Chapter 511: Xiao Jin’s Promotion

Xiao Fan stayed by Xiao Jin's side, acting as his Protector.

When promoting from Rank Two to Rank Three, Xiao Jin had no reaction and promoted very easily.

However, it's different when a Rank Three Yao Beast promotes to Rank Four; it needs to condense a monster core, which is equivalent to the Human Race's Golden Core.

Therefore, the process is incredibly difficult…

"Wuao"…

"Wuao"…

The Golden-Haired Lion growled continuously; one could hear that he was in great pain, a type of promotion pain that was hard to describe.

Xiao Fan stood to the side; when Yao Beasts promote, they are at their lowest point of strength and must overcome this hurdle…

The golden fur on the Golden-Haired Lion's body was constantly transforming, becoming glittering and translucent…

Then, after a day, the fur that had undergone this transformation began to shed…

Xiao Fan watched in surprise: "Has he become a hairless lion?"

At this time, all of Xiao Jin's golden fur had fallen off, leaving only a bare lion's body.

Another day passed, and Xiao Jin was still in the middle of his transformation…

At this point, new fur began to grow on his body… it was also golden, but it seemed to possess an ethereal Qi…

And this golden fur gave off a feeling of being very hard and sturdy…

Meanwhile, Xiao Jin's body size also began to shrink.

Previously, the Golden-Haired Lion had grown to over twenty meters, but now he was slowly becoming smaller.

However, Xiao Fan could detect that Xiao Jin's aura was climbing steadily…

At the same time, the low panting from Xiao Jin's mouth gradually disappeared, and his aura began to stabilize.

Two days later…

"Wuao"!!!

Xiao Jin roared toward the sky, having completely finished his transformation and become a Rank Four Yao Beast.

He was now five meters long, just as he was when Xiao Fan first met him; the difference was that his golden fur was now exceptionally tough…

Xiao Fan was delighted; he hadn't expected that he would actually have a Rank Four Yao Beast now…

This was a Yao Beast equivalent to the Xuandan Realm, incredibly powerful!

The Golden-Haired Lion looked majestic, countless times more domineering than before. He widened his lion eyes and began to look around with disdain, possessing the true aura of the King of Beasts.

But when he saw Xiao Fan, he immediately softened again.

"Wuao"…

With a low growl, the Golden-Haired Lion ran to Xiao Fan's side and began to lick…

His huge tongue licked toward Xiao Fan's face.

"Get lost, get lost, the drool…" Xiao Fan cursed.

"I… didn't… do… it… on purpose…"

"Huh??" Xiao Fan was stunned; the Golden-Haired Lion could actually speak.

And Xiao Jin himself was also stunned, then he began to smack his lips…

"I… can… speak… human… language?" Xiao Jin was overjoyed; he could finally speak.

Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you're finally not a mute anymore. Don't go 'wuao' howling for no reason from now on."

"Wuao"…

"I… think… it's… more… natural… to howl…" Xiao Jin's speech was stuttered, and his voice sounded like a young man's, though it was exceptionally deep.

"Fine, whatever you want!" Xiao Fan waved his hand, but his face was full of joy.

His Yao Beast could actually speak now…

Xiao Jin was also full of joy and felt great; he had become a Rank Four Yao Beast and could even speak.

Xiao Jin was different from the Yao Beasts inside the Secret Realm; those beasts had never come into contact with the Human Race, so even if they reached Rank Four and gained human intelligence, they couldn't speak.

But Xiao Jin lived in the outside world and had hung around with Xiao Fan for so long; it was normal for him to be able to speak after promoting to Rank Four.

"Alright, let me see your current speed!" Xiao Fan sat down on Xiao Jin's back.

"Wuao… sure… thing…" Xiao Jin let out a cry and then carried Xiao Fan, sprinting into the distance.

His speed now was extremely fast, only a sliver slower than Xiao Fan running at full power.

Xiao Fan had now gained a true helper; he never dreamed that by entering this Secret Realm, Xiao Jin would be able to promote to a Rank Four Yao Beast!

Two days later…

"Let's find a place to Cultivate. I feel like I can promote to the Xuandan Realm now…"

Xiao Fan let out a breath; he planned to promote to the Xuandan Realm…

Xiao Jin was very obedient, wearing an expression that said he would do whatever his big brother said…

At this moment, Xiao Fan's communication jade slip suddenly received a message…

"Is it Qiao Rong?"

Xiao Fan was startled; he originally thought it would be a transmission from He Yutang, but it turned out to be from Qiao Rong.

On second thought, it made sense; the communication jade slip being 'broken' meant it couldn't contact people outside the Secret Realm, but Qiao Rong herself was inside this Secret Realm.

The two of them could naturally contact each other.

"Xiao Fan, where are you… we… are trapped… need rescue…"

The words from the communication jade slip were intermittent…

Xiao Fan immediately replied using the communication jade slip: What happened, where are you?

After a long while…

On the other side of the communication jade slip, Qiao Rong sent a location… and a sentence.

"We… are trapped in… a Large Tomb… need… someone… to rescue… from the outside…"

The transmission signal was very poor; Xiao Fan knew that they must have encountered danger.

He had a good relationship with Qiao Rong, and Wu Qingyan was also there.

Elder Qiao from the Treasure Pavilion had helped him several times, so even though Xiao Fan knew this place would be very dangerous, he still had to go.
