Chapter 78: Wild Girl

Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

“Everyone, a team of martial artists entered the Seven Wind Mountains on a hunt a few days ago, and in the den of a fierce tiger, discovered this little girl. The strangest thing was, this little girl not only was not devoured by the fierce tiger, but had even been living with it for quite a few years. She should have been abandoned as an infant in the wild, and was brought back by the tiger to its den,” the host introduced the little girl’s background, pointing at her.

“She might look small, but she is exceptionally strong. She’s also very violent, does not know how to speak, and nor does she know how to walk on two legs. Her behavior is every bit like that of a wild beast. And now, let us all watch her performance in a battle with this wild wolf!”

All the spectators turned their attention to the little girl. The girl had a head of unkempt hair and her whole body was filthy, covered with dust and dirt. Overall, she had a very bedraggled appearance and a very thin figure. Compared against that wild wolf… it was practically like comparing an infant with an adult.

How was she supposed to battle against an opponent like that? The only end result would be being killed without mercy.

“Heng!” Qi Yong Ye had also risen to his feet, a displeased expression on his face. This was too much… to actually use such a small child to entertain the audience! They were completely without any conscience!

“Xiu,” Ling Han jumped into the Wrestling Ring, and said, “Release this child!”

“Hey, hey, hey. Don’t you know the rules? This is the property of the Da Yuan King, how dare you come here to make trouble?” The host was at first stunned, before becoming extremely angry. But soon after, he was again stunned, and pointing at Ling Han, he exclaimed, “Yi, you’re the champion of this year’s Da Yuan Tournament!”

After he managed to recognize Ling Han, he dared not be too rash and explained, “Young Master Ling, this is the rule of the Wrestling Ring. Those who enter the Wrestling Ring can only battle. There is no difference between male or female, old or young!”

“Then let me ask you, has she willingly entered the battles in the Wrestling Ring? Or, what crime has she committed that she has no choice but to battle?” Ling Han asked.

“This…” the host was instantly lost for words.

In this world where only the strong would be respected, a “wild girl” would of course not engender anyone’s attention. So what if she was sent to battle in the Wrestling Ring, who would care? Who would mind?

With this question from Ling Han, the host had no idea how he was supposed to answer.

“Set her free!” Qi Yong Ye had also leaped into the ring, and coldly commanded the host.

“Yes, Fourth Prince!” The host hurriedly a.s.sented. This was a man who may very possibly inherit the position of the Da Yuan King. Naturally, no one would dare to disregard the words of Qi Yong Ye.

Of course, he dared not release any prisoners even if it was the command of the Fourth Prince. However, even if she was released, this wild girl would at most not have any identification papers, and could be taken by anyone as a slave. Even if she was released, it wasn’t a big deal.

He ordered for the cage to be unlocked, and the little girl immediately pounced out like a cheetah. She was extremely strong, and the impact from her pouncing actually knocked down one of the workers in Body Refining Tier. She had completely taken herself to be a wild beast. He small mouth opened, revealing two pairs of eerie, snow white teeth, aiming a bite at that man’s throat.

This was completely the attack style of a fierce tiger, biting down on the throat to cut off the air supply of its prey!

Ling Han quickly acted. He took hold of the little girl’s neck, but the little girl instantly swiped her claws at Ling Han without any hesitation. “Chi la”, his sleeve was ripped open, a white mark left on Ling Han’s forearm.

However, he had already learned the Body of Dead Tree ability, so while the wild girl’s claws were sharp, they only managed to leave behind a few white marks on his arm.

“Hu!” The wild girl bared her white teeth at Ling Han, as if she was a fierce beast caught in a trap, looking very irritable.

Ling Han looked slightly surprised, because he was in the Element Gathering Tier and possessed extremely powerful strength. Yet if he had not gripped tightly enough and held on, this wild little girl may have successfully struggled free from his grasp.
