Su Chen nodded in understanding, "I know, so I won’t underestimate anyone."
"Mm, but there’s sothing else you need to be aware of. The tournant allows the use of any weapons and spiritual objects. In fact, if you possess strong sealing talents, even your spiritual beast companions can be brought into the arena."
"Spiritual beast companions?"
This made Su Chen extrely surprised. He queried, "Isn’t it said that only after acquiring a beast soul can one ta spiritual beast companions? How..."
"That’s not the case."
Phoenix shook her head and patiently explained, "Just like external skill releases, as long as you have a thorough understanding of your cultivation technique and are skillfully adept at controlling vitality, you can still use the beast’s Qi energy within your body to form an external vitality skill attack before becoming a Beast Venerable. This attack, however, differs from those that draw upon the forces of heaven and earth. As for spiritual beast companions, although these can be contracted after acquiring a beast soul, if you possess significant beast cultivation strength, along with powerful sealing talents and so special thods, you can also utilize them before a beast soul. But such spiritual beasts have no freedom whatsoever, akin to a living corpse, controlled by the sealing power to perform support attacks repeatedly for you."
"Furthermore, once the power of the seal is broken by external forces, the spiritual beast will launch a frenzied revenge against the human who imposed the seal."
At this point, a trace of fear flickered in Phoenix’s eyes.
Su Chen suddenly understood, nodded repeatedly, "Has there been any case in past tournants where participants brought spiritual beasts into the arena?"
Phoenix nodded helplessly, the worry on her face growing deeper, "That’s exactly what I’m worried about. Not only has it happened, but it’s occurred many tis. The most frightening part is that so people have both spiritual beast companions and powerful weapon spiritual objects. Even when facing opponents several stars above their level, they are still fearless. Like that Nalan Kang, don’t think he was so embarrassed when he lost to you; in the tournant, he wasn’t like that at all. Although he didn’t use any external force when he killed my brother, during the quarter-finals, he used a low-grade spiritual treasure and a pearl-like spiritual object called ’Thunder of the Tibetan King!’ Finally, it was with the help of this Thunder of the Tibetan King that he blasted a four-star Beast Master to death!"
Su Chen’s face changed dramatically.
A year later, Nalan Kang was still not a Four-star Beast Master. A year ago, he must have been even weaker, yet he still relied on terrifying external aids to defeat opponents with beast cultivation strength far superior to his own. It seems that this kind of tournant, where fairness is so disparate, is quite disadvantageous to .
However, thinking of the Profound Water power and Fla power within him, his panicking heart gradually cald down.
What is there to worry about, in the Forest of Death, I have repelled a Beast King-level dark expert, Renwang. There’s no need to fear these immature opponents. It’s completely unnecessary worry.
Phoenix watched his rapidly changing expression, shook her head again, and smiled reassuringly, "Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. Based on past tournants, the strongest champion was a twenty-four-year-old Two-Star Beast Venerable, whose beast cultivation aptitude was also very powerful. Even if he were to use a low-grade spiritual treasure, raising his strength up several stars, he would still definitely not be your opponent."
"Why?"
Su Chen pretended to be dumbfounded.
"Because you have the power of Profound Water and Flas within you, haha, even if, because of their status, you can’t easily kill them, you have enough strength to protect yourself."
Phoenix smiled warmly.
Su Chen smiled helplessly, "You have so much confidence in . What if the opponent’s status is extrely noble, uh, like an Imperial Prince, and I can’t use the power of Profound Water and Flas to kill him?"
Phoenix chuckled, nonchalantly, "Then simply admit defeat. At worst, we won’t be first, we’ll take second place. Second in the tournant isn’t such a bad result either!"
It turned out she had already planned everything.
"Haha, so you had this all planned out in your mind, no wonder you seed so confident."
Su Chen said aningfully.
Phoenix laughed lightly, walked forward, turned to Su Chen, and said, "Of course, I not only planned these but have planned many, many things concerning us as well!"
