Immortal through Beast Taming

"Damn, this squirrel..." A burly man among the academy's scholars suddenly stood up.

The red-leaf squirrel that figured it out was too terrifying.

The downpour goddess on this mountain was plucked, and it no longer rained; instead, red leaves fell all over the sky.

These red leaves were more frightening than the previous rain; even the cultivators present, "could not touch a single leaf," and could not withstand the power of the falling leaves.

Space ripples surrounded each leaf, and as the ripples spread, treasures fell from the cultivators' storage bags like rain, the ground covered in resources.

Spirit Stones, magic treasures, pills, demon beast materials, everything was there.

Though the resources were knocked down, they could be picked up again, but the squirrel's speed in collecting treasures overwhelmed everyone!!!

It was like a red flash, shuttling through every space node, each time it passed by, sweeping away the fallen resources, making countless geniuses feel their hearts bleeding.

The scariest thing wasn't the squirrel's strange space magic, but its strength!!!

If the red-leaf squirrel were merely relying on strange space magic to plunder resources, the geniuses present would certainly not let it off; even if it moved faster, there would be a hundred ways to surround it...

However, as the squirrel gathered wood magic, it punched Tang Yun flying, and things began to become extraordinary.

Who is Tang Yun? Ranked sixty-six on the Genius Rankings, Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, innate cloud body, with strength firmly ranking second on the scene, second only to Liu Yu.

If he isn't even an opponent in one encounter, then wouldn't others who try to stop the squirrel be seeking death?

"This squirrel was indeed hiding its power."

Shocking spiritual power surged from the squirrel's body. The scholar probed again, and although the squirrel was still at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment level, the mana strength within its body was already comparable to that of a Fake Pill Cultivator.

At the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment level, having such mana, the scholars couldn't imagine how strong this squirrel spirit would become after experiencing the baptism twice more.

After the Foundation Establishment Stage, whether cultivator or demon beast, they would undergo three baptisms: breaking through from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment once, from Early-Stage to Mid-Stage once, and from Mid-Stage to Late-Stage once!

With each baptism, the body would rain spiritual rain, nourishing the spiritual sea, greatly increasing mana.

Experiencing just one baptism with mana comparable to a Fake Pill Cultivator, there was only one possibility: this red-leaf squirrel's bloodline was close to the Demon Emperor's heritage descendant!

"This squirrel might not be simply nurtured by Lin Jing; perhaps the Divinity Transformation Pine Tree behind Lin Jing is truly protecting this squirrel!!" The scholars speculated, feeling they were close to the truth.

The squirrel's organs... were approaching plants, which served as evidence.

It's possible that after evolving to the end, this squirrel would completely transform into a plant life.

This red-leaf squirrel... is the true inheritor of that plant Divinity Transformation!

"Damn it! What's wrong with this squirrel!!" The squirrel's Vajra Fist did not knock Tang Yun unconscious; at the moment he was slammed flying, fog protected his body. Though the terrifying punch still injured his five viscera, he quickly recovered using healing secret technique.

Meanwhile, the squirrel's attention was no longer on Tang Yun; instead, it looked at the two seemingly fattest sheep here!

Innate Divine Body, Wang Xiao!

Innate Three Pupils, ranked thirty-one on the Genius Rankings, Liu Yu!

Only these two ignored the leaf-plucking and flower-picking technique!

The squirrel looked at Wang Xiao's hand, where a silver ring was worn.

As for Liu Yu, he wore a jade bracelet, exuding treasure light.

Both were more advanced space equipment than storage bags!

"Why did I come here..." Wang Xiao saw the squirrel's gaze and felt silently troubled inside, the fur on his battle tiger rising with an ominous premonition.

"Squeak!" Fortunately, the squirrel's gaze passed over Wang Xiao; after all, Lin Jing intended to draw Wang Xiao into the Dragon Palace, as for Liu Yu...

"It still wants to seize Liu Yu!!!" The scholars were slightly stunned at the sight, Liu Yu was among the top students presently at the academy, enough to rank in the top three!

