Chapter 175: You're Finally Tamed By Me
Elder Yun also noticed that Su Zhan's hands were moving in the air, depicting peculiar beast-taming runes with his spiritual energy, which hung in the air. Those runes were very basic in nature, and although they had beast-taming functions, their effectiveness diminished with more powerful beasts.
Wanting to tame a formidable monster like the Thunder Lion with this rudimentary beast-taming technique was simply wishful thinking!
Elder Yun shook his head repeatedly with a smile, thinking that he was being over cautious and Su Zhan was indeed just a fool.
However, his smile quickly faded.
His eyes widened slightly as he watched Su Zhan inject those runes into the Thunder Lion's body. Surprisingly, the Thunder Lion's speed actually slowed down a bit. A sense of unease began to grow in his heart.
Feng Xu's smile froze as well. He questioned in disbelief, "His beast-taming technique can really affect the Thunder Lion? This shouldn't be possible, right?"
"I'm not sure either, but the Thunder Lion shouldn't be tamed by such a basic beast-taming technique. Perhaps it's just a temporary influence that will soon dissipate," Elder Yun responded.
"That makes sense."
Feng Xu breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "If a basic beast-taming technique could really tame the Thunder Lion, why would we bother learning advanced ones? At most, within ten seconds, the Thunder Lion will dispel the effects of his beast-taming technique, then bite this kid… Oh my god!"
Feng Xu hadn't even finished speaking when he suddenly witnessed an unbelievable scene. His eyes widened in shock, and he even blurted out a curse due to his astonishment.
"The Thunder Lion! The Thunder Lion actually knelt down before this kid???"
Elder Yun was also utterly confused at this moment.
The Thunder Lion, a creature of immense strength, even surpassing most Half-Saints, was actually kneeling before Su Zhan?
Had it been tamed?
But here's the issue.
A sword cultivator, using a basic beast-taming technique, tamed the Thunder Lion…
What the hell!
Could this get any more absurd???
Not just the two elders of the Beast-Taming Mountain, the disciples were also incredibly shocked.
Of course, the most bewildered of all was the Thunder Lion itself. At this moment, the Thunder Lion's eyes were wide with puzzlement.
It had been charging forward just fine. How did it suddenly start feeling favorably toward this detestable human in front of it?
That alone could be shrugged off! One could argue that maybe he had an attractive appearance, and since the Thunder Lion was female, it might have been attracted to him.
But then, an inexplicable urge to submit surged within it. What in the world was happening?
And after it had struggled to overcome these emotions and was ready to pounce on Su Zhan to tear him apart, Su Zhan somehow used those basic beast-taming runes that it had previously ignored to make it feel an intrinsic fear, causing it to kneel before him!
Weren't basic beast-taming runes practically ineffective? Why was there such a huge difference between Su Zhan's basic beast-taming technique and everyone else's? Could someone please tell me what's going on???
The Thunder Lion felt a sense of humiliation welling up inside, but under the effects of those beast-taming runes, it found itself lacking the courage to resist.
Su Zhan was also somewhat astonished at this point.
He hadn't expected the Beast Taming Halo to be so effective. He had actually tamed a Half-Saint level beast using basic beast-taming techniques!
His gaze fell upon the Thunder Lion, and a faint smile crept onto his face.
"Not bad, a Thunder-attribute Half-Saint level monster. It should be quite fast. I'm planning to take a journey, and it's too tiring to control my sword with physical and spiritual energy, not to mention the mental effort. So, I'll ride you!"
Ride me?
The Thunder Lion felt an even greater sense of shame and extreme anger.
Within the entire Beast-Taming Mountain, only the Saint Patriarch was allowed to ride it. Even the Sect Master of the Beast-Taming Mountain didn't dare. And now, this person wanted to ride it for a journey?
Treating a dignified Half-Saint level monster as a means of transportation?
How despicable! Too despicable!!!
It looked back at Elder Yun with a glare.
Elder Yun immediately understood and activated the beast-controlling token he held. The powerful beast-taming runes that had been implanted within the Thunder Lion appeared, dispersing Su Zhan's runes.
The Thunder Lion let out a furious roar, its fur standing on end.
A surge of immensely angry mental communication came forth: "Damn human! I'll tear you into a thousand pieces!"
"Hmm? Beast-taming failed?!"
As he watched the Thunder Lion charging back towards him, Su Zhan felt somewhat disappointed and silently deactivated the Beast Taming Halo.
Since basic beast-taming techniques weren't effective, he decided to use a different method of beast-taming!
With this thought in mind, his body emitted dazzling starlight. Without dodging or evading, he charged directly at the Thunder Lion, which was over a hundred times larger than him.
"Is this kid trying to clash head-on with the Thunder Lion?"
"Has he gone crazy?"
Elder Yun and Elder Feng were both taken aback.
However, soon enough, Elder Feng burst into hearty laughter. "Although we don't know what method this kid used to nearly tame the Thunder Lion, now that he has failed, he can only wait—"
He stopped mid-sentence.
Looking at the Thunder Lion that Su Zhan had punched down to the ground, the rest of Elder Feng's words caught in his throat.
"I'm going to tame you! Will you submit? Will you submit?!"
Su Zhan grabbed one of the Thunder Lion's legs with both hands, his terrifying physical strength erupting as he flung it away, slamming it onto the ground like a sack of potatoes!
Then, while the Thunder Lion was still visibly dazed, struggling to make sense of its surroundings, Su Zhan landed on its head and pummeled it with a barrage of punches, raining blows onto its face like a downpour.
"Will you submit?! Will you submit?!"
Covered in blood, with parts of its face swollen like buns, the Thunder Lion was in utter horror: "I submit!"
"Will you submit?!"
"I submit!"
"Will you submit?!"
"I already said I submit, okay?!"
"Will you submit?!"
Thunder Lion: "… For f***'s sake, will you stop asking if I submit?!"
Su Zhan's gaze sharpened: "I didn't expect you to be so tenacious. Very well, I'll give you another hundred punches!"
The punches continued to rain down.
The Thunder Lion let out successive cries of agony. In its heart, it cursed Su Zhan's ancestors for eight generations.
You son of a b****! I said I submit, I submit! Can't you hear me?!
And another hundred punches? Aren't you trying to kill me?!
Terrified beyond measure, the Thunder Lion struggled desperately, simultaneously growling and sending out desperate pleas for mercy through its mental communication.
"I submit, I really submit!"
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"
"You… You're truly wise and valiant!"
…
Streams of humiliating and pleading mental messages were sent out, and the Thunder Lion was on the verge of collapse.
At the twenty-first punch, Su Zhan stopped.
Although he had restrained his strength somewhat to avoid killing the Thunder Lion, continuing further might affect his own riding experience. It just wasn't worth it.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Su Zhan let out a sigh of relief. "You're finally tamed by me!"
"I…"
Tears of humiliation welled up in the Thunder Lion's eyes.
Tamed?
For f***'s sake, you nearly beat me to death. How can I not submit???
If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have let you tame me with your beast-taming technique!
Feeling blood dripping down its face and its head still spinning, its teeth having been knocked out, the Thunder Lion felt utterly miserable. It looked at Su Zhan, its body trembling with fear.
Now that it thought about it, Su Zhan, who used the beast-taming technique, was truly too gentle…
