Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children

Chapter 595 - 594: If You’ve Got Guts, Don’t Run

Even so, a combination of one strong and two fairly strong opponents was definitely not to be underestimated. What’s more, the cultivation of the two "fairly strong" ones was at least a full Level higher than the male from Si Shuo’s house!

Besides, Si Shuo believed this was definitely not a decision they had made in a rush yesterday. The three members of each team must have discussed tactics for coordinating with one another to make their combined strength far greater than the sum of their parts.

The fifth round of the competition began. The pace slowed down. Only ten arenas were used simultaneously, and there were a total of ten sessions.

The Black Ape Beastman, Bao Chuan, was at the Middle Stage Seventeenth Level. He had rushed here from another Beast City, hoping to secure a good ranking, obtain an officially recognized Identity Card, and forge a future for himself in Pingjing.

His body was strong and sturdy, and he possessed a Gold Ability with considerable offensive power. In terms of talent, superpower type, Cultivation Level, defense, and offense, he was among the best of the Beastmen.

His future was practically a guaranteed smooth and bright path. Furthermore, once he completed this task, he could rely on his own strength to get a pass to Pingjing and would also catch the eye of a certain nobleman.

At his side were a Yellow Sheep Beastman at the Peak Fifteenth level and a Grizzly Bear Beastman at the Middle Fifteenth Level.

They looked with disdain at Gong You, who stood beside them. He was more beautiful than even a Female Saint, tall and slender.

"Hey, you’re a Fish Beast. What are you doing on our land instead of staying in the sea? Aren’t you afraid of freezing stiff? Haha..."

"Is his Water Ability for giving us a shower or a bath? You think he’ll spit water when we beat him up later?"

"It’s not too late for you to surrender. The outcome will be the same either way. The first option just looks better. It’ll save you from getting beaten black and blue and despised by the young females..."

Gong You let out a cold laugh but didn’t speak. His eyes were bright, and his gaze was like a cold blade, cutting across them.

For some reason, they felt the autumn wind turn a little colder, as if a harsh winter was about to arrive.

Theirs was the first match, on the fifth arena. When the official blew the conch horn, they all leaped effortlessly onto the stage, and some pairs immediately began to fight.

"Brother Chuan, why don’t we attack together and finish him off quickly?" the Yellow Sheep Beastman said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. ’I can’t let my employer think I’m just here to fill a spot,’ he thought. ’What’s the point if Bao Chuan takes out this Fish Beast before I even make a move?’

Bao Chuan didn’t mind. Attacking together was fine; it would save him some energy for the next match. He nodded, stretched his limbs, and sneered, "Alright. Let’s make it quick. A male this weak isn’t worth our time!"

The Grizzly Bear Beastman gave an honest-looking smile, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he, too, quickly prepared for battle.

There wasn’t a trace of fear on Gong You’s face. His gaze swept past Bao Chuan, ignored the Grizzly Bear Beastman, and instead came to rest on the Yellow Sheep Beastman.

As the three of them channeled their Spiritual Power and charged, the corner of Gong You’s lips curled up. Before anyone could see clearly, he was already on top of the Yellow Sheep Beastman. With a light push of his hand, he sent the stones—which the Yellow Sheep Beastman had condensed by draining nearly all his Spiritual Power—hurtling toward Bao Chuan. The stones flew as if dropped from a great height, with a speed and impact force that no ordinary Beastman could withstand. Moreover, the Yellow Sheep Beastman had launched more than ten of them at once, determined to leave his opponent with nowhere to run.

Bao Chuan’s attention was also focused on Gong You, so he never imagined he would be ambushed right at the start. Even though he was habitually cautious and always maintained a Protective Shield on the arena, he still couldn’t withstand the attack.

The Protective Shield shattered. He suffered from the backlash, and a mouthful of blood surged up his throat. His body was locked in place by Spiritual Power, and he was forced to take the impact of two huge stones head-on. A crisp CRACK came from his arm and leg—they were clearly broken!

Meanwhile, Gong You’s other hand was pressed against the Yellow Sheep Beastman’s Dantian, enveloping it with his Spiritual Power.

A bone-chilling cold seemed to flow through his entire body. Even when facing a Seventeenth-level Beastman, the Yellow Sheep Beastman had never felt as close to death as he did now. He trembled in terror. "Don’t! Don’t destroy me! I surrender!"

Losing the match wasn’t a big deal. At worst, he’d have to return the Crystal Stones he had just received, or he could just flee with them. If he lost this match, he could still go to another Beast City and compete. As long as he was alive and his Dantian was intact, he still had a hope of advancing to become a High-level Warrior. He weighed his options in an instant and made his choice without hesitation. Sensing a slight softening in Gong You’s demeanor, he leaped off the arena without a second’s thought.

Bao Chuan’s forehead was beaded with sweat from the pain. He trembled on one leg, and his dominant right arm hurt too much to use.

"You ambushed me?" he ground out through his teeth, continuing to throw Golden Arrows with his left hand without pause. ’I must have underestimated him just now. I didn’t grasp his true abilities. That’s right, how could a Fish Beast dare to compete here without some hidden superpower?’

’What happened before was an accident. Even with a crippled leg and a broken arm, I can still crush this little ant.’ "It’s my fault for being too merciful to you. If I don’t take your life this time, I, Bao Chuan, will have no face left in the Guiping Beast Country."

A Seventeenth-level Beastman was considered upper-middle tier among the experts in Guanping Country. Weren’t they revered wherever they went? He had been undefeated for years; when had he ever been in such a pathetic state?

However, no matter how he varied his Gold Ability, he still couldn’t land a single scratch on Gong You. Instead, he accidentally injured the Grizzly Bear Beastman, who yelped in pain.

"Stop running if you have any guts!" Bao Chuan’s whole body ached, and he was trembling with rage, viciously pouring out even more Spiritual Power.

Gong You scoffed. "Only an idiot would stand still. You can be a fool yourself, but don’t insult other people’s intelligence. On the arena, there are no rules. All that matters is winning."

Bao Chuan’s brow darkened. "Are you trying to wait until my Spiritual Power runs out? Heh, dream on." He pulled a handful of Crystal Stones from his pocket. "With these, you’d better pray you get lucky every time."

Using Crystal Stones for Cultivation or to replenish Spiritual Energy were both like drinking poison to quench thirst. However, the latter effect was less pronounced, only about one-twentieth or one-thirtieth as effective as the former, so Beastmen almost completely disregarded it.

Besides, during a life-or-death battle, the accumulation of impurities from absorbing Spiritual Energy from Crystal Stones was a trivial matter.

As he spoke, Bao Chuan frantically absorbed Spiritual Energy, circulated it in his Dantian to replenish the majority of his depleted Spiritual Power, and began to prepare a powerful move.

Seeing him go berserk with bloodshot eyes, it was clear he could no longer distinguish friend from foe. The Grizzly Bear Beastman also sensed that something was wrong. He didn’t care about anything else and immediately surrendered, leaping off the arena to leave.

Bao Chuan sneered. In a few seconds, the energy gathered in his palm was complete. He hurled it at Gong You without a moment’s hesitation or holding anything back.

It was a swarm of Metal Needles with explosive properties. They blotted out the sky, forming a dense, impenetrable net before him that swept toward his opponent. In a tiny space like this arena, it was guaranteed to blast his target to smithereens!

A golden light flashed in Gong You’s eyes. No matter how fast Bao Chuan’s superpower was, in front of him, it seemed to slow down, the fine needles squirming forward as if they were stuttering...
