Chapter 701: And he said there was no secret? Isn't this a secret?

Marshal Xu actually broke through!

The high-level Federation officials were instantly in an uproar!

Marshal Xu was younger than Mo Mo Yunjian, and back in the day, he was also a proud son of heaven.

After joining the military, he achieved brilliant battle merits on the battlefield, and eventually, through his merits and personal charisma, he became the supreme commander of the Federation step by step.

Most high-level Federation officials believed he was more suitable to serve as Marshal than Mo Mo Yunjian.

However, after he became Marshal, because of his busy work, he rarely took action.

As the supreme leader of the Federation, Marshal Xu naturally had abundant cultivation resources.

But many high-level Federation officials knew that Marshal Xu had reached a bottleneck at the peak of the King-tier, and his two best main battle pet beasts had failed to break through for a long time, having been stuck for over twenty years.

Is being stuck for over twenty years normal?

Of course it's normal!

Many King-tier peak beastmasters die without ever breaking through.

Many of them have Emperor-tier potential pet beasts in their hands!

Yet they still died!

Because Emperor-tier potential pet beasts are extremely rare and very difficult to tame; they are easiest to tame before they have even hatched.

After taming them, cultivating an Emperor-tier pet beast also requires consuming massive amounts of resources.

Moreover, the growth speed of Emperor-tier potential pet beasts is much slower than that of low-potential pet beasts.

Signing a contract with an Emperor-tier potential pet beast does not mean they will definitely be able to break through to the Emperor-tier.

Even if they can break through to the Emperor-tier, beastmasters might not be able to afford the wait!

After all, for the vast majority of genius beastmasters, their first pet beast is basically not an Emperor-tier potential pet beast, but a Platinum-tier pet beast... Only Golden-tier genius beastmasters with excellent family backgrounds will try to sign a contract with an Emperor-tier potential ferocious beast egg with the help of their elders.

The fact that the Void Spirit fell into Su Yang's hands is for this very reason.

When Qin Qin Pengcheng obtained the Void Spirit, he was already quite old, and he had such concerns.

Concerns about whether he could tame the Void Spirit, concerns about whether his lifespan was sufficient to cultivate the Void Spirit to the Emperor-tier...

After all, a ferocious beast can only accept one contract in its lifetime.

If it rebels, or if it isn't cultivated well, or if its talent is damaged, a pet beast with extraordinary potential is completely wasted.

A high-level Federation official asked, "Marshal Xu, is this luck?"

"I don't know, but it should be related to luck!" Marshal Xu said. "My Giant Rock Dragon Beast had Emperor-tier growth potential, but because of long-term over-capacity combat in the past and having suffered heavy injuries multiple times, its growth potential may have been damaged. Over these years, I have consumed a massive amount of resources, yet I never saw it successfully break through to the Emperor-tier. I didn't expect it to break through for no reason yesterday... Aside from attributing it to luck, I can't think of any other explanation!"

A pet beast's growth potential can also be damaged.

Long-term over-capacity combat or suffering heavy injuries can both affect its growth potential.

This is overdrawing!

Just like people!

Long-term over-capacity fatigue or suffering severe injuries, even after recovery, will weaken one's physical health and lifespan.

The older generation, especially military beastmasters, have pet beasts that mostly have this situation.

Not only their pet beasts, but many of the beastmasters themselves do not live to their maximum lifespan.

Many military King-tier beastmasters over the age of one hundred will slowly feel themselves aging.

But after research by the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, they discovered that a King-tier beastmaster over one hundred years old is actually in their prime!

Because a King-tier ferocious beast over one hundred years old in the wild is in its prime.

"And General Su said he had no secret!"

"If this isn't a secret, what is? It directly let Marshal Xu break through!"

"That pet beast is definitely a God-tier potential pet beast!"

"Yes, it is indeed the legendary Fate-type!"

"No, I have to go find General Su, find General Xia, and let her make me lucky again. Maybe I can also break through to the King-tier Upper Grade!"

"Yes, let's go find General Su!"

"Find General Xia!"

"..."

The high-level Huaxia Federation officials rushed directly toward the guesthouse where Su Yang was staying.

They were all high-level Federation officials, the heads of all the major departments of the Huaxia Federation.

Aside from Marshal Xu, truly no one could manage them!

As long as Marshal Xu didn't speak, skipping work for half a day was like child's play.

Marshal Xu wanted to call them back and tell them to calm down.

But thinking about his own recent breakthrough to the Emperor-tier, which had likely driven these old guys crazy, he didn't have the heart to stop them.

There is no beastmaster who doesn't want to break through!

The stronger the beastmaster, the more intense their desire for a breakthrough!

Because the vast majority of these high-level officials had long been stuck in a bottleneck and had been trapped for a long time.

Even for a tiny bit of hope, they didn't want to give up.

"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Su Yang lay on the bed, half-hugging Liu Liu Mengyun as he rolled over, asking groggily.

"I don't know!"

Liu Liu Mengyun rubbed her eyes and muttered.

To deal with the Great Sea Tide, Su Yang and the other three women had been fighting in the coastal areas for nearly two months; even people made of iron would be exhausted.

After returning to Shengjing, for the past few days, they had either been taking walks or lounging around during the day, and they had been waking up very late in the mornings.

"I'm going to complain to Marshal Xu. The people at the guesthouse are completely irresponsible... they can't even maintain basic quiet!"

Liu Liu Mengyun slowly opened her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then got up lightly and put on her clothes.

"You sleep a little longer! I'll go out and take a look!"

She opened the door and saw a group of high-level Federation officials standing in the third-floor corridor of the guesthouse.

The person in charge of the guesthouse, along with other staff, were trembling as they accompanied them with smiles, some with cold sweat seeping from their foreheads.

Clearly, they had never seen such a large formation.

The Federation bigwigs had actually all appeared at the guesthouse!

As soon as the high-level Federation officials saw Liu Liu Mengyun, who was still somewhat sleepy-eyed, they immediately greeted her enthusiastically.

"General Liu!"

"Good day, General Liu!"

"..."

Liu Liu Mengyun frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is going on with you all?"

To say she wasn't puzzled would be impossible.

Even after learning she had become an Emperor-tier beastmaster, these high-level officials hadn't been this enthusiastic toward her yesterday...

Tian Lao asked in a low voice, "General Liu, has General Su woken up yet?"

"He's still sleeping!" Liu Liu Mengyun asked, "Do you need me to wake him up?"

"No need, no need!" Tian Lao said hurriedly. "I wonder if we could invite General Xia to come out so we can see her."

These high-level Federation officials had rushed to the guesthouse in high spirits, wanting to ask Xia Na to make them "lucky" again!

But after arriving at the guesthouse, they had calmed down slightly.

They were the ones asking for a favor.

Moreover, Xia Na was Su Yang's person and was herself an Emperor-tier beastmaster; if they made her unhappy, the hope of a breakthrough might disappear...

So, after learning from the person in charge of the guesthouse that Su Yang and the others might not have woken up yet, they stood in the corridor and hesitated...

"You want to see Xia Na? What for?"

Liu Liu Mengyun understood immediately.

These high-level officials wanting to see Su Yang was fake; wanting to see Xia Na was the truth.
