] ¡­ After the sixth layer of fog was broken, a forbidden item was generated. This made Wei Feng excited, and hurriedly checked the function of the forbidden item. [Forbidden Items] Name: Abyss Peek Grade: D-Tier Type: Auxiliary Function: Probe into a person. [3 uses per 24 hours] ¡­ Wei Feng: ¡­? Wei Feng was dumbfounded. What does it mean? Probe? Into a person? I can see through them? Wei Feng gave it a try and glanced towards Ling Xiaoxiao, who was meditating. ¡°Fuck!¡± Wei Feng was petrified. He averted his eyes, his heart beating violently. He could really see through a person¡­ Their ribs, their heart, their spleen, their lungs¡­ everything. An ugly scene. Wei Feng shook his head ¨C this is too much. You need to be able to stomach the scene to use this forbidden item. 4 pm. Ling Xiaoxiao went back to her office to deal with some matters, and at 6 pm, they left Angel Mall. The previous car has been replaced with a new one, and they sat in the back again. In the middle part of the limousine, the Wolf King and Golden Retriever were sitting together. The vehicle shuttled through the bustling downtown, and entered the Fenglinwan Community twenty minutes later. It stopped in front of Villa No.7. Wei Feng got out of the car alongside the Wolf King and the Golden Retriever. Ling Xiaoxiao stepped out shortly after. He followed her into the villa, and the housekeeper had already prepared dinner. Ling Xiaoxiao ordered a lot of food in advance, as well as red wine, Ling Xiaoxiao asked Wei Feng to accompany her to eat ¨C he had no reason to refuse. He picked up a bowl and a pair of chopsticks and was prepared to devour a lot of food, and Ling Xiaoxiao greeted him with a glass of red wine. ¡°Thank you for today,¡± she then took a sip of red wine. Wei Feng scratched his head humbly, and drank a sip of red wine too, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. It is my job to protect you after all.¡± Wei Feng¡¯s impression of Ling Xiaoxiao was good now. He thinks she is a trustworthy person. And there is a plethora of good food on the table! He chowed all the fancy food down. CH 45 Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s villa was huge. A room on the far left was 15 metres high and was oval shaped ¨C it was the size of a basketball court. After dinner, Ling Xiaoxiao would practice in this room. Wei Feng summoned his Dragon Ape, Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow and Ice Giant to let them move around. Ling Xiao was surprised that Wei Feng had so many royal beasts, but didn¡¯t ask anything. She understood that Wei Feng kept some secrets. 10 o¡¯ clock at night, Ling Xiaoxiao went to bed. Wei Feng¡¯s room was next to hers ¨C at her request, the Wolf King guarded the front of the villa, while Thunder Bird took watch on the roof. ¡­ Wei Feng went to sit on the lawn and basked in the moonlight, practicing the Wolf King¡¯s breathing technique until 2 o¡¯ clock in the midnight. He went and laid on his big and soft bed, and wondered if Ling Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep, so he raised his head and used his Forbidden Item to let him see through things. The entire villa immediately became transparent ¨C he could even see the road outside the villa. Wei Feng was speechless. This item seems a bit hard to control and make use of. At the same time, this item can¡¯t be used to strengthen a royal beast. Even though they are the best things used to strengthen beasts, that doesn¡¯t mean every forbidden item is used to strengthen beasts! Early in the morning. Five thirty-five. An alarm sounded in Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s room, and woke Wei Feng up too. Now that his Spirit Power is extremely high, his need for sleep was getting lower. If he wanted to, he can continue being awake for several days on end. At six o¡¯ clock, Wei Feng sat at the dining table and waited for food. Ling Xiaoxiao packed her things and came out of her room ¨C she sat opposite Wei Feng and took a sip of milk and watched as he gobbled up his food ¨C she picked up a piece of bread while witnessing the scene in front of her. Seeing his appetite, her views on Wei Feng have changed. No matter who it is, the food consumed is proportional to someone¡¯s Strength value. The human body extracts calories from food to maintain their daily activities, and if they eat more than needed to, they will feel bloated and sick. Everyone can confirm this feeling. And if they don¡¯t eat properly, they will feel hungry and they will want to eat more. Wei Feng seems insatiable. Ling Xiaoxiao approximately calculated Wei Feng¡¯s calorie intake last night, and calculated that Wei Feng¡¯s Strength is probably over 10000! She was shocked at this value. How can a human being reach this level of strength? Even breaking a strength value of 1000 is impossible. It¡¯s just like a fairy-tale. But it is true ¨C if Wei Feng is eating this much, then his strength is definitely over 10000. This made Ling Xiaoxiao recall her assassination attempt ¨C when an energy bomb was set off and she was shoved into the car, Wei Feng was outside the car ¨C but he was unscathed. At the same time, being able to have two Level 9 royal beasts ¨C not to mention, the beasts are incredibly humble and listen to anything he says ¨C this made Ling Xiaoxiao believe her own assumption. She looked at Wei Feng. This value could be way higher too! She suddenly thought of something. Her face contorted into shock ¨C she remembered when she had someone investigate Wei Feng¡¯s background, they relayed that he was from Yangtze. Yangtze! Wasn¡¯t there a legendary item in Yangtze?! Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s heart was pounding. She has never been so excited before! But the legendary item in question does not belong to her, what is she getting excited for? Ling Xiaoxiao blurted out, ¡°Do you have [Power of Control] on you?¡± ¡°Huh?!¡± Wei Feng was in the process of gulping his porridge, and spat it all out in an instant. He looked at her in horror. What¡¯s going on? How did she suddenly know that he had [Power of Control]? Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, ¡°So I was right!¡± Was she simply guessing? Wei Feng was dumbfounded. How could she possibly guess?! She¡¯s too smart! Ling Xiaoxiao explained that she calculated Wei Feng¡¯s calorie intake, then used it to approximate his strength value. Hearing her explanation, Wei Feng widened his eyes. He really didn¡¯t expect that his secret would be exposed from eating! The bread in his hand was no longer as fragrant as it had been. Ling Xiaoxiao got worried, and asked, ¡°You¡¯re¡­ not going to kill me, are you?¡± Wei Feng was amused. Did she not think of this before? She should have thought of this when she revealed his secret, it is too late to worry now. Wei Feng shook his head. Although [Power of Control] is a big secret of his, it isn¡¯t big enough to kill someone over. He is confident that with his current strength, he can deal with some of the crisis that arise if his secret leaks. Wei Feng then asked, ¡°So, what are you going to do with me?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°We need to hide you, obviously! Don¡¯t eat too much food in public ¨C I¡¯ll prepare some calorie-dense food for you! And don¡¯t summon too many royal beasts in public ¨C just your Wolf King!¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng blinked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to tell your family and friends that I have this legendary item on me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any reason to tell them,¡± she explained. ¡°It doesn¡¯t benefit me either.¡± Wei Feng absorbed her words carefully ¨C does this mean she only wants him to herself? Six thirty. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s car was parked outside the villa. He went out with her, but recalled what she said to him. Ling Xiaoxiao was blunt ¨C she needs a bodyguard, he needs money ¨C they are suited for each other. But she is also emotional ¨C she is aware of Wei Feng¡¯s special condition. When Wei Feng encounters a big problem, she would be available to talk about it with him. Ling Xiaoxiao has done a perfect job so far in terms of gains and losses and handling things. Ling Xiaoxiao sat closer to Wei Feng in the car. Around seven o¡¯ clock, the vehicle stopped at the gate of Angel Mall. Wei Feng sighed in relief when he got out of the car. He followed her to her personal elevator ¨C but the floor button doesn¡¯t lead to the top floor, but the 11th floor. The 11th floor was the shoes and clothing section. Does she want to buy clothes? He followed behind her, and they found themselves in the men¡¯s clothing section. She chose a casual black suit for him. Wei Feng was a little surprised, but was glad he got free clothes. He went to the fitting room to try the clothes on ¨C the price marked on it was 19999. This set of clothes was 20000 yuan?! Wei Feng was extra careful trying it on. Wei Feng looked at himself in the mirror and felt emotional. 20000-yuan worth of clothes¡­ He felt smart and good. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s taste was very good, this suit suited him well. ¡°Good. Try this set now.¡± She stood aside and pointed to several pieces of clothing that the attendant was holding. ¡°More of these¡­?¡± Wei Feng wanted to say these were ridiculously expensive, but kept quiet. So, he tried on everything Ling Xiaoxiao chose. Of course, he took a look at all the prices ¨C the cheapest one was 5999 yuan. These aren¡¯t clothes¡­ this is a robbery! Wei Feng tried about 6 sets of clothing ¨C they all fit well, and reflect different styles when worn. When trying on the last set, Ling Xiaoxiao said, ¡°Alright. You¡¯ll be wearing this today,¡± She then took out a black card and paid the bill. Wei Feng felt flustered ¨C he remembered the Wolf King¡¯s and Thunder Bird¡¯s gossip. ¡°Seems like master found a rich woman to take care of us!¡± He really does feel like a sugar baby. CH 46 If he was being honest, Wei Feng was grateful that Ling Xiaoxiao was keeping his secret and even bought him clothes. This moved him. First moves leave a bigger impression. Ling Xiaoxiao understood this better than Wei Feng, clearly. ¡­ Carrying 100,000-yuan worth of clothes, he followed her to the elevator to the 51st floor. She asked him to put his clothes in the lounge ¨C afterwards, she took out a black card that is rimmed with gold and handed it to Wei Feng. ¡°What is this?¡± Wei Feng wasn¡¯t sure what it was, but still reached out to take the card anyways. ¡°There¡¯s three million in the card ¨C take it, and use it whenever you need it,¡± she said casually. Wei Feng¡¯s palm started to tremble. Before he could refuse, she explained, ¡°As a bodyguard, it¡¯s your job to go out to help me buy food.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng put the card in his pocket. It wasn¡¯t actually his three million. He still felt a little lost. In the morning, Ling Xiaoxiao sat quietly in her desk and dealt with the daily businesses of the mall, while Wei Feng sat on the ground and continued practicing. The Wolf King and Thunder Bird were sitting together and chatting together, the topic unknown. Wei Feng didn¡¯t listen to them chatting to save himself the trouble. At noon, some special dishes were packed. She specially customized this calorie-intense food for Wei Feng ¨C it looked like synthetic meat, and the meat looked as hard as stone. Wei Feng had a good jaw, however. He sadly ate the meat and ate a little bit of ordinary human food and was full. Wei Feng packed the rest of the meat. Afternoon. Ling Xiaoxiao and Wei Feng went to train. In the evening, they returned to the villa ¨C eating, training, and sleeping. And just like that, a day passed. Wei Feng was impressed by Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s self discipline. For three days straight, it was mundane. Life being mundane ¨C this is what it should be like. This world is very big ¨C there may be wonderful and legendary things going on in every corner, but Wei Feng was content. No one would come to trouble him for no reason. Especially after he became the bodyguard of Ling Xiaoxiao ¨C even if he was looking for trouble, it was for Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s sake. After a week passed, Wei Feng has more than 200,000-yuan in his salary card. He gets to save most of the money too since his food and accommodation is being taken care of by his boss. 6 pm. Work was done ¨C Ling Xiaoxiao got up and stretched and said to Wei Feng, ¡°We aren¡¯t eating at home tonight ¨C let¡¯s go to a place only the elites in Yancheng can attend!¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Wei Feng was a bit surprised. Back at the villa, Wei Feng put on a suit bought by his boss, and stood in front of her door. ¡°How about this suit?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao walked out of her room wearing a blue evening dress ¨C the slight V-neck showed off her snow-white skin perfectly. ¡°Very nice!¡± Wei Feng was staring at her snow-white skin, and said honestly. ¡°Alright then!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, and followed Wei Feng out the villa. The event was held at the Sky Blue Hotel in Yancheng ¨C at around 8:30 pm, her car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Wei Feng got out of the car first, then helped her out ¨C they then walked into the hotel lobby. Ling Xiaoxiao informed Wei Feng in the car that not only would he be a bodyguard, but also a male companion. This hotel lobby was exactly like what Wei Feng imagined. Men in suits and leather shoes and women in various evening dresses walked back and forth in the fancy lobby holding wine glasses and chatted with each other. Royal beasts were also present. Some men summoned their most powerful beasts to show off. Some women were holding cute royal beasts. The arrival of Ling Xiaoxiao attracted the attention of many people ¨C many people came over to greet her, and their curious eyes swept over Wei Feng. A woman wearing a cheongsam with a slit on the right side of her thigh strolled towards Ling Xiaoxiao ¨C Wei Feng could tell this woman was condescending. Sure enough, her words were dripping with poison, ¡°Xiaoxiao, your little boy toy here looks good! However, I thought you liked older men more.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ A boy toy? Me? This is outrageous! Ling Xiaoxiao was flustered, but composed herself ¨C she then said, ¡°Ah, yes, Wei Feng, a Senior Beastmaster!¡± ¡°Oh!¡± The woman was surprised, but replied, ¡°How old can he possibly be? A senior Beastmaster? Hah! His beast must just be a Level 7 beast then.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao just smiled. The woman continued chatting with her before leaving. Ling Xiaoxiao whispered to Wei Feng, ¡°She¡¯s Wang Xiaoyu, transferred from the Wang family headquarters.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng nodded. Later, a young man approached and talked with Ling Xiaoxiao. Wei Feng simply stood beside her and continued smiling. Two hours passed, and Wei Feng¡¯s face was beginning to get numb. Events like these are more boring than training. Eleven o¡¯ clock at night. The main event begins. The auction! Wei Feng is witnessing with his own eyes the world of the Elites. ACE Medicines, Beast-Controlling Weapons¡­ these legendary items are like ordinary items in the eyes of rich people. Some of these items are Forbidden Items! According to the auctioneer, the forbidden item was used to treat insomnia, but the auction price was almost 4 million yuan! ¡­ After the auction was over, it was already one o¡¯ clock in the morning. They left the hotel ¨C they drove to a night market, and Ling Xiaoxiao requested the driver to stop. ¡°I¡¯m hungry, let¡¯s go have supper!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng would never reject eating. They walked towards the night market. Most of the stores were closed, but some were opened all night ¨C the lights illuminating the street. Ling Xiaoxiao was walking slowly because of her dress, and the night market was less than clean ¨C she then grabbed Wei Feng¡¯s arm. ¡°Ah! Let¡¯s just go there to eat,¡± she pointed towards a barbeque stand. The owner was a bald man who was grilling skewers. Tables and chairs were placed outside ¨C some young people gathered together to drink, and the smell of barbeque was tempting. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Wei Feng walked with Ling Xiaoxiao. A little girl came up to them, ¡°Big brother, big sister! What do both of you want to eat? We have mutton skewers and beer!¡± She was about eight or nine years old, and her hair tied into two braids ¨C her face was round and flushed red due to the heat. Ling Xiaoxiao loved kids, and replied, ¡°I see! Little one, is this your own store?¡± ¡°Yup!¡± She nodded, then pointed to the bald man, ¡°That¡¯s my dad ¨C he may look scary, but he wouldn¡¯t hurt a fly!¡± Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile. Ling Xiaoxiao smiled too, ¡°Alright then, a hundred mutton skewers and ten bottles of beer!¡± Wei Feng: !! CH 47 Chapter 47: 2 Minutes Is All It Takes For Action To Turn Into Death! The little girl asked, ¡°Big sister, are you sure you can eat a hundred mutton skewers? Our stall¡¯s skewers are quite big!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao nodded, and patted her head, ¡°It¡¯s okay! This big brother over here can eat very well ¨C we won¡¯t waste a single skewer.¡± ¡°Okay! But you have to wait a while!¡± She nodded and turned to leave. Wei Feng got up and went to get beer and opened two bottles. He placed one in front of Ling Xiaoxiao and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to like a place like this.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, then picked up the beer and took a couple of sips. Wei Feng was about to get cups, but when he saw Ling Xiaoxiao directly taking a swig, he shook his head. Beautiful makeup and a high-end evening dress contrasts her current behavior. It was a sight to behold. ¡°Clack!¡± ¡°Clack!¡± The sound of high heels was approaching them. Wei Feng turned his head and saw that a tall and slender woman was walking towards them. Behind her were several men-in-black ¨C they started to draw up summoning symbols. ¡°Ah, what a bother.¡± Wei Feng muttered with a smile on his face. ¡°Attack!¡± As soon as the order was given, a shadow stepped out of the summoning symbol, attacking like a ghost. ¡°Slash!¡± ¡°Slash!¡± The dark shadow appeared behind the group of young people who were busy drinking ¨C blood spurted from their necks; heads were rolling to the ground ¨C they didn¡¯t even realise they were dead. The shadow then swept swiftly towards the bald man and the little girl. ¡°Buzz!¡± A silver-white light flashed, and the Wolf King forced the shadow to retreat to its master. Wei Feng stretched his right hand out, the light in his palm shining. ¡°How great!¡± A familiar voice sounded, ¡°Not bad for a boy toy!¡± The mysterious woman then stepped forward, showing her pearl-white legs as she walked, exuding a dangerous aura ¨C it was Wang Xiaoyu, from the hotel. ¡°Wang Xiaoyu, you are out of your mind.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao sat in her seat, glaring at Wang Xiaoyu. She stopped near Wei Feng, and said, ¡°It¡¯s rare you are willing to give me a chance to fight, so why should I sit idly?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao sneered, ¡°You have no idea who you are facing.¡± Wei Feng: ! Wang Xiaoyu glanced at Wei Feng and his Wolf King, and smiled, ¡°Hah! A Level 9 beast and your boy toy.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng wanted this woman to shut up, especially after she couldn¡¯t stop barking about him being a ¡°boy toy.¡± ¡°Right, where were we, ah-¡° She was about to taunt again, but Wei Feng interrupted her. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Wei Feng stood up and turned his head around, asking Ling Xiaoxiao, ¡°Do you want me to kill them?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao nodded. ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng sat back down in his seat, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, your wish is my command.¡± Wei Feng simply waved his hand. The Wolf King took a deep breath. ¡°Huff¡­ puff¡­¡± A flash of silver light ¨C and the Shadow beast was immediately dispelled into nothing. Then, the cracking of bones and the piercing of flesh could be heard ¨C Wei Feng knew what was happening without looking. Wang Xiaoyu stood in shock; her palm red from the giant slash in her neck. ¡°Ugh!¡± She was unable to form any words ¨C this entire scene from start to finish was only 2 minutes. Ling Xiaoxiao was pale. ¡°Fine. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Feng spoke, and Ling Xiaoxiao quickly stood up ¨C before she could take a step, Wei Feng walked over and carried her, ¡°The ground is dirty ¨C I don¡¯t want to dirty your expensive dress.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao remained silent, but let Wei Feng carry her in his arms. Wei Feng stepped on pools of blood and made a squish noise ¨C Ling Xiaoxiao subconsciously closed her eyes. Wei Feng could tell this was the first time that she had witnessed death in such close contact. It was also his first time. ¡­ The villa. Wei Feng cooked some instant noodles for Ling Xiaoxiao ¨C she seemed hungry, and devoured the bowl of noodles. Wei Feng waited for her to finish, then cleaned up for her. ¡°Can you please talk to me?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao curled up on the sofa. ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng sat on the sofa opposite hers. Ling Xiaoxiao got up and sat beside Wei Feng. She then muttered, ¡°Isn¡¯t life fragile?¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng didn¡¯t know what to say. It was a hard question. ¡°When I was ten years old, my mother died,¡± she said, a hint of depression present in her tone. ¡°Then, when I was twelve, my father died.¡± ¡­ It was very early in the morning. Wei Feng sat on the sofa, continuing his training. The bright white moonlight showered him with clouds of white mist. Last night, Ling Xiaoxiao poured her heart out to Wei Feng, and accidentally fell asleep while talking. Wei Feng covered her with a blanket, and stayed beside the sofa she was sleeping on all night. Ding! [NOTICE: Your E-Tier Evolvable Forbidden Items have upgraded to D-Tier!] [NOTICE: Spirit Power increased by 10%!] [Hint: This increase in spirit power is not shown in the base value.] ¡­ The sudden prompt surprised Wei Feng. After a week of harsh practice, [Spirit World] has upgraded a tier. And with this upgrade, [Spirit Power] increases his spirit power by 10%. It¡¯s a direct increase too, so no matter what the base value is, it will always increase by 10%. In addition, he could feel that the Spirit Power in his brain has changed. [Spirit World] is like an egg. It¡¯s strange, but wonderful. It¡¯s like looking at a baby being nurtured. Wei Feng was looking forward to it hatching. ¡­ He took out his mobile phone to check the news. However, there weren¡¯t any news report on it. Someone must have intentionally covered it up. ¡°Ah.¡± ¡°Ugh¡­ what time is it?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao woke up, and when she saw Wei Feng sitting by her, she couldn¡¯t help but smile. CH 48 Chapter 48: The Goal ¨C Yancheng! Wei Feng and Ling Xiaoxiao had breakfast in a restaurant near Angel Mall. ¡°Ring!¡± ¡°Ring!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s phone started vibrating. She stuffed the bun into her mouth, then wiped her hands before answering. ¡°Hey!¡± ¡­ After their conversation, Ling Xiaoxiao and Wei Feng both frowned. The call was from an elder in her family, and he mentioned the Power of Control. According to rumours circulating among the elites, Power of Control now lies in Yancheng. And it was true! ¡°How could they possibly know?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao frowned. Wei Feng asked, ¡°How would they know where Power of Control is?¡± She shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t know ¨C my family doesn¡¯t even know the person who conveyed the news, but they believe it blindly!¡± ¡°Well.¡± Wei Feng nodded. It was like this when he was in Yangtze ¨C when news broke that Power of Control was no longer in Yangtze, everyone looking for it immediately left. It was as if everyone was puppets controlled by big invisible hands. ¡°I think it should be fine ¨C they don¡¯t know the exact location of Power of Control, and they didn¡¯t mention me. Maybe it was a lucky guess, or they just know it¡¯s here,¡± Wei Feng reassured. ¡­ A day passed. Wei Feng trained normally. He no longer was a junior Beastmaster in Yangtze ¨C he was a senior Beastmaster that had two Level 10 beasts, and he himself was as strong as a Level 9 beast! The Beastmasters who came to hunt the Power of Control will soon be the ones hunted. ¡°Crackle!¡± At night, Wei Feng trained in the living room. Arcs of electricity molded his body, making him feel numb. Thunder Bird¡¯s technique was painful. After intense practice, Wei Feng was able to exert 80% of his body¡¯s strength. This strength was integrated into every inch of his flesh and blood, and he can control this power pretty effectively. In addition, the Wolf King began training Wei Feng¡¯s combat capabilities, reaction time, and coping and coming up with contingency plans in the face of emergency. One o¡¯ clock. Ling Xiaoxiao got up and peered out her window, looking at the young man training hard in the open space of her villa. She couldn¡¯t help but smile. From the moment she learnt that the Power of Control lies in Wei Feng, her attitude towards him changed ¨C she doesn¡¯t know how to feel about Wei Feng, especially after the scene at the night market. She started summoning her own beast. Then, her elf, Zixi, stepped out of the hexagram. ¡°Zixi, what do you think of him?¡± she asked her beast. Zixi peered out the window. This is not the first time her master questioned about the boy. ¡°He¡¯s very powerful!¡± Zixi¡¯s evaluation was simple, but she knows this wasn¡¯t the answer her master was looking for. Sure enough, Ling Xiaoxiao asked again, ¡°Do you think he likes older girls?¡± Zixi remained silent, but replied with something that stunned Ling Xiaoxiao, ¡°Don¡¯t humans have a proverb? Younger women are like gold. I think he follows this proverb as well.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao: ¡­ Early in the morning. Wei Feng was still training. It seems like the only thing he¡¯s focused on is training. Wei Feng pondered for a while. How is he going to continue living in this world? Obtaining eternal life and being the strongest Beastmaster in this world is naturally his biggest goal, but this goal was too far away and it cannot be accomplished overnight. He thought of saving money to buy a house, and maybe get into a relationship, and marry his wife. Wei Feng always longed to be ordinary. Seven thirty. In the same restaurant, Wei Feng and Ling Xiaoxiao had their breakfast by the window. At this time, a familiar figure walked past the window, which surprised Wei Feng. It was Zhang Xiyao! ¡°Did you see someone you recognise?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Wei Feng nodded, and pointed towards her, ¡°Back in Yangtze, she was my deskmate for half a month.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao studied her, then exclaimed, ¡°Very good! I can tell she¡¯s full of youthful energy.¡± Wei Feng: ? What¡¯s going on? Wei Feng remained silent after hearing her words. After breakfast, Ling Xiaoxiao did not go to Angel Mall immediately, but asked Wei Feng to accompany her to walk around the area. To digest the food, as so she said. However, it was obvious Ling Xiaoxiao was looking for something. At 8:30, the two entered Angel Mall. They went to the 51st floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, two men-in-black waited by her door. Wei Feng immediately stepped forward and shuffled Ling Xiaoxiao behind him. Ling Xiaoxiao pulled herself to his ear and whispered, ¡°Damn it. It¡¯s the elders of the Haicheng family ¨C you need to hide yourself.¡± ¡°Hide myself?¡± Wei Feng glanced at her curiously. Worry was painting her face. ¡°Don¡¯t forget ¨C you paid me for a reason,¡± Wei Feng said. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes flashed with gratitude, and nodded at him. Ling Xiaoxiao regained her composure, and walked towards her office door. One of the men opened the door to let her in, but another man blocked Wei Feng from entering. ¡°Ah?¡± The man in front of Wei Feng was a head taller than him, his hand reaching out to stop Wei Feng from entering. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± With a simple push, it was as if the man was hit by a car ¨C he flew more than ten metres to the left, then slammed into the wall! ¡°Don¡¯t move! Another man-in-black took out his pistol ¨C as soon as he lifted the gun, Wei Feng¡¯s palm pressed against the muzzle. ¡°Crack!¡± The pistol shatters. The man was in shocked and looked at Wei Feng with a horrified expression, then was slapped unconscious. Wei Fent felt good. He liked feeling strong, he didn¡¯t like being given orders. Ling Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. Wei Feng¡¯s movements were as if he received professional training ¨C he looked cool! ¡°Right. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Feng pushed opened the door for Ling Xiaoxiao. ¡°Clack!¡± CH 49 Chapter 49: The Figure in the Rain A gun was placed on Wei Feng¡¯s forehead. A crescent-shaped machete rested itself on Wei Feng¡¯s throat. Wei Feng immediately stopped moving, then glanced at the young man aiming the gun on his forehead, and the Shadow Demon holding the machete next to him. He could¡¯ve easily dodged this, but Ling Xiaoxiao was behind him. Ling Xiaoxiao quickly rushed forward and stood in front of Wei Feng, ¡°Ah! Yu, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± The young man sneered and lowered his gun, ¡°Is this person your boyfriend?¡± At this moment, Wei Feng gently stretched out a finger and slowly and firmly pushed the machete by the blade away from his neck. The Shadow Demon, who was 3 metres tall, looked horrified, but Wei Feng lifted his leg instantly. ¡°Crash!¡± The Shadow Demon was kicked to the side, its body slammed into the wall, and cracks appeared in the wall. Yu was shocked, and immediately raised his gun again, but Ling Xiaoxiao kicked him too. ¡°Ugh!¡± Yu¡¯s face immediately turned red, then slowly squatted in pain. Wei Feng glanced at her in surprise. She¡¯s so cruel! ¡°Have you had enough fun?¡± A voice sounded from Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s office chair ¨C a middle-aged man in a red suit spoke, his tone clearly indicated that he was one of the greatest elites. Next to the man was a young man, dressed in black with long bangs covering his left side of his face, looking a little feminine. ¡°For a girl to perform such crude actions, it really ruins the family name!¡± The man¡¯s tone was low, and reprimanded Ling Xiaoxiao. She was angry, but remained silent. ¡°From today onwards, all matters within the Yancheng branch will be controlled by me ¨C grandfather¡¯s orders.¡± ¡°Excuse me?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao immediately argued, ¡°Impossible. Grandfather told me I will always have the final say in the Yancheng branch ¨C no one else is allowed to interfere.¡± ¡°See for yourself.¡± The man snorted coldly, then threw a portable projector on the table. On the screen was an old man, sitting on a mahogany chair, ¡°Xiaoxiao, the Yancheng branch will be handed over to your second uncle for a while ¨C what you have done is very serious, you will be punished.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s feelings became complicated, and wordlessly turned around and went to the elevator. Wei Feng quickly followed her. When Wei Feng left, the man seemed to be relieved, then immediately ordered the young man beside him, ¡°Quick. Go investigate who the man beside her is.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡­ Wei Feng trailed behind Ling Xiaoxiao as she left Angel Mall, but she did not say a single thing. While waiting for the driver, Wei Feng noticed that the young man from the office was not too far away. Wei Feng summoned Thunder Bird discreetly, then whispered some orders to him. Thunder Bird immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Ling Xiaoxiao noticed the scene before her, but remained silent. When the driver arrived, the two got into the car, and the vehicle slowly drove away from Angel Mall. After half an hour. It arrived back at the villa. When she returned home, she locked herself in her room. Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to bother her ¨C he didn¡¯t know how to comfort her anyways. At noon, Thunder Bird returned. Landing on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, Thunder Bird chirped, ¡°Master! That guy was trying to investigate you! Don¡¯t worry ¨C I gave him a short visit ¨C he won¡¯t be able to walk for the rest of his life.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng nodded. Now, he needs to deal with the man in the office ¨C Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s second uncle. But he quickly dropped his idea. He realised that he was no match compared with the elites in this world. In terms of combat power, he believes he can best all of them. Even if her family has a beast beyond Level 10, Wei Feng is confident he can escape from it. He secretly wants to see a beast like that. Because once he sees a beast like that, he can humble himself and think clearly. Around 4 o¡¯ clock in the afternoon, Ling Xiaoxiao finally crawled out of her den. Seeing Wei Feng guarding outside her door, she forced a smile, ¡°Come. Let¡¯s go to drink.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Feng nodded, but suddenly said, ¡°Actually, I know a good place, do you want to follow me?¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± She nodded. Wei Feng didn¡¯t ask her to call her driver ¨C he planned to drive the car himself. In his previous life, he had learned driving skills at his technical school before, he could drive vehicles bigger than this. Ling Xiaoxiao had confidence in him. The two drove out of the villa and drove slowly towards the suburbs. Wei Feng bought beer, barbeque skewers, and some ingredients at a convenience store. Ling Xiaoxiao curiously asked, ¡°Is this for you?¡± Wei Feng loaded the things in the car and said, ¡°Nope! This is to compensate for you not being able to eat barbeque the other night!¡± ¡­ ¡°Vroom!¡± After they left the city, Wei Feng became more confident in driving. Not to mention, Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s car was excellent ¨C he pushed the accelerator and they sped up. ¡°Awoo!¡± The Wolf King stuck his head out the window in the back seat and let out an excited howl. An hour later, in the southern suburbs, about 20 miles away from the Splendid Garden, there was a lake. Wei Feng parked the car on the road beside the lake, then they went down with the items bought from the store ¨C they set up a barbecue in a clearing and placed various ingredients on it. The smell of barbecue soon flooded the air. Night fell, the fire reflected on the lake; the surroundings quiet. Ling Xiaoxiao was giddy ¨C after drinking two cans of beer, her face turned red, and she looked cute. Zixi was also summoned ¨C after drinking a can of beer, the elf was red too. Wei Feng sat on stone, eating his skewers. Obviously, the taste is far from the ones made at a stall. At 10:30pm, Wei Feng took Ling Xiaoxiao back home. When he came back, Wei Feng noticed some suspicious figures around the villa ¨C they wandered around the villa pretending to be normal; their eyes sweeping across the insides of the villa from time to time. Wei Feng understood what needed to be done. He summoned Thunder Bird, and all was quiet. ¡­ Night time. Wei Feng continued training under the bright moon light. He felt somewhat depressed. Yancheng¡¯s sky was covered with a layer of fog. Later on, at night, thunder sounded, lightning crashed. Torrential rain poured upon the city, as if to cleanse to cleanse the city of its corruption. Wei Feng stood in front of the window, admiring the rain. Suddenly, a figure could be seen. It was a human. But it was a human with special abilities! When the rain fell, it seemed to avoid this person ¨C a force field was surrounding this person. If this was an ability of a royal beast, Wei Feng wouldn¡¯t bat an eye. However, this was a human being! This means that this person can extract core abilities from their beast, just like him! Otherwise, how could one explain this?! CH 50 Chapter 50: Tabooist Lightning crashed, illuminating the night. Wei Feng saw the figure approaching, it was extraordinarily tall ¨C it¡¯s aura was oppressive. ¡°Master! It¡¯s a tabooist!¡± The Wolf King appeared beside Wei Feng, and whispered. ¡°A tabooist?¡± Wei Feng was surprised, he never heard of anything of the sort before. The Wolf King Nodded, ¡°We don¡¯t know much about tabooist ¨C we only know they can easily grow to the strength of a Level 10 beast, and have one to three innate abilities.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng frowned. He didn¡¯t have enough information. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird soared into the sky, reverting to his original size. Electricity surrounded his body. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird gathered the static electricity in the air ¨C the electricity made him look terrifying. The figure stopped. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird swooped down, a lightning bolt illuminating the night sky. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was awake and came out of her room. She came to Wei Feng¡¯s side and looked out the window. However, the heavy rain blurred her vision ¨C lightning was continuously crashing. It was impossible to see what was happening. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird chirped, and with unparalled power, slammed into the tabooist and pushed them away. ¡°Buzz!¡± Suddenly, the area around the tabooist distorted ¨C a force broke out, pushing Thunder Bird away. Wei Feng could clearly see the ground by the tabooist was cracked. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird chirped again, electricity spewing out from his mouth. Electricity arced through the rain, but could not penentrate the force field. Wei Feng became worried, and ordered the Wolf King, ¡°Assist Thunder Bird.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The Wolf King ran out. As soon as the Wolf King stepped into the rain, a force field pushed the rain away from him. Ling Xiaoxiao was surprised, ¡°Your Wolf King and Thunder Bird aren¡¯t Level 9?¡± ¡°Yup.¡± Wei Feng nodded without moving his eyes. ¡°Both of them are Level 10.¡± ¡°Level 10 beasts!¡± Ling XIaoxiao couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes. The moonlight bathed and illuminated the Wolf King, his body changing. He was now about 3 metres in length and 1.5 metres in height. He looked majestic and powerful. [Silver Moon Domain] was activated. His attributes are now increased by 50%. In addition, the Wolf King can now use [Silver Moon Blossom], which can increase a target¡¯s attributes by 100% and double their recovery ability. While the rain was pouring, a silver-white flower blessed Thunder Bird. ¡°Boom!¡± The electricity arced violently around Thunder Bird, the electricity arcing around him looking eerily like a disjointed arm. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird chirped, swooping down once again. The tabooist could tell what Thunder Bird was doing, stepping back. It took formation, and clenched its right fist. The surroundings were still, then a terrifying force burst out, crashing into Thunder Bird. ¡°Boom!¡± Electricity exploded from the scene ¨C the electricity swept across a villa nearby, reducing it to rubble instantly. Thunder Bird was unphased, and flew back into the sky. Silver light flickered in the rain ¨C the Wolf King phased towards the tabooist and clawed at it. ¡°Boom!¡± The Wolf King¡¯s attacks may be look elegant, but the power is terrifying. His claws were imbued with moonlight, and the impact broke the silence of the night. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng finally knew what a human cannonball was. The tabooist¡¯s body was flung into the air and smashed into a 20-floor building. The building collapsed immediately. Ling Xiaoxiao was horrified and covered her mouth. ¡°In that building¡­¡± Wei Feng quickly explained, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. There isn¡¯t anyone in that building.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was surprised, but recalled that there was no light in that building. Not only that, the entire community was suspiciously quiet ¨C every house seems empty, no lights illuminated the houses. ¡°Ten buses came half an hour ago. They picked everyone from the community up. Except for us.¡± Wei Feng explained. Ling Xiaoxiao was relieved that there wasn¡¯t any casualties. She was still worried, though. Then, it was an assassination attempt! Moreover, to pick everyone else in the community¡­ were they expecting this? Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at the collapsed building ¨C who was that person? Why are they so powerful? ¡°Boom!¡± In the sky, Thunder Bird swooped down again, carrying a barrage of lightning. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng and Ling Xiaoxiao, who were standing by the window, felt the house shake violently. Wei Feng simply muttered, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± In the distance, a red light flashed in the sky ¨C it was a helicopter. Wei Feng heard the sound of heavy vehicles pulling over too. Whoever was targeting them was expecting this too, it seems. Tonight, he needs to take action. He can¡¯t kill the tabooist. Wei Feng telepathically sent a message to Thunder Bird and the Wolf King to return. The Wolf King shrank back and reported to Wei Feng, ¡°Master! That guy is seriously injured ¨C he won¡¯t be able to do anything for at least half a month.¡± ¡°Good work.¡± Wei Feng nodded, staring at the ruins of the collapsed building. Thunder Bird shrank, and perched himself on the roof. Thunderstorms like these were his favourite. After about ten minutes, rumbling sounds could be heard from the ruins of the collapsed building ¨C and the tabooist walked out of the ruins. There was no longer a menacing aura ¨C he looked embarrassed even! He didn¡¯t dare to approach Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s villa. A vehicle soon came to pick the tabooist up. Wei Feng stood guard and waited until the helicopter left before sitting on the sofa. ¡°My apologies. They are here for me, it seems,¡± Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but conclude. Ling Xiaoxiao was busy grooming the Wolf King¡¯s fur. Ling Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t seem scared, ¡°Don¡¯t apologize. It¡¯s rare to see a battle this intense. After all, I employed you for a reason.¡± Wei Feng unconsciously nodded. Indeed, the battle just now was intense. How a human body can possess such terrifying power ¨C this power is enough to conquer the world! ¡°By the way, do you know what a tabooist is?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°A tabooist!¡± CH 51 Chapter 51: Out of The City ¡°Wait right here.¡± She put on her slippers and ran back to her room ¨C she returned with her tablet shortly. She sat beside Wei Feng and pointed at her tablet, ¡°I found some information on tabooists from my family database.¡± Wei Feng glanced at the tablet. The information was merely just a general gist of a tabooist. ¡°This is¡­¡± Wei Feng thought of Zhang Xiyao. Tabooists are extremely rare ¨C their bodies need to be extremely fit and possess a forbidden item. And by cultivating an extremely fast-evolving royal beast, they can use this forbidden item to transfer the powers and abilities of the beast to themselves, making themselves a tabooist. Of course, this differs from Wei Feng ¨C this forbidden item causes the beast to die! In addition, tabooists are extremely sensitive to forbidden items, and they cannot control any additional forbidden items ¨C this is the price of becoming a tabooist. When Zhang Xiyao left Yangtze, she gave Wei Feng a letter, and she knew that [Absolute Zero] was in Wei Feng¡¯s possession. Wei Feng was confused as per how she knew, but now it¡¯s clear how. She must be a tabooist! Her royal beast can rapidly evolve and she is sensitive to the presence of forbidden items, that means she must be a tabooist. However, she hasn¡¯t transferred the powers of her royal beast to herself. ¡°I get it now!¡± Wei Feng said to himself after reading the information on the tablet. It is extremely difficult to become a tabooist, but the power one can obtain from becoming a tabooist is also amazing. If a senior beast master becomes a tabooist, their strength is equal to that of a Level 10 beast, and that¡¯s the lowest possible power. After a beast master has power equivalent to a Level 10 beast, they can break through the tenth level by devouring three additional Level 10 beasts! Wei Feng glanced at the Wolf King and Thunder Bird. After tonight¡¯s battle, he is sure that Yancheng will become livelier. Level 10 beasts are not easy to find, and most of them come from rich families ¨C when a nobody like Wei Feng suddenly appears with two Level 10 beasts, it is no surprise that the tabooists in the city became crazy. Breaking through the tenth level¡­ The temptation is too great. ¡­ Early in the morning. After a night of torrential rain, the world was cleansed. It seems like the community they were living in was barred. Not a single person was seen within the community, and the collapsed buildings from last night¡¯s battle was still there. Inside the villa. Wei Feng requested to resign his role as a bodyguard. Now that he is the centre of attention, Ling Xiaoxiao will be in danger if she stays with him. In addition, Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s funds seem to be frozen ¨C no salary was credited to Wei Feng¡¯s card this morning. Nine in the morning. Wei Feng decided to leave. Not a pin drop could be heard wherever Wei Feng went. ¡°Thunder Bird, transform!¡± Wei Feng stopped walking and let Thunder Bird reveal his original form ¨C he was more than five metres long! Wei Feng and the Wolf King then hopped onto Thunder Bird¡¯s back. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird flapped his wings, and like lightning, took off. From the sky, Wei Feng saw no-crossing lines placed four or five kilometres away from his original position. In the distant sky, he could see several helicopters surveying the area. Right in front, a big red bird flapped its wings ¨C a figure was riding the bird. There really is no escape from being watched. ¡°Go South!¡± Wei Feng ordered, and Thunder Bird immediately turned his direction and flew towards the South. Several helicopters parked near the south immediately retreated to make way for them. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird suddenly accelerated ¨C with electricity coursing throughout his body, and like lightning, disappeared in a flash. Just like that, the helicopter and bird trailing them disappeared from sight. ¡°Master, where do we go now?¡± Thunder Bird asked. Wei Feng hesitated, then said, ¡°Let¡¯s get out of this city ¨C let¡¯s see the outside world!¡± ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird chirped happily, and disappeared in a flash. Wei Feng glanced behind him ¨C perhaps they were too fast, so nothing was trailing behind them anymore. Half an hour later, they reached the tall city walls of Yancheng. This is the first time Wei Feng has seen the city walls of this world. It really is too tall. Every once in a while, the pillars of the wall emits a white light that slices through the sky ¨C between these rays of light, a white laser flashes from time to time. Wei Feng frowned. That should be the air defence system of the walls ¨C it is said that this laser can easily slice the body of a Level 9 beast. In addition, the wall also has a fully automatic thermal cannon. The muzzles of the cannons with a diameter of half a metre had slowly turned and aimed at Thunder Bird. Wei Feng: ¡­ This made him nervous. No wonder they weren¡¯t in any rush to trail behind him ¨C there was no way he could escape the city. ¡°Master, do you want me to forcibly break through the wall?¡± Thunder Bird chirped, electricity in his body surging. He wasn¡¯t afraid of the cannons. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a problem either. We just need to pay attention to the white lasers,¡± the Wolf King added. ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng nodded, and gave once last look at Yancheng, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Awoo!¡± The Wolf King howled. Moon-white rays of light poured down, and a wolf beast appeared on the ground ¨C he used his [Summon: Wolf King] ability! ¡°Buzz¡­¡± ¡°Boom!¡± On the city wall, the thermal cannons bombarded the wolves below. ¡°Caw!¡± At this time, Thunder Bird surged with electricity and swooped downwards. The Wolf King activated [Silver Moon Domain], and a ray of moonlight shrouded Wei Feng. ¡°Boom!¡± The moment they crossed the city wall, a thick white laser swept through them. The rays of moonlight exploded, and terrifying energy surged through the air. Wei Feng saw that the light beams on his left and right dimmed. The force repelled back to Wei Feng, but Thunder Bird turned sideways to protect Wei Feng. ¡°Boom!¡± Electricity crackled through the air ¨C they broke through the defence of the city walls, but Thunder Bird is free-falling through the air. The Wolf King transformed to his true form and leapt down, catching Wei Feng and Thunder Bird safely. ¡°Buzz!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± However, thermal cannons were aimed at Wei Feng, and immense energy bombarded towards him. Wei Feng had rage built in him from seeing Thunder Bird fall, and at this moment, his body was shrouded in white light. ¡°Boom!¡± Explosions. CH 52 Chapter 52: The Most Dangerous Creature! The force blew Wei Feng away. Under the Wolf King¡¯s blessing [Silver Moon Blossom], Wei Feng¡¯s stats were doubled ¨C his strength was as high as 50000. But the explosion of energy blew him away ¨C he couldn¡¯t control this surge in power. ¡°Boom!¡± The thermal cannons kept bombarding them ¨C the Wolf King quickly pounced towards Wei Feng and Thunder Bird and escorted them out of the range of the cannons. They finally got out of range, and he stopped. Wei Feng rolled off the Wolf King¡¯s back. He was full of frustration. Even though he was surging with power, he couldn¡¯t do anything. Fortunately, it seems like Thunder Bird was fine ¨C he just passed out from the shock. Wei Feng recalled the scene just now. Even if he has a Level 10 beast, his own attributes were that of a Level 9 beast ¨C and even then, it wasn¡¯t enough to just walk through the artillery fire. The Wolf King seemed calm. Sitting up, Wei Feng ripped off his tattered clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, ¡°Let¡¯s go! I need to become stronger.¡± There was no tones of ambition or revenge behind his voice. It has been a while since he was forcibly brought into this world ¨C before this, he was trying to live an honest life in the city ¨C he thought that, with a Level 10 beast and strength equivalent to a Level 9 beast, he would be fine. But he didn¡¯t expect that he would be under heavy supervision ¨C and it was just beginning. Wei Feng was fortunate that he was able to see the reality of this world, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be alive now. ¡­ His steps were firm, leaving the city walls behind him. This was the first time he stepped foot into the outside world. When living in the city, he overheard stories of the outside world ¨C danger, danger, danger. All he has learnt about the outside world was from within the city. Humans and royal beasts live within the city walls. Outside, there were thousands of different races! Demons, beasts, monsters, and more¡­ Only those who are branded with summoning symbols on their forehead can be called royal beasts. In the outside world, creatures that look exactly like your royal beasts could tear you to pieces and eat you alongside fruit pulp. These creatures are also extremely hostile! ¡°Awoo~¡± ¡°Awoo~¡± A low wolf howl could be heard in the distance. Wei Feng stopped. He has barely left the city walls, and yet, has he already encountered a beast? The Wolf King stepped in front of Wei Feng and sniffed the air, ¡°Master, it is the Blood Wolf clan. And if I¡¯m right, there¡¯s a Level 8 wolf in this clan.¡± Wei Feng looked into the distance. Indeed, he could see some red figures laying low in the distance. ¡°Can¡¯t you just order them to be on our side?¡± Wei Feng asked. The Wolf King shook his head. ¡°Now that I have the summoning mark on my forehead, I am like a traitor in their eyes.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°Then, let us fight! Let me see how dangerous the outside world really is!¡± Clenching his fist, he felt his heart beat fast. Excitement, nervousness, fear. ¡°Awoo!¡± As Wei Feng and the Wolf King approached, a low wolf howl signalled an attack. Red figures surrounded them, rushing towards them. Wei Feng summoned the Dragon Ape and Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow, then activated [Summon: Wolf King]. ¡°Awoo!¡± The Wolf King also let out a howl, using his own [Summon: Wolf King]. The wolves in [Summon: Wolf King] are merely just wolves made out of energy and aren¡¯t real wolves ¨C they will dissipate automatically after a period of time. A circle of energy wolves protected Wei Feng. The blood wolves slowed their advance. There are more than fifty blood wolves, and their leader was a Level 8 blood wolf. After finding a human being and a high-levelled traitor of the same race, they wanted to go up and shred them to pieces by numbers¡¯ advantage, but they did not expect such a scene to happen. ¡°Grr¡­¡± The Wolf King let out a low growl, and [Wolf King¡¯s Majesty] spread out into the air. In an instant, at least half of the blood wolves became weak. The mechanics of that ability comes from the suppression of blood. If the Wolf King didn¡¯t have a summoning mark embedded in his forehead, these wolves probably would have all kneeled by now. Shortly after, the battle ended. The Level 8 blood wolf fled with some other blood wolves. Wei Feng spared the weaker wolves, and the summoned energy wolves dissipated after about half an hour. Wei Feng walked for about half an hour ¨C his end goal was the big mountain in the distance. The Wolf King explained the rules of survival in the outside world. There is only one rule. The strong eat the weak! As long as you are strong, you can run wild and search for resources everywhere to strengthen yourself. But there is no specific standard for strength. In some places, Level 8 or Level 9 is king. In some places, Level 10 is the standard. And outside the city, there are Restricted Areas everywhere! There are currently 1375 known Restricted Areas recorded in the Federation. The key word here is ¡°known¡±. And Restricted Areas function under different rules as well. ¡°Master! That mountain you¡¯re heading to is a Restricted Area.¡± The Wolf King then pointed his paw at the mountain. Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng then asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier, then?¡± The Wolf King then replied, ¡°I think you misunderstand what a Restricted Area is.¡± ¡°Excuse me?¡± ¡°Yup.¡± The Wolf King nodded, then explained, ¡°Although it is dangerous, there are many good things in it too! Moreover, you can find Forbidden Items!¡± ¡°And what if we die?!¡± Wei Feng reminded. The Wolf King scoffed, ¡°Master, can we be more confident in ourselves? With our strength, we can completely level and dispel a small Restricted Area!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ ¡°So, this Restricted Area isn¡¯t even all that?¡± Wei Feng frowned. ¡°But it was so difficult for us to even escape a Level 4 Civilized city!¡± He added. The Wolf King: ¡­ ¡°Master, I think you are underestimating the power of humans!¡± The Wolf King shook his head. The fact that a human-built city can stand strong in this world speaks for itself. Human beings not only have royal beasts, they also have the power of technology. The most dangerous species in this world are humans. Wei Feng: ¡­ CH 53 Chapter 53: Restricted Area No. 69 ¨C Mount Soft Gold Indeed, the power of humans should never be underestimated ¨C his own strength exceeds that of a Level 9 beast, and he has two Level 10 beasts, and yet, he was forced to flee from a city full of humans. Wei Feng didn¡¯t know much about Restricted Areas, so he asked the Wolf King for more information. First of all, there are three rules in Restricted Areas. First, any thermal energy cannot be present within the area. Second, after entering a Restricted Area, any space cannot be opened. Third, outsiders cannot stay in a Restricted Area for more than 24 hours, otherwise, they will be chased and hunted by all the creatures within the area. ¡­ In any world, no matter the danger, someone will always take the risk. Risk and benefit are always equal. Moreover, most of the materials for Royal Beast Armaments, ACE Series Medicine, and PCG Series Medicine all come from Restricted Areas. Before this, some adventurers who hail from the south gate of Yancheng had already explored Restricted Area No. 69. It was given another name by the adventurers. Mount Soft Gold. Because it mainly produces soft gold to make royal beast armaments. Therefore, any future team that comes here brings a shovel and a backpack. Wei Feng came to Mount Soft Gold from another direction, since he broke out from the city wall ¨C the route the adventurers took from the city gate was different. When entering Mount Soft Gold, Thunder Bird regained consciousness. Wei Feng was delighted, and the three of them entered Restricted Area No. 69. Compared to the others before them who entered the area cautiously, they were somewhat casual with their entry. Thunder Bird perched himself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the city¡¯s thermal cannons would be so powerful! I can¡¯t believe it made me faint for more than an hour!¡± The Wolf King sneered at Thunder Bird, ¡°Are you bird brained? Why didn¡¯t you use your [Electricity Field]? And you used your own body as a shield? I see how it is now ¨C you want our master¡¯s attention!¡± ¡°What did you say?! Ah ¨C my wings hurt so much!¡± Thunder Bird then staggered on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders. Wei Feng wanted to laugh, but calmed himself. After all, Thunder Bird was the one who took the hit for him. ¡°Roar!¡± Suddenly, a roar could be heard in front of them. A frightened voice could be heard too, ¡°Brother! Just leave me, run for your life!¡± ¡°No! Sister!¡± ¡°Father! Our sister fell down!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng was about to comfort Thunder Bird when he heard the scene. The sound came from in front of them ¨C there was a bush, and with the low terrain where Wei Feng was, whoever was in front of them won¡¯t be able to see them. ¡°We need to help them!¡± Wei Feng whispered to Thunder Bird. Thunder Bird flapped his wings and flew towards the bushes to investigate the scene. The sound of fighting was fierce ¨C the roar of trolls and the roars of lions. ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, a thick field of electricity exploded in the area, and the commotion became quiet. Wei Feng and the Wolf King quickly came to the scene, and it was surprising. There are four humans ¨C a Level 6 horned lion, and a Level 6 troll. Both the lion and the troll were lying on the ground, body twitching with electricity. The four humans, three males and one female, seemed to be stunned and paralysed by the electricity too. Wei Feng didn¡¯t mean to hit them, so he called Thunder Bird back and prepared to leave. However, the girl suddenly called out, ¡°You there! Wait! Stop!¡± Wei Feng stopped and turned around with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re welcome! There is no need to thank me!¡± The girl was speechless, and her face contorted to anger, ¡°Why should I thank you?! Your bird injured our beast! You have to compensate for our loss!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ This is crazy. The eldest man in the group took a deep breath, and shrugged off the numbness in his body and grabbed the girl while apologizing to Wei Feng, ¡°Young man! I¡¯m really sorry ¨C and thank you for just now! There is no need to compensate us! No need!¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Wei Feng nodded, then glanced at the girl whose mouth and complaints were muffled by the man, and turned to leave. Thunder Bird perched itself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, and the Wolf King trailed behind him. They then disappeared into the jungle. It was not until they left when the man released his daughter. ¡°You¡¯re out of your mind!¡± The man breathed a sigh of relief, then checked the troll¡¯s injuries. He then instructed the young man beside him, ¡°Quick, cut off the horn of the horned lion, then we will leave immediately.¡± ¡°Dad, that person just now¡­¡± The eldest man immediately glared, ¡°Mind your own business. That kind of person is not someone we can provoke ¨C watch out for your sister in the future, she almost caused a huge disaster for us.¡± The girl puffed her cheeks, then glanced at the direction where Wei Feng left ¨C she scrunched her nose and snorted coldly. Wei Feng walked a short distance. Not far away, on a rock wall, there was some metallic lustre, and some marks of tools embedded on the wall. That must be where the soft gold was ¨C it has already been dug up. ¡°Sha sha sha¡­¡± Wei Feng was about to investigate the wall, but a little creature sprung up from the pile of leaves not far from him. That creature was gray, and was about as big as a fist ¨C it was extremely fast and ran around in the trees. Wei Feng was curious and fixed his eyes on the creature ¨C it was similar to a hedgehog, with a less round body. It had a small tail and its forelegs and hind legs were extraordinarily long. The Wolf King smiled, ¡°Master, this little creature is nicknamed ¡°Surprise¡±, do you know why?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Before Wei Feng could finish his sentence, the angry roar of a lion and other beasts could be heard. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The little creature rushed past Wei Feng, but a big paw halted its advance. ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°This little guy holds some surprises for us!¡± The Wolf King grabbed the creature by its tail, and it made sounds similar to a mouse. Wei Feng was curious ¨C why did the Wolf King catch this little creature? However, the angry roar of a lion was getting closer¡­ was this the surprise? ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird jumped off Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, and grabbed the little creature¡¯s arms. At this time, Wei Feng could see that the little creature was holding a shiny item in its paws. ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°Squeak!¡± The shiny item was pried out by Thunder Bird, and the little creature squeaked out in anger ¨C its two little claws were flaying angrily. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird perched himself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders, and put the shiny item in Wei Feng¡¯s hands, ¡°Master, this is a good item!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± At this time, four horned lions appeared in Wei Feng¡¯s sight, and rushed towards him. The next moment, a wave of electricity swept across, and the lions regretted chasing after them. Wei Feng scoffed, then looked at the shiny stone-like object in his hand. He used [Abyss Peek] to peer into the item, and an information panel appeared. [Exploration Panel] Item: Space Power Stone Rarity: Common Function: Can open up any space. Description: This is an exclusive item found in Restricted Areas ¨C only previously expanded Restricted Areas can be born. CH 54 Chapter 54: Supportive Royal Beast [Spirit Hog] This thing turned out to be a space energy stone. He had seen this before when studying books about the domain of the brain before. For example, the guidance instrumental used back in the academy is made of space energy stones. It is said to be valuable. After Thunder Bird subdued the four horned lions, he flew back to Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Master, don¡¯t underestimate this tiny item ¨C the energy contained within should be enough to open up a layer of fog in your brain.¡± Meanwhile, the Wolf King stretched out a paw and pried something out of the little creature¡¯s arms. ¡°Woof!¡± The Wolf King let out an excited bark, then stretched out his paw, ¡°Haha! This guy really is a ¡°Surprise!¡± It was hiding something else in its arms!¡± Wei Feng looked at the other item, it was round with the size of a thumb ¨C and it was hollow. ¡°Isn¡¯t this just a ring?