Ferocious Beasts at the Door, an Alliance Forged

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Dragon City, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Council Hall.

The atmosphere in the sect today was solemn and dignified. Inside the main hall, Sect Master Yu Boxuan sat in the main seat, dressed in Golden Dragon Sect Master robe. His aura was profound and imposing, exuding authority without anger. To his left were the Elder Yu Qingtian, Elder Yu Boyu, Yu Mingfeng, and other core high-ranking members of the sect; to his right were Ye Kuan, the head of the Ye Family, Ye Zhilan, and her parents. Yu Yuanchen sat beside Ye Zhilan, his position seemingly casual, yet subtly forming a triangular formation with Yu Boxuan, his composed demeanor impossible to ignore.

Outside the main hall, the sect disciples stood solemnly, their expressions wary. Everyone knew that today, the mysterious envoy from the "Myriad Beast Sect" was about to arrive, and a meeting that could potentially influence the future of the sect was about to begin.

When the sun was high in the sky, a disciple's clear voice announced from outside the hall, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the envoy from the Myriad Beast Sect has arrived!"

Everyone in the hall perked up. Yu Boxuan said in a deep voice, "Please come in!"

As soon as the words were spoken, two completely different yet incomparably powerful auras slowly entered the main hall from afar.

The leader was a woman dressed in a long emerald green dress. She was stunningly beautiful, with a gentle and ethereal temperament, like a forest sprite. She exuded an extremely rich Life Aura, and just by standing there, one could feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, refreshed and relaxed.

However, those with profound Cultivation Level, Yu Boxuan and Yu Yuanchen, could clearly sense that beneath that gentle Life Aura lay a vast and unfathomable energy! Its Life level was far beyond that of ordinary Titled Douluo, even bringing them a faint sense of oppression.

"Ferocious Beast!" The thought flashed through Yu Boxuan and Yu Yuanchen's minds almost simultaneously. And it was no ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; its Cultivation Level was likely hundreds of thousands of years old! Yu Boxuan was knowledgeable and knew of terrifying beings in the world with Cultivation Level exceeding 100,000 years, called Ferocious Beast, but their specific types and locations were secrets. This woman before them was probably one of them! Why was she so openly displaying the aura of Soul Beast? Was it confidence, or some kind of declaration?

Half a step behind the woman in the green dress was a burly, red-haired man with an exceptionally robust physique. His face was rugged, his eyes gleaming with sharp light, and he exuded a scorching and violent aura, like a volcano about to erupt. He deliberately revealed most of his aura, and the Soul Power fluctuations he emitted had reached the level of a level 97 Super Douluo! He gave people an extremely strong sense of oppressive power.

Yu Boxuan's pupils contracted slightly. Level 97! The same level as him! This Myriad Beast Sect is indeed incredibly powerful! Even its attendant has such strength!

"Jade Swan, Bi Ji, has come to pay a visit to Sect Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on the Sect Master Yu of the Sect Master." The woman in the green dress nodded slightly, her voice soft and melodious, like a clear spring flowing, directly stating her identity and race with grace and poise.

"The Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff, the Scarlet King." The red-haired giant's voice was deep and hoarse, like the grinding of rocks. He spoke concisely, revealing his true identity but not his Cultivation Level. However, the aura of Super Douluo was clearly evident.

Bi Ji! Scarlet King!

Yu Boxuan, Ye Kuan, and the others were shocked once again! Although they did not know the specific Cultivation Level and years, the Jade Swan and the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff were both renowned top-tier races among Soul Beast, and their Ferocious Beast identities were beyond doubt! One was a peak Healing System, and the other was a Power Attack System. The envoy sent by the Myriad Beast Sect was of great importance and showed great sincerity (to demonstrate strength) and profound meaning (attribute matching).

"So it's Senior Bi Ji and Senior Scarlet King. I've long admired your names. Your presence is an honor to our sect. Please take a seat!" Yu Boxuan stood up, clasped his hands in return, and spoke with neither servility nor arrogance, displaying the demeanor of a great sect leader. The other party had revealed their true form and name, and although they were Soul Beast, they represented the "Myriad Beast Sect" at this moment, making them guests, and proper etiquette could not be disregarded.

The two sides took their seats as host and guest, and the disciples served fragrant tea.

Bi Ji's gaze swept over everyone present, lingering briefly on Ye Zhilan. She sensed the Life Aura emanating from Ye Zhilan that was of the same origin as her own, as well as the subtle fluctuations of the Plant Spirit Beast contract. A hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.

