I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Forget Wu Shang; even Yun Hejing couldn’t understand why Yu Changsheng’s Divine Sense was so powerful.

A Beast Master’s Divine Sense was indeed stronger than that of a Cultivator at the same Realm, but this strength was typically only ten to twenty percent greater. For someone like Yu Changsheng to be several times stronger was simply absurd.

’Just what level has this boy reached in his Cultivation of the Refining God Technique?’

A sudden thrill went through Yun Hejing.

The art of the Beast Master had been in decline for a hundred years. Golden Core True Masters were becoming fewer and fewer, and in the last decade, she was the only new Foundation Establishment Great Power.

If this continued, Beast Taming Peak might even be disbanded.

And yet, this boy before her, merely fifteen or sixteen years old, had already cultivated the Refining God Technique to a level even she couldn’t fathom. His talent as a Beast Master was clearly exceptional, perhaps even surpassing all the previous Peak Masters!

He could be the hope for Beast Taming Peak’s revival!

At this thought, Yun Hejing grew a little excited. She secretly glanced at the Golden Core Elders beside her. Seeing their furrowed brows and strange expressions, she felt a great sense of relief.

As soon as she had discovered Yu Changsheng’s extraordinariness, she had secretly cut off the feed for the later scenes.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm belonged to Beast Taming Peak, and her Divine Sense was stronger than the others. Thus, she had been able to sever the connection to the feed without anyone noticing, preventing the other Elders from seeing Yu Changsheng’s outrageous performance later on.

It wasn’t that Yun Hejing was judging noble men by her own petty standards. Within the same sect, the Five Peaks competed, and it wasn’t uncommon for disciples to fight and kill each other in the shadows. Beast Taming Peak had always been the weakest. Now that a genius had finally appeared, what if he were to die prematurely?

So, it was best to protect him by concealing his abilities for now.

’After he comes out, I’ll take him to Master and ask him to accept the boy as a Direct Disciple!’ Yun Hejing thought to herself.

Based on Yu Changsheng’s performance so far, passing the selection should be no problem, unless some accident occurred.

Just then, the Foundation Establishment Elder from Magic Peak turned and asked.

"Strange, the image from inside seems to have become blurry."

"It looks like something has happened. Elder Yun, do you know what’s going on?"

Yun Hejing chuckled. "Perhaps the Demon Beasts inside destroyed the Magic Spell Seal."

The Foundation Establishment Elder from Magic Peak stared at her and said, "The Spell Seal I set cannot be broken by a Tier One Demon Beast. Unless someone..."

"It seems something really has gone wrong inside!"

Suddenly, the Elder from Overlord Blade Peak interrupted, "Quick, look at Wang Qizheng’s feed!"

"What’s happening? A Demon Beast riot? A Beast Tide?"

"What did that brat do to have so many Demon Beasts chasing him!"

"I... I think I saw him throw something. At first, it subdued a few Tier One Peak Demon Beasts, but then the roars attracted other Demon Beasts, and it ended up like this."

The Elder from Jade Cauldron Peak frowned deeply. "It might be some kind of Elixir..."

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm isn’t like the wilderness. Using that kind of Elixir in here will provoke the hatred of the other Demon Beasts. All the beasts living here know each other; one roar will be answered by ten thousand."

"This is bad. What should we do? Elder Wan, do you think we should end the selection here?" the Overlord Blade Peak Elder asked, turning his head.

The chaotic scene inside also left the Magic Peak Elder and Yun Hejing stunned.

"Maybe we should end it now..." Yun Hejing said nervously.

She hadn’t expected an accident to happen so quickly. It had caught her off guard, and she could only hope the selection would end soon so she could leave with Yu Changsheng.

But Elder Wan was in charge of this selection. If he didn’t call for a stop, it would be difficult for the other Elders to object.

Elder Wan narrowed his eyes. He saw Wu Shang’s aura disappear from the rankings, then saw several Sword Control Peak disciples die. Coldly, he said, "Continue."

"If this continues, I’m afraid the casualties among the servant disciples will be severe."

"Yes, yes."

The two Elders voiced their opinions, but Elder Wan swept a glance over them, immediately silencing them. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"There are still too many people. We’ll end it in two hours."

"Only those who survive in the face of crisis are the people our Wanxiang Sect needs!"

"As for those who die, they are nothing more than ants."

Elder Wan’s expression was cold, his eyes holding no reverence for life.

Faced with his strong insistence, the other Elders could only nod in agreement.

"Elder Wan is right. Survival is a great challenge. Only those who can overcome it can be considered outstanding."

Yun Hejing’s face was ashen. She clenched her fists, wanting to speak, but in the next second, the aura emanating from Elder Wan suppressed her.

"Then let it be two hours. Give the disciples another two hours," Yun Hejing said with a sigh.

「Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.」

After cleaning up the bodies on the ground, Yu Changsheng looked at Zhuang Yan, whose expression was a bit melancholic, and said, "Senior Brother Zhuang, partings by death will be common from now on. You should get used to it."

"Forget friends killing each other—even brothers or fathers and sons turn on one another. If you can’t accept this, the path of Cultivation will be very difficult to walk."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan looked up at the younger boy’s face and gave a bitter smile.

"I know. I actually understand it all."

"Once you set foot on the path of Cultivation, there’s no turning back."

He took a deep breath and composed himself. "Let’s go," he said. "We still have to work hard to kill Demon Beasts, kill people, and get Talisman Jades and Sect Contribution."

Yu Changsheng nodded. Then, as if he’d thought of something, he took out half of the Talisman Jades he had and handed them to Zhuang Yan.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, take these Talisman Jades. With these, becoming an Outer Disciple won’t be a problem."

Zhuang Yan looked at him in astonishment. "But these can all be exchanged for Sect Contribution! If you give them to me, won’t you..."

Yu Changsheng took out his remaining Talisman Jades and smiled. "These are enough for me. Besides, I don’t want to rush to first place. That would be too conspicuous."

"Sometimes, it’s more meaningful for me to hide my strength a little. As for Sect Contribution, there will be plenty of time to earn it after becoming an Outer Disciple."

Zhuang Yan looked at him deeply, then nodded heavily. "Thank you."

"I owe you more and more."

In the end, he accepted the Talisman Jades from Yu Changsheng.

Just as the two were about to head deeper into the Secret Realm, a series of beastly roars came from the distant forest, followed by the sound of countless Demon Beasts stampeding.

Hearing the roars of these Demon Beasts, the expressions of both men changed.

Yu Changsheng’s face grew grave. "It seems the Demon Beasts are rioting. We need to retreat immediately, or we’ll be caught in the Beast Tide and won’t be able to escape!"

With that, he mounted the Iron Carving King and pulled Zhuang Yan up with him, flying into the sky.

But they had only flown a few meters when they heard the roars behind them. Looking back, they saw a black tide of shadows whistling past—all of them Tier One Demon Beasts.

There were at least several hundred of them, and there were likely more behind.

And at the very front of the stampede was a Cultivator. He shot past them, his gaze sweeping over Yu Changsheng before suddenly lighting up.

"Found you!"