¡± Wei Feng used [Abyss Peek] to probe into it. [Exploration Panel] Target: Jade Bone Essence Rarity: Rare Function: Level up. Description: It can only be used on Royal Beasts below Level 10. ¡­ Wei Feng knew what this was ¨C Ling Xiaoxiao told him it was usually available in auctions of high-end royal beasts in Yancheng. Wow. Ordinary jade bone essences in the market, which can only be used on Level 1 Royal Beasts, has been auctioned to a sky-high price of more than 1 million! And with jade bone essences with the ¡°Rare¡± rarity, even the elites in Yancheng can¡¯t afford it. However, Wei Feng estimated that the number of jade bone essence needed to level up a mid-levelled beast would have to be about five hundred. ¡­ Wei Feng looked at the little creature, and his eyes lit up. This creature really has a lot of surprises! ¡°Come on, dig in it and see whether this bugger is hiding anything else!¡± Wei Feng leaned and patted the belly of the creature. Despite its small body and thorns on its back, its belly was exceptionally soft and has a thick layer of fur ¨C under the fur was a layer of wrinkled skin. Wei Feng groped the creature for a bit, but all he got was a flea. He was unsatisfied, and proposed to the Wolf King, ¡°Why don¡¯t we cut it open? Maybe there¡¯s something hidden in its stomach.¡± Wolf King: ! Thunder Bird: !! ¡°Surprise¡±: !!! ¡°Master, it¡¯s better to not kill this creature,¡± the Wolf King advised. ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°Squeak!¡± Tears flashed in the creature¡¯s eyes, and kept shaking its head. Wei Feng hesitated, then snapped his fingers, ¡°Aha!¡± The creature was frightened, it thought it was going to die. Wei Feng was actually drawing summoning symbols ¨C after combining and arranging them, he condensed it into a summoning mark, and embedded it onto the little creature¡¯s head. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained a Level 3 Support Beast [Spirit Hog].] [NOTICE: Double summonings have already been used.] [NOTICE: Due to the beast¡¯s special ability, core abilities cannot be obtained and shared.] ¡­ Hearing the prompt, Wei Feng was a little surprised. This little guy, Spirit Hog, really is special enough to be unable to share abilities with! That¡¯s kind of a pity. ¡­ The Wolf King witnessed Wei Feng making the little creature his royal beast, and nodded. At this moment, he admires his master. He really had a unique vision And has the ability of foresight! He¡¯s too good! Usually, when someone catches a Ling Xian, they would pick up the existing treasures on its body, and leave it. However, with it becoming a royal beast, its like installing a treasure detector around you! ¡°Hey, free it!¡± Wei Feng reminded the Wolf King, who was still pawing Spirit Hog. ¡°Oh!¡± The Wolf King quickly put Spirit Hog on Wei Feng¡¯s palm. ¡°Squeak!¡± Spirit Hog landed on Wei Feng¡¯s palm, and made a sad squeaking noise. Wei Feng wanted to pet it, but its body was full of spikes. Wei Feng was curious about Spirit Hog¡¯s abilities, and peered into it. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Spirit Hog (Support Type) Level: Level 3 Attributes: None Strength: 1 Agility: 600 (+300) Spirit Power: 200 Core Ability: [Special Perception] ¨C The Spirit Hog has very strong perceptive abilities, with a perception range of 100 metres. [Extreme Speed] ¨C Sacrifices strength in exchange for speed ¨C triples basic agility, and increases agility by 50%. Description: Cannot evolve, and cannot level up. ¡­ Sure enough, this little guy had extremely good perceptive skills, since it carries a lot of trinkets. In addition, it is very special. It is extremely unique, but at the same, is deprived of its ability to evolve. Can¡¯t evolve, can¡¯t level up. It only has one trick up its sleeve. However, it is enough. What Wei Feng wanted from it was its core ability [Special Perception]. Although he can¡¯t use it himself, he can use this guy. In a way, Wei Feng has a special royal beast. Not in a hurry to use its abilities, Wei Feng decided to take a break. He decided to use the Space Energy Stone for himself. At present, his brain has opened up to the 6th layer. When the 6th layer was broken into, he obtained [Abyss Peek]. However, when the 5th layer of fog was broken, he didn¡¯t obtain any Forbidden Items, which made Wei Feng unsure if the 7th layer would have any Forbidden Items. He has a piece of Jade Bone Essence, however, Dragon Ape and Ice Giant have already used [Absolute Zero] to level up, so he cannot use it again. Therefore, Wei Feng hopes that when he breaks into the 7th layer of fog, a forbidden item can be born. While it is true that Jade Bone Essence can be used to level up royal beasts, it has a failure rate! However, if there is a forbidden item, the failure rate can be erased, and its effect can be maximised. ¡°Crack!¡± The Space Energy Stone was crushed by Wei Feng, and strands of blue energy was instantly absorbed into Wei Feng¡¯s brain. This energy is like using a cannon aimed at the layer of fog ¨C this fog will break in just a few hits. ¡°Buzz!¡± As soon as the blue energy entered the brain domain, [Ruined Symbol] floated up, absorbing all the energy in a single swoop. Wei Feng: ¡­ Ding! [NOTICE: [Ruined Symbol] has been activated.] ¡­ Wei Feng felt helpless. Could it be that [Ruined Symbol] was taking the oath of sovereignty? Wei Feng shook his head. Now that [Ruined Symbol] is activated, Wei Feng used it. In about ten seconds, the 7th layer of fog corroded into nothing, and the brain domain was expanded. Ding! [NOTICE: You have successfully broken into the 7th layer of your brain. Your spirit power has increased.] ¡­ After a beep sounded, Wei Feng remained silent. Wei Feng waited for a while and was a little disappointed. After the 7th layer of fog was broken into, no forbidden items were born. CH 55 Chapter 55: Energy of the Flesh The difference isn¡¯t that noticeable ¨C especially since Wei Feng has a spirit power value of over 20000. Currently, Wei Feng¡¯s three attributes are: Strength, 26560; Agility, 23940; Spirit Power, 23510. ¡­ One pm. With Spirit Hog¡¯s special perception, Wei Feng found several good items. He found a few [Striped Berries] used to make PCG Series of medicine and [Blue Worm Eggs] used to make PCE Series of medicine. ¡°Squeak!¡± The Spirit Hog laid on Wei Feng¡¯s left shoulder, and pointed its small paw to a dense bush 200 metres ahead, to the right. From the information conveyed by Spirit Hog, Wei Feng could tell that behind the dense bush, was a hidden cave with a lot of soft gold in it! However, Spirit Hog also warned that there were always many humans in that cave. Wei Feng was a little surprised. Could this be the works of a certain force in Yancheng, or the official Federation? Wei Feng intends to take a look anyways. As he approached the cave, crisp sounds of mining could be heard from the cave. The sound wasn¡¯t very loud, and it was very messy ¨C this means many people were inside mining for soft gold. Wei Feng hid behind the bushes, and found that the entrance of the cave was guarded. A young man in his twenties with a pickaxe in his hand, leaned to the left of the cave while smoking a cigarette. He doesn¡¯t look like a guard ¨C he was probably a miner who came out to take a break. Wei Feng let the Wolf King knock him unconscious, then he used [Abyss Peek] to probe his stats. [Exploration Panel] Target: Human Age: 25 Level: Intermediate Beast Master Strength: 21 Agility: 16 Spirit Power: 54 Royal Beast: Level 2 Secluded Wolf, Level 4 Saber-Toothed Tiger. ¡­ After finding out the specific attributes of the man, Wei Feng dragged him into the bushes, took off his clothes, and put it on. ¡°Illusion time!¡± Moon-white light bathed Wei Feng¡¯s body, and his body shape and appearance began to undergo huge changes. In a moment¡¯s notice, Wei Feng completely transformed into the same young man who was lying unconscious before him. His appearance, body, and even voice! ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll take a look inside,¡± he said, as he picked up the pickaxe. The cave was deeper than what he imagined ¨C after entering for about fifty metres, there were real guards guarding the entrance. There are two guards in total ¨C one of them looks scrawny, but standing next to him was a Level 8 Shadow Demon! He walked past the guards, then turned left ¨C Wei Feng saw bright lights and miners who were struggling to brandish their tools. Wei Feng walked over, and a middle-aged man immediately shouted to him, ¡°Xiao Zhang, why have you been smoking for so long?! Hurry up and dig, I need to poop!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng quickly responded and walked towards the man. He passed by two large boxes and glanced inside ¨C one of the boxes was almost full of soft gold. ¡°Quickly!¡± The middle-aged man impatiently dropped his tools and began walking out. Wei Feng had no choice but to take his place and started to mine. Now, he wants to find out who these miners work for. Not too far away, two miners were chatting in a low voice, but Wei Feng could hear everything. They mentioned the ¡°Zhao Consortium¡± and ¡°Xingyuan Industry¡±. Wei Feng knew what Zhao Consortium was ¨C it is one of the largest consortiums in Yancheng, even larger than Angel Mall. In a way, it is more influential than Angel Mall. Xingyuan Industry is a processing industry, co-operated by Zhao¡¯s Consortium and the Wang family, and they mainly do business in royal beast supplies. It seems that the mining team works for these two. After understanding it clearly, Wei Feng began his plan. Although soft gold is precious, it is not easy to carry. Wei Feng took a fancy to the glowing stones in another box. He conveyed the news to the Wolf King telepathically, then picked up his pickaxe and walked towards the two guards. A Level 8 Shadow Demon, a Level 7 Horned Lion ¨C he wanted to see if he could best them in combat. ¡°Hey there! I want to ask whether-¡± ¡°Puff!¡± Wei Feng approached them as if he had something to ask, and swung his pickaxe abruptly. Due to the huge force, the blunt pickaxe pierced through the Shadow Demon¡¯s body in one clean swoop. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Caw!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird flew in, and arcs of electricity burst within the cave ¨C the battle was over. The sudden change made the miners petrified ¨C none of them dared to resist Wei Feng, and squatted on the grounds with their heads tucked in their arms. Wei Feng found a backpack lying around, and put all the glowing stones in ¨C he also loaded about five kilograms of soft gold, filling the backpack with about half of it, then turned to leave. Before leaving, Wei Feng learnt that the name of the young man who he impersonated. Zhang Ershan. Out of the mine, Thunder Bird was dragging the body of the horned lion out. Half an hour later, Wei Feng found a water pool and cleansed the horned lion¡¯s body. Then, he set up a fire and barbecued it. It took three hours before the horned lion was fully cooked. It was slightly charred ¨C its meat was sweet and delicious. Wei Feng was also hungry, so he tore off a piece of the horned lion¡¯s meat and ate it. The taste was strong ¨C a comfortable heat went straight to his abdomen, making him feel at home. Just as Wei Feng was eating, a prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: [Energy of the Flesh] ¨C Increases the Power of Control by 1%.] [NOTICE: Progress of [Energy of the Flesh] ¨C 1%.] ¡­ Wei Feng was surprised ¨C after eating a few mouthfuls of Royal Beast meat, he could increase his own power by 1%. Had he known it earlier¡­ Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but wipe off the grease on his hands. At least it wasn¡¯t too late. In addition, this ability seemed very powerful. Energy of the Flesh ¨C 1%. Effect: When 100% progress is achieved, you can strengthen yourself in all attributes once. [NOTE: This can only be drawn from biological flesh of Level 4 beasts or higher. The higher the rank, the more energy obtained.] ¡­ This is crazy! This just encourages Wei Feng to devour more powerful creatures ¨C as long as he obtains 100% progress, he can strengthen himself once. This is great! Wei Feng sighed. He missed out on a lot! ¡°Hey! You two, don¡¯t eat so much! Leave some for me.¡± Wei Feng started to shove meat into his mouth and grabbed some from the Wolf King. ¡­ Evening. At 6:30pm, Wei Feng left Mount Soft Gold. He unsummoned the Wolf King, Thunder Bird, and Spirit Hog. Wei Feng, carrying a heavy backpack, trailed behind two adventurers who also left Mount Soft Gold to a place not far away ¨C a station. From the south gate of Yancheng to here, it is about 16 kilometres. This station is set up specially for these adventurers in Yancheng ¨C the specially modified mountain bike can take a person safely from the station to the south gate of Yancheng for only 50 yuan per person! Wei Feng paid fifty yuan and followed a dozen people into the small carriage space ¨C in about twenty minutes, a carload of people arrived at the south gate of Yancheng. CH 56 Chapter 56: Plan Wei Feng followed everyone out of the car, and the people were confused. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Huh? Why do we have to queue and be screened?!¡± ¡°Shh! Those are security guards from the Zhao family, the Wang family, and Angel Mall! Keep your voice down.¡± ¡­ A fat man who was in the car with Wei Feng shrunk himself in fear when the Zhao family was mentioned. Wei Feng whispered to the man, ¡°Brother, why do you look so startled?¡± Almost a dozen people in the same car were curious, and huddled near the fat man too. This scared the man even more, and he waved everyone away, ¡°Don¡¯t come near me! We need to spread out; spread out!¡± The tiny crowd dispersed, and the man explained, ¡°Last night, something big happened in the city ¨C someone broke through the city walls and escaped!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to the pillar of light on the city wall. Everyone knows that the pillar of light is extremely dangerous. There was once a Level 9 Phoenix who tried to infiltrate into Yancheng, but was sliced in half by the laser beam! And the pillar of light is only one of two major defence systems of the city ¨C there were many powerful thermal cannons on the wall. However, this unknown person forcibly broke through these two defences! If this person is that powerful, wouldn¡¯t it mean that the city they live in isn¡¯t safe anymore? ¡°Listen up, it¡¯s not safe in Yancheng these days ¨C it¡¯s better for everyone to mind their own business and keep away from the elites of the city,¡± the man advised. They returned to the queue, and the line was shorter now. Wei Feng could recognise a few people in front of the line. ¡°Hmph! If I meet that stupid man again, I have to take a picture of him and expose him to the news!¡± A crisp, angry voice sounded. Wei Feng instantly knew who it was. It was the girl from the family he rescued this morning who forced him to compensate for her injured beast. ¡°My sister, you¡¯ve been complaining the entire day,¡± the young man behind her said helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t care! He wasn¡¯t wearing any clothes anyways! He is a pervert! You can¡¯t stop me!¡± she shouted. Wei Feng: ¡­ Pervert? Hey! I was wearing boxers, I wasn¡¯t naked! He thought to himself. Wei Feng wanted to go forward to argue, but decided that it was wise to stay in line. ¡­ ¡°Hurry up!¡± Under the tall city gate, there were a dozen security guards who held various instruments and pistols. They were screening each person who entered the city. It was Wei Feng¡¯s turn. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± a security guard asked. ¡°¡­Zhang Ershan.¡± Wei Feng answered, and the guard swiped Wei Feng¡¯s face with an instrument. A beep could be heard. ¡°ENTER.¡± ¡°Alright. Next!¡± ¡°Next!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng smiled. The Wolf King¡¯s ability [Transformation] was really too powerful. Even special equipment can¡¯t detect him. ¡°Wait! Young man, return!¡± Wei Feng was about to leave, but the security guard stopped him, ¡°What¡¯s in your backpack?¡± The security guard wanted to check his backpack! Wei Feng wasn¡¯t nervous though. He put down the backpack and opened it. The pungent smell of mud. In the backpack, there were beautiful stones covered in mud and dirt. ¡°Decorative stones,¡± Wei Feng said. The security guard frowned. ¡°Ah, why didn¡¯t you wash the mud off first?¡± Wei Feng answered, ¡°Aha! My friend, this mud contains special ingredients from the Restricted Area ¨C and these stones prove that I dug it out from the Restricted Area! They will sell well! I¡¯ll eat good tonight!¡± The security guard was surprised, and waved him away, ¡°Alright, I get it! Next!¡± Wei Feng zipped up the backpack and continued saying, ¡°Don¡¯t you want one? I can sell you one for 200 yuan!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want it! Leave!¡± The security guard took a step back, for fear that Wei Feng might really give him a piece. ¡°Pity.¡± Wei Feng shook his head, and walked towards the city. The security guard returned to the city gate, and shook his head at the other security guard, ¡°Nope.¡± ¡­ Entering the city, Wei Feng glanced at the thermal cannon at the city wall and the pillar of light. He shook his head. Earlier in the morning, he broke through the city wall, and came back impersonating somebody else. This was actually all planned by him last night. After the battle with the tabooist, Wei Feng knew that it wouldn¡¯t end like this. He speculates that there isn¡¯t just one Level 10 tabooist in the city. Had he remained in the city, then there may be enough tabooists who can destroy him. So, he intends to create an illusion ¨C an illusion of him escaping from the city. Utilizing the Wolf King¡¯s [Transformation] ability, he speculates that the tabooists will think that he escaped the city. If someone risks their life to flee the city, then they will definitely not return under normal circumstances. This is normal logic. Wei Feng has always intended to return ¨C he wants to live an honest life, and he thinks that it is impossible to survive in the wild. After all, he is just human. He cannot survive like a wild beast every day. However, after a day outside, he had a new understanding of the outside world. He also made new plans. Eight forty. Wei Feng entered the city, then came to a hotel called Qingshui Pavilion ¨C he stated a room number, and after the bellboy confirmed it, he followed the bellboy to a single room on the 3rd floor. He pushed the door and entered ¨C there was a woman sitting in the back of the room. ¡°Who-¡° Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the strange man who barged in her room. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± As Wei Feng spoke, his body made a muffled sound, and morphed back to his original appearance. Ling Xiaoxiao was surprised to see this, she didn¡¯t expect Wei Feng to have this shapeshifting ability! It isn¡¯t a simple disguise either, it completely changes his body shape! Wei Feng stretched his arms and legs and sat down. He immediately asked Ling Xiaoxiao, ¡°So? Did I trick everyone?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao nodded with admiration in her eyes, ¡°It worked very well, you led more than half of the people out the city ¨C but I didn¡¯t expect you to break through the city defence!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s plan was to break through the city gate and its defence system ¨C it was a hasty decision, but the effect was worth it. ¡°Well, was it fun outside the city? Did you go to Restricted Area No. 69?¡± she asked. ¡°Yup.¡± Wei Feng nodded and sipped some water. ¡°It¡¯s definitely not what I imagined, and it¡¯s definitely not what people describe it as.¡± He continued. ¡°It isn¡¯t that dangerous outside ¨C I feel that it¡¯s safer outside compared to the city.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao: ¡­ Did he really say that it isn¡¯t dangerous outside? She couldn¡¯t believe him. Maybe it isn¡¯t dangerous for him, but others may die without even knowing how they died. The power dynamic between him and ordinary people is too jarring. Even the city defence system couldn¡¯t stop him, is he really a human? Ling Xiaoxiao sipped some water too, and calmed her excitement. She looked at Wei Feng with a serious expression. After spending so many days with him, she knew very little about him. Can Power of Control really make a person this powerful? Ling Xiaoxiao couldn¡¯t believe it. CH 57 Chapter 57: Target ¡°Oh! I was just about to tell you!¡± Wei Feng then got up and picked up the backpack. ¡°Well, is it some special product from the Restricted Area? I heard that the mountain is rich in soft gold, did you dig some?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised ¨C it seems like Ling Xiaoxiao was more curious than the average person. Wei Feng warned her, ¡°I think it¡¯s better for you to step away for a moment ¨C in order to smuggle these into the city, I had to put some other¡­ things on it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay! What do you take me for? I am not that kind of woman!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao shrugged it off, not willing to step bacl. Wei Feng had no choice but to open the backpack. ¡°Uwek!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao almost vomited. ¡°My god!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao covered her nose and ran to the opposite side of the room, ¡°What did you put inside? Is it feces? You¡¯re crazy!¡± Wei Feng: ! When Wei Feng found these stones, they were indeed already covered in mud mixed with animal feces. Wei Feng poured the contents of the backpack out on the floor. There were delicate sounds of crashing ¨C small sparkly stones rolled onto the ground. Wei Feng didn¡¯t know what stone it was ¨C he tried to absorb it, but couldn¡¯t. Wei Feng put aside the stones used as a disguise for these small sparkly stones, then used a clean basin of water to wash the tiny stones. ¡°Oh! Power Stones!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao immediately recognised them. ¡°A power stone is used to power up the energy in thermal weapons!¡± she explained. ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng was slightly surprised. No wonder he couldn¡¯t absorb it ¨C the energy contained in forbidden items and energy used in thermal weapons are fundamentally different. ¡°Are these valuable?¡± Wei Feng asked. Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at him, ¡°It is very valuable! Because the city defence systems are also powered by these stones!¡± This made Wei Feng more surprised. ¡°Well, I have a plan now, let¡¯s discuss.¡± Wei Feng said. ¡­ After seeing the various resources in the outside world, Wei Feng understood what to do. He finally discovered [Energy of the Flesh] despite being in this world for so long. Compared to using forbidden items and Power of Control, this ability is the easiest way to improve himself. Wei Feng has always believed that you can eat as much as you want, and what you eat belongs to you. He plans to cooperate with Ling Xiaoxiao. Every day, like other adventurers of the outside world, he leaves early and returns late. He would obtain some resources outside, and takes them to Ling Xiaoxiao for her to sell. He needs all kinds of medicine, beast-controlling weapons, and a diverse connection with other humans. Ling Xiaoxiao had her own request, too. Wei Feng has to bring her to the outside world once a month ¨C no reason, she just wants to experience what it¡¯s like being outside. Wei Feng agreed, and their partnership was officially established. ¡­ Half past ten, the two left the hotel. Wei Feng found another hotel to stay in. He washed up, and summoned the Wolf King and Thunder Bird to keep watch. He slept comfortably. Early in the morning. Wei Feng woke up early. No matter the environment, Wei Feng never slacks off. He trained his breathing methods and body forging methods for three times. He then washed up and changed into clean and fitted clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. He saw a breakfast shop next door last night. As Wei Feng was about to leave, a black car stopped at the door of the hotel, and Ling Xiaoxiao got out of the car and walked straight to the concierge. ¡°Did you withdraw your room yet?¡± she asked Wei Feng. ¡°Uh, no. Not yet,¡± he replied. ¡°Alright. Bring me to your room.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao then strutted and pulled Wei Feng into the elevator. This scene made the concierge attendant stunned, ¡°Oh, young people these days¡­¡± Wei Feng heard her words in the elevator, and felt a little embarrassed. They came to Wei Feng¡¯s room, and she took off her coat and sat on the bed, ¡°Ling Xu is here!¡± ¡°Ling Xu?¡± Wei Feng looked at her, confused. She seemed anxious at the name. ¡°Yeah! Our Ling family lineage is the strongest, no, but definitely top three in terms of strength,¡± she rambled. Wei Feng: ! ¡°In my memory, everything about him was legendary and dazzling,¡± she said, with a bitter expression. Wei Feng listened. What she said surprised him. ¡°It seems like he¡¯s attracted to you. He¡¯s interested in the Power of Control.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao looked at him grimly. ¡°He will enter Mount Soft Gold today. Kill him for me.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ ¡°If you kill him for me, I won¡¯t take any of the share in our sales, never!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was crazy. ¡°But¡­¡± Wei Feng was about to speak, but Ling Xiaoxiao interrupted, ¡°He has an S-Tier Forbidden Item on him ¨C he can activate two enhancement conditions at the same time! And he can use this on royal beasts too!¡± Wei Feng: !!! ¡­ Eight thirty. Wei Feng took the public transport to Restricted Area No. 69, recalling her words. Something must have happened between Ling Xiaoxiao and Ling Xu. However, Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to kill him because of her, he wanted to kill him to obtain the S-Tier Forbidden Item! 20 minutes later. The vehicle arrived, and Wei Feng also got off the car. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He didn¡¯t want to become a man who would do anything for money. He tried to make excuses for himself, to find psychological comfort. Ling Xu is looking for him, hunting for the Power of Control. What would happen if this power fell on the other party¡¯s hands? He came up with the above excuse, and had no regrets or burden anymore. ¡°Alright!¡± He took a deep breath, ready to enter the mountain. Today¡¯s meeting is fateful, and so is your death! CH 58 Chapter 58: Level 10 Scarlet Flame Tiger! However, this detection method doesn¡¯t seem that accurate ¨C it can only detect an estimate location. This means that his approximate location will be exposed! Before this, Wei Feng would be a little worried and scared. But now, he doesn¡¯t feel that way. Maybe he¡¯s maturing! From hiding to direct confrontation, Wei Feng knew what he needed to do. This world isn¡¯t as peaceful as he thought it was ¨C avoiding and hiding is merely a manifestation of fear and cowardice in the eyes of the powerful. In this world where the strong devour the weak; as an ordinary man who was forced into this world, it is normal to be afraid. This has nothing to do with their strength, but their mentality. There has to be a time to process the trauma. And when that time passes, one would start fighting back, and even want to gain benefits! ¡­ Restricted Area No. 69 seems extraordinarily active today. Wei Feng walked a short distance to the left ¨C when he was about to summon the Wolf King and Thunder Bird, he saw a few silver-black vehicles parked outside the mountain. In addition, there were also four armored vehicles, all covered in steel, including the wheels of the car. Wei Feng glanced at the vehicles ¨C the owners of these vehicles have already entered the mountain. He switched directions and summoned the Wolf King, Thunder Bird, and Spirit Hog. He then stepped into the Restricted Area. Today, he carries a backpack and a metal axe. There are several bags of calorie-dense food, as well as emergency medicine. At the foot of the mountain, Wei Feng found a trail and started to trek the mountain. Mount Soft Gold only has a 15-degree incline, so it is somewhat flat. From a distance, it looks like a mountain range. Although Mount Soft Gold was more crowded today, Wei Feng didn¡¯t see a single person for half an hour of walking. On such a big mountain, even if there were hundreds of people, it is like ants that are scattered ¨C there is a high chance of not encountering anyone. Of course, it is different if someone is already waiting for you. They reached Gourd Mouth, which is a key location of Mount Soft Gold. It is interesting. Like a gourd, some parts of the ground bulge out, and some are concave in the middle. This makes it very convenient to walk on. Almost all adventurers who trek the mountain know this location, because passing through here saves at least half an hour of time. Wei Feng passed by here yesterday, so he too, knows this location. ¡°Master!¡± The Wolf King sniffed the air and warned, ¡°Master, there are Level 10 beasts here.¡± Level 10! Although he expected it, Wei Feng was a little surprised hearing the Wolf King confirm it. ¡°How many are there?¡± he asked. The Wolf King replied, ¡°Only one. It should be the Scarlet Flame Tiger.¡± ¡°Roar!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a roar sounded from the front of them. Wei Feng felt the air getting hot. A Level 10 royal beast¡­ if he devours it, how much energy would he get? Wei Feng thought to himself. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird perched himself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders. His body arcs with electricity, ¡°Then, leave the other five Level 9 beasts to me!¡± Wei Feng: ! There were five Level 9 beasts? Just how many creatures are there? It seems that his opponent was well prepared to wear him out. Five Level 9 beasts can certainly take on a Level 10 beast. However, they obviously did not take into account Wei Feng¡¯s own strength! Ten minutes later. Wei Feng reached the flat terrain at Gourd Mouth. The atmosphere has changed. The surroundings were eerily quiet, not even the chirp of a bird could be heard. Even the unique aura of a Restricted Area couldn¡¯t suppress the aura of rage emanating from this location. Six young men were standing under a big tree and chatting. The Scarlet Flame Tiger was resting on a large rock in the middle of Gourd Mouth, and it was equipped with Royal Beast Armor. A troll, covered in black armor, carried a large axe over three metres long on his shoulders. An elf, leaning gracefully on a tree trunk, donning light armor and carrying a longbow in his hand. There is also a Lava Giant, a Shadow Demon, and a Fire Poison Spider, all dressed in Beast Armor standing around Gourd Mouth. ¡°Hey!¡± Hearing Wei Feng, all six entities looked over ¨C one of them, a young man with red hair and ear studs greeted Wei Feng. ¡°So, you are the one with the Power of Control?¡± The young man asked, with a smile on his face. ¡°Great. Let¡¯s make it quick ¨C I¡¯m here to kill you! Hahaha!¡± This man was filled with arrogance and wildness. In Wei Feng¡¯s perspective, it was obvious this man has never lost in life ¨C if he was spoiled, then this would be easy! ¡°Getting two Level 10 beasts easily, this Power of Control is indeed something extraordinary! I want it!¡± A young man wearing white said, an inexplicable sense of confidence laced in his voice. Wei Feng glanced at him. He was about 1.9 metres tall with a perfect body shape ¨C his appearance rivals Wei Feng himself! ¡°You must be Ling Xu?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°Yours truly.¡± He nodded, the corner of his mouth curling up, ¡°I heard that you and Ling Xiaoxiao are close ¨C how is she? I bet having a woman like her must be delicious, right?¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ ¡°You talk too much.¡± Wei Feng was silent for a bit before replying. In the face of someone born with a sense of superiority, he could not help but feel inferior. He wanted to make himself angry, and channel this anger to fight. He didn¡¯t want to chat any longer with these guys, and fight! Against a person like this, fists do most of the talking. When you crush his crutches, his arrogance and self-confidence will crumble instantly. The higher you are, the greater you fall! ¡°Go!¡± Wei Feng ordered. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird came in a ball of electricity, and with a single caw, thick arcs of electricity struck Ling Xu. ¡°Roar!¡± The Scarlet Flame Tiger roared, and stood up ¨C like a wall of fire, it shielded Ling Xu from the arcs of electricity. Electricity lingered around the tiger before fading away. This tiger is very strong! Wei Feng retreated slightly ¨C he wanted to peer into the attributes and abilities of the tiger to counter it. ¡°Huh?¡± CH 59 Chapter 59: I Love Fights Like These! Wei Feng frowned. The information on the Scarlet Flame Tiger was completely blank! The other party has the ability to hide information between himself and his beast, even those with a high Spirit Power won¡¯t be able to detect anything! ¡°Hmph!¡± Ling Xu snorted and stepped back. The red-haired young man stepped forward, and put on a strange posture, ¡°Dark Demon, chop up that bird for me!¡± ¡°Buzz!¡± The troll threw its big axe and it swirled towards Thunder Bird. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird flapped its wings, and rushed into the sky ¨C it then surrounded itself in electricity and swooped down. ¡°Boom!¡± The electricity exploded, and Thunder Bird stretched out its claws, pinning the troll to the ground and pushed. In an instant, a deep pit of more than ten metres deep was formed. ¡°Whoosh!¡± A dark green arrow shot out, and pierced the left wing of Thunder Bird ¨C a string of blood could be seen. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird shouted in pain ¨C he tried to fly into the air, but the poison on the wound spread rapidly, instantly making Thunder Bird weak. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird fell from the sky, and the Lava Giant smashed it with a punch, blasting Thunder Bird out of the mountain. Wei Feng frowned. The strength of these Level 9 beasts is strong, and with their teamwork, Thunder Bird is in trouble. The arrows shot by the elf are laced with poison from the spider too! ¡­ ¡°Crack!¡± Thunder Bird covered itself in electricity, and the dark green poison was forced out from its left wing. As a Level 10 beast, how could it fall so easily? However, those Level 9 beasts did not intend to let go of Thunder Bird that easily. The Shadow Demon phased to the left side of Thunder Bird, and used a dagger imbued with cold light to stab Thunder Bird¡¯s eyes! ¡°Watch out!¡± Wei Feng was tracing the Shadow Demon¡¯s movements, and seeing that Thunder Bird was in danger, he burned with anger. He held his metal axe and jumped up and slashed at the Shadow Demon. The Shadow Demon didn¡¯t expect Wei Feng to be that quick ¨C it could sense the power within the axe, and used its dagger to block the incoming attack. ¡°Clang!¡± The metal axe in Wei Feng¡¯s hand shattered. The fragments of the blade lashed out, two fragments plunged into the Shadow Demon¡¯s body, and one plunged into Wei Feng. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember what the owner of the weapon shop said when he bought this axe. ¡°My metal axe would never break! If it breaks, come back here! I¡¯ll replace it for you!¡± Perhaps the owner never received a bad review. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird chirped, and a lightning bolt spewed out of its mouth to knock the Shadow Demon out. However, the Shadow Demon was unscathed. The Beast Armor absorbed the lightning and most of the impact. ¡°Master! Are you alright?! I¡¯ll help you get the shards out!¡± Thunder Bird disregarded his own injury, and shielded Wei Feng with a cleansing burst of electricity, and forced the axe shards out of his body. A streak of moonlight blessed Wei Feng, and the wound was sealed immediately. [Blossom of the Silver Moon] not only increases all attributes by 100%, but also doubles his healing speed. Wei Feng¡¯s strength has reached more than 52000. Violent power surges through his body, his anger intensified. Looking at the Level 9 beasts surrounding him, Wei Feng chuckled maniacally. ¡°Let¡¯s make this fair.¡± [Summon: Wolf King]! ¡­ Wei Feng casted this ability, and streaks of moonlight fell on Mount Soft Gold. This is the Wolf King¡¯s core ability! Both Wei Feng and the Wolf King casted this ability. The Wolf King can summon five Level 9 silver moon priest, ten Level 8 ghost wolf guards, and twenty Level 7 blood wolf warriors! This adds thirty-five allies! If you add Wei Feng¡¯s part¡­ One Level 9 silver moon sacrifice, five Level 8 ghost wolf guards, ten Level 7 blood wolf warriors. Another sixteen! The entire Gourd Mouth was filled with wolves. The silver moon priests led the wolf warriors to surround the Level 9 beasts. At this time¡­ Ling Xu, who was watching behind the big tree, was dumbfounded. Things are going way out of hand now. Wei Feng, with a hint of rage, roared, ¡°Tear them apart!¡± ¡°Awoo!¡± ¡°Awoo~¡± The silver moon sacrifice is a female wolf of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. Although they are mother wolves, their combat power is not weak at all! After all, they are Level 9 beasts! And there is a reason why there are Silver Moon Priests. The priests can use the power of the moon to bless other wolves, increasing all attributes of the wolf warriors by 10%. In addition, they can perform rituals to activate [Inspire]! ¡°Awoo!¡± The group of wolves went crazy. ¡°Boom!¡± The lava giant punched ¨C even if it was armed, it couldn¡¯t even make the Silver Moon Priest flinch. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The elf tried to break through the siege, but was mauled by two wolves, and more wolves rushed up to pile on him. ¡°Puff!¡± The troll swung a giant axe and slashed a blood wolf, but a powerful palm grabbed the handle of the axe. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng grabbed the handle of the axe with one hand, and with a single hand gesture, a bolt of lightning struck out, sending the troll flying. The troll was dumbfounded. What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t that the beast master? How can he be that strong? Why can he use lightning? And why is it as strong as the Thunder Bird? ¡°I got another axe!¡± Wei Feng held the troll¡¯s battle axe, which was frighteningly powerful. He found the Shadow Demon, and slashed at it. The Shadow Demon was snared by the Silver Moon Priest at the time, and when it looked up, all it saw was an axe falling on its head. ¡°Puff!¡± The Shadow Demon was split from head to toe. The lava giant next to the Shadow Demon was splattered by the Shadow Demon¡¯s blood, and fear engulfed it. ¡°Puff!¡± Thunder Bird felt that the poison was overtaking him. ¡°What!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± The elf was being mauled by the wolves, and kept making shrill screams. Even the most elegant of beasts scream like a pig when brought down to its knees. Wei Feng stood in the middle of the wolf pack, like royalty. He looked towards the distance. The Wolf King activated his Silver Moon Domain, and the Scarlet Flame Tiger activated his own domain as well. They seem evenly matched ¨C neither party are willing to let up. CH 60 Chapter 60: S-Tier Forbidden Item [Lush Forest] Wei Feng held his battle axe and Thunder Bird swooped down with [Electricity Field]. ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder Bird opened his mouth, spewing electricity, but it was dodged. However, Wei Feng who was on the opposite side, caught the thunder bolt, and reflected an even stronger thunder bolt, bolting towards the tiger. The Wolf King¡¯s claws, blessed with moonlight, slashed at the tiger. The tiger switched its focus onto the Wolf King, but it underestimated Wei Feng¡¯s electricity. ¡°Boom!¡± Electricity pierced through the Scarlet Flame domain, and arced towards the tiger ¨C its fur exploded, and its flesh burnt ¨C the impact sending it flying. Thunder Bird swooped down, its sharp claws piercing the tiger ¨C blood spurted out. The Wolf King followed up its attack swiftly, slapping the tiger. ¡°Crack!¡± With a muffled sound, the tiger¡¯s head was twisted ninety degrees with a single slap. This fatal blow caused the tiger to stop struggling. ¡°Roar!¡± With a pitiful roar, the Scarlet Flame Tiger fell. The Wolf King stepped forward and continued bashing the tiger to make sure it was dead. The young people who stood at the tree were struck with fear, their faces pale as snow. Wei Feng glanced at the group, and the arrogant red-haired young man fell to the floor. The smell of blood permeated the air of Gourd Mouth. Ling Xu was pale as well ¨C now that his royal beast is dead, he¡¯s next. Fear struck his body. ¡°Any last words?¡± Wei Feng stepped in front of Ling Xu, smiling. The battle axe he was carrying was more than three metres long and was dripping with blood. He was like a war god. Before Ling Xu could reply, the red-haired young man crawled over and kneeled at Wei Feng¡¯s feet, ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me ¨C I have money, I¡¯ll give you anything, please-¡± ¡°Slash!¡± With a single swipe, the red-haired man was decapitated. Blood splattered out like a fountain, dyeing Ling Xu¡¯s white shirt crimson. Wei Feng could see that Ling Xu¡¯s body was trembling, eyes full of terror. ¡°Answer me! Any last words?!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s voice was calm, but filled with authority. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Slash!¡± He didn¡¯t let him finish, and beheaded him. Wei Feng¡¯s heart was beating intensely, and his fingers were trembling. The other four were trembling, and begging for forgiveness. Their arrogant demeanour was long gone. The Wolf King stepped forward, but Wei Feng stopped him. ¡°Let me deal with it.¡± Wei Feng¡¯s heart was pounding. He knew he was about to be filled with psychological trauma; this is killing another human being after all! However, this is a dog-eat-dog world. Kill or be killed. ¡°Slash!¡± ¡°Slash!¡± ¡­ One slash follows another slash ¨C these beast masters were useless without their beasts. ¡°Master! Look! A forbidden item!¡± The Wolf King pointed out. Wei Feng threw his battle axe to a side and looked at Ling Xu¡¯s headless body. A small green tree was growing out of his body. Green lights floated out from his corpse and formed into this small tree, making branches and leaves grow. Wei Feng was a little excited. This must be the S-Tier Forbidden Item that Ling Xiaoxiao described. It has two strengthening condition that can be used on royal beasts! This might be worth the killing. ¡°Caw!¡± A gust of hot wind filled the air, and Wei Feng looked up. In the air, a big bird with brightly colored feathers swooped down. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird retaliated by flapping its wings and charged with lightning. However, the big bird didn¡¯t care about Thunder Bird, and rammed into Thunder Bird. Two people jumped off the big bird, and one rushed towards the Wolf King, and the other to Ling Xu¡¯s corpse. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Wei Feng was furious ¨C the other party just snatched the forbidden item in front of him. The effects of [Silver Moon Blossom] has not faded yet ¨C Wei Feng raised his hand, blessing him with electricity and moonlight, and gave the man a big slap. ¡°Boom!¡± The slap was imbued with moonlight and lightning ¨C the impact made Thunder Bird¡¯s eyes widen. Wei Feng did not expect this. The man who rushed forward was horrified. They are both tabooists, but he has not absorbed the power of the last beast, so his current strength was that of a Level 8 beast. They were in the sky scouting, so they didn¡¯t understand how powerful Wei Feng was. They were just here to snatch the forbidden item away! What about this powerful man here? Is this a power a beast master could possess? A Level 10 tabooist is just like this! The Level 8 tabooists could only choke out two words: ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Electricity pierced through its body like an explosion. ¡°Chirp!¡± When a beast master dies, the beast will be attacked by the master¡¯s spirit power ¨C with the spirit power of this Level 8 tabooist¡­ It died on the spot! The other tabooist was frightened, and turned to flee. Wei Feng did not allow him to. Wei Feng is filled with bloodlust. He needs to teach these people a lesson. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird swooped down and intercepted the tabooist, and the Wolf King transformed into a ball of silver light, and focused all of his power onto his right paw. After catching up to the tabooist, the Wolf King slammed its paw down. ¡°Boom!¡± This claw is destructive ¨C even with the tabooist¡¯s own abilities, it all shattered under his claw. His body instantly shattered into pools of blood. ¡°Huff¡­¡± ¡°Huff¡­¡± The Wolf King¡¯s breathing was heavy, and Wei Feng found that his fur was not as shiny as before. This attack must have consumed a lot of the Wolf King¡¯s power. Wei Feng felt distressed. Turning around, Wei Feng looked at the tree growing out of Ling Xu¡¯s body. He has to get it now, or this massacre would be not worth it. He extended his palm and grabbed it. Ding! [NOTICE: To obtain S-Tier Forbidden Item [Lush Forest], you would need to sacrifice.] Sacrifice? Wei Feng frowned, then walked over to the Scarlet Flame Tiger¡¯s corpse. After touching the corpse, a prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: The attributes of [Lush Forest] will change when the Level 10 Scarlet Flame Tiger is sacrificed.] ¡­ A wisp of flame-like energy was extracted from the corpse, and spread along Wei Feng¡¯s body. [Lush Forest] overflowed with green energy, and was absorbed by Wei Feng¡¯s body. A continuous prompt sounded in his brain. Ding! [NOTICE: Energy of the Flesh increased! Current progress: 2%, 3%, 4%¡­] CH 61 Chapter 61: Energy of the Flesh; All Attributes +10000! The energy sapped from the Scarlet Flame Tiger was crimson red, and coursed itself through Wei Feng¡¯s arm; there was a slight burning sensation as well. [Lush Forest] was also coursing through his body ¨C bright, green spots were getting absorbed into his body. It was like a small tree growing within Wei Feng¡¯s body ¨C first the trunk, then the branches, then the leaves. The energy sapped from the Scarlet Flame Tiger was fuelling the tree¡¯s growth. It was like a small tree absorbing nutrients and growing. The lush green of the tree, while absorbing the energy from the tiger, slowly changed its colour. It isn¡¯t red, nor dark green ¨C it transformed into a reddish brown, like the maple colour found in the late autumn. It was beautiful. Ding! [NOTICE: Energy of the Flesh has reached 100%.] ¡­ The small tree growing within Wei Feng¡¯s body had completely changed as well ¨C it was no longer dark green, but brownish red. It was as if the tree had its roots penetrating Wei Feng¡¯s legs; its branches and leaves stretching into Wei Feng¡¯s arms; the trunk running across his body, and the canopy of the tree reaching into his brain. Wei Feng could clearly feel it, but it didn¡¯t faze him. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained an S-Tier Forbidden Item!] [NOTICE: The energy within [Lush Forest] has transformed.] [NOTICE: [Lush Forest] has been transformed into [Crown of the Red Maple].] [NOTICE: [Crown of the Red Maple] has been activated.] ¡­ Wei Feng opened his eyes, joy flashing in his eyes. It really was worth it. Not to mention, he successfully obtained the forbidden items he was looking for, and his Energy of the Flesh has reached 100%. This energy can be used to strengthen him, and he was looking forward to it. After calming down, Wei Feng looked at the headless corpses of the two tabooists. To become a tabooist, one must have a forbidden item on them. Under normal circumstances, after a person dies, the forbidden items in their body will be ejected from their body. However, there weren¡¯t any forbidden items ejected from the two tabooist¡¯s body, which surprised Wei Feng. He tried to scourge for the forbidden items on their corpses, but there were no system prompts. In the end, Wei Feng had no choice but to give up his search. However, from their corpses, he found some good items. These three bottles of azure blue potions should be the ACE Series Medicines, but one of them was slightly damaged, leaving only half of the liquid. Three pieces of ordinary quality jade bone essence, and five pieces of rare jade bone essence. This surprised Wei Feng. After looting some of the belongings, Wei Feng ordered Thunder Bird to grab the giant bird¡¯s body and left the area. The energy from the Scarlet Flame Tiger has been fully absorbed by Wei Feng. However, he didn¡¯t want to devour humanoid royal beasts like the troll and the shadow demon, let alone the poisonous spider and the elf. And it is impossible to devour the lava giant. So, this giant bird was all he had. He found a lake, and skewered the bird with the three-metre-long battle axe. He then roasted it over a fire. He didn¡¯t have much resources, so he didn¡¯t bother seasoning it. As long as he could eat it. While roasting the bird, Wei Feng sat aside, ready to utilise his Energy of the Flesh. After it reaches the progress of 100%, it can no longer store or increase power. Hence, he wants to use it now. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to extract the energy from the giant bird. The method of using it was simple ¨C just think of it, then give a command. ¡°Use!¡± As soon as Wei Feng ordered, it was as if countless small atomic bombs were set off in his body. Every single cell within his body was exploding with energy. Wei Feng¡¯s muscles were physically expanding, and his height was increasing too! Wei Feng¡¯s height was about 1.8 metres before, but now he has quickly exceeded 1.9 metres! Strength, agility, spirit power are all greatly increasing. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that this effect would be so powerful ¨C it even made him grow a bit! In the end, Wei Feng hit the height of 1.95 metres. His muscle gain were all very well-proportioned too. There is a perfect arc from top to bottom. Ding! [NOTICE: Energy of the Flesh has been exhausted.] [NOTICE: All attributes are increased by 10000.] [NOTICE: Recovery abilities are doubled.] ¡­ Wei Feng was pleasantly surprised. It was so powerful that it increased his attributes by 10000! At this time, his attributes were Strength: 36562; Agility: 34030; Spirit Power: 33532. Even though he underwent a big change, he didn¡¯t feel any discomfort. He just felt a little hungry. Two hours later, the giant bird was fully cooked. Three beasts feast on a bird. Wei Feng found that his appetite skyrocketed. The giant bird was devoured completely, leaving nothing but bones. Wei Feng successfully extracted 23% of the energy from the bird. The higher the level of the Royal Beast, the higher the value of Energy of the Flesh. At around 2pm, Wei Feng descended Mount Soft Gold. When he returned to Gourd Mouth, he found that the corpses were removed from the scene, and the dead royal beasts were also taken away. To Wei Feng¡¯s surprise, their clothes were gone too. ¡­ Coming down from Mount Soft Gold, Wei Feng did not return to Yancheng. He found a clearing where there was no one, and summoned Dragon Ape, Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow, and Ice Giant. Now that he has sufficient jade bone essence, his beasts can level up. He prepared his Ice Giant. However, when using [Crown of the Red Maple], something unexpected happened. [Crown of the Red Maple] now has a fire attribute, so it can¡¯t be used on the Ice Giant! Wei Feng felt a little helpless. It seems that he can only use the jade bone essence without imbuing it with the power from [Crown of the Red Maple]. Since his Ice Giant is unable to use [Crown of the Red Maple], then he will level up his Dragon Ape and Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow. However, before Dark Dragon Shadow can level up further, it needs to be levelled up to Level 6 first. And although Dragon Ape and Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow are beasts with special attributes, they seem to be special. When Dragon Ape used [Absolute Zero] to level itself up, its core attributes were not affected. Therefore, it shouldn¡¯t change anything. Taking out the ACE Medicine, he poured it on the snowflake tattoo on himself. After a while, a prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: [Absolute Zero] has been activated.] ¡­ The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow was sitting on the ground; his heart a little excited. Ever since Wei Feng obtained the Wolf King and Thunder Bird, he and the Dragon Ape has been stuck in the summoning space almost every day. It was extremely sad for a creature with dragon blood like him. Now that Wei Feng is finally going to help them level up, this arouses the pride in their hearts. The two royal beasts who are telepathically connected were thinking in their hearts: ¡°I am a Dragon Ape with the blood of an ancient giant ape and a holy dragon ¨C if I level up, I will use these fists of mine to break through every obstacle for my master!¡± ¡°I am the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow, with the blood of the abyss demon and a dark demon ¨C if I level up, I will kill everything that stands in the way of my master with my blade!¡± CH 62 Chapter 62: Level 10 Dragon Ape [NOTICE: [Absolute Zero] has been depleted.] [NOTICE: [Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow] has been upgraded to Level 6.] ¡­ It only took 20 minutes for the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow to level up. After reaching Level 6, Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow core ability [Source of Agility] was also increased to 30%. With this ten percent increase, Wei Feng¡¯s agility has also increased by more than 2000. Wei Feng then used [Crown of the Red Maple] to level up his Dragon Ape. [Crown of the Red Maple] had previously absorbed all of the energy from the Level 10 Scarlet Flame Tiger ¨C so, its two strengthening conditions contained massive energy. If he used this to further upgrade his Wolf King, then it may break through Level 10, which is the most cost-effective. But Wei Feng felt that he couldn¡¯t favor one beast over the other, and he didn¡¯t want his Dragon Ape and his Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow to be lacking in power. Wei Feng let his Dragon Ape absorb the essence from the jade bone essence, then stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the Dragon Ape¡¯s forehead. ¡°Here goes nothing.¡± Wei Feng ordered, and a dazzling light erupted from his arm. The Dragon Ape trembled involuntarily, but did not move. ¡°Crack!¡± As the overflowing energy entered its body, the Dragon Ape¡¯s body began to transform ¨C its joints shifted; its muscles were being moulded. Energy was coursing through its body. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape let out a painful groan. This process was always painful. The stronger the power received, the greater the pain. Wei Feng was surprised looking at the transformation. The Jade Bone Essence improves the bone structure of a beast ¨C this is an important requirement for all beasts to level up. Another requirement is energy. This energy is key in levelling up a beast ¨C under normal circumstances, levelling up means using the power and potential stored in a beast. However, this kind of levelling up relies entirely on the beast¡¯s own energy and potential, which isn¡¯t reliable. In any world, this energy must be paid attention to ¨C with Wei Feng¡¯s [Energy of the Flesh], he can obtain power by devouring other royal beasts. Power comes with a price. Seedlings that grow only on water and soil are forever inferior to seedlings that have been fertilisers. This is a principle that every living creature abides to. Forbidden items can provide immense energy, so that when a beast levels up, the forbidden items can push it to a higher level. ¡­ As time passes, Wei Feng watched the Dragon Ape¡¯s body double in size. Ten minutes ago, a pure, white light lingered around the Dragon Ape ¨C Wei Feng could vaguely make out the shape of a dragon surrounding the Dragon Ape¡¯s body. Wei Feng could feel the Dragon Ape¡¯s bloodline coursing through his beast. The changes were like day and night. ¡°Buzz!¡± From the sky, a holy light showered upon the Dragon Ape, like a god had just descended upon mortal lands. Wei Feng was also shrouded in his holy light ¨C his body was warm, and energy was coursing through his own body. The holy light continued to pour on them for half an hour; the Wolf King and Thunder Bird had already gone to patrol the surroundings to prevent unwanted guests from disturbing them. Another half an hour passed, and two dragon horns sprouted from the Dragon Ape¡¯s forehead! Wei Feng was dumbfounded. The Dragon¡¯s Ape breath had obviously become thicker; its mere presence could make a person tremble. It was still undergoing a transformation ¨C its power had no boundaries, and its power grew without constraint. This rate of increase in power made Wei Feng tremble as well. Because his own attributes were skyrocketing as well! Another half an hour passed, and the scene finally calmed down. From beginning to end, the size of the Dragon Ape had doubled, but its head was always resting on Wei Feng¡¯s hands. Wei Feng released his grip, and a burst of power erupted within him. Ding! [NOTICE: The enhancement condition of [Crown of the Red Maple] has been used. (1/2)] [NOTICE: [Dragon Ape] has reached Level 9.] [NOTICE: Dragon Ape¡¯s bloodline of the Light Dragon and Ancient Giant Ape has reached 50%.] [NOTICE: The Dragon Ape integrates the power from its bloodline, and obtains Level 10!] [NOTICE: The strength attribute of [Source of Strength] has skyrocketed.] ¡­ A series of prompts sounded in his brain; his body was coursing with power. Thunder Bird¡¯s Body Forging Method has started to operate on its own ¨C the thick arcs of electricity lingered and sparked around Wei Feng, as if he was leaking electricity. Numbness was present in his flesh and blood, which made Wei Feng frown. Every time his beasts level up, he is in danger as well. This is something other ordinary Beastmasters will never understand. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape let out a deafening roar. The roar was so deafening that it had Wei Feng seeing two. Its breath was violent as well, shaking the clearing around them. Its aura was so great that it could humble and suppress anything around the area. Wei Feng took a peek into the Dragon Ape¡¯s attribute panel, and felt that his mind was going numb too. That strength attribute was too scary! [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Dragon Ape Level: Level 10 Attribute: Light Strength: 120000 (+120000) Agility: 60000 (+30000) Spirit Power: 60000 (+30000) Bloodline Power: 50% Light Dragon¡¯s Bloodline: 10% (initial awakening). An aura of suppression and majesty is present within the Dragon Ape. It is also resistance to similar effects. Ancient Giant Ape¡¯s Bloodline: 10% (initial awakening). The Dragon Ape¡¯s attacks inflict terror and additional penetration. Core Ability: [Source of Strength] ¨C Dragon Ape has unparalleled growth in the strength attribute, with an additional 50% increase in strength. [Absolute Rage] ¨C The power of its bloodline erupts, driving it into a state of frenzy. While in a frenzy, strength is increased by 200%, agility increased by 150%, and spirit power increased by 100%. (Duration: 3500 seconds. After usage, all attributes will be decreased by 100% for 2 hours.) [Field of Power] ¨C The Dragon Ape forms a 500¡Á500 are centered on itself. In the field, other royal beasts will be suppressed, equal to double the Dragon Ape¡¯s own strength value. [Dragon Ape¡¯s Power] ¨C Increases strength by 100%. ¡­ Its strength attribute was 120,000 + 120,000! This power is crazy! Wei Feng was speechless. Its power was beyond imagination. This made Wei Feng understand one thing ¨C royal beasts that are part of a bloodline have an immeasurable growth rate. Without the bloodline¡¯s blessing, Thunder Bird was slightly weaker compared to the Wolf King. Comparing with the Silver Moon¡¯s bloodline within the Wolf King, it was no match to the Dragon bloodline and the Giant Ape bloodline within the Dragon Ape. Now, Wei Feng is looking forward to the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow. It is the completely opposite of the Dragon Ape, so its properties were already predictable! CH 63 Chapter 63: Level 10 Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow The sun was already setting; half of the sky was drowning in red. The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow knelt on the ground and lowered its head. Seeing the Dragon Ape¡¯s transformation, it was already beyond excited. Becoming a human¡¯s royal beast was worth it. And it was very lucky to have a very strong master. It also understands that both it and the Dragon Ape¡¯s bloodline is incredibly strong, but if there are no good forbidden items to utilise, then they will not be able to utilise their bloodline¡¯s power. After all, it isn¡¯t a direct descendant ¨C some of the bloodline¡¯s power has already long faded, and it is impossible to activate this power by normal means. It may even be a detriment to them. ¡°Here we go.¡± Wei Feng stretched out his palm and pressed it on the summoning mark on the Dark Dragon Shadow¡¯s forehead. ¡°Buzz!¡± As Wei Feng used [Crown of the Red Maple], energy immediately surged out from his arm. Another long process starts. But Wei Feng enjoyed it very much, as did the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow. Even though it was painful, it would be worth it. Night soon fell, and darkness swept in and enveloped the entire clearing. It was pure black ¨C Wei Feng could feel an aura that emits coldness and despair. On the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow head, behind its initial two horns, sprouted another set of dark dragon horns. Wei Feng felt a pair of dark, golden eyes staring at him through the dark fog, and the gaze had a hint of scarlet. This made Wei Feng¡¯s hair stand on their ends. It was completely different from the warmth that the holy light bathed on them ¨C instead, it was cold and dead. Like death, it was like being swallowed by an endless darkness. Experiencing this terror was invaluable to Wei Feng. Even after being forced into this world, he was still inexperienced. This immense strength can¡¯t cover for his inexperience ¨C he needs to see; he needs to hear. He needs to do so to improve quickly. ¡­ Ding! [NOTICE: [Crown of the Red Maple] has been depleted.] [NOTICE: [Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow] has reached Level 9.] [NOTICE: The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow¡¯s bloodline of the Dark Demon Dragon and Abyss Demon reaches 50%.] [NOTICE: The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow integrates the power from its bloodline, and reaches Level 10!] [NOTICE: Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow integrates the power from its abyss demon bloodline, obtaining the ability [Devil¡¯s Breath].] [NOTICE; Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow obtains the core ability [Demon¡¯s Call],] [NOTICE: Your strength and agility attributes have greatly increased from [Dragon¡¯s Power].] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Demon¡¯s Call], sourced from the Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow.] ¡­ The endless prompts made Wei Feng dumbfounded. It seems like his Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow seems to have more power within its bloodline compared to his Dragon Ape! The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow slowly got up, then knelt down on one knee. A chilling voice sounded, ¡°Thank you, master. I offer to you, my loyalty! I will never betray you.¡± ¡°Buzz!¡± As it spoke, the summoning mark on its forehead turned scarlet. Wei Feng was a little surprised. It is said that a demon holds the concept of master and servant very close to its heart. ¡°Alright. Get up.¡± Wei Feng nodded in affirmation. His own beast took the initiative to turn its summoning mark to an eternal mark, and Wei Feng spoke, ¡°From now on, your name will be Ying!¡± The Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow fell to the ground again, ¡°Thank you, master!¡± ¡°Get up! Don¡¯t kneel when you are a grand beast!¡± Wei Feng waved his hand. It wasn¡¯t like this before. It seems to be heavily affected by its bloodline. Shaking his head, it seems that nothing is perfect. ¡­ Now that Ying has reached Level 10, Wei Feng is satisfied. Only the Ice Giant is left. However, he can¡¯t help the Ice Giant now, he needs to deal with his current situation now. Sitting down, before training, Wei Feng peeked at Ying¡¯s attribute panel. It seems that Ying is no longer cursed to be the Dragon Ape¡¯s complete opposite, since its attributes are not similar to those of the Dragon Ape. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow Level: Level 10 Attribute: Dark Strength: 90000 (+90000) Agility: 130000 (+130000) Spirit Power: 70000 (+70000) Bloodline Power: 60% Dark Demon Dragon¡¯s Bloodline: 10% (initial awakening); the beast emits a suppressing aura of majesty, and can resist similar effects.

