"You … know how to fly?"
Seeing the human and beast plummeting to the ground, Yu Fei-er stared at the young man before her with widened eyes, as though she had seen a ghost.
Wasn't flight a privilege that only Saint realm experts possessed?
You are only at Consonant Spirit realm, how did you manage to do it?
"Qiqi, you already knew about it?"
Recalling Luo Qiqi's fearless attitude, Yu Fei-er couldn't help but ask.
"In the underground chamber, in order to save me, Zhang Shi used this move …"
Luo Qiqi said. Then, she turned to Zhang Xuan and asked curiously, "Teacher, how do you know how to fly?"
She had been wanting to ask this question for a long time, but she hadn't had the chance to.
To be able to fly before reaching Saint realm, if news were to spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar among the populace.
"Oh, it's an artifact that teacher gave me. Actually, it doesn't allow me to fly but glide for a short period of time. Furthermore, it has a flaw. It consumes a lot of zhenqi, so I won't be able to sustain it for too long!"
Zhang Xuan explained. Since he couldn't explain it, he decided to pass it on to 'Yang Xuan'.
"Artifact? Yang shi is indeed formidable! "
Upon hearing that it was Yang shi's artifact, the duo couldn't help but feel envious.
To have such a formidable teacher who was willing to give his student so many artifacts, it seemed like Yang shi really valued him highly.
Seeing that he had pushed the blame onto 'teacher', the duo fell silent, and Zhang Xuan chuckled. "This artifact is rather rare, so I hope that the two of you won't spread it around to avoid trouble!"
"Don't worry!"
Luo Qiqi and Yu Fei-er nodded.
Since a master teacher of Yang shi's caliber was involved, they wouldn't dare to speak of it.
Besides, if word were to spread, Zhang Shi would surely be in trouble, and they wouldn't do so either.
As the trio spoke, they slowly descended from the sky.
Zhang Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
Given his current cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fly alone for an hour. However, it would be a little taxing for him to carry two people with him.
It was fortunate that they were only descending and not advancing. Otherwise, they would surely fall from the sky just like Qin Zhong.
"That guy … won't fall to his death, right?" Luo Qiqi could not help but ask.
Not far away, a man and a beast were lying in a large pit. The beast was still conscious, but the man had been injured before. Falling from such a great height, he could no longer bear the new injuries and fainted.
"That Qin Zhong is a Cosmos Bridge realm expert. It's just a thousand meters. It won't be that easy for him to fall to his death!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Back then, when Feng shi and the others surrounded him, they had fallen from an altitude of more than a thousand meters, but they had still managed to survive the fall. Even if that fellow had been severely injured by the puppets, as the young master of the Master Teacher Pavilion, how could he possibly be injured?
At most, he would be severely injured. How could he die so easily?
"He has fainted, but you are still conscious. Hurry up and bring us to the Beast Hall!"
After explaining, Zhang Xuan looked at the Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast lying on the ground not too far away.
At this moment, the big fellow was also injured, but it wasn't unconscious. It glanced over at Zhang Xuan and trembled in fear.
"Roar!"
Hearing those words, even though the Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast was fearful, it still struggled to its feet and walked over.
Possessing the Dragon Bloodline, it was innately fearful of Zhang Xuan's Dragon Language. Since the latter was instructing it, it naturally obeyed obediently.
Hu hu hu!
Leaping onto the back of the Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast, the trio ignored the dumbfounded Qin Zhong and flew toward the Beast Hall.
It was enough to teach that arrogant fellow a lesson. Most probably, he would remember this matter for the rest of his life.
Given that the Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast had already flown quite a distance, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Beast Hall.
The Beast Hall of the Miryu Empire was clearly much grander than the one they had seen before. Countless spirit beasts flew in the sky, and the cry of their beasts echoed in the surroundings. Even before arriving, it already felt like a bustling city.
When they were still several hundred meters away from the Beast Hall, Zhang Xuan, Luo Qiqi, and the others alighted from the back of the Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast.
The Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast was the tamed beast of the young master of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. If they were to ride it in, it would surely cause a lot of trouble, and it would be a waste of their breath to explain the situation.
As for why they didn't ride it to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, that was even simpler.
Hongyuan Empire was more than a million kilometers away from here. Even though the Green-leaf Winged Dragon Beast was at Consonant Spirit realm, it would take at least a month and a half for it to fly there.
By then, it would be too late!
It was less than a month away from the start of the semester, and the Miryu Empire Beast Hall was bound to have higher-tier spirit beasts.
Walking into the main hall of the Beast Hall, the trio was immediately shocked by the huge crowd.
The Miryu Empire was vast, and there were countless people who came to the Beast Hall to borrow spirit beasts every day.
There were more than a dozen rows of people, and each row had several hundred people. Some of them had even been queuing up for a month or two in advance.
"The Beast Hall has a limited number of spirit beasts and savage beasts, and only a portion of them are sent out every day. As such, no matter how many people queue up, it's impossible for everyone to get a slot!"
Looking at the crowd before her, Luo Qiqi smiled bitterly.
There were limited beast tamers and spirit beasts in the Beast Hall, so naturally, it was impossible for everyone to get a slot. Those who didn't get a slot had to wait for the second day, third day, or even longer!
