Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 110 I Still Have a Chance (Long Chapter)

Yuntai Valley is located in the Yunwu Mountains and is shrouded in mist all year round. The mist only dissipates at noon, revealing the entrance inside. Otherwise, it is easy to get lost and wander around outside without being able to enter the valley.

There were a total of sixty-nine beast tamers participating in the spirit beast competition. Among them, several were at the peak of Qi Refining, half were at the late stage of Qi Refining, and the rest were cultivators with low strength at the mid-stage of Qi Refining who planned to try their luck by taming beasts.

Because the spirit beast competition mainly tests the skill of beast taming, and the number of disciples on the Beast Taming Peak is small, such competitions generally do not endanger the lives of cultivators, and the elders who support the competition will also keep an eye on things.

"Alright, time's up. The first round of the competition begins. You may all go in," the white-bearded old man said calmly, his eyes half-open.

"Haha, I'm starting to get excited!" Fang Caifeng rubbed his hands together excitedly after seeing the beast tamers ahead of him go in one after another, and said, "Brother Yu, do you want to go in together later? With me here, I can protect you for a while."

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "No need, you should take care of yourself."

"There are many spiritual fruits in this Yuntai Valley that can only grow in special environments. If you're lucky, you might even be able to pick some," Fang Caifeng asked Mu Zeyu, who was standing next to him.

"Junior Brother Mu, I heard from you that you have a conflict with Lei Kai. What are your plans after you go in?"

"He's at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he has a peak first-tier spirit beast under his command. If he gets caught, things could get very bad."

"Although the rules of the spirit beast competition stipulate that no one can be killed, mistakes can happen in battle. There are several cases every year of people being seriously injured, dying, having their dantian shattered, or having their cultivation ruined. Why don't you come with me? The two of you can look after each other."

Hearing this, Mu Zeyu was moved, but still shook his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Fang. I would be a burden to you if I stayed by your side. I'd better go on my own. With Cangxinhu around, I won't be caught so easily."

Fang Caifeng thought about it and agreed. The Hidden Heart Fox was quite adept at concealing its aura, and its innate skill could also help cultivators hide. Unless one's divine sense was too strong and could directly break through its concealment, it would be really difficult to find it.

"Alright, then be careful!" Fang Caifeng said, then laughed loudly at Yu Changsheng.

"Brother Yu, I'm going in first. Watch how I snatch the cloud platform!"

After saying that, Fang Caifeng's figure disappeared into the mist ahead.

The fog in Yuntai Valley has lessened considerably, but once inside, visibility and spiritual awareness will still be affected. You can take this opportunity to avoid powerful enemies and head to other areas on the edge.

"I'm leaving too," Mu Zeyu said goodbye and went inside.

Yu Changsheng glanced behind him and saw Lei Kai staring at him with a mocking expression, as if waiting for him to go in first before they went in together.

"Is this hatred transferred to me?" Yu Changsheng chuckled, then stepped into the mist.

The fog, which was very restrictive to others, was as if it didn't exist under Yu Changsheng's divine sense.

"Fang Caifeng has gone astray; he's going to take a long detour now."

"Forget it, let that guy wander around a bit more, lest he be eliminated soon after he gets in."

"Mu Zeyu is interesting. Is this the innate spell of the Hidden Heart Fox? His aura is a bit weak. It's really hard to find his location in the mist when he's at the peak of Qi Refining."

"Everyone else, disperse. Miao Wenlun, this guy gives me a dangerous feeling, let's stay away."

Yu Changsheng used his divine sense to gaze at Miao Wenlun in the distance, and finally turned his head towards the direction with the fewest peak Qi Refining cultivators.

Behind him, he saw Lei Kai's figure and couldn't help but smile, slowing his pace.

"I'll wait for you, in case you get lost."

Yu Changsheng, like a fisherman, released his aura little by little, pulling Lei Kai towards him.

You're just a mere eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, on the same level as him. I really don't know what gives you the audacity to cause trouble for him. In that case, let's eliminate you first!

Yu Changsheng said silently to himself, and then stepped out of the fog.

Yuntai Valley has many different environments, such as forests, swamps, wetlands, hot rock areas, and glaciers. The number of monsters living there is relatively small, unlike the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm where they gather together. Most of them live alone in one place.

Yu Changsheng walked out of this place, which was close to the glacier. The surrounding plants were covered with frost, and the air was very cold. There was white frost on his feet when he stood here.

Fortunately, cultivators have magical powers that can keep them warm, unlike ordinary people who shiver from the cold.

"The temperature in this area is really low. I wonder what kind of monsters live here." Yu Changsheng was waiting for someone and wasn't in a hurry to travel. He carefully sensed the surrounding environment.

After waiting for a few minutes, Yu Changsheng finally looked away and saw a figure walking towards him from the mist behind him.

