Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 537 Martial Arts
After saying goodbye to Xing Li, Ye Mo walked back the way he came towards the entrance of Crystal Island.

Along the way, they encountered many dragon cubs, all with cultivation levels below the fourth rank. Ye Mo took out specially prepared dragon food and distributed it to the cubs who possessed dragon blood.

Of course, he had asked the two Dragon Lords for permission before distributing the dragon food to the dragon descendants on Crystal Island; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to distribute the food to these little guys so casually.

Because it was a special version, the dragon food he distributed was only moderately helpful for the growth of the dragon descendants, equivalent to ordinary resources of the same level. However, its taste was absolutely captivating to every creature with dragon blood, and the purer the dragon blood, the better.

He had verified this with Xingli and Isaac; at one point, the way those two looked at him changed.

Therefore, under such a delicious attack targeting dragons, the dragon cubs who had always lived on Crystal Island had never seen such food before, and their eyes lit up with golden light.

Some of the shy dragon cubs looked at him with teary eyes, hoping for a few more bites of the special dragon food, while some of the bolder dragon cubs kept trying to make their presence known to him.

Some of the dragon cubs even tried to get physical and show off their strength. Although they knew their limits when they attacked, he wouldn't tolerate those naughty guys and had Bai Ling give them a good beating.

They also fed the dragon cubs another type of food—a food that, while having some nourishing effects on the bodies of extraordinary beings, would be extremely abhorrent and even disgusting to dragon-like creatures. The final result speaks for itself; the dazed and lifeless appearance of the dragon cubs after vomiting was enough to illustrate the problem.

Of course, besides these types of dragon cubs, some dragon cubs knew about beast tamers and understood that sometimes human beast tamers would come here to form contracts with dragon-born spirit pets. Therefore, under Ye Mo's offensive of delicious food, many dragon cubs expressed their willingness to form contracts.

Some of the dragon cubs even clung to Ye Mo's legs, begging him to take them away in a spoiled manner.

Seeing this scene, Ye Mo understood that for these young dragon descendants, food might be more attractive than money or profit.

However, it's impossible for him to contract a dragon-type spirit pet now, at least not on Crystal Island, probably...

After Ye Mo ruthlessly used food to shake off the clinging dragon cub, he finally escaped to the island's entrance with Bai Ling. There, the two dragon lords and his master were already waiting for him.

"You've arrived. Have you all said goodbye?" Crimson Flame Dragon Lord nodded slightly upon seeing Ye Mo and said gently.

Blackwater Dragon Lord and his master Chu Dehou, who were standing to the side, nodded slightly and smiled in acknowledgment.

"Yes, let's say goodbye to Xingli." Ye Mo nodded seriously and replied calmly.

Bai Ling, perched on his shoulder, huddled closer, glancing warily at the two Dragon Lords. She was already quite familiar with Chu Dehou, but the two Dragon Lords were different; though they tried to conceal their power, a hint of their legendary aura still emanated from them, forcing her to be on guard.

This power is already at a level that can threaten the Master's life.

As legendary powerhouses, the two Dragon Lords naturally sensed Bai Ling's actions with their powerful souls, but they clearly didn't care at all.

After a light laugh, the Crimson Flame Dragon Lord glanced at Bai Ling and said to Ye Mo, "Your spirit pet is quite extraordinary. Not only is her bloodline powerful, but her cultivation has also reached the peak of the fourth rank. Moreover, judging from her abundant spiritual power, she is probably only one step away from condensing a complete soul."

After looking Bai Ling up and down, the other Blackwater Dragon Lord nodded sincerely and said, "No wonder that Palace Master Li chose you to participate in the interdimensional war. I don't know about the others, but judging from the strength of your spirit pet, it's probably enough. After all, in my opinion, there are probably not many fourth-order transcendents who can be stronger than her."

Faced with the praise from the two Dragon Lords, Ye Mo smiled and humbly replied, "You two seniors are too kind. Although I am quite strong, I am not that exaggerated."

After chatting for a while, the Crimson Flame Dragon Lord opened the entrance to Crystal Island, and the group left through the passage.

