Chapter 207 - Incredible
"Well, which one of them do you think has got the most feathers of the Red Luan on this trip?"
w.a.n.g Tianshan asked his friends outside Bujin Mountain when the time limit of three days was approaching.
Three days ago, one of the Beast Tamers on the Challenger level used a special beast to capture the movement of qi of Ye Xuan and others when they had gone into the Bujin Mountain area.
Therefore, those Beast Tamers on the Challenger level waiting outside Bujin Mountain could detect the status of Ye Xuan and others through the movement of their qi.
They claimed they would not intervene even if Ye Xuan and others ran into danger. But that was certainly impossible. Of course, they would do something if that really happened.
However, except that, they knew nothing about the performance of Ye Xuan and others in the past three days.
Because besides following Ye Xuan and others" status, they also had to watch out for the monsters on the Challenger level in the Bujin Mountain area.
Even the worst of the monsters on the Challenger level living in there were on the high Challenger level.
Human Beast Tamers couldn"t contract with Challenger-level monsters on such a high level.
Unless they did not contract with any beast after having achieved the Challenger level.
Then they would have to wait.
Until they had achieved the intermediate Challenger level or even the high Challenger level.
Not until then could they try to contract with a monster on the high Challenger level.
However, that was a rare case.
Almost no Beast Tamers on the Challenger level would do something like that.
As a result, although there were monsters on the Challenger level living on the Cerulean Planet.
Monsters on those two levels would become the target of Beast Tamers as soon as they showed up.
This further led to the current situation. Almost all monsters on the Challenger level living in the forbidden lands were on the high Challenger level or even the peak Challenger level.
When monsters on the high Challenger level or even the peak Challenger level got together, they would be extremely threatening.
Therefore, even though w.a.n.g Tianshan and his friends were Beast Tamers on the Challenger level, they could not be too careful.
Ye Xuan and others went very deep in the Bujin Mountain area in the past few days in such circ.u.mstances.
It would be impossible for them to know everything about Ye Xuan and others even though they were Beast Tamers on the Challenger level.
"My guess is Zuo Qingtian, the young Beast Tamer that came with me. He has a big chance of winning the first place."
A Beast Tamer on the Challenger level said, smiling.
They suppressed Bujin Mountain in the first place because it was a favor w.a.n.g Tianshan had asked them. The initial goal was to find Ye Xuan, a good beast.
Moreover, the students they had brought here to take adventures in the Bujin Mountain area were all great geniuses.
None of them thought the students they had brought here were worse than Ye Xuan.
Because Ye Xuan had not been a m.a.t.u.r.e Beast Tamer yet.
And this was an opportunity to compete for the egg of the Holy Fiery Red Luan.
They believed none of the youngsters they had brought here would be willing to lose this opportunity.
As to Ye Xuan"s beast…
It would depend on Ye Xuan himself. Maybe he had found another suitable beast in the Bujin Mountain area in the past three days.
"Eh?"
However, Beast Tamer, on the Challenger level who had mentioned Zuo Qingtian, suddenly saw Zhang laughing next to him.
"Zhang, what are you laughing at?"
He asked out of confusion.
"Nothing. I think the first place will go to Zhuo Bufan. He is the young man who came with me."
Zhang broke into a smile.
"Zhuo Bufan? Who is that? How come we never heard about him?"
The others were all struck dumb by Zhang.
"Of course, you never heard about him. He is a genius I have been training secretly. I never brought him anywhere. This is the first time. What he experienced this time must be eye-opening for him."
"Of course." He suddenly showed a proud face. "It will be eye-opening for you, too."
"Yeah? Okay. We will see how great your Zhuo Bufan is later."
w.a.n.g Tianshan and others were intrigued.
"w.a.n.g Tianshan, what do you think?"
Someone asked w.a.n.g Tianshan.
"What do I think?"
w.a.n.g Tianshan smiled. He said without hesitation, "I certainly think Ye Xuan will win."
