159: Crimson Moon Flywheel

Liuguang City's teleportation center was as bustling as ever, with various mount-Type Beasts intermingling.

The surrounding clamor constantly filled his ears, and luxurious shops lined both sides of the street, a vivid picture of human activity.

In the largest central square, numerous teleportation arrays periodically lit up with bright glows, welcoming or sending off an endless stream of Beast Masters.

Luo Chen sat in the white cloud carriage formed by his Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane, slowly scanning his surroundings until he found a suitable parking spot.

He was just about to send a message to Yuan Shi, informing him of his arrival, but hadn't even pulled out his personal terminal yet.

"I've already bought the tickets. Let's go quickly."

Luo Chen looked at Yuan Shi, who had suddenly appeared beside him. Even with his current King Rank Nine Stars cultivation, he hadn't sensed his arrival.

The gap between a Wild Rank Beast Master and a King Rank Beast Master should be even greater than the gap between a King Rank and a Spirit Rank Beast Master.

Luo Chen floated down beside Yuan Shi and recalled his Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane. He thanked Yuan Shi, saying:

"Thank you… Elder Yuan."

After a slight pause, Luo Chen still felt it was more appropriate to address him as Elder Yuan.

Yuan Shi, however, waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't mention it. Your status is no longer what it once was. If you call me 'Elder,' I'm afraid I can't bear it. Just call me by my name."

Luo Chen didn't insist, merely nodding silently. But facing Yuan Shi, who looked like an old man, calling him by his name felt strange.

However, he then thought of his future teacher, with such a youthful face, calling him 'Little Shi,' and it didn't seem so strange anymore.

Yuan Shi stared at Luo Chen for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "How did you reach King Rank Nine Stars after only two days?"

Luo Chen was startled, not expecting Yuan Shi to clearly perceive his current cultivation. He was about to explain something.

Yuan Shi raised a hand to stop Luo Chen's unspoken words, "You are the teacher's disciple; you don't need to explain anything to others. I was just expressing a sudden thought; just pretend you didn't hear anything. Let's go."

Luo Chen retracted his words, not expecting to experience the convenience brought by his cheap master even before arriving in the capital.

Just as the two were walking, the sun in the sky suddenly dimmed.

Then, a colorful light enveloped them from the sky, and a softly glowing orb hung in mid-air.

Beside the orb, Luo Chen saw a considerable number of Beasts guarding it.

"Azure Moon, these things have indeed come out."

Yuan Shi, beside Luo Chen, spoke with some worry.

The Colorful Moon Secret Realm, is that the secret realm with unusual activity that his cheap teacher mentioned?

"Elder Yuan, what's the situation now? Are the Beasts attacking the city?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Shi nodded, no longer dwelling on Luo Chen's form of address, but instead looked at the Azure Moon in the sky with some concern.

"That's right. The Colorful Moon Secret Realm is one of the three highest-tier secret realms guarded by Liuguang City. A few days ago, for some unknown reason, Beasts suddenly began to gather.

This is unprecedented in any of the secret realms, and I'm afraid a big one might emerge this time."

Luo Chen used his Eye of Truth to look at a Beast next to the Azure Moon. Its body, covered in bright red fur, first caught Luo Chen's attention.

"race: Red Moon Chakram Beast

Rank: Wild Beast Five Stars

Type: Light-Moonlight, Martial

State: Scorn

Aptitude: Perfect

Skills: 1. Chakram (Earth Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast has chakrams as companions. The chakrams are like a part of its body and can be controlled with very low energy consumption. It currently possesses twelve chakrams.

2. Blood Moon Body (Earth Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast can continuously absorb vital energy from the surrounding environment to enhance the strength of its Skills or restore its injuries.

3. Red Moon Domain (Earth Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast summons a Red Moon into the sky. The red moonlight within this domain will continuously erode the target's spirit, causing the target's mind to fall into confusion, irritability, and bloodlust. The Red Moon Chakram Beast itself gains an additional six chakrams.

4. Ring Blade Combo (Earth Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast controls the chakrams around it to continuously strike the target. Starting from the first chakram, the attack strength of subsequent blades will continuously increase by one-tenth.

