Beast Taming Patrol

Lin Su looked around and only then did he realize there were only a few Beast Tamers standing beside Mu Yuxing.

According to what Mu Yuxing had told him before, this time in the pre-selection competition, there were a total of seventy age-eligible Beast Tamers from the southern domain, among whom forty-one were elites and twenty-nine were masters.

It seemed he had indeed arrived early.

The other Beast Tamers, upon seeing Lin Su appear, also showed a touch more curiosity in their eyes.

After all, Lin Su had won first place for Yongnan City in the previous configuration competition, so he wasn't completely unknown in the Beast Taming Union.

However, Lin Su always went directly to the Beast Taming Tower or visited Mu Yuxing and rarely interacted with other Beast Tamers within the union, so they knew little about him.

Lin Su gave a slight nod and a polite smile to everyone, then suddenly remembered something, "Senior Mu, there should be Beast Taming Towers in the imperial city as well, right? Are the towers there the same as ours? Can we also challenge them?"

"The Beast Taming Towers are the same everywhere. As long as you're a Beast Tamer, you can challenge after paying the fee," Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, "In the imperial city, there are even more towers; just one city has four Beast Taming Towers."

"That's good." Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief.

The upcoming pre-selection competition might last about a month, and he would have to stay in the imperial city for that time, unless he was eliminated early.

Since the imperial city's Beast Taming Towers were also accessible, the daily training of his two pets wouldn't be affected.

Wait a minute...

The imperial city has four Beast Taming Towers?

Lin Su's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Senior, does that mean I can challenge the Beast Taming Towers four times a day in the imperial city?"

Challenging each of the four Beast Taming Towers once a day, that makes four times.

Seems there's no problem?

"No, that won't work," Mu Yuxing's expression became slightly odd, "All the Beast Taming Towers follow a common rule. Once you've challenged a Beast Taming Tower, you would not be able to activate any of them for the rest of the day."

"All the Beast Taming Towers come from the same source?" Lin Su blinked.

That was beyond his knowledge.

"Yes." Since they were waiting for others anyway, Mu Yuxing didn't mind explaining a bit more, "The Beast Taming Towers were constructed by an immortal-rank pet beast that mastered the Illusion and Reality Rules. Therefore, the source of the Towers' dreamscape and rules is ultimately that creature."

"Although the Beast Taming Towers were obtained by our Dayan Kingdom from the Yun Hao Empire through the trade of significant resources, the reality is..." Mu Yuxing's voice trailed off slightly, "neither our Dayan Kingdom nor the Yun Hao Empire possess an immortal-rank pet beast."

"The immortal-rank pet beast that constructed the Beast Taming Towers, is it with the Immortal Phoenix Sect?" Lin Su asked curiously, his eyes widening.

The Immortal Phoenix Sect, one of the six major upper sects, and the only one founded by a legendary Beast Tamer.

Aside from its name, Lin Su knew absolutely nothing about this mysterious power.

"Correct." Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, "The Beast Taming Towers are actually one of the rewards given by the Immortal Phoenix Sect to those Beast Tamers from the Yun Hao Empire who get recruited after entering the inter-domain competition. Our Dayan Kingdom has not yet managed to have a Beast Tamer recruited by the Immortal Phoenix Sect, so we could only shamelessly trade for these towers with the Yun Hao Empire."

At this point, Mu Yuxing shook his head, his expression growing somewhat dim.

"I see." Lin Su nodded lightly, his curiosity about the sect named the Immortal Phoenix Sect growing deeper.

An immortal-grade pet beast had created so many Beast Tamer Towers, benefiting countless Beast Tamers. Since there were legendary Beast Tamers on the other side, Lin Su believed that the Immortal Phoenix Sect's immortal-grade pet beasts were definitely more than one.

However, he soon remembered that he had something to ask of Mu Yuxing.

"Senior, my Qiuqiu and Monarch Power are about to breakthrough to Tier III..."

"Hmm." Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, and a massive transmission array interwoven with purple and black light appeared under his feet. The array flashed away, and a giant bird with golden feathers that could cover the sky and sun like a small hill appeared beside him.

The Golden Feathered Vulture tilted its head, its narrow golden pupils locking onto Qiuqiu and Monarch Power beside Lin Su. The next moment, invisible ripples passed over them, and both little creatures' faces changed drastically.

Invisible spirit suppression, like a heavy hammer, crashed down upon Qiuqiu and Monarch Power's will, easily shattering, re-condensing, and then shattering their accumulated Monarch Power under the force of a Tier IV Monarch Power.

At the same time, visible ripples of force engulfed them, and the terrifying Emperor Force Field crushed everything around the bodies of Qiuqiu and Monarch Power into tiny pieces, silently breaking and annihilating them, imprisoning the two pet beasts in the void.

Monarch Power and Emperor Force Field.

The killer moves of higher-tier beasts against lower-tier beasts.

Seeing Qiuqiu and Monarch Power struggling in the Emperor Force Field, frozen in the void, he felt moved and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Senior, if I encounter a Beast Tamer with an Emperor species contract during the preliminary competition, how should I deal with it?"

"Are you referring to coping with the Emperor Force Field?" Mu Yuxing pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Apart from countering it with an Emperor Force Field, the only way is for your own strength to surpass that of your opponent, forcibly breaking free from the force field's restraint."

My own strength surpassing theirs...

Lin Su fell silent.

The normal Energy Value of elite-tier Emperor species ranged between ten and twenty thousand, but Beast Tamers who had Emperor species wouldn't lack the resources for cultivation, and it wasn't difficult for their pet beasts to reach or even surpass twenty thousand Bo Wa Energy Value.

Although the concept didn't exist in Shenwu, that didn't stop Lin Su from making such estimations.

Under these circumstances, let alone surpassing, it was very difficult to even catch up to the opponent's strength.

After all, both Qiuqiu and Monarch Power's normal Energy Values were over ten thousand.

So, there's no way to defeat a Beast Tamer with an Emperor species contract?

A slight heaviness began to settle in Lin Su's heart.

"Don't be too disheartened," Mu Yuxing spoke calmly, "It's not that simple for elite-tier Beast Tamers to possess a pet beast of an Emperor species. Instead, it's slightly more common among master-level Beast Tamers."

"Gee... Chee..." (Break...through...)

The somewhat forced voice of Monarch Power reached Lin Su's ears, and as he looked up again, he saw that the Monarch Power radiating from Monarch Power had clearly changed from before.

Under the pressure of the Golden Feathered Vulture, Monarch Power finally took that last step and broke through to Tier III Monarch Power.

Watching the two pet beasts still unable to break the Emperor Force Field but struggling and trying, Lin Su fell silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Is it just an Emperor species?

Along the way, what grand scenes had he not witnessed?

Whether he could win or not, he would find out in the fight!
