I Tame Beasts by Feeding

"Yu Changsheng, Yu Changsheng."

’Where the hell are you? That person from Jade Cauldron Peak gave me a name and a portrait, but finding one person among three thousand servants in this Secret Realm... it’s tough, so tough.’

’If he doesn’t die by my hand, but by someone else’s, will I still get the credit? I probably should. All that person wants is for him to be dead, anyway.’

In the forest, Wang Qizheng was crouched down, a dagger in his hand, repeatedly stabbing a servant disciple at his feet as he muttered to himself.

The servant disciple still hadn’t breathed his last despite being stabbed multiple times. With every thrust of the blade, he would vomit a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with struggle, agony, and a plea for death.

Wang Qizheng came from the lowest rungs of society and had scraped by in the slums. By a stroke of luck, he obtained a Cultivation Technique, which allowed him to claw his way up step by step until he finally joined the Wanxiang Sect.

His Spirit Root talent wasn’t actually bad. It couldn’t compare to a True Spirit Root, but it was more potent than an ordinary Mixed Spirit Root. Unfortunately, he started cultivating Immortal Magic too late, which was why he couldn’t directly join the Outer Sect.

However, through ruthless and vicious means, he had carved out a path for himself on the Outer Peak. In less than two years, he broke through to the Qi Refining Fifth Heaven and entered the current selection.

’I hear that Yu Changsheng is a Beast Master. I’ve never killed a Beast Master in my life. I wonder if they’re easy to kill.’

’That person paid so many Spirit Stones, so it must be a difficult task. They even gave me two of these elixirs, Scattered Demon Essence Pills. They’re a real treasure in this Secret Realm.’

Wang Qizheng’s final stab landed on the man’s forehead. The servant disciple’s twitching limbs finally went still, and a smile appeared on his face.

He got up, silently sheathed his dagger, and began to carefully make his way deeper into the forest.

As a hunter, he never underestimated anyone.

"Oh? Elder Zhang, it seems your Overlord Blade Peak is about to receive a fine seed this time. This little fellow is named Wang Qizheng, isn’t he?"

Elder Wan stared at the scene on the screen with great interest.

"His disposition is quite good, but his age is a bit on the high side," Elder Zhang said, glancing at the registration information.

"He’s only twenty. That’s not old. At his age, I myself had only just begun to learn Immortal Magic," Elder Wan said with a grin.

"This is the tenth servant he’s killed. Not bad, not bad at all. He’s ranked near the top. He strikes decisively. It would be even better if he studied the sword."

"Hahaha, Elder Wan, don’t you go trying to snatch a seed from our Overlord Blade Peak. That Wu Shang studies a Sword Control Peak Cultivation Technique, and his performance is also quite good," Elder Zhang said with a laugh.

"His sword is impure, and his heart is not resolute. His good performance is entirely due to the help of two others. He can’t be considered outstanding," Elder Wan said, shaking his head.

"He can make it into the top fifty now, so entering the Outer Sect shouldn’t be a problem. But if he wants to go further, it will be difficult."

"From the looks of it, he seems to be deliberately searching for someone. Could it be that he holds a grudge against a certain servant disciple?" Elder Zhang asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I know a little something about this. It’s most likely related to Huang Suyu." At this, the Elder from Jade Cauldron Peak chuckled, instantly drawing the attention of the other Elders.

Even as Foundation Establishment Great Powers, they all had a heart for gossip.

The surrounding Elders quickly pressed for details, and in the end, they all burst out laughing.

"Yu Changsheng?"

This was the first time Yun Hejing had heard that name.

To think a new seed had appeared for her Beast Taming Peak. In recent years, not many servants had been willing to choose the Beast Taming Peak.

So, out of curiosity, she focused her Divine Sense on the rankings and found the information corresponding to Yu Changsheng’s Talisman Jade.

A scene unfolded before her eyes.

"Hm?"

While searching for enemies, Yu Changsheng stopped and frowned. He felt a sense of being watched with Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense was immense, far surpassing someone at the Qi Refining Peak. Even a cultivator at the first or second layer of Foundation Establishment would be no match for him.

So, he quickly sensed where this feeling of being watched was coming from.

’It’s the Talisman Jade. It’s projecting an image of me to the outside world, like a camera.’

’This feels awful. Should I find a way to block it? No, that won’t work. I’m just a minor servant at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. How could I possibly sense the Talisman Jade’s surveillance? I’d better act normal.’

’Besides, I’m not doing anything shady. If they want to watch, let them watch.’

After his gaze became resolute, Yu Changsheng executed the Wind Travel Skill and flew forward.

Soon, his Divine Sense picked up on new auras.

’Is that... Senior Brother Zhuang?’

Yu Changsheng stopped in surprise.

A thousand meters away, Zhuang Yan was fleeing in a panic, covered in blood. Two servant disciples were in hot pursuit on their swords.

The light from the Magic Sword in Zhuang Yan’s hand was dim, a clear sign it had sustained heavy damage.

"Hahaha, you can’t escape! Surrender now!"

"Hand over your Talisman Jade, and maybe we’ll give you a quick death!"

one of the servant disciples shouted arrogantly. He thrust his Magic Sword forward, sending a streak of cyan Sword Qi whistling toward Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan’s face paled in terror as he scrambled to dodge.

However, the servant disciple’s attack was extremely fast. In an instant, it pierced his arm, sending a spray of blood into the air and nearly severing the limb.

"Ah!"

Zhuang Yan let out a bloodcurdling scream and continued to flee, stumbling and crawling. But at this rate, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind tore toward them from the front, giving them a huge shock.

"The Iron Carving King!"

"Watch out! Dodge!"

The servant disciple in the rear shouted hastily, simultaneously casting a spell with a point of his finger.

The Sword Light collided with the Iron Carving King’s Black Wind Slash and was destroyed in the blink of an eye. The beast’s hard wings, carrying a razor-sharp wind, sliced through his companion.

The servant disciple’s head flew off, spun through the air, and then landed on the ground. Blood gushed out, staining a large patch of earth red.

The Iron Carving King flapped its wings, letting out an excited cry.

"How could this happen?!"

The situation had reversed in a flash. Just then, a fireball flew in from a distance, startling him into a hasty retreat.

"You’re pretty quick to dodge." Yu Changsheng walked out slowly from the dense forest, a broad smile on his face as he sized up his opponent.

’Qi Refining Sixth Layer, a Sword Cultivator from Sword Control Peak, and his reaction speed is extremely fast. No wonder he could chase down Zhuang Yan.’

If Yu Changsheng hadn’t launched a sneak attack, he probably couldn’t have killed that Sword Cultivator instantly.

But now that only one was left, things were much simpler.

"A Beast Master!"

Du Yinghao stared at the Iron Carving King, his expression ugly.

A Demon Beast of the same Realm, plus two other Cultivators nearby. His heart sank to rock bottom.

He had thought victory was in his grasp, but he never expected such a sudden turn of events.

Beast Masters were generally weak because their beasts were difficult to raise. Since they were all servants, they had even fewer resources to spend on their beasts.

How on earth could the Beast Master before him afford to raise an Iron Carving King?!

’What should I do? Should I retreat?’

Du Yinghao glanced at Zhuang Yan, his heart filled with unwillingness, then steeled himself and turned to run.

His own life was more important than a Talisman Jade. It was three against one; the advantage was not his!

But while he wanted to run, Yu Changsheng had no intention of letting him go. He shouted.

"Iron Carving King!"
