Chapter 684: Meeting Hall Master Han Again

"You... can fly?"

Seeing the man and beast below crash heavily, raising a mushroom cloud, their fate unknown, Yu Fei'er stared wide-eyed at the young man before her, as if she had seen a ghost.

Wasn't flying a privilege exclusive to Saint Domain experts?

You're only at the Harmony Realm—how did you do it?

"Qiqi, did you know about this before?"

Remembering Luo Qiqi's confident demeanor earlier, Yu Fei'er finally realized and couldn't help asking.

"In that underground palace before, Teacher Zhang used this move to save me..."

Luo Qiqi said a sentence, then couldn't help looking over, full of curiosity: "Teacher, how can you fly?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but never had the chance.

Being able to fly without reaching the Saint Domain—if the news got out, it would absolutely drive countless people into a frenzy and bring endless disasters.

"Oh, it's a magical artifact given to me by my teacher. It's not really flying, just short-term gliding, and it has flaws—it consumes a huge amount of true energy, and I can't sustain it for long!"

Zhang Xuan, adhering to the principle of attributing anything inexplicable to 'Yang Xuan,' continued.

"A magical artifact? Teacher Yang is truly remarkable!"

Hearing that it was again Teacher Yang's doing, the two looked envious.

Having such a powerful teacher who was willing to give students so many treasures—this Teacher Yang really valued him.

"This item is quite rare. I hope you two won't spread it around, to avoid trouble!" Seeing that pushing it onto his 'teacher' had indeed stopped them from asking further, Zhang Xuan smiled.

"Don't worry!"

Luo Qiqi and Yu Fei'er nodded simultaneously.

Since it involved a master teacher of Teacher Yang's level, even if they were asked to tell, they wouldn't dare.

Besides, if they did, Teacher Zhang would definitely be in trouble, and they wouldn't do that.

As the three spoke, they slowly descended from the air.

Zhang Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

With his current cultivation, flying alone would be fine for half an hour without major issues, but using true energy to grab two people and fly together was somewhat strenuous.

Fortunately, it was just descending, not moving forward; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have lasted long and would have plunged down like Qin Zhong earlier.

"That guy... won't he die from the fall?" Luo Qiqi couldn't help asking.

In a large pit not far away, a man and a beast lay sprawled. The beast was still conscious, but the man, already injured before, fell from such a height, and with new injuries added to old, could no longer bear it and directly passed out.

"This Qin Zhong is a Bridge Heaven Realm expert. Falling from over a thousand meters—how could he die so easily?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Back when Teacher Feng and others surrounded him, he fell from over a thousand meters and didn't die. Even if this guy was severely injured by the puppet earlier, as a young hall master with a full set of magical artifacts, how could anything happen to him?

At worst, he'd be severely injured. Dying isn't that easy.

"He's unconscious, but you're still awake. Why don't you quickly take us to the Beast Hall?"

After explaining, Zhang Xuan looked at the Azure Leaf Dragon Wing Beast lying nearby.

At this moment, the huge beast was also injured, but not unconscious. It glanced over, trembling.

"Roar!"

Hearing this, though full of fear, it still struggled to its feet and came over.

It possessed dragon bloodline and had a natural fear of Zhang Xuan's dragon language; now that he commanded, it naturally obeyed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three jumped onto the beast's back, ignoring Qin Zhong, who was still unconscious and bewildered in the pit, and flew straight toward the Beast Hall.

This arrogant fellow needed only a lesson; this incident should be enough to remember for life and never dare to talk nonsense again.

They had already flown a considerable distance before, and now the Azure Leaf Dragon Wing Beast used all its strength. Before long, they arrived at the Beast Hall.

The Beast Hall of the Huanyu Empire was clearly more magnificent than any they had seen before. Countless spirit beasts flew in the sky, their cries echoing across the plains. Even before approaching, it felt like a bustling town.

Still a few hundred meters from the Beast Hall, Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi dismounted from the beast's back.

This creature was the tamed pet of the other party's young hall master. If they rode it straight in, it would certainly cause a lot of trouble, and explaining would waste even more breath. Better to avoid trouble when possible.

As for why not ride it directly to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, the reason was even simpler.

The Hongyuan Empire was over a million kilometers away. Although this Azure Leaf Dragon Wing Beast was at the Harmony Realm, flying there would take at least a month and a half.

If it took that long, everything would be cold!

With less than a month until the start of school, the Huanyu Empire Beast Hall surely had higher-level spirit beasts.

Entering the Beast Hall's main hall, the three were immediately startled by the crowded crowd.

The Huanyu Empire was vast, and countless people came to the Beast Hall every day to borrow spirit beasts.

There were over a dozen rows, each with hundreds of people, a dense black mass. Some even lined up many days, even a month or two in advance.

"The Beast Hall's spirit beasts and savage beasts are limited; only a portion can be dispatched each day. So no matter how many people line up, not all can get a slot!"

Looking at the crowded flow of people, Luo Qiqi smiled bitterly.

The Beast Hall had a limited number of tamers and spirit beasts, so naturally not everyone could ride. Those who lined up daily got slots; those without had to wait for the next day, the third day, or even longer!

