Chapter 114: The Sacred Light Angel
Chapter 114: The Sacred Light Angel
As the words were spoken, Peach Sage's figure flashed, and he appeared hundreds of meters away.
There, a deep pit lay.
It was the very spot where the Dragon Bull had been blasted away by Peach Sage's Light Grid Cannon.
At this moment, the Dragon Bull lay in the pit, barely clinging to life, its body oozing black blood that emitted a nauseating stench of decay and rot.
"Every time we have to deal with these beasts, we have to endure such foul odors. It's truly annoying!" Peach Sage shook his hand, and a handkerchief appeared in his hand as if by magic.
Covering his nose with the handkerchief, Peach Sage extended his other hand, and the light sphere condensed once more.
Boom!
The light pillar appeared again, blasting into the deep pit.
With another strike of the Light Grid Cannon, the already exaggerated pit was further blasted into a crater-like depression, as if a meteor had crashed into it.
Peach Sage's attack not only finished off the Dragon Bull but also shook Li Qian and Chu Xiran's hearts.
The power of a Spiritual Saint-rank Beast Master was truly terrifying!
As the attack landed, the entire ground trembled.
Both Li Qian and Chu Xiran struggled to maintain their balance, nearly falling over.
After finishing his display, Peach Sage strolled back casually.
He didn't look at Iron Elder again but instead focused his gaze on Li Qian, "You're the one the school spent a fortune to recruit and nurture... Hmm, this Green Scaled Serpent beside you is quite well-nurtured... It's just a pity that its racial potential is a bit low, only reaching Overlord Fifth Rank. Even with all resources poured into its cultivation, it might not reach the Imperial Level."
As Peach Sage's gaze landed on Li Qian Qian's body, the latter's hair stood on end.
In that instant, he felt as if he were being watched by an extremely terrifying extraordinary creature.
Not only him, but even the Green Scaled Serpent, Qi Zai, beside him couldn't help but tremble.
A mere glance from Peach Sage made it feel as if a mountain had been placed upon its back.
This pressure lasted only a fleeting moment before disappearing without a trace.
Looking at Peach Sage again, there was no sign of pressure or any intimidating aura. Everything was so relaxed and gentle, as if bathed in the warmth of spring. It was as if the previous display of power had never happened.
Sensing Peach Sage's playful attitude, Iron Elder didn't say a word.
This was the aura of a powerful individual, and Li Qian would have to face it sooner or later. It was beneficial for him to experience it ahead of time!
Hearing Peach Sage's slightly mocking tone, Li Qian finally snapped out of his shock.
Then, he fell into a state of inexplicable excitement.
Just now, Peach Sage and Iron Elder's conversation had revealed a lot of information.
This information not only shocked Li Qian but also provided him with a deeper understanding of this world and sparked many associations.
Earlier, Iron Elder had mentioned that he was a gatekeeper, and this gate was not an ordinary one but a Dimensional Rift.
At this moment, as he recalled the conversation, it suddenly became clear why Iron Elder had trusted him with this task.
It wasn't solely because of his confidence in Li Qian's strength and character but also because he had made secret arrangements.
And that arrangement was likely the very Peach Sage standing before them.
From the banter between the two, it was evident that they were very close friends, the kind who could freely insult each other without restraint.
Iron Elder's attitude was typical of someone who... feared both his brother's suffering and his brother's Range Rover!
Iron Elder and Peach Sage were likely Beast Masters of the same era.
From Iron Elder's words, it was clear that Peach Sage's breakthrough to the Spiritual Saint rank was primarily due to luck, as his companion beast had undergone an evolutionary mutation.
Iron Elder seemed rather displeased with this fact.
However, Li Qian agreed with this point.
He also believed that luck was a part of one's strength.
Additionally, from their conversation, Li Qian gleaned much more information.
This information flooded into his mind like a torrent, leaving him momentarily dazed.
Suppressing his urge to ask questions, Li Qian respectfully looked at Peach Sage and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Peach Sage, for saving my life."
"This Green Scaled Serpent of mine is named 'Qi Zai'. Although its potential is only at Overlord Fifth Rank, I have confidence that I can research its subsequent evolutionary forms and potentially elevate its potential to the Spiritual Saint rank," Li Qian said confidently after expressing his thanks.
"Researching a Spiritual Saint-rank companion beast is not as simple as you might think. The Spiritual Saint rank is on a whole different level from the previous ranks!" Peach Sage commented noncommittally after hearing Li Qian's words.
Li Qian nodded, acknowledging Peach Sage's statement.
From Peach Sage's effortless display of power against the Dragon Bull, it was evident that the gap between Spiritual Saint and Imperial ranks might be far greater than that between Imperial and Overlord ranks.
But this wasn't a reason for Li Qian to back down. He took out a pre-sale orb and released Demon Heaven, speaking with renewed confidence, "Senior, you're right. Researching the evolution of a Spiritual Saint-rank companion beast is definitely not easy..."
