Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

The Blue Curse Orchid is a peculiar creature brought back by Fang Mu from a high-dimensional world, its survivability beyond doubt.

"Blue Curse, in a few more days I'll relocate you to an environment that's extremely suitable for your growth."

The ocean pollution issue hasn't been resolved yet, and this tidal event continues to sweep vast amounts of Outer Realm creatures into the waters of the Han Yang Empire, exacerbating the pollution problem faced by the empire day by day.

Humans have sent many specially cultivated Beast Masters to aid the Han Yang Empire, but these beasts require quite some time to demonstrate their effectiveness.

This time, Fang Mu brought the Blue Curse to the Han Yang Empire, intending to help the empire address its pollution problem by testing if the Blue Curse could absorb the polluted energy from the sea.

Currently, Fang Mu cannot provide a specific environment tailored to the Blue Curse's needs, so it's unclear just how strong its capability to absorb polluted energy might be.

Since Fang Mu decided to begin exploring dimensional worlds, Outer Realm embryos have become as obtainable as he desires.

Fang Mu plans to use a large number of Outer Realm embryos to nourish the Blue Curse Orchid, to see just how swiftly it can absorb them.

Through experimentation, Fang Mu discovered that the Blue Curse Orchid's rate of absorption for Outer Realm embryos is at least five times faster than that of Fool's Shadow.

The Outer Realm embryos Fang Mu has on hand are simply not enough to sustain the Blue Curse Orchid for long periods.

Judging by its absorption speed, the Blue Curse Orchid should also have a tremendous capability to draw in polluted energy from the seas.

Over the past few days, Fang Mu has been observing the Blue Curse Orchid while waiting for Qi Yue. Previously, absorbing thunder energy didn't seem to significantly enhance the Blue Curse Orchid's power.

But now, its strength has rapidly risen.

At present, the Blue Curse Orchid can undoubtedly overpower Sequential Nine and Sequential Eight-level Guardian Beasts with ease.

With its enigmatic attack methods, defeating Sequential Seven and Sequential Six beasts isn't out of the question!

It's only been a short while; once Fang Mu plants the Blue Curse Orchid at the entrance to the Sea of Domains' passage, its strength is bound to grow even more swiftly.

Fang Mu plans to explore this dimensional world before unleashing the Fool's Shadow's innate divine ability [Order Realm Peeking] to venture into an even higher-dimensional world.

Perhaps he might bring back yet another miraculous creature akin to the Blue Curse Orchid!

Fang Mu hasn't told Fang Qin, Fang Yuan, or Yan Wood about his plans to explore this dimensional world.

The journey poses significant risks, and Fang Mu doesn't want his family to worry about him.

Previously, the Dragon Rising Federation achieved near-universal participation through its Battle Network; now, the Second World has replaced the Battle Network. Beast Masters often surf the Second World during their spare time.

Many have even started businesses within the Second World; making money there is much easier than it was on the Battle Network.

Fang Mu's rise to the Hall Tier has greatly inspired many in the Dragon Rising Federation. From the very moment Yan Luo summoned his dead creatures, the Federation's audience recognized him.

With Yan Luo in the faction, competitors under twenty years old in the Dragon Rising Federation not only stand a chance in the East Competition District but may also claim victory among the four major competition zones overall.

Outstanding young individuals from all major forces who meet the age criteria have received official invitations from the Dragon Rising Federation, and the selection has formally begun as of yesterday.

Fang Yuan, Yan Wood, and Jiang Tuo have all been quite busy recently.

However, individuals like Hu Tao and Fang Qin, being functional-type Beast Masters, do not plan to participate in 1v1 duels.

Despite this, both Hu Tao and Fang Qin are preparing to attend the competition as spectators. Meanwhile, the Dragon Rising Federation's officials asked Shuoyang Grandmaster to personally invite Fang Mu.

Fang Mu outright declined Shuoyang's invitation, explaining that he had crucial matters to deal with, but assured that he would represent the Dragon Rising Federation when the East Competition District's matches commence.

