Chapter 0354: Should There Be No Objections?

Under everyone’s gaze, the rune finally covered the pile of Prime Beast Crystals in front of the Yellow Dragon.
The pile of Prime Beast Crystals began to change—a dazzling light burst forth. Fei De’s face lit up with joy, while the mocking expressions on the faces of the other disciples grew even stronger.
Fat Francis covered his face and said, “Forget it, I’d better not watch anymore.”
Chester frowned.
In front of the square, Kennedy and the three others stood there, their eyes flickering.
Suddenly, the dazzling light disappeared without the explosive sound everyone had expected. For a long time, nothing happened.
Beneath the rune, the pile of Prime Beast Crystals lay quietly on the ground, emitting a faint glow.
Everyone was stunned, once again showing expressions of disbelief.
No reaction?!
There must be something wrong with these Prime Beast Crystals. Shouldn’t they explode due to conflict with the power of the rune?! Could it be…? All the disciples held their breath and stared at the figure standing in front of the pile of Prime Beast Crystals. Gradually, amid their expressions of disbelief, shock, and confusion, a strange atmosphere began to spread through the space.
“Huh? No sound?! Why is it so quiet?!” Fat Francis covered his face. Unable to hear the explosion of the Prime Beast Crystals, he felt complete silence around him. Finding it strange, he pulled down his hand and opened his eyes. The moment he did, he opened his mouth wide and couldn’t close it again.
Chester’s expression wasn’t as exaggerated as Francis’s, but he too looked utterly incredulous.
On the square, no one could believe that these Prime Beast Crystals had no problems?!
If there were no problems, what did that mean? These Prime Beast Crystals must indeed have been obtained by hunting Prime Beasts from the Trial Island!
Kennedy, Bishop, Barret, and Donald also looked at the Yellow Dragon with expressions of shock and doubt.
“No, it’s impossible! How could he have hunted so many Prime Beasts?!” At that moment, a shrill voice broke the silence on the square.
Fei De pointed at the Yellow Dragon, shouting hoarsely.
Bishop frowned and said sternly, “Fei De!”
Hearing Bishop’s voice, Fei De’s mind snapped back to reality. He quickly said respectfully, “Elder, please forgive me and the other elders. This Yellow Sea cheated, which is why I lost control of my emotions in anger just now.”
Cheating? The Yellow Dragon sneered inwardly. This Fei De really wouldn’t give up.
“Cheating? If there’s no evidence, then do I have to go to the punishment hall to accuse you of framing me?” The Yellow Dragon’s gaze was icy.
Framing a family disciple also carried severe consequences.

Fied pointed angrily at the Yellow Dragon: “You!”
“Fied, enough! This place doesn’t tolerate your arrogance. Back off!” Elder Bishop raised his voice sharply, exuding pressure.
“Yes, Elder. Fied acknowledges his fault!” Fied quickly bowed in submission, his face turning pale and red. After bowing to Kennedy and the others, he respectfully stepped back.
Fat Francis watched Fied being humiliated and shifted his position, then whispered to Chester with a smile, “Look at Fied’s face—it’s even uglier than after eating shit. Great, damn great! Who does he think he is? With the clan leader and elders not saying anything, it’s not his turn to act arrogantly!”
“Does he really think this is his own estate?!”
Chester also felt amused and smiled, but his gaze at the Yellow Dragon was filled not only with disbelief but also confusion.
“Yellow Sea,” Kennedy’s voice rang out at that moment.
“Yes, Clan Leader,” replied the Yellow Dragon.
“These Primal Beast Crystals have been confirmed to be fine—they indeed come from the Primal Beasts on the Trial Island.” Kennedy’s expression showed no emotion as he paused briefly before continuing, “However, I’m very interested in your explanation for this.” He then glanced around at the disciples in the square and added, “I believe not only do I want to know the reason, but so do all the disciples.”
The Yellow Dragon’s face remained calm. “Yes, Clan Leader.”
He had expected this. Even if only less than one-thousandth of these Primal Beast Crystals were shown, Kennedy and the others would surely demand an explanation. After all, this was a trial, and when points were counted, the disciples needed a convincing reason. Moreover, the Yellow Dragon knew that if he failed to explain clearly, future troubles would only increase.
Bishop, Barret, and Donald stared at the Yellow Dragon, especially Bishop, whose eyes flickered. He was quite eager to see how the Yellow Dragon would explain this.
“Gerome, come out!” Under everyone’s gaze, the Yellow Dragon waved his hand. Then, a flash of light appeared, and a massive Primal Beast with green eyes and a fiery red body showed up before them.
As this huge, flame-breathing Primal Beast appeared, a powerful beastly aura spread out. Some of the disciples in the square were even forced to back away in shock.
“Is this a Higher Divine Primal Beast?!”
“No, is it a mutated Higher Divine Primal Beast?!”
“By the heavens, it seems to be a Higher Divine Chaos Mutated Primal Beast—Wind-Flame Dragon Scale?!”
“It’s the Wind-Flame Dragon Scale!”
“Wind-Flame Dragon Scale!”

