440: Divine Light Arrow, prepare for crisis in advance!

“Success?”

Fang Ran quickly stepped forward.

That trace of elemental power was incredibly dazzling, and when he reached out his hand, he could feel a warmth emanating from it.

The moment it appeared, it dispelled the surrounding black mist.

“Prepay Light Elemental Evolution Method!”

As Fang Ran used his ability, a memory flooded into Xiao Nian’s mind.

She felt as if she had been operating this Evolution Method for decades, and her mastery of it had reached a new level!

“Obtained Light Elemental Evolution Method (Proficient)!”

That memory felt as natural as if she was born with it!

“It takes decades… just to master this Light Elemental Evolution?”

Feeling her body’s instincts, Xiao Nian increasingly felt that Fang Ran’s ability was somewhat abnormal.

During those decades, she had wasted almost no time, except for eating and sleeping, dedicating all of it to practicing this Evolution Method.

Of course, this could also be because her level was too low.

“Emperor-level is just the beginning of controlling elemental power.”

“I am currently only King-level… so the difficulty of mastering elemental power is naturally very high.”

That’s why it might have taken decades.

Moreover, the difficulty of condensing light elemental power was much greater than other elemental powers!

“This is a skill book I found.”

“As long as you master light elemental power, you can try to practice it!”

Fang Ran took out a skill book.

Xiao Nian picked it up.

As her gaze swept over it, a notification appeared.

“Obtained Divine Light Arrow – Divine (Beginner)!”

“Divine Light Arrow – Divine (Beginner): Use light elemental power to condense a Divine Light Arrow, destroying evil!”

“The learning speed has also increased, is it because I mastered light elemental power?”

Fang Ran wondered inwardly.

He had asked Xiao Nian to learn it several times.

It was always very unwilling, and of course, it never managed to learn it in the end.

“Swish!”

Xiao Nian extended her right hand.

That light elemental power transformed into a slender arrow!

She held her left hand in a phantom grip, and a magnificent Holy Bow appeared, she drew the bow and notched the arrow, then shot it!

“Swish!!”

The Holy Light elemental power shot forth!

It instantly pierced through the pitch-black underground, creating a huge hole!

It flew an unknown distance, then disappeared into the darkness!

The next moment, as Xiao Nian beckoned, the power of the light element reappeared in her hand.

“This Divine Light Arrow consumes too much power, but even a King-level might not be able to withstand it.” Xiao Nian gripped the bow and crossbow, seemingly pondering something.

“I’ll help you raise your skill level.”

“Good!”

...

“Obtained Divine Light Arrow – Divine (Proficient)!”

“Remaining Debt: Condense and use Divine Light Arrow (0/1000) times!”

As her rank increased, the Divine Light Arrow Xiao Nian condensed became even more solid.

Around it, there was also a Holy Power shell, carrying a slight burning effect.

“I need to absorb Holy Power here and condense light elemental power, which will probably take a long time.” Xiao Nian said.

This was an opportunity to become stronger!

Even if she couldn’t advance to Emperor-level due to the limitations of heaven and earth, she could use this opportunity to accumulate elemental power and Holy Power!

And they also held the key to opening the cage; as soon as the time was right, the moment the cage opened, she would be able to advance!

“Hmm, it’s unlikely anyone else can enter here, so you can cultivate in peace.”

Fang Ran stroked her soft hair.

Xiao Nian obediently closed her eyes.

A moment later, Fang Ran followed the stairs to the surface, where the surroundings were already filled with black mist.

In the far distance, a group of Beast Tamer watched from afar, not daring to approach.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

Fang Ran’s phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw many messages he hadn’t received earlier.

“Fang Ran? Fang Ran, where did you go?”

“Why aren’t you replying to my messages?”

In the message bar, the messages sent by several people were all 99+.

President Bai, Yue Baojun, Aunt and Uncle Zhang Yunming, and even Iseria.

“What’s so urgent?” Fang Ran picked up his phone and called President Bai back.

When Fang Ran’s call connected, President Bai’s excited voice came from the other end.

“Finally connected! Where have you been all this time?”

“I discovered a hidden treasure, in the territory of the ancient Celestial God Clan. It’s occupied by some people from the Yu Shen Society, and I found many interesting things there.”

Hearing Fang Ran’s words, President Bai pondered for a moment.

Then he said, “Can you come back now?”

“Come back? Did something happen in Long Country?”

Fang Ran asked with a frown.

At such a critical time, if his return was needed to resolve something, it must be a major event.

“Come back first, then we’ll talk.”

“Okay!”

Fang Ran quickly nodded.

He had indeed stayed here for too long, and it was time to go back.

“Xiao Nian will be here for at least a few months, or even years. I’ll take Xiao Nian back to see what’s going on.”

Immediately, Fang Ran went underground and informed Xiao Nian of what had happened.

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes as she said, “Will there be any danger?”

“Don’t worry, with Long Yu around, what danger could there be?”

Hearing Fang Ran’s words, Xiao Nian nodded slightly.

At this time, she couldn’t give up the opportunity to evolve; if she left here, there would be no resources that could significantly enhance her Holy Power!

To resist the potential crisis that might come in the future, Xiao Nian had to improve her strength as quickly as possible!

She stood up and wrapped her arms around Fang Ran, giving him a light kiss.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long.” Fang Ran murmured to himself.

Immediately, he took Xiao Nian to the surface.

“Xiao Qing, take us back to Long Country!”

“Okay!”

The Azure Dragon lowered its body.

Fang Ran took Xiao Nian to its head.

With a whistle, the Azure Dragon rose into the wind, heading towards Long Country at an astonishing speed!

Amidst the howling wind, Fang Ran looked down, seeing a crowd of people still standing at the edge of the mist, gazing into it, completely unaware that he had already left the area.

“Master, Master, I want to too!” Xiao Nian looked at Fang Ran with eager eyes.

Fang Ran took the opportunity to hug her, pressing his lips against her cool gelatinous body.

Xiao Nian trembled with excitement; although she couldn’t describe the feeling, she felt very happy deep down.

...

Long Country.

After everything that had happened, Fang Ran’s posters were plastered all over the streets and alleys of Long Country.

Furthermore, the Beast Taming Association had already begun to connect with each other, creating an organization similar to a national conference—the World Beast Taming Association.

Only those who reached King-level were qualified to enter it.

Meanwhile, at Fang Ran’s home, Aunt and Uncle were watching the news on TV.

The world was changing too quickly, causing many people to feel uneasy, but life remained unchanged, just as before.

“Fang Ran just messaged me back; he’ll be back soon.”

Fang Qihua said.

“Really? That’s wonderful. This child doesn’t even bother to reply to messages. I wonder how Xiao Nian is doing now?” Aunt said worriedly.

Beside the two of them, two tamed beasts, similar in size to medium-sized dogs, lay prostrate.

Those were the contracted pets of Uncle Fang Qihua.

He had now become an official Beast Tamer and had reached a high level.

After all, with the resources provided by Fang Ran, reaching a high level was not difficult!
