Ch 359: Opening The Emperor’s Key, Licking Wounds!
Ocean Race.
In the Central High Tower.
“How is the High Tower opening?”
The Fish-Man Queen asked the people under her command.
“The situation is in our favor, we are about to break through the Tenth Floor’s defense and obtain the Divine Fruit!”
That Ocean Race member looked up, observing the Queen’s expression.
But unexpectedly, she did not show any happiness.
“Hmm, increase the effort, and go catch some more Beast Tamers!” the Fish-Man Queen ordered.
What Divine Fruit… it’s not important at all.
She came here only to get the Key!
That is the true Legacy of Longzhou, the key to her Advancement to Emperor-Rank!
“Queen… some Ocean Race members report that the group of Human Beast Tamers seems to be uniting with the Otherworldly Race!”
“Whatever.”
The Fish-Man Queen waved her hand.
Just a rabble.
“As long as I don’t use my Late King-Rank power, relying on the Limit of Mid-King Rank… Proficient Level King-Rank Skill, who in the Mid-King Rank can do anything to me?”
It can be said that she was already invincible at Mid-King Rank!
But after thinking for a moment.
She spoke again, instructing: “Go, let them guard the Central High Tower, and recall all the Ocean Race tribes.”
“Yes!”
The Ocean Race member hurriedly turned and left.
Only then did a Man come before her.
“Those Resources are insignificant; they will be taken away sooner or later. The Key is the important thing!”
“What is the use of that Key?” The Fish-Man Queen asked, her pupils slightly contracting.
“The Key is naturally for opening a lock. Once the lock is opened, your attainment of Emperor-Rank will be effortless.”
That Man was only a little over ten years old.
Between his brows and eyes, there was a hint of sinister energy.
“Rest assured, I have already established a spiritual connection with you, I will not deceive you!”
“In the past, countless Emperor-Rank strong ones were born in Longzhou, but now they are scarce, and even those Emperor-Rank individuals are the elders of Longzhou. Don’t you want to know why?”
The Man said persuasively.
“That’s because they are fighting for something, and that thing can only be opened with the Key.”
Hearing this.
The Fish-Man Queen’s heart pounded wildly.
That’s right, their Near Sea Royal Family also has an Emperor-Rank existence!
And that Emperor-Rank existence was also born in Longzhou!
“Good, I will do my best to break through the High Tower’s defense!”
“Once I get the Key…”
She yearned deeply for Advancement to Emperor-Rank.
Trapped at Late King-Rank, even changing her Bloodline could not lead to Advancement.
And now, there are Resources that even an Imperial Beast Tamer wants to fight for, making a glimmer of hope appear in her heart!
……
“Fang Ran… Fang Ran… Fang Ran.”
Awakened by a clean and melodious voice.
Fang Ran opened his eyes, and before him was Xiao Tian’s flawless, indifferent face, her body somewhat heavy on his.
“Tell me, who did you go to see last night?”
Xiao Tian’s tone was flat, but it made Fang Ran feel a chill.
She ignored Fang Ran’s words, instead frowning, her eyes filled with faint golden light, as if observing whether he was lying.
“You and Xiao Nian need to train your Skills; I could only let Green Snake protect me.”
“Protect you? It was her?”
Xiao Tian’s expression softened slightly, then turned cold again, saying: “Next time, just come find me, I will protect you.”
“You want to…”
“Train? No Conflict, just move a bed to sleep beside me.”
“Too noisy.”
“Not noisy, just treat it as white noise, or wear earplugs.”
Fang Ran felt a sharp pain in his arm.
He looked to his sides, those delicate hands were pressing firmly on his arms.
It seemed that if he said one wrong word, Fang Ran would immediately become penniless.
“Okay, I’ll sleep with you.”
“Not sleep, it’s to protect you.” Xiao Tian emphasized with furrowed brows.
“Yes, yes, protect me.”
Seeing Fang Ran’s meaningful smile, Xiao Tian was flustered for a moment.
Immediately regaining her composure, she used her left leg to try to get up from Fang Ran.
Fang Ran grabbed her white, small, fleshy leg and pulled her back.
