Chapter 50 Dongfang Xiaoyu (1/2)
Just when Lyu Liang was worried about the other companions in the Thousand Beast Space, the other four were facing different situations.
In the passage where Zhu Yan was located, only a giant bear monster was left at the moment. However, it was strange that it did not launch an attack. Instead, it lowered its eyes and looked at Zhu Yan like a servant.
”Oh! I didn't expect you to have spiritual intelligence! Congratulations. So how about getting out with me? I can make sure you will be more comfortable than you are here.” Zhu Yan stared at the giant bear with a smirk.
Although the giant bear could not speak, its eyes lit up when hearing this. It immediately nodded and put on a ”You're my father” look.
”Haha, you're worth my teaching! 30 minutes later, I will take you into my cave residence. As long as you hold your breath, you will be thought to be killed according to the rule. Then I can go out. Understand?” Zhu Yan said while the giant bear nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
...
At the same time, Li Wuyi had no such luck. ”F*ck! Brothers, I count on you!” With a depressed roar, he crushed the small symbol in his hand. Subsequently, he disappeared into thin air with all kinds of demon beasts, which were pouncing on him.
Everything seemed unremarkable when Xu Mubai fought against the monsters. He had not knitted his eyebrows from the beginning to the end. A firm look was revealed in his eyes as if nothing could stop him from entering the Land of Origin. After a while, the last giant bear was killed and he disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, Xu Mubai appeared by Lyu Liang's side. Almost at the same time, Zhu Yan emerged and waved at the duo. After 30 minutes, Shangguan Ying and Li Wuyi came, but the latter had an ashamed look on his face.
Shangguan Ying looked confused for she was wondering why she was sent out while she was fighting with the giant bear. ”Time is up? No, obviously not.” Lyu Liang explained to them that three of them had passed the test, so she and Li Wuyi also passed.
Lyu Liang and Xu Mubai immediately went to comfort the dejected Li Wuyi. At last, the amusing quip Zhu Yan said made Li Wuyi regain his ambition and vitality.
...
When Lyu Liang and his fellows were in high spirits, celebrating the victory, in the main hall of the Thousands Beast Mansion appeared a large-scale cyan scroll, painted with countless cultivators who were fighting in the Thousand Beast Space.
Opposite the center of the scroll, there was a large tiger-headed chair. A burly elder with round eyes, sword-like brows, and white hair sat on it, his eyes radiating light full of battle intent. By his side stood a pretty girl in a blue robe. She was tall and slim with beautiful brows and almond-shaped eyes. Now she was hooking her arms around the burly elder's while shaking. Her charming little dimples revealed as she smiled. She seemed less than 16, young and brilliant. Five burly white-robed men stood in a row behind them. Each of their robes was embroidered with different beasts' heads.
”Grandpa! Look! Look at the young man in a white robe of Sword Character Immortal Palace! He is using the sword. And what is that? Is that a domain? Oh, impossible, he is only at Late-stage of Gold Core Level. What's more, according to the Immortal Palace's rule, why didn't he wear a yellow robe?” the pretty girl tilted her head and curiously asked the tall elder.
The tall elder looked at the girl lovingly. A faint smile was revealed on his grim face. He stroked her head and said softly, ”Xiaoyu, this isn't a domain. It's only counted as something similar to the domain. However, he can comprehend the Sword Tao to such extent with his current cultivation. He is really a genius!”
”Ah? That is to say that he is stronger than me?! I am also at the Late-stage of Gold Core Level! No, I have to find a chance to spar with their team. I won't let him go easily!” the girl said with an unconvinced look, which caused the elder to smile wryly and shake his head.
At this time, behind their backs, the man, who stood in the middle of the line and had a lion head embroidered on his rode, spoke. ”Dad, their team is too strange. Our advice is to avoid them! Especially the red-haired man let me remember a milord, who should not be here!”
Hearing this, the tall elder nodded and immediately stood up, staring at Lyu Liang's team with a serious look. Then he turned to glance at the five people behind him and said, ”Give them my order that if our mansion's teams encounter the red-black haired youth and the handsome white-robed youth, they must admit defeat. As for the others, if the white-robed disciple of the Sword Character Immortal Palace is at the Peak of Gold Core Stage, they can fight with him; if his cultivation is lower than that, they will also have to admit defeat. Then I hope the remaining two, the boy and the girl, will be fine.”
”OK!” The five people cupped their hands and bowed with one accord. Then they turned to leave.
The pretty girl kept silent, but she murmured inwardly, ”My grandpa means that if I bump into him, I must admit defeat? Why? In what aspect am I inferior to him? Even if he has a superficial understanding of the domain, I have a secret technique of combining humans and beasts. No, I won't admit defeat. I'll lead my team to the area where I can fight with them!”
...
After one hour, the second test was over. Looking around, Lyu Liang found that the number of teams had really decreased. Now there were only a few hundred!
Soon, a mansion disciple stood up and announced loudly, ”There will be 509 teams participating in the Martial Arts Contest. Now, you're allowed to rest for two hours. Then you're informed of the grouping list for the preliminary contest.”
