Chapter 672: Chapter 10: Consecutive Victories, Mountain Cat Slaying the Gods_6

"Meow!"

It’s not that kind of fish with a shell again, is it? I won’t eat it!

"..."

Zhao Xing felt somewhat melancholy, it was hard to deceive a grown child.

He blamed himself for feeding Mountain Cat too much turtle meat before, causing it to have a psychological shadow over such fish.

"It’s absolutely not that kind! Listen to me, come back first."

After some persuasion, Mountain Cat finally agreed to return.

At that moment, Qingluan and Tiger Flood Dragon had taken the opportunity to slip into the East City Gate with their flags.

Before leaving, Mountain Cat dug a large chunk of meat from the body of the dead Emperor Crocodile.

"Swoosh~"

The Mountain Cat, covered in lightning, swung its claws and forcefully tore through the Crystal Five Elements Domain.

"Roar!" The Eight-headed Emperor Crocodile roared incessantly.

Kunter and Kang Jia felt helpless as the Emperor Crocodiles here had grown to early fifth grade not long ago and hadn’t had their bloodlines activated for long.

They could only watch helplessly as Mountain Cat dodged and weaved, escaping from the Crystal Five Elements Domain.

"Swoosh~" The Mountain Cat, sparking with fire and lightning, holding a piece of Emperor Crocodile meat, appeared on the city wall.

"Phew~" Zhao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But in an instant, he became furious, jumped up, and gave Mountain Cat a head thump.

"Nice, getting tricksy, huh! Not listening to me anymore, you rebellious child!"

"Whimper~" Mountain Cat looked pitiful.

...

Mountain Cat’s confrontation with the Nine-headed Emperor Crocodile, killing one and then escaping with ease, immediately became hot news in Tianjing City, causing a sensation.

"Are you kidding, Mountain Cat killing an Emperor Crocodile? A fifth grade killing a fourth grade?"

"What, was it a hunt by Nine-headed Emperor Crocodile?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Nine against one, fourth grade against fifth grade, and still getting killed by Mountain Cat, what are the Beast Tamers at Jiulong Island even doing?!"

"Jiulong Island has really declined."

"If Mountain Cat can beat an Emperor Crocodile, my Shadow Panther can do it too!"

"It’s eye-opening, in my lifetime I actually got to see Mountain Cat slaying a god, what else is impossible in this world?"

"Spread around the Beast Taming World, this could be laughed at Jiulong Island for a hundred years."

"Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor Zhao Xing? Never heard of him, but his Mountain Cat, really impressive."

"..."

Countless people were discussing the heroic Mountain Cat.

Against the backdrop of Jiulong Island, Kunter and Kang Jia were almost bursting with rage.

Many people sent private messages through Earth Mirror asking if it was real.

Some were joking, others mocking.

"What do you mean his Shadow Panther can do it too? Ridiculous, have the guts to come and fight one-on-one!" Kang Jia hit the table continuously while holding the Earth Mirror.

"Sigh, I guess I’ve become famous." Another Beast Tamer said dejectedly.

He became famous, but not in the way he had expected.

The Emperor Crocodile fell in the preliminaries, killed by Mountain Cat, one could imagine, his career as a Beast Tamer was also at an end.

Upon returning to Jiulong Island, other than resigning to take responsibility, he likely had no other option.

Inside the City Lord Mansion.

Wang Xuan Yi was watching the battle footage recorded by the Mirage Pearl.

The Prefectural Governor Yu Hong, an early Fourth Grade, had just informed him about it.

Initially, Wang Xuan Yi was somewhat incredulous, but after watching it, he realized it was indeed true.

"My lord, to have raised Mountain Cat to such a state, Zhao Xing is truly talented." Yu Hong commented at the side, "Crystal transformation, forming the Crystal Five Elements Domain, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, seven types of attributes in the Emperor Crocodile, plus two purely cultivated for physical strength."

"To think it couldn’t handle a single Mountain Cat."

Wang Xuan Yi set the Mirage Pearl aside, nodded, and said, "His Mountain Cat must be a variant Spiritual Beauty, having consumed too much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty."

"This time, Mountain Cat displayed four secret techniques, and all were of High Order Perfection level."

"Besides Primordial Magic Spirit, few other treasures could have had this effect."

"My lord, what is the background of Marquis Yuan Rang Zhao Xing?" Yu Hong asked, "He carried a heavy weapon, and when my inspector from the Inspection Bureau went to inquire, he actually produced a Sealing King Secret Order, specially approved by Luo Hou King that he could carry such a heavy weapon."

Wang Xuan Yi said, "He has some connection to Luo Hou King and is a direct disciple of Liu Wanfa."

"However, he also offended Prince Liang’s Party, which is a secret that is difficult to explain fully to you. You were recommended by me, so I advise you not to inquire about these matters."

"Yes," Yu Hong obediently nodded.

...

In the Military Realm, inside the Hundred Soldiers Tower.

Prince Xin and Prince Anning, looking somewhat tired, arrived at the Earth Mirror observation room.

