My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Two days passed by in a blink.

During these two days, Gu Xing almost traversed the entire City of Chaos, yet he never saw the mysterious Ghost Tribe girl again.

This was naturally because Fei Yue deliberately avoided him.

She still hadn't come up with a way to persuade her sister, and seeing Gu Xing would certainly lead her to make a contract...

Therefore, she simply avoided Gu Xing and didn't appear!

Gu Xing sighed lightly and temporarily put aside this regret.

There are more important matters awaiting him now.

The entrance to the special Secret Realm is not far from the City of Chaos, and it wasn't long before he arrived at the entrance.

Because there are few who can achieve a million points and exchange it for the qualification to enter the special Secret Realm.

Gu Xing glanced around and found only forty or fifty people participating in this Secret Realm.

But each person standing here is...

the cream of the crop of human talents!

However, just at this moment...

a delicate hand suddenly patted his left shoulder.

He turned instinctively, only to find no one behind him.

Then, his right shoulder was gently tapped again.

Gu Xing turned around in surprise...

Veronica was elegantly crossing her legs, one hand behind her back, the other lightly twisting her waterfall-like golden hair.

The sunlight cast a soft light on her exquisite profile, even her voice was deliberately lightened:

"Long time no see, Gu Xing~"

Gu Xing's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

If he didn't know this lady's bad personality, he might really be fooled by Veronica's ladylike act.

"Hey!" Veronica instantly broke character, "What's with that expression? Can't you play along with me?"

Gu Xing barely mustered a smile, "Long time no see, Miss Veronica..."

Only then did Veronica raise her chin, showing a triumphant smile.

Gu Xing shook his head helplessly, his gaze falling on the Guardian Beasts beside her.

He had already seen the Nether Spirit Leopard on the left last time.

As for the two-meter-tall white giant bear on the right...

The most striking feature is the ferocious scar over its left eye, almost splitting the bear's entire face in two!

Is this the young lady's new Guardian Beast?

[Polar Bear King (White Emperor)]

[Level: Extraordinary Tier Ninth]

[Talent: Half-Step Myth]

[Status: Special (Suppressed)]

[Power: 3000]

[Constitution: 3000]

[Spirit: 3000]

[Speed: 3000]

[Skills: Bear King Bloodline, Eternal Frost Freeze, Frosty Winter Majesty]

Seeing its half-step mythic talent, Gu Xing was a bit surprised.

This should be the peak batch of Guardian Beasts among the Human Race!

Besides the talent...

This bear's attributes are quite monstrous!

Almost catching up to Liu Li!

Meanwhile.

The White Emperor also appraised Gu Xing, a hint of scrutiny flashed in its single eye.

Is this the human who killed the Commander-level Demon Race?

Since Gu Xing didn't summon his Guardian Beast, the White Emperor couldn't gauge his true strength.

But from Gu Xing's aura... this human seemed quite ordinary!

Being able to kill a Commander-level Demon Race...

Could it be because his Guardian Beast is very powerful?

The Nether Spirit Leopard nearby noticed the White Emperor's gaze and immediately guessed its thoughts, quickly reminding:

"White Emperor, don't underestimate him, this human's talent..."

She paused, unable to find suitable words.

"Is terrifying!"

Scenes from the Elf Secret Realm flashed through her mind.

Gu Xing's disdainful gaze left a deep impression on her heart.

Upon hearing the Nether Spirit Leopard's reminder, the White Emperor's single eye squinted sharply, retracting its earlier contempt.

Being given such an assessment by a former Monarch Level companion, this human must not be underestimated.

And Veronica, seeing Gu Xing staring at the White Emperor, couldn't help but speak:

"Gu Xing, you think the White Emperor is ugly too, right? I think so too!"

Ugly?

Gu Xing almost couldn't hold it in.

For a Demigod Level Guardian Beast to be disliked for its appearance by this lady, it's truly unique.

Gu Xing was about to retort when a cold voice suddenly interjected.

"Miss Veronica."

Gu Xing turned his head to see a young girl in a pure white nun's robe walking gracefully towards them.

The most striking feature was the silver cross on her chest.

Meeting his gaze, the girl slightly curtsied with a smile.

However, Gu Xing could feel that her eyes held a cold aloofness.

"This Secret Realm is bustling! Both the Verlo family's young lady and the Church Saintess are here!"

"Wait, who's that black-haired young man standing with them?"

"From Longxia Country, right? Judging by his age, he's probably a student from the National Academy..."

"Do you think the three of them can surpass the record set by Commander Qin?"

"Miss Verlo and Lady Saintess very likely can, but that black-haired young man from Longxia... seems doubtful to me!"

From the discussions around, Gu Xing finally confirmed the identity of this nun girl...

Church Saintess—Cecilia!

She's also the strongest among the younger generation of the Church.

However...

Veronica seemed to have no good feelings for the Saintess.

"Ugh, always wearing that fake mask... the Church people are all hypocrites!"

Veronica rolled her eyes.

She suddenly wrapped her arm around Gu Xing's shoulder, deliberately raising her voice:

"Gu Xing, you must work hard in the Secret Realm, strive to trample some Saintess underfoot!"

Gu Xing's mouth twitched, his gaze slipping to Cecilia.

To say such things right in front of the person, this young lady indeed didn't fear creating a stir!

However, Cecilia completely ignored Veronica's disdain, reassessing Gu Xing.

To be spoken of so highly by Veronica, this man's strength must...

at least be at her and Verlo's level!

In the Church, only the strong are respected.

She gracefully lifted her skirt, proactively extending her right hand clad in white silk gloves:

"Nice to meet you, I'm Cecilia."

The voice remained gentle, but her eyes held more seriousness.

Veronica frantically tugged at Gu Xing's sleeve from behind, trying to stop him from extending his hand.

But at least Cecilia was the Saintess of the Church, the basic etiquette couldn't be ignored.

He lightly touched her fingertips, separating instantly:

"Gu Xing!"

Knowing Gu Xing's name, Cecilia, seeing Veronica's unwelcome demeanor, didn't continue to linger here pointlessly.

"See you in the Secret Realm!"

After leaving these words, Cecilia turned and left.

Once he saw the white figure disappear into the crowd, Gu Xing lowered his voice to ask Veronica:

"Do you have any grudges with her?"

Hearing this question, Veronica rarely put away her playful demeanor, gently shaking her head:

"No grudges, just don't agree with the Church's ideology!"

"Once you see with your own eyes what the Church does... you'll naturally understand!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing's brows furrowed slightly.

To be honest, he didn't know much about the Council and the Church.

But he knew the Council was managed by the Verlo Clan, as for the Church...

He only knew the Church was managed by the Holy See across the country.

About specifics, he wasn't very clear either.

Yet before he could ask more, Veronica shifted back to normal, changing the topic:

"But although we know each other, in the Secret Realm, I won't hold back when I encounter you!"

Seeing Veronica unwilling to speak further, he could only nod.

Next, a man in military uniform slowly walked to the center of the square.

"All trial takers, please enter the Trial Teleportation Array."

Veronica pulled him along towards the ancient array spanning a hundred meters in diameter on the ground.

As the last person stepped into the array, the military-clad man's hand came down:

"Activate!"

Hundreds of Star Stones suddenly shattered, the runes on the array began to flow like living creatures.

Space began to distort, and the figures of the crowd gradually turned transparent in the strong light...
