Chapter 163 A New Storm Has Emerged_3
Even within the mighty Yun Hao Empire, such an event had never occurred before.
Although Wu Tong couldn't understand it, there was one thing he was very clear about.
That was if the Immortal Phoenix Sect knew about this, they would definitely be interested in the young man before him.
Even... regardless of how the young man performed in the great competition among the nations, the Immortal Phoenix Sect might consider recruiting him as an exceptional case to become an inner sect disciple.
So, he had to take action.
He must prevent all of this from happening, which was the very reason for his existence as an envoy sent by the Yun Hao Empire.
By suppressing the prodigies of vassal nations, to weaken the power of those nations!
He absolutely couldn't allow the young man before him to participate in the grand competition among the nations.
Or rather... he absolutely couldn't let that young man represent the Great Yan nation in the grand competition!
To recruit him and have him fight as a member of the Yun Hao Empire.
Or...
A cold light flashed in Wu Tong's eyes.
If they couldn't recruit him, then they should find a way to nip the young man in the bud.
A dead prodigy was no longer a prodigy.
Immediately afterward, his eyes revealed a hint of greed.
If he successfully recruited him... he himself would not have the chance to learn the young man's secrets.
After all, he wasn't the only envoy who had come to the Great Yan nation, and his actions would be known to others once he returned to the Yun Hao Empire.
But if he found a way to eliminate the young man, maybe he could seize the secret that allowed the young man to merge as one with his beast for himself.
With myriad thoughts running through his mind, not a trace of them showed on his face.
Soon, Ji Chuheng was brought up onto the high platform.
Wu Tong wore a kindly smile on his face, grasping Ji Chuheng's hand and insincerely inquired about the details of the recent battle.
…
"Stop struggling," Lin Su said irritably, slapping the face of the Beast Tamer who still wanted to resist with his long spear, "Crush your Secret Realm Pearl. Your journey in the Secret Realm is over."
"You... what exactly are you?" The Beast Tamer's expression was filled with intense fear, "What kind of Beast Tamer are you?!"
"That's not important," Lin Su chuckled, "Don't waste time, I still need to eliminate the next one."
"I..." The Beast Tamer glared at Lin Su resentfully and without further hesitation, swiftly crushed his own Secret Realm Pearl.
In a surge of teleportation power, the figure of the Beast Tamer had already vanished from the spot.
Lin Su glanced down at his own Secret Realm Pearl, his face showing an additional hint of amusement.

About two hours had passed since the final round began.
In these two hours, Lin Su had been continuously eliminating other contestants.
First, he would effortlessly subdue their beasts, then force them to crush their Secret Realm Pearls.
He had become extremely proficient in this process.
Now he had completely eliminated all the Beast Tamers from the ice and dark realms, and had started on those from other realms.
The reason he targeted these two realms first was to incidentally search for the resources within the Secret Realm.
A Profound-grade Secret Realm can produce resources of the sixth and seventh levels.
It's just a pity that the number of resources produced is much less compared to those from a Yellow-grade Secret Realm.
After searching through the ice realm, Lin Su had only found three sixth-level ice resources, and the dark realm yielded even fewer, with just two.
Not a single level seven resource, probably taken by someone else beforehand.
How stingy!
"Come out!" Lin Su put away the Secret Realm Pearl and turned his gaze to one side, "You've been following me for quite some time."
"Not that long," a figure slowly emerged from the depths of the woods, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, "Just for about ten or so minutes..."
Lin Su's eyes narrowed slightly, "Does His Highness the Prince also wish to have a fight with me?"
"No fight." Clutching a golden-sunned, dotted brow, followed by a silvery white warrior, Yan Susen decisively shook his head, "I can't win."
Lin Su: "..."
This was somewhat unexpected.
Based on his impression of Yan Susen, that guy should be quite proud.
Yan Susen's face showed a touch of oddness, "You're not going to ask me to crush the Secret Realm Pearl, are you?"
"No," Lin Su shook his head.
If there were only one victor in the end, he would have taken action already.
But there were two victors.
Ji Chuheng had already been eliminated by him, and besides him, the other victor should rightfully be Yan Susen.
Among the Beast Tamers Lin Su knew, there was no one worthy of his favor, so there was no need to eliminate Yan Susen, letting a weaker player who originally didn't qualify win the other spot.
Of course, the most important point was...
"You're a prince; I'm afraid of the royal family making things difficult for me if I eliminate you," Lin Su spoke bluntly.
"Then I really should thank myself for being born right," Yan Susen's expression relaxed, and he quickly stepped in front of Lin Su, curiosity written all over his face, "What's happening with you? Looking at your traits, you seem somewhat like Frost Flower Dream Shadow. Could it be that you've merged together with your pet? Do Beast Tamers also have such a technique? Can you still separate after merging together?"
Once sure that Lin Su wouldn't make a move against him, Yan Susen suddenly became much more talkative.
"This is called Guardian Beast Co-operation," Lin Su said with a smile, "After merging together, naturally, we can also separate again."
"Guardian Beast Co-operation..." Yan Susen repeated silently, his face filled with even more questions, "I've never heard of such a technique. Is it some kind of Secret Technique?"
"You could say so," Lin Su nodded slightly.
"You..." Yan Susen opened his mouth but then slowly closed it.
He intended to inquire further about this secret technique, but realizing how precious it must be, he knew the other party wouldn't tell him.
Better forget it.
Lin Su, noticing Yan Susen's hesitation, smiled, "After the finals are over, I will reveal the secret of Guardian Beast Co-operation to all Beast Tamers, and by then you will naturally understand."
"What?" Yan Susen's eyes widened, "You're going to share such a powerful Secret Technique with everyone?!"
"It's nothing," Lin Su shook his head slightly.
He had no intention of revealing the Harmonizing Jade; he would only let the world's Beast Tamers know that a full bond co-operation index enables Guardian Beast Co-operation.
It would explain his own situation and encourage more Beast Tamers to treat their pets well.
Two birds with one stone.
As for whether anyone could truly achieve a full bond co-operation index...
Without the Harmonizing Jade and the ability to perform the Ember Technique, it would be very difficult for the Beast Tamers of the God of Martial Arts world to achieve this.
Even if they could, it would be the minority.
So, in essence, he was offering them a pie in the sky...
Upon hearing Lin Su's words, Yan Susen couldn't help but admire, "I have great respect for Brother Lin's magnanimity; I will help you eliminate Ji Chuheng so that the second victor's spot will definitely be yours!"
"No need," Lin Su coughed lightly, "he's already been eliminated by me."
Yan Susen: "..."
