Apart from the Void species, Chen Xing was quite curious about other species as well.

The book was quite thick; he wouldn’t be able to finish it in a short time.

Chen Xing simply went out to have lunch, and then came back to continue reading.

Mainly because the books in the library were not allowed to be taken out, they could only be viewed within the library.

What Chen Xing was most interested in was the Dragon Clan.

On one hand, it was because of the Dragon Clan’s great fame, and on the other hand, it was because Dong Jun would soon be going to Dragon Mountain.

As a species almost equivalent to totems, the dragons in the Exotic Region had certain differences from the dragons in the myths of Great Xia.

The Dragon Clan active in the Exotic Region today are more like the giant dragons from Western mythology.

But aside from that, there were also some sub-dragons similar to “Jiaolong.”

Compared to the mere one-page existence of the Void species,

The Dragon Clan’s “calendar” was a good dozen pages long.

From the ancient era of the True Dragons to the disappearance of the Dragon Gods, and now to the current three-dragon standoff.

In here, Chen Xing saw a familiar term—Dragon Mountain.

Currently, the Dragon Clan could be roughly divided into three factions: Dragon Emperor Giant City, Dragon Mountain, and Calamity Dragon Sea.

Ever since the disappearance of the Dragon God, internal conflicts within the Giant Dragon species had become increasingly intense.

Due to differing beliefs, the Dragon Clan split into three forces.

Among them, Dragon Emperor Giant City encompassed all major Dragon Clans, ranking first among the current three major forces of the Dragon Clan.

Next was Dragon Mountain, the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan, where most of the rare Dragon species lived.

Because their numbers were scarce, these rare dragon species often were reluctant to interact with outsiders, but this did not affect Dragon Mountain’s status as a dominant power.

A smaller number also meant exceptional talent and a stronger upper limit.

Last was the Calamity Dragon Sea, which could be described as a gathering place for various wicked dragons.

…

After reading books the whole afternoon, Chen Xing reluctantly put the book back on the shelf.

This content was almost unseen in Great Xia.

But in this library, it was completely open for anyone to read.

Chen Xing decided to set aside half a day every day for the next half month to come here to read.

As for the rest of the time…

Feeding and training the Twin-fiend Dogs at the breeding farm also took at least four hours every day.

Then there was training Taotie and Sìxiàng, with the occasional need to guide Dong Jun.

School hadn’t even started, and Chen Xing felt like his time was already filling up.

After leaving the library,

Chen Xing wandered aimlessly and somehow suddenly arrived outside the Inheritance Tower.

A twelve-story tower, with a plaque hanging over the large gates.

Next to it stood a huge stele.

The rules were written on it.

There was an age limit for the Inheritance Tower; only Beast Tamers below twenty were allowed to enter.

Depending on the age, even if entering the same level, the difficulty varied.

Chen Xing calculated the time; he was still sixteen, and it would be exactly four days until he turned seventeen.

On the back of the stele was the record ranking of those who had challenged the tower. Chen Xing glanced over it and moved on.

If he went in now, it would be the lowest difficulty.

Challenging it in a few days would be the seventeen-year-old difficulty.

He would consider it an early birthday present to himself.

Chen Xing strode into the challenge tower.

His vision blurred for a moment.

The first challenge entity began to materialize in front of him.

Chen Xing didn’t even look, directly summoning Taotie.

“Oh?” Taotie felt like it might have accidentally stepped on something.

It looked up at its master with an innocent face.

Three stone pillars rose in the center area of the tower, each pillar topped with a glass dome covering an item.

The familiar choice of three.

Chen Xing glanced at them and noted that all three items were relatively common treasures.

The Attributes were all basic ones from the five elements.

Chen Xing chose a treasure with Water Attribute.

Then he decided to continue with the second challenge.

The scenery around him began to change.

A phantom condensed in front of him.

Taotie curiously watched the newly appeared little creature.

It lifted its right foot, and the moment the little creature condensed into form,

It stepped down with its foot.

A grin of triumphant mischief spread across its face.

This guy… had somehow picked up bad habits.

Now Chen Xing was convinced that the first time it stepped down, it was definitely on purpose.

The second round was over, and the reward items appeared.

Chen Xing glanced at them; once again, there were three treasures.

He chose a treasure with Wind Attribute.

He continued with the third challenge.

The third challenge was a creature of 28 Energy Level.

In front of Taotie, which had a body length exceeding 200 meters and a weight of 450,000 tons, with an Energy Level of 72,

Both the third and fourth challenges seemed so fragile.

Once, a Thunderbolt Giant Turtle had blocked Taotie at the fourth challenge.

Today, in Jiuzhou University, the fourth challenge’s 35 Energy Level Pengwing Bird was merely brushed aside with a single swipe of Taotie’s claw.

Watching the little creature trapped between its claws, Taotie tossed it into its mouth.

Chen Xing quickly stopped Taotie, “Don’t eat randomly; are you really hungry?”

“`

Taotie looked at its master with a wronged expression.

