Chapter 154 - A Mysterious s.p.a.ce
"Zhang, thank you so much."
Ye Xuan said to Zhang Jiantong after turning his head.
He looked happy.
If Zhang Jiantong had not mentioned the Big Dream Sleeping Rock to him, he was afraid he would have had to wait longer to contract with a new beast.
And eventually, it probably would be a chance he obtained after having defeated others to get a place to go to the Dragon Horn Planet.
However, in that case, the beast he ended up contracting with would not necessarily be the Big Dream Sleeping Rock.
It could be one of the eight beasts that Zhang Jiantong had introduced him earlier.
Nevertheless, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock was beyond comparison. Those eight beasts were no match for it at all.
The Big Dream Sleeping Rock"s skill was invincible. It could copy others unlimitedly.
"What for?"
Zhang Jiantong looked at Ye Xuan in surprise. "Ye Xuan, you are not gonna tell me you have contracted with this thing successfully, are you?"
He glanced at Ye Xuan and then s.h.i.+fted his glance to the Big Dream Sleeping Rock in the cage. He did not look like he believed it.
How was that possible?
Numerous people had tried, but they all failed to contract this freaking weird beast. However, Ye Xuan came and contracted with it successfully. How long did he take?
He seemed to have achieved it effortlessly.
Boom!
However, when Ye Xuan was smiling and about to say something, as he had contracted with the Big Dream Sleeping Rock successfully, some Spirit Auras suddenly gathered in the air. They formed a swirl, which flowed back into his body later.
Again?
At that sight, Ye Xuan felt very helpless.
He was certainly happy that he had contracted with a new beast.
"What happened?"
In the distance, the young man from Jumu University who had just said goodbye to Ye Xuan wondered when he had sensed the fluctuation of Spirit Auras behind him.
"It is normal."
Seeing the young man from Jumu University surprised, the staff of the Tianshan Base next to him said with a smile, "That weird beast spends most of its time sleeping, but it will also wake up at intervals to devour the Spirit Auras around."
"Got it."
The young man from Jumu University nodded to show he had understood.
However, at the same time, he was also feeling regretful.
Because despite being a Bronze-level beast, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock"s defense was super powerful.
The day before, he even sent a Silver-level beast to attack the Big Dream Sleeping Rock.
He really wanted a beast with such wonderful defense. He was eager to contract with it.
Nevertheless, unfortunately, this turned out to be a beast that no one could contract with successfully.
"What is that?"
At the same time, next to Ye Xuan, Zhang Jiantong was struck dumb.
When the Spirit Auras had started to gather, he immediately thought it was because of something the Big Dream Sleeping Rock had done.
But then he found when the Spirit Auras were falling from the sky, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock was still sleeping, lying on its stomach motionlessly.
And those Spirit Auras all flowed into Ye Xuan"s body in an instant.
"Take it easy, Zhang. It is only a small state breakthrough I have just achieved."
Seeing Zhang Jiantong"s face, Ye Xuan showed a smile.
So he s.h.i.+fted his consciousness and fixed his eyes on the Big Dream Sleeping Rock in the cage. It only took him a second to bring it into his Beast Lair.
By then, he no longer needed to hide some of the Beast Lair"s abilities from others.
Because anyone who knew something about him knew he had a talent for s.p.a.ce beast.
"F.u.c.k!"
Seeing Ye Xuan"s movements.
Seeing the Big Dream Sleeping Rock suddenly disappear after Ye Xuan"s gaze.
Zhang Jiantong swore in a low voice, a reaction too vulgar for people in his position to make.
Unless he had suddenly become dumb.
Otherwise, he certainly had realized Ye Xuan had really successfully contracted with the weird beast that no one could in the past half a year.
"Ye Xuan, how did you achieve it?"
"Yeah, what did you say to that rock when you were communicating with it?"
"How come it suddenly agreed?"
Zhang Jiantong and the staff next to him threw one after another question at Ye Xuan. Even their gazes at Ye Xuan became more enthusiastic.
Seeing those two gazing at him like that, Ye Xuan was suddenly rendered speechless.
What could he tell them? That he had done nothing?
And it was the Big Dream Sleeping Rock who drew his Seed of Beasts into the core of its soul?
He gave it a thought. In the end, he decided to tell a small white lie so that the two would not feel too desperate.
"Zhang, I didn"t do much. I only told it that if it refused to contract with me, I would stay here and keep bothering it every day, that it would never get any good sleep again. And that worked."
That"s it?
Zhang Jiantong and the other man were struck dumb by Ye Xuan"s story.
However, they could not probe him for too many details.
After all, a Beast Tamer"s talent was his biggest privacy.
"Fine."
Zhang Jiantong waved his hand. "Ye Xuan, I still need to send over the Non-disclosure Agreement you just signed, so I"m not gonna hang out with you here. You can go back to your dormitory by yourself later. But don"t walk around in the base. Keep that in mind."
