"Pummeled... it?"
Everyone was stunned.
Hall Master Feng's mouth twitched, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
That was an ancient beast! In the entire Xuanluo Mountain Range, there might not be a second ancient beast that could surpass it. It was such a precious treasure that one should take good care of...
Besides, taming a beast required one to nurture their relationship with it. Pummeling might be able to make it submit, but over time, all kinds of flaws would appear.
However... If one were to use forceful means to force the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow to submit, what the heck is a Loyalty Level of 40?
It was indeed possible to tame a savage beast by force, and there were precedents of such cases. However, even if the savage beast were to sign a contract, its Loyalty Level would only be at the lowest level of Complete Taming, roughly 31.
A Loyalty Level of 40 could only be said to be subservient to one's will!
"Could it be that... ancient beasts require such a method to tame?"
Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Lu, and Beast Tamer Wang stared at one another and fell into deep thought.
Ancient beasts had never been tamed before, and no one knew how to tame them. Initially, they thought that it would be the same as other savage beasts, requiring care, care, and friendship in order to tame them. Who could have thought that... could it be the simplest form of violence?
"This... May I know where the Elder Zhang Xuan you spoke of is? Can we pay him a visit? "
After pondering for a moment, Hall Master Feng was still unable to come up with an answer.
In his view, the elder who had studied ancient beasts was bound to be an esteemed figure. His understanding of beast taming wasn't beneath theirs.
"Pay him a visit? There's no need for that. Elder Zhang Xuan is here... "
Taken aback, Yun Tao pointed over.
"He's Zhang Xuan... Elder?"
Hall Master Feng was taken aback, and his vision blurred.
No matter what, Yun Tao was still a prince of Hanwu Kingdom, and he was only twenty-seven years old. For him to address the other party as elder, the other party should be in his fifties or sixties at the very least. Yet... the other party was a young lad who had just recognized the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, a young man who wasn't even twenty yet...
"Indeed. Elder might be young, but his beast taming skills are undeniable. Do you see that Gold Alloyed Panther beside him? It was just recently tamed as well. It took less than ten minutes for him to tame it."
Fearing that Hall Master Feng and the others wouldn't take him seriously, Yun Tao hurriedly praised Zhang Xuan.
"Taming a Gold Alloyed Panther in less than ten minutes?"
"This isn't a dream, right?"
"There should be a limit to your nonsense. Even the simplest Elementary Taming would take at least three to five days to complete, let alone less than ten minutes?"
"Why do I feel like I'm hearing a joke?"
…
Yun Tao didn't conceal his voice, so everyone in the room heard him. Once again, they looked at each other and were stunned.
Putting aside Mo Yu, Zhou Xuan, and the others, even the guards behind them had participated in the beast taming process, so they knew how difficult it was to tame a savage beast.
First, he needed to understand the other party's situation, habits, whether he had a partner, likes and dislikes …
He had to familiarize himself with all of this before coming up with a plan to tame a savage beast... In any case, it would take at least several months for him to succeed in taming a savage beast. Ten minutes... You must be kidding me!
Putting aside taming a Pixue realm savage beast, even if you were to give a dog ten minutes, would you be able to get it to follow you home obediently?
Mo Yu xiaojie couldn't help but stare at the young man who rejected her in disbelief.
Taming a savage beast in ten minutes?
If that was true, why did she challenge him... Wasn't she asking for a beating?
In order to tame this Viridescent Eagle, she had spent a lot of time preparing for it two months in advance...
"Taming a Gold Alloyed Panther in such a short period of time? He... What kind of method did he use? Attraction of partner? Attraction of stomach? Attraction of strength... or some other method? "
Beast Tamer Lu couldn't help but ask. He listed more than a dozen commonly seen beast taming methods.
"No, these methods are more basic, and it takes a longer time to tame a savage beast. I think that it should be a combination of many different methods, so as to capture the other party's interest in a short period of time..."
Hall Master Feng said.
"There are too many methods, and it is impossible for him to complete them in a short period of time. My guess is that it should be a single method..." Beast Tamer Lu shook his head.
The two of them had devoted their lives to beast taming, and this occupation had long been ingrained into their bones. Upon hearing that a savage beast was tamed in such a short period of time, the first thing that came to their mind was what kind of method the other party used.
"Cough cough, Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Lu, Elder Zhang Xuan... All of these methods are useless!"
Hearing their discussions getting more and more complicated, to the point where it seemed as though they were going to research it, Yun Tao couldn't help but stop their discussion.
"All of them are useless? Could it be... a new beast taming method? "
The eyes of Hall Master Feng and the others lit up.
A new beast taming method was similar to an apothecary's pill forging method. If it were to appear, it would surely cause a huge uproar.
To be able to tame a Pixue realm savage beast in less than ten minutes, if such a method were to spread, it would surely shock everyone.
"It isn't a new beast taming method, but..." Yun Tao scratched his head. Recalling the matter from before, he still found it inconceivable. "Elder Zhang Xuan also pummeled this Gold Alloyed Panther, and then... it submitted to him!"
"What?"
"Pummeled it as well?"
Hall Master Feng and the others were dumbfounded.
