Eternal Beast Taming Family

"Different causes lead to different results. Your senior brother's voluntary sacrifice was probably not to see you continue to be so decadent."

Looking at the boy in front of him, Chu Shengfan seemed to see another possible version of Xiao Yuan, so he couldn't help but explain a few words in a gentle tone, even though they were now opponents on the battle stage.

After listening to Chu Shengfan's words, the young man slowly raised his head after a moment and murmured:

"Yes... I want to take my senior brother home."

As he spoke, the faint blood mist swirling around his body seemed to transform into warm hands, gently patting his head twice.

One after another, source beasts appeared beside the boy.

Chu Shengfan glanced over and saw six Origin Beasts. This must be the most Origin Beasts a single person has ever owned.

However, Chu Shengfan soon discovered that the faint red light swirling around three of the source beasts echoed the blood mist on the boy's body.

It must be the keepsake left to the young man by his senior brother.

Seeing that the young man's fighting spirit had been rekindled, Chu Shengfan unleashed "Mortal Realm of All Beings," and the colorful "Elemental Dome" once again covered the entire battle arena.

Most people above the clouds couldn't see the battle unfolding, which inevitably drew some complaints. However, many others didn't care about the battle itself, but simply chatted and talked with the others.

Only the three elders at the very top had gazes that seemed to see through everything.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the elemental dome on Chu Shengfan's battle platform slowly dissipated, leaving behind only six extremely weak source beasts and two blood-red jade pendants with gold patterns.

The boy who initially pretended to be insane eventually disappeared without a trace.

Chu Shengfan won this match again.

Above the clouds, although he firmly believed that his brother would win in the end, Chu Shengyuan's gaze finally relaxed after seeing the final result.

Seeing the final result, Jing Heng showed no surprise, only sighed slightly, "It's better to keep this medicine for now, and they will naturally take it obediently later."

His voice was extremely soft, and only the maids standing and serving him could hear it.

The battles on each arena gradually came to an end. From more than two hundred arenas at the beginning, only about sixty people remained in the end.

At the time, over a hundred students from Qianling Academy alone participated in this training, and the total number of other students was several thousand.

Countless talented young people from all over the dynasty were thus buried by this so-called trial.

Seeing that the trial was over, the royal children sitting in the middle of the clouds exchanged glances, then got up and disappeared.

Chu Shengyuan had been silently observing Prince Jingheng. He saw the prince glance lightly at the audience below, then slowly retreat, his figure disappearing into a crack. In an instant, the crack closed, and he vanished without a trace.

For some reason, Chu Shengyuan suddenly felt uneasy. The simultaneous disappearance of these people made it seem as if something was about to happen.

Chu Shengyuan suddenly looked down at the battle platform, as if he had realized something. It seemed that these selected students still had one last hurdle to overcome.

His gaze was fixed on his brother's direction as he conveyed his discovery, hoping he could respond promptly.

"Brother, those princes and nobles have all disappeared. You still have one last hurdle to overcome. They want to... they want to select someone from among you to refine into a corpse."

Upon seeing the message from Xiao Yuan, Chu Shengfan's expression remained unchanged. He had naturally anticipated this outcome, given the commotion the Jingyuan royal family had caused.

After going to great lengths to select a group of talented young people from all over the country, and using the rules to help them break through their cultivation levels, now that they have been properly trained, it is naturally time for the royal family to reap the rewards.

Moreover... He looked up towards the top of the clouds, towards the direction where Prince Jingheng had disappeared. That person was ready, just waiting for them to walk into the tiger's mouth that they had already opened.

"Congratulations to all of you for becoming the final winners of this academy training. Because the audience students' auras are unstable and their talent integration is incomplete, our royal family has specially arranged a spiritual pool for you to cultivate and stabilize yourselves."

Please cultivate your skills first, and then join our victory celebration.

Chu Shengfan glanced around and noticed that although the students on the surrounding battle stages were experiencing a surge in momentum, their auras were fluctuating.

The official's words at that moment were perfectly reasonable.

However, Chu Shengfan slightly curled the corners of his lips, and a clear, youthful voice came from his mouth.

"Thank you for your help, sir. However, I have not participated in many battles, nor have I absorbed the talents and fortunes of others, so there is no need for me to recuperate and rest."

The boy's words almost instantly drew the attention of everyone above the clouds, with some even nodding slightly in agreement that Chu Shengfan's words made sense.

Upon hearing this, the supervisor frowned slightly, not only wondering if Chu Shengfan's refusal was ungrateful, but also expressing impatience at the unexpected situation.

"You're joking. Not everyone is fortunate enough to enjoy the royal secret realm. I see that you are currently at the lower level of the Domain Rank. After you go in and come out, I guarantee you will be promoted to the middle level of the Domain Rank."

This one-way trip would save countless years of arduous study; this student should go in and experience it for himself, lest he fail the royal family's good intentions.

Spatial rifts opened from the center of the battle arena, and wisps of spiritual energy emanated from them, causing the energy on the battle arena to become more active.

Chu Shengfan naturally knew that if he didn't enter the spatial rift today, the elders watching from above the clouds would force him to enter.

I spoke just now merely to confirm something. As a student, I spoke softly to see how the royal family would react to allowing me into this rift.

Even if it were just to change the impression of the royal family among the noble families watching the ceremony, these officials were all quick-witted and didn't force them; on the contrary, every word they said was for your own good.

After thanking the students on the surrounding battle platforms one by one, they slowly walked into the crevice.

Chu Shengfan sighed inwardly and followed him inside.

The space within the rift was not the ethereal, misty paradise of spiritual energy that had been seen on the battle stage.

Instead, it was an unusually spacious, dark hall with no visible dome.

Every so often, towering pillars of black iron stood around the area, with thick, dark iron chains hanging down from them, making the place resemble some kind of hellish landscape.

Almost the instant Chu Shengfan entered, the spatial rift behind him closed instantly, and a figure with his back to him slowly turned around a few hundred meters in front of him.

It was none other than His Highness Jingheng.

Jing Heng wore a slight smile as his gaze swept over Chu Shengfan's body, scrutinizing him freely.

"I think this is our first meeting, but I believe it won't be the last. We will be together for all eternity."

Come, pay homage to the king you most revere in this life.
