"Alright, mom. I'll book the tickets right away. If there is a suitable flight, perhaps we might even make it in time for dinner at great-aunt's place."

Zhang Che knew his mother would be impatient.

It was understandable if you thought about it. Other than himself, she was Sun Lan's only relative in the world, and it was the kind that had been separated for decades, not knowing if the other was still alive. Having suddenly obtained contact, how could she remain calm and not want to meet the other immediately?

"Xiaoche, you silly boy. It's already afternoon. How can we still make it in time for dinner at your great-aunt's?" Sun Lan couldn't help, but find it strange. There were over ten thousand kilometers between Bei Du and Tian Xing. Even if they set off right away, it would be midnight by the time they reached there. How could they still make it in time for dinner?

Zhang Che smiled and replied, "Mom, we're not taking ordinary planes, but sky shuttles. Two hours should be enough."

Zhang Che had already made the relevant searches on his personal terminal. Tian Xing City was also one of Hua Xia region's first-rate cities, and sky shuttle flights were available between the two cities. Therefore, naturally he wouldn't choose to travel by ordinary flights. In any case, the cost for taking the sky shuttle was only peanuts compared to his current wealth. He wouldn't mind the little bit of money.

"Ah?" Sun Lan was taken aback. "We're taking the sky shuttle? Wouldn't it be expensive… alright then. We'll take that…"

Just as Sun Lan was about to say that the tickets for sky shuttle flights were too expensive, she gave in after remembering about her son's wealth.

Zhang Che immediately opened up his personal terminal and started checking on whether there was any sky shuttle flights from Bei Du to Tian Xing today. To his pleasant surprise, he discovered that there was a flight at 3 PM sharp with seats available.

The special model personal terminal his father-in-law got for him allowed Zhang Che to directly book the tickets, unlike ordinary people who had to personally go to a ticketing center.

Thus, Zhang Che booked two sky shuttle tickets to Tian Xing City without hesitation.

With the two new beastly cars delivered, Zhang Che didn't have to take taxis anymore. He called Liu Gang over and had him act as a driver for once.

Seeing Liu Gang coming over from the neighboring villa and acting so respectfully to Zhang Che, Sun Lan couldn't help but reveal a hint of strangeness on her face.

When they got in the car, Sun Lan realized the front and the back of the car was soundproofed. She finally couldn't hold her curiosity in and asked about Liu Gang's identity.

Zhang Che then explained to Sun Lan, telling her that he was a bodyguard specially sent by Huang Juyun to keep her safe. He also told her that if she wanted to go out in the future, she could ask Liu Gang and the others to drive her. This was the best way to guarantee her safety.

After hearing Zhang Che's explanation, Sun Lan fell silent for a while. She suddenly said, "Xiaoche, mom knows that you would surely make some enemies while you try to make a living outside. You must look after yourself. You don't have to worry about me. With Tielan's father's arrangements, nothing will happen."

Zhang Che knew Sun Lan must have sensed something. He nodded heavily and replied, "Don't worry, mom. Nothing will happen to me."

With the Myriad Transformation Lizard, he could take on the appearance of anyone (including women). Zhang Che wasn't scared of the Japanese Miyazaki clan. If they had the abilities, just try to find him in the beast world!

——

The ferocious car sped along, and soon drove out of the city, heading for the airport that wasn't too far away.

Suddenly, Zhang Che felt vibrations from his personal terminal. He raised his wrist and saw that it was actually a call from an unknown number.

-Hmm? Who could it be?- Zhang Che couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Not many people knew his phone number. Who could be on the other end of the line?

He hurriedly accepted the call, and a boorish, unrestrained voice immediately rang out, "Hahahaha, I knew you were alright, Brother Zhang Che. It's been a few days; how have you been?"

Zhang Che immediately came to a realization after hearing the voice. He smiled and replied, "Hah, so it's Big Brother Luo. You're safe, too! That's great!"

Luo Wenjun continued cheerfully, "I know, right? I almost didn't make it out alive! Bloody hell, your daddy won't go to such places anymore. Let alone not gaining much, I almost lost my life in there!"

"Uh-hrm!" Zhang Che couldn't help, but cough dryly. He saw his mother's expression had changed, and subtly reminded Luo Wenjun that some things couldn't be said.

Luo Wenjun quickly became aware. He hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Brother Zhang Che, where are you staying? This brother is free for the next few days. How about I come find you for some drinks?"

"Ai, what a bad coincidence," Zhang Che sighed, "I happened to have some things going on for the upcoming few days and won't be home. I need to go to Tian Xing City to take care of some matters. Why don't I go look for you when I'm done? How about that?"

Zhang Che was deeply grateful towards Luo Wenjun.

Back in the secret plane, at the green lands, if it wasn't for Luo Wenjun stopping Zhang Che in time, perhaps he would have been swept away by that black gale, leaving not a tiny bit of himself behind.

Let alone him saving Zhang Che's life, Luo Wenjun's character was worth getting to know, too.

"Where did you say you're going?" Luo Wenjun's tone was a little higher after hearing what Zhang Che said.

"Tian Xing City. I'm going to look for a long lost relative. I'm setting off at 3 PM."

As Zhang Che answered, he thought to himself, -It can't be so coincidental, right?-

Indeed, Luo Wenjun roared out in laughter on the other end, "Hahahaha, what a coincidence, Brother Zhang. I am from Tian Xing City!"

-What the heck, isn't this too much of a coincidence…-

"No need to say anything more, Brother Zhang. You're coming by the sky shuttle at 3 PM, right? Haha, I'll go pick you up at the airport and throw you a welcoming dinner! That's it for now; I still have to go make some preparations!"

Done speaking, Luo Wenjun didn't allow Zhang Che any chance to reject and directly ended the call.

Zhang Che rubbed his nose, speechless.

He looked up to his mother and asked, "Mom, you didn't ask great-aunt to receive us at the airport, did you?"

Sun Lan nodded, "Mhm, I was afraid of disrupting your call with your friend and sent a message to your great-aunt, telling her about us taking the sky shuttle at 3 PM to Tian Xing City. She said that she's coming to pick us up."

Well, it seemed like he had no choice, but to let Luo Wenjun make a wasted trip. He'd have to go visit him and apologize when he was done with reuniting with his long-lost relative.

"Xiaoche, promise mother that you won't risk your life casually, alright? You're already very successful," Sun Lan pleaded, looking at Zhang Che.

-I knew it…-

Zhang Che cursed inside at Luo Wenjun's loud mouth. He nodded and assured her sincerely, "Don't worry, mom. I'll definitely not go to those dangerous places in the future. It's actually just a little incident that time. It's not very dangerous."

Sun Lan didn't harp on it. She only said indistinctly, "I'm not trying to interfere with your career. I just hope that you will think about Miss Tielan and I when you're outside."

-Ugh, is this considered a binding reminder?-

Zhang Che could only nod heavily once more, assuring her that he wouldn't risk himself easily.

The car had reached the Bei Du airport.

There was not much time left until 3 PM.

After Zhang Che and Sun Lan alighted the car, they directly entered the departure hall. After verifying their tickets, they were brought to the boarding gate under the guidance of the staffers and boarded the plane.

It was the first time Sun Lan had taken the sky shuttle. Some anxiety was visible on her face.

Zhang Che smiled faintly and assured her, "Don't worry, mom. The sky shuttle is much faster than ordinary airplanes. We'll arrive at Tian Xing City in two hours or so, and we'll see great-aunt and the others then."

Sun Lan's complexion turned a little better after hearing what Zhang Che said. At the same time, her eyes shone with anticipation.

Other than her son, they were her only kin in the world. In the past, she even thought that there was no way she would see her aunt in this life again. She didn't expect there would be such an opportunity again.

———-

At 3 PM sharp…

The sky shuttle's jet engine were fired up. The thick and strongly built aircraft entered the runway, its speed increasing swiftly. In the end, the nose of the plane tipped up slightly, officially soaring into the sky.

After rising ten thousand meters into the air, the sky shuttle's rocket accelerator began to take over the jet engine's job, instantly driving the aircraft ahead even more strongly. Its speed continued climbing from Mach 1, gradually rising to Mach 2, Mach 3…

Sun Lan, who was taking the sky shuttle for the first time, looked out of the window. When she saw the clouds below passing by so quickly, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The sky shuttle is really fast!"

Zhang Che smiled and said, "Mom, we're only flying within the atmosphere. If it was a longer distance flight, the feeling is even greater when flying in outer space!"

The distance between Bei Du to Tian Xing City was only ten thousand-plus kilometers. The sky shuttle only needed two hours or so to reach the destination, even though it was only flying in the atmosphere. Therefore, in order to save fuel, the sky shuttle wouldn't actually enter outer space.

"Dididi, danger spotted ahead. Please exit the atmosphere to evade!"

"Dididi, danger spotted ahead. Please exit the atmosphere to evade!"

"Dididi, danger spotted ahead…."

At this moment, the smart radar in the sky shuttle's pilot cabin started flashing madly, and an electronic voice warned out three times in a row!

The crew quickly reacted to this. While preheating the remaining accelerator, they broadcast to the passengers, "Dear passengers, please put on your seat belts immediately. The aircraft will be entering outer space promptly!

"Dear passengers, please put on your seat belts immediately. The aircraft will be entering outer space promptly!

"Dear passengers, please put on your seat belts immediately. The aircraft will be entering outer space promptly!"

The passengers revealed frightened looks one after another, and quickly put on their seat belts.

"Mom, quickly fasten your seat belt. There might be some unexpected situation ahead," Zhang Che said to Sun Lan as he put on his seat belt.

Sun Lan's expression darkened slightly. She asked Zhang Che, "Xiaoche, will we be in danger?"

At this moment, the passengers felt the aircraft suddenly accelerating again. The nose of the plane tilted up, directly heading towards outer space.

Zhang Che smiled and consoled Sun Lan, saying, "There won't be any danger, mom. There aren't many exotic beasts that can catch up to the sky shuttle. Also, once the sky shuttle enters outer space, not even the strongest exotic beasts dare to give chase."

Just as he finished talking, Zhang Che's face sank.

Through the windows, at the skies ahead, but several thousand meters lower, Zhang Che clearly saw a few huge fireballs suddenly explode.

"My god, what is that!?"

"Some ordinary flights exploded from attacks from exotic beasts! From the looks of it, even the escort fighter jets were destroyed at the same time!"

"How powerful must that exotic beast be, to destroy several fighter jets at the same time!?"

The masses of fireballs exploded one after another. They were especially eye-catching from the sky. At least half of the passengers in the sky shuttle witnessed the unforgettable scene.

Almost everyone revealed looks of horror, and started getting into discussions, guessing if the sky shuttle they were in would be able to avoid the terrifying exotic beast ahead.

Sun Lan witnessed the disaster, and overhearing the nearby passengers guessing uneasily, her complexion turned ugly once more. "Xiaoche, will we be alright?"

"No need to worry, mom. We're taking the sky shuttle. It will be fine!" Zhang Che patted the back of his mother's hand, consoling her. However, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Having his eyesight improved by the golden vortex in his spiritual sea, it allowed Zhang Che to faintly see that a few ghostly silhouettes seemed to have flashed past the area ahead where the disaster had happened, and were chasing in their direction.

Gods knew what exotic beast that was; its strength had reached such a terrifying level!

Truthfully speaking, this time Zhang Che didn't dare guarantee if the sky shuttle could successfully shake those ghostly silhouettes off.

However, right now they were over ten thousand meters in the air. Other than praying for the sky shuttle to quickly reach outer space, there was nothing Zhang Che could do.

The flight crew seemed to have noticed the great danger ahead. The sky shuttle ran at its maximum thrust, flying nearly straight up towards outer space.

Everyone felt their hearts tightening, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests. It was hard to breathe.

While the flight crew piloted the aircraft to fly towards outer space, they watched the situation outside anxiously through the screen. The few ghostly silhouettes were chasing relentlessly behind the sky shuttle like black bolts of lightning.

"Hurry, speed up! Operate all the rocket accelerators at overload!" the captain of the sky shuttle, a middle-aged man, shouted with a dark expression.

"But Captain, there's a high chance the rocket accelerators will be irreversibly damaged, or even have to be directly written off!" The crew in charge of operating the engines was a little hesitant.

"Then do you want to go with maybe dying, or dying right now?! Fucking accelerate, NOW!" the captain roared, glaring at that crew member.

On the surveillance monitor, the black silhouettes were slowing closing in on the sky shuttle!

"Yes, captain!" that crew member answered with his eyes red, his hands flying into motion.

In the next moment, the few massive rocket accelerators at the tail end of the sky shuttle suddenly shot out deep blue tails of flames. The aircraft suddenly accelerated again, and finally broke through the atmosphere just as the few black silhouettes were about to catch up, entering outer space.

Seeing the sky shuttle enter outer space, the few ghostly black silhouettes let out unwilling roars and finally gave up on the chase.

"They stopped chasing!"

"We're safe!"

The entire crew cheered out loud.

At the same time, the speakers in the passenger cabin rang out.

"Dear esteemed passengers, the aircraft has officially entered outer space. The situation is resolved. We wish everyone a happy journey for the remainder of the flight."

The passenger cabin went silent for two seconds, followed by an eruption of excited cheers.

Sun Lan showed a smile of rejoice. She turned to Zhang Che and said, "Xiaoche, we're finally safe!"

Zhang Che nodded heavily, "Yes, we're safe now, mom. I told you, you don't have to worry. It's almost impossible to find exotic beasts capable of catching up to the sky shuttle."

Chapter 317: It's Especially Tear-Jerking When Relatives Meet

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

At the reception hall of Tian Xing City airport…

As 5 PM drew closer and closer, Sun Shaoying lost her calm. She would stand up from her seat from time to time, looking towards the arrival gate in anticipation.

Sun Shaoying's husband, Xi Hai, had worked as an ordinary civil servant for the city administration office for his entire life. He had a rather steady personality. Seeing his wife pacing back and forth before him, he couldn't help but crease his brow and reminded her, "Shaoying, just sit down and wait patiently. The plane hasn't arrived yet. Looking over doesn't do anything."

"Ai, it's not your niece, so you're not anxious, are you? Listen here…"

Sun Shaoying nearly exploded, glaring at her spouse, wanting to call him out.

"Aiya, mom, look at where we are. Don't be bickering like you do at home," their daughter, Xi Muyun, hurriedly urged them to stop, seeing as they were about to start arguing.

At this moment, Xi Muyun's five-year-old daughter, Lin Xin'er also widened her eyes and said seriously, "Grandpa, grandma, don't quarrel. Teacher said that those who like to quarrel are bad children."

Sun Shaoying hurriedly put on a smile and came over to caress her granddaughter's head. She said gently, "Good girl, Xin'er. Grandma and Grandpa aren't quarreling. We're all good children."

Lin Xin'er nodded seriously and said without missing a beat, "That's more like it!"

"Haha.. hehe.."

The three of them were brought to laughter instantly, each of them covering their mouths, giggling.

"Eh? Shaoying, you're here to receive someone, too? I've never heard of you having any relatives outside the city?"

At this moment, an older woman similar to Sun Shaoying cried out in shock. Moments later, she walked over from the side.

"Oh, your whole family is here, except for Wenshan. Looks like you're really here to receive your relative!"

As that middle-old-aged woman decorated in jewely walked over, Xi Hai's entire family stood up. Sun Shaoying replied with a smile, "Ah, my niece is coming from Bei Du to visit me. It's been decades since we met. Sister Guo is also here to catch someone's flight?"

"Right, an important client of our company rushed over from Bei Du to talk about a huge deal. That's why I came to receive his flight."

Sister Guo had a proud look on her face. She feigned to not pay any attention and asked, "Eh, you have a niece? You haven't met for decades, and she's coming over to visit you specially, how hard must it be? But it's really very dangerous to take airplanes nowadays. I just heard the news that a flight, along with its convoy from Bei Du, was blown up by exotic beasts. There was not a single survivor. How tragic!"

Sun Shaoying's complexion suddenly darkened when she heard that. Her heart leapt into her throat.

Xi Muyun hurriedly assured, "It's fine, mom. Didn't cousin say she's taking the sky shuttle? I've never heard of a sky shuttle being attacked by exotic beasts. Don't worry."

It was only now that Sun Shaoying realized that. She patted her chest, still feeling the lingering fear and chuckled, "Look at me, getting confused because of my anxiety. I forgot Xiaolan and her son were taking the sky shuttle."

Sister Guo's eyes lit up. "Hm? Shaoying, looks like that long lost niece of yours is doing pretty well. Not everyone can afford to take the sky shuttle! Do you know what she does? How about introducing her to me later?"

Sun Shaoying smiled in embarrassment, "I don't know, either. We only reconnected today. It's been decades since we met; I don't even know what she looks like now."

"Huh, then this niece of yours is at fault. Since she's doing so well, how could she not visit her relatives for so many years?" Sister Guo said righteously.

Sun Shaoying's family knitted their eyebrows slightly, but it wasn't good to speak about it in detail. Only Sun Shaoying started to respond to her.

At this moment, an announcement was made through the speakers in the hall. "The flight K-302 from Bei Du to Tian Xing has safely arrived. Friends and relatives here to receive them please maintain order and do not push around, to prevent affecting the normal traffic in the hall."

"The flight K-302 from…"

"Ah, my client is about to arrive. Let's talk again some time, Shaoying."

Sister Guo's eyes immediately lit up. She waved at Sun Shaoying's family and walked towards the hall ahead with two staffers following behind her.

Xi Muyun looked at Sun Shaoying and said happily, "Mom, this is the flight cousin is taking, right? Remember to contact her later, or we might not recognize one another."

Sun Shaoying was so agitated that her body was trembling slightly. She hurriedly nodded in response, "Right, right. Back then when your Uncle and Aunt left Tian Xing City with your cousin, she was only as old as Xin'er. She must not remember what I look like."

As she spoke, she opened up her personal terminal and called Sun Lan. After the call was connected, she told Sun Lan where they were at, and what outfit they were wearing.

After ending the call, although she knew for sure that her niece would exit from the hall ahead soon, Sun Shaoying grew so agitated that her eyes were turning red.

A few minutes later, at the passage ahead, a few dozen people turned the corner and came walking towards the arrival hall.

"They're here, they're here!"

Sun Shaoying wanted to go over immediately, but she quickly remembered that the opposite party might not recognize her at all. It was better to wait right here, or her niece might not find her.

"Aiya, Director Xiang, you're finally here!" Sister Guo went up to a couple together with her two followers. After shaking hands passionately, she spread her arm and invited them, saying, "Come, this way please. I've already booked a table at Tian Xiang Restaurant. We're just waiting for your grand arrival!"

On the other side, Zhang Che also walked out from the crowd holding his mother's arm.

Sun Lan swept her gaze across the hall, and soon her eyes settled on Sun Shaoying's family.

"Mom, is it that way?" Zhang Che asked. Sun Lan didn't answer him. Her body shook nervously, and she directly walked towards Sun Shaoying.

In the large hall, Sun Shaoying watched as a middle-aged woman who bore a resemblance to her deceased brother and sister-in-law walking in their direction, along with a tall, burly youth. Her eyes immediately reddened.

Sun Shaoying took two steps forward and asked in a shaky voice, "Ar-are you Xiaolan?"

Tears immediately fell from Sun Lan's eyes. She quickly walked forward and hugged Sun Shaoying, crying, "Aunt, it's me. It's me! I'm Xiaolan! Wuhuu…"

"Aiya, my poor Xiaolan…"

The two embraced each other, crying in one another's arms.

At this moment, Xi Muyun hurriedly came up and persuaded, "Mom, co-cousin, let's go back first."

It was only now that the two elders remembered they were in public. They quickly stopped their crying. The two families introduced themselves, and walked out to the main hall.

"Can I call you Brother Zhang Che? Do I get any presents?"

Lin Xin'er walked beside Zhang Che, looking up at him. Her round eyes were filled with excitement.

Zhang Che was immediately caught in an awkward position. He came here in a hurry; where would he find the time to prepare any presents?

"Uh, hehe, I didn't have time to prepare any presents. But, we'll go buy them later, alright? I'll buy Xin'er whatever present she wants."

Lin Xin'er blinked her round eyes in succession, then extended her little soft, white hand out and held it in a fist, with her pinky sticking out. She said seriously, "Here, pinky swear!"

Zhang Che had no choice but to extend his own pinky out and hooked it with Lin Xin'er's pinky, shaking them. He felt his head swelling; this little doll was truly blunt, asking for a present the moment they met!

Seeing the big and small children pinky swearing seriously, the two families laughed out happily.

Chapter 318: News of an Epic-Quality Exotic Beast

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

At this moment, Sister Guo passed by with her client. She looked curiously at Sun Lan and Zhang Che, and casually asked Sun Shaoying, "Hey, Shaoying, now that you received your niece, do you want me to give you a lift in my company car?"

"It's fine. Lin Quan is coming to come fetch us when he knocks off work," Sun Shaoying smiled, rejecting Sister Guo's goodwill.

"Aiya, how can Lin Quan's car hold so many of you? Our company drove two cars here. I'll have one of them send you later. Let's settle on that. I still have to attend to my client; I'll get going first."

Done speaking, Sister Guo turned to one of her attendants and instructed them. Afterwards, she nodded at Sun Shaoying's group and walked out to the main lobby.

Sun Shaoying was helpless. She could only watch as Sister Guo's attendant followed after them.

Sun Lan asked in a whisper, "Aunt, who was that? Why is she being so friendly?"

Sun Shaoying pursed her lips. "She's an old neighbor. Her family moved away after their business succeeded and became rich. Although she likes showing off and her words are a little mean sometimes, she's still an alright person."

As the aunt and niece duo chatted, the group exited the arrival hall.

Since Xi Muyun's husband, Lin Quan, wasn't there yet, everyone waited for him at the main lobby.

At this moment, a fleet of cars suddenly drove in, drawing the attention of everyone.

The fleet wasn't big; only five cars. However, two of them were the newer beastly car models. One look and you'd know it was a telling sign of a super wealthy family. Let alone owning one, even seeing one was rare for the common people.

The car door opened. A tall and muscular man alighted, walking straight towards Zhang Che's group. He laughed out from afar, "Hahaha, I'm sorry, Brother Zhang Che. I was stuck in traffic for a bit. Luckily I made it in time nonetheless; you're still here. If not, this brother wouldn't have the face to show himself."

Sun Shaoying's family was dumbstruck.

The two elders weren't affected. However, Xi Muyun knew who this muscular man was. He was the youngest son of the most influential family in the Tian Xing City, the Luo family. What exactly did this never-met-before nephew do for a living, that he would know a huge figure of this level?

Zhang Che hurriedly walked up and smiled, "Big Brother Luo is really too polite. For you to come to receive me personally, this brother is really overwhelmed by your favor!"

"Hahaha, it's rare for Brother Zhang to come to this one surnamed Luo's territory. If I didn't come to receive you, how would I show my face outside if this gets out? Come, come, get in the car quickly. I already reserved the top level private room of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. They're just waiting to start serving."

Xi Muyun received another shock after hearing this.

-Looks like cousin's son is truly remarkable, to have the Luo family's fourth young master reserve the top floor of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to receive him. It seems like their relationship is rather extraordinary.-

Luo Wenjun invited the group to get in the car warmly. Sun Shaoying was a little awkward, however. Although she didn't know Luo Wenjun, she could tell from the imposing fleet that this young man before her wasn't simple.

But, her son-in-law was already on the way here…

Xi Muyun poked her mother lightly, whispering, "Mom, just let Lin Quan drive over by himself."

The group got into the two beastly cars, and soon the fleet drove out of the airport under the envious gazes of the onlookers, heading straight in Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant's direction.

Of the two cars, Sun Lan was with Sun Shaoying's family in one, while Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun were in the other.

In the car, with no outsiders around, Xi Muyun voiced her questions, "Cousin, what does Xiaoche do? He's actually acquainted with the fourth young master of our Tian Xing City's Luo family?"

Sun Lan was a little confused. "Is that person's family powerful?"

To be honest, after Zhang Che casually buying two of those beastly cars earlier, Sun Lan wasn't very surprised to be sitting in these cars now. As such, she also wasn't curious about Luo Wenjun's status.

In her mind, even her son could buy two of these cars without thinking much about it. Naturally his friends could also afford such cars. Wasn't that right?

Xi Muyun nodded, "They're not just powerful. They're VERY powerful. Their Luo family is the most powerful family in our Tian Xing City. They hold great influence in politics, the army, and the commercial sectors."

-How do they compare to my daughter-in-law's family?- Sun Lan thought to herself. Her expression remained unchanged, saying, "Oh. I'm not sure, either. I think he's a friend Xiaoche made while making a living in the beast world. Anyway, I don't usually ask him about these matters."

"Woah, is Xiaoche that amazing? He doesn't even look to be over twenty! And he got to know such powerful people in the beast world! Then he must be very strong himself?"

Women seemed to be born with the interest to gossip. No matter young or adult, or even straight up old, they couldn't extinguish their burning desire to gossip.

"Xiaoche? I'm not sure about his exact strength. I think he's already a mid-tier beastmaster?"

Speaking of this, Sun Lan felt very proud of her son.

——

While the family chatted happily, in the other car, Zhang Che was shocked by the bomb of information Luo Wenjun threw at him.

"You're saying your subordinate discovered an epic-quality beast in the beast world who is about to give birth? Why are you telling this to me?"

Zhang Che found it very strange. Shouldn't he report such a huge opportunity to his family? With the Luo family's strength, they should be able to assemble a powerful team easily and go slay that epic-quality beast who was about to give birth.

Although Luo Wenjun and he got along well, their relationship wasn't THAT great, was it?

Luo Wenjun smiled bitterly and explained, "Brother, I have three older brothers above me, and even more cousins. Let's say that I reported this news to the family; what would I get? At the most I'll only be rewarded with some purple crystal points. But am I someone who lacks money?"

Zhang Che immediately came to a realization. It was nothing more than power struggle within a large family.

He wasn't interested in getting involved in those matters, but asked worriedly, "Then, is that epic-quality exotic beast mid-tier or high-tier? We can give it a try if it is mid-tier. But if it is a high-tier beast, we can just forget about it. Even though the exotic beast would slip into a weakened state after giving birth, it is definitely not something we can win against."

Seeing Zhang Che acting so calm, Luo Wenjun immediately felt assured. He said, "That I am not sure about. But I remember your ice dragon is very fast. So, escaping is not a problem, even if we can't win against it. With such an opportunity before your eyes, can you bear to give up without giving it a try?"

Seeing Luo Wenjun staring at him so intently, Zhang Che considered it for a while. He didn't accept directly. Instead, he said, "I ask for Brother Luo to give me a night's time to consider such a huge matter. I'll give you an answer tomorrow no matter how it goes, alright?"

"Great!" Luo Wenjun slapped his thigh joyfully. "With your word on this, this brother is assured!"

Zhang Che finally understood why Luo Wenjun was insistent on coming to receive him. This fellow obviously came because of that epic-quality exotic beast!

