Over The World, Beyond Heaven

That matter...

The tribe leader's expression immediately became gloomy. He had not thought about that at all. He only thought that Zheng-Fu was looking for allies. And when he offered his clan to help, Zheng-Fu would gladly accept them. But just now, Zheng-Fu asked what benefit they would give him.

"In fact, I can carry out my plans all by myself. But I brought Lin Clan and the others to join the ideology because they benefited me. And what about you guys? What can you give me?" Zheng-Fu asked the same question again. And he did not feel embarrassed in the slightest for asking that.

"We're a small tribe that is not wealthy. Although we have some resources, they're only enough to support the tribe's people. As for the good treasures, we've already sold them in exchange for resources. Therefore, we have nothing left to give to you. Only our little strength can be given to you to help with this mission."

The tribe leader said sadly. His tribe had been in decline for so long that it was difficult to help themself. Therefore, he did not know what else to provide Zheng-Fu besides their energy and strength. He was not lying about that at all. They wanted to help, only to take revenge on the personal matter that the Demon Race had done to them.

"I don't lack cultivation resources or magic treasures, so I don't need them at all. What I want are not any items but benefits. If you don't understand, I'll give you an example. I accepted the Hunter Guild to join the mission because they offered benefits in terms of broad information that would make me more aware of the Demon Race's activities. As for the Lin Clan, they can easily be a medium for me to deal with the Black Rock City Governor. The others are just supporting characters. And you guys, … what benefit will you bring to me?"

Seeing that the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe did not understand what he wanted to convey, Zheng-Fu explained and gave an example to give them a clearer picture.

Umm!

When the tribe leader and the elders heard that, they began to understand a bit. At first, they thought that Zheng-Fu was a greedy person who wanted wealth. But what they did not know was that he was actually more greedy than that. Because the few assets were nothing compared to the many benefits he would receive.

"So, what do you want us to do? If it's something we can do, we'll be happy to do it!" The tribe leader tried to think, but he could not think of what benefits they could give Zheng-Fu, so he asked directly. So that he could get an answer that matched Zheng-Fu's needs. And they would also know whether they could accept the conditions and follow them.

Erm...

Zheng-Fu also could not think of anything either. It was because he did not know what the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe could do, so he asked directly, "To be honest, I don't know what benefit you guys can give me. Because I don't know any data about any of you. And I don't know what you guys are good at!"

"In fact, we're outstanding in strength. We're also good at controlling monster beasts that were at three energy levels higher than us. For example, even though I'm at the fourth level of the Deity Monarch Stage, I can control a monster beast at the seventh level of the Deity Monarch Stage. And other people in our tribe have this ability as well. Especially the new generation, they can control up to two monster beasts at the same time and can control the monster beast that is five levels higher than themselves."

The tribe leader explained their special abilities. Although they were outstanding in strength, that was not a huge advantage. Because anyone could cultivate it, especially the Demon Race, who were almost all outstanding in that aspect. But their ability, which was different from other tribes or races, was controlling the monster beasts. And they were extremely proud of it. However, what they were most proud of was that the tribe's new generations had abilities that even surpassed the old generation.

Hah!?

"It's quite an amazing ability. So can you show it to me?"

Zheng-Fu was quite interested in that ability, so he asked to see it. He had seen monster beast summoners before and had used the Summoned Monster Beasts as well, so he knew that those monster beasts would not evolve after being turned into Summoned Monster Beasts. They were unlike normal monster beasts, which would continue to grow and evolve as long as they did not die or were unable to evolve any further.

"All right! But this place probably wasn't suitable. Let's go to the training courtyard!" The tribe leader was excited when he saw Zheng-Fu's interest. He immediately answered and invited Zheng-Fu to the tribe's training courtyard. But before leaving, he turned to speak to Long-Che-Ge. "Ge, you go after Huo-Tian to meet me at the training courtyard."

"Yes, sir, Leader!" Long-Che-Ge responded and immediately went to carry out his duty as ordered.

Fifteen minutes passed...

The tribe leader and the other elders brought Zheng-Fu to the training courtyard, which was several kilometers wide and nearly ten kilometers long. And soon they arrived. But Zheng-Fu felt that it looked like an illusion. That was because that training courtyard was actually in a separate dimension connected to the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe village. That was why, even though it was so large, it could be located in a village nestled in a small valley.

"I didn't think there would be a separated dimension here. What a nice place! Moreover, the energy inside this dimension is denser than the outside!" Zheng-Fu looked around and examined that separated dimension for a moment. Before he found out that it had much more energy than the outside. It was considered a good cultivation place for people with energy levels lower than the initial Deity Monarch Stage.

