116 Magical Spirit Fist

  The closer Chu Xiao got to the scorpion-tailed lions, the more clearly he could sense the warning meaning in their fierce consciousness. However, Chu Xiao's wild heart had a powerful soothing effect on the wild consciousness of any spiritual beast. Although Chu Xiao did not heed the warning of the scorpion-tailed lions, he continued to slowly approach them, and they did not get up and pounce on him.

  Chu Xiao attempted to communicate with these thorny lions through his wild heart.

  It's strange to say, these scorpion-tailed lions originally conveyed a very violent consciousness, but now they're slowly calming down, filled with a kind of doubt or curiosity.

  Once this curiosity is transformed into intimacy, it means that the examination task can be successfully completed.

  In fact, the most crucial step in the exam task is to dispel the spiritual beast's vigilance towards the examinee and make it curious, so that the spiritual beast will allow the examinee to approach and conduct real consciousness communication.

  Having a wild heart, Chu Xiao also had the Tian Xian system's enlightenment, and communication with spiritual beasts was not unfamiliar to him. On the contrary, he was extremely professional. While communicating with these scorpion-tailed lions, Chu Xiao conveyed his kind intentions to them through his wild heart.

  Twenty-five meters, twenty meters, fifteen meters. Chu Xiao quickly approached the scorpion-tailed lion group within three zhangs, which was an extremely dangerous distance. However, those scorpion-tailed lions did not make a sound, nor did they emit any roars, but instead looked at Chu Xiao with a very curious gaze. As for warning signs such as ferocity, they had long since disappeared.

  "Look, he's already within three zhang of the scorpion-tailed lion group. Those scorpion-tailed lions don't seem to have any violent movements. It seems that his wild heart is quite strong. Let's see if he can hold on until the end. We'd better prepare for a rescue!"

  "Being able to get within three zhang is already extremely rare, it seems that this is a good seed for a spiritual beast breeder."

  "Look at that candidate who chose the Qihoo beast, he has already walked up to the Qihoo beast's side. The Qihoo beast no longer shows any hostility towards him, now it depends on whether they can acknowledge each other in their next communication."

  "This person's chances of success should be very high."

  Among all the examinees, the most eye-catching ones are Chu Xiao who chose the Scorpion-tailed Lion and another examinee who chose the Qí Hǔ Shòu. In comparison, the other examinees seem ordinary, basically choosing human-level spiritual beasts for communication, so several spiritual beast breeders focus on observing Chu Xiao and the other two.

  Chu Xiao continued to walk until he was a zhang away from the scorpion-tailed lion group before stopping, because he sensed that the wild consciousness of the scorpion-tailed lion group began to stir again.

  If it were just a single saber-toothed lion, Chu Xiao wouldn't be worried and could simply walk past, but now there was a whole group of them, at least eight in total. When communicating with them, it meant having to communicate with the wild consciousness of all eight saber-toothed lions while constantly soothing them.

  It's also Chu Xiao's "Wild Heart" talent that is extremely high, otherwise these eight Scorpion-Tailed Lions would have gone berserk long ago.

  Chu Xiao sat down cross-legged just one zhang away from the scorpion-tailed lion group.

  Next, he began to use the spiritual beast communication technique to communicate with these eight scorpion-tailed lions. However, he found that progress was slow and these scorpion-tailed lions were even more difficult to get close to than he had imagined. It would take a lot of time and effort to make them understand, and it was uncertain whether he could complete the communication before the exam ended.

  Suddenly, Chu Xiao's heart moved and he remembered the spiritual fist he had learned from the old man not long ago.

  All things have spirit, not just plants and trees, animals are the same, otherwise, when the old man practices spiritual boxing, he can't help but merge into it.

  Perhaps through the spiritual realm of this boxing, it is possible to better communicate with these Scorpio Lions.

  He said and did, Chu Xiao closed his eyes, and in his mind, he gradually imagined the essence of Ling Xing Quan's boxing method. A strange spiritual fluctuation was transmitted, and the surrounding grass and trees seemed to be stirred up, and actually started to move automatically without wind. A faint halo emanated out, and gradually, a faint light spread out around him.

  What was even more bizarre was that the eyes of those scorpion-tailed lions actually became calm, as if they were also feeling the spiritual realm constructed by Chu Xiao's Ling Xing Quan.

  Compared with the spiritual realm of the elder, Chu Xiao's fundamental is not a spiritual realm at all, but just an array of intertwined spiritual fluctuations.

