Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

Although Zhou Shanhai felt helpless because Wu Xiao didn't look like a teenager at all, he was very satisfied with Wu Xiao. Although the kid was audacious, his strength was really strong.

He had just witnessed this kid catch up with the member of the Advent Society who activated the insect wings. The terrifying speed made Zhou Shanhai's scalp tingle.

Zhou Shanhai had only ever seen such formidable personal combat power in a beast tamer who had contracted a possessing pet. However, that beast tamer possessed such formidable combat power by relying on the power of the possessing pet, while Wu Xiao relied entirely on his own strength.

To be able to achieve this level without relying on the power of a pet beast, Zhou Shanhai couldn't help but feel curious. But this was just a little curiosity.

Zhou Shanhai had no intention of delving into it. Everyone has their own opportunities, such as special extraordinary items that can be used not only by pets but also by humans. These extraordinary items can greatly enhance a person's physical strength.

But there is still an upper limit, and that upper limit is the limit of those special and extraordinary things.

However, to break through this limit, it is still necessary to contract a pet. Given Wu Xiao's situation, if he contracts a pet that possesses him, his combat power will definitely rise to another level. However, pets that possess him are too rare, and it is not easy to obtain one.

After thinking about this, Zhou Shanhai pondered for a moment before speaking, "Kid, are you interested in contracting a possessing pet? You've done a great service this time, so you can use that merit to get the bureau to help you find one."

Wu Xiao's demonstrated strength convinced Zhou Shanhai to invest heavily in his development. Wu Xiao's temperament and combat prowess were among the best he had ever seen in a newcomer. Previously, Zhou Shanhai had thought Wu Xiao's spiritual talent was lacking and his future achievements limited, but now Wu Xiao was showing a different kind of potential.

This combat power, combined with the possession-type pet, gives Wu Xiao a broader future. As for Wu Xiao's weakness in mental strength, that is not a problem.

If all else fails, use some treasures that enhance mental power to help Wu Xiao condense a contract rune. Once a contract rune is condensed, he can form a contract with a possessing pet, thus combining Wu Xiao's powerful combat strength with the power of the possessing pet.

"Meow!!"

As soon as Zhou Shanhai finished speaking, a pink figure rushed into Wu Xiao's arms. Then, the pink-haired little guy glared at Zhou Shanhai. It was Mimi who had run away earlier. Seeing that Wu Xiao was safe, Mimi naturally ran over as well.

As soon as Mimi arrived, she overheard some bad people trying to persuade her family to form contracts with other pets, which made Mimi very unhappy.

The people belong to it!

Wu Xiao declined Zhou Shanhai's suggestion without much hesitation. He knew that his own strength still had a lot of room for growth, and his primary goal at the moment was to improve himself.

As for possessing pets, once their strength reaches a bottleneck, they can consider using these external items to further enhance their combat power and seek a breakthrough.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Wu Xiao's refusal, Zhou Shanhai sighed softly. He really wanted to tell Wu Xiao that possessing pets were extremely rare, and to help him get such a pet, in addition to the merit he had made this time, he would also need the recommendation of Zhou Shanhai, the captain.

Neither of these two can be missing. The police department has a large number of members but limited resources. Everyone is watching, so it's difficult to get others to agree unless you come up with a convincing reason.

"Mimi~Mimi~Mimi!"

As Zhou Shanhai sighed, Mimi's voice kept ringing out. She was speaking ill of Zhou Shanhai to Wu Xiao, telling him not to listen to this bad person.

"Alright, little one, I was wrong just now."

Being spoken ill of to his face made Zhou Shanhai blush with embarrassment. He quickly apologized to Mimi, admitting that he had alienated the pet and the tamer, which was a highly unethical act.

If anyone tries to sow discord between him and Tianqing, Zhou Shanhai will be furious.

"Boom!"

As they were talking, the battle in the distance took a new turn. In fact, the earth python was struggling to hold on against the azure's attacks.

"You forced me to this! You're the ones who made me this way!"

Seeing that his pet beast was about to be defeated, the member of the Descent Society became increasingly frantic. Then, he took out a bottle of potion and drank it in one gulp.

This drug is used to test adaptors. The Adventists, driven to the brink, are now preparing for a final desperate struggle to survive.

His actions were not without precedent. The Third God's Agent of the Advent Society was a member of the Advent Society just like him, and the latter was also surrounded by the police due to an accident, falling into a huge crisis.

In dire straits, that person drank a potion containing the power of a great being and successfully survived, becoming an adaptor.

As that person became the adaptor, the pet beast that had a contract with him also mutated and its combat power surged, eventually escaping the encirclement.

Now that he himself had encountered the same predicament as that person, he naturally wanted to take a gamble. If he succeeded, he could not only escape but also become a god's agent revered by everyone.

"ah!!"

After drinking the potion, the Adventist member immediately let out a painful scream, feeling as if his soul and body were being burned by flames.

"hiss!!"

Then, the burning pain was transferred to the boa constrictor through the contract, causing the boa constrictor to also emit painful hisses.

"Azure, use the Sky Claw to end this battle."

Zhou Shanhai gazed at the man and beast, their expressions contorted in pain, and issued new commands to the Gale War Wolf in battle through their contractual link. Sky-Splitting Claw—this was Tianqing's signature move, a powerful wind-based skill that only a select few Gale War Wolves could master.

Originally, as long as Tianqing played it safe, he could have defeated the earth python, whose combat power was far inferior to his own. However, after the member of the Descent Society drank the potion, Zhou Shanhai dared not hold back.

Although many years have passed since the incident involving the third seat of the Advent Society, such a lesson must not be repeated.

"Awooo!!"

Upon receiving the Beastmaster's command, Tianqing let out a long howl, and a gust of wind gathered before its claws, forming an energy claw made of wind. Then, Tianqing swung its claw at the earth python, which was screaming madly in pain.

"puff!"

The wind claw landed on the mud-covered boa constrictor, tearing the sticky mud apart with a sound like a knife cutting into flesh.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Wu Xiao stared at Tian Qing's wind claw, his heart filled with shock. The defense that he couldn't completely break through even with all his strength was as fragile as paper in front of this wind claw.

"I wonder if I can reach Senior Tianqing's level after I complete the four stages of body tempering." Wu Xiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Refining skin, refining flesh, refining bones, and refining filth are the four stages of body tempering in martial arts. At present, Wu Xiao has only achieved minor success in refining skin.

His mission points upon returning this time should be enough for him to enter the second stage of Body Tempering, at which point his combat power will experience another huge leap.

I'll ask Senior Tianqing for a match then; I think he won't refuse.
