Under One Person: Rebuilding the Glory of the Beast Master

Chapter 37 Brawl

The upturned eaves of Qingxu Hall gleamed with a golden halo in the morning light, while the martial arts training ground on the mountainside was a vast expanse of gray, and the Sutra Repository sat on a cliff face. The disciples' quarters consisted of small courtyards with gray tiles and white walls, scattered in a pleasing, staggered pattern along the mountain stream.

The people of Sanyi Gate were scattered throughout the gate area, like tiny ants.

Someone waved to him, probably because they saw him flying in the air.

"Is that Junior Brother? He can actually do that."

"I also want to try what it feels like to fly in the sky."

"Hey, junior brother, can you see me?" a senior brother shouted loudly.

Although Zeng Su didn't know what his senior brothers were talking about, he still waved to them.

He's incredibly excited right now.

"Fly higher!" he shouted excitedly.

Upon receiving the command, the bald eagle flapped its wings and continued to climb.

In his eyes, the buildings of the Trinity Gate grew smaller and smaller, from the size of a fist to the size of a finger joint, and finally became chess pieces on a chessboard.

The wind howled, but it wasn't cold. Steel-attribute Qi covered his body, keeping out the cold wind from the high altitude. The only problem was that his Qi was being used up a bit quickly, but that didn't matter; he had more than enough Qi.

"Fei Peng." He looked up at the bald eagle flapping its wings with all its might and suddenly shouted.

The bald eagle turned its head and heard its master calling it.

"From now on, your name will be Feipeng," he said. "Like a tumbleweed carried by the wind, you soar to the heavens. This name suits you."

Feipeng tilted its head. It didn't understand the meaning of the name, but it could hear the approval in its master's tone.

"Jie—" it let out a short cry, responding to the name.

Feipeng flapped its wings again and climbed to its final height.

Looking down from here, the mountains of Taimu Mountain resemble a painting splashed with ink, with layers of green in varying shades, and the mountain streams meandering like silver threads.

How many people can witness such a scene? Although it can't be described as flying through the clouds, it's still like traveling across the sky.

If it weren't for the scarcity of words in his mind, he would want to recite a few poems aloud right now.

"Fei Peng, climb over that mountain and land," he said.

"Chirp!" Fei Peng let out a long cry, then flapped its wings and flew swiftly in the direction Zeng Su pointed out. In just a few minutes, it crossed a mountain peak.

Then Feipeng folded his wings and began to tilt his body.

Zeng Su felt his body suddenly lift upwards, the wind whistling past his ears, and the ground rapidly enlarging.

"Ahhhhh!!" He couldn't help but shout out.

The feeling of falling was incredibly thrilling, far more exciting than any crazy roller coaster, pendulum ride, or drop tower.

The altitude of over a thousand meters was quickly reached, and Feipeng's wings were slightly spread, constantly adjusting the angle. His two claws were firmly gripping his shoulders, and when he was still two or three zhang away from the ground, he suddenly spread his wings.

"call"

The enormous wings caught the wind, abruptly slowing the descent. The resulting gale scattered pebbles across the ground, and Feipeng landed steadily on the ground.

Zeng Su stepped onto the ground, bent his knees slightly, and then stood up straight. His heart was still pounding, not from fear, but from the sheer excitement.

"Awesome, so awesome!"

He said with an excited laugh.

"Fei Peng." He turned around.

Feipeng's chest heaved violently, and the feathers at the edges of its wings stood on end. These were the marks left by its recent overloaded flight.

However, after flying for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Fei Peng had already exceeded his limit in terms of energy expenditure.

Although it has acquired Qi, it is not yet at the level where it can easily fly with an object weighing seventy or eighty pounds.

If Zeng Su had been any heavier, Fei Peng probably wouldn't have been able to fly.

"You've worked hard." Zeng Su reached out and gently scratched Fei Peng's chin, running his fingers through the fine hairs.

Fei Peng squinted comfortably, letting out a low purr, much like a big cat.

The landing site is outside the Qi Formation of the pool. It is impossible to fly directly into the Qi Formation. Every step inside the Qi Formation has a specific direction and steps. If you take the wrong step, it will be very dangerous.

Of course, the danger of the pool is not high. If you go the wrong way, you will just get further and further away from the pool, but there is no other threat.

A certain type of energy field, like the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley," can really be deadly. If you don't enter at a specific time and under specific circumstances, you will die a violent death, much like being summoned by the King of Hell.

Even if he knew now that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley was located in the heart of the Qinling Mountains, he wouldn't dare to go looking for it. He could only wait and plan for it slowly in the future.