It was understandable when he thought about it. He was here to visit his relatives, and they would surely be here to receive him. No matter how hospitable the Luo family's fourth young master was, he wouldn't have overstepped his place and come to receive Zhang Che over his relatives.

It seemed like Luo Wenjun was in a state of disarray thinking about that epic-quality exotic beast. He wasn't willing to report this matter to the family, nor could he find the appropriate helpers.

Zhang Che's arrival was the exact solution to Luo Wenjun's troubles.

Although he wasn't clear on Zhang Che's exact strength, how weak could someone who explored and returned safely from the secret plane alone be?

——

The fleet of cars soon drove into Tian Xing City, and came to a stop at a traditional-styled building.

This was the most famous restaurant in all of Tian Xing City, the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.

This restaurant didn't sell ordinary food. The dishes on their menu were all unique foods found in the beast worlds, and exotic beast meat from the beasts on Mercury.

The common people would go broke having a meal at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, even if the dishes they ordered were the cheapest available on the menu.

As for the premium dishes, let alone eating them, the common people wouldn't even get to see them.

At Luo Wenjun's personal guidance, Zhang Che's family directly walked into the Tian Xiang Restaurant's main hall. A floor manager immediately came up respectfully and guided them to the elevator.

In the main hall, Sister Guo, who was chatting with her important client while waiting for the dishes to be served, looked over at the group incidentally. Her jaw went loose from the shock, almost in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Earlier, she had received a call from her assistant saying that Sun Shaoying's family was picked up by someone with a fleet of luxurious cars. She had suspected the authenticity of that news. Now that she saw Luo Wenjun conversing with Zhang Che, she had no choice but to believe it even if she didn't want to.

"Shaoying's family finally got their break. Her niece actually knows a big figure like the Luo family's fourth young master. Looks like they will be living the good life in Tian Xing City from now on."

Although she felt a slight hint of envy inside, Sister Guo was happy for her old neighbor.

Not only that, perhaps she might even be able to do business with the related departments under the Luo family with their connections!

At this moment, Sister Guo's client asked curiously, "Director Guo, you know those people over there?"

Sister Guo quickly adjusted. She smiled and said, "I do, they are my old neighbors from many years ago. We're really close! But I didn't expect that they actually knew people from the Luo family. They're hiding pretty deep."

That important client raised his eyebrow in shock, asking, "THE Tian Xing City's Luo family?"

"Hehe, Director Xiang must be kidding. Is there a second Luo family in Tian Xing City?"

Sister Guo chuckled lightly, feeling incomparably happy inside. It seemed like Director Xiang knew of the Luo family.

Director Xiang immediately stood up and raised his cup of tea, saying sincerely, "Aiya, then Director Guo, you have to help me link up with them if there's an opportunity in the future. Don't worry, our deal this time will be as you suggested. You know how this Old Xiang's character is!"

Sister Guo also quickly stood up with a smile, replying, "Director Xiang is too courteous. I'll definitely help where I can. Aren't we all in the business to make money? Hehehehe…"

——-

Zhang Che, who had entered the elevator, would never imagine that he had helped his great-aunt's old neighbor clinch a huge deal unintentionally. Who knew what he would think if he found out?

Well, this could also be considered as spreading Lei Feng's selfless spirit to this world… {TLN: As mentioned previously, Lei Feng is a Chinese communist legend known for his selfless and modest nature.}

Although the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant was incomparably famous in Tian Xing City, due to its traditional architecture design, there weren't many levels. It was only four stories tall.

The first level was the main hall and the kitchen, while the second and third level were private rooms.

The fourth level consisted of only a single private room. The remaining floor area was renovated into an observation deck, where one could see the Heaven's Lake flowing past grandly nearby. Many ships were sailing on the river. Clear winds blew in their direction, bringing a tinge of coolness to the hot summer. It was a good place.

The floor manager led Zhang Che's group up. A bunch of pretty ladies dressed in revealing long dresses waited in the large cabin. They would be serving the customers one-to-one later on.

Of course, they were all proper service staff. If any one of the customers dared to touch them inappropriately, they were guaranteed to not be able to get away scott free. The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant's background was extraordinary. Almost nobody in Tian Xing City dared to cause trouble here.

On the other hand, those who had the qualifications to cause trouble were all public figures. They couldn't afford to lose face here.

Seeing everyone had taken their seats, the floor manager asked Luo Wenjun, "Si-shao, may we start serving the dishes?" {TLN: Si-shao is a less formal version of Fourth Young Master, similar to how Liu Gang's squad addressed Zhang Che as Zhang-shao.}

Luo Wenjun turned to look at Zhang Che and asked, "Brother Zhang, are there any more guests?"

Zhang Che nodded, replying, "Let's wait a little longer. My uncle-in-law is still on his way."

After thinking for a bit, he turned to look at Sun Shaoying and asked, "Great-aunt, is uncle coming?"

When they were at the main lobby at the airport earlier, he learned that Sun Shaoying had a son called Xi Wenshan. For some reason he wasn't present at the airport, and now it was unknown if he would come for dinner.

At the mentioning of Xi Wenshan, Sun Shaoying said, irritated, "Don't bother about him. We'll start when your uncle-in-law arrives."

Sun Shaoying was very dissatisfied with Xi Wenshan. His cousin, Sun Lan, who he had never met once in his decades of life, was here, and he actually didn't come to receive her. Instead, his priorities were all over the place, only caring about his girlfriend.

A short while later, when Xi Muyun's husband, Lin Quan finally arrived, Luo Wenjun gave the okay to the floor manager. Soon, all kinds of dishes were served to them as smoothly as flowing water. The entire room was quickly filled with the aroma of the dishes.

Even though Zhang Che had cooked quite a bit of exotic beasts personally, seeing a table full of dishes made from various ingredients found in the beast world left him swallowing.

He felt that the exotic beast meat he had roasted was as plain as chewing wax compared to the dishes prepared so exquisitely by the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, so much so that they weren't even fit to enter his sight.

Before they started digging in, Luo Wenjun raised his cup of wine and offered a toast to everyone, then he excused himself from the room.

After all, this was Zhang Che's family dinner to celebrate reuniting with their long lost relative. Luo Wenjun staying behind was truly inappropriate.

Now that there weren't anymore outsiders around, everyone started eating happily.

Let alone having such delicacies, Sun Shaoying's family had never even heard of them. Even Sun Lan and Zhang Che, who didn't place much importance on food, were amazed when a table full of delicacies was suddenly served to them.

Zhang Che estimated that this table of delicacies alone, not including any other fees, would cost around a million dollars.

————

By the time everyone had their fill, the sky outside had darkened slightly.

Luo Wenjun was indeed a hospitable man. He was actually waiting outside, and he had the fleet of cars from earlier drive Zhang Che and Sun Shaoying's families back to their lodgings before leaving.

Before Luo Wenjun left, he even blinked at Zhang Che, reminding him. It was obvious he really wanted Zhang Che to help him hunt that epic-quality exotic beast.

Zhang Che was helpless about it. He could only nod at Luo Wenjun, indicating that he would consider the matter seriously.

Speaking of which, Zhang Che was very interested in the matter.

He was only hesitant because he didn't know the exact level of that epic-quality exotic beast.

After all, if that epic-quality beast was high-tier, even though it would slip into a state of weakness for a period of time after giving birth, he might not be a match for the beast even if he teamed up with Luo Wenjun, as well as Luo Da and Luo Er. The difference in strength was too great.

However, Luo Wenjun had a point, too. As long as they were fast enough when escaping, they wouldn't be in danger even if they couldn't win. It seemed to be worth a try.

That night, Zhang Che stayed in his great-aunt's guest room, thinking about this matter. He didn't fall asleep until late into the night, but was greeted by a decent piece of news.

A change occurred in his spiritual sea. The Mutated Puffersword had advanced to dark gold-quality!

Chapter 320: The Golden Elephorse King's Advancement

[Mutated Puffersword]

Level: Two Star (Level 20)

Quality: Dark Gold

Type: Weapon Type

Characteristics: Extremely Sharp, Cuts Metal Like Mud

Innate Attribute: Speed Blessing, Increases User's Attack Speed by 20%

Skill: Sonic Wave, Emits Highly Destructive Sound Waves, Attacks All Living Organisms Ahead within a 90-degree Cone, Attack Range 150m, Cooldown: 15 minutes

Potential: D Rank

The Mutated Puffersword finally advancing to dark gold-quality left Zhang Che feeling a surge of emotions.

It was his first beast card weapon, and had achieved many merits for him in his early days.

Alas, as he grew stronger, the Mutated Puffersword was gradually neglected, with almost no opportunities to be useful to him.

After three whole months, this fellow finally advanced in quality, becoming a dark gold-quality beast card weapon.

Regrettably, it still wasn't useful to him…

Even though the Mutated Puffersword's abilities had an all-around upgrade, it was still too weak for the current Zhang Che.

If its advancement had provided anything beneficial to Zhang Che, it was letting him know how long it took for gold-quality cards to rise to dark gold-quality.

Before dark gold-quality, advancing a beast card's quality was twice the amount of time it took for its previous rank. It was only during the advance from gold to dark gold-quality that the time needed more than doubled.

In the end, Zhang Che guessed that this was a threshold, and might need three to four times the amount of time.

From the looks of it, it wasn't too bad; needing only three times the amount of time.

Three months' time was all it took for a beast card to advance from gold to dark gold. If he spread this information, perhaps some people would die from shock!

If it wasn't for the limited number of slots available in his spiritual sea, Zhang Che could very well dabble in business on this front, buying a bunch of gold-quality beast cards and earning several times the profit after three months. How great would that be!?

Of course, Zhang Che was only fantasizing about it.

"Hmm, I can let Tielan use this Mutated Puffersword."

Recalling the weapon Miss Tienan used was still that one-star gold-quality Mutated Puffersword, Zhang Che couldn't help but blame himself.

He wasn't really a good boyfriend to her.

During his first trip to the beast world, Miss Tienan gave him her only silver-quality beast card. Fast forward to present, the best beast card he gave her was only the three-star gold-quality Maneater Leech King card, which had his unspeakable motives behind the decision.

"What a pity, she was never willing to wear it and show me! Ah, the road is still long and tedious!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Che shut his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, hoping he would dream of Miss Tienan wearing that incredibly tight-fitting soft armor. Alas, he didn't even dream of anything that night.

——-

The next morning, Zhang Che woke up and had breakfast at his great-aunt's place. However, he still didn't get to meet his uncle, Xi Wenshan.

During their meal, Sun Shaoying showed a helpless look whenever this son of hers, who was in his twenties, was mentioned.

After hearing what Sun Shaoying had to say about him, Zhang Che couldn't help but be interested in this uncle, wanting to meet him.

The man was a talent. He lived a sloppy life into his twenties, and was only a Tier Three beastmaster, which he attained by accumulating kills on the weaker exotic beasts around the safety zone. He was a prime example of a coward, not daring to venture any deeper into the beast world to hunt stronger exotic beasts.

However, it was only human nature. Zhang Che could understand that. After all, there were too many dangers in the depths of the beast world. Not everyone had the courage to explore.

What amazed him the most was that although this uncle of his didn't achieve much, the girlfriend he found had a rather impressive background. She was actually the only daughter of a beast world material business owner in Tian Xing City.

Zhang Che could well imagine that her family must be against their relationship, and would try all methods possible to thwart it.

If it wasn't for the fear of hurting her daughter's heart, that business owner might even think of killing Xi Wenshan!

Recently, Xi Wenshan seemed to be in talks with his girlfriend regarding operating a business, wanting to make a career for himself in order to change his future father-in-law's opinion of him. It was why he didn't go to the airport to receive Zhang Che and Sun Lan.

Zhang Che couldn't help but sympathize with this, not having had to go through such matters of the girl's family making things hard for him.

Thinking about that, he realized how lovable his father-in-law was. Not only did he not interfere with his and Miss Tienan's matters, Huang Juyun even treated him like his own son. He was simply the number one father-in-law in Hua Xia!

This puffed-up guy didn't even consider that if he hadn't displayed his shocking potential and luck, would Huang Juyun really be so easygoing?

——-

After finishing his breakfast, Zhang Che took the initiative to call Luo Wenjun, informing him of his decision.

"You agreed to it? Hahaha, that's great! I'll get my men to start preparing; we'll set off later!" On the other end of the line, Luo Wenjun nearly jumped up from excitement.

However, Zhang Che said plainly, "Brother Luo, let's hold it off until tomorrow. I have some private matters to attend to today. I might not make it in time."

"Ugh… that's fine. Just one day wouldn't make any difference. All that matters is that you've agreed! Haha, then I'll prepare the things first. We'll set off tomorrow morning. How about it?"

Luo Wenjun was already very happy that Zhang Che had agreed to his request. He didn't mind waiting for one more day.

After ending his call with Luo Wenjun, Zhang Che immediately called Liu Gang and the others.

He was going to enter the beast world with Luo Wenjun, and he didn't know how long it would be before he returned. He definitely needed people to protect his mother while she stayed here, and hence it was necessary to have them come over.

As for whether doing so would implicate his great-aunt's family? Zhang Che wasn't worried about that.

If it wasn't because of his mother, he and his great-aunt's family really couldn't be considered close. If the Miyazaki clan didn't have shit for brains, they would definitely not choose to kidnap his great-aunt's family to deal with him.

According to common sense, doing so would only incur Zhang Che's desire for revenge, and not achieve anything else.

If they wanted to control or threaten someone through kidnapping, it might only work if they targeted his immediate family.It would only have a chance of working because some people could even abandon their parents, spouses, and children to save their own skins.

——–

After breakfast, Sun Shaoying's family brought them to visit Sun Lan's paternal grandparents' graves. During which, they spoke about Sun Lan's parents, and everyone lamented.

Zhang Che then suggested moving his maternal grandparents' graves to Tian Xing City when an opportunity arose. It could be considered bringing them back to their hometown.

This suggestion received unanimous support from the others.

Sun Lan even expressed wanting to move Zhang Che's father's grave here, too. Otherwise, she was afraid that he would feel lonely being in Qian Wei City alone.

—–

After paying respects to Zhang Che's maternal great-grandparents, the group went sightseeing in Tian Xing City.

Lin Xin'er, the little girl, still remembered Zhang Che hadn't given her any presents yet. In the end, Zhang Che directly bought her a bunch of toys before she finally smiled.

In the afternoon, Liu Gang's squad arrived at Tian Xing City safely, sparing Zhang Che any worries while he was gone.

Tomorrow morning, he could set off to hunt that epic-quality exotic beast without worries!

Zhang Che felt his blood boiling just thinking about it. Indeed, an adventurous spirit was hidden deep in his genes!

That night, Zhang Che was nearly unable to fall asleep. He witnessed the Golden Elephorse King Hanxue's advance in quality.

When he thought back about it, it was time!

Chapter 321: Target: The Epic-Quality Exotic Beast

"Hmm? It's just like the Mutated Puffersword. Both of them didn't receive the Halo attribute. Is it because of my bad luck?"

Although Hanxue's attributes increased considerably, Zhang Che didn't feel much excitement. Neither one of the babies that advanced to dark gold-quality these last two days received the Halo attribute. It seemed like his own unlucky Halo was in full effect again.

Shaking his head, Zhang Che went back to sleep.

——

That night, he finally dreamt of Miss Tienan wearing the Maneater Leech King soft armor to show him. He was so shocked that he directly woke up from his dream.

-Why is the Miss Tienan in my dreams wearing the tight-fitting armor as she was before her weight loss? That stings the eye a little too much!

-Could it be that this is what I really wanted to see the most in my subconsciousness?-

Zhang Che shivered, losing every bit of drowsiness.

"No, no, no. Although I don't like skin-with-bones, I definitely don't wish for Miss Tienan to return to her hundred and eighty pound appearance!"

——

In the end, Zhang Che didn't even know how he fell asleep. In any case, his consciousness was hazy in his dreams through the night, in fear of dreaming that scene again. When he woke up the next morning, his spirits were a little low.

Just as Zhang Che was taking care of his business in the washroom, an impatient phone call from Luo Wenjun came.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, how are your preparations?"

Zhang Che really wanted to tell him he was now squatting in the toilet, but decided against it after thinking for a moment. It was better not to disgust him early in the morning.

"Come on, brother, I just woke up. I'll let you know when I'm ready." Zhang Che could understand Luo Wenjun's impatience.

That was an epic-quality exotic beast, not to mention one that was about to give birth. If they slew it successfully, not only would they obtain an epic-quality beast card, they could even get its offspring.

How exciting was this!? Let alone Luo Wenjun, actually Zhang Che was also really looking forward to this!

"Hah, it's fine! Take your time preparing, Brother Zhang. I'll come over to pick you up right now. We'll set off right away then."

——-

After his meal, Zhang Che found an opportunity to tell his mother about this matter.

Of course, he wasn't silly enough to say that he was going to hunt an epic-quality exotic beast. He only told her that Luo Wenjun discovered the tracks of a few legend-quality beasts, and invited him to go hunt them together.

"Look after yourself, Xiaoche. You mustn't get careless, alright?"

Sun Lan was naturally worried after hearing Zhang Che was going to hunt legend-quality exotic beasts. However, she wasn't too anxious about it.

After all, she was aware that Zhang Che had more than one legend-quality subdued beast. He probably wouldn't run into any danger.

"Rest assured, mom. I'll be careful," Zhang Che replied, nodding. He said his goodbyes to his great-aunt and the others and went downstairs. He met up with Luo Wenjun, who was already waiting, and got into the latter's car.

—

Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, long after he left, his great-aunt's family was still in shock.

Legend-quality exotic beasts!

Heavens! To their knowledge, that was really a legendary existence. Let alone seeing one, they didn't even dare to think about them.

How old was Zhang Che that boy? Not even twenty, was he? And he was going to hunt a legend-quality exotic beast. That was too shocking!

Sun Shaoying met gazes with Xi Hai. Both of them thought of their son. -Should we ask this great-nephew to help him?-

However, the two families hadn't seen one another in decades, after all, not to mention Zhang Che being their junior. They really couldn't bring themselves to ask for this favor.

-Forget it; everyone had their own blessings. It's better to let Wenshan work hard himself and try to make a career of his own before thinking about anything else.-

———

Luo Wenjun didn't drive the beastly car to pick up Zhang Che, since that model was simply drew too much attention. Given their objective on this trip, naturally they had to keep things low profile.

Moreover, at their level, the defenses provided by those cars weren't important at all. What mattered the most was their own strength.

No matter how powerful of a car you had, it was only an inanimate object in the end. When you encountered a truly powerful enemy, it wouldn't be able to withstand the devastating attacks regardless.

—–

The car drove out of Tian Xing City and arrived at a large exotic beast material processing plant. Luo Wenjun switched to another car, and after driving away with the traffic, they turned onto a remote path, speeding towards the wilderness.

This fellow was really careful about things, afraid that others would be following his tracks.

The car sped along. In the end, they drove deep into the wilderness.

Zhang Che couldn't resist asking curiously, "Brother Luo, is it not at the beast world behind the Tian Xing City suburbs?"

As Luo Wenjun drove, he answered, "That's right. We're heading a few hundred kilometers away to the beast world near Chang Ye City. Luo Da and Luo Er are already waiting for us there. We'll set off immediately after we rendezvous with them."

Chang Ye City used to be a subsidiary city to Tian Xing City. Their population was small.

Most likely, only in the beast worlds that were further out, near the cities with low populations, could Luo Wenjun's men keep the news about an epic-quality exotic beast a secret.

If it were close to Tian Xing City, there would be too many beastmasters around. They were really unlikely to have sole possession of this news.

During the long journey to Chang Ye City, they encountered quite a number of exotic beasts blocking their paths. However, those beasts were only mid-tier mid-quality exotic beasts at best, not enough to even fill the gaps between their own beasts' teeth. They swept their way through easily.

——-

When they arrived at the spatial gateway a few dozen kilometers away from Chang Ye City, the two abandoned the car and entered the beast world. They walked out of the safety zone and travelled a few dozen kilometers before they finally met up with Luo Da, who had come to support them.

At present, it was already afternoon.

"Can we reach the place before dark if we set out now?" Luo Wenjun directly asked Luo Da. "Also, did any other beastmasters discover that exotic beast?"

Luo Da nodded respectfully, answering, "Si-shao, if there aren't many obstacles on the way, we should be able to reach the place before the sky turns dark. Also, that area is very remote, with few stronger exotic beasts around. We didn't see any other beastmasters passing by during the past few days."

"Good. Then we'll set off right away. We'll rest for the night after arriving, and we'll directly make our moves tomorrow!" Luo Wenjun nodded, indicating Luo Da should lead the way. The three of them summoned their respective flying beasts, speeding off to the southwest.

Chapter 322: Is My Fisherman Zhang Alias Just For Show?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

When they headed southwest, Zhang Che suddenly realized that Luo Wenjun and Luo Da's flying beasts didn't seem very fast. Although their flying beasts were considered competent, they were still a little lacking when compared to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Zhang Che estimated that the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would be able to leave them in the dust almost instantly if he flew at maximum speed.

It was no wonder Luo Wenjun invited him here. They were worried that they would be no match for the epic-quality exotic beast, and they could escape with the help of Zhang Che's Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon!

Mountains and rivers flashed pass under them as they flew. The group soon entered the depths of the beast world.

At their current location, they could hardly see any traces of other beastmasters. Mid-tier exotic beasts were lurking everywhere.

Zhang Che looked at the "living cash" below. He couldn't help but feel pity, sighing, "What a pity. If we weren't rushing for time, we would earn quite a hefty sum by sweeping our way through."

Luo Wenjun's eyes widened. "You must be kidding me, Brother Zhang. With that army of top-grade beasts of yours, that garbage below would enter your eyes?"

Zhang Che shook his head, replying in a matter-of-fact manner, "Even the legs of a mosquito is meat, no matter how little, not to mention those mosquitoes' legs are especially thick. Do you think I'm like you, having a mountain of fortune waiting for me to inherit? It's never wrong to want to earn a little more."

Luo Wenjun opened his mouth, but decided to ignore this greedy guy in the end.

-Yes, my family fortune is huge, but just look at how many people are waiting in line to inherit it!-

Although Luo Wenjun and Luo Da's flying beasts weren't very fast, that was only relative to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. They could travel about five to six hundred kilometers an hour.

Just like that, they flew for more than four hours. Just as the sky was about to turn dark, an endless tall mountain range finally appeared on the horizon.

Luo Da pointed at the mountain range and said, "Si-shao, Zhang-shao, it's right ahead!"

Luo Da led Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che, entering the outskirts of the mountain range from a valley. After advancing another several dozen kilometers through many twists and turns, they suddenly arrived at a rock platform at the waist of a mountain.

Here, Luo Er was hiding in a large crevice behind the rock platform.

"Si-shao, Zhang-shao, you're here!" Luo Er had an excited smile on his flat face when he saw Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che.

Luo Wenjun jumped off the back of his flying mount and nodded, asking, "How is it? Is that epic-quality exotic beast still in the vicinity?"

"It is. My scouting-type flying beast has been checking on it everyday in the sky. It didn't see that fellow leaving."

Luo Wenjun finally showed a relaxed smile, saying, "Good. Keep a close eye on it. Once it shows signs of giving birth, we'll make our moves immediately!"

At this moment, Zhang Che suddenly asked, "Mr Luo Er, can you describe that exotic beast? Do you have an estimate of its strength?"

Luo Er nodded and answered, "Zhang-shao, that fellow is really cautious. My scouting beast didn't dare to get too close, but it managed to lay eyes on it once from afar during the past few days. It is covered in green and yellow fur, and resembles a leopard. Its exact level is unknown, but after it came to this mountain range, all the exotic beasts in the surrounding few hundred kilometers ran off. Its strength mustn't be low."

Zhang Che nodded silently, no longer speaking.

Although Luo Er didn't provide much information, it could be seen from the behavior of the exotic beasts in the surrounding few hundred kilometers after the leopard-like beast's arrival that it must not be an easy prey.

Zhang Che guessed that it was highly likely the epic-quality exotic beast had reached high-tier.

As such, this battle would be extremely tough. Perhaps they might really end up only escaping on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, be a little more optimistic!" Luo Wenjun laughed out loud after seeing the solemn look on Zhang Che's face. "In any case, we're not going to hunt that exotic beast right away. We can totally wait until it gives birth and slips into a weakened state before we make our moves. There'll be a chance."

Right, they could run even if they were no match for it. At the very least, they shouldn't lose anything.

Zhang Che nodded, smiling, "Brother Luo is right. Let's wait here patiently, then."

"That's the way. Even if we can't win, we can just run, right? That fellow surely wouldn't go far from her offspring after giving birth. It definitely wouldn't chase us relentlessly."

——-

The sky had turned dark. Everyone had settled down. They took out compressed biscuits and meat jerky, eating them for dinner.

In the end, Luo Wenjun's jaw dropped when he saw the mountain of food Zhang Che took out.

"Say, Brother Zhang, are you sure your stomach won't burst from eating this much food at one go?"

Zhang Che smiled bitterly, "I can't help it. Previously I consumed a spiritual flower in the beast world, and in the end my appetite grew even bigger than an ox's! My spatial storage equipment doesn't have many things in it, mostly dry rations."

Zhang Che recounted a revised version of him "consuming a spiritual flower", drawing interest from Luo Wenjun and the others. Indeed, there was nothing too bizarre in the world; even such a peculiar spiritual flower existed in the beast world!

Although Zhang Che obtained herculean strength from that incident, he had to eat so much food everyday. Luo Wenjun felt his stomach ache just thinking about it; it was better not to envy such encounters.

——

As the sky turned fully dark, the four pitched their own tents to rest, silently waiting on the rock platform.

All of the next day, Luo Er's scouting-type beast made no new discoveries.

It seemed like they needed to wait a few days for that epic-quality exotic beast to give birth. They weren't anxious, however, and continued waiting patiently on the rock platform.

Such matters couldn't be rushed. If they didn't wait for that exotic beast to give birth, they had no confidence in bringing down the beast. Would they be so impatient to rush to their own deaths?

Well, they weren't in a hurry. Meanwhile, those who were in a rush to die appeared on the third day.

That morning, Luo Er suddenly went to look for Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che, who were playing around nearby, flustered. He had a bitter expression, saying, "Si-shao, Zhang-shao, some people entered this mountain range. It looks like they noticed the anomaly in this area as well and are heading deeper into the mountain range."

Luo Wenjun's brow shot up. He hurriedly asked, "How many of them are there? How strong are they?"

Luo Er shook his head slightly, "There's about seven or eight or them. Their exact strength is unknown, but judging from their subdued beasts, they are at least mid-tier beastmasters. Also, they have a powerful scouting beast. I was afraid that they would discover me, and I immediately had my scouting beast retreat."

Luo Wenjun's brow furrowed deeply. He punched his right fist into his left palm, cursing, "Bloody hell! I knew there'd be accidents if we dragged it on. If they are stronger than us, do we have no choice but to give up on the exotic beast?"

Zhang Che smiled at the side. He said, "What are you worried about, Brother Luo? In my opinion, they only discovered the anomaly in this area at the most, thinking that a powerful exotic beast might be here. It's impossible for them to know that fellow is about to give birth. With this, we can let them go feel out that exotic beast's strength."

