Chapter 418: Qjongqi Chooses Su Bai

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Han Zhengzhi was currently staring at Su Bai seriously. He felt somewhat intimidated, but at this point, he could not back down.

After going through so much trouble to bring people from the Beastmaster Association to cause trouble, Han Zhengzhi would not let the chance to snatch Qiongqi back from Su Bai slip away.

Han Zhengzhi coldly looked at Su Bai, and the people around them were left dumbfounded by the tension between the two.

Since the others were from the Beastmaster Association, they naturally believed in Han Zhengzhi. However, the fact that Su Bai could bind the Beast and Qiongqi acknowledged each other was apparent. But at this moment, they had to trust Han Zhengzhi.

Moreover, if Han Zhengzhi could really bring Qiongqi back, he and his group could study it more thoroughly. In any case, the Beastmaster Association could not lose.

Su Bai found it quite amusing how Han Zhengzhi was trying so hard. Han Zhengzhi could not find any reasons, and it was funny to see Han Zhengzhi acting so calmly.

Han Zhengzhi maintained a serious posture and nodded to Su Bail s question. Han Zhengzhi said, “Yes, I’m sure!”

Su Bai drank some tea very calmly and said, “In that case, Professor Han, please tell me.”

Han Zhengzhi stared at Su Bai coldly, like a Beast eyeing its prey, and said, “You won’t summon Qiongqi out unless you hear what I have to say, will you? And what if I tell you everything, but you still feel dissatisfied? Wouldn’t you just pretend to go along with it?”

Su Bai could not help but chuckle, “And what if you tell me wrong, and then I summon it out immediately? Wouldn’t that be considered cheating? It’s only a short time since you last saw the Beast. In normal circumstances, even if it has grown stronger, it shouldn’t have changed too much. So, just tell me its characteristics, and I’ll summon it immediately after you finish. If you get everything right, you can take it away. If not, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”

Su Bai knew that he was on his own territory and did not want to start a conflict. After all, he was working alone now, and if anything went wrong with any equipment, he would have to pay for the repairs himself. As the saying goes, “He who takes charge knows the responsibility.”

Su Bai was not short of money, but right now, they had not started taking on many orders yet, so there was not much income for him.

Instead of that, Su Bai might as well ask them to leave. Even if they wanted to fight, they could go somewhere else to fight.

Su Bai raised an eyebrow and looked at Han Zhengzhi. Han Zhengzhi was seriously considering the feasibility of that.

However, Han Zhengzhi was somewhat afraid because he could not grasp Su Bail s true strength. Especially the first time Han Zhengzhi saw Qiongqi, he accurately judged its elements. At that time, Qiongqi had not eaten any Beast-cores or formed a pact with any other Beastmaster. It only appeared to have one element.

But now, Su Bai directly stated for Han Zhengzhi to describe Qiongqi. Yet, Han Zhengzhi hesitated.

Zhengzhi thought about it and realized that he had already seen Qiongqi twice.

He had seen it on video and guessed its elements correctly. Even if there were some changes in its strength, it should not be too different.

Han Zhengzhi sneered and said, “Alright. First of all, Qiongqi has two elements, earth and water. Its strength is at the High-8 Gold level.”

Then, Han Zhengzhi looked at Su Bai proudly because Qiongqi’s strength and attributes were all shown in the surveillance footage. It had only been two days so Han Zhengzhi thought it would not be much different.

This time, Han Zhengzhi was sure of victory.

But Su Bai did not give him that chance. He said, “”There’s nothing right about it.”

Then Su Bai summoned Qiongqi.

“While Professor Han guessed two of its elements correctly, unfortunately, my Qiongqi actually has three elements. Earth, water, and spiritual elements.”

Han Zhengzhi widened his eyes and shouted, “This is impossible! You must have used some method to make it acquire an additional element. This is clearly forbidden!”

Forcibly adding elements to Beasts was indeed considered forbidden in their field. However, Su Bai did not do it forcefully. It was Qiongqi’s own awakening of its hidden element. Even Su Bai was surprised.

“It’s not forbidden. It’s just that Professor Han didn’t figure it out. Qiongqi has its own hidden element that can be unleashed during battles. Furthermore, its strength is not at the Gold-level, but at the Platinum-level!” Su Bai said.

‘If it was a hidden attribute, it could be explained. However, I really did not expect Qiongqi to be at the Platinum-level. What kind of person is Su Bai? How could he make his Beast level up so fast? There was a huge difference between the Gold-level and the Platinum-level.’

Under normal circumstances, such a rapid advancement in just two days should not have been possible. More importantly, Qiongqi in the video did not look like it could skip a level.

Han Zhengzhi clenched his fist and said, “In any case, Qiongqi must come with us!”

However, it seemed like Qiongqi understood what Han Zhengzhi was saying. It instantly revealed its teeth, baring them at Han Zhengzhi, as if it wanted to devour him.

“I can see that you’ve clearly brainwashed it! I don’t know what you used on it to make it obey your commands!” Han Zhengzhi shouted.

Su Bai twitched his mouth and turned to look at the other members of the Beastmaster Association. They seemed somewhat surprised as well.

Earlier Han Zhengzhi was polite and suddenly changed his attitude. Several people were puzzled, but they did not dare to say anything.

One of them whispered, “Professor Han, let’s just go back. That Ancient

Monster doesn’t seem like it was forcefully taken.”

He remembered clearly that whenever Han Zhengzhi approached Qiongqi in the Ancient Forest, it showed a very unfriendly attitude. And now, its attitude towards Han Zhengzhi was the same as before, not at all like what Han

Zhengzhi claimed that the Beastmaster Association had tamed it and Su Bai snatched it away.

Such an Ancient Monster had its own consciousness. They knew who they were following and who they wanted to be with. This was called “choosing a master.”

Another person heard that and quickly persuaded, “Professor Han, we might have misunderstood. This kind of Ancient Monster has already grown up and has its own consciousness. It’s not like an egg waiting for someone to choose it.

It has its own choice. And Su Bai might be the one it chose..”