He then released the white and black plaque from the wooden sign.

"Hmph!!"

After Bai Jiahei came out, it barked a few times; it really didn't like staying in the wooden plaque.

"It's just for a little while, it's not like it's always like this. Don't be upset," Zeng Su said, tapping Bai Jiahei's head.

"Let's go! Lead the way."

Entering the energy field is smoother with Bai Jiahe leading the way. Of course, he already has some understanding of the energy field of the pool, and if he were to calculate and proceed slowly, he could also enter, but that would be too troublesome and completely unnecessary.

Before long, under Bai Jiahei's guidance, they successfully entered the water pool's energy field.

Xuanhei had been lying on the rocks by the pool for a long time, waiting. The new chess game had been drawn up, and it was determined to win today.

"Wow, that was fast!"

Upon seeing the pool, Zeng Su exclaimed that it used to take at least an hour to reach this pool, but now it was much easier. Fei Peng could easily cross the mountains with a few flaps of his wings, turning the winding journey into a straight line.

"Huh! There's another big bird?"

Xuanhei also discovered Feipeng's presence.

"This is Fei Peng, he will be our companion from now on," Zeng Su explained.

"Tsk tsk tsk!! This is the first time I've ever seen such a big bird. What kind of bird is it?" All Black ran up to Fei Peng with its short legs and circled around Fei Peng as it spoke.

Fei Peng tilted his head and looked at Xuan Hei.

He had seen many of these creatures in the sea, and had even caught and eaten them before; they tasted quite good. However, the one in front of him looked a little different.

"Clatter!"

Suddenly, Fei Peng pecked at Xuan Hei's round head without warning.

However, Xuanhei reacted much faster. With a turn of the runes on the shell, the entire tortoise shell gleamed with a rock-like luster.

A tiny spark ignited, and Fei Peng felt his head spin.

"How can it be so hard again?"

Last night, when it was pecking at the white and black parts, it fell for the trick, and today when it was pecking at the black parts, it fell for it again.

"You wretched bird, what do you think you're doing to the Ancestor? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?" Xuanhei said excitedly, startling the bird!

The runes on his back turned again, and a stream of water shot out, directly knocking Fei Peng away, causing him to fall into the pool and become a drowned rat.

Zeng Su stood there without saying a word; he knew Xuan Hei wouldn't go all out.

"Feipeng, this is Xuanhei, also our companion. He can't be eaten," he said with a smile.

These words enraged Xuanhei.

"Oh dear! You silly bird, you actually want to eat the ancestor!" Xuan Hei'en shouted loudly, and finally, crimson flames ignited on his body.

"You idiot, I'm going to roast you to a crisp!"

Just then, Fei Peng, flapping his wings, struggled to climb ashore from the pool, his whole body soaking wet. Then he saw a turtle with its whole body on fire rushing towards him, which frightened Fei Peng so much that he plunged back into the water.

Xuanhei scrambled to the edge of the pool with his short legs, his beady green eyes gleaming with smugness: "That's it? That's it? I thought you were something special, but you're just a show-off, all looks and no substance!"

"Hmph hmph hmph—"

'

Baijiahei lay to the side, resting its chin on its front hooves, letting out a series of gloating hums.

Its eyes swept back and forth between Xuanhei and Feipeng, its expression clearly saying, "Let's fight! Let's all fight! I'm just watching the show."

Zeng Su, the master, was similar.

The peacock in the water was thoroughly enraged by the attitude of the turtle and the pig. Looking at its owner and realizing there was no intention to stop them, it understood that its owner was allowing it to intervene.

At this moment, it also recalled the scene of being tormented by working day and night last night, and its anger flared up even more.

Then Feipeng spread his wings and flapped them suddenly. His wet feathers dried instantly under the infusion of Qi, and he soared straight up from the pool into the sky.

"Chirp!"

With a long cry, fury ignited in its pale yellow eyes; the king of the sky was about to unleash its power.

"Jehovah—!"

Feipeng let out a sharp, long cry, flapped its wings violently, and suddenly turned back in mid-air, its two sharp claws reaching for the dark tortoise shell.

"Hey, good day."

Xuanhei also became interested, as it was a good opportunity to vent his frustration from losing to White and Black for the past few days.

Runes flowed across the tortoise shell, but no magic was used; it intended to withstand the attack head-on.

"When one," the eagle's claws and tortoise shells intertwined, and sparks flew once again.

But Xuanhei didn't budge, not even bothering to retract its head back into its shell, and sneered, "Is that all? Your claws can't even scratch my shell, what are you even trying to do? Little chicken, come down here and let me pat your head."

