“What is he doing?”
The Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace exclaimed in surprise.
Zhuge Heng also looked puzzled.
“If he can’t withstand the True Dragon’s might, he might explode and die!” Palace Master Shang quickly warned.
After watching quietly for a few seconds, Zhuge Heng said, “Since he can go up, it proves he’s already mentally prepared. Just watch quietly!”
“But young people his age like to show off. He probably doesn’t know the power of the Ninth Division!” Palace Master Shang reminded again.
Zhuge Heng glanced at Palace Master Shang. “Lao Shang, are you afraid of taking responsibility if someone from the Ninth Division dies here? Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”
Palace Master Shang gave an awkward laugh. “I’m just worried, you know. Such a promising talent, I can’t just watch him die in front of me!”
As he spoke, Palace Master Shang kept his eyes on Fang Xin.
Fang Xin had already been up there for more than ten seconds. Although he looked flushed, as if he had just exercised vigorously, there were no other adverse reactions.
“That shouldn’t be right. Only SSS-rank can go up there!” Palace Master Shang said, puzzled.
Zhuge Heng was also slightly surprised, as he knew what the ninth level of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace’s Talent Staircase represented.
After a moment of thought, he said, “Perhaps… he has a Strength Talent!”
Palace Master Shang nodded. “That’s the only explanation. A Strength Talent, and an SSS-rank Strength Talent at that. His physical body is far stronger than an ordinary Beast Tamer’s. With that, it makes sense.”
Time passed by minute by minute.
Fang Xin felt a strange aura merging with the aura inside his body.
During this process, Fang Xin also gained a wild, rugged temperament, in addition to an ineffable kingly aura.
“In the history of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, what’s the longest anyone has stayed on the ninth level?”
Palace Master Shang thought for a moment. “It was the founding patriarch of our Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, who stayed for a full forty minutes. The second longest was the Old Palace Master, who has now retired, and stayed for thirty-two minutes. As for the third, he only stayed for thirteen minutes! All three of them triggered unusual celestial phenomena and drew the worship of all beasts!
I have an SS-rank Beast Taming Talent, and I tried it before. I couldn’t withstand it and came out after two minutes!
This new student of yours, with an SS-rank Beast Taming Talent and also a top-tier Strength Talent, should be able to stay a bit longer than me. But after all, the ninth level contains the purest True Dragon aura. No matter how strong the physical body, there’s a limit!”
Zhuge Heng didn’t speak, quietly waiting for Fang Xin.
At this moment, Fang Xin felt that besides his heart beating a little faster, there were no other adverse reactions. That aura was still merging with him.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes later.
Palace Master Shang couldn’t sit still. He craned his neck to look up, his eyes wide.
“Ten minutes? How is that possible? He couldn’t have died up there, could he?”
Fang Xin, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes to signal that he was fine.
Palace Master Shang was stunned.
“It’s so far, can he hear us talking?”
Zhuge Heng smiled calmly, “I forgot to mention, even without using potions, he also has an S-rank Perception Talent!”
Palace Master Shang’s eyes widened even more. He stared at Fang Xin, intensely covetous, as if looking at an unparalleled treasure.
“You really did pick up a treasure!”
As he spoke, Palace Master Shang didn’t forget to check the time. “He’s already lasted eleven minutes. He’s about to catch up to the third strongest person in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace’s history!”
Visibly, a faint purple aura swirled around Fang Xin.
Many low-level fierce beasts and spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace began to grow restless, emitting low growls.
Two minutes later, Palace Master Shang, who had been sitting on a rock, slapped his furry thigh and stood up. “He has surpassed the third strongest expert of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace!”
The aura swirling around Fang Xin became even thicker.
The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Palace occasionally echoed with the frantic roars of restless low-level fierce beasts.
In the wilderness, a deer carrying a monkey galloped towards them.
Palace Master Shang looked over.
Both the deer and the monkey were staring at Fang Xin on the ninth level of the steps.
A few seconds later, the deer turned its head to look at Zhuge Heng.
Zhuge Heng offered a kind smile, “Good evening!”
The next second, the deer spoke in human language, but the voice that came out was a very magnetic woman’s voice, “Mr. Zhuge, this is…”
“A new student from the Ninth Division!”
