Chapter 211: The High Silver Level

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Phew!

Ye Xuan let out a light sigh on the back of the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle.

Reverse nurtured by the Evil Fiery Red Luan he had contracted with at the Tianshan Base. His Spirit Ocean had been showing signs of improvement for some time.

By then, he finally leveled up.

He achieved the high Silver level from the low Silver level.

Of course, it was not completely thanks to the Evil Fiery Red Luan that he had been improving so fast.

The Tidal Treasure Snail achieved the Silver level when he was in the Bujin Mountain area. Then it achieved another breakthrough by soaring to the high Silver Level from the low Silver level. Therefore, he had got a lot of reverses nurturing from the Tidal Treasure Snail as well.

And his other beasts were also reverse nurturing him all the time. Such a steady nourishing from them was the main reason he achieved the high Silver level so quickly.

“Not bad.”

Ye Xuan felt joyful when he had detected the improvement of his cultivation level.

Thinking back, he realized he had only achieved the Silver level about a week ago.

It was pretty satisfying for him that he achieved the high Silver level in only a week.

Most importantly, he could still contract with one more beast.

He was looking forward to the day he contracted with his next beast, and the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings achieved the Silver level.

And in the meantime, his other beasts would also improve to some extent. He figured he would be not far away from the peak Silver level by then.

“Ye Xuan, you can’t have leveled up again. Did you level up?”

Ren Xue asked spontaneously after seeing Ye Xuan’s change.

How many days passed?

Didn’t you achieve the intermediate Silver level only three days ago?

Ren Xue was so shocked that she almost thought her memory had gone wrong.

“Ye Xuan.”

After having thrown Ye Xuan a few glances, Lin Shiru suddenly said, “There are only two months to go to this year’s Hundred Academy League.”

“?”

Ye Xuan looked up at Lin Shiru immediately as if he was puzzled.

I certainly know there are only two months to go to this year’s Hundred Academy League.

Haven’t we been talking about this?

Why did you repeat it?

You can’t be thinking I will achieve the Platinum level in two months and lead the Jiangzhou University to participate in this year’s Hundred Academy League!

“Ms. Lin, do you think…”

Ye Xuan intended to clear his doubt immediately.

However, Lin Shiru cut in with a nod before he could finish speaking, “I think you might make it.”

“Ms. Lin, you are making fun of me. I certainly cannot!”

Ye Xuan hurried to shake his head.

That was real nonsense.

He had just achieved the high Silver level.

For Beast Tamers, it would be more and more difficult to level up.

It was true he had been leveling up fast.

But his level-up would slow down naturally since he had achieved a higher level.

Ye Xuan kept shaking his head.

“It’s okay.”

However, Lin Shiru smiled gently at Ye Xuan. “Give it a try. It would be perfect if it could work, but even if it couldn’t, it would be okay. Big deal.”

“So, to achieve this goal, we must make a plan now.”

A plan?

Ye Xuan was shocked.

“Yep.”

Lin Shiru nodded. Then she took out her cell phone and looked at it. “We will rest for two days after going back to the university. I will take you to a place two days later. You will try to contract with the next beast of yours there!”

“What place are you taking me to?”

Lin Shiru piqued curiosity in Ye Xuan.

But Lin Shiru did not answer him. She only extended her hand to give her phone to Ye Xuan.

[Breaking news: An elderly turtle bearing a mysterious ancient city on its back showed up in the North Sea. The elderly turtle is lingering in contentious waters between the Xia, Guluo, Jiama, and Oumo.

The four countries already sent strong Beast Tamers to explore the ancient city recently.

Today, they reached an agreement with the elderly turtle bearing the ancient city on its back.

As reported by the four countries.

They will pick candidates among geniuses from different countries and send them into the ancient city for trials in two days.

According to their description, the ancient city on the turtle shell is so spacious that it seems an independent world. It is divided into different areas by level.

All countries will select Silver-level, Gold-level, and Platinum-level Beast Tamers that they will send into the ancient city from the young generation.]

Ye Xuan was instantly astonished by that news.

What was Lin Shiru implying?

He had not traveled across the Xia yet, but he would go abroad soon?

“Don’t feel pressured.”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, Lin Shiru said, “I just asked Ms. Ren. She said more than one Challenger-level Beast Tamer would lead the team to the ancient city this time.”

“Besides, although many people will go to the ancient city this time, you will only visit the area that has been classified as Silver level.”

“You will be able to cope with it if you just stay in the Silver-level area.”

“You have a lot of beasts, but they are either land beasts or flying beasts. However, you are strong enough now. It is time for you to find a sea beast.”

A sea beast?

Ye Xuan was tempted.

He did need a beast like that at the moment.

“I see.”

Ye Xuan nodded at Lin Shiru.

He knew the appearance of the ancient city was an opportunity for him indeed.

Otherwise, he would be a little bothered because he did not really know where to find a beast with good potential.

Every step had been more difficult since he had achieved the Silver level.

“And the Hundred Academy League in two months?”

Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

He was surprised by this bold idea of Lin Shiru.

He would not have the nerve to even think about the chance of that happening.

“But sometimes, you just have to try harder to know how strong on earth you are.”

Ye Xuan gave himself a pep talk.

The Hundred Academy League would be held earlier this year. And Ye Yuanming left Jiangzhou University with many people not long ago, which made things worse for Jiangzhou University.

If Jiangzhou University could not even get into the top thirty in the Hundred Academy League this year, it would become a laughing stock.

“The thing is not anyone can go to that ancient city on the back of the turtle.”

Lin Shiru added at this moment, “Except Zhongzhou, the other prefectures of the Xia have four places each.”

