Chapter 1162 - 1162 372 What the Enemy Wants
1162: Chapter 372: What the Enemy Wants 1162: Chapter 372: What the Enemy Wants Cultivators of the Beast Taming Technique are not non-existent, but they are extremely rare, even rarer than Rune Masters.Places like the Near Sea Archipelago, due to constant battles with the Sea Clan, have traditions of capturing members of the Sea Clan, imprisoning their true forms, setting restrictions, destroying their sensibilities, and using them as guards for the islands.
It is an attempt at maximizing the potential value from the impoverished Sea Clan.
However, that can hardly be considered as the Beast Taming Technique, as it is no different from imprisoning slaves.
True orthodox Beast Taming involves mutual understanding and connection between humans and Foreign Beasts.
Their relationship is that of partners and comrades.
This technique has a long history, tracing back even to the Ancient Times.
In the Ancient Times, there were too few Cultivators with Natural Dao Veins within the Human Race, resulting in very lackluster combat capabilities.
Therefore, ancestors created the Beast Taming Technique to domesticate Foreign Beasts using the technique for the use of their tribes, boosting their combat power.
In a short time, the added combat power from the Foreign Beasts was significant and thus became popular at the time.
This was also one of the countless trials by the ancestors during trying times.
However, the problem lies in the fact that common wild beasts almost never have the capability to interfere in Transcendent-level battles, and Beasts with Transcendent Power are rare.
Moreover, these Foreign Beasts are generally powerful and many even possess intelligence, making them very difficult to tame.
Legendary Legal Beasts such as Xie Zhi can also be considered as Foreign Beasts.
In the Ancient Times, those considered as “Foreign Beasts” often possessed some form of divinity, even qualifying them to be referred to as Divine Beasts.
The art of Beast Taming usually involved forming bonds with the descendants of these powerful Foreign Beasts.
As epochs passed, they went from “uncommon” to “rare,” and eventually almost extinct.
Thus, the Beast Taming Technique fell into obscurity.
Later, based on the research of Channel-opening Pills, the Human Race ancestors creatively bred a new group called “Demons,” to supplement the source of Channel-opening Pills.
True Demons have Transcendent combat power, not inferior to some Foreign Beasts.
As breeding techniques continually improved, the power of these Demons could also be enhanced.
Many believe that the art of Beast Taming might thus be revived.
But the most realistic issue is…
The more powerful the Demon, the higher the quality of the Channel-opening Pill.
The fundamental purpose of the Beast Taming Technique is to enhance Transcendent Power, but Demons and human Cultivators are absolutely incomparable.
Survival of the fittest, that’s all it is.
Throughout the long history of cultivation, countless Cultivation Methods have been phased out, and the Beast Taming Technique is merely one of them.
When later generations mention it, they can’t help sighing, but that’s as far as it goes.
Speaking of Foreign Beasts themselves, only some rare bloodlines of Foreign Beasts are still struggling to be passed down in the present world, such as the Giant Turtle of Heaven Blessed Nation.
But they are too rare.
The art of compassionate puppeteering is already a remarkable accomplishment, whether it be the Mechanized Iron Men Red Heaven Slave, or Bait Tiger, Chain Snake; these are not something an ordinary Mo Gate cultivator can create.
And he who also practices this Beast Taming Technique has also reached an extremely profound realm.
This Single-clawed Ghost Face Bat Rat that was trained is extremely well-tamed and possesses a shockingly strong innate ability, immediately defeating Lin Xian upon entering.
From the fact that the generals of the Divine Strategy Army did not intervene, the tamed Foreign Beast under Compassion must be counted within the quota of five puppets, not a breach of rules.
Qiao Lin outside the arena was inexplicably shocked.
He even forgot to transmit his voice, muttering, “Compassion…
so strong!”
Indeed, this battle was unexpectedly splendid.
In what many expected to be a one-sided battlefield, it turned out to be full of twists and turns.
Lin Xian’s unfettered Divine Skills, combined with the later displayed Sword Skill of tremendous killing power, could metaphorically split mountains and sever seas effortlessly.
