"Fortunately, I, Chen Cheng, am calm and collected. No matter how smart you are, what can you do to me without evidence? And that Lin Jin, I didn't expect him to become a Rank 2 beast appraiser. My uncle, Chen Wenlin, is trying to curry favor with those in power. Now that Lin Jin has made a comeback, he's shamelessly trying to get close to him again. How can I let him have his way? Since all of you look down on me, I'll mess things up for all of you. "
At this thought, Chen Cheng laughed out loud.
It was just that his laughter was very sinister.
At this moment, Yang Jie had already gone to his teacher's quiet room to study alone.
This was a privilege no one else had.
Yang Jie's mentor, Ye Yuzhou, was a famous friar. He was ranked number one among all the mentors in Maple City's Friar Association.
One was the number one mentor while the other was the number one disciple. Yang Jie's way of doing things was obviously learned from Ye Yuzhou.
The place where Ye Yuzhou cultivated was very special. It was built on top of a pond. Half of the floor was empty, and below it was the pond water.
Inside the room, an elderly man was sitting cross-legged. There were eight cloud patterns on his robes, indicating that his blood contract had reached the eighth realm.
Yang Jie bowed before sitting down cross-legged.
Yang Jie's pet beast, the white peacock, stood obediently at the side. Even though it was a Rank 3 pet beast, it behaved obediently in this room. The white peacock was also staring at the pond water as if there was something in it.
"Today, I'll be talking about the path of pet beasts …"
Ye Yuzhou's lecture was incredibly profound. He was clearly imparting everything he knew to Yang Jie.
"Yang Jie, you must know that the highest level of a blood contract is the ninth realm. Nine is the limit and it's almost impossible to advance to the tenth realm. But even after reaching the ninth realm, the improvement to your physical body mainly depends on your pet beast. You will only be strong if your pet beast is strong. This is an unchanging principle."
"I understand."
"Come on, use the Qi Finger Sword Spell of the Spiritual Qi Finger. Let me see if you have improved."
"Yes!"
Yang Jie cast the skill and a sharp, imposing aura swept across the room.
However, Ye Yuzhou frowned as he watched.
"Yang Jie, I can see that your right arm isn't channeling energy smoothly. Are you injured?"
Yang Jie was stunned.
He had already tried his best to hide it, but he didn't expect his mentor to still see through it. Under Ye Yuzhou's interrogation, Yang Jie had no choice but to reveal his conflict with Lin Jin today.
Hearing this, Ye Yuzhou frowned.
"You're saying that when you were fighting with someone, for some reason, you felt a pain in your armpit, as if it was being pricked by needles, and then your arm went numb and didn't listen to you?"
Yang Jie nodded with a hint of shame on his face.
"Who is that Lin Jin? Whose disciple was he? Why haven't I heard of it before? "Ye Yuzhou was curious.
If there was someone in the Friar Association who could go against Yang Jie, he should have known about it.
At the mention of this, Yang Jie felt a little irritated but he still answered honestly, "That Lin Jin has only joined the association as a disciple today."
"You just joined today? Oh, she must have been recommended by a teacher. Who is it? "
"Mr. Huangfu."
"Is that him?"
Ye Yuzhou's expression turned ugly.
Just like Yang Jie and Lu Yunhe's relationship, Yang Jie and Huangfu Ming were like fire and water. They had always been competing openly and secretly, neither willing to submit to the other.
'If that's the case, then Lin Jin is Huangfu Ming's disciple. Great, I thought Huangfu Ming could only produce Lu Yunhe. Who knew he had another trump card up his sleeve? He's planning to embarrass me during the disciple's tournament. Yang Jie, from today onwards, follow me into seclusion for three days. I'll teach you the third form of the Finger Energy Blade, "Ye Yuzhou said in a low voice.
Yang Jie wanted to say that Lin Jin wasn't Huangfu Ming's disciple but after some thought, he decided against it. He too believed that Lin Jin and Huangfu Ming must be related. Otherwise, why would Huangfu Ming recommend him?
Upon hearing that Ye Yuzhou would teach him the third form of the Finger Energy Blade, Yang Jie's eyes lit up.
He had only learned the first two forms and wanted to learn the third form but Ye Yuzhou never taught him. Today, his mentor finally relented. Yang Jie had been eyeing the third form of the Finger Energy Blade for a long time now.
"Also, I've found some cultivation methods in some secret manuals. Perhaps you can impart them to pet beasts so they can cultivate and improve their realm. If that still doesn't work, I'll take you to visit some old friends at the Beast Appraisal Association Headquarters and ask for their help. Yang Jie, your white peacock has been stuck at Rank 3 for a long time now. If there's a chance for it to evolve, even if it's just showing signs of evolution, the improvement it will bring to you will far surpass the third form of the Finger Energy Blade. Like I said, the strength of your pet beast is the key. "
…
For the entire day, Lin Jin was fuming.
This rumor was too infuriating.
Now, everyone was saying that Lin Jin joined the Friar Association for Chen Yuanyuan's sake, planning to face off against Yang Jie, the number one prodigy. The rumors were so convincing.
However, Lin Jin knew that he shouldn't pay attention to rumors. The more he tried to ignore them, the stronger they would become.
'I'll endure this!'
At night, Lu Yunhe arrived with Lu Ba as promised. Whether Lu Ba could evolve into Rank 3 was of utmost importance to Lu Yunhe.
Naturally, Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong wouldn't miss out on such a great learning opportunity. They had arrived long ago to assist Lin Jin in brewing the pills.
"Brother, you're here!" Lu Xiaoyun greeted Lu Yunhe when she saw him enter.
Lu Yunhe was nervous.
He didn't know if his Lu Ba could evolve. Even after receiving Lin Jin's' affirmation ', he was still uncertain.
This was what it meant to be worried about personal gains and losses.
At this, Lu Xiaoyun knew what her brother was thinking so she said, "Brother, don't worry. If Master Lin says he can evolve, then he'll definitely evolve."
"I hope so!" Lu Yunhe stepped into the yard. However, he realized that Lu Ba wasn't following him.
Turning around, he saw Lu Ba trembling at the entrance.
"Lu Ba, come in." Lu Yunhe called out but the latter didn't budge. From the gale lion's gaze, it was obvious that it was looking at something in the yard.
Following the lion's gaze, Lu Yunhe saw Lin Jin's pet beast, Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo's eyes were closed and his body was slightly hunched as if he could pounce at any moment to attack an enemy. Lu Yunhe didn't know what he was doing in this posture but he could feel Xiao Huo's aura growing stronger bit by bit.
It was because of Xiao Huo's aura that Lu Ba was reminded of the fear he felt when he was dominated. He didn't dare to step into the yard.
In the end, it was Lin Jin who came out and carried the terrified Lu Ba inside.
"Brother Lu, your pet beast is too cowardly!" Lin Jin said. Lu Yunhe chuckled dryly, musing, 'Wasn't it all because of the beating he received back then? Before meeting your Xiao Huo, I, Lu Ba, have always been brave.'
"Alright, since you're here, let's begin." Lin Jin caressed Lu Ba's head to confirm the evolution method. Then, he took out his needles and with a flick of his wrist, he inserted more than a dozen needles into Lu Ba's body.
Lu Ba howled in pain but didn't dare to move. He endured the pain obediently.
