Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

"boom"

With a loud bang from his dantian, the magical power that had been compressed to the extreme burst forth.

The invisible and colorless magic instantly filled more meridians, and the large amount of magic made Chen Jiuge's physical strength reach a new level.

"Finally broke through to level two, but it was really difficult!"

It took Chen Jiuge a full seven days to break through from level one to level two, and he almost failed along the way.

It wasn't because of insufficient magical power, but because he hadn't used his dantian to cultivate for too long. After all, back in the True Realm, Chen Jiuge was already an immortal, and the dantian was a part that only mortals could access.

"Next, we should condense the second Nine Spirits Mark."

"Besides the Xuan Tan, I should also consider a second contracted beast!"

The level four turtle-dragon and lightning lion were only controlled by the Beast Taming Ring. Because their cultivation levels were too high, even if Chen Jiuge wanted to form a contract with them, it was not something he could do.

"However, I can postpone the contracted beast taming, since a level two beast taming is still too little of a help to me!"

Just like the Xuan Tan that was initially contracted, even after being modified by a large number of Yuan Dan, it only greatly increased its combat power and potential. It still needs some time to break through to the third level, and what Chen Jiuge lacks most right now is time.

"There are some people in Twilight Village who have quite a bit of talent; they could be nurtured!"

"Alas, it's a pity that Xingxia and the others are unwilling to join us!"

Not long ago, Xingxia and the other two rejected Chen Jiuge's proposal, but a few of the remaining level-three guards were willing to follow Chen Jiuge.

These people weren't very loyal, but they were still some fighting force. Chen Jiuge took them in, but kept them at Twilight Manor and didn't make them into the Dark Guard.

These fickle guards are too easily turned.

Regardless, Chen Jiuge was in a good mood after breaking through his cultivation level.

This is not just an increase in strength, but a transformation in the level of life!

"Slippery"

Sipping a delicious cup of the spiritual tea that Cai personally prepared, all worries seem to disappear.

"This is what life should be like!"

Before Chen Jiuge could enjoy it for long, Dong Qing brought someone to Chen Jiuge.

"Drought King? What brings you here? Did something happen at the arena?"

"My lord, there have indeed been some unexpected events at the arena. During this period, a large number of ferocious beasts bred by fourth-level beast tamers have entered the arena every day. The elite ferocious beasts you left behind are almost exhausted!" Drought King said anxiously.

"A level four beast tamer?"

Chen Jiuge chuckled lightly: "Interesting, an eye for an eye, huh?"

He used the Shadow Serpent to wreak havoc on the other nine arenas, and Dang Yue borrowed it to have a level four Beastmaster take action.

Although it's a bit tricky, it's still within the rules!
"Dong Qing, take Han Kui to the Beast Academy and select a batch of ferocious beasts. Just use those level three beasts in the corner; I'm afraid the weaker ones won't be of enough use!"

"Yes, owner!"

"Han Kui, you go with Dong Qing. Choose your beast, and I'll go back with you. I want to see just what a level four beast tamer is capable of!"

Hearing that the adults had gone back, Han Kui also breathed a sigh of relief.

Arena Number One
Despite having taken the stage multiple times, the Fiery Lion made a mistake and was choked by the Iron Wire Monkey on the other side. A large amount of blood splattered on the ground, eliciting cheers from the audience.

"Manager, we've lost!"

“I know!” Andrew looked at the sickle beside him with a livid face.

How many elite beasts do we still have?

"There's only one left!"

"Where is the master? Haven't we been able to contact him yet?"

"I don't know, but the Drought Demon went there three days ago. As soon as you come out of seclusion, you can contact him immediately!"

"Heh, it seems the beasts in the arena are still not up to par. With such a low level, granting them the privileges of a Level 4 Beastmaster isn't really enough!" Scythe mocked.

Taking a deep breath, Andrew said coldly, "That's not necessarily true!"

"Isn't there still an elite ferocious beast? Let it go!"

"But."

Seeing Andrew's cold gaze, the man dared not refute, and immediately bowed and stepped back to make arrangements.

"Andrew, you're not a newbie anymore, what's the point of doing this?"

The sickle-wielding man said sinisterly, "The warehouse owner greatly admires your abilities, as long as you're willing to pledge your allegiance to him."

"Shut up!"

Andrew's face turned ashen as he said, "Sickle, I, Andrew, may not be a good person, but it's impossible for you to side with your enemy!"

