Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 117

117 Are You Ready?

“Take a good look, it’s me.”

At this point, the mud that was covering Lear’s face fell off.

“…Lear?” Zhang Youcheng’s eyes were wide open as he stared at Lear in disbelief. “What are you doing here? And what’s this on your body?”

“I’ll explain these things to you later.” Lear looked at Zhang Youcheng with a determined gaze. “Anyway, I have a big plan here. A big plan that can directly eliminate Shen Fei here.”

!!
The moment he heard that he could destroy Shen Fei, Zhang Youcheng instantly perked up.

“Then why don’t you tell me what you plan to do?”

“It’s simple.” Lear confidently extended a finger. “We just need to increase our strength to surpass him in a short time. In this aspect, I’m almost done.”

Lear stood with his hands behind his back, his entire body filled with pride.

“With my strength, it won’t be a problem to deal with his Flame Owl! But, you…” Lear deliberately dragged out the last syllable and quietly glanced at Zhang Youcheng.

“What’s with that look in your eyes?” Zhang Youcheng crossed his arms unhappily.

“I didn’t mean anything else by it. However, you are truly too weak,” Lear said sarcastically, and pointed at the Ice Tiger that had just died. “Your spirit beast was only touched by me, and it died. I don’t think your other spirit beasts are much better.”

At this point, Lear held his forehead and closed his eyes. “However, I do have a way to quickly provide you with a strong and powerful spirit beast. Let’s see if you have the ability to tame it.”

“Oh?” Hearing this, Zhang Youcheng immediately became interested. “Then tell me, where did you get such a powerful spirit beast?”

“Naturally, I acquired it because I can.” Lear squinted his eyes as he smiled, his entire body exuding a scheming aura. “Let’s see if you have the guts to come along.”

“Stop wasting time, hurry up and bring me there.”

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Youcheng followed Lear’s footsteps and gradually tread into the deepest part of the secret realm.

…

‘Strange, where did he go?’

Shen Fei looked at the surrounding corroded trees and frowned in confusion.

Logically speaking, he should have landed here after he was sent flying. However, other than a layer of foul-smelling colorless mucus on the ground, Shen Fei did not find anything else.

That transparent, viscous liquid continued to extend from the direction where he was hit to the jungle in the distance, once again arriving at the place where Shen Fei and Zhang Youcheng met.

Looking at the Ice Tiger on the ground that had been melted away, Shen Fei could not help but frown.

‘What happened here? Where did Zhang Youcheng go?’

Shen Fei followed the direction of the colorless liquid and slowly raised his head. The sticky liquid was like a huge mark, constantly pointing to the darker depths of the secret realm.

…

“We’re here,” Lear said to Zhang Youcheng.

“This is…?” Zhang Youcheng’s eyes narrowed as he looked at his surroundings. He could not help but feel a little panicked.

They had arrived at a deep black sea. The black sea was like a sand whirlpool in the desert, slowly flowing.

Swish… swish…

“Is the strongest exotic beast you spoke of really here?”

“Of course!” Lear opened his arms and welcomed the deep darkness. “This is the Misty Marsh, the core area of this entire wormhole’s secret realm! This is where I underwent my transformation!”

‘What the f*ck?’ Zhang Youcheng hesitantly looked at Lear, who was infatuated with himself.

“If you have the guts, just jump in,” Lear said to Zhang Youcheng nonchalantly. “As long as you dare to jump in, this mysterious Misty Marsh will make your body stronger according to your own talent, and even give you the power to directly fight against spirit beasts.”

At this point, Lear gave Zhang Youcheng a hard push from behind. “If you want to surpass Shen Fei’s strength, you must sacrifice something. Now, jump down!”

Zhang Youcheng decisively took two steps back and quickly shook off all the black water on his body. “I don’t want to turn into a thing like you!”

Upon hearing this, Lear’s face instantly darkened. “Since you’re unwilling, I’ll point you to another path.”

Lear released his hand and pointed to the center of the sea.

“There is an extremely powerful exotic beast core in the center of the sea. As long as it is swallowed, no matter how useless the spirit beast is, it can become the most powerful exotic beast in the entire secret realm.

“But after swallowing it, you’ll have to rely on yourself to re-tame the spirit beast. How about that?” Lear narrowed his eyes at Zhang Youcheng beside him. “Do you wish to try?”

Zhang Youcheng clenched his fist and hesitated for a moment. “Let me think about it.”

At this moment, he was left with one spirit beast. It was not an ordinary spirit beast like the Ice Tiger. It was an extremely rare ice-type spirit beast.

To be honest, the strength of exotic beasts was indeed much stronger than the spirit beasts sold in beast breeding institutions. However, exotic beasts were almost impossible to tame.

Zhang Youcheng looked at the boundless ocean in front of him and felt a strange sense of unease.

“Take your time, there’s no rush.” Lear grinned at Zhang Youcheng. “I know what you’re worried about.”

Lear slowly walked around Zhang Youcheng. “You’re thinking that your spirit beast is already very powerful, so why do you need to do something unnecessary?”

‘He hit the nail on the head.’ Zhang Youcheng clenched his fingers and his eyes became evasive.

“Sigh, it’s very natural for you to have such an innocent thought. I had thought the same before, but what happened later?”

At this point, Lear showed Zhang Youcheng the scars on his body. The scars left by the infernal brambles were still on his body. Even though he did not look like he was injured at all in front of Shen Fei, he had to admit that even Shen Fei’s Flame Owl’s strength was not inferior to his Three-clawed Golden Dragon.

“Believe me, Zhang Youcheng, if you only rely on that ice-attribute spirit beast of yours, you will only repeat the mistakes of your previous spirit beasts.”

Speaking up to this point again, Lear walked closer to Zhang Youcheng’s ear.

“Your spirit beasts have been defeated and killed by Shen Fei again and again. Are you really that willing to continue letting Shen Fei act so willfully?”

Zhang Youcheng clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness. He slowly sighed.

“Then I’ll do as you say. I hope your method will work.”

At this point, Zhang Youcheng focused his mind and raised his arm.

In an instant, a huge portal opened in the air. A pure white eye slowly looked through the portal.