The sky was overcast with clouds, and no moonlight could be seen. Mount Soft Gold was quiet. Wei Feng trained using the Body Forging Method for three hours, and managed to temporarily control the surge of strength within his power. Although he could control it, it doesn¡¯t mean he mastered it. Wei Feng still needs to train harder if he wants to fully master this strength. Looking at his own attribute panel, he couldn¡¯t help feeling that he was one of the greatest. [Properties Panel] The Strongest Beastmaster System!

Wei Feng shattered a stone pillar more than five metres high with a single punch. With his current strength, he could only exert half of it. The strength value added within the (+) is not counted. Even then, his strength is still unparalleled, and it could rival an average Level 10 beast! ¡­ Around two in the morning, Wei Feng appeared outside the south gate of Yancheng. Trailing behind him was the Dragon¡¯s Ape, Ying, the Wolf King, and the Thunder Bird was perched on his shoulders. Both the Dragon Ape and Ying shrunk themselves as well, about the same height as Wei Feng. The Ice Giant and Spirit Hog remained within the beast summoning space, and he chose to not level up his Ice Giant for the time being. He plans to help it level up after finding a suitable forbidden item. For his original royal beast, he wanted to give it the best. ¡°Master! The city gate is closed!¡± The Wolf King pointed out. The city gate in front of them was indeed closed, and the thermal cannons on the city wall were aiming at them. In the sky, several red lights flickered ¨C helicopters were watching them. To be honest, Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to use force for things that can be resolved peacefully. It was clear that they didn¡¯t want a peaceful encounter. The thermal cannon was accumulating energy, and Wei Feng frowned. ¡°Deal with them for me.¡± ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird fluttered its wings, revealing its true form. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape was faster than him. He leapt up into the air while transforming into its true form, and started punching at the city wall. The Wolf King quickly used Silver Moon Domain, and a silver-white flower blessed the Dragon Ape. Ying quickly transformed as well, and shielded Wei Feng. ¡°Boom!¡± Ten thermal cannons were aimed at the Dragon Ape, but the blast was reflected by the Dragon Ape¡¯s single punch. A terrifying scene happened. A big hole appeared in the city wall! ¡°Boom!¡± The city wall started to collapse. Gravel splashed, and smoke and debris were present. Two light pillars deactivated. The thermal cannon between the two light pillars were destroyed by the impact of the Dragon Ape¡¯s punch, and the rest of the thermal cannons were deactivated. With a single punch, the defence system of the South Gate of Yancheng was null. ¡°Master, after you.¡± When the smoke cleared, Ying bowed and let Wei Feng walk first. To save time, Wei Feng unsummoned Dragon Ape and Ying, and sat on Thunder Bird and flew towards the downtown area of Yancheng. At this time, Yancheng¡¯s defence department was in a frenzy. The helicopters who were watching them sent a video of the Dragon Ape smashing the city wall with a single punch ¨C the officer in charge, looking at the video, turned deathly pale. ¡­ Haitang District. In the villa near an artificial lake, a room on the second floor is still lit. Ling Xiaoxiao stood in front of her window, looking at several figures standing outside the villa. She learnt that Ling Xu was dead, but Wei Feng never returned. She wanted to hire someone to find his whereabouts, but was placed under house arrest by the elders of the family. ¡°Crack!¡± With a crisp sound, a guard outside the villa fell. Like a chain reaction, the guards fell one by one, and the whole process only lasted one second! Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned, and got up and ran downstairs. A strange figure stood outside the door. Ling Xiaoxiao took a step back in fright, but then saw Wei Feng, and her eyes widened. ¡°You- how did you¡­ become like this?!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao said in shock. Wei Feng strolled into the living room and smiled, ¡°Just accidentally became stronger, no big deal. Got a nice body too. How is it? Do you like it?¡± Wei Feng was wearing a decent black suit, but it couldn¡¯t conceal his powerful body. He looked handsome. Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, ¡°You look handsome! You look very masculine.¡± Wei Feng smiled. It seems like Ling Xu¡¯s death didn¡¯t even phase her. Maybe he thought too much. ¡°By the way, thanks for taking care of the dirt,¡± she then got up to pour a drink for Wei Feng. ¡°I¡¯ll abide by my side of the agreement. So don¡¯t worry about the money, I don¡¯t want all of it anyways.¡± Wei Feng didn¡¯t speak, and stared at Ling Xiaoxiao. ¡°I thought of it for a bit. I don¡¯t want to follow through with this agreement.¡± ¡°Ah! Why? Why?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was surprised, clearly sad by the news. Wei Feng stood up, and she couldn¡¯t help but take a step back due to his tall body and the aura that radiated from him. Wei Feng stopped and muttered, ¡°My current strength has risen to a level that I didn¡¯t expect. I don¡¯t need those resources anymore.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao: ! She had already predicted this, but hearing it from Wei Feng himself made her shocked. She looked at Wei Feng¡¯s physique. Ten hours ago, she felt that Wei Feng was still human. But now, he was like a beast with an aura that could suffocate her. ¡°Well, if you need help cleaning up more dirt from your family, I¡¯d be happy to oblige,¡± Wei Feng stated. Ling Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t answer. She couldn¡¯t just say it directly ¨C it all depends on what Wei Feng does. In the end, Wei Feng stayed at her place for half an hour, then got up and left. The relationship between him and Ling Xiaoxiao is over. And her previous fantasy was shattered too, there was no possibility between the two. Early morning. Five thirty. As soon as the sky started getting brighter, the fragrance of meat buns wafted through the air. Wei Feng was sitting in a restaurant and had already eaten more than 20 steamed buns. ¡°Boss, get me another set of buns!¡± ¡­ While Wei Feng was spending his time leisurely eating steamed buns, the major financial groups in Yancheng were driven into a state of panic. They already knew what happened at the south gate, and were already preparing for the worst. The city defense department had sent all the available senior Beastmasters to the south gate. Until the walls are repaired, no beasts can enter or leave the city. Six o¡¯ clock. Wei Feng left the steamed buns restaurant, and stopped a car to hitchhike to Zhao¡¯s Consortium¡¯s largest property in Yancheng ¨C Zhao¡¯s Plaza! Zhao¡¯s Plaza contains shops, commercial buildings, malls¡­ they were all run by the Zhao¡¯s. Wei Feng silently reached the place, and wordlessly let Dragon Ape smash a two-story building. Although he didn¡¯t know where the elites of the Zhao family were, he had a way of getting those people to him. His purpose was clear ¨C he needs forbidden items, and they have to be of the Ice attribute. As long as the other party fulfils his requirements, Wei Feng wouldn¡¯t terrorize the plaza. After all, it isn¡¯t good for him to do so. Sure enough, Zhao¡¯s representatives came quickly. There was no battle. They were there to make peace. In the end, Wei Feng got what he wanted, a B-Tier [Mysterious Ice Vine]. Afterwards, he went to the Wang Business District to do the same. The Wang family was already expecting him, and directly offered another B-tier forbidden item, and it was over. Ten o¡¯ clock in the morning. Wei Feng appeared in Angel Mall. Surprisingly, the Ling family members withdrew from their positions, and Ling Xiaoxiao was restored to her former position. When he met with Ling Xiaoxiao, she looked anxious. ¡°I got bad news. Yangtze was engulfed by a Restricted Area.¡± ¡°What?!¡± CH 65 Chapter 65: Complete Corruption Outside the east gate, a grey fog spreads ¨C the pillar of light goes out. The city defence system was nothing to the energy contained in the restricted area, and falls with a slight push. A thick vine spread out from the fog and scaled the city walls, and started spreading to the inside of the city wall. ¡°Hiss!¡± A black python, more than ten metres long and half a metre thick, climbed along the vines towards the city wall. Its scales were cold, its hiss staining the air scarlet. Slithering behind the python were red and blue poisonous snakes. They intertwined and rushed towards the city wall. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Caw!¡± Within the fog, a plethora of beasts came forth with the fog. Different beasts were densely packed under the city wall. ¡°Crack!¡± With a crisp sound, the city gate was broken into. Like water, beasts poured into the city. ¡°Boom!¡± It was like an invasion of beasts, and they rushed towards the centre of Yangtze. The city defence officer has already set up a defence twenty miles away. But most of this defence is composed of intermediate Beastmasters, and their beasts were merely Level 4 to Level 6 beasts. The boss of Xingwu Colosseum and his royal beast Blue Lion were among the defence. In addition to the lion, there is only a Level 7 troll of the city defence officer. In the entire Yangtze, there were only two high-levelled royal beasts. In the city centre, the station was crowded with people ¨C but the train had already left. It would take more than ten hours for it to return from the nearest city. Some tried to escape through the underground tunnels to survive. The entirety of Yangtze was driven into chaos. Everyone knows what a Restricted Area invasion spells. Death. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Oooo!¡± The grey fog flooded the city, and the flood of beasts rushed forward. The defence was nothing. The Level 8 Blue Lion was immediately subdued by a dozen wild beasts ¨C its tall body drowning within the sea of beasts. The boss of the Xingwu Colosseum despaired. Everything he had built up within Yangtze came crashing down. ¡°Caw!¡± Suddenly, a chirp sounded. The city defence officer and the boss looked up and found two huge figures in the air. ¡°Boom!¡± The Dragon Ape was like a light that pierced through the fog, and with a single punch, dispelled the darkness within the area. ¡°Roar!¡± With a loud roar, the beasts instantly fell to the ground. The city defence officer and the boss were dumbfounded. What creature is this strong?! The two of them were petrified, but an even more terrifying scene happened. ¡°Buzz!¡± A huge force suddenly expanded. The Dragon Ape stepped forward, and the wild beasts instantly burst into pieces. The grey fog stopped its advance. ¡°Hiss!¡± The giant python began to retreat, but a black shadow flashed, and it was instantly sliced into several pieces. Wherever Ying passed, blood followed. The beast invasion was stopped within a matter of seconds. The city defence officer, the boss, and some of the surviving Beastmasters rushed out and looked at the two figures in the grey fog with excitement. ¡°We¡¯re saved! We¡¯re saved!¡± the city defence officer shouted, full of hope. The boss was also glad. He looked up at Thunder Bird and was about to say something, but his eyes widened. ¡°Watch out!¡± The boss warned Wei Feng with a loud voice. Wei Feng was busy paying attention to save the people of Yangtze, but when he heard the warning, he turned his head to look. Ah. ¡°Boom!¡± A beam of light hit Wei Feng head on. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird was hit as well ¨C the impact of the beam of light was so great that it flung both him and Wei Feng out of the air. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Protect our master!¡± The Dragon Ape and Ying ran towards Wei Feng at high speed. The Wolf King rushed out of the grey fog, and shrouded Wei Feng in moonlight. ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡­ In the air, hidden in the clouds, beams of light blasted down one after another ¨C their target was clearly Wei Feng. Although the speed of Ying was fast, it is still slower than the light beams. Three consecutive lasers grazed Wei Feng. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird flapped its wings, and imbued itself with electricity, and rushed towards the cloud. Wei Feng was getting bombarded with beams of light. The city defence officer and the boss were dumbfounded. Why attack the man who saved the city? They knew where the laser came from, and it was launched by the Cruise Flagship. This Flagship is under the federal government and is responsible for the security of major cities. The people were confused. Did the Flagship attack the wrong target? The grey fog was right in front of thrm! ¡°Buzz!¡± The grey fog receded like a tide. ¡°Whoosh!¡± A laser shot out again, shooting Thunder Bird down. ¡°Come back!¡± A loud roar could be heard. Anyone could hear the anger contained in that voice. The Dragon Ape and Ying had already rushed to Wei Feng and protected him. Wei Feng walked past them, and stared into the clouds, directly at where the Flagship was hidden. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird flew back with a scorched black patch on his right wing ¨C it was the wing that shielded Wei Feng from continuous fire. ¡°Master! Are you alright?!¡± The Wolf Kign also ran over, and shielded Wei Feng. Wei Feng continued staring into the clouds until the ship disappeared from view. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wei Feng looked back at Yangtze, and stepped on Thunder Bird¡¯s back. He unsummoned his Dragon Ape, Ying, and the Wolf King. They then flew away from Yangtze. ¡°Master, are you alright?!¡± After flying out of Yangtze for dozens of miles, Thunder Bird asked worriedly. Wei Feng shook his head. He was strangely calm. ¡°I¡¯m okay. Let¡¯s find a place to rest! I¡¯m tired,¡± Wei Feng said. He couldn¡¯t hide the loneliness in his voice. His mood was gradually darkening. He thought that this world could accept him, and that he could be recognised as the same kind. However, it didn¡¯t turn out that way. The Cruise Flagship was not aiming at the beast tide, but him! Why? Wei Feng felt that he had not done anything too extreme. When he was in Yancheng, several major financial groups plotted his death. All he did was smash a building and took two forbidden items. He was thinking of the ordinary people at the time, because no matter how he destroyed that building, the representatives of the consortium would definitely come forward. But in the end, it was the ordinary people who suffered. When an accident happened in Yangtze, he came immediately. The price of stopping the sea of beasts and protecting the survivors was apparently death. Wei Feng didn¡¯t expect the cannon to be aimed at him! ¡­ ¡°Master! Let¡¯s rest by the river over there!¡± Thunder Bird then swooped down and landed by a river. Wei Feng got off the Thunder Bird and summoned his beasts and sat on a large rock, deep in thought. He wanted to find a reason as per why the laser was aimed at him, but couldn¡¯t. He looked up, and saw that his beasts were looking at him with worry. ¡°Squeak!¡± The Spirit Hog jumped onto his shoulder, holding a bright red fruit and handing it to Wei Feng. Wei Feng¡¯s heart was violently tugged by something. An idea crossed Wei Feng¡¯s mind and refused to leave. He wants to create a faction, a homeland, an empire! CH 66 Chapter 66: Transformation A bonfire was made by the river, and Wei Feng was still pondering his big plan on the rock. If he wants to build an empire, just talking won¡¯t do anything ¨C he needs to have a framework, and put it into action. Wei Feng isn¡¯t experienced in this aspect, but after so many fights, he understands one truth ¨C the more the people, the more powerful they are! Getting enough people is the first step in building a homeland. Yes! This was his plan. He and Ying can use [Demon¡¯s Call] once a day, so he should start with this. Wei Feng was confident in his plan. ¡°Ow! Ow! Ow!¡± A strange cry sounded in the distance. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but look up. In the south east direction, an old white-haired monkey holding a stick with a white strip of cloth tied to it was limping towards them. ¡°My lords! I¡¯m an envoy from the Restricted Area of the Fog! I require your opinions!¡± The old monkey shouted loudly while waving his stick. What¡¯s going on? Wei Feng motioned Ying to investigate. Ying nodded, and transformed into a black light and appeared behind the white monkey. Then, Ying transported the old monkey over. ¡°Oof!¡± The old monkey knelt down while holding his stick as support, ¡°My kings! I need your opinions.¡± Wei Feng leapt off the big rock, ¡°You said you were from the Restricted Area of the Fog, which means you were the Restricted Area that invaded Yangtze, right?¡± ¡°Your Majesty¡­!¡± The old monkey immediately bowed his head, ¡°Your Majesty, it cannot be considered an invasion ¨C in fact, I regard it as resistance and revenge!¡± ¡°A resistance?¡± This surprised Wei Feng. ¡°Then, why are you here to ask us for advice?¡± Wei Feng frowned. ¡°Your Majesty, my master wants a word from you ¨C will you still protect Yangtze?¡± The old monkey raised his head and looked at Wei Feng. Wei Feng instead asked, ¡°So what? Are you still going to invade Yangtze?¡± ¡°Your Majesty, I just said ¨C we are a resistance, not an invasion.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng chuckled and leaned on the big rock, ¡°Then, enlighten me ¨C what is this resistance you speak of?¡± Hearing the sarcasm in Wei Feng¡¯s voice, the old monkey shook his head, ¡°Your Majesty, as a human being, you wouldn¡¯t understand our motives. What if you were a weak beast? A weak beast with something valuable?¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng was in fact, enlightened. It isn¡¯t easy to change a person¡¯s view. Humans have betrayed him ¨C although he thinks that it isn¡¯t a big deal to not interact with humans, in the end, he is still human. It cannot be changed. The old monkey¡¯s words made him ponder. When he first got forced into this world, he received the Power of Control. To avoid the pursuit of others, he fled to Yancheng. When he was in Yancheng, he became strong, but he was still hunted by the major financial groups, and was forced to flee the city like a dog. Was he really a human being in the eyes of Yangtze and Yancheng? Maybe, they didn¡¯t think of him as human. Otherwise, why was Ling Xu so insistent on killing him? ¡°Your Majesty, do you know our living conditions before?¡± The old monkey said. There weren¡¯t any Restricted Areas back then. At that time, beasts were hunted, and captured and forcibly summoned by humans to be used as royal beasts. All minorities live in dire states. Until one day, Restricted Areas forced humans to change and adapt, and this hunting activity was drastically reduced. Most of the beasts fled to Restricted Areas and huddled together, and took advantage of the Restricted Areas to defend themselves against humans. However, human beings can evolve. Even if the beasts are well protected by the Restricted Areas, it was only a matter of time. Some powerful adventurers enter the Restricted Areas to hunt for some rare beasts and steal some part of them, or capture their offspring to cultivate them into royal beasts. The beasts are still oppressed. Although this is a reality, Restricted Areas give the beasts hope. With the expansions of Restricted Areas, they can capture human cities and avenge their fallen kin. ¡­ ¡°Your Majesty, I once had fourteen descendants, and thirteen of them were captured by humans ¨C and some died in the hands of your royal beast.¡± The old monkey then glanced at the Dragon Ape. The Dragon Ape was embarrassed. As royal beasts, they cannot help themselves. ¡°Your Majesty¡­¡± ¡°Enough.¡± Wei Feng interrupted the monkey. He had mixed feelings now. To be honest, he felt cowardly. If he wasn¡¯t forced into this world, he would be a technical student at an engineer school in his original world, and he might be playing video games with his roommates in his air-conditioned dormitory. This decision is too heavy for him to make. He isn¡¯t big enough to make such a big decision. The world is very big ¨C even if he was powerful, it is merely one among millions. He just wants to survive. And not do things for anyone, but only for himself! ¡°Go back and tell your master, I will no longer protect Yangtze, nor will I protect any city.¡± Wei Feng announced. ¡°Thank you, your Majesty!¡± The old monkey knelt and stretched out his left hand, revealing a grey-black stone. ¡°My master said, if your Majesty is no longer protecting human cities, I shall give this stone to you,¡± he said. Ying stepped forward to inspect the stone, then handed it to Wei Feng. Wei Feng played with the grey stone in his hand, and asked, ¡°What else did your master say?¡± ¡°If you want to use it, you have to crush it,¡± he replied. ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng nodded, and ordered the monkey to leave. ¡°Thank you, Your Majesty!¡± The old monkey bowed and hesitated for a moment, ¡°I¡­ forgive you.¡± Wei Feng: ! The old monkey then turned around and limped into the night. Wei Feng was speechless. He sighed, then turned to the Dragon Ape, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Ooo¡­¡± The Dragon Ape started to weep. Tears rolled down and wet the grass beneath them. Wei Feng was silent. Did he make the correct decision? CH 67 Chapter 67: Restricted Area Opening Wei Feng still sat on the big rock and held the grey stone. Using [Abyss Peek], he probed the function of the stone. [Exploration Panel] Target: Forbidden Rough Stone Function: Create a Restricted Area. Description: This is a rough stone derived from the birth of Restricted Areas. They are extremely precious. ¡­ It can generate Restricted Areas! Wei Feng glanced around. The location here isn¡¯t bad ¨C there is a forest beside them, and the river runs through the forest. Yangtze is located more than 200 miles away from them to the east. To the north, there is a large mountain; to the west, an endless plain. He looked at the grey stone, then crushed it. ¡°Crack!¡± The grey stone shattered. Mist overflowed from the shattered stone, then penetrates into Wei Feng¡¯s body. Ding! [NOTICE: You have absorbed Forbidden Energy.] [NOTICE: You can now create a Restricted Area.] [NOTICE: To create a Restricted Area, bind a main Forbidden Item.] ¡­ Wei Feng bound his [Crown of the Red Maple]. ¡°Buzz!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s body radiated red light, and red-light spots floated out of his body and landed on the soil next to the big stone. A small red tree started to sprout out from the ground and grew rapidly. Wei Feng widened his eyes. [Crown of the Red Maple] is materializing in real life! The Dragon Ape and Ying came over and surrounded the small tree and studied it. They are about to witness the birth of a Restricted Area! The small tree grew rapidly ¨C its trunk became thick; its branches stretched out; its leaves lush. Two metres, three metres, four metres¡­ It grew taller and taller, surpassing Wei Feng, then surpassing the Dragon Ape and Ying. In the end, the tree grew to a height of thirty metres ¨C its canopy stretched out, covering a radius of several hundred metres. The big rock Wei Feng was sitting on was now leaning on the tree trunk. Looking up at the canopy, Wei Feng saw a layer of grey fog spread, covering the surrounding area for several miles. Ding! [NOTICE: You have successfully bound your Forbidden Item into a Restricted Area.] [NOTICE: Your Restricted Area has been formed into an area of 5000¡Á5000.] [NOTICE: [Crown of the Red Maple] has been activated.] ¡­ Wei Feng felt powerful. Although [Crown of the Red Maple] has been separated from his body, he is still under control of the item. Moreover, Wei Feng can sense anything within the 5000¡Á5000 range of his Restricted Area. Ding! [NOTICE: Your Restricted Area information chain is now available.] [TIP: A rule can now be set for your Restricted Area.] ¡­ Restricted Area information chain? He felt curious and checked it. [Restricted Area] Owner: Wei Feng Grade: E-Tier Range: 5000¡Á5000 Forbidden Item: [Crown of the Red Maple] ¨C Activated. Expansion Conditions: House 100 Level 3 or above beasts. (7/100) Rules: 1 ¡­ It is an E-Tier Restricted Area, which is the lowest possible level. With [Crown of the Red Maple] has the bound Forbidden Item, the radius of five miles is so large. And if he wants to upgrade this Restricted Area, he needs to accommodate a hundred beasts Level 3 or above. It seems like there weren¡¯t any specific requirements either ¨C he could force creatures to inhabit the space, or make them submit to you. Now that Wei Feng is the only one in the Restricted Area, there were seven of them. ¡­ His dream of making a homeland was fulfilled suddenly. Although it was a little barren, Wei Feng was still happy. From now on, this will be their home. ¡°Ying, come here.¡± Wei Feng stood on the big rock. [Crown of the Red Maple]¡¯s trunk was brown and red, and emitted a soft light that brightens up the surroundings. Ying came to Wei Feng, its tall body heroic under the tree¡¯s light. ¡°Let¡¯s use [Demon¡¯s Call], you first.¡± Wei Feng urged. ¡°Alright, master.¡± Ying began to summon. [Demon¡¯s Call] differs from the Wolf King¡¯s [Summon: Wolf King]. The former is a permanent summon, while the latter is not permanent. Dark energy poured out, and a portal was formed. ¡°Buzz!¡± The portal trembled slightly, and a black claw protruded. ¡°Roar!¡± The low roar was like a roar from the abyss, and a sturdy demon with thick demon horns and fleshy wings with a black tail crawled out of the portal. ¡°Stomp!¡± ¡°Stomp!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng noticed the demon¡¯s feet were hooves on fire! ¡°Huff¡­¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The demon had no intention of surrending to Ying or Wei Feng. It looked at Wei Feng condescendingly. ¡°Boom!¡± Within the next second, a big fist slammed into the demon and forced it to the ground. Ying quickly activated [Devil¡¯s Breath], and the demon was humbled. Wei Feng looked disdainfully at the demon who was now kneeling. How pathetic. Wei Feng shook his head. The first demon was useless. ¡°Buzz!¡± Fortunately, before the portal dissipated, another demon stepped out. The demon was similar to the first one, but immediately knelt down as soon as it came out. Then, demons continued to step out of the portal, until there were a total of ten demons. Nine demons stood in a row ¨C all of them were five metres tall, and they were almost identical. As for the first demon, it was kneeling in pain. For now, Wei Feng leaves it up to Ying to cure it with [Devil¡¯s Breath]. Wei Feng probed a demon¡¯s properties. [Properties Panel] Target: Great Demon Level: Level 7 Attribute: Dark Strength: 3350 Agility: 3280 Spirit Power: 3270 Demon¡¯s Body: A body honed in the harsh environment of the abyss, and naturally has a strong defence and resistance. Core Abilities: [Great Demon Slash] ¨C Gathers dark energy within the body to slash, dealing damage equal to double the strength value. [Devil¡¯s Fire] ¨C The demon leaves a trail of flame wherever they walk. ¡­ This is very strong! Wei Feng stood on the big rock and used [Demon¡¯s Call]. ¡°Buzz!¡± This portal was darker than the portal Ying summoned. The Dragon Ape, Ying, and the Wolf King stared at the portal, looking forward to what kind of demon Wei Feng could summon. However, after a while, there was no movement from the portal. Ying stated, ¡°Master, you don¡¯t have demon blood in you, so you might not be able to summon demons.¡± As soon as Ying spoke, a slender thigh stepped out of the portal. Wei Feng: ! Ying: !! CH 68 Chapter 68: Blood Contract The exposed thighs were snow-white and delicate. The short, black skirt wrapped around curvy buttocks; the waist was slender; a plump chest that even black leather armor couldn¡¯t hide; a beautiful neck¡­ Wei Feng was dumbfounded. The creature, if not for the slender tail resting on her hip and the pair of small black wings on her back, and the dark red horns, one could mistake her for a human being. Especially her face ¨C it is the face that women would kill for. ¡°Buzz!¡± The dark portal dissipated, indicating that Wei Feng could only summon this one demon. It¡¯s clear that this female demon was a little different. ¡°Ah.¡± The female demon glanced around, then stared at Wei Feng with dark red eyes, ¡°So, it was a human who opened such a high-levelled portal!¡± Wei Feng: ! She understands the human language! She must be at least Level 9. Before Wei Feng could say anything, the female demon said, ¡°Allow me to introduce myself ¨C my name is Lilith Antesya.¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ What¡¯s going on?! A first name and a last name, too! ¡°Master, she is very dangerous!¡± As soon as Ying heard the name, he immediately shielded Wei Feng. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape let out a holy aura, and shielded Wei Feng as well. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Caw!¡± The Wolf King and Thunder Bird all came and surrounded Wei Feng. ¡°Woah, woah, hey!¡± Lilith spoke, ¡°Is this how you treat a lady?¡± His beasts were unmoved, and stepped closer to Wei Feng. ¡°Ah.¡± Lilith looked helpless, ¡°I¡¯m afraid of you guys ¨C if I knew there were a bunch of rude boys here, I wouldn¡¯t have stepped through that portal!¡± As she spoke, she bit her finger, and drew a dark red rune with her blood. After the rune was formed and floating in the air, Lilith took two steps back and made a gesture with her hands to Wei Feng. This looks like a summoning symbol! Wei Feng used [Abyss Peek] to probe the rune. [Exploration Panel] Target: Blood Pact Rune Function: Use Spirit Power to initiate a contract. Explanation: A contract rune made by Lilith Antesya ¨C this blood contract is very ancient! After the contract is formed, the one with a higher Spirit Power becomes the master, while the lower becomes the servant. ¡­ Ah! So she is playing games like this. Wei Feng glanced at Lilith ¨C she is cunning. After she drew the contract rune, she innocently stepped back as if she was about to submit to Wei Feng. In general, no normal human would have forbidden items like [Abyss Peek]. Normal humans would immediately touch the rune. After all, who wouldn¡¯t want a powerful and sexy demon? After all, this is a world of beasts. A dog-eat-dog world. Nobody would even ask the function of the rune. If the description was true, then one must be the master, and the other must be the servant. ¡­ There is still one last usage for [Abyss Peek], so Wei Feng used it to probe Lilith. [Exploration Panel] Target: Elite Demon Level: Level 10 Attribute: Dark Mana: 8000/8000 Strength: 60000 Agility: 70000 Spirit Power: 80000 Forbidden Items: ??? Core Abilities: [Blood Contract] ¨C A contract handed down within the Antesya bloodline. Every time a contract is fulfilled, receive 10% of the creatures full attributes. Dark Magic: [Dark Orb] ¨C Consume 10 mana to fling a dark energy ball, exploding when it hits a target. [Dark Cage] ¨C Consumes 500 mana to form a cage with a Dark Attribute ¨C the cage¡¯s defence is equal to her Spirit Power. [Darkness Invades] ¨C Consumes 50% current mana to telephatically attack a target equal to 1.5 times Spirit Power. Special Powers: ??? ¡­ After seeing her attribute panel. Wei Feng was surprised. Is this a magic demon? Wrong. On the exploration panel, demons are marked. Wei Feng noticed this. The one he summoned was not a demonic creature. So, what went wrong? Wei Feng was filled with doubt. But, no matter how Lilith entered through the portal, it is time to give in to the contract. Lilith had 80000 Spirit Power, while he had 84000. He was just a little higher than her. In addition, Wei Feng really likes her. She is too powerful. Not only does she carry a forbidden item that cannot be detected, she also has other special abilities! Wei Feng leapt from the big rock, and came to the floating rune. ¡°You have got to hurry up! The rune will disappear after a while, and I can only conjure one once per day!¡± Lilith reminded. ¡°Well, I¡¯m not going anywhere,¡± Wei Feng then reached out to the rune. ¡°By the way,¡± he spoke, hand hovering over the rune. ¡°Can this rune really make you my beast? You won¡¯t lie to me, right?¡± Wei Feng¡¯s acting is really good. But it was unnecessary ¨C the rune was in front of him, after all. Just grab it, and it is done. However, he was in front of a sexy demon like Lilith, so he couldn¡¯t help but tease her a bit. Lilith smiled, ¡°That¡¯s for you to find out. I¡¯m not going anywhere either.¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Wei Feng chuckled, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll grab it.¡± He grabbed the red rune. ¡°Buzz!¡± The dark red light pulsed out of Wei Feng¡¯s hand and spread into his body, and part of the red light floated towards Lilith. The red mist floated towards Lilith, and gathered into a small rune onto her forehead. ¡°Huh?!¡± Lilith opened her eyes. She looked at Wei Feng in disbelief, ¡°You¡­ your Spirit Power¡­ how is this possible¡­?¡± Wei Feng smiled. Ding! [NOTICE: You have imposed a [Blood Contract], and you are the Master.] [NOTICE: You have connected a blood contract.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Blood Contract].] ¡­ A chain of prompts sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s brain, which contained all the information about Lilith. However, he noticed he did not obtain attribute bonuses from Lilith via Power of Control. It seems that it only has an effect on beasts, and not creatures like Lilith. CH 69 Chapter 69: Lilith Antesya He could finally read what forbidden items and special abilities she was hiding. [Forbidden Items] Name: Dark Codex Level: SSS-Tier Effect: Grants the bearer the ability to cast dark magic. Description: This is a book that records dark magic spells. You can only learn one spell after reaching certain conditions. ,,, It turns out the dark magic Lilith was using came from this forbidden item. He didn¡¯t expect it to be SSS-Tier! SSS-Tier! Wei Feng thought to himself, could he also cast dark magic? However, Wei Feng looked at Lilith, and couldn¡¯t find this Dark Codex on her. He shook his head. It isn¡¯t good to ask for Forbidden Items as soon as they completed a contract. Wei Feng then looked at her special abilities, and his eyes widened. [Fuse] ¨C Lilith can combine with the person whom she made a contract with into a single body. Their attributes and abilities are then combined. Fuse¡­! Wei Feng glanced at Lilith, so she can combine with him? No! I am the master. I will only let her combine if I want to! He thought to himself. ¡°My lord! My lord!¡± Seeing Wei Feng looking at her, Lilith shouted in despair. They shared an information chain. Now that Wei Feng can see her information, so could she. Lilith was taken aback by Wei Feng¡¯s attributes. Wei Feng has more than 360000 strength, and Lilith gets a 10% bonus, which is 36000. It is equivalent to almost half of her own strength! She finally understood why she became the servant. She surrendered to him. ¡°Master, you have so many forbidden items on you!¡± Lilith stated, tying her silver-white hair into a ponytail. ¡°Master, you are too powerful!¡± Lilith commended sincerely. ¡­ Wei Feng¡¯s mind drifted to other places. Even if it were other men, their minds would surely drift off too. Lilith¡¯s body had demonic characteristics ¨C wings, horns, and a tail. This made her somewhat tempting. Coupled with her delicate features, she really is perfect. If it weren¡¯t for the contract, Wei Feng would definitely feel flustered when looking at her. Late at night. They were grilling fish around a bonfire. Wei Feng and Lilith sat on a big rock with their backs resting against the tree trunk, and had a deep talk. After their talk, Wei Feng understands Lilith a lot more. And Lilith shared a lot of her experiences with Wei Feng too. Her origin space was a ruined place, filled with dark red. The living conditions were harsh. She also shared history of the Antesya blood. The Antesya family were the royal family among demons, but because of an accident, the blood of Antesya was mixed with the genes of a devil, and they fell from the royal family. ¡­ Early in the morning. Wei Feng sat on the big rock and looked at Lilith who was sitting cross-legged beside him. Lilith¡¯s body was shrouded in dark rays of light ¨C her plump breasts rose and fell with heavy breathing. She was absorbing the immense strength that she shares with Wei Feng now via [Dark Code]. The rays of sunshine soon fell upon them, and [Crown of the Red Maple] swayed and glowed under the light ¨C its lush leaves rustled under the sunlight, as if they were covered with a layer of gold. Lilith opened her eyes and shielded them; her ruby eyes full of surprise. ¡°Master, look! The sun is so beautiful!¡± Lilith has never seen the sun before. Where she was from, was a constant dark red. ¡°Ah!¡± Lilith stood up and shouted in the direction of the Sun energetically. Wei Feng sat on the stone and stared at Lilith. She was exhibiting a cheerful and delightful aura ¨C he felt like he was about to fall in love. ¡°Master, look! The river is so clear too! There are fish swimming inside! I wanted to go down and swim last night!¡± Lilith leapt off the stone and jumped into the river. ¡°Ha ha!¡± ¡°This river is so cool!¡± ¡°Wow! Look! What a big fish!¡± Lilith grabbed a big fish with her bare hands and wanted to bite down. Wei Feng: ! Wei Feng came back to his senses. ¡°Wait! Lilith! You can¡¯t eat fish like this, you got to cook it first!¡± Wei Feng pulled Lilith up from the river. ¡°You¡¯re right. I forgot!¡± Lilith stuck out her tongue and spat out the raw fish she had bitten. Seeing Lilith¡¯s innocent appearance, he felt distressed. He reached out a palm and wiped away a trace of blood from the corners of her mouth, ¡°You won¡¯t go back to that wretched place anymore. I¡¯ll protect you. No one will dare to bully you anymore.¡± ¡°Master¡­¡± Lilith was moved, her ruby eyes glinting with sparkle. ¡°Agh! Dragon Ape, you stepped on my tail!¡± ¡°Shh! Be quiet!¡± ¡°Thunder Bird, your talons are poking at me!¡± Behind the tree, the beasts crowded together and peeked at the scene before them, watching Wei Feng and Lilith share a moment together. The Wolf King muttered, ¡°I used to think Master wasn¡¯t interested in women, turns out, he just didn¡¯t meet his type!¡± The Thunder Bird nodded, ¡°In this case, I guess Lilith can¡¯t be considered a beast! Should we respect her like how we respect Master?¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The Wolf King slapped Thunder Bird with his paw, ¡°That¡¯s obvious! She must be treated like our Master!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Ying nodded earnestly, ¡°The Wolf King is right. We will call Lilith Antesya our Mistress!¡± ¡°Mistress!¡± They all gave a thumbs up. ¡­ Wei Feng and Lilith stood under the morning light, their legs submerged in the river, embracing each other like a pair of lovers. He was fascinated by Lilith. The only male capable of matching with Lilith is him, and the two were connected by the power of her contract. This makes it easier for them to be attracted to each other. It is impossible for them to not make mistakes, however. The two are like dry wood and fire. They were polar opposites. It wasn¡¯t like their development was fast either, after all, Wei Feng was the master, Lilith the servant. However, Wei Feng did not forget his beasts. In the morning, Wei Feng used [Mysterious Ice Vine] and a piece of rare Jade Bone Essence to help the Ice Giant level up, and it reached Level 6 quickly. This way, the Ice Giant will not be able to use forbidden items to level up for a while. It needs to accumulate natural energy for a period of time. After [Crown of the Red Maple] was bound to the Restricted Area, it was activated once again. Wei Feng intends to use it to level up his Wolf King and Thunder Bird. The Wolf King differs from other beasts as well. He can absorb the strengthening conditions of Forbidden Items without limit, and is not restricted by the same Forbidden Item. Even if the Dragon Ape and Ying had more powerful bloodlines compared to the Wolf King, their potential power pales in comparison to the Wolf King. After all, the most important thing in Wei Feng¡¯s possessions are Forbidden Items! CH 70 Chapter 70: Destruction of the Cruise Flagship For example, the Forbidden Item used will affect the growth limit of the Restricted Area. The Forbidden Energy generated within the Restricted Area will give priority to the main Forbidden Items. Which is why the [Crown of the Red Maple] can be activated when the Restricted Area was created! It absorbed all the forbidden energy. And how is forbidden energy born? There are many sources ¨C creatures living within the Restricted Area, every grass and tree growing within the Restricted Area, even a single stone can generate some forbidden energy. ¡­ In the afternoon, Wei Feng ordered Dragon Ape to go to the forest down south to cut down some trees. He wants to build some wooden houses next to the tree. In a single afternoon, the frames of five wooden houses have been built. Evening. Wei Feng took Lilith and Ying and rode Thunder Bird into Yangtze. They looked at Yangtze, then flew towards the centre of the Restricted Area of the Fog. Now, Yangtze was completely shrouded in grey fog. The once prosperous area of Yangtze was now in ruins. Half an hour later, they arrived at the centre of the Restricted Area. Thunder Bird landed after scouting for a safe place to land. Beside a pool, the old monkey from before stood in the clearing and waited for them. Thunder Bird landed by the monkey, and Wei Feng got down alongside Lilith and Ying. ¡°Are you the real owner of the Restricted Area after all?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°No! It¡¯s normal for you to have this doubt, but Your Majesty, I am not the owner of this Restricted Area. My master felt your presence, and asked me to welcome you.¡± The old monkey then gestured him to go before him. By the pool, there were two stone tables with a fruit platter on them. He took Lilith to sit by the stone table, while Ying took guard. The old monkey looked at Lilith, then at Wei Feng, ¡°For your Majesty to come all the way here, what is the issue at hand?¡± Wei Feng said directly, ¡°I need to locate the Cruise Flagship that attacked me. Do you know where it is?¡± The old monkey widened his eyes excitedly, ¡°Do you want to shoot it down? That¡¯s great! I will ask my master.¡± Wei Feng shook his head as he saw the old monkey limp away. It seems that many beasts have fallen under the Cruise Flagship. ¡°Master, do you want something to eat?¡± Lilith then peeled a banana and handed it to Wei Feng. Wei Feng tasted it. It was sweet. ¡°We need to plant some fruit trees in our area soon.¡± Wei Feng muttered. Ying took a fruit and stuffed it into his house. Their Restricted Area is somewhat barren. Nothing but a river to catch some fish to eat. After a while, the old monkey returned. Wei Feng knew what was about to happen with the old monkey¡¯s smile. Sure enough, he said, ¡°Your Majesty, the Cruise Flagship is parked fifty miles north of Yangtze!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng got up, taking a few bananas with him. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird flapped his wings and left the pool. North of Jiangcheng. Behind a hill fifty miles away from Yangtze, a black Cruise Flagship was parked. Only a dozen people were in the flagship ¨C among them was a tabooist, who was the captain of the flagship. They were about to leave earlier, but received an order to find an item within Yangtze, so they were delayed. ¡°Caw!¡± In the sky, Thunder Bird announced his arrival. Electricity arced around him. A laser shot out, aiming at Thunder Bird, but a tall figure blocked the shot for Thunder Bird. ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡­ Behind the hill, several lasers grazed past them. The sky soon became calm again. The tall figure suspended itself in the air, the black wings on their body vibrated, and black light shielded its body. Wei Feng and Lilith merged as a single body. Wei Feng¡¯s body doubled in size, and gained a pair of black wings and a pair of horns. Their powers and abilities are now shared, and Wei Feng is the host of the body. This feeling is strange ¨C this strength and additional abilities were foreign, but he could use it as if it was his own arm. ¡°Boom!¡± Ying swooped below, then immediately rushed towards the Cruise Flagship. Wei Feng flexed his wings, and swooped down as well. Thunder Bird soon followed. ¡°Buzz!¡± Around Wei Feng, dark energy balls were conjured, and blasted towards the hill like cannonballs. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Another laser shot out, aiming for Wei Feng. Wei Feng didn¡¯t bother to dodge, and shielded himself with black light. ¡°Boom!¡± The laser dissipated into nothing, and Wei Feng was not hurt at all. ¡°Boom!¡± The hill soon collapsed, revealing the hidden Cruise Flagship. Wei Feng crashed into it. ¡°Boom!¡± Another explosion sounded, and a big hole formed in the Cruise Flagship. Wei Feng landed in the hull of the Cruise Flagship. A middle-aged man stood before him. The man was unusually burly and had a set of gauntlets in his hands. They looked heavy and used. ¡°Beast!¡± The middle-aged man opened his mouth, and his words stung. ¡°You may be strong, but countless monsters like you died under my fists. You will face the same fate.¡± He then activated his gauntlets, and they emitted a fiery red light. ¡°Boom!¡± The middle-aged man punched the air, and two red lights shot out from his gauntlets. Wei Feng was surprised, and raised his hand to block ¨C the beams hit his arm and palm, and it tingled. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng waved his arms and split the beam in half, but in an instant, the man appeared in front of him, and punched his left cheek. ¡°Bang!¡± The man then kicked Wei Feng¡¯s chest, and leapt off his chest. Wei Feng: ¡­ He can¡¯t believe he was punched by his opponent! How pathetic. Were his strength and agility just for show? Wei Feng was angry. Wei Feng started to sprint ¨C the man had just landed, and found that Wei Feng was in front of him. He tried to punch him, but Wei Feng was faster, and directly hit the man¡¯s face. ¡°Bang!¡± The man¡¯s body flew out like a cannonball. Wei Feng followed his body, and kicked his body from the air. ¡°Bang!¡± In an instant, the man¡¯s body exploded ¨C his bones shattered, blood painted the sky. A Level 10 tabooist is nothing to him ¨C as long as Wei Feng was around, that tabooist will not survive for two seconds! CH 71 Chapter 71: Unknown Seeing only a dozen people, Wei Feng was a little skeptical. He interrogated them ¨C a spineless man told him the whereabouts of his other crewmates. Turns out, an elite team was dispatched onto Yangtze to look for a very important item. This caught Wei Feng¡¯s attention. If the Federation was willing to risk their lives to obtain this item, then he¡¯s interested in that item as well. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to separate his body with Lilith, so Wei Feng spread out his black wings and flew back to Yangtze. Thunder Bird and Ying then dragged the Cruise Flagship back to their Restricted Area under Wei Feng¡¯s orders. Current time. In the dilapidated city of Yangtze, it was shrouded in grey fog. It was incredibly dark. Some wild beasts roamed the city, looking for easy prey. In the central part of the city, a few lights flickered beneath a collapsed building. A fully-armed team and eight high-levelled Shadow Demons who were all equipped with Beast Armaments emerged from a gap in the building and were about to leave. Those flickering lights were especially obvious in the dark night, and Wei Feng flew there in an instant. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Swooping down from the air, he landed in front of the elite team. ¡°Boom!¡± Dust was flying; ruined buildings next to them collapsed a second time due to his landing¡¯s impact. ¡°We¡¯re under attack!¡± ¡°Get into formation! Protect the box!¡± In the dust, someone shouted. This made Wei Feng frown. There is zero possibility that an elite team was this stupid. Right? Wei Feng realised they were making this show on purpose. ¡°Whoosh!¡± In an instant, he phased behind the person holding the box, and grabbed it. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Ah! He¡¯s a monster! Watch out!¡± The man turned around and shouted in horror. Wei Feng: ¡­ This was the second time he was called a monster. He ignored him, and opened the box to confirm his suspicions ¨C it was empty. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng took off into the air in an instant. The elite team below him turned off their lights, and retreated down south. Seeing this, Wei Feng flew south as well. If someone from their team sneaked away earlier, then they would definitely return to the Cruise Flagship. ¡°Master, in the east!¡± Lilith¡¯s voice sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s brain. ¡°I felt powerful magic in the east!¡± Lilith explained. Magic? A trace of doubt flashed in Wei Feng¡¯s face. ¡°It must be the item you¡¯re looking for.¡± Wei Feng nodded, and flew towards the east. ¡°Over there!¡± Lilith voiced again. Wei Feng stopped and looked carefully. Because of the restrictions within a Restricted Area, spirit power cannot be spread easily ¨C otherwise, he would¡¯ve used it to scan the area. ¡°Crack!¡± A very faint sound could be heard. It was the sound of bones twisting ¨C this caught Wei Feng¡¯s attention. ¡°Whoosh!¡± He dived downwards towards the source of the sound. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Wei Feng saw a silhouette jump off a roof and dash towards the east ¨C its speed surprised him. It was a tabooist! That person must be a tabooist, and they are stronger than the captain of the Cruise Flagship. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng immediately took off, breaking the sound barrier. He conjured dark energy balls, since dark magic isn¡¯t restricted by the rules of the Restricted Area. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom! Crash!¡± Twenty balls were launched, and a series of explosions occurred. The figure didn¡¯t seem to expect this ¨C after all, it was a Restricted Area. They leapt to avoid the explosion, and tried to jump to another roof. ¡°Dark Cage!¡± Wei Feng cast a spell, and dark energy condensed around the figure, forming a cage. ¡°Clang!¡± The cage fell to the ground with a loud clang. Wei Feng descended ¨C the cage had the defence of him and Lilith¡¯s attributes ¨C it was impossible to break the cage. ¡°You are¡­ a demon!¡± A shrill scream came from the cage. It was a woman. Wei Feng widened his eyes. She was dressed in black, and her identity was covered with a black scarf. She looked like a thief. Glancing at the black suitcase, Wei Feng cast another Dark Cage around the suit case. ¡°You¡­!¡± The woman was shocked ¨C she could pass her hand through the tiny cage, but she couldn¡¯t yank the suitcase out of it. Wei Feng clasped his hand to shrink the tiny cage ¨C if she didn¡¯t let go, her arm would be sliced off. She immediately let go of the suitcase. He conjured the suitcase over to himself. Wei Feng was about to leave, but Lilith warned in his brain, ¡°Master, watch out!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± A three-meter long, half-foot-wide, crescent sword pierced through Wei Feng and slashed through him. ¡°Ugh!¡± Wei Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. The sword flew straight past him, and shattered his surroundings like glass. ¡°Crash!¡± The sword continued slashing in the air, destroying everything in its path. Two kilometres away in the air, Wei Feng looked horrified. What kind of power is this? It is too strong! ¡°So, a demon dares to snatch our belongings. Should I laugh or should I cry? Haha!¡± Above him, a voice full of contempt, yet full of majesty sounded. Wei Feng looked up, seeing an old man in white descending upon him. He didn¡¯t have any wings, nor did he have any tools to assist him in flight ¨C but it was as if he didn¡¯t play by gravity¡¯s rules. ¡°Oh? Are you a half-breed? I can sense that you are both a demon and a human!¡± The old man said in surprise. Wei Feng wanted to fight, but a sharp pain resonated within his abdomen, and he was forced to rest on the ground. ¡°Hmph!¡± The old man snorted, ¡°You are lucky to survive my sword, and yet, you want to resist against me. Do you really think that my Sky Sword is a joke to you?¡± ¡°Buzz!¡± The old man spoke, his eyes widening in anger. He brought his hands together, and conjured another sword from thin air. Wei Feng widened his eyes; death was inevitable. Lilith shouted in his mind, ¡°Master! Separate from me! I will keep him busy, and you will escape!¡± Wei Feng: !!! ¡°Master, although we have been together for a short while, I can feel your love and passion.¡± ¡°I feel happy for once,¡± ¡°Lilith Antesya was always yours from the moment the contract was sealed.¡± CH 72 Chapter 72: Ascended Black light erupted from Wei Feng¡¯s body ¨C Lilith was forcing her way out of Wei Feng¡¯s body. An old and familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing Lilith to stop in mid-air. ¡°Bullying the weak ¨C the human race has always been like this!¡± The old monkey appeared in front of Wei Feng. The old monkey raised his wooden stick and with a single swipe, conjured a sword, forcing the old man to retreat. ¡°White Ape!¡± The old man sounded extremely surprised, ¡°Such impudence! Don¡¯t tell me you prefer to be in the company of demons within the Restricted Area!¡± ¡°Chang Qing, this man is not a demon. Do not get it twisted,¡± the old monkey glanced at Wei Feng, and frowned. Wei Feng was speechless. How strong was this old monkey? He was this strong, and yet, he knelt down to Wei Feng! Wei Feng felt ashamed ¨C there¡¯s always a greater mountain. But what are their levels? Why are they so strong? Wei Feng used [Abyss Peek] to probe the old man¡¯s information. [Exploration Panel] Target: Human Level: ??? Strength: ? Agility: ? Spirit Power: ? ??? ¡­ Other than knowing he¡¯s a human, everything else is unknown! ¡°Chang Qing, you cannot take this item,¡± the old monkey spoke. ¡°Hmph!¡± Chang Qing snorted, ¡°Fine! Take it! Use it outside the Restricted Area or it¡¯s useless!¡± He continued to threaten Wei Feng, ¡°Demon, you¡¯d better take refuge in the Restricted Area of the Fog ¨C if I see you again, I¡¯ll kill you for real this time.¡± ¡°Buzz!¡± The area shook violently, and the Dark Cage that was keeping the woman hostage collapsed instantly. Chang Qing then took the woman away. Wei Feng sighed in relief. He looked at the old monkey, and handed the suitcase over to the old monkey. The old monkey shook his head, ¡°Your Majesty! You found this item, so it is yours!¡± ¡°Mine?¡± Wei Feng was surprised. The item that Chang Qing sought after, who was as strong as the old monkey¡­ didn¡¯t he want it? ¡°Also, why do you refer to me as Majesty?¡± Wei Feng asked. It was crazy that someone as strong as the monkey was calling him Majesty! The old monkey answered, ¡°You have created your own Restricted Area, so you will soon become Majesty anyways ¨C besides, I call other Restricted Area owners by this title!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wei Feng sighed in relief, then asked again, ¡°One last question, why are you and the old man so strong? Your powers are of another world!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± The old monkey grinned, ¡°I though you weren¡¯t interested in this!¡± The old monkey sat on a stone and said, ¡°An inscription is engraved on the legendary Abyss Stone Tablet found in the Eternal Restricted Area ¨C there are those greater than normal levels, and they are called the Ascended.¡± ¡°The Ascended!¡± Wei Feng exclaimed. This was the first time he had heard such a name. He knew there were higher levels than Level 10, but he didn¡¯t know anything about them. Wei Feng feels that he had come into contact the true nature of this world. ¡°Under the Ascended, all are ants!¡± The old monkey spoke. ¡°Of course, Your Majesty is one of the stronger ants. You won¡¯t be pinched and killed easily.¡± It is true. Today, Wei Feng almost died. Even if he had the Dragon Ape and Ying with him, his death was inevitable. He owes the old monkey his life! Half an hour later. Wei Feng recovered slightly, and learnt a lot of information from the old monkey. The world is not what it seems on the surface ¨C beneath the iceberg, a terrifying darkness looms. Only the Ascended can be qualified to come into contact with this darkness. The old monkey told Wei Feng the specifications to become an Ascended. Half a million attribute points! Of the three basic attributes, if one reaches a value of more than 500000, one can be Ascended. ¡°Return to your base! The girl in your body is sacrificing herself to heal you! Make good use of the item in the suitcase, it isn¡¯t easy to come by,¡± the old monkey spoke, and got up. Wei Feng looked at the wound that has already recovered. He spread out his wings, and soared into the air. Before leaving, the old monkey cryptically revealed a secret, ¡±Using a city to build a magic weapon ¨C human beings truly are more terrifying than beasts.¡± Wei Feng: ! ¡­ Half an hour later, Wei Feng returned to his base. As soon as he landed, he separated with Lilith. ¡°Buzz!¡± Lilith flopped out of Wei Feng¡¯s body. And Wei Feng returned to his normal size. ¡°Master!¡± As soon as Lilith got out, her body fell out uncontrollably. Wei Feng kept her in his embrace, looking distressed. ¡°Master, what happened?¡± Ying couldn¡¯t help asking. His other beasts were worried too. ¡°I encountered an Ascended today,¡± he said while carrying Lilith into a fully built wooden house. ¡°Keep guard.¡± There was surprise and confusion plastered on the beasts¡¯ faces. They didn¡¯t know what an Ascended was. ¡­ In the wooden house. Wei Feng carried Lilith to a bamboo chair and laid her down. He then opened the suitcase. Wisps of black mist drifted out. Inside the suitcase was a pitch-black ball, beginning to levitate. The ball hovered to the centre of the room. Wei Feng used [Abyss Peek] once again. [Exploration Panel] Target: Source of Magic Grade: ? Function: Reshape one¡¯s body. Restrictions: Requires a target with mana to activate. Sacrifice: Two Forbidden Items A-Tier or above. Description: The source of magic requires the destruction of life. With destruction comes the source of magic. ¡­ He couldn¡¯t detect the grade of the Forbidden Item, but there were specifications. He finally understood the old monkey¡¯s cryptic sentence. ¡°Using a city to build a magic weapon ¨C human beings are truly more terrifying than beasts!¡± Wei Feng frowned ¨C after seeing the old man¡¯s strength, he fully believed that the Federation had the tools to protect Yangtze. CH 73 Chapter 73: Sharing the Source of Magic Although Wei Feng possesses a few forbidden items, none of them are A-Tier. He has two S-Tier items, but [Crown of the Red Maple] was bound to his Restricted Area, while [Absolute Zero] was too precious. ¡°Master, the conditions are too harsh! Forget it! I¡¯m fine! I¡¯ll just rest for a while,¡± Lilith said with a smile. Wei Feng stretched out his hand and took Lilith¡¯s slender palm in his, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I said I was going to protect you ¨C not only did I fail, but you sacrificed yourself to heal me.¡± ¡°Master!¡± She was moved. ¡°Give me a moment, I think I can come up with a way to get forbidden items,¡± he then got up and walked out of the room. Under the Tree, Wei Feng sat cross-legged on the big stone. He entered his brain, and used Spirit World to break the 8th fog barrier in his brain. ¡°Boom!¡± Like thunder, the 8th layer of fog was broken into. Ding! [NOTICE: You have broken the 8th layer of fog and obtained increased Spirit Power.] [NOTICE: You have obtained B-Tier Forbidden Item [Wind Watch].] ¡­ This made Wei Feng frown. A forbidden item was born, but it was only B-Tier. ¡°Buzz!¡± [Ruined Symbols] floated up, absorbing the grey mist. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng used [Spirit World] again to slam into the 9th layer of fog. Under the bombardment of Spirit World and Ruined Symbols, the 9th layer of fog was broken too. The cacophony in his brain made him feel dizzy. Ding! [NOTICE: You have broken into the 9th layer of fog and have increased Spirit Power.] [NOTICE: [Ruined Symbol] has been activated.] ¡­ No forbidden items were born, but [Ruined Symbol] was activated again. He used [Ruined Symbols] to break into the 10th layer of fog. Using these items was easy and convenient, since it didn¡¯t take a toll on his body. Ten seconds later, the fog corroded away. [NOTICE: You have broken into the 10th layer of fog and have increased Spirit Power.] [NOTICE: You have obtained S-Tier Forbidden Item [Source of Exhaustion].] [NOTICE: [Spirit World] has upgraded to C-Tier.] [NOTICE: [Ruined Symbols] has upgraded to A-Tier.] ¡­ Wei Feng was overjoyed. Not only did he obtain an S-Tier Forbidden Item, his Ruined Symbols reached A-Tier! This way, he has sufficient forbidden items. He leapt off the big rock, and rushed back into the house. ¡°Master¡­ what¡­?¡± Lilith looked at him in disbelief. ¡°Well, I have enough forbidden items now,¡± Wei Feng looked at the pitch-black Source of Magic floating around the room. ¡°Lilith, it¡¯s all up to you now.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lilith nodded, but blushed, ¡°Master, there is actually a way for us to accept this ¡°reshaping¡± together ¨C the effect will be way stronger.¡± ¡°So, both of us can benefit from it?¡± Wei Feng looked at Lilith in surprise, ¡°You mean, we can combine with each other and perform the ritual?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do it then!¡± Lilith merely nodded, but her face turned beet red, ¡°I meant¡­ a different type of fusion.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Wei Feng looked at Lilith shying away from him and understood what she meant; his breathing became ragged and erratic. ¡°Are you sure about this?¡± Wei Feng asked, licking his lips. ¡°Yes.¡± Lilith lowered her head; her voice meek. ¡°Let¡¯s do it now, then,¡± Wei Feng said, awkwardly. ¡°Alright.¡± Without raising her head, she fell into his embrace. ¡­ Two hours later. Ding! [NOTICE: [Source of Magic] has been activated.] [NOTICE: [Source of Exhaustion] and [Absolute Zero] has been sacrificed.] ¡­ In the end, Wei Feng chose to sacrifice [Absolute Zero]. Four hours later. The house was pitch black. The space inside the house seemed completely different from the outside; nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard. Eight hours later. The whole night passed. Ying used [Demon¡¯s Call] to summon ten more demons. They were all guarding outside the house. Ten miles to the east on a hill, mist shrouded a clearing. Within the mist, a tall figure stood on top of the clearing, looking towards the Restricted Area. An old monkey was standing beside this tall figure. ¡°Master, it seems that the Red Maple King has used the Source of Magic to the fullest,¡± the old monkey reported. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s return home.¡± ¡­ Sixteen hours later. There was still silence in the Red Maple Restricted Area. Dragon Ape and Ying guarded outside the house, feeling a little worried; their eyes swept across the house from time to time. Twenty-four hours later. In the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the bright moon. Moonlight poured like water; the wind causing the branches and leaves of the Tree to sway. Every leaf was bathed in moonlight, illuminating the surrounding haze. ¡°Buzz!¡± The house trembled, and black light rippled from the house. Like a stone skipping through a lake, the black light spread out. ¡°Boom!¡± Dark clouds returned; lightning pierced the sky. The clouds didn¡¯t hide the moon, however. The moon shone brightly, emitting a spotlight. A beam of light fell from the sky, surrounded by lightning. On the hill, the old monkey and his owner stared at the scene in surprise. ¡°Master, this can¡¯t be¡­!¡± The old monkey muttered. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The eyes of his handler shone brightly, ¡°Looks like this man is full of surprises! This is like a legendary artifact comparable to the Abyss Stone Tablet in the Eternal Restricted Area!¡± CH 74 Chapter 74: A Secret Breakthrough The moonlight condensed into a single beam of light, surrounded by lightning and illuminating the sky and ground. The wooden houses next to Red Maple had been reduced to ashes. A large dark ball appeared under the Tree. That¡¯s what the ball looked like inside the house. The ball hovered towards the spotlight, gradually becoming transparent. Ding! [NOTICE: [Secret of the Bright Moon] and [Voice of Thunder] have combined to become [Secret of Thunder and Moonlight].] [NOTICE: All attributes have now exceeded 500,000. You are Ascended.] [NOTICE: The Power of Control has upgraded to the Ascended level.] [NOTICE: You gained mana.] [NOTICE: You can now use [Dark Codex].] [NOTICE: You have obtained the SSS-Tier Forbidden Item [Silence of the Night].] [NOTICE: If the conditions are met, your System will upgrade after ten minutes.] ¡­ A series of prompts startled Wei Feng awake. When he opened his eyes, his eyesight was pitch black ¨C it gradually shrunk into a set of black armour that equipped itself onto him and Lilith. ¡°This is the Silence of the Night!¡± Wei Feng exclaimed when examining the armor. ¡°Master! It seems like I obtained a Forbidden Item called Etiquette of the Night!¡± Lilith said in surprise. The black light dissipated, and in front of them were demons and his beasts surrounding them. ¡°How long has it been?¡± Wei Feng asked. Ying stepped forward, ¡°Master! It has been a day! Did you succeed?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± He nodded. ¡°Lilith and I have become Ascended.¡± ¡°Ascended?!¡± A few beasts exclaimed. Wei Feng took a peek into his attribute panel.