“Do I have to be scolded even for eating a bit of food?”

Chen Xing said earnestly, “The bigger you are, the more cautious you need to be about what you eat. Many monsters larger than you have died because they ate what they shouldn’t, and their stomachs burst!”

Upon hearing its master’s intimidating words, Taotie’s face darkened, and it whined incessantly.

“For small creatures like that, just crush them to death. There’s no need to eat them, you have the Vortex of Demise. You can grind them to dust in your mouth, but if you eat them and can’t digest them, what then?”

Taotie quickly nodded, indicating it would not eat things recklessly in the future.

Having said that, it crushed the bird lodged between its claws to death.

“Alright, let me choose the reward for the fourth challenge first.”

Chen Xing walked forward, “Huh.”

There was something good in the fourth challenge reward.

It’s another egg!

Could it be that I’m fated with eggs this year?

[Species]Blazing Bull, Green King Python

[State]Healthy

This name… sounds familiar.

The steak Taotie ate was of this brand… no, species.

Blazing Bull steak, I remember having fifty servings.

Who would have thought that now an egg of a Blazing Bull would appear.

But the next second, Chen Xing fell into deep thought.

It was his first time in his life to hear of a bull being hatched from an egg.

Can bulls and pythons really crossbreed?

Did the bull step out, or did the python have an affair?

The other two rewards were ordinary materials, and after some thought, Chen Xing chose the egg that transcended species in romance.

The fifth challenge was a Sword-Head White Iris of energy level forty-two.

A plant-type monster.

The graceful iris flung countless afterimages like a torrential rain slashing towards Taotie.

Its nimble body dodged the three consecutive stomps from Taotie and managed to grind off nearly a month’s worth of Taotie’s nail growth.

In the end, it was smashed to bits by Taotie’s giant tail, which could match a wall in its striking surface.

Chen Xing commented, “Once you get a bit bigger, you can rename your tail sweep to ‘Moving Hills’.”

Taotie didn’t seem to care about that.

For the fifth challenge’s prize, Chen Xing selected a thunder attribute material that looked like a clump of roots entwined with blue thunderbolts.

Chen Xing was preparing for the Sìxiàng’s evolution, which had four attributes.

Different attributes of materials indicate different evolutionary paths and methods.

After evolution, the original attribute might disappear.

To ensure all attributes are retained, one must find a material that gathers all four corresponding attributes.

Otherwise, it’s up to luck.

Considering the current skill set of the Sìxiàng, the thunder attribute is definitely to be preserved.

It’s also its main evolutionary path at the moment.

The sixth challenge was an Iron Wall Rock Rhino of energy level fifty.

Chen Xing felt that this Iron Wall Rock Rhino was quite similar to the one he encountered during the high school cup.

Back then, Taotie needed to go all out to defeat such an opponent. Now…

“Ao?”

Taotie pressed a claw on the top of the Iron Wall Rock Rhino’s head.

Watching the little thing that kept charging at him in anger, a hint of amusement flashed in its eyes.

With a light flick of its claw, the Iron Wall Rock Rhino rolled several times to the side, taking a good while to recover.

It was not until this moment that Chen Xing truly felt Taotie’s progress.

Although Taotie was able to defeat the Iron Wall Rock Rhino back then, it definitely couldn’t do it as effortlessly as it did now.

Time and again, its claws overturned the Iron Wall Rock Rhino as it tried to get up.

This scene reminded Chen Xing of his childhood, watching a kid in the park using a stick to flip a beetle onto its back.

They were not even in the same league.

“Alright, let’s not play anymore, straight to the next one.”

As soon as Chen Xing’s words fell, Taotie struck down hard with its claw.

The Iron Wall Rock Rhino’s muscles burst layer by layer, blood gushing out like a smashed tomato, and under this mighty claw, its body burst open helplessly.

In the sixth challenge’s prize, there was actually a bag of Ancient Spirit Gold.

Chen Xing chose the Ancient Spirit Gold.

The opponent for the seventh challenge slowly appeared.

A burst of purple electric arcs exploded in the air.

It appeared hundreds of meters away in less than two seconds.

Chen Xing also clearly saw the appearance of his opponent this time.

A Thunderhorn Pegasus of energy level fifty-eight.

According to this rate, with the seventh challenge at energy level fifty-eight, there were still five challenges left.

The opponent in the final challenge should be a monster of around ninety energy levels.

This difficulty…

To expect a new Beast Tamer who hasn’t trained beasts for even a year, to defeat a monster of around ninety energy levels in the first year of training beasts.

This Inheritance Tower is simply too ridiculous.

Are those Beast Tamers from the Exotic Region all so intense?

Lucky for them to have met me, a powerhouse. If it were someone else, they might not even be able to pass it.

I wonder if anyone has managed to pass all twelve challenges.

While thinking, Chen Xing had Taotie perform a Heavy Armored Stomp.

In an instant, the whole venue shook violently.

The Thunderhorn Pegasus tragically found there was nowhere to hide.

The entire venue was covered by the skill!
