"Ancient beast?"
Everyone's expression changed.
There were many types of savage beasts, and ancient beasts possessed the strongest bloodline.
As the savage beast grew older, its bloodline would awaken, and its strength would soar.
Any beast tamer would take pride in taming an ancient beast. That was because, as the master, he would benefit greatly from the growth of the tamed beast through a contract.
However, such a savage beast was incomparably rare, and it had already gone extinct. Many beast tamers had traversed mountains and forests, looking through all kinds of ancient myths and legends, but to no avail.
To think that it would appear here, and it was even... tamed by Yun Tao?
"Impossible! Even if this fellow isn't a Bone Bird, it can't be an ancient beast. This beast has already gone extinct... "
Beast Tamer Hong was the first to doubt Xuan Xuan.
Even though the others didn't say anything, it was clear that they shared the same thoughts as him.
"The bloodline of ancient beasts has long been extinct. Even if it still exists, it should have reached the level of a spirit beast. How can it be an ordinary savage beast?"
Zhu Jinhuang harrumphed coldly, "Even if you want to escape punishment, you don't have to exaggerate."
"This strange bird is an ancient beast? You must be joking! I can still say that my Tiger Head Beast is a primordial beast! "Zhou Xuan sneered coldly.
Primordial beasts were even more formidable than ancient beasts, and they were much rarer.
Not only them, even Yun Tao's mouth twitched, and he nearly fainted.
It was just a greedy and shameless strange bird. How could it be related to an ancient beast?
One must know that this was the Beast Hall. If he were to make a mistake, he would be in deep trouble.
"Hehe!" Zhang Xuan chuckled, "If I'm not wrong, the Beast Hall should have a method to test one's bloodline, right? It's fine if you don't believe me, you'll know once you test it. "
Since it was an ancient beast, its bloodline should have been passed down from ancient times. It possessed unique powers, and it wasn't difficult for him to test it.
"This..."
Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Hong, and the others glanced at one another and nodded their heads.
If this strange bird was an ancient beast, it would definitely be a shocking matter in the Beast Hall.
Ever since the establishment of this branch, it had existed for more than a thousand years, but there had never been a beast tamer who had managed to tame a savage beast with an Ancient Bloodline.
"Legend has it that the spiritual energy in ancient times wasn't as gentle as it is now. Instead, it was violent and violent. Even though it was easier to cultivate there, the blood of the savage beasts back then was akin to boiling water, on the verge of boiling at any moment. If it really is a remnant beast, as long as we take out a drop of its blood and feed it to other savage beasts, they will definitely be unable to withstand it... "
After a moment of hesitation, Hall Master Feng said slowly.
The purity and heat of the bloodline of ancient beasts was a completely different concept from that of modern savage beasts. Sometimes, even a single droplet of their blood might not be able to withstand the heat and be incinerated on the spot.
If he really wanted to test it, it wasn't too difficult.
An apprentice walked out, and not too long later, he returned with a savage beast in his arms.
It was around the size of a wild rabbit, and its entire body was white in color. It was similar to the Pill Sample Beasts in the Apothecary Guild, just that its size was much larger.
Just like Pill Sample Beasts, these savage beasts were used by the Beast Hall to experiment on medicine and food.
"Here!"
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and a droplet of blood appeared on the body of the strange bird. With a light flick, it flew toward Hall Master Feng.
With a grab, the droplet of blood was wrapped in zhenqi and sent into the mouth of the savage beast.
Tzzzzzzzzz!
The moment the blood entered the savage beast's body, it was as though a droplet of water had been thrown into a frying pan. Sizzling sounds echoed in the air. Soon, the savage beast's entire body turned red, and it rolled on the ground in pain. Not too long later, it stopped moving and breathed its last breath.
Clearly, it was burned to death by a powerful bloodline.
"This..."
Upon seeing this sight, the eyes of Hall Master Feng and the others narrowed.
Only the power of a bloodline could possess such might.
Silence!
A deathly silence filled the room.
At this moment, even a fool would know that the young man was right. This inconspicuous strange bird was indeed an ancient beast.
Even though this fellow was small in size, just the bloodline it possessed was more than ten times more valuable than the savage beasts tamed by Zhou Xuan and Zhu Jinhuang.
The two were on completely different levels. It was like the difference between a diamond and mud.
"Did I just mock an ancient beast?"
Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan's mouths twitched. They felt as though their faces had been slapped, and they were on the verge of tears.
This was an ancient beast, an existence that could cause a huge commotion in the Beast Hall. Yet, they dared to mock it as a worthless bird...
With such discerning eyes, how could they shamelessly claim that they were beast tamers?
If word were to spread, they would definitely become a laughing stock. Even if they were to become official beast tamers, it would be a huge setback in their lives.
While everyone's attention was focused on the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, Mo Yu xiaojie's face turned grim. She couldn't help but stare at the young man not too far away.
Even Hall Master Feng and the others were unable to recognize him. Yet, this fellow spoke calmly and fearlessly. He... Where did he come from?
How could a small place like Tianxuan Kingdom produce such a formidable figure?
"I... actually judged Yun Tao, who tamed an ancient beast, to fail?"
Beast Tamer Hong's face paled, as though he had aged ten years in an instant.
Ancient beasts were existences that countless beast tamers wished to tame, but to no avail!
