Chapter 54: Pet Beast Goes Solo
"What is this monster!!!"
The terrifying swarm of mosquitoes summoned by Lin Jing directly suppressed a genius from the Talent Ranking, causing the pupils of all the Dragon Palace members to contract.
Upon seeing Lin Jing appear, Wang Xiao, who just intended to challenge Lin Jing, immediately retracts his challenge invitation and looks at the swarm in disbelief.
"This is... one of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea, the Cloud Sea Mosquito Beast!!!"
"Why are there so many Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts here!!!" Xu Zhizhi is shocked.
"Isn't that the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle I sent!" Gao Sheng has also recognized the magical artifact Lin Jing used to unleash the mosquito beasts.
Lin Jing smiles, "Just now, I captured these ferocious beasts while passing by. Thanks to Brother Gao's magical artifact, it wasn't so difficult to subdue them. Next, this swarm of mosquitoes will also soak in the blood pool with everyone!"
This Demon Emperor Blood Pool shouldn't go to waste.
He and the Pine Leaf Mouse don't need it.
The only one that needs it is the Dragon Carp, which actually doesn't need it that much, since its bloodline level is already quite high. The Demon Emperor's Blood was diluted countless times to make it bearable for the Foundation Establishment Stage... Moreover, even if it has some effect, the Dragon Carp isn't here now.
However, upon seeing the blood pool, Lin Jing understands that the mosquito swarm he just subdued is fortunate.
He wonders to what extent this swarm of mosquitoes can proliferate after soaking in the blood pool.
As Lin Jing finishes speaking, the mosquito swarm buzzes towards the blood pool. Seeing this, Xu Zhizhi swallows hard and says, "Let's go down too."
"Thank you, Palace Master Guardian."
"Congratulations in advance to the Palace Master for ascending the Talent Ranking!!"
All members of the Dragon Palace immediately react, take a deep breath, and enter the blood pool with their dragon pets to soak.
Xu Zhizhi's flattery also shakes the hearts of these Dragon Palace geniuses once again, amazed by Lin Jing's terror.
Lin Jing's achievements today are far more absurd than when he once balanced the suppressed realm against Wang Xiao.
One must know... Lin Jing is still only at the Qi Cultivation Stage now!
He can already suppress a genius at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage... Although it's all because of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea, external power, everyone hears that these Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts were just subdued by Lin Jing while passing.
"Terrifying." Zhou Lang, who had become the focus of the Dragon Palace moments ago, can't help but admit defeat, quietly entering the pool.
The people have arrived in the Cangmang Mountain Range for such a short time, yet in this short time, how did Lin Jing subdue such terrifying ferocious beasts? People find it difficult to understand.
Not to mention them, even the academy masters seated on the clouds above aren't very understanding.
"To be able to drive Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts so quickly..."
"Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle from Qingzhou Beast Sect can control demon beasts, the low-grade versions they sell have a very hard time refining the beasts' innate ferocity..."
"It's surely because Lin Jing possesses other Beast Taming techniques... The secret technique from the Beast Taming Sect and the magical artifacts from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect are absolute nemeses of demon beasts."
"Poor Chu Ren didn't even have time to react before his spiritual sea was shaken wildly by the metallic noise of the mosquito swarm."
"Brother Tian, it seems that the wild genius defeating the Talent Ranking cultivator is this Lin Jing. Shouldn't he soon ascend the Talent Ranking?" Cao Zhiwei asked Celestial Regret Flower of Celestial Secret Tower.
Celestial Regret Flower nodded and said, "Naturally, and it's been a long time since someone at the Qi Cultivation Stage ascended the human list."
Cao Zhiwei then turned his head to look at Lin Jing, realizing he didn't expect the genius he brought from the Great Wilderness Domain to reach this step today.
Although Lin Jing has been dazzling in recent years, his fame has been circulating only within the Ancient Domain.
Without top forces propelling him forward, a Qi Cultivation cultivator, even if breaking through extremes, finds it very hard to "break through domains" completely for fame.
Every domain of the nine domains of the Ancient Country is vast, with varied customs, and natural barriers hindering communication. Even if information circulates, it's crucial intelligence rather than about a Qi Cultivation Stage genius.
The last Qi Cultivation Stage fame spreading through the nine domains was when the Prince Gu reached the Qi Cultivation Stage thirteenth level.
