Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengyuan glanced at the gap in the blue shield protecting the entire giant ship, where people were still continuously boarding the ship.

"Brother, does our school have so many students who need to go to the capital? How come there are so many people? I think it's been half a day since we boarded the ship."

Upon hearing Chu Shengyuan's words, Chu Shengfan looked at him with a slightly reproachful gaze, as if to say, "It's obvious you didn't know more about this beforehand."

"Of course, it's not just the students from the academy. As far as I know, there were only about a hundred students who went this time."

The rest were powerful families or influential figures sent by the merchant guild from the Qianling Prefecture, as this was a rare opportunity to visit the capital.

Moreover, this is the safest route from Qianling Prefecture City to Jingyuan Royal Capital, so those aristocratic families are willing to spend exorbitant sums to send their children there to broaden their horizons.

"No wonder I saw so many unfamiliar faces, and many of them didn't know the rules."

Nan Li frowned, seemingly disapproving of certain behaviors.

Chu Shengyuan nodded in agreement, "However, among those aristocratic scions who haven't entered the academy, there seem to be some formidable and ruthless characters."

Chu Shengfan stepped forward and patted Chu Shengyuan's head. "Now that we're on the ship, it'll only be a few days. Behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble."

"Big brother, don't frame me. It was clearly others who provoked me first. I was just teaching them a lesson. Ask Nan Li; she's the most qualified to speak on this."

Chu Shengyuan gave Nan Li a look, and Nan Li immediately understood. She then chimed in, "That's right, it was because others went too far that we had to take action."

Chu Shengfan was truly at a loss with these two, so he could only shake his head and decide not to dwell on the topic.

"Let's go back to the cabin first. By the way, Xiao Yuan, how many guards did you bring on this trip?"

As Chu Shengyuan walked towards the cabin, he held up two fingers.

"Two of them, the Cheng brothers you've met. Besides, going out with a huge entourage doesn't seem very convenient to me. What about you, brother?"

Chu Shengfan held up three fingers, "Uncle Yuan, and Su Yi and Xu Yinyue."

"So, brother, your guard job isn't even as good as mine?"

The entire giant ship lurched violently, and the opening used for boarding slowly closed, completely covering the ship, which resembled a giant island in the sky, with a blue light shield.

At the same time, a gentle female voice rang out throughout the giant ship, "Inter-city space travel is about to begin. Please return to your cabins and do not linger outside to avoid spatial turbulence seeping in and causing accidental injury."

Not long after he finished speaking, no one and no beast could be seen outside the entire cabin.

At this moment, the dean's figure slowly appeared outside the cabin, and a source beast with nine eyes on its face, resembling both a monkey and a wolf, appeared beside him.

A dark purple light shot out from the nine eyes of the strange source beast, then converged outside the entire giant ship, creating a huge hole in the void where the light gathered.

At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be ripped open, and the violent spatial power was tearing wildly at the edge of the opening, but it was also as if it was firmly restrained by the dark purple light, and could only roll and pull at the edge.

The giant ship slowly sank into the opening from the sky, and only after it was completely submerged did the eerie, enormous crack slowly close.

Behind a certain academy, Grand Master Luo Xuan watched the departing giant ship, his expression unusually complex, a departure from his usual calm.

There seemed to be worry, anticipation, and a touch of uncertainty.

"Teacher, I have planned this scheme for a thousand years, and only three hundred years ago did a true king emerge. I wonder if another king of a different surname will be born three hundred years later? Will the dynasty built upon the corpses of Jingyuan collapse?"

……

Despite the vast distance, the academy's giant flying boat and the dean's strange source beast allowed them to reach their destination in just five days.

When it reappeared from that turbulent spatial channel, which flowed with different spatial lights and flickered erratically, it did not appear directly in the capital.

Instead, it was a mooring point a hundred miles away from the capital. The giant ship needed to stop there, and these people would need to change to another mode of transportation to reach the capital.

But when everyone appeared on the deck outside the cabin, they were all shocked by what they saw.

Looking towards the capital from afar, one can already see the towering building that seems to reach the heavens.

A giant beam of light pierced straight into the clouds, as if piercing the sky.

I heard that the capital city is divided into two levels. The first level is the ground-level capital city, which is used to house commoners, minor noble families, and lower-ranking nobles.

The upper level was built above the clouds and was intended for the royal family and the top families ranked sixth in rank.

Around the giant pillar of light, there were occasionally floating islands of clouds, with buildings on them that served different functions. Some were said to be academies, while others were offices that connected the upper and lower cities and promoted the king's policies.

The dean summoned all the students of the academy to his side, while the scions of wealthy families who had taken advantage of the situation were left to their own devices and could come and go as they pleased.

The dean pointed towards the middle section of the towering pillar of light.

"The place we're going to is there. Once we get there, we must all show the spirit of Qianling Academy. No matter what challenges we face, we must have confidence. Those who lose their spirit will not survive there."

Hearing the subtext in the dean's words, some students were visibly confused. "Dean, weren't we here to learn and exchange ideas? Why is there a question of survival?"

The dean glanced at the young man who had asked the question, his expression unchanged, as if he had heard similar questions many times before.

"You really don't think you live in a peaceful and tranquil era, do you? The extraterrestrial beasts are watching us like hawks. Without experiencing the trials of life and death, how can one become a true powerhouse?"

This is just a struggle between your own generation. Without the older generation crushing you, you don't need to do much more on this trip to the capital; just survive.

"I'd rather die at the hands of the source beasts outside the realm than die here fighting with my own kind." A soft mutter came from among the students.

The dean narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not investigate which student had spoken of it.

Since most of the students in front of them are only at the high level of the Spirit Rank, if they cannot seize the opportunity in the first few days before entering the venue to break through to the Domain Rank, they will only be used as waste material for this academy exchange conference.

"Whether we become nourishment for others or use others as stepping stones, the resources will ultimately remain in the hands of our human race. Dying at the hands of the source beasts is meaningless."

The dean spoke calmly, and then a giant "cloud-walking batfish" came from the horizon and slowly stopped in front of the students.

"Dean Qianling, I've come to pick you up."
