Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 502: Subdue (3)

Su Yu disagreed. He said, "The fire crow has a second-tier character. Only when I am seriously injured would the fire crow be able to sense anything from so far away. That can only mean that I have succumbed to an attack and the two of you have failed to protect your master. In that situation, you deserve death. What's wrong with that?"

The shadow had nothing to say.

Su Yu did not want to waste more time. He said, "Hand over your characters...wait, forget it. I'll call my martial uncle first. I can't give you any chance to scheme against me. Wait a moment."

"..."

The beasts were starting to feel exhausted. Just how afraid of death was this fellow? They had all submitted. They were really sincere in their submission. Could he give them some trust?

...

Su Yu did not care about their thoughts.

As far as he was concerned, his own life was far more precious than their lives. He could never be too cautious. If it wasn't for the lack of options, he wouldn't have even considered using these beasts.

Who knew if there was a lunatic among them who was willing to die with a human for revenge? It would be such a pity if he were to die because of that, right?

A few minutes later.

Chen Yong arrived.

He glanced at the beasts and wasted no time. Three of the cages were opened. The water elemental, shadow, and fire crow were released.

He had an amused expression as he said, "This plan is acceptable. But the fire crow can come with me to the books depository. The moment something happens, I'll be able to sense it. As for their characters, hand it to me. With their characters in my hand, they won't be able to escape death in the event of betrayal."

In other words, the fire crow had been reduced into a communicator that was even more useful than a voice transmission talisman.

After all, in the event of an ambush, one might not have the chance to use a voice transmission talisman. But the fire crow's character would be kept in the sea of willpower. Even if Su Yu was ambushed, he would be able to instantly move or damage the character in his sea of willpower.

The fire crow felt greatly sorrowful at being reduced to a mere tool, but at the same time, he was also slightly happy that he could finally leave this place. He was sick of this place. As far as he was concerned, any other place would be better than here.

Books depository? That was still better than this place. Sure, the terrifying Chen Yong was there as well, but he would take that over staying here.

Chen Yong said, "This will actually make it hard for them to display their full strength. I will get some confinement rings from the Beast Taming Faculty later. This is the tool humanity relies on to tame their mounts. Your grandteacher had not gotten any of these rings because it wasn't worth it."

While working on the beasts, Chen Yong explained, "A single ring is worth over 1,000 merit points. Rather than spending that much money, he might as well keep them in cages and extract some blood essence from them once a while."

Yes. The reason was that simple. These beasts were not worth those rings.

As for the Mountainsea beasts, the rings for them would be even more expensive. And these rings could only be purchased from the Knowledge Seeking Realm. Hong Tan was too poor for that. In any case, he had not been expecting to get any help from these beasts. Thus, he had not bothered.

The water elemental and shadow stayed completely silent. Nobody could understand the level of grief they were feeling inwardly. So they had not been tamed so far because in Hong Tan's eyes, they were not even worth the price he needed to pay for those rings.

Why hadn't Hong Tan told them earlier? They would gladly pay to have themselves tamed! Sure, they did not have any human currency in hand, but they could always sell their own blood essence for money, right?

Why had Hong Tan not told them about it? If they had known about it, they would gladly provide more blood essence to pay for it. Life sure was difficult as beasts. They needed to pay to turn themselves into mounts. The world must be going crazy.

...

Both Chen Yong and Su Yu were naturally unbothered with the grief those beasts were feeling. Before long, Chen Yong had three characters in hand.

Each of them had been formed in the language of its respective owner.

The shadow's main Divine Character was the shadow character, the water elemental's main Divine Character was the water character, and the fire crow's main Divine Character was the fire character.

Su Yu asked curiously, "Without your main Divine Characters, will you still be able to conceal yourself?"

The shadow said, "Yes. We are born with natural talents in concealment. Our concealment will only be less perfect without our characters. As a third-stage Cloudbreach, I was able to hide from some Mountainseas before. But now, I can probably only hide from some Cloudbreach cultivators. We have also weakened considerably after all these years so our concealment skills have deteriorated as well."

His body flickered and vanished. Next, Su Yu felt something different about his shadow.

When he looked over, he saw his shadow twisting about. After a short moment, the shadow returned to normal.

The shadow's voice rang out, "In the past, I was able to hide in the shadow of Cloudbreach cultivators undetected. Now, I will probably be discovered even if I'm hiding in the shadow of a Skysoar."

The water elemental transformed into a drop of water before landing in Su Yu's palm. His voice rang out, "It's the same for me. My strength has degraded greatly. My Water Transformation ability allows me to merge with any liquid around me, but now, my concealment can be seen through much easier than before. In the past, even a Mountainsea would have a hard time detecting me."

In truth, Su Yu could use the Water Transformation ability as well. But he needed the blood essence of the water elemental race to do so.

