Shen Bi Ru was getting more and more confused by the young man before her.
The Beast Forest was where savage beasts were kept, and it was extremely filthy. It was one thing to feed the savage beasts, but more importantly, to clean their feces, bathe them, comb their hair... For an official beast tamer to be confined here for three years was already a huge punishment.
As long as one was a beast tamer, even an apprentice, or even a beast tamer who had been to the Beast Hall before, they would know what this represented...
Yet, he asked what kind of place it was and whether the punishment was severe...
Are you joking with me?
It is one thing if you don't know anything about beast taming, but to be able to easily tame the Gold Alloyed Panther and Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow and raise their cultivation... Furthermore, to be able to recognize ancient beasts that even Hall Master Feng and the others couldn't...
Yet, you are so familiar with it that even Hall Master Feng doesn't know anything about it. Yet, you are completely clueless about the most basic of common knowledge...
If it was anyone else, they would definitely think that he was trying to get close to her to win her favor. However, she knew that this young man was truly clueless!
Because... if he wanted to get close to her, she wouldn't even need him to say anything.
"The Beast Forest is..."
Suppressing the frustration in her heart, Shen Bi explained the Beast Forest. Eventually, she couldn't help but ask, "You really don't know anything about beast taming?"
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Even though there were records on beast tamers in Tianxuan Kingdom's Book Collection Vault, they were only a few words. The reason why he was able to raise the Gold Alloyed Panther and Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow was due to the Library of Heaven's Path and the purity of his zhenqi...
Speaking of which, he really didn't know anything about beast taming.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing the other party's confirmation, Shen Bi Ru was speechless.
Despite knowing nothing, he casually tamed a savage beast, forced the hall master of the Beast Hall to punish an official beast tamer, and left four other beast tamers speechless...
If he really knew, wouldn't he turn the Beast Hall upside down?
He pointed out the flaws of formations despite knowing nothing about beast taming... Brother, if there's anything you don't know in the future, can you impart it to me?
To be honest, I also want to be 'ignorant'...
Shen Bi Ru felt so stifled that she wanted to vomit blood. On the other hand, Yun Tao was on the verge of going insane with excitement.
After being berated by Beast Tamer Hong, he thought that it would be impossible for him to clear the examination today. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Elder Zhang Xuan would be able to resolve the issue with just a few words.
Most importantly … this strange bird was actually an ancient beast, the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow!
As an apprentice beast tamer, Zhang Xuan knew how valuable a savage beast that possessed the bloodline of an ancient beast was. While it might not be as valuable as a city, it was close to it.
To think that he would casually give away such a precious item and have it recognize him as its master …
"When the beast tamer examination is over, I should find a way to remove the master-servant relationship with it..."
An idea popped up in his mind.
Ancient beasts were great, but given his current strength, he was still unable to control and protect them.
Furthermore, it was clear that the ancient sparrow was closer to Senior Zhang Xuan. After the beast tamer examination was over, Zhang Xuan would dissolve the relationship and allow this ancient beast to follow its master.
If Zhang Xuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely shake his head with a smile.
It was just an ancient beast. He really did not fancy it.
Possessing the Heaven's Path zhenqi formed from the Heaven's Path Divine Art, along with the rise in his cultivation, he was able to cleanse the blood of savage beasts. As long as he was given sufficient time, he could even turn an ordinary savage beast into an ancient beast!
More importantly, even though this Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow possessed a powerful bloodline, it was too small. Not only was it unable to sit on him, it was even crouching on his shoulder every day. To him, it was of little value.
If it was an aerial ancient beast that he could rely on, he could still consider it. He could easily tame one or two ancient beasts to play with, but to bring it along with him every day to cultivate his cultivation technique, master and servant working together … Just the thought of it was troublesome … Forget it.
...
Hall Master Feng was personally conducting the examination for Yun Tao, and all that was left was to follow the steps. Knowing that the ancient sparrow had been completely tamed, Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to it.
Stretching his back lazily, Zhang Xuan was contemplating how he could find the Poison Temple in Tianwu Kingdom when a fragrant wind blew past him. A beautiful figure appeared before him. With her hands behind her back, an unyielding gleam reflected in her eyes.
"To be able to recognize the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, you must be a beast tamer as well!"
She was the genius from before, Mo Yu.
As a grade-1 beast tamer, she should have been the center of attention. Yet, this fellow stole all the limelight. This piqued her interest in this young man.
Ever since she was born, other than that person, regardless of whether it was her occupation or her cultivation, she had always stood out. She thought that she would be able to get first place in the beast taming examination as well, but from the looks of it, it was impossible.
Even though the Tongxuan realm Viridescent Eagle wasn't weak, it was still far from matching up to an ancient beast.
Having interacted with Yun Tao for a period of time, she knew that he didn't possess such capability. The only one who could make him tame a savage beast was this unassuming fellow before her.
"No!" Glancing at the other party, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"No? Then how do you know that this is the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow? Furthermore, you were able to tame this Gold Alloyed Panther and make the ancient sparrow so intimate with you? "
A glint flashed across Mo Yu's eyes.
