Chapter 528: 190
“Enter the Spirit Ruins Pond and absorb the power of the pond on your own for half a day.” The Third Servant led the twelve prodigies who had qualified for entry to the Battle of the Heaven’s Favorites to the entrance of the valley, chuckled, “After half a day, I’ll co to fetch you.”
All nodded in agreent and strode toward the interior of the valley together.
They had already seen an overview of this not-so-large valley from high above during the descent, so naturally, they did not need anyone to show them the way now.
As they walked into the valley, mists began to erge, wafting past their faces with a slight fragrance.
Soon, they reached the Spirit Ruins Pond.
Gazing at the silvery white light radiating from the waters of the pond, Lin Su couldn’t help but step forward and scoop up a handful with his hand.
The water was cool to the touch and invigorated Lin Su’s spirit; flecks of silvery white light illuminated his face, making it look dreamlike and surreal.
With a slight movent in his heart, a light blue glow flickered beneath Lin Su’s feet, and he summoned Qiuqiu and Ghost.
Upon their arrival, the two little creatures turned their attention to the Spirit Ruins Pond, their eyes shining with eagerness.
“w! (｡òωó｡)” (So this is the Spirit Ruins Pond!)
Qiuqiu’s big eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“Jee? (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (Can we go in now?)
Ghost, on the other hand, rubbed its paws, its face full of eagerness to try.
It couldn’t wait to jump right in.
Seeing how his pets were behaving, Lin Su couldn’t help but laugh.
Just as he was about to allow Qiuqiu and Ghost to enter the Spirit Ruins Pond to absorb its power, a sowhat deep voice ca from behind him.
“Before entering the Spirit Ruins Pond, let’s set the rules first!”
Lin Su had a thought, asked his pets to wait for a mont, then turned to look at the person who had spoken.
It was Zhang Yong, the elder of the Zhang Family twins.
Zhang Yong had his arms crossed and gave Yan Susen a look then scoffed, “We martial artists naturally don’t need to ntion it, each can only absorb one portion, absorbing more is impossible. But Beast Tars and their pets can both absorb, taking multiple portions per person is unfair, don’t you think we should discuss this?”
“According to the rules of previous years, each Beast Tar absorbs two portions,” Yan Susen’s eyes flashed coldly, “Zhang Yong, are you saying you don’t know these rules?”
“Of course I know them,” Zhang Yong’s brother, Zhang Yi, chuckled, “but this year is a bit different, so naturally, the rules must change.”
“How is it different?” Yan Susen’s brow wrinkled slightly, sensing so targeted intent.
“In previous years, the winners of the Beast Tar slots were from the fifth-order Beast Taming Space, with three pets, plus themselves, they could absorb four portions altogether, so the rule was for Beast Tars to absorb two portions as a compromise between us and them.”
Zhang Yi paused, then looked at Yan Susen, “But Prince, you have a fourth-order Beast Taming Space with only two pets; one less pet, yet you still want to take up two portions, isn’t that a bit excessive?”
“What?!” Yan Susen was almost laughingly infuriated by Zhang Yi’s words, “I earned my opportunity fair and square by defeating top-tier Beast Tars from the fifth-order Beast Taming Space. What has that got to do with you?”
He seed to understand sothing, turned his head to look at Yan Hongyu, who was silent nearby, and his mouth curled into a cold smile, “Using this thod to suppress ?”
“Prince has misunderstood; this has nothing to do with the eldest prince. It’s just our own idea,” Zhang Yong said with a cold laugh.
“Your own idea?” Yan Susen’s eyes grew colder.
He didn’t believe a single word from them.
“Fine then!” Yan Susen sneered, “In that case, let’s settle it the hard way. Beat , and whatever you say goes.”
“Let’s not,” Zhang Yong shook his head, “Prince’s pets are too strong; we are no match for them at the mont. But shouldn’t you consider how to proceed after entering the battlefield of the Heaven’s Favorites? We martial artists advance much faster than Beast Tars.”
“We all co from the sa nation and should aid and support each other,” Zhang Yi sighed softly, “but if you, Prince, act so excessively, it’s difficult for us, the Zhang brothers, to stand by. If we bear this grudge, how can we coexist peacefully with you in the future?”
“Ha…” Yan Susen let out a cold laugh, “I, Yan Susen, don’t need your ‘peaceful coexistence,’ Zhang brothers.”
Although he spoke defiantly, Yan Susen’s expression beca sowhat solemn at that mont.
He knew that today’s matter was unlikely to end well.
The Zhang brothers were rely tools used by his ambitious elder brother to suppress him.
And indeed, he was sowhat wary.
His pets were already of the emperor-class species, and their room for improvent was very limited, aside from advancing to the fifth-order Beast Taming Space and forming a pact with one more pet; there was almost no room to increase his strength.
Reaching the sixth-order Beast Taming Space on the battlefield of the Heaven’s Favorites?
Wishful thinking.
So, his strength progression would soon hit an extrely slow phase, especially after entering the Nayuan Realm where martial artists usually experience the fastest increase in strength.
By the ti the competition between nations begins after the battlefield of the Heaven’s Favorites closes, his strength will inevitably lag far behind that of the martial artists. At that point, the situation will be quite dire.
“Tsk… Have you forgotten about ?”
A voice brought Yan Susen back to his senses swiftly, and he sharply turned his head to Lin Su, “Brother Lin!”
