Monarch Of Time

Chapter 152 - 152 Rank 5 Silver-winged panther king

ʼʼOld Tao, which magic beasts at the early rank 5, are in good condition right now?ʼʼ

The old man looked a bit confused at Cui Guoliangʼs sudden question, but he still answered respectfully

ʼʼMy king, the magic beasts at the early rank 5 that are in a good condition, number only 4.

They are the ʼNine-eyed giant wormʼ on the north, the ʼThousand-eyed spiderʼ on the west, the ʼTwin-headed wolfʼ on the northeast, and...ʼʼ

The old man had a look on his face that couldnʼt conceal his difficulty, as he stopped speaking.

ʼʼAnd what?ʼʼ

Cui Guoliang didnʼt hide his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, seeing that ʼold Taoʼ was hesitating to speak.

As the caretaker who was responsible for the rank 5 magic beasts inside the ʼVermilion realmʼ, ʼOld Taoʼ would never hesitate to speak, unless there was a serious issue.

Indeed, the old man took a deep breath as he knelt on the ground and said

ʼʼMy king, please forgive me! I have done everything that I can, but the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ still hasnʼt advanced to the middle stages.ʼʼ

The moment that the old man finished his words, disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e had already covered Cui Guoliangʼs face, while Shun Longʼs eyes were actually filled with shock.

He almost couldnʼt stop himself from asking

ʼʼHow is a ʼSilver-winger panther kingʼ, only at the early stage of rank 5?ʼʼ

Turning his head to look at Shun Long, Cui Guoliang suppressed his frustration as he said

ʼʼBrat, I suggest that you choose the ʼNine-eyed giant wormʼ. I have been raising it for many years inside a very special lake, and although its combat strength isnʼt as big as the ʼThousand-eyed spiderʼ or the ʼTwin-headed wolfʼ, its defense is much better than the other 2. It can definitely protect you well enough.ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs eyes twitched as he heard Cui Guoliang mentioning the ʼNine-eyed giant wormʼ, and immediately shook his head, as he responded with a determined tone

ʼʼSenior, thank you for your suggestion, but I would rather choose the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ.ʼʼ

Was this a joke? How was he supposed to choose the ʼNine-eyed giant wormʼ? Hasnʼt little Black already eaten it? Should he force the black dragon to spit it back out for him?

Cui Guoliang looked at Shun Long like he was looking at an idiot as he said

ʼʼBrat, are you dumb? Didnʼt you hear old ʼTaoʼ saying, that the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ hasnʼt broken through to the middle stages? Itʼs obvious that there is a serious problem with it. You should choose the ʼNine-eyed giant wormʼ instead.ʼʼ

Shun Long however, shook his head, as he said resolutely

ʼʼSenior, I still wish to choose the ʼSilver-winged pantherʼ. I hope that senior will agree.ʼʼ

Cui Guoliang couldnʼt understand why Shun Long was so adamant on taking the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ, but in the end, he still nodded his head, as he looked at the kneeling old man in front of him and said

ʼʼʼOld Taoʼ, go and bring the ʼsilver-winged panther kingʼ here then.ʼʼ

ʼOld Taoʼ got up from the ground, and bowed to Cui Guoliang, before he hurriedly left the room.

The old man couldnʼt believe his eyes.

What was so special about this kid, that the king was going to give him one of his rank 5 beasts? However, he didnʼt dare to question Cui Guoliangʼs order as he quickly left, to bring the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ.

Less than an hour later, a 2m(6.6ft) tall and 6m(19.8ft) long black panther, with shining yellow eyes, and a pair of beautiful silver wings on its back, appeared in front of Shun Long and Cui Guoliang.

Shun Longʼs eyes shone as he saw the panther in front of him, while his eyes carefully examined its body.

Although Cui Guoliang felt unwilling to part with the magic beasts that he had painstakingly raised, he understood that if Shun Long didnʼt have a suitable protector, then he could very likely die before he reached the Dao King realm.

With these thoughts in mind, the reluctance in his heart slowly disappeared, and looking at Shun Long he said

ʼʼKid, this panther is still soul-bound by me. Gather your spiritual strength in a drop of your blood, and feed it in the pantherʼs mouth. I will sever my connection with the panther at the same time, so it can accept you as its new master.ʼʼ

There was almost no danger following this process, except if the magic beast received a strong mental stimulation. In that case, it was possible for the link between master and servant to be severed, if the beastʼs spiritual strength far exceeded its master. However, these situations werenʼt common in the ʼcultivation worldʼ.

At the same time that Shun Long fed his blood to the black panther, Cui Guoliang immediately severed their connection.

Shun Long could now feel a mental connection with the panther, but it was completely different from the one he had with little Black.

He couldnʼt mentally communicate with the panther, but he could feel its emotions.

Cui Guoliang nodded his head as he saw that everything went smoothly, while ʼOld Taoʼ had an envious and resentful look in his eyes as he stared at Shun Long.

Cui Guoliang didnʼt pay any attention to the old man, as he looked at Shun Long and said

ʼʼThere is only a week left, until the teleportation array for the Night star continent is activated. Take a look at the martial skills inside the spatial ring, before you decide what type of weapon you want. Iʼm certain that the techniques that you have practiced in the Desolate east are simply incomparable to those of my collection. When you are ready, you can simply come back to the throne room.ʼʼ

As he finished speaking, Cui Guoliang turned around and entered inside the black door, as he then disappeared from the room.

Shun Long told the panther to follow him, as he too entered the black door, which returned him back to his room.

Returning back to the jade-white room, Shun Long didnʼt choose to put the panther inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ. Instead, he seriously examined its body for a couple of minutes, before a big smile covered his face as he thought

ʼʼThat ʼOld Taoʼ really isnʼt qualified to take care of magic beasts.ʼʼ

After patting the pantherʼs back, Shun Long let it roam freely around the room, while his eyes were staring at the spatial ring on his hand, as he then mumbled to himself

ʼʼLetʼs take a look at the techniques and martial skills of a Dao King.ʼʼ
