This was the first time Yun Sheng had seen so many magicians and warriors at once place outside the Royal Magic Academy, especially magicians. Yun Sheng suspected that all magicians from Yujing City had gathered here.

Of course, most of the guests are still warriors. After all, the Great Zhou Empire was ruled by warriors.

Yun Sheng's Shen Nong Pupil had broken through the entry stage and had reached the realm of Insight,so her gaze was very sharp when looking at people.

As long as the magicians and warriors weren't two steps above her current power, she would be able to see through their cultivation.

The strength of warriors varied, from Martial Artists to Martial Masters. So did most magicians, with Magicians making up the most part, some Great Magician and Magisters.

But there were also a few people that Yun Sheng couldn't see through.

Among them was also the female summoner as well as the domineering warrior beside her. Yun Sheng reckoned that these two were either using some special magic weapon or techniques that hid their strength.

After Yun Sheng had checked the strength of all the guests, she secretly decided in her heart to act low profile and never provoke these people unless she had to.

"The Gambling Stone Banquet has begun." the hall suddenly quieted down, and in a short period, the guests gathered in groups of twos and threes.

Yun Sheng, Qi Gubian, and Gu Feng chose an inconspicuous corner to stand.

"Boom!" a ball of fire emerged fromthe ground, before exploding inside the hall like a brilliant firework.

A smiling magician appeared from the firework, a Magic Master with a handsome face and a shrewd look in his eyes.

The warriors present nuzzled their mouths in disdain. They hated it when magicians showed off their flashy magic.

"Welcome everyone, to the Wanlong Gambling House. I am the magician that will lead today, Long Huo."as the largest gambling house in the city, the identity of the Wanlong Gambling House's owner was shrouded in mystery. Several rumors were flying around, but no one had seen him.

But it was known that this master was very powerful and even wealthier.

Not only did he employ powerful guards,but he also had a few competent Magic Masters under him. Namely Long Huo (Fire), Long Bing (Ice), Long Tu (Earth), and Long Feng (Wind).

Usually, these four Magic Masters did not appear in public, only at the gambling stone banquet could some of them be seen.

Long Huo gave a signal and waved his hand.

A few strong warriors carried out the demon beasts.

A total of twenty demon beasts would be auctioned in one night. And as Yun Sheng heard earlier, most of the demon beasts were either dead or dying.

If you were to touch them you would find that they were still warm. Which proved that they had only been killed recently.

These demon beasts varied in size and species. But most of them had one characteristic, their bodies were intact, and there was only one fatal wound on their body, either inthe eye or mouth. In short, they were all wounds that didn't lower the value of the demon beast.

It could be seen that the people who hunted these demon beasts were all seasoned hunters.

After seeing the demon beasts, Yun Sheng realized that there should be a large team of hunters behind the Wanlong Gambling House.

Yun Sheng also saw that these beasts ranks were also very difficult to measure.

For example, take the first beast that was carried out, it was a third-rank Gale Leopard, but it looked like a fifth-rank Thunder Leopard.

At a glance, it was difficult to distinguish their ranks.

Although the third and fifth-rank were only two ranks apart, the value of the Soulstones was vastly different.

Not to mention, the chance of the Gale Leopard having a Soulstone was only twenty percent, and fifth-rank Thunder Leopard had a fifty percent chance.

"There are a total of twenty demon beasts here, all of them are the freshest. I, Long Huo, guarantee with the dignity of a magician that as long as there are still Soulstones in their bodies, after digging them out, the assimilation rate will be over fifty percent." Long Huo's voice rumbled,everyone clearly heard his words.

The fresher the Soulstone, the higher the assimilation rate. The Soulstone in Yun Sheng's magic scepter,the one that came from the Fire Lion Bull, had a high assimilation rate, the reason was that she immediately used it after digging it out of the beast's body.

Twenty demon beasts, placed on the hall's gorgeous crystal tables, illuminated by the magical crystal lamp. Together it created a sense of violent beauty.

The starting bids were at five hundred gold coins.

This amount would have been too much for Yun Sheng and the others just a few hours ago. It was good that Yun Sheng had made that big bet which brought them a lot of money.

As expected by Yun Sheng, most people shook their heads more than a little after looking at these beasts,even a few warriors and magicians with hunting experience were unable to identify the ranks of the beasts.

It was too difficult.

Like the other guests, Yun Sheng and the others carefully and patiently observed each beast.

From the fur to the claws, to their color.

It was too wicked, after all, picking a demon beast didn't only depend on rank, but also the corresponding magical attributes. Otherwise, if the attributes didn't match or countered each other, even if one got a high-rank demon beast, it would be a waste.

When it came to distinguishing the rank of a specific beast, most people would choose a conservative method.That was, to choose a beast with a larger size and more ferocious nature.

After all, the world of the demon beasts was also incredibly cruel, and often the more ferocious a demon beast looked the higher its rank was.

"Gu Feng, did any of them catch your eye?" Yun Sheng swept a glance over the demon beasts.

"Too alike... I initially... thought that leopard... was pretty good... but I looked at it... and it looked very much like an ordinary mountain leopard." Gu Feng was atypical sufferer of difficult choices. Making him choose was undoubtedly harder than having to take a magic combat class.

The strong-looking, streamlined leopard was also favored by many people, especially by the warriors. If it was a fifth-rank Thunder Leopard, after digging out its Soulstone,whether it was embedded in a weapon or a sheath, it would bring quite a lot of bonus damage.

Yun Sheng quietly narrowed her eyes.

Shen Nong Pupil, second stage,activate.

Under the magic cloak, Yun Sheng's dark eyes were quickly covered with a layer of gold.

Her gaze swept over the demon beasts yet again.

Under the influence of the second stage Shen Nong Pupil, the appearance of the demon beasts was no longer important, and the exterior that confused people disappeared.

What revealed itself in front of Yun Sheng instead were patches of magic elements, they could be strong or weak, and had various colors.


It was amidst these patches of color that Yun Sheng's pupils discovered something.
