Beastmaster King-Chapter 235 - Exclusive Secret Realm

After the Kung Fu Panda knock-off of a guardian appeared, it looked around at the first-generation beastmasters gathered in the lobby.

"There are quite a few powerful people here."

It can talk!

It could talk, just like Dark Crow and Manager Ying, but its accent was a bit unique.

"Guardian."

President Youxiong and Youxiong Anlin quickly greeted the Guardian Panda respectfully. Several other beastmasters also stood up to show their respects.

It was a level 68 Superior-Overlord species, and level 68 was indeed worthy of such reverence.

"Hey, didn't we agree to talk to these people tomorrow? I'm too lazy, so one of you guys go deal with this."

The giant panda pulled up a chair and laid down on it, looking extremely lazy.

Seeing this, the girl next to it shook her head helplessly and looked at Youxiong Jiyuan.

"Uncle, why don’t you address everyone?"

The president of Living Fossil also looked helpless as he addressed the first-generation beastmasters.

"Everyone, this is the guardian of our Youxiong clan worshipped since ancient times. Its power is self-evident! It is absolutely worthy of being the guardian of Xia! We spread the news not only to let various forces directly witness its power but also to share some important information. Everyone here is a leader in Xia’s beastmaster community, so I will get straight to the point.

"Limitless City may not have only appeared three years ago. It may have already existed for thousands of years, and didn’t just open for the first time a couple of years ago. It had created groups of beastmasters as early as the Totem Tribe Era thousands of years ago. However, it was only open for a brief period of time before it closed again."

After President Youxiong finished speaking, the crowd was stunned, brimming with questions. To prevent widespread panic, the International Beastmasters Alliance had announced that Limitless City was accidentally opened three years ago when a mechanism was triggered in an ancient ruin.

Everyone present knew that all of that was speculation and there was evidence to back it up. This was why new discoveries pertaining to Limitless City weren’t usually surprising.

"President Youxiong, what makes you so sure of this? Did the guardian tell you?" Gu Qingyi questioned.

"Words are one thing, but we have concrete evidence that secret realms have existed since ages ago! Everyone here should be aware of the Other Shore, correct?"

When the Other Shore was mentioned, Gu Qingyi, Lu Ran, and Manager Ying all narrowed their eyes.

"The Other Shore has a skill card called Undeath Resurrection, but there are no known sources for it in Limitless City or Blue Planet. It’s not likely that they’re looting them from secret realms, since those rewards are randomized and partially dependent on certain conditions. So how are they able to find a consistent supply of the skill card? Many countries have been trying to find an answer to this question.

"Today, I shall give everyone the answer to this mystery. The truth is that there are secret realms outside of Limitless City right here on Blue Planet. These secret realms also provide decent rewards.”

"What?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Could this be true?

"Hey, hey, hey." Lu Ran elbowed Manager Ying. "Both of you are ancient creatures, but why does it know so much while you don't know anything?"

Manager Ying glared back at Lu Ran.

This news was inevitably shocking, but Lu Ran was especially surprised to find out where the Other Shore’s supply of skill cards came from. He exhaled.

Was there a secret realm entrance somewhere on Blue Star? Was this an update from Limitless City?

"There are very few secret realms on Blue Star. More importantly, you need a key rather than crystal coins to enter. As long as you have the key to open the secret realm, you can challenge it an infinite number of times to farm resources such as skill cards and trait crystals.

"That’s why I believe that Limitless City has existed since the distant past," President Youxiong continued.

"When it opened back in ancient times, Limitless City transformed Blue Planet and left some special secret realms behind. I suspect that the Other Shore monopolized one of these secret realms to secure a steady supply of unique resources. I’m confident on the subject because our Youxiong clan actually has access to such a secret realm, and our guardian beast holds the key.

"Inside the secret realm, there are two special resources that can be farmed continuously—the Armor skill and Super Hibernation trait. The Armor skill can help a familiar form powerful armor regardless of attribute to significantly bolster its defense. The Super Hibernation trait, on the other hand, allows the familiar to enter a special state of hibernation to rapidly recover stamina. These can be counted as the special resources of our Youxiong clan’s secret realm."

After President Youxiong finished speaking, there was another moment of silence as everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that in such a small historic town, they would learn information that could shock the entire archaeological community.

"It’s a damn monopoly," Pig God grumbled.

