Chapter 433: Chapter 221: Advisor Chen, You’ve Done Nothing but Wrong! (Part 3)
"No need to go to such trouble." Zhou Xu shook his head and quickly said, "You just need to upload your battle recordings from the past two days along with your identity information for review by the Donghuang Beastmaster Association."
Chen Yuan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Wasn’t there supposed to be a Pet Beast battle?"
Pet Beast battle is the best way to test strength.
Zhou Xu’s tone carried a hint of laughter, "Advisor Chen, rules are dead, people are alive."
After a pause, he lowered his voice and added, "Currently, there’s no Beastmaster in Qin Province able to help you with certification battles, and having a High-tier Beastmaster appear soon in Qin Province is thrilling news for the leaders above and all Beastmasters."
"The sooner a High-tier Beastmaster appears, the better."
Since Zhou Xu said so, Chen Yuan hesitated no more and nodded, "Then help me with the certification."
"Okay!" Zhou Xu beamed with joy but restrained his excitement, "Advisor Chen, rest early. I wish you luck in the competition."
Meanwhile,
Taking advantage of the night, Xia Heng walked into his family hotel, and the reception staff on both sides bowed in greeting.
He smiled and nodded, heading straight to the innermost part.
To cheer him on the spot, Xia Heng’s parents had called all the relatives to temporarily stay at a hotel under their company closest to the Battle Hall.
"Third Uncle, I’m here."
Opening the door, Xia Heng went to his Third Uncle.
Third Uncle opened his eyes and smiled, "Our big star is back, do your best in the competition the day after tomorrow."
Xia Heng nodded and then got straight to the point, "Third Uncle, I remember you said a few days ago you found a Spirit Plant that matches the Ink Tree Spirit and can quickly enhance its strength. Is it still around?"
Third Uncle nodded, "It’s here, of course."
After a pause, he glanced at Xia Heng with hesitation, "Do you want to use it now?"
"Yes!" Xia Heng nodded decisively, his eyes firm, "That Advisor Chen has two Tier Three Pet Beasts, and with the Ink Tree Spirit’s current strength, it’s difficult to contend."
"It must become stronger."
"Is that Advisor Chen really that formidable?" Third Uncle looked surprised, "Does he have a family backing him too?"
"Third Uncle, I don’t know about these things." Xia Heng fixed his gaze on Third Uncle, his eyes burning with determination, "I only know the Ink Tree Spirit must become stronger to help me seize the championship."
"I understand." Third Uncle nodded with a smile, "I’ll have that thing sent to your room."
"Okay."
"Wait."
Xia Heng turned to leave but was stopped by Third Uncle, looking back in puzzlement.
"Almost forgot to remind you." Third Uncle seemed to recall something and casually said, "That thing is a very special Tier 4 Spirit Plant, containing wildly turbulent Wood Energy. I got it with a lot of effort, initially planning to give it to you after the Ink Tree Spirit reached Tier Three. But since you need it now, go ahead and use it."
Xia Heng furrowed his brow, "Third Uncle, what do you mean?"
Third Uncle yawned and spoke lazily, "The idea is, it’s best used at Tier Three; otherwise, it might adversely affect the Pet Beast’s body, like potentially restricting future potential."
"After all, the energy inside is very turbulent, and a Tier Two Pet Beast can’t manage it. If used forcibly, it’s akin to forceful nurturing, likely leaving hidden dangers in the body."
"Yet, your task now is winning the championship, and everything else is insignificant."
"First, let this Ink Tree Spirit use this thing to break through to Tier Three and help you become the champion; don’t worry about anything else."
"Anyway..." Third Uncle smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, "Anyway, the Ink Tree Spirit’s potential is somewhat low. After becoming champion, just release its contract, and I’ll help you find a better Pet Beast."
The room’s lights weren’t bright, highlighting Xia Heng’s shifting gaze.
He gazed deeply at Third Uncle, silently turning to leave.
Watching the silent Xia Heng, Third Uncle shook his head.
Returning to his room, staff had already delivered the unusual Tier 4 Spirit Plant.
Xia Heng remained speechless, wanting to throw the Spirit Plant into the trash bin.
Before him, a white flash appeared, and the Ink Tree Spirit freed itself from the Pet Beast space, appearing in front of Xia Heng, staring at the Spirit Plant in Xia Heng’s hand.
Xia Heng hid the Spirit Plant behind him, looking at the Ink Tree Spirit and speaking, "If needing this way to become champion, then I might as well not be a champion."
The Ink Tree Spirit didn’t respond.
Xia Heng furrowed his brow and continued, "I know you want to help me achieve victory, but it’s not necessary to always be the champion."
"Even if I lose to Advisor Chen, I won’t have any regrets."
The Ink Tree Spirit remained silent, but while Xia Heng was unaware, its tendrils silently transformed into tree cells to bind Xia Heng.
"What are you doing?" Xia Heng was startled, the Spirit Plant in his hand falling to the ground.
The remaining tendrils picked up the Spirit Plant, and immediately a vibrant green light symbolizing life quickly spread, enveloping the Ink Tree Spirit entirely.
Xia Heng watched this unfold helplessly.
He was controlled by his own Pet Beast???
Thoughts flooded in, and he wanted to call the Furious Wave Crocodile to rescue him, but the latter seemed slumbering, not reacting.
Xia Heng’s face darkened instantly.
Damn, damn it, these two are in cahoots!
Xia Heng felt furious but helpless, only observing quietly as the Ink Tree Spirit’s aura grew stronger and more surging.
Until the tendrils released him, he looked at the Ink Tree Spirit before him, sighing deeply, "You won’t regret it?"
The Ink Tree Spirit hadn’t answered when a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Regret what?"
Third Uncle entered, smiling cheerfully, "I forgot to tell you, this Spirit Plant’s uniqueness is it tests the bond between the Pet Beast and the Beastmaster; the deeper the bond, the milder the energy, allowing easy absorption."
Xia Heng looked skeptical, "Bond? Third Uncle, are you kidding?"
Third Uncle lightly coughed, "Alright, it’s not that mystical, but this Spirit Plant is indeed special. Its side effect is making the Pet Beast’s temper fiercer."
Xia Heng was surprised, "Then what about those other side effects you mentioned earlier?"
"All lies." Third Uncle waved dismissively.
Xia Heng’s eyes widened, "Third Uncle, how could you lie about something so important!!!"
Third Uncle chuckled, "It’s normal for elders to tease the younger ones occasionally; anyway, this thing has no other adverse effects."
Xia Heng: "..."
Third Uncle: "Alright, now that you’ve broken through, quickly consolidate your strength."
"Third Uncle’s waiting for the moment you lift the championship trophy."
