Chapter 209: Becoming Famous in One Battle

When Bernard and Xiaoyu reverted to their mini size and returned to Ye Feng’s shoulders, everyone present was stunned. They never expected that those two terrifying beasts could turn into such adorable creatures!

However, the Asura, now transformed into a demon beast, didn’t seem so easy to defeat. Its charred body still struggled to get up, but the massive mountain on its back weighed heavily, making it difficult to rise fully.

Bernard raised his eyelids slightly. “Absolute Freeze!”

Cold spread from the Asura’s body, turning the entire mountain into an ice glacier that fused tightly with its body.

But after a while, the Asura’s body began to move again.

Bernard grew slightly annoyed and prepared to take action, but Ye Feng stopped him.

“He’s already dead!” Ye Feng, wearing a detector, knew exactly what the opponent’s condition was. “It’s that magic weapon controlling his body.”

Ye Feng stepped forward toward the Asura, which continued to struggle unconsciously.

He took a deep breath and swung his punch again. Fine cracks appeared in the void where the punch landed. His strike wasn’t aimed at the Asura but hit the blood-red long sword instead. The collision caused the sword to emit mournful cries, and finally, the Asura’s body stopped struggling.

Ye Feng then crouched down and seized the magic weapon in its hand. “Stop struggling uselessly… Reclaim it!”

The magic weapon vanished instantly, and the Asura’s body lost all signs of life.

“Third-tier item. Exchange value: 820,000 third-tier domain points!”

“Insufficient domain master privileges. Automatically converted to 820,000,000 second-tier domain points!”

Ye Feng casually took off the Asura’s ring and armor. A faint smile appeared on his lips. “I’ll keep your things for you!”

“Bury him,” Ye Feng said to Bernard beside him.

Bernard nodded, tapped the mountain with his small hand, and it collapsed instantly, burying the Asura.

Ye Feng watched the scene in silence. “I guess this counts as a proper burial!”

The onlookers’ gazes toward Ye Feng were completely different from before—filled with respect and fervor for a strong warrior. Though they weren’t sure just how powerful Asura had been, they knew he was a renowned warrior from thousands of years ago, and only someone equally formidable could defeat him.

The warriors who had used their mental powers to sense things finally retracted theirs as well.

“What exactly are those two little creatures? Their strength is terrifying!” Makas was also shocked after witnessing what had just happened.

“That bear-like creature could use earth and water spells! And that bird used some strange techniques—was it a summoning spell or something?” Duan Yan looked at Elder Makas in confusion.

“I’m not sure yet, but that attack was on par with the full-power strike of a peak Mahayana-stage warrior. It’s likely not far from the power of an Immortal. That single move killed that guy named Asura; afterward, the demonic weapon could only struggle instinctively.” Makas had watched the battle clearly.

“But there’s one thing that still puzzles me—after Asura first turned demonic, how did he manage to push back his opponent with that punch? After all, his strength had multiplied several times after that transformation. Normally, without taking any spirit-gathering pills, he shouldn’t have been a match!” Geng Lin asked in surprise.

“He must have practiced some special technique!” Makas didn’t delve deeper into this question. “It’s not surprising. He was only at the Divided Mind stage originally. For me, defeating someone at the Tribulation stage or Mahayana stage isn’t much different.”

Elder Makas’ words left the two speechless. After all, the fact that someone could fight Asura on par at the Divided Mind stage was already a miracle, so nothing else seemed surprising.

…

Early the next morning, Ye Feng’s story from the previous day had spread throughout the entire Agri planet. Some even recorded the entire battle between him and Asura, copied it, and sold it publicly. There were quite a few buyers—most wanted to see a showdown between masters with their own eyes, while others bought it for collection!

Ye Feng was speechless. During the battle, he had used his real face, and Bernard and Xiaoyu had also been revealed. It seemed he had become completely famous now.

He also purchased a copy of that battle footage; it was a memory crystal commonly used in the cultivation world. Once activated, it would project an image, allowing Ye Feng to see his own appearance clearly. It was like watching a movie of himself playing the protagonist, in high definition, rather than some stolen footage from a cinema.

This memory crystal, titled “The Mystery Hero’s Battle Against the Asura,” became wildly popular across the entire planet almost overnight. People on the streets discussed nothing but that handsome young man with two spiritual beasts and terrifying strength.

