Chapter 867: The Beast Trainer

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Li Min was stunned by the sudden change of events.

The warbeast training site of the ministry?

Li Min had read countless books since she was little – astronomy, geography, history and also law. She saw how big the mistake she made was and the consequence of it. If she were to be caught by the half-saint from Ministry of War, the entire Li Family would be in trouble.

She started panicking. At this moment, she felt deeply related to the saying ‘Knowledge comes from books and also experience gained from the real world.’ While she got to know many things through reading, not all of the information was accurate. She had to travel more to see the world for herself to be free from ignorance.

Li Min turned to Zhang Ruochen, only to find him composed.

How could he remain calm while facing King Thousand-elephant?

King Thousand-elephant was the Warden of Thousand-elephant County. He was a well-known figure in Yuan Mansion. Although Li Min had never seen him in person, she heard many things about him.

“Zhang… Zhang Ruochen…”

Her voice was shaky, exacerbated by her nervousness.

Zhang Ruochen stored the dead Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant in his Spatial Ring, and turned to Li Min. He hesitated for a moment, then ordered Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, “Guoguo, take her with you.”

Since Zhang Ruochen had agreed to bring Li Min along, he had to ensure her safety and bring her back alive.

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit sprawled on the ground, and its fluffy body started expanding like a balloon to the size of an elephant.

With Li Min on its back, the two faded into a red streak flashing towards the exit.

“Nobody is allowed to leave.”

King Thousand-elephant took out a green flag, channeled his Holy Qi into its pole, and thrust it forward.

The pole elongated and widened, then stuck on one of the hilltops, looking like the pillar of the sky.

The inscription engraved on the battle flag started combining with the battle formation on the ground, and activated a spell that caused light poles to thrust from the ground, encircling the area.

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit bumped its head onto an invisible wall, causing it to have a virtual bend. Fortunately, his strength was strong enough to withstand the aftershock and he regained stability within seconds.

“There are battle formations instilled in these mountains? Looks like it’s impossible to escape.” Elephant-swallowing Rabbit had a bad feeling, then turned to Zhang Ruochen, looking concerned.

Since the ministry had converted the Ancient Forest into a warbeast training site, they must have studied the landscape well to impose battle formations that were in favor of its hilly features.

These formations would utilize the terrain advantage to strengthen the power by absorbing the surrounding energy.

Once, there was a pack of half-saints that turned evil who broke into the Ancient Forest of the Elephant King to cast some deadly poisonous spells. These spells were meant to poison the warbeasts to death in order to weaken the forces of the ministry. Unfortunately, none of them survived these battle formations.

Lightning bolts flickered in the dark sky full of black clouds, and loud, crashing thunder followed after.

“You are all trapped, where else can you run?”

King Thousand-elephant extended his hand from the black cloud he was standing on. Together, the energy channeled from the black cloud and the lightning augmented his palm to grab Elephant-swallowing Rabbit.

Li Min, who was on the back of Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, felt an immense weight suffocating her, as if all of her organs were being trampled on.

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit reacted swiftly. It leapt to the side to avoid King Thousand-elephant’s grip.

The palm missed and hit the ground instead, spitting out debris of crushed stones and shrubs, and tearing one of the hills in half.

Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity immediately and unleashed the power of space to one of the directions. He groaned, “Break.”

The strike hit the virtual wall and a thirty meter long crack could be seen clearly. The spiritual Qi within the wall started flowing out through the crack.

With the loss of spiritual Qi, the effect of the battle formation reduced.

At this instant, Zhang Ruochen struck a palm into the air and conjured a huge fiery dragon. It gave out a deafening howl, then crashed into the pole.

“Bam!”

The pole was halved and fell onto the ground.

Without the formation, Elephant-swallowing Rabbit let loose and zoomed his way out. His speed shocked King Thousand-elephant. Even with his strength, he would not have been able to overtake the rabbit.

Yet, the Ancient Forest of the Elephant King belonged to the Ministry of War and was heavily guarded. It was easier to sneak in than to escape.

Just then, the sound of a melodious flute was heard. The tune transformed into rippling waves that resonated along with the surroundings, and transmitted for miles and miles…

All the beastly elephants were agitated the moment the sound wave hit them, and started flocking towards the source, forming into a herding attack.

