Back then, the Demon Cinque Beast was the king of the Gentle Speech Ridge. As a mere bandit, the Beast Hall and Alliance Head Residence were helpless against it. Those who dared to provoke it were either killed or thrown into an unknown corner.
This fellow actually wanted to tame it right from the start. Not killing it was already giving it face.
Roar!
Clutching the jade bottle and storage ring with the spirit beast's blood essence in its claws, it roared again.
"Cough cough!"
Zhang Xuan coughed and translated in embarrassment, "It made you drink the blood of this spirit beast …"
As his tamed beast, the Demon Cinque Beast was able to communicate telepathically with him. Even though it didn't know the beast language, it was still able to understand these simple words.
"Drinking beast blood …" Wei Changqing cried.
Spirit beast blood essence was only effective on spirit beasts. If a human were to drink it, not only would it be useless, they might even grow scales and fur all over their bodies, making them look like a specter... In fact, they might even die on the spot!
Not everyone possessed the Heaven's Path zhenqi to neutralize the rampaging energy contained within.
Roar!
Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn't moving, the Demon Cinque Beast roared once more. Opening the jade bottle, it was about to stuff it into Zhang Xuan's mouth.
"Zhang Shi, save me. I … I don't want to tame it anymore …"
Wei Changqing's face paled, and he nearly lost his soul.
Judging from the other party's stance, not only was he going to feed him the spirit essence, he was even going to stuff the jade bottle into his mouth. If he didn't open his mouth now, he would probably die within a few breaths.
What was going on …
He had made a solemn vow to tame the other party's spirit beast, but who could have known that... this huge fellow wouldn't play by the rules at all?
The eyes of other spirit beasts would immediately light up upon seeing the blood essence of a Consonant Spirit realm spirit beast, and they would do all kinds of things to fawn over it. Yet, this fellow treated it as trash and even wanted to feed it...
You won't be happy until you kill me …
To think that a 4-star beast tamer would be stomped into the ground by a spirit beast and ask to be tamed... What in the world was this...
"Alright, Demon Cinque, stop fooling around!"
Zhang Xuan bellowed, seeing that the fellow would really die if he were to continue messing around with him.
"Roar!"
With a look of reluctance on his face, Demonic Cinque raised his claws and stood proudly at the side of the dueling ring. As for the storage ring, jade bottle, and the like, he did not return them either.
Are you kidding me? Now that I'm in his hands, I've become his spoils of war. You still want me to return it?
Dream on!
"Cough cough!"
Spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, Wei Changqing struggled to stand up, his face pale.
To be beaten to the brink of death by a spirit beast before he had even started taming, if word were to spread, he would lose his job as a beast tamer... He couldn't afford to lose his face!
He stared at the Demon Cinque Beast anxiously, wanting to take back his storage ring and beast blood droplets. However, upon seeing the Demon Cinque Beast glaring at him, he couldn't help but shudder in fear.
Ask for my a * s. Looking at the other party's expression, it was already giving him a lot of face by not killing him.
Tears flowed out.
I'm here to regain my dignity … Why does it seem even more embarrassing than before …
"It seems like you haven't earned the slightest bit of loyalty from my tamed beast … Is there a need for us to continue competing?" Zhang Xuan asked.
After taming each other's tamed beasts, the victor would be decided based on the loyalty of the tamed beasts. However, Zhang Xuan couldn't get any loyalty from the Demon Cinque Beast at all. Thus, there was no point in continuing this.
"Of course we have to continue. Beast taming is all about luck. You might not be much better than me. If you're like me and can't tame anything, we'll at most be tied …"
Wei Changqing gritted his teeth.
There wasn't much time left. If he couldn't win the trust of the Demon Cinque Beast, the other party might not be able to win the loyalty of the Beryline Spirit Beast either.
Perhaps, it would just be a draw!
At the very least, he would be able to regain some face.
"Are you certain?"
A bizarre expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.
"I'm certain!"
Seeing the other party's expression, Wei Changqing thought that he didn't dare to accept the challenge. Sneering coldly, he placed his hands behind his back and regained his confidence. Turning to his tamed beast, he said, "Beryline Spirit, this Zhang Shi wants to tame you. As long as you can stand against him and do me proud, you can have whatever you want when you return. In fact, you might even be able to find an Ancient Bloodline for your Bloodline Evolution …"
"Roar!"
Hearing its master's promise, the massive eyes of the Beryline Spirit Beast glowed with determination. It hurriedly nodded its head.
"Shameless, too shameless!"
"Indeed. Zhang Shi just told the Demon Cinque Beast to cooperate with him. Yet, he actually requested for his tamed beast to not submit to him. How can he possibly tame it like that?"
"That's cheating!"
"Even though he claims to be fair, he still gave his tamed beast such clear instructions. He's too much!"
…
Hearing Wei Changqing's words, a commotion broke out among the crowd.
Just a moment ago, Zhang Shi instructed the Demon Cinque Beast to cooperate with him. In the end, you failed to tame it and ended up getting beaten up!
This is your own fault. Now that the other party wants to tame your tamed beast, you actually made such a request and even threw out such a huge reward …
How shameless can you be?
Since it was a beast taming competition, it should be conducted under a fair environment. To do such a thing was unbefitting of a master teacher.
"How embarrassing … How embarrassing!"
The elders of the Zijin Sect didn't expect the genius of their sect to do such a thing and they covered their faces in shame.
What in the world was this …
Even if they were to win, they wouldn't be able to face anyone anymore.
