Chapter 320

Its rare-level hidden aura and invisibility skill could never escape the Storm Eagle's eyes.

Emperor-Rank potential, Platinum Low-Grade power, exceptional assassination talent…

Such an outstanding assassin-type ferocious beast, if it had been earlier, Su Yang might have claimed it himself.

But now, he has a better target.

Space is an attribute found only in legendary ferocious beasts.

That was what he wanted most right now!

This Phantom Shadow Cat could only belong to Liu Mengyun!

To be honest, Su Yang really liked petting cats.

But then he thought again—why couldn't he pet Liu Mengyun's cat?

He woke Liu Mengyun; when he told her the Phantom Shadow Cat was nearby, she was stunned.

"You're a Platinum-Rank Beast Master now—don't you want it?"

"I have another goal!"

Is there a better choice than an Emperor-Rank ferocious beast?

Liu Mengyun understood!

Emperor-Rank ferocious beasts no longer caught Su Yang's eye.

"Come on, go catch it!"

"Yes!"

"That Phantom Shadow Cat isn't simple—we must plan our tactics first!"

Su Yang knew the Phantom Shadow Cat's abilities inside out; the tactics were quickly settled.

Liu Mengyun listened with intense focus!

Su Yang led Liu Mengyun and pointed out the Phantom Shadow Cat's hidden zone, then withdrew with the Storm Eagle.

Liu Mengyun solemnly summoned the Black Tiger Eagle, the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane, and the Earth Dragon Beast.

The Black Tiger Eagle and the Thousand Cloud Wind Crane carpet-bombed that area!

"Screech!"

The Storm Eagle let out a casual cry.

Liu Mengyun instantly reacted, spreading her arms as white frosty breath surged out, enveloping all surrounding space.

Soon, a small black shadow appeared beside her.

White frost coated its entire body.

Liu Mengyun broke out in a cold sweat.

If Su Yang hadn't anticipated this possibility and designed a countermeasure for her…

She might have died here!

Directly defeating a ferocious beast and signing a contract with it does grant higher loyalty.

But that doesn't mean others can't interfere.

As long as the operation is discreet, the defeated beast won't know!

The Phantom Shadow Cat barely managed to land on the ground on all fours.

It tried to flee, but its speed had dropped drastically.

The Ice Moon Sprite's Legendary-level freezing talent was extremely powerful.

Once its body froze over, movement slowed—and the Phantom Shadow Cat was thoroughly at a disadvantage.

Liu Mengyun did not disappoint Su Yang's expectations; riding the Black Tiger Eagle, she quickly froze the Phantom Shadow Cat solid.

After signing the contract with the Phantom Shadow Cat, Liu Mengyun felt like she was still dreaming.

She had regained her strength.

No!

It wasn't just regaining her strength!

She was stronger than before!

Especially her bonded beasts—their quality was extremely high, on par with even veteran Starlight-Rank Beast Masters!

"Ding~ Liu Mengyun is very satisfied with her beast lineup—mission accomplished!"

Receiving the system's mission-completion prompt, Su Yang felt cheerful.

"Let's go back to sleep!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

This time, when Liu Mengyun called him "Colonel," her voice was full of vigor.

Her strength had returned—and so had her confidence.

To be honest, Su Yang admired confident women!

Back at camp, Su Yang glanced at the tent.

Previously, their tents had been far apart.

Now, their tents were only five meters apart.

Back in his tent, Su Yang considered briefly, then chose to slightly enhance the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly.

"Ding~ Your beast, the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, has upgraded its Rare-level mental resistance talent to Legendary-level mental resistance!"

"Ding~ Your beast, the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, has improved its growth potential—from King-Rank Top-Grade to Emperor-Rank Low-Grade!"

Mental Resistance (Legendary-level): This beast gains massive immunity to mental-based skills and illusions!

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly was already a mental-type ferocious beast; with its Legendary-level mental resistance talent, it will now gain decisive advantage when fighting other mental-type ferocious beasts!

The Phantom Shadow Cat! Liu Mengyun's Repayment!

The day after reclaiming the Phantom Shadow Cat, after enjoying breakfast, Su Yang called Liu Mengyun over.

Liu Mengyun stood beside him, her face expressionless.

"About a month from now, on September 27, is my friend's birthday," he said, pulling out the rock golem juvenile, which had been sleeping in his space pouch. "He lives in Seven Stars City. I want you to deliver this gift to him!"

Liu Mengyun recognized the rock golem at a glance.

A Starlight-tier growth-potential pet beast, naturally possessing extremely sturdy defensive capabilities.

Rarely, Liu Mengyun asked an extra question: "Colonel, your friend… is he very important to you?"

"Childhood friend—we grew up together, extremely close!" Su Yang chuckled awkwardly. "Come to think of it, I've felt a bit guilty toward him. The rock golem was given to me by Mayor Jian Renhao during the Daxing City battle. The moment I received it, I wanted to give it to him—but back then, I was reluctant. It was worth several million quickcoins… so I kept putting it off. After coming to Wucheng City, I wanted to go back and deliver it, but never found the time. Now, I can only entrust it to you."

"People have selfishness," Liu Mengyun said succinctly. "During the Daxing City battle, Colonel, you were still a Bai Yin-tier Beast Tamer, right? You're from a commoner background—having selfishness is normal! If it were me, I'd be reluctant too. Better to sell it for money and boost my strength!"

Su Yang laughed: "Are you comforting me?"

But Liu Mengyun immediately changed the subject: "Actually, if you'd given it to him back then, you might have done him a disservice with good intentions."
