The insect's unyieldingness, brutality, loyalty, and willingness to die made Su Ming know that he could not make this insect his, unless he was willing to spend a large amount of time, years or even longer, to trap this creature without using Han Mountain Bell and destroy its consciousness so that it could become his pet.
However, Su Ming could not afford to spend that amount of time, and neither could he afford to spend that amount of effort.
However, Su Ming was slightly reluctant to kill it just like that. The insect's speed and penetrative power had left a deep impression on him. If he could make it his own and catch his opponent off guard, then it could become one of his incredibly powerful attacks.
That was why since he was reluctant and could not absorb it slowly over a long period of time, there was only one last method left before Su Ming. He had to forcefully leave his Brand in the insect's mind. Even if he had to destroy its intelligence, once he left his Brand on it, then he would immediately be able to use the insect.
Even if this would cause the insect to betray him, it was still better than dying or being unable to use the insect.
However, Su Ming had only used this Branding Art on someone's mind once before, and that was on He Feng. He Feng was the one who had taught him this Art. Theoretically speaking, he should be able to Brand the insect.
In truth, Su Ming did not have much confidence. However, he had been practicing the Branding Art with his Divine Sense for a long time. Based on his understanding, if the target did not fight back, then it would be easy for him to succeed with this Art. If he wanted to find a chance of success while the target was fighting back, then it would be the same as when two people were fighting against each other. He needed the other party to show a weakness!
Once a weakness appeared, then it would be easier for Su Ming's Divine Sense to enter and leave his Brand on the insect.
If this weakness was a human, then it would be easier for him to deal with it, but this was a strange insect the size of a finger. It was not so easy to deal with.
Fortunately, the insect's loyalty towards Si Ma Xin was clear to Su Ming. That was why he said those words earlier. He wanted to create a weakness for the insect.
The moment this weakness appeared, Su Ming would immediately rush in with his divine sense. If he succeeded, then he would use the insect, but if he failed, then even if he was reluctant, he would not show any mercy.
At that moment, the instant Su Ming spread his divine sense outwards, all of it gathered on Han Mountain Bell and seeped into it, turning into a windstorm that descended on the weakened strange insect.
At the instant he completely enveloped it, Su Ming immediately sensed the insect's will resisting and struggling furiously. It was a will that refused to be controlled even if it died. The impact it formed caused Su Ming's divine sense to freeze for a moment.
'If that's the case, then if my divine sense is strong enough, I won't need to find any openings to forcefully carve my Brand …' A thought appeared in Su Ming's mind. As the insect struggled, he gained a new understanding towards divine sense and this Art.
Under the cover of his divine sense, Su Ming quietly opened a crack on Han Mountain Bell. The instant that crack was opened, the insect's presence instantly spread out from within.
'Si Ma Xin, I've been waiting for you to create this weakness for me …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he focused his divine sense on the struggling insect.
At that moment, in the first summit of the Great Frozen Sky Continent, there was an incredibly extravagant cave abode located very close to the top of the mountain. That cave abode looked like a towering hall, and within it, Sima Xin was sitting cross-legged with a dark expression on his face as he meditated with his eyes closed.
He was forbidden from leaving the mountain for the next few months. As he sat there, his battle with Su Ming would occasionally appear in his head. That battle had allowed him to truly understand Su Ming's strength. To him, Su Ming was like a sharp thorn stuck in his throat, and it was something he could not tolerate.
Ever since Si Ma Xin was born, everything had been smooth sailing for him. When he entered Freezing Sky Clan, it was even more so. He was highly regarded by the older generation in the clan and was sought after by those of the same generation. He was also good at making friends, so it could be said that he had countless friends in Freezing Sky Clan.
There were also quite a number of women among them who had been planted with the Berserker Seed of Love, whether intentionally or not. The older generation in the clan knew about this, but they did not stop him. Because of that, he felt even more at ease. When he traveled outside, all those who were chosen by him would find it difficult to escape from him to practice the Great Art of Heartless Berserker Seed.
His original target was Bai Su. She had a great background, and many disciples did not know about her. They only thought she was a normal disciple of the seventh summit. However, Si Ma Xin had accidentally discovered that Bai Su's father was someone from the seventh layer of the nine layers of Heaven Gate.
Si Ma Xin did not know who it was. After all, even to him, Heaven Gate was a sacred and mysterious place. That place was the true core of Freezing Sky Clan, and it was also the place where the strongest power gathered.
Heaven Gate disciples rarely walked down Heaven Gate and appeared before the disciples of the Great Frozen Plains. One of them was in the sky, and the other was on the ground. It was as if they were in two different worlds.
Becoming a disciple of Heaven Gate was the dream of almost every single person in the Great Frozen Plains.
However, only the masters of the summits could enter Heaven Gate, or else, they would need to go through Freezing Sky Cave and obtain one thousand Shaman heads.