Had it not been for meeting an opponent like Compassion, he would have definitely had a chance to advance to the finals.
The combination of these two powers holds an extremely terrifying potential.
Jiang Wang is very certain that if Lin Xian could develop these two powers to their current zenith, he might even have the qualifications to contend for the top spot at the Yellow River Gathering!
It’s just too bad that he clearly lacks experience; Rong Country has kept him too sheltered, thus depriving him of many opportunities to grow.
Of course, had his reputation been established earlier, he might not have reached today.
The strength of a person is determined by their opponents.
It is because Lin Xian is so powerful that the force displayed by Touching Mercy is even more shocking.
If someone as strong as Lin Xian cannot turn the tide of defeat, one can imagine how strong Touching Mercy must be.
No wonder he dares to challenge the prodigy of Qi Country with the determination to reclaim honor for Summer Country.
It’s just a pity…
Jiang Wang sighed lightly: “He has no chance now.”
During the selection phase, so early on, Touching Mercy encountered Lin Xian and was forced to reveal most of his tactics.
All three puppets were destroyed, and even if they could be quickly repaired, they have already been thoroughly understood by others.
And the transcendent ability of the Single-clawed Ghost Face Bat Rat was also revealed.
Touching Mercy probably has at most one more puppet or a slot for a Foreign Beast left, leaving too little room.
On the battlefield, this is called “losing strategic depth,” and defeat is already certain.
In an event like the Yellow River Gathering, he hasn’t left the stage yet, but the details of his spectacular battle are likely already known to all strong opponents.
But for Jiang Wang,
He does not rejoice at losing this powerful opponent,
Instead, he regrets that there may not be an opportunity to face someone endowed with such strange skills.
Qiao Lin didn’t understand at first and was still worried about the strength of Summer Country’s prodigy.
But hearing what Jiang Wang said, and seeing the ugly expression on Touching Mercy’s face, he could roughly understand.
At this moment, Touching Mercy stood alone on the platform, his face showing no joy of victory.
The Single-clawed Ghost Face Bat Rat hovered beside him.
Lin Xian fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
The three puppets that were chopped down by the hatchet lay scattered around Lin Xian.
Silence lingered for a long time.
Many people only then realized belatedly that the Yellow River Gathering allows life and death battles…
Moreover, being as weak as Rong Country, to stay low-profile, Lin Xian came alone to the competition.
This means that the unconscious Lin Xian, unable to surrender actively, now has his fate in Touching Mercy’s hands.
Would Touching Mercy kill this opponent who destroyed his puppets, and cut off his hope in the Yellow River Gathering?
“Lord Jiang,” Qiao Lin swallowed and communicated telepathically: “Will he kill Lin Xian?”
After such a marvelous battle, Jiang Wang’s mood was very calm, he countered, “What do you hope he will do?”
Qiao Lin thought for a moment and said, “Kill.”
The reasoning is simple; Lin Xian is the pride of Rong Country.
Rong Country is lying right beside Qi Country.
A small country like Rong Country, having hidden such a talent so deeply, shows clear vigilance and resistance towards Qi Country.
If Lin Xian were to die, it could be said to sever the last hope of Rong Country.
This, of course, would be welcomed by Qi Country.
Jiang Wang said: “So Touching Mercy will not kill him.”
On the field, Touching Mercy looked at the fallen Lin Xian, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
Jianfeng Mountain, this meaningful mountain, was “granted in order”.
Summer Country has already become a laughingstock of the world.
He, as one of the representatives of Summer Country, participated in this Yellow River Gathering wanting to reclaim some honor for Summer Country.
Yet, hindered by a mere cultivator from Rong Country, he exposed many of his secrets during the selection phase.
How could he not hate?
But he remained silent for a while, finally only saying to the Divine Strategy Army general hosting at the side: “The result is decided, right?”
That Divine Strategy Army general, expressionless, raised his hand and declared, “The victor on the Geng platform, Touching Mercy from Summer Country!”
