After Wu Yingxiong and Chu Chen reached an agreement, he immediately handed over the inventory of the auction house's treasure vault to him and informed him that he could take whatever he wished.

Chu Chen, naturally, was not polite about it, first taking four sets of Beast Taming Armor, and then choosing dozens of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, including several Star-Raising Fruits of the Third and Fourth Grade.

When asked what else he needed, Chu Chen made only one request, and that was for Star-Raising Fruits, the higher the quality, the better.

Star-Raising Fruits are the perfect choice for rapidly elevating the realm of a guardian beast.

Wu Yingxiong's face didn't look good at these words, as Star-Raising Fruits are quite rare. Most Beast Masters who acquire them keep them for their own use, and few would sell them.

However, since this was Chu Chen's first request, despite the difficulty, he had to try his best to meet it. This was an opportunity to showcase the Wu family's strength; failing to meet the request would render the so-called support a mere joke.

"I'll prepare it right away and deliver it to you tomorrow." With that, Wu Yingxiong hurriedly left.

The next day, Chu Chen went to Long Batian's office at the agreed time.

"You're a lucky one; the old principal went all out this time." With those words, Long Batian handed over a Spatial Ring.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly took the Spatial Ring.

Without any hesitation, Chu Chen checked the items within the Spatial Ring; there were not many items, just a Beast Taming Egg and an exquisite wooden box.

Chu Chen took out both items and began to examine them.

Opening the wooden box gently, he found two fist-sized fruits inside.

The fragrance was rich, with snow-white skin, appearing crystal clear, containing incredibly dense Star Power within.

Seeing this, Long Batian smiled and said, "These are two Fourth Grade Star-Raising Fruits."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately showed joy; these Star-Raising Fruits arrived right on time.

After keeping the Star-Raising Fruits safe, Chu Chen began to examine the Beast Taming Egg.

It was entirely dark green with flame-like patterns, about the size of a football. However, this Beast Taming Egg showed no signs of life, seemingly a dead egg.

Chu Chen quickly called out the Slaughter Atlas to check the information on the Beast Taming Egg.

Star Beast Name: Toxic Burst Rat Mother (Sealed)

Life Level: Fetal Stage

Star Beast Quality: Epic Level, Upper Grade

Looking at the information on the Toxic Burst Rat Mother, Chu Chen couldn't help but furrow his brow. This Beast Taming Egg was sealed, perhaps the handiwork of the old principal. But why would such a mediocre Beast Taming Egg be sealed?

Chu Chen did not delve into it, as he had no interest in this Beast Taming Egg. Though he wasn't picky about the appearance of guardian beasts, rodent beasts were generally functional and weak in practical combat, and he wasn't in a rush to bond with a guardian beast.

With the growth speed of Lei Yao and Nirvana, he had no regard for ordinary guardian beasts.

Long Batian saw this and assumed Chu Chen couldn't recognize the origins of this Beast Taming Egg. He laughed and explained, "This is the Beast Taming Egg of the Toxic Burst Rat Mother, with quality... Do you think it's very ordinary?"

Chu Chen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Long Batian laughed, pointing to the Beast Taming Egg with a smile, "I spent quite a bit of effort to get this Beast Taming Egg from the old principal. I remember it came from a Fifth-Level Secret Realm where the ruler was the Toxic Burst Rat Mother. Among the talents who entered the realm, eight out of ten fell, fighting to their deaths to seize the Key, with hundreds of Soul Masters needed to finally defeat the Toxic Burst Rat Mother."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen was shocked. The ruler of a Fifth-Level Secret Realm was at least a Monarch-level Peak existence, and the talents participating in the exploration had extremely strong abilities. For them to almost face annihilation to barely claim the Key, he couldn't understand how the Toxic Burst Rat Mother managed to accomplish this.

At this moment, Long Batian continued to explain, "The Toxic Burst Rat Mother is so formidable not because of its combat power but because of the swarm of rats. Its reproduction ability is truly terrifying. With enough food, it can continuously reproduce, and the rats grow swiftly. With ample food, in just a few days, you can have a rat army."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen was once again shocked. This Toxic Burst Rat Mother seemed incredibly compatible with himself, combining the undead army with the rat swarm was a strong alliance. Also, the food requirements of the rat swarm didn't compete with those of Lei Yao and Nirvana.

Lei Yao required blood, Nirvana needed souls, but the rat swarm thrived on meat. This practically maximized the value of a Star Beast.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen's heart was moved. However, the Beast Taming Egg was still sealed, so he could only seek help from Long Batian.

"Teacher, I observe that this Beast Taming Egg has no life signs. Could it be a dead egg?" Chu Chen feigned ignorance and asked.

"This Beast Taming Egg is very precious. Until a suitable candidate is found, it can only be sealed. Otherwise, a considerable price must be paid to maintain its vitality," Long Batian said, sending a strong pulse of Soul Power into the Beast Taming Egg.

As the Soul Power gradually infused the Beast Taming Egg, which originally showed no signs of life, it miraculously 'came to life,' with rich vitality emanating from within.

At this moment, the Beast Taming Egg began to shake violently, and then a fiery-red claw pierced the eggshell.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked in confusion, "Teacher, what's happening here?"

Long Batian smiled and explained, "There's nothing strange about it. This Beast Taming Egg has been sealed for over ten years, and it has long completed its hatching. Now that the seal is lifted, it naturally wants to break out."

During their conversation, the Toxic Burst Rat Mother had completely crawled out of the eggshell.

The little one showed no signs of affection upon seeing Chu Chen and Long Batian. Instead, it turned and feasted on the eggshell.

Chu Chen smiled wryly at this, but his gaze remained fixed on the creature.

The shoulder height of the Toxic Burst Rat Mother was about ten centimeters, and its body length was twenty centimeters, with dark green fur, but its eyes, teeth, claws, and tail were fiery red.

Without hesitation, Chu Chen immediately began forming a contract.

Although the Toxic Burst Rat Mother did not show any familiarity with Chu Chen, it did not resist during the contract formation.

Thus, Chu Chen gained his sixth guardian beast.

He immediately called out the Slaughter Atlas to check the detailed information of the Toxic Burst Rat Mother.
