Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 102 Thunder Needle Weasel

"This way, fellow Daoist." The female cultivator quickly led Chen Beiwu inside.

Walking down the spacious corridor to the end, the female cultivator swiped her access card and led Chen Beiwu into a high-tech training room.

[Thunder Tribulation Attack and Defense Test Platform]

【The Ever-Changing Frozen Realm Maze】

[The Mighty Body Tempering Pillar]

【Fire Refining Furnace】

Looking at the training equipment for spirit beasts that combined array formations and talismans around him, Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up slightly.

Although demonic beasts are blessed by heaven and earth, and their bloodlines can bear the three thousand Great Daos, they still need to undergo tribulations and be baptized by heavenly tribulations when breaking through to a higher realm.

For example, a spirit beast like the Azure Thunder Tiger needs to undergo the Azure Thunder Tribulation test when it advances from the first realm of monster to the second realm of lesser demon.

The Azure Thunder Tribulation is a relatively rare first-order thunder tribulation in the Immortal Alliance. The lightning is azure in color, and depending on the strength of the demon beast's bloodline, it will strike down one to nine bolts of lightning. Therefore, it is also known as the One-Nine Thunder Tribulation by cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.

Because the Azure Thunder Tiger is a thunder-attribute spirit beast, passing through the Nine Azure Thunder Tribulation is as easy as drinking water for it.

However, the other elemental spirit beasts are different, especially the water and wood elemental spirit beasts that are countered by the lightning element.

These kinds of spirit beasts have a hard time surviving the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, causing cultivators who contract with these beasts to suffer severe damage to their vitality and lose everything.

To this end, the Immortal Alliance's Imperial Law Pavilion specially developed a lightning tribulation attack and defense testing platform.

This second-tier spiritual artifact, with its dome-shaped hanging lightning crystal and the essence of the five elements, can simulate a small-scale Five Elements Nine-Thunder Tribulation with controllable power according to the needs of the beast tamer.

When cultivators and beasts enter, they can undergo the tribulation of lightning in advance, which will temper their will and slightly increase their resistance to lightning.

"You can leave now." Chen Beiwu waved his hand, signaling the female cultivator to leave, and took out the golden egg from his spirit beast bag.

"Gulu."

The golden egg swayed its body, curiously observing its surroundings.

"Would you like to test the defensive capabilities of the Golden Scales?" Chen Beiwu asked telepathically.

"Gurgle." The golden egg shuddered and quickly shook its head.

"Very well, since you're so eager, then go in." Chen Beiwu opened the tribulation testing platform and placed the golden egg, which was trying to resist, inside.

[A water-type beast has been detected entering. Activate the lightning tribulation training mode? Yes/No]

Chen Beiwu pressed the confirm button, and tiny electric arcs began to sputter from the dome of the test platform.

[Please select the power level of the Nine-Thunder Tribulation Exercise: Superior/Medium/Inferior]

After a moment's thought, Chen Beiwu chose a superior-level lightning tribulation that suited the tempering of the great spirit.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Sensing the growing power of the thunderclouds above its head, the golden egg began to sway restlessly.

Soon, as time passed, lightning surged wildly within the vortex-shaped dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning shaped like a coiled dragon crashed down, its target the golden egg.

"Gulu!"

The golden egg's eyes widened, and its scales instinctively emitted a layer of golden light that covered its entire body.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu nodded to himself.

Under the threat of thunder, the golden egg activated the Golden Scale Spirit Technique much faster than before.

"boom!"

As Chen Beiwu expected, when the lightning dissipated, the golden egg's eyes were filled with fear, but its scales were completely unharmed.

He pressed the stop button and thought to himself, "How does it feel? Just like I said, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Gurgle." The golden egg nodded.

This lightning tribulation doesn't hurt, but it looks incredibly powerful and is terrifying.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few tries."

After calming the golden egg down, Chen Beiwu pressed the button to chop it repeatedly.

