Chapter 633: Tempting the Three-Tailed

In the dim space, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's blood-red beast pupils stared fixedly at Li Luo before it. The two conditions the latter had just uttered caused even a violent creature like itself to fall silent for a moment.

Because those conditions were simply too generous.

Acknowledge a master for one year, and not only would this human boy return its freedom, he would also help it break through to the Marquis Realm?!

In this world, there was actually such a good deal?

One year's time, for a spirit beast with a long lifespan, was merely the snap of a finger. In the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's perception, this deal was so worthwhile it could make a beast weep.

Setting aside how precious freedom was, just the condition of helping it break through to the Marquis Realm alone made its heart pound.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the current Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf was already at the peak of the Heavenly Gang General rank, comparable to a top-tier Da Tian Xiang Jing of the human race. Strictly speaking, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf already possessed the qualification to charge into the Marquis Realm, so it was several degrees stronger than an ordinary peak Da Tian Xiang Jing.

But this so-called peak of the Heavenly Gang General rank had been troubling the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf for many years now.

It had stopped here, always finding it difficult to break through that layer of shackles.

Yet now, the human boy before it actually said he could help it break through this layer of shackles?

What utter audacity!

A suppressed low growl emerged from between the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's sharp fangs, but strangely, in the face of such unbelievable words, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf did not immediately feel that sense of being humiliated. It merely stared at Li Luo with a hint of doubt in its eyes.

Clearly, although Li Luo's strength was still inferior to the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's, the Three Phases he had previously revealed ultimately caused the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf to restrain some of its contempt.

Meeting the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's gaze filled with doubt, Li Luo's expression was rather calm as he said, "You think I can't do it?"

A puff of fishy breath shot out from between the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's fangs, making no attempt to deny its suspicion of Li Luo.

"It seems I need to broaden the horizons of this country bumpkin wolf who hasn't seen much of the world," Li Luo said with a faint smile.

Hearing the slight contempt in Li Luo's words, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf immediately grew somewhat angry. A mere little human boy at the Evil Palace Realm, how dare he look down on it, a great spirit beast at the peak of the Heavenly Gang General rank?! If not for these seals, with one swipe of its claw right now, this boy would instantly be reduced to a pile of mush.

Li Luo, however, paid no heed to the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's anger, and continued, "You little spirit beast are completely unaware of the background behind me, but I can't blame you for it, since you've been trapped in that dark cavern all year round... I can only tell you that the background behind me is something even that King Realm powerhouse you've seen before is extremely wary of and fears. He previously had a request of me, precisely for this reason."

As he spoke, his face didn't flush, his heart didn't skip a beat, performing his thick-skinned and big-hearted nature to the fullest.

The Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's heart was also somewhat shaken. That King Realm powerhouse whom it didn't even dare to harbor hatred toward, actually feared the background behind this boy?

What level of background was that?

"Now I am far from my homeland, and due to certain reasons, I am greatly restricted in every aspect, which is why I am negotiating with you. To put it bluntly, once I return to my homeland one day, a spirit beast like you that has never reached the Marquis Realm probably wouldn't even have the qualification to follow me." Li Luo said calmly, speaking slowly.

The Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf bared its fanged maw, its blood-red beast pupils staring at Li Luo with a sinister glint. Was this boy simply spouting lies, or did he truly possess such a terrifying background?

From a rational standpoint, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf felt this boy was just bragging, yet the existence of the Three Phases and the previous act of that King Realm powerhouse sealing it and gifting it to him made it feel an inexplicable unease about this.

"You don't need to feel angry because of this, because sometimes the truth is just that cruel."

Li Luo said lightly, then suddenly extended his palm. A drop of essence blood could be seen slowly rising from it, and then this drop of essence blood floated directly toward the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf.

The Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf stared at this drop of essence blood floating before it. It keenly sensed that within this unassuming drop of essence blood, there seemed to be a certain aura that made it feel extreme fear, a level of fear even greater than when facing that King Realm powerhouse!