"Yes, at the Hongyuan Empire Beast Hall, some people line up for a month or two and still can't get a slot. Even if the Huanyu Empire has slightly fewer people, if we really line up, without ten days or half a month, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Yu Fei'er nodded.

Every empire had countless professionals and countless experts, but the Beast Hall was limited. Riding spirit beasts to distant places had always been a major problem, a headache hard to solve.

"If only Ye Qian were here. He's familiar with the people here and could borrow a spirit beast more conveniently, maybe without lining up!" Luo Qiqi smiled bitterly.

"If he were here, why would we even come here? The imperial family should have spirit beasts. Let him casually bring a few over—wouldn't that be simple?"

Yu Fei'er nodded.

When it came to spirit beasts, the Beast Hall naturally had the most and the highest level, but the Huanyu Empire's imperial family also had quite a few flying spirit beasts. Back then, Teacher Hong and others had ridden the imperial flying boat away.

If Ye Qian were here, with his crown prince status, he could casually borrow one or two powerful ones, sparing them the trouble of searching here.

With so many people, finding a suitable spirit beast was too troublesome.

"Forget it. Borrowing a spirit beast from the empire involves complicated procedures and requires repaying favors. It's better to reveal our identities and go directly to the Beast Hall master!"

Luo Qiqi said.

Normally, with Yu Fei'er's status, even if Ye Qian weren't here, borrowing a few spirit beasts from Ye Wentian would be easy.

But as the princess of the Hongyuan Empire and a master teacher, once she asked, she would owe a favor. It was more straightforward to rent directly from the Beast Hall.

Renting from the Beast Hall—others had to queue, but master teachers didn't. That was a privilege!

Moreover, they had both reached the five-star level; they could certainly find the hall master or the person in charge to get a better tamer and spirit beast.

"Let's go!"

Having said that, no longer hesitating, she took a few steps forward. Suddenly remembering something, Luo Qiqi stopped and looked at the young man nearby: "Teacher Zhang, you're a beast tamer. Do you know anyone here?"

"This is my first time here. How would I know anyone?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

He had only come to the Huanyu capital for the first time, and after arriving, he hadn't gone out much. Where would he find acquaintances?

"That's true..."

Remembering that Teacher Zhang had arrived even later than them, even if he were a beast tamer, he couldn't possibly know people here.

"Alright!"

Sighing, Luo Qiqi looked around and was about to find someone to ask where to find the person in charge when a voice full of surprise rang out.

"Teacher Zhang... why are you here?"

Turning to look, they saw an old man walking over excitedly.

"Hall Master Han?"

Zhang Xuan's eyes fell on the old man, and he was stunned.

It was none other than Han Chong, the Beast Hall master of Wanguo City he had met when subduing the Yaochen Beast!

What was he doing here?

"Thanks to Teacher Zhang's treatment, I was able to surpass Luo Ming in the competition and earn the opportunity to study in the Huanyu Empire..."

Han Chong was full of smiles.

He had previously suffered from a hidden injury and was determined to subdue the Yaochen Beast to defeat his opponent. Later, he met Zhang Xuan, who not only saved him but also helped cure his hidden injury, allowing him to break through and gain the chance to enter a higher-level Beast Hall to learn more advanced taming knowledge.

It could be said that Zhang Xuan was his benefactor.

Without Teacher Zhang, there would be no him today!

He thought he would never see this super genius again, but unexpectedly, he met him here.

"It's still your own strength. I just lent a hand!"

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan finally understood.

He had indeed heard about it back then. If not for this opportunity, he wouldn't have spent three whole years trying to subdue the Yaochen Beast.

"Teacher Zhang is too kind!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Han Chong finally asked: "Teacher Zhang, have you come this time to take the five-star beast tamer exam, or..."

"Oh, we plan to go to the Hongyuan Empire and want to borrow a spirit beast with good endurance and speed!"

Zhang Xuan smiled: "Could Hall Master Han possibly help find one?"

"That's simple. I'll take you to the beast area!"

Hearing it was such a trivial matter, Han Chong quickly nodded.

Although he came from the Wanguo City branch, having once been a hall master, his status was still not low. Helping find a spirit beast was nothing.

"Then thank you, Hall Master Han!"

Zhang Xuan smiled.

"Teacher Zhang, no need to be polite. Also, don't call me hall master anymore. Here, I'm just an ordinary four-star beast tamer! Just call me Beast Tamer Han."

Han Chong shook his head.

He was a hall master at the Wanguo City branch, but here, there were many of higher rank. He could only be considered an ordinary beast tamer, slightly higher in status.

Calling him 'hall master' again would be presumptuous.

"Alright!"

Zhang Xuan nodded and followed closely behind, heading toward the beast area where the Beast Hall housed its spirit beasts.

Seeing that he had just said he knew no one and was now leaving cheerfully chatting with a four-star beast tamer, Yu Fei'er and Luo Qiqi exchanged glances and rolled their eyes.

You call that not knowing anyone?

Lying to ghosts!

Why did this Teacher Zhang sometimes seem so righteous and sometimes so unreliable?
