64: Lin Chuan is not to be trifled with.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, the Ice Crystal Demon Python opened its eyes and let out a heaven-shaking roar.
"Chirp..."
The Giant Rock Eagle King was instantly summoned, flapping its wings in the air and using gusts of wind to dissipate the giant python's sound waves into nothingness.
Otherwise, not to mention whether the house could be saved, the other residents living nearby would probably suffer an undeserved calamity.
This was also the reason why Ye Xinghu rushed over in such a hurry.
"It's done!"
Everyone saw the Ice Crystal Demon Python's Aura gradually rise, already breaking through its original star rank, and even more than one star.
Generally speaking, a Monarch Rank Beast Tamer's beast often takes several years to advance one star.
It could only be said that the Ice Crystal Demon Python had been stagnant at this stage for too long, and the countless resources consumed in the past had all accumulated within its body, just waiting for this moment to fully erupt.
Then, the moment the Ice Crystal Demon Python broke through, Qin Yan's Aura also suddenly erupted.
"This is..."
After the beast advanced a star, its master also broke through with it.
Unexpectedly, the treatment Lin Chuan had always enjoyed also happened to Qin Yan this time.
Although the martial power of a Diamond Rank expert could not be described as flying through the sky and escaping into the earth to become a terrestrial immortal, shattering gold and splitting stone was still easy. With each star increase, the physique received a huge bonus.
Qin Yan's originally completely white hair even showed a faint tendency to turn gray.
"Awesome!"
Qin Yan let out a furious roar, focusing everyone's attention on him.
"Congratulations, President Qin..."
Everyone congratulated him in unison.
Aside from Qin Yan, the highest-ranked individual present was Li Qiancheng, the head of the Iron Blood Beast Tamer Group, a Diamond Five-star.
At this moment, Li Qiancheng found Qin Yan's star rank somewhat unfathomable.
"This old man has diligently Cultivated for over fifty years in this life, without a single day of slack, yet I never expected to benefit from my beast's star advancement today, hahaha..."
As Qin Yan spoke, his eyes looked towards Lin Chuan.
Everyone smiled apologetically in unison.
"Old Qin, how many stars now?"
Lin Chuan had fewer reservations and asked directly.
"Nine stars."
As soon as Qin Yan's voice fell, everyone else's hearts were shaken.
Their guess had indeed become reality, but they found it somewhat unbelievable.
Lin Chuan, however, felt it was acceptable, not in vain for the huge cost he had spent.
Of course, it was mainly because the Ice Crystal Demon Python's Foundation was too solid, and its internal accumulation was truly too abundant. The potion only played a role in breaking through a point. Otherwise, the energy required for even a Diamond Rank advancement, if converted into energy fruit, would be an astronomical figure.
Over the years, the Ice Crystal Demon Pythons outside the city had almost been wiped out by Qin Yan, having devoured countless hearts of their own kind.
Within a thousand miles, there was truly only one Monarch Rank left yesterday, and it had also been killed.
After the Breakthrough, the giant python's body had expanded by another circle, and the courtyard was almost too small to contain it.
Seeing the giant python staring at him, Lin Chuan extended his hand towards it.
The Ice Crystal Demon Python did not hesitate, moving its huge head towards him. Then, it lowered its head and lay down in front of Lin Chuan.
This... Lin Chuan originally just wanted to touch its head to see what specific changes had occurred, but its intention was actually for Lin Chuan to stand on it.
At this moment, the other Diamond Rank experts noticed: how was there a Black Iron Rank high school student in the courtyard?
Judging by his age, he didn't look like Qin Yan's son, so could he be his grandson?
The crucial point was that Qin Yan didn't even have a son, so where would a grandson come from!
Everyone stared at Lin Chuan, watching how he would act.
Lin Chuan hesitated for two seconds, then lifted his foot and directly stepped onto the giant python's head.
At the same time, Lin Chuan also saw the giant python's changes.
Its star rank had reached Diamond 9 stars, and some skills had also risen to LV9. More importantly, its potential had changed:
Potential: King-level 2 stars
Its potential had actually directly increased from Monarch Rank seven stars to King-level.
This change, presumably, Qin Yan had not even thought of, or even dared to imagine.
King-level potential beasts were truly rare.
Especially uncontracted young beasts; each appearance would trigger a bloody storm.
