Chapter 553: Chapter 353: Target: Southern Continent Group

A massive screen displayed the Tri-Race Alliance’s developments across various fields over the past two years, laid out like a menu.

The most significant of these was the Beast Taming Domain. As leaders, Dean Wu and the others hadn’t forgotten that in this world, Beast Masters were the most powerful force.

According to the chart, the academy now had 12 Tier Four Beastmasters, 132 Tier Three Beastmasters, and several hundred Tier Two Beastmasters.

The most powerful Soul Beast among them had reached Monarch Tier Two—Luo Chen’s Mountain Tyrant Dragon.

More than ten Soul Beasts had broken through to the Monarch Level.

It was worth noting that within the human-led academy, humans cultivated Spiritual Power much faster than their Soul Beasts grew. This was perhaps thanks to the Four Symbols Meditation Technique, humanity’s unique Talent, and the massive resources provided by Bobo Man.

As for the Beast Masters of the Dragon Blood and Hexagon races, their Spiritual Power grew far slower than that of the humans. However, when it came to raising Soul Beasts, the gap between the three races wasn’t very large.

The Hexagon Race had also grown rapidly from a small group of less than one hundred to a clan of nearly 1,000, establishing a solid foundation for themselves.

Their Clan Leader was now Ah Yu.

Han Ning’s friend, the Young Clan Leader of the Dragon Blood Race—Qing Fan—had switched to practicing Spiritual Meditation. As a result, his own Spiritual Power had yet to break through to Tier Three. In contrast, two of his Contracted Soul Beasts had already broken through to the Monarch level.

Two years was a strange length of time—not too short, but not too long either. For Soul Beast cultivation, slower-growing ones might only advance a single Small Tier. However, those with extraordinary Talent and abundant resources could advance two or three tiers, or even an entire major rank.

As someone who came from the academy, Han Ning was genuinely happy to see everyone’s progress, but... ’This speed isn’t enough,’ he thought. ’On the Insect Continent, this might be enough to dominate a region, but now we’re facing a potential enemy—the Alatake Clan. We have to work even harder.’

Aside from the significant progress in strength, the advances in Soul Beast breeding made Han Ning’s eyes light up.

"Regarding Soul Beast breeding... Thanks to His Highness Prince Bobo Man, he gifted us a small Space Fragment modified by the Wangchao Family. It contains a space about half the size of Demon City and can be sustained for 300 years."

The Deep Sea Race’s Sea God Palace Secret Realm, for example, is also a large Space Fragment.

A Space Fragment that can support life, allow for reproduction, and even has changing seasons is extremely precious.

Bobo Man had truly spared no expense to support the Tri-Race Alliance’s development.

"Inside the Space Fragment, we built a small Beast Breeding Secret Realm and a Spirit Material Cultivation Field. By combining the Wangchao Family’s breeding techniques with human technology, we created an area that can support Soul Beasts of various Attributes and even made it possible to hatch Pure Elemental Soul Beasts. Currently, the highest-Talent Soul Beast the Secret Realm can produce is the Tidal Sea Cow, which has a B Talent. The initial breeding stock was also a gift from His Highness Prince Bobo Man."

"We are also breeding populations of four common types of Pure Elemental Soul Beasts—Water, Fire, Earth, and Wood—within the Secret Realm. For now, most of them have been relocated from the outside. It will still take some time before we can truly hatch new Elemental Soul Beasts within the Secret Realm itself."

"We call this Secret Realm—Five Elements."

As he spoke, Dean Wu clapped his hands.

Immediately, a few hulking Fog Apes walked in from outside, carrying a black rift set within a pale silver, mirror-like frame.

Dean Wu pointed at the rift and smiled. "Want to go in and take a look?"

Han Ning stood up and nodded. "Alright."

A flash of light pulsed.

In the blink of an eye, Han Ning found himself looking at all four seasons.

To the north, vast snows blanketed a world frozen for a thousand miles.

To the south, a blazing sun hung high in the sky, making the air shimmer with heat.

To the East, spring was in full bloom, with green trees sprouting new buds.

To the west, a desolate autumn wind rustled through withered, yellowing grass and trees.

Where the seasons intersected, a series of other unique phenomena appeared: lightning flashed and thunder roared, violent storms raged, sand and rock were swept into the air, and lava churned.

However, each landscape was confined to a specific area, with clearly defined boundaries that did not encroach upon one another.

"Interesting." Han Ning surveyed his surroundings with great interest.

"This artificial Secret Realm was specifically created to nurture Soul Beasts and Spiritual Materials. It’s the result of joint research by over 14,000 Beast Masters from hundreds of fields, including Beast Taming, Spiritual Energy, and Space. The contributors include over two-thirds of the Tri-Race Alliance and numerous Deep Sea People."

"On the human side, Academician Zhou Mingkai served as the chief designer. The Dragon Blood Race was represented by Third Elder Qing Lin, the Hexagon Race by High Priest As Dan, and providing us with all sorts of technical guidance was the chief master of Spiritual Arrays from the Wangchao Bobop Family—the esteemed Bobo Tan."

Dean Wu stood to the side, continuously explaining the various details of the Five Elements Secret Realm to Han Ning.

"Master Bobo Tan was my father’s assistant," Bobo Man explained. "After my father passed away, he became the most skilled master of Spiritual Arrays in the Bobo Family. He is a senior whom I respect immensely."

"He’s usually completely absorbed in his research. Human technological civilization has sparked a great interest in him. If there’s nothing else going on, he generally holes up in his Spiritual Ability Laboratory and doesn’t come out," Bobo Man explained.

"Mm-hmm, I’ll have to make sure to visit Master Bobo Tan when I get the chance," Han Ning said with a nod of understanding.

"Small but perfectly formed. However, I sense that the concentration of Elements in this small Secret Realm isn’t very high. It clearly lacks a spatial connection to a Saint Realm, so it will be very difficult to produce B-Talent Elemental Soul Beasts here."

The assessment came from Irena, who hailed from the Witch Spirit Nobles. Her eyes shimmered with a multicolored light as she surveyed her surroundings.
