Beast Taming: My Intelligence System

An hourglass appeared above the scepter, counting down, telling Ye Bai that time was running out.

Once the sand in the hourglass ran out, Ye Bai feared he would be teleported out of the inner vault.

It seemed that getting back in would become quite troublesome.

Ye Bai initially selected the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, Divine Stone, and Demon Horn.

But a sudden premonition surged in his heart, similar to the feeling he had with the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.

Ye Bai couldn't help but walk to a place and look at a dust-covered, dull Ancient Jade.

It was very similar to the Ancient Jade he had worn before, exuding a jade-like luster.

Each piece of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade has different effects.

Yet, he didn't know what effect this piece of Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade had.

Ye Bai held this piece of Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade in the palm of his hand, then waved the scepter, taking the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and Divine Stone with him, and left.

Du Shukui had been waiting in the laboratory.

Then Ye Bai's figure was teleported there.

"Lord Kuimu Wolf, have you made your selection?"

"Just now, Marshal Qilin ordered that you quickly enter the Qi Fortune Hall to formally accept the Kuimu Wolf legacy."

"Please use the token immediately to enter Qi Fortune Hall."

Du Shukui waved his hand, and the scepter disappeared instantly.

"Director Du, aren't you going to check the treasures I selected?"

Ye Bai asked Du Shukui.

"No need to look; if you had selected more than three treasures, the scepter wouldn't have teleported you here."

"You would have been directly teleported outside the underground laboratory."

"You'd better hurry to the Qi Fortune Hall now."

"The Ji Water Leopard has urged me more than ten times, and now I'm really overwhelmed."

Du Shukui was obviously pressed beyond bearing.

"Alright, I will teleport to the Qi Fortune Hall now."

Ye Bai took out the Black Iron Token, injecting his spiritual power into it, and everything began to spin around.

Soon, Ye Bai found himself in an ancient great hall.

In the depths of the magnificent palace, among the carved beams and painted columns, in the golden and splendid center of the hall, there were statues representing five elements and auspiciousness: Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin, representing the elements of wood, metal, fire, water, and earth respectively.

They appeared vivid, each as if it were alive.

The Cyan Dragon coiled and soared, baring sharp claws and teeth, its scales detailed and lifelike, faintly appearing in the mist, its long antlers formed from Jianmu, emanating the aura of Jianmu.

The White Tiger sat mightily, watching intently, its sharp claws extended, seemingly ready to pounce on lurking prey, constructed from countless sharp swords.

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings as if about to soar, its brilliant feathers blazing as bright red as a fierce fire, casting dazzling light in the palace, carved from a massive fire crystal.

The Black Tortoise lay steady, its shell hard as rock, its four claws gripping the ground firmly, appearing unshakeable, covered with an ancient aura.

The Qilin was gentle and noble, its horns majestic, earth-yellow energy converging on its mane, its earth-yellow scales emitting chilling strands under the bright lights.

The palace's interior was sumptuously decorated, with every wall engraved with divine inscriptions, symbolizing the aura of gods.

Everywhere radiated the sacred aura and grandeur of Qi Fortune Hall.

The huge dome was inlaid with countless gems, which sparkled with dazzling light under the illumination.

Golden pillars stood tall and imposing, their bodies engraved with exquisite patterns, also composed of dense divine inscriptions.

The floor was paved with smooth white jade stone, warm in winter and cool in summer, adjusting to the body's temperature to keep it always spring-like.

"Impressive, isn't it?"

Marshal Qilin stepped out.

He exuded an astonishing aura.

At this moment, the Qilin statue seemed to move, as if attempting to awaken, but under Marshal Qilin's soothing, it returned to slumber.

"Ye Bai, summoning you here for training is out of necessity."

"I have observed through the Qi Fortune Hall that major changes are coming."

"And the changes are directed at the Sea God Abyss."

"That's always been where the Angel Legion wants to attack, and even the Rooster suffered a huge loss there."

"Ye Bai, I hope you and the other Twenty-Eight Constellations can grow rapidly."

"Especially you, as the White Tiger's Fang, you must stand tall."

"Otherwise, it will be a great loss for us all."

Marshal Qilin said solemnly.

"I understand, Marshal Qilin."

"How should I accept the legacy?"

Marshal Qilin sharply tapped his finger toward Ye Bai's brow.

The Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade appeared before Ye Bai.

"It's simple."

"Your Pet Beast Space has been sealed by me."

"Currently, the only thing you can rely on is the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade."

"No matter how your Pet Beast struggles, it cannot break my seal."

"This is how to use the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade."

"You must bravely challenge the Twelve Palaces to complete the real test."

"There are a total of twelve hours, which is twenty-four hours, to get through these Twelve Palaces."

"If you fail, you will lose the qualification for the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade legacy, and we will find a new host for it."

"Since you are the Kuimu Wolf, as the White Tiger's Fang, our requirements are a bit higher."

Upon hearing Marshal Qilin's words, Ye Bai wanted to complain.

Who designed this brain-dead test? How is it different from Athena's challenge of the Twelve Palaces?

At least the Five-Class Warriors had so many Golden Saints supporting them in their challenge.

And what do I have? Only the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade.

Plus, during the challenge, some Golden Saints weren't even home, and some deliberately went easy.

I'm really going through the Twelve Palaces myself.

Ye Bai may have complained, but he still respectfully saluted Marshal Qilin.

"Then, please teleport me to the Twelve Palaces, Marshal Qilin."

"I will accept the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade legacy."

Marshal Qilin suddenly raised his head and said.

"Ye Bai, the test rules of each palace aren't set in stone, please be cautious."

"Moreover, trust your soul artifact more, their loyalty to you will never change."

"I hope you can become the official Kuimu Wolf!"

After speaking, Marshal Qilin waved vigorously, Ye Bai spun around again and fell to the ground, landing on his backside.

"Ouch."

"If I had known this, I would have used Steel Armor."

Ye Bai rubbed his sore backside and only then discovered that all his skills were unusable.

The skills he had borrowed from his Pet Beast, none were usable.

This showed that Marshal Qilin had not only sealed the Pet Beast Space but also Ye Bai's skills.

This was meant for Ye Bai to truly use the power of the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade, strengthening his bond with it.

Looking up, Ye Bai saw a palace called Rat Palace before him.

The Rat Palace was not luxurious in appearance but exuded a sense of calm and antiquity.

The hall was built with bluestone, with mottled traces of time on its surface.

The palace door was half-open, emitting gentle light and the sound of squeaking from within.

"Is anyone there?"

Ye Bai gently pushed open the palace door, which creaked open.

As he entered, an unusual tranquility enveloped him.

Several antique bronze lamps hung from the beams, casting soft yellow light.

On the walls, murals depicted the figures of rats and rodent-type pet beasts, appearing almost alive from a distance.

But most eye-catching were the vivid sculptures of rodent-type pet beasts.

Either standing or lying, leaping or bounding, each statue intricately carved.

The statues were crafted from various stones, some warm as jade, some rustic as stone.

A slight breeze stirred, gently swaying the palace's lanterns, and their shadows danced against the stone walls.

At this moment, a huge shadow moved towards Ye Bai, the ground resounding with thuds.

As it approached, Ye Bai saw it was a fat rat gnawing on meat.
