Chapter 53: Two Evolutionary Resources

“What’s going on? It’s been such a long time, so why isn’t he coming out yet?”

“I’m not too sure, but we’re really in for it this time . ”

Outside the Spirit Pagoda, the mass of Cangzhou University students and teachers had been waiting for a while . They were all rather curious when they noticed that Ye Xuan had not stepped out of the pagoda .

A greater portion of them felt unsettled . At this time, tens of minutes had elapsed since Ye Xuan stepped into the Spirit Pagoda .

Some of them were even harboring dark thoughts, wondering if the reason why Ye Xuan had not come out after such a long time was because something had happened to him in the pagoda .

“Worry not, Vice Dean Lin . Back when the King of Thousand Cranes ended his challenge in the Spirit Pagoda, he had also stayed in there for quite some time before leaving .

“It’s probably the same reason why this student of yours hasn’t walked out of the pagoda after such a long time,” Xu Younian said while standing beside Lin Shiru .

Anxiety weighed on him even as he said that .

To think such a sprout had appeared in Jiangzhou University after their prolonged inactivity . One could only imagine how exciting the Hundred Academy League would be after a few years after Ye Xuan grew .

Lin Shiru nodded .

But still, she was a little worried about Ye Xuan . After all, something like this that was happening to Ye Xuan was not at all common .

“I really wonder what his beast is that he’s persisting in the pagoda for such a long time,” Song Jia said emphatically from among the crowd . It had not been too long since she emerged from the pagoda .

“You really think he’s able to survive for such a long time with one beast even to the extent of breaking the record set by the King of Thousand Cranes?”

Xu Canchan shook his head from beside her .

“Are you saying…that he has two beasts?”

Song Jia could not help but widen her eyes when she heard him .

“More or less!”

Xu Canchan sighed . Of the apprentice-level beasts, his Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone was already the biggest fish in the pond . He refused to believe that Ye Xuan would be able to break the record set by the King of Thousand Cranes with a single beast .

“How about this, Xu Canchan? You’ve always been competitive anyway, so what do you think about exchanging blows with Ye Xuan after he comes out of that tower? We’ll get a good look at his skills,” Song Jia responded with a charming smile after she heard what he said .

“I have no plans of accepting that abuse . ”

Xu Canchan only smirked scornfully .

Beast Tamers who could bond with two beasts despite still being at the apprentice level—there was practically nobody who was a match for them, not at the lower levels .

Xu Canchan was very aware of this .

He knew that if Ye Xuan had really broken the record set by the King of Thousand Cranes in the Spirit Pagoda, then he would only be flung around in a match against the other .

“Coward . ”

Song Jia lost interest immediately when she heard what he said .

“I live for peace . ”

Xu Canchan made no movement . “Seek him out yourself if you’re really that interested in him . ”

Song Jia was struck speechless .

Whoosh!

And just then, as the crowd was wrapped up in discussion, a handsome figure standing at 1 . 8m suddenly strode out of the Spirit Pagoda .

“Ye Xuan!”

Everyone turned to look at him when they saw his figure .

Now that he was facing all these people yet again, he was not as nervous as he was earlier .

“I was fortunate enough to have completed your mission, Miss Lin,” he said to Lin Shiru as he strode boldly to her .

He spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor quiet, but it carried a force unique to him .

Out here, he represented Jiangzhou University . The more people looked at him, the more he had to behave well . This was what Lin Shiru had said to him earlier . He had kept it in mind the entire time .

“Not bad . ”

Lin Shiru nodded .

There was relief in her gaze when she stared at Ye Xuan .

She then turned to look at Xu Younian and said, “Director Xu, since Ye Xuan is here, I’ll be bringing him along to find a place to train . We won’t impose on you any longer . ”

“Very well . ”

Xu Younian nodded . “I have to remind you, Vice Dean Lin, of the agreement that Beast Tamers at Platinum level and above are not allowed to spar in the Spirit Secret Realm . ”

“Rest assured, Director Xu . ”

Lin Shiru nodded .

After she spoke, she summoned the Sacred Divine Wood .

She brought down branch after branch that wrapped around both her and Ye Xuan, hurtling through space until they reached a discreet, hidden spot in the Spirit Secret Realm . ”

It was a large mountain .

Looking down from the very apex of the mountain, one would see an expanse of green .

“Can you tell me what you encountered in the Spirit Pagoda just now?” Lin Shiru looked at Ye Xuan and asked him when they touched the ground .

“Of course . ”

Ye Xuan did not hesitate . Immediately, he launched into a recount of what had happened in the Spirit Pagoda, as well as his exchange with the Elder of Arrays . Of course, he only mentioned that his own talent had surpassed the expectations of the Elder of Arrays .

He said nothing about owning a Mythic Talent that even the Elder of Arrays could not detect .

He mentioned nothing about the Tidal Treasure Snail .

He only mentioned what the Elder of Arrays told him, that the Tidal Treasure Snail was a Dark Iron level beast that possessed immense power . He did not mention its Treasure Devouring ability or how its potential knew no bounds .

He knew full well what he could divulge and what he could not .

Although he trusted Lin Shiru quite a bit, he had no wish to test her character .

“I see . ”

Lin Shiru fell into thought after listening to Ye Xuan’s recount .

After thinking about it, she said, “You said you chose a Dragon Meditation technique with only one layer while you were in the Spirit Pagoda . I wonder if you’re able to describe this technique . ”

“I can’t . ”

Ye Xuan shook his head . “It’s a very bizarre technique . According to the description, I can only hone it to the Challenger level, and I have to expend an immense amount of psychic power before I can write out this technique using a unique method . ”

“On top of that, the written form of this technique will lose effect after it’s handed off to somebody . It has to be rewritten before it can be passed down to another person . ”

“It’s as I expected . ”

Lin Shiru shook her head ruefully after hearing the explanation .

Truth be told, she more or less had an answer before she even asked Ye Xuan…

Because she had encountered a technique as high-level as this one, and the situation was the same .

She mulled over it for a beat and then said, “If that’s the case, then you should hone this Dragon Meditation technique after you advance to the Dark Iron level . ”

“As for advancing to the Bronze and Silver levels, the school just so happens to have a technique called the Calamity of Fire and Wind . It’s possible to link this technique, and you wouldn’t face a shortage of techniques to hone before you advance to the Golden level . ”

“For the time being, you can use the evolutionary resources you obtained at the Spirit Pagoda to help your beasts advance to the Dark Iron level quicker . ”

“Understood!”

Ye Xuan nodded after listening to her .

Hope sprouted in his chest .

He had been anticipating Tyrannosaurus and Lil Wan’s advancement to the Dark Iron level for far too long . As he thought about it, he fished out the Beast Ring that the Elder of Arrays had tossed to him earlier .

After a quick sweep with his psychic power, he found two items in the ring .

One of them was unknown blood wrapped up within an amber pouch .

The other was a pearl of brilliant, flowing green . There was no doubt about it—the unidentified blood definitely belonged to the Tyrannosaurus .

As for the green pearl, it was a treasure to be used on Lil Wan .
