Chapter 172 – Beast Pet Showdown
Bi Fan had gone the whole night without sleep again, and he was so engrossed in studying the Yin Yang Lotus that if Jing Feng hadn’t called him, then he wouldn’t have realized that it was already time to leave for the contest.
After an entire night of feeding, the Lotus’s seeds had grown a bit in size.
The Lotus’s seeds grew at a very slow pace, so it would be a while before they completely matured.
The Yin Yang Lotus had saved Bi Fan’s life several times in the past, in fact even Bi Fan couldn’t count the exact number.
Since the Yin Yang Lotus had always helped Bi Fan in critical junctures, Bi Fan didn’t mind putting in some extra effort in helping it grow stronger.
Bi Fan groomed himself and stepped out of his room.
Jing Feng was waiting for him outside. He saw Bi Fan’s haggard face and couldn’t help himself: “Brother Bi Fan, are you okay?”
“Nothing, I didn’t sleep last night.” Bi Fan replied lightly.
“Don’t work so hard, this might cause you an issue in a critical moment in the contest.” Jing Feng’s words silenced Bi Fan.
Bi Fan knew that he had been working very hard, but started to realize that he might be taking it a little too far.
“I know.”
Bi Fan realized that after an entire night of practice, it would be a little difficult for him to be a hundred percent in the contest.
“I must be careful, if I keep getting carried away like this, then it will affect my performance.” Bi Fan thought.
The first day of the final round was very intense, and since nine more days were left, it was vital for Bi Fan to preserve his stamina.
As far as feeding the Yin Yang Lotus was concerned, Bi Fan would only do it in free time now.
He had realized that he wouldn’t be able to use the ‘Blood Devil’ method in the manner in which he had intended to, but wasn’t disheartened by it.
The contest started and the contestants were asked to draw their slots again.
The Wu Ji Sect disciples had received a lot of praise for their performance on day one of the third round, which is why they were acting even more arrogant now.
At the time of balloting, Wu Ji Xuan and Xuan Yuan Xiao Yu were standing expressionless, but the other four were eyeing the Quinyang Sect, City Sect, and the Tian Shui Sect contemptuously.
In fact, Xuan Yuan Feng even passed a sarcastic comment to deliberately mock the City sect.
“Some Sect is getting weaker by the day. They are so busy in being seated at their throne that they’ve completely forgotten about tactics.”
His comment was obviously directed at the City Sect since the Wu Ji Sect was trying to replace their status.
In this contest, Wang Ming Fei was unlucky, and had been knocked out early. He one of the best in the City Sect and had finished seventh last year. In this regard, the City Sect was already quite disheartened and the comment made them even more furious.
Tan Guang Cheng almost attacked Xuan Yuan Feng, but fortunately Wang Feng held him back.
If Tan Guang Cheng had been allowed to act impulsively, then the City Sect would have found themselves in a very disadvantaged position.
The third round was very important in terms of ratings, so it was vital to perform well in this round.
“Their Pigs are fueling their damned arrogance!” Jing Feng stated coldly in a low tone.
Bi Fan smiled and said: “Let them brag, if I come across them, I’ll straight away kill their pets.”
“Ah, if we can kill their pets in battle, then our brothers won’t have to worry about facing them later.” Jing Feng’s eyes lit up.
Jing Feng immediately walked over to Wang Feng and Hong Yun Tian, and conveyed the idea.
Wang Feng and Hong Yun Tian were both standing with a tense look on their faces, but their eyebrows eased upon hearing Jing Feng’s words.
The balloting ended and everyone returned to their respective dressing rooms.
The tickets were sold-out today, and the arena was full, which was making the contestants very nervous since there was additional pressure now.
Ji Ying Lan and Mo Nan were also quite nervous since their strengths were relatively weaker.
“We mustn’t take too much stress. This round will continue for several days, so it’s important to act smartly. If you run into a very strong opponent, just concede the fight and concentrate on getting a strong total rather than individual victories.” Ling Xin Ya advised.
After Luo Sheng’s early exit, Luo Xiao Tian had taken a back seat, and Ling Xin Ya was the effective leader of the platoon now.
At his present strength, Mo Nan was strong enough to stand his ground against the likes of Xuan Yuan Feng, but if the latter summoned his Beast Pet, then Mo Nan was beaten for sure.
