A huge, glowing cross blasted toward several tongue-flicking snake phantom beasts.

Meanwhile, Shadow Gamma transformed into a black streak and attacked a few other Blade-Tooth Mud Snakes.

The next moment!

Crack, crack, crack!

Rumble!

More than a dozen Blade-Tooth Mud Snakes all collapsed.

We'll have snake soup tonight!

Chen Xuan smiled and found a container to pack up the Blade-Tooth Mud Snakes.

The flesh and blood of phantom beasts contained massive amounts of nutrition.

Beastmasters could consume them to increase their beast mastery power.

Beast mastery power!

That was a beastmaster's ability to command phantom beasts.

Beastmasters were just like phantom beasts.

Their ranks were divided from Black Iron, Bronze, Silver... all the way to Divine.

Generally, beastmasters could only command phantom beasts of a lower rank than themselves.

Once commanding a phantom beast of a higher rank than themselves, the phantom beast might end up ignoring commands.

This was extremely fatal.

Once the phantom beast failed to obey the beastmaster's commands during battle.

It could easily trigger life-threatening danger.

"Hmm-hmm-hm."

Humming an old pop song,

Chen Xuan walked toward his home with his phantom beast.

Soon!

Chen Xuan returned to Holy Dragon Village.

People came and went in the village.

Going back and forth to farm.

It was a picture of an idyllic paradise.

And indeed it was.

This Holy Dragon Village was cut off from the outside world.

The villagers were all ordinary farming folk.

They simply had no ability to go outside.

What they ate and where they lived in the village was basically self-sufficient!

Only once a month would travelers go outside and bring back some clothing.

"Big Brother Chen, you're back?"

"Did you go catch phantom beasts again?"

Chen Xuan had just walked home!

A young girl of about twenty looked at Chen Xuan curiously with a smile.

Her name was Gu Li.

Previously, her face had been cursed by a strange phantom beast.

She had always worn a veil.

Only a few months ago, it had suddenly and inexplicably healed.

The girl's personality had also grown cheerful.

And from that day on, everyone also learned that the Holy Dragon Dojo had reopened.

As the final master, Chen Xuan once again subdued phantom beasts.

Other children in the village would also be sent here in their free time to learn about phantom beasts from Chen Xuan.

"Yeah, just went out!"

"It's this little guy!"

A flash of light swept past.

A tiny fairy timidly grabbed the hem of Chen Xuan's pants, looking at Gu Li before her.

"Wow, so cute!"

Girls all liked relatively cute things.

Seeing the Harvest Fairy's appearance,

Gu Li cried out in excitement.

However, when she wanted to go over and hug the Harvest Fairy,

she met with massive resistance.

"Such a stingy little thing!"

It made Gu Li pout in anger.

"Well, is something the matter?"

Seeing the Harvest Fairy's timidity and Gu Li's angry look,

Chen Xuan merely smiled.

He said nothing.

"Right, I came over this time to find out about that..."

Although Gu Li had lived in the village all her life,

she also yearned deeply for phantom beasts.

Therefore, she would sometimes come to Chen Xuan to learn about phantom beasts.

Ever since her face had suddenly healed last time,

she no longer harbored any shadows of fear toward phantom beasts.

Instead, she was filled with curiosity about those phantom beasts.

She held an incomparable yearning for mysterious things.

"That's right, Big Brother Chen, do you think the Holy Dragon manifested a miracle last time?"

"I heard there used to be a Holy Dragon in our village, which is why our village is named this!"

Gu Li recalled the legends of the village from the past!

"Right, rumor has it that back then, the Holy Dragon was actually the phantom beast of this dojo's master!"

"Haha, maybe that Holy Dragon is still hidden right here in your Holy Dragon Dojo!"

Gu Li said jokingly.

"Yeah, it's possible, how else would you explain what those villagers saw!"

Hearing Gu Li's words, Chen Xuan also smiled.

When the Holy Dragon hatched last time,

all sorts of speculations circulated in the village, all claiming the Holy Dragon had manifested a miracle.

Of course!

They hadn't turned their attention to Chen Xuan of the Holy Dragon Dojo.

So many years had passed, and everyone had long forgotten what the Holy Dragon looked like.

How could they ever imagine that the tiny figure by Chen Xuan's side was the Divine Dragon itself!

"Hahaha, I'm just joking. Thanks for the guidance, Big Brother Chen. I should go back to eat, I'll come again when I'm free!"

"Bye-bye!"

"Yeah, bye-bye!"

Bidding farewell to Gu Li,

Chen Xuan walked into the courtyard at the back of the Holy Dragon Dojo.
