Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 198 Setting a Flag Without Saying a Word (Transitional content can be skipped)

Fu Mingyuan did not use any energy or skills, and neither did the dark dragon Shana; both fought solely with their physical strength.

Even so, Fu Mingyuan's physical abilities were not much inferior to those of Shana, who was at level nine.

The spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon, sometimes thrusting forward, sometimes weaving nimbly, extremely flexible and unpredictable.

The same moves, which the eldest brother only used brute force for, became unpredictable in Fu Mingyuan's hands. If one strike missed, he could immediately follow up with another, one move after another, making it impossible for Long to defend against.

The silver spear, carrying terrifying force, struck Shana's hard, cold dragon scales, sparks flying between the weapon and the scales.

Surprisingly, Fu Mingyuan's spear technique, relying solely on physical strength, was able to leave white marks on the dragon scales, which are known as the strongest defensive armor among scaly beasts.

The boss and Lin Manman, who were watching from the sidelines, were so shocked that their expressions became memes. The boss even stretched his already wide eyes, trying his best to see Fu Mingyuan's blurry figure more clearly.

No wonder this guy spent two or three days secretly learning the moves and managed to pick up three. Compared to her, she was even worse than the boss. She was so shocked that she watched for a long time and couldn't remember a single move.

Meng Wenbin, standing to the side, kept glancing at Fu Mingyuan and then at Lin Manman, his smugness barely concealed.

When it comes to his eye for talent in taking on disciples, who in the entire capital can compare to him?

Apart from the eldest disciple, whose mental state was ruined by his wife's disappearance and whose cultivation level stagnated at level nine with no further progress, the other disciples were all striving to advance in their respective areas of expertise.

Although the second disciple is just an ordinary person, he has already made many achievements in the field of spirit beast research that are difficult for his peers to reach.

His passion for learning and research alone is more admirable than that of many professionals who do not love self-cultivation.

Needless to say, his third apprentice was selected as one of the twelve highest leaders among all professionals in China at a young age, and his own strength has broken through to the ninth level. It can be said that among their generation, no one can compare with him.

Although his youngest apprentice has many minor flaws, he is extremely intelligent and willing to put in the effort to cultivate. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, even he dares not make a definitive judgment on his future achievements.

As he pondered, his thoughts drifted away. His manor was too large and felt desolate. In the past, he and his disciples were always busy with their own affairs and rarely lived together here.

But since Lin Manman arrived, the place has become more and more lively. Even Fu Mingyuan, who is quiet and doesn't like crowded places, has moved here.

Well... although the Fu family is partly to blame, living with everyone lately has visibly changed Fu Mingyuan's mood quite a bit.

Just like today, being asked for advice by his junior sister's spirit pet will probably become an extremely terrifying memory in Fu Mingyuan's turbulent life.

Unaware of what her seemingly calm and peaceful teacher was thinking, Lin Manman continued to watch with her spirit pet as Fu Mingyuan unilaterally beat up Shana.

Yes, it was a one-sided beating.

According to Meng Wenbin, Fu Mingyuan had only recently broken through to level nine and was currently only at the second rank of general. In terms of rank, he was only two levels higher than Shana.

However, without either side using energy or skills, the dragon, which has the best physical attributes among the spirit beasts, was actually being suppressed by Fu Mingyuan.

Back in Jinling, Lin Manman had briefly witnessed Fu Mingyuan and Fan Chengye sparring. Fan Chengye was an extremely rare space-type mage, and Fu Mingyuan's skills failed to hit him several times.

Therefore, Lin Manman's understanding of Fu Mingyuan's combat strength was still rather vague. Only today did she gain a basic understanding of someone who had broken through to the ninth level.

Meng Wenbin once explained to her that although professionals below level nine have much stronger physical abilities than ordinary people, it is only an enhancement within the limits allowed by human genes.

Only after a professional breaks through level nine can they truly understand what "transformation" means.

After breaking through to level nine, a professional's physical attributes will undergo an evolution under the cleansing of energy. After that, the body will evolve again with each breakthrough of a new stage.

Take Fu Mingyuan as an example. He is currently a second-class general. When facing opponents of the same or lower rank, he doesn't even need to wear protective gear. His physical defense alone is enough.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that these powerful beings who broke through to the ninth level were humanoid spirit beasts.

Just as Lin Manman was thinking this, Shana cut open Fu Mingyuan's arm.

Lin Manman: ……

Did the slap in the face have to come so quickly?

Does she have some kind of ability to make promises without even saying a word? Why is it that every time she just thinks something in her mind, she gets proven wrong at lightning speed?

After Fu Mingyuan injured his left hand, he stopped using it and continued to wield the spear with great skill using only his right hand.

Hmm...it is indeed comparable to a humanoid spirit beast, but it's understandable that it would get injured when it encountered a dragon, one of the top-tier spirit beasts...

Shana finally managed to get a chance to speak to Fu Mingyuan, but it didn't improve the situation much.

I don't know if it was because he felt insulted by being manipulated by Fu Mingyuan with one hand, or because there were extra audience members present today.

Shana seemed to be enraged, and she raised her head and let out a deafening dragon roar that contained no soul attack.

A pair of huge, bat-like fleshy wings suddenly opened, and with a slight exertion of force, the immense wind pressure forced Fu Mingyuan back, allowing the wings to take flight as well.

Although neither Shana nor Fu Mingyuan used any energy or skills, Shana, being a dragon, was too large to move as nimbly as a human on the ground.

This results in it having very limited ability to dodge attacks, and most of the time it can only rely on its hard scales to withstand attacks.

If it takes flight, the situation will be different, since the air is its home turf.

Without using any skills, Fu Mingyuan would find it difficult to reach such a high position to launch a pursuit using only his physical explosive power.

He could only watch helplessly as it quickly took flight to dodge his attacks.

The eldest brother was engrossed in watching the game when Shana suddenly flew up, causing Fu Mingyuan's combo to fail. He jumped up and yelled in anger.

"Why are you dodging? Your skin isn't even broken, and your master is still bleeding and hasn't stopped to treat you. What's wrong with you taking a couple of hits?"

Lin Manman quickly went up and covered its mouth. That was a level nine dark dragon. If it angered it, even if they were tied together, it wouldn't be enough to roast them with a mouthful of dragon flame.

Sure enough, when Shana heard its boss cursing, it ignored Fu Mingyuan and squinted, sticking out its domineering and ferocious head.

"Haha, it's just concerned about you, it's just not very good at talking. You and your senior brother do need to have your injuries treated." Lin Manman summoned Xiao Qi to save the day.

Xiaoqi is gentle and cute, and few people can resist such an adorable creature.

Moreover, Xiao Qi often came to help with treatment while Shana and Fu Mingyuan were training, so she became quite familiar with Shana.

Upon seeing the situation, Xiao Qi, who had been summoned, instinctively cast two healing spells.

Fu Mingyuan's arm wound was a bit large, so it took a little longer to heal, but Shana's scales had already recovered before her skills were fully used up.

For Xiao Qi's sake, Shana snorted a hot breath at the boss and then turned away and let it go.

Thank you to reader 2018073202810875 for the monthly ticket~ I tried my best but failed. I'll try again tomorrow. I'm so frustrated with the transition chapters _(:з」∠)_ The transition chapters are quite mundane, so you can skip to the next one if you don't like them.
