Yes, it's serious.

The entire Kingdom of Beasts is no longer as wild and chaotic as before, with violent incidents occurring all the time.

The creatures below have become much more restrained, and there are no fatal fights in the streets.

Seeing this scene, Han Xing understood something.

Obviously, it was the incident in which the Big Beast Lord went berserk and killed three mid-level lords in the territory, as well as wiping out three races, that triggered a chain reaction.

Now, no one dares to be as presumptuous as before.

This isn't a bad change, though.

Wild growth can certainly create some pure strong people, but if there are no rules, these strong people will become reckless and think that they have everything if they have power.

Even some extremists will wantonly trample on the lives of the weak and strangle some so-called geniuses.

They can do whatever they want within their territory.

Until one day, after leaving the territory, he suffered a serious setback.

Everyone watched everything in the Kingdom of Beasts in silence without saying anything.

Soon, everyone returned to the Kingdom of Beasts, the royal capital.

"Welcome, Her Majesty the Princess!!"

When the Longyun chariot arrived at the palace gate, the guards immediately saluted respectfully.

Compared with the casual attitude some time ago, he is much more respectful now.

After all, the Great Beast Lord made a public statement that day.

In the entire territory, he, the Great Beast Lord, is the supreme being.

Then his daughter would be second only to him in status.

At this time, anyone who dares to disrespect Long Yu is seeking death!

Long Yu seemed a little uncomfortable with the attitude of these soldiers.

She nodded slightly and then entered the palace.

Still crossing the large grassland, we came to a building made of bones.

Everyone came out from the Longyun Treasure Chariot.

Four people and one wolf, still the same size as when they went out, came back intact.

They entered the building together.

A spacious hall appeared in front of us.

At the end of the sight, a strong figure was leaning on a throne made of animal bones.

The muscles on his body were as hard as rock and bulged exaggeratedly.

The powerful physical strength was so strong that even the air was pressed to tremble slightly.

It was the Great Beast Lord.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

After seeing Han Xing and others, a smile appeared on the corner of this rough man's mouth.

"My dear daughter, you are back!"

The loud voice echoed in the air.

Long Yu nodded slightly, "Greetings, father."

Including Han Xing, Ling Hui and others also bowed slightly, "Greetings to the Great Beast Lord."

The Beast Lord laughed.

Then with a wave of his hand, five huge animal bone chairs appeared.

"Sit down."

Everyone did not hesitate and found a chair to sit on.

Including Little Coal Ball, he also found a chair and lay down on it comfortably.

Without waiting for Han Xing to speak, the Great Beast Lord spoke first.

"During the time you were away, I discovered something."

"It's related to the Shadow Pavilion."

Hearing this, Han Xing and Linghui's expressions changed slightly.

Han Xing asked first: "Are these killers coming to our house again?"

The Beast Lord nodded slightly.

"They asked me to hand over you and Linghui."

"I'll just tell them to get out!"

"These guys wanted to fight me, but I slapped two mid-level lords to death, and they ran away in fear."

Han Xing and Linghui laughed after hearing this.

This certainly sounds like the style of the Beast Lord.

"Thank you very much!" Han Xing thanked again.

But the Beast Lord waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, I'm just fulfilling my promise."

"But... you have to be careful when you participate in the Southern Region Prodigy Challenge."

Han Xing looked at the Beast Lord in confusion.

He said, "These assassins from the Shadow Pavilion know that you will participate in the challenge, and have already announced that they are offering a bounty of 30 million Origin Coins on your head."

"A bounty of 40 million Origin Coins is offered for Linghui's head."

"Whoever can kill you in the challenge will get this reward."

Han Xing was slightly stunned after hearing this.

"Only thirty million?"

"Are these guys from the Shadow Pavilion so stingy?"

The Beast Lord gave him a strange look.

"I thought you would panic after hearing about the bounty, but it turns out you complained that the bounty wasn't big enough."

Han Xing chuckled and shook his head, "There's nothing to panic about."

