The Purple Crystal Armor dispersed . The Unicorn flew out from Zhang Che’s brows, and immediately shot a milky white ray at its master, healing his injuries .
That hit he took earlier wasn’t followed up by the Earthen Rock Demon with the Lightning Rock Spear, but his injuries weren’t light, regardless .
If it wasn’t for his superhuman physique, he wouldn’t have made it through this time .
“How dangerous!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but sigh in fear after his injuries were thoroughly healed .
Originally, he was fully confident of taking down the Earthen Rock Demon . Looking back at it now, it was a little too risky…
Although the golden vortex displayed its might at the last moment, letting the two swords combine into one and unleash a devastating attack to directly kill the Earthen Rock Demon, the situation was beyond Zhang Che’s calculations .
In other words, if the golden vortex hadn’t suddenly erupted, other than running away with an injured body, there was nothing Zhang Che could do, not to mention losing the chance to slay the mid-tier epic-quality exotic beast .
“Looks like I have overestimated my overall strength a little…”
Shaking his head, Zhang Che walked towards where the epic-quality beast card had fallen .
At the same time, the scarlet and white swords descended from the sky in a spin, then hovered around Zhang Che in a circle slowly . At present, Zhang Che had lost his control over the swords again, and he could only let them remain in their original forms .
At his will, the two swords were recalled into his spiritual sea . While Zhang Che walked, he focused his mind into his spiritual sea . He saw the golden vortex had turned into a tiny origin, its aura extremely weak, not moving at all .
Zhang Che was shocked . -Is the golden vortex crippled?-
He immediately stopped, focusing on the golden vortex . He actually didn’t enter that profound state!
-This… is it really crippled?-
Zhang Che was truly at a loss for words . If that sudden eruption from before led to the crippling of the golden vortex, then he had truly suffered a huge loss!
Despite him successfully slaying the Earthen Rock Demon as he hoped to, the crucial thing was that the fellow was a six-star exotic beast! Zhang Che didn’t know when would he be able to finally make use of it!
Now that he had lost the golden vortex, and in turn, the ability to direct the swords, Zhang Che was significantly weakened . Although he could rely on his babies to gang up on mid-tier legend-quality exotic beasts, if he encountered any epic-quality beasts, he would have no way of obtaining victory!
Therefore, be it in the short-term or the long-term, it seemed like it wasn’t worth it .
Zhang Che’s complexion started to turn ugly .
He continued checking for a long time . In the end, he realized the golden vortex shouldn’t be crippled forever . However, due to it exhausting too much energy, it had fallen into a deep slumber .
“This sucks . I was originally planning on breaking through in this beast world to Tier Six as before I returned . ”
Zhang Che felt like crying, but no tears would come out . Although the golden vortex was only sleeping, and he could be considered to have made it out on the winning side overall, for the next few days, his overall strength had decreased instead of increasing . That was the solid truth, and nothing could be done to change it .
“Forget it . You win some, you lose some! How can everything be perfect?”
Zhang Che could only sigh . Shaking his head, his resumed walking and picked up the beast card on the ground, taking a look at the Earthen Rock Demon’s attributes .

As he had expected, the Earthen Rock Demon was indeed an Original Combat Body-type beast . Once his beastmaster tier rose to Tier Six, his fighting strength would immediately double .
Just with this, Zhang Che would totally have a fighting chance if he came across another mid-tier epic-quality exotic beast . Although it wasn’t guaranteed that he would slay the mid-tier epic-quality beast, he could at least place himself in an undefeatable position .
And so, the problem was back to the same point . Zhang Che had to advance to a Tier Six beastmaster before his strength would truly reach new heights .
“Forget it . Now that the golden vortex is recovering, heavens knows when it will recover . I better not continue staying around here . I’ll return first and prepare to open my own high-end beast card shop . ”
Zhang Che was really hoping that he could successfully “swindle” his great-aunt’s family to migrate over to Bei Du with his idea of opening a beast card shop .
Otherwise, with him always being away from home, he didn’t have much time to keep his mother company . With no other friends or relatives around, Sun Lan’s psyche might be affected negatively when she lived alone for too long . This would greatly affect her health .
Not only that, Zhang Che even thought that at the most he’d cough up a portion of the beast card shop’s profits as salary for his great-aunt’s family . That was totally doable .
In any case, he didn’t need that bit of money at all .
Just that huge piece of spiritual jade alone was worth way more than what ordinary people could imagine . Some mid-tier exotic beast cards really couldn’t be counted for much against it .
Since it was already getting late, naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t set off right away .
He rested a night in this empty mountain peacefully, not having to worry about any exotic beasts coming to harass him .
The next morning, Zhang Che got on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and sped off in the direction he came from .

At dawn five days later, Zhang Che finally returned to Bei Du airport .
“The moon is brighter in one’s hometown, and the people more familiar . The people from ancient times were right!”
Once he returned to Hua Xia soil, Zhang Che immediately felt his entire being relax, feeling an indescribable carefreeness .
Of course, the main reason he could relax was because the Miyazaki Clan would never come find trouble with him again .
After he exited the beast world, Zhang Che saw the news regarding the Miyazaki Clan on his personal terminal .
Although many suspicious areas could be seen in the conflict between the Miyazaki Clan and the faction from Bei Mei after the matter started, both parties had already fully committed themselves to the fight . Who would bother about whether it was suspicious or not? All that mattered was to screw the other party!
As long as they beat down the opposite party and obtained the results of their research regarding exotic beast genetics evolution fluid, the war wouldn’t be considered a failure .
That’s right; during their extended fight, both sides had realized the other party was actually conducting similar research!
This was also the crucial reason as to why neither of them had any intention of coming to a truce, despite realizing the cause of their conflict was suspicious .
“Now, I can finally rest assured!”
Zhang Che was very glad to see such a result . No matter how the fight between the Miyazaki Clan and the mysterious faction from Bei Mei played out, he was completely safe . He didn’t have to worry about someone coming to do anything to his closed ones in the dark . That was enough!