As the intensity of the war increased, various tasks began to mount. As one of the thirty-three Sealing Kings of the Military Realm, Prince Xin and Prince Anning were starting to get overwhelmed.

"Hmm? Luo Hou, what are you looking at?" Prince Anning entered and soon noticed that several Earth Mirror screens were switched to a sea area.

"Is this East Sea Tianjing Island?" Prince Xin, Liu Yong, took a glance and quickly judged which area it was.

"Yes," King Luo Hou nodded, "The East Sea has started the preselection for the Beast Competition, just watching casually."

"Just watching casually?" Prince Anning wondered, "How do you still have time to pay attention to the matters of the East Sea?"

King Luo Hou smiled, "I don’t have as many tasks as you, and my subordinates have already finished theirs."

"The Inspection Bureau should be the busiest, yet here you are, still having time for competitions." Prince Anning somewhat envied, "Liu Tianning is really useful."

"Why don’t you let him take up a position in Shangyu Bureau as well?"

"Liu Tianning is already serving as the Two Prefectures Transfer Officer, still to add him to your Shangyu Bureau to gather intelligence? Isn’t his power too great for just a Secondary Fourth-rank?" said Prince Xin.

"He’s already serving as the Two Prefectures Transfer Officer, are you worried about adding a Yu Envoy?" Prince Anning laughed, "Luo Hou, how about it, lend him to me for use. It’s quite troublesome to search for someone in the Flame Light Royal Court’s territory, and those sand worms are really annoying."

Babok Worms, adept at burrowing, the troops of Flame Light Royal Court largely operated underground.

During the training phase, the most difficult thing to provide was the military intelligence of the Flame Light Royal Court.

"Restoring one of Liu Tianning’s Ten Thousand Skill Avatars costs a lot of treasures," King Luo Hou stated.

"The money can come from my Shangyu Bureau."

"He alone is worth three hundred men now. To have him work for you too, outsiders might inevitably say that I treat my subordinates harshly."

"You, Luo Hou, afraid of this?"

"If Liu Tianning were in your Shangyu Bureau, he might be subject to people..."

"I’ll increase the pay," Prince Anning grumbled, "I’ll raise his salary, request a merit rank, and after it’s done, give him three Seventh-rank Treasures."

King Luo Hou smiled, "Deal."

"..."

Prince Xin laughed, "Hahaha, if you had said this earlier, Luo Hou would have nodded."

"Borrowing a person from Luo Hou is truly not easy," Prince Anning stated.

"By the way, I remember his disciple Zhao Xing was dispatched to the East Sea, it’s been two years now, hasn’t it?"

"Not quite two years," King Luo Hou stated, "he is now participating in the preselection of the Beast Competition."

"Oh?" Prince Anning checked the Earth Mirror, "Twin Dragon Horse Supervisors, the performance evaluation has been excellent for a year..."

Prince Xin stated, "Twin Islands have poor foundations; if they maintain an excellent rating for five consecutive years, and can lead Twin Islands to qualify in the Purple Cloud Islands group matches, and participate in East Sea’s elimination rounds, he can be promoted from Secondary Fifth-rank."

"If he qualifies from East Sea, to participate in the Four Seas Summit Competition, a Regular Fifth Grade is undeniable."

Prince Anning stated, "To come from nothing within ten years, it’s probably a bit difficult."

King Luo Hou nodded, "It is indeed tough. How about, Prince Anning, you and I make a bet on whether Zhao Xing can, by his own skill, raise a fighting beast capable of participating in the Summit Competition within ten years."

Prince Anning pondered, "What’s the stake?"

King Luo Hou stated, "You, Prince Anning, are wealthy. It surely should be a bet for an Eighth Rank Treasure."

Prince Anning nodded, "Fine, I bet he can’t."

King Luo Hou stated, "Prince Anning, you might as well start preparing the Eighth Rank Treasure now."

"What do you mean?" Prince Anning was taken aback, then saw King Luo Hou wave his hand, bringing an Earth Mirror screen before him.

It displayed a battle between a Mountain Cat and an Emperor Crocodile.

"This cat, is a war pet raised by Zhao Xing. Last year, it was just Sixth Rank."

"Now, by using Responsive Methods, Zhao Xing has raised it to Early Fifth Grade."

King Luo Hou stated, "It has consumed quite a few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauties in Ten Suns Cave Heaven and can now challenge Fourth Rank fighting beasts."

"This is a combat scene that just came in."

After watching, Prince Anning widened his eyes, "Good one, Luo Hou, you actually tricked me?"

King Luo Hou, "I haven’t cheated you, this really just came in."

Prince Anning snorted, "Even so, you might not win, just a Mountain Cat, too weak and alone, how can it break through the ranks?"

Prince Xin, Liu Yong, clapped his hands, "That sounds familiar."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard King Heavenly Destiny mention his bet with Luo Hou, the first time betting; back then Luo Hou didn’t believe Zhao Xing could make it, and the result was him losing two Seventh-rank Divine Weapons."

"Hmph, I don’t believe in this evil," Prince Anning stated, "I really want to see how he gets that Mountain Cat to the summit competition."