He did not say anything. This felt decent. They were still quite useful. He then picked up the fire character. He had a fire character himself as well, but his was in the form of the human language.

After studying it for a bit, he took it into his sea of willpower.

The fire crow hurriedly reminded, "Be careful. Don't harm yourself—"

But he immediately shut his mouth.

Su Yu was completely fine. After a short moment, he smiled, "That was easy. Fire crow, you're too weak. It's not hard to suppress your character."

He was speaking the truth. Sure, that was a peak second-tier character, but Su Yu's blood character was at a similar level. This character would definitely be stronger in the fire crow's sea of willpower. Now that it was inside Su Yu's sea of willpower, it was no longer as strong.

Su Yu was able to easily suppress it. He didn't even need to use the golden book or his little hammer.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Su Yu hit the character once with his hammer. Instantly, the fire crow dropped unconscious.

Su Yu blinked. "I didn't even use much strength. Stop pretending."

No response came.

Chen Yong laughed and pinched the fire crow. With a terrified screech, the fire crow woke up. He hurriedly said, "Lord, stop hitting it! I have not betrayed you!"

He was terrified. What was that? His main Divine Character had been seriously damaged in one hit.

Su Yu smiled, "You're way too tender. I didn't even use much force there. I was only testing it out..."

He had nearly smashed the character apart with one hit.

Was this a Skysoar?

Bullshit!

The other beasts were completely silent.

Freak!

This was a true freak.

He was able to casually suppress a peak second-tier character. This was too terrifying. Was this still the Mental Tempering Stage? Was this a joke?

But Chen Yong wasn't surprised. Su Yu? A Mental Tempering Stage? Stop joking. As far as he was concerned, Su Yu was a fake Mental Tempering Stage. Just look at how solid the kid's willpower was. You call that a Mental Tempering Stage student?

His willpower was even more solid than that of some Skysoars. And how many apertures had the kid opened? 36? Don't joke around! Chen Yong would believe it even if someone told him that the kid had opened double that number of apertures.

The kid would have no problem suppressing the fire crow's second-tier character. With this, three out of the six beasts were tamed. The suanni, mountaindrill bull, and white civet were feeling extremely sullen.

And Su Yu's words had caused them even more worry.

"Martial Uncle, I will be spending most of my time in the Source Soul Research Center from now on. I will take two of these three with me. The fire crow will go with you. As for the rest..."

"Just kill them." Chen Yong nonchalantly said, "I'm too busy to feed them. It would be a waste to starve them to death. We might as well kill and sell them while they're fresh..."

The three beasts trembled with fear. They were going to be killed!

"Lord, Lord, I gave you a heaven-grade technique before! Have you forgotten, Lord?"

The suanni was very anxious. They were going to kill him!

Su Yu smiled and said, "Forget it. No matter what, a relationship has been built between us. Just let them stay here. I'll feed them whenever I find the time. If not, forget it. They're truly too weak..."

He sighed. Why were these fellows only Skysoars? If they were at the Cloudbreach Realm, they could still be considered experts. Skysoars? That...didn't feel so special at all. It didn't matter if Su Yu himself wasn't a Skysoar. That wouldn't stop him from feeling that way.

The three beasts were on the verge of crying. They would really starve to death!

Su Yu ignored them and said, "Shadow, you will stay in my shadow. Water guy, you'll stay on my body. Don't make any sound. I will cover you up with my shadow barriers. Can Mountainseas discover you?"

"Yeah."

Of course, during their peak, they were able to hide from even Mountainseas. But that wasn't the case anymore.

"So be it."

In truth, apart from the various academies and the military, Mountainseas were rarely seen anywhere else. For example, not even a Cloudbreach could be seen in Nanyuan. After subduing the two beasts, Su Yu felt a lot more reassured than before.

He would finally have something to rely on when he was outside the academy. Wan Tiansheng had promised that no Mountainsea would touch him. If they dared to lay a hand on him, they would die.

Thus, he only needed to worry about Cloudbreach cultivators. Both the shadow and water elemental were at the Cloudbreach Realm. Their strength might have deteriorated, but they could still put up a fight against Cloudbreach opponents.

"I can now proceed with my plan."

The relieved Su Yu walked out of the building. Chen Yong followed behind him with the fire crow in hand. He asked, "You're taking a trip outside the academy? Do you want me to go with you?"

"It's fine. Things might be even more troublesome with you at my side." Su Yu said, "If you come with me, they will think that we're doing something big. It will be better for me to leave without you."

"If anything happens, just damage the fire crow's character. I will arrive promptly. The crow can sense the location of his own character."

"Sure."

Su Yu nodded. The fire crow remained silent. He had accepted his role as a navigational device. They were all talking like his main Divine Character was completely worthless. This was so sad.