"Ye Xuan?"
The others did not agree with him.
If Ye Xuan had been given more time, not a lot, but just one or two months, they would probably change their mind.
However, by then...
After all, Ye Xuan achieved the intermediate Silver level only not long ago.
"What about Ren Xue? How well has she been doing?"
She was curious about Ye Xuan"s gains as well.
But just like others, she did not think Ye Xuan would get the first place, either.
Maybe he would get the third or the fourth place?
Lin s.h.i.+ru thought.
That was her guess.
As to the first place, she thought Ren Xue had a certain chance of competing for it.
...
"Five hundred feathers of the Red Luan?"
"Ye Xuan, just by yourself?"
At the same time, when the young Beast Tamers had reached the three days" time limit in the Bujin Mountain area.
Seeing that new number shown next to Ye Xuan"s name on the ranking list, some Beast Tamers cursed themselves. They were among those who had been overwhelmed by Ye Xuan in the Secret Realm with the Silver Silver Star Fruit Tree on the Dragon Horn Planet.
All of them had seen freaks before.
But they had never seen a freak like Ye Xuan.
"That dude."
Ren Xue saw Ye Xuan"s rank at a peak.
She was rendered completely speechless when she had seen Ye Xuan had got five hundred feathers of the Red Luan.
She told Ye Xuan about the locations of five Gold-level monsters in all.
However, the feathers of the Red Luan guarded by those five Gold-level monsters did not amount to five hundred at all. The number would not reach five hundred, either, even though they and the feathers of the Red Luan that Ye Xuan had got earlier were added together.
Apparently.
Besides the five Gold-level monsters.
Ye Xuan must have found another Gold-level monster himself.
And he must have obtained the feathers of the Red Luan guarded by that Gold-level monster, too.
Were Gold-level monsters that weak?
Ren Xue suddenly recalled the Three-Eyed Heavenly Fire Toad she had provoked earlier. She almost got trapped in the valley the toad was living in. She still had a lingering fear at the thought of that.
Apparently.
Gold-level monsters were not weak at all.
However, Ye Xuan was too strong.
He had too many tricks.
"I lost."
At the same time, seeing the time limit reached, Zhuo Bufan, mounting his Nine-Headed Spotted Dragon Pig, felt relieved.
He had been made desperate by Ye Xuan after seeing the latter"s feathers of the Red Luan soar again and again.
In desperation, he only wished the three days could pa.s.s as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he felt he, suffering the successive big blows from Ye Xuan, would collapse sooner or later.
He even wondered whether Ye Xuan had taken some drug.
Otherwise, how come he was so strong?
He had made his piggy Snow make many wishes, but he still failed. He lost to Ye Xuan.
"What a pity."
Recalling that, Zhuo Bufan felt quite regrettable.
He was just curious if he could make a Holy Fiery Red Luan his beast.
What kind of piggy it would transform into.
However, he would never know that.
Clang!
When the three days" time limit had been reached, and everyone was leaving the Bujin Mountain area.
A loud shriek came from the deep part of the Bujin Mountain area.
Then, the Holy Fiery Red Luan"s giant body showed up. It was flying out of the Bujin Mountain area.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swish...
At the same time, w.a.n.g Tianshan and his friends, maneuvering their beasts, also flew into the Bujin Mountain area.
They also sent more beasts of theirs out.
So that Ye Xuan and another trainee, Beast Tamers, could go back to join them quickly.
"How have you been, Ye Xuan?"
While waiting for the Holy Fiery Red Luan flying over, w.a.n.g Tianshan beamed as soon as he saw Ye Xuan.
"Not bad."
Ye Xuan answered w.a.n.g Tianshan.
Not bad?
In the distance, the other Beast Tamers that had gone into the Bujin Mountain area with Ye Xuan all curled their lip.
If it was only not bad for you, what about us?
"So, how many feathers of the Red Luan have you got?" Lin s.h.i.+ru asked Ye Xuan out of curiosity.
