"Acknowledge it as its master?"
"Elder Liu, you intend to make it acknowledge you as its master?"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and Elder Feng glanced at one another in astonishment.
Semi-Divinity realm beasts were prideful existences, and all they wanted to do was to kill and acknowledge it as their master. You aren't the master beast tamers of the Myriad Beasts Hall, so how could you possibly make it acknowledge you as its master?
Not to mention, not even the new head of the Myriad Beasts Hall, Zheng Yang, would be able to tame a beast of that caliber!
Just as they had guessed, the Blackback Tortoise's face darkened upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, reminiscent of a volcano that would erupt at any moment. "You want me to acknowledge you as my master? Let's see if you have the strength to do so … "
Hong long!
With a furious roar, the Blackback Tortoise charged forward.
"Seal!"
Without moving, Zhang Xuan tapped his finger lightly.
Hula!
Energy gathered in the surroundings, and the massive Blackback Tortoise was sealed in the water not too far away. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free.
"Submit to me, or be killed!" Zhang Xuan said as he sealed the other party with a formation.
"Kill me if you dare!"
The Blackback Tortoise retracted its head and limbs back into its shell.
As a Semi-Divinity realm expert, its shell was comparable to a Semi-Divinity artifact, making it nearly indestructible. As long as it could enter its shell, so what if the other party trapped it?
It wouldn't be able to kill it either!
Semi-Divinity realm beasts also had their own pride. To acknowledge someone so much weaker than them as their master … Dream on!
Not to mention, the formation that sealed it required energy to sustain. As long as the Blackback Tortoise could hold on for some time, it would break on its own.
"Do you think that I won't be able to do anything just like that?" Zhang Xuan had already guessed that the Blackback Tortoise would do such a thing. Clapping his hands, he said, "Little Chick, come out and receive your guest!"
"Coming!"
Little Chick waddled its bottom and walked out.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and Elder Feng blinked their eyes in bewilderment.
A Heavenly High Immortal?
Even if this chick's cultivation wasn't low, it was only the size of a palm.
Paying no heed to the duo's shock, Little Chick climbed up the back of the Blackback Tortoise. However, it only managed to climb half a meter before it fell to the ground.
It flapped its thumb-sized wings twice before it climbed up the back of the Blackback Tortoise.
"…"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao pulled out several strands of hair from his head.
This thing …
A Semi-Divinity realm Blackback Tortoise?
You're just bluffing!
The Blackback Tortoise also poked its head out of its shell with a dumbfounded look on its face.
You can tame me … but don't insult me!
No matter what, I am still a Semi-Divinity realm beast that has dominated the Forsaken Continent.
Even the two Semi-Divinity realm sect leaders are helpless before me.
He could have used all kinds of means to tame it, but in the end … he ended up calling a chicken instead!
The key point was … it was fine to call it 'real'. After all, it was seduction. But what the hell was this?
Oh, that's right, this is a real chicken!
Without a doubt.
The Blackback Tortoise felt indescribably depressed.
If not for the fact that his strength had been greatly damaged and his body was injured, he would have long since charged forward and torn this fool into pieces. How could he tolerate such humiliation?
After two more attempts, Little Chick fell to the ground again. It turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Don't you know that chickens can't swim? Hurry up and help! "
"…" Zhang Xuan.
Didn't you swim happily when I was cooking you?
Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to argue with the other party. He walked up to the Blackback Tortoise and grabbed the little yellow chick by its neck. "Go!"
Hu!
The little yellow chick immediately landed on the back of the Blackback Tortoise. Baji! It fell onto the back of the Blackback Tortoise.
"Alright, hurry up," Zhang Xuan said with a frown.
"Don't worry!"
Little Chick nodded. Standing on the hundred-meter-long back of the Blackback Tortoise, it suddenly opened its mouth.
Hu!
Its mouth, which was only the size of a thumbnail, suddenly expanded to several hundred meters wide. In an instant, the massive tortoise shell was swallowed whole.
Following which, yellow fur began growing all over the Blackback Tortoise's body.
"Alright, I'll eat it!"
Little Chick flapped its thumb-sized wings once more.
"Eat it? I asked you to help me tame it, but who told you to eat it?"
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
This fellow is still as unreliable as ever …
I asked you to help me tame it and scare it, not eat it!
If I eat it, who am I going to tame?
Leaping up, Zhang Xuan slapped Zhang Xuan across the face. "Spit it out! Spit it out!"
"Alright!"
The little chick's face darkened. Its stomach bulged, and it spat out the Blackback Tortoise once more.
The gigantic sea turtle was already on the verge of death. Its head poked out of its shell, filled with confusion.
Who am I? Where am I?
"Submit to me!"
Zhang Xuan walked up to him.
"Dream on …" The turtle gritted its teeth.
"Alright, you can continue eating!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand. "I have no objections …"
The little chick opened its mouth once more.
"I … acknowledge him as my master!"
The Blackback Tortoise asked anxiously.
He had no choice but to admit defeat. To think that he, a Semi-Divinity realm expert, would be eaten by a chicken … He really couldn't afford to lose that much!
