"Maybe you really don't have a talent for taming, little friend." (Yue Feng)
Said Yue Feng. In front of him was an 8 years old kid, sitting in front of 2 unmoving large magical beasts, with dead eyes while muttering.
"I thought this would be a piece of cake. I thought I could easily put a familiar crest with my mana. Why I still couldn't do it after trying a hundred times. Should I just kill these two? Maybe their meat would taste great..." (Leo)
Even they couldn't understand what this boy was saying. The two beasts in front of him shuddered after hearing his last sentence. Their instinct is telling them to run, but they can't move at all.
"Little friend, don't be discouraged. Maybe you should try normal animals first? Beginner tamer always try for small animals first you know? Don't you think trying to tame a large beast immediately without practice is kinda absurd?" (Yue Feng)
Yue Feng tried to comfort Leo.
"Haaahh~ you're right old man. But it is such a waste returning empty handed." (Leo)
Leo looked down, still feeling dejected.
"How about this little friend? I'll teach you something about beast taming. I know a thing or two about beast taming you know? I already see your method, but mine is a bit different." (Yue Feng)
Leo looked at Yue Feng uninterested.
"In exchange for what?" (Leo)
Yue Feng smiled at Leo then said.
"I really like you little friend. You're really smart. I only have one condition. If you manage to succeed taming a creature using my technique. Accept me as your master." (Yue Feng)
Leo, stared at the old man, then asked.
"Why are you so fixated on having me as a disciple? You could find someone else other than me, you know?" (Leo)
"Little friend, you are a reincarnated person right?" (Yue Feng)
Hearing this, Leo looked at Yue Feng with disbelief. He unconsciously raises his guard and distances himself to Yue Feng.
"How did you know?" (Leo)
Leo said with grave tone, and released a killing intent.
"Then I'm right. Hoho." (Yue Feng)
Yue Feng didn't mind the action of Leo. He just smiled and explained.
"You don't have to be on guard, and how did I find it out? It's simple. It's because of your spiritual energy, and on how you act. You are quite mature and ruthless for your age." (Yue Feng)

"My personality? What's wrong with my personality? And what is spiritual energy?" (Leo)
"You don't know what spiritual energy is? It's the energy you used to heal me." (Yue Feng)
"Mana? What's wrong with my mana?" (Leo)
"So you called it mana huh. Then let's call it that. Your mana is so pure. It's comparable to an early Xantian stage cultivator." (Yue Feng)
Yue Feng looked at Leo in his eyes. As if telling Leo that 'I know what stage you are!'. He became confident when he saw Leo's confused face and disbelief.
[Yeah, I can't believe it. But-]
"What is Xiantian stage?" (Leo)
"Eh?" (Yue Feng)
"Eh?" (Leo)
Now, the one who's disbelief is Yue Feng.
"What did you say?" (Yue Feng)
Leo looked at Yue Feng with weird eyes. But he still repeated his question.
"I said, what is the Xiantian stage?" (Leo)
Suddenly, Yue Feng appeared in front of Leo and grabbed his shoulder again.
"Eh?! Don't tell me you achieved Xantian Stage without knowing?!" (Yue Feng)
"What the fuck are you saying?! Let go of me! My bones are breaking!" (Leo)
Hearing Leo's shout, he immediately let go.
"Oh! Sorry little friend!" (Yue Feng)
"Fuck! I think you dislocated my shoulder!" (Leo)
Leo cast healing magic to himself while distancing to Yue Feng, again.
"So? What the hell are you talking about?" (Leo)
"Little friend, what cultivation bases do you have in this realm?" (Yue Feng)
"What's that? Cultivating plants?" (Leo)
This time, Yue Feng couldn't stay calm anymore. He asked a barrage of questions with his voice getting louder and louder.
"You don't know what cultivation is?!" (Yue Feng)
"Like I said, what the fuck are you talking about? I know what cultivation is. It's the act of cultivating plants, right?" (Leo)
"Plants?! Then why is your spiritual energy.. Your mana is so pure!?" (Yue Feng)
"I just used it until I fainted everyday." (Leo)
"When did you start using it?!" (Yue Feng)
"Like you said. I'm a reincarnated person. I'm using magic a month after being born." (Leo)
"Then how come your body is strong?!" (Yue Feng)
"I used my mana. I circulate it throughout my whole body." (Leo)
"Fuucccck! What's wrong with this realm?!" (Yue Feng)
Yue Feng couldn't stand it anymore and roared. His roar caused the nearby trees to shake and echoed. It even scared away the surrounding magical beasts.
[What?! It even scared magical beasts?!]
Leo stared at this old man vigilantly. Still on his guard, afraid of this crazy old man.
But after shouting, Yue Feng immediately calmed down and fell silent. Sorting out all the information he gathered.
After some time, he looked at Leo earnestly.
"Little friend, will you accept me as your master? I assure you if you accept me as your master. You will soar in the sky. You will become the most powerful man in this realm and can live for thousands of years. But if you want to become immortal, you need to ascend to the immortal realm and fight the heavens. As for why I want you to become my disciple? It's just, I just want to leave my legacy. I'm dying, and I estimate that I'll die in 7 years, 8 years if I'm lucky." (Yue Feng)
"So precise? How did you know you'll die in 7 years?" (Leo)
"My dantian, which is my foundation, was already shattered by the heavenly lightning. With my dantian being destroyed, my cultivation also dissipated, which means all of my spiritual energy I cultivated for hundreds of years , which also prolonged my lifespan, is now gone. Do you know what's the worst part? That no one would remember me once I died. I am a lone cultivator. But still, I still want to leave my legacy, just to say that, I, Yue Feng, even though I died. Still fought the heavens till the end. No… who am I kidding? I just want others to remember me, to respect me even if I'm not here anymore!" (Yue Feng)
Saying this, Yue Feng got dejected and stop talking.
When Leo saw this, he remembered his last thoughts before he died in his previous life.
After some time, after thinking it through. After considering the pro's and con's after he became this old man's disciple. He finally accepted it.
"I still couldn't understand what you were saying. But if you just want to leave your legacy. Then so be it." (Leo)
Hearing what Leo said. Yue Feng's face immediately lit up!
"Really?!" (Yue Feng)
"Yes, yes. I'll become your disciple. Happy now?" (Leo)
"Of course! Of course! Then, let's do the ceremony immediately!" (Yue Feng)
"Ceremony? What's that?" (Leo)
"Hoho, you just need to kowtow to me three times and greet me as your master!" (Yue Feng)
"Kowtow? The hell are you talking about?" (Leo)
"Hoho. It's a simple ceremony, little friend. You just need to kneel in front of me, then bow your head til you touch the ground with your head!" (Yue Feng)
"Hell fucking no! You're the one who needs to kowtow! You're the one who's begging me! Fuck!" (Leo)
"But that's the ceremony! We can't become master and disciple if you don't do that!" (Yue Feng)
"Hell fucking no!" (Leo)
Yue Feng and Leo started to bicker, attracting the magical beasts again into that area.
But they didn't mind it and just killed the one who approached them while still bickering.
With that, the corpse of a magical beast started to pile up, and their blood attracted even more magical beasts. It became an endless cycle.
