Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 656: Chapter 301: Perfection! The True Body of Fire Phoenix? The Needs of Little Flame!_4

”So, you want to enhance your strength; you just need to find the rest of your kind, and then devour and merge with them?”

”HISSSSSSS!”

The Fire Phoenix formed by Little Flame nodded rapidly.

Su Ping smiled.

”What is the strength of your kind like? Does devouring and being devoured represent the dominance of consciousness? Whose power is stronger, whose consciousness will become the true entity of the Flame Totem and the true consciousness of the Ten Thousand Bird Faith?”

Su Ping’s words left Little Flame somewhat perplexed, seemingly overwhelmed by the complexity of his message.

However, perhaps it was due to just having consumed two Flame Fruit and its resulting enhancement in Realm. Little Flame was only slightly confused for a moment before understanding the meaning in Su Ping’s words, and then it nodded.

”HISSSSSSS! (I... am the true Flame Totem, the Ten Thousand Bird Faith...)”

Su Ping’s eyes narrowed with mirth.

”That might not necessarily be so! Think about it, little guy. The rest of the flames are out there in the world; maybe they’ve already started devouring each other! Their strength must have made substantial progress! Although your consciousness was revived by Senior Biyao Chunshen, your power is really weak! You don’t have a way to enhance your strength. In the future, you might be easily devoured, right?”

Su Ping feigned a regretful shake of his head.

As expected, upon hearing this, Little Flame, whose awakened consciousness was like a blank sheet of paper, became very anxious.

”HISSSSSSS! (No! I don’t want to be devoured! I am the true Flame Totem, the Ten Thousand Bird Faith...)”

Su Ping was very satisfied with Little Flame’s ambition.

Only ambitious Pet Beasts are good Pet Beasts! Pet Beasts that don’t settle are valuable Pet Beasts!

Therefore, he continued with a smiling expression.

”So, how about I help you? Train you? Rest assured, I am quite respectable in status and strength within the Beastmaster Society! If you’re willing, I can help you increase your strength very quickly.”

At these words, Little Flame fell into hesitation.

It always felt that this human was up to no good, and its instincts were telling it not to trust them!

Humans were considered the most despicable and shameless species in the world. This was the imprint left on all Little Flames by their origin.

However, this nascent self-awareness, like a blank sheet of paper, couldn’t deny that the human before it was correct.Perhaps in two or three months, those scattered flames have already started to merge, devour, and battle each other.What chance does this inherently frail Little Flame have against those ’originals’ that have grown stronger?

Self-consciousness is a symbol of intelligence and, at the same time, a manifestation of one’s own life. Such beings, once they develop self-consciousness, are unwilling to sacrifice themselves for others. This is true not just for the intelligent; even unintelligent wild beasts are the same. This is the instinct of all living creatures. Especially now, with the help of Biyao Chunshen, Little Flame had already developed a pure self-consciousness and intelligence. In such a predicament, Su Ping’s question undoubtedly struck a chord with Little Flame.

Thus, Little Flame fell into deep thought. Su Ping also felt a gaze from behind him. At some point, Biyao Chunshen’s figure had again departed from Xiao Qing’s body and arrived behind Su Ping and Little Flame, watching them with interest.

Su Ping turned his head and, with his consciousness projection, bowed respectfully to Biyao Chunshen.

Biyao Chunshen’s figure swayed, disregarding the gesture.

Finally, Little Flame emerged from its silent contemplation and spoke.

”HISSSSSSS! (I am... not going to be your Pet Beast...)”

”HISSSSSSS! (However, I do want your nurturing... and help... I will... repay you...)”

Su Ping grinned. Isn’t everything difficult at first? The first stage of persuasion was complete, wasn’t it?
