15: Chapter 15 If you do not abandon me, the wolf demon is willing to become your master!

Baiyun Martial Arts Hall branch.

Inner courtyard.

Boom!

Qin Muyuan held the pure nail, cleaved open the inner courtyard gates with a single sword strike, and leisurely walked inside.

"No one?"

Scanning the entire inner courtyard, there was not a single mob or elite monster.

Following the arrow within his field of vision into the inner courtyard, then kicking open a hidden door tucked away in the corner of the inner courtyard, Qin Muyuan stepped inside the hidden door.

"You are back? Were the living people delivered?"

As soon as he walked from the hidden door into an underground corridor, a calm inquiry drifted from the corridor.

"The gladiatorial combat is about to start, and the guests have almost all arrived."

Following the voice, he saw a figure with its back turned to him in a spacious room.

That was a stout man, standing right in front of a cage, gazing at the Yao Beast bound by iron chains inside the cage.

The iron chains pierced through the Yao Beast's body, soaked in some kind of liquid. This liquid seeped into the Yao Beast's body, causing its expression to droop as it panted on the ground, gasping for breath with every lingering gasp.

This Yao Beast had already been starved for several days, and a hungry green light flashed in its eyes.

"Throw the person inside to whet its appetite... No, this Yao Beast has not eaten humans yet, you first dismantle the ingredients' hands and feet, then feed it to the Yao Beast bit by bit..."

The stout man stared fixedly at the Yao Beast and calmly added another sentence.

Still without turning his head or giving Qin Muyuan a proper look.

"Stealth assassination?"

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan immediately understood this was a stealth assassination phase designed by the game officials for players.

However.

Stealth assassination?

Unnecessary!

Possessing the golden talent [Essential Master], he simply had to smash and completely crush his opponent head-on!

What stealth assassination? Qin Muyuan only wanted to mow down enemies head-on and kill, kill, kill!

"What are you babbling on about?"

Qin Muyuan struck the pure nail against the ground, and a crisp "clang" echoed throughout the room.

Hearing the commotion behind him, the stout man turned around in astonishment, only to find that the person appearing before him was not Second Senior Brother Pan Yu, but a youth stained all over with blood.

Seeing the blood staining Qin Muyuan's body and the pure nail, First Senior Brother Yin Pei immediately felt a sense of ominous foreboding rise in his heart, and he shouted sternly:

"Who are you? Why did you appear here? Where is my Second Senior Brother?"

"Which Junior Brother are you talking about? Forget it, any Junior Brother is the same." Qin Muyuan shook his head and said:

"Anyway, the Disciples upstairs in your martial arts hall have all been killed by me, so the Second Senior Brother you mentioned should be among them as well."

"If you want to find him, then... go down and see him yourself!"

The next instant, the wind rose beneath Qin Muyuan's feet, his figure moving like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey as he suddenly flashed forward.

"So fast!"

First Senior Brother Yin Pei's heart was greatly alarmed; Qin Muyuan's speed completely exceeded the capture range of his eyes!

In his hasty rush, he could only quickly draw the broad saber at his waist, relying on his long-standing combat experience as a Martial Artist to desperately block upward—

"Clang!"

The sound of colliding metal exploded, and a colossal force like a pouncing tiger Yao Beast slammed fiercely onto the broad saber!

First Senior Brother Yin Pei's arms trembled, the terrifying power jarring the web of his hands until they ached and trembled incessantly!

However, just when he thought he had withstood this sword strike and wanted to launch a counterattack—

Qin Muyuan's next unpretentious strike of the Falling Thunder Swordsmanship cleaved down once more!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Sounds resembling blacksmithing reverberated throughout the room. First Senior Brother Yin Pei clenched his teeth tightly, blue veins bulging on his forehead, retreating while exhausting all his strength to resist Qin Muyuan's attacks!

Fortunately, he had blocked all four of these slashing strikes!

However, unfortunately—Qin Muyuan could continue to unleash a hundred more slashes like this.

