Chapter 161: Something Is Not Right!

“Alas!”

Brooklet out a sigh with a look of pity. He was not happy with the arrangement.

He was one of the best in the young generation of the Dragon Horn Clan.

Therefore, he was eager to have a good fight against some talented Beast Tamer from the Cerulean Planet who was as excellent as he was.

He would like to know who was the stronger one, him or the opponent.

He had thought even if he were not sent in the last fight, he would at least be sent in the second-to-last or the third-to-last fight.

However, it was totally beyond his anticipation.

The clan decided to send him in the first fight in the competition between low- and intermediate-level Beast Tamers from the Cerulean Planet and their clan.

“Wondering who from the Cerulean Planet will be the poor guy. I will beat the hell out of him.”

Brook thought.

At the thought of this, he glanced over the team from the Cerulean Planet with curiosity in his eyes.

…

“Wang Tianshan, go and tell Ye Xuan he will be the first to fight.”

When the team from the Cerulean Planet had arrived at the fighting field, those Beast Tamers on the Challenger level had a discussion. It did not take them long to decide which student would be sent in which fight to compete for the right of ownership of the respective area.

And those Beast Tamers on the Challenger level had agreed Ye Xuan would be sent in the first fight. That was beyond doubt.

Wang Tianshan argued for Ye Xuan again and again, but no one would listen to him.

“Darn it. Okay. Send him first. Big deal.”

Wang Tianshan’s face was livid with rage. He swore to himself, “When Ye Xuan has shown you what he has got if any of those you brought here loses, I will absolutely get something from you to make you pay this back to me.”

He did value Ye Xuan’s talent a lot.

He even planned to make Ye Xuan work for him at the Tianshan Base when the latter had graduated from the university.

Therefore, he spared no effort to defend Ye Xuan’s benefits.

“Ye Xuan.”

While he was thinking, restricting his voice, he said to Ye Xuan, standing in the distance with other students, through voice transmission.

“Get prepared. You will be the first to fight.”

“Remember. Blow the shit out of them when the fight starts!”

“Show everything you have got. If you fight well this time, I will be able to make a convincing argument to get you more benefits.”

“I will be the first to fight?”

In the crowd, Ye Xuan was struck dumb by Wang Tianshan.

But he came to himself very soon.

Okay, the first to fight. Big deal. He could do that.

It was those Beast Tamers on the Challenger level who decided the order. He certainly did not have a say for that.

Therefore, the only thing he needed to think about ways to fight his round well.

“And the better I fight, the more benefits Mr. Wang can get me?”

Ye Xuan wondered.

Speaking of benefits, the more, the better for him. That was for sure.

He had many beasts, and they were consuming a lot of resources.

They were like gorging themselves on resources.

So, he figured he would have to make a big effort to earn resources non-stop until he achieved the peak.

That would keep him quite busy. Not even for a minute would he be free.

“Is there anything wrong?”

Next to Ye Xuan, Fang Luotian asked Ye Xuan after noticing the change in his facial expression.

“No, nothing is wrong.”

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan said, “I will be the first one to fight. That is all.”

The first to fight?

This information stirred in Fang Luotian.

But in fact, he had anticipated it.

He also watched that video of the fight between Ye Xuan and the young man from the Eternal Night Clan. He knew Ye Xuan had a great talent.

The thing was, no matter how gifted you were, you were just a Beast Tamer on the intermediate Bronze level after all.

There was a great gap between Beast Tamers on the intermediate Bronze level and those on the verge of achieving the Silver level.

The gap was so huge that almost no one could fill it.

“I heard that the first fight would decide the right of ownership of an area called Red Flame Valley.”

While he was thinking about that, Fang Luotian said, “This area is relatively barren. I guess the Dragon Horn Clan wouldn’t send a firm Beast Tamer.”

“So, Ye Xuan, when the fight starts, you seek a chance to decapitate your opponent in the fight. As long as you catch him off guard, you will have a chance of winning.”

Fang Luotian thought Ye Xuan’s expression had changed because he was nervous about the fight.

So, he tried to comfort Ye Xuan.

“Yeah, I know.”

Ye Xuan nodded without speaking too much.

“Ye Xuan, do you mind if I replace you in the first fight? You can replace me when it is my turn. What do you think?”

At this moment, Bu Zi’ang, next to Ye Xuan, said in a low voice after a frown.

He felt a little uneasy after learning Ye Xuan would be the first to fight.

After all, among all of the Bronze-level Beast Tamers there, he was the only one who knew how strong Ye Xuan was.

“It is okay. Don’t worry about it.”

Ye Xuan was shocked by Bu Zi’ang’s audacity.

The Beast Tamers decided the competition order on the Challenger level.

If Ye Xuan and Bu Zi’ang disobeyed them, they would be punished no matter how their fights ended.

Besides, even though he was stronger than Bu Zi’ang, he did not want to steal Bu Zi’ang’s opportunity on such an occasion.

“Elder Kasa.”

At this moment, when the Beast Tamers on the Challenger level had decided the competition order, they looked at an older man from the Dragon Horn Planet. “Shall we start now?”

“Good.”

Kasa from the Dragon Horn Clan agreed immediately. He gave them an affirmative answer and then gave a sign to Brook, who was not far away, as a way to tell him to get ready for the fight.

