Eternal Beast Taming Family

Looking at the composed Muhrin, Chu Shengfan stood somewhat stunned on the bronze battle stage.

Chu Shengfan wouldn't feel anything if those who opposed him died at his hands, but he really couldn't bring himself to kill such an open and honest man who had no grudges against him.

His disgust for the Jingyuan royal family has now reached its peak. If he really has the ability and skill, why doesn't he go and conquer the many forbidden areas outside the city?

Instead, they're putting on a show of human contractors killing each other.

The shimmering dome on the bronze battle platform flickered, and the two wolf-shaped source beasts sensed their master's increasingly violent thoughts, causing their spiritual energy to surge wildly.

They defied Muhlin's command and a pack of demonic wolves with dark purple forms rushed out from beside the "Nightmare Wolf Lord" and charged toward Chu Shengfan.

The "Elemental Spirits" reacted even faster, with tentacles composed of various elements condensing from the ground. Before the wolf shadows could even get close, they were dispersed into the air.

Seeing that Chu Shengfan had not made a move yet, and that his own source beast had directly resisted his order to stop attacking, Muhelin opened his eyes, a fierce glint flashing between his brows.

"Stop! Are you two starting to disobey me now?"

Upon hearing his stern shout, the two wolf-shaped source beasts stiffened abruptly, and then suppressed whimpers escaped from their mouths.

Muhelian gently stroked the heads of the two source beasts and whispered:

"My dears, after I die, you will return to Somo with your teacher. The family will continue to support you, and you will take my place in protecting the family. This is our promise, which will never change for thousands of years."

The two source beasts knelt beside Muhelian, their whimpers continuing.

Muhe patted them on the shoulder, forcibly pulling them back into his Origin Beast Space, before turning to look in Chu Shengfan's direction.

"In my opinion, Young Master Chu is a man who keeps his promises, so I'll leave the two source beasts to him."

Our battles no longer need to involve unnecessary attrition.

If you have the chance, Young Master Chu must go and see Somo. Every year at this time, the wolf shadow flowers bloom brilliantly, covering the mountains and fields...

As he spoke, the light in Muhrin's eyes gradually dimmed, and his figure slowly turned into a cloud of blood mist, dissipating into the air.

A soft sigh echoed across the entire bronze battle arena, as if there was an unfinished sentence.

"...I really want to go see it again..."

Chu Shengfan silently looked at the blood mist that was drifting in the air and condensing uncertainly. He used the same method he had just used to condense the blood mist back into place.

This time, however, it did not condense into a blood pill, but was instead pressed into the shape of a red jade pendant, with the golden light on it forming the three characters "Muhrin".

Chu Shengfan looked at the three wolf-shaped source beasts that had reappeared on the stage because of Muhelin's death. Two of them were the same two Domain-level beasts he had seen earlier.

The one that appeared later had snow-white fur and looked more like a fox than a wolf. Chu Shengfan looked at its name, "Silver Snow Sky Wolf," which was a wolf species that looked very powerful.

Unfortunately, Muhrin never had the chance to raise it to adulthood.

Seeing that they were three weak wolf-shaped source beasts, Chu Shengfan hung the blood-red jade pendant that Muherin had transformed into around the neck of the "Nightmare Wolf Lord".

In this way, they can stay together for thousands of years.

After collecting all three source beasts, Chu Shengfan became noticeably more silent. He could still collect corpses now, but would anyone be there for him in the future...?

The second match is over, but there's still a third match to come.

The battle arena merged once again. Chu Shengfan looked at his opponent this time, a young man who seemed somewhat deranged. Chu Shengfan had some recollection of him.

In the previous trials, he was a ruthless person who could face off against a high-level Origin Beast while only at the lower level of the Domain Rank.

His initial impression on Chu Shengfan was that of a bright and flamboyant young man, but now his eyes are full of bloodlust, and he seems to have turned into a fierce and warlike beast.

Chu Shengfan's lips curled into a bitter smile. This training ground was the place where human contract masters grew up, clearly turning one normal, bright person after another into one crazy beast after another.

The disheveled young man opposite him regained some clarity in his eyes after seeing that Chu Shengfan was his opponent. He looked at Chu Shengfan's pure and untainted aura, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Why... do you still look the same as you did at the beginning?"

His voice was hoarse, as if he had just experienced a severe mental breakdown.

Chu Shengfan sighed softly, "Maybe it's because of luck."

"Luck." The boy silently pondered the word, then suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. "What luck? There's luck in this place? Isn't it all pre-arranged?"

He suddenly looked up at the sky. "So, this time, I'm doomed too? Then why did I survive the last one? What right did I have to live?"

This boy had clearly witnessed Chu Shengfan fighting against more than a dozen high-level Origin Beasts of the Domain Rank by himself, which is why he let out such a roar.

Chu Shengfan was silent for a moment, then spoke, "How about... we fight again after you've calmed down? They haven't set a time limit anyway."

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, the young man stared at Chu Shengfan blankly for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the ground. A long time passed—so long that Chu Shengfan felt as if he had turned into a stone statue—before his hoarse voice finally rang out.

"Do you know how I won the last match?"

In the previous match, Chu Shengfan's attention was focused on Muhelin, so he naturally didn't notice the situation on the adjacent fighting stage. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The boy covered his face with his blood-stained hand, and a muffled sound came from his palm.

"I killed my senior brother. He was so good to me. Our teacher was very busy, and he was the one who taught me the knowledge of the academy. But here I actually killed him. Why...?"

Tears mixed with blood flowed from the boy's palms, as if he were dissecting his own heart over and over again.

Chu Shengfan slowly clenched his fist, feeling only relief that he had kept Xiao Yuan far away from him beforehand. If he had actually been on the same fighting stage as Xiao Yuan, he really wouldn't know what to do.

Looking at the suffering youth before him, Chu Shengfan spoke softly, "Did you really kill your senior brother with your own hands? Or did your senior brother willingly sacrifice himself?"

The boy's slightly twitching shoulders suddenly stiffened. He gently raised his head, revealing a confused and somewhat vulnerable expression.

"What's the difference? My senior brothers all died for me. I am a sinner, I am... a sinner."
