Chapter 49

Not only Wu Shang, but even Yun Hejing couldn't figure out why Yu Changsheng's Divine Sense was so powerful.

A Beast Tamer's Divine Sense is stronger than that of a cultivator of the same realm, but this superiority is generally only by one or two tenths; to be stronger by several times like Yu Changsheng is truly a bit exaggerated.

"Just what level has this youth's Soul Refining Technique been cultivated to?"

Yun Hejing suddenly felt a stir of excitement.

Beast Tamers have been in decline for a hundred-odd years; nowadays Golden Core True Persons are fewer and fewer, and only one Foundation Establishment Powerhouse has been born in ten years — her.

If this continues, perhaps Yushou Peak will even be struck off the list.

Yet the youth before her is merely fifteen or sixteen, and his Soul Refining Technique has already reached a level even she cannot fathom; clearly his talent as a Beast Tamer is superb, possibly surpassing all past Peak Masters! He might be the hope for Yushou Peak's revival!

The moment Yun Hejing thought of this, she grew a little excited; her eyes secretly glanced a few times at the Golden Core Elders beside her, saw them frowning with strange expressions, and her heart immediately settled considerably.

As early as when she discovered Yu Changsheng's extraordinariness, she had already secretly cut off the subsequent scenes.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm is Yushou Peak's secret realm, and her Divine Sense is stronger than others', so she severed the feed without anyone noticing, preventing the several Elders from seeing Yu Changsheng's exaggerated performance afterward.

It wasn't that Yun Hejing was judging a gentleman by a petty person's heart; within the same sect, the Five Peaks compete, and secret killing among disciples is not uncommon, while Yushou Peak has always been the weakest — a genius finally appears, what if he dies prematurely? So she would shield him as much as possible first.

"After he comes out, I'll take him to my Master and ask the old man to accept him as a Personal Transmitted Disciple!" Yun Hejing thought to herself.

Given Yu Changsheng's current performance, passing the Selection is no problem, unless some accident occurs.

Just then, the Shu Fa Peak Foundation Establishment Elder turned his head and asked.

"Strange, the scene inside seems to have turned blurry."

"It looks like something has happened; Elder Yun, do you know what's going on?"

Yun Hejing laughed heartily: "Probably the demonic beasts inside destroyed the Spell Technique Talisman Seal."

The Shu Fa Peak Foundation Establishment Elder stared at her and said: "The seal this old man set — a First Rank Demonic Beast cannot break it, unless someone."

"It seems something has happened inside!"

Suddenly, the Ba Dao Peak Elder spoke up, interrupting: "Quick, look at Wang Qizheng's scene!"

"What's going on? Demonic beasts rioting, a Beast Tide?"

"What did this kid do? How come so many demonic beasts are chasing him!"

"I, I seem to have seen him throw something out; at first he subdued a few First Rank Peak demonic beasts, but later the roars attracted other demonic beasts, and in the end it became like this."

The Yu Ding Peak Elder frowned tightly and said: "Perhaps some Pill."

"This Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm is not like the Wild; using such a Pill inside will provoke the hatred of other demonic beasts; these beasts live inside and are all familiar with each other — one roar becomes ten thousand roars."

"This is bad; what to do, Elder Wan, do you want the Selection to stop here?" The Ba Dao Peak Elder turned and asked.

And that rioting scene inside also left the Shu Fa Peak Elder and Yun Hejing staring dumbfounded.

"How about ending it here?" Yun Hejing said tensely.

She didn't expect the accident to happen so fast, catching her somewhat off guard; she only hoped the Selection would end quickly so she could take Yu Changsheng and leave.

But this Selection is led by Elder Wan; if he doesn't say stop, the other Elders dare not object.

Elder Wan narrowed his eyes, saw Wu Shang's aura disperse from the Ranking List, saw several Yu Jian Peak disciples die, and said coldly: "Continue."

"If it continues, the Outer Disciples will likely suffer very heavy casualties."

"Yes, yes."

Two Elders raised objections, but Elder Wan merely swept his gaze over them and they immediately fell silent.

【34】 "There are still too many people now; end it after one hour. Only when crisis looms do those who survive become the people our Wanxiang Sect needs!"

"There are still too many people now; end it after one hour." "Only when crisis looms overhead do those who survive become the people our Wanxiang Sect needs!"

"As for those who die, they are but ants."

Elder Wan's expression was cold, his eyes holding no reverence for life.

Faced with his forceful demand, the other Elders could only nod.

"Elder Wan is right; survival is a great trial, only those who overcome it count as excellent."

Yun Hejing's face turned ashen; she clenched her hand, wanting to speak, but the next second was pressed back by the aura emanating from Elder Wan.

"Then one hour it is; give those disciples one more hour."

Yun Hejing sighed and said.

Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

Yu Changsheng finished cleaning up the corpses on the ground, looked at Zhuang Yan whose expression was somewhat melancholy, and said: "Senior Brother Zhuang, partings of life and death like this will be very common from now on; you should get used to it."

"Not to mention friends killing each other, even brothers and fathers turn against one another; if you cannot accept this, the path of cultivation will be very hard to walk."

Zhuang Yan heard this, raised his head, looked at that face younger than his own, and gave a bitter laugh.

"I know; actually I understand it all."

"Setting foot on the path of cultivation means destined never to turn back."

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and said: "Let's go; we still need to work hard killing demonic beasts, killing people, gaining Talisman Jade and Contribution Points."

Yu Changsheng nodded, then seemed to think of something, took out half the Talisman Jade on him, and handed it to Zhuang Yan.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, you take these Talisman Jade; advancing to Outer Sect Disciple will be no problem."

Zhuang Yan looked at him in surprise and said: "These can all be exchanged for Sect Contribution; if you give them to me, won't you."

Yu Changsheng took out the remaining Talisman Jade and smiled: "These Talisman Jade are enough for me, and I don't want to rush to First Place; that would be too showy."

"Sometimes hiding a bit is more meaningful to me; as for Sect Contribution, after becoming an Outer Sect Disciple there will be plenty of time to earn it."

Zhuang Yan looked at him deeply, then nodded heavily: "Many thanks."

"I owe you more and more."

In the end he still accepted the Talisman Jade Yu Changsheng handed over.

Just as the two were about to head toward the depths of the secret realm, a burst of beast roars came from the distant dense forest, followed by the sound of countless demonic beasts' footsteps.

Hearing these demonic beasts' howls, both their complexions changed.

Yu Changsheng's face was grave as he said: "Looks like a demonic beast riot has broken out; we'd better retreat quickly, otherwise once caught in a Beast Tide we won't be able to escape!"

Having said that, he led the riders onto the Iron Eagle King, pulling Zhuang Yan upward to fly.

But they had only flown a few meters when they heard a beast roar behind them; looking back, they saw a mass of black shadows whistling past — all First Rank Demonic Beasts.

Their number was at least several hundred, and there might be even more behind.

And running at the very front was a Cultivator; he brushed past them, his gaze scanning over Yu Zhangsheng, suddenly brightening.

"Found it!"
