Chapter 35
Phantom took several glances at the weapon as he stared at it before suddenly calling out in a somber voice, “I recognize this thing. It’s called Chasing Light!”
“Chasing Light!” Xia Fei was somewhat surprised. Just from hearing its name, he knew that this double-edged hidden blade must be a decent weapon, as its name also sounded so imposing.
“Chasing Light is a weapon that was created by a group of skilled craftsmen from a planet called Talmania. It is said that such a double-edged hidden blade requires three top tier craftsmen to spend an entire year working on it. Just the Cyan Blood alloy that the blade used is worth 100 million star coins!” Phantom explained.
The fact that it took three top tier craftsmen a whole year to create something so small was enough to show its complexity and meticulous make.
“What rank is this weapon?” Xia Fei asked.
“Legendary!” Phantom proclaimed.

The quality of equipment that was used for battle, like weapons and combat suits, could all be similarly distinguished by their ranks, just like Abilities. The higher the rank, the higher the price and the higher the performance of the equipment.
A user would be able to establish contracts with exotic beasts once they reached the 6th stage.
Once a contract had been established with an exotic beast, the owner and the beast would be able to connect in their hearts and minds, allowing them to communicate directly through their consciousness, giving out orders in such a manner.

An exotic beast would remain loyal once it had recognized someone as its master, staying alive if their master lives, following them in death if their master were to die.

Finally, a user would be able to command interstellar beasts, allowing the user to build a strong and loyal army of exotic beasts once they reached the 9th stage!
Unfortunately, the Beast Spirit Codex in Xia Fei’s possession was incomplete, as there were no records of the mantra after the 6th stage.

Xia Fei reckoned that the Beast Spirit Codex he had was a duplicate copy, which was why it lacked the most important mantra for the last 3 stages.

Even though it was regrettable, just the first 6 stages of the Beast Spirit Codex would allow Xia Fei to gain benefits that would last a lifetime if he were to successfully cultivate it.
After completing the prescribed amount of cultivation, Xia Fei walked out of the cultivation room sweating profusely, the singlet he was wearing already drenched through, his sweat spraying with every step he took.
He made his way to the drinking fountain and loudly gulped down a large glass of clear water, followed by two more glasses of water.
Xia Fei drank six glasses of water in rapid succession before he collapsed on the sofa from exhaustion, as his two eyes struggled to stay awake.

“How is your Beast Spirit Codex cultivation coming along so far?” Phantom had appeared in the corner of the room and asked.
Xia Fei picked up a cigarette and placed it on his lips, taking a deep breath as he lit it up, “I just broke through the first stage.”
1
“I see,” Phantom couldn’t help but nod. The Beast Spirit Codex contained the two major techniques of ocular cognition and telepathy. They were very difficult to cultivate, and the fact that Xia Fei could make the breakthrough to the first stage just by fumbling around on his own in such a short time couldn’t be considered slow progress.
After all, having a teacher to guide you and grasping the concepts by yourself were two different matters altogether.
The crisp sound of a ringing telephone sounded all of a sudden as Xia Fei brought the receiver to his ear, “This is Xia Fei. May I know who this is?”
A deep and robust voice came from the other end, “I am the deputy examiner for this Adjudicator Union’s Crisis grade assessment, Bosingwa. I am calling to inform you of some things.”
“Oh, hello there. May I know what information you are passing along?” Xia Fei furrowed his brow and thought to himself, ‘Deputy examiner? What could he possibly want to tell?’
“It’s this. There would be another Apprentice Adjudicator assessment organized on Earth next year in the month of June; it would similarly be looking to recruit three Apprentice Adjudicators, except it would be a Safe grade assessment this time, which means there’s no need for you to participate in the Crisis grade assessment this time around, while still retaining the chance to become an Adjudicator,” Bosingwa explained.
Xia Fei chuckled, “Examiner Bosingwa, I’ve already decided I’ll be participating in the assessment this time. If I do not make it, I will be sure to register for the next year’s assessment.”

The voice on the other side of the call was stunned. Evidently, Xia Fei’s answer was not something Bosingwa had expected. “Have you read the latest update regarding this assessment? It has been re-graded to be a Crisis assessment.”
“I’ve read it,” Xia Fei replied faintly.
“In that case, I have nothing further to say to this. The only native Earthlings registered for this assessment are Su Ruoyu and yourself, I wish the two of you the best of luck.”

Hanging up, Xia Fei muttered to himself, “Su Ruoyu? It sounds like a girl’s name.”

That was when the electronic alarm on the table suddenly rang. The first round of bidding for the Masterpiece Auction was about to begin.