  The scorpion-tailed lions, shrouded in this spiritual aura, naturally merged into it. At this moment, Chu Xiao found that his heart was extremely sensitive to the surroundings, as if he could read the joys and sorrows of all living things. As the spiritual fist's intent unfolded in his mind, it seemed that he could use its power to cleanse their spirits, making them calm and peaceful.

  After he had mentally rehearsed the Spiritual Fist technique, Chu Xiao finally exhaled softly and opened his eyes. Although the spiritual formation had dissipated, the spiritual energy of the surrounding plants seemed to have become more vibrant, constantly transmitting a spiritual fluctuation that affected the surrounding void. Even the eight Scorpion-Tailed Lions began to play with each other, their wild consciousness devoid of any hostility, as if they regarded him as one of their own kind.

  This spiritual fist is indeed amazing, it actually has such an amazing effect in the training of spiritual beasts!

  Chu Xiao felt a sense of emotion in his heart and immediately hurriedly called out to these scorpion-tailed lions according to the corresponding method.

  It really worked!

  These scorpion-tailed lions stopped their frolic and all crawled up, walking towards Chu Xiao.

  Several spiritual beast breeders saw this situation and all became tense. As soon as something happened, they rushed to rescue people.

  But what happened next left them stunned, for the group of lion-like creatures did not attack Chu Xiao, but instead surrounded him, lying down as if guarding him.

  "It seems that this person's wild heart is even stronger than we imagined, and can actually make the eight-headed scorpion-tailed lion so close to him."

  "It seems like there's another abnormality among this batch of examinees."

  "Look, the candidate who chose Qihoo Beast has already finished communicating and is bringing that Qihoo Beast over!"

  A beastmaster suddenly said, and the others hurriedly looked over to see a giant tiger with green flesh wings following behind a girl, walking towards them.

  That giant tiger is a Qihubest, a mid-grade earth-level spiritual beast that looks extremely ferocious.

  This is still a farmed Kirin beast, its wildness isn't that strong, and it has been domesticated by a spiritual beast breeder. If it were truly a wild Kirin beast, that would be truly frightening.

  As for the girl, she was naturally the examinee, about 15 or 16 years old, with a sweet and lovely appearance, but her hands were inserted in her trouser pockets, giving off a cool demeanor.

  "Comrade, you've already completed the exam task in just one hour and eight minutes. The target was a mid-grade Qihoo beast. What's your name?"

  Chapter 8: Spirit Beast Breeder Zhang Yu began recording the girl's exam information.

  "Zhen Yu."

  The girl simply said two words and then cast her gaze in the direction where Chu Xiao was, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

  As soon as the girl Zhen Yu finished her exam task first, in the next half hour, some examinees also came over with their spiritual beasts one after another.

  Compared to Chen Yu, they had all summoned human-grade spirit beasts.

  But being able to complete the exam task is already very good.

  At this moment, Chu Xiao was still communicating deeply with the scorpion-tailed lion group. He didn't know that more and more eyes were paying attention to him.

  In fact, he can now completely summon the scorpion-tailed lion group, but he is not satisfied with this. Taking this opportunity, he wants to communicate more deeply with the spiritual beast.

  As the communication deepened, Chu Xiao's relationship with the Scorpion Lion group became even closer, not only could he touch them, but also command them to perform some actions. Even for a high-level spiritual beast breeder, it would take a very long time to achieve what Chu Xiao had accomplished.

  Now, Chu Xiao had only spent a little over an hour, and if the news got out, even a spiritual beast breeding master would be shocked.

  Chu Xiao was able to achieve this level, apart from his wild heart and the taming method obtained through the Xuan Tian system's enlightenment, there was another more important reason - that is, Ling Xing Quan. This sect master-level fist technique could actually cleanse the spiritual nature of all things in the world, and under its cleansing, the Scorpion-Tailed Lion's wild consciousness became calm, and it even developed a sense of closeness to Chu Xiao.

  For such a result, Chu Xiao was still very satisfied, so he stood up from the ground, habitually patted his butt, and in fact, there were dust-repelling charms on his clothes, which would not get stained with mud at all.

  Under the gaze of many shocked onlookers, Chu Xiao climbed onto the back of the most ferocious scorpion-tailed lion and sat down.

  At his command, the lead scorpion-tailed lion walked down the mountain slope, with the other seven following closely on either side, like troops awaiting inspection, their footsteps very much in sync.

  "How can this be?"

  "Once, a candidate communicated with eight Scorpio Lions at the same time and even gave them orders. What's more, one of the Scorpio Lions was willing to let the candidate sit on its back. Isn't this too unbelievable?"

  "Yes, I've never seen anything like this before. Even Li Feng six years ago only managed to summon a group of striped lions to follow him, but he couldn't do something on this scale."

