Chapter 639: Chapter 537 Winged Dragon

Fang Xing looked at the humanoid shadow shrouded in gray mist, feeling a mix of amusement and sympathy.

"An Emperor-quality Ghost Shadow, with its first skill being Deception, it’s different from Concealment as it involves direct deception... For instance, Er Ha can at most hide its own cultivation, which is self-targeted, while ’Deception’ targets others and external objects. For example, after deceiving the Bronze Holy Scripture, not only can’t it identify the Ghost Shadow, even if I asked it to identify the Earth Cracking Bear as Commander quality or King quality... it would take it as truth and display it..."

This ability is truly the divine skill of thieves and liars!

"And the second ability—Ghost Possession! The Ghost Shadow can possess the heart beast that kills it, completing a ’possession’, and siphoning the cultivation of that heart beast... The Ghost Shadow was originally just a Heart Image, but thanks to continually absorbing the cultivation of Old One-Eye, it finally turned into a Heart Beast..."

"This ability is almost invincible... If I fed Old One-Eye to a Royal-level, or even Legendary-level heart beast, could the Ghost Shadow similarly seize control of the opponent?"

"No, it seems there’s a limitation, it can only be activated three times in a lifetime... The previous possession of Old One-Eye already counts as one, so only two opportunities remain..."

"Furthermore, after each activation, there must be a ’silent period’, during which if it dies, it’s truly dead?"

Fang Xing used his heart’s power to sense, discovering that the silent period for the Ghost Shadow’s ’Ghost Possession’ skill hadn’t yet passed.

However, as long as he used his ’heart’s power’ to assist, it should speed up this process.

"But Ghost Possession is definitely not omnipotent, there might be certain cultivation restrictions, or even quality restrictions..."

Fang Xing realized something, with the current prowess of the Ghost Shadow, it’s merely an Upper Soldier Level.

Perhaps attempting to possess a General or even a Lord-level might have some chance of success.

But attempting to possess a King-level heart beast now would be like dreaming.

"Besides the number of uses and cultivation... there might be other restrictions as well."

"In this world, there has never been an invincible heart beast, only invincible Tamers!"

He released the restriction, allowing that Ghost Shadow to possess Old One-Eye again.

Old One-Eye howled and stood up.

Fang Xing saw this and finally confirmed something: "Fang Leng really died that night, and the one who survived was merely his lifebound heart beast, which is now in my hands... Ah, my blood brother, becoming my wings... It’s quite poetic, rather than that, how about thanking Old Iron for the rewarded heart beast?"

"This Ghost Shadow, clearly has a death attribute, and should be greatly helpful for comprehending the Death Law..."

...

Months later.

In the depths of Azure Dragon Mountain.

"Thunder Cloud!"

Pei Ziyue summoned her lifebound heart beast, and a dark cloud appeared with faint sounds of thunder within.

"Very well, your lifebound heart beast has been cultivated to Upper Soldier Level... It’s time to tame a second heart beast."

An elderly man wearing a straw hat and draped in a raincoat stood beside Pei Ziyue and spoke.

"Teacher..."

Pei Ziyue’s face immediately showed an expression of respect.

Because her teacher was none other than the City Lord of Greensanct City, a powerful ’Farm Tamer’.

At this moment, in the hands of the elderly City Lord, he held a seemingly unremarkable wooden staff.

This wooden staff seemed to have been freshly broken off a tree, with its bark still intact, bearing several fresh branches with green buds.

Thunk!

The old City Lord struck the ground with the wooden staff, and clusters of strange seedlings began to grow.

Their leaves were a dark green, with threads of purple lightning.

Before long, the ears of grain were filled with rich fruits.

"The most suitable food for your Thunder Cloud heart beast is ’Thunder Cloud Rice’... Coupled with the ’Thunder Crystal’ you used during its form formation, it can cultivate to the Upper Soldier Level in just a few months..."

The old City Lord imparted some feeding techniques for the Thunder Cloud and continued, "However, a Tamer’s strength is also measured by the combination of other heart beasts... Now is the time for you to capture your second heart beast. By the standard of your Bronze quality initial heart beast, the second heart beast should be at least Bronze quality, or a Commander-quality cub..."

"Yes, teacher."

Pei Ziyue was somewhat excited.

She thought of her two classmates, although they competed within the school, upon leaving, a clear distinction was already apparent.

’That Fang Xing, reportedly ventured directly into Azure Dragon Mountain, probably still lingers around its outskirts... The second heart beast may well be only Black Iron quality, wasting his potential...’

’This is also unavoidable; not everyone has a Lord-level teacher leading them to hunt heart beasts while still at Soldier Level...’

"As your teacher, I’ve interacted with several Lord-level heart beasts in Azure Dragon Mountain, and may find a cub suited for you... If this cub is raised from a young age, even if it grows into a Lord, it won’t be adverse to you..."

The old City Lord smiled, letting a cloud float from his hand.

Then, the cloud rose into the sky, expanding continuously, soon covering dozens, even hundreds, of miles...

Pei Ziyue watched this scene with admiration.

To change a hundred-mile weather pattern with a simple gesture, this is a true Lord-level Tamer!

"Your Thunder Cloud combines thunder and cloud... So, there’s no need to deliberately tame a ’Thunder Beast’, leaving room for a combat route is quite good too."

The old City Lord smiled and took out a Silver Holy Scripture, flipping to a certain page.

On the image, it depicted a misty rainy season and elves dancing in the rain.

Rustle, rustle!

