32: Difficulty of upgrading the mythical beast

Seeing that the Gengjin Xuan Turtle had completed its advancement, Su Bai left the contract room directly.

"Sir, this is our Qinglong Commerce's VIP card, please accept it."

The manager of Qinglong Commerce respectfully handed over a membership card.

"Oh, right, let me ask, do you have any divine crystals here?"

Su Bai looked at the manager in front of him and asked softly.

He would need divine crystals for his upcoming class advancement.

Su Bai had never heard of such a thing.

This was the limitation of coming from a small place; some top-tier resources were simply out of reach.

"Divine crystals? We really don't have any."

"These things can only be found in the Pride Tower, or in the Demon Abyss."

The manager quickly shook his head when he heard that.

"Demon Abyss?"

At these words, Su Bai couldn't help but frown.

The Demon Abyss was a very special secret realm, located above the starry sky.

In this secret realm, countless demons lived, as well as the legendary Demon Lord.

It was said that the Demon Lord was an existence comparable to a god.

Only those who reached Nine Revolutions or above were qualified to enter the Demon Abyss.

"What is the Pride Tower?"

Su Bai quickly asked.

"The Pride Tower is the Great Xia Country's national treasure."

"This tower has 99 floors, and passing each floor will grant generous rewards."

"Of course, the Pride Tower also has restrictions; only powerhouses under twenty years old are allowed to enter."

"After the college entrance examination each year, the Pride Tower will open."

"However, basically no new students participate; most of them are professionals under twenty."

"Of course, if there is truly a heaven-defying talent, it is possible."

"After all, these new students are unwilling to sacrifice their Pride Tower qualifications to benefit others."

The manager quickly explained.

Most of the new generation of college entrance examination students were just turned 18.

If they could spare two years to push their levels, they could also obtain a considerable amount of cultivation resources in the Pride Tower.

Most of the class changers in the Great Xia Country would wait two years to maximize their benefits.

"Alright, thank you."

Hearing this, Su Bai nodded and turned to walk out of the commerce hall.

After returning to his luxurious villa, Su Bai began to study his class advancement mission.

【You have activated the Third Revolution mission.】

【Current Mission: Third Revolution】

【Mission Requirement: Let my name be heard throughout the territory of the Great Xia Country.

Participate in this year's Pride Tower competition, successfully obtain first place, and cross 100 floors of the Pride Tower in a record-breaking manner.】

【Mission Duration: One month】

【Note: This is a special mission; after class advancement, you will receive generous rewards】

"Good heavens, this is playing with my mind!"

Su Bai looked at the class advancement mission in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Jiang Lin, that Old Man, desperately kept the news under wraps, fearing that he would be harmed by villains.

But this class advancement mission was desperately trying to make him famous, as if afraid he lived too comfortably.

Forget it! Forget it!

So be it!

Anyway, he couldn't possibly wait two years before going to this so-called Pride Tower!

First, he would enter the Qinglong Academy's mysterious space and get two King Tier beast companions.

After returning to Qinglong Academy, Su Bai went directly to the dean's small courtyard.

"Old Man, are you Nine Revolutions?"

Su Bai looked at the Old Man basking in the sun in front of him and asked softly.

"How dare you speak to the dean like that?"

"This Old Man is the dean of Qinglong Academy."

Sun Shan had never heard anyone call him Old Man before, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

This little brat was really disrespectful.

"I need some divine crystals. Would you like to sponsor some?"

Su Bai was not polite and quickly said.

"You want divine crystals? No problem."

"But you have to promise me two things."

Sun Shan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

He was just worrying about how to get this kid to do things for him, but he didn't expect him to come knocking on his door.

"Tell me, I'll listen."

Su Bai hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

"First, there are quite a few new students this year, and many unruly fellows have arrived. Let them experience what true despair is."

"Second, you will represent the seniors in this year's academy competition, striving to overpower the crowd and elevate our Qinglong Academy to the status of one of the Five Great Academies in the country."

Sun Shan extended two fingers and said meaningfully.

No one in this world knew better than him the terror of ancestral beast companions. These two things were basically a piece of cake for Su Bai.

"Alright, I promise you."

Su Bai nodded and readily agreed.

"Here, take it!"

Sun Shan, that Old Man, took out ten divine crystals from his pocket and placed them on the table beside him.

"Only ten? Why are you so stingy?"

Su Bai looked at the lonely ten divine crystals on the table, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

"You still think it's too little?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to obtain this thing?"

"This thing only has a chance to drop when killing high-level demons, and it's a national strategic reserve resource."

Sun Shan immediately sat up when he heard this, saying somewhat frantically.

Human greed knows no bounds; this kid's appetite was too big.

"Wait a minute, if that's what you're saying, then let me ask you something else."

Su Bai's face clearly showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.

"dark god stone, nether god stone, dark saint, Forget-Me-Not Water, dark divine crystal, have you heard of these things?"

A bad premonition welled up in Su Bai's heart.

"Kid, are you kidding me?"

"Even if you brought out the Great Xia Country's national treasury, you might not be able to gather all these things."

Sun Shan listened to the materials Su Bai reported, his brows furrowed, and then he shook his head.

It's over.

It's confirmed.

It seemed that cultivating his beast companion to a divine beast was not just difficult.

From this, it could be seen how much effort a normal person would have to put in to cultivate a beast companion to the divine beast stage!

"Alright, I understand. Open that secret realm as soon as possible; I don't have time to wait anymore."

Su Bai collected the divine crystals on the table and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

"What does this kid want so many divine crystals and divine stones for?"

Looking at Su Bai's departing back, Sun Shan couldn't help but mutter.

In the next few days, Su Bai stayed in Qinglong Academy, rarely even leaving his room.

After three full days, the day finally arrived for all the new students to gather.

He could also start preparing to contract his fourth and fifth beast companions.

In the school square, Sun Shan, that Old Man, was dressed exceptionally elegantly, standing in the center of the square.

"Students, I know why you are here."

"I also hope that you will not let down my expectations of you, and not let down Qinglong Academy's cultivation of you!"

As his voice fell, a green light shot up into the sky, soaring straight into the clouds.
