âNot bad! As expected of a student of my War School. Your strength is beyond my imagination!â
Principal Jace looked at the tip of Vincentâs flaming sword in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
Vincent, on the other hand, frowned and helplessly withdrew his attack.
Earlier, he did not show mercy and deliberately stopped his attack in front of Principal Jace. He then threw a punch around Principal Jaceâs body. However, he felt as if he was covering a layer of extremely dense wind wall. To Vincent, he was like a mountain that could never be destroyed.
âThis is the difference between a high-level creature and a low-level creature!â
Vincent stood where he was and sighed softly.
When Principal Jace heard this, he could not help but raised his head and laughed loudly. He said to Vincent, âAt your age, to be able to have such strength is already very good! Even in the entire Beast Race, your talent is an existence that is hard to find even back in the ages. Donât compare yourself to this old man!â
Vincent smiled slightly and nodded to accept Principal Jaceâs guidance.
However, Principal Jace did not know that the reason why Vincent attacked him with all his strength was to test how much lethality he could cause in Flying Snow Castle.
The result fully proved that with Vincentâs current strength, nothing could be done!
Principal Jace took out a small box from his body slowly and handed it over to Vincent. He said, âYou are the most outstanding child I have ever seen. You are also the future hope of our War School. This is an elfin that can increase oneâs cultivation. It is an extremely rare treasure. I will not feel that it is a waste if I use it on you. Take it and cultivate well. I will arrange for you to stay here for a few more days. Take advantage of the unique environment of the Flying Snow Castle!â
âThank you, Principal!â
Vincent was secretly delighted. He quickly took the box and put it away.
Being able to stay in the Flying Snow Castle was naturally in accordance with Vincentâs wishes. However, it was far from enough. He still needed to find the whereabouts of his teammates as soon as possible.
âPrincipal, since you want me to stay here, I canât be idle every day! Why donât you bring me around? Firstly, I can familiarize myself with the environment, and secondly, I can see if thereâs anything I can do. Itâs also good to be able to help everyone!â said Vincent with an obedient look.
Principal Jace was stunned. He looked at Vincent for a long time and smiled in relief. He said, âNot bad! Youâre a good child! But there are many forbidden places in the Flying Snow Castle. Iâll bring you around to familiarize yourself with the places that you can walk around!â
âOkay!â
Vincent secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
Principal Jace then brought Vincent around the Flying Snow Castle. Other than the top floor that was considered a forbidden area, they walked through everything. Principal Jace introduced the different areas to Vincent in detail.
âThis is the entire Flying Snow Castle. It is basically a fortress for people to cultivate. However, you must not go to the top floor. Do not inquire about it also. Otherwise, even I would not be able to protect you!â said Principal Jace to Vincent as he walked down the stairs.
Vincentâs brows were tightly knitted at that moment. He nodded his head in a perfunctory manner. He looked around very carefully and did not find any traces of humans. Could it be that his teammate was locked up on the top floor?
Principal Jace noticed Vincentâs strange behavior and could not help but ask, âWhat are you thinking about?â
Vincent came back to his senses and quickly said, âIâm just looking at the Flying Snow Castle. Thereâs nothing for me to do, so I feel a little embarrassed. Is there no other place here?â
Principal Jace was immediately moved by Vincentâs enthusiasm and diligence. He nodded emotionally and said, âThere is another place, but it has been empty all this time. Itâs just that there was a human being locked up there recently!â
âA human!â
Vincent was excited, but he immediately realized that he had lost his composure. He said, âI have never seen a human before. Can you bring me to take a look?â
Principal Jace did not suspect anything and said kindly, âOf course!â
It was just a human. He wanted it to be a prize in the warrior game, but because the warrior game was criticized by others, it was temporarily put on hold.
âHeâs locked in the second underground level. We interrogated him every day in hopes that he will reveal his accomplices!â
Vincent forcefully restrained his worry as he said, âSince itâs the second underground level, it must have a better effect to speed up cultivation?â
âOf course, the special feature of Flying Snow Wilderness is that the lower the temperature, the faster the cultivation speed!â said Principal Jace whilst nodding. He really liked the talented teenager.
Vincent said firmly, âThen let me go to the second underground level. Itâs convenient for cultivation and wonât affect the big figures upstairs. Additionally, with my current strength, itâs easy for me to interrogate a human!â
After thinking for a short while, Principal Jace nodded and said, âThatâs right. I will take you there!â
âFine!â
Vincent hurriedly replied as he followed Principal Jace to the second underground level.
The temperature of the second underground level of Flying Snow Castle was so low that it was unbearable. As soon as Vincent stepped in, he felt a bone-chilling chill and subconsciously shivered.
However, the benefit of this unbearable low temperature was that the cultivation speed was twice as fast compared to the first underground level. While Vincent was surprised, he could not help but worry about his teammates who were locked up there.
