Picking Up a Holy Dragon Egg at the Start

Once they encountered an enemy, their combat strength was far from weak.

Their power was not as gentle as their temperament.

Once, in a zoo, a captive Forest Giant Rhino was provoked.

That Forest Giant Rhino smashed through the railings, causing hundreds of casualties.

In the end, a high-level Gold Rank Beast Master had to step in to subdue that Forest Giant Rhino.

"Not good, dodge quickly!"

The teacher finally reacted.

Some Forest Giant Rhinos were charging toward them.

He hurriedly directed the students to take cover.

Rumble!

After a rolling cloud of dust settled.

The students and teacher only then patted their chests in lingering fear.

Adult Forest Giant Rhinos all reached Gold Rank.

They possessed immense strength.

This group was nothing but Silver Rank Beast Masters.

There was no way they could deal with those Phantom Beasts.

"Teacher, look, what's that!"

Suddenly, a student pointed ahead in terror, trembling.

Not far away!

Huge bodies, drenched in blood, lay collapsed on the ground.

"Hiss!"

After recognizing those Phantom Beasts.

Everyone couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.

"Forest Giant Rhinos!"

"Those are all Forest Giant Rhinos!"

"What on earth slaughtered them!"

The teacher was horrified.

This group of fallen Forest Giant Rhinos numbered at least sixty or seventy.

The bloody scene was like something out of hell.

"The activity is over, we must return immediately!"

"This area is too dangerous!"

"A Platinum Rank Phantom Beast might have appeared here!"

"We need to leave now, or our lives will be in danger!"

The teacher shouted sternly.

Although he had already reached the Gold Fifth-Order rank.

Facing so many Forest Giant Rhinos, he knew he was no match.

At best, he could handle about ten Forest Giant Rhinos on his own.

As for that mysterious Phantom Beast that might have reached Platinum Rank.

He didn't even have the courage to fight it.

"How terrifying—could it have been caused by that dragon-type Phantom Beast from earlier?"

"Possibly!"

Everyone was horrified, their faces pale.

"This mountain range is too mysterious. Who would've thought we'd encounter such a powerful Phantom Beast before even going deep into it!"

"One day, I'll definitely raise my strength and come back to explore this place!"

With a mix of fear and regret.

The teacher led the students away from there.

"Rumor has it that a Rock Giant has been discovered in the Giant Stone Mountains. Difficulty of acquisition: very high. Proceed or not?"

Back at the Holy Dragon Dojo.

The system's prompts kept coming in.

"Rock Giant—at minimum, it reaches Platinum Rank in adulthood, and looking at the Giant Stone Mountains region, it's clearly far too distant from here!"

"Looks like I'll have to give up."

Staring at the location marked by the system, Chen Xuan shook his head.

He abandoned the idea of taming the Rock Giant.

Chapter 13: Five-Colored Lotus Seeds and the Anomaly in the Village

Every day, Chen Xuan relied on the system's rumors to gather quite a bit of resources.

Another day had passed.

Chen Xuan's Beast Mastery Power had already reached Gold Ninth-Order.

As for his Phantom Beasts, after training, they had reached Gold Fifth-Order.

"Aside from the Shapeshifting Tanuki, my Phantom Beasts all have fairly high bloodline ranks!"

"Raising their levels is even harder. Relying on these Purple Pearl Fruits for cultivation—it'll be tough to push them above Platinum Rank."

"Looks like I'll need to get my hands on higher-grade Spirit Herbs and Fruits."

Watching his Phantom Beasts play in the backyard, Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

"Rumor has it that at the center of Greenbright Lake, Five-Colored Lotus Seeds are about to ripen. Countless Phantom Beasts have already caught wind and headed there. Difficulty of acquisition: Hard. Proceed immediately or not?!"

"Five-Colored Lotus Seeds!"

"Isn't that a fifth-grade spirit fruit? Perfect timing!"

Hearing the system's rumor, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

Then, looking at the coordinates provided by the system, his eyes lit up.

Greenbright Lake was a fair distance away, but the Phantom Beasts in the surrounding area were mostly marked by the system as Gold Rank to Platinum Tier 3.

Only a few exceeded that level.

For Chen Xuan, his Phantom Beasts—the Holy Light Dragon, Obsidian Shadow Gamma, and Armored Dragon—were all powerful beasts with bloodlines above King-Grade.

Though they were only at Gold Fifth-Order, fighting Platinum Rank Phantom Beasts was absolutely no problem.

"If I could bring some back to plant, that would be even better!"

Chen Xuan was ecstatic.

He immediately prepared various tools, spirit herbs, and spirit fruits.

Then, with great urgency, he set off.

"General Wei Wu, guard the house well!"

Before leaving, Chen Xuan said to a suit of armor.

At Chen Xuan's words, a pair of dim purple pupils lit up inside the armor, which was full of holes.

"As you wish, my master!"

General Wei Wu was a Ghost-Type Phantom Beast Chen Xuan had recently tamed at the General's Graveyard.

Since it looked just like a set of armor, Chen Xuan usually ordered it to guard the house.

Anyone unaware would simply think it was a suit of armor in Chen Xuan's collection.

Besides this Phantom Beast, Chen Xuan had also tamed many other functional-type Phantom Beasts.
