Chapter 1498: First, Squeeze Out the Phoenix's Value, Then We'll Talk

"Look, the Golden-Scaled Mermaid was only Sovereign-Rank Low-Grade just now, but after an intense battle, it leveled up by one rank. If it keeps fighting, it might even reach Sovereign-Rank High-Grade!"

"How could that be?"

The Phoenix didn't believe it.

That fierce beast could have such a way of leveling up?

Unless it had eaten some heavenly treasure.

"My pets are all very good at creating miracles. If you don't believe it, just watch!"

"Fine, I'm watching!"

Two days later, Su Yang heard the system notification sound.

"Ding~ Your pet Human-Faced Spider has leveled up to Sovereign-Rank Low-Grade!"

"Ding~ Your pet Golden-Scaled Mermaid has leveled up to Sovereign-Rank High-Grade!"

In those two days, more than ten Sovereign-Rank fierce beasts crawled out of the spatial rift, and all of them were taken down by the Golden-Scaled Mermaid. Among them was even a Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade fierce beast!

After the Golden-Scaled Mermaid took down that Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade fierce beast, no more powerful Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade fierce beasts tried to enter this world.

And the Golden-Scaled Mermaid and the Human-Faced Spider had also expended a great deal.

Before Su Yang arrived, they had already been fighting the fire-element fierce beasts from the Phoenix's territory, and by now, they had held out for a very long time.

Seeing that they had expended a great deal, and that no powerful Sovereign-Rank fierce beasts had appeared again, and that Imperial-Rank fierce beasts were also growing fewer—only brainless low-level fire-element fierce beasts were showing up—Su Yang decided to call a halt to the battle.

"Well? My words have come true, haven't they?"

"Mm!"

The Phoenix didn't look at the Golden-Scaled Mermaid and the Human-Faced Spider again, but instead set her gaze on Su Yang.

"Su Yang, you must have some secret on you, don't you?"

If it were an isolated case, the Phoenix wouldn't have suspected it was Su Yang's doing.

But if both pets were like this, combined with Su Yang's heaven-defying growth, she could only set her gaze on Su Yang.

"Secret?" Su Yang smiled. "Who doesn't have secrets? You have them, of course I have them too, right?"

The Phoenix watched Su Yang flying toward the spatial rift and said angrily, "You really are an unlikable fellow."

Su Yang waved his hand without looking back and said, "I'm actually very likable. The problem is with you!"

"With me?"

"Yes, you're not human!"

Su Yang's figure flashed, and he appeared before the Golden-Scaled Mermaid.

"Master!"

"General Su!"

Without receiving Su Yang's order, none of them dared to rest.

"You can rest now. You've all done your best... Your performance wasn't bad!"

Tired smiles appeared on the faces of Sovereign Jiazi, the Golden-Scaled Mermaid, and the Human-Faced Spider—one person and two beasts.

Little Fish said, "Master, we can still fight!"

"Forget it!" Su Yang shook his head. "Continuing to kill won't do much for your leveling up. There's no need—it would just be a waste of time."

"Alright!"

Su Yang turned around and said to the Phoenix, "Make those fierce beasts quiet down a bit!"

"Mm!"

Though unhappy, the Phoenix still did as Su Yang instructed.

She scattered a ball of orange-red flame, which hovered in the center of the spatial rift, burning slowly.

Su Yang looked at the Annihilation Flame and felt a sense of dread.

"Like this, no fierce beast will dare approach."

"Mm, that's good then!"

"Let's go sit in the villa!" Su Yang glanced at the mermaid clan in the sea. "Any of you who are injured can also come in—I'll treat you."

The main force in the battle was, of course, Sovereign Jiazi.

However, the mermaid clan that had relocated here, under Seeing Xiao Shan's command, had also contributed quite a bit.

The Golden-Scaled Mermaid was fine, but Sovereign Jiazi and the Human-Faced Spider had both sustained some injuries. Since they needed treatment anyway, Su Yang didn't mind treating the mermaid clan as well.