Amidst First Senior Brother Yin Pei's terrified and despairing gaze, the pure nail fell through the air once again like falling thunder.

With this sword strike, First Senior Brother Yin Pei no longer had the strength to support himself!

His hands went limp, and that sword of falling thunder abruptly cleaved through the broad blade, smashing heavily onto First Senior Brother Yin Pei's head!

"Crack!"

The skull shattered in response.

First Senior Brother Yin Pei collapsed to the ground, and before his death, his face still carried bewilderment and shock.

He had completely no idea why the person who killed him had killed him, nor did he know why someone so young possessed such an endless surge of force.

To him, it was as baffling as staying peacefully in the martial arts hall, only for a humanoid dump truck to suddenly crash into the martial arts hall and ram him to death head-on.

However.

"A minor elite monster, why bother knowing so much?"

Qin Muyuan flicked the bloodstains off the pure nail and thought to himself:

"Since this guy could withstand four sword strikes of mine infused with force, he should be considered a third-rate Martial Artist, right?"

"It seems third-rate Martial Artists are just like that; compared to other mob Martial Artists, they can just endure a few more sword strikes from me..."

"So I should probably be at the Realm of a second-rate Martial Artist now?"

Thinking this, Qin Muyuan looked up at the Yao Beast locked up by the iron chains.

This Yao Beast had witnessed the entire process of him killing First Senior Brother Yin Pei. The ferocity originally present in its eyes had completely converged at this moment, replaced by a flattering expression on its wolf face.

Before Qin Muyuan even made a move, the fierce and vicious look inherent to it as a Yao Beast cleared up.

And for the Yao Beast, it could not afford to not clear up!

Its strength was a notch weaker than both First Senior Brother Yin Pei and Second Senior Brother Pan Yu; otherwise, it would not have been captured by them and locked up here as a tool to rake in wealth for the gladiatorial arena.

At this moment, seeing this youth who looked refined and delicate, yet was shrouded in a blood aura even denser than its own as a Yao Beast, cold sweat on its back almost surged out from its lower body!

"I heard you eat living humans raw?"

Qin Muyuan looked toward the Yao Beast pierced through by the iron chains, lifted the pure nail slightly, and asked.

The Yao Beast hurriedly waved its hands, only to discover its palms were locked by the iron chains, whereupon it hastily switched to shaking its unlocked hind legs:

"Awooo awooo awooo!"

If it were not for the fact that it could not speak, the Yao Beast would have been recounting its tragic encounters with tears and snot right now!

It had only been captured two days ago by the people of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall working together, locked into this dungeon, and pierced through the body by iron chains soaked in potions, leaving it utterly weak.

Let alone killing and eating humans, right now it barely even had the strength to twitch its hind legs!

But... to survive, it still mustered every ounce of strength it had, shaking its hind legs to indicate it had never eaten humans while awooo-ing to explain to Qin Muyuan.

"You have not eaten humans?"

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan nodded slightly.

Whether the Yao Beast had eaten humans or not, he did not know; however, Killing Intent Perception indicated that the Yao Beast indeed held not a shred of Killing Intent toward him at the moment, only emotions of fright and terror.

"I happen to lack a mount, and I think you are not bad."

Qin Muyuan raised the pure nail and said, staring at the Yao Beast.

Speaking of which, mounts in this game should be able to be subdued casually, right?

After all, this game portrays realism so awesomely...

Hearing Qin Muyuan's words, without a second word, the Yao Beast swung its hind legs up against the wall, waved its bound wolf paws toward Qin Muyuan, and lowered its wolf head:

"Awooo awooo awooo!"

A posture of "If Your Excellency does not disdain me, this Yao Beast is willing to acknowledge you as master!" unfolded completely.

"You certainly know how to read the room!"

Qin Muyuan chuckled; it was truly realistic enough!

As long as you could beat them, you did not need any contracts or mount bindings; you could directly beat a Yao Beast into submission and turn it into a mount.
