Chapter 739: Chapter 733: Spirit Stone Monkey

“`

“What do I need to pay?”

David Jones looked at the Nine-Purity Spring Water and the White Tiger’s golden crystal without reaching out to take them.

“Nothing at all.”

Virgil Harvey’s writing hand paused, “The Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five shares the same spirit, and though the Nine-Purity Spring Water and White Tiger’s golden crystal are precious, to Rosewood College, they are really nothing.”

“These are the Pet Resources that the Rosewood Leader is supposed to have, you should not feel any burden.”

“Thank you,” David Jones said as he picked up the treasures from the table.

He had not expected that the title of the Rosewood Leader would lead Rosewood College to invest so many resources.

“Since I resigned, it has been one hundred and thirty-eight years since a new Leader emerged at Rosewood College. If you want to continue receiving the school’s resource investments, then keep working hard and win everything, this is my advice to you.”

After speaking, Virgil Harvey resumed writing on the documents.

To be honest, at first, Virgil Harvey had an average impression of David Jones, feeling that he was wasting his Beast Control Talent.

But now, it seems that maybe it was his attitude that was too arrogant.

“Winning everything is difficult, in this world, no one is invincible.”

David Jones stopped when he reached the main gate and turned to look at Virgil Harvey, “But among the younger generation, I can’t find any opponents, neither at home nor abroad!”

“Creak.” The main gate slowly closed.

Virgil Harvey remained silent for a moment, and after a long time, he lifted his head to look at the sky outside the window, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“Very well, maintain this momentum!”

…

On his way to Wood Square while riding a Rainbow.

“He speaks so well, saying I don’t have to do anything!” David Jones exhaled a breath of stale air.

If it hadn’t been for a message from Teacher Lilith, he almost believed the silly old man’s nonsense.

“The visitation groups from the Holy Europe Alliance and the Free Federation, what a nuisance!” David Jones thought to himself.

In the current Era of Beast Control, there are six powerful nations reputed as the six poles of the world, beacons to the human race.

These six countries are the Flowery Kingdom that occupies the East Asian continent, the Free Federation that borders the Atlantic Ocean and befriends sea beasts, the Holy Europe Alliance entrenched in Volcano Polo, the Wyvern Empire that rules the deserts, the Solar Kingdom that worships the sun, and the Gravesoul Kingdom that profanes souls.

Beneath the six poles, there are countless countries, big and small.

Some of these countries are powerful enough to barely resist the invasion of Beasts and Mysterious Beasts, but some have completely broken down, choosing to return to a barbaric age, venerating Beasts as totems, even worshiping them as deities.

“You just keep laughing to yourself, if it weren’t for the immense pressure given by the Holy Europe Alliance and the Free Federation, that guy Virgil Harvey wouldn’t be willing to exchange an Eight-turns Golden Elixir spot and Peony Glazewater,” Lilith joked.

“Are the visitation groups from the Holy Europe Alliance and the Free Federation that strong?” David Jones was curious.

“Of course!” Lilith’s expression turned serious, “Any nation that can be considered one of the six poles of the world has its own trump cards!”

“Times have changed, with the development of mechanical technology, contact between nations has become simpler, and the exchange of information between the two countries has become increasingly intimate.

According to the Federation of Trainer Guild’s investigation, the visitation groups that the Holy Europe Alliance and the Free Federation are sending to our country seem to have an agenda, wanting to decide the leadership of the god-slaying project through a small-scale battle.”

“A battle? The god-slaying project!” David Jones’s eyes widened, he instinctively looked around, to make sure no one was eavesdropping on such important news.

“That’s right, to prevent information from leaking, I cannot reveal more details to you for now,” Lilith spoke softly.

“The visitation groups from both countries are expected to arrive in the Flowery Kingdom within two years, and during this time, your task is to become stronger!”

Upon hearing this, David Jones looked even more bewildered.

He questioned, “There are countless strong individuals in the country, how could it be my turn to stand at the forefront!”

“It is true that the conflict between countries is determined by strength!”

Lilith spoke with implied meaning, “But you, who are unrivaled among the new generation, will definitely be able to play a tremendous role in this battle!”

“`

“I understand.” David Jones hung up the phone, tilting his head towards the iconic Sky-reaching Wood.

…

Wood Square.

“Lord David, this way, please!”

Seeing the newcomer, Rick Brown, who was responsible for the evaluation, quickly stood up and respectfully said.

“Thank you for the trouble.”

Walking to the end of the square, David’s gaze swept across the Battle Platform and finally settled on the stone sculpture at the center of the platform.

It depicted a stone monkey with fur like golden threads, ears like dragon horns, eyes bright as stars, clad in golden armor, striding in cloud-stepping boots, and holding a golden staff high.

“Lord David, this is the Spirit Stone Monkey. You just need to stand in front of it for more than a minute to pass the Imperial Palace Pavilion’s assessment,” Rick Brown said cautiously.

David nodded his head and activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye the instant he stepped onto the platform.

“Pet Name”: Spirit Stone Monkey (???)

“Pet Type”: Fire, Gold

“Species Level”: Emperor

“Grade”: Eighth Order Quasi-God (Class IX Immortal?)

“Species Skill”: Stone Golden Eye, Heart Conviction, Judgment as Black and White, Break Heart like God, Legend Realm

“Pet Profile”: Wearing a phoenix wing purple gold crown, clad in chain golden armor, feet shod in cloud-stepping boots, wielding Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron, the statue left behind by ???, harbors incredible secrets within.

David’s mouth slightly opened.

What did he see?

If he wasn’t mistaken, the monkey who wielded the Heavenly River Judgment Pearl Iron in the myths of his past life was none other than The Grand Saint of Even Heaven, Sun Wukong!

Was this all a coincidence, or…

“Lord David, you can walk right up there!” Rick Brown reminded.

“Understood.”

David came back to his senses and slowly ascended the stage under Rick Brown’s curious gaze.

“I wonder how long this new epic talent will be able to hold on?” Rick Brown silently mused.

The Spirit Stone Monkey could discern the good and evil in a person’s heart, and in its presence, no matter how strong the individual, anyone with even a trace of connection to a Mysterious Deity could not escape its judgment.

If a special situation arose, the golden monkey might even manifest temporarily to exterminate Mysterious Beasts.

For this reason, every epic talent who wished to enter the Imperial Palace Pavilion had to be judged by the Spirit Stone Monkey to prevent the human high command from being infiltrated by Mysterious Beasts or by Evil Trainers.

Of course, the Spirit Stone Monkey also served the function of identifying a Trainer’s qualifications.

A Trainer who could withstand more than a minute in front of the Spirit Stone Monkey’s statue generally possessed the potential to break through to become an epic talent.

The longer a Trainer could resist, the more terrifying their potential was!

As the millennium’s first genius from the Flowery Kingdom, David was expected to last at least five minutes!

Thinking this, Rick Brown’s eyes widened, not wanting to miss the historic moment that was about to unfold!

Boom!

David had only taken two steps towards the Spirit Stone Monkey, when a dreadfully terrifying Domination suddenly erupted.

“Wait, this power feels somewhat familiar!”

David was momentarily stunned, touching his right eye with his hand.
