Do you know what mythical life is?

"Is this the tortoise you keep?"

Qin Muzhi stared at the large turtle that had surfaced from the water for a long time before turning his head away.

Not long ago, he even followed Lu Ping'an out because he was worried that Lu Ping'an might encounter danger, and saw the giant tortoise once.

At that time, the giant tortoise was only a little over two meters long.

A few days ago, when he threw the giant bear into the water, he also sensed the giant turtle, but at that time the turtle was not nearly as strong as it is now.

"Did the stone I threw into the water really have that much effect? ​​Or is there something special about the bloodline of this turtle beast?"

Qin Muzhi carefully examined the giant tortoise.

"Master, shall I let it attack you?" Lu Ping'an asked eagerly.

"bring it on."

Qin Muzhi nodded; he also wanted to see just how powerful this giant tortoise was.

"roar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant tortoise let out a deep, thunderous roar, its massive head suddenly turning around, its eyes locking onto Qin Muzhi.

With a powerful kick from its four legs, its massive body swiftly broke through the waves and surged towards the shore.

It carved a deep trench in the shallow water along the bank, and turbid mud mixed with water sprayed into the sky.

Upon reaching the shore, it suddenly raised its thick right forelimb, and its massive claw, covered with keratinous scales, carried immense force, crashing down on Qin Muzhi like a collapsing pillar of heaven.

The wind howled and water splashed everywhere.

Qin Mu's body remained as still as an ancient pine tree or a rock.

Just as the giant tortoise approached, he calmly raised his right hand, his robe sleeves fluttering in front of him like flowing clouds.

The movements are gentle and graceful.

It was as if he were simply brushing dust off his clothes.

However, an invisible force was generated, overwhelming and unstoppable.

The giant tortoise's ferocious strike, powerful enough to split rocks and shatter stone, landed on it, but it was as if it had been trapped in an endless, resilient wall of air, frozen in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.

"Not bad strength. In the Ancient Sea Realm, most True Martial Realm warriors might not be its match." Qin Muzhi exerted a little force with the palm in front of him, and the giant tortoise was instantly knocked back into the water.

"True Martial Realm?"

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up.

This was beyond his expectations.

After all, the giant turtle hasn't transformed yet.

"Master, let's try again!" Lu Ping'an took a deep breath. He wanted to see if the giant tortoise could fight against a True Qi Realm martial artist.

If possible, he could find a way to take down the True Qi Realm martial artist who wanted to assassinate him using his own strength.

As for revealing our hand...

He still had great faith in his master.

After all, this was the master he had become a disciple of through divination.

Moreover, his master was about to ascend to immortality and had truly passed on everything to him.

"Hmm? What other abilities does it have?"

Qin Muzhi was somewhat surprised, but then showed interest: "Then let's go."

"roar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant tortoise suddenly raised its head and let out a long roar that reverberated throughout the river bend.

Amidst the howling sound, a series of dense, popping sounds, as heavy as muffled thunder, suddenly emanated from within its massive body!

The next moment, its originally enormous body swelled inch by inch, its uneven surface resembling a tortoise shell engraved with mysterious patterns being constantly squeezed, cracked, and reassembled.

In the blink of an eye, its diameter surged to nine meters, making it look like a small mountain and exuding a terrifying aura.

"roar!"

The giant tortoise stared at Qin Muzhi, roared again, and kicked the riverbed with all four limbs.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and the river flowed backward.

Speed ​​and volume generate terrifying kinetic energy, compressing the air into visible white waves, as if to crush everything in front of it into dust!

"what?"

Qin Muzhi let out a soft "hmm".

He remembered that when he first met Lu Ping'an, Lu Ping'an appeared before him with this drastically increased size.

With a slight thought, he extended his palm, fingers spread, palm facing outward, and gently pressed it forward towards the terrifying beast that was crushing down upon him.

"boom!"

In an instant, an unstoppable, savage collision, heavy as ten thousand pounds, struck a point a foot in front of his palm as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of heaven and earth.

Everything vanished with that single press of his button.

He pushed it forward, and the giant turtle was pushed back into the river.

"Not bad, crushing ordinary True Qi Realm martial artists is no problem." Qin Muzhi nodded.

Then, as if he had thought of something, his gaze suddenly became intense, and he asked Lu Ping'an, "With your awakened beast-taming talent, do you have a contract space? Can you put this tortoise beast away?"

"Can."

Lu Pingan nodded.

Beast taming talent is not a rare talent. Some people who awaken beast taming talent can also, like him, store their beasts in their contract space.

"good!"

Qin Muzhi clapped his hands together.

"Ha ha!"

Then he laughed and said, "When you and I descend to the Immortal Mountain in a while, remember to bring this tortoise beast with you."

"Take it with you?"

Lu Ping'an was taken aback: "Master, you mean I should take it and fight against the disciples from the Upper Realm? Is that alright?"

"Why not?"

Qin Muzhi retorted, "Your talent lies in beast taming. To spar with others without using your beasts is like a soldier going into battle without weapons."

"In the Great World of Qian Yuan, there are people who are born carrying a celestial sword, and can fly on it even while still nursing. Do you expect them to fight without their own celestial sword?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Master."

Lu Pingan immediately spoke up.

This is a good thing for him. Since his master has said so, what else can he say?

Just listen.

"Someone's coming, let it go back."

Suddenly, Qin Muzhi's expression shifted, as if he had sensed something.

With a wave of his hand, an invisible wind swept by, instantly flattening the deep furrows plowed by the giant tortoise as it rushed ashore, while new sand covered the area from afar.

There is no trace of it.

Upon hearing Qin Muzhi's words, Lu Ping'an immediately shrunk the giant tortoise and sank it into the Yunxi River.

He then quickly returned to the city with Qin Muzhi.

"What's going on here?"

"Judging from the commotion just now, could it be that some large aquatic beast has come ashore?"

"Let's go. If no one was hurt, let's leave it alone. The commotion we just made is beyond our control."

Shortly after the two left, several martial artists from the Shanghe Town Fishing Gang gathered around and peered at the riverbank from a distance.

However, after looking around for a while, they didn't find anything unusual, only that the water was a bit murky.

At the bottom of the river, the giant turtle opened its cold, vertical pupils, glanced upwards, and then slowly closed them again.

……

"Master, I have heard that a martial artist who has just entered the True Qi Realm may come to assassinate me in the next two days."

On the way back to Yunxi County, Lu Pingan thought about it and finally decided that he had to tell his master about it.

After all, the giant tortoise is outside the city.

The True Qi Realm martial artist's target was him; he wouldn't go outside the city to look for the giant tortoise.

Moreover, even if he puts the giant tortoise into his beast-taming space, he might not be able to react in time if a True Qi Realm martial artist were to assassinate him.