Royal Beasts: Level 6 Ice Giant Level 3 Spirit Hog Level 10 Thunder Bird Level 10 Silver Moon Wolf King Level 10 Dragon Ape Level 10 Dark Dragon¡¯s Shadow ¡­ It seems like he has gone through drastic changes. Some core abilities have been deactivated. Wei Feng assumes that it is because he has Ascended ¨C the core abilities of his Dragon Ape and Ying won¡¯t take effect unless they have Ascended as well. After being Ascended, Wei Feng has learnt a lot of secrets. It seems like Ascended Beast Masters are connected to something! That artifact called the ¡°Abyss Stone Tablet¡± which has many inscriptions ¨C some of these inscriptions describe the Ascended, and this Stone Tablet can be telepathically connected to all Ascended Beast Masters. It¡¯s amazing! Wei Feng felt incredible. It was like he was connected to some sort of network ¨C the information on the Abyss Stone Tablet could not only be seen by him, but also by other Ascended. In addition to some information on the Ascended, there are other information recorded. First, the powers of the world. There are three major forces in this world: the Federation, the Restricted Areas, and the Abyss. The Federation and the Restricted Areas dominate the world, while the Abyss is sealed in endless darkness. In addition to these major forces, there are some independent factions within the Federations and Restricted Areas recorded on it. The most representative of them are the Church of Light and the Sanctuary of Darkness. These two factions have been opposing each other for generations, and one belongs to the Federation while the other belongs to the Restricted Area. And Ascended Beasts as well. It is recorded on the Abyss Stone Tablet that there are countless Ascended Beasts waiting to be summoned so they can come into this world. However, the ten-point star used to summon them have been lost forever! In other words, nobody can summon a real Ascended Beast. The old monkey and other Ascended Beasts were all born and raised in this world ¨C they became Ascended with their own efforts. Finally, tabooists. The only reason why humans are the dominant race is because of tabooists. Since the loss of the ten-point star, the human race found another way to improve themselves. If you want to become Ascended, and if you want to continue to train after becoming an Ascended, only tabooists are allowed to do so. Tabooists can absorb the power of their own beasts and other rare beasts. But there are drastic side effects ¨C absorbing the power overloads the tabooist, and they are prone to serious mental illness. This is caused from absorbing too much energy from the beast. Therefore, even if the Federation has medicine, tabooists still aren¡¯t able to absorb energy without limit. ¡­ Wei Feng came back to his senses. A prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: Your system is starting its upgrade. Duration: 3 Days.] ¡­ His system has started to upgrade! Wei Feng had doubts about his system. He felt that his system was useless other than notifying him via prompts. His core abilities and attributes come from the Power of Control, and he has Forbidden Items. Dragon Ape, Ying, and Wolf King were all summoned with his own ability. And Lilith, as well as the mana resource bar¡­ What exactly is that system? CH 75 Chapter 75: Restricted Area Changes Wei Feng and Ying simultaneously activated [Demon¡¯s Call] and two portals lit up at the same time. ¡°Roar!¡± A low roar sounded from Wei Feng¡¯s portal, and a demonic creature with dark red skin and three horns with a body of a triceratops, ran out of the portal. Wei Feng probed its information. [Exploration Panel] Target: Horns of Evil Level: Level 8 (Intermediate) Attribute: Dark Mana: 500/500 Strength: 6705 Agility: 6375 Spirit Power: 6120 Core Abilities: [Dark Energy ¨C Pierce] ¨C Launch a Dark Magic spell, forming three dark energy spikes, causing piercing damage equal to strength value. [Evil Roar] ¨C Let out a terrifying cry, reducing all attributes of enemy creatures within 500 yards by 10%. (Ineffective against beasts that are higher levelled than itself.) ¡­ More demons that can use mana! Very good. Wei Feng peered into the portal, and another Horn of Evil ran out. Now that he was Ascended, [Demon¡¯s Call] can summon minimum 10 beasts, which means he could summon at least ten Horn of Evils this time. On the other hand, Ying summoned a big demon creature. At this time, Ying was still powerful on his own, and twenty great demons were summoned. Now, there are 49 great demons. And there are 32 Horns of Evil. Looking at the Horns of Evil still running out, Wei Feng fears that he had summoned a whole nest of people. ¡°42, 43, 44¡­¡± Lilith was counting beside Wei Feng. When Lilith counted to 43, the grey fog in the sky suddenly spread out. A prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: Your Restricted Area can be expanded. Distance of expansion is 5000 yards.] [NOTICE: Your Restricted Area shared information chain has been connected.] ¡­ Looks like his prompt sounds still work. ¡°Buzz!¡± The summoning portal finally closed after fifty Horns of Evil ran out. Fifty Horns of Evil! Wei Feng glanced at Ying ¨C he was proud that he had summoned more demons compared to the last three days. ¡°Brother Wei Feng, congratulations!¡± A voice sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s mind and startled him. ¡°Huh?¡± Wei Feng checked his brain and found that it came from his [Restricted Area] panel. His [Restricted Area] panel has completely changed. [Restricted Area] Name: Red Maple Restricted Area Owner: Wei Feng Grade: D Flags: None Range: 10,000 Yards Forbidden Item: [Crown of the Red Maple] Forbidden Energy: 462 (The Forbidden Energy stored in Level 1 to Level 3 creatures is 1, Level 4 to 6 is 2, and Level 7 to 9 is 3. For every Level 10 beast that possesses an attribute value of 50,000, a little forbidden energy is added to the counter.) Connected to the Shared Information Chain ¨C Eternal Restricted Area Restricted Area Ranking: Rank 1 ¨C Eternal Restricted Area, Ascended Level Rank 2 ¨C Restricted Mountain, Grade SSS Rank 3 ¨C Black Tide, Grade SSS Rank 4 ¨C Lost Forest, Grade SSS Rank 5 ¨C Twilight, Grade SSS ¡­ Tasks: Mandatory Task: [Guardian] ¨C The birth of each Restricted Area must be baptized by blood and songs. Requirements: Defend your Restricted Area from ten other Restricted Areas. Countdown: 71 hours, 58 minutes, 3 seconds. Description: Each time you slay an enemy beast, you obtain their Forbidden Energy, adding to the counter. However, if the enemy beast slays your ally beast, they will gain some forbidden energy, but your total forbidden energy will not be deducted. If your bound Forbidden Item is destroyed, then your Restricted Area will dispel. Communication Tab: Currently connected to the Restricted Area of the Fog. Number of Rules that can be set: 2 ¡­ Wei Feng looked at his [Restricted Area] panel, feeling dumbfounded. This was too much! A voice sounded from his Communication Tab again, ¡°Brother, we will be neighbours in the future! Come often, and let¡¯s have a chat when you¡¯re free.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wei Feng was surprised. If one can use the Communications Tab, then this person or beast must be the owner of the Restricted Area of the Fog. ¡°Thank you. I was planning to visit soon ¨C if it¡¯s convenient for you, I¡¯ll be there now,¡± Wei Feng said, using the Communications function. ¡°Come on over!¡± ¡­ In the middle of the night, Wei Feng took Lilith to visit this mysterious person. This time, Wei Feng has finally seen the centre of the Restricted Area of the Fog. The scenery before him was stunning; a magnificent palace stands tall in front of him. Within the palace, Wei Feng met the owner of the Restricted Area. Like Wei Feng, the owner was a human, and he looked forty or fifty. Of course, this was based of his physical appearance ¨C his actual age is probably much older. Under the warm welcome of the owner, Wei Feng experienced the treatment that an Ascended should be treated as. A magnificent palace to lounge around, wine that seems to glow, all kinds of fruit, delicious fruit served on delicate, silver plates¡­ This is the life that an owner of a Restricted Area should have. To be honest, Wei Feng admired it. Through the shared information chain, Wei Feng learnt that the owner¡¯s name was Li Tong, who is 322 years old. The Restricted Area has existed for 271 years, and its expansion range has reached 316 kilometres. The restricted area was only of Grade A, however. Later, Wei Feng asked Li Tong on his given task ¨C [Guardian]. Li Tong told him this was a rule set by the Eternal Restricted Area, which was strictly enforced before, but now, it is but a formality. After three days, more than a dozen beasts may attack, and it is also possible for them to just transit through the restricted area. But he advised it was best to prepare. After all, you can¡¯t predict accidents. Li Tong also reminded Wei Feng a key issue. Forbidden energy! This energy has many functions, like strengthening your beasts, generate forbidden items, and even be used to build houses or other structures, and shape the terrain. Wei Feng only knew about the surface of forbidden energy ¨C after Li Tong gave a small reminder, he realised the potential of forbidden energy! ¡­ At dawn, Wei Feng and Lilith left. After seeing Li Tong¡¯s restricted area, he couldn¡¯t wait to change his own. Today, his Red Maple Restricted Area has a range of 10000 yards ¨C the surrounding area, using Red Maple as the centre, is about 10 miles. Not that big, but not that small either. However, Wei Feng thought it was best to stay on guard for a while. He can wait to upgrade his Restricted Area. He wanted to prepare for the attack three days later. CH 76 Chapter 76: [Guardian] Begins! After all, they were Ascended creatures. Wei Feng wasn¡¯t that worried about [Guardian]. Li Tong also stated that some beasts may just pass through, wishing no harm. After all, since Red Maple and Fog are allies, Li Tong could be his emergency backup. However, it isn¡¯t smart to blindly rely on others. So, he wanted to prepare himself to some extent. Ding! [NOTICE: You have bound your B-Tier [Wind Watch] as a secondary forbidden item.] ¡­ Wei Feng bound [Wind Watch] to the Restricted Area. At the boundary of the Restricted Area, storms started to form, surrounding Red Maple. The scene looked magnificent. The storm can now act like a natural shield ¨C 15 metres high, protecting the border of Red Maple. ¡°Master, this storm is beautiful!¡± Lilith couldn¡¯t help but sigh as she watched the storm. After becoming an Ascended, Lilith¡¯s body underwent some physical changes ¨C she looked even more perfect and attractive. And with her armour [Etiquette of the Night], her figure was out of this world. Wei Feng has also gone through physical changes. He was handsome as ever, his stature tall and straight ¨C [Silence of the Night] framed his body with an aura of quietness, adding to his sense of mystery. With them standing together side-by-side, they were made for each other. ¡°Awoo!¡± ¡°Woo!¡± Dragon Ape let out a cheerful shout ¨C it was glad looking at the storm forming at the borders. Now, Wei Feng planned to upgrade his Wolf King. Within Level 10, there are 10 sublevels as well. The 1st sublevel requires attributes of value 50,000, the 2nd 100,000, the 3rd 150,000. This goes all the way until the 10th sublevel, which is exactly 500,000, at which the beast can become Ascended Beasts. This way, he can track the progress. The natural characteristics of the Wolf King made it easy to upgrade the Wolf King, so he wanted to upgrade his Wolf King to the Ascended level first. Wei Feng did a little test as well ¨C to raise the Wolf King a single sublevel, he needs to consume ten points of forbidden energy, so a hundred points of forbidden energy should be sufficient. Two hours later. Under the Tree, the Wolf King was shrouded in misty moonlight ¨C even if the sunlight was shining, the moonlight was clearly visible. Ding! [NOTICE: The Wolf King has upgraded to the Ascended level.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Lovesick Moonlight Slash] derived from the Wolf King.] [NOTICE: You gain attribute bonuses from the Wolf King. Strength +32 Ascended Power, Agility +41 Ascended Power, Spirit Power +28 Ascended Power.] ¡­ Sure enough, Power of Control can be applied. At the same time, Wei Feng obtained a new ability called [Lovesick Moonlight Slash]. Gather moonlight and launch a slash that destroys everything in its path! Wei Feng wondered what ¡°lovesick¡± referred to. With the attributes he gained from the Wolf King, his agility and spirit power directly broke through 100. Wei Feng felt powerful. His other beasts looked on with envy. Wei Feng used [Wind Watch] to upgrade some of his beasts as well, increasing their total attributes by 50,000. The Ice Giant has finally reached Level 9. Evening. Wei Feng and Ying continued to summon. This time, Ying summoned a monster. [Exploration Panel] Target: Evil Guardian Level: Level 8 Attribute: Dark Mana: 800/800 Strength: 7100 Agility: 6800 Spirit Power: 6400 Core Abilities: [Giant Slash] ¨C The Guardian imbues magical energy into his weapon and launches a slash, causing double damage. [Dark Fire] ¨C The Guardian buffs himself or his allies, which increases all attributes by 80%, or he can use this on enemies to burn them continuously. ¡­ Wei Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. The Evil Guardian was strong! When demons are summoned, they usually don¡¯t carry their own weapons. The Evil Guardian came with a long-handled war blade ¨C its handle was one metre long and the blade was three metres long. Wei Feng realised that his army wasn¡¯t well equipped. This needs to be resolved. He had a pile of metal lying around, and the Cruise Flagship that was dragged back by Ying and Thunder Bird, but no one here can build anything. Ying also summoned ten Evil Guardians, and Wei Feng summoned ten Horns of Evil. ¡­ Countdown: 49 hours, 36 minutes, 15 seconds. 2 days left. Wei Feng asked Ying to take the Evil Guardians to chop some trees, then planned defensive measures by the storm. Wei Feng trained with Lilith and the Wolf King to familiarize himself with his newfound power. And just like that. Three days pass in a blink of an eye. Countdown: 1 second. Red Maple was well guarded. Great Demons, Evil Guardians, Horns of Evil, Dragon Ape, Ying¡­ Wei Feng stood on the canopy of Red Maple, having a birds-eye view on the area. Everything was quiet. He predicted that if there was an attack, it can only be from the west and north. Five minutes passed, and there was nothing. There weren¡¯t any beasts outside the storm either. Lilith muttered, ¡°I guess other Restricted Areas won¡¯t be sending their beasts over ¨C we are competing anyways, so they don¡¯t want us to earn any forbidden energy.¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± As soon as Lilith finished, a crimson flame arrow was flying towards them. ¡°Clang!¡± Wei Feng raised his hand and blocked the arrow. Wei Feng frowned. Was this the Ascended old man from the other day? Wei Feng looked into the forest in the south, and countless arrows started to fall into Red Maple. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon Ape roared, and leapt into the forest. ¡°Caw!¡± Thunder Bird flapped his wings, and used [Field of Electricity] to shield Red Maple from the rain of arrows. Ying used [Field of Agility] to slow the advance of the arrows greatly, and they flopped to the ground. The arrows were nothing. ¡°Boom!¡± In the forest, explosions occurred, and the Dragon Ape began to massacre. The Wolf King followed the Dragon Ape ¨C he concluded that the person who shot the arrow at Wei Feng must be an Ascended. ¡°Boom!¡± A tremor could be felt from the ground from the west. Smoke and dust rose, and a silver-white calvary team rushed forwards. The calvary were all donning silver and white armaments. Wei Feng saw an old man in white hovering above the army. His predictions were right. ¡°Chang Qing!¡± CH 77 Chapter 77: Palace Wei Feng believes that if he is bested in battle, he must fight back! ¡°Chang Qing!¡± The moment he saw the old man, Wei Feng furrowed his eyebrows. He didn¡¯t seem as strong anymore. The last time, the old man used swords to pierce through Wei Feng, so Wei Feng will use swords to pierce through him. He ordered Lilith to defend Red Maple, and Wei Feng rushed forward. The bloodlust in him was strong. After becoming an Ascended, he wants to test his own strength by besting other Ascended opponents! ¡°Moonlight Slash!¡± With a low shout, Wei Feng conjured a five-metre-long crescent moon and swung it at the old man. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng leapt up again, and clenched his right fist, carrying a burst of electricity and slammed forward. Clang! Chang Qing dodged backwards, and his own sword was sliced in half by Wei Feng¡¯s crescent. He didn¡¯t expect Wei Feng¡¯s determination. A ball of electricity flew towards him, and Chang Qing used his hand to block. ¡°Bzz!!¡± The electricity bombarded Chang Qing¡¯s arm. With this single punch, Wei Feng focused all his strength. Chang Qing flinched backwards, and Wei Feng immediately followed up. In terms of combat experience, Wei Feng definitely fell short, so he wouldn¡¯t want to let up an opening! He doesn¡¯t need any fighting experience; he just needs his strength! ¡°My boy, who are you?¡± Chang Qing shouted. ¡°I¡¯m here to trouble a demon, not you!¡± Wei Feng remained silent and continued to fight. He was much faster than Chang Qing now. ¡°Ow!¡± With a punch, Chang Qing wailed out in pain, ¡°Boy, don¡¯t you know how to respect your elders?! If you continue this behaviour, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± ¡°I respect you alright!¡± Wei Feng roared, and smashed his fist into his face. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll fight with you!¡± Chang Qing was stunned. He has never seen an Ascended fight like this before. ¡°Ouch!¡± Chang Qing wailed in pain. His neck was locked into a death grip by Wei Feng¡¯s legs, and he couldn¡¯t reach Wei Feng ¨C in addition, Wei Feng wore an SSS-Tier Forbidden Item Armour. Chang Qing couldn¡¯t even make Wei Feng flinch. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng continuously punched with the intent of killing him. He was merely returning the favour. After seventy or eighty punches, Chang Qing stopped wailing. Wei Feng released his grip, and his body fell to the ground with a ¡°pop!¡± Ding! [NOTICE: You have killed a Level 1 Ascended, forbidden energy +1000.] ¡­ A strong Ascended was killed by Wei Feng. No one will believe him. But Chang Qing was dead by his feet. The old monkey and Li Tong stared at the scene from the mountain, speechless. The old monkey shrunk his neck, ¡°It seems that I have to be more respectful the next time I meet his Lordship Wei Feng.¡± He killed him using his fists! Li Tong shook his head and smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s return home. They are giving him free forbidden energy anyways.¡± ¡­ Prompts sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: Killed a Level 6 beast, forbidden energy +2] ¡­ Ding! [NOTICE: Killed a Level 10 tabooist, forbidden energy +5] ¡­ His forbidden energy continually increased ¨C in a short time, it was almost three thousand. Twenty Evil Guardians simultaneously slashed, combined with the Piercing attack from the Horns of Evil, they wiped out the calvary with a single swipe. Ying, Dragon Ape, and the Wolf King soon returned from the forest. Ding! [NOTICE: Killed a Level 1 Ascended, forbidden energy +1000] ¡­ Seems like the Ascended who shot the arrow died as well. Wei Feng counted that he had only lost three Great Demons. His other beasts weren¡¯t even injured. After an hour. Ding! [NOTICE: You have completed [Guardian]. Rewards: Banner +1, Forbidden Energy +5000] ¡­ The grey fog condensed and summpned a huge stone tablet. The tablet was square and standing upright, like a tower. It was 50 metres high. Ding! [NOTICE: Please set a flag pattern and inscription.] ¡­ Wei Feng found that he could make patterns and words on the tablet by simply thinking of it. He sensed there was hidden energy within the tablet, since he could just conjure words and patterns by just thinking. Therefore, Wei Feng put the appearance of the Red Maple Tree, with the text [Red Maple Restricted Area]. Ding! [NOTICE: You have set the pattern. It will now generate a random ability.] [NOTICE: Your flag has generated the ability [Derivation].] [Derivation] ¨C Using forbidden energy, an item can be procured. The strengths and abilities of the item are directly proportional to the amount of forbidden energy. ¡­ This ability is crazy! Wei Feng glanced at his current forbidden energy count. Forbidden Energy: 5113 He uses 5000 points of forbidden energy to obtain an item, what would he get? He was eager to try. A prompt suddenly sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: Your system upgrade is complete.] [NOTICE: You have obtained a Royal Beast Store.] [NOTICE: Forbidden energy has been bound.] [NOTICE: Open your task panel for additional information.] ¡­ His system has been upgraded. Wei Feng was surprised because a palace appeared in his brain. He also saw a dazzling array of items. Rows and rows of precious treasures. Royal beast eggs with colourful surfaces. A golden sword that exudes light. Potions, beast rations, weapons, summons, everything! ¡°Hey, boy over there! Has your Spirit Power turned into a physical entity?¡± A voice sounded from his left. Only then did Wei Feng discovered that by the entrance of the palace, a grey-furred mouse was sitting by the counter wearing a white T-shirt, cropped pants, and white sneakers. Its right arm was resting on a grey stone. ¡°Are you¡­ the owner?¡± Wei Feng thought for a while, and could only use the word ¡°owner¡± to describe the other party. The mouse jumped off the counter and circled around Wei Feng¡¯s spirit power, ¡°Seems like your spirit power hasn¡¯t transformed yet. Looks like I was too early!¡± Wei Feng noticed that his Spirit Power was a square blob! His Spirit Power was still being nurtured by [Spirit World], but it still hasn¡¯t been completed. Wei Feng wanted to ask what would happen if his spirit power manifested physically, but the mouse waved him off, ¡°Leave for now! Even if you have forbidden coins, you can¡¯t afford what I have. Come back when your spirit power manifested!¡± The grey mouse jumped over the counter, crossed its legs, and started to take a nap. Wei Feng was a little speechless. If he wanted to purchase some things, he still needs his spirit power to transform. However, he didn¡¯t know how to. Looking at the array of items, Wei Feng asked, ¡°Then, can I take a look?¡± ¡°Go ahead! The more you look, the more you want to buy it!¡± The mouse waved. Wei Feng examined the items carefully. Level 1 Ascended Beast Egg [Manticore] ¨C 2000 forbidden coins. Level 2 Ascended Beast Egg [Wind Thunder Demon] ¨C 4000 forbidden coins. ¡­ Level 1 Ascended Beast Armaments [Magical Shadow Sword] ¨C 1000 forbidden coins. Level 2 Ascended Beast Armaments [Skysplitter] ¨C 3000 forbidden coins. ¡­ Ten-Point Star Formation [Beginner: 10689 Summoning Runes] ¨C 5000 forbidden coins. Ten-Point Star Formation [Intermediate: 53233 Summoning Runes] ¨C 10000 forbidden coins. ¡­ Wei Feng: !!! CH 78 Chapter 78: Task Menu This palace sells a ten-point star! What is going on? What does this mean? He couldn¡¯t imagine it. If the Federation knew that he could simply purchase a ten-point star formation, then they might send their strongest soldiers instantly. ¡­ He withdrew from the palace in his brain. He couldn¡¯t hold back his excitement. A ten-point star¡­ A ten-point star¡­ It¡¯s the summoning formation that the world lost forever! ¡°Master, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lilith asked. She was worried looking at Wei Feng shaking. Wei Feng was too excited. Lilith can¡¯t access Wei Feng¡¯s brain space, so Wei Feng had to explain it slowly to her. Wei Feng realised something. His Great Demons, Evil Guardians, and Horn of Evils were devouring the corpses of those who came to attack them. Even the Dragon Ape was swallowing the corpses. Wei Feng realised that he had forgotten to feed them. Red Maple is facing a huge problem. Food shortages! All of his demons were hungry. The river beside them was almost empty of fish. And it has only been a few days. It seems that establishing secure resources is the first step in leading your own Restricted Area. The current state of Red Maple is too barren. Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to waste the corpses, so he let the Ice Giant to conjure ice cubes to store and preserve the corpses. Wei Feng felt this was necessary. At least the demons will be sated for a while. Evening came. Matters will be dealt with. Wei Feng and Lilith sat together on the big rock, discussing how to lead their Restricted Area. Lilith listened intently. Wei Feng has a lot of experience, but still does not understand some things. So, he needs a second opinion. Later at night, Lilith laid beside Wei Feng. They were silent. Wei Feng checked his updated tasks in the task menu. His next mission was to build and transform his Restricted Area so his residents can survive and live. Yes! He checked through his task menu carefully. [Task Menu] Mission 1: [Abyss Recovery] ¨C Within the endless darkness of the abyss, the seal of the abyss comes loose. Requirements: Summon 10,000 demonic creatures. Rewards: The title of ¡°Lord of the Abyss¡±, forbidden energy +100,000. Mission 2: [Return of the Ascended Beasts] ¨C Procure a ten-point star formation and summon an Ascended beast. Requirements: Have 10,000 people summon Ascended Beasts. Rewards: Level 7 Ascended Beast Egg, Forbidden Energy +50,000. Mission 3: [Competition of Restricted Areas] ¨C Hosted by the Eternal Restricted Area. Requirements: Participate and obtain top ten in the leaderboard. Rewards: Two SSS-Tier Forbidden Items, forbidden energy +100,000. ¡­ Early in the morning. Wei Feng went to the Fog Restricted Area. He planned to move, so he came over to say goodbye to Li Tong. It takes 100 points of forbidden energy to move and take back his Crown of the Red Maple, and place it in another place. ¡­ South of Yancheng. A mountain range. There was an extremely brilliant Restricted Area ¨C [Freedom]. These mountains are thereby known as the Freedom Mountains because of the Restricted Area. If you look at it from the side, the mountains are shaped like a running youth, full of youthful energy and freedom. Wei Feng¡¯s food supply was exhausted, so he went to the Freedom Mountains with a group of demons. Wei Feng knew there were a dozen of Restricted Areas within Freedom Mountains, and the strongest was only a B Grade. Once a Restricted Area in Freedom Mountains reaches Grade A, they will move away. It wasn¡¯t a requirement to move, so Wei Feng was confused. Wei Feng chose to place Red Maple at the north side of Freedom Mountains. The north side is relatively close to Yancheng, only about three hundred miles. Moreover, this is where the ¡°toes¡± of the mountains are. There are five mountains here, like five toes. So, they are called Toe Mountains. Wei Feng chose to land under a mountain in the middle, between the third and fourth mountains. It was a flat clearing of about forty or fifty miles. Between these two mountains, he has easy access to the interior of Freedom Mountains. Nice! At the foot of the mountain, Wei Feng placed Crown of the Red Maple. Red light permeated the air, and the small tree grew once again into a big tree. The Restricted Area spread and covered half the mountain. Wei Feng let the demons enter Freeman Mountains to hunt freely, while he and Lilith went to Yancheng. To build a Restricted Area, he needs a few professionals for help. He intends to ask Ling Xiaoxiao for help. Angel Mall. Top floor. CEO¡¯s office. Ling Xiaoxiao sat in her renovated office ¨C she was sketching on her desk. The sketch only had an outline, but in the upper left corner were tiny words scribbled onto the paper: Wei Feng. Ling Xiaoxiao grumbled. ¡°Knock knock!¡± All of a sudden, there was a knock. Ling Xiaoxiao quickly tucked the piece of paper away and checked the cameras, ¡°Come in!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say not to disturb me? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s voice was cold, but when she saw who walked in, she was stunned. ¡°Oh¡­! Wei Feng!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Feng with disbelief in her eyes. Wei Feng strolled into the office with Lilith trailing behind him, ¡°Did you decorate the place? Still looks the same to me.¡± Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were focused on Lilith. As a woman, Lilith¡¯s face and body made her green with envy. ¡°I need your help,¡± Wei Feng sat down on the sofa and said. ¡°My help?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao said in surprise, then quickly added, ¡°As long as its within my ability, I¡¯ll help with anything!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°Thank you, but it¡¯s not that big of a deal ¨C I need two architects who can help me out at Freedom Mountains to help me build some buildings.¡± ¡°Architects?¡± ¡°In Freedom Mountains?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was full of questions, but realisation flashed through her eyes, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me¡­ you established your own restricted area?¡± ¡°Got me.¡± Wei Feng nodded, and amused himself in Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s expression. ¡­ After an hour. Ling Xiaoxiao got to know Lilith as well. Wei Feng was surprised that Ling Xiaoxiao invited Lilith to have lunch with them! CH 79 Chapter 79: Introducing Ourselves Lilith went shopping with Ling Xiaoxiao! ¡­without Wei Feng. Wei Feng got bored, and wandered around Yancheng. He took inspiration from Yancheng¡¯s architecture to improve the appearance of his Restricted Area. After wandering around for two hours, Wei Feng found a place to rest. While passing by a caf¨¦, he saw someone familiar through the glass. Zhang Xiyao! She seemed to be on a date ¨C opposite her was a young man in a suit with brown-red hair, and a stern face. He looked handsome. Wei Feng walked away silently, but Zhang Xiyao turned her head and saw him. Zhang Xiyao was stunned for a moment. She recognised him. ¡°Hey!¡± ¡°Wei Feng, is that you? Wait up!¡± Zhang Xiyao shouted in the caf¨¦, but she was muffled by the glass. She ran out. ¡°Wei Feng!¡± Zhang Xiyao had an excited expression like she saw Jesus. ¡°Hi!¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t seen you in a while.¡± Wei Feng smiled. Zhang Xiyao ran straight to him ¨C the young man was staring at them. She grabbed Wei Feng¡¯s arm and muttered, ¡°Do me a favor!¡± She then dragged him to the caf¨¦. Wei Feng didn¡¯t know what to expect. Wei Feng muttered back, ¡°Don¡¯t you like that boy? He looks pretty good!¡± Zhang Xiyao kept walking and pinched Wei Feng¡¯s arm, ¡°Put on your best act! I can¡¯t help it if my family arranges it for me!¡± Wei Feng acted as if he was in pain, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a while and you act like this! ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhang Xiyao snorted, ¡°I know much more now!¡± Zhang Xiyao pushed open the door to the caf¨¦ and whispered to Wei Feng, ¡°Help me out a little here, I¡¯ll introduce you to a great person later.¡± ¡°And how great can he possibly be?¡± Wei Feng pretended to be surprised. ¡°You¡¯ll know when you see it,¡± she replied. Zhang Xiyao dragged Wei Feng to the young man and connected their arms together, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have a boyfriend!¡± Wei Feng smiled at the young man and nodded. Wei Feng exuded a prideful and mysterious aura, alongside his handsome face, it stunned the young man. The young man was unrelenting, however, ¡°I don¡¯t know what family you are from! But you seem friendly!¡± Zhang Xiyao cut in, ¡°He¡¯s from Kyoto! Right Wei Feng?¡± Zhang Xiyao pinched Wei Feng¡¯s arm. Wei Feng simply smiled and nodded. The young man saw through her jig and laughed, ¡°Kyoto? I didn¡¯t know they had Wei surnames in Kyoto!¡± Zhang Xiyao felt bad. She didn¡¯t think this through. ¡°Zhang Xiyao.¡± The young man looked at Zhang Xiyao and said, ¡°Since you have a ¡°boyfriend¡±, I¡¯ll admit it too ¨C I have a girlfriend.¡± Outside the cafe, Lilith and Ling Xiaoxiao walked past. The young man smiled. The young man got up and said, ¡°My girlfriend is here, wait a moment.¡± He walked out. Wei Feng was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did he learn from Zhang Xiyao and wanted to save his face? This is crazy! And too coincidental! Wei Feng whispered to Zhang Xiyao, ¡°What¡¯s his name, anyways?¡± ¡°His name is Lu Yuhan, why?¡± Zhang Xiyao replied. She stared out the window and stared at Lilith. As a girl, a one-sided rivalry began. In this situation, the ugly loses! Wei Feng turned his head to look out the window, and saw that Lu Yuhan was talking to Lilith. He could hear every single word. ¡°These two beautiful leadies, I am Lu Yuhan, the Lu family in Haicheng¡¯s first son! I would like to ask you two for a favor, and I will thank both of you greatly later,¡± he said. Lilith and Ling Xiaoxiao had already seen Wei Feng in the caf¨¦ long ago. Seeing Zhang Xiyao, Ling Xiaoxiao seemed to put two-and-two together. Lilith had no reaction, so Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to help out. ¡°No problem, we¡¯re happy to help!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao said, and dragged Lilith with her. Lu Yuhan was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect this to work. Lu Yuhan hurried forward to open the door for them. Lilith and Ling Xiaoxiao sat across Wei Feng. A very embarrassing scene happened. There were only four seats ¨C so Lu Yuhan had nowhere to sit. He felt something was amiss. How did the women know where to sit? ¡°Cough cough!¡± Lu Yuhan cleared his throat, ¡°Let me introduce you to¡­¡± He froze. He forgot to ask for Lilith and Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s names. Ling Xiaoxiao chuckled and introduced herself, ¡°I¡¯m Ling Xiaoxiao, and I¡¯m from the Ling family in Haicheng. I¡¯m the president of Angel Mall of the Yancheng branch.¡± Zhang Xiyao could sense a rivalry happening. She replied, ¡°Hello, and I¡¯m Zhang Xiyao ¨C I used to be Wei Feng¡¯s classmate.¡± Wei Feng witnessed the scene before him. The war between women ¨C let women resolve it themselves! Lu Yuhan was speechless. The atmosphere was getting weird. Lilith looked at Zhang Xiyao and winked, ¡°And I¡¯m Lilith Antesya, a demon from another world! I currently live at the Red Maple Restricted Area and am in a blood contract with someone!¡± Zhang Xiyao: ! Lu Yuhan: !! What¡¯s going on? A demon? Restricted Areas? A blood contract?! CH 80 Chapter 80: Yangtze¡¯s Survivors Until now, Ling Xiaoxiao thought she was a human being! Several eyes were focused on Wei Feng. Wei Feng merely held a cup of coffee and took a sip, ¡°The coffee here is good!¡± ¡­ Lu Yuhan couldn¡¯t stay here any longer. He was embarrassed to the point of death and wanted to burrow a hole for himself. Seeing him flee, Wei Feng announced, ¡°I¡¯m going to go for a walk, you three have fun!¡± ¡°No!¡± The three women spoke in unison, causing everyone in the caf¨¦ to look at their direction. Zhang Xiyao and Ling Xiaoxiao flushed their faces. Just when Wei Feng thought it was about to get awkward, Ling Xiaoxiao began to talk again to break the silence. In less than ten minutes, the girls struck a great conversation as if Wei Feng wasn¡¯t there. Wei Feng watched the three of them chat continuously for an entire afternoon. It was evening. They ate at a restaurant and they had planned to attend a party. Zhang Xiyao said she wanted to introduce Wei Feng to someone great, and it just so happens that he¡¯s at the party Ling Xiaoxiao was attending. Eight pm. The four arrived at a private mansion in Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s luxury car. Wei Feng and Lilith wanted to go back in the afternoon ¨C after all, they had just moved to Freedom Mountains. However, Ling Xiaoxiao stated that tonight¡¯s banquet was hosted by a business giant who cooperates with Restricted Areas in the line of royal beast rations, so Wei Feng stayed. He lacks food for his beasts. Entering the mansion, a huge banquet comes into view ¨C the chandelier illuminates the room brightly. Young men and women stood around in the living room. As soon as they walked in, Wei Feng saw a few familiar faces. Wang Jiahao, Wei Wenwen, Zhao Ming, Liu Shuan! Zhang Xiyao whispered, ¡°After Yangtze fell to the Fog Restricted Area, some of them fled to Yancheng. Liu Shuan came here with Zhao Ming.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng responded, but avoided them for the moment. He glanced at Wang Jiahao and jokingly said, ¡°Are the two of them still together?¡± Zhang Xiyao gave him a strange look, ¡°So, you were waiting on them to break up? What¡¯s wrong with you! They get along well.¡± ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°Looks like he can¡¯t escape Wei Wenwen¡¯s grasp.¡± ¡°Why do you not like them?!¡± Zhang Xiyao jokingly asked. ¡°Xiyao! Over here!¡± At this time, Wei Wenwen waved Zhang Xiyao over. ¡°Xiaoxiao, long time no see!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was also dragged by someone. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s take a look.¡± Wei Feng held Lilith¡¯s hand and followed Zhang Xiyao to his former classmates. As they approached, Wang Jiahao and Liu Shuan looked at Lilith, before their eyes landed on Wei Feng. ¡°My god!¡± Liu Shuan spit out his drink, and shouted, ¡°Wei Feng, is that you?!¡± ¡°Wei Feng!¡± ¡°Wei Feng¡­?¡± ¡­ Liu Shuan rushed over and hugged Wei Feng hard, ¡°Wei Feng, where were you?! And¡­ why has your body changed so much!¡± Seeing Liu Shuan, Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile, and nodded as a greeting to Wang Jiahao and the others. ¡°It¡¯s a long story ¨C but I¡¯ll tell you when I have time! By the way, did your parents escape Yangtze as well?¡± Liu Shuan¡¯s parents treated Wei Feng well. They were the reason he could have two meals a day. ¡°Well, thanks to Zhao Ming. If it weren¡¯t for him, we wouldn¡¯t be able to get on the first train to Yancheng,¡± Liu Shuan said, then looked at Zhao Ming gratefully. ¡°Right! By the way, your father and your stepmother are here too, along with your stepbrother,¡± Liu Shuan said. Wei Feng was speechless. He didn¡¯t want to be involved with his father anymore. Not to mention, that wicked woman and the sugar boy Cheng Mo. ¡°I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with them anymore,¡± Wei Feng muttered, but Liu Shuan interrupted him. ¡°Hey! Wei Feng, is this goddess with you? I thought she was another guest!¡± Liu Shuan¡¯s eyes were fixated on Lilith. Wei Feng: ¡­ Old habits die hard. Wei Feng sighed, but couldn¡¯t help but admire his dedication to women. Back in school, he pined after Zhang Xiyao, but now, he pines after Lilith. His confidence is too strong! ¡°Well, let me introduce you to Lilith, my¡­ girlfriend!¡± Wei Feng said, holding Lilith¡¯s hands. ¡°Oh my!¡± Liu Shuan came back to his senses, ¡°Wow! Wei Feng, you really do have game!¡± ¡°Ahem! My name is Liu Shuan, I¡¯m Wei Feng¡¯s good friend ¨C if Wei Feng bullies you, let me know! I¡¯ll deal with him,¡± he said, patting his chest. Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng was speechless. He really was shallow. Lilith simply ignored Liu Shuan and glanced at him coldly, causing him to shiver away. ¡°Wei Feng, long time no see!¡± At this moment, Wang Jiahao stepped forward to break the awkward atmosphere. Zhao Ming also came to say a few greetings. They aren¡¯t brainless like Liu Shuan. Wang Jiahao exuded the aura of a certain family elite, so they were somewhat on alert. After a while, Ling Xiaoxiao came over. Liu Shuan was about to begin flirting again. Wei Feng stopped him, however, ¡°Liu Shuan. Not a word.¡± Liu Shuan didn¡¯t care. He added, ¡°It¡¯s okay! We¡¯re all in this together, we¡¯ll take care of each other, alright?¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Speaking to him is like speaking to a wall. ¡°By the way, what are you doing here, Wei Feng?¡± ¡°This is a place for the elites ¨C there is no way that you are a bodyguard, right?¡± ¡°Wei Feng, what level are you now?¡± ¡°I can summon a Level 6 beast now! I¡¯ll protect you in Yancheng! Not to worry.¡± Liu Shuan kept flaunting in front of Wei Feng. Wei Feng didn¡¯t utter a word and just listened, but his eyes caught a figure walking not far from them. Lu Yuhan. CH 81 Chapter 81: Secrets Within Freedom Mountain Among the people were a few tabooists. Lu Yuhan was level 10, and two of them were Level 9, while the other two were Level 10. As a reminder, Zhang Xiyao has reached Level 10, with about 100,000 in attribute values. ¡°What do you want?¡± Zhang Xiyao saw Lu Yuhan bringing a few people with him, and stepped forward to stop them. Lu Yuhan¡¯s grandfather had a good relationship with her grandfather, so she can¡¯t bear to watch him die. Otherwise, she has no way of explaining it to the elders at home. However, he was determined. ¡°Xiyao, don¡¯t get in my way!¡± He then looked at Wei Feng coldly, ¡°This is Yancheng ¨C do you even have the guts to fight me?¡± Wei Feng wanted to laugh. Lu Yuhan was obviously afraid, but his ego was greater. He wanted to use Yancheng to threaten Wei Feng, but he couldn¡¯t care less. ¡°Look-¡± Just as Wei Feng was about to speak, Liu Shuan spoke up with false bravado. He patted Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Wei Feng, don¡¯t be afraid! I¡¯ll handle these guys to show you how powerful I got!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Liu Shuan started to walk towards them, and Wei Feng didn¡¯t know what to say. He means well, but he does have the intent to belittle Wei Feng by showing off. Zhang Xiyao was also a little dumbfounded. Before she could stop him, Liu Shuan pointed at Lu Yuhan and yelled, ¡°You son of a bitch, do you know my boss?! Zhao Ming! He was once one of the greats in Yangtze!¡± Behind him, Zhao Ming froze. He never thought Liu Shuan would throw him under the bus. Lu Yuhan coldly snickered. A nobody like him dared to yell at his face and call him a son of a bitch! ¡°You¡¯re looking for death!¡± Lu Yuhan roared in anger, but Liu Shuan took a step back, ¡°Wait! Wait! Let me summon my beasts, hold on!¡± Lu Yuhan: ¡­ Lu Yuhan went berserk while looking at Liu Shuan¡¯s summoning symbols. Fuck! Is this a joke to him? What an insult! ¡°Roar!¡± Lu Yuhan dashed forward to punch Liu Shuan. ¡°Hold on!¡± Zhang Xiyao shot out and grabbed Lu Yuhan¡¯s arm. She couldn¡¯t let him beat up Liu Shuan while Wei Feng was watching. It would be certain that Lu Yuhan would die. Her intuition was warning her. ¡°Zhang Xiyao!¡± Seeing that his arm was caught by her, he glared at her. ¡°Let go of me! I need to kill this dog!¡± ¡°Enough!¡± A grand voice sounded in the hall. The people watching the scene immediately turned their heads. ¡°How indecent!¡± On the right side of the hall, a man stepped forward into the crowd ¨C his eyes swept across the crowd, and glared at Lu Yuhan. Lu Yuhan wordlessly bowed his head and dashed out the hall. ¡°This is Nangong Han, one of the brothers of the Nangong family. He is the sixth oldest, so they call him the ¡°Sixth Uncle¡±,¡± Zhang Xiyao whispered to Wei Feng. Liu Shuan immediately ceased drawing his summoning symbols in shame. Fortunate enough, Liu Shuan had some shame in him and scurried back to Wei Feng¡¯s side. ¡°Wei Feng, are you okay? If it wasn¡¯t for them fleeing, I would¡¯ve showed them how powerful I was!¡± ¡°Wow, you¡¯re so amazing,¡± Wei Feng sarcastically nodded, and turned his eyes to the Sixth Uncle. Using [Abyss Peek], Wei Feng found that the Sixth Uncle was average at best ¨C only at the level of an Intermediate Beastmaster ¨C what really surprised Wei Feng was the old man in a suit standing beside him. His attributes exceeded 450,000! He was almost an Ascended! ¡°Everyone, I would like to thank you all for joining us tonight. I will not let any of you leave empty-handed!¡± the Sixth Uncle announced. The crowd erupted in applause and thanked him. Wei Feng watched from a distance ¨C he wasn¡¯t experienced in these types of social events, so he would need to ask for Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s help. As the party went on, the Sixth Uncle gathered everyone, and projected a screen. On the screen was a 3D map of Freedom Mountains, and a dozen red dots were marked. ¡°So, I assume everyone here knows where this is!¡± Everyone started to murmur amongst each other, and he continued, ¡°Just yesterday, I discovered the secret of this mountain range!¡± ¡°A secret?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the secret?!¡± ¡°Sixth Uncle, you told us that we weren¡¯t leaving empty handed ¨C is the secret a gift?¡± Discussions erupted in the crowd. He smiled, ¡°Yes! I intend to tell everyone this secret!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Are you for real?!¡± Some people think he¡¯s joking. The consortiums in Yancheng don¡¯t know anything about Freedom Mountains. Before this, a Restricted Area called ¡°Freedom¡± resided in these mountains. The Federation once believed that Freedom will reign as the leader of all Restricted Areas. But for some reason, Freedom disappeared overnight. This has been a pressing mystery ¨C people and beasts alike wanted to look for Freedom, but no one has ever succeeded. Within Freedom Mountains, powerful beasts guard the core ¨C even Level 2 Ascended Beastmasters have fallen to their grasp! ¡°Everyone! Silence! Listen to me,¡¯ he spoke loudly, and zoomed the screen in. ¡°Can somebody tell me what this is,¡± he asked. ¡°This can¡¯t be¡­¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± The crowd widened their eyes. Wei Feng was surprised too. On the screen was a pitch-black vortex ¨C the core of the vortex glowed with a slight scarlet tinge, like it was connected to something. ¡°After some preliminary research, I conclude that this is a crack in reality!¡± ¡°A crack in reality?¡± ¡°Could it be¡­¡± The crowd started to draw conclusions on their on. The sixth uncle continued. It is said that the people who once resided within Freedom disappeared into this crack in reality ¨C and in this crack, is a secret enough to shock the world. CH 82 Chapter 82: Spiritual Upgrade ¨C [Ling Yun!] The Sixth Uncle deliberately brought attention to Freedom Mountains. He wasn¡¯t sure what his intentions were, but it is almost certain that Freedom Mountains will be livelier. Moreover, it seems like Sixth Uncle was someone who was created overnight. Wei Feng suspected that the Federation was up to no good. ¡­ The party was soon over. Ling Xiaoxiao helped Wei Feng to retrieve royal beast food rations worth about 10 million yuan. They then left in Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s car ¨C Wang Jiahao¡¯s and Zhao Ming¡¯s cars were also driving along the same road. ¡°Screech¡­¡± At an intersection, Liu Shuan stuck his head out of Zhao Ming¡¯s car to wave goodbye to Wei Feng, but a black car suddenly rushed out and hit Zhao Ming¡¯s car. ¡°Bang!¡± The irritating sound of tires screeched along the road, and another black car drove over, blocking the intersection. Lu Yuhan stepped out of the car. Alongside him were his four lackeys. One of them rushed to Zhao Ming¡¯s car and yanked Liu Shuan out the car window. ¡°Wait! Hey! Hold on! No! Let me summon my royal beast first!¡± Liu Shuan shouted. ¡°Pfft!¡± The man threw Liu Shuan onto the floor and taunted, ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s see it then.¡± ¡°Just you wait!¡± Liu Shuan feebly got up and started to summon his beasts. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t stand to watch anymore. He got out of the car and trudged towards the man. ¡°You-¡± ¡°Bang!¡± In an instant, the man fell to the ground. Wei Feng continued trudging towards Lu Yuhan. ¡°Die!¡± Lu Yuhan roared, and charged towards Wei Feng. ¡°Bang!¡± In an instant, his body flew. His body flew out at light speed and hit the railing. His three other lackeys were shocked, and did nothing as Wei Feng strolled towards them. Wei Feng wordlessly stretched out his hand and pressed it on their vehicle ¨C with a slight push, their vehicle flew out the street. Dumbfounded. Liu Shuan was still trying to draw his summoning symbols, but kept failing. He kept trying to redraw the symbols but still failed. Wei Feng simply patted him on the shoulder and advised softly, ¡°Liu Shuan, stay humble. Train more and take care of yourself.¡± He then entered Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s car and left. Liu Shuan was stunned and looked at Zhao Ming, ¡°Zhao Ming, did I do something wrong?¡± Zhao Ming: ¡­ Half an hour later. Wei Feng and Lilith said goodbye to Ling Xiaoxiao ¨C they were going to return to Freedom Mountains immediately. Ling Xiaoxiao had hired two architects to help Wei Feng, so he intends to take them to Freedom Mountains to plan for now. ¡°Let me follow too!¡± Zhang Xiyao wanted to follow along too. Wei Feng wanted to decline, but Lilith agreed. Three hours later. They arrived at Freedom Mountains. His beasts and demons were safe and sound. After all, the Wolf King is defending their base. Early in the morning. Wei Feng stood on the ¡°middle toe¡± of the mountain and tried to peer inside Freedom Mountains. However, a thick fog blocked his vision. He couldn¡¯t see anything at all. After returning last night, Wei Feng scouted Freedom Mountains. He concluded that if someone were to come from Yancheng, they will not pass through the south, where they are. Instead, they will enter from the west. After he was confident that he would not be disturbed, Wei Feng plans to upgrade his Restricted Area. The two architects helped Wei Feng to draw a blueprint and made some suggestions, and returned to Yancheng shortly after. Wei Feng asked the Wolf King to escort them back. Next, the actual building of his Restricted Area. Zhang Xiyao was very enthusiastic. Alongside Lilith, they instructed the Great Demons to plant fruit trees and construct some houses made of bamboo. The machetes held by the Evil Guardians were helpful too ¨C it could be used to chop stones and mould stone bricks. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Ling Xiaoxiao sent a batch of royal beast rations for his beasts, and Wei Feng picked them up in person. With these rations, in addition to the Dragon Ape bringing a few demons into the mountain range to hunt for food, food won¡¯t be scarce for a while. For the past three days, Wei Feng has been trying to find a way to increase his power. He found that the most effective way is to ¡°merge¡± with Lilith. His Spirit Power was busy being nurtured by [Spirit World] ¨C it¡¯s like an egg that¡¯s about to hatch. Another four days passed. During this time, Wei Feng summoned two more demonic creatures. Recently, Freedom Mountains has become livelier ¨C Dragon Ape leads a band of demons to hunt for food, and Ling Xiaoxiao continues to send royal beast rations consistently. They won¡¯t have to worry about food. Evening fell. Wei Feng sat on the newly constructed city wall, and frowned while overseeing Freedom Mountains. He noticed that a layer of blood painted near the centre of Freedom Mountains. He feels that something bad was about to happen. ¡°Master, it¡¯s time to rest,¡± Lilith whispered and she flew to the city wall. She leaned against Wei Feng and whispered, ¡°Master, Xiyao has agreed ¨C so tonight, can we¡­¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ The night passed. Rays of light shone on the bamboo houses ¨C grass sprouts within the soil. Ding! [NOTICE: [Spirit World] has successfully nutured Spirit Power, and it has manifested into a physical form.] [NOTICE: [Ling Yun] has been birthed.] ¡­ In Wei Feng¡¯s brain domain, his Spirit Power manifested itself into a tangible form. He looked exactly like Wei Feng ¨C [Spirit World] then morphed itself into a suit of armor and equipped itself onto Wei Feng. Wei Feng felt his Spirit Power increase exponentially. The prompt sounded, and he was shocked. Spirit Power: 1160 Ascended Power This is a tenfold increase! Wei Feng thought this was crazy. But now, he could enter the palace in his mind to purchase a few items of his choosing. For the past few days, he had been stocking up on forbidden energy, so he now had 5540 forbidden energy. Forbidden energy can be converted into forbidden coins ¨C he has enough to buy a ten-point star. His Spirit form [Ling Yun] entered the palace, and the little mouse tending to the store squeaked, ¡°Yo! I can¡¯t believe you managed to make your Spirit Power manifest into a form this soon! Welcome! Welcome! Come in and take a look at what you need ¨C I got everything in here!¡± His spirit form was about a head taller than the mouse. He had an idea. If he attacked this mouse now, could he knock it out? CH 83 Chapter 83: The Ten-Pointed Star However, it was but a fleeting thought. ¡°Well, I want to buy the primary ten-point star!¡± he said as he scurried to the shelf that held the ten-pointed star. ¡°No problem, let me get it for you,¡± The mouse then brought a small ladder and climbed it, and retrieved the ball of light for him. When he obtained the star, his forbidden energy in the Restricted Area decreased by 5000. ¡°Alright. You¡¯re all set. You can use it when you get out of this palace,¡± the mouse smiled. ¡°Okay.¡± Wei Feng nodded and turned to leave. The mouse shouted behind him, ¡°You¡¯re the first of your kind to not rob me, the next time you come here, I¡¯ll give you a 20% discount for all items!¡± Wei Feng: ! Sure enough, this mouse isn¡¯t just any mouse. He could actually sense his thoughts. Good thing he didn¡¯t rob the mouse, otherwise, he didn¡¯t know what would happen. He looked back to the palace. This palace was a world of its own ¨C even if it resides in his own brain, he couldn¡¯t detect everything within the palace. He shook his head. He is still weak, so it¡¯s better to mind his own business and not pry deeper. Looking at the orb containing the star in his hand, he crushed it. With a bang, the orb exploded into rays of brilliant light ¨C countless fluorescent symbols burst out, and rushed to his spirit form¡¯s body. There were more than 10000 summoning symbols. Each arrangement and combination of the symbols were clearly reflected in his body. ¡­ Back in reality. Wei Feng opened his eyes, and Lilith was wrapped around him like an octopus. Zhang Xiyao got too shy last night, so only Wei Feng and Lilith remained in the room. He reached out to pat Lilith¡¯s delicate body, and motioned for her to get up. ¡°Master! It seems like you have obtained the ten-point star!¡± He widened his eyes. ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng nodded and impatiently said, ¡°I¡¯m going to give it a try now!¡± ¡°Yes! Try it! I heard that the beasts within that plane are extraordinarily powerful,¡± Lilith was extremely excited too. Ten minutes later. Wei Feng stood in front of his bamboo house, surrounded by a dense layer of iridescent summoning symbols. Everyone stood around him with anticipation. Especially Zhang Xiyao ¨C her eyes glimmered with hope. Wei Feng had to spend 20 minutes to combine and arrange the summoning symbols, and finally, he formed the ten-point star array. All of a sudden¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Dark clouds covered the once sunny sky, and a thunder bolt crashed in the centre of Freedom Mountains. A blood-red ray rose into the sky, like it was a beacon. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but to stare, and everyone else followed suit. Something unexpected happened within Freedom Mountains. ¡°Roar!¡± A deafening roar sounded ¨C lightning scattered and arced across the mountain. ¡°Buzz!¡± Back in Wei Feng¡¯s Restricted Area, the ten-point star array trembled. Wei Feng peered within in, and he could see that many creatures crowded within the formation, desperate to come into this world. ¡°Boom!¡± A foot bustling with cyan hair with the size of a hill squashed the beasts crowding among the ten-point star, and the creatures burst into gore. For a moment, it was quiet ¨C blood silently flowed into the Restricted Area. Wei Feng took a step back ¨C he felt something was staring at him from the formation, and he was scared. ¡°Boom!¡± A dull sound emitted from the array, and a big hand came through the formation. Wei Feng¡¯s heart almost jumped out of his throat. What¡¯s going on? It seems like there is a behemoth within that realm preventing those creatures from entering this world, and it seems powerful enough to dispel his ten-pointed star! Wei Feng was tense, but was ready to attack. However, the big hand stopped, and summoned a white egg. It then threw the egg over into the world. ¡°Roar!¡± The behemoth roared, shrouding the egg in a dazzling white light. Like a comet, the egg flung through the ten-point star formation. ¡°Boom!¡± The ten-point star array started to dissipate, and Wei Feng could see that the behemoth fell to the ground, and all kinds of creatures started to rush towards the formation, desperate to get out. Wei Feng was speechless. It was clear that the behemoth wanted to ensure that its descendants could live over here. Even at its own expense. The star dissipated and turned into a symbol and penetrated into egg, branding itself upon the baby¡¯s forehead. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained an Ascended Royal Beast Egg [Beast of Light]!] [NOTICE: You have obtained been blessed by the Holy Light of a beast, and all attributes are doubled.] ¡­ A Beast of Light! And a blessing of a god¡­ Wei Feng was really dumbfounded. This Beast of Light is an Ascended, even before being born, and it seems like the behemoth is a God! A god¡­ could there be a level beyond an Ascended? Wei Feng looked at the white egg, and he came to a conclusion. When he formed the star, all of the creatures in that plane were struggling ¨C even the God-tier behemoth overpowered everyone just to send its descendant over, which was enough to prove how powerful every creature was. If the creatures were desperately trying to escape and even sacrifice their life to ensure their descendants escape that plane, this means that¡­ ¡­if he starts to summon now, it is almost guaranteed that all of the beasts summoned will be outrageously strong! He immediately began to draw the summoning symbols again. ¡°Boom!¡± Within Freedom Mountains, the rumbling sounds continued. It was as if the earth was split in half. The blood-red beacon was already dispelled, but Wei Feng was not worried. He had to take advantage of the accident happening over at the centre of Freedom Mountains to cover his tracks. ¡°Buzz!¡± He combined and arranged the symbols, and once again, all the creatures were scrambling at the formation. Every creature was desperate to rush towards the ten-point star. A cunning grey wolf squeezed out of the crowd, and leapt towards the portal. Wei Feng widened his eyes. It seems like one of the creatures managed to escape. At this time, Wei Feng noticed a flame within the sky of that plane coming in at a high speed, and even from across the plane, he could feel the intense heat radiating from it. It feels strong! Wei Feng was excited, but then glanced at the grey wolf ¨C he raised his foot subconsciously. Kick! Wei Feng kicked the grey wolf back into the formation. Zhang Xiyao: ! Lilith: ¡­ Other beasts: !! He¡¯s crazy! CH 84 Chapter 84: Scarlet Flood Dragon Egg Dragon Ape and Ying were stunned watching the scene before them. Did he do that when summoning them? Wei Feng guarded the portal. The creatures on the other side were getting desperate, so he had to choose carefully. Kick the weak ones away! ¡°Chirp!¡± With a sheer cry, the flame ball finally approached the portal. The creatures by the portal quickly fled, and some of the slower creatures melted into ash instantly. Wei Feng was shocked. The flame was too hot! When the flames dissipated, a bird emerged. Wei Feng widened his eyes. It¡¯s a phoenix! Brightly coloured feathers¡­ a majestic crown resting on its head ¨C it¡¯s most definitely a phoenix. He couldn¡¯t believe mythical creatures like it existed. Wei Feng was excited ¨C could the phoenix intend to send an egg over to this realm too? At present, Wei Feng understood something ¨C this ten-point star only has sufficient energy to allow a beast¡¯s descendants to pass. Hence, Wei Feng was looking forward to it. After a brief silence, the phoenix spread its wings and flew away. ¡°Wait! Don¡¯t go!¡± Wei Feng was dumbfounded and shouted into the portal, wishing he could simply enter and gouge the eggs out of it. However, the phoenix flew away without looking back. ¡°Ugh!¡± Wei Feng sighed. A phoenix! Out of his grasp! ¡°What the hell!¡± He punched the ground, but realised something. If the phoenix had left, wouldn¡¯t that mean that the creatures would scramble back to enter the portal? He could see that the creatures trembled near the portal with their heads lowered, as if they were frightened. ¡°Hiss!¡± Suddenly, a huge snake protruded from the portal. A pair of golden slits stared at Wei Feng, as if it was petrifying him. Wei Feng widened his eyes, but stood guard at the portal without flinching. He suddenly understood why the phoenix left. This giant python was most definitely stronger than the phoenix! ¡°Hiss!¡± The giant python spat out a pool of blood on the ground. The pool of blood then formed a dark red egg. The egg was about the size of a washbasin, and the giant python used its tongue to push the egg into the portal. Wei Feng could see within the golden slits that the snake had a trace of reluctance. ¡°Hiss!¡± The egg rolled towards Wei Feng, and the giant python let out a low hiss, as if it was threatening Wei Feng. Wei Feng was ready ¨C he reached out and grabbed the egg gently. ¡°Buzz!¡± The portal dissipated, and turned into a symbol and once again penetrated into the egg. The egg briefly turned translucent, and Wei Feng saw a small snake coiled within ¨C however, there were two protrusions on its head, like a dragon! Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast Egg [Scarlet Flood Dragon]!] ¡­ It was a dragon! Wei Feng blinked at the egg. This was unexpected! The giant python lacked any horns, so how could it produce a dragon egg? A dragon! This is crazy. Wei Feng felt that he didn¡¯t have the brain capacity to understand that plane. It¡¯s amazing how there are still dragons in this world. ¡°Master, why did it give you another egg?¡± Lilith asked. ¡°Master, can we go over and take a look?¡± Lilith asked again. ¡°Hold on!¡± Wei Feng held the dragon egg gingerly and looked up towards the centre of Freedom Mountains ¨C rumbling sounds continued and he could feel energy being passed over. In the sky, dozens of Cruise Flagships were parked in the air, and he could see many figures jumping from above and entering the centre of Freedom Mountains. The creature from within the mountains who had let out a loud roar was suddenly quiet. Wei Feng retracted his gaze, ¡°We can investigate later. For now, I¡¯ll continue summoning!¡± Lilith and the Dragon Ape were surprised watching him draw the summoning symbols again. Ten minutes later, another ten-point star array lit up. Now. After becoming an Ascended, the number of beasts that can be summon is not related to your level, but Spirit Power! At present, Wei Feng¡¯s spirit power has reached a height of 1160 Ascended Power, which makes it easy for him to summon once or twice. When the portal formed again, it was once again densely packed with creatures desperate to enter. The location where the portal manifests itself isn¡¯t fixed ¨C every time a portal is opened, the distance between the opening may even vary by tens of thousands of miles. Wei Feng continued to guard in front of the portal, preventing the weaker creatures from entering his world. After all, he is the first person to have access to the ten-pointed star array after many years ¨C it would be unreasonable to not guard the portal. A group of Level 10 and Ascended beasts crowded at the portal, and Wei Feng was kicking them back in one-by-one. The creatures were dumbfounded. An Ascended Storm Lizard simply left when he realised there was a shoe print on his face. What¡¯s going on? After a Beastmaster opened the portal, he is stopping them from passing through the portal? And he dares to kick them away? This enraged the beasts. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Ow!¡± A group of creatures roared in anger, and some of them even started to attack. Ah¡­ Wei Feng frowned. As a result, Wei Feng lifted his right hand and conjured a burst of magic ¨C dark energy balls bombarded the entrance of the portal, and a hundred beasts were thrown away from the portal. ¡°Boom!¡± A series of explosions sounded, and Wei Feng could see a wolf blasted into the sky, tail curled up and tongue sticking out. The creatures were really dumbfounded. They couldn¡¯t believe that the Beastmaster bombarded them with magic! For no reason! ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, red lightning crashed onto the ground, instantly smiting all the creatures by the portal. The wolf who had just limply landed on the ground was launched into the air again, disappearing out of sight. Ah¡­ A creature with a sturdy body, thick limbs, scarlet hair, four pairs of fleshy wings on its back, and nine tails appeared by the portal. Crack! This alien looked majestic ¨C red electricity arced all over its body ¨C it had eyes that are green and had three pupils. Looking at the beast, Wei Feng understood how strange that plane was. ¡°Awoo¡­¡± A young beast jumped out from the grasp of this alien beast. Reluctantly, its big green eyes blinked, as if it didn¡¯t want to say goodbye to its mother. The alien beast stretched out its tongue and caressed its cub, then stretched out a large paw and pushed the cub into the portal. Wei Feng was moved to tears. How touching! Wei Feng felt that something must have happened on that other plane. Otherwise, this alien beast wouldn¡¯t have sent its own child into an unknown plane, and being taken care of by an unknown human being no less. But it wasn¡¯t in his power to help. He simply waited by the portal, waiting for the cub to enter the portal, so he could hug it. ¡°Awoo~¡± CH 85 Chapter 85: The Ancient Alien Beast ¨C [Xing Xie]! The beast let out a soft cry ¨C red electricity arced all over, and passed through the portal. The cub entered through the portal, arcing with electricity. Its body rapidly grows. ¡°Buzz!¡± By the time it had stepped out of the portal, the young cub had grown to the size of a calf. The portal shrank, then turned into a symbol and embedded itself onto the cub¡¯s forehead. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Xing Xie].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Swallow], derived from Xing Xie.] [NOTICE: [Swallow] increases the effects of [Energy of Flesh and Blood]. The progress speed of [Energy of Flesh and Blood] is increased by 50%.] [NOTICE: [Energy of Flesh and Blood] has been activated.] ¡­ Xing Xie! This is the first Ascended beast that has been summoned by Wei Feng, not counting the eggs, since they have yet to hatch. He peered into its attribute panel. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Xing Xie [Ancient Alien Beast] Level: Level 1 Ascended Attribute: None Strength: 78 Ascended Power Agility: 85 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 83 Ascended Power Bloodline: The bloodline of ancient aliens allows the beast to adapt quickly.