After returning to the Dragon Palace, Ye Mo and his master did not stay there for long due to time constraints. Even though the two Dragon Lords invited them to stay for the night, Ye Mo and his master declined.

After everything was settled, Ye Mo left the Dragon Palace under the guidance of his master, Chu Dehou.

Yangtze River Basin

The water broke open, and the enormous Thunder Whale King burst out of the river and rose into the air. Ye Mo and Chu Dehou followed closely behind and flew out together.

"Hahaha, King Dingshan, I heard from Dragon Lord that you also participated in the subsequent interdimensional war. It's a pity I'm not suited for that place, otherwise I would definitely have gone too." King Zhentian Whale laughed heartily at Chu Dehou and said cheerfully, "What a pity, I was thinking of having a good spar with you."

In mid-air, Chu Dehou smiled with his hands behind his back, shook his head, and said with a relaxed expression, "There will be plenty of opportunities to spar. When the East China Sea makes a big move, we will have a good chance to compete."

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Whale King laughed loudly and nodded, saying, "Alright, then let's wait until the East Sea needs me, and then we'll have a proper fight. But I think that day shouldn't be too far off. You'd better be careful in the interdimensional war, otherwise it would be unfair of me to severely injure you."

"Don't worry, it's just a dimensional war. With my abilities, I won't get injured." Chu Dehou smiled easily, glanced at the other party, and then said, "On the contrary, you should be careful not to lose so badly in the sparring match."

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore." After saying this softly, the Thunder Whale King glanced at Ye Mo and said, "This interdimensional war is no small matter. After all, it involves legendary powerhouses, so it's better to be careful. I wish you and your disciple all the best."

Before anyone could reply, the Thunder Whale King let out a low growl and then fell from mid-air into the water, disappearing from the surface in an instant.

"Master?" Ye Mo turned to look at Chu Dehou and said softly. Bai Ling, who was on his shoulder, also turned her gaze to look at Chu Dehou along with her master.

After leaving the Dragon Palace, the subsequent actions would naturally be decided by his master, which is why he asked this question.

“Let’s go. We’ve been to the Dragon Palace, now let’s go to the Central Plains Imperial War Hall.” Chu Dehou’s eyes sharpened, and his tone became much more serious. “The assembly point for this interdimensional war is there, and Hall Master Li is also there, so we can just go there directly.”

Ye Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

…………

The Central Plains Imperial Battle Hall is located within Wudu, a first-level base city.

As a powerful city with top-tier universities, Wudu may not rival Shanghai in terms of prosperity or the capital in terms of historical heritage, but it is still a top-tier base city with considerable overall strength. Combined with its geographical location, these factors, along with other reasons, led to the selection of this location as the headquarters of the Central Plains Imperial War Hall.

The main hall of the Imperial War Hall of one state is located here, and it is the strongest among the five Imperial War Halls of the five states. Therefore, Wudu has always been among the safest cities, much better than other first-level base cities such as Bingdu and Tiandu.

As a result, there are many beast tamers and ordinary people coming and going in this city, bringing a vibrant energy to the entire city.

At this moment, near dusk, on the outskirts of Wudu Base City, at the entrance of the city's outer wall, two figures walked over with a kitten.

Every base city, even those not located on the border of Yanhuang, will have ancient checkpoints built to verify the identities of people coming and going through city walls.

The reason for this is that there are too many teleportation channels from other worlds within Yanhuang. Even though most of them are temporary channels and of low level, the otherworldly beings that come to Yanhuang can still pose a great danger to Yanhuang.

For example, vampires are a typical case. Most vampires are not very strong, and even if they have good regenerative abilities, their weaknesses are too obvious.

However, if such an ordinary group were to infiltrate the base city without warning, the entire base city would be significantly affected.

After all, vampires pose a great danger to ordinary humans and even low-level beast tamers.

However, having learned from past mistakes, Yanhuang now has ways to deal with vampires. In addition to the giant wall verifying their identities, the methods for dealing with vampires within the city are even more powerful and effective.

It can be said that even a legendary vampire grand duke has ways to deal with a level one base city.

Of course, even though the vampires pose almost no threat to Yanhuang now, the city gates built on the giant walls at the edge of each base city are still very necessary for verifying identities.

