Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 721: Chapter 319: The Truth About the Flood! The Oral Decree of the Legend of the Holy Dragon!_3

For no apparent reason, Su Ping suddenly remembered something he had seen before. Out of the blue, he asked, "By the way, President Qin, do you know of Meng Huangliang?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Erlong was slightly taken aback. "Meng Huangliang? Isn’t he the most notorious spy from Dragon Nation who infiltrated Eagle Country over the past few decades?"

"Yes! That’s the one. Do you know him?" Su Ping’s most vivid memory from browsing the Hall of Fame level Super-Rank official website was precisely the Enter Dream, a Super-Rank Psychic Element Skill possessed by that individual. It was a Super-Rank Skill he was quite interested in.

Unfortunately, Qin Erlong shook his head. "I don’t know much about him! I only know that one of his ace Pet Beasts is a Dream Butterfly that has completed its Evolution! As for the rest, including how that Super-Rank Skill underwent Cultivation, I have no idea."

Speaking of this, Su Ping deliberately glanced around. Then, putting on a bit of a show, he managed to conjure a soundproof barrier with his strained spiritual power. "Old Qin, is that Meng Huangliang still alive?"

Old Qin seemed to have anticipated Su Ping’s question and shook his head. "Well, not only do I not know, but it’s likely that Ah Sang doesn’t know either. Eagle Country has claimed multiple times to have assassinated him, but the exact details are probably only known to the officials in charge of the affair and the person involved."

Su Ping frowned slightly, visibly disappointed. But he soon reflected that he might have been aiming too high. Let alone a Hall Super Grade Skill, under the current circumstances, even getting Feifei to break through and complete its Evolution is proving difficult.

Remembering this, Su Ping patted his chest and confidently declared, "No worries! I have confidence that my two Pet Beasts can face the three Pet Beasts of other Beast Tamers!"

"It’s not that simple. Do you think the young Beast Tamers who stand out from the entire country are like these Ferocious Beasts waiting to be slaughtered?" Qin Erlong shook his head helplessly, but he didn’t really mind.

Perhaps, for other young Beast Tamers, the Young Beast Tamer Assessment Competition is proof of their success and fame. But for Su Ping, it’s just icing on the cake. His achievements no longer needed affirmation from the competition.

Su Ping and Qin Erlong had not seen each other for several days but had enjoyed the reunion immensely.

However, at that particular moment, elsewhere, things were clearly not so peaceful.

The youthful figure of the Ray Saint stared intently at the two figures before him. His eyes twitched continuously; the substantial expenditure of spiritual power was almost too much for him to bear.

Before him, his first Main Pet, the ’Thunderwing Demon’, the evolutionary body of a Starspotted Rayfish, was now covered with scars. Not only that, but even the ’Water Dragon’—which had reached Emperor Peak Level and served as his main reward for Evolution—had a form that seemed somewhat unstable. This attested to the ferocity of the battle that had just occurred.

If he was in such a state, the two figures before him weren’t faring much better. One of the Sea King Yaksha’s arms was broken, and the giant crocodile had a deep, bone-exposing wound on its back, along with charred Scale Armor.

"Speak! What is your true purpose for invading Dragon Nation! As Spirit Saint Level aquatic Ferocious Beasts, to which forbidden nation-state within the Endless Sea Domain do you belong, and which Great Sage do you serve?" The Ray Saint’s voice, though young, was filled with severity at that moment, sending a chill down the spines of those two Spirit Saint Level beings.

Are these human Beast Tamers really that strong? they wondered. With just one Saint Level evolutionary body, he’s making it difficult for both of us to resist.

But at this moment, even if it means sacrificing our lives, we cannot retreat! The two Ferocious Beasts looked back at the blood-red lake churning behind them. They gritted their teeth, prepared to fight to the death.

However, just then, an ethereal voice rang out again, "Stop."

The figures all looked up. At this moment, in the sky above, another human had appeared. This made the nearby Sea King Yaksha and the giant crocodile tense up. The strength of human Beast Tamers was formidable. For the two of them, with their combined abilities, holding back one such Beast Tamer was already a remarkable feat. If another were to arrive, they wouldn’t even need to do much; merely disrupting the ritual behind them would spell an unimaginable loss.

The Ray Saint was slightly startled, then immediately overjoyed. "Lady Yun Sheng? You’ve arrived so quickly?"

