Chapter 39: High Grade Evaluation
Fang Yuan was hunting with his wolves until he received a letter from Hei Lou Lan urging him to return.
After receiving the letter Fang Yuan immediately returned.
"I will need to rely on Wolf King's strength this time." Hei Lou Lan saw Fang Yuan and laughed.
After Wolf King returned, Hei Lou Lan quickly organised the group again.
The gang got to the building, as Hei Lou Lan handed Fang Yuan an ancient token: "This is the guest token. Wolf King does not have Huang Jin bloodline, you are an outsider in the building's perspective. To enter it, you will need a guest token each time."
Fang Yuan received the token and laughed lightly without any concern, saying: "I can't wait to witness the splendor of True Yang Building!"
Fang Yuan followed suit, as the guest token shone in his hand, he imitated Hei Lou Lan and entered True Yang Building as well.
Fang Yuan felt his body stiffen as a strong sense of pressure assaulted him as he entered the building.
But soon after, the pressure lifted.
He had entered True Yang Building completely, there was a lake in front of him.
The guest token in his hand turned into a puddle of cold molten iron, flowing down the gaps between his fingers.
Fang Yuan shook off the liquid from his hand, until they were all gone.
He looked around, finding himself on an island at the center of the lake. There was someone beside him, it was Hei Lou Lan.
"This is the 54th round." Hei Lou Lan did not look at Fang Yuan, instead facing forward: "Look, that is the problem brother Shan Yin has to deal with."
Fang Yuan looked at the same direction, and saw that not far away, there was another island.
On the island, there was a group of water snake lions.
Without Hei Lou Lan's introduction, a barrage of information from a mystical source entered Fang Yuan's brain at the same time —
"Use the hedgehog fish on the island and break past the water snake lions' defense, occupy the island over there."
"In my opinion, this round is extremely unfair. The water snake lions are very strong, one of them can compete against five or six hedgehog fish. But the number of hedgehog fish we have here is only about twice of the water snake lions." A Hei tribe elder looked at the island ahead as he explained the situation to Fang Yuan.
"No need to worry brother Shan Yin, we are here today for practice." Hei Lou Lan patted Fang Yuan's shoulders.
Fang Yuan nodded at Hei Lou Lan, indicating for him to start.
Hei Lou Lan took out a token and waved it at the sky.
This token was different from the guest token, it was the the owner token. When Hei Lou Lan first entered Imperial Court blessed land, this token appeared before him, signifying his prestigious status.
The owner token vibrated, as ripples formed in the air, dozens of fish enslavement Gu appeared, of rank one, two, and three.
When Fang Yuan received these Gu worms, he easily refined them, the other people were immobilized by an invisible gentle force, no one could assist him.
Only Hei Lou Lan could still speak, he advised: "Brother Shan Yin, mind the time. You have only fifteen minutes."
Fang Yuan nodded, and waved his hand, as the fish enslavement Gu in his hand flew out with dozens of mystical lights.
If it was Hei Qi Sheng, he would need to enslave them one by one, being extremely careful. When using enslavement Gu, the Gu Master would definitely face the resistance of the fish group. If they were careless, the enslavement would fail. If it was severe, the Gu Master would suffer some backlash on his soul.
"Was Wolf King too overconfident?"
"I've never seen such an enslavement method before!"
"He's in troub…"
Everyone's heart was pounding.
But immediately after, they stared with huge eyes as the fish group swam away towards the island immediately after the enslavement. It was as if they belonged to Fang Yuan from the start, not a single enslavement failed.
Fang Yuan was standing upright, his arms behind his back as he did not waver at all. The enslavement attainment as well as foundation of the soul he displayed made almost everyone praise him in secret.
"Oh heaven, he did it!"
"Just this alone was an eye opener."
"Wolf King is an enslavement master indeed, he is different from ordinary people."
"A master is a master, maybe he can succeed this time, who knows."
Everyone's eyes began to show a look of anticipation. Even Hei Lou Lan was looking with a hopeful expression.
But the fish group did not attack the water snake lion group like they wished, instead they were swimming around the area, surveilling the place.
"This… what is Wolf King thinking?"
"Wolf King is being careful, it seems he is trying to get familiar with the fish's habits!"
But as time passed, the fish continued to swim. Everyone did not get to see the fight between fish and lion as they wished.
By now, even Hei Lou Lan was a bit anxious, he urged: "Brother Shan Yin, there isn't much time left."
"No rush." Fang Yuan was calm as he replied casually.
The water snake lions saw that the fish group did not attack, some of the water snake fish crawled out of the water, onto the island. The strong defense around the island weakened.
After a moment, Hei Lou Lan urged again:" Brother Shan Yin, half the time has already passed!"
"No rush." Fang Yuan waved his hand, his eyelids drooping, as if he was very sleepy.
Even more water snake lions went onshore. The old lion king even sprawled on the ground, shutting its eyes in slumber.
Everyone was greatly disappointed, they were cursing in their minds.
Just as everyone were thinking about random things, Fang Yuan suddenly laughed, manipulating the fish group to charge, attacking the water snake lion group from all directions.
"As expected!" Hei Lou Lan's eyes shone with brilliance.
He had guessed in his heart already: "Chang Shan Yin wants to save his efforts for the next attempt, then this time, he would definitely familiarise himself with the fish group and their attacking pattern. He would also need to probe the strength of the lion group!"
The fish group's sudden attack caught the water snake lion group off guard.
"So that's it! Chang Shan Yin was training the fish group earlier while making the lion group let their guard down."
"This attack has already taken down thirty percent of the lion group, as expected of master level!"
"What breathtaking beast enslavement attainment, Hei Qi Sheng is like a baby compared to Chang Shan Yin."
Everyone stared intently, shocked by Fang Yuan's amazing talent.
Howl!
Seeing that its subjects were being slaughtered, the old lion king roared, leading the lion group into the water to take revenge on the hedgehog fish.
But what was peculiar was that Fang Yuan stopped his powerful assault, and under his manipulation, the fish group retreated.
The lion group chased after him, but at when they got to one area, the group fell into chaos.
"What happened?" Everyone was perplexed.
"So there was a hidden whirlpool here!" Hei Lou Lan mumbled.
Immediately after, the elders' eyes shone: "I get it! Wolf King was making the fish scout the area, it was not just to train them, he also wanted to investigate the terrain!"
"That's right! When beast groups fight, it is like war between two armies. Not only would they need to consider both of the armies, they also need to care about the terrain." Many Gu Masters saw this and almost wanted to pat their legs and scream.
The fish group gathered and spread at will, attacking fiercely. At times they scattered, causing the lions' attacks to miss.
"He has them dancing in the palm of his hands!"
"Amazing, incredible!! In just a dozen breaths' time, Wolf King became victorious!"
"We got through, we got through!"
Hei tribesmen were shocked and exhilarated, their gaze towards Fang Yuan revealed admiration, amazement, and fear etc.
"Good, what a great Wolf King!" Hei Lou Lan laughed as he clapped.
Fang Yuan also laughed heartily, because when he finished killing the lion group, an information went into his head — high grade evaluation!
The next moment, Fang Yuan vanished on the spot.
"What happened?" Hei tribesmen were shocked at this, their eyeballs also fell out.
"He got a high grade evaluation!!" Only Hei Lou Lan was shouting in his heart.
