Hu!
The Transcendent Mortal 7-dan aerial spirit beast stopped in front of the straw hut, and with a flap of its wings, it swept up a cloud of snow.
"Roar!"
The aerial spirit beast stood up and roared furiously.
If it had been any other beast tamer, they would surely have been unable to understand what the aerial spirit beast was saying. However, Zhang Xuan was proficient in the Ancient Beast Language, so he was able to understand the entire conversation.
"Lord, I have already followed your instructions and trapped those master teachers! There are at least two to three hundred of them, and there are at most a thousand of them. They are unable to escape for the time being, and most of them are already injured! "
The aerial spirit beast replied.
Upon reaching Transcendent Mortal realm, spirit beasts possessed intelligence on par with humans. Even though they were unable to set up formations or forge weapons like humans, they possessed their own thoughts and were able to follow orders.
Take Zhang Xuan's current tamed beast, the Great Violetwing Beast, for example. For the sake of the Draconic Granite Beast, it was willing to wait for fifty years, even going so far as to cause trouble for the Miryu Empire Beast Hall.
"They are indeed encircling the master teachers!"
Hearing the words of the aerial spirit beast, Zhang Xuan's face turned livid.
This aerial spirit beast had already reached Transcendent Mortal 7-dan, and it was capable of flight. If it were to make a move, the master teachers would surely be caught off guard!
Most of the master teachers who had come to take the examination were at Clarifying Turbidity realm pinnacle. Even if a portion of them had reached Consonant Spirit realm, they would still be no match for this aerial spirit beast!
Not to mention, it was also commanding innumerable vicious spirit beasts!
There were at least two to three hundred of them, and at most a thousand of them. It seemed like the master teachers he had saved were only the minority. There were bound to be more master teachers who had fallen into the other party's trap.
Since these two fellows dared to lay their hands on the freshmen of the Master Teacher Academy, it was likely that they had a close relationship with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"Well done!"
The Byzantium Helios Beast climbed up from the straw hut, and with a leap, it walked out.
On its grayish skin, thick fur stood up one after another. Even though it hadn't released its cultivation, it felt as if its strength was as deep as the abyss, making it difficult for one to see through it.
"Eye of Insight!"
Zhang Xuan tried to peer into the Byzantium Helios Beast's cultivation, but he realized that he couldn't see through it at all.
"You can't see through it? Could it be that … he has reached Transcendent Mortal 9-dan or perhaps … surpassed it? "
Even though Zhang Xuan was only at Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle at the moment, his fighting prowess was already comparable to that of a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan primary stage cultivator. With a single glance, he was able to see through spirit beasts of that level, and even those who had reached Transcendent Mortal 9-dan, as well.
On the other hand, the spirit beast before him was as massive as a mountain. Could it be that it was a Transcendent Mortal 9-dan spirit beast, or perhaps … it had surpassed that level?
Surpassing the ninth level was equivalent to the Half-saint Realm!
A spiritual beast of this level could already be considered a sacred beast.
It was no wonder Zhang Xuan had never heard of such a high-tier lifeform. After all, a low-tier Beast Hall like the Miryu Empire wasn't qualified to record it.
Astonished, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight slightly, and it immediately caught the attention of the Byzantium Helios Beast.
Zhang Xuan hastily stopped his observation and tightly closed all the acupoints in his body.
Even if it wasn't a Half-Saint saint beast, it was still a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan saint beast. Given his current strength, he wouldn't be able to deal with it!
The Heaven's Path zhenqi was incomparably pure, and with his superior control over his physical body, even a Saint would find it hard to notice him.
The Byzantium Helios Beast glanced at him, but it didn't seem to notice anything amiss. Thus, it turned its attention back to the aerial spirit beast.
"Did any master teachers notice it?"
The Byzantium Helios Beast asked.
"No one noticed it. However, the two hundred master teachers who were trapped in the Sky of Sliver have been rescued, and …"
At this point, the aerial spirit beast seemed to be finding the matter hard to believe.
"What?"
The Byzantium Helios Beast looked at Zhang Xuan with an imposing aura. Even the weather above the mountain seemed to have darkened.
"It's a saint beast!"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Even though he didn't pay any further attention to the aerial spirit beast, he had felt this aura from the Elder Mi before.
Without a doubt, it had reached Saint realm, not Half-Saint or Nascent Saint!
It was a true Saint!
For a Saint-tier spirit beast to make a move against so many freshmen …
Cold sweat trickled down Zhang Xuan's back!
Given the Byzantium Helios Beast's strength, even if all of the freshmen were to work together, they wouldn't be a match for it. Not to mention, these freshmen came from all over the world, and they weren't united at all.
"Furthermore, these spirit beasts have severed their connection with me. It seems like … they have betrayed us!"
The aerial spirit beast said anxiously.
"Severed their connection with me? How dare you betray me, how dare you … "
The Byzantium Helios Beast narrowed its eyes. "Which spirit beasts did they betray? After this matter is over, I will teach them a lesson! "
"They are the Blueback Ferocious Bear, Steelfang Panther, Southern Yellow Tiger, Golden Arm Ape … I have also lost contact with the Myriad Anthive Queen!"
The aerial spirit beast continued.
"Lost contact? What do you mean by that? Did you check on it? "
The Byzantium Helios Beast asked.
The Myriad Anthive Queen was its source of intelligence. Even though it was a saint beast, it was impossible for it to cover the entire Leiyuan Peak with its consciousness.
"Most likely, it has been killed!"
