Let's Choose This One

Xiao Jiao'er led the group to the second floor of the Iron Halberd Tower.

The layout of the second floor was clearly far more spacious than the ground level. There were not nearly as many rows of pillar platforms, but numerous coffin-like boxes had been carved into the walls on both sides. Within them, dazzling crystal spheres were arranged through a more direct form of connecting formation.

In terms of the number of ferocious beasts imprisoned, it was not much fewer than on the first floor.

Xiao Jiao'er's voice slowly rang out again, carrying a hint of warning. "You all heard what Qi Xiaoren said just now. He chose a Thunder Flame Fire Lion. I remember his Second Uncle captured it over half a year ago. Its strength should be around the middle-to-late stages of the Earth Grade. I needn't explain any further how you should choose the ferocious beast you intend to tame, should I?"

The implication was clear: the beast Tang Yuan chose could not be inferior to the Thunder Flame Fire Lion.

After all, this concerned the beast-riding contest afterward. If the chosen beast was too weak, then even if it was tamed by sheer luck, it would have no right to contend against the Thunder Flame Fire Lion.

Tang Yuan wore a wry smile. "Then we can't go to that eastern section anymore?"

Xiao Jiao'er nodded. "The ferocious beasts there are all in the early-to-middle stages of the Earth Grade. I originally thought that, since you're a beginner, choosing one of those would be more than enough. But judging by Qi Xiaoren's hostility just now, if you stubbornly choose one of those, he'll probably come looking for trouble later."

Tang Yuan looked at Xiao Jiao'er teasingly. "Are you thinking of your brother's sake?"

"Ugh—" Xiao Jiao'er
