Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 330: Chapter 198: Fengjiang City Under Attack

After the Endless Wood Demon pieced together the scene through Fantasy Combination, Zhong Yi had it place an Endless Mark on him.

Then, using the Exclusive Trait, Wooden Eye Peeping, he condensed a Wooden Eye.

This Wooden Eye could share its vision with Zhong Yi, instantly granting him a 365-degree panoramic view.

Zhong Yi was also surprised to find that previously, he could only see clearly for about a hundred meters in front of him.

Beyond that range, he could no longer make out any details.

But the Wooden Eye condensed by the Endless Wood Demon allowed his vision to easily encompass an area with a radius of about three hundred meters around him.

Zhong Yi could observe every minute detail within this three-hundred-meter radius with extreme clarity.

The Wooden Eye’s vision radiated outward. From its position in the treetop, its field of view extended to a radius of over eight hundred meters.

At this moment, perched in the treetop, Zhong Yi was like a hunter.

Zhong Yi then summoned Hong Ji, Lan Po, Ice Glaze, and the Rejection Crystal Bee all at once.

Zhong Yi stayed in the treetop, holding Lan Po and Ice Glaze, while the Rejection Crystal Bee rested on his collar like a Button, ready to protect him at a moment’s notice.

The Rejection Crystal Bee had already produced five sub-bees.

While not many, it was enough for the Rejection Crystal Bee to deploy its Magnetic Shield five times.

Zhong Yi hadn’t come to the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm just to hide in the shadows.

In the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, there was simply no time to leisurely observe opponents.

To survive until the end, confronting the strong was unavoidable.

Since he knew nothing about any of his opponents, there was no point in being picky.

Any encounter would immediately erupt into a fierce battle.

By staying in the treetop, Zhong Yi could use All Things Exploration to gather information on his opponents and then sync it with his Guardian Beasts.

Under his gaze, none of his opponents’ trump cards could remain hidden.

Zhong Yi let Hong Ji move freely within a three-hundred-meter radius of the treetop where he was perched.

If Hong Ji encountered other opponents, they would never suspect she was one of his Contracted Creatures.

They would treat her as another participant in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm and engage her in a fierce battle.

When that time came, both Ice Glaze and Lan Po, waiting in the treetop, could assist Hong Ji.

Even Zhong Yi himself could summon the Resurrection Celestial Lord to heal her.

As for the Rejection Crystal Bee, Zhong Yi wouldn’t use it lightly during Hong Ji’s battles.

With the Rejection Crystal Bee having only produced five sub-bees, its primary duty was to ensure Zhong Yi’s personal safety.

Zhong Yi, currently inside the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, had no idea that the very moment he had stepped through the Secret Realm Entrance, the Star Emperor had received a message from the Xin Xia Royal Court.

You Weiwei had arrived at the Star Frost Tower early that morning, preparing to discuss reforms for Starlight Academy with Star Night.

Fifty years ago, You Weiwei had become the principal of Starlight Academy.

To date, she had implemented two major reforms at the academy.

The first reform targeted the liberal arts curriculum.

In addition to teaching students about Guardian Beast cultivation and material appraisal, the curriculum was expanded to include subjects related to Demons and Soul Base Materials.

The second reform built upon the practical courses, adding a requirement that every student must explore a Secret Realm at least twice a year.

Now, You Weiwei felt that entering a Secret Realm only twice a year was far too little for the students!

Many students at Starlight Academy came from distinguished backgrounds, and a large number of them were unwilling to venture into Secret Realms for training.

After all, no matter how many precautions one took, training in a Secret Realm always carried risks.

But ever since she learned that Zhong Yi, Shen Xuan, and Zhong Ling had been frequently entering and exiting Secret Realms within the span of a month.

Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan, despite being Celestial Destiny Seekers, possessed an incredibly proactive spirit!

’Repeated, high-intensity tempering in Secret Realms is the best way for young Guardian Beast Masters to rapidly increase their strength.’

You Weiwei decided to simply organize a monthly Secret Realm exploration within Starlight Academy, shortening the time allotted to the duel-style practical lessons.

Compared to formal, by-the-book arena duels, entering a Secret Realm to battle Demons was a much better way to hone one’s combat skills.

The only issue was that this reform would force the entire student body of Starlight Academy to share the risks.

You Weiwei was well aware that the current atmosphere within Starlight Academy was in dire need of a shake-up.

She had already made up her mind; she was determined to see this reform through.

Before that, however, You Weiwei intended to run it by Star Night first.

But before she could mention it, You Weiwei was startled to see that Star Night—a man who wouldn’t flinch if the sky fell—had his brows knitted tightly together, his expression terrifyingly grim.

Star Night had just taken a call on the internal line connecting the Xin Xia Royal Court City Control Department to the various Heroic Cities.

’What on earth could he have heard to make him look like that?’ You Weiwei wondered.

Before You Weiwei could ask, she heard Star Night speak.

”Xu Zhi, I need you to make a trip to the Royal Capital!”

”The Shuojin Federation and the Mirage Sea Federation are at war. Our Xin Xia Alliance’s Fengjiang City has been facing repeated incursions since yesterday.”

”I can only rest easy if you attend this emergency Royal Court Council.”

Frost Day was not in Starlight City at the moment, and Xu Zhi was the bona fide third-in-command of Starlight City.

With the Star Emperor choosing to remain in Starlight City to hold the fort, sending You Weiwei to attend this Royal Court Council was indeed the best option.
