Su Qingfeng nodded.

"Dad, is there no other choice? Isn't there a fiercer beast, one with a bloodthirsty mouth?"

Su Yue was nearly going crazy.

"No.

"The larger the beast, the less space it has to survive on Earth.

"You can only summon small rabbits, small birds, little mice—you think Lie Dian Country wouldn't want to summon giant beasts after researching it for so many years?"

Su Qingfeng patted his son's shoulder, as a form of consolation.

"Then I'll choose the Misfortune Crow; at least crows don't look effeminate!"

Su Yue sighed.

Indeed, the Blood Boiling Race had tricked them; being clever all your life only to get duped at the end.

Whish!

Suddenly, Su Qingfeng disappeared.

Su Yue stood up, his face full of astonishment.

Such speed.

Whish!

Five minutes later, a shadow flickered.

Su Qingfeng returned.

Rumble!

At the same time, behind him, a jet-black crow about half a person's height was kicking on the ground, looking as if it wouldn't survive.

"A seventh-grade Misfortune Crow, perfect for your blood sacrifice."

Su Qingfeng let out a long breath.

Thankfully, the fat chicken didn't go awry.

"Dad, your knife?"

It was only then that Su Yue noticed Su Qingfeng's demon knife.

Indeed.

The demon knife was the one he had given.

And on the handle of the demon knife, there was a chain attached.

What kind of design is this!

"This is a battle technique called 'Flying Knife from Beyond'; it's a peerless battle technique, but I can't teach it.

"If you like it, I can imprint it in your body as an advanced battle technique, though it's a trimmed-down version, its lethality is still decent."

Su Qingfeng smiled.

The demon knife his son had given was indeed impressive.

The key was it always made him feel his son's warmth, which as a father was very comforting.

"Great!"

Su Yue nodded rapidly.

Throwing the knife out and pulling it back with the chain, as agile as a big snake, it looked really formidable.

The roast chicken was done.

Su Yue also had a firsthand experience with Su Qingfeng's chained knife.

His dad wanted to debone the chicken, and then slice it into pieces to make it easier to eat.

Truly very powerful.

Su Qingfeng manipulated the chain, the demon knife swayed in the wind, and the air was filled with intersecting blade energies, almost as if it came to life.

Without the chain, Su Yue could even imagine controlling the sword from afar.

"Su Ding's chicken dissection, simply perfect."

Leaves had been laid out on the ground in advance, and pieces of big chicken meat fell onto them, emitting a fragrant aroma.

The father and son feasted.

...

"Son, I estimate that in three hours, Mao Yao City will attack Jiangyuan Country, and we will have to go help your godfather.

"You have three hours to perform the blood ritual.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you fail, it's alright; next time I'll find you a Demon King. It's just a toy battle technique anyway."

After eating and drinking, Su Yue had to hurry and perform the blood ritual.

"Got it, I know!"

Su Yue nodded.

Then, he walked up to the Misfortune Crow and started using the Gu Insect Technique.

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

Instantly, streams of sticky blood were extracted from the Misfortune Crow's body.

At this moment, in front of Su Yue, the air twisted, eventually forming the appearance of a book, and the crow's blood was directly absorbed into the book.

The originally transparent Summoning Book began to turn blood red.

Inside the Summoning Book is a small space crafted with Qi Blood, which can store demon beasts.

It's similar to storage spaces in novels but with many restrictions.

First, it can only store summoned fierce demons, and they cannot exceed the martial artist's level nor the maximum Qi Blood limit.

Su Yue's limit is three third-grade Misfortune Crows; for other ordinary martial artists, the limit is usually one.

Second, beasts sealed in the Summoning Book are not in slumber; they still need to breathe, so they have environmental requirements.

For example, some large beasts can't return to Earth.

They're enormous and have high moisture requirements, but Earth is too dry; they'd die quickly. Smaller beasts don't have such strict limits.

Thus, Su Yue can only summon these small rabbits, small birds.

Overall, it's a very mysterious yet particularly useless and weird battle technique.

"My son has really grown up."

Su Yue sat cross-legged with eyes closed, focusing and calming himself, training in battle techniques.

Su Qingfeng watched his son, motionless for a long time.

Grown up.

He was also very pleased.

"I shouldn't waste time either, better look into this Resurrected Frost Vine Insect method."

Su Qingfeng opened the book bark.

In an instant, both father and son entered a state of realization.

One big, one small, two rings of Qi gleamed in the silent Demon Beast Jungle.

This was a father-son game.

...

An hour later.

Su Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes.

Though the method to resurrect the Frost Vine Insect was complex and even involved intricate demon language, an hour was enough for Su Qingfeng to comprehend it.

"I'm not sure if three hours will be enough for Su Yue."

In Su Qingfeng's eyes, Su Yue's Qi rings swirled as he continued understanding the Beast Gu Technique.

In front of him, the color of the blood book had deepened significantly, but Su Qingfeng was unsure about the exact progress.

Buzz!

However, in just a few seconds, Su Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

"Dad... I've done it."

Su Yue let out a long breath.

He snapped his fingers, and the blood book instantly disappeared.

Snap!

Su Yue snapped his fingers again, and the blood book reappeared in front of him.

Very mysterious.

In Su Yue's perception, the blood book was like the mouth of a black hole, as if containing a small world.

But the small world was filled with the aura of a Grandmaster-grade Misfortune Crow, and nothing else could be placed inside.

Unfortunately, it could only store the Misfortune Crow.

"Hmm, the speed is so-so."
