Chapter 508: Finally Tier Seven!

The ambush incident was already over; the military and the government would investigate the evil Freemasons cult.
The most important matter Zhang Che had to attend to was to fully focus on venturing into the different beast worlds and make the best use of his time to hunt exotic beasts, striving to advance to Tier Seven beastmaster as soon as possible.
As long as he wasn’t at Tier Seven, it would be very difficult for Zhang Che to grow any stronger. Once he achieved Tier Seven, not only could he employ stronger subdued beasts, he could also use his spiritual force, which would experience a qualitative change at that time, to strengthen his physique. From then on, he would truly develop at a super human level, possessing greater personal combat prowess.

Day after day pa.s.sed. Zhang Che could sense that he was much closer to breaking through to achieving Tier Seven. He should advance within the next few days.
During the past few days, Zhang Che had gone to the beast worlds near four different cities. The number of exotic beasts he had killed was simply uncountable. A mountain of beast cards had acc.u.mulated in his spatial storage. When he brought them back, the Premium House would have no need to worry about their inventory for a few months, at the very least.
What remained unchanged was Zhang Che’s subdued beasts and pets. None of them rose in quality.
It was nothing strange when he thought about it. His subdued beasts and pets were all at dark gold-quality and above. Naturally it wouldn’t be as easy as before for them to advance from absorbing the rainbow crystal’s energy. To put it in perspective, it had taken three months for a gold-quality beast card to advance to dark gold-quality with this method!
Based on prior experience, breaking through from dark gold to legend-quality would take at least half a year! Of Zhang Che’s dark gold-quality subdued beasts and pets, the ones that had followed him for the longest time, the Purple Jade Condor and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander, were only at three-stars. Unless they advanced to four-stars, they would be under a restriction, and wouldn’t be able to break through to legend-quality no matter how long they stayed in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.
As for his other dark gold-quality subdued beasts or pets, they were either obtained afterwards, or through advancement from a lower quality level. They were nowhere near to the six month limit they needed in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.
As such, Zhang Che still couldn’t confirm exactly how long it took for a dark gold-quality beast to advance to legend-quality.
During his free time, Zhang Che calculated thoroughly. In the end, he discovered both the Purple Jade Condor and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander had been with him for more than half a year. Counting the time, these two beast cards should have been with me for more than half a year. Too bad I have to put all my attention into breaking through to Tier Seven beastmaster, otherwise I could make a trip back to Bei Du and ask Miss Tienan to concoct cultivation fluid for them and level them up to four-stars. That way, I’d learn how long it takes to advance from dark gold to legend-quality.
Even so, they were restricted by their levels. It was impossible for them to break through in quality unless they advanced in level.
Even so, Zhang Che wasn’t in a hurry regarding this matter.
On the one hand, given his current strength, having two more legend-quality subdued beasts wouldn’t bring about a qualitative change in his strength. Basically, he could do with or without them.
On the other hand, he could vaguely sense that he was very close to advancing to Tier Seven beastmaster. With Miss Tienan helping him when he returned to Bei Du afterwards, he’d naturally find out how long it took to advance from dark gold to legend-quality.
“It’s been such a long time. Miss Tienan’s skills at concocting cultivation fluid should have increased again, right?” Zhang Che guessed that Huang Tielan should be able to concoct the cultivation fluid for three-star dark gold-quality beast cards rather easily now.
After all, she could concoct cultivation fluids for mid-tier low-quality beast cards previously. With this period of time to practice, her skills should be around that level…

