Vol 4 Chapter 100: Another One?
“What senior...?”
Noticing that Lin Jing wanted to claim his battle spot too, the Third Prince grew wary.
He wasn’t like Du Zao.
Du Zao was just an alchemist with limited strength, and a cultivator from the Tongtian Tower. Giving up his spot for the sake of Tianyuan Realm’s victory wouldn’t cause much of a stir.
But his own status was more sensitive. As the Third Prince of an ancient kingdom, while not as influential as the Ancient Crown Prince, he still represented the honor of the ancient clan to so extent.
If he showed cowardice and gave up his spot to Lin Jing, the Holy Son of the Demon Court, he would absolutely be attacked by his imperial brothers.
If the ancient clan then chose to cut off his cultivation resources, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Most importantly, this domain event would’ve been for nothing. All the opportunities would have nothing to do with him.
Of course, now that Lin Jing promised to give him the opportunity instead, with compensation as well, the Third Prince was a little tempted.
After all, what Lin Jing promised Du Zao just now was an Immortal-grade fla—sothing even a second-generation Ancient Emperor couldn’t obtain!
If it were a visible, tangible resource, the Third Prince thought, he might consider it. After all, he didn’t want to be the reason everyone lost a small realm either.
But what exactly did Lin Jing an by the opportunity he’d give him as compensation?
Introduce him to a senior even more powerful than his father?
What the h*ll—was he talking about the ruler of the Demon Court? The Third Prince was baffled.
That sounded way less useful than an Immortal fla. Even if he t the Demon Court’s ruler, what could he do with it?
“Your Highness, what do you think?” Lin Jing looked calmly at the Third Prince of the ancient kingdom. Facing those otherworldly, bewitching eyes, the Third Prince narrowed his own and took a deep breath.
“Interesting.”
“Judging from Brother Lin’s promise of an Immortal fla to Fellow Daoist Du, Brother Lin is clearly not one to be stingy. Now I’m very curious—what kind of senior could Brother Lin be referring to, that you’d say he’s stronger than my royal father?”
“If Brother Lin is confident, then it’s no issue for to yield this slot.”
“Much appreciated.” Lin Jing gave a slight smile. Now things were locked in.
As long as they won this next point too, that would make four points on Tianyuan Realm’s side.
That way, even if Feng Ning lost her match, as long as he secured the final two points, the total of eight would guarantee victory.
“You won’t regret this.” Being able to enter the sa domain was already a sign of fate. And with this Third Prince so tactful, arranging for the First Ancient Emperor to et him first wouldn’t be a difficult task for Lin Jing.
“The other side’s gonna be dumbfounded.” Seeing Lin Jing make another deal, Du Zao, Bai Yuran, and the others couldn’t help but smile wryly.
What kind of situation was this?
Everyone in Tianyuan Realm already knew how ridiculous Lin Jing’s other pets—the Dragon Carp and the Ice Gu—were.
They didn’t even have to guess: the third round was probably going to be another one-sided crush... Might as well offer early condolences to Tianming Realm.
This was a Nascent Soul-level domain, yet they’d encountered a monster who could wreak havoc even among Divine Transformation geniuses.
anwhile—
On the other side of the arena, the Tianming Realm camp was wearing dark expressions. Even Chang Wangshu, known as the number one Nascent Soul cultivator in Tianming, looked puzzled.
That squirrel just now… he’d vaguely felt threatened by it!
“That beast tar... seems way stronger than our own.” A few people exchanged glances.
In Tianming’s Immortal Palace, most beast tars ca from decent backgrounds but had poor cultivation potential, so they were assigned as caretakers for the palace’s spiritual beasts.
These spiritual beasts often had more talent than the disciples themselves. In this way, these caretakers could cultivate by raising young spirit beasts and benefiting from their growth.
Even so, not everyone was willing to beco a beast tar. The core of the Beast Taming Path was investing resources into pets. Even if these pets were strongly bonded, in the end, they were still “external.”
With limited resources, most cultivators would rather invest in themselves than in a pet with its own thoughts.
So cultivators didn’t even fully trust their own family mbers—let alone a beast. Compared to that, buying a magic treasure or refining a puppet was far more in line with most cultivators’ values.
So even among the Immortal Palace’s caretakers, beast taming was never the first choice.
Plus, there had never been a known case of soone in the lower realms successfully ascending after cultivating the Human Control Technique, so in Tianming Realm, the Beast Taming Path was always considered a minor one.
“The main drawback of the Human Control Technique is that you can’t ascend alone—every contracted beast must survive their own ascension tribulation for the tar to ascend. That’s just way too hard. And the tribulations for this technique are among the most terrifying.”
“But now that the path to ascension is cut off… that drawback kinda doesn’t matter anymore.”
For the first ti, the Tianming geniuses were seeing a beast tar with contracted pets this powerful. At this point, they felt the Pine Leaf Mouse’s peak imperial bloodline was the least impressive part—almost like bloodline fraud.
Was that supposed to be just a Divine Transformation peak-potential beast? Even direct descendants of a Beast Emperor wouldn’t necessarily be that strong!
They’d seen descendants of Beast Emperors before, but even they wouldn’t be so absurd as to use their beast core as a weapon to crush soone and shatter space!
“The two realms really have gone in totally different directions. Soone actually cultivated the Human Control Technique to this level.”
“No matter—it was just a loss. I’ll take the next match and secure the next two points.” Rare Beast Zhuo Mu waved dismissively. “That squirrel might have a Rare Beast bloodline too—that’s the only possibility. After all, we don’t have their intelligence.”
“In that case, we’ll leave it to you,” said the Heaven’s rcy Physique, glancing at Zhuo Mu. “Be careful.”
“Relax.”
As soon as the ti limit ended, Rare Beast Zhuo Mu stepped onto the arena.
At the sa mont, Tianyuan Realm’s next fighter entered the stage. Seeing the opponent, Zhuo Mu froze.
It wasn’t one of the remaining four fighters—it was another unfamiliar face.
A big-eyed, slightly clueless-looking... red carp floating in the air.
“What’s going on.” Tianming Realm’s female cultivator Yue E stared blankly at the two beasts in the arena.
“A fish demon at the Nascent Soul stage?? Wait, don’t tell ... is this also that beast tar’s pet? Another one going up solo? Just how confident is he in his pets? Don’t tell every single one is as monstrous as the last one…”
Even disciples of a Dao-Seeking powerhouse shouldn’t be this over the top.