Finally, her gaze fell upon Yu Boxuan, who sat at the head of the table, and Yu Yuanchen, whose aura was the most profound and unfathomable. She said softly, "Sect Master Yu, everyone, the purpose of our trip should have already been conveyed by Young Master Gu Yue. Your sect's willingness to cooperate with my Myriad Beast Sect to explore new paths of Beast Taming is truly a wise move."

Yu Boxuan smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over Bi Ji and the Scarlet King. His tone was calm yet scrutinizing. "Senior Bi Ji, you flatter me. You merely wish not to hinder the future of this junior. However, both of you possess extraordinary auras. Forgive my poor eyesight, but may I ask where your esteemed sect, the ' Myriad Beast Sect,' is located? What is the extent of its lineage?" He was probing their background.

Bi Ji smiled slightly, her emerald eyes clear and bright, her voice still gentle. "Sect Master Yu, you are too kind. Our sect has been secluded from the world for a long time, and it is inconvenient to reveal the location of our mountain gate. Please forgive us. As for our lineage... it can be traced back to ancient times. We have lived as neighbors with some intelligent Soul Beast races for generations, supporting each other and jointly exploring the way of nature. Therefore, our sect is named 'Ten Thousand Beasts'." She avoided the important point and steered the conversation to the core.

The Scarlet King snorted, his voice like muffled thunder. "What's with the nonsense! We're here today to discuss cooperation, not to exchange titles! Sect Master Yu, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the top sects on this continent, and you've surely seen some of the strength of our Myriad Beast Sect. Cooperation would be greatly beneficial to both sides, so why beat around the bush!"

His words were blunt and even somewhat rude, but they were in line with his disguised identity and directly brought the negotiations to the point, carrying an undeniable sense of power.

A glint flashed in Yu Boxuan's eyes, but he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Senior Scarlet King is a man of few words. Since that's the case, I, Yu, will speak frankly. Your sect has proposed a 'cooperative research on the Way of Beast Taming.' I wonder how exactly this cooperation will take place? What will our side gain? Does your sect have a plan for this?"

Bi Ji and the Scarlet King exchanged a glance, and Bi Ji spoke first, "We dare not presume to offer our opinions. Our sect only has some humble views for your consideration. If there are any dissatisfactions, please feel free to raise them."

"Firstly, information sharing. Our Myriad Beast Sect is willing to open up some of our Soul Beast Classics, including information on the habits, potential, evolutionary paths, and ancient bloodline secrets of various Soul Beast, to help your sect, especially Young Lady Ye Zhilan, deepen her understanding of Soul Beast, particularly Plant Spirit Beast, and improve the Contract Method." Bi Ji's tone was sincere. "Of course, we also hope to share your sect's unique research on Martial Soul, Blood Essence and Blood, and even potions."

Upon hearing this, Yu Boxuan and the others were intrigued. Detailed information about Soul Beast, especially regarding their potential and evolutionary paths, was precisely the weakest link in the human Soul Master's knowledge system! If they could truly obtain it, its value would be immeasurable!

"Secondly, we can conduct joint research. Our sect can provide docile Soul Beast of different types and Cultivation Level to establish contracts with disciples selected by your sect, observe the effects, and summarize the experience. The location can be a secluded Separate Courtyard of our sect on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, where our sect and your sect will jointly send personnel to guard it and ensure safety," Bi Ji continued.

Providing live Soul Beast for experimentation! This is quite a generous gesture! It also demonstrates the other party's sincerity... or rather, their determination.

"Thirdly, resource sharing. Both parties can negotiate the provision of various resources needed for the research based on their respective contributions. If the research results are successful, the application and distribution of benefits should also be agreed upon in advance."

Bi Ji's approach was clear and logical; the proposed cooperation framework demonstrated both sincerity and protection of her own interests.

Yu Boxuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan. Seeing them nod slightly, he said, "The framework proposed by Senior Bi Ji is generally reasonable. Information sharing and resource assistance are both negotiable. However, setting the location for our joint research at your sect 'Separate Courtyard might be inconvenient. Could our sect provide a venue near Dragon City, and your sect send personnel to reside there? This would be more convenient and safer for our disciples to participate."

This is the bottom line: we must never place our Core Disciple and research findings in an environment where the other party has complete control.

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet King let out a low hum from his nose, seemingly somewhat displeased, but was stopped by Bi Ji's gaze.