-Mhm, is my Fisherman Zhang alias just for show?-

Luo Wenjun's eyes twinkled. He immediately nodded and smiled, "You really have a point there. My men had been keeping an eye on this exotic beast for several days now, and they didn't see any other beastmasters discovering it. Those people must not know the exact situation."

The two exchanged glances and broke out into laughter tacitly.

Having people test out the epic-quality beast's strength, it would only have pros and no cons.

In any case, the exotic beast had yet to give birth; its strength hadn't slipped too drastically. It wouldn't be so easy for that group of beastmasters to defeat it…

Chapter 323: Why Isn't This Going According to the Script!?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Since they were going to act as fishermen, they mustn't be seen by the other party.

As such, they quickly returned to the rock platform and used their beast card weapons to widen the crevice behind it, hiding inside and leaving only Luo Er's scouting-type beast to observe the situation from the sky.

"Brother Zhang, do you reckon we're being immoral for doing this?" Luo Wenjun suddenly looked at Zhang Che, smiling, "But, I like it! Hahahaha…"

Zhang Che was speechless. It seemed like that guy had never tried setting others up before.

-Ai, is an honest boy like him going to be led astray by me?-

——

At the edge of the mountain range, along the mountain ridge, a group of eight beastmasters were carefully making their way to the core area of the mountain range with a large army of subdued beasts.

Hints of excitement could be seen on their faces.

Ever since they had entered the mountain range, they had not met any exotic beasts. This was an extremely unusual sign. The only explanation for this was that an extremely powerful exotic beast was deep in the mountain range, occupying the area by itself.

An exotic beast that could dominate a mountain range by itself had to be legend-quality at least, right?

Not only that, it was very likely to be an epic-quality beast!

The combined strength of those eight beastmasters wasn't low. There were three legend-quality subdued beasts in their ranks, and one of them was even at seven-star. They totally had a shot at this.

Among the group of eight, their leader was a middle-aged man with long, narrow eyes. Currently, he was looking into the depths of the mountain range. He turned to a youngster at his side and asked, "Xiaowu, has your scouting-type beast finished checking the area? Did it find any other beastmasters?"

The man addressed as Xiaowu nodded and answered, "Big Brother, it is done scouting. No other beastmasters were found in the surrounding several dozen kilometers. We are already deep into the beast world; it wouldn't be coincidental if others were around here…"

The middle-aged man nodded. The group continued on their way.

After a short while, Xiaowu suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said to the middle-aged man, "I found it, Big Brother! My scouting-type beast saw a leopard-like exotic beast at the core of the mountain range. It gives off a very powerful aura, and it discovered my scouting-type beast from a few kilometers away!"

Looks of surprise colored the group's faces. It went without saying that an exotic beast who could discover a scouting-type beast several kilometers away had to be epic-quality at the least!

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Such a powerful exotic beast wasn't something they could kill easily. If they were even slightly careless, their group might get wiped out. They couldn't afford any carelessness.

Seeing the middle-aged man not responding, a well-built, bearded man said eagerly, "Big Brother, what are your plans? Tell us! If we can kill this exotic beast, we won't have anything to fear under the heavens! There won't be anywhere in the beast world we can't go!"

"Third Brother, what are you so anxious for?" the middle-aged man chided, glaring at the well-built man. He said deliberately, "At present, we still don't have a clear idea on that exotic beast's strength. If we were to charge at it thoughtlessly, it is simply no different from us rushing to our deaths."

After a short pause, the middle-aged man turned to look at Xiaowu and said, "Xiaowu, let your scouting-type beast go check things out clearer. See if it can find out how strong the exotic beast is."

Xiaowu nodded excitedly. He knew his Big Brother was moved, but the latter didn't have a good idea on how strong the exotic beast was, and thus told him to investigate further.

——-

In the crevices about fifty kilometers away, Luo Er suddenly said to Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun, "Si-shao, Zhang-shao, their scouting-type beast is headed for the center of the mountain range."

Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che exchanged glances. They knew the other party was planning to make a move, and so they moved to investigate the exotic beast's strength.

Ah, profiting from others' work, and staying hidden from the hunters. The two were getting excited just thinking about it.

After another short while, Luo Er suddenly showed a strange expression. He reported, "Their scouting-type beast seems to have been ambushed by that exotic beast. It's dead."

Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che were speechless after hearing that.

-What's going on? Why are they so careless? They clearly know that the exotic beast is extremely strong. Why did they just send their scouting-type beast to its death so easily?-

——

On the other side, Xiaowu was at a loss for words, too. His face was more bitter than a bittergourd. He said to the middle-aged man, "Big Brother, that exotic beast is too cunning. My scouting-type beast was caught in an ambush and died."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, reprimanding, "You knew that exotic beast isn't simple. Why did you let your scouting beast charge in so recklessly?"

Xiaowu nearly cried. -I didn't wish for that to happen, either! That was a dark gold-quality scouting-type beast that was worth nearly half of my fortune! Did you think I was willing to watch it die just like that?-

"I didn't expect that exotic beast to be so cautious either, Big Brother. Previously it was clearly at another location. I even had my subdued beast circle around behind it to investigate it. In the end, that exotic beast was hiding on a mountain top and directly killed off my scouting-type beast from hundreds of meters away."

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow deeply. He suddenly asked, "How far apart were the two different locations?"

"At least a few kilometers!" Xiaowu answered firmly.

"Let's leave!" the middle-aged man said decisively, and turned back in the direction they came from.

Such a cunning exotic beast, in addition to its unfathomable strength, wasn't something they could covet. Although they weren't weak by any means, and had the strength to try fighting, the middle-aged man understood that it was bad to harbor the mindset of winning by luck in the beast world. Otherwise, it would be too late for regret if they ever capsized their boat in some ditch.

This man held great authority within the team. The moment he made the call to leave, none of the others actually said anything otherwise. They followed behind the middle-aged man and quickly retreated from the mountain range.

Their speed when leaving was faster than when they were going deeper. After only a quarter of an hour, they retreated to the outskirts of the mountain range.

——

On the rock platform at the waist of the mountain, Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun couldn't help but exchange looks after hearing Luo Er describing this event.

Why didn't this group of people follow the script?

Shouldn't they rush up together and engage that exotic beast in a fight to the death, and Zhang Che would then obtain an epic-quality beast card, just like that?

Zhang Che thought to himself, -Is my Fisherman Zhang Halo not working today?-

-Mhm, it must be Luo Wenjun's group that had affected my Halo effect. Otherwise, going by my past experience, I would only have to go forward to pick up scraps. Such situations would never have occurred.-

Seeing Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun not saying a word, Luo Er couldn't help but ask softly, "Si-shao, Zhang-shao, what do we do now?"

"What to do? We continue waiting, of course. That fellow had already dragged on for so long. It should be about time for it to give birth."

Luo Wenjun felt he was a failure after not being able to be a fisherman for once.

——

This wait went on for another half a day.

Seeing the sky had started to turn dark, the four of them had their dinner and prepared to rest for the night.

Luo Er suddenly exclaimed, "It's about to give birth!"

Chapter 324: The Mutated Giant Ape's First Battle

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"It's about to give birth!"

Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che were surprised when they heard Luo Er's cry. The two asked almost simultaneously, "Really?"

Luo Er nodded happily, answering, "My scouting-type beast saw that exotic beast seemed to be letting out low painful groans. It shouldn't be wrong."

"Let's go!" Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun exchanged looks, noticing the joy in one another's eyes.

The four hurriedly packed their belongings. Luo Wenjun suddenly said, "Brother Zhang, if everything went well, you'll get the first pick between the beast card and the baby beast."

Zhang Che was slightly taken aback. Seeing the sincerity on Luo Wenjun's face, Zhang Che didn't try to reject. He directly nodded and said, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then."

Even biological brothers settled their accounts clearly. Although they were friends, they clarified the loot sharing before the hunt started, to prevent any ill feelings afterward.

Luo Wenjun continued, "If it doesn't go very smoothly and we only obtain one of the two, then we'll split according to their value. I won't let you take a loss."

Zhang Che nodded. The group walked out of the crevice, summoning their respective flying beasts and flying towards the core of the mountain range.

There was another sentence Luo Wenjun had left unsaid, but Zhang Che already knew what it was.

If things went very unsuccessfully, and they got nothing out of this trip, they'd just treat this as coming out to have fun. They'd each return to their own homes and get on with life.

Luo Er acted as the guide, while Zhang Che and the others followed after him. They passed mountain after mountain, and finally arrived at a wide valley.

From afar, the group saw a green and white-furred, leopard-like exotic beast on the grasslands in the valley. It was looking in their direction in shock and anger.

That exotic beast was at a crucial moment of its childbirth. Seeing the sudden arrival of Zhang Che and the others, it immediately bared its fangs and roared out at them, issuing a warning.

"Haha, what a rare opportunity!" Luo Wenjun roared out excitedly. He directed his flying beast to land in the valley. Afterwards, streak after streak of light shot out from his brow, materializing into various subdued beasts around him.

Zhang Che, Luo Da, and Luo Er followed suit. All kinds of subdued beasts were summoned, adding up to over twenty of them.

At a quick glance, Zhang Che realized that their subdued beasts were all at mid-tier dark gold-quality or higher. There were quite a few legend-quality beasts, too! The three of them had summoned a total of seven legend-quality beasts!

Including Zhang Che's Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Scarlet Flame Drake, Mutated Giant Ape, and Purple Crystal Tortoise, there were a total of eleven legend-quality beasts around them!

With such strength, let alone a weakened epic-quality beast that was giving birth, even a normal mid-tier epic-quality beast might not emerge victorious.

However, the crux of the matter, whether that leopard was a mid-tier or high-tier exotic beast, remained to be seen.

The difference between mid-tier and high-tier was too great!

If this exotic beast was a high-tier epic-quality beast, they wouldn't be able to win easily despite it being in an extremely weakened state after giving birth.

"Luo Da, let your subdued beast go test the water first. See how strong that fellow is," Luo Wenjun turned to instruct Luo Da. The latter nodded and waved his hand, a five-star dark gold-quality subdued beast immediately charged forward.

Whoosh! Just as that dark gold-quality subdued beast charged out, the group witnessed to their horror that the exotic beast, who was in the midst of giving birth, suddenly opened its mouth. A near-invisible phantom suddenly moved a few hundred meters, directly cutting Luo Da's subdued beast in half, turning it into a dissipating streak of light.

"Get back!" Luo Wenjun cried out in shock, telling the others to retreat.

Zhang Che's eyes nearly popped out from their sockets. That was a freaking five-star dark gold-quality subdued beast, and it was killed instantly in one move just like that!

Without a doubt, that leopard-like exotic beast was at high-tier epic-quality!

"Big Brother Luo, this won't be easy!" Thoughts of retreating sprouted in Zhang Che's heart.

The difference in strength was simply too large. There was no way to fight at all!

This was still under the condition that the exotic beast was in the process of giving birth. Otherwise, it would even pose a problem for them to escape from this valley!

"Damn it, I'll try once more!"

It wasn't easy for such an opportunity to come by. Luo Wenjun truly didn't want to give up just like that. He gritted his teeth and decided to send out one of his legend-quality subdued beast, charging forward.

The leopard-like exotic beast on the grassland let out a low roar. Another near-invisible phantom flew past, directly slashing at Luo Wenjun's legend-quality subdued beast.

Without any forewarning, a gash deep enough to see the bones suddenly appeared on that legend-quality subdued beast's body. Fresh blood immediately flowed out.

The legend-quality subdued beast had even sensed the danger and tried to dodge instinctively. Otherwise, perhaps it would be dead by now and gone in a fading streak of light.

Luo Wenjun's expression turned extremely ugly.

Although defense wasn't this legend-quality subdued beast's forte, it had rarely suffered any injuries during battles in the past. Unexpectedly, when facing this leopard-like exotic beast, it was nearly slain in one attack.

How were they supposed to continue fighting?

Luo Wenjun's expression underwent several changes. In the end, he could only sigh reluctantly, "Let's go. There's no way we can do this."

Zhang Che, who was silent all this time, suddenly called out, "Wait!"

Luo Wenjun and the others turned to look at Zhang Che at the same time. Perhaps this kid had an ace up his sleeve?

However, under such circumstances, it was useless no matter what hidden trump he had…

That leopard-like exotic beast had yet to utilize its False Domain… well, maybe it was currently giving birth and was unable to use its False Domain. But even so, it wasn't something their subdued beasts could handle.

Zhang Che looked in the leopard-like exotic beast's direction for a moment, then grit his teeth and said, "Let's gather our beasts with strong defenses. We'll exhaust that exotic beast's skill first. I have a way after that!"

Done speaking, a five-colored ray of light shot out from Zhang Che's brow. The Unicorn's pure and noble figure appeared before them.

"As long as our subdued beasts don't die right away, this subdued beast of mine should be able to save them!"

Luo Wenjun's eyes went wide. He exclaimed in shock, "Damn, a healing-type subdued beast, and a legend-quality one at that! Brother Zhang, you really hide deeply! Alright, we'll listen to you. Let's do this!"

With a legend-quality healing-type beast supporting them from behind, they shouldn't suffer great losses. As long as they managed to kill the leopard-like exotic beast in the end, everything would be worth it!

At that moment, the leopard-like exotic beast suddenly let out a loud pained cry. Everyone saw a pool of blood forming under it.

Obviously this fellow was at the crucial moment of childbirth.

"Now is the time, charge!" Luo Wenjun shouted. The four of them sent out their defensive legend-quality beasts, rushing forward together.

The epic-quality exotic beast roared out furiously, and indignantly. It suddenly opened its mouth, a spread of near-invisible phantoms shot out, shrouding the approaching subdued beasts.

Chichichi!… A few soft sounds rang out. Zhang Che and the others were shocked to see gash after gash appearing on the beasts' bodies in close proximity. Large amounts of blood gushed out from the wounds like spring water.

The Unicorn was prepared for this, and immediately shot out ray after ray of milky white splendor from its spiral horn at each and every allied beast in front, quickly closing their wounds.

Zhang Che looked at the Mutated Giant Ape who had been waiting at the side for a long time and said expectantly, "Go, it's up to you now!"

The Mutated Giant Ape immediately let out a spirited battle cry. He pounded his chest with his fists, then his body shot forth like lightning in an extremely elegant manner, charging straight towards the epic-quality exotic beast, which was already sitting in a pool of its own blood.

A near-invisible phantom shot out once more. The Mutated Giant Ape was clearly not very speedy, but he side-stepped deftly, narrowly dodging the attack!

The three of them went widened their eyes in shock again.

-What situation is this?-

It was like they saw a legendary martial arts expert, easily dodging the hidden projectile weapons from their enemy. That elegant move truly left them impressed.

Well, that was if the move wasn't executed by a giant ape!

Just as Luo Wenjun and the others were feeling like they had seen a ghost, the Mutated Giant Ape dodged two more windblade attacks, and pounced in front of the exotic beast.

The leopard-like exotic beast roared out furiously. Although it didn't dare to move casually while lying in its own pool of blood, its claw seemed to tear the space apart, directly swiping at the Mutated Giant Ape's abdomen.

The Mutated Giant Ape had a huge body, but he possessed nimbleness that totally out of step with his size. He took a step to the side, directly avoiding the epic-quality exotic beast's attack. Afterwards, his right fist drew a beautiful arc in the air, smashing the exotic beast's chin with a loud bang.

"Shit, that's awesome!" Luo Wenjun cried out again. The animal he was watching right now wasn't a beast. It was clearly a boxing grandmaster!

However, the epic-quality exotic beast seemed fine after taking that punch. It opened its mouth and shot out another elemental attack, directly into the Mutated Giant Ape's chest.

"Ah, shit!" Luo Wenjun immediately cried out in surprise.

However, the Mutated Giant Ape's snowy white fur at his chest flashed with a blurry light, absorbing about half of the epic-quality exotic beast's elemental attack. Although the remaining energy left a cut on his chest, it wasn't a heavy injury.

Noticing the epic-quality exotic beast's tough defense, Zhang Che hurriedly yelled out loudly, "Go for its stomach!"

As a boxing grandmaster, did the Mutated Giant Ape need Zhang Che's reminder? During the moment Zhang Che was speaking, he had already quickly changed his target. With a swift step, he circled around to the rear half of the epic-quality exotic beast and punched viciously at its soft stomach.

The epic-quality exotic beast wailed in pain. Its large body trembled violently, scaring Zhang Che so much that he yelled out again, "Be careful, don't kill the little fellow in its belly!"

The Mutated Giant Ape immediately understood Zhang Che's intention. He roared out furiously to the sky and direct used his skill, Heavy Punches.

An endless wave of dull banging rang out, nearly forming a symphony. The Mutated Giant Ape's fists turned into blurs, launching a flurry of eighteen heavy punches in less than two breaths' time. That terrifying power contained in those punches directly forced the epic-quality exotic beast's large body to stagger, nearly falling sideways to the ground.

Another miserable cry rang out. Zhang Che and the others widened their eyes.

More fresh blood gushed out from under the epic-quality exotic beast's body. Afterwards, a small, sticky body suddenly entered their sights.

The Mutated Giant Ape's series of heavy punches actually forced the epic-quality exotic beast to directly gave birth!

Chapter 325: Wind God Leopard

Luo Wenjun and the others cheered out at seeing this.

Zhang Che, on the other hand, sighed in relief. -Luckily I had the Mutated Giant Ape change his target in time and he didn't hit the epic-quality exotic beast's lower abdomen directly. Otherwise, that baby exotic beast might have gotten hammered to death in her belly!-

"Brother Zhang, it gave birth, it gave birth!" Luo Wenjun shouted towards Zhang Che with a face full of smiles.

Zhang Che's expression darkened. -What is that? That sounds too ambiguous, brother!- {TLN: The way Luo Wenjun said it in Chinese could mean that Zhang Che gave birth.}

"Let's go all together and finish off that fellow!"

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes. His legend-quality babies swarmed forward following a wave of his hand. The epic-quality exotic beast was at its weakest right now. What were they waiting for, if they didn't use this opportunity to kill it now?

Luo Wenjun and the others gave the commands to their respective legend-quality beasts. A dozen or so legend-quality beasts quickly surrounded the epic-quality exotic beast, ganging up on it.

Although it had slipped into a weakened state after giving birth, that epic-quality exotic beast could finally act without fear. It struggled to move its weakened body, turning its head and smacked the Mutated Giant Ape's body with its claw, directly sending him flying away.

"Shit, don't die on me!"

Zhang Che was shocked. He hurriedly instructed the Unicorn at his side to prepare to bestow heal.

That was an enraged hit from a high-tier epic-quality beast! Given the Mutated Giant Ape's physical defense, he might not be able to withstand it!

In the next moment, however, the Mutated Giant Ape who was sent flying a dozen meters back crawled back up to his feet with difficulty. Although a big wound had appeared on his abdomen, his life wasn't threatened.

As an exceptional boxer, during the moment the epic-quality exotic beast attacked him, although it was already too late to dodge, he went along with the flow of force and backed off at the crucial moment. It looked like he was sent flying from the hit, but around half the force contained in the attack was negated.

If it were any other ordinary mid-tier legend-quality beast in his position, they would probably have turned into a streak of light and dissipated directly.

A mass of milky white splendor shot out from the Unicorn's spiral horn, falling on the Mutated Giant Ape's body. In only a few breaths' time, his injuries were mostly healed, and he became as vigorous and lively as a dragon or a tiger.

At this moment, their legend-quality beasts had finally surrounded that epic-quality exotic beast.

Since it had to look after its young, the epic-quality exotic beast couldn't move around freely. It could only forcibly endure the weakness it was feeling and keep smacking the legend-quality beasts flying one after another.

The Unicorn was kept busy for quite a while. Milky white splendor almost never stopped shooting out from the tip of its horn, fully taking on the duty of a combat medic.

Luo Wenjun's brow creased deeply. He directly spat out Tian Xing City's go-to curse words, "Screw its mom! That fellow is already weakened to this degree, why is it still so strong? If not for Brother Zhang's healing-type subdued beast, we wouldn't have stood any chance at all today!"

Originally, in such situations, they should be able to heavily injure the epic-quality exotic beasts by having all their beasts use their skills to bombard it at the same time.

However, Zhang Che and the others were feeling apprehensive, too. They were afraid of hurting that baby exotic beast; it was an extremely valuable treasure. Their gains would be halved if they accidentally killed it.

As such, the state of the battle came to a standstill.

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of a way to break the stalemate.

Under the current circumstances, the epic-quality exotic beast was unable to unleash its False Domain due to exhausting large amounts of vital energy after giving birth. Zhang Che's hidden trumps were totally capable of killing it.

No matter the scarlet sword or the Purple Crystal Tortoise's skill, both were capable of severely injuring it.

However, Zhang Che didn't wish to reveal his cards in front of others casually.

Both attacks were his life-saving killing moves. How could he use them so easily unless it was a crucial moment?

There was no other choice; he could only go forth and fight himself!

With his mind made up, the Purple Crystal Tortoise at Zhang Che's side quickly turned into a purple streak of light and coiled around him, transforming into a purple tortoise shell-like armor. At the same time, another five-colored ray of light shot out from his brow. The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword's exaggerated form appeared before Luo Wenjun and the others for the first time.

They were stunned at the sight.

-What the heck, does it need to be this exaggerated? An Original Combat Body-type subdued beast actually transformed into armor?- This was something they had never heard of before.

Moreover, Zhang Che even had a legend-quality beast card weapon!

This brat's spiritual sea must be like a huge treasure chest; you could retrieve anything you wanted, right?

"Brother Zhang, this is…" Luo Wenjun stared when he saw Zhang Che's battle-ready appearance. He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. Could it be…?

"There's no time to waste!" Zhang Che's muffled voice rang out from under the armor. Afterwards, under their shocked gazes, he stepped forth with a heavy step, and his body shot forward like a purple cannonball, directly charging towards the battleground a few hundred meters ahead.

"He's really doing this!"

Luo Wenjun and the others were speechless, only feeling that Zhang Che was simply too brave!

They had only heard of high-tier beastmasters taking action personally. That was only possible because their bodies were enhanced by their soul force, their physiques becoming far superior to ordinary people. Now, a mid-tier beastmaster like him actually dared to do the same. It was too shocking!

-Wait, that kid mentioned something about him consuming a spiritual flower in the beast world previously, gaining herculean strength!- they immediately thought. However, their expressions only became even more shocked.

He was only a mid-tier beastmaster, and he already had the strength to face exotic beasts head-on in battle. When he rose to a high-tier beastmaster in the future, and his body was nourished and altered by soul force, wouldn't he become an inhuman existence?

In front of their shocked gazes, Zhang Che sped across the few hundred meters, arriving at the battlefront.

At this moment, the group of allied beasts and the epic-quality exotic beast's battle had reached a climax.

Although their beasts hadn't been able to deal any real damage to the epic-quality beast, that fellow was fighting such a chaotic battle right after giving birth. The fresh blood had basically flowed non-stop from its lower body. A large pool of blood had gathered underneath it.

Meanwhile, whenever their beasts were injured, the Unicorn would immediately heal them. Their strength was simply endless. If things continued developing like this, it was very likely that they could slowly grind that epic-quality exotic beast to death.

However, Zhang Che knew that things wouldn't go so smoothly.

Once that epic-quality beast realized that there was no way out, heavens knew if it would go on a rampage, swatting down every fly circling around it?

Zhang Che couldn't afford to risk it. As such, he could only choose to take action personally.

When he was almost upon them, the exotic beast's attributes finally appeared in Zhang Che's sight.

Chapter 326: I Choose The Baby

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Beads of cold sweat formed on Zhang Che's forehead when he saw the Wind God Leopard's attributes.

Fortunately, due to it exhausting majority of its vital energy, it was unable to use its False Domain. Otherwise, how could they possibly kill it? Even running would be a problem!

Not only that, the Wind God Leopard didn't even need the power of False Domain. With just its basic combat strength, it could overpower their subdued beasts easily! The difference in strength between mid-tier legend-quality beasts and high-tier epic-quality beasts was truly too great.

Similarly, due to having given birth, the Wind God Leopard had no way to escape. Otherwise, it just had to activate its Wind Surge skill and the group could only watch as it escaped. There was no way they could give chase.

As for why the Wind God Leopard's potential was only at E Rank, Zhang Che didn't find it strange at all. For exotic beasts, their potential actually didn't hold much meaning. Their potential only determined how strong they could become. It had no relation to their actual strength at all.

Not only that, Zhang Che also came to the conclusion of a rule. It was that a subdued beast's Potential Rank seemed to be never changing, but every increase in level or quality would exhaust their potential upgrades by one.

For example, if a subdued beast with B Rank potential underwent four upgrades in both level and quality, although the Potential shown from his data eyes would still display B Rank, it was already impossible for it to become any stronger.

Exotic beasts shouldn't be like this, however. Their displayed potential should be related to their current strength.

In other words, the higher an exotic beast's level and quality was, the lower their displayed potential would be.

Zhang Che even suspected that exotic beasts at the top level and quality might not even have the Potential attribute anymore, because they were already at the end of the line, with no way to go a step further.

That epic-quality exotic beast didn't notice Zhang Che's arrival, because his aura didn't threaten it at all. At this moment, it was fully focused on the group of legend-quality beasts around it. It dragged its weakened body around, sending every beast that dared to pounce at it flying, while at the same time guarding its baby beneath it.

Seeing Zhang Che had already closed in on the epic-quality exotic beast's side, the others' throats leapt into their throats.

Afterwards, they saw that epic-quality exotic beast suddenly roar in both shock and anger, and it directly jumped to the side.

At that moment, the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword in Zhang Che's hand emitted a blurry scarlet-black glow, striking at the epic-quality exotic beast's neck like a flash of lightning.

The Unparalleled Sharpness skill was activated. The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword that seemed ordinary at first seemed to become a godly weapon, threatening the Wind God Leopard! It clearly felt that it would definitely suffer an injury it couldn't withstand if it was struck by the blade.

However, just as the Wind God Leopard shifted its body to dodge the slash, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the Mutated Giant Ape had already pounced at it, not caring about their own safety to hold it in place. It had no way to avoid the strike at all.

Feeling a mix of surprise and anger, the Wind God Leopard roared out furiously, brandishing its claws and sending Zhang Che's babies flying. However, its neck was struck by the sword in the end.

A soft sound rang out. Zhang Che only felt a slight resistance from the sword. Afterwards, a dark light burst out from the blade, and it directly cut through the Wind God Leopard's fur, cutting halfway into its neck. Large amounts of fresh blood splashed out like springwater, drenching Zhang Che's face.

"Aooo….!" Following a pained cry, the Wind God Leopard turned around and lashed its two-meters-plus tail at Zhang Che. A dull whipping sound snapped against him, and he was sent flying from the impact, falling several meters away.

"Brother Zhang!" Luo Wenjun hurriedly cried out, feeling his heart tightened. If it wasn't for the fact that he knew he was no match for that epic-quality exotic beast, he would have rushed forward.