Since the Golden Alloyed Panther was of a different species, this method might work. However... the Golden Alloyed Panther had been tamed before in the Beast Hall. It had a proud and swift personality, and it rarely interacted with others. If Zhang Xuan wanted to tame it, the best method would be to attract it with a companion...
To submit to him after a beating...
"Indeed. Actually, I was intending to tame this Gold Alloyed Panther, but I underestimated its strength and nearly got killed. It was Elder Zhang Xuan who appeared and saved us. After Elder pummeled that fellow, it submitted to him and requested to sign a contract. To be honest, Elder was a little reluctant. If not for my persuasion, he probably wouldn't have agreed to it. "
Recalling the previous experience, Yun Tao couldn't help but say.
"It submitted after a beating? Or did it submit completely and request to sign a contract? "
"The Gold Alloyed Panther submitted to him, but it was unwilling..."
"Other people tamed savage beasts as though they had gone through a life-and-death ordeal. On the other hand, after a beating, he submitted to him..."
...
Hearing those words, everyone staggered, and they nearly spurted blood.
This was especially so for Zhou Xuan and Zhu Jinhuang. Their bodies trembled violently, and they were on the verge of fainting.
In order to tame the savage beasts around them, they had to mobilize manpower and resources from their respective kingdoms, as well as invest innumerable sums of money into them. Even so, they were only at Elementary Taming, and the other party could easily back down at any moment. Yet, this fellow actually managed to tame it with just a simple beating...
When did beast taming become so simple?
"To be able to tame an ancient beast with just a beating and recognize it, no matter what method he used, he is a beast taming genius!"
After recovering from his shock, Beast Tamer Lu's eyes lit up.
"Right, is he... a beast tamer?"
Suddenly recalling something, Beast Tamer Wang asked.
To be able to tame a savage beast so easily, he should be a beast tamer. But if so, why wasn't there any record of him in the Beast Hall?
"He isn't. He hasn't taken the examination yet! He only learned beast taming in his spare time! "Yun Tao replied.
On the way here, he had asked around and found out that Elder Zhang Xuan had never taken any beast taming examination before.
There was a large number of geniuses among the populace who had never taken any examination before, but possessed unique talents.
"He hasn't taken the examination yet? That's great! Help me ask him if he's willing to take the beast tamer examination. As long as he's willing, I'm willing to take the examination for him personally! "
Hall Master Feng hurriedly said.
Given how the other party was able to tame a savage beast so easily, he would surely shine brightly once he became a beast tamer. Perhaps... the name of this Beast Hall branch might even spread far and wide. More importantly, if the other party was truly as rumored, possessing the ability to tame a savage beast with just a beating, if he were to participate in that competition... he would surely win first place!
Of course, he still had to take the examination personally to see for himself.
"Beast tamer examination? I'll help you ask... "
Yun Tao nodded. He walked up to Zhang Xuan and said, "Elder, Hall Master Feng said that as long as you're willing to take the beast tamer examination, he's willing to take the examination for you personally..."
"Forget it..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan rejected the offer.
The reason why he was able to tame beasts was due to the Library of Heaven's Path. If he were to take the examination, he would surely be exposed.
However, as long as he was given sufficient books, he would be able to solve the problem. More importantly... the beast tamer examination would take more than half a month, and he had no idea how many tests he would have to pass before that.
He had to resolve the lethal poison in his body as soon as possible. He didn't have much time to waste here.
"This is a good opportunity for Hall Master Feng to take the examination personally..."
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to reject him outright, Yun Tao couldn't help but speak up.
Hall Master Feng specially added an additional examination. This was an extremely rare opportunity. Many people dreamed of it, but were unable to obtain it.
"I have urgent matters to attend to. Since you're already a beast tamer, just help me choose a good aerial savage beast. It doesn't matter whether I take the examination or not!" Zhang Xuan said.
"This..."
Seeing that the other party wasn't interested in taking the beast tamer examination, Yun Tao shook his head and said regretfully, "Actually, for the beast tamer examination, all you have to do is tame a suitable savage beast. It doesn't have to take half a month. Furthermore, after becoming an official beast tamer, not only can you choose your own savage beast and ride the savage beasts of the Beast Hall, you don't have to pay any fees. In fact, you can even change your mount in any Beast Hall... "
"You don't have to pay any fees?"
But before he could finish his words, the calm and composed Zhang Xuan suddenly appeared before him, and his eyes lit up in excitement.
"Indeed, official beast tamers have this privilege. 1-star beast tamers can borrow savage beasts of Zongshi realm and below for free. 2-star beast tamers can borrow Zongshi realm savage beasts for free, and so on and so forth. The higher one's rank, the higher one's standing will be... "
Yun Tao explained. However, before he could finish his words, he saw Elder Zhang Xuan looking at him with a solemn expression. His voice was filled with determination.
"Free is a small matter, there's no need to talk about it! How does the beast tamer examination work... "
"Why don't... I give it a try?"
(Sorry, I'm a little late. On the second day of the month, I'll continue to plead for monthly votes. The great gods behind me will be coming soon, so let's work harder. Laoya will work harder!!! Thank you!)
