Chapter 426: The Power of a Strange Language

"The ancient beast language is profound and extensive; learning just a few characters is definitely not enough!"

Elder Wei Yuqing interjected, utterly speechless.

He kept saying he was going to learn, read books for a whole day and night, and we thought he might actually learn something, but it turned out he only learned a few characters... Are you here to make a joke?

Even if he knew the real beast language, it's uncertain whether he could communicate with this creature. With only a few characters, do you think it will understand?

What a joke!

We thought his confident 'Let me do it!' meant he was well-prepared, but it turns out... he's just here to cause trouble.

Looks like even a super genius can't be relied upon...

"If it doesn't work, you guys think of a way to strike it unconscious!"

He had no confidence in the few characters he had learned either.

"Let's begin..."

Afraid that this guy would keep harping on this, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen quickly interrupted and spoke.

What nonsense is this!

You beat up the Wind Swift Wolf and made it pledge allegiance, and you actually think this method is feasible?

This is a Cyan Nightmare Beast, a top-tier savage beast with dragon bloodline, extremely proud. Even if you knock it out, or even kill it, it's absolutely useless.

If it were that simple, what would they be waiting for? They would have acted long ago.

"Fine!"

Too lazy to argue further, Zhang Xuan strode over to the Cyan Nightmare Beast.

Seeing him approach, the massive beast didn't even bother to lift its eyelids, looking utterly languid.

"It's starting..."

Wei Youdao clenched his fists.

Even bringing out the Seven-Colored Honey didn't work. What method could this guy, who had broken the ten-beast cage record, possibly use?

Eyes wide open, afraid to miss any detail, he stared intently. But after just one look, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He saw that this guy neither took out something the beast liked nor anything it was interested in. Instead, he frowned, twisted his mouth for a while, and suddenly emitted a strange sound from his throat.

"Gu!"

The sound was like thunder, and no one understood what it meant.

"Is this the ancient beast language?"

Seeing his odd movements and sounds, Wei Youdao was baffled. Hall Master Xie Jiuchen and Elder Wei Yuqing both tensed up and quickly looked at the Cyan Nightmare Beast not far away.

He had gone to learn the ancient beast language, and since he was now making sounds, he must have learned something.

Even if it's just one syllable, what if it works?

Under their focused gaze, the originally languid Cyan Nightmare Beast suddenly opened its eyes...

Then yawned, lay back down, and was still again.

"It didn't work?"

Seeing that the beast hadn't reacted much, Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

The ancient beast language had been compiled into eight syllables, with correct pronunciation and form, but their meanings weren't recorded in the books, and the library couldn't identify them either.

In other words, although he could pronounce them, he didn't know what they meant.

Even if he spoke, he wouldn't understand what he wanted this beast to do.

"Next."

But he could try them one by one without hesitation. He opened his mouth again: "Wu!"

The sound was like an eagle owl's cry, clear and piercing.

Xie Jiuchen and Wei Yuqing looked again and saw the Cyan Nightmare Beast sleeping even more soundly, its head buried under one hoof, lips protruding, motionless.

"Did it work or not?"

The two exchanged glances, bewildered.

If the ancient beast language he spoke worked, the Cyan Nightmare Beast was still lying there without any movement or response.

If it didn't work, it had at least adjusted its sleeping position, whereas before it was completely still...

Could it be that this syllable was meant to lull the beast to sleep...

You went to learn the ancient beast language to tame savage beasts, but you ended up learning a lullaby?

If that's the case, what's the use of learning this!

I want to tame it, not put it to sleep...

"Zhi!"

Amid their confusion, the young man in front uttered a third sound.

They looked again, and this time it was even better. Not only had it adjusted to a comfortable position, but it was sleeping with its tongue out and drool all over the floor.

"Oh my!"

"Three sounds, and he put the Cyan Nightmare Beast to sleep?"

The beast tamers gathered around were also utterly dumbfounded.

They had thought this young genius would use some incredible taming technique, and indeed it was incredible, but it was also too baffling.

Weren't they supposed to tame it? Why was he putting it to sleep?

"Huh?" Zhang Xuan was also puzzled.

But then his eyes lit up.

"This is good too. If it can fall asleep, that saves me a beating!"

Besides this method, he had another: knock it out, then use the library to find its weakness and tame it.

Unfortunately, Xie Jiuchen and Wei Yuqing hadn't cooperated, and he couldn't beat them, so he couldn't implement it. If he could put it to sleep with these ancient beast language syllables, that would be great.

"Wu ya hai wu wu!"

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He shouted out the remaining syllables in succession.

Hearing him shout a string of characters and syllables, everyone hurriedly looked over.

Xie Jiuchen in particular was extremely tense, wanting to see the reaction of the Cyan Nightmare Beast. At a glance, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

The Cyan Nightmare Beast, which had just been drowsy and nearly asleep, suddenly opened its eyes and stood up, its massive body rising.

Roar!

