Chapter 225: Picking a New Beast
"What happened?"
At the same time, seeing so many Beast Tamers in this treasure trove, Beast Tamers from all clans were struck dumb.
Even the Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan were struck dumb, although they had been informed that their counterparts from the Cerulean Planet and other planets could show up here as well before they came here.
They were struck dumb because they had not expected to see so many Beast Tamers in the Dragon City in the Sea.
How many were there?
More than one hundred Beast Tamers entered the Dragon City in the Sea, this time in the Cerulean Planet's case.
And there were as many as thirty-six clans! Just think about it.
That meant there were thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea!
Ye Xuan looked over. He saw a dense crowd around him in the treasure trove. There were thousands of Beast Tamers from all clans.
Fortunately, this treasure trove was vast.
Otherwise, it would not have held so many people here.
"Darn it! What the hell is happening here?"
Next to Ye Xuan, Qian Ziyun from Qingyun University opened his eyes wide in shock.
Even Ye Xuan showed a serious look.
He was strong indeed.
Not many people would be a rival for him among Beast Tamers on his level.
However, no matter how strong he was, there was a limit.
There were so many Beast Tamers here, and most of them were on the Silver level.
No matter how strong he was, if those people attacked him altogether, how would he be able to cope?
"What is this place anyway?"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
He could not figure it out. How come he and his companions showed up here after having entered the Turtle Shell Ancient City?
And so many people showed up here at the same time.
"This is the Palace of the Ocean Dragons..."
As if there was someone who could read Ye Xuan and others' minds.
When Ye Xuan and others had all arrived at this palace and steadied themselves up.
A message showed up in their minds all of a sudden.
In this way, they got to learn about the place quickly.
"The Palace of the Ocean Dragons has seven divisions, and the Dragon City in the Sea has thirty-six affiliated cities?"
Ye Xuan was shocked by the message he had received.
The Elder of Arrays once mentioned the Palace of the Ocean Dragons to him.
He knew it was a force that was even deemed dreadful in another world.
The Palace of the Ocean Dragons and the Templars of the Ancient God on the Ancient God Planet were two comparable forces.
But not until then did he come to realize to some extent why this force was deemed dreadful.
The Turtle Shell Ancient City he had entered turned out to be one of the thirty-six affiliated cities of the Dragon City in the Sea, one of the seven divisions of the Palace of the Ocean Dragons.
What the hell!
Ye Xuan felt his world had been totally turned upside down.
"And this is the trial we will go through?"
Ye Xuan realised what the trail of the thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea was about when he had received that message.
It would be quite similar to the trial he had gone through in the Translucent Secret Realm on the Ancient God Planet earlier.
So, they would choose the evolutionary resources and beasts they needed here.
When they had chosen what they needed, they would be sent out of the treasure trove. Outside, they would get points by killing sea monsters.
They would be able to exchange for the evolutionary resources or beasts they had chosen earlier when they had gained enough points.
After that, they would be allowed to return to the Cerulean Planet.
They would even be accepted as secular disciples of the Palace of the Ocean Dragons if their performance was good enough.
Or they would even be accepted as disciples of a higher rank.
It worked the same way for everyone.
In addition to that, Ye Xuan also knew from the message that most of the sea monsters they would deal with were on the Silver level.
That having been said, running into a Gold-level sea monster was not impossible if you were unlucky enough.
Besides, the place they would take the trial was a spacious ocean.
When they left the palace, all of them would be transmitted to a random location.
"A random location?"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
This was the best for him.
Because apparently, besides the risks of the trial itself.
He probably would also need to deal with the risks from those dozens of foreign clans.
However, if they would be transmitted to a random location, it would be quite difficult for the Beast Tamers from other clans to ally.
In that case, even if he had to confront several Silver-level Beast Tamers simultaneously, few people would be able to stop him from running away if he wanted to. He was sure he was strong enough to achieve that.
That having been said.
Ye Xuan looked at Huo Tong, Miao Shuyao, and some others who were with him.
The thing was, they were not as strong as he was.
"Try not to choose too many evolutionary resources later. This trial is a little different from those we had before. There could be many casualties."
Ye Xuan turned his head to warn them in the language of the Xia.
"Yeah, sure. Understood!"
Huo Tong, Miao Shuyao, and others all nodded.
They did not show any hesitation.
They knew their strength quite well.
They knew if Ye Xuan had not frustrated Wanshan University so much that no one dared to confront him, they would not have got the places to come here no matter how eager they were to come.
In such circumstances, if they did not know how to protect themselves, there would be no one to blame even if they lost their lives here.
Seeing them nod, Ye Xuan felt relieved.
"And, this is the first time for all of us. Don't try too hard."
Then Ye Xuan glanced at the others who had travelled here with them from the Xia.
He had seen some of them before, and there were also many of them he had never seen before.
They also nodded at Ye Xuan after having heard his warning.
However, some of them had their own plans.
This was simply a warning.
