Five countries and one capital, eachwith its own characteristics.

The Great Zhou Empire was famous for its warriors. However over the years, the martial talent had withered away. The Martial King Yun Bahe was already old, and the country's power was steadily weakening.

On the contrary, the Future Peng Empire, although not a big country compared to the other four, and only a country beside the sea, but over the years, because of several legendary summoners with far-reaching fame, it quickly gained a foothold among the five countries.

The Future Peng Empire's summoners didn't reach this height by only their own strength, but also because they had another characteristic.

Upon awakening their abilities, each summoner would receive a loyal escort from the country's Martial Hall, as per the country's regulations.

These escort warriors were inseparable from the summoner. And until the summoner could stand on their own, the escort would protect their life.

In this way, the lives of the summoners in the Future Peng Empire would be greatly protected, and their growth would be especially rapid.

There were even rumors that the real power backing the Future Peng Empire was the Summoner Temple.

"This man died in the Wanlong Gambling Hall, I will explain myself to the government of the Great Zhou Empire, continue bidding." The female summoner was very arrogant.

After this, no one dared to bid against the female summoner anymore. In the end, the Wall Shield Turtle was obtained by the female summoner for a whole 10,000 gold coins.

Most guests didn't leave. Many weren't disappointed that they didn't find a suitable beast.

After all, there were only twenty demon beasts. Compared to a few hundred guests, they were far too few.

One of the main reasons many people came to the Gambling Stone Banquet was to watch the dismantling of the beasts.

Yun Sheng and her companions were no exception.

To dig-out the Soulstones, is mostly handed to the Wanlong Gambling House. After all, not many of the people present were really good at the digging-out the Soulstones, and it wasn't that expensive to pay an extra 30% gold coins either.

It was unknown where in the beast's body the Soulstone would grow in. Only the most experienced hunters would know how to get them the most efficiently.

When it was Tang Yu's turn, he yelled out. "This young master wants to do it personally."

Turned out that, after he had been frightened by Qi Gubian, he felt ashamed. So he wanted to prove that he could take out the Soulstone himself.

Yun Sheng secretly laughed in her heart, this Tang Yu was really stupid. He really wanted to be humiliated even more today.

Seeing that their young master insisted on personally digging-out the Soulstone, several guards from General's Estate carried the leopard to a crystal table for dismantling.

Tang Yu, carrying a sharp dagger, sliced open the leopard's skin with a single slash under the instructions of the staff.

The smell of blood rushed out, and Tang Yu almost puked. Holding his breath, he continued in order to prove that he was after all from the General's Mansion.

With one more slash he cut the chest area open, but there was no Soulstone at all, only organs and blood.

"Maybe it's in the heart, I have heard that the Soulstones of the beasts of the leopard family tend to grow in vital locations." Tang Yu heard this, and without a second thought, stabbed the knife in his hand into the leopard's heart.

A poof sound.

The heart had exploded and a stream of blood sprayed onto Tang Yu's face.

His face was dripping with blood and there was even some in his mouth, his expression was uglier than while crying.

Yun Cangxue couldn't preserve her expression, the guard beside her couldn't bear to see anymore, and whispered in a low voice. "Madame, that was an ordinary mountain leopard, don't let the young master lose face anymore."

"Blind your dog eyes, you can't even tell apart ordinary beasts from demon beasts, what's the point of keeping you in the General's Estate!"

The bloodied Tang Yu also saw this scene and started cursing. "An unseeing thing, causing your young master to spend a lot of gold coins on a dirty leopard."

A dirty leopard and a dirty young master, a natural pair.

This mother and son of the General's Estate were truly a superb pair. It was obviously them that had misjudged the beast with their bad eyesight. But now, they blamed everything on the guards instead, the spectators on the side only shook their heads.

Thinking in their hearts, it was really a misfortune for the prestigious family, General Yun Bahe had been so outstanding, but he had nobody to succeed him.

Tang Yu stood grudgingly to the side,he had unsuccessfully gambled, he thought that naturally there would be other unlucky ones.

The next few people, who had won beasts, were moderately successful, and got a few Soulstones varying from third to fourth-rank, while employing the Wanlong Gambling House's dismantling service.

Finally, it was the female summoner's turn.

Among the demon beasts, the turtle had the strongest defense, and the shell was especially hard. What kind of weapon would be used to dismantle it?

The guests present were wondering about this.

Turtle-type demon beasts also had other characteristics, it's defense was really strong. Especially after the death of the beast, its shell would become even harder. Only a warrior with superior strength, or a magician proficient in thunder magic, could split it.

Generally speaking, the attributes of the summoned beast and the summoner were the same, so the female summoner who had just summoned a water attribute ice demon beast was a water magician herself.

"Lady Summoner, I'm afraid I have to tell you. This Wall Shield Turtle, we can't guarantee that we will be able dismantle it smoothly either." it seemed like Long Huo knew the tricky nature of this Wall Shield Turtle, but the female summoner simply shrugged it off.

"No harm, I'll take care of it myself." The female summoner seemed to be prepared, she had killed someone in the Wanlong Gambling House naturally the other side would have no good feelings towards her.

She raised her hand, lying quietly in her palm was a blue-purple bead.

The bead wasn't big, but on it a blue-purple lighting spell flashed.

The lighting within was like a living being, incessantly beating in the pearl.

"Thunder Bead, a mid-grade magic tool. It's said that as long as one possessed a Thunder Bead, even if one wasn't a thunder magician, one could still summon lightning." Once the bead was revealed, there was a sudden uproar.

A mid-grade magic tool?

When Yun Sheng was Jiao Ye Village, she had been plotted against by Ding Lei with a low-grade magic tool.

Low-grade magic weapons were much less powerful than mid-grade magic weapons, which often contained no less power than intermediate spells.

This Thunder Bead was a mid-grade magic weapon.

It was unknown what the female summoner intended to do with the Thunder Bead she had taken out.

The female summoner held the Thunder Bead in her hand, and raised her magic scepter in the other hand high.

She chanted in a low voice.

The bead floated into the air, the thunder magic elements gathered, and a lightning bolt about the size of her arm broke out of the bead.

The lightning was like a purple centipede, hitting the shell of the Wall Shield Turtle.

A crack appeared on the incomparably hard shell of the Wall Shield Turtle, as the lighting struck down.

Three lightning flashed in succession, they all hit the crack with unparalleled accuracy, until the hard shell finally broke open, the Soulstone within rolling out.

The female summoner had an overjoyed look on her face and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the Soulstone.