[Scarlet Thunder] ¨C Manipulate blood-red electricity. [Bloody Thunder Field] has not been activated. [Bloody Thunder Nirvana] has not been activated. [Mouth of Xing Xie] has not been activated. [Ultimate Feast] has not been activated. ¡­ Wei Feng was a little surprised. This little cub is strong! It had so many core abilities, even if they weren¡¯t usable yet. Moreover, its bloodline was very powerful. It takes three days for his [Secret of Thunder and Moonlight] to increase his attributes by 1 Ascended Power, but this little guy can increase 3 Ascended Power in a single day! This means that, via Power of Control, he can get 1.5 Ascended Power every day. Very good. In addition, [Swallow] increases the effect of [Energy of Flesh and Blood], which surprised Wei Feng. The effect of these two abilities are roughly the same, which is extracting energy from food. ¡°Awoo!¡± The little cub blinked its big eyes and let out a low cry ¨C its cute appearance swayed Lilith and Zhang Xiyao¡¯s hearts. ¡°Master! This royal beast is too cute!¡± Lilith couldn¡¯t help but run over and touch it. It looked extremely smart ¨C its eyes rolled and made a low voice towards Lilith. ¡°Wow!¡± Lilith was starstruck. ¡°Master, I¡¯ll help you raise this little guy!¡± Lilith reached out and rubbed Xing Xie¡¯s head. It shrunk itself into a ball, with two big eyes blinking cutely like emeralds flickering. ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°It is cute,¡± Zhang Xiyao couldn¡¯t help but mutter. The two women picked up the ball and ran to get royal beast rations. Wei Feng stood there wordlessly. He had finally summoned a royal beast, but it was snatched away by Lilith and Zhang Xiyao. ¡°Master, do it again!¡± ¡°Yes, summon another beast, master!¡± Dragon Ape and the Wolf King shouted ¨C they were addicted to seeing Wei Feng summon beasts. He didn¡¯t blame them ¨C he was addicted too. Wei Feng knows his limit. He can summon two more! Meanwhile, at the centre of Freedom Mountains, it was completely fried. There were no less than 100 Ascended powerhouses surrounding the black pit, watching the scarlet crack that was gradually expanding. The alien beast that was guarding the pit stood at the bottom of the pit ¨C blood flowing out of its body and poured into the crack. A white figure appeared. It shifted its white robe, revealing a turtle beast. It stretched its neck out and looked into the pit. The people were shocked at the appearance of the turtle and were on guard. A group of tabooists took two steps back. The group of tabooists were afraid because they could tell where the turtle was from. The Eternal Restricted Area! The turtle beast comes from the #1 Restricted Area! ¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± Meanwhile, Wei Feng spent five minutes summoning a portal. When the ten-point star array lit up, the beasts cheered. ¡°Master, you¡¯re so strong!¡± ¡°Master, I want a female ape!¡± This must be what the Dragon Ape requested. The Wolf King sneered, ¡°Master, get me a bitch! No, I mean, a she-wolf! Awoo!¡± Dragon Ape: ¡­ Ying: ¡­ Wei Feng was speechless. He was the one summoning, so why are they so excited? It was a little funny. As expected, as soon as he summoned the portal, all kinds of beasts tried to rush towards the portal. He was a little disappointed that he didn¡¯t see the grey wolf again. He wanted to give it a kick again. ¡°Awoo!¡± Just as Wei Feng finished his thoughts, a low wolf howl sounded. The Wolf King was excited and peered into the portal, ¡°Master, there really is a female wolf! Her voice is deep and powerful, and it can definitely bear great children! Cubs! Ah, no, I mean, it will definitely become a great and powerful beast for master!¡± The Dragon Ape was envious, ¡°Wolf King! Look! I can¡¯t believe master is about to summon a she-wolf for you.¡± Ying: ¡°Really? Let me see!¡± Thunder Bird: ¡­ Wei Feng: ¡­ The heads of the Wolf King, Dragon Ape, and Ying blocked the portal. ¡°Get up! Get up!¡± Wei Feng shooed them away. He then saw a group of white-haired wolves trying to rush into the portal. The other creatures crowding by the portal quickly back off, seemingly afraid of the pack of wolves. A male wolf tried to leap towards the portal. ¡°No!¡± Before Wei Feng could react, the Wolf King rushed forwards and kicked the wolf back into the portal. ¡°No males allowed!¡± The Wolf King stood proudly in front of the portal and shouted loudly. Wei Feng: ¡­ Dragon Ape: ¡­ Ying: ¡­ CH 86 Chapter 86: Ancient Race ¨C [Snow Wolf] The male snow wolf who was kicked back into the portal howled with anger, but in an instant, he was hauled back by the pack by two tall blood wolves. At this moment, another snow wolf leapt forward ¨C its graceful figure and charming, big eyes indicated that it was a female wolf. The Wolf King widened his eyes ¨C with a happy face, he was about to greet her with an embrace. ¡°Bang!¡± The Dragon Ape pressed his foot on the portal, and the female snow wolf slammed into it snout first. ¡°You¡¯re too weak! No entry!¡± Dragon Ape shouted. The Wolf King was angered. It rushed towards the Dragon Ape and roared, ¡°You¡¯re so dead! How dare you kick my Snow Wolf!¡± ¡°Awoo!¡± ¡°Woo!¡± The wolves howled one after another. Dragon Ape lowered its foot, and Wei Feng could see that the snow wolves made way for a tiny snow wolf cub. It walked towards the ten-pointed star with graceful steps. All the wolves lowered their heads. The Wolf King excitedly laid in front of the portal, and he looked exactly like a dog. ¡°Awoo!¡± The little snow wolf walked towards the portal and turned its head. It then let out a low voice towards the distance. The snow-capped mountains in the distance moved. Wei Feng: ! Wait a minute. Those aren¡¯t mountains. Those are wolves! ¡°Awoo!¡± The little snow wolf howled again, shaking the heavens and the earth. With a single howl, all the other creatures lowered their heads. Wei Feng was shocked beyond words. He was certain that there was a big problem in the other realm. Powerful beings of another world, God-tier beasts; all of them were desperate enough to send their own offspring into this world. However, this was also an opportunity. He had one last summon, and he wanted to make good use of it. He needed to find Ling Xiaoxiao to help. Besides, he hasn¡¯t paid her for those rations. ¡°Buzz!¡± The little wolf stepped out of the portal, and the portal immediately shrank ¨C as usual, it shrunk into a symbol and embedded itself onto its forehead. The Wolf King was extraordinarily disciplined. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Snow Wolf].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Hunt], derived from [Snow Wolf].] ¡­ He picked up the snow wolf, and realised that its fur was beautiful and majestic. Every single strand of fur was like snow; white and flawless, shining with luster. The Snow Wolf¡¯s breed was obviously different from the Wolf King. Its snout was a little longer, and its tail thick and fluffy. It seems that its proportions were also a little bigger than the Wolf King ¨C it looked agile and fast. Wei Feng peered into its attribute panel. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Snow Wolf [Ancient Race] Level: Level 1 Ascended Beast Attribute: Wind Strength: 80 Ascended Power Agility: 100 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 80 Ascended Power Bloodline: The Snow Wolf inherits the bloodline of the oldest species in this world, and is able to continuously strengthen itself.

Snow wolves can manipulate the wind, and they can also bless other creatures to gain the ability to manipulate wind. [3 charges] ¡­ No wonder the Wolf King was obedient ¨C turns out, the Snow Wolf can completely defeat the Wolf King! Haha! Wei Feng wanted to laugh. This little wolf was definitely female. Pity. The Wolf King will never be able to catch up to the Snow Wolf. However, what surprised Wei Feng was that the Snow Wolf was of the Wind attribute. Moreover, according to the panel, it was the only race that is recognised and blessed by the wind! That¡¯s crazy! In addition, Wei Feng noticed that the Snow Wolf can pass on its ability to manipulate wind. However, Wei Feng wasn¡¯t in a hurry to use it. Because there are only 3 charges of the hidden ability, indicating that the Snow Wolf can only pass the ability to 3 people, so he has to be careful. He had one summon left, but he didn¡¯t plan to do it here. He was formulating a plan. Meanwhile, at the centre of Freedom Mountains. The loud rumbling continued within the centre, and the Cruise Flagships within the area had already retreated. However, the Freedom Mountains were obviously livelier. Wei Feng didn¡¯t have any intention to investigate, though. No matter what rare treasures are contained within, it can¡¯t compare to what he has now. He let Lilith and Zhang Xiyao look after the Red Maple Restricted Area, and went to Yancheng alone. An hour later, Wei Feng was at Angel Mall. He ran over ¨C it was much faster than taking a car. He then took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Ling Xiaoxiao pacing back and forth in her office. Before coming, he had already informed her of his plans. ¡°Just you?¡± Ling Xiaoxiao was surprised he came alone. ¡°Well, I was worried. There¡¯s something wrong over at Freedom Mountains, so I have to rush back in a bit,¡± Wei Feng nodded. ¡°Is everything ready?¡± Wei Feng asked. ¡°Well, it¡¯s ready,¡± Ling Xiaoxiao walked back into her office, and pushed a button. Blue light flooded the room. The device is a holographic capture device, capable of directional capture and holographic recording. ¡°Let¡¯s start now,¡± Wei Feng stood in the centre of her office and began to draw the summoning symbols. Wei Feng¡¯s plan was simple ¨C use the capture device to record the scene where he summons an Ascended Beast, and to record the scene where Ascended Beasts desperately try to reach into our world. When Wei Feng told Ling Xiaoxiao about his plan, she was shocked and speechless. She couldn¡¯t believe that Wei Feng had obtained a ten-point star array. He was willing to enter a partnership with her too! After his call, Ling Xiaoxiao simply told him to leave the rest to her. He believed her. He had a quest, which was to promote the ten-point star array. His ten-point star array cost him 5000 Forbidden Energy, and he didn¡¯t want it to go to waste. He wanted to earn a fortune somehow. Moreover, the implications would be great. In the future, Ascended Beasts summoned by your enemies will be through the ten-point star array that he himself brought back into existence. He would be powerful. He thought about it for a bit, but to him, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so he continued. After all, he wanted to complete his quest. ¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± As the portal lit up, the creatures in the other plane started to be restless again. Wei Feng continued to guard the portal, kicking undesirable beasts back into the portal. This scene was clearly recorded by the capture device. Half an hour later. Wei Feng left Angel Mall. Another ten minutes later, a set of pictures were transmitted via special methods. CH 87 Chapter 87: Divine Beast ¨C [Scarlet Flood Dragon] The set of pictures sent to them caused the entire room to be silent. The information relayed in the photo was too great. A ten-point star! The star formation that was lost forever suddenly appeared back into reality. Everyone knows the implications of this. This will change the course of the world. ¡­ The set of pictures were paused on the scene where Wei Feng kicks the Ascended Beasts back into the portal. They thought it was unacceptable. He was the only person capable of summoning Ascended Beasts, but kicked them back inside! Moreover, it looked like there were too many Ascended Beasts! They knew the implications of that. With the surplus of Ascended Beasts within that realm, the sooner you get a ten-point star array, the stronger the Ascended Beasts summoned. ¡°Was this picture sent from Yancheng?¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go investigate myself.¡± ¡­ At the same time, the patriarchs of elite families in Jiangcheng and Haicheng also received these sets of pictures. All of them rushed to Yancheng. Everyone wants to be the second to get the ten-point star, and then summon an Ascended Beast with great potential. The last image depicted a behemoth personally escorting its child into the portal. Freedom Mountains. The loud rumbling continued after six hours. In the big pit, the scarlet crack expanded to three metres wide and ten metres long, but nothing could be seen inside. The creature that helped the crack to expand had fallen to the bottom of the pit. Red Maple Restricted Area. After Wei Feng came back, he resummoned his small beast. The little beast was named Ling Wu, and it can adapt to both the sky and land.

[Wood ¨C Ten Thousand Trees and Flowers] has not been activated. ¡­ It seems that Ling Wu is a beast focused on magic ¨C not strong in melee combat, but is capable of supporting other beasts. Especially [Purify]. Wei Feng got this ability too, so he would effectively be immune to all negative effects, which was strong in itself. Ling Wu had fluffy feathers and a round body. It had a small mouth and big, cute eyes. Wei Feng already knew what would happen when he summoned it. Sure enough, Lilith and Zhang Xiyao were smitten. Just like that, Ling Wu was carried away by the two women. They also made the Snow Wolf tag along. Wei Feng felt a little helpless. It is unwise to look down upon the three young beasts. They can single handedly defend Red Maple! Apart from Wei Feng, these three were the most powerful in the area. Although it feels comedic, it¡¯s true. In addition, he had two unhatched eggs. The Flood Dragon Egg and Bright Beast Egg. Wei Feng had the feeling that these two little guys in the eggs were stronger than the three beasts. He was looking at it based off species, and not level. Especially the Bright Beast egg, since it was blessed by a God-tier beast. It¡¯s crazy! ¡°Crack!¡¯ Suddenly, the two eggs that were incubating in front of the bamboo house made a crisp sound. A crack spread rapidly across the eggs. ¡°They¡¯re going to hatch!¡± Lilith ran over with Ling Wu in her arms, and Wei Feng followed suit. The two eggs were covered in cracks. ¡°Buzz!¡± Suddenly, the bright beast egg hatched, and brilliant white light emerged from the egg shell. ¡°Roar!¡± The other egg let out a roar and burst into red light. ¡°Ah!¡± Wei Feng exclaimed. He knew that these two little beasts were not ordinary ¨C they were already incredibly competitive, and they seemed grumpy. ¡°Crack!¡± The Flood Dragon egg was the first to shatter, and a small head with dragon horns poked out of the egg. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The little dragon swam out of the egg shell ¨C it swam in the air as if it was water. It rolled a circle in the air, and landed on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Hiss!¡± The little dragon landed on his shoulder, and cupped Wei Feng¡¯s neck affectionately. Wei Feng was relieved that the beast was friendly. Ding! [NOTICE: [Scarlet Flood Dragon] has hatched successfully.] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Float], derived from [Scarlet Flood Dragon].] ¡­ Wei Feng noticed that he was floating off the ground. This ability allowed him to ignore the gravity of Earth! Wei Feng widened his eyes. This was crazy! Deactivate! And the ability deactivated at his command. He floated in the air for a bit, then landed on the ground. He knows how to fly, but isn¡¯t proficient ¨C with more practice, perhaps he can glide through the air gracefully like the Scarlet Flood Dragon. ¡°Master, you¡­ you can fly!¡± exclaimed Lilith. A few beasts were dumbfounded as well. Wei Feng didn¡¯t need any tools to help him fly. It¡¯s important to note that even high-levelled Ascended Beastmasters are unable to fly at will. Now, Wei Feng is able to do so. This quality-of-life ability has brought Wei Feng great use in the future. He looked at the little dragon happily ¨C it surely didn¡¯t disappoint.

Now, he was sure that the python that spat out this egg was not its parent, but a guardian. A guardian¡­ This concept was crazy to him. This was like day and night! CH 88 Chapter 88: The Scarlet Wind Blows, and Everyone Levels Up! Crack! The Bright Beast egg started to hatch. A small head popped out of the egg shell. It was somewhat similar to a dragon, with two protrusions on its head and white scales on its forehead. ¡°Roar!¡± The little beast was fierce, and glared at the Scarlet Flood Dragon. It leapt forward, breaking free from its eggshell. Its four hooves glowed with white light and galloped through the air, and perched itself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± The two beasts yelled at each other across Wei Feng¡¯s head.

After the Scarlet Flood Dragon and Beast of Light was hatched, Wei Feng felt that he could summon two more times thanks to them. The real power of Power of Control¡­ It is infinite. Summon a beast, get the beast¡¯s attribute bonus, and you can summon again! Wei Feng feels that the Power of Control is too powerful. No, it is the best. ¡°Buzz!¡± So, Wei Feng drew the summoning symbol again to summon. Summon the best! ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, a huge explosion could be heard from the centre of Freedom Mountains. A scarlet light shot straight into the sky, and disappeared. Wei Feng: ! What¡¯s going on? It¡¯s like an explosion. While maintaining the ten-point star array, Wei Feng casted magic power. The Scarlet Flood Dragon, Beast of Light, Xing Xie, and other beasts used their abilities to erect a thick energy defence on the city wall. ¡°Buzz!¡± A tremor erupted, and in the centre of Freedom Mountains, red light burst. ¡°Boom!¡± Wherever the red light passed, trees grew rapidly, branches grew lush. The mountains grew larger with every single rumble. In the lake at the belly of Freedom Mountains, the lake water boils. Wei Feng widened his eyes. This energy was terrifying. ¡°Boom!¡± Red light swept past them as well. A series of prompts sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s brain. Ding! [NOTICE: You have been blessed by [Scarlet Wind]. All attributes are doubled, and you have levelled up to a Level 2 Ascended Beastmaster.] [NOTICE: All forbidden items have been upgraded by a tier.] [NOTICE: [Silence of the Night] has upgraded to an Ascended Forbidden Item, and unlocks exclusive abilities.] [NOTICE: [Scarlet Flood Dragon] has reached Level 4 Ascended.] [NOTICE: [Beast of Light] has reached Level 4 Ascended.] [NOTICE: ¡­] ¡­ CH 89 Chapter 89: Divine Beast ¨C [Blood Tiger] All forbidden items increased by a tier. And Ying, Dragon Ape, and Thunder Bird became Ascended Beasts. What is [Scarlet Wind]? It¡¯s too powerful! This wind swept across the entirety of Red Maple, then dissipated. Wherever it blew, vegetation grew, and beasts grew too. Wei Feng pondered. Was [Scarlet Wind] going to sweep across the world? And raise everyone¡¯s level by one? How big of an impact would this be? ¡°Buzz!¡± Meanwhile, as he maintained the portal, a young fox with red fur stepped out of the portal. It was a pity that the fox was one step too late, and failed to catch [Scarlet Wind]. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Red Fox].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Flaming Spirit], derived from [Red Fox].] ¡­ The attributes of the Red Fox were similar to the Snow Wolf, and most of its core abilities were supportive. After summoning the Red Fox, he didn¡¯t rush to summon again. Instead, he flew up into the air and peered into the centre of Freedom Mountains. Surprisingly, Freedom Mountains was exceptionally quiet. Wei Feng descended and shook his head. It was obvious that whatever was happening at Freedom Mountains wasn¡¯t over yet. A big incident was happening at the centre of Freedom Mountains. ¡­ No matter what, Wei Feng was ready to continue summoning. No matter what, your own strength is the most important. Moreover, the ten-pointed star was about to be promoted to the public, and he wanted to summon as much as possible before it became commercial. ¡°Ah! I have Ascended too!¡± Zhang Xiyao shouted happily. In the past two days, she has been envious of Wei Feng¡¯s constant summonings. Now that a Scarlet Wind swept through, she became Ascended. Zhang Xiyao learnt the ten-point star formation, and it only took her two hours to learn it. Half an hour later, she was sweating profusely and looked helpless. It really is different doing it on your own. She was struggling! It¡¯s all about Spirit Power! Fortunately, she managed to open a portal. She is now officially the second Beastmaster to summon Ascended Beasts. It seems that another behemoth intends to send its own children over, too. The portal shrank and turned itself into a symbol and branded itself onto the beast¡¯s forehead, and just like that, she obtained an Ascended Beast of her own. It looked a bit like a lion, with golden fur covering its body. Seeing Zhang Xiyao this happy, he wanted to remind her of something. Zhang Xiyao is a tabooist, and the main source of energy for tabooists are royal beasts. That means that the royal beasts¡¯ energy will be consumed. Seeing Wei Feng looking at her, Zhang Xiyao understood his thoughts. She simply smiled and shook her head, and combed through her beast¡¯s fur. He was relieved. ¡­ Since [Scarlet Wind] swept through, Wei Feng was a Level 2 Ascended Beastmaster and doubled his attributes. Now, his Spirit Power was 4000 Ascended Power. This means that he can continue summoning. He wanted to summon one more time, then continue tomorrow. He was afraid that if he continued summoning, the beasts would feel less motivated to send their offspring over. ¡°Buzz!¡± The ten-pointed star array lit up again. Zhang Xiyao wiped the sweat from her forehead and shook her head, ¡°He¡¯s crazy!¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Lilith sat beside her holding the Snow Wolf in her arms, ¡°This way, master will be more powerful!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of gaining more power when you¡¯re the best!¡± she said sincerely. ¡°Roar!¡± A roar could be heard from the portal. The Scarlet Flood Dragon swam in the sky, and announced in broken human language, ¡°Blood! Tiger! God! Me! Like me!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. Another Divine Beast? As the bloody figure approached, a blood tiger appeared in front of the portal. Its eyes were golden, sending shivers to everyone¡¯s spine. It was like its fur was soaked in blood. ¡°Roar!¡± Another roar sounded, and the portal turned scarlet. The pungent blood energy could be felt from this side as well. Within the portal, a little cub strode forward. ¡°Buzz!¡± It stepped out of the portal, and as usual, the portal shrunk, turned into a symbol, and embedded itself onto its forehead. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Beast [Blood Tiger].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Smash], derived from [Blood Tiger].] ¡­ After the summoning mark was embedded, it became livelier, and wagged its tail at Wei Feng. Wei Feng was satisfied. There were Four Gods that composes the Divine Beast bloodline, and he has obtained three of four of their descendants. He will rest now, and continue tomorrow. Even if the ten-point star was promoted commercially, Wei Feng couldn¡¯t let them summon powerful royal beasts. It¡¯s clear he wants all the powerful beasts to himself. He peered into the blood tiger¡¯s panel.