This was truly a blow for him.
Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou University?
By then, he had memorized this name by heart.
After all, he was working in the Tianshan Base.
He was not like that young man from Jumu University, who was just a university student.
So, he had never heard about Ye Xuan before.
One thing suddenly occurred to Zhang Jiantong. "I need to report this to Mr. w.a.n.g."
So, he picked up his pace immediately.
After Zhang Jiantong had left, Ye Xuan did not linger there, either. He bid farewell to that staff. Then, following the way he had come, he walked back to his dormitory.
"What kind of freak is that? Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou University?"
That staff remained in shock even when Ye Xuan had left.
He knew Ye Xuan would get famous in their base when the news got about.
After all, that weird beast had been kept here for such a long time, and no one had been able to contract with it. Everyone knew this in the Tianshan Base.
"That guy..."
At the same time, when Ye Xuan had returned to his dormitory, he sent a wisp of his consciousness into the newly built Beast Lair that belonged to the Big Dream Sleeping Rock.
When that wisp of consciousness had entered there, he instantly found one thing.
The newly built Beast Lair was extremely mysterious.
There were countless phantoms in here.
Among these phantoms, some clouds kept changing their shape. There were giant beasts that never stopped roaring and destructive demonic hand palms falling from the sky. There were also high-rises and flows of traffic.
These phantoms kept moving and changing in the Big Dream Sleeping Rock"s s.p.a.ce.
And the Big Dream Sleeping Rock was lying at the center of this small world. In its sleep, it would take some mysterious and exotic phantoms in this world into its body every time it breathed.
Moreover, every time its body took these phantoms in, Ye Xuan could sense the slight rise of its energy.
"This guy is freaking talented."
"And this Beast Lair was literally built for it."
Ye Xuan thought to himself.
He even felt if this process went on, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock, which was already on the peak Bronze level, a state not far away from the Silver level, would realize a breakthrough and achieve the Silver level very soon.
And if it wanted to achieve that, it might take it only twenty-odd days.
"When this guy achieves the Silver level, what will be the maximum combat power it could exert be like?"
"Would it be peak Silver or Gold?"
That uncertainly stirred in Ye Xuan. He instantly felt motivated and expectant.
By then, the Big Dream Sleeping Rock had become a trump card of his. That was beyond doubt.
"Well, sleep tight. Unless there is a fight, you can keep sleeping here."
Ye Xuan"s eyes were bright with curiosity.
His goal of this trip to the Tianshan Base had already been achieved.
And it was achieved in a totally unexpected manner.
He had never expected to contract with a new beast in the Tianshan Base in such an effortless way.
And he was really very satisfied with the new beast"s abilities.
...
"Lin s.h.i.+ru, that girl is working me. She is really, really bold."
In w.a.n.g Tianshan"s office, looking at Ren Ya opposite him, w.a.n.g Tianshan showed a sour smile. "I can refuse to give a face to that girl, but I can"t reject you, Madam Ren."
"Well, I know Ye Xuan"s talent. In the young generation, he is exceptionally talented indeed. He is a student worth cultivating."
"Well, such being the case, you can count on me. I will try my best to find a five-star beast on the peak Bronze level these days for him to contract with."
"But you must be clear about one thing. Whether he can contract with it successfully, he will have to take part in the selection. Only when he pa.s.ses the selection will I send him to the Dragon Horn Planet."
"Yeah, I know."
Ren Ya said after a nod, "Thank you, brother."
...
"Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou University? He won"t be qualified."
Not long after Ren Ya had left in the King of Tianshan"s office, an older man walked in with a youngster.
In the office, the older man said, shaking his head, after hearing the King of Tianshan mention Ye Xuan"s name in their chitchat.
"I know that Ye Xuan. He is very talented indeed. The thing is, no matter how talented he is, he only achieved the Bronze level not long ago."
"It"s absurd to send a Beast Tamer who has just achieved the Bronze level to the Dragon Horn Planet and compete against the Silver Horn on behalf of the Xia. Jiangzhou University is ridiculous."
"After all, in a compet.i.tion like this, all of the Beast Tamers, each party, sends are on the verge of achieving the Silver level."
"And these Beast Tamers all have Silver-level beasts with them. However, that Ye Xuan absolutely wouldn"t have beasts on this level."
The King of Tianshan nodded to agree with the older man.
He did not think highly of Ye Xuan, either.
Even though he would find a beast on the peak Bronze level for Ye Xuan to contract with these days, that would not change anything.
A beast on the peak Bronze level really could not change much.
Besides, Ye Xuan had just achieved the Bronze level. Would he really be able to contract with a beast on the Bronze level?
Knock. Knock.
At this moment, there were two knocks on his door.
"Come in."
He shouted.
Then Zhang Jiantong pushed the door of his office open and walked in.
