Chapter 396
Hopefully, Kartis Sham, who is quite concerned about appearances, won't lose his composure too much when he witnesses Kartis Van's sorry state firsthand.
While Blaze Regret was cultivating the art of transforming sand into wings and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous was refining the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast, a massive abyss located in a corner of the ancient land was far from peaceful. Countless figures were shuttling through the abyss, with an endless stream of people continuously flocking towards it.
"Boom!"
A thick bolt of lightning struck down from the dark, oppressive clouds, resembling a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, dazzling and brilliant. The mountain walls of the abyss below immediately sparkled with dazzling lightning, as if forming a natural world of thunder.
This place was unmistakably the birth place of the Thunder Soul Bead, known as Thunder Abyss.
Within Thunder Abyss, countless thunder attribute spiritual beasts resided, the most famous among them being the Thunder Brocade Fish and the Thunder Light Beast.
These two types of spiritual beasts, though relatively weak in strength, yield a quantity of Thunder Soul Beads upon their defeat that is no less than that of other thunder beasts. Therefore, the Thunder Brocade Fish and the Thunder Light Beast have always been the favorite targets for hunters participating in the trials.
In this abyss, bloody conflicts often arise over the competition for Thunder Soul Beads. Many individuals even engage in fierce battles for a single Thunder Soul Bead, as collecting more beads significantly increases their chances of ranking among the top three.
Within the distorted space, a figure clad in a white robe sat quietly atop a massive rock. Within a radius of a thousand meters, no other spirit master was present.
Even those who saw him immediately kept their distance, fearing to leave a negative impression on him.
This individual was none other than Kartis Van, the son of Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family.
"Whoosh~"
Slowly opening his eyes, the Thunder Light Giant Wolf behind Kartis Van suddenly raised its head and howled towards the sky. A violent surge of spiritual power swept out, sending the thunder attribute spiritual beasts in the surrounding cliffs into a frantic escape.
"Breakthrough."
Kartis Van glanced back at the Silver Thunder Wolf, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth. After refining a large number of Thunder Soul Beads, his Silver Thunder Wolf had finally broken through from the ninth tier advanced imperial grade to the first tier intermediate lord grade.
Its strength soared several times over in an instant.
Standing up slowly, Kartis Van's gaze was fixed straight at the entrance of Thunder Abyss, with a mocking smile gradually spreading across his face.

"What descendant of the Flame Emperor? In the end, you're nothing more than a stepping stone for me. The pitiful thing is, this stepping stone isn't even aware of its own insignificance. Do you really think that by elevating yourself to my level, you can prove anything?"
Kartis Van sneered coldly, "I will use reality to utterly crush you, and make you understand that a country bumpkin from a small place can never stand alongside my name. Pitiful and laughable."
"Young Master Kartis, have you finished indulging in your delusions?"
A voice tinged with amusement suddenly came from below, startling Kartis Van. His grim gaze shot downward, landing on the youthful and handsome face of a boy.
Riding on the back of Red, Blaze Regret smiled warmly as he looked down at Kartis Van. The contrasting gaze between them caused a faint tension to fill the air.
"I didn't expect you to actually dare come."
After a moment of silence, Kartis Van spoke slowly, though his voice was laced with unconcealed mockery, "Bravery commendable, but you seem to be a fool."
As these words were spoken, the entire Thunder Abyss fell silent. Most of the people present did not recognize Blaze Regret, but from Kartis Van's tone, they quickly grasped the situation.
"If you're going to fight, hurry up. I still have to go to the Thousand Stone Hall to assume my position as honorary elder."
Blaze Regret smiled slightly, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Kartis Van's Silver Thunder Wolf had already advanced to the lord grade.
"You're not qualified to face me."
Kartis Van's lips curled into a sinister smile as he said, "Song Fan, Wun Mon."
As Kartis Van's final words fell, two tall figures quietly emerged from the peak of a towering mountain. Their icy gazes locked onto Blaze Regret, sharp and unyielding.
One bore a rugged mountain tattoo on his chest, while the other had a striking blood eagle mark on his forehead.
"Song Fan, Wun Mon."
Blaze Regret's gaze swept over the two men, and he remarked calmly, "So you're from Tiger Demon Mountain and Blood Eagle Pavilion. However, it seems that the strength of your ninth tier spirit Imperial master might not be enough."
"What an arrogant young lad."
Upon hearing this, Song Fan and Wun Mon didn't get angry; instead, they smiled sinisterly. As their hands clenched into fists, a blood eagle with outstretched wings and a fierce tiger shrouded in sinister aura swiftly emerged from their spiritual portals.
With the appearance of these two spiritual beasts, a palpable sense of dread immediately washed over the faces of many in Thunder Abyss.
The blood eagle circling in the sky, known as the Blood Cry Eagle, was the signature spiritual beast of Blood Eagle Pavilion. Meanwhile, the fierce tiger roaring at the heavens was the Black Fiend Tiger, a beast solely belonging to Tiger Demon Mountain.
With these two ninth tier advanced Imperial grade spiritual beasts, Song Fan and Wun Mon were undoubtedly strong contenders for a top three spot in this trial.
"If you can defeat them, then perhaps you might qualify to face me. Otherwise, just roll out of here on your own."
