"A Deadwood Withered Snake?"
Seeing the tiny Snake jumping out of the fading mist, Liu Hongtong widened his eyes.
Paying no attention to the others' gazes, he quickly ran forward. He come near Deadwood Withered Snake and picked it up from the ground.
Seeing the fast knot on the Deadwood Withered Snake, he was struck out of words.
Thinking that his Deadwood Withered Snake was the one who did it himself, a legion of curses almost erupted from his mouth.
"How… how could you be so stupid?"
The Deadwood Withered Snake felt wronged. Via the Seed of Beasts, it tried its best to narrate the incident that took place within the Aura of Eternity.
"Ye Xuan!"
After the Deadwood Withered Snake reiterated it several times, Liu Hongtong roughly guessed the sequence of events from its mumbling, disconnected, and incoherent Mind Ripples.
When he learned that this was Ye Xuan's Elf-like Beast's doing, he became even more exasperated. Staring at the Deadwood Withered Snake's body that was tied up into a knot, he felt speechless.
"You are a Bronze-Level Beast!"
A Bronze-Level Beast being bullied by an Apprentice-Level Beast until this extent; he was almost certain that he would become Jiangzhou University's laughingstock in the future.
At the same time, the others present at the venue also guessed the truth of the matter when Liu Hongtong yelled Ye Xuan's name.
It was just that after learning about the truth, they all looked at each other.
Meanwhile, they knew that from this moment onward, Ye Xuan's name was probably going to spread all across Jiangzhou University.
Before he was enrolled, he was brought to the school by Jiangzhou University's most renowned deputy dean for his Beast to be baptized by the Aura of Eternity.
Later, with cultivation attainments in the Apprentice-Level, he cucked the Bronze-Level Beast of a senior.
With these two incidents, Ye Xuan would probably become the most popular specially enrolled student in Jiangzhou University's history.
...
Amid the crowd, Ye Han was in an even greater state of shock.
At this moment, he finally understood why Ye Xuan left in such a hurry.
For the moment, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, after just he told Ye Xuan to be careful of Liu Hongtong moments before, he would proceed to provoke him like that.
...
In the distance.
Seeing the eyes of the crowd that were cast on himself and after several failed attempts in undoing the knot on the Deadwood Withered Snake, he flicked his sleeves,
Then he left the venue without his Deadwood Withered Snake.
...
Upon leaving Jiangzhou University, Lin Shiru instructed Ye Xuan on the situation while traveling with the Sacred Divine Wood.
"There's a secret realm in Cangzhou University, named the Spirit Secret Realm. Within the Spirit Secret Realm, there is a training tower which is called the Spirit Pagoda. That is the place I'm going to take you to right now."
"Every Beast Tamer is eligible to enter the Spirit Pagoda to challenge the levels within."
"The Spirit Pagoda will arrange varying opponents for the Beast Tamer who went in according to their level. By then, what you have to do is to pass as many levels as possible and acquire a higher rating."
"The higher your final rating, the more rewards you will obtain at the end."
"Rewards?" Ye Xuan asked curiously, "Miss Lin, what kind of rewards will the Spirit Pagoda provide?"
Having that, Lin Shiru glanced at Ye Xuan and said, "The pagoda gives rewards in accordance with the Beasts of a Beast Tamer. You have two Beasts, an Ancient Wood Elf and a Tyrannosaur."
"By then, the Spirit Pagoda will reward you with the best evolution materials that you can use to assist them in leveling up. This is also the reason why I told you that your Tyrannosaur will be able to advance into Dark Iron level very quickly."
"Besides, if you are able to advance into Dark Iron level as soon as possible, you can also try to tame yourself a good beast within the Spirit Secret Realm."
"Aside from the Spirit Pagoda, there are plenty of space in the other parts of the Spirit Secret Realm."
"Besides, every time this secret realm closes, many fissures in Space that connect to many unknown worlds will appear. Hence, it is likely that unknown Beasts will appear within the secret realm."
Ye Xuan nodded in understanding. Within him, a profound sense of interest was incited.
Later, he thought of something, he abruptly asked a question, "Miss Lin, since that secret realm is under Cangzhou University, what has to be paid for us to go there?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Lin Shiru said faintly.
After comtemplating for a bit she said, "There's another thing that you must remember. The Spirit Secret Realm opens once a year. Today is the day the Spirit Secret Realm will open. By then, many students of Cangzhou University and the high school affiliated to Cangzhou University would probably head into the secret realm."
"When you get in there, do not cause any trouble. Of course, you don't have to worry about trouble finding its way to you as well."
"When you're out there, you are representing Jiangzhou University!"
Ye Xuan heard her and nodded solemnly.
...
Cangzhou Prefecture.
In front of a gourd-shaped valley, thousands of young faces, full of vigor and vitality, were on their tiptoes, and full of expectation.
In front of these young faces, there were dozens of teachers leading them.
Of all these youngsters brimming with the spirit of youth, a portion of them were from the high school affiliated to Cangzhou University, and another portion of them were formal students from Cangzhou University.
The valley in front of them was an entrance to a secret realm.
It was said that of the many notable geniuses of Cangzhou University, at the moment when they first emerged, they acquired great benefits from this very secret realm.
While waiting, one of the student asked. "Mr. Jiang, when will the Spirit Secret Realm open?"
The teacher answered, "There will be a slight time difference every time when the Spirit Secret Realm opens. Sometimes it may be a few hours earlier, and sometimes it may be a few hours late. You just have to wait patiently."
"But of course, we've been waiting over here for so long. So, no matter how late it is this time, two hours would probably the longest we have to wait.
The student who raised the question put on a dreary expression.
"We still have to wait for two hours?"
Bzzz!
At this moment after he showed this expression, he abruptly discovered the space before him quivering out of the blue. Subsequently, an emerald seed emerged in the void.
"What's going on? Is the Spirit Secret Realm about to open?"
Just as he thought so, as the space in front of him quivered for a moment, that strange seed suddenly disappeared, and an emerald-colored ancient tree dozens of meters tall appeared before him.
Whoosh!
After the Ancient Tree appeared, the branches that were hanging downward initially rose up and revealed two figures.
After a series of Teleportations, Ye Xuan was already used to it.
At this moment, when he saw the Sacred Divine Wood retracting its branches, he immediately looked around of your curiosity. "Are we in Cangzhou?"
But as he was looking, he promptly discovered that before him, stood a dense horde of people, and at this very instant, all these people cast their eyes onto himself. He was startled.
Then, he was enlightened.
He knew that these people were probably the students from Cangzhou University and the high school affiliated with Cangzhou University.
Seeing Lin Shiru's arrival, a male teacher who seemed to be in his forties by appearance immediately came with a few people to greet her.
"You're here, Miss Lin."
