108: I was careless!

“Full of Mental energy, young and strong.”

“Truly excellent, just a little bit behind Chu Yu.”

Chu Yu saw this and stopped himself from speaking, his teacher was starting to make enemies for him again.

Old man, when will you ever stop with this habit?

That old geezer is starting again, isn't he?

Today, I'll let you know what a true Beastmaster Talent is.

Gu Li smiled insincerely, speaking neither warmly nor coldly.

“That is natural, I can’t compare to Old Song’s discerning eye.”

The latter stroked his beard, his smile unwavering, an expression that said, 'What you said is very good, keep going.'

He then began to sense Lin Shu’s aura.

Mental energy was abundant, and his forehead was full.

His Mental level had actually reached the second rank?

One must know that his precious disciple was only at the second rank.

His eyes darted around, then he asked, feigning ease,

“Xiao Gu Zi, how old is this beloved disciple of yours?”

Gu Li felt a surge of delight in his heart, 'You feel something is wrong, don't you? It’s too late.'

He casually said, “He’s in First Year this year.”

As soon as his voice fell, Old Song’s expression changed.

Just in First Year?

That would make him around sixteen, which is the common age for Daxia students.

At most, he wouldn’t be over seventeen.

Doesn't that mean that the opponent’s Talent is almost on par with Chu Yu’s?

Perhaps even higher?

Chu Yu was also a bit surprised; he had originally thought the other party would be the same age as him.

He hadn't expected him to be a year younger.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Excellent, excellent.”

“It seems Central State University is about to produce another genius.”

You’re already panicking?

Then when you see Lin Shu’s Beast, you’ll be scared to death.

Gu Li chuckled and nodded, saying, “That is natural.”

“It’s getting late, why don’t we just start?”

He was already impatient to see Old Song’s terrified and bewildered expression.

Just thinking about it made him feel refreshed.

Old Song pondered for a moment; high Mental power doesn't necessarily mean high Beastmaster strength.

After all, it’s a Beast cultivated for only about half a year; how strong could it be?

Moreover, with Chu Yu’s Talent and strength,

This match is absolutely impossible to lose today!

He then decisively said, “Alright.”

Chu Yu’s expression shifted slightly; he had already sensed that Lin Shu was formidable, and it might not be possible to complete the task his teacher had given him today.

The ancient tall pagoda now shone brightly, full of flowing light, clearly activated.

Under the illumination, Lin Shu and Chu Yu were instantly sucked into the tower, disappearing from sight.

Old Song stared at the tall pagoda, hoping Chu Yu could climb a few more levels for him and bring some surprises.

He then asked, intentionally or unintentionally,

“What is the Beast level of this student of yours?”

He calculated in his mind that for Xiao Gu Zi to value him, his Talent naturally wouldn't be bad.

Considering his age, a Beast level of 25 would already be the limit.

This level of strength would be somewhat difficult to reach the 10th floor.

However, this Talent was already impressive enough.

Just when he thought he had a high regard for Lin Shu,

Gu Li’s words made his heart tremble.

“His Beast was just level 38 the day before yesterday, which is just average.”

Oh, level 38.

What?

“How much did you say?!”

...After the world went dark, Lin Shu arrived at a familiar place.

He immediately released Black Night Saturn and Ziyu.

Then he looked around.

Above him was a flowing black dome.

He stood on a hard, brown flagstone floor, surrounded by what looked like a large plaza.

There was no difference from before.

In the center, a mass of gray mist floated.

A moment later, a muscular lion emerged from it.

Its eyes were as large as copper bells, and it opened its bloodthirsty maw, intending to devour Lin Shu and the others in front of it.

But with a flash of a blade, a large lion’s head fell to the ground.

Its speed was so fast that it had no power to parry.

Lin Shu stood still, waiting to enter the next level.

With his current strength, anything below the tenth level couldn’t stop him for more than a few seconds.

At this moment, Lin Shu’s speed in climbing the tower was like a bulldozer, both fast and steady.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the tenth level.

The lake environment had already appeared on the sixth level; although the guardian hid in the water, it still had no power to parry under Saturn’s Battle Qi burst.

He passed easily.

Now the difficulty soared; the environment here was a forest.

Giant trees covered the sky, plants and trees stood tall, and the sounds of birds could be heard from time to time.

Two shadows actually appeared in the darkness of the tenth level.

Their figures were agile, stepping out, their entire bodies covered in jet-black fur.

On their foreheads was a crescent-shaped mark.

One on the left and one on the right, they intertwined, glaring fiercely at Lin Shu in front of them.

[Name]: Heavenly Moon Wolf

[Level]: Lv30

[Level Cap]: Lv92

[Status]: Frenzy

[Quality]: Perfect

[Attribute]: Ice

[Talent]: None

[Skills]: Junior — Bite - Proficient (122/200) · Ram - Proficient (36/200) ·

Intermediate - Ice Fang - Perfect (21/100) · Ice Shard Stab - Mastered (11/80) · Bone-Chilling Frost - Mastered (31/80)

Advanced - Snowfall Steps - Minor Accomplishment (33/120) · Frost Guard - Minor Accomplishment (43/120)

The strength wasn't too strong, just average.

However, with two Heavenly Moon Wolves flanking him, the danger was also extremely high.

One against two would quickly put him at a disadvantage, as most Beastmasters wouldn't contract a second Beast at this point like Lin Shu.

There would be space to attack the Beastmaster, and the situation could easily fall into a disadvantage.

Just then, the two Heavenly Moon Wolves rushed forward rapidly, their division of labor clear.

One charged directly at Lin Shu, while the other moved towards Black Night’s direction to block his defense.

They even knew simple tactical coordination.

Tsk tsk tsk, truly not simple.

However, their strength was still too weak, completely useless against him.

Without Lin Shu’s command, Saturn and Black Night both stepped forward simultaneously.

They challenged the Heavenly Moon Wolves one-on-one.

Saturn and Black Night showed somewhat cruel expressions, their faces unfriendly, and they immediately started fighting.

The outcome, of course, goes without saying; in less than half a minute,

They fell into a pool of blood, gradually dissipating.

Thus, the next is the 11th level... Old Song and Gu Li carefully watched the ancient tower.

The progression speed on it, like a slideshow, was astonishing.

“Holy cow! A god!”

“One level per minute, this is too abnormal!”

“Not even the tenth level took more than a minute...”

Old Song’s eyes drooped, his expression already a bit unnatural.

This speed couldn't be Chu Yu; as his teacher, he naturally knew his previous speed.

Then it could only be that kid Lin Shu.

A Beastmaster for half a year, and a Beast level of 38.

His somewhat stiff brain couldn't figure out how these two things fit together.

The seventh-level space below quietly lit up, clearly indicating Chu Yu was on this level.

No wonder Xiao Gu Zi suddenly came to challenge him a few days ago.

Because he was full of confidence, he even added a wager.

The wager was even a bet with a ninth-rank spiritual objects.

Even as a Spirit Origin-level Beastmaster, such a spiritual objects would make him feel a pang of pain.

But for his good disciple, believing in his strength,

He resolutely accepted the wager.

But now... he understood, he understood, at this moment he understood everything.

You sly Xiao Gu Zi.

Wasn't it just that I showed off to you a bit too much in the past?

And you treat this old man like this.

Clearly, Old Song had a clear understanding of himself.

He understood what his problem was.

I was careless!
