Chapter 3

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mu Xuan walked out of the underground cave, the sky had already darkened. Night was about to arrive, filling Mu Xuan with a sense of danger.

In the Beast Taming Era, the battle power of the demon beasts increased a lot at night. The wilderness was filled with countless dangers. Even beast king-level beast tamers wouldn’t choose to spend the night in the dangerous area.

Mu Xuan also didn’t expect that because of the awakening of his talent, he ended up returning to the city more than an hour late.

Taking advantage of the dark sky, Mu Xuan carefully walked out of the mountain. Along the way, he could already hear the occasional cries of demon beasts. Fortunately, the Ice Crystal Spirit made Mu Xuan feel more secure.

Half an hour later, seeing that he was about to walk out of the foot of the mountain, Mu Xuan’s heart finally relaxed. “It’s a close call. I should be able to return before the city gate closes…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Ice Crystal Spirit suddenly stood in front of Mu Xuan and emitted a cold aura.

Mu Xuan’s expression froze. He quickly discovered the enemy target, an elite level 4 Gale Wolf.

[Gale Wolf]

Species: Wind/Wolf

Level: Elite Level 4

Bloodline: Elite

Quality: Ordinary

Skill: Gale Wolf Claw, Swift Wolf Pounce

Introduction: An old wild wolf. At the last stage of its life, it didn’t choose to give up.

Seeing the information of the Gale Wolf, Mu Xuan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. An old elite level 4 Gale Wolf, and it was only of ordinary quality, was definitely not a match for the Ice Crystal Spirit.

The quality attribute was a comprehensive attribute. The growth speed, skill comprehension ability, battle timing, and other factors were related to this. The higher the quality, the stronger the battle power, and the more one could fight above their level.

From low to high, quality was divided into several levels: ordinary, elite, outstanding, transcendent, and legendary. Ordinary quality was about most of the battle power that could be displayed in the current realm.

Outstanding quality was enough for beasts to fight one or two levels higher.

Transcendent quality could allow beasts to fight three to four levels higher. It was very rare.

And legendary quality was even rarer. Beasts with this level of quality were known to be invincible among its peers!

Mu Xuan’s Ice Crystal Spirit was of transcendent quality. It could be considered as an elite level 5 and 6 beast. Although it was still a newborn beast, it was naturally not a problem for it to face an old wild wolf.

Almost without Mu Xuan saying anything, the Ice Crystal Spirit had already emitted a light blue light that smashed towards the Gale Wolf.

Instantly, the Gale Wolf let out a miserable cry. A thin layer of ice could be seen condensing on its body with the naked eye. It was the skill of the Ice Crystal Spirit, Extreme Frost Freeze.

Then, a blue light flashed on the surface of the Ice Crystal Spirit Body. In the next moment, the ice on the surface of the Gale Wolf’s body exploded. In the ice fragments that filled the sky, the Gale Wolf fell to the ground bravely…

[The Gale Wolf bloodline can be extracted!]

Looking at the Gale Wolf that directly fell to the ground and died, Mu Xuan took a deep breath. The Gale Wolf was not weak, and its speed far exceeded most demon beasts. However, in front of the Ice Crystal Spirit, it died before it could even release a move.

At this moment, Mu Xuan had a deeper understanding of the power of the Ice Crystal Spirit. He even felt a trace of fear in his heart. If he hesitated during the contract, he would probably ascend to the sky like the Gale Wolf in front of him, right?!

“Ice Crystal Spirit, beautifully done!” Looking at the Ice Crystal Spirit dancing around him as if it was waiting for praise, Mu Xuan couldn’t help but smile and praise it generously.

Upon hearing that, the Ice Crystal Spirit danced even more happily.

Then, Mu Xuan came in front of the Gale Wolf’s corpse and began to use his bloodline extraction and fusion talent for the first time. In the next moment, he felt that he had shot out something. A red power appeared in his hand, and then dark red blood appeared in his hand. It was the bloodline of the Gale Wolf in front of him.

