170: Chapter 170 The strong lead the strong
The evolution of the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman was too peculiar.
Needless to say for Wen Guyu's team, the Three Heavenly Kings naturally kept quiet about it as well, and they soon went their separate ways.
The time for the practical combat exam was limited; searching for powerful Pet Beasts to challenge was what they should be doing.
The two teams did not know that every movement in this Secret Realm was already being closely watched by the high-level officials of the East District.
Entrance of the Secret Realm, Military Fortress.
In the Central Army Command Headquarters, Chen Qingliu, one of the notable Eight-Star Beast Tamers of the East District and the second-in-command of Nanyuan Province, was impressively present.
Besides Chen Qingliu, there were two other elderly men of similar age sitting in front of the monitors, silently watching the examinees.
The three old men leaned back in their chairs, with tea and snacks on the conference table before them, appearing relaxed and comfortable.
Mayor Xu and He Shuofeng accompanied them on the side.
The large central screen was showing footage of the Three Heavenly Kings.
All currently known Secret Realms have no signal, and in some of them, the interference with modern technology is extremely severe, making technological products almost impossible to use normally.
Although the Tianluo Secret Realm has no signal, its interference with modern technology is limited, and technological products can be used normally.
As for the signal issue.
It is no problem to build a signal tower within the Tianluo Secret Realm for the use of the Military Fortress inside.
"Little He, tell us what's going on with that Yue Yun?"
A white-haired old man called out He Shuofeng's name.
Bai Qiu崇 had a thin frame but did not appear hunched; his piercing eyes formed a sharp contrast with his silver hair, and the aura he emitted was no weaker than that of the Eight-Star Beast Tamer Chen Qingliu.
With his eyesight, even through a screen, he could see that Yue Yun was being suppressed by the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman, yet suddenly turned the tables.
Not only that, he seemed like a completely different person.
He had made great achievements in the Beast Taming Domain but didn't know much about Kung Fu, so it was better to let He Shuofeng explain.
He Shuofeng withdrew his gaze from the screen, looked at Bai Qiu崇, and smiled, "Yue Yun has comprehended his own 'Momentum'.
People with 'Momentum' act as if divinely assisted when attacking or defending; it is one of the lifelong pursuits of martial artists and is exceptionally important."
He Shuofeng pulled up the replay of Yue Yun.
He pointed at the footage of Yue Yun being suppressed by the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman, specifically zooming in on the heavy cleaver in Yue Yun's hand.
"What Yue Yun comprehended should be 'Offensive Momentum'!
From now on, his attacks will be like today, no longer suppressed or hindered, and will inevitably be launched successfully!"
He Shuofeng could no longer suppress his smile.
That Yue Yun could comprehend 'Momentum' showed his extremely high Comprehension Ability; with the enhancement of 'Momentum', his future prospects would be incomparably bright.
Chen Qingliu nodded with satisfaction.
The stronger Yue Yun became, the more it proved his discernment, and the more it would attract investors to cultivate him into a future pillar of society.
"Not bad, he looks like a good soldier; no wonder he could make you throw away your pride!" Bai Qiu崇 also nodded with a smile.
He turned to look at the old man beside him, and doubt rose in his heart again: "Old Huo, Yue Yun's Beast Taming Talent has mutated; the boost from contracting an Earth Spirit Cat is even greater than yours!"
The old man's physique was disproportionate to his aged face; his muscles seemed ready to burst through his suit, his short grayish-black hair stood up as if blasted by a cannon, and his aura was savage and powerful.
"What do you know?"
Huo Lingguan snorted unhappily, took a sip of tea, and then slowly explained.
"Yue Yun's Beast Taming Talent shares the life and power of the Pet Beast. It seems like a simple one plus one, but it's actually not.
You are more familiar with human anatomy than I am. Do you think the body of a low-star Beast Tamer can withstand the full power of a Pet Beast?"
