This time, there were ten students from the college heading to the Tianqi Empire competition, and with the dean’s special quota, they were allowed to send eleven participants. The team was led by the dean and Ming Zhao. After discussing some precautions, they declared, “Let’s go.”
The students headed toward Asuka.
The flying birds from the academy were level 10 spiritual beasts and exceptionally fast. The journey from the college to Tianqi took only seven days, much quicker than a carriage trip.
Most of the students had contracted spirit beasts below the fifth level, so they were thrilled to have the opportunity to ride on a tenth-level flying beast.
However, Huang Quan couldn’t share in their excitement. The living creatures would be exposed to Ye Qin’s death energy, which would eventually corrupt them. Thus, if Ye Qin touched the flying beast, it could die before reaching the halfway point.
Depressed, Huang Quan sighed and said, “It seems we’ll have to take a carriage.”
The carriage might be slower, but it would get them to the competition on time.
Ye Qin, however, had a different idea. He smiled and suggested, “No need for a carriage. Let’s take horses.”
Huang Quan was about to ask where they would find horses when she noticed horses flying towards them in the distance.
Yes, they were flying horses.
Six horses soared through the sky, with wings on their backs and glistening white coats. They were no ordinary spiritual beasts; these were White Winged Horses, known as mythical beasts.
The students recognized the White Winged Horses and were in awe. mythical beasts could only be contracted by cultivators at the level of mythical spirit masters, and they were more advanced than regular spiritual beasts.
A level one mythical beast could overpower a level ten spiritual beast, and this level suppression made capturing a mythical beast more challenging than capturing a spiritual one.
The rarity of mythical beasts meant that they rarely appeared in the Tianhuang Kingdom, and many people had never seen one. However, the students recognized the White Winged Horses due to their descriptions in books.
The appearance of the White Winged Horses left the students in the square in shock. The total number of mythical beasts in the Tianhuang Empire didn’t exceed ten, yet here were six mythical beasts with pristine white and shiny coats, indicating they were likely above level five.
While everyone was still processing this, a carriage pulled by six White Winged Horses touched down. The driver, who wore a mask, quickly approached Ye Qin and respectfully said, “Master, you may depart.”
The students and staff watched in amazement.
Ye Qin had attracted attention when he first appeared at the academy due to his handsome looks, but he had been associated with Huang Quan ever since. As a result, no one at the academy had spoken to him or inquired about his background. So, up to this point, aside from the dean, none of the students or staff knew Ye Qin’s identity.
However, the casual summoning of six mythical beasts suggested that his background was extremely noble, likely associated with the empire or a prominent family.
When the White Winged Horses landed, the flying birds appeared somewhat dejected. The dean, feeling for his birds, glanced at Ye Qin and Huang Quan. “Now that the carriage has arrived, let’s set off quickly,” he urged, noting that the flying birds couldn’t be cheered up with the presence of the White Winged Horses.
Ye Qin shifted his gaze from the dean to Nangong Mian and asked, “Third brother, would you like to come with us?”