"Thank you, General Su!"

Seeing Xiao Shan hurriedly thanked him.

The villa Su Yang had originally left for Liu Mengyun to live in was still there—the war hadn't touched it, and it still stood tall on the white glacier.

After Su Yang healed the injured Sovereign Jiazi, Human-Faced Spider, and the mermaids, Seeing Xiao Shan sensibly led the mermaid clan away.

In the living room, only Su Yang, the Phoenix, Sovereign Jiazi, and Little Fish remained.

Su Yang sat down on the sofa and unceremoniously took the center seat. The Phoenix thought for a moment, then sat on Su Yang's right. Little Fish didn't hesitate, sitting directly on Su Yang's left, her soft, boneless body leaning right against him.

Sovereign Jiazi brought over four cups of tea, glanced at Little Fish with a raised brow, but said nothing.

"Master, you haven't come to see us in so long!" Little Fish said coquettishly. "We thought you'd forgotten about us."

"How could I forget you?" Su Yang explained. "It's just that things have been busy lately. I only just managed to sort everything out."

Sovereign Jiazi sat across from Su Yang and asked softly, "General Su, are things mostly settled now?"

"Sorted out for now. I formed a marriage alliance with the Qingluan Kingdom royal family, and both sides have temporarily reached peace. I've also become a Divine-Rank Beast Tamer. Not long ago, I took down the Beast God of the Divine Beast Sect, removing the greatest threat to the Huaxia Federation."

Sovereign Jiazi said in surprise, "Divine-Rank Beast Tamer?"

"Yes!" Su Yang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Follow the method I taught you and cultivate well—you'll become a Divine-Rank Beast Tamer too."

"I won't let my lord down. I'll strive to become a Divine-Rank Beast Tamer as soon as possible!"

Thinking of becoming a Divine-tier Beast Tamer, Sovereign Jiazi's heart burned with excitement.

Right now, she had only one pursuit, and that was to become a Divine-tier Beast Tamer.

Sitting to one side, the phoenix overheard the conversation between Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi and could not help but snort, "General Su, I admit that you Beast Tamers are born with a great advantage, but even so, becoming a Divine-tier Beast Tamer is not that simple!"

The phoenix had good reason to say so.

The Beast Tamer Great World was vast beyond measure; though the number of humans was far less than that of vicious beasts, it was still countless, like the sands of the Ganges.

A Divine-tier Beast Tamer stood at the very pinnacle of that world, almost on par with a Divine Beast.

It was not something one could break through just by saying so!

Su Yang said slowly, "Sovereign Jiazi is someone I have high hopes for. She will break through!"

"What about Xia Na?"

"Yes."

"What about Liu Mengyun?"

"Her too!"

The phoenix always felt that Su Yang was somewhat arrogant and overconfident.

On what grounds could the people he valued become Divine-tier Beast Tamers?

"You don't believe it?"

Su Yang also noticed the phoenix's expression.

"Of course I don't!"

Su Yang said earnestly, "Just wait two or three years, and you'll see!"

The phoenix nodded. "Fine, I'll wait and see!"

Xiaoyu asked softly, "General Su, who is this elder sister?"

"A Divine Beast, a phoenix. The one that ran out of the spatial rift some days ago—that was her!" Su Yang introduced. "Now, she is my pet beast."

The phoenix nodded reservedly to Xiaoyu and Sovereign Jiazi.

It was only out of regard for Su Yang.

Sovereign Jiazi was not all that surprised; ever since Su Yang became a Divine-tier Beast Tamer, she had been mentally prepared.

It was Xiaoyu who felt some pressure.

Su Yang stroked Xiaoyu's long hair, then turned to ask the phoenix, "Phoenix, how long can your flames seal the spatial rift?"

"Maintain it for half a year. If there's no energy replenishment within half a year, it will slowly go out."

"Good then!" Su Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Do you know where that Divine Beast on our Water Blue Planet is?"
