Chapter 187 - Python

He and the seven people with him entered one by one.

The space seemed to be torn apart. Wang Ye felt his body tremble and his consciousness blurred for a second, but he quickly came to his senses.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at a magnificent hall.

The professions office!

Wang Ye looked around. This was the first time he had seen such a building, and he found it quite interesting.

The interior of the hall was decorated in an ancient style. Compared to the steel buildings outside, the various materials consisted more of wood, which gave off a different vibe. Most were some kind of special wood that was made into carved beams and painted pillars, as well as pavilions that were painted red.

In mid-air, seven flickering lights hung like stars. It was very unique.

Other than Wang Ye, the other six didn’t seem to be unfamiliar with this place, as if they had already been here.

At this moment, there weren’t many inside the professions office, because everyone had gone to watch a battle. The battle should’ve just started.

There were only a few staff members inside the hall.

“This might be the first time you’ve seen Qixing City’s professions office,” Li Yunjie smiled faintly, “What do you think?”

“What are those seven stars?” Wang Ye pointed at the flickering lights at the top.

“Those are the seven-star pillars of Xinghai Province. They represent the seven strongest professional beastmasters in the history of Xinghai Province. Six of them are deity-rank beastmasters, and one of them is a master,” Li Yunjie said slowly, “The stars are engraved with their glory and deeds. Some have already passed, and some of them are still alive.”

The others all looked at the stars with respect.

“Master?” It was Wang Ye’s first time hearing about it, so his focus was different.

“That’s right,” Li Yunjie nodded, “You might find it strange, which is normal. After all, the other six are all deity-rank beastmasters, so why is there a master among them? The status of that beastmaster is extraordinary, and he has made great contributions. Xinghai Province made an exception to forge a star pillar for him and placed it here for the many professional beastmasters to admire.”

At this point, Wang Ye noticed that Zhao Ping’s eyes were shining with extra brilliance.

“The beastmaster’s name is Ji Wuming, and he’s the vice-captain of Qixing Investigation Corps,” Li Yunjie said with a sigh, “His greatest contribution was that he had stopped everything during the Xinghai Demonic Disaster back then, and joined hands with many experts to seal the demonic sword. As such, he saved Xinghai Province and made a great contribution.”

Wang Ye was silent for a few seconds before he sighed, “It’s only a given he has a star pillar.”

“Unfortunately, he is already more than two hundred years old now,” Li Yunjie sighed softly, “Due to the disaster that year, he was left with indelible injuries. It’s very difficult for him to become a deity-rank. However, he’s still very strong. Zhao Ping should be quite clear about this as Senior Ji’s last disciple.”

Wang Ye was deep in thought.

“Master has been serving the country and the people all his life. He has always regarded himself as an investigator. Although he can’t become a deity-rank…” Zhao Ping said solemnly, “In my heart, he is better than a deity rank.”

Li Yunjie laughed a few times.

Then, he brought them to the auditorium on the top floor.

There, Wang Ye found that there were some people there besides Li Yunjie.

Moreover, he didn’t know any of them.

There was only one person he knew.

Mingkai, the head of Mingguang Enterprise.

Apart from him, there were two old men and a middle-aged man.

One of the old men was tall and sturdy with a head full of white hair. The tendons and muscles on his body seemed as hard as iron, making him look extremely valiant.

The other old man was much thinner. His white beard made him look like a celestial, and his face was ruddy and lustrous. He looked very amiable.

The middle-aged man, on the other hand, was wearing a military uniform. His eyebrows were straight and he exuded a sharp aura. He was a soldier.

Hmm, they should all be important figures in Qixing City.

“The Rookie King this year, Wang Ye, is here!” The amiable elder stood up and said with a smile, “Wang Ye, you are also a descendant of heroes. Not bad, not bad! I am Xing Wuya.”

Wang Ye found the name somewhat familiar when he heard it.

Wasn’t this the city lord of Qixing City?

“Greetings,” Wang Ye hurriedly nodded and said.

“Alright, he’s here to get his rewards. He doesn’t have time to listen to you, an old man, say courteous words here,” The burly old man smiled and said, “I’m Jiang He from the professions department. I was the one who agreed to your request of one versus six.”

The professions department represented the strength of the country.

“I know you,” Jiang He looked at Wang Ye meaningfully, “I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense. Ming Kai, take out the rewards and give them to them. The professional assessment in Xinghai Province this year is really not simple.”

After saying that, Jiang He looked at Xing Wuya again, “I didn’t expect that you guys could really figure out the talent evolution with no one knowing.”

Wang Ye didn’t know what these big shots were thinking, but when he heard the words ” talent evolution”, he pondered.

They were probably referring to the two giant dragons created by the other six in the duel, right?

Xing Wuya just smiled. The smile on his face still gave off a kind and amiable feeling.

Ming Kai cleared his throat and looked at Wang Ye. He smiled and said, “It’s amazing that Anping County can produce a person like you. You probably don’t know me, right? My name Is Ming Kai, and my younger sister’s name is Ming Zhu. You should know her.”

How could he not know him, Wang Ye thought

In the previous few simulations, this person had even become his brother-in-law…

He did not expect him to appear here, though.

It seems that Mingguang Enterprise’s status was not simple either.
