Chapter 63: Spirit-Linking Technique

Cang Luo was being utterly arrogant at this moment.

You wait for a cup of warm wine, I'll light a cigarette; let's see who's more arrogant!

Long Zhantian said impatiently, "Stop dawdling and make your move quickly!"

Cang Luo immediately replied, "What's the rush? Are you in a hurry to meet Kong Sheng?"

His words once again caused the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect to burst into laughter, while the side of the Kong Sheng Academy was filled with fury.

A smile played on Cang Luo's lips; he was not in a hurry to act, instead stepping back a few paces to create distance from Long Zhantian, then leaning his body forward slightly into a half-squat, supporting himself with his right palm on the ground, while secretly activating the Yuan Wheel to mobilize his Yuan Consciousness...

The disciples of both factions watching the battle saw Cang Luo make this move and all wore expressions of confusion, not knowing what Cang Luo intended to do; some disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect speculated that Cang Luo might be preparing some secret technique.

"Playing tricks! Are you preparing to prostrate yourself and beg for mercy?" Long Zhantian sneered disdainfully and urged him again.

Just then, everyone noticed that the right palm supporting Cang Luo's body suddenly erupted with silver light; next, starting from his right palm, the silver light transformed into threads of silver lines weaving together, forming ancient inscriptions and Eight Trigrams runes one by one.

Then, these ancient inscriptions and Eight Trigrams runes began to combine, gradually forming a circular formation.

Seeing this, the disciples of both factions present finally understood what Cang Luo was doing.

A disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect asked curiously, "Is this a beast pet summoning formation? Senior Brother Cang actually has a beast pet? Isn't his cultivation level Warrior Stage? How can a Warrior Stage cultivator tame a beast pet?"

"It really is a beast pet summoning formation; no wonder he dares to challenge a Warrior Stage 9... But, doesn't he know that warriors of Warrior Stage cultivation are unsuitable for taming beast pets?"

"It is common knowledge across the entire continent that warriors of Warrior Stage cultivation are unsuitable for taming beast pets because warriors at the Warrior Stage have too little Yuan Power reserve.

Even with Warrior Stage 9 cultivation, their Yuan Power is barely enough to summon a beast pet once or twice, after which the Yuan Power is almost completely exhausted, leaving them powerless to continue fighting."

"Hmm, Senior Brother Cang will definitely be unable to fight after summoning his beast pet; he can only rely on the beast pet. Could his beast pet be some rare demon beast? Or even a high-grade demon beast?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Cang might have tamed a rare demon beast; if that's the case, it would be worth it.

By the way, why did Senior Brother Cang assume this posture to summon his beast pet? Have you noticed that this beast pet summoning posture is extremely cool?"

"..."

Seeing Xuan Qingqing frowned tightly; at this moment, she somewhat blamed herself for having told Cang Luo about beast pets back then, causing him to be obsessed with them.

She had clearly told him that the vast majority of warriors can only tame one beast pet in their lifetime, so one must be extremely cautious and wait until one's cultivation is higher before taming one; the higher one's own cultivation, the more powerful the beast pet one can tame.

One should at least wait until one's cultivation reaches the Martial General level before taming a beast pet, yet he, now, having only Warrior Stage cultivation, has chosen to tame a beast pet.

"Sigh!" Seeing Xuan Qingqing sighed, feeling that Cang Luo was being ungrateful.

Li Haoran said hypocritically, "It's a pity for Junior Brother Cang; one wrong step and the whole game is lost. A beast pet is a great aid for a warrior; he will understand the importance of beast pets later."

Liu Xuande and Gan Lei and others also wore expressions of regret, believing that taming a beast pet at this moment was unwise for Cang Luo.

Taming a beast pet now can only provide strength for a short time, because a first-grade demon beast has no potential to speak of, cannot accompany its master for life, and will be eliminated soon.

Zhao Renwu and Zhao Renli sneered repeatedly; they saw another fatal flaw in Cang Luo.

So what if your strength is greater than ours now?

When we reach the Martial General level, or even the Wu Shi level, we can tame second-grade or third-grade demon beasts, while you will have only a first-grade demon beast.

On the opposite side, the group from the Kong Sheng Academy burst into loud laughter, saying that Cang Luo was killing the goose to get the golden egg, and criticizing the Profound Heaven Sect for poor disciple training.

Long Zhantian mocked, "I thought you had some trump card or technique, but it turns out you are summoning a beast pet to assist in battle.

It's truly foolishly cute; even if you still have Yuan Power after summoning your beast pet to fight alongside it, I am not afraid of fighting two opponents; come on."

Cang Luo ignored everyone's discussion, feeling both helplessness and a cold sneer in his heart.