Bi Ji smiled slightly, as if she had expected this. "Sect Master Yu's considerations are very thorough, that's fine. The location can be set a hundred miles outside Dragon City, with both sides jointly constructing defenses and each sect's experts stationed there, how does that sound?"

"Okay." Yu Boxuan nodded.

Next, the two sides engaged in a heated discussion about the details. Yu Yuanchen listened silently for most of the time, occasionally interjecting at crucial points, often hitting the nail on the head, which made Bi Ji and Scarlet King take him seriously. They could sense that although this young man was young, his sharp insight and meticulous thinking were no less than Yu Boxuan's, and his strength was not to be underestimated. He was definitely a true core figure of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Ye Zhilan also raised some questions about contract stability and feedback mechanisms, which Bi Ji answered one by one based on her deep understanding of Soul Beast, and the two had a very in-depth exchange.

The negotiations lasted a full day. Finally, a preliminary cooperation agreement was reached:

1. The cooperating organization is named "Beast Taming Research Institute" and is located in a valley eighty miles west of Dragon City. It will be jointly built and staffed by both parties.

2. The Myriad Beast Sect initially provided copies of some classic texts, including <Soul Beast Bloodline Catalogue) > and <Introduction to Spirit Plant Empathy>, as well as ten living Plant System and Beast-Type Soul Beast Cultivation Level cultivation levels under a thousand years and relatively mild temperaments, for preliminary research.

3. Research results will be shared, and intellectual property rights will be jointly owned by both parties. Specific applications and profit distribution will be discussed separately.

4. During the cooperation period, neither party shall spy on the other's Core Secrets or endanger the safety of the other's personnel.

The agreement was signed with the imprint of Soul Power as proof.

Bi Ji and the Scarlet King rose, Bi Ji said gently, "Sect Master Yu, it's a pleasure to cooperate. I hope that by joining hands, we can create a new path for Soul Master and Soul Beast."

Yu Boxuan also stood up. "Senior, rest assured, since our sect has already agreed, we will cooperate wholeheartedly."

The Scarlet King's gaze swept over Yu Yuanchen, and he said in a gruff voice, "Boy, you're quite good. I hope you can pique my interest even more next time we meet." His words carried a hint of fighting spirit, clearly showing that he was interested in Yu Yuanchen's strength.

Yu Yuanchen smiled calmly, did not reply, but simply cupped his hands in acknowledgment.

After seeing off Bi Ji and the Scarlet King, the atmosphere in the main hall remained heavy.

"Yuanchen, look at these two..." Yu Boxuan looked at his grandson with a serious expression.

"Bi Ji's Cultivation Level is likely over 500,000 years, Healing System, and her aura is pure and gentle; what she said should be true. Scarlet King's Cultivation Level 290,000 years, Power Attack System; he appears rough and bold, but is actually meticulous. Although his Soul Power fluctuations are around level 97, with his top-tier Soul Beast bloodline, even ordinary level 97 individuals might not be his match." Yu Yuanchen calmly analyzed, "The Myriad Beast Sect ... its strength is unfathomable. This cooperation carries both opportunities and risks."

Ye Kuan stroked his beard and sighed, "Ferocious Beast has come to our door. In my entire life as a doctor, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it. However, judging from its words and actions, it doesn't seem to be a wicked person."

Ye Zhilan's eyes shone brightly. "Brother Yuanchen, Senior Bi Ji's understanding of Soul Beast is truly profound. I feel I've learned a lot! I want to start the Research Institute project as soon as possible!"

Yu Yuanchen nodded. "Yes, now that the alliance is established, we must go all out. Zhilan, you will lead the Research Institute, and the sect will provide full support. Remember, proceed step by step, and safety comes first, especially when dealing with living Soul Beast."

"I understand!" Ye Zhilan nodded emphatically.

Yu Boxuan said in a deep voice, "From this moment forward, seal off all details of today's meeting. The selection and construction of the Research Institute must be carried out in secrecy, and the personnel to be stationed there must be carefully selected, with loyalty and reliability being the top priority. Yuanchen, you are fully responsible for this matter. If there are any unusual movements, you may act first and report later!"

"Your grandson obeys." Yu Yuanchen accepted the order.

The curtain has been raised on a grand dance with Soul Beast. The alliance between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the "Myriad Beast Sect" is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, its ripples bound to spread throughout the entire continent. And at the center of the storm is the soon-to-be-established "Beast Taming Research Institute," and within it, a young girl with a dream, and her mysterious and powerful fiancé.