Pitapat.

Brook walked out of the team and then onto the fighting field after getting Kasa’s sign.

The fighting field here was about the same size as the amphitheater of Jiangzhou University.

There were raised tiered rows of benches around it, too.

What the spectators’ stand surrounded was a fighting field bigger than two standard football fields.

“Ye Xuan.”

Seeing Brook already on the field in the distance, Wang Tianshan looked at Ye Xuan right away.

He was experienced enough to discover at first glance that this Brook had already achieved the peak Bronze level.

And Brook was already very close to achieving the Silver level.

However, that was nothing weird.

It was true the Dragon Horn Planet was not as powerful as the Xia.

But it was still possible to find dozens of young Beast Tamers who were on the verge of achieving the Silver level.

As to how strong on earth Brook was, to know that, he would have to wait until Brook called his beasts out.

Phew!

Ye Xuan let out some foul air after hearing Wang Tianshan’s calling.

He got to his feet from his seat.

Then he let Lil Wan carry him and fly onto the field.

“That is the poor guy I am going to fight against?”

“What the heck is he doing? How come he is with an elf on the Dark Iron?”

As Ye Xuan landed, Brook, whose skin was somewhat tanned, laid his eyes on Ye Xuan.

He looked at Ye Xuan with an odd expression.

At the same time, he was wondering one thing.

He wondered when he called his three beasts out, how shocked this Beast Tamer about his age would be.

“Intermediate Bronze level?”

On the other side, Elder Kasa from the Dragon Horn Planet raised his eyebrow after seeing Ye Xuan. He was evidently surprised.

“What is wrong with those people from the Cerulean Planet? Is the Red Flame Valley too barren for them, so they don’t want it at all? Is that why they sent such a Beast Tamer? Do they intend to use our clansman to practice?”

Looking at Ye Xuan from far away, Kasa was slightly irritated. His face fell immediately.

If that were the case, sending Brook first would be a big waste of his talent indeed.

“Get ready. The fight will start in three seconds.”

As Ye Xuan landed on the fighting field, a referee on the field declared.

“Finally. Game on!”

Brook got excited at the referee’s announcement. As he looked at Ye Xuan, he called all of his three beasts out.

Growl!

In an instant, a dreadful growl came from the field.

The first beast Brook called out was a giant chimpanzee.

The chimpanzee, more than thirty feet tall, had dark, dense hair all over its body.

However, the most striking thing about it was its giant arms, which could reach below the knees.

Those two arms looked like the arms of the demon.

Its fingernails were especially scary. They were shining with cold lights, like curved knife blades.

The moment this giant chimpanzee showed up, the other two beasts of Brook also showed up quickly next to him.

One of them was a stone flying dragon.

The other was a giant tree about dozens of feet tall.

The tree was so verdant that people could receive a vibrant vibe from it.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrow as soon as he saw the three beasts Brook had called out.

He was astonished by Brook’s three beasts because they seemed to be stronger than what he had expected.

Then he identified the attributes of the three beasts that Brook had called out right away.

[Black Vajra Chimpanzee King: Four Stars

Beast Level: Silver (Low)

Abilities: Black Vajra Chimpanzee King Aspect, Heavenly God Extraordinary Strength, Heart of Fury, Chimpanzee King Arm, Chimpanzee King Roar]

[Stone Flying Dragon King: Three Stars

Beast Level: Silver (Low)

Abilities: Stone Flying Dragon King Aspect, Stone Eyes, Stone Flying Dragon Chiming, Stone Flying Dragon Claw]

[Ancient Tree Callan: Two Stars

Beast Level: Silver (Low)

Abilities: Callan Cure, Callan Armor, Callan Tree Soldier]

“What the hell?”

All of a sudden, Ye Xuan felt many questions popping into his head after identifying the attributes of Brook’s three beasts.

Was this really the first fight between the Dragon Horn Clan and them?

Or were all young Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn Planet so strong?

And his opponent was just the weakest among them?

Also, since all of that guy’s three beasts had achieved the Silver level, in theory, the guy should have achieved the Silver level as well.

However, he had not. So, what was wrong with him?

Had he been restricting his cultivation level intentionally? When his beasts had leveled up, did he refuse to receive the reverse nurturing from his beasts?

It was only the Red Flame Valley that they would be fighting for. Was it worth it at all?

Ye Xuan was totally struck dumb after having identified the attributes of Brook’s three beasts.

“My friend from the Cerulean Planet, bear my name in your mind, please! I am Brook.”

“Brook from the Dragon Horn Planet.”

Ye Xuan remained in a daze. He even forgot to call out his beasts. Brook saw that from far away.

So, he suddenly shouted and maneuvered the Black Vajra Chimpanzee King and the Stone Flying Dragon King to launch an attack against Ye Xuan.

Boom!

In an instant, the Black Vajra Chimpanzee King ran towards Ye Xuan. The ground quaked violently while it was running.

“Something is not right!”

Simultaneously, on the spectators’ stand, the Challenger-level Beast Tamers from the Cerulean Planet suddenly came to their senses.

“This is just the first fight. Why would the Dragon Horn Planet have sent such a Beast Tamer?”

“Something is not right. Something is not right with the Red Flame Valley!”
