Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 256

256 Arriving At Yunhai City

Hearing this, Tao Ming was confused. “But didn’t the beast taming ceremony just end not long ago? Why is it open again?”

“This time, it’s not organized by the academy. It’s organized by Mayor Edward,” Shen Fei explained. “It’s said that the reward this time is very generous. You can exchange it for precious treasures, and even get the chance to be nurtured by the mayor himself.”

“The mayor is personally hosting it?” Tao Ming was shocked.

“Yup.” Shen Fei smiled and nodded. “However, the mayor also said that before participating, one has to go through layers of selection to eliminate the ‘trash’.”

!!
“The competition in this world is cruel.” Tao Ming sighed.

Although he was a powerful Beastmaster, he knew the pros and cons of this, and knew that to participate in the beast taming ceremony was as difficult as ascending to the heavens! Thus, he did not have much hope.

Shen Fei nodded in agreement.

“Fei, are you really going to participate in the beast taming ceremony? It’s very dangerous there. What if something happens to you?” Tao Ming asked.

Shen Fei smiled a small smile and unclenched the fists he had unknowingly tightened.

“Sigh… Since you’re so insistent on attending, I’ll give you my blessings.” Tao Ming sighed. He could see that Shen Fei really wanted to go. Although Shen Fei was intelligent, Tao Ming still worried about him.

The beast taming ceremony was no joke. Once one entered the beast taming grounds, one had to follow the rules. The slightest violation could cost one’s life!

Moreover, the Shen family had a grudge with the Beastmasters Association.

Shen Fei nodded and said, “Thank you, Uncle Tao. If you don’t mind, I’ll take my leave first.” He was ready to register for the beast taming ceremony.

“Be careful on the road,” Tao Ming warned.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Tao, I’ll be fine.” Shen Fei grinned, then turned and left.

Suddenly, Tao Ming stopped Shen Fei and said in a serious tone, “Fei, the beast taming scene is very dangerous. Regardless of whether you can enter the beast taming hall in the end, you must remember not to show off!”

Shen Fei’s footsteps stopped. The corner of his mouth formed an indescribable smirk. He then waved his hand and disappeared.

“Sigh.” Tao Ming sighed helplessly. He had already guessed Shen Fei’s answer. ‘Shen Fei is really so stubborn!’

Shen Fei left the house after hearing his uncle’s words. As soon as he stepped out the door, a BMW flew over at high speed and stopped in front of him.

The door opened, and Aloy, wearing a long white dress and a white stylish veil, walked out slowly with a jade flute in her hand.

She looked at Shen Fei, revealing an intoxicated expression, and softly asked, “Shen Fei, get in the car.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and said, “Aloy, you came to pick me up?”

“Get in the car. We have to hurry to Yunhai City. My father has been waiting for a long time,” Aloy urged.

“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded. He sat in the front passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.

Aloy closed the door. She immediately started the engine, and the BMW sped away. Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of a manor in the suburbs of Yunhai City.

Aloy stopped the BMW and hopped out of the car. She pulled Shen Fei and ran into the manor. A lot of people had already swarmed the area, all of whom were here to participate in today’s beast taming ceremony.

In the middle of the hall, there were two rows of chairs prepared for the various influential spectators to use.

Shen Fei and Aloy were placed in the first row near the entrance. Shen Fei’s gaze swept around and discovered that the attendees today were all below the age of fifty. The oldest was a man, who was dressed in a black robe, and his face was obscured.

Shen Fei guessed that it should be Mayor Edward. Sitting beside him was the head of the Shen family, Shen Teng.

As for the rest, they were all from powerful families, including the royal family of the Yunhai Kingdom.

Other than the members of the royal family, the rest were almost all from second- or third-rate small families. Even so, the people who came to participate in the beast taming ceremony still packed the hall to the brim.

It was not just this place that was filled with people, even the streets and nearby businesses were benefitting from the event. The beast taming ceremony today had attracted the attention of the entire continent.

The butler of the mayor’s mansion looked around and said with a smile, “Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come today.”

“Today’s beast taming ceremony is specially organized by the current mayor, Lord Edward. Anyone of any age is welcome to attend the ceremony.”

The butler then took out a piece of paper and said, “Everyone, let’s take a look first. The kind of challenges we have prepared…”

There was suddenly a clamor in the hall.

“Challenges?! You guys are cheating!”

“I didn’t agree to this!”

The crowd was in a heated discussion, clearly expressing their anger.

“Everyone, don’t get excited. Listen first.” The butler of the mayor’s mansion smiled faintly. “This beast taming ceremony isn’t held simply for everyone to visit, but to increase our interaction.”

The hall fell silent again.

“Why don’t you all guess what my first test of the day is?” The Butler continued to keep them in suspense.

Everyone was silent again, and many people were thinking to themselves.

“I can’t guess that.” A young man frowned and shook his head. “But I’m sure that today’s competition won’t be simple.”

“That’s right,” another young man agreed, “With the mayor’s personality, he definitely won’t just hold a simple challenge.”

The mayor’s butler laughed and patted the shoulder of the person who had spoken, “Young friend, you have a sharp eye.”

At this point, he pretended to be profound and said, “Then, let’s find the champion of this competition! Whoever wins this honor will be rewarded with a divine spirit weapon by the mayor, and access to an ancient mystic ore vein.”

“An ancient mystic ore vein?” Hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately exclaimed.

Ancient mystic ore was worth thousands! A piece of ancient mystic ore was enough to buy several large countries. This was the best material for sacred artifacts and tools; an indispensable raw material for refining divine weapons!

Obviously, none of this could have been attainable for ordinary people! On the other hand, the mayor’s mansion could casually bestow an ancient mystic ore vein! This kind of temptation could make anyone drool.

In an instant, the hall was filled with heated discussions. Everyone was trying to guess what kind of competition this was.

Shen Fei was also a little shocked. He did not expect the mayor to be so generous. The ancient mystic ore vein was a mysterious mineral, and a high-grade ore for weapon-refining. To a master refiner, this kind of ore was a treasure that they could only dream of.

If he could have a piece of ancient mystic ore, the power of the divine spirit weapon he forged would be incomparably powerful.

Beside him, Aloy suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “Shen Fei, you have to be careful from now on. I heard that there will be many powerhouses participating in the first round, so you must be careful.”

“Are you afraid that I’ll lose?” Shen Fei said with a smile.

“I’d be a fool if I’m worried about you losing.” Aloy glared at Shen Fei.

“Hahaha, I know.” Shen Fei laughed heartily and said, “I’ll definitely do my best.”