At the end of the dark second underground level was a prison covered in frost. A human was tied to a chair. His body was covered in wounds and bloodstains. He was trembling non-stop. It seemed like he would not be able to hold on for long.
When Vincent saw him, his pupils constricted and tears almost came out of his eyes. However, in front of Principal Jace, he tried his best to hold them back.
The person locked up in prison was none other than Vincentâs long-lost comrade, Chris!
After experiencing so much in Beast World, being able to see his comrade was definitely the greatest enrichment for Vincent. However, at that moment, how to recognize Chris and how to rescue him had become a difficult problem!
âThis is a human. From now on, you can stay here and train. If you canât withstand the cold, go up and take a look. As for when interrogating him, be careful not to kill him. Mosshull still wants to keep him as a tribute to Lord Gajero!â
Principal Jace patted Vincentâs shoulder as he instructed him.
âDonât worry, principal!â
Vincent nodded.
Principal Jace reminded him about the matters regarding training. He then turned around and left.
In the entire second underground level, only Vincent and Chris were left. However, Vincent was not sure if there were any eyes spying on him in the surroundings.
âLetâs meet. My name is Vincent!â
Vincent did not reveal his identity immediately. Instead, he pulled a chair and sat opposite Chris. As he observed his injuries, he spoke in an interrogative tone.
Chris suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the tiger-headed man in front of him. He instantly lost interest and snorted coldly, âHmph, you think youâre worthy of being called Vincent?â
âOh? So, you have a human companion named Vincent?â
Vincent displayed his interrogation talent and asked Chris confidently. At the same time, he had already judged his injury. Although it was serious enough to move, fortunately, it did not hurt his fundamental body.
Moreover, because the beasts in Flying Snow Castle were very powerful, they did not cripple Chrisâs cultivation. As long as he helped him recover from his injury, he might be able to have a breakthrough!
Chris realized that he had leaked information regarding his team and immediately shut his mouth. He no longer paid attention to Vincentâs question and only said resolutely, âKill me!â
âIt seems that I have guessed correctly!â
Vincent leaned against the back of his chair and said with a smug smile. Nevertheless, he secretly pricked up his ears and paid serious attention to the movements around him.
âThud, thud!â
The faint sound of footsteps grew further and further away from the dark until it disappeared into the second underground level. However, it did not escape Vincentâs ears.
On the top floor of Flying Snow Castle, Mosshull stood in front of an extremely large energy device. His face was filled with worry.
âThere is only one passage for the Beast Race to travel to the myriad realms. Nothing must happen before Lord Gajero returns! Otherwise, Lord Gajero will only be able to circle back through the Black Hole. But at that time, many variables will have to be added!â Mosshull muttered nervously. He kept pacing back and forth in the room.
Ever since Gajero descended from the 10,000 worlds, defeated the Bear King, and ruled over the Beast Race, he was the first to surrender to the fox tribe in the name of his close relatives. The second to defect was the snow wolf tribe led by Mosshull.
The news of the Bear Kingâs return among the beasts was spreading more and more fiercely. Mosshull was most worried about the fate of himself and the entire snow wolf tribe!
âMy Lord!â
At that moment, a young man from the snow wolf tribe walked up to the top floor and bowed respectfully to Mosshull.
âThat new tiger kid went to the second underground level?â asked Mosshull as he turned around.
âYes! I stopped in the dark for a while. He has some experience in interrogation and has already asked for some information. There should be no problem!â reported the young man from the snow wolf tribe.
Mosshull nodded and said, âSince there is no problem, I am relieved. As long as he doesnât leave the second underground level, there is no need to keep an eye on him!â
âYes!â
The young man from the snow wolf tribe accepted the order and left.
After his subordinate left, Mosshull turned his head towards the energy device and began to pray respectfully.
âGreat Lord Gajero, your most loyal believer is praying here. Currently, the Beast Race is in a bit of a mess. Only your personal arrival can calm it down. Finally, all your believers are here to pray for your return!â
â¦
In the second underground level, Vincent listened patiently for a long time. After confirming that there were no other observers around, he opened his mouth and asked Chris, âWhatâs your name? Can you tell me? Perhaps I have a friend with the same name as you!â
Chris closed his eyes and snorted coldly, completely ignoring Vincent.
When Vincent saw his reaction, he continued speaking, âSince youâre not willing to tell me, then let me tell you about my friends. Far away from here, I have a group of very reliable classmates and partners. Thereâs Chris, Swire, Nabil, Angelina, and Avril. Of course, thereâs also our teacher, Chris. I havenât seen them for a long time, and I miss them very much. I believe that youâre feeling the same as me right now, right?â
Chris raised his head and looked Vincent up and down in disbelief.
âSee you, at last, buddy!â
