Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1296: 1300 Suppressing Beast

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1300 Suppressing Beast

Counting the days, there is still some time before the Sword Spirit Dragon’s turn for duty.

It’s a good opportunity to train the fighting experience of the Nine-tailed Dragon and Chongwang Dragon during this period.

No matter their current stage of growth, their psychological age is still that of a dragon baby under one year old.

The Nine-tailed Dragon is intelligent and perceptive, yet it lacks combat trials and experience.

And as for the Chongwang Dragon, there’s no need to say much – it’s a simpleton. As long as someone dares to bare their teeth at it, it’s determined to fight them to the death, with an incredibly bad temper and the Death Spirit Dragon fears nothing!

Fortunately, the Southern Heavenly Palace has many Suppressing Beasts. These beasts are unruly and without contracts, and disciples are required periodically to tamp down their wild nature.

Zhu Minglang chose the task of subduing the beasts’ wildness for his weekly duties in the Inner Gate.

These Suppressing Beasts are quite powerful. If we combine Bi Luo Island with the nearby islands and Sect territories, there are at least forty to fifty Suppressing Beasts. Taking turns to challenge them will probably take about one or two months.

The Suppressing Beasts are roughly divided into ranks: Zhenmen Beasts, Zhendao Beasts, Zhenzong Beasts, Zhendi Beasts, and Zhentian Beasts.

Bi Luo Island has one Zhentian Beast, six Zhendi Beasts, and a number of Zhenzong and Zhendao Beasts…

Some of these Suppressing Beasts are also in a stage where they are slowly being offered sacrifices and tamed. They have basically started from a young age within the Immortal Sect and do not have much malice towards humans, but they are still very dangerous and ferocious. If provoked, they can pose a lethal threat.

For a level like Zhentian Beast, they are essentially the guardians of the entire Immortal Sect. The Sword Spirit Dragon can give it a try, or a fully mature Little Gluttonous Dragon could spar with them. As for the Nine-tailed Dragon and Chongwang Dragon… better not.

The most numerous among Zhenmen Beasts is the God Dragon Son, of course, young beasts excluded.

Zhu Minglang can now only let the Nine-tailed Dragon and Chongwang Dragon challenge the Zhendao Beasts.

However, even with a modest approach, Zhu Minglang still underestimated the foundation of the Southern Heavenly Gate. Not to mention the Zhendao Beasts—even among Zhenmen Beasts there were some extraordinarily fierce and violent ones. The Chongwang Dragon was no match at all, and surprisingly, the Nine-tailed Dragon’s combat power was also between that of Zhenmen Beasts and Zhendao Beasts!

“Zhu Lang, your weekly duties have been poorly completed. The officials from the mentorship department are going to deduct half of your next month’s salary,” said a senior deacon to Zhu Minglang.

“I was a bit unaccustomed at the beginning, but it’ll get better later on.”

“Subduing beasts is generally a task for experienced Inner Sect Disciples, after all, there is danger involved. You’ve just entered the Inner Gate, it would be better to pick some simpler and easier tasks to complete, lest you leave a bad impression on the mentorship officials and supervisors. Moreover, all these incidents are on record, and they will also affect your future direct lineage mentors,” said the senior deacon, Song Hao.

“I understand, thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother,” Zhu Minglang smiled and gave a bow.

This senior deacon Song Hao was completely opposite to Elder Hu; from when Zhu Minglang first entered the Inner Gate, he took great care of him.

“Alright, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask your Senior Brother. You are one of the youngest disciples in the Inner Gate, so if someone bullies you, you can also tell Senior Brother Song Hao,” said Song Hao.

“Okay!” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“I will speak on your behalf, to see if they can waive your penalty salary.”

“Thank you so much!” Zhu Minglang expressed his gratitude again.

…

Throughout the month, Zhu Minglang had visited all the Suppressing Beasts on Bi Luo Island, knowing well which were tame, which were ferocious, and which were in mating season.

Recently, Little Jiuwei’s confidence was shaken, and he couldn’t muster much spirit.

He couldn’t defeat any of the Zhendao Beasts.

Although the Chongwang Dragon also faced defeat time after time, it didn’t seem to feel any sense of failure and was still as cheerful as a brainless little lion every day.

Gluttonous Dragon, apart from crying out in hunger, snores deafeningly in the Spirit Realm.

“Young Master, is it only twenty Liuli this month?” Little Maid Xiao Xiao took the money, with a hint of confusion and resentment in her leaf-shaped eyes.

“We didn’t complete last month’s task assigned by the Immortal Sect properly, but next month should be better,” Zhu Minglang awkwardly explained.

“Then… shall I sell some Spirit Grass?” Xiao Xiao suggested.

“That works.”

The Spirit Grass grown by Xiao Xiao can be sold; one plant could fetch one-tenth of a Liuli, and it’s quite popular among the Outer Sect Disciples.

“If Young Master goes out and happens to see the Sea Spring Spirit Eye, could you please collect some Sea Spring water for me? Last month there wasn’t enough rain, which might affect the ripening of the Little Jiuwei Dragon’s Fairy Pear, and we don’t have the money to buy it…” Little Maid Xiao Xiao said.

“Oh, okay, I’ve got it,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Young Master, I recently heard an interesting piece of news, it’s a commission that pays well. I was wondering if you might be interested in taking a look?” Little Maid Xiao Xiao continued.

Zhu Minglang raised an eyebrow, not expecting this capable little maid to actively seek out work for her master.

Having less money indeed affects development.

Both the Nine-tailed Dragon and the Chongwang Dragon were not doing well in their challenges against the Suppressing Beast, so it’s a good opportunity to go out for a hunt.

“Sure, tell me about it,” Zhu Minglang said.

…

Following the recommendation of the little maid, Zhu Minglang went to the palace of a Monarch residing on Bi Luo Island.

The palace was splendid and majestic, situated at the most scenic half-moon bay of Bi Luo Island. As an Inner Sect Disciple, as an Immortal, Zhu Minglang couldn’t afford to live in this area.

“Please, Young Immortal,” a State Preceptor who was in his sixties courteously received Zhu Minglang, especially after seeing that he was an Inner Sect Disciple from the Southern Heavenly Court.

Upon entering the palace, Zhu Minglang saw in the spacious hall only a middle-aged Monarch with deep bags under his eyes and pupils like stagnant water, not knowing how many nights he had stayed up, a true exemplar of cultivation.

“Guardian King, the Immortal has arrived. If you have any troubles, please…” the State Preceptor spoke.

The sleep-deprived Monarch looked at Zhu Minglang with a trace of suspicion.

Such a young man, is he really an Immortal??

“Inner Sect Disciple from the Southern Heavenly Court, Zhu Lang,” Zhu Minglang announced his identity and name.

Only then did the sleep-deprived Monarch stand up and bowed slightly to Zhu Minglang.

Although most Earthly Kings in Jun Tian are also divine strength holders, their status is much lower compared to a great Immortal Sect like the Southern Heavenly Court.

Behind the kings of the mortal realm, there mostly stands a great Immortal Sect, selecting whoever they want as king.

“Recently, this lowly king has been plagued by impure dreams. I wonder if I could trouble you, Young Immortal, to pay a visit to Purple Cypress Door and see if there’s any evil presence?” the Guardian King said.

“Please give me more details,” Zhu Minglang requested.

“Just to take a look will be fine, and there will be a generous reward,” the Guardian King was not explicit.

Zhu Minglang was puzzled but had no interest in the old affairs of these mortal kings. Those who don’t do wicked deeds don’t fear ghosts knocking at their door in the middle of the night.
