The kid who was saved by Feng Qian was now sitting by the serene Spiritual Spring Water Lake.
His small form was dwarfed by the grandeur of the cavernous walls adorned with shimmering crystals that refracted the gentle light, creating a mesmerizing play of colors.
The kid was named Tang Chen, a 15 years old kid and one of the top young prodigy in the entire Douluo Continent.
As a prodigy born in the Tang Clan, his clan raised him by providing so many resources for his growth as a Spirit Master.
However, due to envy, his older brother Tang Fei was actually hated Tang Chen to the bone.
Unfortunately, Tang Chen wasn't aware of it and never thought that his brother would think like that of him.
It wasn't until today, where they went together to the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts for Tang Chen's 3rd Spirit Ring.
Just as they managed to hunt down the Spirit Beast that Tang Chen needed to absorb as his 3rd Spirit Ring, their Clan guards were suddenly killed by a group of assassins.
At that time, Tang Fei started laughing maniacally and threatening to kill Tang Chen right away.
Shocked and heartbroken, Tang Chen who was absorbing his 3rd Spirit Ring was confused by his brother's sudden hostile attitude. Tang Fei immediately ordered that group of assassins to kill Tang Chen on the spot.
Fearfully torn between family loyalty and the terror of his brother's wrath, Tang Chen's fragile world shattered when he realized that his brother was actually the one called upon these group of assassins.
Fortunately, during the last second, Tang Chen managed to absorb the 3rd Spirit Ring in time and immediately tried his best to quickly run away from them.
Miraculously, Tang Chen managed to get rid of a few assassins and escaped from them with many injuries on his body.
As he ran through the dense forest, Tang Chen, driven by desperation, found a small hollow cave, seeking shelter from the pursuit of his brother and the group of assassins.
Sitting by the shimmering waters, Tang Chen's mind replayed the harrowing incident. His heart ached with the betrayal of a beloved brother, the bitter words that lingered in the air, and the fear of being cast aside from the only family he knew.
However, there was something that really bothered Tang Chen as he woke up earlier. He found that all his wounds were gone, and he also felt refreshed as if all the pain he felt before had never existed.
Roar!!~~
"!!"
Tang Chen suddenly realized that the last thing he saw before he fainted was actually after he saw a Spirit Beast approaching him.
Tang Chen then turned around and was stunned to see two large, majestic-looking Spirit Beasts standing behind him without him realizing.
A Flame-Winged White Tiger and a Poisonous Deer.
Scared, Tang Chen didn't dare to do anything stupid while being observed by the two massive Spirit Beasts standing in front of him.
After some time passed, nothing happened to Tang Chen as the two Spirit Beasts left him alone as they lost interest.
"Hmmm?!" Tang Chen's mind was confused by the scene that had just happened. He really thought that he would die at that moment.
"Could Spirit Beasts be friendly?" Tang Chen's mind was filled with many questions, even the sadness he felt earlier disappeared for a moment.
After long and careful thought, Tang Chen firmed his heart as if he had decided on something important in his life.
"I will stay here to train for a few years and I will make sure to repay my life debt to the two Spirit Beasts living here, even if they want to eat me I will not refute!! I swear on my name, Tang Chen!" Said Tang Chen firmly.