Shuoyang didn't press Fang Mu further. As a Saint Creator and a disciple of Qixing, Fang Mu was bound to take on numerous responsibilities in Qixing's stead, especially when Qixing avoided public appearances.

If Shuoyang were to repeatedly pester Fang Mu, it might have adverse effects. As long as Fang Mu was willing to represent the Federation in combat, that was all that mattered!

Meanwhile, Qi Yue covertly infiltrated the Dragon Rising Federation, taking care not to be detected by its powerful individuals.

As a high-ranking member of a Beast Controlling Force, entering a human federation could stir up considerable trouble, and the Emperor Beast Court would certainly question her actions as well.

Being able to transform into a human form gave Qi Yue a significant advantage in infiltrating the human federation.

Upon meeting Fang Mu, Qi Yue deeply bowed to him.

"Sir Jianmu, I'm deeply apologetic. I hadn't anticipated the Emperor Beast Court making such a decision."

Although Qi Yue had previously communicated with Fang Mu through a Communication Beast, she felt it necessary to reiterate her stance in person.

Fang Mu waved his hand to Qi Yue.

"Miss Qi Yue, since the Emperor Beast Court has already acted, there's no reversing their decision. Just hand over the king-level Outer Realm embryo to me."

"This matter won't affect the way I view you personally, so there's no need for concern."

"As for my master, there hasn't been any particular reaction after learning of the situation."

"However, in the future, if the Emperor Beast Court wishes to collaborate with my master, it certainly won't be as easy as before."

Hearing Fang Mu's words, Qi Yue sighed. Knowing that this incident wouldn't alter Qixing's perception of her came as a relief.

But clearly, the matter had caused Qixing to develop some dissatisfaction toward the Emperor Beast Court.

In this instance, Qi Yue knew she couldn't plead on behalf of the Court; doing so would only provoke annoyance.

Qi Yue handed over the king-level Outer Realm embryo, a piece resembling a true work of art, into Fang Mu's hands.

This king-level embryo possessed a silver-gray metallic sheen, adorned with crystalline protrusions covered in whirlpool-like patterns. Beyond that, its surface bore several opened slits filled with spiked thorns, resembling open mouths.

Given Fang Mu's extensive understanding of Outer Realm creatures, this embryo gave him the impression of it belonging to a Swallow-type entity.

Fang Mu stored the king-level Outer Realm embryo away, speaking earnestly to Qi Yue.

"Miss Qi Yue, offering me this king-level Outer Realm embryo is more than enough. In the future, if any Beast Controlling Forces intend to sell king-level Outer Realm embryos, please notify me in advance."

"I might still be interested in acquiring them!"

Qi Yue nodded at his words and replied.

"Sir Jianmu, I will continue monitoring any news of king-level Outer Realm embryos for you."

After a brief pause, Qi Yue continued to speak.

"It's a shame you couldn't visit the territory of our Praying Sky Deer clan this time, but I've brought all of our finest youths from the clan to you."

"Would you have any interest in selecting from among them?"

"They're all eager to be chosen by you, to become your contracted creatures!"

Qi Yue's words were no mere pleasantries; they were the truth.

When Qi Yue informed the Praying Sky Deer clan's younger generation of this opportunity, all of them were electrified with excitement, hoping to be chosen as a contracted creature to a Saint Creator's disciple like Fang Mu.

Becoming a contracted creature to a Saint Creator's disciple would guarantee access to abundant rare supplies and improve their standing within the clan!

Qi Yue even promised that whoever Fang Mu chose would be nurtured as the second-in-command for the clan's future leadership.

This was a tremendous honor for every young Praying Sky Deer.

The young Praying Sky Deer all had unique talents, but the ultimate decision of who would succeed Qi Yue as the clan's next High Priest rested in her hands.

Attaining the top position wasn't easy, but competing for second place was already a great opportunity!

From the moment Fang Mu first learned about the Praying Sky Deer, he had been intrigued by the idea of contracting one and was particularly fascinated by their abilities.
