Chapter 26: One trick is eaten all over the world
Xuan Song felt incredibly aggrieved. Looking at Han Yi's smug expression, he was so jealous that his teeth itched. He secretly vowed to find a chance to get revenge and teach this kid a lesson.
Han Yi was secretly overjoyed, knowing that he had made the right move. Not only had he solved the problem, but he had also gained a powerful giant bear, a rare opportunity. His eyes darted around, and he had another idea. He looked at Xuan Song and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, now that you've given me the beast, can you teach me a technique for controlling beasts? Otherwise, how am I supposed to get along with this big guy?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Song nearly jumped up on the spot, glaring at Han Yi with eyes as wide as copper bells: "Don't push your luck! I've already given you the bear, and now you want the method of taming beasts?"
Han Yi shrugged and innocently explained, "Fourth Senior Brother, you don't want this giant bear to cause any more trouble, do you? If I can't control it and it hurts someone, and Master blames me, and I accidentally reveal what happened today, that would be bad."
Xuan Song was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He felt a surge of anger in his chest, like a volcano about to erupt at any moment. After a long while, he finally resignedly spoke: "Fine, I'll send you. But we've got this agreed, this matter ends here today. If you dare to go back on your word, I will not forgive you."
Han Yi replied with a grin, "Don't worry, senior brother, I'm sensible."
Xuan Song reluctantly explained the key points of the beast-taming technique, "Spiritual Contract Beast Taming Technique," to Han Yi. This technique was said to allow one to communicate with the minds of beasts, making them easy to control and incredibly powerful.
Han Yi listened intently, occasionally interjecting with a question, his eyes darting around like a shrewd little fox. After listening, he even nodded pretentiously, as if carefully studying the skill he had just learned.
A moment later, Han Yi's eyes lit up, and he got excited again: "Fourth Senior Brother, this technique is pretty good, but I don't have any spiritual power right now, so I can't practice it. Besides, without a handy treasure to help me, I won't be able to use it well even when I have spiritual power later. I think your beast-taming gadget is pretty good, can you lend me one?"
One trick is all you need to survive. Han Yi is planning to use this one weakness to his advantage against Xuan Song for the rest of his life. His skin is so thick it can stop bullets.
Xuan Song was now truly enraged. His eyes widened, and he roared, "Han Yi, you've gone too far! I've given you the bear, and I've even taught you the magic technique. You still want more treasures? No way!"
Han Yi wasn't afraid at all and said slowly, "Fourth Senior Brother, calm down. I need this treasure to keep this beast in check and prevent it from causing trouble. If there's nothing to keep it in check, and it goes berserk, it will cause trouble like what happened today, and you'll be in deep trouble."
Xuan Song was trembling with rage, his teeth grinding together, wishing he could tear Han Yi apart. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. But he knew he couldn't act impulsively now, or he would make a mess of things and there would be no way to clean up the mess.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger, he said, "Han Yi, don't push people too far!"
Han Yi frowned, feigning difficulty: "Fourth Senior Brother, that's not right of you. Think about it, if the giant bear goes out of control and injures people it shouldn't, I can't handle the consequences if Master investigates. I have no choice but to tell the truth..."
Xuan Song was speechless, his mind in turmoil. On one hand, he really didn't want to give Han Yi anything more; on the other hand, he was afraid that this hothead really couldn't control the giant bear and would cause him trouble, which would have endless consequences.
After much deliberation, she decided to accept her fate. Gritting her teeth, she pulled out a ring from her bosom and tossed it to Han Yi: "This is the beast-taming ring I used before. Although it's not as good as the one I have now, it's still somewhat useful. It also has an advantage: it doesn't require spiritual power to activate. Just drip a drop of blood essence into it, and it will be ready to be used. Take it, and don't cause me any trouble."
Han Yi took it and examined it. The Beast Taming Ring was small and exquisite, like a ring, bronze in color, with some mysterious patterns engraved on it, gleaming with a faint light, and it looked extraordinary.
He immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you so much, Fourth Senior Brother! You're so generous! I will definitely make good use of this and live up to your kindness."
Xuan Song was so angry that he couldn't be bothered to talk to him. He waved his hand weakly, looking as if all his energy had been drained.
Han Yi, knowing when to stop, smiled and said goodbye, "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior Brother. We'll be leaving now."
Xuan Song was furious at Han Yi's smug look. He cursed inwardly, wishing Han Yi would trip and fall as soon as he stepped out the door. But he was helpless and could only watch him walk away.
