“This kid is not bad.” The director sighed with emotion. “In those small worlds, he broke through to the Grand Master realm at such a young age. He should be considered a top genius in their world.”

However, in the great world, there were many Beast Tamers who were Grand Masters at his age.

This was the difference.

It was also pitiful.

The Beast Tamers of these small worlds were like frogs in a well.

After being praised in their own small world for a long time, they started to feel proud and complacent. They really thought that they were geniuses.

However, when they came to the Great World through the Central Pagoda, they were crushed by the true peerless geniuses of the Great World. They found out that there was always someone better than them. Only then did they know how to restrain themselves and keep a low profile.

The director had seen many geniuses from the small world who had never recovered after being attacked by their peers in the Upper World.

The director lit a cigarette for himself. He bit the cigarette and looked at the man’s portrait. He sighed with emotion. “Speaking of small worlds, I miss my old friends. That kid returned to his hometown and refused to come back to see us old friends. Could it be that the wine and beautiful women in his hometown are too charming for him to forget?”

Upon hearing the director’s words, the subordinate beside him guessed boldly, “Are you talking about Senior Yin Mingjue?”

The director glanced at his subordinate but did not deny it.

The subordinate chuckled and typed quickly on the keyboard while chattering non-stop. “I’ve never seen Senior Yin Mingjue, but I heard that you and Senior Mingjue are best friends. Every time you provoked a girl, you’d have him help break off the engagement…”

The director slapped his subordinate on the head. “Shut up and work.”

The subordinate quickly shut his mouth and worked seriously.

The director narrowed his eyes and looked out of the window. He missed his old friend. That fellow’s daughter should have become a beautiful woman by now.

Tsk.

Yin Mingjue was handsome, and the wife he found was a beauty. When his daughter grew up, she would probably be drop dead gorgeous as well.

He just didn’t know which kid was going to be unlucky again.

It was only when the cigarette burned his finger that the director came back to his senses. He stared at the computer screen and then raised his hand to pat his subordinate’s head. He urged him, “Finish the ranking as soon as possible. I want to see how many dark horses appeared in this competition.”

Every year, the Administration would create three different rankings according to their cultivation levels.

They were the Master, Supreme Master, and Grand Master rankings.

Those who could squeeze into this rankings were considered super geniuses.

The participants of the Great World all wanted their names written on this list. Only by entering this list could they prove their strength.

On the other hand, Yu Huang, who came from the small world, did not know about the existence of the ranking list, nor did she have the ambition to appear on it like them. Her goal was only to fight to the end and successfully enter the Holy Spirit Continent’s 500th expert rankings to enter the Holy Spirit Academy to study.

***

In the boundless desert, Yu Huang was alone.

Yu Huang walked forward, but didn’t even see a single person. She missed the woman called Zhu Ying.

If she had known that the desert was so lonely, she would have tied Zhu Ying behind her and dragged her while chatting.

Night fell, and the sky became darker and darker. The temperature also plummeted.

Yu Huang’s exposed long legs had goosebumps, and her arms were also covered in goosebumps.

It was chilly.

Logically speaking, Beast Tamers should not be afraid of the cold.

However, this battlefield was very strange. The coldness here had a bone-chilling feeling. Yu Huang stopped and took out a down jacket from her interspatial ring to wear. She had just warmed up for a while when she felt cold again.

Yu Huang could only circulate her spiritual power to resist the cold.

After walking in the desert for half a night, Yu Huang finally couldn’t take it anymore. She sat down in the desert and looked up at the pitch-black sky. She muttered, “What kind of bullsh*t battlefield is this? I can’t even see a single star.”

Just as Yu Huang finished speaking, she saw something flash in the pitch-black sky.

When she looked again, she realized that there was an additional star in the sky.

Yu Huang was speechless.

Stars?

What the hell? There was clearly nothing just now.

Yu Huang placed her hands behind her head. She laid on the sofa and stared at the lonely star. Sheng Xiao’s face flashed across her mind. She said, “A single star seems so lonely. They have to be in pairs.”
