“That's right, Fang Yuan, let me ask you another question. What attributes do pet beasts have?”

Fang Yuan shook his head. If not for the old man saying that this was related to his future growth, he would have left immediately.

“Gra.s.s, wind, water, fire, earth, gold, light, darkness, void, superpower…”

Fang Yuan counted all the pet beasts he had encountered, and this seemed to be it.

The old man smiled and said, “You have provided a very standard textbook answer, but your understanding of pet beasts and trainers is not enough. It doesn't matter, as you already have the qualifications to challenge Heavenly Secret Pavilion. If you are ready to start, just let me know.”

“How many levels are there in Heavenly Secret Pavilion?” Fang Yuan asked.

“As no one has challenged the highest level, so I'm not sure.”

Hearing this, Fang Yuan could not help but frown.

“Hehe, young man, if you don't dare to barge in, you can go back now.”

As the old man spoke, the door of Heavenly Secret Pavilion was opened, but there was nothing outside the door.

“Stop joking, start the challenge.” Fang Yuan gave an affirmative answer.

“Heh, not bad,” the old man said. “If you had gone out just now, you would have been expelled from Heavenly Secret Pavilion and would never be allowed to enter again. Heavenly Secret Pavilion does not welcome cowards.”

The old man then began to chant an incantation which he did not understand. The environment on this level was then undergoing a drastic change.

The imprint on Fang Yuan's hand also began to glow. The trainer skill was actually activated on its own.

“This!” Fang Yuan looked at the glow on his body and revealed an incredulous expression. “How did you manage to awaken my imprint?”

“The challenge of Heavenly Secret Pavilion has already begun. Next, you will face a battle that will not rest until one of you dies. It is too late for you to regret now, so… get ready for the battle.”

The old man disappeared in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath. The trial of Heavenly Secret Pavilion was finally about to begin.

[ The first trial, challenge 1,000 black iron low-grade trainers at the same time. ]

The old man had already disappeared. His words sounded like they were coming from a broadcast.

Fang Yuan's face was a little solemn.

Although it was black iron-grade trainer, it was not easy to challenge 1,000 people at the same time.

And this was only the first trial. Was he was going to challenge 1,000 star brilliance peak trainers later?

Stop joking around.

“Fang Yuan, I don't care what reason you chose to enter heavenly Secret Pavilion. But since you have chosen to challenge me, you can only walk the path to the end. I hope that you can last a longer.”

Fang Yuan took a deep breath.

“Since I have promised the princ.i.p.al and Huang Ying, I will naturally keep my promise. This is my, Fang Yuan's, principle of life.”

“Come out! Alloy Gryphon Legion!”

Sima Kaile had finished refining all the advanced pills and handed them over to Fang Yuan. If they were going to have a group battle, the Gryphon Legion was undoubtedly the best choice!

1,000 black iron-grade trainers appeared in the arena with their pet beats. They were all expressionless like machines.

According to the old man, after they lost in Heavenly Secret Pavilion, they would forever become the puppets of the pavilion.

Fang Yuan thought that if he did not choose 100 times increase for the time, he would have failed the challenge and been kicked out of Heavenly Secret Pavilion very soon.

It was because he had to use the least amount of strength to defeat the enemy for every challenge. Otherwise, when he reached the next level, he would be defeated because of the pet's injury and the loss of his mental power.

Fang Yuan had two special abilities, time and mental strength recovery. This was the greatest capital that Fang Yuan had in his mind to challenge Heavenly Secret Pavilion in one go.

“At the very least, I have to fight until the peak of star brilliance.”

The 1,000 trainers summoned their respective pet beasts — wild wolves, sandworms, engineered bees… There were all kinds of strange creatures. As expected, there were 1,000 trainers, and the pet beasts they used were close to 1,000 kinds.

Fang Yuan waved his hand and ordered the Gryphon Legion, “Use Whirlwind and Feather Blades to end the battle quickly!”

Fang Yuan turned around to avoid being blinded by the Whirlwind.

A minotaur rushed over with a hammer in its hand. Just as it was about to hit Fang Yuan, who had his back facing him, a golden alloy gryphon pounced on it and killed it with Feather Blade.

Soon, it turned into a black fragment and disappeared into the void.

It's trainer also turned into a black fragment at the same time. As he gradually disappeared, he was actually wearing a smile on his face.

At this moment, outside Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the old man looked at the crystal ball in his hand and said with a faint smile, “I didn't expect Fang Yuan to be so powerful. It has somewhat surpa.s.sed my imagination of young people.”

In the first match, Fang Yuan completed the trial in an instant.

“Congratulations on completing the trial on the first floor of Heavenly Secret Pavilion.”

With this voice, the stairs on the second floor of the pavilion appeared on the wall.

“Fang Yuan,” the old man of Heavenly Secret Pavilion appeared once again, and said to him. “You have two choices now. One is to take the reward on the first floor, and the second is not to take the reward on the first floor. This way, after you challenge on the second floor, you can receive a richer reward, and so on.”

Just as the Elder of Heavenly Secret Pavilion said this, three treasure chests appeared on the stage.

“The winner, please choose from the treasure chests at random. You can also retain the qualification to continue the challenge.”

“What's in these treasure chests?” Fang Yuan asked.

“No comment.” The Elder of the pavilion smiled and then disappeared from Fang Yuan's sight again.

“What a weirdo.” Fang Yuan muttered to himself. He walked down the arena and the treasure chests disappeared. He chose to continue challenging the higher levels.

Based on his gaming experience in his previous life, the higher he went, the more bountiful the rewards would be. With Fang Yuan's 100 times increase system, it should not be a problem for him to surpa.s.s the peak in one go!

When he reached the second floor, the layout was the same as the first floor.

However, this time, two trainers appeared on the stage at the same time. They were still at the black-iron grade, but their skin was one green and one purple. In other words, they were demons.

Needless to say, Fang Yuan walked onto the stage and summoned the platinum-pinnacle Ah Li.

The other party activated their own trainer skill. Although the ones they summoned were still the black-iron grade Lightning Piglet and Wind Speed Rabbit, it was clear that their strength was stronger than the 1,000 trainers just now.

Their biggest advantage was that they were good at cooperation.

After the two pet beasts appeared, the Lightning Pig first launched a lightning attack, while the Wind Speed Rabbit disappeared into the air.

They attacked Ah Li from different directions at the same time, a bolt of lightning and a wind blade, one in the front and one at the back, making pincer attack towards Ah Li.

This was only the black iron's second compet.i.tion.

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart.

However, Ah Li had a high resistance to elemental attacks, so it did not need to waste any physical strength. It did not even need to use its skills to easily pounce on the two harmless little monsters on the ground.

After dealing with the two black iron high-grade pet beasts, the demon trainer also turned into pieces and disappeared into the air like the trainers just now.