[Ordinary Gale Wolf Bloodline]

Species: Wind/Wolf

Bloodline: Elite

Quality: Ordinary

Introduction: A very ordinary Gale Wolf bloodline. It looks ordinary and doesn’t have much value. It can fuse with ordinary wolves and transform it into a Gale Wolf.

Mu Xuan immediately understood. He had a rough understanding of his talent. His talent was simply more exaggerated than he imagined. Not only could he extract the bloodline of demon beasts, but he could also allow ordinary demon beasts to fuse with these bloodlines and transform.

If he extracted a bloodline above the monarch level and fused it with his beasts, wouldn’t it greatly increase the bloodline and quality of his beasts?!

If it continued to fuse, not to mention monarch-level beasts, even divine-level beasts would be created!

At this moment, Mu Xuan’s confidence grew…

After being delayed by the Gale Wolf, the sky had already completely darkened, making the subsequent journey even more difficult. Fortunately, Mu Xuan was familiar with the nearby roads and returned to Golden Flower City safely under the moonlight.

In the Beast Taming Era, the once open cities shrank back into the thick city walls to defend against the attacks of the demon beasts. It had to be said that it was a tragedy.

Mu Xuan didn’t feel too sad. After a simple test, he was allowed to enter Golden Flower City.

At this moment, a familiar female voice came from behind. “Eh, Mu Xuan, it’s indeed you. You just returned to the city?”

Mu Xuan turned around and saw a bright girl looking at him in surprise. If he ignored the two-meter-tall water elemental giant beside her, this would definitely be a beautiful sight.

“Sister Fangfei?” Mu Xuan subconsciously called out. Immediately, all the memories related to her appeared in his mind.

Ling Fangfei was Mu Xuan’s childhood friend and playmate. She was only a year older than Mu Xuan. Last year, she participated in the college entrance examination and finally entered the Beast Taming College in Zhe Dong Province.

In the Beast Taming Era, there was a provincial Beast Taming College in every province. It was the cradle of the entire province’s elite talents. Beast tamers who could enter the provincial Beast Taming College could be called geniuses.

Ling Fangfei was such a genius. Her mental strength had been outstanding since she was young, and she had reached the contract conditions in her second year of high school. Then, she was lucky enough to encounter a heavily injured water elemental sprite in the wild and successfully contracted it. It was actually a precious beast with the bloodline potential of a beast king. Therefore, Ling Fangfei became a famous genius girl in Ninth High School.

Later on, Ling Fangfei didn’t disappoint. Although she couldn’t enter the five supreme universities of the Dragon Country, she still entered the provincial Beast Taming College.

Mu Xuan also didn’t expect to actually encounter Ling Fangfei, whom he had not seen for a year, at the entrance of Golden Flower City.

“Sister Fangfei, aren’t you studying in Hang City?” Mu Xuan asked curiously.

“Can’t I come back to school?” Ling Fangfei rolled her eyes at Mu Xuan and said with a faint smile, “Mu Xuan, quickly let me see if you’ve grown taller.”

“…” Mu Xuan’s face darkened. He hurriedly smacked away Ling Fangfei’s hand. Height had always been the pain of the owner of his original body. Since young, Mu Xuan had been a head shorter than Ling Fangfei. Although they were childhood sweethearts, they looked completely like siblings.

Fortunately, after entering the third year of high school, Mu Xuan finally began to develop quickly and increase in height. Now, he was already half a head taller than Ling Fangfei.

After fooling around for a while, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other. Ling Fangfei suddenly whispered, “Mu Xuan, I went to your house to look for you after I returned. Only then did I know that Uncle and Auntie had an accident…”

More than two months ago, Mu Xuan’s father, Mu Bai, and his mother, Ning Yuwei, disappeared quietly in an undeveloped mystic realm and their bodies could not be found.

The Ice Crystal Spirit was accidentally discovered by Mu Xuan when he was arranging the cenotaph for his parents.

At that time, Mu Xuan had only organized a simple funeral.

Mu Xuan sighed and said, “The future is unpredictable. Sister Fangfei, you don’t have to worry.”