Those stronger than him, who ranked higher on the Genius Rankings, mostly chose to graduate, so currently, Liu Yu, the founder of the Pupil Alliance, was definitely a leader among academy students.

If not for wanting to stay longer on the Genius Rankings, Liu Yu could immediately condense a Golden Core.

"You sure have some..."

As Liu Yu spoke, the squirrel used the red leaves as a medium, instantly teleporting to Liu Yu's front.

Normal red leaves were useless, but the maple leaves on the squirrel's tail were sharper, like space blades.

As it appeared, a large amount of resources fell beside Liu Yu, balancing Tang Yun's mind; this squirrel actually dared to provoke Liu Yu.

"Annihilate!" Liu Yu's third eye opened, emanating golden divine light. This heavenly eye attacked the spirit and soul; in the Foundation Establishment Stage, where spiritual soul power had not been cultivated, few could resist.

However, at the instant Liu Yu attempted to destroy the squirrel's spirit consciousness, he saw an astounding scene: the squirrel slightly raised its head to look at him, facing each other, revealing a third eye on its forehead.

"You..." Liu Yu was shocked inside.

The squirrel's third eye had just appeared, before Liu Yu even got a clear look at it being merely a pine cone, he seemed to fall into a dark forest, seeing an enormous pine tree apparently connected to the Immortal Realm, his spirit receiving an unparalleled impact, the third eye bleeding with tears!

By the time Liu Yu regained consciousness, the squirrel had already swept away all the spoils and fled under everyone's bewildered gaze.

"Did Liu Yu's heavenly eye malfunction??" Someone saw Liu Yu fail to keep the squirrel, instead having resources snatched by the squirrel, and was incredulous; that was Liu Yu.

"You all saw it." The appearance of the squirrel's third eye made the academy's scholars more convinced that this creature was truly a Divine Pine Inheritor.

Far scarier than Lin Jing.

"What even is this? Pineal body?" A scholar murmured.

"Beast Taming Sect's demon fate is greater than human fate, truly lived up to its name."

"Squeak..." The squirrel originally intended to suppress Liu Yu with its Demon King true form, but upon partially activating it, it found that the remaining mana was simply insufficient to support it.

The Demon King true form consumed too much power, having used space magic too many times earlier, leaving no power to employ the true form.

With no True Essence left, the squirrel cooled down, immediately eating pills, while using remaining mana to fly towards Lin Jing, strategically retreating.

Although it had ample stock, there were too many enemies here, these people wouldn't readily allow it recovery time, it needed Lin Jing for protection!

"Damn it!!!" Meanwhile, Liu Yu clenched his fist, both shocked and angry.

"Boss, that squirrel seems to have exhausted its mana."

In Liu Yu's founded organization, Pupil Alliance, once the squirrel left, several members also adept in Pupil Technique dared to approach.

"Do we chase?" They asked.

"Chase what." Liu Yu dropped only several dispensable resources, he inhaled deeply, reminiscing about the Divine Technique the squirrel performed.

At that moment, he felt as if staring at a supreme being, terrifyingly so, even now, Liu Yu still felt shaken, the spiritual phantom gave him a sensation even more fearsome than his family's Divinity Transformation Ancestor!

It's not that he didn't want to chase; indeed, the squirrel had exhausted its mana, but the Beast Taming Sect's Beast Taming Technique, once cultivated to the seventh level, Beast Masters could quickly restore mana to pet beasts.

Once the squirrel returned to Lin Jing's side, mana restored, the feeling from earlier made Liu Yu doubt his chance of beating this squirrel.

He believed, if it weren't for exhausted mana, the magic the squirrel was about to use would have been extremely terrifying, beyond his ability to withstand.

"Forget it, I'm nearly thirty now, about to disappear from the Genius Rankings, no need to compete for temporary strength." Liu Yu didn't want to leave a blemish before leaving the rankings, possibly damaging his reputation, preferring to "enjoy a quiet life."

Most geniuses present realized the squirrel's True Essence seemed depleted; unlike Liu Yu, they became furious and planned to pursue it.

"Get the storage bags back!"

"Damn, the flying sword my partner gifted was snatched by that squirrel!"

"That's nothing; my partner was snatched too!"
