165: Beast Taming

After exiting the Secret Realm, the Illusion Butterfly continuously scattered colorful phosphorescent powder above the entrance/exit of the Colorful Moon Secret Realm, which was the spatial gate.

Vast spatial energy spread out, and the glowing gate, imprinted with a crescent moon mark, continuously shrank until it was branded onto a token.

Luo Chen looked at the golden token, shimmering with colorful light, floating before him. With a hint of excitement, he reached out and grasped it in his hand.

"From now on, to open the spatial gate of the Colorful Moon Secret Realm, you just need to activate the crescent moon mark on it with your mental energy. The same applies to retracting the spatial gate."

Zhuang Sheng briefly described how to use the token to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nodded, indicating that he had remembered.

At this moment, Tang Ce and Yuan Shi, who had been guarding the entrance to the Colorful Moon Secret Realm, cautiously spoke up, "Teacher..."

"Hmm? Why are you two here?"

Zhuang Sheng's calm question made the two men extremely nervous.

Yuan Shi released numerous Fragrant Lily of the Valley, as well as several Beasts that had been sent out.

"We've come to return Luo Chen's Beasts."

Zhuang Sheng nodded, signaling Luo Chen to handle it himself.

Luo Chen quickly approached Tang Ce and Yuan Shi, "Thank you, Elder Tang and Elder Yuan, for the trouble of returning my Beasts."

Yuan Shi waved his hands repeatedly, "It's no trouble, no trouble at all. Your Beasts were used to rescue the residents of Liuguang City. Quickly count them to see if any are missing."

Luo Chen no longer remembered how many Fragrant Lily of the Valley he had initially brought out, but he did know which Beasts he had sent out. Anyway, these Beasts were just a number to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen didn't pay too much attention, simply putting the Beasts in front of him back into the little one's portable space, then said:

"That's about it. Thank you both for your trouble."

"As long as the number is correct. When are you planning to go to the Capital City?" Yuan Shi, the honest oaf, just blurted it out.

Luo Chen looked at Zhuang Sheng, then spread his hands, indicating that he wasn't sure yet.

"Things here are finished, Luo Chen. Let's go to the Capital City now with me."

Looking at the situation, there was no need for Yuan Shi to escort him anymore.

Taking advantage of the brief moment before leaving, Luo Chen curiously looked at Yuan Shi, "Elder Yuan, could you let me see the staff you gave me earlier again?"

Although Yuan Shi didn't quite understand Luo Chen's intention, he didn't refuse. Instead, he pulled out a staff, about thirty to forty centimeters long, entirely emerald green.

Luo Chen used his Eye of Truth to look at it and, sure enough, it was a Beast.

[race: Jade Staff of Fine Jade

Evolution Path: None]

Luo Chen looked at the staff in Yuan Shi's hand, muttering to himself, so this was an Artifact-Type Beast. But compared to ordinary Beasts, it didn't seem particularly powerful.

"Thank you, Elder Yuan, I've seen it."

Zhuang Sheng casually glanced at the staff in Yuan Shi's hand, as if explaining to Luo Chen,

"Artifact-Type Beasts are a new Type of Beast that has emerged in the last hundred years. They only possess spiritual perception but no Skills themselves, at most some primitive chopping and the like.

However, their special characteristic lies in their ability to perfectly integrate with the rule runes comprehended by a Beast Master. That is, they can accommodate various runes, thereby forming special Skills.

Therefore, they generally do not display a Type, and this Type of Artifact-Type Beast is the best way to differentiate a Beast Master's talent.

Those with strong talent comprehend more rule runes, and the Artifact-Type Beast they contract will have stronger Skills.

When you return to the Capital City, you can observe more Artifact-Type Beasts. It's a good time for you to start looking for one now."

After this explanation, Luo Chen finally understood the function of Artifact-Type Beasts. Wasn't this a genius quality checker? Beast Masters who could comprehend more rule runes could even take off directly with such a Beast.

As for those who couldn't comprehend rule runes, they could only rely on high Aptitude Beasts to improve their strength.

As he thought about it, Luo Chen suddenly felt that this Type of Beast seemed designed for commoners to rise up. Could it be that the emergence of this Beast was also his teacher's doing?

"It's a pity that only King Rank Nine Stars who break through their bottleneck, and those above Wild Rank, can comprehend rule runes. Otherwise, Artifact-Type Beasts could be popularized more quickly in Huaguo."

Zhuang Sheng's tone held deep regret, but he quickly composed himself.

Returning to his usual gentle demeanor, he looked at Luo Chen, "You'll know all about these things when you get to the Capital City. If you don't have anything to deal with here, let's go now."

"Wait a moment." Luo Chen pulled out the sacrificial stele he had made not long ago and handed it to Yuan Shi and Tang Ce.

"Gentlemen, I'd like to present this sacrificial stele to Liuguang City. I hope all Beasts with Moon Type in Liuguang City can advance through it."

Yuan Shi and Tang Ce looked at each other, and Yuan Shi spoke first,

"Luo Chen, this stele is something even Star Rank Beasts would contend for. I'm afraid there are many unknown secrets about it.

If it stays in Liuguang City, it might bring disaster rather than fortune to the residents here."

Yuan Shi's words made Luo Chen pause slightly. He was, after all, young and had considered too little. He could only silently take the sacrificial stele back.

Tang Ce comforted him, "Young friend Luo's kind intentions have been received by the residents of Liuguang City. We also wish young friend Luo a continuous ascent in his journey. This is truly a blessing for our entire Huaguo."

Yuan Shi and Tang Ce both naturally believed that Luo Chen's future achievements would surely surpass theirs. When Luo Chen matured, perhaps the future Beast world of Huaguo would see a different landscape.

Ultimately, Luo Chen still left with the sacrificial stele. The vast majority of people in Liuguang City had no memory of the Colorful Moon Secret Realm Beast siege.

However, for a long time in the future, the prices of material resources from Beasts in Liuguang City continuously dropped, allowing many commoner Beast Masters to achieve significant improvements.

The interrupted competition resumed as usual, but the Breeder competition went from 60 participants to 59.

Although Luo Chen brought many novel Beasts in his three matches, Liuguang City was never short of news.

Luo Chen's stay here was too short, so his name was soon forgotten in the depths of people's minds.

However, in the Beast Master competition, two names remained highly discussed among the residents of Liuguang City.

One was Ban Mo, who possessed a humanoid Beast, and the other was Luo Yang, who always fought with only one Beast but displayed exceptional performance.

Currently, their scores on the leaderboard surpassed all other Liuguang City contestants, remaining consistently high.

They were practically considered thorns in the side by the aristocratic young masters from Liuguang City who participated in the same period.

Even though they hated them fiercely, they had no recourse, because when they encountered them, they simply couldn't win. Even Liuguang City's original champion, when facing one of the two, ended in a crushing defeat.

From then on, the two individuals from Qingyang City became thoroughly famous.

However, while the entire city was focused on the Breeder competition and the Beast Master competition, a new trending topic appeared on Liuguang City'sList page.

The Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House would be holding an auction at the end of this month.

Liuguang City had many auctions, and if it were just this one holding an auction, it wouldn't generate such high interest.

The reason was a Beast they were going to auction: the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit.
