Chapter 165: A Gunshot from Yongnan!_3
It was a "Teleport" character.
With the Jade Talisman in hand, Lin Zhennan uttered a low shout and swiftly crushed it.
The next moment, Thunder Light that had alarmed the entire Yongnan City vanished into thin air.
The small Teleport Talisman, capable of instantaneously traversing a thousand miles.
The cost of such a talisman was comparable to dozens of Space Rings, and even for a martial arts expert at the Sky Soaring Realm, using it once would be agonizingly expensive.
At this moment, the face of Lin Zhennan, who crushed it, held shock and anger.
Yet, there was not the slightest hesitation.
...
Following Lin Su's instructions, Mu Yuxing knelt on one knee atop the head of the Golden Feathered Vulture and gently stroked its proud head with one hand.
As Mu Yuxing attempted what Lin Su called "Guardian Beast Co-operation," all the surrounding skepticism and every obstacle temporarily ceased.
No matter what, everyone's goal was to obtain the true Secret Technique.
Now that Mu Yuxing was trying, anyone who dared to obstruct or interfere would be subdued by the collective efforts of the crowd.
Under the anxious gaze of the onlookers, Mu Yuxing slowly closed his eyes.
The Golden Feathered Vulture was his first Guardian Beast and the one that had been with him the longest.
According to Lin Su's description, among the four Guardian Beasts he had contracted, it was most likely the one with the greatest potential to achieve the so-called Guardian Beast Co-operation with him.
"Jin Yun," he inquired in a low voice through Telepathy, "you heard what Lin Su said, didn't you? Are you willing to give it a try?"
Through Telepathy, the Golden Feathered Vulture sent Mu Yuxing an affirmative response.
Soon, the two began to try opening their hearts fully to each other, using this method to continuously deepen and reinforce the connection brought about by the Guardian Beast Contract.
The outer walls of the purple-black Beast Taming Space began to show invisible fluctuations.
Mu Yuxing could clearly feel that, during this process, the bond with his Guardian Beast was rapidly strengthening, and there seemed to be a tendency for them to completely fuse as one.
Could it really be possible...?
A surge of excitement appeared in Mu Yuxing's heart.
He took a deep breath and focused more intently on controlling himself and the Golden Feathered Vulture.
Just as the two were about to merge into one, he suddenly let out a stifled grunt.
A barrier had suddenly emerged around him and the Golden Feathered Vulture.
The barrier wasn't thick, but it was incredibly firm.
No matter how hard he and the Golden Feathered Vulture tried, it wouldn't budge.
He had a premonition that if this barrier were broken, he might indeed be able to fuse into one with the Golden Feathered Vulture, just like Lin Su had done.
But at this moment...
Both person and beast continued to try, yet each attempt ended in failure in front of that barrier.
Finally, after more than a dozen attempts, Mu Yuxing reluctantly opened his eyes, "I couldn't do it, but I have already felt the barrier you spoke of."
Lin Su nodded slightly, not surprised.
As Elder Mu and the Golden Feathered Vulture tried earlier, a faint light of Guardian Beast Co-operation actually appeared on both person and beast, but that light was extremely weak and very unstable, almost disappearing in an instant.
To reach this step, Elder Mu and the Golden Feathered Vulture's bond co-operation index must be above 90.
Believing that after realizing the importance of the bond and intentionally developing in this direction, it wouldn't take too long for Elder Mu to improve the final few points of the bond co-operation index.
"You all should have seen it," he turned his head, looking at the crowd, "Although Elder Mu did not succeed, there were signs, and I saw that other Beast Tamers were also trying according to my method, but without any signs appearing, which indicates that the bond with their beasts is not deep enough. This should be sufficient to prove what I've said." Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
The crowd fell into a slight silence.
When a slim Cooperation Light emerged on Mu Yuxing and the Golden Feathered Vulture, showing signs similar to those of Lin Su, their belief in Lin Su's words had shifted from complete disbelief to somewhat believing.
But at this moment, they still harbored many doubts in their hearts, so they still couldn't fully believe Lin Su.
"Even if, as you say, a deep enough bond with one's beast allows a Beast Tamer to merge with his beast..." A formidable figure in the crowd seemed unwilling to accept this, speaking out, "Then you, a kid not even twenty years old, who has been a Beast Tamer for how long? By what means do you possess such a deep bond with your beast?"
Lin Su's brows furrowed slightly, he was about to retort when another voice spoke out more quickly.
"Silence!" Hong Yuan barked, his gaze shifting to the person who had questioned, "President Li, shut your mouth!"
Once the surroundings fell silent because he had spoken up, Hong Yuan looked deeply at Lin Su, "Regarding the matter of the bond you spoke of, the Union will find a way to verify. Let's put an end to this for now. Next, we will present the reward to the victor of the final round. After receiving it, you may leave on your own."
"Humph! Absolute nonsense!" Wu Tong, who had been silent all along, suddenly huffed and stepped forward quickly, only stopping when Mu Yuxing stared at him warily, then turned angrily back at Hong Yuan, "The grievances suffered by young friend Lin Su cannot be so easily set aside!"
Wu Tong turned to look at Lin Su, his face bearing a smile, "Young friend Lin Su, my earlier intervention to stop you from leaving was also for the greater good. If it has caused any dissatisfaction, I hope you can forgive me."
"Seeing the strength of the Great Yan Beast Taming Union pressure a young friend to give up the secret of Guardian Beast Cooperation, I truly feel it is unfair to you," Wu Tong continued, pausing briefly before shaking his head with a look of regret, "As an onlooker, I am filled with anger at the sight!"
"Such things would definitely not happen within my Yun Hao Empire," Wu Tong shook his head with a light sigh, "It's a pity that a child of heaven like young friend Lin Su was not born in my Yun Hao Empire."
"How about... Young friend, consider joining the Yun Hao Empire?" Wu Tong clapped his hands, "My Yun Hao Empire is far stronger than Great Yan, and at each competition among nations, prodigies are selected by the major sects and taken as disciples, so we have quite a connection with the major sects. If young friend were in my Yun Hao Empire..."
Wu Tong's voice paused, "With your situation, I fear that you wouldn't even need to go through the competition among nations; the Immortal Phoenix Sect would certainly be willing to take you as a disciple. Success is within reach; why stay in such a remote corner and suffer grievances? To date, not a single Beast Tamer of Great Yan has been taken in by the Immortal Phoenix Sect, unable to connect with the major sects. Staying here, you are merely delaying your own prospects."
"Envoy, you are taking this too far," Hong Yuan's expression darkened slightly, "We have no intention of harming Lin Su, and moreover, this is a matter of Great Yan. It is inappropriate for the envoy to intervene at this moment."
What he feared most had still come to pass.
After Lin Su revealed the secret of Guardian Beast Cooperation, as the voices of skepticism grew louder and the demands became more excessive, Hong Yuan had already sensed that trouble was brewing.
Thus, he didn't hesitate to step forward now, changing his previous stance, intending to calm things down first and quickly let Lin Su leave.
As for whether the secret of Guardian Beast Cooperation was true or false, that could wait until the envoy left.