Who doesn't know that first-grade demon beasts have very low combat power and intelligence? Who doesn't know that taming a beast pet at Warrior Stage cultivation is an unwise choice?

But do I have any choice?

It has been less than a month since I transmigrated, yet I was already targeted, experiencing two life-or-death battles; the mastermind behind it all, Ouyang Lie, is still a powerful expert at the peak of Martial General Stage 9, and I don't know when he will come knocking.

Facing the constant threat of death, who the hell waits until the Martial General level? Or even the Wu Shi level to tame a beast pet?

Besides, although the Fire-Devouring Wolf is a first-grade demon beast, mine is a mutated one, and with the ability to share my infinite Yuan Power, its combat power is comparable to a second-grade demon beast.

Cang Luo was already very satisfied with this.

At this moment, the beast pet summoning formation fully manifested; a circular formation emitting a silvery-white light adhered to the ground, slowly rotating in front of Cang Luo.

Seeing this, Cang Luo immediately shouted loudly, "Spirit-Linking Technique!"

As soon as the words fell, ripples spread across the surface of the beast pet summoning formation adhering to the ground; next, a two-headed Fire-Devouring Wolf suddenly burst out from the formation, standing beside Cang Luo.

It was the two-headed Fire-Devouring Wolf, Erha!

And Cang Luo's loud shout of 'Spirit-Linking Technique' just now, along with the prostrate posture of the summoning formation, was learned from the summoning posture of the Summoning Technique beasts in Naruto; of course, it was cool.

"Awooo! Awooo..."

The mutated Fire-Devouring Wolf, Erha, let out a howl in turn with its one blue and one silver wolf heads; the wolf howl echoed through heaven and earth, drifting over the Outer Sect Martial Arts Training Ground, gradually fading away, and the formation dissipated with it.

After the howl, Erha rubbed against Cang Luo's thigh to show its loyalty; then, it immediately glared at Long Zhantian, baring its teeth and snarling, wishing to rush up and tear him apart, bite him to pieces, and burn him to ashes right now.

Cang Luo patted Erha's two wolf heads to calm it down, then pretended to be exhausted of Yuan Power, sitting on the ground to circulate his mental technique to recover his Yuan Power, a triumphant smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect on the sidelines exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a top-grade first-grade demon beast, the Fire-Devouring Wolf, and it's a mutated Fire-Devouring Wolf with two heads."

"The Fire-Devouring Wolf is one of the few first-grade demon beasts capable of ranged attacks; among first-grade demon beasts, it is almost an invincible existence.

This one is mutated, so its strength should not be inferior to a second-grade demon beast; no wonder Senior Brother Cang chose to tame a beast pet now."

"By the way, what does that 'Spirit-Linking Technique' Senior Brother Cang shouted mean? It gives a feeling of extraordinary momentum and full of power?"

Wang Fuhai said excitedly, "The Fire-Devouring Wolf can spit fire; it can fight without engaging in close combat, making it simply the nemesis of warriors. Even if Brother Cang sits there without acting, he can still win."

After hearing Wang Fuhai's analysis, Gan Lei and others stopped worrying about Cang Luo's decision to tame a beast pet now; as long as he wins, it's fine, and they all began to cheer for him.

On the side, Seeing Xuan Qingqing looked at the triumphant Cang Luo, then at the excited Gan Lei and others, and silently shook her head, saying, "A first-grade demon beast is always a first-grade demon beast; even if it can fight a second-grade demon beast now, what about the future?

When the master's cultivation reaches the Martial Spirit level, the combat power of a second-grade demon beast can barely reach the strength of a fourth-grade demon beast.

But a first-grade demon beast, reaching the strength of a third-grade demon beast would already be good."

Li Haoran nodded, saying, "The growth ceiling of a first-grade demon beast cannot compare to that of a second-grade demon beast; this is determined by bloodline and is almost unchangeable; this is also the reason why predecessors classified the Fire-Devouring Wolf as a first-grade demon beast."

Seeing Xuan Qingqing nodded, said no more, and thought to herself that after the martial arts competition, she would try to find a way to help Junior Brother Cang, to help improve his strength.

Previously, she had thought about getting some slightly higher-grade techniques and pills for Cang Luo to help him cultivate, but she was stopped by his sect master father.

They claimed Earthlings have weak constitutions and cannot take those pills; at best, their bodies cannot withstand the medicinal power and suffer severe injury, at worst, they explode and die.

In reality, Xuan Qiankun and Xuan Hong wanted to see how far Earthlings could cultivate without any external aid; taking pills would be a matter for later.

They treated Cang Luo as a guinea pig to judge the cultivation talent of Earthlings...
