Insufficient balance
The Phantom Blood Dragon reluctantly explained: "The Earthsplit Tiger is an earth-attribute soul beast. A mature Earthsplit Tiger belongs to the middle-tier earth beast, with a special talent for gravity control. This stinky cat has undergone your Soul Mark enhancement, and as long as it's not too unlucky, it should be able to evolve once, reaching upper-tier earth beast or lower-tier heavenly beast. At that time, it should be able to speak human language."
"What is the Beast Pattern?" Zheng Feng asked.
Yōu Míng Xuě Lóng: “………”
One asked and one answered in the following time. Zheng Feng asked out everything he didn't understand.
......
Zheng Feng didn't mind his own tribal tattoos and beast totem origins, casually sighing: "Looks like my life is pretty awesome."
Zheng Feng was very satisfied with the answers from You Ming Xue Long, and smiled as he said: "Looks like you still have some use after all, at least your brain has a lot of knowledge."
The proud and arrogant tone of the 90-year-old who had reached the pinnacle at 200 years old, and was unmatched for 6000 years, said: "Of course, you can't compare to me in terms of wisdom. You can only make up for it with your innate talent and diligence. Try harder, be a beastmaster worthy of being paired with me."
Zheng Feng had already acknowledged the temporary non-combat ability of You Ming Blood Dragon, and also gave full affirmation to the knowledge in its mind. He himself knew too little about beast taming, having such an 'encyclopedia' by his side was a huge help, even if it didn't increase his combat ability.
Especially when encountering a strange soul beast, if you know its habits, it will be twice the result with half the effort. The only thing that can't be accepted is its arrogant personality and domineering attitude. If one doesn't stop it themselves, they're afraid it will continue to push forward, at which point it won't just be "pushing 3000 years forward, pushing 3000 years backward, a total of 6000 years".
Zheng Feng interrupted its endless boasting and said, "Do you have a name? It can't be that from now on we'll just call you the Nether Blood Dragon."
The originally boastful and talkative Blood Dragon of the Netherworld suddenly sighed, saying: "A name? Heh... perhaps, there was one once."
Zheng Feng felt that he had asked an inappropriate question, so he didn't ask further and continued: "Then let's start a new one, hmm... what should we call it?"
As soon as Zheng Feng said he wanted to give himself a name, it immediately shouted: "I'll be called 'Handsome and elegant, refined and extraordinary, jade tree in the wind, windy and stylish, loved by all, blooming flowers, pear blossoms overwhelming the sea, universe super invincible thunder century beauty young dragon', how's that?"
Zheng Feng completely ignored the opinions of certain Long, suddenly, he saw Ya staring at the swaying tail of You Ming Blood Dragon. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he smiled: "It's decided, from now on you'll be called 'Tail' how about it? Ya, what do you think?"
"Meow~~~~"
It seems that the teeth also agree with this name, Zheng Feng is still very "democratic", two to one. So, the minority obeyed the majority, and the tail's name was decided like this.
After understanding what 'democracy' meant, he knew that appealing was hopeless. He then said: "Youngster, go to the bone frame of my right leg, where I just hid, and dig up a treasure buried in the soil."
Zheng Feng immediately rushed over upon hearing about the treasure, dug open the soil and found a white jade ring. The ring was unaffected by the soil and still sparkled with clarity, exuding an elegant aura. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the ring had an extraordinary hardness that couldn't be compared to any ordinary jade or metal, revealing a majestic air of being naturally formed.
Zheng Feng, who had just obtained the treasure, joked: "The appearance is okay, but I don't know if it's like a certain dragon, which looks good but is useless."
The tail is still impulsive, shouting: "Inexperienced little boy, this is a space ring, don't want it and return it to me."
Zheng Feng's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it was a Space Ring.
The tail glanced at Zheng Feng and said, "Don't think about it, inside is empty. I specially refined it to hold the skeleton."
After knowing there's nothing as he imagined, Zheng Feng didn't seem disappointed and asked: "What about those skeletons? What's the use of putting them away?"
