Chapter 236: Animal Hides And Progenitor Wushang (2/2)

The shadow contorted when it saw that Lu Yin was about to act. Then, it suddenly jumped onto Lu Yin’s palm and extended up his arm. Next, Lu Yin felt his arm turn scorching hot as if he had been burned. Given his current cultivation, it was very difficult to burn him, and this burning sensation had even been caused by someone who he had already defeated. Lu Yin quickly tore off his sleeve only to see a bizarre monkey tattoo on his arm. It had an adorable appearance, but what was it?

“Human, I’m your tamed beast now! You can’t kill me,” the Ghost Monkey’s voice floated into Lu Yin’s mind, shocking him.

“Tamed beast? What do you mean?”

“I once killed some cultivators from the Human Domain’s Beast Tamers Flowzone and acquired their technique for taming beasts. I just imprinted myself onto your body as a tamed beast, which means that my life is in your control. You can rest assured now. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know,” the Ghost Monkey explained helplessly.

Lu Yin looked at the new tattoo on his arm in wonder. So this is how it works too? He had always been curious about the Beast Tamers Flowzone’s techniques, as he could never picture how Kuang Wang had managed to imprint such a large creature like Cang Long onto his body, but now, he had one too. “The Beast Tamer technique should set the human as the master.”

“I didn’t have a choice. Since you were about to kill me, I could only try this, and luckily, it succeeded.

“Human, my injuries are too heavy right now, and I need to rest first. I won’t wake up anytime soon, but regardless, my life is in your hands now, and you can kill me whenever you desire.” After the Ghost Monkey said this, he fell silent.

Lu Yin breathed out and felt struck in a dilemma; should he kill or not?

He thought about it some more before ultimately deciding to not act. The more he looked at the adorable, life-like monkey tattoo on his arm, the more he felt like he could accept this turn of events.

However, a cute monkey tattoo was a bit eccentric for a man to have, and Lu Yin could not help but feel slightly disappointed. Kuang Want had the earth-shattering Cang Long, but Lu Yin had a cute monkey… What kind of crappy power did this monkey even have?! Fortunately, Lu Yin could tame more than one beast. Kuang Wang, for instance, also had a butterfly topgrass. Thus, Lu Yin should also be able to tame more than one beast. He would set aside some time to visit the Beast Tamers Flowzone in the future.

Since the matter with the Ghost Monkey had been resolved, it was now time for Lu Yin to find his way back.

This place was obviously an abandoned tribal village, and if he was still on Planet Conan, then the local civilizations’ progress should be rather backwards and primitive.

He followed the small path out of the village and looked around. The surrounding earth was still desolate and showed obvious signs of battle. There were also signs of burning, which should have been from the cleanup after a battle. This meant that this planet was still under the allied troops’ protection. It might even be Planet Conan, as the Ghost Monkey had not been able to use the Void Wanderer for very long.

At that moment, outside the thirty seven planets to the right of the border, a meteoroid appeared. “The first breath was here, and the second breath appeared there...” Its eyes swept across the thirty seven planets before finally settling on Planet Conan. “The second breath was much richer than the first, so there might be more than one.” Then, the meteoroid firmly rocketed forwards.

Suddenly, a sigh echoed out in space. “Brother Yao, please reconsider this.”

The meteoroid suddenly stopped as an enormous Void Thunderbeast appeared. The beast then forcibly shrank its body into a two-meter tall humanoid male who stared into the distance in shock. “Wen Sansi, I never thought that you’d be here too.”

The void ahead trembled as a young man walked out. He had a gentle smile and was garbed in white clothes, carrying scrolls, and even had a folding fan in his waistband. “Brother Yao, it’s been a while.”

“Indeed. I’m curious as to why the Ten Arbiters have appeared on this frontier battlefield. Have there been any great battles happening here?”

Wen Sansi smiled. “Since there haven't been any great battles, then as a powerhouse on the Skymender List, why are you appearing here? And you even want to force your way into a protected planet?”

“I was just curious. I heard that there’s a human student from the Astral Combat Academy who inherited the Thirteen Swords and another who comprehended five-lined battle force as a Melder. Shouldn’t we observe such young elites?” Yao Gu asked.

Wen Sansi shook his head and placed his hands behind his back. “If I’m here, then no.”

Yao Gu’s eyes widened. “It’s rumored that the Ten Arbiters have never had any conclusive battles between their members. I’m curious to find if you’re stronger than that fire bird.”

Wen Sansi smiled again. “Of course he’s stronger while I’m weaker. I, Wen Sansi, am just a mere scholar. I don’t like to fight.”

Yao Gu looked closely at Wen Sansi but did not speak.

Wen Sansi continued to smile at Yao Gu and did not speak up again. The heavens almost seemed to turn to stone from the lack of movement.

Off in the distance, Shui Chuanxiao glanced at his screen as his female deputy joyously shouted out, “Fortunately, the Ten Arbiters arrived in time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have a powerhouse to obstruct Yao Gu.”

“Why does Yao Gu want to barge into the thirty seven rightmost planets? Even those students from the Astral Combat Academy shouldn’t be worth him doing that,” Shui Chuanxiao muttered to himself, puzzled by the recent events.

“Could it really be because of Liu Shaoqiu? Legend has it that Yao Gu was once heavily injured by the Thirteen Swords,” the female deputy offered up.

Shui Chuanxiao shook his head. “No, the Skymender List and the Ten Arbiters would not casually start a war. They have a mutual understanding of each other, and past battles stay in the past. Once they start waging war, both star domains will be dragged in. It wouldn’t end with just a border skirmish.

“Right, how’s Planet Conan doing?” Shui Chuanxiao continued.

The female deputy answered, “Mira killed two Explorer mutant beasts by herself. The battlefield has stabilized, but Lu Yin is missing.”

“Lu Yin is missing? What do you mean?”