This made the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's heart tremble, while at the same time an endless craving for this drop of essence blood arose within it. Its crimson tongue licked the corner of its mouth, its gaze flickered to Li Luo once more, and upon seeing that the other party did not stop its action, it curled its tongue and swallowed this drop of essence blood.

Boom!

The moment that drop of essence blood entered its belly, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's massive body immediately began to tremble violently. At this moment, it felt a terrifying pressure emanating from within its body. In its mind, the sound of a dragon's roar echoed, and a mysterious and vast pressure descended, as if piercing through time and space.

That pressure was actually not all that intense. If it were a human, they probably wouldn't feel it too clearly, but the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf was extremely sensitive to it. To it, that pressure was like an innate bloodline crushing, an absolute suppression of a superior over an inferior!

Thus, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf immediately dropped to its knees.

Its blood-red beast pupils carried a human-like expression of horror, staring dumbly at the Li Luo before it.

At this moment, it believed the words Li Luo had just spoken.

To possess such a terrifying pressure in one's bloodline, this unassuming human boy before it must surely possess an extremely terrifying background.

Such a background causing a King Realm powerhouse to be wary was not an impossible thing.

If this boy truly had such a terrifying background, relying on him in the future, it might really be possible to break through that layer of shackles and step into the Marquis Realm.

The fierce, baleful aura emanating from the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's body unknowingly weakened considerably at this moment. Its mind turned, and then it transmitted a thought toward Li Luo.

"How can I trust you?"

This human boy looked extremely cunning. What if, after one year, this boy didn't release it and didn't fulfill his promise? Wouldn't it be working for nothing?

A brilliant smile surfaced on Li Luo's face. He knew that the extremely ferocious Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf had been tempted at this moment.

But that was normal. Under the double honey of regaining freedom and breaking through to the Marquis Realm, Li Luo believed that no human or beast could resist such a temptation.

"I can swear an oath on my bloodline. Although I don't know if this will work, I think you may not have many choices." Li Luo raised his palm and said with a genial expression.

The Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's blood pupils stared at Li Luo for a long while, and finally slowly fell silent. Just as Li Luo had said, it didn't have many choices either. If it didn't agree to what Li Luo said, then perhaps it would stay in this dark, sunless seal forever.

A seal set by a King Realm powerhouse was not something a spirit beast that had yet to step into the Marquis Realm could break.

Since it was already a dead end, it might as well take a gamble.

If this human boy truly had such a background, temporarily submitting to him was actually not unacceptable.

Thinking this way, it continued to lie prone. This gesture undoubtedly meant it had chosen to acquiesce to the conditions Li Luo offered.

Seeing this scene, Li Luo's heart surged with joy like a tide. The Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's yielding was easier than he had imagined. It seemed the Three Phases and his so-called background had still brought it a tremendous shock.

This Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf was the top combat power below the Marquis Realm, and even possessed the qualification and potential to charge into the Marquis Realm. Although with the help of Tian Ji Zhou, he could borrow the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's power, no method was better than the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf willingly providing it.

If he weren't worried that the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's strength was far greater than his own and that he couldn't control it yet, he would even want to release it directly, thus gaining an extra top-tier combat partner out of thin air.

No anti-theft

"Little Three, from now on we're comrades."

Li Luo walked up enthusiastically, patted the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's thick, sharp claw, and said with a beaming smile, "Why don't you call me boss first to let me hear it? Following me, will you lack good food and drink in the future? As long as you're loyal to me, what is the Marquis Realm? In the future, you might just become the legendary Heavenly Wolf King!"

However, in response to Li Luo's self-praise, the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Its blood pupils glanced at him indifferently, and then slowly closed.

If you want me to sincerely acknowledge a master, wait until you're stronger than me.

For now, it's just to put on a show of cooperation with you for the sake of freedom and future benefits.

Foolish boy.
