The Mark That Hid the Secret of Exotic Beasts

"I suddenly felt... a terrible pain in my chest." Lu Feng clutched his chest, his facial expression twisting in agony as his whole body trembled.

"What's going on? A Feng, don't scare me!" Fatty Shen immediately panicked.

Hong Tiejun hurriedly supported him. "Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary right now."

The three had barely taken a few steps when, as soon as they moved away from the room holding the Exotic Beast, Lu Feng's body suddenly returned to normal.

"It seems... I'm fine now."

He stopped walking. The burning sensation in his chest was gone, replaced by a warm current of energy flowing through his Birthmark.

"How could this happen?" Lu Feng was filled with confusion.

Why had the Birthmark on his body suddenly reacted like this?

Could it... be related to that Exotic Beast just now?

"Tiejun, can we go back and take another look?"

"Fine, but the moment you feel unwell, we leave immediately."

The three returned.

Inside the specially designed room, the Shadow Leopard was still quietly lying where it had been.

When Lu Feng looked through the glass again, an invisible force suddenly surged from the Exotic Beast's body toward the Birthmark on his chest.

The searing pain struck again, and Lu Feng unconsciously clenched his fists.

He understood now—the Birthmark on his body could absorb the Shadow Leopard's energy. The process was simply excruciating, several times worse than tempering his body at school.

"Look! That Exotic Beast seems to have calmed down!"

Fatty Shen noticed the Shadow Leopard's change as well, his round face full of shock.

"This is damn bizarre..."

Hong Tiejun wore the same look of disbelief.

Ever since it had been locked up, the Shadow Leopard had been exceptionally violent, frequently ramming the walls like it had gone mad. It had been especially aggressive whenever it saw humans.

"No, I need to tell My Dad about this."

This Exotic Beast had been brought here to be Tamed in the first place. Looking at This Appearance, it probably would not even need Three Months to be Tamed.

Hong Tiejun's Communicator was quickly connected. A burly Middle-aged Man over six foot three, dressed in a suit, appeared on the holographic Virtual Screen.

He was Hong Tiejun's Old Man, the owner of Skyfire Club, Hong Kun.

When Hong Kun saw his son standing outside the room holding the Exotic Beast, his Facial Expression immediately changed. "You brat, who told you to go over there? How many times have I told you not to go near that Exotic Beast? Did you take my words as wind in your ears?"

"Dad! Come back quickly! This leopard seems to have been Tamed. Look at it now."

Hong Tiejun aimed the Communicator's camera at the Shadow Leopard. The once-ferocious giant Exotic Beast was lying on the ground, its massive head pressed against the floor, as docile as a house cat.

At the sight, Hong Kun could not help rubbing his eyes hard.

The Shadow Leopard was an Exotic Beast unique to the Tianshu-X9 Planet. Fierce and irritable by nature, military experience indicated that it would take at least three to six months before it could possibly be Tamed.

This Shadow Leopard had only been transported from the military a week ago. How could it have suddenly become so obedient?

"You brat, stay right there. I'll be there immediately."

After saying that, Hong Kun hurriedly ended the call and rushed toward the club.

Meanwhile, Lu Feng was still crouched at the room's entrance, gritting his teeth. The veins on his forehead bulged as cold sweat streamed down his face.

The immense energy within the Shadow Leopard continued pouring into the Birthmark on his chest without end.

With it came a blazing agony that tore at his nerves again and again, as though it would rip apart even his soul.

He understood that the Birthmark on his chest was some kind of inheritance he had obtained after his rebirth. It could suppress interstellar Exotic Beasts and draw upon their power.

But this feeling hurt like fucking hell.

"A Feng! We should get out of here now."

Seeing him look as though he was about to die, Fatty Shen's heart leaped into his throat.

After ending the call, Hong Tiejun quickly helped him outside as well.

If Search Book Title does not work, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!

"Let's get out of here first. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to your family."

The three went to a nearby lounge, and the intense pain in Lu Feng's chest immediately vanished.

Hong Tiejun brought over a chair and helped him sit down, asking with a puzzled expression:

"Lu Feng, what exactly is going on? Why are you in such pain whenever you get near that Exotic Beast, while it becomes so docile?"

"I'm not sure either."

Lu Feng's voice still trembled slightly with pain.

After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and carefully sensed the energy stored within the Birthmark. Naturally, he would not reveal the Birthmark's secret to anyone.

Seeing that he did not want to say more, Hong Tiejun did not press him further.

"What's going on? I can clearly sense this energy, so why can't I use it?"

Lu Feng kept his eyes closed, his brows unconsciously furrowing.

Although the energy in the Birthmark on his chest was abundant, it seemed sealed within an invisible container. He could sense it but not grasp it, much less turn it to his own use.

"You brat! Where are you?"

At that moment, Hong Kun's voice came from outside the room.

Hearing him, Hong Tiejun immediately ran out.

"Dad! Look, that Shadow Leopard is still lying there obediently!"

Hong Kun was already standing outside the room holding the Exotic Beast. Sure enough, the Shadow Leopard was still lying docilely on the ground, looking weak and listless.

"How did it become like this? It looks much weaker."

"It seems to be because of my classmate. The moment the Exotic Beast saw him, it became especially docile. But during that time, my classmate was also in a lot of pain."

"There's such a thing?"

As Hong Kun spoke, he had already taken out a key and prepared to open the iron door.

"Dad...!"

Hong Tiejun was startled by his father's sudden action.

"Relax. Even at its peak, this beast would not be a match for your Dad."

As Hong Kun spoke, he pulled open the door and strode inside.

The Shadow Leopard still did not react to the approaching human.

Even when Hong Kun reached out to touch its head, it did not move in the slightest.

"Ha ha! Looks like I can report back to the military ahead of schedule." Hong Kun laughed heartily as he walked out of the room. "Come on, take me to see your classmate."

The two came to the lounge next door. The moment Fatty Shen saw Hong Kun, he hurriedly stood up. "Uncle Hong!"

Lu Feng also opened his eyes and greeted him politely.

"Feeling better?" Hong Kun walked over to Lu Feng and asked with concern.

"Much better. Thank you for asking, Uncle."

"Can you tell me how you made that Shadow Leopard become so docile?"

"I'm not sure either." Lu Feng shook his head.

No matter what, he could not reveal the Birthmark's secret.

Hong Kun watched him, thinking to himself, Does This Kid truly not know, or is he unwilling to say?

But it was not convenient for him to keep pressing, so he turned to his son. "How did you end up bringing your classmate here?"

Hong Tiejun hurriedly explained, "Lu Feng came to apply for a job. Dad, haven't you been expanding your Manpower lately? Why not recruit my classmate too?"

"Apply for a job?"

A sharp gleam flashed in Hong Kun's eyes.

Perfect. If he recruited Lu Feng into the club, he could test whether Lu Feng had merely Tamed the Shadow Leopard by accident, or whether he truly possessed some Special Ability to tame Exotic Beasts.

He looked at Lu Feng. "I can make a special exception and recruit you into the club, but on one condition!"
