Chapter 172 First Encounter Arc 16

Xing Yue immediately held Xing Yuan in front of her. "Elder Mo, please take a look. How should my spirit beast cultivate next?"

"It's already at the late stage of the Earth Realm! I didn't expect the little beast whose race couldn't be discerned before to have such high talent? Where did Yue'er find her?" Mo Feng was shocked after detecting Xing Yuan's cultivation with spiritual energy.

The top few races would probably be no more than this! Mo Feng took it to heart and meticulously formulated a rigorous training plan for Xing Yuan.

Xing Yuan immediately clung tightly to Xing Yue. She refused, absolutely refused. No one would make her cultivate today.

"This spirit beast of yours seems a bit willful!" Mo Feng sighed. "It seems you and she have a very good relationship now. Beast taming should be like this. Forcing spirit beasts to obey their masters is the most foolish way of taming."

Mo Feng's expression carried a hint of disdain, but he soon became troubled. A relationship that was too good also seemed problematic, otherwise, it would lead to willfulness like this.

Xing Yue smiled apologetically and explained, "Elder Mo, please don't mind. We only recently emerged from the secret realm, and she might not be used to it. Tomorrow! We'll start training tomorrow. I'll have a good talk with her."

"Very well! Then I shall take my leave for today." Mo Feng nodded. He had come in a hurry, and there were some things he hadn't prepared sufficiently. He would go back and make arrangements.

After Mo Feng left, Xing Yuan instantly released her grip and jumped aside, her eyes unusually vigilant.

"Good girl, A Yuan, come here. Sister will discuss it with you," Xing Yue coaxed, her tone exceptionally gentle.

"No discussion!" Xing Yuan's attitude was firm. Her childhood was already gone; she couldn't waste her present on this.

If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Xing Yue took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xing Yuan.

Xing Yue bent down and gently stroked Xing Yuan's head. Although Xing Yuan's body remained tense with nervousness, she didn't retreat any further.

"A Yuan, think about it! When A Yuan cultivates to the highest realm in this world, no one will force you to cultivate anymore. And doesn't A Yuan want to experience the feeling of flying on her own? As long as you reach the Heaven Realm, you can not only spread your wings and fly freely, but more importantly, you can shapeshift."

The promises Xing Yue made were grand and enticing. Xing Yuan was momentarily stunned and seriously considered it. It seemed her sister's words made a lot of sense. The benefits of diligent cultivation did seem numerous.

Xing Yuan accepted it in her heart but put on a hesitant appearance. "Then can A Yuan receive a reward from Sister?"

"Of course! Whatever reward A Yuan wants, Sister can promise you," Xing Yue chuckled, brimming with confidence.

"Really?" Xing Yuan's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Xing Yuan immediately took out a message stone. "Sister, say it again. I want to record it as evidence. What if you don't admit it later?"

The clever Xing Yuan was online, her eyes sparkling as she waited for Xing Yue to speak.

Xing Yue promised, "Alright! I, Xing Yue, guarantee today that as long as A Yuan doesn't slack off during this period and diligently cultivates, I will agree to give A Yuan any reward she desires."

"Alright?" Xing Yue lightly tapped Xing Yuan's forehead. She really was getting harder to fool as she got older.

"Okay! What is my task today? I can start now." Xing Yuan, fueled by excitement, was instantly full of energy.

Xing Yue smiled. "Starting from tomorrow, I'm giving you today off to play. Have fun!"

"Yay!" Xing Yuan cheered and turned to run towards the back mountain. She wanted to find her spirit beast friends to play with.

Spirit Beasts: (ಥ﹏ಥ) It's unnecessary, really. They're perfectly fine on their own. Ahhh! Don't come near me, stay away from me. I never fight.

The next day, Mo Feng arrived with an Ice Ming Beast exuding a chilling aura.

He said with a smile, "I forgot to bring her yesterday. I found her especially for you. Her bloodline concentration is very high, and not only is her attribute compatible, but more importantly, if you form a contract with her, it will be easier to enhance your comprehension of laws and help you touch upon the Divine Realm."

"It's unnecessary! I don't need these..." Xing Yue had only spoken halfway when the Ice Ming Beast and Xing Yuan, who disliked each other at first sight, began to fight.

Xing Yuan was angry because, in her heart, Sister belonged only to her, and she absolutely could not allow other beasts to share Sister with her.

The Ice Ming Beast, on the other hand, recognized this creature who had beaten her a few days ago. Xing Yuan hadn't been idle these past three days; she had been observing the changes within the sect.

She saw the Ice Ming Beast, who was treated like a star. With her arrogant gaze, Xing Yuan was sure she couldn't defeat her, so she directly beat her up, specifically targeting her face. The Ice Ming Beast, whose injuries hadn't fully healed, let out a roar and charged forward upon seeing the culprit.

Mo Feng and Xing Yue: Their expressions were complicated. It seemed these two didn't have a good relationship.

Xing Yue also felt a bit relieved. She had almost forgotten that Xing Yuan was still lacking a spirit beast friend. Xing Yue immediately turned to Mo Feng and said, "Elder Mo, why don't you leave her here? She can be a companion for A Yuan."

"No, I don't want her!" Xing Yuan protested firmly.

"Sister, Sister is the best. I don't want her to stay here. Sister, can you chase her away?" Xing Yuan pouted coquettishly, her tone pitiful.

"Alright~" Xing Yue nodded, and in the next second, she looked at Mo Feng apologetically.

She felt a slight pang of regret. Why had she agreed so easily? Her cultivation of character was clearly not enough.

"Forget it. Spirit beasts generally have territorial awareness. However, if A Yue is willing, she can form a contract with this Ice Ming Beast. Then, because they share the same contract master, they probably won't be so confrontational," Mo Feng said sincerely, hoping Xing Yue would agree.

Xing Yuan's sense of crisis immediately surged. She bared her teeth and dragged him directly into the enemy camp.

Xing Yue shook her head and refused, "No. Cultivation is about relying on one's own abilities. Even if one breaks through by relying on external forces, their realm will be very hollow, at most a pseudo-god. I prefer to rely on my own strength."

"Alright! However, I only have some talent in beast taming. I'm afraid I can't teach you much else." Mo Feng sighed helplessly.

Mo Feng said seriously, "I've discussed it with others. I will come every day this month. If you have any questions about beast taming, you can ask me."

"Okay! Coincidentally, I recently read an ancient text, and there are indeed some points I don't understand. Why don't Elder Mo and I go to the room to discuss it in detail?" Xing Yue made a gesture of invitation.

"Mm." Mo Feng nodded. Answering his disciples' questions was his responsibility as an elder.

After Xing Yue entered the room and casually set up a shielding formation, Xing Yuan immediately cast a covetous gaze at the Ice Ming Beast.

Another great battle began!
