Su Chen nodded understandingly, "I know, so I won’t underestimate anyone."
"Hmm, but bear in mind that the Grand Tournant permits the use of any weapons and spiritual objects. In fact, if you possess a strong talent for forbidden techniques, you can even bring spirit beast companions to the field."
"Spirit beast companions?"
This truly surprised Su Chen. He was puzzled and asked, "Isn’t it said that only after the Beast Soul can one ta spirit beast companions? How is it..."
"That’s not actually the case."
Phoenix shook her head and patiently explained, "Just like the release of skills, as long as you have a deep understanding of cultivation techniques and are skilled enough in controlling your qi, even before becoming a Beast Venerable, you can use the beast’s qi energy within your body to form external qi skill attacks. However, this type of attack differs from the one that harnesses the power of heaven and earth. The spirit beast companion can not only be contracted after the Beast Soul but, even before that, as long as you possess a strong Beast Cultivator strength, combined with powerful forbidden technique talent and so special ans, you can still wield it for your own use. However, a spirit beast obtained this way has no freedom. It’s like a walking corpse, only able to be controlled by the forbidden technique on its body to launch auxiliary attacks for you again and again."
"Moreover, once the power of the forbidden technique is unraveled externally, the spirit beast will exact extre vengeance on the humans who imposed the forbidden technique on them."
At this point, a flash of fear crossed Phoenix’s eyes.
Su Chen suddenly realized, nodding repeatedly, "Have there been cases in previous Grand Tournants where participants brought spirit beasts onto the field?"
Phoenix nodded helplessly, looking more worried, "That’s precisely my concern, not only have there been cases, but it happened many tis. The most terrifying part is that so people have both spirit beast companions and powerful weapon spiritual objects, making them fearless even when facing opponents several stars higher than themselves. Like Nalan Kang, don’t think he appeared so defeated under your hands; he wasn’t so pitiful in the Grand Tournant. Although he didn’t rely on any external force when he killed my brother, when advancing to the top three, he used a low-grade spiritual treasure and a pearl-like spiritual object called ’Thunder of the Tibetan King’! Ultimately, with the help of this Thunder of the Tibetan King, he smashed a four-star Beast Master to death!"
Su Chen’s expression suddenly changed.
After a year, Nalan Kang was still not yet a four-star Beast Master, but a year ago, he must have been weaker, yet he still managed to defeat opponents whose Beast Cultivator strength far surpassed his own, relying solely on terrifying external assistance. It seems this disproportionately fair competition is quite unfavorable to .
However, thinking of the Profound Water power and Fla power within his body, that anxious mind gradually cald down.
What am I worried about? In the Forest of Death, I once repelled dark power Beast King-level opponents, Renwang. Should I fear these immature opponents? Completely needless worry.
Phoenix watched his complexion change several tis in an instant and shook her head, smiling to comfort him: "Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. According to the scenarios from previous Grand Tournants, the strongest champion was a twenty-four-year-old two-star Beast Venerable with a very formidable Beast Cultivator talent, and even if he boosted his strength several stars with a low-grade spiritual treasure he used, it wouldn’t be enough to defeat you."
"Why?"
Su Chen feigned ignorance.
"Because you have both the power of Profound Water and Fla within you, hehe, even if because of their identity, you cannot easily kill them, you still have more than enough power to protect yourself."
Phoenix said with a cheerful grin.
Su Chen laughed wryly, "You’re so confident in , but what if my opponent is of extrely high standing, um, like the Imperial Prince, and I can’t use the Profound Water and Fla powers to kill him?"
Phoenix chuckled lightly, carefree, "Then just admit defeat; at worst, we won’t be first, but second. Second place in the Grand Tournant isn’t such a bad result!"
So she had it all planned out.
"Haha, you had it planned in advance, no wonder you’re so fearless."
Su Chen said aningfully.
Phoenix gave a light chuckle, walked ahead, turned and said to Su Chen, "Of course, not only did I plan these things, but I have planned many more things about us!"
"Oh? What things?"
