Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 26 Coveting the Secret Technique
"It's not difficult to borrow my wolves for breeding, but you'll have to exchange them for the beast taming techniques of your Ten Thousand Beasts Manor!" Cha Nan's words caused even the expression of Xishan Yiku Gui, an enemy of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, to change.

This is the cognitive gap that Cha Nan has created because she hasn't truly integrated into this world.

Although he had read many martial arts novels and watched many martial arts TV series, his way of thinking was still that of a modern person. He did not take the so-called unique secret techniques too seriously and subconsciously believed that they all had a price and were negotiable.

But for people in the martial arts world, their core skills and livelihood are not worth mentioning.

Even a simple request for passage from Xishan could lead to a fight, so Cha Nan's words were like stirring up a hornet's nest.

"What an arrogant brat, trying to make us eat as soon as he opens his mouth."

"So, stealing the Nine-Tailed Fox was premeditated!" With these two sentences, amidst the rumbling of a hundred beasts running, everyone witnessed a strange sight.

Five people, each leading a group of wild beasts, rushed off in five different directions across the snow-covered plains.

These wild beasts were clearly well-trained; they did not fight or bite each other, but ran in groups, east or west, without any disorder.

The five groups of wild beasts gradually approached and formed a large circle, which surrounded Cha Nan, Guo Fu, and the ghosts from the Western Mountain Cave.

Two hunting wolves gathered around Cha Nan, looking at these various wild beasts with disdain and contempt in their eyes!
The wolf brother let out a long howl, the sound of which echoed across the fields. The beasts that had been in neat rows and clearly arranged in formation were all startled, and the once distinct ranks began to fall into chaos. They barely managed to regain their composure amidst a series of whistles, some long and some short.

However, the original savage, domineering, and powerful atmosphere has largely dissipated.

Cha Nan patted Wolf Brother's head, rubbed his wolf head, and showed a satisfied smile.

In the world of fantasy beasts, if you call them "dogs," they won't complain.

But in this martial arts world, among these beasts, they should be called Howling Moon Silver Wolves.

“They are indeed good wolves!” All five men, dressed in short robes made of animal skins, stood about six or seven feet away from Cha Nan. Their eyes, which looked at the two hunting wolves beside Cha Nan, were filled with obvious greed and desire. On the contrary, the bright and beautiful Guo Fu beside him was like a wildflower or weed by the roadside to these five men, who did not even give her a second glance.

The one speaking at this moment is Shi Shugang, the third of the five brothers of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, the Green-Armored Lion King.

In terms of strength, he is the strongest of the five brothers and is the undisputed head of the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor.

"Of course it's a good wolf!"

"Judging from your expressions... you're not planning to steal it, are you!" Cha Nan's words were harsh. If it was unintentional before, it was intentional now.

Sensing the change in atmosphere, he realized the impropriety of his earlier words.

Since that's the case, then we'll just have to light another fire and have a direct battle with the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, showcasing the excellence of our two hunting wolves and making them crave more.

As for whether wolf hunters can produce offspring with ordinary wolves in the martial arts world...

This issue requires further research.

"Your Excellency is inevitably judging others by your own petty standards. Although my Ten Thousand Beasts Manor dares not compare itself to any prestigious sect, it is not a group of tyrannical people either." The fourth brother, Shi Jiqiang, had a fiery temper. Hearing Cha Nan's words, he directly refuted her, thus blocking her way out.

"Alright, this wolf is good, but the beasts we tame ourselves are all extraordinary. There's no need to envy others."

"The Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox is more important!" said the eldest brother, Spearman.

"Brother, we've been guarding this nine-tailed fox for over a month before finally managing to corner it here. We're grateful for your help, and we'll prepare a reward for capturing it!"

In other words, what Spewer said was: the Nine-Tailed Fox and the others wanted it, but at a high price, they should tell Cha Nan to give up on his dreams. "The Ten Thousand Beasts Manor is truly impressive!"

"It is said that when hunting in the mountains, everyone should rely on their own abilities. Since this young brother has hunted this nine-tailed spirit fox, it is naturally his."

"You think you can force a sale with just a few words?" the troublemaker from the Western Mountain Cave said mockingly. He wasn't defending Cha Nan, but he just didn't get along with the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor and was looking for an opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks and stir up trouble.

Despite the troublemaker's provocations, Cha Nan remained unperturbed. As a dark-skinned sports student, she had heard countless trash talk on the field and in the locker room. If she were so easily provoked and her mood was ruined, then her mentality would be too poor.

“As far as I know, this nine-tailed spirit fox should already have an owner!” With that, Cha Nan took the nine-tailed spirit fox from the wolf’s mouth, parted the long fur on its neck, and revealed a bronze Bagua plaque worn inside.

"Hey! This looks just like the Iron Bagua from our Peach Blossom Island!" Guo Fu exclaimed in surprise.

Little did she know the uproar that her words would cause to those with ulterior motives.

How many people in the martial arts world don't know Peach Blossom Island, or Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic who lives there, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the couple who live on Peach Blossom Island?
"Hahaha! So it's already taken!"

"Then we'll find its owner and ask for a bowl of spirit blood as a reward!" Shi Shugang, of course, wouldn't let his elder brother lose face at this moment, so as the person involved, he stepped forward and took the initiative to speak.

The purpose of this hunt for the nine-tailed spirit fox is to obtain a bowl of spirit fox blood to heal its internal injuries.

Seeing that the group was not responding, Cha Nan grew angry and casually tossed aside the nine-tailed fox that had been pretending to be dead in her hand.

The little creature came to life the moment it was thrown out. It landed on a tree branch in mid-air and started climbing. Before the monkeys trained by the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor could catch up, it leaped from the treetop into the distance, about to disappear into the vast snowfield.

"You little rascal! You...!"

"What do you mean, 'you'? I have no right to deal with other people's pets. What's wrong with releasing it back into the wild?" Cha Nan shut Shi Jiqiang down.

This fourth master of the Shi family had a fiery temper and could no longer tolerate it. Without even calling out to the ferocious beasts that were afraid of the wolf hunters, he pounced on Cha Nan on his own.

He wielded a bronze pestle and slammed it down on Cha Nan, unleashing a deadly attack without any intention of holding back.

Before Cha Nan could react, the two hunting wolves beside him simultaneously erupted in anger, spewing air cannons from their mouths.

With a thud, the Fourth Master of the Shi family flew back as soon as he lunged forward.

"They actually know internal energy?" The Shi brothers' eyes lit up, even Shi Jiqiang, who had suffered a loss, was the same.

For many years, they had been taming wild beasts in the mountains, always thinking about how to teach their beasts internal energy cultivation techniques. If they could succeed, with the help of those thousands of beasts, the four brothers could roam the martial world alone. Even if the gates of the world were to open wide and powerful beings from all realms came to this world, they would still be able to secure a place for themselves.

However, there has been no progress over the years.

No matter how simple an internal energy cultivation method is, it still requires a certain level of understanding and practice, while those wild beasts do not have such opportunities or aptitude.

"You want to learn our Beast Taming Secrets from the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor?"

“Sure! Join our Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, and we’ll give you the sixth seat!” Uncle Shi said, his true intentions quite obvious.

Cha Nan only coveted their beast-taming techniques, while they coveted Cha Nan herself, wanting to devour her and the techniques together.