Chen Qingliu and Bai Qiu崇 shook their heads repeatedly.
As Eight-Star Beast Tamers, their accumulated knowledge over half a lifetime was incredibly rich; each of them was a living expert.
Regarding the human structure and the limits of power the human body can withstand, these Master-level Beast Tamers knew perfectly well.
He Shuofeng and Mayor Xu also cast curious glances, listening to Huo Lingguan's teaching like students.
Huo Lingguan continued to explain: "If it were simply transferring the Pet Beast's life and power to Yue Yun, his body would break down when he used power beyond his limit.
But if you observe closely, you'll see that when Yue Yun uses his full strength, his health bar doesn't change.
Therefore, his ultimate power is still within a bearable range; his body has long since moved beyond the scope of a low-star Beast Tamer!"
The world of Beast Taming still follows logic.
The increase in power attributes is not just a simple addition of points.
It is an all-around improvement including cells, muscle density, muscle fibers, and other indicators.
When Yue Yun shared Miao Sang's life and power, his body was already undergoing subtle changes.
The changes in his body caused his own life and power to slowly increase, gradually possessing superhuman qualities.
In short.
Driven by [Blood-Qi Sharing], Yue Yun and Miao Sang have transformed from a weak and a strong one into a double-strong pair.
The sixty-meter health bar of the Thousand Army Parting is not just the effort of Miao Sang alone, but includes Yue Yun's as well.
"This is an improvement where the strong leads the weak!"
Huo Lingguan made the final verdict.
Chen Qingliu and Bai Qiu崇 were delighted.
Yue Yun's situation is like a machine that starts running by adding fuel first, and then builds its structure, reversing cause and effect.
As he continues to improve in the future, this machine will only get faster and more powerful until it can carry the weight of hope.
Huo Lingguan patted Chen Qingliu: "Haha, it's thanks to you throwing away your old pride that you found such a formidable successor!"
Facing the teasing of his old friend Huo Lingguan, Chen Qingliu acted as if he hadn't heard and drained his tea in one gulp.
Bai Qiu崇's gaze moved from Yue Yun's screen to the one next to it, which recorded Chen Hu's movements.
On the screen, Chen Hu seemed like a changed person.
He took the Dark Demon Tiger and killed wherever he went.
The Dark Demon Tiger, which possessed the [Asuras Heart] talent, was increasing its Rank through slaughter, and its strength was rapidly improving.
Whether it was weak, non-threatening Pet Beasts, or powerful ones that posed a threat to humans.
The Dark Demon Tiger killed them all without discrimination.
The blood of Pet Beasts flowed throughout the valley.
"Hmph, that kid from the Chen family is truly a disgrace!"
Bai Qiu崇 slapped his thigh hard and cursed.
Chen Qingliu was stunned and retorted: "That's Chen Huaijin's grandson; if you want to curse, curse him, but don't bring the entire Chen family into it!"
Although they all share the surname Chen, they really have no relation.
Huo Lingguan glanced over: "This Dark Demon Tiger was likely obtained by en own to increase his eldest son's strength.
It was likely transferred to him for a contract to boost the second son's strength so he could achieve good results in the college entrance exam."
"Looking at the changes in this Dark Demon Tiger, it should be the [Asuras Heart] talent that increases strength through slaughter."
Bai Qiu崇 identified the Dark Demon Tiger's talent and roared in extreme indignation: "Instead of challenging powerful Pet Beasts, he's here slaughtering the weak at will. Does he treat the Pet Beasts of the Secret Realm as consumables for Chen Huaijin's family?!"
Defeating powerful Pet Beasts is meant to test a Beast Tamer's practical combat ability, not for meaningless slaughter.
The Dark Demon Tiger's wanton slaughter not only destroys the ecology of the Secret Realm but also destroys the trust the Secret Realm's Pet Beasts have in humans.
This is no longer a matter of an ordinary Beast Tamer; a heavy blow must be struck!"