Not only were they difficult to find, more importantly, these savage beasts possessed high intelligence. Usually, they wouldn't submit to a human... Even with his beast taming skills, it would be difficult for him to succeed in taming one. Yet, it was tamed by an apprentice beast tamer, and yet, he judged the other party as a failure and told him to scram...
Paying no heed to the astonished crowd, Zhang Xuan took a step forward and spoke nonchalantly.
"The Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow is able to absorb the energy of lightning to activate its Ancient Meridian, allowing it to soar into the clouds! This ancient sparrow is similar to the Bone Bird, but there are many differences. Firstly, it's eyes. As the Bone Bird is a carnivore and herbivore, its eyes are turbid and dull. On the other hand, the ancient sparrow's eyes are filled with a soul-piercing brilliance. Even though it isn't too obvious, it is easy to notice it if one pays close attention. "
"Secondly, it's claws. Not only is there a red dot on its palm, more importantly, the claws of the ancient sparrow are extremely hard and sharp. It can easily tear through ordinary weapons, needless to say, human skin. Beast Tamer Hong said that it doesn't possess any fighting prowess, but that's because it is still young and doesn't know how to use it. If it were to use its strength, even a Tongxuan realm expert would be torn into two by its claws. "
"Of course, these two characteristics are the hardest to distinguish. Most beast tamers would find it hard to differentiate them."
With a calm expression, Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before pointing to the head of the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow. "The most obvious characteristic is the crown on its head. Even though it isn't large, it is greenish-red in color, symbolizing 'king'. Even those who don't know beast taming would know that this bird isn't simple. It isn't something that a low-tier beast like the Bone Bird can compare up to! To be unable to see such an obvious characteristic and judge it wrongly the moment it opens its mouth... "
At this point, Zhang Xuan stared at him coldly. "Beast Tamer Hong, as a beast tamer, is this how you examine a savage beast?"
"I..."
Beast Tamer Hong's face paled. Under the other party's piercing gaze, he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Who gave you the confidence to judge Yun Tao as a failure and ask him to scram?"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
Deng deng deng!
Pressured by the other party's tone, Beast Tamer Hong lost his previous imposing manner and retreated once more.
After Zhang Xuan knocked the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow out, it was compiled into a book, and there was a detailed introduction to it. Thus, Zhang Xuan knew its name.
Initially, if this fellow were to be a little more serious and humbly seek guidance, he wouldn't hide anything from him.
But... Even after pointing out his mistake, he still released his zhenqi and even summoned his tamed beast, intending to make a move!
As a Tongxuan realm pinnacle cultivator, he didn't fear the other party's aura and pressure. However, if his cultivation was too low, he would have been severely injured and bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Since he had already fallen out with the other party, naturally, he wouldn't give the other party any face.
"I was careless..."
Beast Tamer Hong's complexion turned awful.
The other party wasn't wrong at all. Even if he wanted to refute him, he wouldn't be able to do so.
"Despite being in charge of the beast tamer examination, you made the decision based on your own emotions. You were unable to be fair, and you nearly caused a talented beast tamer who tamed an ancient beast to be covered in dust!"
Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves, "Is this the conduct of the Beast Hall? If that's the case, am I wrong to say that you are a useless fool? "
"I..."
Hearing the sharp questioning from the other party, Beast Tamer Hong's body trembled, but he was unable to refute the other party's words.
Previously, when he heard the other party's words, he was on the verge of exploding in anger. However, after knowing that he had nearly chased away the beast tamer who tamed an ancient beast, he understood that there was nothing he could do to refute the other party's words.
The beast tamer examination was to select talents for the Beast Hall. For such a talent to be chased away was a violation of the rules of the Beast Hall.
"This brother, please calm down. There are many types of ancient beasts, and most of them have already disappeared in the annals of history. Even the Beast Hall isn't able to keep track of all of them. It is normal for there to be a mistake!"
Hall Master Feng chuckled and walked forward, "How about this, since it is our Beast Hall's negligence, we won't shirk our responsibility. Let's have Yun Tao re-examine and re-evaluate him! As for Beast Tamer Hong, he neglected his duties. From today onwards, he will be sent to the Beast Forest to rear savage beasts. For the next three years, he will not be allowed to step out! "
At this point, he turned to Beast Tamer Hong and asked, "Beast Tamer Hong, do you agree to my punishment?"
"I have no complaints!" Beast Tamer Hong bowed with a downcast expression.
"With just a sentence, Beast Tamer Hong will be sent to the Beast Forest for three years?"
"This... Isn't this too vicious?"
"The Beast Forest is a place where savage beasts are kept. It is similar to a pigsty, and usually, only apprentices enter it. Yet, a 1-star pinnacle Beast Tamer Hong is to be sent there for three years?"
...
Hearing this decision, everyone was taken aback. Then, they turned to look at Zhang Xuan with fear in their eyes.
This was Beast Tamer Hong! Other than the three 2-star beast tamers in the Beast Hall, he was one of the most esteemed beast tamers in the Beast Hall. Yet, with just a word from him, he was exiled to the lowest tier Beast Forest to do menial labor. His means were simply too fearsome!
While everyone was horrified, Zhang Xuan secretly sent a message to Shen Bi Ru.
"This... What kind of place is the Beast Forest? Isn't this fellow's punishment heavy? "
"..." Shen Bi Ru widened her eyes in frenzy.
