Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 384 The White Tiger's Fang
Just as Ye Bai was about to summon the Sky-Devouring Pelican, a rock standing on the ground suddenly rose into the air.

The angular stone transformed into a human shape in mid-air.

"Hey, hello."

"A pet master who has broken into Tianquan City."

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a white training uniform, appeared in front of Ye Bai.

He looked very energetic.

Ye Bai recognized the man as Huang Jianzhong, who was possessed by the aura of the demon god, through the Eye of Truth.

His body was now shrouded in demonic energy, like a raging torrent.

"Nice to meet you."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes waved at Ye Bai, revealing eight neat teeth.

His eyes were filled with a nonchalant expression, as if he didn't take Ye Bai seriously at all.

After all, according to the results of his demonic energy detection, the guy in front of him seemed to have just broken through to the seventh-level pet master.

Once a pet master reaches the seventh rank, advancing to the next level becomes incredibly difficult.

As a peak seventh-tier pet master, I have a significant advantage.

I originally thought the Demon God's mission would be very difficult, after all, the angel remains that Andos used to make the array's core were provided by him.

He naturally understood that the angel's regret was very difficult to destroy.

Ye Bai destroyed four in a row, which already made the man somewhat terrified.

However, after seeing Ye Bai, this person calmed down.

"I am Huang Jianzhong, the president of the Tianquan City Pet Animal Guild."

"He is also a seventh-tier pet master."

"Nickname: The Ruler of the Earth, Ah Jian of the Earth."

"You must be one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, but why have I never seen you before?"

Huang Jianzhong said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, his expression was filled with extreme malice.

"I am also a seventh-level pet master, so why can't I gain the recognition of the Twenty-Eight Constellation Soul Weapons?"

"Why!!!"

"I have sacrificed so much for Yan Kingdom. For the past thirty years, I have steadfastly guarded Tianquan City and blocked countless beast tides."

"Why can't I gain the recognition of the Horcruxes!"

Huang Jianzhong's face gradually became distorted.

He looked at this land that he had protected for almost his entire life.

Huang Jianzhong asked himself honestly, and he realized that he had done very well. Even pet masters weaker than him had become the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

He was merely the president of a pet guild.

What did he do wrong!
When he was rejected time and time again by the soul artifacts of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Huang Jianzhong understood a principle.

It's not that he's not good enough, but that he's too old and has been rejected by the Horcruxes.

Therefore, he desperately longed to return to his youth and to go to the Hall of Fortune once again to have his soul weapon accepted.

He knew that Kui Mulang, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, was currently vacant.

This is his last hope.

As a result, the country's fortunes improved recently, and Huang Jianzhong learned through internal channels that Kui Mulang had returned.

Everyone cheered, but his heart felt hollow.

All the things he worked hard for his whole life ultimately became someone else's.

Because his mind was compromised, Huang Jianzhong was successfully seduced by Andos and became Andos's apostle.

"Is this why you've turned to the dark side?"

"The obsession with not being able to become one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations grew, which led to Andos's seduction and his becoming a puppet of the demon god."

"However, you should not offer the entire population of Tianquan City as sacrifices to the demon god."

Ye Bai frowned as he spoke.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. As the pillar of Tianquan City, he personally sacrificed the entire city.

This behavior is unforgivable.

"Hmph, you're criticizing me from your moral high ground."

"Who do you think you are? I'm a veteran seventh-tier pet master, known as Ah Jian of the Earth."

"I am responsible for protecting everyone in Tianquan City."

“I have protected them from getting married and having children, and they have enjoyed so much peace. All I need is their souls.”

"This is my reward for protecting Tianquan City."

A look of madness flashed in Huang Jianzhong's eyes, and he became increasingly frantic.

Black ripples then spread out from Huang Jianzhong's feet.

The entire ground turned into a swamp.

Ye Bai only felt a force of gravity coming towards him.

Having anticipated this, he used his tempering skill to resist the corrosive force of gravity.
However, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath Ye Bai's feet, demonstrating the immense power of gravity.

"Not bad, worthy of being the new Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"It survived my first wave of attacks."

“I’ve seen all the other twenty-eight constellations. Let me guess who you are.”

