Chapter 198 - A Giant Red Bird
"Several Beast Tamers on the Challenger level suppressed s.h.i.+wan Bujin Mountain and reached an agreement with the monsters on the Challenger level there?"
Ye Xuan was shocked.
He did not expect w.a.n.g Tianshan would have created such a big disturbance.
However, it made sense to him in such circ.u.mstances since Tang Mengxia and others had also come here.
Because if w.a.n.g Tianshan let him go to Bujin Mountain alone after having created such a big disturbance, that would be a big waste of the big effort he had made.
"Ye Xuan, let me introduce someone to you."
At this moment, Lin s.h.i.+ru came up to Ye Xuan with the girl wearing Jiangzhou University"s uniform, whom he found a little familiar earlier, after having told him roughly how the agreement had been reached.
"This is Ren Xue, a relative of Ms. Ren. I guess you have heard about her name, haven"t you?"
"Nice to meet you, Ren Xue."
It dawned on Ye Xuan.
Why he had found her familiar.
"Ye Xuan, I just came back from a Secret Realm, and the whole Jiangzhou University is talking about you. I was wondering whether you were enjoying an undeserved reputation, but after the fight between you and Ye Tiange, I realized geniuses such as you do exist in this world."
Ren Xue said with a smile. She was quite talkative.
However, Ye Xuan somehow felt it would be difficult for him to get close to her. He felt there was something like a wall between them.
Moreover, the way she looked at Ye Xuan was quite aggressive. He vaguely felt a little threatened.
"Thank you, Ren Xue."
Ye Xuan broke into a smile.
He did not say anything more to her.
Ren Xue"s gaze made him somehow uncomfortable. As a result, he did not feel free to speak.
"Ye Xuan."
Tang Mengxia walked over with Huo Tong. She had been observing for a while, but Lin s.h.i.+ru was always standing by Ye Xuan, so she came over anyway. "Dude, how great you are. We bid farewell only not long ago, but you accomplished such a big thing in such a short time."
She was apparently a little excited.
It was a pleasant surprise for her that she saw Ye Xuan again so soon.
"Mengxia, it is not that I am great. It is that guy. He really went too far."
Ye Xuan replied to her.
However, to his surprise, Lin s.h.i.+ru also joined their conversation. She did not put on airs at all. On the contrary, it seemed natural for her to talk to these young people.
In comparison, Ren Xue had been very silent since Tang Mengxia and Huo Tong had come over.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Golden-Winged Verdant Roc flew across the sky at high speed.
It left one after another mountain behind.
On their way, monsters that saw the Golden-Winged Verdant Roc from far away would try to avoid it instead of approaching it.
Their destination this time was in a rather far place.
Even though the Golden-Winged Verdant Roc was fast, it took them more than half an hour to reach the destination.
"Is this s.h.i.+wan Bujin Mountain?"
In Ye Xuan"s eyes, there was a gleam when he looked into the distance from the back of the Golden-Winged Verdant Roc. What he saw were endless red mountain ranges.
Even the air over those mountains seemed to be tinged with red.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Golden-Winged Verdant Roc swooped down at this moment to land somewhere in front of s.h.i.+wan Bujin Mountain with Ye Xuan and others.
As the Golden-Winged Verdant Roc swooped down, Ye Xuan and other people on its back saw those who were waiting in front of s.h.i.+wan Bujin Mountain.
Ye Xuan knew some of them.
Those he knew were exactly those who went to the Dragon Horn Planet with him last time. They were from different universities.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Golden-Winged Verdant Roc flapped its wings when Ye Xuan recognized them. Then it landed dozens of feet away from those people.
Following w.a.n.g Tianshan, Ye Xuan and others flew up to them.
"w.a.n.g, how slow you are today."
An older man greeted w.a.n.g Tianshan after seeing him.
"Nonsense. I came here from far away. Not like you."
w.a.n.g Tianshan replied.
That older man was not angry or anything.
He threw a glance at Ye Xuan, who was not far away from w.a.n.g Tianshan, after having greeted the latter.
"Mr. Zhang."
Seeing the old man look at him, Ye Xuan greeted him immediately.
This older man"s family name was Zhang. He was one of the Beast Tamers on the Challenger level that led the Xia"s team to travel to the Dragon Horn Planet.
That was how Ye Xuan got to know him.
"Eh?"
However, that Mr. Zhang gazed at Ye Xuan more carefully when Ye Xuan had greeted him.
Then he walked up to Ye Xuan at a fast pace. Staring at Ye Xuan, he said in shock, "Ye Xuan, you are not a beginner on the Silver level, are you? Something is not right."
He turned his head to w.a.n.g Tianshan. "w.a.n.g, what is his situation?"
"What is his situation? What else can it be? He leveled up again."
w.a.n.g Tianshan said calmly.
"No way. He achieved the Silver level not long ago, didn"t he?"
Mr. Zhang was astonished.
"Yes, that"s right. Didn"t he achieve the peak Bronze level directly from the intermediate Bronze level a few days ago? So, isn"t it normal for him to achieve the intermediate Silver level from the low Silver level?"
w.a.n.g Tianshan said as if what Ye Xuan had achieved was normal.
Normal how?
That Mr. Zhang opened his eyes wide.
Why don"t you level up like him?
If you can do the same, I will be a woman in the next life and be your concubine.
At the same time, as the two spoke, everyone there looked at Ye Xuan.
? ??
Only two days pa.s.sed since Ye Xuan had killed Ye Tiange at the gate of Jiangzhou University.