"It's not like a high-ranking lord like you will appear in the Tianjiao Challenge."

"And if anyone below the high-ranking lord dares to kill me, I will kill him back as well."

There was a hint of confidence in his tone.

It’s not his fault that he is so arrogant, but with Han Xing’s strength, it can indeed be said that he is invincible below the high level!

Of course, the prerequisite is that you don’t encounter those monsters mentioned by the Great Beast Lords.

After all, up to now, his evaluation of Han Xing was only that he could break into the top 1,000 of the Southern Region Prodigy Challenge.

In other words... there are a thousand abnormally strong people ahead of him.

It can also be invincible below the high level.

Even stronger than Korean stars! Especially those who can make it into the top ten!

The Beast Lord heard the confidence in his tone and chuckled, "It's a good thing to be confident."

"But this time it's different."

"The rules of this challenge have changed."

Hearing this, everyone on the field looked puzzled.

"Changed?"

The Beast Lord nodded slightly.

"That's right. Previously, only mid-level lords were allowed to participate, but this time, anyone below the Divine Realm lord can participate."

"In other words, including me, we will also participate in the Southern Region Prodigy Challenge."

At this moment, everyone on the field was shocked!

After all, the gap between a mid-level lord and a high-level lord is too big!

Especially a high-level lord like the Great Beast Lord, who can kill the top 1,000 beings in the Heavenly Pride Battle of all generations with one hand! Now, even a strong man like him has to appear.

This is a considerable pressure for all beings below the high-level lords.

Long Yu asked with a worried look: "Father, if you participate in the competition, then the territory..."

The beast lord chuckled and said, "I have my own arrangements."

"This challenge is different from the previous ones."

“In addition to relaxing the rules, the rewards were also significantly increased.”

"Now, as long as you make it into the top one million, you will be rewarded with the Eternal Land."

"And if you can get into the top ten thousand, you will even be directly rewarded with one kilogram of Eternal Soil."

"As for the top ten, I heard there are holy relics as rewards."

Hearing this, everyone on the field gasped!

The first one million will receive Eternal Soil, and the first ten thousand will even be directly rewarded with one kilogram of Eternal Soil!

In other words, the organizer of this event will easily give out hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Eternal Soil as a reward.

This does not include the massive amount of original currency.

There are even holy objects in the top ten! What are holy objects? Holy objects are unique and rarer than the original artifacts.

Only wonders like the [Statue of Sorrow] can rival it.

This is really a huge investment!

"So... this challenge will definitely be unprecedentedly lively."

"A lord like me will definitely devote all my resources to participate in this challenge."

"The number of participants and the number of strong people will be the most terrifying in history."

Having said that, the Beast Lord looked at Han Xing.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Before, I thought you could make it into the top thousand."

“But now, if you can get into the top 100,000, it’s already very impressive.”

"Don't think I'm exaggerating."

“The entire Southern Region is vast and boundless. Those old monsters that have been dormant for many years and the hidden geniuses will all appear this time.”

"With such a huge base, even I can't guarantee that I can make it into the top 10,000."

Hearing this, Han Xing nodded seriously.

He didn't have any extra thoughts about the words of the Great Beast Lord.

Since there are so many strong people in this challenge, he just needs to do his best and does not need to pursue too much.

The Great Beast Lord continued, "Besides that, I want to remind you that the Shadow Pavilion is an ancient force."

"After so many years of development, there are quite a few high-level lords in their organization."

"If they all come out this time, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for you and Linghui in the challenge."

Han Xing nodded slightly, "I understand. I will handle it carefully."

He wasn't too conceited either.

Although with his current strength, lords who take the first path cannot pose much threat to him.

But every high-level lord has his own unique methods, so it is better to deal with them carefully.

The Beast Lord also seemed to appreciate Han Xing's attitude.

"Good, now that we've discussed the challenge, let's explore something else."

"This time, I asked you to help bring back the Leaf Spine Bug King. Did you bring it back?"

