Chapter 42: Entry

“Is that guy Ye Xuan’s cousin?”

At the same time, when Ye Xuan and Ye Han met, Liu Hongtong who was not far away could not help but knitted his eyebrows.Ye Xuan came with Lin Shiru. And from the looks of it, Lin Shiru attached great importance to Ye Xuan.

This made him immediately dispel his previous thoughts. He could totally have his revenge against Ye Han.

But he must not attack Ye Xuan. And even if he were to so, he must never do it in the open.

“Oh?”

At this moment, after Ye Xuan chattered for a moment with Ye Han, he suddenly turned around and cast his eyes on Liu Hongtong.

Earlier on, Ye Han already told him that he had recently entered a Secret Realm and contracted a Wild Gold Treant. He had also roughly told him about the incident with Liu Hongtong. This compelled Ye Xuan to glance at Liu Hongtong who was not far away out of curiosity.

He kept his impression about Liu Hongtong in his heart so that he would not suffer any losses because of him in the future.

“F*ck!”

Not far away, Liu Hongtong cursed inwardly when he saw the scene unfold. Cursing at himself for talking like that just now. In fact, he was not afraid of regular specially enrolled students.

After all, he was still a second-year student at Jiangzhou University. And had also have some tiny achievements to himself. However, he dared not belittle a specially enrolled student recruited by Lin Shiru herself.

“Relax, Brother Ye Han. I’ll be more cautious in the future.”

In the distance, Ye Xuan only took a glance at Liu Hongtong and ignored him ever since. After learning about Lin Shiru’s true identity, he gained a deeper understanding of his own status in Jiangzhou University. He was someone who Lin Shiru attached great importance to and was willing to spend two months to provide guidance.

Unless something was wrong with Liu Hongtong’s brain, only then would he provoke him. Besides, even if something was really wrong with Liu Hongtong’s brain, it would be until two months later after he was officially enrolled that he would actually be able to do something to him.

At that time, he would have already become a Dark Iron level Beast Tamer. And in his arsenal, he might already have some three to four Dark Iron level beasts.

Under the reverse nurturing of three to four high-grade, Dark Iron level beasts, would it take him a long time to advance to Bronze level just like Liu Hongtong?

…

“Mr. Aucuba.”

At the same time, Lin Shiru stood respectfully on a branch at the top of the Eternal Aucuba Tree. In front of him, was a wooden house cleverly integrated with the entire tree. The wooden house was not big, but it was brimming with craftsmanship. Nobody knew who was the one who crafted it so delicately. Besides, in front of the wooden house, there was a strange chessboard.

On both sides of the chessboard, there were two green branches hanging downwards and fiddling with the chess pieces on the chessboard from time to time. It looked as if these two branches were right on the chessboard and deploying various strategies in maneuvering the chess pieces all around.

“Shiru, are you?”

Upon Lin Shiru’s arrival, the two branches paused at the same time, and immediately, a sound was emitted from the entire tree into Lin Shiru’s ears.

“Mr. Aucuba.”

Lin Shiru’s voice became more respectful, “I discovered a beast taming genius in a tiny border town in Jiangzhou. He can already contract two beasts at Apprentice level. I brought him back in this trip.”

“One of his beasts is an Ancient Wood Elf. I hope that when you are releasing your Aura of Eternity later, Mr. Aucuba, you can give the elf a little more attention.”

“Oh?”

The Eternal Aucuba Tree was slightly surprised. It did not expect that Lin Shiru, whose standards were exceptionally high when it came to people, would attach so much importance on one person.

“Very well then. Since you’re the one who made the request, Shiru, I will give that little one a little more attention.”

When the Eternal Aucuba Tree swept its consciousness over the venue, it caught sight of Ye Xuan and Lil Wan who were standing on his shoulders. Subsequently, it gently shook its branches, “Another thing, you really do have to relax sometimes. Since you have come, stay here for a moment and keep my company.”

“Alright.”

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Shiru took two steps forward and sat down respectfully on a wooded pier next to the chessboard.

Rustle!

As Lin Shiru sat down, the Eternal Aucuba Tree quivered, and branches began to flutter like verdant hair in the wind. As the branches were dancing, gusts of mystical aura exuded from its leaves and showered downwards.

“It’s beginning!”

Seeing this scene, the tutor with the surname Yu from Jiangzhou university at beneath exclaimed in a low voice, “Hurry up and unleash your beasts. Let them enter the radius of the Aura of Eternity.”

When Ye Xuan and the rest of the people heard him, they dared not to delay even in the slightest with their actions. All of them communicated with their own beasts and commanded them to enter the range of the Aura of Eternity. As for the Beast Tamer themselves, they could only wait outside the Aura of Eternity.

The Aura of Eternity had a great effect on Wood Element beasts, but for humans, they were like poison and was very corrosive. If one remained inside for too long, it was possible that parts of their bodies would turn into wood.

“Lil Wan, do you best!” Ye Xuan placed Lil Wan on his palm and encouraged her.

“Aye aye,” Lil Wan nodded, then clenched her pinkish fist and said, “I will become a top-level apprentice this time!”

Ye Xuan’s Beast Tamer Level had already caught up with his level. She must double her efforts. With that in mind, she levitated from Ye Xuan’s palm and flew towards the Eternal Aucuba Tree.

Beside her, was Ye Han’s Wild Gold Treant.

“Goldy, remember to take good care of Lil Wan!” Beside Ye Xuan, Ye Han also yelled at his Wild Gold Treant.

He was also very familiar with Lil Wan. When he was still young and unsensible, he even wanted to snatch Lil Wan from Ye Xuan. Of course, he was beaten up by Ye Xuan in the end. When he was still little, he was no match to Ye Xuan. Even though Ye Xuan was one year younger than him.

The Wild Gold Treant standing at five to six meters tall remained silent. It only adhered to Lil Wan, constantly keeping itself at less than one foot from her. Swiftly, the Ancient Wood Elf the size of a thumb and an absolutely massive Wild Gold Treant came together with the other Wood Element beasts and vanished as they ventured into the dense Aura of Eternity.

Under the cover of the dense fog, all the students waiting outside could only see a huge tree.

“I heard that the Eternal Aucuba Tree is the founder of Jiangzhou University, Lin Jianguo’s beast. For some reason, it didn’t die after Lin Jianguo plummeted, and instead, has become Jiangzhou University’s guardian.”

Beside Ye Xuan, when Ye Han saw him gazing at the Eternal Aucuba Tree within the fog, he introduced to him thinking that he was clueless about this legendary beast.

“Didn’t die for some reason?”

Ye Xuan fluttered inwardly and concentrated his vision on the Eternal Aucuba Tree.

In just a split second, the attribute panel in his mind flickered.

The attributes of the Eternal Aucuba Tree emerged on it.
