83: Human War God

Su Shanhai handed Chen Fei a spatial ring, ": I said before, as long as you participate in the competition, I will personally give you a batch of resources."

"You are only giving this to me because Shanhai Academy performed well, right!" Chen Fei teased slightly.

Su Shanhai puffed up his beard and glared: "How could that be, am I that kind of person, Su Shanhai?"

"But speaking of which, are you still hiding something?"

Chen Fei imitated his tone: "How could I? You also saw that my beast pets were all suppressed by those two Dragon Beasts."

Thinking of those two SS-Rank Potential Dragon Beasts, Su Shanhai also felt a sense of powerlessness.

Even if other seed academies came, they might not win, let alone them.

"Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. I'll introduce someone to you."

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Chen Fei.

He had long silver hair and wore a cyan long gown, looking very refined. His eyes were sharp yet carried a hint of kindness, possessing an air of returning to simplicity.

"Let me introduce you, this is my superior, Tuoba Zhiyuan. Do you know him?"

Chen Fei stared blankly at the person before him. How could he not know him:

"The peerless King-level Beast Tamer who single-handedly saved two major battle zones during the initial Strange Invasion, the owner of a Space System Yao Beast!"

And this was only the present!

In the future, Tuoba Zhiyuan would also be one of the main forces resisting the next advance of the Ten Evil Kings.

He was also the war god of the human race who perished together with the Third Evil King.

When people said they perished together, it was actually because the Third Evil King also specialized in the Space System.

Tuoba Zhiyuan fought with him from the Spirit Taming Continent to another space, after which the man and his beast vanished from the Spirit Taming Continent and never returned.

If Tuoba Zhiyuan were still around, it would probably not be so easy for the Ten Evil Kings to advance further.

Chen Fei had only heard legends of Tuoba Zhiyuan from others; he never expected to meet the actual person today.

Moreover, it was quite surprising that the so-called War God looked so refined in appearance.

In an instant, most of the effects of the monkey wine wore off.

"How about my superior? I told you he would recognize you!"

In front of others, Su Shanhai always maintained an imposing demeanor.

But in front of Tuoba Zhiyuan, he instantly became like a simple, foolish soldier.

"You were actually right!"

Then, Tuoba Zhiyuan looked at Chen Fei: "Little Su told me that your talent is not inferior to Jiang Nan's Daughter, but it's truly a pity that you haven't been nurtured by a King-level Beast Tamer."

"But!"

"That's what he thought. Based on the strength you displayed in the Hundred Cities Tournament, it's far from enough, nor is it comparable to Jiang Nan's Daughter."

Su Shanhai quickly added: "Chen Fei, don't be so secretive at a time like this. Didn't you come to the competition for resources? My superior can help you now."

"You talk too much!" Tuoba Zhiyuan cursed with a smile.

Su Shanhai chuckled twice and stopped talking.

Chen Fei did not speak immediately; he was weighing the pros and cons.

With the slaughter sacred codex, the resources of a King-level Beast Tamer were merely icing on the cake.

Was it worth exposing his full strength to gain Tuoba Zhiyuan's approval?

While Chen Fei hesitated, Tuoba Zhiyuan noticed something: "Little Su, it seems this young fellow doesn't fully trust you or me.

Very well, since you are not interested in this matter, let's stop here.

However, since we met by chance, I will give you something!"

As Tuoba Zhiyuan's voice fell, the figure disappeared.

Only a small cuboid box remained floating in mid-air.

[Spatial Barrier (One-time Use)

Excluding Space System, Time System, Seal System...]

"Chen Fei... you... sigh~~"

"You missed a great Opportunity!"

"Actually, my superior realized long ago that the Thunder Pupil Ape King was merely controlled by a Gu worm.

"Also, your Cat Demon is not an ordinary Cat Demon, but possesses rare Double Pupils.

"He just wanted to see your third pet to determine your true potential.

"But you didn't say anything, didn't mention anything, so naturally, he found it uninteresting..."

Su Shanhai stomped his feet in frustration, wishing he could turn iron into steel!

Tuoba Zhiyuan had always been alone, without heirs or disciples.

If Chen Fei could have been favored by him, it would have been a wonderful thing.

But now, it seemed it was all for naught!

Chen Fei did not respond, only silence followed silence.

Was he regretful?

Perhaps a little, but not much.

If he didn't have the slaughter sacred codex, he would have tried his best to fight for it.

"Forget it, forget it, let's leave it at that. Let's drink!"

Su Shanhai was very depressed. How could he feel better without downing a few large gulps of monkey wine?

"Thank you, Principal!" Although this didn't work out, Chen Fei accepted Su Shanhai's good intentions.

It was at this moment that Chen Fei understood why Su Shanhai, who was only a Grandmaster Beast Tamer, could guard immense wealth.

It turned out he had such a powerful figure backing him; who would dare to mess with him... Afterward, during the Hundred Cities Tournament, everyone's attention was focused on the championship final.

Various SS-Rank Potential Yao Beasts appeared frequently.

Immobilization, Yao Beast possession, Skill Fusion, Mirror Reflection, Puppet Control... All sorts of abilities dazzled the eyes.

Battles where trump cards were frequently revealed like this were even more exciting than the preliminary rounds.

In the end, the first place was won by Taiqing Academy from the Imperial City.

The second place went to a dark horse, Fanshan Academy, from a second-tier city.

Their beast pets were quite special: Dark System, Demon System, Necromancy System, Zombie System... Chen Fei even saw the Ghost System.

It was strange; this school seemed to have gathered every dark-attribute beast pet.

Third place was, as expected, Giant Dragon Academy.

And Shanhai Academy ranked 16th, setting a new historical record.

The benefit gained was that each person could choose one S-rank Beast Pet Egg.

Teams ranked 4th to 10th chose S-rank Young Beasts, along with a portion of Heaven And Earth Treasure.

The top three places received additional rewards, but Chen Fei did not know what they were.

Arriving at the beast pet Egg Incubation Center in the Imperial City, Chen Fei looked at the dense cluster of S-rank Beast Pet Eggs—four to five thousand in total.

There were even over a hundred SS-rank beast pet eggs.

In Tianqing City, even an S-rank Beast Pet Egg was extremely rare, yet here they were stored in piles.

The gap between first-tier and second-tier cities was truly hard to bridge.

"Each person only has one chance to choose. Once registered, it cannot be changed."

Chen Fei headed straight for the Assassin Class beast pet eggs...
