Chapter 68 - Obtained, but Only a Little

Chapter 68: Obtained, but Only a Little

At this moment, in the outside world, the entrance to the relic was heavily surrounded.

The Yihuang Forest was a valley with only one entrance.

If one wanted to enter the relic, one could only enter from here and no other place.

“Zhou Xing is already out. Only Tang Quan and Wang Ye are left!” Lu Daying watched on with a grave expression.

Of the other Investigation Corps leaders, only Lin Rou had a grave expression on her face as well.

This was because the Beastmasters from the other Investigation Corps who had participated in the exploration of the relic had all come out safely.

Since the difficulty of the relic had suddenly increased, the danger within was naturally greatly increased as well.

“F*ck, the people of Qixing City are really unscrupulous!” He Xiong, who was at the side, cursed, “A provincial city like theirs has no less than ten relics and several cultivation treasures. The Tang Family is also one of the top families in Qixing City, but to think its junior came all the way to our small city to compete for relic resources. Where the f*ck is the reasoning in this?”

The rest of the people kept silent.

“Qixing City hasn’t been peaceful recently either,” Lu Daying shook his head slightly and said casually, “Quite a few Investigation Corps have suffered heavy losses in many large-scale dark fog secret realms. One large-scale secret realm hadn’t been completely cleared and still had a huge potential safety hazard. As a result, many students from the various universities who went to the secret realm to explore have died... The resources there are tight, so it’s normal for juniors to secretly come to our city to snatch resources. It’s just that the way they did it...”

Everyone was silent.

“Aren’t we going to extort the Tang Family for this?” He Xiong coldly snorted.

“We can’t. They just checked and found that Tang Quan’s identity was under a certain county. His identity had been transferred in advance. To put it bluntly, if we check, he’s from that county. Since that’s the case, he’s not in the wrong since he is indeed qualified to participate,” Lu Daying waved his hand, “The juniors of these big families are quite meticulous. They won’t leave too much evidence behind. We can only blame ourselves for not being cautious enough and running thorough background checks on the Beastmasters who participated.”

Nobody said anything.

“Then we can only suffer this loss?” Lin Rou frowned.

“Right now, we have to hope instead that he’s fine,” Lu Daying’s expression was solemn. “The appearance of strange gods in a stage of the relic is very strange. If something were to happen to the boy, the Tang Family might cause trouble for us. Tang Quan isn’t a simple existence in Qixing City. He is one of the junior geniuses that the Tang Family highly values.”

“...”

“To be honest, we’re all from Xinghai Province...” He Xiong said with a face flushed from anger, “Even if they want to come to the relic, they should at least say so. It’s not like Yaoguang City will disagree. This is just baffling. Why did they have to make their junior secretly suppress their strength to participate? The Tang Family has always valued its reputation. They are also one of the few large families in Qixing City, and quite a few of their members are Master investigators of the Qixing Investigation Corps. They have always been open and above board, yet their way of doing things this time around was just despicable. Many of their ancestors’ died in the dark fog. How could they do such a thing?”

“It should be possible that Tang Quan did it on his own accord, right?” Lu Daying muttered.

At this moment, the relic entrance lit up.

An elite and orderly team walked out.

This was the Yaoguang City’s Investigation Corps. They had suppressed their strength and forcefully entered the relic to conduct a search.

The danger level was actually very high. This was because due to the rules, they would have to clear the corresponding stages in the relic.

As a result, sometimes, they would not find the people they were after and were instead stuck in the stages. If they released their strength and were sensed by the rules of the relic, it would immediately increase the difficulty of the subsequent stages, which would be even more troublesome for them.

Therefore, unless one was an experienced investigator, one wouldn’t dare to enter the relic to search for people.

Fortunately, Tang Quan had appeared on the team.

“You found him?” Lu Daying was taken aback.

“Dojo Master Lu...” The team leader of the search and rescue team walked up and said helplessly, “He came out by himself. According to him, he passed the fifth stage and obtained the soul fire.”