"No, not at all. I announced this because I want to share the secret realm so that everyone can challenge it together. In time, it will be open to all Xia beastmasters," Youxiong Jiyuan smiled.

Huh? Do you think we are idiots? With access to an exclusive secret realm, most people will do everything they can to keep it a secret, but they want to share it? Why don’t we also ask the Other Shore to see if they’re in a sharing mood too?

"To be completely honest, the secret realm also produces bamboo resources, which is our guardian’s favorite food. Our Youxiong clan has tried to clear the secret realm, but even though we can gather food, it’s only in insufficient quantities. So we can only open it up to the public to ask for everyone’s help and take a cut from everyone’s rewards. This is one of the main reasons why we spread the news and gathered everyone."

"..."

"That’s correct," the guardian beast grumbled. "The current Youxiong clan is so weak. Just relying on them, I’ll never be able to enjoy any high-level bamboo."

Youxiong Jiyuan and others showed looks of embarrassment. They would love to monopolize the secret realm if they could, but they couldn’t keep up with their guardian’s appetite. After talking it over with their guardian, they could only publicize the secret realm to allow others to challenge it. This was the only way for them to gather large amounts of resources.

"So that's how it is. I wonder what the secret realm is like," Wu Ma of the Twelve Zodiacs wondered. He was tall with a unique appearance. He was most likely from an ethnic minority. [1]

"It is neither dangerous nor difficult. There is no level limit either. Literally anyone can challenge it. The secret realm will initially adjust to the level of the beastmaster. Once the secret realm has been cleared, stronger enemies will appear.

"In other words, it tests the combat potential of the beastmaster. The stronger the combat ability, the better the score, which comes with its corresponding rewards."

"As an example, my nephew Youxiong Anlin, although he is only a level 2 beastmaster right now, has a higher score than my uncle. In fact, he holds the highest score for the secret realm."

The guardian suddenly interjected. "Stop mentioning him. His familiar was almost crippled. He was lucky that I helped boost its potential. He’s now undefeatable amongst his peers, but he isn’t enough by himself. I need more food."

It touched its stomach. It had woken up extremely weak. Other foods didn’t suit its taste, and the nutritional value was also too low. The resources gathered from the secret realm were a lot better.

The expressions of many first-generation beastmasters shifted when they heard the guardian beast.

Youxiong Anlin is undefeatable?

Everyone glanced at Lu Ran, who was eating sunflower seeds.

Doesn't the Guardian Panda know there is a super freak in Xia?

In the freshman competition, geniuses like Youxiong Anlin and Du Yuan didn't even have the courage to fight Lu Ran, and flat out surrendered.

Although Youxiong Anlin seemed to have received a lot of benefits from the guardian beast, everyone couldn't imagine what kind of benefits would allow Youxiong Anlin to defeat Lu Ran, who had an Overlord Dragon, while they were at the same level.

Youxiong Anlin was also embarrassed listening to the guardian beast brag about him.

Ahem.

"Master Guardian Beast, there is always someone greater. Under your guidance, I will definitely become the strongest someday in the future, but right now, there are still many people above me."

"How is this possible?" The Guardian Panda was shocked. "Who is it?"

By now, the guardian beast also felt the crowd’s gaze focus on Lu Ran.

"We can test that theory out later," Lu Ran said as he put down his sunflower seeds.

Lu Ran's brain was too busy brainstorming.

The situation in ancient times seemed to be quite complicated.

Lu Ran also saw that the guardian beast of the Youxiong clan was very powerful, but it wasn’t powerful enough. Compared to the Divine Deer, there should still be a big gap. Even the Flame Dragon King wasn’t on the same level as the Divine Deer, let alone a level 68 panda.

If even the Youxiong clan had an exclusive secret realm, then did that mean that back in the day Lu Village also had an exclusive secret realm?

"Is he very powerful? More powerful than little Lin that I personally trained?" the guardian beast asked as it looked at Lu Ran unexpectedly.

"Very strong," President Youxiong confirmed.

"Really?"

The guardian beast still had some doubts as it looked at Youxiong Anlin with disdain.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you still not the strongest among your peers after accepting my tutelage?"

"What the fuck?"

"Fight him, and if you lose, then I’ll train someone else."

Huh?

"Ah?"

Lu Ran also came back to his senses and looked at Youxiong Anlin with pity. frёeωebɳovel.com
