"You're done learning it?"
Everyone was stunned.
This was especially so for the elder. His face turned livid.
Others might not know how many books there were in the room, but he was well aware of them.
Over the past fifty years, he had gathered all sorts of books on the Language of Beasts through the help of the guild. There were at least several hundred thousand of them, and even he had to spend an entire ten years before he could finish reading them all. Yet, the other party walked in less than ten minutes and said that... he was done!
Even if he was lying, he should at least be more reliable!
"What do you mean by done?" The elder harrumphed.
"Oh, it means that... I've roughly mastered it, so there shouldn't be any problems with basic communication..."
Zhang Xuan.
As soon as he entered the room, he had started searching for books. In just a few minutes, he had already memorized several hundred thousand books in the Library of Heaven's Path. Then, through the Library of Heaven's Path, he found the correct content.
With a quick search, he managed to find quite a few books.
Even though there were many conjectures in these books, and most of them were scribbles written haphazardly, the sheer number of books allowed him to compile quite a few correct phrases.
There was an entire book that covered the common phrases of the ancient beast language, as well as the way to pronounce them. While it might be difficult for Zhang Xuan to comprehend these, it shouldn't be a problem for him to communicate with others.
"You're saying that... there shouldn't be any problems with basic communication?" Hearing the other party's words, the elder's face turned livid. "Nonsense!"
He had been studying for fifty years, but he hadn't learned anything at all. Yet, the moment he opened his mouth, the red-furred hamster vomited its guts out. Yet, you're saying that you've mastered it in just a short while?
If that's the case, have all my years of research been wasted on a dog or a pig?
Even if you're lying, you should at least be more reliable!
"I..."
Knowing that he would be doubted if he were to speak the truth, Zhang Xuan was just about to explain himself when a young man suddenly rushed into the room.
"Elder, bad news! That... Great Violetwing Beast is here again!"
"Again?"
The elder's face darkened. "Lead the way!"
"Yes!" The young man hurriedly walked out, and the elder followed closely behind him.
Seeing him leave in a hurry, Zhang Xuan glanced at Luo Qiqi and the others before following him. "Let's go and take a look as well!"
Since the Great Violetwing Beast was already at half-9-dan, it would definitely be of great help to him if he could tame it. If he were to head to the Hongyuan Empire, he would be able to reach there much faster.
"Yes!" Han Chong also knew the severity of the matter, so he hurried over.
While chatting with him on the way, Zhang Xuan learned that his teacher's surname was Qian, and he was one of the more esteemed elders of the Beast Hall.
As the Great Violetwing Beast was related to him, every time it appeared, he would rush over to deal with it. Even though it hadn't been long since Han Chong came to the Beast Hall, he had experienced this several times already.
Therefore, he had a deep impression of this big fellow.
"That fellow is either wreaking havoc or killing other spirit beasts as soon as it arrives, causing many customers to complain about it!" Speaking of the Great Violetwing Beast, even Han Chong couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
It was one thing for it to injure customers, but more importantly, it had injured many spirit beasts as well. There were some who had queued up for several days before they could finally get their hands on a spirit beast, but due to its injuries, they were unable to move. This had caused the reputation of the Beast Hall to plummet.
The Beast Hall had set up plenty of traps, but every single time, that fellow seemed to know about them beforehand. On top of that, it possessed incredible strength. Even if it fell into an encirclement, it would still be able to escape successfully and return with even more ferocity.
They had also reported this matter to the headquarters, and the Hongyuan Empire Beast Hall had dispatched a 6-star beast tamer to deal with the Great Violetwing Beast. However, knowing that it was dangerous, that fellow didn't appear for several months. As soon as the 6-star beast tamer left, it would immediately return.
This happened several times, and even though everyone in the Beast Hall was helpless, they could only allow the other party to wreak havoc. However, every single time, Elder Qian would be the one to deal with it.
But strangely enough, as long as Elder Qian was there, no matter how ferocious the Great Violetwing Beast was, it would turn around and leave, not daring to lay a finger on him.
All this while, Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out the reason behind this. He thought that it was due to his teacher's superior beast taming ability that the Great Violetwing Beast didn't dare to make a move on him. However, from the looks of it now, it was probably related to the death of the Draconic Granite Beast.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Great Violetwing Beast must have made a promise to the Draconic Granite Beast. Even though it was displeased with his teacher, it didn't dare to do anything to harm him.
"It's right ahead!"
After chatting for a moment, Han Chong's eyebrows shot up, and he hurriedly rushed forward. Zhang Xuan and the others followed closely behind him, and soon, they saw a massive violet spirit beast circling in the air. On its thick claws was a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan little fellow.
Elder Qian was standing not too far away with an anxious look on his face.
Not too far away from Elder Qian were eight white-bearded elders, and the one at the very center bore a striking resemblance to Qin Zhong. Most likely, he was Hall Master Qin.
"I didn't expect that fellow to return so quickly..."
Behind the white-bearded elders, Zhang Xuan saw a familiar face.
It was the 'incapable of flight' Qin Zhong.
He thought that it would take some time for that fellow to return after losing his spirit beast, but who could have thought that he would already be at the Beast Hall?
"That Draconic Granite Beast must have gone to fetch him..."
Luo Qiqi whispered.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
They had released the Draconic Granite Beast as soon as they arrived at the Beast Hall. Knowing that its master was still unconscious in the pit, it was bound to save him.
