Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Li Cunxu planned to transplant the Golden Tree to Benma Island. Although the Golden Tree's shimmering gold appearance was a bit tacky, it could indeed grow gold.

It could grow golden fruits and golden leaves.

Upon arriving at Golden City, Li Cunxu was stopped by two golden guards clad in gold from head to toe.

"Esteemed Beastmaster, riding is not allowed in the city. Please dismount."

Then, the golden guard summoned a self-driving car to take Li Cunxu to his accommodation.

A super luxurious single room.

It had a private cinema, a swimming pool, a battle room that could withstand a Gold-level battle, and a training room with the same security level as the battle room.

Every participant received such treatment.

"The organizers of this Golden Competition are really not short of money."

The Golden Competition was still three days away. During these three days, participants would gradually enter the Golden Secret Realm.

Li Cunxu stayed in his room for these three days, practicing the Instant Step technique.

The so-called Instant Step was actually a mental power sprint.

Mental power was attached to the legs, instantly exploding with extremely fast speed, allowing the Beastmaster to evade the opponent's attacks.

Ding Dong~

His phone vibrated with a message.

It was from his grandfather.

A package had arrived at the entrance of Li Cunxu's villa at school, asking Li Cunxu to pick it up.

Li Cunxu grasped the Golden Key and silently chanted 'Return.' His figure reappeared at the villa. Opening the package, he felt a mix of emotions.

Azure-colored, warm fabric, gorgeous and noble golden cloud patterns—this was a Gold-level defensive gear, Azure Cloud Garment, woven from Qingjin silkworm silk, a top-grade item among Gold-level defensive gear.

Gold-level defensive gear could carry four defensive skills.

The four defensive skills of the Azure Cloud Garment were Azure Cloud Shroud, Azure Cloud Shroud, Azure Cloud Shroud, Azure Cloud Shroud.

All four skills were Azure Cloud Shroud.

Azure Cloud Shroud was Qingjin silkworm's signature defensive skill. Ordinary Gold-level attacks were difficult to break through the Azure Cloud Shroud. This Azure Cloud Garment had four layers of it. The superposition of four Azure Cloud Shrouds would require even a Low-level Lord-level pet to put in some effort to break through.

With this Azure Cloud Garment, Li Cunxu no longer had to worry about his safety in the competition.

"Top-grade defensive gear, my only weakness is now filled."

"Grandpa, really, he's already in such danger at the front lines, yet he still spares the time to get me a defensive gear."

Li Cunxu felt a little ashamed. It was one thing that he couldn't help his grandfather, but he was also causing him trouble and distracting him.

Li Cunxu had foreseen this situation when he told his grandfather that he had signed up for the Golden Competition. In fact, he really didn't want to tell him.

But he couldn't not tell him. Even if Li Cunxu didn't win the championship in the Golden Competition, he would still have outstanding performance. This performance would attract the killing intent of Li Shiji's enemies.

Li Shiji's enemies could tolerate a genius Li Cunxu, but they could not tolerate an overly genius Li Cunxu.

In their eyes, an overly genius Li Cunxu was not Li Cunxu, but a Little Li Shiji.

One Li Shiji was already giving them so much headache. If another Second Generation Li Shiji (Li Cunxu) appeared, they would go crazy.

To prevent them from going crazy, Li Cunxu had to let Li Shiji know the situation so that he could be prepared.

Li Cunxu had a premonition that if he won the championship in the Golden Competition, Li Shiji's enemies would most likely dispatch a King-level assassin to eliminate this Little Li Shiji.

"What eventful times!"

A flamboyant golden dragon landed in the center of the plaza, its majestic aura overturning the surrounding people.

A person stood on top of the golden dragon's head.

The imposing golden dragon was completely out of sync with the temperament of the person on its head.

That person had a potbelly, wore gold rings symbolizing wealth on all his fingers, and had a thick gold chain that could tether a dog around his neck. He grinned, revealing large gold teeth inlaid on his teeth, looking every bit like a nouveau riche.

Li Cunxu did not underestimate him because of his appearance.

He was no ordinary person; he was the famous Golden King.

Among the players in his previous life, this Golden King had extremely high popularity.

Working for the Golden King could earn very generous rewards. As long as it was a task issued by the Golden King, players would scramble to do it.

Even, in order to grab an important task from the Golden King, the top ten super guilds launched a super melee.

The Golden King was not only rich and generous, but he also had extraordinary wisdom that surpassed his appearance.

The Golden King schemed against a Blood God's Divine Son, causing the Blood God's Divine Son to be tragically sealed. While scheming, he also gained a lot of benefits. After this incident, the Golden King quickly broke through from King to Venerable King, becoming the Gold King.

The Golden King stood on the golden dragon's head and looked at everyone with satisfaction.

"This year's young people are excellent!"

"Enough with the pleasantries, let's get straight to the point."

The Golden King clapped his hands, and a golden tower rose from the ground.

"Everyone knows the rules of the previous Golden Competitions. Before the Golden Competition, there is a Golden Trial. Only 256 people who pass the Golden Trial can participate in the tense championship contest."

"And the treasure · Illusion Gold Tower behind me is where you will conduct the Golden Trial."

"The Illusion Gold Tower has a total of seven floors, which means you need to pass seven levels."

"Those who pass all seven floors will definitely be able to participate in the Golden Competition."

"Those who do not pass all seven floors do not need to worry too much. The more levels you pass, the greater the chance of being selected as a participant."

Someone raised his hand and asked, "What if the number of people who pass all seven floors exceeds 256?"

The Golden King was interrupted, but he was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't exceed. Those who can pass all seven floors are good seedlings who can win the championship. This year, there can't be 256 good seedlings who can win the championship."

"Everyone, work hard! To encourage you, I have also left a small gift behind each level. As long as you pass, you can get it."

"Alright, enough small talk, everyone, go through the levels enthusiastically."

Everyone swarmed into the Illusion Gold Tower. Within five meters of entering the Illusion Gold Tower, people disappeared as if they were sucked into the tower. At the same time, the mechanical sky eyes inside the Illusion Gold Tower began to broadcast the trial scenes of the participants.

Before long, someone was kicked out of the Illusion Gold Tower.

Li Cunxu did not squeeze in. The trial would last a day and a night, and there was plenty of time.

Besides Li Cunxu, there were also some favorites to win the championship who did not squeeze in.

Approaching the Illusion Gold Tower, Li Cunxu's eyes went white. When the white light dissipated, Li Cunxu had already entered the interior of the Illusion Gold Tower.

The surroundings were bare, with only a river.

Li Cunxu felt that this river was a bit strange. The river was wide and deep, and the water flow was very slow, like a turtle's pace.

There was a sign by the river.

Li Cunxu ran over to take a look. The sign read [Level · Sinking Water River].

[Sinking Water River, whoever enters the Sinking Water River will sink to the bottom of the river.]
