Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"I think something's off, Mot Kira. This kid might have a significant background," the woman in red said coldly.

"Background? Haha, no matter how powerful the people behind him are, he himself is just a second tier spirit warrior. Once we leave the Dark Market, we can find an opportunity to kill him. At that time, everything he has will be ours," Mot Kira said with a cold smile.

"Exactly. Since he's heading to the third floor, it means the items he buys will be very valuable. Killing an inexperienced rookie like him will only add to our wealth," Hilda Kana said, her voice laced with viciousness.

Meanwhile, Blaze Regret had no idea what the two were plotting. He had already reached the fifth floor. Aside from him, there was no one else here, just rows of display cases standing quietly.

"How am I supposed to trade for these items?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.

"Do you see the small slot in front of the counter? Insert your token there," instructed Master Magi, looking very experienced.

Approaching one of the counters, Blaze Regret carefully inserted his token. Suddenly, thirty golden stars appeared on the crystal counter, and after a brief flicker, two of them turned green.

"This should mean that your token contains three hundred thousand gold coins, and this item is worth twenty thousand. The corresponding amount will be automatically deducted after you make the purchase," Master Magi explained in a deep voice.

Three hundred thousand...

Hearing this number, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned. Even with the Blaze family's financial resources, they couldn't come up with such a large sum of gold coins all at once.

At that moment, he suddenly felt as if he were being sponsored by someone.

After wandering around the fifth floor for a while, Blaze Regret couldn't help but marvel at the vast collection of treasures in the Black Horn Tower, though he felt slightly disappointed.

Most of the items for sale on the fifth floor were pills and spirit crystals, with a few spirit beasts encased in light spheres. However, these things were no longer scarce to him.

Just as he was about to step onto the final floor, Blaze Regret's gaze suddenly fixed on the left wall.

Hanging on that wall was a massive tortoise shell, about a roughly 3.3 meters wide, with a pale blue sheen that flickered intermittently, causing the surrounding space to alternately brighten and dim.

"This thing looks pretty sturdy."

Blaze Regret quickly walked over and gently touched the outer side of the tortoise shell. The cool touch was transmitted through his fingertips.

"Roar!"

Red claws emerged, burning with fierce Blue flames, and then fiercely slashed at the tortoise shell. However, not even the slightest mark was left.

"Don't waste your strength. It's not just your little Flame Cat; even Kartis Kai's Demon Thunder Steed wouldn't be able to break this shell."

Master Magi smiled faintly and said, "This item is the shell of a Black Spirit Turtle after its death, known as the Black Spirit Shell. It is incredibly hard. Judging by its sheen, this Black Spirit Turtle must have been a third rank high level lord before it died. Therefore, its shell can withstand a full force attack from a fifth rank high level lord grade spirit beast."

Seeing the fiery look in Blaze Regret's eyes, Master Magi couldn't help but laugh and then said, "Kid, don't get your hopes too high. If you were to use it, this shell could only withstand attacks from warrior level spirit beasts, far from its former capacity."

"So, it's unbreakable below the lord level?" Blaze Regret wasn't disappointed; his eyes remained as bright as ever.

"You could say that," Master Magi nodded slowly.

Taking out his token, Blaze Regret unhesitatingly slid it into the small gap below the Black Spirit Shell. With a click, the shell fell, hitting the ground with a loud thud.

The spirit masters on the lower floors of the Black Horn Tower were all stunned, looking upwards. However, none dared to scold, as anyone who could enter the fifth floor was a figure they couldn't afford to offend.

"What was that noise?" Mot Kira squinted in confusion, holding a necklace made of flame shell beads.

"Who knows? Forget about it. Just keep an eye on the entrance. We can't let that kid slip out without us noticing," Hilda Kana shook her head, continuing to carefully examine the items on the counter.

"Whoosh!"

Blaze Regret exhaled lightly and gripped the Black Spirit Shell, trying to lift it. Despite the sweat forming on his forehead, the shell didn't budge an inch.

"Foolish."

Master Magi smirked, "This Black Spirit Shell weighs at least four hundred pounds. There's no way you can lift it."

As he spoke, Master Magi pointed his finger, and golden light gathered at his fingertip. It then transformed into countless dazzling beams of light, scattering and surrounding the Black Spirit Shell, rotating rapidly.

With the light swirling around it, the Black Spirit Shell slowly rose, as light as a feather, and moved in front of Blaze Regret.

"Don't just stand there, quickly drop a bit of your blood on it," Master Magi reminded the slightly dazed Blaze Regret.

Snapping back to reality, Blaze Regret pressed the Red Flame's claw against his fingertip, making a small cut. Immediately, a drop of fresh blood oozed out and fell onto the tortoise shell.

"Buzz!"

Upon absorbing Blaze Regret's blood, the Black Spirit Shell vibrated and then began to spin rapidly around him, forming vivid blue afterimages that seemed almost tangible.

"I have completely erased the Black Spirit Turtle's aura. From now on, this shell can only be controlled by you," Master Magi said calmly, though a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

It was clear that erasing the original aura of the spirit beast was a very exhausting task. Even someone as powerful as Master Magi struggled with it, let alone other spirit masters.

Otherwise, the price of this Black Spirit Shell would be even higher.
