The Boss's Calculation: This Kid Must Have a Huge Secret!

Just as he reached the Holding Cell, he saw Hong Kun waiting there.

"Quick, take a look. What's going on?"

Lu Feng moved closer to the glass window in the iron door and saw the Shadow Leopard crazily ramming the door, roaring without pause.

The heavy custom-made iron door boomed with every impact, and the whole room shook violently.

Yet the instant it saw Lu Feng, the Shadow Leopard immediately quieted down, lying prone on the ground, as docile as a house cat.

At the same time, another stream of energy surged from its body toward Lu Feng's chest, followed by an intense burning sensation.

Lu Feng quickly braced himself against the iron door, doing his best to make it seem like nothing had changed.

He was afraid that if Hong Kun noticed his pain, he would make him leave as soon as possible.

He could not leave. He had to seize the chance to absorb more energy from Exotic Beasts.

It was also then that he noticed several deep wounds on the Shadow Leopard's back, clearly inflicted by an Alloy Sharp Blade.

It seemed that its injuries were why it had suddenly become violent.

Clearly, Hong Kun had done this on purpose.

He had enraged the Shadow Leopard to test whether Lu Feng could truly tame a rampaging Exotic Beast at any time.

When Hong Kun saw the Shadow Leopard instantly become docile before Lu Feng, he was utterly shocked.

How exactly had this kid done it?

Humans mainly relied on violent methods to tame Exotic Beasts, repeatedly beating them to wear down their wild nature, then rewarding them with beef, mutton, and other food to create a taming method that combined force and favor.

This process was usually long and unstable. It could take one or two years before an Exotic Beast completely submitted.

To improve efficiency, humans had developed a Mental Potion. Once injected into an Exotic Beast, it could greatly shorten the taming process, reducing it to as little as three to six months.

Yet Lu Feng only needed a single glance to make this violent Shadow Leopard as obedient as a house cat.

Could this kid... possess the innate physique of a Beast Tamer?

"Lu Feng! How did you make it so docile?"

Hong Kun could not help asking again.

"Uncle Hong! I really don't know."

No matter how many times he asked, Lu Feng could never reveal his secret.

"Fine. Go back for now. If anything unusual happens with this Exotic Beast again, I'll contact you."

"Okay!"

After Lu Feng left, Hong Kun stood alone outside the Holding Cell, staring at the Shadow Leopard inside for a long time.

After being soothed by Lu Feng's gaze, the beast seemed incapable of going berserk again and simply lay there quietly.

"I don't know how he did it, but as long as he can bring me benefits, I can't let an opportunity like this slip away."

"Still, I need to confirm whether he can tame every Exotic Beast."

June 14 was Lu Feng's second day working at Skyfire Club.

Just like yesterday, he worked in the workshop with veteran employee Liu Yuan and Fatty Shen Yu, maintaining Mecha.

After breaking through to the Second Realm of Martial Arts, Lu Feng could clearly feel his strength had increased.

Especially when dismantling Mecha limbs. Yesterday, he had needed to exert all his strength just to carry them, but today it felt effortless.

Still, whenever he dismantled or reassembled them, he put on an exhausted act. He did not want anyone to discover that he had broken through.

At around three in the afternoon, the trio working in the workshop was suddenly interrupted.

"Lu Feng! Stop working for now and come with me. I'll take you somewhere fun."

The one who had come was the club's Young Master, Hong Tiejun.

"Where?"

"You'll know when we get there."

"But I'm not off work yet." Lu Feng did not want to go, nor was he particularly curious.

Hong Tiejun was a rich second-generation heir, so he naturally had plenty of entertainment options.

But Lu Feng was different. All he thought about was growing stronger and giving his family a better life.

"Stop dragging your feet. Come on! If you go with me, your monthly salary will go up by two thousand starting this month!"

The moment those words were spoken, Liu Yuan and Fatty Shen turned to look at them in unison.

A raise could be handed out so casually? Just like that?

Even Lu Feng stopped what he was doing and looked at Hong Tiejun. "Can you really make that decision?"

After all, Hong Kun was the real boss.

"Of course I can! Actually... my dad was the one who said he'd give you a raise. But there's one condition—you have to come out with me!"

Lu Feng was stunned. Hong Kun did not seem like the sort of person who spoiled his son so much. He would pay extra just for someone to keep him company?

Fatty Shen hurried over. "Tiejun! If he won't go with you, I will! Give me that two-thousand raise instead!"

"Get lost." Hong Tiejun shoved him away. "Go do your work."

After saying that, he ignored whether Lu Feng was willing or not, grabbed his arm, and dragged him outside.

Lu Feng could not resist him, and in the end, Hong Tiejun pulled him into a Luxury Car.

More than half an hour later.

The car arrived outside an extremely luxurious and expansive estate.

At that moment, a steady stream of vehicles flowed through the entrance, with countless Luxury Cars driving in one after another.

Quite a few Low Altitude Aircraft also sliced through the evening sky and landed directly in the courtyard plaza, giving the entire estate an extraordinary air of excitement.

At the center of the estate Stands an independent circular courtyard, crowned by a huge gray-blue dome. The surrounding stone walls were carved with images of all sorts of savage Exotic Beasts.

"This is... a Beast Fighting Arena?"

The moment Lu Feng got out of the car, he recognized the place at a glance.

Though he had never been here before, he had watched many Beast Fighting Arena match videos online.

As its name implied, the Beast Fighting Arena was a place where people watched Exotic Beasts from different planets fight and slaughter one another.

The scenes were thrilling, shocking, and extremely bloody, yet they were greatly favored by many powerful and wealthy people.

Not only on Tianlan Star—such places existed on every planet inhabited by humans.

Beast fighting matches had already formed a complete industrial chain in the Human World.

Yet a single ticket cost tens of thousands of Star Martial Coins, and anyone entering to watch a match had to place a bet, with no single wager allowed below one hundred thousand Star Martial Coins.

Therefore, this was simply not a place Ordinary People could afford to visit.

Lu Feng had not expected Hong Tiejun to bring him here.

Perfect. He could use this chance to test whether the Mark on his chest could absorb energy from Exotic Beasts originating from different planets.

Hong Tiejun effortlessly bought two tickets and led Lu Feng toward the interior of the Beast Fighting Arena.

The moment they entered, the view opened up before them.

At the center stood a massive arena spanning three to four hundred meters, its edges enclosed by chains forged from special alloy.

Tens of thousands of seats rose in layers around the arena, making it look at first glance like the venue for a grand concert.

Many elegantly dressed spectators were entering one after another, finding their seats according to their tickets.

The stands were divided into three tiers: the most basic were the outer seats, nearly a thousand meters from the central arena, with each ticket costing twenty thousand Star Martial Coins;

The slightly better seats were in the middle rows, around five hundred meters from the arena;

The highest-class seats were the inner-field seats, nearly pressed against the bottom of the arena itself. Once the match began, every detail of the Exotic Beasts onstage could be seen clearly.

Hong Tiejun had bought two middle-row tickets, spending a total of one hundred thousand Star Martial Coins.

When tickets were purchased at the venue, Staff would also hand out a betting device specifically for placing wagers on matches.

Before each fight began, spectators had to blindly guess which Exotic Beast would win, then place their bets through the device.
