After returning to Chuxin Town, he had a good night’s sleep at home.

  Early in the next morning, he was woken up by his mother. Her mother asked, “Fang Yuan, what was the cage that you sent home last time?”


  Fang Yuan was eating breakfast. After his mother reminded him, then only he remembered the steel cage and he told his mother about the battle with the pet hunter.

  “You and your father really have the same characters.” His mother shook her head and said, “Don’t always make me worry. Those people do not have bottom line. They are dangerous criminals, understand? Next time, stay far away and call the police……”


  While his mother was nagging, Fang Yuan sneaked out of the house.

  With the gryphon, it was really convenient to move around in the city. In the past, he had to take the school bus. Now, he only took less than ten minutes to reach the school.

  This time, he was heading straight for the principal because he had already challenged five of the six great arcane realms, leaving only the fire arcane realm.

  “You actually completed the five great arcane realm certification in less than a month?” The principal picked up Fang Yuan’s pendant and looked at it. That’s right, it was indeed the wind, thunder, earth, grass and water five elements certification. Moreover, looking at the stars on the pendant, it was a grade three arcane realm certification.

  But, was Fire Country’s level three arcane realm certification open to high school students?

  Principal Yao Yuan felt that it was unbelievable. For the students of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it was usually sufficient for them to obtain a level two arcane realm certification. Moreover, only level two arcane realms could be found all over the country. A level three arcane realm was considered a precious resource and it would not be open to outsiders at all.

  “That’s right.” Fang yuan nodded and said, “Principal, I am only lacking the fire arcane realm certification now. Do you know of any existence of fire arcane realm nearby?”


  The reason why the Fire Country was named as such was because the number and the strength of the fire type pet beasts in the country were far exceeding those of other countries.

  Almost every city had a fire arcane realm, which was why those admissions offices had forgotten about the fire arcane realm. But……most of them were only level one and level two fire arcane realm. Fang Yuan had already obtained the level three arcane realm certification, so……

  “On the mountain behind our school, there is a level two fire arcane realm, but you want to challenge a level three arcane realm……”


  The principal said, “A level three fire arcane realm can only be found in the Holy Capital, which is the city where Heavenly Secret Pavilion is located.”


  The principal was not aware of the hundred-fold strengthening system, so he had some concerns. However, Fang Yuan replied, “It’s okay, I’ll just treat it as a practice session.”


  “Alright.” He had no choice but to be biased towards an outstanding student like Fang Yuan. He took out a pen and wrote a letter of introduction. He handed it to Fang Yuan and said, “The person guarding the fire arcane realm is my friend. You can just give him the letter.”
……

  Three days later, they finally arrived at the final arcane realm —


  The fire arcane realm.

  After defeating this arcane realm, they would have to challenge Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

  During this period of time, he had pieced together some information about Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Heavenly Secret Pavilion itself was also a arcane realm, but its level seemed to be different from the levels of the outside world. The only thing that could be confirmed was that its level was definitely above level four. This also meant that the platinum pet beast was only an ordinary pet beast in the pavilion.

  Every year, the students from Heavenly Secret Pavilion would be directly recruited by Fire Country’s core departments, but their whereabouts were unknown.

  “If there were those strong practitioners from Heavenly Secret Pavilion, then the calamity at the border back then would not have occurred.” Fang Yuan thought to himself. Even he, who was at the entry level of Heavenly Secret Pavilion was able to resolve the magical beast invasion incident, how could those big shots who had challenged all sorts of arcane realms be inferior to him? Furthermore he was a newbie who did not even know the skills of a trainer.

  Thinking of this, Fang Yuan also felt that it was strange. But this problem would be solved as soon as he entered the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. The most important thing now was to complete the mission and obtain the final certification of fire arcane realm.

  The fire arcane realm looked even more terrifying than other arcane realms, because one could feel the high temperature all the time. Burning flames could be seen everywhere in between the earth and the sky.

  Suddenly Fang Yuan thought of something and immediately turned his head around.

  “As expected……”


  Fang Yuan saw a bald man in a monk’s clothes.

  “How did you know I am here?”


  The bald man was a little shocked. How could he be seen?

  “You guardians like to stand behind the trainers and act mysterious.” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at him. He was no longer a newbie who had just challenged the earth arcane realm.

  “Well, you really have a sense of humor,” the bald man said. “I am the guardian of the fire arcane realm. My name is Fire Monk.”


  Fang Yuan did not reply. He was waiting for the other party to give order.

  “Since you have already obtained the certification of five arcane realms, I won’t keep you in suspense anymore. Defeat me, and you can take away the certification of the fire arcane realm.” After saying that, the fire monk took a battle stance.

  “Fight the guardian directly?” Fang Yuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

  “Of course not with me, but with my pets.” The fire monk straightened his body. “This is a habit of mine as a pugilist in the past. I’m sorry.”
……

  Fang Yuan followed the fire monk into the dojo. The temperature in the dojo was very high, but it was still relatively cool compared to the outside.

  In the dojo, there was a huge arena. It looked like the duel was going to take place on the arena.

  “How many fire-type pet beasts do you have?”


  “One.”


  “Alright, let’s get to the finals then.” The fire monk closed his eyes and then summoned a five-meter-tall rock that was covered in lava. The temperature in the surroundings increased tremendously.

  [ Scientific name: Lava Beast. ]

  [ Bloodline: Flame Demon. ]

  [ Quality: Platinum high-grade. ]

  [ Attributes: Fire, earth, beast. ]

  [ Positioning: Attack/defense. ]

  [ Skills: ??? ]

  Fang Yuan could not see the lava behemoth’s skills, but he was not afraid at all. He summoned the gale hound.

  The battle between the gale hound and the vine lizard was still vivid in his mind. Fang Yuan also remembered its fighting style. The loyalty of the gale hound was originally very low, but after Fang Yuan repaired its damaged core (the power of the system), the loyalty of the gale hound had reached 100 points, and it could be controlled by Fang Yuan.

  “Oh, a platinum high-grade gale hound is indeed a very powerful pet beast,” the fire monk praised. But then he changed the topic and said, “It’s good at fighting with wild beasts, but when facing a rock that can’t be bitten, its combat strength will be reduced by at least half.” At this point, the fire monk even laughed, “Little friend, you may be very lucky, but in the face of true strength, you can only lose.”


  Fang Yuan was also unwilling to be outdone, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He said, “Don’t keep talking big. I fought all the way with the descendants of the divine beasts, so there’s no such thing like relying on luck like you’ve said.”


  “Oh? If it wasn’t relying on luck, how did you obtain a grade-five soul stone from a grade-three secret realm?”


  Hearing this, Fang Yuan indeed revealed a shocked expression.

  In order to challenge the fire arcane realm, he had given the grade-five red soul stone on Ah Li’s body, which increased its fire resistance, to the gale hound. From the outside, it could not be seen. This person, no, this guardian, was a man of substance.