However, in these two days, almost the entire Xia heard about Ye Xuan"s name.
He was especially well-known among university students like him.
Many people were shocked after having heard what he had done.
They could hardly believe how come Ye Xuan was so talented.
He became a Beast Tamer on the Silver level in such a short time.
At the same time, his achievements even made many people bet on the Internet.
They bet on whether Ye Xuan could go on leveling up at such a fast speed.
Naturally, most people concluded Ye Xuan would keep leveling up, judging from his past achievements.
However, he would not be as fast as before.
After all, it was well recognized that Beast Tamers would level up more slowly as they achieved a higher level.
Then someone claimed Ye Xuan might create a new record during the time he was on the Silver level, that he might achieve a small level-up every two months. That was not a mission impossible for him.
And many people agreed to the claim on the Internet.
But what was the current situation?
Did you achieve another breakthrough only two days after you had killed Ye Tiange?
Do you know this is a slap on the face of how many people?
This is incredible!
The Beast Tamers, who were about the same age as Ye Xuan, were all staring at him from far away. They just felt this guy was incredible.
You...
You are not leaving any opportunity to us.
We heard a net novel writer write more than twenty thousand words a day and other writers called him a freak.
And you, you are completely the same as that writer.
Come on.
I am just not convinced.
I will keep an eye on you from now on.
Let"s see whether you can keep this pace in the future.
At the same time, next to Ye Xuan, Tang Mengxia, Huo Tong, and some others were also struck dumb.
Did Ye Xuan level up again?
Not until then did they realize why w.a.n.g Tianshan had shown such a facial expression when he had seen Ye Xuan before they had hit the road to here.
Darn it!
"This is Ye Xuan? My young friend. The younger generation will finally surpa.s.s the older."
At this moment, the other three Beast Tamers on the Challenger level that had been waiting here also walked over.
However, Ye Xuan knew none of them.
But they were very friendly to Ye Xuan.
Seeing them come over, w.a.n.g Tianshan introduced all of them to Ye Xuan.
In this way, Ye Xuan learned two of the three men were local Beast Tamers on the Challenger level in Jingzhou.
The other one was a Beast Tamer on the Challenger level from Qingzhou.
As to Mr. Zhang, he was a Beast Tamer on the Challenger level from Fengzhou.
"Well, we only have three days. So, let"s not waste any more time."
w.a.n.g Tianshan turned his head to Ye Xuan and his companions after introducing those big shots to Ye Xuan. He said, "We will not offer you any help in the next three days."
"You can go in teams or go alone after entering the Bujin Mountain area. But don"t provoke monsters on and above the Gold level. Please bear that in mind. So, is everything clear?"
"Yep!"
Ye Xuan and others nodded.
Looking at Bujin Mountain in front of them, they felt very eager to start this adventure.
Not many people would go into the Bujin Mountain area throughout the year, so there must be countless treasures in it.
This adventure in the Bujin Mountain area was absolutely a big opportunity for them.
"Okay. Now that everything is clear, you can set out now."
w.a.n.g Tianshan did not say anything more. He just waved his hand to tell Ye Xuan and others they could go in there.
"Ye Xuan."
Ye Xuan got ready to go into the Bujin Mountain area after having taken a deep breath.
At this moment, Tang Mengxia suddenly came up to him. She said in an expectant quiet voice, "Shall we team up this time? I know you are good at seeking treasures. So, when this trip is over, I only want a small share of your gains."
"Well..."
Ye Xuan hesitated. He said, "My major goal in this adventure in the Bujin Mountain area is to find a beast with the Magic Element to contract with. I probably won"t have much time for treasure seeking."
"It is okay. I don"t mind. In that case, I will help you find your dream beast first."
Tang Mengxia cupped her hands at Ye Xuan. She begged him with a pitiful look, "Please. If I go alone in this place, I don"t know how bad I will end up three days later. I can"t even imagine it."
"Ye Xuan."
At this moment, Lin s.h.i.+ru came up to them. She had heard their conversation. "It is not a bad idea that you team up with Mengxia. You can take care of each other. And it will be safer for you two."
"Well, okay then."
Ye Xuan finally agreed.
"Thank you so much, Dean Lin!"
Seeing Lin s.h.i.+ru speak for her and Ye Xuan finally agree, Tang Mengxia was very excited.
Going into the Bujin Mountain area with Ye Xuan together was a big step for her to chase this handsome man.
She only expected that there would be a spark between Ye Xuan and her in the next three days.
"No problem."
Lin s.h.i.+ru shook her head. Then she turned her head to look at Huo Tong. "Huo Tong, teaming up with Ye Xuan is also a better option for you than going into the Bujin Mountain area alone, in terms of both gains and safety. So, if it is okay with you, you can go with them."
? ??
Tang Mengxia was dumbfounded. She was rendered speechless.
...
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swish...
When Ye Xuan, Tang Mengxia, and Huo Tong had decided to team up, the others had already flown towards Bujin Mountain.
"Let"s go in there, too!"
Ye Xuan and his teammates did not waste more time. They called out their beasts respectively and flew to Bujin Mountain as well.
They felt hot in a second. Some boiling energy was spreading around them.
They felt they were being roasted by hot air at fifty or sixty degrees centigrade.
Shriek!
At the same time, somewhere deep in the mountainous area, a giant red bird saw Ye Xuan and others flying into Bujin Mountain Ranges. It shrieked while flying across the air. Its shriek sounded like a cling-clang of metals.