Feipeng landed, looked down at his claws, then at the dark, glowing tortoise shell. The flames in his eyes remained unchanged. He flapped his wings and continued to fly faster.

Then Fei Peng began to circle in the air, his speed so fast it was as if he had created a shadow clone.

"Crack!!"

Suddenly, the sound of electricity crackling appeared above the pool.

Zeng Yao looked up and saw streaks of azure lightning appearing around Fei Peng's body. "So that's why there's an evolutionary path called Thunder Eagle!" he murmured.

It's not hard to guess that Fei Peng probably has a trace of the Thunder Eagle's bloodline or has mastered some basic thunder magic.

Thunder magic! You must know that this is an extremely high-end thing in the world of supernatural beings. The most widely circulated legend is the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion, which has an astonishing reputation.

As it turned out, even the bird Fei Peng had acquired some lightning magic, though only a superficial understanding; it was still not to be underestimated.

In the next instant, Fei Peng swooped down with azure lightning.

Although Xuanhei didn't have much combat experience, its senses were very sharp, and it knew that this move would be difficult to block.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious. Xuanhei retracted its head and limbs into its shell, and the runes on its shell rotated, with the power of the five elements circulating.

"boom!!"

The lightning and the power of the five elements collided, producing a piercing shriek, and the pool was stirred up into surging waves.

Zeng Su had no choice but to stand behind Bai Jiahei to avoid them.

"Bang!"

One figure was the first to fly out, crashing straight into the bushes beside him.

When the mist and dust dissipated, the blackness had also disappeared.

However, Zeng Su was not in a hurry, because although both sides seemed to be fighting to the death, they were actually holding back.

Fei Peng didn't target Xuan Hei directly, but instead aimed at the rocks next to him. Xuan Hei, on the other hand, only defended and didn't use any offensive abilities; otherwise, Fei Peng wouldn't have had a chance to get close and attack.

In the end, it was Fei Peng who was blown away by the power of Xuan Hei.

As for where Xuanhei is, it is underground, of course. Its shell is very hard, but the rocks on the ground cannot withstand the force of the impact.

"You actually buried our ancestor in the ground." A dark voice came from underground, and then a huge creature rose up from the ground.

A giant rock tortoise, almost larger than the white and black tortoise, stood up, spewing flames from its mouth and nose as it spoke.

This demonstrates Xuanhei's application of the power of the Five Elements, indicating that Xuanhei is truly angry this time.

Feipeng emerged from the bushes, its body covered in twigs and leaves, its feathers curled up, and its head transformed into an afro.

This time, its yellow eyes were devoid of anger, only filled with confusion. It couldn't beat the pig, and this tortoise was so strong that it felt hopeless about its life as a bird.

"Come on, little bird." Xuanhei's huge, fiery eyes looked at Feipeng.

This scene made Fei Peng's heart pound; he truly no longer had the ability to fight Xuan Hei.

Then Feipeng lowered its wings, folded its claws, and did something that Xuanhei didn't expect. It wobbled over to Zeng Su, rested its head on Zeng Su's thigh, half-opened its wings and pressed them against the side of Zeng Su's leg, and then leaned its body against him.

"Chirp chirp"

A heart-wrenching cry, trembling with utter distress, was a complaint. "Master, look at it! I'm so scared!!"

Xuanhei was stunned.

"Alright, alright." Zeng Su reached out and pulled Fei Peng's head into his arms, smoothing down his ruffled feathers. "Xuan Hei was just teasing you, he didn't really mean to hit you."

Fei Peng buried his head in Zeng Su's arms, making a muffled "gurgling" sound, his body still trembling slightly.

"That wretched, stupid bird, pretending to be pitiful?"

Xuanhei stood still and roared loudly. It never expected Feipeng to be so "shameless".

"Alright." Zeng Su stood up and gently patted Fei Peng on the head. "We've become friends through this fight. From now on, we're family. Let's call it quits and stop fighting."

Xuanhei turned its head to the side and snorted, but the runes on its carapace slowly dimmed, the five-colored radiance faded away, and it returned to its ordinary black tortoise appearance.

Fei Peng glanced at the two "seniors," finally completely relaxed, folded his wings and retreated behind Zeng Su, then bowed his head and nodded twice as an apology.

"Alright, alright, you've had enough of this commotion. It's time to get down to business." Zeng Su clapped his hands and walked towards Xuan Hei.

Xuanhei immediately dropped its reluctant look, propped itself up on its four paws, and stared straight at Zeng Su.

Each time it condenses its bloodline, it is a torment, but it also means that it is one step closer to freedom.
