Beiyuan Province.
Even at this time of year, the summer heat found elsewhere in the Dragon Nation was absent here.
In Beiyuan, Ice-type pet beasts were the majority, while Undead-type pet beasts occupied the outskirts. All of them possessed cold, yin energies, and their very breathing affected the temperature. Over time, this climate had long since become established.
At this moment, within the Legion in Beiyuan...
Master Leng stretched lazily, then calmly looked at the bewildered man before him and said with a smile:
"What's wrong? Anyone else would be over the moon after breaking through a major rank. Why do you look half-dead instead?
"Don't tell me you hadn't prepared resources for a breakthrough Spatial Trait for your Beast Taming Space? That can't be right. Doesn't Manjusaka have the ability to grant a Beast Tamer a Spatial Trait after a breakthrough?
"And an exceptionally rare special Spatial Trait combining Undead, Wood Element, and even some Poison-type properties-'Blooming Other Shore Flower'-at that?"
Su Anyong scratched his head, then nodded.
"Of course I'm happy. Emperor Tier, after all. A level the old man never managed to cross in his lifetime. But, Second Master, isn't something wrong here?
"Now that I've advanced, how am I supposed to lead those little bastards into the Heavenly Tomb? Didn't you say that the Heavenly Tomb over in Eagle Country only allowed Monarch Rank Beast Tamers inside? Now..."
Master Leng said calmly:
"You won't need to go. Someone else will lead the team into the Heavenly Tomb!"
"Huh?" Su Anyong froze, then frowned.
"But I was the one who trained those boys..."
After pondering briefly, he cautiously looked at Master Leng in the seat of honor before asking:
"Are the higher-ups unhappy that both my boy and I have gotten involved with the Heavenly Tomb Unit?"
