Beast Taming: the More the Better

And the blood that stained the water crimson.

HUFF...

The bald man, who had been wielding the two shoulder cannons, slumped to the ground, gasping heavily.

It wasn’t just physical exhaustion but also the depletion of his spiritual power.

Clearly, the toll of this battle had been enormous.

Su Ping could rest for now, but their mission was far from complete.

”Alright, there’s always time to rest later,” the stern-faced leader declared. ”Use Recovery Potions on the Pet Beasts and sweep the entire Secret Realm as quickly as possible!”

”Old Luo, you stay put. Operate the Mini Mechanical Radar, maintain contact, and protect Breeder Su. Everyone else, follow me to sweep the waters!”

”Yes, sir!”

Old Luo was the burly, bald man. He was the most exhausted this time since, in addition to his Pet Beasts, he was also responsible for detonating the Mechanical Weapons.

”HEH HEH, thanks a lot, Breeder Su,” Old Luo said with a chuckle from the side as the other three plunged into the water. ”If it weren’t for you, our team probably would have really messed up this time.”

Su Ping shook his head with a smile. His first attempt at using the Five Elements Paper Diagram in combat had revealed many problems and highlighted considerable room for improvement.

He glanced at the shoulder cannons and other Mechanical Weapons on Old Luo, asking curiously,

”Your Mechanical Weapons are quite impressive.”

”Of course! Breeder Su, you truly have a discerning eye. These are all meticulously crafted by yours truly!”

Old Luo gave a thumbs-up, looking extremely proud.

Su Ping wasn’t just being polite or making idle small talk.

During the battle, he had spent a lot of time observing Old Luo. Besides the shoulder cannons, the man had also deployed explosive robots.

Now, Old Luo was holding a tablet, its screen displaying a survey of the Secret Realm; he was clearly an important member of the team.

”Brother Luo, are you a Mechanist?”

Old Luo nodded, then scratched his head. ”Just an Intermediate Level Mechanist. These Mechanical Weapons are decent, but I’ve never managed to design a truly outstanding Mechanical Pet Beast.”

Su Ping nodded thoughtfully. So, this is how Mechanists are categorized?

He was quite interested in this. After this current venture, no matter what, he had to break through his own Realm and advance to the Commander Level.

Once he contracted Feifei, he would need to start considering the Cultivation path for his third contracted Mechanical Pet Beast.

Thus, understanding the Mechanical System was essential.

Of course, Feifei’s unique situation differed substantially from normal Mechanical Pet Beasts. Su Ping had some preliminary ideas on how to begin her Cultivation, but whether he could bring them to fruition was another matter.

Therefore, chatting with an experienced Mechanist like Old Luo could prove very beneficial.

Time passed as the two men conversed.

This Secret Realm, though peculiar, presented no further major troubles or dangers after the initial onslaught, which could only be described as a tidal wave of snakes.

Even when the rest of the team encountered some lingering Blackwater Mysterious Snakes, they were all swiftly dispatched underwater.

Consequently, the exploration team members, their Space Rings seemingly brimming with loot, collected the carcasses of the Monarch-level Blackwater Mysterious Snakes before returning to the small island.

Dividing the spoils was a matter for after they left the Secret Realm.

Next, everyone turned their gaze to Su Ping.

The stern-faced leader finally spoke,

”Breeder Su, it’s all up to you now.”

Su Ping nodded and then stood up, a sense of excitement building within him.

This Secret Realm, an untouched legacy of a Saint Spirit-level Beast Tamer from countless years ago, still possessed a powerful remnant Origin despite dissipating for so long. He wondered if his enhanced Space Absorption could extract a new Space Characteristic for him.

With this thought, Su Ping extended his hand. Under the direction of his spiritual power, an ethereal tentacle emerged from his Beast Taming Space. It slowly spread from his body, reaching into the turbulent and near-shattering Secret Realm.
