Chapter 19: The City Lord’s Mansion



Wu Yunzhou and the others were puzzled.

The deepest color they had seen before was only a deep orange-red. Such a bright, fiery red color, like a burning cloud, was something they had never even heard of, let alone seen.

“The Source Pool Mountain test shows red, yellow, and green colors to represent the stability of the Source Pool!”

Suppressing his excitement, Dean Lu Mingrong hurriedly explained, “Normally, a Source Pool at the First Grade level would only show a deep red color. Only by surpassing this level can the three colors blend together to produce a golden light. I always thought it was just a legend, but it’s real, and it’s right in front of us!”

“If that’s the case…”

Wu Yunzhou swallowed hard, his voice trembling. “Then the Destiny Disk wasn’t broken, and the super genius really exists?”

“That’s right! Not only do they exist, but they just walked past the Source Pool Mountain! As for why it only appeared after everyone had left… it’s likely because the level is so high that even the Source Pool Mountain couldn’t measure it accurately at first!”

Lu Mingrong smiled wryly.

A delayed talent test, it seemed this old Source Pool Mountain was also due for replacement…

“Since we’re sure, we must find them. No matter how low-key this genius is, we will definitely find them if we try hard enough!”

Wu Yunzhou nodded excitedly.

“Indeed! If we don’t find such talent, it will haunt us forever…” Great Elder Ran Qingxu also agreed.

A Saint Grade talent...

It’s uncertain if even one could appear in the entire kingdom. If one emerged in their academy and they failed to seize the opportunity, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

“Dean, we couldn’t identify who it was from the Source Pool Mountain. I’m worried… what if this genius doesn’t come back tomorrow? How will we find them?”

Second Elder Wu Liuyun expressed his concern.

“That’s what I’m worried about too…”

Hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingrong said, “Vice-principle Wu, go to the City Lord’s Mansion and have City Lord Yu seal the city gates. No one who came to the academy today, regardless of age, is allowed to leave the city!”

“Yes!”

Wu Yunzhou cupped his fists.

The dean’s meticulous thinking was impressive. As long as the exits were sealed and no one could leave, they would naturally find the genius.

...

The carriage sped along, and in less than half an hour, a magnificent complex appeared before them, more imposing than White Rock Academy. Even before they reached it, two waves of armored soldiers came forward to meet them.

“Miss, you’ve finished your assessment…”

A middle-aged armored soldier approached.

“Yup!”

Yu Xiaoyu jumped off the carriage and landed lightly on the ground. “Captain Hu, where is my father?”

Captain Hu smiled, “Miss, the City Lord is in the side hall with Adviser Liao, trying to tame the Cangback Eagle…”

“Then I’ve come at the right time!”

Hearing that her father hadn’t succeeded yet, Yu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up. She turned to Zhang Xuan, “Let’s go!”

Zhang Xuan responded, jumped off the carriage, and was about to follow when two soldiers stepped forward, crossing their long spears to block his path.

Yu Xiaoyu’s face darkened. “What are you doing?”

Captain Hu said, “Miss, please have this person show his identification. I fear there may be danger…”

“Identification? He is Xue’er’s gro… friend! I specifically invited him to help my father tame the Cangback Eagle. Show some respect!”

Yu Xiaoyu raised her head and scolded sternly.

“This…” Captain Hu frowned.

Seeing that he still wouldn\'t let them through, Yu Xiaoyu continued, "What, my words don\'t matter anymore?"

Captain Hu hurriedly bowed. "I wouldn\'t dare!"

He gestured for the soldiers to lower their spears.

"Let\'s go!"

With a cold snort, Yu Xiaoyu led the way towards the gate. Zhang Xuan followed closely behind. After walking a bit and seeing that they were far from Captain Hu, she stuck out her tongue and fanned her face with her hand, "That was close. This Captain Hu is so rigid. If he found out you were just a servant with no identification, he definitely wouldn\'t have let you in."

"Thank you, Miss Yu!" Zhang Xuan cupped his fists.

Yu Xiaoyu shook her head, "Why thank me? I\'m asking for your help! Don\'t worry, I\'m much more generous than your family\'s young lady. If you can help me tame the Cangback Eagle, I\'ll give you 200... no, 196 source coins!"

"196?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

Why such an odd number?

Yu Xiaoyu blushed, "That\'s all the money I have on me today... but don\'t worry, I\'ll ask my dad for more tomorrow!"

Zhang Xuan felt a pang of sympathy, realizing that even the daughter of the City Lord had limited pocket money. Thinking about his own poverty made him feel even more desolate...

The City Lord’s Mansion was vast, with pavilions and towers everywhere. If he walked by himself, he might easily get lost. He followed closely behind Yu Xiaoyu, and soon they arrived at a spacious side hall.

"Dad..."

Before they even entered, Yu Xiaoyu called out. As soon as her voice rang out, a nervous voice responded, "Shh..."

Zhang Xuan looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a square face sitting in the middle of the room on a sandalwood stool. Seeing her rush in, he anxiously put his finger to his lips, making a silencing gesture repeatedly.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man dressed as an adviser, with a wisp of green beard, probably the Adviser Liao mentioned by Captain Hu.

In front of them on a perch stood a bull-sized eagle, its body covered in a bluish-green color, with an iron-gray spine that looked like it had a steel plate welded onto it.

It was a Source Beast—the Cangback Eagle!

At this moment, the Cangback Eagle no longer had the majestic appearance of a Source Beast. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its body trembled on the perch as if it would collapse at any moment...

Of course, City Lord Yu across from it didn\'t look much better. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ashen, looking like he was on the verge of collapse.

"Miss, you\'re back. How did your Source Pool assessment go? What grade did you get? Who did you take as your teacher?"

Adviser Liao lowered his voice and looked over curiously.

"The academy\'s Destiny Disk broke, so we have to do it tomorrow..." Yu Xiaoyu explained.

"The Destiny Disk was crafted by experts from the Destiny Hall. Although it’s not as sturdy as some powerful source weapons, it’s still quite strong. How could it break?" Adviser Liao was stunned.

"I don\'t know either!"

Shaking her head, Yu Xiaoyu explained her purpose. "I\'m not here to talk about that. Dad hasn\'t tamed the Cangback Eagle yet, right? I found a friend who is good at taming beasts to help!"

"Good at taming beasts?" Adviser Liao was puzzled.

"Yes!"

Yu Xiaoyu proudly pointed at Zhang Xuan. "This is Zhang Xuan. He has a natural ability to make source beasts feel at ease and can tame them easily!"

"Hearing the term \'source beasts,\' one would understand that they are extremely proud and unruly creatures. If they could be tamed easily, the City Lord wouldn\'t have spent half a month without sleep trying to tame this one..."

Adviser Liao frowned after hearing Yu Xiaoyu’s introduction. His face darkened. "Miss, you might have been deceived by some charlatan."
