388: Meet an old friend and search for the seal stone!
"He's right here in Yu City."
Xu Yue turned around.
Into the holographic conference room walked a figure dressed in black.
That figure in black was so familiar.
It made everyone present freeze for a moment before reacting.
"It's you, Fang Ran?!"
"Damn it, why is it you?"
Two voices rang out.
Fang Ran looked over and immediately saw two familiar faces.
Jiang Yuhuan and Lei Tianren, both of whom were Beast Tamer from cities surrounding Yu City back then, and had participated in the assessment with him.
"Lei Tianren? Jiang Yuhuan? Is that you two?"
"Have you two joined the Beast Taming Association now?"
Fang Ran asked.
"Sigh, the situation is critical now. Originally, I was supposed to study in the Imperial Capital Academy for a few more years," Lei Tianren shook his head, then continued, "However, since my hometown is in trouble, I have to come back."
"You've become an Inspector for the Beast Taming Association now?" Jiang Yuhuan was shocked.
Back then, he and Fang Ran trained together under Senior Lin.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Fang Ran had become an Inspector for an entire region?
And besides the two of them,
the Beast Taming Association from other urban areas had sent seasoned Beast Tamer.
They knew Fang Ran and immediately felt a hint of doubt, even a touch of skepticism.
"Inspector Fang, although this question is presumptuous, I still want to ask it," a white-bearded old man began.
"Ask away," Xu Yue nodded, speaking on Fang Ran's behalf.
After all, as an Inspector of a region, he needed to maintain a certain level of gravitas.
Fang Ran didn't understand these things, and being too approachable in everything he did wasn't necessarily a good thing.
"What ranks are your Beasts at now?"
"Yes, that's what we want to ask too."
"Did you take this opportunity to advance to King Late Stage?"
Several people echoed in agreement.
For an Inspector of a region, reaching King Late Stage was a perfectly normal standard!
"Hmm, I'm curious too," Lei Tianren said.
He had become a King-level and only joined the Beast Taming Association as a Deputy Chairman, but Fang Ran had become an Inspector of a region, theoretically able to control seven nearby Beast Taming Associations!
Had it only been one or two years? Could Fang Ran really grow this fast?
"All three of my pet beasts have reached Monarch Early-stage."
Fang Ran spoke truthfully.
He only mentioned contracting three Beasts.
After all, for a King-level individual to contract too many would be truly astonishing.
However, these words plunged everyone into silence.
Three Monarch Early-stage!
Astonishing!
Fang Ran had just reached Monarch Early-stage himself, and he already had three King-level Beasts?
How could they evolve so quickly? Just the resources needed for cultivation and advancement were an astronomical figure!
But considering Fang Ran went to the World Academy and performed exceptionally well, being publicly praised by the Beast Taming Association, it made sense!
And Lei Tianren's eyes widened directly.
It was the same for Jiang Yuhuan beside him.
You both started school at the same time, how are you so outstanding?
After the surprise,
everyone calmed down a bit.
If the Beast Taming Association valued Fang Ran's potential, arranging three King-level Beasts as Inspectors was absolutely not excessive!
But, at this moment, Monarch Early-stage was not good enough to solve the predicament they faced.
"Here, we have a King-level beast born, initially assessed to have strength close to Monarch Early-stage."
"We don't have King-level fierce beasts here, only some Transcendent-level ones. Inspector Fang's casual Beast can solve them."
"My situation is alright; that King-level beast doesn't dare to act ostentatiously."
Lei Tianren replied.
Among them, he was the safest.
Lei Tianren was, after all, a Beast Tamer from the Imperial Capital Academy, so it was normal for him to reach King-level by relying on the power of heaven and earth.
King-level fierce beasts weren't fools; they wouldn't provoke creatures of the same level without reason, so the place where Lei Tianren was located was relatively safe.
"It seems, just as President Bai said, the dangers vary from place to place."
Fang Ran stroked his chin.
It was just a small place.
Yet a few fierce beasts had advanced to King-level?
"What about Black Stone Mountain? Will the Black Dragon King break through to Emperor-level?"
Fang Ran was startled.
But then he recovered.
If fierce beasts could break through, then those Emperor Beast Masters would also break through.
What about Long Yu? Fang Ran suddenly froze, thinking of Long Yu, who was in his Beast Taming Space. Hadn't she failed to advance to Emperor-level back then?
"Fang Ran?"
Someone saw him lost in thought and called out.
"What are you planning to do? We are already in great danger here. If you bring your three Beasts over, you can definitely solve the problem!"
Hope shone in that person's eyes.
King-level, no matter when they arrived, would be a great help.
"That would be too much trouble. I will send my three Beasts to the three most dangerous cities to solve the problems separately."
Fang Ran said.
These words made everyone pause.
Not choosing to solve them one by one, but to delay them separately?
"Don't worry, Inspector Fang is much stronger than you imagine!" Xu Yue added.
They probably didn't know that Fang Ran didn't solve the problem with a three-on-one fight.
Instead, he summoned his Beasts and solved the problem with a one-on-one fight!
As the meeting concluded,
the three Beasts were all assigned by Fang Ran to different cities.
"Remember, eradicate them completely," Fang Ran instructed.
And, while they're at it, help him harvest some gene points!
This was a great opportunity.
"Master, how long will we be separated?" Xiao Nian was reluctant, having thought she could sleep with her master again tonight.
"The faster you solve the problem, the faster you'll come back," Fang Ran replied.
It's time to work, and you're still thinking about sleeping!
This kind of Slime should be used like an ox. As the saying goes, when there's work, the Beasts do it...
"I'm leaving." Xiao Tian remained emotionless.
And Qing She had already departed, drilling into the clouds under the cover of night.
Suddenly becoming a lone wolf, Fang Ran was indeed a little unaccustomed.
"Want to grab dinner tonight? My treat." Xu Yue smiled slightly, seemingly afraid Fang Ran would refuse.
"Hmm, sure. I also have something to tell you."
Fang Ran sighed.
Xu Yue's younger brother, she probably didn't know yet.
He had initially thought about keeping this matter a secret, but she had the right to know.
......
At this very moment,
in the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Bishop! The...God Egg was stolen! We truly had no other way!"
A woman with a pair of rabbit ears drooping down her cheeks, prostrated on the ground, her arms trembling as she replied.
"I don't blame you. Our plan wasn't successful to begin with. Even if the God Egg had disrupted the city, it probably wouldn't have had much effect," the voice emerged from the void.
Then it continued, "However, you made a mistake, so you must be punished."
"Find a way to take the stone that seals heaven and earth. We possess more keys, but we lack the crucial sealing stone!"
"But that sealing stone is in a heavily guarded area of the Imperial Capital; no one can get in!" She had never seen the Bishop's figure; each time she couldn't find his true body, he was incredibly mysterious!
"Who told you there's only one sealing stone? I heard that some races also possess smaller sealing stones."
"Possessing the sealing stone and the key allows one to control it to elevate one's own limits beyond the world; that is the foundation of true power!"
It was just that an accident occurred midway, and the Dragon Kingdom opened the rift one step ahead, allowing all living beings to enjoy the pleasure of evolution!
"I've already found out that besides various countries, the Celestial God Clan also possesses a sealing stone."
