CHAPTER 128: CHAPTER 128: BEAST TAMING ARMOR

Chu Chen didn’t hesitate and directly put the wooden box containing Dragon Blood into the Space Belt.

Then he quickly walked towards the wooden shelf on the west side.

Most of the time had already passed; he couldn’t afford any delay and immediately began checking the wooden boxes on the shelf.

He opened the first wooden box, discovering a crystal ball the size of an adult’s fist inside, with a few tiny characters engraved on it: "Snow Mountain Meditation Technique."

Chu Chen didn’t hesitate much and closed the wooden box directly; he had just exchanged for the "Lightning Meditation Technique" not long ago, and didn’t need another meditation technique.

This kind of crystal ball is called a Cultivation Technique Inheritance Pearl, similar to the Beast Taming Skill Inheritance Pearl; one can learn from it simply by injecting Soul Power.

Chu Chen quickly flipped through the wooden boxes; if there was a Cultivation Technique Inheritance Pearl inside, he would skip it directly.

Soon, he found Soul Skill Pearls in a wooden box. Unfortunately, the grade of these soul skills was too high for him to learn right now, so he had to exclude them.

Then he found the Beast Taming Skill Inheritance Pearl; as he was excitedly hoping to find a secret technique of the Wood Ant clan, he was disappointed to find nothing he wanted here.

A moment later, Chu Chen discovered a dusty wooden box in an inconspicuous corner, seemingly untouched for a long time. Curiously, he picked it up; it was heavy to hold, clearly of different quality than other wooden boxes.

He didn’t mind the dirt, took a handkerchief out of the Space Belt, and wiped it carefully, which led to a new discovery.

The wooden box was carved with many exquisite patterns, indicating that the box was not a common item.

Chu Chen cautiously opened the wooden box, finding a silver metal sphere inside.

It was only the size of a young girl’s fist, with densely packed mysterious runes engraved on its surface.

Chu Chen glanced at it, feeling a headache; these runes were extremely mysterious and he’d never seen them before.

Chu Chen carefully picked up the metal sphere, finding it almost weightless, as if holding a feather.

He slightly closed his eyes, searching through the memories in his mind.

A moment later, Chu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, filled with overwhelming joy.

He had seen this metal sphere online before and vaguely remembered its name as Beast Taming Armor.

Simply put, it’s equipment that Beast Taming can use.

The item is highly valuable and exceptionally rare, even hard to find with money.

Even the treasure vault of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School hadn’t seen it, which shows its rarity.

The usage isn’t difficult; one simply needs to inject Star Power from the Beast Taming.

However, having never used it before, he didn’t know its specific effects; Chu Chen dared not experiment with his own Guardian Beast.

After a brief consideration, Chu Chen decisively chose the item, carefully packed the wooden box, and walked out of the treasure vault.

At this time, Wang Haichuan was tasting good wine with Elder Wu.

Elder Wu put a peanut into his mouth and said with some curiosity, "This little guy has quite a few secrets, breaking through from the Yellow Rank Upper Grade cultivation talent to the War General Level Second Rank in a few short months, his combat power can actually match that of the Zhang Family’s little girl—the guy is really something."

"Indeed, but this matter must be kept secret. Though we don’t delve into his secrets, if this gets out, it may attract many predators," Wang Haichuan said earnestly.

"Hmm, how do you plan to handle it?"

"Currently, only a few people know the truth. The cultivation talent cannot be concealed, but his realm and true strength can be hidden. Only the Zhang Family knows, and since Zhang Family is our Alliance’s backbone, they wouldn’t kill their own genius."

"Hehe, this little guy is quite cautious; so far, only a few know his strength."

"Alas! He’s still too young; if it were me, I wouldn’t let anyone know my strength. The Zhang Family dares to use themselves as bait, naturally having life-saving means; in yesterday’s battle, he could have continued disguising."

Elder Wu suddenly waved his hand and said, "The little guy is about to come out; let’s see what he has chosen."

Wang Haichuan immediately stopped discussing, focusing on the treasure vault’s door.

Shortly, a handsome young boy appeared before them.

Chu Chen stepped forward respectfully and said, "City Lord, Elder Wu, I have already made my selections."

The two nodded upon hearing this. Elder Wu rose and walked to the treasure vault’s door, lifted his hand, and extracted the sphere embedded in the metal door, causing the metal door to sway slightly and then slowly fall.

"Chu Chen, what treasures did you choose, take them out and let’s have a look," Wang Haichuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly obliged, taking out two wooden boxes from the Space Belt, placing them carefully on the table before Wang Haichuan, then stepped back two steps.

Wang Haichuan raised his hand, opened the first wooden box, and, seeing the Dragon Blood inside, asked in puzzlement, "There are many treasures in the vault; why did you choose Dragon Blood?"

Chu Chen promptly explained in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Haichuan burst into laughter, "Haha, well done! As expected of the good youth of Celestial Star City. If everyone thought like you, Celestial Star City would be impregnable."

"Alas! Those cowardly people make me so angry," Elder Wu sighed.

Wang Haichuan’s face also turned dark upon hearing this, but he said nothing, opening the second wooden box instead.

Upon seeing the metal sphere inside, his expression changed dramatically, and he covered the box, saying sternly, "This item is not acceptable; you need to go back to the vault and choose another item."

Chu Chen was stunned upon hearing this, wondering if the item’s value was too high, causing Wang Haichuan to go back on his word. He dared not refute and could only reply softly.

Elder Wu slowly spoke, "What’s the point in this? It’s been so many years already, can’t you just let it go?"

Wang Haichuan didn’t respond, only holding onto the wooden box tighter.

Seeing this, Elder Wu persuaded again, "A hidden gem; this Beast Taming Armor has been gathering dust in the vault for over a decade. Many have entered the vault, but none have picked it. This time the little guy took it out—it’s fate. Perhaps Han Yue also doesn’t want this Beast Taming Armor to stay dust-covered here forever."

At the mention of Han Yue, Wang Haichuan’s body trembled, his eyes concealed tears, and an overwhelming sadness emanated from him.

It seemed these words touched the softest part of his heart.

After a long silence, Wang Haichuan sighed, "Perhaps this is destiny. I hope you cherish it and don’t disgrace Han Yue’s name." With that, he stuffed the wooden box into Chu Chen’s hand and quickly left.