Huang Jianzhong clearly knew the answer, but he liked to say it out loud in public. He always felt a sense of depression lingering in his heart.

This made Huang Jianzhong feel compelled to speak out.

"Of the twenty-eight constellations that are currently vacant, only Kui Mulang has not yet returned to his position."

"The recent rise in the national fortune of Yan Kingdom should be the result of Kui Mulang's return to power."

"So now it's easy to guess that you are the new Kui Mulang, the Kui Mulang known as the White Tiger's Fang."

"The Sun and Moon Wolf Blade is in your hands."

"The Sun, Moon, and Sirius are things that even demons covet."

"If the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade hadn't disappeared sixteen years ago, I might have already inherited it."

"By the way, the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade is also known as the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

Huang Jianzhong said with a slight sigh.

He had long considered the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade to be his, but it was snatched away by this little brat in front of him. This was an utter disgrace.

"No, you can't inherit it."

"No matter how many times time is reversed, you will never gain the approval of the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade."

Ye Bai said decisively.

"If there is even a trace of darkness in one's heart, one cannot gain the recognition of the Horcrux."

"You are not a selfless person, you are just a sophisticated egoist."

"You've been deceived by your own pretense. You've always thought of yourself as a selfless person, but in reality, you're all self-centered."

Ye Bai stated the truth.

Huang Jianzhong, however, seemed not to believe it at all.

"No, no, I'm not that kind of person."

"Otherwise, why would I block the beast tides time and time again, and rush to the front line time and time again?"

"That's because I have a firm belief in protecting what I'm doing."

Huang Jianzhong refuted this in public.

"President Huang, as the president of the Pet Beast Guild of Tianquan City, you should be fighting against evil and protecting the people, but instead you have become a lackey of the demon god."

"From the moment your dark side was born, you already missed your chance with the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

“I will personally kill you in public to comfort the souls of all the victims in Tianquan City.”

"Your pet trainers from the Pet Beast Guild were also brutally murdered by you. You are simply a heartless and insane beast."

Ye Bai said coldly. He felt an inexplicable disgust for Huang Jianzhong, who had become a lackey of the Demon God.

Upon hearing Ye Bai's words, Huang Jianzhong burst into laughter.

"Insane, you're right, I should have gone mad a long time ago."

"Haha, if it were any other one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, I might still be wary."

"But I have been studying the Northern Star Wolf Blade for sixteen years, so someone like you who only advanced to the seventh-tier pet master by relying on the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade is simply no match for me."

"I am the magician of the earth, Ah Jian of the earth."

Suddenly, Huang Jianzhong found himself holding a scepter made of rock.

A large, earthy-yellow gemstone floats on the scepter.

The gemstone was surrounded by shimmering starlight.

Every facet of this gemstone appears to be perfect.

【Earth Scepter (Fake): A weapon forged from fragments of the scepter of the Earth Goddess Contia, incorporating rare raw materials. Holding the scepter and standing firmly on the ground grants invincibility. The Earth Scepter can also summon two rock giants to fight alongside it.】

"The Scepter of the Earth".

"It seems that Huang Jianzhong's pets may all be elemental beings."

The most distinctive feature of elemental life forms is that they completely obey the commands of their pet trainers.

"I've found your information. Your name is Ye Bai, right? You're a prospective college student."

"Hmph, obediently let me kill you, and then I'll take the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade from you."

"As long as I offer the Soul Weapon to the Demon God, the Demon God will help me erase the Soul of the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade, allowing me to truly become the host of the Kui Wood Wolf."

Huang Jianzhong, however, was extremely boastful, planning to use the demon god as a roundabout way to save the country.

"That's incredibly arrogant."

Ye Bai mocked.

Huang Jianzhong seemed to think he had him cornered, and that the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade was already his.

Naive, so incredibly naive.

"I know how terrifying the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade is, and it even has the potential to defeat a peak seventh-tier pet master."

"But I'm afraid you haven't even gone to the Hall of Fortune to receive your inheritance."

"You have no idea how to control the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade."

At this moment, Huang Jianzhong accessed the nearby surveillance footage, and he could see that Ye Bai had not released the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade from beginning to end.

This proves that Ye Bai did not receive the inheritance.

