Chapter 148: Saint, Your Beast Taming Technique Is Truly Strong!

"Achoo!

Who's talking about me behind my back?"

At this moment, Li He sneezed and muttered to himself.

Looking at the Canghai Ruins Dragon whose "face" was a bit swollen before him, Li He asked with concern, "Senior Ruins Dragon, are you alright?

I'm so sorry!

After all, I'm just a mere Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator. My attacks to you might not be completely like light drizzle, but they're certainly trivial and harmless!

…

It's all Baicao's fault!

Who told her to hit so hard!

Later, I'll definitely give her a proper lesson on respecting the elderly and cherishing the young!

Senior Ruins Dragon, does your face still hurt?

It should be fine, right…"

Listening to Li He's caring words, the Canghai Ruins Dragon nodded, wanting to cry but having no tears, and took a small step back…

Right then, Li He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed both of the Canghai Ruins Dragon's hands, staring intently at it with a look that suggested he hesitated to speak…

After a standoff lasting a few breaths, the Canghai Ruins Dragon, under Li He's intense gaze, felt genuinely spooked…

…

The Canghai Ruins Dragon coughed lightly and tentatively asked with caution, "Young Hero? Do you… have something on your mind?

Feel free to speak! I will do whatever I can to help you!"

Hearing the Canghai Ruins Dragon's reply, Li He immediately beamed with a smile, holding its hands and speaking with sincere tones, "Actually, it's nothing much!

I just wanted to test out my beast taming—ptui! Beast Taming Technique!

Can't be helped, my master requested that I come try subduing some strange beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower!

So here I am!

…

Just cooperate a little so I can see how well I've learned my Beast Taming Technique!

I spent quite a bit of time and effort on this, you know!

On my way to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower just now, I spent an entire half an hour learning the Beast Taming Technique!"

Hearing Li He's words, the Canghai Ruins Dragon felt as if its brain was shrinking.

"I've never heard of anyone calling half an hour of study 'spending quite a bit of effort and time'!

Is the Saint… a complete novice?"

Thinking up to this point, the Canghai Ruins Dragon sat up straight, resolving to fully cooperate with the Saint. As long as there was even a tiny hint of guidance from his Beast Taming Technique, it would do everything in its power to drag that power into its Origin!

…

After all, who knew what the consequences would be if the Saint failed? If he failed and beat it up again in anger, who could it weep to…

Thinking of this, the Canghai Ruins Dragon quietly adjusted its breath and began opening the layers of Restrictions surrounding its Origin, as well as the layers of Origin barriers!

A few breaths later…

The Canghai Ruins Dragon let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally, they're all open!

Now, I'll be able to feel even the slightest fluctuation!

To avoid getting beaten up again, let's go!"

The Canghai Ruins Dragon stared intently at Li He, terrified of missing the moment he channelled his Beast Taming Technique!

Moments later, seeing Li He standing stock-still in place, the Canghai Ruins Dragon plucked up its courage and timidly asked, "Young Hero!

You can start now!

Please channel your Beast Taming Technique!"

…

Hearing the Canghai Ruins Dragon, Li He froze, then awkwardly probed, "Say, is there a possibility that I've already channelled it?

Could it be that the Beast Taming Technique has a startup delay before taking effect?"

Hearing Li He's words, it was the Canghai Ruins Dragon's turn to freeze!

"Holy crap!

Did he channel it?

Did he not channel it?

If he channelled it, why didn't I feel even a single trace of pull?

If he didn't, why did the Saint say he did?

Given the Saint's status and strength, he wouldn't trick a poor little dragon like me!

Could it be…

I lost my memory?"

…

Meanwhile…

Li He, standing to the side, watched the Canghai Ruins Dragon's constantly shifting expressions and couldn't help but murmur, "Is it only taking effect now?

This Beast Taming Technique has quite a long delay!

With such a long delay, it couldn't fail, could it?"

Hearing Li He's words, the Canghai Ruins Dragon was now completely certain that the Saint's Beast Taming Technique was simply too weak!

So weak that even when it fully exposed its Origin, the Saint's Beast Taming Technique couldn't produce even a tiny ripple of pull!

Thinking of this, and imagining the possibility of being beaten up if the Saint failed…

"Anyway, submitting to Master is submission, and submitting to the Saint is also submission. Judging by how much Master cares about the Saint, he must be the apple of everyone's eye!"

With that thought, the Canghai Ruins Dragon steeled its heart!

It let out a long roar and then howled dramatically, "Whoa!

What a powerful Beast Taming Technique!

I can't take it anymore!"

Meanwhile…

At the top floor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower, the Sixth Ancestor suddenly felt a Divine Soul connection.

Looking closely, he saw that it was a tiny Origin Incarnation of the Canghai Ruins Dragon. The small phantom Incarnation in the Sixth Ancestor's mind was just about to say something to him…

The Sixth Ancestor waved his hand with a chuckle, "I know what you want to say!

If you want to go, then go! In any case, Heer probably won't let you follow him—I've already figured out his style pretty well!"

As the Sixth Ancestor's voice faded…

The Canghai Ruins Dragon felt its Origin connection with the Sixth Ancestor suddenly suppressed by a large margin…

Sensing the strange change within its body, the Canghai Ruins Dragon froze for a moment, then thought to itself with emotion, "Master, I knew you were the best to me and wouldn't just stand by and watch me get beaten senseless by the Saint!

Rest assured, I, the Canghai Ruins Dragon, will follow the Li Family all my life. Even in this life-and-death situation, I had to consult Master's opinion. If Master didn't allow me to follow the Saint, I wouldn't bat an eye even if I were severely beaten by the Saint again!"

Right now…

The Canghai Ruins Dragon's face shifted, putting on an expression of complete submissiveness as a clump of golden light floated out from its body!

"Y-Young Hero!

S-So you are the Saint of our Li Family!

I… I have been thoroughly subdued by your Beast Taming Technique!

This is my Origin Contract. Saint, what do you think?"

Looking at the Canghai Ruins Dragon's Origin Contract before him, Li He froze slightly before smiling, "Senior Ruins Dragon, please take back your Origin Contract!

I was just testing out the effectiveness of my Beast Taming Technique.

It seems my Beast Taming Technique isn't any worse than Grandpa Sixth Ancestor's!

Grandpa Sixth Ancestor even said I only knew how to subdue strange beasts through violence!

Now it seems I'm very strong even without using violence!"

Hearing Li He's words, the Canghai Ruins Dragon hurriedly chimed in, "Ah, yes, yes!

You're so right, Saint!

Even without you saying it, I can feel it.

Saint, your Beast Taming Technique is truly strong!"
