[Suitable owners… Hmmmm…] Yu Zi Yu became lost in thought. As far as he was concerned, finding an owner for the Elemental Fruits on him was not difficult. However, finding a suitable owner was somewhat challenging.
In a rare moment of contemplation, Yu Zi Yu began organizing the information of his subordinates.
Although he had many powerful creatures under him, there were very few he remembered.
This was inevitable. As someone who had transcended the world’s cognizance, whose very Hierarchy of Life had fundamentally changed, there were beings who were not even qualified to catch his eye.
It was not that Yu Zi Yu was intentionally arrogant; his power had transformed his spirit to such an extent that a mere glance from him could obliterate low-level beings due to the inherent pressure.
Especially when he was in his complete form as Azure Dragon, even fearsome Transcendents of Tier-4 dared not look at him directly.
Thus, it was understandable why Yu Zi Yu seldom stayed in the depths of Misty Mountains for long.
It was not that he did not want to, rather he was just worried that an unintentional release of any kind of pressure might harm his subordinates.
*Hooooo…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu, who had quickly sorted out the list of his powerful subordinates, focused his gaze on the ground.
Moments later, the lunar soil slowly shifted before two names emerged on the surface.
Leng Feng and Dark Tiger.
Leng Feng, even as a Human, was highly respected by the Mutant Beasts, simply because he and his Little Sister excelled at taking care of young beasts. Whenever a young beast was sick or injured, they would seek them out first.
More importantly, the younger generation that had recently risen in Misty Mountains—such as Slytherin, Auris, and Lupin—were all close to Leng Feng.
It could be said that Leng Feng was indispensable to Misty Mountains.
Besides, he possessed a Dark Elemental Innate Talent, which allowed him to control shadows and fight in the night. Among Humans, he was undoubtedly considered a genius.
[Leng Feng is well-suited for the Dark Elemental Fruit. Besides, he has contributed so much to Misty Mountains; he deserves a reward] Thinking to himself, Yu Zi Yu then looked at the other one, Dark Tiger.
Dark Tiger was the next strongest member of the Tiger Clan after White Tiger, also known as the Shadow Tiger, and a well-known genius among the Mutant Beasts with astonishing combat talent. Although he was still at the peak of Tier-3, when he brought out his abilities to their best, he could contend with over ten opponents of the same tier.
It could be said that if Shadow Tiger consumed the Dark Elemental Fruit, Misty Mountains would gain another formidable force.
[Both of them are qualified to consume the Dark Elemental Fruit.] Caught in a dilemma, a wry smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s lips. Whether it was sentimental and logical, he was finding it difficult to decide.
More importantly, a Supreme Treasure like the Dark Elemental Fruit was akin to a quota to the Natural Disaster-Class. Giving it to one would inevitably cause some resentment in the other. That was not something a qualified ‘King’ should do.
“Let them decide for themselves.” Yu Zi Yu chuckled in his mind, ultimately deciding not to dwell on this.
Next, he turned his gaze to the Light Elemental Fruit.
The Light Elemental Fruit was arguably the most terrifying fruit. Not only did it possess astonishing destructive power, but it also offered speed comparable to ‘light.’
Moreover, that was not even the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that the Light Elemental Fruit also granted healing capabilities. In other words, this Light Elemental Fruit was equivalent to an all-purpose fruit. And as one developed it further, its horrors would continue to reveal themselves.
*Hehe…* Grinning, a hint of anticipation flashed on Yu Zi Yu’s face.
He was curious to see who would obtain this Light Elemental Fruit. After all, a terrifying Elemental Fruit like this would grant a formidable strength to anyone.
[Let’s see, how should I use this fruit to spice things up a little?]
After pondering on this, Yu Zi Yu turned and instructed Osmanthus, “Tell Nine Tails to organize an audition for the young talents of Misty Mountains in three months. Anyone below Tier-4 can participate, and the first prize is a Light Elemental Fruit, while the second prize is a personal blessing from me.”
Pausing briefly, Yu Zi Yu added with a playful smile:
“Remember to describe the Light Elemental Fruit’s terrifying power clearly, and try to attract as many geniuses as possible. Also, I too will be descending to witness the prodigies of Misty Mountains.” Yu Zi Yu’s instructions had rendered Osmanthus momentarily stunned.
However, once realization dawned upon her, she gulped nervously and confirmed, “Master, are you sure?”
“Of course.” Giving his confirmation, a broad smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face as he added, “I want to organize a huge event, and this is just the trial run. If all goes well, we can expand it to other continents, and in the future, use this method to select talents.”
“Yes, Master.” Osmanthus responded, suppressing her inner shock.
She could not help but admit that her Master’s grand plan had truly amazed her. Not to mention anything else, just the first prize alone was incredibly generous — an Elemental Fruit, a Supreme Treasure of incredible rarity.
Besides, it was not just any Elemental Fruit, but a Light Elemental Fruit. It was practically a ticket to the Natural Disaster-Class.
More importantly, things did not end here. Once one became a Light Elemental, even the poorest luck and talent, they would possess strength enough to reach the peak of Natural Disaster-Class. With the right opportunities, they might even reach higher tiers.
This kind of Elemental Fruit was enough to tempt not just those below Tier-4, but even someone like her, a Tier-4 Transcendent.
*Hooooo…* Osmanthus barely suppressed her excitement. She very well knew that a true storm was about to sweep through the entire Misty Mountains, not just Misty Mountains, it might even draw entities from other continents. By then, the number of powerful beings joining Misty Mountains could increase exponentially, and this was likely her Master’s true aim.
After all, the temptation to become a Natural Disaster was not something most could resist.
With this thought, Osmanthus, ignoring whether it was night or daytime, circulated her Spiritual Energy, surging with a shockwave, as a pillar of moonlight shot towards the beautiful blue planet amidst the setting Sun.