King-level Beast Tamers, even their beasts could not guarantee that all were King-level. As long as one reached it, that was already a top-tier Beast Tamer.
After Lin Chuan stood firm, the giant python gradually raised its body, sending Lin Chuan ten meters into the air, looking down on the world.
"Awesome..."
The many Diamond Rank big shots below looked up at Lin Chuan in the air, lost in thought for a long time.
This child, even if not a descendant of Qin Yan, was not much different from a close relative.
In the future, if this giant python had offspring, the first contract target would definitely consider Lin Chuan.
Qin Yan was also a bit speechless. He indeed wanted to take the opportunity to boost Lin Chuan's prestige, letting the various big shots of District 81 get to know him. After all, Lin Chuan still had a long way to go in the future. Although he might not always stay in District 81, he would ultimately have a solid backing.
He didn't expect this Ice Crystal Demon Python to go even further, directly becoming a 'licking dog' (excessively fawning).
He had raised it for decades and had never enjoyed such treatment.
However, Qin Yan could understand.
After all, Lin Chuan's single potion directly gave it the hope of reaching King-level.
This kindness was like a second birth, no different from parents.
"King-level, huh..."
Qin Yan felt that if he thought about it any longer, he wouldn't be able to control his expression. How should he share this news with Lan Lan?
"President Qin, what is the relationship between this student Lin Chuan and you...?"
At this moment, Fu Tianchen finally couldn't hold back and asked, interrupting Qin Yan's daydreaming.
"Lin Chuan is my junior. Although we are not related by blood, he is as good as family."
Qin Yan said in a calm tone.
The voice was not loud, but it struck everyone's hearts like iron beads falling on a stone slab.
Lin Chuan, not to be provoked.
"He is still young, and in the future, there will inevitably be times when he needs your help. I hope you will not refuse for my sake."
After Qin Yan finished speaking, everyone understood.
This wasn't about needing their help; it was clearly a warning not to be blind and provoke him.
"President Qin, our school's students challenged Lin Chuan before..."
At this point, Fu Tianchen and Lei Wanjun said hesitantly.
"I will not interfere in competitions between schools. Do you take me for such a petty person?"
"I wouldn't dare..."
Now, the two principals were finally relieved... Lin Chuan surveyed a few circles in the air, then signaled the giant python to descend.
To be honest, this feeling of looking down on all beings was quite good.
Lin Chuan even saw faint figures peeking through many windows.
The towering giant python made them lose even the courage to stand, each one squatting and trembling in the corners of their rooms.
Lin Chuan also saw Ye Yao. Under the escort of a group of bodyguards, Ye Yao mustered the courage to meet Lin Chuan's gaze for a second.
After seeing Lin Chuan wave in greeting, she ran back into the house... Only after Lin Chuan jumped off the giant python's head did Qin Yan recall the giant python.
Then, he said to everyone, "The matter here is concluded. Please return, everyone."
Subsequently, everyone gave Lin Chuan a deep look, committing him to memory, and then bid their farewells one by one.
Qian Feng and Li Qiancheng even handed Lin Chuan their business cards, leaving him bewildered.
Finally, only Ye Xinghu remained.
"Old Ye, aren't you going back? Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Qin Yan and Ye Xinghu had known each other for many years, and he joked.
"President Qin is joking. My granddaughter is also in Third High School, and she lives across the street."
Ye Xinghu replied with a smile.
Ye Yao's grandfather?
Lin Chuan couldn't help but turn to look at Ye Xinghu upon hearing his words.
"Student Lin Chuan, my Yaoyao often mentions you. Last time, she even begged me to help you settle the Yan Family's trouble. That silly girl, with President Qin here, it wouldn't be my turn to act, haha..."
"Hello, Old Ye. Um, were Yan Hao and his father beaten by you?"
Lin Chuan asked.
"No, I just beat up Yan Batian's beast. That old fellow didn't properly discipline his grandson. However, I didn't do that for you; it was purely to vent Yaoyao's anger."
The mystery was solved.
No wonder that father and son pair both had pig-like faces the next day; they must have been beaten by Yan Batian to vent his anger.
With the truth out, their relationship became much closer.
"You and Yaoyao are classmates, that's fate. Classmates can interact more, you know. Come visit me sometime."
"Uh... I'll go if I get a chance."
Lin Chuan was somewhat overwhelmed for a moment.
