517: Chapter 517 Nine Infants

Ye Xuan's words were like a thunderclap that left everyone's heads ringing; they finally understood just how much of a Genius Nangong Jidi, who had just come to rescue them, truly was. He was definitely a top-tier Super Prodigy of Daming!

A Prodigy like him could never be defined by age or time spent on Cultivation; perhaps an hour of his Cultivate time was worth a year of someone else's, and there was simply no comparison between the two.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately associated him with the other young leader—Xuanyuan Zhaixing!

To be able to become a leader of the Qilin Battle Team, Xuanyuan Zhaixing was undoubtedly a Super Prodigy of the same level as Nangong Jidi, and he was only twelve years old!

No way, right? Since when could Daming produce Super Prodigies in batches?!

How was this possible? The probability of a Super Prodigy of this caliber appearing was terrifyingly low, yet they were fortunate enough to witness two at once?!

"Hiss—" When everyone realized this, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, hardly able to believe it was true.

"I heard..." Lu Shijie suddenly said hesitantly.

"Heard what?" Yun Feiyan asked.

"This time, Southern Yue City sent a total of eight Qilin Battle Teams to be stationed in eight coastal cities. If the leaders of the Qilin Battle Teams in the other seven cities are also like Nangong Jidi and Xuanyuan Zhaixing..." Lu Shijie suddenly couldn't go on, because even he felt this thought was too absurd. How could there be so many young Prodigies in this world?!

If they were all Prodigies of the same level, then the number would soar to sixteen. Since when had Super Prodigies been so cheap? And if it were true, wouldn't people like them be tossed into the trash heap?

"Impossible!" Yun Feiyan said decisively. She naturally didn't believe the situation with the other seven Qilin Battle Teams was the same as here in Fengyang City; it was more likely that the Qilin Battle Team in Fengyang City was a special case.

Lu Shijie chuckled awkwardly. "It is indeed impossible! Everyone, don't overthink it. Now, we only have half a day left for our trial, so we must make the most of it. Everyone must do their best to hunt Exotic Beasts and improve their actual combat abilities. Don't fall too far behind Nangong Jidi and Xuanyuan Zhaixing..."

"Yes! Principal!" the students roared in unison. Stimulated by Nangong Jidi, they all turned into little fierce beasts, working even harder to hunt Exotic Beasts. Even Ye He was the same; after seeing Nangong Jidi's astonishing performance, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, feeling as if he were about to be abandoned by this era. The small sense of achievement he had felt from fighting the wolf pack earlier had vanished, because his goal had now become much higher... He remembered clearly that when Nangong Jidi mentioned Long Yuan, he had respectfully called him "Young Master," and both he and Xuanyuan Zhaixing had been sent by Long Yuan. This indicated that Long Yuan's current identity was by no means simple, and Long Yuan's Genius had likely made significant progress. Thus, the sense of urgency in his heart grew stronger; his goal was now locked onto people like Nangong Jidi, Xuanyuan Zhaixing, and Long Yuan, and he certainly didn't want to be left too far behind by them!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... Ye He's spear thrust wildly, and none of the Exotic Beasts could escape his weapon, leaving everyone dazzled and dumbfounded... In the other seven cities, similar scenes were also playing out. The talent, abilities, and equipment of the Qilin Battle Team and the Drone Unit members dazzled everyone's eyes. They never expected these members to be Genius to such a degree, and the technological height and power of the equipment were even more heart-pounding. At the same time, this also greatly boosted the confidence of the military and civilians in each city. They had originally intended to live or die with their cities, but they hadn't expected there to be a real hope of defeating the Sea Race!

As secondary bases like Nanming began to continuously send reinforcements and resources to these eight cities, people's fighting spirit also continued to rise. They had already seen a glimmer of victory... The green mountains were like a sea, the setting sun like blood, and the long wind sobbed... When the afterglow of the sunset dyed more than half the sky's clouds red, the first Sea Beast surfaced. It was a spindle-shaped creature with a triangular head and several long whiskers—the Sea Loach Clan!

The Sea Loach Clan was incredibly slippery and excelled at burrowing. Their task as the vanguard was to open up the underground battlefield. Therefore, after briefly surfacing, they plunged into the ground and began to frantically burrow forward... Next, the Green Crab Clan, Pistol Shrimp Clan, Sea Catfish Clan, Sea Snake Clan, Spearfish Clan, Sailfish Clan, Sea Octopus Clan, and others appeared one after another, all advancing toward the inland cities... Soon, dozens of Sea Race experts who had been flying in the air also landed on the ground, and countless Sea Beasts followed suit, covering almost the entire coastal area!

The Sea Race experts surrounded a rather strange-looking Sea Race member, seemingly like stars surrounding the moon. Clearly, this person was the leader of this Sea Race operation!

His face looked a bit like a Human Race infant, but he had nine faces. Although he had taken on a Human Race form, he still had seven hands and seven feet on his body, they just hadn't been activated yet. Many Sea Race experts were extremely cautious in front of him, their speech and behavior being exceedingly respectful!

This scene made Long Yuan, who was watching alone in the Southern Yue City camp, feel a jolt of spirit. This was one of the nine "Heaven-Earth Exotic Beasts" mentioned by the Heavenly Eye—the "Jiu Ying"!

This kind of Exotic Beast was quite rare, and it was unknown why one would appear on the Blue Star, and even grow up in the sea to become the king of this sea region!

The most peculiar thing about the Jiu Ying was that its cry sounded exactly like a baby's wail, which was hair-raising to hear. Moreover, it possessed nine faces, nine hands, and nine legs, with each face, hand, and leg possessing a different Spell. Once it reached adulthood and its Spells reached Major Achievement, its combat strength would make countless experts tremble with fear... Long Yuan took a deep breath. The good news was that this Jiu Ying was only a young cub. For such Heaven-Earth Exotic Beasts, their growth period was extremely long. It took a very long time to grow up, and sometimes it required some luck. After all, they also had many powerful enemies who wished to slaughter them while they were young and weak to avoid being killed by them after they reached adulthood. Therefore, almost every adult Jiu Ying had an extremely thrilling growth experience!

However, the starting point for Heaven-Earth Exotic Beasts was much higher than others, which greatly increased their chances of survival. Even though this Jiu Ying was only a juvenile, its cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Stage of the Cultivation World!!!

The Human Race had to Cultivate themselves to death and exhaust countless resources to reach this Realm, yet it could reach it just by sleeping and eating. It was truly a case of "comparing a human to a beast only leads to anger"!

Furthermore, their Cultivation Technique seemed to be naturally inherited through Legacy. As long as they grew to a certain stage, their Bloodline would experience an Awakening, which included the Awakening of their Cultivation Technique, and then they could Cultivate on their own. This method of Legacy was much simpler and more efficient than that of the Human Race...
