387 Zhao Chen’s Hidden Identity

“You know him?” Lillian asked Zhang Fanglan.

Zhang Fanglan looked at Zhao Chen and said, “The two of us were in danger, and he saved us.”

When Shen Fei heard this, he carefully gauged Zhao Chen. Although this guy looked ordinary, he did save Zhang Fanglan and Li Yuan.

“Thank you for helping us,” Shen Fei said.

Zhao Chen looked at Shen Fei and smiled. “It’s nothing. We were fated to meet,” he said. “Since we’re here, you should leave this spirit beast forest quickly. I need to resolve a crisis here.”

Shen Fei narrowed his eyes at Zhao Chen and said, “Is there any danger in this spirit beast forest? How did you know we were in danger? You seem to be very familiar with the forest.”

Zhao Chen shrugged. “Of course I’m familiar with this forest. I’ve cultivated here before, and I’ve lived in this forest for a long time.”

After he finished speaking, he took out a wooden token and handed it to Shen Fei while saying, “This is my token. You can use this wooden token to replace me.”

Shen Fei casually glanced at the wooden sign and saw the words “Zhao Chen” written on it. This should be genuine. After all, there were special patterns carved on the back of the wooden token.

Shen Fei kept the wooden token in his storage ring and asked, “You’ve been fighting spirit beasts for many years. No wonder you would have your own token. Besides, you’re an Emperor-tier beastmaster.”

Zhao Chen nodded and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said, “You should all leave this place first!”

Hearing this, Zhang Fanglan and Li Yuan looked at each other and then walked to Shen Fei’s side.

“Thank you for your help earlier,” said Zhang Fanglan.

Zhao Chen waved his hand. “You’re welcome.”

Aloy looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of respect in her eyes. She knew that Zhao Chen was hiding something. At the same time, she was very curious. ‘Why is Zhao Chen hiding his true identity?’

She knew Zhao Chen from her previous life. His real name was not Zhao Chen, it was Li Xin. He could also be considered her uncle.

Li Xin and Lear were of the same generation. Li Xin had obtained the Emperor-tier beastmaster title from the Li family’s ancestral teachings.

Back then, Li Xin had been forced into the spirit beast mountain by his ancestor. After he entered the spirit beast mountain, he discovered this spirit beast forest by accident and decided to stay in this area. All these years, he had been taming all kinds of ferocious spirit beasts and exotic beasts in this area to better increase his combat strength.

At that moment, Zhao Chen noticed Aloy. His gaze became gentler as he said, “Little girl, your eyes seem very special!”

Zhang Fanglan and the rest frowned slightly when they heard this.

Aloy was confused by Zhao Chen’s words. She said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“It’s alright,” Zhao Chen said with a smile, “You’ll understand what I’m talking about in the future.”

Hearing this, Aloy did not say anything else.

“Hurry up and leave this place. I shall take my leave first,” Zhao Chen said and left.

After that, the six students left the spirit beast forest.

…

When they returned to the academy, Shen Fei, as the champion of this year’s Beast Tamer Tournament, naturally had to go on stage to receive his award.

“Congratulations, Shen Fei. You’re the strongest student in this year’s Beast Tamer Tournament. I hope you’ll go further on your future cultivation path,” the emcee said loudly.

Subsequently, she took out a storage ring and presented it to Shen Fei.

“Shen Fei, you are the only student in the academy to rank so highly in the spirit beast forest task. This is something you deserve. Drop some of your blood on this ring and see if you can contract the Blazing Lion King,” the emcee said.

After Shen Fei received the new storage ring, he took a step forward and showed everyone as he made a small incision on his finger. Droplets of blood flowed out of his finger almost immediately.

He pressed his blood to the storage ring, and a ball of blue flames drifted out from the ring. Shen Fei did not hesitate to absorb the blue flame into his body. As his forehead was covered in sweat, the blue flame fused with his blood and entered his spiritual core through his meridians.

He immediately sat cross-legged and began to circulate the mystic Qi in his body, nurturing the blue flames to slowly grow inside. Finally, his spiritual core was filled with the blue flames. Soon, the Blazing Lion King revealed its true form.

At this moment, the Blazing Lion King’s fur was burning with raging flames. When its four limbs stepped on the ground, the ground quaked a bit.

When the other participants around him saw this, they could not help but gasp. This Blazing Lion King was really too domineering!

Then, the Blazing Lion King obediently rubbed against Shen Fei’s leg. In the eyes of the other students, this was like a scene from a dream. Many people there had never even seen a Blazing Lion King before. They could only imagine what they looked like.

Shen Fei lowered his head and looked at the Blazing Lion King rubbing against his pants leg. The corner of his mouth twitched. As expected, the Blazing Lion King was successfully contracted.

[Blazing Lion King]

Shen Fei looked through the information of the Blazing Lion King in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face. He did not expect the Blazing Lion King to have reached the low Count rank. Moreover, Shen Fei could feel an extremely dense pressure from the Blazing Lion King.

“Next, Student Shen Fei will give his acceptance speech,” the emcee said. Everyone in the square stopped talking at once and fixed their eyes on Shen Fei.

Shen Fei stood up and cleared his throat. “I have to say that I’m quite lucky to have won first place on my own.”

After a pause, Shen Fei continued, “However, I still need to continue working hard. I want to become a true genius, and not a genius who relies on the protection of one’s family reputation. I want to let the other families know that I am not weak. I want to let the world know that I, Shen Fei, am not trash. Everyone here, remember what I said. One day, I will definitely shine brightly.”

After saying that, he sat down.

...

The emcee smiled and said, “Shen Fei, congratulations again on getting first place. You are the first to be ranked so highly, and so quickly. Therefore, the academy has decided to reward you with thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, a fifth-tier sacred weapon, and five thousand medium-grade spirit stones.”
