Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 764: Chapter 333: Ancient Magic Potion Recipe! Little Flame’s Reward!

Su Ping stared intently at the scene before him. He had been looking forward to this moment for quite some time.

However, observing Little Flame, this Flame Lord Fire Spirit, which had already devoured one of its own kind, its changes hadn’t seemed that great, had they?

Su Ping pondered. Meanwhile, Little Flame had already approached the fire spirit that had given up resisting.

The firebird, which its body had transformed into, reverted to the fiercely burning flame.

It then moved directly in front of this fire spirit, enveloping and devouring it.

Flame devouring flame—it was all a fusion of their Elemental Bodies. There was nothing more to be said.

In just under thirty seconds, the two flames had merged into one, completely integrated.

The color of the flame showed no change. It was still a mixture of fiery red and orange-yellow, representing the purest power of fire.

Only now, it was roughly a circle larger than before. What was once the size of a fingernail had grown to the size of a thumb.

Compared to the outward change in size, the more significant changes were to its aura and Realm.

Mutual devouring was indeed this little creature’s fastest path to ascension. Its Realm had elevated from its previous state all the way up to the Peak of the Common Realm.

With just one more step, it could advance to the Elite Realm.

Meanwhile, the two Blue-Feathered Flame Sparrows also looked somewhat dazedly towards Little Flame in the center, seemingly confused by the sudden change.

However, soon after completing the devouring process, Little Flame once again assumed its original firebird form. It looked at the Blue-Feathered Flame Sparrows gathered before it and nodded in satisfaction,

“HISS HISS HISS…”

Following Little Flame’s command, the two Blue-Feathered Flame Sparrows instantly understood. They looked at Little Crow, still wreathed in dark flames, and hurriedly limped over to walk behind it like underlings.

Toothy, with its flaming wings, made a human-like gesture, scratching its head. It seemed confused as to how the two foes, who had just been fighting to the death, had suddenly become so obedient.

Little Flame, however, did not care in the slightest. Its fiery red eyes looked towards Su Ping.

Su Ping also looked back at the changed Little Flame, the Eye of Truth already locked onto it.

[Mutated True Spirit Flame (Wild)]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Current Level: Common Tenth Level]

[Racial Potential: ????]

[Skills: Burning (Beginner), Elemental Body (Beginner), Flame Soul (Special)]

There wasn’t much change, just the addition of a ’Flame Soul’ skill, the details of which Su Ping currently could not discern.

Looking at Little Flame, Su Ping’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

“Little guy, are you alright?”

“HISS HISS HISS (I remembered… some things… so strange…)”

The little creature’s response eased Su Ping’s mind. It seemed its self-awareness hadn’t been affected.

However, just as Su Ping had previously speculated, the Flame Venerable’s revival and continuous devouring would inevitably cause its memories to surface.

And this process involved a crucial point. If it were merely as muddled as the previous fire spirit, that would be one thing.

These memories, including those of the Flame Venerable’s revival from the Ancient Times, would bestow upon it a personality and consciousness.

This, in turn, would enable the Flame Venerable to achieve a true nirvanic rebirth.

But Little Flame was different! Its consciousness had been forcibly awakened by the Biyao Chunshen under different circumstances. It had a clear concept of ’self.’

Would these memories affect Little Flame’s sense of self?

The Flame Venerable’s deep-seated hatred for humans had greatly influenced Little Flame at its birth. However, after these past few days, Su Ping could tell that Little Flame now seemed more like a brand-new Pet Beast.

With this thought, Su Ping pursed his lips.

Even knowing all this, there wasn’t much he could do now. Besides, it was unknown whether Little Flame itself would even care about this situation.

While Su Ping was pondering these issues, Little Flame’s voice rang out again.

“HISS HISS HISS! (Human… thank you… for the devouring… I want to give you my reward!)”

Su Ping came to his senses and looked at the little creature, its flaming eyes filled with seriousness.

“I’ve already said, this first time doesn’t matter. It’s not too late to talk about this later!”

“HISS HISS HISS! (No! Human… I am not to become a Pet Beast… so I must offer a reward!)”

This little thing is quite stubborn, isn’t it?

But it was precisely this stubbornness that made Su Ping somewhat worried about whether he could ever successfully coax it into becoming his Pet Beast in the future.

Oh well. He’d take it one step at a time.

Su Ping sighed and nodded his head.

“Alright then, what sort of reward can you offer me?”

Little Flame tilted its head, its fiery red eyes seemingly entering a contemplative state. Soon, its voice was heard again.

“HISS HISS HISS (There’s something useful… in the memories I’ve seen…)”

Hmm? Su Ping’s previously unconcerned expression suddenly turned serious. Memories?

That’s right. Little Flame would awaken memories after devouring other Flame Lord Fire Spirits.

Such memories contained the recollections of the Flame Venerable from the Ancient Times—a being reputed to be one of the strongest Legendary Level Fire Type Pet Beasts, the Fire Totem of the tribe that was the predecessor of the Great Gan Dynasty.

How many secrets and treasures might those memories hold?

This thought suddenly excited Su Ping. He looked at Little Flame.
