Chapter 1697: Believe in Fate! Destiny

Su Yang brought Xia Na back to the villa in Shancheng, and Yun Shuying appeared soon after.

She briefly greeted Su Yang, paid him a few compliments, then wisely left.

"How was the harvest?"

Su Yang asked Xia Na.

"Not bad!" Xia Na smiled. "That Shenlongshang Alliance branch had plenty of Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer, almost all of them I killed."

"That's great!"

Don't underestimate Emperor-Rank Beast Tamers as mere fighters.

Only large organizations like Babaozhai and Shenlongshang Alliance, spanning dozens of nations, have Emperor-Rank Beast Tamers clustered together.

Elsewhere, finding even one Emperor-Rank Beast Tamer is hard.

In Qingluan Nation, Emperor-Rank Beast Tamers are quite rare.

Only the capital, Qingluan City, has somewhat more.

"Any other gains?"

Xia Na pulled out a handful of space rings: "Do their space rings count?"

"Yes!"

This Babaozhai mission's main target was the collection in the Blue Demon City branch.

And the God-Rank Beast Tamer, plus the divine beast egg!

The space rings of other Emperor-Rank, Royal-Rank, and King-Rank Beast Tamers were spoils of war.

Whoever killed them, gets them.

During the combat assignment, Xia Na was cunning.

She sent Zhou Qian to handle the divine beast, while she went after the other Beast Tamers and looted the Shenlongshang Alliance.

She knew well she couldn't compete with Su Yang for that divine beast.

It was wiser to stick with the other Beast Tamers.

Xia Na played with the space rings, murmuring: "Joining Babaozhai is indeed convenient!"

Su Yang smiled: "Right?"

"Mm!" Xia Na nodded. "We can kill Beast Tamers freely, and the blame falls on Babaozhai. The gains are decent—perfect for our current situation."

"Exactly. For now, we just stay quiet and grow rich. When I reach God-Rank Mid-Grade, I'll be a major force on this Beast Tamer continent!"

Su Yang's standards were still a bit too high.

God-Rank Beast Tamers weren't as cheap as he imagined.

He had the illusion that God-Rank Beast Tamers were everywhere, because of his environment.

Organizations like Babaozhai and Shenlongshang Alliance, with tens of thousands of years of development and influence spanning countless nations, naturally had deep accumulations—and naturally clustered God-Rank Beast Tamers.

If he stayed in just one nation, he'd truly be invincible.

Su Yang had long been used to being number one; arriving in this new world and seeing countless other strong figures broadened his horizons, reigniting his competitive spirit.

Lying on the sofa, Su Yang recalled the great battle in Blue Demon City.

"I'm stepping out—watch this for me!"

"Got it!"

With that, Su Yang vanished from where he stood.

When Su Yang reappeared, he was far beyond Shancheng.

He released the Storm Eagle and gently stroked its blade-like wings.

The Storm Eagle had grown from its original size, little more than a corrupted sparrow, into a true behemoth…

Though not as massive as the Earthquake Bear, Hellblood Vine, or Three-Headed Demon Shark, it was still enormous.

The Storm Eagle looked at Su Yang, its sharp, ferocious eyes revealing a rare softness.

"Perfect—I still have talent points. Let me boost your strength a bit!"

The Storm Eagle hopped in place, clearly delighted.

"System, spend three talent points to upgrade the Storm Eagle's Common-Rank Thunder Power to Mythic-Rank!"

"Ding~ Common-Rank talent Thunder Power successfully upgraded to Mythic-Rank!"

"Ding~ Your Storm Eagle has gained the Mythic-Rank talent Thunder God Power!"

Thunder God Power (Mythic-Rank): Greatly enhances the pet's thunder-based skill effects (destructive power, paralysis, attack speed), greatly reduces thunder-skill mana cost, greatly increases thunder resistance, and grants amplified power in thunderstorm environments!

Su Yang nodded approvingly at the description of Thunder God Power.

Thunder God Power was no ordinary skill talent.

Once upgraded to Mythic-Rank, it fully enhanced the Storm Eagle's thunder attributes.

With Thunder God Power, the Storm Eagle's speed and attack power had surged again.

More perfect, more ferocious!

The Storm Eagle's God-Rank High-Grade divine beast potential would eventually become God-Rank Top-Grade, rivaling the Extinction Phoenix!

Not just his Storm Eagle—his other pets would all reach that level eventually!

Su Yang smiled at the Storm Eagle: "Old friend, it's been a long time since we went for a ride together!"

The Storm Eagle crouched low, letting Su Yang climb on.

Su Yang leapt onto its back; the Storm Eagle flapped its wings, summoning a gale, becoming a black lightning bolt shooting straight into the sky.

The Storm Eagle pierced through thin clouds, thick layers of clouds, storms crackling with lightning…

As if it could cleave through anything blocking its path!

Standing on the Storm Eagle's back, Su Yang spread his arms, feeling the wind slash past like blades.

Even if he married two wives, even if he kept a mistress.

Even if he had a son, even if he became a General!

Su Yang was still that boy who loved speed, chasing the wind!

The thrill of speed!

This kind of pleasure, speed could never give him!

After wandering outside for a while, when Su Yang returned, even Xia Na could feel the joy in his heart!

"What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Xia Na laughed and lay down in Su Yang's arms.

"I just flew out for a while—my mood is great!"

Su Yang smiled and slipped his hand inside Xia Na's clothes.

Just now, Su Yang had flown tens of thousands of miles.

He had crossed countless countries.

"Just now, Yun Shuying came to look for you, but I stopped her—I said you'd just finished a great battle and were exhausted, so you went to sleep!"

"Why did she want to see me?"

"It seems the president of the Baozhaide Society wants to meet you!" Xia Na gently caught Su Yang's mischievous hand through her clothes and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to see her?"

"Fine, I'll see her!"

"Then be careful…"
