"Beast Hall?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Un. There are many saint beast blood essences stored in the Beast Hall. As long as a qualified beast tamer is willing to pay a certain price, it is possible to exchange for them!" the Myriad Anthive Queen said.
"Alright, I'll take the 6-star beast tamer examination now and exchange some for you!"
Hearing that the Saint realm Myriad Anthive Queen blood essence had such an effect, Zhang Xuan left the Myriad Anthive Nest without any hesitation. After which, he took a look at Wei Ruyan and saw that she was recovering swiftly. The Bodhi Saint Tree wasn't poisoned either, so he heaved a sigh of relief.
Leaving the royal palace, Zhang Xuan headed for the Master Teacher Academy.
Naturally, it would be more convenient for him to look for Elder Mi for the beast tamer examination. As for the Hongyuan Empire Beast Hall, he didn't even know where it was located, needless to say, he couldn't find it.
Arriving at the Beast Tamer School, Zhang Xuan found Elder Mi seated in his room with a deep frown on his forehead. It seemed like there was something bothering him that he needed to deal with.
"Principal Zhang!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Elder Mi hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him.
"Elder Mi, there's no need to stand on ceremony. The reason why I'm here is to take the 6-star beast tamer examination …" Zhang Xuan explained the reason for his visit.
"6-star beast tamer?"
Elder Mi was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head with a bitter smile. "Principal Zhang, you must be joking. Since you were able to tame even Senior Byzantium Helios, you are already qualified to be a Seven Star beast tamer. I have already applied to the headquarters, and I have received a reply. It's just that the emblem hasn't arrived yet!"
The Byzantium Helios Beast had already reached Saint 2-dan Spiritual Perception realm, and only Seven Star beast tamers were capable of taming it. Since Zhang Xuan had succeeded, it meant that he already possessed the ability to tame it.
"Seven Star beast tamer?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He was still intending to take the 6-star examination, but who could have thought that Elder Mi would have already applied for a Seven Star beast tamer examination on his behalf?
This was good as well. It would save him a lot of trouble.
"Thank you. Since the headquarters has already agreed to it, I have a favor to ask of you … I would like to exchange some Saint realm Myriad Anthive Queen blood essence!" Zhang Xuan said.
"The blood of a Saint-level Thousand Anthive Queen?" Elder Mi frowned.
"En!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Elder Mi paused for a moment before saying, "The blood of the other saint beasts isn't too difficult to negotiate, and the price isn't too high either. However, the blood of the Myriad Anthive Queen won't be that easy to obtain!"
"Not easy to exchange?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
Since they were all saint beasts, there shouldn't be too much of a difference between them. Why would the Myriad Anthive Queen be so difficult to deal with?
"The Thousand Anthive Queens are already rare in the first place, so it's only natural that there are even fewer of them who can break through to Saint realm!"
Noticing the doubts in Zhang Xuan's eyes, Elder Mi explained, "More importantly, the Anthive Queen possesses the ability to create spatial rifts. It's simply too rare … Even if the headquarter has one, I'm afraid that they'll have to pay an exorbitant price for it!"
"A huge price?"
"Un. Even if Zhang Shi is a Seven Star Beast Tamer, he would still have to fork out several thousand high-tier spirit stones or even more …" Elder Mi shook his head bitterly.
The price of purchasing the blood essence of a Saint-level Thousand Anthive Queen was simply too high. It was so high that it was impossible for them to afford it.
"Several thousand high-tier spirit stones?"
Zhang Xuan's lips twitched.
It wasn't easy for him to obtain several hundred high-tier spirit stones from Wu Xu and the others, and he thought that he was a tycoon. However, upon hearing the price, he realized that he was still a pauper.
Furthermore, this was under the condition that he was a Seven Star Beast Tamer. If it were an outsider, the price would be at least double.
The higher the rank of the members of the Beast Hall, the cheaper the blood essence would be. This was a rule set by the Beast Hall.
"Actually … there are ways to obtain it even if you can't afford it, just that … it's more difficult!"
Halfway through his words, School Head Mo suddenly paused.
"Oh?" Seeing that there was still a way, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Elder Mi.
"It's simple. You just have to contribute sufficiently to the Beast Hall. As long as your contribution is sufficient, we can bestow the blood essence to you …" Elder Mi said.
"Contribution?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"That's right. Providing the blood essence of rare spirit beasts or saint beasts to the Beast Hall, or completing missions given by the Beast Hall … Both of these can be considered as contribution!" Elder Mi continued.
"Providing the blood essence of rare spirit beasts?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The Beast Hall had been around for many years, and most of the saint beasts and spirit beasts on the continent had been collected. Even if there were any rare ones, he didn't have the time to look for them.
"The first condition is indeed difficult, unless one is extremely lucky. The second condition is that the Beast Hall rarely issues missions, and even if they do, it's unlikely that we will be the one to receive them … "
Elder Mi smiled bitterly.
It wasn't easy to earn contribution points for an inherited occupation. Otherwise, there would have been many people fighting over it.
"School Head Mo, I can't hold on any longer. Hurry up and think of a solution …"
Just as Elder Mi was about to continue speaking, hurried footsteps sounded from outside, and an elder rushed into the room.
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, he hurriedly bowed and greeted, "School Head Mo!"
He was the head of the Blacksmith School, Zhao Bingxu.
"Elder Zhao, what do you mean by you can't hold on any longer?"
Zhang Xuan asked in bewilderment.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Elder Mi frowning. He had thought that it was just some trivial matter, but based on Zhao Bingxu's words, it seemed like it wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Oh, it's nothing. School Head Mo, just wait for the inauguration ceremony tomorrow. We'll deal with the trivial matters in advance …"
Zhao Bingxu chuckled dryly.