As a master teacher apprentice, Mo Yu was able to discern the intimate relationship between this young man and the Gold Alloyed Panther, and the ancient sparrow seemed to be deeply attached to him. She wouldn't believe that it wasn't the means of a beast tamer.
"Oh, it might be because of my good character!" Zhang Xuan casually waved his hands.
Others might think that she was the third princess of Tianwu Kingdom, an incomparably noble genius who was worthy of fawning upon. But to him, it didn't matter at all.
"Character?"
Mo Yu staggered.
Beast taming was about emotions, all kinds of means, and schemes. To pit one's wits against a savage beast, character... What the heck was that?
When others spoke to her, they would always pretend to understand what they didn't understand, exaggerating and speaking with fervor and assurance. This fellow, on the other hand, didn't say anything if he didn't want to. He couldn't even be bothered to brush her off …
Character... If it was possible to tame savage beasts, who would bother taking the beast tamer examination?
Ever since she was young, she had always been treated with respect. No one dared to speak to her in such a manner!
She felt stifled.
Seeing how even the third princess of Tianwu Kingdom was at a disadvantage against Zhang Xuan, Shen Bi Ru shook her head.
Honestly speaking, when she first started interacting with this fellow, she nearly choked to death.
Now that she had gotten used to it, other than being slapped in the face daily, at the very least, she had gotten used to the way he spoke.
To come over to chat with someone who didn't even know his temperament was just asking for trouble.
Unaware of Zhang Xuan's' glorious deeds', Mo Yu took a few deep breaths before she could regulate her breathing. Then, she tilted her head upwards, reminiscent of a white swan.
"It's fine if you don't want to say it. To be able to tame a savage beast willingly, you do have some capabilities! Do you dare to have a beast taming competition with me? If I win, you will tell me how you captured the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow and won its Goodwill! If you win, I will give you a 2-star master teacher Jiang Shu's Tutelage Jade Token! "
"2-star master teacher Jiang Shu?"
"I heard that he's the most formidable master teacher in Tianwu Kingdom, reaching 2-star pinnacle. On top of that, he's the person-in-charge of Tianwu Mingshi Tang Academy. Even though his tutelage is only two hours long, it's extremely valuable!"
"This isn't something that can be bought with money... If I can obtain it, my cultivation will definitely reach Tongxuan realm or even higher!"
"It's too wasteful to use it just to reach Tongxuan realm. No matter what, I should use it when I'm trying to reach Half-Zongshi to bring out its full potential!"
...
Many people in the surroundings were paying attention to Mo Yu xiaojie's every action. Upon hearing the stakes of the bet, their eyes glowed in excitement and their breathing hastened.
Even though it was only two hours long, a 2-star master teacher's Tutelage Jade Token was something that countless people yearned for.
Perhaps, they might even be able to reach a higher realm!
No one would be able to resist such a temptation.
Just when everyone thought that this fellow would agree to it, Zhang Xuan's lips twitched and he shook his head, "I'm not interested!"
After disguising as a master teacher for so long, he had interacted with Liu Shi and the others. Naturally, he knew what a Tutelage Jade Token was and what it could be used for.
However, as long as he had sufficient secret manuals, it didn't matter to him whether he needed pointers or not.
Putting aside a mere 2-star master teacher, even a 3-star or 4-star master teacher wasn't attractive to him at all.
No matter how powerful a 1-star master teacher was, could it be more powerful than the Library of Heaven's Path?
There was nothing that could hide from the heavens. Putting aside 3-star and 4-star, even Seven Star and 8-star master teachers were nothing to him.
"Not interested? Think it through... "
Mo Yu thought that the other party would agree to it immediately after throwing out such a huge bait. However, upon hearing such a reply, she was taken aback. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Yun Tao had already passed the test. The Heart Inquisition Crystal flashed and a row of numbers appeared...
40！
"What? A Loyalty Level of 40? This... This is Advanced Taming? "
Hall Master Feng was taken aback. He abruptly stood up and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He wasn't the only one. The entire room burst into an uproar. Even Mo Yu was so shocked that her body trembled and she forgot what she was about to say.
Beast taming could be divided into Elementary Taming, Advanced Taming, and Complete Taming.
The Loyalty Level of Elementary Taming was between 15 to 30. This meant that the beast tamer could summon a savage beast to accompany him wherever he went. In a sense, it was similar to a house pet.
For Advanced Taming, the Loyalty Level of a savage beast was between 31 to 45. The beast tamer and the savage beast would form a contract, allowing them to communicate with one another.
As for the even more profound Complete Taming, the Loyalty Level of 45 and above would require many years of cooperation, cultivation, and advancement.
It was already incredible for an ancient beast to be able to Elementary Taming. Yet, the Loyalty Level of 40... In other words, it had already surpassed the level of a follower and formed a contract!
How... is this possible?
"You... How did you do it?"
Hall Master Feng couldn't help but ask.
"This..." Yun Tao hesitated.
"If it's not convenient for you to tell me, you don't have to!" Seeing Yun Tao's attitude, Hall Master Feng thought that Yun Tao was hiding some secret and hurriedly said.
"That's not it. Actually..." Yun Tao scratched his head. "It's all thanks to Elder Zhang Xuan. He beat up the ancient sparrow and it was tamed..."
