Chapter 159: A New Skill Appears

Nameless Peak.

At Lin Fan's residence, Zhang Ergou and his companion were reporting on the battle situation.

"Sect Master, ever since you left, my junior brother and I have been following your instructions to brainwash Senior Brother Tianyu. Over the past half month, we've had three arguments and four deliberate brainwashing sessions. The results are significant; Senior Brother Tianyu should have come around by now." Zhang Ergou reported their proud achievements—their first collaboration, and the outcome was quite pleasing.

Lin Fan listened carefully, nodding from time to time. He was very satisfied with Zhang Ergou's report, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

For Tianyu to want to leave this place was nothing but a fool's dream. It's not the open and aboveboard that one fears, but the scheming in the shadows.

"Mm, very good. You haven't disappointed me." Lin Fan chuckled inwardly. "But don't let your guard down. This is a critical period; we can't afford to slack off now."

"Yes." Zhang Ergou and the other nodded. Then Zhang Ergou hesitated, as if wanting to say something but holding back. "Um, Sect Master, you see... you see..."

Seeing Zhang Ergou like this, how could Lin Fan not know what he wanted? It was still the 'Big Fan Ge.' But Lin Fan didn't even have the raw materials himself, so how could he have any in stock?

"I'll give you what you want tomorrow. For now, go tidy up Little Junior Sister's room. Smooth out any sharp corners in the room." Having finally tricked a little loli into becoming his disciple, Lin Fan naturally wanted to cherish her.

"Yes." Zhang Ergou and the other nodded and withdrew.

To the two of them, the Sect Master's attentiveness to Little Junior Sister was truly enviable.

Lin Fan then took out the Snow King Lion cub, his eyes gleaming. The Snow King Lion was a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast, the Raging Sky Snow Lion. To elevate the Snow King Lion cub to a Raging Sky Snow Lion, its bloodline had to be purified.

But for ferocious beasts, to enhance their bloodline, aside from self-cultivation, another way was to consume divine pills.

At that moment, a drop of Snow King Lion essence blood floated before Lin Fan. This was the essence blood of the cub's mother, which would be immensely beneficial to the cub.

The drowsy cub, catching a faint familiar scent, couldn't open its eyes but extended its pink tongue, gently licking Lin Fan's palm.

Then Lin Fan placed the cub on the ground. A ball of flame suddenly burst from his right hand, and he cast the essence blood into it for refinement and purification.

Though letting the cub swallow this drop of essence blood would greatly help it,

it was still only Snow King Lion essence blood, not Raging Sky Snow Lion essence blood.

Essence blood is the core life essence of a ferocious beast. Although purification would reduce its efficacy, it was certain that from this drop of essence blood, the blood of the ancient ferocious beast could be extracted.

The drop of essence blood sizzled in the flame, gradually condensing until it was only a third of its original size.

"Ding, congratulations on extracting a drop of Raging Sky Snow Lion blood."

At that moment, the originally bright red essence blood had turned golden. Lin Fan could feel the majesty of an ancient ferocious beast emanating from it.

It worked.

Lin Fan was overjoyed. Though this was just an ordinary drop of blood, it was the blood of a Raging Sky Snow Lion. If the cub swallowed it, it would certainly have immense benefits.

In the present world, ancient ferocious beasts had long been extinct. For a Snow King Lion to revert to its ancestral form, the probability was extremely low.

Even the Holy Sect would only dare to say they had some confidence, not a hundred percent. And that 'some confidence' would consume vast resources—resources that, if spent on disciples, could nurture countless Little Heaven rank disciples.

Just then, the Snow King Lion cub suddenly let out a whining cry, as if something was attracting it. Though it couldn't stand, its limbs slid vigorously on the ground.

Lin Fan smiled, pinched the cub's mouth open, and tossed the drop of blood inside. "Little one, your fate is in your own hands from now on."

After swallowing the blood, the cub's expressionless face showed a hint of satisfaction.

Its originally snow-white fur became even whiter, even shimmering with radiance, undergoing a dramatic change from before.

Then Lin Fan put the cub back into his backpack.

"Uncle Lin, this is something the Sect Master sent for you." A voice came from outside the door.

"Mm, come in." Lin Fan said.

The visitor was likely a disciple of the Sect Master.

Lin Fan looked at the items: a beast-taming manual and some Snow King Lion fur.

Lin Fan was somewhat interested in the beast-taming manual, while the Snow King Lion fur was good material for crafting defensive gear.

The fur was useless to Lin Fan, but it would be immensely useful for his little apprentice.

"Ding, congratulations on discovering the beast-taming manual 'Beast Taming Art.' Would you like to learn?"

"Learn."

At that moment, a vast amount of previously unknown knowledge flooded Lin Fan's mind.

It explained how to subdue ferocious beasts and tame them into one's companion beasts.

A so-called companion beast is a martial artist using special methods to tame a ferocious beast cub into their guardian. If the master dies, the companion beast also dies, but the companion beast's death does not harm the master.

But this technique, though seemingly powerful, was quite useless.

No martial artist was willing to spend time raising a cub.

And while ferocious beast cubs were easy to find, cubs of powerful ferocious beasts were extremely rare.

Thus, for current martial artists, it was better to save that time and focus on improving their own strength.

"Ding, 'Beast Taming Art' is interconnected with the secondary profession Life Mentor. Can be fused. Would you like to fuse into the secondary profession 'Tamer'?"

Lin Fan had initially planned to study it first, but upon hearing the system prompt, his heart skipped a beat.

Tamer...

Tame...

At that moment, Lin Fan's face flushed slightly, showing an embarrassed smile, but inside he was full of anticipation.

What kind of secondary profession was a Tamer?

From the sound of it, it seemed quite powerful.

Lin Fan then thought of some unsavory images, but quickly shook his head, putting on a serious expression. As the sixth Sect Master of the Saint Demon Sect on Nameless Peak, how could he have such thoughts?

In the future, he was destined to be an upright and towering Supreme Emperor, worshipped by the world.

The successor who would lead the fallen Saint Demon Sect back to glory.

This secondary profession, just by its name, didn't sound like a good skill. As a man of integrity, how could he fuse such a skill?

No, absolutely not.

"Fuse..." At that moment, Lin Fan said with a straight face, overturning all the hesitation that had just appeared in his mind.

In Lin Fan's view, people are not divided by rank, and skills are not divided by good or evil; everything depends on the user.

And this secondary profession, 'Tamer,' would surely shine in his hands, taming countless talents and benefiting the world.

"Ding, congratulations on successful fusion."

"Tamer: No level."

"Tamer: Tames all things under heaven, strives to make them talented, comes with a taming aura."