Everyone fell silent.

The fifth stage!

The difficulty of the stages in the relic this time was extremely high. The Beastmasters from their city had at most reached the fourth stage and couldn’t even clear that stage.

Yet, Tang Quan had cleared the fifth stage directly.

Moreover, he even obtained the crimson flame phoenix’s soul fire!

The Hundred Birds Meeting was held every year. It had been decades since a Beastmaster had obtained the crimson flame phoenix’s soul fire.

To think a prodigy of Qixing City had just come casually and obtained it.

Although it was true that there was a huge difference in the Beastmasters’ strength, wasn’t it a tad too great?

However, Tang Quan’s expression didn’t look too good.

“You’re Tang Quan?” He Xiong walked over and cursed, “Brat, are you trying to f*cking kill Yaoguang City’s Beastmasters? Don’t you know that the difficulty of the stages inside will increase if you go in? How are you going to let the newbie Beastmasters of our city survive in there? Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re from the Tang Family. F*ck, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re a junior, I’d beat you up right now!”

“Huh?” Tang Quan was taken aback. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at He Xiong suspiciously as he asked, “What do you mean? Newbie Beastmasters? All those who participated in the exploration of the relic were newbie Beastmasters?”

“Who else?” He Xiong frowned, “Most of them are new beastmasters with level one or two pets. Kid, are you pretending to not know?”

Tang Quan’s pupils immediately shook.

Wang Jiang is a newbie beastmaster?

F*ck!

Is this even reasonable?

“I don’t believe it!” Tang Quan said in a trembling voice, “That’s impossible! No matter how bad your Beastmasters are, there should be excellent students from Yaoguang University, senior investigators, or elites from the dojo, right? How can there be newbies? How dare you allow newbies to enter such a relic?”

“Of course there are newbies!” He Xiong snorted coldly, “It’s just that most of them were eliminated, and quite a few were injured. Fortunately, those newbies were smart enough to withdraw early. Only the ones who made it to the later stages were the elites that you mentioned.”

Hearing this, Tang Quan let out a breath that he had been holding.

His heart almost shattered.

If Wang Jiang was a newbie Beastmaster, he felt that he wouldn’t have to live anymore.

“Who said that?” Lin Rou raised her eyebrows, “Wang Ye is a newbie Beastmaster, and he hasn’t come out yet.”

“Oh!” He Xiong was stunned, then nodded, “Indeed. That kid is indeed a newbie who just became a Beastmaster for a few months. He hasn’t come out yet. I do wonder what stage he’s in now. With his strength, based on his performance in the Sealed-demon Sword Tomb, he should be in the fourth stage right now. He shouldn’t be able to fight those strange gods, though. He hasn’t fought with strange gods before, right? There aren’t any strange gods in the Sealed-demon Sword Tomb either.”

“He has,” Lin Rou said, “When he first went on a relic investigation, he encountered a hornless white python fighting with a low-level strange god which he then killed the strange god while it was injured.”

“Hey, is that even comparable?” He Xiong waved his hand. “In a one-on-one fight, how can a strange god be so easily killed?”

From their point of view, Tang Quan should have been the one who had first cleared the stages.

“Wang Ye?” Tang Quan was dazed for a second as if he had discovered a blind spot.

Hmm, that guy probably had nothing to do with Wang Jiang...

“That might not be the case. I keep feeling that his green sparrow has the ability to fight against strange gods,” Lin Rou said, shaking her head, “He will at most be stuck at the fifth stage because his body is weak. The fifth stage is the hardest since it’s a huge test for the Beastmasters.”

“Wait?” Tang Quan grasped the key information, “What did you say? A green sparrow? Wang Ye’s pet is a green sparrow?”

“That’s right. Why, did you meet him?” Lin Rou looked at Tang Quan.

“Is he an extremely handsome person who loves money like his life?” Tang Quan asked, “And his green sparrow has a fierce personality and is fearless.”