Su Chen asked, puzzled.
Unexpectedly, Phoenix suddenly stepped forward. In his suddenly wide eyes, she held his face, and a deep kiss fell on his lips, lasting longer than any combined previous kisses, so forceful that their lips and teeth intertwined.
Under Su Chen’s stunned gaze, Phoenix let go, her face slightly flushed, and said while walking, "Does this count as matters about our future, hee hee..."
Su Chen dumbly watched Phoenix’s happy receding figure, unable to snap out of it for a long ti. When he ca to, Phoenix was already gone. He raised his hand, gently touched the lips still warm, and once again smiled foolishly with happiness.
In Muni City, within the tall palace walls.
A straight and upright figure gazed at the deep blue sky, silent for a long ti. Through ti and space, he seed to see the face of the young boy from that day, fresh and refined. The words of Tianhui echoed in his mind, lingering incessantly.
"After thirteen years, we et again, but it’s in the Forest of Death, where he has already beco a four-star Beast Master with both Profound Water and Fla’s incredible powers..."
"Fla..."
The silhouette murmured to himself, appearing bewildered.
He wavered between Tianhui and Fla, wavering. He was Wusentan, the Referee Chief of the White Tiger Judgnt Institute.
"Teacher, I’ve brought Imperial Brother over!"
A voice with a hint of excitent rang out, and Wusentan turned to see the girl who appeared right in the Nanding Auction House, the Empire Princess, Ginny.
Walking alongside Ginny was a tall, stately young man, handso in appearance. He wore a noble royal robe trailing to his heels, walked with vigorous steps, and had an imposing aura, making people feel timid at the sight. Especially with that commanding deanor that inspired awe even among those as proud as Ginny, no one dared act insolently.
The young man walked to Wusentan, bowed slightly, and said, "Teacher, what matter did you wish to discuss with ?"
Wusentan gave Ginny a careless glance, and she imdiately deflated like a punctured balloon, murmuring, "Alright then, I’ll leave, won’t eavesdrop on you discussing big matters."
Saying this, she reluctantly stepped away. Only then did Wusentan gaze at the young man, his voice low and steady, "Your Highness, how confident are you in winning the championship at this Grand Tournant?"
The young man was none other than Jin Zhenhuan, the Eldest Prince of the Golden Wind Empire. Hearing Wusentan’s question, he gave a faint smile, his brow expressing a self-confidence that dared not be challenged. While such an expression might earn disdain on soone else, on Jin Zhenhuan, no one dared doubt it—not because of his identity, but because he truly had the strength.
"Rest assured, Teacher, just yesterday, I crossed that threshold. For this Grand Tournant, I am certain of victory."
At these words, Wusentan’s eyes slightly narrowed, and a rare smile graced his strict mouth, nodding approvingly, "Very well, you are indeed worthy of being my first disciple, Wusentan. However..."
"Hmm?"
"There is a young boy from the East also participating in this Grand Tournant. In terms of Beast Cultivator strength, he might not surpass you, but he possesses the terrifying powers of both Fla and Profound Water within."
Wusentan’s tone was low.
Jin Zhenhuan’s expression changed abruptly, yet such shocking news did not elicit any sound from him, clearly showcasing his strong ntal capacity. After slightly adjusting his emotions, his face beca solemn, saying, "My sister ntioned him to , but she only said the boy is very young and has received recognition from Lord Tianhui and Dolmont."
Wusentan nodded, with a tone sowhat indescribable. If anyone could fathom his mind, they would know it was jealousy.
"At such a young age to have such terrifying accomplishnts, let him grow for another decade, and he might just beco unbeatable among the younger generation."
Wusentan said with worry, an expression Jin Zhenhuan had never seen before.
"Then what does Teacher intend..."
Jin Zhenhuan sought to understand Wusentan’s intentions. Even knowing Su Chen’s limitless potential, he couldn’t grasp how this concerned the Judgnt Institute’s Referee Chief.
"We must seize the opportunity of this Grand Tournant to nip his talent in the bud."
