Chapter 152: A Beast That Nobody Can Contract
“Ye Xuan.”
When Zhang Jiantong arrived at the dormitory that he arranged for Ye Xuan, he handed him a stack of documents. He said, “This is the Tianshan Base’s Confidentiality Agreement. Please sign your name on it.”
“Alright.”
Ye Xuan nodded, took the documents, had a glance, and realized that it was no more than a regular confidentiality agreement.
The only words written on it were that he must not reveal whatever he saw and heard in the Tianshan Base to the public.
Most certainly, although it was written, Ye Xuan knew that if he truly had leaked this matter and were eventually caught, things would absolutely not end up well for him.
Also, Ye Xuan had a feeling.
Who could enter this place was probably already thoroughly investigated by the Tianshan Base long ago.
Even for him, he might have been secretly investigated by the Tianshan Base for quite some time.
It was also possible that Lin Shiru, Ren Ya, and others might have vouched for him to get into this place ultimately.
The same probably goes to that disciple brought to this place by the vice dean of Qingyun Academy, which he heard not long ago.
Hence, after taking a few glances, Ye Xuan signed his own name on various locations under Zhang Jiantong’s guidance.
“Ye Xuan, although I know that you’re well aware of this, I still have to remind you about this. You must not leak anything about the Tianshan Base, especially the Dragon Horn Planet!”
When Ye Xuan was done signing the documents, Zhang Jiantong put away the Confidentiality Agreement, looked at him, and said solemnly.
“Rest assured, Zhang. I understand.”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Then, he turned to look at Zhang Jiantong with anticipation in his eyes, “Zhang, about the documents on the Bronze level Beasts in the Tianshan Base that you mentioned just now…”
“Haha, I knew that you couldn’t wait.”
Seeing Ye Xuan’s face, Zhang Jiantong said with a smile, “But I think you won’t be satisfied by just looking at the documents.”
“So, when I got back just now, I got someone to get you the videos related to those beasts. I’ll show them to you right now.”
“Thanks a lot, Zhang.”
Hearing him, Ye Xuan’s eyes immediately glistened.
While waiting, Zhang Jiantong stretched out his hand and made a tap on the Personal Auxiliary Watch on this wrist.
Subsequently, a virtual screen was ejected from it.
Latterly, he performed a series of actions, and that screen extended to the front of him and Ye Xuan, forming a screen projection that looked like a 50-inch television.
“As of now, the Tianshan Base is keeping a total of eight Bronze level beasts that are pretty good in grade.”
“Among these eight beasts, three of them are of the five-star grade, while five of them are of the four-star grade.”
Zhang Jiantong looked at Ye Xuan while introducing and tapping on the virtual screen to play a beast video.
The first video that Zhang Jiantong played was the video of a Three-tailed Ice Fox.
In the video, when the three tails of this Three-tailed Ice Fox waved in unison, unceasing amounts of snowflakes abruptly fell from the sky.
As the snowflakes suffused and enveloped, the massive black bear standing at a whole five to six meters tall, that was quickly charging towards the Three-tailed Ice Fox immediately had its movement slowed down.
The falling of the snowflakes in the air hastened immediately, and within a short amount of time, that massive black bear became frozen in place.
“This Three-tailed Ice Fox is one of the three five-star Bronze level Beasts that we have in the Tianshan Base.”
“It excels in Ice Element Spirit Techniques. It has the ability to unleash a wide area of a blizzard. Within its blizzard, everything that it regards as an enemy will get slowed.”
“If it accelerates the snowfall, it could even freeze enemies within the area.”
At this point, Zhang Jiantong looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Besides, the Three-tailed Ice Fox’s Ice Element Spirit Technique even allows it to summon a massive Ice Fox that can sweep over all that exists. This beast is a mighty Magic-type beast.”
“If you lack beasts of this particular type, you may give it a go. Many people in our base really like to have this beast.”
“However, as it is an Intermediate-level Bronze that is about to advance to High-level Bronze, it is difficult for the majority of Beast Tamers who have just entered Bronze level to form a contract with it. Hence, it has always been placed in confinement.”
Hearing him, Ye Xuan nodded.
A five-star Bronze level beast could grow all the way until Diamond level.
Which the level itself was not low at all.
In the meanwhile, Ye Xuan does indeed lack a Magic Element beast.
Although the Thunder Cloud Lightning Wings could be considered a Magic Element Beast, it was not as pure as this Three-tailed Ice Fox.
At the same time, this Three-tailed Ice Fox had a really great appearance.
As soon as Ye Xuan saw it, the idea of forming a contract with it immediately emerged within his mind.
The only thing that kept him back was that this Three-tailed Ice Fox was just an Intermediate-level Bronze.
He was not quite satisfied with that level.
What he wanted were Peak Bronze beasts.
However, even in the Tianshan Base, there were only eight-four to five-star Bonze level beasts.
Hence, if he wished to find a Peak Bronze level beast over here, it might be a little difficult.
He continued to look at the second beast in the video, which Zhang Jiantong had played with that in mind.
This time, the beast that Zhang Jiantong showed him was a black bear.
With a move of its shoulders, a ginormous black bear lifted a massive boulder larger than a house and hurled it away for dozens of meters.
“This is called a Power Bear, and what’s more, the Power Bear King among Power Bears.”
Zhang Jiantong introduced to Ye Xuan, “This Power Bear King has a really thick and durable hide. It can be used as a Tank Type beast, but of course, using it as frontal assault will be even better.”
