CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 333: DIVINE BEAST RANKING_2

"If only I were a bit younger," she couldn’t help but think to herself.

Very soon, Chen Mo handed the shell to Guangyu, letting the Unicorn of Light begin the test.

The color of the Sound Keeping Shell remained red! And the age was only 12 years!

"Crowned!? A 12-year-old Overlord level Spiritual Beast???"

"Wow! Which power secretly cultivated these two geniuses?"

...

The crowd began to stir restlessly.

The Overlord and the Lord are completely different concepts.

The potential of the vast majority of Spiritual Beast species can only reach Lord at most.

For 99% of Spirit Masters and Spiritual Beasts, with some effort, reaching Master level and Monarch level is still possible, but Overlord level is a peak and dream they can never climb!

"Sister Meng, what number are you? I am No. 699 in group B."

Chen Mo said.

Group B should represent the Monarch level competition.

And Number 699 means that before him, 698 Monarch level Spiritual Beasts or Master Spirit Masters had already signed up for the competition.

With a week left until registration closes, this number is a bit terrifying.

Chen Mo remembered that in last year’s Daoist School competition, the number of Spirit Masters who had Spiritual Beasts at Monarch level did not exceed 300, which was already the vast majority of Master Spirit Masters in Dongxia.

The number of Masters in one Jizhou province is almost comparable to the total number of Master Spirit Masters in all countries on Blue Star!

Of course, this is related to Jizhou’s high concentration of Spiritual Energy and abundant resources.

"I am No. 68 in group A."

Chen Meng registered for the Overlord level competition.

In past Canglan Grand Ceremonies, the number of Overlord level Spiritual Beasts participating never exceeded three digits.

"To repay the favor of saving me, I will take you to Canglan Restaurant for a big meal! We can also scout some intelligence on the opponents while we’re at it!"

The White Dragon Lady volunteered.

Restaurants and hotels, such mixed places, are always the best spots to gather intelligence!

"Alright."

The [Traveling Mage] entry lights up a travel coordinate, needing to taste local delicacies, and Chen Mo happens to want to experience the specialties of Canglan Palace.

Quickly, the two humans and one dragon arrived at an 18-story restaurant, with each floor over 10 meters high, presumably to accommodate some giant Spiritual Beasts.

Just as they entered the entrance of the restaurant, a gem-covered Jewel Lizard ran over.

In its hand were several Sound Recording Seashells, making it look somewhat comedic. When it injected Spiritual Power into one of the Sound Recording Seashells, a gentle female voice emerged:

"Three patrons, would you like to buy the latest Divine Beast List information?"

It was standard Jizhou dialect.

"Let’s have one! How much?"

The White Dragon Lady directly communicated with it through telepathy.

"50 Spirit Coins for one copy!"

The Jewel Lizard injected Spiritual Power into another Sound Recording Seashell, and the female voice sounded again.

"Why don’t you go rob someone! 10 Spirit Coins!"

The White Dragon Lady directly haggled to a 20% discount.

The Jewel Lizard nodded and pressed another Sound Recording Seashell.

"Deal."

Seeing the Jewel Lizard agree so swiftly, the White Dragon Lady suddenly felt she might not have haggled hard enough...

"Didn’t expect there to be a ranking here too."

Chen Mo sighed.

Wherever there are people, there is competition indeed.

"Senior, this Divine Beast List includes the strongest Spiritual Beasts of each level in Jizhou, many of which are opponents we’ll encounter in this Canglan Grand Ceremony. Let’s eat and study it!"

With that, the White Dragon Lady already entered the restaurant.

As the Canglan Grand Ceremony approached, many Spirit Masters and Spiritual Beasts came to the Canglan Palace, and private rooms were fully booked.

Chen Mo and his companions weren’t picky and chose a spot in the hall, starting to study the "Divine Beast List" the White Dragon Lady just bought.

It was a thick book, with each page depicting a powerful Spiritual Beast that seemed vivid and even swayed slightly, with its related information beside it.

These books were revised by the Spirit Masters from the Book Demon Sect. Having captured a touch of these Spiritual Beasts’ divine charm during their transcription, they looked very lifelike.

Each year, these brought substantial revenue to the Book Demon Sect.

"The Divine Beast List consists of four lists: Overlord List, Monarch List, Commander List, and Extraordinary List, featuring the top 100 Spiritual Beasts in Jizhou of these levels, most of which achieved rankings in the last Canglan Conference."

The White Dragon Lady explained while flipping the pages.

