Chapter 894: Chapter 423: The Crimson Heart!_2
Jiang Tuo was working incessantly, strengthening the three ice-attribute Catastrophe Class Ghost System Beasts he had just fused with.
Both of them were exceptionally diligent.
Fang Mu cleared his throat, drawing their attention to himself.
“Ah Tao, Xiao Tuo, you mustn’t stay up so late, even if you are working hard in the future!”
“Only with sufficient sleep can you improve the efficiency of your meditation the next day!”
“Meditating near the Sacred Relics Falling Cherry Essence Carp can cause a stinging sensation in your spiritual power.”
“Without proper rest, it will be hard to endure!”
Hu Tao and Jiang Tuo nodded their heads hurriedly upon hearing this.
Both were night owls and used to going to bed late.
Hu Tao had no particular talent for cultural knowledge and relied on hard work at night.
However, compared to studying for an extra couple of hours at night, enhancing spiritual power was undoubtedly more crucial.
Otherwise, they would be wasting the opportunity Fang Mu had given them.
Sacred Relics could not be obtained so easily!
Among the various Sacred Relics, the Falling Cherry Essence Carp was also an outstanding existence.
Seeing that the two had taken his words to heart, Fang Mu pointed towards the dark room and said to Hu Tao with a smile,
“Ah Tao, your Iron-winged Sparrow has now evolved into a City Protecting Magpie by activating the bloodlines of the Phoenix and the Barrier Sparrow in its body, according to my design.”
“Because this little one has eaten two large bites of Sleep Moss, it probably won’t wake up until tomorrow afternoon.”
“Then, you can try to compete in the Battle Network.”
As he said this, Fang Mu paused, then spoke to Hu Tao very seriously,
“Ah Tao, you have always had a misconception, which is that you put too much emphasis on your individual combat strength.”
“But your City Protecting Magpie’s abilities are more oriented towards team defense.”
“When you are bonded to only one Guardian Beast, you’ll be at a significant disadvantage when facing opponents on the Battle Network.”
“The Battle Network’s Ranking also has a two-player and a five-player mode. You could randomly match a few two-player games, or I could simply accompany you for a few 2V2 battles.”
“You’ll see how strong your City Protecting Magpie is in terms of team abilities!”
Fang Mu was very earnest as he spoke.
During his time at Dragon Rise Federation High School, the school did not teach about combat; the focus was rather on cultural education and personal combat experience.
Fang Mu felt this was also a major reason for Hu Tao’s lack of self-confidence.
At these words, Hu Tao’s eyes lit up suddenly.
Even before she could become a Beast Master, Hu Tao had entertained the idea of fighting alongside Fang Mu.
Now she finally had the opportunity to do just that.
Having witnessed Fang Mu’s strength, Hu Tao knew how formidable a teammate Fang Mu was!
“Fang Mu, come to my house for dinner tomorrow night.”
“After we return, we will start off with a few matches!”
Fang Mu looked at Hu Tao’s excited expression and couldn’t help but laugh inwardly,
If the City Protecting Magpie were awake now, Hu Tao would probably be dragging him off to the excitement of duo queue right away!
Jiang Tuo watched Fang Mu invite Hu Tao, feeling quite envious.
Jiang Tuo knew that he lacked the strength to fight alongside Fang Mu at the moment.
For the Ice Mirror Cat, Hair-Eating Ice Crone, and Zhanbing Guhuo, even with the resources provided by Fang Mu, reaching the Silver Stage would take at least two weeks.
Moreover, his situation was special, and his Guardian Beasts’ abilities were not suitable for public display.
But since Fang Mu had chosen him as a teammate, Jiang Tuo was sure he would have the opportunity to fight alongside Fang Mu in the future!
After chatting with Jiang Tuo and Hu Tao for a bit, Fang Mu returned to his own room.
Back in his room, Fang Mu immediately contacted Shu Liangjun.
“Elder Shu, are you still keeping an eye on those High-Level Blood Tribe members?”
After receiving Fang Mu’s message, Shu Liangjun responded to Fang Mu through the mark engraved by the Dao Protector on Fang Mu’s soul,
“Ever since you asked me to pay attention to the Blood Tribe, I’ve been monitoring them.”
“Due to the earlier restlessness, these members of the Blood Tribe took out the Crimson Heart responsible for communicating with the Blood Race Queen.”
“Most likely, they’ve already informed the queen in the background about the situation.”
“I’m quite curious about what it is in JA City that can attract the attention of a Blood Race Queen!”
