CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: REUNION WITH WEI YUAN! THE MYTH RETURNS!

When the blinding light dissipated, Gu Xing found himself standing on a cloud platform suffused with prismatic glow.

Beneath his feet was a translucent crystal floor, faintly visible was the slowly flowing liquid energy below.

This was the water of the Holy Pool, condensed from the purest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power!

"Is this... the Beast Taming Holy Pool?"

Gu Xing gazed at the scene before him in shock.

The entire space seemed like a fairyland, with a massive pool radiating golden splendor.

"A new Monarch Level? No, wait! That Spiritual Power intensity... Extraordinary Level?!"

"Since when could Extraordinary Level enter the Holy Pool? Throw him out!"

Several Monarch Level experts noticed Gu Xing’s presence and began to discuss animatedly.

One of the elders in a red robe even raised his hand intending to expel Gu Xing from the Holy Pool space.

Just as the elder’s Spiritual Power was about to touch Gu Xing...

"Stop!"

A commanding voice rang out like thunder.

The water’s surface in the center of the Holy Pool suddenly surged violently, and a towering figure appeared instantly beside Gu Xing, the gust of wind even dispersing the elder’s Spiritual Power waves.

Gu Xing turned his head, his pupils contracting suddenly:

"Commander Wei?!"

Standing before him was none other than the highest commander of the Southern Military Region...

Wei Yuan!

Yet Wei Yuan appeared somewhat puzzled at this moment.

Wasn’t Gu Xing’s level Extraordinary?

Why was he here?

Gu Xing immediately got the hint and succinctly explained the assessment set by Long Zhenguo.

When Wei Yuan heard "single-handedly subduing over a thousand of the same level," his unwavering face showed a rare trace of astonishment.

Although he already knew about Gu Xing’s impressive strength and talent, he did not expect Gu Xing to reach such an extent!

Gu Xing passing the Abyssal-level trials was indeed a great help to him.

Furthermore, he learned that Gu Xing hadn’t been specially recruited into a university.

Therefore, he personally wrote a recommendation letter and sent it to various university admissions offices.

His intention was to help Gu Xing gain some benefits.

But he didn’t expect...

Gu Xing not only gained significant benefits but also qualified to enter the Holy Pool.

"Commander Wei, thank you for the recommendation letter you wrote at that time!"

Gu Xing also understood that without Wei Yuan’s recommendation, it would have been impossible for Long Zhenguo to personally recruit him.

And he even agreed to such an outrageous condition.

However, Wei Yuan shook his head, wearing an expression of appreciation:

"If your talent didn’t reach such heights, you wouldn’t have been able to gain these benefits. This is all the result of your own effort!"

"But the people here are not friendly, you better stay by my side!"

Gu Xing nodded.

He had indeed felt just now that the Monarch Level Beast Masters here were rather hostile.

Without much provocation, they wanted to expel him from the Holy Pool.

Being by Wei Yuan’s side was naturally much safer.

"Where did this connected insider come from? An Extraordinary Level in the Holy Pool is one thing, but Wei Yuan even offers personal protection."

"But an Extraordinary Level in the Holy Pool is useless! Could he really absorb the energy here?"

"Indeed, he might just willingly leave soon enough!"

Several mocking voices came from the edge of the Holy Pool.

Wei Yuan’s gaze suddenly turned icy, his sharp look sweeping across like a blade...

Instantly, those people fell silent.

If Long Zhenguo was acknowledged as the top power in Longxia Country,

then Wei Yuan and the other three military district leaders were second only to him.

These newly promoted Monarch Level Beast Masters did not even have the right to breathe loudly in front of Wei Yuan.

"Scram."

With just one simple word, those disrespectful Monarch Levels turned and left hastily, not daring to look back.

However, what those Monarch Levels said was not without reason.

"The energy of the Holy Pool becomes more violent towards the center, with your current strength..."

At this point, Wei Yuan chose his words carefully:

"It’s best to only let your Guardian Beast operate in the outer edges."

This was already a very conservative remark.

The Beast Taming Holy Pool was restricted to Monarch Level entries not only for their strategic value but also because the energy of the pool required at least Commander Level to withstand.

Even in the outer edges...

An Extraordinary Level Beast Master could suffer severe injuries from reckless contact!

The reason Wei Yuan offered such advice was entirely considering Gu Xing’s Legendary Level Guardian Beast.

With a Legendary Level constitution, it might withstand the edge for a while.

Though the Guardian Beast could enter, the Beast Master himself...

Without awakening the Domain, don’t even think about touching it!

Gu Xing knew that Wei Yuan’s words were for his good, so he solemnly nodded.

Then, Gu Xing slowly approached the Beast Taming Holy Pool.

As he got closer, Gu Xing discovered the pool’s liquid was actually gaseous, appearing liquid only due to its high concentration.

However, perhaps it was precisely because of this that it could successfully awaken the Natural Spirit.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xing summoned the Natural Spirit, placing it in the Beast Taming Holy Pool.

The mint-green Light Cocoon elicited a dazzling light instantaneously upon touching the Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi in the pool, as if summoned, fervently converged on the Light Cocoon, forming a small whirlpool of Spiritual Qi in the blink of an eye.

Monarch Level Beast Masters observing this scene gasped in surprise:

"What’s going on with this Guardian Beast? Isn’t it Extraordinary Level? How is it absorbing the Holy Pool energy so fiercely?"

"Something’s not right, even with Legendary-grade Talent, it shouldn’t withstand such energy impact at Extraordinary Level?"

An Extraordinary Level Guardian Beast, completely unfazed by the Holy Pool’s ferocity?

What grade of Talent could this Guardian Beast possibly have?

Wei Yuan’s eyes gleamed brightly, his Spiritual Power rapidly scanning the Natural Spirit.

The next second, this war-weathered general was struck like thunder, frozen where he stood.

Mythical... Mythical Level?!

Dazed for a moment, Wei Yuan immediately sprung into action, summoning a light blue Barrier which swiftly enveloped Gu Xing.

The first Mythical Level Guardian Beast in human history...

This discovery made his breathing even more labored.

No wonder Long Zhenguo permitted Gu Xing to enter the Beast Taming Holy Pool!

It was because of this Mythical Level Guardian Beast!

At this moment, all his attention was captured by the Natural Spirit, this was truly humanity’s treasure!

However, Gu Xing at the Holy Pool’s edge was daringly teetering on the brink of disaster.

At this moment, his full attention was absorbed by the Holy Pool...

The Tree of Life in the Beast Taming Space was swaying frenetically, every leaf transmitting the same message:

Go in! Quickly go in!

This intense prompting left Gu Xing somewhat perplexed.

Wasn’t it said that Extraordinary Level shouldn’t touch the Holy Pool?

Yet, as if guided by an unseen force, he slowly extended his finger, gently touching the pool water...

To his surprise, the expected pain didn’t come.

What he felt at his fingertips was an indescribable sensation of pleasure, as if countless pores were simultaneously infused with sweet spring water.

Even more incredible was that the once-violent Spiritual Qi flowed endlessly through his meridians into the Beast Taming Space, as if homing swallows returning to their nest.

"This is..."

In his inner mind, Gu Xing saw the Tree of Life greedily devouring the influx of Spiritual Qi, each leaf exuding an emerald glow.

What surprised him even more was that in the Beast Taming Space, Liu Li was transmitting a strong yearning.

Gu Xing swallowed hard, glancing surreptitiously at the still-startled Wei Yuan.

Since even Principal Long broke the rules for me to enter, then...

Absorbing a bit more shouldn’t be an issue, right?!
