CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 335 KUI BULL

"Whoo~"

The Wish-making White Fox let out a sigh.

It was just a little short of mastering the Nine-layered Heavenly Fire, a Spirit Lord Level technique!

The difficulty of training a Spirit Lord Level technique was more than ten times that of a technique of one’s own level!

The Spirit Lord Level technique corresponded to Totem-level Spiritual Beasts.

Even with the boost from the epic-grade dish "Spicy Stir-fried Squid" that increased the proficiency of fire-based techniques, along with the support of the Wish Technique, mastering it was still quite challenging.

"Don’t worry, you’ll succeed eventually. Let’s go to the competition first, and then come back to train."

The Wish-making White Fox wanted to continue practicing the technique, but the young man in white robes next to it opened his eyes, stroked the soft fur on the back of the Little White Fox, and revealed a satisfied expression.

Today’s "Hugging Fox Objective" achieved!

"Whoo?" (So the competition is starting today?)

Xiao Jiu suddenly felt that time had flown by so quickly.

"Yes, today is the preliminary trial. Let’s go!"

"Whoo~"

The Wish-making White Fox nodded, then used a transformation spell to switch to its juvenile form before obediently jumping into Chen Mo’s arms.

The black-haired beauty next to Chen Mo and her Spiritual Beast had also finished their training.

In these days, with the blessing of double ’Scroll Gods,’ the growth of both of their Spiritual Beasts had improved significantly.

Chen Meng’s Jade Qilin Dragon, Canglan Butterfly, Tempest Spirit, and even the Sky-reaching Ancient Treasure, all members had advanced to Overlord Level!

The Unicorn of Light even reached Overlord fifth stage!

An increase of two levels in 10 days, at Overlord Level no less, this rate of leveling up was simply unbelievable!

Xiao Jiu’s fire and lightning elements had both reached Monarch Fifth Rank, while its spirit element slightly lagged behind, achieving Monarch Fourth Rank.

As for the other Spiritual Beasts, they had also increased by about two levels in growth.

Truly leveling up as easily as drinking water.

-------

After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast prepared by Tuantuan, the group arrived at the large square where they had registered before.

This was the location of the preliminary trial.

They were not late, but the square was already crowded with a sea of people and beasts, and the temporary spectator stands built in the sky, which could accommodate a hundred thousand spectators, were packed full of people.

At the moment, the vast square seemed somewhat crowded.

And in the very center of the square, there was an area the size of a soccer field covered by a light veil-like water curtain.

Both contestants and spectators were forbidden to enter.

Inside the water curtain, there was only one gigantic Tide Giant, which was more than 30 meters tall.

It looked a bit like Godzilla, with its robust body covered in successive layers of blue-black scales. Its gloomy pupils emitted an intangible deterrence, giving off a feeling that it was not to be trifled with.

On its limbs were rings of black scales that looked like ancient runes from a distance.

The Tide Giant was a semi-elemental Spiritual Beast that commanded the power of the tides, possessing the ability to easily stir up tremendous waves.

Floating beside the Tide Giant was an exotic-looking woman. Her upper body was that of a seductively curved woman, her beautiful eyes brimming with the mystique of the ocean, with pale blue scales that extended to her chest and abruptly ended, exposing her fair collarbones.

And her lower half consisted of a rapidly spinning vortex.

At the moment, the Tide Witch had a water column in front of her, supporting an ancient zither, much like a grande dame from antiquity.

The Tide Giant and the Tide Witch were, in fact, evolved forms of the Tide Caller.

Male Tide Callers would evolve into a Tide Giant, while the evolutionary path of female Tide Callers led to becoming a Tide Witch.

"Chi!" (Isn’t this a ’Beauty and the Beast’ duo!)

The Little Bluebird couldn’t help but make a quip.

"Indeed."

Chen Mo nodded.

It seemed that the preliminary round of the competition would involve these two Monarch Ninth Rank Spiritual Beasts.

At 8 a.m. sharp.

Inside the water curtain, suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded.

Accompanied by a light as brilliant as the sun and moon, surging water currents slowly coalesced into a cyan figure.

The cyan figure looked like a green ox, but what was bizarre was that it had only one leg.

Its eyes were blood-red, and around its neck was a mane like that of a male lion, giving off an impression as if a demon god had descended.

The Kui Bull.

Another mythological creature.

As the Kui Bull appeared, the entire square instantly fell silent.

This Kui Bull was "Kui Yue," the Totem-level powerful Guardian Beast of Canglan Palace!

Chen Mo had heard the White Dragon Lady talk about this Kui Bull’s history before.

It was the main pet of Canglan Palace’s second Palace Master and was rightfully an elder of Canglan Palace!

Hundreds of years ago, "Kui Yue" was already a Totem level, a being that walked sideways in the Spirit Realm, and now no one knew how strong it was.

Its presence was also one of the important reasons why Canglan Palace could maintain its ruling status in Jizhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will now announce the content of the preliminary test for the Monarch Level of the Canglan Grand Ceremony."

A scholarly voice that was gentle and magnetic resounded in the hearts of every Spirit Master and Spiritual Beast.

This was a high-level application of psychic communication.

The voice of Kui Bull was in great contrast to its appearance.

Everyone was focused, waiting for the Kui Bull to announce the rules.

"The preliminary round requires participating Spiritual Beasts to stand within a specified area, then withstand one minute within the dual Tidal Domains of the Tide Giant and Tide Witch."

"After one minute, if the contestants haven’t left this water curtain, they will have passed the preliminary round!"

The Kui Bull’s mellifluous voice rang out again.

The content of this test was extremely simple and brutal! Surviving for one minute within the dual Tidal Domains would mean passing, otherwise, direct elimination.
