Free Web NovelChapter 687: Chapter 682: Do You Want Freedom?
"Wenjiu, you go assist the Stone Mother in dealing with Wind Element Lord Belize."
Bai Pu methodically ordered, "Soul Capture, Circular Flow, infiltrate the Wind King Palace and find a way to retrieve the Wind-Binding Ring."
The three experts agreed in unison and set off without hesitation.
Bai Pu himself ascended into the air on the Magic Sand Flying Disc.
Magic Sand was the only method Bai Pu could use without affecting his own energy balance.
Because Magic Sand was pre-refined by Bai Pu, it only required Spiritual Power to utilize, without needing to tap into Bai Pu’s internal energy.
Under the cover of a group of Huaxia experts, Bai Pu floated over to the electric grid where the Winged Tooth Beast King was.
"Do you want... freedom?"
The Winged Tooth Beast King’s dark golden eyes gazed at Bai Pu. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Even though there was an electric grid between them, it could still sense the formidable presence of the human before it, like a towering mountain and vast sea.
However, the emotions radiating from this human were very gentle, giving the Winged Tooth Beast King an impulse to trust.
Seeing that the Winged Tooth Beast King did not immediately attack him, Bai Pu thought to himself:
There’s potential here! freewēbnoveℓ.com
To lure the Winged Tooth Beast King here, Bai Pu expended a lot of the Rooster’s monitoring methods to determine the Winged Tooth Beast King’s location in real-time.
His aim was not only to use the Winged Tooth Beast King to scare away the Sea Race.
But to turn the Winged Tooth Beast King into his mount!
When Bai Pu first got the Winged Tooth Beast cub, Ku Fei, he thought of raising it to become his mount.
After all, the Riding Spear mode of the "Doomsday" long spear requires a powerful mount to unleash its full potential.
Upon seeing the Winged Tooth Beast King, Bai Pu’s target quickly shifted from the cub to the Beast King itself.
Why raise one when there’s a fully grown one available?
Bai Pu originally planned to use "Pure Blood Protection" to achieve this goal.
The plan was to utilize the Winged Tooth Beast King’s natural sense of the cub, hiding Ku Fei in the Sea Race’s lair, causing a clash between the Beast King and the Sea Race.
Then, when the Winged Tooth Beast King was nearly defeated by the Sea Race, Bai Pu would seize the opportunity to use Pure Blood for enslavement.
The success rate of this plan wasn’t high, mainly because the Winged Tooth Beast King follows the Enhanced Lord template, while Bai Pu is only halfway there, a level and a half short, making pure blood enslavement’s success rate low.
But it was worth trying, as obtaining the Beast King’s voluntary agreement would greatly increase the success rate.
Later, Bai Pu drew a Divine Skill of the Summoning Profession: [Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort], from the treasure chest of the Subordinate God Ferudo.
A skill for taming summoned creatures.
This made the feasibility of Bai Pu’s plan much higher!
Taking advantage of the Winged Tooth Beast King not attacking him, Bai Pu raised his hands, activating [Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort].
[Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort: Applies a comforting effect to the selected target, attempting to tame it. The target must be one of the Divine Descendant, Dragon Species, Beast Species, or Demon Species, or have one of these bloodlines. If taming is successful, the target becomes your summoned creature and ascends to the Star Realm.]
[Warning: The greater the strength difference between you and the target, the longer the taming process. During taming, the target may become enraged and attack you. Enduring the attack head-on can aid in successful taming.]
Bai Pu’s hands mimicked the action of enticing a small dog, and faint heart-shaped phantoms spread out, enveloping the Winged Tooth Beast King.
The Winged Tooth Beast King flew into a rage.
This human, who seemed somewhat pleasing to its eyes (due to high charisma and passive bonuses from the Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort skill), actually intended to treat it as a pet?
Even though the Winged Tooth Beast King’s intelligence wasn’t high, it possessed the pride of an Enhanced Lord.
It immediately swiped its claws out!
Crack—
Electric currents surged through the grid, causing the Winged Tooth Beast King to swiftly retract its claws with a hiss.
Bai Pu continued maintaining the [Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort] skill.
The skill required a surprisingly long channeling time given the two-template difference, and had an extremely high failure rate.
However, Bai Pu discovered an interesting aspect.
The Winged Tooth Beast King hesitated in its attack against him halfway (due to the electric grid), while Bai Pu made no evasion.
This caused the skill to recognize that "Bai Pu didn’t summon Professional Energy, enduring the attack," thus increasing the taming success rate!
The bizarre ruling was largely due to the caster of the electric grid—Wind Element Lord Belize—being an enemy of Bai Pu. In the Spirit Realm Will’s judgment, the "Thunder-Binding Net" was not considered an aid to Bai Pu.
If Belize were on Bai Pu’s side, not only would the taming success rate not increase, but [Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort] would directly fail!
The Winged Tooth Beast King repeatedly swiped its claws, only to retract them.
In Bai Pu’s prompt window, it constantly showed, "You endured the Winged Tooth Beast King’s attack head-on (without summoning Professional Energy), taming success rate +1"...
Despite this, when the progress bar was nearing its end, the taming success rate still hadn’t surpassed 50%!
The lingering fury in the Winged Tooth Beast King’s dark golden eyes was evident; if not for the electric grid’s obstruction, it would’ve torn Bai Pu to pieces immediately!
"Could it be... Ku Fei’s summoning contract?"
Bai Pu had a sudden realization, promptly choosing to sever the summoning contract with Ku Fei, swiftly cutting off their mental connection.
The effect was immediate; the fierce glint in the Beast King’s small eyes diminished significantly, replaced by a look of confusion.
Bai Pu seized the opportunity, squeezing out a drop of pure blood from his fingertip, flicking it to the Winged Tooth Beast King’s forehead through the grid.
The red glow of the pure blood quickly spread over the Beast King’s forehead, rapidly erasing its self-awareness.
The Winged Tooth Beast King howled in fear, shaking its head to rid the pure blood.
Bai Pu swiftly withdrew the pure blood, which flew back to rest on his fingertip.
"If you don’t submit to the taming, I’ll use this blood to completely enslave you, destroying your consciousness."
"Submit to the taming, and I will grant you greater strength, helping you rescue your child."
This was the message Bai Pu conveyed.
Through the mental connection established by [Divine Descent Warrior’s Comfort], Bai Pu clearly communicated this intention.
This became the final straw that broke the Beast King’s will to resist.
Finally, the progress bar reached its end, and the Spirit Realm Will promptly delivered the message:
[You have successfully tamed the Winged Tooth Beast King.]
[The Winged Tooth Beast King has become your summoned creature, and can ascend to the Star Realm. You can also summon it for descent at any time from the Star Realm.]
"Success!"
Bai Pu was overjoyed.
There is a significant difference between Pure Blood Servants and summoned creatures.
The biggest difference is that Pure Blood Servants cannot follow Bai Pu across realms. If Bai Pu were to use pure blood to subdue the Winged Tooth Beast King, it would only be enjoyable in the Demon Fighting World; outside of it, he would have no such mount.
Now it has become a summoned creature, and Bai Pu can summon it whenever he wishes.
Moreover, Bai Pu’s pure blood was merely for intimidation, taking advantage of the Beast King’s lower intelligence. Given the Winged Beast King’s template and its almost undamaged current state, the success rate of Bai Pu’s pure blood enslavement was nearly zero.
