Chapter 427: The True Dragon's Roar

The True Dragon's Roar, a language used only by the ancient True Dragon clan. As long as one possessed dragon bloodline but had not reached the True Dragon level, a single utterance would cause bloodline oppression, directly taming the target.

This Cyan Nightmare Beast, moments ago fierce and eager to devour the Beastmaster Zhang before it, now lay on the ground like a lapdog. If not for this legendary language, it was impossible to imagine what other means could achieve such a feat.

But... this language, having vanished with the True Dragon clan, had it not been lost long ago?

How could he know it?

More importantly... even if the True Dragon's Roar were taught by the dragon clan, humans could not learn it.

This was not a matter of talent; it was that the human body simply could not withstand such a resounding roar, not even with the highest grade of true qi among the top three grades.

Because the sound had to pass through all meridians in the body and resonate through all acupoints. Even cultivating the most profound techniques, it was impossible to open all meridians and activate all acupoints!

Could it be... he is an incarnation of a True Dragon?

His pupils contracted, and his body trembled slightly.

Legend had it that the True Dragon clan traversed the heavens, transforming in countless ways—into beasts, humans, spirits, monsters... no one could recognize their true form.

Beating a Gale Wolf into submission until it wanted to lick his shoes; punching a Tiger-Head Beast until it played dead on the ground, spitting saliva; saying a few words to a Golden Body Iron Arm Ape, who waved goodbye as if they were old friends...

If not an incarnation of a True Dragon, how could he be so absurd?

Even four-star or five-star beast tamers could not achieve this!

Regardless of whether it was true, he dared not speak of it... otherwise, he would surely be silenced!

His face turned pale.

The True Dragon clan was immensely powerful, born with the ability to destroy heaven and earth. If angered, they could easily annihilate anyone.

If this Beastmaster Zhang before him was truly an incarnation of a True Dragon and did not wish to reveal it, and he himself exposed it, he might commit a taboo and be beaten to death on the spot, with no one daring to say a word.

He speculated wildly, his face shifting between light and shadow.

The surrounding crowd, however, was clueless, standing dumbfounded as if they were going mad.

They had all witnessed the ferocity of the Cyan Nightmare Beast just now. The third-grade peak formation set up by so many elders was torn apart in an instant, unable to stop it. Its strength was terrifying.

Yet this creature, so powerful and proud, untamable by anyone, was now lying on the ground licking his pant leg... What had happened?

What is this all about?

I don't know either. Could it be that Beastmaster Zhang's clothes taste better than Seven-Colored Honey? That's why it keeps licking him?

Could it be... tamed? Even if tamed, it shouldn't change this quickly!

...

Some older beast tamers pulled out their beards without feeling pain.

This scene was simply too shocking.

A half-step spirit beast, just moments ago fierce and eager to kill everyone, now lay on the ground like this in the blink of an eye. Anyone would find it hard to accept.

He shouted once... and this creature lay down?

Wei Youdao and Jiang Nanping exchanged glances, feeling as if they were about to explode.

They had brought out the fifth-ranked Seven-Colored Honey, which was useless; the beast didn't even glance at various treasures. They thought it was too proud to be tamed, but then... the man shouted once, and it lay on the ground with a fawning look, afraid he wouldn't accept it...

Since when did half-step spirit beasts with dragon bloodlines become so unreliable and shameless?

Was it going mad, or were their eyes playing tricks?

Uh?

In fact, not only the crowd but Zhang Xuan also widened his eyes.

He had been somewhat nervous earlier when his ancient beast language not only failed to communicate but also enraged the beast.

He had planned to use the Heaven's Path Movement Technique to flee when the creature approached, but who would have thought that shouting a strange language would instantly change its attitude?

If he had known this was so effective, he wouldn't have bothered with the earlier attempts.

Looking down at the huge head rubbing against him, Zhang Xuan calmed down and suppressed his shock: "You wish to submit?"

Roar!

The Cyan Nightmare Beast nodded repeatedly.

This... Even with the beast's own admission, Zhang Xuan was still bewildered.

Was this... too easy?

Then... let's sign a contract!

Though puzzled, he knew this was a good opportunity. He stroked the beast's head and took out a drop of blood.

The Cyan Nightmare Beast, as if afraid he would change his mind, quickly opened its mouth and swallowed the blood, looking satisfied.

Immediately, Zhang Xuan felt a connection of will with the beast, allowing smooth communication.

This... is complete taming?

The surrounding beast tamers felt dizzy.

Meeting once, shouting a few strange notes, and succeeding—since when was taming a half-step spirit beast so easy?

How laughable that we wanted to compete with him in beast taming...

The many geniuses of the younger generation were on the verge of tears.

Many had been unconvinced when this guy succeeded in the Ten Beast Cage challenge.

Now they realized they were not even on the same level as him; the gap was too vast...

Even the three-star beast tamer, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen, had failed, yet this man succeeded in just a dozen breaths. He was so incredible he didn't seem human.

This is a true beast taming master!