CH 90 Chapter 90: Training It¡¯s very powerful! Moreover, judging by its core abilities, it is an offensive-focused beast. ¡­ Evening came. A bonfire was raised in front of the bamboo house. The group of baby beasts played around the bonfire. It was lively. The Snow Wolf and Blood Tiger got together, trying to train their human language. ¡°Awoo! Bark!¡± The Wolf King shrunk himself into the size of a puppy ¨C his body shone in the moonlight, shining brightly. He leaned in front of the Snow Wolf and howled, then walked away in a dignified manner. This made Snow Wolf and Blood Tiger dumbfounded. Blood Tiger: ¡°Is he a wolf? He¡¯s the same kind as you, so he shouldn¡¯t be a dog!¡± Snow Wolf was a little dumbfounded, ¡°I¡¯m not sure. We are part of the proud Wolf Clan, so how could we bark?¡± Blood Tiger remembered something, ¡°Didn¡¯t sister Lilith tell us that there is a type of human called ¡°Dog Licking,¡± maybe that¡¯s what he is!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± The Wolf King almost spat out blood. How outrageous to treat him like a licking dog! ¡°Awoo!¡± The only legs I¡¯ll lick is master¡¯s! He thought to himself. ¡°Crash!¡± A dark cloud shrouded the Wolf King¡¯s head, and light fell upon him. Ling Wu opened her mouth and sang the song she just learnt, ¡°Love is too deep, and it hurts too deep¡­¡± Wei Feng was amused. These little beasts were too entertaining. Shaking his head, Wei Feng stepped aside to familiarize himself with his new core abilities. Practicing [Float], Wei Feng took a look inside Freedom Mountains. Since the afternoon, the centre of Freedom Mountains has been exceptionally quiet. Because of [Scarlet Wind], the trees became tall and lush. It¡¯s hard to see inside. Later at night, the group of little beasts fell asleep. Although they are incredibly powerful, they are still babies. Hence, they will get tired easily. ¡°Master, they are too cute!¡± Lilith said softly while leaning on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulder. The little beasts slept soundly by the warm bonfire. Zhang Xiyao had returned to Yancheng earlier today. Her family elders urged her again and again to return, so she had no choice. Before she left, she swore to Wei Feng that she wouldn¡¯t leak the ten-point star array. Wei Feng told her there was no need, but she insisted. By now, the top commanders of the Federation, and elite families should have obtained the ten-point star arrays by Ling Xiaoxiao. They should have completed the transaction by now. He held Lilith¡¯s slender waist, ¡°In a few days, we will take them to scout the major Restricted Areas. How about conquering Freedom Mountains first?¡± ¡°Occupying the Freedom Mountain? Would it really be okay?¡± Lilith raised her head and asked worriedly. ¡°Yup!¡± Wei Feng stared at the centre area of Freedom Mountains and said enthusiastically, ¡°No matter what is there, we will conquer it.¡± ¡­ Wei Feng did not exaggerate. After [Scarlet Wind] blew, Thunder Bird, Dragon Ape, and Ying were Ascended. In addition to the bonuses in attributes, some of their abilities were activated. In particular, [Source of Strength] and [Source of Agility] has been activated once again. Wei Feng¡¯s attributes were at an all-time high. Today, Wei Feng¡¯s three basic attributes were: Strength, 1290 Ascended Power; Agility, 1310 Ascended Power; Spirit Power, 4575 Ascended Power. After being Ascended, the growth of attributes changes. Every time a human increase by a level, their attributes grow by about a hundred at most. Not just humans, but ordinary beasts as well. Alien beasts with good bloodlines may have a higher attribute growth, but never to the point where the attribute value doubles. Wei Feng learnt that even Divine Beasts cannot do this. Especially after their level gets higher, the increase in attributes obtained after entering the new level will be smaller. However, Divine Beasts benefit since they can crush other creatures, and later on, they can outlast other beasts. ¡­ When the sky lit up, Wei Feng opened his eyes from his meditation. Ding! [NOTICE: Energy of Flesh and Blood has been consumed. All attributes increased by 200 Ascended Power.] ¡­ Wei Feng once again gets extra attributes. He was satisfied. With [Swallow] integrating with [Energy of Flesh and Blood], the effect was greater. ¡°Yawn¡­¡± The young beasts woke up one after another ¨C they were all still sleepy and looked very cute. At the northern city wall, Ying was training a group of demons. After [Scarlet Wind], they too have levelled up by a level. ¡°Buzz!¡± From the direction of Yancheng, a helicopter flew above. It was trying to drop a large wooden box. The helicopter flew above Red Maple, and the big wooden box was dropped. It was caught swiftly by the Dragon Ape. It was a standard 50¡Á50 box, about tens of thousands of kilograms. It was like a feather to the Dragon Ape. ¡°Boom!¡± The Dragon Ape held the wooden box, and gently placed it on the ground. The wooden box was soon disassembled, and inside were various classified and packaged materials. There are royal beast rations, medicine, and a lot of royal beast armaments. Inside a small box, Wei Feng found a projector. It was a projection of Ling Xiaoxiao trading with major families. Ling Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t specify how much profit she got, but from her excited expression, Wei Feng guessed that she made a lot of money. The beast armaments were distributed among the demons. These guys were supporting Wei Feng, and they looked good using these armaments. In the afternoon, while training the young beasts, Wei Feng familiarized himself with his new abilities. Wei Feng let the young beasts attack him, and the result was tragic. The young beasts were so confused, since he underestimated their fighting ability. Wei Feng had to beg for mercy for them to stop. This made the Wolf King¡¯s eyes light up ¨C he shrunk his body and moved towards Wei Feng. Wei Feng held the Wolf King and started beating him. ¡°Woo! Bark bark bark bark!¡± After beating the Wolf King, Wei Feng was energized again, and let the young beasts attack him again. This time, Wei Feng used his magic ¨C the magic recorded within Dark Codex was constantly casted out of Wei Feng like fireworks. Now that [Dark Codex] has Ascended as well, he has unlocked exclusive Ascended magic! CH 91 Chapter 91: While Others Are Primary, We Are Intermediate! Once his Spirit Power took on a form, Wei Feng felt incredibly powerful. His physical strength improved a lot as well. By the time training had ended in the afternoon, the little royal beasts were exhausted. There is no way to win ¨C Wei Feng has all of their core abilities, and coupled with his high attributes, it is inevitable to lose. ¡°Ah!¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon fell to the ground and rolled into a ball, ¡°I can¡¯t do this anymore! Master is too powerful!¡± ¡°Ouch!¡± Their sister, Red Fox, shouted as Wei Feng punched her eye, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. ¡°Oof!¡± Their other sister, Snow Wolf, had also taken a rough beating. She tried using her [Hunt] ability, but Wei Feng¡¯s own variation of [Hunt] was too powerful. Ling Wu, the Ancient Alien beast took a kick to its stomach, and hit a tree not far away. His body slid down miserably. The Beast of Light and Blood Tiger were also beaten up by Wei Feng and couldn¡¯t get up. Lilith, with distress, reminded Wei Feng, ¡°Master! They are still young, be gentle!¡± ¡°Argh¡­¡± Wei Feng sighed and pointed at them, ¡°All of you are too useless! Do you expect me to protect all of you in the future? Get up!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Master, I¡¯m up!¡± The group of little beasts quickly got up and resumed their training. The training didn¡¯t end until late evening, and the beasts stumbled around, exhausted. The only one who really gained progress was Wei Feng himself. A bonfire was raised, and fish and antelope meat were grilled over the fire. The aroma of meat wafted through the air. The tiny beasts feasted on the meat. Wei Feng smiled watching them gobbling it up. They may look small, but they are all big eaters. ¡°Master, have some.¡± Lilith handed Wei Feng a skewer of lamb, and sprinkled it with a layer of cumin, adding to the aroma. ¡°Master, you must be exhausted from training them! I¡¯ll massage your shoulders,¡± she then walked behind Wei Feng and pressed her nimble fingers over his shoulders lightly. Wei Feng nibbled while looking at the beasts, ¡°It¡¯s not really about training them ¨C in the end, I was the one who benefited from the training more compared to them. After all, I¡¯m the one who requires the most training.¡± With that said, he then turned to look at the centre of Freedom Mountains, ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll take them into the Freedom Mountain Range to fight some Ascended Beasts!¡± Ever since [Scarlet Wind] blew, Freedom Mountains was running rampant with Ascended Beasts. There was an abundance of Level 10 beasts in the Mountains previously, so it is no surprise that all of them became Ascended Beasts. ¡°Alright! Take care of them for me. I have unfinished business,¡± Wei Feng then got up and walked towards the open space by their area. Lilith followed him, however, and said, ¡°Master, you shouldn¡¯t spoil them! I¡¯ll follow you.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng chuckled, ¡°Why? I thought you adored them.¡± Lilith smiled, ¡°Compared to Master, they come second.¡± ¡°Ha ha!¡± ¡­ He came to the open space and sat down. He then entered his brain domain. The manifestation of his Spirit Power looked exactly like a miniature version of Wei Feng, and he donned magnificent golden armor. He went to the palace in his brain. He stepped into the magnificent palace, and a dazzling array of goods were displayed again. ¡°Welcome!¡± The grey mouse hopped from the counter and bowed to Wei Feng, ¡°What are you buying today? As promised from last time, you will get a 20% discount!¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Wei Feng nodded and stepped forward. He currently has 50961 Forbidden Energy. He obtained this much energy from summoning in the past few days and obtaining his new Ascended Beasts. These baby Ascended Beasts were all real and genuine Ascended Beasts. ¡°I want that!¡± Wei Feng pointed to another ten-point star array, which was of an Intermediate level and had 53233 summoning runes. ¡°Alright!¡± The grey mouse moved his small ladder to obtain the star, and Wei Feng¡¯s Forbidden Energy amount was deducted by 8000. The mouse really gave him a 20% discount! Wei Feng plans to buy more. So, he pointed to the Royal Beast Armament, ¡°I want those two weapons too.¡± Then, he pointed to the eggs, ¡°I want two Royal Beast eggs too!¡± ¡°And these medicines!¡± ¡°And those royal beast rations as well!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng spent more than 50000 Forbidden Energy and he had 61 remaining. Wei Feng was a little puzzled while looking at his cart. ¡°Hey, why do you only sell Tier 1 and Tier 2 products here? Do you sell Tier 3 products as well?¡± ¡°Oh!¡± The mouse quickly explained, ¡°For Tier 3 items, you need 100,000 Forbidden Energy to unlock them!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ ¡°Damn it! Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier? I thought you only had Tier 1 and Tier 2 items here!¡± Wei Feng said speechlessly, looking at the pile of items in his cart. ¡°Well, you didn¡¯t ask!¡± The mouse replied innocently. Ah. The mouse blamed him. Wei Feng walked out of the palace angrily. The mouse scurried to the palace entrance and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry! I¡¯ll give you a 30% discount the next time you come!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s mood improved and said excitedly, ¡°A promise is a promise!¡± The mouse was dumbfounded. His mood changes too quick! ¡­ When Wei Feng walked out of the palace, some of his items transformed into energy and exited his brain. In reality, the energy gathered and turned into his purchased items ¨C two royal beast eggs, delicately packaged rations, and four small boxes. In his brain, Wei Feng crushed the intermediate ten-point star array, and in an instant, the surrounding area was filled with dense summoning symbols. An intermediate-level ten-point star array has more than 53000 summoning symbols, which is five times more than that of a primary star! However, with Wei Feng¡¯s abnormally high spirit power, it was a piece of cake to him. In an hour, Wei Feng drew out all of the summoning symbols. He then arranged all the symbols, and a portal, five times larger than a primary portal, was opened. This is¡­ ¡­a strategic summoning! When everyone is rushing to summon their own Ascended Beasts using primary stars, his own intermediate star would stand out. This means that¡­ He wouldn¡¯t need to think about choosing which royal beast, since they would be strong regardless! ¡°Buzz!¡± His portal formed, and Wei Feng found that it was easier to look into. Coincidentally, he could see another portal open up within the other plane, and it was a portal using a primary ten-point star array. It was obvious that whoever opened the portal was not strong ¨C their portal was flickering in and out of existence. Even then, there were still many creatures surrounding that portal. After all, they were desperate to leave. However, when an intermediate portal opened, the creatures went berserk. Every creature rushed towards his portal. ¡­ Meanwhile, the Lu family in Haicheng. Lu Yuhan looked at the ten-point star array in front of him. As a direct descendant of the Lu family, he was naturally among the first to obtain the ten-point star array. After [Scarlet Wind] blew across the world, he has become Ascended, and now that he has obtained the ten-point star array, he feels that he is about to literally ascend. He felt that as long as he could summon a powerful royal beast and absorb its energy, he would be able to crush Wei Feng. He spent a long time learning the summoning symbols, then spent another two hours trying to open a portal. He was full of anticipation when thinking of choosing an Ascended Beast, but he found that when he opened his portal, there were no beasts in sight. At this moment¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± His portal trembled violently, and a dark figure appeared in front of his portal. ¡°Oh my god!¡± He thought of the leaked picture. The picture was a behemoth from that plane sending their children into our world. Lu Yuhan was too excited. He felt like he was about to fly ¨C a behemoth is about to bestow him their children. He can be finally be strong enough to take anyone down! However, a black light flashed in his face, and his portal dissipated instantly. ¡°Puff!¡± CH 92 Chapter 92: Divine Beast ¨C [Night Demon] A black light flashed in Lu Yuhan¡¯s face as well as Wei Feng. It seems like the black figure learnt a few tricks from Wei Feng ¨C it was screening the beast masters. It was choosing whoever is stronger! As a result, the portal that Lu Yuhan maintained with his blood, sweat, and tears dispelled immediately. ¡°Puff!¡± Lu Yuhan spat a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unconscious. Wei Feng was attacked too, but his portal remained opened. After all, all the black figure wanted to do was choose which portal was stronger ¨C it did not intend to completely dispel the portals. However, this still made Wei Feng uncomfortable. After a portal is opened, it is maintained by the beast master¡¯s own energy, so a hit to the portal is a hit to the beast master. When his portal got attacked, he felt that his chest was dull, like he had been punched heavily. This made Wei Feng sigh. This was karma for kicking those beasts back into the portal. ¡°Buzz!¡± His portal trembled slightly, and he looked at it in surprise. A little guy shrouded in black mist stood on the edge of the portal. It¡¯s body was like a human, but it was more slender, with short black hair and pointed ears on its side. Aside from its ears, it was no different from a human being. Minus the pair of dark red eyes, sending shivers into Wei Feng¡¯s spine. The portal shrank, and turned into a symbol, embedding itself onto its forehead. The little guy then said, ¡°Master.¡± Wei Feng: ! He knows human language! Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Night Demon].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Hide], derived from [Night Demon].] ¡­ A Night Demon! This little guy is a demon! Earlier today, the Scarlet Flood Dragon told Wei Feng about the four ancient beasts. So, altogether, the Scarlet Flood Dragon, the Beast of Light, the Blood Tiger, and now, the Night Demon¡­ That means he has all the beasts that have the ancient bloodline of the four Divine beasts! Originally, Wei Feng wanted to summon in the morning, but the Scarlet Flood Dragon advised to summon at night, since the Night Demon is more active at night. He didn¡¯t expect that the Night Demon would appear at his first summoning. He peered into its attribute panel. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Night Demon (Divine Beast) Level: Level 4 Ascended Attributes: Dark ¨C Overcast Strength: 830 Ascended Power Agility: 1230 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 830 Ascended Power Bloodline: The Divine Beast bloodline doubles all attributes, and an additional 50% growth in attributes will be granted for each level up.

Hidden Abilities: [Negative Dark] has not been activated. ¡­ Wei Feng was surprised at how strong this little demon was. He guesses it was because of the Divine Beast bloodline. His three other beasts sharing the Divine Beast bloodline had attributes of the same value, but his Night Demon¡¯s agility was stronger. Looking at his cool appearance, then looking at his other Ascended Beasts hanging out by the bonfire, Wei Feng had an idea. ¡°Let¡¯s do a sneak attack on that, and see who brings down more beasts, how about that?¡± Wei Feng pointed at the group. The Night Demon¡¯s eyes shone and nodded, ¡°Is there a reward?¡± ¡°Ah.¡± He was stunned, but said, ¡°What reward do you want?¡± The Night Demon smiled, ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it yet! You owe me!¡± Wei Feng laughed, ¡°Are you that confident you can beat me?¡± He nodded, ¡°Even if Master has [Hide], you can¡¯t beat me, especially in terms of stealth!¡± ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s start now,¡± Wei Feng announced. ¡°Alright.¡± The Night Demon nodded. Lilith silently smiled by the bonfire, and couldn¡¯t help but silently mourn for the beasts who have no idea what was about to hit them. Earlier in the afternoon, these little guys suffered enough, now they have to suffer this. ¡°Hide!¡± With a whisper, Wei Feng used [Hide], and his whole body was immediately shrouded in darkness. Wei Feng was glad ¨C the ability hid his breath as well. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t wait to scare his beasts a little. However, when he looked back, Wei Feng found that the Night Demon was still standing and didn¡¯t move. He ignored him, and approached the bonfire. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± The Beast of Light sniffed the air, ¡°I sense the Night Demon!¡± In the planes, light beasts and night demons are enemies. It was natural. ¡°What?!¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon swam in the air and sniffed it, ¡°It really is!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wei Feng suddenly shouted, removing his stealth, and grabbed the Scarlet Flood Dragon in the air. ¡°Master, you-¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon was startled and bolted into the air. At this moment, they were distracted by Wei Feng, and the Night Demon moved. With a flash of black light, the Night Demon appeared behind the Beast of Light, and pushed it. ¡°Oh my god!¡± The Beast of Light screamed as it was pushed into the fire. ¡°Bang!¡± The next was Ling Wu ¨C it was innocently eating grilled fish. Now, the grilled fish was gone, and Ling Wu was knocked into the distance. Ling Wu slammed into the same tree, and slid down in the same manner. ¡°No!¡± ¡°My grilled fish!¡± ¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Someone is attacking me!¡± CH 93 Chapter 93: Don¡¯t Judge a Book by Its Cover It was chaos around the bonfire. The Night Demon was too strong, and several unsuspecting beasts were knocked down in an instant. ¡°Boom!¡± The Beast of Light leapt out the fire, blinding the surrounding area with dazzling light. ¡°It really is the Night Demon! How dare you push me into the fire ¨C I¡¯ll end you!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± A dark shadow swept past the Beast of Light, and it was immediately sent into the fire again. ¡°Roar!¡± Red light flickered, and the Blood Tiger swooped in and pounced at the Night Demon. ¡°Whoosh!¡± With another flash, the Night Demon phased behind the Blood Tiger, and kicked the Blood Tiger¡¯s butt with a bang. Blood Tiger: ! ¡°Pfft!¡± The Beast of Light crawled out of the bonfire, only to be smashed back in by the Blood Tiger. Wei Feng: ¡­ Scarlet Flood Dragon: ¡­ How can the Night Demon be so powerful? Wei Feng was a little dumbfounded. Even if they were all teaming up, they could not beat the Night Demon. If this was a real fight, then the little beasts would be dead by now. ¡°Master, the Night Demon is of another realm than us¡­¡± the Scarlet Flood Dragon whined. The Night Demon smiled, ¡°Master, seems like you lost.¡± ¡­ Half an hour later. The bonfire was put out, and the Night Demon hid itself in the shadows. It doesn¡¯t seem to like fire or light. The Blood Tiger licked its paws, eyes affixed onto the Night Demon¡¯s hiding spot. The Beast of Light laid next to the Blood Tiger as well. The Scarlet Flood Dragon rested itself on Wei Feng¡¯s shoulders, telling him the characteristics of a Night Demon. Night Demons are asexual. The way they reproduce is via inheriting abilities ¨C older demons pass on their abilities onto younger demons, which is their exclusive abilities. This is the strength of the Night Demon bloodline. When a new Night Demon is born, the old one dies, and the baby Demon will be taken care of by a Guardian Demon known as [Ye Lan]. Hence, in the other plane, you will never see two Night Demons at the same time. Not to mention, the Night Demons inherit the Divine Beast bloodline! After listening to the Scarlet Flood Dragon¡¯s explanation, Wei Feng glanced at the Night Demon. He felt that it was powerful, but lonely. It made him feel a little bad. ¡°Here you go!¡± Wei Feng got up and picked up a grilled fish skewer and handed it to the Night Demon. ¡°Thank you, master.¡± It took it and immediately bit into the skewer. Wei Feng leaned against the rock and commended, ¡°You did great today ¨C how about we join forces and attack them once again?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± The Night Demon nodded. ¡°Hold it!¡± The Beast of Light leapt onto the stone and announced, ¡°Last time, I was unprepared! But behold, you will not have luck on your side anymore!¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± The Blood Tiger leapt onto the rock and agreed. ¡°You are only a level higher than me ¨C when I become a Level 4 Ascended Beast, you will lose regardless!¡± The Blood Tiger announced, and rested itself beside the Beast of Light. ¡°Why do I have the feeling that a certain beast is unable to admit defeat?¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon joked, swimming circles in the air. It materialised a cloud and rested on it lazily. ¡°You can join them. I don¡¯t mind,¡± the Night Demon muttered. ¡°Ah, you-¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you be nicer?¡± Ling Wu rolled over angrily. ¡°You can beat up the three of them, but not me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t count me in, either. It¡¯s their business,¡± the Red Fox nodded. ¡°Not me too!¡± The Snow Wolf said, leaning on Wei Feng. ¡°This is a fight for Divine Beasts, I have no room to intervene!¡± ¡°I wanted to join in the fight, but I know my battles,¡± Xing Xie muttered, jumping into Wei Feng¡¯s arms. Wei Feng wanted to laugh. It seems like a lot of the beasts are scared of the Night Demon. ¡°Cough!¡± The Beast of Light let out a cough, and burst into white light, revealing the Night Demon. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if we fight, but we are a family now! Let¡¯s be nice to each other!¡± The Beast of Light announced. Lilith came over and leaned on Wei Feng. She thought that the beasts¡¯ bickering was cute. Ying, Dragon Ape, Thunder Bird, and the Wolf King came over too. ¡°Awoo!¡± ¡°Great to see that the younger generation are full of energy!¡± The Wolf King announced. The Night Demon was surrounded by everyone, and blinked its big eyes. Although it was strong, it was still young and a baby. All Night Demons inevitably feel lonely. In the other plane, the other three Divine Beasts think this is to limit the power of Night Demons. Because Night Demons aren¡¯t able to survive this loneliness. No matter how strong someone is, they are bound to have weaknesses ¨C and the glaring weakness of a Night Demon is loneliness. It isn¡¯t right to judge a book by its cover. ¡­ Early in the morning. Wei Feng opened his eyes, and he felt heavy. He quickly found out why. They talked late into the night and fell asleep while laying on the giant rock. The group of baby beasts were lying on his chest; his right arm was held closely by Lilith; his left foot numb due to the Wolf King sleeping on it. ¡°Oh dear!¡± Lilith woke up and released Wei Feng¡¯s eyes, then quickly tried moving the baby beasts away. Wei Feng saw a funny scene unfold. The Night Demon helplessly laid on the rock ¨C the Beast of Light and Blood Tiger clung onto it to sleep; one of the Beast of Light¡¯s hooves were stuck on the Night Demon¡¯s chest! ¡°Lilith, look!¡± Wei Feng asked Lilith to look, and she couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. To their surprise, the Night Demon didn¡¯t bother moving the Beast of Light¡¯s hoof and remained motionless. It was touch starved. And it had a lot of trust. The light that the Beast of Light emitted not only illuminated the Night Demon¡¯s hiding spot, but also illuminated its heart. CH 94 Chapter 94: A Full Line-up of Beasts! ¡°Whirr!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao had sent another helicopter to deliver supplies to Wei Feng. It was a large 50¡Á50 box, which contains various items. This time, there was a lot of fruit included in the supplies ¨C Wei Feng had specially requested for them. After eating dinner, Wei Feng was ready to enter the centre of Freedom Mountains. A prompt suddenly sounded in his brain. Ding! [NOTICE: Complete Mission #2: [Return of the Ascended Beasts] ¨C Promote the ten-point star array, so that the Ascended Beasts can cross into this world again.] [Mission Requirements Met ¨C Let 10000 People Summon Ascended Beasts.] [Rewards: Level 7 Ascended Beast Black Tortoise Egg, +50000 Forbidden Energy] ¡­ His plan worked. His mission was completed in just two days. Energy condensed into an azure egg into Wei Feng¡¯s hands. This is a Level 7 Ascended Beast egg¡­ This Black Tortoise ¨C in Wei Feng¡¯s memory, it was part of the Divine Beast bloodline as well. However, it does not belong to any world ¨C not this world, not the other plane either. ¡°Crack!¡± Wei Feng held the egg for just a moment, and it cracked. The group of baby beasts quickly gathered around him. ¡°Master¡­ the energy in this egg is strange!¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon said. ¡°Really? It seems familiar!¡± The Blood Tiger said. ¡°Crack!¡± The eggshell shattered, and blue light emitted from the egg, like water. Crack! Crack! A head full of scales unburied itself from the egg and swallowed the entire eggshell. Wei Feng quickly sat down and drew a summoning symbol for the Black Tortoise. Ascended Beasts that hatch from eggs must undergo a summoning contract before they can become royal beasts. The group of baby beasts gathered in a circle, watching the tortoise devour the eggshell. As it devoured the eggshell, something peculiar happened. Azure water rippled, and one symbol after another, branded itself onto its tortoise shell. ¡°Hiss!¡± Suddenly, a snake head slithered out and devoured the eggshell as well. Legend has it that the Black Tortoise has two heads ¨C a regular tortoise head, and a snake head. Wei Feng heard about it in stories as well. ¡°Buzz!¡± Wei Feng branded the summoning symbol onto the Black Tortoise. The summoning symbols branded themselves onto both heads. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Black Tortoise]!] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Ultimate Defence], deriving from the Black Tortoise.] ¡­ Wei Feng found that his attributes has skyrocketed once again. He peered into the Black Tortoise¡¯s attribute panel. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Black Tortoise (Ancient Divine Beast) Level: Level 7 Ascended Beast Attribute: Water Strength: 1540 Ascended Power Agility: 1020 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 1630 Ascended Power Ancient Bloodline: Level up to gain additional bonus attributes. Exclusive Ability: [Guardian] ¨C Transfer the damage of a target to the Black Tortoise instead. Core Abilities: [Ultimate Defence] ¨C The Black Tortoise can withstand damage equal to twice his strength value. [Water Shield] ¨C Condenses the water in the air to form a shield. [Water Curtain] has not been activated. [Reduction] has not been activated. [Water Spirit] has not been activated. [Overlapping Curtains] has not been activated. [End Times ¨C Shape of Water] has not been activated. Hidden Ability: [The Four Ancient Beasts ¨C Black Tortoise] has not been activated. ¡­ The Black Tortoise was born at Level 7 Ascended rank! This made Wei Feng sigh. It was slightly unfair. The Black Tortoise was born at a level that many cannot reach. This is the Black Tortoise¡¯s nature. Now that another Divine Beast has joined the party, Wei Feng¡¯s royal beast line-up has begun to steer towards to Divine Beasts. At this point, it can¡¯t be luck. He had obtained 50,000 additional Forbidden Energy from completing his quest, and now that he has obtained the Night Demon and Black Tortoise, his total Forbidden Energy is now 61,269. Wei Feng didn¡¯t plan to spend it ¨C he wanted to save 100,000 Forbidden Energy so he can unlock the more luxurious products in the store. The two Ascended Beast armaments were given to Ying and Dragon Ape. He trusts them to defend Red Maple well. Ever since [Scarlet Wind] blew and made them an Ascended Beast, the Dragon Ape and Ying have worked extra hard to push themselves further. Now that Wei Feng can summon Ascended Beasts, they feel pressured to do better. Soon, Wei Feng and Lilith took the group of baby beasts to enter the centre of Freedom Mountains. This is the first time Wei Feng has entered the centre ever since the first accident. The lake in the belly of the mountain doubled in size. On the edge of the lake, some crocodiles laid in shallow water lazily. Most of these crocodiles were over five metres long, but they are only Level 9, which is weak. Along the south side of the lake, Wei Feng led the beasts into a dense forest. The jungle was incredibly dense ¨C the trees were thick with leaves, blocking out the sun. It wasn¡¯t like this before. This was all thanks to [Scarlet Wind]. Whoosh! Whoosh! ¡­ Not long after, Wei Feng encountered a group of coyotes. There were about 40 of them, 6 of which were Ascended coyotes. The rest were Level 9 and Level 10 coyotes. They are quite a challenge. ¡°Roar!¡± The Blood Tiger let out a roar. ¡°Time to hunt!¡± The Snow Wolf howled. ¡­ The group of baby beasts rushed forward. Wei Feng stood still to witness the scene. The Blood Tiger and the Night Demon rushed into battle immediately, and charge directly at the Ascended coyotes. Soon, chaos erupted within the jungle. A brave Level 10 coyote pounced towards Wei Feng, but was taken down by a single slap. Wei Feng let Ling Wu and Red Fox follow the Beast of Light and Scarlet Flood Dragon. With their supportive abilities, they can assist the other beasts rather than fend alone. The group of baby beasts played with their food, and the battle lasted for half an hour. It was already noon ¨C Wei Feng set up a bonfire to roast the coyotes. Coyote meat was delicious when grilled. Moreover, Ascended coyotes contained a lot of energy to fund [Energy of Flesh and Blood]. This was beneficial to both Wei Feng and the beasts. Especially Xing Xie ¨C its ability was similar to [Energy of Flesh and Blood]. ¡­ After feasting on coyote meat, Wei Feng hit 11% on Energy of Flesh and Blood. Later in the afternoon, Wei Feng took the group through the dense forest for an hour, and they encountered a mountain road with many tall rocks. In the distance, mountains and trees stood tall, forming Freedom Mountains. The entire Freedom Mountains spans nearly a thousand miles from east to west, and they are now entering the centre of Freedom Mountains. ¡°Caw!¡± A bird similar to Thunder Bird flapped its wing, clasping an iguana in its talons. Electricity crackled in the air as it landed on a branch. ¡°Roar!¡± A roar of a tiger sounded, striking fear in everyone¡¯s heart. The entire Freedom Mountains were wild with beasts. The mountains towered over them; the trees haunted over them; the clouds shrouded the sun; birds in the sky sneered fiercely; beasts were roaring. Wei Feng smiled. This was a completely new experience. The group of baby beasts were also filled with excitement, and let out cheerful sounds. ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s start our journey!¡± Wei Feng then stretched out his hand to pull Lilith to his side gently. He pointed at the mountain and grinned. CH 95 Chapter 95: Misunderstanding Ever since [Scarlet Wind] blew, adventurers from major cities embarked on a journey to explore the Freedom Mountains range. Isn¡¯t it terrifying that a mere wind is able to make every creature in the world level up by 1? And this wind originated from the centre of Freedom Mountains. This was a great opportunity. ¡­ Adventurers from Yancheng, Haicheng, and Luocheng ¨C all cities close to Freedom Mountains ¨C have arrived at Freedom Mountains. Because of the Scarlet Wind, some people wanted to discover the origin of it at the centre of Freedom Mountains. And after they have obtained the ten-point star array and summoning Ascended Beasts, the elite families became confident and journeyed to the Freedom Mountains Range, wanting to get a piece of the pie as well. Wei Feng entered the Freedom Mountain Range from the north and has been trekking for two days. In the past two days, they have fought more than a dozen times and gained a lot. The baby beasts were inherently wild, and they grew rapidly. Ding! [NOTICE: Your [Blood Tiger] has been upgraded to Level 4 Ascended.] ¡­ After two days of hard work, the Blood Tiger and Scarlet Flood Dragon caught up in levels and reached Level 4 Ascended. In addition, Xing Xie grew rapidly, and became Level 2 Ascended. Evening came. Wei Feng took the beasts to prepare dinner in a clearing. Lilith and Red Fox washed the picked fruits by a lake not far away. The smell of meat wafted through the air. In the bushes, a silhouette of a beast flashed from time to time. In the wild, light and food attracts many wild beasts. This was Wei Feng¡¯s plan all along ¨C dinner was insufficient today, and they needed to lure a beast in. ¡°Roar!¡± An unknowing lion beast rushed to them and pounced at Wei Feng, who had his back turned to it. ¡°Bang!¡± Red light flashed, and the beast was decapitated immediately. It didn¡¯t even have time to roar in pain. ¡°Next time, let me deal with the trouble. It got too close to master!¡± The Night Demon argued. The Scarlet Flood Dragon, the Beast of Light, and the other beasts walked out from behind the big tree, and commented on how the Blood Tiger just levelled up. Wei Feng deliberately let the beasts hide to fool the other creatures into a false sense of unguarded prey. Even though they are infant beasts, they were strong. Even Ascended Beasts fear their presence. Ten minutes later, the lion was cleaned and roasted. Lilith and Red Fox went to wash another two baskets of fruits, and the beasts enjoyed it. ¡°Master, don¡¯t you think this is great?¡± Lilith asked, sitting next to Wei Feng. They watched the little beasts bicker among themselves. In the past two days, the Night Demon integrated into the family, and strangely enough, was close to the Beast of Light and the Blood Tiger. Night soon fell. The flowers emitted soft light, illuminating the clearing. Groups of fireflies scurried around, humming in their ears. The Freedom Mountains was beautiful. However, some creatures moved at night. Security doesn¡¯t exist¡­ ¡­unless you¡¯re strong enough! ¡°Help!¡± ¡°Father, look out! There¡¯s fire ahead!¡± ¡°My sisters, hurry up! It¡¯s safer over there.¡± Several voices could be heard. Wei Feng¡¯s hearing was sharp ¨C he could hear their voices, even if they were far away. Five minutes later, he could hear them gasp. Looking up, four figures could be seen 300 metres away, and were running towards them. There were many beasts surrounding the clearing where Wei Feng resided, but they didn¡¯t dare to approach it. That doesn¡¯t mean that they were not afraid to attack other bystanders. The four were attacked. Wei Feng saw a troll fall, and the four people fled. When they approached Wei Feng¡¯s clearing, they found that the creatures stopped chasing them. Among the four were two young men and a middle-aged woman and a girl. ¡°Dad, look! It¡¯s safe here,¡± the young man piped up. ¡°Wait!¡± The girl ran up front, ¡°Hold up! There may be a trap set here!¡± One of the men said, ¡°There may be a very strong beast here. Watch out.¡± ¡°Look!¡± The girl exclaimed and pointed at the bonfire. ¡°Beasts dare not to approach this area. It¡¯s about 200 metres away from here, so whoever is at the bonfire must be really strong. Let¡¯s be wary,¡± the man reminded. The other man complained, ¡°In other words, we aren¡¯t safe at all.¡± The man frowned, ¡°I pray we are.¡± ¡­ The lion beast was roasted to perfection ¨C Wei Feng divided the meat among the little beasts ¨C they seemed hungry. The four figures sneaked over. Wei Feng wanted to laugh. He didn¡¯t expect to meet someone he knew. Back in Mount Soft Gold, he met and saved a family. Later on, in the city, he met the family once again, and the girl wanted to square up with him. The man stepped forward, but he did not recognise Wei Feng, ¡°My brother! If you don¡¯t mind, the four of us needs to stay here for a night. It is alright if you refuse.¡± Wei Feng smiled, ¡°There¡¯s no trouble. I don¡¯t own this land anyways. It is free land.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± The man was overjoyed! He didn¡¯t expect someone as powerful as Wei Feng to be so kind. He started a bonfire not far away and started to cook. The girl helped him out, while the two young men made a tent. Wei Feng could sense that the girl kept looking at him. He could hear her whisper, ¡°Dad, is he selling the cubs of royal beasts? They are so cute!¡± The man simply replied, ¡°You can never mind your own business. Whatever.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± The girl snorted, and continued, ¡°You¡¯re too grumpy! Those cubs are too cute! Dad, can I buy one? Just one? Please?¡± The man shook his head, ¡°Go ahead and try. If he wants to sell one, then you can buy it.¡± ¡°Thanks dad!¡± The girl smiled. But the man reminded her, ¡°But if he doesn¡¯t sell it, or it¡¯s too expensive, hurry back to me. Don¡¯t make a fuss.¡± ¡°Got it, dad.¡± Unknowing to him, his words fell on deaf ears. She stepped forward and ran towards Wei Feng. CH 96 Chapter 96: Buy 1, Free 1 Wei Feng and Lilith looked at each other and could only smile helplessly. This girl misunderstood them as royal beast merchants, and intends to become the embodiment of justice to ¡°free¡± these little cubs. The girl strutted over and swept over the tiny beasts one by one, and shock swept across her eyes. She has never seen these beasts before! Especially that tortoise that had a head of a snake and a tortoise. And that little red snake could swim in the air! ¡°Oh, I¡­¡± The girl¡¯s eyes darted between the beast and nervously asked, ¡°Are you selling these?¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ She¡¯s very direct, he¡¯ll give him that. She didn¡¯t even begin small talk ¨C she just asked! Wei Feng felt this was interesting, and lightly kicked the Beast of Light, ¡°Hey! Listen up! These people want to buy you!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s action made the young man angry, and he criticized Wei Feng, ¡°How could you treat young beasts in this manner? I¡¯ll buy him, so you can never touch him again!¡± The Beast of Light was shocked. It straightened its belly and patted its stomach, ¡°My lady, do you want to buy me and save me? Please do! You¡¯ll save me from a sea of misery!¡± ¡°You- you¡­ you can talk!¡± The girl shouted. Beasts who can talk are generally above Level 9, which is common knowledge. But the beast in front of her was a child, but it has already hit Level 9 or above! The girl was dumbfounded. In their family, her second brother was the strongest, having a Level 7 Troll ¨C after Scarlet Wind, their troll became Level 8. She has a Level 6 Horned Lion and a Level 4 Ghost Wolf. This means that¡­ It means that their family¡¯s most powerful beasts aren¡¯t as strong as this baby beast! ¡°No, impossible! How is it possible that you can understand human language when you¡¯re just a baby!¡± The girl shouted. The Night Demon leaned against a rock and muttered, ¡°Young lady, this beast is cute, but useless. Consider buying me instead!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Lilith: ¡­ Looks like the Night Demon wanted to join in on the fun. Loneliness overtook it, so it wanted to have some fun. ¡°You can speak too?!¡± The girl looked at Night Demon with fear. At this time, the Scarlet Flood Dragon was lying lazily on a cloud and floated in front of the girl. It then snapped its fingers, letting rain fall from the tiny cloud, ¡°Young lady, buy me instead! If you buy me, you can get the Blood Tiger too!¡± The girl: ¡­ The Blood Tiger roared, ¡°I¡¯ll tear that cloud apart! Watch your mouth!¡± The girl: ! The Snow Wolf noticed something, and reminded the other beasts, ¡°Guys, wait, this girl seems petrified¡­¡± Ling Wu: ¡°Wait! She¡¯s not responding anymore!¡± The girl: ¡­ Xing Xie: ¡°Tears are coming out of her eyes!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng looked at the girl and tears rolled down from her eyes. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± The girl quickly turned around and dashed back to her family. The group of beasts were taken aback, thinking they took it too far. This made the family think that she was bullied, and rushed to Wei Feng with weapons. The girl held them back and explained, and the man came to apologize instead. Wei Feng didn¡¯t mind at all. Being able to meet them again was fateful. And they made his boring night entertaining. Early in the morning. Wei Feng and Lilith packed their things, and left with the group of little beasts. The man saw them leave, and woke the two young men up to leave. Five kilometres west of Wei Feng, a camp was packing up and prepared to leave as well. There were only young people in this camp, about 20 of them, and they all had beasts. Most of their beasts were young cubs as well. This team was from Haicheng ¨C all of the representatives of the elite families of Haicheng were there. Some notable names were Nangong Yun, Lu Yuhan, Wang Jiahao, Zhang Xiyao¡­ The Scarlet Wind made the major families confident. This expedition was organised by the major families to unite the families. The elders of the families agreed that the younger generation should experience danger together so that they may form a closer bond. They also secretly planned to let them cultivate their feelings for each other. ¡­ Wei Feng passed under a big mountain and walked towards the south west direction, and soon, he would meet Zhang Xiyao. ¡°Caw!¡± A bird similar to Thunder Bird cawed in the air ¨C Wei Feng thought it was his own Thunder Bird. The Scarlet Flood Dragon muttered, ¡°Too bad it¡¯s a male bird. Our brother Thunder Bird would love a companion.¡± Wei Feng was taken aback. They were all badly influenced by the Wolf King. When he gets back, he¡¯s going to teach him a lesson. ¡°Kill it. That¡¯s our lunch today,¡± Wei Feng said. It was an Ascended Thunder Bird. His [Energy of Flesh and Blood] has reached 98% ¨C just a bit more, and it will be 100%. If he activates it, he¡¯ll gain around 100 or 200 Ascended Power. ¡°Boom!¡± Electricity burst in the air. Unknowingly to the Thunder Bird, the Scarlet Flood Dragon and Xing Xie could control electricity and lightning as well. The Thunder Bird never knew that its demise would be electricity itself. ¡­ ¡°Wei Feng!¡± ¡°Is that you?¡± A familiar voice sounded ¨C the electricity crackling in the air was so loud that he couldn¡¯t hear them approaching. He saw Zhang Xiyao, Wang Jiahao, and a group of young men and women appeared in his sight. ¡°Xiyao, it¡¯s you!¡± Lilith waved her hand frantically. Zhang Xiyao walked towards them swiftly, and the group also approached them, making Wei Feng frown. He could see two cubs, and their aura was similar to his Snow Wolf. He also saw Lu Yuhan who was muttering things to a man beside him, and pointed at him from time to time. CH 97 Chapter 97: Holy Light Wei Feng could feel anger radiating from Lu Yuhan. There is no way that Lu Yuhan was praising Wei Feng. Zhang Xiyao had a great chat with Lilith like good sisters. Wang Jiahao¡¯s eyes darted from Wei Feng to his beasts, and said in disbelief, ¡°Wei Feng, things changed, huh?¡± He thought Wei Feng was a royal beast merchant as well. After all, an ordinary person is incapable of summoning that many Ascended Beasts. ¡°I¡¯m just bringing them out to experience what Freedom Mountains is like,¡± Wei Feng smiled. ¡°Wei Feng.¡± Sure enough, Wei Feng¡¯s trouble approached. Lu Yuhan stepped forward with the man he was talking to. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wei Feng asked, smiling. ¡°I¡¯m Nangong Yun, you must have heard of me,¡± the man said confidently. ¡°I have never heard of you,¡± Wei Feng said honestly. Wang Jiahao chuckled, ¡°Wait, what¡¯s going on? Wei Feng is my good friend, don¡¯t treat him like this.¡± ¡°Wang Jiahao, step aside. This has nothing to do with you,¡± Nangong Yun ordered. ¡°You must be Ascended now. Since everyone here is a tabooist, you must follow the rules.¡± ¡°Rules?¡± Wei Feng was a little puzzled. Wang Jiahao whispered, ¡°The last time you made a scene in Yancheng, your identity as a tabooist was exposed.¡± Wei Feng looked at him in surprise. He didn¡¯t know that was what people thought of him. However, judging from his actions, it was natural that they thought he was a tabooist. All right then! I guess I¡¯m a tabooist now! Wei Feng thought to himself. ¡°So, tell me! What are the rules that a tabooist must follow? You should know, I¡¯m from a small city, so I don¡¯t know the customs from those living in a big city!¡± ¡°Ah,¡± He chuckled, ¡°Simple. Whoever is strongest has the final say.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wei Feng nodded. For an arrogant guy like Nangong Yun, fists are the easiest answer. ¡°Wei Feng, the rules aren¡¯t that simple!¡± Lu Yuhan stepped forward, and stared at the Scarlet Flood Dragon, ¡°If you lose, then your little beasts belong to us.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng wanted to laugh. He bluntly replied, ¡°So, you take a fancy in my Ascended Beasts.¡± The group also has their own batch of Ascended Beasts, so it is not a surprise that they recognise the Scarlet Flood Dragon. ¡°You¡¯re sensible,¡± Lu Yuhan sarcastically replied. ¡°Well, it¡¯s on. If I lose, then these beasts belong to you,¡± Wei Feng smiled. ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡± Nangong Yun quickly agreed. He even asked Wang Jiahao to be the referee. Nangong Yun wanted to challenge Wei Feng because his own Ascended Beast Cub could recognise the Beast of Light and Scarlet Flood Dragon. Two Divine Beasts! No matter how Wei Feng obtained them, if he won, he would get them. ¡°You, you go first.¡± He then pushed a young man beside him to fight for him, then pointed at the Beast of Light, ¡°Alright, you will fight this beast.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Wei Feng nodded at the Beast of Light. The Beast of Light slapped its belly and walked forward. No one could predict that this little beast would have 820 Ascended Power. Nangong Yun knew to be cautious, however. He slipped the young man a tiny bottle before the fight began, and whispered a few words to him. Wei Feng frowned. With his enhanced hearing, he could hear what Nangong Yun said to the young man. ¡°Take this medicine. It¡¯ll increase your Ascended Power by 500. Bring that beast to me, and I¡¯ll reward you with what you want.¡± ¡­ A medicine that increases 500 Ascended Power? Is the Federation this advanced? However, he knew that the medicine had adverse side effects, because Nangong Yun did not take the medicine himself. Whatever the side effects were, he would know soon. A light groan could be heard. The Black Tortoise spat out a blue light, blessing the Beast of Light. Wei Feng knew what it was ¨C the Black Tortoise used its exclusive ability [Guardian], so any damage taken by the Beast of Light is transferred to itself instead. ¡°Gulp!¡± The young man quickly swallowed the medicine and roared ¨C his body contorted wildly; his right arm twisted and swelled rapidly. This medicine was¡­ Wei Feng flinched watching his muscles contort in pain. The young man¡¯s eyes were red with fury, and rushed towards the Beast of Light. The Beast of Light¡¯s body was somewhat large ¨C half a metre high and more than a metre long. It burst into holy light and activated its core ability [Holy Light]. ¡°Boom!¡± Holy light blasted from the sky, and smited the young man. ¡°Boom!¡± The young man sank to the ground, bones broken. The young man sank two metres into the ground from the impact. Even if it took the medicine, it wasn¡¯t enough. Under [Holy Light], the young man received his judgment, and died. Wei Feng smiled, ¡°Forgot to mention ¨C if you win, you get my beasts, but if I win, I take your life.¡± Nangong Yun¡¯s face fell. He didn¡¯t expect death. Wei Feng was too ruthless. However, Nangong Yun didn¡¯t give up ¨C in fact, he became greedy with lust for the Beast of Light. Such a powerful beast must be his! ¡°Then, let me fight you!¡± He stepped forward, bravado coursing through him. Zhang Xiyao grabbed Wei Feng¡¯s arm and whispered, ¡°Wei Feng, he¡¯s the eldest son of the Haicheng family¡­ he¡¯s the direct descendant of the Nangong family, please!¡± ¡°Cool.¡± Wei Feng didn¡¯t care. Perhaps for Zhang Xiyao and the others, his identity was important ¨C but it didn¡¯t matter to Wei Feng. He picked a fight with Wei Feng after all, so he needs a taste of his own medicine. However, Wei Feng felt something was amiss ¨C as the direct descendant of the Nangong family, why is he making such a hasty decision? He seemed crazed with lust as well. Wei Feng used [Abyss Peek] to peer into Nangong Yun. Scarlet Wind also upgraded [Abyss Peek], and it has become an S-Tier Forbidden Item. The number of probes and what he can probe has significantly improved. CH 98 Chapter 98: Tabooists¡¯ Weaknesses [Exploration Panel] Target: Human Level: Level 1 Ascended Strength: 349 Ascended Power Agility: 335 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 330 Ascended Power Status: Chaotic, Manic, Hungry Forbidden Items: S-Tier [Gluttony Fang] ¨C Units swallowed: 57 Derived Ability: [Forced Devour] ¨C Forcefully devour any creature who has lower Spirit Power than you, and obtain all their attributes and memories. ¡­ Wei Feng finally understood why Nangong Yun seemed crazed. It was his natural state as a tabooist! When a tabooist devours Ascended Beasts, they gain their power, as well as their memories and consciousness. No normal human is able to withstand that many memories clogging their brain, hence, they will go mad. This was unavoidable. Boom! Nangong Yun pounced forward, and the Beast of Light cast [Holy Light] once again to smite him to the ground. However, he was unphased ¨C he crawled up from the ground; eyes imbued with scarlet lust while chewing something in his mouth. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± ¡°You will be mine!¡± Boom! He rushed madly towards the Beast of Light, but collided with a large blue shield. The Black Tortoise casted a large shield to protect the Beast of Light! Nangong Yun¡¯s attributes have already reached more than 800 Ascended Power¡­ ¡°He¡¯s¡­ he¡¯s gone mad! Help!¡± The group of people behind him shouted in horror, and some of them even turned back to flee. ¡°How many Ascended Beasts did he devour?!¡± Zhang Xiyao exclaimed. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so hungry!¡± Nangong Yun bellowed. It seemed like he was in extreme pain, and his hands kept tearing at his own body. Zhang Xiyao and Lilith turned around, unable to witness the scene. Wei Feng watched as his muscles teared off his skin ¨C there was no blood, instead, black hair grew rapidly. ¡°Huh¡­?¡± ¡°Wait, no! Save me! Roar! Help!¡± Nangong Yun regained some of his consciousness for a brief moment, but unfortunately, fell back into a state of madness and delusion. He couldn¡¯t control himself after taking that drug anymore. ¡°I¡¯m so hungry! I want to eat!¡± He was unable to reach the Beast of Light ¨C he twisted his head and glared at his former companions with a crazed hunger. ¡°I¡¯m hungry!¡± Nangong Yun pounced at Lu Yuhan. ¡°Help me!¡± ¡°Ack! Help! Help! Help! Please help!¡± ¡°No! Help!¡± Lu Yuhan¡¯s shrill screams erupted in the forest ¨C he was pinned down by Nangong Yun; flesh and blood flew in the air as Nangong Yun started to devour him, and gore was present in the scene. Zhang Xiyao¡¯s face turned pale. Some of his former companions fell to the ground, unable to move in fear. ¡°We need to run!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t!¡± ¡°He¡¯s become a beast, please, run!¡± They were unable to run. Their legs were like noodles, petrified with fear. Humans are no longer arrogant when in the face of danger. An Ascended Beast cub sacrificed itself trying to protect its master ¨C its body instantly devoured by Nangong Yun. His attributes increased exponentially with each devour, and his body grew rapidly and unnaturally. Black hair¡­ scarlet scales¡­ Nangong Yun was no longer human, but a beast. It all happened too quick. Wei Feng stepped forward and ordered, ¡°Stand back! The Night Demon and I will kill him!¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The Night Demon quickly trailed behind Wei Feng. It was about 1.2 metres tall. Childlike, but held great power in him. ¡°Nangong Yun, over here!¡± Wei Feng spoke, attracting his attention. At the same time, the Night Demon casted [Assault in the Night]. A dark rift spawned, and a creature shrouded in darkness pounced at Nangong Yun. However, [Assault in the Night] required the target to be stricken with fear, and Nangong Yun wasn¡¯t afraid. ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡­¡± His body did not move ¨C instead, his neck twisted 180 degrees and glared at Wei Feng with his scarlet slits. ¡°I¡¯m going to eat you!¡± He pounced at Wei Feng, muscles contorting wildly in the air. Wei Feng readied himself. His left hand surged with black magic. This was [Dark Explosion], obtained after [Dark Codex] reaches the Ascended level. The damage of [Dark Explosion] is determined by Spirit Power, and there is a chance of annihilating the target¡¯s brain domain. His right hand was then shrouded in bright, dazzling light. It gently enveloped his hand perfectly. This was the Beast of Light¡¯s [Holy Transformation]. His arm was fit snugly with a radiant glove, and rushed forward. ¡°Boom!¡± Although Nangong Yun¡¯s attributes exceeded one thousand Ascended Power, Wei Feng was stronger. Wei Feng slid forward, and using [Hunt], he could see Nangong Yun¡¯s weakness ¨C his heart, and he pushed himself forward and punched through Nangong Yun¡¯s chest. Holy light penetrated through his body, and his body flew upwards from the impact. Wei Feng continued his assault. He used [Float] to reach Nangong Yun, and using [Dark Explosion], he blasted him back to the ground. ¡°Boom!¡± With a single touch, Nangong Yun fell back down instantly. At this time, the Night Demon was in position. It conjured a dark, shadowy blade, and slashed in a straight line. Slash! Nangong Yun¡¯s body was sliced cleanly in half. It only took a couple of seconds. Wang Jiahao was dazed watching Wei Feng hover in the air. He could not believe his own eyes. ¡­ Wei Feng inspected Nangong Yun¡¯s lifeless body. There wasn¡¯t a single drop of blood, and his muscles were ash black and covered with a layer of mucus. It was a little disgusting, so Wei Feng left. There were three corpses, one of which belonged to Lu Yuhan. His corpse was mauled and bitten to shreds, and with what little remains of him, Wei Feng could see that there wasn¡¯t a trace of blood left after Nangong Yun sucked all the blood out of him. Wei Feng frowned. Tabooists rely on absorbing the blood of other creatures to increase their own strength¡­ does this mean that the blood in their body disappears? Like it¡¯s some sort of battery? Wei Feng could only come to this hypothesis. ¡°Master, are you alright?!¡± Lilith thought Wei Feng was injured when she saw Wei Feng frowning. ¡°I¡¯m okay. Let¡¯s get out of here. We know better than to come across other tabooists now,¡± he said, shaking his head. He realised something was amiss. Zhang Xiyao was looking at him, and she turned to leave. Wang Jiahao was a little flustered, ¡°We need to go. Nangong Yun died, so I need to return to Haicheng to report to them. I fear this may affect the alliances between the families badly.¡± ¡°Oh. I see.¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°We¡¯ll see what happens.¡± He didn¡¯t try to stop Zhang Xiyao from leaving. He didn¡¯t think it was worth it ¨C there was a spark before between them, but in the end, it fizzled out. After this incident, Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to mingle with other tabooists either. If an Ascended Beasts that they raise can be mercilessly absorbed, then they were no longer human to begin with. ¡­ Two hours later. They rested by a river. They caught some doves and roasted it over a bonfire ¨C the aroma of meat wafted in the air. The previous incident did not affect Wei Feng at all ¨C in fact, he and Lilith were happily mingling with the group of little beasts. Wei Feng was no longer fragile. He has seen too much, after all. His goal was clear now ¨C raise these little beasts and become stronger with them; build a secure home, a paradise of his own¡­ CH 99 Chapter 99: Hellfire Ants Twenty days later. Wei Feng¡¯s party has finally arrived at the centre of Freedom Mountains. Compared to the entire mountain range, the centre seems a bit barren. A big pit, like an abyss with a diameter of about seven or eight kilometres could be seen. The walls of the pit were lined with spheres, pulsing from time to time. This pit has obviously seen many battles ¨C trees in the surrounding area were damaged, and a large stone not far away was sliced in half cleanly. Flames and embers sparked around the pit. ¡°What are those little spheres?¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon asked. ¡°Look! It¡¯s about to hatch!¡± The Snow Wolf pointed out. Wei Feng quickly used [Abyss Peek]. [Exploration Panel] Target: Hellfire Ant Eggs Status: Incubating Energy: Unknown Description: ¨C ¡­ He couldn¡¯t probe any other information out of it. He peered down the big pit ¨C a scarlet crack could be seen, and red wisps of energy was constantly flowing out, absorbed by the eggs. ¡°Come on, we need to move.¡± ¡°Huh¡­?¡± Just when Wei Feng was about to explore, he could hear a faint whining not far away. Wei Feng turned his head, and could see a tortoise in a white robe. ¡°Master, look!¡± The Snow Wolf exclaimed. Wei Feng saw that they were surrounded by little red figures. Ants¡­! The scarlet ants were each half a metre long, and emitted red smoke in their eyes. He used [Abyss Peek] again. [Exploration Panel] Target: Hellfire Ants Strength: 500 Ascended Power Agility: 500 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 500 Ascended Power Energy: Unknown Description: Unknown ¡­ They didn¡¯t have any sort of level, and all their attributes were exactly five hundred. Wei Feng frowned, and darted between other Hellfire Ants. All of their properties were identical. Every little Hellfire Ant had 500 Ascended Power. ¡°How could this be?¡± Wei Feng muttered. ¡°You need to leave! Spread the news!¡± The turtle in the white robe shouted its last words before being devoured alive by the Hellfire Ants. Wei Feng looked around desperately. They were fully surrounded. By a sea of ants. Why couldn¡¯t he detect them earlier when he entered the area? Were they hiding? ¡°Hiss!¡± A hissing sound could be heard, and an extraordinarily tall Hellfire Ant skittered around. Wei Feng used [Abyss Peek] again. This big ant has attributes of 1500 Ascended Power¡­ Three times more than the little ants! Hiss! Hiss! ¡­ Giant ants started to crawl towards them. ¡°We need to leave!¡± Seeing the ants¡¯ approach, Wei Feng was struck with fear. He didn¡¯t want to die like this. He unsummoned all his beasts and merged with Lilith, and quickly took off. He flew to flee the area, but a scarlet ray shot out, almost hitting Wei Feng. Whirr¡­ He could hear the flapping of wings. He looked down and almost lost control of his flight. These ants can fly! They had a pair of red wings that hum when they vibrate, akin to a fighter jet. Wei Feng turned around and zoomed out of the air. With [Float], coupled with Lilith¡¯s natural ability to fly, the group of Hellfire Ants were unable to catch up to him. Wei Feng had other plans in mind. He fears that he may have uncovered the conspiracy of that giant pit. Whatever is lying within that scarlet crack must have an ulterior motive, and it could bring an unimaginable disaster to this world. ¡­ When they came to the centre of Freedom Mountains, it took more than 20 days. Now they were flying back home, it only took three hours. Back in Red Maple, Wei Feng immediately unbound Red Maple from the Restricted Area. There wasn¡¯t any time to explain. Wei Feng ordered Ying to gather the demons. They needed to move as far as possible from Freedom Mountains. ¡°Boom!¡± When the final batch of demons left Freedom Mountains, the Mountains trembled. The mountains fell over one by one, and the earth shook violently. [Scarlet Wind] was but an omen, signifying that destruction has finally come. Wei Feng looked in the direction of Yancheng and flew over there hastily. He wanted to save Yancheng, especially Ling Xiaoxiao. Angel Mall. In the president¡¯s office, Ling Xiaoxiao received a notice from Wei Feng. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She noticed that her desk trembled slightly. ¡°Boom!¡± In an instant, Angel Mall came crashing down. A scarlet tentacle rose from the centre of Angel Mall. It was hundreds of metres tall, and swept across its surroundings. Buildings fell. Chaos erupted. There was no calling for help. Boom! Wei Feng broke through the city wall¡¯s defences instantly, and arrived at Angel Mall. Angel Mall was still collapsing. He saw a figure falling to the ground. Boom! Wei Feng broke the sound barrier, and caught Ling Xiaoxiao before she landed on the ground. Wei Feng brushed past the scarlet tentacle, and could see it was absorbing scarlet light. Wisps of energy condensed into the tentacle. ¡­ Boom! Wei Feng rose to the sky, and used [Abyss Peek]. [Exploration Panel] Target: Hell¡¯s Pulse Level: ¨C Strength: 13500 Ascended Power Agility: 4100 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 0 Energy: ¨C ¡­ From hell? What¡¯s going on? It also had a strength value of 13,500 Ascended Power! Wei Feng frowned, but in the next moment, he widened his eyes, and fled the scene. The tentacle was drawn to him. Boom! The tentacle narrowly missed Wei Feng, but the city below him was smashed into a deep pit. This is horrible¡­ Cold sweat broke out on Wei Feng¡¯s back. He was almost crushed by that tentacle. Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s face was pale, and hugged Wei Feng tightly, ¡°Wei Feng¡­ Yancheng is gone¡­¡± Wei Feng didn¡¯t answer him. He hovered over a safe area and looked at the ruins of the city. There were more scarlet tentacles destroying the city. In a matter of seconds, the city was reduced to rubble. Wei Feng understood the implications of [Scarlet Wind]. They were like calves getting fattened up before getting slaughtered. He frowned. CH 100 Chapter 100: Lord of the Abyss Yancheng has fallen. There were only a handful of people who managed to escape. The tentacles were too powerful. Soon, a sea of ants drowned Yancheng. He held Ling Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms, and flew with Ying. They went all the way north, and the entire journey took ten days. Wei Feng needed to find a safe and secure place to call home. In the end, they found a place called Sunset Plains, about two hundred miles away from Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains. Wei Feng settled his family down. The Sunset Plains was in a remote location ¨C 1400 miles from Haicheng to the north, an endless sea 900 miles to the east, and Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains to the south. Before choosing this place, Wei Feng scouted the area. The entire Sunset Plains was beautiful ¨C it was also easy to defend and difficult to attack. This would make a great place. Far from civilization, they will have time to develop quietly, and he could build his own paradise. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Ling Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief as Wei Feng released her. The little beasts immediately ran on the plain and played around, adding some life to this quiet plain. Ying instructed the Greater Demons to put down their supplies, and now, they began to organise. Wei Feng found a suitable place somewhere in the east of the plain and used [Crown of the Red Maple] again. The small tree grew rapidly into a gargantuan tree. Because [Crown of the Red Maple] has become an SS-Tier Forbidden Item, the range of his Restricted Area has also increased. Today, his Restricted Area covers a range of 40,000 yards. Wei Feng regarded the entirety of the plain as his, however. After he secured Red Maple, he needed to secure a water source. Wei Feng took this into consideration when releasing Red Maple by the east. There was a lake on the east side, and spreads out at least several dozen miles to the east. After Red Maple, the eastern borders just cover one corner of the lake. Wei Feng used some Forbidden Energy to reshape the terrain, letting water flow in. Crash! Water flowed in, and the ground was concave. Wei Feng was constantly changing the terrain to suit his needs. Along the borders of Red Maple, within 40,000 yards, there was a square ¨C the ground recessed ten metres deep and twenty metres wide. Water flowed to fill the depression, and hence, a natural moat was created. This process costed 3,000 Forbidden Energy. Evening came. A bonfire was raised next to Red Maple, and the aroma of meat wafted in the air. After ten days of travelling, Ling Xiaoxiao was tired, and fell asleep while laying on a blanket. Wei Feng pondered at the bonfire. No matter what is going on in the outside world now, he doesn¡¯t want to be involved in it. He just wants to build a home of his own. This way, the next time disaster strikes, he won¡¯t have to look around like a bereaved dog. A prompt suddenly sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: Abyss #4 has opened up, and demons are returning back to Earth.] [NOTICE: You have completed Mission #1 [Abyss Recovery] ¨C In the endless darkness, the seal of the abyss has been loosened.] [Requirements Completed: Release 10,000 Demons into the earth.] [Rewards: Obtain the title of [Lord of the Abyss], +100,000 Forbidden Energy.] [NOTICE: With the title, demons will no longer attack you, and you gain the ability to recruit demonic creatures.] ¡­ Wei Feng sighed, ¡°This is too much.¡± ¡°Master, why do you feel emotional?¡± Lilith comforted. Wei Feng wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and asked, ¡°Do you regret staying with me?¡± Lilith didn¡¯t speak. She simply used her fingers and pinched Wei Feng¡¯s side. ¡°Ouch!¡± Wei Feng grinned. ¡°Don¡¯t speak of such nonsense!¡± Lilith scolded. The Wolf King wailed as he walked by. ¡°Aw, how nice to have a partner, awoo!¡± ¡°Get out of here!¡± Wei Feng kicked the Wolf King away. ¡­ Now that his [Abyss Recovery] mission was completed, he was happy. He obtained 100,000 Forbidden Energy from it as well. Which means he will be able to purchase high-end goods at the palace in his brain. However, Wei Feng wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He wanted to secure a home first. His goal was clear ¨C make Sunset Plains his permanent home. Using Sunset Plains as a foundation, he wanted to build an inner city that is within Red Maple. He could obtain stones from Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains, but there was clearly a shortage of manpower. Wei Feng and Ying used [Devil¡¯s Call] to summon more demons. ¡­ Early in the morning. Ling Xiaoxiao eyes were greeted with a light blue sky, and was in a daze. She was used to waking up to her white ceiling every day. She wasn¡¯t used to this. However, she didn¡¯t regret anything. If Wei Feng didn¡¯t rush back to Yancheng to save her, she would have been dead. Her life belongs to Wei Feng now. Ling Xiaoxiao simply accepted the change in her life. Sitting up, she was a little surprise. When they arrived here last night, it was a simple plain, overgrown with grass. Now, her surroundings have completed changed. Alongside the moat that Wei Feng formed, a city wall foundation could be seen. Not a single weed could be seen either. Fruit trees were planted neatly by Greater Demons as well. Ling Wu, Scarlet Flood Dragon, and Wei Feng transported these fruit trees from the Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains. This filled Ling Xiaoxiao with hope. This feels no worse than being a president of a city. Besides, isn¡¯t building your own city with your own hands more fulfilling? ¡°Hey! Breakfast is here!¡± The Snow Wolf came over with a basket in her mouth that contained food. ¡°Why, thank you!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and took the basket. She mindlessly chewed, wanting to finish breakfast quickly. She intended to join in on helping to build the city. ¡°Finished!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao devoured her breakfast, and ran towards Lilith. ¡°Lilith, allow me to help!¡± With Ling Xiaoxiao¡¯s expertise in leading, everything became orderly. CH 101 Chapter 101: Goblin At the Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains. Because of its unique terrain, the wind blowing into the mountain will be blocked by a corridor-shaped mountain. Therefore, the wind won¡¯t be able to flow through. It¡¯s as if the mountain itself is breathing, so it is called the Wind¡¯s Breath Mountain. The mountains aren¡¯t small either ¨C it spans nearly a thousand miles to the northwest, and wraps around Sunset Plains like a semicircle. The mountains are also naturally rich in materials. Coupled with its remoteness, few people have ventured here, which makes Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains a hidden treasure. Before dawn, Wei Feng brought the Scarlet Flood Dragon, Ling Wu, Thunder Bird, and other beasts capable of flight into the mountains. Fruit trees were abundant in the mountains ¨C there weren¡¯t many fruit on each tree, but each fruit was plump, round, and juicy. Wei Feng ordered Thunder Bird to help move these fruit trees. Wei Feng was violent in his methods ¨C he excavated around three metres of soil around the fruit trees, and brought both the soil and tree back to Red Maple to replant. The Scarlet Flood Dragon conjured large clouds to help it transport the fruit trees. The entire process was quick and efficient ¨C in ten trips, an estimated amount of five hundred fruit trees were replanted in Red Maple. Later on, Wei Feng added some trees to brighten up the place. He wasn¡¯t that particular in choosing the trees. He just wanted the place to look good. By noon, Red Maple was lined with lush, green trees. The Scarlet Flood Dragon then used its ability [Rainfall] to water the fruit trees. Wei Feng was overjoyed looking at the scene. Building your own home with your own hands. ¡°Don¡¯t forget the stones.¡± During lunch, Ling Xiaoxiao reminded Wei Feng. ¡°Alright.¡± Wei Feng nodded. He found that Ling Xiaoxiao was very attentive in helping the construction of Red Maple. Afternoon came. Wei Feng took the Scarlet Flood Dragon and Thunder Bird into the mountains again. Stones were easy to find. There were boulders scattered all over the mountain. He needed to choose carefully. He didn¡¯t know how to determine a stone¡¯s quality, so he used a tried-and-true method. By force! A good stone can withstand a lot of force. If a stone doesn¡¯t break easily, then it is a good stone. After a short scout, he found a blue-coloured stone under a cliff. The texture of this stone was good. It was sturdier than any stone discovered before. ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°Squeak squeak!¡± ¡­ Wei Feng suddenly heard the sounds of rats squeaking coming from above the cliff. Wei Feng hid himself. There were rat beasts that resemble people on the cliff. They stood on their hind legs. They were about a meter high, and their backs have evolved to support them standing upright. Their front paws resembled human hands, and their arms were long and lined with fur. Plus, they have modern weapons! Not just any ordinary weapon¡­ It wasn¡¯t weapons like wooden sticks and stone hammers, but metal-forged swords and battle axes¡­ ¡°Master, are they fighting something?¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon whispered. ¡°Let¡¯s take a look,¡± Wei Feng whispered back. Wei Feng made Thunder Bird shrink, and all three of them flew up to investigate the scene. Wei Feng discovered something peculiar. On the side of the cliff, there was a sunken valley. There were about a hundred rats lining up and rushing down to attack something. Trees obscured the valley, so Wei Feng flew lower to investigate. ¡°Boom!¡± Explosions could be heard within the valley. Trees fell down, and Wei Feng saw a mushroom cloud rising. Wei Feng¡¯s eyes widened. What¡¯s going on? Are there humans down there? That¡¯s a mushroom cloud¡­ This world discarded explosive weapons in exchange for thermal weapons, but¡­ ¡­this mushroom cloud is obviously the work of an explosive weapon. Wei Feng sped past the rat beasts and flew towards the valley. ¡°Little pests, taste my dynamite!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Die!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The valley was far livelier than he imagined. Various explosions continued; his ears started to ring. Besides, he found the way these ¡°humans¡± spoke was a bit strange. Wei Feng hid behind a tree and witnessed the scene before him. Those weren¡¯t humans. They had pointy ears¡­ Those were goblins! They have a stature that of humans, but were only about a metre tall. They had pointy ears and large, bald heads. They¡¯re fighting the rat beasts for some reason. He saw goblins carrying explosives to kamikaze themselves into the rats. However, the rats were agile. This method of attacking only harms them in the long run. If they¡¯re lucky, they could take a rat down with them. The Scarlet Flood Dragon whispered, ¡°Master, why don¡¯t these goblins throw the bombs instead?¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Maybe they aren¡¯t smart enough. Boom! Boom! ¡­ Explosions continued. There was only a dozen of goblins left. Wei Feng noticed a larger goblin standing by a sloped hole. The goblin donned leather armor, and his right arm was replaced by a mechanical arm. Wei Feng lit up. These goblins are skilled in making machinery! He used Abyss Peek to peer into the big goblin¡¯s information.