"I must enter Heaven Gate!" Si Ma Xin clenched his fists. He had no feelings for Bai Su, but as they came into contact with each other, he could tell with just one glance that Bai Su seemed to have feelings for him.
Of course, this feeling was something he had slowly developed when he traveled with her. His goal was not to plant the Berserker Seed of Love in her. After all, Bai Su's father was in Heaven Gate, and Si Ma Xin was wary of him.
However, this did not stop him from getting in contact with Bai Su and asking for her help so that he could obtain the right to enter Freezing Sky Cave. After all, the activation of Freezing Sky Clan required one thousand Shaman heads, but he did not have enough. After all, if the Shaman Tribe did not invade him en masse, then if he wanted to obtain one thousand heads, he would have to venture deep into Sky Mist Barrier. This was difficult for him.
His plan was to first enter Freezing Sky Cave and increase his power there before he went to retrieve the Shaman heads. By doing so, he would have more confidence in his success.
This sort of cheating method was not allowed in Freezing Sky Clan. Other people could not understand why this was not allowed, but they could do nothing about it. Si Ma Xin did not want to do this, that was why he set his sights on Bai Su. As long as someone from Heaven Gate took the initiative to activate Freezing Sky Cave for the disciples of the Great Frozen Plains, then he would be able to fulfill his wish.
He was also confident that with his Great Art of Heartless Berserker Seed, he would have a certain degree of certainty that he would succeed even if he sacrificed all his people. Once he succeeded, his power would increase by leaps and bounds. At that time, he would not have to worry about not being able to find any Berserker Children. He might need a lot of time, but he believed that it was all worth it!
Until he met Su Ming! More accurately speaking, when he fought against Su Ming, a greedy thought appeared in his head. He wanted to Plant the Berserker Seed in Su Ming's body and turn him into his Berserker Child.
By doing so, he felt that not only would his chances of entering Freezing Sky Cave increase by a large margin, the increase in his power would also be different from what he had planned.
There were a lot of benefits. There was even a possibility that not all of his Berserker Children would die. These various benefits made Si Ma Xin's heart pound.
'Bai Su has already promised me that she'll talk to her father about this. She'll do everything she can to make her father agree to this … She also told me that her father has never refused any of her requests. There's a high chance that she'll succeed. It's just that the time to enter has not been decided yet … By the looks of it now, I don't need to be in too much of a hurry …
'The most important thing now is to make Su Ming my Berserker Child!' Si Ma Xin closed his eyes and a myriad of thoughts spun in his head.
'It's a pity that I can't go down the mountain now. Even if I can come and go as I please when the time is right, it'll be difficult for me to come into contact with Su Ming … Ah, if I knew this would happen, I would have given up on Han Mountain Bell and befriended him. At that time, I could naturally plant the Berserker Seed in his heart!' Si Ma Xin closed his eyes and frowned. As he was immersed in his thoughts, a thought suddenly appeared in his head.
"Bai Su!" Si Ma Xin opened his eyes, and there was a glint in them.
'When Su Ming saw Bai Su, his expression was clearly off. He didn't seem to be faking it …' A glint appeared in Si Ma Xin's eyes and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
"With love as a guide, turn it into a Berserker Seed. When it blooms, the love will be deep, and the heart will be cold without a trace. In an instant, the beauty of youth will fade away! "If I, Si Ma Xin, can create this Art of using love to train without a mind, then I can also make some changes. With Bai Su as a guide, I can plant the Berserker Seed in Su Ming's body!" Si Ma Xin mumbled, and there was a merciless, evil, and strange look in his smile.
"Su Ming, now that I, Si Ma Xin, value you … you can't escape!" A glint appeared in Si Ma Xin's eyes, but at that moment, his expression suddenly changed. He lifted his head swiftly and immediately rushed out of his cave abode to look at the ninth summit in the distance!
"My snake treasure!" Si Ma Xin's pupils shrank and his expression instantly darkened.
He could feel the presence of his snake treasure. Ever since the snake was captured by Su Ming, that presence had disappeared. Now that it had suddenly appeared, it stirred up the faint connection between Si Ma Xin and the snake.
The reason why he could make the snake acknowledge him as its master was because he had once obtained a blood picture by chance. That picture had a long history, and he had only learned about it after looking through a lot of ancient scrolls. It could allow some strange ferocious beasts to form a connection with the user, and from there, he could control them as if they were acknowledging him as their master.
That blood picture belonged to the Shaman Tribe outside Sky Mist Barrier. However, the one Si Ma Xin obtained was already broken and could not be effective against ferocious beasts that were too strong. That was why when he saw the insect snake and saw its strength, he used the blood picture without hesitation when he noticed that the snake was still in its infancy.
At that moment, he could clearly feel that the connection formed by the blood picture was being attacked. Even if it did not seem to be weakened, but after a moment, when the snake treasure's presence was about to disappear once again, Si Ma Xin hesitated. (To be continued.
