In another couple hours, Chen Huan and the Great Aura Tiger finished their trials. "Hahaha!" Jong's partner laughed, "that was awesome! And there's at least 6 more layers of trials even harder, huh?!"
Chen Huan went over to us along with them, looking a lot more thoughtful, though still with the smile that he almost never dropped. "Who could have made this place? To be able to give me, a Sacred Beast, this much of a challenge—and this is just the second level?"
"Must be another Zodiac Champion, surely," said Jong, "one who made it to the 8th Heaven."
"I guess…"
"So," I said, "what did you win? And can I finally be introduced to your Sacred Beast, Jong?"
"Ha!" It was the Great Aura Tiger who spoke. "Well, I suppose I can give my name to someone able to give my Champion a good fight. Yuansu Suzhen I am called."
