Once they encountered an enemy, their combat power was anything but weak.
Their strength was nothing like their temper, which was so gentle.
Once, a Forest Giant Rhino in a zoo where it was kept was enraged.
At the time, that Forest Giant Rhino broke through the railings, causing hundreds of casualties.
In the end, it took a high-tier Gold Rank Beast Master to subdue the Forest Giant Rhino.
"Not good, dodge quickly!"
Only then did the teacher react.
Several Forest Giant Rhinos charged toward them.
He hurriedly ordered the students to evade.
Rumble!
After the billowing clouds of dust settled,
the students and teacher finally patted their chests, still shaken.
Adult Forest Giant Rhinos had all reached Gold Rank.
Their strength was boundless.
This group of them consisted of nothing more than Silver Rank Beast Masters.
There was simply no way they could deal with those Phantom Beasts.
"Teacher, look! What's that?"
Suddenly, one of the students pointed ahead in terror, trembling.
Not far away!
One enormous body after another lay there, covered in blood.
"Hiss!"
Once they saw those Phantom Beasts clearly,
everyone could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
"Forest Giant Rhinos!"
"They're all Forest Giant Rhinos!"
"What on earth slaughtered them?"
The teacher was horrified!
There were probably sixty or seventy fallen Forest Giant Rhinos in this group.
The bloody scene looked as though it had come straight from hell.
"The expedition is terminated. We must return immediately!"
"This area is far too dangerous!"
"There may be a Platinum Rank Phantom Beast here!"
"We're leaving at once, or our lives will be in danger!"
The teacher immediately shouted sternly.
Although he had already reached Gold Tier 5,
he considered himself no match for this many Forest Giant Rhinos.
At most, he could deal with around ten Forest Giant Rhinos.
As for that mysterious Phantom Beast that had probably reached Platinum Rank,
he did not even have the courage to fight it.
"How terrifying. Could it have been caused by that Dragon-Type Phantom Beast from earlier?"
"It's possible!"
Everyone was horrified, their faces deathly pale.
"This mountain range is too mysterious. Who would have thought we'd encounter such powerful Phantom Beasts before even venturing deep into it?"
"One day, I'll definitely improve my strength and come back to explore this place!"
With a trace of fear and a sigh,
the teacher led the students away.
"Rumor has it that a Rock Giant was discovered in the Giant Stone Mountains. Acquisition difficulty: extremely difficult. Proceed?"
After returning to the Holy Dragon Dojo,
the system's prompts came one after another.
"Rock Giants reach at least Platinum Rank in adulthood, and judging by the location of the Giant Stone Mountains, it's clearly too far from here!"
"Looks like I'd better give up."
Looking at the location marked by the system, Chen Xuan shook his head.
He abandoned the idea of going to subdue the Rock Giant.
Chapter Thirteen: Five-Colored Lotus Seeds and the Strange Happenings in the Village
Every day, Chen Xuan continued relying on the system's rumors to bring back quite a few resources.
Another day passed.
Chen Xuan's Beast Mastery Power had already reached Gold Ninth-Order.
His several Phantom Beasts had also undergone training and reached Gold Tier 5.
"My Phantom Beasts' bloodline grades are all fairly high, aside from the Shapeshifting Tanuki!"
"The higher their tier, the more difficult it is to advance. Relying on these Purple Pearl Fruits for cultivation, it'll probably be difficult to raise them above Platinum Rank."
"Looks like I need to get my hands on Spirit Herbs and Fruits of an even higher grade!"
Watching the several Phantom Beasts playing in his backyard,
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
"Rumor has it that Five-Colored Lotus Seeds in the center of Greenbright Lake are about to mature. Countless Phantom Beasts have already flocked there after hearing the news. Acquisition difficulty: difficult. Proceed immediately?"
"Five-Colored Lotus Seeds!"
"Aren't those fifth-tier Spirit Fruits? Perfect!"
Upon hearing the system's rumor,
Chen Xuan was overjoyed!
Then, when he looked at the coordinates provided by the system, his eyes lit up.
Although Greenbright Lake was some distance away,
the system marked most of the Phantom Beasts in the surrounding area as between Gold Rank and Platinum Tier 3.
Only a small number exceeded that level.
To Chen Xuan, his Phantom Beasts—the Holy Light Dragon, Obsidian Shadow Gamma, and Armored Dragon—were all powerful creatures with King-Grade or higher bloodlines.
Although they were only Gold Tier 5,
they would have absolutely no problem fighting Platinum Rank Phantom Beasts.
"If I can bring some back to plant, that would be even better!"
Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
He immediately prepared various tools, Spirit Herbs, Spirit Fruits, and other items.
Then he set off in a great flurry.
"General Wei Wu, guard the house properly!"
Before leaving, Chen Xuan spoke to a suit of armor.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words,
a pair of dim, purple eyes lit up within the armor riddled with holes.
"Yes, my master!"
General Wei Wu was a Ghost-Type Phantom Beast that Chen Xuan had subdued in the General's Graveyard not long before.
Because he looked like a suit of armor, Chen Xuan usually ordered him to guard the house.
Those who did not know the truth simply assumed that Chen Xuan owned the suit of armor as a collection.
Besides this Phantom Beast,
Chen Xuan had also subdued many other Phantom Beasts with various functional abilities.