5. Bewildering Blood Mist (Earth Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast consumes its vital energy to condense a blood mist in the surrounding environment. This blood mist will erode the target's physical body, causing it to fester and bleed.

6. Combat Intuition (Profound Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast enters combat State faster. In this State, it can more quickly determine what it should do next.

7. Red Moon Blessing (Earth Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast possesses a blessing. When it can connect to the Red Moon's origin, its recovery ability and combat stamina are greatly enhanced.

8. Red Moon Blade (Profound Tier): The Red Moon Chakram Beast unleashes crescent-shaped blade energy attacks by swinging its claws.

Law Manifestation (Earth Tier): …

Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked."

Wild Beast? Aren't Wild Beasts from secret realms not allowed to appear on Earth Star yet?

Luo Chen then looked at the other Beasts around it one by one.

Azure Moon Firefly Beast, Lanyue Chaosheng Beast (Blue Moon Tide Beast), Purple Moon Spirit Demon Beast, Yellow Moon Golden Armored Beast…

Without exception, they were all Wild Rank Beasts. Even if their Rank wasn't as high as the Red Moon Chakram Beast's, they were all at the Wild Beast Three Stars to Five Stars realm.

Luo Chen quietly counted, there were about seventeen of them.

"Elder Yuan, with so many Wild Beasts appearing simultaneously on Earth Star now, the price they paid must not be small, right?"

Yuan Shi pointed to the colorful moon hanging in the sky,

"See that? Legend has it that it's the corpse of a Star Beast. It seems they must have exchanged a corpse for this opportunity to appear on Earth Star."

The corpse of a Star Beast. A sharp glint appeared in Luo Chen's eyes, and he carefully looked at the colorful moon.

Indeed, he discovered the outline of a Beast inside, but it seemed utterly lifeless. Just as Luo Chen wanted to see more,

Suddenly, Luo Chen felt a burst of spiritual light erupt from within it. Luo Chen's vision went black, and two lines of bloody tears streamed down his eyes.

"Hiss." Luo Chen couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, crying out in pain.

Yuan Shi, who had been anxiously watching the situation in the sky, heard the commotion and looked at Luo Chen. Seeing the blood on his face, he let out an even louder shriek than Luo Chen.

"My ancestor, that's a Star Beast! Even if it's a corpse now, it's not something a King-Rank Beast Master like you can probe!"

Saying this, he fumbled through his space, pulling out some bottles and jars and smearing their contents on Luo Chen's eyelids.

It felt cool and refreshing, and Luo Chen immediately felt much better.

"Thank you, Elder Yuan."

"Sigh, your eyes will probably need a week to recover. You won't be able to use your Eye of Truth ability during this time."

Yuan Shi patiently instructed, a hint of relief appearing on his face. Thankfully, it wasn't irreparable damage; otherwise, how could he face the teacher?

The person hadn't even been delivered yet and was already injured. Although it wasn't directly his fault, the person was entrusted to him, so he still bore some responsibility.

Luo Chen also felt a bit embarrassed, "I've troubled you, Elder Yuan."

"Sigh, we can't leave now. I estimate that the space around Liuguang City has been locked down by the Beasts from the Colorful Moon Secret Realm."

He pulled out a jade-green scepter and handed it to Luo Chen.

"Take this for now. It will protect your safety on my behalf."

Luo Chen was currently unable to see, but his spirit could extend outside his body and perceive the current situation.

He accepted the scepter with some confusion. The scepter, only forty centimeters long, looked delicate and exquisite.

At the very top, a brilliant gem was inlaid, making it perfectly qualified as a work of art.

Luo Chen found it strange how this object could protect his safety.

But very quickly, a wave of life, through his right hand holding the scepter, transmitted to him.

This was actually a living scepter. Could it be a Beast?

Unfortunately, Luo Chen had just injured his eyes and couldn't check the scepter's information. Otherwise, with his Eye of Truth, he would know immediately whether it was a Beast or not.

At this moment, Wild Rank Beast Masters also soared out from within Liuguang City, facing the Wild Rank Beasts across the city walls and the protective energy shield.

Luo Chen's spiritual power couldn't reach that far, so he could only summon Little Furball and observe the current situation through its eyes.