Ye Feng knew that if he went out with those two beasts, it would surely cause a huge sensation. He was about to change his appearance and go out to find out if there were any other updates besides what he already knew when there was a knock at the door.

Ye Feng immediately sent the two beasts back to the patriarch’s bedroom and then opened the door. Standing there were Makas, smiling broadly, along with two men in black robes behind him.

“Do you have something on your mind, senior?” Ye Feng still felt uneasy.

“May I come in and sit for a while?” Makas asked politely as ever.

“No problem,” Ye Feng replied after a brief pause, nodding. “Come in and sit!”

The three of them entered the living room and sat down. Ye Feng poured three cups of tea for them before looking at Makas. “Since you’ve come to see me, there must be a reason, right?”

Makas calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile, “Young man, are you interested in joining our Beast Taming Sect?”

“Huh?!” Ye Feng was shocked by this sudden request. “Join the Beast Taming Sect?”

“Indeed! Early this morning, we heard loud noises of trading in the streets. When we went to investigate, we found out that a thrilling battle had taken place on Agri Planet the previous day. We bought a copy to see what had happened. And when we saw it, your heroic appearance truly impressed me greatly!” Makas said some flattery, making Ye Feng even more uncomfortable.

Of course, Ye Feng didn’t believe that Makas, with his cultivation level, wouldn’t have noticed the energy fluctuations from yesterday’s battle—a kind of energy comparable to the peak of the cultivation world. Anyone would investigate such a thing. He knew very well that Makas had already detected his battle using his mental power the day before.

“Tsk tsk, at such an advanced stage of cultivation, to successfully defeat a possessed Asura—even many powerful experts in the later stages of the Great Vehicle realm would be ashamed!” Makas continued to flatter him.

Ye Feng also couldn’t believe that Makas, a cultivator at the sixth level of the Dispersed Immortals, wouldn’t be able to see through his true strength hidden beneath the illusionary mask.
“Elder, I’ve actually always admired you as the grand elder of the Beast Taming Sect. It’s just that the matter of joining the sect…” Ye Feng shook his head. “I’m used to wandering alone. Besides, I have another master who wouldn’t agree to let me join any sect…”
“You have another master?!” Makas was somewhat surprised. “Would it be alright if we knew his name? Maybe I know him?”
“I can’t talk about him!” Ye Feng shook his head again.
“Young brother Dao Feng, let me be direct with you. I actually think you have great talent for taming magical beasts. As for those two spirit beasts, though I don’t know what species they are, I do know that such powerful beasts are not easy to tame. The level of closeness between them and you is far beyond that of most people in our Beast Taming Sect with their magical beasts. This shows that you’re born with the talent for taming beasts. I believe this talent can be best guided and developed within our sect. Of course, your strength is also undeniable. If you want to pursue a career in beast taming, consider my suggestion! The doors of our Beast Taming Sect are always open to you!” After saying this, Makas took another sip of tea before standing up and leading the two of them away.
After watching the three leave, Ye Feng thought to himself, “I’ll never join the Beast Taming Sect! If you find out I killed your grandson, it’s only a matter of time before you come after me!”
At that moment, in the branch of the Agri Star Artificer Sect, the footage recorded on the memory crystal was being clearly displayed before everyone.
Su Mo stared intently at Ye Feng’s actions on the screen, while Lin Peng and Jiang Yuansong exchanged a glance—they both realized something.
“Elder Su, let’s step outside for a while!” Jiang Yuansong pulled Lin Peng away from the room where the footage was being shown.
“You saw it too?” Jiang Yuansong asked Lin Peng.
“He’s the guy from that day!” Lin Peng nodded. “Whether it’s the illusionary clone or those gloves on his hands…”
“He’s actually that strong. No wonder we had no chance to fight back that day!” Jiang Yuansong shook his head helplessly. “Since he’s the one who robbed us, he must have seen the notice we posted! The fact that he didn’t come after us means he must approve of our approach.”

“Probably so. His true strength is at least at the middle or late stage of the Mahayana level. Even though we know who he is, there’s no need to expect revenge. Last time he stole my ring, costing me nearly a third of my items—that’s a lesson! It seems I really can’t put too valuable things in my storage ring!” Lin Peng nodded.
