Chapter Twelve: Taming the Purple Thunder Savage Lion

Upon seeing Su Yang awaken, the Great Sage’s voice rang out with a mocking tone: “What’s the matter? Afraid you’ll croak again? You’re a reckless kid, but I like that! Hahaha~”

Su Yang scratched the back of his head and replied sheepishly, “Heh, I’m just worried that this little lion will run deep into the mountains and cause trouble.”

Nearby, the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion blushed and said awkwardly, “Master... from now on, I’m your subordinate.”

At these words, Su Yang’s eyes widened in shock. He sprang up abruptly, staring intently at the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion. “...Did you just call me what???”

“M-Master...” the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion stammered, surprised by the human boy’s reaction.

“Kid, don’t waste time. I will teach you a soul contract technique. Once you form a contract with it, this little kitty will obey your every command,” the voice said, and instantly, the method of soul contract magic flooded Su Yang’s mind.

Su Yang was overjoyed. He knew the combat power of the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion all too well. If he hadn’t cultivated the Battle Sage Technique, he would have been killed by the lion countless times already.

“Heh, little lion, I know you’re reluctant to sign this contract, but you have no choice. For your own safety, obey your senior,” Su Yang said warmly.

“As long as I, Su Yang, live, I will never let you down.”

“By my essence blood, I seal this contract.”

Su Yang was not one to hesitate. He had said all he wanted to say. Whether the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion would rebel in the future was up to its own will.

With that, Su Yang bit his fingertip, and a drop of his essence blood instantly flowed into the lion’s head.

“Roar~” The Violet Thunder Fierce Lion’s face twisted in discomfort as a fierce roar escaped. It seemed as though some force was drawing out its soul.

Su Yang stared at the lion’s expression and pinched the air with his right hand. Immediately, a blue soul appeared in his palm—a miniature version of the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion, standing motionless.

Relieved, Su Yang knew the contract was successfully sealed.

The lion returned to its usual form but looked at the soul in Su Yang’s palm with an indescribable feeling. From now on, its fate would no longer be in its own hands. It hoped this human boy would never make it regret this.

“All right, now it’s time to prepare for your revenge battle.”

“Do you want to rest for a day, or shall we start training right away?” the Great Sage asked.

Su Yang’s heart burned with passion. Conquering the Violet Thunder Fierce Lion gave him confidence, but true strength was the key. Either he would rise from the ashes or fall into despair!

“Let’s start now. I’m ready,” Su Yang said firmly, looking at the statue before him.

“Good! Then I shall train you for ten more days. If you survive these ten days, you will be ready to leave the mountain and seek revenge.”

“If you don’t make it, you’ll have to continue training until you reach the Third Profound Realm.”

The Violet Thunder Fierce Lion stood by, puzzled by their conversation. But it could tell this boy was abnormal because of the mysterious senior’s teachings.

With a wagging tail, the lion said, “Senior, do you think I can train a bit too?”

Su Yang glanced at the lion with a strange expression, as if to say, “Are you sure about that?”

“Hahaha! I almost forgot you. Since you are now this boy’s battle pet, you must also improve. You’re only mid-sixth rank and still quite weak. You can train with him, but beware—if you can’t keep up or displease me, the consequences will be severe.”

The Violet Thunder Fierce Lion immediately regretted its words. Was it asking for trouble?

Seeing his owner’s strange expression, the lion knew that the upcoming training would be a nightmare.

Meanwhile, inside Ye Beicheng.

Su Beilou and several Su family experts walked out of the Wang mansion with grim faces. They had clearly suffered a serious blow.

Inside the mansion, Wang Lang calmly sipped tea as he watched Su Beilou leave. “That impatient Su Beilou left before hearing the whole story.”

“Master Wang, if I were him, I might have left too,” said the city lord, Li Beiye, who had been silent until now, his tone cold.

“Haha, Lord Li, no need to panic. You and I are brothers, incomparable to the Su family. The Su family has long since declined. Instead of wasting resources on them, it’s better for us to annex them. Isn’t that better?” Wang Lang replied with a smile.

“Master Wang, no need to mince words. If you swallow the Su family this time, next time I fear the city lord’s mansion might be next.”

“Don’t think that because your Wang family has two God Martial Realm cultivators, you can dominate Ye Beicheng. I, the city lord, will not give up so easily.”

“Farewell!” Li Beiye said angrily and left.

Wang Lang watched him go without any intention to stop him, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

“Ungrateful!” Wang Yiyi said coldly.

“It seems Master Wang has some trouble. If you need the prince’s help, just say the word,” said the Third Prince with a constant smile.

“I’m glad to hear that, Your Highness. But please don’t worry, my Wang family will handle this small matter ourselves.”

“Good. Then I shall take my leave. Please consider carefully what my father said. I’d like an answer within three days.”

Wang Lang stood and bowed, “Rest assured, Your Highness. You will have a satisfactory answer within three days.”

After getting the response he wanted, the Third Prince left the mansion.

Only the elder from the Moon Gazing Sect remained inside.

“Master Wang has great resolve, no wonder he has such an outstanding daughter as Wang Yiyi,” the elder of the Moon Gazing Sect said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Elder Bi. My daughter is only slightly better than ordinary people. Compared to the prodigies of the Moon Gazing Sect, she still lacks refinement. I hope Elder Bi will look after her well in the future," Wang Lang said, revealing his cunning.

“Of course. Wang Yiyi is outstanding and was personally selected by the sect leader. Her future will be boundless.”

“However, Elder Bi has a question for Master Wang. Could you enlighten me?”

“Oh? Please speak frankly, Elder Bi.”

“If I’m not mistaken, the girl possesses two kinds of bloodline power, correct?”

At these words, Wang Lang and Wang Yiyi’s expressions changed simultaneously.

They didn’t expect the elder of the Moon Gazing Sect to immediately notice the anomaly in Wang Yiyi’s bloodline.

“Impressive! Yes, she does carry two kinds of bloodline power,” Wang Lang answered decisively, seeing no reason to hide it.

“Indeed?” Elder Bi’s face lit up with joy, unable to hide his excitement.

“Yes, Elder Bi. I have two kinds of bloodline power within me,” Wang Yiyi quickly responded before Wang Lang could.

“Hahaha! Wonderful! I didn’t expect the Moon Gazing Sect to have such fortune.”

“Wang Yiyi, there’s no time to waste. If nothing else, how about returning with me to the sect within ten days?” Elder Bi looked at Wang Yiyi like a precious treasure, his eyes unwilling to leave her, excitement clear on his face.

Wang Yiyi naturally had no reason to refuse.

Just as she was about to reply, a hurried voice came from outside the door: “Master! Master... something terrible has happened! Commander Dao is dying!!!”
