Eternal Beast Taming Family

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's question, Hu Wei forced a smile.

"I am a civil official of the Jingyuan royal family, from the sixth-rank noble Hu family, and one of the examiners for this training ground. I am Hu Wei."

Seemingly quite satisfied with his identity, Hu Wei provided a very detailed introduction.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be one of the proctors. Chu Shengfan's eyes revealed a hint of wariness, wondering why this person had suddenly approached him.

"So it's the invigilator. May I ask what brings you here?"

Standing beside Chu Shengfan, Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li also looked wary, sensing that this person's arrival had a sinister undertone.

"It's nothing serious. During the trial just now, your source beast was quite special and attracted the attention of the noble people above. I wonder where your source beast came from, and whether you have any means to purchase it."

If you can share your connections and resources, the reward will certainly be substantial.

Chu Shengfan then realized his purpose, but he wondered who this important person was. Was it a high-ranking official or someone from the Jingyuan royal family?

"To be honest, invigilator, the evolution of this source beast was purely accidental. Its evolutionary path was extremely complicated and unstable. Even if we were to do it all over again, I cannot guarantee that it would evolve to its current form."

Chu Shengfan wasn't lying; under normal circumstances, evolving from "Floating Jellyfish" to "Spiritual Mica" is relatively easy.

However, its evolution from "Spiritual Mica" to "Elemental Spirit" is extremely troublesome. Not only are there the materials needed for the evolution, but the most important thing is that it is difficult to maintain the balance of elements within the "Spiritual Mica".

In comparison, it is much simpler for "Spiritual Mica" to evolve into "Cloud Domain Spirit Lord".

Therefore, even if Chu Shengfan were given a "Spiritual Mica", he could not guarantee that he would be able to evolve another "Elemental Spirit".

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, Hu Wei's expression instantly turned somewhat gloomy.

"Are you sure these source beasts are really that rare?"

Seeing that Hu Wei's mood was a bit off, Chu Shengfan's wariness deepened. "Indeed, it's so rare. If it weren't so difficult, I doubt even a big shot would bother with it."

"Hmph, since that's the case, then sever your bond with this one."

No sooner had he uttered those words than Chu Shengyuan, who was standing next to Chu Shengfan, exploded, pointing his finger at Hu Wei's nose and cursing him.

"What nonsense are you spouting, old man? Do you think forcibly taking things is the law of your Jingyuan capital?"

Having lived for so many years, Hu Wei inevitably faced ridicule and sarcasm from people of the same level in the capital. Moreover, in recent years, because he had attached himself to Jing Heng, the future crown prince, even the heads of those powerful families had to look at him with more respect.

When had he ever experienced being pointed at and scolded by a teenager? In an instant, his pale face turned red.

The fox-like beast on the cloud beside him sensed Hu Wei's inner turmoil and, through a telepathic connection, its tail instantly grew larger, lashing out at Chu Shengyuan from afar.

The "Crimson Jade Bird" beside Nan Li let out a high-pitched cry, and large patches of crimson feathers floated in the air, then transformed into long, fiery tails that pierced towards the giant beard tail that was slashing at her.

Nan Li also coldly retorted, "You dare? You dare touch my people?"

Upon hearing Nan Li speak, Hu Wei seemed to realize that one of the three was also a member of the royal family, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Although he had Prince Heng's backing, he didn't dare to offend another royal family. If a conflict broke out, the Jingyuan royal family would only treat him as a disposable pawn, a fact he understood very well.

Under his intense mental control, the fox-like beast beside him instantly retracted its massive tail.

However, Huo Yu on the other side did not stop, but continued to stab Hu Wei.

A thin layer of mist rose around Hu Wei, blocking all the fire feathers.

Seeing that her attack was ineffective, Nan Li snorted coldly, but did not make another move. After all, there was still a gap in their cultivation levels, and there would be no point in continuing to attack.

"Princess Nanli, I am truly sorry. My son's words were too vulgar just now, causing me to lose my composure."

"What do you mean, 'little brat'? How dare you call my fiancé that?"