Ye Xuan was no one's babysitter.
So, he had done his job with this warning.
"Let's go. Choose the evolutionary resources we need first. Don't linger here for too long. Let's start the trial as soon as possible so that we can leave earlier!"
He made up his mind right away.
He walked to the shelves in front of him after having said that to Huo Tong and others.
There were too many shelves here.
As to the treasures on the shelves, there were countless of them.
There was a screen on which all of the treasures were listed in the Translucent Secret Realm, making him feel he was a new rich.
Compared to that, what he saw here was more shocking to him.
Besides, in the Translucent Secret Realm, those who could conquer all of the challenges could get a five-star Illuminating Spirit Monkey as his or her beast.
Except that the prizes for conquering each challenge were mostly all kinds of evolutionary resources.
Not like here.
You could choose whatever you liked here.
There were not only beasts but also beast eggs.
No one would stop you even if you wanted to choose all of the treasures in the treasure trove.
However, in that case, you would never be able to leave here if you could not get enough points to exchange for the treasures you had chosen in the end.
"Beast!"
Ye Xuan knew clearly what he wanted.
Besides evolutionary resources, he was dying to get a sea beast.
Apparently, most of the beasts collected in the treasure trove of the thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea were sea beasts, so he could choose whatever he wanted.
[Dark Iron Spiritual Sea Turtle: Three Stars
Beast Level: Silver (Intermediate)
Abilities: Spiritual Sea Turtle Aspect, Dark Iron Turtle Shell, Water Manipulation, Formula of Trance of Convalescence
Evolution Path 1: Dark Iron Spiritual Sea Turtle King
Evolution Path 2: Dark Iron Genuine Spiritual Sea Turtle]
Walking around, Ye Xuan saw a beast on one of the shelves with treasures very soon.
However, first of all, this beast's level was lower than what he expected.
The low Silver level was too low for him.
Even his level was higher than that.
"Are you Ye Xuan from the Cerulean Planet?"
A voice came from behind him suddenly when he was going to continue with the search for another beast.
He looked back, knitting his brows together.
He saw a Beast Tamer from the Silver Blood Clan whose hair was completely silver right away. That Beast Tamer was looking at him with interest as if he was looking at a prey.
Ye Xuan threw him a glance. Then he fixed his eyes on the black crow standing on the youngster's shoulder, which looked like an illusionary shadow.
[Wizard Incorporeal Crow: Five Stars
Beast Level: Silver (Peak)
Abilities: Wizard Curse, Jinx Possession, Voice Tracking]
Ye Xuan identified the attributes of the Wizard Incorporeal Crow standing on the Silver Blood Beast Tamer's shoulder in a second.
"I will definitely kill you this time!"
Seeing Ye Xuan look back at him, the young man from the Silver Blood Clan moved his hand across his neck to imitate the throat-cutting movement.
Darn it!
Ye Xuan swore to himself right away when he had heard that.
This young man from the Silver Blood Clan was completely a moron. The young man approached him only to insult him.
However, you would make a fool of yourself if you really treated him as if he was a moron.
Ye Xuan checked the attributes of the Wizard Incorporeal Crow standing on his shoulder carefully.
He found the last ability of the crow was to memorize the target's voice and then exert a technique to track the target down.
He threw a cold look at the young man from the Silver Blood Clan. Then he completely stopped paying attention to the guy.
He was going to continue the search for a beast that meet his requirements.
"Shoot. Is he such a coward?"
The young man from the Silver Blood Clan raised his eyebrow behind Ye Xuan.
He did not expect Ye Xuan to be such a coward.
He had insulted Ye Xuan to such an extent. However, Ye Xuan did not even curse him back.
"Ye Xuan!"
At this moment, Miao Shuyao called Ye Xuan from dozens of feet away.
Knitting his brows together, Ye Xuan walked over when he had heard Miao Shuyao's calling.
He restricted his voice using his Mind Energy while walking.
He transmitted his voice to Miao Shuyao and all Beast Tamers from the Xia that happened to be nearby.
"From now on, we will only communicate to each other using our Mind Energy. There are all kinds of beasts here. Some of them can memorize your voice and then locate you through your voice."
Such beasts did exist?
People were stupefied after having heard Ye Xuan's warning.
Miao Shuyao, who had just called Ye Xuan, turned pale.
She saw Ye Xuan walk to her.
And the young man from the Silver Blood Clan followed Ye Xuan.
And the black crow on the young man's shoulder was staring at her.
Seeing all that, she was especially terrified.
"Take it easy. It is okay."
Ye Xuan used his Mind Energy to speak to Miao Shuyao through voice transmission when he had been next to her. He comforted her, "You called me out of the blue. That guy's beast wasn't prepared, so maybe it failed to memorize your voice."
"Yeah, I know."
Miao Shuyao gave him a slight nod. She was making an effort to restrict herself.
Then, pointing at a shelf next to her, she said to Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, check this beast out. Does it meet your requirements?"
