Chapter 1551: Finally Running Into Another Beast-Tamer

What met the eye was only thick smoke and fiery red lava, along with endless fire-element beasts to slaughter.

In his ears were the sounds of lava rolling, volcanoes erupting, and the occasional rumble of an earthquake.

His nose was filled with the stinging smell of sulfur.

And the searing, scorching heat!

The underground world was a barren wasteland.

An ordinary beast-tamer simply could not survive in a place like this!

Ten days passed, and Elder Yun began to feel bored.

Fortunately, Su Yang was there to keep her company, giving her someone to talk to.

Twenty days passed, and Elder Yun began to feel stifled.

No matter how much one talks, there comes a time when everything has been said.

Everything that could be talked about, Elder Yun had pretty much discussed with Su Yang.

To keep chatting would mean getting into secrets and confidential matters.

A month passed, and Elder Yun was beginning to lose patience.

She looked at Su Yang, who by now had swapped out Yinglong and had Elder Yan Mo attach himself to Su Yang's body.

He was rolling little fireballs, shaping little fire eagles, and blowing things up with great delight.

Every now and then, Elder Yun could still catch the faint smile that curled at the corner of Su Yang's mouth after an explosion.

"Su Yang, aren't you bored?"

"Not really!" Su Yang said with a smile, "Aren't we here to search for that phoenix?"

"Right!"

After a month of searching the underground lava world, they had come up empty-handed, but they still hadn't finished covering the phoenix's territory.

In truth, for a divine beast, they could track it for a year, ten years, even a hundred.

But the underground world was simply too barren, too boring.

"Su Yang, thank goodness you're here!"

"Me?"

"Without you, I'd probably have died of boredom!" Elder Yun said with a laugh.

Su Yang smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Elder Yun's words were a bit exaggerated.

Without him, boredom was a certainty.

Dying of boredom, however, was impossible.

"Su Yang, have you ever thought about joining our Eight Treasures Studio?"

"I'm currently a General of the Federation!"

"That doesn't conflict with you joining Eight Treasures Studio!" Elder Yun said, "Take me, for example. I'm not only an elder of Eight Treasures Studio, but also royalty of the Wuyun Kingdom."

"Wuyun Kingdom?"

Su Yang knew of this country.

It was a fairly famous great empire, considerably stronger than the Qingluan Kingdom.

However, it was also quite far from the Qingluan Kingdom, making it hard to influence the Qingluan Kingdom.

The strongest nation near the Qingluan Kingdom was the Divine Wind Kingdom.

The two countries frequently clashed and had friction.

Around the Qingluan Kingdom and the Divine Wind Kingdom, most of the territories belonged to small countries.

These small countries had no divine beast-tamers and could only attach themselves to either the Qingluan Kingdom or the Divine Wind Kingdom, eking out a living in the cracks between them.

"Yes, the Wuyun Kingdom. Have you heard of it?"

"I have!"

"For someone like you, who isn't a direct lineage member of Eight Treasures Studio, even if you're a divine beast-tamer, joining Eight Treasures Studio is actually quite difficult. It requires not only powerful strength, but also an assessment, then sponsorship and recommendation from other elders, and finally the agreement of the majority of elders, only then can you join!" Elder Yun said, smiling as she looked at Su Yang, "Getting an elder's sponsorship and recommendation is extremely difficult, because if something goes wrong, the elder who sponsored you will be implicated. Generally, elders are unwilling to sponsor others."

"Oh!"

Su Yang wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he kept feeling that Elder Yun wanted to be his sponsor.

"Su Yang, do you have any thoughts about joining Eight Treasures Studio?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet!"

"Actually, for someone like you, joining Eight Treasures Studio has many benefits. Our Eight Treasures Studio still counts as having some influence in the Beast-Tamer Great World!"

"You were born in a small world, and being able to break through to the divine rank is already a heaven-gifted talent, but the road ahead will be extremely difficult. Join Eight Treasures Studio, and you'll have many seniors who can guide your path!"
