Draconic Gift!
Xia Fei was disappointed yet again. In the past, Furball had always been the size of a duck egg, but after this promotion, he had become a ping pong ball, a full circle smaller than before.
The little white Furball's fur was pure and unblemished, and its eyes were much clearer than before. Xia Fei picked it up and placed it in his palm. After consuming several hundred White Swallow Gems, though Furball had been promoted, it had shrunk in size. It was as if the trajectory of its growth was not proportional to the amount of energy it had absorbed. Who knew where Furball had hidden all that energy?
Xia Fei felt that Furball's shrinking was not a good thing, and he could not wait for it to grow up. Zanian and Busey, on the other hand, were shocked by the purity of Furball's physique. The cute little fellow was now very eye-catching. Though it was small, it was unforgettable.
"Looks like you've really invested quite a bit of effort into the Holy Beast Shatterstar. Its appearance is flawless, and its body is full of energy. It's just that it's a little small." Zanian swallowed as he spoke, his two eyes staring at Furball.
Xia Fei pursed his lips. Furball was now able to stand on his ear. Not only was it small, it was also light. He even suspected that a gust of wind would blow Furball away.
Furball was charmingly naive in front of Xia Fei, but it was not so friendly toward Zanian. It glared at him with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The insufferably arrogant aura of a Holy Beast was unmistakable.
Zanian could not help but shudder. Furball was only cute on the outside, but no one could ignore the wildness inside. A Holy Beast was ultimately a Holy Beast, and aside from its master, no one could even think of getting close to it.
Quietly leaving, Zanian returned to Busey's side. Xia Fei continued to recover his energy and tease Furball.
"Uncle Busey, why do I feel that Xia Fei's Holy Beast is a little different?" Zanian furrowed his eyebrows as he softly asked.
Busey solemnly replied, "The fact that you noticed it means that your eyes aren't bad. Xia Fei's Holy Beast is indeed very different. Holy Beasts are proud and aloof, and it's usually very difficult to get close to them. It's quite rare for Xia Fei to get along so well with this Holy Beast.
"I've seen people with Divine Beasts or Holy Beasts, but most of them are on equal footing with Holy Beasts, like friends or brothers, while Xia Fei is like Holy Beast Shatterstar's father."
Zanian was slightly taken aback. "Now that you mention it, I've also thought about it. Indeed, no matter how powerful this Holy Beast Xia Fei is or how wild his heart is, he'll always behave himself in front of Xia Fei. He's even willing to give up his dignity as a Holy Beast for Xia Fei. No wonder I felt that something was wrong. It's because the Holy Beast is so obedient to its master. "
Busey nodded. "This kind of situation is very rare. A Holy Beast abandons its pride and submits completely. You must know that the reason why Holy Beasts are different from Divine Beasts is that they are independent, powerful, and unyielding."
"I wonder how Xia Fei managed to do it. It's already shocking enough that he was able to simultaneously control a hundred and twenty Beast Kings in the fourth assessment. Could it really be as old Nie Ying said, that he's a true beast taming genius?" Zanian wondered.
Busey shook his head. "Many people can control Beast Kings, which only proves that Xia Fei is talented in this area and has grasped a high-end technique. Very few people can make a Holy Beast submit.
"I suspect that there's an opportunity here. In other words, Xia Fei happened to do something that forced the Holy Beast to submit, causing the aloof Holy Beast to submit to him."
Rubbing his head, Busey said, "Forget it. This isn't something a human can do. Let's just treat it as Xia Fei's opportunity. We won't be able to find an answer here."
The two nodded in unison, looking at Xia Fei and Furball with envy.
Being able to own a Holy Beast was already a great opportunity, and it was even more incomprehensible that Xia Fei had managed to completely subdue Furball. Unfortunately, Furball had already recognized him as its master, and it would never change its mind, so no matter how envious the two of them were, they could only watch.
…
The candidates passed one after another, and the number of people on the grassy field by the lake gradually increased.
Busey set up the screen once more, and Xia Fei's name was surprisingly in fourth place. Xia Fei's performance in the second round was not too good, only getting two hundred and ninetieth place. After this round, his ranking had greatly increased, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal of being in the top three.
Aside from Xia Fei, everyone else was very vexed, for Zanian was asking for the White Swallow Gems they had collected.
"One hundred and twenty-three White Swallow Gems. Thank you." His attitude was like that of a waiter in a tavern, counting the White Swallow Gems one by one before storing them in his ring.
"Don't be so reluctant. Uncle Busey will give you extra points."
"Hehe, there's still one in your pockets. Don't keep it to yourself, or else Uncle Busey might disqualify you."
Xia Fei found it funny. The son of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall's master was actually speaking like a peddler. It seemed that he and Yuhua both had the potential to become unscrupulous merchants. Actually, Xia Fei had forgotten that he was also an unscrupulous merchant, the biggest one in the Alliance at that.
Aside from Xia Fei, everyone had obediently handed over their White Swallow Gems, but Xia Fei had fed these precious spirits that could increase his rank to Furball, directly causing it to advance in rank.
