"So..."
"What’s the word from the Youxiong Family and the authorities now?"
Faced with the revival of such an ancient creature, Lu Ran didn’t know what changes its awakening would bring to the beast training domain in Xia Country.
Manager Ying telling him this intelligence, he surely didn’t just want to feed him the gossip, right?
"I have no idea either." Manager Ying shrugged.
"I only know that the Iron-Eating Beast still has vitality; it has been awake for several days now."
"But the news only got out today."
"The Youxiong Family claims they’ve already communicated with the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast."
"They say the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast is willing to serve as Xia Country’s Guardian God."
"Also, if anyone is interested in the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian, they can visit the Guardian in person tomorrow."
"Eh?"
Lu Ran was startled, saying, "Why does this strategy look so familiar."
This damn thing, isn’t this what he played at the Necro Sect?
Display a powerful identity to have others bring you gifts!
The Youxiong Family really knows how to play the ga!
With the na of an ancient creature, they could definitely attract many powers from Xia Country to bring gifts for a visit... good move!
"Are you planning to check it out?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yeah."
"That’s actually why I’m here, to ask if you want to join ," Manager Ying said:
"As a creature that survived from ancient tis, I want to chat with that Iron-Eating Beast."
"Who knows, maybe I’ll get so valuable intelligence."
"If you’re busy, I’ll just go on my own."
"Let’s go," Lu Ran said. "Why not go?"
"After all, Mr. Husky and Dark Crow aren’t in a hurry to evolve."
"Are we setting off tomorrow morning too?"
Lu Ran was now more curious about how much the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast had stashed away, whether it had any ancient treasures.
If the Ancient Iron-Eating Beast had a substantial fortune, Lu Ran really hoped it would be interested in "propagating its lineage"; that way, he could exchange a Blood Crystal for its resources.
"No, there will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow."
"With our special status, we should at least have so privileges!"
"We’re setting off now!"
"As far as I know, many people have already arrived there."
Lu Ran pondered; he had wanted to prepare so gifts, but never mind.
...
Szechuan.
Chengdu.
Although the Youxiong Family has already spread its branches across the country, with the strongest branch even establishing the substantial enterprise, Youxiong Group, that spans across Denver and the Snowfield Federation,
every year on fixed holidays, mbers of the Youxiong Family still return to Chengdu to pay homage to their ancestors.
Youxiong Ancient Town.
On the street, under a ginkgo tree, Lu Ran, wearing a Husky sleeve, a duckbill cap, and black sunglasses, arrived here with Manager Ying through teleportation.
After teleporting, they ca to the front of the sealed ancient mansion.
"See, the gate is closed." Lu Ran said.
Manager Ying: "Are you shaking them up, or am I?"
Lu Ran, feeling resigned, said, "I’ll do it."
A mont later.
The call connected.
Lu Ran called Youxiong Anlin, the only mber of the Youxiong Family he knew.
"Lu Ran?" On the other end ca the surprised voice of Youxiong Anlin.
The two were actually not very familiar.
Their relationship was limited to eting during the freshn competition, and then Youxiong Anlin imdiately conceding defeat.
And... later Youxiong Anlin invited Lu Ran to join him in conquering the Legendary Secret Realm, an invitation Lu Ran firmly rejected.
Even though he was bullied by Lu Ran, Youxiong Anlin proved to be spirited, partnering with others to conquer the Legendary Secret Realm afterwards.
"Youxiong, are you at your family’s ancestral town?"
Youxiong Anlin was shocked, saying, "Don’t tell you’ve co over too."
"Mhm, Manager Ying from the Neko Maid Cafe and I just happen to pass by. We heard about the situation here and ca to have a look. Is it convenient for you to receive us?"
"Damn." Youxiong Anlin was taken aback and said, "Sure... no problem, I’ll be right there."
"Why didn’t you say sothing before you ca!"
Youxiong Anlin sighed.
There’s a gap even between guests and guests.
For people of Lu Ran’s and Manager Ying’s caliber, it wouldn’t be excessive for the current head of the Youxiong Family to personally receive them.
Lu Ran, the first on Blue Star to raise an Overlord, the strongest of the fourth generation, who breezed through the Legendary Secret Realm as if it was nothing, hailed by the dia as soone who would rival the First Generation within a year.
Manager Ying was the first ancient creature to form friendly ties with Xia Country, and she’s suspected to be the first ancient creature to awaken. Moreover, she is the true controller of the second-largest intelligence organization in Xia Country and is very well-connected with every First Generation mber.
These two individuals were heavyweights.
Upon receiving the news, Youxiong Anlin imdiately ca out to greet them personally,
"Lu Ran, Manager Ying, co, co, co, I’ll take you to the main hall."
Youxiong Anlin ca out with a wry smile and said, "Actually, there are a few others like you who also brought up... uh."
"Uh, that outfit." When Youxiong Anlin ca out, he saw Lu Ran’s attire and was slightly taken aback.
Black shorts, a Husky sleeve, sunglasses, a duckbill cap—no matter how trendy the look, it just didn’t seem to fit with that generation-dominating Passerby A.
If he hadn’t received the call, he definitely wouldn’t have linked this person in front of him with Lu Ran Passerby A.
Well... in a way, it was indeed a very good camouflage.
"Comfort is its winning factor," Lu Ran said.