“Therefore, you will need to compete for a place if you want to go there.”

“Compete? How? Against whom?”

Ye Xuan was struck dumb by Lin Shiru’s answer.

“Longhu List!”

Lin Shiru threw Ye Xuan a glance. She went on, “The four candidates will be picked from the Longhu List.”

“All Beast Tamers on the Longhu List who have not achieved the Gold level and do not have any Gold-level beasts are qualified for the selection.”

“And for the upcoming event, the Education Bureau will arrange a fight for you as soon as possible if you have decided on the person you want to challenge these days. They won’t keep you waiting for too long.”

“I see.”

That information seemed to make Ye Xuan ponder.

Then he asked, “Ms. Lin, Jiang Tianqing from Wanshan University is ranked first among the Silver-level Beast Tamers on the Longhu List of Jiangzhou, isn’t he?”

Beast Tamers who had Gold-level beasts and were hence on the verge of achieving the Gold level were not included in the Silver-level Beast Tamers he was talking about.

Those Beast Tamers already had one foot in the Gold level.

They would achieve the Gold level complete with a little bit more effort.

“No, he isn’t.”

Lin Shiru shook her head.

“Jiang Tianqing is just a sophomore. He isn’t strong enough to be ranked first among all Silver-level Beast Tamers yet.”

“The person ranked first among the Silver-level Beast Tamers on the Longhu List is Dong Hai, a senior of our university. He is ranked 65th on the Silver List.”

“Sixty-fifth?”

This information stirred in Ye Xuan. He remembered Jiang Tianqing from Wanshan University was the number one on the Rising Star List and ranked 71st on the Longhu List.

The 71st and the 65th were quite close.

“Ms. Lin.” At this moment, Ren Xue, who had been looking at her phone, shook her head. She said, “A Silver-level beast of Dong Hai achieved the Gold level two days ago. The number one among Silver-level Beast Tamers is hence Cai Feng from Wanshan University now.”

“A beast of Dong Hai achieved the Gold level?”

Lin Shiru’s eyes lit up.

It was certainly good news that a beast of his achieved the Gold level.

However, she did not know much about Cai Feng, whom Ren Xue had just mentioned.

Judging from Ye Xuan’s past achievements, she figured it would not be difficult for him to challenge Cai Feng.

Even though Cai Feng was on the peak Silver level.

And Ye Xuan had just achieved the high Silver level.

“Ms. Lin.”

However, seeing Lin Shiru’s expression, Ren Xue showed a sour smile. She said, “This isn’t the point. The point is since one of Dong Hai’s beasts achieved the Gold level, not only the number one of Silver-level Beast Tamers is Cai Feng from Wanshan University.”

“But also the number two is from Wanshan University.”

“The number three is Miao Shuyao. She is from our university.”

“What is the problem?”

Lin Shiru raised her eyebrow. She did not get what Ren Xue was implying.

The ranking seemed normal to her.

After all, this was just the ranking among Silver-level Beast Tamers.

The real hard competition for Beast Tamers ranked on the Longhu List was among those Gold-level Beast Tamers.

“Well, it wasn’t a big problem. I happen to know Miao Shuyao. And I know she is looking for evolutionary resources for sea beasts. Therefore, she must be eager to go to the ancient city as well.”

“However, I was just told one thing.”

“It is said Jiang Tianqing from Wanshan University posted on his social media account not long ago, claiming he would challenge Miao Shuyao. Now he is still waiting for Miao Shuyao’s reply.”

“Jiang Tianqing challenged Miao Shuyao?”

Lin Shiru knitted her eyebrow.

If Jiang Tianqing defeated Miao Shuyao, her rank would drop to the fourth among Silver-level Beast Tamers.

If that happened, no matter whom Ye Xuan would challenge, Miao Shuyao’s rank would further drop to the fifth.

That meant she would not get a place to go to the ancient city.

“Well, that’s easy.”

Ye Xuan smiled at Ren Xue. “Ren Xue, now that you know Miao Shuyao, you can send her a message and tell her to refuse the challenge.”

“Tell her to refuse the challenge?”

Ren Xue frowned. “That’s impossible. There are special rules these days. If she refuses to take the challenge, her rank will drop automatically.”

“Well, in that case, you just tell her to postpone the fight as much as possible after she agrees to take the challenge.”

Ye Xuan said after thinking.

“Ye Xuan, do you plan to…?”

Lin Shiru raised her eyebrow when she had heard Ye Xuan’s suggestion.

“Ms. Lin, let’s turn in another direction. We will go back to Jiangzhou University later. I haven’t visited Wanshan University yet since I moved to Jiangzhou. Let’s go and have a look now.”

Ye Xuan said. There was a gleam in his eyes.

He had never visited Wanshan University indeed.

“Ye Xuan, that’s not gonna work.”

Next to him, Ren Xue shook her head. “Even if you go to Wanshan University and defeat Jiang Tianqing, Jiang Tianqing still can challenge Miao Shuyao.”

“I certainly know that. However, what if I disable Jiang Tianqing so that he won’t be able to get off his bed in the next two days?”

Ye Xuan was ill-disposed toward many people from Wanshan University.

Jiang Tianqing was one of them.

He had heard this name more than once.

Therefore, he had investigated Jiang Tianqing.

He knew Jiangzhou University had never killed anyone from Jiangzhou University in competitions, but he badly injured students from Jiangzhou University. Some injured by him even lay in bed for ten days.

Shriek!

Lin Shiru did what Ye Xuan had said immediately.

She made the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle turn in another direction.

In this way, the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle flew toward Wanshan University.