A gentle rain fell, covering a hundred miles, shrouding it in misty rain.

"Ziyue, remember, we Farm Tamers should either not act, or, once acting, must seize the opportune moment... With clouds and mist as cover, and using the scouting skill of the ’Rain Elf’, no major happenings within a hundred miles can be hidden from your teacher."

The old City Lord said proudly, "Now... let’s go meet that ’Winged Dragon’..."

In the Commander quality, there are also distinctions of high and low.

The Winged Dragon is undoubtedly among the top in the Commander-level heart beasts, more importantly... it possesses the ability to fly!

Pei Ziyue’s eyes lit up: "Am I finally going to have a Winged Dragon baby?"

Such leader-quality cubs, once raised, will undoubtedly be outstanding among lord-level creatures!

In fact, any heart beast with the ’dragon’ character in its name is strong.

And the Winged Dragon isn’t even considered a true dragon-type heart beast.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly!

The old City Lord looked in a certain direction, his expression becoming extremely serious: "Two upper lord heart beasts are fighting... Among them is the seven-hundred-year cultivation violent saber-toothed tiger!"

"Upper lord heart beasts battling?"

Pei Ziyue gasped: "Is this normal?"

Based on what she learned from her textbooks, lord-level heart beasts have fixed territories and won’t engage in battles unless necessary.

"This is obviously not normal; the other lord-level heart beast must have at least nine hundred years of cultivation... it’s an invasion, a hunt!"

The old City Lord’s face showed a trace of seriousness as his Silver Holy Scripture kept flipping pages.

A ’Wind Elf’ and a ’Thunder Beast’ were released.

Wind, rain, thunder, cloud... these are the standard pack of a farmer tamer.

Although among these lord-level heart beasts, only the lifebound heart beast ’Unstable Cloud’ and ’Thunder Beast’ reached the upper lord level, the others are lower lord level.

Even so, when working together, they can entangle or even defeat a thousand-year-cultivation lord heart beast!

Roar! Roar!

Even amidst the rain, Pei Ziyue heard the roaring of a tiger.

Gradually, the tiger’s roar turned from high-pitched to mournful, and finally, it fell silent.

Rustle!

In the rain curtain, a wolf beast over six meters in size with green eyes emerged.

It held the head of the saber-toothed tiger in its mouth, disdainfully glancing this way, making even the Thunder Beast shiver.

Soon, the wolf beast retreated and quickly disappeared into the rain.

"It’s gone..."

The old City Lord sighed in relief but dared not withdraw his heart beast.

Otherwise, if attacked suddenly, he had his Protective Spirit Light, but Pei Ziyue would surely die.

"Huff, huff..."

At this moment, Pei Ziyue heard her own heavy breathing.

She was just an ordinary soldier-level tamer, suddenly facing a near-thousand-year cultivation lord-level fierce beast; it was too much for her.

However, recalling the blurry figure she had just seen, she inexplicably had a feeling of familiarity.

"Wolf... dog... heart image?"

"Was that a Black Fire Dog?"

Pei Ziyue blurted out, being a classmate of someone, she had certainly witnessed Fang Xing’s heart image.

"No, it should be a leader-quality Black Flame Dog, or even a king-quality Black Flame Dog King!"

The old City Lord shook his head: "Ordinary Black Fire Dogs can’t break the hundred-year limit, let alone ascend to lord-level heart beasts..."

"True..."

Pei Ziyue nodded.

...

Somewhere a hundred miles away.

Fang Xing, wearing a hat, stood on a cliff, looking at the rain clouds not far away: "A lord-level farmer tamer?"

There were quite a few farmer tamers near Green Forest City, but there seemed to be only one lord-level.

"Why would that City Lord humble himself to come and take such risks?"

He casually thought about it and then didn’t care.

Soon, Erha brought back the head of the violent saber-toothed tiger, seeking praise from Fang Xing.

"Hmm, well done..."

He nodded, fairly satisfied with Erha’s performance.

After spending several months allowing Erha to familiarize itself with general-level power, Fang Xing took it into Azure Dragon Mountain again, grabbing dogs and chasing chickens along the way, targeting the weak, burning countless insects, butterflies, and small beasts with the Destruction Fire...

Erha quickly ascended to lord level, broke through a hundred years of cultivation, its size surged, and it even grasped the ’Destruction Domain’ skill.

Typically, domain skills are only possibly mastered by king-level heart beasts, so acquiring it at the lord level proved Erha’s exceptional talent.

"Now that the cultivation has advanced, it’s time to build momentum... but keeping the cultivation at a thousand years is fine; it needs to become familiar and tempered, to be ready to break through to king level."

Fang Xing then looked at his other heart beast, the old one-eyed one standing gloomily aside, not showing much fear toward Erha.

’Ghost Shadow is of Emperor-quality after all, previously delayed, but now obtaining high-rank ingredients for cultivation, is progressing rapidly... very soon it can break through to general-level.’

’After that, perhaps it can attempt direct possession of a lord-level heart beast?’

Fang Xing always lacked the will to train new blood; not every heart beast is like Erha, constantly fighting and practicing the path of destruction, with cultivation skyrocketing.

’Ghost Shadow’s possession only has three chances. Using it on the one-eyed wolf previously was a complete waste...’

’This time, at least it should capture an upper lord... a heart beast with king potential to not be wasted.’

’Moreover, with my lifebound heart beast now advanced, I am a lord-level tamer too, bearing the contract of several lord-level heart beasts is no problem at all...’