On the square, the disciples stared at the massive primal beast before them and exclaimed in shock. Eventually, they recognized that the giant beast was likely the legendary Chaos Primal Beast, the Wind-Fire Dragon Lynx. Their expressions changed drastically as they exclaimed in awe. “A Higher Divine Chaos Mutated Primal Beast, the Wind-Fire Dragon Lynx?! Damn, is this Huang Hai’s battle pet? It’s incredibly powerful!” Fat Francis cried out, then added, “No wonder Brother Huang Hai has been able to hunt so many primal beasts!” Fat Francis’s voice spread throughout the square. Undoubtedly, there was no need for Huang Long to explain anything. This was the best proof that it didn’t violate the trial rules for a battle pet to fight alongside its master. Fei De’s expression turned grim, his eyes filled with shock, envy, jealousy, and even a hint of fierce greed. Higher Divine Chaos Mutated Primal Beasts were rare even within the Runing family. Higher Divine Mutated Primal Beasts might be purchasable with money, but this Higher Divine Chaos Mutated Primal Beast was definitely not something that could be bought with money. Moreover, the Wind-Fire Dragon Lynx was the king among all Chaos Primal Beasts! On the square, the eerie atmosphere seemed to vanish instantly, and all the disciples’ gazes turned toward the Chaos Mutated Primal Beast, the Wind-Fire Dragon Lynx. After emerging, it stood tall beside Huang Long, displaying its majestic presence. When Kennedy saw the Wind-Fire Dragon Lynx, he was also stunned for a moment before turning around with a smile on his face and praising Huang Long, “I never expected you to have a Higher Divine Mutated Chaos Primal Beast as your battle pet. This must be your good fortune.” Then he looked around at the disciples, “I assume everyone has no objections?” On the square, the disciples exchanged glances before finally admitting the truth. With complex expressions, they nodded respectfully and replied, “Reporting to the clan leader, we have no objections.” Kennedy nodded and was about to order the steward beside him to tally Huang Long’s points when suddenly Bishop spoke up, “Clan leader, Huang Hai is only a Middle Divine. How did he manage to tame a Higher Divine Mutated Chaos Primal Beast as his battle pet? Isn’t that suspicious? And even if he does have such a battle pet, it’s impossible for him to have hunted so many primal beasts!” He could tell that the Wind-Fire Dragon Lynx had just risen to the rank of Higher Divine. In terms of strength, even with Huang Long’s help, it couldn’t compare to Fei De, who was at the peak of level seven. On the square, all the disciples turned their attention to Huang Long, many of them with looks of schadenfreude. They were eager to see how Huang Long would explain himself this time. Kennedy frowned. “Watch Bishop.”

Bishop was momentarily speechless; this really had nothing to do with the trials on the Island of Trials. He snorted inwardly.
Huang Long had anticipated this situation long ago, remaining calm. Then he said to Kennedy, “Chieftain, I originally wanted to keep some secrets. Since the Grand Elder suspects me, I have no choice but to reveal the last of my secrets.” He then pretended to look helpless.
Huang Long sneered inwardly. Bishop’s actions actually served his own purposes. He had too many secrets, and he didn’t mind revealing a few when necessary. This way, the more attention Kennedy and the others paid him, the easier it would be for him to act within the Runing Family in the future—such as entering the Ancestral Dragon Pool!
Next, under everyone’s gaze, nine beams of light flashed, and eight people identical to Huang Long appeared beside him.
Time seemed to stop for a moment. The disciples in the square stared at the nine identical Huang Longs, their hearts seemingly struck hard.
“Eight, eight, eight divine avatars?!” Fat Francis exclaimed again.
But this time, no one paid attention to his cries; they continued to stare at the nine identical Huang Longs.
Kennedy and the others also stood frozen, especially Grand Elder Bishop, who couldn’t bear this “shock.” He clutched his chest and staggered.
Currently, among the eight supreme gods of the Netherworld, the most powerful one only had six divine avatars!
And that person was Kennedy!
Yet this disciple named Huang Hai actually had eight divine avatars!
Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx Zerom looked at Kennedy and the others with a mocking smirk. Eight divine avatars? You peasants, you wouldn’t know what spectacle it is to see a thousand and eight avatars annihilating an Original Beast in one strike.
Of course, these eight divine avatars were merely manifestations created by Huang Long using his “turning beans into soldiers” technique. The eight avatars each emitted eight types of energy—earth, gold, wood, fire, thunder, wind, light, and darkness—along with the water element, making a total of nine energy types.
Silence descended once again over the square.
“Someone!” Suddenly, Kennedy shouted excitedly.
“Here, Chieftain!” The guards surrounding the Runing Family replied respectfully.
“Seal off the square completely. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Anyone who leaks information will be punished according to the family’s strictest laws!” Kennedy didn’t hesitate anymore. Eight divine avatars? Good heavens, their Runing Family actually had a disciple with eight divine avatars!
This was the Netherworld—no, the only one of its kind in all the divine realms!