After all, no one knows what kind of otherworldly creatures might come to the Yanhuang land through the dimensional portal. If some strange creatures appear, that would be troublesome.

Although the Yanhuang Alliance is quite powerful in terms of combat strength, it is simply impossible for the Yanhuang Alliance to protect all of its population and land against an unfamiliar opponent.

Arriving at the foot of the giant wall on the edge of Wudu, Ye Mo and his master verified their identities at the endless stream of entrances before entering the walled city.

Along the way, besides Ye Mo and Bai Ling, many other beast tamers also summoned their spirit pets. However, their spirit pets all had one thing in common: they were all relatively small in size and controlled their power, not releasing their aura and pressure indiscriminately.

"Master, I've heard that many of the spirit pets of the beast tamers in Wudu know martial arts? Is that true?"

Seeing a beast tamer's spirit pet, a Fire-Eyebrowed Monkey, practicing its fist techniques on the road, Ye Mo couldn't help but look at his master and ask a question out of curiosity.

Actually, if the beast tamer's Fire-Eyebrowed Monkey had simply been performing a boxing demonstration, he wouldn't have asked such a question. However, the boxing techniques displayed by the Fire-Eyebrowed Monkey were genuine skills.

That's right, just like Isaac's Dragon Breath and Hanhan's Lightning Control, these are all powerful skills that can enhance strength.

Although the opponent's fist technique was of average power, and upon his investigation, the fist technique displayed on the panel was merely a high-level skill, a new skill, one that was definitely not one that the opponent had awakened, still aroused his curiosity.

"Haha, you saw those students from Wudu Academy at the last academy competition, so what do you say?" Chu Dehou turned his head and smiled, speaking softly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo immediately recalled his experience at the academy competition. Back then, the Wudu Academy team was actually quite strong, but he was simply too powerful at the time, so he hadn't paid much attention to Wudu Academy.

However, looking back now, most of the members of the martial arts academy's team did indeed possess martial arts skills, such as weapon techniques and fist and foot moves, which were quite distinctive.

"Master, was Wudu like this before?" Ye Mo asked after thinking for a moment.

Chu Dehou nodded, then shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he explained earnestly, "I heard that it wasn't like this before the Yanhuang Alliance was established, but after the Yanhuang Alliance was established, Wudu gradually became what it is today."

"Moreover, one of the main reasons why Wudu is called Wudu is because of this."

Hearing this, Ye Mo was greatly surprised. To name a base city after something like that, that was quite something. "Master, why do most of the spirit pets here possess martial arts skills?"

"That's because Wudu has the most martial arts schools in the entire Yanhuang, and those spirit pets all learned from those schools." Chu Dehou glanced at Ye Mo. Did he even need to ask that question?

Ye Mo scratched his head and quickly explained, "No, Master, what I wanted to ask is why there are martial arts schools here? No, it should be why the skills taught in these schools are comparable to real skills? That doesn't seem entirely right either, it should be said..."

At this moment, Chu Dehou waved his hand, shook his head and laughed, "Alright, I know what you mean. You want to ask why martial arts techniques exist, right?"

Ye Mo nodded vigorously. He knew about martial arts, but the martial arts skills here were all extraordinary.

He had even seen martial arts skills that reached the King level from the spirit pets of the team members at the Martial Capital Academy, which was quite remarkable.

King-level skills are abilities that even fifth- or sixth-tier transcendents use as their main force. When fully utilized, even if they cannot create the world, things like splitting mountains and severing rivers are quite easy.

In the hands of some powerful individuals, even a King-level skill can unleash the power of a natural disaster.

Seeing the curiosity in Ye Mo's eyes, Chu Dehou didn't hide anything, and of course there was no need to hide anything. He said to Ye Mo seriously, "The reason why those martial arts skills are no weaker than the awakened skills of spirit pets is very simple."

"Before the Yanhuang Alliance was established, in the era when spiritual energy had just begun to recover, besides the path of beast tamers, martial arts was also a path of extraordinary achievement."

"Martial arts were created by those extraordinary individuals who followed the path of martial arts, which is why they possess such powerful strength."
