Divine Beast Adventures Chapter 332 – Departure

Zhang Che suddenly remembered something after they messed around for a bit and said to Huang Tielan, “Right, I have something else for you.”

“What is it?” Huang Tielan asked, smiling, but she wasn’t really looking forward to anything.

Well, it was mainly that Zhang Che gave her presents too often, leading to her greatly lowered anticipation.

Zhang Che chuckled and summoned a two-star dark gold-quality beast card. With a glow of light, a green sword with a unique design appeared in his hand.

Huang Tielan finally opened her mouth slightly in surprise. She said in disbelief, “This is… a Mutated Puffersword?”

While speaking, she summoned her own one-star gold-quality Mutated Puffersword and compared it with the one in Zhang Che’s hand. She discovered that their length and color differed slightly, but everything else seemed the same.

-That is strange. Why is the one he gifted me one-star gold-quality, but his is two-star dark gold-quality?-

Seeing the confused look on Huang Tielan, Zhang Che chuckled, “Strange, isn’t it? Because yours is a female and mine is a male. Naturally it will be a star and quality higher than yours.”

Originally, Huang Tielan was going to listen to Zhang Che’s explanation properly. When she heard the later part, she immediately ground her teeth, “Zhang Xiaoche, you just can’t stop being irritating, huh!?”

After messing around for a little while more, Zhang Che said, “Right, I’ll write down the cultivation fluid recipe for you later. Level it up when you have the time. It’ll be three stars then, complementing your beastmaster tier!”

Huang Tielan smiled so brightly that her eyes narrowed into slits. She nodded and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to write it down. Let me study it for some time first; I want to see how many ingredients I’ll get right.”

Mmm, as expected of a studious girl. She was ready to start working on it immediately!

Miss Tienan didn’t have any classes in the afternoon. She stayed in the villa, carefully researching and formulating a recipe for the two-star dark gold-quality Mutated Puffersword, while Zhang Che studied Japanese on the lawn in the courtyard.

He discovered that ever since the golden vortex had appeared in his spiritual sea, his memory and comprehension ability had more than doubled.

Although he only studied for a few days, together with whatever knowledge of the language he had accumulated in his previous life, Zhang Che realized that he was progressing at rocket speed. He estimated that he could probably reach elementary proficiency in the language in a few more days, and would be able to engage in simple conversation in Japanese.

What a terrifying ability…

He felt that if he lived in a Japanese environment for a short time, he’d quickly get a good grasp on the language.

This speed was simply as if he had a cheat turned on!

After an afternoon of research, when Zhang Che wrote down the recipe for the Mutated Puffersword’s cultivation fluid, Huang Tielan discovered, to her dejection, that she only got two ingredients right, not to mention the method to use them was completely wrong.

From the looks of it, the road to becoming the number one beast card cultivator would be a long and tough one!

However, Miss Tienan wasn’t someone who admitted defeat easily. During the next few days, she bought a bunch of garbage-tier beast cards and had Zhang Che provide her with the recipes from his data eyes. Afterwards, she went on to research them as if her life depended on it.

Zhang Che wasn’t idling around, either. Since Miss Tienan had no time to keep him company, he spent his time studying Japanese, striving to raise his proficiency in Japanese to the next level.

——

Time quickly passed by while Zhang Che studied seriously. Five days went by before he realized it.

On that afternoon, Sun Lan finally returned to Bei Du City under the secret protection of Liu Gang and the others.

Sun Shaoying and her husband, Xi Hai, came back with her, too. They had never been away from Tian Xing City since the start of the new age, and they wanted to see the changes to the world. At Sun Lan’s invitation, they tagged along without any hesitation.

During those five days, the Miyazaki Clan didn’t try any further tricks against Sun Lan.

However, not only did Zhang Che not feel safe, he even grew warier.

With the Japanese’s damnable nature, they might be cooking up some big plans. If so, it would become much harder for Zhang Che to guard against them.

As such, he planned to set off for Japan tomorrow.

If it wasn’t for his great-aunt and great-uncle’s visit to Bei Du, Zhang Che would have departed today. Since there were guests visiting, him leaving just like that was very impolite, and he could only stay at home for another day, keeping his mother and relatives company and going touring around some places of historic interest in Bei Du.

The next morning, Zhang Che bade farewell to everyone and walked around in Bei Du’s city district, turning into Sun Che. Afterwards, he bought a sky shuttle ticket to Japan’s Rejing, set to fly off at 9 AM sharp to the far east. {TLN: Rejing is the Mercury’s equivalent of Tokyo.}

Rejing, Japan…

In a traditional-styled building hidden deep within the mountains and forests, two middle-aged men sat facing one another.

The two men were dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. The man facing west had a healthy complexion and a tall build. While extending his arms and pouring tea from the small side table, he said, “Musashi-kun, you’re aware of the reason why I called you back this time. I hope Musashi-kun can agree to this request of mine, for the sake of the clan’s honor.”

With a cold appearance and a reserved gaze, Miyazaki Musashi nodded expressionlessly and replied, “Please rest assured, Takehara-kun. This is exactly why I came back from the beast world.”

Miyazaki Takehara immediately smiled radiantly, “Great! With Musashi-kun taking action, this time that Chinese brat is dead for sure!”

“But, I need all the information on that brat,” Miyazaki Musashi said plainly, still not showing any expression. He continued, “Any beastmaster who could come out alive from the secret plane will not be simple. You should have reflected on that the first time your plan failed, and not continued taking action against his close ones. That would only arouse his vigilance and achieve nothing.”

Although Miyazaki Takehara didn’t agree with what he said, he showed a look that suggested he benefited from the advice. He nodded and said, “Right, Musashi-kun’s analysis is right on point. We realized our mistakes, and thus decided to ask Musashi-kun to take action in the end, aiming to end this problem once and for all.”

Miyazaki Musashi nodded slightly, “Give me three days. I’ll set off for Hua Xia three days from now.”

“Good, I’ll be waiting patiently for Musashi-kun’s good news then!” Miyazaki Takehara clapped his palms together. He raised his cup of tea and offered a toast to the other with a big smile.

However, unbeknownst to them, Zhang Che was already on a sky shuttle flight, about to step on the soil of Japan.

No one could predict what would happen next.

Even Zhang Che wouldn’t know how huge of a wave he would stir.

Everything was silently heading in an unknown direction…
