Chapter 137

The girl of the Hellblood Vine flower's eyes were filled with fear; she could hardly believe it: "How do you know? How do you know? There's only one Hellblood Vine flower in this world—how could you possibly know my abilities?"

A regular Beast Tamer, to learn a pet beast's talent, must either have the pet beast tell him outright.

Or the Beast Tamer must roughly deduce the pet beast's talent from its battle performance…

Nothing like Su Yang's extreme display—just one glance, he saw through every detail of the ferocious beast!

"Your skills include rapid growth and spore parasitism… right?" Su Yang pointed at his eyes and smiled, "Sorry, but in my eyes, you have no secrets!"

The Hellblood Vine flower girl looked at Su Yang with caution.

Su Yang discovered that just from those few words, the Hellblood Vine's loyalty to him rose from 13 to 31!

The Hellblood Vine flower girl pressed her lips and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I am a Beast Tamer, a Beast Tamer skilled in cultivating pet beasts—any pet beast trained by me can be reborn, transformed, and renewed; even a ferocious beast with only Gold-Rank growth potential can be turned into a God-Rank pet beast by me!"

The Hellblood Vine flower girl sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Don't test my patience!" Su Yang said calmly, "Though you possess God-Rank growth potential, in my eyes your combat ability is low—of your three Mythic-level talents, only one can slightly enhance combat… the rest, I don't even consider worth a glance!"

"You!"

The Hellblood Vine flower girl became furious.

As a ferocious beast with God-Rank potential, the Hellblood Vine held herself in high esteem!

"Be quiet—I'm not joking with you!"

Su Yang suddenly stepped before the Hellblood Vine girl, reached out, and gently placed his hand on her smooth forehead: "Since you've now become my pet beast, let me let you feel my ability!"

"System, distribute the quest reward!"

Previously, he feared the Hellblood Vine would take the benefit and flee.

Now, Su Yang had no such concerns!

"Ding~ Rewarding your pet beast, Hellblood Vine, Mythic-level talent—Blessing of the Earth (Mythic-level)!"

Blessing of the Earth (Mythic-level): When this pet beast is rooted in the earth, it continuously absorbs the earth's power, greatly enhancing combat ability, greatly enhancing recovery ability, and allowing free movement through the earth.

"Ding~ Because your pet beast, Hellblood Vine, has gained a Mythic-level talent, its growth potential has increased—from God-Rank Mid-Grade to God-Rank Top-Grade!"

When Su Yang saw the Mythic-level talent the Hellblood Vine had gained, he couldn't help but marvel.

Blessing of the Earth was truly perfect for the Hellblood Vine!

Greatly enhancing combat ability, greatly enhancing recovery ability, and allowing free movement through the earth—

With this talent, the Hellblood Vine's combat and survival capabilities had undergone a qualitative leap!

Su Yang withdrew his hand and asked softly, "Did you feel it?"

"I felt it!" The Hellblood Vine girl stared excitedly at her body, "My potential has increased, and I've gained a new talent—this talent… is at least Mythic-level, right?"

"It's called Blessing of the Earth. Try re-rooting your vines into the earth."

The Hellblood Vine girl's feet twisted and transformed into blood-brown tree roots, plunging into the earth!

"Blessing of the Earth lets you gain stronger combat power, stronger recovery, and lets you move freely through the earth… How's that? Is your master's gift not impressive?"

The Hellblood Vine girl's body slowly sank, fully vanishing into the earth.

Soon, she slowly rose again from the soil layer, reappearing before Su Yang, spotless and clean.

The Hellblood Vine girl stared at Su Yang in disbelief and asked, "Are you a god?"

To the Hellblood Vine, a being who could casually enhance her growth potential and grant her a powerful Mythic-level talent must be a god!

"No, I'm not a god—I'm the one who creates gods!" Su Yang gently stroked the Hellblood Vine girl's crimson hair and said, "I hope you'll seize this opportunity and become one of them."

At that moment, Su Yang noticed the Hellblood Vine's loyalty to him had skyrocketed from 31 to 89!

89—that's more than enough!

High loyalty doesn't directly boost either side's strength.

As long as the pet beast doesn't defect, it makes no difference.

"Let's go!"

Su Yang recalled the Hellblood Vine, mounted the Storm Eagle, and flew northward.

He had to return as soon as possible.

When Su Yang returned, Wu Yuqing ran over and asked, "Why are you back so late?"

"I was just trying to find a quiet place to rest, but I ended up falling asleep…"

"Earlier, Captain He came looking for you, found you gone, and asked me to tell you—the Lord of Xingcheng wants to see you."

"Understood. I'll go right away!"

Su Yang went to Su Liqun's tent, but was told Su Liqun had already gone to Jian Renhao's tent.

He was also told that if Su Yang returned, he should be taken directly to Jian Renhao's tent.

Under the guidance of Xingcheng soldiers, Su Yang lifted the flap of Jian Renhao's tent.

As soon as he entered, Su Yang saw Su Liqun, Jian Renhao, Xu Kaifeng, and He Luo—all four city lords—present.

Before them stood a square table, laden with fine wine and delicacies.

Su Liqun immediately asked, "Su Yang, why are you back so late?"

"I was too exhausted and wanted to rest somewhere, but I fell asleep—woke up and came back right away!"

Su Liqun casually added, "You're a soldier now—don't make this mistake again!"

"Yes, sir!"

The matter was dropped lightly.

Jian Renhao smiled and invited, "Su Yang, I saved you a seat—come sit!"

"Really?"

"Why not?" Jian Renhao said to the two other city lords, Xu Kaifeng and He Luo, "This is Su Yang—the genius who deduced that the crimson vines had a mother plant. If not for his warning, those vines might have already surged to Starlight Rank!"