"Enemies?"

Sickle said strangely, "You don't hold a grudge against Lord Warehouse because of that little thing last time, do you?"

"A trivial matter?" Andrew said with a cold look in his eyes, "Thirty-six lives, you think that's a trivial matter?"

"Heh, a bunch of homeless kids. Even without the warehouse owner, they wouldn't have lived long. In fact, thanks to the warehouse owner's intervention, they at least enjoyed a real life for the last three months before they died. That's a kind of luck for them!" Sickle said nonchalantly.

"I was born a homeless child!"

"Could the rumors be true?" Scythe suddenly recalled the rumors that circulated among the lower levels when Andrew first joined Dark Star.

"Hehe, I understand!"

Sickle smiled and shook his head, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

As one of the loyal followers of Cangzhu Dangyue, Liandao has decided to find an opportunity to get rid of Andrew, but the most important thing now is to lure Chen Jiuge out and undermine his prestige.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the other Dark Star members in Arena One obey Chen Jiuge without question. It's because Chen Jiuge can bring them benefits. The more revenue the arena generates, the higher their salaries will be.

Moreover, no matter how the upper echelons fight, these lower-level staff will not be harmed, since whoever wins in the end is none of their business.

The only thing to watch out for is the Dark Hand's combatants!

However, Chen Jiuge has not yet formed his own Dark Hand Guard. Dang Yue has already made arrangements with the army commander, so they will not take action.

"It's a disgrace to our mountain city that a level one piece of trash could become King Kong. The Star Lord must be senile to choose such a person as King Kong!"

Although he felt disdain for it, he was mostly envious. He was a level four cultivator who had been with Dark Star for so many years, but he was still just a minor Dark Hand and hadn't even gotten a position.

"What's the situation now?"

Chen Jiuge returned to Arena No. 1 and happened to run into the host during the intermission.

"Ah, sir, you're finally back!"

The host wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "It's the warehouse owner!"

"Dangyue, the owner of the warehouse?"

Chen Jiuge frowned slightly: "I know, what's the situation on the field right now?"

"My lord, only one of the elite beasts you left behind remains. Almost all the other elite beasts have been killed. The beast that the scythe brought is very strong!"

"It hasn't started yet!"

"not yet!"

"Let's use this one next time!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Although Chen Jiuge has not been in charge of Arena No. 1 for long, his powerful beast-taming ability has been unanimously recognized by all members.

"It's starting!" The first to take the stage was the Iron Wall Black Ape brought by Sickle. This beast, which was originally just an ordinary level two ferocious beast, had long surpassed the limitations of its species after being carefully nurtured by a level four beast tamer.

The previous battles had not caused the Ironwall Chimpanzee much damage, and during the short break, its superficial wounds had completely healed!
"As expected of a ferocious beast carefully bred by a level four beast tamer!"

Backstage, Chen Jiuge felt the invincible aura of the Iron Wall Chimpanzee the moment he saw it.

"Without the help of the Chaos Pearl, I'm afraid my level three ferocious beast wouldn't be a match for it!"

"But what can I do? I have a cheat code."

"Smack, smack"

A frog the size of an adult was gnawing on the leg of an animal in its hand, making smacking noises.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? It's a rain frog!"

"Is the arena empty? They actually sent out a rain frog!"

"Hahaha, isn't this just giving away money?"

The host on stage was also sweating bullets, but this was Chen Jiuge's order, and he figured the master wouldn't joke about it.

"It's time to place your bets!"

"Party B wins with 5,000!"

"Party B wins with 10,000 points!"

Even the maids in the audience had never encountered anything like this before; it was absolutely insane!
After calculating all the bets, the backstage staff broke out in a cold sweat. If the Rain Frog lost this match, the No. 1 Arena would not only fail to make a profit this month, but would also lose all the money from the previous months.

"Sir, I hope your rain frog will be more effective!"

"Game start!"

With a whistle from the host, the Iron Wall Gorilla roared and charged toward the Rain Frog.

"Swish"

The frog remained still, simply flicking the beast's leg in its hand, causing the chunks of meat to vanish rapidly, leaving only a shattered bone.

The beast bone trembled slightly, and the Iron Wall Gorilla, which had just rushed in front of the Rain Frog, suddenly stopped. Its massive body instantly split into countless pieces of flesh!
"Rainy Frog wins!"

The host asked incredulously.

"really!"

"What just happened?"

"My money!"