"Indeed. In the Hongyuan Empire Beast Hall, there are some who queue up for a month or two without a slot. Even though there are fewer people in the Miryu Empire Beast Hall, it's impossible for them to get a slot without waiting for at least ten days!"
Yu Fei-er nodded.
Every empire had countless experts and occupations, but the Beast Hall didn't have many of them. Traveling on spirit beasts had always been a huge problem.
"If only Ye Qian was here. He's familiar with the people here, and it would be more convenient for him to borrow spirit beasts. Perhaps, we wouldn't have to queue up!" Luo Qiqi smiled bitterly.
"If only he was here, why would we be here? The royal family should have spirit beasts, so we could just get him to bring some over."
Yu Fei-er nodded.
In terms of spirit beasts, the Beast Hall had the most. However, the Miryu Empire royal family had quite a few aerial spirit beasts as well. Back then, Hong Shi and the others had boarded the royal family's flying ship to leave the Beast Hall.
If Ye Qian was here, given his identity as the crown prince, he could easily borrow one or two powerful spirit beasts.
With so many people here, it was simply too troublesome to find a suitable spirit beast.
"Forget it, the procedures to borrow spirit beasts from the empire are extremely complicated, and we have to repay a favor on top of that. Why don't we just reveal our identity and look for the hall master of the Beast Hall?"
Luo Qiqi said.
Given Yu Fei-er's identity, even if Ye Qian wasn't around, she could easily borrow a few spirit beasts from Ye Wentian.
However, as the princess of the Hongyuan Empire and a master teacher, she would surely owe the other party a favor if she were to ask for one. Thus, she might as well just rent a spirit beast from the Beast Hall.
While others had to queue up to rent a spirit beast from the Beast Hall, master teachers didn't have to. This was a privilege!
Besides, they were 5-star master teachers, so they could easily look for the hall master or a superior beast tamer and spirit beast.
"Let's head over!"
After which, Luo Qiqi took a few steps forward. Suddenly, she recalled something and stopped. Turning to the young man not too far away, she asked, "Zhang Shi, you're a beast tamer. Do you know anyone here?"
"This is my first time here, so how could I possibly know anyone here?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
This was his first time coming to Huanyu Capital, and he hadn't been out since then. How could he possibly find anyone he knew?
"That's true..."
Recalling that Zhang Shi had arrived later than them, even a beast tamer couldn't possibly know anyone here.
"Alright then!"
Sighing, Luo Qiqi scanned the surroundings. Just as she was about to ask someone where she could find the manager of the Beast Hall, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded.
"Zhang Shi... Why are you here?"
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw an elder walking over excitedly.
"Hall Master Han?"
Upon seeing the elder, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He was the hall master of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance Beast Hall, Han Chong, whom he met when taming the Demon Cinque Beast back then!
Why was he here?
"It's all thanks to Zhang Shi's treatment that I was able to defeat Luo Ming in the competition and obtain the opportunity to study in the Miryu Empire..."
Han Chong said with a smile.
He had suffered from internal injuries in the past, and he had been bent on taming the Demon Cinque Beast to defeat it. Eventually, he met Zhang Xuan. Not only did the latter save him, the latter even treated his internal injuries, allowing him to achieve a breakthrough. Only then did he have the opportunity to enter the higher tier Beast Hall and study more profound beast taming knowledge.
It could be said that Zhang Xuan was his benefactor.
Without Zhang Shi, he wouldn't be where he was today!
He thought that it would be difficult for him to meet this genius ever again, but to think that he would actually meet him here.
"You are indeed stronger than me. I only helped you out along the way!"
After hearing Han Chong's explanation, Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
Back then, Zhang Xuan had indeed heard from Zhang Xuan that if not for this opportunity, he wouldn't have spent three whole years taming the Demon Cinque Beast.
"Zhang Shi, you're being too polite!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Han Chong asked, "Is Zhang Shi here to take the 5-star beast tamer examination, or..."
"Oh, we intend to head to Hongyuan Empire, and we would like to borrow a spirit beast with superior speed and agility!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled. "May I know if Hall Master Han is willing to help us?"
"That's simple. I'll bring you to the Beast Region!"
Hearing that it was just a small matter, Han Chong hurriedly nodded.
Even though he was from the Myriad Kingdom Alliance branch, as a former hall master, his standing wasn't low. It wasn't a big deal for him to help Zhang Xuan find a spirit beast.
"Thank you, Hall Master Han!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony, Zhang Shi. Also, you don't have to call me hall master anymore. I'm just an ordinary 4-star beast tamer here! You can just call me Beast Tamer Han. "
Han Chong shook his head.
He was the hall master of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance branch, and there were many beast tamers of a higher rank than him here. As such, he could only be considered as an ordinary beast tamer.
Addressing him as' hall master 'would be overstepping his boundaries.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. Following behind Han Chong, they headed to the Beast Region where the spirit beasts were kept.
Seeing how Zhang Xuan left happily with a 4-star beast tamer right after saying that he didn't know anyone, Yu Fei-er and Luo Qiqi glanced at one another, and their eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
You say that you don't know anyone?
Who are you trying to fool!
Why is this Zhang Shi so righteous at times, but at other times, so unreliable?
