The referee looked at the two individuals on the stage and announced, “The first stage, from the Sima Family”

The Sang family members called back their own spirit beast, nodded towards Sima You Qing and turned to leave the stage

They won just like that?

“It’s a six ranked beast, I think I’ve never seen such a high ranking Spirit Beast in my life!”

“So, such a high ranking Spirit Beast is subject to this young girl… What a shocking thing!”

“Indeed, that is the might of a powerful household… they can easily just bring out so many high ranking Spirit Beasts!”

“And there were even two of them!”

“This competition is so difficult! We, ourselves have yet to have one Spirit Beast, but that family has two!”

“I’m really looking forward to the Sima Family’s representatives now.”

Because the Sang family representatives did not acknowledge their loss and were reprimanded by their elder. Since their calibre was shown here, and their opponents’ might had far outweighed theirs, there was no way that they could compete well against the rest.

The Li Family members and the Nalan Family members, however, were all unhappy, even worse than if someone had owed them eight hundred thousand gold coins.

“How is it that the Sima Family would have such Spirit Beasts?” The Nalan family head turned angrily to another elder beside him. “Didn’t we ask to always keep tabs on the Sima Family’s movements? How is it that we were unaware that they had so many Divine Beasts?”

Sima You Le had a divine beast, Sima You Qing had two divine beasts. If they took into consideration all the other younger generations of the Sima family, they couldn’t even count the total numbers of them all.

The most infuriating thing was that Sima You Qing had a Spirit Paragon ranked spirit beast. If the other members of the family also had such beasts, then this competition would not make any sense, since they would win it all!

“Please do not be angry, Sir.. We did send people to keep tabs on the Sima Family, but we had not received any news about them hiring a Beast Tamer Master for their family. In these two years, we also had not seen them send their spirit beasts for training.” One family elder explained.

“Bullshit!” Nalan family’s head exploded in anger. “If they hadn’t done so, then where could all these beasts have come from? Sima Ke had previously told us about the power and rankings of their spirit beasts, and he said that they could not have these spirit beasts!”

“I remember that it was two years ago that Sima Ke told us… Are you saying that in these two years, the youngsters had raised these spirit beasts?” The elder guessed.

“It can’t be! I swear by my life, that the Sima Family had no interactions with any Beast Tamer Masters!” The interrogated elder exclaimed.

“How can that be? Are you saying that these spirit beasts simply submitted themselves to that family?” Some of the Elders did not believe any of it. As they were discussing, they were taken aback by the happenings down below. “Sima You Yang also has two spirit beasts! And he has a sixth grade spirit beast!”

“How.. How can this be?” The Nalan family head felt that this entire situation was ridiculous. How could the youngsters of the Sima family have so many spirit beasts?

The Elder who was getting interrogated was also getting confused. “How could this be so? I have never seen these spirit beasts before! All the news that we had heard about the Sima family had never mentioned any news about the spirit beasts!”

The Nalan Family head wanted to give that elder a huge beating. Where could these beasts have come from if no one had seen them before? Who recruited them?

“Master, Fourth Elder’s investigative abilities have always been monitored by our family, I think if he’s saying that the Sima Family has never interacted with any Spirit Beast Tamer before, then it should be true.” Nalan Lan said from a side.

Her identity today was different from the past, and so she was able to join the Nalan family in watching the matches.

From the commencement of the competition she had returned to this place, but she had always kept quiet until now, which caught everyone’s attention

Although the Nalan family head was extremely enraged, he could not take his anger out on her because of her new status. He said, “but what we heard about the Sima Family is far too different from what we heard! Without the help of a Spirit Beast Tamer, it is impossible to form contracts with Spirit beasts! They can’t have just appeared out of thin air!”

“I think I know what has been going on.” Nalan Lan said.

“You know?” The Elders could not believe a word of it. “You have not been home for years, and then you have been staying in all this time, how could you know what is going on on the outside world?”

“You’re right.” Nalan Lan admitted. “I don’t know what is going on, but I am familiar with a person.”

“Who?”

“Sima You Yue.” With that, she looked over at Sima You Yue, who was standing on the stage.

“Him?” The Nalan family members all knew who Sima You Yue was, but did not believe it. “Are you saying that he has something to do with these Spirit Beasts?

“You can’t be saying that he’s the one who tamed all these beasts, right?”

The Family Head of the opposing family has their suspicions, and Nalan Lan slowed down, because she herself had some doubts over the entire matter.

The Nalan Family Elder called for calm. “Explain.” He said.

“Yes, Master.” Nalan Lan nodded, saying. “You all know, that Sima You Yue and I both came from the Dong Chen Kingdom, so I do know some things about him. You do know that now he is now at least a fourth grade Alchemist, right?”

“I think everyone in the Capital knows that by now.” Someone said.

“Right. From the moment he arrived, the news that he had defeated Li Mu in an alchemy battle has spread throughout the entire Capital. And every one knows how good his skills at alchemy are. But there is something that you do not yet know.” Nalan Lan said, as she looked at the crowd.

“What?”

“Six years ago, Sima You Yue was a useless bum who could not do anything. He had no powers at all, let alone the ability to become an Alchemist!”

Nalan Lan spoke softly, but the whole Nalan family was greatly taken aback by what she had said.

“Are you saying that he only started on alchemy six years ago?”

Nalan Lan nodded her head and said, “That’s right. The fact that he was useless was also common knowledge throughout the Dong Chen Kingdom. Also, five years ago by the Dong Chen Kingdom’s King’s grand banquet, he was already a Grade Two Alchemist. That means that within two years, he had progressed from being clueless about alchemy to becoming a Grade Two Alchemist! So, it is very likely that he is more than a Fourth Grade Alchemist by now.”

“How can that be!” The Nalan Family head elders could not believe what she had said. How could one person be this powerful?

The Nalan Family head looked at Nalan Lan, and knew that she was not lying. “Even so, what does this have to do with the Sima Family’s spirit beasts?”

“Five years ago, he would be at the Dong Chen Kingdom’s Imperial Capital training beasts. And at that time he was already able to tame spirit beasts.” Nalan Lan said. “With his powers, I think, being able to tame spirit beasts from five years ago would not be beneath him.”

“You’re saying that he’s also a Beast Tamer Master?” The Nalan Family elders were so agitated that they had nothing left to say. There was no way that someone like him could be human!

Why wasn’t a genius like this born into their family instead?

“That’s not all. I have personally seen his spirit beasts. After he has established contracts with them, whether they are beast or human, they will level up in their rankings and powers.” Nalan Lan reported.

As the Nalan Family heard everything that was said, their jaws dropped to the ground.
