Mhm, Zhang Che wasn’t asking for much, only for the Myriad Transformation Lizard to be able to mature into a mid-tier epic-quality beast. His safety would be increased by a huge margin when that happened.

Of course, if he could transform into a divine-quality exotic beast some day, his defense would be even greater.

It was hard to say when facing exotic beasts, but if he was against beastmasters, there shouldn’t be anyone that could do a thing to him, right?

Alas, it didn’t seem like the rainbow crystal could raise the potential of subdued beasts and pets.

Perhaps to put it in another way, from the looks of it now, the rainbow crystal didn’t have such an ability.

Zhang Che then thought of the time when he was in the secret plane. The rainbow crystal devoured the secret plane’s aura of origin. Did it not grow at all?

Unfortunately, this thing wouldn’t give Zhang Che a reply. Otherwise, he would have a glimpse of what changes there were to it.

With the Gale Wolf King and the Myriad Transformation Lizard’s advancement, it wouldn’t be long before the Rotten Ent Prowler rose to dark gold-quality, too.

With that, all of Zhang Che’s subdued beasts and pets, except for the frisky monkey, Fiery Scorpion, and the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly, would have risen to dark gold-quality and above. If he were to speak about this to others, perhaps no one would believe that basically all of his babies were at dark gold-quality or higher!

Regardless of his subdued beasts’ level, just the fact that most of them were at least at dark gold-quality would shock anyone who heard about it.

“What a pity. It’s already been over a month and a half. Why didn’t the Umbra Wind God Leopard advance in quality? How strange!”

What puzzled Zhang Che was that the Umbra Wind God Leopard, who was destined to become incomparably terrifying after he matured, actually didn’t advance from silver to gold-quality.

“Is it because he is still an infant?”

Zhang Che could only chalk it up to this.

It was most likely that newborn pets would require much more energy to grow compared to adult subdued beasts and pets, which was why he hadn’t risen from silver to gold-quality after close to two months.

Even though the Umbra Wind God Leopard would take more than a couple years to reach adulthood if he grew at a normal pace, Zhang Che couldn’t help but feel regretful about this. If it could mature soon, Zhang Che’s strength would experience an immense change.

At that time, with a nine-star super divine-quality pet, was there anywhere in the beast world he couldn’t go?

Shaking his head, Zhang Che no longer thought about this problem. In any case, there was nothing he could do in the foreseeable future. He could only wait.

Going forward, Zhang Che devoted all his energy into hunting mid-tier exotic beasts. He accumulated more and more soul force points, and he gradually started to feel he was on the fringe of achieving Tier Six beastmaster. Although he still hadn’t made the breakthrough, it was only a matter of time within the next few days.

As for the Myriad Transformation Lizard’s ability to let Zhang Che transform into exotic beasts, he didn’t try to experiment with it for now. He wanted to raise his beastmaster tier before thinking about it.

After all, he didn’t know if he could erase the three templates after using them. If he couldn’t, it would be a great loss! Such an ability must be used to its greatest efficiency!

——-

As the one month time limit slowly approached, Zhang Che still haven’t returned from the beast world. Not only were the rumors spreading more wildly, even Huang Juyun and the others were starting to worry.

Over this weekend, Huang Tielan returned home and asked Huang Juyun worriedly, “Dad, Zhang Che wouldn’t have met with some dangers in the beast world, would he?”

Other than his unexpected departure from Hua Xia previously, this was the longest Zhang Che had stayed in the beast world. Almost a month had passed, and there was still no news of him. Could it be that he really met with danger in the beast world?

Thinking up until this point, Huang Tielan couldn’t help but worry deeply.

Huang Juyun’s brow was furrowed slightly, too.

During this period of time, Huang Hai’s squad didn’t give up on their search. Even so, it had been so many days, and yet they still couldn’t figure out where Zhang Che went to in the beast world.

Although it was said that the beast world was vast beyond imagination and that it was nothing strange if they couldn’t find someone, that place was too dangerous, after all. If that kid had overestimated himself and wandered into some powerful exotic beast’s territory, wouldn’t he be in grave danger?

However, Huang Juyun couldn’t speak about what he was thinking in front of his daughter.

“Don’t worry. Didn’t he say he wanted to break through to Tier Six beastmaster in one go before he entered the beast world? The way I see it, it should be about time after so long. He’ll probably return in a few days’ time.”

Huang Tielan nodded silently. She was very conflicted inside, too.

She was hoping Zhang Che would remain in the beast world and not come back for the arena deathmatch, but she was also worried that he had encountered some unpredictable danger in there.

After all, even a powerful high-tier beastmaster could not guarantee that they could come and go in the beast world safely. In a place so fraught with dangers, they would remain there forever, dying without a complete corpse, if they were even slightly careless.

“Lanlan, you rest assured and go back to school. You don’t have to worry about Xiaoche’s matters. He’ll naturally come back when it’s time to. Moreover, it’s nothing even if he’s a few days late. At the most, we’ll go apply for the postponing of the match. As long as it’s not over three months, it should take place as normal.”

