24 Grandpa Jun’s Dilemma (2/2)
Moreover, Jun Mo Xie’s personality…
”Old Pang, what are your thoughts on this matter? What should I plan for Mo Xie’s future? Should I send him to study? But, I don’t think that my grandson has been designed for something like that. Should I get him trained in the military? But, he isn’t designed for that either. He can neither endure pain nor training. Should I send him to do business? But, I’m afraid that he’ll lose money to the extent of being unable to buy a coffin for me. Am I left with no other choice than to leave him as a wastrel waiting for his death?” Grandpa Jun sighed and said.
Old Pang seemed to have become frustrated. He tried to comfort Jun Zhan Tian and replied, ”There have been changes in Young Master’s personality recently. It seems that he’s himself trying to achieve something… and become a new person. He’s still quite young. I don’t think that it’s too late for anything.”
”I hate this kind of a hypocritical comfort. And… you’re getting quite good at it. Old Pang, this can’t be you. Where’s that Pang Lie who fought against tens of thousands of men on the battlefield?” Jun Zhan Tian frowned and said.
Old Pang smiled bitterly. [I didn’t want to say those words. But, what else could I have said? Was I supposed to say that every grandson brings food fortune with him… but you can’t count on your grandson? Should I have said that your grandson is a smear on a wall who can’t be developed in any manner? Or that your grandson won’t stop before he ruins himself completely; irrespective of your efforts and worries… Was I supposed to tell you that? It would’ve been better if I had asked you to behead me.]
Suddenly, Old Pang recalled something. He said, ”The Young Master can be saved in one way. Then, the Senior Master won’t have to worry about him.”
”What way? Come on… tell me quickly!” Jun Zhan Tian was surprised. He was only trying to vent out his anger. He hadn’t expected that Old Pang would really have a way to protect Jun Mo Xie.
Old Pang said in a hesitant manner, ”This way is quite difficult to implement. I think that we should buy a young Xuan Beast of the eighth level or above… Then, we should train it…”
”Stop this nonsense! Are you sleep-talking, Old Tang? Do you really think that this way is possible?” Jun Zhan Tian interrupted Old Pang and shouted.
Old Pang pondered for a while. He then said, ”Impossible!”
Jun Zhan Tian sighed and said, ”Then, why are you talking about it?”
Xuan Beasts were a special kind of a life force in the Xuan Xuan continent. A high level Xuan Beast possessed great strength. It was believed that an eighth level Xuan Beast could fight fairly with a Sky Xuan Expert. Moreover, a ninth level Xuan Beast was as powerful as a Spirit Xuan Expert.
These Xuan Beasts had their own hierarchy… just like humans. In fact, their ranks were even more rigid than humans. A specially-skilled human could challenge and defeat an opponent whose Xuan Qi cultivation was higher than his own. However, this wasn’t the case with Xuan Beasts.
Xuan Beasts of the fourth level and below could easily be compared with wild animals. In fact, their destructive powers were only marginally more than that of normal animals. The Xuan Beasts started to possess some special kinds of skills only from the fifth level and above. However, the Xuan Beasts of sixth and seventh level weren’t that useful; especially when they were young. In addition, a Xuan Beast couldn’t be tamed once it reached adulthood. A few Xuan Beasts took decades to reach adulthood; while a few took as long as hundred years! What was the point of waiting for a cub to mature for such a long period of time? Moreover, a sixth level Xuan Beast was as powerful as a Silver level Xuan Qi Expert. Therefore, this kind of a Xuan Beast was easier to find, and its price wasn’t too high.
However, the Xuan Beast of the seventh level onwards possessed the innate quality to breakthrough. These Xuan Beasts were believed to give a competition to humans in terms of their wisdom. They also possessed an additional ability which made the development process of their cubs extremely difficult.
