Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Are There Other Wild Horses? (Long Chapter)
No matter what methods this guy used, he actually made this wild horse, which had baffled everyone, submit completely!
Could horse taming also be like this?
“No!”
Realizing something, Zhou Qun frowned tightly and suddenly spoke, “This submission is not genuine, but rather a submission to your tyranny. It’s not true acceptance, and it’s like burying a hidden danger. Once sold, it could very likely erupt and thus hurt the owner!”
“Exactly, it’s superficial harmony but inward disunity, and that is a taboo in horse taming!” another coachman nodded.
Horses differ from others, once tamed they become humans’ closest transport companions. If they submit while harboring hatred in their hearts instead of truly accepting, it’s like planting a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment and thus turn on the owner.
If nothing happens, it’s still fine, but once it does, it could lead to damaging repercussions for the Baiyan Horse Farm. At best, their reputation could collapse, at worst, no one would buy their horses anymore.
Zhang Xuan, puzzled, “Not genuinely accepted?”
“Right, horse taming involves genuine acceptance, disguiseful acceptance, forced acceptance, among others. The latter two are very dangerous and are not employed by us horse tamers!” said the coachman who had just spoken.
“This…”
With his brow furrowed, Zhang Xuan stayed silent but leaped over the fence, took a few steps to reach Scarlet, and looked down, “Is what they said true? Was your submission just now not genuine?”
“Neigh~~”
When he approached, Scarlet looked up and showed a color of anger.
Clearly, Zhou Qun was right; it was only forced into submission, and deep inside, it did not accept humans. Due to not having a high intellect, it couldn’t pretend, revealing its true feelings at a glance.
“Steward Liu, this guy forcefully subdued the horse, breaking the rules. Not only should he not be rewarded, but he must also be properly disciplined to set an example!”
“If we don’t punish him, everyone will do the same, beating up the wild horses. Who would then earnestly learn horse taming? Once this skill is lost, I’m afraid our horses will all have hidden problems and can never be sold again.”
“This is no small matter, it must be taken seriously.”
As someone spoke up, the coaches immediately echoed in agreement, all showing faces filled with anger and righteous indignation.
They had diligently studied the Horse Taming Techniques; if this brute-force method replaced them, their profession would almost be at an end.
“This…everyone, don’t be hasty, let me take a closer look before deciding!”
Gesturing with his hand, Steward Liu didn’t make a decision immediately, but also jumped over the fence to come before Scarlet, slowly extending his hand to try to touch its mane.
The massive head quickly shrank back, and Scarlet veered to one side avoiding the touch, obviously resistant to this contact.
Steward Liu’s heart chilled halfway.
Normally, even though tamed horses submit, they show no fear of humans and even display affection. But this creature, when touched, showed panic, an innate avoidance… how to ride it then?
how to establish a positive relationship?
It seemed Master Zhou and others were right. Steward Liu glanced at a young man not far away with a cold gaze, “Zhang Xuan, right? You haven’t truly tamed Scarlet, but relied on brute force to make it not dare to resist, hence, I declare your horse taming this time a failure…”
Before he could finish speaking, the nearby Zhang Xuan, filled with displeasure, came before Scarlet, and with a swing of his arm, slapped its long face.
“Not fully subdued, eh? What, getting brave?”
“Neigh, neigh??”
Unexpectedly, he would react with such immediate physical reprimand, Scarlet’s eyes filled with disbelief.
“What are you doing…”
Not just its expression, Steward Liu was also completely shocked.
To say you haven’t tamed and then to physically hit… Knowing this guy was wild, but didn’t expect him to be this wild…
“Someone, seize this guy…”
Just as he was about to properly discipline this troublemaking youngster, he saw the freshly slapped Scarlet, after a moment of incredulous expression, its massive head suddenly lowered, constantly rubbing against Zhang Xuan’s legs, displaying a docile behavior…
much like a dog excitedly greeting its owner…
“Is this… fully subdued now?”
The scolding that was on the brink of spilling was stifled in his throat; Steward Liu stood stunned.
The only way a horse could exhibit such behavior was if it was not just tamed, but had submitted like a beast pet!
Just earlier, it had shown an angry face, almost as if preferring mutual destruction, so why had it suddenly changed like this?
Not just his expression, Zhou Qun and others also exchanged looks, feeling their brains weren’t quite catching up.
Ever since they started learning horse taming, they had never encountered such a situation…
Could it be that Scarlet inherently liked abuse, only submitting if beaten? The harder the beating, the stronger the submission?
After hesitating for a moment, Steward Liu once again extended his hand, touching the horse’s mane.
This time, not only did Scarlet not avoid it, but it also seemed to enjoy it, nuzzling back against his leg, its eyes no longer showing the previous anger but friendliness.
In just a minute, two different attitudes, all because of a severe slap…
“Now, is it truly subdued?”
Withdrawing his hand, Zhang Xuan looked around.
Initially, he chose to be low-key, not wishing to take action, but Dao Li was unreliable, having beaten severely only resulting in a humiliating submission… left with no choice, he had to personally intervene, deploying a special skill—”Beast Pummeling Taming Method”!
Fortunately, as long as on the mainland of Burning New World, this method could be used, thankfully saving the day, the only flaw being that others merely tamed, while his was complete submission…