“This Power Bear King is also an Intermediate-level Bronze. However, it has just only gotten into the level, which kind of makes it easier for talented beast tamers who have just advanced to Bronze level to form a contract with it.”
While Zhang Jiantong was talking, he kept his hands moving and played the third beast’s video.
This time, what Zhang Jiantong showed in the video was a giant silver eagle.
In the video, when the giant silver eagle performed a mere flicker in the void, it created three streaks of shadow.
The three shadows swooped down in different directions which all of them revealed sharp claws.
Three wolves from a wolf pack running on the ground had their bodies penetrated with one single blow.
“This is a Phantom Silver Eagle King. If you need a flying beast, you may have a look at it…”
Zhang Jiantong introduced the beasts to Ye Xuan one after another.
He would give Ye Xuan a recount of its strength and weakness to help Ye Xuan choose for each beast.
However, after he was done introducing all the eight beasts, deep down in Ye Xuan’s heart, he was not quite satisfied with all of them.
Thinking, he could not hold himself back to ask Zhang Jiantong, “Zhang, are these eight Bronze level beasts the only ones in the Tianshan Base?”
“Of course not.”
Hearing him, Zhang Jiantong shook his head and said, “But the rest of the Bronze level beasts are mostly two-stars and three-stars. I don’t think you’d consider beasts of these grades?”
“As for the beasts with a higher grade, these are indeed the only ones.”
“After all, you know that it’s a total waste of resources to keep these things. Usually, when somebody earns enough merits, and a particular beast is suitable for them, we’ll use these beasts as a reward for them.”
“Just yesterday, a four-star beast was given to a Beast Tamer as a reward.”
“However…” Just that at this point in his speech, Zhang Jiantong made a slight pause then said while shaking his head, “In fact, there’s another five-star Bronze level beast in the Tianshan Base.”
“But that beast is an extraordinary one. No one could manage to form a contract with it. For that reason, it has been locked up for almost half a year now.”
Five-star Bronze level Beast?
Nobody could contract it?
Hearing him, Ye Xuan immediately revealed surprise on his face. Unable to contain himself, he asked Zhang Jiantong, “Zhang, can you tell me the particulars of that beast?”
“That beast won’t do, especially for you.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s inquiry, Zhang Jiantong shook his head once again. However, he still explained to Ye Xuan, “That is a Peak Bronze level Beast that looks just like a giant rock.”
“A giant rock that can morph into the appearances of various monsters and often sleeps on the ground.”
“As for what kind of beast it actually beast, we, in fact, have no idea.”
“The only thing we know is that this fella has a compelling defense. It’s difficult for even regular Silver level beasts to harm it. Besides, its resistance level is simply over the charts.”
“Because it is a Peak Bronze level Beast and most Bronze Beast Tamers would’ve already contracted a beast during the earlier phases, the Beast Tamers deployed to contract it are all Silver level Beast Tamers.”
“But even for Silver level Beast Tamers, when they insert their Seed of Beasts into its Spirit Ocean, it wouldn’t respond at all. It just kept sleeping.”
At this point, Zhang Jiantong revealed a peculiar look on his face, “Ye Xuan, I think you’re unaware that a few Dark Iron Warriors actually capture this beast.”
Captured by Dark Iron Warriors?
Ye Xuan immediately revealed a look of astonishment.
A five-star Peak Bronze level Beast, captured by Dark Iron Warriors. Was that a joke or something?
Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, Zhang Jiantong immediately smiled.
When he first learned about this, he was just like Ye Xuan.
Stunned.
Thinking, he opened his mouth and said, “Actually, it isn’t that the beast isn’t powerful. It just sleeps too much.”
“Throughout the entire process from when the few Dark Iron Warriors discovered it to when they brought it back to our base, it was always in a slumbering state.”
Huh?!
Hearing him, Ye Xuan could not help but feel speechless.
What kind of weird beast was that?
And when Zhang Jiantong arrived at this point in his speech, as if he thought of something, he said, “Oh, this beast is different from the beasts that I introduced to you earlier on.”
“I can take you to have a look at this beast.”
“And when you’re looking at it, you can even try to form a contract with it.”
“But of course, you better keep your hopes down.”
“So, I can see it up close and try to contract it?”
But when Ye Xuan heard him, his eyes immediately glistened.
The others might not know what beast that was, but for him, he could do so with just one glance.
Besides, with his Mythic level Beast Taming Aptness, it would not be impossible for him to form a contract with this strange beast.
Most certainly, the prerequisite was that this beast must meet his requirements.
It must not be too bad.
“Zhang, can I trouble you to take me to have a look at that beast?”
Thinking, Ye Xuan opened his mouth and said to Zhang Jiantong.
“No issues.”
When Zhang Jiantong heard him, he immediately stood up and said, “It just so happens that I have to get the documents you signed delivered. The place is on the way. Since you wish to have a look at it, I’ll accompany you there.”
“Thanks a lot, Zhang.”
Ye Xuan put on a gleeful expression.
…
“Is that the beast that you mentioned?”
About three to four minutes later, Ye Xuan followed Zhang Jiantong, arrived before a massive cage made of iron pillars, and saw a black stone tiger lying on its stomach.
Even when lying over there, this black stone tiger was three to four meters tall and was even about ten meters long.
As soon as he saw the black stone tiger, Ye Xuan used his Beast Editor to appraise its attributes.