The aerial spirit beast bellowed furiously. "I lost contact with the Myriad Anthive Queen, so I flew over to its nest and saw two master teachers furtively packing up the Beastscale Incense …"
"Beastscale Incense? That thing has a dizzying effect. Are they intending to make a move on the Myriad Anthive Queen? "the Byzantium Helios Beast bellowed furiously.
"That should be the case. After knocking those two fellows out, I entered the nest and searched around. There were signs of a battle, but the Myriad Anthive Queen was nowhere to be seen. Thus, in a fit of rage, I snatched their storage rings!"
The aerial spirit beast hurriedly explained. "I am a spirit beast, so I am unable to cultivate zhenqi. As such, I am unable to determine if the Myriad Anthive Queen has been captured or killed by them!"
After saying those words, the aerial spirit beast flicked its massive claws, and two storage rings flew over to the Byzantium Helios Beast.
In order to activate a storage ring, one had to first kill the owner of the storage ring before using one's zhenqi to open it. However, the aerial spirit beast didn't kill Senior Feng and Brother Yu, and it didn't have any zhenqi in its body either, so it was unable to open the storage ring.
"Let me take a look!"
As a saint beast, the Byzantium Helios Beast had many means at its disposal. Taking the storage ring, it stroked the surface of the ring with its massive paw.
Following which, its powerful soul entered the storage ring.
A moment later, it shook its head and said, "The Myriad Anthive Queen isn't inside, and it doesn't have an inner core either. Most likely, it has escaped. Go and look for it!"
"Yes!" Hearing that its companion was fine, the aerial spirit beast heaved a sigh of relief.
While the aerial spirit beast was forcefully wiping away the Soul Imprint on the storage ring, two figures lying on the ground suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood and woke up.
They were 'Brother Yu' and Senior Feng, who had been knocked out by the aerial spirit beast earlier.
Having their Soul Imprint forcefully wiped away, even they felt a splitting headache and sustained some internal injuries.
"Our clothes … Storage rings …"
Lowering their heads to take a look, they felt as if they were on the verge of going insane.
Fearing that they might have other storage rings on them, the aerial spirit beast had even stripped them of their clothes. At this moment, not only were they stripped of their possessions, they were also completely naked.
"What in the world happened?"
They were here to capture the aerial spirit beast, but the aerial spirit beast ended up stripping them naked and leaving them here … and even snatching away their storage rings … Can anyone tell us what happened?
Could it be that … the aerial spirit beast was also raping them as well?
They hurriedly lowered their heads to take a look, and upon realizing that they hadn't been violated, they heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, tears began flowing down their cheeks.
It was just a moment ago that they had vowed to challenge Zhang Xuan to a duel, but now that things had turned out this way, how could they possibly compete with him?
Putting aside competing, if they didn't find a spirit beast to hunt, they wouldn't even have a single point to clear the examination!
What in the world was this?
The other master teachers had gathered beast hides, bones, and even inner cores, but they had tossed away their storage rings and clothes, leaving them completely naked …
It was fortunate that no one had seen them, or else there would be no need for them to take the examination at all.
Standing up, 'Brother Yu' hurriedly found a leaf to cover his private parts before speaking with a look of indignation. "Let's find a spirit beast and find a way to kill it before making some clothes … Let's find a way to earn some points first!"
"Un!"
Senior Feng hurriedly nodded.
The urgent matter at hand was for them to find something to wear. Otherwise, even if there weren't many people around, it would still be embarrassing for them to wander around the mountain naked!
"It's fortunate that I still have the Beastscale Incense with me. I should be able to deal with Cosmos Bridge realm spirit beasts …"
After putting on the leaf, 'Brother Yu' felt a little more refreshed. Lowering his head, he saw that the half-burnt Beastscale Incense was still there. The spirit beast that had assaulted them hadn't taken it away.
Seeing that they still had it, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
At the very least, they weren't completely broke. With this, they might even have a chance to turn the tables.
After all, even though Zhang Shi wasn't weak, it would still be difficult for him to defeat a Cosmos Bridge realm intermediate stage spirit beast. On the other hand, with this incense, they might be able to defeat the spirit beast and obtain its inner core.
"Let's hurry up!"
With a stomp of their feet, the two of them rushed up the mountain peak without caring about anything else.
The higher the mountain, the higher the tier of the spirit beast. Only then would they have a chance to turn the tables. Otherwise, they would have to admit defeat.
As their speed increased, the leaves on their bodies began to rise, revealing their snow-white and pitch-black skin …
…
"As long as the Myriad Anthive Queen is still alive, it will surely send its Myriad Ants to inform us. Since it isn't around, we might have to trouble you to make a few more trips. Make sure that nothing goes wrong!"
The Byzantium Helios Beast said.
"Don't worry!"
The flying-type spirit beast nodded its huge head and made a solemn vow.
Without the Myriad Anthive Queen to relay the message, they could only rely on this aerial spirit beast to patrol the area and relay the news.
"Let's go down!"
The Byzantium Helios Beast waved its massive paw.
"Yes!" The aerial spirit beast replied. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, and a moment later, it disappeared from sight. Most likely, it had descended the mountain.
After the aerial spirit beast left, the Byzantium Helios Beast's muscles tensed up, and its massive body floated into the air. It turned its head to the side, and a sharp glint flashed through its eyes.
"That fellow hiding there, you can come out now!"
This time, it wasn't speaking the Beast Language but the human language.
"I have been discovered …"
Hearing those words and seeing that the other party was looking in his direction, Zhang Xuan's body tensed up, and his blood immediately turned cold.
He thought that he had hidden himself well, but who could have thought that … he would still be discovered!
