His gaze lowered slightly, a hint of gloom on his face as he stared intently at Su He, muttering to himself, "It's not a Subdue Demon nor an Exotic Beast, this is a Divine Beast!"

At the very least, it possesses the bloodline of a Divine Beast.

There are only two paths for beasts to cultivate: Subdue Demons or Exotic Beasts. Divine Beasts aren't cultivated; they are born from their bloodline!

Dragons, phoenixes, kylins, divine turtles, golden crows, moon toads...

The legendary Divine Beasts are countless, but seeing one with your own eyes is almost impossible.

Junior Brother Lu gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound: "Why does a Divine Beast appear only after I've chosen my Guardian Beast!"

Su He watched it, slowly retreating.

This person harbored hostility towards him, a deep-seated hostility. A fight to the death!

It's inexplicable!

"Why didn't you appear earlier or later? Why only after I've chosen my Guardian Beast? Am I, Lu Ming, not worthy of you?"

Lu Ming hailed from the Beast-taming Valley of the Qingyuan Sect, a branch that focuses not on swordsmanship or talisman arts, but on beast cultivation, nurturing one's Guardian Exotic Beast. The beast is me, and I am the beast.

Lu Ming's Guardian Beast had just been contracted three days ago, a white tiger with extraordinary talent. But no matter how high the talent of an ordinary Exotic Beast, can it surpass the bloodline of a Divine Beast?

Three days!

Just three days late!

If he had discovered this turtle three days earlier, he would have risked everything to make it his Guardian Beast!

But it was too late!

According to the beast-taming law, one can only contract one Guardian Beast per realm. With Lu Ming's talent, it would take hundreds of years to reach the next level, no matter what.

Hundreds of years, Lu Ming couldn't wait!

Moreover, the news that there was a turtle with a Divine Beast bloodline in Listening Sea Lake couldn't be suppressed. Beast-taming Valley would find out sooner or later, and this turtle would eventually be made someone's Guardian Beast.

But I am the first True Transmission of this generation's Beast-taming Valley!

Lu Ming gritted his teeth in hatred.

He pulled out a talisman pen, drawing spirit talismans in the air and striking them towards Su He's head.

No one should think of taking my Divine Turtle. Even if it can't be my Guardian Turtle, it can only be my Beast Pet!

Slave Beast Seal, Life and Death Talisman, Cage... Let's see who dares to take it. If anyone still dares to make it their Guardian Beast, I, Lu Ming, don't mind having another servant.

A Guardian Beast shares the same heart and soul with its master. If someone else contracts the soul of a Beast Pet, they can't escape either.

Not understanding these talismans, Su He's heart rang with alarms. His beastly instincts told him that being marked by these talismans would be a fate worse than death.

Su He turned and ran, but the spirit talismans chased him, striking towards his forehead. Just as they were about to make contact, a talisman mark on Su He's head lit up, shattering all of Lu Ming's Beast Pet talismans.

It was a talisman mark left on him by Su Huanian a month ago.

It had no significant function other than preventing others from making Su He their Beast Pet.

Lu Ming's face instantly turned a deep purple.

Just an ordinary warning spirit talisman, yet it could shatter his talismans. The person who left this warning talisman must have an unfathomable cultivation level.

Damn it!

This must be some second-generation heir who discovered this Divine Turtle early on but couldn't contract it as a Guardian Beast, so they asked an elder to leave a talisman on it, waiting until their cultivation level was sufficient to contract it.

How selfish!

Discovering a Divine Beast yet not reporting it to the sect. If he had reported it, the Divine Turtle would have been taken by Beast-taming Valley, and the disciples of this generation could have competed to tame it based on their abilities.

The successful one would give the discoverer a generous reward.

This person knew that if it were placed in Beast-taming Valley, I would definitely tame it before him, so he hid it here.

Who helped the junior? Elder An? Elder Qiu?

The other two elders of Beast-taming Valley wouldn't do it. If there were good things, they would only think of me. Or was it done by a senior from another branch of the sect?

Despicable!

Having the Divine Turtle snatched away, Lu Ming's face darkened even more. Beast Pets can't be forcibly taken, as it would trigger the warning talisman. A disciple who has already chosen a Guardian Beast forcibly breaking an elder's warning talisman to take a Beast Pet would offend that elder to death.

A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

Since it can't be taken, then destroy it! If his white tiger could devour this Divine Turtle, its talent would surely be enhanced significantly.

A Guardian Beast is closely linked to its master; the white tiger's enhancement would mean his enhancement. The path of cultivation would be smoother.

