The next day, Gao Peng followed Zhou Tianmin to the capital's Purple Sea District .

There was a purple lake that as big as the sea located there . That was where the name came from .

The Monster Trainer League's Huaxia Region's headquarters was located in the Purple Sea District .

They entered the Monster Trainer League building using a private entrance . This entrance was usually not accessible to most people; only certain important people were able to use it .

"Regarding the issue with you being a referee, both Old Ye and I approve, but Old Ping Jiang from j.a.pan doesn't agree . " Zhou Tianmin shock his head as he spoke .

Old Ping Jiang?

Gao Peng tried to match that name with people that he knew . In the end, he could only think of Ping Jiang Men, one of the 12 elders of the Monster Trainer League .

"You're simply too young . Actually, you aren't so different from the contestants in age . " Zhou Tianmin laughed .

Gao Peng thought to himself, Of course, there isn't a big difference, I was a contestant who withdrew .

"That's why Old Ping Jiang doesn't think you're suitable for the role . He wants someone who's more steady and calm as a referee . "

Gao Peng stayed silent, not knowing how to respond . In such cases, whatever he said would seem inappropriate .

"However, I think that giving that role to a young person would be motivating for those young contestants . Don't you think so?" Zhou Tianmin stopped walking . There was a very s.p.a.cious training room in front of them .

The training room was huge, about 30 feet tall . It was almost like a stadium . It was divided into many different sections, with quite a few people training in some of the sections .

Of course, most of them were for familiars to train in . There were also sections that were only for humans, but they were the minority .

"You can rest a.s.sured, my boy . It's just to shut them up . " Zhou Tianmin laughed lightly . "This is Huaxia, after all . What we say goes . They can't really interfere . "

"Elder . "

"Elder Zhou . "

A few people who knew Zhou Tianmin came to greet him .

Their eyes were filled with awe and respect . It seemed like Zhou Tianmin was a very prominent member of the Monster Trainer League .

Zhou Tianmin waved his hands at them . "You guys can just ignore me . I came here with this young man to conduct a few experiments . Just continue with whatever you were doing . "

Zhou Tianmin's word spread and people stopped coming over . They gathered into small groups and glanced over in their direction .

A few attractive women wearing sporty tank tops came over . They used towels draped over their shoulders to wipe the sweat off their bodies .

"Grandfather, what brings you here?" asked one of the women as she walked over . She was very tall, wore her hair in a ponytail, and was in a gray tank top and black shorts . Her legs were long and pale .

She curiously looked over at Gao Peng and saw Gao Peng glancing back at her .

Zhou Tianmin laughed, then introduced her to Gao Peng . "This is my granddaughter, Zhou Mengmeng . She's in her third year at the Imperial University two years ahead of you in school . "

He then turned to Zhou Mengmeng and introduced Gao Peng to her . "You need to call him your little brother . He's Grandpa Ji's grandson . "

"Grandpa Ji?" Zhou Mengmeng's face was blank for a while as she thought . The only Grandpa Ji that her grandfather would speak of so seriously was the Grandpa Ji in Yuzhou .

She only knew that Grandpa Ji and her grandfather were old acquaintances . They would also sometimes call each other on the phone . However, she wasn't aware of the details of their relations.h.i.+p .

"My name is Zhou Mengmeng," Zhou Mengmeng greeted Gao Peng . Her eyes turned the shape of crescent moons as she smiled .

"h.e.l.lo, I'm Gao Peng . " Gao Peng nodded in response .

Zhou Tianmin was happy that Gao Peng could meet his granddaughter . "Don't look down on your little brother even though he's two years behind you—the reason he came to the capital was to take part in the World Youth Trainer Champions.h.i.+ps . "

Zhou Mengmeng nodded, not exactly shocked . With Grandpa Ji's level of wealth, joining the World Youth Trainer Champions.h.i.+ps wasn't a big deal .

The world was very realistic . If one had power and wealth, one would be able to achieve more than others .

The other girls that were with Zhou Mengmeng couldn't help but glance at Gao Peng . They were also from influential families, but they were nowhere near comparable to Zhou Mengmeng's status .

