Chapter 705: This is my big brother!
"What, big brother, you're leaving?"
"Yeah, the moon has its ups and downs, and people have joys and sorrows. Sooner or later, the two of us brothers have to part." Fang Jueyu said.
Unknowingly, he had stayed in this Divine Tomb for almost a year. During this time, he learned a vast amount of knowledge from the Wanshen Manor, and his power, thanks to the Life Crystal Core of the fierce beasts caught by Jin Gang, had risen to the Divine Ability User level. Such speed was terrifying, as if he were riding a rocket!
He glanced at the points on the leaderboard; the fight for the top 100,000 was already in a heated and intense phase. In over a year at the Divine Tomb, he had barely gained any points. If this continued, he feared he would really be eliminated.
Although Fang Jueyu wasn't particularly concerned about the entrance qualification to the Cosmic Federation School, it was his family's wish, and finding a proper teacher there would really benefit him.
Most importantly, he had grudges that remained unavenged. The schemes orchestrated by Liu Qi and others at the Wanshen Manor against him had not been forgotten.
"Indeed," Jin Gang nodded, understanding this logic. Although following Fang Jueyu meant eating delicious food every day, he also longed to leave this Root Universe and explore the human world. After being stuck here for billions of years, he had grown weary.
"But before that, I want to visit the ruins deep in this Root Universe," Fang Jueyu said.
The depths of this Root Universe were off-limits to humans, with many unexplored ruins. In normal times, even with ten times the courage, Fang Jueyu wouldn't dare enter carelessly.
But now, with Jin Gang, a demigod-level follower by his side, and if he were willing, he could even summon tens of thousands of demigod puppets. There was nowhere in this Root Universe he couldn't go.
"All right, then I'll accompany you, big brother!"
...
"Woof woof woof!"
"Doggie, there's treasure here too?"
"Woof woof woof!"
"Let's go! Check it out!"
As Fang Jueyu and Jin Gang flew towards the outskirts of the Root Universe, they scoured the ruins long destroyed, particularly utilizing Doggie's special ability to sense treasures. Fang Jueyu wouldn't pass up on anything valuable in those ruins!
"Boom!" Fang Jueyu stepped into the entrance of a castle occupied by fierce beasts.
Sensing the human presence, the beasts inside the castle rushed out like a tide.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me?" Fang Jueyu extended two fingers, and a sharp Sword Qi spread out, "All Swords Return to the Root!"
In an instant, countless sword shadows enveloped the fortress. Any beast below Controller Level, whether Divine Ability User Level eight or nine, was effortlessly sliced to pieces by the Sword Qi. Fang Jueyu's points skyrocketed at an astonishing rate.
"Exhilarating! Exhilarating!" This breakthrough let Fang Jueyu's strength surge, and he even had the urge to find a Controller for a fight immediately!
"Boom boom boom!" Several Controller-level fierce beasts occupying this castle escorted a creature resembling a lion out, a Transcender-level beast.
"Hmm? A human of Divine Ability User level?" The Transcender beast thought a remarkable human Martial Artist had arrived and spoke, "Hahaha, just a mere Divine Ability User Martial Artist dares to step onto my territory? Courting death!"
"Get lost, this fortress is claimed by your grandpa Fang with a smile!" Fang Jueyu arrogantly raised a middle finger, "Bring out everything valuable from this castle! Or I promise you'll beg me to spare you later!"
"Human, you're courting death!" The beast had consumed countless human Martial Artists, but to be provoked by a human Martial Artist of Divine Ability User level was unprecedented.
"Tear this human apart for me!" The Transcender beast raised its paw, and two Controller-level fierce beasts charged at Fang Jueyu with malicious intent.
"Dare to touch my big brother! Courting death!" At this moment, a dozens-of-yards-tall fierce beast covered in black and white fur descended from the sky, smashing the two Controller-level beasts with one stomp!
The Transcender beast's pupils showed endless fear, "Beast…Beast King!"
In the world of fierce beasts, a Transcender-level beast was a Beast Venerate, and a demigod-level beast was a Beast King. Yet, there were very few Beast Kings in the entire universe.
As for the Root Universe's Beast King, there was only one: Jin Gang, residing in the Divine Tomb for eons! Therefore, even though these Beast Venerates roamed unchecked on the outskirts of the Root Universe, the Divine Tomb was forbidden to them because even Beast Venerates could become Jin Gang's food if they weren't careful.
But wasn't that Beast King never supposed to leave the Divine Tomb? This place was quite far from the tomb, so why was the Beast King with a human companion?
And just now, he even called the human "big brother?"
"Big brother, should I kill it?" Jin Gang's presence enveloped the lion-like Transcender beast, and despite its desperate struggle, it couldn't move under Jin Gang's aura. The gap between a demigod and a Transcender was beyond words.
"No need to kill!" Fang Jueyu walked behind the Beast Venerate, suddenly leaped onto its back, "Wow, I've patted dogs, patted cats, patted... cough cough, but it's my first time patting a Transcender beast. This fur is even softer than a ragdoll cat!"
Humiliation! Enormous humiliation!
Beasts already had massive racial tensions with human Martial Artists, and ordinary fierce beasts would never allow a human to ride their backs, let alone such a little Divine Ability User!
But he was in despair. With Jin Gang around, he didn't even have the ability to swat this human to death.
"I told you, you'd kneel and beg me!" Fang Jueyu stroked the fur on the beast's neck, "I'm in a good mood today, not eating beast meat. Quickly, bring out all the good things from this ruin for me!"
"Hmm?" Jin Gang snorted coldly, and the beast trembled all over, "Did you hear what my big brother said? Do you need him to repeat it?"
"Yes, yes, Beast King, have mercy, I'll get to it right away!" The beast howled in the air, seemingly summoning its minions within the castle to issue instructions.
"Smack!" Fang Jueyu smacked the beast's head, "Whoa, scared me! Who told you to yell so loud? If I go deaf, who's paying my medical bill?"
The beast wanted to erupt in anger but suddenly noticed Jin Gang's gaze, as if telling it, "Try touching my big brother!"
Instantly, it retreated in submission.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Clang!"
The beasts in the castle carried the remaining items from the ruins and placed them in front of Fang Jueyu.
"Wow, 12 Divine Weapons!"
"Holy crap, even a large piece of material for forging Divine Weapons!"
"What's this?" Fang Jueyu opened a flawless jade box, releasing a fragrant aroma, "Oh my, what kind of herb is this, with such dense energy? Preserved so well for so many years... must have preservatives, huh?"
"There are pills, martial arts manuals, hahaha, getting rich, getting rich!"
"Move, bring them all out. No hiding anything!"
"Smack!"
"Damn! Gentle, don't break my stuff!"
