Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 527: Chapter 189: Spirit Ruins Pond (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

Lin Su’s circumstances were all too familiar to Yan Hongyu, the eldest prince.

He even knew more than Zhou Pingluan.

To have Lin Su represent the Danyan Kingdom in battle, the royal family had indeed bled a great deal.

Such a person, one couldn’t afford to offend, but instead should seek to build a good relationship.

After teaching his foolish younger brother a lesson, upon entering the battlefield of Tianjiao, looking for an opportunity to ingratiate himself with Lin Su seemed like a good choice.

“Makes sense,” Zhou Pingluan nodded slightly, “let’s do that then.”

Their secret talk concluded, Yan Hongyu turned his gaze to an empty space, lost in contemplation.

By his side, Zhou Pingluan’s lips buzzed as he softly conversed with the Zhang Family brothers behind him.

Further back, Zhao Jiuming, Qi Mei, and Jiang Yunbao stood together.

They hadn’t known each other before, but with the Martial Institute and the Imperial City folk sticking together, the three of them had no choice but to join forces.

“Quite interesting,” Zhao Jiuming said with a playful look on his face, “I had heard that the eldest prince and the third prince were at odds. It seems to be true. I’m afraid this trip to the Spirit Ruins Pond won’t be peaceful.”

“That’s common for the royal family,” Qi Mei responded calmly, his expression unflustered, “I am rather curious about that Beast Tamer named Lin Su, though. Have you heard about that?”

“That incident? What incident?” Zhao Jiuming raised an eyebrow, “Do tell?”

“Lin Su can merge as one with his guardian beast, unleashing even greater strength. That’s why he has the capability to suppress other Beast Tamers of the same rank,” Qi Mei said meaningfully while casting a glance towards Lin Su.

“Merge as one with his guardian beast, suppress the same rank Beast Tamers?” Zhao Jiuming’s eyes filled with surprise, “How powerful can that be? More powerful than martial arts?”

“I don’t know about that. He doesn’t seem to have fought with martial arts masters,” Qi Mei shook his head, “Why don’t you spar with him?”

“Let’s not, I’m only at the third level of Nayuan Realm right now. Whether he merges or not, I wouldn’t be able to beat him,” Zhao Jiuming candidly shook his head, refusing without hesitation, “Maybe when I reach the seventh or eighth level of Nayuan Realm, I could give it a try.”

“Hey, tight-lipped one.” Zhao Jiuming suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Jiang Yunbao, who had been silent beside them, “Aren’t you a martial fanatic? Why don’t you give it a try?”

“My name is not tight-lipped, it’s Jiang Yunbao,” Jiang Yunbao’s voice was low and hoarse, carrying a wildness akin to beasts, “Besides, I enjoy sparring with others for practice, not seeking death. That guy gives me a dangerous vibe. I won’t make a move against him.”

“Fine then,” Zhao Jiuming shrugged, then his expression became slightly stern as he used his power to communicate through voice transmission, “Nevermind that, did the eldest prince approach the two of you yesterday?”

“He did approach me,” Qi Mei nodded slightly.

“He approached me too,” Jiang Yunbao spoke calmly.

“Seems like he talked to us about the same thing.” Zhao Jiuming chuckled, a cold light flickering in his eyes, “So, what do the two of you think about it?”

“Before we answer, why don’t you tell us your thoughts? What do you think about the eldest prince’s proposal?” Qi Mei glanced at Zhao Jiuming, speaking calmly.

“Alright, I’ll go first,” Zhao Jiuming’s face grew serious, “The Tianjiao battlefield is full of opportunities, but it’s also fraught with dangers. Danyan’s power there isn’t strong, so sticking together makes sense. However, if the eldest prince expects us to submit to him, he’s delusional.”

“Looks like you disagree,” Qi Mei said with a hint of a smile in his eyes, “My opinion is the same. We can travel together, but submit? In his dreams!”

“And what about you, brother Yunbao?” Zhao Jiuming looked at Jiang Yunbao.

“If I was willing to agree, I wouldn’t be without a faction till now,” Jiang Yunbao stated calmly, “I’m used to being independent. After entering the Tianjiao battlefield, once I reach the fifth or sixth level of Nayuan Realm, I’ll operate alone.”

“Then how about the three of us stick together?” Zhao Jiuming’s eyes flashed with a suggestion, “The students of the Martial Institute tend to look down on us family scions, and the Imperial City’s four are so aggressive, demanding our submission. We might as well form a trio for mutual support.”

“Sure,” Qi Mei spoke calmly.

Both of their gazes then turned to Jiang Yunbao.

Jiang Yunbao was silent for a moment, “Seventh level.”

“That works,” Zhao Jiuming smiled.

By the time Jiang Yunbao reached the seventh level of the Nayuan Realm, the two of them would probably be about there as well.

By then, when Jiang Yunbao left, the two of them would also have the strength to stand on their own.

As everyone was chatting, a giant eagle descended from the sky.

“My young friends, thank you for waiting,” said a middle-aged man in golden robes standing on the back of the giant eagle. He was quite polite to the twelve people about to enter the battlefield of prodigies.

Although his strength was far above everyone else’s.

But these were the prodigies of the Great Yan Kingdom entering the battlefield, not to be underestimated.

Everyone quickly denied any inconvenience and took their places on the back of the giant eagle, ready to head to the Spirit Ruins Pond.

The giant eagle soared upwards shortly after.

Sitting on the back of the giant eagle, Lin Su curiously looked at the monarch-level giant eagle below and turned his head to quietly inquire, “Brother Yan, is the third backer a Beast Tamer?”

From the conversation just now, he had learned that the man in the golden robes was a third backer of the royal family.

“No.” Before Yan Susen could speak, the third backer, who had also heard Lin Su’s voice, volunteered with a laugh, “Lin Su, my young friend, you misunderstand.”@@novelbin@@

“The backers of the royal family’s sanctuary are all at the Sky Soaring Realm in martial cultivation and are not Beast Tamers.”

“Then this is…” Lin Su curiously pointed at the giant eagle beneath them.

“Martial warriors are unable to make a Guardian Beast Contract with mythical beasts, but mythical beasts are intelligent. To subdue them and have them obey orders through force is still possible,” the third backer patted the giant eagle below him, “This giant eagle was personally subdued by me to serve as a mount.”

Is that even possible?

Lin Su realized.

Right, martial warriors have the power to suppress mythical beasts, so aside from killing them, there’s naturally the option to subdue them.

Mythical beasts subdued in this manner might not coordinate in battle without a Guardian Beast Contract, but using them as mounts for everyday travel is no problem.

Having cleared the doubts in his mind, Lin Su started to chat quietly with Yan Susen.

Before long, the body of the giant eagle slowly descended.

They had arrived at an extremely secluded valley. Inside the valley, mists billowed and swirled aloft.

In the center of the valley, from within an unfathomable pool, endless silvery-white radiance sprang forth, illuminating the mountainside and bathing it all in a silvery-white glow.

Without needing any introduction, Lin Su already knew that this deep pool was their destination.

The Spirit Ruins Pond.