Both figures were intently staring at Fang Xin on the ninth level of the steps.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Fang Xin had now lasted for twenty minutes.
The aura swirling around Fang Xin became even thicker.
All the intermediate-level fierce beasts and spirit beasts in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Palace began to stir restlessly.
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace became incredibly lively.
And above this mountain.
The clear night sky suddenly gathered many clouds and mists.
Vaguely, a terrifying presence seemed to be flickering within them.
“Twenty minutes!” Palace Master Shang swallowed hard.
A tiger’s roar came.
A majestic white tiger quickly approached, settling not far away, its pair of golden tiger eyes fixed on Fang Xin.
Another colorful, unknown fierce bird descended from the sky, circling before landing on a treetop, staring at Fang Xin.
Immediately after, a wild boar as tall as a man charged forward, reaching the group, its blood-red eyes fixed on Fang Xin.
“Good evening, everyone!” Zhuge Heng greeted everyone very politely.
“A new student from the Ninth Division?” The fierce wild boar’s mouth emitted a rough voice. One of its two tusks was half broken, the other gleamed coldly.
“Yes!”
“SSS-rank Beast Taming Talent?” the wild boar asked again.
Palace Master Shang was noticeably more polite to these three newcomers. Hearing the question, he patiently explained, “No, he has an SS-rank Beast Taming Talent, but an SSS-rank Strength Talent.”
When the time reached half an hour.
The faint purple aura swirling around Fang Xin had already split into two, happily circling him.
Above the sky.
Behind the rolling thick clouds.
An enormous dragon head slowly emerged from within.
Terrifying and majestic pressure swept in all directions!
Roar!
All at once!
All the fierce beasts and spirit beasts in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Palace let out frantic, restless cries.
So much so that everyone woke up.
Palace Master Shang’s eyes were as wide as an ox’s.
“Half an hour! Half an hour!”
Thirty-one minutes!
Thirty-two minutes!
Thirty-three minutes!
At the very moment it reached thirty-two minutes!
Palace Master Shang, overcome with emotion, clutched his head. “He has surpassed the second strongest expert in the history of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace!”
The other figures also looked incredibly shocked.
The commotion in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace grew louder and louder.
It seemed as if the entire world had been boiled by the terrifying roars of the fierce beasts.
All eyes were fixed in Fang Xin’s direction.
Thirty-four minutes!
Thirty-five minutes!
...
The experts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace stared at Fang Xin.
He was about to surpass the founding patriarch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace.
If he truly surpassed the founding patriarch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace.
They would keep this young man at all costs!
Thirty-seven minutes!
Thirty-eight minutes!
Fang Xin’s face was flushed red.
He looked down at the back of his hand.
Fang Xin clearly felt that.
With the continuous merging of this aura.
It wouldn’t be a problem for him to hold on for a bit longer.
It was just that his Slaughter Talent was almost uncontrollable.
Thirty-nine minutes!
When there was only one minute left to match the founding patriarch.
Fang Xin suddenly stood up.
He forcibly ended all processes.
Clouds rolled in the sky.
A dragon roared to the heavens!
Pressure swept in all directions!
All beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace bowed in worship!
“Just a hair! Just a hair short of surpassing the founding patriarch!” Palace Master Shang licked his lips, his forehead covered in sweat. He had only intended to do a favor, but he hadn’t expected such a huge commotion.
It even triggered unusual celestial phenomena and the worship of all beasts!
The deer, monkey, white tiger, colorful bird, and wild boar that had come to watch all looked incredibly shocked.
Their expressions varied.
Especially the wild boar closest to him.
It had already entertained the thought of snatching him away.
A Sparrow suddenly flew over.
It hovered in front of Palace Master Shang, flapping its wings.
Palace Master Shang quickly extended both hands to cup the Sparrow.
“Old Palace Master!”
The Sparrow stared at Fang Xin, then tilted its head to look at the handsome white-haired man, Zhuge Heng, who stood beside him with his hands in his pockets, a smile playing on his lips.
The next second, an ancient voice actually came from the Sparrow’s mouth.
“He truly is a promising talent! Young man from the Zhuge family, if you let this child come to our Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, I will give you a divine beast with twelve-tier combat power!
How about it?”