On the first page was depicted an Ice Dragon covered in sapphire-like icy crystalline dragon scales with wings.

[Overlord List Rank 1: Iron Armor Cold Dragon]

[Attributes: Ice, Dragon]

[Growth Rank: Overlord Ninth Rank]

[Beast Master: None]

[Affiliated Power: Canglan Palace]

[Reason for Ranking: First place in the last Canglan Grand Ceremony, it defeated the similarly ranked Overlord Ninth Rank Lord of Bishui in merely 2 minutes, hailed as the closest Spiritual Beast to a totem!]

"This Iron Armor Cold Dragon has lived for hundreds of years, being the Spiritual Beast of the former Canglan Palace Master many generations ago. It was an Overlord Ninth Rank back then, and it’s probably reached the pinnacle of Overlord level now."

The White Dragon Lady said enviously.

Chen Mo and Xinghai’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Chen Meng sighed, already guessing these two guys were definitely thinking about "plucking dragon hairs" again.

Every time they saw Dragon Clan Spiritual Beasts, they wanted to collect their Dragon Blood!

Turning a few more pages, the Overlord List’s growth rank decreased significantly towards the end.

From ranking 70, it’s Overlord First Stage Spiritual Beasts.

In terms of growth rank, Guangyu could even rank in the top 50!

"Let’s take a look at the Monarch level leaderboard!"

This time, Chen Mo intended to push for the leaderboard, maybe even take the championship.

As long as their names appeared on the list, they would "leave their footprints," and light up the travel coordinate here.

"Woo!"

Xiao Jiu couldn’t wait any longer, eager to check out this competition’s competitors.

It had been a long time without any evenly matched opponents!

The baby cup matches had already become tiresome.

On the first page of the Monarch list was a Spiritual Beast in light lake-blue veils, resembling a human.

Were it not for her long ears and overly tall figure, many would likely mistake her for a Water Element Spirit Master.

[Overlord List Rank 1: Lake Immortal]

[Attributes: Water]

[Growth Rank: Monarch Ninth Rank]

[Beast Master: Cang Lan]

[Affiliated Power: Canglan Palace]

[Reason for Ranking: First place in the last Canglan Grand Ceremony, Lake Spirit’s perfectly evolved form. Possesses mythical bloodline, racial rank is totem level. Had defeated an Overlord level Spiritual Beast head-on at Monarch Eighth Rank!]

"Woo!" (So strong!)

The battle-loving Xiao Jiu started getting excited.

In its normal state, even with a full set of entries, it could only barely contend with an Overlord First Stage Spiritual Beast.

It’s no match for this Lake Immortal.

Under the Nine-layered Heavenly Fire and frenzied burning state, maybe it could fight it!

However, if it could refine its proficiency with the Nine-layered Heavenly Fire to master level in the next week, its combat power could significantly increase!

The Wish-making White Fox thought silently, deciding to retreat and train for 10 days first!

It wanted to see the limits of the double-roll king!

Chen Mo turned a page.

[Overlord List Rank 2: Golden Dragon Turtle]

[Attributes: Water]

[Growth Rank: Monarch Ninth Rank]

[Beast Master: Cang Lan]

[Affiliated Power: Canglan Palace]

[Reason for Ranking: Possesses mythical bloodline, racial rank is totem level. Entirely covered with golden dragon scales, its defensive power is astounding, mastering multiple king-ranked moves. Once held out for an hour under the fierce assault of a high-ranked Overlord. First place in the last Canglan Grand Ceremony!]

"Who is this Cang Lan? So formidable!"

Chen Mo couldn’t help but ask.

The top two divine pets on the Monarch list were her Spiritual Beasts.

Definitely a formidable opponent indeed!

"The granddaughter of the current Canglan Palace Master, born at the peak, possessing many top-level Spiritual Beasts and resources."

The White Dragon Lady said a bit sourly.

"Woo—"

Seeing the information on the Golden Dragon Turtle, Xinghai’s fighting spirit also ignited.

Its specialty is defense, and it wanted to see who was harder!

"Ge!" (A bunch of scums, the Ice Emperor will obliterate them all!)

The little blue bird declared dominantly, wearing sunglasses.

No matter, it will act!

"Eek!"

The Time Brown Spirit said it and Chen Mo would handle the logistics, ensuring everyone would have plenty of delicious and nutritious food during this time!

"Woo!" "Moni!" ...

Upon hearing this, all the Spiritual Beasts showed looks of anticipation.

Even the Unicorn of Light and the White Dragon Lady were no exceptions.