Evening came again. Zhang Che flew back to the safety zone on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, then crossed the spatial gateway together with the elemental queen. He directly started up Dijiang-hao, which was parked in the military camp nearby, and flew to their next destination during the night.
If they travelled during the night, Zhang Che would be able to directly enter the beast world the next morning, saving a lot of time.
During the past few days, Zhang Che had been making the best use of his time this way, managing to hunt in four different beast worlds.
With the experience gained during this period of time, Zhang Che could clearly sense that his spiritual sea had acc.u.mulated to a full state. He could advance at any moment now.
The sharp-eyed elemental queen could tell the difference in Zhang Che. “Master, are you about to advance to Tier Seven?” she asked, looking at Zhang Che, her face filled with admiration. -My master is really too strong!-
This humanoid pet, who was so deeply interested in the internet, had celebrated on more than one occasion that she had surrendered to Zhang Che and followed him back then. It was simply the best choice she had ever made!
Zhang Che nodded, showing a smile of antic.i.p.ation, “That’s right. If all goes well, I should be able to make it to Tier Seven tomorrow in the next beast world after killing another bunch of mid-tier and higher exotic beasts!”
-It hasn’t been easy; I’m finally about to reach Tier Seven!-
That night, Zhang Che was hunting exotic beasts crazily even in his dreams. He advanced to Tier Seven and his strength increased by leaps and bounds. Shortly after, his beasts advanced one after another, becoming divine-quality subdued beasts and pets, rising in status into the king of the world!…
—
In northwestern Hua Xia, to the north of Dahuang City, in the extreme depths of a beast world…
The elemental queen, Scarlet Flame Drake, Earthen Rock Demon, and the frisky monkey armed with the Falling Star Model X Mk III were each standing in their positions. Some dark gold-quality and above subdued beasts and pets were following behind them, separated into four teams.
As for Zhang Che, he was on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, looking at the four teams in front of him. He waved his hand in high spirits and said, “Come, everyone, let’s move out! We’ll sweep through every exotic beasts here before nightfall! Whether I break through to Tier Seven or not depends on you guys!”
At his command, the four teams turned and ran off in different directions, eliminating the mid-tier and above exotic beasts in this area according to the areas chosen by Zhang Che on the map previously. Zhang Che wasn’t slacking off, either. He immediately flew in another direction on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
According to the information provided by Huang Juyun, this beast world near Dahuang City had huge numbers of exotic beasts, and they were distributed in a very broad area.
Zhang Che estimated that as long as he could finish sweeping through this ma.s.sive area today, it was likely he’d advance to Tier Seven beastmaster!
After Zhang Che separated all his subdued beasts and pets into five teams, including himself, their efficiency at killing exotic beasts kept increasing. The mechanical notification sounds kept ringing in his head almost constantly. Soul force kept streaking through the empty s.p.a.ce and entering his spiritual sea.
In order to breakthrough to Tier Seven beastmaster today, Zhang Che had gone all out. After all, it was very likely to have casualties among his beasts when he separated his teams like that if they accidentally ran into a powerful exotic beast. However, it was only for today. His luck wouldn’t be so bad, right..?
While thinking about all that, Zhang Che didn’t slow down at all. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly flew past mountains and rivers as Zhang Che controlled the scarlet and white sword light, cutting down every exotic beast within a hundred meters.
Ma.s.ses of light kept glowing between the mountain ridges. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would also open his mouth and suck in from time to time, vacuuming all the beast cards through the air, slowly filling up Zhang Che’s spatial storage.

Time pa.s.sed by quickly as they slaughtered mindlessly.
Zhang Che didn’t know exactly how much time had pa.s.sed. In any case, he only remembered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flying past many mountains and rivers. The number of exotic beasts he had killed with the scarlet and white sword was uncountable.
Suddenly, a hint of strange light flashed across Zhang Che’s eyes. He hurriedly ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to stop, then had the dragon guard him while he sat cross-legged on an exposed rock on a mountain, silently feeling the changes in his spiritual sea.
Ma.s.sive amounts of soul force were gathered inside Zhang Che’s spiritual sea. At this moment, the soul force seemed to have acc.u.mulated to a critical point. It quickly stirred all of a sudden, shaking Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.
Zhang Che smiled faintly. He sat on the mountain rock with his eyes closed, like a statue, not moving at all.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a soundless explosion suddenly erupted in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea. The s.p.a.ce in his spiritual sea expanded considerably again.
At the same time, the spiritual force that seemed rather illusory in the past had finally become real.
Zhang Che knew that he had finally advanced to Tier Seven! He slowly opened his eyes, a radiant smile on his face.
“At long last, I’m finally at Tier Seven! Hahahaha!…”
The sounds of laughter suddenly stopped. Zhang Che’s expression changed slightly. He sensed the golden vortex in his spiritual sea suddenly spinning crazily as it started to devour the spiritual force that had turned into a real substance.
“This is?…”
