A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 12 The trial begins!
The military region leader's style of doing things was indeed swift and decisive.

Before Gu Xing could react, she felt a tightness around her waist.
Wei Yuan actually carried him and Liuli straight into the sky!

"Whoosh——"

With a whooshing sound, a giant bird that blotted out the sky suddenly tore through the clouds.

The three landed steadily on its broad back, and Gu Xing subconsciously probed the information about this beast:

【Sky-Swallowing Lark】

[Qualifications: ???]

【grade:? ? ? 】

【property:???】

【Skill:???】

The sea of ​​question marks sent a jolt through Gu Xing's heart.

But what surprised him even more was that even though the speed of the swallowing larks was so fast that they were tearing the air apart, they could not feel any wind pressure.

This means that the beast beneath him is at least at the commander level, and very likely at the monarch level.

Before long, a distorted blue light curtain stretched across the sky in sight.

"This is the spatial passage connecting the two realms. After passing through here and flying for a few more hours, we can reach the trial grounds." Wei Yuan's voice remained clear in the howling wind.

The swallowing lark let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and disappeared into the light curtain.

And below them—

More than twenty teams surrounded Chen Ziming and the succubus like stars around the moon.

The team leader, in a fawning tone, said, "Young Master Chen, rest assured, with the assistance of our elite team, we will definitely help you break through to the 7th level of Awakening!"

But Chen Ziming turned a deaf ear.

He stared intently at the spatial passage, his eyes flashing with a sinister, cold light.

“Gu Xing.” His clenched fist bulged with veins. “Comparing resources to the Chen family? I’ll show you what despair truly means.”

"With twenty teams helping me level up, what do you have to compare with me?!"

Three hours later, the Skylark landed at the military base surrounded by mountains.

As Gu Xing jumped off the giant bird's back, he immediately noticed two young men in addition to the soldiers in the camp square.

These two must be his companions who participated in the trial with him!

"Ying Bing and Qin Tian are from Kyoto and have SSS-level potential."

"Gu Xing, from Lin Yuan City, also has SSS-level potential."

"This trial will be undertaken by the three of you together!"

Wei Yuan briefly introduced the information about the group.

Standing on the left, Ying Bing was dressed in white, with a small, crystal-clear bird perched on her shoulder.

Upon hearing Wei Yuan's introduction, she nodded slightly to Gu Xing.

However, her gaze lingered on Liuli for a few more seconds, a hint of surprise flashing in her icy blue pupils.

Gu Xing greeted her politely, then checked the woman's information about her beast taming.

【Frosty Ice Phoenix】

[Qualification: Legendary 1-star]

[Level: Awakening Tier 5]

【Strength: 120】

[Physique: 130]

【Spirit: 178】

【Speed: 150】

[Skills: Frost Spike Piercing, Frost Storm, Frost Ring Imprisonment (After use, the beast enters a weakened state)]

As for Qin Tian on the right, he had his arms crossed, with a three-meter-tall bronze tree-man standing beside him.

He glanced at Gu Xing sideways, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Lin Yuan City?
never heard of that!

Are there geniuses in such a small town?
Most likely, they get their SSS rating by racking up points!
However, because Wei Yuan was present, he did not voice his thoughts, but simply stood aside, pretending to be aloof.

Gu Xing didn't take Qin Tian's attitude seriously.

He didn't participate in this trial to make friends; his goal was the Crystal of Light. As for his trial companions, it would be best if they got along.

It's not a big deal if we don't get along, since we won't see each other again after this trial.

Even so, he still checked the other party's beast taming information:
【War Tree】

[Qualification: Legendary 1-star]

[Level: Awakening Tier 5]

【Strength: 160】

[Physique: 165]

【Spirit: 112】

【Speed: 105】

[Skills: Root Strangulation, Giant Tree Bombardment, Ironwood Barrier]

Gu Xing carefully compared the data of the three beasts and gradually formed a judgment in his mind.

"Both are legendary 1-star aptitude, yet the difference is so obvious."

Although Liuli's various attributes are not top-notch, it excels in balanced development and has no weaknesses.

More importantly, she has four skills, one more skill slot than the other two beast tamers.

Ying Bing's Frost Phoenix was clearly superior to Qin Tian's War Treant, especially the [Frost Ring Imprisonment] skill, which Gu Xing was particularly concerned about.
Just like Ruri's "Final Lament," this requires paying a certain price.

Gu Xing guessed that the higher the cost required to release it, the more terrifying the power of the skill.

This seems to be equivalent to the ultimate move of Beast Taming!

[Final Lament (The tamed beast falls into a deep sleep after being released)]

Looking at Liuli's skill, he decided that he would never use it unless it was a matter of life and death.

Then, he turned his gaze to Qin Tian's War Treant.
This beast, besides having excellent strength and physical attributes...
There doesn't seem to be anything else particularly outstanding!

All three skills are unremarkable, and it doesn't even have a "finishing move" yet!
Gu Xing secretly estimated that this war treant had barely reached the threshold of legendary aptitude.

Having understood Ying Bing and Qin Tian's abilities in controlling beasts, Gu Xing's gaze finally settled on Liu Li.

All things considered, he is still more satisfied with his own little angel.

"Master?" Liuli tilted her head in confusion.

His slender fingers unconsciously stroked his silver hair, and the soft touch from his fingertips warmed his heart.

"Owner?"

Liuli looked up at her face in confusion, her golden eyes filled with bewilderment.

She subconsciously rubbed her palm against Gu Xing's, a tender gesture that sent a shiver down Gu Xing's spine.

guilt guilt
Fortunately, Wei Yuan spoke up again, attracting Liuli's attention and preventing the little angel from noticing her master's unusual behavior.

"Is there anything else you need to prepare? If not, I'll take you to the trial grounds." Wei Yuan's gaze swept over the three of them.

Gu Xing coughed lightly and withdrew his hand imperceptibly, the smooth touch of the glass-like hair still lingering on his fingertips.

"We can leave anytime."

Ying Bing and Qin Tian, ​​who were standing to the side, also indicated that they were ready to go.

Soon, Wei Yuan led them to an ancient hall.

Although the main hall is dilapidated, its former grandeur can still be seen from some details.

"This place was once a sacred site for the elves, but for some reason, the entire elven race disappeared, leaving only this trial ground."

"You should be able to obtain a good reward if you pass this trial."

"But if you encounter danger, you should choose to withdraw in time, after all, your safety is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, Chief Wei!" Qin Tian patted his chest and assured him, "With me here, we're absolutely certain we'll succeed in this trial!"

Wei Yuan gave him a deep look: "I hope so!"

"Without further ado," Wei Yuan pointed to the stone platform in the center of the hall, "you can start the trial by placing your hands on it."

"Finally," he declared in a booming voice, as all the soldiers snapped to attention and saluted, "we wish you a triumphant return!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the three of them simultaneously placed their hands on the stone platform.

In an instant, a blinding white light shot into the sky, completely engulfing the three figures.