Manager Ying then turned her gaze to Youxiong Anlin.
"You little rascal..."
"Your strength has beco quite good."
"Ah ha, not bad, not bad," Youxiong Anlin glanced nonchalantly towards Lu Ran.
He had grown quite a bit more confident.
Despite Lu Ran having raised an Overlord Dragon, Youxiong Anlin felt that his own future was promising.
All because of that Fossil-level Guardian God!
All these juniors, including himself, had gained much from this Fossil-level Guardian God, significantly increasing their strength—as if they had a powerful creature helping them cheat.
Youxiong Anlin felt that if Lu Ran hadn’t evolved an Overlord Dragon, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for him at this point.
But alas, that beast Lu Ran actually had a Pet Beast of the Overlord Clan.
However, Youxiong Anlin believed that with the help of the Guardian God, his Light and Dark Panda would eventually evolve into the Overlord Clan as well.
Youxiong Anlin was surprised that Manager Ying could see the change in his strength... Indeed, worthy of being an ancient creature.
"Brother Youxiong~ What’s the situation with that Iron-Eating Beast Guardian?"
"You just ntioned, there are others who also arrived early?"
Under the guidance of Youxiong Anlin, Lu Ran and the others entered the vast ancient house. Lu Ran was more concerned about the origins and background of that Iron-Eating Beast Guardian than the changes in Youxiong Anlin’s strength.
"I’m not very clear myself, the Guardian God won’t say."
"But your timing is just perfect, several First Generation bigwigs have also arrived and my little sister has already gone to wake the Guardian God."
"When you et the Guardian God in person, you’ll know," Youxiong Anlin said mysteriously, "You’re definitely going to be very surprised..."
Lu Ran and Manager Ying exchanged glances, and in no ti, they were led by Youxiong Anlin to the main hall.
In the antique main hall, where a few scattered tables were already being occupied by distinguished guests, Youxiong Jiyuan, Youxiong Anlin’s uncle and the current President of the Fossil Guild, was enthusiastically entertaining them.
As more special guests were led into the hall, all eyes turned in their direction. After a nod of recognition at the sight of Manager Ying, their expressions changed when they saw the fully-equipped Lu Ran.
"Lu Ran?" The Pig God, who was cracking sunflower seeds at a table, spoke up with surprise upon seeing Lu Ran.
"Manager Ying brought you along too, huh," Shi Zhen expressed his surprise.
"Yo, Lu Ran," said Doctor Gu, who was chatting with a petite girl at another table, greeting Lu Ran with a smile.
"Wow, finally getting to see the man himself," said a gray-haired young man and a long-faced young man in surprise upon seeing Lu Ran.
Lu Ran: "..."
Dang, all six First Generation bigwigs!
The League’s twelve branches, and half of them were gathered here.
It seed that the information about the Youxiong Family’s Totem Guardian God had attracted significant attention from the League.
"Good day, bigwigs..." Lu Ran gave an awkward smile, feeling out of place.
But Manager Ying seed quite at ease, walking towards Gu Qingyi’s direction.
"Professor Lu."
Seeing Lu Ran, President Youxiong also imdiately ca over, smiling and saying, "Welco, welco."
"I’ve been wanting to visit you for a long ti, Professor Lu, and today you’ve co to Youxiong Ancient Town. You must stay for a few more days so I can properly show you around," he said.
"Oh, no need to be so formal," Lu Ran smiled, "President Youxiong, don’t worry about ..."
Making polite conversation, Lu Ran took a seat opposite Zhu Kaixin and Principal Shi Zhen.
"You’re here too," Zhu Kaixin cheerfully said, "I knew it, for an event like this, Manager Ying would definitely not be missing!"
"And I knew that once you heard the news, your noses would be just as sharp as a dog’s, coming over on the sa day," Manager Ying hopped onto her seat, her gaze derisive as she looked at them.
The Superpower Expert Lin Nian warned Manager Ying, "Don’t bring gates, alright, little kitty."
"Yes, yes, yes," Manager Ying raised her paw and surrendered, seemingly very afraid of this individual.
"Everyone, please wait a bit longer. The Iron-Eating Beast Guardian loves to sleep and is hard to wake up," President Youxiong and Youxiong Anlin said to the prematurely arriving bigwigs, sowhat helplessly.
They knew that once the news spread, official figures would co over first, but they had not anticipated such an esteed lineup.
Six of the twelve branches, an ancient creature, the strongest of the fourth generation... what a crowd.
This lineup was powerful enough to overthrow a small country.
"Youxiong Jiyuan, can you reveal so information about this Iron-Eating Beast Guardian beforehand?" asked the youngest of the twelve branches, the gray-haired young man:
"You spread the news without saying anything, that’s not very fair."
"Mainly because we ourselves don’t know much," President Youxiong replied with a chuckle.
At that mont, just as the others were about to continue the conversation, everyone felt an imnse evil beast aura approaching.
The expressions of the First Generation mbers shifted as they looked towards the entrance. Soon, a bipedal Iron-Eating Beast, also known as a panda or bamboo bear, standing over three ters tall and holding a bamboo leaf in its mouth, appeared alongside a girl barely 1.5 ters tall, walking slowly in.
"Gold Grass Dual System, High-Level Overlord, Level 68..." Seeing this panda, the group was slightly stunned. It was even higher level than the Fishman King?