"Match-fixing! Match-fixing!"

The protesters were mostly businessmen or white-collar workers with little cultivation and some money; those with cultivation at level three remained silent.

"A vibrating sword? A tree frog can actually learn such a superb skill as vibrating a sword! I've really learned something new!"

Sickle, his face ashen, turned and left, secretly thinking, "Although his cultivation is low and he's a waste, his beast-taming ability is truly unique. It's a pity the warehouse owner didn't provide enough funds; otherwise, buying Master Tianqing's trump card beast would have made things much simpler."

But Sickle knew this was impossible. Master Tianqing was not a so-called fourth-level beast tamer. He was the most powerful beast tamer in the entire mountain city, at the sixth level. His trump card beast was extremely expensive, and even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy it.

"However, it's not a good thing to be too attached to things that don't belong to you!"

Sickle shook his head inwardly. If he had lost outright, it would have meant he was not capable enough. If he had relinquished his position as King Kong or handed over Arena Number One, he might have been able to save his life. But now, well...

After leaving the No. 1 arena, Sickle continued walking straight outside, arriving at the slums of the mountain city, where he crouched down and crawled into a dilapidated shed.

"Fifty thousand coins, kill one!"

"Fifty thousand? That's a huge sum!"

There was only an old man with a broken leg in the shed, but Sickle did not underestimate him because of that.

This is a website that hires assassins. No one knows what kind of power is behind them, but the fact that they can openly operate this kind of business in a mountain city suggests that they are not an ordinary force.

"Name, cultivation level!"

The old man said casually.

"Chen Jiuge, level one, maybe level two, but definitely not above level three!"

"A cultivator below level three?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, then a piece of information flashed through his mind, and he frowned slightly, saying, "Chen Jiuge? The master of Twilight Manor, the new Vajra of Mountain City?"

"That's right, you wouldn't be too scared to accept it, would you!"

"Hmph, no need to test us. We still turn away business that comes to us, but 50,000 in earnings isn't enough!" the old man sneered.

"Fifty thousand coins isn't enough for a mere level three cultivator?" Sickle said discontentedly.

"Hehe, putting aside his identity for now, he has a level four tortoise-dragon by his side, so we can't just judge him by his own cultivation level!"

"Moreover, he's a Level 5 citizen!"

“Although we are not afraid of trouble, killing a level 5 citizen will make it impossible for my assassins to survive in this mountain city. This loss cannot be compensated by 50,000 coins!”

"A Level 5 citizen?" Sickle was startled, but remained outwardly calm.

"How much do you need?"

“This number!” the old man said, holding up one finger.

"Ten thousand in profits?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? One hundred thousand, that's one million! This is a Level 5 citizen, do you think it's as cheap as cabbage? Even the Star Lord of your Mountain City Dark Star is only a Level 4 citizen. If he had any Level 4 cultivation, I wouldn't even want to take this business!"

"I need to ask for permission!"

"Go ahead, go ahead, that old bastard Dang Yue has plenty of money!"

Sickle's pupils contracted, his vigilance towards the old man with the broken leg increased even further; this old guy was definitely not an ordinary person!

He stepped out of the shed and took out his communicator.

"Sir, they're asking for a million in profit!"

"One million? Is this old man crazy for money?"

After the initial shock, Dang Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know why it costs a million to make money?"

Although this old guy was asking for a high price, he was still following the rules.

"Sir, it's said to be because he's a Level 5 citizen!"

"A Level 5 citizen?" Dang Yue was startled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Never mind, a Level 5 citizen. In the past, I would never have offended him, but things are different now!"

"Tell that old man that a million dollars will be delivered to him tonight, but he has to take care of the person for me within seven days!"

Back in the shed, Sickle said in a deep voice, "My master has agreed. One million in profits will be delivered to you tonight."

"However, you must deal with him within seven days!"

"Don't worry, once the money is in place, my people will get to work immediately. No problem within seven days!"

"However, you should know the rules. We will make three moves, and after that, regardless of whether we succeed or not, we will not make any more moves!"

"understand!"

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go now!"

"Heh, one million in earnings, level five citizen, how interesting!"

The old man shook his head slightly. To be honest, the status of a Level 5 citizen is much higher than that of a Mountain City Vajra. He really didn't understand why such a person would choose to become a Dark Star Vajra. It was simply a waste!

However, he only takes the money to do the job; other matters are none of his concern. (End of Chapter)
