Due to his second talent, Beastmaster’s Divine Heart, Chu Feng’s current attributes were even more exaggerated than the Wild Bear and the others. When he was testing out his strength with his beasts, if he didn’t hold back, he could even beat the beast until it cried!

Of course, as the leader of his beast companions, Chu Feng naturally wouldn’t do such a violent thing. He held back his strength and fought against the Wild Bear several times in a row, but he still didn’t feel satisfied.

“Boss, why don’t you go fight in the illusory world?” Even the Wild Bear, who was the big brother of the team, couldn’t take it after losing one battle after another. How should he put it? No matter which one of the six beasts, they had never lost a battle before… After all, Chu Feng’s unlimited enhancement was too monstrous. Let alone those at the same level, they could even suppress those of higher levels!

Unfortunately, there was bound to be someone greater. Ever since Chu Feng had acquired his second talent, the peak of their team’s combat power had been set. For example, at this moment, although Chu Feng’s true level was still at the immortal level, his three beasts, the Mirage Butterfly, Dark-sky Azure Dragon, and Astral Spirit, had already broken through to become advanced true Gods that could beat God Kings, but simply couldn’t win no matter how flawless their cooperation was! The reason for this outcome was partly because Chu Feng was truly strong now. After all, he had gathered the strengths of all his beasts.

On the other hand, it was also due to the beast contract. From the moment the beast and Beastmaster established an equal contract, they would never harm each other from then on. When it came to beast contracts, there were many types.

In terms of numbers, the contracts were differentiated into one-on-many and one-on-one contracts. The latter was extremely rare. Only a few Beastmaster branches would require the Beastmaster to only take in one beast.

One-on-one human-beast bonds were stronger, and the mutual influence was extremely deep! To give a simple example, there was once a Beastmaster who “died for love” because his only beast had died in battle. Of course, most Beastmasters would only treat their beasts as children or battle companions.

Due to the number of beast slots available, 99% of Beastmasters would choose to form a one-on-many beast contract from the very beginning. This was also the most infallible choice.

Apart from the number of beasts, the beast contracts could be differenced by other criteria as well. There were those that were equal, and naturally, those that were unequal. The Beastmasters of Blue Planet with Chu Feng in the lead all used equal contracts. It could be said that in the eyes of these Beastmasters, their beasts were as important as them. Some Beastmasters were even especially fond of certain races to the point they would treat them lovingly and respectfully like they were treating cats.

As for unequal contracts, some were where the beast would be relatively weaker in the master-pet contract, but there were also master-slave contracts where the beasts were valued as tools only. The latter was common in the many major slave trade associations. Chu Feng had read some biographies in the illusory world, and there were records on them.

In the early years, some races used human Beastmasters as a cover to attract many beast slaves. Some refined them into other creatures, some satisfied their destructive desires on the beasts, and some used the beasts as attraction-seeking tools…

It was also for this reason that human Beastmasters had a bad reputation among the other races in the beginning, and they were once the target of public criticism. If it weren’t for someone accidentally exposing the darkness later, the human race might still be very unpopular now. It was said that Beastmasters were invincible on the same level, but in the beginning, no beast race was willing to come.

When the situation was at its worst, it was said that each Beastmaster could only be passively assigned a contracted beast slave that was captured from the battlefields.

It was also during this period that one-on-one contracts were especially popular. Just contracting one beast didn’t mean that such Beastmasters were destined to be weaker than others who contracted more beasts. In fact, during this period, some outstanding sects like the “one-blade cultivation system” even flourished.

Even now, it was still affecting the younger generation.

“Speaking of which, it seems that regardless of whether it’s our era, the previous era’s Blue Planet civilization during Luo He’s time, or the human beastmasters in other regions, all of them seemed to have experienced a period of darkness…” Chu Feng’s thoughts flashed, but he quickly restrained them from going too far.

He smiled and said, “Since all of you say that I should go to the illusory world, I will.”

Previously, he had obtained first place on the totem’s battle rankings. Other than receiving true God inheritances, researching information, and gathering intelligence, he didn’t bother about anything else.

“It’s been so long since I last went. I should go take a look,” Holding the special token in his hand, Chu Feng’s figure disappeared in the next instant.

In a certain corner of the illusory world, Tyrant had come online. Chu Feng roughly scanned through the various rankings. They were basically still the same as when he first saw them.

Of course, there were still small changes. For example, the number one genius of the central region who had once dominated the totem battle rankings for many years, Hanlin, had now switched to the immortal battle rankings. Then, there was Chu Feng himself. He had not entered the illusory world to fight an immortal-level battle yet but was still ranked in the top 20.

In contrast, Hanlin, who had once fought with him, was ranked outside the top 100. That made sense though. The last time he saw Hanlin in the Blue Planet’s secret realm, he was only an immortal region lord. How could the other party compare to those old undying region lords and region kings in such a short time? One had to know that the number of immortals far exceeded true Gods in this vast universe. Chu Feng stared at his ranking and had some speculations in his heart.

Perhaps, the illusory world’s management team led by the creator of the illusory world has heard of his battle achievements.

If it was a nameless person, he would naturally not be given any attention. Yet, he had killed God Generals and God Kings in front of others… Now, he was only ranked 20th. Presumably, it was because he had not fought in the illusory world. Even if his reputation outside was resounding, it was inevitable that there would be doubts in the hearts of those who hadn’t witnessed his strength.

Chu Feng grinned and his smile was very sincere. He hadn’t wanted to make a scene on the immortal battle rankings, but now, his name was on it.

If he didn’t do something to disperse his fighting passion, the beasts would probably make a fuss!

Chu Feng’s voice entered the minds of the six beasts, “Do any of you want to come out and relax?”

With the current fighting strength of the man and his six beasts, fighting against an immortal could be said to be relaxing. Although the Beastmaster’s core didn’t show the specific effects of how smooth the communication between the human and his beasts would be, Chu Feng could sense that it was now much smoother.

Just like now, their team seemed to be in a group chat. While ordinary people would use their AIs to send messages, they would directly speak and communicate in their minds.

“Yiya!”

“Awoo!”

“Roar!”

…

Perhaps it was because of the frustration they felt when fighting Chu Feng, or because it was too boring to fight against an immortal, in the end, the Astral Spirit, Wild Bear, and the other four beasts all rejected the offer.

“Fine, you guys can just watch me,” Chu Feng challenged the person ranked 15th, ready to instantly defeat the other party as soon as the battle started, or just use his physical strength to defeat the other party with his fists and kicks… After a while, the other side chose to accept the challenge.

On the battle rankings, a gray challenge notification appeared.

[Ten minutes later, the 20th place on the immortal battle rankings, Tyrant of the eastern region, will be fighting against the 15th place, Musa of the western region.]

It just so happened that someone was paying attention to the immortal battle rankings and his eyes immediately widened with shock, “Tyrant is here again!”
