Chapter 1448 Your Teacher Is Here!

"Ah?"

Zhang Jiang's body stiffened.

Zhang Wuchen and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

What was wrong with this guy? Just moments ago he had been shouting that the Qilin bloodline must not be insulted, eager to crush the man before him alive, and now in the blink of an eye he was lying on the ground, utterly devoid of dignity?

Zhang Xuan was also a bit stunned. He scratched his head, confirmed that this fellow was indeed the same beast from before, and then looked over. "You're sure you want to acknowledge me as your master?"

"Yes. As long as you command, master, I will go east if you say east, never west!"

The Flame Qilin Beast quickly nodded, looking as if it feared this person might change his mind.

"Good."

The moment he agreed, Zhang Xuan saw a drop of blood containing a soul fly over, land on his brow, and with a slight tremor, drill inside.

Accepting the other's acknowledgment as master, in the blink of an eye he understood the thoughts of this great beast.

Under normal circumstances, the beast indeed was unwilling to submit, but after seeing him charge into the thunder tribulation and make even the latter flee in fear, it had changed its mind.

A sacred beast's soul was not as strong as a human's; its greatest fear was thunder and lightning. He could easily drive it away, allowing it to break through without obstacles—so becoming a beast pet was nothing...

Moreover, he had easily made the Azure Dragon Beast break through; making it break through would surely not be difficult either!

"I don't believe it..."

Seeing the Qilin Beast successfully acknowledge its master, Zhang Jiang's body swayed, his face turning pale as he dropped a large distance from the air.

This was a sacred beast that even the clan head could not tame, and in less than twenty minutes, it had been easily tamed by this man...

Hadn't he just wanted to kill him, tearing him to pieces... How could his attitude change so quickly?

Did you know that by changing your attitude like this, not only have I lost the bet completely, but when the clan head returns, he will surely be furious!

This was the great beast he had captured at immense cost, and now he was handing it over for nothing...

Pfft!

His face flushed red, and unable to catch his breath, he spat blood.

"You are a Qilin Beast, possessing the Qilin bloodline..."

He couldn't help grinding his teeth.

"What of the Qilin Beast? Master Zhang is a young prodigy, modest and reserved; I willingly submit..."

After acknowledging his master, the Flame Qilin Beast looked over with a proud face.

"You..."

Zhang Jiang swayed again.

Where was his dignity? His face?

Earlier, when he heard he had to submit, he made a huge fuss, ready to die on the spot. Now he looked like this... Had his soul been swapped?

"Since you acknowledge me as your master, as your master, I can't skimp on a meeting gift..."

Too lazy to pay attention to the depressed Zhang Jiang, who was about to vomit blood again, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.

The Qilin Beast was full of anticipation, wondering what gift its master would give it, when it suddenly felt a scorching heat surge from within its dantian. The previously blocked and obstructed bloodlines throughout its body were instantly opened under the impact of a surge of true energy.

"This... the previous poison?"

Its eyes wide, the Qilin Beast was filled with disbelief.

This feeling was very familiar; it was exactly the state when the poison had circulated in its body. How had it, in the blink of an eye, become something that cleared obstacles and pushed toward a higher realm?

Poison turning into a tonic—even a nine-star master teacher couldn't do this...

The Qilin Beast trembled with excitement.

At this moment, it fully understood how wise its choice had been.

It had thought he could only drive away the thunder tribulation; it had never dreamed he possessed such an ability.

It possessed the Qilin bloodline and was naturally powerful, but its flames were too fierce and hard to control, and many of its fine meridians were difficult to cultivate... Because of this, its progress was slow. This surge of true energy, wherever it went, cleared all previous hidden dangers and obstacles...

In an instant, it felt the power that had been suppressed within it for a long time stirring, ready to break through at any moment.

"Master..."

"Break through quickly; don't waste the opportunity..."

Zhang Xuan said calmly.

"Yes!" Knowing this was not the time for gratitude, the Qilin Beast closed its eyes and mobilized the power within.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, a tremendous pressure swept over, and an invincible force filled its entire body.

"It... is also going to break through?"

His face changed, and Zhang Wuchen was on the verge of tears. "Master Zhang, please take it away from here. The Zhang family... cannot withstand another thunder tribulation. I concede on their behalf..."

The Azure Dragon Beast's breakthrough earlier had nearly reduced the entire guest quarters to rubble. If this one broke through too, the Zhang family might cease to exist!

"Uh... don't worry. It's only breaking through to the late stage of Saint Domain Ninth Layer; it won't trigger a thunder tribulation!"

Zhang Xuan said awkwardly.

After the other acknowledged him as master, he also learned its exact cultivation and strength: Saint Domain Ninth Layer, Universe Space Realm, late stage!

Now, with the help of his true energy, it could at most break through to the peak... Such a minor level increase, under normal circumstances, would not bring about a thunder tribulation.

"As long as there's no thunder tribulation, that's fine..."

Looking carefully, Zhang Wuchen confirmed the power level and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been too tense earlier; only now did he understand after the other spoke.

Such a minor breakthrough indeed would not trigger a thunder tribulation.

To be honest, he had been scared by this fellow... a bit paranoid.

"Every minor level in Saint Domain Ninth Layer is as difficult as reaching the heavens. I wonder how Master Zhang managed to make it break through so easily?"

Relaxing, he asked with slight curiosity.

Making the Hell Azure Dragon Beast break through could be attributed to luck, or accumulated foundation, or deep knowledge of beast pets... But this one had just submitted, with little contact, and it also broke through... How did he do it?

If he truly had such ability, taming sacred beasts would be like child's play!

"This... luck. The Qilin Beast had also accumulated enough. I just used some methods to succeed. For other sacred beasts, it wouldn't be so easy."

Zhang Xuan said.

He certainly couldn't mention the Heavenly Dao true energy; otherwise, the trouble would be even greater. So at this moment, he needed to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious.

"I was too rash..."

Seeing that his words were evasive, Zhang Wuchen knew it involved secrets, so he cupped his fists, looked up, and smiled slightly. "I received news from the Saint Son Hall that Master Zhang's teacher is Master Yang Xuan, correct?"

"Yes, my teacher is Yang Xuan."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

He still had to let Master Yang take the blame; otherwise, being so young with so many abilities would easily get him caught as a lab rat.

Anyway, Hu Yiwei wasn't around, and this wasn't the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters. Even the Saint Son Hall hadn't found out, so the other party surely wouldn't suspect.

"No wonder..."

Nodding, Zhang Wuchen looked over with slight confusion. "Does Master Zhang know where Master Yang is now?"

"My teacher is always elusive, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. I don't know either..."

Zhang Xuan quickly said.

Stunned for a moment, Zhang Wuchen then understood why the other had come to the Zhang family but hadn't gone to find his teacher, instead causing such destruction here—he didn't know his teacher was here.

"Heh, you've come at just the right time. Master Yang happens to be in seclusion at the Zhang family. Since you're here too, you master and disciple should be able to meet soon."

Zhang Wuchen looked over with a smile.

"Master Yang is here?"

His body went rigid, and Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly contracted.
