Chapter 406 - 324: Genius Is Just the Threshold to Meet Him, Blood Eagle Martial Exhibition!
(Yesterday’s Chapter didn’t feel well-written, so I’ve revised the last few paragraphs. If you’ve subscribed, feel free to revisit it.)
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to one spot.
On the battlefield, the gaze of everyone, including the Zhou Gu General Star and Captain Chen Bin, was fixed on the foodie beside Su Mu.
Everyone present had long dealt with fierce beasts, and as members of the Blood Eagle Team, they each possessed a Blood Eagle. Their understanding of Blood Eagles often exceeded their understanding of themselves.
The Blood Eagle’s veins flowed with the bloodline of a Tier Eight Grandmaster Level Red Blood Python Finch. The Red Blood Python Finch was an innately powerful fierce beast race that could even battle with creatures of the Flood Dragon Species at the same tier.
Such fierce beasts with high-tier fierce beast bloodlines usually have far superior strength compared to ordinary fierce beasts of the same tier. As descendants in the collateral line, Blood Eagles inherit this overwhelming strength beyond their tier, as well as the rebellious nature of the Red Blood Python Finch to some extent.
Even after generations of selection by fierce beast experts in the Southern War Zone to pick out Blood Eagles friendly to humans for breeding, it was still incredibly challenging for Blood Eagle Warriors to completely tame a Blood Eagle.
Therefore, at this moment, the expressions of the Blood Eagle Warriors changed dramatically, showing a mix of dazed shock and disbelief.
They could feel their Blood Eagle companions trembling and fearful. Though seasoned in battle, they had encountered similar situations before, but only during secret missions in the Giant Beast Cave.
Before Zhou Haiqing’s eyes suddenly appeared a massive Red Flame Fierce Bear over thirty meters in size, marking his closest encounter with death.
This was during a real combat drill by the Blood Eagle Team on the fifth floor of the Giant Beast Cave, targeting the hunting of grandmaster-level fierce beasts within the cave.
However, an unexpected incident arose.
An eight-tier grandmaster-level Red Flame Fierce Bear from deeper within the Giant Beast Cave suddenly barged in.
That time, Zhou Haiqing sensed his Xiaohuo trembling and fearful.
Fortunately, Captain Chen Bin was present then, courageously confronting the Tier Eight Red Flame Fierce Bear alone, calmly directing everyone to arrange themselves in formation, using the intruding Red Flame Fierce Bear directly as the target for battle array practice.
The team, which included many newcomers at the time, successfully used the battle array to kill that Tier Eight Red Flame Fierce Bear.
From that time onward, Zhou Haiqing developed immense admiration for Captain Chen Bin, not only for his strength but for his composed charisma in the face of adversity.
And in that very moment...
Zhou Haiqing once again felt the same encounter, wondering if it was an illusion, as this time the fear transmitted by Xiaohuo was no lighter than the sudden encounter with the Red Flame Fierce Bear.
It felt even more intense...
This fear seemed to resonate on a soul level.
At this time, Zhou Haiqing was not the only one with this thought; it was a common notion shared by everyone on the battlefield.
"How is this even possible?"
"It must be just my imagination, or perhaps there’s some special ability in Su Mu General Star’s fierce beast regarding this..."
"Yes, definitely so, as this fierce beast hasn’t even formed a grandmaster’s force field, it couldn’t possibly be this powerful, even Captain Chen Bin couldn’t achieve this..."
Zhou Haiqing muttered while fixated on the foodie.
...
Su Mu sensed the incredulous and intense gazes from everyone, clearly understanding the foodie’s thoughts.
On one hand, the foodie is the descendant of a King Beast, and the cries of a thousand Blood Eagles on the battlefield were akin to a challenge. In the previous beast tide in Yun Province, anyone who did this was swiftly slain by Su Mu and the foodie.
Though this wasn’t crucial.
More so, because the little foodie had noticed Chen Bin’s probing towards him, clearly expressing dissatisfaction, venting on behalf of Su Mu.
"Not willing to suffer the slightest loss..."
"But I quite like that personality."
Su Mu’s lips curved slightly upwards, as he contentedly patted the foodie beside him.
Truth be told, even though the foodie is a descendant of a King Beast, possessing the potential to grow into a Tier Nine Martial Saint Level fierce beast, its current power isn’t quite on par with Su Mu.
During the Yun Province beast tide, Su Mu still needed to leverage the deterrence of the King Beast descendant to swiftly handle grandmaster-level fierce beasts, but currently, mere grandmaster-level fierce beasts can be disposed of effortlessly by Su Mu.
The foodie’s existing strength is no longer sufficient to aid Su Mu.
Su Mu considered leaving the foodie with Miaomiao and his daughter Xiaoyue; its nature of not suffering losses and being protective offers much reassurance.
Kindness invites trouble when not backed by strength.
And in the High Martial World, power is the ultimate truth.
"This period can be used to help increase the foodie’s strength."
"While I was away, the foodie’s physique has grown considerably, and Uncle Hong likely fed it quite a bit, though it’s unclear how much its strength has increased..."
"Might as well take this opportunity with the Blood Eagle Team to test the foodie’s strength."
The reason Su Mu readily accepted Zhou Gu’s invitation was not just due to war zone goodwill, but also with this consideration in mind.
Using the Southern War Zone’s elite force, the Blood Eagle Team, to test the foodie’s strength.
If this thought were revealed, many would deem Su Mu insane, for that was the Blood Eagle Team, where every member was the crème de la crème, warriors one in a thousand.
However, this is the reality, and what Su Mu intends to do.
It’s no fantasy tale either, as the foodie already possesses such potential, being the descendant of a King Beast!
"Old Zhou, Captain Chen, the foodie has been bad-tempered since young, let’s have the warriors begin the martial practice first."
Under everyone’s attention, Su Mu casually remarked.
