n“That’s it? I’ve made it past this round?”

nAfter his surroundings changed, Ye Xuan found himself standing back at the space he had been training in before.

n

n

nLost in thought, he took the blade of Transformed Grass over from Tyrannosaurus.

nHe looked at it, then his face filled with glee.

nHe had not managed to make the Thundercloud Lightning Wings his beast.

nHowever, he had this blade of Transformed Grass in his hand. It was an evolutionary resource that could let the Thundercloud Lightning Wings advance in rank and stars, which was more than enough for him.

n

n

nThe only thing left now was a Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl.

nBut this was something that Lin Shiru had already said she could think of to help him obtain.

n“When I leave this place, I have to find a way to bond with that beast!”

nYe Xuan’s eyes twinkled.

n

n

nOnce the Thundercloud Lightning Wings advanced in stars and level, it would become a five-star Bronze beast.

nOne could only imagine how much this would benefit Ye Xuan.

n“Please choose your reward for the third round.”

nAt this time, the same voice rang out in Ye Xuan’s head again.

nYe Xuan blanched when he heard it.

nA bout of worry stirred in his chest abruptly.

n

n

nHe feared that there would be no end to this.

nThat he would have to keep clearing round after round.

nIf this continued, he would only tire himself out and waste away like a cow on fertile land, no matter how powerful he was.

nBut it was as if this voice could read his thoughts.

nAs soon as it spoke, it immediately continued, “Given your realm, this third round is the final one you can clear.

n“After you clear this round, you will become a Trial Taker and earn the Trial Taker’s token.

n“Trial Takers who have the token in hand can enter this space again before they break through to the next realm, to continue the trial at the Bronze level.

n“When the Trial Taker successfully makes it past all the rounds, they stand to earn the final reward—the Illuminating Spirit Monkey, a five-star Challenger-level Beast!”

n

n

n“I see!”

nYe Xuan was hit with an epiphany after the voice rang in his head.

nThe more he thought about it, the more the happiness swam in his chest.

nThe way he saw it, challenging these rounds was undeniably dangerous.

nDespite that, it held great meaning for him.

nJust like this time, where he had cleared two rounds in succession.

nAnd it had earned him two significant evolutionary resources.

nThe other thing was that he finally found the way to leave this Secret Realm after listening to this voice.

nAnd it set his heart at ease.

nHe was no longer on tenterhooks like he was before.

n…

n“What’s wrong? Is Ye Xuan not out yet?”

nOutside the wormhole, Lin Shiru was stomping. Compared to the day before, the look on her face was much worse.

n

n

nThe apprentice-level district, in general, did not require much time to clear.

nGiven Ye Xuan’s strength, an ominous feeling swelled in her chest when he had not emerged in such a long time.

n“Not yet.”

nQuestioned by Lin Shiru, Gu Qinghe had a similarly bad look on his face. “I’ve already sent people into the prohibited thunder zone, and I’ve even assigned some of them to search the area Ye Xuan disappeared from.

n“But that area’s already been sealed off.

n“There’s not a single other person there who can enter the Secret Realm as Ye Xuan can.”

n“I got it!”

nLin Shiru inhaled deeply.

nBut she could not think of any solution.

nAll she could do was continue waiting here.

nRing…

nJust then, her phone suddenly rang.

nShe picked it up and took a look at the caller and then accepted the call.

nInstantly, Nong Jiale’s voice rang out from the phone. “Miss Lin, this is Nong Jiale. I wanted to ask if Ye Xuan’s there.

n“His parents have been to our Beast Taming classes a few times these past few days to ask about him.”

nLin Shiru took another deep breath when she heard the question and then said, “Tell Ye Xuan’s parents that he’s currently in a Secret Realm right now, and he can’t come out.

n“I’ll bring him back to Jiangzhou as soon as possible once he’s out.”

n“I understand. I’ll relay the message!” Nong Jiale responded respectfully.

nHe hesitated for a while and then said again, “Another thing, Miss Lin. Due to the college entrance examinations being brought forward, the exchange between Beast Tamer classes in Yunhai City and Yunzhong City will be brought forward.

n“The students from the Beast Tamer class in Yunzhong City will come over tomorrow, so Miss Wu Fuyun wanted me to ask whether you know Ye Xuan will be able to attend the class tomorrow.”

n“Tomorrow? Can’t you ask me about this again tomorrow?” Lin Shiru immediately hung up when she heard him.

n“What’s the matter? She’s such a gentle person.”

nIn the Beast Tamer class in Yunhai City, Nong Jiale rubbed his bald head, confusion written all over his face.

n…

nOn Ancient God Planet.

nIn the Ancient God Plains.

nSomebody with a pale visage stood on their beast, the Two-Headed Bat, and escaped savagely from a valley.

nThis person was none other than the Eternal Night Clan’s Ye Qiushan, whom Ye Xuan had previously lied to.

nAfter Ye Qiushan escaped from the Valley of the Blue Snake, he risked a glance behind him.

nHe noticed that the people from the Silver Blood Clan, as well as those of the Welkin Crystal Race, had not yet chased after him, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

n“You, from Cerulean Planet!”

nThe moment barely lasted. A sliver of malice quickly replaced the relief that was on his face.

