Chapter 798

It didn't look like a joke at all.

"Forget it!" Su Yang waved his hand. "I don't want to compete with them—it's outright bullying. Let's hold a selection contest instead, to choose suitable young talents from Dajiao City's young beast-tamers!"

Liu Mengyun said with a hint of regret: "Alright then."

"My Void Wandering Spirit can now perform long-distance teleportation. I'll probably go out frequently to hunt ferocious beasts, but as long as nothing goes wrong, I'll come back every day to sleep!" Su Yang rubbed his bandaged face, growing frantic. "The southeast is too hot—these bandages are unbearable. I need to recover quickly and take them off."

"How far can it teleport at once?"

"A thousand kilometers or so!" Su Yang thought for a moment and replied. "A bit farther, and I'd need to teleport in stages, but that's not a big problem."

"Fine," Liu Mengyun nodded. "But remember to tell me before you leave each time, my lord."

"Then I'm going out to explore today!"

"Go ahead!"

Back in his office, Su Yang summoned his Void Wandering Spirit.

"Void Wandering Spirit, let's go!" He looked toward the door of his office. "We can't let Deputy Liu look down on us—she's already at the King's level, and we're still stuck at Star-Shine Top-Grade."

"Ding~ Task released: Upgrade the Earthquake Bear to Star-Shine Top-Grade and restore your appearance!"

"Ding~ Task reward: Your designated pet gains one new skill!"

Su Yang stared at the system task for a moment. "Why isn't the task to upgrade to King's level?"

"Perhaps the host cares more about his appearance."

"You're lying—I'm not the kind of person who cares about looks!"

System: "..."

The Void Wandering Spirit enveloped Su Yang, and he vanished instantly from the office.

When he opened his eyes again, Su Yang stood in a wasteland.

During the Void Wandering Spirit's spatial transit, Su Yang saw nothing.

But the Void Wandering Spirit told him that the void in its vision was colorful.

Su Yang could understand that.

After all, the Void Wandering Spirit and the Earthquake Bear had different attributes and abilities.

This wasteland was near the area where Su Yang had hunted last time.

After over a month of practice, the Void Wandering Spirit had fully mastered Void Walking.

It delivered Su Yang to his destination in one go.

In the distance, a rumbling explosion echoed.

Something seemed to be happening.

It looked like a battle had broken out.

Su Yang's eyes lit up, and he released the Storm Eagle.

He leapt onto the Storm Eagle's back and flew straight toward the sound.

Not long after taking off, Su Yang saw two King-level ferocious beasts fighting.

One was a massive, gray-white Shanling Giant.

It stood upright on two legs, its height surpassing the surrounding Gaoshan peaks.

The other was a Black Obsidian Giant Snake.

The Black Obsidian Giant Snake was pitch black as ink, as if forged from black obsidian.

Its body was thicker than the waist of the Shanling Giant.

The two King-level beasts had clearly been fighting for some time—several nearby Gaoshan peaks had been flattened.

When Su Yang spotted them, the Black Obsidian Giant Snake had already coiled its thick body tightly around the Shanling Giant.

The Shanling Giant gripped the snake's body with both hands, trying to break free.

Realizing escape was impossible, the Shanling Giant dragged the Black Obsidian Giant Snake and slammed into a nearby Shanfeng.

Su Yang could tell this battle had become a stalemate.

Both King-level beasts were tanky, defense-heavy brutes with weak offense.

Neither had the power to kill the other—it was painfully awkward!

He guessed the fight would last until one side collapsed from exhaustion.

Su Yang, ever the helpful one, decided to lend them a hand and end this boring battle sooner.

At that moment, the Storm Eagle alerted Su Yang to a group lying in wait among the trees on a mountainside below.

The beast-tamers looked utterly unremarkable.

But the Storm Eagle told him someone among them had used a small-area illusion spell to conceal their form.

From the bushes, a small female voice asked: "Captain, let's just leave! The Shanling Giant and Black Obsidian Giant Snake are too strong!"

"Wait a little longer!" the mercenary captain whispered, lowering his voice. "The Shanling Giant and Black Obsidian Giant Snake are probably evenly matched. Maybe they'll both be badly wounded soon—and then we can pick up the scraps... King-level ferocious beasts! Even just their corpses could make us rich beyond measure!"

The small female voice continued: "But Captain, what if the Shanling Giant or Black Obsidian Giant Snake run this way?"

"Xia Na, shut your damn crow's mouth! Every time you speak, disaster follows—I'd cut out your tongue if I could!" the mercenary captain cursed. "If it weren't for you being a beast-tamer, I'd have kicked you out of the team long ago!"