CH 102 Chapter 102: Special Talents Wei Feng widened his eyes. He needs this ability! Wei Feng leapt out from the tree branch and stopped a goblin from being a kamikaze. ¡°Stop right there!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive, I¡¯ll save you!¡± Wei Feng shouted, grabbing the goblin. The goblin widened his eyes, and ignited the bomb on him. ¡°I¡­¡± Wei Feng couldn¡¯t just let it die. ¡°Buzz!¡± Wei Feng lifted his hands, and black light shone in his palms. He used magic to remove the bomb from the goblin¡¯s back. The bomb exploded in the black magic ball, and the goblin was uninjured. ¡°Wait!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a human!¡± The leader of the rat beasts and goblins exclaimed. Wei Feng turned to look at the rat beast. It understood human language. The rat was wearing an armor made of fine steel and held an extra-large hammer in its hand. The two arms lined with grey fur were strong with muscle. Wei Feng quickly used Abyss Peek onto the rat leader.

Core Abilities: [Forging] ¨C Rat Men are skilled in forging technology, and can forge various weapons. [Smelting] ¨C Rat Men can smelt and extract various metals. Exclusive Abilities: [Metal Mania] ¨C Rat Men are attracted by the sounds of metal clanging. They can mould metal into various different shapes as well. ¡­ ¡°My god.¡± Wei Feng muttered to himself. He needed this ability as well. Wei Feng wondered what made these Rat Men get human characteristics. It¡¯s somewhat cute. ¡°Stop fighting, now!¡± Wei Feng ordered. He knew it won¡¯t be easy, since there were casualties on both sides. However, Wei Feng can¡¯t let them fight anymore. They were too valuable to him. He needed their abilities. In order to further improve his Restricted Area! ¡°Human, are you sure you want to help us?¡± the goblin leader stepped forward and asked. ¡°Human, I advise you to mind your own business!¡± the rat leader threatened. Wei Feng stood there, motionless. He wasn¡¯t sure what to do to solve this conflict. He glanced at them left and right, then an idea came to mind. ¡°Become my royal beasts!¡± Wei Feng shouted. There was only one way to resolve this conflict. He conjured countless summoning symbols into thin air. The rat leader realised something was amiss, and prepared to pounce on Wei Feng. The Scarlet Flood Dragon landed right next to the rat leader. The Scarlet Flood Dragon was about 1.5 metres long, and its claws were extraordinarily powerful. It gently pressed the shoulder of the rat leader, restricting its movement. Thunder Bird returned to his original form and restrained the goblin leader as well. Countless summoning symbols flooded the forest. In less than a minute, two primary ten-point star arrays were formed. Buzz! The two summoning arrays flew towards the Rat Man and goblin leader. They couldn¡¯t resist it, either. Wei Feng far surpassed them in power. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Goblin].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Building], derived from [Goblin].] ¡­ Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Rat Man].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Forging], derived from [Rat Man].] ¡­ As soon as the summoning symbol was branded on their forehead, the Rat Man and Goblin changed their attitudes. Rat Man: ¡°Put down your weapons! This is our master, and he is great!¡± ¡°Take orders from Master from now on!¡± The Rat Man continued. The goblin leader cheered, ¡°Master, accept my devour worship! You are the savior of our goblin family and our god!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ This is too much. Wei Feng was a little helpless, and requested them to tone it down. ¡°Master, follow me. Our goblin family has stored a lot of metal, and I am willing to give it all to master,¡± the goblin leader said, leading Wei Feng to a cave. The rat men followed behind excitedly as well. The goblin leader did not listen to a word Wei Feng said. Through the shared information chain, however, the goblin leader and rat men leader had no choice but to act this way. He is great and powerful! Following the goblins into the cave, Wei Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. They had built extravagant houses, even if they were inside a cave! In addition, there were a lot of goblin workers as well. They had a large population. The goblin leader took Wei Feng to visit their mines. It was the first time Wei Feng had witnessed such a scene. The mine was exceptionally bright ¨C metal stones illuminated the cave with different coloured lights, like a kaleidoscope. Along the mine, a trolley slides, filled with ore. Wei Feng was amazed, and the eyes of the Rat Men glimmered. The goblin leader then took Wei Feng to their warehouse. It was a cave with a space of about a thousand yards, and it was filled with various ores. And this is just one of many warehouses. Wei Feng found that the Rat Men¡¯s eyes were glimmering with the need to obtain these metals and ores. However, their leader kept them under control. Wei Feng announced, ¡°Everyone, follow me to Sunset Plains. I require your help to build a city ¨C in the future, that will be our common home.¡± The eyes of the goblins flickered with astonishment. Building magnificent cities have always been the dreams of goblins. However, because of their race, they were relegated to the underground instead. Their desire to build great cities has never faded, however. Now, they have a chance to make this dream come true, and each goblin was filled with hope and excitement. Wei Feng turned his head to the Rat Men leader, ¡°Why are all of you still standing around, help them to carry the metals! You have to help me build equipment in the future!¡± The Rat Men were stunned. They were overjoyed. Why were they even attacking the goblins in the first place? They didn¡¯t know. There was metal laid out in front of them. Moreover, their Master stated they could forge equipment for him daily! This was great! ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡°Squeak!¡± ¡­ The group of Rat Men rushed into the warehouse, and held the metal in their arms, fascinated. The goblins couldn¡¯t wait to push the cart to build the city. ¡°Hurry! Call all the workers in the mine! We are moving!¡± the goblin leader announced. The Rat Men leader also announced, ¡°Go back and call all our tribesmen! We need to carry metal, then go to Master¡¯s city to help build equipment!¡± CH 103 Chapter 103: The Wind¡¯s Horn Soon, nearly a hundred rat people entered the mine to move the metals. Each cart pushed was filled with metal and ores. Soon, they left party by party. The team was led by the Scarlet Flood Dragon. Two hours later, they reached Sunset Plains. Lilith and Ling Xiaoxiao were unprepared, and quickly dispatched the Greater Demons to help unload the metals. Ling Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded watching hundreds of trolleys pulling up to Red Maple. She understood that Wei Feng had something to do with it. There was just too much metal! Moreover, there were a lot of precious metals as well. ¡°Come on and help! There¡¯s still a lot of metal back in the cave, I need some help!¡± the Scarlet Flood Dragon asked the Wolf King and the others for help, and all of them rushed to the mountain. The goblin¡¯s transportation was too slow. Wei Feng used his magic to put a large batch of metals into [Dark Cage], then moved them to Red Maple. With how strong Wei Feng was, he could lift an entire hill. This cage can hold half of all the metals in a single warehouse. It only takes Wei Feng a half an hour journey to return. After an entire morning, all the metal was moved successfully. Now, they have the expertise and resources required to build a city. Wei Feng used the cage to obtain a large amount of the bluestone from the mountain, and the construction of the city officially began. The Rat Men built a furnace to start smelting the metal. The goblins then planned the construction of the city. Wei Feng let them handle it. He was only responsible for transporting the materials. In terms of management, Ling Xiaoxiao has it under control, so he doesn¡¯t need to worry at all. His strength was put to good use. Within two days, he completed excavated a small portion of Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains. Five days later. The entire Sunset Plains had a city wall about two metres high. The inner city was carefully designed by the goblins to build several palaces. To build a place, they required a kind of stone, capable of suspending itself in the air. Fortunately, this type of stone is easily found in Wind¡¯s Breath Mountain. In the east of the mountains, there is a valley. Above this valley is a floating island, filled with large, floating stones. However, there is a strange creature residing there, and it cannot be caught by the naked eye. Wei Feng was curious. It was boring to carry materials, so he wanted to investigate. He brought the Night Demon, Xing Xie, and the Beast of Light with him, and they set off to find this floating island. It only took about an hour to reach the floating island. Not to mention, this floating island was large. It was overgrown with trees, so it looked like a floating forest. ¡°Woo¡­¡± ¡°Woo¡­¡± Wei Feng soon heard a strange sound. It sounded like wind, and the cry of a person ¨C it originated from the floating island. ¡°Master, this sounds familiar!¡± the Night Demon exclaimed, shrinking itself to a small size, and rested itself on Wei Feng¡¯s left shoulder. It thought for a moment, then continued, ¡°Master, I know what it is! It¡¯s the Wind¡¯s Horn!¡± ¡°The Wind¡¯s Horn?¡± Wei Feng looked at the Night Demon curiously. The other two beasts looked at the Night Demon curiously too. ¡°Uh¡­¡± The Night Demon caught itself, then continued, ¡°I think I know what it is ¨C the Guardian Demon, Ye Lan, told me stories of it! It¡¯s like a guardian for life!¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised. Ye Lan is the Guardian Demon for the Night Demon clan, and was the former guardian for the Dark Elves. The Night Demon was visibly excited, urging Wei Feng to hurry, while telling Wei Feng information about the horn. The Wind¡¯s Horn was a sacred weapon of the Dark Elves. In their possession, they were extremely powerful. One day, however, it disappeared without a trace, and the Dark Elves fell from power. To this day, not a single Dark Elf has been sighted. ¡­ After landing on the floating island, the Night Demon scouted the area. It shouted, ¡°Finding the Wind¡¯s Horn and reviving the Dark Elves has always been Ye Lan¡¯s wish! I must help him fulfil it!¡± Xing Xie and the Beast of Light followed suit. The floating island was about 30 miles long in diameter. It wasn¡¯t that big ¨C it shouldn¡¯t take that long. However, Wei Feng found that the sound came from all directions. This is difficult. Wei Feng tried to look for it using his enhanced senses, but it was useless. There¡¯s a special energy that quelled his power here. Seeing the Night Demon¡¯s unfruitful search, he felt that he needed to bring the Spirit Hog over to help him locate it. He let the little beasts search, and returned to the Red Maple to retrieve the Spirit Hog. Two hours later. Wei Feng returned with the Spirit Hog, but the three little beasts were unfruitful. It¡¯s up to the Spirit Hog now! Wei Feng took the Spirit Hog around and let it sense the horn. Ten minutes later. At the northeast of the island, the Spirit Hog sensed special energy. Wei Feng landed with the beasts, and the fur of the Spirit Hog glowed. There is a black stone tablet. To be precise, a tombstone. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t understand the text on the tombstone, but the Night Demon could. ¡°This is the writings of the Dark Elves¡­ and on the tombstone it writes ¡°Seven Soldiers!¡±¡± the Night Demon clarified, visibly surprised. ¡°If I remember correctly, Ye Lan¡¯s father¡¯s name was Seven Soldiers!¡± Ye Mo looked at Wei Feng in awe. ¡°Squeak!¡± The Spirit Hog jumped out of Wei Feng¡¯s grasp and dug under the tombstone. ¡°Buzz!¡± A beam of light shot out the tombstone, distorting the space around it. Wei Feng peered into the hole, and found a piece of white jade. The white jade was about the size of a thumb, and is engraved with dark elf inscriptions. All right! The Night Demon was right. Wei Feng unsummoned the Spirit Hog, and let Xing Xie and Beast of Light dig up the tombstone. A large piece of white jade shone with brilliant light. ¡°Wind!¡± ¡°Breeze!¡± ¡°Gale!¡± ¡­ The Night Demon looked at the white jade¡¯s inscriptions and recited it. As it continued to chant the inscriptions, its words took on a form, and floated uo, Its incantation soon formed a portal. Whirr! CH 104 Chapter 104: Holy Artifact Whirr! The incantations formed a portal. In the centre of the portal was a curtain of light, connecting to an unknown space. The Night Demon leapt into the portal with no hesitation. Wei Feng had no choice but to bring the Beast of Light and Xing Xie in. In a flash of dazzling light, Wei Feng entered the portal. The realm was less than 20 square metres. It was empty and barren, save for the dark green horn floating in the middle of the realm. This must be the Wind¡¯s Horn. He used Abyss Peek to peer into its information. [Exploration Panel] Target: Horn of Cenarius Type: Holy Artifact Status: Half-sealed Description: The Horn of Cenarius, also known as the Wind¡¯s Horn, is the sacred relic of the Dark Elves. A single blow of the horn commands the Dark Elves. Self-Healing: The horn belonged to Cenarius, the God of Life. The horn¡¯s holder increases their own recovery tenfold. Space: Cenarius defies space and time. The horn itself holds thousands of yards of space. Passive: Increase the holder¡¯s attributes by 5000 Ascended Power. Flower of Life has not been activated. Wither Life has not been activated. Terminate has not been activated. ¡­ Wei Feng: !! A holy artifact! Wei Feng widened his eyes. This artifact was beyond his expectations. At this time, a phantom manifested in front of the horn. ¡°Who goes there?! You do not possess the blood of Dark Elves, so why are you able to enter this space?¡± the phantom inquired. ¡°Wait, you look exactly like Ye Lan!¡± the Night Demon shouted. ¡°Ye Lan? My son? Ye Lan? Where is he? Tell me! Where is my son?!¡± the phantom crazed. The Night Demon was calm, and took out an item and showed it to the phantom. It was an arc-shaped jade ¨C dark green in colour, dull, and somewhat broken. When the phantom saw the jade, it stopped its crazed advances. Wei Feng noticed the phantom was shedding tears. ¡°This is my son¡¯s jade! He is still alive! He is alive¡­¡± the phantom shouted excitedly. He then turned to the Night Demon, and said softly, ¡°Your Excellency, how may I help you?¡± ¡­ An hour later. The Night Demon and the phantom chatted for an hour. Wei Feng and the other beasts simply waited. He eavesdropped the conversation, and found that the phantom¡¯s name was Ye Hui, who used to be the patriarch of the Dark Elves. ¡°Thank you!¡± Ye Hui thanked the Night Demon, and ended their chat. Wei Feng peered at them. Ye Hui placed the horn in the Night Demon¡¯s hands. Ye Hui warned of the restrictions imposed on the horn. It was dangerous. A stranger cannot touch the horn. Ye Hui needs to lift this specific restriction before others can touch the horn. After they left the space, the portal disappeared. The white jade shattered, completely cutting off the connection to the other realm. ¡°Master, here you go.¡± The Night Demon handed the horn to Wei Feng. Wei Feng didn¡¯t want it, however. ¡°Take it for yourself. I have Power of Control anyways ¨C this way, we both obtain benefits.¡± Indeed, if the Night Demon gains a surge in attributes, so will Wei Feng. This is much stronger than keeping the horn. ¡°Thank you, master!¡± The Night Demon was excited, then dripped its own blood onto the horn, and bound itself to the Wind¡¯s Horn. Buzz! A huge amount of power surged into the Night Demon, forming a vortex around him. The vortex caused the space around it to tremble, and the entire floating island started to tremble as well. Ding! [NOTICE: Your [Night Demon] has absorbed the power of the holy artifact [The Wind¡¯s Horn], and all attributes are +5000.] [NOTICE: Your [Night Demon] has reached Level 9 Ascended.] [NOTICE: [Night Demon] activates the core ability [Eclipse].] [NOTICE: [Night Demon] activates the core ability [In the Night, Demons Come].] ¡­ The moment the prompt sounded, huge power surges into Wei Feng¡¯s body. Under the Wind¡¯s Horn power, the Night Demon levelled up to level 9, and its attributes directly broke through the 7000 value. Wei Feng¡¯s attributes have also skyrocketed by 3000! He felt powerful.

It may look slow, but it is merely relative to its own size. And this floating island was moved by Wei Feng and Night Demon. The goblins and Rat Men witnessing the scene were stunned. Wei Feng parked the island by the east of Red Maple, then brought Night Demon back into the city. The goblin leader ran over and shouted, ¡°Master! You are too powerful! How is it possible that you were able to push that island over here?¡± ¡°Master, seems like you became stronger! And Night Demon, what did you see?¡± the Scarlet Flood Dragon inquired. ¡°I¡¯ll tell all of you later ¨C but for now, let the Night Demon sound the horn!¡± Wei Feng announced. The Night Demon equipped the Wind¡¯s Horn. ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­ a holy artifact?! How did you get it?!¡± the Scarlet Flood Dragon asked in shock. ¡°Yup!¡± The Night Demon proudly nodded. ¡°This is the sacred weapon of the Dark Elves ¨C the Wind¡¯s Horn! However, for now, it is in a half-sealed state.¡± ¡°Half-sealed, you say¡­¡± Some beasts sighed in relief, because the power the Wind¡¯s Horn held had them trembling in awe. ¡°Quick! Blow the horn!¡± Wei Feng encouraged. ¡°Yes, master.¡± The Night Demon blew the horn. Whoosh! Woosh! The horn was quiet, as if a soft breeze was caressing everyone. ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, a circle of strong winds formed, with the Night Demon being the Eye of the Storm, spreading out violently. ¡°Only dark elves would be able to recognise the sound of the horn,¡± the Night Demon muttered. Wei Feng was a little confused. All he could hear was the sound of the wind rushing past him. A prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: A sacred artifact has caused your Restricted Area to upgrade to a Grade A Restricted Area.] [NOTICE: Your Restricted Area expands into a range of 80,000 yards.] [NOTICE: Reward: Forbidden Energy: +100,000] ¡­ Wei Feng was surprised by the series of prompts. He didn¡¯t really care for his Restricted Area being upgraded; he was more excited over the reward. However, Wei Feng understood why he obtained this much forbidden energy. It was to further expand his own Restricted Area. Generally, most beasts don¡¯t have the ability to build, so they can only rely on forbidden energy to help them shape their Restricted Area. 100,000 Forbidden Energy is nothing, really. With the help of the goblins and the Rat Men, Wei Feng didn¡¯t need to waste this forbidden energy either. Afternoon came. Thunder Bird transported a large number of goblins onto the floating island. There were many trees on the island, and some stones need to be harvested ¨C they also enlisted the help of the demons. Wei Feng had nothing to do at the moment, so he entered his brain domain and visited the palace in his brain. The mouse said that as long as he obtained a total of 100,000 Forbidden Energy, the high-end shop will be available to him. Now, he has more than a hundred thousand. His current forbidden energy was 318,849. Three hundred thousand! He sunk into his brain, and let his manifestation of Spirit Power enter the palace. ¡°Welcome!¡± As soon as he stepped into the shop, a cheerful voice sounded. The grey mouse had switched his clothes and is dressed in a luxurious red robe with festivities printed on it, looking very festive. ¡°Is it already Christmas?¡± Wei Feng smiled. The grey mouse simply chuckled and said, ¡°How is it? Do I look festive enough? I only wear this for the most honourable guests!¡± Wei Feng glanced around the store, and found that there were much fewer shelves in the palace. He confirmed, ¡°Remember you promised me 30% discount last time?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Of course!¡± The mouse immediately nodded, then gestured at the shelves, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a quick look around the store? I got pretty good stuff for you, and there¡¯s a special item that¡¯s surprisingly cheap ¨C just for you!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Wei Feng looked at the mouse curiously. ¡°You¡¯ll know it when you see it,¡± the mouse chuckled. ¡°How mysterious,¡± Wei Feng said sarcastically. He walked over to the shelf holding some potions: Spiritual Stimulant ¨C Price: 1000 Forbidden Coins Levelling Elixir ¨C Price: 3000 Forbidden Coins Forbidden Item Enhancer ¨C Price: 5000 Forbidden Coins ¡­ All these potions were very useful. Especially the levelling elixir and forbidden item enhancer ¨C they are exactly what Wei Feng needs. The levelling elixir can help an Ascended Beast Master to hit Level 10 easily. The same is true for the Forbidden Item enhancer. However, Wei Feng noticed some disclaimers written under the potions. Excessive use can lead to potion resistance. For example, when taking the levelling elixir, you would be able to level up a single level, but the effect will weaken with each dose. ¡°Let¡¯s see what else there is¡­¡± He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to buy the potions anyways. There were three eggs on another shelf, and a red egg caught Wei Feng¡¯s attention. Written under the eggs: Ancient Magic Ape Egg ¨C Price: 10,000 Forbidden Coins Pegasus Egg ¨C Price: 30,000 Forbidden Coins Phoenix Egg ¨C Price: 50,000 Forbidden Coins ¡­ A phoenix egg! Wei Feng read the egg¡¯s information, and found that it came from the same Ancient Beast bloodline that the Black Tortoise has! ¡°I want this.¡± Wei Feng pointed at the egg. ¡°Alright.¡± The mouse had already prepared its ladder, and climbed on it to obtain the egg. ¡°That one too!¡± Wei Feng pointed. He figured that he could use the Pegasus as a mount. ¡°Alright!¡± The mouse grabbed the two eggs for Wei Feng and put it in his shopping basket. ¡°Why don¡¯t you look over at that shelf?¡± the mouse gestured. ¡°I promise you ¨C it¡¯s a good item.¡± Wei Feng nodded, becoming curious. What could the item possibly be for the mouse to be promoting it? It must be powerful! He trailed behind the mouse until they came to the last shelf, and there was only a single item on the shelf. CH 106 Chapter 106: Identity Selection Looking at the item, Wei Feng was a bit surprised. It looked like a child¡¯s toy ¨C it was a glass ball holding grey energy. There were numbers flickering from one to nine in the grey cloud of energy. What could it be? Wei Feng peered at the item¡¯s info: Data Energy ¨C Price: 200,000 Forbidden Coins. Function: Prepares the digitalisation of the world. Explanation: A key component to the [Data Heart] ¨C within three years of the initial digitalisation of the world, if the Data Heart is activated, the world will be completely digitalised. ¡­ What¡¯s the meaning of this? Digitalising the world¡­? Wei Feng looked at the mouse doubtfully. He didn¡¯t really want to know the implications behind this item. Besides, it is incredibly expensive ¨C 200,000 Forbidden Coins, and it is merely a component of a bigger item. ¡°You seem confused ¨C do you think this item has absolutely nothing to do with you?¡± the mouse inquired. ¡°Yes.¡± Wei Feng nodded. This item had no use to him. The mouse smiled, ¡°Well, buy it, and you¡¯ll find out!¡± ¡°Buy what?¡± Wei Feng replied. The mouse: ¡­ The mouse knew Wei Feng was playing dumb because he didn¡¯t want to buy it. ¡°Just buy it! Do as I say!¡± It then pointed at the Data Energy item and said, ¡°This may be a component of the [Data Heart], but you need it to obtain other items as well!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ Wei Feng understood what the mouse was getting at. He knew that the mouse really wanted to sell this item. Fine then. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it, but you have to give me a discount ¨C 50% off, or no deal,¡± Wei Feng bargained. The mouse didn¡¯t hesitate and replied, ¡°Deal!¡± Wei Feng: ¡­ It was that easy? Just like that, the Data Energy was sold. There has to be a catch to this item. Wei Feng glanced weirdly at the mouse. ¡°Believe me ¨C this item will bring you unimaginable benefits,¡± the mouse said cryptically. Whatever. It was already purchased anyways. However, he wanted to bargain for his other items some more. After fierce bargaining, the mouse relented, offering to give a 10,000 discount if he buys 100,000 worth of items. All right! Wei Feng was satisfied with this deal. He bought a lot of levelling elixirs and forbidden item enhancers, and used only 150,000 Forbidden Energy. ¡­ Wei Feng exited the palace and left his brain domain, and a prompt sounded immediately. Ding! [NOTICE: [Data Energy] has been obtained.] [NOTICE: A unique quest has been activated ¨C [Reset the World].] ¡­ What the hell? Wei Feng quickly opened his task panel. [Task Panel] [Reset the World] ¨C This world has already shown signs of digitalisation, and resetting this world is the only way to save this world. Quest Requirements: Obtain a component of the [Data Heart]. Reward: New Identity x1 ¡­ ¡°Master, what did you get?¡± Lilith was surprised seeing the pile of things next to Wei Feng. Wei Feng quickly stood up and hid the Data Energy behind his back, ¡°I got us some potions ¨C ask the beasts to come over and use two potions each.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring them over,¡± Lilith replied. The Data Energy floated gently on Wei Feng¡¯s hand. Ding! [NOTICE: Do you want to release Data Energy?] ¡°Yes.¡± ¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± The orb swelled in Wei Feng¡¯s hands, and dissipated into a burst of fluorescent light. [NOTICE: You have unleashed [Data Energy], and it will take effect in 30 minutes.] ¡­ Wei Feng raised his head and looked at the dissipated light, like a dying firefly. He then noticed an exceptionally bright light flying straight towards him, penetrating his body. Ding! [NOTICE: You have completed [Reset the World].] [NOTICE: You have unleashed Data Energy.] [NOTICE: You have obtained x1 New Identity.] [NOTICE: The identities are being generated, please wait.] [NOTICE: Identities have been generated.] ¡­ Wei Feng found that another panel has appeared. [Identity Panel] ¨C Below are the generated identities for the new world: The Biggest BOSS; The Hidden; The Mastermind. ¡­ 1: If you select [The Biggest BOSS] identity, you will become the most powerful person in the new world. You will obtain a random Holy Artifact. Core Ability: [Summon] ¨C As the most powerful entity, you can summon once a day. The summoned entity is a random creature and is at least two levels lower than yourself. 2: If you select [The Hidden] identity, you will obtain the [Secret] title in the new world. You will obtain a random Holy Artifact and two random Demigod Artifact. Core Ability: [Secret] ¨C With the [Secret] identity, you will gain high amounts of attribute growth. Increase all attributes by 1% per day. Note: Entities holding the [Secret] identity will be universally hated by every creature, and this feeling of hatred is doubled when encountering [The Biggest BOSS]. 3: If you select [The Mastermind] identity, you will gain the [Stalker] title in the new world. You will obtain three random artifacts. Core Ability: [Grant] ¨C You can grant any identity to a living unit in a specific space ¨C any unit that obtains an identity will be blessed with attributes and abilities. Note: You will be bound to this world forever. If the world dies, you will die with it. ¡­ Wei Feng was shocked. It¡¯s simple, kind of. He obtained the choice to assume three diabolical identities. He didn¡¯t know what the world would be like in the Digital World, but he was sure of one thing ¨C these three identities will be the core of the new world. [The Biggest BOSS] seems to be the easiest choice. [The Hidden] is interesting ¨C if one can evade and hide from the world for a long time, they will be invincible sooner or later. [The Mastermind]¡­ Wei Feng was a little unsure. Compared to the previous two identities, this identity had uncertainties tied to it, because the items obtained are all random, and they are bound to this world forever. However, Wei Feng felt that this identity is the identity that will truly conquer the new world. CH 107 Chapter 107: The Mastermind ¡°I choose [The Mastermind]!¡± Wei Feng chose the third identity. His intuition told him to do so. His intuition tells him that this identity had to be the best one of the three, especially considering that core ability. Ding! [NOTICE: You have successfully selected [The Mastermind] identity.] [NOTICE: Your items are being generated¡­] [NOTICE: You have obtained the Holy Artifact [Space-Time Domain].] [NOTICE: You have obtained the Holy Artifact [Specific Rules].] [NOTICE: You have obtained the Demigod Artifact [Infinite Resurrection.] ¡­ ¡°Oh my god.¡± Hearing the prompts, Wei Feng gasped in shock. Sure enough, his intuition was correct. His three artifacts plopped right beside him. But at this time, another beep sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: You have chosen [The Mastermind] identity. Hence, [The Biggest BOSS] and [The Hidden] identities will be randomly distributed.] [NOTICE: The identities have been randomly distributed, and they will be hostile to you.] ¡­ Okay. Seems like the system has arranged two enemies for him. ¡°Master, they¡¯re all here- Master! What is the meaning of this?!¡± Lilith came over and shouted in shock seeing the items beside Wei Feng. ¡°It¡¯s a Holy Artifact!¡± Wei Feng answered, and continued, ¡°This world is about to change completely.¡± ¡°Master, what are you talking about?¡± the Scarlet Flood Dragon swam in the air with excitement. ¡°Master!¡± ¡°Master!¡± Xing Xie, the Beast of Light, and the others came too. Wei Feng ordered them to consume two levelling elixirs each. The effect will be maximised if they use two each. The Scarlet Flood Dragon, the Beast of Light, and the other Divine Beasts bloodline beasts can level up through Level 2 to reach Level 4, while the Red Fox and Snow Wolf etc. can break through Level 3 to reach Level 5. ¡°Crack!¡± ¡°Crack!¡± At this time, the two eggs that Wei Feng purchased started to hatch. In ten minutes, a snow-white foal leapt out of the egg. The foal was snow-white, with a pair of flawless wings on its back and neck. Aside from the wings, it was similar to a normal horse. Wei Feng smiled in satisfaction, and drew the summoning mark for it. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Pegasus].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Pure Heart], derived from [Pegasus].] ¡­ The Pegasus was already at Level 3 Ascended, and Wei Feng used the elixirs to level it up to Level 5 Ascended. As it took the elixir, its body grew, and it is now much taller than ordinary horses. The Phoenix was also hatching, and Wei Feng used the summoning symbol to mark it as his own. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the Ascended Royal Beast [Phoenix].] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Flame], derived from [Phoenix].] ¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Crimson flames suddenly erupted from Wei Feng¡¯s body, enveloping him in fire. The temperature of the flames was extremely high, and the other beasts were so frightened that they had to take a few steps back. Wei Feng, however, felt extremely warm. It wasn¡¯t the scorching heat that you¡¯d encounter in the desert, but a comforting heat that warms the body in a cold night, ¡°Chirp chirp!¡± Black substance floated out of Wei Feng¡¯s body, and formed the Phoenix itself. This surprised Wei Feng. It felt like his body was strengthened several times by the flames of the Phoenix ¨C his body was slightly tanned due to the heat, but it was chiselled to perfection. ¡°Chirp!¡± The Phoenix chirped and perched itself on Wei Feng¡¯s board shoulders. ¡°Boom!¡± The flames persisted by Wei Feng, continuing to mould his body to perfection. ¡°Chirp!¡± Sizzle¡­ Wei Feng felt like he was being grilled alive by this scorching heat. However, he didn¡¯t feel like anything was wrong. Instead, he felt comforted by this heat. The flames persisted for another five minutes. Ding! [NOTICE: The Phoenix has blessed you with its fire, and your attributes have increased by 500 Ascended Power.] [NOTICE: Phoenix¡¯s [Nirvana] has been unlocked.] ¡­ ¡°Chirp!¡± The Phoenix chirped on his shoulder; its feathers bright with pride. [Royal Beast Panel] Royal Beast: Phoenix (Ancient Divine Beast] Level: Level 7 Ascended Attribute: Fire Strength: 1320 Ascended Power Agility: 1520 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 1730 Ascended Power Ancient Bloodline: Level up to gain additional bonus attributes. Exclusive Ability: [Nirvana] ¨C The Phoenix can continuously use [Nirvana] to improve its bloodline¡¯s power. Core Ability: [Flame] ¨C Burn everything. [Blade of Fire] ¨C Using fire, conjure a blade of fire. In addition to a burning effect, deal damage equal to twice your Spirit Power. [Rain of Fire] has not been activated. [Explosion] has not been activated. [Fire Spirit] has not been activated. [Purgatory ¨C Lake of Fire] has not been activated. [End Times ¨C the Shape of Fire] has not been activated. Hidden Ability: [Ancient Four ¨C Phoenix] has not been activated. ¡­ Compared to its brother [Black Tortoise]¡¯s defensive abilities, the [Phoenix] was focused on its offensive abilities. Looks like he already obtained two of four ancient beasts. Ding! [NOTICE: Data Energy has taken effect.] [NOTICE: The initial digitalisation of the world has begun.] [NOTICE: This world has connected with the plane named [Earth], and a connection has been established.] [NOTICE: The data sync between the two worlds have been completed, and the first batch of people will appear in twelve hours.] [NOTICE: You have obtained a mission ¨C [Data Heart].] [REMINDER: You have now assumed [The Mastermind] identity.] [NOTICE: A special space has been formed.] [NOTICE: A connection between worlds has been completed.] [NOTICE: ¡­] ¡­ The prompts kept ringing in his head, and Wei Feng was overwhelmed by the information. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°Wait, Master! This is the Power of the Source!¡± ¡°Master!¡± ¡­ The Scarlet Flood Dragon continued to shake Wei Feng. This Data Energy¡­ what is it? Ding! [NOTICE: You can now use [Space-Time Domain].] [NOTICE: You can now use [Specific Rules].] [NOTICE: You can now use [Infinite Resurrection].] ¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Red Maple was shaken asunder. The formation of the items was too brilliant. The items descended from the sky, and unknown plants grew one after another in the void, surrounding the three objects, like angels. Everyone was speechless. The surroundings were splendid with power. CH 108 Chapter 108: Countdown Plants grew rapidly in the void. Wei Feng understood that the Demigod artifact was causing this growth. A Divine Artifact is obviously stronger than a Holy Artifact ¨C although this was a Demigod artifact, its power was unimaginable. The attributes of the items were then revealed: Item: Space-Time Domain Tier: Holy Artifact Attributes: Time, Space Range: 100,000 yards. Function: Create a domain with an area of 100,000 yards, and everything in this domain will be controlled by the owner of this device. Note: This domain only applies to living things with attributes below 50,000. ¡­ Item: Specific Rules Tier: Holy Artifact Attribute: None Range: 100,000 yards Function: Create specific rules within a range of 100,000 yards. All living things within this area must abide by these rules. Note: These rules only apply to living things with attributes below 50,000 Ascended Power. ¡­ Item: Infinite Resurrection Tier: Demigod Attribute: Chaos Range: 100,000 yards Function: Grants infinite resurrection to any target within 100,000 yards. Note: This item only applies to living things below the rank of God-level. ¡­ Wei Feng: ¡­! Looks like these items must be used together. With these items, wouldn¡¯t he be god within a range of 100,000 yards? This power is crazy. ¡°Master, we have all obtained the Power of the Source!¡± the Scarlet Flood Dragon danced. Wei Feng finally understood what the Scarlet Flood Dragon was shouting about ¨C it is the digitalised world taking effect. In a digitalised world, the power of the source is Data. For example, the stone next to Wei Feng has specific data now. The attributes of the Scarlet Flood Dragon have also undergone some changes. It now displayed health points. This is the digitalisation of the world. Wei Feng thought it was like a game, even. Wei Feng didn¡¯t know the implications of this, however. He didn¡¯t mind that much though; the changes have already happened. He only has to adapt. At this time, several panels appeared in his brain. [UNOPENED] [UNOPENED] Blue-eyed Ghost King: God-tier (Seven Stars) Angel of Holy Light: God-tier (Seven Stars) Juggernaut: God-tier (Seven Stars) Lei Shi: God-tier (Six Stars) ¡­ He didn¡¯t understand these panels. He was a little confused. ¡°Are these the first batch of people about to arrive here?¡± Wei Feng muttered to himself. In a previous prompt, it said that a plane named [Earth] has overlapped with this world, and a connection has been established between both worlds. Wei Feng was a little anxious, because he knew that he was originally from that world, he also knew that everyone on Earth didn¡¯t have a concept of levels. He wasn¡¯t that worried, though. After all, he was forcibly ejected into this world earlier than them, and he has obtained [The Mastermind] identity in this world! Being the Mastermind¡­ ¡­means that he has total control over those people who were about to come! Hahahaha! Wei Feng giggled, then opened his other unopened panels. Missions: [Data Heart] ¨C Unleash the true core of Data Energy to complete the full digitalisation of this world. Requirements: Collect 1 million Forbidden Energy, and craft a Data Heart and release it. Rewards: x1 Artifact, x3 Single-use Data Modifier. Other Missions: [Competition] ¨C The Restricted Area competition launched by the #1 Restricted Area [Eternal Restricted Area]. Requirements: Participate and enter the top ten. Rewards: x2 SSSS-Tier Forbidden Items, +100,000 Forbidden Energy. ¡­ The rewards for the first mission was exciting! However, obtaining a million Forbidden Energy¡­ what a joke! He shook his head and looked at the last unopened panel. COUNTDOWN: 11:32:15. ¡­ Several locked panels were also present. He can¡¯t open the panels yet, though. He has to wait for the people from [Earth] to arrive to open them. And it seems like they will arrive in eleven hours. Wei Feng could do nothing but wait. He wasn¡¯t threatened by them anyways. The only thing he needs to look out for is [The Hidden] identity ¨C if left unchecked, [The Hidden] could become invincible, so it is necessary to seek out this person in advance. Evening came. Wei Feng and Lilith sat under the Red Maple tree. The moon was extraordinarily bright ¨C its light illuminating Red Maple. ¡°Wei Feng! We got electricity!¡± Ling Xiaoxiao could be heard shouting from a distance ¨C suddenly, rays of light emitted from the centre of the city, dispelling the darkness. The goblin leader started to build circuit facilities yesterday. Utilising Thunder Bird¡¯s manipulation of electricity, they no longer have to worry about power supplies. The city lights came on one by one, soon illuminating the entirety of Red Maple. This was the first ray of light in Red Maple. Late at night, Wei Feng sneaked out. Red Maple was silent. He sat cross-legged on a large rock and waited. COUNTDOWN: 00:00:10 ¡­ 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Wei Feng watched the countdown. When the last second turned to zero, the world trembled. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng looked up at the sky ¨C countless beams of light fell from the sky, like a meteor shower. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°What happened? Why did I feel the earth shake?¡± ¡­ The Night Demon sat beside Wei Feng, its face raising with confusion. ¡°It¡¯s alright, not anyone we need to worry about,¡± Wei Feng smiled, patting the Night Demon on the head. ¡°Master, you seem to know what¡¯s happening,¡± the Night Demon asked. Wei Feng smiled, looking at the meteor shower, ¡°You¡¯re right. No one knows what¡¯s happening now better than me.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Wei Feng sighed, and said with emotion, ¡°After all, I come from that world.¡± ¡­ Ding! ¡­ Ten minutes after the prompt, there was silence. After the beams of light landed, all was silent. It wasn¡¯t until later that Wei Feng discovered that a panel named the World Panel appeared, and another panel named World Channel was within it. ¡°Where am I? I was just sleeping at home, where are we?!¡± Wei Feng: ! This was a global chatroom! ¡°Oh my god, where are we?! Are we in a different world? Help me! There¡¯s a five-metre-tall creature in front of me!¡± ¡°¡±Is this a game world? I just pinched myself, and it hurts!¡± ¡°We need to locate each other! Where is everyone?¡± ¡°Pay attention! This world is hostile! I just saw someone get eaten alive!¡± ¡°Is it true?!¡± ¡°I want to go home¡­ I want my mom!¡± ¡­ Various voice messages sounded in the World Channel, and Wei Feng¡¯s heart became restless. He sent a message into the World Channel. ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± CH 109 Chapter 109: A Game ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± He sent a message, but it was quickly drowned out by the spam of messages. The World Channel was filled with messages ¨C some were calling for help, some were looking for their loved ones ¨C all these messages rushed past each other. Wei Feng didn¡¯t really care. He wanted to send a message to taunt them, but was satisfied after knowing that he could send messages to them. ¡­ The world changed overnight. In addition to the people from [Earth], some channels in other planes were also unlocked. The god-tier creatures that were on Wei Feng¡¯s panel set food into this world, bringing irreversible changes. Wei Feng¡¯s system didn¡¯t issue any prompts to notify him of this, though. Early in the morning. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained Daily Tasks.] ¡­ Wei Feng jerked awake. Wei Feng absentmindedly opened his task panel. Seems like he obtained a daily task. [Daily Task]: [Daily Trials] ¨C Create a special space and create rules within this space. When any living thing dies in this space, gain forbidden energy. Requirements: Create a special space akin to a ¡°game world¡±, and kill at least 100 entities in this space. Restrictions: You cannot interfere with this space directly, and you can only use creatures below Level 3. Rewards: Forbidden Energy +10,000. Failure of mission deducts 10,000 Forbidden Energy instead. Remaining time: 23:59:02 ¡­ ¡°Daily tasks? Ah¡­¡± Wei Feng widened his eyes. What the hell is this? It was enough that he obtained some daily obligations, but now there¡¯s a penalty for failure? And he can¡¯t directly interfere with that space either. He thought for a bit ¨C isn¡¯t this just a way to train those people from Earth? Wei Feng narrowed his eyes in thought. So, this special space he¡¯s creating is merely a trial ground for those people? And it must be similar to a game world, too. Wei Feng felt that things weren¡¯t as simple as before. But now, he has a daily task to complete, and he didn¡¯t want to get a deduction in forbidden energy. Whatever. At the very least, he learnt from the World Channel that the people from Earth are unable to die. That must be the work of [Infinite Resurrection]. After a living thing dies in a specific area of 100,000 yards, they will be resurrected without any loss. ¡­ He explained the situation briefly to Lilith, then left Red Maple alone. With his current tasks, his beasts would be of no use to him. Besides, now that Red Maple was under construction, the goblins and Rat Men needed a lot of manpower. He flew all the way north. On a plain about two thousand miles north of Red Maple, a space was formed. It was known as the Novice Village, and it was a shelter for those who were forced into this world last night. Two hours later, Wei Feng arrived. He saw a wall of energy surrounding the plain. This energy wall is able to block any creature above Level 3 from entering. He approached the energy wall and saw houses on the plain, and a large number of ¡°players¡± walked through the energy wall to hunt for wild boards and other beasts for food. Wei Feng sneaked by and touched the energy wall, but a prompt sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: You cannot enter. However, you may enter as an NPC.] ¡­ Alright then. He agreed to the conditions. Energy burst out from the wall and enveloped Wei Feng. Ding! [NOTICE: Please give your NPC Identity a name.] ¡­ ¡°Handsome Feng!¡± Wei Feng said. Ding! [NOTICE: Name choosing is successful. An NPC Identity has been generated.] [NOTICE: You gain the ability to post tasks.] [NOTICE: You gain the ability to [Create].] ¡­ Wei Feng was surprised that he really became an NPC. The ability to post missions allows him to pin mission on the World Channel, which all players can access. [Create] would be useful too ¨C he can use mana or Forbidden Energy to create anything in the village, including living things! He was filled with curiosity and anticipation, and entered the village. ¡°Xiaoqiu, run! There¡¯s a wild boar there!¡± ¡°Ah! It hurts, Ergou, what are you doing?! Take care of this wild boar for me! I need to level up so I can fight these creatures!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡­ Not far away, he could see four young people hunting a wild boar. The wild boar was barely Level 1, but it made these people struggle. He walked to a house not far away, observing the people within. All of the people in the house were full of passion ¨C they were teaming up to fight monsters and improve their strength, like guild members in a game teaming up to fight mythical beasts. He sneaked away from the crowd, and used [Create] to summon some Level 1 creatures. Name: Ghost Wolf Experience Points: 50 Drops: 50% Chance to drop Wolf Teeth. Summon: 20 Distance: 200 yards ¡­ He used 200 mana to summon twenty ghost wolves, and each wolf was 200 yards away from each other. He went straight to a cozy cottage and sat down, then pinned a task on the World Channel. [Collect Wolf Teeth] ¨C A group of ghost wolves have appeared in the woods in the North. Kill them to obtain their teeth. Requirements: Collect two wolf teeth. Rewards: +100 EXP, +1 Spiked Sword ¡­ As soon as the mission got pinned, the World Channel was flooded with messages. ¡°Oh my god, a mission!¡± ¡°I told you we were forced into a game world, and you didn¡¯t believe me!¡± ¡°A sword! Guys! We can obtain equipment from this quest, quick!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get it!¡± ¡­ Almost everyone in the village rushed to the north. Wei Feng grinned. He needed to fatten up his calves. The reason why he made some Level 1 Ghost Wolves were to give hope to the people. Some may succeed and gain some rewards, while some may die. Five minutes later. Messages flooded the World Channel. ¡°Damn it, these wolves are too strong!¡± ¡°It killed me with a single paw!¡± ¡°Did anyone kill the wolves yet?¡± ¡°Yes! A ten-person team teamed up to kill two wolves, and some people are exchanging their equipment for wolf teeth!¡± ¡°How can anybody kill such a strong creature?¡± ¡°We need to form a team!¡± ¡­ Looking at the messages, Wei Feng grinned. He was already at the half-way mark of his daily sacrifices. CH 110 Chapter 110: The Data Heart ¡°I¡¯m done!¡± A teenager walked into the cottage and handed Wei Feng two wolf teeth. ¡°Ah, how great of you to complete the task! Here is your reward,¡± Wei Feng smiled as he waved his palm. A beam of light shone on the boy, and a sword appeared in the boy¡¯s palm. This [Create] ability is really useful. An hour later. Ding! [NOTICE: You have completed your daily mission.] He smiled. This way, he can obtain +10,000 Forbidden Energy daily. ¡­ This exchange was great. For 10,000 Forbidden Energy, all he needed to do was expend a little of his mana. Besides, mana can be recovered with no repercussions. Wei Feng got up and left the cottage. He wasn¡¯t really in the mood to deal with these rookies 24/7. He decided to let them cultivate on their own and develop their Novice Village. He returned to Red Maple, and took the Night Demon, the Phoenix, the Black Tortoise and other royal beasts and left again. There was still another uncompleted task. That task was to enter the Restricted Area leaderboards! When you destroy a Restricted Area and obtain the Forbidden Item bound to it, you can use that Forbidden Item and let your own Restricted Area absorb its energy. Wei Feng intends to challenge a top ten Restricted Area and plunder their Forbidden Item. If it wasn¡¯t for the rewards, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to perform such a murderous feat. Evening soon came, and he finally arrived at the Grade SSS Restricted Area. [Twilight]. The city of Twilight looked dilapidated and run down ¨C there was not a single trace of light anywhere and was unusually quiet. Wei Feng had already done preliminary research on Twilight. The creatures within Twilight were all undead ¨C afraid of fire, afraid of light. And the owner of this Restricted Area was only a Level 9 Ascended entity. There shouldn¡¯t be any problem. ¡°Buzz!¡± He summoned his Phoenix, Beast of Light, Black Tortoise, and other divine beasts. ¡°Do your worst.¡± Wei Feng waved his hand. Gently. ¡°Boom!¡± Crimson flames spat out of the Phoenix¡¯s mouth instantly, illuminating Twilight with scorching heat. Holy light fell from the sky and smote the entirety of Twilight with brilliant white light. It was like a nuke. ¡°Roar!¡± A roar sounded from a distance. Wei Feng could see a creature shrouded in darkness ¨C it was only bone, and its rotten wings flapped with mould. This must be the owner of Twilight ¨C a Level 9 Ascended Undead Bone Dragon! ¡°Chirp!¡± The little Phoenix flew forward. After using the levelling elixir, the tiny Phoenix was already Level 9 Ascended. ¡°Boom!¡± Bright flames erupted, and the black shroud enveloping the dragon was dispelled immediately. The dragon was no match for the phoenix. After three bursts of flame, the dragon disintegrated into a pile of ash and fell to the ground. Ding! [NOTICE: You have killed the owner of Twilight. Gain +100,000 Forbidden Energy.] ¡­ A prompt sounded, surprising Wei Feng. By just killing the owner of a Restricted Area, he gains a hundred thousand Forbidden Energy. He should be able to obtain a million in no time. He swept across Twilight, leaving no mercy for any inhabitants ¨C he obtained more than fifty thousand Forbidden Energy massacring the entire city. And this wasn¡¯t counting the forbidden item bound to Twilight, too. This really is too easy. Wei Feng retrieved the Forbidden Item bound to the area, but did not plan to go back to Red Maple immediately. He intends to destroy another Grade SSS Restricted Area, so he could reach a million Forbidden Energy. Now, his total Forbidden Energy is more than 300,000. Wei Feng discovered that absorbing a bound Forbidden Item can increase at least 300,000 Forbidden Energy, too. He immediately flew towards the nearest Grade SSS Restricted Area. Two hours later. Wei Feng arrived at another Restricted Area. This was the Top 7th Restricted Area, known as the City of the Sky. They were no match for Wei Feng, and fell within an hour. He massacred some creatures of the Restricted Area and left. Now, he has 511,409 Forbidden Energy. Just over half a million. ¡­ He rushed back to Red Maple, and arrived at dawn. His daily tasks were refreshed. Same like yesterday, he had to kill 100 players. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to do so, however, and let Red Maple absorb the two Forbidden Items he plundered. ¡°Buzz!¡± The entire process lasted ten minutes. Ding! [NOTICE: [Crown of the Red Maple] has reached SSS-Tier.] [NOTICE: You have obtained +615,000 Forbidden Energy.] ¡­ Six hundred thousand! Wei Feng¡¯s Restricted Area immediately shot up the leaderboards, right below the Eternal Restricted Area. After his Restricted Area hit the SSS Grade, the range expanded. It expanded through the entirety of Sunset Plains, and the lake to the east and part of Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains was affected by Red Maple. After a short rest, Wei Feng started to form [Data Heart]. He couldn¡¯t directly purchase it from the mouse, since he needed to use Forbidden Energy to condense it ¨C otherwise, he would have begged the mouse for a discount. ¡°Boom!¡± Wei Feng condensed the Forbidden Energy using Red Maple as a conduit, and a terrifying scene occurred. The sky above them seemed to collapse ¨C countless cracks cracked in the sky, and a strange light, accompanied by unknown energy fell, like a waterfall. The Tree was bathed in the strange light ¨C each branch and leaf was growing in size, the branches expanded. ¡°Buzz!¡± Light condensed in a single point. It distorted the space around it, like a singularity. In the void, unknown lights stretched out, converging on the singularity. Wei Feng was full of anticipation. A prompt finally sounded. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained [Data Heart.]. CH 111 Chapter 111: The Eternal Summoner As soon as the prompt sounded, a grey energy ball manifested in front of Wei Feng. The energy ball was like a heart, beating rhythmically. With each beat, the space around it vibrates. Wei Feng reached out his hand and touched the ball, and another prompt sounded. Ding! ¡°I accept.¡± ¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± With his consent, the energy ball collapsed instantly, dissipating into smoke and disappearing into the air. The process was eerily simple, subverting his expectations ¨C there wasn¡¯t any earth-shattering noise, nor was there anything grand to witness. Ding! [NOTICE: You have completed the [Data Heart] quest.] [NOTICE: You have successfully released [Data Heart].] [Rewards: x1 Artifact, x3 Single-use Data Modifier] ¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± In an instant, a lightning bolt struck down in front of Wei Feng. Unknown energy formed in front of Wei Feng ¨C the energy was surrounded by sparks of electricity, and lightning continued to bombard in front of him. Thunder continued to roar, shaking the Earth. The lightning repeatedly struck in front of Wei Feng, as if it was establishing a physical connection, connecting the sky to the ground. ¡°This must be the artifact forming,¡± Wei Feng thought. Wei Feng shielded everyone behind him to prevent accidental injury from the lightning. In addition, Wei Feng could feel there were three additional items forming in his Brain Domain. This must be the single-use data modifier. [Exploration Panel] Target: Data Modifier Nature: Single-use Function: Modify the world¡¯s data once within a range of 100,000 yards. Note: The modified data will be recorded within the world, and the modifier must bear the changes to the world. ¡­ Modifying the world¡¯s data¡­ Wei Feng was shocked at this powerful ability. Originally, he thought that it was simply used to modify a local area¡¯s data, but he didn¡¯t expect to be able to modify the entire world¡¯s data. In this case, wouldn¡¯t he be able to erase some people¡¯s existence? Wei Feng trembled with power. This is horrible! The description mentioned that the modifier must bear the consequences as well, so it is best to not use it unless he really needs to. The stronger the ability, the bigger the consequences. Ding! ¡­ Now, the artifact was fully formed in front of Wei Feng. Wei Feng had some doubts when peering into the artifact¡¯s information. [Eternal Summoner]? What is this artifact? Wei Feng quickly probed the function of the artifact. Name: Eternal Summoner Type: Artifact Attribute: None Owner¡¯s Attribute Bonus: 10,000 Ascended Power Function: Summon a random true divine beast to aid you in battle. Note: The summoned beast is not permanent, and the duration for the summon depends on the summoner¡¯s Spirit Power. ,,, A divine beast? Wei Feng was curious. He gave it a try. ¡°Summon!¡± With Wei Feng¡¯s words, a shadow immediately loomed over Red Maple. Every single living thing within Red Maple shuddered with fear, as if death itself had approached. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but look up and saw a figure standing by the city wall in the inner city. The figure was shrouded in darkness ¨C he couldn¡¯t tell what the figure looked like? Wei Feng widened his eyes at the realization. Is this his summoned beast? Wei Feng let out a shaky breath. He waved his arm, and found out that he could control the mysterious figure. This must be the Eternal Summoner¡¯s doing. Wei Feng was a little excited, and commanded the figure to attack a big mountain. The figure turned around, and in an instant, phased to the specified mountain almost instantly. ¡°Boom!¡± With a single punch, the mountain was nowhere to be seen. Wei Feng was dumbfounded. This beast is too powerful! To the point where the mountain was completely gone! Seeing this, Wei Feng was ecstatic. He probed the beast¡¯s information. It¡¯s too strong! Its full attributes were more than 100,000 Ascended Power, and its core abilities were even more mind-blowing. Looks like he can also summon it as long as 30 minutes. This beast is invincible! Wei Feng unsummoned the beast, so that the cooldown would be shortened. The normal cooldown is 12 hours, but now, it takes only 2 hours. ¡­ After completing his [Data Heart] quest, he took a break. In the afternoon, he went to the Novice Village again, since he had to complete his daily tasks. He didn¡¯t want to lose Forbidden Energy. Once he entered the Novice Village, he was surprised to see that the strength of the villagers has increased extremely fast! Some villagers have already reached Level 7! It¡¯s kind of scary. It¡¯s only been less than a day, and they have already reached that height. Wei Feng used [Summon: Wolf King] to summon many wolf beasts, and completed his daily task with ease. He soon discovered a problem. The problem: These villagers are growing strong too fast. Seems like each of them has their own unique system, similar to his. Besides, they can¡¯t die either. Many of the villagers treated this world like a game, and took many risks for greater rewards. ¡­ He returned to Red Maple and informed Lilith and Ling Xiaoxiao about this. They discussed the matter for a bit, and came to the conclusion that it was a good thing. Red Maple was far from civilization and developing rapidly ¨C they simply needed a force that can rise rapidly to attract the attention of major forces in this world and get the attention off themselves. This way, Red Maple can develop peacefully. ¡°I guess both of you are right.¡± Wei Feng thought it was reasonable too, since he simply wanted some place to call home. The Scarlet Flood Dragon swam over and said excitedly, ¡°Master! Today, I found a piece of land in the sea to the east, and I think there¡¯s a lot of resources there!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised. Did his beast wander off to play in the eastern sea? ¡°Master, hear me out¡­¡± With the Scarlet Flood Dragon¡¯s explanation, Wei Feng understood what the dragon meant. Turns out, the eastern sea¡¯s flow was abnormal ¨C with a short investigation, the Scarlet Flood Dragon found that there was land rising above the sea. In addition to the rich resources, there are also large palaces on that land! CH 112 Chapter 112: White Tigress The next morning. Wei Feng went to the eastern sea to look for the land that appeared. Indeed, as the Scarlet Flood Dragon said, there were a lot of important resources on the land, but at the same time, danger looms at every corner. Some oceanic creatures guard the land ¨C Wei Feng used Abyss Peek to probe their information, and the result surprised him. [Exploration Panel] Target: Dragon Shrimp (Ancient Beasts) Level: Level 7 Ascended Attribute: Water Strength: 2340 Ascended Power Agility: 2050 Ascended Power Spirit Power: 2210 Ascended Power Dragon¡¯s Blood: The Dragon Shrimp has the bloodline of a dragon, and all attributes gained grant additional bonus attribute growth. Core Abilities: [Giant Strength] ¨C Dragon Shrimp gains additional growth in strength. [Water ¨C Wave Blast] ¨C Unleash a blast of water, dealing damage equal to 1.5 times the strength value. [Sturdy Carapace] ¨C The protective shell resists damage equal to twice its own strength. ¡­ This Dragon Shrimp is way too strong! Wei Feng¡¯s eyes lit up ¨C seems like he found a great place to train. Of course, he could only thank the Scarlet Flood Dragon. He returned to Red Maple, and brought the Divine Beast team with him to the eastern sea again. Within half an hour, they arrived. They landed in a corner near the west, collecting resources and honing their abilities at the same time. They used the Night Demon¡¯s [Wind¡¯s Horn] to store the resources, as it had massive amounts of space within it. Wei Feng used [Infinite Resurrection] in the area as well. He used it to ensure his beasts would not die, so he was rest assured that they could practice in peace. Not to mention, the beasts here were a challenge for his beasts to face. The Dragon Shrimp, the Dragon Crabs, and Dragon Turtles posed a great challenge to them. At the end of the day, Wei Feng took his beasts further two kilometres to the east. It was to let them gain fighting experience. Besides, the rewards are huge. All kinds of metals and precious gems could be harvested from the land, and some mysterious plants contained huge potential and energy within them, so Wei Feng brought them back with him. Evening soon came. Wei Feng went to the Novice Village to complete his daily task. To Wei Feng¡¯s surprise, there was a human who had already reached Level 10! This was terrifying! He has never seen such terrifying growth rate. ¡­ Although some of the humans have already reached Level 10, most of them were still Level 6 and 7. Wei Feng used his [Summon: Wolf King] ability to summon more wolves in order to complete his daily task. He returned to Red Maple, and night had already fell. Lilith was still awake ¨C she waited for Wei Feng to come back every day before sleeping. Today, there was another person waiting for Wei Feng. Ling Xiaoxiao. Tonight, it was destined to be a sleepless night. ¡­ Morning came. His daily tasks were refreshed. First off, he took his divine beasts to train in the eastern sea; in the evening, he went back to complete his daily tasks, and just like that, a day is over. Some of the humans in the Novice Village have already become Ascended, and left the village to explore the world. The exact whereabouts of these humans are unknown, but it wasn¡¯t good news for Wei Feng. The next day, he let the Night Demon lead his divine beasts into the eastern sea to train, while Wei Feng went to the Eternal Restricted Area. This was his first time venturing to the Eternal Restricted Area. Wei Feng wanted to find out what the #1 ranking Restricted Area was like. ¡°Buzz!¡± After walking through heavy fog, Wei Feng entered the Eternal Restricted Area. In his mind, he thought the Eternal Restricted Area was grand and majestic; palaces would scattered everywhere, and there would be a bustling city. On the contrary, it was dilapidated and run down. It was as if the Eternal Restricted Area had experienced the fallout of a great war. ¡°Welcome!¡± An old monkey appeared and bowed to greet Wei Feng. ¡°And you are?¡± Looking at the old monkey, Wei Feng was surprised. It was similar to the old monkey back in the Yangtze Restricted Area shrouded in fog ¨C if it weren¡¯t for the difference in their fur, Wei Feng would have thought it was the same one. ¡°I¡¯m Li. Master of Red Maple, you must have met my younger brother ¨C that useless thing¡­ he currently resides in the Restricted Area of the Fog,¡± the old monkey muttered mindlessly. ¡°Oh, I see!¡± Wei Feng nodded, and cupped the monkey¡¯s hands, ¡°I¡¯ve met him, in fact, he saved my life!¡± ¡°Haha! I didn¡¯t expect both of you to have that kind of relationship ¨C come with me, my master was awaiting your arrival,¡± the old monkey bowed. Wei Feng trailed behind the old monkey, peering at the dilapidated Restricted Area. When they reached the centre of the Restricted Area, a magnificent palace materialised in front of them. The whole palace was built of bluestone with a medieval touch ¨C the gate was open, revealing a grand interior. ¡°After you.¡± The old monkey gestured. Wei Feng slowly walked into the hall, examining the intricately carved beams and masterfully painted walls ¨C in the throne room, a figure lay on the side. It¡¯s a woman! Wei Feng stepped into the throne room carefully, and walked towards the throne. As he got closer, Wei Feng could see her appearance clearly. This woman wasn¡¯t human. She had some animal characteristics. Between the blue silk covering her head, two furry, snow-white ears could be seen. Like a tiger¡¯s ears. The two eyes were of a dark golden colour ¨C strange light illuminated within the irises. The bright red robe revealed a slit, showing her calves, white as jade. Her waist could be clearly seen through the well-fitted robe, and her breasts were slightly revealed. Her body was beautiful. Wei Feng couldn¡¯t help but stare using Abyss Peek.