Han Xing nodded, "I brought it back."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

A big net flew towards the beast lord.

Trapped inside is a special creature with more than a dozen segments that resemble a human spine.

It’s the Leaf-Spine Bug King!

The Beast Lord took it casually, glanced at it and nodded.

"Yes...it is indeed the Leaf Spine Bug King."

"With it, I can have one more type of soldier before the challenge begins."

Hearing this, Han Xing asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

"You mean, in the Southern Region Challenge, we can send soldiers to fight and assist in the battle?"

The Beast Lord chuckled and nodded, "Of course, these troops themselves belong to your forces, why can't you use them?"

"Those lords who took the first path have stronger physical strength than us and improve faster than us. We don't have the advantage in single combat."

“So, this is also a relatively reasonable rule.”

Han Xing nodded suddenly.

At the same time, he looked at the dark troops in his territory, and felt even more delighted.

After all, that was a type of soldier that a high-ranking lord possessed! If he could bring in a large number of soldiers before the challenge, his chances of winning would probably increase by a few more levels.

Maybe he can even sprint to a higher ranking! Of course, the prerequisite is that he must have enough origin coins to achieve the premise of explosive troops.

Fortunately, he already had starry sky unicorns in his territory, which provided him with a stable source of income.

I believe that it won’t be long before you can create a lot of income for yourself.

At this time, Han Xing asked: "How long will it take until the Southern Region Challenge starts?"

The Beast Lord replied: "About 30 years."

"However, this place is quite far from the challenge venue. We may need to start the journey 20 years later and bring the entire territory with us, which will take us ten years to get there."

Han Xing nodded suddenly.

By this calculation, he still has about 30 years of development time, and that's three million years in the territory.

There is still plenty of time.

Then, Han Xing looked at the Beast Lord again.

"Then may I ask, when can the transformation ceremony of my partner begin?"

The beast lord glanced at the coal ball and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can start tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll trouble the Great Beast Lord."

Han Xing answered without hesitation.

For him, it would be better to convert the coal briquettes as soon as possible.

In this way, Coal Ball can also break through to the initial lord realm.

The Beast Lord nodded slightly and said, "Just bring this little fellow to me tomorrow."

"good."

Han Xing said: "Since everything is fine here, let's leave first."

After saying that, he prepared to lead Meiqiu, Miaoqing and others to leave here.

At this moment, the Great Beast Lord suddenly asked, "Ask something."

"When you dealt with this B-level catastrophe this time, you didn't encounter anything like the Statue of Sorrow in it, did you?"

Hearing this, everyone on the field paused slightly.

But it only took a moment for them to return to normal.

Han Xing shook his head. "We haven't encountered it before. We don't even know what the statue of sadness looks like."

After hearing this answer, the Great Beast Lord did not investigate further.

Instead, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand."

"You guys go and rest first."

After hearing this, everyone left.

Including Long Yu, they turned around and left the hall without hesitation.

She also knew that the Sorrow Statue was a big deal.

No one told the Beast Lord that they had encountered the statue.

…

After returning to their residence, Han Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Through the conversation just now, he once again obtained a lot of information.

The first is the changes in the Southern Region Prodigy Challenge. The difficulty has increased many times this time, and it has become more difficult to get a ranking.

The other is the Shadow Pavilion.

This force was actually planning to target himself and Linghui in the challenge, and even issued a bounty.

This also made a hint of coldness appear in Han Xing's eyes.

According to his previous character, he would eradicate the enemies completely within the shortest possible time as regards those forces that were eyeing him every day.

But now, his strength is not enough.

With the help of the [Statue of Sorrow], he was able to deal with a high-level lord.

If there were a few more around, he would be helpless.

Thinking of this, Han Xing took a deep breath and then said.

"I still have to improve my strength. It would be best if I could break through to the intermediate lord level as soon as possible."

"Once I break through to the intermediate level, not only will my strength increase dramatically, but my various skills will also be able to be improved again."