"You are too kind! This place isn't that great. Even though it had a higher energy density than outside, it was not enough for everyone in the tribe. Therefore, only the Tribe's geniuses and those who had been selected could enter. But today is a special case. We opened the training courtyard ahead of schedule to let you see our abilities!"

The tribe leader said with a slightly embarrassed face. Because their training courtyard could not be activated all the time. Otherwise, the available energy would eventually run out. Thus, they must have set the activation period. And only selected people would be able to enter to cultivate.

Umm...

Flap!

"Respect, Father! I apologize for being late!"

Suddenly, a young man with a face not too different from the tribe leader appeared in front of the tribe leader. Before he greeted politely and respectfully

"What were you doing, Huo-Tian? Did you know that Young Master Zheng-Fu is waiting for you?" The tribe leader looked slightly displeased that his son had arrived later than expected. He scolded him slightly before turning to Zheng-Fu, "This is my son, Young Master. And he is Young Master Zheng-Fu! He is our hope. And I called you here because he wanted to see your monster beast control ability. Quickly show him!" The tribe leader suppressed his dissatisfaction and introduced his son to Zheng-Fu before telling him the purpose of his urgent summons.

Him?!

The young man was shocked when he saw Zheng-Fu. Because Zheng-Fu looked even younger than him. The image of Zheng-Fu that he had imagined was not like this at all. He thought that Zheng-Fu must be a middle-aged man with a fierce demeanor or a dandy. But in reality, Zheng-Fu was a young man in his early twenties.

"That's him. Hurry! Show off your abilities!"

"Father, are you kidding me? This person is our hope?! He looks even younger than me. And is he really capable of that much?!" The man still could not believe his father that the young man in front of him was the Tribe's hope that everyone had been waiting for.

You!

"How dare you say things like that? Do you know..."

"Never mind, Master Leader! He's not wrong if he doesn't believe it. So, let's do it like this. Let's maneuver a bit, shall we? If I lose… this pill will be yours right away! But if I'm the winner... you must become my follower for the rest of your life!" Zheng-Fu saw that the matter was starting to get interesting. And he felt quite attracted to that young man. Because Youngman Huo-Tian was a person who said things honestly and did not pretend. Therefore, Zheng-Fu interrupted the tribe leader and proposed a betting maneuver with Huo-Tian.

Hah!?

"What level of medicine is that?! Why does it seem to have such dense energy?!"

"This kind of fragrance and energy wave must be Heavenly Pill!"

"Heavenly Pill?!"

"Just Spirit Level Pill and Emperor Pill are hard to find and expensive. Not to mention how precious the Immortal pill is. But this is Heavenly Pill!"

Many elders saw the pill in Zheng-Fu's hand, and their eyes lit up with envy and desire. Just a Spirit Level or Emperor Pill was very valuable to them. But the medicine in Zheng-Fu's hand was an extremely valuable Heavenly Pill. Even the advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivators needed it.

"So, are you interested in betting with me? Or do you not dare to compete with someone younger than you?" Zheng-Fu pretended to be irritated and spoke a little provocatively to the young man. He knew that Huo-Tian would definitely accept his challenge. Because not only were the betting prizes enticing, but Zheng-Fu's words were also irritating, insulting, and annoying. A young man like Huo-Tian certainly could not tolerate being disrespected by anyone.

All right!

"Why wouldn't I dare? After all, I must win!" Huo-Tian accepted the challenge exactly as Zheng-Fu expected. Not only was he a person who did not like being looked down upon, but he also did not believe that Zheng-Fu was stronger than him.

Huo-Tian!

"Why are you being so rash? I think you should think about it again. Do you know..."

"Father! I have already made up my mind. A man like me can kill but cannot be insulted. Since he dared to challenge me, I dared to accept his challenge as well. And Father, don't worry. Your son is not a fish in a barrel who waits for someone to slaughter him. Because I have them…"

Come out!

The tribe leader tried to warn his son to think twice. But before he could finish speaking, the young man confidently interjected. Before he summoned his monster beasts, which were kept in a dimensional ring that was created specifically for their habitat. The technique of creating a living space dimensional ring was invented by the Purple Dragon Serpent Tribe. Therefore, they had an advantage over other monster beast controllers who could not keep the monster beasts stored away and had to take them along everywhere they went.

Flap! Flap!

Groaaaaan!

Zzzaaa!