This was when Ye Bai was at his weakest. If he could seize the Sun and Moon Wolf Blade, his lifelong wish would be fulfilled.

Thinking of this, even the hand holding the Scepter of Earth couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He was so excited, he was really excited.

"You know my personality is as steady as the earth."

"I will only take action after I have made full preparations."

“You haven’t received the inheritance of the Hall of Fortune, so you don’t even know how to use the Northern Star Wolf Blade.”

"You are just an ordinary seventh-tier pet master now, and you are no match for me at all."

"You'd better just die by my hand."

Huang Jianzhong said firmly.

"The reason I found you first was because I felt you were the easiest target to exploit."

"Rock giant, come forth!"

The ground instantly cracked open, revealing two enormous rocks.

Huang Jianzhong's abilities are somewhat similar to those of his grandmaster Zhang Dashan.

He can summon elemental life forms for his own use.

"Ye Bai, since you're about to die, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"Do you know how I held off wave after wave of beast hordes?"

"This is the power that comes from my Earth Scepter."

"As long as I stand on the ground, I can continuously summon elemental life to attack my opponents."

"So from beginning to end, the only pet I've ever contracted is the earth elemental."

Huang Jianzhong grinned.

"In order to give the earth element more mobility, I also invented the earth element, and the element created this ability."

Huang Jianzhong's live feed was transmitted to the conference room of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation.

Seeing Huang Jianzhong's frenzied gaze, almost all of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation fell silent.

Their original idea was to save Huang Jianzhong's soul as much as possible.

However, after seeing his twisted soul, the Twelve Pillars of the Nation gave up on the idea of ​​saving him.

He has already made too many contracts with the demon god.

"Can Ye Bai really defeat Huang Jianzhong? He's a veteran powerhouse."

"His strength is also among the top of the seventh-tier experts."

The Twelve Pillars of the Nation began to generate much discussion.

"Huang Jianzhong is no longer as cautious as before."

"If Ye Bai sends out the Northern Star Wolf Blade, he might be able to take Huang Jianzhong by surprise."

"Huang Jianzhong's biggest mistake was siding with the demon god, thus becoming the demon god's lackey."

"This is a major blow to our Yan Kingdom."

Wei Yang, also known as Master Jiang, gave his opinion.

“I agree with Wei Yang’s suggestion. Huang Jianzhong’s attempt to sacrifice the entire Tianquan City to the Demon God has violated the laws of Yan Kingdom. Even if Ye Bai kills Huang Jianzhong, we will not have any objections.”

"But I'm worried about one thing: whether Huang Jianzhong's strength has been enhanced by the Demon God."

Youji expressed his inner worries, as he was most afraid that something would happen to Ye Bai.

After all, the Sun-Dwelling Golden Rooster still needs Ye Bai's help to evolve.

"It's alright. Ye Bai has plenty of life-saving items on him, and he also has people protecting him."

Wei Yang had sent paper puppets to protect Ye Bai early on.

He believed that Ye Bai did not need anyone's protection.

"By the way, Marshal Qilin said last time that the Twenty-Eight Constellations have returned, and we need to summon them back to the Hall of Fortune."

"Let them use the nation's destiny to repair the Horcruxes in their hands."

"Since the Sun Blade was lost sixteen years ago, the Soul Weapon has not been repaired with the national fortune, which will greatly limit the combat power of the Twenty-Eight Constellations."

The rat suddenly made a proposal.

"really."

"This should indeed have been done earlier, especially since Ye Bai has not yet undergone the baptism of the Hall of Fortune and has not yet obtained the method to control the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled immediately.

"Let's not assign any tasks to the Twenty-Eight Constellations for now. The most important thing right now is to complete the blessing of destiny."

Just then, the synchronized transmission screen suddenly went dark.

In Tianquan City, the Star Sage was sitting on a high-rise building, watching the battle between Ye Bai and Huang Jianzhong.

She was holding a bag of potato chips, and there was a small black cat beside her.

Its body is completely free of any stray hairs and looks extremely smooth.

“Star Sage, your junior sister’s disciple is engaged in battle. Why don’t you lend a hand?”

"I can sense that his memory palace is about to break through."

"And it seems to have another talent as well."

"When he becomes like you, with the potential to become a god, will you consider him a rival?"