A tremendous roar shot straight into the sky, shaking everyone's minds with a dizzying shock.

At the same moment, its head slammed violently toward the iron cage before it.

Hum!

The formation activated, stopping its movement. Even so, the sturdy iron cage, under this impact, immediately developed a huge arc, as if it might burst open at any moment.

Damn it...

His pupils contracted, and Xie Jiuchen's face changed drastically.

He had thought this creature was severely injured and unable to move, but unexpectedly, after these days of adjustment, it could already stand up and had such attack power.

Of course, whether it was stimulated by this Beast Master Zhang's 'ancient beast language' or not, both its eyes and mental state appeared unusually irritable.

In this state, once the Cyan Nightmare Beast broke out, the entire Beast Hall would face danger, with devastation and suffering.

Look what you've done...

Turning to scold Zhang Xuan, Xie Jiuchen grew angrier the more he thought about it.

What kind of mess is this?

I asked you to tame the savage beast, not to anger it and cause massive destruction.

Elders, prepare the Star-Gathering Beast-Trapping Formation!

Knowing that arguing with this guy was pointless, Xie Jiuchen shouted loudly.

Yes!

The many elders of the Xuan Yuan Kingdom Beast Hall, also aware of the critical situation, responded in unison and gathered around, their faces solemn.

The Star-Gathering Beast-Trapping Formation was a powerful formation used by the Beast Hall to trap savage beasts. Many elders had studied and practiced it; they only needed to stand at specific positions and input true qi to activate it, without needing deep understanding of formations.

What's going on?

It seems Beast Master Zhang has angered this savage beast!

Wasn't he supposed to tame it? How could he anger it?

...

Wei Youdao, Jiang Nanping, and others were also tense.

This was a half-step Mortal Transformation Cyan Nightmare Beast; once enraged, the entire Beast Hall might be razed to the ground!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid everyone's shocked gazes, the Cyan Nightmare Beast rammed several more times. In the blink of an eye, the iron cage was completely deformed, leaving a huge gap large enough for it to squeeze through.

Hum!

As soon as it stuck its head out, trying to charge out, a clear hum sounded, and the Star-Gathering Beast-Trapping Formation activated. Instantly, beams of white light shot out from where the elders stood, forming a vast net that enveloped it.

Trapped by the net of light, the Cyan Nightmare Beast grew even more irritable, its fierce roar piercing the sky. Its massive claws suddenly swiped through the air.

Zzzz!

Under the impact of its immense power, white beams like sword qi shot from its claw tips, stabbing toward the net above.

The net shook violently, like a shield struck by a giant hammer, emitting a dizzying sound.

Pfft! Pfft!

Under the violent tremors, several elders at the center of the formation flushed red and coughed up blood.

A half-step spirit beast was already powerful, and this creature, containing dragon bloodline, had astonishing strength, no weaker than a Mortal Transformation realm expert. Although the elders were strong, they were only at the mid or late Supreme realm, unable to withstand the beast's furious attacks.

Quickly input true qi to reinforce the formation...

Seeing his people unable to hold back, Xie Jiuchen grew more anxious and shouted urgently.

If they couldn't hold, the entire Beast Hall would face catastrophe; they could not retreat no matter what.

Rumble!

Knowing the severity of the situation, none of the elders slacked off. They shouted in unison, madly pouring their true qi into the formation without restraint.

With the surge of true qi, the dimmed net brightened again, emitting dazzling light.

As the formation strengthened, the Cyan Nightmare Beast seemed to gain power as well. It roared again, stomped its hind legs on the ground, and charged its massive body straight into the net above.

Rip!

With its immense weight and狂暴 power, the trapping net could no longer hold and tore apart.

Staggering back!

All the elders who had set up the formation turned pale and fell to the ground.

Whoosh!

The Cyan Nightmare Beast burst out of the formation, its eyes wide, carrying boundless force, and walked straight toward Zhang Xuan.

It's over...

Seeing the formation and iron cage both torn apart, Xie Jiuchen's face turned pale.

He never imagined that after all this taming, not only had the savage beast not been subdued, but its ferocity had been provoked, and it wanted to kill.

With so many of them unable to stop it, being targeted by this giant beast, this brilliant genius Beast Master Zhang would surely be torn to pieces and die on the spot.

Moo!

Just as he couldn't bear to watch and thought there was no way to save him, he saw the young man not far away shout again.

Xie Jiuchen stumbled.

It was because of your random shouting that this creature went berserk, and now you still don't know to repent...

Do you have to let it crush you to death?

Just as he was about to scold and tell the guy to flee, no longer obsessed with ancient beast language, he saw the Cyan Nightmare Beast, which had come close, suddenly lie down upon hearing the shout, stick out its tongue, and lick the young man all over, looking exactly like... the Wind Wolf from before.

Tamed with a single word, bloodline suppression... Could this be the True Dragon's Voice?

Hall Master Xie Jiuchen's pupils contracted, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
