"And the first place in this competition..."

Lanny continued, "Will have the right to challenge the three inheritors—"

"This seems to be the only way to contact them."

Competition?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing was taken aback, his gaze involuntarily falling on Lanny beside him.

At present, the only temporary Guardian Beast he had was her.

Even though he could forcibly enhance Lanny's strength using the dual talents of "Sovereign" and "Soul Devouring", yet...

Her talent was a hurdle that was hard to overcome.

[Angel (Lanny)]

[Status: Four-winged Angel]

[Level: Commander Tier One]

[Talent: Epic Nine Stars]

[Power: 7000]

[Constitution: 6000]

[Spirit: 5000]

[Speed: 6000]

[Skills: Holy Sword, Guardian, Angel Domain]

Looking at Lanny's attributes, the corner of Gu Xing's mouth twitched incessantly.

Lanny's previous attributes were even lower.

It was after his enhancement that Lanny reached Epic Nine Stars in talent.

Additionally, her level had thus broken through to Commander Tier One.

However...

Yet even so, Lanny's current attributes were still only a few thousand points.

Even if he were to use the dual talents of "Sovereign" and "Soul Devouring" to forcefully elevate her strength again,

with her current control, it would be difficult to harness such a sudden surge of power.

Moreover, Lanny's skills...

Compared to the Guardian Beasts like Liu Li and Vera, it was even harder to describe.

Therefore, even if Lanny's attributes were enhanced to Half-step Totem Level, yet...

The actual combat power she could exert might still be hard to estimate...

Perhaps it would be quite difficult to even maintain stability at Monarch Level.

And according to Lanny, the participants in this Angel Race competition were at least Monarch Level.

If that's the case...

Winning the first place in this competition seems to be somewhat troublesome!

Noticing that Gu Xing's gaze was always on her, Lanny felt a bit uncomfortable, turned around, and asked softly:

"Gu... Gu Xing master, why are you staring at me all the time?"

"Lanny," Gu Xing's expression was serious, "we have to participate in this competition, but I am thinking about how to achieve first place."

"You could enter the competition yourself!" Lanny hurriedly said, "With your strength, there's definitely no problem!"

Throughout the journey, she had already witnessed Gu Xing in action—even a Monarch Level demon couldn't withstand more than a few moves under him.

However, Gu Xing shook his head slowly.

"I can't enter the competition."

"Firstly, I am a Beast Master, and my strongest state can only be achieved by relying on a Guardian Beast;"

"Secondly, angels surround this place. If I act personally, it will easily expose my human identity."

"So..."

His gaze once again fell upon Lanny.

Lanny's body became stiff instantly, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Gu, Gu Xing master... you don't mean to..."

"Lanny, my current only Guardian Beast is you."

Gu Xing's voice was calm but unyielding, "Only you can enter this competition."

"No! No way!"

Lanny frantically waved her hands, almost jumping up, "Gu Xing master, it really won't work! I'm only Commander Level, not even qualified to compete..."

However—

Gu Xing did not give her the chance to refuse.

The competition was starting in two days, and they had to race against time to enhance Lanny's combat power—

Both level and talent needed to break through quickly to have a chance at securing first place in this competition full of strong contenders.

He said nothing more, pulling Lanny along as he hurried out of the Holy City.

Along the way, he found a shop in the city and sold several treasured items from the Beast Taming Space, exchanging them for a large amount of Local Currency.

Under the lure of money, the shop owner smiled broadly and repeatedly promised to gather the required materials for him.

Meanwhile, Gu Xing had already taken Lanny to a place outside the Holy City, where Demonic Qi pervaded.

Although the surroundings of the Holy City were part of the Angel Race's core domain, this world had long been infiltrated by Demonic Qi, leading to random formation of various Demonic Qi gathering points.

Where Demonic Qi gathered, demons were born—

And where there were demons, Lanny could gain power!

...

The two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the Angel Race competition finally arrived.

The entire Holy City was shrouded in a majestic and fervent atmosphere, countless angels congregated in the city center,

looking up at the majestic Twelve-winged Angel statue—

That was the Angel God, the only one in history to reach the twelve-winged realm.

Under the statue, all the angels bowed slightly, offering their sincere respect.

In the crowd, Gu Xing and Lanny, dressed in black cloaks, also imitated the gesture, quietly blending in among the people.

Lanny was somewhat dazed.

In these two days, her understanding had been completely overturned—

She never imagined that strength could increase so rapidly.

At this moment, six pure wings unfurled behind her, emitting a faint glow.

The surrounding angels looked at her with undisguised respect in their eyes.

In this world, the number of wings represented status and power; a Six-winged Angel was already considered an elite of the tribe.

While Lanny was lost in thought, the booming voice of the adjudicator reverberated over the Holy City:

"Today marks the most important moment for our Angel Race—"

"We have finally welcomed the third inheritor!"

"According to the divine decree of the Angel God, the inheritor trial will commence at this moment."

"But before that, the three inheritors must endure the challenge from the strongest of the race."

"Therefore, from this moment, the Angel Race's pinnacle competition—officially begins!"

"The one who wins first place will earn the qualification to challenge the three inheritors."

"If the challenge is successful, you shall become..."

"The new inheritor."

These five words dropped like a spark onto a wasteland, instantly igniting the whole place!

In this race where wings are born, and destiny is predetermined, this competition is the only opportunity for countless angels to defy fate.

As long as they defeat an inheritor, their fate will be completely rewritten!

At this moment, all the ambitious angels had flames of intensity ignited in their eyes.

"If we can win first place in this competition, then we have a chance to defy fate."

"Although we are not opponents for the other two inheritors, this newly emerged Liu Li...."

"At just Monarch Tier One, even if she has ten wings, we can definitely defeat her easily!"

"That's right, this time our target is this newly emerged Ten-winged Angel!"

Voices like this kept emerging from the crowd.

But Gu Xing frowned slightly.

Liu Li's level was at Monarch Tier One, although she could exert Half-step Totem Level strength without the Soul Devouring Talent's support.

But...

Amidst these angels.

There were indeed Half-step Totem Level existences.

Even...

Gu Xing also noticed a few Totem Level beings eager to act.

If those Totem Level angels decided to act....

That would be troublesome!

Just as Gu Xing was contemplating....

A very familiar figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
