Ten days later.
Tang Yan was explaining martial arts to everyone at Dao Comprehension Cliff when a member of Wind-Chasing Hall ran over, handed him a letter, and reported respectfully, "Brother Yan, the gate guards sent word that they just received a letter marked for you to open personally.
"The guards didn't even notice how the letter got into their hands. The sender's strength is unfathomable!"
Tang Yan looked down and saw a line of elegant handwriting on the envelope: "To be opened by Tang Yan personally."
He opened the envelope. Inside was a note that read: Forest pool on the west side of Three Peaks Cliff. Ninth-tier spirit beast.
Although it was unsigned, Tang Yan had already guessed who had come.
He signaled the end of today's lesson, left Reach the Summit, and sped toward Three Peaks Cliff.
Half an hour later, Tang Yan arrived at Three Peaks Cliff.
He let out a long cry at the forest pool on the western side, and a figure in red appeared before him.
"Venerable, what did you find?" Tang Yan asked with a smile upon seeing Heavenly Enchantress.
Heavenly Enchantress beckoned, and a tightly bound spirit beast flew over from a distant tree, then slammed heavily onto the ground before Tang Yan.
Tang Yan looked closely. The creature was not particularly large, its body less than three feet long, but its two forearms were extraordinarily developed. Like two sharp blades, they measured a full four feet long and gleamed with a cold, eerie light!
Its entire body was the color of bluestone, and its shell looked somewhat rough.
Once Tang Yan got a clear look at the creature, his heart gave a violent jolt.
It was actually a ninth-tier spirit beast-an Earth Azure Lion!
This creature excelled at burrowing through earth,
