Chapter 115: All Kinds of Methods, Each with Its Own Brilliance
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s comments, Lin Zhibai felt ashamed.
His cultivation level was higher than Ye Xuan.
Moreover, it was not just a little bit higher.
Despite the difference of several realms, his performance was still not comparable to Ye Xuan.
It was so shameful that he could not find a place to hide his shame.
At the same time, the others also blushed.
“Based on the information you gave me, this should be the White Bone Plains in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.”
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Zhibai.
“The White Bone Plains do not have many powerful monsters, and there aren’t many evolution resources.”
Ye Xuan scanned the area while he spoke.
“There is no reason for us to stay here. Those of you with flying-type beasts, summon them.”
“Those without flying-type beasts, try as much as possible to share with others.”
After he finished speaking, Ye Xuan turned around to look behind him. He knew that the next university group would be arriving soon.
The order of entering the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm was based on the rankings of each university.
Their Jiangzhou University was ranked number one.
Then, after them was Wanshan University.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as Ye Xuan finished speaking, Lin Zhibai and the others had quickly summoned their flying-type beasts.
Then, following Ye Xuan, they rose from the ground and flew across the land at a low altitude.
The entire White Bone Plains was huge.
Moreover, it gave off a chilly sensation.
However, after everyone had calmed themselves down, they quickly adapted and got used to the environment.
As the group summoned their individual beasts, Ye Xuan also checked out these beasts.
Lin Zhibai’s beast was a strange bird type with a wingspan of around seven to eight meters. It was completely green, and it had no feather on its body. It was like a strange bird made entirely out of bronze.
[White Flame Bronze Bird: Four stars (Flame element/Metal element)
Level: Low-level Bronze
Abilities: Bronze Spirit Body, White Flame Spirit Fire, Bronze Claw, Sky Dash
Evolution Path One: White Flame Vajra Bird
Evolution Path Two: Triple Flame Bronze Bird
Evolution Path Three: …]
“It is actually a Bronze level beast.”
Ye Xuan was a little surprised after seeing Lin Zhibai’s beast.
One should remember that Lin Zhibai was only in his second year of high school at that moment.
There were still a few more days before he entered his third year.
And with his current strength, by the time he reached the third year, growing his beast to the peak of Bronze level within a year would not be much of an issue.
It was even possible to be like Ye Tiange, to reach the Silver level before enrolling in university.
After that, Ye Xuan continued to look at the others’ beasts.
The people around him were all geniuses of the respective Jiangzhou University’s affiliated high schools.
Each of them was exclusively handpicked.
As such, none of them had a weak beast.
The lowest quality one was a three-star Dark Iron level.
Some among them even had Dark Iron four stars beasts and a few being Dark Iron five stars beasts.
Moreover, the beast tamers who owned Dark Iron three-star beasts were probably advanced from the Apprentice level.
“They are different after all,” Ye Xuan thought in his mind after looking at everyone’s beast.
Just as he was thinking, he had an idea. So he also appraised the attributes of the blond teenager’s beast.
At that moment, Ye Xuan already knew the name of the blond teenager.
He knew that he was called Zhu Wen.
And Zhu Wen’s beast was a Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede.
Bursts of chilly vapor oozed from the Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede’s body.
It looked as if the beast could mount the clouds and ride the mist as it flew amid the freezing vapor, occasionally exposing some scales and half its claw. It looked strange and fascinating.
[Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede: Five stars
Level: Dark Iron Peak
Abilities: Frost Breath, Frost Ember, Centipede Dragon’s Roar, Cloud Mount
Evolution Path: Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede King…]
They were only simple attributes.
It had very few skills. Only four.
However, even though it had very few skills, it did not mean that it was not strong.
Some skills were good enough to top a higher number of skills.
This Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede was most likely the case.
Based on Ye Xuan’s estimation, under the condition where both beasts were at the same level, even Lin Zhibai’s White Flame Bronze Bird would not be able to be its opponent.
“Hmm?”
Then, at that moment, just as Ye Xuan led the group fly past a white bone mountain, he felt a space element wave from afar through the Tidal Treasure Snail.
Over 30 people had suddenly appeared in their previous location.
The Tidal Treasure Snail did not transform into a hat and was not worn on Ye Xuan’s head like usual.
Instead, it was hidden within his beast lair. It was seizing the opportunity to devour the White Flame Orbs.
However, the beast’s lair could amplify a beast’s sensing ability significantly.
And the Tidal Treasure Snail’s mini-map ability was categorized as a sensing skill.
While the Tidal Treasure Snail remained inside the beast lair, everything within a thousand-meter radius could be displayed on its real-time mini-map.
“Ye Xuan, what’s wrong?” Lin Zhibai asked, turning around, after seeing Ye Xuan’s expression.
“Wanshan University’s people have arrived,” answered Ye Xuan.
He knew why Lin Shiru was so confident in him leading the journey to the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm because of the Tidal Treasure Snail’s mini-map ability.
As such, for the remainder of their journey in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, he knew that it was impossible to hide this ability.
“Wanshan University’s people have arrived?” Lin Zhibai and the others looked at each other after hearing Ye Xuan’s words.
At that moment, they were already 600 to 700 meters away from their initial location.
How could Ye Xuan detect the arrival of the Wanshan University group from so far away?
Moreover, apart from the little elf on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, they did not see any signs of Ye Xuan summoning another beast.
Could it be that the tiny elf on Ye Xuan’s shoulder possessed an amazing sensing ability?
“Do any of you have a beast that could remove tracks and traces? It’s best if it’s an olfactory type,” Ye Xuan asked as he frowned.