nThis time, the person from Cerulean Planet had truly played him for a fool.

nThere had been five or six other people from his clan standing beside him, but now he was the only one left.

nThe rest of the people had all died in the valley.

n“Back then, when we of the Eternal Night Clan allied with Cerulean Planet, we helped you lot out a great deal. To think you lot would look at us today without so much as an ounce of gratitude!”

nRoar!

nJust as Ye Qiushan was lost in his thought, a cacophonous roar suddenly rang out from a distance.

nHis heart seized when he heard this roar.

nHe turned around and instantly saw a white crane, about ten meters or so tall, standing in the distance. The crane brought along with it other tiny beasts, and they were all fighting an enormous, terrifying tiger.

n“Damn it!”

n“Another one from Cerulean Planet? Huh, that one looks like a Challenger-level Beast Tamer.”

nYe Qiushan blanched.

nHe did not expect his luck to be this bad.

nHis cultivation was at the Dark Iron level and had run into a Challenger-level Beast Tamer on the Ancient God Plains.”

nHe hurriedly spurred the Two-Headed Bat into action, flying away quickly.

nBut just as he ramped up the speed, he realized with a start that, without him noticing, the space around him had changed all of a sudden.

n“Huh?”

nA few seconds after he steered the Two-Headed Bat, he realized he had suddenly come right to the very front of a black palace.

nAt this moment, there were already hundreds of people from various clans in the palace who were storming the individual halls.

nThey were all fighting for the treasures in this palace.

n“Qiuyun?”

nAs he watched the group, Ye Qiushan suddenly noticed a very familiar face in the group.

nWhen he caught sight of her, his face immediately lit up with joy.

nHe immediately steered the Two-Headed Bat and flew to where the group was.

n“Qiushan? How did you end up like this?”

nSeeing Ye Qiushan in bad shape, the lady from the Eternal Night Clan looked a little surprised.

n“Qiuyun,” Ye Qiushan said with a savage look on his face, “I met a Beast Tamer from Cerulean Planet, and he’s the reason why I look like this now.”

nImmediately, he quickly explained what had happened in the valley earlier to the lady.

n“A Beast Tamer from Cerulean Planet?”

nThe lady’s face fell as well when she heard this.

nShe then turned her head and let her gaze fall on the dozen or so people who were hundreds of meters away.

nThese dozen or so people were, as it turned out, all Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers.

nAnd they were all women.

n“Let’s go. You want revenge, no?”

nThe lady huffed coldly. “As it turns out, these Cerulean Planet people are getting in the way!”

n“They’re from Cerulean Planet?”

nYe Qiushan was stunned.

nHe turned his head and looked and instantly saw that there were about a dozen women Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers in the palace who were gathered.

nThey commanded their own beasts and surrounded one of the miniature lakes by the palace.

nSuspended in the space above that lake was a peal that radiated brilliant silver and gold.

nEvery time it gave off that light, the light would fall into the lake below.

nAnd the crimson carps in the lake would fight for it.

nAt the same time, opposite the Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers group stood about a dozen other people.

nThese dozen or so people were all Silver Horn Beast Tamers who had a lone silver horn growing on their heads.

nObviously, these Silver Horn Beast Tamers were like the Beast Tamers from Cerulean Planet—they all had their eyes fixed on the mysterious pearl.

nThey were currently locking horns over it.

nAt the same time, Ye Qiushan also noticed something else.

nSurrounding these two factions were Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers, who were currently scattered about.

nTheir gazes were all, discreetly, on those Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers, as well as the Silver Horn Beast Tamers.

nObviously.

nBefore he even reached this place, his older sister Ye Qiuyun already had plans to strike against the Cerulean Planet and Silver Horn Beast Tamers.

nThings would not have been different even if he had not come.

n“Demon Centipede King!”

nThe savagery bled into his face, and he immediately summoned forth his most powerful beast from his Beast Ring.

nAn enormous, black centipede about seven or eight meters tall appeared right in front of him in an instant.

nIts thousand feet moved in unison, and it slithered along the palace and into the hidden corner where the group was, approaching the dozen Cerulean Planet women Beast Tamers.

nThose dozen Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers were all adolescents.

nOne look and it was obvious they were students from the same school.

nHe thought about how these dozen teenage Cerulean Planet girls were about to break in his own hands, and an indescribable joy immediately surged within him.

n…

n“The reward for the third round?”

nSimultaneously, in the Secret Realm, Ye Xuan once again looked at the screen in front of him, and then he made his choice.

nExcept this time, he did not choose the item that would allow Thundercloud Lightning Wings to increase in stars—the final Platinum evolutionary resource, the Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl.

nThe Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl could wait until he left this place.

nWith the amount of work he sank in this time, Lin Shiru would help him get the pearl.

nThis was why the item he picked this time was another Platinum treasure called the Phantom Orb of Sol.

n“A treasure like this will probably be useless for the Tidal Treasure Snail, right?”

nYe Xuan’s heart fluttered.

nUp until now, he was still hung up over the beast the Elder of Arrays mentioned.

nAccording to the Elder of Arrays, he would need a high-level treasure to find the Tidal Treasure Snail.

nHe reached a hand out.

nWith his index finger, he tapped on the monitor in front of him.
