He had thought that it would take a lot of effort to capture his beloved beast, but it turned out to be an egg. Du Feng walked to the front of the egg and studied it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what it was. For a moment, he wanted to turn back and ride the White Tiger again. Xiao Bai was so excited that it spun a few rounds on the spot. However, the egg always had a magical attraction to it. In the end, Du Feng bit his middle finger and dripped his blood on it. This way, the beast would automatically recognize him as its master.
Oh no! Suddenly, a huge suction force came. Du Feng's finger seemed to be stuck to the eggshell, and he couldn't pull it off no matter what. He could only feel the blood in his body flowing out through the wound on his middle finger. It was like a water pipe that couldn't be stopped.
This beast had not even hatched and it was already sucking its master's blood. It would be hard to control it in the future. Du Feng knew that it couldn't leave until it was full, so he simply sat cross-legged on the spot and tried to remain calm. Fortunately, he had used the blood ginseng to strengthen his physique. Otherwise, he would have been sucked dry.
There was only the flickering golden halo left on the altar. The others had already moved far away. Bolts of lightning struck down, and all of them drilled into the halo. The brightness of the halo represented the life of the person inside. Now that it was flickering, it meant that Du Feng's life was in danger. Every time a bolt of lightning struck, Liu Fei's heart would twitch. Nothing must happen to Feng 'er. She hoped that he could survive this and soar into the sky.
"Why hasn't the Seventh Prince come out yet? Could he have died inside?"
"I heard that there was a general's son who wanted to subdue a high-ranked beast, but he died from the backlash …"
Everyone discussed and began to guess Du Feng's situation. Although everyone didn't like the decadent Seventh Prince, he had shown amazing talent and could be considered the new hope of Rong Tian Kingdom.
Oh no! If he came out alive, he would definitely bring out a super abnormal beast. It might even be a Divine Beast. At this moment, the Queen felt like there were ten thousand ants biting her heart. She wanted to kill Du Feng immediately. However, as the mother of the nation, if she were to make a move now, she would definitely incur the wrath of the masses. She would not be able to stay any longer.
The princes, especially the second brother of the monarch, Second Prince, had a different idea from the Queen. He was looking forward to Du Feng breaking out of his cocoon and rising up with a super beast. This way, she could suppress the thirteenth prince's limelight and prevent that woman from being arrogant.
"Die!"
The chief steward, who had been standing closer to the altar, suddenly leaped up and rushed towards the altar. His Cultivation had obviously reached the level of Qi Martial Arts. The Genuine Qi in his body was released, and with a whistling sound, he waved his palm towards the golden halo.
"How dare you!"
The golden halo was the portal to the Myriad Beast Garden. Once it was destroyed, the people inside would never be able to leave. At that time, even if Du Feng had a Transcendent Beast, he would still be trapped in the garden forever.
Even those who did not like Du Feng would not agree to kill a descendant of the monarch during the Royal Sacrificial Ceremony, not to mention that he was now the future star of the Du Family. The Second Prince was the first to make a move. He condensed his Qi into a weapon, and a Qi arrow appeared out of thin air. It was shot out at a speed faster than the speed of sound.
Condensing Qi into a weapon was a skill that could only be used by those who had reached the fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm. It was not as simple as releasing Genuine Qi, but also condensing Genuine Qi into the shape of a weapon. The chief steward was only at the second level of the Qi Martial Realm. Naturally, he would not be able to dodge the attack. The Qi around his body collapsed instantly. Just as he was about to attack the golden halo, the Qi arrow pierced through his head.
How dangerous. Seeing the shadow behind the chief steward gradually fading away, the Second Prince took a deep breath. If he succeeded in summoning his beast, Du Feng would probably never be able to come out.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and a small mushroom cloud rose from the altar. The chief steward knew that he would definitely die if he destroyed the Sacrificial Ceremony, so he decided to explode his Dan Tian at the last moment. The Second Prince thought that it would be foolproof to shoot an arrow through the head, but he did not expect the chief steward to have such a trick up his sleeve. The golden halo that was attacked became like a candle in the wind, and was about to be extinguished.
"Feng Er!"
Liu Fei felt a sharp pain in her heart. She fell from her seat. If Feng Er died, she would not want to live anymore. The Second Prince clenched his fists. He was so angry that the veins on his head were bulging. The chief steward was already dead. Although they knew that he was ordered by the Queen, they could not do anything about it. The whole place was abnormally quiet. It seemed that the last bit of golden light would be blown out in a single breath.
While the people outside were burning with anxiety, Du Feng was not having a good time inside either. One-third of his blood had been sucked out. If it was an ordinary person, they would have died. Fortunately, he had tempered his body, so his liver had a stronger hematopoietic function. After another struggle, he finally succeeded in subduing the egg with the cyan pattern.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Just when everyone thought that Du Feng was dead, he staggered out of the golden halo. His face was pale, and there was sweat on his forehead. He seemed to have gone through a lot. Thinking of the lightning that kept drilling in, everyone thought that he had captured a supreme beast, or even a god.
