“This is your pass. Take good care of it.” Lin Jiansheng handed a document to Yu Huang. It was a dark
red document with words written in Merman language that Yu Huang did not understand. This
document resembled the Tibetan language that Yu Huang remembered.
Afraid of losing the document, Yu Huang stuffed it into the identification box in the storage device.
Three quarters of the area of Xixia Sea was sea area. If one wanted to go to Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion,
they could only take a boat.
The ferry dock was next to the airport, so they could only walk there. Lin Jiansheng said to Yu Huang,
“This is a barbaric place. Follow me closely.”
“Okay.”
On second thought, Lin Jiansheng thought about how Yu Huang was someone who had been to the
Rakshasa Empire alone. This small commotion would not scare her. Lin Jiansheng continued, “Mermen
orcs are more barbaric and have fiery tempers. They fight whenever they are unhappy. Don’t be a
busybody and don’t watch too much. We have to hurry to the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion. We can’t waste
time and don’t cause trouble.”
“Understood!”
Yu Huang carried her small backpack and followed Lin Jiansheng out of the airport.
When he was out on a long trip, Lin Jiansheng usually would not wear his Level 8 Purifying Spirit
Master red robe. That would be too high-profile and would cause much inconvenience to his personal
schedule.
He was wearing a white T-shirt and a black and white windbreaker. The belt was tight around his robe,
giving him a galiant look.
Most Purifying Spirit Masters looked pure and noble. However, Lin Jiansheng did not look like a
Purifying Spirit Master, but more like a criminal who had been released from a prison.
Most Purifying Spirit Masters looked pure and noble. However, Lin Jiansheng was a traitor. He did not
look like a Purifying Spirit Master, but more like a criminal who had been released from a prison.
The pair attracted attention wherever they went.
Lin Jiansheng noticed the gazes of those people. He did not realize that there was anything wrong with
his image. Instead, he blamed Yu Huang for being too thin. “Look at you. You’re so thin that you’re like
a monkey. The wind can blow you away.”
Lin Jiansheng grabbed Yu Huang’s arm with one hand and easily lifted her up from the ground.

Lin Jiansheng frowned and clicked his tongue with a look of disdain. “From today onwards, I will
prepare a physical training set for you. You look so fragile that it’s quite pitiful. Only if you grow more
muscles, others will be afraid of you when they see you.”
Yu Huang imagined herself covered in muscles and was somewhat frightened. “Mentor, this is called
being strong and thin. Although I’m thin, I’m strong.”
However, Lin Jiansheng had already decided to train Yu Huang for physical fitness. No matter how Yu
Huang argued, he pretended not to hear her.
Fortunately, they arrived at the ticketing hall at this moment. Lin Jiansheng forgot about this topic and
brought Yu Huang to buy a ferry ticket.
Spirit stones were the common currency used in transactions in the Xixia Sea. It took a day to get from
here to the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion, and the ticket prices were different for different cabins. The first
class cabin cost one hundred spirit stones, the second class cabin cost fifty spirit stones, and the
cheapest lower class cabin only cost ten spirit stones.
Lin Jiansheng stared at the ticket price of the lower cabin and hesitated for a while before reluctantly
buying two second-class passenger seats.
Yu Huang was somewhat puzzled when she realized that Lin Jiansheng had bought a second-class
ticket. Logically speaking, with Lin Jiansheng’s status, he would have to take the first class cabin when
he went out.
“Mentor, why don’t you buy a first-class ticket? I heard that there are free meals and outdoor
observation platforms for first-class tickets. The night sky of the Xixia Ocean is very beautiful. It must
be very beautiful to sail on the sea and look at the sea.”
Lin Jiansheng explained, “I can take any form of transportation in the Divine Realm Continent for free,
but after leaving the Divine Realm Continent, all expenses will have to be paid for by me.” Therefore,
he despised the fact that first class cabins were too expensive and not worth it. He could not bear to
spend money.
“Besides, the sky is above your head. Isn’t it the same no matter where you look at it from? Must you
spend that money to look at it from first class?”
Yu Huang vaguely understood the real reason why Lin Jiansheng had been single all these years and
did not marry. It must be because he was too stingy and no woman liked him.
The ferry left at 8 PM sharp.
The sky turned dark before six o’clock. After night fell, the sky was filled with stars. Yu Huang and Lin
Jiansheng stood at the pier and admired the beautiful night sky.
Only when the ferry staff urged the passengers to upload did the master and disciple board the ship.
The moment she boarded the ship, Yu Huang discovered many young boys and girls sitting in the
cabin. They all looked to be about 14 to 15 years old. Almost every child had one or more adults beside
them.