…
"I'll start then!"
Seeing that this fellow was still unwilling to give up and wanted him to try taming his tamed beast, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Roar!"
Roaring furiously, just like the Demon Cinque Beast, Beryline Spirit Beast stomped down on Zhang Xuan.
It had seen how its master had been humiliated earlier, and it was determined to make Zhang shi suffer as well.
However, its cultivation was only at Transcendent Mortal 4-dan primary stage. Compared to Zhang Xuan, it was still a far way off.
Dodging the attack, Zhang Xuan sent a slap over.
Pah!
A resounding slap landed on Beryline Spirit Beast's massive face. Before it could even react, it was already flipped in the air and crashed headfirst into the ground, leaving its two legs twitching non-stop.
Zhang Xuan possessed strength comparable to a Consonant Spirit realm intermediate stage cultivator. His slap carried a strength of more than 2,000,000 ding, and even a Spirit low-tier weapon would shatter. If not for Zhang Xuan going easy on it, it would have been crippled even if it didn't die.
Putting aside resisting, it didn't even have the time to react.
"What?"
"Sending a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan spirit beast to the ground with a single slap?"
"How powerful must that be?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Spirit beasts were born with immense physical strength, and through their powerful physical body and defense, they were no match for those of the same cultivation realm. In other words, this Transcendent Mortal 4-dan primary stage Beryline Spirit Beast was on par with a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan intermediate stage expert.
For such a powerful spirit beast to be smacked headfirst into the ground with a single slap... How powerful must that be?
This was way too fearsome!
Beneath the dueling ring, Wu Tianhao, who had just returned from the dueling ring, saw this sight, and his lips twitched in fright.
He thought that it was just a coincidence that the other party had thrown him out, and as long as he was careful, he would have been fine. But now, he realized that... it was fortunate that he had only thrown him out. If the other party had slapped him like that...
He would probably be lying in the Physician Guild by now. Even if he wasn't dead, he would be beyond recognition...
"You were the one who said that he was weak?" Wu Tianhao turned to his companion and said, "Cut off all ties with him!"
"..." His companion.
...
"That's not right. Even though Zhang Shi's actions showed that he is powerful, but... if he were to beat the other party up, he wouldn't be able to nurture a Favorable Impression of the other party.
"Indeed!"
"If Zhang Shi doesn't have a Loyalty Level as well, just like Wu Tianhao, will the duel end in a draw?"
"Damn it, Zhang Shi should have been the one to win. If it ends in a draw, things will be troublesome!"
After a moment of shock, the crowd came to a realization.
Usually, a beast taming master would take out something that the spirit beast would find irresistible in order to win its Favorable Impression.
If one were to make a move on the other party, it would only make the other party more and more disgusted with it.
As a 4-star beast tamer, Zhang Shi should be well aware of this fact. Why did he make a move on the other party? Furthermore... Why did he strike it so heavily?
If that were to happen, the Beryline Spirit Beast would surely feel disgusted with him. Not only would it fail to win its Loyalty Level, it might even grow even more disgusted with him.
"Haha, let's see how you plan to tame it..."
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to be so reckless as to retaliate against the Beryline Spirit Beast, Wei Changqing's body trembled, and he nearly burst into laughter.
Back then, it had taken him two whole years to tame the Beryline Spirit Beast. He had allowed the other party to choose from all kinds of treasures, even accompanying it on hunts and sleeping together. Only then did it submit to him obediently.
Yet, this fellow actually dealt such a heavy slap. Given the prideful personality of the Beryline Spirit Beast, it would already be a blessing if it didn't tear him apart. Loyalty Level? Dream on!
Wei Changqing didn't win the Loyalty Level of the Demon Cinque Beast, and the other party didn't win the Loyalty Level of the Beryline Spirit Beast either. At the very most, it would be a draw!
In fact... in terms of Favorable Impression Level, he would even win.
Dang!
Just as Wei Changqing was rejoicing, the gong sounded. An incense's time was up.
An incense's time was roughly the area of the Master Teacher Tournament. However, since the time was up, it was time for the victor to be decided.
Since the time was up, it would be too late for him to use any other means. In other words... he was already in an invincible position.
Hmph!
Didn't you say that I could only admit defeat? Didn't you say that I would surely lose?
Now that I have achieved a draw, let's see what else you can say...
The more he thought about it, the more delighted he became. Turning to the young man not too far away, he said proudly, "Zhang Shi, since you didn't tame the Beryline Spirit Beast and I didn't tame the Demon Cinque Beast, why don't we call this a draw?"
"A draw?"
"That's right. Speaking of which, you used force on the Beryline Spirit Beast, instigating its disgust. In terms of Favorable Impression Level, you have already lost..." Wei Changqing said.
Didn't you want to be magnanimous? This was it!
He was clearly the one who had lost, yet he claimed that it was a draw...
"Disgust?"
Just as Wei Changqing was gleeful, Zhang Shi suddenly shook his head and kicked the Beryline Spirit Beast's shaking thigh. "What are you feigning death for? Hurry up and acknowledge me as your master!"
Huala! Roar!
Following which, the Berserk Spirit Beast hurriedly plucked its head out from the ground, and with an excited look on its face, it crawled up to Zhang shi and began rubbing its head against him, as though a pug that had just met its master.
"What?"
Wei Changqing's body froze, and his eyes nearly fell to the ground.
How could this be?
Didn't he just pummel it? How did it acknowledge him as its master?
Can anyone tell me what in the world is going on?