"So slow," Yu Changsheng muttered.

"Hahaha, kid, I've got you!"

Riding a giant wolf with blue markings, Lei Kai saw the lone Yu Changsheng and excitedly shouted, "Today I'll show you what happens when you offend me! Silver Howling Wolf, kill him!"

Beneath Lei Kai's mount, the Silver Howl Wolf, at the peak of the first tier, let out a deep roar. Immediately afterward, the surrounding trees shattered, and the sound waves swept towards Yu Changsheng.

"A sonic attack, you know."

Yu Changsheng remained calm. He was already prepared when the Silver Howling Wolf opened its mouth to unleash its innate spell. His figure flashed quickly and disappeared from the spot.

Shadow Flash!

Seeing Yu Changsheng suddenly disappear before his eyes, Lei Kai was stunned for a moment, and then in the next instant, he found the other party's trace, appearing twenty meters away to his left.

He immediately realized what was happening and snorted coldly.

"Did you think you could just dodge it with your agility?"

"My Silver Howling Wolf's innate magic includes a sonic attack that locks onto your aura even faster; you can't escape!"

"Silver Howling Wolf, Sonic Boom!"

Lei Kai kicked off the Silver Howling Wolf with both legs.

Silver Howl Wolf let out a low growl, and a thick column of sound shot out like an inverted tornado, heading straight for Yu Changsheng's location.

"Boom!"

The sonic boom was extremely powerful; trees collapsed wherever it passed, the ice on the ground shattered instantly, and the white frost and snowflakes that rose several meters high were sent flying.

"The innate spells of a first-tier peak demon beast are indeed powerful, no less than those of a first-tier peak cultivator."

Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly, then made a hand seal and summoned.

"Red Snake!"

The next second, the Crimson Serpent's massive body burst out of the white light, roared, and its scales glowed blue.

Water Illusion Armor!

"Bang!"

The Water Illusion Armor primarily grants immunity to physical damage, but it makes the Crimson Serpent's body incredibly smooth. Other spells might deal more damage, but the sonic waves deal relatively less damage.

The red serpent's body bent halfway after being hit, like a drawn bowstring, and bounced back, the vibrations spreading out as sound waves.

"Shh!"

Having endured countless beatings, the Crimson Serpent was filled with pride. This sonic attack was nothing to it, nothing compared to the terror of the boss's Soul-Stepping Technique.

"A fully-formed Crimson Serpent?" Lei Kai was somewhat surprised.

He knew about red snakes; they were common. However, a fully grown red snake was rare. It would take at least ten or even several decades to cultivate one like this!

Even his Silver Howling Wolf only underwent one transformation, reaching its mature form.

Lei Kai was a little envious and shouted.

"The corpse of the Crimson Serpent can fetch a good amount of spirit stones. Even if we don't get a top ranking in the spirit beast competition, killing it won't be a loss!"

"Silver Howling Wolf, use Howling Moon!"

The sound waves from Howling Moon can penetrate the scales and directly attack the spirit, soul, or the flesh and blood inside.

Moreover, the Howling Moon's attack range is very wide, making it difficult for Yu Changsheng and the Crimson Serpent to dodge!

A pale blue spiritual light shone from the Silver Howling Wolf's body. Stimulated by the demonic power, its fur stood on end, and it opened its mouth fiercely, emitting a sharp howl.

"Aww!"

Xiaoyue's roar shattered the surrounding ice, turning hard ice stones into powder under the sound waves.

Even from a distance of a hundred meters, the Crimson Serpent sensed something was wrong the moment the Silver Howling Wolf launched its attack, because it was all too familiar with this kind of attack that targeted the soul!

Having been beaten by the colorful star deer for so long, it had gained experience in this area!

So as soon as the sound wave came, the Crimson Serpent immediately swung its tail, wrapping itself in the center, like shrinking into a ball, with the outermost layer being a smooth Water Illusion Armor.

"Bang--!"

The sound waves from Xiaoyue struck the scales of the Crimson Serpent, causing a small indentation, and then penetrated through layers of flesh and blood.

But the Crimson Serpent is a serpent, and these layers wrap around it, requiring several layers to penetrate towards the center!

When the sound wave reached the center of the snake ball, its power had weakened considerably. The Crimson Serpent immediately dispelled its defensive stance and excitedly shouted at Yu Changsheng.

"Shh!"

Master, did you see what I did?

This is a method I came up with after thinking about it for several days, specifically designed to deal with the soul-trampling ability of the Rainbow Star Deer!

Although I haven't yet tested how effective this defensive stance is under the Soul Step, it's quite good against the Silver Howling Wolf's attacks so far!

Silver Howl Wolf was also a bit dumbfounded, seeing his attack neutralized like this for the first time.

