Chapter 154: The Scandal (1/2)

When the one in charge of the cage finished talking, the crowd burst with excitement.

The one who could tame it could take it away with him! That was incredibly tempting for all the cultivators in the arena! Owning such a beast would provide a cultivator with terrifying battle ability.

But the problem was with taming the beast, being unsuccessful would likely result in death.

Most of the people in the crowd would never want to fight against such a powerful ferocious beast. Besides, even cultivators at the fifth Ling Qi layer probably wouldn’t be advised to fight against it. It would be extremely hard for them to stay alive, let alone tame the beast.

Then, the one in charge of the cage started talking again: “Of course, to enter the cage you should be at least at the fifth Ling Qi layer to fight against it. If you have broken through to inferior Ling Qi layers, you can also fight against it, but it would not be recommended. If you can’t tame it, then just kill it. We will also give you a hundred purity stones of medium quality.”

Many people were tempted to give it a try.

The group of people with whom Lin Qian had come with were all students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. At that moment, everybody was staring at Lin Qian.

“Mu Fan, don’t you want to capture that daemonic fire lion?” said one student to another called Mu Fan. He was captivated by the lion in the cage.

He had broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer, the same level as thatferocious beast.

“Mu Fan, bro, if you want to give it a try, I can talk to the guy running things, then even if you lose it won’t be a big deal, just don’t get injured.” said another student.

Mu Fan was growing more and more tempted.

If any of them had to go into the cage then Mu Fan was probably the best choice.

If he won and managed to tame the beast while fighting it, he could take the beast away as his own, but he probably would have to give up on the twenty purity stones of medium quality. They probably would not give the purity stones and also let you leave with the beast, it would be too great of a prize. Even if he lost, it wasn’t a problem either as long as he didn’t get injured. Who could refuse such a tempting offer?

Suddenly, Mu Fan looked relaxed and said: “Alright, I will give it a try.”

Mu Fan looked delighted. From what he had understood, the other student was actually proposing to give the lion to him as a present. That was exactly what it was in Mu Fan’s head.

“Mu Fan, brother, you’re very brave.” said the other student.

Mu Fan then jumped through the air and landed in front of the cage. His eyes were filled with greed when looking at the beast.

“What a nice agility technique, Mu Fan, bro! Show them how powerful we students at the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue are!” shouted another of Mu Fan’s fellow students so that everybody could hear.

“Oh, so they’re students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, no wonder they are so strong.”

“The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue are so amazing. They will probably become the most important people within the country over time.”

Various comments spread throughout the crowd. The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue had a proud and arrogant expression on their face when they overheard all of the comments.

Since the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue had been created, some other cultivation academies and institutes had already started suffering from its power. The students of the Holy Courtyard were always trying to make their institute gain in prestige and reputation. They wanted it to become the first cultivation institute in the country. In the future, the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue would probably become much more influential than the Celestial Academy and would also become much stronger than all the sects of the country.

The students from the Holy Courtyard felt extremely proud.

Lin Qian’s beautiful face expressed a lofty arrogance. It was very clear to her that in the future, she would go back home wearing luxurious clothes and show to everyone how prestigious she had become after she left Yangzhou City.

Mu Fan was walking towards the door of the cage and was about to get in when suddenly, a silhouette appeared in front of him.

The students of the Holy Courtyard suddenly all had angry looks on their faces, especially the young boy who had been trying to convince Mu Fan to go and fight against the lion. He looked particularly angry.

That person only needed to take one more step to enter the cage. When Mu Fan saw the scene, he could help but shout: “STOP!”
