Chapter 439: Phantom Beast
Chapter 439: Phantom Beast
Surrounded by the Hellryu Wolf and the Golden Radiant Great Elephant, the Demon Realm's Three-Headed Dog barely stirred up any trouble.
They were easily suppressed.
In the end, under the Hellryu Wolf's skill "Sky-Rending Claws," the beast passed out, losing its fighting ability.
Up on the city wall, seeing this, Duan Kong casually threw a Beast Ball, capturing the Three-Headed Dog and sealing it inside.
With that, the entire Yingluo City, which had been in turmoil with its residents and pets on edge, finally found relief as the main culprit was dealt with effortlessly.
"It is said that the Sage Kong of Jiangnan Beastmaster University has already reached the Holy Spirit Rank, just one step away from the Legendary Rank," thought Teacher Liang.
Teacher Yang, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude directly, "Thank you, Director Duan. If it weren't for you, we would have been helpless against this beast for quite some time."
"No need to thank me," Duan Kong waved his hand, "We, as teachers and students of the Eight Schools Alliance, should always help each other."
"Moreover, Li Qian has done me a huge favor."
Seeing that Duan Kong didn't elaborate further, Teacher Yang assumed it was about Li Qian finding the overlapping Dimensional Plane."
Little did he know, Duan Kong's gratitude towards Li Qian went beyond that.
After dealing with the Three-Headed Dog, Duan Kong didn't waste any time. He took a few steps, preparing to return, when suddenly, Li Qian and his team finally arrived.
"What about the battle? What about the Three-Headed Dog?" Li Qian asked immediately upon seeing Duan Kong's intention to leave.
Duan Kong smiled, holding the Beast Ball in his hand, "Here it is, right here."
Li Qian looked at the Beast Ball in Duan Kong's hand, his mind went blank for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Was that it?
Isn't it a bit too fast?
The Three-Headed Dog, after all, after all, a Holy Spirit Rank Companion Beast. It was dealt with in just a few breaths?
Even folding clothes isn't that fast!
"Let's go, what are you staring at?" Seeing Li Qian's dazed expression, filled with shock, Duan Kong found it amusing. He walked over and patted Li Qian's shoulder.
"Oh!" Li Qian came back to his senses and followed Duan Kong down.
He sighed helplessly with a bitter smile.
What's going on here?
No matter how fast he rushed, he still didn't get to witness the scene of the Three-Headed Dog being knocked down.
Feeling a bit disappointed, he also realized that there were differences even among those of the same Holy Spirit Rank.
After a while, the group returned to Yingluo City. Duan Kong started a fire, taking out several skewers of meat from his storage equipment and roasting them.
Li Qian saw that the Hellryu Wolf, at the peak of the Holy Spirit Rank, was being used as a fire starter, and he couldn't help but smirk.
This Director Duan Kong was indeed carefree.
The group sat around the bonfire, Li Qian took a sip of water and began to tell his story of what happened after he entered the Dimensional Rift.
Upon confirming that Li Qian had indeed discovered the overlapping Dimensional Plane with Jiangnan Beastmaster University, a hint of joy appeared on everyone's faces.
They all understood what the discovery of the overlapping Dimensional Plane meant for Sha Zhou Beast University.
In recent years, Jiangnan Beastmaster University's ability to secure the second-tier position, just behind Kyoto Beastmaster University and Zhonghai Beastmaster University, was closely related to this fact.
The existence of overlapping regions between Jiangnan Beastmaster University and Zhonghai Beastmaster University's Dimensional Planes was something the alliance's upper echelon was well aware of.
It was because of this overlapping region that Jiangnan Beastmaster University was able to develop rapidly.
The resources and companion beasts between the two sides were almost completely interchangeable, providing an incredible opportunity for development.
Now, Sha Zhou Beast Taming University was about to hop on this convenient ride, or rather, two rides, with the chance to take off right before their eyes.
Of course, for Zhonghai Beastmaster Academy and Jiangnan Beastmaster Academy, the interconnection with Sha Zhou Beast Taming University's dimensional plane was also of extraordinary significance.
Both schools also welcomed new development opportunities.
Students, teachers, and high-level combatants from the two schools could also come here for training, without the need for long-distance travel in the real world, making their strategic value absolutely irreplaceable.
While they were excited, they also felt a bit envious of Li Qian's good fortune.
On his first foray into the deep dimensional plane, he encountered such an opportunity and made such a significant contribution. Upon returning to school, various rewards would surely be waiting for him.
However, upon further reflection, considering Li Qian's current achievements, these rewards were actually not that significant.
The group gathered around the bonfire and sat down. Li Qian took the charred yet tender meat passed to him by Master Duan Kong and began eating it with great relish.
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that not only are you exceptionally powerful, Master Duan, but your barbecue skills are also extraordinary," Li Qian said, giving a thumbs-up to Duan Kong while eating the meat.
"Of course. My barbecue skills are renowned for their deliciousness even within Jiangnan Beastmaster University," Duan Kong boasted.
Duan Kong added with a hint of arrogance, "You guys are lucky to have caught up with me. Ordinary people can't eat my barbecue."
"Master Duan, what kind of meat is this? It tastes a bit like lamb," Li Qian asked casually while eating.
Duan Kong chuckled, "You've got a good sense of taste. You actually can tell the difference. Yes, this is indeed lamb meat..."
He paused and continued, "...However, it's not ordinary lamb meat. It's the meat of an Overlord-rank Extraordinary Being, the Mane Rock Sheep."
"Don't eat too much. The energy contained in the meat is a bit too rich for your current stage. You can't absorb it all."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian's eyes widened in surprise. He picked up the skewer in his hand and examined it carefully...
This was the meat of an Overlord-rank companion beast!
Damn!
How extravagant!
Companion beasts of this caliber were rarely seen among ordinary people, let alone the opportunity to contract with them. Yet, here it was, being served as food by Duan Kong.
In fact, not only Li Qian but even Ms. Liang and the other two teachers felt that this was quite extraordinary.
The group ate, chatted, and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Irina noticed Li Qian bowing his head, fiddling with something, and playing with a smart bracelet. She casually asked, "Li Qian, what are you doing?"
"Ms. Liang, can you help me see what this is?" Li Qian waved his hand, and a strand of light suddenly shot out from the smart bracelet.
The light rapidly condensed in mid-air, quickly forming a light screen.
On the screen appeared a pitch-black humanoid monster.
Ms. Liang glanced at it casually, and upon seeing the image Li Qian displayed, she exclaimed, "Phantom Beast!"
"Where did you see this thing?!"
"Pfft!" Duan Kong, sitting next to them, had just taken a sip of wine when he heard the words "Phantom Beast." He couldn't help but spray the liquid out.
Seeing Ms. Liang and Master Duan's reactions, Li Qian's face turned solemn.
The fact that both Ms. Liang and Master Duan showed such uncharacteristic reactions could only mean that this Phantom Beast was not ordinary!
