The Rank 2 beast appraisers were startled by Tan Xun's statement. It seemed like he now had a conclusion.
Then, Tan Xun produced several needles and skillfully pierced them into the monitor lizard's body. It was a given that he chose the area around its belly as the rest of its body was covered in tough scales that these needles would never penetrate.
And yet, less than a second after inserting these needles, before he could proceed to the next step, the needles were pushed out by a force within its body and all of them fell to the floor.
"It's dragon energy!" Tan Xun's expression darkened.
The Rank 2 beast appraisers looked confused. Before they could ask, Tan Xun inquired instead, "Are you very sure that this is all you've fed the monitor lizard?"
He was pointing to the evaluation report as he spoke.
"We're more than certain. We'd never dare to hide anything from you, sir," replied one of the Rank 2 beast appraisers.