He guessed, perhaps even within the dispersed Beast Taming Sect, the Sect Leader, elders, disciples don't yet know that this disciple of the sect entering the academy is already capable of ascending the Talent Ranking.
This achievement, not to mention not appearing among Beast Taming Sect disciples, in the entire Great Wilderness Domain, young cultivators successfully entering the Talent Ranking in the past century can probably be counted on two hands.
"The new edition of the Talent Ranking will soon be released to the nine domains, and by then, his name should be there," said Celestial Regret Flower.
"But the specific ranking is hard to say..." His gaze is leisurely; at this time, more and more people are approaching the Dragon Transformation Blood Pool!
...
"Go in." Lin Jing sits cross-legged above the Dragon Transformation Blood Pool; the pool below has already been completely occupied by the Dragon Palace members.
Fang Shilin from Changchun Valley arrives bewildered, looking at the defeated talent Chu Ren thrown aside, still unclear on what happened, then gently invited into the blood pool by Lin Jing.
However, this treatment is only for Dragon Palace members; others, whether newcomers or veterans, upon discovering this place, are immediately warned by Lin Jing not to approach.
Initially, some veterans were furious, but Chu Ren defeated on the side, along with the eerie mosquito swarm in the blood pool, was too bizarre.
"Brother Wang, won't you soak? You have been staring at me for quite a while. Although you haven't joined the Dragon Palace, it doesn't matter; in my heart, you are already a member of the Dragon Palace! Xu Zhizhi has already told me, you just acted righteously for the Dragon Palace," Lin Jing looked at Wang Xiao standing nearby.
Wang Xiao is quite silent.
"I have the Divine Body, and it has the Royal Blood Demon Beast; these herbs don't have much effect on us."
He now stays here yet doesn't intend to challenge anymore, planning to observe Lin Jing further to see the true situation, not because he's afraid, but because the mosquito swarm is too abnormal.
Under Wang Xiao's wait, sure enough, another powerful genius appears soon.
This visitor naturally has three pupils, with a majestic look, accompanied by several people traveling together.
"Creator of the Pupil Alliance, Liu Yu."
Wang Xiao looks at him.
"Ranked thirty-first on the Talent Ranking."
Different from the previous Chu Ren, who relied almost entirely on family background and was at the tail end of the Talent Ranking, this one before is a genuine genius.
"Cloud Sea Mosquito Beast..." He looks at the fallen Chu Ren, the Dragon Palace members and mosquito beasts in the blood pool, finally turning towards Lin Jing who was playing with the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle.
At this moment, Lin Jing calmly looks at Liu Yu, feeling that a big fish finally approached.
Wondering if the Pine Leaf Mouse and the mosquito swarm together can defeat Liu Yu.
"Brother Liu, it's been a long time. Is your Pupil Alliance also interested in this Dragon Blood Herb Pool?"
"But the demon occupying the blood pool was vanquished by my Dragon Palace. If you want to share the blood pool, you must first pass this hurdle of mine."
"Not interested," Liu Yu casually speaks, "I thought it was some treasure that created a great demon, but it turned out to be a pool of blood."
Sensing Lin Jing's faint battle intent, Liu Yu doesn't plan to snatch the blood pool, as he has already recognized those mosquito beasts.
Originally thinking Lin Jing and the Dragon Palace wouldn't last long before disbanding, Liu Yu looks at Chu Ren, yet unexpectedly, it's the old veteran causing trouble who fell, while Lin Jing and the Dragon Palace appear quite flourishing.
"Let's go." Liu Yu says a word, turns to leave, but leaves a message before departing.
"I misjudged; you actually subdued this swarm of mosquitoes, but having such assistance and staying here at this pool, isn't this a bit petty? There's a mountain peak to the east, with a fierce plant transplanted from the Mist Forest by the academy, seemingly guarding some treasure, and many formidable individuals are there attempting to unravel it; aren't you going to have a look?"
Lin Jing remains unmoved, not greedy; obtaining the mosquito beasts and the blood pool, he is already very satisfied, contentment brings happiness, most importantly, without him personally subduing and overseeing, allowing the mosquito beasts to feed on the dragon's blood would definitely cause them to go berserk, their ferocity still has not been fully refined, they can only be considered tameable by him, he cannot move them... hence he can only summon the Pine Leaf Mouse.
"Pine Leaf Mouse, you go check and see if there are any treasures, and grab them back. Brother Liu invites generously, so no need to be polite."
