Chapter 1118 (1/2)

The abruptness of the Golden-eyed Ape King caught everyone's attention at once

“What issue ?”

“My issue relates…to the Core Stone Wouldn't it be in your control throughout the entire plan?”

“What does the Ape King mean by that?”

Conte's eyes “The plan you propose is a sound one Hiding all us soulbeasts and springing us where the Beast Ta School would be able to win against this many of us However…it'll be hard to say what happens e begin fighting It's to be expected that there will be casualties Now if the one in possession of the Core Stone, na else happens to the Core Stone, hoe soulbeasts return to the forest? We would have to h the Empire Howthat trip? That is my issue!”

“”

Bai Yunfei narrowed his eyes The Golden-eyed Ape King was basically saying he didn't have the power to 'protect' the Core Stone! In other words, he wanted for the Core Stone to be given to someone else!

Several of the other soulbeasts like the Bloodhowl Wolf King and Violet Dragon King narrowed their eyes as well, but there was also a sroup of soulbeasts that nodded They couldn't fault the Golden-eyed Ape King's words!

It was true that the entirety of this plan was dependent on the Core Stone Many of the soulbeasts harbored thoughts of 'safeguarding' the Core Stone themselves There was a possibility that one of these soulbeasts would've contested Bai Yunfei for it He was the only soul cultivator here, after all The only reason it wasn't done already was due to Bai Yunfei being under the Bloodhowl Wolf King's 'protection'

As shocking as Bai Yunfei's strength hen he helped the Bloodhowl Wolf King, those were merely rumors to the rest of the soulbeasts here None of theth and were doubtful of how strong he really was

Poas so soulbeasts valued more than soul cultivators did Power demanded respect over all else A person could be nice and hailed as the 'savior' to many, but it was inherently useless if they didn't have the power Without that power, that person would never be able to command true respect and inspire loyalty

And so what the Golden-eyed Ape King said struck a chord inHe was saying what several of them felt…

Bai Yunfei could tell that several of the soulbeasts were beginning to agree with the Golden-eyed Ape King “Then, does the Golden-eyed Ape King mean to say that I should hand over the Core Stone?”

His words carried a hint of steel to the like a Regalia?

“I a out a potential problem for the benefit of us all The safety of the Core Stone is paramount in this plan If…you don't wish to hand it over, that's fine As long as you can prove that you are capable of protecting the Core Stone in the future battle” The Golden-eyed Ape King replied

“And how does the Ape King suggest I 'prove' that?”

“It's siht flashed across the Golden-eyed Ape King's eyes “Fight th!”

The entire hall went silent Many soulbeasts looked incredulous at the Golden-eyed Ape King's words—a fight? A class eight soulbeast was challenging a Soul King to a battle? Wasn't that just unfair? How the Golden-eyed Ape King was able to issue a challenge like that without a proble to everyone here…

But Bai Yunfei's answer only served to aht?”

Not even the Golden-eyed Ape King was expecting that

“A spar will suffice! You only need to show your strength! How about this—I will use three moves! If you can endure those three th!!”

The soulbeasts were thunderstruck Had the Golden-eyed Ape King no sha survive a challenge like that? Not even a Half-e threewas clearly taking things personally with Bai Yunfei!
