Chapter 38 News about the Buyer

The Mad Lion Bloodline can be upgraded, so Zhao Feiyu was very confident that his talent could be elevated to a Black Bloodline.

But reaching the Gold Bloodline level, the same as his sister's, would be impossible without some miraculous encounter.

In their Family's hundreds of years of history, only one person had successfully upgraded to a Gold Bloodline; all other Gold Bloodlines were innate.

Thus, the results Zhao Feiyu had achieved at this moment were already enough to make him quite proud.

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Zhao Feifei's eyes. "You've indeed made significant progress. A Purple Extreme Bloodline combined with the strength of a Rank 2 Martial Artist means you're set for the Martial Arts Grand Examination at the end of next month. Barring any accidents, you'll definitely get into Kyoto Martial Arts University."

Zhao Feiyu looked smug. "This time, Grandfather shouldn't use me as a negative example in the Family's internal meetings anymore."

"Don't talk nonsense. Grandfather still has high expectations for you," Zhao Feifei said quickly.

Just then, the wooden door of the upstairs study opened, and Zhao Tianlong walked out.

Seeing Zhao Feiyu's boisterous behavior, he frowned slightly and spoke with a hint of severity, "How old are you now? Still acting like a child?"

Zhao Feiyu immediately stopped, like a rooster being choked, but he couldn't help muttering softly, "I was just sharing the results of my training with Sis..."

Zhao Tianlong ignored his excuse, his gaze falling on him, and then his pupils constricted slightly.

The slight displeasure from before vanished instantly, replaced by ill-concealed joy. "You've had a Breakthrough to Rank 2? And your Bloodline purity has reached the Purple Extreme?"

He clearly sensed that the Essence Force in his son's body had not only reached Rank 2, but the Mad Lion Bloodline was also close to the Purple Extreme—a full year faster than he had expected!

"Of course!" Zhao Feiyu's spirits lifted again instantly. He was about to continue bragging when he saw his father change the subject. "Chu Han helped you quite a bit, didn't he?"

The smile on Zhao Feiyu's face froze, and his eyes instantly became wary. He said very unhappily, "Dad, did you send someone to tail me? I told you I could take care of myself!"

Zhao Tianlong sat down on the sofa and said calmly, "I didn't have anyone tail you. It was only when Chu Han went to the Martial Artist Association today to claim the bounty for the Night Owl Squad that I learned you two went to the wilderness together."

Although he had learned this information before Zhao Feiyu even headed out, he had no intention of revealing that to his son.

"What happened to Chu Han? Why are you checking on him?" Zhao Feiyu asked anxiously.

"He's fine. It's just that he wiped out the entire Night Owl Squad, which caused quite a stir. The Association's top brass are paying close attention to him and want to nurture him as a key Genius of Jiangcheng City; they just don't know much about his situation yet."

Zhao Feifei on the screen asked in surprise, "Wiped out the entire Night Owl Squad? Who is this Chu Han that all of you are taking him so seriously?"

"Sis, you have no idea! Brother Han is incredible!"

Seeing his sister's interest, Zhao Feiyu's enthusiasm was piqued. He said, "His Potential Value is even higher than yours! It's just that he hasn't had an Awakening of any talent. He used to go to the Third Middle School and was treated unfairly, so he just quit. He even had a duel with a teacher and knocked him down with a single punch!"

"Oh? His Potential Value actually exceeds mine."

Zhao Feifei immediately became more interested in Chu Han.

"There's more!"

Zhao Feiyu continued to recount Chu Han's deeds with added flourish.

"Not only did he kill a Rank 3 Black-Maned Lion without taking any damage, but he could also forcibly absorb the lion blood potion and successfully Cultivate without having the Mad Lion Bloodline or practicing the Mad Lion Art!"

"And then there's Night Owl—that guy was a Rank 4 Martial Artist. Brother Han first watched from the sidelines while the Night Owl Squad and the Black-Maned Lion King fought to the death, then he showed up to kill Night Owl and brought back the corpse of that Rank 4 Black-Maned Lion King."

Zhao Feiyu gestured excitedly, his eyes full of admiration as if he were the one who had done those things.

The living room was silent, with only Zhao Feiyu's voice echoing.

Zhao Tianlong's hand holding the teacup froze mid-air. His eyes shifted from initial calm to gravity, and finally to shock.

"Absorbing lion blood potion without Bloodline assistance, killing a Rank 3 exotic beast without injury, and even killing the Rank 4 Night Owl... How is this just a Genius? He's a total Prodigy!"