"Oh? What kind of things?"
Su Chen asked puzzled.
Unexpectedly, Phoenix suddenly stepped forward, and in his suddenly wide-open eyes, held his face and planted a deep kiss on his lips—this kiss lasted longer than all previous kisses combined, and with such force that the two were ’mouth-to-mouth’.
Under Su Chen’s shocked gaze, Phoenix let go, face slightly flushed, said as she walked away, "Does this count as sothing concerning our future? Hehe..."
Su Chen watched Phoenix’s happy departing figure in a daze, unable to co to his senses for a long ti. When he finally snapped out of it, Phoenix was already gone. He raised his hand, gently touched his still warm lips, and foolishly smiled with happiness once again.
Muni City, within the towering palace walls.
A straight figure gazing at the azure sky, silent for a long ti. Through ti and space, he seed to see the young and refined face of that boy once more. The words of Tianhui resounded in his mind, lingering.
"Thirteen years later, we et again, but this ti in the Forest of Death, and he has already beco a four-star Beast Master and possesses two incredible powers: Profound Water and Flas..."
"Flas..."
The figure muttered to himself, a blank look on his face.
He lingered between Tianhui and Flas, hesitating. He was the referee chief of the White Tiger Judgnt Institute, Wusentan.
"Teacher, I’ve brought the Imperial Brother!"
An excited voice rang out. Wusentan turned to look, seeing the girl who appeared at the Nanding Auction House, the Empire Princess, Ginny.
Walking side by side with Ginny was a tall and handso young man. In a noble robe that reached down to his heels, he walked with vigor and majesty, which was intimidating. Particularly with an aura that commanded respect, even Ginny did not dare act recklessly.
The young man approached Wusentan, bowed slightly, and said, "Teacher, you called , what is it you wish to discuss?"
Wusentan cast a dismissive glance at Ginny, who imdiately deflated like a balloon and muttered, "Fine, I’ll leave, I won’t eavesdrop on your important matters."
With that, she walked away reluctantly. Only then did Wusentan look at the young man, his voice low, "Prince, how confident are you in winning this tournant?"
The young man, Jin Zhenhuan, the Eldest Prince of the Golden Wind Empire, heard Wusentan’s question and smiled indifferently, yet his eyebrows radiated undeniable confidence. If it were anyone else showing such an expression, it might invite disdain. But on Jin Zhenhuan, no one dared doubt it—not because of his status, but because he undeniably had the strength.
"Rest assured, teacher. Just yesterday, I crossed that hurdle; this tournant is in the bag."
At the words, Wusentan’s pupils slightly contracted, with a rare smile lifting the edges of his usually stern mouth, nodding in satisfaction, "Not bad, indeed my first disciple of Wusentan. However..."
"Hmm?"
"There is a young man from the East also participating in this tournant. While his beast cultivation strength might not match yours, he has the terrifying powers of both Flas and Profound Water within him."
Wusentan’s tone was somber.
Jin Zhenhuan’s expression changed, yet such shocking news didn’t elicit any noise from him, illustrating his strong ntal fortitude. Slightly adjusting his mindset, Jin Zhenhuan’s countenance beca stern, "My younger sister ntioned him to ; however, she only said that the young man was very young and had gained the favor of both Lord Tianhui and Dolmont."
Wusentan nodded, with an indescribable emotion in his voice. If anyone could decipher his thoughts, they would know it was jealousy.
"At such a young age, to already have such terrifying accomplishnts, give him another decade or so to grow, and the younger generation might have no match."
Wusentan worried aloud, and it was the first ti Jin Zhenhuan had seen such an expression.
"So what does teacher an..."
Jin Zhenhuan wanted to understand Wusentan’s intentions. Even knowing Su Chen’s limitless prospects, he couldn’t figure out how it concerned the referee chief of a Judgnt Institute.
"We must take the opportunity of this tournant to nip his talent in the bud."
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
