"It broke through to the lower-rank of upper-stage fierce beast realm after turning into this," Taichu Hong couldn't believe anything happening in front of his eyes.
"Sh...Shung Yun, what happened to your beast?" Shung Wen stuttered as he asked Shung Yun.
"He mutated," Shung Yun said, "it has something to do with the beast race's heritage."
Hearing Shung Yun's words and seeing a few characteristics in the jade horn deer that's found in the shadow panthers, Shung Wen understood what Shung Yun meant by mutated.
"Can someone come help me on Ubei," Shung Yun called as he looked at the elite soldiers.
Feeling several gazes on them, Shung Wen and Shung Xhao swallowed hard as they looked at Ubei.
Seeing the direction of Shung Wen and Shung Xhao gaze, Shung Yun said, "he won't harm any of you."
"Like that should take away the aura leaking out of it," Shung Xhao thought as he still stood at a spot.
"I will trust his control over the beast," Shung Wen said as he began walking towards Shung Yun.
"He's really going," Byui Tang was impressed by Shung Wen's courage of going close to that monstrosity.
"See, he won't hurt you if you're trying to help me," Shung Yun said as he Shung Wen carried him.
"So heavy," veins popped out of Shung Wen's hands as he lifted Shung Yun to the back of the jade horn deer.
"You can touch his head," Shung Yun said as he sat on Ubei's back.
Giving it a try, Shung Wen kept his eyes on Ubei as he slowly placed his right hand on his head.
"So smooth," he involuntarily muttered as his hand moved slowly across Ubei's head.
Roar!!
Shooting backwards as soon as Ubei roared, Shung Wen un-hung his club as his Qi shrouded his entire body.
"Hahaha!!" Shung Yun laughed as he saw Shung Wen reaction to Ubei's warning, "you shouldn't overreact that way. Ubei was only warning you to never try touching his head if I didn't order it."
Still keeping his battle stance despite hearing what Shung Yun said, Shung Wen's heartbeat so fast that his breathing became rough.
"Shung Wen," Shung Xhao called as he walked towards his team leader.
Clang!!
"Shung Wen! It's me, Shung Xhao!" Shung Xhao shouted as he struggled to hold his sword firm against Shung Wen's club.
"Shung Xhao?" Shung Wen stopped pressing his club downward as he stepped back, "I..I'm sorry."
"You almost smashed my head!" Shung Xhao shouted as he flexed his palms.
"I'm sorry. I let my fear get the best of me," Shung Wen said as he hung his club on the belt on his waist.
"Keep your beast under control, Shung Yun," Byui Tang said as he walked towards Shung Wen, "can you continue forward?"
"How many times do you want to hear it. He's under control," Shung Yun said as he put his battle-axe on the strap on his back.
"He doesn't act like one under control," Taichu Hong said with fear visible in his eyes as he looked at Ubei.
"Roar!!" Ubei roared as he showed his new razor-sharp teeth.
"I don't think they want to see that," Shung Yun said as he sat cross-legged behind Ubei.
Feeling fear sprint through their spines as they heard the roar of the beast and saw its razor-sharp teeth, sweat clouded their foreheads and their necks as they prepared for any attack from the low-rank upper-stage jade horn deer.
"Seems you guys are scared of what you can no longer defeat," Shung Yun said as he saw the over cautiousness of the elite soldiers.
",..,"
Giving no reply to Shung Yun, the elite soldiers slowly backed away with their eyes still on Ubei.
Disregarding the elite soldiers, Shung Yun said, "protect me as I cultivate."
"Understood, my king," Ubei said as he released his aura to the surrounding to scare away beasts drawn towards the noise of the previous battle and the blood of Pugha and his severed head on the ground.
"Why don't we tell him to go back to the village? I can't fight properly while knowing a beast that can easily take my life with one attack is very close to me," Taichu Hong said as he sat cross-legged in front of a fire.
"But with the beast, we might finish the mission in a few days," Shung Xhao said.
"If he doesn't finish us first!" Taichu Hong retorted, "Shung Yun might not be able to continue controlling the beast for long."
"Taichu Hong is right. Shung Yun is a skin-strengthening stage body tempering realm cultivator, while his beast is comparable with a lower-stage dantian realm cultivator of the human race. The gap between them is too much," Byui Tang said, agreeing with Taichu Hong to exempt Shung Yun from the mission.
"The both of you should know that Shung Yun was a skin-strengthening stage body tempering realm cultivator when he controlled the full-rank middle-stage jade horn deer and killed a full-rank middle-stage shadow panther," Shung Xhao conveyed.
"You can't compare an upper-stage fierce beast to a middle-stage fierce beast," Taichu Hong contended.
"So can you not compare a a middle-stage fierce beast to a body tempering realm cultivator," Shung Xhao said.
"It's dangerous," Shung Wen said as he looked at Shung Xhao, "the fear I felt almost made me smash your head to oblivion."
"You overreacted," Shung Xhao said.
"And you didn't even move an inch towards the beast when Shung Yun asked for help," Shung Wen reminded Shung Xhao.
"It's concluded. Shung Yun will no longer continue the mission with us," Byui Tang said as he gave his final verdict.
Roar!!!
A loud roar shook the trees thirty[30] miles around the territory of Pugha, sending hundreds of beasts into panic mode.
"What was that?" Byui Lui asked as he frighteningly looked towards the source of the roar.
"That sounded like Shung Yun's beast," Shung Wen said as he un-hung his club.
"Everyone, prepare for battle," Byui Tang said as he grabbed his hammer on his waist.
! !! !!! !!!! B! B!! B!!!
"Something is coming," Taichu Gui said as he tightened the grip on his sword while cautiously looking around.
Ba!! Ba!!! Ba!!! Ba!!! Ba!!!! Bam!
"It's getting closer!" Byui Tai uttered as he constantly squeezed the hilt of his sword.
Bam! Bam!! Bam!! Bam!!! Bam!!! Bam!!!!
"Run!!" Byui Tang shouted as the ground vibrated from dozens of footsteps stamping towards their destination.
Dashing towards the entrance of the forest, they abandoned their horses as they bolted through the trees at their fastest speeds.
Roar!! Roar!! Roar!! Roar!! Roar!! [x27]
Multitude of roars sounded out as hundreds of beasts presented themselves before the newly advanced upper-stage fierce beast.
"This is power," Shung Yun thought as he looked at the multitude of beasts presenting themselves before Ubei, "this is what I need to gain peace. Power to command multitudes to do my will."
"I'm Ubei of the Jade Horn Deer Lineage! From today, I will be your commander, and the human sitting on me will be your king!" Ubei declared as his aura stretched across the multitude of beasts.
"Impossible! How can a human be my king!? I rather die than let that happen!!" a two[2] meters high golden leopard utterly refused Ubei's words despite the aura suppressing it.
"Is your life so worthless in your eyes?" Shung Yun asked as he made Ubei move towards the two[2] meters high golden leopard, "is your effort in becoming a full-rank middle-stage fierce beast so useless in your eyes?"
Sensing a submissive aura from the human sitting on Ubei's back, Thuka was completely shocked.
"Wh..who are you?" he asked as he backed away from Ubei.