“Hmm?” Lin Rou said in surprise, “You did meet him? That shouldn’t be...”

Tang Quan’s vision went black, and he almost fainted.

Was that guy really a newbie Beastmaster?

F*ck, a newbie Beastmaster was able to nurture a pet with peak mastery realm skills? And the pet was even able to defeat a level three pet? While it was just a green sparrow?

“Impossible... a newbie who had just been a Beastmaster for a few months...” Tang Quan shook his head, looking absent-minded.

He himself had been a Beastmaster for more than a year now.

“This kid suddenly became dumb,” He Xiong said to the crowd, “Just baffling.”

“...” Everyone.

“Your city has such an awesome newbie Beastmaster. That guy cleared the fifth stage in perfect condition. Yet you’re asking me why I’m doing this to your Beastmasters?” Tang Quan looked at Lu Daying and the others, his expression somewhat gloomy.

“Hmm?” Everyone was stunned.

“The fifth stage?” Lu Daying’s body trembled, “You’re saying that Wang Ye is in the fifth stage?”

“To be precise, he’s already met the ancient tung tree spirit.”

Everyone was silent for a while.

Then, Lu Daying suddenly clapped his hands, “Genius! A genius! Our city finally has a genius Beastmaster!”

Lin Rou was also extremely shocked.

Was Wang Ye really that powerful?

It couldn’t be denied that he had great potential, but he had only become a Beastmaster for a few short months and had yet to fully develop.

Lin Rou didn’t understand.

Tang Quan thought to himself, well, he had obtained the soul fire in advance though, so that kid didn’t have a chance.

Although he had paid a price of over ten million, it was nothing in exchange for an opportunity like the soul fire.

With the soul fire of the crimson flame phoenix, his cloud bluebird would have the potential to evolve into a higher-class pet.

Tang Quan did not it out loud though. After all, this resource belonged to another city’s relic. It wouldn’t be wise to say anything here.

Moreover, he had stolen this genius’s resource.

At this moment, a clear and loud cry suddenly sounded from the relic that was surrounded by high walls.

Soon after, a gigantic crimson flame phoenix appeared in the sky of the Yihuang Forest in the valley.

Even they, who were outside the relic, could clearly see it!

Seeing this scene, everyone was instantly stunned, then burst into an uproar!

“The crimson flame phoenix!”

“Someone obtained the inheritance!”

“Holy shit, who is it? Who’s so awesome?”

“Didn’t they say that someone from Qixing City sneaked in disguised as a Beastmaster from our city? Could it be...”

“Isn’t that person out already? Who else is in the relic?”

The Beastmasters who had already been eliminated discussed animatedly.

Only Lu Daying and the others stared at Tang Quan, then looked into the distance.

Tang Quan was already out, so only Wang Ye was left.

As such, only Wang Ye could obtain the inheritance.

His pet was but a green sparrow.

At this moment, they felt extremely shocked, but at the same time, they also felt that it was a little ridiculous: Was the crimson flame phoenix stupid? Did it pass down its inheritance to a green sparrow?

Tang Quan was also stunned.

That guy did obtain the inheritance?

“The phoenix is definitely stupid...” Tang Quan’s eyes seemed to have lost their focus, “The crimson flame phoenix is a Myth-class pet, but to think it passed down its inheritance to a green sparrow... Is the bloodline inheritance so easy?”

He shook his head, not quite daring to believe it, and stumbled away.

Not long after, under everyone’s silence and shocked gazes, Wang Ye walked out.

“Why are all of you gathered here?” As soon as Wang Ye came out, he saw that the entrance was surrounded by people.

“Wang Ye, just now, the crimson flame phoenix showed its true form above the relic,” Lin Rou immediately walked over, holding her breath. “Did your green sparrow receive the bloodline inheritance of the crimson flame phoenix?”

Wang Ye thought for a moment and said honestly, “Yes, but only a little.”

“...” Everyone.