Even so, Zhang Che seemed unaffected by the hit despite being sent flying several meters away. He quickly jumped up to his feet and charged back towards the heavily injured Wind God Leopard like a cannonball.

Given the Purple Crystal Armor's defense, how could attacks with such wide surface area possibly injure Zhang Che?

"Hanming, keep it in place!" Zhang Che yelled. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon slithered his way forward, his slim body immediately restricting the greatly slowed Wind God Leopard holding it in place.

The Wind God Leopard realized that the death's door was right before its eyes. It struggled violently, opening its jaws and biting down at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's body.

A crisp snapping sound rang out. A big wound was torn open on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's crystallized body. Following the burst of strength from the Wind God Leopard, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's body directly broke in two starting from where the bite wound was, no longer able to lock the Wind God Leopard in place.

At that moment, a scarlet-black sword light tore through the space, slashing ferociously at the Wind God Leopard's neck where it was already wounded. With a snapping sound, the exotic beast fell.

"My god! What weapon is that?! It can even cut down a high-tier epic-quality beast in two slashes?" Luo Wenjun's eyes threatened to pop out from their sockets. "This brat is really a freaking monster! Fitted with a body full of top-grade equipment and subdued beasts. Perhaps he might have even more aces hidden up his sleeve!"

With a final miserable cry, the Wind God Leopard's decapitated head, which had rolled off to the side, took a final look at its child unwillingly. Then it turned into a rainbow streak of light, together with the headless body.

After the two masses of rainbow light came together and quickly condensed, a rainbow card with seven hexagrams on it appeared before Zhang Che's eyes.

"A seven-star epic-quality beast! What a historic moment!"

Zhang Che felt a surge of emotions. He dispelled the Purple Crystal Armor around himself and took two steps forward, picking up the beast card, then looked at the baby Wind God Leopard laying on the grass, its entire body wet.

Zhang Che's pupils shrank slightly when he looked at it.

The baby beast's fur was greenish-black, and its appearance was slightly different from the Wind God Leopard, too.

Zhang Che's eyes darted about for a moment, and he immediately picked up the baby exotic beast, whose eyes were still unopened, and turned to walk in Luo Wenjun and the others' direction.

As for the watchers, they were jumping for joy, quickly running towards Zhang Che as well.

"Wahaha, Brother Zhang, you're too freaking awesome, too awesome!"

Luo Wenjun was speaking gibberish from overexcitement. This was a high-tier epic-quality exotic beast! Although they took advantage of its moment of weakness, it was still very impressive of Zhang Che to slay it!

For at least the past few decades, a mid-tier beastmaster defeating and slaying a high-tier epic-quality beast was unheard of!

It would truly shock everyone if they talked about it!

"It was only luck that I accomplished our mission!" Zhang Che smiled faintly. He brought the seven-star epic-quality beast card to Luo Wenjun.

Luo Wenjun's face froze for a moment, hints of struggle showing in his gaze for about two seconds. In the end, he pushed Zhang Che's hand away resolutely and said, "Brother Zhang, it's almost entirely your own effort that we managed to kill this exotic beast. If I take that beast card in spite of that, I really don't have the face to show myself in this world if this were to get out. I'd better take the baby beast. In any case, I only have to take care of it patiently for a few years and it'll probably grow up into an adult."

Zhang Che shook his head, maintaining his smile. He said, "Big Brother Luo, don't turn me down. You are the one who gave me the opportunity and brought me here. How can I possibly vie with you over this? Moreover, I've only barely reached Tier Five. Who knows how long it will be before I rose to Tier Seven? So, wouldn't it be better if you take the beast card?"

Seeing the sincere look on Zhang Che, Luo Wenjun no longer declined. He laughed heartily, "Alright, then this brother will accept your favor. I'm at the peak of Tier Six, anyway. I'll be able to use it right away after rising to Tier Seven!"

Zhang Che heaved a sigh of relief stealthily, holding the rather ugly baby exotic beast in his arms a little tighter.

Chapter 327: The Miyazaki Clan That Was Getting More and More Out of Line

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Having successfully killed the seven-star epic-quality Wind God Leopard and obtained its baby, Zhang Che and the others had achieved their objectives on this trip perfectly.

For such glorious results, they had only lost a mid-tier dark gold-quality subdued beast. Perhaps no one would ever believe them if they told stories about it.

However, this was the result of owning of a powerful healing-type subdued beast!

If it wasn't for Zhang Che's Unicorn, even if they managed to slay the Wind God Leopard in with their legendary beasts, they would have lost at least half of them!

Of course, even if they lost all of their subdued beasts, it would still be a good trade under normal circumstances.

According to market price, a five-star legend-quality beast card cost a million purple crystal points at the very least. However, a seven-star epic-quality beast card was definitely worth more than fifty million purple crystal points!

Beast cards at such a level and quality were definitely top-grade stuff to the whole world. Ordinary small to medium-sized clans might not even have one of them.

It could be said that after gaining the Wind God Leopard beast card, there would be no one in the younger generation of the Luo family with the qualifications to vie against Luo Wenjun for the position of family head when he reached Tier Seven.

To a clan, a seven-star epic-quality subdued beast wasn't just a symbol of strength. With such a powerful subdued beast, Luo Wenjun could slaughter his way through the beast world in the future. The resources he would obtain simply couldn't be measured.

Of course, doing so had certain risks, too!

If he wished to obtain powerful beast cards, he had to enter extremely deep into the beast world. If he was unlucky and came across a divine-quality exotic beast, it would be tragic.

"Brother Zhang, I, Luo Wenjun, will remember this! If any trouble comes up in the future, just give me a call. I'll even go climb a mountain of swords and cross a sea of fire with you!"

Luo Wenjun's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although no one knew if they would change in the future, this was his true feelings at the moment.

Zhang Che felt embarrassed inside. However, he still put on a natural smile and waved his hand, denying the compliment, "Nah, Brother Luo, I'm already very happy to get the baby of a high-tier epic-quality exotic beast. We're brothers; let's not speak such courteous words!"

-Mhm, if you keep showing this grateful look, I'll feel very guilty inside…-

"Hahahaha…" Luo Wenjun laughed heartily. He nodded heavily and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let us return to Tian Xing City immediately. I'll reserve the whole Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant tonight. We'll have a blast; no going home sober!"

The group immediately got on their flying beasts, flying back in the direction of the safety zone.

——

The journey back was just like when they came. Although they encountered quite a few decent exotic beasts, none of them were interested in hunting them, so those exotic beasts escaped disaster.

They sped along, and finally exited the beast world before the sky turned dark.

Just as they crossed the spatial gateway, the personal terminal on Zhang Che's left wrist immediately vibrated.

He was surprised. Zhang Che hurriedly opened it, and saw that Liu Gang had sent him a message.

-Could it be that the Miyazaki Clan made a move again?-

Zhang Che's expression changed. He immediately opened the message, and darkness quickly shrouded his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, filled with tremendous killing intent.

"What happened, Brother Zhang?" Luo Wenjun immediately asked when he saw Zhang Che's expression seemed off.

Zhang Che shook his head lightly, saying, "It's nothing much. Just some small matters happened at home, but my men have already settled it."

Luo Wenjun's eyes widened in displeasure, and he said loudly, "You're not being brotherly enough! Just say it if you're met with any trouble! In Tian Xing City, there are rarely any matters my Luo family can't settle. If some fool has offended your family members, I'll make sure they can't continue living in Tian Xing City!"

Seeing Luo Wenjun had put it that way, Zhang Che found it inappropriate to hide things from him. He confessed directly, "Back when we were going to enter the secret plane, I set up a few Japanese people, and one of them turned out to be the descendant of the Japanese Miyazaki Clan. When we returned from the secret plane, they tried to take revenge on me, but I managed to resolve the matter. Unexpectedly, during my stay here at Tian Xing City, they tried sending people to make a move on my mother. Luckily my men discovered things in time and nothing serious happened."

"Japanese?" Luo Wenjun's eyes widened. Anger showed on his face. He grit his teeth, snarling, "Since when did the Japanese dare to come find trouble in Tian Xing City? Rest assured, Brother Zhang. Our Luo family hates the Japanese the most! I'll tell my old man about this when I get back; I'll surely help you dig out every single Japanese in Tian Xing City!"

Zhang Che quickly raised his hand and stopped him, saying, "No need for that, Big Brother Luo. That person had already been dealt with. It's not good to escalate this any further."

From Liu Gang's message, it was clearly mentioned that the beastmaster was captured by them before he managed to take any action. However, they weren't able to get any information out of him before he killed himself by rupturing a poisonous tooth. He was probably a suicide warrior, and it would probably be impossible to find out anything from him.

Moreover, even if they managed to get the names of a few people, what would that accomplish?

Methods that only served to cure the symptoms wouldn't be able to unroot the problem once and for all.

Zhang Che was even starting to think that it was time to make a trip to Japan.

Seeing Zhang Che had no intentions of investigating further, Luo Wenjun could only nod and say, "Alright then. Do as you see fit. If there's anything you need my help on, just say the word. I don't dare to guarantee this anywhere else, but my Luo family does have some weight in Tian Xing City."

"Alright, I'll definitely tell you if there's anything I need your help with," Zhang Che thanked him, nodding.

Luo Wenjun sighed, "Looks like we can't get ourselves drunk tonight. You head back and take care of this matter first, Brother Zhang. We'll meet up again properly a few days from now."

——

After returning to Tian Xing City, Zhang Che didn't go to his great-aunt's place immediately. Instead, he went to look for Liu Gang and the others, who were secretly protecting them, and listened to their story in detail.

This time, the assassin sent by the Miyazaki Clan didn't attack using subdued beasts. They probably didn't want to draw the attention of Hua Xia's authorities. They only sent a suicide warrior to assassinate Sun Lan from afar with a sniper rifle.

Fortunately, Zhang Che was prepared for this, having brought the three veterans to protect her.

In the moment the suicide warrior revealed a hint of killing intent, Liu Gang and the others immediately sensed his existence. They quickly blocked off his line of fire and captured him alive afterwards.

Regrettably, when the assassin realized he couldn't escape after some struggles, he ruptured the poisonous tooth hidden in his mouth resolutely, instantly killing himself to prevent being tortured for information.

"Troubles shouldn't implicate family… they're the devils, indeed. No matter which world it is, they're so shameless! Miyazaki Clan, you just wait!"

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes, his killing intent surging.

If the Miyazaki Clan was only targeting Zhang Che, he could endure their revenge. After all, he was the one who did their descendant dirty first. Being taken revenge upon was only him reaping what he sowed.

However, they actually targeted his mother so shamelessly. This sent Zhang Che over the edge!

He felt that it was very necessary for him to make a trip to Japan and let them know what it was like to offend a powerful beastmaster who could disguise himself as he pleased!

Chapter 328: Super Divine Tier!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Admittedly, Zhang Che wasn't very strong compared to the huge Miyazaki Clan.

However, ambushing and whatnot was what he was best at!

He didn't even need to employ firearms. The arrows shot from the Fallen Star bow were extremely powerful. Unless the target was a high-tier beastmaster or was prepared for it, no one would be able to walk away unharmed.

-All I did was set up a descendant of yours, didn't I?

-Just come at me if you have the ability to. I have no opinion on that.

-But you shamelessly targeting my defenseless mother like that is too much!-

Zhang Che laughed coldly inside. -We'll see how many more talented descendants your Miyazaki Clan has. I'll kill them slowly, one by one. Let's see if you'll feel the pain!

-Of course, if it's the kind of genius whose beastmaster tier has already reached high-tier, I'll just let them off. This Fisherman Zhang isn't that ruthless of a person…-

——

After expressing his thanks to Liu Gang and the others again, Zhang Che returned to his great-aunt's place, making it just in time for dinner.

"You're back, Xiaoche. Come on, we're just about to eat!" Sun Shaoying's family welcomed him warmly.

Putting aside the fact that he was Sun Shaoying's only great-nephew, with his strength and network, which relative would dare to slight someone like him?

Although Sun Shaoying and her husband were too embarrassed to ask Zhang Che for help, if Xi Wenshan's business were to fail in the future, they'd throw their pride out of the window and ask this great-nephew to help him out.

"Ah, what a cute little kitty, Big Brother Zhang Che. Is it for Xin'er?" Lin Xin'er's round eyes immediately twinkled brightly when she saw the greenish-black baby exotic beast in Zhang Che's arms, jumping towards him.

Cold sweat formed on Zhang Che's forehead. This fellow was his lifeblood; how could he give it to her as a pet?

"Don't mess around, Xin'er. That is a present your Big Brother Zhang Che is going to gift to a big sister. You can't go snatching it."

Fortunately, Xi Muyun came over in time and pulled Lin Xin'er away.

Seeing how Lin Xin'er looked like she was going to cry, Zhang Che couldn't help but feel his heart soften. He said, "Does Xin'er like these little animals? Then big brother will go catch one for you as a pet tomorrow, alright?"

Zhang Che thought to himself, -With my current strength, it shouldn't be too difficult to go catch a baby exotic beast with unopened eyes in the beast world.-

Speaking of which, he really hadn't given them any presents since coming to visit his great-aunt.

It was better not to give them worldly possessions like money. They were his seniors; it seemed to be in bad taste if he just gave them money directly.

If he chose to gift them beast cards, however, only his uncle Xi Wenshan was a beastmaster in their family, and only a Tier Three one at that, while the others were only ordinary people. Moreover, that uncle of his wasn't someone who was willing to risk himself in the beast world. If thoughts of trying to make it big in the beast world were born in his head because Zhang Che gave him a powerful beast card, wouldn't he be harming the man instead?

Since this little cousin loved little animals, he could use this opportunity to gift her a decent baby exotic beast as a pet. It would be a great help to her when it grew up.

"Really? Then let's pinky swear!" Lin Xin'er blinked her round eyes a few times, extending her tender pinky towards Zhang Che for the second time.

"Okay, we'll pinky swear!"

——

After a blissful dinner together, the two families went to take a walk in the park near the neighborhood. The sky had turned fully dark by then.

At night, Zhang Che lay on his bed in the guest room, looking at the bunched-up baby exotic beast. Its eyes had yet to open even now, giving Zhang Che a headache.

It's been over half a day. Gods knew what this little fellow liked to eat. It better not starve to death, or Zhang Che would have no one to cry to.

When he thought of this little fellow's attributes, Zhang Che couldn't help but feel ecstatic, thinking that this trip wasn't a wasted one!

[Umbra Wind God Leopard] [Newborn]

Level: One Star (Level 1) [Able to Reach Nine Stars When Fully Grown]

Quality: Silver [Able to Reach Super Divine When Fully Grown]

Characteristics: Darkness and Wind Dual-Attributed Beast. Has Perfect Control of Dark and Wind Energies When Matured

Weakness: Restrained by Light Attributed Beasts of Equal Level and Quality

Innate Attribute: Dark and Wind Elemental Mastery. Able to Borrow the Powers of Both Elements to Take Flight, Attack, Defend, and Conceal Itself. [Is Too Weak Currently, Unable to Display the Full Extent of the Effects.]

Skill: Unawakened

Domain: Unawakened

Those were the full attributes of the slightly ugly baby beast.

Zhang Che could only say that the attributes were through the roof!

When he first saw the Umbra Wind God Leopard's attributes, Zhang Che nearly roared out in laughter at the skies. Luckily he managed to forcibly suppress his laughter, but he just couldn't stay calm afterwards.

Heck, this was a beast that could reach nine-star super divine-quality when matured! Would it perhaps be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder against that divine bird?

Zhang Che had no answer. However, even if it couldn't reach that divine bird's terrifying level, it shouldn't be far off, right?

Super Divine-quality. As its name suggested, that was a tier higher than divine-quality.

Zhang Che was really curious as to who this little fellow's father was like, to pass down such great genes. It should be a divine-quality beast at the very least, right?

However, from the looks of it, the little fellow's mother, which was the Wind God Leopard Zhang Che slew, seemed to have failed in capturing that unknown powerful exotic beast's heart. Otherwise, why would it have run to that mountain range alone to give birth?

Could it be a fight within the harem? Thinking of that, Zhang Che almost felt disgusted by his own thoughts.

No matter what, however, this had worked in his favor, allowing him to gain such a powerful baby.

By the way, Zhang Che's hypothesis from before was finally proven to be true by the Umbra Wind God Leopard's attributes. Exotic beasts of the highest grade had evolved to the top of the line, and they no longer had the Potential attribute.

However, all of this didn't matter. Zhang Che didn't know how much time and resources would be needed to raise this little fellow into adulthood. It went without saying that the process for such a pet to truly grow had to be incredibly difficult.

After all, he wasn't in the beast world, and he wasn't the little fellow's biological parents. Zhang Che had no way of raising it in the most perfect way.

Moreover, for these baby exotic beasts, milk produced by their mothers should be the best food for them during their infancy, allowing them to grow rapidly.

It was ultimately useless, however. The Wind God Leopard was already slain by Zhang Che. Where would he find milk for the baby from?

As for ordinary cow's milk, goat's milk, or whatever, it went without saying that it was useless. With just that pathetic amount of nutrients, it would be not bad if it didn't starve the baby exotic beast to death.

It looked like Zhang Che had to start worrying about food for this little fellow from tomorrow onwards.

He let out a deep sigh. Zhang Che didn't know if he could raise this little thing to adulthood even after spending all his purple crystal points.

It had to be mentioned that things which could feed high-grade pets wouldn't be cheap. The stronger the baby exotic beast was, the more expensive it was to feed them.

It could be said that the baby of a powerful exotic beast truly wasn't something ordinary people, or even ordinary beastmasters, could afford to raise. Unless they didn't mind not raising the baby exotic beast to the best of their potential, they could probably feed them anything…

"Right, I wonder if the rainbow crystal's energy works?"

The moment he thought of that, Zhang Che's eyes lit up.

Chapter 329: Finished Refurbishing the Lab

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Since the rainbow crystal's energy could be transmitted through a special channel, then it should be possible to feed it to the Umbra Wind God Leopard, right?

Thinking of that, Zhang Che immediately grew excited.

Compared to its mother's milk, high-grade food, or whatever, the rainbow crystal's energy was definitely far better!

How could he not see how his pets didn't need to eat, and could still grow at such a quick rate, not losing out to subdued beasts at all?

Zhang Che quickly put his thoughts into action. He immediately made a request of the rainbow crystal in his spiritual sea, and a unique channel of energy was opened. A gentle, yet immense energy flowed through that channel into the Umbra Wind God Leopard's body.

As the energy entered its body, the little fellow actually opened its mouth and moaned softly. Its eyelids twitched a few times, seemingly about to open them.

"It works, as expected!" Zhang Che was filled with joy.

In the next moment, however, a rainbow talismanic rune flew out, passing through the channel of energy and imprinted itself deeply onto the soul of the Umbra Wind God Leopard without the slightest resistance from him.

Zhang Che was slightly taken aback. Something seemed a little off.

-Did the little fellow agree to what the rainbow crystal did? Although… babies who were just born like this little fellow don't seem to know how to reject the spiritual branding..?-

After a short moment of spacing out, Zhang Che couldn't resist smiling. Of course, this was the best result he could hope for!

After all, there was a chance of ordinary pets turning against their masters. Despite the low chance, it was still a potential danger, especially since the Umbra Wind God Leopard's potential was a little too frightening. When he matured, he would be a nine-star super divine-quality beast. If he turned against Zhang Che, the latter would have no way to fight back.

All was well now, with the rainbow crystal big boss having planted a spiritual rune on him. Even if the Umbra Wind God Leopard matured to his peak, he would only listen to Zhang Che obediently. It was impossible for him to turn against Zhang Che.

Thinking of that, Zhang Che finally let out a long sigh of relief.

All future worries were resolved. Going forward, he only had to patiently wait for the day the Umbra Wind God Leopard grew to his peak. At that time, he would truly have no fear for anything or anyone!

But he had no idea how long that would take…

In his excitement, Zhang Che lost every bit of sleepiness. As such, he opened up his personal terminal and started learning the Japanese language.

If he wanted to go find trouble with the Miyazaki Clan in Japan, he had to know a little bit of their language, more or less.

Regarding this, Zhang Che felt that he had an advantage. After watching so many spicy hot videos in his previous life, he had been greatly interested in their language. He had learned a little from those videos, more or less. Although it wasn't really applicable, it was still extremely helpful to him.

Moreover, since the golden vortex had appeared in his spiritual sea, Zhang Che felt that his learning ability had greatly improved. His memory and comprehension was far better than before.

He estimated that it shouldn't take much time to master Japanese to a certain level.

He found a paid Japanese lessons channel on the web. There were detailed lessons there, and could be replayed endlessly. It was as good as Zhang Che finding a fully dedicated Japanese language teacher teaching him one-on-one.

Of course, it wasn't cheap. However, with Zhang Che's current wealth, it was nothing. He didn't even put it to heart.

——

That night, Zhang Che dreamt again.

In his dreams, the Umbra Wind God Leopard had grown up into a super divine beast that could enter the heavens or descend into the hells, slaying any beings who dared to stand in his way. Meanwhile, Zhang Che followed behind him, picking up trophies until his limbs went weak. In the end, he even filled a spatial equipment with unlimited space to the brim, and had no choice but to pile up the excess into a mountain before him…

When he woke up the next morning, Zhang Che remembered his promise to little Xin'er and set off towards the beast world again.

This time, however, he didn't go to the beast world where he hunted the Wind God Leopard. That particular beast world was hundreds of kilometers from Tian Xing City; it wasted too much time.

In any case, he was only going to look for a baby exotic beast that had just been born. There was no need for him to go so far away.

Originally, Zhang Che thought it would be a very simple matter.

After entering the beast world, he finally understood how difficult it was to find an exotic beast who was about to give birth, especially those that weren't too strong. Once they were nearing childbirth, they would choose to hide in extremely secluded places, afraid of being discovered by other creatures.

Zhang Che flew on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon in the skies for close to half a day, covering several thousand square kilometers, and didn't find a single exotic beast about to give birth.

In the end, seeing as there weren't many strong exotic beasts nearby, Zhang Che decided to summon the Mutated Giant Ape and the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus. He even had the Purple Jade Condor scout from the sky. Finally, in the late afternoon, they found a fox-like exotic beast hiding in a rock forest waiting to give birth, and completed this difficult mission.

Zhang Che guessed that his luck should be considered pretty decent. Otherwise, he might not have finished this mission for a few days.

It was normal when he thought about it. If an exotic beast who was about to give birth was so easily discovered, no one would have to go through so many difficulties to hunt exotic beasts. They could just look for these beasts about to conceive and get rich quickly.

Within the beastmaster circle, baby exotic beasts who had yet to open their eyes, or exotic beast eggs, were all goods in extremely high demand. Their worth was several times higher than beast cards of similar tier.

That fox-like exotic beast they found wasn't very strong, only at four-star gold-quality. The two little foxes it gave birth to weren't some powerful crossbreed exotic beasts, either, with potential matching that of their mother.

Well, that was only in Zhang Che's opinion.

If it were any ordinary person, they would surely go crazy from happiness if they got two baby exotic beasts that would mature into four-star gold-quality beasts!

—-

Lin Xin'er didn't go crazy. However, when she received the two little foxes, her round eyes narrowed into slits in excitement. She even forbade anyone else from touching them.

A child like her didn't understand the value of the two baby exotic beasts. However, Sun Shaoying and the others were very grateful towards Zhang Che. At the same time, they were incredibly worried.

That was two baby exotic beasts that would mature into four-star gold-quality! Their value, when converted into dollars, would be in the hundreds of millions. However, to raise the two baby exotic beasts to adulthood, the expenses were definitely sky-high, too. It wouldn't be possible without at least a few tens of millions of dollars.

Zhang Che was naturally aware of this, too. Therefore, he directly exchanged ten thousand purple crystal points on his personal terminal and transferred around a hundred million dollars to his cousin Xi Muyun's account.

He had to clarify that these were funds specifically for little Xin'er to feed her pets, so that they didn't reject her. They would never have accepted the money otherwise.

In order to express their gratitude towards Zhang Che, Sun Shaoying's family hardened themselves and booked a table for dinner at the first story of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, and the two families enjoyed a sumptuous meal happily.

This time, Zhang Che didn't fight over paying the bill. After all, this was their family's way of expressing their thanks.

—

The next day, Zhang Che went ahead and returned to Bei Du, because he had received news from Liu Gang last night saying that the refurbishing of his beast card cultivation lab was finally completed!

As for his mother Sun Lan, she stayed in Tian Xing City.

It had been decades since she had returned to her hometown. Naturally she would want to be with her relatives for a little longer before returning to Bei Du.

Zhang Che had Liu Gang's squad remain in Tian Xing City as well, to continue protecting his mother in the dark, while he took a sky shuttle flight back to Bei Du.

The answer to whether the cultivating directions displayed by his data eyes worked would be revealed that afternoon!

Chapter 330: Do You Believe Psychic Abilities Exist in this World?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

"Zhang Xiaoche, didn't you go visit your relatives in Tian Xing City? Why did you call me back in such a hurry?" Huang Tielan asked, smiling brightly as she walked into the villa.

Come on, she was in the middle of a lesson earlier. As a model student, taking a leave of absence was a very bad habit!

Zhang Che walked up and embraced her, chuckling, "Can I say that I miss you and want to see you?"

"Tch , try bluffing a ghost! Can't you go to school to look for me if you miss me?" Huang Tielan pushed him away, rolling her eyes back. Afterwards, she took a glance at the Umbra Wind God Leopard behind Zhang Che and cried out happily, "Hah, is this a present for me?"

Zhang Che showed an awkward look. "Ugh, he is already my pet. Didn't you see his eyes are open?"

It was only now that Huang Tielan remembered this. She pouted her lips and said, "Alright then. This little thing is so ugly anyway. I might not like it even if you gave him to me."

Uh-hrm! Zhang Che cleared his throat, saying, "Alright, let's talk serious business. I constructed a lab next door. We're going to concoct cultivation fluid."

Huang Tielan was surprised. She stared at Zhang Che in disbelief, saying, "Eh? Since when did you learn to concoct cultivation fluid?"

"I don't know how to. All that matters is you do," Zhang Che answered in a matter-of-fact manner.

"But my success rate for concocting cultivation fluid isn't high. It might be possible if you have the recipe; if not, I have no confidence at all."

Huang Tielan wasn't even the most junior level beast card cultivator, nor did she have the experience of researching a recipe by herself. If he was to give her a beast card without the matching cultivation fluid recipe, it was almost impossible for her to successfully concoct a cultivation fluid.

While leading Huang Tielan to the villa next door, Zhang Che said, "Don't worry, I have the recipe. I got to know a powerful guy and asked him to research the recipe for me. This time, our love token can advance further."

"What love token?" Huang Tielan was taken aback. Her cheeks immediately flushed bright red afterwards, denying him. "Ew, your skin is really thick. I only gave you the beast card because I was afraid you might run into danger in the beast world. You're thinking too much, young man!"

"Hehe, is that so?"

Zhang Che had a cheap smile plastered all over his face, taunting Miss Tienan into chasing up to him and pinched him on his arm neither lightly nor heavily.