After setting the stage, Li Qian continued, "However, I have confidence. This Frostfire Salamander I've just researched has the potential to reach Overlord Ninth Rank. With careful nurturing, it might break through to the Spiritual Saint rank. Moreover, according to my research, there is an evolutionary relationship between the Frostfire Salamander and the Icefire Dragon. Once I figure it out, I can continuously evolve them into Spiritual Saint-rank Icefire Dragons!"
Upon seeing Demon Heaven, Peach Sage was finally moved, and he couldn't help but exclaim with admiration, "Good lad, a high school student who can research the evolution of two Overlord-rank companion beasts, and one of them even has a higher evolutionary form. No wonder the old folks at the school were so desperate for me to come to the rescue.
After a moment of reflection, he turned his gaze to a spot in the void, "Alright, I can't stay away from Bright Moon City for too long, and if we delay any further, this unstable rift will become more stable. If we miss this opportunity, it'll be much more difficult to send you back. If we take the route through Bright Moon City, the distance is just too far!"
With that, he closed his eyes, and soon after, a light disc suddenly shifted out from his body.
The light disc landed on the empty ground nearby, and in no time, a humanoid figure emerged. To be precise, it was a companion beast with a humanoid form.
As the light disc dissipated, the companion beast's full form was revealed. It had a pair of wings on its back, azure eyes, snow-white hair flowing like a waterfall, and held a silver staff in its hand. Its entire body was covered in white armor, exuding an air of nobility and holiness!
With just a glance, Li Qian recognized the companion beast's identity.
It was indeed a Sacred Light Angel with the potential of a Spiritual Saint.
Once, in the school library, Li Qian had come across an introduction to this type of companion beast.
This was a companion beast with the potential to reach the Spiritual Saint rank!
It seemed that this Sacred Light Angel was indeed Tao Saint Yin Xiaotao's main companion beast, the one that Elder Tie had mentioned as having undergone an evolutionary mutation.
From the moment the Sacred Light Angel appeared, Li Qian also realized the Beastmaster talent of Tao Saint Yin Xiaotao.
It turned out to be the Fusion Talent!
Beastmasters with the Fusion Talent received more benefits from contracts and evolutionary feedback than ordinary Beastmasters.
Moreover, he had contracted at least one Life Attribute companion beast, which explained how he could maintain a youthful appearance in his thirties, similar to Elder Tie's age.
At this moment, Li Qian understood many things...
Just as he was lost in thought, the Sacred Light Angel raised its staff and pointed it at a spot in the void, lightly drawing a line.
Immediately, a beam of light shot straight out.
Finally, it disappeared into the void.
Li Qian witnessed that as the beam of light struck, the previously calm void rippled with waves, and within those ripples, the void cracked open like a shattered mirror.
"Unstable Rift!" Li Qian exclaimed as soon as he saw the crack appear.
The Sacred Light Angel before him had forcefully reopened the unstable rift that had already sealed itself with its own strength.
Li Qian was left speechless by this sight.
"Quickly enter, this rift is not stable. Even with my strength, keeping it open for an extended period is no easy task."
"Little Flower, originally, I wanted to have a drink with you, but considering the importance of this young man, it's best if you stay by his side!"
"As for the drinking, next time, you bring the wine to Bright Moon City and find me!"
"By the way, tell the principal that my tenure here is almost up. Hurry and find a successor, I don't want to stay in this dimensional plane for even a moment longer!"
After saying this, he extended his hand towards the unstable rift and said to Li Qian, "Quickly, go in."
Without hesitation, Li Qian glanced at Elder Tie and then headed straight for the unstable rift.
At this moment, his heart was filled with a thousand words and countless questions for Tao Saint, but he knew that now was not the time for inquiries.
As a Spiritual Saint-level powerhouse, Tao Saint didn't have much time to answer his questions.
Moreover, Li Qian believed that as his strength grew, some questions would naturally find their answers.
The top priority was to quickly pass through this unstable rift and return to the Ancestral Star.
Having entered the dimensional plane, he had already been away for quite some time. If he didn't return soon, those outside would surely worry, especially his parents.
Therefore, without hesitation, Li Qian rode on Qi Zai and used the "Dragon Soar" skill to charge into the unstable rift.
At the same time, Elder Tie exchanged a glance with the Four-Winged Mantis beside him and then quickly used the "Teleportation" skill, disappearing into the unstable rift.
Watching Elder Tie and Li Qian vanish into the unstable rift, a faint smile curved Tao Saint's lips.
"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect the principal to have such boldness this time... If this young man grows up smoothly, the future Shazhou Beastmaster Academy will definitely be very exciting!"
After saying this, his smile faded, and he muttered to himself, "Also, I didn't expect that the Machinery Drought Sect would have set up something here."
"If the distress signal hadn't arrived in time, being so far from Bright Moon City, even I might not have made it in time."
At this point, his gaze turned cold, "Those who hide their heads and show their tails, pray that I don't encounter you, or else..."
