A Yellow Millet Dream

Chapter 246 Ascending Another Level

At that time, Lu Fei showed the drunkard the results of his training, and the drunkard remained indifferent at first.

It wasn't until Tie Tou Wa used [Lightning Sword Heavenly Net] that the drunkard exclaimed almost involuntarily:

"Domain Skill!"

Lu Fei didn't know what a domain skill was at the time. It was only after listening to the drunkard's explanation that he understood that Tie Tou Wa had comprehended a remarkable skill.

But Lu Fei was also curious, how did Tie Tou Wa suddenly have such insight?

Later, through Brother Chicken's translation, he learned that [Lightning Sword Heavenly Net] was comprehended by Tie Tou Wa after watching Brother Chicken transform into Aidus last time, and he had comprehended more than one skill.

It was two. [Lightning Sword Heavenly Net] was his own comprehension, and the other skill was obtained through [Unstable Evolution Talent].

But the drunkard also said that Tie Tou Wa's [Lightning Sword Heavenly Net] was still in its nascent stage as a domain skill. However, for a contracted beast of level forty-something to reach the threshold of comprehending a domain skill, it was already an astonishing feat.

Before leaving, the drunkard instructed him to use this skill sparingly as it was too eye-catching. But Lu Fei forgot as soon as he arrived at the academy and showed it off.

Fortunately, the nascent domain skill was not so obvious, and even Lei Mang didn't notice it.

With Bai Xingyu's powerful display this time, the others treated him with much more courtesy.

Lu Fei took the lead and called out "Teacher Xingyu." The corners of the other few people's mouths twitched, but it was not unreasonable, so they all addressed Bai Xingyu as Teacher Xingyu.

Bai Xingyu politely declined, but couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.

As they moved forward, the third level was the same as the first two. They encountered very few powerful contracted beasts, but the mental pressure here had increased significantly.

Bai Qianqian, Zhou Tao, and Li Mo, though they said nothing, were already secretly regretting their decision.

Finally, the group ascended to the fourth level.

As soon as they stepped onto the floor of the fourth level.

With a thud!

Li Mo knelt on one knee and fell down. A trace of blood seeped from his nostrils, making him look somewhat disheveled.

After resting for a while.

Li Mo, enduring the pressure, said with a trembling voice, "I think I can only go this far."

The others nodded, understanding his meaning.

As the small stone in Li Mo's hand was crushed, he also left this space.

Bai Qianqian and Zhou Tao glanced at each other tacitly, clearly each trying to outdo the other, waiting to see who would give out first. However, neither spoke, as even speaking at this point was extremely draining.

The journey on the fourth level proceeded smoothly, and there was even an unexpected gain. The group encountered a dark-element contracted beast cub with a strange appearance they had never seen before.

Even the Beast Taming Illustrated Guide had no record of this beast.

Zhou Tao coveted this contracted beast and, with the help of the others, successfully captured this young contracted beast.

The joy of capturing a new contracted beast improved Zhou Tao's complexion.

He also became the first person in the team to achieve a gain.

Finally, with the last bit of effort they could muster, Zhou Tao and Bai Qianqian also managed to reach the fifth level!

Lu Fei and Bai Xingyu stopped pretending. Although the pressure here was significantly higher than in the previous levels, it was still within an acceptable range for them, and Lu Fei felt almost nothing.

Suddenly, Bai Qianqian and Zhou Tao's bodies simultaneously glowed with white light.

Without a word, they crushed the injured small stones.

This made Lu Fei both amused and exasperated.

After the two disappeared from view, Lu Fei turned his head to Bai Xingyu and asked, "Teacher Xingyu, should we continue?"

Outside the Undead Tower.

The plaza was silent.

The group from Cangzhen Beast Taming Academy stared blankly at the fifth level of the Undead Tower, their mouths agape, unable to recover for a long time.

Lu Fei had reached the fifth level to clear it?

How did he do it?

They all had the same expression: one of utter shock.

It was understandable that they could pass the third level, but now they had reached the fifth level? Earlier, Bai Qianqian and Zhou Tao had already come out, but Lu Fei was still inside.

So what he had said about taking a look at the third level wasn't just talk.

What was Lu Fei's true strength? To be able to advance with Bai Xingyu, who had top-tier beast tamer strength?

Anyone who had entered the Undead Tower knew that it not only tested mental strength but also required facing various powerful contracted beasts. This was a true challenge that had to be overcome level by level. Even if they were lucky enough not to encounter unexpected attacks from contracted beasts once or twice, luck couldn't last forever, right?

Combat was still unavoidable.

Bai Qianqian and Zhou Tao respectfully approached the elder they had previously asked to look after each other with Bai Xingyu. They had learned from Bai Xingyu that the elder's surname was Han.

Bai Qianqian said politely, "Master Han, when we came out, Teacher Xingyu had already reached the fifth level with us. There is still one of our classmates inside."

Han Xiu nodded with a smile in his eyes.

"Heh heh, thank you for your trouble."

Han Xiu did not offer many words of thanks. Since they addressed him as Master Han and Bai Xingyu as Teacher Xingyu, they must have been impressed by Bai Xingyu's strength.

Han Xiu looked towards the Undead Tower with a worried sigh.

"Alas, this child has never experienced training in such a truly perilous place. Why is he so reckless?"

At this moment, other onlookers also vaguely heard the conversation nearby.

Although many people entered the Undead Tower today, most were lingering in the second and third levels. The changes in the number of people on the fourth and fifth levels on the monument earlier were likely due to these beast tamers who looked like students.

"Uncle Han, what level has Xingyu reached?"

From the crowd, a voice with a mellow yet sickly tone rang out.

Han Xiu heard the voice and smiled as he walked over.

"President Bai, Xingyu has already reached the fifth level."

"Oh? That's not bad, this kid."

Han Xiu looked up and noticed the person beside Bai Yushu, sizing him up.

"And who is this?"

"He looks somewhat familiar."

Bai Yushu did not enlighten Han Xiu. Instead, he looked at Qiu Feng and said with a smile, "Han Xiu, you should recognize him."

Qiu Feng frowned slightly, a look of thought appearing on his stern face.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"Han Xiu?"
