Chapter 413 — The Target Is the Totem

This girl really was no simple matter—to think she was of the Space Emperor's line. Shi Jin could only marvel. The Space Emperor, a super second-generation beastmaster, was said to have rarely known defeat in his whole life; after becoming a beastmaster he displayed astonishing talent, growing rapidly under the protection of his legendary titled grandfather, and later still under the Dragon God's protection,

until at last he became a legendary powerhouse.

One could say that in that era, whether human prodigies or totem alien races, all lived in the Space Emperor's shadow.

He, like every generation of legendary emperors, was the darling of his age.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin felt a stir of longing. Slacker though he was, he too felt an urge to see these legendary emperors with his own eyes.

Ever since the Dragon God had asked him to explore the Time Dragon Vein one day, Shi Jin had felt this urge.

And now, meeting Qi here in Tingxiang only made it stronger. If Qi truly mastered time traversal, and he had the chance to return to ancient times, could he cross blades with the Time Emperor, the Martial Emperor, the Empress, the Dragon Emperor, the Space Emperor?

"Haha, a false alarm—so long as you are safe, that is what matters. We made you rush all the way back, and now you have to return to Tingxiang again?" Afterward, once everyone saw that Fang Lan was fine, Feng Jin said to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin's face was speechless. Good grief—going over and then coming back again was more trouble than it was worth.

"Forget it," Shi Jin said.

With Qi and the Elf Queen as his connections, he could go to Tingxiang whenever he liked later on; there was no rush now.

"I won't go. I will go into seclusion for bitter cultivation instead," Shi Jin sighed.

Having seen contestants for the Totem Nation World Tournament like the dark elf prince and the Flame Dragon King, he felt a bit of pressure. Besides, according to the Elf Queen, there might even be mixed-blood legends capable of contracting totems across rank.

For the blessing of the World Tree, he had to push harder.

"Very well. Oh, and that formation Fang Lan brought back—take some time to study it too. You can send it to your legions and see whether it is of use," Feng Jin said.

Shi Jin nodded to show he understood. Paying no more mind to Tingxiang or Mirage Abyss City, he chose to take Qi, still in the Relic Space, and return to Pingcheng, planning to introduce her to the customs and ways of Donghuang.

Next would come seclusion and point allocation. This time he meant to raise the Superalloy in one breath to the acme of mastery, then let Eleven evolve and break through. That was still more than forty allocations away, about a month's time, and with the skills of his other beasts not yet maxed out either, the time left to him was no longer ample. He had to make sure that by the time the World Tournament began, he had the combat power to match the weakest totems and defeat invincible overlords.
