The woman from the Beast Fighting Arena thought she was seeing things, but upon closer inspection, she saw the Dark Beast in Yue Jinghua’s hands was no bigger than a cat, its body covered in shiny black fur, with a sharp little mouth and a few black whiskers, and a pair of round, rolling eyes.
"What is this?" Besides Hongling and Shalman, who were accustod to Little Shanshan’s existence, the Female Dark Practitioner and arena staff issued sincere gasps of admiration while also wondering what exactly this Dark Beast was.
It wasn’t quite cat, yet it resembled a leopard.
"Like that big guy over there, it’s a leopard, but sothing went wrong during its advancent, and it turned out like this," Yue Jinghua said, before pouting angrily at the Bloodthirsty Leopard now imprisoned in the Black Gold Iron Cage.
The angry roar from the Bloodthirsty Leopard in the cage seed to mock the cat-sized Flash Mink Leopard for daring to claim kinship with the Leopard Clan.
"Is this little fellow the Dark Beast you intend to enter into the beast fight with?" The female Guide from the Beast Fighting Arena gaped, as if she had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
"That’s the one. Does the Beast Fighting Arena have size requirents for the Dark Beasts participating in the fights?" Yue Jinghua asked with feigned innocence.
"Of course not. Since that’s the case, please select a Dark Beast for your first round of the beast fight," the Female Dark Practitioner suggested skeptically, looking at the Flash Mink Leopard that could be lifted with a single palm. She secretly regretted, already anticipating the grim fate of the Flash Mink Leopard.
Yue Jinghua paid no attention to the Bloodthirsty Leopard; in fact, only one ill-fated outsider had chosen that Bloodthirsty Leopard to challenge throughout the night.
His Dark Beast was now dismbered, its head trampled under the Bloodthirsty Leopard’s feet.
"I’ll choose this one," Yue Jinghua said casually, pointing at a cumberso and salivating Berserk Fang Pig.
"This is a Berserk Fang Pig, a third-rank Dark Beast. Although it’s not of high grade, its hide is very tough," the Female Dark Practitioner kindly reminded Yue Jinghua.
Without a word, Yue Jinghua paid 100 Gold Coins and spent another 50 Gold Coins to buy a ticket to the stands for herself, entering the Beast Fighting Arena to wait for Flash Mink Leopard’s first contest.
When they entered the Beast Fighting Arena, the previous round of combat was still underway.
According to the rules of the Beast Fighting Arena, beast fights and human fights alternate, and when Yue Jinghua and her companions arrived, a human fight was reaching its conclusion.
The victorious one walked down with a proud expression on his face.
It was clearly an unrestricted deathmatch, and the scent of blood excited the crowd in the stands.
The earthen Beast Fighting Arena, after a long night of carnage, was already a river of blood.
Flesh was indistinct on the ground, with limbs and at scattered all over, causing so first-ti onlookers to vomit on the spot.
Both Shalman and Hongling turned their heads away in discomfort.
Yue Jinghua quietly surveyed the situation inside the arena, noting the open design of the stands on all four sides. As it was an open-air tent design, the soft moonlight illuminated the entire Beast Fighting Arena.
The entire Beast Fighting Arena was about the size of three standard soccer fields, capable of accommodating five thousand people watching simultaneously.
The ticket she had purchased for 50 Imperial gold coins was for the most common stands, about a thousand ters from the Beast Fighting Arena.
Further in, there were the regular seats, VIP seats, and several individual booths.
Yue Jinghua noticed that perhaps because there were no notable figures or Dark Beasts participating in tonight’s matches, there were almost no people in the VIP seats. Of the several booths, only one had people in it.
At this mont, the person in the booth had stood up, clearly losing interest in the upcoming fight.
Unlike the throngs of spectators in the Beast Fighting Arena, this distinguished guest from the arena stood alone.
He appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, with a tattoo of a ghastly, blue-faced figure with fang-like teeth that extended from his chest to his arms, emitting a dim glow. His arms were as sturdy as iron rods, exuding the aura of a fearso brute.
Even from a distance of five or six hundred ters, Yue Jinghua could still distinctly sense the aura emanating from that person.
That aura, Yue Jinghua felt, was sowhat familiar.
"It seems like..."
Just as Yue Jinghua was recalling the origin of that aura, the previously calm Beast Fighting Arena suddenly erupted into chaos.
The beast fight was about to begin.
A ferociously-built berserk Fang Pig charged out like a whirlwind, its sharp fangs gouging two deep grooves into the ground,
In stark contrast was Little Shanshan’s leopard body, the size of a black cat, gracefully landing on the ground.
"What is that? Are you telling there are no Dark Beasts in the Beast Fighting Arena, so they just grabbed a random house cat to make up numbers? I paid to watch a match,"
An angry roar erupted from the crowd, and nearly all spectators were convinced that the berserk Fang Pig needed only one stomp to squash Little Shanshan, the little creature, into a at patty.
As the tattooed man walked straight ahead, it wasn’t long before he passed by the seat where Yue Jinghua was seated.
"Master," as the man walked past, a surprised call ca from within Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness, from the Chaos Mantis Xi Yuan.
"What’s wrong, Xi Yuan?" Unlike other mystical beasts contracted with Yue Jinghua, Xi Yuan was mostly silent, perhaps burdened by a deep vendetta; she was almost always busy with her cultivation. Why would she speak up today?
"That man’s scent," Xi Yuan hesitated for a mont, "He carries the sa Chaos Beast aura as ."
Chaos Beast?
Yue Jinghua glanced at the man who had just brushed past her, and she was certain, both in appearance and stature, that he was of the Human Race.
"There is no mistake, it is indeed the aura of a Chaos Beast," Xi Yuan confird with greater certainty.
If the man was a Chaos Beast, then why could he assu human form?
Suddenly, the man stopped.
A deadly silence fell over the arena.
Just monts ago, the beast fight had begun, but in less than the ti it took for two breaths, the fight had ended.
Inside the Beast Fighting Arena, with a loud "bang," the body of the berserk Fang Pig collapsed like a falling wall, crashing down.
Perched elegantly on its raised back, Little Shanshan gracefully licked its claws. Just now, it had slit the Fang Pig’s throat, swift like a flash, majestic in montum, and the astonishing combat power bursting forth from its feline body sent shivers down the spine.
As the man who was about to turn away slowly turned back, his gaze fixed on Little Shanshan inside the arena - a creature the size of a house cat but able to instantly kill a third-rank Dark Beast, the Flash Mink Leopard.
He did not hesitate, making a hand signal.
An employee from the Beast Fighting Arena imdiately approached and respectfully asked, "Ming Lang, sir, may I ask if you have any instructions?"
