Chapter 178: Permanent Spatial Rift

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Akil patted the falcon on its head. “Fly higher.”

For some unknown reason, he felt a premonition of danger within his heart.

The falcon flapped its wings to fly higher. Suddenly the sound of hooves below them became more rapid and drew closer to them.

Not good!

Akil’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Reflected in his eyes was a black figure breaking out of the dark fog, leaping out like a burst of lightning, becoming larger and larger rapidly in front of his eyes.

Roar!!! The creature’s thunderous cry sounded like it came from a devil from the depths of hell.

The image of a black blade cut through everything.

“No!”

In the air, both human and falcon were cut in two, right down the middle. Innards and blood splattered down like rain.

Pata.

The body of a dark figure landed firmly on the ground, making a dull thud as it landed.

Its body was slim and toned. It had a human torso, but its lower body was shaped like a horse’s, just like the centaurs of Western mythology. But its head was different from a human’s. Its head was strangely streamlined, and from the side, it looked almost like the head of a donkey.

A layer of thin black fog surrounded its entire body. Under the black fog, its body looked illusory, fading in and out of view. Through the black fog, a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen shining. In its left hand, pointing downwards, was a three-meter-long sword with saw teeth down its edges. The monster was holding the sword diagonally downwards and dragging it across the ground.

The monster stood right next to the fog, and its body and face began to fade out of view again. The black fog behind it wrapped around it, swallowing it up whole.

From the black fog came the sound of chains, and the sound of a blade being dragged across the ground...

On the television, an international news story was playing. Lusaka had experienced a high energy reaction. A new active spatial rift had appeared there, and Lusaka warmly welcomed Monster Trainers from all across the world to head over to the city.

“Grandpa, shouldn’t the appearance of a spatial rift be treated as something very serious? Why does it feel as though it’s something very good...” Gao Peng blinked. He did not really understand the situation.

Ji Hanwu casually replied, “The are many spatial rifts across the world, but there are also many different types of spatial rifts.”

“Among the many differences, the major difference is whether the spatial rift is temporary or permanent. You can probably figure out what each type is just by hearing the name. Temporary spatial rifts only appeared during the early periods of the Cataclysm, and none of them have shown up within the last two years.” Ji Hanwu shook his head. “But there haven’t been many permanent spatial rifts, either. Up until now, only three have been discovered, and that includes the current one.”

So that was the long way of saying that permanent spatial rifts were very rare.

“Spatial rifts all have their limitations, like the fact that creatures that are too powerful are unable to pass through. If you imagine worlds as rooms, then a spatial rift is like a small hole that connects two rooms.”

“A small hole? Why is it not a door?” Gao Peng was surprised.

“A door is too predictable. If a door was made for the creatures in the room, then they would be able to pass through it without any trouble. All creatures should be able to pass through. But a spatial rift, on the other hand, has limitations. Creatures that are too strong are unable to pass through, and only little bugs are able to squeeze into the hole.”

“Of course, spatial rifts can still be dangerous, but what part of the world isn’t dangerous these days?” Ji Hanwu shook his head again. “Spatial rifts mean new familiars, and more importantly, new familiars from other worlds. New things are always popular. You should understand this; this logic is the same no matter where you go.” Ji Hanwu seemed rather emotional when he mentioned this last point.

...

Gao Peng had already been back in Baiye District for a week. It was already the time for Southern Sky Group’s Baiye District Branch’s personnel recruitment.

Today, early in the morning, Gao Peng had arrived at the office building. The plaza outside was filled with people, and the office was extremely crowded. The number of people loitering outside the recruitment hall the other day paled in comparison to this.

Why are there so many people? Gao Peng was shocked.

Even though Wang Liang had told him that there would be quite a number of people, Gao Peng still did not expect there to be so many.

“Head Gao, you’ve arrived.” Wang Liang, who was idly chatting with others, saw Gao Peng’s figure and hurriedly left the others, jogging over.

Wang Liang’s face was practically overflowing with a bright smile. Gao Peng wondered, Is there a need to be this happy?

“Who is that? That kid looks so young,” said an old man in a blue shirt to the person next to him. He pursed his lips after he spoke.

“Don’t know. Must be some important person, I guess,” answered a short-haired old man next to him with a sigh. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Wang Liang was in charge of recruitment, so for these potential applicants, he was an important figure who they needed to impress. But now, this important figure was speaking so respectfully to this young man, who was even younger than their own children.

Such a strong contrast with their expectations left them feeling thoroughly conflicted. Gao Peng knew none of this, but he could feel a bit of it from the looks that the people standing around gave him.

The recruitment process began very quickly. Applicants joined the queue after obtaining a queue number and were interviewed one by one. With the help of a seasoned veteran like Wang Liang, after half the day went by, Gao Peng pretty much had a clear understanding of the process.

The recruitment process would last a total of three days. After observing for a few hours, Gao Peng had some understanding of how things worked. It was interesting at first, but after a while, things started to get rather dry.

He had thought that he would get to see some talents, but after listening at the side for a while, Gao Peng was disappointed. After some thought, it was understandable why things were like this.

After informing the rest that he was going to be absent for a while, Gao Peng left the recruitment grounds.

This work was just a job, just like his job as a Monster Breeder. Raising his familiars, and thereby making Da Zi and the rest as strong as possible, was Gao Peng’s main goal.

Gao Peng would not forget the things that were most important to him.

When he arrived at the training grounds, there was already a small figure working hard.

“You’re here rather early,” said Gao Peng with a smile. After speaking, he opened the safe at the side of the training grounds and pulled out a giant purple basket. Inside were tons of white flying discs.

Li Junzong pouted his lips slightly and smiled back at Gao Peng, his forehead dripping with sweat.

Gao Peng casually took out a flying disk, and with a flick of his wrist, sent it spinning out into the air in a lazy arc.

Standing behind Gao Peng, Flamy was conditioned to react. It opened its beak and spat out a ball of flame. Then, without any pause, another ball of flame was spat out. Two continuous fireballs!

The two fireballs struck the flying disc one after another. The first one hit the disc, then exploded, scattering red-hot flames across the sky. Just as the disc was about to change direction, the second fireball had already arrived at the target.

The flying disc was sent flying like a baseball struck by a bat. It collided heavily with the wall and fell to the ground, bent and misshapen.

Flamy’s flames had grown significantly more powerful since the previous week. But what made Gao Peng glad was that the results of his training were evident. Right now, firing two continuous fireballs was easy for Flamy.

The sky was dark by the time Gao Peng ended their training session. It was worth noting that training a fire-type familiar in the summer was a form of torture...

Fire-type familiars naturally had high body temperatures, and training their fire-type abilities often involved spitting fireballs. Even if they only trained their fire abilities for a little while, it was still really hot!

Gao Peng’s shirt was drenched in sweat and sticking to his body, and strands of hair were plastered on his forehead.
