CHAPTER 678: CHAPTER 170: THE HOTTEST TICKETS

Ancestor Master Zong Ren himself was a formidable Summoner and Artifact Refiner.

Although he was casual by nature, he was most committed to his word and honor.

Once he acknowledged Yun Sheng as his master, he was utterly devoted.

About two years ago, he happened to be escorting a batch of medicinal herbs back to Yujing for the Magic Medicine Store when he stumbled upon a fierce Seventh-tier Bat Dragon on a secluded island.

Using his capabilities as a Holy Beast Summoner, coupled with the presence of a Bat Dragon King of the Commander level, Zong Ren easily subdued those big guys.

He simply used the replicated Beast Language Ring to equip multiple Hunter Soldiers of the Sky Hunting Corps with their dedicated Flying Magical Beasts.

That is the origin of this group of fifty members of the Flying Demon Beast Army.

"However, my young master, the ring you created for the Commander is far superior to the batch I replicated. Those Hunter Soldiers can only control the Flying Magical Beasts; they still can’t achieve the proficiency of a Summoner," Zong Ren put in a lot of effort but couldn’t create a ring identical to Yun Sheng’s replicated Beast Language Ring.

Unlike Yun Canglang who can directly assist in battle through the Blood Cloud Crocodile, other Hunter Soldiers can only control the flight of the Bat Dragons, but they can’t personally combat with them.

"Master Zongren really went through a lot of trouble. Just the sight of those fifty Bat Dragons standing is enough to scare someone to death," Yun Sheng said with a chuckle and without further comment.

The Beast Language Ring she replicated for Uncle Yun was an exact copy of the one left by her mother, with the internal structure being eight to nine parts similar.

However, when Zong Ren tried to replicate it, he only grasped the surface and couldn’t delve into the actual structure of the ring. Thus, the replicated Beast Language Rings he created could not fully perform the functions of the original.

However, for the ordinary Hunter Soldiers of the Sky Hunting Corps with moderate cultivation, using Flying Magical Beasts was already more than sufficient.

At the very least, the spectacle they presented just now at the city gates was quite impressive.

"Uncle, why didn’t Auntie accompany you here?" Yun Sheng found a hostel for everyone, and during check-in, she noticed several familiar faces in the accompanying troop.

Among them were Zhou Quan and Huang Que, the famously antagonistic duo, whose strength had clearly increased a lot since over two years ago when Yun Sheng left Yujing.

But Yuan Shahu, her sister-in-law, was conspicuously absent, which puzzled Yun Sheng.

"Your Auntie is pregnant with twins; the Imperial Physician has seen her and says she’s already six months along, so it’s inconvenient for her to move around. She really misses you and made a fuss about coming together, but since it’s not convenient for her, I didn’t let her," said Yun Canglang, revealing a tender expression full of love when mentioning his wife, Yuan Shahu.

The marriage between Yun Canglang and Yuan Shahu had its trials and tribulations. Following their wedding, they encountered the misfortunes of Yun Sheng’s disappearance and the downfall of the Yun Residence.

Busy with such events, Yun Canglang had no time to care for his wife. It wasn’t until the matters of the Sky Hunting Corps were somewhat resolved that the couple started planning to have children.

"Haha, Uncle, you’re quite something, having twins on the first go," Yun Sheng shared in the joy wholeheartedly, genuinely happy for her uncle.

"Hey, Young Master Yun, you stop jabbering with the Commander; we’re all about to die of fatigue and hunger here. Find us a place to rest and eat quickly; I can’t wait to go explore the city," Zhou Quan said.

It was Zhou Quan’s first time in Sky Wing City, and the moment he arrived, his mouth gaped open as he looked around everywhere.

It’s just too bad that there was an order from the Commander that before finding accommodations, no one should split up and act on their own.

"Master, this Sky Wing City is really something else. It’s truly worthy of being the top arena city in the world! Yujing is already in the cold December, yet here it feels just like spring," said Zong Ren.

Huang Que’er rolled her eyes at Zhou Quan; it had been a long time since she last saw Yun Sheng, and she deeply missed her own master.

What Huang Que’er mentioned was exactly what the other Hunter Soldiers were also curious about.

Though they were Martial Artists, unafraid of the severe cold, arriving at Sky Wing City had nonetheless astonished them.

The city was brimming with blossoming flowers, surrounded by lush greenery, utterly unlike anywhere else on the continent.

"Beneath Sky Wing City, there’s a massive Magic Array. Not only does it keep the entire city afloat in the sky, but it also maintains the city at a constant temperature throughout the seasons. The scenery here is beautiful. If we’re free tomorrow, I’ll take everyone for a walk around," Yun Sheng explained.

This was something Tian Yiyu had told her.

Although there is a Magic Array, its exact location remains unknown due to the cloud cover.

"Sky Wing City really is a nice place. When Que’er and I eventually wed, we’ll buy a house here and raise a whole bunch of children," Zhou Quan said with a chuckling smile on the side.

"Who’s getting married to you, and who’s going to have a bunch of kids with you?" Huang Que’er said, getting flustered after hearing this and not caring that others were present, she fiercely twisted Zhou Quan’s arm.

Zhou Quan yelped in pain; these two clowns were always bickering in the camp, but fortunately, their affection for each other grew stronger by the day, and everyone else would just laugh without comment.

Seeing this, Yun Sheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, thinking to herself about when she should ask Uncle Yun to play matchmaker and settle their affair.

Donghuang Lingling, standing aside, watched the people of the Hunting Corps get along so harmoniously, like one big family, and felt both moved and envious.

She was truly envious of Yun Sheng, who could laugh so freely and had a father and relatives who loved her dearly, unlike herself... who had recklessly left her family behind.

"Oh right, Uncle, I forgot to introduce you to my good sister, Donghuang Lingling," Yun Sheng said, seeing Donghuang Lingling standing alone. She pulled her over to Yun Canglang and began the introductions.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Yun," Donghuang Lingling said, feeling somewhat anxious.

Donghuang?

Yun Canglang looked at Donghuang Lingling sharply.

From her temperament and appearance, Yun Canglang immediately recognized Donghuang Lingling’s identity, but he did not express it outright.

It was the first time Yun Canglang heard Yun Sheng introduce a friend, and he was supportive of any friend his smart niece chose, regardless of their background or heritage.

"Ms. Donghuang, I’m entrusting Sheng’er to your care," Yun Canglang said amiably, without showing any hint of surprise.

This made Donghuang Lingling breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Zhou Quan, having been pinched by Huang Que’er, found her sulking to one side.

After unsuccessfully pleading with her a few times, Zhou Quan hurriedly escaped over here, still crying out, "Young Master Yun, Que’er is angry, you have to think of something to cheer her up."

"Zhou Quan, you brought this trouble on yourself. Besides, what can I possibly do to amuse Que’er?" Yun Sheng said, amused.

Scratching his head, Zhou Quan remembered, "Oh right, Young Master Yun, you’ve spent so much time at the Sky Wings Arena, do you have any way to get inside information about the arena? If that’s not possible, could you help me get a ticket to the annual competition? Ah, no, make that two."
