Chapter 1776

"That powerful?"

Xiao Xiao Chutong believed she was already a super genius.

This wasn't arrogance; it was confidence.

It was confidence granted by reality!

"A God-Rank Beast Tamer at fifty—you understand?"

"Mm!" Xiao Xiao Chutong nodded. "That's incredibly powerful—among the entire Central Region in the last five thousand years, her talent is definitely among the top!"

A God-Rank Beast Tamer once judged Xiao Xiao Chutong as a rare genius of the past thousand years in the Central Region.

Now she heard that Tan Zhiqing became a God-Rank Beast Tamer at fifty.

She could hardly imagine it!

Elder Jian opened his mouth, about to say something.

But he soon furrowed his brow slightly: "Actually, strictly speaking, Tan Zhiqing is indeed a super genius—but recently, I've also heard of another peerless genius, one who would still be a once-in-ten-thousand-years marvel even in the Great Jin Empire… someone who could rival the Jin Emperor!"

"Also in our Central Region?"

Elder Jian nodded.

Xiao Xiao Chutong grew curious: "Who is it? Why have I never heard of them?"

"Su Yang of the Huaxia Federation—a General!"

"I've heard of the Huaxia Federation—they came from the Outer Region and already had a God-Rank Beast Tamer upon entering the Central Region…" Xiao Xiao Chutong whispered, "But I heard the God-Rank Beast Tamer of the Huaxia Federation was called… Sovereign Jiazi?"

Elder Jian sighed: "Before the Huaxia Federation entered the Central Region, that Su Yang had already perished."

"Perished?"

"Mm!" Elder Jian nodded. "He was probably killed by the Shenlongshang Alliance!"

"How talented was he?"

"A God-Rank Beast Tamer under thirty!"

"No way?" Xiao Xiao Chutong exclaimed. "I heard Beast Tamers from small worlds are never very strong…"

"Exactly! But he did it!" Elder Jian said. "I heard this from Elder Long and Elder Yun—they once trained alongside that Su Yang. Had he not met with misfortune, all of you, before him, wouldn't even qualify as geniuses!"

"He was truly incredible!"

Xiao Xiao Chutong knew perfectly well how difficult it was to become a God-Rank Beast Tamer.

A God-Rank Beast Tamer at fifty had already shattered her worldview.

A God-Rank Beast Tamer under thirty completely overturned her imagination.

"What a pity—he died too young!"

Elder Jian no longer dwelled on it; having lived for thousands of years, he had seen many heavenly prodigies perish prematurely.

"Tan Zhiqing's father, the Tan Society's chairman, was formerly one of the deputies to General Zhu Yijing of the Great Jin Empire's Zhu Que Legion—his cultivation is God-Rank High-Grade Beast Tamer! If the Great Jin Empire truly had a solution, Tan Zhiqing would have no reason to be unaware!" Elder Jian told Xiao Xiao Chutong. "Do you understand now?"

"I understand!"

"If Tan Zhiqing doesn't know how to proceed, you might consider Elder Chen Feng."

Xiao Xiao Chutong complained: "Elder Jian, Elder Chen Feng's conditions are too extreme!"

Elder Jian shook his head: "It's just serving as a subordinate—those conditions shouldn't be considered extreme…"

"Serving as a subordinate isn't extreme?"

Xiao Xiao Chutong felt both amused and exasperated.

"Of course it isn't—it's about weighing gains against losses!" Elder Jian smiled. "From what I know, Elder Chen Feng is extremely generous and loves nurturing talent."

"How so?"

"Not long ago, he obtained a God-Rank Mid-Grade potential divine beast egg!"

"Huh?"

"He gave it to his disciple. Do you understand now?"

"So generous? Isn't he just a God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer?"

"He's only a God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer, yet he gave his disciple a God-Rank Mid-Grade ferocious beast egg—that's why I say he's generous!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao Chutong felt slightly less resistant toward "Elder Chen Feng."

"By the way!" Elder Jian yipainao, "I forgot—I know you've met Elder Chen Feng's disciple, Liu Na, right?"

"I've met her!"

She had naturally noticed Xia Na, who accompanied Su Yang.

A very beautiful Miss, but her gaze toward her carried a hint of mockery and coldness.

"His disciple Liu Na's Beast Tamer talent is stronger than yours!"

"What level is she?"

"Under a hundred years old, God-Rank Beast Tamer!" Elder Jian whispered. "I don't know her exact age."

"No way!"

Xiao Xiao Chutong felt another blow.

She covered her face, nearly believing Elder Jian's words.

Because when she saw "Liu Na," she had instinctively felt the other girl was younger than her!

"If Elder Chen Feng is willing to nurture you, you might consider it—he has exceptional insight and experience, second only to the chairman and the Grand Elder, and his combat strength is extremely formidable—he can easily defeat a God-Rank Mid-Grade elder of the Shenlongshang Alliance!" Elder Jian said. "Until you reach God-Rank Mid-Grade, you can serve beside him."

"He means I should pledge loyalty for life!"

Elder Jian countered: "If your strength surpasses his, would he still command you?"

"Huh? That's true!"

"Elder Chen is at least two thousand years old—a two-thousand-year-old God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer… don't you have confidence?"

"Of course there is!"

After Elder Jian's pointers, Xiao Chutong suddenly felt as if a fog had lifted from her mind!

"Good that you understand. If it really won't work, just try taking someone as your master — he might agree too!" Elder Jian said with a smile. "Alright, talking about it now is useless. Let's look at Tan Zhiqing's side!"

Three days later at dusk, Su Yang and Xia Na, who were eating, suddenly sensed a violent surge of energy.

An extremely powerful beast-tamer was rushing toward Eight Treasures City.

This surge of energy had already completely surpassed a God-Rank Mid-Grade beast-tamer.

He set down his chopsticks, walked to the balcony, and gazed east.

Five minutes later, he saw a massive, fiery-red sparrow divine beast.

This fiery-red divine beast was extraordinarily beautiful, its entire body covered in blazing crimson feathers.

The gorgeous crimson feathers dyed the entire dusk blood-red.

"What a beautiful divine beast!"

"Truly beautiful!"

Looks alone — this divine beast was almost on par with the Annihilation Phoenix!

Su Yang quickly obtained intel on this beautiful divine beast.

Blaze-Feather Zhu Que!

Strength: God-Rank High-Grade!

"Eight Treasures City hasn't activated its defenses — it must be someone they know." Xia Na asked softly, "Is this Eight Treasures Hall's trump card?"

"Who reveals their trump card right out in the open?"

"Then who is it?"

"Probably reinforcements for Eight Treasures Hall!"

"From the Great Jin?"

"Most likely!"
