Chapter 398: Beyond Legend
Chapter 398: Beyond Legend
At the top of the tallest building in Kansai Beast Academy, a white-robed figure gazed at the red-robed figure and said, "Golden Phoenix Sister, won't you go see him?"
"It's not like we're parting forever. He's still so young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The red-robed figure replied nonchalantly, "Besides, everything that needed to be said has already been said."
"It seems you're still not used to interacting with human Beastmasters," the white-robed figure said with a smile.
The red-robed figure nodded, "Isn't that normal? After all, my Beastmaster has been dead for over a thousand years."
The white-robed figure fell silent upon hearing this.
After a moment, it continued, "Do you think this little guy has a chance to form a contract with you, Sister?"
"The chances are slim. After all, he has only recently advanced to the rank of Commander."
The red-robed figure responded ambiguously, "Who knows how many years it will take to become a Legendary Beastmaster? Perhaps there won't be an opportunity in this lifetime!"
"Don't underestimate human Beastmasters, Sister. Their potential can sometimes exceed expectations."
The white-robed figure covered their mouth and said, "Take my Beastmaster, that Old Man Lu, for example. He may seem unreliable, but in reality, without him, I would never have evolved into a Legendary Companion Beast."
"The same goes for Little Golden."
Hearing the words 'Little Golden,' the red-robed figure frowned slightly, "By the way, please remind your Beastmaster about that golden-haired boy. If he continues to bother me, I won't hold back."
"I'll let him know, but whether Little Golden listens or not, I can't guarantee."
The white-robed figure smiled faintly, "After all, sometimes he's even more unreliable than Old Man Lu."
"I can't believe he managed to advance to the Legendary rank. It's truly unfair that someone like him could achieve such a feat," the red-robed figure commented, unable to resist a sarcastic remark.
"Don't be fooled by his unreliability. In reality, his talent and understanding are top-notch."
The white-robed figure also sighed, "I formed a contract with him around the same time, but he advanced to the Legendary rank thirty years earlier than me."
As the white-robed and red-robed figures were chatting, a light flickered, and an elderly man with meticulous makeup and neatly combed hair appeared on the rooftop.
"This must be Senior Golden Phoenix, as mentioned by Brother Lu?" The old man asked with a hearty laugh.
Without pausing, he continued, introducing himself, "I am Qiao Meng'an, the principal of Kansai Beast Academy."
"First, let me congratulate Senior Golden Phoenix on successfully advancing to the Legendary rank and embarking on the Path of Rules."
The meticulously groomed old man, Qiao Meng'an, laughed heartily, appearing harmless.
However, after a glance, the red-robed figure, the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix, couldn't help but furrow her brows.
She said indifferently, "You don't deserve the title of 'Senior.'"
At least, not in front of this old man.
This old man's strength was undoubtedly greater than hers, and by a significant margin.
This was evident from the moment he appeared, as White Dragon respectfully addressed him as "Professor Qiao."
"May I ask why Principal Qiao has come here?" The Three-Legged Golden Phoenix, the red-robed figure, inquired calmly.
"Since Senior Golden Phoenix has come to Kansai Beast Academy, as the host, I should at least greet and welcome you," Qiao Meng'an said, maintaining the title of 'Senior' and not correcting her.
Let him call her that.
Qiao Meng'an stepped forward, took a few steps, and then spoke again, "As a Three-Legged Golden Phoenix, you have embarked on the Path of Rules, and you must be aware that this is just the beginning, not the end."
Upon hearing this, the Three-Legged Golden Phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly.
She remained silent, not responding.
"I wonder if Senior Golden Phoenix is interested in joining us to explore the rules beyond the Legendary rank..."
At this point, Qiao Meng'an finally revealed the true purpose of his visit.
The Three-Legged Golden Phoenix felt a faint energy fluctuation upon hearing these words.
The voice turned cold and sharp, "Headmaster Qiao, are you planning to restrict my personal freedom?"
"Not at all, not at all."
Qiao Meng'an shook her head, "Just now, I made it very clear that I only wanted to invite Senior Golden Crow to explore the path of rules beyond legends."
While saying "not at all, not at all," in reality, eight figures had slowly appeared around the rooftop.
Just a glance was enough to make Three-Legged Golden Crow feel a tingling sensation on its scalp.
These eight figures, resembling humans, were all Transcendent Royal Clans of the Legendary Rank.
Especially one of them, an old man-like figure, gave it a sense of unfathomable depth and extreme danger.
Could it be... beyond legends...
At this thought, its heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.
"This is indeed the style of human Beastmasters, not allowing any uncontrollable factors!" Three-Legged Golden Crow narrowed its eyes, having made a decision in its heart.
In reality, it had no choice.
Humans held the knife, and it was the fish; to avoid suppression, it could only agree obediently.
Finally, with a complex heart, it replied, "I can agree to join you."
"But I promised Xia Hou Lan to guard the Xiahou Clan for a hundred years."
Qiao Meng'an laughed heartily, a very cheerful laugh, "Xia Hou Lan is also a member of our Kansai Beastmaster University, and guarding the Xiahou Clan doesn't conflict with joining our Kansai Beastmaster University."
"In that case, I congratulate Senior Golden Crow on joining our Kansai Beastmaster University, no, we should call you 'Professor Golden Crow' now!" Qiao Meng'an had achieved her goal for this trip, and she was in a very good mood.
Three-Legged Golden Crow smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Don't call me 'Professor Golden Crow,' Three-Legged Golden Crow is just my race, not my name. My name is..."
At this point, Three-Legged Golden Crow suddenly fell silent, as if immersed in distant memories.
After a moment, it said leisurely, "My name is Phoenix Caiyi!"
This was the name given to it by its late Beastmaster.
At first, they had no idea what the evolved form of the Unique Golden-Crowned Red Chicken would be, and instinctively hoped it would evolve into a high-flying, heavenly Phoenix.
That's how the name came about.
Speaking this name, it couldn't help but reminisce about that old memory, and for a moment, it sighed.
"Then I'll be waiting for Professor Phoenix at Kansai Beastmaster University." Having achieved her goal, Qiao Meng'an didn't linger, and in a flash of light, her figure disappeared from the rooftop.
"Sister Caiyi, you're so brave to dare to confront Old Man Qiao head-on. That old man is quite terrifying..." Seeing that Qiao Meng'an had left, White Dragon stuck out its tongue and patted its chest.
"Are human Beastmasters like this?" Phoenix Caiyi sighed helplessly.
"Most human Beastmasters are extremely weak, and this is their stronghold. They wouldn't allow an uncontracted Legendary Beast to live unrestrained here!" White Dragon stated the facts.
"It seems like you're destined to be Professor Phoenix."
Phoenix Caiyi spread her hands, "Do I have any other choice?"
"Yes, when Old Man Qiao passes away, you'll have a chance to regain your freedom!" White Dragon said matter-of-factly.
But Phoenix Caiyi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Although human lifespans are short, their talents are also unprecedented...
Old Man Qiao is just the outstanding one among their generation. Who knows if the next generation will have even more extraordinary individuals...
Moreover, Old Man Qiao has most likely already surpassed the Legendary Rank.
Rumor has it that breaking through the Legendary Rank will also break the shackles of human lifespan.
Perhaps, he might live longer than me..."
White Dragon sighed helplessly, "So, you'll never have a chance?"
"Actually, being a professor is not bad..."
Phoenix Caiyi comforted herself, "And I also want to see what the scenery beyond the Legendary Rank is like..."