Even w.a.n.g Tianshan and other Beast Tamers on the Challenger level knew nothing about Ye Xuan"s gains. She certainly did not know anything, either.
"Five hundred."
Ye Xuan answered with a big grin.
"Five hundred?"
Lin s.h.i.+ru nodded.
Because she had no idea how many feathers of the Red Luan the Holy Fiery Red Luan had sent away in all.
Neither did she know anything about others" gains.
Therefore, she was not surprised.
But she looked at Ren Xue, who was not far away from Ye Xuan, after a pause. She asked, "Xue, what about you? How many feathers of the Red Luan have you got?"
Ren Xue had given up competing against Ye Xuan, but she was still embarra.s.sed by Lin s.h.i.+ru"s question. She answered, "I have only got 143 feathers of the Red Luan."
"One hundred and forty-three?"
Lin s.h.i.+ru was struck dumb.
w.a.n.g Tianshan and other Beast Tamers on the Challenger level also threw Ren Xue a surprised look.
They had heard about Ren Xue.
They knew Ren Xue was related to Ren Ya.
They also knew Ren Xue had been the best among last year"s freshmen of Jiangzhou University before Ye Xuan had got admitted.
However, wasn"t the gap between them too big?
They shook their heads.
At this moment, a Beast Tamer on the Challenger level looked at a good-looking girl standing next to him. He asked her, "Song Lingyue, how many feathers of the Red Luan have you got?"
The good-looking girl was embarra.s.sed, too. She answered, "Mr. Zhang, I have only got 132 feathers of the Red Luan."
"One hundred and thirty-two?"
Mr. Zhang was instantly struck dumb.
What has been with you?
The feathers of the Red Luan you have got are even less than what Ren Xue has got?
"Zuo Qingtian, what about you?"
Another Beast Tamer on the Challenger level was alert as if he had found something wrong. He turned his head to ask a tall youngster.
"Mr. Gu."
Zuo Qingtian said with a flush, "I have got 153 feathers of the Red Luan, and I am ranked third."
"One hundred and fifty-three feathers of the Red Luan? You are ranked third, so who is ranked second?"
That Beast Tamer on the Challenger level opened his eyes wide at Zuo Qingtian"s reply.
"It is me."
In the crowd, Zhuo Bufan, who had taken all of his beasts back, said in a low voice, "I have gained 222 feathers of the Red Luan."
In fact, he could have gained more than that.
However, seeing Ye Xuan winning feathers of the Red Luan from Gold-level beasts again and again.
He had a nervous breakdown. Then he just gave up and started to stroll around.
And he stopped telling his white piggy to make wishes for him.
After all, where would he get even if he worked hard?
He would be second-place at most.
And that would be at the cost of his beast"s strength. It would take that white piggy a long time to fully recover.
It was just not worth it.
"Ranked second with 222 feathers of the Red Luan?"
Mr. Zhang, who believed Zhuo Bufan would get the first place, opened his mouth after hearing Zhuo Bufan"s reply.
You are ranked second!
But the feathers of the Red Luan that Ye Xuan, the first place winner, has got is more than twice the amount you have got?
At the same time, all of the Beast Tamers on the Challenger level and Lin s.h.i.+ru looked at Ye Xuan.
Not bad?
That is what you meant by not bad?
Clang!
While everyone was in shock, the Holy Fiery Red Luan finally arrived after having flown over a long distance flapping its wings.
Its wingspan reached more than six hundred feet.
It looked like a red mountain while flying in the air.
And it just looked stunning.
Looking at this Holy Fiery Red Luan, the same thought came into everyone"s mind spontaneously.
If only they could contract with a beast like this in the future.
Some female Beast Tamers were especially eager for it.
However, that would be a mission impossible for them.
At that thought, some people looked at Ye Xuan again.
"According to the agreement."
At this moment, the Holy Fiery Red Luan also fixed its eyes on Ye Xuan, standing in the crowd, after having landed.
