A room inside the Beast Taming Arena.
After handling the follow-up matters, Xiao Tang pushed open the door and entered, bowing slightly to Rune, who was sitting on the balcony looking down at the arena.
"Old Lu, everything has been taken care of."
Upon hearing the sound, Rune turned his head away from the arena.
"What is the situation with the people inside the arena?"
"Most of them are still asleep and haven't woken up yet. The few who woke up early have already been given excuses by me. Tonight's events won't arouse suspicion from others," Xiao Tang said solemnly.
Upon hearing this...
Rune nodded in satisfaction.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again.
"How did you feel mentally after entering the Beast Taming Arena?"
Xiao Tang frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's strange, really. That person's dream-eating beast was quite powerful, even capable of dragging everyone in the arena into a dream, but I didn't feel any discomfort after entering here."
Upon hearing this, Rune narrowed his eyes, his expression inscrutable.
"Don't mention this to anyone tonight. If the arena tries to find out, just make up some excuse."
Xiao Tang nodded upon hearing this.
"I know what to do."
"Alright," Rune waved his hand, "Let's leave it at that. You should find a room and rest. You have to watch the exam tomorrow!"
"Then I'll head back now."
After Xiao Tang left, Rune turned his head again and looked down at the arena.
Although Xiao Tang didn't sense anything unusual with his strength, Lu En was a god-level beast tamer with extremely keen perception of the surrounding atmosphere. As soon as he stepped into the arena, he sensed the presence of other beast tamers nearby.
However, since he couldn't sense any killing intent from the other party, and they were even helping them resist the mental attacks of the Dream Eater, he didn't pay any attention to it.
But after dealing with the men in black, he sensed something was wrong.
How could a beast tamer inexplicably help them resist the mental attacks of the dream-eating beast?
The only plausible explanation is that the beast also belonged to Lu Yuan.
In other words...
Lu Yuan contracted two beasts at the same time.
Thinking of this, he recalled the prophecy left behind by Bai Ze.
"The time is indeed almost up..."
...
Lu Yuan was unaware that Lu En had already guessed that he had contracted two beasts at the same time.
Or rather...
He didn't seem to care much about it.
Although he could inexplicably sense that Rune was hiding a secret every time he faced Rune, he was certain that Rune had no ill intentions towards him and even carried some inexplicable expectations.
He had thought about what was going on, but he could never figure it out, so he eventually gave up on it.
at the same time.
Lu Yuan returned to the room where he had been resting.
Cui Peng had already been settled in bed and was fast asleep, showing no signs of the battle that had affected him.
See here.
Lu Yuan was not surprised.
With Xiao Tang handling this matter, even if others saw something, they have certainly been silenced.
If Xiao Tang can't even handle this small matter, then he's not qualified to be Lu En's confidant.
Compared to Cui Peng and others, Lu Yuan is most worried about Mays right now.
He hadn't seen Mace since the man in black appeared, and had no idea what his current situation was.
Just then.
There was a sudden knock on the glass door to the balcony.
Lu Yuan immediately got up and went outside to the open balcony.
"Your subordinate has failed in his duty; please punish me, Your Highness!"
Mays knelt on one knee in front of Lu Yuan, her head bowed deeply, her tone filled with self-blame and regret.
Instead of punishing Mays directly, Lu Yuan asked, "Where did you run off to just now?"
"I was originally guarding near the room, but then I was hit by the Dream Eater's skill and dragged into a dream from which I could not escape until the Dream Eater's skill just expired and I was able to wake up."
Mays kept her head down, not daring to look up.
As a guard who came to protect Lu Yuan, he was dragged into a dream and couldn't wake up when the enemy attacked. This was the biggest dereliction of duty!
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was not injured, otherwise he would have had to atone with his death!
"Get up."
But to his surprise, Lu Yuan did not blame him.
"The other party is a beast tamer of the fifth level or above of the Illusion God rank. It is understandable that you cannot break free from the dream woven by the Dream Eater at your current level. However, this is a one-time exception. Be more vigilant in the future."
Mayston nodded gratefully.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
"Alright." Lu Yuan waved his hand casually. "There's still some time before tomorrow's exam. Keep a close eye on your surroundings; they might send more people over."
"yes!"
After responding, Mays disappeared from the spot.
Lu Yuan also turned around and went back into his room. After a quick wash, he lay down on the bed to rest.
So much had happened today that he was exhausted and fell asleep shortly after lying down on the bed.
The next day.
Lu Yuan was awakened by the knocking on the door.
"Cui Peng, Lu Yuan, it's time to get up!"
Qiao Xingxing's voice came from outside the door. Lu Yuan picked up his phone and checked the time. He found that it was already eight o'clock in the morning, while Cui Peng on the bed next to him was still fast asleep and even snoring.
After waking Cui Peng up, Lu Yuan got out of bed first and opened the door.
"Good morning!" Qiao Xingxing greeted Lu Yuan with a bright smile. "How did you sleep yesterday?"
"I'm alright," Lu Yuan replied casually, then asked tentatively, "How's Senior Qiao? Are you sleeping well?"
Qiao Xingxing didn't notice the probing in Lu Yuan's words and nodded with a smile.
"The medicinal bath at this arena is really effective! After taking a bath last night, I fell asleep shortly after lying in bed and didn't wake up until this morning! When I finish the exam and am ready to go back, I'll try to buy some of these potions."
"..."
Lu Yuan didn't tell her that the reason she was able to sleep so peacefully was not because of the medicinal bath, but because of the Dream Eater's skill effect.
Anyway.
As long as Qiao Xingxing doesn't realize what happened last night, that's fine.
If she didn't notice, then the other students probably didn't notice either.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt a little relieved.
"It's getting late, let's all go have breakfast together and then prepare for the exam!"
"Okay, okay!"