“I’m injured.”
Looking at Xiao Tian’s surprised gaze at his golden pupils, Fang Ran added solemnly: “Didn’t you see the swelling? It’s all because you pressed on me, you are responsible.”
Fang Ran seemed to be daydreaming: “I heard that animals will constantly lick their wounds until their saliva heals the swelling.”
Watching Xiao Tian’s confused expression as her brain raced.
Fang Ran could only grab her Divine Ring; she was pulled to where she should be, as if someone had grabbed her hair.
……
After a long while.
Fang Ran looked tired.
“There’s no way, Fang Ran, Beast Taming is like this; you have to discipline them from time to time, otherwise they will get arrogant. A little education and they will become obedient.”
However, Xiao Tian was worthy of being a King-Rank Beast.
The Healing effect of her saliva was several times stronger than that of unintelligent animals; with persistence, the swelling quickly subsided.
“Leader Fang! The Resources sent by the Human Beast Tamers have arrived!”
“Good! Xiao Tian, let’s go take a look.”
“Hmm…” Xiao Tian nodded with a grim expression, feeling a slight numbness on her tongue.
After a long while.
Fang Ran arrived at the Warehouse.
A large amount of Resources were piled up, all of great value.
“The Beast Tamers also plundered quite a few Resources and Sacred Crystals; these are enough for Xiao Tian to replenish the training consumption.”
Fang Ran’s eyes lit up.
“However, we also need to prepare Gene Points to improve Xiao Tian’s Skill Proficiency, at least to Master Level!”
Xiao Tian’s King-Rank Skill will be completed soon.
After all, her Sacred Power is enormous; with replenishment, her training speed is incredibly fast!
“Take Xiao Nian and Green Snake to deal with the Ocean Race, hunting the Ferocious Beasts wandering in the city!”
Under Longzhou, nearly ten days had passed.
Fang Ran had accumulated enough Gene Points.
And at this time, Xiao Tian’s Skill progress reached its Limit!
【Wielding the God-Slaying Blade, releasing Divine Light（100/100） times!】
“Advance payment for the God-Slaying Blade’s Proficiency!”
【Consuming Gene Points, obtaining God-Slaying Blade – King-Rank（Mastered）!】
【God-Slaying Blade – King-Rank（Mastered）: Forged with Sacred Fire into a Judgment Divine Sword, extremely sharp, but it will consume a huge amount of Sacred Power!】
【Remaining Debt: Use of God-Slaying Blade Sacred Fire state（0/24） hours!】
“Boom!!”
Xiao Tian condensed the God-Slaying Blade.
A Giant Sword formed from a combination of previous weapons appeared!
“Sacred Fire!” She injected Sacred Power to activate it!
The God-Slaying Blade burned with violent Sacred Fire, consuming Xiao Tian’s Sacred Power frantically like a pump!
She wielded the God-Slaying Blade, a wave of Sacred Fire flew out, cutting down a large area of forest, reaching the far distance!
“It consumes too much Sacred Power!”
Xiao Tian hurriedly deactivated the Skill.
It carries the partial effectiveness of all previous weapons!
For example, that Light Wave carries a partial Tracking effect, and the weapon also has the ability to burn the souls of Evil Spirits!
“Okay, with your current level, dealing with Mid-King Rank should be easy?”
“Almost.” Xiao Tian’s face showed a hint of joy, greatly enjoying the feeling of power.
A few hours later, Norwich from the Beautiful Country sent a message.
“The Tenth Floor is about to be opened, the Divine Fruit is about to appear!”
“Divine Fruit? Should I act now?”
Fang Ran asked.
“No, Mick and the others will help you clear the obstacles; you deal with the Ocean Race Leader.”
Norwich added: “Just lure her away; Jack and the others will handle the other Ferocious Beasts in the High Tower!”
Immediately, Norwich seemed hesitant: “What are your chances of winning? That Ocean Race Leader might be far stronger than you think!”
This was no exaggeration; many of them did not think Fang Ran would win.
Their plan was only to temporarily lure her away, then reap the benefits!