Whether it was with his family background or his talent, Gao Peng was able to gain people's attention . It didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes . The only downside was that he was two years younger than them .

"Good luck . Get a good rank in the compet.i.tion," Zhou Mengmeng encouraged Gao Peng .

"He's not a contestant . He came here as a referee," Zhou Tianmin said .

" . . . " Everyone became silent .

Zhou Mengmeng's eyes suddenly widened . A few of her companions held their breath and looked at Gao Peng in disbelief, as if they were listening to a mythical story .

Zhou Mengmeng wasn't willing to believe what she had just heard . Gao Peng should be in his first year of university, so he's probably 20 years old at most . That means that he wasn't part of the first generation of monster trainers .

However, her grandfather wasn't someone who liked to make jokes . His face was also very calm when he had spoken . He had shown no indication that he was joking .

That means that… what grandfather said is true?!

But… but… He's too young .

"I was only able to become a referee thanks to Grandpa Zhou's help . " Gao Peng bowed towards Zhou Tianmin to show his grat.i.tude .

This meant he was admitting it to be true .

Gao Peng thought for a while and said, "Testing Dumby's strength would be enough, as long as Dumby showcases his skills well . Da Zi and the others aren't at high enough levels . They won't able to shock and awe the students . "

However, Da Zi, Flamy and the others were at very high grades . The lowest was an Epic grade . There were even Legendary grades among them . If it had been just one or two familiars that were of that grade level, people would still attribute it to luck .

If three or four of them were in high grades, people would say that it was due to his grandfather's immense riches .

But five or six? Could they still say it was due to luck or money alone?

When something reached a certain level, it was obviously not just a matter of luck .

Besides, he'd had Da Zi and Stripey for a long time . This was all information that was readily available .

They hadn't been carefully selected by his grandfather before being given to him . They were familiars that had belonged to him ever since he was young .

Zhou Tianmin thought for a while and decided to observe Dumby's test before speaking .

The first task was to test Dumby's level .

There were staff members who were responsible for video recording . A few special pieces of equipment for the test were brought over .

"There's no need for so much trouble . " Gao Peng shook his head . He then said softly, "Dumby . "

Dumby heard his master calling and turned over to look at him . The Flame of the Undead in its empty eye sockets was burning . Dumby gave a slight nod, and a white aura suddenly appeared beneath its legs .

The aura wasn't big . It was only about ten feet wide, and Dumby's feet were at the center of it .

The aura looked like it had been formed by piecing pieces of bones together . There were some blood-red silk-like things in it that would appear on and off .

A Lord-tier aura could be stored inside one's body . This was a way Lord-tier monsters, or familiars, showed their powers . At the same time, the aura of Lord-tier familiars would also intimidate lower tier monsters .

It was similar to the aura of intimidation that had been exhibited by dragons in western folklore .

The Lord-tier aura was very calm . However, the people watching felt uneasy .

Zhou Mengmeng felt even more shocked .

She was 21 years old and had been training familiars for three years . However, her highest level familiar was only a high-level Commander-tier monster .

Gao Peng was younger than her by two years, but he had already produced a Lord-tier familiar . How the heck had he trained it? Zhou Mengmeng couldn't figure it out, and this greatly affected her own self-confidence .

It wasn't just Zhou Mengmeng who was affected . What was happening there had attracted the attention of everyone in the training room .

"That… that is a Lord-tier familiar," a person cried out in surprise .

A Lord-tier familiar was still among the most powerful familiars, no matter the place .

In the middle of the training room was Dumby . He wore a black robe that only exposed a small part of his body . There was no trace of dark bones beneath the black robe that was visible .

Only the white-colored Flame of the Undead and the equally white Lord-tier aura were visible .

Zhou Tianmin was stunned for a while, then a smile formed on his face . "Lord-tier . You, little punk, hid this quite well . Hahaha . I want to see the faces of the people who opposed making you a referee . "

The next day, Gao Peng followed Zhou Tianmin to the capitals Purple Sea District . There was a purple lake that as big as the sea located there . That was where the name came from .
