Before long, Ye Feng finished examining the previous four Imperial Beasts and arrived in front of the fifth one, the Earth Ape King.
He was not sure if it was an illusion, but he seemed to sense a trace of wild and untamed spirit from the Earth Ape King before him.

"Damn it!"
At this moment, Ye Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the intense shock in his heart.
What had he seen? This five-star Earth Ape King possessed three ultimate evolutionary paths, each stronger than the one before. Didn't you see the endless question marks representing its potential?
Ye Feng didn't think it was because his talent couldn't see through it. Rather he felt it should be because his cultivation level was too low to fully utilise his talents.
But even so, he knew that compared to the other four Imperial Beasts, the Earth Ape King was like the blazing sun above the limitless desert; one was in the sky and one on the ground.
There was simply no comparison!!
If he still didn't know which Imperial Beast to make a contract with after seeing this, he might as well throw his awakened talent away!
"City Lord, I've decided which Imperial Beast I want to form a contract with!" said Ye Feng to Zhou Wenlong.
"Oh? Which one? The Qinglin Python or the Flame Lion King?"
Zhou Wenlong's eyes lit up, everyone present was roused, their gaze focused on Ye Feng.
"Eh..."
Ye Feng didn't expect Zhou Wenlong to ask such a question and paused for a moment.
Seeing Ye Feng's hesitating expression for a moment, Zhou Wenlong frowned, "Choosing the Heavy Crocodile Xuan Turtle or Gale Sky Wolf, although not as strong as the first two, it's important to choose what suits oneself."
Zhou Wenlong's words were met with nods of agreement from the senior personnel of Jiang City and Gao Wenwu, believing it wasn't necessarily the Beast with the highest potential that was the strongest.
For instance, at the same cultivation level, one Beast Tamer has a seven-star Imperial Beast while another has a six-star one.
On the surface, it seemed easy to discern who was stronger.
But in reality, the Beast Tamer with the seven-star Imperial Beast, whose Beast isn't a good match, might not perform as well as the other Beast Tamer.
"City Lord, I've chosen this Earth Ape King!"
Ye Feng did not continue Zhou Wenlong's idea, but instead pointed at the Earth Ape King who was quietly waiting at the side!
"What?!!"
"WHAT?!!!"
For a moment, every strong individual in the meeting room looked at Ye Feng in shock, while Zhou Wenlong's face flashed a trace of anger.
He even took out the two seven-star Imperial Beasts he had prepared for Ye Feng, almost bankrupting himself in the process.
But Ye Feng ended up picking a five-star Imperial Beast instead, causing Zhou Wenlong's attitude towards Ye Feng to suddenly turn cold.
However, he quickly suppressed his anger, looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Why? Give me a reason?"
Zhou Wenlong didn't think Ye Feng was an ignorant young man; in fact, he saw him as an extremely bright individual.
But this person, whom Zhou Wenlong deemed clever, made a choice at this moment that left everyone puzzled.
"Intuition!" Ye Feng pointed towards his head.
"Since I awakened my talent, my intuition has also strengthened. I can feel that I'm most compatible with the Earth Ape King, so I chose him!"
Ye Feng did not reveal his talent attribute, as generally, in this era, Beast Tamers would not disclose their talent attributes to prevent being targeted by their enemies.
Some Beast Tamers even kept their talents hidden from their closest friends and relatives.
Zhou Wenlong gave Ye Feng a deep look. He was skeptical about whether Ye Feng was telling the truth. However, seeing Ye Feng's unwavering determination, he had no reason to probe further, so he simply nodded in approval.
"Since you've chosen this way, I hope you won't regret it!"
"I can't blame you entirely for this choice. After all, with my capabilities, I can only offer two seven-star Imperial Beasts. If given a choice, I would really like to provide five of them for you."
"Unfortunately, if you were born in a base city or main city, you would definitely have eight-star or even nine-star Imperial Beasts to choose from!"
Zhou Wenlong felt regretful, because this was a God-tier Imperial Beast Tamer who emerged from their Jiang City, and he was unable to provide the best support for him.
"City Lord, the help you've given me is already more than enough. As you've said, the best Imperial Beast companion for a Beast Tamer is one that's most suitable. This is my choice."
Ye Feng couldn't tell everyone present that his talent allowed him to see the ultimate evolutionary paths, could he?
If he dared to say it out loud, by tomorrow, the higher-ups of the Human Race would undoubtedly send someone to capture him and lock him up somewhere to study the ultimate evolution of Imperial Beasts daily.
"Alright, in that case, Ye Feng, you can complete the contract here. If anything unexpected happens, we can intervene in time!"
Zhou Wenlong accepted it graciously, respectful of Ye Feng's choice, and allowed him to prepare the contract.
