Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Oh, this good wife! I have different versions, from different angles, very insightful and comprehensive. Would you like to hear them now, Taoist Master?"

Chi Hong seemed to have grasped the key point: this old Taoist priest seemed quite normal, which put his mind at ease!

"Not now..."

"Now we need to get down to business. Tell me next time, next time."

"Ahem... Of course, I'm not referring to these unofficial histories, I'm referring to the real history."

"The history of Longhu Mountain."

The old Taoist cleared his throat and continued walking forward. Chi Hong shook his head and said, "I'm not quite sure about that."

He was indeed unclear about the history of the Beast Tamer world. The major historical events led by Beast Tamers left Chi Hong feeling very confused when he saw the relevant documents.

After all, he already had a complete set of historical information in his mind.

Moreover, the old Taoist priest asked about Longhu Mountain, so he knew even less about it.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't know, just follow me."

The old Taoist quickened his pace, and Chi Hong suddenly realized that he couldn't keep up with him. The old Taoist was just walking normally, but Chi Hong had to jog to keep up.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the old Taoist led Chi Hong into a forest path that led to another mountain peak. The path was overgrown with weeds and looked very messy.

Finally, a building that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time came into Chi Hong's view.

"The...Hall of... Subduing Demons..."

Chi Hong frowned. No matter how little he understood the history and culture of Longhu Mountain, the moment he saw the Demon Subduing Hall, a scene appeared in his mind.

At the beginning of Water Margin, Grand Marshal Hong released the thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends who were being suppressed in the Demon-Subduing Hall on Longhu Mountain.

There are a total of one hundred and eight demon lords.

"No way..."

"The Beast Tamer World... 108 terrifying... pet beasts??"

Chi Hong had a bold guess, and it fit perfectly with the worldview of the Beast Tamer world!

"This is the Hall of Subduing Demons. In ancient times, it was opened and released 108 primordial ferocious beasts, which wreaked havoc on the world. It was then sealed away again."

The old Taoist priest walked to the entrance of the Demon Subduing Hall, patted his bottom, and sat down on the steps.

"Judging from the situation here..."

"They got away again?"

Chi Hong walked further in. The place was large and dimly lit, but the roof was in disrepair, so light shone through everywhere and did not obstruct Chi Hong's view.

Inside the hall, a huge stone tortoise carried a stone tablet. Chi Hong walked forward, stood in front of the stone tablet, and muttered to himself, "Just as I thought."

The stone tablet is very old and can be considered an antique. It has only four characters on it: "Opened by flood".

"Hilarious! Grand Commandant Hong still leaves his mark on this world!" Chi Hong muttered to himself. He turned around and was startled to find the old Taoist priest standing behind him at some point.

"They all did run away, and you saw what's written on the stone tablet, right? Chi... Hong..."

The old Taoist stared straight at him, this time not calling him by his code name "Crimson," but directly calling him by his real name.

Chi Hong didn't pay much attention at first, but then he paused, pointed to the four characters "遇洪而开" (meaning "opening when encountering Hong"), then pointed to his own face, and said with a wry smile, "Daoist Master, you can't possibly think that 'Hong' refers to me, can you?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, I simply can't understand how you could recite the Tao Te Ching!"

"You must have some connection to this place..."

"What a coincidence! You are 18 years old this year. The Demon Subduing Hall was destroyed 18 years ago, and all the original ferocious beasts fled. To this day, not a single one has shown any trace of them."

The old Taoist's eyes began to turn serious, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Chi Hong immediately understood that this old Taoist priest had no intention of taking him to see any patriarch, and that he had intended to bring him here from the very beginning.

"I'm too lazy to explain to you. Anyway, what do you want now?"

"You must have heard at least a bit about me, Chi Hong, from Luo Dongjun, right? I'm not the kind of person who will just surrender."

Chi Hong pulled his right hand out of his pocket, crossed his arms, and looked at the old Taoist priest with an unfriendly expression.

Even if a fight really breaks out, even if this old Taoist is more than a Super A-level, Chi Hong only has one sentence to say.

With the power of an S-rank Flame Bird and a legendary Galarian Firebird, this victory was inevitable.

"After all, that brat Wang interfered." The old Taoist began to pace back and forth, saying as he walked, "That brat Wang is extremely protective of his own, so I can't do anything to you. I'll just have to make you stay on Longhu Mountain from now on and not go anywhere else."

"What do you think, little one?"

The old Taoist priest turned around, looked at Chi Hong, and then froze.

"Chief, did you hear that? He not only tried to kidnap me, but he also called you 'Wang boy'," Chi Hong said into the phone.

The reply came instantly!

It's a voice message.

"Since you disregard me, Wang, you should know that I, Wang, am invincible under heaven. Unless an enemy descends from the heavens, I, Wang, will naturally stand atop the highest peak and survey all the lesser mountains below!"

"Very well, I, Wang, will personally visit Longhu Mountain another day and let him know who his superior is!"

This is bursting with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) vibes!!

broken!

Oh no!!

The old Taoist's face instantly turned ugly. These young people nowadays have no martial ethics at all. They're actually recording the whole thing?

"Do you know how troublesome the King is? Even my senior brother, Zhang Tianshi, has to coax him when he comes!!"

"You brat, you son of a bitch..."

The moment the words "You son of a bitch" were uttered, the old Taoist immediately formed a hand seal and kept muttering softly, "This disciple's mistake was unintentional, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me..."

"You fucking stinking Taoist priest!"

"Show me your pet! I'm going to have a go at you today!"

"Old Deng from the old era wants to be compared to the strong of the new era?"

Chi Hong didn't care about any ancestral master's wrath; he wasn't a Taoist priest, so he just started hurling insults!

With a clenched fist, a violent tremor occurred. Tyranitar roared and crashed into the wall, smashing the roof. His massive body, exuding an aura of oppression, appeared before the old Taoist!

"They are indeed quite formidable, but after the battle, you'll also have to pay for the repairs to the Demon-Subduing Hall!"

The old Taoist glanced at Tyranitar, a very strong pet beast. Considering Chi Hong's age, it was already quite remarkable.

He was about to summon his pet beast when suddenly, for some reason, a sandstorm arose on the mountaintop, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

"Tyranitar, Mega Evolve!"

Chi Hong raised his hand and touched the keystone. Tyranitar's size increased again, and it roared as it smashed the Demon Temple to pieces.

"Surpassed Grade A?"

"He's actually a beast tamer of the same level as that kid Dongjun?"

The old Taoist was taken aback. Luo Dongjun hadn't mentioned this to him before!

"Luo Dongjun?"

"I'm sorry, I wasn't in the forbidden area before, Luo Dongjun was already dead."

Chi Hong followed behind Bangiras, determined to teach this old man a lesson!
