The rare Thunderhorn Pegasus finally steadied itself.

But the next second, a huge shadow loomed over it.

With a snap, the Thunderhorn Pegasus burst into a mess of flesh and slowly vanished on the spot.

The reward for the seventh level was considerably better.

A Dark Attribute treasure material, a credit card worth 3,000 Academic Credits, and an Advanced Skill Orb.

Inside the Advanced Skill Orb was a skill of the Light Attribute—Heaven’s Gate.

It was actually this skill.

Chen Xing was somewhat surprised, this skill was a terrain skill of the Light Attribute.

Once released, it would summon a gate in the sky which would emanate light, illuminating a large area while also dispersing darkness.

However, for Dong Jun, this skill didn’t seem very useful, since Heaven’s Gate was not a Healing skill.

It wasn’t an offensive skill either.

So even if Dong Jun used Primal Light Solution, the skill’s effect wouldn’t change.

As for the Light Attribute’s terrain effect… Chen Xing thought it over, he didn’t seem to be lacking that either.

The Light Attribute’s terrain effect targeted enemies with the Dark Attribute.

He wasn’t short on this kind of counter either.

Chen Xing chose the credit card.

Academic Credits were hard currency.

Other than eventually taking the Dark Attribute treasure material to the Sìxiàng to test whether it could be used as evolution material, confirming its attribute compatibility, it had no other use.

When Chen Xing finished choosing his prize,

the opponent for the eighth level descended.

A Colorful Poison Dart Frog of Energy Level sixty-three made its appearance.

This was a poison-attribute Beast Taming creature.

It possessed lethal toxin, had a small stature, and was less than thirty centimeters in length.

The stark contrast formed between the massive and the tiny.

The Colorful Poison Dart Frog spewed a clump of poison darts; Taotie’s huge body made it difficult to dodge, and his front claws got directly sprayed.

The impacted area was instantly corroded, emitting pungent white smoke.

Taotie stomped down with a paw.

The Colorful Poison Dart Frog attempted to dodge, but the massive claw descended from the sky, blocking all its escape routes.

Snap~

The Colorful Poison Dart Frog became a blob of frog jam.

The wound where Taotie was hit by the skill and got corroded continued to expand and ultimately left a spherical pit with a two-meter diameter in his paw.

This poison was actually so fierce.

Even Taotie’s flesh was corroded to such an extent. If it were a smaller-sized Beast Taming creature, its entire body would probably have melted away.

“Ao?” Taotie let out a confused roar.

“You say you feel a bit dizzy?”

Chen Xing checked Taotie’s State, and a “Poisoned” status had appeared in the status bar.

Chen Xing issued an order to Taotie, “First, summon a flood and use Water Devouring to remove the negative State.”

Taotie summoned a gray flood, opened its gaping maw to swallow a big gulp, and then released Water Devouring.

The “Poisoned” status behind it was instantly removed.

Taotie’s head was no longer dizzy.

Taotie looked at its master in amazement, realizing how smart the master was—this action really made it feel better.

As Taotie enacted Deep Sea Assault, the surrounding terrain turned into a marshland.

It was completely Taotie’s home field now.

Changing the terrain of the challenge was allowed, as this was inherent to a Beast Taming creature’s abilities.

With the eighth level passed, Chen Xing chose a 10,000 Academic Credits card from the three prizes.

The other two were ordinary treasure materials.

Of course, even among ordinary treasure materials, there were various levels of value, ranging from the expensive to the cheap.

But the other two prizes of the eighth level were treasure materials of the Wood and Metal Attributes.

So there was no need to choose.

The opponent for the ninth level slowly took shape.

A level seventy-one Nine-faced Turtle appeared. As a creature also of the Water Attribute, the Water Attribute environment created by Deep Sea Assault wasn’t much of an issue.

This Turtle’s Energy Level nearly matched Taotie’s, but in terms of physical strength, it was still far surpassed by Taotie.

Taotie took just ten seconds to break apart its shell, successfully advancing to the tenth level.

However, among the rewards for the ninth level, there appeared a material that Chen Xing found quite interesting.

Thunder Fire Demon Vine.

Lightning, fire, dark—this treasure material possesses all three attributes simultaneously.

These three attributes perfectly align with the Sìxiàng.

Chen Xing directly chose the Thunder Fire Demon Vine.

The opponent for the tenth level descended.

An Energy Level 79 Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark.

As soon as the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark appeared, its tail shook and instantly transformed into a bloody bolt of lightning, charging at Taotie with the swiftness of a thunderclap.

Another creature with a water attribute?

Chen Xing, standing on Taotie’s back, saw this creature.

Two consecutive water attribute creatures, how coincidental.

Could it be that inside the Inheritance Tower, releasing a skill that affects the arena prompts the next challenger to have a corresponding attribute?

The body of the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark was not small, nearly thirty meters in length.

Its dorsal fin, sharp as a blade, cut through the waves. As its speed increased, the surrounding sea water seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, churning violently.

Ultimately, it whipped up a raging giant wave, Deep Sea Assault!

Such a familiar skill.

When the same skill was unleashed by another target towards Taotie, a strange feeling arose in Chen Xing’s heart.

The giant wave, morphed from the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark, traversed hundreds of meters and slammed into Taotie’s body with force.

Wave after wave burst open, but the rugged and imposing body of Taotie stood still like a rock before the sea, firmly rooted to the spot, without moving an inch.

The dark armor on its body gleamed with an odd luster, shunning the damage from the water as it dispersed in all directions.

When the skill ended, the true form of the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark was revealed.

But it found itself in an awkward position, right at Taotie’s mouth.

Since it was already delivered to its mouth, Taotie did not bother to let it go.

The massive jaws, larger than the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark’s entire body, suddenly opened wide.

It bit into the body of the shark.

Like a giant guillotine, the body of the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark was nearly severed in half.

The shark’s exposed tail thrashed wildly, beating around Taotie’s mouth.

But its movements grew slower and its strength diminished.

Eventually, it dangled limply.

Seeing the Sharp-toothed Blood Crown Shark about to vanish from its mouth, Taotie quickly swallowed it down.

All previous prey had disappeared, and this one was meaty—it couldn’t afford to lose it.

Feeling the food sliding from its throat into its belly, Taotie’s eyes showed a look of contentment.

Suddenly, its eyes widened in shock.

The food that just slid into its stomach vanished without a trace.

Taotie smacked its lips.

Hurriedly savoring the lingering seafood flavor in its mouth before it dissipated.

When the tenth level was cleared, a stone platform rose in the center of the arena.

Unlike the previous three, there was only one stone platform this time.

Atop the platform lay a yellow and red intermingled translucent stone.

Many yellow and red mists swirled within the stone.

This stone seemed “alive”.

Below was an introduction to this item.

Rare treasure: Bloody Ancestral Crystal.

Consuming it can enhance bloodline purity, and a Beast Taming can consume it up to three times.

After reading the introduction, Chen Xing felt a mix of emotions.

He had expected some sort of exotic treasure, but this is it?

Enhance bloodline purity?

Isn’t that just high-quality pet food?

Yet the high-quality pet food he made himself had no such usage restrictions.

But this made Chen Xing understand even more the significance of high-quality pet food.

It could optimize the bloodline of his Beast Tamings to the limits of their species. If not for the high cost of production, there were no other drawbacks.

However, the low-end version, the Bloody Ancestral Crystal, could become the reward for the tenth level.

This indicated that treasures capable of enhancing bloodline purity are also quite precious in the Exotic Region.

Even though he had no use for it, it could still be traded with others.