Birds were fleeing from the shaking ground, but in a specific direction. Zhang Ruochen stood in the middle of the woods, his long black hair blowing in the wind. When he looked up, the sky was covered with thousands of moving dark spots.

The flute artist was an old man in a linen robe, standing by the cliff, who was only about 1.3 meters tall. While he was extremely skinny and could have been a dwarf, his gaze was intense and fierce.

This man was Hai Min, the chief beast trainer under King Thousand-elephant. His Spiritual Power was already at Level 46.

The King was more focused on managing all matters of Thousand-elephant County and training the army. The one who was in true control of the Ancient Forest of the Elephant King would be Hai Min.

“Let’s fight our way out!”

Zhang Ruochen leapt above Monster Ape, and threw his Abyss Ancient Sword in midair. Thousands of swords started pouring down at the herding beasts like a heavy sword rain.

With the attack of the sword shower, a majority of the beastly elephants were taken down.

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit was ahead of everyone else, unleashing its demonic Qi that left trails of ice behind.

Those beastly elephants that were run over by Elephant-swallowing Rabbit could not withstand the impact and were thrown away.

Moreover, they were frozen and glued to the ground.

Li Min sat on the back of Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, her hands holding its blood red fur. There was a sudden rush of blood to the head and she wished she had greater Spiritual Power so that she could kill the enemies in front of her with just a snap of her fingers.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen, who was standing on the top of Monster Ape, released his Spiritual Power into a Thunder Pearl. The pearl gathered all his power and conjured thousands of lightning bolts in the sky.

He then pointed at Hai Min’s whereabouts.

Couples of lightning were cast out from the pearl and combined into a thicker bolt, flying across the skyline.

Hai Min saw the incoming bolt, and stopped playing the flute. He exclaimed, “He is also a spiritual power half-saint, and his strength is manipulating lightning and thunder into a destructive strike!”

Hai Min motioned with his left hand and muttered, “Clouds Sweeper.”

Not only was Hai Min a beast trainer, but also a spiritual power half-saint. His power was controlling the wind.

Clouds Sweeper was a level six spell that only a spiritual power half-saint could wield.

An extreme cold air started blowing through, and the speed was so fast that it formed into a tornado.

The tornado was formed by razor wind. It started from Hai Min’s fingertip and extended into an enormous whirlpool, stumbling at the incoming lightning bolt.

Bang!

The two forces collided in midair, and the surroundings shook from the energy output. At the same time, countless lightning bolts and wind razors came falling out of the collision, leaving potholes on the ground.

“That is the power of a spiritual power half-saint.”

Li Min raised her head to stare at the blinding lightning and whirling air dragon in the sky. She gritted her teeth, feeling envious of their powers.

Zhang Ruochen is sick! How did he train his Spiritual Power to such an advanced level. How I wish I were as good as him! Li Min thought to herself.

Although both of Hai Min’s and Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual powers were at level 46, the latter had only achieved level 46, which made him weaker than Hai Min.

Furthermore, Hai Min majored in Spiritual Power. The spells he performed would be far more advanced and powerful. It took him only awhile to suppress the lightning strike attack from Zhang Ruochen.

“Sword One.”

Zhang Ruochen performed spiritual power and sword techniques at the same time. He provoked massive Sword Intent to control the Abyss Ancient Sword, which then conjured thousands of blades to fuse with the Thunder Pearl. The blades that penetrated through the pearl gushed down at Hai Min, like shooting stars in a meteor shower.

Hai Min sensed a strong sword Qi approaching him, and immediately, he retracted the wind dragon, channeling his Spiritual Power to pull another stunt.

Soon, a huge wind shield appeared in front of him.

Unfortunately, Hai Min underestimated Zhang Ruochen’s achievements in sword techniques and the power of the Abyss Ancient Sword.

The wind shield could only withstand the sword for an instant and soon enough, Abyss Ancient Sword shattered the shield into pieces.

The sword hit Hai Min’s chest. Even with the defense of his amulet, Hai Min was thrown out and hit his back.

The body of a spiritual power half-saint was indeed weak. A crash like this could have killed him. He slumped on the ground, bleeding severely.
