Chapter 372 - Epic. Abnormal Lands (1/2)

Huang Juyun was fretting about this, too.

Although only a few days had passed, he realized that it wasn’t so simple to find suitable epic-quality subdued beasts.

After all, the Zhen family had been around in Bei Du for a long time, with an extensive network of connections. Many clans weren’t willing to offend the Zhen family by selling their epic-quality beast cards to the Huang family.

Of course, if the Huang family could pay the price, they wouldn’t mind. However, this would practically be like robbing a burning house.

Take the Ou family, for example. They had conveyed the news that they had a six-star epic-quality beast card, but the price they offered had left Huang Juyun cursing: a square foot of spiritual jade in exchange.

This was simply a robbery! A square foot of spiritual jade was worth close to a hundred million purple crystal points! That was almost the price of two seven-star epic-quality beast cards, and yet they dared to offer such an astronomical price for a six-star epic-quality beast card. They were simply asking for too much!

To be fair, clans with epic-quality beast cards weren’t usually looking to sell them. Their actual price might be much higher. But, it couldn’t be that high!

Huang Juyun didn’t agree to their offer right away.

Things weren’t at the end of the line yet. He just couldn’t endure getting cut so deeply. Otherwise, he would have to be prepared to get cut even deeper to purchase other beast cards.

Moreover, there was still no news of Zhang Che at present. Huang Juyun wasn’t sure if Zhang Che could reach Tier Six before he returned.

It’d be fine if he managed to achieve Tier Six. Huang Juyun would have nothing to complain about getting ripped off. That spiritual jade was Zhang Che’s to begin with; for the sake of obtaining victory at the match, bleeding a little was still endurable.

But what if Zhang Che failed to achieve Tier Six?

With that, let alone being ripped off, it wouldn’t even be of help to Zhang Che at all! Not only would it be a problem for Zhang Che’s safety in this battle, even the Huang family’s reputation would be affected!

“Hopefully this kid comes back soon and has risen to Tier Six. Otherwise, the match will be really dangerous…”

Naturally, wanting Zhang Che to delay his return to avoid the match was impossible.

Unless Zhang Che had disappeared from the world, whenever he returned, the match would take place as planned.

Not only that, he wouldn’t be allowed to delay the match indefinitely, either!

If Zhang Che didn’t show up for three consecutive months, then it would be taken as him admitting defeat. In the future, whatever dirty tricks the Zhen family tried to pull, the brass would close one eye to them, or they might even be biased towards the Zhen family!

That was definitely not a solution Zhang Che and the Huang family could afford!

At that moment, Huang Juyun’s personal terminal suddenly vibrated.

He opened it in a hurry. A faint look of surprise showed on his face. After the call connected, he smiled, saying, “How is it, Old Chang? Have you decided to sell your family’s epic-quality beast card to me?”

“I say, you don’t go too overboard with me now. Going by the market price, an ordinary six-star epic-quality beast card cost less than ten million purple crystal points. The spiritual jade I promised you is already worth close to three times that!”

“Alright, I’ll give you another thirty percent, but you have to promise the attributes of your epic-quality beast card mustn’t be too trash! We’re brothers that have known each other for many years. You can’t set me up like that, can you?”

“Alright, I’ll come over right away then. If your beast card is indeed as good as you said, we’ll complete the exchange immediately!”

After the call ended, Huang Juyun had an overjoyed look on his face. He had finally gotten the first epic-quality beast card. It’d be about right if he found two more.

Two for fighting, and one kept for reserve.

Epic-quality subdued beasts were unlike legendary, or dark gold-quality. It wasn’t like the more you have, the stronger you were.

Since epic-quality subdued beasts had False Domains, the False Domains of different types of epic-quality subdued beasts would not only greatly affect their enemies, they would also restrain the False Domains of the other epic-quality beasts their owner had to a certain degree, especially epic-quality beasts with conflicting attributes, like fire element and ice element False Domains.

If a beastmaster used those two types of subdued beasts in battle at the same time, not only would their strength not amplify, but due to the two conflicting False Domains, they might even lead to their overall strength being diminished.

In other words, a beastmaster could only use two epic-quality subdued beasts in battle at one time at the most, and the two subdued beasts could not have restraining attributes with one another.

Any more than that was unfeasible, because even if you had three epic-quality subdued beasts, and their False Domains didn’t restrain one another too obviously, they would still be greatly affected, and their combat strength might not be comparable to just two.

So, the combat strength of beastmasters with epic-quality or higher subdued beasts wasn’t like the more you had, the stronger you were. It was the exact opposite. Even if all of your subdued beasts were epic-quality, but if you dared to summon them all out at the same time, the results would be something else. The enemies didn’t even have to come attack; your side would plunge into chaos first.

“Hopefully the attributes of the epic-quality beast Old Chang’s family has aren’t too fierce, or it’d be hard to find a complementary one.”

After praying silently, Huang Juyun immediately instructed his adjutant to go prepare a car. At the same time, he cut a small piece off of the large spiritual jade and left in a hurry.

Looking at the spiritual jade worth around forty million purple crystal points in the car, Huang Juyun immediately felt his heart aching.
