157: It's great that you're here! My Yang family is going to make a great contribution!

"Su Yuan, what Rank is your Beastmaster now? Your speed is so fast!"

High in the sky, Shangguan Yunqian stood on Little Flame's back, feeling the clouds whistling past and rapidly being left behind. She couldn't help but ask Su Yuan with a look of surprise.

"That's right, Su Yuan, why do I feel like your Beast's flying speed is even faster than a King-Level Beast's?"

Hearing Shangguan Yunqian's words, Huangfu Yunzhao also looked at Su Yuan.

She also had the same question as Shangguan Yunqian.

She had come to Nine Provinces Academy from Tianyun City with Su Yuan, riding Song Zhenfeng's King-Level Beast, the Silverwing Gryphon.

But now she felt that the Beast flying beneath her was even faster than the Silverwing Gryphon she had ridden before!

One must know that the Silverwing Gryphon was a King-Level Beast, and a single flap of its wings could easily break the sound barrier!

Among King-Level Beasts, the Silverwing Gryphon belonged to the flying type of Beast, and its speed could definitely Rank among the top of its Rank.

Little Flame's flying speed was quite a bit faster than the Silverwing Gryphon's. At this speed, they would be able to return to Tianyun City in ten hours!

"Little Flame is currently Lord Rank stage eight, but it just happens to be good at flying. Its flying speed is much higher than other Beasts of the same Rank, which is why you feel it's fast."

"In terms of strength, Little Flame still has a considerable gap compared to a true King-Level Beast."

Facing the two women's questions, Su Yuan did not hide anything this time and spoke of Little Flame's actual situation.

Just like when Su Yuan rode the Silverwing Gryphon, Little Flame also automatically released a burst of energy during its rapid flight, enveloping Su Yuan and Huangfu Yunzhao.

This allowed the three of them, though standing on the rapidly flying Little Flame's back, to feel no obstruction. The howling winds around them couldn't even move a single strand of their hair.

"Lord... Lord... Rank... stage... eight!!!"

Su Yuan's words were like a clap of thunder in Huangfu Yunzhao and Shangguan Yunqian's minds, causing both of them to tremble. Even their speech became stiff.

With deep shock and astonishment, the two turned their heads to look at each other, exclaiming almost word by word.

They had only just learned that Su Yuan had Breakthrough to a Lord-level Beastmaster two months ago.

When they were celebrating for Su Yuan at Nine Provinces Academy, both Shangguan Yunqian and Huangfu Yunzhao believed that after two months, Su Yuan's strength would at most be Lord Rank stage three or four.

They never expected that Su Yuan's single sentence would completely overturn their understanding.

"Monster!"

Huangfu Yunzhao and Shangguan Yunqian looked at each other, and after a long moment of stunned silence, they both whispered two words in unison.

Su Yuan was a monster. It was already absurd enough that Su Yuan had Breakthrough to Lord-level within three months of entering Nine Provinces Academy.

They didn't expect that Su Yuan's strength Rank would directly increase to Lord Rank stage eight in the next two months, which was even more absurd!

"Hehe, these two girls, just Lord Rank stage eight Little Flame made them so shocked that they froze in place."

"If they knew that I am now half a step into the King-Level, and my Beasts are all of legendary quality, wouldn't they be so stimulated they'd faint?"

Feeling the reactions of Shangguan Yunqian and Huangfu Yunzhao, Su Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Shaking his head, Su Yuan ultimately decided not to reveal more of his strength, lest he truly scare the two beauties behind him.

And Shangguan Yunqian and Huangfu Yunzhao, after exclaiming 'monster' with astonished expressions, also fell silent.

They had both been deeply disheartened by Su Yuan.

Compared to Su Yuan, they were simply not worthy of being called Genius.

Even Shangguan Yunqian, who possessed SSS-Rank Beast Taming Talent, felt this way.

At the time of enrollment, everyone was an Extraordinary-level Beastmaster.

In fact, her Rank was several stages higher than Su Yuan's when she enrolled.

After one semester, she was still at Commander Rank stage eight, while Su Yuan had surpassed her by an entire major Realm, reaching Lord Rank stage eight.

The speed of their strength improvement was simply not on the same level.

At this moment, both Shangguan Yunqian and Huangfu Yunzhao vaguely had a guess about Su Yuan's Talent.

Such a Cultivate speed could absolutely not be possessed by a Genius with SSS-Rank Beast Taming Talent.

Su Yuan's Beast Taming Talent was very likely SSS-Rank!

Thinking of this, both of them fell silent.

Throughout history, many Beastmasters with SS-Rank Beast Taming Talent had appeared in Great Xia.

But there was only one Beastmaster with SSS-Rank Beast Taming Talent, and that was Xue Zhengyi, who still held the top spot on the Tower of Babel monument at Nine Provinces Academy.

Although Xue Zhengyi was born later, he rose rapidly from behind, becoming the Human Race's number one Expert in just a few decades!

Su Yuan possessed the same SSS-Rank Talent as him, so his status and importance to Great Xia went without saying.

Shangguan Yunqian felt that one day, if a choice had to be made between the entire Shangguan Family and Su Yuan, the higher-ups of Great Xia would undoubtedly choose to sacrifice everyone in the Shangguan Family to protect Su Yuan.

"Today's speculation, I must keep it to myself and never reveal any information!"

Understanding Su Yuan's importance to Great Xia, Shangguan Yunqian had already made up her mind.

The expression on Huangfu Yunzhao's face beside her was identical to Shangguan Yunqian's. Clearly, she had also thought of what Shangguan Yunqian had and made the same decision as Shangguan Yunqian.

Just as Su Yuan and the two women stood silently on Little Flame's back, hurrying on their journey.

In a secret room deep within the Yang Family mansion in Black Market City, several hundred miles north of Tianyun City.

Yang Potian, the Clan Chief of the Yang Family, looked at the secret letter that had arrived from outside, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect such an unexpected gain this time!"

"I originally only planned to kill Huangfu Yunzhao and Su Yuan, this pair of Genius, but I didn't expect Shangguan Yunqian to get involved this time too!"

"This time, there are at least two Genius with SS-Rank Beast Taming Talent!"

"If this operation can kill both of them, my Yang Family will have rendered a great service!"

"My good grandson, your news came truly in time!"

"After today, I will surely receive the Demon God's reward and step into the King-Level! Even the Emperor-level will be within reach!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"However, since Shangguan Yunqian is involved, there might be Experts from the Shangguan Family following. Well, I'll still upload this news to the main church and have them send more Experts to ensure a swift kill!"

After a hearty laugh, Yang Potian took the secret letter in his hand, left the secret room directly, summoned his Beast, and flew into the distance.

The secret letter in Yang Potian's hand was sent by Yang Di from Nine Provinces Academy.

It stated that Shangguan Yunqian had accompanied Su Yuan and the others to Tianyun City, asking the Yang Family to consider giving up their plan against Su Yuan.

What Yang Di didn't expect was that his secret letter not only failed to make his grandfather abandon the assassination plan against Su Yuan, but instead made his grandfather determined to succeed in this assassination.

Yang Di had never known that his grandfather had already pledged allegiance to the Demon God Church.

The Soul-Devouring Gu Worm on Huangfu Shiyao's body earlier was precisely from Yang Potian's hand.