Someone sighed.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

Only such a master could easily tame the Cyan Nightmare Beast and pass the Ten Beast Cage in half a cup of tea...

They all looked at the "master," wanting to see how he would interact with the Cyan Nightmare Beast and display his prowess, only to see him turn to Hall Master Xie Jiuchen.

"Hall Master Xie, this beast is tamed. You see... twenty drops of spirit beast blood, oh, and you said you'd give me ten extra drops. When will you settle the account?"

Spirit beast blood...

Xie Jiuchen's body swayed, and his mouth twitched.

I asked you to tame this Cyan Nightmare Beast for the Beast Hall, meaning to make it our beast pet, to serve us.

But you've made it your own, and now you're asking me for payment...

Can you be reasonable?

It's like I finally met a beautiful woman and asked you to help me woo her, but you ended up seducing her yourself... and then asked me for a matchmaking fee...

A stifling sensation in his chest, Xie Jiuchen felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.

This is too much...

"Beastmaster Zhang, since you've tamed the Cyan Nightmare Beast and made it your pet, asking us to pay spirit beast blood seems inappropriate!"

Seeing the hall master too angry to speak, Elder Wei Yuqing couldn't help but say.

"Inappropriate? Did I or did I not tame the Cyan Nightmare Beast?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"Yes..."

"Did you or did you not say that if I tamed it, you would give me spirit beast blood as compensation?" Zhang Xuan continued.

"Yes..."

Xie Jiuchen wanted to cry.

He had thought that no matter how incredible this guy was, he was only a Grandmaster peak. The Cyan Nightmare Beast wouldn't submit even to them, so how could it submit to someone of such strength?

He never expected that not only was it tamed, but so thoroughly...

"Since you agreed, hurry up. Otherwise... I'll continue challenging the Ten Beast Cage!" Zhang Xuan said.

"Forget it. Elder Wei, go fetch the spirit beast blood quickly..."

His mouth twitching, Hall Master Xie Jiuchen quickly waved his hand.

The Cyan Nightmare Beast had submitted, and they couldn't do anything about it. But if this guy continued challenging the Ten Beast Cage, all the beasts in the Beast Hall might become his...

If that happened, he wouldn't need to be hall master anymore; he would surely be laughed to death by others...

"Yes!"

Though frustrated, Elder Wei withdrew and soon returned with a jade bottle.

Taking the jade bottle, Zhang Xuan uncorked it and looked inside. The bright red blood writhed, filling half the bottle, exactly thirty drops, no more, no less.

"Not bad!"

His main purpose in coming to the Beast Hall was this. Now that he had it, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and put it into his storage ring.

Seeing him take it without hesitation, Xie Jiuchen's heart bled.

The Beast Hall of the Xuan Yuan Kingdom, even with its deep reserves, had only forty or fifty drops in total. Having been looted of more than half, anyone would feel pained.

But thinking that the other might be an incarnation of a True Dragon, he suppressed his displeasure.

"Alright, following me is useless. Stay in the Beast Hall and submit! If you agree, I'll help you resolve your internal ailment and even help you break through to become a spirit beast—it's not impossible!"

Ignoring the other's attitude, Zhang Xuan looked at the Cyan Nightmare Beast and waved his hand casually.

Though this creature was powerful, it couldn't fly, so it was of little use to him.

The Xuan Yuan Kingdom was just a stopover; within three months, he would definitely go to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Alliance. Rather than taking it along, it was better to do a favor.

Of course, if the other hadn't given him the spirit beast blood, he would have released the Cyan Nightmare Beast rather than do this.

He wasn't a pushover; if they didn't give what they promised, why would he give them benefits?

"You... what did you say? You want the Cyan Nightmare Beast to submit to our Beast Hall?"

Originally displeased with this guy's extortion, Xie Jiuchen's breathing quickened with excitement upon hearing this.

"Mm."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"This..." Xie Jiuchen and Elder Wei Yuqing both trembled, their eyes reddening.

This was a half-step spirit beast. Whoever tamed it would never let it go. Yet this man offered it away at the first word—wasn't he too generous?

Earlier, they thought he was a greedy fellow who only sought rewards, but now they realized he wasn't that kind of person at all.

The spirit beast blood might indeed be useful to him.

Otherwise, compared to a half-step spirit beast that could break through at any time, even a hundred drops of blood couldn't compare to thirty drops!

If he could give away such a powerful spirit beast without blinking, how could he be coveting some spirit beast blood?

"Yes... we misjudged him. Geniuses have their pride; how could they act this way for mere petty gains..."

The same thought arose in both their minds, and their attitude toward Beastmaster Zhang completely changed.

Just as they were about to say something about his magnanimity, they saw the young man hesitate and then speak: "Oh, by the way, since I'm letting the Cyan Nightmare Beast submit to your Beast Hall, shouldn't you show some appreciation? Things like useless spirit stones, qi-enhancing pills, herbs, and such—just load up a cart or two for me..."

...

Hall Master Xie Jiuchen and Elder Wei Yuqing.
