Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengyuan frowned slightly, flicked his hand, and an invisible barrier instantly stood between him and the golden blood mist. His mind stirred.

The golden blood mist, controlled by an even more mystical power, was drawn toward the "Black Pool Scale Serpent" bound on the ground.

The whole process took only a moment, and the golden blood mist was completely absorbed by the "Black Pool Scale Serpent".

The scene unfolding on Chu Shengyuan's dueling platform clearly attracted the attention of many people above the clouds.

"Hey, where did that kid come from? Instead of absorbing his opponent's talent and luck, he sent it to a source beast."

"Speaking of which, what happens when a Source Beast absorbs a person's talent and luck? It seems like nothing like this has ever happened before."

"Interesting. I didn't expect such a wonderful scene to appear in this academy trial."

"Hmph, you ignorant brat, you'll regret missing such an opportunity later."

Some people recognized Chu Shengyuan's identity.

"Isn't that the fiancé of the princess of the Imperial Sea True King's Mansion? And he really is such a young child."

"Do you think the royal family will punish this young man for showing such contempt for the arena?"

"I don't think so," someone nearby said, shaking their head.

Just as this person said, upon seeing this scene, an old man sitting at the very top of the cloud spoke with a gentle expression.

"This young prince consort of the Imperial Sea True King's Mansion seems to be a proud person who disdains absorbing the talents and fortunes of others. Therefore, he need not participate in the upcoming platform competition, as he wishes."

"And Princess Nanli is also here. Quickly invite her to the banquet. Having finally made it to the capital, she naturally needs to get to know all these nobles properly."

Its voice was soft, yet it was carried by some force, spreading throughout the vast clouds.

As he finished speaking, the bronze chains binding Chu Shengyuan and Princess Nanli, who had not yet made a move, were instantly released.

A white cloud appeared beneath their feet, carrying them away from the training grounds and towards the cloud banquet high in the sky.

Chu Shengyuan felt somewhat bewildered. He put the black snake, which was still bound by vines, into a spatial artifact specifically for storing source beasts, and then stepped onto the clouds. It was better to avoid a battle later, as he was unwilling to kill people for no reason.

The clouds gradually rose, and halfway there, Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li met up. Nan Li didn't say anything, but gave Chu Shengyuan a reassuring look.

Only when they reached the very top layer of clouds did the cloud carrying the two of them slowly slow down.

However, besides the three elderly men of high status, there were also many young faces on this floor. Judging from the similarity in their appearances, they were probably all young members of the royal family.

The most eye-catching of them all was a young man who sat at the same level as the three old men, with a hint of wickedness in his eyes.

This must be Jing Heng, Chu Shengyuan thought to himself.

As the attendant guided him to a vacant seat, Chu Shengyuan looked towards the training grounds and realized that sitting there did indeed give him a sense of being high above and looking down on all living beings.

The battle arenas in those training grounds were like stages for performances, providing entertainment for these nobles.

Chu Shengyuan didn't say anything; he was searching among the many battle arenas for the one where his brother was.

Chu Shengfan's battle was not over yet, or rather, it wasn't over. His opponent was lying limp on the ground, completely incapacitated, but Chu Shengfan had yet to finish him off.

"Why did the young princess come to the capital with an academy quota? She didn't even bother to inform us properly so that we, as her elders, could build her a princess's residence."

"I appreciate your kind intentions, but it would be a bit extravagant to do so. Besides, I would like to experience what it is like for students to undergo training."

Princess Nanli wore a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

What's all this talk about welcoming her properly? She's been here for so long and has never seen anyone from the royal family come to visit her even once. Doesn't she know whether or not the royal family values ​​her?

Upon hearing Nan Li's words, a member of the royal family sitting next to her chuckled and said, "Princess Nan Li's hobbies are quite peculiar, but it's to be expected, otherwise she wouldn't have taken a liking to such a young man so early on."

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Chu Shengyuan, seemingly with some disdain.

Chu Shengyuan glanced at the disciple and realized he was only at the mid-level of the Domain Realm. He then rubbed his face and said softly...

"Well, my current level is something I achieved on my own, which is much better than some people who reached their level by relying on resources."

The royal member seemed surprised that Chu Shengyuan would dare to speak in such a prestigious setting, and paused for a moment.

His gaze glared at me, and a powerful mental shock followed.

Chu Shengyuan chuckled softly. If they were so easily flustered, his opinion of the royal family would drop several points.

The "Spirit Void Dragon" did not reveal its form, but a thin, illusory spiritual shield appeared around Chu Shengyuan, easily blocking the attack for him.

Princess Nanli stared intently at the royal member who had made the move, her red robes seemingly ablaze with a special flame.

"What are you doing? I only managed to refute your sarcasm a few times, and you immediately resorted to violence. You have no manners whatsoever."

Although both are members of the royal family, the one in front of him is clearly not the kind that is valued, and his bloodline seems to be relatively distant. Naturally, he cannot compare to Nan Li, who is a king and has a grandfather.

That's why Nan Li dared to shout so loudly.

The elder, whose expression remained stern, glared at the royal descendant. "Being competitive and ambitious will never lead to great things. Go and reflect on your actions."

Faced with the old man's reprimand, the young man became obedient, cupped his hands in greeting, and his figure drifted away with the clouds.

Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Chu Shengyuan, it seemed this feud was about to begin.

"I practically watched your grandfather grow up. I haven't seen him for decades. Is he doing well?"

Nan Li spoke softly, "It's still the same as before, but the sea beasts in Tianyuan Sea are causing frequent disturbances, and Grandpa really can't spare the time to come to the capital, so he can only ask me to convey his greetings to all the elders."

"That's good. Although the Tianyuan Sea is constantly in turmoil due to the sea beasts, it is perfectly suited to your grandfather's position as the True King of the Sea. I'm afraid he will be able to break through to the Venerable King realm at some point."

Nan Li nodded gently, "My grandfather often lamented that he had exhausted his talent, and that becoming a True King was probably the limit of his life. He dared not hope for a higher realm."

"No, no, how can someone so young lack respect?"

Nan Li herself detested such meaningless back-and-forth flattery, especially since these old men in front of her were all several generations older than her own grandfather, yet they were acting like elders, offering advice.

If her grandfather were really standing in front of them, they probably wouldn't be able to say a word.

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Chu Shengyuan focused his gaze intently on his brother's battle arena, wanting to know what his brother's true intentions were.