Lei Kai gritted his teeth and shouted, "I refuse to believe I can't defeat you, you Crimson Serpent!"

"Come forth, Wind and Cloud Goose!"

Seeing that the Silver Howling Wolf's attacks were somewhat countered, Lei Kai immediately summoned a second beast.

"Hahaha, two beasts against one of you, and you still can't take them down?"

Lei Kai laughed loudly, but before he could finish, his laughter froze on his face.

Because Yu Changsheng summoned two at once!

"Golden-winged Eagle, Colorful-starred Deer, come out and play with him."

The golden-winged eagle made its appearance, its crown gleaming brightly. It stood tall and proud, exuding an aura of majesty and arrogance.

However, this arrogance didn't last even a second before it vanished completely under the gaze of the colorful star deer. It lowered its head, sculpted itself, and chuckled foolishly.

"Yo-yo!" Cai Xinglu glanced at the enemies, a Silver Howling Wolf at the peak of the first tier and a Wind and Cloud Goose at the eighth level of the first tier, and immediately felt a little bored.

If it were the Blue Deer before, it might have felt some pressure and might have lost to the Silver Howling Wolf or the Wind and Cloud Goose.

But now, it could suppress the Wind and Cloud Goose with just a slight move, so it lost interest, turned its head to admire the scenery, and shouted at the Golden-Winged Eagle.

"Yo."

That means, it's up to you.

The golden-winged eagle patted its chest, assuring everyone there would be no problem.

It turned its head and stared at the Wind-Cloud Goose with a fierce look, then immediately flapped its wings and took flight.

Like the Golden-Winged Eagle, the Wind-Cloud Goose is a second-tier demon beast.

However, the Wind Goose only has the wind attribute, and its main innate spells are also wind-related, while the Golden-Winged Eagle has the metal attribute in addition to the wind attribute.

At the same time, the Wind and Cloud Goose is in its first mature form after a metamorphosis, while the Golden-Winged Eagle is in its second complete form after a metamorphosis!

However, Fengyunyan also has an advantage, which is that its realm is one level higher than that of the Golden-Winged Eagle, which is only at the seventh level of the first rank.

So we really have to play a serious match to find out who's stronger!

"Why do you have so many beasts?"

When Lei Kai saw the golden-winged eagle facing off against Feng Yunyan, and then saw the colorful star deer admiring the scenery, he couldn't accept the fact and started shouting loudly.

It should be understood that the spiritual sense of Qi cultivators is limited. After cultivating the Beast Taming Technique, a range of two hundred meters is considered strong. Contracting with beasts requires spiritual sense as a soul imprint, and the inner realm also requires the expansion of spiritual sense as a foundation.

Therefore, a Qi Refining stage cultivator is already powerful enough to contract with two heads, and a peak Qi Refining stage cultivator might be able to contract with three heads.

Of course, the contracted beasts mentioned above are all extraordinary, with normal bloodlines and considerable strength. If they are mid-stage first-tier beasts with poor bloodlines, then three or four would also be acceptable.

But the three beasts Lei Kai is seeing now are no pushovers.

Whether it's the Crimson Serpent, the Golden-Winged Eagle, or the Colorful Star Deer, they are all explosive existences among Qi Refining Beast Tamers!

"Three heads? Why?!" Lei Kai couldn't understand how the other party could contract three heads with a beast of this quality.

Just how vast is his inner world? And how strong is his spiritual consciousness?

Don't use your own understanding to estimate my strength.

Yu Changsheng sighed. He hadn't even made a move yet. His main purpose in facing Lei Kai now was to test the results of the Crimson Serpent and the Golden-Winged Eagle's training.

Otherwise, once he unleashes the Thousand Thoughts Slash, the battle would essentially be over.

A peak Qi Refining expert might put some pressure on you, but an eighth-level Qi Refining expert can only serve as a training subject.

"Don't get distracted! Quickly control your Wind and Cloud Goose, or we'll be defeated if we're not careful!" Yu Changsheng shouted to Lei Kai.

Upon hearing this, Lei Kai glanced at the battle and felt a wave of humiliation wash over him!

How could I possibly need the other party to give me pointers on combat?

What is this?!

"I'm going to kill you, I'm definitely going to kill you!"

Lei Kai was somewhat embarrassed and entered a state of mindless rage, using his divine sense to shout at Feng Yunyan and Yin Xiaolang.

"Create some distance, find the right opportunity, and together we'll take one down!"

Seeing the gap between himself and Yu Changsheng, Lei Kai felt nothing but anger.

The other person was so young, yet he had already contracted three beasts. Such a genius made him feel jealous and hateful.

If he had known all this before taking action today, he might have remained in hiding and dared not rashly start a conflict with Yu Changsheng.

But now that we've already started, we have no choice but to fight to the bitter end!

"I still have a chance!" Lei Kai shouted in his heart.