"That's more like it!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction and proceeded with the master recognition ceremony.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and Elder Feng widened their mouths in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
It was tamed just like that?
Was that little chick actually that powerful?
They had thought that the other party had only brought out the little chick to disgust the Blackback Tortoise, but who could have thought that it would actually be able to swallow the massive Blackback Tortoise whole?
Could it be that …
Was it because of this little chick that Elder Liu was able to subdue the Semi-Divinity metal chains?
"Alright, you're too big. Shrink down a little!"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief after the acknowledgement process was completed.
"Yes!"
The Blackback Tortoise immediately shrunk to two meters in diameter.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a few bottles of chicken bath water and passed them over. "Swallow this."
Since it was its master's order, the Blackback Tortoise did not dare to disobey. A moment later, a look of astonishment surfaced on its face.
The injuries it had sustained earlier were extremely severe, and its internal organs had been damaged from the repeated collisions with the Blackback Tortoise. At the same time, its body was in a terrible state. Who would have thought that it would recover so quickly after drinking the bath water?
It was filled with energy once more!
"Deity? Divine beast? "
When it looked at its master once more, the look in its eyes had changed.
It was just a moment ago that it had been forced to acknowledge the other party as its master, but at this very moment, it was filled with fear.
The fact that the little yellow chick was able to swallow it so easily meant that its cultivation was only at Heavenly High Immortal realm, but in truth, it was far stronger than it!
It was already a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, so it could not think of anything else other than a divine beast!
To be able to tame a young divine beast … the young master of the Blackback Tortoise was definitely no ordinary person!
Paying no heed to the shocked Blackback Tortoise, Zhang Xuan walked over to where the three Heavenly High Immortal-tier swords that Bai Xuansheng had shot out earlier were pinched between his fingertips. He flicked them a few times, and a moment later, three resounding cries sounded from the swords.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan stowed them into his storage ring.
After doing all that, he took out another tamed beast sack and placed the Blackback Tortoise and the little yellow chick into it. Then, he returned to Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and said, "You paid a huge price for this diamond crystal, so I'll return it to you now."
After all, he had tamed the Blackback Tortoise, so there was no way he would give it away to anyone else.
"This …"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao's face reddened as he took the diamond crystal.
He had thought that given his strength and the preparations he had made beforehand, he would have been able to kill the Blackback Tortoise with ease. Who could have thought that he would nearly lose his life there?
Yet, the young man before him had managed to subdue the Blackback Tortoise with just a formation and a little yellow chick. Not only that, he had even managed to tame the Blackback Tortoise.
"How should we deal with Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
Previously, Pavilion Master Bai had been knocked unconscious by the Blackback Tortoise, and at this moment, his head was still buried in the mud.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "If he learns that we have tamed the Blackback Tortoise, the relationship between our sects will surely sour. Why don't we leave right now?"
They had only appeared after Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng had fainted, so it was likely that the other party was unaware of their presence.
The relationship between the Seven Star Pavilion and the Blackmirror Citadel had always been close. If a conflict were to arise over this matter, it would be a huge loss for them.
After all, the young man had taken Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng's Semi-Divinity artifact. If he were to wake up and ask for it back, should they return it or not?
In any case, they might as well feign ignorance.
"Leave?" Zhang Xuan frowned. All of a sudden, he walked up to the unconscious Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng and plucked him out of the mud. Following which, his eyes lit up as he plucked the storage ring from Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng's finger. "Who is it?"
Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng immediately jolted awake, and he bellowed furiously. However, before he could open his eyes, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his head.
Putong!
He fainted once more.
Zhang Xuan retracted his hand and returned to Pavilion Master Kui Xiao's side with the storage ring in his hand. "Let's go!"
Given how Pavilion Master Bai Xuansheng had casually tossed out a Semi-Divinity artifact and three Heavenly High Immortal-tier swords, it was clear that he was a tycoon.
Since he didn't know who they were, he might as well rob them first!
Even if he found out who he was in the future, he could only thank them for saving his life. Otherwise, he would have already been killed by the Blackback Tortoise.
"This …"
Not expecting Elder Liu to be so greedy, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao shook his head helplessly. However, in the end, he chose not to say anything.
After leaving the Sea of Little Mirror, Elder Feng and Pavilion Master Kui Xiao looked at the reflection of the full moon on the surface of the water, and a chill ran down their spines.
Those mirror-like Silverback Mayflies were insignificant creatures in their eyes. Who could have thought that they would wield such frightening strength?
Even a Semi-Divinity artifact would not be able to withstand their combined might!
If not for Elder Liu noticing them in advance, they might have ended up in the same situation as Bai Xuansheng. Not only would they have fallen unconscious, they might even have died on the spot!
Realizing this, they turned to look at the young man before them with admiration in their eyes.
"How is it?"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao suddenly turned to Elder Feng and asked.
"Very good!" Elder Feng nodded, seemingly knowing what Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was thinking. "I'm convinced!"
"That's good!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao smiled as he turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Elder Liu, I have a request that I would like to ask of you."
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"May I know …"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you willing to take over my position as the head of our Seven Star Pavilion?"