With the elder's warning talisman, he couldn't foolishly let the white tiger eat it directly. He had to come up with a plan.

Lu Ming stood by the lake for a moment, his eyes gradually brightening.

Feng Yaya!

The little princess of the Sect Leader's family! For some reason, she's been lingering in Beast-taming Valley these days. It's said she's waiting for someone she's arranged to meet, and the hundred-day period is almost up.

Beast-taming Valley is the closest, so she's been staying there.

A little girl with a childish mind, yet her cultivation level isn't low. With a little trick, she could turn Beast-taming Valley upside down, releasing all the Beast Pets.

As long as the white tiger takes the opportunity to come out, swims along the water, and happens to encounter a Divine Turtle hatchling, accidentally biting and eating it wouldn't be an unacceptable mistake, right?

It's just the instinct of an Exotic Beast! It's natural for beasts to prey on each other!

It's best to create an alibi for himself, like being punished and confined by the Enforcement Hall for a mistake...

Perfect!

After all, being confined means he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so how could he have instructed the white tiger to make a mistake?

Of course, for the white tiger's safety, it's best to do something to this Divine Turtle. Lu Ming waved his talisman pen, and a talisman landed on Su He's turtle shell.

He deliberately avoided the turtle's head with the warning talisman.

"A Ten Thousand Catties Talisman and a Positioning Talisman are enough." The more talismans used, the easier it is to leave traces. The Positioning Talisman locates, and the Ten Thousand Catties Talisman activates upon encountering the white tiger. No matter what means this turtle has, when pressed down by the spirit talisman, it won't be able to move and will be at the mercy of the white tiger.

"Stay put and wait for my white tiger to eat you."

He sneered and left on his sword, knowing that plans should be executed quickly. First, he needed to find a way to stall Yu Lin, preventing him from coming to teach the crocodiles again, as Yu Lin would discover the talisman left on the turtle shell.

Lu Ming moved swiftly, and Su He squinted, watching him leave.

Indeed, a beast's intuition is the most trustworthy. This person harbored ill intentions! No wonder he disliked him at first sight; he carried a scent that repelled beasts.

This person must frequently interact with various beasts, but most beasts have left a scent of dislike on him.

Saliva, urine, foul fur...

Su He memorized the talismans Lu Ming left on the turtle shell.

The first talisman was completely unfamiliar, while the second was centered around the Earth Element Talisman. Su He couldn't understand its specific function.

Any talisman related to the earth would be centered around the Earth Element Talisman. For example: gathering spiritual energy, organizing earth veins, increasing rice production, earth escape...

Combining this with Lu Ming's self-talk, the unfamiliar talisman should be the Positioning Talisman, while the earth-centered one should be the Ten Thousand Catties Talisman.

As the name suggests, it weighs ten thousand catties. It should have functions like suppression, sealing, or restriction.

Suppress me and then let the white tiger devour me?

A cold light flashed in Su He's eyes. Thinking of Lu Ming's earlier actions, Lu Ming must have wanted to make him a Beast Pet, but was blocked by the talisman left by Su Huanian. Unable to take him as a pet, he decided to destroy him.

You damn bastard! What did I ever do to you?

Su He turned and went to snatch the crocodile's prey.

Devouring a few high-quality prey to accumulate energy, he planned to shed his shell marked with the talisman.

Then...

It's just a white tiger. Without the restriction of the talisman, killing it wouldn't be difficult. If that doesn't work—Su He glanced at the hundred Su Family's Crocodiles on Crocodile Beach. Even if your white tiger is an Exotic Beast, I don't believe a hundred crocodiles can't kill you!

Then, Su He looked at the sword light that pierced the sky, leaving only a glimmer.

Su He had fought with beasts, and even though he had faced life-threatening situations numerous times, he had never harbored hatred towards any wild beast. Only towards Lu Ming did he feel an inexplicable urge to crush him.

Sturgeon, two points.

Not good enough quality, thrown back to the crocodile group.

Rabbit, one point.

...

Wild wolf, three points.

Su He snatched prey from one crocodile after another, leaving the Su Family's Crocodiles bewildered. They didn't understand why their king was suddenly taking their prey, only to throw it back uneaten.

The same prey, once thrown back, immediately emitted an enticing aroma, causing a frenzy among the crocodiles.

Until he snatched the twelfth crocodile.

Deer cake, four points, quality.

Su He devoured the little fawn completely. The warm deer blood heated his entire body, and two hours later, Su He slowly closed his eyes.