Zhao Feifei on the screen was also shocked. "Absorbing lion blood potion without Bloodline assistance... his physical strength and willpower are simply inhuman! Dad, this Chu Han is worth paying close attention to!"

Zhao Tianlong set down his teacup and nodded, his gaze toward Zhao Feiyu now holding a bit more gratification. "It's a good thing you've made friends with Chu Han. He is indeed a rare Genius, and the Association will nurture him well."

"That's good!" Zhao Feiyu laughed.

Then, Zhao Tianlong said with a slightly serious tone, "Feiyu, you are now a Rank 2 Martial Artist with a Purple Extreme Bloodline talent. It's indeed very good, but you cannot be complacent. You should learn more from Chu Han."

"Dad, I know, but don't compare me to Chu Han. I realized out in the wild that Chu Han is a total freak. I'll never catch up to him," Zhao Feiyu said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Besides Chu Han, there are other Geniuses in Jiangcheng City, and beyond Jiangcheng City, there are many Geniuses who are not inferior to him. You'll see tomorrow."

"Who is it?" Zhao Feiyu asked curiously.

"Your cousin, Lin Baiwei. She also had an Awakening of her talent this year."

"Lin Baiwei? Is my cousin coming to Jiangcheng City tomorrow?"

Zhao Feiyu was stunned. This cousin of his was half a year younger than him, and she indeed had the college entrance examination this year as well.

"What talent did she awaken? Could it be stronger than my Purple Extreme Mad Lion Bloodline?"

Zhao Tianlong said, emphasizing each word, "S-rank Talent: Lord of All Beasts!"

"S-rank?!"

Zhao Feiyu's eyes went wide, and his mouth hung open wide enough to fit a fist.

An S-rank Talent!

Taking Jiangcheng City as an example, in several decades, only one S-rank Talent Martial Artist had emerged: Zhao Feifei.

And the reason Zhao Feifei's S-rank was credited to Jiangcheng City was only because her father held a position here, so she attended school here.

In reality, their Zhao Family was a super-large Family with its headquarters in the Imperial Capital.

Even at Kyoto Martial Arts University, the number of S-rank Talent students admitted each year is limited!

Zhao Feiyu suddenly felt a sense of disparity, and his previous pride and complacency vanished instantly. "S-rank... that is indeed much more impressive than me."

On the virtual screen, Zhao Feifei also looked surprised. "An S-rank Beast Taming talent? That's a rare type, even rarer than my Golden Mad Lion Bloodline. That girl Bai Wei hid it quite well; I'm in the Imperial Capital and didn't even know about this."

"A Beast Taming talent? That's right, Lord of All Beasts! It is indeed a Beast Taming talent!"

At that moment, Zhao Feiyu was suddenly overjoyed and burst into a fit of laughter.

"That's great! It's actually a Beast Taming talent!"

Immediately, both Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Feifei looked at him with furrowed brows. Zhao Tianlong even asked, "What are you laughing at? Is an S-rank Talent worth being this happy about?"

Zhao Feiyu stopped laughing and then put on an air of mystery. "Wait until Bai Wei arrives tomorrow and you'll see. I guarantee it'll be a huge surprise!"

He deliberately left some suspense, while also feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

He had been worrying about how to help Chu Han find a buyer for the Black-Maned Lion Cub, and now the buyer had delivered herself right to his door.

His cousin Lin Baiwei's S-rank Beast Taming talent was practically tailor-made for this cub!

Not only would the cub find a good owner, but Chu Han could also sell it for a good price. He would have been a big help, and just thinking about it made him happy.

Maybe his cousin would even have to thank him then.

Seeing that his son refused to speak, Zhao Tianlong didn't press further. Instead, he instructed, "Coming along with Bai Wei tomorrow is also a prominent figure. You must be more composed tomorrow; don't be so flighty."

"I know!" Zhao Feiyu replied.

At this time, Zhao Feifei said dissatisfiedly, "Are your wings getting strong, kid? You dare to hide things from me?"

Seeing his sister get angry, Zhao Feiyu quickly said, "Sis, I'll tell you quietly in a bit. Just don't tell anyone else."

"That's more like it. I still have Cultivation tasks, so I'm hanging up now."

After the call ended, Zhao Feiyu immediately sent a message to Chu Han: "Brother Han, I've got a lead on a buyer for the cub. It's definitely a huge surprise, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