The Beast Hall wasn't too far away, so it didn't take long for it to make a round trip.
At this moment, Qin Zhong's body was wrapped in bandages. Even though his injuries were severe, they weren't life-threatening.
His eyes were fixated on the Great Violetwing Beast in the air, oblivious to the presence of his enemy.
...
"Hurry up and put it down. Even if there's a conflict between us, I hope that you won't implicate the Beast Hall. Otherwise, even if the Draconic Granite Beast comes back to life, it won't be happy..."
Elder Qian clenched his fists tightly as he stared at the Great Violetwing Beast in the air.
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the mention of the Draconic Granite Beast, the massive fellow in the air bared its fangs. Not only did it not release its grip on the spirit beast, it even tightened its grip, as if it would crush it to death at any moment.
"Elder Qian, Hall Master Zhang, please save my spirit beast..."
A 4-star beast tamer stared at the sky anxiously, and he was on the verge of tears.
Clearly, the spirit beast in the air was his tamed beast.
It took him so much effort to tame it. If it were to be crushed to death, all of his hard work would go to waste.
"Beast Tamer Li, don't worry. I'll definitely save it..."
Elder Qian consoled.
He knew how painful it was to have his tamed beast killed, and he didn't want his juniors to follow in his footsteps.
"Great Violetwing Beast, as long as you release it, the Beast Bloodstone is still a spirit stone. As long as it's within my means, I'll do anything!"
After consoling the other party, Elder Qian turned to the sky and said.
"Elder Qian, you mustn't agree to it. You've already given away all of your savings over the years. If this goes on, I fear that your cultivation will be affected..."
Hearing those words, Hall Master Qin couldn't help but frown.
Given Elder Qian's talent, he should have been able to reach Transcendent Mortal 9-dan by now. However, it was a pity that he had given away all of his savings to that fellow, resulting in a lack of cultivation resources.
On the other hand, that fellow had made use of those resources to achieve a breakthrough to half-9-dan every once in a while.
If Hall Master Qin continued to nourish the Great Violetwing Beast, that fellow would only grow stronger and stronger, and it would pose a greater threat to the Beast Hall.
"I'm the one who owes the Draconic Granite Beast..."
Elder Qian shook his head.
"But..." Hall Master Qin's face turned livid.
"There are no buts. If not for the Draconic Granite Beast, I would have long been dead. It's already a huge favor for me to be able to survive for so long. Putting aside my savings, even if I were to die right now, as long as it can appease it, I'm willing to do so!"
With a resolute gaze, Elder Qian flicked his wrist, and a pile of Beast Bloodstone, middle-tier spirit stones, and some valuable medicinal herbs appeared before him.
There wasn't a lot of them, so it seemed like the elder had really plundered everything he had in the past few years.
"You are the one who owes the Draconic Granite Beast, but you don't owe the Great Violetwing Beast. Elder Qian, it's indeed inappropriate for you to do so!"
Just as Elder Qian was about to pass the remaining items to the massive fellow in the sky, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
Hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads over, only to see a young man walking over.
"Father, he's the one who put me in such a state... You mustn't let him off!"
Not expecting that fellow to strut right in front of them, Qin Zhong's eyes turned green in anger.
"Him?" Hall Master Qin's face darkened. He turned to Elder Qian and asked, "Elder Qian, do you know this young man?"
"He's Han Chong's benefactor, a 4-star master teacher and beast tamer..."
Elder Qian frowned. Turning to the young man, he waved his hands and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If you wish to continue borrowing the spirit beast, please leave immediately!"
The young man walking over was none other than Zhang Xuan.
Seeing how Elder Qian was bent on compromising, he felt helpless, so he stepped forward.
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan was just about to say something when Yu Fei-er's voice sounded from behind.
"What if we don't leave?"
"If we don't leave, don't even think about borrowing the spirit beast anymore..."
Flinging his hands, Elder Qian was just about to finish his words when Hall Master Qin's face suddenly paled, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
At the same time, he shot a glance at Elder Qian and said, "Cough cough, Elder Qian, don't be in such a hurry to speak..."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Hall Master Qin acting so strangely, Elder Qian was perplexed. However, before he could ask anything, the young lady behind Zhang Shi had already walked up to Hall Master Qin, and she smiled faintly.
"If I recall correctly, your name is Qin Zhao, right? So, you're the head of the Beast Hall here! "
"Qin Zhao pays respect to Princess Yu Fei-er!"
Hall Master Qin's face paled, and he hurriedly clasped his fist.
"You still recognize me?" Harrumphing coldly, Yu Fei-er placed her hands behind her back, exuding the authority befitting of a princess.
"I... accompanied my teacher to the royal palace, and I was fortunate enough to meet Your Highness once..."
Hall Master Qin Zhao hurriedly clasped his fist. However, before he could finish his words, the furious roar of his severely injured son sounded once more.
"Father, it's that woman and that young man. They're in cahoots with one another, and none of them are good people. You must stand up for me..."
Qin Zhong was blocked by the crowd, so he wasn't able to see his father's attitude clearly. Thinking that his father was going to stand up for him, his eyes reddened in excitement.
While he was overjoyed, Hall Master Qin staggered upon hearing those words, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
Don't call me that...
I'm not your father, but you're my father...
Everyone else is a filial son, but you're a scammer!