  "Perhaps it's because we spirit beast tamers who have been in contact with the Scorpion-tailed Lion for years can achieve this level."

  "This guy is too formidable, summoning eight Scorpion Tails at once."

  "I managed to communicate with a top-notch Purple Wind Eagle, and it took great effort to get it to follow me. I thought I was quite impressive, but compared to this person, the gap is just too huge!"

  "This is also too abnormal, even if it's a talent for being wild and untamed, how can it be done to this extent?"

  Many spiritual beast breeders and examinees saw this scene, all of them were shocked, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

  "It's strange, how did he do it? Grandfather said my innate wild heart talent has already reached the 8th rank, but I can only communicate with Qihutu beast at most, and cannot drive it at all."

  A hint of unusual color flashed in the girl's eyes, and she whispered to herself.

  Chu Xiao sat on the back of a scorpion-tailed lion, driving the lions down the mountain slope, just in time to see Chen Bing still communicating with that seven-colored deer in the distance.

  However, with the arrival of the scorpion-tailed lion, the seven-colored deer suddenly became restless and anxious. Although in this spiritual beast breeding ground, the two spiritual beasts can coexist peacefully, once they get too close, the seven-colored deer's instinctive fear of the scorpion-tailed lion group will still be triggered.

  This made Chen Bing trouble, his communication with the seven-color deer was quite smooth, and he could already touch the head of the seven-color deer. The seven-color deer suddenly shook its head, and Chen Bing was knocked to the ground, then it kicked its hooves and ran away.

  Chen Bing fell heavily and gazed at the distant seven-colored deer with a desire to cry but no tears.

  He was soon able to gain recognition from the Qī Cǎi Mílù, but now that things have come to this, all his efforts have been in vain.

  When he saw the scorpion-tailed lions walking towards him, especially Chu Xiao on the back of a scorpion-tailed lion, his eyes almost popped out.

  "Chu, Chu, Chu Xiao, you're amazing, how did you do it?"

  Chen Bing let out an exclamation of surprise.

  "Hehe, Chen Bing, your seven-colored deer has run away."

  Chu Xiao laughed and said.

  Chen Bing suddenly became tearful, "I'm really too tragic, just about to succeed, and then these scorpion-tailed lions scared away the seven-colored deer."

  Chu Xiao also felt a bit uneasy and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, I'll give you one of the lion's tails."

  "How can this be? These proctors recognize you, not me! Forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky. Looks like I'll have to take the exam for the fourth time."

  Chen Bing said with great regret.

  Failure in the spiritual beast breeding exam means that the score will be zero, and no matter how good other basic subjects are, they are useless.

  "Haha, you don't believe it, right?"

  Chu Xiao looked at Chen Bing and didn't believe him, so he immediately shouted to a small, underage Liontaur next to him: "Xinba, play with him for a bit, and listen to what he says!"

  He gave all scorpion-tailed lions a name.

  It's strange to say that the scorpion-tailed lion named Simba seemed to understand what was being said, and it trotted to Chen Bing's front, circling around him.

  Although Xinba was not an adult, it looked like a huge creature, surrounded by such a dangerous scorpion-tailed lion. Chen Bing's back felt a chill and after a while, he exclaimed in shock: "Chu Xiao, can I really control it?"

  "Of course, just try it and you'll know."

  "Alright, then I'll give it a try, but if it gets temperamental, you'd better stop it right away!"

  Chen Bing's face showed a hint of joy, but he was still quite worried.

  "Go ahead and try!"

  Chen Bing took a deep breath and then used the basic method of spiritual beast communication to drive this scorpion-tailed lion.

  It's strange to say, but this lion with a scorpion tail really did what he asked for.

  "Chu Xiao, you're really amazing! How did you manage to make the Scorpio Lion so obedient?"

  Chen Bing was overjoyed.

  He never thought he could control a powerful Scorpion Lion so easily, but he also knew it was all thanks to Chu Xiao, and immediately asked with great anticipation.

  "Hehe, even if I tell you, you won't learn it anyway. Alright, time is almost up, let's just hurry up and finish the exam task first."

  Chu Xiao smiled and immediately drove the scorpion-tailed lion group towards the gathering point.

  Chen Bing took one look at Chu Xiao riding the scorpion-tailed lion and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. She gritted her teeth and climbed onto the back of the scorpion-tailed lion as well. The scorpion-tailed lion didn't resist, which only added to Chen Bing's surprise. She quickly urged it on, following closely behind Chu Xiao.

  And this scene was seen by everyone on the high platform in the distance, all of whom looked at it with extreme shock.
