Seeing these geniuses dressed in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, showing no concern for the world and no sense of urgency, not to mention discussing all day long which scenery was the best today or how they must tame a cool beast tomorrow.
Wang Zheng also felt that these geniuses from the grotto heavens were spoiled.
Even though they knew they could only spend a month or two together, they were still willing to spend a lot of time and energy on capturing the strange beast.
Even the usually composed Linghu Yiyun couldn't resist his junior sister's persistent pleading and joined in.
"They're young after all, how can they resist such temptations? I'm the most pitiful one, having to shoulder responsibilities that don't belong to someone with my handsome looks at such a young age. I'm always worrying about this or that. How can I be as carefree as a genius? But it's all for the best..."
After making a few feigned reflections, a sound suddenly came through Wang Dashao's earpiece, and his eyes lit up as he immediately perked up.
"Twenty kilometers to the northwest, there is a white fox. This beast has the body of a white fox and the hooves of a flying horse. Although its strength is only at the fifth rank, its running speed is not slow. Moreover, when it moves, wisps of mist surround its body, which is truly beautiful!"
After Wang Dashao's intensive tutoring over the past few days, these prodigies had gained a basic understanding of most of these exotic beasts. Upon hearing Wang Zheng's introduction, the group of teenagers became excited and unleashed their divine powers to surround the northwest direction.
Qin Yao, pulling Linghu Yiyun along, took the lead and charged ahead.
Our young master Wang licked his lips, lagging far behind, his heart filled with excitement.
Three days, a full three days! It wasn't easy. Finally, we encountered a strange beast with an impressive appearance. Now we can finally explore the secrets of its cultivation techniques...
When Young Master Wang leisurely flew to the location, the group of teenagers were already arguing over who owned the strange beast.
As for Bai Cang, he had long been surrounded from all sides.
When had this small fifth-grade beast ever encountered such an opponent? Just by sensing the aura in front of it, it knew that there was no one it could defeat.
Faced with so many innate masters, he lowered his head and lay on the ground, whimpering softly, not daring to move at all.
Young Master Wang landed from the crowd, gently smoothed the fur of the large, fox-like beast, and said softly:
"Stop playing dead. Your luck has finally arrived. So many grandmaster-level experts are almost fighting over you. If you keep acting so timid and lose this advantage of your appearance, and eventually they'll dislike you, then they'll just have to kill you and eat you..."
It's true that this strange beast is incredibly intelligent. Although Young Master Wang was just trying to scare it, after hearing Wang Zheng's mutterings, it immediately stood up straight, showing no trace of its previous half-dead state.
The fluffy, soft fur rippled like waves in the breeze, creating wisps of mist that gave it an ethereal, otherworldly appearance.
Upon discovering that the beast was indeed as magnificent as Wang Zheng had described, even those who hadn't initially intended to fight over it couldn't resist.
What does it matter if he's weak? The key is that he's handsome.
As the saying goes: strength is only temporary, being cool is what matters!
It's a pity that this is a land-based demon beast and cannot fly. Otherwise, just for its appearance alone, it would be worth the cost of bringing it back to the blessed land.
Qin Yao's eyes were full of affection for the strange beast, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked softly:
"Senior brother, do I remember there's a Cloud-Soaring Technique in our Scripture Pavilion that allows demonic beasts to cultivate?"
Linghu Yiyun understood his junior sister's meaning after a moment's thought.
"Yes, there are, but those are ancient books, and it's not certain whether you can cultivate them. Besides, I don't think Uncle-Master Daoling would allow you to take them back..."
"That's good enough. As for how to bring it back... I have a clever plan!"
Qin Yao's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, revealing two small tiger teeth, and she smiled smugly, looking just like a cunning little fox.
Just as she was about to join in, Wang Zheng, who was in the center of the crowd, suddenly clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the noisy crowd.
"Senior brothers and sisters, please listen to me. Although this Bai Cang is a solitary and relatively rare beast, it has no other advantages besides its good appearance."
Moreover, its strength is rather low, somewhat unworthy of your status. If you ask me, it wouldn't be good to ruin our harmony over such a small beast..."
Before Wang Zheng could finish speaking, Zhang Jun of the Yuntian Sect, who had previously fought against him, said:
"I think Junior Brother Wang Zheng makes a lot of sense. It's just a mere fifth-grade exotic beast. How dare you say that out loud? Aren't you ashamed?"
At this point, Zhang Jun changed the subject.
"However, I captured this beast myself, so I'll tame it!"
"This is utter nonsense, utterly repulsive!"
Zhang Jun was one of the most competitive people. At first, when he was serious, the people around him were wondering why. But it turned out that this kid was up to no good and wanted to take the rare beast for himself. At this moment, some people immediately objected.
"We all released our combined aura, so why did you capture him? I could say it was me! Besides, Junior Brother Wang Zheng isn't an outsider. It's you who's shamelessly disgracing our blessed land!"
At this moment, another person said:
"It's fine if it's just a few of us competing, but why do those who are lagging behind also want to get involved? I don't think that's acceptable!"
"I don't care what you think, I care what I think. This strange beast is so supernatural, and I happen to have a beast-taming technique here. This beast is destined to be with me!"
"Nonsense, you think you're the only one with beast-taming skills? You talk like nobody else doesn't!"
Upon hearing this, another young female student stepped forward.
"Oh, senior brothers~ Our major sects are one, why are you distinguishing between you and me? She just has her eye on this little fox, so please give her to your junior sister..."
Seeing the group of young people start arguing noisily again, a slight upward curve slowly appeared on Wang Dashao's lips.
This guy had ulterior motives from the very beginning, constantly stirring up trouble with one solitary beast after another, and another extremely rare one after another. He was just hoping they would fight over it.
Although most of these geniuses initially acted on a whim, they are now being pressured by the issue of saving face.
While it's unlikely they'd actually come to blows over such a small matter, the atmosphere has already reached a point where neither side wants to back down.
At that moment, someone suddenly made a suggestion.
"Since everyone is fighting over this spirit beast, why not let it choose its own master?"
In an instant, several sharp gazes swept over, and under this suffocatingly low pressure, Bai Cang felt his whole body tremble, and his legs went weak, almost kneeling down.
Young Master Wang smiled and quietly transferred a wisp of spiritual energy to it, then glanced back at it.
The next second, the beast immediately stabilized!
There was no other reason than that his icy gaze was filled with murderous intent, clearly saying: If you dare to mess things up and ruin my plans, I'll skin you alive right now!
