Chapter 24 The First Battle of the Beast Tower (Seeking Investment and Follow-Up Readers)

Looking at Lin Su, who was so different from the person who had refused without hesitation before, Mu Yuxing had the illusion that he had judged the person wrongly just moments ago.

This kid…

Mu Yuxing chuckled to himself.

"Senior, what are the rules of the Great Alchemist Competition?" Lin Su cleared his throat, his expression turning serious as he asked earnestly.

Since he had decided to participate, he naturally wanted to prepare thoroughly.

"Alchemist, after all, is a secondary profession, so the rules are not that strict," Mu Yuxing said, pausing slightly, "The Great Alchemist Competition is divided into three rounds: the preliminary, the semifinal, and the final. The preliminary lasts one day, and both the semifinal and final are held on the same day, making it a two-day event in total."

"Under normal circumstances, each edition of the competition from the Beast Taming Union's four southern cities will see over a hundred Beast Tamers participate. But no matter the number of participants, only ten will be left to advance to the semifinal. And from the semifinal, three will move on to the final, with the others vying for the fourth and fifth places. The first three places are decided in the final."

"As for the content of the competition…" Mu Yuxing glanced at Lin Su, "It's the same for all three rounds, just complete the concoction of the energy liquid publicly within one hour's time limit."

One hour?

Lin Su slightly relaxed inside. His current concoction time for the energy liquid was almost always within half an hour, which meant he had ample time and found the whole competition procedure quite simple.

"Senior, I understand. I will definitely give it my all," Lin Su nodded emphatically, a fighting spirit gleaming in his eyes.

Perfect quality within a week!

Win the championship, to let Qiuqiu evolve in the Nirvana Pool!

"Alright," Mu Yuxing nodded and then, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked at Lin Su, "Oh right, what did you come to see me for?"

Mu Yuxing had been preoccupied with being amazed by Lin Su's talent and only now remembered that Lin Su must have had a reason for seeking him out.

"Oh right." Lin Su slapped his head and took out a notebook from the Space Ring, "Senior, these are some questions I've had while studying your notes recently; may I ask for your guidance?"

"No problem, let's have a look."

"Okay."

…

The process of asking Mu Yuxing for guidance did not last very long. The issues that puzzled Lin Su often stemmed from differences in understanding between the two worlds. With just a bit of guidance from Mu Yuxing, Lin Su could generally grasp and even expand upon the concepts.

Soon enough, Mu Yuxing answered the last question in Lin Su's notebook, and Lin Su joyfully recorded the answer, gratefully looking at Mu Yuxing, "Thank you, Senior."

Su Qing is such a good person.

Although he seemed a little aloof, his explanations were incredibly detailed.

"You're welcome. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me," Mu Yuxing replied casually, taking a sip of tea.

He too was very satisfied with Lin Su. From the questions Lin Su had asked, he could tell that Lin Su had indeed delved into the notes he had given.

Talented and diligent, this was very good.

"By the way, Senior, I have another question I wish to ask. How should a Beast Tamer's pet beast hone its combat skills?" Lin Su put away the notebook after recording, and started to inquire, "Aside from training in regions populated with mystical beasts, is there another way?"

"The Beast Tower." Without hesitation, Mu Yuxing promptly gave him the answer.

"The Beast Tower?" Lin Su's interest was piqued, "Is it the one next to the Beast Taming Union?"

Mu Yuxing stood up and pulled back the curtain behind him, pointing outside the window, "Correct, that's the one."

There it was outside the window, a towering and magnificent tower standing still. The tower appeared to have only nine floors, but each was tens of meters high making the overall structure incredibly tall. The tower's ancient and mottled body was etched with a complex and dense network of carvings, exuding an aura of mystery and antiquity.

This was the Beast Tower?

A look of realization crossed Lin Su's face.

This building, even taller than the Beast Taming Union, had caught his eye on his first visit, but at that time he hadn't inquired about the tower's function. It turned out to be the facility used by beast tamers in the World of Shenwu to refine their combat skills.

In an instant, Lin Su was even more interested.

Just by beholding its majestic appearance, he could feel that the Beast Tower's method of combat training was certainly different from that of Blue Star.

"Try it out. You can find out about the rules related to the Beast Tower at its base," Mu Yuxing spoke indifferently, settling back into his seat to sip more tea.

"Yes, yes." Lin Su didn't want to bother Mu Yuxing with such questions, after all, as the Vice President of the Beast Taming Union, he was undoubtedly a very busy person. The fact that he had already taken the time to answer his questions was quite gracious, "Then, Senior, I shall take my leave."

He was too eager to see for himself what the Beast Tower was all about.

When Lin Su left the room, Mu Yuxing glanced at the door that had closed firmly once more, slowly set down the teacup in his hand, and returned to his original position leaning against the wall, his gaze curiously turning towards the ginormous screen in front of the Beast Tower.

That young man has such an astonishing talent for alchemy; I wonder how he fares in combat?

…

Upon stepping out of the Beast Taming Union and reaching the front of the Beast Tower, Lin Su asked around and quickly understood the rules associated with the Beast Tower.

After getting a clear understanding, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

The Beast Tower in the World of Shenwu was even more magical than he had imagined.
