The most spacious area in Cloud Summit Villa was Le Da Yuan's magic crystal weapon testing ground.
Upon hearing the news, the core members of Cloud Summit all arrived. Le Da Yuan and Liu Zhenghong also brought a few assistants, including the treant and the Yama Tree, which had now shrunk to only two meters tall.
Of course, feeling Ye Zhongming's return, Yangos flew back from the nearby mountains, ending a brief but delightful time of bullying others. At this moment, the mutated male and female beasts in the mountains were in tears, grateful for the return.
"Hey, Little Tiger, you're not blind anymore! Your eyes look quite beautiful, let Grandpa Dragon have a look!"
As Yangos landed, he arrogantly shouted at the proud Little Tiger.
After some time apart, this guy's strength had increased significantly; his dragon scales were much denser, and he'd even learned a Mandarin with a strange accent.
After speaking, he didn’t need anyone to respond. The dragon eye continued to spin and saw the increasingly intricate Yama Tree, clicking his tongue as he said, "Little Yan, why give up your good body to take on this ugly bipedal form? If you kept your original form, we could have a beautiful love story of plant beasts, lasting till the seas dry up and rocks crumble. In the end, we could have a little dragon, a perfect fusion of fire and wood!"
"Get lost."
Yama Tree responded to Yangos with a single word.
Everyone nearby found it amusing but didn't say anything; after all, both Yangos and Yama Tree were eighth-level beings, the strongest among the eighth-levels. In the entire Cloud Summit, the only ones capable of suppressing them were Ye Zhongming, Liu Zhenghong, and Le Da Yuan. Even those who could engage in equal conversation with them were only Xia Bai, the leader of the red dress guard, and Park Soo-young with her three-trunked elephant. Even Xia Lei, the big sister, could only manage to speak, while for others, these two ignored them entirely.
Yangos might be teasing Little Tiger, but that was because Little Tiger was usually free-spirited and even dared to joke with this Evil Dragon, so they were somewhat familiar. Otherwise, Yangos probably wouldn’t bother with anyone else.
"Let's meet some new friends to avoid any misunderstandings."
Ye Zhongming motioned for Yangos to step aside and signaled to Xia Bai to summon Nine Treasures. When everyone saw yet another eighth-level life form, they began to inquire. Xiao Min, acting as Xia Bai's spokesperson, explained everything to the crowd.
Upon hearing this, everyone was envious and jealous that Xia Bai had yet another eighth-level battle beast with such terrifying abilities!
Yangos observed coldly from the side, silently resolving not to provoke this cold woman in the future. He had always felt she was dangerous, and now that she had a helper of the same level, even if not as strong as himself, their combined strength would certainly surpass his. And this was without counting the red dress guard, which had only a few hundred members but possessed the ability to confront eighth-level beings head-on.
Though Yangos appeared arrogant, he understood the dynamics of advantage and danger better than anyone.
"Sister Hong, Nine Treasures had its abilities sealed by its previous owner. Although its body has undergone some changes after becoming Xia Bai's battle beast, I'm not sure if it has fully regained those abilities. Could you take some time to check it for any remaining issues?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Sister Hong became interested upon hearing this, circling around the giant earthworm and agreeing to take a look.
Another living eighth-level being as material for her! Liu Zhenghong was incredibly pleased. She was even considering whether splitting the earthworm's body in two would produce two independent beings. Would this giant earthworm work similarly? Would that result in one more eighth-level being?
Nine Treasures felt nervous under Liu Zhenghong's gaze, especially surrounded by other eighth-level beings. Its timid nature caused it to curl up tightly and hide behind Xia Bai.