"It's only natural to use it for future resurrection. If we don't have a skeleton by then, we'll have to refine another one, which will consume even more beast soul power and may not be the most suitable one either. Leaving it here means that after we leave, no one will guard it, what if something goes wrong?"
Zheng Feng exclaimed in surprise: "You can still come back to life?"
The tail looked at Zheng Feng with disdain and said: "Nonsense, if you can't revive, why bother signing a contract with me?"
Zheng Feng curiously asked: "Then how did you come back to life?"
"When you become a Holy Beast Master, then it's okay..."
Just what I was going to say.
"Oh, let's put the skeleton away for now and talk about it later! How does this ring work?"
Zheng Feng heard that Sheng Shou Shi was coming, and his hair stood on end. He thought to himself, "That's still far away from me, no need to worry about it for now."
After putting the space ring on his right hand, he waited until Zheng Feng had stored the entire skeleton in the ring before asking, "How big is this ring?"
The tail also seemed to think that it was still far from reviving itself, and replied listlessly: "After the skeleton is put away, there are probably more than ten cubic meters left."
Hearing that there were more than ten cubic meters, Zheng Feng considered whether to go back to Ye Luo City and buy some logistical supplies to put in, just in case. It would be a waste of space if it wasn't used. Yatou sister had said: Wasting anything is the most annoying thing!
......
Zheng Feng slowly walked back to the outer boundary of the enclosure, and the nearby soul beasts seemed to be unaware that the original owner of the mysterious cave had left. Fortunately, this was the case, and he didn't encounter any soul beasts along the way; otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether he could make it out of the Qinghai Forest in time. Today was already the third day, and if he didn't leave soon, regardless of whether he died or not, his test qualification would be cancelled.
On the road, shrubs are dense and can't ride directly to the destination. On the way, Zheng Feng said: "Tail, why did the black beast crystal attract you? And aren't you very weak, even if you can't deal with it, then there won't be any soul beasts that dare to approach your cave?"
"The Stinky Cat will be attracted, and it should have something to do with the owner of that Beast Crystal being a Tiger-type Soul Beast. I remember that Beast Crystal was from a Yumeng Tiger, an Upper-tier Beast. When it saw me injured, it tried to take advantage, but ended up getting killed by a swipe of my tail. It didn't even think about the difference between an Earthly Beast and a Holy Beast! There's no comparison! The Beast Crystals of the same type of Soul Beast are mutually attractive, and they're even higher in rank than the Stinky Cat. After absorbing that Beast Crystal, it should possibly undergo a variation, but whether it will change for better or worse, I'm not clear about."
When Zheng Feng asked about the beast crystal, Weileng coldly laughed and said.
"As for why no soul beasts dare to come near, they're all intimidated by my aura. Although the stinky cat isn't a true earth beast yet, soul beasts above the earth beast level have a keen innate sense and aren't affected by aura. And in the outer areas of the Qinghai Forest, you can't even see a single spirit beast, let alone phantom beasts or earth beasts." Tail answered.
"Meow!! (╰_╯)#"
From head to tail, he shouted at himself as a stinky cat, and cried out in great anger.
"Tail, don't call me that again from now on."
Zheng Feng didn't like hearing his teeth being called that either.
The tail knew that it would be with Zheng Feng for a long time to come. Although it could disobey orders, if Zheng Feng cut off its beast soul power supply, it would cry without tears and wait for death. It had no choice but to listen, and hummed: "If you don't call me Stinky Cat, then don't call me, just call me Yellow Hair."
The tail suddenly flapped its wings and flew to the front of Zheng Feng, twisted its body, and said with a flattering tone: "Young man, don't you have a blood-attribute beast crystal on your body? Give it to me, okay?"
That beast crystal was dispensable to Zheng Feng, and it wasn't a big deal to give it to Wei Ba originally, but he knew that Wei Ba was still in the "rebellious phase" and couldn't be treated too well, so he said: "What benefits can I get?"
Wei Ba said: "That way, Grandpa will recover faster, and it will also be good for you in the future."
Zheng Feng responded: "Don't talk about the future, let's be practical."
The tail fluttered its wings in the air and did two somersaults, the blue big eyes turned around and said: "Grandpa can teach you the Blood Soul Technique."
