Military Pressure, Hong Kun Reveals Lu Feng's Beast Taming Secret

The group arrived at the door of the Exotic Beast Holding Cell, and Xie An peered through the glass window at the beasts inside.

They were two creatures resembling greyhounds, but far larger, standing over two meters tall with legs alone reaching one and a half meters, and their temperaments were extremely violent.

Humans had named them "Wind Chasing Beasts."

The moment they spotted people outside the window, the Wind Chasing Beasts erupted in furious barking.

Xie An frowned. "Why haven't these two beasts been tamed yet?"

Beside him, Hong Kun feigned confusion. "Chief Xie, these two were only delivered last Friday. How could they possibly be tamed so quickly?"

Xie An turned to stare at him. "President Hong, I've checked. Your Skyfire Club has completed twenty-six taming contracts in the last two months, taming a total of forty-five Exotic Beasts."

Seeing Hong Kun stay silent, he continued:

"I know the Alliance has no law requiring civilian clubs to hand over special techniques to the government. But if you truly have a method to tame Exotic Beasts in a short time, I still hope you'll contribute it to the military. This would be of great significance to the entire Interstellar Alliance."

"I speak for the Jinzhou Military when I say that if you hand over the method, the Skyfire Club will not be treated poorly."

"Chief, you jest. We really don't have any Rapid Taming method." Hong Kun knew this was coming.

But he wasn't lying. The rapid taming all depended on That Kid, Lu Feng.

He couldn't just hand over a teenager barely in his teens.

Besides, he was counting on Lu Feng's ability to earn more Military Merit Points.

Seeing Hong Kun's firm stance, Xie An didn't press further.

"Fine. Consider today a wasted trip. Let's go!"

With that, he turned and led several soldiers away.

After a few steps, Xie An paused and looked back to add, "Your club's application to Join the Expedition is temporarily denied."

Hearing this, Hong Kun immediately panicked.

This was clearly a deliberate threat.

He rushed forward, blocking Xie An's path. "Chief Xie, you can't do this!"

"What have I done?"

"This matter and the expedition application are two different things!"

Xie An was blunt. "Expedition qualifications are decided by us, the military. Since your club is so self-serving, there's no need for you to accompany the military on campaign."

"No, Minister Xie..."

Hong Kun felt like his weak spot had been squeezed, unsure what to say.

Joining the expedition had been his dream for years.

If he lost that qualification, it would mean his Martial Path had no future.

Seeing him in This Appearance, Xie An found it amusing inside, but kept his face stern.

"Ah... forget it, I'll tell the truth." Hong Kun shook his head helplessly. "The truth is, we don't have any special taming method. Finishing so many orders in a short time all depends on one person."

"One person? Who?"

Hong Kun didn't answer. Instead, he opened his Communicator to contact Lu Feng.

Before long, Lu Feng hurried over from the mecha workshop.

Xie An immediately recognized him as the youngster he'd passed on the road earlier.

"Chief Xie, you're about to see something incredible." Hong Kun said, gesturing for Lu Feng to tame the two Wind Chasing Beasts.

The youngster walked to the door of the holding cell and looked through the glass at the beasts inside.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded—

The originally violent Wind Chasing Beasts, as if seeing a deity, suddenly lowered their bodies, becoming eerily quiet and docile.

Lu Feng wasn't sure what was happening. He just watched them silently, enduring the burning sensation in his chest as he continuously absorbed the energy from the beasts' bodies.

Search for the book title and you won't find it—try searching by the author instead. Maybe it just changed its name!

The surrounding military personnel, including Xie An, all crowded around, staring at the bizarre scene in disbelief.

With just a single look, he had made two ferocious beasts so obedient...

"How... how did he do that?" Xie An couldn't help asking.

Hong Kun spread his hands. "I don't know either. Even he can't explain it. It seems to be an innate ability of Lu Feng's."

"Something like that exists?" Xie An sized up the youngster with an incredulous look. "You're Lu Feng?"

"Mm." Lu Feng endured the sharp pain in his chest and nodded slightly.

"You... would you be willing to join the Alliance Military and become a member of the Jinzhou Base?"

No sooner had Xie An asked than he noticed the pained expression on the youngster's face. "What's wrong with you?"

Hong Kun quickly explained. "He's like this every time he tames an Exotic Beast. It looks painful, but he recovers once it's over."

"So that's how it is... Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders."

Xie An interrupted Lu Feng's taming process, pulling him aside and asking seriously once more: "Young Man, with such an incredible ability, have you considered joining the military? I guarantee your future will be limitless."

Looking at the middle-aged officer before him, Lu Feng was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Sorry, Officer, I don't want to join the military for now."

"Why? You should know that for an Ordinary Person to become a Soldier, they must pass the Martial Arts University entrance exam and reach at least the third Martial Realm. Once in the military, you'll gain access to resources ordinary people can't even imagine."

The Interstellar Alliance Army was the ruling power of this world.

The benefits of becoming a Soldier far surpassed what any ordinary civilian Warrior could obtain.

Faced with such an opportunity, almost no one would refuse.

Yet Lu Feng shook his head again: "I just want to be an Ordinary Person, earn some money, and give my family a better life."

He had his own considerations.

Joining the military certainly came with unimaginable perks, but right now Lu Feng's strength was too weak, and his Younger Sister was still in the hospital waiting for surgery.

More importantly, two months ago, his spot at Martial University had been taken from him.

That incident had planted a deep-seated distrust—even resentment—toward the Alliance in his heart.

Seeing his firm stance, Xie An didn't press further.

After all, even the military couldn't force an Ordinary Person to do what they didn't want.

He sighed, patted Lu Feng on the shoulder, and said: "Alright, since that's the case, we won't force you. If you ever change your mind, feel free to contact us anytime."

Hong Kun, standing nearby, was also surprised.

He hadn't expected Lu Feng to refuse the military's recruitment, which made it seem like the Skyfire Club had gotten lucky.

After leaving the club, Xie An said to one of his subordinates: "Immediately look up that young man's information. The more detailed, the better."

"Yes, sir!"

The subordinate Soldier immediately took out a military computer and quickly pulled up Lu Feng's detailed records from the Jinzhou resident system.

"Sir, Lu Feng is eighteen years old, lives in Xiangyang Residential Area, North City. His Parents are both ordinary workers. He has a Younger Sister, Lu Mingxue, thirteen years old, who suffers from congenital spinal nerve and muscle damage. She was admitted to Jinzhou People's Hospital yesterday, preparing for spinal nerve repair surgery..."

"Oh?" Xie An interrupted, "That surgery costs at least a million, right?"

"At least one point five million."

"His Parents are both ordinary workers—could they have saved that much?"

"The money was paid by Lu Feng himself. Last Friday, one million was transferred into his Personal Account."

"One million? Who transferred it?"

"The source can't be traced. It should have come from an official account."

The subordinate continued: "Also, two months ago, Lu Feng graduated from Jinzhou's Third Martial Arts High School with a college entrance exam score of 625. But strangely, his name doesn't appear in the university admission system."

Hearing this, Xie An's brow furrowed tightly: "What's going on?"