And she¡¯s God-tier! Her attributes completely crush over him. ¡°Human, don¡¯t you know it is impolite to probe my information upon the first meeting?¡± the lazy tigress sounded. The tigress slowly got up, revealing her incredible body shape. ¡°I am simply using the information as preliminary research, perhaps it could be beneficial to my next negotiation,¡± Wei Feng explained with a smile. ¡°A negotiation?¡± The tigress got up from her throne ¨C her white, slender feet stepped forward and walked towards Wei Feng. Her aura of laziness quickly switched to a charming aura, full of temptation and seduction. This was challenging for Wei Feng. ¡°I know what you want, human. There is no need to negotiate ¨C from the moment you stepped into my palace, you have already become my master,¡± the tigress whispered and bowed, not caring that her breasts were now exposed in front of Wei Feng. Wei Feng: ! Wei Feng felt a little dry in his throat. Her posture was too seductive¡­ besides, she wants to surrender herself to him! But why? Wei Feng knew that this was the first time they even met, but she immediately decided to give herself to him. This was a bit confusing. ¡°Why?¡± Wei Feng simply asked. The tigress raised her head and smiled. ¡°Master, I am Bai Xue. Do you like my current form, or would you prefer my original form?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough! This form is fine!¡± Wei Feng said subconsciously. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, make me your beast,¡± Bai Xue whispered. Wei Feng was really confused! She really wants to become his beast! Wei Feng hesitated for a bit, but drew the symbols anyways. Since she insisted, he¡¯ll welcome her with open arms. ¡°Buzz!¡± The symbol landed on Bai Xue¡¯s head, and the summoning mark was embedded into her forehead. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained the God-tier Royal Beast [White Tigress]!] [NOTICE: Power of Control has been activated.] [NOTICE: You have obtained the core ability [Power ¨C Attack], derived from the White Tigress.] ¡­ Boom! A huge surge of power erupted within Wei Feng¡¯s body. After making Bai Xue his beast, the Power of Control shared some of her power with him. A 60% increase in all attributes made Wei Feng¡¯s attributes skyrocket, exceeding 100,000 Ascended Power. Ding! [NOTICE: All of your attributes have exceeded 100,000 Ascended Power, and you have become God-tier.] [NOTICE: You have unlocked the domain exclusive to God-tiers only ¨C [Holy Wall].] ¡­ With Bai Xue¡¯s attributes, Wei Feng¡¯s attributes exceeded 100,000 Ascended Power. He too, has become God-tier. ¡°Now do you understand why I want to become your beast?¡± Bai Xue whispered, cupping Wei Feng¡¯s hands in hers. Through the information chain, Wei Feng learnt something. ¡­ They returned to Red Maple. Bai Xue decided to follow Wei Feng back, bringing the Forbidden Item bound to the Eternal Restricted Area with her, as well as a lot of her stashed resources. Evening fell. The Scarlet Flood Dragon had led his siblings to the eastern sea to train earlier today, but had not returned. Wei Feng wanted to go retrieve them, but a roar of a dragon could be heard from the eastern sea. ¡°Roar!¡± The dragon¡¯s roar was deafening, full of anger. ¡°This is the Blue Dragon¡¯s voice!¡± Bai Xue said in surprise, looking in the direction of the eastern sea. ¡°The Blue Dragon?¡± Wei Feng glanced at Bai Xue and said, ¡°Something bad might have happened. We need to leave now.¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The two turned into a string of water, and shot out to the eastern sea at high speeds. ¡°Roar!¡± The Dragon¡¯s roar continued to sound. Wei Feng and Bai Xue soon arrived, and a blue dragon soared in the air, preparing to dive back down into the sea. Below, the Scarlet Flood Dragon and the Beast of Light were gravely injured ¨C they will die without a doubt. ¡°Buzz!¡± Wei Feng quickly activated [Eternal Summoner] without hesitation, and a phantom instantly materialised in the air. The Blue Dragon suddenly stopped mid-air, bound by a burst of energy, unable to move. Wei Feng was dumbfounded. This [Eternal Summoner] was way too strong! The Divine Beast was different from last time as well. ¡°Roar!¡± The Blue Dragon roared, shaking to free itself from its restraints. It could not move. Wei Feng quickly retrieved his beasts while the dragon was still suspended in the air. ¡°Boom!¡± The piece of land started to tremble and moved on its own. Wei Feng took a closer look ¨C turns out, the land was simply a gargantuan sea turtle ¨C this piece of land was merely its shell. Wei Feng took the turtle, the dragon, and his beasts back to Red Maple. With his newfound resources, Red Maple is officially invincible. The days passed by mundanely, and Wei Feng did his daily tasks mindlessly. He trained his demons and his beasts daily, and all of them grew extremely fast. With the help of Bai Xue and the Blue Dragon, Wei Feng managed to fully control his own power.

Today¡¯s world was divided into four major forces. Red Maple Restricted Area; the Adventists¡¯ Alliance; the Abyss; the Federation. In the past ten years, Wei Feng has shocked the whole world with Red Maple. And now, Wei Feng¡¯s strength is truly approaching that of a true God. He has reached the peak of being God-tier, and was a step away from truly becoming a God. But this single step was simply too far, and it has trapped him for a total of five years. In the first five years, he had already peached the peak of being God-tier, and his full attributes were already stagnant at 999,999 Ascended Power. But no matter what he did, it was useless. His attributes couldn¡¯t increase further. Wei Feng didn¡¯t know what the problem was. But what¡¯s certain is that he was definitely at the top of the world now. Except for [Eternal Summoner], there weren¡¯t any beasts that were true gods at all. ¡­ ¡°Master, is there really no way?¡± Lilith asked, lying beside Wei Feng. In the past ten years, Lilith, Ling Xiaoxiao, and Bai Xue have all become Wei Feng¡¯s wives, but none of them were able to give birth to his children. Lilith and Bai Xue were self-explanatory ¨C they were of a different race, but even Ling Xiaoxiao was unable to bear his children. Wei Feng investigated the problem, and discovered that he himself was the problem. He was infertile. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Wei Feng comforted Lilith, patting her back. It¡¯s been ten years of trying, anyways. To be honest, he was already satisfied. His plans to create a place to call home, an empire¡­ ¡­it has officially come true. Today, Red Maple accommodates more than 50 million creatures of different races. The Night Demon rules over the Dark Elves, and they were slowly coming back from extinction. Ying rules over the Demons, and the Demons alone could overpower the Federation if they wanted to. In addition to the goblins and Rat Men, dwarves found their way into Red Maple too, and their craftsmanship was unparalleled. Building, forging, crafting ¨C they had it covered. The Floating City hovered peacefully over Red Maple. The sea was thriving with living things. Wind¡¯s Breath Mountains was lively. The Wild Plains, filled with creatures frolicking. ¡­ All of these areas were within Red Maple¡¯s territory. Ding! ¡­ A beep suddenly sounded, which made Wei Feng stunned for a second. A prompt hasn¡¯t sounded for over two years. ¡°500,000 Ascended Power¡­¡± Wei Feng sighed to himself, he felt that he needed to do more work. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡­ He summoned Bai Xue, Black Tortoise and Phoenix, and used Forbidden Energy to improve their attributes. He focused most of it on Bai Xue, since her attributes were the closest to half a million Ascended Power. Half an hour later¡­ Ding! ¡­ He used a large amount of Forbidden Energy to cultivate his beasts. It didn¡¯t matter anyways ¨C his Forbidden Energy was limitless. Two hours later. Ding! ¡­ The hidden abilities of the four divine beasts were all activated. He discovered that the [Ancient Beasts] abilities could form a portal, which could only be opened by the combined efforts of the four divine beasts. Evening came. On the Hanging City. Above the Bright Central Plaza. The four divine beasts stood in the four cardinal directions. Wei Feng, Lilith, and the others all stood around to watch. It is said that this portal leads to an unknown world, where the secrets of eternal life could be found, ¡°Buzz!¡± As the four divine beasts formed the portal, four different colours of light converged together. Boom! In an instant, dark clouds flooded the sky, and lightning crashed. The light converged into one, gradually forming a portal. The portal was about three metres high and one metre wide, strangely narrow. However, the scene on the other side of the portal was magnificent. Through the fog, Wei Feng saw a beautiful natural world, with high mountains and vast valleys. The portal overlooked the entire world, and it was beautiful. ¡°The legend is true¡­!¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon peered in the portal and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in awe. Wei Feng stepped forward to enter the portal, but encountered a slight resistance. ¡°Huh?¡± Wei Feng frowned. Judging from the resistance, it wasn¡¯t easy to enter the other world. All attributes require at least 500,000 Ascended Power to break through the resistance. In addition, he could tell something was amiss. This was a one-way portal. Once you step in, there is no returning. He stood in front of the portal, debating whether or not to enter, then motioned for the four divine beasts to close the portal. ¡°Buzz!¡± The portal dissipated into thin air, and the four divine beasts gasped for breath. Bai Xue was panting for breath, and forced out, ¡°Master, the cooldown for this portal is incredibly long¡­¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Wei Feng was a little surprised at her statement, and checked the cooldown. The portal¡¯s cooldown was as long as a year! Looks like it¡¯ll take a full year to reopen that portal. This was unexpected. However, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave anyways. This just gives him more time to prepare. He really intends to enter that new world, but he understands that it was impossible for the entirety of Red Maple to move there. Even some of his royal beasts are unable to follow him there. Wei Feng nodded, and began preparations. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. The portal¡¯s cooldown has ended and it can be used at any time. And they have decided the team that follows Wei Feng to the other world: Lilith, the Divine Beast team, Xing Xie, the Wolf King, Ying, and Dragon Ape. ¡­ Buzz! The portal soon lit up again on the platform of the Hanging City, and a crowd had gathered to see Wei Feng leave. They understood that once Wei Feng leaves, the world will change. Ling Xiaoxiao stood in the crowd, solemn. Wei Feng had appointed her as the new leader of Red Maple, and entrusted her to lead Red Maple in his absence. Thunder Bird, Snow Wolf, Ling Wu, etc. decided to not leave either. In the past ten years, many things have changed, even as an Ascended Beast. Wei Feng felt solemn too, but he had already made his decision. He used Forbidden Energy to voluntarily cancel his beast¡¯s contracts, allowing them to live in peace within Red Maple. ¡°Master, hurry up! We can¡¯t hold this portal for long!¡± Bai Xue urged. After Wei Feng and Lilith steps in the portal, Wei Feng would unsummon the Divine Beasts back into the royal beast space, so that they could leave with Wei Feng. ¡°Wait a moment!¡± A loud shout could be heard within the crowd. A figure approached the platform, panting. ¡°I¡¯ll leave with you, too!¡± CH 115 Chapter 115: The Divine Realm It was Zhang Xiyao. And her presence shocked Wei Feng. She was [The Hidden] identity. ¡°Let me leave with you, please!¡± Zhang Xiyao pleaded, tears forming in her eyes ¨C but Wei Feng could tell that Zhang Xiyao harboured hatred for him. ¡°Xiyao!¡± Lilith exclaimed. She was happy to see her! Ling Xiaoxiao didn¡¯t want to leave, but now that Zhang Xiyao was here to accompany Lilith, she felt assured. ¡°Lilith, you¡¯re going too!¡± Seeing Lilith, Zhang Xiyao¡¯s eyes softened. ¡°Xiyao, where have you been all these years? I missed you!¡± Lilith exclaimed, cupping her hands in her own. ¡°Lilith, I missed you too, we can talk later,¡± Zhang Xiyao smiled. It was clear Zhang Xiyao had been through thick and thin throughout the past ten years, her character has clearly matured. ¡°Time is running out, we can talk later,¡± Wei Feng reminded. Buzz! Wei Feng unsummoned his divine beasts, and hand-in-hand, stepped into the portal with Lilith and Zhang Xiyao. Everyone who came to see Wei Feng off waved. The Snow Wolf¡¯s eyes turned red, and she cried. ¡°Boom!¡± The portal flickered in an out of reality, and they disappeared. A new world awaits them. Ding! ¡­ A prompt sounded in Wei Feng¡¯s brain, awakening him. Strong light shone on his eyes, and Wei Feng felt extremely hot. The moment he stepped into this new world, he felt like he was on fire. It took some time for the strong light to finally dim, and Wei Feng could finally see. Not far away, a stone tablet was embedded into the floor, and two words were scratched into it. Divine Realm! Around the stone tablet, there were shattered pillars and broken walls, each of which was about hundreds of metres long. Wei Feng felt refreshed after the blazing heat all over his body had dissipated. After stepping into the Divine Realm, it seems that his body has been baptized by the strong and overbearing light, and his physique was blessed by the light. Wei Feng smiled, summoning his beasts. Boom! In an instant, his beasts burst into flames. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°It hurts! Help!¡± ¡°Master, please help me! It burns!¡± ¡­ The beasts screamed in agony. Wei Feng felt something was amiss ¨C they were unable to withstand the new rules of this world. Wei Feng quickly unleash a blast of water to help them suppress the flames. However, it was simply adding fuel to the fire, and the flames burnt harder. The three divine beasts, aside from the Phoenix, were unable to withstand the scorching heat. ¡°What should I do?¡± Wei Feng got desperate. He didn¡¯t expect this to happen ¨C he simply wasn¡¯t powerful enough after coming to this world. There was no help nearby either. Wei Feng tried to unsummon them to keep them safe, but it didn¡¯t work. He tried to use [Infinite Resurrection] to save them, but was unable to do so either. ¡°Master, we¡¯ll meet in the next life!¡± The Scarlet Flood Dragon¡¯s scales withered off, and it was the first to go. It transformed itself into a burst of light, and submerged itself into Wei Feng¡¯s body. ¡°Boom!¡± Xing Xie wanted to integrate its essence into Wei Feng, but was too late, and fell to the floor, burning. ¡°No!¡± Wei Feng yelled, falling to the floor. There was nothing he could do. The Beast of Light, Xuan Wu, Bai Xue, and the other beasts didn¡¯t want to delay their deaths any longer, and sacrificed their divine essence and integrated themselves into Wei Feng. Boom! The scene was quiet, and the Phoenix was the only beast left standing. Wei Feng knelt on the ground, motionless. This was beyond his expectation; he didn¡¯t expect this to happen. His beasts had died so suddenly ¨C they were unable to withstand the scorching baptism of this world. ¡°Wei Feng, we need to leave!¡± Zhang Xiyao crawled next to him in a weak voice. ¡°Oh my god.¡± Wei Feng turned to look at her ¨C her clothes had been singed off her skin, revealing large areas of pristine skin. Zhang Xiyao¡¯s gaze was affixed into the distance. Wei Feng followed her gaze, and widened his eyes. A group of tall knights, donning metal armor and riding war horses, galloped towards them at high speed. A murderous aura emanated off them, and unknown symbols erupted all over their bodies ¨C in the sky, a flaming nine-headed lion was conjured, and rushed towards them. ¡°Attack!¡± Wei Feng¡¯s face fell. He reached out to the air, holding Zhang Xiyao. But his face fell once again. He lost the ability to fly. The new rules he had to abide to was too strong, and he was unable to fly. Wei Feng carried Zhang Xiyao in his arms, and turned around to run. Boom! However, those knights were quickly closing in, and Wei Feng could feel their murderous intent creeping up his back. Zhang Xiyao¡¯s face turned pale, and whispered, ¡°Put me down.¡± Wei Feng gritted his teeth and ran desperately, and gave no answer. He lost too much the moment he came to this world. He couldn¡¯t let her go too. Zhang Xiyao struggled in his arms, and pushed herself off Wei Feng. ¡°Go! Leave me! You need to survive!¡± Zhang Xiyao¡¯s face was pale with fear, but she was determined in her decision. Boom! The knights were approaching fast. ¡°Roar!¡± Moreover, the flaming lion pounced towards him with its claws. ¡°No!¡± Wei Feng roared, but a red light suddenly shot up into the sky. The Phoenix enlarged his body and lunged at the lion. Boom! However, as soon as they met, the Phoenix shattered into thousands of pieces. Wei Feng¡¯s eyes were red with anger. He is going to lose everything. He glanced at Zhang Xiyao longingly, and turned around and ran. If he ran now, he could escape. The knights stopped by Zhang Xiyao, and didn¡¯t pursue further. ¡­ Three days later. Wei Feng was unconscious next to a cliff. His vital signs were weak; he was severely dehydrated under the scorching sun, and his divine status was flowing out of his body continuously. He¡¯s going to die sooner or later! A soft, black light flowed out of Wei Feng¡¯s body; a slender hand conjured, and with a simple spell and a single touch, Wei Feng¡¯s body disappeared. ¡°Master, you have to live!¡± ¡­ CH 116 Chapter 116: A New System The City of Floating Clouds. One of the four main cities of the Cang Xuan Empire. On the main street of the city was a beggar, curled up in a fetal position. He looked even worse than a beggar. His clothes were tattered, his face unkempt. The pedestrians looked at him in disgust, and left him to rot on the street. The person in question? Wei Feng. Lilith had exhausted all of her power to send him here, but the journey almost destroyed Wei Feng. All of his Forbidden Items were shattered from the journey, and power drained out of his body like water, severely weakening him. ¡°Clang!¡± A sound of gongs echoed in the street. Several people wearing royal garments walked through the street, announcing, ¡°The Royal Beast Pavilion is recruiting disciples! After three days, a trial will be held! Everyone is welcome to sign up!¡± ¡­ ¡°The Royal Beast Pavilion is recruiting disciples! After three days, a trial will be held! Everyone is welcome to sign up!¡± ¡­ The announcement echoed, ringing in Wei Feng¡¯s ear. A gleam of hope sparkled in Wei Feng¡¯s eyes. Because at this moment, the long-lost prompt sound sounded in his head. Ding! [NOTICE: The Beast-Monster Synthesis System has been activated.] [NOTICE: The system has been bound to you.] [NOTICE: The system¡¯s shop has been opened.] [NOTICE: The task panel has been opened.] ¡­ The prompts are back! And it¡¯s a brand-new system! Wei Feng¡¯s eyes widened, hope glimmering in his eyes. Ever since he came to this world, he lost everything. Only the imprint of his divine beasts¡¯ essence was left on him; Lilith had sacrificed everything to keep him safe; Zhang Xiyao was detained, and her whereabouts are unknown. Nothing was left. Regret and pain tormented him. The strength in his body flowed out like water, aggravating his injuries. He thought of ending his life earlier, but the prompt saved his life. Wei Feng could tell this system was much more powerful that the old one. He looked at the attribute panel to see if he could treat his injury. [Character Panel] Name: Wei Feng Beasts: None Exchange Value: 0 Fusion Points: 0 ¡­ Looking at the panel, Wei Feng was a little stunned. It¡¯s too simple! Wei Feng doubted this world. Wei Feng panicked a little, and looked at the other panels. The system¡¯s shop panel. The top row was a sequence of various items. He checked every item. [Fighting Beasts] Royal Beast Egg (Quality: White) ¨C Exchange Value: 1 Point Royal Beast Egg (Quality: Blue) ¨C Exchange Value: 5 Points.

And his own value was zero. He couldn¡¯t buy anything. This made Wei Feng desperate, and opened the task panel. [Task Panel] Task 1: [Recover] ¨C Recover yourself by any means. Rewards: +5 Exchange Value, +1 Fusion Points Task 2: [Your First Beast] ¨C Obtain your first beast. Rewards: +10 Exchange Value, +1 Fusion Points Task 3: [First Fusion] ¨C Fuse your beast once. Rewards: +10 Exchange Value, +1 Fusion Points ¡­ Sure enough, he could obtain some information from this panel. Now, his immediate priority was to recover himself so he could kickstart his life in this world. Wei Feng tried to stand up, steadying himself, and walked towards the inner city. He remembered there was a hospital at the end of the street that treated three patients for free per day. He never went for treatment since he was mourning and filled with regret, but now, he has hope. He walked for an hour before reaching. He survived the journey. ¡°Please, help me!¡± Wei Feng stood at the door of the inn and begged. A guy came out, and when he saw Wei Feng, his gaze was filled with disgust, ¡°Go away! Today¡¯s free treatments are over, come back tomorrow!¡± ¡°No!¡± Wei Feng refused, and held the door open with his arm, ¡°I may die tomorrow, please, help me.¡± Wei Feng didn¡¯t want to beg, but he was forced to do so. ¡°Hmph!¡± The guy snorted, ¡°Us treating three patients for free per day is a divine blessing ¨C don¡¯t push your luck.¡± Wei Feng didn¡¯t respond, and stepped forward into the inn. The guy immediately stepped forward and threatened, ¡°I warn you, stay away, or I¡¯ll be the one who will kill you.¡± ¡°Xiao Wu!¡± A crisp voice sounded within the inn. The voice was sweet, and he could hear the voice shouting, ¡°Bring him in! It is our duty as doctors to protect and treat the wounded! How could you leave someone dying at our doorstep?¡± The guy named Xiao Wu was reluctant, but let Wei Feng in. He led Wei Feng into the medical hall. He led Wei Feng to the backyard of the inn ¨C there were many flowers and plants, and chairs made of bamboo were placed in the courtyard. Xiao Wu helped Wei Feng in a chair, and immediately turned and left. A beautiful woman with a long, blue dress walked towards Wei Feng. She checked Wei Feng¡¯s injury, then fed Wei Feng an elixir, then went back into the inn. After a while, the woman returned, holding a wooden box in her arms. The woman opened the wooden box, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire courtyard. Wei Feng widened his eyes. The moment he inhaled the medicinal fragrance, a surge of heat brewed in his body, and he could feel himself heal from his injuries. He understood what it was immediately. Within that wooden box must be an extremely precious medicinal herb. Wei Feng didn¡¯t expect her to take the herb out and cut it. She placed the cut herbs into a pot, and added other herbs to boil in a stone stove. Wei Feng felt his body relax. She healed him and nursed him. ¡°Thank you.¡± Wei Feng said gratefully. The woman glanced at Wei Feng unexpectedly, but smiled at his gesture. CH 117 Chapter 117: Reborn Wei Feng laid on the bamboo chair, taking in the medicine to heal his injuries. A heat flowed in his body, stimulating his body to heal. Wei Feng could see four glowing marks on his body, and smiled softly. His four divine beasts were still aiding him in death. Wei Feng was deeply moved. He must hold them dearly to his heart, he thought. Wei Feng made himself comfortable on the bamboo chair, waiting for the medicine to boil. The woman boiled the medicine and filtered it ¨C she then placed the medicine into a cup full of ice cubes to cool, and brought it to Wei Feng. ¡°Drink this.¡± The woman ordered. Wei Feng took the cup, and drank the medicine. It was bitter, but somehow pleasantly sweet. It was weird. He didn¡¯t like the mix of flavours. Boom! While Wei Feng ingested the medicine, a surging force suddenly erupted within him. The medicine surged wildly within him, and attacked his internal organs. Wei Feng was taken aback, and dropped the cup on the floor ¨C he closed his eyes to concentrate, and used what remains of his divine power in his body to guide the medicine through his body. ¡°Crash!¡± The cup shattered on the floor. The woman turned around and glanced at Wei Feng in surprise. Buzz! Suddenly, the space around Wei Feng¡¯s body shuddered violently ¨C it looked as if his body was absorbing strands of light and the essence of the earth into his body. The scene made the woman¡¯s eyes widen. Spiritual energy invaded his body ¨C for his body and appearance to be moulded by this energy¡­ this is a feat that can only be done by a true God. That pathetic beggar on the street still had power within him rivalling a God! Boom! Wei Feng start to float off the chair. Wisps of crimson flames emerged from his body, igniting the spiritual energy that had been poured into his body. The flames lingered around Wei Feng¡¯s body, burning off what remained of his tattered clothes ¨C his body burnt to ash, his skin cracking. The woman was startled ¨C she quickly took a pail of water to save him, but stopped. She could see skin under the ash, and came to a realisation. ¡°This is¡­ a phoenix¡¯s rebirth!¡± she exclaimed. Wei Feng was fully enveloped in soothing flames. Wei Feng¡¯s mind felt peaceful, as if he was being comforted gently by the flames. He felt like an egg about to hatch. And he felt strong. The woman stayed by his side, unmoving. She wanted to witness a living miracle. She didn¡¯t disclose to Wei Feng that even if he recovered, he might not be able to become a beast master due to his injuries. But now, she could see him being reborn from ash, and continued looking in awe. A full hour passed, and Wei Feng heard a prompt in his brain. Ding! [NOTICE: You have completed Task #1 [Recover].] Rewards: +5 Exchange Value, +1 Fusion Points. ¡­ The flames dissipiated, and Wei Feng was reborn. His body was ripe with muscle, moulded by fire, and exuded a white luster. He looked like a god. Wei Feng opened his eyes. He stretched his arms, full of strength. The woman quickly retreated into the inn and brought out a robe, blushing, ¡°Please cover yourself, quickly!¡± Wei Feng hurriedly took the robe to cover his nakedness. Wei Feng bowed to the woman and said, ¡°Thank you for your grace upon me. I am Wei Feng, and I will definitely remember the kindness you showed me today. I will repay you in the future.¡± The woman shook her head and blubbered, ¡°No! It is my duty to save you ¨C I didn¡¯t do anything! It is your own body that rebirthed itself like a phoenix.¡± Wei Feng smiled and laughed. The woman was truly admirable. ¡°What is your name?¡± Wei Feng asked. The woman smiled, ¡°I am Lin Le Er, but everyone calls me Le Er ¨C you seem young, but you are articulate in your words.¡± ¡°I see. It¡¯s a good name.¡± Wei Feng nodded, ¡°Le Er, my saviour ¨C I have important things to attend to, I will return to repay your kind deed.¡± Le Er was a little helpless, and waved her arms around. ¡°Leave. It is my duty to save you, I ask of nothing in return.¡± Wei Feng smiled, and thanked Le Er again and left the inn. It was almost evening. Wei Feng found somewhere to stay the night. He looked into his attribute panel. Name: Wei Feng Beasts: None Exchange Value: 5 Fusion Points: 1 ¡­ He successfully obtained exchange value and fusion points. He opened the equipment panel. [Equipment] Iron Equipment (Quality: White) ¨C Exchange Value: 1 Point. Enchanted Equipment (Quality: Blue) ¨C Exchange Value: 5 Points. Mage Set (Quality: Green) ¨C Exchange Value: 15 Points Legendary Equipment (Quality: Purple) ¨C Exchange Value: 30 Points Epic Equipment (Quality: Yellow) ¨C Exchange Value: 50 Points Mythic Equipment (Quality: Red) ¨C Exchange Value: 100 Points ¡­ In the equipment category, he discovered that these armaments can be used by beasts and humans alike. Armour, swords, weapons, magic, all were available. Wei Feng bought the enchanted equipment, and spent all 5 of his Exchange Points. Wei Feng was calculative. He wanted to take the trial at the Royal Beast Pavilion, so he has to prepare equipment. This enchanted equipment will look decent enough. Ding! ¡­ Buzz! Grey light condensed in front of him, forming a set of clothes in front of him. Wei Feng hurriedly caught it. The material of the enchanted clothes appeared to be silk ¨C extra soft to the touch, with patterns and enchanting textures imprinted on it. It looked great. CH 118(end) Chapter 118: The Royal Beast Pavilion Wei Feng put on the set of clothes, and put on the jade pendants, waistbands and enchanted hair crown that came with the clothes. His entire appearance changed. He looked handsome. Earlier today, he looked like a beggar; now, he looked like he came from a royal family. Wei Feng was satisfied. With this outfit, it will be easier to do things. He walked through the street, and found a pawn shop. It was by the east of the city. Wei Feng walked in the pawn shop and removed the jade pendant. It was almost closing time, and the shop owner was counting bills in front of the counter. The shop owner looked at Wei Feng and immediately got up to greet him. ¡°Young man, how can I help you?¡± the boss greeted politely, and led Wei Feng to a table to sit. He then poured Wei Feng a cup of tea. From his perspective, he thought Wei Feng came from either royalty or was simply rich. Not everyone can afford clothes imbued with magic in them. Wei Feng sat down, then placed the jade pendant on the table, ¡°This is my jade pendant ¨C I need to exchange some money, please.¡± ¡°Right away, sir.¡± The shop owner scurried to the back without looking at the jade pendant, and came back with some spirit stones. He placed it on the table and said, ¡°It is my honor to help you ¨C my son, take the jade back. I do not need it. You can repay me at a later date.¡± Wei Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. His jade pendant was merely worth a few spirit stones ¨C but the shop owner was willing to take a gamble. If Wei Feng really did come from a rich and powerful family, then he could earn everything back, and gain Wei Feng¡¯s customer loyalty. ¡°Then, allow me to thank you. I¡¯m¡­ Qin Mingdi, and I¡¯ll definitely repay your generosity,¡± Wei Feng said, making up a name on the spot. Wei Feng grabbed the ten spirit stones and thanked the shop owner before leaving. With the stones, he could find an inn and eat and drink for a day. This wasn¡¯t enough to last him for a while, though. He walked around the city, and found that there was at least ten pawnshops in the city. He used the same method to ¡°sell¡± his jade pendants, and the results were the same. He managed to save his jade pendant, and obtained 113 spirit stones. It¡¯ll be enough to last him for a while. He found an inn to stay, and asked the attendant to bring him some food. He needed a good meal and a good night¡¯s rest after everything that had happened. He wanted to feel normal again. He can¡¯t let Lilith¡¯s sacrifice be in vain, so he must live well for her. He ate and drank, and slept until dawn. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. The lethargy in his body was swept away, and energy surged in his body. He washed up and had breakfast, and left the inn to find a library. He wants to learn about this world, and the library would be the easiest way. After spending a day at the library, Wei Feng learnt a lot. This world still had beasts in them, but it was different from his previous world. Beast Masters here do not summon beasts by opening star arrays, but capture or purchase eggs of the beasts themselves to obtain beasts. With the beasts¡¯ consent, as well. In addition, the beasts here are stronger than those in his previous world, but there were also less God-tier beasts. Being God-tier was standard in this world ¨C it is a starting point. Above God-tier, there were Greater Gods, Original Gods, True Gods¡­ ¡­ Evening came, and Wei Feng returned to the inn. He handed in another ten spirit stones, and stayed for another day, Morning came. Wei Feng got up early. Because the Royal Beast Pavilion is recruiting new disciples. Yesterday, he did some in-depth research on the Royal Beast Pavilion, which can be considered as the top three powers in the City of Floating Clouds. Moreover, there are abundant resources within the Royal Beast Pavilion, and there are many kinds of royal beasts with great potential. Many people compete to enter. However, the trials set by the pavilion was difficult. When Wei Feng arrived, there was already a long queue outside. Even if he got up early, there was already such a long queue. Wei Feng had no choice but to stand in line, listening to the conversations around him. Soon, the trials began. Wei Feng looked at the queue, and there really was too many people. Wei Feng shook his head ¨C he estimated that 90% will be rejected. There were three tests in the pavilion. The first was a test of strength ¨C only God-tier Beast Masters can pass. The second was a test of affinity for beasts. Lu Chen** understands that this test is simply whether or not there can be trust and understanding between the beast master and the beast. The third test was to form a contract for a beast. Many people failed to establish a contract with a beast. In addition to the beast master¡¯s personal charm, the beast master must be powerful and have great potential to grow. The third test is simply gauging the power of the beast master. ¡­ Soon, Wei Feng was tested. He passed the first test easily. He passed the second test easily. For the third test, he was sent to the mountains behind the Royal Beast Pavilion. There were many different beasts here ¨C wolves, tigers, lions, birds, etc. Almost all of them were strong, too. Wei Feng launched a contract a little wolf cub. It was an instant success. Ding! [NOTICE: You have obtained a Blue-Quality Royal Beast [Grey Wolf].] [NOTICE: You have completed Task #2 [Your First Beast].] Rewards: +10 Exchange Value, +1 Fusion Point. ¡­ With another mission completed, Lu Chen discovered another panel in his brain, which was the wolf¡¯s attribute panel. He smiled, and peered into the wolf¡¯s attribute panel. TN: I wasn¡¯t actually sure why Wei Feng¡¯s name switched to Lu Chen ¨C I went to check on the author¡¯s other works and sure enough, their next web-novel had a character named Lu Chen who was also forcibly ejected into a different world (lol), so I¡¯m guessing that Wei Feng had replaced the Lu Chen in this world, similar to how he replaced the original Wei Feng¡¯s body from Chapter 1 to end the story in a full-circle way. In This World of Beasts, I Am the Biggest BOSS! [END]