Well, with how strong Zhang Che's basic defense was now, he didn't feel any pain at all. However, in order to not strike a blow to her confidence, he cried out in an exaggerated manner, "No, please! I'll get a bruise!"

"I'll see if you dare act so shamelessly again!"

Huang Tielan softened inside and let go of her fingers, which she wasn't exerting much strength to begin with. She suddenly asked, "Right, which amazing beast card cultivator did you get acquainted with? Can you introduce that person to me? I feel like the things I learned in school are still lacking a little."

Zhang Che's heart thumped, not knowing if he should continue lying through his teeth. Sometimes, telling a single lie would lead to countless more lies to cover up the story. It would become really torturous to keep up with it later on.

Moreover, with how Huang Tielan treated him, was he still unable to trust her?

Most importantly, the data eyes weren't Zhang Che's biggest secret. It was better to explain things clearly to Miss Tielan, or it really wouldn't make sense if he kept taking out other concoction recipes in the future.

Such a brilliant beast card cultivator had yet to be born in this world, to be able to guarantee every recipe he researched was correct.

After deliberating for some time, Zhang Che decided to confess to Miss Tienan in the end. "Do you believe that psychic abilities exist in this world?"

Huang Tielan was confused. What did this have to do with beast card cultivators?

However, she nodded hesitantly and answered, "They probably do? After all, strange things like the spatial gateways and beast cards have appeared in the world. What is there that is impossible?

While the two chatted, they walked into the villa next door.

Zhang Che stopped at the main hall. First, he sensed his surroundings carefully, then said to Huang Tielan seriously, "I have a psychic ability that allows me to see the attributes of exotic beasts and beast cards in detail. Also, I can also know what the ingredients and the recipe is for the exotic beast to rise to the next level. Theoretically speaking, as long as I can find the required ingredients, I can ensure the advancement of any exotic beast at any level and quality. All I require is a beast card cultivator who is experienced with concocting beast card cultivation fluids."

Huang Tielan looked Zhang Che from head to tail suspiciously, then asked with her head tilted, "Zhang Xiaoche, are you sure you're not messing with me?"

Zhang Che sighed inside. -I knew you wouldn't believe me.-

Of course, that was only human nature. No matter who it was that heard such a ridiculous tale, they would choose to doubt its authenticity at first.

"Come, we'll go into the lab. Concoct the beast card cultivation fluid according to my recipe, and you'll know if I'm lying."

Zhang Che didn't try to explain any further. He grabbed Huang Tielan's hand and pulled her into the lab.

"Woah, such a complete and high-end set-up! Many of these things I have only seen before on the internet. Not even the teaching labs in our school have these devices!" Huang Tielan exclaimed excitedly the moment she walked into the lab.

After her initial excitement, she finally realized Zhang Che was being serious. He wouldn't have spent so much money on this if he was only trying to tease her, right?

"Zhang Xiaoche, is what you said earlier true?"

Zhang Che nodded seriously, "Of course. Did you think I'm really bluffing you?"

Huang Tielan's eyes immediately lit up. She suppressed her voice, saying, "Shh, lower your voice. You can't let anyone else hear this. Also, this matter can only be known to the both of us. You can't be so silly as to go tell another soul, understand? Or there will be big trouble."

Zhang Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Do you think I'm that stupid? If it wasn't because I was afraid you'd suspect me in the future, I wouldn't have told you that. I didn't want you to worry."

"Zhang Xiaoche, you little… you actually weren't planning on telling me? I'm telling you, no more hugs, and no more kisses. Wait until the day my anger subsides."

Zhang Xiaoche wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. He reprimanded himself for not filtering his words. Why did he suddenly become such an honest boy?

"Haha, that… actually…" he laughed dryly, "I was only kidding. There's no way I won't tell you."

Miss Tienan ignored him, and directly hurried him, "Faster, tell me the recipe and take out the ingredients. I'm so looking forward to this! I want to see if that special ability of yours is real!"

Zhang Che nodded. He summoned the Fiery Scorpion card from his spiritual sea, then went to get some pen and paper and wrote down the recipe to concoct the cultivation fluid to level up that fellow. Afterwards, he went to the cold storage room at the side and retrieved the required ingredients.

Zhang Che had asked for the store to deliver those ingredients when he was still on his way back. They were delivered right on time, just as he arrived home, and he had put them in the cold storage.

"Hm? Zhang Xiaoche, are you sure you didn't remember anything wrongly?" Huang Tielan suddenly asked suspiciously when she saw the beast card Zhang Che took out.

Chapter 331: Miss Tienan's Ambition

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

"What did I remember wrongly?" Zhang Che asked, confused. Afterwards, when he saw Miss Tienan looking at the beast card in his hand, he finally came to a realization and said, "Oh, you're talking about the beast card?"

Immediately after, with a thought from Zhang Che, the two-star gold-quality beast card in his hand turned into a mass of light and fell. The Fiery Scorpion's large body promptly appeared in the narrow lab.

"Eh? It's really the Fiery Scorpion!" Huang Tielan's bright and beautiful round eyes lit up. Afterwards, she stared at Zhang Che with a burning gaze and asked, "You're not that stupid to have told others about your psychic ability and had them raise its level and quality, did you?"

Zhang Che rolled his eyes back. He said, dumbfounded, "Am I that stupid? If it wasn't that I'm afraid you would surely suspect me in the future, I wouldn't… alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's my fault. I won't hide it from you… The Fiery Scorpion leveled up in battles. I don't have the capability to concoct the cultivation fluid myself. Well, of course, this fellow also ate quite a few good stuff. That's why both its level and quality rose."

Zhang Che naturally wouldn't say that the Fiery Scorpion's increase in quality was all thanks to the big boss rainbow crystal. That was too important of a secret; he would never reveal it.

Even if he exposed the data eye's abilities, there wouldn't be too many problems. If others were to learn of the rainbow crystal's existence, however, hehehe… Unless Zhang Che immediately changed his appearance and lived out his life with another identity, every important figure in the world would come entice or threaten him to hand it over, or even directly kill him.

As the saying went, the man himself bore no sin, but the sin lay with his possession. This was the truth no matter which world it was.

After hearing Zhang Che's explanation, Huang Tielan nodded and said regretfully, "How much good stuff did this fellow have to eat to upgrade both its level and quality? Since you had this ability, why didn't you tell me earlier? We could have concocted cultivation fluid to level it up; how much treasure would be saved…"

This time, Zhang Che didn't reply immediately. He was afraid of speaking thoughtlessly, leading to future headaches. If Miss Tienan really became angry, he could forget about even touching her hand!

"Uh-hrm… Wasn't it because you haven't become a beast card cultivator yet? Telling you wouldn't have changed anything. Hmm, now the time is just right."

"Hur hur!" Huang Tielan laughed inexplicably. Afterwards, she started to organize the ingredients on the experiment table. While doing so, she looked closely at the recipe Zhang Che wrote down, totally ignoring him.

Zhang Che: -I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Hmm, I probably shouldn't bring up this topic anymore.-

As such, Zhang Che smiled weakly and changed the topic, saying, "Tielan, I feel like you should wear that soft armor. After all, the concoction this time mostly consists of poisonous ingredients. You should be prepared in case anything goes wrong."

Huang Tielan rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Do you think I have no idea what you're thinking? Hur hur, you already wrote down the recipe so clearly; if I make any mistakes here, I can forget about working in this field and look for another career path."

After a short pause, she suddenly turned around and asked seductively, "Zhang Xiaoche, you really want to see it?"

Zhang Che was stunned for a moment, then nodded profusely.

"Wait until the day we get married. I'll wear it and show you then."

Zhang Che was speechless. -Can there be a little bit of trust between people…-

In the end, Miss Tienan cited that Zhang Che's presence would affect her performance and drove him out of the lab, leaving her alone to do whatever she had to do.

Zhang Che looked to the skies speechlessly. In the end, he opened up his personal terminal and started learning Japanese.

He had already made up his mind to head for Japan in the near future and keep the Miyazaki Clan busy, preventing them from always finding trouble with him.

As the saying went, always be the thief. Since when was there the logic of always guarding against a thief?

The best solution was to create chaos for the Miyazaki Clan, leaving them too busy to bother with him. For example, maybe they wouldn't keep looking for him if a few important figures of the clan died?

Hmm, at that time, he could even disguise himself as whatever ethnicity and let them notice him "by accident". With that, the Miyazaki Clan would surely have a great headache wondering what was going on.

When he thought of that, Zhang Che worked even harder to learn Japanese, so much so that he was even more focused than when watching adult videos in his previous life!

——

When someone was learning seriously, time passed by incredibly quickly. Zhang Che felt like only a short while had passed when he suddenly heard the lab's door being pulled open. Miss Tienan's excited laughter poured out.

"Zhang Xiaoche, I succeeded. It really works!"

Miss Tienan came running out like the wind. The golden beast card in her hand now had three hexagrams instead of two.

She ran up to Zhang Che with a happy look and said in suppressed voice, "Zhang Xiaoche, your ability really works!"

Zhang Che took the opportunity and hugged her tightly, chuckling by her ear, "Then I should congratulate my Miss Tienan for finally becoming an official beast card cultivator!"

"Go away. This is all because of the precise recipe. I couldn't have discovered the method to concoct it myself," Huang Tielan giggled. She squirmed her way out of Zhang Che's embrace and said excitedly, "But, from today on, I can research the attributes of beast cards and try formulating a recipe, then use your ability to check the correct answer. That way, I can have another reference and learn many more things."

Zhang Che came to a sudden realization when he heard what Huang Tielan said. It could be used this way!

That's right! There were countless variations of beast cards in the world. If ordinary beast card cultivators wanted to improve, they could only figure things out on their own. The amount of knowledge they could learn from others was almost negligible.

After all, even the best beast card cultivator wouldn't have a very high success rate; only relatively better than the others.

However, with Zhang Che's data eyes, Huang Tielan could be sure of the exact recipe to concoct the cultivation fluid for every beast card from now on. Before that, she just had to study the attributes of the beast cards and try to come up with the recipe on her own, then refer to the correct formula afterwards. Naturally she would learn much more that way.

It was like two students holding onto the same difficult test papers. One of them could only try to figure it out on their own, without knowing whether their answer was right or wrong. The other student, however, could try thinking of countless answers, then compare with the model answer.

It was obvious how much each of them would learn.

Zhang Che's eyes lit up. "In that case, wouldn't you become a real beast card cultivation master very quickly? And your achievements in the future wouldn't be little, either!"

Huang Tielan nodded confidently, "Of course. I'm destined to become the number one beast card cultivator in the world!"

"Mhm, then I'll be the number one beastmaster in the world. With this husband-and-wife duo combining our strengths, we'll be invincible!" Zhang Che went along with her with a cheap smile.

Huang Tielan raised her hand and pushed Zhang Che's face away, "Ew, you're disgusting…"

Zhang Che suddenly remembered something after they messed around for a bit and said to Huang Tielan, "Right, I have something else for you."

"What is it?" Huang Tielan asked, smiling, but she wasn't really looking forward to anything.

Well, it was mainly that Zhang Che gave her presents too often, leading to her greatly lowered anticipation.

Zhang Che chuckled and summoned a two-star dark gold-quality beast card. With a glow of light, a green sword with a unique design appeared in his hand.

Huang Tielan finally opened her mouth slightly in surprise. She said in disbelief, "This is… a Mutated Puffersword?"

While speaking, she summoned her own one-star gold-quality Mutated Puffersword and compared it with the one in Zhang Che's hand. She discovered that their length and color differed slightly, but everything else seemed the same.

-That is strange. Why is the one he gifted me one-star gold-quality, but his is two-star dark gold-quality?-

Seeing the confused look on Huang Tielan, Zhang Che chuckled, "Strange, isn't it? Because yours is a female and mine is a male. Naturally it will be a star and quality higher than yours."

Originally, Huang Tielan was going to listen to Zhang Che's explanation properly. When she heard the later part, she immediately ground her teeth, "Zhang Xiaoche, you just can't stop being irritating, huh!?"

After messing around for a little while more, Zhang Che said, "Right, I'll write down the cultivation fluid recipe for you later. Level it up when you have the time. It'll be three stars then, complementing your beastmaster tier!"

Huang Tielan smiled so brightly that her eyes narrowed into slits. She nodded and said, "Don't be in a hurry to write it down. Let me study it for some time first; I want to see how many ingredients I'll get right."

Mmm, as expected of a studious girl. She was ready to start working on it immediately!

——

Miss Tienan didn't have any classes in the afternoon. She stayed in the villa, carefully researching and formulating a recipe for the two-star dark gold-quality Mutated Puffersword, while Zhang Che studied Japanese on the lawn in the courtyard.

He discovered that ever since the golden vortex had appeared in his spiritual sea, his memory and comprehension ability had more than doubled.

Although he only studied for a few days, together with whatever knowledge of the language he had accumulated in his previous life, Zhang Che realized that he was progressing at rocket speed. He estimated that he could probably reach elementary proficiency in the language in a few more days, and would be able to engage in simple conversation in Japanese.

What a terrifying ability…

He felt that if he lived in a Japanese environment for a short time, he'd quickly get a good grasp on the language.

This speed was simply as if he had a cheat turned on!

—

After an afternoon of research, when Zhang Che wrote down the recipe for the Mutated Puffersword's cultivation fluid, Huang Tielan discovered, to her dejection, that she only got two ingredients right, not to mention the method to use them was completely wrong.

From the looks of it, the road to becoming the number one beast card cultivator would be a long and tough one!

However, Miss Tienan wasn't someone who admitted defeat easily. During the next few days, she bought a bunch of garbage-tier beast cards and had Zhang Che provide her with the recipes from his data eyes. Afterwards, she went on to research them as if her life depended on it.

Zhang Che wasn't idling around, either. Since Miss Tienan had no time to keep him company, he spent his time studying Japanese, striving to raise his proficiency in Japanese to the next level.

——

Time quickly passed by while Zhang Che studied seriously. Five days went by before he realized it.

On that afternoon, Sun Lan finally returned to Bei Du City under the secret protection of Liu Gang and the others.

Sun Shaoying and her husband, Xi Hai, came back with her, too. They had never been away from Tian Xing City since the start of the new age, and they wanted to see the changes to the world. At Sun Lan's invitation, they tagged along without any hesitation.

During those five days, the Miyazaki Clan didn't try any further tricks against Sun Lan.

However, not only did Zhang Che not feel safe, he even grew warier.

With the Japanese's damnable nature, they might be cooking up some big plans. If so, it would become much harder for Zhang Che to guard against them.

As such, he planned to set off for Japan tomorrow.

If it wasn't for his great-aunt and great-uncle's visit to Bei Du, Zhang Che would have departed today. Since there were guests visiting, him leaving just like that was very impolite, and he could only stay at home for another day, keeping his mother and relatives company and going touring around some places of historic interest in Bei Du.

The next morning, Zhang Che bade farewell to everyone and walked around in Bei Du's city district, turning into Sun Che. Afterwards, he bought a sky shuttle ticket to Japan's Rejing, set to fly off at 9 AM sharp to the far east. {TLN: Rejing is the Mercury's equivalent of Tokyo.}

——

Rejing, Japan…

In a traditional-styled building hidden deep within the mountains and forests, two middle-aged men sat facing one another.

The two men were dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. The man facing west had a healthy complexion and a tall build. While extending his arms and pouring tea from the small side table, he said, "Musashi-kun, you're aware of the reason why I called you back this time. I hope Musashi-kun can agree to this request of mine, for the sake of the clan's honor."

With a cold appearance and a reserved gaze, Miyazaki Musashi nodded expressionlessly and replied, "Please rest assured, Takehara-kun. This is exactly why I came back from the beast world."

Miyazaki Takehara immediately smiled radiantly, "Great! With Musashi-kun taking action, this time that Chinese brat is dead for sure!"

"But, I need all the information on that brat," Miyazaki Musashi said plainly, still not showing any expression. He continued, "Any beastmaster who could come out alive from the secret plane will not be simple. You should have reflected on that the first time your plan failed, and not continued taking action against his close ones. That would only arouse his vigilance and achieve nothing."

Although Miyazaki Takehara didn't agree with what he said, he showed a look that suggested he benefited from the advice. He nodded and said, "Right, Musashi-kun's analysis is right on point. We realized our mistakes, and thus decided to ask Musashi-kun to take action in the end, aiming to end this problem once and for all."

Miyazaki Musashi nodded slightly, "Give me three days. I'll set off for Hua Xia three days from now."

"Good, I'll be waiting patiently for Musashi-kun's good news then!" Miyazaki Takehara clapped his palms together. He raised his cup of tea and offered a toast to the other with a big smile.

However, unbeknownst to them, Zhang Che was already on a sky shuttle flight, about to step on the soil of Japan.

No one could predict what would happen next.

Even Zhang Che wouldn't know how huge of a wave he would stir.

Everything was silently heading in an unknown direction…

Chapter 333: First Experience in Rejing

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

On the twenty-first of August, year thirty-six of the new age, 12:18 PM…

Zhang Che walked out of the Rejing airport, observing the ridiculously young city. The current Rejing was no longer the Rejing of the past.

During the first arrival of the beast swarm, a total of eight spatial gateways had appeared in the surroundings of Rejing in one go. The exotic beasts had swarmed out from them endlessly, and had land and water-type exotic beasts among them.

Rejing was quickly met with tragedy.

A few years later, after surviving through the first beast swarm with much difficulty, the Japanese citizens discovered that Rejing was nothing but ruins. Almost all the buildings were destroyed by the powerful exotic beasts, as if a super intense modern warfare had occurred here. Everything before their eyes was ruined.

It had to be said that the Japanese were truly the most powerful ethnic group in certain aspects.

After the first beast swarm, they pumped in enormous amounts of labor and resources to rebuild Rejing from scratch. They also constructed countless defensive measures around the eight spatial gateways.

Afterwards, although the second and third beast swarms arrived with much larger and stronger numbers, the Japanese had miraculously defended their new Rejing, shocking the whole world.

A few decades had passed since then, the new Rejing had fully taken shape and no longer had a trace of the ruins from the past.

Someone with no knowledge of the history of this place could never imagine that this city was a purgatory-like ruin just thirty years ago.

Although Zhang Che couldn't see the full appearance of Rejing from where he stood, he could still feel the prosperity and congestion when he looked over it. Despite only taking in a tiny fraction of the city, he could see a glimpse of how Rejing had become the busiest city in Japan once more.

"I wonder if the largest industry of Rejing exists in this world, too? What a pity; if this was in my original world, I would really want to go meet those respectable life coaches and see what their real lives are like."

Wasn't the reason why Rejing was called that because of those admirable life coaches? {TLN: Rejing translates to hot capital.}

If their traces were gone, why even call it Rejing? They might as well call it Lengjing. {TLN: Lengjing translates to cold capital.}

In the end, just as he walked out of the airport, he saw a long line of taxis parked on both sides of the road… Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main thing was that when they saw the crowd swarming out from the airport exit, the taxi doors opened almost simultaneously, and every driver was either a young or mature women.

Not only that, those women all had something in common despite their age differences. Every one of them was beautiful.

Even their figures were something to be proud of, although their strong points differed.

Zhang Che was stunned. Something seemed amiss…

Before he could react to any of this, the taxi drivers rushed up to them. A mature, beautiful woman and a young pretty woman both ran up to Zhang Che at the same up, asking in English with smiles on their faces, "Mister, may I know where you're headed to? I'll be very happy to be of service to you."

Zhang Che felt a little dizzy from all this. He understood these simple English sentences, but he couldn't answer them. In the end, he asked in his unfamiliar Japanese, "Can you send me to the Rejing city area?"

Realizing Zhang Che understood Japanese, the two women's eyes shone even brighter. They immediately gave Zhang Che a positive answer. Afterwards, each of them hugged an arm and pulled him towards the row of taxis were.

-Since when are the Japanese so hospitable? Could their taxi rides be free, even?-

Zhang Che was a little dumbfounded. He turned his head to look around subconsciously. In the end, he realized the group of women rushing up earlier each had their own harvests. Some of the guests welcomed by them so passionately were as dumbfounded as Zhang Che, but a larger portion of them had smiles on their faces, seemingly used to this strange sight.

Well, this was treatment only available to men.

The women that came out from the airport were rarely approached. The female drivers were basically ignoring them.

Of course, the female travellers were similarly ignoring the female drivers. They continued walking a short distance and walked towards a row of buses further down.

Zhang Che was pulled to the row of taxis by the two women just like that. After a short discussion between the two, they quickly came to an agreement and pushed Zhang Che into the car forcibly. The younger of the two drove, while the mature woman sat in the back, beside Zhang Che.

"Mister, have you booked your hotel room? If not, we have better recommendations."

From the moment she got into the car, the mature woman's gaze towards Zhang Che became a little different, as if she was looking at a pile of cash. Her eyes were almost dazzling with golden light.

Did he book a hotel room?

That was impossible. Zhang Che's trip to Japan wasn't for vacation. Why would he reserve a hotel room? Perhaps he would even need to sleep outside, with the skies as his blanket and the earth as his bed.

"I'm sorry, I already reserved one."

Zhang Che more or less understood these female driver's side job. However, he wasn't interested at all, and rejected her decisively.

The mature woman wasn't dejected at all. Her eyes rolled around and continued, "Then do you need any special services? We don't charge high prices."

-Ugh, they're so direct?-

Zhang Che finally witnessed the "hospitality" of the Japanese women first-hand. However, he was still not interested, and shook his head firmly.

-Ai, you're not Aoi-sensei, Hatano-sensei, or Uehara-sensei…-

On that note, even if Aoi-sensei or the other life coaches were here sending Zhang Che such invitations, he wouldn't agree.

Admiring their work was one thing, but Zhang Che would never get into a relationship with people in such professions.

Well, the thing was, he was mysophobic. {TLN: FYI, people in that profession, both men and women, do check-ups regularly.}

The taxi suddenly slowed down and stopped at the roadside. The mature woman and the young woman got out of the car at the same time and swapped places.

Zhang Che was thoroughly speechless. Their professionalism was truly admirable!

As such, he could only put on a cold face and said evenly, "Please send me to Rejing's city district. I don't need any other services. Thank you."

"Ugh, alright, Mister."

Going forward, the two women became honest as could be. They sent Zhang Che to Rejing's city district and quickly drove off after receiving the fare for the ride, not reluctant to leave at all.

Well, from the time when their faces turned cold, Zhang Che could guess what they were thinking. They had failed to close a deal and felt that the trip was wasted, something like that.

He thought to himself, -If I really agreed to your suggestions, I would be the one losing big!-

Being on the streets of the unfamiliar Rejing, their unfamiliar language was being spoken all around him, giving Zhang Che a very peculiar feeling.

He didn't go to book a hotel room. Instead, he walked around the streets casually.

The time now was 1 PM; Zhang Che was starving. He needed to find a place to have a good meal.

Of course, given his appetite, it was impossible for him to enter a restaurant. That scene would be too frightening to the on-lookers.

The only feasible way was for him to look for a secluded corner and take out the prepared food from his spatial storage to eat. He wouldn't scare anyone that way.

-First I'll fill my stomach, then start looking for information on the Miyazaki Clan.- Thinking of that, Zhang Che made turn after turn and walked into a secluded alley.

Shortly after Zhang Che walked into the alley, seeing there was no one around, just as he was about to take out food to eat, he suddenly heard a frightened, helpless voice calling for help further in. "No! What are you people trying to do!?"

He immediately sighed in disappointment. -Why did I have to encounter this kind of bullshit?-

He was originally planning on ignoring the matter. It was the Japanese harming one of their own, anyway. It truly had nothing to do with him.

Regrettably, that woman's cry grew louder and louder, and had greatly affected Zhang Che's mood for eating, leaving him unable to do so.

Zhang Che shook his head helplessly. He quickly disguised himself into a random guy and walked further into the alley.

In the end, before he reached the inner area, the woman's sharp cries and the men's lustful laughter stopped at the same time. Afterwards, a few miserable screams were heard.

"Eh? Someone got to them first?" Zhang Che was displeased. He finally decided to play the hero to save the damsel in distress, but someone actually stole his role! How intolerable!

He ran towards the end of the alley. Just as he made another turn, his expression froze.

A few men were sprawled all over the ground, every one of them clutching their most important parts, crying out miserably. They had obviously suffered a heavy trauma.

In the middle of the alley, a woman in her twenties stood calmly, but her clothing was dishevelled. Next to her stood a black bear-like exotic beast, covered in strong muscles all over.

Zhang Che swept his data eyes across it. That bear was actually a three-star gold-quality subdued beast.

Zhang Che was baffled. -Since you have such a powerful subdued beast, why bother playing out the scene with those guys? Was your bad sense of humor acting up and you specially came to find trouble with these trash?-

Indeed, Zhang Che couldn't understand the thought process of the women from the island nation.

Since there was no trouble here, Zhang Che didn't intend on staying any longer. He shook his head slightly and turned around, ready to walk out. He had to find another secluded alley to have lunch.

"Hold it right there; who are you!" a cold voice demanded from behind him, accompanied by the assault of wind.

Zhang Che turned back, staring at the black bear subdued beast that had run up to him and the women who was now adjusting her clothing.

"I suspect that you're related to these human trash. Please come back with me to the police station for investigation," the woman said, looking coldly at Zhang Che. She fished out her identification and flashed it to him.

-Oh? She's actually a police officer!-

Zhang Che didn't bother with her, however. Instead, he looked towards the men on the ground who were still groaning and holding onto their male parts, feeling sorry for them.

-Tsk, tsk. You guys actually came across a female police officer entrapping criminals while seeking pleasure. How unlucky these dregs are.-

Seeing Zhang Che ignoring her, the female officer immediately roared out, "Put your hands behind your head and squat down!"

While making her demands, the black bear-like subdued beast closed in on Zhang Che. It seemed like it would take action to subdue him if he didn't listen to orders.

-Japanese women have nerves, indeed!- Zhang Che sighed inside, thinking that he had come across a crazy one today.

He wasn't going to give her face, however. A golden ray of light shot out from his brow, and the Rotten Ent Prowler whip appeared in his hand. Zhang Che immediately activated the Poison Drill skill, shooting the whip right into the subdued beast's body right under the policewoman's furious gaze.

The lethal poison on the whip's barbs immediately took effect. The subdued beast fell to the ground, crying in pain. She hurriedly recalled it back into her spiritual sea, saving it from dying on the spot.

Having lost her protector, the female officer's expression immediately sank. Seeing Zhang Che walking towards her with the long whip in hand, she cried out in a panic, "Don't come over! What do you want!?"

"What I want? You should know. Be good. I won't hurt you if you cooperate."

Zhang Che's dark sense of humor acted up, drawing his lips back slightly into an evil smile, closing in on the female officer step by step.

"Ah, I'll cooperate with you. Just don't hurt me!" the female officer revealed a pitiful look on her face. Afterwards, she started undoing her clothing which she had just finished adjusting in front of Zhang Che, taking them off piece by piece.