"Indeed, School Head Mo. We'll deal with it ourselves …" Elder Mi hurriedly nodded.
"What happened?" Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
The two of them were the heads of the Master Teacher Academies, as well as Saint 1-dan pinnacle experts. For such figures to have such a worried look on their faces, it was likely that something big had happened.
Even though Zhang Xuan wasn't interested in many affairs, he was still the current principal of the Master Teacher Academy.
"This …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's question, the two elders glanced at one another hesitantly.
A moment later, Elder Mi sighed and said, "It's a beast stampede from the Cloudmist Mountain!"
"Cloudmist Mountain? Beast stampede? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Un. The spirit beasts and saint beasts of the Cloudmist Mountain have always maintained a peaceful relationship with our Hongyuan City. However, some time ago, for some reason, they suddenly went berserk and went around hunting hunters and cultivators in the mountain range."
Elder Mi said. "The Master Teacher Academy received their request and sent their men to warn them. However, not only did the other party not repent, they even turned out in full force, resulting in a beast stampede! They even encircled and assaulted the master teachers of the academy. Left with no choice, they could only dispatch all of the students of the Beast Tamer School to defend against the beast stampede. Currently, both sides are clashing in the Hongyuan Mountain Range … It has been an entire day since then, and they are already on the verge of collapsing! "
"They are on the verge of collapsing …" Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
He could guess the reason why the saint beasts and spirit beasts of the Cloudmist Mountain had gone berserk.
Most likely, it had something to do with the Earth Vein Spirit Essence that he had stolen.
He had thought that those fellows would remain in the mountain range peacefully, but who could have thought that they would charge out and clash with the Master Teacher Academy?
"Bring me to take a look!"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
Since he was the one who had caused this matter, there was no way he would back down.
"Principal Zhang, you mustn't go. You haven't undergone the ceremony yet, and you aren't strong enough yet. If the other party were to learn of your identity, you might be besieged!"
Zhao Bingxu immediately shook his head.
The reason why they hadn't informed Zhang Xuan of such a huge matter was due to his lack of strength at the moment. If he were to reveal that he was the principal of the Cloudmist Mountain Range, there was a high chance that he would be ambushed. If he were to reveal that he was the principal of the Cloudmist Mountain Range, he might even end up disappearing from the academy once more.
Thus, they wanted to resolve the matter themselves so that the other party wouldn't be affected by it.
Besides, they wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible so as to leave a good mark for the new principal.
"Where is it? Otherwise, I'll head there myself!"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
He was the one who had caused this calamity, so he couldn't allow the students of the academy to die because of it.
"This …"
Seeing how resolute Zhang Xuan was, the two elders glanced at one another and sighed deeply. "Alright, we'll bring you there. However, I hope that you won't panic and reveal your identity … This isn't the first beast stampede in the Cloudmist Mountain Range, so there should be a way to suppress it!"
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
Elder Mi summoned his Inferno Dragon Saint Beast over, and the three of them stepped onto it before heading straight for the Hongyuan Mountain Range.
"How's the situation at the moment?"
Standing on the back of the Inferno Dragon Saint Beast, Zhang Xuan turned to Zhao Bingxu and asked.
"It doesn't look too good … The beast stampede this time around is far more severe than the previous ones. The spirit beasts seem to have organized themselves into orderly soldiers, and they are attacking us from all sides. Our students are being forced into a passive position!"
Zhao Bingxu hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Organized?"
"Un. If I'm not mistaken, the saint beasts of the Cloudmist Mountain Range have made their move as well. Only with their command can we maintain such fighting prowess … "
Zhao Bingxu nodded.
After a long moment of silence, Zhang Xuan asked, "How are the casualties?"
"It's very severe. The Beast Tamer School is the fourth strongest school in the Master Teacher Academy, and there are more than twenty thousand students in it. Other than those who are participating in the training, almost all of them have participated in the battle. Currently, nearly half of them are injured. However, there aren't too many casualties, only a few dozen!"
Zhao Bingxu replied.
"A few dozen?" Zhang Xuan's body stiffened.
"That's right!" This time, the one who replied wasn't Zhao Bingxu but Elder Mi.
While they were speaking, the saint beasts had already arrived above the battlefield in the Hongyuan Mountain Range. Through the window, Zhang Xuan looked down and saw countless spirit beasts diving down from the mountain range. Countless master teachers and students rushed forward to meet them head-on, and an intense battle broke out.
Many of the students were severely injured, but they didn't back down. Instead, they became even more ferocious, fearless in the face of death.
Zhang Xuan's body trembled in agitation.
He saw two familiar faces. They were Senior Feng and Yu Cheng, who had gotten into a conflict with one another back at Leiyuan Peak. At this moment, the two of them were drenched in blood, and one of Yu Cheng's arms was even severed. Yet, he still didn't back down. Instead, he gritted his teeth and charged forward with bloodshot eyes.
This was a stark contrast to the selfishness he had displayed when he fought with Zhang Xuan previously.
He also saw a few of the students who had fought with one another in the Master Teacher Academy previously fighting side by side with one another, their backs leaning against one another.
"They can have conflicts with one another, and they can even do things that go against their morals, but … in the face of the calamity that befalls mankind, they will band together without any hesitation and charge forward without hesitation. Even if they have to sacrifice their lives, they won't hesitate to do so!"
Noticing Zhang Xuan's shock, Elder Mi said grimly, "This is because this is their duty and responsibility! This is because they share a common name … "
"… Master teacher!"