"Hahaha, the royal family will prosper. It's a sign that the royal family will prosper!"
In the Second Prince's opinion, the Seventh Prince must have subdued a supreme beast after staying in the Longevity Garden for such a long time and the appearance of the lightning.
"Second Uncle, don't be too happy. Look, there's no sign of a beast."
The Fifth Prince's words reminded everyone and woke up the Second Prince from his excitement. He took a closer look and confirmed that Du Feng did not come out on a beast.
According to the rules of the Garden of Beasts, once a beast was subdued, the person would automatically come out of the golden halo. Now that everyone saw Du Feng come out, they were naturally concerned about what beast he had brought out. Generally, the more ferocious the beast, the bigger it was. For example, Pang Zhen looked awesome when he rode the Iron Mountain Boar, and the Thirteenth Prince looked even more majestic when he appeared on the Lightning Tiger.
However, Du Feng did not come out on a beast at all. He only carried a strange egg.
"Damn it! It must be because of that old man's interference! "
The Second Prince flew into a rage. His body exploded with violent Qi, and the princes not far from him fell awkwardly, especially the Fifth Prince, who fell the most severely. Obviously, he disliked the Second Prince's foul mouth.
"Second Brother, calm down. You should be happy that the Seventh Prince succeeded in summoning a beast, hahaha …"
The Third Prince helped the Fifth Prince up and ridiculed the Second Prince. According to the rules of the royal family, as long as one could successfully summon a beast, no matter how low its level was, they could avoid being chased out of the palace. However, Du Feng had brought out an egg. Was he going to fuse with the egg to fight?
Fusing with a beast would not only give them the beast's strength, speed, and innate skills. They could also change their body shape, such as growing sharp claws or covering their body with scales, which would give them a great advantage in battle. In a situation like Du Feng's, it was really hard to imagine how he could fuse with a beast.
"Who are you trying to scare with such a big commotion? It's an egg, hahaha …"
The damned fatty, Pang Zhen, revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth as he mocked Du Feng. His complacency was written all over his face. Many people felt that the problem was with the Chief Butler, but they dared not say anything.
"Seventh Brother's beast is so special. I don't think you need to participate in the Qingyang Sect's trial in three months. Don't disgrace the royal family's dignity."
The Sixth Prince also took the opportunity to mock him. The Qingyang Sect's trial was in three months. The result of the competition would decide whether one could become a disciple of the sect. Not participating was equivalent to giving up the opportunity.
"I don't have the right to participate. Do you think a dirty person like you, who stares at other people's maids every day, has the right to participate?"
Du Feng glanced at the Sixth Prince. He knew that he had taken liberties with Chun Wan. Previously, he didn't want to cause trouble because he hadn't finished the sacrificial ceremony. Now, he could find a chance to teach him a lesson.
"You … don't try to be eloquent. Why don't we have a competition and the loser will leave the palace."
The Sixth Prince's face turned red from being insulted in public. After all, it was a shameful thing for a prince to take liberties with other people's maids. His move was really vicious. Taking advantage of the fact that Du Feng's beast hadn't hatched yet, he found a reason to chase him out of the palace.
"There's no need to trouble the Sixth Prince with such a small matter. My Cultivation is equal to his, it's a good chance to practice."
Pang Zhen's fat body swayed as he stood up. He opened his mouth to reveal his front teeth, looking like his evil plan had succeeded. He was at Tempered Body Level Four Cultivation, Du Feng was at Tempered Body Level Three Cultivation, and the Sixth Prince was at Tempered Body Level Five Cultivation. The so-called Cultivation was just an excuse.
With a higher level of Cultivation, coupled with the Steel Mountain Boar's fusion effect, Pang Zhen could be said to be full of confidence. Even if they were at the same level of Cultivation, it would be difficult for the opponent to break through the Steel Mountain Boar's defense without the help of a powerful beast.
"Alright, if I lose, I'll leave the palace. If you lose, you have to pay a price."
Du Feng wasn't the type to suffer losses. If Pang Zhen also said that he would leave the palace if he lost, it would be the same as not saying anything. Because Pang Zhen wasn't a member of the palace, his quota to participate in the Qingyang Sect trial came from the General's Mansion.
His words aroused the curiosity of many people present. When did the previously cowardly Seventh Prince become so confident? One had to know that once he left the palace, not only would he lose the recommendation for the royal family's trial, he would also lose a place to stay. If he was killed by his enemies outside, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
"What's going on? Did the Seventh Prince really summon a full-ranked beast?"
"I don't know either. Let's continue watching."
Everyone was discussing spiritedly. Some were interested, and some were gloating. For example, Pang Zhen's father, Commander Pang, took the opportunity to take out ten crystal stones as a bet. As long as he successfully drove the Seventh Prince out this time, the Queen would definitely repay him double.
"To deal with you, I only need a finger."
Pang Zhen shook his finger, not putting Du Feng in his eyes at all. Although his Cultivation was one level higher, there was no need for him to be so confident.