Moreover, Xia Fei had taken advantage of everyone's slackness to overtake them, taking first place in the third round of the assessment!
In front of Zanian and Busey, these two old foxes, not only did Xia Fei not suffer any losses, he had even profited greatly. If Furball had relied on Origin Crystals to advance, even if Xia Fei fed it all of his stock, it would not have been enough. Xia Fei had profited greatly from both sides.
* Whoosh! *
The spatial gate opened once more, and Busey loudly said, "The final round will determine your fate. Everyone, enter immediately!"
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh *
The crowd hurriedly rushed toward the spatial gate. Most of them had not gotten any rest, and aside from Xia Fei, who had completed the assessment early, everyone else was still exhausted.
* Pa! *
A short and plump candidate was pulled back by Busey. "Where are you going?"
"The assessment … the final round …" the short man stuttered.
"Don't bother coming after the five hundredth place. You've all been eliminated!" Busey said with a dark expression.
The short man's body went limp, and he immediately slumped to the ground. He had finished in the five hundredth and first place, which was truly tragic.
…
Five hundred people. This was the total number of people who had made it to the final round.
Everyone could not believe what they saw. The candidates who had passed through the spatial gate suddenly discovered that they were standing under a mushroom!
There was no doubt that this was a spotted drumstick mushroom. It was no less than a hundred meters tall, and its mushroom head could blot out the sun!
It was not just a mushroom; this place was practically a giant world. Be it the flowers, grass, or trees, they were all disproportionately huge!
* Whoosh ~ *
A bee no less than twenty meters long flapped its wings and flew over everyone's heads. Its huge wings flapped, and it was practically a fighter jet!
Everyone was shocked that there was such a place in the universe. It was practically a magnified world! This was simply unimaginable!
Busey deliberately coughed twice, and everyone turned around to look at him. They did not know where they were, and what the final round of assessment was about.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you. Actually, you were destined to be different from the others from the very beginning. Those candidates who were placed in other groups have long since been eliminated. I did not tell you this because I was afraid that you would become arrogant. If you don't believe me, you can wait until you return to see those disappointed expressions. That is, if you can still return."
The first two sentences made the candidates extremely happy, but the last one was a heavy blow to everyone's heads. If they could still return? That meant that this assessment would probably be a life and death match! In other words, the candidates would be allowed to kill each other! In order to fight for the limited number of spots, rivers of blood were destined to flow in the examination grounds!
Everyone's expressions were solemn. The true life and death assessment was finally about to begin. Everyone was filled with worry and anticipation!
"I must admit that although you all come from small clans in the circle, your strength is not bad. Being able to have five hundred people make it to the final round is already far beyond my expectations. Originally, I had predicted that having fifty people would be very good."
Everyone raised their heads. As members of small clans, to be praised by one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, Busey, made many of them extremely excited. However, the next moment, Busey began to pour cold water on their excitement.
"Don't think that this is a good thing. The more candidates there are, the more intense the competition will be, and the chances of getting injured or even dying will greatly increase. This is the Law Realm, and death is nothing more than a common occurrence for warriors. Since all of you are here, I'm sure that you are already prepared to die."
Many people clenched their fists, their expressions solemn. Busey's words were more and more confirming their conjecture. Victory would be decided in this battle!
"Take a look at the world around you. Isn't it very big?"
"Let me tell you. This was originally a normal planet, and I was the one who changed it! I used the power of law! A high-end law that none of you could even dream of! A law that can change an entire planet! "
Busey's voice was impassioned. He had actually used his own power to completely change an entire planet. Such strength was practically unimaginable! The Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension truly lived up to their reputation!
"This is the power of law! The power of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall!
"The Law Realm isn't big, but it's not small either. Do you want to learn high-end laws? You can only enter the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall! Do you want to ascend to the mighty God Race? The Dragon Ascension Martial Hall can help you achieve this! Do you want to take a look at the Gate of the Universe that symbolizes the ultimate secret of the universe? You must also rely on the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall! Because we are the number one martial hall in the Law Realm! Number one! No other! "
The crowd was impassioned. Busey had painted a picture of the future that everyone yearned for, and even Xia Fei could not help but applaud. He realized that this big black metal was actually quite a good orator, and even he was moved.
The number one martial hall in the Law Realm was the only way to reach the pinnacle!
"In this round, you can steal, you can kill, you can do anything you want. There are no rules!" Busey coldly said. "There's more than one way to pass. Steal the number plates of three candidates and you'll pass. Discover the hidden questions and solve them and you'll pass. Everyone will receive a name, and you can also pass by killing a specific person!
"Of course, the best method is to kill all the candidates except yourself! Because that way, you'll definitely receive the great gift that the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall has prepared for you! "
* Whoosh ~ *
As soon as he finished speaking, an object about two meters tall appeared in front of everyone, covered in a layer of black gauze.
"I believe that all of you recognize this object, yes?"
* Whoosh ~ *
