Chapter 28 - New Beast

"Roar!"

The Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus roared as it motionlessly looked at Ye Xuan.

However, it didn't let go of its spirit to allow Ye Xuan's Seed of Beasts to enter the core of its soul.

Even though it was able to sense that the foreign object that had entered its Spirit Ocean was exuding some kind of strange aura that seemed like it would be able to help it quickly become stronger.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and continued, "I know you're very powerful. At a grade of three-stars, you actually managed to push that four-star Amber Dragon around to such an extent.

"If that other Amber Dragon hadn't sneaked up on you, you probably would've won the battle.

"But a three-star grade is only three stars after all. You may have a chance of winning now, but think about how strong that guy will be in a few years' time."

"Roarr!"

The Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus roared, its dragonic amber eyes as cold as lightning.

"Don't get mad over what I'm saying. I'm just telling you to follow me because I can alter your talents!

"I can raise you from three stars to four stars, or even five stars!"

This time, the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus didn't growl, but instead fell silent.

Even Ye Xuan himself wasn't aware that the Seed of Beasts conjured by his Mythic-Level aptitude was different from others.

It was different in two ways, the first one being that it could exude a strange aura that greatly attracted beasts.

This meant that there was a certain chance that beasts would choose to integrate themselves with the core of his soul.

The other difference was its intrusiveness, which was stronger than that of an ordinary Seed of Beasts. This would make it a lot easier for him to force a contract with a beast.

"Another thing, if you follow me, I can take you out of this place to a wider world, and make your body as big as a mountain…"

Suddenly, when Ye Xuan was halfway through his speech, the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus roared, raised its head, and looked at the cliff it had just fallen from.

Then it looked at Dragon Valley.

After that, its surroundings.

In this massive pit, an Amber Heart remained.

It was from the Amber Dragon that had ambushed the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus.

Seeing that Amber Heart, the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus plunged into momentary silence. At last, it let go of its mind, allowing Ye Xuan's Seed of Beasts to merge into the core of its soul.

In the very next instant, it felt that a strange, mysterious connection had been established between Ye Xuan and itself.

"Hahah."

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

By contracting this giant blockhead, it could be said that his trip into the Amber Secret Realm had been half successful.

Ye Xuan looked at the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus and said with a look of anticipation in his eyes, "You're injured. I'll first place you inside the Beast Ring. Focus on recovering. When you get better, we'll go look together for the evolution materials for your evolution!"

At present, the dragon was already so powerful. What would it be like when it became a four-star or even a five-star?

"Rawr!"

The Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus growled, allowing Ye Xuan to put it into the Beast Ring.

It was only at this moment that Lil Wan exclaimed, her eyes full of excitement, "Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, have you succeeded?"

Ye Xuan, likewise, revealed a smile and said, "Yeah, he's our buddy from now onwards."

"Then let's give it a name. Since it's an Amber Dragon, let's call it Su Long. Since it joined the party later than me, I'll be treating it as my younger brother."

Ye Xuan glared at her. "Keep that name for yourself!"

"Su Long?" Ye Xuan thought.

"What kind of awful name is that?

"You're a wacky elf, and my mom likes you, so it's fine for you to call yourself Su Wan.

"But if you give a Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus the surname Su as well, I bet you a thousand that mum will kill me."

"What should we call it then?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "When its injuries heal, I'll ask it what it wants to be called.

"Judging by this guy's temper, I don't think it'll accept a regular name."

Originally, he'd wanted to call this guy Little Dragon. These two words were simple and convenient, but he was afraid that the big guy would roar in his face over being called "little."

...

"Get in formation, melees in the front and long-range at the back. This time, we have to take this guy down!"

In Dragon Valley, Cao Qing and dozens of others commanded their beasts to fight a group of Amber Dragons.

They had the advantage in numbers, but the Amber Dragons were very powerful.

Especially that four-star-grade Amber Dragon. Even with Cao Qing and a few others joining forces, they were still struggling against it.

But fortunately, the dragon had not only sustained some injuries in its battle with the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus, but it had also used up most of its stamina.

"Chase after it! We have to catch up! Don't let it escape!"

Ten minutes later, of all the Amber Dragons in the valley, some had fled, while some had perished.

In the end, when the four-star Amber Dragon saw that things weren't quite right, it tried to break out of the mob.

But at this time, there weren't many students left in the field.

During the battle, many of the students had come close to danger and had had to activate their Protection Amulet early to leave Dragon Valley.

Also at this time, Ye Xuan had already picked up the Amber Heart left behind by the Amber Dragon that had died and found a safe place to rest with Lil Wan.

He was still fine, but Lil Wan was already exhausted from rescuing the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus earlier.

Hidden in a big hole in a tree, Ye Xuan rubbed the Amber Dragon Heart he had just obtained and muttered, "To upgrade the Dual-Winged Amber Tyrannosaurus to five stars, I need a Top-Level Apprentice-Grade Amber Dragon Heart, ten varying Top-Level Apprentice-Grade Amber Hearts, and an Inborn Amber Dragon Spring."

"I already have a Top-Level Apprentice-Grade Amber Dragon Heart. Taking into account the Amber Heart from the Two-Headed Amber Wolf, I still need nine other Top-Level Apprentice-Grade Amber Hearts and an Inborn Amber Dragon Spring."

Nine varying Top-Level Apprentice-Grade Amber Hearts were relatively easy to obtain. As for an Inborn Amber Dragon Spring, he didn't know where he could find one.

...

"What happened?"

Outside the secret realm, Wu Fuyun, Nong Lejia, and the other teachers asked this question when they saw numerous students walk out of the secret realm, one after another, after using their Protection Amulets.

A student smiled bitterly and explained their experience in the Amber Secret Realm. "It's the Amber Dragons. Things are very different this time. When we got to Dragon Valley, we found out that there aren't just five or six Amber Dragons, as the records say there should be, but almost 20."

"I see."

Wu Fuyun and Nong Lejia's doubts were cleared up.

Then, after a moment's thought, Nong Lejia asked the student, "Let me ask you something. In the past few days, have you guys seen Ye Xuan in the secret realm?"

"Nope." The student shook his head. "We were together when we first entered the secret realm, but he told us that he wanted to train near the entrance, so we parted ways. We haven't seen him since."

"I see." Nong Lejia nodded. "Ye Xuan has a good head on his shoulders," he secretly thought.

He didn't think so highly of himself as to go and look for the four-star Amber Dragon.
