Only My Way

Unlike Wu Yanlian, who knew nothing of the matter,

Xi Xianlan and Bai Jingzhu, as individuals whose strength had long since reached the [Spirit Nurturing Realm], had both sensed a certain mental force that suddenly burst forth from Ling Wuyuan at that very moment.

It was a mental force that even they had to regard with caution.

Its speed was simply breathtaking!

Of course, what concerned them most was the feeling of absolute and invincible power.

Since mental force is a reflection of the mind, Ling Wuyuan made no attempt to conceal it.

In an instant,

they felt the firmness and strength of his will reach a terrifying level.

The black dragon's eyes had been filled with ferocity and cunning, and it was undoubtedly extremely unruly.

Yet, in a short moment, its consciousness was completely altered, becoming docile, or rather, fanatical…

Clearly,

the black dragon's mind was completely breached in a very short time, unable to offer even the slightest resistance to Ling Wuyuan's mental force.

Moreover, even its thoughts and mind were deeply influenced by Ling Wuyuan, completely becoming an object manipulated by him…

After the black dragon approached,

Bai Jingzhu, gazing at the docility and fervor in its eyes, curiously extended her finger and created a deep, bone-revealing wound on its tail from a distance.

Seeing that it had no reaction whatsoever, she curiously asked Ling Wuyuan:

"Did you use some kind of beast control technique?"

She understood that its current docility must have a reason.

Otherwise, ordinary control methods would not be enough to achieve such an effect.

After all, pain is one of the most primal stimuli for living beings.

Generally speaking, it should have reacted somewhat to that level of injury.

Facing her inquiry,

Ling Wuyuan immediately nodded.

"Yes."

"This is a technique I casually noted down from a book before, and today is the first time I've used it."

"I can sense that, while its overall combat power has been largely preserved, its ferocity or independence has been greatly reduced.

Even if you killed it without my command, it wouldn't react much.

The actual taming effect should be considered quite successful."

Bai Jingzhu was somewhat taken aback by his modest words.

Because this world is home to ferocious beasts, demon beasts, and other brutal creatures,

beast taming is naturally a long-standing and extremely profound art.

Many sects and forces even rely entirely on their exclusive beast-taming techniques to establish themselves.

Among them,

lower-level beast-taming methods are often similar to dog training, usually forming natural domestication through various habitual reactions and behaviors, or long-term punishment and rewards.

Mid-level beast-taming methods are based on the above behaviors, supplemented by special drugs and even various talisman tools.

As for the superior beast-taming methods, it is the mental force that Ling Wuyuan is currently using, coupled with various techniques.

This is a direct influence from the mental aspect!

It is far more direct and stable than the other two methods mentioned above!

Once successfully tamed, the effect is basically permanent!

However, the threshold for using this method is undoubtedly a bit high…

At least, 99.999% of the guys in this world simply do not have the prerequisites…

Even if they work hard all their lives,

they will not be able to reach the threshold for using this method at all.

Of course,

even superior beast-taming methods still have many unavoidable flaws.

For example, it is difficult to be effective against targets with relatively strong strength, or the effect will be greatly reduced for targets with relatively high intelligence…

Therefore, hearing that Ling Wuyuan was only using it for the first time, he instantly controlled a black dragon whose strength was probably on par with the [Qi Nourishing Realm], and even controlled it to the point where its life and death were not its own… she was truly surprised.

She understood that, to be honest, even those in the sect who specialized in studying beast control and taming would probably find it difficult to do better than Ling Wuyuan, and would most likely be far inferior.

For a time,

she couldn't help but recall the importance that the various elders in the sect attached to Ling Wuyuan, the scramble for Ling Wuyuan's spare time by the various [Cultivation Institutes]…

She also recalled certain words that her master, Yuan Yujun, had once said to her.

At that time,

she was wondering why so many [Cultivation Institutes] were vying for Ling Wuyuan's free time.

Moreover, the directions of the techniques studied by those [Cultivation Institutes] were completely unrelated.

She couldn't understand why those who studied vocal music, herbs, recipes, and puppets… wanted to snatch the same person.

What connection did those skills have??

However,

the answer she received was a bit unexpected.

"Jingzhu,"

"Although you and I, in the eyes of ordinary people and even ordinary geniuses, are both exceptionally talented people, belonging to the kind who can easily walk at the forefront of their peers in cultivation…"

"But comparing goods should be discarded, and comparing people should die."

"This world ultimately has super geniuses that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, super geniuses whose talents are so strong that they completely defy common sense."

"Ordinary geniuses, in front of them, are actually no different from ordinary people."

"And Wuyuan… is that level of genius."

"Compared to him, the reason why everyone can be called a genius is only because this title is usually used indiscriminately on various outstanding people, and does not mean that there is really any practical comparability between everyone."

"There is no need to deliberately work hard."

"He only needs to roughly go through many techniques in his mind, and he can automatically master those techniques to a level that ordinary people cannot reach even if they spend a lifetime."

"And so-called geniuses, many times, even if they spend their entire lives specializing in a certain technique, they may only be able to match two or three thoughts of his when he is extremely bored."

"It is precisely because of this that, even knowing that he will not put all his energy and time into what he is good at, the elders still yearn to lead him to the path they like, yearning for him to reach the realm that they cannot reach, that is some kind of sustenance…"

Originally, Bai Jingzhu still felt that her master was exaggerating a bit.

Even when she spoke,

her face also carried a kind of inexplicable emotion and solemnity.

After all… Yuan Yujun's statement was too exaggerated!

But now that she thought about it,

perhaps, her master was simply telling the truth.

'It's clearly just some beast control technique that was casually learned, and even the first time it has been officially used, but it can still leave many so-called geniuses far behind after their long-term efforts.'

'The gap is really so big that it defies common sense…'

For a time,

even Bai Jingzhu, whose mentality has always been good, felt the unevenness of life…

It was not until Ling Wuyuan signaled her to stand on the back of the black dragon that she gradually came back to her senses.

"Next, I will have it lead us to find the most powerful creature and the most precious thing in this vicinity, to see if the other party has the value of hunting or acquiring."

In the next moment,

the black dragon flapped its wings and, like a heavy bomber, sped off in a certain direction!
