Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7616

Chapter 7531: Utterly Wrong

The entire Upper Inverted Tower is about a third the size of a third-level star system.

Even though there are countless treasures within, they aren’t scattered everywhere. Every team needs to patiently spend time searching.

Therefore, Li Tianming wasn’t in a hurry. Compared to other teams, they had a natural advantage. The longer Li Tianming stayed in the Upper Inverted Tower, the more silver dust spread out, and the stronger his control over the overall situation became.

Everything was proceeding steadily in secret.

Ji Xuanjian and Li Tianming walked slightly closer, almost side by side, while Wan Yao and the others followed behind Li Tianming.

“Brother Tianming, we’ve already wasted so much time. Aren’t you really in a hurry to find treasures?” Huangfu Yu was puzzled by Li Tianming’s unhurried manner.

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Aren’t we looking? We’re just looking a little slowly.”

“But, which other team isn’t searching at full speed, trying to explore the entire Upper Inverted Tower in an instant? They’re all so leisurely,” Wan Yao said, also somewhat hesitant.

“That’s a huge mistake. If we sprint through the universe at full speed and exhaust our power, what if we encounter an opponent before we’ve fully recovered? Our plan is the complete opposite: we seek treasures by chance while conserving our strength to deal with any potential battles. That’s the key to victory!” Li Tianming said confidently, sounding quite serious.

“Tch! You’re just making things up. Who would believe you?” Ji Xuanjian bluntly exposed him.

“I’m telling the truth. Our team’s strength is uneven. Acting rashly will only backfire. This is the only way to go further.” Seeing that the other party didn’t believe him, Li Tianming calmly explained with a smile.

“Hiss… You make it sound like you actually have some merit.” Ji Xuanjian frowned and stroked his chin.

During their conversation, the ‘Five Good Youths’ team had already traveled quite a distance from the entrance.

During this time, they didn’t encounter any other teams.

In fact, there wasn’t just one entrance to the Upside-Down Tower; there were many similar spatial passages.

The star-ranked geniuses, already scattered and sent to the Upside-Down Tower in batches, were even less likely to encounter them, not to mention that Li Tianming and his group had spent a considerable amount of time dealing with the Illusion Wing team.

After witnessing Li Tianming’s prowess, Huangfu Yu followed behind him and asked curiously, “Brother Tianming, what’s your strength now? Those people were utterly weak in your hands; you beat them like it was nothing.”

“Yeah, I remember you weren’t this strong in the first round, were you?” Wan Yao also asked curiously.

“Guess,” Li Tianming chuckled.

“I think Brother Tianming must have been holding back. He didn’t even go all out in the first round. If his breakthrough speed is really that fast, wouldn’t that be defying the heavens?” Xiangqin fell into deep thought for a moment, then seemed to realize something and suddenly said, “Could it be that Brother Tianming is now at the eighth-order Divine Seed Realm? Only in this way can he have reached the point of overwhelming those people?”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming just smiled and said, “More or less.”

Huangfu Yu showed an expression of certainty at this moment, “So Brother Tianming didn’t take them seriously from the beginning. No wonder he dared to confront even the people from the Wan Yi Ancient Sect. He has confidence in his heart!”

“Great! Now our chances have increased even more. Maybe we can really climb to a higher level than before in the Wan Zong Emperor Battle!” Wan Yao clenched his fist and waved it excitedly.

Faced with everyone’s excitement, Li Tianming just smiled.

In fact, if he went all out, he would be completely invincible at the Divine Seed Realm! Of

course, he didn’t need to let people know too much right now, after all, the bigger the tree, the more the wind would blow!

However, Ji Xuanjian reacted differently from everyone else.

She squinted at Li Tianming beside her, seemingly suspicious, and said, “While you might not be at the top tier of the participants in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, you’re really strange to the people of the Outer Frontier!”

Li Tianming smiled calmly and replied, “Even if the Outer Frontier is a wasteland compared to the Inner Frontier, with such a vast territory and so many cosmic beings, it’s normal for a slightly stronger genius to occasionally appear, right?”

“You know yourself, this situation is extremely rare,” Ji Xuanjian said thoughtfully, rubbing her chin.

During this process, she circled around Li Tianming, occasionally lifting his arm to poke and examine him, as if studying a star puppet intently.

“Speaking of which… what race are you? Those people were too weak in the battle just now; I didn’t even see you display your skills much,” Ji Xuanjian asked curiously.

At this moment, Wan Yao and the others also craned their necks, equally curious about this!

Li Tianming smiled and said, “To be honest, I am a hybrid of many races, possessing a little bit of the abilities of many races, including the Hunyuan Clan and the Xingjie Clan.”

He was quite frank, knowing that if there were higher-level battles that required serious attention later, he wouldn’t be able to hide this fact.

However, these words deeply shocked Wan Yao and the others.

“What? Multi-race?” Huangfu Yu’s eyes widened instantly.

“But… although this kind of bloodline has many methods, they are often numerous but not refined, and may even hinder one’s cultivation level.” Xiang Qin hesitated at this moment.

Ji Xuanjian, besides being surprised, seemed to have a hint of regret, “Even with your advancement speed being slowed down, you have still managed to reach this level. If you were from any single bloodline, you would probably have already soared to great heights.”

“I personally don’t feel like I’ve suffered a loss. At least I’ve gained decent combat power, haven’t I?” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Perhaps.” Ji Xuanjian smiled, not changing his attitude because of Li Tianming’s identity.

Multi-race bloodlines, no matter in any universe or star system, are often looked down upon, and ordinary people probably wouldn’t easily tell others.

However, Wan Yao and the others understood Li Tianming’s extraordinary strength.

What did they mean by “hidden obstacles in cultivation”? Even without such obstacles, others might not be as strong as Li Tianming. What right did those who boasted of their noble bloodlines have to look down on him?

Of course, Li Tianming’s true identity as a member of the Stealing Heaven Clan was a secret that absolutely could not be revealed to others; his multi-race heritage was merely a shield.

During their time together, Li Tianming suddenly realized that even though Ji Xuanjian’s princess identity had been exposed among them, she remained carefree and didn’t act like a noble princess at all.

She seemed to have completely embraced the role of ‘Brother Ji,’ seeing herself as the young man named Ji Xuanjian.

But Li Tianming then thought it made sense; a truly dignified princess wouldn’t have run away from home and infiltrated another group.
