“What a fuss!”
Audrey Harvey rubbed her temples as she looked at the lopsided leave approval on her office desk.
Now is the best time for David to practice his cultivation, but I didn’t expect Grau, that goofy dragon, would actually kidnap him to go on an adventure to hunt for treasures.
You must know, every year, Rosewood College initiates the activation of the school’s treasure, which is the eighth-order arcane implement The Tower of Refining Beasts, used to quickly sharpen the cultivation speed, combat experience, skills, and psychic power of students and their pets.
This Tower of Refining Beasts has no restrictions on the number of students who can participate. During the Tower’s activation, all Rosewood College students can spend high amounts of credits to enter, providing substantial developments to each student and pet who experience the Tower’s trials.
The Beast Refining Tower is almost fully charged now, according to the decision made by the higher-ups of the school, The Tower of Refining Beasts will be officially opened in January.
“Such a headache, Grau deliberately left two days early to avoid David learning of the news,” Audrey Harvey shook her head slightly and set fire to the application form on the desk.
“Well, what’s done is done. Grau will protect David on his trip to Mountain Myriad Beasts for his training. As long as he doesn’t miss the opening time, entering the Beast Refining Tower a few days late won’t be a problem.”
On the other side, in a dense jungle with cascading waterfalls amidst a primal forest.
“Brother Grau, are you sure there is a Vein Dominating Elephant here?”
David Jones looked at the various beasts instinctively fleeing due to Grau’s dragon domination power, expressing doubt in his tone.
As far as he knew, since the Vein Dominating Elephant possesses a strong ability to dominate mountain ranges and likes to swallow earth energy from dragon veins, their habitats are usually located in the magnificent mountain ranges that look like twisting dragons, ever-changing, continuous, as if a real dragon is about to take flight.
However, the peaks here are steep, with beautiful scenery and deep valleys.
There is not even a slight hint of dragon vein earth energy, it didn’t seem like a place where a Vein Dominating Elephant would appear.
“I wasn’t sure before, but three years ago, I sensed two Vein Dominating Elephants, a big and a small one here. The bigger one’s strength was mid-Class VII, and the smaller one’s strength was at the peak of upper Class VI,” Grau answered seriously.
If it wasn’t that he had once seen traces of Vein Dominating Elephants in the depths of Mountain Myriad Beasts and knew approximately their range of activity, he wouldn’t dare to declare that he could find them.
After all, the range the depths of Mountain Myriad Beasts cover is too vast. Unless it’s a chance encounter, it would be really hard to find a sedentary homebody” elephant that swallows earth energy all year round and seldom ventures out in the boundless mountain range.
Upon hearing, David slightly knitted his brows.
Three years is enough time for a Vein Dominating Elephant to swallow and digest a mountain range with not abundant dragon vein earth energy.
He observed the trend of the surrounding mountain ranges, squatting down to grab a handful of dirt and carefully scrutinized it by activating the Illusion- Piercing Eye.
“Brother, let’s search for the Vein Dominating Stone nearby,” David suggested in a soft voice.
The Vein Dominating Elephant would excrete a portion of the dragon vein earth energy it swallowed to form Vein Dominating Stones, which suppressed the earth energy of the earth, preventing the mountain range they’ve swallowed from completely collapsing.
If they can get a Vein Dominating Stone here, the smell on it would give them a clear direction.
Otherwise, David wouldn’t want to stay in Mountain Myriad Beasts for several months just to search for a Vein Dominating Elephant!
“A Vein Dominating Stone? What does it look like, I’ll look around!” Grau’s dragon eyes flared with a red light, and his terrifying psychic power scanned the surrounding mountain range at breakneck speed.
“Vein Dominating stones are generally pale to dark gray in color, of clear crystal and moist jade texture, and while they only range from half a meter to one meter in size, they weigh up to hundreds of tons. But the most important feature is: there’s always an Iron-Spine Dragon lingering near a Vein Dominating Stone,” David briefly described.
“Rainbow, Daphne, you look around the vicinity, as for Gluttonous Beast, you just need to protect me closely,” David instructed.
Next, David Jones and his pet scoured the surrounding mountains for a good two to three kilometers, but found nothing.
As Master Grau gradually expanded the range of his psychic search, the groups of beasts around the mountain range sensed danger and began to hide away, even causing a small-scale Beast Tide.
“Roar!”
A low, terrifying roar filled with intimidation echoed from the distant rugged peaks.
Sensing an unidentified True Dragon rampaging on its territory, the Five- Peaks Tiger, who is the overlord of this mountain range and originally intended to avoid the fight, bristled up and issued a warning without showing weakness.
“Get out of the way, don’t force my hand!”
Master Grau stopped his psychic search, his large dragon eyes looking in the direction of the sound, his expression gradually becoming icy.
As soon as his words fell, David suddenly noticed a majestic and splendorously colored tiger. It was about ten meters long, clad in a golden crystal armor, with saber-hke teeth, sturdy and powerful limbs, and a layer of black crystal wrapped around the joints. It looked like a dignified tiger crafted out of fine crystal.
This domineering tiger hovered in the air on its four paws, exuding an eerie and domineering force that instantly silenced the once bustling mountain range.
“No wonder he dared to challenge Master Grau. It turns out to be the Five Peaks Crystal Tiger which is on the brink of extinction in the Beast Trainer Catalogue!” David couldn’t help but shake his head.

As a fierce beast with a notorious temper among the tiger overlords, the Five Peaks Crystal Tiger cares greatly about its territory.
Because the more territory it occupies, the stronger the power of the mountain range within its territory, the faster the Crystal Tiger’s cultivation.
In the process of growth, many weak Crystal Tigers fall due to competing with powerful beasts for territories. It is quite rare for a Five Peaks Crystal Tiger to grow to the apex amid constant competition.
“This is my territory, if you don’t want to start a war, leave here!” the Five- Peaks Tiger roared menacingly.
Master Grau let out a soft sigh, “Hey, have you seen the Vein Dominating Elephant here?”
The pupils of the Five-Peaks Tiger suddenly constricted.
“It seems you have seen it, but one thing you need to remember, Grau doesn’t like beasts talking down on me!” Grau’s huge mouth slightly opened, revealing a cold arc.
“Rumbling!”
Grau’s large black dragon wings, full of a deadly and wicked aura, suddenly flicked. With a loud explosion, his figure appeared behind the Five-Peaks Tiger. Then the dragon’s claws struck out with lightning speed, carrying a terrifying venom, tearing open the crystal surface of the Five-Peaks Tiger. A large amount of tiger blood splattered from Grau’s claws.
“Who gave you the courage to look me in the eye, you ant!” Grau’s overbearing voice echoed throughout the sky.
“Boom!” The mountain collapsed, and a violent shock wave was set off from the spot where the Five-Peaks Tiger fell.