Zhang Che was stunned. -This level of cooperation is a little too much! Do you really think I'm that casual of a person?-

The men on the ground finally recovered a little. They looked at the female officer, who was now only in her undergarments, unwillingly. Then, they stole a glance at Zhang Che. They got back up on their feet stealthily, ready to run out of the alley.

"I hate scum who force themselves on women the most! So, you guys will have to stay here!" Zhang Che said thusly. The whip in his hand suddenly lashed out like a poisonous dragon whipping its tail. It lashed quickly, turning into streaks of blurry image in the air.

In the next moment, a few miserable screams rang out in succession. The poisonous whip drew a purplish bloody scar on each of the men. The poison robbed them of their mobility almost instantly. They fell weakly to the ground, a layer of purplish-black quickly spreading on their skin.

The poison on the Rotten Ent Prowler whip was something even mid-tier beasts had trouble with. These men were but commoners, how could they possibly withstand it? Naturally they would die.

Seeing Zhang Che's unchanged expression after killing the men with only a few swings of his arm, the female officer's complexion finally changed. "I beg you, please don't kill me! I'll do anything you ask!"

While pleading, she continued taking off the last piece of garment on her body. She had totally given in to her fate, only hoping Zhang Che would spare her life after he got what he wanted.

Not only that, in her abnormal state of mind, she even thought that it didn't seem so bad to let such a powerful man have his way with her.

-Mhm, I have to make sure he enjoys his time, or I might not even keep my life.-

Seeing the female officer taking off her last piece of clothing, revealing her snow white body, Zhang Che actually felt a little excited.

-This is too much of a temptation!-

Zhang Che suddenly moved, quickly flashing over to her side. His right hand chopped her on the back of her neck lightly, knocking her unconscious.

In the next moment, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly appeared beside him. Its Enchant skill was instantly activated.

Zhang Che tapped the unconscious woman, waking her up, and asked directly, "Do you know anything about the Miyazaki Clan?"

The policewoman's eyes were in a daze. She shook her head slightly and replied, "I only know some rough information on them. The specifics are unclear."

Zhang Che sighed. -As expected. How can these petty officers know much about the Miyazaki Cla n?-

Just as he was about to knock her unconscious again, she actually continued, "But, I can connect to my job's network through my personal terminal to check on the information on the Miyazaki Clan members. That information isn't confidential on the police agency's intranet."

Zhang Che's eyes twinkled. He didn't expect such a harvest!

His sole purpose on this trip was to find trouble with the Miyazaki Clan. He wasn't interested in their secrets at all. It was enough to know the basic information on their clan members!

"Alright, then open up your personal terminal right now and send the Miyazaki Clan members' information to me!"

The officer was in a dazed state as she opened up her personal terminal like a robot, connecting to her office's set-up and retrieved the Miyazaki Clan members' information from the intranet. Afterwards, she sent them to Zhang Che's personal terminal, and under his orders, removed all traces of her activity.

Zhang Che looked at the female officer's enticing figure. He forcibly endured his urge to get his way with her one time and ordered her to put on her clothes, then knocked her unconscious once more.

In order to prevent any unwanted accidents, Zhang Che stood guard in the alley for over a quarter of an hour, until the duration of the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly's skill was over, before leaving.

Although the hunger was getting really tough to endure, Zhang Che showed a happy smile on his face. He didn't expect his failed attempt to save the damsel in distress to yield such a great reward.

-Mmm, I'll go find another place and fill up my stomach first, then I'll go find trouble with the Miyazaki Clan.-

In the end, Zhang Che didn't kill off the policewoman. In any case, that part of her memory would be automatically wiped away when she regained consciousness. He wasn't worried about her suspecting anything.

Shortly after Zhang Che left the alley, the policewoman woke up.

She opened her eyes in a hazy state. First, she saw that her clothing was intact, and sighed in relief. Afterwards, she suddenly remembered something and looked around. When she saw those corpses, now purplish-black in color, she immediately cried out in shock. She quickly opened her personal terminal and contacted her colleagues from the police station.

Her actions showed that her mental fortitude was pretty good. If she were any ordinary woman, they would surely scream out sharply, then scramble out of the alley as fast as they could.

However, as someone who dared to use herself as bait for entrapment, this female officer's spirit was certainly at a passable level. As such, the first thing she thought of was to immediately contact the police station, and she didn't panic on the spot.

After reporting the situation to her superior, the female officer walked out of the alley with quick steps, feeling frustrated, as if she had missed something…

For some unknown reason, she felt a sense of loss somewhere deep in her heart.

If Zhang Che knew of the policewoman's thoughts, heavens knew if he would have regretted it.

Well, to say he wouldn't regret was definitely a lie…

——

At present, Zhang Che had walked into another deserted alley, sighing. He took out a mountain of food from his spatial equipment and leaned against the wall, eating with big bites as he opened up his personal terminal to have a closer look at the Miyazaki Clan members' information he had just received from the policewoman.

Although the information wasn't detailed, with no information on the Miyazaki Clan's high-tier beastmasters, the information on their younger members, as well as the executive members in charge of the clan's affairs, was rather comprehensive.

That was enough.

Zhang Che wasn't planning on uprooting the Miyazaki Clan anyway, nor did he have the capability.

How could Zhang Che, a measly mid-tier beastmaster, bring to ruin an organization that large?

Even if Zhang Che's Umbra Wind God Leopard was to immediately mature into adulthood, it might not be enough to thoroughly destroy the Miyazaki Clan. At the most, he would only cause severe damage to them.

How deep the foundations of one of the top clans in Japan ran was something unimaginable to ordinary people. They wouldn't fall that easily.

As such, Zhang Che's target had been the younger generation of the Miyazaki Clan from the start.

If he could kill some of the top elites from the younger generation of Miyazaki Clan, naturally they would feel the pain.

While looking through the information on his personal terminal, Zhang Che forcibly memorized what he saw, saving himself the trouble of having to look through his personal terminal all the time when needed. That would be too troublesome.

Thanks to the existence of the golden vortex in his spiritual sea, Zhang Che realized his memory was improving by the day. After looking through the information once, he could remember about seventy to eighty percent of it. In the past, this was something unthinkable.

——

A little more than half an hour later, Zhang Che finally ate and drank his fill. At the same time, he was done looking through the Miyazaki Clan members' information.

He stood up from the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly. Afterwards, he made a turn from the alley and came to a tree, climbing up easily.

When Zhang Che appeared in the alley once more, his appearance had changed into a white-skinned blond caucasian male, with a tall nose and green eyes. He had changed his outfit as well, now in a completely different style, sporting a different suit.

With that, no one would be able to link Zhang Che and this caucasian together.

Also, the reason why Zhang Che chose to disguise as a caucasian was to deliberately lead the Miyazaki Clan's investigation efforts astray, unable to trace the matter back to him.

Of course, he definitely needed more follow-up methods to thoroughly lead the Miyazaki Clan's investigations astray, but that wasn't the priority now.

In order to prevent the Miyazaki Clan from going to find trouble with him in Hua Xia, Zhang Che couldn't wait to hunt down their descendants!

"The show starts now!"

—–

It was lunch break now. At the new Rejing's northern sector, on the campus of the National Beastmaster Institution, a university that focused on nurturing elite beastmasters, the young students could be seen resting, or taking walks under the shade of the trees.

Miyazaki Yuuichi was currently walking with a delicate, good-looking woman by the lawns, showing a gentlemanly faint smile.

She was Miyazaki Yuuichi's second target since his enrollment into the National Beastmaster Institution. She hailed from a small clan, her background and whatnot had been thoroughly investigated by him. There wouldn't be any negative consequences for him even if he got bored with her and threw her aside.

As a direct descendant of the Miyazaki Clan, although Yuuichi was only nineteen years old, he was already a strong mid-tier beastmaster at Tier Four. His future seemed incomparably bright.

Of course, it was also due to his enormous background that he faced fierce competition from those in the same generation. Due to his limited talent, Miyazaki Yuuichi didn't receive much attention from the clan. Although this didn't make him abandon himself to despair, he developed many bad habits. For example, toying with women was one of his favorite hobbies.

Although he was only nineteen years old, Miyazaki Yuuichi had toyed with countless women. A couple of years ago, he was crazily obsessed with married women. As of now, he had gotten sick of them and his taste had switched over to innocent students.

The girl walking at his side had no idea that she had already become Miyazaki Yuuichi's next target to toy with. She was foolishly thinking that she finally had a chance to marry into a rich family, and her clan could rise up from then on.

The two were strolling through the lawns, coming in and out of the shade provided by the trees, chatting and laughing. Unbeknownst to them, on a roof about a thousand meters away, a pair of eyes was slightly narrowed, looking at Miyazaki Yuuichi through a pair of binoculars.

"Today is indeed my lucky day. I had originally planned to look for a chance to sneak into the campus, but this guy is surprisingly cooperative, appearing in my sight on his own initiative."

The disguised caucasian male Zhang Che lowered the binoculars, smiling. Afterwards, a traditional-style large recurve bow appeared in his hand, along with a custom-made alloy arrow.

"It's over a kilometer away… With no sight installed, who knows if I can hit him accurately…" Zhang Che mumbled to himself. He nocked the arrow, slowly drawing the bowstring and narrowed his eyes, aiming at a silhouette the size of a black dot in the distance.

At this moment, the golden vortex in his spiritual sea suddenly emitted a wave of invisible energy, flowing into Zhang Che's eyes.

To his surprise, he discovered that as he focused his attention, Miyazaki Yuuichi's figure a kilometer away quickly became clearer, as if a pair of invisible binoculars were fitted in front of his eyes.

"I didn't expect the golden vortex to have such an ability! Looks like I have to spend more time studying this peculiar thing. Perhaps it will bring me even more surprises!"

The corners of Zhang Che's lips drew back slightly in a faint smile. He held his breath, aiming at his target, and let loose his fingers. Like a bolt of lightning, the arrow sang from the bowstring and shot towards its target.

Chapter 336: Killing Three People in One Day

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"Tamiko, are you free tonight?" Miyazaki Yuuichi asked softly with a smile, staring into the girl's eyes.

After dating her for some time, he felt that the time was now ripe. Tonight, he should be able to reap this beautiful flower.

Tamiko's beautiful face directly blushed red, thinking to herself, -Ah, why is Yuuichi-kun so direct? Should I say yes or no…-

Tamiko was looking down, hiding her embarrassment when she suddenly heard a soft sound next to her. Afterwards, a few drops of lukewarm fluid spattered on her face.

Immediately after, she heard a loud thump. It sounded like something heavy fell on the ground.

She raised her head slightly, and instantly an extremely terrified look crossed her face. She screamed out in shock in a high decibel voice.

Miyazaki Yuuichi, who had just made his "excessive" request to her, had fallen to the ground. A long arrow made of alloy metal had shot through his head, right between his brows.

Miyazaki Yuuichi's face was still showing an anticipatory smile. His wide eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

It was like he couldn't accept the cruel reality at the moment of his death.

Following Tamiko's sharp screech, the whole school broke into a commotion.

At the same time, a few figures suddenly came from different corners of the school, as swift as the wind and lightning, running in the direction the arrow was shot from.

—

On the roof a thousand meters away, Zhang Che quickly put away the Fallen Star bow right after he released the arrow. Afterwards, he jumped to the side, onto the adjacent roof. A long whip suddenly appeared in his hand, coiled onto the branch of a tree by the street, and he swung over like Spider-man.

By the time those silhouettes came chasing from the campus and arrived at the rooftop, there was no sign of Zhang Che. They only managed to catch a glimpse of his figure – it was a tall caucasian male, his blond hair was especially eye-catching.

The leader of the group was a well-built middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Seeing the complicated residential district in front of them, he could only scatter the team and hope to catch up to the assassin. "Spread out and give chase!"

Of course, they were very clear in their hearts that it was almost impossible to catch him in such an environment.

However, the victim was a descendant of the Miyazaki Clan, after all. If the institution didn't do a thing, they would be hard-pressed to explain themselves.

"Yes sir!" his followers acknowledged respectfully, then scattered out towards the alleys in the residential area, searching thoroughly.

The well-built leader looked ahead with his eyes narrowed. In the next moment, he decided on a direction and quickly sped off.

After he turned a few corners, a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly appeared ahead of him, walking in his direction. Sensing the middle-aged man's terrifying aura around him, the teenager fell to the ground, sitting on his butt. His face went pale from fright, on the verge of tears.

The man only glanced over this boy before he continued running forward with long strides.

The boy on the ground let out a long sigh of relief. He quickly crawled up to his feet clumsily, running out of the alley in the opposite direction.

However, in the next moment, a rush of wind blew back. That middle-aged man actually came running back, stopping the boy.

"Did you see a tall blond caucasian man?" the man asked with a low voice, staring at the boy.

The boy's eyes were filled with fear. He opened his mouth, unable to say a word, only managing to shake his head, his body trembling.

Whoosh! Another rush of wind blew. The middle-aged man disappeared from the boy's sight again in an instant.

—

The boy's face was ghostly pale, staggering out of the alley.

"How freaking close! Luckily I can transform my body at will, or I might not be able to get away if that man caught up to me."

This boy was naturally the assassin who had completed his mission, Zhang Che!

He totally didn't expect such a powerful figure to be hiding in Rejing's National Beastmaster Institution. That arrow of his had instantly alerted that man just as Zhang Che released it, and that man immediately gave chase.

Although he didn't know exactly how strong that man was, judging from that robust aura he was emitting, Zhang Che surmised that the man was at least a Tier Seven beastmaster. His physique was tempered in every way with soul force, far exceeding that of any ordinary man.

How could such a man be lacking powerful subdued beasts?

If Zhang Che didn't have the Myriad Transformation Lizard card, granting him the ability to disguise himself as he wished, it would have been an extremely difficult task to escape from the pursuit of that expert.

-Indeed, I can't underestimate the experts in the world just because of my fortuitous encounters!- , Zhang Che lamented as he walked out the alley with quick steps.

It seemed like he had to be much more cautious in his next operation. He couldn't afford to be careless at all.

He was in a foreign land, after all. No one would be there to help him if anything happened. If he really found himself in a difficult situation, it would be way too difficult to escape!

——

Soon, the Miyazaki Clan received news of Miyazaki Yuuichi being assassinated on the campus grounds.

This was the first time a member of the Miyazaki Clan was assassinated on their home turf. It could be well imagined how furious they were.

The Miyazaki Clan mobilized their forces right away, investigating that assassin with all their might.

Soon, a first-hand information report was submitted to the Miyazaki Clan's executives.

Not only that, they even obtained the surveillance feed of a satellite in outer space, fully exposing the assassin's body build and facial features.

However, everything came to an end there.

It was as if that caucasian man had appeared from thin air. There wasn't any information on the man in any of Rejing's border records. It was like he just popped up in Rejing out of nowhere.

Also, after that man completed his assassination, he quickly escape into the dense residential area nearby. Due to the obstruction of the houses and trees, the surveillance satellite was unable to determine his eventual whereabouts. It was like he just disappeared from the world.

Miyazaki Takehara smashed a porcelain teacup on the ground furiously. He gave an order with a darkened expression, "Go investigate this matter thoroughly! Even if Rejing has to be turned upside down, you have to find that guy who dared to challenge our Miyazaki Clan!"

——

The assassination of a Miyazaki Clan's descendant had stirred all of Rejing.

However, there was no progress on the investigation of that Caucasian. During the next twelve hours, more grievous news arrived. Two more Miyazaki Clan members were assassinated!

Although those two members weren't from the younger generation, each of them were middle level members in charge of certain affairs. Their cause of death was exactly the same as Miyazaki Yuuichi: shot through the head with an alloy arrow from a kilometer away!

Not only that, the ones who sniped them were a black man and a bald, well-built Caucasian man.

It was obvious that this was a premeditated conspiracy from some overseas faction to assassinate the Miyazaki Clan members.

The Miyazaki Clan was thoroughly enraged!

They had never suffered such provocation before. Having three important clan members assassinated in a day, not to mention it being done within their sphere of influence! How could they possibly endure this?

Thereafter, the Miyazaki Clan mobilized all their forces, conducting a thorough search, leaving almost no stone untouched. They searched through the streets and alleys of Japan, as well as the hotels and inns.

Not only that, the Miyazaki Clan's search this time not only had their attention on the unfamiliar white and black people, they also investigated any people with questionable origins.

Zhang Che knew that it was impossible for him to continue taking action.

If he insisted on doing so, he might run into the experts of the Miyazaki Clan. At that time, he might not even have the time to switch identities, and could only surrender obediently.

Chapter 337: If Doing Things in the Open Doesn't Work, Then Do Things in the Dark

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Actually, after assassinating the last target, Zhang Che was nearly caught by the Miyazaki Clan's experts.

If he hadn't transformed into a child at the crucial moment and walked out of an alley with an innocuous smile, it would have been a one-way trip for him.

"As expected of a first-rate large clan of Japan. Such reaction speed is really something! Looks like continuing the operation will be too risky."

That night, Zhang Che hid in a forest outside of Rejing, his face filled with regret.

He had only managed to kill three of them. Although this would draw the Miyazaki Clan's attention, it was still a little lacking for them to abandon their hunt for him.

-Mmm, for mom's and my safety, I have to continue causing trouble!

-Cause trouble! More trouble!

-I can't not cause trouble. Otherwise, will I have to keep living in fear?

-That won't do. I have to think of a win-win solution!-

The sky gradually turned even darker. Zhang Che hid in the forest, on top of a tree with thick branches. He laid out his sleeping bag and went to rest.

He still had to continue his operation tomorrow. He had to make sure he had enough rest.

——

That night, an undercurrent was stirring in Rejing. The Miyazaki Clan captured many suspicious foreigners, but after their careful investigations and interrogations, they discovered none of them were involved in the assassination during the day.

Those three assassins seemed to have truly appeared out of nowhere, then vanished into thin air, not leaving any traces.

The Miyazaki Clan were helpless. They could only reinforce their protection of their descendants and important members in the dark. While ensuring their safety, they were also hoping to nab the assassins if they dared to make another move.

However, the next day was a peaceful one. Nothing happened at all.

To be more accurate, nothing happened on Japanese soil.

As per his discussion with Miyazaki Takehara, Miyazaki Musashi would set off for Hua Xia in two days. If this first-rate expert of the Miyazaki Clan were to take action, he would surely cut down the Chinese brat who had challenged their Miyazaki Clan's authority.

However, that night, the Miyazaki Clan received a piece of news from the Bei Mei region that shocked all the top brass of the clan, thoroughly disrupting Takehara and Musashi's original plan.

——

That day, after surveying a few locations, Zhang Che had no choice but to abandon the operation.

Every time he got close to areas where the Miyazaki Clan's descendants or important members were, he would sense several extremely powerful auras hidden in the dark through the golden vortex. Although he was pretty confident in escaping safely after completing the assassination, he didn't dare take the risk in the end.

Of course it'd be great if he could kill a few more Miyazaki Clan members, but there was no need to put himself in danger.

Zhang Che was someone who cherished his life very much. He didn't wish to dance on the edge of a blade.

As such, he endured it for now. At the same time, he started thinking, to see if there were any other ways to throw the Miyazaki Clan into disorder.

After all, killing only three of their members wasn't enough to shift their attention.

For the sake of his and his close ones' safety, Zhang Che couldn't afford to go easy at all!

—

That morning, a few members of the Miyazaki Clan crossed the spatial gateway to the northwest of Rejing under the secret protection of some experts, to go train themselves.

They didn't notice that a pair of eyes were following them until they stepped through the spatial gateway.

At noon, Zhang Che returned to Rejing airport and took a sky shuttle flight to Bei Mei region's San Diego.

After over ten hours of flight, the sky shuttle finally landed safely at the San Diego city airport.

Now, the local time was about 5 AM. The sky was just starting to turn brighter.

Returning to this place, Zhang Che immediately thought of Angelina, Jenny, and Monica, the three passionate Caucasian sisters who had been a little overwhelming.

Thinking of how he almost had a four-way that night, Zhang Che couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He had no intention of contacting them at all.

After exiting the airport, he didn't go to the San Diego city area. Instead, he Summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and directly headed in the direction of that pharmaceutical company's secret base.

-Hmm, I wonder if they abandoned that base after my ambush last time?-

"Probably not, right? The base cost them a lot of resources, after all, be it financial or physical. How could they possibly abandon it so easily? At the most they'll reinforce security and send more people to guard the base."

As he thought that, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon didn't fly for long before they arrived in the skies above the mountain range where the base was.

Looking from above, the large processing plant on the surface remained, and many security installations were built in the surroundings. It seemed like they were indeed still using the base.

-Hmph, did you think you can guard against me with just that?-

Zhang Che smiled faintly. He went somewhere else to land, then recalled the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and instead summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise with a wave of his hand.

"No matter how solid your security on the surface is, what can you do if I enter through the underground?"

The Purple Crystal Tortoise quickly dug a tunnel, while Zhang Che followed behind it, slowly approaching the underground base.

—-

A little less than half an hour later, the Purple Crystal Tortoise had dug its way directly under the base. Afterwards, the human and beast pair looked up at the thick layer of steel above their heads. Zhang Che chuckled softly, "Hehehehe, do you think I won't be able to do anything if you have a steel floor?"

Zhang Che smiled. A five-colored ray of light shot out from between his brows. The Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword was in his hand, and the Purple Crystal Tortoise activated its Purple Crystal Armor skill, turning into a tough layer of tortoise shell armor around Zhang Che.

"Haa!" Zhang Che swung the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword with a shout. With a loud noise, a large hole appeared on the two-meter-thick steel floor.

Security alarms promptly rang throughout the entire base.

Zhang Che was like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, jumping up through the large opening he had created on the steel floor. Afterwards, he swung his sword to his side and started running towards the central control room, slaughtering his way to his destination.

—

Ten minutes later, Zhang Che successfully took control of the base's control center, and stole all information regarding the pharmaceutical company's experimental evolution fluid, which harnessed the genes of exotic beasts.

A bunch of experts finally gathered from all over the base. Among them were a few high-tier beastmasters, and there was even a high-tier epic-quality subdued beast within their ranks, which instantly turned the situation around, thoroughly suppressing Zhang Che. He was beaten so badly he had no way to retaliate at all.

In the end, Zhang Che's tortoise shell armor failed to withstand the epic-quality subdued beast's skill. It turned into a ball of light and flew back into his brow, revealing his "true" appearance.

"Baka!" Zhang Che seemed furious with his armor broken, cursing out loud. He turned his head around and swept his cold gaze across the bunch of pursuing soldiers, before jumping into the hole the Purple Crystal Tortoise had dug earlier, disappearing from their sight.

By the time those hidden experts arrived at the steel floor opening, they discovered the hole was already sealed with large rocks, and they were unable to continue their chase.

"Go look through the surveillance and find out which Japanese faction that damn yellow monkey is from!" The man in charge of the base ordered, gritting his teeth with a dark expression, so hard he nearly broke them.

Although the research information on the exotic beast genetic evolution fluid had been saved at their headquarters, it couldn't be leaked outside, or they would be met with huge troubles, especially since this matter involved the forbidden act of conducting human experimentation.

Soon, a photo of Zhang Che's revealed "true" appearance was retrieved from the surveillance center, and his identity was quickly found out through a special network.

"Miyazaki Masaki… the Japanese actually dare to be this audacious!" A cold glint shone in the base commander's eyes. He immediately reported this to his superiors.

Afterwards, a large underground faction quickly made their moves, carrying out a destructive attack against all areas in San Diego that belonged to the Miyazaki Clan.

Chapter 338: Fight Between Two Fierce Beasts. Time to Withdraw in Victory

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Late at night, in Japan…

When Miyazaki Takehara heard the news from Bei Mei region, he directly jumped out of his bed.

"Damn it, what exactly is going on here!?"

Within the short duration of an hour, the powers of the Miyazaki Clan at a few important cities at the west coast of Bei Mei region were attacked by a powerful faction at the same time, incurring heavy casualties.

As for the assets and whatnot, the Miyazaki Clan actually didn't really care much about them.

What's most important was that they were slapped in the face, hard!

Miyazaki Takehara couldn't care less that it was now late into the night. He hurriedly put on his clothing and rushed to the clan's headquarters. At the same time, he informed all the top executives of the clan to come to the headquarters conference room for a meeting.

Soon, through contact with the fortunate survivors at the Bei Mei site, the Miyazaki Clan's top brass finally understood what had happened.

"What? They're saying Masaki stole their company's important information and is demanding for us to return it, or they'll never let the matter rest?"

This was a blatant set up!

Didn't Masaki go into the beast world with a few juniors for training? How could he possibly appear in Bei Mei region, not to mention stealing their bullshit important information?

The Miyazaki Clan's top executives then remembered the three assassinations on their members yesterday. The assassins were all of western descent. So, the situation was clear as day; it must be that some powerful faction in Bei Mei region had set their eyes on their clan, and wanted to…

When their discussions reached this point, all their faces suddenly changed at the same time.

Could it be that news of their clan conducting research on exotic beast genetic reinforcement fluid in secret had been leaked, and the West was eyeing it?

The expressions of the Miyazaki Clan's top executives became unusually grave.

Miyazaki Takehara's face sank. He said unflinchingly, "Everyone, this is war! I hope to see everyone working together as one to help our Miyazaki Clan get through this crisis. I'm counting on you!"

Done speaking, he suddenly bent his waist ninety degrees, bowing deeply to those present.

"Hai! Please rest assured, Clan Patriarch, we swear to live and die with the clan!"

Everyone stood up one after another, bowing in Miyazaki Takehara's direction.

No one had any idea that a certain someone's petty maneuver would be the cause of the two super factions engaging in a long-lasting great battle that would shock the world.

After the curtains closed on that war, the two factions were greatly weakened, and were reduced to third-rate factions, thoroughly withdrawing from the stage of the largest factions in Mercury.

Not only that, in that great war, the truth of both parties engaging in human experimentation to produce exotic beast evolution medicine was exposed to the world. This immediately led to them becoming the butt of public criticism. In the end, they were left with no choice but to issue a public apology to the world, and those in charge were severely punished.

Even after the matter had calmed, no one realized how strange the cause of the great battle was.

Perhaps by the time both parties realized something was not right about all this, they were already too deeply committed to the fight. Who would care about the strangeness of the initial cause of the incident?

Even Zhang Che, the cause behind all this, didn't expect the matter to develop to such a state.

—–

After he escaped from the base, he hid in San Diego, carefully watching over how this matter played out.

-Hmm, I've already ignited the fuse for you guys. I hope both parties will perform a good show for me. At the very least, the Miyazaki Clan shouldn't continue to hound me, right?,- Zhang Che thought to himself while paying attention to the development of this matter in the dark.

Afterwards, he even went to observe some of the Miyazaki Clan's powers in San Diego in secret. The results shocked him, and left him feeling gratified.

Zhang Che's guess was on the spot. The Miyazaki Clan's assets in San Diego were soon assaulted in revenge by the faction behind that pharmaceutical company. The two parties directly broke out in an intense battle in the city, as well as in the suburbs.

As such, Zhang Che was thoroughly assured. With this, the Miyazaki Clan surely wouldn't send people to Hua Xia to find trouble with him any more.

