Chapter 148 - Duel (1/2)

Chapter 148 Duel

Shi Li was dazed at this moment.

How could Xiong Ye be a Beast King? Xiong Ye actually turned out to be a Beast King?

He fell into a trance, and it was like he’d returned back to his past life.

At that time, they’d cultivated together, and after Xiong Ye had finally become a Beast King, it had taken him another two years before he became one as well. As for their life after that… although he could fight to a draw every time they sparred, he actually knew that his strength wasn’t equal to Xiong Ye’s.

Xiong Ye had never stopped cultivating even after becoming a Beast King. He was a fool… they clearly didn’t need to hunt anymore, but he still insisted on hunting.

Xiong Ye was a person who didn’t know how to enjoy life!

Shi Li couldn’t breathe when he thought about his past life. Xiong Ye was always better than him, leaving Shi Li with a big mountain of pressure resting over him and making him feeling uneasy.

Later, after they’d been Beast Kings for nearly 50 years, Xiong Ye died from old age, and he was finally able to relax. But he’d been useless by then, too!

After his rebirth, one of the things that gave him the most satisfaction was that the Xiong Ye of this period was doomed to be inferior to him in terms of strength.

He really couldn’t wait to show off in front of Xiong Ye after becoming a Beast King.

Yet as a result… Xiong Ye had actually also become a Beast King?

The nightmare that had taken a lot of effort to drive away reappeared, and Shi Li’s expression was extremely ugly.

However, Shen Yue, whose strength wasn’t very strong, just had to insist on trying to persuade Xiong Ye, “Are you the Big Bear Tribe’s tribal chief? Don’t do foolish things…”

What kind of foolish business was this! This was another Beast King! Shi Li wanted to roar at Shen Yue, but it was too shameful… Shi Li was still caught up about what to say when Xiong Ye ignored Shen Yue’s advice and continued, “I want a duel with you. Do you accept or not?”

Shi Li didn’t want to agree. His Beast King powers weren’t stable! As for Xiong Ye… no matter how Xiong Ye managed to become a Beast King, his strength would always be solid.

Shi Li wanted to refuse, but the ordinary people around them couldn’t feel Xiong Ye’s strength and were even saying, “Is this person crazy? He actually wants to fight the Lion Beast King.”

“Is what the Lion Beast King said just now true?”

“The people of the Big Bear Tribe all listen to that Zhou Ji… Then is Zhou Ji’s high position really because he’s together with the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father?”

“He’s male… Why would two men be together?”

“That Zhou Ji looks pretty good.”

……

The Beast Kings who had followed behind Shi Li all heard these comments and were merely left speechless, but Xiong Ye grew furious when he heard them.

Xiong Ye abruptly transformed into his animal form, sending a wave of powerful energy into the people around them with a hard stomp of his leg. Those gossipers were impacted by this energy and pushed into continuous retreat, while others fell backwards onto their butts.

Even the humble house nearby collapsed.

The huge brown bear was still dissatisfied, sending out a roar that rang out in all directions. That mouth that was big enough to eat a person whole with a single bite, scared a whole bunch of people into peeing themselves.

Shen Yue also nearly fell over, color draining from her face.

However, the people of the Big Bear Tribe were fine–Xiong Ye had practiced control over his energy by hulling rice every day and could completely control his strength to avoid hurting the people of the Big Bear Tribe.

“Xiong Ye, it’s alright. Don’t be angry.” Zhou Ji laughed as he coaxed Xiong Ye, then spoke to the people around them, “I hope that everyone will stop talking nonsense. I can receive such good treatment in the Big Bear Tribe because my mate is a Beast King.”

The people around them: “……” They could see that now!

Zhou Ji pointed to Hai Feng and continued, “As for this person, he’s not the Rhinoceros Beast King’s father at all, but he has an adoptive relationship with the Rhinoceros Beast King’s son. I have nothing going on with him.”

The people around them: “……” So it turned out to be like that!

Hai Feng was afraid that Zhou Ji would no longer concern himself with him because of all the random nonsense that was spreading and didn’t hesitate to clarify, “We have something! We agreed before! I’ll listen to you in the future, and you’ll protect my life.”

“……” Zhou Ji amended, “Yes, we have something. Our relationship is that he’s my follower.”

The people around them: “…….” They could see that!

Rhinoceros Beast King: Zhou Ji was really impressive, he even clarified for him while he was at it. But what exactly was this business with about Hai Feng being Zhou Ji’s follower? Hai Feng, have you forgotten that you’re a Beast King? You’re actually someone else’s follower despite being a Beast King!?

The Rhinoceros Beast King’s gaze was complex as he looked at Zhou Ji.

He had long known that Zhou Ji was also a Beast King, and a very powerful one at that. Now, it seemed… Zhou Ji might be even stronger than he’d thought.

Hai Feng’s strength might be unknown to the people around them, but everyone could see Xiong Ye’s strength now–he was such a big bear and was certainly a Beast King!

Not to mention that while Hai Feng wasn’t very attractive, Xiong Ye was very handsome.

Zhou Ji was Xiong Ye’s mate. How could he hook up with Hai Feng? It could only make sense if Hai Feng was Xiong Ye’s follower! Wasn’t it obvious in the way Hai Feng was carrying the things that Zhou Ji had traded for?

The Lion Beast King was really talking nonsense. No wonder the other party wanted to fight!

Those people who had been frightened by Xiong Ye no longer dared to become angry at him now. After all, they had actually dared to comment on a Beast King’s mate earlier.

It was already considered kind for Xiong Ye not to have done anything to them!

At this time, they secretly detested Shi Li–if it wasn’t for the Lion Beast King’s nonsense, how would they have ended up nearly offending a Beast King?!

The Rhinoceros Beast King said, “Lion Beast King, your thoughts are too dirty. I became good friends with that Beast King because he saved my son, and their tribal chief is a Beast King.”

The Ape Beast King followed with, “Lion Beast King, you’ve always said that the Big Bear Tribe was very poor and weak. It seems that it’s not the case…”

Shi Li wanted to spit up blood. He also didn’t know what was going on!

At this time, the Beast Kings no longer concerned themselves with Shi Li. Instead, they turned to the Rhinoceros Beast King, “I didn’t expect that there was another Beast King.”

“The youth now are all so amazing!”

The Ape Beast King was even more straightforward, “Rhinoceros Beast King, you weren’t forthcoming at all! You didn’t tell us about such a big thing!”
