137: Departure to Liuguang City
Its brown feathers, a wingspan of a hundred meters, and the occasional surges of wind and lightning power emanating from its body, all proclaimed its might.
Feeling the aura emanating from it, all the Spirit-Rank Beast Masters present knew it was a King Beast.

Just as Luo Chen was observing the giant eagle's information, a figure leaped down from the back of the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle.
It was Qi Yu, Feng Qingyang's assistant, who always had a Morning Glory Beast on his shoulder.
He spoke softly, his voice sounding as if it were right next to your ear,
“Everyone, it’s getting late. Our Breeders and Beast Masters, please quickly get on the giant eagle’s back. Let’s depart now.”
Hearing his words, the young Beast Masters, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly bid farewell to their families.
They all leaped onto the back of the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle. This height of several tens of meters was quite easy for Spirit-Rank Beast Masters to jump onto.
Luo Chen clapped his hands and said to the two people beside him, “Let’s go too.”
With that, he didn’t leap up like the other Beast Masters, but instead floated up gently and slowly.
Luo Yang, beside him, followed closely, just like him.
Only Ban Mo looked at their actions and leaped up with a bit of awkwardness.
Compared to the jarring sensation of leaping onto the giant eagle’s back, the gentle way Luo Chen and his brother landed on its back was clearly more favored by the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle.
In fact, one person's landing was so forceful that it made the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle turn its head and glare at him fiercely.
Only this seemingly simple and robust young man thought his special performance had attracted the giant eagle’s attention.
Feng Qingyang, waiting on the giant eagle’s back, saw a look of surprise in Luo Chen and Luo Yang’s eyes, as if he hadn’t expected that both brothers had already advanced to King-Rank Beast Master.
However, a look of joy soon appeared, as if there could be more anticipation for the competition in Liuguang City now.
Of course, there would still be many King-Rank Beast Masters among the youths participating in the Liuguang City competition, so it remained to be seen how far Luo Yang could go.
But Luo Chen was different; he had almost evolved a complete King-Ranked Beast when he was at the Spirit Rank, and now that he had advanced to King Rank, Feng Qingyang had great expectations for his upcoming performance.
As for why Feng Qingyang was so expectant, it was because the better the results achieved by the Beast Masters or Breeders of a city in the competition, the more resource support that city would receive.
Seeing that everyone had found their positions on the back of the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle, Feng Qingyang shouted:
“Dacheng, let’s go.”
Dacheng must have been the name of the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle. It let out a cry towards the sky before flapping its wings and soaring upwards.
As it ascended, a light blue shield enveloped the broad back of the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle, completely covering everyone on its back.
Although the scenery rapidly receded, the people on its back felt no air currents whatsoever.
“Brother, are we leaving the city? Are we not using a teleportation array, but flying to Liuguang City from outside the city?”
Luo Chen nodded, “It should be. Perhaps it’s to let us see what the outside of the city looks like now.”
Outside the city, what did it look like now?
Perhaps it was difficult to truly grasp it just by description; one had to go and see it, to experience it firsthand, to truly understand.
Although he had occasionally left the city a few times, he had always stayed not far from the city, never venturing very far from it.
Moreover, when Luo Chen went to other cities for medical treatment as a child, he always took the teleportation array, so he would not have seen the scenery outside the city.
Looking at the excited expressions of the other Beast Masters and the two Breeders, perhaps this was not only a first for the Luo family brothers, but also for them.
Soon, the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle arrived at the city gate. The City Guard, having received orders, did not obstruct it. They opened a large enough gap in the city’s defensive energy shield, allowing the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle to pass through successfully.
After leaving the city and seeing the vast world in the distance, it felt as if one's chest had broadened a little.
For the young men and women who had long lived within the city, everything they saw in the wilderness was novel.
“Wow, that mountain is so tall.”
“That lake is so beautiful.”
Suddenly, a large mouth emerged from the lake, swallowing a deer-like Beast drinking by the shore.
However, all this happened very quickly, and the Beast in the lake did not reveal its full form, only a fierce-looking head.
The distance was really too far, and Luo Chen couldn't use his Eye of Truth to see its detailed information.
The young girl who had just exclaimed how beautiful the lake was, suddenly blurted out a curse,
“Holy crap, that Beast is awesome.”
Even Ban Mo, who had been silent, couldn't help but look at the somewhat unrestrained girl with a strange gaze.
These small interludes quickly passed.
Later on in the journey, they truly witnessed the dangers of the wilderness.
There was an entire lake filled with thousands of Sun Gazing Golden Lotus, and interspersed among them were many of their evolved forms, the Sun Reflection King Lotus.
There were also eerie forests shrouded in mist, and Swamp lands permeated with miasma.
Finally, after an unknown number of mountains crossed, lakes traversed, and forests, grasslands, and deserts passed through.
At six in the afternoon, a majestic city in the distance finally came into view.
At this point, the excited young men and women, whose initial excitement had faded and who were somewhat drowsy, finally perked up again.
However, seeing the mountain in the distance only made the journey seem longer, and it took another hour or so before they truly approached the outer city of Liuguang City, the Middle City.
The outer wall of this city was much taller than that of Qingyang City, nearly five to six hundred meters high.
As far as the eye could see, there were ancient green bricks, covered with numerous claw marks and traces of various bombardments.
Standing on the city wall, one could feel the sense of vicissitude left by the passage of time and countless trials.
The Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle slowly descended outside the city, and Feng Qingyang led everyone off its back.
He walked to the end of the line and obediently joined the queue.
Outside the city gate, several long lines of people could be seen waiting to enter the city. These groups all carried a certain air of sternness.
At a glance, they were clearly hunting parties from within the city who had ventured out into the wilderness.
In comparison, the young men and women led by Feng Qingyang stood out conspicuously among such groups.
However, Feng Qingyang remained calm and composed, and the other young men and women also tried their best to stand tall and proud, striving to display the demeanor of Qingyang City.
The queue was long, but the speed of entry into the city was very fast.
Under the wide city gate, there was a greenish-blue light curtain that scanned every person entering the city.
Luo Chen secretly speculated that this should be a security measure belonging to Liuguang City.
Everyone from Qingyang City entered the city without any hindrance.
Then, everyone re-boarded the Wind-Thunder Giant Eagle and headed to the hotel Feng Qingyang had booked in advance.
The city was also incredibly vast, with not only ground pathways but also aerial routes for flying Beasts.
After entering the hotel, Feng Qingyang carefully instructed them again, then dismissed them, allowing them to move freely.
…
Late at night, in room 305, where Ban Mo was staying.
Luo Chen and Ban Mo stood facing each other, and Luo Chen spoke softly,
“Shall we start now?”
Ban Mo's expression showed a slight tension and anticipation, but he still nodded firmly,
“Good.”