Well, for a pretty long time, at least. The Miyazaki Clan shouldn't have the time to care about anything else.

Unbeknownst to him, not only would the Miyazaki Clan not have the energy to care about that little matter of his for a period of time, no one would ever mention that matter in the future.

After all, compared to the survival of the clan, what did a mere Chinese brat who challenged their clan's dignity count for?

Moreover, after the great battle with that mysterious faction in the Bei Mei region, the Miyazaki Clan directly fell from a top-rate faction in Japan to a second-rate faction. After that, they would consider themselves lucky if their enemies didn't come looking for them. Why would they care about other matters?

——

Zhang Che stayed in San Diego for another day. When he saw that both parties had really committed to the fight, confirming that the Miyazaki Clan wouldn't go find trouble with him in Hua Xia anymore, he rang up his mother and Huang Tielan, telling them that he had some matters going on and had to be in the beast world for some time, and that they didn't have to worry about him.

That night, he booked a room in San Diego's best hotel and slept comfortably for a night. He dreamt of the Miyazaki Clan's patriarch, Miyazaki Takehara, kneeling before him, pleading Zhang Che to let his clan off, and expressing that they were willing to offer the prettiest woman in their clan to him, only hoping he would let the matter rest.

In his dream, Zhang Che rejected their tempting offer justly, then whipped out the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword and smashed Miyazaki Takehara with the flat of the sword, directly flattening him into a meat patty.

What came after was a little blurry. Zhang Che couldn't remember what happened when he woke up. He only had vague recollections that he seemed to be surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women in the end.

-Hmm? Why are Aoi-sensei, Ozawa-sensei, Hatano-sensei, and Uehara-sensei among the group of girls from Miyazaki Clan?

-How strange!-

Shaking his head, Zhang Che got up from bed. He went to take a bath and change out his clothing, and walked out refreshed. After a simple breakfast at the restaurant, he checked out from his room.

He no longer paid attention to the conflict between the Miyazaki Clan and the faction behind the pharmaceutical company. In any case, the two parties wouldn't come to a truce in the near future. He could totally rest assured and go take care of his own matters.

Walking out of the hotel lobby, Zhang Che flagged down a taxi and went to the suburb of San Diego. Afterwards, he Summoned out the Purple Jade Condor and mounted it, flying to the spatial gateway he had emerged from last time.

Zhang Che could not summon the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. After all, that fellow was seen by those from the secret base when he stole the Unicorn. The dragon couldn't appear in the Bei Mei region.

As for when he returned to Hua Xia in the future, Zhang Che couldn't care less.

When he wasn't in the beast world, he had no need to summon the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon anyway. The chances of people taking notice of it was very slim.

Moreover, when he entered the beast world, if he wasn't with others, Zhang Che would subconsciously change his appearance. It wouldn't matter too much, even if others took notice.

He'd just let them go find someone called Sun Che. He had no relation to that fellow, anyway.

Hehe!…

Chapter 339: Fisherman Halo Activated

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

The reason why Zhang Che came to the beast world and did not return to Hua Xia was because of that terrifying stone giant from before.

He estimated that with his current strength, he should be strong enough to challenge it head-on. After all, it was only a mid-tier epic-quality beast!

The combat strength Zhang Che possessed now was completely different from what it was when he first saw it.

Although there was only the addition of the Scarlet Flame Drake and the Mutated Giant Ape to his main force, Zhang Che had a powerful scarlet sword at his disposal, too!

Moreover, in the past, Zhang Che's beasts had to return to his spiritual sea to recover once they were injured. They wouldn't be back to their peak condition for ten minutes or so.

When battling against powerful beasts at the level of epic-quality, ten minutes was more than enough for Zhang Che to die many times over. But now, he had the Unicorn!

This meant that as long as his babies weren't directly beaten to death by that stone giant, the Unicorn could restore them to their full fighting strength in an extremely short amount of time. His combat potential wouldn't suffer much decline, if any!

In such a situation, it was akin to Zhang Che having an endless army of legend-quality beasts, taking turns to beat down the stone giant. There was no worry that he couldn't grind it to death.

Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Che was confident his babies wouldn't be killed instantly. Otherwise, if his babies started dying the moment the fight began, what did it matter, even if he did have the Unicorn?

"Even if I can't win, that stone man shouldn't be able to make me stay!" Zhang Che's eyes were filled with confidence.

The stone man wasn't able to keep him there during their first encounter. Now that he had become much stronger in every sense, how could he possibly be still afraid of a lump of rock?

The main problem right now was that he could only hope no powerful beastmasters had discovered that giant stone man, or Zhang Che could forget about all this.

Which one of those high-tier beastmasters who could roam as they pleased in the depths of the beast world didn't have a few powerful subdued beasts of their own? Although it would certainly be troublesome to deal with exotic beasts at the giant stone man's level, it definitely wouldn't be very problematic.

Due to the beast world being at the edge of San Diego, there was high traffic in the areas around the safety zone.

Zhang Che did not dare to summon the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon there. He still cherished his life very much.

He could well imagine how terrifying the powers behind the pharmaceutical company were, seeing how they could construct such an enormous base to research an evolutionary fluid using the genes of exotic beast, and were not caught for so many years. They were definitely a power no weaker than the Miyazaki Clan!

He was all alone in the Bei Mei region. If he got careless and drew the eyes of others, it wouldn't be easy for him to escape. Perhaps he might not even have the time to disguise himself!

After leaving the safety zone, Zhang Che immediately summoned the Purple Jade Condor, flying in the direction he had returned from the last time.

The area the terrifying giant stone man was at was about ten thousand kilometers away. He needed at least a week's time to safely arrive at that area; he had to hurry.

He didn't want to stay in the beast world for a month or two.

Although the Purple Jade Condor wasn't as fast as the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, it could reach two hundred meters per second if it flew at its fastest. It could be considered extremely fast.

Before he realized it, the number of beastmasters on the ground below him had dwindled away. By the time he was a few hundred kilometers away from the safety zone, human traces could hardly be seen below.

After all, although San Diego had a pretty high population, and they had a high number of beastmasters, there was more than one spatial gateway around the city. After splitting the population up, naturally there wouldn't be too many people to be seen.

—

The environment ahead became increasingly complicated. It was an endless mountainous region, with dense forests and wild growth.

Zhang Che suddenly felt moved.

Since he came to the depths of the beast world, why not try looking for some spiritual herbs?

After all, his father-in-law had connections to the relevant research institutions. No matter how peculiar the herbs he found were, it didn't matter even if he had no knowledge of them.

Moreover, this wasn't Hua Xia; why leave the good stuff for the foreigners?

Zhang Che immediately changed his mind. It didn't matter even if he stayed here for some time. The Miyazaki Clan wouldn't have the time or attention to spend on him. Why not use this opportunity to search through this beast world properly?

Thus, he had the Purple Jade Condor quickly descend to the core of the mountain range ahead, and summoned the frisky monkey.

"Zhizhi, zhizhi!" the frisky monkey cried out excitedly the moment he was out.

Speaking of which, that fellow had spent quite a long time in his spiritual sea. He had truly been deprived of freedom badly. Now that he could take a breather outside, how could he possibly not be cheering happily?

"What are you crying for? You'll have plenty of time out here," Zhang Che slapped the monkey's head lightly with his palm, smiling. Then, he commanded, "Come, do daddy a favor. See if there's any spiritual herbs nearby."

Zhang Che felt that he had to fully make good use of the frisky monkey's abilities in the upcoming days. He mustn't let the monkey keep staying in his spiritual sea, wasting his talents.

A pity that this fellow's skill could only search within a five kilometer radius. If the radius was tens of times wider, wouldn't it be awesome?

The frisky monkey immediately drooped his head. His master daddy summoned him only to enslave him!

-This can't do; I have to go tell on him at the animal rights association, saying that he is abusing animals!-

Alas, he could not disobey his master daddy's orders, or he might not get to eat the aromatic roasted meat in the future. The frisky monkey could only activate his searching ability resentfully; waves of invisible energy spread outwards in all directions.

After about a minute or so, he started jumping on the spot and pointed deeper into the mountain range, crying out.

"Hmm, not bad! We really found something. Looks like my luck today is not bad!"

Zhang Che was overjoyed. He was only prompted by his sudden impulse originally, and wanted to have the frisky monkey give it a try. Unexpectedly, they really discovered the existence of spiritual herbs nearby!

Then, what were they waiting for? Time to move!

The master and pet jumped on the Purple Jade Condor's wide back, quickly flying deeper into the mountain range.

A five thousand meter radius truly wasn't big; given the Purple Jade Condor's speed, they flew to their destination in only half a minute or so.

It was an unusually tall and straight mountain. The waist of the mountain was the divider of its body. Any lower than that was covered in vegetation, while any higher was gradually reduced to only a sparse layer of wild grass and algae. At the peak, there was only a thick layer of snow.

Even so, just as they flew to the skies above the mountain, Zhang Che's face suddenly changed slightly.

He saw, on the mountain ridge on the other side of the mountain, a team of beastmasters were engaged in an intense battle with a snake with an icy blue body.

Behind that snake, a single flawlessly white spiritual flower that resembled a snow lotus, nearly half a meter in diameter, was blooming on the snowy ground.

Obviously, the spiritual flower was taken.

And right now, the original owner of the spiritual flower, the icy blue snake, was fighting an intense battle with the group of people eyeing it!

"Hmm? Is my Fisherman Zhang Halo finally coming into effect again!?"

Chapter 340: Killing with Every Step Taken, Leaving No Trail a Hundred Meters Away

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

When he saw the group of beastmasters fighting the icy blue snake on the mountain top below him, Zhang Che couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

Indeed, he was only suitable for travelling alone, and not in a group.

When he went hunting the Wind God Leopard previously, wasn't it because he was with Luo Wenjun's group that his Fisherman Zhang Halo didn't fully activate? That group of beastmasters actually gave up halfway, retreating from the mountain range before they even saw the Wind God Leopard's personally.

Now that he had come to Bei Mei by himself, with no one holding him back, the situation was completely different, as expected!

At almost the same time when Zhang Che arrived in the skies above that mountain, the snake and the group of beastmasters noticed the Purple Jade Condor's arrival.

However, due to the Purple Jade Condor's enormous wingspan, the passengers on its back were easily neglected. It was impossible for the two parties below to discover him.

"Go, fly further away. Don't let them get the wrong idea," Zhang Che commanded the Purple Jade Condor to keep flying, wearing a mischievous smile on his face. He'd just pretend they flew pass this mountain by accident.

Indeed, seeing the Purple Jade Condor had no intention of stopping, the battle below was reignited.

"Haha, keep fighting. It's best that you fight yourselves silly! I can then come and reap the rewards!"

Zhang Che was smiling so wide he couldn't keep his lips together. He felt that every time he stepped on Bei Mei's soil, he'd been extremely lucky.

It didn't have to be said the first time he was sent here. Almost all of Zhang Che's high-end combat forces were obtained in this beast world, and he even obtained a healing-type beast, the Unicorn, afterwards, allowing him to successfully cure his mother's illness, not to mention greatly improving his fighting babies' sustainability in fights.

This time, it was even more amazing.

Not only did he kickstart the conflict between the pharmaceutical company and the Miyazaki Clan, he had even obtained the results of their research on the evolutionary fluid utilizing the genes of exotic beasts. It didn't matter if he needed it, it was worth a huge fortune.

Now, soon after he entered the beast world, he had discovered a spiritual herb that seemed to be of extremely high grade. It truly left him dizzy from happiness.

What made him the happiest was that although the spiritual herb was guarded by a powerful exotic beast, Zhang Che didn't have to go fight it himself. He only needed to wait for both sides to be gravely injured and he could go pick up the scraps.

The Purple Jade Condor landed on a hill a few hundred meters away from the battle. Zhang Che narrowed his eyes, looking at the ongoing fight intently, ready to make his move at any moment.

Although he didn't manage to see the snake's attributes earlier, Zhang Che estimated that it shouldn't be too weak, or he would just be watching as the group of beastmasters slew it.

Also, this was quite a bit of soul force to be earned. Zhang Che wanted to rise to Tier Six as soon as possible. Why would he let go of this opportunity?

As the battle between the group of beastmasters and the snake on the snowy mountain peak grew fiercer, the thick snow within a hundred meters of them was swept away. Even a thick layer of the mountain rocks was blown away.

Different colored lights kept flashing, and the cries of beasts rang out far and wide. Zhang Che could clearly sense that the weaker exotic beasts behind him had run away in fear.

As time passed, casualties gradually appeared among the team of beastmasters.

The snake exotic beast wasn't doing so well, either. Multiple wounds could be seen on the icy blue scales of its body, and blood of a similar color flowed out from them. It actually looked unusually beautiful.

"Hmm? This snake isn't simple!"

Zhang Che's eyes gradually lit up. He felt that this snake didn't seem to be an ordinary species. Perhaps he shouldn't kill it for the beast card, and have the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon devour it instead?

That way, maybe the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would receive a huge boost in strength!

Zhang Che could clearly remember that the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would grow quickly if he received nourishment from abyssal cold energy.

Of course, it was a little too soon to be thinking about all this…

The team of beastmasters hadn't received too big of a loss yet. If Zhang Che were to rush forth recklessly, although he might not necessarily be in danger, who could guarantee no accident would happen?

If he could save some strength, naturally it would be great.

Time slowly passed. More casualties appeared among the subdued beasts of the beastmasters, and the snake was also covered in injuries.

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes slightly. -It's time!-

With a wave of his hand, he recalled the Purple Jade Condor into his spiritual sea, then summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. The former transformed into a purple tortoise armor, covering Zhang Che inside, while the latter flew towards the peak the other parties were on like lightning, carrying Zhang Che with him.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was extremely fast; the distance between them were only mere hundreds of meters. In only two to three breaths' time, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was in the skies above the peak.

"Damn it, someone came to snatch our kill!"

The group of beastmasters immediately discovered Zhang Che on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back. Every one of them cursed furiously at seeing him.

Their subdued beasts were already knee-deep into the battle against the snake. It was no longer possible for them to withdraw from the fight. Now that an unwanted intruder had suddenly popped up, it could be imagined how serious the consequences would be.

But, they didn't dare stay, either!

They could only glare furiously at Zhang Che on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Every one of them were directing their subdued beasts to retreat down the mountain, and at the same time, guarding against the icy blue snake's counterattack. Millions of curses were flying through their minds.

"You go take care of that snake. Leave those guys to me!" Zhang Che instructed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. He directly leapt off the dragon from tens of meters in the air, landing heavily on the thick snow below.

Meanwhile, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon cried out cheerfully, flying straight in the icy blue snake's direction. He seemed to have sensed the tempting cold energy in the snake's body.

Zhang Che's guess was right. The snake was no ordinary exotic beast. Its body carried a mass of dense abyssal cold energy, which was naturally very attractive to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Jumping down from the sky, Zhang Che directly fell through several meters of snow. Afterwards, the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword appeared in his hand. He swept it around him, exerted strength in his legs and jumped out, giving chase to the beastmasters escaping down the mountain.

Although Zhang Che wasn't someone who loved to kill, he had no choice. The group of beastmasters saw the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and his Purple Crystal Armor. To prevent them from leaking information about him, he could only act as the executioner for once.

Moreover, in Zhang Che's eyes, anyone who wasn't one of his own people couldn't be considered human. Killing them was no big deal.

"Damn it, run!"

Seeing Zhang Che chasing after them like a purple demon, although he wasn't accompanied by any subdued beasts, the group of beastmasters could sense the dangerous aura emanating from him. Who would dare to fight him? They directly got on their subdued beasts and prepared to fly away.

"Thinking of escaping? No can do," Zhang Che smiled faintly. A scarlet ray of light suddenly shot out from between his brows, streaking like lightning, instantly swiping across the neck of one of the beastmasters.

In an instant, blood spurted, and a head flew in the air.

Zhang Che only took a step forward.

He took another step. The scarlet sword light flashed through a second beastmaster's neck, decapitating another.

"He's the devil! Run, run!"

The remaining beastmasters were aghast. They have never seen such an unusual killing method before.

What exactly was that scarlet streak? It was so terrifying, able to cut through a person's neck almost instantly. There wasn't even time for them to react. It was simply unavoidable!

Going forward, a beastmaster would be killed every time Zhang Che moved a step forward. They had no chance of escaping at all.

By the time Zhang Che moved ten steps, the team of beastmasters was annihilated. Their subdued beasts had disappeared into the void, leaving no traces of them having existed behind.

Chapter 341: Surprises One After Another

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

During the entire process, the team of beastmasters didn't even get a hundred meters away.

Zhang Che's proficiency in using the sword had reached an extremely high level, being able to direct it as he wished. At the same time, it was also due to the team of beastmasters not being very strong, with no way to defend against the scarlet sword's attacks.

If there were a couple of them with legendary-quality armor, it wouldn't have been so easy for Zhang Che to decapitate them all with the scarlet sword.

It wasn't that they didn't try to retaliate, either, but their subdued beasts were too weak. When their attacks land on Zhang Che, they were unable to break through the Purple Crystal Armor's defense at all, failing to hurt even a strand of Zhang Che's hair.

" Ai, I didn't want to kill you. Blame it on your bad luck to have seen the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the Purple Crystal Armor," Zhang Che sighed. Truthfully speaking, if he had a choice, he truly wasn't willing to kill so many people.

Alas, he didn't have a choice. They had already seen the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the transformed Purple Crystal Armor. In order to not expose his whereabouts, Zhang Che could only steel himself and act as an executioner, slaughtering them all.

Of course, if he killed them, so be it. In Zhang Che's eyes, they weren't really considered as one of his own. What was the big deal?

After getting rid of the team of beastmasters, Zhang Che turned to look behind him.

On the other side, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had successfully taken care of his battle, too.

Earlier, Zhang Che had seen from a quick glance that the snake was only had the strength of four-star legend-quality beast, a whole level lower than the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, not to mention it had suffered heavy injuries. As such, Zhang Che left it in the hands of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon very assuredly.

From the looks of it now, that fellow was indeed far from a match for the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Currently, the dragon was biting the neck of the snake, and the strength it could muster was quickly falling.

As the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon kept injecting his abyssal cold energy into it, the icy blue snake's body finally went limp, losing all signs of life.

Afterwards, Zhang Che received notification gaining soul force points, his eyes narrowing in excitement.

This truly was killing two birds with one stone. He gained soul force points, and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon got his food. What's next was to see how much benefit the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would get after devouring the snake.

Since the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's body was already crystallized, his eating method was unusual, too. Zhang Che saw multiple blue currents flowing out of the snake's body where the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had bitten it, which were sucked directly into his mouth.

The blue current gushed out at an increasingly fierce rate, while the icy blue snake's body quickly paled in color. Eventually, it turned into a transparent ice snake, and slid down from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's jaws, falling to the ground and shattering into countless shards.

"What an unusual lifeform…" Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. He couldn't understand the reason behind it.

In the next moment, it seemed like dense masses of deep blue currents started stirring in the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. He raised his head and let out a clear cry, then turned into a ray of light and shot back into Zhang Che's spiritual sea.

Zhang Che wasn't surprised at the sudden situation, but happy instead.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was certainly about to undergo an advancement. Why else would he return to Zhang Che's spiritual sea?

As expected, after the five-colored streak of light representing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon returned, a blurry rainbow ray of light immediately fell from the rainbow crystal high up in the air of Zhang Che's spiritual sea, enveloping it.

Zhang Che showed an ecstatic expression. He no longer paid attention to the process of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's evolution. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the ice-clear snow lotus growing in the crevice.

Well, since Zhang Che didn't know what this flower was called, he'd just refer it as a snow lotus for now.

Just as he walked up to the flower, Zhang Che felt a faint fragrance wafting into his nose. If it wasn't for his senses being enhanced by the golden vortex, he might not have sensed it at all.

He even wondered if the golden vortex grew stronger in the future, could it strengthen his senses without limit? At that time, he wouldn't need the glutton that was the frisky monkey to look for spiritual herbs! He just had to perk up his nose and find them from the smell!

-Not right, wouldn't I become a freaking alien dog then?- Zhang Che suddenly felt the shivers, not daring to continue thinking down this line.

He refocused his attention on the snow white lotus, realizing how big it really was. The flower was half a meter wide, and no leaves could be seen underneath it. Only a strong, thick green stem grew out from the snowy ground.

Indeed, spiritual herbs and whatnot couldn't be judged with common sense. Every one of them were as peculiar as could be.

Zhang Che couldn't be bothered to think so much, either. He had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dispel its armor form. Afterwards, a scarlet sword light flashed, slicing the flower from the stem and Zhang Che threw it into the Purple Crystal Tortoise's pocket dimension.

"Now, let's continue on my way. My destination is ten thousand kilometers away. I will need a few days' time to get there."

After playing the fisherman and fishing out two rewards, Zhang Che was in a beautiful mood. He was about to summon the Purple Jade Condor and fly deeper into the beast world, when he suddenly stopped what he was doing. He narrowed his eyes, staring at the crevice where the snow lotus grew.

"Going by common sense, this doesn't seem like a place spiritual qi would gather. Why did such an obviously high-tier spiritual flower grow here?"

Zhang Che thought for a while, then decided to summon the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.

That fellow had a large body. Using him for clearing paths was a very decent choice. He walked forward and swung his strong, thick tail fiercely. The thick layer of snow above the crevice was immediately swept away, revealing the rock strata underneath.

"Come, clear the rocks here. See what exactly is different underneath," Zhang Che instructed the Purple Crystal Tortoise. The latter immediately came up obediently, opening its mouth wide, utilizing its innate attribute. The earth in the crevice was quickly sucked into its mouth, revealing the rock strata underneath.

"Hmm? This rock strata is indeed questionable!" Zhang Che clearly saw a section of the lush green stem growing deep into the rock strata.

That didn't make sense; since when were there plants that grew from rocks!?

Zhang Che immediately grew excited. He ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to continue digging. After digging through the surface layer of rocks, a large piece of translucent crystal that resembled glassy species jadeite suddenly appeared.

-This is…-

Zhang Che quickly scanned through the memories of his predecessor, looking through the oceanic information bank. After a short while, a look of wild joy showed on his face.

He didn't expect his sudden impulse today to have the frisky monkey use his skill to look for spiritual herbs in this area to bring about such huge reward!

Such a surprise, if only they would happen a few times every day! That'd be for the best!

Chapter 342: The Strange Phenomenon Appears Again

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

Countless strands of fibers extended out from the root of the stem, enveloping the whole of the crystal object.

A spiritual herb grew out of a crystal object, just like that. Who would believe it if Zhang Che talked about it?

If he didn't see it for himself, Zhang Che was sure that he wouldn't believe it, either.

So, he immediately started searching through the memories of his predecessor. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally recalled the name of this crystal, as well as its effects.

Spiritual Jade was the name given to this mysterious crystal by the humans on Mercury.

The name didn't sound like anything special, but its effects were especially heaven-defying.

It was just like how Zhang Che discovered it. By burying the spiritual jade in the earth, then planting a spiritual herb with its roots intact above it, it would allow the immature spiritual herbs to continue growing, until it was fully matured.

Not only that, according to the information in his memories, the publicly known biggest spiritual jade in the world was only about a cubic foot in size, said to be owned by a large faction in the Ou Lu region. Its estimated value was over a hundred million… in purple crystal points, to boot!

The spiritual jade Zhang Che discovered was in an uneven oval shape. The widest section was over a meter across, and the narrowest area was also over half a meter across!

"How many purple crystal points is this worth!?"

Once again, Zhang Che really hated his poor math skills. Even with the golden vortex greatly improving his thinking skills, these things that involved general knowledge weren't something he could understand by having faster thinking.

He could make a rough estimation. At the very least, this spiritual jade was worth over a billion purple crystal points!

It sounded like a huge fortune, but it wouldn't be easy to convert it into liquid assets. Moreover, his father-in-law's family seemed to be well-versed in this area. If he were to find out Zhang Che sold off such a treasure, he might beat Zhang Che to death in a fit of anger!

-Hmm, when I return to Hua Xia, I'll rent this out to father-in-law. The amount of rent I can earn a year would be astronomical! Hehehe…-

"Shit!" Zhang Che suddenly thought of something, and his face immediately sank.

That snow lotus seemed to have yet to fully mature, but he had cut it off from the stem down. There was no chance to continue nurturing it anymore.

A spiritual herb of this level would be at least twice as effective if it was fully matured!

Zhang Che felt his heart ache, and felt as if he couldn't breathe. But, no one could have thought that such a big piece of spiritual jade would be underneath, right?

Zhang Che could only console himself that way in the end. Afterwards, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig out the spiritual jade and stored it in its spatial pocket.

Not only that, after digging out the spiritual jade, Zhang Che didn't leave it at that. He directly had the Purple Crystal Tortoise enter the body of this mountain to search carefully, hoping to find more treasures.

Alas, the results were disappointing.

The spiritual qi on this mountain, or perhaps even this entire area, must have gathered onto that large spiritual jade. How could there be any other precious minerals nearby?

"One mustn't be too greedy…" Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. He summoned the Purple Jade Condor, flying deeper into the beast world.

—

His harvests on this trip were already surprisingly plentiful.

Originally, he only thought he found a spiritual herb. In the end, it came together with a unique type of exotic beast, giving the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon a sumptuous meal. The biggest surprise was the discovery of that piece of spiritual jade. This wasn't only an astronomical amount of purple crystal points. It would also be an extraordinary driving factor for the Huang family's rise in strength in the future.

Zhang Che even fantasized about his future father-in-law possibly marrying Miss Tienan off to him when he brought out the spiritual jade, to fully secure Zhang Che to the Huang family's train!

In that case, there was a chance of seeing what Miss Tienan would look like after putting on that soft armor.

-Tsk, I can't continue thinking like that, or I'll get a nosebleed…-

The Purple Jade Condor sped along in the sky, passing by countless mountains and rivers.

Finally… hah, of course he hadn't reached where the giant stone man was. Zhang Che was still close to ten thousand kilometers away from that area. How could he possibly reached there so quickly?

Finally, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was done digesting his food.

Zhang Che looked around below him. There were barely any traces of beastmasters in his surroundings. He decided to have the Purple Jade Condor land in a dense mountain forest and summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.

Looking at the dragon, Zhang Che's lips immediately spread, and he laughed out loud.

After fully digesting the exotic snake's energy, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had risen from five stars to six stars. Not only did his basic combat strength double, the power of his abyssal cold air had increased significantly, too!

As for his quality… forget about it. With just that little snake, Zhang Che would be happy enough to see an increase in star tier; why even think about an increase in quality?

Even the rainbow crystal wasn't able to bring about an increase in quality directly for any beast. It could be well imagined what an enormous amount of energy was required to achieve it.

So, Zhang Che was already very satisfied with what he got.

"With that, Hanming has finally become the strongest of my pets. His question-mark potential attribute wasn't in vain. It seems like his future development is very worth looking forward to!"

Although Zhang Che didn't know how far the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could develop, but it should be above divine-quality at the very least, right?