Mo Nan didn’t wish to face the Wu Ji Sect disciples anymore, and could only pray to the heavens for support.
Jing Feng saw that Mo Nan had already closed his eyes, and had folded his hands in silent prayer.
He smiled and said: “…Brother Mo Nan, do some extra praying on my behalf as well. Pray that the Wu Ji Sect guys keep running into Brother Bi Fan so he can kill their pets. That way we won’t have to worry about facing their pets in the future.”
“Ah, that’s better, I’ll pray for it.” Mo Nan started seeing a glimmer of hope.
The contest began and the first match pit Wang Feng against Xuan Yuan Feng.
The glared each other like enemies on a narrow road, Xuan Yuan Feng had just mocked the City Sect, and now he was facing Wang Feng in a match.
Wang Feng was very strong, and had only lost to Wu Ji Xuan in the last tournament, while ending up square with Jing Feng and Jiang Wen. But unfortunately, he ranked below Jing Feng and Jiang Wen since he had to face Wu Ji Xuan thrice.
The Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon’s list wasn’t just determined by an individual’s strength, but also by that of their Sect’s, while luck also played an important role.
Xuan Yuan Feng wasn’t strong enough to face Wang Feng alone, so he immediately summoned his Mangalica Pig.
Once the huge Mangalica Pig appeared on the stage, Xuan Yuan Feng’s original meek expression restored to its usual arrogant shade.
“Wang Feng, I know you’ve been waiting for this a long time, but unfortunately you’re just going to be another stepping stone in my path.”
“Yes, well, I’ve been looking forward to this, and I hope that your performance meets my requirements.” Wang Feng replied in a calm and indifferent tone.
“Attack!”
Xuan Yuan Feng knew that he wouldn’t be able to beat Wang Feng alone, and so his Beast charged right beside him from the start of the fight.
Wang Feng cast out ‘The sounds of thunder’ at an exceptional pace, but his two opponents were able to cope up without much difficulty.
‘The sounds of thunder’ was a high level martial law in City Sect’s arsenal, and was comparable to Quinyang Sect’s ‘Floating Sword’, and brought a gale of winds and the strikes of thunder along with it.
This was the first time that Bi Fan was seeing this skill, so he was obviously watching it very carefully.
‘The sounds of thunder’ was a very fast, accurate, and sharp attack, and its overall ferocity made it a rare skill.
Xuan Yuan Feng’s ‘Yin Yang Sword’ wasn’t enough to deal with Wang Feng, but he was able to hold his own owing his excellent understanding with his Beast pet. And gradually, Xuan Yuan Feng started gaining an upper hand in the fight.
Wang Feng was very strong, but winning against two opponents at once wasn’t going to be very easy.
However, Wang Feng wasn’t panicking, and figured that he’d need to break their teamwork.
Once he was able to break up Xuan Yuan Feng and the Pig’s teamwork, then he’d have a chance.
Xuan Yuan Feng was very excited since he was sure that he’d win the match. If he was able to beat a man who had finished in top five last time, then he’d gain instant recognition.
Fame and glory have always been very enticing temptations for youngsters. Xuan Yuan Feng had been trying to press Wu Ji Xuan’s status. The other Wu Ji Sect disciples considered Wu Ji Xuan to be untouchable, but Xuan Yuan Feng wanted to try.
He wanted more and more people to know about him, and he could only do this by defeating more famed opponents. Wang Feng was a famed name, and beating him would obviously be good for Xuan Yuan Feng.
Xuan Yuan Feng launched another fierce attack since he was quite desperate to impress.
His pig rammed straight in Wang Feng’s direction at such a fast pace, that it brought a gale of winds along with it.
But Wang Feng was a very experienced fighter, and quickly dodged the attack.
Xuan Yuan Feng tried to sneak up on Wang Feng, in the hope of launching a pincer attack.
Suddenly, a huge black bear appeared in front of Xuan Yuan Feng. The Bear issued a gigantic roar and charged straight at Xuan Yuan Feng.
Wang Feng also had a Beast Pet, but hadn’t disclosed it to anyone until now.
Now that he had summoned his Beast pet as well, it was now a two vs two fight, and he was no longer in any danger of being outflanked by his opponents.