"Boom!" "Boom...!"

Nine thunderous sounds rang out in succession inside the lightning tribulation test platform.

Fifteen minutes later, the golden egg lay lifeless on the stone platform covered with charred lightning strike marks, exhaling rings of black smoke.

Only when it saw Chen Beiwu did a glimmer of life return to its eyes.

"Gulu!"

Golden Egg swung its body, its eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.

"What? You want to duel with me?" Chen Beiwu pointed to himself and said in his mind.

Upon hearing this, the anger in Jin Dan's eyes vanished instantly.

So what if I get struck by lightning? It won't hurt at all. It's the sparring with a beast tamer that really hurts!

Seeing the golden egg's performance, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but shake his head.

He was already quite cautious in his actions, but Jin Dan was even more outrageous than him.

'Looks like I need to find a worthy opponent for Golden Egg to boost its confidence.'

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu opened the combat matching device in the Beast Taming Arena and selected to fight against a single beast of the same type.

Meanwhile, in the training room of the Beast Taming Training Grounds.

A handsome man who had been meditating in a cross-legged position slowly opened his eyes and looked at the information displayed on his phone.

"Golden Scales! What's the use of contracting a second-tier spirit beast like that?" Han Zheng shook his head speechlessly.

Fish-type spirit beasts are weak in the early stages of combat, so fighting them is simply a waste of time.

Normally, he wouldn't even bother taking on these kinds of sparring matches.

However, his contracted companion beast, the Thunder Needle Weasel, has recently accumulated enough cultivation to reach a critical point. It only needs to consume a second-tier spiritual medicine to break through the 49-year cultivation barrier and attempt to advance to the second-realm minor demon realm.

To raise the spiritual energy needed to buy the elixirs, even though he was a student of the Beast Taming Specialty in Yuankong County and was invincible among cultivators of the same level, he could only work part-time jobs to make a living.

"Fine, you're unlucky to have picked me." Han Zheng stood up and walked towards the fifteenth battle stage in the Beast Taming Training Arena.

……

Battle Stage Number Fifteen.

Han Zheng gave a professional smile and introduced himself: "Fellow Daoist, I am Han Zheng, the Grade A sparring partner you have booked."

"Let's get started." Chen Beiwu went straight to the point.

Han Zheng's expression turned serious, and a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the spirit beast pouch at his waist and landed on the battle stage.

It was a strange beast that was two feet long, resembling a weasel, with its back, tail, and claws covered in dark blue scales.

Its forepaws have three toes with barbs, and there is a translucent webbed membrane between the toes that shimmers with faint electric arcs.

[Species]: Needle Weasel

[Attribute]: Thunder

[Bloodline]: Second-tier, low-grade
[Cultivation Level]: Forty-nine years
[Talent]: Thunder Prison (Dual claws can unleash lightning to bind and paralyze opponents), Thunder Armor (Scales are electrified and can store lightning).

'Not bad, this lightning rod weasel should be able to put some pressure on the golden egg.' Chen Beiwu nodded to himself, then took out his spirit beast pouch.

"Thump thump." A golden light appeared.

Han Zheng looked down curiously and saw a hint of naivety and cuteness in the eyes of the golden-scaled creature.

'Why does this golden-scaled creature have no wildness or ferocity in its eyes?' His heart skipped a beat.

Beastmasters who can pamper such beasts are mostly spoiled cultivators.

During the months Han Zheng served as a sparring partner, this was the type of opponent he least wanted to encounter.

He's a typical example of someone who's bad at fighting but loves to fight. In actual combat training, he can't tolerate his fellow beastmen getting hurt, and he'll start causing trouble at the slightest inconvenience.

"Little Weasel, try to add some water," Han Zheng mentally reminded him.

"Squeak!"

The Thunder Needle Weasel stared intently at the golden scales, swallowing involuntarily, completely ignoring the Beastmaster's warning.