After all, he had a question mark for his potential attribute. Zhang Che had only seen that one other time, on that exotic beast the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon consumed back then. Even the Umbra Wind God Leopard, who similarly had an extraordinarily high potential, was within the normal limits.

It was a pity, however. Only the heavens knew how long it would take for those two babies to evolve to above divine-quality.

The rise from gold-quality to dark gold-quality alone took three whole months. As for the amount of time needed for the upgrades further down, just thinking about it left his scalp feeling numb.

Since there were hardly any traces of beastmasters' activity in the area, Zhang Che no longer cared much and directly rode on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back, flying off towards his destination.

The Purple Jade Condor was a little too slow for him, not to mention Zhang Che couldn't really handle the strong wind resistance when it flew at top speed. The comfort level was far from comparable to riding on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon…

——

Time passed quickly. By the afternoon, Zhang Che had advanced over a thousand kilometers, and this was under the premise of him carefully avoiding the more dangerous areas. Otherwise, with the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's speed, they would have reached the area where the giant stone man was in a day and a half.

"Hmm? That is…"

When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew pass a large canyon, Zhang Che suddenly discovered an extremely familiar object in his peripheral vision.

He immediately had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon turn back. Looking down with a focused gaze, huge waves instantly rose in his heart.

Chapter 343: The Woman Who Came Walking Out of the Demonic Flower

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

When that familiar object in the canyon appeared in Zhang Che's sight once more, he was so shocked that he nearly fell off the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back.

"Why did I come across another one of those cursed things!?"

Zhang Che's complexion turned incredibly ugly. He was hesitant, unsure whether he should go down and take a look.

White bones were littered all over the canyon, as if it was a ghostly area.

In the area surrounded by those white bones was a bunch of lush green vines, and in the center of those vines a large flower bud standing above them. On the sides of the flower bud were all kinds of captivating patterns.

This object looked no different from the demonic flower Zhang Che had discovered in the beast world at Qian Wei City.

Although he received huge benefits from the demonic flower back then, Zhang Che felt apprehensive towards it. His fear wasn't only for the demonic flower itself, but more towards the mysterious energy behind it.

-Should I get down there and destroy it?- Zhang Che's expression changed multiple times, unable to come to a decision.

His instincts told him that this thing appearing in the beast world was probably not good news to humanity. No one knew what was behind it. If possible, it was best to destroy the flower.

However, Zhang Che was very scared!

Given his current strength, and with the rainbow crystal's protection to his soul, he wasn't afraid of the demonic flower. But, what if he alarmed the thing behind the demonic flower?

"Damn it! Since that mysterious energy needed to borrow the demonic flower's strength to be able to do anything, it means that it wants to come into this world, and so it must be restricted on many fronts, unable to reach here easily."

Zhang Che thought for a long time, and finally decided to get rid of the demonic flower in the canyon.

However, he didn't risk having the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon descend directly. Instead, he had the dragon hover about a hundred meters in the sky. A scarlet ray shot out from between his brows like lightning, flying towards the flower bud below.

With how sharp the scarlet sword was, it should be very easy for it to cut the demonic flower into chop up the demonic flower. After all, the queerness of that thing was its ability to confuse a person's mind. Its attack and defense were so weak that there was not much difference between it and ordinary vegetation.

Given the scarlet sword's speed, it quickly closed the hundred-meter distance.

Just as Zhang Che thought the scarlet sword was about to turn the demonic flower into shreds, the demonic flower's bud exploded by itself.

Its petals blew out in all directions, and a beautiful figure suddenly stood up from within.

Zhang Che subconsciously willed the scarlet sword to change its direction, almost scraping past the beautiful figure. Afterwards, it quickly drew an arc in the air and flew back to Zhang Che, hovering silently next to him.

That person was a prime example of a Caucasian beauty. Her blonde hair fell straight down, covering the two mounds on her chest. Her skin was white as snow, her curves able to cause most women to die from jealousy.

Of course, Zhang Che didn't direct the scarlet sword to change direction because of her beauty.

He was only thinking of the possibility of her triumphing over the demonic flower's soul and receiving great benefits from it, just like himself.

Although that possibility was very minute, it didn't mean it was impossible. Zhang Che wasn't the kind of stubborn man who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than to let the culprit escape.

That woman had a confused look on her face, unaware that she was almost cut down by Zhang Che. She was standing straight up, not realizing she was not wearing anything. Just like that, her beautiful body was laid completely bare in Zhang Che's sight.

After a few breaths' time, she finally blinked, then turned her head and looked up into the sky. Her pupils suddenly emitted an alluring spirit.

Her emerald pupils were like a deep pool of water, filled with temptation. It was like they were threatening to draw in the human's soul.

-So, so beautiful!- Zhang Che couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. Although he had always thought the East's beauties were the most beautiful women in the world, this woman in front of his eyes had indeed flipped his perception of Caucasian women upside down!

-Tsk, tsk. How I wish to go down there and have a round at her!- Zhang Che's gaze gradually became blurred.

At this moment, the golden vortex in his spiritual sea suddenly spun fiercely. A wave of powerful energy suddenly erupted, instantly clearing Zhang Che's mind.

"Shit, this woman has been taken over by the demonic flower!"

Killing intent shone in his eyes. The scarlet sword hovering at his side suddenly turned into a streak of scarlet light, flying a hundred meters out like a bolt of lightning, slashing at the naked woman below.

However, just as the wave of energy erupted from the golden vortex, the woman was already prepared for it. Her beautiful figure suddenly shifted to the side ingeniously, avoiding the scarlet sword's slash by a hair's breadth.

Afterwards, before Zhang Che could launch a second attack, the woman suddenly showed an evil, charming smile to him. She reached out her hand and swiped it across, opening a black gap in the air.

"We can't let her get away!" Zhang Che's face changed dramatically. The scarlet sword moved as he willed, turning back sharply, streaking past the woman's body. Fresh blood immediately spattered.

However, that woman avoided it at the crucial moment, keeping her vitals safe. Although a harrowing wound appeared on her abdomen, her life wasn't in any danger.

Before Zhang Che could make another move, she directly jumped up and into the black gap in the air, disappearing from Zhang Che sight. Only a streak of crimson red blood was left on the ground.

"Fuck! Damn it!" Zhang Che slapped his forehead in frustration. There was nothing he could do now that the black gap had disappeared without a trace.

Just as he was filled with annoyance, an enormous pressure suddenly weighed down from the sky. A golden streak of light was quickly flying in his direction from the far horizon.

"Heck, what is it now!?" Zhang Che was scared soulless. He immediately ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly to the forest next to the canyon.

Just as they hid themselves, the golden light shot into the canyon like a golden comet, turning into a huge dragon covered in golden scales.

It was a typical western dragon.

The huge golden dragon quickly gathered its wings together, standing over ten meters in the canyon, its body over fifty meters long. The golden shimmering scales on its body were filled with a sacred, yet tyrannical mighty aura.

Even though Zhang Che was hiding in the forest several hundred meters away, the aura was still pressing down heavily on him, forcing him to lay tightly against the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back, and breathing proved to be a little difficult right now.

The huge golden dragon looked at the blood stain in the canyon, and the spread of lush green vines on the ground. It suddenly let out a furious roar, breathing a column of golden flames from its mouth, burning them into ashes.

When that was done, the huge golden dragon turned its head towards Zhang Che's direction with a glance, seemingly coincidentally. Afterwards, it spread its large golden wings and turned into a streak of golden light, streaking off to the horizon, quickly disappearing from Zhang Che's sight.

Zhang Che was covered in cold sweat. When the huge golden dragon swept its gaze in his direction, the feeling was similar to back when the divine bird covered in golden snakes of lightning glanced at him in the beast world behind the spatial gateway in Qian Wei City. It was like his soul itself was going to freeze.

When the golden streak of light vanished into the far horizon, Zhang Che finally regained a hint of strength. He sat up on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.

Chapter 344: Time Waits For No Man

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

That demonic flower was enough to leave him terrified. Where did this huge golden dragon suddenly appear from?

Zhang Che felt like his brain was overwhelmed.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the huge golden dragon was obviously here for that woman who was taken over by the demonic flower.

In that case, there was another question. -Why didn't a similar powerful creature appear when I walked out of the demonic flower?-

-Could it be because of me reverse-killing the demonic flower's soul, leaving those powerful creatures unable to sense it? Perhaps that was the reason why?-

Zhang Che shook his head, no longer thinking about it. In any case, those things were too far out of his reach for now. It was useless to think about it, only making him feel more troubled.

He mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and directly changed his direction, heading deeper into the beast world once more.

The reappearance of the demonic flower made Zhang Che feel like a huge threat was approaching.

Although he didn't understand what exactly this signified, but he knew that it wouldn't be anything good.

How could something that even left such extremely powerful creatures feeling troubled be a good sign?

Zhang Che could even vaguely sense that the once-a-decade beast swarm might not be the greatest threat for humanity. The mysterious energy behind the demonic flower might be it.

After all, although the beast swarm had seemingly forced humanity into extremely difficult circumstances, there weren't any signs of humanity going extinct. Instead, a mysterious force seemed to be urging the humans on Mercury to develop in the direction of beastmasters.

In the last few decades, humanity had inevitably been developing in another direction. Although there were many breakthroughs in the advancement of technology as well, the difference was like heaven and earth when compared to the progress in the areas related to beastmasters.

A fully equipped high-tier beastmaster wasn't someone scientific weapons could easily destroy. It was only possible to kill a powerful high-tier beastmaster if nuclear weapons were used.

Even so, was a high-tier beastmaster the endgame of development?

Based on the divine bird and the huge golden dragon Zhang Che saw, perhaps even nuclear weapons wouldn't be much of a threat of them!

So, what if beastmasters could own subdued beasts of such a level in the future? How effective would scientific weapons be then?

Countless thoughts went through his mind. Zhang Che suddenly felt how tight on time he actually was.

There was still a long way to go for him to become a high-tier beastmaster!

However, no one knew if the mysterious force behind the demonic flower would suddenly erupt one day, sweeping through all of the beast worlds, or even appear on Mercury?

"How great it would be if I transmigrated a decade or two earlier!" Zhang Che couldn't help but lament, feeling a sense of how time waited for no man.

If he had transmigrated even ten years earlier, he would have become a high-tier beastmaster by now, not to mention being an expert among them.

Alas, this was only his wishful thinking.

Going forward, Zhang Che could only try his best to become stronger, to ensure his self-preservation during the possible huge changes in the future, and to have the strength to protect his close ones.

The first step to become stronger was naturally to go hunt that giant stone man.

If he had an epic-quality subdued beast, Zhang Che's overall strength would experience a qualitative change. He would have the strength to fight if he encountered those powerful exotic beasts in the future, or perhaps even slay them, obtaining even greater fighting strength.

-A pity it will be heaven-knows-when for the Umbra Wind God Leopard to truly mature, and I won't have to come to Bei Mei region so pathetically to hunt a mid-tier epic-quality exotic beast. I feel guilty for always stealing from others!-

Although that was what he thought, the smile on Zhang Che's face thoroughly betrayed him. This rascal was close to being addicted to stealing precious resources from foreign lands. What bullshit guilt was he talking about…

—

For the rest of the day, Zhang Che didn't cover much ground.

After all, as he went deeper into the beast world, there might be some exotic beasts so strong that he couldn't afford to offend them nearby. For the sake of his safety, he had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon slow down greatly, and flew at a much lower altitude. He was afraid of drawing the lord-class flying beasts' attention.

Therefore, distance or whatnot wasn't a problem at all. The only thing that hindered Zhang Che was the fact that he wasn't strong enough.

If his babies were as strong as the golden lightning divine bird or that huge golden dragon from earlier, what did he have to fear? He could directly travel at his fastest speed! See if which exotic beast was so dumb as to dare block his way?

"Indeed, becoming a true expert is a long but important road!"

Seeing the sky gradually turning dark, Zhang Che had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon stop and found a mountain with sparse vegetation to land on. After a simple dinner, he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise dig a cave in the side of the mountain.

Deep in the beast world, there was nowhere safer than being in the body of a mountain. After all, exotic beasts that could travel through the earth were very rare.

Even if there were, they might not know Zhang Che was inside which mountain for sure and come attack him, right? If he really came across such a situation, Zhang Che could only blame it on his bad luck.

Since it was still early, and with how crazy his day went, how could Zhang Che be sleepy already? He decided to bring out the spiritual jade he dug out earlier and place it in front of him, studying it carefully. He was hoping to calm himself by seemingly counting his fortune. Otherwise, he would have a nightmare tonight.

After looking at it for some time, Zhang Che had yet to calm down when he suddenly had the idea to have the Purple Crystal Tortoise bring the large, ice sculpture-like snow lotus flower out.

Holding the refreshing-smelling spiritual flower, Zhang Che connected the flower with the spiritual jade where the stem was cut, thinking how great it would be if the spiritual flower could absorb the jade's energy. The difference between a mature and an immature spiritual flower at such a grade was truly too great.

Originally, Zhang Che was only giving it a try on a sudden impulse. Unexpectedly, when the snow lotus' severed stem came into contact with the spiritual jade, an obvious fluctuation of energy quickly flowed out from the spiritual jade. Afterwards, tiny strands of fiber actually grew out from the stem at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Oh shit, it actually works this way too!" Zhang Che's jaw nearly fell to the ground. He didn't dare believe what his eyes were seeing.

Afterwards, Zhang Che stood at the spiritual jade's side, carrying the refreshing snow lotus. He watched as the strands of fiber slowly grow stronger and thicker where they were connected to the spiritual jade to.

In the end, after an indeterminate amount of time, Zhang Che felt sore in his arms, even with his strong physique. The new roots below the stem had grown as thick as ordinary threads, their length about a foot long, tightly adhered to the surface of the spiritual jade.

The petals that had originally started turning dimmer were now rejuvenated, emitting hints of glossy sparkles.

Zhang Che was overjoyed. A ray of light shot out from between his brows. The frisky monkey was summoned.

"Zhizhi, zhizhi!"

Just as the frisky monkey cried out twice excitedly, his ugly face immediately scrunched together, seemingly on the verge of tears.

"Come, help daddy hold up this flower. Don't let it move. Now, let me go sleep first."

Once again, Zhang Che had oppressed the hardworking frisky monkey shamelessly. He walked off to the side and brought out his sleeping bag, found his way into it and closed his eyes, gradually falling asleep.

Regrettably, Zhang Che didn't have any nightmares that night about the demonic flower or the huge golden dragon.

Chapter 345: Revisiting an Old Haunt, Swords Acting Strangely

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

When Zhang Che woke up, he felt refreshed.

He couldn't help but lament, -Not having any dreams is the only way to sleep well, no matter if it is a pleasant dream or a nightmare.-

When he opened his eyes, the cave was still dark. The only source of light was the scarlet fiery illumination from the Scarlet Flame Drake's body.

"Hmm?" Zhang Che suddenly felt something. He turned his head around, and he saw the frisky monkey carrying the snow lotus with both arms. His head was turned towards Zhang Che, his eyes filled with resentment.

This hardworking little thing actually didn't move the slightest bit for the whole night. How tired must he be?

"Be good, I'll have the Scarlet Flame Drake roast some meat to reward you later!"

Zhang Che felt greatly moved. It wasn't easy to find such a hardworking baby nowadays.

After hearing about having roasted meat to eat, the frisky monkey's originally sorrowful face immediately lit up. His resentful eyes even produced a resplendent glitter.

-Hmm, an easily pacified child, indeed. A roasted meat meal is all it takes to appease him.-

Zhang Che squirmed out of his sleeping bag, and started looking carefully at the snow lotus, still held up by the frisky monkey.

"Hah, this thing grows really fast!"

Zhang Che was incredibly surprised. Only a night had passed. The root fibers that were originally only a foot long had grown so long that they enveloped the whole spiritual jade.

"Zhizhi, zhizhi!" the frisky monkey immediately cried out when he saw the look of praise on Zhang Che.

-Ai, this honest child. The root of the snow lotus had grown so concentrated. Do you still have to keep holding it like that?-

As expected, when Zhang Che ordered the frisky monkey to let go of the snow lotus, the half-meter-wide flower remained erected on its lone stem, standing above the spiritual jade. There were no signs of it falling or tipping to the side at all.

The frisky monkey blinked a few times. -Was my work since last night for naught?-

Zhang Che didn't pay attention to this honest child. He summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise, freshening up himself with the water brought out from its spatial pocket. Afterwards, he brought out a few large pieces of exotic beast meat and skewered them with the ferocious beast's bone spikes. He stabbed the skewers into the wall, then had the Scarlet Flame Drake breathe flames, cooking them.

Well, it wasn't right to lie to a child, right?

So, Zhang Che immediately made good on his earlier promise, preparing a sumptuous feast of roasted meat for the grateful frisky monkey.

—

After eating their breakfast, Zhang Che walked out of the cave and set off in his intended direction once more.

The upcoming part of their journey had many more hidden dangers. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon suppressed his speed to a large degree, advancing only a thousand kilometers or so a day.

—

Three days later, in the afternoon, the outline of a familiar huge mountain finally appeared in his sight.

It was all thanks to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon that they were able to find their way back here. He remembered the route they had taken clearly. If Zhang Che had tried to find his way here by himself, he would be at least a thousand kilometers off, straying off to God-knows-where.

Sometimes, humans were really no better than animals.

Sitting on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back, Zhang Che couldn't help but lament when he saw that majestic mountain. "I'm finally back here!"

Over their several thousand kilometer long journey during the past few days, although he didn't encounter any real dangers, there were quite a few scares.

The closest shave he experienced was encountering a group of high-tier gold-quality exotic bees.

Although those exotic bees weren't very strong individually, and Zhang Che's legend-quality babies could totally fight them in single combat, the other party wouldn't agree to it! A wide spread of them came rushing at once, and not even the gods and devils would dare take them on!

Zhang Che was simply helpless when he encountered these unreasonable exotic beast groups that specifically used their numbers to crush others. In the end, he could only order the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly faster, shaking them off with their difference in speed.

Even now, Zhang Che could feel his hairs standing on end when he thought back to it!

A group of high-tier gold-quality beasts in such frightening numbers were simply invincible in the beast world, unless they encountered an epic-quality exotic beast. Any other types of exotic beasts were doomed to become their food if they couldn't run away.

"Bloody hell, looks like dangers are really lurking everywhere in the beast world. I can't afford to get careless at all!"

Fortunately, now that he had arrived in the vicinity of the majestic mountain, Zhang Che could finally rest at ease.

With that ferocious beast's skeleton around, there shouldn't be any exotic beasts who dared come there.

As for whether exotic beasts with the same level and quality as the ferocious beast would pass by here coincidentally, Zhang Che wasn't worried about that.

There were probably not many exotic beasts at its level in the beast world. If he could run into one of them so casually, he wouldn't have survived until now.

In order to thank the ferocious beast's skeleton for providing him a safe haven, naturally Zhang Che had to go pay his respects to the remains.

Although he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise bury the remains back then, it wasn't difficult to clear it. He didn't have to do it himself, anyway.

Only those who could be oppressed were good babies!

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew close to the ground, quickly arriving at the platform on the peak of the mountain.

Looking over, Zhang Che realized that the area wasn't any different from how it was when he left. The only thing new was a thick layer of dust now covering the rocks.

It seemed like the skeleton emanated the same ferocious aura, even though it was buried deep under the rocks, and no exotic beasts dared to come close.

Zhang Che jumped down from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's back. Looking at the pile of rubble on the platform, he thought for a moment and decided against summoning the Purple Crystal Tortoise to act as a coolie.

As he was right now, he couldn't bring the skeleton away. Why waste the energy?

As he thought that, the two swords in his spiritual sea suddenly trembled violently.

-What's going on?- Zhang Che was shocked, thinking there might be danger around him. He hurriedly summoned his capable babies and focused his senses, but he didn't discover anything amiss.

Even so, the two swords trembled increasingly violently.

If they weren't under Zhang Che's control, they would probably have flown out from his spiritual sea.

-What's going on with the two swords?- Zhang Che was confused. He immediately thought of a possibility. -Could it be because of the skeleton below me?-

Whether that was true or not, he'd know immediately after testing it!

In the next moment, two streaks of light, one scarlet and one white, flew out from Zhang Che's brows, circling around him.

It was the first time Zhang Che felt the two swords appealing to him to let go of his control over them!

Zhang Che had an uncertain look on his face. He truly had no idea what was going on with the two swords.

Wouldn't he be at a loss and have no one to cry to if he gave up his control over them and they flew away, just like that?

However, Zhang Che had no choice but to take the situation into careful consideration, seeing how the swords were acting.

It was without a doubt that they discovered something.

To let go or not to let go… That was the question…

Chapter 346: Able to Accomplish Great Things

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Edited by Aelryinth

The two swords flew around Zhang Che at high speed, circling non-stop.

Also, the information they sent to Zhang Che via the golden vortex was becoming clearer and clearer.

"What? You discovered something delicious?"

Zhang Che's eyes widened when he understood the situation.

-You guys are freaking swords! Swords! Do swords even need to eat?-

Zhang Che felt like his comprehension of things was flipped upside down.

Animals needing to eat food was nothing strange. Exotic beasts turning into beast cards after their deaths and them being able to eat food after appearing in their original form was also understandable.

But, since when did objects like freaking swords have to eat?

Zhang Che was a hundred percent certain the two swords were pure, unadulterated weapons, and not beast cards or whatever unusual exotic beast types.

All of a sudden, Zhang Che recalled that devilish face he met in the secret plane said. He said something like the two swords were Spiritual Sword fragments..?

Spiritual Swords! Gods knew how "spiritual" they were. Now, Zhang Che finally witnessed their uniqueness for the first time.

-Could it be that the two swords can devour other objects to advance themselves? Or perhaps self-regenerate?-

Thinking of that, Zhang Che's eyes immediately lit up.

He pondered for a short while. With a change of thought, the golden vortex in his spiritual sea suddenly shone, instantly revoking Zhang Che's control over the two swords.

In the next moment, the scarlet and white swords suddenly turned into two streaks of light and flew straight into the pile of rubble in front of Zhang Che.

"As expected…" Zhang Che nodded. Those two were really treating the ferocious beast's skeleton as food!

The problem was, with their "fangs", could they chew through the ferocious beast's skeleton?

In the past, Zhang Che had tried using the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword to cut through it with its skill activated, but was unable to leave a scratch on it at all. Physical attacks below divine-quality wouldn't able to leave a mark.

Zhang Che immediately grew interested. He hurriedly directed the Purple Crystal Tortoise to clear the rubble. Afterwards, he saw the two swords had turned into two streaks of light and flown into the gaps of the skeleton, disappearing from his sight.

This is… they were trying to chew through it from within!

The Purple Crystal Tortoise continued clearing the rubble away. Meanwhile, Zhang Che moved a large rock over and sat on it, observing the changes happening on the skeleton silently.

However, as time slowly passed by the minute and seconds, Zhang Che didn't see any changes after a few minutes.

-Heh, you can't chew through it, can you?- Zhang Che shook his head. He didn't know what those two swords were doing inside. The skeleton was obviously not something they could chew through. Why did they even bother?

-Hmm? Not right!- Zhang Che suddenly sat up straight, staring straight at the ferocious beast's skeleton.

The skeleton, which was originally had a gentle jade-like luster to it, suddenly started to dull in color. Its luster had faded by quite a bit.

-Could it be that the swords are absorbing a certain substance in the skeleton?-

Harboring such a guess, Zhang Che stared at the skeleton without blinking, afraid of missing whatever unknown changes.

Indeed, as time passed, the luster on the skeleton grew fainter and fainter. In the end, it completely disappeared.

Looking at it once more, the ferocious beast's skeleton was no different from ordinary exotic beasts' bones.

Zhang Che guessed that if he used the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword to slash at the ferocious beast's skeleton right now, he would easily leave a deep cut on the skeleton.

Before he could experiment to see if his estimation was true, the skeleton suddenly exploded with a loud boom. It collapsed, turning into a pile of countless bone shards.

"They, they ate it all up so quickly!"

After the skeleton collapsed, Zhang Che saw the two streaks of light flying back to him cheerfully. They turned back into swords, silently hovering in front of him, expressing their extreme happiness to him.

Zhang Che looked closely at the two swords. He didn't know if he was imagining things, but he realized the quality of the swords seemed to have changed completely. Although the shine on the swords were no longer as sharp as before, there was a certain ferocity concealed within.

"God knows how much your sharpness has increased…" Zhang Che mumbled, looking at them. "Can you easily pierce through legend-quality exotic beasts?"

The two swords didn't answer him… They couldn't speak! How were they supposed to answer!?

Therefore, a ray of light shot out from between Zhang Che's brow. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had an undying body of abyssal cold, and was made a guinea pig by Zhang Che once again.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had a hurt expression on his face* -Why is it me every time?-*

Zhang Che chuckled, "Who told you to be vulnerable to only innate fire elemental attacks?"

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was immediately at a loss for words. His slim body swayed in the air, -Come on, I'm used to it anyway…-

Zhang Che immediately shifted his gaze onto the two swords floating in the sky. At his will, they were called into his spiritual sea, allowing the golden vortex to take control of them again.

In the next moment, the scarlet sword flew out once more, slashing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's tail at lightning speed, producing a soft noise.

Zhang Che's jaw immediately dropped, unable to close it.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon let out a low groan in fright. A whole section of his tail was cut off by the scarlet sword, falling to the ground.

Not only that, Zhang Che saw a faint layer of scarlet glow on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon where his tail was cut off, like maggots feeding on a corpse. No matter how much abyssal cold air the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon gathered there, he was unable to dispel it.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon nearly cried. He almost lost his balance after losing his tail and rushed up to Zhang Che. He looked at his master pitifully, tears seemed to be welling up in his sappire-like eyes.

"Tsk, it's actually so powerful!"

Because the layer of scarlet light could not be purged, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's severed tail couldn't reconnect to his body. If too much time passed, his tail might turn into abyssal cold air and disperse into the surroundings.

Although this fellow only had to return to Zhang Che's spiritual sea to regenerate a new tail with the help of the rainbow crystal's energy, he still hoped to reconnect with the current severed portion.

-Could it be that this scarlet glow is an innate fire element?- Zhang Che immediately thought of this. A wave of joy quickly came over him.

It had both sharpness and innate fire elements! The scarlet sword had truly reborn anew!

-Then, can it injure epic-quality exotic beasts? Putting high-tier epic-quality beasts aside, mid-tier epic-quality beasts must be unable to withstand such a powerful weapon, right?-

"Great! With that, I'm much more confident in hunting that giant stone man!"

Zhang Che's eyes narrowed in joy. However, he didn't forget to have the scarlet sword retract the innate fire elements on both sections of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon's tail.

Once the parasitic innate fire elements were retracted, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon immediately let out a long sigh of relief. The severed section of tail rose in the air, connecting itself back onto his wound. Afterwards, a concentrated deep blue abyssal cold aura gushed out madly.

Not even a minute later, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon became lively again.

However, his gaze towards the scarlet sword hovering in front of Zhang Che was filled with fear, afraid that it would cut him again.

-Bitch, that hurt like hell…-