—

After persuading Huang Tielan to return to school, Huang Juyun couldn’t help but sigh.

Now that things had come to this, he too, had no idea if anything had happened to Zhang Che.

However, this didn’t stop him from doing whatever he should.

After purchasing a six-star epic-quality beast card from the Chang family at a high price, another clan had sold their six-star epic-quality card to Huang Juyun. Although the price was similarly ridiculously high, he couldn’t not accept it.

After all, epic-quality or higher beast cards were treasures of the clans. Their price couldn’t be calculated with just their combat strength.

Oftentimes, such high-end goods would be traded at a much higher price than their practical value.

Take the Wind God Leopard card Luo Wenjun had obtained, for example. Calculating by its strength, it was probably worth around fifty million purple crystal points. However, if he chose to sell it, there might be willing buyers even if it was priced at seventy or eighty million purple crystal points.

“Hopefully that kid has risen to Tier Six beastmaster and is about to return from the beast world. There’s a good chance for him to win this duel with the two epic-quality beast cards, in addition to the many legend-quality subdued beasts he has.”

Huang Juyun had some understanding of Zhang Che’s combat strength, especially the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s terrifying strength. Although no one knew about it in the beginning, everyone in a certain circle knew about it after Zhang Che’s battle with Zhen Long and the twenty-some beastmasters.

A legend-quality subdued beast with a ridiculously powerful offensive skill like that, some people even thought that it was invincible among those of the same rank.

If it wasn’t that most epic-quality beasts had False Domains, having a qualitative difference in strength over to legend-quality beasts, the payout for Zhang Che winning wouldn’t be so high at all!

——

As Zhang Che remained nowhere to be seen, the payout for Zhang Che winning grew increasingly higher at most lottery companies, reaching close to one-to-four.

In other words, those who bet on him would earn nearly four times their bet in the end if they won!

This was attributed to many people wanting to bet on the dark horse recently, and placing bets on Zhang Che winning in the end. Otherwise, the odds would have grown even higher, reaching a terrifying degree.

In contrast, betting on the Zhen family’s victory would yield barely anything.

For people who didn’t have much capital, wouldn’t it be better to make a gamble? They’d live a wealthy life if they won, and it didn’t matter if they lost, either. In any case, their daily lives wouldn’t be affected. At the most, they’d have to work harder for a period of time.

On the other hand, those who were wealthy, as well as the larger clans, chose to pursue stability. They didn’t choose to bet on Zhang Che, but the Zhen family instead.

After all, even if they would only receive twenty percent or so of their bet in winnings, if their capital was high enough, the return on their investments would be a very considerable sum. After all, what businesses were there that had a safe, more than twenty percent return on investment in a month?

Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, countless people in Bei Du were hoping to make a fortune off him!

——

Currently, he was at the last stretch.

He could faintly tell that he was about to break through the barrier and advance to Tier Six!

It would either be today or tomorrow!

“Counting the days, today is already the twenty-eighth of September. It’s been almost a month since I entered the beast world. Time really flies!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but lament as he was about to hit Tier Six.

Finally, he was about to become a true expert!

Despite being a long way off from becoming a high-tier beastmaster, with the epic-quality Earthen Rock Demon, most high-tier beastmaster would probably not be a match for him. They could only stand there and wait to get killed.

How many people would own an epic-quality subdued beast?

Let alone epic-quality, there weren’t many beastmasters who owned legend-quality subdued beasts. Many small clans might not even have one!

Take the Qian Wei City’s Ding Feng Corporation, for example. They were considered a first-rate faction in Qian Wei City, and were an existence Zhang Che had to look up to. Their wealth should be robust, but other than their clan master, they might not own a legend-quality subdued beast, including their successor Zhang Yujie!

During his journey to the secret plane, Zhang Che had saved Zhang Yujie once. He didn’t see the latter using any legend-quality subdued beasts, only two mid-tier dark gold-quality beasts!

—

Whoosh!

Zhang Che flew over a large spread of hilly area on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back. The scarlet sword was like a scarlet bolt of lightning, shuttling everywhere within a hundred and fifty meters of Zhang Che. Every time it changed course, it would claim the life of at least one mid-tier exotic beast.

In addition, there was also a group of legend-quality babies slaughtering their way through the surrounding area. The speed at which Zhang Che obtained soul force points could truly shock someone to death!

Similarly, the number of mid-tier beast cards he obtained would scare others to death if he spread word of it...

During this time, the total number of mid-tier beast cards he had gathered was about to break through four digits!

This was only because exotic beasts below mid-tier gold-quality dropped beast cards by chance. Otherwise, this number would be a few times higher!

Finally, when the scarlet sword slashed the head off of an exotic beast, Zhang Che suddenly felt a rumble in his mind. The massive amount of soul force points he had accumulated thus far had finally broken through the bottleneck, expanding his spiritual sea by a lot!

Zhang Che had finally achieved Tier Six beastmaster!
