Chapter 251: I’m Really Not Doing This On Purpose

Zhang Che was very satisfied when he saw Liu Gang and the others’ expression.
He didn’t know if the reason for the three of them not speaking much was because of them looking down on him or not, but it was still very much necessary to display his strength a little during this opportune time.
This way, they would actually do their best to coach him during the combat training.
After all, Huang Juyun wasn’t the only second generation in the Huang family. He still had an older brother working in one of the government departments. His two sons might not be willing to see Huang Juyun nurturing Zhang Che as his successor.
No matter what, someone from your own family was better than an outsider, right?
Zhang Che had also heard from Huang Tielan that her two cousins weren’t anything good, either. They were cla.s.sic spoiled brats, only good at indulging in the pleasures of life.
Since Huang Juyun was intent on nurturing him, Zhang Che naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by.
No matter how strong a person was, what could he accomplish by himself?
Take the matter in the Nine Military Bureaus, for instance. If he hadn’t had the Huang family behind him, G.o.ds knew what would have happened in the end…
In the best case scenario, his freedom would still be restricted.
As the saying went, “A man mustn’t go a day without power”. Before his strength reached a height where he could look down on everything, wielding direct or indirect authority was his best alternative.
So what if others whispered behind his back about him living off of a woman? Zhang Che wouldn’t mind any of that at all. They could say whatever they wanted; he wouldn’t lose even a strand of hair. Otherwise, would he have to break up with Miss Tienan to prove his innocence?
That would be really stupid.
Liu Gang and the others were dazzled for a good while before Zhang Che’s words registered in their minds. They didn’t refuse him after they reacted to the fact, either, and directly jumped onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back.
Liu Gang’s black tiger, however, was afraid to move forward. Liu Gang rubbed his temples and consoled him for a while before he dared to come up.
Seeing this, Zhang Che sighed inwardly, -As expected, even if a beastmaster gains the acknowledgment of exotic beasts and tames them as pets, they don’t dare to forcibly command them to do something they aren’t willing to, or their pets might retaliate against them.
-Hmm, my rainbow crystal is still the best! Once the soul rune is imprinted on them, they can only act obediently no matter how naughty they are.-
Take this moment. If it were any other ordinary pet, would the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon allow anyone other than his master to ride on his back, not to mention exotic beasts?
It was very unlikely!
“Brother Liu, please guide the way,” Zhang Che said. Afterwards, he had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly in the direction as pointed out.
When the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon accelerated, Liu Gang and the others’ faces revealed traces of surprise again. -This beast is actually able to ward off the oncoming wind when flying!
-As expected of a dragon-type exotic beast. Its all-around abilities are much better than other beasts!-
Five hundred kilometers truly wasn’t much for the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. Flying at his maximum speed, they reached their destination in barely half an hour’s time.
This made the three soldiers experience a mult.i.tude of emotions, retracting that little bit of contempt they had for Zhang Che in the beginning.
Without any help, once they were a distance away from the safety zone, Zhang Che could totally kill the three of them without any injuries, despite them being high-tier beastmasters.
High-tier beastmasters without powerful subdued beasts were actually nothing impressive. They could only display their powerful capabilities in close combat.
Of course, Zhang Che didn’t look down on the three of them.
They were only lacking high quality beasts. Otherwise, they could toy with him like they were toying with animals.
Moreover, with his herculean strength, it would truly be too much of a waste not to train his close combat skills.
———–
After they arrived, the few of them jumped off from the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back.
Liu Gang asked, “Zhang Che, what weapon are you using?”
Zhang Che didn’t reply to him. Instead, he directly summoned the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword into his hand.
They immediately fell silent…
Liu Gang and the others were thoroughly dumbstruck. -What the heck, how many more legend-quality subdued beasts does this young master have? Can you bring them out all in one go? You taking them out one by one is really making it hard on us!-
Zhang Che was helpless when he saw their astonished looks. -I’m really not doing this on purpose. I definitely didn’t have any intentions of showing off at all, I swear! My babies can testify for me!-
Liu Gang let out a dry cough and suggested, “Hrm, Zhang…Zhang-shao, uhm, do you have a beast card weapon that is lower in quality? If you use that sword, it won’t be very effective for training.”
Zhang Che didn’t try to change what Liu Gang called him again. The meaning behind this “Zhang-shao” and last night’s “Zhang-shao” were totally different. Thus, Zhang Che took it in stride.
“Lower in quality?” Zhang Che nodded and recalled the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword. Afterwards, he took out the Mutated Puffersword, which he hadn’t used in a long time, asking, “Will this do?”
Liu Gang and the others finally let out a long sigh of relief inwardly.
Luckily this grand young master didn’t bring out another legend-quality beast card weapon. Otherwise, how were the three of them going to continue living? They would die from envy!
Liu Gang nodded. He continued, “Also, Zhang-shao, can you get that subdued beast of yours to fly higher? I’m afraid it will frighten the exotic beasts on the ground. That way we might not be able to train properly.”
Zhang Che: … -So I can’t summon any of my capable boys?-
He had no choice but to get the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly at a higher alt.i.tude. In any case, if they were to get into any danger, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would be able to get to them in time with his speed.
Moreover, even if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon couldn’t make it in time, Zhang Che wouldn’t mind shocking Liu Gang and the others one more time, summoning out the Purple Crystal Tortoise and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.
If they knew what Zhang Che was thinking right now, G.o.ds knew what the look on their faces would be…
“Alright, Zhang-shao, I’ll demonstrate for you first,” Liu Gang nodded and walked into the valley ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Pang Dazhi and Yi Chong followed slightly behind him to his sides, forming a triangular formation, allowing them to support each other at any time.
-As expected of elites! Just their positioning alone is definitely something ordinary beastmasters don’t practice!- Zhang Che lamented inwardly, and hurriedly followed them.
He was very curious what Liu Gang was going to demonstrate to him. Could it be taking on exotic beasts with his bare hands?
That was unlikely…
Or, maybe each of them had their own beast card weapons, but had yet to bring them out.
The four quickly proceeded on. Just as they were about a hundred meters into the valley, they discovered the tracks of exotic beasts.
