Eternal Beast Taming Family

Faced with the overwhelming power of such a skill, and with such a sudden attack failing to achieve their goal, a hint of despair flashed across the faces of the students surrounding them who were attacking.

Almost as soon as Chu Shengfan and his two companions were unharmed during their first encounter with an attack from five high-level Origin Beasts, they secretly began to plot against each other, hoping to find an opportunity to eliminate Chu Shengfan from the game beforehand, even if it meant inflicting some injuries on him.

If Chu Shengfan were allowed to survive, no one would have a chance of survival against him alone on the final life-or-death battle stage.

They just didn't expect that upon entering this trial, Chu Shengfan would withstand the siege of so many high-level domain-rank source beasts, and he himself would appear to be exhausted.

Despite so many of them attacking at the same time, they didn't gain even the slightest advantage.

Seeing that their first attack had failed, the students did not linger in the fight and fled in all directions from the training grounds.

There are only a few rounds of life-or-death battles on the arena, and only a handful of people will actually get to face Chu Shengfan. They wouldn't risk their lives fighting Chu Shengfan here just for the possibility of facing him in the future.

Chu Shengfan slightly raised his eyes, and two halos of light spread outwards from his body at an extremely fast speed, even faster than the students who were scattering in all directions.

In an instant, their aura, along with that of the source beasts beside them, weakened, and their speed decreased significantly.

Even more remarkably, one student had contracted a spatial-type source beast. Although he had already opened half of the spatial passage, it instantly closed again when the golden ring swept over it.

In just a moment, compared to Chu Shengfan who was floating in the void, their aura seemed like fireflies unable to compete with the bright moon. They also seemed to recall the innate fear and submission they felt when facing a Domain-level Contract Master during their Spirit Rank days.

Centered on Chu Shengfan, the "Elemental Spirit" beside him condensed many tentacles made of wood element, which bound all the students who had just participated in the attack on Chu Shengfan, along with their source beasts, from a distance.

Chu Shengyuan, who had just rushed over from the other side of the battle, flew to his brother's side and saw that the students had been dragged over. He went up and slapped the people closest to him one by one.

The students' cultivation levels have been suppressed to around the upper level of the Spirit Realm. Although their physical attributes are still at the Domain Realm, their weak spiritual energy makes them unable to withstand Chu Shengyuan's hateful slap, which caused them to bleed profusely and have broken teeth flying everywhere.

Chu Shengyuan originally intended to kill them with one punch, but then he remembered that his brother had only kept them by his side for some other purpose, so he held back a little.

"Brother, are these people still of any use to you?"

The subtext is, of course, that if someone is useless, just kill them.

Chu Shengfan reached out and patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder. "Of course it's useful. In the platform trial two days from now, the more people there are, the better."

In fact, compared to the beginning, there are not many students left in the training grounds now, only two or three hundred.

Two or three hundred Domain-level Contract Masters may sound like a huge team, but you should know that this is the generation of geniuses gathered from all the cities under the jurisdiction of the Jingyuan Dynasty.

Once they are assigned to different districts, basically no one from a large city can be sent out.

However, the subsequent battles will involve three rounds, and only those who survive will be able to leave this training ground.

"Some people are bound to die eventually. Dying on the opposite platform can be considered a good deed."

Chu Shengfan inherited his father's pure kindness, but he was not pedantic. If these people did not oppose him, they would naturally live in peace. However, since they dared to unite to harm him, they would have to pay the corresponding price.

In other words, two days later, no matter who they face, Chu Shengfan will inflict a 'weak' negative effect on them. In this final battle where the strength of the opponents is roughly equal, their chances of survival are virtually nil.

Chu Shengyuan clearly understood his elder brother's meaning, and his breathing calmed down. However, after a moment, he helplessly sat down cross-legged again.

"I wonder what other tricks that old guy will pull in two days."

Nan Li rushed over from the other side, her gaze only briefly sweeping over the students and source beasts bound like dumplings before she walked to Chu Shengyuan's side.

"Don't worry, for the final trial, all the deans of the academies, as well as the nobles, will be in attendance. He's just a lowly civil official; he wouldn't dare to resort to any underhanded tactics at a time like this."

Chu Shengyuan rubbed his hands together. "What I'm afraid of isn't that guy who's causing trouble, but the people behind him who will take the initiative."

Chu Shengfan nodded slightly. "Xiao Yuan is right. Princess Nanli, how is it? Any news about that Prince Jingheng?"

Nan Li nodded slightly, and with a slight lift of her hand, a protective shield that prevented prying eyes enveloped the three of them before she spoke:

"We have actually gathered some information about that Prince Jingheng."

As is well known, the Jingyuan Dynasty selects the most outstanding member of the royal family every hundred years to be groomed as the next crown prince.

The so-called Crown Prince is the person with the greatest potential to break through to the King-level Contract Master in the past hundred years. For the past century, one-fifth of the royal family's resources will be fully allocated to the Crown Prince to support his growth.

Moreover, it also had a certain degree of decision-making power over some affairs of the dynasty.

The crown prince for this century is Jing Heng, and he is the one presiding over this academy trial.

After explaining the royal secrets known only to families of the sixth rank and above to the two brothers, Nan Li paused before continuing:

"This Prince Jingheng is thirty-seven years old this year, and his cultivation level is at the upper level of the Domain Rank. He only has one known contracted source beast, the Heavenly Fire Star Beast, which is said to have hatched after sensing his birth."

The two formed a contract at birth, and this beast's bloodline is extraordinary. I suspect that it was involved in our first Heavenly Fire Trial.

Because he is a member of the royal family, he doesn't appear in public very often, so his actual strength remains questionable. All that can be said is that he is very strong, extremely strong, given the vast amount of royal resources he receives.

"He is probably the one who, with his Domain-level status, can defy the odds and defeat a Contract Master of the Evolutionary Rank. He is the person the royal family has declared to be the most promising candidate to become the next king in a thousand years."

Listening to Nan Li's introduction, Chu Shengyuan stroked his chin and clicked his tongue twice.

"From your description, he's practically invincible, almost the same age as our father, and his cultivation level is almost catching up with ours. He's undeserving of the title, undeserving of the title."

Nan Li shrugged. "I didn't praise him on my own initiative. This information was sent to me by someone else. The descriptions in those materials are even more exaggerated than this. I really can't put those words into words, so I'll just skip them for you."

Chu Shengfan's expression was somewhat solemn. "Xiaofan, we'll split up later. You go to the west side of the training grounds, as far away from me as possible."

Chu Shengyuan was confused by Chu Shengfan's words and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why?"