After realizing something was amiss, the Ray Saint had naturally sent a message to Dragon Nation immediately. Unexpectedly, the one to arrive first was this Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng was not considered an old, established Holy Spirit, but she was also absolutely not comparable to someone like him, who had only recently been promoted to the Spirit Saint Level. To say nothing else, the very fact that Yun Sheng possessed two Spirit Saint Level Pet Beasts was proof enough of her strength.

However, Yun Sheng, wearing a veil, showed no intention of taking action. Instead, she looked interestedly at the lake behind them. Then, after glancing at the extremely tense Sea King Yaksha and the giant crocodile, she said with a smile, "How goes the resurrection of the Water Venerable?"

Upon hearing this, the two Spirit Saint Level Ferocious Beasts glanced at each other, both seeing shock in the other’s eyes. "Who are you, and how do you know..."

"Dragon Country, Yun Sheng—Feng Caiyu. Hmm, the Legendary Lord suggested I change my surname to ’Feng’ for more impact, but I think a name is just a code."

"Lady Yun Sheng, what exactly does this mean?" The Ray Saint frowned and looked at Yun Sheng.

The latter smiled faintly, gestured to prevent him from speaking further, and then spoke calmly, "Rest assured, Dragon Nation has long since ceased to be what it was before. This resurrection of the Water Venerable you creatures are covertly preparing, which seems like a top-secret major event to you, is as transparent as daylight to Dragon Nation, and also considered an insignificant matter."

"Presumably, you also sensed the revival of the Flame Venerable after New Year’s Day. Hence, you thought the time was ripe and concocted this self-directed farce! However, the truth is..." At this point, Yun Sheng continued with a solemn tone, "The Legend of the Holy Dragon decrees: The revival of the Water Venerable is an event fitting for this millennial era. The tribal Totem war between water and fire on the Nine Provinces three thousand years ago, replaying today, is a joyous spectacle. It is also destiny that this reoccurs on Dragon Nation soil."

"However, this invasion from the Eastern Sea, given the lack of major casualties, will be considered a military exercise. Once the Water Venerable is revived, present reparations, and the matter will be dropped. If, after this, you once again use the insignificant Sea God’s Will to incite schools of fish to invade our Dragon Country’s territory on a large scale, then for the Water Venerable’s death this very day, there will be no need for the Flame Venerable to act."

As her words fell, spoken in Serpentine Script, they reverberated in the minds of the two Ferocious Beasts like a great bell, leaving them stunned and unable to recover their wits for a moment. In their eyes, the deed they had undertaken was exceedingly secretive. In fact, they believed that awaiting the resurrection of this so-called ’Water Venerable’, then uniting the entire Endless Sea Domain, regrouping their forces, and counterattacking the vast land of Dragon Country Jiuzhou, were all viable scenarios.

Yet now, at this moment, the nonchalant woman before them had spoken words that almost shattered their beastly convictions. The highest echelons of Dragon Nation had known all along, yet they never cared? The so-called revivals of the Flame Venerable and Water Venerable, the conflict between water and fire from millennia ago, are merely a ’joyous spectacle’ to the current Dragon Nation?

Such words were utterly demoralizing. They had no reason not to believe them. The reason was simple: the ritual behind them was still underway. If this woman before them—let alone exerting her full effort—merely had the Spirit Saint Level ’Lihuo Colorful Phoenix’ beneath her take action, the entire ritual would have been completely in vain. But the woman did not do so, and it was precisely because of this that the two Ferocious Beasts felt an indescribable sensation.

Are we to scoff at the Legend of the Holy Dragon of Dragon Country and Dragon Country itself for their overwhelming arrogance? they thought. But right now, we truly don’t dare; provoking her could bring consequences we can’t afford.

Luckily, Yun Sheng seemed to have no wish to continue entangling with them. After glancing once more at the water figure slowly forming in the lake behind them, she said, "Alright, tell those fish swarming to their deaths to calm down. There are still other steps for the Water Venerable’s resurrection, aren’t there? Ray Saint and I will not tarry longer. But remember the Legendary Lord’s instructions—when the Water Venerable is resurrected, be sure to carefully consider the reparations you owe Dragon Nation."

With that, not waiting for the two Ferocious Beasts to speak again, Yun Sheng smiled faintly and, along with the still bewildered Ray Saint, both mounted the Lihuo Colorful Phoenix and soared into the sky. They left behind only the small island, battered and broken, yet with its central lake still stable, as well as the two Spirit Saint Level Ferocious Beasts, their faces etched with complex expressions.