Through the Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time mini-map, after the people from Wanshan University arrived, he clearly saw one person make a waving gesture and summon a black dog.
The dog’s breed or type was unclear; however, it sniffed around for a bit before barking in the direction they were in.
Immediately after that, without even a moment of hesitation, the group from Wanshan University began to fly toward them.
Ye Xuan knew that Wanshan University and Jiangzhou University’s relationship was one of healthy competition and not a life-and-death rivalry.
Also, even if they were caught up by the Wanshan University group, with so many eyes on them, no one would dare do anything such as killing them in the realm and risk the world’s condemnation.
However, Ye Xuan still knew that if the Wanshan University group found them, their journey in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm would most definitely not be smooth.
After hearing Ye Xuan’s question, a girl waved her arm and shouted, “I have!” Then, she summoned a petite white-colored three-eyed spirit mink.
[Three-eyed Shadow Mink: Four stars
Level: Dark Iron Peak
Abilities: Shadow Hiding, Shadow Flash, Shadow Corrosion, Three-eyed Spirit Eyes, Three-eyed Mink Claw
Evolution Path One: Three-eyed Divine Shadow Mink
Evolution Path Two: Three-eyed Black Spirit Mink…]
Ye Xuan glanced at it and determined the attributes of the three-eyed spirit mink.
Immediately after that, under the girl’s control, Ye Xuan saw the three-eyed spirit mink wave its tail and spread a form of dark energy around the area. Then, the energy started to attack the traces they left behind in the air when they were flying.
“Is this Shadow Corrosion?” Ye Xuan thought.
Then, he continued to lead the group and made slight alterations to their flight path.
Then, they continued to fly toward the back of the white bone peak.
“Ye Xuan, is the Wanshan University group pursuing us? Let me see what they want to do?”
A boy saw this and summoned a tiny black and white bird.
Immediately after the little bird appeared, it slowly left a shadow of itself in the sky while flapping its wings.
Then, in a blur, the shadow slowly disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
[Thousand Shadow Spirit Bird (Shadow element/Bird type): Three stars
Level: High-level Dark Iron
Abilities: Shadow Clone, Vision Share, Thousand Shadow Sky Assault
Evolution Path One: Ancient Spirit Bird…]
Ye Xuan’s brow twitched slightly after seeing the boy’s action. However, he did not say anything.
Whoosh!
The group of ten, with eight flying-type beasts that could carry people, flew at high speed. Before long, they circled the white bone mountain peak that Ye Xuan chose.
After that, they continued to fly forward.
While they were flying, the group could occasionally see White Dried Skeletons crawl out from the plain filled with white bones and wander around aimlessly.
If two different White Dried Skeletons were to encounter each other, they would start fighting each other until one destroyed the other and devoured its soul.
The group also saw another type of skeleton monster, which was completely covered in platinum on the White Bone Plains.
These skeleton soldiers were clearly faster and stronger.
However, they were still not much of a threat to Ye Xuan’s group.
“Woof! Woof!”
After Ye Xuan’s group traveled around seven to eight hundred meters away from their location, over 30 Wanshan University students reached their previous location.
The black dog started to bark randomly after reaching the place and began to sniff all over.
However, this time, it could no longer pick up any traces of Ye Xuan’s group.
“These little bastards. That’s interesting.”
After experiencing this, Wanshan University’s team leader looked slightly surprised.
He immediately knew that their group had been discovered.
However, he could not understand how Ye Xuan’s group managed to discover them.
“Meow!”
At that time, a strange-looking black cat in the arms of a Wanshan University student suddenly reacted as if it had detected something. A green light appeared in its eyes as it looked toward a specific direction in the sky.
Whoosh!
In an instant, accompanied by its meowing, the green light in its eyes quickly found the hidden shadow left behind by the Thousand Shadow Spirit Bird.
And in the blink of an eye, it melted it.
“Oh? So it is this little thing.”
Seeing the shadow of the Thousand Shadow Spirit Bird, the students of Wanshan University were startled briefly before suddenly coming to a realization, thinking that they had understood the truth.
“Let’s go. Since we can’t find the kids from Jiangzhou University, for now, we’ll stop searching for them.”
One person looked around and said, “Since they are just a bunch of kids, they won’t be able to do much anything. Our purpose for coming here is to get as many evolution resources as possible.”
“Xu Feng.”
After hearing that, a figure with a pale face said, “I think we need to alter our plans slightly. For us to move in such a large group, even if it’s three days and even if we can get our hands on evolution resources, just how much can we get?”
“Now that Jiangzhou University is no longer a threat to us, I feel like we might be better of splitting up the group and operating separately.”
“Operating separately, huh?”
The person called Xu Feng raised his brow after hearing that suggestion. Then, he said, “All right, since Ye Luoqing, you want to separate the group, we’ll do that.”
…
“Xie Yu, what’s wrong?”
After Wanshan University’s students discovered and melted the Thousand Shadow Spirit Bird shadow seven or eight hundred meters away, the students in Ye Xuan’s group noticed a change in Xie Yu’s—the person who left the shadow of the Thousand Shadow Spirit Bird behind—expression.
“Wanshan University’s people are really pursuing us.”
Xie Yu took a deep breath.
After that, he glanced at Ye Xuan. He was finally completely convinced about Ye Xuan.
Even though they were so far away, he could still detect all of Wanshan University’s movements and actions.
Moreover, the people from Wanshan University did not even notice it.
Even among themselves, the people who were following and have been around Ye Xuan the whole time, had no idea how Ye Xuan did it.
His methods were truly unbelievably unpredictable.