From the looks of it, these were all young Beast Tamers who had just awakened their beast forms this
year.
After taking a seat, Yu Huang asked Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, why is the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion only
open to the public twice a year, and each time, it’s only three days?”
“Because during these six days, the energy in the Time Valley
is relatively stable and safe. Someone once trespassed into the Time Valley during the period of the
Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion’s Passage Pavilion, but he died without even a strand of hair remaining.”
“I see.”
The trip was relatively boring. Yu Huang sat in her seat and read while the other children made friends.
At 11 PM, this group of energetic youths started gambling in the lounge area of the cabin.
When Lin Jiansheng heard the shouting from behind, he could not bear to watch any longer when he
saw that Yu Huang was focused on her studies.
Lin Jiansheng closed the college entrance examination scripture in front of Yu Huang. “Stop looking.
They’re all young people. Go and play too.”
Yu Huang looked helpless. “Mentor, I have to hurry up and study. Otherwise, I won’t be able to become
the top scholar.”
“With me, the top scorer in the country, as your mentor, are you afraid that you won’t be able to become
the top scorer?” Lin Jiansheng raised his thumb and pointed behind him. He moved closer to Yu Huang
and said in a low voice, “They’re all young people. You should take a gamble too.”
Yu Huang shook her head solemnly and rejected him seriously. “No, it’s every citizen’s responsibility to
stay away from illegal gambling and drugs.”
Lin Jiansheng continued to urge her. “Go on! These are all little brats who have money but no place to
spend it. Go and win some money back. On the way back, we can sit in the first class. I heard that the
oyster barbeque in the first class is especially delicious. If you buy a first class ticket, you can eat until
you’re full for free.”
Yu Huang was utterly convinced when she heard this.
She felt that she had acknowledged an unreliable mentor.
“Hurry up!”
Yu Huang could only stand up and walk towards the leisure area.
The coffee table and bar counter in the leisure area had been moved away to become an empty space.
The energetic teenagers formed a circle in the empty space and were engaging in intense gambling.
Yu Huang squeezed into the crowd and realized that they weren’t playing cards, nor were they rolling
dice, nor were they fighting crickets. They were fighting in each other’s beast form.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll the participants released their beast forms. Because there was no cultivation method to enhance
them, these beast forms could only rely on their beast nature to attack.
All sorts of beast forms gathered together, each releasing a different beastly light. The dazzling scene
made Yu Huang gasp in amazement.
Noticing Yu Huang, a beautiful young woman in a black dress raised her chin towards Yu Huang and
asked, “Miss, do you want to participate?”
Before Yu Huang could speak, Lin Jiansheng, who had appeared behind her, spoke up for her. “Yes!”
Yu Huang was somewhat helpless. She turned around and said to Lin Jiansheng, “If I lose, I’ll report
your name and make you lose face.”
“You won’t.”
Only then did Yu Huang ask the group of youths, “What’s the bet?”
A young man with a human head and a snake tail nodded at Yu Huang and greeted her. He then
replied, “Entertainment is the most important thing. No one wins or loses. However, the final victor will
be able to get Supreme Master Sheng’s personal portrait.”
Yu Huang’s mood instantly became complicated. She asked curiously, “Which Supreme Master
Sheng?”
The girl in black blinked at Yu Huang playfully. She blushed and said, “Who else could it be? Sheng
Xiao, the number one genius of Divine Realm Academy who just became a Supreme Master a few
days ago!”
When Sheng Xiao was mentioned, the teenagers all looked invigored.
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes. It was Sheng Xiao’s personal photo?
How could his photo be in the hands of them?!
Yu Huang, who was originally disinterested in this gamble, immediately became motivated.
“Count me in!” Yu Huang extended her right hand, and immediately, a scorching red light appeared on
her palm. The red light converged to form a small duck.
Upon seeing Yu Huang’s beast form, the snake youth asked curiously, “Is your beast form a duck?”
It wasn’t that they were blind, but the appearance of Divine Feather Phoenix when it was a child was
far too deceptive.
Yu Huang didn’t explain. Sometimes, hiding one’s strength was also a way to protect oneself.
The little Phoenix stretched its back on Yu Huang’s palm. When its wings flapped, a thin layer of fire
surrounded the little Phoenix’s body and burned.
Upon seeing this scene, alarm instantly appeared in the snake youth’s eyes. “Why would your duck spit
fire?” The flame was clearly very small, but its aura was very powerful and somewhat extraordinary.
Yu Huang vaguely explained, “My beast form is mixed with the Vermillion Bird’s bloodline, so it can spit
fire..”
