"So it's the Newcomer King who killed the Thousand-legged Worm King this time. I've been negligent."

Fang Xuan felt a little ashamed when he heard this. Do people in the city like to address others in such a high-profile manner… Does the entire world know that I killed the Thousand-legged Worm King??

"Hands on the crystal ball"

As he spoke, a mini elephant jumped out of the Divine Palace's old man's arms. There was a transparent crystal ball between its trunk. As soon as the little elephant appeared in his vision, Fang Xuan's muscles immediately tensed up, and a dangerous aura surged into his heart.

This elephant-shaped beast was definitely an S-class beast, and the pressure it gave him was far greater than any beast he had ever seen.

Fortunately, the little elephant looked cute.

It did not have many heads or wings, but its pupils were green.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and placed his hands on the crystal ball.

Two small words slowly appeared—ants.

He was shocked. This thing wouldn't expose his God-Slaying Ants, right? He had miscalculated… If he had known earlier, he would have asked clearly.

The old man was also shocked. It was actually an ant-like talent that ran all over the continent? This talent could be awakened almost by anyone. Most of them had returned to the village to farm. Only a few with mutated physical fitness had climbed to a high place. Could it be that this kid was a mutated beast? Was his talent outstanding?

Next, a large letter F on the crystal ball shattered his idea.

"Kid, it seems like you really have some skills."

"I'm Liao Zhong. This is the first time I've seen such a compatible Rookie King. Over the years, this guy has at least been an A-rank beast. You…"

Fang Xuan smiled. "It's just luck. It's all because our teammates cooperated well."

At this moment, he was already drenched in cold sweat. If this person wanted to harm him, he would not have the slightest chance to fight back.

At this moment, Liao Zhong already had a rough idea in his heart.

In the Cloud Continent, there was a special spiritual medicine called the Silver Grass.

Such spiritual herbs were weeds to high-level beastmasters, but to low-level beastmasters, they could quickly increase their levels. They were priceless.

However, even so, he could not consume too much. Otherwise, it would only backfire and permanently damage his cultivation foundation.

Therefore, even if most people used it, they would use it in moderation. Otherwise, they would pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.

However, this spiritual herb was extremely rare and often appeared in wild forests. Could it be that this kid had found such an opportunity in the Misty Forest and picked a large amount of Silver Grass? After consuming it, he would first level up and then kill the insects?

Liao Zhong almost made the final decision in his heart: "Lucky brat."

However, even though he had already come to a conclusion, Fang Xuan did not hesitate at all. Instead, he casually waved his hand and projected a wave of energy onto the pitch-black wall behind Fang Xuan.

Soon, the entire wall turned green with vitality.

When the green light landed on Fang Xuan's body, the latter immediately felt numb and almost moaned in pleasure.

He closed his eyes and unconsciously entered a meditative state. Not long after, when he broke out of the meditative state, there was an imperceptible light in his eyes.

"Alright, alright. This is all about the first awakening. There's nothing special about it. I also injected some life force into your body to strengthen your foundation and nurture your essence."

After saying that, Liao Zhong gave Fang Xuan a meaningful look.

The latter hurriedly thanked him and asked, "In other words, I'm now a first transition Beast Tamer and can accept missions, right?"

Liao Zhong stretched his back. "Not bad. However, after awakening, most people want to familiarize themselves with their new powers first. Could it be that you want to challenge them?"

Fang Xuan nodded in agreement.

He estimated that with his ability, he was confident that he could escape unscathed even if he challenged someone above his level. There was no harm in these scattered missions.

Liao Zhong shrugged his shoulders. Another wave of energy landed on the wall, and the wall was instantly cut into three different sections—fire, water, and lightning.

Fang Xuan knew that this was a mission with three random attributes, but this made no difference to him, so he casually chose the first option, Fire.

In no time, five crimson stars shone from the wall, as if they were about to jump out of reality.

Mission Objective: Kill the Boss Flame Commander and kill 15 Fire-type mosquitoes. "Senior Liao, what's with this star?"

The mission target was written in black and white, but what did the stars mean?

The latter frowned and sighed. "The difficulty of the chosen mission will be randomized from one stage to another."

"If you give up halfway, you won't be able to accept the mission on the same day. However, you've just awakened, and this five-star mission is the highest. I think…"

The meaning behind his words was extremely clear. He wanted Fang Xuan to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Fang Xuan was enlightened and cupped his hands.

"There's no need to say anything else. Today, I'm going to challenge myself and see where my ceiling is. Life and death are up to fate, and wealth is up to the heavens."

Liao Zhong chuckled and did not say anything else.

"You're a little like me when I was young. After accepting the mission, you have half an hour to prepare. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, break your guild token."

After saying that, Liao Zhong threw over a pitch-black token. It felt cold to the touch, and there was a huge "one" on both sides of it.

Fang Xuan took the token and accepted the mission. Just as he was thinking about his next arrangements, a few voices that he was extremely disgusted with came from outside the door.

"Hehe, Young Master Shen, who in the Cloud Empire doesn't know your reputation? Aren't missions at this stage at your fingertips? When you get the reward, don't forget to give me a share."

Fang Xuan frowned. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.

He put away the token and walked out of the door. When he passed Sun Ming, he didn't even raise his head.

"Oh my, isn't this our famous rookie king, Fang Xuan?"

Shen Yuechao also stopped in his tracks and looked at Fang Xuan with interest.

"I was wondering who would be so arrogant as to accept a five-star mission. You're really a country bumpkin who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even our Young Master Shen doesn't have 100% confidence in accepting a five-star mission. If you go, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to ask for help."

"At that time, even if I'm lucky enough to survive, I'm afraid I'll be demoted back to a newbie mercenary."

Fang Xuan sneered. "I thought you had something nutritious to say. What a waste of time."

With that, he left, leaving the two of them with a carefree back view.

Shen Yuechao smiled instead of getting angry. "Don't be anxious. When this kid suffers, not everyone can take on a five-star mission."

Sun Ming nodded in agreement.

After all, they were from an aristocratic family, and there were many cases of their family members accepting missions that exceeded their strength. The two of them were waiting to see the miserable state of Fang Xuan being burned to ashes.
