Su Ping confronts Akaoni Kyo after his pet beast’s death, revealing his identity as the new Hall Breeder. Despite Akaoni Kyo’s attempt to escape using a spatial array, Meng Yao captures him in a Water Prison. Akaoni Kyo reveals his family’s ancient lineage and pet beast type before Meng Yao crushes him, causing his death and transforming him into a unique resource. He leaves a final threat against Su Ping and Meng Yao.

Every direct line of this family will form a special contract with an Akaoni at birth! If the direct line of this family were to die naturally, it would be of no consequence. But if faced with mishap, they can detach from their flesh through the Akaoni contract.

Through that point of contract, their consciousness and memories can be revived within the Akaoni! Yet, you should understand what this implies, right?

Upon hearing this, Su Ping blinked:

"So, this means Akaoni Kyo can no longer be a human later? They become a Pet Beast like the Red-faced Sword Ghost that was just killed?"

Meng Yao nodded:

"That’s right, but it’s not necessarily the Red-faced Sword Ghost. The Akaoni Clan is highly unique, not confined to the Pet Beast category.

While they’re all part of the Undead series, the Red-faced Sword Ghost, as far as I know, is chosen by the direct line of the Akaoni Family.

Given Akaoni Kyo’s status, they probably won’t choose the restricted Instrument Type Akaoni body; it’s more likely they’ll choose the pure Red-haired Little Ghost. If the potential is sufficient,

they might even have the opportunity to become the Red Body Ghost King, a Spirit Saint Level Ferocious Beast.

The number of different Pet Beasts in this world is truly beyond count, incredibly magical!

Even just hearing about it, Su Ping finds it fascinating.

Meng Yao, however, doesn’t care at all:

"Mediocre means at best, seemingly offering insurance to family members, but actually the members’ souls are just meant to feed one Akaoni after another, nothing worthy of praise.

The battle power of the Akaoni Clan is just that, back when it was human I could kill it, why should I fear it now as a ghost? Don’t worry, kid."

Patting Su Ping’s shoulder, Meng Yao looked at another person who had actually been ignored this whole time.

The elderly Japanese man, shaking like a leaf.

"Spare me, sir, spare me..."

Meng Yao showed no concern, just about to give the Thunderwing Demon some thought to send it to meet King Yan, when Su Ping suddenly spoke up:

"Hold on, senior!"

Meeting Meng Yao’s surprised gaze, Su Ping then said:

"Do you have means for Soul Search? When we just arrived, that guy seemed to have said something to this old man? Perhaps we could discover something valuable?"

The old man, who was initially prepared for death and had turned pale, now looked at Su Ping as if he were a demon.

The pain of Soul Search is like a thousand ghosts gnawing at the heart, unbearably agonizing:

’Damn it, why don’t you just ask directly? It’s not like I won’t talk! What’s the point?’

Unfortunately, at this moment, he didn’t have the privilege to speak!

The old man immediately thought of ending himself, but Meng Yao restrained him directly and nodded.

Following that, the Ray Saint Lord summoned a special Pet Beast that Su Ping had never seen before.

Compared to Leng Ye’s Blue Flame Heart Demon,

Meng Yao brought out an unusual star.

A silver-gray star, with peculiar markings scattered over it.

Seeing Su Ping’s curiosity, Meng Yao spoke faintly:

"Calamity Illusion Starfish! Emperor Level, Psychic Element, Water Element Pet Beast. Su Ping, you better not look, I’ll extract the mental fragments for you later, to avoid giving you any psychological shadow."

Hmm?

Su Ping paused.

Even if the Soul Search is somewhat brutal, back in Linzhou, Su Ping had seen Leng Ye perform a Soul Search, what’s the psychological shadow?

It’s not that bad, right?

"It’s fine, this is the first time I’ve seen this Pet Beast!"

Meng Yao glanced at the eager Su Ping and no longer tried to persuade him, allowing the star named Calamity Illusion Starfish to start its Soul Search.

What is Soul Search?

Of course, it’s not so miraculous and exaggerated as to record every detail of a person’s life memory.

After all, there are things even the person themselves forgets.

The effect of Soul Search diminishes over time.

Also, it requires a high level of proficiency.

The Blue Flame Heart Demon of the past could burn through human souls directly for Soul Search.

And now, Su Ping realized why Meng Yao advised against him watching.

’SpongeBob, do you know how Pai Daxing eats...’

The feeding habits of starfish have a Lovecraftian beauty.

And that’s just ordinary starfish.

The Calamity Illusion Starfish’s consumption-style Soul Search is somewhat different from regular starfish, the residence of spiritual power is the brain...

Pet Beasts, the majority of them, are not those cute little creatures, battles, hunting, power, blood, barbarism, horror are the eternal themes.

Su Ping pressed his lips together, immediately turning his head and choosing to trust Meng Yao’s advice.

He shifted his focus to the Split Wind Misty Eagle.

The formidable foe was slain.

Two Divine Wind Sparrows, one large and one small, were perching beside the Split Wind Misty Eagle, both filled with sorrow.

Su Ping sighed.

Who could have anticipated such a thing?

Yet clearly, that Life Essence, ultimately, is just a Monarch Level life-based resource.

Little Crow fought swiftly, but at this time, one could sense that the Split Wind Misty Eagle’s remnants of life force, sustained by the Life Essence, were fading slowly.

He did his best.

Those Divine Wind Sparrows were once enemies, now barely considered allies, but still not entirely part of the family.

His efforts are considered as having shown utmost benevolence and justice.

Su Ping could only comfort himself in this way.

But suddenly, he paused.

Then he extended his hand directly, exerting his not-very-effective, like a drop in the ocean talent ’Rapid Recovery.’