Fang Mu summoned the Blood of Abundance without batting an eyelid.
In an instant, blood red fog enveloped Fang Mu’s room.
Fang Mu’s soul received Shu Liangjun’s voice once again.
“Ah Mu, these members of the Blood Race are stirred up again, moving towards the direction of the central city district!”
Fang Mu, upon hearing this, felt almost certain that it was the aura emitted by his own Lifelong Beasmaster’s Blood of Abundance that attracted the Blood Race.
This realization sent a shiver of fear through Fang Mu’s heart.
It was not long since Fang Mu had become a Beast Master, and he had improved the quality of the Blood of Abundance at his family’s abandoned cultivation base in the suburbs.
It was very likely that it was during that time that the Blood Race noticed the presence of the Blood of Abundance.
At that time, Fang Mu had absolutely no ability to protect himself.
It was fortunate that he had only spent a few nights at the cultivation base on the outskirts; otherwise, if he had encountered a high-level Blood Tribe member, he would have lost his life long ago!
Fang Mu didn’t immediately withdraw the Blood of Abundance, but instead, he gathered back the blood red fog.
Fang Mu only heard Shu Liangjun’s puzzled voice.
“Ah Mu, these Blood Race members have suddenly stopped their movement, probably because they’ve lost the scent of that object.”
“The Blood Race Queen is of great significance to the Blood Race, and if we attack a Blood Race Queen and cause her to die in JA City,”
“it could very likely draw the attention of the Blood Race towards the Dragon Rising Federation!”
“I suggest that if you wish to eliminate these Blood Race members in one fell swoop, we should first find what the Blood Race is seeking and then lure them outside of the Dragon Rising Federation!”
Knowing that the Dragon Rising Federation was Fang Mu’s homeland, Shu Liangjun made this suggestion with that in mind.
After mulling it over for a moment, Fang Mu responded.
“Elder Shu, what the Blood Race is looking for might very well be a treasure that my master occasionally uses.”
“I need to contact my master to ascertain the situation.”
“If that is the case, I will take out the treasure”
“to prevent these Blood Race members from disturbing my master’s seclusion!”
After understanding why the Blood Race was lurking in JA City, Fang Mu felt a deep sense of regret.
Fang Mu had not anticipated that the Blood Race’s involvement in the Evil Heart Sect’s actions in JA City was due to him!
Fang Mu was unwilling to further affect the entire Dragon Rising Federation because of his own actions.
Therefore, resolving this matter in the Outer Realm was the only option.
When in doubt, presenting Qixing as a decoy was the best solution to the problem.
Since the treasure sought by the Blood Race was in his master’s hands, Shu Liangjun, despite his curiosity, refrained from probing further. @@novelbin@@
Even though this could expose to Shu Liangjun that the item needed by the Blood Race was with him,
Fang Mu trusted Shu Liangjun implicitly.
Firstly, because Shu Liangjun wanted to extend his life and needed Fang Mu’s help to do so.
Secondly, Fang Mu could sense the affection Shu Liangjun had for him.
Shu Liangjun treated him as a junior, wholeheartedly wishing him well.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have volunteered to become his Dao Protector!
Even if Shu Liangjun did not become his Dao Protector, Shu Liangjun had already received Fang Mu’s promise to extend his life.
Fang Mu was unaware that his words had caused a stir in Shu Liangjun’s heart.
Shu Liangjun was now certain that Fang Mu’s Master Qixing was a Saint Creator.
Fang Mu’s repeated mention of Qixing being in seclusion made Shu Liangjun suddenly think, why would a Saint Creator need to seclude themselves for cultivation?
Could it be that Qixing, on top of being a Saint Creator, was facing a breakthrough?
This realization may have enlightened Shu Liangjun as to why Qixing chose to live in seclusion.
Qixing possessed a method to extend his lifespan and was most likely an ancient creature with an extremely long life.
Previously, Shu Liangjun had speculated that Qixing was very young, but now the level of Qixing as a Creator forced Shu Liangjun to overturn his earlier guess.
How could a young person become a Saint Creator and attempt a breakthrough on that basis?
Being a Creator is a profession that requires vast experience to mature.
Every bit of additional understanding Shu Liangjun gained about Qixing shocked him inwardly.
Fang Mu was unaware of the thoughts in Shu Liangjun’s mind, but if he knew, he would certainly have to remark to himself,
“Self ‘Deification’ is simply too terrifying!”
What do you think?
